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
PART I, LINE 1A IN MARCH 2022, THE PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER RECOMMENDED TO THE ISO NEW ENGLAND BOARD OF DIRECTORS, AND BOARD SUBSEQUENTLY APPROVED AND AUTHORIZED A ONE-TIME BONUS PAYMENT OF $1,000 THAT WAS GROSSED UP FOR TAX PURPOSES TO ALL EMPLOYEES EXCEPT THE COMPANY'S OFFICERS. HOWEVER, LORRAINE BRADY, WHO IS THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY, DID RECEIVE THE BONUS. THE $1,000 BONUS AND TAX GROSS UP BENEFIT PAID INCLUDED KEY EMPLOYEES AND HIGHEST COMPENSATED EMPLOYEES, REPORTED ON PART VII SECTION A. DURING 2022 THREE ISO NEW ENGLAND KEY EMPLOYEES WERE RECOGNIZED FOR AN EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION AWARD UNDER THE COMPANY'S EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION PROGRAM. THE TAXABLE EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION PROGRAM IS AVAILABLE TO ALL EMPLOYEES WITH EXCEPTION OF THE CEO, EXECUTIVE/SENIOR VICE PRESIDENTS, AND VICE PRESIDENTS. THE EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION PROGRAM RECOGNIZES EMPLOYEE ACHIEVEMENTS OR ACCOMPLISHMENTS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE OVERALL OBJECTIVE OF THE BUSINESS. IT ENCOURAGES EMPLOYEES TO EXCEL IN ISO CORE COMPETENCIES, EITHER INDIVIDUALLY OR THROUGH TEAMS. EACH OF THESE AWARDS HAD AN AFTER TAX VALUE OF $150 AND A RELATED APPROXIMATE $64 TAX GROSS UP.
PART I, LINE 3 COMPENSATION IS APPROVED IN ADVANCE BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS (THE "BOARD"). SCHEDULE O, FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 PROVIDES A COMPLETE DESCRIPTION OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF COMPENSATION FOR ISO NEW ENGLAND'S CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, AND OTHER OFFICERS OF THE COMPANY.
PART I, LINE 7 ISO NEW ENGLAND CURRENTLY ADMINISTERS TWO INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLANS THAT BOTH PROVIDE FOR NON-FIXED PAYMENTS: AN ANNUAL PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN (THE "API PLAN") AND A LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN (THE DEFERRED PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN, "DPI PLAN"). SUBJECT TO CERTAIN ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA, MOST EMPLOYEES MAY RECEIVE AN API PLAN AWARD BASED UPON A FORMULA THAT TAKES INTO ACCOUNT ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE, INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE, ANNUAL BASE PAY (AS DECEMBER 31ST OF THE PLAN YEAR) AND A GRADE-RELATED SALARY PERCENTAGE. ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE IS MEASURED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF ISO NEW ENGLAND (THE "BOARD") AGAINST GOALS AND OBJECTIVES DEVELOPED BY THE COMPENSATION AND HUMAN RESOURCES COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD (THE "COMMITTEE"), OTHER BOARD COMMITTEES, AND THE BOARD AT THE COMMENCEMENT OF EACH PLAN YEAR. THE INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE OF AN OFFICER IS EVALUATED BY THE COMMITTEE AND THE BOARD. THE FINAL API PLAN AWARD FOR AN OFFICER IS CALCULATED AND PAID ONCE THE BOARD DETERMINES THE SCORES FOR ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE AND INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE FOR THE PLAN YEAR. FOR EXAMPLE, PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT WITH THE FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION'S OFFICE OF ENFORCEMENT, THERE WAS A REDUCTION TO THE API PAYMENTS MADE TO OFFICERS IN MARCH 2023 TO PAY FOR A PENALTY THAT WAS PAID BY ISO NEW ENGLAND INC. IN OCTOBER 2022. THE DPI PLAN AWARDS ARE AVAILABLE TO OFFICERS AND ARE BASED UPON THE ACHIEVEMENT OF ORGANIZATIONAL AND INDIVIDUAL LONG-TERM GOALS ESTABLISHED BY RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE COMMITTEE (WITH INPUT FROM OTHER BOARD COMMITTEES) AND WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE BOARD. SIMILAR TO THE API PLAN, THE DPI PLAN AWARDS ARE CALCULATED USING AN ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEE'S BASE SALARY IN EFFECT AS OF DECEMBER 31ST OF THE PLAN YEAR AND A GRADE-RELATED SALARY PERCENTAGE; HOWEVER, DPI PLAN AWARDS GENERALLY ARE PAID TWO AND ONE-HALF YEARS AFTER THE END OF THE PLAN YEAR. THE BOARD ASSESSES THE PERFORMANCE OF THE ORGANIZATION AND THE INDIVIDUAL AT THE END OF EACH PLAN YEAR, AND REASSESSES THE ORGANIZATION'S PROGRESS TOWARDS ITS LONG-TERM GOALS AND OBJECTIVES TWO AND ONE-HALF YEARS LATER, IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE CALCULATION AND PAY-OUT OF THE DPI PLAN AWARD. UNDER BOTH PLANS, ISO NEW ENGLAND RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REDUCE OR ELIMINATE PLAN AWARDS IF THE ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEE OR THE ORGANIZATION UNDERPERFORMS OR THERE IS A MAJOR COLLAPSE OF THE BULK ELECTRIC POWER SYSTEM MANAGED BY ISO NEW ENGLAND.
