American Express Company Semi-Annual Political Contributions Report

July-December 2021

American Express participates in the political process through the American Express Company Political Action Committee (AXP PAC) and through corporate political contributions in those jurisdictions where it is permissible to do so. AXP PAC is supported entirely through voluntary contributions from those who are eligible. We do not spend corporate funds directly on electioneering communications, and our PAC does not contribute to presidential campaigns.

In this report, which is updated semi-annually and posted on our company website, we provide information about all political contributions made through our PAC or with corporate funds to political candidates, parties and committees. We also disclose contributions to other political entities organized and operating under 26 U.S.C. Sec. 527 of the Internal Revenue Code; independent political expenditures; dues used for political purposes by trade associations that respond to our request, entities organized under section 501(c) 4 of the Code, and other tax exempt organizations (that receive in excess of $50,000 during the calendar year from the Company); and payments made to influence the outcome of ballot measures as defined under Subsection 162(e)(1)(B) of the Code. In addition, we include a list of principal U.S. trade and industry associations to which we have paid annual dues of $50,000 or more in the most recent fiscal year and the portion of our dues or payments made that are used for lobbying purposes under section 162(e) of the Internal Revenue Code.
