IN 2016, THE PRESIDENT/CEO HAD 1 TRIP APPROVED FOR ATTENDANCE AT AN OUT OF STATE MEETING WHERE IT WAS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY THE CHAIR OF OUR BOARD THAT THE ATTENDANCE OF THE PRESIDENT/CEO'S SPOUSE (AND THE RELATED EXPENSES FOR HER TRAVEL TO THESE MEETINGS) WAS INTEGRAL TO CONDUCTING EFFECTIVE METHODIST BUSINESS AT THESE MEETINGS. PART I, LINE 4A: HOUSTON METHODIST HOSPITAL HAS A FORMAL SEVERANCE PLAN. ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES INCLUDE ALL FULL-TIME AND PART-TIME STAFF (NOT TEMPORARY OR PRN), INCLUDING HOURLY STAFF, UP THROUGH SENIOR VICE PRESIDENTS PROVIDED THEY WORK AT LEAST 20 HOURS PER WEEK AND ARE NOT OTHERWISE COVERED BY A PHYSICIAN EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT. THE PLAN ONLY PROVIDES SALARY AND BENEFITS IN THE EVENT AN ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEE IS INVOLUNTARILY TERMINATED DUE TO THE ELIMINATION OF THEIR POSITION OR IF THEIR CURRENT POSITION IS SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTED BY AN ORGANIZATIONAL RESTRUCTURING OR CHANGE IN REQUIREMENT AND A COMPARABLE POSITION IS NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION. THE ELIGIBLE PERSON MUST ALSO SIGN A TERMINATION AGREEMENT IN ORDER TO RECEIVE SALARY CONTINUATION AND BENEFITS UNDER THE PLAN TO WHICH THEY WOULD NOT NORMALLY BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE UNDER A VOLUNTARY RESIGNATION. PURSUANT TO TREASURY REG SECTION 1 6033-2(D)(5), HOUSTON METHODIST HOSPITAL HAS ELECTED TO REPORT INFORMATION ABOUT CONTRIBUTIONS, GIFTS & GRANTS, COMPENSATION AND OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, TRUSTEES, KEY EMPLOYEES, FORMER EMPLOYEES, CERTAIN OTHER HIGHLY PAID EMPLOYEES, CERTAIN PROFESSIONAL CONTRACTORS AND CERTAIN OTHER CONTRACTORS ON A CONSOLIDATED BASIS FOR ALL OF THE MEMBERS OF THE GROUP, INCLUDING THE PARENT ORGANIZATION, ON THE GROUP RETURN OF METHODIST HOSPITAL GROUP, EIN 35-2410801.

PART I, LINE 7 THIS ORGANIZATION PROVIDES VARIABLE COMPENSATION OPPORTUNITY THROUGH AN ANNUAL MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN.

THE ANNUAL INCENTIVE PROGRAM IS BASED ON SYSTEM AND OPERATING ENTITY LEVEL PERFORMANCE IN THE AREAS OF QUALITY IMPROVEMENT OUTCOMES, PATIENT SATISFACTION AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE.

DETERMINATION OF A PARTICIPANT'S PERCENTAGE OF THE POTENTIAL BONUS PAYOUT (PAID AS A PERCENT OF BASE SALARY) IS BASED ON WHETHER THE INDIVIDUAL ATTAINS AGREED UPON GOALS FOR THEIR AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY AS DETERMINED BY THEIR IMMEDIATE SUPERVISOR.
