PART I, LINE 1A	THE AD COUNCIL MAKES ANNUAL EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE ORGANIZATION'S 403(B) RETIREMENT PLAN. THOSE AMOUNTS, IN EXCESS OF THE IRS RETIREMENT CONTRIBUTION LIMIT, ARE TRANSFERRED TO AN EXTERNAL ANNUITY AND ARE TAXABLE IN THE CALENDAR YEAR. FOR TAX YEAR 2016 THE FOLLOWING EMPLOYEES HAD EXCESS CONTRIBUTIONS PAID INTO AN ANNUITY (JON FISH, BARBARA LESHINSKY, PRISCILLA NATKINS, PAULA VEALE AND ELIZABETH ELLARD). THE AMOUNTS TRANSFERRED ARE LISTED IN PART II, COLUMN B(III) AND INCLUDE THE "GROSS UP" FOR TAXES. THIS WAS THE LAST TAX YEAR IN WHICH "GROSSING UP" WILL OCCUR. THE AD COUNCIL PROVIDED AN ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP TO A HEALTH CLUB IN THE AMOUNT OF $900 FOR EACH OF THE FOLLOWING EMPLOYEES: LISA SHERMAN, PRISCILLA NATKINS, AND BARBARA LESHINSKY.
PART I, LINE 3	APPROXIMATELY EVERY TWO TO FOUR YEARS, THE AD COUNCIL HIRES AN INDEPENDENT CONSULTING FIRM TO CONDUCT A COMPREHENSIVE COMPENSATION STUDY. THE STUDY IS CONDUCTED TO ASSESS THE EXTERNAL COMPETITIVENESS OF THE AD COUNCIL'S CURRENT TOTAL PAY, DEVELOP COMPARABLE MARKET BASE SALARY AND TOTAL PAY SUMMARY STATISTICS AND AUDIT & RECOMMEND CHANGES TO THE AD COUNCIL'S EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE PLAN. THE MOST RECENT STUDY WAS PERFORMED IN AUGUST 2014. THE INFORMATION GATHERED FROM THESE STUDIES IS USED TO HELP INFORM THE DECISION-MAKING PROCESS OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE IS COMPRISED OF THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD, THE TWO VICE CHAIRS AND THE HEAD OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE. THE COMMITTEE MEETS AT LEAST ANNUALLY TO REVIEW AND ESTABLISH THE TOTAL COMPENSATION PACKAGE (BASE SALARY AND INCENTIVE GOALS) FOR THE PRESIDENT & CEO AND EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENTS. THE COMMITTEE ALSO REVIEWS AND APPROVES THE TOTAL INCENTIVE PAYOUT FOR THE ENTIRE ORGANIZATION. THIS ENTIRE PROCESS IS CONTEMPORANEOUSLY DOCUMENTED IN MEETING MINUTES. FISCAL YEAR 2015 COMPENSATION REVIEW WAS PERFORMED ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2014. FISCAL YEAR 2016 COMPENSATION REVIEW WAS PERFORMED ON SEPTEMBER 18, 2015. FISCAL YEAR 2017 REVIEW WAS PERFORMED ON SEPTEMBER 8, 2016. OTHER KEY EMPLOYEES ARE ADDRESSED IN THE COMPENSATION STUDY AND THIS COMPARATIVE DATA IS USED AS A PART OF THE PROCESS WHERE THE CEO, CFO, HR AND DEPARTMENT HEADS REVIEW AND APPROVE THE COMPENSATION PACKAGE FOR EACH EMPLOYEE ANNUALLY.
PART I, LINE 4B	THE AD COUNCIL'S SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN ("SERP") IS SPONSORED BY THE ADVERTISING COUNCIL, INC., A TAX-EXEMPT ENTITY UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (THE "CODE"). THE PURPOSE OF THE PLAN IS TO OFFER ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES OF THE EMPLOYER DEFERRED COMPENSATION BENEFITS UNDER CODE SECTION 457(F) TO SUPPLEMENT SUCH EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT BENEFITS.

A LOG IS MAINTAINED BOTH WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT (FOR BOARD MEMBERS/VOLUNTEERS) AND WITHIN THE HR DEPARTMENT (FOR EMPLOYEES). AD COUNCIL REQUIRES THAT ANY MEMBER REPORT IN WRITING ANY CONFLICT OF INTEREST THAT ARISES IN THE FOLLOWING MANNER: (1) MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS SHALL DISCLOSE ANY CONFLICT OF INTEREST TO THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD; (2) EMPLOYEES SHALL DISCLOSE ANY CONFLICT OF INTEREST TO THE SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT, DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES; AND (3) VOLUNTEERS SHALL DISCLOSE ANY CONFLICT OF INTEREST TO THE AD COUNCIL'S CEO OR CFO. THE EXISTENCE OF A POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST DOES NOT NECESSARILY CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY. THE POLICY REQUIRES DISCLOSURE AND REVIEW OF POTENTIAL CONFLICTS AND PROHIBITION OF ACTUAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. IN SOME CASES, DISCLOSURE MAY BE ALL THAT IS REQUIRED. IN OTHER CASES, THE SITUATION MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL ACTION TO AVOID AN ACTUAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST OR TO REMEDY ONE. WHERE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST ARISES, AN INTERESTED COVERED PARTY SHALL ABSTAIN FROM DELIBERATIONS AND REFRAIN FROM PARTICIPATING IN ANY DECISIONS OR VOTING IN CONNECTION WITH THE MATTER. THE CODE OF CONDUCT AND CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY IS REVIEWED ANNUALLY. THE POLICY WAS UPDATED FOR STAFF IN APRIL 2014 AND FOR THE BOARD IN OCTOBER 2014.
