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 — 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, LINE 1A
CHARTER TRAVEL IS USED BY ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S AND AFFILIATED ENTITIES' BOARD MEMBERS AND STAFF (AND OCCASIONALLY ACCOMPANYING SPOUSES/COMPANIONS) WHEN IT IS DEEMED THE MOST EFFICIENT METHOD OF TRAVEL TO DISTANT AREAS WITHIN THE STATE OR TO SURROUNDING STATES FOR PURPOSES RELATED TO ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S BUSINESS. SEPARATE (NON-CHARTER) TRAVEL FOR COMPANIONS IS REIMBURSED BY THE EMPLOYEE IF SUCH TRAVEL IS ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; THUS, SUCH TRAVEL IS NOT CONSIDERED TAXABLE COMPENSATION TO THE EMPLOYEE. FOUR OFFICERS/EMPLOYEES USED CHARTER TRAVEL DURING THE CALENDAR YEAR. BECAUSE THE CHARTER TRAVEL WAS USED FOR ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S BUSINESS PURPOSES, IT WAS NOT CONSIDERED AS TAXABLE WAGES.
PART I, LINE 3
COMPENSATION FOR ANY ACNW EXECUTIVE OR SENIOR OFFICER (PRESIDENT; EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT; SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT) WHO IS NOT A CONTRACTED UAMS EMPLOYEE IS REVIEWED BY THE ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HUMAN RESOURCES AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE WHICH IS ESTABLISHED THROUGH THE BYLAWS OF ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S, INC. THE HUMAN RESOURCES AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE HAS THE FULL AUTHORITY AND SPECIFIC RESPONSIBILITY FOR REVIEWING AND APPROVING COMPENSATION POLICIES, BASE SALARY AND INCENTIVE COMPENSATION LEVELS, EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT AND OTHER EXECUTIVE BENEFIT PLANS FOR HEALTH SYSTEM SENIOR MANAGEMENT, INCLUDING OFFICERS OF THE CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES WHO ARE "DISQUALIFIED PERSONS" UNDER SECTION 4958 OF THE CODE. THE POLICIES AND PROGRAMS REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE HUMAN RESOURCES AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE SHALL BE DESIGNED TO ENSURE THAT THE CORPORATION AND ITS AFFILIATES REMAIN COMPETITIVE AND REASONABLE RELATIVE TO THE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS PRACTICES OF SIMILARLY SITUATED HEALTH SYSTEMS LOCALLY AND NATIONALLY, AND TO PERMIT THE CORPORATION AND SUCH AFFILIATES TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN SUPERIOR SENIOR MANAGEMENT, IN FURTHERANCE OF THE CORPORATION'S AND AFFILIATES PURPOSES. THE HUMAN RESOURCES AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE SHALL HAVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW, THE AUTHORITY TO APPROVE THE COMPENSATION PACKAGES FOR SENIOR MANAGEMENT OF THE CORPORATION AND THE AFFILIATES. IN ITS PROCESS, THE COMMITTEE SHALL OBTAIN AND MUST RELY UPON APPROPRIATE DATA AS TO COMPARABILITY PRIOR TO MAKING ITS DETERMINATION OF REASONABLENESS WITH RESPECT TO THE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS OF DISQUALIFIED PERSONS. APPROPRIATE DATA INCLUDES, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO, COMPENSATION LEVELS PAID BY SIMILARLY SITUATED ORGANIZATIONS, BOTH TAXABLE AND TAX-EXEMPT, FOR FUNCTIONALLY COMPARABLE POSITIONS; THE AVAILABILITY OF SIMILAR SERVICES IN THE GEOGRAPHIC AREA OF THE CORPORATION, CURRENT COMPENSATION SURVEYS COMPILED BY INDEPENDENT FIRMS; AND ACTUAL WRITTEN OFFERS FROM SIMILAR INSTITUTIONS COMPETING FOR THE SERVICES OF THE DISQUALIFIED PERSON. THE COMMITTEE MAY RELY UPON OPINIONS OF QUALIFIED LEGAL, ACCOUNTING, VALUATION AND EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION EXPERTS. CONTEMPORANEOUSLY WITH MAKING ITS DETERMINATION OF REASONABLENESS WITH RESPECT TO THE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT OF THE CEO AND DISQUALIFIED PERSONS, THE COMMITTEE SHALL DOCUMENT IN ITS MINUTES THE BASIS FOR ITS DECISIONS. A VERBAL REPORT IS PROVIDED TO THE BOARD BY THE CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE. MINUTES ARE AVAILABLE FOR REVIEW UPON BOARD MEMBER REQUEST TO THE BOARD CHAIR.
PART I, LINE 4B
THE ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN (DCP), WAS INSTITUTED ON 6/30/2014. THE DCP IS A 457(F) NONQUALIFIED SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLAN, PROVIDING ANNUAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO CERTAIN EXECUTIVES AT A PERCENTAGE OF THEIR BASE SALARY IN EFFECT ON JUNE 30 OF THE PLAN YEAR. THE SUPPLEMENTAL COMPENSATION SERVES TO ENCOURAGE CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT WITH ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S AND ITS AFFILIATES. THE PLAN PROVIDES THAT DEFERRED AMOUNTS ARE PAID AS SOON AS ADMINISTRATIVELY POSSIBLE AFTER BEING VESTED. IT IS INTENDED THAT SUCH PAYMENTS QUALIFY FOR THE "SHORT-TERM DEFERRAL" EXEMPTION FROM IRC SECTION 409A, AND FOR TAX DEFERRAL UNDER IRC SECTION 457(F). PER THE PLAN DOCUMENT, EACH DCP CONTRIBUTION FOR A PLAN YEAR AND ITS ASSOCIATED EARNINGS VEST AS FOLLOWS, ON THE EARLIER OF: - (SUBACCOUNT); THE FIRST DAY OF THE PLAN YEAR FOLLOWING THREE (3) CONTINUOUS PLAN YEARS OF EMPLOYMENT BY THE PARTICIPANT WITH ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S OR AFFILIATE, WHICH BEGINS ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE PLAN YEAR FOR WHICH THE CONTRIBUTION IS CREDITED. - (PRIMARY ACCOUNT, INCLUDING SUBACCOUNTS) - ATTAINMENT OF AGE 65 AND AT LEAST 3 YEARS OF SERVICE AS A DCP PARTICIPANT - (PRIMARY ACCOUNT, INCLUDING SUBACCOUNTS) - DEATH OR PERMANENT DISABILITY - (PRIMARY ACCOUNT, INCLUDING SUBACCOUNTS) - INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION (OTHER THAN FOR CAUSE) - (PRIMARY ACCOUNT, INCLUDING SUBACCOUNTS) - PLAN TERMINATION FOR TAX YEAR 2022 (FISCAL YEAR 2023), FIVE REPORTABLE EMPLOYEES WERE ELIGIBLE AND PARTICIPATING IN THE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN. SOME OF THESE EMPLOYEES RECEIVED DISTRIBUTIONS PER THE PLAN DOCUMENT. SUCH AMOUNTS ARE NOTED BELOW. - MARCELLA DODERER: AC/ACH/ACNW PRESIDENT/CEO - $211,458 - GENA WINGFIELD: AC EVP AND CFO - $62,593 PER THE PLAN DOCUMENT, UPON BECOMING VESTED IN A PLAN YEAR SUBACCOUNT AND AS SOON AS ADMINISTRATIVELY PRACTICABLE AFTER SUCH VESTING DATE, BUT NO LATER THAN THE END OF THE CALENDAR YEAR IN WHICH SUCH VESTING DATE OCCURRED, INDIVIDUAL PARTICIPANTS WILL BE PAID A LUMP SUM PAYMENT EQUAL TO THE PLAN YEAR SUBACCOUNT BALANCE AS OF THE JUNE 30 IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING SUCH VESTING DATE.
FORM 990, SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINES 5-7
THE INCENTIVE PLANS FOR ALL ENTITIES HAVE SPECIFIC RULES AND CALCULATIONS FOR BONUSES. NONE ARE CONTINGENT ON REVENUES OR NET EARNINGS OF THE ORGANIZATIONS (ANY), AND SINCE THEY ARE CALCULATED BASED ON A SPECIFIC FORMULA, THEY ARE NOT "NON-FIXED".
FORM 990, PART VII, SECTION A, LINE 5:
DIRECTOR AND CHIEF OF STAFF, ROBERT SAYLORS, M.D. WAS COMPENSATED BY UAMS AS AN EMPLOYEE FOR SERVICES RENDERED TO ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL (ACH) AND ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S NORTHWEST (ACNW) FOR WHICH ACH REMITTED PAYMENT LISTED AS "REPORTABLE COMPENSATION FROM RELATED ORGANIZATIONS" IN PART VII. THE AMOUNT NOTED AS COMPENSATION IN SCHEDULE J FOR THE PHYSICIAN NOTED ABOVE WAS THE DESIGNATED AMOUNT PER THE RELATED CONTRACT WITH UAMS.
