Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

The filer's explanations (Part III)

Part I, Lines 4a-b
The following executives listed in Schedule J, Part II participated in a 457(f) retirement plan provided by Ballad Health (BH). The 457(f) plan is a nonqualified tax-deferred compensation plan available to a select group of key executives for the intent of supporting retention and to offer a competitive total retirement program. Account balances have a "substantial risk of forfeiture". In addition to creditor risk, substantial risk of forfeiture is created through default risk if the participant's employment with Ballad Health is terminated prior to age 65. However, the 457(f) plan contains a non-compete provision that provides the account balance to be paid in a lump sum after the executive satisfies the two-year non-compete period. This provision applies to employer contributions if the executive has provided eligible service for six or more years. The executive will receive the entire account balance if he/she becomes disabled, dies or if the executive terminates for "good reason or is involuntarily terminated without "good cause" within a 24-month period after a change-of-control occurs. Distributions from this plan are subject to federal, state, and local taxes on the entire account balance upon distribution. Alan Levine $214,191 Eric Deaton $ 78,933 Lynn Krutak $ 70,942 Clay Runnels $ 70,664 Julie Bennett $ 41,515 Shane Hilton $ 50,175 Joshua McFall $ 38,555 Andrew Wampler $ 25,902 Lisa Carter $ 50,744 Mark Wilkinson $ 44,571 Lemmie Taylor $ 13,074 The following executive received a change-of-control payment. The payment was reported as taxable income with appropriate tax withheld and remitted to the IRS. Tim Belisle $161,641
