Part X, Line 2: The Association is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state law. However, the Association files income tax returns which report income from certain activities not directly related to the Association's tax-exempt purpose, such as advertising income, which are subject to taxation as unrelated business income. During the years ended May 31, 2021 and 2020, the Association did not pay any taxes resulting from unrelated business income. 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 Association 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 Association, and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income. As of May 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no unrecognized tax positions identified or recorded as liabilities. The Association files Forms 990 and 990-T and certain other forms in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the State of Illinois. 1 Brigham Young A-285 ASB Provo CT 84602 825527047 501(c)(3) 149790 General Operating Support American Osteopathics Foundation 142 E Ontario St Chicago IL 60611 366056120 501(c)(3) 25000 To fund research for the advancement of the osteopathic profession.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c Before vendors and capital requests are approved, the requesting officer, director, trustee or key employee must disclose any potential conflict of interest. The current policy enforcement is based on regular collection of conflict information from key staff, trustees, and officers. Trustees, officers, key staff are all educated as to what AOA's policy is regarding a conflict of interest and are expected to disclose conflict of interest and not participate in decisions regarding any entity with which they have a conflict, including decisions on doing business with an organization or individual where there is a conflict. There is a whistle-blower policy that protects employees who disclose a violation of conflict of interest policy from good-faith reporting of a suspected breach of conflict policy. Failure to comply with policy is enforced by disciplinary measures, including removal from office and/or termination of employment. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 The compensation (salaries, bonuses, benefits) for the Chief Executive Officer and key employees are set based upon information provided by an external compensation service, who furnishes information drawn from surveys (including Forms 990) from comparable healthcare associations and other employers in the relevant geographic markets. A committee of the Board of Trustees - the Committee on Administrative Personnel (COAP) - is provided with the information for the Chief Executive Officer's compensation and makes recommendations for final approval by the entire Board of Trustees. Compensation is reviewed each year by vote of the disinterested members of the Committee on Administrative Personnel. Compensation for the President was initially set by the Committee on Administrative Personnel after evaluating data received from the compensation for Board President (and President-elect) of similar national professional organizations where the President fulfills similar responsibilities in representing the organization. It has been adjusted each year by a cost of living adjustment set based on the consumer price index. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 The AOA's governing documents (constitution and bylaws and code of ethics) are published on-line and available at the AOA's website - http://www.osteopathic.org/Pages/default.aspx.
