Any such nomination must be received by the Nominating Committee of the Corporation not less than 60 days prior to the annual meeting of members in order to be considered at such annual meeting.

FORM 990 REVIEW PROCESS
Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b THE REVIEW PROCESS FOR THE 990 INCLUDES COMPILATION BY INTERNAL STAFF, DETAILED REVIEW BY AN OUTSIDE AUDITOR, BOND COUNSEL AND THE CONTROLLER AND CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, PRIOR TO SUBMISSION TO THE IRS. THE TAX RETURN WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE FOR THE BOARD TO REVIEW AFTER SUBMISSION TO THE IRS.
Conflict of interest
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c 1. In connection with any actual or possible conflicts of interest, an interested person or other person subject to this policy must disclose the existence and nature of his or her financial interest in writing to the President of Centegra or the Chief Corporate Responsibility Officer or designee, who shall provide such written disclosure to the Governors Affairs Committee of Centegra, which consider all conflicts of interest issues and, if appropriate, to the directors and members of committees with board-delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. 2. When a conflict of interest is disclosed at meeting of the board or committee thereof, after disclosure of the financial interest, the interested person shall leave the board or committee meeting while the financial interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining board or committee members shall decide if a conflict of interest exists. The interested person's leaving such meeting shall not affect whether a quorum exists at such meeting. 3. Procedures for Addressing the Transaction or Arrangement From Which the Conflict Arose. The chairperson of the board or committee shall, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. After exercising due diligence, the board or committee shall determine whether Centegra can obtain a more advantageous transaction or arrangement with reasonable efforts from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably attainable under circumstances that would not give rise to a conflict of interest, the board or committee shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in Centegra's best interest and for its own benefit and whether the transaction is fair and reasonable to Centegra and shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement in conformity with such determination. 4. Violations of the Conflicts of Interest Policy: If the administration, the board, or a committee has a reasonable cause to believe that a member has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest, it shall inform the member of the basis for such belief and afford the member an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. If, after hearing the response of the member and making such further investigation as may be warranted in the circumstances, the board or committee determines that the member has, in fact, failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall refer the matter to the Governors Affairs Committee for consideration, which shall subsequently recommend appropriate disciplinary and corrective action to such board or committee. 5. The minutes of the board and all committees with board-delegated powers shall contain the names of the persons who disclosed or otherwise were found to have a financial interest in connection with an actual or possible conflict of interest, the nature of the financial interest, any action taken to determine whether a conflict of interest was present, and the board's or committee's decision as to whether a conflict of interest, in fact, existed. The names of the persons who were present for discussions and votes relating to the transaction or arrangement, the content of the discussion, including any alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement, and a record of any votes taken in connection therewith. 6. A voting member of any committee whose jurisdiction includes compensation matters and who receives compensation, directly or indirectly, from Centegra for services is precluded from voting on matters pertaining to that member's compensation, Physicians who receive compensation, directly or indirectly, from Centegra, whether as employees or independent contractors, are precluded from membership on any committee whose jurisdiction includes compensation matters and in which such physician may have a direct or indirect interest. 7. Each director, principal officer, and member of a committee with board-delegated powers shall annually sign a statement which affirms that such person has received a copy of the conflicts of interest policy; has read and understands the policy; has agreed to comply with the policy; and understands that Centegra is a charitable organization and that in order to maintain its federal tax exemption, it must engage primarily in activities which accomplish one or more of its tax exempt purposes. 8. To ensure that Centegra operates in a manner consistent with its charitable purposes and that it does not engage in activities that could jeopardize its status as an organization exempt from federal income tax, periodic reviews shall be conducted by the Governors Affairs Committee of Centegra. The periodic reviews shall, at a minimum, include the following subjects: Whether acquisition of physician practices and other provider services result in inurement or impermissible private benefit. Whether partnership and joint venture arrangements and arrangements with management service organizations and physician hospital organizations and physician hospital organizations conform to written policies, are properly recorded, reflect reasonable payment for goods and services, further Centegra's charitable purposes and do not result in inurement or impermissible private benefit. Whether agreements to provide healthcare and agreements with other healthcare providers, employees, and third party payors further Centegra's charitable purposes and do not result in inurement or impermissible private benefit. Whether business transactions on behalf of Centegra or an entity controlled by it are the result of arms-length dealing and are no less advantageous than competitively available goods and services of like grade and quality. 9.In conducting the periodic reviews provided for in Article VII, Centegra may, but need not, use outside advisors. If outside experts are used, their use shall not relieve the board of its responsibility for ensuring that periodic reviews are conducted.
Compensation determination
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b The Board of Directors of Centegra Health System, through the Compensation Committee comprised of independent members free of conflict, reviewed executive compensation levels and other features of the compensation plan in accordance with the organization's approved compensation philosophy and strategy. The Committee is comprised of members of the Board of Directors, who are independent of Centegra management, have no personal interest in the compensation arrangements, are not related to, or under the control of any individual whose compensation arrangement is being reviewed and have no material business relationship with Centegra. The C-Suite's compensation is determined by the Compensation Committee in relation to comparable peers based on 990 market data. Compensation for other members of the executive staff is recommended by the CEO, reviewed by the Committee, and evaluated against market data. The Compensation Committee approves all compensation decisions in advance of their implementation and documents its determinations and discussions. Its decisions and deliberations are thoroughly documented and meeting minutes are kept and distributed to the Committee members (for historical reference). The Compensation Committee uses a number of external resources and comparisons, and their review includes total compensation (cash compensation, plus benefits provided by Centegra) in relation to organizational performance and prevailing industry practices of comparably-sized organizations. They have engaged the services of a compensation consulting firm (Sullivan Cotter) specializing in the not-for-profit sector that has worked with Centegra and reports directly to the Compensation Committee. Reasonalbeness letters and documentation are provided to the organization after each review.
