Whistle Blower Policy

All employees are encouraged to report either orally or in writing to their immediate supervisor, or appropriate manager, all evidence of activity by a company department or employee that may constitute:

Instances of corporate fraud;
Unethical business conduct;
A violation of State or Federal law;
Substantial and specific danger to the employee's or public's health and safety; or
A violation of the Company’s Code of Ethics.

Any employee who, in good faith reports such incidents as described above will be protected from threats of retaliation, discharge, or other types of discrimination including but not limited to compensation or terms and conditions of employment that are directly related to the disclosure of such reports. In addition, no employee may be adversely affected because the employee refused to carry out a directive which, in fact, constitutes corporate fraud or is a violation of State or Federal law.

If you want to report evidence of alleged improper activity as described, you should contact your immediate supervisor, or the supervisor's manager. In instances where you are not satisfied with the supervisor or manager's response, or are uncomfortable for any reason addressing such concerns to your supervisor or the manager of such supervisor, you may contact the Chairman of the Board via private email at lbernhard@milestonescientific.com. Employees are encouraged to provide as much specific information as possible including names, dates, places, and events that took place, the employee's perception of why the incident(s) may be a violation.

The Audit Committee may enlist employees of the company and/or outside legal, accounting or other advisors, as appropriate, to conduct any investigation of complaints regarding financial statement disclosures, accounting, internal accounting controls, auditing matters or violations of the Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers or Code of Business Conduct.
