Item 14—Shareholder Proposal Requesting Additional Reporting on
Lobbying
Why We Recommend You Vote Against This Proposal
We report comprehensively and transparently on an annual basis our public policy expenditures,
including direct and indirect lobbying expenditures such as our payments to U.S.-based trade
associations, coalitions, charities, and social welfare organizations to which our Public Policy team
contributed at least $10,000
While we may not agree with every position of every organization that we support, we believe that
our support will help advance those policy objectives that are aligned with our interests and
influence the organization's policy positions in ways that we believe may ultimately align with our
objectives
We have processes in place to provide oversight of our public policy activities, and we take a number
of actions to mitigate the potential risk associated with misalignment between our views and the
lobbying activities undertaken by organizations we support
Our Audit Committee annually reviews the U.S. Political Engagement Policy and Statement, related
procedures, and a report on all of our campaign contributions and lobbying expenses
