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 VII AND SCHEDULE J
IN ACCORDANCE WITH INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE FORM 990 RULES, REGULATIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS, THE COMPENSATION REPORTED IN CORE FORM, PART VII AND SCHEDULE J, PART II OF THIS FORM 990 IS DERIVED FROM 2024 FORMS W-2 AND FORMS 1099 (IF APPLICABLE).
SCHEDULE J, PART I; QUESTION 4B
THE GUTHRIE CLINIC ("TGC") HAS ESTABLISHED AN EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN KNOWN AS THE GUTHRIE CLINIC 457(F) DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN (THE "PLAN") WHICH IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES WITH DEFERRED COMPENSATION BENEFITS IN RECOGNITION OF THEIR DEDICATED AND VALUABLE SERVICE TO TGC. THE PLAN IS INTENDED TO BE AN INELIGIBLE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 457(F) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. EACH CONTRIBUTION VESTS AFTER THREE YEARS OF EMPLOYMENT PROVIDED THE PARTICIPANT REMAINS CONTINUOUSLY EMPLOYED. A PARTICIPANT SHALL BECOME FULLY VESTED IN THE PARTICIPANT'S 457(F) ACCOUNT BENEFIT UPON ATTAINING AGE 62, WITH 5 YEARS OF SERVICE. TGC SHALL DISTRIBUTE THE PARTICIPANT'S 457(F) ACCOUNT BENEFIT, LESS TAXES WITHHELD, THIRTY DAYS AFTER THE PARTICIPANT FIRST BECOMES VESTED IN THE PLAN. FOR YEARS SUBSEQUENT TO A PARTICIPANT ATTAINING AGE 62, THE PARTICIPANT SHALL BE ENTITLED TO THE PARTICIPANT'S DEFERRED COMPENSATION AMOUNT AS OF JULY 1ST IMMEDIATELY SUBSEQUENT TO THE DATE WHEN CREDITED. THE DEFERRED COMPENSATION AMOUNTS REFLECTED IN SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMN C FOR THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUALS INCLUDE UNVESTED BENEFITS IN AN INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 457(F) PLAN (NON-QUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN) WHICH ARE SUBJECT TO A SUBSTANTIAL RISK OF COMPLETE FORFEITURE. ACCORDINGLY, THESE INDIVIDUALS MAY NEVER ACTUALLY RECEIVE THIS UNVESTED BENEFIT AMOUNT. THE AMOUNTS OUTLINED HEREIN WERE NOT INCLUDED IN EACH INDIVIDUAL'S 2024 FORM W-2, BOX 5, AS TAXABLE MEDICARE WAGES: EDMUND SABANEGH, M.D., $161,461 AND PAUL G. VERVALIN, $47,934.

PLEASE REFER TO THIS SECTION OF THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE J FOR THIS INFORMATION BY PERSON BY AMOUNT.
