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, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — 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.

UNDER THE TERMS OF THE PLAN, THE PARTICIPANTS ARE ENTITLED TO BENEFITS IF THEY REMAIN EMPLOYED BY THE CREDIT UNION UNTIL A PREDETERMINED TIME. THESE BENEFITS ARE BASED ON ELEMENTS OF THE CREDIT UNION'S LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN, WHICH CONSIDERS INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE, AS WELL AS THE OVERALL PERFORMANCE OF THE CREDIT UNION, IN DETERMINATION OF EMPLOYEE BENEFITS. IF THESE EMPLOYEES BECOME FULLY DISABLED AS DEFINED IN THE AGREEMENT, ACCRUED BENEFITS ARE IMMEDIATELY PAYABLE. THE BENEFITS ARE SUBJECT TO FORFEITURE IF EMPLOYMENT IS TERMINATED FOR CAUSE AS DEFINED IN THE AGREEMENT. THE FOLLOWING WERE CONTRIBUTIONS MADE DURING 2024: BRETT MARTINEZ - $412,785 RONALD FELDER - $201,895 ANTHONY E HILDESHEIM - $258,982 MISHEL KAUFMAN - $144,639 AARON COLLIER - $59,964 MICHELLE ANDERSON - $35,480 THOMAS HUBERT - $105,281 DEIDRE HOLMES THOMPSON - $85,870 TODD LINDEMANN - $99,833 KRISTEN MAHLMANN - $120,179 TIMOTHY BATES - $38,215 JENNIFER BOYLE - $85,035 MATTHEW MARTIN - $46,116 BRYAN HAAS - $43,404 THE FOLLOWING EMPLOYEES RECEIVED DISTRIBUTIONS FROM THIS PLAN DURING 2024: ANTHONY HILDSHEIM - $258,982 MISHEL KAUFMAN - $189,118 KRISTEN MAHLMANN - $154,823 THE FOLLOWING EMPLOYEE RECEIVED A SEVERANCE PAYMENT DURING 2024: KRISTINA DERKOS - $529,039 SPLIT DOLLAR PLAN: THE CREDIT UNION HAS GRANTED NOTES RECEIVABLE FOR LIFE INSURANCE PREMIUM PAYMENTS TO SELECT SENIOR MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL. THE NOTES ARE COLLATERALIZED BY THE ASSIGNMENT OF THE POLICY DEATH BENEFITS AND CASH VALUES, OF EACH RESPECTIVE LIFE INSURANCE POLICY. THE POLICIES ARE OWNED BY THE EXECUTIVE(S) WHO HAVE SOLE CONTROL OVER THE LISTED BENEFICIARIES FOR AMOUNTS NOT SECURED BY THE ASSIGNMENTS. AT THE TIME OF RETIREMENT, THE NOTE BECOMES DUE AND PAYABLE AND CAN BE PAID WITH THE CASH VALUE OF THE LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES, OR WITH OTHER PERSONAL FUNDS AT THE EXECUTIVE'S DISCRETION. THE LOANS ARE CONSIDERED NONRECOURSE AND AS SUCH, THE CREDIT UNION HAS RECORDED THE BALANCE AS THE LOWER OF THE OUTSTANDING LOAN BALANCE, PLUS ACCRUED INTEREST, OR THE CSV OF THE LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES.
