Political Contributions and Lobbying“The Company made no direct political contributions in 2024 but does hold membership in recognized and reputable industry groups that may conduct lobbying activities. West supports trade associations to advance collaborative approaches to problems faced by companies engaged in the same industries that we are in, but our support does not extend to use of our funds to support any candidate, party or ballot measure. We also monitor the major policy positions taken by these associations to ensure they are consistent with our positions.”

Anti-Hedging and Pledging Policies“We prohibit directors, officers and team members from engaging in hedging or monetization transactions, such as zero-cost collars and forward sale contracts, which would allow them to continue to own our common stock, but without the full risks and rewards of ownership. We also prohibit directors, executive officers and other senior team members from engaging in pledging or hypothecating our securities as collateral for a loan without demonstrating to the General Counsel that a director or officer has the financial capacity to repay the loan. It is expected that this exception would be permitted only in exceedingly rare circumstances. We have never granted an exception or waiver to these policies. No pledging is permitted to cover margin debt. Additionally, no West securities may be held in a margin account by directors or officers because there is a risk of the shares being sold without consent. Directors and officers are prohibited from engaging in short sales or other short-position transactions in West securities as well.”
