PROXY STATEMENT

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

1.	Q: Why am I receiving these materials?

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, 2014) 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 stockholders beginning on or about April 9, 2014. The Annual Meeting will be held on Wednesday, May 21, 2014 at 10:00 a.m., at our offices located at Universal Corporate Center, 367 South Gulph Road, King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. 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?

The Annual Meeting is being held (1) to have the holders of Class A and C Common Stock elect one Class III director to serve for a term of three years until the annual election of directors in 2017 and the election and qualification of his successor and (2) to have the holders of Class B and D Common Stock elect one Class III director to serve for a term of three years until the annual election of directors in 2017 and the election and qualification of his successor and (3) to conduct an advisory (nonbinding) vote to approve named executive officer compensation and (4) to ratify the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014 and (5) to transact such other business as may properly be brought 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?

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. Most 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, will instruct you as to how you may access and review all of the Proxy Materials on the internet. Please visit http://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?

Stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 24, 2014, or their duly appointed Proxies, may attend the meeting. Stockholders whose shares are held through a broker or other nominee will need to bring a copy of a brokerage statement reflecting their ownership of our Common Stock as of the record date.

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

Only stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 24, 2014 are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On that date, 6,595,708 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, 664,000 shares of Class C Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, 91,426,192 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, and 29,823 shares of Class D Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, were outstanding. It is important to note that holders of Class B and D Common Stock are not being asked to vote on any currently contemplated proposals at the Annual Meeting, but we are requesting that you submit your vote to grant discretionary authority with respect to such other matters as may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

6.	Q: Who is soliciting my vote?

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.

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

The holders of Class A and C Common Stock will elect one Class III director, to serve for a term of three years until the annual election of directors in 2017. The holders of Class B and D Common Stock will elect one Class III director, to serve for a term of three years until the annual election of directors in 2017. The holders of Class A, Class C, Class B and Class D Common Stock will conduct an advisory (nonbinding) vote to approve named executive officer compensation and vote to ratify the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014.

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

The Board of Directors recommends that holders of Class A and Class C Common Stock and Class B and Class D Common Stock vote shares “FOR” the election of each of the nominees to the Board of Directors for which they are entitled to vote, “FOR” the approval, on an advisory basis, of named executive officer compensation and “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, 2014.

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

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.

10.

Q: What is the difference between a “stockholder of record” and a “street name” holder?

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.

11.

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

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 directors. You may also vote by telephone or internet.

12.

Q: How do I vote by telephone or electronically?

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.

13.

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

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.

14.

Q: Can I change or revoke my vote?

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 if you are present at the meeting and choose to vote in person.

15.

Q: What is the vote required to approve each proposal?

The director nominee receiving the highest number of affirmative votes of the shares of Class A and Class C Common Stock, voting as a class, present in person or represented by Proxy and entitled to vote, a quorum being present, shall be elected as a Class III director. The director nominee receiving the highest number of affirmative votes of the shares of Class B and Class D Common Stock, voting as a class, present in person or represented by Proxy and entitled to vote, a quorum being present, shall be elected as a Class III director.

16.

Q: What constitutes a “quorum”?

The holders of a majority of the common stock votes issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, either in person or represented by Proxy, 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.

17.

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

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.

As of March 24, 2014, the shares of Class A and Class C Common Stock constituted 7.4% of the aggregate outstanding shares of our Common Stock, had the right to elect five members of the Board of Directors and constituted 86.7% 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) constituted 92.6% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock, had the right to elect two members of the Board of Directors and constituted 13.3% of our general voting power.

18.

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

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.

19.

Q: What if I abstain from voting or withhold my vote?

Stockholders entitled to vote for the election of directors can abstain from voting or withhold the authority to vote for any nominee. If you attend the meeting or send in your signed Proxy with instructions to withhold authority to vote for one or more nominees, you will be counted for the purposes of determining whether a quorum exists. Abstentions and instructions on the accompanying Proxy card to withhold authority to vote will result in the respective nominees receiving fewer votes. However, the number of votes otherwise received by the nominee will not be reduced by such action.

20.

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

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, the proposals relating to the election of directors and the advisory vote on approval of named executive officer compensation are deemed to be nonroutine matters with respect to which brokers and nominees may not exercise their voting discretion without receiving instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares.

21.

Q: What is a “broker non-vote”?

“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, the proposal relating to the election of directors and the advisory vote on named executive officer compensation are deemed to be nonroutine matters with respect to which brokers and nominees may not exercise their voting discretion without receiving instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares.

22.

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

Broker non-votes will be counted for the purpose of determining the presence or absence of a quorum but they do not affect the determination of whether a matter is approved.

23.

Q: Who will count the votes?

The Secretary will count the Class A and Class C votes. Our transfer agent will count the Class B and Class D votes and serve as inspector of elections.

24.

Q: When are stockholder proposals due in order to be included in our Proxy Statement for the 2015 Annual Meeting?

Any proposal that you wish to present for consideration at the 2015 Annual Meeting must be received by us no later than December 5, 2014. This date provides sufficient time for inclusion of the proposal in the 2015 Proxy Materials. Any stockholder proposal must also be in proper form and substance, as determined in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Proposals should be addressed to our Secretary at Universal Health Services, Inc., Universal Corporate Center, 367 South Gulph Road, P.O. Box 61558, King of Prussia, Pennsylvania 19406.

25.

Q: Can I receive more than one set of Annual Meeting materials?

If you share an address with another stockholder, each stockholder may not receive a separate copy of our Annual Report and Proxy Statement. We will promptly deliver a separate copy of either document to any stockholder upon written or oral request to our Secretary at Universal Health Services, Inc., Universal Corporate Center, 367 South Gulph Road, P.O. Box 61558, King of Prussia, Pennsylvania 19406, telephone (610) 768-3300. If you share an address with another stockholder and (i) would like to receive multiple copies of the Proxy Statement or Annual Report to Stockholders in the future, or (ii) if you are receiving multiple copies and would like to receive only one copy per household in the future, please contact your bank, broker, or other nominee record holder, or you may contact us at the above address and phone number.

26.

Q: How can I obtain additional information about the Company?

Copies of our annual, quarterly and current reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and any amendments to those reports, are available free of charge on our website, which is located at http://www.uhsinc.com. Copies of these reports will be sent without charge to any stockholder requesting it in writing to our Secretary at Universal Health Services, Inc., Universal Corporate Center, P.O.

PROPOSAL NO. 2

ADVISORY VOTE ON NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION

Pursuant to 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 2014 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.”

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Class A, B, C and D Common Stock votes 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 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 the same legal effect as a vote “against” the matter because it represents a share present or represented at the meeting and entitled to vote, thereby increasing the number of affirmative votes required to approve this proposal.

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.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” 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.

PROPOSAL NO. 3

RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGSITERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

The Audit Committee of the Board has selected, and as a matter of good corporate governance, is requesting ratification by the shareholders of the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to serve as our independent registered public accountants for the year ending December 31, 2014. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP served as our independent registered public accountants for the year ended December 31, 2013. 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 shareholders.

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.

Vote Required

Ratification of the selection of the independent registered public accountants by the shareholders requires that affirmative “FOR” vote of the holders of a majority of the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D Common Stock votes 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.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2014.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

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:

•

Compensation should encourage increased stockholder value;

•

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

•

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;

•

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

•

Compensation programs should enable us to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified professionals.

These objectives govern the decisions that the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) and management of the Company make with respect to the amount and type of compensation payable to our named executive officers. The Compensation Committee believes that linking executive compensation to corporate performance results in a better alignment of compensation with corporate business goals and stockholder value. This belief has been adhered to by developing incentive pay programs that provide competitive compensation and reflect our performance. Our compensation programs are designed to reward our employees for outstanding performance and contributions that increase our stock price thereby increasing stockholder value. Both short-term and long-term incentive compensation are based on our performance and the value received by stockholders. As our performance goals are met or exceeded, resulting in increased value to stockholders, executives are rewarded commensurately. The majority of our compensation programs are reviewed annually to ensure that these objectives continue to be met.

Compensation Setting Process

The Compensation Committee has traditionally taken into account the input and recommendations of our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Alan Miller, with respect to our compensation programs, including the compensation arrangements with our named executive officers other than himself. The Compensation Committee believes that Mr. Alan Miller, due to his role within the Company, his years of healthcare experience and other factors, as mentioned below, provides a valuable resource to the Compensation Committee. Mr. Alan Miller attends certain Compensation Committee meetings by invitation, however, he does not have the right to vote on matters addressed by the Compensation Committee and he does not participate in the discussions with respect to his own compensation. Mr. Alan Miller conducts formal performance evaluations on an annual basis with the named executives who have direct reporting responsibility to him.

Unlike our other named executive officers, Mr. Alan Miller’s base salary, minimum annual bonus and certain perquisites are determined under his employment agreement. Please also refer to the discussion of Mr. Alan Miller’s employment agreement in the Chief Executive Officer Employment Agreement section of this Proxy Statement. In addition, the compensation setting process for Mr. Alan Miller varies from that of our other named executive officers because it is determined by the Compensation Committee without Mr. Alan Miller’s participation. The Compensation Committee, in determining Mr. Alan Miller’s compensation, takes into account his position as Chief Executive Officer, his role as a founder of our company in 1978, his years of dedicated service and his expertise and reputation in the hospital management industry. The Compensation Committee also considers Mr. Alan Miller’s responsibilities in overseeing all of our Company’s businesses, its operations, development and overall strategy and his role as the public face of our company, which shapes our corporate image and identity. These factors differentiate Mr. Alan Miller from the other named executive officers.

In addition, for Mr. Alan Miller and the Company’s other named executive officers, the Compensation Committee reviewed data prepared in late 2012 and early 2014 by Pay Governance LLC that compared the Company’s executive compensation levels to data for comparable positions in other companies within the healthcare industry as well as to size-adjusted (by revenues) data from the broader general industry. Data were drawn from publicly filed proxies of peer healthcare companies and a Towers Watson executive compensation survey database covering a range of companies and industries. Data were compiled for all elements of compensation including base salary, annual incentive opportunity, and equity/long-term incentive awards. These data, as well as Company-specific factors including the prior year performance of our executives and the Company’s operating performance relative to our competitors, were considered by the Committee in determining 2013 and 2014 compensation rates for Mr. Alan Miller and our other named officers. In light of the above factors, the Compensation Committee approved the base salary, annual cash incentive opportunity, and long-term compensation award to each of the named executive officers in 2013 and 2014 and believes that the forms and amounts of compensation for each year adequately reflect our compensation goals and policies.

Tax Considerations

Our chief executive officer, our chief financial officer and the next three most highly compensated officers are referred to herein as the named executive officers. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) places a limit of $1 million on the amount of compensation we may deduct for federal income tax purposes in any one year with respect to our named executive officers with the exception of our chief financial officer. However, performance-based compensation that meets certain requirements is excluded from this $1 million limitation.

In reviewing the effectiveness of the executive compensation program, the Compensation Committee considers the anticipated tax treatment to us and to the named executive officers of various payments and benefits. However, the deductibility of certain compensation payments depends upon the timing of an executive’s vesting or exercise of previously granted awards, as well as interpretations and changes in the tax laws and other factors beyond the Compensation Committee’s control. For these and other reasons, including to maintain flexibility in compensating the named executive officers in a manner designed to promote varying corporate goals, the Compensation Committee will not necessarily, or in all circumstances, limit executive compensation to that which is deductible under Section 162(m) of the Code and has not adopted a policy requiring all compensation to be deductible.

The Compensation Committee will consider various alternatives to preserving the deductibility of compensation payments and benefits to the extent reasonably practicable and to the extent consistent with its other compensation objectives. The portion of Mr. Alan Miller’s 2013 base salary exceeding $1 million will not be deductible by virtue of Section 162(m) of the Code.

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:

•

annual base salary;

•

annual cash incentive;

•

long-term incentive awards;

•

deferred compensation;

•

retirement benefits; and

•

other benefits, including perquisites.

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.

The base salary for each of our named executive officers is paid in cash and is intended to reward the performance and efforts of each named executive officer during the fiscal year relative to his or her position with us. In establishing the base salary for our named executive officers, various criteria are reviewed including the following:

•

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;

•

Mr. Alan Miller’s recommendations as to the proposed base salary, other than his own;

•

company financial performance, and;

•

salaries of similar positions in our competitor companies.

For our named executive officers, in late 2012 and early 2014, an analysis was conducted by Pay Governance LLC utilizing the most currently available proxy statements, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by eight companies that we believe are our most direct competitors. The companies are:

•

Community Health Systems Inc.

•

HCA Inc.

•

Health Management Associates, Inc.

•

Iasis Healthcare

•

Kindred Healthcare, Inc.

•

LifePoint Hospitals, Inc.

•

Tenet Healthcare Corporation

•

Vanguard Health Systems, Inc.

This peer group is consistent with the peer group utilized for the analysis used to determine 2012 compensation. We believe the companies indicated above are comparable peer companies based upon the median revenues of this peer group, which were approximately $6 billion as compared to our 2013 revenues of $7 billion.

For 2013 for Mr. Alan Miller, his base salary exceeded the 75th percentile of the peer group, due to his long tenure in the position, his value as the Company’s founder, his status within the healthcare industry and his performance. The median years of experience of other executives in this group was 9 years compared to Mr. Alan Miller’s 35 years.

For 2013, for our other named executive officers (excluding Mr. Alan Miller), we targeted the median (fiftieth percentile) base salary paid by the comparable companies (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. 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. For 2013, the actual base salary rates for Messrs. Marc Miller, Filton and Pember and Ms. Osteen were within or above approximately 15% of their respective median base salary market rates (as assessed relative to our peer group).

Annual Cash Incentives

Cash incentives for our named executive officers are awarded under the Executive Incentive Plan, which was adopted by our stockholders at our 2010 Annual Meeting. The Executive Incentive 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 Executive Incentive Plan to our named executive officers and others as selected by the Compensation Committee for any calendar year. The Compensation Committee believes that the payment of cash incentives to our named executive officers under the Executive Incentive 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, ultimately, 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 named executive officers using such business criteria and other measures of performance discussed herein; provided that, in the case of incentive awards intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Compensation Committee will establish objective performance goals based upon one or more of the following business criteria:

•

attainment of certain target levels of, or a specified increase in, revenues, income before income taxes and extraordinary items, net income, earnings before income tax, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization or a combination of any or all of the foregoing;

•

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

•

attainment of certain target levels of, or a specified increase in, operational cash flow;

•

attainment of a certain level of, reduction of, or other specified objectives with regard to limiting the level of increase in, all or a portion of, our bank debt or other long-term or short-term public or private debt or other similar financial obligations, which may be calculated net of such cash balances and/or other offsets and adjustments as may be established by the committee;

•

attainment of certain target levels of, or a specified increase in, earnings per share or earnings per share from continuing operations;

•

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

•

attainment of certain target levels of, or a specified increase in, after-tax return on stockholders’ equity;

•

attainment of certain target levels of, or a specified increase in, economic value added targets based on a cash flow return on investment formula, and/or;

•

attainment of certain target levels in the fair market value of our Class B Common Stock or growth in the value of an investment in the Class B Common Stock assuming the reinvestment of dividends.

In the case of an award intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, except as otherwise permitted under Section 162(m) of the Code, the applicable target cash incentive, performance goals and performance factors with respect to any calendar year will be established in writing by the Compensation Committee no later than 90 days after the commencement of that year. Promptly after the date on which the necessary financial or other information for a particular year becomes available, the Compensation Committee will determine the amount, if any, of the cash incentive compensation payable to each participant for that calendar year and will certify in writing prior to payment that the performance goals for the year were in fact satisfied. The maximum incentive award which any participant may earn under the Executive Incentive Plan for any calendar year shall not exceed $5 million. The Executive Incentive Plan provides the Compensation Committee with the discretion to establish higher or lower performance factors for levels of performance that are more or less than the target levels. Performance goals may be adjusted for changes in accounting methods, corporate transactions and other similar types of events, provided that, such adjustment is permitted under Section 162(m) of the Code.

From time to time, special cash incentives may be granted to our named executive officers in order to reward outstanding performance or achievement of a business milestone. Special cash incentive awards support our overall compensation objectives by helping us retain and motivate highly qualified professionals and by providing rewards for outstanding performance. Because special cash incentive awards are made in recognition of outstanding performance, they do not affect decisions that we make regarding other elements of compensation. There were no special cash incentive awards granted to our named executive officers in 2013.

2014 and 2013 Annual Cash Incentive Formula and Performance Goals: The Compensation Committee approved the specific formula for the determination of the target annual cash incentive compensation for our executive officers pursuant to the Executive Incentive Plan with respect to the years ending December 31, 2014 and 2013. Under the formulae approved by the Compensation Committee, each of the Company’s executive officers was assigned a percentage of such executive officer’s base salary as a target bonus based upon corporate performance criteria. The corporate performance criteria target bonus award indicated below for Mr. Alan B. Miller is stipulated in his employment agreement dated July 24, 2013.

The following table shows each named executive officer’s corporate performance criteria target bonus as a percentage of his or her base salary for 2014 and 2013. With respect to Messrs. Alan B. Miller, Marc D. Miller and Steve G. Filton, 100% of their annual incentive bonus for 2014 and 2013 will be/was determined using the corporate performance criteria, as described below. With respect to Ms. Osteen and Mr. Pember, their 2014 and 2013 annual incentive bonus will be/was determined utilizing: (i) 25% of their annual salary based upon the achievement of the corporate performance criteria, and; (ii) 75% of their annual salary based upon the achievement of the divisional income targets, as described below.


Name	Title	Target Award
Name	Title	2014			2013
Alan B. Miller	Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board		100	%		100	%
Marc D. Miller	President		65	%		65	%
Steve G. Filton	Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer		50	%		50	%
Debra K. Osteen	Senior Vice President and President, Behavioral Health Division		50	%		50	%
Marvin G. Pember	Senior Vice President and President, Acute Care Division		50	%		50	%

Pursuant to the Plan and the formulae approved by the Compensation Committee, each executive officer is entitled to receive between 0% and 250% of that executive officer’s target bonus based, either entirely or in part, on the Company’s achievement of a combination of: (i) a specified range of target levels of adjusted net income per diluted share attributable to UHS, and; (ii) a specified range of target levels of return on capital (net income divided by quarterly average net capital) for the years ending December 31, 2014 and 2013. The adjusted net income per diluted share attributable to UHS generally excludes, among other things, the impact of the incentive

income and incremental expenses incurred in connection with the implementation of electronic health records applications at our acute care hospitals, as well as other amounts that may be nonrecurring or non-operational in nature or amounts that may be reflected in the current year financial statements that relate to prior years.

The divisional income targets consist of the projected aggregate pre-tax income for our Acute Care and Behavioral Health Services segments, net of deductions for the allocation of corporate overhead expenses and a charge for the estimated cost of capital. The divisional income targets generally exclude, among other things, the impact of the incentive income and incremental expenses incurred in connection with the implementation of electronic health records applications at our acute care hospitals, as well as other amounts that may be nonrecurring or non-operational in nature or amounts that may be reflected in the current year financial statements that relate to prior years.

To the extent that the actual divisional results exceeded the targets, Ms. Osteen and Mr. Pember are entitled to 75% of the following (as applied to their annual base salary) as the portion of their annual bonus that is based upon divisional income targets: (i) 25% if actual results meet divisional income targets; (ii) 50% if actual results exceed divisional income targets by 5%; (iii) 75% if actual results exceed divisional income targets by 10%, and; (iv) 100% if actual results exceed divisional income targets by 15%.

The 2013 Target of adjusted net income per diluted share attributable to UHS, which represented a specified point within the publicly disclosed range of our projected consolidated earnings per diluted share estimate for the year, was $4.40 per diluted share. The 2013 Return on Capital Target was 6.7%. On February 28, 2013, we publicly disclosed our 2013 estimated range of adjusted net income per diluted share attributable to UHS of $4.35 to $4.50.

In October of 2013, based upon our actual operating results experienced during the first nine months of 2013, we publicly disclosed an increase to our annual 2013 estimated range of adjusted net income attributable to UHS to $4.52 to $4.58 per diluted share. For annual cash incentive computation purposes, the above-mentioned 2013 Target of adjusted net income per diluted share attributable to UHS, and the 2013 Return on Capital Target, were not impacted by this publicly disclosed upward revision to our annual 2013 estimated range of adjusted net income per diluted share attributable to UHS.

Pursuant to the terms of the Executive Incentive Plan and the formula approved by our Compensation Committee, our named executive officers were eligible to receive the applicable portion of their annual cash incentive (which were based on the corporate performance criteria) at various increments ranging from 0% of their bonus target award (based upon the achievement of a Target of adjusted net income per diluted share attributable to UHS of $3.99 or less, and Return on Capital of 6.0% or less) up to 250% of their annual cash incentive target award (based upon the achievement of a Target of adjusted net income per diluted share attributable to UHS of $4.80 or greater and Return on Capital of 7.3% or greater). Although the cash incentive formula in fiscal year 2013 is unchanged from 2012’s cash incentive formula, the Targets have been adjusted, as necessary, to correlate to the range of our estimated 2013 adjusted net income per diluted share attributable to UHS, as publicly disclosed on February 28, 2013.

In determining the corporate and divisional performance 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 per diluted share attributable to UHS directly correlates to our annual earnings guidance that is typically publicly disclosed by us during the first quarter of each year. The divisional performance criteria are also established annually and represent each division’s respective portion of the corporate performance criteria.

The actual cash incentives awarded for 2013 (which were based upon corporate performance criteria) were based upon the achievement of 154% target, as determined by the Compensation Committee in March, 2014, based upon our 2013 actual operating results. During 2013, our adjusted net income per diluted share attributable to UHS, upon which the Target adjusted net income per diluted share attributable to UHS was based, was $4.55. This adjusted net income per diluted share attributable to UHS for 2013 was publicly disclosed and reconciled to our reported 2013 net income per diluted share attributable to UHS of $5.14, on the Schedule of Non-GAAP Supplemental Consolidated Income Information, included with our earnings for the year ended December 31, 2013, as filed on Form 8-K on February 27, 2014. The Return on Capital was 6.9% for 2013. The Return on Capital is calculated by dividing our annual adjusted net income per diluted share attributable to UHS by the consolidated average net capital.

For 2013, Ms. Osteen’s divisional income target was $274 million. The divisional income target consists of the projected aggregate pre-tax income for our Behavioral Health Services segment, net of deductions for the allocation of corporate overhead expenses and a charge for the estimated cost of capital. The divisional income target may be adjusted to include the impact of acquisitions or divestitures made during the year, if material, as well as other amounts that may be nonrecurring or non-operational in nature or amounts that may be reflected in the current year financial statements that relate to prior years. The 2013 actual divisional income, as calculated, was $291 million. Since the actual divisional income exceeded the target by more than 5% (the $274 million target was exceeded by $17 million, or 6%), Ms. Osteen was entitled to 50% of the portion of her bonus (75%) that was based upon the achievement of the divisional income target.

For 2013, Mr. Pember’s divisional income/loss target was a loss of $276 million. The divisional income/loss target consists of the projected aggregate pre-tax income for our Acute Care Services segment, net of deductions for the allocation of corporate overhead expenses and a charge for the estimated cost of capital. The divisional income/loss target may be adjusted to include the impact of acquisitions or divestitures made during the year, if material, as well as other amounts that may be nonrecurring or non-operational in nature or amounts that may be reflected in the current year financial statements that relate to prior years. The 2013 actual divisional income/loss, as calculated, was a loss of $352 million. Since the actual divisional income/loss did not meet the target, Mr. Pember was not entitled to the portion of his bonus (75%) that was based upon the achievement of the divisional income target.

The performance goals related to the Executive Incentive 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. At the time the Compensation Committee approved the Executive Incentive Plan for fiscal years 2014 and 2013, we

believed that the performance goals were attainable, but not certain. Based upon the achievement of the corporate performance criteria, 154% during 2013, 27% during 2012 and 194% during 2011 of the target awards were earned.

As part of our peer company compensation review for executive officers as discussed above in Annual Base Salary, we also target the median (fiftieth percentile) market rate from our healthcare peers and the broader general industry data when determining each officer’s target annual incentive and long-term incentive opportunity. For 2013, our target annual incentive opportunities were assessed as being at or below the market 25^th percentile. 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 and long-term incentive opportunities offered to our named executive officers 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.

For a further description of the cash incentives and other elements of compensation granted to our named executive officer for 2013, 2012 and 2011, please refer to the Summary Compensation Table in this Proxy Statement.

Long-Term Incentives

The Compensation Committee believes that the grant of non-cash, long-term compensation, primarily in the form of long-term incentive awards, to our named executive officers is appropriate to attract, motivate and retain such individuals, and enhance stockholder value through the use of equity incentive compensation opportunities.

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 named executive officers, who are responsible for our management, growth and success, to receive compensation in the form of long-term incentive awards which may increase in value in conjunction with the satisfaction by the Company of pre-determined performance measures and/or an increase in the value of our common stock and which will provide our named executive officers with an incentive to remain in their positions with us.

Like base salaries, with respect to grants of long-term incentive awards, an individual’s performance is reviewed 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. 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 2013, you should read the Summary Compensation Table and the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table included in this Proxy Statement.

Stock options. Our 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Incentive Plan”), as amended in 2008 and 2011, provides for the issuance of options to purchase shares of our Class B Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant. The 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.

Awards under the Stock Incentive Plan may be in the form of options to purchase shares of Class B Common Stock (including options intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code and options which do not qualify as “incentive stock options”) and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”). Awards may be granted to our present or future employees, our affiliates and our directors and consultants who are not employees. To date, no SARs have been granted.

Typically, option awards are granted by the Compensation Committee on specific dates that are scheduled in advance, which generally coincide with regularly scheduled meetings of the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors. There is no separate policy with respect to the timing of option awards to our named executive officers. Typically, option awards are granted to our named executive officers at the same time as option awards are granted to our other employees. In certain circumstances, such as new hires or promotions, option awards are granted separately.

Subject to the provisions of the 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. The grant of stock options is based primarily on an employee’s level in the organization and their contribution to our growth and profitability.

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 and, unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, employees must be employed by us for such options to vest. We do not have any plan to select option grant dates for our named executive officers in coordination with the release of material non-public information. The exercise price per share of Class B Common Stock covered by an option may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying Class B Common Stock on the date of grant. For purposes of the 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.

In January of 2013, Mr. Alan Miller made recommendations to our Compensation Committee with respect to stock option awards to our named executive officers (except for himself) and other eligible employees. The number of stock options awarded to each of our named executive officers during 2013 was comparable to the awards granted to each individual in 2012. The number of stock options awarded to each of our named executive officers in January of 2013 was as follows: Alan B. Miller (590,000); Marc D. Miller (90,000); Steve G. Filton (70,000); Debra K. Osteen (70,000); and; Marvin G. Pember (50,000). In determining the number of options to award to our named executive officers, the Compensation Committee considered Mr. Alan Miller’s recommendations and took into account individual performance in light of a named executive officer’s position, responsibilities and contribution to our financial performance as well as his or her potential contribution to our growth and productivity. In addition, the Compensation Committee also reviewed and considered the compensation data and competitive performance data prepared by Pay Governance LLC in December 2012,

including stock-based compensation, and reviewed historical company practices with respect to stock option and long-term incentive awards. The grant date value of Mr. Alan Miller’s above-mentioned 2013 stock option award exceeded the 75% percentile of the peer group and the grant date values of the 2013 stock option awards for Messrs. Marc Miller, Filton and Pember and Ms. Osteen were at or below the median versus the peer group. For a description of the long-term incentive awards granted to our named executive officers in 2013, please see the Summary Compensation Table and the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table included in this Proxy Statement.

Additionally, in March of 2014, Mr. Alan Miller made recommendations to our Compensation Committee with respect to stock option awards to our named executive officers (except for himself) and other eligible employees. The number of stock options awarded to each of our named executive officers during 2014, which were unchanged from the 2013 awards, was as follows: Alan B. Miller (590,000); Marc D. Miller (90,000); Steve G. Filton (70,000); Debra K. Osteen (70,000); and; Marvin G. Pember (50,000). In determining the number of options to award to our named executive officers, the Compensation Committee considered Mr. Alan Miller’s recommendations and took into account individual performance in light of a named executive officer’s position, responsibilities and contribution to our financial performance as well as his or her potential contribution to our growth and productivity. In addition, the Compensation Committee also reviewed and considered the compensation data and competitive performance data prepared by Pay Governance LLC in January, 2014, including stock-based compensation, and reviewed historical company practices with respect to stock option and long-term incentive awards.

Restricted Stock Awards. The 2010 Employees’ Restricted Stock Purchase Plan (the “Restricted Stock Plan”), which is administered by the Compensation Committee, provides for the sale of shares of our Class B Common Stock to eligible personnel for a purchase price equal to par value. Shares of our Class B Common Stock may be sold under the Restricted Stock Plan to any of our employees or consultants.

Vesting conditions on shares issued under the Restricted Stock 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.

Typically, a vesting condition based upon any of the above performance criteria will qualify for the exception to the Code’s Section 162(m) deduction limitation if it is imposed in writing by the Compensation Committee within 90 days of the beginning of the applicable performance period, and it is sufficiently objective to enable a third party having knowledge of the relevant facts to determine whether the condition is met. The Compensation Committee is solely responsible for determining whether a performance-based vesting condition is satisfied at the end of the applicable performance period.

The Compensation Committee believes restricted stock awards, at times, can be effective in achieving our compensation objectives because employees realize immediate value as restricted stock awards vest, with the value increasing as our stock performance increases. Additionally, cash dividends are paid on all outstanding awards of restricted stock as an additional element of compensation and to provide employees incentives to sustain or increase our performance. We do not have any plan to select restricted stock award grant dates for our named executive officers in coordination with the release of material non-public information.

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. An “eligible employee” under the Deferred Compensation Plan is: (i) an employee whose base compensation for 2013 is expected to be $115,000 or higher and has been approved by our Chief Executive Officer, or; (ii) any other employee who has been approved by our Chief Executive Officer. 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 $2,000. No more than 25% of an employee’s base salary or 50% 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. Two of our named executive officers deferred a portion of their base salary and/or bonus paid during 2013 to the Deferred Compensation Plan. The Compensation Committee believes that, by offering an alternative savings alternative 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 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 provide a balanced and competitive retirement program and support our objectives to attract, retain and motivate talented personnel.

Executive Retirement Income Plan. In October 1993, the Board of Directors adopted the Executive Retirement Income Plan pursuant to which certain management or other highly compensated employees designated by the Board of Directors who have completed at least 10 years of active employment with us may receive retirement income benefits. The monthly 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.

Payment of the benefit will be made in 60 monthly installments following the participant’s retirement date. If an employee ceases employment with us prior to the applicable retirement age, or an employee has not

completed at least 10 years of active employment with us, no retirement income will be payable to the employee unless the Board of Directors determines otherwise. For a further description of the Executive Retirement Income Plan, please refer to the Pension Benefits Table 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 2013, we made matching contributions (subject to highly compensated employee limits set by the Internal Revenue Code) to the 401(k) plan of approximately $30 million. Most of the named executive officers participated in the 401(k) plan in 2013. Accordingly, we made matching contributions equal to $7,650 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, life 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 has been utilized for business purposes by members of our management team, including our named executive officers, and for personal use by Mr. Alan Miller, as stipulated in his employment agreement. When the aircraft is utilized for personal purposes by Mr. Alan Miller and/or his 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 Mr. Alan Miller and therefore no imputed amounts are included in the Summary Compensation Table.

Automobile. Mr. Alan Miller utilizes his automobile for both business and personal purposes. As reimbursement for his business-related usage, we paid 70% of the original purchase price of the vehicle and Mr. Alan Miller paid the remainder. We also pay for other expenses related to the vehicle including maintenance and fuel costs, $3,286 in 2013 of which (the amount deemed to be related to his personal use) is included in the Summary Compensation Table in “All other compensation”.

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. During 2013, we did not pay any relocation expenses on behalf of our named executive officers.

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.

Split-Dollar Life Insurance Agreements. In October 1998, we entered into split dollar life insurance agreements, with a combined face value of $16 million, in connection with second to die insurance policies issued on the lives of our chief executive officer, Alan B. Miller and his wife and owned by the Alan B. Miller 1998 Dual Life Insurance Trust (the “1998 Trust”). We entered into two additional split dollar life insurance agreements, with a combined face value of $30 million, in connection with life insurance policies issued on the life of Alan B. Miller and owned by the Alan B. Miller 2002 Trust (the “2002 Trust”) in January 2002. Anthony Pantaleoni, a director of the Company, is Trustee of the 1998 Trusts and the 2002 Trusts.

In December, 2010, with assistance from its advisors, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors recommended, and the Board of Directors approved, the Company’s entering into supplemental life insurance plans and agreements with the 1998 Trust and the 2002 Trust (collectively, the “Trusts”) previously established by Mr. Miller and which previously owned the policies. The supplemental life agreements replaced the existing arrangements. The supplemental life agreements are intended to constitute a “non-equity endorsement split-dollar arrangement” as defined by Internal Revenue Code and Regulations. In order to effectuate the supplemental life agreements, the Trusts transferred the life insurance policies to the Company in exchange for cancellation of the previously existing split-dollar agreement obligation to repay the Company’s premium advances. This transfer terminated the previously existing split-dollar arrangements. As a result of these transfers, the Company owns the policies and agreed to endorse a portion of the death benefit to the Trusts. The Company (and the Trusts) agreed to resume making premium payments on the policies, which had been suspended since 2002, with the consent of Mr. Miller, due to uncertainties regarding the legality of the fundings of the previously existing split-dollar arrangements pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Premium payments will be shared by the Company and the Trusts, with the Trusts’ portion determined under the principles established by applicable U.S. Treasury Department pronouncements, notices, rulings and regulations in effect for determining such costs for insurance (the same premium division contemplated in the original arrangement). Upon death of the insured(s), the Company will receive the greater of the cash value of the policy or the aggregate premiums paid by the Company and the Trusts. The Trusts will receive the remaining death benefit proceeds under the policies.

As a result of these Agreements, based on actuarial tables and other assumptions, during the life expectancies of the insureds, and including amounts paid through 2013, the Company would pay approximately $25.3 million in premiums and the Trusts would pay approximately $8.2 million in premiums. Based on the projected premiums mentioned above, and assuming the policies remain in effect until the death of the insureds, the Company will be entitled to receive death benefit proceeds of no less than $33.5 million representing the $25.3 million of aggregate premiums paid by the Company as well as the $8.2 million of aggregate premiums paid by the Trusts.

Based on these projections, the total economic pre-tax cost to the Company (which includes the projected cost of capital net of the income resulting from the Trusts’ expected future receipt of the $8.2 million of premiums paid by the Trusts) would be $11.3 million over the life expectancies of the insureds. During 2013 and 2012, the Company paid approximately $1.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively, in premium payments. The

Company expects to expend between $900,000 and $1.3 million during each of the next ten years and lesser amounts thereafter. All of the Company’s premium payments (as well as the Trusts’) are expected to be repaid to the Company utilizing the death benefit proceeds. The Company recorded net after-tax (income)/expense of ($86,000) during 2013, ($32,000) during 2012 and $65,000 during 2011, respectively, in connection with the present value computations related to the Company’s projected premium funding commitment over the terms of the policies and the projected death benefit proceeds due to the Company in the future, as discussed above.

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 with those offered by our peers. 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 2013, please refer to the narrative discussion included in this Proxy Statement.

Rewards/Compensation Risk Analysis: As part of its oversight of the Company’s executive compensation program, the Compensation Committee considers the impact of the Company’s executive compensation program, and the incentives created by the compensation awards that it administers, on the Company’s risk profile. In addition, the Company reviews all of its compensation policies and procedures, including the incentives that they create and factors that may reduce the likelihood of excessive risk taking, to determine whether they present a significant risk to the Company. The review found that there were no excessive risks encouraged by the Company’s reward programs and the rewards programs do not produce payments that have a material impact on the financial performance of the organization. Approximately 400 employees (including the named executive officers) of our 47,000 full-time employees (comprising 0.8% of our full-time employees) have incentive plans that entitle those individuals to larger bonus awards if profitability increases. However, although the plans are based on profitability, the bonus awards for these employees are capped at specific award levels (typically at 125% or less of base salary). Therefore, should our profitability increase, even by significant amounts, we do not believe the additional aggregate bonus awards would have a material unfavorable impact on our future results of operations.

Summary

The foregoing discussion describes the compensation objectives and policies that were utilized with respect to our named executive officers during 2013 and 2014. In the future, as the Compensation Committee continues to review each element of the executive compensation program with respect to our named executive officers, the objectives of our executive compensation program, as well as the methods that the Compensation Committee utilizes to determine both the types and amounts of compensation to award to our named executive officers, may change.

Compensation Committee Report

The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis with management; and based on the review and discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Proxy Statement.

Chief Executive Officer Employment Agreement

As discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, unlike our other named executive officers, Mr. Alan Miller’s compensation is determined in large part by the terms of his employment agreement. Mr. Miller’s base salary, minimum annual bonus and certain perquisites are determined under his employment

agreement. On July 24, 2013, we entered into a new employment agreement with Alan B. Miller (effective July 1, 2013) which provides that Mr. Miller will continue to serve as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of our Board of Directors through December 31, 2017, and subject further to automatic annual renewal for one additional year unless either party elects otherwise. Pursuant to this new employment agreement, Mr. Miller’s annual salary was $1.5 million for the calendar year ending December 31, 2013.

Mr. Alan Miller participates in benefit plans and programs that are made available to other employees and he receives certain executive perquisites, including, but not limited to, split dollar life insurance benefits, payment of certain automobile costs, payment of country club dues, tax and accounting services, use of a private plane for personal purposes for up to 60 hours per year, subject to reimbursement by Mr. Alan Miller of the incremental costs incurred at market rates, and such other fringe benefits as the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors may determine (as discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis).

Mr. Alan Miller’s salary as our Chief Executive Officer will be $1,537,500 for 2014 which is a 2.5% increase over his 2013 salary. Mr. Miller is also entitled to an annual bonus opportunity target equal to 100% of his salary. The amount of the annual bonus for any year may be more or less than the target amount and will be determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with pre-established performance measures.

In addition to the stock options and/or restricted stock granted to Mr. Alan Miller during the years discussed above in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis-Restricted Stock Awards and Stock Options, he was also eligible to receive awards under our long term incentive plan(s), including shares of restricted stock.

For a further description of the employment agreement, please refer to the Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control section below. For a further description of the compensation setting process with respect to Mr. Miller, please refer to the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section above.

Chief Executive Officer Restricted Stock Grants in 2014 and 2012

Pursuant to Mr. Alan Miller’s employment agreement, in March, 2014, the Compensation Committee approved the issuance of 19,189 restricted shares of our Class B Common Stock to Mr. Alan Miller (market value of $1.5 million on the date of grant). These restricted shares were issued pursuant to the 2010 Employees’ Restricted Stock Purchase Plan and have a vesting schedule of 25% on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date. The forfeiture of these shares prior to the vesting dates are determined pursuant to the terms set forth in the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement.

In January, 2012, drawing upon data provided by and discussed with Pay Governance, LLC in December, 2011 the Compensation Committee approved the issuance of 54,127 restricted shares of our Class B Common Stock to Mr. Alan Miller (market value of $2.0 million on the date of grant) pursuant to the 2010 Employees’ Restricted Stock Purchase Plan. These restricted shares have a vesting schedule of 50% on the first anniversary date of the award, and 25% on each of the second and third anniversary dates of the grant date. Pursuant to the terms of the grant, 50%, or 27,063 shares of restricted stock vested on January 18, 2013 and 25%, or 13,532 shares of restricted stock vested on January 18, 2014. The forfeiture of these shares prior to the vesting dates are

determined pursuant to the terms set forth in the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement. In determining this stock-based incentive award, the Committee reviewed data prepared by Pay Governance, LLC which provided compensation data for comparable positions in other companies within the healthcare industry as well as certain other similar-sized companies in other industries. The review included base salary, short-term cash incentive compensation and long-term, stock-based compensation. This data was considered in determining Mr. Miller’s 2012 compensation which primarily includes base salary, cash incentive compensation (based upon the achievement of specific bonus formula) and stock-based compensation included stock options and restricted stock.

The restricted stock awarded to Mr. Miller did not impact decisions regarding other elements of Mr. Miller’s compensation package.

In October 1993, the Board of Directors adopted the Executive Retirement Income Plan pursuant to which certain management or other highly compensated employees designated by the Board of Directors who have completed at least 10 years of active employment with us may receive retirement income benefits. The monthly 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.

Payment of the benefit will be made in 60 monthly installments following the participant’s retirement date. Under certain circumstances, the participant may be entitled to elect to receive the present value of the payments in one lump sum or receive payments over a period of 10 years. If an employee ceases employment with us prior to the applicable retirement age, or an employee has not completed at least 10 years of active employment with us, no retirement income will be payable to the employee unless the Board of Directors determines otherwise.

For Mr. Alan Miller the aggregate benefit payable (for the 60 months in which the participant receives benefits) assuming retirement as of December 31, 2013 amounted to approximately $2.2 million. As of December 31, 2013, the projected aggregate benefit payable for each of Steve G. Filton, Debra K. Osteen and Marc D. Miller were approximately $900,000, $950,000 and $1.5 million, respectively, based upon the following assumptions: (i) each participant will retire at the age of 62, and; (ii) annual salary increases of 3% are provided until the age of 62 is attained.

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 convert and defer a portion of their base salary and bonus award into investment options in lieu of receiving cash. An “eligible employee” under the Deferred Compensation Plan is: (i) an employee whose base compensation for 2013 is expected to be $115,000 or higher and has been approved by our Chief Executive Officer, or; (ii) any other employee who has been approved by our Chief Executive Officer. 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 $2,000. No more than 25% of an employee’s base salary or 50% 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, 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 one lump sum or equal annual or less frequent installments over a period not to exceed ten years. An employee will receive a lump sum distribution as a result of termination of employment for other than retirement, death or disability. 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.

In general, Mr. Alan Miller’s long-term incentive awards granted pursuant to his employment agreement will become fully vested upon termination of his employment other than by us for “cause” or voluntarily by Mr. Alan Miller before the end of the applicable term (under circumstances not involving a breach of the employment agreement by us).

If Mr. Alan Miller’s employment is terminated for “cause”, as defined in the employment agreement, he will be entitled to any benefits payable to or earned by Mr. 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 as Chief Executive Officer is terminated due to his disability, Mr. Alan 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. Alan Miller’s base salary, payable in twelve equal monthly installments. If Mr. Alan Miller’s employment or service terminates due to his death, Mr. Alan Miller’s beneficiary shall receive a pro rata portion of the annual bonus which would otherwise have been payable to Mr. Alan Miller for the year of his death.

If Mr. Miller terminates his employment or other service under the 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. Alan Miller’s employment by us without cause or otherwise in breach of the employment agreement, Mr. Alan Miller will generally continue to receive all of the cash compensation, benefits and minimum long term incentive compensation set forth in the employment agreement as if his employment or service had not terminated, and the vesting of his long-term incentive plan awards will accelerate.

Additionally, on March 26, 2014, all non-employee directors received an option to purchase 15,000 shares of our Class B Common Stock at an exercise price of $78.17 per share.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our Common Stock and other equity securities.

Based upon a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us during fiscal year 2013 and written representations from our executive officers and directors, we believe that during the 2013 fiscal year, the officers, directors and holders of more than 10% of our Common Stock complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements, with the following exception:

Anthony Pantaleoni sold 350 shares of Class B Common Stock on September 12, 2012. Mr. Pantaleoni also sold 3,655 shares of Class B Common Stock on March 13, 2013. These transactions were subsequently reported on a Form 4 filed by Mr. Pantaleoni on May 15, 2013.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Marc D. Miller, a member of our Board of Directors and President of the Company, is the son of Alan B. Miller, our CEO. Marc D. Miller is a named executive officer and therefore the salary and other compensation arrangements between us and Marc D. Miller are disclosed and described throughout this Proxy Statement.

Anthony Pantaleoni, a member of our Board of Directors and a member of the Executive Committee is Of Counsel to Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P., the law firm we use as our principal outside counsel. This law firm also provides personal legal services to our Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Pantaleoni is also the trustee of certain trusts for the benefit of the Chief Executive Officer and his family.

Pursuant to our Code of Business Conduct and Corporate Standards, all employees, officers and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in any relationship or financial interest which is a conflict of interest with, or which interferes or has the potential to interfere with, the interests of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or facilities. In addition, all employees, officers and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries are required to disclose to our compliance officer any financial interest or ownership interest or any other relationship that he or she (or a member of his or her immediate family) has with customers, vendors, or competitors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or facilities. James Caponi is currently our Chief Compliance Officer.

All employees, officers and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries are prohibited from entering into a related party transaction with the Company without the prior approval of our compliance officer. Any request for the Company to enter into a transaction with an employee, officer or director or any of such persons’ immediate family members must first be presented to our compliance officer for review, consideration and approval. In approving or rejecting the proposed agreement, our compliance officer will consider the relevant facts and

circumstances available and deemed relevant, including but not limited to, the risks, costs, and benefits to the Company, the terms of the transactions, the availability of other sources for comparable services or products, and, if applicable, the impact on director independence. Our compliance officer shall only approve those agreements that, in light of known circumstances, are in or are not inconsistent with, the Company’s best interests, as determined in good faith by our compliance officer.

Except as otherwise disclosed in this Proxy Statement, since the beginning of the Company’s last fiscal year, we have not been a party to, and we have no plans to be a party to, any transaction or series of similar transactions in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000 and in which any employee, executive officer or director, holder of more than 5% of our voting securities, or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Please see “Corporate Governance—Director Independence” for additional information on the independence of our directors.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Director Independence

Our Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that four of its seven current members (John H. Herrell, Robert H. Hotz, Lawrence S. Gibbs and Eileen C. McDonnell) are independent directors under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange listing standards. Eileen C. McDonnell was appointed to our Board of Directors in April, 2013.

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 2013, there were six Board of Directors meetings and all active directors participated in 100% of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors and of the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board of Directors on which they served. Directors are expected to attend the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. All of our directors attended the 2013 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). John H. Herrell is the presiding director who presides over the executive sessions of 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 both the Company’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. John H. Herrell is the presiding director who 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 has determined that this leadership structure is appropriate given the size and complexity of the Company, the number of directors overseeing the Company and the Board’s oversight responsibilities.

The specific experience, qualifications, attributes or skills that led to the conclusion that each Director should serve as a Director of the Company, in light of the Company’s business and structure, are as follows:

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, the Board has established a Compensation Committee, an Audit Committee and a Nominating & Governance Committee to assist the Board in performing its oversight responsibilities.

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 payors, the inability to collect payments from patients, a worsening of the economic and employment conditions in the United States, uncertainties regarding health care reform, 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 and whistleblower 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. John Herrell, 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.

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 Executive Committee and the Finance Committee are the standing committees of the Board of Directors. A current copy of the our Corporate Governance Guidelines, Code of Business Conduct and Corporate Standards, Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers, Compensation Committee Charter, Nominating & Governance Committee Charter and Audit Committee Charter are available free of charge on our website at www.uhsinc.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.

Compensation Committee. The current members of the Compensation Committee are Robert H. Hotz, Lawrence S. Gibbs and John H. Herrell. The Compensation Committee met two times during 2013. 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 which 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 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, unlike our other named executive officers, Mr. Alan Miller’s compensation is determined in large part by the terms of his employment agreement.

Audit Committee. Current members of the Audit Committee are John H. Herrell, Robert H. Hotz, Lawrence S. Gibbs and Eileen C. McDonnell. Ms. McDonnell was appointed as a member of the Audit Committee commensurate with her appointment to the Company’s Board of Directors in April, 2013. No member serves on the audit committee of more than three public companies. The Audit Committee met thirteen times during 2013.

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 John H. Herrell 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 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. This Committee has the authority, duties and responsibilities set forth in its Audit Committee Charter, as amended.

Nominating & Governance Committee. The current members of the Nominating & Governance Committee are Robert H. Hotz, Lawrence S. Gibbs and John H. Herrell. Mr. Herrell was appointed to the Nominating & Governance Committee in March, 2013. This Committee met once during 2013. 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 over 95% 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. Recommended nominees will only be considered if there is a vacancy or if the Board of Directors decides to increase the number of directors.

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 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 Nominating & Governance Committee will evaluate a nominee on the same basis if the individual is recommended by a stockholder. The Nominating & Governance Committee does not currently pay a fee to a third party to identify or evaluate nominees, but may consider from time to time engaging a search firm to identify Class B and D director candidates.

Executive Committee.

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:

•

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

•

changes in our accounting practices, principles, controls or methodologies, or in the Company’s financial statements;

•

significant developments in accounting rules;

•

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

•

the establishment and maintenance of a work environment that promotes ethical behavior.

The Audit Committee acts under a written charter which 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 2013:

•

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

•

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.

•

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.

•

Fourth, the Audit Committee reviewed with the independent auditors their judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of the 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).

•

Fifth, the Audit Committee 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.

•

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 2012 fiscal year, along with the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended (AICPA Professional Standards, Vol. 1 AU Section 380) as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T. 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. The Audit Committee discussed with the independent accountants 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. 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 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

RELATIONSHIP WITH INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) served as our independent auditors during 2013 and 2012. Representatives from PwC will be present 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, 2013 and 2012 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.

Set forth below are the fees paid or accrued for the services of PwC during 2013 and 2012:


	2013		2012
Audit fees	$	2,423,100	$	2,479,830
Audit-related fees		—		—
Tax fees		447,024		560,941
All other fees		159,600		81,058

Total	$	3,029,724	$	3,121,829

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 2013 and 2012 (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 and other matters.

Fees for tax services in 2013 and 2012 consisted primarily of consultation on various tax matters related to us and our subsidiaries, including preparation of federal and state income tax returns for certain of our subsidiaries.

The other fees in 2013 represent fees to PwC for Independent Review Organization services in connection with our South Texas Health System affiliates and Sierra Vista Hospital. Other fees in 2012 represent fees to PwC for Independent Review Organization services in connection with our South Texas Health System affiliates.

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.
