SCHEDULE D, PART V, LINE 4:THE ENDOWMENT FUNDS OF THE ORGANIZATION ARE USED TO FUND SCHOLARSHIPS FOR STUDENTS.
SCHEDULE D, PART X, LINE 2:The following is the "Income Taxes" footnote from the consolidated financial statements that include the accounts and balances of WGU Corporation, among other entities: WGU Corporation and Western Governors University qualify as tax-exempt organizations under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and are generally exempt from federal and state income taxes, except for taxes on income from activities unrelated to their exempt purposes. The consolidated wholly-owned LLC partnerships are treated as disregarded entities for income tax purposes to the extent that their activities are related to an exempt purpose of their tax-exempt parent. The Organization records its allocated income or loss from other majority-owned LLCs, and based on the nature of the operations of those LLCs, determines if any income tax will be due. Activities unrelated to the exempt purpose are subject to income tax. The consolidated LP partnerships seek investments in early-stage, mission-aligned companies. Certain activities of the LP partnerships could be subject to taxation and such taxes are recorded in the consolidated financial statements as applicable. Management believes the Organization has taken no tax positions that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
