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
TAX INDEMNIFICATION AND GROSS-UP PAYMENTS: TWO LISTED PERSONS RECEIVED GROSS-UP PAYMENTS ON CERTAIN FRINGE BENEFITS AVAILABLE TO ALL EMPLOYEES, AND ALL SUCH PAYMENTS WERE TREATED AS TAXABLE INCOME.
PART I, LINE 3
COMPENSATION IS BASED ON PERFORMANCE AND IS DETERMINED BY COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD IN CONSULTATION WITH AN INDEPENDENT AND HIGHLY EXPERIENCED OUTSIDE COMPENSATION EXPERT. THE INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION EXPERT ADVISES THE COMMITTEE ON WHAT IS REASONABLE COMPENSATION FOR THE DEMANDS OF THE ROLE, BASED ON EXHAUSTIVE ANALYSIS OF COMPENSATION AT ORGANIZATIONS OF SIMILAR SIZE, SCOPE AND REACH. WWF MAKES COMPENSATION DETERMINATIONS WITHIN THESE GUIDEPOSTS. BOARD MEMBERS INVOLVED IN COMPENSATION DETERMINATIONS ARE UNRELATED TO AND INDEPENDENT OF THOSE WHOSE COMPENSATION IS BEING DETERMINED. COMPENSATION DECISIONS ARE BASED ON EXPERT-PROVIDED COMPARABILITY DATA AND DOCUMENTED CONTEMPORANEOUSLY.
PART I, LINE 7
THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES CERTAIN EXECUTIVES AND EMPLOYEES WITH NON-FIXED BONUS PAYMENTS ON THE BASIS OF PERFORMANCE

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.
