VERISIGHT'S POINT OF CONTACT FOR THIS STUDY WAS THE NEIGHBORHOOD FINANCE CORPORATION EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. THE COMPLETED MARKET ANALYSIS WAS REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AS REASONABLE, ACCURATE AND COMPLETE. THE REPORT OUTCOMES WERE DISCUSSED IN A CLOSED SESSION OF THE 2014 AUGUST EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING AND THE AUGUST BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING WITHOUT THE KEY EXECUTIVES PRESENT AT EITHER SESSION. THE REPORT WAS FINALIZED IN THE SEPTEMBER 2014 BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING. THIS REPORT IS NOW USED AS THE KEY EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION BENCHMARK FOR COMPARISON WITH FUTURE KEY EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION CHANGES. NOTE EACH YEAR THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR APPROVING ALL MANAGEMENT COMPENSATION LEVELS, INCLUDING THE KEY EXECUTIVES. NO CHANGE TO MANAGEMENT COMPENSATION IS MADE WITHOUT EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE APPROVAL. THE LEVEL OF INCREASE FOR EMPLOYEE PAY RATES IS DETERMINED BY THE NFC BUDGET, WHICH IS APPROVED BY THE BOARD. THE REASONABLENESS OF THE RATE INCREASES IS OBTAINED AFTER AN INFORMAL DISCUSSION WITH VERISIGHT, INC. ACTUAL INCREASES ARE PERFORMANCE BASED WITHIN THE BUDGETED AMOUNT.
