NETSCOUT SYSTEMS INC

We have adopted a code of ethics as defined by regulations promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Exchange Act, which applies to all of NetScout’s employees, officers, and our Directors and subsidiaries, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, and controller, and persons performing similar functions. A current copy of our code of ethics, or Code of Conduct, is available at the Governance section of our website at https://www.netscout.com/corporate-responsibility/governance. NetScout intends to disclose amendments to or waivers from provisions of the Code of Conduct that apply to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, or controller, and persons performing similar functions, by posting such information on our website, available at http://ir.netscout.com/. The contents of our website are not part of or incorporated by reference into this Proxy Statement.

Employees, officers and Directors may use our ethics reporting system to report alleged unethical, dishonest, or unlawful behavior and to seek guidance regarding the expectations established by NetScout’s Code of Conduct. NetScout prohibits retaliation against anyone who in good faith reports a concern or who participates in the investigation or resolution of a concern.

Our CEO reinforces our Code of Conduct, which is managed by our Chief Compliance Officer. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees the Code of Conduct as a whole and reviews and recommends to the Board revisions to the Code of Conduct as needed as a result of changes in law, rules, policy, or circumstances. In addition, the Audit Committee reviews the results of management’s efforts to monitor compliance with the Company’s programs and policies designed to ensure adherence to applicable laws and rules, including its Code of Conduct.
