Governance Explanations

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 6

“The organization has two classes of members: founding and regular members. Members have a right to vote on annual appointment to the board of directors. A quorum at a meeting of the members requires attendance (in person or by proxy) of both a majority of the regular members and a majority of the founding members. A majority vote of both the founding and regular members is required to constitute board action.”

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 7A

“Initially the founding members of the corporation appointed the board of directors. Subsequently, the regular and founding members each exercised a single vote to elect the members of the board of directors at the annual meeting of the organization.”

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 11B

“The form 990 is prepared by outside accountants in conjuction with the biosimiliar forum's third-party cfo and management team. The form 990 is reviewed by the biosimiliars forum president and treasurer, and made available to all directors prior to filing with the internal revenue service.”
