| Explanation | EXPLANATION FOR NON-RECOURSE SPLIT DOLLAR TRANSACTION WITH CAROL BURRELL, PRESIDENT & CEO:NGHS PROVIDES SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT BENEFITS THROUGH AN ALTERNATIVE FUNDING ARRANGEMENT THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE (IRS) REFERS TO AS COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT SPLIT DOLLAR (CASD). ALTHOUGH THE IRS REQUIRES REPORTING IN THE LOAN SECTION OF SCHEDULE L, CASD IS NOT AN ACTUAL LOAN AND NO FUNDS ARE TRANSFERRED TO THE EXECUTIVE. RATHER, THE "LOAN" TREATMENT APPLIES BECAUSE, AFTER THE EXECUTIVE HAS RECEIVED RETIREMENT BENEFITS, NGHS WILL RECOVER ALL OF ITS OUTLAYS PLUS INTEREST. THE RECOVERY RIGHT IS A KEY ADVANTAGE OF CASD FOR THE ORGANIZATION. RATHER THAN PAYING RETIREMENT BENEFITS TO THE EXECUTIVE THAT WOULD NEVER BE RECOVERED, UNDER CASD NGHS WILL RECOVER NOT ONLY ITS OUTLAYS, BUT ALSO CONSIDERATION FOR THE TIME VALUE OF MONEY.CASD WORKS AS FOLLOWS. NGHS DEPOSITS FUNDS INTO A CASH VALUE LIFE INSURANCE POLICY ON THE EXECUTIVE'S LIFE. DURING LIFE, TO THE EXTENT THE EXECUTIVE FULFILLS SERVICE AND VESTING REQUIREMENTS, THE EXECUTIVE CAN BORROW AGAINST VALUES IN THE POLICY TO SUPPLEMENT RETIREMENT INCOME. POLICY PERFORMANCE IS CLOSELY MONITORED. IF POLICY PERFORMANCE LAGS, THE EXECUTIVE'S BORROWING RIGHTS ARE REDUCED TO PROTECT NGHS'S RECOVERY RIGHTS.AT THE EXECUTIVE'S DEATH, THE POLICY DEATH PROCEEDS ARE FIRST USED TO REPAY NGHS ITS DEPOSITS PLUS COMPOUNDED INTEREST (AT THE IRS LONG-TERM APPLICABLE FEDERAL RATE). THE EXECUTIVE'S BENEFICIARY THEN RECEIVES ANY PROJECTED RETIREMENT BORROWING THE EXECUTIVE DID NOT ACCESS DURING LIFE. | ExplanationTxt |
