| Form 990, Part VI, Line 12C | Monitoring and enforcing Conflict of Interest policy: Essentia Health's comprehensive conflict of interest program prevents, detects and resolves actual conflicts of interests or the actual or potential appearance of such. Fiduciaries, defined as an Essentia Health board member/trustee, officer, board committee member, senior management employee, or any others considered to be in a position of influence, are covered under Essentia's conflict of interest program. Upon initial appointment, each fiduciary must complete an initial conflict of interest statement and disclosure questionnaire. At the conclusion of each fiscal year, each fiduciary must complete an annual conflict of interest statement and disclosure questionnaire. As needed, a fiduciary will update his/her most recently completed questionnaire each time the fiduciary becomes aware of a financial interest, a potential conflict, or change to any information that the fiduciary previously reported. Essentia Health's Chief Compliance Officer will collect the questionnaires and evaluate the disclosures. If a fiduciary has a potential conflict of interest, the Chief Compliance Officer or designee may request additional information from the fiduciary, the management team, and others. During the evaluation process, the Chief Compliance Officer may also consult with Essentia Health's Board and Audit Committee Chairs, senior management, legal department, or appropriate representatives from Essentia Health. The Chief Compliance Officer reports to the Essentia Health Audit Committee and the Essentia Health Board of Directors any actual or potential conflicts of interest disclosed by the fiduciary, along with recommended actions. The Essentia Health Board of Directors (or designee) will then determine whether to approve the situation or to implement special controls to manage the potential conflict of interest. The Chief Compliance Officer will then officially notify the fiduciary in writing of the board's decision. The decision of whether or not the disclosure constitutes a conflict or not will be at the Essentia Health Board of Director's (or designee) sole discretion, and its concern must be the welfare of Essentia Health and its affiliate(s) and the advancement of its purposes. When the Essentia Health Board of Directors (or designee) considers a Fiduciary's disclosure as a Conflict of Interest, special controls will be identified to manage, eliminate or reduce the likelihood and/or appearance of a conflict arising. Controls may include but are not limited to: A.If the conflict involves an on-going matter or relationship, the Fiduciary must not participate in Board, Board committee or management discussions related to the conflict and must recuse themselves and if appropriate, withdraw, from any Board meeting or portion thereof where the matter is being discussed and during the vote on the potential Conflict of Interest. The Fiduciary may answer questions at the Board's or the Board Committee's request. B.If the conflict involves a specific transaction or decision, the Fiduciary will fully disclose their interest and all related material facts. The Board or committee of the Board will determine whether the contemplated transaction may be authorized as just, fair, and reasonable to Essentia Health or its affiliate(s). If the Board determines a conflict does not exist, the Fiduciary may proceed with the transaction; however, he or she will not be eligible to vote on related issues should they arise. If the Board determines a conflict does exist, the Fiduciary will be notified of the decision regarding whether the contemplated transaction will be authorized as just, fair, and reasonable. | |

The Executive Compensation Committee may request its independent advisors to: monitor comparability data and marketplace trends; make appropriate recommendations regarding salary ranges; and periodically review the market competitiveness of Essentia executive compensation packages. Prior to establishing or adjusting executive compensation, the Executive Compensation Committee will obtain and rely upon appropriate data as to comparability of the proposed compensation or adjustments.

The Executive Compensation Committee minutes will include: the terms of the approved compensation and the date approved; the Executive Compensation Committee members present during the review, discussion and approval of the proposed compensation and those who voted on the proposed compensation; identification of the comparability data obtained and relied upon by the Executive Compensation Committee and how the data was obtained; any actions by a member of the Executive Compensation Committee having a conflict of interest; and documentation of the basis for the determination.
