Return Reference Explanation
PART I, LINE 4B THE ORGANIZATION'S CEO PARTICIPATED IN A SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN (SERP). THE AMOUNT OF DEFERRED COMPENSATION ACCRUED DURING THE FISCAL YEAR FOR THE PLAN WAS $73,617.
PART II: ALL EMPLOYEES OF THE FOUNDATION OF FIRSTHEALTH, INC. ARE LEASED FROM FIRSTHEALTH OF THE CAROLINAS, INC. FIRSTHEALTH'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS DETERMINES COMPENSATION FOR THE CEO THROUGH ITS COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ("COMMITTEE"). THE COMMITTEE IS COMPOSED OF BOARD MEMBERS WHO ARE INDEPENDENT OF FIRSTHEALTH MANAGEMENT, HAVE NO PERSONAL INTEREST IN THE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS, ARE NOT RELATED TO OR UNDER THE CONTROL OF ANY INDIVIDUAL WHOSE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT IS BEING REVIEWED, HAVE NO MATERIAL BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP WITH FIRSTHEALTH, AND ARE NOT PAID FOR THEIR SERVICES AS A BOARD MEMBER. THE COMMITTEE RETAINS AN INDEPENDENT CONSULTANT TO CONDUCT PERIODIC COMPENSATION ANALYSES TO HELP ENSURE FIRSTHEALTH'S COMPENSATION PRACTICES AND COMPENSATION LEVELS ARE REASONABLE. THIS CONSULTANT PROVIDES ONLY ADVISORY SERVICES RELATED TO COMPENSATION MATTERS TO FIRSTHEALTH. TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN THE HIGHEST CALIBER OF HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS NEEDED TO SUSTAIN THE QUALITY OF THE HEALTHCARE FIRSTHEALTH PROVIDES TO THE COMMUNITIES THAT IT SERVES, COMPENSATION MUST BE COMPETITIVE WITH THAT PROVIDED BY OTHER COMPETING ORGANIZATIONS IN THE AREA JOB MARKET. WHEN EXECUTIVE POSITIONS ARE FILLED, FIRSTHEALTH TYPICALLY CONDUCTS NATIONAL SEARCHES. FIRSTHEALTH BENCHMARKS AGAINST ORGANIZATIONS OF COMPARABLE SIZE AND MISSION, ACROSS THE REGION AND THE NATION. MARKET DATA IS ASSEMBLED FOR ALL ELEMENTS OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION (I.E. CASH COMPENSATION, BENEFITS AND PERQUISITES). COMPENSATION LEVELS REFLECT THE SCOPE OF THE CEO'S RESPONSIBILITIES, EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND, EXPERIENCE AND INDUSTRY STANDING, AS WELL AS INDIVIDUAL AND ORGANIZATION PERFORMANCE. THE MOST RECENT REVIEW WAS PERFORMED DURING FISCAL YEAR 2018. A SIMILAR PROCESS TO THAT FOR THE CEO IS AFFECTED FOR DETERMINING THE COMPENSATION OF THE OTHER CORPORATE OFFICERS OR KEY EMPLOYEES OF FIRSTHEALTH (I.E. USE OF INDEPENDENT CONSULTANT, COMPARABLE INDUSTRY DATA, ETC.). THE COMMITTEE REVIEWS AND APPROVES THE CEO'S PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENTS AND COMPENSATION RECOMMENDATIONS FOR OTHER CORPORATE OFFICER AND KEY EMPLOYEES. ALL COMPENSATION DECISIONS ARE MADE IN A MANNER THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH FIRSTHEALTH'S BOARD-APPROVED COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY. THE MOST RECENT YEAR REVIEW WAS PERFORMED DURING FISCAL YEAR 2018.
