| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B | THE RETURN IS REVIEWED BY THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER AND GENERAL COUNSEL, OTHER MEMBERS OF SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND THE FINANCE TEAM PRIOR TO FILING. FOLLOWING INTERNAL REVIEW, MBN'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS ALSO IS PROVIDED WITH A DRAFT. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C | MBN REQUIRES EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO DISCLOSE THEIR INVOLVEMENT IN ANY ACTIVITY, PRACTICE, OR CONDUCT THAT MAY CONFLICT WITH OR MIGHT REASONABLY APPEAR TO CONFLICT WITH THE INTERESTS OF MBN. THE PURPOSE OF THIS POLICY IS TO PREVENT THE INTERESTS OF ANY EMPLOYEE, OFFICER, OR BOARD MEMBER FROM INTERFERING WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF HIS OR HER DUTIES TO MBN, AND TO ENSURE THAT THERE IS NO PERSONAL, PROFESSIONAL, OR POLITICAL GAIN MADE AT THE EXPENSE OF MBN. MBN'S CODE OF ETHICS REQUIRES NOT JUST THE DISCLOSURE OF ANY CONFLICT(S) OF INTEREST, BUT THE RECUSAL OF ANY INTERESTED PARTY FROM ANY DECISIONS RELATING THERETO. EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WHO BELIEVE THEY HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST OR A PERCEIVED CONFLICT OF INTEREST MUST NOTIFY MBN'S GENERAL COUNSEL THEREOF IN WRITING. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 | MBN'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS DETERMINES AND APPROVES THE SALARY OF THE CEO/PRESIDENT OF MBN, AS WELL AS THE AMOUNT OF ANY ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION (E.G., PERFORMANCE BONUS OR COST-OF-LIVING ADJUSTMENT) PROVIDED TO THE CEO/PRESIDENT. THE SALARY IS INITIALLY SET FOLLOWING A SURVEY OF COMPARABLE DATA FROM OTHER USAGM GRANTEES (WHICH DATA IS COMPILED AND MAINTAINED BY THE BOARD SECRETARY AT THE DIRECTION OF THE BOARD CHAIR). MBN HIRES AN INDEPENDENT CONSULTANT TO ANALYZE EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION AND PAY BANDS. THE LAST GLOBAL COMPENSATION REVIEW WAS COMPLETED IN JULY 2017 AND INCLUDED ALL POSITION AT MBN, WORLDWIDE. |
