Any violation of the Code or applicable law must be reported to the Corporate Compliance Officer or the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Compliance with Anti-Bribery and Corruption Laws The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) is a United States federal law that applies to Medpace and its international subsidiaries. The UK Anti-Bribery Act also applies to Medpace and its subsidiaries. All Medpace companies around the world potentially fall within the scope of these laws. Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy The FCPA and the UK Anti-Bribery Act prohibit companies or individuals from directly or indirectly making payments or offering anything of value to government officials or private individuals for the purpose of influencing any official act or decision, or encouraging or discouraging any action in violation of any legal duty, to secure an improper business advantage. Medpace is committed to full compliance with the FCPA and the UK Anti-Bribery Act. Medpace strictly prohibits making any payments or providing gifts or anything of value to a government official or private individual to influence an official act or decision or to induce the person to do or not do anything in violation of the person’s legal duty, in order to gain a business advantage. This includes any payments, gifts or favors, using Medpace funds or personal funds, by any Medpace employee, or by any third party on behalf of Medpace or a Medpace employee. Government official includes anyone who is an officer, employee or representative of a government of any country, or a state-owned entity including, for example, government-owned or controlled hospitals or physicians, or members of agencies or committees performing government functions such as granting, withholding or withdrawing regulatory approvals, licenses and permits. In order to ensure compliance with the law, it is essential that Medpace financial records accurately and fairly reflect all corporate transactions, no matter how small. Recording any payments, gifts or other expenditures in any way that would conceal their true nature, the recipient, or the amount is also a violation of this policy. No undisclosed or unrecorded funds or assets of Medpace are to be established for any purpose. Enforcement of this Policy The Medpace Corporate Compliance Officer, acting on behalf of and under the authority of the company’s Board of Directors, is responsible for the enforcement of this policy. The Corporate Compliance Officer works with management to develop, implement, maintain and monitor appropriate policies and procedures which support compliance, inform Medpace employees and contractors of their specific responsibilities under this policy, monitor for compliance, and address any non-compliance. The Corporate Compliance Officer periodically reports on these efforts to the Board of Directors. Violation of the law on which this policy is based can subject Medpace and its Board of Directors, management and employees to prosecution, criminal fines and imprisonment.

Medpace Toll-Free Numbers About Reporting All employees are held accountable for their actions and are required to report unethical or unlawful activities, violations of the Code, or violations of the Policy on Anti-Bribery and Corruption to the Corporate Compliance Officer. Managers are ultimately responsible for ensuring that the employees they supervise are knowledgeable about and in compliance with all Medpace policies. Any employee who violates the Code or the Policy on Anti-Bribery and Corruption, or who is aware of, but fails to report any such violation or any other unlawful or unethical business behavior, is subject to disciplinary action, including termination of employment and/or legal action. Reasonable judgment must be exercised to avoid baseless allegations. An employee who intentionally files a false report of wrongdoing will be subject to discipline up to and including termination. Employees who file reports in good faith will not be subject to discipline. Retaliation for filing a report is prohibited. Any employee who has reported what he/she believes to be illegal or unethical activity or a violation of the Code and who believes he/she is being retaliated against must contact the Corporate Compliance Officer immediately. The right of an employee for protection against retaliation does not include immunity for any personal wrongdoing that is alleged or discovered in the course of the investigation. Anonymous reports will be accepted, but those making a report are encouraged to identify themselves in case more information is needed during the investigation. To the extent possible, the confidentiality of the person filing the report will be maintained. However, identity may have to be disclosed to conduct a thorough investigation, to comply with the law and to provide accused individuals their legal rights of defense. A person making a report is not responsible for investigating the activity or for determining fault or corrective measures. Appropriate management officials are charged with these responsibilities.
