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
CHARTER TRAVEL IS PERMITTED WHERE A COMMERCIAL ALTERNATIVE DOES NOT EXIST. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN CI STAFF MUST TRAVEL TO REMOTE REGIONS THAT ARE NOT PRACTICABLY ACCESSIBLE BY COMMERCIAL TRANSPORTATION, THE USE OF CHARTERED CARRIERS MAY BE PERMITTED. CHARTER TRAVEL IS ALSO PERMITTED IN CASES WHERE CI STAFF MUST ACCOMPANY KEY DONORS, MEMBERS OF THE PRESS, OR DIGNITARIES IN THE COURSE OF CI BUSINESS. EXCEPTIONS TO THE CHARTER TRAVEL POLICY ARE ALLOWABLE ONLY WITH PRIOR WRITTEN APPROVAL FROM THE SENIOR DIRECTOR OF COMPLIANCE AND RISK MANAGEMENT. CHARTER TRAVEL THAT INCLUDES A US OR FOREIGN BASED GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL MUST ALSO BE REVIEWED IN ADVANCE BY THE GENERAL COUNSEL'S OFFICE TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE FOREIGN CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT. BOATS CHARTERED FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH OR SIMILAR PROJECT-RELATED PURPOSES ARE NOT CONSIDERED CHARTERED TRAVEL FOR PURPOSES OF THIS POLICY. GENERALLY, ALL AIR TRAVEL MUST BE BY COACH CLASS USING THE MOST DIRECT COST-EFFECTIVE FARE AVAILABLE. CI WILL NOT REIMBURSE FIRST CLASS TRAVEL, EXCEPT IN HIGHLY EXCEPTIONAL CASES SUCH AS MEDICAL EMERGENCY OR MEDICALLY REQUIRED AS MANAGED BY HEALTH PROVIDER AND COUNTRY HR. THE CEO IS PERMITTED TO TRAVEL FIRST OR BUSINESS CLASS DUE TO THE FREQUENCY AND LENGTH OF THE TRIPS REQUIRED. AS IS STANDARD FOR INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS, CI PROVIDES HOUSING ALLOWANCES TO CERTAIN STAFF WHEN TEMPORARILY ASSIGNING THEM TO WORK IN COUNTRIES OTHER THAN THEIR COUNTRY OF ORIGIN OR PERMANENT RESIDENCE. THE PURPOSE OF THIS ALLOWANCE IS TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE AND COMFORTABLE HOUSING IN THE HOST LOCATION IN LINE WITH HOST COUNTRY'S HOUSING OPTIONS. DURING THE YEAR, JULIUS COURT, RICHARD JEO, AND MARK ERDMANN RECEIVED $24,000, $42,000 AND $24,000 IN HOUSING ALLOWANCES, RESPECIVELY. THESE ALLOWANCES ARE INCLUDED IN THE AMOUNTS UNDER SCHEDULE J, PART II. FOR INTERNATIONAL ASSIGNEES, CI ALSO PAYS LOCAL TAX OBLIGATIONS ON BEHALF OF THE EMPLOYEES DUE IN THEIR HOST COUNTRY. INTERNATIONAL ASSIGNEES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TAXES DUE IN THEIR HOME COUNTRY. IN 2024, CI PAID HOST TAX OBLIGATIONS TO EXPATRIATE STAFF MEMBERS SEBASTIAN TROENG, JULIUS COURT, RICHARD JEO, AND MARK ERDMANN IN THE AMOUNT OF $109,759, $250,558, $75,163 AND $125,367, RESPECTIVELY. THESE TAX PAYMENTS ARE INCLUDED IN THE AMOUNTS UNDER SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMN B (III) AS OTHER REPORTABLE COMPENSATION.
PART I, LINE 4B
CI IMPLEMENTED A NON-QUALIFIED SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN (SERP) UNDER SECTION 457(F), WHICH WAS APPROVED BY THE CI COMPENSATION AND MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE OF THE COMPANY'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS. UNDER THIS PLAN, SANJAYAN MUTTULINGAM, CEO, AND DANIELA RAIK RECEIVED $100,000 AND $50,000, RESPECTIVELY, IN DEFERRED COMPENSATION THIS YEAR. EACH COMPANY CONTRIBUTION PLUS INTEREST ARE SUBJECT TO A THREE-YEAR CLIFF VESTING SCHEDULE. SANJAYAN MUTTULINGAM, CEO, RECEIVED A PAYMENT FROM 457(F) PLAN IN THE AMOUNT OF $200,000.

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.
