Conflict of Interest Disclosure

Last Updated on July 5, 2026

Welcome to Marketeq Digital Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "Marketeq," "we," "us," or "our"). This Conflict of Interest Disclosure document (the "Policy") describes Marketeq's approach to identifying, disclosing, and managing conflicts of interest. Managing conflicts of interest appropriately is essential to maintaining the trust of our clients and the integrity of our business. This Policy supplements our Code of Conduct and Anti-Corruption Policy. If you have any questions regarding this Policy, you may contact us at legal@marketeqdigital.com.

1. Purpose and Scope

The purpose of this Policy is to describe how Marketeq identifies and manages conflicts of interest. This Policy applies to Marketeq's directors, officers, employees, and, where relevant, contractors and others acting on its behalf. It reflects our commitment to acting in the best interests of our clients and to avoiding situations in which personal interests improperly influence business decisions. This Policy is intended to promote transparency and to protect the integrity of our operations. Compliance with this Policy is expected of all to whom it applies.

2. Definition of a Conflict of Interest

For the purposes of this Policy, a "Conflict of Interest" arises where an individual's personal, financial, or other interests could improperly influence, or appear to influence, the performance of their duties or the interests of Marketeq or its clients. Conflicts of interest may be actual, potential, or perceived, and all warrant appropriate attention. A conflict may arise, for example, from personal relationships, outside activities, financial interests, or competing loyalties. Recognizing conflicts of interest is the first step toward managing them appropriately. This definition guides how we identify conflicts across our operations.

3. Duty to Avoid and Disclose

Personnel are expected to avoid situations that create actual or apparent conflicts of interest wherever possible. Where a conflict of interest arises or may arise, personnel are expected to disclose it promptly in accordance with our procedures. Disclosure enables the conflict to be assessed and managed appropriately. The duty to disclose applies to actual, potential, and perceived conflicts. Prompt and honest disclosure is central to the effective management of conflicts of interest.

4. Common Situations

Conflicts of interest may arise in a variety of situations. These may include holding a financial interest in a client, competitor, or supplier; engaging in outside employment or activities that compete with or affect Marketeq; hiring or supervising a close personal relation; or accepting gifts or benefits that could influence a decision. Conflicts may also arise where the interests of one client conflict with those of another. Recognizing these common situations helps personnel to identify and disclose conflicts. We encourage personnel to seek guidance where they are uncertain whether a conflict exists.

5. Managing Conflicts

Upon disclosure, Marketeq assesses the conflict of interest and determines appropriate measures to manage it. Depending on the circumstances, management measures may include reassigning responsibilities, implementing safeguards, obtaining informed consent, or, where necessary, declining or withdrawing from a matter. We seek to manage conflicts in a manner that protects the interests of our clients and the integrity of our business. Our approach to managing conflicts is proportionate to the nature and significance of the conflict. Effective management preserves trust and confidence.

6. Client-Related Conflicts

Marketeq is mindful of conflicts of interest that may arise in the context of serving multiple clients, particularly where their interests may compete. We take reasonable steps to identify and manage such conflicts, which may include implementing appropriate safeguards or obtaining consent where required. We seek to serve each client fairly and to protect the confidentiality of client information. Managing client-related conflicts is essential to maintaining trust in our services. We treat client-related conflicts with particular care.

7. Record-Keeping and Monitoring

Marketeq maintains appropriate records of disclosed conflicts of interest and the measures taken to manage them. We monitor conflicts of interest as part of our broader compliance efforts and review our approach where appropriate. Record-keeping supports accountability and enables us to demonstrate that conflicts have been managed appropriately. We handle conflict-of-interest records in accordance with applicable law and our data protection practices. Monitoring and record-keeping support the effectiveness of this Policy.

8. Consequences of Non-compliance

Failure to disclose or appropriately manage a conflict of interest may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment or engagement. Undisclosed conflicts can undermine the trust of our clients and the integrity of our business. We treat the failure to comply with this Policy as a serious matter. Compliance with this Policy protects both individuals and the organization. We are committed to managing conflicts of interest responsibly.

9. Changes to This Policy

Marketeq reserves the right to modify or update this Conflict of Interest Disclosure document at any time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any changes will become effective upon posting the revised Policy, and we encourage you to review it periodically. Where changes are material, we will endeavor to communicate them through appropriate means.
