Both of those officers appear to be located in the UK. It is common to pay people located in a different place than the company HQ using a local entity. Whether this is mandatory or merely advantageous for tax or bureaucratic reasons depends on the situation.

Excellent answer. I'd like to add that this is common enough that there are about 50 service providers that do it.

If you're Carlsberg and have one single salesperson in a country, these companies let you have a regular employment contact without your own subsidiary. Or you're the UN. Or...

Your addition pretty much does explain. Thank you.

Foundation's 990 (page 8) initially mentions paying 0 for full time work, only later to be explained in supplemental information page that there were in fact paid well high enough.

This could be simply payment structure like you said but their overal financial summary doesn't explain weather this was included in thecost of admin or not.

Page 7 of Form 990 asks for "highest paid employee." including other info where Rust foundation has reported 0 for most people.
