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 — 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 I, LINE 4A: CERTAIN LISTED PERSONS ARE COVERED BY AN EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE POLICY THAT PROVIDES MARKET-STANDARD COMPENSATION, RANGING FROM PAYMENTS OF 9 TO 24 MONTHS OF BASE COMPENSATION, DEPENDING ON THE EXECUTIVE'S POSITION, IN THE EVENT OF A POSITION ELIMINATION OR OTHER INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE GUIDELINES OF THE POLICY. CERTAIN LISTED PERSONS ARE COVERED BY A NON-EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE POLICY THAT PROVIDES MARKET-STANDARD COMPENSATION, RANGING FROM PAYMENTS OF 2 TO 52 WEEKS OF BASE COMPENSATION, DEPENDING ON THE EMPLOYEE'S POSITION AND TENURE, IN THE EVENT OF A POSITION ELIMINATION OR OTHER INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE GUIDELINES OF THE POLICY.

PART I, LINE 4B
CERTAIN LISTED PERSONS PARTICIPATE IN THE COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN (SERP), A NONQUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLAN DESIGNED TO PROVIDE DEFERRED COMPENSATION TO KEY EXECUTIVES WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED MATERIALLY TO THE SUCCESS OF OUR MINISTRY. THE SERP, WHICH BECAME EFFECTIVE IN 2024, IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE HIGHLY COMPENSATED INDIVIDUALS WITH ADDITIONAL RETIREMENT INCOME TO HELP OFFSET REGULATORY LIMITS IN PLACE ON QUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLANS AND SOCIAL SECURITY. EACH ANNUAL CONTRIBUTION IS SUBJECT TO A FOUR-YEAR VESTING OR RETENTION PERIOD. UPON COMPLETION OF THE APPLICABLE FOUR-YEAR RETENTION PERIOD FOR EACH ANNUAL CONTRIBUTION, VESTING WILL OCCUR, AND ANY ACCUMULATED BENEFIT UNDER THE PLAN WILL BE RECEIVED. ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE CALENDAR MONTH AFTER THE FOURTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SERP BENEFIT, THE ANNUAL CONTRIBUTION AND ITS ASSOCIATED INVESTMENT GAINS OR LOSSES BECOME 100% VESTED. IN ADDITION, THE PARTICIPANT'S SERP BENEFIT BECOMES 100% VESTED UPON ANY OF THE FOLLOWING EVENTS. - REACHING THE AGE OF 65 (THE PLAN'S NORMAL RETIREMENT AGE) - DEATH, OR BECOME DISABLED UNDER THE LONG-TERM DISABILITY PLAN OR SOCIAL SECURITY SHOULD EMPLOYMENT END FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN TERMINATION WITH SEVERANCE, RETIREMENT AT AGE 65 OR OLDER, DISABILITY, OR DEATH, UNVESTED SERP FUNDS ARE FORFEITED. IF EMPLOYMENT IS TERMINATED WITH SEVERANCE, THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OUTLINED WITHIN THE SERP, AND NOT THOSE OF ANY SEVERANCE AGREEMENT, WILL CONTROL AND GOVERN PAYMENT ENTITLEMENT UNDER THE SERP. NO PAYMENTS WERE MADE PURSUANT TO THE PLAN DURING 2024. COMPENSATION AMOUNTS FOR THE SUPPLEMENTAL NONQUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLANS DISCUSSED ABOVE ARE REPORTED AS DEFERRED COMPENSATION IN THE YEAR ACCRUED (SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMN C) AND ARE REFLECTED AGAIN AS OTHER REPORTABLE COMPENSATION IN THE YEAR PAID (SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMN B(III)).
