      <Description>DENTAL SERVICE OF MASSACHUSETTS, INC. (DSM) IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT DENTAL SERVICE ORGANIZATION INCORPORATED TO PROVIDE DENTAL INSURANCE TO MASSACHUSETTS GROUPS AND INDIVIDUALS. WE BELIEVE THAT EVERYBODY DESERVES A HEALTHY SMILE. DENTAL IS ALL WE DO, AND WE'RE COMMITTED TO DOING IT BETTER THAN ANYBODY ELSE. FROM ADMINISTERING INNOVATIVE DENTAL BENEFIT PLANS THROUGH THE NATION'S LARGEST NETWORK OF DENTISTS, TO DRIVING RESEARCH THAT IMPROVES ORAL HEALTH FOR EVERYONE IN THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE, DSM IS COMMITTED TO SPREADING SMILES. FOR MORE THAN 40 YEARS, DSM HAS DEDICATED ITSELF TO IMPROVING ORAL HEALTH. AFTER ALL, TAKING CARE OF TEETH IS ALL WE DO. TEETH ARE OUR LIFE. THEY'RE OUR PASSION, WHICH MAY BE WHY MORE COMPANIES OFFERING DENTAL BENEFITS TO EMPLOYEES TODAY CHOOSE DSM THAN ANY OTHER DENTAL PLAN. NEARLY EVERY DENTIST IN THE STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS PARTICIPATES IN ONE OR MORE OF OUR PLANS. PLUS, WHEN SOMEONE SIGNS UP WITH DSM, THEY ARE PARTNERING WITH A COMPANY THAT'S ON THE FOREFRONT OF PROMOTING ADVANCED DENTAL TREATMENTS AND PREVENTIVE PROGRAMS. FROM SPEARHEADING TREATMENTS THAT KEEP ORAL BACTERIA IN CHECK TO STOP THE DECAY OF TEETH, TO COMMUNITY FLUORIDATION PROGRAMS THAT BENEFIT ALL RESIDENTS, WE LEAD THE WAY IN IMPROVING THE ORAL HEALTH OF INDIVIDUALS THROUGH INNOVATIVE, QUALITY DENTAL PROGRAMS. programs.</Description>

LEVEL OF DETERMINATION AND REVIEW OF CONFLICTS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACTUAL OR POSSIBLE CONFLICT OF INTEREST, AN INTERESTED PERSON MUST DISCLOSE THE EXISTENCE OF THE FINANCIAL INTEREST AND BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCLOSE ALL MATERIAL FACTS TO THE DIRECTORS AND MEMBERS OF COMMITTEES WITH GOVERNING BOARD DELEGATED POWERS CONSIDERING THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT. AFTER PRESENTATION OF A POTENTIAL TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT IS MADE BY AN INTERESTED PERSON, THE REMAINING DISINTERESTED BOARD OR COMMITTEE MEMBERS SHALL DECIDE IF A CONFLICT OF INTEREST EXISTS. THE CHAIRPERSON OF THE GOVERNING BOARD OR COMMITTEE SHALL, IF APPROPRIATE, APPOINT A DISINTERESTED PERSON OR COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT. AFTER EXERCISING DUE DILIGENCE, THE GOVERNING BOARD OR COMMITTEE SHALL DETERMINE IF DENTAL SERVICE OF MASSACHUSETTS CAN OBTAIN, WITH REASONABLE EFFORTS, A MORE ADVANTAGEOUS TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT FROM A PERSON OR ENTITY THAT WOULD NOT GIVE RISE TO A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. IF A MORE ADVANTAGEOUS TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT IS NOT REASONABLY POSSIBLE UNDER CIRCUMSTANCES NOT PRODUCING A CONFLICT OF INTEREST, THE GOVERNING BOARD OR COMMITTEE SHALL DETERMINE BY A MAJORITY VOTE OF THE DISINTERESTED DIRECTORS WHETHER THE TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT IS IN THE ORGANIZATION'S BEST INTEREST, FOR ITS OWN BENEFIT AND WHETHER IT IS FAIR AND REASONABLE. IN CONFORMITY WITH THE ABOVE DETERMINATION, THE GOVERNING BOARD OR COMMITTEE SHALL MAKE ITS DECISION AS TO WHETHER TO ENTER INTO THE TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT. RESTRICTIONS PLACED ON CONFLICTED PERSONS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACTUAL OR POSSIBLE CONFLICT OF INTEREST, AN INTERESTED PERSON MUST DISCLOSE THE EXISTENCE OF THE FINANCIAL INTEREST AND BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCLOSE ALL MATERIAL FACTS TO THE DIRECTORS AND MEMBERS OF COMMITTEES WITH GOVERNING BOARD DELEGATED POWERS CONSIDERING THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT. AFTER DISCLOSURE OF THE FINANCIAL INTEREST AND ALL MATERIAL FACTS, AND AFTER ANY DISCUSSION WITH THE INTERESTED PERSON, HE/SHE SHALL LEAVE THE GOVERNING BOARD OR COMMITTEE MEETING WHILE THE DETERMINATION OF A CONFLICT OF INTEREST IS DISCUSSED AND VOTED UPON. THE REMAINING BOARD OR COMMITTEE MEMBERS SHALL DECIDE IF A CONFLICT OF INTEREST EXISTS. COMPENSATION POLICY PART VI, QUESTION 15 THE PROCESS FOR DETERMINING COMPENSATION FOR THE ORGANIZATION'S CEO AND OTHER TOP MANAGEMENT IS MODELED AFTER THE REQUIREMENTS IN THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 4958 TO ESTABLISH THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLE COMPENSATION. COMPENSATION IS REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY A COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ("THE COMMITTEE") OF THE BOARD, WHICH IS COMPRISED OF INDEPENDENT PERSONS, ON AN ANNUAL BASIS. THE COMMITTEE ENGAGED AN INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT, WHICH PRESENTED TO THE COMMITTEE COMPARABLE MARKET DATA FROM PUBLISHED SURVEYS AND FORM 990S OF COMPARABLE ORGANIZATIONS TO ASSIST IN EVALUATING THE COMPENSATION FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL. THE COMMITTEE CONDUCTED A REVIEW OF THIS COMPARABILITY DATA AND DOCUMENTED ITS DELIBERATIONS AND DISCUSSIONS IN MINUTES THAT ARE RETAINED WITH OTHER GOVERNANCE RECORDS OF THE ORGANIZATION. THE COMMITTEE FOLLOWED THE PROCESS TO ESTABLISH THE PRESUMPTION THAT COMPENSATION PAID TO THE ORGANIZATION'S CEO AND OTHER TOP MANAGEMENT WAS REASONABLE FOR PURPOSES OF SECTION 4958 BY RELYING ON PROFESSIONAL ADVICE IN A WRITTEN OPINION OF REASONABLENESS FROM INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT. THE COMMITTEE INFORMS THE BOARD OF ITS DECISIONS AT THE NEXT BOARD MEETING. PUBLIC DISCLOSURE PART VI, QUESTION 19 WE DO NOT PUBLISH ANY GOVERNING POLICIES OR DOCUMENTS FOR PUBLIC CONSUMPTION. WE DO FILE A MASSACHUSETTS FORM PC WITH AN ATTACHED FORM 990. THE FORM PC IS FILED WITH THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE AND IS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION BY ANY OF THE INTERESTED PUBLIC.
