Most of the reported compensation ($873,374 of $1,001,395) came from a related organization (Part VII column E) and was reported on this filing.

Also listed with a chief executive title in the same filings: Bergherm Bruce, Director/CEO, $1,801,258. Where a chief executive retired during the year, the filing reports the final-year payout.
