ENROLLMENT

KAI 2022 ENROLLMENT • PLANNING FOR YOUR BENEFITS

2022 Important Plan Information The Company continues to subsidize a significant portion of the cost for both the medical and dental plans. Medical premiums have increased for 2022 due to continued increases in the cost of healthcare. These cost increases are based largely on the utilization of benefits. We continue to share in the increased costs with employees, in most cases KAI contributes over 80% of the premium. For more specific information on the 2022 rates please see the rate section in this booklet. We believe each employee has different healthcare needs so we encourage you to take a fresh look at all of your benefit options and use the tools provided to make the best decisions for you and your family. • Employee Dental & Vision Premiums • The KAI Dental and Vision plan employee premiums will not increase in 2022. • Employee Medical Premiums • Employee and Employer cost share increases for KAI medical plans. • Flexible Spending Account (FSA) • The KAI FSA Healthcare limit will remain $2,750 for 2022. • The KAI FSA Dependent Care limit will remain at $5,000.

How To Enroll During the open enrollment period October 25 – November 5

• Health Savings Account (HSA) • The HSA IRS limit increased to $3,650 for single (employee only) coverage and $7,300 for employee +1 or family coverage in 2022. The catch-up contribution for those over age 55 will remain at $1,000. • Dental, Vision and Child Life Eligibility • You can enroll your dependents in Dental, Vision and/or Child Life coverage up to age 26 — which is consistent with the medical plan.

Enrollment Deadlines

Benefit Eligibility

You have an opportunity to elect your health and welfare coverage as a new hire and during the annual enrollment period, typically in the fall each year. Remember — you cannot make changes until next year’s annual open enrollment period unless you experience a qualified life status change. Enrollment or changes in your 401(k) Retirement Plan can be made at any time.

Employees must be actively employed and meet other eligibility requirements to be eligible for the KAI Benefit Plans. Medical, Dental, Vision, and Life Insurance (including AD&D) coverage is also available for eligible family members. Here are the family members who are eligible for coverage:

Participants Who Experience a Qualified Life Status Change

FAMILY MEMBER

Your Children Including:

Children must be dependents for whom you have legal custody and:

• Biological, adopted and step children • Disabled children dependent on you for support

• Under age 26 for Medical, Dental, Vision and Child Life • A disabled child of any age

• Children for whom you have legal custody or that you are required to cover under a Qualified Medical Child Support Order (QMCSO) Your Domestic Partner

• A change in legal marital status (marriage, divorce or legal separation) • You are not permitted to keep a former spouse on your coverage. After a divorce a former spouse is no longer an eligible dependent. • A change in the number of dependents (birth/adoption or placement of adoption of a child, dependent satisfies or ceases to satisfy eligibility requirements) • A change in employment status (for you, your spouse or your dependent that affects healthcare coverage, e.g. if your spouse loses coverage elsewhere) Changes to your benefit election must be consistent with your qualified life event, e.g. you are covered under your spouse’s medical plan but your spouse loses coverage so you wish to enroll for coverage for you and your spouse and eligible dependents. To make benefit election changes, access your Workday profile and submit a Life Status Change event within 31 days of the qualified life event. Once approved, coverage is retroactive to the date of your qualified life event.

Must submit an Affidavit of Domestic Partnership and a Declaration of Tax Status.

Medical Benefits KAI offers two medical plan options to employees. Election of the benefit is voluntary and the company pays a significant portion of the cost of coverage. Employee contributions for medical benefits are made on a pre-tax basis unless otherwise stated. Once elected, changes to medical plan options cannot be made during the plan year 2022 unless you experience a qualified life status change. Medical coverage is provided through UnitedHealthcare (UHC).The charts on the following pages show a summary of the two plan options.

Staying well is the best protection against disease. Here is how our Healthcare can help: • Use the Preventive Benefits. These benefits are designed to assess your current health and put you in a position to improve it. They cost you nothing additional and can identify a potential issue before it becomes a costly event. Staying in your best shape puts you in a good place to fight off disease and manage any longer term issues as well. To see what preventative care is recommended at a given age, please refer to www.uhcpreventivecare.com. This may help you understand what may be covered before you go to your annual visit. • Try In-Home Virtual Doctor Visits. Instead of sitting in a provider’s waiting room for a non-emergency appointment, try a virtual visit. Virtual visits are completed via video call from your home and are available any time. They can provide top-notch care, typically are much quicker service and are often less expensive than an in-person visit, convenience clinic or emergency room. If it is a true emergency, dial 911. • Use Mail Order Drug Prescription for At Home Delivery. In addition to asking for Tier 1 prescription drugs when filling regularly needed prescriptions, consider at home drug delivery. It can save you time, often money and is conveniently delivered to your mailbox. To learn more, please refer to the Drug Pricing tool at www.myuhc.com in order to search for medications before filling a prescription at the pharmacy. Pricing is based on your specific benefit plan and will include mail order cost and local retail pharmacy cost. The tool will also display any lower cost options to help you make informed decisions about your medication options. • Stay Informed About COVID-19. As the situation with COVID-19 changes, you can remain informed and receive up-to-date information through the resources below.

UHC’s COVID-19 Resource Center www.uhc.com/health-and-wellness/health-topics/covid-19

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) www.cdc.gov

Refer to the Summary Plan Description (SPD) and the Summary of Benefits Coverage (SBC) located in Workday (under Apps and Benefit Documents) for additional information and details on plan coverage provisions and expense.

HSA

KAI 2022 ENROLLMENT • PLANNING FOR YOUR BENEFITS

What is a Health Savings Account (HSA)? A health savings account can only be used with a High Deductible Healthcare Plan. Money saved in this account can be used to pay for qualified medical, dental and vision expenses not typically covered by the plan like deductibles, copays, coinsurance and more. HSAs have triple tax protection. The money goes into the account tax free. It can be invested and grow tax free. And, when you use it for your healthcare expenses, it comes out tax free. There is no use it or lose it provision either. Money in the account can be rolled over from year to year if it is not used. You also have access to the funds at anytime, even if you leave Kao or retire, as long as it is for qualified healthcare expenses… even to pay healthcare premiums such as Medicare. The account is totally portable.

Contributions In 2022 you can contribute pre-tax up to $3,650 for single (employee only) coverage and $7,300 for employee + 1 or family coverage, for family plans. If you are older than age 55, you may also invest an additional $1,000 as a catch up contribution. This limit includes both your contribution and the KAI matching contributions. Your contributions may be made through payroll deduction or you can also contribute a lump sum taxdeductible deposit on your own. The amount you contribute can change throughout the year so you either increase or decrease that amount. KAI will make a one-time contribution of $500 for employees who enroll in the HDHP in 2022. In addition, KAI makes a $1 for $1 match on payroll contributions to your account up to $1,000 each year for a annual company contribution of up to $1,500. Remember, both employee and employer contributions count toward the annual contribution limit.

Rules About HSAs You cannot be covered under another group health plan or have other first coverage unless it is also a High Deductible Healthcare Plan. If you are covered under Medicare, you can enroll in the HDHP but you and Kao cannot contribute funds to an HSA. You may not contribute to both the HSA and a healthcare Flexible Spending Account (FSA). When enrolled in the HDHP, you may contribute to the HSA which provides taxfree savings. In addition, you may still have a dependent care flexible spending account.

FSA

FSA Claims Deadlines FSA eligible claims must be incurred between January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022. You may file claims at any time during the year however; you only have until March 31, 2023 to request reimbursement of a claim. Unclaimed funds will be forfeited.

Flexible Spending Account KAI provides you the opportunity to budget your out-of-pocket health and dependent care expenses through pre-tax saving in a flexible spending account (FSA). Pre-tax contributions to the account can save you from 20-40% in payroll taxes. This account is administered by WEX Benefits (formerly Discovery Benefits).

Know the Rules Your FSA can only be elected if you are a new hire or during the annual open enrollment period unless you experience a qualified life status change. Any money saved in the accounts must be claimed by the reimbursement deadlines or it will be forfeited. Click customerservice@wexhealth.com regarding customer service and/or www.wexinc.com for claim submission. You may participate in a Healthcare Flexible Spending Account if: • You are enrolled in the PPO medical plan • You are not enrolled in a KAI medical plan • You are enrolled in a spouse or partner’s POS or PPO medical plan • You are not enrolled in a High Deductible Healthcare Plan either at Kao or through a spouse/partner You may elect a Dependent Care FSA regardless of your medical coverage.

Using an FSA Debit Card Once enrolled, you will receive a debit card (for Healthcare FSA and Dependent Care FSA) which may be used to make purchases at qualified retailers for qualified expenses. Even if you use the debit card to make purchases you will still need to submit the receipts through the claims process. Keep in mind however; you may not use your Debit Card to be reimbursed for prescribed over the counter medications and products. For over the counter items, you must submit a paper claim form available on www.wexinc.com. Forms MUST be submitted with your health provider’s prescription and cash register receipts.

Access your FSA benefits on the go 24/7 with the WEX Benefits mobile app. This free app gives you convenient, real-time access to all your FSA benefit accounts in one spot.

Deductions that are generally made from your pay check on a regular basis will continue to be made while on the Short-Term Disability program.

Long-Term Disability Benefits Long-Term Disability (LTD) provides for continuance of a portion of your income should you be unable to work due to a disability. Long-Term Disability benefits, if approved, typically begin once your short-term disability benefits are exhausted. The companypaid benefit will be equal to 50% of your annual base wages up to a maximum benefit of $3,000 per month.

Employee Assistance Program The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is provided by ComPsych® GuidanceResources and offers counseling, legal and financial consultation, work-life assistance and crisis intervention services to all our employees and their household family members. We provide the EAP because we care about our employees and their dependents. The EAP can be used free of charge as needed when you or your dependents are facing emotional, financial, legal or other concerns.

Services are confidential. The EAP is strictly confidential. No information about your participation in the program is provided to your employer.

Stress & Coping with COVID-19

There are many reasons to use the EAP.

The pandemic has disrupted our routines and made many of our every day tasks harder. Our EAP can help you manage the demands of our time and

• Are feeling overwhelmed by the demands of balancing work and family

the first six visits are FREE!

You may wish to contact the EAP if you: • Are experiencing stress, anxiety or depression • Are dealing with grief and loss • Need assistance with child or elder care concerns • Have legal or financial questions • Have concerns about substance abuse for yourself or a dependent

Here’s what to expect when you call. COVID-19 Coping Tips from Our EAP From eating to sleeping, the stress of our time can impact you in a number of ways. Here are some tips from our EAP on how to quickly destress when anxiety levels rise: • Connect with family and friends through video calls, phone calls, texts or social media. • Take care of yourself and monitor the physical health needs of your family. Eat healthy, drink plenty of water and get enough rest.

When you call, you will speak with a GuidanceConsultantSM, a master’s- or PhDlevel counselor who will collect some general information about you and will talk with you about your needs. The GuidanceConsultant will provide the name of a counselor who can assist you. You can then set up an appointment to speak with the counselor over the phone or schedule a face-to-face visit.

How the services work. First six visits are free. The EAP provides free short-term counseling with counselors in your area who can help you with your emotional concerns. If the counselor determines that your issues can be resolved with short-term counseling, you will receive counseling through the EAP. However, if it is determined that the problem cannot be resolved in short-term counseling in the EAP and you will need longer-term treatment, you will be referred to a specialist early on and your insurance coverage will be activated.

• Unless ill, going outside to exercise and/ or walk the dog is a great activity. Don’t forget to practice social distancing by keeping at least 6 feet away from others and wearing a cloth face covering when in public.

Kao matches 100% of the first 3%, 50% of the next 2%, and 50% of the following 2% (discretionary) you contribute, up to a total of 5% employer match in 2022. In order to receive the full employer match you will want to contribute at least 7%. Matching contributions are calculated at each pay period. In order to get the maximum match, you should spread your contributions out evenly throughout the year. All company contributions are immediately 100% vested.

Important Information about Your Healthcare Rights General Information about Your Rights Federal law provides you with certain rights regarding healthcare benefits. Please review this information to better understand what is available to you under the law.

The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) of 2008, was signed into law on October 3, 2008. Under MHPAEA, group health plans with 51 or more employees, insurance companies and HMO’s offering mental health and substance abuse benefits are no longer allowed to set annual dollar limits, lifetime dollar limits, financial requirements (copays, deductibles, coinsurance, or out-of-pocket expenses) or day and visit maximums on mental health and substance abuse benefits that are more restrictive than those imposed on medical or surgical benefits. A plan that does not impose an annual or lifetime dollar limit on medical and surgical benefits may not impose such a dollar limit on mental health or substance abuse benefits offered under the plan.

Special Enrollment If you are declining enrollment for yourself or your dependents (including your spouse) because of other health insurance coverage, you may in the future be able to enroll yourself or your dependents in the plan, provided that your request enrollment within 31 days after your other coverage ends (COBRA or state continuation coverage ends, divorce, legal separation, death, termination of employment or reduction in hours worked; or because the employer contributions cease). In addition, if you have a new dependent as a result of marriage, birth, adoption or placement for adoption, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents, provided that you request enrollment within 31 days after the marriage, birth, adoption or placement for adoption. If you or your dependent lose coverage under a Medicaid Plan or Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), or become eligible for group health plan premium assistance under a Medicaid Plan or under the CHIP, you may request enrollment within 60 days after coverage under the Medicaid or CHIP ends or within 60 after you or your dependent is determined to be eligible for state premium assistance under CHIP.

Women’s Health & Cancer Rights Act On October 21, 1998 Congress passed a bill called the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act. This law requires group health plans that provide coverage for mastectomy to provide coverage for certain reconstructive services. These services include: • Reconstruction of the breast upon which the mastectomy has been performed, • Surgery/reconstruction of the other breast to produce a symmetrical appearance, • Prostheses, and • Physical complications during all stages of mastectomy, including lymph edemas In addition, the plan may not: • Interfere with a woman’s rights under the plan to avoid these requirements, or • Offer inducements to the health provider, or assess penalties against the health provider, in an attempt to interfere with the requirements of the law. However, the plan may apply deductibles and copays consistent with other coverage provided by the plan.

Statement of Rights under the Newborns’ and Mothers’ Health Protection Act Under federal law, group health plans offering group health coverage generally may not: • Restrict benefits for any hospital length of stay in connection with childbirth for the mother or newborn child to less than 48 hours following a vaginal delivery, or less than 96 hours following a delivery by cesarean section. However, the plan or issuer may pay for a shorter stay if the attending provider (e.g., your physician, nurse midwife, or physician assistant), after consultation with the mother, discharges the mother or newborn earlier. • Set the level of benefits or out-of-pocket costs so that any later portion of the 48-hour (or 96-hour) stay is treated in a manner less favorable to the mother or newborn than any earlier portion of the stay. • Require that you, your physician, or other healthcare provider obtain authorization for prescribing a length of stay of up to 48 hours (or 96 hours). However, you may be required to obtain pre-certification for any days of confinement that exceeds 48 hours (or 96 hours). For information on pre-certification, please refer to the Benefit Summaries.

It’s time to plan for a healthier future. When you quit tobacco, good things start to happen. Your lungs begin to heal and you regain your sense of taste and smell.

Introduction to health savings accounts

A health savings account (HSA) allows you to save money for qualified medical expenses that you’re expecting, such as contact lenses or monthly prescriptions, as well as unexpected ones — for this year and the future.

Why have an HSA? You own it The money is yours until you spend it — even deposits made by others, such as an employer or family member. You keep it, even if you change jobs, health plans or retire. Tax savings HSAs help you plan, save and pay for health care, all while saving on taxes. • The money you deposit is tax advantaged. • Savings grow income tax-free. • Withdrawals for qualified medical expenses are also income tax-free. It’s not just for doctor visits Once you’ve contributed to your account, you can use the funds in your HSA to pay for qualified medical expenses such as: • Dental care, including extractions and braces • Vision care, including contact lenses, prescription sunglasses and LASIK surgery • Prescription medications • Certain over-the-counter drugs and medications • Chiropractic services • Acupuncture

Contribution limits There are contribution limits, set by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and adjusted annually. These limits are: • $3,600 for individual coverage in 2021; $3,650 in 2022 • $7,200 for family coverage in 2021; $7,300 in 2022 • $1,000 extra if you’re 55 or older, also known as catchup contributions


Save for the future Your HSA rolls over from year to year, so you can continue to grow your savings and use it in the future — even into retirement.

Who can open an HSA? To be an eligible individual and qualify for an HSA, you must have a qualifying high-deductible health plan (HDHP) that meets IRS guidelines for the annual deductible and out-of-pocket maximum. In addition, you must: • Be covered under a qualifying HDHP on the first day of a given month. • Not be covered by any other health plan except what is permitted (dental, vision, disability and some other types of additional coverage are permissible). • Not be enrolled in Medicare, TRICARE or TRICARE for Life. • Have not received Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits within the past three months, except for preventive care. If you are a veteran with a disability rating from the VA, this exclusion does not apply. • Not be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return. • Not have a health care flexible spending account (FSA) or health reimbursement account (HRA). Alternative plan designs, such as a limited-purpose FSA or HRA, might be permitted. Other restrictions and exceptions also apply. Consult a tax, legal or financial advisor to discuss your personal circumstances.

Contributions add up quickly When Marcus started his new job, he decided to open an HSA and contribute $100 per month. Because he hasn’t had many medical expenses, he decided not to touch the balance during his first year. Here’s how his contributions added up: Monthly contribution: $100 Annual contribution: $1,200 Annual income tax savings1: $440 Use the HSA Calculator on optumbank.com to help determine your contributions and see how much you can save on taxes. Open your HSA today.

Open your account Check with your employer or benefits specialist to learn about your company’s application process. You may be able to sign up through your employer or enroll at optumbank.com. You cannot use your HSA to pay for medical expenses you had before you opened your account — so be sure to open your HSA as soon as you are eligible. And be sure to save your receipts!

You can use the funds in your HSA: • To pay for qualified medical, dental, vision and prescription drug expenses, including certain overthe-counter drugs and medications, as defined in IRS Publications 502 and 969. • As supplemental income after age 65. Once you are 65, you can withdraw funds for any reason without paying a penalty, but they will be subject to ordinary income tax. If you are under age 65 and use your HSA funds for nonqualified expenses, you will need to pay taxes on the money you withdraw, as well as an additional 20% penalty.

Can I use my HSA to pay for qualified medical expenses for a spouse or tax dependent? Yes, even if your spouse or tax dependent is covered under another health plan. To get personalized details, consult a qualified tax advisor.

Are health insurance premiums considered qualified medical expenses? In general, no, but exceptions include qualified long-termcare insurance, COBRA health care continuation coverage, any health plan maintained while receiving unemployment compensation under federal or state law and, for those 65 and over (whether or not they are entitled to Medicare), any employer-sponsored retiree medical coverage premiums for Medicare Part A or B or Medicare HMO. Conversely, premiums for Medigap policies are not qualified medical expenses.

Can I invest my HSA dollars? Yes, you can choose to invest your HSA dollars once you reach your investment threshold. Visit optumbank.com for more details.


Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to my HSA if I no longer am covered by a qualifying high-deductible plan (HDHP). While you can no longer contribute to your HSA, you can still use the remaining funds to pay or be reimbursed for future qualified medical expenses.

How much can I contribute to an HSA? The IRS sets annual contribution limits each year. Year

Individual coverage

Family coverage

2021

$3,600

$7,200

2022

$3,650

$7,300

Note that any contributions made to your HSA by family members, your employer or others count toward this limit. If you are 55 or older, you can contribute an additional $1,000 each year. Note: The primary account holder must be 55 or older (even if the spouse is of that age).

How can I make contributions? There are three ways to make a deposit: • Payroll deductions through your employer, if available.

Is there a time limit for reimbursing myself? You can reimburse yourself at any time for expenses you paid for out of pocket. There is no time limit, but the expenses must have been incurred since you opened your HSA.

How can I use my HSA to pay for medical services? You can use your Optum Financial debit Mastercard®, use online bill pay; or pay out-of-pocket and then distribute funds from your HSA to reimburse yourself.

Can I use my HSA to pay for non-healthrelated expenses? Yes. However, any amount of a distribution not used exclusively to pay for qualified medical expenses for you, your spouse or your eligible tax dependents is then included in your gross income. These distributions could be subject to taxes and an additional 20% IRS tax penalty, except in the case of distributions made after your death, disability or reaching age 65.

What happens if my HSA contributions exceed the annual contribution limit?

• Mail in a personal check along with the HSA Contribution Form. You can find this form after signing in at optumbank.com.

If you contribute more than the IRS annual contribution limit, you have until the tax-filing deadline to withdraw excess contributions. If excess contributions are not withdrawn by the tax-filing deadline, an annually assessed excise tax of 6% will be imposed on any excess contributions.

When can contributions be made?

Is tax reporting required for an HSA?

• Online at optumbank.com using your personal checking account.

Contributions for a taxable year can be made any time within that year and up until the tax filing deadline for the following year, which is typically April 15.

If I change employers, what happens to my HSA? Since you are the owner of the HSA, you may continue to maintain the account if you change employers. The funds are yours to keep.

Can I reimburse myself with HSA funds for qualified medical expenses incurred prior to my enrollment in an HSA?

Yes. You must complete IRS form 8889 each year with your tax return to report total deposits and withdrawals from your account. You do not need to itemize. For more information about tax rules including distribution information, visit optumbank.com and consult a qualified tax advisor.

What happens to my HSA when I die? If you are married, your spouse will become the owner of the account and assume it as their own HSA. If you are unmarried, your account will cease to be an HSA. The money in your account will pass to your beneficiaries or become a part of your estate, and it will be subject to applicable taxes.

No. Qualified medical expenses may be reimbursed only if the expenses are incurred after the date your HSA was established. Investments are not FDIC insured, are not guaranteed by Optum Bank®, and may lose value.

Premium Assistance Under Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) If you or your children are eligible for Medicaid or CHIP and you’re eligible for health coverage from your employer, your state may have a premium assistance program that can help pay for coverage, using funds from their Medicaid or CHIP programs. If you or your children aren’t eligible for Medicaid or CHIP, you won’t be eligible for these premium assistance programs but you may be able to buy individual insurance coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace. For more information, visit www.healthcare.gov. If you or your dependents are already enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP and you live in a State listed below, contact your State Medicaid or CHIP office to find out if premium assistance is available. If you or your dependents are NOT currently enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP, and you think you or any of your dependents might be eligible for either of these programs, contact your State Medicaid or CHIP office or dial 1-877KIDS NOW or www.insurekidsnow.gov to find out how to apply. If you qualify, ask your state if it has a program that might help you pay the premiums for an employer-sponsored plan. If you or your dependents are eligible for premium assistance under Medicaid or CHIP, as well as eligible under your employer plan, your employer must allow you to enroll in your employer plan if you aren’t already enrolled. This is called a “special enrollment” opportunity, and you must request coverage within 60 days of being determined eligible for premium assistance. If you have questions about enrolling in your employer plan, contact the Department of Labor at www.askebsa.dol.gov or call 1-866-444-EBSA (3272). If you live in one of the following states, you may be eligible for assistance paying your employer health plan premiums. The following list of states is current as of July 31, 2021.

Important Notice from Kao America Inc. About Your Prescription Drug Coverage and Medicare Please read this notice carefully and keep it where you can find it. This notice has information about your current prescription drug coverage with Kao America Inc. and about your options under Medicare’s prescription drug coverage. This information can help you decide whether or not you want to join a Medicare drug plan. If you are considering joining, you should compare your current coverage, including which drugs are covered at what cost, with the coverage and costs of the plans offering Medicare prescription drug coverage in your area. Information about where you can get help to make decisions about your prescription drug coverage is at the end of this notice. There are two important things you need to know about your current coverage and Medicare’s prescription drug coverage: 1. Medicare prescription drug coverage became available in 2006 to everyone with Medicare. You can get this coverage if you join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan or join a Medicare Advantage Plan (like an HMO or PPO) that offers prescription drug coverage. All Medicare drug plans provide at least a standard level of coverage set by Medicare. Some plans may also offer more coverage for a higher monthly premium. 2. Kao America Inc. has determined that the prescription drug coverage offered by United Health Care is, on average for all plan participants, expected to pay out as much as standard Medicare prescription drug coverage pays and is therefore considered Creditable Coverage. Because your existing coverage is Creditable Coverage, you can keep this coverage and not pay a higher premium (a penalty) if you later decide to join a Medicare drug plan. __________________________________________________________________________ When Can You Join A Medicare Drug Plan? You can join a Medicare drug plan when you first become eligible for Medicare and each year from October 15th to December 7th. However, if you lose your current creditable prescription drug coverage, through no fault of your own, you will also be eligible for a two (2) month Special Enrollment Period (SEP) to join a Medicare drug plan. What Happens To Your Current Coverage If You Decide to Join A Medicare Drug Plan? If you decide to join a Medicare drug plan, your current Kao America Inc. coverage will not be affected. See below for more information about what happens to your current coverage if you join a Medicare Drug Plan. Your current coverage pays for other health expenses in addition to prescription drug. If you enroll in a Medicare prescription drug plan, you and your eligible dependents will still be eligible to receive all of your current health and prescription drug benefits. There are a few prescription drug options under the plan Kao America Inc. offers to those who are Medicare eligible. Please contact your benefits representative for more information on these plans and the impact Medicare Part D may have on the prescription coverage. If you do decide to join a Medicare drug plan and drop your current Kao America Inc. coverage, be aware that you and your dependents will not be able to get this coverage back. 1


When Will You Pay A Higher Premium (Penalty) To Join A Medicare Drug Plan? You should also know that if you drop or lose your current coverage with Kao America Inc. and don’t join a Medicare drug plan within 63 continuous days after your current coverage ends, you may pay a higher premium (a penalty) to join a Medicare drug plan later. If you go 63 continuous days or longer without creditable prescription drug coverage, your monthly premium may go up by at least 1% of the Medicare base beneficiary premium per month for every month that you did not have that coverage. For example, if you go nineteen months without creditable coverage, your premium may consistently be at least 19% higher than the Medicare base beneficiary premium. You may have to pay this higher premium (a penalty) as long as you have Medicare prescription drug coverage. In addition, you may have to wait until the following October to join.

You will also get it before the next period you can join a Medicare drug plan, and if this coverage through Kao America Inc. changes. You also may request a copy of this notice at any time. For More Information About Your Options Under Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage… More detailed information about Medicare plans that offer prescription drug coverage is in the “Medicare & You” handbook.
