An Interest Person would be every director, trustee, member of a board committee with governing board delegated powers, officer or "Key Management Employee" of a Children's organization whom has a direct or indirect financial interest. A Key Management Employee would be the chief executive officer of a Children's organization, any managers who report directly to the chief executive officer or the board of a Children's organization, any employee otherwise listed as a current or former "key employee" on the most recently filed IRS Form 990 of a Children's organization, or any other personnel so designated by the chief executive officer. 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 or trustees 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, such Interest person 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 exists. After exercising due diligence, the governing board or committee shall determine whether a) the transaction or arrangement is in the Children's organization best interest, is fair and reasonable or b) whether the Children's organization can obtain with reasonable efforts an equal or more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. The governing board of committee shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors or trustees whether a) to enter into the transaction or arrangement; or b) to enter into an equal or more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest; or c) take no action. Each interest Person of a Children's organization shall annually sign a statement which affirms that such person a) has received a copy of the conflict of interest policy; b) has read and understands the policy; and c) has agreed to comply with the policy. Annually, Interested Persons will complete a questionnaire to provide information needed in connection with the Children's organization's filing of its IRS Form 990 with the Internal Revenue Service.

Offices & Positions for Which Process was Used, & Year Process was Begun Form 990, Part VI, Question 15a&b Children's Board of Trustees has ultimate decision-making over Executive Compensation, and the Compensation and Benefits Committee (Committee) is responsible for program oversight and administration and for making recommendations to the Board. The Compensation and Benefits Committee is comprised of Independent Board members and charged with evaluating the total compensation package of selected employees (called "disqualified persons"). To carry out this charge, the Committee engages an independent third party executive compensation consulting firm to complete an annual assessment of the competiveness and reasonableness of the total compensation package for "disqualified persons" and other executives. Using market data provided by the third party relating to the pay, benefits and perquisites paid to functionally comparable positions in organizations comparable to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, the Committee provides total compensation recommendations. Pay recommendations are made in December and Board approved changes, if any, are effective in January of the coming year. Incentive payouts are approved in February, for the prior year's performance, and issued in March. All Committee recommendations and Board decisions (related to Executive Compensation) are documented in the applicable meeting minutes. Executives are eligible for an annual incentive, which includes a measurement for achievement of the budgeted operating margin. These incentives are calculated as a certain percentage of the executive's base compensation approved by the compensation & benefits committee.
