| PART VI, QUESTION 2 | FAMILY RELATIONSHIP: JOHN O'CONNOR AND LAURA SEN BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS: RICHARD LUBIN, CHRISTOPHER HADLEY AND JANE BROCK-WILSON; JOSH BEKENSTEIN AND ANDREW KAPLAN. |
| PART VI, QUESTION 11 | PROCESS USED TO REVIEW THE FORM 990 THE DANA-FARBER CANCER INSTITUTE TAX DEPARTMENT PROVIDES ALL FINANCIAL ANALYSIS AND OTHER INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED ON THE TAX RETURN TO ITS EXTERNAL TAX PREPARER, ERNST & YOUNG LLP, WHICH PREPARES THE DRAFT RETURN. THE DRAFT RETURN IS THEN REVIEWED BY THE DFCI TAX MANAGER, AS WELL AS THE DFCI OFFICE OF GENERAL COUNSEL AND SENIOR MANAGEMENT, BEFORE IT IS SUBMITTED FOR DFCI AUDIT COMMITTEE REVIEW. AFTER THE AUDIT COMMITTEE REVIEWS THE TAX RETURN, AN ELECTRONIC MESSAGE IS SENT TO ALL BOARD MEMBERS WITH A SECURE LINK TO THE TAX RETURN. THE BOARD HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THE RETURN AND BRING ANY ISSUES TO THE ATTENTION OF THE APPROPRIATE EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT INDIVIDUALS. A FINAL VERSION OF THE FORM IS APPROVED BY THE CFO AND FILED ELECTRONICALLY BY ERNST & YOUNG LLP WITH THE IRS. |
| PART VI, QUESTION 12C | MONITORING & ENFORCEMENT OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY THE OFFICE OF GENERAL COUNSEL AND THE TAX DEPARTMENT DRAFT A CONFLICT OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE QUESTIONNAIRE EACH YEAR AND REQUIRES THAT ALL TRUSTEES, OFFICERS, AND KEY EMPLOYEES FILL OUT A QUESTIONNAIRE IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY POTENTIAL DISCLOSURES FOR DFCI'S RETURNS. THE OFFICE OF GENERAL COUNSEL COMPILES THE LIST OF DISCLOSURES AND GATHERS FINANCIAL DATA FROM THE ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND PAYROLL DEPARTMENT FOR ALL ORGANIZATIONS, EMPLOYEES, INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS, AND OTHER MISCELLANEOUS TRANSACTIONS WHICH WERE DISCLOSED BY ALL INDIVIDUALS. ONCE ALL OF THIS INFORMATION IS COMPILED, THE OFFICE OF GENERAL COUNSEL AND THE TAX DEPARTMENT GOES THROUGH EACH TRANSACTION AND DISCLOSURE TO DETERMINE WHAT NEEDS TO BE DISCLOSED ON THE TAX RETURN. THE TAX DEPARTMENT AND THE OFFICE OF GENERAL COUNSEL ALSO DISCUSSES IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER KNOWN TRANSACTIONS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN DISCLOSED. IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING SUCH SITUATION, THE OFFICE OF GENERAL COUNSEL WILL DISCUSS THE QUESTIONS WITH THE INDIVIDUAL TRUSTEES, OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES INVOLVED. IN ADDITION, THE PROCESS DESCRIBED ABOVE, THE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ANNUALLY REVIEWS ANY NEW CONFLICT OF INTEREST DISCLOSURES AND THEY ADDRESS ANY ISSUES THAT MAY ARISE. THE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE TO BRING ANY MAJOR ISSUES RELATED TO THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY TO THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AND THE ENTIRE BOARD IF DEEMED NECESSARY. PER DFCI'S CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY, IN ORDER TO AVOID A CONFLICT OF INTEREST OR AN APPEARANCE OF A CONFLICT OF INTEREST: 1. A TRUSTEE SHOULD NOT PARTICIPATE IN A VOTE ON A TRANSACTION IN WHICH THE TRUSTEE OR FAMILY MEMBER HAS A FINANCIAL INTEREST AND SHOULD DISCLOSE ANY POTENTIAL CONFLICT BEFORE DFCI ACTS ON THE TRANSACTION. 2. A TRUSTEE, A MEMBER OF HIS OR HER FAMILY, OR AN ENTITY WITH WHICH ONE OR MORE OF THEM HAS A MATERIAL INTEREST, MAY NOT DO BUSINESS WITH DFCI UNLESS EXPRESSLY AUTHORIZED BY DFCI AFTER FULL DISCLOSURE. 3. A TRUSTEE SHOULD FULLY DISCLOSE HIS OR HER ASSOCIATION (INCLUDING EMPLOYMENT, CONSULTING, OR MEMBERSHIP ON A GOVERNING BOARD BY THE TRUSTEE OR A FAMILY MEMBER) WITH AN ENTITY THAT COMPETES WITH OR HAS INTERESTS CONFLICTING WITH THOSE OF DFCI AND SHOULD REFRAIN FROM PARTICIPATING IN ANY VOTE IF THE VOTE AFFECTS DFCI. ONCE A DISCLOSURE HAS BEEN MADE, DFCI'S OFFICE OF GENERAL COUNSEL REVIEWS SUCH CONFLICT WITH THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD WHO DETERMINES IF A CONFLICT EXISTS. WHEN A CONFLICT EXISTS, THE APPROPRIATE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES DETERMINES IF A MORE ADVANTAGEOUS ALTERNATIVE WITHOUT A CONFLICT OF INTEREST EXISTS AND WHETHER ENTERING INTO THE ARRANGEMENT IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF DANA-FARBER. |
| PART VI, QUESTION 15A | PROCESS FOR DETERMINING COMPENSATION OF PRESIDENT PER DFCI'S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY, ANNUALLY THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES REVIEWS THE PRESIDENT'S (DFCI'S CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER) PERFORMANCE AND MAKES A RECOMMENDATION REGARDING COMPENSATION TO THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

THE DECISION OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE IS REPORTED TO THE FULL BOARD. ANNUALLY, FOLLOWING THE FILING OF FORM 990, DFCI COMPARES THE INFORMATION IT REPORTS FOR ITS PRESIDENT TO THE COMPENSATION OF PRESIDENTS/CEO'S AT OTHER AREA HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS AS WELL AS OTHER INSTITUTIONS THAT ARE CONSIDERED DESIGNATED COMPREHENSIVE CANCER CENTERS. THE BOARD COMPLETED THIS PROCESS AS OF MAY 2019. |
