SEE SCHEDULE O DISCLOSURE FOR FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
PART I, LINE 4A CERTAIN LISTED PERSONS PARTICIPATE IN A SEVERANCE PLAN ESTABLISHED BY ITS SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION. THE PLAN PROVIDES MARKET-STANDARD COMPENSATION, RANGING FROM PAYMENTS OF 6 MONTHS TO 2 YEARS 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 PLAN. NO PAYMENTS OCCURRED DURING 2018 PURSUANT TO THE PLAN.
PART I, LINE 4B ONE LISTED PERSON PARTICIPATES IN THE DIGNITY HEALTH EXCESS BENEFIT PLAN, A NONQUALIFIED SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFIT PLAN LIMITED TO PARTICIPANTS IN THE DIGNITY HEALTH RETIREMENT PLAN WHOSE BENEFITS ARE AFFECTED BY THE LIMITATIONS IMPOSED BY SECTIONS 401(A)(17) AND 415 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. BENEFIT SERVICE UNDER THIS PLAN WAS FROZEN AS OF JANUARY 1, 2008. NO PAYMENTS PURSUANT TO THE PLAN OCCURRED DURING 2018. ONE LISTED PERSON IS ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE IN NON-QUALIFIED 457(F) PLANS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO SUBSTANTIAL RISK OF FORFEITURE, AS REQUIRED BY THE IRS. THE 2007 EXECUTIVE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN IS FOR EXECUTIVES HIRED PRIOR TO JUNE 30, 2006. THE BENEFIT IS INTENDED TO BRIDGE THE DIFFERENCE, IF ANY, BETWEEN THE BENEFIT PROVIDED UNDER THE DIGNITY HEALTH EXCESS BENEFIT PLAN HAD BENEFIT SERVICE NOT BEEN FROZEN AT JANUARY 1, 2008, AND THE BENEFITS PROVIDED FROM ALL OTHER QUALIFIED AND NON-QUALIFIED PLANS. BENEFITS VEST UNDER THIS 457(F) PLAN AT THE LATER OF THE DATE THE PARTICIPANT ATTAINS AGE 62 OR IS CREDITED WITH 15 YEARS OF SERVICE. THE 2010 EXECUTIVE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN IS FOR CERTAIN OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES, PRIMARILY THOSE WHO ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE DIGNITY HEALTH EXCESS BENEFIT PLAN OR THE 2007 EXECUTIVE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN DESCRIBED ABOVE. THIS BENEFIT PROVIDES AN ANNUAL ACCRUAL OF 10% OF TOTAL COMPENSATION AND IS PAYABLE ANNUALLY ON JULY 1 ONCE VESTED, WHICH IS AGE 62 WITH 5 YEARS OF SERVICE; THE PLAN ALSO ALLOWS FOR SPECIAL AWARDS. PAYMENTS PURSUANT TO THE PLAN ARRANGEMENTS DURING 2018 INCLUDE L. DEAN, $2,095,773. ONE LISTED PERSON PARTICIPATES IN THE DIGNITY HEALTH SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETENTION/RETIREMENT PLAN, A NONQUALIFIED SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFIT PLAN WHICH IN 2002 WAS OFFERED TO MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT TEAM BY THE DIGNITY HEALTH BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND WOULD BE PAID ONLY IF THE EXECUTIVES STAYED WITH THE ORGANIZATION FOR A SPECIFIED NUMBER OF YEARS AS THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THIS PLAN IS TO PROVIDE FOR THE RETENTION AND RETIREMENT OF THE PARTICIPANTS. THE EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT TEAM IS RECRUITED FROM STABLE CAREERS IN ORGANIZATIONS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND FROM VARIOUS INDUSTRIES. DUTIES ARE BOTH EXTENSIVE AND COMPLEX AND REQUIRE SUBSTANTIAL AND DIVERSE EXPERIENCE AND SKILL SETS TO EXECUTE SUCCESSFULLY. THE CALCULATION FOR THE PAYMENTS TO EACH EXECUTIVE IS BASED ON THE VALUE OF A FINAL AVERAGE PAY ANNUITY BENEFIT BASED ON RETIREMENT AGE AND SERVICE YEARS TO THE ORGANIZATION. DISTRIBUTION OCCURS EACH JULY 1 IF THE PLAN FORMULA WARRANTS A PAYMENT. NO PAYMENTS OCCURRED DURING 2018 PURSUANT TO THE PLAN. 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 REPORTABLE COMPENSATION IN THE YEAR PAID (SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMN B(III)).
SCHEDULE J, PART III THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT DIRECTLY EMPLOY ANY PERSONNEL, HOWEVER, THE SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION'S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY IS DESIGNED TO ASSIST THE ORGANIZATION IN ATTRACTING AND RETAINING THE CALIBER OF EXECUTIVES REQUIRED TO ENABLE TO FULFILL ITS MISSION OF PROVIDING HIGH QUALITY HEALTHCARE FOR ALL PERSONS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY FOR SERVICES, IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES, PROMOTING PATIENT AND EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION, AND ENSURING FINANCIAL STABILITY. A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION IS PERFORMANCE BASED AND IS LINKED TO ORGANIZATIONAL GOALS APPROVED IN ADVANCE BY THE HUMAN RESOURCES AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. THESE GOALS INCLUDE ATTAINMENT OF ANNUAL AND LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE, CERTAIN HEALTHCARE QUALITY STANDARDS AND THE ORGANIZATION'S COMMITMENT TO SERVING THE POOR AND DISENFRANCHISED IN THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES. TOTAL COMPENSATION, WHICH INCLUDES BASE SALARY, ANNUAL AND LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION, IS ESTABLISHED TO APPROXIMATE THE PREVAILING MARKET CONDITIONS FOR EXECUTIVES OF COMPANIES OF SIMILAR SIZE, REVENUES AND COMPLEXITY. PAYMENTS PURSUANT TO A LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE GOAL WERE PAID IN CALENDAR YEAR 2018.
