FURTHER IN COMMITTEE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE COMPENSATION FOR THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, THE CEO RECUSES HIM/HERSELF FROM THAT PROCESS.

WELLSTAR'S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY DEFINES THE MARKET AS BEING COMPRISED OF COMPARABLE NOT-FOR-PROFIT HEALTH CARE DELIVERY SYSTEMS, I.E., NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS SIMILAR IN COMPLEXITY AND SCALE TO WELLSTAR. TO ASSIST THE COMMITTEE IN FULFILLING ITS DUTIES, THE COMMITTEE ENGAGED SULLIVAN COTTER TO PROVIDE MARKET COMPENSATION DATA TO COMPARE TO THE WELLSTAR POSITIONS WHOSE COMPENSATION THE COMMITTEE OVERSEES.
