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)

Part I, Line 5
PURPOSE: THE PURPOSE OF THE PLAN IS TO PROVIDE INCENTIVE COMPENSATION TO ITS MANAGEMENT AND PROFESSIONAL STAFF WHO MAKE SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE ACHIEVEMENT OF BUDGETED FINANCIAL AND STRATEGIC GOALS AS ESTABLISHED BY WALKER METHODIST, INC. ELIGIBILITY: ELIGIBILITY FOR THE PLAN IS LIMITED TO REGULAR MANAGEMENT EMPLOYEES WHO RETAIN THE JOB TITLE OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER, VICE PRESIDENT OF OPERATIONS, VICE PRESIDENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES, EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS, DIRECTORS, CONTROLLER, DIRECTORS OF HOUSING, DIRECTOR OF SPIRITUAL CARE, CORPORATE DIRECTORS OF HUMAN RESOURCES AND EDUCATION, AND DEPARTMENT HEADS. OTHER KEY EMPLOYEES MAY BE INCLUDED IN THE PLAN AS APPROVED BY THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER. IN 2023, THE CEO APPROVED INCLUSION OF CORPORATE MANAGERS AND NURSE MANAGERS. IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PLAN FOR A PARTICULAR POSITION, EMPLOYEES, WHO ARE NEWLY HIRED OR PROMOTED TO AN ELIGIBLE POSITION, MUST BE EMPLOYED IN THE POSITION BY JUNE 30TH OF THAT PLAN YEAR. PLAN GOALS: THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER HAS APPROVED THE INCLUSION OF DEPARTMENT HEADS, CORPORATE MANAGERS, AND NURSE MANAGERS IN THE PLAN. DEPARTMENT HEADS, CORPORATE MANAGERS, AND NURSE MANAGERS HAD ONLY ONE GOAL AROUND THEIR RESPECTIVE COMMUNITY'S BUDGETED OPERATING EBITDA. IN ADDITION TO MEETING THE FINANCIAL PLAN GOAL, THEY MUST HAVE BEEN CONTRIBUTING MEANINGFULLY TO THE ADVANCEMENT OF WALKER'S MISSION TO ENHANCE THE LIVES OF OLDER ADULTS THROUGH A CULTURE OF CARE, RESPECT AND SERVICE, AND HAVE OVERALL PERFORMANCE IN LINE WITH WALKER'S VALUES OF RESPECT, IMAGINATION AND COLLABORATION. IF THEIR COMMUNITY ACHIEVED AN OPERATING EBITDA GREATER THAN THE THRESHOLD LEVEL, THEY EARNED A PLAN PAYMENT OF $500. IF THEIR RESPECTIVE COMMUNITY THEY EARNED A PLAN PAYMENT OF $1,000. EACH DEPARTMENT HEAD, CORPORATE DESCRIBED ABOVE; PAYMENTS WERE NOT CUMULATIVE. FOR 2024, PLAN PAYMENTS TO ALL OTHER ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES IDENTIFIED IN THE ACHIEVED AN OPERATING EBITDA THAT IS GREATER THAN TARGET BY 3% OR MORE, MANAGER, OR NURSE MANAGER WAS ELIGIBLE FOR ONLY ONE OF THE TWO PAYMENTS PLAN WERE EARNED BASED ON ACHIEVING AN ACTUAL EBITDA OF THE PLAN YEAR THAT FALLS WITHIN RANGE OF 93.0% - 115.0% OF BUDGETED OPERATING EBITDA. CORPORATE STAFF PARTICIPANTS HAD ONLY ONE GOAL AROUND WALKER'S BUDGETED OPERATING EBITDA. LOCATION PARTICIPANTS HAD TWO GOALS, WITH 70.0% BASED ON COMMUNITY'S BUDGETED OPERATING EBITDA ACHIEVEMENT AND 30.0% ON CONSOLIDATED ACHIEVEMENT. BOTH THE COMMUNITY AND THE CONSOLIDATED THRESHOLDS MUST HAVE BEEN MET IN ORDER FOR THE LOCATION PARTICIPANTS TO RECEIVE ANY PAYMENT UNDER THIS PLAN, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPLICITLY SET FORTH IN THE PLAN AGREEMENT. IF A COMMUNITY ACHIEVED OPERATING EBITDA GREATER THAN THETHRESHOLD LEVEL AND WALKER ACHIEVED AN OPERATING EBITDA OF THRESHOLD LEVEL OR GREATER, AFTER TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE INCENTIVE PLAN EXPENSES, THE LOCATION PARTICIPANTS EARNED THE VARIABLE PAYOUT AS CALCULATED UNDER THE PLAN. IF A COMMUNITY ACHIEVED AN OPERATING EBITDA OF THRESHOLD LEVEL OR COMMUNITY RECEIVED 50% OF THE PORTION OF THE ELIGIBLE VARIABLE PAYOUT OF THE 70%). WALKER RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CHANGE THE EBITDA TO REFLECT PARTICIPANTS. GREATER AND WALKER DID NOT MEET THE THRESHOLD LEVEL, THE DIRECTOR OF THE ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE COMMUNITY'S BUDGETED OPERATING EBITDA ACHIEVEMENT (50% CHANGES IN THE CURRENT BUSINESS PORTFOLIO. CHANGES ARE COMMUNICATED TO PARTICIPANTS.
