Part I, Line 1a: Relevant information in regards to selections on 1a.Wages are grossed up to include the tax implications of non-cash benefits provided to certain employees.
Part I, Line 1b: Reason for not following policy regarding payment provisions for expensesSan Diego Opera does not have a written policy regarding tax gross-up payments and generally does not gross up employee wages for the tax implications of compensation or benefits. Gross-ups were applied at the direction of the Compensation Committee on select non-cash benefits for certain employees.
Part III, Additional InformationOn May 15th, 2014, San Diego Opera and Ian Campbell agreed to end their employment relationship with each other and entered into an Interim Agreement to mediate the conclusion of his employment agreement and any ancillary retirement and benefit plans. AS PART OF THIS INTERIM AGREEMENT, SAN DIEGO OPERA ASSOCIATION AGREED TO MAKE AN ANNUAL LIFE INSURANCE PREMIUM PAYMENT IN THE AMOUNT OF $7,093 WHICH WAS DUE ON MAY 13, 2014. THIS WAS ONE OF TWO LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES FOR MR. CAMPBELL WHICH WERE BEING PAID FOR BY SAN DIEGO OPERA IN ACCORDANCE WITH HIS EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT. Effective July 25, 2014, San Diego Opera and Ian Campbell entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release of all Claims. The terms of this agreement included a lump sum payment in the gross amount of $276,000, making available to Mr. Campbell two opening night seats for all events put on by San Diego Opera for his lifetime and Mr. Campbell will keep and maintain at his own expense any insurance policies issued to him while employed by San Diego Opera Association. During the course of his employment, Mr. Campbell participated in the company sponsored 403(b) retirement plan that is available to all full-time employees. During the 2013-2014 fiscal year, and in previous years, Mr. Campbell received matching contributions as defined in the plan. This Settlement agreement did not impact Mr. Campbells 403(b) plan account. On May 15th, 2014, San Diego Opera and Ann Spira Campbell agreed to end their employment relationship with each other and entered into an Interim Agreement to mediate the conclusion of her employment agreement and any ancillary retirement and benefit plans. As part of this interim Agreement, San Diego Opera Association agreed to pay out accrued vacation time in the amount of $17,823.36 and to relinquish any claim of right to funds it held in trust pursuant to a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) in which Ms. Campbell was the SOLE participant. The SERP was established in 2006 and required annual employer contributions based on a percentage of Ms. Campbells compensation. Effective July 5, 2014, San Diego Opera and Ann Spira Campbell entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release of all Claims. The terms of this agreement included a lump sum payment in the gross amount of $200,000, releasing the accumulated funds held in the SERP to Ms. Campbell (fair market value as of the release date was $594,698) and making available to Ms. Campbell two opening night seats for all events put on by San Diego Opera for her lifetime. During the course of her employment, Ms. Campbell participated in the company sponsored 403(b) retirement plan that is available to all full-time employees. During the 2013-2014 fiscal year, and in previous years, Ms. Campbell received matching contributions as defined in the plan. This Settlement agreement did not impact Ms. Campbells 403(b) plan account.The monetary portions of these severance payments were made in July 2014. However, because the San Diego Opera uses the accrual method of accounting, the amounts were included in the Statement of Functional Expenses (Page 10 of Form 990, Part IX) for the tax year ended June 30, 2014.
