PROXY STATEMENT
GENERAL
This Proxy Statement (first mailed to stockholders on or about April 20,
1994) is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors
of Universal Health Services, Inc. (the "Company") of proxies for use at the
Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or at any adjournment thereof. The meeting will
be held on Wednesday, May 18, 1994 at 10:00 a.m., at the offices of the Company,
Universal Corporate Center, 367 South Gulph Road, King of Prussia, Pennsylvania.
The Annual Meeting is being held (1) to have the holders of Class A and C Common
Stock elect two Class I directors of the Company who will serve for terms of
three years until the annual election of directors in 1997 and the election and
qualification of their respective successors; (2) to have the holders of Class
A, B, C and D Common Stock vote upon the proposal to adopt the Amendment to the
1989 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan which was adopted by the Board of
Directors of the Company; (3) to have the holders of Class A, B, C and D Common
Stock vote upon the proposal to adopt the 1994 Executive Incentive Plan which
was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company, and (4) to transact such
other business as may properly be brought before the meeting or any adjournment
thereof.
A copy of the Company's Annual Report to Stockholders, including financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 1993, is enclosed herewith.
A separate form of Proxy applies to the Company's Class A and Class C
Common Stock and a separate form of Proxy applies to the Company's Class B and
Class D Common Stock. Enclosed is a Proxy for the shares of stock held by you on
the record date. Unless otherwise indicated on the Proxy, shares represented by
any Proxy will, if the Proxy is properly executed and received by the Company
prior to the Annual Meeting, be voted FOR each of the nominees for directors,
FOR the approval of the Amendment to the 1989 Non-Employee Director Stock Option
Plan, and FOR the approval of the 1994 Executive Incentive Plan, as shown on the
form of Proxy. Any Proxy executed and returned to the Company is revocable by
delivering a later signed and dated Proxy or other written notice to the
Secretary of the Company at any time prior to its exercise. A Proxy is also
subject to revocation if the person executing the Proxy is present at the
meeting and chooses to vote in person.
VOTING
Only stockholders of record as of the close of business on April 8, 1994
are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On that date, 1,139,123 shares of
Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, 114,482 shares of Class C Common
Stock, par value $.01 per share, 13,022,238 shares of Class B Common Stock, par
value $.01 per share, and 24,210 shares of Class D Common Stock, par value $.01
per share, were outstanding.
The Company's 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. Each holder of Class A
Common Stock may cumulate his votes for directors giving one candidate a number
of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected, multiplied by the
number of Shares of Class A Common Stock, or he may distribute his votes on the
same principle among as many candidates as he shall see fit. For a holder of
Class A Common Stock to exercise his cumulative voting rights, the stockholder
must give notice at the meeting of his intention to cumulate his votes.
4
As to matters other than the election of directors, including the approval
of the Amendment to the 1989 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan, and the
1994 Executive Incentive Plan, the Company's 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. Each share of Class A Common
Stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote; each share of Class B Common
Stock entitles the holders 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, 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 their discretion, may require beneficial owners 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 the stock records of the Company.
Stockholders entitled to vote for the election of Directors can withhold
the authority to vote for any one or more nominees. Nominees receiving a
plurality of the votes cast will be elected. Abstention from the vote to
consider the adoption of the Amendment to the 1989 Non-Employee Director Stock
Option Plan, and for the approval of the 1994 Executive Incentive Plan or the
approval of such other matters as may properly come before the meeting, or any
adjournment thereof, are treated as votes against the proposal. Broker non-votes
are treated as shares as to which the beneficial owners have withheld voting
authority and therefore as shares not entitled to vote on the matter as to
whether there is a broker non-vote, thereby making it easier to obtain the
approval of holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote which is
required for approval of the various proposals.
As of April 8, 1994, the shares of Class A and Class C Common Stock
constituted 8.8% of the aggregate outstanding shares of the Company's Common
Stock, had the right to elect five members of the Board of Directors and
constituted 89.1% of the general voting power of the Company; and as of that
date the shares of Class B and Class D Common Stock constituted 91.2% of the
outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock, had the right to elect two
members of the Board of Directors and constituted 10.9% of the general voting
power of the Company.
As of February 11, 1994, the Company's current directors and officers as a
group owned of record or beneficially 1,135,373 shares of Class A Common Stock,
191,563 shares of Class B Common Stock (excluding shares issuable upon exercise
of options), 113,727 shares of Class C Common Stock and 415 shares of Class D
Common Stock, representing 99.7%, 1.6%, 99.3% and 1.6%, respectively, of the
outstanding shares of each class and constituting 89.1% of the general voting
power of the Company on that date. Holders of approximately 1,129,173 shares of
Class A Common Stock and 112,952 shares of Class C Common Stock constituting
99.1% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock, 98.7% of the outstanding Class C
Common Stock and 88.4% of the general voting power of the Company have agreed
pursuant to a Stockholders Agreement, dated September 26, 1985, as amended, to
vote their shares of Class A Common Stock and Class C Common Stock, to approve
or disapprove such matters as shall be presented to the stockholders of the
Company for approval, in accordance with written instructions from Alan B.
Miller, relating to: (a) a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into
any other individual, corporation,

partnership or other person or entity other than a merger or consolidation
pursuant to which the Company is the continuing corporation and the result of
which is not a sale, transfer or other disposition of or a modification of the
form of ownership of the Company as it exists on the date of such Agreement; (b)
any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition, including without
limitation a mortgage or other security device, of all or any substantial part
of the assets of the Company (including without limitation any voting securities
of a subsidiary of the Company) or of a subsidiary (which assets of the
subsidiary constitute a substantial part of the assets of the Company) to any
other individual, corporation, partnership or other person or entity; (c) the
election of directors; or (d) any agreement, contract or other arrangement
providing for any of the transactions described above.

PROPOSAL NO. 1
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for a Board of
Directors of not fewer than three members nor more than nine members. The Board
of Directors is currently fixed at seven members, and is divided into three
classes, with members of each class serving for a three-year term. At each
Annual Meeting of Stockholders, directors are chosen to succeed those in the
class whose term expires at such Annual Meeting. Under the Company's Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, holders of shares of the Company's outstanding
Class B and Class D Common Stock are entitled to elect 20% (but not less than
one) of the directors, currently two directors, one in each of Class II and
Class III, and the holders of Class A and Class C Common Stock are entitled to
elect the remaining directors, currently five directors, two in Class I, one in
Class II, and two in Class III.
The persons listed below currently constitute the Company's Board of
Directors. The term of the Class I directors, Dr. Martin Meyerson and Mr. John
H. Herrell, expire at the 1994 Annual Meeting. Dr. Martin Meyerson and Mr. John
H. Herrell have been nominated to be elected by the holders of Class A and Class
C Common Stock. The Company has no reason to believe that either of the nominees
will be unavailable for election; however, if either of the nominees become
unavailable for any reason, the shares represented by the Proxy will be voted
for the person, if any, who is designated by the Board of Directors to replace
the nominee. Both nominees have consented to be named and have indicated their
intent to serve if elected.
The following information is furnished with respect to each of the nominees
for election as a director and each member of the Board of Directors whose term

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's
directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of a
registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file with the Securities
and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange initial reports of
ownership and reports of changes in ownership of Common Stock and other equity
securities of the Company. Based on reports filed with the Company, the Company
believes all required reports of executive officers and directors were filed in
a timely manner.
PROPOSAL NO. 2
ADOPTION OF AMENDMENT TO
STOCK OPTION PLAN FOR NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS
In 1989, the Company adopted a stock option plan for non-employee directors
of the Company (the "Option Plan"). The Board of Directors believes that the
continued growth and success of the Company will depend, in large part, upon the
ability of the Company to maintain and attract to its Board of Directors
knowledgeable persons who, through their efforts and expertise, can make a
significant contribution to the success of the Company's business and to provide
incentive for such directors to work for the best interests of the Company and
its stockholders through ownership of its Common Stock. Pursuant to the Option
Plan as originally adopted, each non-employee director on the date the Option
Plan was adopted and each new non-employee director who has served a period of
three years as a director of the Company (the "Non-Employee Director")
automatically received on the third anniversary of his service as a director
(the "Grant Date"), an option to purchase 2,000 shares of the Company's Class B
Common Stock (the "Option") at a per share exercise price equal to the fair
market value of the Common Stock on the Grant Date. A maximum of 25,000 shares
may be issued under the Option Plan. The Board believes that in order to
continue to attract directors of high caliber, an amendment to the Plan is
necessary.
THE AMENDMENT
Under the Plan as amended by the Board of Directors on March 23, 1994,
subject to Stockholder approval, Non-Employee Directors will be granted options
to purchase 2,500 shares of Class B Common Stock on the date the amendment to
the Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors or, in the case of new Directors,
on their appointment to the Board, rather than 2,000 shares on the third
anniversary of their appointment.
Options may be exercised as to 25% of the shares on each of the four
successive anniversaries of the Grant Date. Options granted under the Option
Plan shall have a term of five years from the Grant Date and shall not be
"incentive stock options" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
The Option Plan will be administered by the Board of Directors of the
Company. However, the Option Plan prescribes the individuals who would be
awarded Options, the number of shares subject to the Options, and the terms and
conditions of each award. The Board of Directors may at any time terminate the
Option Plan and may from time to time alter or amend the Option Plan or any part
thereof, provided that, unless otherwise required by law, the rights of a
Non-Employee Director with respect to an option granted prior to such
termination, alteration or amendment may not be impaired without the consent of
such Non-Employee Director.
Messrs. Cronkhite, Meyerson, Hotz, Herrell and Pantaleoni were each granted
on January 18, 1994, the date of the adoption of the amendment to the Option
Plan by the Board of Directors, options to purchase 2,500 shares of Class B
Common Stock under the Option Plan, at a per share exercise price of $19.625,
the
8
11
fair market value of the Common Stock on January 18, 1994. As a group, all
Non-Employee Directors will have outstanding options to purchase 12,500 shares,
which, had they all been in effect on December 31, 1993, would have had an
aggregate potential unrealized value of $7,813 as of December 31, 1993; and
$48,437 as of March 31, 1994.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
An option granted under the Option Plan will be a non-statutory stock
option and will be taxed in accordance with Section 83 of the Code and the
regulations thereunder. A director granted an option under the Option Plan
generally will realize income when the shares are purchased pursuant to the
exercise of the option. The income realized (the difference between the exercise
price of the option and the fair market value of the shares at the time the
option is exercised) will be ordinary income to the optionee for which the
Company will be able to claim a business expense deduction.
VOTE REQUIRED
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Common Stock votes
of the Company present or represented at the 1994 Annual Meeting of Stockholders
is required for the approval of the Amendment to the Option Plan. Neither the
law of the State of Delaware nor the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
requires that the Option Plan be approved by the Company's stockholders.
However, the Company believes that if stockholders approve the Option Plan, the
Option Plan will meet all of the conditions of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, thereby exempting from the operation of the "short swing

PROPOSAL NO. 3
ADOPTION OF 1994 EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE PLAN
On March 23, 1994, the Board of Directors adopted the Universal Health
Services Executive Incentive Plan (the "Executive Incentive Plan"), subject to
approval by the Company's stockholders. The purpose of the Executive Incentive
Plan is to provide a formal written program for the granting of annual
performance-based incentive bonuses to senior management and other executive
officers which will be maintained in lieu of the informal incentive bonus
program which presently exists for such high-level personnel. (The informal
bonus program will continue to exist for other personnel.) The following summary
describes the principal features of the Executive Incentive Plan and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the plan document, a copy of which is
attached hereto as Exhibit A.
9
12
The Executive Incentive Plan will be administered by a committee (the
"Committee") of at least two directors, all of whom must be "disinterested
directors" under SEC Rule 16b-3 and "outside directors" within the meaning of
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Bonuses may be awarded under the
Executive Incentive Plan to members of senior management and other executive
officers of the Company and its affiliates. The Committee will establish annual
performance targets based upon net income and/or return on capital, as defined
in the plan document. The Committee will also establish potential bonus amounts,
expressed as a percentage of each participant's base salary and determined with
reference to actual performance relative to the pre-established performance
targets. The performance targets and potential bonus amounts may vary from year
to year and from participant to participant, all as determined by the Committee.
Under the Company's 1992 Stock Bonus Plan, as amended, 20% of each participant's
Executive Incentive Plan bonus will be payable in stock, and each participant
will be entitled to receive a stock bonus premium, payable in Common Stock of
the Company, equal to 4% of the Participant's Executive Incentive Plan bonus. No
participant may receive a bonus under the Executive Incentive Plan for any year
which is more than 125% of the participant's base salary for the year (130%
after giving effect to the stock bonus premium which would be payable under the
Company's 1992 Stock Bonus Plan). For purposes of applying this percentage
limitation, the maximum amount of a participant's base salary which may be taken
into account for a given year (starting with 1994) may not exceed 125% of the
participant's base salary for the preceding year. Section 162(m) of the Internal
Revenue Code imposes a $1,000,000 limitation on the deductibility of
compensation paid to certain executives for taxable years beginning after 1993.
The deduction limitation does not apply to certain "performance-based
compensation" which is approved by a committee of outside directors and which is
disclosed to and approved by stockholders. Based upon regulations recently
proposed by the Treasury Department, the Company anticipates that, if the
Executive Incentive Plan is approved, incentive compensation paid thereunder
will qualify as performance-based compensation which is not subject to the
executive compensation deduction limitation.
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Common Stock
represented in person or by proxy at the 1994 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is
required for the approval of the Executive Incentive Plan.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS DEEMS PROPOSAL NO. 3 TO BE IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF
THE COMPANY AND ITS STOCKHOLDERS AND RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" APPROVAL THEREOF.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT
The Company and Alan B. Miller have entered into an employment contract
pursuant to which Mr. Miller will act as President and Chief Executive Officer
of the Company until December 31, 1997, which period is subject to extension at
the option of Mr. Miller or the Company until December 31, 2002. In addition,
the Agreement provides for a five-year consulting arrangement commencing upon
termination of Mr. Miller's active employment, during which period he will be
paid an annual fee equal to one-half of his base salary at the date of
expiration of the term of active employment. During the period of his active
employment, Mr. Miller is entitled to a salary of $675,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1992, increased in each year thereafter by an amount equal to not
less than the percentage increase in the consumer price index over the previous
year. Mr. Miller is also entitled to an annual bonus of at least $100,000 and
payment of insurance premiums, including income tax reimbursements, of $13,674
per annum, as well as such other compensation as the Board of Directors may
determine in its discretion. Mr. Miller may be discharged only for cause or
permanent disability.
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 the Company may receive retirement income
benefits. The monthly benefit is payable to a participant who retires after he
or she reaches age 62 and is equal to 3% of the employee's average monthly base
salary over the three years preceding retirement multiplied by the number of
full years (not to exceed 10) of the participant's active employment following
the first 10 years of the participant's employment with the Company. 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. The estimated annual benefits payable (for
the 60 months in which the participant receives benefits) upon retirement at age
65 for each of Alan B. Miller, Kirk E. Gorman, Thomas J. Bender, Richard C.
Wright and Michael G. Servais, assuming their annual compensation increases by
4% annually,
13
16
would be $280,439, $133,507, $117,813, $88,023 and $81,516, respectively. If an
employee ceases employment with the Company prior to age 62, no retirement
income will be payable to the participant unless the Board of Directors
determines otherwise.
COMMITTEE REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS
The report of the Compensation and Stock Option Committee shall not be
deemed incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by
reference this proxy statement into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, or under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except to
the extent that the Company specifically incorporates this information by
reference, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under such Acts.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
The Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the Board of Directors was
comprised during 1993 of three non-employee directors. Anthony Pantaleoni, a
member of the Committee, is a partner in Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P., which
serves as the Company's principal outside counsel.
COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY
The Compensation Committee regularly reviews and, with any changes it
believes appropriate, approves the Company's compensation program. The Company
believes that executive compensation should be closely related to the value
delivered to stockholders. This belief has been adhered to by developing
incentive pay programs which provide competitive compensation and reflect
Company performance. Both short-term and long-term incentive compensation are
based on Company performance and the value received by stockholders.
In designing its compensation programs, the Company follows its belief that
compensation should reflect the value created for stockholders while supporting
the Company's strategic business goals. In doing so, the compensation programs
reflect the following themes:
- Compensation should encourage increased stockholder value.
- Compensation programs should support the short-term and long-term
strategic business goals and objectives of the Company.
- Compensation programs should reflect and promote the Company's values,
and reward individuals for outstanding contributions toward business
goals.
- Compensation programs should enable the Company to attract and retain
highly qualified professionals.
PAY MIX AND MEASUREMENT
The Company's executive compensation is based on three components, each of
which is intended to serve the overall compensation philosophy.
BASE SALARY
The Company's salary levels are intended to be consistent with competitive
pay practices and level of responsibility, with salary increases reflecting
competitive trends, the overall financial performance of the Company, the
performance of the individual executive and general economic conditions.
14
17
SHORT-TERM INCENTIVES
At the start of each fiscal year, during the budgeting process, target
levels of net income and return on assets for the Company as a whole ("Company
Targets") and target levels of net income for each of the Company's individual
divisions and facilities ("Division Targets") are established by senior
management of the Company and approved by the Board of Directors.
All senior executives of the Company, including heads of divisions and
facilities have the opportunity to earn as a bonus for a fiscal year an amount
equal to a portion of their base salary for that fiscal year, depending on
whether and to what extent the Company Targets and/or the Division Targets are
achieved. For 1994 and future years, this program will be formalized for
officers of the Company in the 1994 Executive Incentive Plan. For fiscal 1993,
(i) Alan B. Miller, the Company's Chairman and President, was entitled to a
bonus of up to 50% of his base salary if the Company Targets were achieved, (ii)
Kirk E. Gorman, the Company's Senior Vice President, was entitled to a bonus of
up to 40% of his base salary if the Company Targets were achieved and (iii)
Thomas J. Bender, Richard C. Wright and Michael G. Servais, Vice Presidents of
the Company, were entitled to a bonus of up to 35% of their respective base
salaries if the Company Targets and the Division Targets were achieved.
Seventy-five percent (75%) of Messrs. Bender, Wright and Servais' respective
bonuses were to be determined based on the achievement of the Division Targets,
and the remaining 25% of such bonuses were to be determined based on the
achievement of the Company Targets. The Compensation Committee elected to
increase the bonus amounts paid to Messrs. Miller and Gorman by 20%. In the
event the Company Targets and/or the Division Targets are exceeded, the senior
executives can earn up to 250% of his or her base bonus.
LONG-TERM INCENTIVES
Stock options are granted from time to time to reward key employees'
contributions. The grant of options is based primarily on a key employee's
potential contribution to the Company's growth and profitability. Options are
granted at the prevailing market value of the Company's Common Stock and will
only have value if the Company's stock price increases. Generally, grants of
options vest in equal amounts over four years and executives must be employed by
the Company for such options to vest.
1993 COMPENSATION
The base salary for the Chairman and President was increased during 1993 to
$710,004. This represents a 4% increase over 1992. Further, the bonus of the
Chairman and President for 1993, determined as set forth above, was $426,000
(including $85,200 in restricted stock), reflecting 60% of his base salary. It
was the policy of the Compensation Committee to make every effort not to lower
base salaries for those executives and employees considered by the Board of
Directors to be important contributors to the Company's growth and development.
However, it has been the policy of the Board of Directors generally, as
implemented by the Compensation Committee, not to give raises in excess of
inflation unless required to meet competitive conditions.
1994 COMPENSATION
The Board of Directors has asked the Compensation and Stock Option
Committee to determine salaries and bonus targets prior to the start of each
fiscal year to conform the Company's procedures to recent changes in the tax
law. A subcommittee consisting of Messrs. Cronkhite and Hotz will establish
these targets pursuant to the 1994 Executive Compensation Plan in March 1994 for
the 1994 calendar year and in December of each
15
18
year commencing in December 1994 for future years. The Committee expects to
continue the basic policies outlined above.
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. As performance goals are met or
exceeded, resulting in increased value to stockholders, executives are rewarded
commensurately. The Compensation Committee believes that compensation levels
during 1993 adequately reflect the Company's compensation goals and policies.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Meetings of the Board. Regular meetings of the Board are generally held
every other month, while special meetings are called when necessary. Before each
Board or Committee meeting, directors are furnished with an agenda and
background materials relating to matters to be discussed. During 1993, there
were seven Board meetings. All current directors attended more than 75% of the
meetings of the Board and of committees of the Board on which they served,
except for John H. Herrell, who was appointed as a director in November 1993.
The Executive Committee, the Compensation and Stock Option Committee, the
Audit Committee, and the Finance Committee are the standing committees of the
Board of Directors, and may meet concurrently with the Board of Directors'
meetings.
Executive Committee. The Executive Committee has the responsibility,
between meetings of the Board of Directors of the Company, to advise and aid the
officers of the Company in all matters concerning the management of the business
and, while the Board is not in session, has the power and authority of the Board
to the fullest extent permitted under law. The Executive Committee did not meet
in 1993. Members of the Committee are Alan B. Miller, Leonard W. Cronkhite, Jr.,
M.D., and Anthony Pantaleoni.
Compensation and Stock Option Committee. The Compensation and Stock Option
Committee has responsibility for reviewing and recommending to the Board of
Directors the compensation levels of officers and directors of the Company and
its subsidiaries and the administration of the 1985 Non-Statutory Stock Option
Plan, the 1990 Employees' Restricted Stock Purchase Plan, the 1992 Corporate
Ownership Program, the 1992 Stock Bonus Plan, and the 1992 Stock Option Plan.
This Committee met once in 1993. The members of this Committee are Leonard W.
Cronkhite, Jr., M.D., Anthony Pantaleoni, and Robert H. Hotz. A subcommittee of
the Compensation and Stock Option Committee, comprised of Messrs. Cronkhite and
Hotz, will administer the 1994 Executive Incentive Plan.
Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is responsible for providing
assistance to the Board of Directors in fulfilling its responsibilities relating
to corporate accounting and reporting practices and to maintain a direct line of
communication between the directors and the independent accountants. It
recommends the firm to be appointed independent auditor, reviews the scope and
results of the audit with the independent auditors and considers the adequacy of
the internal accounting and control procedures of the Company. The Audit
Committee met twice in 1993. Members of this Committee are Leonard W. Cronkhite,
Jr., M.D., Martin Meyerson, and John H. Herrell.
Finance Committee. The Finance Committee is responsible for reviewing the
Company's cash flow and capital commitments and is charged with overseeing its

21
RELATIONSHIP WITH INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
Arthur Andersen & Co. has been retained by the Board of Directors, on the
recommendation of the Audit Committee, to perform all accounting and audit
services during the 1994 fiscal year. It is anticipated that representatives of
Arthur Andersen & Co. 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.
EXPENSES FOR PROXY SOLICITATION
The principal solicitation of proxies is being made by mail; however,
certain officers, directors and employees of the Company, none of whom will
receive additional compensation therefor, may solicit proxies by telegram,
telephone or other personal contact. The Company 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.
DATE FOR RECEIPT OF STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS
FOR PRESENTATION AT 1995 ANNUAL MEETING
Any proposal that a stockholder wishes to present for consideration at the
1995 Annual Meeting must be received by the Company no later than December 23,
1994. This date provides sufficient time for inclusion of the proposal in the
1995 proxy materials.

EXHIBIT A
UNIVERSAL HEALTH SERVICES
1994 EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE PLAN
1. Purpose. The purpose of the Plan is to foster the ability of the
Company and its Affiliates 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 bonuses.
2. Definitions. Wherever used herein, the masculine includes the
feminine, the singular includes the plural, and the following terms have the
following meanings unless a different meaning is clearly required by the
context.
(a) "Affiliate" means any entity (whether or not incorporated) which
is required to be aggregated with the Company under Section 414(b) or
414(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code").
(b) "Board" means the Board of Directors of the Company.
(c) "Company" means Universal Health Services, Inc.
(d) "Committee" means the administrative committee appointed by the
Board in accordance with the provisions hereof.
(e) "Compensation" means the base salary of a Participant for a
calendar year, determined as of the beginning of the calendar year and
without regard to increases, if any, made during the calendar year.
(f) "Net Income" means the net income of the Company or of an
Affiliate, division, hospital or other units, as determined by the
Committee.
(g) "Participant" means, with respect to any calendar year, an
individual who is designated by the Committee as eligible to receive an
incentive bonus for the year upon achievement of the applicable performance
conditions.
(h) "Plan" means the incentive compensation plan as set forth herein
and any amendments thereto.
(i) "Return on Capital" means Net Income divided by the quarterly
average net capital of the Company or of an Affiliate, division, hospital
or other unit, as determined by the Committee.
3. Administration. The Plan will be administered by a committee
consisting of at least two directors appointed by and serving at the pleasure of
the Board. Each member of the Committee will be a "disinterested director"
within the meaning and for the purposes of Rule 16b-3 issued by the Securities
and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and an
"outside director" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. Subject to
the provisions of the Plan, the Committee, acting in its sole and absolute
discretion, will have full power and authority to interpret, construe and apply
the provisions of the Plan and to take such action as may be necessary or
desirable in order to carry out the provisions of the Plan. A majority of the
members of the Committee will constitute a quorum. The Committee may act by the
vote of a majority of its members present at a meeting at which there is a
quorum or by unanimous written consent. The Committee will keep a record of its
proceedings and acts and will keep or cause to be kept such books and records as
may be necessary in connection with the proper administration of the Plan. The
Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Committee and any
employee or director of the Company or an Affiliate to whom any duty or power
relating to the administration or interpretation of the Plan is delegated from
and against any loss, cost, liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a
claim with the
A-1
23
approval of the Board), damage and expense (including legal and other expenses
incident thereto) arising out of or incurred in connection with the Plan, unless
and except to the extent attributable to such person's fraud or wilful
misconduct.
4. Eligibility. Annual incentive bonuses may be awarded under the Plan to
any person who is a member of the senior management of the Company and to other
executive officers of the Company or an Affiliate. Subject to the provisions
hereof, the Committee will select the persons to whom incentive bonuses may be
awarded for any calendar year and will fix the terms and conditions of each such
award.
5. Annual Performance Bonus. The amount of a Participant's incentive
bonus for a year will be equal to the Participant's base bonus amount (described
in (a) below) multiplied by the applicable performance factor (described in (b)
below).
(a) Base Bonus Amount. For each calendar year, the Committee will
establish the amount of bonus ("base bonus amount") which will be payable
to a Participant if the performance goals for the year are met. A
Participant's base bonus amount will be expressed as a percentage of the
Participant's Compensation, which percentage may vary from year to year and
may be different for each Participant or class of Participants, all as
determined by the Committee.
(b) Applicable Performance Factor. For each calendar year, the
Committee will establish performance targets based upon the following
business criteria: increase in Net Income from the preceding calendar year,
and Return on Capital. As to any Participant or class of Participants, the
performance targets may be based upon either or both of such criteria and
on Company-wide figures, local or divisional figures, or a combination
thereof. If a Participant's performance targets for a calendar year are
achieved, then the Participant will be entitled to receive an incentive
bonus equal to 100% of the Participant's base bonus amount for the year. No
incentive bonus will be payable for a year if neither performance target is
achieved, and a performance bonus (which may be greater than 100% of a
Participant's base bonus amount) may be payable if either or both
performance targets are exceeded for a calendar year, all in accordance
with a Company performance matrix established by the Committee.
(c) Performance Conditions to be Pre-Established. Performance
targets, as well as percentage factors used to determine base bonus amounts
and performance percentages with respect to any calendar year will be
established in writing by the Committee before the beginning of that
calendar year; provided, however, that the Committee may establish any one
or more of said factors during the calendar year if and to the extent
permitted by the Treasury Department pursuant to Section 162(m) of the
Code.
(d) Payment of Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in the Company's 1992 Stock Bonus Plan, an amount equal to 20% of
a Participant's incentive bonus for a calendar year will be payable in the
form of Common Stock of the Company and no election may be made by the
Participant to receive a greater portion of his or her incentive bonus in
such form. Subject to the provisions of the 1992 Stock Bonus Plan, a
Participant will be entitled to receive an additional bonus, payable in the
form of shares of Common Stock of the Company, equal to 4% of the
Participant's incentive bonus (determined without regard to this section).
(e) Limitation on Amount of Incentive Bonuses. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the maximum incentive bonus
which any Participant may earn hereunder for any calendar year is an amount
equal to 125% of the Participant's Compensation for that calendar year
(130% after taking into account the stock bonus premium described in the
preceding subsection). For purposes of the preceding sentence, a
Participant's Compensation for any calendar year will be disregarded to the
A-2
24
extent it is greater than 125% of the Participant's Compensation
(determined with regard to this sentence) for the preceding calendar year.
6. Calculation and Payment of Performance Bonus. As soon as practicable
after the end of each calendar year, the Committee, based upon the Company's
financial statements for the year, will determine the amount, if any, of the
incentive bonus payable to each Participant for that calendar year. A
Participant's incentive bonus for a calendar year will be paid to the
Participant at such time as the Committee determines; provided, however, that
the Committee may authorize an advance payment based upon its preliminary
calculations, and provided further that the Committee may establish a procedure
pursuant to which payment of all or a portion of a Participant's incentive bonus
for a calendar year will be deferred. Unless the Committee determines otherwise,
no incentive bonus will be payable to a Participant with respect to a calendar
year if the Participant's employment with the Company and its Affiliates
terminates at any time prior to the payment thereof.
7. Amendment or Termination. The Board may amend or terminate the Plan at
any time.
8. Governing Law. The Plan and each award made under the Plan shall be
governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, it being understood, however,
that incentive bonuses awarded and paid under the Plan are intended to
constitute "performance-based compensation" within the meaning of Section 162(m)
of the Code, and the provisions of the Plan and any award made hereunder will be
interpreted and construed accordingly.
9. No Rights Conferred. Nothing contained herein will be deemed to give
any person any right to receive an incentive bonus award under the Plan or to be
retained in the employ or service of the Company or any Affiliate.
10. Decisions of the Board or Committee to be Final. Any decision or
determination made by the Board pursuant to the provisions hereof and, except to
the extent rights or powers under the Plan are reserved specifically to the
discretion of the Board, all decisions and determinations of the Committee
hereunder, shall be final and binding.
