Return Reference Explanation
Form 990, Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) Footnote Rotary International and the Foundation have each received a favorable determination letter from the IRS stating that each is exempt from federal income taxes under the provisions of Sections 501(c)(4) and 501(c)(3), respectively, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, except for income taxes pertaining to unrelated business income. PPH files a corporation income tax return, but is not treated as an insurance company for federal income tax purposes as it is a captive insurance company. Accordingly, premiums (from Rotary) and losses and loss adjustment expenses are excluded from the calculation of taxable income. There was no liability for income tax as of 30 June 2016 and 2015. Infotech is a private limited company registered in India and, as such, is a taxable corporation in India. Under U.S. tax regulations, Infotech is treated as a foreign partnership and all operations are included in Rotary's U.S. tax filings. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance that requires tax effects from uncertain positions to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements only if the position is more likely than not to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. Management has determined there are no material uncertain positions that require recognition in the consolidated financial statements. Additionally, no provision for income taxes is reflected in the consolidated financial statements and there is no interest or penalties recognized in the consolidated statements of activities or consolidated statements of financial position. The fiscal years ended 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 are still open to audit for both federal and Illinois purposes.

Supplemental Information
Provide the information, explanation, or descriptions required for Part I, lines 1a, 1b, 3, 4a, 4b, 4c, 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b, 7, and 8, and for Part II. Also complete this part for any additional information.
Return Reference Explanation
Form 990, Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a First Class or Charter Travel Uncompensated volunteer leaders conduct extensive international travel on behalf of the organization. Rotary International provides business-class airfare for the Board of Directors and the General Secretary. Business-class is available in most markets, but if it is not, first-class or economy airfares are substituted. The President and President-Elect are permitted to use first-class travel, although they may choose business-class or economy travel.
Form 990, Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a Housing Allowance or Residence for Personal Use For efficiency, residences near RI headquarters are provided for Rotary International President and President-Elect. Personal use of the residences is reported as taxable income to the recipients. In addition, RI reimburses the President and President-Elect for certain costs associated with maintaining their personal residences while they are traveling on behalf of the association. These expense reimbursements are taxable to the recipients.
Form 990, Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a Travel for Companions Rotary International provides for spouse travel if spouse participation assists the organization in achieving its mission. The Rotarian and spouse are required to submit documentation detailing the activities and supporting the bona fide business purpose of the travel. Management reviews the documentation during the expense reimbursement approval process.
Form 990, Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a Tax Indemnification and Gross-Up Payments Rotary International does not compensate the President and President-Elects services other than the reimbursement of certain personal expenses related to their services (i.e., the cost to maintain their personal residence, health insurance, etc.) as defined in the Rotary Code of Policies. The expense reimbursements are taxable to the recipients. It is the board policy to pay the presidents for the taxes associated with this income.
Form 990, Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a Health or Social Club Dues or Initiation Fees For the President and President-Elect, expenses related to maintaining club memberships are included under the Rotary Code of Policies for personal expenses reimbursement. These expense reimbursements are taxable to the recipient.
Form 990, Schedule J, Part I, Line 4a Severance Payment or Change-of-Control Payment One individual ended their employment with the organization and received a severance payment during calendar year 2015. Due to a confidentiality agreement, neither the name nor the amount will be listed. However, the amount has been included in Schedule J, Part II Reportable Compensation.
Form 990, Part VII and Schedule J Highest Compensated Employees Rotary International has a highest compensated employee at its office in Zurich, Switzerland, which is currently undisclosed due to potential infringement of local data privacy laws. Salaries for staff at the International Offices are established in their local currency and translated to US dollars for reporting purposes, resulting in potentially large fluctuations in the US dollar reportable equivalent for compensation.

The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise. These other program services support the Object of Rotary by helping Rotary clubs and districts achieve their service goals, expand Rotary membership, and promote their activities to the media and general public. Form 990, Part V, Line 2a Number of Employees on Form W-3 The number of employees reported is the total employee count for the filing organization. While Rotary International is the common paymaster for Rotary International and The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International (TRF), the number of employees does not include the employee count for TRF.

Form 990, Part V, Line 6b Express Statement that such Contributions or Gifts Were Not Tax Deductible Rotary International does not directly solicit contributions from the general public. The member clubs of Rotary International, also Section 501(c)(4) entities, paid membership dues which are reported on Form 990, Part VIII, LIne 1b as contribution revenue. As such, Rotary International does not directly provide an express statement.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6 Members or Stockholders The membership of Rotary International consists of Rotary clubs organized and operating in accordance with the RI constitution and bylaws.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7A Persons Who May Elect One or More Members of the Governing Body The procedures for the selection of Rotary International (RI) officers are stated in the RI bylaws. Nominating committees select nominees for the Board of Directors, including the president. Director nominating committees in each of the 34 worldwide RI zones nominate a director from the membership of the clubs in that zone every fourth year according to a schedule established by the RI Board. Additionally, a 17 member nominating committee for president nominates a president each year (on a rotating basis each zone elects a member of a club in the zone to serve on the nominating committee). There are opportunities for clubs to put forward candidates to challenge the nominated candidates. Each club may vote in the election for president and directors, which takes place at the annual RI Convention.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Review of Form 990 Rotary International's Form 990 is prepared by an independent certified public accounting firm. A draft of the Form 990 is reviewed by the Controller and the Chief Financial Officer. Upon completion of the review process, the return is provided to the Board of Directors, signed by the CFO and filed with the IRS.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c Conflict of Interest Policy All directors must disclose any family or business relationships with other directors, trustees of the Rotary Foundation, key employees, or highest compensated independent contractors of Rotary International and The Rotary Foundation as identified annually by the General Secretary. To comply with this policy, directors submit an annual Potential Conflict of Interest Statement, on which they report any previously undisclosed potential conflicts of interest. The RI Executive Committee reviews these reports and works to resolve any actual or potential conflicts. If no resolution is reached, the Committee refers the matter to the Board of Directors and an appropriate action will be taken. A potential conflict of interest is deemed to exist if a majority of directors voting reach an affirmative decision. The director with the potential conflict of interest shall not be present for the vote. In addition, the Operations Review Committee monitors compliance with the Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest Policy of the organization and the Board of Directors. Key employees and other employees in a position of influence are also required to make annual conflict of interest disclosures.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Lines 15a & 15b Determination of Compensation The process for determining compensation for the General Secretary, Deputy General Secretary and General Managers was last reviewed in fiscal year 2016. RIs People & Talent team collects data on total compensation (i.e., base salary and benefits) from several sources, including independent compensation consultants, salary surveys, internet sites, professional publications, and information from similar organizations in the same geographic area. People & Talent provides a salary range for the General Secretary, Deputy General Secretary, and General Managers positions and the Operations Review Committee (acting as a compensation advisory committee) and the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors review salary ranges and salary increase parameters for reasonableness. The General Secretarys compensation is based on the terms in the General Secretarys contract. The General Secretary approves salary increases for the Executive Management Team within the salary ranges approved by the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors. This process is contemporaneously documented.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 Organizational Documents Available to the Public Rotary International makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and audited financial statements available to the public on the organization's website, www.rotary.org.
