DISCLOSURE INFORMATION CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION A; QUESTION 2 RUSSELL GILLESPIE AND PETER GALETTO, JR. - BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP
DISCLOSURE INFORMATION CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION B; QUESTION 11A THE ORGANIZATION IS THE TAX-EXEMPT PARENT ENTITY OF SOUTH JERSEY HEALTH SYSTEM, INC. AND AFFILIATES ("SYSTEM"); A TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM. THE ORGANIZATION'S FEDERAL FORM 990 WAS MADE AVAILABLE TO EACH VOTING MEMBER OF THE ORGANIZATION'S GOVERNING BODY, ITS BOARD OF TRUSTEES, PRIOR TO FILING WITH THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE ("IRS"). IN ADDITION, EACH MEMBER OF THE SOUTH JERSEY HEALTH SYSTEM, INC. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REVIEWED THIS ORGANIZATION'S FORM 990 PRIOR TO FILING WITH THE IRS. THE SOUTH JERSEY HEALTH SYSTEM INC. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE HAS ASSUMED THE RESPONSIBILITY TO OVERSEE AND COORDINATE THE FEDERAL FORM 990 PREPARATION, REVIEW AND FILING PROCESS FOR ALL TAX-EXEMPT AFFILIATES OF THE SYSTEM. AS PART OF THE ORGANIZATION'S FEDERAL FORM 990 TAX RETURN PREPARATION PROCESS THE ORGANIZATION HIRED A PROFESSIONAL CPA FIRM WITH EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE IN BOTH HEALTHCARE AND NOT-FOR-PROFIT TAX RETURN PREPARATION TO PREPARE THE FEDERAL FORM 990. THE CPA FIRM'S TAX PROFESSIONALS WORKED CLOSELY WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCE PERSONNEL AND SYSTEM INDIVIDUALS INCLUDING IN HOUSE COUNSEL, VICE-PRESIDENT OF FINANCE, DIRECTOR OF INTERNAL AUDIT AND VARIOUS OTHER INDIVIDUALS TO OBTAIN THE INFORMATION NEEDED IN ORDER TO PREPARE A COMPLETE AND ACCURATE TAX RETURN. THE CPA FIRM PREPARED A DRAFT FEDERAL FORM 990 AND FURNISHED IT TO THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCE PERSONNEL AND OTHER INDIVIDUALS FOR THEIR REVIEW. THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCE PERSONNEL AND OTHER INDIVIDUALS REVIEWED THE DRAFT FEDERAL FORM 990 AND DISCUSSED QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS WITH THE CPA FIRM. REVISIONS WERE MADE TO THE DRAFT FEDERAL FORM 990 WHERE NECESSARY AND A FINAL DRAFT WAS FURNISHED BY THE CPA FIRM TO THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCE PERSONNEL AND VARIOUS OTHER INDIVIDUALS FOR FINAL REVIEW AND APPROVAL PRIOR TO PRESENTATION OF THE FEDERAL FORM 990 TO THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH JERSEY HEALTH SYSTEM, INC. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE AND THEREAFTER TO EACH MEMBER OF ITS BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
DISCLOSURE INFORMATION CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION B; QUESTION 12 THE ORGANIZATION IS THE PARENT ENTITY IN THE SOUTH JERSEY HEALTH SYSTEM ("SYSTEM"). THE ORGANIZATION AND THE SYSTEM REGULARLY MONITOR AND ENFORCE COMPLIANCE WITH ITS CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY. ANNUALLY ALL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, OFFICERS AND SENIOR MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL ARE REQUIRED TO REVIEW THE EXISTING CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY AND COMPLETE A QUESTIONNAIRE. THE COMPLETED QUESTIONNAIRES ARE RETURNED TO THE ORGANIZATION AND THE GENERAL COUNSEL FOR REVIEW. THEREAFTER THE GENERAL COUNSEL PREPARES A SUMMARY OF THE COMPLETED QUESTIONNAIRES WHICH CONTAINS INFORMATION DISCLOSED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BY INDIVIDUAL BASIS. THEREAFTER, THE GENERAL COUNSEL OF THE ORGANIZATION PRESENTS THIS SUMMARY TO THE ORGANIZATION'S GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE FOR ITS REVIEW AND DISCUSSION.
DISCLOSURE INFORMATION CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION B; QUESTION 15 THE ORGANIZATION IS AN AFFILIATE IN A TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM. THIS FILING ORGANIZATION ITSELF HAS NO PAID SENIOR MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL RECEIVING COMPENSATION DIRECTLY FROM THIS ORGANIZATION. RATHER, KEY SENIOR MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL, INCLUDING THE PRESIDENT/CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER IS EMPLOYED BY THE TAX-EXEMPT HOSPITAL WITHIN THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM. HOWEVER, THE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS OF THIS INDIVIDUAL IS SHOWN ON THIS TAX RETURN BECAUSE HE IS ALSO A BOARD MEMBER OF THIS ORGANIZATION. ACCORDINGLY, THE HOSPITAL'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES HAS AN EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ("COMMITTEE"). THE COMMITTEE HAS ADOPTED A WRITTEN EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY WHICH IT FOLLOWS WHEN IT REVIEWS AND APPROVES OF THE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS OF THE HOSPITAL'S SENIOR MANAGEMENT, INCLUDING THE PRESIDENT/CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER. THE COMMITTEE REVIEWS THE "TOTAL COMPENSATION" OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHICH IS INTENDED TO INCLUDE BOTH CURRENT AND DEFERRED COMPENSATION AND ALL EMPLOYEE BENEFITS, BOTH QUALIFIED AND NON-QUALIFIED. THE COMMITTEE'S REVIEW IS DONE ON AT LEAST AN ANNUAL BASIS AND ENSURES THAT THE "TOTAL COMPENSATION" OF SENIOR MANAGEMENT IS REASONABLE. THE ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE COMMITTEE ENABLE THE HOSPITAL TO RECEIVE THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS FOR PURPOSES OF INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 4958 WITH RESPECT TO THE TOTAL COMPENSATION OF CERTAIN MEMBERS OF THE SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM, INCLUDING THE PRESIDENT/CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER. THE THREE FACTORS WHICH MUST BE SATISFIED IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS ARE THE FOLLOWING: 1. THE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT IS APPROVED IN ADVANCE BY AN "AUTHORIZED BODY" OF THE APPLICABLE TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION WHICH IS COMPOSED ENTIRELY OF INDIVIDUALS WHO DO NOT HAVE A "CONFLICT OF INTEREST" WITH RESPECT TO THE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT; 2. THE AUTHORIZED BODY OBTAINED AND RELIED UPON "APPROPRIATE DATA AS TO COMPARABILITY" PRIOR TO MAKING ITS DETERMINATION; AND 3. THE AUTHORIZED BODY "ADEQUATELY DOCUMENTED THE BASIS FOR ITS DETERMINATION" CONCURRENTLY WITH MAKING THAT DETERMINATION. THE COMMITTEE IS COMPRISED OF MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES EACH OF WHO ARE INDEPENDENT AND ARE FREE FROM ANY CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. THE COMMITTEE RELIED UPON APPROPRIATE COMPARABLE DATA; SPECIFICALLY THE COMMITTEE OBTAINED A WRITTEN COMPENSATION STUDY FROM AN INDEPENDENT FIRM WHICH SPECIALIZES IN THE REVIEWING OF HOSPITAL AND HEALTHCARE SYSTEM EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES. THIS STUDY USED COMPARABLE GEOGRAPHIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC MARKET DATA INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO SIMILAR SIZED HOSPITALS, # OF LICENSED BEDS AND NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE. THE COMMITTEE ADEQUATELY DOCUMENTED ITS BASIS FOR ITS DETERMINATION THROUGH THE TIMELY PREPARATION OF WRITTEN MINUTES OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE MEETINGS DURING WHICH THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS WAS REVIEWED AND SUBSEQUENTLY APPROVED. THE ACTIONS OUTLINED ABOVE WITH RESPECT TO THE COMMITTEE AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS ONLY APPLIES TO CERTAIN SENIOR MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE PRESIDENT/CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER.
DISCLOSURE INFORMATION CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION C; QUESTION 19 THE ORGANIZATION'S FILED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND ANY AMENDMENTS CAN BE OBTAINED AND REVIEWED THROUGH THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
