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.

The filer's explanations (Part III)

Schedule J, Part I, Line 4b Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan
CERTAIN EXECUTIVES DO PARTICIPATE IN SUPPLEMENTAL NONQUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLANS. PAYOUT OCCURRED DURING THE YEAR FROM A SUPPLEMENTAL NONQUALIFIED PLAN TO CURRENT OR FORMER* INDIVIDUALS. IN ADDITION, The Nebraska Medical Center (TNMC) HAS A SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN (AMENDED AND RESTATED JANUARY 1, 2008) WHICH CONSTITUTES AN UNFUNDED, UNSECURED PLAN TO PROVIDE SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT BENEFITS TO A SELECT GROUP OF MANAGEMENT OR HIGHLY COMPENSATED EMPLOYEES UPON SEPARATION OF SERVICE, SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE PLAN. THE BENEFIT IS PAID IN FULL ONE YEAR AFTER EMPLOYMENT SEPARATION, AND THE AMOUNT IS BASED ON THE PARTICIPANT'S ANNUAL COMPENSATION, VALUE OF THE PARTICIPANT'S TNMC QUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLAN BENEFIT, SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFIT, AND NUMBER OF YEARS OF SERVICE. PAYOUTS THAT OCCURRED DURING THE YEAR FROM THE SUPPLEMENTAL NONQUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLAN TO THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUALS: JAMES LINDER, MD: $329,351 HARRIS A. FRANKEL, MD: $72,756 FRANK VENUTO: $85,826 THERESA FRANCO*: $22,500
Schedule J, Part I, Line 6a Compensation contingent on net earnings of the organization
THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL RESULTS ARE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN CALCULATING COMPENSATION IN ADDITION TO OTHER NON-FINANCIAL FACTORS. EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE COMPENSATION IS DETERMINED BY SEVERAL KEY METRICS THAT ARE ESTABLISHED BY THE NEBRASKA MEDICAL CENTER GOVERNING BODY. THESE METRICS ARE INCLUSIVE OF STRATEGIC, FINANCIAL, OPERATIONAL AND QUALITY OUTCOMES. ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, THE NEBRASKA MEDICAL CENTER GOVERNING BODY REVIEWS ACHIEVEMENT OF PRESET TARGETS AND APPROVES INCENTIVES WHEN WARRANTED. THESE PERFORMANCE PAYMENTS ARE SET IN CONSIDERATION OF TOTAL COMPENSATION VS. COMPARED TO MARKET FOR SIMILAR POSITIONS. AS IT WAS DETERMINED THAT IT IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE ORGANIZATION TO HAVE A PORTION OF THEIR BASE PAY SUBJECT TO FORFEITURE UNLESS THE PRE-DETERMINED FINANCIAL AND NON-FINANCIAL FACTORS DISCUSSED ABOVE ARE ACHIEVED. INCENTIVE COMPENSATION RELATED TO FY24 PERFORMANCE WERE PAID TO THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUALS: JAMES LINDER, MD: $724,153 MICHAEL A. ASH, MD: $264,556 STEPHANIE DAUBERT: $252,352 HARRIS A.
