Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:Part X, Line 2:The Club (an Illinois not-for-profit organization) is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state law. During 2013 and 2012, the Club did not have any significant income subject to unrelated business income taxes. The following text is provided in Footnote 1 of the Organization's audited financial statements to report the liability for uncertain tax positions under ASC 740: The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, the Club may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more than likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of the Club and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income (UBTI). The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. At June 30, 2013 and 2012, there were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities. The Club files Form 990 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction. The Club is generally no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for fiscal years ended before June 30, 2010.
Part X: The Club originally entered into a deferred compensation agreement with the Retired President in January of 1998. The liability reflects the contractual obligations under that agreement including amendments thereto. The Club currently has a qualified 401(k) plan available to all employees and has not offered and has no plans to offer other retirement plans to any employee.

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 2J.B. Pritzker and Penny Pritzker are brother and sister.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 6The Economic Club of Chicago is comprised of members who pay annual membership dues.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7aDuring the annual meeting held in April of each year, the members of the Club elect members into the positions of director, officer, or member of the Executive Committee as they need to be filled.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7bThe governing body is elected each year by the members of the Club. The Executive Committee is responsible for making certain decisions on behalf of the Board of Directors.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11At the end of the fiscal year, the Club engages an outside auditor to review its financials and perform an audit. Once the audit is completed, an outside accountant prepares the Tax Form 990. The Club's Finance Committee meets to review the audit reports and the Form 990. Upon review by the Finance Committee a copy of the Form 990 is sent to the Executive Committee for final review before the tax return is filed. The initial Form 990 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013 was inadvertently filed by McGladrey, LLP, preparer accounting firm, prior to the review and approval from the Finance Committee and Executive Committee. This amended filing however, is made following proper review and approval from the Finance Committee and Executive Committee.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cThe Economic Club has a conflict of interest policy which was reviewed and approved by the Executive Committee on June 6, 2011. All directors review and sign an annual disclosure statement indicating they are aware of no conflicts. Additionally, in order to comply with our conflict of interest policy, the Club's Board of Director's must notify the Club if there are any conflicts not disclosed previously during the annual independence affirmation. Providing this information provides the Club disclosure and transparency to assure proper governance for the Club.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15The Club engaged an outside consultant to complete a review of compensation of the staff and key employees of the organization. Compensation benchmarking was performed. The compensation findings were first presented to the Finance Committee for a detailed review and then presented to the Executive Committee and approved.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19The Economic Club's Form 990 is available upon request.
Form 990, Part VII, Section AThe Board of Directors is comprised of Directors and Officers, with select Directors and Officers also serving on the Executive Committee and Finance Committee. The Board of Directors meets twice a year, while the Executive Committee and Finance Committee each meet four times a year.
