Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 Intended uses of endowment fundsThe Opera's endowment is comprised of donor-restricted endowment funds. Related net assets are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. The Opera's Board of Directors has approved a spending policy which allows for the transfer of 5% of the average of the market values of the trailing twelve quarter balance of the managed portfolio at December 31 of the previous fiscal year, including endowment balances, to be used to support operations and fund debt service. The spending rate approximates the return objective of the fund allowing for the preservation of purchasing power and growth of the managed portfolio through investment returns in excess of the objective and new gifts.
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnoteThe Opera is exempt from federal income taxes under the provisions of Section 501(C)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Opera has concluded there were no material uncertain tax positions nor does the Opera expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next 12 months. The Opera does not have nor does it anticipate any interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions in interest and income tax expense as of June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020. There are no ongoing federal, state or local audits.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b Review of form 990 by governing bodyThe Lyric Opera of Chicago Form 990 and Supplemental Schedules are prepared and reviewed by Lyric staff. A review is then performed by our Tax Advisor. The Form 990 and supplemental schedules are provided to the full Lyric Opera Audit Committee, along with the appropriate members of Lyric Opera staff, for their review prior to a meeting of the full audit committee where the Tax Advisor oversees the discussion and review of the Form 990. The audit committee then approves the filings prior to them being filed with the IRS.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policyLyric Opera maintains a Conflict of Interest Policy which applies to all Directors, officers of auxiliary organizations authorized by the Opera, as well as senior management and other designated members of the staff. The Policy requires each person to whom the policy applies to complete an annual disclosure questionnaire which identifies a business or financial interest of that person which is planning to engage in a business transaction with the Opera, or has engaged in a business transaction with the Opera during the preceding year. The Policy forbids such individuals from voting on or using their personal influence in connection with such transactions. In the event the Opera does conduct business with a related party, the financial terms of those relationships are reported annually to the Audit Committee, whose members must be independent per the terms of its charter. The Opera requires each full-time non-union employee to conduct themselves in accordance with the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, approved by the Opera's Board of Directors, and to sign an annual statement acknowledging their understanding of this Code.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management officialThe process of determining compensation of the organization's General Director included the following: The General Director was hired in April 2011 with a 5 year contract, through June 30, 2016. The Compensation Committee, comprised of seven independent Board members and two ex-officio members, was charged under their charter with the responsibility to review and establish objectives relevant to the General Director's compensation, evaluate the General Director's performance in light of those objectives, and recommend to the Executive Committee the General Director's compensation level based on this evaluation. In 2016, the General Director (now called the General Director, President and Chief Executive Officer) was offered a new five-year contract, starting July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2021. On June 28, 2021, the Compensation Committee renewed the General Director, President, and CEO contract for an additional 5 year term ending June 30, 2026. The base salary offered in the new contract was benchmarked against comparable opera and performing arts companies and again approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b Process to establish compensation of other employeesThe process of determining compensation of other officers or key employees (anyone earning more than $150,000) included the following: 1) The Compensation Committee, made up of seven independent Board members and two ex-officio members, reviewed the fiscal 2021 compensation arrangements in June 2020. This process is done annually. 2) Lyric salary bands are determined in consultation with an independent consultant on a periodic basis who, leveraging comparability data and benchmark comparisons from peer industry organizations based on size of revenue and operating budget as well as scope of management responsibility, sets salary bands for each of Lyric's eight staff job levels. 3) Salaries for all highly compensated employees with salaries over $150,000 per year must fall within their respective salary bands. 4) Recommendations, as well as any deliberation, were documented in the Compensation Committee minutes. A report to the Board with respect to compensation recommendation was reflected in the Board meeting minutes.
