|---|---|
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 2 | THOMAS H. LEE AND ANN TENENBAUM HAVE A FAMILY RELATIONSHIP. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11 | THE LINCOLN CENTER 2014 FORM 990 WAS PREPARED BY LINCOLN CENTER'S FINANCE DEPARTMENT AND REVIEWED BY ITS GENERAL COUNSEL AND ITS INDEPENDENT AUDITOR KPMG, WHO ALSO SIGNS THE RETURN AS PAID PREPARER. THE LINCOLN CENTER AUDIT COMMITTEE REVIEWS AND APPROVES THE 990 PRIOR TO ITS FILING ON BEHALF OF THE LINCOLN CENTER BOARD OF DIRECTORS. THE AUDIT COMMITTEE HAS REVIEWED AND UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED THE LINCOLN CENTER 2014 FORM 990. A COPY OF THE RETURN WAS PROVIDED TO THE FULL BOARD PRIOR TO FILING. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C | MEMBERS OF LINCOLN CENTER'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SENIOR MANAGEMENT MAY, FROM TIME TO TIME, BE ASSOCIATED, EITHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, WITH COMPANIES DOING BUSINESS WITH LINCOLN CENTER. FOR SENIOR MANAGEMENT, LINCOLN CENTER REQUIRES ANNUAL DISCLOSURE OF SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL INTERESTS IN, OR EMPLOYMENT OR CONSULTING RELATIONSHIPS WITH, ENTITIES DOING BUSINESS WITH LINCOLN CENTER. WHEN SUCH RELATIONSHIPS EXIST, MEASURES ARE TAKEN TO APPROPRIATELY MANAGE THE ACTUAL OR PERCEIVED CONFLICT IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF LINCOLN CENTER, AND TO UNDERTAKE PERIODIC REVIEW OF CONTINUING SUCH RELATIONSHIPS. LINCOLN CENTER HAS A WRITTEN CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY THAT REQUIRES, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THAT NO MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS CAN PARTICIPATE IN ANY DECISION IN WHICH HE OR SHE (OR RELATED PARTY) HAS A MATERIAL FINANCIAL INTEREST. EACH DIRECTOR IS REQUIRED TO CERTIFY COMPLIANCE WITH THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY ON AN ANNUAL BASIS AND INDICATE WHETHER LINCOLN CENTER DOES BUSINESS WITH AN ENTITY IN WHICH THE DIRECTOR HAS A RELATED PARTY RELATIONSHIP OR MATERIAL FINANCIAL INTEREST. WHEN SUCH A RELATIONSHIP EXISTS, MEASURES ARE TAKEN TO MITIGATE ANY ACTUAL OR PERCEIVED CONFLICT, INCLUDING REQUIRING THAT SUCH TRANSACTIONS BE CONDUCTED AT ARM'S LENGTH, FOR GOOD AND SUFFICIENT CONSIDERATION, BASED ON TERMS THAT ARE FAIR AND REASONABLE TO AND FOR THE BENEFIT OF LINCOLN CENTER, AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE CONFLICT OF INTEREST LAWS. NO SUCH ASSOCIATIONS ARE CONSIDERED TO BE SIGNIFICANT. THE TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT MUST FURTHER LINCOLN CENTER'S CHARITABLE PURPOSES, AND DOES NOT RESULT IN PRIVATE INUREMENT, AN EXCESS BENEFIT TRANSACTION OR IMPERMISSIBLE PRIVATE BENEFIT UNDER LAWS APPLICABLE TO ORGANIZATIONS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAX UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 | COMPENSATION FOR SENIOR MANAGEMENT BELOW THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER LEVEL IS DETERMINED ANNUALLY BY THE PRESIDENT IN CONSULTATION WITH THE EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT, HUMAN RESOURCES AND LINCOLN CENTER OPERATIONS, AND REVIEWED WITH THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD. PERIODICALLY, THE ORGANIZATION RETAINS AN INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT TO PROVIDE COMPARABILITY DATA FOR SIMILARLY QUALIFIED PERSONS IN FUNCTIONALLY COMPARABLE POSITIONS AT SIMILARLY SITUATED ORGANIZATIONS. THIS WAS LAST PERFORMED IN OCTOBER 2014. THE 990 TAX RETURNS OF SUCH ORGANIZATIONS ARE ALSO CONSIDERED. NEITHER THE PRESIDENT NOR THE EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT, HUMAN RESOURCES AND LINCOLN CENTER OPERATIONS IS INVOLVED IN THEIR OWN COMPENSATION DETERMINATION PROCESS. COMPENSATION FOR THE PRESIDENT IS SET PURSUANT TO WRITTEN MULTI-YEAR AGREEMENTS. NEW COMPENSATION LEVELS AND OTHER TERMS ARE DETERMINED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE DECISION TO EXTEND OR RENEW HIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT. IN CONJUNCTION WITH SUCH DECISIONS, THE ORGANIZATION, THROUGH ITS CHAIR OF THE BOARD, FROM TIME TO TIME, ENGAGES AN INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT TO PROVIDE COMPARABILITY DATA FOR SIMILARLY QUALIFIED PERSONS IN FUNCTIONALLY COMPARABLE POSITIONS AT SIMILARLY SITUATED ORGANIZATIONS. THIS WAS LAST PERFORMED IN OCTOBER 2014. THE 990 TAX RETURNS OF SUCH ORGANIZATIONS ARE ALSO CONSIDERED. INDEPENDENT MEMBERS OF THE BOARD SIT AS A COMPENSATION COMMITTEE (THE "AUTHORIZED BODY") AT SUCH INTERVALS AND ITS DELIBERATIONS, DECISIONS AND APPROVAL REGARDING COMPENSATION ARE RECORDED IN CONFIDENTIAL MINUTES TAKEN BY THE CHAIRMAN. NEITHER THE PRESIDENT NOR ANY MEMBER OF MANAGEMENT IS PRESENT AT SUCH MEETINGS, WHICH ARE HELD IN EXECUTIVE SESSION. ALL PARTICIPATING MEMBERS OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ARE INDEPENDENT UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY. LINCOLN CENTER COMPLIES WITH THE "REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION" PROCEDURES FOR DETERMINING THAT COMPENSATION IS REASONABLE UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 4958. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION C, LINE 19 | LINCOLN CENTER MAKES ITS ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND 990 AVAILABLE VIA THE ORGANIZATION'S WEBSITE. OTHER GOVERNING DOCUMENTS ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. |
