PART I, LINE 4B

INCENTIVE PLAN DISTRIBUTION: JAVON R. BEA - $8,510,830

PART I, LINE 7

BONUSES RECEIVED BY THE OFFICERS FOR MHSC ARE BASED UPON TWO CRITERIA: 1) FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE - UP TO 25% OF BASE SALARY WILL BE PAID BASED ON MEETING BUDGETARY GOALS. 2) LONG TERM INCENTIVE - BASED UPON STRATEGIC IMPLEMENTATION. EMPLOYEES CAN EARN UP TO ANOTHER 25% OF BASE SALARY TO BE PAID OUT OVER 3 YEARS AND IS BASED ON RETENTION AND LONG TERM GOALS.

PART II, LINE 1:

JAVON R. BEA DEFERRED COMPENSATION PAYMENT MR. BEA HAS BEEN EMPLOYED BY MHSC AS PRESIDENT AND CEO OVER THE PAST 36 YEARS. DURING THIS TIME, MR. BEA HAS LED AN INCREDIBLE TRANSFORMATION TAKING A SMALL, SINGLE, STAND-ALONE COMMUNITY HOSPITAL AND CREATING A VERTICALLY INTEGRATED HEALTH SYSTEM WITH 89 FACILITIES IN 50 COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT SOUTHERN WISCONSIN AND NORTHERN ILLINOIS, INCREASING GROSS REVENUE FROM $33 MILLION TO OVER $4.1 BILLION IN FY2024. THIS HAS ALLOWED THE HEALTH SYSTEM TO GO FROM SERVING 89,000 PATIENTS IN 1989 TO OVER 1.9 MILLION PATIENTS TODAY WORKING TOGETHER WITH OVER 7,500+ PARTNERS IN HEALTH CARE AND OVER 800 EMPLOYED PHYSICIANS. TODAY, MHSC HAS BECOME THE LARGEST EMPLOYER IN SOUTHERN WISCONSIN AND NORTHERN ILLINOIS. THIS GROWTH CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO MR. BEA'S VISIONARY LEADERSHIP. LEADERSHIP THAT OVER THE YEARS HAS LED TO MHSC RECEIVING NUMEROUS NATIONAL RECOGNIZED AWARDS INCLUDING BEING NAMED THE FIRST FULLY INTEGRATED HEALTH SYSTEM TO RECEIVE THE MALCOLM BALDRIGE NATIONAL QUALITY AWARD FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES IN THE OVAL OFFICE, THE MAGNET RECOGNITION AWARD, BEING RANKED #1 AND #2 ON AARP'S TOP 100 BEST PLACES TO WORK FOR WORKERS OVER 50, AND BEING RANKED IN THE TOP 25 ON THE TOP 100 INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE NETWORKS LIST BY MODERN HEALTHCARE. THE TURNAROUND OF MHSC IMPLEMENTED BY MR. BEA IS UNPARALLELED. BY PIONEERING A "PARTNERSHIP MODEL" OF COMPENSATION AND DESIGNING A CUSTOM CULTURE OF EXCELLENCE, MR. BEA IS VITAL TO THE DECADES-LONG AND CONTINUING GROWTH AT MHSC. THIS SUCCESS HAS MADE MR. BEA A HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER SPEAKER AND CONSULTANT AS HE IS NOW WELL-RENOWNED FOR HIS INNOVATIONS IN THE AREAS OF INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE AND PHYSICIAN PARTNERSHIP MODELS. THE TREMENDOUS SUCCESS OF MHSC UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF MR. BEA HAS ALLOWED HIM TO RECEIVE PAYOUTS FROM A DEFERRED COMPENSATION PACKAGE WHICH MHSC HAS BEEN PAYING INTO OVER MANY YEARS. THESE PAYMENTS ONLY BECAME PAYABLE IF MHSC ATTAINED CERTAIN DEFINED FINANCIAL AND STRATEGIC GOALS AND THE AMOUNTS ARE AT RISK EVERY SINGLE YEAR. AS INDICATED ABOVE, MANY OF THESE GOALS WERE ACHIEVED WITHIN THE PAST FEW YEARS RESULTING IN A RELEASE OF THESE DEFERRED PAYMENTS WHICH IMPACTED MR. BEA'S COMPENSATION REPORTING. THE SETTING OF THESE GOALS WERE LAID OUT BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS IN COOPERATION WITH NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED COMPENSATION ATTORNEYS AND CONSULTANTS TO MAKE SURE ALL FACTORS WERE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION. MR. BEA'S COMPENSATION HAS ALSO BEEN SCRUTINIZED BY NUMEROUS OUTSIDE ORGANIZATIONS AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE; AND HAS PASSED INSPECTION IN EACH CASE. TOTAL COMPENSATION IS APPROVED ANNUALLY BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF MHSC.
