("NPR") PROVIDES A "GROSS-UP" FOR THE TAX IMPACT OF EMPLOYEE RELOCATIONS, AS WELL AS FOR CERTAIN OTHER TAXABLE BENEFITS RECEIVED. DURING THE TAX REPORTING PERIOD, MR. SMITH RECEIVED A RELOCATION REIMBURSEMENT WHICH WAS GROSSED-UP (TOTAL $63,744) AND MS. LENEHAN RECEIVED A GIFT CERTIFICATE WHICH WAS GROSSED-UP (TOTAL $108). THESE AMOUNTS ARE REFLECTED IN "PART II, COLUMN (B)(III), OTHER REPORTABLE COMPENSATION." NPR IMPUTES INCOME FOR CERTAIN TAXABLE BENEFITS. DURING THE TAX REPORTING PERIOD, MS. FOXWELL AND MR. WOODS EACH RECEIVED $25 GIFT CERTIFICATES. MR. HJELM RECEIVED PROPERTY (TOTAL $600) UPON HIS SEPARATION FROM NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO, INC. THESE AMOUNTS ARE REFLECTED IN "PART II, COLUMN (B)(III), OTHER REPORTABLE COMPENSATION." NPR COVERS CERTAIN COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH LIVING AND WORKING ABROAD FOR CORRESPONDENTS WHEN THE CORRESPONDENTS ARE ON FOREIGN ASSIGNMENT. FOR EXAMPLE: COST OF HOUSING; TRAVEL FOR HOME LEAVE FOR THE CORRESPONDENT, COMPANIONS, AND FAMILY; TUITION EXPENSES FOR CHILDREN WHEN APPLICABLE; VISA COSTS FOR THE CORRESPONDENT AND THEIR FAMILY WHEN APPLICABLE; TAX ASSISTANCE; TAX EQUALIZATION; AND STORAGE OF PERSONAL BELONGINGS. NPR IMPUTES INCOME FOR BENEFITS THAT ARE CONSIDERED TAXABLE UNDER U.S. OR APPLICABLE FOREIGN OR DOMESTIC LOCAL LAW AND PROVIDES A "GROSS-UP" FOR THE TAX IMPACT ON THE CORRESPONDENT OF THESE TAXABLE BENEFITS. FOR FOREIGN CORRESPONDENTS, THE IMPUTED INCOME FOR THE TAXABLE BENEFITS, RELATED TAX GROSS UPS, AND OTHER TAXABLE PAYMENTS AND BENEFITS ASSOCIATED WITH THE INTERNATIONAL ASSIGNMENT ARE REFLECTED IN "PART II, COLUMN (B)(III), OTHER REPORTABLE COMPENSATION," WHEN APPLICABLE. DURING CALENDAR YEAR 2021, NPR PROVIDED LOANS TO A FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT IN SUPPORT OF THE EMPLOYEE'S FOREIGN TAX OBLIGATIONS. THE EMPLOYEE HAS A FORMAL TAX EQUALIZATION AGREEMENT WITH NPR. AS A RESULT, THE RECONCILIATION OF THE EMPLOYEE'S TAX OBLIGATIONS WILL AFFECT THE BREAKDOWN OF THE 2021 SUPPORT BETWEEN THE EMPLOYEE'S AND NPR'S SHARE. MANAGEMENT CURRENTLY BELIEVES THAT MOST OF THE SUPPORT PROVIDED IN 2021 WILL BE NPR'S OBLIGATION, NOT THE EMPLOYEE, AND SHOULD THEREFORE NOT HAVE BEEN TREATED AS COMPENSATION IN 2021. THE EMPLOYEE IS WORKING THROUGH THE FINAL TAX EQUALIZATION CALCULATIONS FOR THEIR INTERNATIONAL ASSIGNMENT. BASED ON THE RESULTS OF THE FINAL RECONCILIATION, NPR WILL DETERMINE HOW THE EMPLOYEE WILL BE REFLECTED, IF AT ALL, IN A FUTURE FORM 990.
