“Sharp HealthCare has a written conflict of interest policy which has been reviewed and approved by the Sharp HealthCare governing board. Sharp HealthCare is committed to preventing any Participant of the Corporation from gaining any personal benefit from information received or from any transaction of Sharp. One component of the written conflict of interest policy requires that Board Members, Corporate Officers, Senior Vice Presidents and Chief Executive Officer(s) submit a conflict of interest statement annually to Legal Services/Senior Vice President of Legal Services who will review all statements. In addition, all Vice Presidents and any employees in the Purchasing/Supply Chain, Audit and Compliance, and Case Management/Discharge Planning departments are required to complete an online conflict of interest questionnaire annually that is reviewed by the Conflict Review Committee comprised of employees from Sharp's Legal, Compliance, and Internal Audit departments. In connection with any transaction or arrangement, which may create an actual or possible conflict of interest, the person shall disclose in writing the existence and nature of his/her financial interest and all material facts. Board Members, Corporate Officers, Senior Vice Presidents, and the Chief Executive Officer(s) shall make such disclosures directly to the Chairman of the Board, and to the members of the committee with the board designated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. Upon disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, the Board Member, Corporate Officer, Senior Vice President or the Chief Executive Officer(s) making such disclosures shall leave the board or the committee meeting while the financial interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining board or committee members shall decide if a conflict of interest exists. In certain instances, such as if someone takes a board seat on a competitor's board of directors or has a role with an organization whereby the information that they may obtain from Sharp would put them in a consistent conflict with their two roles, the conflict could call for the individual's removal from the board. The bylaws for the organization provide for the ability to remove directors in accordance with Section 5222 of the California Corporations Code. This can generally be done on a "for cause" or a "no cause" basis by the action of the member.”
