(A)

For Ms. Prieskorn, $85,263 in perquisites relate to personal use of the corporate aircraft. We determined the aggregate incremental cost of the personal use of our corporate aircraft to include trip fuel expenses, maintenance labor and parts, landing fees, trip catering and crew expenses. Fuel, landing fees and catering are specific to the trip. Maintenance labor and parts are industry average and aircraft specific for each hour of operation. Crew expenses are based on a daily per diem. Because our aircraft is used primarily for business travel, this methodology excludes fixed costs that do not change based on usage such as the salaries, benefits, and training of pilots and crew, purchase or lease costs of aircraft and other fixed costs. The additional perquisites for Ms. Prieskorn include $15,000 for financial planning / tax preparation and $3,247 for executive physicals. For Mr. Smith, $2,450 in perquisites relate to financial planning / tax preparation. For Mr. Romine, perquisites include $7,350 for financial planning / tax preparation and $2,112 for executive physicals. For Ms. Chelko, perquisites include $6,575 for financial planning / tax preparation and $3,024 for executive physicals.
