Supplemental Information
Provide the information, explanation, or descriptions required for Part I, lines 1a, 1b, 3, 4a, 4b, 4c, 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b, 7, and 8, and for Part II. Also complete this part for any additional information.
Return Reference Explanation
PART I, LINE 1A ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE DOES NOT HAVE A WRITTEN POLICY REGARDING REIMBURSEMENT OR PROVISION OF CLUB EXPENSES. HOWEVER, ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE OWNS A CORPORATE MEMBERSHIP AT A LOCAL GOLF CLUB, IN WHICH THREE ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE EMPLOYEES CAN BE DESIGNATED TO USE THE FACILITIES. CLUB EXPENSES ARE PAID BY ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE, BUT ARE TREATED AS TAXABLE INCOME TO THE RESPECTIVE ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE EMPLOYEES, SUBJECT TO FEDERAL AND STATE TAX WITHHOLDINGS. THE CLUB EXPENDITURES ARE REVIEWED ANNUALLY BY THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, IN ACCORDANCE WITH IRS INTERMEDIATE SANCTION GUIDELINES.
PART I, LINE 3 COMPENSATION DEFINED. THE COMPENSATION REPORTED FOR THE EMPLOYEES SET FORTH ON SCHEDULE J IS COMPRISED OF THE FOLLOWING: BASE COMPENSATION INCLUDES NONDISCRETIONARY PAYMENTS, AGREED UPON IN ADVANCE, CONTINGENT ONLY UPON THE PAYEES' PERFORMANCE OF AGREED UPON SERVICES (SUCH AS SALARY OR FEES). INCENTIVE COMPENSATION INCLUDES PAYMENTS BASED ON SATISFACTION OF PRE-DETERMINED PERFORMANCE TARGETS SUCH AS QUALITY/PATIENT SAFETY GOALS, EMPLOYEE AND CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT GOALS, ORGANIZATIONAL GROWTH, AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE, AMONG OTHER THINGS. OTHER REPORTABLE COMPENSATION INCLUDES AN EXECUTIVE RETENTION 457F PLAN, WHICH BECAME EFFECTIVE ON JANUARY 1, 2015. PRE-TAX CONTRIBUTIONS ARE ACCUMULATED ANNUALLY AND ARE DISTRIBUTED ON JANUARY 1ST OF THE 2ND YEAR, IF STILL EMPLOYED OR SOONER BASED ON CERTAIN EXCEPTIONS. THERE IS TYPICALLY A 2 YEAR DEFERRAL PERIOD BEFORE PAYMENTS ARE RELEASED. THE FIRST PAYMENT ON THE EXECUTIVE RETENTION PLAN, RELATED TO CONTRIBUTIONS ACCUMULATED IN 2015, WILL GENERALLY BE DISTRIBUTED ON JANUARY 1, 2017 AND CONTRIBUTIONS ACCUMULATED IN 2016 WILL GENERALLY BE DISTRIBUTED ON JANUARY 1, 2018. IN ADDITION, OTHER REPORTABLE COMPENSATION INCLUDES LONG-TERM DISABILITY COVERAGE, CELL PHONE ALLOWANCES, CASH-OUT OF UNUSED PAID TIME OFF (PTO) HOURS (ONLY FOR EMPLOYEES WHO LEAVE OUR ORGANIZATION), IMPUTED VALUE OF LIFE INSURANCE BENEFITS, TAXABLE PAYABLE PAY, AND SEVERANCE, AS APPLICABLE. CERTAIN EXECUTIVES CAN ALSO RECEIVE REPORTABLE COMPENSATION THROUGH A SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN (SERP), ONCE THEY HAVE VESTED IN THE PLAN; HOWEVER EXECUTIVES LISTED ON THIS TAX RETURN HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED THIS BENEFIT SINCE THEY HAVE MET THE VESTING REQUIREMENTS. NON-TAXABLE BENEFITS INCLUDES PRE-TAX PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS (SUCH AS FLEXIBLE MEDICAL SPENDING, DEPENDENT CARE, AND EMPLOYEE HEALTH BENEFIT PREMIUM), AND THE EMPLOYER PORTION OF CERTAIN EMPLOYEE BENEFITS SUCH AS HEALTH INSURANCE, DENTAL INSURANCE, VISION INSURANCE, LIFE INSURANCE, BASE CONTRIBUTIONS TO RETIREMENT PLANS, MATCHING OF EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT CONTRIBUTIONS, ETC. PAY PRACTICE: ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE UTILIZES A SINGLE EMPLOYER ID FOR ALL OF ITS AFFILIATED ENTITIES FOR EMPLOYMENT PURPOSES. AS SUCH, ACTUAL COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS ARE CHARGED TO THE RESPECTIVE ENTITIES AND THE RESULTING COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS ARE REPORTED ON EACH AFFILIATE IRS FORM 990 AS IF PAID DIRECTLY BY SUCH AFFILIATE. AS APPLICABLE, THE SAME AND NON-ADDITIVE COMPENSATION AND EMPLOYMENT BENEFIT PLAN CONTRIBUTION AMOUNTS WERE ALSO DISCLOSED IN THE ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE INC. RELATED ENTITIES RETURNS. INDEPENDENT GUIDELINES: WHEN SETTING COMPENSATION FOR THE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, TRUSTEES, KEY EMPLOYEES, AND THE HIGHEST COMPENSATED EMPLOYEES, ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE FULLY COMPLIES WITH THE PROCEDURAL SAFE GUARDS EMBODIED IN IRS REGULATIONS. COMPENSATION FOR ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, TRUSTEES, KEY EMPLOYEES, AND THE HIGHEST COMPENSATED EMPLOYEES IS ENTIRELY SET BY A COMMITTEE OF ADVENTIST HEALTHCARE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. IN SETTING COMPENSATION, THE GOVERNING BOARD COMMITTEE RELIES UPON MARKET COMPARABILITY DATA PROVIDED BY AN INDEPENDENT OUTSIDE COMPENSATION CONSULTANT WHO PROVIDES A SUMMARY OF HEALTH CARE SALARIES AND BENEFITS FOR COMPARABLE SIZED ORGANIZATIONS BOTH NATIONALLY AND IN THE BALTIMORE-WASHINGTON REGION. TO FURTHER ENSURE REASONABLENESS, BOTH COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS ARE TARGETED AT THE 50TH PERCENTILE (OR MEDIAN) OF THE MARKET.
PART I, LINE 4B CERTAIN EMPLOYEES RECEIVED COMPENSATION FROM AN EXECUTIVE RETENTION 457F PLAN, WHICH BECAME EFFECTIVE ON JANUARY 1, 2015. PRE-TAX CONTRIBUTIONS ARE ACCUMULATED ANNUALLY AND ARE DISTRIBUTED ON JANUARY 1ST OF THE 2ND YEAR, IF STILL EMPLOYED OR SOONER BASED ON CERTAIN EXCEPTIONS.
