Subject to the Transition Period and Affiliated Fund Exclusion provisions described below, 「10b5-1 Designated Persons」 (as defined below) are required to conduct all purchase and sale transactions involving Meta’s securities, including the sale of Meta securities that they control through a Trust or other entity, through a 10b5-1 Trading Plan and will not be entitled to conduct transactions in open trading windows outside of a 10b5-1 Trading Plan. However, bona fide gifts, any transfers pursuant to a divorce settlement/agreement or other similar court order, or transfers for estate planning purposes by 10b5-1 Designated Persons need not be conducted under a 10b5-1 Trading Plan. In addition, sales by foundations or other charitable entities controlled by 10b5-1 Designated Persons of shares received as a result of a bona fide gift need not be conducted under a 10b5-1 Trading Plan if (a) the underlying gift was effected during an open trading window while not in possession of material non-public information and (b) the decision to sell such gifted securities is made by an independent investment committee without any consultation with or influence of the transferor. For purposes of this policy, 「10b5-1 Designated Persons」 means the following
individuals: (i) members of Meta’s Board of Directors, (ii) Meta’s "officers" as defined under Rule 16a-1(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (collectively, 「Section 16 officers」), and (iii) certain other individuals (such as members of management who report directly to Meta’s Chief Executive Officer) who may be designated from time to time by joint approval of the 10b5-1 Compliance Officer and Chief Financial Officer.
Other personnel who are not 10b5-1 Designated Persons may also adopt 10b5-1 Trading Plans, and those plans will also be subject to this policy in the same manner as plans adopted by 10b5-1 Designated Persons.
Affiliated Fund Exclusion: For purposes of members of the Board of Directors under this policy, 「Meta securities」 excludes all Meta securities held or controlled by venture capital investment partnerships or other similar entities affiliated with such directors, provided such directors or their immediate family members or an entity formed for the benefit of such directors or their immediate family members are not the primary beneficiaries of such partnerships or entities. An immediate family member of a director includes such director’s spouse (or spousal equivalent), parents, stepparents, children, stepchildren, siblings, dependents, mothers- and fathers-in-law, sons- and daughters-in-law, brothers- and sisters-in-law, and any person (other than a tenant or employee) sharing the director’s household.
