RSF'S FIRST INITIATIVE IS TO BUILD BROADCAST MEDIA CENTERS, NAMED SEACREST STUDIOS, WITHIN PEDIATRIC HOSPITALS FOR PATIENTS TO EXPLORE THE CREATIVE REALMS OF RADIO, TELEVISION, AND NEW MEDIA. THE AIM OF SEACREST STUDIOS IS TO CONTRIBUTE POSITIVELY TO THE HEALING PROCESS FOR CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES DURING THEIR STAY BY DEVELOPING THESE CENTERS TO BRING AN UPLIFTING SPIRIT TO THE HOSPITAL COMMUNITY. WE BELIEVE ACCESS TO MULTIMEDIA EXPERIENCES WILL BRING PATIENTS EXCITING AND STIMULATING ADVENTURES AND ENCOURAGE OPTIMISTIC THOUGHTS DURING TREATMENT. 0 0 1738561 1287813 THE RYAN SEACREST FOUNDATION'S FIRST INITIATIVE IS TO BUILD BROADCAST MEDIA CENTERS, NAMED SEACREST STUDIOS, WITHIN PEDIATRIC HOSPITALS FOR PATIENTS TO EXPLORE THE CREATIVE REALMS OF RADIO, TELEVISION AND NEW MEDIA.

WE BELIEVE ACCESS TO MULTIMEDIA EXPERIENCES WILL BRING PATIENTS EXCITING AND STIMULATING ADVENTURES AND ENCOURAGE OPTIMISTIC THOUGHTS DURING TREATMENT. THE FOUNDATION BRINGS SPECIAL GUESTS AND CELEBRITIES TO THE BROADCAST MEDIA CENTERS FOR PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES TO MEET, INTERVIEW AND WATCH PERFORM. SINCE THE INCEPTION OF THE FOUNDATION, OVER 1,000 CELEBRITY GUESTS HAVE VISITED THE 11 SEACREST STUDIOS. IN ADDITION TO CELEBRITY VISITS, THE PROGRAMMING OF EACH STUDIO ALLOWS PATIENTS TO PLAY GAMES, ENGAGE IN EDUCATIONAL SHOWS, HOST THEIR OWN RADIO AND TV SHOWS, PLUS MUCH MORE. PATIENTS HAVE THE ABILITY TO COME DOWN TO THE STUDIO TO PARTICIPATE OR THEY CAN WATCH THE PROGRAMMING FROM THE TV IN THEIR ROOM VIA A CLOSED-CIRCUIT NETWORK. THE FOUNDATION ALSO HAS CREATED THE ABILITY TO INTERCONNECT ALL OF THE SEACREST STUDIOS, SO PROGRAMMING CAN BE SHARED WITH HOSPITALS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY - A WIDELY USED FEATURE DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. IN 2020, THE FOUNDATION LAUNCHED ITS ELEVENTH SEACREST STUDIO AT ORLANDO HEALTH ARNOLD PALMER HOSPITAL FOR CHILDREN. THE 1,200-SQUARE-FOOT, GLASS-ENCASED STUDIO IS LOCATED ON THE FIRST FLOOR OF ORLANDO HEALTH ARNOLD PALMER BY THE MAIN ATRIUM, ALLOWING PATIENTS AND VISITORS TO SEE PRODUCTION ACTIVITIES INSIDE. IN EARLY MARCH, RSF PIVOTED DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. THROUGHOUT THE GLOBAL CRISIS, ALL STUDIOS REMAINED OPEN DUE TO ONGOING SUPPORT VIA TECHNOLOGY PURCHASES AND UPGRADES FROM THE FOUNDATION. THESE PURCHASES ENSURED THE SUCCESS OF VIRTUAL VISITS AND PROGRAMMING. 2020 SAW 24 IN-PERSON TALENT VISITS FROM JANUARY TO MARCH, AND 202 RSF BOOKED VIRTUAL VISITS MARCH THROUGH DECEMBER. THE FOUNDATION ALSO MADE A MONETARY CONTRIBUTION TO ALL 11 STUDIOS TO SUPPORT THEIR PROGRAMMING AND EQUIPMENT NEEDS AND WORKED WITH TECHNOLOGY PARTNERS ON AN INCREASED NUMBER OF EQUIPMENT UPGRADES FOR OLDER STUDIOS. THE FOUNDATION ALSO PROVIDES ENGINEERING ASSISTANCE TO SUPPORT ALL STUDIOS FOR ANY TECHNOLOGY NEEDS THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THE YEAR.THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP WITH JAKKS PACIFIC, SEACREST STUDIOS NATIONWIDE RECEIVED THOUSANDS OF COSTUMES TO PROVIDE PATIENTS ON HALLOWEEN. JAKKS ALSO DONATED MORE THAN 3,000 TOYS PER STUDIO LOCATION, GIFTING OVER $500,000 WORTH OF TOYS. ADDITIONALLY, ALL SEACREST STUDIOS RECEIVED A DONATION OF 25-30 BRAVEHOODS T-SHIRTS TOTALING TO NEARLY $16,000 IN DONATED MERCHANDISE. RSF ALSO WORKED WITH EXISTING PARTNER, POLY, AND NEW PARTNER, ZOOM, TO EQUIP ALL STUDIOS WITH UPDATED EQUIPMENT AND ZOOM LICENSES. DUE TO AN INCREASED NEED FOR PRE-RECORDED CONTENT TO AIR DURING THE PANDEMIC, RSF WORKED WITH KEY GROUPS SUCH AS THE GRAND OLE OPRY, HIGHLIGHTS FOR KIDS, ACM LIFTING LIVES, BIG MACHINE LABEL GROUP AND MANY MORE TO BRING ADDITIONAL EXPERIENCES TO PATIENTS IN THE HOSPITAL. IN REGARDS TO PROGRAMMING, THE 11 SEACREST STUDIO LOCATIONS REACHED APPROXIMATELY 2.1 MILLION PATIENTS AND FAMILIES, BROADCASTED OVER 10,000 HOURS AND HOSTED 144 PATIENT-CREATED SHOWS.IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT TO THE FOUNDATION TO REACH OUT TO THE COMMUNITY AND INVOLVE STUDENTS FROM LOCAL UNIVERSITIES. THEREFORE, THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES STUDENTS WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO GAIN FIRST-HAND EXPERIENCE THROUGH AN INTERNSHIP PROGRAM AT SEACREST STUDIOS IN BROADCASTING, PROGRAMMING AND OPERATING A MULTIMEDIA CENTER. THE FOUNDATION, IN PARTNERSHIP NOW WITH 11 HOSPITALS, HAS WORKED WITH MORE THAN 100 UNIVERSITIES AND HAD MORE THAN 1,000 INTERNS, IN WHICH 16 HAVE BEEN HIRED TO WORK IN A SEACREST STUDIO OR AN INTERNAL RYAN SEACREST SUBSIDIARY. IN 2020, SEACREST STUDIOS COLLECTIVELY WORKED WITH 59 TOTAL INTERNS, MANY OF WHICH ADAPTED TO A VIRTUAL INTERNSHIP DURING THE PANDEMIC. 1738561 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 8 0 1 5 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 6 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA GA TN FL X THE ORGANIZATION 6158232820 1222 16TH AVENUE SOUTH SUITE 13 NASHVILLE TN 37212 RYAN SEACREST CHAIRMAN 5.00 X X 0 0 0 GARY SEACREST CEO, CFO, CHAIR 35.00 X X 95385 0 0 CONNIE SEACREST VICE PRESIDENT 15.00 X X 0 0 0 MEREDITH SEACREST EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, COO 55.00 X X 271201 0 17503 JEFF REFOLD DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 QUINTON MARTIN DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 NICOLE MEAD SENIOR DIRECTOR 40.00 X 100615 0 6300 467201 0 23803 2 0 1 0 0 1700266 784552 1700266 24678 24678 1724944 0 0 24678 1287813 1287813 384089 172967 172712 38410 230732 169088 29015 32629 10563 7007 2026 1530 38070 21243 12411 4416 32466 18195 10485 3786 105 105 14109 7865 4608 1636 1344 750 438 156 10356 5793 3365 1198 10251 962 9089 200 47197 26336 15386 5475 6631 3702 2160 769 163 91 53 19 7051 3934 2299 818 MISCELLANEOUS 26044 4452 20668 924 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS 12017 6706 3917 1394 PAYROLL AND 401K PROCES 1874 1035 622 217 BUSINESS MEALS AND ENTE 1114 622 363 129 2121989 1738561 289722 93706 1220135 1008152 1150790 918833 16217 18012 27989 17914 17126 10075 1866067 1932786 4270335 3887858 48790 21212 48790 21212 X 2829516 2947813 1392029 918833 4221545 3866646 4270335 3887858 -397045 42041 105 0 X 0 1 X 0 0 X 1348569 1143036 1921869 1569730 1700266 7683470 1348569 1143036 1921869 1569730 1700266 7683470 3820395 3863075 2144 7262 11907 45553 24678 91544 1633 1633 7776647 0.49680 0.50440 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 3805 1844 1961 24184 16070 8114 10075 X 1766985 42041 42041 1724944 0 1724944 2121884 0 2121884 105 105 2121989 PART X, LINE 2: MANAGEMENT PERFORMS AN EVALUATION OF ALL INCOME TAX POSITIONS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN IN THE COURSE OF PREPARING THE FOUNDATION'S INCOME TAX RETURN TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE INCOME TAX POSITIONS MEET A "MORE LIKELY THAN NOT" STANDARD OF BEING SUSTAINED UNDER EXAMINATION BY THE APPLICABLE TAXING AUTHORITIES.
