WITH THESE INVESTMENTS, WE SAW INCREASED ENGAGEMENT ACROSS OUR DIGITAL PLATFORMS, INCLUDING OUR WEBSITE AND SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS.

| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B | KPCW FINANCE DIRECTOR AND GENERAL MANAGER REVIEW DRAFTS OF THE FORM 990. ONCE THEY HAVE SATISFIED THEMSELVES THAT THE 990 IS COMPLETE AND ACCURATE, A COPY IS DISTRIBUTED TO THE BOARD VIA EMAIL FOR THEIR REVIEW. ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS ARE INVESTIGATED AND RESOLVED BY THE FINANCE DIRECTOR AND GENERAL MANAGER WITH THE 990 PREPARERS. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C | DESCRIPTION OF CONFLICT-OF-INTEREST POLICY: IF A BOARD MEMBER HAS A PERSONAL INTEREST IN A MATTER, THEY NOTIFY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES IN WRITING. BOARD MEMBERS DETERMINE IF THEY HAVE A CONFLICT. A PERSONAL INTEREST IS DEFINED AS WHETHER A TRUSTEE HAS A PERSONAL INTEREST IN A MATTER WILL BE DETERMINED BY WHETHER THAT TRUSTEE OR AN IMMEDIATE RELATIVE OR RESIDENT IN THE SAME HOUSEHOLD, OR AN ORGANIZATION IN WHICH SUCH PERSON'S WORK OR SERVE IN A FIDUCIARY CAPACITY, WOULD HAVE A SIGNIFICANT ECONOMIC INTEREST IN A DECISION ON THE MATTER BY THE BOARD. TRUSTEES MAY NOT VOTE ON ANY MATTERS IN FRONT OF THE BOARD THEY HAVE A PERSONAL INTEREST IN. IF A BOARD MEMBER HAS A PERSONAL INTEREST, THEY LEAVE THE BOARD MEETING IF THAT MATTER IS UP FOR DISCUSSION. THAT MEMBER MAY NOT INFLUENCE DELIBERATION OR DISCUSSION OF THE MATTER. IF A CONTRACT IS PROPOSED FOR APPROVAL BY THE BOARD IN WHICH A TRUSTEE HAS A PERSONAL INTEREST, THE BOARD MUST, BY A MAJORITY VOTE OF THE DISINTERESTED DIRECTORS ENTITLED TO VOTE ON THE MATTER, DECIDE THAT KPCW WILL OR WILL NOT EXECUTE SUCH CONTRACT. IN REACHING ITS DECISION, THE BOARD MUST ADHERE TO THE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO APPROVAL OF SUCH CONTRACTS. THE CRUX OF THOSE REQUIREMENTS IS THAT TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE TERMS OF POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVES, THE PROPOSED CONTRACT IS FAIR, REASONABLE AND IN THE BEST INTEREST OF KPCW. ALL ACTION REGARDING SUCH CONTRACTS MUST BE RECORDED IN THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD. EACH BOARD MEMBER REVIEWS THE CONFLICT-OF-INTEREST POLICY ANNUALLY AND SIGNS OFF THAT THEY HAVE READ THE POLICY AND TO THE BEST OF THEIR KNOWLEDGE DO NOT HAVE A PERSONAL INTEREST, AS DEFINED IN THE POLICY. NO CONFLICTS WERE NOTED FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR. |
