JEANNE WEAVER RUESCH - BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 11B REVIEW OF FORM 990 BY GOVERNING BODY PRIOR TO PROVIDING THE FORM 990 (RETURN) TO THE MEMBERS OF THE NSOA BOARD OF DIRECTORS, A DETAILED REVIEW WAS PERFORMED BY THE NSOA'S CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND THE JOHN F. KENNEDY CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS' (KENNEDY CENTER) VICE PRESIDENT, ACCOUNTING. AFTER THE RETURN WAS FINALIZED, MANAGEMENT PROVIDED IT TO EACH DIRECTOR VIA EMAIL/WEBSITE PRIOR TO FILING THE RETURN WITH THE IRS. QUESTIONS, IF ANY, WERE DIRECTED TO AND ADDRESSED BY THE KENNEDY CENTER'S VICE PRESIDENT, ACCOUNTING. RESPONSES TO NOTABLE QUESTIONS WERE PROVIDED TO ALL NSOA DIRECTORS FOR THEIR INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATED TO THE KENNEDY CENTER'S AUDIT COMMITTEE. FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 12C CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY DURING THE PERIOD REPORTED ON IN THIS FORM 990, A CONFLICT-OF-INTEREST POLICY (THE "POLICY") WAS APPLICABLE TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS (THE "BOARD"), KEY EMPLOYEES, AND OTHER EMPLOYEES WHO HAD AUTHORITY TO SIGN CONTRACTS TOTALING $15,000 OR MORE AND/OR HAD THE ABILITY TO INFLUENCE A TRANSACTION BETWEEN NSOA AND ANOTHER ORGANIZATION (COLLECTIVELY, "COVERED INDIVIDUALS"). THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER WERE EMPLOYEES OF THE KENNEDY CENTER AND WERE SUBJECT TO THAT ORGANIZATION'S CONFLICT-OF-INTEREST POLICY. THE POLICY COVERED TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN NSOA AND (A) MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, (B) THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS, AND/OR (C) AN AFFILIATED ENTITY. TO ASSIST NSOA IN IDENTIFYING TRANSACTIONS WHERE THERE MAY BE AN ACTUAL OR PERCEIVED CONFLICT OF INTEREST, EACH DIRECTOR IS REQUIRED TO COMPLETE AND SIGN AN ANNUAL CONFLICT-OF-INTEREST DECLARATION (A "DECLARATION") AND, AS NECESSARY, UPDATE THE DECLARATION TO REFLECT ANY CHANGES DURING THE YEAR. DECLARATIONS COMPLETED BY DIRECTORS WERE REVIEWED BY THE KENNEDY CENTER'S OFFICE OF GENERAL COUNSEL ON BEHALF OF NSOA AND/OR BY NSOA'S COUNSEL. WHEN A DIRECTOR BECOMES AWARE OF A CONFLICT, THE DIRECTOR HAS A DUTY TO IMMEDIATELY DISCLOSE THE EXISTENCE AND CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE COVERED TRANSACTION TO THE KENNEDY CENTER'S GENERAL COUNSEL. IF A CONFLICT WERE TO INVOLVE THE GENERAL COUNSEL, THE EXISTENCE AND CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE CONFLICT WOULD BE DISCLOSED TO THE AUDIT COMMITTEE. THE AFFECTED INDIVIDUAL MUST (A) REFRAIN FROM USING HIS OR HER PERSONAL INFLUENCE TO ENCOURAGE NSOA TO ENTER INTO OR NOT ENTER INTO THE TRANSACTION, AND (B) PHYSICALLY EXCUSE HIMSELF OR HERSELF FROM PARTICIPATING IN ANY DISCUSSIONS REGARDING THE TRANSACTION, EXCEPT TO RESPOND TO REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION. IF A CONFLICT IS DISCLOSED IN A DECLARATION OR TO THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD, IT WILL BE REVIEWED BY NSOA'S EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. DURING THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE'S REVIEW, IT WILL CONSIDER WHETHER, ABSENT THE PARTICIPATION OF THE AFFECTED DIRECTOR, ANY PROPOSED TRANSACTION INVOLVING A CONFLICT IS FAIR AND REASONABLE TO NSOA. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE WILL MAINTAIN SUCH DOCUMENTATION AS MAY BE NECESSARY AND APPROPRIATE TO DOCUMENT THE REVIEW OF THE CONFLICT AND WILL REPORT TO THE BOARD ON CONFLICTS, WHETHER APPROVED OR NOT. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MAY SEEK ADVICE FROM THE KENNEDY CENTER'S OFFICE OF GENERAL COUNSEL OR FROM OUTSIDE ADVISORS. SUCH ADVICE WILL GENERALLY BE IN CONNECTION WITH EITHER THE REVIEW OF ANY CONFLICT OR THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE POLICY. FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 19 REQUIRED DOCUMENTS AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC THE ORGANIZATION'S GOVERNING DOCUMENTS, CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY, AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC.

MANAGEMENT DOES NOT EXPECT THE FINANCIAL RESULTS TO CHANGE AND WILL FILE AN AMENDED RETURN WHEN THE AUDITS ARE COMPLETE. PART VI, LINES 15A-15B. COMPENSATION PROCESS THE NSOA HAS NO EMPLOYEES OF ITS OWN. THE SALARIES OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, WHO ARE EMPLOYEES OF THE KENNEDY CENTER, ARE DETERMINED UNDER POLICIES DISCLOSED ON THE KENNEDY CENTER'S FORM 990. PAGE 1, BOX A THE NATIONAL SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA ASSOCIATION (NSOA) KEEPS ITS BOOKS AND COMPUTES ITS INCOME ON THE BASIS OF A 52-53 WEEK TAX YEAR. THE 52-53 WEEK YEAR ALWAYS ENDS ON A SUNDAY AND ALWAYS ON THE SUNDAY NEAREST TO THE LAST CALENDAR DAY IN SEPTEMBER. THE TAX YEAR REPORTED HEREIN REPRESENTS THE PERIOD SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 TO SEPTEMBER 28, 2025, A 52-WEEK YEAR. THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE (IRS) CANNOT ACCEPT A 52-53 WEEK ELECTION FOR AN EXEMPT ORGANIZATION. ACCORDINGLY, AND TO ENSURE THAT THE IRS WOULD ACCEPT NSOA'S RETURN, NSOA HAS CHANGED THE DATES OF ITS REPORTING PERIOD FROM THE AFOREMENTIONED DATES TO THE PERIOD OCTOBER 1, 2024 TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2025. PART XII, LINE 2B THE ANNUAL AUDIT OF THE KENNEDY CENTER'S CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ITS SINGLE AUDIT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 28, 2025 WERE NOT COMPLETE BY THE EXTENDED DUE DATE OF THIS RETURN.
