HAS ENGAGED SULLIVAN COTTER TO WORK WITH THE GOVERNING BOARD AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE TO REVIEW AND RECOMMEND EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION. THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROCESS AT WELLSTAR IS OVERSEEN BY A COMMITTEE OF INDEPENDENT TRUSTEES, WHICH FOLLOWS A BOARD-APPROVED EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE CONSISTS OF FIVE TRUSTEES. THE CEO AND CHIEF HUMAN RESOURCES OFFICERS PARTICIPATE IN AN ADVISORY ROLE, AND NOT AS VOTING MEMBERS. FURTHER IN COMMITTEE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE COMPENSATION FOR THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, THE CEO RECUSES HIM/HERSELF FROM THAT PROCESS. THE CEO IS A NON-VOTING COMMITTEE MEMBER FOR DISCUSSIONS ON ALL OTHER OFFICERS. THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY EMPOWERS THE COMMITTEE TO OVERSEE THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROCESS AND ADMINISTER THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM ON BEHALF OF THE FULL BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF WELLSTAR; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THE FULL BOARD OF TRUSTEES EVALUATES AND APPROVES THE COMPENSATION OF THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER. THE PHILOSOPHY REQUIRES ANNUAL DISCLOSURE OF THE COMMITTEE'S ACTIONS AND DECISIONS TO THE FULL BOARD, WHICH IT HAS DONE. THE COMMITTEE IS GUIDED BY THE BOARD-APPROVED PHILOSOPHY. OVERALL, THE PHILOSOPHY IS INTENDED TO REWARD FOR ORGANIZATIONAL AND INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE. BASE COMPENSATION IS TARGETED AT THE MEDIAN BASE COMPENSATION PAID TO SIMILAR POSITIONS AT SIMILAR ORGANIZATIONS (THE MARKET). OFFICERS OF THE COMPANY ALSO RECEIVE VARIABLE COMPENSATION THAT IS DEPENDENT ON INDIVIDUAL AND ORGANIZATION PERFORMANCE. WHEN PERFORMANCE IS AT A PREDETERMINED TARGETED LEVEL, THE TOTAL COMPENSATION, BOTH BASE AND VARIABLE, IS INTENDED TO BE AT OR AROUND THE 75TH% OF COMPENSATION PAID TO SIMILAR POSITIONS AT SIMILAR ORGANIZATIONS. WELLSTAR'S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY DEFINES THE MARKET AS BEING COMPRISED OF COMPARABLE NOT-FOR-PROFIT HEALTH CARE DELIVERY SYSTEMS, I.E., NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS SIMILAR IN COMPLEXITY AND SCALE TO WELLSTAR. TO ASSIST THE COMMITTEE IN FULFILLING ITS DUTIES, THE COMMITTEE ENGAGED SULLIVAN COTTER TO PROVIDE MARKET COMPENSATION DATA TO COMPARE TO THE WELLSTAR POSITIONS WHOSE COMPENSATION THE COMMITTEE OVERSEES.
