Payments of Company funds to any trade association, chamber of commerce or a related organization will be reviewed by a representative of Governmental and Public Affairs. [...] On an annual basis, Atmos Energy will disclose on our website, in an appendix to this Policy, the aggregate amount of the portion of trade association dues used for lobbying activities, as reported by each trade association to whom Atmos Energy pays annual dues in excess of $50,000. [...] If any such contributions were made in the future, they would first be approved by the Company's Vice President of Governmental and Public Affairs and would be made and disclosed in compliance with all applicable state laws. [...] This advocacy is managed by the leadership of our various divisions and is coordinated by Governmental and Public Affairs. [...] Employees who are registered lobbyists on behalf of the Company must also comply with Company procedures for tracking and reporting activities and related expenses. [...] All expenditures by the Atmos Energy PAC are reviewed and approved by Governmental and Public Affairs and are then approved by the PAC's finance committee, which is comprised of senior officers of the Company. [...] On at least an annual basis, a representative of Governmental and Public Affairs reports to the Atmos Energy Board of Directors on the Company's political activities and expenditures. Such report includes, but is not limited to, a discussion of the Company's state and federal lobbying expenditures, payments to trade associations, chambers of commerce or other tax-exempt organizations that may be using the funds for lobbying or political activities.
