INANCIAL INTEGRITY
The integrity of our records and public disclosure depends upon the validity, accuracy and completeness of
the information supporting the entries to our books of account. Therefore, our corporate and business
records should be completed accurately and honestly. The making of false or misleading entries is strictly
prohibited. Our records serve as a basis for managing our business and are important in meeting our
obligations to customers, suppliers, creditors, employees and others. We also rely upon our accounting and
other business and corporate records in preparing publicly-filed reports. Securities laws require that these
reports provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure and fairly present our financial
condition and results of operations. Employees who contribute in any way in preparing or verifying these
reports should strive to ensure that our financial disclosure is complete, accurate and transparent.

AIR DEALING
Advantages over our competitors are to be obtained through superior performance of our
products and
services, not through unethical or illegal business practices. Statements regarding Dutch Bros’ services
must not be untrue, misleading, deceptive or fraudulent. Acquiring proprietary information from others
through improper means, possessing trade secret information that was improperly obtained, or inducing
improper disclosure of confidential information from employees of other companies is prohibited. You are
expected to deal fairly with our customers, suppliers, employees and anyone else with whom you have
contact in the course of performing your job. Employees involved in procurement have a special
responsibility to adhere to principles of fair competition in the purchase of products and services by
selecting suppliers based exclusively on normal commercial considerations, such as quality, cost,
availability, service and reputation, and not on the receipt of special favors.
