Return Reference Explanation
PART I, LINE 3 THE CROHN'S & COLITIS FOUNDATION IS DEPENDENT ON EXPERIENCED AND QUALIFIED LEADERSHIP TO ACHIEVE ITS GOALS. FACTORS SUCH AS ANNUAL GROSS REVENUES, MISSION EXPENDITURES, GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION, TENURE, AND INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE HELP DETERMINE SENIOR LEADERSHIP COMPENSATION. THE PRESIDENT'S COMPENSATION IS DETERMINED ON AN ANNUAL BASIS BY THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD WITH APPROVAL BY THE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS COMMITTEE USING GUIDELINES AND COMPARABLE DATA PROVIDED IN NATIONAL COMPENSATION STUDIES OF EXECUTIVES. THE FOUNDATION HAS AN INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT TO REVIEW AND VALIDATE THE COMPENSATION IT PAYS ITS EMPLOYEES. THE FOUNDATION'S PRACTICE WILL BE TO CONTINUE TO RELY ON BENCHMARKING SURVEYS AND OTHER INDUSTRY DATA COMPARING THE COMPENSATION THE FOUNDATION PAYS TO ITS EMPLOYEES WITH COMPENSATION PAID TO EMPLOYEES OF OTHER NOT FOR PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS OF SIMILAR SIZE. THE ORGANIZATION COMMISSIONED ITS NEXT STUDY IN 2021.
PART I, LINE 4B THE FOUNDATION INSTITUTED A SECTION 457(F) NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PRESIDENT/CEO, MICHAEL OSSO, IN 2018. THE AGREEMENT ALLOWS FOR ANNUAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO BE MADE BASED ON MEETING PRE-DETERMINED OBJECTIVES. IN 2020, THE FOUNDATION CREDITED $50,000 TO THE PRESIDENT/CEO WHICH HAS BEEN REFLECTED IN SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMN C. NO AMOUNT WAS ACTUALLY PAID TO THE CEO DURING THE YEAR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, AS THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT HAVE NOT YET BEEN SATISFIED.
PART I, LINE 7 THE PRESIDENT/CEO'S BONUS AND INCENTIVE COMPENSATION IS PREDICATED OFF OF A SET OF OBJECTIVES THAT ARE DEVELOPED AND UPDATED EACH YEAR. THESE OBJECTIVES INCLUDE RAISING REVENUES, MANAGEMENT OF EXPENSES, DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONS AND RELATED PERFORMANCE, BUILDING OF INFRASTRUCTURE AND MAXIMIZATION OF MISSION EXPENDITURES. RESULTS ARE EVALUATED BY THE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS COMMITTEE AND THE INCENTIVE IS ULTIMATELY DETERMINED BASED ON RATINGS OF PERFORMANCE OF THESE OBJECTIVES. THE FOUNDATION ACKNOWLEDGES ALL OF ITS OTHER EMPLOYEES THROUGH ANNUAL LUMP-SUM INCENTIVE AWARDS BASED ON MEETING INDIVIDUAL, DEPARTMENTAL, AND OVERALL FOUNDATION PERFORMANCE GOALS.
