Explanation
PART I, LINE 1A
BUSINESS CLASS OR CHARTER TRAVEL - SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND TRUSTEES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR BUSINESS CLASS SEATS WHEN TRAVELING ON AUTHORIZED BUSINESS. NO AMOUNT IS REPORTED AS TAXABLE INCOME FOR BUSINESS TRAVEL. THE INSTITUTION'S WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY, ACORN LEASING, LLC, OWNS A CORPORATE AIRCRAFT TO FACILITATE THE BUSINESS TRAVEL OF SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND TRUSTEES. THE BOARD HAS ADOPTED A POLICY THAT PROHIBITS ANY NON-BUSINESS USE OF THE AIRCRAFT. WHEN APPLICABLE, IMPUTED INCOME HAS BEEN REPORTED AS TAXABLE COMPENSATION FOR ANY COMPANIONS OF LISTED PERSONS WHO ARE NOT TRAVELING FOR A BUSINESS PURPOSE. TRAVEL FOR COMPANIONS- TO FACILITATE THE ABILITY OF THE PRESIDENT AND TRUSTEES TO CONDUCT BUSINESS AND PARTICIPATE IN THE ACTIVITIES OF THE UNIVERSITY, TRAVEL FOR COMPANIONS/MINOR CHILDREN HAS BEEN PROVIDED AT TIMES. IN SUCH CASES, THE COST OF THE FLIGHT (IF THE TRAVEL WAS VIA COMMERCIAL CARRIER) OR THE APPROPRIATE AMOUNT OF IMPUTED INCOME (PURSUANT TO TAX REGULATIONS REGARDING PERSONAL USE OF CORPORATE AIRCRAFT) HAS BEEN TREATED AS A TAXABLE BENEFIT AND REPORTED AS COMPENSATION. THE BENEFIT WAS PROVIDED DUE TO EXTENSIVE TRAVEL BEING REQUIRED BETWEEN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS (SAVANNAH, ATLANTA, LACOSTE, FRANCE AND HONG KONG). HOUSING ALLOWANCE - AS IS STANDARD PRACTICE FOR UNIVERSITIES, THE PRESIDENT IS PROVIDED A RESIDENCE IN SAVANNAH THAT IS FREQUENTLY USED FOR BUSINESS AND/OR BUSINESS FUNCTIONS (I.E. MEETINGS, RECEPTIONS, DINNERS WITH GUESTS AND DONORS, ETC.). NO AMOUNT HAS BEEN INCLUDED IN THE PRESIDENT'S TAXABLE INCOME FOR USE OF THE PROPERTY. SINCE NOVEMBER 2014, THE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN PROVIDED A HOUSING ALLOWANCE IN CONNECTION WITH HER PERSONAL RESIDENCE IN THE ATLANTA AREA. THE HOUSING ALLOWANCE IS TREATED AS TAXABLE WAGES AND IS INCLUDED IN COLUMN (B) OF PART VII OF THIS FORM 990 AND IN COLUMN (B) (III) OF SCHEDULE J PART II.
PART I, LINES 4A-B
THE PRESIDENT BEGAN A NEW AGREEMENT STARTING JULY 1, 2019 WHEREBY SHE WILL, ON EACH JUNE 30TH OF HER CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT DURING THE TERM OF THE AGREEMENT, VEST IN A SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT BENEFIT EQUAL TO THE PRESENT VALUE OF A LIFE ANNUITY THAT WILL PROVIDE AN ANNUAL BENEFIT EQUAL TO TWO PERCENT (2%) OF HER BASE SALARY IN EFFECT ON THE APPLICABLE JUNE 30TH. EACH SUCH VESTED SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFIT SHALL BE PAID TO THE PRESIDENT IN A LUMP SUM WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER THE APPLICABLE JUNE 30TH.
PART I, LINE 7
THE PRESIDENT'S TOTAL COMPENSATION (BASE PAY AND BONUSES), EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT COMPENSATION (BASE PAY AND BONUSES) AND RELATED PARTY COMPENSATION (BASE PAY AND BONUSES) ARE DETERMINED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES IN CONJUNCTION WITH AN INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTING FIRM (AON). FOR ALL OTHERS LISTED, COMPENSATION IS DETERMINED IN THE SOLE DISCRETION OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE.
PART I, QUESTION 3
THE INSTITUTION COMPLIES WITH THE PROCEDURES AND STANDARDS SET FORTH IN THE IRS REGULATIONS TO RECEIVE THE 'REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS' WITH RESPECT TO THE TOTAL COMPENSATION PAID TO THE PRESIDENT. A COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD CONDUCTS AN ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REVIEW OF THE PRESIDENT'S SALARY AND BONUS. ANY AND ALL DECISIONS ARE BASED ON: A) A DOCUMENTED COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY AND STRATEGY; B) A DETAILED ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REVIEW ON BOTH JOB PERFORMANCE AND THE "BALANCED SCORECARD" OF THE RESULTS OF THE INSTITUTION AND SUBSIDIARIES; AND C) DETAILED AND COMPREHENSIVE MARKET DATA WHICH CONSIDERS ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE "SIMILARLY SITUATED." AN INDEPENDENT CONSULTING FIRM THAT SPECIALIZES IN BENEFITS AND COMPENSATION PROVIDES TOTAL COMPENSATION MARKET VALUATIONS VIA A COMPENSATION STUDY THAT INCLUDES CONSIDERATION OF THE TOTAL COMPENSATION PAID BY COMPARABLE INSTITUTIONS. THE COMPENSATION EXPERT PROVIDES A WRITTEN OPINION ON THE REASONABLENESS OF TOTAL COMPENSATION. THE FULL BOARD RECEIVES THE DETAILED PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND THE COMPENSATION MARKET ANALYSIS AND WRITTEN OPINION FROM THE INDEPENDENT CONSULTING FIRM, CONSIDERS THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE COMMITTEE, AND VOTES ON THE PRESIDENT'S COMPENSATION. THIS PRACTICE ALSO INCLUDES A MARKET ANALYSIS OF COMPENSATION PAID TO SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND ANY INDIVIDUAL RELATED TO A MEMBER OF SENIOR MANAGEMENT OR THE BOARD.
