BUSINESS CLASS OR CHARTER TRAVEL - SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND TRUSTEES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR BUSINESS CLASS SEATS WHEN TRAVELING ON AUTHORIZED BUSINESS.

THE INSTITUTION'S WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY, ACORN LEASING, LLC, OWNS A CORPORATE AIRCRAFT TO FACILITATE THE BUSINESS TRAVEL OF SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND TRUSTEES. THE BOARD HAS ADOPTED A POLICY THAT PROHIBITS ANY NON-BUSINESS USE OF THE AIRCRAFT. WHEN APPLICABLE, IMPUTED INCOME HAS BEEN REPORTED AS TAXABLE COMPENSATION FOR ANY COMPANIONS OF LISTED PERSONS WHO ARE NOT TRAVELING FOR A BUSINESS PURPOSE.

IN SUCH CASES, THE COST OF THE FLIGHT (IF THE TRAVEL WAS VIA COMMERCIAL CARRIER) OR THE APPROPRIATE AMOUNT OF IMPUTED INCOME (PURSUANT TO TAX REGULATIONS REGARDING PERSONAL USE OF CORPORATE AIRCRAFT) HAS BEEN TREATED AS A TAXABLE BENEFIT AND REPORTED AS COMPENSATION.
