| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 4 | The Marion I. and Henry J. Knott Scholarship Fund, Inc. the Corporation is a charitable organization described in Section 509a3 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as a Type I Supporting Organization. The Corporation recently made administrative and other minor changes to its organizational and governing documents: a Amended and Restated Bylaws were adopted effective October 1, 2023 and b Articles of Amendment updating the Corporations Articles of Organization were adopted effective October 1, 2023, and were accepted and approved on October 14, 2023, by the Maryland Department of Assessments & Taxation. A copy of each of those documents is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. While none of the changes effected by these documents impact the Corporations status as a Type I Supporting Organization, they are reported here in the interest of full disclosure. 1. The Corporation is a charitable organization that distributes its funds for the benefit of defined charitable beneficiaries. Among the intended beneficiaries are various educational institutions in the State of Maryland. The Corporation has updated Section 1 of its Bylaws and Item Third of its Articles of Incorporation, relating to the beneficiaries of the Corporation, as follows: The Corporation has updated the names of those specifically identified educational institutions that have changed their names since the Corporations inception. In addition to identifying as a class of beneficiaries the Catholic secondary schools currently located in the Archdiocese of Baltimore and affiliated and sanctioned by the Archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Baltimore and any others that may be established in the future and meet the same requirements, the Corporation previously a excluded those Catholic secondary schools located in Garrett, Alleghany, and Washington Counties and b specifically named the then-existing specific Catholic secondary schools that were within the Archdiocese of Baltimore and that, therefore, were permissible charitable beneficiaries. The updated Bylaws simply identify the class of permissible beneficiaries as defined previously to be the Catholic secondary schools current and future located in the Archdiocese of Baltimore and affiliated and sanctioned by the Archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Baltimore however, particular schools are no longer identified by name, and the exclusion of those Catholic secondary schools located in Garrett, Alleghany, and Washington Counties has been removed. 2. Section 1.2 of the original Bylaws had mandated various one-time grants to specified charitable organizations. Since these one-time grants have been satisfied, references to them have been removed from the Bylaws to avoid any confusion going forward. 666538, v. 2 3. The term of office of each class of Trustee was changed from four years to five years, as provided in Section 2 of the Bylaws. 4. The Trustees of the Corporation include four classes of Trustees. Under both the original and amended Bylaws, Class D Trustees are to be elected from among the descendants of Marion I. and Henry J. Knott. The revisions to the Trustee provisions in Section 2b and Appendix A of the Bylaws tweak the eligibility requirements and procedures for selecting Class D Trustees. Nevertheless, as before, the total number of Trustees in Classes A, B, and C combined the independent Trustees selected by the supported organizations must always be one more than the total number of Class D Trustees. 5. The Corporation has updated the principal office of the Corporation and its resident agent, as provided in the revised Item Fourth of the Articles of Incorporation. |
