2 NAMM Antitrust Statement NAMM is committed to strict compliance with the antitrust laws and its obligations under a recent settlement agreement with the FTC. To this end, NAMM has put in place an Antitrust Policy governing all activity during NAMM-sponsored events. NAMM’s Antitrust Policy covers all participants, including speakers, exhibitors and audience members at NAMM Events. The antitrust laws prohibit certain conduct, including: Agreements between or among competitors on price or output. Agreements between or among competitors to divide markets or allocate customers, territories, products, or services; and Boycotts or refusals to deal with any suppliers, customers or competitors. It is important to remember that all of these activities are prohibited regardless of intent. Additionally, it is not necessary to have an explicit agreement to violate the antitrust laws. Circumstantial evidence can suffice. Remember, all NAMM members must make competitive decisions independently of any agreement or understanding with competitors. NAMM Show participants must not exchange competitively sensitive information, including information regarding: wholesale and retail prices, discounts, credit terms, margins or profits, proposed price increases or decreases, price ranges, price formulas, MAP policies and RPM policies. Of course, these prohibitions do not apply to legitimate business discussions between manufacturers and retailers. NAMM and its members could be subject to fines and other serious consequences for failure to comply with NAMM’s obligations under the antitrust laws. Anyone that violates NAMM’s Antitrust Policy may be subject to discipline, including removal from this Event and possible expulsion from the organization. This reminder is not a complete list of activities that could raise antitrust concerns. NAMM’s full Antitrust Policy can be found in your Show Directory and on NAMM’s website. Specific details regarding NAMM’s obligations under the FTC Order are also available on NAMM’s website. Just click on the “Antitrust Compliance” tab on NAMM’s homepage. Please direct questions on antitrust compliance to NAMM’s Antitrust Compliance Officer, Paul Cuomo of Howrey LLP, or to your company’s legal counsel. If you have any questions about antitrust compliance, you should seek legal advice before acting. Thank you for your attention and cooperation with this very important matter.
