| Explanation | PLOS HAS RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FROM THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE AND THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA THAT IT QUALIFIES FOR TAX-EXEMPT STATUS UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND SECTION 27301D OF THE CALIFORNIA REVENUE AND TAXATION CODE. THE EXEMPTIONS ARE SUBJECT TO PERIODIC REVIEW BY THE FEDERAL AND STATE TAXING AUTHORITIES, AND MANAGEMENT IS CONFIDENT THAT PLOS CONTINUES TO SATISFY ALL FEDERAL AND STATE STATUTES IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR CONTINUED TAX EXEMPTION STATUS. PLOS MAY PERIODICALLY RECEIVE UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME (SUCH AS ADVERTISING INCOME, ETC.) REQUIRING PLOS TO FILE SEPARATE TAX RETURNS UNDER FEDERAL AND STATE STATUTES. PLOS ALSO HAS CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS REQUIRING THE PAYMENT OF ADDITIONAL EMPLOYER TAXES TO HM REVENUE AND CUSTOMS IN THE U.K. UNDER SUCH CONDITIONS, PLOS CALCULATES AND ACCRUES THE APPLICABLE TAXES. PLOS IS NOT SUBJECT TO EXAMINATION BY TAXING AUTHORITIES, NOR WAS FOR ANY PRIOR YEARS. THE GERMAN SUBSIDIARY, PLOS GMBH, IS NOT AN EXEMPT ORGANIZATION AND IS SUBJECT TO EMPLOYER TAXES, CORPORATE INCOME TAX FILINGS, AND PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS TO THE AUTHORITIES IN GERMANY. PLOS CONSULTS WITH AN AGENT, MAZARS GMBH AND CO. KG, IN GERMANY TO TIMELY PREPARE AND FILE THE RETURNS. PLOS ASSESSES TAX POSITIONS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN AGAINST MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT RECOGNITION THRESHOLD AND MEASUREMENT ATTRIBUTES FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENT RECOGNITION. BASED ON AN ANALYSIS PREPARED BY PLOS, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT PLOS BELIEVES THAT IT HAS APPROPRIATE SUPPORT FOR ANY TAX POSITIONS TAKEN, AND AS SUCH, DOES NOT HAVE ANY UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS THAT ARE MATERIAL TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. | ExplanationTxt |

| PART I, LINE 1 | PLOS (PUBLIC LIBRARY OF SCIENCE) IS A NONPROFIT LEADING A TRANSFORMATION IN RESEARCH COMMUNICATION. WE PUBLISH A SUITE OF OPEN ACCESS JOURNALS, AND WORK ALONGSIDE RESEARCH COMMUNITIES TO BREAK DOWN BARRIERS IN MAKING RESEARCH COMMUNICATION MORE OPEN, EFFECTIVE, AND FAIR. WE HAVE BEEN BREAKING BOUNDARIES SINCE OUR FOUNDING IN 2001. PLOS JOURNALS PROPELLED THE MOVEMENT FOR OA ALTERNATIVES TO SUBSCRIPTION JOURNALS. WE ESTABLISHED THE FIRST MULTI-DISCIPLINARY PUBLICATION INCLUSIVE OF ALL EXCELLENT RESEARCH REGARDLESS OF NOVELTY OR IMPACT AND DEMONSTRATED THE IMPORTANCE OF OPEN DATA AVAILABILITY. WE CONTINUE TO ADVOCATE FOR AND PUSH THE BOUNDARIES OF OPEN SCIENCE IN ORDER TO STRENGTHEN THE FOUNDATION OF KNOWLEDGE FROM WHICH WE ALL ADVANCE. PLOS' OPEN ACCESS JOURNALS COVER ALL AREAS OF SCIENCE, MEDICINE AND RELATED SOCIAL SCIENCES. RIGOROUSLY REPORTED, PEER REVIEWED, AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE WITHOUT RESTRICTIONS, THE JOURNALS PROMOTE THE WIDEST READERSHIP AND IMPACT POSSIBLE. WE STRIVE TO IMPLEMENT POLICIES AND INNOVATIONS THAT PROMOTE REPRODUCIBILITY, CREDIT, AND ACCOUNTABILITY TO FOSTER A CULTURE OF OPEN SCIENCE. OUR WORK IN THESE AREAS IS SUPPORTED BY THE EFFORTS OF A DIVERSE, INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCHERS FROM HUNDREDS OF RESEARCH AREAS WHO PUBLISH AND REVIEW RIGOROUS RESEARCH OF ALL TYPES. SINCE 2003, PLOS HAS PUBLISHED MORE THAN 300,000 RESEARCH ARTICLES. IN 2023 ALONE PLOS PUBLISHED MORE THAN 18,000 RESEARCH ARTICLES DOCUMENTING THE OBSERVATIONS AND DISCOVERIES OF A DIVERSE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY. THOUSANDS OF RESEARCHERS ACROSS THE GLOBE DEDICATED THEIR TIME AS ACADEMIC EDITORS AND REVIEWERS TO BRINGING THIS WORK TO THE PUBLIC. |
