The filer's explanations (Part III)

Part I Line 1a

Health or social club dues are paid for officers or members of the senior leadership team of Dupaco Community Credit Union as part of their compensation package. Any dues that are paid to these members are added to their W-2s at the end of the year as reportable compensation and are reported in Part VII and Schedule J. In tax year 2023, Dupaco Community Credit Union reimbursed travel expenses to industry conferences for companions to Board Members as reflective on form 990, Part VII, Section A.

Part I Line 4b

The following individuals participated in a non qualified retirement plan in 2023. Joe Hearn 32,187, Danielle Gratton 34,778, Matt Dodds 25,264, Steve Ervolino 23,321, Dave Klavitter 15,728, and Lisa Bowers 23,767. The dollar amount represents the contribution made by Dupaco Community Credit Union on behalf of the individuals to the plan in 2023 based on achievement of growth and member service initiatives full vesting at retirement age as an additional retention incentive for designated executives. This information is included in deferred compensation on the Form 990, Part VII and Schedule J, Part II.

Part II Line C

The Dupaco Board of Directors has designed the credit unions management compensation program to be competitive in the marketplace and ensure alignment of the long term interests of both manager and members. Dupaco management compensation is based on national compensation surveys and independent consultant analyses of similar sized financial institutions around the United States. The Dupaco Board Personnel Committee regularly reviews the data to ensure Dupaco is paying a fair market wage to attract and retain the best employee talent to manage a strong, stable and successful financial institution. The Personnel Committee provides annual recommendations of salary adjustments to the Board of Directors, who then votes on the recommendations. Components of management compensation packages include a large percentage of variable at risk pay, which is based on the credit unions member and employee engagement, satisfaction, and financial performance during specified time periods, as well as the credit unions business strategy as determined by the Board of Directors. Dupaco must be competitive in the financial services industry to retain long term talent. Because it cannot provide stock options offered by for profit financial institutions as a retention and performance incentive, Dupaco as a member owned cooperative provides designated executives a non qualified long term executive incentive plan. Designed to be self funding in nature through the achievement of growth and member service initiatives, the credit union will recoup the funding cost of supplemental retirement plan benefits through life insurance policy proceeds on plan participants. The retention incentive requires the participating executive to remain at the credit union until retirement age to be fully vested in the deferred compensation benefit. As an interim retention incentive leading up to a participants retirement, the plan does pay out once every five years a percentage of the vested long term executive incentive plan, which the credit union accrues annually based on goal achievement. In 2023, several executives received this 5-year retention incentive.
