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.

PART I, LINE 4B
THE CREDIT UNION SPONSORS THE APCO EMPLOYEES CREDIT UNION EXECUTIVE PLAN. THE PLAN IS AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CREDIT UNION AND SELECTED MEMBERS OF MANAGEMENT AND IS CONSIDERED A NON-QUALIFIED AND UN-FUNDED ARRANGEMENT MAINTAINED PRIMARILY TO PROVIDE SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT BENEFITS FOR THE MEMBERS OF MANAGEMENT. THE KEY POSITIONS ELIGIBLE FOR THE SERP PLAN ARE THE PRESIDENT, VICE PRESIDENT(S), ADMINISTRATIVE MANAGER, COLLECTION MANAGER, COMPTROLLER, CUSO EXECUTIVE MANAGER, DATA PROCESSING & IT MANAGER, HR MANAGER, LOAN MANAGER AND MEMBER SERVICE MANAGER. THE PLAN EMPLOYS 100% CLIFF VESTING, WITH PARTICIPANTS REMAINING UNVESTED UNTIL ATTAINMENT OF AGE 65, WITH CERTAIN EXCEPTIONS FOR DISABILITY, ETC. PARTICIPANTS MUST RETIRE OR RESIGN BY THE FIRST DAY OF THE FOLLOWING MONTH AFTER ATTAINMENT OF AGE 65 TO QUALIFY FOR BENEFITS. HOWEVER, THE CREDIT UNION DOES NOT REQUIRE MANDATORY RETIREMENT OR RESIGNATION FROM EMPLOYMENT OF PARTICIPANTS WHO ARE NOT BONA FIDE EXECUTIVES OR HIGH POLICYMAKING EMPLOYEES FOR WHOM MANDATORY RETIREMENT CANNOT LEGALLY BE REQUIRED UNDER THE AGE DISCRIMINATION IN EMPLOYMENT ACT AND SPECIFICALLY 29 C.F.R. SECTION 1625.12. SUCH INDIVIDUALS DO NOT HAVE TO RETIRE OR RESIGN AT SUCH AGE BUT THEY WILL NOT BE ENTITLED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SERP BENEFIT UNTIL THE EMPLOYEE RETIRES. THE FULL VALUE OF A PARTICIPANT'S RETIREMENT BENEFIT IS INCLUDED IN THEIR REPORTABLE COMPENSATION ON FORM W-2 FOR THE YEAR IN WHICH THEY VEST, WHETHER OR NOT THE DISTRIBUTION IS PAID OUT DURING THAT YEAR. PURSUANT TO THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FORM 990, AMOUNTS DEFERRED BY THE EMPLOYER UNDER A SECTION 457(F) PLAN, BUT NOT SUBSTANTIALLY VESTED, ARE INCLUDED IN FORM 990 PART VII SECTION A COLUMN (F) AND SCHEDULE J (FORM 990) PART II COLUMN C. NO PARTICIPANTS IN THIS PLAN VESTED DURING 2022.
