12. Specific lobbying issues (current and anticipated)
Issues related to American business promotion and connection in Myanmar. Because the Government of Myanmar imposes currency controls that prevent AMCHAM Myanmar from using third-country bank accounts to conduct foreign exchange transactions, AMCHAM Myanmars payments for government relations services in the United States are made through Misfit Technologies Limited, a U.S. sister entity Misfit Co., Ltd. which is a member of AMCHAM Myanmar. AMCHAM Myanmar remains, however, the sole entity actively participating in the planning, supervision, or control of lobbying activities by registrant.
