“Annually, each director, principal officer, and member of a committee with board-delegated powers ("interested person") shall confirm that they have received a copy of the CareSource Conflicts of Interest policy and have read, understood, and agree to comply with the policy. Interested Persons have an obligation to immediately report any Conflicts of Interest (including any relationships, positions, or circumstances that could contribute to a Conflict of Interest). All relevant information reported through the Conflict-of-Interest Policy will be sent to the Chairman of the Board for review. If the Interested Person with the Conflict of Interest is the Chairman of the Board, then the required disclosure must be provided to the Chief Legal Officer of CareSource. If it is not entirely clear whether a Conflict of Interest exists, then the person with the potential conflict must disclose the circumstances to CareSource's Chief Legal Officer. The Chief Legal Officer will consult with the Corporation's Corporate Compliance Officer or the Chairman of the Board to determine whether there exists a Conflict of Interest that is subject to this policy. Before Board action or other action by CareSource on a Transaction that involves a Conflict of Interest, an Interested Person who knows he or she has a Conflict of Interest must have disclosed to the Board all facts material to the Conflict of Interest. The Chairman of the Board may postpone Board or other corporate action on a Transaction until the Interested Person provides written information relating to the Conflict of Interest. An Interested Person who knows he or she has a Conflict of Interest must not participate in the Board's discussion of the Transaction except to disclose material facts and respond to questions. The Interested Person must not attempt to influence the Board's action on the Transaction, either at or outside the meeting. Prior to voting, the Board must be given an opportunity to discuss the Transaction without the person who has the Conflict of Interest being present. A Transaction involving a Conflict of Interest may be approved by the Board of CareSource if the material facts as to the Transaction and the Conflict of Interest are fully disclosed or known to the Board and the Board in good faith determines after reasonable investigation that (a) the Board is aware of all material facts concerning the Transaction and the Interested person's interest in the Transaction; (b) CareSource is entering into the Transaction for its own benefit; (c) the Transaction is fair and reasonable as to CareSource; and (d) CareSource could not have obtained a more advantageous arrangement with reasonable effort under the circumstances. The Person with the Conflict of Interest must not vote on the Transaction and must not be present in the room when the vote is taken.”

“The compensation committee consists of board members who are independent. The compensation committee establishes the company's general compensation philosophy and oversees and approves the development, adoption, and implementation of compensation plans and programs for the company's officers and executives. The compensation committee receives a report of comparability data prepared by an independent compensation consultant surveying data for comparable organizations' reasonable compensation. The comparability data is presented to the independent board members in a written document in advance of the meeting, and the independent comparability study is presented by the author of the study during the course of the meeting. Additionally, the minutes of each meeting are prepared, distributed, and approved at the next regularly scheduled compensation committee meeting. The compensation consultant does no other business with the CareSource Family of Companies other than determining the reasonableness of compensation and consulting on the compensation plan design. At least annually, the compensation committee assesses the work of the compensation consultants.”

“CareSource has been headquartered in Dayton, Ohio since its founding more than 30 years ago. CareSource's supported organizations in various states offer health insurance, including Medicaid, Health Insurance Marketplace, and Medicare products, administering one of the largest Medicaid managed care plans in the U.S. As a mission-driven organization, CareSource is transforming health care with innovative programs, providing access to health care to more than 2,000,000 low-income individuals through its supported organizations. Programs: At CareSource, we know that social determinants of health are key drivers of health care access, utilization, and outcomes. As such, social determinants of health require full integration into the treatment of Members' physical health. What sets us apart from traditional managed care is our record of accomplishments and results in integrating these non-clinical aspects into every interaction we have with our Members. The CareSource mission is to make a lasting difference in Members' lives by improving their health and well-being. This has catalyzed our commitment to develop programs that target our Members' social needs - nutrition, transportation, housing, jobs, social connectedness, communication, access, and more. We shape our benefits to integrate social and economic solutions seamlessly into our Members' care to have maximum impact on their social support, stability, health, and wellness. CareSource Life Services is the umbrella framework through which we address social determinants of health including hunger, housing, social stability, workforce development, and health equity. The CareSource JobConnect program addresses the education and employment barriers that many of our Members face and that impede their path to self-sufficiency. CareSource JobConnect is widely recognized within the managed care industry for reducing dependence on governmental services by providing Members with life coaching, access to community-based resources, and support setting and reaching their professional and educational goals. The CareSource Family of Companies believes that it can improve the health of its Members through educational initiatives. Education empowers Members to take on greater personal responsibility for their own health and the health of their family by encouraging healthy decisions and preventative care. For example, the CareSource Family of Companies prepares a personalized wellness plan for each of its Members. Moreover, Members who are pregnant or have a child under the age of one can sign-up for a specifically designed program to receive three text messages per week that provide advice on proper preventative care. Other educational efforts include a childhood obesity management program for children between the ages of 5 and 17 years old. The CareSource Family of Companies provides enhanced benefits to Members that are above and beyond required benefits defined by state or federal agencies. In order to ensure Members are able to access the most appropriate medical care, the CareSource Family of Companies provides transportation services for office visits to their medical provider's office, ensuring that Members are keeping preventive, sick, or follow-up appointments. Further showing the CareSource Family of Companies' dedication to ensuring that our most vulnerable Members receive needed care, the CareSource Family of Companies does not charge Medicaid Members a copayment for pharmacy products, dental visits, vision examinations, vision hardware or non-emergent emergency department visits, even though regulations allow for such copays. The CareSource Family of Companies is dedicated to motivating its pregnant Members to seek prenatal and postpartum care by participating in the Babies First Member Incentive Program. Moms-to-be can receive reward cards for attending regular OB/GYN appointments while pregnant and for also attending appropriate follow-up visits after giving birth. The CareSour”
