“The organization pays no compensation to officers or trustees; as the organization has no employees, it does not pay any compensation to any key employees. Certain officers and directors of the filing organization are employed by a related organization, wake forest university health sciences (wfuhs) and by an unrelated but affiliated organization, wake forest university baptist medical center (wfubmc) and the determination of the compensation of such individuals is conducted via the process utilized by the wfubmc board, as follows: the advocate health compensation and benefits committee ("the committee") of the advocate health, inc. Board of directors ("the board") has authority as the board delegates to it, for the review and approval of executive compensation. The committee relies upon an external, independent compensation consultant retained directly by the committee to provide third-party compensation comparability data for evaluating the competitiveness and reasonableness of executive compensation and benefits programs relative to market practices for similarly situated healthcare organizations. In evaluating compensation, the committee follows corporate governance best practice such as adherence to the company's executive compensation philosophy and review processes; processes to ensure committee member and compensation consultant independence; data from healthcare organizations of comparable size, structure, and complexity; and establishment of the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness, per irs guidelines. Minutes of the deliberations of the committee are maintained in the advocate health, inc. Legal department. Three of the filing organization's officers and directors are compensated by a related organization, wake forest university (wfu), and their compensation is reviewed and approved in accordance with wfu's similar procedures.”

“A medical center integration agreement (mcia) was originally entered into in 2010 among four parties: wake forest university (wfu), wake forest university health sciences (wfuhs), wake forest university baptist medical center (wfubmc), and north carolina baptist hospital (ncbh). Pursuant to the terms of the original mcia, the operation of wfuhs and ncbh, and all of the respective subsidiaries of each, is delegated to wfubmc. Additionally, the corporate officers of wfubmc generally serve as the corporate officers of wfuhs and ncbh. The mcia was revised and restated in 2020 to delegate oversight and management authority over wfubmc to atrium health, inc. (ahi). Certain directors and/or corporate officers of wfuhs, ncbh, & wfubmc also serve as directors or corporate officers of ahi. Wfu and wfuhs are organizations related to the filing organization. Ncbh, wfubmc, and ahi are organizations unrelated to the filing organization. Thus, certain directors and officers of the filing organization devote hours to related organizations (wfu & wfuhs) and unrelated organizations (wfubmc, ncbh, and ahi).”
