Question 12c: upmc requires key employed and non-employed personnel to comply with its conflict of interest policies when they engage in upmc related business. Persons covered by the policies included upmc board members, board committee members, corporate officers, key employees, upmc physicians and non physicians employees who hold a position ofinfluence, non employed members of the upmc medical staff who hold a position of influence or trust, individuals conducting clinical research at upmc whether or not they are employed by upmc. These people are required to complete a questionnaire at least annually, which along with other data is used to identify possible individual and institutional conflicts of interest. If a potential conflict is identified regarding a specific upmc activity, the corporate compliance department, with the assistance of the legal department, either develops a written plan to prevent the conflict from influencing decisions related to that activity, or requires that the conflicting relationship be divested, as appropriate. For employed personnel and non board members, non employed personnel, the conflict of interest identification and management process is ultimately overseen by an ethics and compliance committee of the upmc board of directors on behalf of upmc and all of its subsidiaries. Potential conflict of interest transactions involving upmc board members and entities with which they are affiliated are monitored and subject to pre-approval by the governance and nominating committee of the upmc board of directors.

It is the committee's judgment that the structure of the total compensation program is vital to, and strongly supportive of, the high level of ongoing success of upmc and fosters the retention of critical officer and key employment talent. The total compensation determination process utilized by the committee is intended to satisfy the "rebuttable presumption of reasonableness" as set forth in the regulations to section 4958 of the internal revenue code ("code").this means that compensation programs and levels are approved in advance by the committee which is composed entirely of outside directors who d”
