DescThe NSF Water Division certifies products that come into contact with drinking water; such products include plumbing components, water treatment chemicals, drinking water filters, and pool & spa equipment. NSF pioneered the development of the American National Standards for all materials and products which treat (or come in contact with) drinking water, to help protect public health and the environment, and minimize adverse health effects. In 1990, the U.S. EPA replaced its own drinking water product advisory program with these NSF standards. Today, most plumbing codes require certification to NSF standards for pipes and plumbing components in commercial and residential buildings.Desc

Part I, Line 1aSpouse airfare provided to annual board meeting in March for board members Peter Daamen, Charles DePew, Tom Glasgow, and Leslie Loomans - $3,571, $399, $393, and $520, respectively. All amounts were reported as taxable compensation. Ian Haynes received a gross-up payment related to a car allowance.
Part I, Line 4b:Lorelle Bestervelt and Kevan Lawlor participated in the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) during the year. Kevan Lawlor received a SERP payout in the amount of $925,934. No additional accruals were made on their behalf in 2013. Mr. Kevan Lawlor will be transitioned into a 457 Retirement Plan in 2014. Therefore, the accumulated awards attributable to the SERP were paid out to close the plan in 2013. Part I, Line 7: Certain executives and employees are eligible for participation in the annual bonus plan. The plan provides eligible participants with the opportunity to receive an incentive payment based on attainment of established individual, business unit and corporate goals. The company has a long-term incentive compensation plan whereby certain management was awarded deferred compensation based on several criteria. The amounts awarded each year are reported as "Retirement and Deferred Compensation" on the 990. Beginning three years after the amounts are awarded, the amounts begin to vest for the participant. The vested amounts are included under the "Bonus and Incentive Compensation" column of 990. Under the terms of our plan, such long-term incentive compensation will be consistently reported for Form 990 purposes twice - once when awarded and again when vested.

As part of this training course, all employees are reminded of the conflict of interest policy, and are told to report any conflicts of interest to human resources.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15Each year during the January board meeting and after the publication of the prior year financial results, the compensation committee (comprised of members of the board of directors) reviews the compensation of all corporate officers and board members and recommends adjustments to compensation, as necessary. The full board of directors reviews the recommendations of the compensation committee and approves adjustments to compensation, if deemed appropriate. This compensation review/recommendation/approval process was last done in January 2013. In addition, compensation studies are performed periodically by an outside firm to assist the compensation committee in the review of officer's compensation. The last study was performed in May 2011; the next one is planned for sometime in mid-2015.
