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.

The filer's explanations (Part III)

Schedule J, Part I, Line 4b Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan
The Nonqualified Retirement Plan for Employees of the related organization, Kansas University Endowment Association (the "Nonqualified Plan'), is a supplemental nonqualified retirement plan described in Internal Revenue Code section 457(f) that provides benefits in excess of the limits imposed by Internal Revenue Code sections 401(a)(17) and 415 under The Kansas University Endowment Association's qualified retirement plan. A participant's Nonqualified Plan benefit vests on the participant's attainment of age 65, and the benefit is paid in a lump sum within 60 days following the participant's termination of employment. During the year, two executive officers, one key employee and one highest compensated employee participated in the Nonqualified Plan and had deferred benefits reported in Sch. J, Part II, column C in the amounts of $19,435 for Daniel J. Martin, $29,677 for James G. Clarke, $20,240 for Nancy Jackson and $836 for Stacy D. Nuss.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 3 Compensation paid by related organization
See Schedule O statement for Part VI, Section B, Line 15, for discussion of compensation of the organization's officers by a related organization.
