### ANTITRUST CHECKLIST FOR AMERICAN CHEMISTRY COUNCIL
MEETINGS

This antitrust checklist is for use by American Chemistry Council staff and member representatives in the

conduct of American Chemistry Council

- sponsored meetings. Prohibited discussion topics apply equally to social
gatherings incidental to American Chemistry Council

- sponsored meetings . The Checklis t is not exhaustive and

does not address antitrust issues relating to activities other than American Chemistry Council meetings.
Participants in American Chemistry Council meetings also should be thoroughly familiar with: (1) “Antitrust

Guide for American Chemistry Council Committee Members”; and (2) “General Principles Applicable to the
Structure and Operations of Committees.” Both of these documents may be found in the American Chemistry

Council Directory.

OVERSIGHT/SUPERVISION:

 have an American Chemistry Council staff representative at each American Chemistry Council

sponsored meeting (unless an exception has been authorized by the appropriate American Chemistry Council vice president);

 consult with an attorney from Legal Shared Services on all antitrust questions relating to American Chemistry

Council

- sponsored meetings;

 limit meeting discussions to agenda topics (unless additional topics have been approved by the appropriate American Chemistry Co uncil staff representative); and

 provide each member company representative and American Chemistry Council staff representative attending an American Chemistry Council

- sponsored meeting with a copy of this checklist, and have a copy

available for refer ence at all American Chemistry

Council

- sponsored meetings.

RECORDKEEPING:

 provide agendas and minutes to Legal Shared Services for review and approval in advance of distrib ution; and

 fully describe the purposes and authorities of all task groups, work groups, ad hoc or other standing committee subgroups in the minutes of the appropriate parent
