“The organization requires the board of directors and officers to complete a conflict of interest disclosure statement annually. The board as a whole is responsible for oversight of the policy, and monitoring for any potential conflicts. Should any potential conflicts of interest be disclosed, the board member or officer would be asked to refrain from participation in any deliberation or decision with regard to matters affected by the relationship.”

“BSF International LLC does not compensate any of its officers, directors or key employees. Therefore, Lines 15a and 15b were answered no in accordance with the instructions. Some of the officers are compensated, however, by Bible Study Fellowship (BSF), a related organization. The compensation committee of the BSF board of directors determines compensation for the CEO, top executives, and key employees. Comparability data provided by the HR manager is used in the process and the decisions are subject to board approval and are documented in the board minutes.
