2016 Named Executive Officer Base Salaries and Bonus Targets

On May 23, 2016, the Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Quorum Health Corporation (the “Company”) met and approved the following 2016 base salary and target bonus amounts for the Company’s executive officers, including the named executive officers as reflected in the Company’s Information Statement included as an exhibit to the Registration Statement on Form 10, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2016 and declared effective on April 4, 2016. The cash bonus amounts, if earned, will be paid pursuant to the Company’s 2016 Employee Performance Incentive Plan. The target bonus amounts will be payable based on the Company’s achievement of target EBITDA and quality objectives and weighted 70% and 30%, respectively.

2016 Amended and Restated Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan

As previously disclosed, on April 1, 2016, the Board adopted the Quorum Health Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“Original SERP Plan”). Pursuant to the Employee Matters Agreement (“EMA”) between the Company and Community Health Systems, Inc. (“CHS”) entered into in connection with the spin-off of the Company from CHS, the Company assumed all liabilities for all obligations under the CHS Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan for the benefits of QHC Employees (as defined in the EMA), except that no additional benefits were to accrue under the Original SERP Plan. On May 24, 2016, the Board, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved the Company’s Amended and Restated Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “Amended and Restated SERP”), in order to continue to accrue additional benefits with respect to QHC Employees (as defined in the EMA) who otherwise qualify as “Participants” under the Amended and Restated SERP. The Amended and Restated SERP is a noncontributory non-qualified deferred compensation plan under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. It provides for the payment of benefits from the general funds of the Company. The Compensation Committee administers the plan and all determinations and decisions made by the Compensation Committee are final, conclusive and binding upon all participants. In particular, the defined benefit provided under the Amended and Restated SERP is intended to supplement the incentives provided by the other elements of the Company’s executive compensation program, for which the maximum provision of benefits is limited to three years.

The Amended and Restated SERP generally provides that, when a participant retires after his or her normal retirement date (age 65), he or she will be entitled to receive a single lump-sum payment based on the actuarially-determined monthly income payment based on a monthly calculation of (i) the participant’s annual retirement benefit, reduced by (ii) the participant’s monthly amount of Social Security old age and survivor disability insurance benefits payable to the participant commencing at his or her unreduced Social Security retirement age.
