“Compensation for directors (including the officer-director positions of chair and vice-chair) is reviewed annually by the governance and nominating committee. Generally, an outside consultant is retained every year to determine the reasonableness of director compensation. A report is provided to the board of directors by the consultant. The board of directors approves the annual compensation based on these reviews. Compensation for employees who are disqualified persons under intermediate sanctions regulation is reviewed annually by the compensation committee of the board of directors. The disqualified persons include the ceo, the cfo, the svp of operations, and the svp of successful aging and health services. The compensation committee uses an outside, independent compensation consultant at least every other year to determine the reasonableness of the disqualified persons' compensation. The compensation consultant provides a report to the compensation committee of its market competitiveness review, findings, and recommendations, and a letter stating its assessment of the reasonableness of compensation. In years when the compensation committee does not use an outside consultant, it reviews survey information to determine the reasonableness of compensation. The compensation committee recommends to the boards, and the board of directors approves the annual compensation changes based on the recommendation of the compensation committee. The salaries and benefits listed contain the total salaries and benefits paid to each individual through lifespace communities, inc. And all related entities.
