Solicitation refers to all expression of intention by the solicitor, including requests that may affect the work and decisions of Company executives or employees for the purpose of his/her or other people’s gains.

• - Actions where employees receiving solicitations incur interests to themselves whether they accept or reject the solicitation.
• - Actions where employees feel psychologically burdened to conduct fair business due to the solicitor's request.

• - The scope of solicitation is broadened beyond the legal range to include all expressions of intention that could hinder fairness.
• - In ambiguous cases where it is unclear whether it is a solicitation or regular business, the principle is to report 100% of all content to the Jeong-Do Management Office without judging whether it is a solicitation.
• - Any executive or employee who does not report the case even if he/she was aware that it is recommendation/solicitation may face severe sanctions by the HR.

Results of a recommendation/solicitation must be managed separately by relevant departments, such as HR and purchasing, and penalties may be imposed on relevant employees and/or companies.
