“Franciscan Communities, Inc. top management official is paid by the Franciscan Sisters of Chicago Service Corporation ("FSCSC"), a related tax-exempt organization. The board of directors of the organization has adopted an executive compensation philosophy to enable FSCSC to recruit, retain, develop and motivate capable and committed executive leaders essential to sustaining its mission and achieving its vision and organizational goals. The executive compensation committee monitors the compensation strategy to reflect changes in market conditions and executive needs. This strategy and the reward elements serve as a "road map" for the on-going administration of the compensation programs. The Board has adopted a philosophy of viewing executive compensation in its totality, considering all reward elements - both extrinsic and intrinsic, provided to executives. Annually, the executive compensation committee makes the recommendation on the compensation for the president and chief executive officer with final approval from the sponsor as recommended by the FSCSC board of directors. The recommendation is based, in part, on the review of the most current market data available and compensation strategy discussion. FSCSC's president and chief executive officer makes recommendations to the executive compensation committee for the establishment of salary ranges and salaries for the chief financial officer and chief operating officer of the organization. The executive compensation committee of the board of directors has adopted a practice of having a third-party review of total remuneration for executive staff and obtains a letter of reasonableness every two to three years. This third party review includes: 1. Obtain and analyze comparable compensation data for similar persons in functionally comparable positions in similar organizations; 2. Contemporaneous documentation and record keeping with respect to deliberations and decisions regarding the compensation arrangements is maintained; 3. The process of obtaining comparable compensation data was last performed in March 2025, and the executive Compensation Committee reviewed the third party data regarding Executive Compensation for the CEO, in light of the current year trends.”

“Gift of care: for more than 125 years, franciscan sisters of chicago, our foundress, mother mary theresa dudzik, and franciscan communities have fulfilled the desperate need of the elderly and the underserved. The gift of care program is one of the ways developed to provide additional outreach services to the underprivileged population. Long-term care is very expensive and many will not be able to pay for all of the necessary services out of his or her own income and resources. That is where the gift of care can help. Commitment: the gift of care is a commitment by franciscan communities to underwrite all or a portion of a resident's care for a specific period of time. It is based upon defined criteria. As a not-for-profit organization, franciscan communities promotes and cares for the interests of older adults in an environment of dignified living, caring and compassion. In the spirit and tradition of the catholic church, the franciscan sisters of chicago and our foundress, mother mary theresa dudzik, have been of service to the needy and the poor for over 120 years. This program is one of the ways we address the spiritual needs of the community and those served through pastoral care services, including chapel services. Each franciscan community strives to provide the gift of care program for applicants and existing residents, who desperately need financial assistance with the expenses associated with our compassionate services. Depending on the individual circumstances, a person may be either fully or partially supported financially. Charity care provided by franciscan communities in fiscal 2023 amounted to $699,000 with unreimbursed care of $4,829,000 .”
