Explanation
PART I, LINE 4B
THE ORGANIZATION HAS A NON-QUALIFIED SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN (SERP) FOR ITS CEO, JEFF TRANDAHL. THIS CONTRIBUTION IS AN UNVESTED EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTION. SERP INTERESTS ARE FORFEITED BY THE PARTICIPANT IF THE PARTICIPANT VOLUNTARILY TERMINATES EMPLOYMENT PRIOR TO THE VESTING DATES SPECIFIED UNDER THE SERP. SERP INTERESTS ARE HELD IN A TRUST SUBJECT TO THE CLAIMS OF THE FOUNDATION'S BANKRUPTCY CREDITORS. IN THE EVENT OF A FOUNDATION BANKRUPTCY, PARTICIPANTS WOULD BECOME GENERAL UNSECURED CREDITORS OF THE FOUNDATION. THE SERP IS A NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN, WHICH MEANS THAT PARTICIPANTS DO NOT RECEIVE THE TAX BENEFITS AVAILABLE TO PARTICIPANTS IN TAX QUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLANS. FOR EXAMPLE, UNDER CURRENT LAW, INTERESTS UNDER THOSE ARRANGEMENTS ARE REPORTABLE AS TAXABLE COMPENSATION WHEN THEY BECOME VESTED, EVEN IF THOSE AMOUNTS ARE NOT YET PAYABLE TO THE PARTICIPANT (AND EVEN IF THOSE AMOUNTS ARE NEVER PAID TO THE PARTICIPANT). THE SERP'S DESIGN WAS REVIEWED AND OPINED UPON AS REASONABLE BY AN INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT. SERP CONTRIBUTION AMOUNTS WERE DETERMINED BY AN INDEPENDENT ACTUARY. THE SERP WAS APPROVED BY THE HUMAN RESOURCES/COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE FOUNDATION'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS. SCHEDULE J, PART II, LINE 1, COLUMN C: RETIREMENT AND OTHER DEFERRED COMPENSATION OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR/CEO CONSISTS OF THE FOLLOWING: 1. EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTION TO THE 403B AND 457 F PLANS, WHICH ARE BASED ON THE SAME EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTION FORMULA APPLICABLE TO ALL ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES 2. THE SERP CONTRIBUTION AS EXPLAINED ABOVE IN SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 4B
PART I, LINE 7
BONUSES ARE CONSIDERED IN THE INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION STUDIES AND ARE USUALLY PAID WITHIN A FIXED RANGE. BONUSES PAID ARE REPORTED IN SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMN B (II). THIS PLAN IS DESIGNED TO RECOGNIZE PERFORMANCE THAT ATTAINS PREVIOUS YEAR GOALS AND REWARDS PERFORMANCE THAT SIGNIFICANTLY EXCEEDS STATED GOALS.
