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)

Schedule J, Part I, Line 4a Severance or change-of-control payment
JUNG H. KIM: OTHER REPORTABLE COMPENSATION (PART II, LINE 3B(III) INCLUDES A SEVERANCE PAYMENT OF $308,089. WILLIAM CANCE: OTHER REPORTABLE COMPENSATION OF $300,922 (PART II, LINE 3B(III)) INCLUDES A SEVERANCE PAYMENT OF $284,850. JEFF D. KLAAS: OTHER REPORTABLE COMPENSATION OF $92,018 (PART II, LINE 3B(III) INCLUDES A SEVERANCE PAYMENT OF $57,362.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 4b Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan
THE FILING ORGANIZATION MAINTAINS A SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN ("SERP"), 457(B), AND 457(F) PLANS AS PART OF THE TOTAL COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS FOR CERTAIN EXECUTIVES. THE SERP IS DESIGNED TO RESTORE CERTAIN BENEFITS THAT ARE LOST AS A RESULT OF TAX RESTRICTIONS ON BENEFITS PAYABLE FROM THE TAX-QUALIFIED DEFINED BENEFIT RETIREMENT PLAN. THE ORGANIZATION RESTORES MATCHING CONTRIBUTION BENEFITS THAT ARE LOST AS A RESULT OF TAX RESTRICTIONS ON THE FILING ORGANIZATION'S 403(B)PLAN IN THE 457(B) AND 457(F) PLANS. AS PART OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE (THE "COMMITTEE") RESPONSIBILITIES, THE COMMITTEE CONSIDERS THE NEW AND TOTAL VALUES OF ALL SERP AND 457(F) BENEFITS AS PART OF THE TOTAL COMPENSATION FOR EACH PARTICIPATING EXECUTIVE. THE COMMITTEE PROCESS IS FULLY DESCRIBED IN SCHEDULE O AS RELATED TO PART IV, LINE 15. THE SERP PLAN WAS FROZEN IN 2016, AND AS A RESULT PAYMENTS ARE NOW MADE ONLY AFTER RETIREMENT RATHER THAN IN INCREMENTAL AMOUNTS DURING THE EXECUTIVE'S SERVICE. THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUAL RECEIVED A PAYOUT DURING THE CURRENT YEAR: JEFF D. KLAAS - $16,346
Schedule J, Part II, Column (C)
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION REGARDING COMPENSATION INCLUDES DEFERRED COMPENSATION RELATED TO THE ANNUAL CHANGE IN ACTUARIAL VALUE OF A QUALIFIED DEFINED BENEFIT RETIREMENT PLAN AND A NON-QUALIFIED SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN. THE CHANGE IS CAUSED BY CHANGES IN ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS, WHICH ARE REQUIRED TO BE USED TO VALUE THE BENEFITS. PRIOR TO ACTUAL RETIREMENT, THESE ACTUARIAL (ESTIMATED) VALUES CAN INCREASE OR DECREASE FROM YEAR TO YEAR DEPENDING ON WHETHER CERTAIN ASSUMPTIONS INCREASE OR DECREASE.

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.
