The filer's explanations (Part III)

Part I, Line 1a

Tax gross-up payments related to deferred compensation are provided to certain executives and managers. Amounts are included in taxable compensation.

Part I, Line 3

Covenant Health, the parent company of LeConte Medical Center, used the following methods in establishing the compensation of President/CEO, James D. VanderSteeg: compensation committee, independent compensation consultant, written employment contract, compensation survey or study, and approval by the board or compensation committee. Additional detail is provided in response to Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Lines 15a and 15b within Schedule O.

Part I, Line 4b

Covenant Health maintains a nonqualified deferred compensation ("NQDC") plan intended to support retention of President and CEO, James D. VanderSteeg, and EVP and CFO, Joseph C. Dolan. Employer contributions of $321,903 for James D. VanderSteeg and $72,802 for Joseph C. Dolan are reported as deferred compensation on Schedule J, Part II, Column C. Contributions along with 2024 earnings of $114,551 for James D. VanderSteeg and $4,468 for Joseph C. Dolan are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. Amounts are combined with other compensation and considered for reasonableness. Compensation procedures are discussed in detail in Schedule O (Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15a). Please note that the amounts included in Part II, Column C as contributions to the NQDC plan for James D. VanderSteeg and other executive leaders are deferred but NOT received during the filing year. We report compensation in both the year earned and the year paid, as required by IRS guidelines; however, wages appear overstated due to dual reporting of compensation earned in one year and distributed in a subsequent year.
