Schedule D, Part IV, Line 1b Agent, trustee, custodian, or other intermediary arrangementLyric Opera acts as custodian of all assets and paymaster for payments for the Ryan Opera Center, to facilitate better controls and cost effectiveness.
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 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 returns 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 would recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions in interest and income tax expense, respectively. However, the Opera has no amounts accrued for interest or penalties as of June 30, 2018 and 2017. There are no on-going federal, state or local tax audits.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b Review of form 990 by governing bodyThe Lyric Opera of Chicago Form 990 and Schedules are prepared and reviewed by Lyric staff. A review is then performed by our Tax Advisor. The Tax Advisor oversees the discussion and review of the Form 990 with members of the Lyric Opera Audit Committee, along with appropriate Lyric staff. The entire Form 990 and Form 990-T package is sent along with a summary memo, via e-mail, to all Members of the Lyric Opera of Chicago Audit Committee prior to filing electronically 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 nine members of the Board of Directors who are deemed independent, 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. The compensation 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. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors reviews the contract on an annual basis.
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 nine independent board members, reviewed the fiscal 2018 compensation arrangements on April 4, 2017. This process is done annually. 2) Lyric salary bands are determined by an independent consultant every three years 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.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 19 Required documents available to the publicLyric Opera of Chicago posts audited financial statements on its website. Governing documents and conflicts of interest policy are not required disclosures pursuant to IRC Sec. 6104. These documents are not available to the public at this time.
