| Describe the process to monitor Transactions for Conflicts of Interest | Form 990, Part VI, Question 12c | The conflict of interest policy for Green Court Holdings is maintained and administered by the parent organization, Altarum Institute, EIN 38-1983442. Altarum Institute establishes various policies and procedures that must then be adopted by the subsidiary organizations. One such policy is the Conflict of Interest. The explanation provided below describes the process in which the parent organization monitors for potential conflicts of interest. The Officers, Directors, Trustees and Key Employees of Green Court Holdings are subject to this monitoring process as well. Annually, each member of the Board of Trustees and every officer must complete and submit a disclosure form to the Director of Legal Affairs. Included in the disclosure is any employment, board membership, compensatory arrangements, material interests, etc. with other entities. The Director of Legal Affairs inputs all of the information into a database so that material transactions can be checked against all of the data provided in the disclosure forms. Also, pursuant to policy, the board members and officers have to disclose any interests in or relationship with an entity that Altarum or one of its affiliates is pursuing a transaction with (at the time of the board member or officer becoming aware of the potential Altarum relationship). In the event of a potential conflict of interest, the interested person must disclose all material facts, and the disinterested board members (in the absence of the interested person) discuss and vote upon whether or not an actual conflict of interest exists. If a conflict of interest exists, then alternative transactions or arrangements will be sought out and considered. If no alternative transaction is suitable, the disinterested members of the board determine whether or not the conflicted transaction is in Green Court Holding's best interests and determine if the terms of the transaction are fair and reasonable. Upon a conflict of interest occurring that was not disclosed, the interested person must explain the failure to disclose the alleged conflict. After hearing the explanation and conducting any necessary further investigation, the board will take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action. |
