| Part I, Line 1a | The Recording Academy has a written policy regarding the circumstances in which first class travel may be used. The organization makes it a practice to routinely use business or coach airline travel. Additionally, The Recording Academy receives, as part of its sponsorship income, barter tickets for first class, business and coach airline travel. The Recording Academy also has a practice to utilize barter tickets first for business or coach airline travel except when travel time exceeds a certain length or if barter travel is inconvenient or not available. The President/CEO and elected officers are permitted to fly first class, although they are encouraged to fly business class if available prior to booking in first class. Further, these individuals are also encouraged to use coach class travel for very short trips. Other members of senior management are only allowed to fly business or first class if they use barter. Non-barter flights are required to be booked in coach. |
| Part I, Lines 4a-b | During 2010,the employment relationships of David Grossman and Angelia Bibbs-Sanders with The Recording Academy were ended. In connection with the termination of employment, The Recording Academy negotiated and paid a confidential severance to Mr. Grossman and to Ms. Bibbs-Sanders that was in accordance with the organization's standard practice in similar situations, as well as standards within the industry. The severance payment is reported in column B(III) "other reportable compensation." |
| Part I, Lines 4a-b | Part I, Line 4b: Neil Portnow participated in The Recording Academy's Supplemental Employee Retirement Benefit Plan ("SERP"), which is considered to be a supplemental nonqualified retirement plan under IRC section 457(f). Amounts deferred under the Section 457(f) plan are subject to substantial risk of forfeiture. These amounts will be reported as compensation for the year paid. Mr. Portnow was not paid any amounts during calendar year 2010 as his participation was still subject to substantial risk of forfeiture. Schedule J, Part II, Column C for Mr. Portnow includes $141,040 of Section 457(f) deferred compensation that was accrued, but not received. Additionally, the $141,040 amount represents a reasonable estimate of the accrual for calendar year 2010 as the actual number is not readily available. |
