These individuals include the organization's officers, governing body, management, physicians with administrative services agreements and other key personnel who interact with outside organizations or businesses on behalf of the organization. The BSW Holdings Board of Trustees Audit and Compliance Committee and the BSW Holdings Corporate Compliance Committee review all relevant disclosures submitted by these individuals to determine whether a conflict of interest exists and to determine an appropriate resolution, if necessary. Any individual with a perceived or potential conflict is prohibited from voting or participating in the decision making process regarding such transaction with that individual.”

“Process for determining compensation: The organization, a controlled affiliate of BSW Holdings, recognizes that those chosen to lead the organization are vital to its ongoing success and growth. Thus, it must attract, retain and engage the highest quality officers and key employees to lead the organization and help the organization maintain its national reputation for achieving high targets for medical quality, patient safety, and patient satisfaction. A significant portion of the organization's officers and key employees' total compensation is based on significant performance achievements. This strategy places a greater emphasis on the importance of the organization achieving targeted improvements in the areas of people, quality, patient satisfaction and financial stewardship, annually. Total executive compensation is part of an integrated talent management strategy developed by the BSW Holdings' Board of Trustees and its Compensation and Governance Committee (C&G Committee) to attract, motivate, and retain the best leadership resources for the organization. Executive compensation is determined pursuant to guidelines outlined in the intermediate sanction rules under IRC Section 4958 including taking steps to meet the rebuttable presumption standard of reasonableness under Treasury Regulation 53.4958-6, as summarized below. When making compensation decisions, the organization compares itself to similar-sized, and structured businesses including other integrated health care service systems and other similar-sized organizations, both locally and nationally. The BSW Holdings' Board of Trustees and C&G Committee, on behalf of the organization, works directly with an independent compensation expert(s) to identify reasonable and competitive market rates as well as provide an annual review of the total compensation of the system's top management officials and key employees. The C&G Committee is made up of members of the BSW Holdings' Board of Trustees, who are independent, community volunteers guided by the information provided by the independent compensation expert(s), the C&G Committee approves and recommends to the BSW Holdings' Board of Trustees salary increases, earned incentives, and/or benefit offerings for the organization's President, other officers and/or key employees to be comparable to similar organizations for similar services and/or positions. Furthermore, the C&G Committee is charged with the responsibility of reviewing annually the major elements of the executive compensation program to assure designs remain consistent with the business needs, market practices, and compensation philosophy. As part of the decision making process, the C&G Committee will often meet in executive session to discuss and review recommendations made by the independent compensation expert(s). During the executive session no officer or key employee whose compensation is being reviewed is present during these discussions. All decisions are contemporaneously documented in the C&G Committee minutes which are timely reviewed and approved by the C&G Committee.”
