Corporate Political Spending
KeyCorp does not contribute corporate funds for election campaigns. This prohibition includes
support to candidate campaign committees, political parties or committees, or political
committees organized for the advancement of political candidates, independent expenditures, or
Super PACs. Furthermore, KeyCorp does not make contributions to other political entities
organized under Section 527 of the Internal Revenue code or to special interest lobbying groups
organized under Section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code for political purposes. KeyCorp
does support 501(c)(4) organizations that support initiatives that align with our commitment to
our communities, which include initiatives that would make a positive impact on our ability to do
business, spur economic growth and enhance the quality of life in the communities we serve. In

provide an opportunity for eligible employees to participate in the political process. A political
action committee is a separate segregated fund that solicits contributions from individuals
associated with the sponsoring organization. Only certain officers, managers and professional
employees are eligible to contribute to the KeyCorp Advocates Funds. The Funds make
campaign contributions, on a nonpartisan basis, to individual candidates, parties or committees
whose views on specific issues are consistent with KeyCorp’s concerns and long­term goals
and/or represent communities we serve. Funds are managed in compliance with all federal,
state and local election laws, including the Federal Election Campaign Act, Municipal Securities
Rulemaking Board Rules, and Investment Advisor Rules.
