MetLife, Inc. 2019 Political Activities Report

MetLife, Inc. (together with its affiliates, MetLife or the Company) believes that its participation in the political process is an important and essential means of achieving its goals of enhancing shareholder value and of providing people with the financial and insurance products and services they need through various life stages and economic cycles. Legislative and regulatory initiatives and priorities at the United States federal and state levels, including appropriate regulation of the financial and insurance industries, have a profound impact on MetLife and its businesses’ ability to achieve these goals.

MetLife participates in the political process by helping to elect candidates whose views on important issues are good for the nation as well as MetLife and its businesses. MetLife also engages with policymakers on a wide range of public policy matters to advance the issues of importance to its shareholders and policyholders. MetLife participates in the political process through a variety of means, including several political action committees (PACs) and, where permissible, limited direct corporate political contributions to state candidates, committees or ballot issues.

MetLife maintains appropriate policies and procedures and ensures that its political activities are conducted in accordance with all applicable laws governing political contributions and lobbying activities. MetLife solicits contributions to the MetLife PACs only from associates who are eligible to participate under the terms of the PAC and applicable law. Contributions to MetLife PACs are voluntary; MetLife does not favor or disfavor associates on the basis of their participation. Senior management reviews and approves decisions regarding all corporate political contributions, including in‐kind contributions, pursuant to the Company’s policy. MetLife, Inc.’s Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee (the Committee) reviews MetLife’s goals and strategies concerning legislative and regulatory initiatives that impact the interests of the Company. The Committee also receives and reviews MetLife’s annual Political Activities Report, which describes the Company’s political contributions.

This report describes MetLife PACs’ political contributions, the portion of MetLife’s annual payments to trade associations and other tax-exempt organizations allocated to lobbying activities (where the total annual payments to such association or organization exceeded $50,000), and MetLife’s contributions to political candidates or committees.
