determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, Team NEO may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of Team NEO and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income (UBIT). The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes also addresses de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes and accounting in interim periods. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no unrecognized tax benefits indentified or recorded as liabilities. As of December 31, 2025, the Organizations income tax years from 2022 and thereafter remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, as well as various state and local taxing authorities.

The benefit is not treated as taxable compensation as it is for business purposes only. Pt I Line 7 Employees are eligible to receive additional compensation above their salary amount, based on individual and organizational performance, paid at the discretion of Team NEO. Approval by the Team NEO Board of Trustees is required. Pt VI, Line 11b The draft Form 990 and its schedules were reviewed by the CEO and the Treasurer of the Board. Any necessary changes were made and the final version was then made available to the Board members for their review. After the stated deadline for comments, the Form 990 and its schedules were electronically filed. Pt VI, Line 12c Team NEO Foundations Board Members annually sign a Conflict of Interest statement. As issues arise at the Board meetings, a Board Member having a conflicting interest would excuse himself/herself from the room during the discussion and voting of the issue as to not impact the results. Pt VI, Line 19 Team NEO Foundation makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request, either by providing copies or inspection in the office. Pt VI, Line 15a The process for determining the CEO compensation originally included benchmark studies performed by a consulting firm on what other similar organizations around the country would pay their top person. The CEO Search Committee of the Board was involved in this process. Moving forward, the Governance Committee will play this role. On an annual basis, benchmark studies are available to the Governance Ctm to review. Locally, ERC does a salary study and universities such as Minnesota have done surveys on just economic development organizations. The CEO has an annual performance review which is conducted by the Board Chair and the Chair of the Governance Ctm. The Board Chair and Governance Ctm base the CEOs salary increase and any performance bonus on his performance and achievement of the organizations goals and objectives over the past 12 months. Pt VI, Line 15b The process to hire key employees of the organization includes a review of salary benchmarks from other economic development organizations around the country. On an annual basis, every employee is reviewed both at mid-year and at year-end by the CEO. An average salary increase for employees is agreed to by the CEO and the Board of Directors. The CEO applies the average salary increase at his discretion for all employees. Form 990, Part III, Line 4d Grow a Pipline of Competitive Sites - Impact the regional 512030. 0. 38325.
