A Harris Medical Plan election is required or you will default to no coverage, effective January 1, 2015. 2 NEWS AND WHAT’S NEW FOR 2015 Annual enrollment for Harris pre-age 65 retiree healthcare benefits will begin on November 17 and extend through December 2, 2014. Since your retiree healthcare benefits were effective prior to January 1, 2015, you can choose to enroll in Harris group healthcare plans until you are Medicare eligible or, if earlier, such time that these plans are no longer offered. Your pre-Medicare dependents can also continue to be covered by Harris plans as long as they were enrolled prior to January 1, 2015. 3 You also have the option of exploring and purchasing coverage in the healthcare marketplace. Harris has arranged for OneExchange to assist you, should you wish; however, you are free to select coverage through another source. You can also place your dependents’ coverage through OneExchange. OneExchange — Harris has arranged for our eligible retirees and enrolled dependents to use the services of this large healthcare marketplace to find individual policies that suit personal needs and preferences. Harris will pay OneExchange for these services. See page 14 for contact information. 2015 enrollment for non-Medicare retirees and non-Medicare dependents — If you do not actively enroll in the Harris Medical Plan, you will default to no coverage and you cannot enroll in the Harris plan again. An active election is also required for either dental or vision. However, if you want either Harris dental or vision coverage, you must be enrolled in the Harris Medical Plan. If you remain in the Harris Medical Plan, you’ll want to know about these enhancements: •A second dental option provides a new coverage alternative at a lower cost •A new vision plan provides enhanced benefits and •New radiology options in Brevard County, FL, offer more consumer choice. (See the retiree website, http://harris.com/retiree, for details.) Medicare-eligible dependents — Harris group healthcare benefits will be discontinued for Medicare-eligible individuals as of January 1, 2015. You can enroll your Medicare-eligible dependents in individual coverage, if you wish, through OneExchange. Learn more about 2015 Harris healthcare benefits on the pages that follow. MEDICAL AND PHARMACY OPTIONS US FOC IS! H ON T ✓ You must actively enroll in Harris medical and pharmacy coverage or you will not be covered by Harris’ group benefits. ✓ ✓ OAP 1 will be eliminated. ✓ The pharmacy options will add a $5,000 pharmacy family out-of-pocket maximum. ✓ 4 You’ll have the opportunity to create your Harris Medical Plan for 2015 by selecting one medical option (from three choices) and one pharmacy option (from three choices). Medical options — You will have three plans from which to choose. As of January 1, 2015, OAP 1 will be eliminated but OAPs 2, 3 and 4 will remain the same. Pharmacy options — A $5,000 family out-ofpocket limit will apply, providing protection in years when a family experiences extremely high prescription drug expenditures. Also in 2015, there will be changes to the prescription drug formulary. Details on page 7. All options provide innetwork care through the Cigna Open Access Plus (OAP) network. The prescription drug formulary (list of covered drugs) will change in 2015. Please note: As we communicated to you in the summer, Harris has been heavily subsidizing our pre-age 65 healthcare benefits due to dramatic increases in healthcare costs in recent years. Although Harris is reducing our subsidies for these plans to better align them with their original intent — a “retiree-pay-all” group healthcare plan with no explicit Harris subsidy — we will still be subsidizing these plans in 2015. Harris will continue to increase the cost of these plans until they are no longer subsidized, that is, when retirees in the plan pay enough premiums to cover the cost of all claims. See page 11 for plan pricing. Your Other Choice — OneExchange In addition to your Harris group healthcare plan choices, you can also explore individual policies in the healthcare marketplace with the assistance of OneExchange. You may find more choice and lower premiums through the marketplace. It’s worth taking a look to see what’s available to you. OneExchange enrollment will extend from November 17 through December 15, 2014. See page 14 for contact information. Once you opt out of Harris’ group healthcare plans, you cannot enroll in these plans again. You are not required to use OneExchange to find alternate coverage. continued... Decision Points Assess your Medical Plan choices by factoring in these six decision points. 1 2 3 Premiums and plan use — When you make your medical and pharmacy elections, you are committing to pay set premiums for a calendar year. Your premiums must be paid whether or not you use the Medical Plan. Out-of-pocket expenses — Under any medical and pharmacy option, you will have potential out-of-pocket expenses. Whether a copay, deductible or coinsurance, each represents money that you must pay. Lower premium plans typically have higher potential out-of-pocket expenses. Net costs — Premiums plus out-of-pocket expenses create your net cost for the year. They go hand-in-hand and you really can’t assess the true price of an option unless you factor in both. Your net costs will not necessarily be less under the plan that provides the highest coverage level (OAP 2) since that option has the highest premiums. Based on your plan use, one of the other options may be a better financial decision for you. Net cost made easy! Let the Medical Cost Estimator do the math. It’s located under the Tools & Resources tab on the top of the enrollment website. Reach the website from http://benefits.harris.com, beginning November 17. 5 4 5 6 Financial risks — Under any medical and pharmacy option, you will have a level of financial risk. If you are willing to accept more risk (e.g., higher deductibles and out-of-pocket limits), you can benefit from lower set premiums and vice versa. In any event, it’s important to remember that in years when you experience high medical expenses, all of your plan options have an important financial safety net — your out-of-pocket limit. After it’s met, subsequent eligible expenses are covered at 100% for the rest of the calendar year. Cash flow — When creating your Medical Plan, it’s best to look at the potential financial risks and assess the level up to which you can self-insure your care. If you have limited cash flow or financial reserves, you might be more comfortable in a plan that has higher premiums and generally lower out-of-pocket costs. Consumerism and wellness — One way to keep your healthcare costs in check is to adopt or refine your healthcare consumer skills (e.g., selecting the best setting for your care, comparing providers’ outcomes and costs for specific services, using consumer tools, purchasing generic drugs, etc.). Another is to improve your health by managing chronic conditions, accessing appropriate preventive care and making sound lifestyle choices. The more you manage your healthcare and your health plan, the more you can stay in touch with your health and impact your healthcare costs each year. continued...

Pharmacy Option Designs You will pair your choice of option — either Pharmacy 1, 2 or 3 — with your medical option. Please note that even though benefit levels are the same for each pharmacy option (same copays and coinsurance), there is a difference in the pharmacy networks. 2015 PHARMACY OPTIONS Plan Benefit Pharmacy access Annual pharmacy out-of-pocket maximum Pharmacy 1 Pharmacy 2 Pharmacy 3 Generic: $7 Formulary: 20%, $25 min. and $75 max.

Most drugs on the current formulary will continue to be covered; however, some will have a status change (e.g., from preferred to non-preferred) and others will no longer be covered. If you are impacted, you will be contacted by Express Scripts soon and presented with alternatives to discuss with your physician. You can see the new formulary through the retiree website at http://harris.com/retiree. Keep in mind, however, formularies are regularly updated to include new drugs, drugs that have become generics as well as drugs that experience a change in coverage status. DENTAL PLAN The Harris Dental Plan will offer two options in 2015 — Dental 1, the current plan, and the new Dental 2. Both options are administered by MetLife and give you access to the Preferred Dentist Program (PDP). These are the three areas where Dental 2 differs from Dental 1: •Orthodontia is not covered •Basic restorative care is paid at 50% instead of 80%, and •The annual maximum is lower at $1,000 instead of $1,500. These differences allow Harris to charge lower premiums for Dental 2. Depending on your dental benefit use, Dental 2 might be a choice worth considering. 2015 DENTAL OPTIONS…QUICK COMPARISON Features Dental 1 Dental 2 Preventive care 100% 100% Basic restorative care (fillings, root canals) 80% 50% Major restorative care (crowns, bridges) 50% 50% Orthodontia for children (limits apply) 50% 0% Annual deductible (applies to basic and major restorative care) •Individual •Family $ 50 $100 $ 50 $100 $1,500 $1,000 Annual maximum per person for preventive and restorative care You must be enrolled in the Harris group Medical Plan to select Harris dental benefits.
