FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE BYLAWS OF HOLY SPIRIT HEALTH SYSTEM (THE PARENT), THE FORM 990 WAS PRESENTED TO THE HEALTH SYSTEM'S FINANCE AND AUDIT COMMITTEE BY THE EXTERNAL TAX PREPARERS AND MANAGEMENT.

FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C
THE HOLY SPIRIT HOSPITAL BYLAWS HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST PROVISION, SPECIFICALLY ARTICLE XII. ARTICLE XII IS APPLICABLE TO "ANY DIRECTOR, OFFICER OR COMMITTEE MEMBER (TO INCLUDE ANY MEMBER OF HIS OR HER IMMEDIATE FAMILY)" AND DESCRIBES THE NATURE OF A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. IN ADDITION, THERE IS A PROVISION IN ARTICLE XII (SECTION 12.2.1) WHICH SETS FORTH THE METHODOLOGY TO DETERMINE WHETHER A DIRECTOR, OFFICER OR COMMITTEE MEMBER HAS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND THE REQUIREMENTS PERTAINING TO REMOVAL OF THE DIRECTOR, OFFICER OR COMMITTEE MEMBER WITH THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST FROM THE MEETING, IMPACT ON THE QUORUM AND VOTING. SECTION 12.2 REQUIRES THAT IF A DIRECTOR, OFFICER OR COMMITTEE MEMBER IS DETERMINED TO HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST THAT THE INDIVIDUAL CANNOT BE PRESENT AT THE MEETING WHEN THE MATTER WAS DISCUSSED OR VOTED UPON.

THAT CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY IS APPLICABLE TO ALL DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, KEY EMPLOYEES AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS FOR HOLY SPIRIT HEALTH SYSTEM AND ALL SUBSIDIARY CORPORATIONS. THAT CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY ALSO HAS EXPANDED THE ANNUAL DISCLOSURE STATEMENT. IN ADDITION, THE CORPORATE COMPLIANCE PROGRAM FOR HOLY SPIRIT HEALTH SYSTEM PROVIDES A CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY WHICH IS SUBSTANTIALLY THE SAME AS THE ONE DESCRIBED ABOVE, EXCEPT THAT POLICY IS APPLICABLE TO ALL EMPLOYEES OF HOLY SPIRIT HEALTH SYSTEM AND ALL SUBSIDIARY CORPORATIONS. IT IS NOT APPLICABLE TO DIRECTORS, OFFICERS OR COMMITTEE MEMBERS OF HOLY SPIRIT HEALTH SYSTEM OR ANY SUBSIDIARY CORPORATION.
