Return Reference Explanation
SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 1A The organization permits first class travel for certain officers, directors and key executives in limited circumstances when specified travel criteria are met. SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 3 THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF THE ORGANIZATION IS NOT COMPENSATED BY THE BECKMAN RESEARCH INSTITUTE BUT BY THE MEDICAL CENTER. CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION IS ESTABLISHED BY THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE OF THE CITY OF HOPE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. ALL SOURCES INDICATED IN LINE 3 ARE UTILIZED BY THIS COMMITTEE TO SET SUCH COMPENSATION. SEE NARRATIVE FOR SCHEDULE O, PART VI, LINE 15A. SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 4B THE BECKMAN RESEARCH INSTITUTE HAS AN EXECUTIVE SUPPLEMENTAL ACCUMULATION PLAN THAT IS A NON-QUALIFIED SECTION 457(F) PLAN. THE PLAN IS DESIGNED AND MAINTAINED TO PROVIDE A SELECT GROUP OF MANAGEMENT OR HIGHLY COMPENSATED EMPLOYEES WITH DEFERRED COMPENSATION. THE PLAN VESTS AFTER THREE (3) FISCAL YEARS OF SERVICE AND THE VESTED TOTALS ARE INCLUDED IN SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMN B(III). PRIOR TO VESTING, THE ANNUAL AMOUNTS ARE INCLUDED IN SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMN C. PURSUANT TO THE PLAN DOCUMENT, VESTED PARTICIPANTS ARE ENTITLED TO WITHDRAW FROM THEIR VESTED ACCOUNT AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND FICA TAXES. THESE AMOUNTS ARE REMITTED TO THE APPROPRIATE TAXING AUTHORITIES ON BEHALF OF THE PARTICIPANTS. DURING CALENDAR YEAR 2015 THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUALS WITHDREW THE REFERENCED AMOUNTS TO COVER SUCH TAXES: VALERIE BINGHAM $ 1,754 PAUL CONOCENTI $47,153 WAEL FAKHRY $31,603 DEBRA FIELDS $ 5,602 DAVID HORNE $ 7,550 ASHLEY LEE $33,923 STEPHANIE NEUVIRTH $14,319 WILLIAM SARGEANT $83,625 GREGORY SCHETINA $ 5,380 ROBERT STONE $28,858 THESE AMOUNTS HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE PARTICIPANTS' INCOME ON SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMN B(III). WAEL FAKHRY AND STEPHANIE NEUVIRTH ENDED EMPLOYMENT WITH CITY OF HOPE DURING THE CALENDAR YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2015 AND RECEIVED DISTRIBUTIONS FROM THE PLAN TOTALING $61,484 AND $137,759, RESPECTIVELY. THESE AMOUNTS HAVE BEEN REPORTED AS TAXABLE COMPENSATION IN EITHER THE CURRENT YEAR OR IN A PRIOR YEAR 990 IN SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMN B(III). SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 7 The Beckman Research Institute Executives and some key employees are eligible to receive incentive compensation under an Annual Incentive Plan (AIP) tied to two (2) key indicators and two or more individual objectives. The key indicators reflect key areas of strategic focus and the exempt healthcare mission of the City of Hope and affiliates and are both financial and non-financial. The potential incentive compensation is based on a weighted average among all indicators and is paid as a percentage of each individual participants base compensation. The key indicators are weighted at 30%, while the individual objectives are weighted at 70%. The AIP is under the control of and administered by the independent directors serving on the Executive Compensation and Governance Committee. To be eligible, the participants in the AIP must be employed by the Beckman Research Institute at the time of the incentive plan payment, and be meeting or exceeding performance expectations. City of Hope may in its discretion cancel all or a portion of any incentive plan payment or award to any participant, whether before or following payment of such award, subject to compliance with applicable law, under these circumstances (Cancellation Policy): A) An incentive plan payment or award is made for a fiscal period and City of Hope subsequently restates or otherwise adjusts the annual performance measurement calculation in a manner that would reduce the size of the award or payment, or; B) An incentive plan payment or award is made for fiscal period and City of Hope subsequently determines that one or more of the annual performance measurement calculations on which the award is based or is paid are materially inaccurate. During calendar year 2015 City of Hope paid the incentive compensation earned for fiscal year 2015 and these amounts have been reported in Schedule J, Part II, Column B(II). The Beckman Research Institute has an Executive Long Term Incentive Plan (LTI) for certain executives that is designed to drive long-term organizational performance and transformation by aligning executives with the multi-year strategic plan and incentivizing them for achieving key organizational and strategic objectives and goals. With three-year vesting periods, the LTI also provides a means for retaining key executive talent. The initial performance period of the plan (Cycle 1) runs from October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2015, with a new three year performance period beginning each October 1 thereafter (e.g., Cycle 2 runs from October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2016). To be eligible, the participants in the LTI must be employed by the City of Hope at the time of the incentive plan payment, and be meeting or exceeding performance expectations. While the LTI does meet the requirements for a substantial risk of forfeiture, as of the calendar year ending December 30, 2015, 9 months of year two plan Cycle 2, 3 months of year three plan Cycle 2 and 3 months of year three plan Cycle 2; 9 months of year 1 plan Cycle 4 of the potential LTI amounts have been estimated and accrued during the current tax year and are reported as deferred compensation to the plan participants in Schedule J, Part II, Column C. THE LTI IS SUBJECT TO THE SAME CANCELLATION POLICY AS THE AIP DESCRIBED ABOVE. ADDITIONALLY, CITY OF HOPE MADE CHANGES TO ITS VACATION AND HOLIDAY ACCRUAL POLICIES DURING CALENDAR YEAR 2015 THAT REDUCED THE NUMBER OF HOURS AN ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEE COULD CARRY AT ANY TIME. THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHOSE ACCUMULATED HOURS EXCEEDED THE NEW MAXIMUM ACCRUAL RECEIVED A ONE-TIME PAYOUT OF THOSE ACCRUED HOURS. THIS PAYOUT HAS BEEN REFLECTED AS REPORTABLE COMPENSATION IN SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMN B(III).
SCHEDULE J, PART II JOHN J. ROSSI, PHD, AND LINDA MALKAS, PHD, ARE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE BECKMAN RESEARCH INSTITUTE AND ARE ALSO EMPLOYEES OF AND COMPENSATED BY THE BECKMAN RESEARCH INSTITUTE. DR. ROSSI IS A PROFESSOR AND DIRECTOR OF MOLECULAR MEDICINE AND THE DEAN OF THE CITY OF HOPE'S IRELL AND MANELLA GRADUATE SCHOOL OF BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES. DR.

FORM 990, PART III LINE 1 ORGANIZATION'S MISSION - CONTINUATION: BECKMAN RESEARCH INSTITUTE'S MISSION IS TO SUPPORT INNOVATIVE AND CREATIVE RESEARCH AND TO EDUCATE FUTURE SCIENTISTS IN THE BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES. RESEARCH IS OF THE HIGHEST CALIBER AND DIRECTED TO AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE MOLECULES AND PROCESSES OF LIFE, INCLUDING THOSE PROCESSES IMPORTANT TO THE CAUSES, PREVENTION AND CURE OF HUMAN DISEASE. BECKMAN RESEARCH INSTITUTE IS PART OF AN INTEGRATED SYSTEM THAT COMBINES BENCH AND CLINICAL RESEARCH ACTIVITIES DIRECTLY WITH PATIENT CARE, IN BOTH AN IN-PATIENT AND OUT-PATIENT SETTING. THIS INTEGRATED SYSTEM KNOWN AS CITY OF HOPE COLLECTIVELY REFERS TO CITY OF HOPE, CITY OF HOPE NATIONAL MEDICAL CENTER, CITY OF HOPE MEDICAL FOUNDATION, BECKMAN RESEARCH INSTITUTE OF THE CITY OF HOPE, AND CITY OF HOPE AUXILIARIES. AS AN INNOVATIVE BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH, TREATMENT AND EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION, WE ARE COMMITTED TO TRANSFORMING THE FUTURE OF HEALTH. EVERY DAY WE TURN SCIENCE INTO PRACTICAL BENEFIT. WE TURN HOPE INTO REALITY. WE ACCOMPLISH THIS THROUGH EXQUISITE CARE, INNOVATIVE RESEARCH, AND VITAL EDUCATION FOCUSED ON ELIMINATING CANCER, DIABETES AND OTHER LIFE-THREATENING DISEASES. CITY OF HOPE IS GUIDED BY A COMPASSIONATE, PATIENT-CENTERED PHILOSOPHY AND SUPPORTED BY A NATIONAL FOUNDATION OF PHILANTHROPY.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS - CONTINUATION: RESEARCHERS AT BECKMAN RESEARCH INSTITUTE UNDERTAKE FUNDAMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS IN MOLECULAR GENETICS AND CELLULAR BIOLOGY, STUDYING BIOLOGICAL PROCESSES, CELL DIFFERENTIATION AND EARLY DEVELOPMENT, CELLULAR SIGNALING, RNA PROCESSING AND GENOMIC STRUCTURE. THEY HAVE ACHIEVED MAJOR ADVANCES IN RECOMBINANT DNA TECHNOLOGY, MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES, GENE THERAPY, EPIGENETICS, SI-RNA TECHNOLOGY AND CANCER IMMUNOTHERAPEUTICS. A DEPARTMENT IN BECKMAN RESEARCH INSTITUTE IS DEDICATED TO UNDERSTANDING AND DEVELOPING TREATMENTS BASED ON CANCER'S INTERACTION WITH THE IMMUNE SYSTEM. OTHER RESEARCH HAS IDENTIFIED PROTEINS THAT MAY PLAY CRITICAL ROLES IN IMMUNE RESPONSE AND MAY LEAD TO NEW TREATMENT STRATEGIES. ANOTHER MAJOR EMPHASIS FOR THE BECKMAN RESEARCH INSTITUTE SCIENTISTS IS PERSONALIZED RESEARCH AND MEDICINE - ANALYZING PATIENTS' UNIQUE GENETIC PROFILES TO DEVELOP TAILORED THERAPIES FOR THEIR SPECIFIC DISEASE. ALL OF THIS RESEARCH IS UNIQUELY SUPPORTED BY ONSITE MANUFACTURING FACILITIES THAT CAN TEST AND PRODUCE QUANTITIES OF CELL-BASED, GENE-BASED AND MOLECULAR THERAPIES. THESE FACILITIES FURTHER SERVE AS RESOURCES TO MEDICAL AND SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH CENTERS NATIONWIDE. BECKMAN RESEARCH INSTITUTE SCIENTISTS SERVE AS FACULTY MEMBERS IN CITY OF HOPE'S IRELL & MANELLA GRADUATE SCHOOL OF BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES. THE GRADUATE SCHOOL'S MISSION IS TO TRAIN STUDENTS TO BE OUTSTANDING RESEARCH SCIENTISTS IN CHEMICAL, MOLECULAR AND CELLULAR BIOLOGY. THE SCHOOL IS ACCREDITED BY THE WESTERN ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES.

DETERMINATIONS AS TO WHETHER A CONFLICT OF INTEREST EXISTS AND REVIEW OF SUCH CONFLICT DISCLOSURES ARE MADE BY GENERAL COUNSEL AND CHIEF COMPLIANCE OFFICER AND, AS APPLICABLE, THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD OR BOARD OF DIRECTORS OR THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND COMMITMENT COMMITTEE, BASED UPON THE CATEGORY OF PERSON MAKING THE DISCLOSURE.

FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINES 15A AND 15B The Executive Compensation and Governance Committee of City of Hopes Board of Directors (Committee), pursuant to a delegation of authority from the Board, is responsible for setting the compensation of the CEO and certain other senior executives. THE COMMITTEE ALSO SERVES AS THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE OF THE BECKMAN RESEARCH INSTITUTE. The Directors on the Committee are independent and adhere to a strict conflict of interest policy and deliberation and decision making are substantiated in the minutes of the Committees meetings. The minutes are reviewed and approved at the next meeting of the Committee. As part of the deliberation process, the Committee receives advice from an independent, third-party compensation consultant with respect to executive compensation, including review of comparable and benchmark data, current compensation philosophy, structure, and administration of the executive cash compensation programs at City of Hope and affiliates. The Committee carries out the Board of Directors overall responsibilities relating to executive compensation. The executive compensation philosophy is designed to assist in attracting and retaining the caliber of executive leadership required to enable City of Hope to achieve the highest levels of community benefit, impact to clinical care, quality research and efficient philanthropic development. The Committee targets the 50th percentile of base salary and the 75th percentile of total cash compensation of the market in which City of Hope competes for executives. Under an Annual Incentive Plan (AIP) and a Long Term Incentive Plan (LTI), a substantial portion of executive compensation is linked directly to performance goals approved in advance by the Committee. As a result, performance compensation may vary from year to year. Goal setting under the AIP is tied to annual performance, including the attainment of specific business objectives for strategic and financial performance as well as non-financial measures such as patient satisfaction and quality of patient care. The LTI is designed to drive long-term organizational performance and transformation by aligning executives with the multi-year strategic plan and incentivizing them for achieving key organizational and strategic objectives and goals. With three-year vesting periods, the LTI also provides a means for retaining key executive talent. The Committee conducts annual compensation reviews for executives and certain key employees and this was last completed on December 23, 2016. The compensation programs and ranges for all officers and key employees listed on From 990, Part VII at the SVP or equivalent level and above are reviewed by this Committee.
