A Message from Rady Johnson & Sally Susman, Co-Chairs, Pfizer PAC

We are pleased to share our 2023 political contributions report, which includes a list of candidates and political committees supported either by Pfizer Inc. or the Pfizer PAC, from January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2023.

We are proud our PAC is bipartisan and contributes to elected officials in both political parties who support policies that encourage innovation and put patients first. Pfizer continues its work to advance commonsense policies that focus on expanding patients' ability to access and afford their medicines.

In the 2023 cycle, the Pfizer PAC and Pfizer Inc. supported 980 candidates and multiple political committees from both sides of the aisle and at all levels of government. Fifty-six percent (56%) of the Pfizer PAC disbursements went to Republicans and forty-four percent (44%) went to Democrats. Our PAC support and corporate political contributions do not imply an endorsement of a candidate or an elected official's position on every issue.

We hope you will take some time to review our 2023 political contributions report. Together, our efforts can advance Pfizer's mission of Breakthroughs that Change Patients' Lives.

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‐profits, and even many major corporations.

How Does Pfizer PAC Work?

The Pfizer political action committee, Pfizer PAC, is a nonpartisan organization that provides opportunities for employees to participate in the American political process. The Pfizer PAC is an employee‐run organization with a Steering Committee made up of Pfizer employees from different divisions of the company. All corporate PACs are funded by voluntary employee contributions. Pfizer PAC is no different; it relies on the participation of Pfizer colleagues.

Who Receives Pfizer

PAC Contributions?

Pfizer PAC is nonpartisan. It supports Democrats and Republicans

alike. From January 2023 through December 2023, Pfizer PAC supported 495 candidates. True to its nonpartisan values, Pfizer PAC is committed to support candidates from both political parties who share Pfizer's vision and values for healthcare. When choosing to make a contribution to a candidate, the Pfizer PAC considers the candidates' view on issues that impact Pfizer, our employees and the patients we serve. This includes policy priorities that support the development of and patient access to innovative medicines, manufacturing, a secure supply chain, patient affordability and intellectual property rights. We may also consider the presence of Pfizer facilities or employees in the candidates' district or state where the candidate is aligned on key priorities. A complete list of Pfizer PAC and state corporate political contributions for January 2023 - December 2023 is included in this report.

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 (#802a) that requires all PAC and corporate political contributions to be compiled and published annually in a report that is made available to employees, shareholders, and the public, and posted on the Company's website at www.pfizer.comin "Political Partnerships" under the "About Pfizer" tab within the "Programs & Policies" section. At the end of each Federal cycle (every two years), the Pfizer PAC is audited by Withum, a certified public accounting and advisory firm.

In 2023, Pfizer requested that trade associations receiving total payments of $25,000 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. Prior to 2023, we requested this information from trade associations receiving total payments of $100,000 or more. We are disclosing such information received from our trade associations in this report.

Pfizer has a PAC Steering Committee comprised of nine colleagues who review and approve all PAC and corporate political contributions on a monthly basis. 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 2010, Pfizer adopted a policy that prohibits the company from making direct independent expenditures, including direct contributions to 527 independent expenditure committees, a decision supported by the executives and affirmed by the Governance & Sustainability Committee of our Board. The PAC report also explains that Pfizer typically does not make contributions to 527 Issue Organizations. However, if requested to make such a contribution, it would undergo review and approval by the Political Contributions Policy Committee (PCPC). The PCPC, co-chaired by Pfizer's Chief Corporate Affairs Officer and the Chief Compliance, Quality & Risk Officer, consists of senior leaders from various divisions. Any contributions made to 527 Issue Organizations would be disclosed in the PAC report.
