Part III
Supplemental Information
Provide the information, explanation, or descriptions required for Part I, lines 1a, 1b, 3, 4a, 4b, 4c, 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b, 7, and 8, and for Part II. Also complete this part for any additional information.
Return Reference Explanation
PART I, LINE 1A CERTAIN ITEMS LISTED ON LINE 1A ARE PROVIDED BY RELATED ORGANIZATIONS. PART I, LINE 3: THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE SANFORD BOARD OF TRUSTEES DIRECTLY ENGAGES A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTING FIRM ANNUALLY TO REVIEW THE TOTAL COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS OF THE OFFICERS AND EXECUTIVES OF THE ORGANIZATION, INCLUDING THE CEO, AND TO REPORT THE FINDINGS TO THEM FOR DELIBERATION AND ACTION. THE DELIBERATIONS AND ACTIONS ARE RECORDED IN THE MINUTES OF THE SANFORD BOARD OF TRUSTEES. THE MOST RECENT STUDY WAS COMPLETED IN 2020.
PART I, LINES 4A-B LINA 4A - SEVERANCE OR CHANGE OF CONTROL UPON HIRE OR PROMOTION, SELECT OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES SIGN AN EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE AGREEMENT (THE "AGREEMENT"). THE AGREEMENT PROVIDES THAT THE EXECUTIVE WILL RECEIVE A MULTIPLE OF HIS OR HER SALARY (BASED ON YEARS OF SERVICE OR POSITION) AS A PAYMENT IN THE EVENT OF A DEFINED SEPARATION EVENT, WHICH CAN INCLUDE AN INVOLUNTARY SEPARATION OR AN EMPLOYEE VOLUNTARILY LEAVING FOR A DEFINED CONTRACTUAL REASON. FINAL SEPARATION PAYMENTS MIGHT VARY FROM THE AMOUNT PROVIDED IN THE AGREEMENT AS A RESULT OF NEGOTIATIONS SURROUNDING EARLY RETIREMENTS AND POST-SEPARATION OBLIGATIONS AND INCENTIVES (THE "SEPARATION" PAYMENT). LINE 4B - SUPPLEMENTAL NONQUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLAN PAYMENTS - DEFINED BENEFIT SERP ANNUITY PLAN IN 1983, A DEFINED BENEFIT SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN ("DB SERP ANNUITY PLAN") WAS ESTABLISHED. THE DB SERP ANNUITY PLAN PROVIDED LIFETIME ANNUITY PAYMENTS TO PLAN PARTICIPANTS BASED ON THEIR HISTORICAL SALARY AND YEARS OF SERVICE. THE ANNUITY BENEFIT WAS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE A SIMILAR BENEFIT AS PROVIDED BY THE QUALIFIED DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN. AS OF 2020, KELBY KRABBENHOFT AND BILL MARLETTE, WITH 24 AND 31 YEARS OF SERVICE RESPECTIVELY, WERE THE ONLY TWO REMAINING PARTICIPANTS. IN NOVEMBER 2020, THE SANFORD BOARD OF TRUSTEES MADE THE DECISION TO ACCELERATE TERMINATION OF THE DB SERP ANNUITY PLAN TO LIMIT FUTURE FINANCIAL LIABILITY AND BECAUSE SANFORD DOES NOT INTEND TO USE AN AVERAGE PAY/ANNUITY SUPPLEMENTAL STRUCTURE ON A GO FORWARD BASIS. KELBY KRABBENHOFT'S AND BILL MARLETTE'S BENEFIT HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY ACCRUED FOR AND DISCLOSED AS RETIREMENT AND OTHER DEFERRED COMPENSATION ON HISTORICAL 990 FORMS. AS A RESULT OF THE PLAN TERMINATION, THE TOTAL BENEFIT WAS VESTED AND REPORTABLE AS TAXABLE INCOME ON THE PLAN PARTICIPANTS' W-2S IN 2020. LINE 4B - SUPPLEMENTAL NONQUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLAN PAYMENTS - DEFINED BENEFIT SERP LUMP SUM PLANS AS ALSO REQUIRED BY PLAN TERMINATION RULES, SANFORD TERMINATED ALL OTHER DEFINED BENEFIT SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLANS. KELBY KRABBENHOFT PARTICIPATED IN A DB SERP LUMP SUM PLAN TIED TO RETENTION AND HIS SUCCESSION PLAN. MARK LUNDEEN PARTICIPATED IN A SEPARATE DB SERP LUMP SUM PLAN TIED TO RETENTION. LINE 4B - SUPPLEMENTAL NONQUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLAN PAYMENTS - DEFINED CONTRIBUTION SERP PLAN SANFORD SPONSORS A DEFINED CONTRIBUTION SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN ("DC SERP PLAN") FOR SELECT OFFICERS OR KEY EMPLOYEES. THE DC SERP PLAN PROVIDES THAT SANFORD WILL MAKE DISCRETIONARY CONTRIBUTIONS INTO PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS. CERTAIN OF THE BELOW OFFICERS OR KEY EMPLOYEES WERE PAID AS A RESULT OF A VESTING EVENT WHICH INCLUDE REACHING A PRE-ESTABLISHED RETIREMENT AGE OR A DEFINED SEPARATION EVENT. LINES 4A AND 4B - PAYMENTS THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUALS RECEIVED SEVERANCE OR CHANGE OF CONTROL PAYMENTS AND/OR SUPPLEMENTAL NONQUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLAN PAYMENTS: MARK LUNDEEN, 40 YEARS OF SERVICE: DB SERP LUMP SUM PLAN $1,000,000 KELBY KRABBENHOFT, 24 YEARS OF SERVICE: SEPARATION $15,000,000 DB SERP ANNUITY AND LUMP SUM PLANS $29,353,819 TOTAL $44,353,819 BILL GASSEN III, 9 YEARS OF SERVICE: RETENTION PLAN AGREEMENT $1,100,000 JOANN KUNKEL, 28 YEARS OF SERVICE: SEPARATION $6,498,707 DC SERP PLAN $348,731 TOTAL $6,847,438 BILL MARLETTE, 31 YEARS OF SERVICE: DB SERP ANNUITY PLAN $5,903,232 MICAH ABERSON, 6 YEARS OF SERVICE: RETENTION PLAN AGREEMENT $1,100,000
