Item 10-Shareholder Proposal Requesting Additional Reporting on Risks Associated with the Use of Certain Contract Clauses Why We Recommend You Vote Against This Proposal We have already prepared the requested report and disclosed the information sought by this proposal. As discussed in more detail in the report: We do not include the types of confidentiality clauses mentioned in the proposal in the agreements our employees sign when hired We do not impose those restrictions through our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics or any other policies applicable to our employees We use these types of confidentiality clauses when entering into a mutually agreed separation or severance agreement with an employee or when resolving claims made by an employee or former employee through a settlement agreement We do not prohibit the individual from reporting concerns about allegedly unlawful conduct to appropriate law enforcement bodies or government regulators We do not require employees to sign arbitration agreements We support every employee's right to speak freely about their work environment regardless of whether they have positive or critical perspectives or experiences, and our external communications policy affirmatively states that "employees (including hourly fulfillment center employees) may freely communicate about their personal work experiences at Amazon without PR approval, including posting on social media" We take any allegations of unlawful conduct, including discrimination and harassment, very seriously We carefully review and investigate allegations of conduct that is unlawful or violates our policies, regardless of the position of the individual involved and regardless of whether we enter into a settlement agreement with the person making the claims Our Leadership Development and Compensation Committee receives detailed quarterly updates on any allegations of unlawful discrimination and harassment against employees in vice-president-level positions or above or employees investigated on behalf of Amazon by an external investigator amazon Proponents: Whistle Stop Capital on behalf of James C Manolis, Eliana Fishman, and Handlery Hotels Inc. 19
