| PART I, LINE 1A | BLUE GRASS WILL REIMBURSE AN EMPLOYEE FOR UP TO $20 PER MONTH FOR A HEALTH CLUB MEMBERSHIP IN COMPLIANCE WITH ITS WELLNESS PROGRAM. |
| PART II | FORMER DIRECTOR COMPENSATION PAID IN 2024 INCLUDES DISTRIBUTIONS FROM A DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN. UNDER A 457(B) PLAN SPONSORED BY BLUE GRASS ENERGY, DIRECTORS ARE ELIGIBLE TO ELECT TO FORGO COMPENSATION IN THE YEAR IT IS EARNED AND RECEIVE THIS COMPENSATION LATER AS A RETIREMENT BENEFIT. CONTRIBUTIONS TO BLUE GRASS ENERGY'S 457(B) PLAN WERE ONLY MADE FROM THE FORMER DIRECTOR'S NORMAL WAGES, NOT BY BLUE GRASS ENERGY ITSELF, AND THEREFORE DID NOT INCREASE COOPERATIVE EXPENSES. WHEN A DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN IS UTILIZED AND CORRECTLY REPORTED, IT WILL BE REFLECTED ON THE 990 TWICE, IN BOTH THE YEAR IT IS EARNED AND THE YEAR IT IS DISTRIBUTED. |
