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.

RECOGNIZING THAT ITS LEADERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE QUALITY OF CARE, PATIENT SERVICES AND OVERALL FINANCIAL HEALTH OF ONE OF THE LARGEST PRIVATE EMPLOYERS IN LINCOLN/LANCASTER COUNTY, BRYAN HEALTH'S BOARD HAS ESTABLISHED A COMPENSATION PLAN THAT MATCHES THIS LEVEL OF RESPONSIBILITY. THIS PLAN, KNOWN AS THE SENIOR MANAGEMENT COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY IS REVIEWED AT LEAST ANNUALLY BY BRYAN HEALTH'S COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. THIS COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY TARGETS BASE SALARY FOR SENIOR MANAGERS AT THE 50TH PERCENTILE OF THE MARKET. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE IS APPOINTED BY BRYAN HEALTH'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND IS MADE UP OF INDEPENDENT COMMUNITY LEADERS WHO ALL SERVE VOLUNTARILY, AND WHO MUST ADHERE TO A STRINGENT CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION IS DETERMINED AND REVIEWED PURSUANT TO GUIDELINES OUTLINED IN THE INTERMEDIATE SANCTION RULES UNDER IRC SECTION 4958 INCLUDING TAKING STEPS TO MEET THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION STANDARD OF REASONABLENESS UNDER TREASURY REGULATION SECTION 53.4958-6. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE CONDUCTS A COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL REVIEW OF ALL COMPENSATION PROVIDED BY THE ORGANIZATION TO THE SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM. THIS REVIEW IS CONDUCTED BY THE COMMITTEE BY UTILIZING NATIONAL SALARY SURVEYS, CONDUCTED BY INDEPENDENT EXTERNAL FIRMS. COMPENSATION FOR SENIOR MANAGERS IS COMPARED TO COMPENSATION OF SENIOR MANAGERS AT LIKE INSTITUTIONS ACROSS THE U.S. TO DETERMINE THAT THE VALUE OF COMPENSATION PROVIDED IS REASONABLE AND AT FAIR MARKET VALUE. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ALSO WORKS DIRECTLY WITH AN EXTERNAL INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT TO REVIEW THE REASONABLENESS OF TOTAL COMPENSATION PROVIDED TO THE SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM, AND TO ASSURE THAT THE TOTAL COMPENSATION PAID CONFORMS TO THE OVERALL COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY. THE COMPENSATION CONSULTANT PROVIDES WRITTEN OPINIONS TO THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE THAT ASSESSES THE REASONABLENESS OF THE TOTAL EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PAID TO SENIOR MANAGERS. THE ANNUAL COMPENSATION REVIEW PROCEDURE WAS COMPLETED BY THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ON MARCH 21, 2024. ALL DECISIONS OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ARE CONTEMPORANEOUSLY DOCUMENTED IN THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE MINUTES WHICH ARE TIMELY REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE COMMITTEE.
