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.

PART I, LINE 4B
PENSION RESTORATION PLAN: SSM HEALTH (SSMH) PROVIDES THIS SUPPLEMENTAL DEFINED BENEFIT NONQUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLAN TO ANY EMPLOYEE WHO IS A PARTICIPANT IN THE SSMH QUALIFIED DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN WHO EARNS OVER THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE COMPENSATION LIMIT. THE PLAN "RESTORES" THE BENEFITS TO THESE EMPLOYEES THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN PROVIDED UNDER THE SSMH QUALIFIED PLAN IF THE REGULATIONS DID NOT IMPOSE COMPENSATION LIMITS. AN INDIVIDUAL CAN TAKE A DISTRIBUTION FROM THE PLAN AT (1) AGE 65 OR OLDER IF THE INDIVIDUAL IS STILL EMPLOYED BY SSMH OR (2) AGE 55 OR OLDER IF THE INDIVIDUAL IS NO LONGER EMPLOYED BY SSMH. NO INDIVIDUALS LISTED ON PART VII OF FORM 990 RECEIVED DISTRIBUTIONS FROM THE PLAN IN 2024. CAPITAL ACCUMULATION PLAN: SSMH PROVIDES THIS SUPPLEMENTAL NONQUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLAN TO EXECUTIVE LEVEL EMPLOYEES. THE ORGANIZATION CONTRIBUTED A PERCENTAGE OF THE EMPLOYEE'S BASE SALARY INTO THEIR CHOICE OF A SELECT LIST OF INVESTMENTS. THE DEPOSITS AND EARNINGS OF THE PLAN ARE OWNED BY SSMH AND ARE TAX-DEFERRED UNTIL A DISTRIBUTION IS MADE TO THE EMPLOYEE. IN ADDITION, THE PLAN HAS SPECIAL SAFEGUARDS IN PLACE TO PROTECT THE FUNDS FROM CONTINGENCIES, OTHER THAN INSOLVENCY. FOR CONTRIBUTIONS MADE TO THE PLAN IN 2014 OR AFTER, THE DISTRIBUTION WILL OCCUR AFTER THE COMPLETION OF FOUR PLAN YEARS FOR ALL EXECUTIVES THAT ARE STILL ACTIVELY EMPLOYED ON THE DISTRIBUTION DATE. ANY ACTIVE PARTICIPANT 65 YEARS OR OLDER WILL RECEIVE THE CONTRIBUTION IN THE CURRENT YEAR. THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUALS LISTED ON PART VII OF THE FORM 990 RECEIVED DISTRIBUTIONS FROM THIS PLAN IN 2024. ALL DISTRIBUTIONS RECEIVED FROM THE PLAN IN THE CURRENT YEAR WERE INCLUDED IN THE INDIVIDUAL'S TAXABLE COMPENSATION. STEVE SMOOT - $159,608
