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.

Schedule J

  • 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan

THESE BENEFITS ARE PROVIDED THROUGH A NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN, UNDER WHICH A PORTION OF THE BENEFITS BEING EARNED ARE SUBJECT TO A "SUBSTANTIAL RISK OF FORFEITURE." THE SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT BENEFITS ARE STRUCTURED TO PROVIDE A RETENTION INCENTIVE THAT HAS BEEN DETERMINED BY THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF CMB'S BOARD ("COMMITTEE") TO BE OF SUBSTANTIAL VALUE TO THE ORGANIZATION. THE COMMITTEE APPROVES ALL RETIREMENT BENEFITS, TOGETHER WITH ALL OTHER FORMS OF COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS FOR THESE AND OTHER EXECUTIVES, IN A MANNER INTENDED TO QUALIFY FOR THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS UNDER THE INTERMEDIATE SANCTION'S RULES OF FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAW.

THE ADJUSTMENT CAN BE AN UPWARD OR DOWNWARD ADJUSTMENT BASED ON VARIOUS PERFORMANCE FACTORS OR ON FACTORS THAT WILL ASSURE THAT FINAL INCENTIVE COMPENSATION AWARDS ARE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE ORGANIZATION AND APPROPRIATELY REFLECT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE ORGANIZATION. REFER TO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE COMMITTEE INCLUDED IN SCHEDULE O. PART II, COLUMN B (II): BONUS AND INCENTIVE COMPENSATION - CERTAIN KEY PERSONS EMPLOYED BY COVENANT LIVING AND CMB ARE ELIGIBLE FOR INCENTIVE COMPENSATION AS DETERMINED BY THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF EITHER THE COVENANT LIVING OR CMB'S BOARD BASED ON WHERE THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE EMPLOYED.
