We are the spark of joy in a child's eyes when they make a connection with a living creature. We are the sudden and satisfying "Aha" when you discover something you didn't even know you were looking for. We are the beginning of your lifelong learning adventure. Here at our world-class facility on Lake Michigan's shoreline (part of the largest freshwater system in the world!), a new discovery is always just around the corner, from exploring the underwater wonders of the Reiman Aquarium to launching rockets and hopping aboard the "semi-truck" of the Great Lakes. Bring your whats, whens, and whys; and embark on a path to discovering the answers to all of your curiosities-and unearthing new ones along the way! Our love of science knows no bounds. We empower you to learn virtually anywhere with classroom activities, exciting summer camps, and more. And, as part of the STEM ecosystem, we also touch on disciplines in technology, engineering, and mathematics. 6960849 true true false false false false false false false true true false false true true false true false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 25 0 166 true true true false false false false true true false false false false X 44 44 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false WI X X X BRYAN WUNAR 4147658601 500 N HARBOR DR MILWAUKEE WI 53202 BRYAN WUNAR CEO AND PRESIDENT 55.00 X X 205380 0 26759 CARL SCHOETTEL CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER 55.00 X 137611 0 29432 JAMES KARLS CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER 55.00 X 113384 0 28647 JOHN EMMERICH VP EXHIBITS AND AUDIENCE ENGAGEMENT 55.00 X 108530 0 22769 THERESE SCHNEIDER VP EXTERNAL AFFAIRS 55.00 X 108462 0 5084 TERENCE MCMAHON CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 BRUCE KEYES CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 JOE PFAFF VICE CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 LORI RICHARDS VICE CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 KATIE MULDOON SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 HEATHER HIPKE TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 KRIS BARITT DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KAREN BAUER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ADAM BELLMER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 NICOLE COOK DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CHAD CUNDIFF DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DIRK DEBBINK DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KAREN DETTMER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MUSTAFA EMIR DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOSHUA GIMBEL DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN GOLLER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KARL GOUVERNEUR DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 RUTH HARPER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JAYNE HLADIO DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SHERRY HUSA DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 BRIAN KAGE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KELLEN KASPER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 WARD KOMOROWSKI DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 VARUN LAROYIA DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARY JO LAYDEN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CHAD MELNICK DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARK METZENDORF DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 RYAN MICHALSKI DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN MILLER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 BRUCE MILNE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 TESSA MYERS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 AMIT NANAVATI DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOEL PHILLIPS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ADONICA RANDALL DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 NEIL RIEGELMAN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 PAUL SCHULTZ DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MOLLY SCHWEIGER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JON SIMONS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ROGER SMITH DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JON SPIGEL DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 PHILLIP STOLLENWERK DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 HUSSIEN TALB DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 BENJAMIN WAGNER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 WILL NASGOVITZ ROTATED OFF BOARD DURING 2023 1.00 X 0 0 0 KEVIN SHAFER ROTATED OFF BOARD DURING 2023 1.00 X 0 0 0 673367 0 112691 5 false true false PSAB 13040 W LISBON ROAD BROOKFIELD WI 53005 OFFICE CLEANING 325197 TEAM LOGIC IT W175N11081 STONEWOOD DRIVE GERMANTOWN WI 53022 IT 140364 ERIC THORSEN SCULPTURE GALLERY 570 ELECTRTIC AVE BIGFORK MT 59911 EXHIBIT 125245 3 198700 382981 2621242 97916 3202923 MEMBERSHIP INCOME 713990 766335 0 0 CAMPS 713990 499270 0 0 ADMISSIONS 713990 2248806 0 0 EDUCATIONAL AND SUPPORTING PROGRAMS 713990 721560 0 0 4235971 313592 0 313592 272915 470419 -197504 -197504 -197504 997520 1079133 -81613 -81613 0 0 -81613 235100 198700 170546 64554 0 64554 54767 20342 34425 34425 MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT CATERING 459420 -67035 0 -67035 0 -67035 7505313 4235971 -230114 296533 673367 196035 304018 173314 2902833 2121106 554645 227082 93224 60596 22374 10254 435438 240589 151145 43704 265222 177607 59324 28291 131 0 131 0 21205 0 21205 0 16482 0 16482 0 423402 180433 236493 6476 54739 0 54207 532 579217 434413 144804 0 25730 9795 11590 4345 61050 36630 24420 0 2509658 2043827 465831 0 304293 180882 116445 6966 MAINTENANCE 897908 669636 228272 0 SUPPLIES 417087 308736 80462 27889 EXHIBIT SUPPLIES AND PROGRAMS 258324 258324 0 0 EVENTS 35521 34926 595 0 -1354367 7314 -1363072 1391 8620464 6960849 1129371 530244 4976790 1753220 1790383 5603211 1803201 1650916 112612 262184 137267 127521 89477139 51094702 40625167 38382437 887026 1003257 1078266 1646413 51410712 50429159 345749 586010 363455 434888 300000 0 1673733 1358963 0 8475 2682937 2388336 X 43997172 43738500 4730603 4302323 48727775 48040823 51410712 50429159 -1115151 428199 X false true X true false X 0 0 5601009 5046159 5980290 3386243 3202923 23216624 3443381 716594 1491171 3405489 4235971 13292606 0 0 9044390 5762753 7471461 6791732 7438894 36509230 1005000 129197 131041 305577 268850 1839665 759522 103137 541466 797296 791488 2992909 1764522 232334 672507 1102873 1060338 4832574 31676656 298430 100879 103432 65748 231979 800468 298430 100879 103432 65748 231979 800468 0 0 342941 157450 316482 312125 235100 1364098 38673796 0.81910 0.79890 0.02070 0.01710 X Pt III Ln 12 Other Income Part III, Line 12 Description: SPECIAL EVENTS 2019: 342941. 2020: 157450. 2021: 316482. 2022: 312125. 2023: 235100.

Pt VI, Line 15a Discovery World has established a Compensation Committee, a sub-committee of the Governance Committee, to ensure the Discovery World Board determines the adequacy and reasonableness of the total compensation paid to the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and other Officers or Key Employees. The Committee is chaired by a Discovery World Board Director and includes a minimum of three additional Board Directors and/or non-Director Members who bring the experience and expertise required for the work of the committee. The committee is provided staff support by the Discovery World Director of Human Resources. The Committee meets at least bi-annually and as often as its chair or a majority of its members deems necessary or appropriate, either in person, telephonically or electronically, and at such times, places and manner as its chair and chair's staff may determine. The Committee conducts an annual review of the CEO's performance, reviews market comparability data to assure reasonableness of total compensation ranges, and recommends the CEO compensation package to the Executive Committee for further action. The Committee produces a written report at the conclusion of each meeting, which includes an attendance record, a copy of the agenda and a full report of Committee discussions with documented recommendations and decisions.
