ADDITIONALLY, CERTIFICATION ENCOMPASSES THE SIX GENERAL COMPETENCIES ESTABLISHED BY THE ACCREDITATION COUNCIL FOR GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION (ACGME) AND SETS THE STAGE FOR CONTINUAL PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT THROUGH VALUES CENTERED ON LIFELONG LEARNING.CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O.IN ORDER TO BE CERTIFIED, A PHYSICIAN MUST:* COMPLETE THE REQUISITE PRE-DOCTORAL MEDICAL EDUCATION* MEET SPECIFIC TRAINING REQUIREMENTS* MEET LICENSURE REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS* PASS A CERTIFICATION EXAMINATIONABIM ADMINISTERS ITS CERTIFICATION PROCESS BY: (1) ESTABLISHING REQUIREMENTS FOR TRAINING AND SELF-EVALUATION; (2) ASSESSING THE PROFESSIONAL CREDENTIALS OF CANDIDATES; (3) OBTAINING SUBSTANTIATION BY APPROPRIATE AUTHORITIES OF THE CLINICAL COMPETENCE AND PROFESSIONAL STANDING OF CANDIDATES; AND (4) DEVELOPING AND CONDUCTING EXAMINATIONS AND OTHER ASSESSMENTS.INITIAL CERTIFICATION BY ABIM SIGNIFIES A PHYSICIAN IS READY TO PRACTICE IN INTERNAL MEDICINE OR ONE OF ITS SUBSPECIALTIES. 38343966 0 60308248 ABIM'S MAINTENANCE OF CERTIFICATION (MOC) CREDENTIAL MEANS SOMETHING DIFFERENT FROM INITIAL CERTIFICATION. IT SPEAKS TO THE QUESTION OF WHETHER OR NOT AN INTERNIST IS STAYING CURRENT WITH KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICE IN HIS/HER DISCIPLINE. ABIM ISSUES A BINARY CONSEQUENTIAL MOC CREDENTIAL THAT IS ANCHORED IN WHETHER A PHYSICIAN IS MEETING A PERFORMANCE STANDARD. ABIM ISSUES THAT CREDENTIAL BASED UPON OBJECTIVE, FAIR, DEFENSIBLE PSYCHOMETRICALLY RIGOROUS STANDARDS. PARTICIPATION IN MOC MEANS THAT A PHYSICIAN IS DEMONSTRATING THAT S/HE IS ENGAGED IN CERTAIN CONTINUOUS LEARNING AND EDUCATION ACTIVITIES. CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O.DIPLOMATES PARTICIPATING IN ABIM'S MOC PROGRAM ARE REQUIRED TO TAKE AND PASS AN ASSESSMENT EVERY 10 YEARS TO REMAIN CERTIFIED. THEY CAN DO THIS BY PASSING A POINT-IN-TIME ASSESSMENT CALLED THE TRADITIONAL, 10-YEAR MOC EXAM, OR ACHIEVING A PASSING SCORE AT THE CONCLUSION OF THEIR 5-YEAR LKA CYCLE. DIPLOMATES HOLDING CERTIFICATION IN CARDIOLOGY MAY ALSO BE ABLE TO SATISFY THIS REQUIREMENT BY ACHIEVING A PASSING SCORE IN THE COLLABORATIVE MAINTENANCE PATHWAY, AN ASSESSMENT PRODUCT JOINTLY CREATED AND ADMINISTERED BY ABIM AND THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF CARDIOLOGY. MOST DIPLOMATES CERTIFIED PRIOR TO 1990 ARE STRONGLY URGED TO PARTICIPATE IN MOC BUT ARE NOT REQUIRED TO DO SO TO REMAIN CERTIFIED. FOR ALL DIPLOMATES, IN ADDITION TO REPORTING BOARD CERTIFICATION, ABIM WILL REPORT IF THEY ARE PARTICIPATING IN THE MOC PROGRAM (I.E., ENGAGING IN MOC ACTIVITIES FREQUENTLY).PARTICIPATION IN MOC AND CONTINUED CERTIFICATION BY ABIM SIGNIFIES A PHYSICIAN IS STAYING CURRENT IN HIS OR HER DISCIPLINE. 61488047 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 467 0 297 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 X 14 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X X VINCENT MANDES 2154463500 510 WALNUT STREET SUITE 1700 PHILADELPHIA PA 191063699 X RICHARD J BARON PRESIDENT/CEO TO AUGUST 2024 32.00 8.00 X X 1198651 299663 68011 FURMAN S MCDONALD PRESIDENT/CEO AS OF SEPTEMBER 2024 32.00 8.00 X X 530335 132584 107026 ERICA JOHNSON MD SECRETARY, THEN BOD, THEN SVP 40.00 0.00 X X 109436 0 3216 RAJEEV JAIN MD CHAIR 7.00 5.00 X X 50000 10000 0 YUL D EJNES MD BOD 5.00 5.00 X 14000 10000 0 SURESH NAIR BOD AS OF OCT 2024 5.00 0.00 X 17000 0 0 ROBERT ROSWELL MD CHAIR-ELECT 5.00 0.00 X X 14000 0 0 CHARLES SETH LANDEFELD BOD TREASURER 5.00 0.00 X X 14000 0 0 MEGAN KOEPKE BOD SECRETARY AS OF JUL 2024 5.00 0.00 X X 14000 0 0 ABHA AGRAWAL MD BOD 5.00 0.00 X 14000 0 0 SAFWAN BADR BOD 5.00 0.00 X 14000 0 0 KRISDA CHAIYACHATI MD BOD 5.00 0.00 X 14000 0 0 CARLADENISE EDWARDS BOD TO MAY 2025 5.00 0.00 X 14000 0 0 ALICIA FERNANDEZ BOD 5.00 0.00 X 14000 0 0 HEATHER HEIMAN BOD 5.00 0.00 X 11000 0 0 GEORGE ABRAHAM BOD 5.00 0.00 X 7000 0 0 SUZANNE WATNICK BOD 5.00 0.00 X 7000 0 0 VINCENT MANDES SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT/CFO 36.00 4.00 X 413070 45896 57948 RICHARD BATTAGLIA CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER 40.00 0.00 X 490472 0 87567 JUDITH CASSEL CHIEF OF STAFF 40.00 0.00 X 451073 0 98038 REBECCA LIPNER SVP, ASSESSMENT AND RESEARCH 40.00 0.00 X 450853 0 68724 PAMELA BROWNER-WHITE SVP, COMMUNICATIONS 35.00 5.00 X 345294 51596 90425 JEFFREY MILLER VP, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY 40.00 0.00 X 396781 0 70567 JEREMY DUGOSH VP, TEST DEVELOPMENT 40.00 0.00 X 243652 0 33155 BERNADETTE HORVAT VP, TALENT AND CULTURE 40.00 0.00 X 447789 0 34912 LORNA LYNN VP, MEDICAL EDUCATION RESEARCH 39.00 1.00 X 343210 7004 45716 BRADLEY BROSSMAN VP, PSYCHOMETRICS 40.00 0.00 X 256441 0 71810 ROBERT KENDRICK VP, FINANCE OPERATIONS 40.00 0.00 X 224622 0 70848 JEROME CLAUSER SR DIR, RESEARCH & INNOVATIONS 40.00 0.00 X 226322 0 30402 6346001 556743 938365 130 0 1 0 BALLARD SPAHR LLP 1735 MARKET STREET PHILADELPHIA PA 19103 LEGAL SERVICES 1407323 EVOLTA LLC 609 MAPLEWOOD AVENUE SPRINGFIELD PA 19064 CONSULTING SERVICES 1169365 INSIGHT GLOBAL 4170 ASHFORD DUNWOODY ROAD ATLANTA GA 30346 EMPLOYMENT AGENCY 906349 MJDP RESOUCES LLC PO BOX 123 SPRINGFIELD PA 19064 CONSULTING SERVICES 873033 CAPGEMINI AMERICA INC 555 BUSINESS CENTER DR HORSHAM PA 19044 CONSULTING SERVICES 691816 19 MAINTENANCE OF CERTIFICATION 900099 59914662 59914662 CERTIFICATION EXAM FEES 900099 40448282 40448282 100362944 7185041 -3097 7188138 OTHER BOARD EXAM REVENUE 900099 326412 326412 CREDENTIALING FEES 900099 88200 88200 RESCORE 900099 70500 70500 318604 302062 16542 803716 108351701 101150118 -3097 7204680 X 5479738 3993085 1486653 30348969 22115977 8232992 3090257 2251870 838387 3955868 2882837 1073031 2460363 1792867 667496 1251363 911893 339470 61350 44707 16643 9014284 6568884 2445400 2138159 1558119 580040 3260167 2375747 884420 147194 107263 39931 839298 611613 227685 1091850 795652 296198 976950 711922 265028 CERTIFYING EXAM 10446352 10446352 MOC EXAM 2922311 2922311 STAFF EXPENSES 630597 459528 171069 PROGRAM/PROJECT EXPENSE 623352 454249 169103 663024 483171 179853 79401446 61488047 17913399 0 11227924 12420638 158140925 146582471 55245 34067 103032 55762 2408648 2147615 12452832 9678222 2170944 2774610 4668427 17382582 27599090 45537872 44053790 224313017 253050625 8422147 9252237 98160299 96708407 60421019 59078182 167003465 165038826 X 57254307 87977732 55245 34067 57309552 88011799 224313017 253050625 28950255 1751992 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 65177053 71944515 87672436 98840860 101150118 424784982 65177053 71944515 87672436 98840860 101150118 424784982 405 2750 3006 4622 1745 12528 0 405 2750 3006 4622 1745 12528 424772454 61570 94242 2337763 6910527 7188138 16592240 61570 94242 2337763 6910527 7188138 16592240 12000 58296 27696 11947 16542 126481 65250623 72097053 90037895 105763334 108354798 441503703 0.96210 0.97420 0.03760 0.02540 X SCHEDULE A, PART III, LINE 12, EXPLANATION OF OTHER INCOME: OTHER INCOME -

PART I, LINE 7: ABIM HAS A BONUS POOL FOR TOP EXECUTIVES. THE BOARD EVALUATES THE PERFORMANCE OF EACH EXECUTIVE BASED ON PRE-ESTABLISHED OBJECTIVES FOR A GIVEN YEAR AND THEN DETERMINES WHETHER A BONUS IS APPROPRIATE. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 ABIM SEEKS TO ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF HEALTH CARE BY CERTIFYING INTERNISTS AND SUBSPECIALISTS WHO DEMONSTRATE THE KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND ATTITUDES ESSENTIAL FOR EXCELLENT PATIENT CARE. SINCE ITS FOUNDING IN 1936 TO ANSWER A PUBLIC CALL TO ESTABLISH MORE UNIFORM STANDARDS FOR PHYSICIANS, CERTIFICATION BY ABIM HAS STOOD FOR THE HIGHEST STANDARD IN INTERNAL MEDICINE AND ITS 20 SUBSPECIALTIES. CERTIFICATION HAS MEANT THAT INTERNISTS HAVE DEMONSTRATED - TO THEIR PEERS AND TO THE PUBLIC - THAT THEY HAVE THE CLINICAL JUDGMENT, SKILLS AND ATTITUDES ESSENTIAL FOR THE DELIVERY OF EXCELLENT PATIENT CARE. ABIM IS NOT A MEMBERSHIP SOCIETY, BUT A PHYSICIAN-LED NON-PROFIT, INDEPENDENT EVALUATION ORGANIZATION. RESEARCH SUGGESTS BOARD CERTIFICATION IS ASSOCIATED WITH BETTER CARE. OUR ACCOUNTABILITY IS BOTH TO THE PROFESSION OF MEDICINE AND TO THE PUBLIC. ABIM'S GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE CONSISTS OF MORE THAN 330 MEMBERS ON MORE THAN 50 BOARDS AND COMMITTEES AND INCLUDES PHYSICIANS, ALLIED PROFESSIONALS AND PUBLIC MEMBERS. ABIM OFFERS CERTIFICATION IN 21 DISCIPLINES - REPRESENTING THE BREADTH AND DEPTH OF INTERNAL MEDICINE. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 1A ABIM DOES NOT DELEGATE BROAD AUTHORITY TO ANY COMMITTEE. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 8B THERE ARE NO COMMITTEES WITH AUTHORITY TO ACT ON BEHALF OF THE GOVERNING BODY. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B THE FORM 990 IS PREPARED BY AN INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTING FIRM. THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT PROVIDES ALL INFORMATION AND REVIEWS THE FORM 990 PRIOR TO BOARD REVIEW. THE FORM 990 IS THEN MADE AVAILABLE TO THE ENTIRE GOVERNING BODY, VIA EMAIL, FOR COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS. ONCE ALL COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED, THE FORM 990 IS APPROVED. THE CFO SIGNS THE FORM 990 AND COMMUNICATES TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS THAT THE FORM 990 HAS BEEN FILED. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C A FORMAL, WRITTEN CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY HAS BEEN DEVELOPED AND IS REVIEWED PERIODICALLY BY THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST COMMITTEE, A SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. IT IS POSTED AND EASY TO LOCATE ON ABIM'S WEBSITE. ALL GOVERNANCE MEMBERS MUST ABIDE BY BOTH A FINANCIAL AND ACADEMIC CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY. ABIM STAFF ARE GOVERNED BY A CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY IN THE EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK AND EXECUTIVE STAFF ARE SUBJECT TO ANNUAL DISCLOSURE OF ANY POTENTIAL CONFLICTS. ALL GOVERNANCE AND EXECUTIVE STAFF DISCLOSURES OF RELEVANT RELATIONSHIPS ARE AVAILABLE ON ABIM'S WEBSITE. FINANCIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE APPOINTED TO SERVE ON ABIM BOARDS OR COMMITTEES ARE EXPECTED TO HAVE ABIM'S MISSION AS THEIR PRIMARY INTEREST WHEN CONTRIBUTING TO ABIM'S WORK. A REAL OR PERCEIVED CONFLICT OF INTEREST MAY ARISE WHEN, DUE TO ANOTHER INTEREST THAT MAY COMPETE WITH THOSE OF ABIM, AN INDIVIDUAL HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO INFLUENCE ABIM WORK IN WAYS THAT COULD LEAD TO, OR APPEAR TO LEAD TO, PERSONAL OR INSTITUTIONAL GAIN, OR ADVANTAGE FOR ANOTHER ORGANIZATION. THE ABIM CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE GUIDELINES FOR IDENTIFYING AND MANAGING CONFLICTS THAT ARISE FROM COMPETING INTERESTS. IT IS INTENDED TO MAINTAIN THE INTEGRITY OF ABIM'S DECISION-MAKING PROCESSES AND, THEREBY, MAINTAIN THE CONFIDENCE OF THE PROFESSION AND THE PUBLIC IN ABIM'S STANDARDS AND JUDGMENTS. THE POLICY APPLIES TO MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, THE ABIM COUNCIL, SPECIALTY BOARDS AND ADVISORY COMMITTEES, ASSESSMENT DEVELOPMENT GROUPS (INCLUDING APPROVAL COMMITTEES AND ITEM-WRITING TASK FORCES), STANDARD SETTING PANELS, AND ANY OTHER STANDING AND AD HOC COMMITTEES OR TASK FORCES OF ABIM THAT DEVELOP ABIM POLICIES OR PRODUCTS. THOSE IN SERVICE TO ABIM ON THESE OR SUBSEQUENTLY CREATED ENTITIES ARE REFERRED TO COLLECTIVELY AS "MEMBERS." THE POLICY APPLIES TO PUBLIC AND INTER-PROFESSIONAL MEMBERS AS WELL AS TO PHYSICIAN MEMBERS. BECAUSE THE WORK OF MEMBERS IN DIFFERENT GROUPS VARIES CONSIDERABLY IN FOCUS, DIFFERENT TYPES OF MANAGEMENT OF RELATIONSHIPS MAY BE INDICATED FOR SPECIFIC GROUPS. THE COMPLETE POLICY CAN BE FOUND AT HTTP://WWW.ABIM.ORG/ABOUT/GOVERNANCE/BOARD-POLICIES/FINANCIAL-CONFLICT-OF-I TEREST.ASPX. ACADEMIC CONFLICT OF INTEREST ABIM RECOGNIZES THAT INDIVIDUALS WHO SERVE ON ITS BOARD OF DIRECTORS, COUNCIL, SPECIALTY AND SUBSPECIALTY BOARDS, AND EXAM WRITING AND MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE SELF-ASSESSMENT PRODUCT COMMITTEES ARE ASKED TO SERVE THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY IN MANY WAYS. INDEED, IN MOST CIRCUMSTANCES, ABIM IS WELL-SERVED BY THE DIVERSE ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES OF ITS MEMBERS. MEMBERS MUST RECOGNIZE, HOWEVER, THAT SOME EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES CAN CREATE A REAL, POTENTIAL OR PERCEIVED CONFLICT OF INTEREST RELATING TO KNOWLEDGE OF QUESTIONS ON ABIM ASSESSMENTS. MEMBERS MUST FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES IN THE POLICY REGARDING EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES DURING ABIM SERVICE AND FOR A PERIOD OF TWO YEARS THEREAFTER. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EACH MEMBER TO REPORT POTENTIAL AND ACTUAL SOURCES OF PERSONAL ACADEMIC CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND TO COMPLY WITH THE POLICIES AND GUIDELINES DESCRIBED IN THE POLICY. PROTECTING THE INTEGRITY OF ABIM EXAMINATIONS AND OTHER ASSESSMENTS IS ABSOLUTELY VITAL TO THE SUCCESSFUL WORK OF ABIM. INVOLVEMENT OF THOSE WHO CONTRIBUTE TO ABIM EXAMINATIONS AND ASSESSMENTS IN EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS COULD CREATE THE PERCEPTION OF UNFAIR ADVANTAGE TO PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS. SPECIFICALLY, THOSE WHO DEVELOP ABIM EXAMINATIONS OR MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE SELF- ASSESSMENT PRODUCTS OR WHO INFLUENCE ABIM POLICIES MUST NOT PARTICIPATE IN EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES THAT ARE ADVERTISED AS PREPARATION FOR ABIM SECURE EXAMS IN THEIR SPECIALTY OR ANY OTHER ABIM AREA OF CERTIFICATION. ALTHOUGH MEMBERS OF SPECIFIC ASSESSMENT DEVELOPMENT GROUPS GENERALLY DO NOT HAVE ANY DIRECT KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE CONTENT OF OTHER EXAMINATIONS OFFERED BY ABIM, AND SOME MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, THE COUNCIL AND THE SPECIALTY BOARDS/ADVISORY COMMITTEES DO NOT WORK DIRECTLY ON ANY EXAMINATIONS, THE BROADER PHYSICIAN AND HEALTH CARE COMMUNITIES DO NOT MAKE A DISTINCTION BETWEEN THESE VARIED TYPES OF SERVICE TO ABIM. THEREFORE, THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES APPLY TO ALL MEMBERS. IN ADDITION, ABIM STAFF IS SUBJECT TO THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICIES SET FORTH IN THE ABIM STAFF CODE OF ETHICS AND BUSINESS CONDUCT. THE PRESIDENT AND CEO, AS A MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, IS SUBJECT TO THE GUIDELINES CONTAINED IN THIS POLICY AS WELL AS TO THE STAFF CODE OF ETHICS AND BUSINESS CONDUCT. IF UNCERTAIN ABOUT THESE GUIDELINES, INDIVIDUALS ARE URGED TO SEEK THE ADVICE OF THE ABIM CONFLICT OF INTEREST STAFF, THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST SUBCOMMITTEE OR THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD. QUESTIONS ABOUT ACTIVITIES NOT CLEARLY COVERED BY THESE GUIDELINES WILL BE TAKEN TO THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST SUBCOMMITTEE CHAIR, WHO MAY CHOOSE TO CONVENE THE FULL CONFLICT OF INTEREST SUBCOMMITTEE; MEMBERS MAY ALSO REQUEST A FULL CONFLICT OF INTEREST SUBCOMMITTEE REVIEW. DECISIONS OF THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST SUBCOMMITTEE CONCERNING PERMITTED AND PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES ARE TO BE CONSIDERED FINAL, AND THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST SUBCOMMITTEE MAY RECOMMEND TO THE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE SANCTIONS FOR MEMBERS FOUND TO BE IN VIOLATION OF THE ACADEMIC CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY OR A DECISION OF THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST SUBCOMMITTEE, UP TO AND INCLUDING REMOVAL FROM BOARD SERVICE OR REVOCATION OF CERTIFICATION. THE POLICY CAN BE FOUND AT HTTP://WWW.ABIM.ORG/ABOUT/GOVERNANCE/BOARD-POLICIES/ACADEMIC-CONFLICT-OF-IN EREST.ASPX. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 ABIM ENGAGES AN EXTERNAL COMPENSATION VENDOR TO CONDUCT AN ORGANIZATION-WIDE COMPENSATION REVIEW ROUGHLY EVERY THREE YEARS TO ASSURE COMPETITIVE BASE AND TOTAL COMPENSATION FOR ALL EMPLOYEES UP THROUGH AND INCLUDING VICE PRESIDENTS. EACH CYCLE, THE VENDOR: * REVIEWS ALL EXISTING JOB DESCRIPTIONS/DOCUMENTATION; * SPEAKS WITH KEY MANAGERS IN EACH FUNCTIONAL AREA; * RESEARCHES AND EXTRACTS PAY SURVEY DATA FOR SELECTED BENCHMARK JOB TYPES; AND, * ANALYZES SEVERAL PAY PRACTICE DATA SOURCES INCLUDING: VIEW OF COMMERCIAL SURVEY REPORTS (ECONOMIC RESEARCH INSTITUTE, SALARY.COM, PRM CONSULTING); * REVIEW OF 990S FOR NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS WITH SIMILAR SIZES IN HEALTH CARE; AND * ASSESSMENT OF THE PAY PRACTICES OF OTHER NON-PROFIT AND FOR-PROFIT CLIENTS IN THE PHILADELPHIA LABOR MARKET. ABIM MAINTAINS SALARIES IN LINE WITH DESIGNATED RANGES AND COMPETITIVE PAY PRACTICES. IN ADDITION, COMPENSATION OF OUR CEO IS REVIEWED EACH YEAR BY THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE (ECC), AND THE ECC'S RECOMMENDATION ON CEO COMPENSATION NEEDS TO BE APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. OTHER EXECUTIVE-LEVEL STAFF IS SET AFTER RECOMMENDATION BY THE CEO AND THEN REVIEW AND APPROVAL BY THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. THE ECC DIRECTLY ENGAGES AN INDEPENDENT CONSULTANT TO PROVIDE DATA ON SALARIES FOR COMPARABLE EXECUTIVE POSITIONS IN COMPARABLE ORGANIZATIONS, UPDATED EVERY THREE YEARS, AND THIS COMPARATIVE DATA IS USED TO SET, REVIEW AND APPROVE ALL EXECUTIVE SALARIES.
