        <ExplanationTxt>VISITING NURSE ASSOCIATION HEALTH GROUP, INC.'S AFFILIATED NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS RECEIVE A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF REVENUES FROM THE MEDICARE PROGRAM AND FROM GRANTS AND CONTRACTS ISSUED BY FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL AGENCIES. THE HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY IS CONTINUALLY SUBJECT TO LEGISLATIVE CHANGES AND ADJUSTMENTS TO GOVERNMENT EXPENDITURES SUPPORTING HEALTH RELATED PROGRAMS. REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ORGANIZATION HAVE PARTICIPATED IN MEETINGS AND DISCUSSIONS WITH APPROPRIATE OFFICIALS TO EDUCATE THEM ON THE FINANCIAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS OF PROPOSED CHANGES. IN FACT, THE PRESIDENT/CEO AND OTHERS FROM THE SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM ARE INVOLVED AS HOME CARE AND HOSPICE ADVOCATES FOR NATIONAL AND STATE ORGANIZATIONS. THEY INTERACT WITH PUBLIC OFFICIALS AND ELECTED MEMBERS OF CONGRESS ON THE ISSUES RELATED TO HOME HEALTH AND HOSPICE CARE. IN ADDITION, A PORTION OF MEMBERSHIP DUES paid to industry associations BY THE ORGANIZATION ARE RELATED TO LOBBYING ACTIVITIES PERFORMED BY such industry associations ON BEHALF OF their MEMBERS. THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT BELIEVE THAT ITS COST FOR THESE ACTIVITIES ARE SUBSTANTIAL WITHIN THE MEANING OF IRC SECTION 501(C)(3).</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>members of the organization's SENIOR MANAGEMENT ARE ELIGIBLE FOR a management incentive performance (MIP) salary adjustment. THE MIP is RECOMMENDED BY THE ORGANIZATION'S COMPENSATION COMMITTEE AND APPROVED BY THE BOARD AFTER CONSIDERATION OF COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS PAID BY SIMILARLY SITUATED ORGANIZATIONS FOR SIMILAR SERVICES, COMPENSATION SURVEYS, AND OTHER MATTERS TO DETERMINE THAT NO MORE THAN REASONABLE COMPENSATION IS PAID. The overall bonus pool is calculated based on company performance in several categories (financial, quality, engagement). Within those categories, goals for different metrics (EBIDA, cash days on hand, 30 day readmissions, employee satisfaction) are established at the beginning of the year and assigned a weight. Senior leadership considers an individual's performance to determine how much to award each employee based on the overall size of the bonus pool.
