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.

Schedule J

Answered yes

  • 3 · Approval by the board or compensation committee
  • 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment

Answered no

  • 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan
  • 4c · Equity-based compensation arrangement
  • 5a · Pay contingent on this organization's revenues
  • 5b · Pay contingent on a related organization's revenues
  • 6a · Pay contingent on this organization's net earnings
  • 6b · Pay contingent on a related organization's net earnings
  • 7 · Other non-fixed payments
  • 8 · Paid under the initial-contract exception

The filer's explanations (Part III)

PART I, LINE 3
COMPENSATION FOR THE PRESIDENT AND OFFICERS IS SUBJECT TO STATUTORY LIMITS. THE LSC ACT AUTHORIZES LSC TO PAY THE PRESIDENT AND OFFICERS A BASE SALARY NOT TO EXCEED THE EXECUTIVE SCHEDULE LEVEL V RATE, PLUS APPLICABLE LOCALITY PAY FOR THE WASHINGTON, DC METROPOLITAN AREA. THE PRESIDENT'S EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT INCORPORATES THIS FORMULA, AND THE OFFICE COMPENSATION IS SIMILARLY CAPPED BY LSC BYLAWS.

THE SEVERANCE PAYMENT WAS A LUMP SUM AND WAS NOT PURSUANT TO A FIXED FORMULA. BRISTOW HARDIN SEPARATED FROM LSC ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2023. UPON HIS DEPARTURE, LSC PAID MR. HARDIN A SEVERANCE PACKAGE TOTALING $71,450, EQUIVALENT TO 24 WEEKS OF HIS REGULAR BASE SALARY. THE SEVERANCE PAYMENT WAS MADE AS A LUMP SUM AND WAS NOT MADE PURSUANT TO A FIXED FORMULA.

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.
