These transactions are explained below. There are other transactions in 2019 and prior calendar years that are still under review by the NRA and/or are currently subject to dispute in the following legal proceedings: 1. People of the State of New York, by Letitia James, Attorney General of the State of New York v. The National Rifle Association of American, Inc., Wayne LaPierre, Wilson Phillips, John Frazer and Joshua Powell, pending in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, [Albany County] Index No. 451625/2020; 2. The National Rifle Association of America v. Oliver North, pending in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, [Albany County] Index No. 903843-20; 3. The National Rifle Association of America and Wayne LaPierre v. Ackerman McQueen, Inc., et. al., pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, Civil Action No. 3:19-cv-02074-G; and 4. National Rifle Association of America v. AMC McQueen, Inc. and Mercury Group, Inc., pending in the Circuit Court of the City of Alexandria, [Virginia], Case Nos.: CL19001757, CL19002067 and CL19002886. The NRA cannot at the time this Form 990 is filed determine whether these other transactions are excess benefit transactions. Schedule L, Part I 2. Personal Transportation 1. Wayne R. LaPierre: It has been determined that in 2013 and 2014, there were six (6) trips on chartered jets that resulted in an excess benefit to Mr. LaPierre. Mr. LaPierre was, during those years, the Executive Vice President and Chief Executive Officer of the NRA, and thus a disqualified person within the intendment of Section 4958 of the Internal Revenue Code ("Code"). The NRA estimates that its expenses for these trips, which constitute automatic excess benefits to Mr. LaPierre because these amounts were not intended to be compensation, totaled $43,743.83, for which the NRA expects to receive reimbursement from Mr. LaPierre, plus interest. The NRA estimates that the total Code Section 4958 excise tax on these excess benefit transactions is $10,935.96. 2. Wilson "Woody" Phillips: From 2014 through 2018, Mr. Phillips was submitting and receiving reimbursements from the NRA for airfare from his home in Dallas, Texas, to Washington, D.C. Mr. Phillips served as Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer of the NRA and was thus a disqualified person within the intendment of Code Section 4958. If these trips constitute commuting (which the NRA is presently investigating), the NRA believes such reimbursement would constitute excess benefit transactions. The total amount reimbursed by the NRA to Mr. Phillips from 2014 through 2018 is estimated to be $74,751.31, which would generate under Code Section 4958 excise tax due from Mr. Phillips of $18,687.83. The NRA is currently unaware as to whether Mr. Phillips intends to repay the amount of any excess benefit transactions, plus interest. Schedule L, Part I 3. Cosmetics The NRA has learned that from 2016 through 2018, the NRA paid for expenses incurred for professional makeup and hair services in connection with the attendance of Mrs. Susan LaPierre at certain NRA functions. Mrs. LaPierre is a disqualified person under Code Section 4958(f)(1)(B) and (4). Professional makeup and hair services may not be deductible as a trade or business expense if paid by Mrs. LaPierre, and as such, may be excess benefit transactions. The NRA is investigating the circumstances, number of times and cost of professional makeup and hair services for Mrs. LaPierre. The NRA expects to receive reimbursement from Mr. LaPierre, plus interest, if it is determined that there is an excess benefit. Schedule L, Part I 4. Gifts The NRA has learned that from 2011 through 2017, Wayne and Susan LaPierre have been reimbursed by the NRA for gifts provided to NRA vendors, donors, employees and, perhaps, others, apparently related to furthering the charitable purpose of the NRA. Because many of the gifts made to non-NRA employees were in excess of the $25 per donee business gift deduction limitation, the NRA believes the excess amount likely constitutes automatic excess benefits to Mr. LaPierre because these amounts were not intended to be compensation. At this time the NRA cannot calculate the exact amount of any such excess benefit. The NRA expects to receive reimbursement from Mr. LaPierre, plus interest, for amounts exceeding $25 per gift, per donee Schedule L, Part I 5. Auto Leases The NRA has learned that in 2019 and prior years, certain employees obtained an economic benefit indirectly from the NRA when they purchased vehicles that had previously been leased to the NRA from a third-party commercial leasing company at prices that were less than their fair market value. Some of the employees who purchased the previously leased vehicles were disqualified persons. At the termination of a vehicle lease, the NRA had the opportunity to sell the vehicles at auction, pay the leasing company the contracted termination value, and retain any excess sale proceeds. The NRA did not own the vehicles itself, and it did not sell the vehicles to the employees directly; therefore, the vehicle purchases were not direct excess benefit transactions. The NRA believes that the following disqualified persons may have engaged in indirect excess benefit transactions when they availed themselves of (or allowed a relative) the opportunity to purchase previously leased vehicles from the leasing company at prices that were less than their respective fair market values: 1. John Frazer; Year of Transaction: 2018; Excess Benefit: $13,118; Estimated Excise Tax: $3,279.50 2. Wilson Phillips; Year of Transaction: 2019; Excess Benefit: $10,208; Estimated Excise Tax: $2,552 3. Wayne Lapierre; Year of Transaction: 2019; Excess Benefit: $3,653; Estimated Excise Tax: $913.25 Mr. Frazer has repaid this excess benefit to NRA, plus interest and therefore the excess benefit has been corrected. The NRA expects to receive reimbursement from Mr. LaPierre, plus interest. The NRA is currently unaware as to whether Mr. Phillips intends to repay the amount of any excess benefit transactions, plus interest. Schedule L, Part I 6. Joseph P. DeBergalis, Jr On Schedule L of its 2019 Form 990, the NRA reported that Mr. DeBergalis, a former NRA director who has been an NRA employee and, later, officer from January 25, 2017 to the present, may have used business class travel paid for by the NRA without authorization, which may have constituted excess benefit transactions. After further review of NRA records, it appears that Mr. DeBergalis had, in fact, received the appropriate approval in September 2018 to travel business class for medical reasons. From 2017 through September 2018, Mr. DeBergalis completed ten (10) one-way business class trips that he charged to the NRA. All but one of those trips were considered commuting, were taxed as compensation to Mr. DeBergalis through the NRA payroll, and thus were not excess benefit transactions. The other trip was for business and was not considered taxable compensation. All other NRA business trips upgraded to business class by Mr. DeBergalis were paid for by Mr. DeBergalis personally and no reimbursement was sought. Therefore, no excess benefit transactions occurred with respect to Mr. DeBergalis. Schedule L, Part I 7. First Class Travel and Entertainment On its Form 990 for 2019, the NRA reported that it was reviewing NRA board members' use of first class or business class travel in 2019 or earlier years. Based on review of available records to date, the NRA believes that such travel was for legitimate business purposes and did not constitute excess benefit transactions. In 2021, the NRA adopted comprehensively revised travel policies and procedures to prevent unauthorized upgrades.
