THE AAA DOES NOT DECIDE CASES. RATHER, IT PROVIDES A FORUM FOR THE HEARING OF DISPUTES, TESTED RULES AND PROCEDURES THAT HAVE BROAD ACCEPTANCE AND A ROSTER OF APPROXIMATELY 5,300 IMPARTIAL ARBITRATORS AND MEDIATORS TO HEAR AND RESOLVE CASES.

| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 | EACH YEAR, THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE AAA'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR REVIEWING AND RECOMMENDING THE COMPENSATION OF THE AAA'S PRESIDENT AND CEO. THE FULL BOARD OF DIRECTORS THEN REVIEWS AND DETERMINES THE PRESIDENT AND CEO'S COMPENSATION. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE CONSISTS ENTIRELY OF INDEPENDENT BOARD MEMBERS WHO DID NOT HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. IN CONDUCTING THEIR REVIEW AND MAKING THEIR DETERMINATION, THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RELY UPON MARKET COMPARABILITY DATA FOR SIMILARLY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS IN FUNCTIONALLY COMPARABLE POSITIONS AT SIMILARLY SITUATED ORGANIZATIONS PROVIDED BY AN INDEPENDENT NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED COMPENSATION CONSULTING FIRM WITH EXPERTISE ADVISING NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. IN ADDITION, THE COMPENSATION CONSULTING FIRM ALSO ISSUED AN OPINION LETTER CERTIFYING TO THE REASONABLENESS OF THE PRESIDENT AND CEO'S TOTAL COMPENSATION UNDER SECTION 4958 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. PERFORMANCE REVIEWS ARE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT, INCLUDING ACHIEVEMENT TOWARDS OBJECTIVES ALIGNED WITH PROMOTING THE AAA'S MISSION AND SUPPORTING ITS OPERATIONS.

IN ADDITION, THE COMPENSATION CONSULTING FIRM ALSO ISSUED AN OPINION LETTER CERTIFYING TO THE REASONABLENESS OF THE TOTAL COMPENSATION OF THE AAA'S OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES UNDER SECTION 4958 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE.

| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION C, LINE 19 | THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION ("AAA") MAKES AVAILABLE ITS FORM 990 FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION UPON REQUEST, AND IT IS MADE AVAILABLE ON THE WWW.GUIDESTAR.ORG WEBSITE AS WELL.

TO DATE, GOVERNING DOCUMENTS AND POLICIES CONCERNING CONFLICT OF INTEREST HAVE NOT BEEN MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 2: | WHILE THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION ("AAA") HAS NO ACTUAL KNOWLEDGE OF ANY FAMILY OR BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN OFFICERS, TRUSTEES OR KEY EMPLOYEES, THROUGH OUR ANNUAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST PROCEDURES, WE WOULD ANTICIPATE THAT AMONG THE GOVERNING BODY, THAT IS COMPOSED OF A WIDE RANGE OF LEADERS FROM VARIOUS FIELDS, THAT SOME RELATIONSHIP MAY EXIST. |

TO MAINTAIN NEUTRALITY AND INTEGRITY OF THE ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS, THE ASSOCIATION FACILITATES PAYMENT TO ARBITRATORS AND MEDIATORS ON MOST CASES ON BEHALF OF THE PARTIES TO AAA ADMINISTERED CASES BY ACTING AS A CONDUIT FOR SUCH PAYMENTS. IN OTHER WORDS, THE ASSOCIATION DELIVERS PARTY PAYMENTS TO ARBITRATORS AND MEDIATORS, AND ISSUES A 1099-NEC FORM TO EACH ARBITRATOR AND MEDIATOR AT YEAR END CONSOLIDATING ALL PARTY PAYMENTS MADE THROUGH THE AAA IN THAT PERIOD. ARBITRATORS AND MEDIATORS ARE NOT CONSIDERED TO BE INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS AS DEFINED BY THE IRS FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE FORM 990, AS THEY PROVIDE NO GOOD OR SERVICE DIRECTLY TO THE ASSOCIATION. THE 3,357 FORM 1099-NEC SUBMISSIONS NOTED ON PART V, QUESTION 1A INCLUDE ACCOUNTS FOR PAYMENTS MADE BY PARTIES TO IMPARTIAL ARBITRATORS AND MEDIATORS THROUGH THE AAA. THE AAA RECORDS THESE FUNDS IN A CUSTODIAL CAPACITY AS A LIABILITY ON THE AAA'S BALANCE SHEET. THESE FUNDS ARE NOT RECORDED OR RECOGNIZED AS INCOME OR EXPENSE. SOME ARBITRATORS AND MEDIATORS ARE MEMBERS OF THE ASSOCIATION'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS. HOWEVER, SUCH SERVICE IS PURELY VOLUNTARY AND NO MEMBER OF THE BOARD IS COMPENSATED FOR THEIR SERVICE AS A MEMBER OF THE BOARD. |
