FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 15 & SCHEDULE J:
PACT GLOBAL MICROFINANCE FUND DOES NOT COMPENSATE ANYONE SHOWN IN PART VII OF THE FORM 990 OR SCHEDULE J, PART II. THE COMPENSATION SHOWN IN THESE SECTIONS IS PAID BY PACT, INC, THE ORGANIZATION'S RELATED ORGANIZATION. PACT GLOBAL MICROFINANCE FUND RELIES ON THE COMPENSATION DETERMINATION METHODOLOGY OF PACT, INC., PGMF'S RELATED ORGANIZATION, UNDER AN ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT. THE FOLLOWING IS THE COMPENSATION METHODOLOGY USED BY PACT, INC. PACT'S BYLAWS STATE THAT THE "SALARY OF THE PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND THE TERMS OF HIS OR HER EMPLOYMENT SHALL BE FIXED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. THE SALARIES OF ALL OTHER STAFF AND THE TERMS OF THEIR EMPLOYMENT SHALL BE FIXED BY THE PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER." CEO: PACT'S CURRENT CEO WAS HIRED IN APRIL 2009. IN CONNECTION WITH THE SEARCH FOR THE CEO, THE BOARD USED AN EXECUTIVE SEARCH FIRM. THAT FIRM, IN ASSISTING THE BOARD, CONDUCTED A COMPENSATION SURVEY AND BENCHMARKING ACTIVITIES TO DETERMINE AN APPROPRIATE MARKET-BASED COMPENSATION FOR PACT'S CEO, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT ORGANIZATION SIZE, COMPLEXITY, AND OTHER RELEVANT FACTORS. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD ULTIMATELY SET THE CEO'S SALARY, WHICH WAS INFORMED BY THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE SEARCH FIRM. THE BOARD CONDUCTS AN ANNUAL EVALUATION OF THE CEO AND AWARDS MERIT-BASED INCREASES AS DEEMED APPROPRIATE. OTHER OFFICERS OR KEY EMPLOYEES: THE CEO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COMPENSATION OF OTHER EMPLOYEES, BUT IS DIRECTLY INVOLVED ONLY IN THE HIRING AND SALARY NEGOTIATIONS OF C-LEVEL POSITIONS. IN THESE CASES, WHERE PACT IS UTILIZING A SEARCH FIRM, THE FIRM HAS PROVIDED MARKET INFORMATION TO ASSIST IN THE DETERMINATION OF APPROPRIATE COMPENSATION LEVELS. FOR KEY EMPLOYEES BEYOND THE C-SUITE, PACT'S SVP OF HUMAN RESOURCES IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SALARY DETERMINATIONS. IN MANY CASES, PACT'S EMPLOYEES ARE PAID UNDER A FEDERAL AWARD AND THE COMPENSATION IS INCLUDED IN A PROPOSAL AND IS APPROVED BY THE AWARDING AGENCY, SUBJECT TO THE AGENCY'S COMPENSATION STANDARDS. IN OTHER CASES, PACT USES A SERIES OF ANNUAL SALARY SURVEYS OF PEER ORGANIZATIONS, CONDUCTED BY AN INDUSTRY TRADE ASSOCIATION, TO INFORM SALARY LEVELS. INSIDENGO, THE TRADE ASSOCIATION OF INTERNATIONAL NGO ORGANIZATIONS, CONDUCTS THREE ANNUAL SURVEYS: SALARY AND BENEFITS SURVEY FOR HQ STAFF, US EXPATRIATE/TCN SALARY AND ALLOWANCES SURVEY, AND LOCAL NATIONAL SALARY AND BENEFITS INFORMATION SURVEY. PACT ALSO CONSULTS THE FORMS 990 OF SIMILAR ORGANIZATIONS FOR SALARY INFORMATION. ALL PACT EMPLOYEES ARE EVALUATED ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, AND MERIT-BASED INCREASES ARE DETERMINED AND AWARDED FROM AN APPROVED POOL, ADMINISTERED BY PACT'S SVP OF HUMAN RESOURCES.
