The payment of benefits under the program, if any, is entirely dependent upon the facts and circumstances under which the executive terminates employment with the organization. Benefits under the program are unfunded and non-vested. Due to the substantial risk of forfeiture provision, there is no guarantee that these executives will ever receive any benefit under the program. Any amount ultimately paid under the program to the executive is reported as compensation on Form 990, Schedule J, Part II, Column B in the year paid.

        <Explanation>In determining compensation of the organization's top management official, the process performed by Ascension Health, a related entity that paid the top management official, included a review and approval by independent persons, comparability data, and contemporaneous substantiation of the deliberation and decision.

Then the Ascension Health Compensation Committee reviewed and approved the compensation. In the review of the compensation, the top management official was compared to individuals in other comparable organizations that hold the same title. During the review and approval of the compensation, documentation of the decision was recorded in the minutes. The individual was not present when his compensation was decided. In determining compensation of other officers or key employees of the organization, the process included a review and approval by independent persons, comparability data, and contemporaneous substantiation of the deliberation and decision.
