“Conflict of interest review lcpa's directors and officers as well as certain other key persons may, from time to time, be associated, either directly or indirectly, with individuals, companies or other entities that might be under consideration to engage in transactions or participate in other arrangements with lcpa. To address this possibility and the specific statutory requirements of the new york not-for-profit corporation law, lcpa has a conflict of interest policy. Among other things, this policy provides for those covered by it (principally, directors, officers and others who have officer-like responsibilities, manage lincoln center or a segment of lcpa representing a substantial portion of lcpa's activities, income or assets, or control or determine a substantial portion of lcpa's capital expenditures or operating budget) to complete a related party questionnaire prior to election or appointment (or as soon thereafter as possible) and to update the questionnaire annually and whenever there is a change of circumstances. In addition, if a person covered by the policy becomes aware of any related party transaction (as defined in the policy), the policy provides for the person to promptly disclose this information, and the person will be recused from consideration of any transaction or arrangement that is a related party transaction with respect to them. The policy also provides for certain co-investment relationships to be disclosed, and a disinterested review of the circumstances may result in a determination to require recusal. The policy provides for any approval of a related party transaction to be made by a majority of the disinterested members of the lcpa audit committee.”

“Compensation review compensation for the president/ceo is set pursuant to a written multi-year agreement, approved by the board and/or the personnel and executive compensation committee. Compensation levels and other terms for the president/ceo are reviewed and re-evaluated from time to time, including in conjunction with the decision to extend or renew the president's employment agreement. For the compensation reported on this return, this review was undertaken in 2022 and 2023. Compensation for the executive leadership team (other than the president/ceo) is determined by the president/ceo, generally on an annual basis, on approval of the personnel and executive compensation committee. For the compensation reported on this return, this review was undertaken in 2022 and 2023. Periodically, the organization retains an independent compensation consultant to provide comparability data for similarly qualified persons in functionally comparable positions at similarly situated organizations. This data is used by the board and/or the personnel and executive compensation committee in the periodic reviews described above. The 990 tax returns of such organizations are also considered. The board appoints independent members of the board to sit as a personnel and executive compensation committee, and its deliberations, decisions and approvals regarding compensation are recorded in confidential minutes.”
