ALL MIT EMPLOYEES, INCLUDING OFFICERS, TRUSTEES, KEY EMPLOYEES AND HIGHLY COMPENSATED INDIVIDUALS, ARE SUBJECT TO THE SAME WRITTEN TRAVEL POLICY.

Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a Housing allowance or residence for personal use THE MIT PRESIDENT IS REQUIRED TO LIVE IN AN MIT OWNED CAMPUS RESIDENCE AS A CONDITION OF EMPLOYMENT AND AS A CONVENIENCE TO MIT. IRS RULES REQUIRE MIT TO ESTIMATE A VALUE FOR SUCH USE AND TO INCLUDE THE VALUE IN THE PRESIDENT'S TOTAL COMPENSATION AS A "NONTAXABLE BENEFIT" (SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMN (D)). AS CALCULATED PURSUANT TO IRS RULES, THE ESTIMATED VALUE IS $108,000 FOR PRESIDENT REIF IN CALENDAR YEAR 2020.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a Personal services MIT PAYS FOR HOUSEKEEPING OF THE PUBLIC AREAS OF THE PRESIDENT'S HOUSE.

This amount is a credit only and is subject to vesting requirements. President Reif has not yet received any payments from the account. Employees of the MIT Investment Management Company are eligible for incentive compensation based on the performance of the Institute's investments. A portion of their incentive compensation is paid in an initial calendar year, and the remainder is deferred to being paid in the subsequent calendar year contingent on continued service to MITIMCo through specified dates. Incentive compensation actually paid in calendar year 2020 is reflected in Column B(ii). This includes incentive compensation from prior calendar years for which payment was deferred, contingent on continued service. That amount is listed in Column F. Calendar year 2020 incentive compensation for which payment has been deferred contingent on continued service is included in Column C.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 7 Non-fixed payments THE MIT INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT COMPANY PAYS CERTAIN EMPLOYEES NON-FIXED AMOUNTS PURSUANT TO AN INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM THAT BASES COMPENSATION PAYMENTS ON A NUMBER OF FACTORS. THE PRIMARY BASIS FOR INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PAYMENTS IS THE PERFORMANCE OF MIT'S ENDOWMENT RELATIVE TO PEER AND MARKET BENCHMARKS. THIS IS A COMMON PRACTICE IN HIGHER ED ENDOWMENT MANAGEMENT. IN OTHER INSTANCES, MIT MAY OFFER OTHER EMPLOYEES BONUS PAYMENTS FOR OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE FROM TIME TO TIME.
