Booking Holdings Inc.

The proposal requests an annual report, posted on the Company’s website and presented to the Board, describing corporate policies and procedures governing political contributions or expenditures and listing monetary and non-monetary contributions and expenditures (direct and indirect) used to influence elections, including recipient identities and amounts. The supporting statement argues that such transparency mitigates reputational and financial risks from undisclosed political spending, especially where funds flow through trade associations, Super PACs, 527s, or 501(c)(4) organizations. Proponents cite investor confidence data and point to peer companies that already disclose electoral spending. The proposal excludes general lobbying spending from its scope.

This proposal asks the Board to prepare and disclose a report (omitting proprietary information) explaining how the Board identifies, assesses, and responds to human-rights-related risks associated with the Company’s operations, relationships, or activities connected to Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. The proponent cites international legal findings and opinions (including UNSCR 2334 and the ICJ Advisory Opinion), ongoing criminal complaints in the Netherlands, competitor actions, and reputational and legal risks as the rationale for the request. The request emphasizes Board‑level oversight, gaps in oversight, and the material financial, operational, and reputational consequences of such activities. The report is asked to be provided at reasonable cost and made publicly available to shareholders.
