The filer's explanations (Part III)

Schedule J, Part I, Line 3 Arrangement used to establish the top management official's compensation

PURSUANT TO THE BYLAWS OF CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL OF CHICAGO MEDICAL CENTER ("MEDICAL CENTER"), THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE MEDICAL CENTER IS CHARGED WITH REVIEWING AND APPROVING SENIOR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION FOR THE MEDICAL CENTER AND ITS AFFILIATES (INCLUDING ANN & ROBERT H. LURIE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL OF CHICAGO (LURIE CHILDREN'S) AND LURIE CHILDRENS SURGICAL FOUNDATION) AND THE COMPENSATION FOR ANY PHYSICIAN WHO MEETS THE CRITERIA FOR REVIEW AND APPROVAL BY THE COMMITTEE. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE HAS ADOPTED A WRITTEN EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY WHICH IT FOLLOWS WHEN IT REVIEWS AND APPROVES THE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS OF THE ORGANIZATION'S SENIOR MANAGEMENT, INCLUDING THE PRESIDENT. THE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY IS SUBJECT TO PERIODIC REVIEW BY THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE FOR CONTINUED APPROPRIATENESS IN THE CURRENT MARKET. WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANTS AND INFORMATION FROM A VARIETY OF SOURCES (SPECIFIED ON SCHEDULE J), THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE CONFIRMED THE TOTAL AMOUNTS TO BE PAID TO IDENTIFIED EXECUTIVES AND PHYSICIANS WERE REASONABLE AND COMPARABLE TO AMOUNTS PAID BY SIMILARLY SITUATED ORGANIZATIONS TO INDIVIDUALS IN FUNCTIONALLY SIMILAR POSITIONS. LEGAL COUNSEL PERIODICALLY ADVISES THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE WITH RESPECT TO FEDERAL TAX REQUIREMENTS IN SETTING COMPENSATION AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE "REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS" UNDER THE FEDERAL TAX LAW INTERMEDIATE SANCTIONS RULES. THE PROCESS FOLLOWED BY THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE, INCLUDING A DESCRIPTION OF THE DATA RELIED UPON AND THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE'S DECISIONS, WAS THOROUGHLY AND CONTEMPORANEOUSLY DOCUMENTED. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE HAS EXPRESSLY REVIEWED THE REASONABLENESS OF COMPENSATION PAID TO IDENTIFIED EXECUTIVES AND PHYSICIANS, AND HAS CONCLUDED, AS THE RESULT OF A PROCESS THAT IS DESIGNED TO QUALIFY FOR THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS, THAT ALL SUCH AMOUNTS ARE REASONABLE AND DO NOT EXCEED FAIR MARKET VALUE FOR THE SERVICES PROVIDED. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE IS COMPRISED OF MEMBERS OF THE MEDICAL CENTER BOARD OF DIRECTORS WHO HAVE BEEN DETERMINED TO BE DISINTERESTED (WHICH MEANS NO COMMITTEE MEMBER HAS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST) FOR THESE PURPOSES. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE CONDUCTS AN ONGOING, REGULAR REVIEW OF THE DISINTERESTED STATUS OF ITS MEMBERS, AND WILL SEEK THE RECUSAL FROM DECISIONMAKING OF ANYONE HAVING AN INTEREST WITH RESPECT TO ONE OR MORE EXECUTIVES SO AS TO PRESERVE THE DISINTERESTED STATUS OF THE COMMITTEE AND, AS A RESULT, THE APPLICATION OF THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS.

Schedule J, Part I, Line 4b Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan

Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago maintains a defined contribution supplemental executive retirement plan ("DC SERP"), which was established on January 1, 2017 and is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for certain employees in executive positions. The benefits in the DC SERP are in the form of a fixed annual contribution rate and an earnings credit. Each year's contribution and earnings are at risk and will become fully vested and taxable only after five years of future employment service, or upon reaching age 62 with at least three years of service. Several listed persons in this Form 990 participate in the DC SERP, and the unvested contributions made for them are included in Schedule J, Part II, Column (C). The following individuals participated in the DC SERP and received a vested payment during 2024 which is reported in Column B (iii): Thomas P. Shanley, MD $253,173 Fatema Zanzi $77,376 CEO Deferred Compensation Listed individual Thomas Shanley MD is the sole participant in an additional supplemental retirement benefit arrangement that began in 2021. He is eligible to earn a benefit that will not become vested for several years. A prorated portion of the benefit (representing the portion earned in 2024) is reported in Column (C) as unvested deferred compensation, and will be reported again as compensation if and when the full benefit becomes vested and is subject to tax. The independent Compensation Committee of the Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center board, whose diligent review and approval process is described elsewhere in these narratives, has reviewed and approved Dr. Shanley's total compensation in a manner that qualifies for the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness under the federal tax law intermediate sanctions rules, and as part of this review process took into account the benefit being earned under this additional arrangement.

Schedule J, Part I, Line 7 Non-fixed payments

The organization provides annual incentive compensation to senior management under a senior management incentive compensation plan. These amounts are included in Schedule J, Part II, Column B (ii). The plan is designed to offer opportunities for additional compensation tied to performance against pre-determined financial, patient satisfaction, patient safety and individual goals approved in advance by the Compensation Committee of the Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center (Medical Center) board of directors, which serves as the Compensation Committee of Lurie Children's and Lurie Children's Surgical Foundation, Inc. The Compensation Committee has expressly reviewed the reasonableness of all such payments and has concluded, as the result of a process that is designed to qualify for the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness under federal tax law, that all such amounts are reasonable and do not exceed fair market value for the services provided.

Schedule J, Part II RELATED COMPENSATION

THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUALS ARE NOT COMPENSATED BY THE REPORTING ORGANIZATION FOR THEIR SERVICE AS DIRECTORS OR OFFICERS OF THE REPORTING ORGANIZATION. Rather, the compensation reported on Form 990, Part VII and on Schedule J, Part II reflects compensation paid by Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago (Lurie Children's) for the individual's substantial and full-time services as an employee.
