For Mr. Marrazzo, options in the KEYSOP became due beginning with his 65th birthday in 2014 and will continue through 2018. Compensation included in Column D is reported in accordance with IRS guidelines, which require that all not-for-profit organizations report deferred employee compensation both in the year that it is earned and then again in the year that it is disbursed. As a result, included in the W-2 compensation for Mr. Marrazzo is $49,378 of payments associated with options exercised under the KEYSOP. WHYY previously included the value of these options in Mr. Marrazzos compensation in prior years and therefore the value of the payments is not additional compensation to him for the 2017 calendar year covered by the W-2 reported here. |
