Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

The filer's explanations (Part III)

PART I, LINE 1A
TRAVEL FOR COMPANIONS: THE CEO HAS AN ANNUAL CONTRACTUAL ALLOWANCE FOR COMPANION/SPOUSE TRAVEL. THE TRAVEL MUST BE IN THE COURSE OF THE CEO PERFORMING HIS OFFICIAL DUTIES. THE COST OF COMPANION/SPOUSE TRAVEL IS INCLUDED IN THE CEO'S TAXABLE COMPENSATION. SOCIAL CLUB DUES: THE CEO IS GRANTED THE USE OF A GOLF CLUB MEMBERSHIP AND A RESTAURANT CLUB MEMBERSHIP EXCLUSIVELY FOR BUSINESS PURPOSES WHICH IS TREATED AS A NONTAXABLE BENEFIT.
PART I, LINE 3
FLORIDA CITRUS SPORTS EVENTS, INC. USES A COMPENSATION COMMITTEE TO DETERMINE COMPENSATION OF THE CEO AND THE POOL OF DOLLARS FOR SALARY ADJUSTMENTS OF ALL OTHER STAFF MEMBERS. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE, CONSISTING OF MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE ARE PRESENTED WITH COMPARATIVE SALARY AND BONUS DATA FOR TOP MANAGEMENT OFFICIALS AND THE CEO FOR THE PRIOR YEAR, FROM INDUSTRY SALARY AND BONUS DATA PUBLISHED BY THE FOOTBALL BOWL ASSOCIATION. DURING THE SUMMER OF FISCAL YEAR 2024, THE ORGANIZATION HAD A COMPENSATION STUDY PREPARED BY EY TO ASSIST WITH MAKING COMPENSATION DETERMINATIONS AND PLANS TO OBTAIN AN UPDATED SURVEY EVERY FOUR TO FIVE YEARS. THE SALARIES AND BONUSES FOR TOP MANAGEMENT OFFICIALS AS RECOMMENDED BY THE CEO ARE REVIEWED. ONCE AN AGREEMENT IS REACHED WITHIN THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE, THE NEW COMPENSATION FOR THE CEO AND OTHER STAFF MEMBERS IS PRESENTED TO THE ENTIRE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE FOR FINAL REVIEW AND APPROVAL. THE CEO'S SALARY AND BONUS IS DETERMINED BY THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE AND IS NOT PART OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE CEO. ALL DECISIONS ARE DOCUMENTED.
PART I, LINE 6
THE BONUS POOL FOR STAFF OTHER THAN THE CEO IS APPROVED EACH YEAR BY THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. THE TOTAL POOL FOR THIS YEAR WAS 5% OF BASE COMPENSATION PLUS 5% OF EBITDA OF THE ORGANIZATION AND TWO RELATED ORGANIZATIONS. INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYEE AMOUNTS ARE DETERMINED BY THE CEO AND APPROVED BY THE PRESIDENT ON BEHALF OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
PART I, LINE 7
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE DETERMINES THE AMOUNT OF OF THE CEO'S BONUS. THE CEO DETERMINES THE BONUS AMOUNT FOR OTHER EMPLOYEES.

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
