A review of the directors' compensation is conducted each fiscal year. Compensation is approached on an overall basis and the total value of all forms of compensation is established and monitored. An independent compensation consultant is periodically retained to perform an analysis of national senior campuses, inc.'s (nsc) compensation using comparables of both for-profit and non-profit peers. A committee of the nsc board reviews the consultant's report and makes a recommendation to nsc as to appropriate compensation of directors. The full board has access to national senior campuses inc.'s consultant's report and an opportunity to question the consultant about the process, metrics, and comparables that were used in determining the recommended compensation. The board then votes on the compensation recommendations and a contemporaneous record is made of the meeting and the vote. The consultant review was last undertaken in 2012 and was acted upon by the board in early 2013.”
