All officers, directors and key employees are required to report any potential or actual conflicts of interest as they arise, promptly and in writing, to the Chief Compliance Officer.

| Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management official | Swedish Covenant Health follows the requirements set forth in the IRS rebuttable presumption of reasonableness in determining compensation for the CEO of the corporation. The process includes review of comparability data, retention of an outside compensation consultant, and contemporaneous substantiation of the deliberation and decision through detailed minutes of the compensation committee and full board meetings where executive compensation is considered. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b Process to establish compensation of other employees | The Governance Committee of Swedish Covenant Health has established the executive compensation program to enable the Organization to recruit, motivate and retain highly qualified executives to successfully carry out its Mission Statement and Core Values. The program also serves to align the interests of our executive officers with those of our community by placing a reasonable portion of compensation at risk through performance goals that, if achieved, are expected to increase the aggregate health level of the communities we serve and contribute to the long-term success of the Organization. Additionally, the executive compensation program will enable the Organization to reward performance that emphasizes teamwork and close collaboration among executive officers, supports Organizational excellence by leveraging enterprise-wide capabilities, drives efficiencies and integrates care and services for the benefit of our communities. The program will also assist the Organization in rewarding the achievement of specific annual, long-term and strategic goals, and align executive officers' interests with those of the communities we serve by rewarding performance that meets or exceeds established goals, with the ultimate objective of increasing community health. The overall executive compensation program aligns short-term and long-term performance with the goals of the Organization and ensures cost-effective and efficient use of capital resources by offering the appropriate amounts and mix of compensation. Base Salary represents a fixed compensation component set at a level commensurate with the roles and responsibilities of each individual executive position to attract, motivate and retain top executive talent. The Annual Incentive Plan is a variable short-term performance-based compensation component with target award amounts set by the Governance Committee for each eligible executive position. Payouts reflect the degree to which the Organization and the individual executives have performed against predetermined 12-month metrics. Resulting total cash compensation levels may be below or above target amounts based on the Organization's performance against its short-term goals. Goals are sometimes set at a "stretch" level such that target performance may result in above-median levels of compensation. The Annual Incentive plan is intended to align the executive compensation program with the Organization's business strategy, and strengthen the relationship between pay and performance. The Long-Term Incentive Plan is a variable three-year performance-based compensation component with target award amounts set by the Governance Committee for each eligible executive position. Payouts reflect the degree to which the Organization and the individual executives have performed against predetermined 12-, 24- and 36-month metrics. Resulting total cash levels may be below or above target amounts based on the Organization's performance against its long-term goals. Goals are sometimes set at a "stretch" level such that target performance may result in above-median levels of compensation. The Long-Term Incentive Plan is intended to align the executive compensation program with the Organization's business strategy, strengthen the relationship between pay and performance, reinforce the link between the interests of executives and the long-range vision of the Board of Directors and promote the retention of executive talent. Qualified and non- qualified retirement benefit plans are provided by the Organization to help meet the executives' pre-retirement and post-retirement financial needs, serve as a backstop for our performance-based programs and promote the retention of executive talent. The Board of Directors and the Governance Committee are comprised of voluntary citizens of the community who perform their duties without compensation for hours devoted to Board work. A majority of voting members of the Governance Committee are independent, and the Committee is responsible for the development of the philosophy, policy and objectives that guide the Organization's executive pay programs as well as establishing our performance standards and determining the compensation of our senior executives. The Governance Committee retains Pearl Meyer as their independent compensation consultant to assist the Committee in the continued development and evaluation of the Organization's compensation policies and practices and the Committee's determination of compensation. The Governance Committee has the sole authority to retain and terminate the independent compensation consultant and to review and approve the consultant's fees and other retention terms. The Governance Committee has the authority to approve new executive compensation plans and material amendments to existing executive compensation plans. The Governance Committee provides the Board with reports on its actions and decisions following every Governance Committee meeting. Management provides data, analysis and recommendations for the Governance Committee's consideration regarding the Organization's executive compensation programs and policies and assists the Governance Committee in carrying out its responsibilities. Management also provides information to the Governance Committee's independent compensation consultant in connection with the consultant's role in advising the Governance Committee. The CEO typically attends the Committee meetings. The Governance Committee also meets regularly in executive session outside the presence of management. While the Governance Committee considers the recommendations of the CEO and the input received from its independent compensation consultant, most compensation decisions for the Organization's executives are made by management within their prescribed parameters dictated by the Governance Committee. The Governance Committee retains its independent compensation consultant to conduct a comprehensive review of the total compensation provided to the Organization's executives relative to competitive and comparable market practices, ensure that the Organization's compensation programs provide total compensation opportunities that are reasonable for purposes of Intermediate Sanctions (IRC Section 4958), assess the competitiveness of the Organization's compensation programs with respect to healthcare industry peer organizations, assist the Governance Committee with its charter review, review annual disclosures and the compensation of "disqualified individuals" whose compensation is subject to a reasonableness review under IRC Section 4958, provide an opinion letter to the Governance Committee regarding the reasonableness of the compensation of the Organization's executives and other "disqualified persons," and help to create a rebuttable presumption of reasonableness with regard to executive compensation. |
