| Form 990, Part VI, Lines 15 a/b: | The following applies to Lifespan and all of its affiliates, including RIHF:EXECUTIVE COMPENSATIONLifespan's executive compensation philosophy balances appropriate stewardship of resources and the need to be competitive in recruiting and retaining talented individuals. It incorporates market-competitive and performance-related principles, and covers the President and CEO of Lifespan as well as other officers, senior management, and key employees. Lifespan's executive compensation program complies both with law and with contemporary ethical norms, and is administered consistent with the organization's tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and the avoidance of transactions subject to intermediate sanctions under Section 4958 of the IRC. Executive compensation is also administered consistent with Lifespan's Corporate Compliance Policy on Excess Benefit Transactions.The Compensation Committee of the Lifespan Corporation Board of Directors (the Committee), comprised of disinterested Lifespan Board members, is responsible for diligent oversight of executive compensation to ensure compliance with IRC requirements. Its duties include:* Approving eligibility for participation in the executive compensation program * Approving changes in compensation for existing executive participants * Approving guidelines, such as salary ranges and contract terms, on appropriate levels of compensation for other key employees* Approving new, and modifying or terminating existing, executive compensation plans including, but not limited to, annual incentive and executive benefit plans* Approving performance objectives associated with Lifespan's annual incentive plan, including measuring points, and using verified actual performance relative to these objectives as a precondition to approving the payment of any awards under the plan* Authorizing periodic performance benchmark studies to be conducted for purposes of assessing Lifespan's performance within the healthcare industry and the degree to which total remuneration levels at Lifespan are generally commensurate with Lifespan performance relative to healthcare industry performance* Conducting an annual performance review of Lifespan's Chief Executive Officer. The Chair of the Committee conducts and documents this review, based on his/her observations and interpretation of feedback from members of the Board of Directors.* Selecting and engaging qualified, independent, third-party compensation valuation consultants that the Committee charges with rendering opinions with respect to the reasonableness and comparability of compensation as well as the comparative organizations against which compensation is assessed, in accordance with relevant sections of the IRC and Lifespan's executive compensation philosophy. Lifespan's Chief Executive Officer works closely with the Committee to make recommendations on the above topics and keep the Committee informed about contemplated compensation changes for executives and other key employees, as well as candidates for these roles. The CEO also provides periodic updates to the Committee regarding Lifespan's performance relative to compensation-related performance objectives. The Committee's deliberations and actions are documented in minutes prepared for each meeting.PROCESS FOR DETERMINING COMPENSATION Valuation of Total Cash and Total Remuneration: No less frequently than annually, the Committee receives and reviews a total cash compensation valuation of all existing executive compensation program participants prepared by its independent compensation consultant. Annually, the Committee also receives and reviews a total remuneration valuation of all existing executive compensation participants. Base Salary Actions: The CEO recommends any salary adjustments for participants in the executive compensation program, using the results of the valuation study and his/her assessment of individual performance or other pertinent information, for the Committee's consideration.New Participants in Executive Compensation Program: With respect to compensation offers for individuals expected to participate in the executive compensation program, certain members of the Lifespan CEO's Council work with the Committee's independent compensation consultant or rely on information previously provided by the consultant to establish a range of reasonable cash compensation within which recruitment is expected to conclude through acceptance of a reasonable compensation offer. |
