B. Process for project evaluation & selection Autodesk has established a Sustainability Finance Working Group, comprising members from the Finance Division (including Treasury, Accounting, Financial Planning & Analysis and Investor Relations teams), and members of other departments including Sustainability, Law, and Internal Audit. The Sustainability Finance Working Group will: • Periodically review and approve recommendations regarding project eligibility and alignment with the Eligible Criteria as established in this Framework; and • Establish and track allocations of net proceeds among Eligible Projects In addition, we have established processes to monitor and mitigate environmental and/or social risks within our operations. The Sustainability Finance Working Group will seek to ensure alignment of all Eligible Projects that receive allocations with these risk‑manage‑ ment protocols. C. Management of proceeds The Finance department will track the amount of net proceeds from the issuance of any Sustainability Financing allocated to Eligible Projects. Pending allocation, an amount equal to the net proceeds from the issuance of any Sustainability Financing may be held in accordance with our internal investment policy and temporarily invested in cash, cash equivalents, and/or high‑quality marketable securities, or used to repay other borrowings. Any future Sustainability Financing issued pursuant to this framework would be expected to reach full allocation within 24‑36 months from the date of issuance. Any payment of principal and interest on any Sustainability Financing will be made from our general cor‑ porate account and will not be linked to the performance of any Eligible Project. D. Future reporting Beginning within one year from the issuance of any Sustainability Bonds, and annually until full allocation of the net proceeds from the issuance of any Sustainability Bonds, we will publish a Sustainability Bond Update report on our website that will include: · The amount of net proceeds that have been allocated to Eligible Projects either individually or by category; · The list of Eligible Project categories with a selection of brief descriptions of individual projects, subject to confidentiality and competitive considerations; · Expected and/or realized impact metrics (further discussed below), where feasible; and · The outstanding amount of net proceeds yet to be allocated to Eligible Projects at the end of the reporting period.
