RE:    Position of Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer

DearSun,

I am delighted to offer you the position of Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer with Tenet Healthcare (the Company). The following memorializes the terms and conditions of this employment offer.

•Position: Executive Vice President, and effective January 1, 2024, Chief Financial Officer, at the Company headquarters located in Dallas, TX, where you will report to me, Saumya Sutaria, Chief Executive Officer.

•Employment Entity: Tenet Employment, Inc.

•Start Date: No later than July 17, 2023

Compensation

•Base Salary: You will receive an initial annual base salary of $700,000, payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll practices, currently bi-weekly, subject to applicable tax withholdings.

•Annual Incentive Plan (AIP): Your target cash bonus award will be 100% of your base salary. The AIP is performance-based cash compensation tied to the achievement of annual performance goals. The level of payout will depend on the realization of that year’s goals in the Company’s discretion. Awards are subject to modification, including for extraordinary events and/or failure to meet our quality, ethics or compliance guidelines. Participation in the AIP does not guarantee that an award will be made. In addition, you must be hired before October 1 of the applicable year to be eligible for an award. Under the terms of the AIP, your award will be prorated based on the number of months worked during the year.

•Stock Incentive Plan (SIP) Award: You will receive on or about your start date an award of Tenet Restricted Stock Units with an approximate grant date value of $1,670,000 that: (a) will cliff vest upon your full relocation of your primary residence to the Dallas, TX area provided the relocation is completed by September 1, 2025, and (b) will also vest on a prorated basis using a two year time period upon a Qualifying Termination under the ESP occurring prior to September 1, 2025. You will also be recommended for an annual award for the next planning cycle with an approximate grant date value of $2,500,000, which includes a combination of 50% service-based Tenet Restricted Stock Units and 50% performance-based Tenet Restricted Stock Units. You will receive a separate communication from Fidelity Investments, Tenet’s stock plan record keeper, following the grant date which will contain two on-line agreements detailing the terms and conditions of the award which you will need to accept in order for the award to vest. Our awards are designed to align the incentives of our leadership team with the Company’s long-term performance. Each year, the Company determines eligibility, award value and type of award (including whether in stock and/or cash or subject to performance conditions), with awards typically granted in February. Any award will be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable plan document and award agreement. Eligibility for the program does not guarantee an award will be made.

Additional Payments

•Sign-On Bonus: You will receive a cash bonus of $1,000,000 to be paid with your first paycheck, subject to applicable tax withholdings. The sign-on bonus is subject to repayment if you resign for any reason or are terminated for cause within two years following your start date, or if you do not fully relocate your primary residence to the Dallas, TX area by September 1, 2025.
