PFIZERPAC OURVOICEINTHE POLITICALPROCESS Pfizer PAC & Corporate Political Contributions Report 2007 – 2008 Cycle Learn which candidates we supported in your community. Pfizer PAC ~ Our Voice in the Political Process A Message from Rich Bagger, Chairman, Pfizer PAC Dear Colleagues: What a year 2008 turned out to be in the political world! It also proved to be full of opportunity for Pfizer. We renewed our commitment and expanded our work to engage key stakeholders and forge new partnerships—from patients to physicians to payers and elected officials. This political contributions disclosure report includes a list of candidates and political committees the Pfizer PAC supported during the 2007-2008 election cycle. I am honored and pleased to report that 2008 was another successful year for the Pfizer PAC. During the 2007-2008 election cycle, we raised $2.96M with a 16% employee PAC participation rate. We were able to support 2,090 candidates in all levels of government. Additionally, Pfizer PAC continued a bi-partisan distribution of funds—50 percent of these candidates supported were Republicans and 50 percent Democrats. I hope that you will take a few moments to review this report and see which candidates the Pfizer PAC supported in your state. This year, it will be more important than ever that we positively engage our elected officials in support of health reform that promotes innovation, expands access and improves quality. I am confident that a strong and healthy Pfizer PAC will once again lead the way on behalf of the patients we serve. Thank you for your support, Rich Bagger PFIZER PAC Our Voice in the Political Process What is a PAC? PAC stands for Political Action Committee. A political action committee is a government-regulated organization that anyone can form to raise money for political campaign donations. PACs are formed by individuals, non-profit organizations, and corporations. Who Receives Pfizer PAC Contributions? Pfizer PAC is nonpartisan. It supports Democrats and Republicans alike. In the 2007-2008 election cycle, Pfizer PAC supported 2,090 candidates at the federal, state and local levels. Pfizer PAC is committed to support candidates from both political parties who share Pfizer’s vision and values for healthcare. During the 2007 – 2008 election cycle, 50% of Pfizer PAC contributions went to Republican candidates and 50% supported Democratic candidates. When choosing to make a contribution to a candidate, the Pfizer 1 PAC considers candidates’ views on issues that impact Pfizer and its employees as well as the presence of Pfizer facilities or employees in the candidate’s district or state. A complete list of Pfizer PAC and corporate political contributions (in states where corporate contributions are permitted) for the 2007-2008 election cycle is included in this report. [ Pfizer PAC & Corporate Political Contributions Report 2007-2008 ] PFIZER PAC & POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS GOVERNANCE POLICY Pfizer complies fully with all federal, state, and local laws and reporting requirements governing PAC and corporate political contributions. Pfizer has a Corporate Policy Procedure (#509) that requires all PAC and corporate political contributions to be compiled and published semi-annually in a report that is made available to employees, shareholders, and the public, and posted on the Company’s website at www.pfizer.com under “About Pfizer” in the Corporate Governance section. Pfizer also requests that trade associations receiving total payments of $100,000 or more from Pfizer in a given year report the portion of Pfizer dues or payments used for expenditures or contributions that, if made directly by Pfizer, would not be deductible under section 162(e)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code. We are disclosing such information received from our trade associations 2 in this report. Pfizer has a PAC Steering Committee comprised of six colleagues who review and approve all PAC and corporate political contributions on a monthly basis. To ensure adequate representation, Steering Committee members represent different divisions within the Pfizer organization. The PAC Steering Committee evaluates candidates on a basis of their views on issues that impact Pfizer and its colleagues. It also takes note of whether Pfizer facilities or colleagues reside in a candidate’s district or state. In addition, all PAC and corporate contribution requests are shared with the Pfizer Political Contributions Policy Committee for review. The Political Contributions Policy Committee is responsible for governing the Pfizer PAC.
