| Pt VI, Line 7b | Same responses as Pt VI-A, Line 7a |
| Pt VI, Line 11b | The 990 was prepared by the independent auditor and after it was reviewed by the Sr VP CFO, it was reviewed, discussed, and approved by the Audit and Finance Committee and Executive Committees, then distributed to the Board prior to submission. |
| Pt VI, Line 12c | A member of the Board of Directors shall abstain from voting or attempting to influence the vote on any matter before the Board that places him or her in a conflict of interest. The Board member shall disclose the conflict or potential conflict as soon as he/she recognizes the conflict. If self-disclosure is not revealed, the Board President or any member of the Board of Directors can, prior to voting on a specific matter in which a potential conflict of interest exists, inquire whether any member of the Board desires to abstain from voting because of a conflict of interest. If no conflict of interest is disclosed but the President or any other member of the Board states the opinion that such a conflict exists and the challenged Board member refuses to abstain from the deliberations or voting as requested, the President shall immediately call for a vote of the Directors to determine whether the challenged Director is in a conflict of interest. If a majority of the Directors present vote to require the abstention of the challenged Director, that Director shall not be permitted to vote. Each member of the Board of Directors shall annually sign the Code of Ethics as developed by the Board, which includes full disclosure of conflicts of interest. |
| Pt VI, Line 15a | a. The Board of Directors authorized the Executive Committee to conduct the review based on the CEO's prior performance and report back with recommendations to the Board. The Executive Committee and the CEO conduct a written self-evaluation in a format developed and approved by the Board. This format included but was not limited to a statement on the organization's overall goals for the audit year (as established in the strategic plan and prior year evaluation); the CEO's contributions and challenges faced in pursuing those goals; the personal goals of the CEO (as established in the prior year evaluation) and the degree to which they had been accomplished; and new or audit year organizational and personal goals for the CEO from which the audit year evaluation will be based. The instrument included a breakdown of the total compensation provided at that time. In reviewing compensation, the Committee compared it with relevant data from 1 or more the following sources: the NYS Nonprofit Compensation Profile; the NPCC New York City Compensation Study; GuideStar compensation data; and national study data reported in the Chronicle of Philanthropy. In an extended meeting, the Committee met with the CEO to review the self-assessment that was submitted and then met independently without him present to discuss. The Board then called him back to provide their analysis of his performance and their recommendations. Those recommendations were then presented to the Board of Directors, who met independently in executive session without the CEO present, for discussion, modification and approval. After approval, the Board met with the CEO to review their conclusion and decisions. b. The CEO conducts an evaluation of the Chief Operating Officer (COO), Senior Vice President Financial Management Group (COO), Senior Vice President/Chief Fiscal Officer (CFO). The COO and CFO complete a self-evaluation form similiar to the one required for the CEO. The COO and CFO then meet individually with the CEO to review the forms. CEO has the authority to set the total compensation of the COO and the CFO within the budget constraints established by the Board. |

In November 2015, an application for merging the Governance Matters Corporation into the VCG Corporation was filed with the NYS Office of the Attorney General. Upon regulatory approval of the merger, the resulting corporation will be named Governance Matters, Inc.. |
