“The following is a summary of Legacy's policy and procedures for conflict of interest disclosure, monitoring and resolution.All Legacy employees and non-employees in leadership positions (e.g., Board members, Foundation Trustees, Medical Directors) are required to disclose potential conflicts of interest as the conflict arises. All employees are required to disclose any conflict of interest per the Standard of Conduct policy. Certain groups have annual formal disclosure requirements, Executives and non-employees in leadership positions complete the Conflict Disclosure Statement from the Standards of Conduct policy annually. Officers, Directors, Trustees, Key and Highly Compensated employees are also required to complete a questionnaire covering business relationships, business transactions with interested parties, loans and grants. Conflict Disclosure Statements and questionnaires are returned to Legacy Corporate Compliance or Tax Departments for review of the disclosure. If a conflict is disclosed, or identified through any other means, Legacy Corporate Compliance ensures that management mitigates the risk (e.g., discontinues relationship with vendor, segregates responsibilities, recuses Board member from voting in area of conflict) and that the conflict and mitigation steps are reported to the appropriate level (e.g. Audit and Compliance Committee of the Board).”

“The following describes the compensation practices of Legacy Health and its affiliates.Executive compensation for Legacy is designed to recruit, retain and motivate qualified senior leaders responsible for ensuring Legacy Health serves its mission and patients every day, and for ensuring a safe, inclusive and equitable workplace for all Legacy employees. The comprehensive compensation plan is designed for positions that have a significant impact on the high-level strategic and policy direction of Legacy and its affiliates, and are accountable for the effective day-to-day operation of the system. Base pay and total compensation (including incentive compensation) for similar positions is established at a level comparable to market compensation for healthcare organizations. External consultants are regularly used to review published compensation surveys of comparable organizations and comparable benchmark positions in the market. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, none of whom is a Legacy employee, reviews the compensation for key executive positions. The Committee oversees the system's governance procedures with respect to the evaluation of reasonableness of compensation.

The Compensation Committee also reviews tax-reporting disclosures.”
