Investor Relations And The Media
Shareholders, financial analysts, the media, customers, vendors, creditors and others
count on Micron to provide reliable information on the Company’s operations,
performance and outlook.
To protect the integrity of the information:
• Only those team members specifically authorized to do so may respond to inquiries
from members of the media or the investment community (e.g., shareholders,
brokers, financial analysts, etc.). All such inquiries must be forwarded promptly to
the Strategic Communications Department.
• Personnel who are authorized to speak to investors and analysts on behalf of
Micron may not provide “special” or favored treatment to some. We must
provide all members of the public equal access to the same honest and
accurate information.
Records Management
Maintaining documents and other records is essential to the work of our Company,
and care must be taken to ensure that all records are managed properly. The following
principles should guide team members:
Maintain records specifically required by law or business needs. Some laws
have specific record-keeping requirements. Micron maintains a Records
Management policy to ensure that the Company meets business and legal retention
obligations. Under this policy, information is defined by function and assigned the
appropriate retention times. We must faithfully maintain all records as required.
Be alert to the need for accuracy – especially when documents are produced
for an official purpose. Team members should always try to ensure the accuracy
of records, but this becomes especially important when documents and other
records or documents are produced for an official purpose, such as litigation, a
government inquiry or regulatory review. Providing false or misleading records is
wrong under any circumstances. In particular, doing so when records are produced
or maintained for official purposes is a serious violation of law and can lead to civil
and criminal liability.
Retain any records related to litigation or an investigation. If there is an
investigation or litigation, or one is anticipated, it is essential to retain any related
records – including all electronic records. Be sure that automatic disposal or
deletion systems are stopped as necessary to preserve such records.
Keep only what is required under Company record retention policies. While
records must be maintained, every business needs an orderly process for retaining
records and documents. The cost of physical and electronic storage increases
dramatically over time when records are kept unnecessarily. Consult Company record
retention policies for guidance on the proper retention of documents.
