 its independence would be impaired. Any approval required under the policy must be given by the Audit Committee, by the Chair of the Audit Committee in office at the time, or by any other Audit Committee member to whom the Audit Committee has delegated that authority. The Audit Committee does not delegate its responsibilities to approve services performed by the independent auditor to any member of management. The standard applied by the Audit Committee in determining whether to grant approval of any engagement of the independent auditor is whether the services to be performed, the compensation to be paid therefor and other related factors are consistent with the independent auditor’s independence under guidelines of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, and applicable professional standards. The Audit Committee considers: • Whether the work product is likely to be subject to, or implicated in, audit procedures during the audit of PTC’s financial statements; • Whether the independent auditor would be functioning in the role of management or in an advocacy role; • Whether performance of the service by the independent auditor would enhance PTC’s ability to manage or control risk or improve audit quality; • Whether performance of the service by the independent auditor would increase efficiency because of the auditor’s familiarity with PTC’s business, personnel, culture, systems, risk profile and other factors; and • Whether the amount of fees involved, or the proportion of the total fees payable for tax and other non-audit services, would tend to reduce the independent auditor’s ability to exercise independent judgment in performing the audit.
