Part V, Line 4:	The Investment Committee, which oversees all the Corporation's investments, operates under investment and spending policies for endowment assets that attempt to provide a predictable stream of funding to programs, while seeking to maintain the purchasing power of the endowment assets. Under these policies, the endowment assets are invested in a manner that, over time, will meet the long-term objective of a 5 percent real return on assets. The Corporation's policy is to preserve the historical dollar value of permanently restricted contributions, and to use any of the investment returns as is prudent considering the Corporation's long- and short-term needs, resources, duration and preservation of donor-restricted endowment funds, donor restrictions, expected total return on its investments, price level trends, general economic conditions, and investment policies.
Part X, Line 2:	Income taxes: The Corporation follows the standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which 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 Corporation may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more 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 Corporation, continued tax exempt status of bonds payable, and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income. 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. The Corporation files Form 990 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the state of Illinois.

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 4	In June 2022, the Bylaws of the CSOA were amended with regard to the Trustee term limits and Life Trustee status. Going forward, Trustees will serve three-year terms without any maximum term limit. Also, rather than be nominated for Life Trustee status after completing four terms, the Committee will instead nominate only those Trustees who have served on the Board for at least 12 years and meet one or more existing qualifications outlined in the Bylaws, demonstrating exemplary service to the CSOA. Life Trustees will retain their full voting power and the full financial expectations of Trustees. Current Life Trustees may be offered to be reinstated as Trustees, along with all accompanying powers and financial expectations, or they may be grandfathered into any new policy.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 6	The members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (the "Corporation") are designated as Governing Members. Governing Members are elected from among persons who have demonstrated a significant interest in the CSO and who meet such additional criteria as the Board of Trustees may from time to time determine.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7a	Governing Members ratify the election of Governing Members and, at each Annual Meeting, the fully ratified Governing Members elect Regular and Life Trustees.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b	The governing body receives a copy of the 990 without the inclusion of the Schedule A "Identification of Excess Contributions or the names and addresses of contributors listed in Part I of Schedule B, "Schedule of Contributors". The CSO's tax advisor, RSM, prepares the Form 990 using the audited financial statements and supporting schedules prepared by CSO staff. Staff and the tax advisor discuss and review the entire Form 990 and Form 990-T with members of the CSO Audit Committee, who review and accept it before it is filed as set forth in the Committee Authority and Responsibility section of the Audit Committee charter. The 2022 Form 990 and Form 990-T were reviewed and approved at the April 30, 2024 meeting of the Audit Committee.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c	The CSO maintains a Conflict of Interest Policy that applies to all trustees, the Executive Committees of certain auxiliary operations operating under the CSO's bylaws, senior management and other designated staff members, and non-trustee members of Trustee committees. The Policy requires each person to whom the policy applies to complete an annual disclosure questionnaire that discloses any business or financial interest, which might reasonably be expected to give rise to a possible conflict between the interest of the CSO and the interest of such person. To the extent that the required disclosure questionnaire cannot be obtained after multiple attempts, alternative procedures are completed by staff and the Audit Committee to reasonably conclude whether any conflicts exist. The Policy forbids such individuals from voting on or using their personal influence in connection with such business or financial issues. In the event the CSO does conduct business with a related party, the financial terms of those relationships are reported annually to the Audit Committee, whose members are independent per the terms of its charter. The CSO requires each non-union employee to conduct themselves in accordance with the code of Business Conduct and Ethics, approved by the Board of Trustees, and to sign an annual statement acknowledging their understanding of and compliance with the Code.
