Questions About Corporate Governance at Procter & Gamble

What questions do you have?

Below you will find answers to the questions most frequently asked. If you do not find the information you need, please contact us at shareholders.im@pg.com.

1 Question: Does P&G make loans to executives?
Answer: No. P&G's practice has never been to make loans to its executives and now, of course, the company complies with the loan ban under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

2 Question: Does P&G have off-balance sheet financing?
Answer: The company does not enter into complex financing structures whose primary purpose is to maintain debt off balance sheet. There are situations, however, where the company enters into normal operating leases and other similar structures for which debt is not required to be reflected on the balance sheet under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Leases for office equipment would be an example.

3 Question: Does your Audit Committee have a Financial Expert?
Answer: Yes, Mr. John F. Smith, Jr., is qualified as an Audit Committee Financial Expert under Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) rules.

4 Question: Will you allow stockholders to submit nominations for directors via the company's proxy statement?
Answer: Shareholders may submit potential candidates for review to the fully independent Governance & Nominating Committee of the Board, which reviews and proposes candidates for Board membership.

5 Question: How do you balance the interests of your different stakeholders (e.g., employees, shareholders, vendors, customers, community members, retirees) in determining company policies, specifically compensation programs? Do you consider these interests at all?
Answer: We strive to consider all relevant constituencies in making corporate decisions. Please see the Sustainability section of PG.com for much more insight into how we think about our corporate responsibilities.
