**5. Political Involvement and Political Contributions**
a. Political Involvement. We believe in the right of our associates to participate in
the political process. We encourage our associates to be active in charitable and political activities
[on their own time and at their own expense. In particular, our Code of Conduct](https://investors.veralto.com/download/Veralto_Code-of-Conduct-Final.pdf) provides that:
- In all communications, associates must make clear that political views and actions are
their own and not those of Veralto.
- Associates may never use Veralto resources to contribute to, support or oppose any
political party or candidate unless approved by Veralto Corporation's Board of Directors
or a committee of the Board.
- Supervisors should not solicit direct or indirect reports to contribute to, support or
oppose any political party or candidate.
- Associates may never make a charitable or political contribution with the intent to
improperly influence someone.
b. Political Contributions. No funds or assets of Veralto have been contributed to or
for (1) any political party or candidate, whether federal, state or local, (2) any entity operating
under 26 U.S.C. Sec. 527 of the Internal Revenue Code, (3) any entity organized under 26 U.S.C.
Sec. 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code, (4) any ballot measure or (5) any public
communication that expressly advocates the election or defeat of a political candidate ("Political
Purposes"). Veralto has no intention of contributing any company funds or assets for political
purposes; any contribution of Company funds or assets for political purposes would require
approval by Veralto's President and CEO.
c. Trade/Industry Associations. Veralto belongs to and pays dues to certain U.S.
trade and industry associations. Company policy is that each such association may use no more
than $25,000 of Veralto's dues in any calendar year for political purposes, and Company policy
further requires communication of this policy to the associations of which it is a member.
d. Application, Governance and Communication. Please see Section 10 of this Policy
for a discussion of the applicable scope of this Policy (including this Political Involvement and
Political Contributions section), executive management approval of this Policy (including this
