Supplemental Information
Provide the information, explanation, or descriptions required for Part I, lines 1a, 1b, 3, 4a, 4b, 4c, 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b, 7, and 8, and for Part II. Also complete this part for any additional information.
Return Reference Explanation
SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 1A RELEVANT INFORMATION REGARDING COMPENSATION ITEMS: FIRST-CLASS TRAVEL: CERTAIN OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES OF SUTTER HEALTH MAY UPGRADE TO FIRST-CLASS TRAVEL AS BUSINESS NEED DICTATES. UPGRADES ARE CONSIDERED A NECESSARY BUSINESS EXPENSE. TAX INDEMNIFICATION: STANDARD POLICY FOR ALL SUTTER HEALTH EMPLOYEES IS THAT NON-CASH GIFTS AND AWARDS ARE GROSSED-UP FOR TAX PURPOSES. THE AMOUNT OF THE GROSS-UP IS ADDED TO THE EMPLOYEE'S WAGES AND TAXED ACCORDINGLY. SOCIAL CLUB: THE CEO RECEIVES A PAID MEMBERSHIP TO A LOCAL SOCIAL/BUSINESS CLUB. THE MEMBERSHIP IS CONSIDERED A NECESSARY BUSINESS EXPENSE. HOUSING ALLOWANCE: ONE (1) INDIVIDUAL, MIKE COHILL, RECEIVED A HOUSING ALLOWANCE. THE BENEFIT WAS REPORTED AS TAXABLE COMPENSATION ON HIS W-2.
SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 3 SUPPLEMENTAL COMPENSATION INFORMATION: THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE SUTTER HEALTH BOARD OF DIRECTORS RETAINS ULTIMATE DISCRETIONARY AUTHORITY OVER ALL ELEMENTS OF COMPENSATION TO ASSURE THAT ORGANIZATIONAL PURPOSES ARE APPROPRIATELY BEING SERVED. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE USES CREDIBLE DATA SOURCES AND MAINTAINS AN OBJECTIVE "ARMS-LENGTH" DECISION-MAKING PROCESS, ENSURING THE INTEGRITY OF SUTTER'S EXECUTIVE PROGRAMS AND CONSISTENCY WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S OVERALL MISSION. SEE SCHEDULE O NARRATIVE FOR PART VI, LINE 15 FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPENSATION APPROVAL PROCESS COMPLETED BY SUTTER HEALTH.
SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 4A SEVERANCE PAYMENT: GORDON HUNT JR. RECEIVED SEVERANCE PAYMENT OF $511,686 MICHAEL HELM RECEIVED SEVERANCE PAYMENT OF $389,344
SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 4B NONQUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLAN: THE PURPOSE OF THE NONQUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLAN IS TO PROVIDE SUTTER HEALTH EXECUTIVES WITH A COMPETITIVE RETIREMENT BENEFIT CONSISTENT WITH SUTTER HEALTH'S OVERALL COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY FOR ALL EMPLOYEES. CONTRIBUTIONS ARE DESIGNED TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION LOST RETIREMENT BENEFITS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE OBTAINED THROUGH THE QUALIFIED PENSION PLAN. SUTTER'S PLANS ARE DESIGNED CONSISTENT WITH COMPETITIVE INDUSTRY PRACTICES. THE RETIREMENT PLAN FOR SUTTER HEALTH EMPLOYEES IS A COMBINATION OF SOCIAL SECURITY, 403(B) EMPLOYER MATCH CONTRIBUTIONS AND QUALIFIED PLAN BENEFITS. SUTTER HEALTH EXECUTIVES ARE GENERALLY INELIGIBLE FOR EMPLOYER MATCH CONTRIBUTIONS. ADDITIONALLY, QUALIFIED PLAN BENEFITS CAPS HAVE THE EFFECT OF SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCING RETIREMENT BENEFITS THAT ARE OTHERWISE PROVIDED TO ALL EMPLOYEES. THE EFFECT IS THAT EXECUTIVES OFTEN DO NOT RECEIVE THE SAME LEVEL OF RETIREMENT BENEFIT ON AN INCOME REPLACEMENT BASIS AS OTHER EMPLOYEES. TO ENSURE A COMPETITIVE RETIREMENT BENEFIT AND TO ADDRESS THE SHORTFALLS DESCRIBED ABOVE, SUTTER HEALTH MAKES AN ANNUAL CONTRIBUTION TO A NON-QUALIFIED 457(F) PLAN FOR ITS EXECUTIVES. THE FORMULA HAS TWO PARTS: (1) 4% TO 7% OF BASE SALARY (COMMENSURATE WITH MANAGEMENT LEVEL), PLUS (2) A CONTRIBUTION STARTING AT 5% (BASED UPON TENURE) FOR ELIGIBLE EARNINGS BEYOND THE IRS DEFINITION OF INCLUDIBLE COMPENSATION ("PENSION PAY CAP"). THE LATTER OF WHICH IS DESIGNED TO HELP RESTORE LOST PENSION BENEFITS FORFEITED UNDER THE QUALIFIED PLAN FOR EARNINGS OVER THE PENSION PAY CAP LIMIT. CONTRIBUTIONS ARE ALSO MADE FOR A SMALL GROUP OF SENIOR LEVEL EXECUTIVES WHOSE ESTIMATED RETIREMENT BENEFIT (SOCIAL SECURITY PLUS QUALIFIED PLAN BENEFITS PLUS 457(F)) FALLS BELOW 50%-65% OF FINAL 4-YEAR AVERAGE BASE SALARY WHEN RETIRING AT AGE 65 WITH 22.5 YEARS OF SERVICE. TARGET BENEFIT LEVELS ARE DISCOUNTED FOR YEARS OF SERVICE LESS THAN 22.5 AT AGE 65. UNLIKE SUTTER HEALTH'S QUALIFIED PLAN WHERE EMPLOYEE BENEFITS ARE GUARANTEED (I.E., A DEFINED BENEFIT), SUTTER'S NON-QUALIFIED PLAN BENEFITS ARE NOT GUARANTEED BY SUTTER HEALTH. INVESTMENT RISK IS BORNE BY PARTICIPANTS AND BENEFITS ARE NOT PROTECTED SHOULD SUTTER HEALTH BECOME INSOLVENT. THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUALS RECEIVED 457(F) NON-QUALIFIED PAYMENTS DURING THE YEAR: MIKE HELM - $552,693 ROBERT REED - $570,148 ED BERDICK - $1,394,752 GORDON HUNT, MD - $177,452 MARTIN BROTMAN, MD - $405,115
SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 7 NON-FIXED PAYMENTS: SPOT AWARDS ARE INFREQUENTLY USED TO REWARD EMPLOYEES. THERE ARE NO SPECIFIC GUIDELINES FOR THE AMOUNT OF THE SPOT AWARD BUT THE AMOUNT TENDS TO NOT EXCEED 5% TO 10% OF GROSS ANNUAL SALARY. ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN (AIP) THE PURPOSE OF THE PLAN IS TO FOCUS EXECUTIVES ON SPECIFIC, SHORTER-TERM GOALS THAT ARE CRITICAL TO THE ACHIEVEMENT OF AFFILIATE, REGION, AND SYSTEM-WIDE OBJECTIVES THAT DRIVE OVERALL ORGANIZATION PERFORMANCE. A PORTION OF THE PLAN AWARD IS DISCRETIONARY IN THAT THE SUPERVISOR MAY ADD UP TO 5% TO THE AWARD PROVIDED THE TOTAL AWARD (FORMULA PORTION PLUS DISCRETIONARY) DOES NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM ESTABLISHED FOR ANY GIVEN EXECUTIVE. LONG TERM PERFORMANCE PLANS SUTTER HEALTH ALSO EMPLOYS LONG TERM PERFORMANCE PLANS WHICH ARE DESIGNED TO FOCUS ON LONGER TERM STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES OF THE ORGANIZATION. SUTTER'S LONG TERM PERFORMANCE PLAN APPROACH IS A COMBINATION OF BOTH LONGER TERM MEASURES OF ORGANIZATION SUCCESS AND KEY ORGANIZATION STRATEGIES WHICH REQUIRE THE COMBINED EFFORT OF ALL LEADERSHIP TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS. SUTTER USES A COMMON FATE APPROACH IN THAT ALL PLAN PARTICIPANTS ARE MEASURED AGAINST THE SAME, ORGANIZATION WIDE CRITERIA VS. INDIVIDUAL EFFORTS. THIS FOSTERS A COMMON PURPOSE ACROSS LEADERSHIP AND A SHARED SENSE OF ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THE OVERALL SUCCESS OF SUTTER HEALTH. TO ENSURE THAT EXTRAORDINARY EFFORTS BY INDIVIDUALS CAN BE RECOGNIZED AND THAT ACTIONS OF LEADERSHIP ARE CONSISTENT WITH SUPPORTING SUTTER HEALTH'S OVERALL MISSION, VISION, AND VALUES, SUTTER'S LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN APPROACH ALSO INCORPORATES A COMBINATION OF CEO AND SUTTER HEALTH COMPENSATION COMMITTEE DISCRETION. IN SOME CASES, THE SUTTER HEALTH COMPENSATION COMMITTEE HAS DELEGATED AUTHORITY TO THE PRESIDENT & CEO TO MODIFY INDIVIDUAL AWARDS WITHIN LIMITS THAT HAVE BEEN PRE-APPROVED BY THE SUTTER HEALTH COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. THIS INCLUDES BOTH THE REDUCTION AND INCREASE OF AWARD AMOUNTS. SUCH MODIFICATIONS GENERALLY DO NOT EXCEED +/- 20% AND ARE EMPLOYED JUDICIOUSLY. IN ALL CASES, THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD DETERMINES ACHIEVEMENT OF ORGANIZATION GOALS AND MAKES FINAL AWARD DETERMINATION WHICH MAY RESULT IN A REDUCTION OF AWARD IF APPROPRIATE. ALL SENIOR EXECUTIVE AWARDS ARE REVIEWED FOR COMPENSATION REASONABLENESS AND APPROVED PRIOR TO PAYMENT BY THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE.
SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 8 JILL RAGSDALE WAS HIRED IN JUNE 2015 AND RECEIVED SUTTER COMPENSATION COMMITTEE APPROVAL FOR SALARY IN DECEMBER 2015.

AFFORDABILITY HEADQUARTERED IN SACRAMENTO, A COMMUNITY-BASED BOARD OF DIRECTORS GOVERNS SUTTER HEALTH. TO VIEW A LIST OF SUTTER HEALTH AFFILIATES, PLEASE VIEW FORM 990, SCHEDULE R.
FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 1A THE AFFAIRS AND MANAGEMENT OF SUTTER HEALTH ARE SUPERVISED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE HAS THE POWER TO ACT ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD AND TO TRANSACT ALL REGULAR BUSINESS DURING THE PERIOD BETWEEN MEETINGS OF THE BOARD. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE IS COMPRISED OF THE BOARD CHAIR, WHO SERVES AS CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE, THE PRESIDENT, THE SECRETARY, THE CHAIR OF THE FINANCE AND PLANNING COMMITTEE, AND AT LEAST ONE DIRECTOR-AT-LARGE. WHEN A CHAIR-ELECT HAS BEEN APPOINTED BY THE BOARD, THE CHAIR-ELECT SERVES AS A VOTING MEMBER OF THE COMMITTEE THE YEAR PRIOR TO SERVING AS BOARD CHAIR. FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 11B PROCESS USED BY MANAGEMENT &/OR THE GOVERNING BODY TO REVIEW FORM 990: SUTTER HEALTH HAS A CENTRALIZED TAX DEPARTMENT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE FORM 990. ANNUALLY THE TAX DEPARTMENT RECEIVES AND PROVIDES TRAINING AND EDUCATION TO APPROPRIATE PERSONNEL WHO ASSIST THE TAX DEPARTMENT IN COLLECTING AND REVIEWING DATA TO BE REPORTED ON THE FORM 990. THE PREPARATION MATERIAL IS REVIEWED BY VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS INCLUDING TAX, FINANCE, LEGAL, AND HUMAN RESOURCES. A NATIONAL ACCOUNTING FIRM PREPARES AND REVIEWS THE RETURN. A COMPLETED RETURN IS THEN REVIEWED BY THE TAX DEPARTMENT, LEGAL DEPARTMENT, FINANCE DEPARTMENT, AND THE CFO BEFORE THE RETURN IS FILED.
FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 12 PROCESS TO MONITOR TRANSACTIONS FOR CONFLICTS OF INTEREST: EMPLOYEES ARE EDUCATED ON THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY AND THE NEED TO MAKE DISCLOSURE AS PART OF ANNUAL COMPLIANCE EDUCATION. IN ADDITION, ANNUALLY A DISCLOSURE STATEMENT IS COMPLETED BY ALL DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS, WHICH INCLUDES AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT THEY HAVE READ THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY. ON THIS STATEMENT THE INDIVIDUAL WILL LIST A WIDE RANGE OF INFORMATION WHICH INCLUDES BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS, EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIPS, PROPERTY INTERESTS, AND THOSE OF RELATED PARTIES. THE CEO AND BOARD CHAIR WILL REVIEW THE STATEMENTS AND MONITOR SITUATIONS THAT MAY POSE A POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST. THE CEO AND BOARD CHAIR MAY CONSULT WITH THE OFFICE OF THE GENERAL COUNSEL AS NECESSARY. IF THERE IS A POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST RELATED TO A PARTICULAR TRANSACTION, THE INTERESTED INDIVIDUAL MUST DISCLOSE THE EXISTENCE AND NATURE OF THE RELATIONSHIP. THE BOARD CHAIR MAY APPOINT A DISINTERESTED PERSON OR COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE THE CONFLICT. UNTIL THE POTENTIAL CONFLICT IS RESOLVED, THE BOARD CHAIR MAY REQUEST THE INDIVIDUAL TO NOT PARTICIPATE DURING RELATED PRESENTATIONS AND DISCUSSIONS. IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES INVOLVING AN ACTUAL CONFLICT, THE INTERESTED INDIVIDUAL SHALL REFRAIN FROM VOTING ON ANY MATTER RELATED TO THE TRANSACTION.
FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 15 PROCESS FOR DETERMINING COMPENSATION: THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE SUTTER HEALTH BOARD OF DIRECTORS RETAINS ULTIMATE DISCRETIONARY AUTHORITY OVER ALL ELEMENTS OF COMPENSATION TO ASSURE THAT ORGANIZATIONAL PURPOSES ARE APPROPRIATELY BEING SERVED. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE USES CREDIBLE DATA SOURCES AND MAINTAINS AN OBJECTIVE "ARMS-LENGTH" DECISION-MAKING PROCESS, ENSURING THE INTEGRITY OF SUTTER'S EXECUTIVE PROGRAMS AND CONSISTENCY WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S OVERALL MISSION. IN ORDER TO ENSURE EXTERNAL COMPETITIVENESS, NATIONAL, CALIFORNIA AND LOCAL MARKET AREA COMPENSATION DATA COMPARISONS ARE REVIEWED. COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS INCLUDES: (A) BASE SALARY, (B) TOTAL CASH (BASE SALARY + ANNUAL INCENTIVE) AND (C) TOTAL REMUNERATION (BASE SALARY + ANNUAL INCENTIVE + BENEFITS AND LONG TERM INCENTIVE). THIS ANALYSIS INCLUDES COMPARABLE ORGANIZATIONS AND GEOGRAPHIC CONSIDERATIONS. FOR THE MOST SENIOR EXECUTIVE POSITIONS, NATIONAL COMPARISONS FOR ORGANIZATIONS SIMILAR IN SIZE, SCOPE AND COMPLEXITY AS SUTTER HEALTH ARE MOST APPROPRIATE SINCE IT IS A NATIONAL MARKETPLACE IN WHICH SUTTER COMPETES FOR EXECUTIVE TALENT. ON THE OTHER HAND, BECAUSE CALIFORNIA'S UNDERLYING COMPENSATION STRUCTURE IS HIGHER THAN NATIONAL DATA (ESPECIALLY IN THE BAY AREA), REGIONAL PAY COMPARISONS AND ADJUSTMENTS ARE MADE. OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES OF THIS ORGANIZATION UNDERGO A REVIEW AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE APPROVAL ANNUALLY, AND SUCH APPROVAL IS RECORDED IN THE MINUTES. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION REVIEW WAS LAST COMPLETED IN DECEMBER, 2015.
FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 19 AVAILABILITY OF GOVERNING DOCUMENTS, CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY, & FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC: THE SUTTER HEALTH SYSTEM POSTS ITS CURRENT AND PAST AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT SUTTERHEALTH.ORG. OTHER DOCUMENTS ARE ALSO LOCATED AT THIS WEBSITE INCLUDING THE ANNUAL REPORT, MISSION STATEMENT, HISTORY, AND LINKS TO AFFILIATE WEBSITES. THE GOVERNING DOCUMENTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC AT THIS TIME.
