Item 5.02.
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements Of Certain Officers.
    
On June 28, 2018, the Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors of Tenet Healthcare Corporation (the “Company”) approved an award (the “Incremental RSU Award”) of 51,146 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to Ronald A. Rittenmeyer, the Company’s Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The grant date for this award is the last trading day in June, in accordance with the Company’s policy for equity grants awarded outside of the annual grant cycle.

On February 28, 2018 (the “Original Approval Date”), the Human Resources Committee approved, among other things, an award (the “Original RSU Award”) of RSUs to Mr. Rittenmeyer with a grant date fair value of $7,000,000, subject to the terms of the Employment Agreement, dated as of March 24, 2018, between the Company and Mr. Rittenmeyer. The grant date for the Original RSU Award was March 29, 2018 (the “Original Grant Date”), the last trading day in March, and the number of RSUs received by Mr. Rittenmeyer was calculated by dividing the grant date fair value of the Original RSU Award by the closing market price of a share of the Company’s common stock on the Original Grant Date. This resulted in Mr. Rittenmeyer being granted 288,660 RSUs pursuant to the Original RSU Award. However, the Human Resources Committee intended for Mr. Rittenmeyer to receive the number of RSUs calculated by dividing the grant date fair value of the Original RSU Award by the closing market price of a share of the Company’s common stock on the Original Approval Date, which would have resulted in the issuance of 339,806 RSUs to Mr. Rittenmeyer pursuant to the Original RSU Award. The purpose of the Incremental RSU Award is to issue to Mr. Rittenmeyer the additional RSUs that would have been issued to him had the number of RSUs granted pursuant to the Original RSU Award been determined using the closing market price of a share of the Company’s common stock on the Original Approval Date.
