Board Designated for Unemployment Compensation Program - The OHA's Group Unemployment Compensation Program allows tax-exempt hospitals to self-insure unemployment claims rather than participate in the state-funded program. The program consists of claims administration and the surety bond guaranty which requires all non-public, self-insured employers to post a surety bond to ensure their ability to pay claims in the event of financial difficulties. OHA has an agreement with their surety bond insurer to indemnify for the first $1,500,000 in losses. As such, the OHA Board has designated these funds to meet this obligation. Board Designated for Special Litigation Fund - The OHA Litigation Fund provides OHA with the financial resources to initiate legal action, to assist member hospitals in resolving legal issues of statewide and general importance to OHA hospital members and to participate in various types of litigation in order to advocate on behalf of the Ohio hospital community at large. Board Designated for Strategic Issues - The OHA Board approved creation of a Strategic Issues Fund to be drawn upon for specified types of activities and to be used for strategic purposes benefiting OHA's membership as a whole. This fund provides resources enabling OHA to take bold steps when situations call for extraordinary action; either to prevent hardships for hospitals or to optimize their success. Board Designated for Investment Opportunities Fund - This fund is intended to make funds available for investment opportunities to advance OHA's quality agenda. Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that OHA and the Program are tax-exempt organizations as defined under Section 501(c)(6). OHA and the Program are not subject to federal income taxes, except for income from unrelated business activities, if any. Management does not believe there are any significant tax liabilities related to Ohio Healthcare Purchasing, Inc. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been made in the combined financial statements. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America prescribe recognition thresholds and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Tax benefits will be recognized only if the tax position is more-likely-than-not sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized will be the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the more-likely-than-not test, no tax benefit will be recorded. Management has concluded that they are unaware of any tax benefits or liabilities to be recognized at December 31, 2024 and 2023. true Ohioans for a Healthy Economy Inc 34 S Third St Ste 100 Columbus OH 43215 822814507 501(c)(4) 20000 voter education SD ASSOCIATION OF HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS 3708 W Brooks Pl Sioux Falls SD 57106 460254666 501(c)(6) 10000 voter education AHA PAC (Fund for Political Education) 800 10th St NW Two Citycenter ste 400 Washington DC 200014956 362996517 527 20000 voter education 0 3 Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 Procedures for monitoring use of grant funds THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND MANAGEMENT MONITOR THE USE OF GRANTS TO ENSURE THEY ARE USED FOR THEIR INTENDED PURPOSES.

The total number of employees reported on form W-3 and filed by the common paying agent, OHA, for the year ended December 31, 2024, was 52. Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b PROCESS USED TO DETERMINE COMPENSATION OF OTHER OFFICERS THE ORGANIZATION CURRENTLY USES AN OUTSIDE CONSULTANT TO PERIODICALLY PROVIDE A BENCHMARK OF COMPARABLE SALARY RANGES FOR ALL OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES. OHIO HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION'S COMPENSATION IS BASED ON THE USE OF THIS DATA FOR SIMILARLY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS IN COMPARABLE POSITIONS AT SIMILAR SIZED ASSOCIATIONS. Form 990, Part VI, Line 1a Executive Committee THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE SHALL CONSIST OF THE CHAIR, CHAIR-ELECT, IMMEDIATE PAST CHAIR, SECRETARY/TREASURER, PRESIDENT, AND AN AT-LARGE MEMBER. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE SHALL BE AUTHORIZED TO ACT ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES BETWEEN MEETINGS OF THE BOARD AND SHALL SUBMIT SUCH ACTIONS TO THE BOARD FOR RATIFICATION. Form 990, Part VI, Line 4 Significant changes to organizational documents The Board repealed the OHA Constitution and consolidated all provisions into an Amended and Restated Code of Regulations. This modernization addressed outdated, redundant, and conflicting provisions and captured OHA's current governance practices. Key changes included simplifying membership to two categories, equalizing voting rights while retaining protections for Type I members, clarifying the annual member meeting process through an electronic voting structure, updating trustee eligibility to remove "headquartered in Ohio" requirements, and refining the nomination process to reflect actual practice. Additional clean-up removed obsolete provisions (personal memberships, geographic districts, outdated dues references) and revised other provisions to reflect governance best practices. Form 990, Part VI, Line 6 Classes of members or stockholders OHA is a membership association with two classes of members: (A) Type I Members shall include hospitals, both general and special, that care primarily for patients with conditions normally requiring a comparatively short stay. Eligibility requirements for Type I membership shall be determined by the Board of Trustees and shall include licensure by the State of Ohio. (B) Type II Members shall include those hospitals that are not Type I hospitals and that are designated as long-term acute care (or LTAC) hospitals, inpatient rehabilitation hospitals, inpatient psychiatric hospitals and inpatient federal hospitals. Eligibility requirements for Type II membership shall be determined by the Board of Trustees. Form 990, Part VI, Line 7a Members or stockholders electing members of governing body Type I and Type II members have the right to elect key officers (Chair-Elect, Secretary/Treasurer) and at-large Trustees to the Board of Trustees. Elections occur at the annual meeting (or a special meeting for that purpose), with provisions allowing members not in attendance to cast electronic ballots. A candidate is elected only with the approval of a majority of all members voting and a majority of Type I members voting. Nominations are solicited annually from all members, reviewed by the Nominating Committee, and finalized by the Board before being presented for member approval. Eligibility to serve as a trustee is limited to senior executives of member hospitals or affiliates, with the requirement that most trustees be CEOs, COOs, or CFOs of member hospitals or systems. Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b Review of form 990 by governing body The form 990 and supplemental schedules were reviewed by the Audit/Finance Committee with the paid tax preparer. Additionally, management reviews the 990 for accuracy prior to filing. Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policy EACH TRUSTEE, DIRECTOR, PRINCIPAL OFFICER, other officer, key employee, AND MEMBER OF A COMMITTEE WITH BOARD DESIGNATED POWERS SHALL ANNUALLY SIGN A STATEMENT WHICH AFFIRMS THAT SUCH PERSON HAS RECEIVED A COPY OF THE DUALITY OF INTEREST AND CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY, HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS THE POLICY, HAS AGREED TO COMPLY WITH THE POLICY, AND UNDERSTANDS THE ORGANIZATION IS TAX-EXEMPT AND IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN ITS FEDERAL TAX EXEMPTION, IT MUST ENGAGE PRIMARILY IN ACTIVITIES WHICH ACCOMPLISH ONE OR MORE OF ITS TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSES. Any Trustee having a known duality of interest or possible conflict of interest on any matter should make a disclosure of such conflict to the remaining Trustees. Following a determination by the Board of Trustees that a conflict of interest exists, such Trustee will not vote or use his or her personal influence on the matter, but such Trustee may be counted in determining the quorum for the meeting. The minutes of the meeting should reflect the making of the disclosure, the Board's determination on the existence of the conflict, the abstention from voting and the quorum situation. The requirements in this Section 8.2 shall not be construed as preventing any Trustee from briefly stating his or her position in the matter, nor from answering pertinent questions of the Board. Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management official An independent compensation committee delegated by the Board of Trustees is responsible for the yearly compensation review of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Outside consultants, salary surveys, and data from comparable organizations are used in the process of determining the CEO's compensation. This process is conducted annually.
