**1. Q: Why am I receiving these materials?** 

A: This Proxy Statement and enclosed forms of Proxy (first mailed to the holders of Class A and Class C Common Stock, and to the holders of Class B and Class D Common Stock who requested to receive printed Proxy Materials, on or about April 9, 2026) are furnished in connection with the solicitation by our Board of Directors of Proxies for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or at any adjournment thereof. A Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials was first mailed to all of our other stockholders beginning on or about April 9, 2026. The Annual Meeting will be held on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, beginning at 10:00 a.m. EDT. The Annual Meeting will be accessible via live audiocast on the internet. To participate at the Annual Meeting online, please visit www.meetnow.global/MXMYPG9. For additional information on the virtual meeting review the instructions under the Q&A section entitled "How can I attend and vote at the online meeting?" below. As a stockholder, you are invited to attend the Annual Meeting and are requested to vote on the items of business described in this Proxy Statement.

**2. Q: What is the purpose of the Annual Meeting?** 

A: The Annual Meeting is being held for the following purposes: (1) to have the holders of Class A and C Common Stock (voting together as a single class) elect one Class III director and to have the holders of Class B and Class D Common Stock (voting together as a single class) elect one Class III director, each such director to serve for a term of three years until the annual election of directors in 2029 or the election and qualification of their respective successor; (2) to conduct an advisory (nonbinding) vote to approve named executive officer compensation; (3) the ratification of the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026; (4) to act on a stockholder proposal to report votes based on UHS shareholder money at risk; (5) to act on a stockholder proposal to adopt a policy requiring Universal Health Services, Inc. to publicly disclose its workforce diversity; and (6) the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment thereof. We will also discuss our business and be available for your comments and discussion.

**3. Q: Why did holders of Class B and Class D Common Stock receive a notice in the mail regarding the internet availability of Proxy Materials instead of a full set of Proxy Materials?** 

A: In accordance with "notice and access" rules adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, we may furnish Proxy Materials, including this Proxy Statement and our Annual Report to Stockholders, to our stockholders by providing access to such documents on the internet instead of mailing printed copies. Holders of Class B and Class D Common Stock will not receive printed copies of the Proxy Materials unless they request them. Instead, the Notice, which was mailed to holders of Class B and Class D Common Stock that did not request printed copies of the Proxy

Materials, will instruct you as to how you may access and review all of the Proxy Materials on the internet. Please visit https://www.edocumentview.com/uhs. The Notice also instructs you as to how you may submit your Proxy on the internet. If you would like to receive a paper or e-mail copy of our Proxy Materials, you should follow the instructions for requesting such materials in the Notice.

**4. Q: Who may attend the Annual Meeting?** 

A: All stockholders of record and registered beneficial holders as of the close of business on March 23, 2026, or their duly appointed proxies, may attend the meeting online at www.meetnow.global/MXMYPG9. For additional information on the virtual meeting review the Q&A below entitled "How can I attend and vote at the online meeting?"

**5. Q: How can I attend and vote at the online meeting?** 

A: *For registered stockholders:* If on the record date your Shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A. ("Computershare"), then you are a stockholder of record (also known as a "record holder"). Stockholders of record at the close of business on the record date will be able to attend the Annual Meeting online, ask a question and vote by visiting www.meetnow.global/MXMYPG9 at the meeting date and time and entering the 15-digit control number located in the shaded bar of the proxy card or notice they received. We encourage you to access the Annual Meeting prior to the start time. Online access will begin at 9:45 a.m., Eastern Time.

*For beneficial owners:* If on the record date your Shares were not registered directly in your name with Computershare but instead held by an intermediary, such as a bank, broker or other nominee, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in "street name". The organization holding your account is considered to be the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you must register in advance to attend the Annual Meeting, vote and submit questions. To register in advance you will need to obtain a legal proxy from the bank, broker or other nominee that holds your Shares giving you the right to vote the Shares. Once you have received a legal proxy form from your bank, broker or other nominee, forward the email with your name and the legal proxy attached or send a separate email with your name and legal proxy attached labeled "Legal Proxy" in the subject line to Computershare, at legalproxy@computershare.com. Requests for registration must be received no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on May 15, 2026. You will then receive a confirmation of your registration, with a control number, by email from Computershare. At the time of the meeting, go to www.meetnow.global/MXMYPG9 and enter your control number. If you do not have your control number you may attend as a guest (non-stockholder) by going to www.meetnow.global/MXMYPG9, clicking on the "Guest" link and entering the requested information. Please note that guest access is in listen-only mode and you will not have the ability to ask questions or vote during the Annual Meeting.

**6. Q: Do I need to register to attend the Annual Meeting virtually?** 

A: Registration is only required if you are a beneficial owner. Beneficial holders may register as set forth above or they may register at the Annual Meeting using the control number received with their voting information form. Beginning in the 2021 proxy season, an industry solution was agreed upon to allow beneficial holders to register online at the Annual Meeting to attend and ask questions. We expect that the vast majority of beneficial holders will be able to fully participate using the control number received with their voting instruction form. Please note, however, that this option is intended to be provided as a convenience to beneficial holders only, and there is no guarantee this option will be available for every type of beneficial holder voting control number. The inability to provide this option to any or all beneficial holders shall in no way impact the validity of the Annual Meeting. Beneficial holders may

choose the Register in Advance of the Annual Meeting option above, if they prefer to use this traditional, legal proxy option set forth in #5 above and have the ability to vote.

The online meeting will begin promptly at 10:00 a.m., EDT. We encourage you to access the meeting prior to the start time leaving ample time for the check in. Please follow the registration instructions as outlined in this proxy statement.

**7. Q: What if I have trouble accessing the Annual Meeting virtually?** 

A: The virtual meeting platform is fully supported across browsers (MS Edge, Firefox, Chrome and Safari) and devices (desktops, laptops, tablets and cell phones) running the most up-to-date version of applicable software and plugins. Participants should ensure that they have a strong Wi-Fi connection wherever they intend to participate in the meeting. We encourage you to access the meeting prior to the start time. A link on the meeting page will provide further assistance should you need it, or you may call 1-888-724-2416.

**8. Q: Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?** 

A: Only stockholders as of the close of business on March 23, 2026 are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On that date, 6,574,600 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, 661,688 shares of Class C Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, 53,780,983 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, and 12,457 shares of Class D Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, were outstanding.

**9. Q: Who is soliciting my vote?** 

A: The principal solicitation of Proxies is being made by the Board of Directors by mail. Certain of our officers, directors and employees, none of whom will receive additional compensation therefor, may solicit Proxies by telephone or other personal contact. We will bear the cost of the solicitation of the Proxies, including postage, printing and handling and will reimburse the reasonable expenses of brokerage firms and others for forwarding material to beneficial owners of shares. We have not engaged any third party to assist us in solicitation of proxies at the Annual Meeting, but we may decide to retain the services of a proxy solicitation firm in the future if we believe it is appropriate under the circumstances.

**10. Q: What items of business will be voted on at the Annual Meeting?** 

A: The holders of Class A and C Common Stock (voting together as a single class) will elect one Class III director and the holders of Class B and D Common Stock (voting together as a single class) will elect one Class III director, each such director to serve for a term of three years until the annual election of directors in 2029 or the election and qualification of their respective successor. The holders of Class A, Class C, Class B and Class D Common Stock (voting together as a single class) will vote on the following matters: an advisory (nonbinding) vote to approve named executive officer compensation, the ratification of the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, a stockholder proposal to report votes based on UHS shareholder money at risk, and a stockholder proposal to adopt a policy requiring Universal Health Services, Inc. to publicly disclose its workforce diversity.

**Questions and Answers**<br>

**11. Q: How does the Board of Directors recommend that I vote?**

The Board of Directors recommends that holders of Class A, Class C, Class B, and Class D Common Stock vote shares "FOR" the advisory (nonbinding) vote to approve named executive officer compensation (Proposal 2).

The Board of Directors recommends that holders of Class A, Class C, Class B and Class D Common Stock vote shares "FOR" the ratification of the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 (Proposal 3).

The Board of Directors recommends that holders of Class A, Class C, Class B, and Class D Common Stock vote shares "AGAINST" the stockholder proposal to report votes based on UHS shareholder money at risk (Proposal 4).

The Board of Directors recommends that holders of Class A, Class C, Class B, and Class D Common Stock vote shares "AGAINST" the stockholder proposal to adopt a policy requiring Universal Health Services, Inc. to publicly disclose its workforce diversity (Proposal 5).

**12. Q: How will voting on any other business be conducted?** 

A: Other than the items of business described in this Proxy Statement, we know of no other business to be presented for action at the Annual Meeting. As for any business that may properly come before the Annual Meeting, your signed Proxy gives authority to the persons named therein. Those persons may vote on such matters at their discretion and will use their best judgment with respect thereto.

**13. Q: What is the difference between a "stockholder of record" and a "street name" holder?** 

A: These terms describe how your shares are held. If your shares are registered directly in your name with Computershare, our transfer agent, you are a "stockholder of record." If your shares are held in the name of a brokerage, bank, trust or other nominee as a custodian, you are a "street name" holder.

**14. Q: How do I vote my shares if I am a stockholder of record?** 

A: A separate form of Proxy applies to our Class A and Class C Common Stock and a separate form of Proxy applies to our Class B and Class D Common Stock. For specific instructions on how to vote your shares, please refer to the instructions on the Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials you received in the mail or, if you received printed Proxy Materials, your enclosed Proxy card. If you received printed Proxy Materials, enclosed is a Proxy card for the shares of stock held by you on the record date. If you received printed Proxy Materials, you may vote by signing and dating each Proxy card you receive and returning it in the enclosed prepaid envelope, or you may vote by telephone or internet.

Unless otherwise indicated on the Proxy, shares represented by any Proxy will, if the Proxy is properly executed and received by us prior to the Annual Meeting, be voted "FOR" each of the nominees for director, "FOR" the advisory (nonbinding) vote to approve named executive officer compensation, "FOR" the ratification of the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, "AGAINST" the stockholder proposal to report votes based on UHS shareholder money as risk, and "AGAINST" the stockholder

proposal to adopt a policy requiring Universal Health Services, Inc. to publicly disclose its workforce diversity.

**15. Q: How do I vote by telephone or electronically?** 

A: Instead of submitting your vote by mail on the enclosed Proxy card (if you received printed Proxy Materials), your vote can be submitted by telephone or electronically, via the internet. Please refer to the specific instructions set forth on the Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials or, if you received printed Proxy Materials, on the enclosed Proxy card. For security reasons, our electronic voting system has been designed to authenticate your identity as a stockholder.

**16. Q: How do I vote my shares if they are held in street name?** 

A: If your shares are held in street name, your broker or other nominee will provide you with a form seeking instruction on how your shares should be voted.

**17. Q: Can I change or revoke my vote?** 

A: Yes. Any Proxy executed and returned to us is revocable by delivering a later signed and dated Proxy or other written notice to our Secretary at any time prior to its exercise. Your Proxy is also subject to revocation by attending the meeting and voting online.

**18. Q: How do I vote during the meeting?** 

A: If you have not already voted your shares in advance as described above, provided you are a registered stockholder or a registered beneficial stockholder with a control number, you will also be able to vote your shares electronically during the Annual Meeting by clicking on the "Vote" tab on the virtual meeting site. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote and submit your proxy in advance of or during the Annual Meeting by one of the methods described in the proxy materials.

**19. Q: How do I ask questions during the meeting?** 

A: If you are attending the meeting as a stockholder of record or registered beneficial owner, questions can be submitted by accessing the virtual meeting site at www.meetnow.global/MXMYPG9, entering your control number and clicking on the "Q&A" tab. Please note that guest access is in listen-only mode and you will not have the ability to ask questions or vote during the Annual Meeting.

**20. Q: What constitutes a "quorum"?** 

A: The holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of stock and entitled to vote at the meeting, either in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by Proxy duly authorized, constitutes a quorum. Proxies received but marked as abstentions and broker non-votes will be included in the calculation of the number of shares considered to be present at the meeting.

**21. Q: What are our voting rights with respect to the election of directors?** 

A: Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that, with respect to the election of directors, holders of Class A Common Stock vote as a class with the holders of Class C Common Stock, and holders of Class B Common Stock vote as a class with holders of Class D Common Stock, with holders of all classes of Common Stock entitled to one vote per share.

**Questions and Answers**<br>

Each holder of Class A Common Stock may cumulate his or her votes for directors giving one candidate a number of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected, multiplied by the number of shares of Class A Common Stock, or he or she may distribute his or her votes on the same principle among as many candidates as he or she shall see fit. For a holder of Class A Common Stock to exercise his or her cumulative voting rights, the stockholder must give notice at the meeting of such intention to cumulate votes.

As of March 23, 2026, the shares of Class A and Class C Common Stock, which constituted 11.9% of the aggregate outstanding shares of our Common Stock, had the right to elect five members of the Board of Directors and constituted 91.3% of our general voting power; and as of that date the shares of Class B and Class D Common Stock (excluding shares issuable upon exercise of options), which constituted 88.1% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock, had the right to elect two members of the Board of Directors and constituted 8.7% of our general voting power.

**22. Q: What are our voting rights with respect to matters other than the election of directors?** 

A: As to matters other than the election of directors, our Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that holders of Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D Common Stock all vote together as a single class, except as otherwise provided by law.

Each share of Class A Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote; each share of Class B Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to one-tenth of a vote; each share of Class C Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to 100 votes (provided the holder of Class C Common Stock holds a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to ten times the number of shares of Class C Common Stock that holder holds); and each share of Class D Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to ten votes (provided the holder of Class D Common Stock holds a number of shares of Class B Common Stock equal to ten times the number of shares of Class D Common Stock that holder holds).

In the event a holder of Class C or Class D Common Stock holds a number of shares of Class A or Class B Common Stock, respectively, less than ten times the number of shares of Class C or Class D Common Stock that holder holds, then that holder will be entitled to only one vote for every share of Class C Common Stock, or one-tenth of a vote for every share of Class D Common Stock, which that holder holds in excess of one-tenth the number of shares of Class A or Class B Common Stock, respectively, held by that holder. The Board of Directors, in its discretion, may require holders of Class C or Class D Common Stock to provide satisfactory evidence that such owner holds ten times as many shares of Class A or Class B Common Stock as Class C or Class D Common Stock, respectively, if such facts are not apparent from our stock records.

**23. Q: Will my shares be voted if I do not sign and return my Proxy card or vote by telephone or internet?** 

A: If you are a stockholder of record and you do not sign and return your Proxy card or vote by telephone or internet, your shares will not be voted at the Annual Meeting. If your shares are held in street name and you do not issue instructions to your broker, your broker may vote your shares at its discretion on routine matters, but may not vote your shares on nonroutine matters. Under the New York Stock Exchange rules, each of the proposals other than the ratification of the selection of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm is deemed to be a nonroutine matter with respect to which brokers and nominees may not exercise their voting discretion without receiving instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares.

**Questions and Answers**<br>

**24. Q: What is a "broker non-vote"?** 

A: "Broker non-votes" are shares held by brokers or nominees which are present in person or represented by Proxy, but which are not voted on a particular matter because instructions have not been received from the beneficial owner. Under the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, member brokers generally may not vote shares held by them in street name for customers unless they are permitted to do so under the rules of any national securities exchange of which they are a member. Under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, New York Stock Exchange-member brokers who hold shares of Common Stock in street name for their customers and have transmitted our Proxy solicitation materials to their customers, but do not receive voting instructions from such customers, are not permitted to vote on nonroutine matters. Under the New York Stock Exchange rules, each of the proposals other than the ratification of the selection of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm is deemed to be a nonroutine matter with respect to which brokers and nominees may not exercise their voting discretion without receiving instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares.

**25. Q: What is the effect of a broker non-vote?** 

A: Broker non-votes will be counted for the purpose of determining the presence or absence of a quorum but will not be considered present and entitled to vote on any matter for which a broker, bank or other nominee does not have authority.

For the Annual Meeting, pursuant to the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, your broker, bank or other nominee will be permitted to vote for you without instruction only with respect to Proposal 3 regarding the ratification of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. A broker non-vote will not have any impact on the outcome of any other proposals.

**PROPOSAL NO. 1** 

**ELECTION OF DIRECTORS** 

Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for a Board of Directors of not fewer than three members nor more than nine members, the exact number to be determined by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is currently comprised of seven members, and is divided into three classes, with members of each class serving for a three-year term. At each Annual Meeting of Stockholders, directors are chosen to succeed those in the class whose term expires at such Annual Meeting and, in the case of this Annual Meeting, directors will be elected as Class III directors.

Holders of shares of our outstanding Class B and Class D Common Stock (voting together as a single class) are entitled to elect two directors, currently one in Class II and one in Class III, and the holders of Class A and Class C Common Stock (voting together as a single class) are entitled to elect the remaining directors, currently three in Class I, one in Class II, and one in Class III.

The persons listed below include the members of our Board of Directors whose term of office will continue after the meeting and nominees. The terms of the current Class III directors, Mr. Alan B. Miller and Ms. Nina Chen-Langenmayr, expire at the 2026 Annual Meeting. Mr. Alan B. Miller has been nominated to be elected by the holders of Class A and Class C Common Stock and Ms. Nina Chen-Langenmayr has been nominated to be elected by the holders of Class B and Class D Common Stock. We have no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unavailable for election; however, if either nominee becomes unavailable for any reason, the shares represented by the Proxy will be voted for the person, if any, who is designated by the Board of Directors to replace the nominee. All nominees have consented to be named and have indicated their intent to serve if elected. The following information is furnished with respect to each of the nominees for election as a director and each member of the Board of Directors whose term of office will continue after the meeting.

The Board of Directors believes that it is essential that its members represent diverse viewpoints, with a broad array of experiences, professions, skills, geographic representation and backgrounds, including diversity of gender and race that, when considered as a group, provide a sufficient mix of perspectives to allow the Board of Directors to best fulfill its responsibilities to the long-term interests of our stockholders. The Board has refreshed the Board by replacing 80% of the non-management members of the Board within the last eight years. The Board has three female members, one of whom, Eileen McDonnell, serves as lead director and one of whom is a member of an underrepresented minority group.

**PROPOSAL NO. 2**

**ADVISORY VOTE ON NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION**

As previously disclosed by us, in 2022 as a result of shareholder feedback, our Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee") approved changes to various elements of compensation for our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and certain of our other named executive officers ("NEOs"). In 2022, after reviewing market data prepared by Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc. ("FW Cook"), our third-party executive compensation consultant, the Compensation Committee determined that the target pay mix for our CEO and certain of our other NEOs could be more closely aligned with the comparable target pay mix at our peer group companies.

Due to the differences between our target pay mix and that of our peer group, in 2022, our Compensation Committee determined that decreases in the weighting of LTI, and accompanying increases in cash incentive pay mix, were warranted for our CEO and certain of our other NEOs. Adjustments to base salaries were also warranted to further align the elements of our executive compensation to the pay mix of our peer group companies. At the time of implementation, there were no significant changes to the target total direct compensation ("TDC") for our CEO and other NEOs since these changes consisted of shifts in the mix of pay, not TDC amounts. In addition, commencing in March, 2022, each NEO began receiving their stock-based compensation as fixed dollar awards rather than awards that were denominated in a fixed number of shares.

Subsequent changes were also implemented in connection with the form of stock-based compensation awards made to our CEO and other NEOs to further align with peer group long-term incentive mix. To that end, commencing in 2024, our CEO and NEOs each received their annual target stock-based compensation awards in the form of time-based restricted stock units ("RSUs") at grant date market value, vesting over a four year period, and in the form of performance-based RSUs earned based upon the achievement of the three-year growth in our adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and the impacts of other income/expense ("Adjusted EBITDA net of NCI"), as compared to a target range of pre-established thresholds. Previously, our CEO and other NEOs received their stock-based compensation awards in the form of stock options and performance-based RSUs. Also commencing in 2024, all other employees began receiving their stock-based compensation as fixed dollar awards rather than awards that were denominated in a fixed number of shares. Such stock-based compensation was awarded in the form of time-based RSUs rather than a blend of stock options and time-based RSUs.

We believe the changes to the elements of compensation for each of our NEOs, as outlined above, continue to preserve significant reliance on at-risk, performance-based compensation for our CEO and other NEOs. In 2025, our CEO and our other NEOs received approximately 70% of target TDC in the form of long-term incentives.

Please see additional disclosure below in *Compensation Discussion and Analysis,* including disclosure related to certain changes made in connection with the performance-based RSUs awarded in March, 2026*.* 

Pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act and rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, we are asking you to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the compensation paid to our named executive officers as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis below, the compensation tables below, and any related narrative discussion contained in this Proxy Statement. This proposal, commonly known as a "say-on-pay" proposal, gives stockholders the opportunity to express their views on the compensation paid to our named executive officers. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in

this Proxy Statement. Accordingly, we are asking the stockholders to vote "FOR" the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:

"RESOLVED, that the Company's stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to the Company's named executive officers, as disclosed in the Company's proxy statement for the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion contained in this Proxy Statement."

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION PAID TO THE COMPANY'S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, AS DISCLOSED PURSUANT TO ITEM 402 OF REGULATION S-K, INCLUDING THE COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS, COMPENSATION TABLES AND NARRATIVE DISCUSSION CONTAINED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.<br>

**Vote Required** 

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of Class A, B, C and D Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter is required for the approval of this proposal.

If you are a stockholder of record and you do not sign and return your Proxy card or vote by telephone or internet, your shares will not be voted at the Annual Meeting. Under the New York Stock Exchange rules, this proposal is not a routine matter and broker non-votes may occur with respect to this proposal. If your shares are held in street name and you do not issue instructions to your broker, your broker or nominee may not vote your shares on these matters without receiving instructions.

Broker non-votes with respect to this matter will be treated as neither a vote "for" nor a vote "against" the matter, although they will be counted in determining the number of votes required to attain a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares present or represented at the meeting and entitled to vote. An abstention from voting by a stockholder present in person or by proxy at the meeting has no effect on the outcome of the vote because an abstention does not count as a vote cast.

The "say-on-pay" vote is advisory and will not be binding upon the Company, the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee. However, the Compensation Committee will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future named executive officer compensation arrangements.

**RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS** 

The Audit Committee of the Board has selected, and as a matter of good corporate governance, is requesting the ratification by the stockholders of the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to serve as our independent registered public accountants for the year ending December 31, 2026. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has served as our independent registered public accountants since 2007. If a favorable vote is not obtained, the Audit Committee may reconsider the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may select different independent auditors if it subsequently determines that such a change would be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP representatives will attend the Annual Meeting and respond to questions where appropriate. Such representatives may make a statement at the Annual Meeting should they so desire.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "**FOR"** THE RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2026. <br>

**Vote Required** 

Ratification of the selection of the independent registered public accountants by the stockholders requires that affirmative "FOR" vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter. Unless marked to the contrary, proxies will be voted FOR the ratification of the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accountants.

**STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL TO REPORT VOTES BASED ON UHS SHAREHOLDER MONEY AT RISK**

We have been informed that John Chevedden, 2215 Nelson Avenue, No. 205, Redondo Beach, CA, 90278, the beneficial owner of no fewer than 50 shares of our common stock, intends to introduce the resolution below at the Annual Meeting. The following stockholder proposal will be voted on at the Annual Meeting only if properly presented by or on behalf of Mr. Chevedden. In accordance with SEC rules, the proposed stockholder resolution and supporting statement are printed below verbatim from his submission.

**The Board of Directors opposes Mr. Chevedden's proposal for the reasons stated after the proposal.** 

**Stockholder Proposal** 

**Proposal 4 – Report Votes Based on UHS Shareholder Money at Risk**![img43833577_17.jpg](img43833577_17.jpg)

Shareholders request that in addition to the usual way that Universal Health Services reports the annual meeting votes, for instance for the 2025 annual meeting, that UHS report the annual meeting votes results for each item based on the money at risk that the shareholders of UHS have.

This proposal advocates a best practice given that UHS officers and directors have only 16% of the ownership of UHS yet have 91 % of the voting power. Long-term UHS shareholders may have forgotten this detriment to UHS shareholder value.

To improve shareholder value it would be a best practice for UHS to transition to a one-share equals one-vote structure, but until this is accomplished the annual meeting voting results should be presented in 2 formats. Thus the vast majority of UHS shareholders will then be able to see clearly when the votes of the UHS officers and directors are contrary to the votes of the overwhelming majority of UHS shareholders.

Dual-class stocks like UHS tend to create an inferior class of shareholders and hand over power to a select few, who are then allowed to pass the financial risk onto others. With few constraints placed upon them, managers holding super-class stock can spin out of control.

Insiders and senior managers can entrench themselves into the operations of the company, regardless of their abilities and performance. Dual-class structures may allow management to make bad decisions with few consequences.

Until UHS transitions to one-share equals one-vote, it is a best practice for the UHS annual meeting voting results to be reported in 2 formats.

Please vote yes:

**Proposal No. 4**<br>

**UHS Statement in Opposition to Stockholder Proposal** 

The Board of Directors recommends that stockholders vote AGAINST this stockholder proposal for the following reasons. The Board of Directors has carefully considered the proposal and, given that the Company's certificate of incorporation provides that, except with respect to the election of directors and as required by law, all classes vote together as a single class, the Board of Directors believes such disclosure could be misleading and is inappropriate. The Company already provides comprehensive information about our capital structure and security ownership through our existing disclosures. The Board of Directors believes that the requested additional disclosure, which we believe is not commonly provided by other companies, would be unnecessary. We believe this effectively would be the same as requiring the disclosure of how each person votes and has no effect on the outcome under the Company's certificate of incorporation or Delaware law. For these reasons and those detailed below, this proposal is not in the best interests of the Company or its stockholders.

Detailed disclosure with respect to our capital structure, the voting rights of each class of common stock, and security ownership is provided to our shareholders annually in our proxy statements and in our other filings made with the SEC. As previously disclosed in such filings (and in this Proxy Statement), except with respect to the election of directors and as required by law, all classes vote together as single class with each share of Class A Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote; each share of Class B Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to one-tenth of a vote; each share of Class C Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to 100 votes (provided the holder of Class C Common Stock holds a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to ten times the number of shares of Class C Common Stock that holder holds); and each share of Class D Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to ten votes (provided the holder of Class D Common Stock holds a number of shares of Class B Common Stock equal to ten times the number of shares of Class D Common Stock that holder holds). In the event a holder of Class C or Class D Common Stock holds a number of shares of Class A or Class B Common Stock, respectively, less than ten times the number of shares of Class C or Class D Common Stock that holder holds, then that holder will be entitled to only one vote for every share of Class C Common Stock, or one-tenth of a vote for every share of Class D Common Stock, which that holder holds in excess of one-tenth the number of shares of Class A or Class B Common Stock, respectively, held by that holder. In addition, we provide disclosure regarding the Common Stock ownership of certain of our beneficial owners and management. Because our stockholders already have access to these disclosures, including our capital structure and characteristics of our Common Stock, they are able to make informed assessments of our voting results. As such, we believe the requested disclosure is unnecessary, would add additional burden to our reporting, and would not add significant value to our stockholders. Additionally, the requested disclosure is not commonly provided by other companies with multi-class capital structures regarding voting on matters requiring stockholders of all classes to vote together as a single class, and disclosing the voting results separately for each class of shares based on money at risk would position us as an outlier in the market. Most importantly, such disclosure is irrelevant because, except with respect to the election of directors and as required by law, all classes vote together as single class and the total vote is reported as required. That vote is the only factor relevant to whether a proposal is adopted.

On the basis of the foregoing, the Board of Directors recommends a vote AGAINST the stockholder proposal.

**STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL REGARDING PUBLIC DISCLOSURE OF WORKFORCE DIVERSITY**

We have been informed that the New York State Common Retirement Fund, 110 State Street, Albany, New York 12236, the beneficial owner of no less than $25,000 in market value of our common stock, intends to introduce the resolution below at the Annual Meeting. The following stockholder proposal will be voted on at the Annual Meeting only if properly presented on behalf of the New York State Common Retirement Fund. In accordance with SEC rules, the proposed stockholder resolution and supporting statement are printed below verbatim from this submission.

**The Board of Directors opposes the New York State Common Retirement Fund's proposal for the reasons stated after the proposal.**

**Stockholder Proposal** 

Resolved: Shareholders request that the Board of Directors adopt a policy requiring Universal Health Services, Inc. (Universal Health or the Company) to publicly disclose its workforce diversity, including, at the Board's discretion, a breakdown of its workforce by race, ethnicity and gender and retention rates of employees by the same categories (Report). As part of such Report, the board, at its discretion, may wish to disclose its Consolidated EEO-1 Report (EEO-1 Report), which it is required to submit annually to the U.S Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. This Report shall be prepared at reasonable cost and omit information that is proprietary, privileged or violative of contractual obligations.

**Supporting Statement**

As intangible assets increasingly drive corporate value creation, investors seek a better understanding of human capital management strategy and performance. Universal Health employs approximately 86,000 employees in the United States and 13,000 in the United Kingdom. In the past the Company disclosed gender and race/ethnicity statistics for its workforce overall, new hires, and promotions. It is well recognized in the market and by Universal Health that there is a shortage of workers in the healthcare industry in the United States. Attrition in the industry is high and represents a major cost. According to third-party data provider Comparably, the Company is a laggard in retention among similar size companies. Transparency around these critical data points is needed, yet the Company is providing investors with less information than it did before.

The Fund believes that disclosure of this information would help investors assess the implementation of their portfolio companies' commitments to inclusion. Further, disclosure of the EEO-1 Report would be a cost-effective method of reporting some of this information. A lack of consistent and comparable disclosure of human capital practices makes it difficult for investors to integrate this key factor in their analysis of company risk and value. Virtually all 100 S&P companies and over 400 S&P 500 companies have disclosed their EEO-1 Reports. Likewise in Universal Health's sector, 81% of companies published their 2023 EEO-1 Reports. Standardized, quantitative, and reliable data will enable investors to assess Universal Health's workforce management practices versus its peers.

Universal Health is committed to diversity and inclusion, which is associated with employee retention and can provide a competitive advantage. Many investors believe that diverse and inclusive workplaces "encourag[e] varied perspectives that can better anticipate shifts in consumer preferences, reduc[e] costly turnover, and increas[e] productivity and morale," in addition to other benefits.<sup>1</sup> There remains a strong

investor preference for this disclosure so that they may assess performance versus peers. We urge Universal Health to join its peers in disclosing the requested information.

**UHS Statement in Opposition to Stockholder Proposal** 

**UHS Is Committed to Providing Equal Employment Opportunities**

It is the policy of Universal Health Services to provide equal employment opportunities to all employees, prospective and current. UHS is committed to complying with all federal, state, and local laws and regulations relating to equal employment and non-discrimination matters for all protected classes of employees including race, religion, color, gender, sexual orientation, age, national origin, genetic information, ancestry, disability, pregnancy, marital status, and military status. This policy applies to all employment practices, benefits, training, performance evaluations, company programs and practices, and all other terms, conditions and privileges of employment.

We are committed to the principle of Equal Employment Opportunity ("EEO") for all employees and applicants. As an EEO employer we support, and are fully committed, to recruitment, selection, placement, promotion and compensation of all individuals without regard to race, color, religion, age (40 and over or as otherwise defined by applicable law), sex (including pregnancy, gender identity, and sexual orientation), genetic information (including family medical history), national origin, disability status, protected veteran status or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local laws.

We value each member of our team and are committed to treating everyone with dignity and respect. Our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion includes regularly monitoring employment practices to ensure inclusivity regardless of an employee's gender, race or ethnicity and championing for inclusive behaviors through leadership example, policies and procedures, training and special events.

**Recognition and Awards**

Recently, UHS was named to Newsweek's annual ranking of America's Greatest Workplaces for Culture, Belonging & Community 2026. This recognition reflects success across multiple performance metrics relevant to women, minorities, and diverse demographic groups. The study combined a large-scale national survey, extensive desk research, and third-party data, evaluating companies with more than 1,000 employees. The survey, conducted between April and October 2025, gathered over 2.7 million company reviews from more than 179,000 employees. Additionally, findings from three prior studies (2022–2024) were incorporated, making this one of the largest independent employee studies in the U.S.

In addition, UHS was named to the 2024 American Opportunity Index as an Employer of Choice. This ranking measures how well America's largest companies invest in their employees through hiring, pay, promotion, parity, and culture. UHS ranked #1 in Medical Care Facilities and #56 overall.

**Employee Engagement and Development**

Our independently conducted employee engagement survey by Press Ganey showed continued improvement in 2025, even as industry benchmarks declined by 0.02. Key metrics include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Overall engagement: +0.02

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Likelihood to recommend UHS as a great place to work: +0.05

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Intent to stay if offered another job: +0.04

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Career development opportunities: +0.07

**Proposal No. 5**<br>

Retention has also improved, with turnover decreasing by 4% year-over-year. To support career growth, we expanded our in-house "U Learn" curriculum, offering over 60 courses across three structured tracks: *Invest in U, Develop U,* and *Manage U*. These programs are designed to foster growth at every career stage and have contributed to the positive outcomes noted above.

These initiatives not only strengthen our workforce but also support sustainable growth and long-term shareholder value.

**Objections to Proposal**

The shareholder proposal is extremely broad and would have us gather and publicly disclose detailed personal information about our employees. We gather information about our employees, including diversity data, as required by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. We do not solicit personal information from our employees that is not required by law.

Moreover, we believe that there are inherent risks and limitations in using the EEO-1 Report as the measure for evaluating our workplace diversity. As an initial matter, the information contained within the EEO-1 Report is a backward-looking singular snapshot in time, and does not accurately describe, measure, or properly contextualize our workplace diversity. Without proper context of the specific information described in the EEO-1 Report, there is a risk that the numbers could be misconstrued and not reflect the very real positive impact to UHS of our employment initiatives, workplace environment, and the overall effectiveness of our corporate strategies and programs. In addition, the information disclosed in the EEO-1 Report is provided voluntarily by our employees and is based on a pre-determined, government form that categorizes our workforce into certain EEOC-mandated job categories that fail to account for company or industry-specific roles. As such, there are risks that the EEO-1 Report may not accurately or effectively describe the diversity within our organization.

**Conclusion**

Given our firm commitment as an EEO employer, the burden implementing the proposal given our current data collection practices and the inherent limitations of the EEO-1 report data, the Board of Directors unanimously recommends that the stockholders vote "AGAINST" the proposal to disclose workforce diversity information.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "**AGAINST"** THE STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL REGARDING PUBLIC DISCLOSURE OF WORKFORCE DIVERSITY DESCRIBED IN PROPOSAL NO. 5. <br>

**Vote Required** 

The affirmative vote of the votes cast by holders of a majority of the Common Stock votes present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter is required for the approval of the stockholder proposal. Abstentions from voting on this proposal will have no effect on the outcome of the vote because an abstention does not count as a vote cast. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.

The following are a few of the quality and patient care highlights achieved in 2025:

**Acute Care Services:** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•The Leapfrog Group is an independent organization which analyzes quality and safety data and published this data to inform consumers about the safety of healthcare. Eighteen of our acute care hospitals evaluated earned an "A" or "B" safety grade from The Leapfrog Group during 2025 Fall and/or Spring ratings. Lakewood Ranch Medical Center was bestowed the Top Teaching Hospital Award for the second consecutive year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•South Texas Health System ("STHS") and Texoma Medical Center earned U.S. News and World Report's 2025-2026 Best Regional Hospital and Best Regional Hospital for Community Access badges. This is the fourth consecutive time STHS earned the Best Regional Hospital award. Collectively, sixteen of our acute care hospitals/health systems evaluated earned nearly 60 High Performing awards for procedures/conditions. The George Washington University Hospital was also awarded a High Performing badge for Neurology & Neurosurgery.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Centennial Hills Hospital Medical Center, Henderson Hospital, Spring Valley Hospital Medical Center, Southwest Healthcare Rancho Springs Hospital and Summerlin Hospital Medical Center each earned U.S. News and World Report's 2026 High Performing designation for Maternity Care (Uncomplicated Pregnancy); the highest accolade for this category.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•In 2026, St. Mary's Regional Medical Center earned America's Best in State Hospitals award from Newsweek and Statista for the third consecutive year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•During 2025, our acute care hospitals delivered nearly $3.9 billion in uncompensated care.

**Behavioral Health Care Services:** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' Inpatient Psychiatric Facility Quality Reporting measures compare our behavioral health care facilities to approximately 1,600 providers in the U.S. Our 2025 behavioral health results exceed the national average in 8 out of 11 indicators. These measures are publicly available.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•In 2025, patients in our behavioral health care facilities rated their satisfaction with their overall care, on average, as 4.4 out of 5 in our patient satisfaction surveys. More than 90% of our patients indicated they felt better following care at one of our facilities; and 89% of our patients indicated that their treatment goals were met.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•As indicated in our referral source satisfaction survey, 85% of our referral sources consider our behavioral health care facilities as their provider of choice while scoring a 4.3 out of 5 on all questions asked and a 4.4 on overall quality of patient care.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•In 2020, our behavioral health care facilities began obtaining Net Promoter Scores ("NPS") as a component of the patient satisfaction survey. NPS is utilized by approximately two-thirds of Fortune 1000 companies to gauge customer loyalty. In 2025, the average aggregate score for our behavioral health care facilities was 45.0 which is considered a high score by industry standards. Our outpatient programs' NPS score was 63.5 which is considered excellent. Our Patriot Support Programs, which serve active duty military personnel, veterans and their dependents, have an NPS score of 55.5.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•In 2025, 172 of our behavioral health care facilities and 336,000 patients completed patient reported symptom scales that measure clinical severity. An evidence-based tool is administered at admission and at discharge to determine effectiveness and impact of care provided. 83% of our patients exhibited statistically meaningful improvement following intervention at our behavioral health facilities. Utilizing these tools in addition to patient satisfaction, publicly reported measures and NPS, provides our facilities the opportunity to benchmark, improve and report on the quality of care provided.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•In 2025,171 students completed their high school requirements while receiving care at one of our behavioral health care facilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•In 2025, our behavioral health care facilities completed a multi-year implementation of Trauma Informed Care principles into their operations. These principles are critically important in understanding the impact of trauma on those seeking care as well as those providing care.

In addition to his civilian business career, Mr. Peterson served in the Air National Guard ("ANG"), U.S. Airforce, and was promoted to Brigadier General prior to his retirement from the ANG in August, 2024.

**Compensation Philosophy and Objectives** 

Our compensation philosophy of strongly aligning pay with performance is grounded in best practices that are regulatory compliant, financially sound and provide long-term value to stockholders. Specifically, we:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Review peer group market data on an annual basis;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Discuss financial and operational performance rigorously in determining any base salary and incentive decisions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Enforce maximums on incentive payments to limit undue risk;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Evaluate our compensation practices on an annual basis;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Retain an independent, outside consultant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Do not provide plans generally outside of current market practices, and;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Do not offer excessive perquisites to our executives.

In designing our compensation programs for our named executive officers, we follow our belief that compensation should reflect the value created for stockholders while supporting our strategic business goals. In doing so, our compensation programs reflect the following objectives:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Compensation should encourage increases in stockholder value;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Compensation programs should support our short-term and long-term strategic business goals and objectives;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Compensation programs should reflect and promote our core values set forth in our mission statement, which includes commitment to excellence, high ethical standards, teamwork and innovation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Compensation should reward individuals for outstanding performance and contributions toward business goals, and;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Compensation programs should enable us to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified professionals.

These objectives govern the decisions that the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors ("Compensation Committee") and management of the Company make with respect to the amount and type of compensation payable to our named executive officers ("NEOs"). The Compensation Committee believes that linking executive compensation to corporate performance results in a strong alignment of compensation with

---

| |
|:---|
| 31 |
| **Universal Health Services, Inc. 2026 Proxy Statement** |

---

------

**Executive Compensation**<br>

corporate business goals and stockholder value. This belief has been adhered to through the use of incentive pay programs that provide competitive compensation for achieving superior performance and creating value for stockholders. Executives are rewarded commensurately for the achievement of specified business goals and performance objectives, which may increase the value of our stock. Our compensation programs are reviewed annually to ensure that these objectives continue to be met.

**Compensation Setting Process** 

We retained the services of a third-party compensation consultant FW Cook to conduct a full comprehensive review of total direct compensation (base, incentive and equity) for our NEOs and market analysis of Board of Director fees and equity award structure. Information was reviewed from two reference points: UHS peer group established and detailed in our proxy statement and a secondary reference of size-adjusted (by revenues) data from the broader general industry. Data for the peer reference were drawn from publicly filed proxies. FW Cook's advice and analysis were used to make decisions on all direct compensation elements, as discussed above. As discussed in "Director Compensation" below, compensation practices for our Board of Directors were reviewed and compared to current peer and market practices.

With the approval of the Compensation Committee, management engaged FW Cook for compensation-related consulting services, substantially all of which related to the review and analysis of the elements and amounts of compensation for our CEO and other NEOs. FW Cook received no compensation during 2025 from the Company for any non-Compensation Committee requested services. For 2025, the Compensation Committee analyzed whether the work of FW Cook raised any conflicts of interest, taking into consideration all relevant factors, and determined, based on its analysis of all relevant factors, that no conflicts of interest were present.

**Elements of Compensation** 

Our executive compensation is based on six primary components, each of which is intended to serve the overall compensation objectives. These components include:

<u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Annual Base Salary</u> <u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Annual Cash Incentive</u> <u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Long-term Incentive Award</u> <br> <u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Deferred Compensation</u> <u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Retirement Benefits</u> <u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Other Benefits, including Perquisites</u>

**Executive Compensation**<br>

*Annual Base Salary* 

Our annual base salary levels are intended to be consistent with competitive pay practices and level of responsibility, with salary increases reflecting competitive trends, our overall financial performance, the performance of each individual executive and general economic conditions.

In establishing the base salary for our NEOs, various criteria are reviewed including the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the executive officer's achievements, performance in his or her position with us, taking into account the tenure of service, the complexity of the position and current job responsibilities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• company financial performance, and;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• salaries of similar positions in our compensation peer group and general industry comparisons.

For our NEOs during 2025, excluding our Executive Chairman, Mr. Alan B. Miller, we targeted their base salary at the median (50<sup>th</sup>percentile) of the compensation peer group (listed above), along with the median of broader general industry data, to establish our base market rate. We generally consider our base salaries to be competitive if they are approximately within a 15% range of the median market rate. For 2025, Messrs. Marc Miller, Filton, Peterson and Sim's salaries were within 15% of the data (as assessed relative to our peer and general industry groups). However, actual base salaries are not dictated solely by the median market rate. We also take into account an individual's expertise, tenure in the position, responsibilities and achievements.

*Annual Cash Incentives* 

Cash incentives for our NEOs are awarded under the Executive Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan is intended to support our efforts to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified senior management and other executive officers of the Company and its affiliates through the payment of performance-based incentive compensation. Annual incentive compensation may be awarded under the Plan to our NEOs and others as selected by the Compensation Committee for any calendar year. The Compensation Committee believes that the payment of cash incentives to our NEOs under the Plan is consistent with the objectives for our compensation programs by rewarding such officers for the achievement of specified business goals and performance objectives and that may increase the value of our stock.

The amount of an employee's cash incentive award for a calendar year is based upon the employee's target cash incentive and the extent to which the performance goal(s) applicable to the employee are achieved. For each calendar year, an employee's target cash incentive will be equal to a fixed percentage of the employee's base salary earned during the year.

The Compensation Committee establishes performance goals for the NEOs using such business criteria and other measures of performance discussed herein and the Compensation Committee will establish objective performance goals based upon one or more of the following business criteria:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• attainment of certain target levels of, or a specified increase in, after-tax or pre-tax profits;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• attainment of certain target levels of, or a specified increase in, earnings per diluted share or adjusted earnings per diluted share, and;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• attainment of certain target levels of, or a specified increase in, return on capital or return on invested capital.

*2025 Annual Cash Incentive Formula and Performance Goals:* 

On March 19, 2025, the Compensation Committee approved specific bonus formulae for the determination of the target annual incentive compensation for the Company's NEOs pursuant to the Plan for the year ending

**Executive Compensation**<br>

December 31, 2025. Under the formulae approved by the Compensation Committee, each of the Company's NEOs was assigned a percentage of such executive officer's 2025 base salary as a target bonus based upon corporate performance criteria. The corporate performance criteria target bonus award indicated below for Mr. Marc D. Miller is stipulated in his employment agreement, as discussed herein.

Mr. Alan B. Miller, who previously served as our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, transitioned to the role of Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors effective January 1, 2021. In connection with his role as Executive Chairman, Mr. Alan B. Miller does not participate in the Plan, however, he may be entitled to bonuses and other compensation (including discretionary annual incentive bonuses) as may be determined by the Compensation Committee.

With respect to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Messrs. Marc D. Miller and Filton – 100% of their annual incentive bonus for 2025 was based upon the corporate performance criteria, as described below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Messrs. Sim and Peterson – their 2025 annual incentive bonus was based upon:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 25% of their annual salary based upon the achievement of the corporate performance criteria, and;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 75% of their annual salary based upon the achievement of the divisional income, as described below.

The following table shows each executive officer's target bonus as a percentage of their base salary for 2025.

| &nbsp;&nbsp;Edward H. Sim | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Executive Vice President and President-Acute Care Division | 100% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Matthew J. Peterson | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Executive Vice President and President-Behavioral Health Division | 100% |

As part of our peer company compensation review for executive officers as discussed above in *Annual Base Salary*, we also target the median (50<sup>th</sup> percentile) market rate from our compensation peer group and the broader general industry data when determining each officer's target annual incentive. Actual cash incentive awards, however, appropriately vary from this targeted level based upon performance, consistent with our pay for performance philosophy, and are detailed in the Summary Compensation Table in this Proxy Statement. The Compensation Committee believes that the annual incentive opportunities offered to our NEOs are appropriate to facilitate our ability to attract, retain, motivate and reward our named executive officers, and that actual incentive payouts appropriately reflect the Company's performance.

***2025 Annual Cash Incentive:*** 

*Corporate Performance Criteria:* 

On February 26, 2025, we publicly announced our financial results for the year ended December 31, 2024, as well as our operating results forecast for the year ended December 31, 2025. At that time, we publicly announced that our 2025 estimated initial range of adjusted net income attributable to UHS was $18.45 per diluted share to $19.95 per diluted share (with a midpoint of $19.20 per diluted share), representing increases of 11% and 20%, respectively, over our actual adjusted net income attributable to UHS of $16.61 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2024.

**Executive Compensation**<br>

Based upon our actual operating results experienced during the six months ended June 30, 2025, and the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we publicly disclosed increases to our previously disclosed estimated range of adjusted net income per diluted share attributable to UHS for 2025, as indicated below. However, our annual incentive performance targets were not impacted by these publicly disclosed revisions to our initial estimated range of adjusted net income per diluted share attributable to UHS for 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•in July, 2025, we increased the lower end of the range to $20.00 per diluted share (from $18.45 per diluted share) and increased the upper end of the range to $21.00 per diluted share (from $19.95 per diluted share).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•in October, 2025, we increased the lower end of the range to $21.50 per diluted share (from $20.00 per diluted share) and increased the upper end of the range to $22.10 per diluted share (from $21.00 per diluted share).

Consistent with the certain components of the 2025 operating results forecast, as publicly disclosed on February 26, 2025, on March 19, 2025, the Compensation Committee approved specific formulae for determination of annual cash incentive targets, based on corporate performance criteria as reflected below, pursuant to the Plan for the year ended December 31, 2025. In the event that our adjusted net income attributable to UHS and/or the return on capital falls below the minimum end of the target ranges outlined below, no incentive compensation, that is based upon the corporate performance criteria, is earned.

On March 26, 2026, the Compensation Committee determined that, based upon our actual operating results for the year ended December 31, 2025, as publicly disclosed on February 25, 2026, the corporate performance criteria were achieved as indicated below.

During 2025, our adjusted net income attributable to UHS was $21.74 per diluted share, as computed on Annex A. This adjusted net income attributable to UHS per diluted share for 2025 was publicly disclosed and reconciled to our reported 2025 net income per diluted share attributable to UHS of $23.10, as computed on the Schedule of Non-GAAP Supplemental Information included with our financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Return on Capital is calculated by dividing our annual adjusted net income attributable to UHS by the consolidated average net capital.

The targets ranges were adjusted from prior years to correlate to our initial 2025 forecast of adjusted net income attributable to UHS per diluted share, as publicly disclosed on February 26, 2025.

**Executive Compensation**<br>

*Divisional Income Criteria:* 

The divisional income targets consist of the projected aggregate pre-tax income for our Acute Care Services and our Behavioral Health Care Services (excluding our facilities located in the U.K.), net of certain deductions which consist primarily of a charge for the estimated cost of capital. Although not a common practice, the divisional income targets and/or actual results may be adjusted to include or exclude the impact of items, if applicable and material, that are, among other things, nonrecurring or non-operational in nature.

Consistent with the certain components of the 2025 operating results forecast, as publicly disclosed on February 26, 2025, on March 19, 2025, the Compensation Committee approved specific formulae for determination of annual cash incentive targets as reflected below, based on divisional income targets pursuant to the Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2025. These targets applied to Mr. Sim for Acute Care Services and Mr. Peterson for Behavioral Health Care Services. In the event that the divisional income falls below the minimum end of the target ranges outlined below, no incentive compensation, that is based upon the divisional income criteria, is earned.

On March 26, 2026, the Compensation Committee determined that, based upon our actual operating results for the year ended December 31, 2025, the Acute Care Services and Behavioral Health Care Services divisional income targets were achieved as indicated below.

In determining the corporate performance criteria and divisional income criteria, various factors are considered, including the projected revenue and earnings growth over the prior year. Since the value received by stockholders is measured, in large part, by an increase in stock price, which is in turn typically influenced by increases in revenues and earnings, our performance criteria are established at reasonably aggressive levels to encourage the attainment of our financial objectives which, if accomplished, may result in an increase to our stock price and increased value to stockholders. As mentioned above, the corporate performance criteria are established annually and the target of adjusted net income attributable to UHS per diluted share directly correlates to our initial annual operating results forecast that is typically publicly disclosed by us in February of each year. The divisional income criteria are also established annually and represent each segment's respective portion of our initial operating results forecast for the applicable year.

Mr. Alan B. Miller, our Executive Chairman, receives compensation pursuant to his employment agreement which provided for a base salary of approximately $1.1 million in 2025, and the potential for a discretionary cash bonus, as determined by our Compensation Committee. In March, 2026, a discretionary cash bonus of approximately $1.1 million was approved by our Compensation Committee and paid to Mr. Alan B. Miller for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The performance goals related to the Plan, as outlined above, are generally based upon the achievement of our business plan financial objectives. Performance goals are established at reasonably aggressive levels to encourage and motivate executive performance and attainment of our financial objectives.

For a further description of the cash incentives and other elements of compensation granted to our named executive officers for 2025, 2024 and 2023, please refer to the Summary Compensation Table in this Proxy Statement.

*Long-Term Incentives* 

The Compensation Committee believes that the grant of equity-based, long-term compensation, primarily in the form of time-based restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units to our NEOs is appropriate to attract and retain such individuals and to motivate them to enhance stockholder value.

Further, long-term incentive awards reward individuals for their performance and achievement of business goals. The Compensation Committee believes that our best interests will be advanced by enabling our NEOs, who are responsible for our management, growth and success, to receive compensation in the form of long-term incentive awards that may increase in value in conjunction with an increase in the value of our common stock.

As is the case with respect to base salaries, a number of factors are taken into account in calibrating grants of long-term incentive awards, including an individual's performance in light of his or her position, responsibilities and contribution to our financial performance. In addition, the Compensation Committee takes into account an individual's potential contribution to our growth and productivity. In determining appropriate long-term incentive grants, there is no other predetermined formula, factors or specified list of criteria that is followed.

For a description of the long-term incentive awards granted to our named executive officers for 2025, please read the Summary Compensation Table and the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table included in this Proxy Statement.

**Executive Compensation**<br>

*Equity Grant Practices and Annual Stock-Based Compensation:* The Compensation Committee generally grants annual equity awards on specific dates that are scheduled in advance, which generally coincide with regularly scheduled meetings of the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors in the first quarter of each year. We do not have any plans to select equity award grant dates for our NEOs in coordination with the release of material non-public information. Typically, equity awards are granted to our NEOs at the same time as equity awards are granted to our other employees. In certain circumstances, such as new hires or promotions, equity awards in the form of RSUs, are granted separately by the Compensation Committee or our CEO and Chief Financial Officer who are duly authorized by the Compensation Committee.

The Compensation Committee awards annual stock-based compensation to our CEO and other NEOs in the form of a mix of time-based RSUs and performance-based RSUs. As discussed below, the performance-based RSUs will be earned based upon the achievement of the three-year growth in our adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and the impacts of other income/expense, as compared to a target range of pre-established thresholds.

The Compensation Committee believes that RSUs and performance-based RSU awards can be effective in achieving our compensation objectives because it provides employees with a strong retention incentive and aligns the value of the award with our stock price performance. The Compensation Committee may provide that restricted stock units/performance-based restricted stock units awards shall earn dividends or dividend equivalents (payable in cash or additional shares, or a combination of cash and shares), however, dividends or dividend equivalents may not be paid with respect to any RSU/performance-based RSU award until vesting requirements are satisfied. Generally, holders of RSUs/performance-based RSUs receive dividend equivalents which are subject to vesting in line with the underlying award to which they relate.

*Granting of 2025 Time-Based Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") and Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units ("PBRSUs"):* 

Consistent with the practice discussed above, in March of 2025, our CEO and other NEOs each received RSUs and PBRSUs. The PBRSUs granted in 2025 (as well as in 2024 and 2023), which were based upon the closing price of our Class B Common Stock on the date of grant, are earned based upon the achievement of the three-year growth in our adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and the impacts of other income/expense ("Adjusted EBITDA net of NCI"), as compared to a target range of pre-established thresholds.

The pre-established target ranges applicable to the PBRSUs granted to our NEOs during each of the last three years provide for the following:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Target ranges for PBRSUs** | **Target ranges for PBRSUs** | **Target ranges for PBRSUs** |
|  | **Minimum** | **Target** | **Maximum** |
| Percentage of Target PBRSUs awarded | 50% | 100% | 150% |
| Target range of Adjusted EBITDA net of NCI | 90% | 100% | 110% |

---

On March 19, 2025, our Compensation Committee awarded the following to our NEOs:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Time-based RSUs that are scheduled to vest in four equal installments on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date, and;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• PBRSUs (awarded at target) that will be earned pursuant to the pre-established target range of Adjusted EBITDA net of NCI, as discussed above.

| Matthew J. Peterson | 5651 | 5651 | 11302 | $178.08 | $2012660 |

---

In determining the number of RSUs and PBRSUs to award to our NEOs, the Compensation Committee reviewed the compensation data and competitive performance data prepared for 2025 by our third-party compensation consultant (FW Cook). The Compensation Committee also considered individual performance in light of an NEO's position, responsibilities and contribution to our financial performance as well as his potential contribution to our growth and productivity.

*Vesting of PBRSUs Granted in 2023 ("2023 PBRSUs):*

The pre-established 3-year target range of Adjusted EBITDA net of NCI applicable to the 2023 PBRSUs (granted in March, 2023), and our actual Adjusted EBITDA net of NCI for the year ended December 31, 2025, were as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Target range for 2023 PBRSUs** | **Target range for 2023 PBRSUs** | **Target range for 2023 PBRSUs** | **Actual** |
|  | **Minimum** | **Target** | **Maximum** | **achieved** |
| Percentage of Target PBRSUs awarded | 50% | 100% | 150% | 150% |
| Adjusted EBITDA net of NCI, as percentage of target | 90% | 100% | 110% | 147% |
| 2025 Adjusted EBITDA net of NCI (in thousands)(b.) | $1583866 | $1759851 | $1935836 | $2590372 |

---

In connection with the 2023 PBRSUs, on March 12, 2026, our Compensation Committee determined that, based upon our 2025 actual operating results, 110% (the maximum) of the target Adjusted EBITDA net of NCI had been exceeded and therefore 150% of the target 2023 PBRSUs were earned and vested for each eligible NEO as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Target** | **Percentage** | **Actual 2023** |
|  | **2023 PBRSUs** | **of target** | **PBRSUs earned** |
|  | **awarded** | **achieved** | **and vested** |
| Marc D. Miller | 42024 | 150% | 63036 |
| Alan B. Miller | 22099 | 150% | 33149 |
| Steve G. Filton | 10696 | 150% | 16044 |
| Edward H. Sim | 10000 | 150% | 15000 |
| Matthew J. Peterson | 8787 | 150% | 13181 |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Our actual Adjusted EBITDA net of NCI for the year ended December 31, 2025 of $2.590 billion was publicly disclosed and reconciled to our reported 2025 net income attributable to UHS (of $1.489 billion) on the Schedule of Non-GAAP Supplemental Information, included with our earnings for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, attached as Exhibit 99.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K furnished with the SEC on February 26, 2026 (which exhibit is not incorporated by reference in, and is not part of, this proxy statement. Annex B contains the reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the financial measurement determined in accordance with GAAP.

*Changes in 2026 PBRSUs:* 

In March 2026, based on information presented by FW Cook, the Compensation Committee decided that, commencing with the grants made on March 26, 2026, the number of PBRSUs earned will be based on the average performance over the three-year measurement period, rather than the performance being measured in the third year of the three-year measurement period. In addition, in order to more closely align with the practice

**Executive Compensation**<br>

of our peer group companies, the payout for achievement of minimum performance (Adjusted EBITDA net of NCI of 90% of target) will remain unchanged at 50% of target, while the payout for achievement of maximum performance (Adjusted EBITDA net of NCI of 110% or greater of target) will increase to 200% of target, from 150% of target previously. No payout will be provided for performance that falls below minimum performance level (90% of target).

*2020 Stock Incentive Plan:* 

The 2020 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan ("2020 Stock Incentive Plan") provides for the issuance of restricted stock, RSUs, PBRSUs, stock appreciation rights, incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options to purchase shares of our Class B Common Stock, including awards of performance-based stock options with premium exercise prices. The 2020 Stock Incentive Plan is intended to provide a flexible vehicle through which we may offer equity-based compensation incentives to our named executive officers and other eligible personnel in support of our compensation objectives. On January 17, 2024, the Board of Directors adopted an amendment of the amended and restated 2020 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan, which was approved by our stockholders at our 2024 Annual Meeting, which among other things increased the number of our Class B Common Stock that may be issued under the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan by 6.0 million (to 18.1 million shares from 12.1 million shares).

Subject to the provisions of the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee has the responsibility and full power and authority to select the persons to whom awards will be made, to prescribe the terms and conditions of each award and make amendments thereto, to construe, interpret and apply the provisions of the Stock Incentive Plan and of any agreement or other instrument evidencing an award and to make any and all determinations and take any and all other actions as it deems necessary or desirable in order to carry out the terms of the Stock Incentive Plan.

*Restricted Stock Units and Restricted Stock*: The 2020 Stock Incentive Plan provides for the grant of restricted units or shares of our Class B Common Stock to eligible personnel for a purchase price equal to par value. Restricted units or shares of our Class B Common Stock can be granted under the 2020 Incentive Plan to our employees or consultants. Generally, our RSU awards vest ratably over four years and our PBRSUs, if the minimum pre-established threshold of Adjusted EBITDA net of NCI is achieved, cliff vest approximately three years from the date of grant. RSUs and PBRSUs awarded under the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan were granted by the Compensation Committee on specific dates that were scheduled in advance, which generally coincided with regularly scheduled meetings of the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors. There is no separate policy with respect to the timing of RSU and PBRSU awards to our NEOs. RSU and PBRSU awards were granted to our NEOs at the same time as RSU awards were granted to our other employees. In certain circumstances, such as new hires or promotions, RSU awards were granted separately by the Compensation Committee or our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer who are duly authorized by the Compensation Committee.

Vesting conditions on units or shares issued under the 2020 Incentive Plan may consist of continuing employment for a specified period of time following the purchase date. Alternatively, or in addition, vesting may be tied to the satisfaction of specific performance objectives established by the Compensation Committee based upon any one or more of the business criteria used in determining the bonuses for our named executive officers, as mentioned above. We have the right to repurchase the shares for the same purchase price (par value) if specified vesting conditions are not met.

*Stock Options*: There were no stock option awards issued during 2025 under the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan. Option awards under the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan, which ceased in 2024, were granted by the Compensation Committee on specific dates that were scheduled in advance, which generally coincided with regularly scheduled meetings of the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors. There was no separate policy with respect

------

**Executive Compensation**<br>

to the timing of option awards to our NEOs. Option awards were granted to our NEOs at the same time as option awards were granted to our other employees. Stock options have such vesting and other terms and conditions as the Compensation Committee, acting in its discretion, may determine. Generally, grants of stock options vest in equal amounts over four years, are scheduled to expire on the fifth anniversary of the date of grant and, unless otherwise determined, employees must be employed by us for such options to vest. The exercise price per share of Class B Common Stock covered by an option shall be any price determined by the Compensation Committee, but may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying Class B Common Stock on the date of grant (other than in the case of substitute awards as defined in the plan). The exercise price of incentive stock options shall not be less than 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant if the optionee owns, directly or indirectly, stock possessing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of our stock. For purposes of the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan, unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, the fair market value of a share of Class B Common Stock as of any given date is the closing sale price per share reported on a consolidated basis for securities listed on the principal stock exchange or market on which the Class B Common Stock is traded on the date as of which such value is being determined or, if there is no sale on that day, then on the next day on which a sale was reported.

*Deferred Compensation* 

Our Deferred Compensation Plan, which is subject to the applicable provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, provides that eligible employees may elect to defer a portion of their base salary and bonus award into deferred compensation accounts that accrue earnings based upon the selection of available investment options. Under the Deferred Compensation Plan, an employee is deemed eligible if their base compensation for 2025 was $160,000 or higher and they are performing duties in a qualified position.

The base compensation threshold is adjusted from time-to-time for cost-of-living increases. Pursuant to the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan, the minimum annual amount that can be deferred is 1% of an employee's base salary. No more than 50% of an employee's base salary or 95% of an employee's annual bonus may be deferred under the Deferred Compensation Plan in any calendar year. Employees may allocate a portion of their deferred compensation to be distributed in a lump sum or installments to begin at retirement or a scheduled distribution date. The available investment options consist of certain mutual funds which include: (i) conservative (e.g. money markets or bonds); (ii) moderately conservative (e.g. balanced funds), and; (iii) aggressive (e.g. domestic and international equity).

Our obligation to make payments of amounts credited to participants' deferred compensation accounts is a general unsecured obligation. In addition, under the Deferred Compensation Plan, we may make discretionary contributions on behalf of an eligible employee. Since inception of the Deferred Compensation Plan, we have not made any discretionary contributions on behalf of employees. One of our named executive officers deferred a portion of his base salary and/or bonus paid during 2025 to the Deferred Compensation Plan. The Compensation Committee believes that, by offering an alternative savings vehicle for our named executive officers, the Deferred Compensation Plan supports our objectives to attract, retain and motivate talented personnel.

For a further description of the Deferred Compensation Plan, please refer to *the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation* table and the narrative discussion included in this Proxy Statement.

*Retirement Benefits* 

Our retirement benefits consist of our Executive Retirement Income Plan, Supplemental Executive Retirement Income Plan and a 401(k) plan. These plans are designed in combination to provide an appropriate level of replacement income upon retirement. The Compensation Committee believes that these retirement benefits

------

**Executive Compensation**<br>

provide a balanced and competitive retirement program and support our objectives to attract, retain and motivate talented personnel.

*Supplemental Executive Retirement Income Plan ("SERIP").* 

In July 2018, the Board of Directors adopted the SERIP. Pursuant to the terms of this plan, a select group of management or other highly compensated employees may be designated as plan participants. Our SERIP, which is subject to the applicable provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, provides eligible employees with annual employer contributions which are entirely at the Company's discretion. Generally, each annual contribution vests on the earlier of: (i) the 5<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the date of funding to the participant's account, or; (ii) the participant attaining the qualified age of retirement (either age 62 or 65, as stipulated in the SERIP). The SERIP also provides for discretionary alternative vesting schedules for certain supplemental discretionary contributions made on an individual basis. Upon attaining the plan's qualified age of retirement, distributions are paid in 10 annual installments to the participant upon retirement. Distributions due to events other than retirement are paid in a lump sum. Our obligation to fund payments to participants' accounts pursuant to the SERIP is a general unsecured obligation. Four of our NEOs are participants in the SERIP.

In 2018, upon commencement of the SERIP, certain participants of the Executive Retirement Income Plan ("ERIP"), who had not yet approached their qualified age of retirement, were given the option to remain in the ERIP or convert their participation into the SERIP. ERIP participants that elected to convert to the SERIP have been provided with an unfunded, lump sum conversion balance that was credited to the participant's SERIP account. The unfunded ERIP conversion balances transferred to the SERIP, which were computed based upon the participant's 2017 salary and will remain permanently unchanged after conversion, are payable over 60 monthly installments, if the participant attains their qualified age of retirement, as previously stipulated in the ERIP. If the participant does not attain their qualified age of retirement, the ERIP conversion balance is forfeited unless the Board of Directors, in its full discretion, determines otherwise. For ERIP participants who elected to convert to the SERIP, their participation in the ERIP was terminated upon conversion and no future benefits will be earned pursuant to the ERIP. SERIP participants who converted from the ERIP are entitled to future benefits pursuant to the terms of the SERIP.

*Executive Retirement Income Plan ("ERIP").* 

In October 1993, the Board of Directors adopted the ERIP, which was subsequently closed to new participants effective January 1, 2015. Pursuant to the terms of the ERIP, certain management or other highly compensated employees, who had been previously designated as plan participants by our Board of Directors prior to December 31, 2014, and who had completed at least 10 years of active employment with us, may receive retirement income benefits.

Subject to certain conditions, the monthly benefit is payable to a participant who retires after he or she reaches age 62 (applicable to participants added to the ERIP before 2008) or age 65 (applicable to participants added to the ERIP after January 1, 2008). The benefit is equal to 3% of the employee's average monthly base salary over the three years preceding retirement multiplied by the number of qualified years (not to exceed 10) of the participant's employment with us. Payment of the benefit will be made in 60 monthly installments following the participant's retirement date. If a participant's employment with us is terminated prior to their qualified age of retirement, no ERIP benefits will be payable unless the Board of Directors, in its full discretion, determines otherwise. In 2018, certain participants were transferred to the SERIP and were provided with an unfunded, lump sum conversion balance pursuant to the SERIP, as discussed above. Approximately four employees, including one of our named executive officers, remain as active participants in the ERIP.

**Executive Compensation**<br>

For a further description of the SERIP and ERIP, please refer to the *Pension Benefits* included in this Proxy Statement.

*401(k) Plan.* 

We maintain a 401(k) plan for all employees, including our named executive officers, as an additional source of retirement income. Pursuant to the 401(k) plan, in 2025, we made matching contributions (subject to highly compensated employee limits set by the Internal Revenue Code) to the 401(k) plan of approximately $88 million. All of the named executive officers participated in the 401(k) plan in 2025. Accordingly, we made matching contributions equal to $10,500 to the 401(k) plan for each of the participating named executives.

*Benefits*

Our named executive officers are eligible to participate in the benefit plans generally available to all of our employees, which include health, dental, life insurance, vision and disability plans, all of which the Compensation Committee believes are commensurate with plans of other similarly situated public companies in the hospital management industry.

*Company Aircraft*. We have a partial ownership interest in a fixed wing aircraft that is available for business purpose use by members of our management team, including our named executive officers, and for personal use by Messrs. Marc Miller and Alan Miller. In certain circumstances, when the aircraft is utilized for personal purposes by either individual and/or their family members, the incremental costs incurred, including the regular hourly charges, variable fuel charges and associated fees and taxes, are directly reimbursed to us by Messrs. Marc Miller and/or Alan Miller and therefore no imputed amounts are included in the *Summary Compensation Table*.

*Automobile.* In 2024, we purchased a new vehicle utilized by Mr. Marc D. Miller, and simultaneously, his previous auto allowance was discontinued. Included in the *Summary Compensation Table* in "All other compensation" are the amounts related to his personal use of the vehicle purchased by us during 2024 and his previous auto allowance.

During 2023, we purchased a new vehicle utilized by Mr. Alan B. Miller, which replaced a similar vehicle purchased by us in 2019. Included in the *Summary Compensation Table* in "All other compensation" are the amounts related to his personal use of the vehicles.

*Reimbursement of Relocation Expenses*. In the normal course of business, in an effort to satisfy our staffing needs with high-quality personnel and/or support the career development of an employee by enabling them to assume a position of broader scope and complexity, we may need to place an executive in a position in a geographic location which differs from that in which the individual resides. The relocation benefits for our executives are patterned on standard industry practices and are competitive in design. The provisions for relocation benefits are the same for several of the top layers of management and consistently administered. Included in the relocation benefits are reimbursements or direct payment to vendors for expenses that include items like a short duration house hunting trip, movement of household goods and personal items, short duration of interim living expenses and certain closing costs for the sale and purchase of a house. Relocation reimbursement that is taxable to the individual is typically grossed-up to cover the resulting incremental income tax expense.

*Other Perquisites*. From time to time, we make tickets to cultural and sporting events available to our employees, including our named executive officers, for business purposes. If not utilized for business purposes, the tickets are made available to our employees, including our named executive officers, for personal use.

**Executive Compensation**<br>

*Split-Dollar Life Insurance Agreements*. In December 2010, our Board of Directors approved the Company's entering into supplemental life insurance plans and agreements on the lives of our Executive Chairman and his wife. As a result of these agreements, as amended in October 2016, based on actuarial tables and other assumptions, during the life expectancies of the insureds, we would pay approximately $28 million in premiums, and certain trusts owned by our Executive Chairman, would pay approximately $9 million in premiums. Based on the projected premiums mentioned above, and assuming the policies remain in effect until the death of the insureds, we will be entitled to receive death benefit proceeds of no less than approximately $37 million representing the $28 million of aggregate premiums paid by us as well as the $9 million of aggregate premiums paid by the trusts. In connection with these policies, we paid approximately $1.0 million, net, in premium payments during each of 2025 and 2024.

The Compensation Committee has determined to offer the above-described fringe benefits and perquisites in order to attract and retain our named executive officers by offering compensation opportunities that are competitive. In determining the total compensation payable to our named executive officers, for a given fiscal year, the Compensation Committee considers such fringe benefits and perquisites. However, with the exception of the above-mentioned split dollar life insurance agreements related to Mr. Alan B. Miller, given the fact that such other fringe benefits and perquisites, which are available to our named executive officers, represent a relatively insignificant portion of their total compensation, they do not materially influence the decisions made by the Compensation Committee with respect to other elements of each individual's total compensation. For a further description of the fringe benefits and perquisites received by our named executive officers during 2025, please refer to the *All Other Compensation* table included in this Proxy Statement.

*Policy on Hedging Transactions:* The Company has a policy that prohibits employees and directors from engaging in any hedging transaction that would result in lack of exposure to the full risks of stock ownership. Prohibited hedging transactions include, but are not limited to, collars, forward sale contracts, trading in publicly-traded options, puts, calls or other derivative instruments related to our common stock or debt.

*Clawbacks:* In October, 2023, the Company adopted a clawback policy to align with listing rules adopted by NYSE as required by the SEC. The policy applies to all executive officers (as defined under the applicable rules) and requires the Company to seek to recoup certain incentive-based compensation, whether cash or equity-based, from current or former officers and in the event that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)In March, 2025, and March, 2024, our CEO and other NEOs each received their annual target stock-based compensation awards in the form of performance-based RSUs and time-based RSUs. The March, 2025 values represent 100% of the target, with a grant date value of $178.08 per unit. The March, 2024 values represent 100% of the target, with a grant date value of $180.77 per unit. The performance-based RSUs for our CEO and other NEOs will be based upon achievement of a pre-established specified range of target levels based on the three-year growth in our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and the impacts of other income/expenses and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. The time-based RSUs granted to our CEO and other NEOs are scheduled to vest in four equal installments on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)In March, 2023, our CEO and other NEOs with the exception of Mr. Edward H. Sim, each received 50% of their annual target stock-based compensation awards in the form of options to purchase shares of our Class B Common Stock at the grant date market value. Amounts in 2023 represent the aggregate fair value of options granted at the market price on the date of grant (grant date fair value of $41.47). In connection with Mr. Sim's commencement of employment in December, 2022, he was awarded options to purchase shares of our Class B Common Stock in January, 2023, at the grant date market value. Mr. Sim's amount in 2023 represents the aggregate fair value of options granted on the market price on the date of grant (grant date fair value of $51.57). Options granted during 2023 were awarded pursuant to our 2020 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan. There were no options granted to our CEO and other NEOs during 2024 or 2025, as discussed above in Equity Grant Practices and Annual Stock-Based Compensation. For the assumptions used for the fair value valuations, please refer to Note 5—Common Stock, to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)Reflects the dollar value of annual bonuses earned during each of the last three years pursuant to the terms of our Executive Incentive Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)Pursuant to the 2022 Executive Incentive Plan and the formula approved by the Compensation Committee, in 2025 each named executive officer other than Mr. Alan B. Miller was entitled to receive between 0% and 200% of that executive officer's target bonus based, either entirely or in part, on our achievement of certain corporate and divisional performance criteria. As discussed in the *Compensation Discussion and Analysis,* with respect to Messrs. Marc D. Miller and Steve G. Filton, 100% of their 2025 annual incentive bonus was determined using certain corporate performance criteria, and with respect to each of Messrs. Sim and Peterson, their 2025 annual incentive bonus was determined utilizing: (i) 25% of their annual salary based upon the achievement of certain corporate performance criteria, and; (ii) 75% of their annual salary based upon the achievement of certain divisional income targets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)Estimates calculated based upon 2025 salaries.

Pursuant to the formula approved by the Compensation Committee, each named executive officer was entitled to receive between 50% and 150% of that executive officer's target stock-based compensation in the form of performance-based restricted stock units. The performance-based RSUs are earned based upon achievement of the three-year growth in our adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and the impacts of other income/expenses, as compared to a target range of pre-established thresholds.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5)Time-based restricted stock units issued under the Company's 2020 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6)There were no stock option awards issued during 2025 to our CEO and other NEOs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7)Represents the aggregate grant date fair value for the performance-based RSUs (at target) and time-based RSUs, based upon the closing market price on the date of grant.

**PENSION BENEFITS** 

**Executive Retirement Income Plan** 

In 1993, the Board of Directors adopted the Executive Retirement Income Plan ("ERIP"), which was subsequently closed to new participants effective January 1, 2015. Pursuant to the terms of the ERIP, certain management or other highly compensated employees, who had been previously designated as plan participants by our Board of Directors prior to December 31, 2014, and who had completed at least 10 years of active employment with us, were eligible to receive retirement income benefits.

Subject to certain conditions, the monthly ERIP benefit is payable to a participant who retires after he or she reaches age 62 (applicable to participants added to the plan before 2008) or age 65 (applicable to participants added to the plan after January 1, 2008). The benefit is equal to 3% of the employee's average monthly base salary over the three years preceding retirement multiplied by the number of qualified years (not to exceed 10) of the participant's employment with us.

Upon attaining the qualified age of retirement as stipulated in the plan, subject to certain conditions, payment of ERIP benefits are made to participants in 60 monthly installments following their retirement date. In certain circumstances, the participant may elect to receive the present value of the payments in one lump sum or receive payments over a period of 10 years.

In 2018, upon commencement of the Supplemental Executive Retirement Income Plan ("SERIP"), as discussed below, certain participants of the ERIP, who had not yet approached their qualified age of retirement, were given the option to remain in the ERIP or convert their participation into the SERIP. Please see S*upplemental Executive Retirement Income Plan* below for additional disclosure related to participants who elected to convert from the ERIP to the SERIP.

Mr. Alan B. Miller remains a participant in the ERIP. Mr. Alan B. Miller's aggregate benefit payable under the ERIP (for the 60 months in which the participant receives benefits), assuming retirement as of December 31, 2025, amounted to approximately $2.3 million. Pursuant to Alan B. Miller's employment contract with UHS of Delaware dated March 19, 2025, for purposes of the ERIP, the monthly compensation for the three years preceding retirement shall be deemed to be the average monthly compensation for the three years ended immediately prior to January 1, 2021. As discussed below, Marc D. Miller and Steve G. Filton converted their ERIP participation into the SERIP. Edward H. Sim and Matthew J. Peterson were not previously an ERIP participants.

The following tables provide information about pension benefits pursuant to our ERIP for our named executive officer, as described below.

**Supplemental Executive Retirement Income Plan** 

In July, 2018, the Board of Directors adopted the Supplemental Executive Retirement Income Plan ("SERIP"). Pursuant to the terms of the SERIP, a select group of management or other highly compensated employees may be designated as plan participants. Our SERIP, which is subject to the applicable provisions of Internal

**Pension Benefits**<br>

Revenue Code Section 409A, provides eligible employees with annual employer contributions which are entirely at the Company's discretion. Generally, each annual contribution vests on the earlier of: (i) the 5<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the date of funding to the participant's account, or; (ii) the participant attaining the qualified age of retirement (either age 62 or age 65, as stipulated in the SERIP). The SERIP also provides for discretionary alternative vesting schedules for certain supplemental discretionary contributions made on an individual basis. Upon attaining the SERIP's qualified age of retirement, distributions are paid in 10 annual installments to the participant upon the participants retirement. Distributions due to events other than retirement are paid in a lump sum. Our obligation to make payments of amounts credited to participants' accounts is a general unsecured obligation.

As discussed above, a select group of employees who were previously participants in the ERIP and elected to convert to the SERIP, have been provided with an unfunded, lump sum conversion balance that was credited to the participant's SERIP account. The unfunded ERIP conversion balances transferred to the SERIP, which were computed based upon the participant's 2017 salary and will remain permanently unchanged after conversion, are payable over 60 monthly installments, if the participant attains their qualified age of retirement, as previously stipulated in the ERIP. If the participant does not attain their qualified age of retirement, the ERIP conversion balance is forfeited unless the Board of Directors, in its full discretion, determined otherwise. For ERIP participants who elected to convert to the SERIP, their participation in the ERIP was terminated upon conversion and no future benefits will be earned pursuant to the ERIP. SERIP participants who converted from the ERIP are entitled to future benefits pursuant to the terms of the SERIP.

Marc D. Miller and Steve G. Filton elected to convert their ERIP participation into the SERIP. As a result of their elections, their unfunded ERIP conversion balances, which are reflected below and were computed based upon their 2017 salaries, will remain permanently unchanged. As of December 31, 2025, Mr. Marc Miller's ERIP conversion balance was unvested while Mr. Filton's ERIP conversion balance was fully vested. Mr. Sim and Mr. Peterson participate in the SERIP and were not previously ERIP participants.

**NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION Plan** 

Our Deferred Compensation Plan, which is subject to the applicable provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A provides that eligible employees may elect to defer a portion of their base salary and bonus award into investment options in lieu of receiving cash. Under the Deferred Compensation Plan, an employee is deemed eligible if their base compensation for 2025 was $160,000 or higher and they are performing duties in a qualified position. The base compensation threshold is adjusted annually for cost-of-living increases.

Pursuant to the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan, the minimum annual amount that can be deferred is 1% of an employee's base salary. No more than 50% of an employee's base salary or 95% of an employee's annual bonus may be deferred under the Deferred Compensation Plan in any calendar year. Employees may allocate a portion of their deferred compensation to be distributed in a lump sum or installments to begin at retirement or a scheduled distribution date. The available investment options consist of certain mutual funds which include: (i) conservative (e.g. money markets or bonds); (ii) moderately conservative (e.g. balanced funds), and; (iii) aggressive (e.g. domestic and international equity). Our obligation to make payments of amounts credited to participants' deferred compensation accounts is a general unsecured obligation. In addition, under the Deferred Compensation Plan, we may make discretionary contributions on behalf of an eligible employee. Since inception of the Deferred Compensation Plan, we have not made any discretionary contributions on behalf of employees.

Our obligations under the Deferred Compensation Plan in connection with an employee's retirement account are payable, beginning at retirement at age 55 and 10 years of service for deferrals made prior to January 1, 2016, and age 55 and 5 years of service for deferrals made on or after January 1, 2016, in equal installments over a ten year period; except that an employee may make a distribution election to receive the balance of the participant's retirement account in either a single lump sum or equal annual or less frequent installments over a period not to exceed ten years. For deferrals made on or after January 1, 2016, an employee may elect to defer the retirement distribution to begin one year following retirement. An employee or designated beneficiary will receive a lump sum as a result of death, disability, or termination, other than for retirement. An employee may change his distribution elections by making new distribution elections at least 12 months prior to the date on which such payment was otherwise scheduled to be made and must be delayed until a date that is at least five years after the date the distribution was previously scheduled to begin.

Our obligations under the Deferred Compensation Plan in connection with an employee's scheduled distribution are payable in a lump sum or installments of two to ten years, commencing on the date indicated by the employee. If the employee's employment is terminated prior to the distribution of obligations in accordance with a scheduled distribution then the amounts credited to such accounts will be transferred to the employee's retirement account and distributed in accordance with the employee's distribution election for that account.

If an employee experiences a financial hardship that is the result of an "unforeseeable emergency," as defined under the Deferred Compensation Plan, he or she may apply to the administrator of the Deferred Compensation Plan for an emergency withdrawal against his or her accounts. Such an emergency withdrawal may be allowed at the discretion of the administrator, in which case the employee's account will be reduced accordingly.

The following table provides information about our Deferred Compensation Plan for our named executive officers.

**POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE-IN-CONTROL** 

**Potential Payments Upon Termination** 

*Marc D. Miller Employment Agreement:* 

On December 30, 2025, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours entered into an amended and restated employment agreement ("MDM Amended Employment Agreement"). The MDM Amended Employment Agreement provides for the employment of Mr. Marc Miller as Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") for an initial term ending on January 1, 2029, subject to earlier termination in accordance with its terms, and subject to automatic annual renewal for additional one-year periods unless either party elects to terminate Mr. Marc Miller's employment at the end of the initial term or at the end of the renewal term by giving one year's advance written notice of such termination. At all times during the term of employment, Mr. Marc Miller shall be nominated to serve as a member of the Board of Directors. This MDM Amended Employment Agreement is substantially the same (other than the extension of the initial term) as, and supersedes, Marc D. Miller's previous employment agreement dated as March 19, 2025.

In general, Mr. Marc Miller's long-term stock-based incentives awards granted during or before employment as CEO will become fully vested upon termination of his employment as CEO at the time such employment ends, other than by us for "cause" or voluntarily by Mr. Marc Miller before or at the end of the applicable term (under circumstances not involving a breach of the MDM Amended Employment Agreement by us).

If Mr. Marc Miller's employment is terminated for "cause", as defined in the MDM Amended Employment Agreement, he will be entitled to any benefits payable to or earned by Mr. Marc Miller with respect to any period of his employment or other service prior to the date of such discharge. If Mr. Marc Miller's employment is terminated due to his disability, Mr. Marc Miller shall be paid a pro rata portion of the annual bonus which would otherwise have been payable for the year in which his employment terminates, plus an amount equal to one-half of Mr. Marc Miller's base salary, payable in twelve equal monthly installments.

If Mr. Marc Miller's employment or service terminates due to his death, Mr. Marc Miller's beneficiary shall receive any salary and reimbursements that would otherwise have been payable to Mr. Marc Miller as of the date of his death, in addition to a pro rata portion of the annual bonus which would otherwise have been payable for the year of his death. Mr. Marc Miller's beneficiary shall also receive any life insurance benefits under insurance policies maintained on Mr. Marc Miller's life by us and for which Mr. Marc Miller had the right to designate the beneficiary.

If Mr. Marc Miller terminates his employment or other service under the MDM Amended Employment Agreement because of a material change in the duties of his office or any other breach by us of our obligations, or in the event of the termination of Mr. Marc Miller's employment by us without cause or otherwise in breach of the MDM Amended Employment Agreement, subject to the terms of the MDM Amended Employment Agreement, Mr. Marc Miller will generally continue to receive, for the remainder of his employment term, all of the cash compensation, long-term equity incentive compensation and other benefits as if his employment or service had not terminated, and the vesting of his long-term incentive plan awards will accelerate. We may condition Mr. Marc Miller's right to receive any severance benefits on his execution of a general release in favor of us.

The following table provides quantitative disclosure of the estimated payments that would be made to Mr. Marc Miller under his employment agreement as of December 31, 2025, the last business day of our fiscal 2025:

*Alan B. Miller Employment Agreement:* 

On March 19, 2025 our management subsidiary entered into a new employment agreement with Alan B. Miller guaranteed by the Company ("New Employment Agreement"), pursuant to which Mr. Alan Miller's continuing service with the Company shall be on the terms and conditions that are substantially the same as in the Alan B. Miller's previous amended and restated employment agreement with the Company dated as of January 1, 2021. The New Employment Agreement supersedes the January 1, 2021 employment agreement. The New Employment Agreement became effective on March 19, 2025 and contemplates that Mr. Alan Miller will be employed as Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company and provides for automatic annual renewals unless either party elects otherwise at least one year in advance.

In general, Mr. Alan Miller's long-term stock-based incentives awards granted during or before employment as Executive Chairman will become fully vested upon termination of his employment as Executive Chairman at the time such employment ends, other than by us for "cause" or voluntarily by Mr. Alan Miller before or at the end of the applicable term (under circumstances not involving a breach of the New Employment Agreement by us).

If Mr. Alan Miller's employment is terminated for "cause", as defined in the New Employment Agreement, he will be entitled to any benefits payable to or earned by Mr. Alan Miller with respect to any period of his employment or other service prior to the date of such discharge.

If Mr. Alan Miller's employment is terminated due to his disability, Mr. Alan Miller shall be paid an amount equal to one-half of Mr. Alan Miller's base salary, payable in twelve equal monthly installments. Additionally, Mr. Alan Miller would be entitled to the accelerated vesting of his unvested long-term stock-based incentive awards granted during or before employment as Executive Chairman.

**Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control**<br>

**Other Executive Officers** 

In addition, in the event of an involuntary termination of their respective employment by the Company without cause, Messrs. Peterson and Sim are each entitled to receive salary continuation for 12 months. Messrs. Peterson and Sim are also entitled to reimbursement of a portion of their COBRA premium for 12 months. Assuming such an involuntary termination of their respective employment had occurred as of December 31, 2025, Messrs. Peterson and Sim would be entitled to receive aggregate cash severance payments of $759,283 and $845,816, respectively, and Messrs. Peterson and Sim would have been entitled to the reimbursement of a portion of their COBRA premium aggregating to $23,578 and $25,254, respectively.

**Potential Payments upon a Change of Control** 

Pursuant to our 2020 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan, (as of December 31, 2025, all unvested awards of our named executive officers were granted under this plan), all of our employees receive full acceleration of the vesting of any unvested award in the event that such awards are not assumed or substituted by the surviving or acquiring company following a change of control of the Company.

The intrinsic value of our named executive officers' stock options for which vesting would have accelerated assuming a change in control of the Company in which equity awards are not assumed or substituted had occurred as of December 31, 2025, is approximately as follows: Marc D. Miller: $7.9 million; Alan B. Miller: $4.2 million; Steve G. Filton: $2.0 million; Matthew J. Peterson: $1.7 million and Edward H. Sim: $1.8 million.

Additionally, the intrinsic value of our named executive officers' performance based and time based restricted stock units for which vesting would have accelerated assuming a change in control of the Company in which equity awards are not assumed or substituted had occurred as of December 31, 2025 is approximately as follows: Marc D. Miller: $35.9 million; Alan B. Miller: $18.6 million; Steve G. Filton: $9.0 million; Matthew J. Peterson: $7.4 million, and; Edward H. Sim: $8.4 million.

Such intrinsic values of the accelerated stock options and accelerated restricted stock units were calculated based upon the closing price per share of our common stock on December 31, 2025 of $218.02 as reported on the NYSE. Amounts reflected assume vesting of the 2023 PBRSUs at 150% of the target awards, as discussed herein. Vesting acceleration of stock option awards and restricted stock unit awards, if such equity awards are not assumed or substituted, is the only benefit provided to our named executive officers in the event of a change of control. In the event of a termination of employment following a change in control of the Company, the named executive officers may be entitled to payments and benefits as described above under *"Potential Payments Upon Termination"*.

**CEO Pay Ratio** 

As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act"), and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our employees and the annual total compensation of Mr. Marc D. Miller, the current Chief Executive Officer and President.

As is permitted under the SEC rules, we reasonably determined our median employee by using the greater of total annual W-2 wages of employees both in the U.S. and the U.K. who were employed as of December 31, 2025 (excluding Mr. Marc Miller) or calculated annualized pay for those who commenced work during 2025 or were on a leave of absence. The employee population consisted of our full-time, part-time and temporary employees. The inclusion of part-time and temporary employees reduces the median of the annual total compensation for the overall group of our employees. Due to the amount of turnover and job status changes that

| **Universal Health Services, Inc. 2026 Proxy Statement** |

---

------

**Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control**<br>

exist in the healthcare industry, we recalculated the median employee in 2025 and determined that person's total compensation was $57,048. The ratio of CEO pay to median worker pay is 283:1.

The SEC rules for identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee's annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their compensation practices. As such, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other companies may have different employment and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)SEC rules require certain adjustment be made to the Summary Compensation Table ("SCT") totals to determine "Compensation Actually Paid" ("CAP") as reported in the Pay Versus Performance Table. CAP does not necessarily represent cash and/or equity value transferred to the applicable NEO without restriction, but rather is a value calculated under applicable SEC rules. In general, CAP is calculated as the total compensation from the SCT, adjusted to include, among other things, the fair market value of equity awards as of December 31 of the applicable year or, if earlier, the vesting date (rather than the grant date). No adjustment is made for dividends or other earnings, since dividends are factored into the fair value of the award.

The following tables detail these adjustments:

(3)Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") is determined based upon the value of an initial fixed investment of $100.

**Pay Versus Performance Table**<br>

Healthcare, Inc., and Tenet Healthcare Corporation. Each year reflects the cumulative total return assuming $100 invested on December 31, 2020 in our common stock and in the our peer group, including subsequent reinvestment of dividends.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4)Adjusted earnings per share, diluted, was selected by the Company as the Company-Selected Measure ("CSM"). It is a non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") financial measure. A reconciliation of adjusted earnings per share, diluted, to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is included in the Company's Form 8-K furnished with the SEC on February 26, 2026.

Changes in pension values for each of the named executives in 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021 pursuant to the Executive Retirement Income Plan or the Supplemental Executive Retirement Income Plan, as described herein, are considered service costs. No equity awards of the named executives were granted and vest in the same year for 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021.

**Measures that were most important to the last fiscal year** 

The following performance measures reflect the Company's most important performance measures in effect for 2025, as further described and defined in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted earnings per share, diluted

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Income before income taxes for each of the acute care and behavioral health division

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Return on capital

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and the impacts of other income/expense and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests ("Adjusted EBITDA net of NCI")

As described in our "Compensation Discussion and Analysis", the Compensation Committee bases the compensation decisions with respect to the named executive officers on an evaluation of one or more of objective business criteria, including the performance measures listed above. The importance of adjusted earnings per share, diluted, and return on capital is reflected in our use of these measures when setting performance standards applicable to the annual incentive compensation for our named executive officers pursuant to the 2022 Executive Incentive Plan. Performance-based restricted stock units awarded to each of our named executive officers will be earned based upon the achievement of a pre-established specified range of target levels based on the three-year growth in our Adjusted EBITDA net of NCI. Our compensation philosophy of aligning pay strongly with performance is grounded in best practices that are regulatory compliant, financially sound and provide long-term value to stockholders.

**Analysis of the Information Presented in the Pay Versus Performance Table** 

The following charts show the relationship between the Company's cumulative five-year TSR and that of the industry line peer group reflected in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K pursuant to Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K, as well as the relationships between CAP and the required financial performance measures in the Pay Versus Performance table above – Company TSR, net income and the Company-selected measure of adjusted earnings per share, diluted.

**CORPORATE GOVERNANCE** 

**Director Independence** 

Our Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that four of its seven current members (Nina Chen-Langenmayr, Eileen C. McDonnell, Maria R. Singer and Elliot J. Sussman, M.D.) are independent directors under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange listing standards.

In determining independence, the Board of Directors affirmatively determines each year whether directors have any material relationship with us. When assessing the materiality of a director's relationship with us, the Board of Directors considers all relevant facts and circumstances, not merely from the director's standpoint, but also from the standpoint of the persons or organizations with which the director has an affiliation. Material relationships can include commercial, banking, industrial, consulting, legal, accounting, charitable and familial relationships. The Board of Directors has concluded that no material relationship exists between us and any of our independent directors, other than each such person's position as one of our directors.

We are eligible to be treated as a controlled company under New York Stock Exchange Rule 303A due to the fact that the family of Alan B. Miller holds more than 95% of the shares of Class A and Class C Common Stock, which is entitled to elect 80% of the entire Board of Directors and constitutes more than 50% of our aggregate voting power. New York Stock Exchange Rule 303A states that a controlled company need not have a majority of independent directors on its board or have nominating/corporate governance and compensation committees composed entirely of independent directors. We have elected to avail ourselves of a limited aspect of the Rule 303A exemption, determining that the Nominating & Governance Committee is not responsible for identifying and recommending qualified candidates for Board positions that, in accordance with our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, are to be elected by the holders of Class A and Class C Common Stock of the Company. We currently intend to have a majority of independent directors on our Board of Directors and all independent directors on our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating & Governance Committee.

**Meetings of the Board of Directors** 

Regular meetings of the Board of Directors are generally held every other month, while special meetings are called when necessary. Before each Board of Directors or committee meeting, directors are furnished with an agenda and background materials relating to matters to be discussed. During 2025, there were six regular and two special meetings of the Board of Directors. All or substantially all directors participated in each of the meetings of the Board of Directors and all or substantially all of the meetings held by the respective committees on which they served, if applicable. Directors are expected to attend the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. All of our directors attended the virtual 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the Board of Directors shall hold, in accordance with a schedule determined by the Nominating & Governance Committee of the Board of Directors, executive sessions where non-management directors (i.e., directors who are not our officers, but who do not otherwise have to qualify as "independent directors") meet without management participation (except as otherwise specifically requested by the non-management directors). Interested parties may communicate directly and confidentially with the presiding director or with the non-management directors of the Board of Directors as a group by writing to that person or group at Universal Health Services, Inc., c/o Secretary, Universal Corporate Center, 367 South Gulph Road, P.O. Box 61558, King of Prussia, PA 19406.

**Board Leadership Structure and Board of Directors** 

Mr. Alan B. Miller serves as Executive Chairman of the Board. Eileen C. McDonnell serves as the Lead Independent Director and presides over the executive sessions of the non-management directors. The Company believes this structure allows all of the non-management directors to participate in the full range of the Board's responsibilities with respect to its oversight of the Company's management.

The Board holds six regular meetings each year to consider and address matters involving the Company. The Board also may hold special meetings to address matters arising between regular meetings. These meetings may take place in person or by telephone. The independent directors also regularly meet in executive sessions outside the presence of management. The Board has access to legal counsel for consultation concerning any issues that may occur during or between regularly scheduled Board meetings. As discussed below, to assist the Board in performing its oversight responsibilities, the Board has established a Compensation Committee, an Audit Committee, a Nominating & Governance Committee, a Quality and Compliance Committee, an Executive Committee and a Finance Committee.

The Nominating & Governance Committee annually oversees a self-evaluation of the current Board members and those committees as the Board shall specify from time to time and reports to the Board with respect to whether the Board and its committees are functioning effectively. The full Board discusses each evaluation report to determine what, if any, actions should be taken to improve the effectiveness of the Board or any committee thereof.

**The Board's Role in Risk Oversight** 

Consistent with its responsibility for oversight of the Company, the Board, among other things, oversees risk management of the Company's business affairs directly and through the committee structure that it has established. The principal risks associated with the Company are risks related to concentration of the locations of our facilities, dependence on payments from the government and other third party payers, including potential changes resulting from the 2024 elections such as legislation to significantly reduce federal Medicaid funding, increased reliance on Medicare Advantage Programs, work requirements for Medicaid waiver program eligibility, increased focus on hospital outpatient site neutral payment policies, and similar initiatives that may reduce the availability of funding for federal healthcare programs or make eligibility for benefits more difficult; cyber security, a worsening of the economic and employment conditions in the United States, the inability to collect payments

from patients, competition for patients from other hospitals and health care providers, our ability to recruit and retain quality physicians, our ability to attract and retain qualified nurses and medical support staff, compliance with extensive laws and government regulations, liabilities from claims brought against our facilities, governmental investigations, regulatory actions, whistleblower lawsuits and purported stockholder class action lawsuits, accreditation of our facilities, acquisition and integration of hospitals, state efforts to regulate the construction or expansion of health care facilities, fluctuations in our operating results, quarter to quarter earnings and other factors, significant corporate regulation as a public company, and dependence on key management personnel.

The Board's role in the Company's risk oversight process includes regular reports from senior management on areas of material risk to the Company, including operational, financial, legal and regulatory, and strategic and reputational risks. The full Board (or the appropriate committee) receives these reports from management to identify and discuss such risks.

The Board periodically reviews with management its strategies, techniques, policies and procedures designed to manage these risks. Under the overall supervision of the Board, management has implemented a variety of processes, procedures and controls to address these risks.

The Board requires management to report to the full Board on a variety of matters at regular meetings of the Board and on an as-needed basis, including the performance and operations of the Company and other matters relating to risk management. The Audit Committee also receives regular reports from the Company's independent registered public accounting firm on internal control and financial reporting matters. These reviews are conducted in conjunction with the Board's risk oversight function and enable the Board to review and assess any material risks facing the Company. Eileen C. McDonnell, the Lead Independent Director, periodically meets with management and the Company's independent registered public accounting firm to review and discuss the activities of the Company and to provide direction with respect thereto.

**Policy on Hedging Transactions** 

The Company has a policy that prohibits employees and directors from engaging in any hedging transaction that would result in lack of exposure to the full risks of stock ownership. Prohibited hedging transactions include, but are not limited to, collars, forward sale contracts, trading in publicly-traded options, puts, calls or other derivative instruments related to our common stock or debt.

**Policy on Insider Trading** 

The Company has a policy governing the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of our securities by our directors, officers, employees and related persons, and repurchases by the Company, that we believe is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and the exchange listing standards applicable to us. A copy of this policy was filed as Exhibit 19 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

**Stockholder Communications** 

Stockholders who wish to send communications to the Board of Directors or an individual director should address such communications to Universal Health Services, Inc., c/o Secretary, Universal Corporate Center, 367 South Gulph Road, P.O. Box 61558, King of Prussia, PA 19406. The Secretary will forward such communications to the Board of Directors or the specified individual director to whom the communication is directed unless such communication is unduly hostile, threatening, illegal or similarly inappropriate, in which case the Secretary has the authority to discard the communication or take appropriate legal action regarding such communication.

**Committees of the Board of Directors** 

The Compensation Committee, the Audit Committee, the Nominating & Governance Committee, the Quality and Compliance Committee, the Executive Committee and the Finance Committee are the standing committees of the Board of Directors. A current copy of our Corporate Governance Guidelines, Code of Business Conduct and Corporate Standards, Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers, Code of Conduct and Ethics, Compensation Committee Charter, Nominating & Governance Committee Charter and Audit Committee Charter are available free of charge on our website at http://uhs.com. Copies of these documents also are available in print free of charge to any stockholder who requests them. We intend to satisfy the disclosure requirements under Item 5.05 of Form 8-K relating to amendments to or waivers of any provision of our Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers by promptly posting the information on our website.

***Audit Committee:*** Current members of the Audit Committee are Eileen C. McDonnell (Chairperson), Maria R. Singer and Elliot J. Sussman, M.D. No such member serves on the audit committee of more than three public companies. The Audit Committee met nine times during 2025.

The Board of Directors has determined, in its business judgment, that each member of the Audit Committee qualifies as an "independent" director under the regulations adopted by the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange and is financially literate and that Eileen C. McDonnell qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" under SEC regulations and has accounting or related financial management expertise.

The Audit Committee provides assistance to the Board of Directors in fulfilling its financial, compliance and quality oversight responsibility to the stockholders, potential stockholders, the investment community and others relating to the integrity of our financial statements, the financial reporting process, the systems of internal accounting and financial controls, the performance of our internal audit function and independent auditors, the independent auditors' qualifications and independence and our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and quality of care standards. This Committee has the authority, duties and responsibilities set forth in its Audit Committee Charter, as amended. The Audit Committee periodically reviews our data security programs, including cyber security and procedures regarding disaster recovery and critical business continuity, and reviews our programs and plans that management has established with data security compliance programs and test preparedness.

***Compensation Committee:*** Current members of the Compensation Committee are Eileen C. McDonnell (Chairperson), Elliot J. Sussman, M.D. and Nina Chen-Langenmayr. The Compensation Committee met four times during 2025. The Board of Directors has determined, in its business judgment, that each member of the Compensation Committee qualifies as an "independent" director under the regulations adopted by the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange.

The Compensation Committee reviews and approves our goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers, evaluates their performance, determines and approves their compensation level, reviews and determines the form and amount of compensation of the non-management members of the Board of Directors, administers incentive-compensation plans and equity-based plans and approves compensation awards, among other duties and responsibilities.

The amount and mix of the compensation paid to our named executive officers and directors are evaluated on an annual basis. See the section titled "Compensation Setting Process," in the *Compensation Discussion & Analysis* for an additional discussion.

The Compensation Committee has the authority to establish one or more subcommittees that shall have the responsibilities and consist of those members of the Compensation Committee as the Compensation Committee may determine from time to time. The Compensation Committee also has the sole authority to retain and terminate compensation consultants to assist it in evaluating our compensation plans, particularly those

pertaining to our directors, our Executive Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and our other executive officers, and to approve the fees and other terms relating to the provision of those services. As discussed in the *Compensation Discussion and Analysis*, certain elements of Messrs. Alan Miller's and Marc. Miller's compensation is determined by the terms of their employment agreements.

***Nominating & Governance Committee:*** The current members of the Nominating & Governance Committee are Elliot J. Sussman, M.D., (Chairman), Eileen C. McDonnell and Maria R. Singer. This Committee met once during 2025. The Board of Directors has determined, in its business judgment, that each member of the Nominating & Governance Committee qualifies as an "independent" director under the regulations adopted by the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange.

The Nominating & Governance Committee was established, with respect to those directors who are to be elected by the holders of Class B and Class D Common Stock of the Company in accordance with the our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, for the purpose of: (i) assisting the Board of Directors by identifying individuals who are qualified to become directors, consistent with the criteria approved by the Board of Directors; (ii) recommending to the Board of Directors Class B and D director nominees for the next annual meeting of stockholders at which a Class B and D director is to be elected; (iii) developing and recommending to the Board of Directors a set of corporate governance principals in the form of our corporate governance guidelines; (iv) leading and overseeing the Board of Directors in its annual review of the performance of the Board of Directors and our management, and; (v) recommending to the Board of Directors director nominees for each committee of the Board of Directors. The Nominating & Governance Committee provides such assistance in identifying and recommending Class A and Class C Common Stock director nominees as may be requested by the entire Board of Directors. The Nominating & Governance Committee adopted our Corporate Governance Guidelines.

In light of the concentration of approximately 90% of the voting power of our Class A and Class C Common Stock in a single individual and related entities, and in accordance with the "Controlled Companies" exemption set forth in Section 303A of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual, the Nominating & Governance Committee is not responsible for identifying and recommending qualified candidates for directors that, in accordance with our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, are to be elected by the holders of Class A and Class C Common Stock. The Nominating & Governance Committee shall, however, provide such assistance in identifying and recommending Class A and C Director nominees as may be requested by the entire Board of Directors.

The Nominating & Governance Committee will consider Class B and D director nominees recommended by stockholders. Under our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the number of directors to be elected by the Class B and D Common stockholders is limited to 20% of the entire Board of Directors, or a maximum of two directors. Stockholders who wish to recommend a nominee for the Nominating & Governance Committee's consideration may do so by submitting the individual's name and qualifications to the Nominating & Governance Committee c/o Secretary, Universal Corporate Center, 367 South Gulph Road, P.O. Box 61558, King of Prussia, PA 19406. Recommendations must be received by the Nominating & Governance Committee no later than the date by which stockholder proposals for presentation at the next Annual Meeting must be received and should include the information required by our Amended and Restated Bylaws and any other information regarding the director nomination required by the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including Rule 14a-19 of the Exchange Act. Please see the Questions and Answers section of this Proxy Statement. Recommended nominees will only be considered if there is a vacancy or if the Board of Directors decides to increase the number of directors.

**Corporate Governance**<br>

The Nominating & Governance Committee identifies and evaluates committee-recommended Class B and D director nominees considering, among other factors, the following minimum qualifications: the individual's integrity, experience, education, expertise, independence and any other factors that the Board of Directors and the Nominating & Governance Committee deem would enhance the effectiveness of the Board of Directors and our governance. The Nominating & Governance Committee seeks persons who have achieved prominence in their fields and who possess significant experience in areas of importance to the Company. Additionally, strong analytical skills, independence, energy, forthrightness and integrity are desired characteristics that the Nominating & Governance Committee seeks in potential candidates. We do not have a formal policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in identifying director nominees. However, the Board of Directors believes that it is essential that its members represent diverse viewpoints, with a broad array of experiences, professions, skills, geographic representation and backgrounds, including diversity of gender and race that, when considered as a group, provide a sufficient mix of perspectives to allow the Board of Directors to best fulfill its responsibilities to the long-term interests of our stockholders. The Board has refreshed Board composition by replacing 80% of the non-management members of the Board within the last eight years. The Board has three female members, one of whom, Eileen McDonnell serves as lead director and one of whom is a member of an underrepresented minority group.

***Quality and Compliance Committee:*** The current members of the Quality and Compliance Committee are Elliot J. Sussman, M.D. (Chairman), Nina Chen-Langenmayr and Maria R. Singer. The Quality and Compliance Committee has the responsibility of assisting the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities concerning review of our policies and procedures relating to healthcare-related regulatory and compliance issues and the delivery of quality medical care to patients. The Quality and Compliance Committee met four times during 2025.

***Executive Committee:*** The current members of the Executive Committee are Alan B. Miller (Chairman), Marc D. Miller, Eileen C. McDonnell and Warren J. Nimetz. The Executive Committee has the responsibility, between meetings of the Board of Directors, to advise and aid our officers in all matters concerning the management of the business and, while the Board of Directors is not in session, has the power and authority of the Board of Directors to the fullest extent permitted under law. The Executive Committee did not meet in 2025.

***Finance Committee:*** The current members of the Finance Committee are Alan B. Miller (Chairman), Marc D. Miller, Warren J. Nimetz and Maria R. Singer. The Finance Committee is responsible for reviewing our overall long-term financial planning. The Finance Committee did not meet during 2025.

**AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT** 

The Board of Directors is committed to the accuracy and integrity of the Company's financial reporting. The Audit Committee takes an involved and active role in delivering on this commitment.

The Audit Committee provides independent, objective oversight of our accounting functions and internal controls.

The Audit Committee reviews and evaluates, and discusses and consults with our management, internal audit personnel and the independent auditors about the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the plan for, and the independent auditors' report on, each audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements and internal controls;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in our accounting practices, principles, controls or methodologies, or in the Company's financial statements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• significant developments in accounting rules;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the adequacy of our internal accounting controls, and accounting, financial and auditing personnel; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the establishment and maintenance of a work environment that promotes ethical behavior.

The Audit Committee acts under a written charter that was originally adopted by the Board of Directors in 2004 and is reviewed and approved on an annual basis. The Audit Committee reviews, acts on and reports to the Board of Directors with respect to various auditing, accounting, financial reporting, internal control and regulatory compliance matters. In discharging its oversight role, the Audit Committee may engage independent counsel and other advisers as it determines necessary. In accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Audit Committee also has the direct responsibility to select, evaluate, determine the compensation of, oversee, and where appropriate, replace our independent auditors, and has the authority to resolve disagreements between management and our auditors. The Audit Committee may establish procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting and auditing matters, as well as confidential, anonymous submission by employees. The Board of Directors has determined that each of the members of the audit committee is "independent" within the meaning of the rules of the New York Stock Exchange and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

The Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the consolidated financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Audit Committee took a number of steps in making this recommendation for 2025:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• First, the Audit Committee discussed with our independent auditors the overall scope and plans for their audits.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Second, the Audit Committee met with the independent auditors, to discuss the results of their audits, their evaluations of our internal controls and the overall quality of our financial reporting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Third, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K with management, including a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Fourth, the Audit Committee reviewed with the independent auditors their judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of our accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Audit Committee under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).

**Audit Committee Report**<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Fifth, the Audit Committee received the written disclosures and the letter from the Company's independent auditors required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent auditor's communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and discussed with the independent auditors the auditors' independence from management and the Company, including the matters in the written disclosures required by the Independence Standards Board, and considered the compatibility of non-audit services with the auditors' independence.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Finally, the Audit Committee obtained and reviewed a report from the independent auditor describing: (i) the independent auditor's internal quality-control procedures; (ii) any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review, or peer review, of the independent auditor, or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities within the preceding five years inspecting one or more independent audits carried out by the independent auditor, and any steps taken to deal with any such issues; and (iii) all relationships between the independent auditor and the Company.

The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed our consolidated financial statements with the Board of Directors and discussed them with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP during the 2025 fiscal year, along with the matters required to be discussed by Statement of Auditing Standard No. 16, Communications with Audit Committees, as amended, and as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. The Audit Committee received from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP the written disclosures, including the letter, required by PCAOB 3524 and 3526 and discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP its independence.

Based on the discussions with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and management, the consolidated financial statement review, and such other matters deemed relevant and appropriate by the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed on February 25, 2026.

**RELATIONSHIP WITH INDEPENDENT AUDITORS** 

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") served as our independent auditors during 2025 and 2024. Representatives from PwC will be in attendance at the Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement, if they desire to do so, and to respond to any appropriate inquiries of the stockholders or their representatives.

PwC's audit report on our consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

Audit fees consisted of professional services rendered to us or certain of our subsidiaries. Such audit services include audits of financial statements, audit of our annual management assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting in 2025 and 2024 (as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002), reviews of our quarterly financial statements and audit services provided in connection with regulatory filings, acquisitions, bond issuances and other matters.

Set forth below are the fees paid or accrued for the services of PwC during 2025 and 2024:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **2025** | **2024** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Audit fees | $4618125 | $4864125 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Audit-related fees | 7075 | 7075 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Tax fees | 780000 | 350000 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;All other fees | 738000 | 288000 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Total | $6143200 | $5509200 |

---

Fees for tax services in 2025 and 2024 consisted primarily of consultation on various tax matters related to us and our subsidiaries, including when applicable, compliance, planning and preparation of federal and state income tax returns for certain of our subsidiaries.

The other fees to PwC in 2025 and 2024 consist of services related to Independent Review Organization services in connection with our behavioral health facilities located in the United States, as well as pre-implementation assessment fees incurred in connection with our planned development and implementation of an enterprise resource planning application.

The Audit Committee has considered and determined that the provision of non-audit services by our principal auditor is compatible with maintaining auditor independence.

All audit and permissible non-audit services provided to us by the independent auditors are pre-approved by the Audit Committee, which considers whether the proposed services would impair the independence of the independent auditors. The Chairperson of the Audit Committee may pre-approve audit and permissible non-audit services during the time between Audit Committee meetings if the fees for the proposed services are less than $25,000.
