REPORTING A POTENTIAL ETHICS VIOLATION

We all play a role in protecting our company and our brand. If you have information about a violation (or potential violation) of our Code of Business Conduct, you have a responsibility to report it.

You have a responsibility to help protect LiveWire’s reputation and ensure our actions don’t compromise our future success. It takes courage to raise an ethical or compliance-related issue, especially if it involves a co-worker or a situation in your work area. However, if you have any information about activities or behavior that conflicts with or could be perceived to conflict with the Code of Business Conduct or our policies, or a law or regulation, you have an obligation to report the potential violation.

All reported Code of Business Conduct violations will be investigated while considering the rights and privacy of all parties concerned. In certain cases, the identity of the employee reporting the violation can be kept confidential. However, there may be times when it is required to reveal that information under the law, or to conduct proper investigation. Reports made through the helpline website or by telephone and all other non-anonymous reporting will receive a timely response.

You can report a potential violation by either:

  • Contacting your supervisor;
  • Contacting the Human Resources department;
  • Contacting the Legal department;
  • Using our Ethics Helpline

To report a potential violation using LiveWire’s Ethics Helpline, please visit our third-party hosted site at: https://irdirect.net/LVWREV/whistleblower_iframe. From this site, you may either report a potential violation directly online, or you can call by telephone following the directions on the site.

To process potential violations or inquiries filed by you, we may be required to collect personal information from you. This information may be shared, on a strict need to know basis, with supervisors and/or Human Resources and Legal department personnel located in other LiveWire subsidiary affiliates, including subsidiaries in countries that do not offer the same level of protection to personal information as does your country of residence. Reasonable steps will be taken to keep your information secure at all times. Please contact the Human Resources or Legal department for more information.


NON-RETALIATION POLICY STATEMENT

The company will not take any action against you as a result of reporting misconduct or raising an ethical issue in good faith. If you report a suspected violation of our Code of Business Conduct, policy, law or regulation and a violation is confirmed, the company will take appropriate disciplinary action, consistent with any applicable local law, collective bargaining agreement or the applicable company policies and procedures. Consequences may range from a verbal warning to dismissal or referral for criminal prosecution, depending upon the situation. If you suspect that you or someone you know has been retaliated against for reporting misconduct or raising an ethical or compliance issue in good faith, immediately contact the Human Resources or Legal department or submit a report using the Ethics Helpline online reporting tool or phone line.


EXCEPTION TO A CODE GUIDELINE

Please contact the General Counsel of LiveWire Group, Inc. if you encounter a situation in which you believe an exception to the Code of Business Conduct should be considered.
