The term "immediate family member" of a person means the person’s child, stepchild, parent, stepparent, spouse, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in- law and any other person (other than a tenant or employee) sharing the household of the specified person. Immediate family members are: (1) only those persons who are currently related to the person (e.g., a person who is divorced from a person's daughter would no longer be a son-in-law of that person); and (2) only those persons who are related by blood or step relationship to the person or his or her spouse (e.g., the sister of a person's spouse is considered a sister-in-law; the sister’s spouse, however, is not considered an in-law).

(a) If the answer is "Yes," please provide details below: *

(b) Since January 1, 2020, have you or an Immediate Family Member had a direct or material indirect business relationship with PwC (including, for example, in your personal capacity using PwC for the preparation of tax returns)? *

(c) FOR CANDIDATES APPLYING TO AN IAR or IFOR POSITION (as defined below): Since January 1, 2020, have you or an Immediate Family Member had a Close Personal Relationship with an employee, partner, or principal of PwC? *

IAR: An accounting role is a role in which a person is in a position to, or does, exercise more than minimal influence over the contents of the accounting records or over anyone who prepares the accounting records, such as individuals in clerical positions responsible for accounting records (e.g., payroll, accounts payable, accounts receivable, purchasing, sales) as well as individuals who report to people in financial reporting oversight roles (assistant controller, assistant treasurer, manager of internal audit, manager of financial reporting). Individuals in a financial reporting oversight role are also in an accounting role.

IFOR: A financial reporting oversight role is a role in which a person is in a position to, or does, exercise influence over the contents of the financial statements or related information (such as management's discussion and analysis) to be filed with the SEC, or over anyone who prepares them through, for example, direct responsibility or oversight of those persons. Examples of such position are when the person is a member of the board of directors or similar management or governing body, chief executive officer, president, chief financial officer, chief operating officer, general counsel, chief accounting officer, controller, director of internal audit, director of financial reporting, treasurer, director of tax, or any equivalent position.

Close Personal Relationship: A relationship that involves two individuals who (i) are members of the same family; (ii) share an intimate, sexual encounter or ongoing romantic or intimate relationship; (iii) share an ongoing friendship which demonstrates an emotional connection that supersedes the working, collegial relationship as the connection between two people and may cause others to feel excluded and question their objectivity, independence of judgment and fairness; or (iv) provide each other with domestic support, financial support or loan, employment or volunteer work.

Are you related to or in a close personal relationship with anyone currently employed at Assured Guaranty? (An answer of “Yes” will not automatically disqualify you from the position for which you are applying.) *
