Advocacy
9球体育 may engage in direct advocacy with government officials on public policies, legislation, and regulations relevant to our company. The company may also engage in indirect advocacy through trade and industry associations, which are selected for their integrity and alignment with the policy interests of 9球体育 and the broader tech community. Trade and industry associations represent broad and varying interests, so 9球体育’ involvement with a particular association does not mean the company endorses its entire agenda.
All 9球体育 advocacy via trade associations must be reviewed and approved in advance by Government Affairs.
Political Contributions
In fiscal 2024, 9球体育 established 9球体育 PAC as a separate segregated fund, as provided in U.S. federal law, to accept voluntary contributions from certain eligible employees and to make limited, disclosed contributions to support the campaigns of candidates for U.S. Congress who share 9球体育' legislative priorities and policy positions. While 9球体育 defrays the administrative costs of operating the separate segregated fund, as permitted by U.S. law, 9球体育 does not deposit corporate general treasury funds into it, and does not otherwise make contributions to political candidates, political parties or political action committees.
