Dear Valued Business Partner:
尊敬的业务合作伙伴:
At ZTE, we understand that export compliance benefits both our company and our business partners. This update describes some of our recent efforts to ensure compliance, to prevent future problems and to maintain strong relationships with our business partners.
中兴公司理解,出口合规使我公司和我们的业务合作伙伴受益。本篇通讯稿描述我们近期为确保合规、防止后患以及与我们的业务合作伙伴维护稳固的关系而作出的某些努力。
ZTE is actively working to meet all of its compliance obligations under its Superseding Settlement Agreement (“SSA”) with the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”). ZTE is committed to ensuring export compliance to avoid any future issues for ZTE or our business partners. ZTE is cooperating with the Monitor and the Special Compliance Coordinator (“SCC”), achieving milestones under the SSA, updating BIS regarding the steps it is taking to fulfill its SSA obligations, and continuing to make advancements on its export compliance program.
中兴公司正在积极履行其与美国商务部工业安全局(“BIS”)所达成的《替代和解协议》(“SSA”)下的所有合规义务。中兴公司致力于确保出口合规以避免我们自身或我们的业务合作伙伴今后在合规方面产生任何问题。中兴公司正在配合监察官和特别合规协调员(“SCC”)的工作,实现SSA下的里程碑式进步,就其为履行SSA下的义务而采取的步骤向BIS报告最新情况,并持续在其出口合规项目中取得进展。
●ZTE Continues to Cooperate with the Special Compliance Coordinator and the Monitor: ZTE continues to cooperate with the Special Compliance Coordinator, Roscoe Howard Jr., and the Monitor, James M. Stanton. Their teams have visited numerous ZTE sites and have participated in ZTE training and meetings at locations worldwide. For example, in December 2018, SCC team members spent approximately three weeks in China with ZTE personnel to participate in meetings and site visits. The SCC and Monitor have praised the commitment of ZTE’s senior leadership to compliance, as well as the efforts of ZTE’s Legal and Compliance leaders in enhancing the Company’s compliance program. Recently, in January 2019, the Monitor and SCC teams have completed additional site visits and met with ZTE personnel worldwide. In the coming months, ZTE will continue to support the SCC’s and Monitor’s work and implement their recommendations, as part of the Company’s broader effort to continue to strengthen its export compliance program.
