“Part VI, Lines 15a & 15b - Process used for Compensation Review and Approval The filing organization does not directly compensate some of its top management employees; rather compensation is paid by a related organization that also follows the compensation policy of the Compensation Committee. The independent Compensation Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee's purpose is to provide oversight for the organization's executive compensation program, review and approve compensation and benefits for all "disqualified persons" subject to the Intermediate Sanctions regulations issued under Section 4958 of the Internal Revenue Code (including the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer & Chief Financial Officer, other system and entity executives, and other disqualified persons as defined in the Intermediate Sanctions regulations (i.e., voting members of the governing body, family members, former officers)), and establish the compensation philosophy for all other executives. This committee engages nationally recognized compensation consultants to assist them in review of executive compensation. The compensation consultants provide a review of each vice president and above in the system to determine if that employee's compensation is reasonable when compared against market standards. The data reviewed comes from compensation studies that include comparable compensation for similarly qualified persons in functionally comparable positions at similarly situated organizations. The organization keeps contemporaneous minutes of the compensation committees meetings and decisions. External consultants review compensation every other year the last review occurring in 2013, but the compensation committee regularly monitors compensation and all other procedures are followed annually. Part VI, Line 19 - How and If the Governing Documents, Conflict of Interest Policy and Financial Statements are Made Available to the Public Franciscan Properties does not make its governing documents, conflict of interest policy or financial statements available to the public.”
