“c) Board evaluation of non-transactional conflicts - I. The board carefully reviews and scrutinizes any non-transactional conflict of interest (e.g., disclosure of nonpublic information, competition with CHI or a CHI entity, failure to disclose a corporate opportunity, excessive gifts or entertainment, etc.). II. In such circumstances, by a majority vote of the disinterested trustees, the board takes whatever action is deemed appropriate with respect to the trustee or corporate officer under the circumstances (including possible disciplinary or corrective action) to best protect the interests of CHI or the CHI entity. The board is encouraged to consult with the general counsel of CHI or his or her designee when considering disciplinary or corrective action. III. The conflicted trustee or corporate officer is not permitted to use his or her personal influence with respect to the conflict matter. However, if requested, such trustee or corporate officer is not prevented from briefly stating his or her position in the matter, nor from answering pertinent questions from trustees, as his or her knowledge may be relevant. The trustee or corporate officer is excused from the meeting during discussion and vote on the conflict of interest. d) Record of proceedings - with respect to board member and officer conflicts of interest, minutes of the board are expected to reflect the identity of the individual making the disclosure, the nature of the disclosure, discussion regarding any proposed transaction, the decision made by the board, and that the interested trustee or corporate officer was excused during the discussion, and that the interested trustee abstained from voting. D. Conflicts reporting: All conflicts of interest are reported by CHI as required by law, regulations, and policy.”
