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 3 The Governance and Compensation committee of the WFUBMC Board of Directors is responsible for reviewing and approving all medical center officers' compensation (including the compensation of most of the officers of the filing organization). The committee utilizes an independent, external compensation consultant firm experienced in health care and higher education compensation that based recommendations on compensation surveys and studies to determine the appropriateness of each officer's compensation. These compensation consultants present total compensation comparability data for the positions for which compensation is being determined. The data is reviewed by the Governance and Compensation Committee of WFUBMC's governing board at its meeting; none of the members of that committee are employees of the filing organization. Minutes of the deliberations of the committee are contemporaneously recorded. In the event that any member of the Governance and Compensation committee has a conflict of interest, that committee member does not participate in the deliberation or approval process, and their abstention from the process is reflected in the minutes.
Part I, Lines 4a-b CERTAIN EXECUTIVES PARTICIPATE IN OR RECEIVE SEVERANCE PAYMENTS AND PAYMENTS FROM SUPPLEMENTAL NON QUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLANS. THE DETERMINATION OF THE AMOUNT OF THE NON QUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLANS FOLLOWED THE FILING ORGANIZATION'S COMPENSATION PROCEDURES AS OUTLINED IN PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 OF THE Form 990. THE FOLLOWING current/FORMER Directors, OFFICERS, and highly compensated employees RECEIVED SEVERANCE AND SERP PAYMENTS IN their calendar year 2016 compensation: Name Severance SERP John D. McConnell, MD -0- 546,312 Barbara Carbone 395,567 -0- Joanne Ruhland -0- 31,600 Lisa Wyatt 104,500 -0- Cheryl Locke -0- 61,120 Edward Abraham -0- 124,000 Name Severance SERP Eric Tomlinson -0- 235,022 Victoria Russell 146,548 145,000 Dan Squires -0- 301,188 The compensation of Dr. Nathan O. Hatch includes a deferred benefit of $300,000.
Part I, Line 7 CERTAIN OFFICERS, KEY EMPLOYEES AND FACULTY MEMBERS HAVE INCENTIVE COMPENSATION COMPONENTS CONTAINED IN THEIR EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS and through medical center policies. THESE ARE OFTEN GOAL-BASED AND ARE DETERMINED IN THE COURSE OF EVALUATION OF THE INDIVIDUAL'S PERFORMANCE BY HIS/HER DEPARTMENT CHAIR, SUPERVISOR OR THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD, AS APPLICABLE.
