  1. The Johnson Matthey Retirement Choice Program October 2013 – March 2014

  2. Purpose of Today’s Briefing • The purpose of today’s briefing is for you to: • Learn more about your Johnson Matthey Retirement Plan options starting from April 1, 2014. • Better understand how to use your JM provided information and tools to help you make an informed decision. • Ask any questions you might have to help you decide which option is best for you. • Understand the process, timing and requirements for you to make your pension plan election.

  3. Purpose of Today’s Briefing • Today’s briefing is designed to: • Supplement (not replace) the information you received in the packet sent to your home address. • It is not designed to: • Provide retirement or financial planning advice. Why is JM making our Defined Benefit Retirement Plan a contributory plan?

  4. In our August 2013 Newsletter we explained … • Over the past several years, the annual cost to fund the JM Salaried Employees Defined Benefit Pension Plan (JMPP DB) has risen from about 8% to 11% of payroll (or $8.5m to $12.6m). • Pension costs are expected to increase even more in the future as: • Retirees are living longer requiring more plan assets to fund greater retirement benefit liabilities. • Enhanced life expectancy assumptions will likely be implemented by the federal government as a statutory requirement. • JM considered many alternatives to address the JMPP DB funding issue; we selected the option we believe is best for our employees – Your Retirement Choice Program. • What have you been told about your Retirement Plan Choice Program so far?

  5. In our Newsletter we also announced… • The closing of the current Johnson Matthey Defined Benefit Pension Plan (JMPP DB) to new hires and rehires after August 31, 2013. • The rollout of a new Johnson Matthey Defined Contribution Retirement Plan (JM PP DC+) for new hires and rehires on or after September 1, 2013. • Starting from April 1, 2014, current JMPP DB members (and those waiting to join) must choose either to: • Remain in the JMPP DB and contribute 1.5% of your post-tax bi-weekly base pay for periods in which you receive pension credit; or • Join the non-contributory JMPP DC+. What have you been told about your Retirement Plan Choice Program so far? bout your Retirement Plan Choice Program so far? • What information and tools will JM provide to help you make an informed decision?

  6. Retirement Choice Process • You have received a JM Retirement Plan Choice information packet that includes: • A Personalized Illustration (with a Benefit Election Form); • A Plan Comparison Guide; and • Details of how to access the Online Interactive Modeling Tool. • These documents and tools provide information that will help you to decide which retirement plan best suits your personal circumstances. • Take time to review all information and share it with your spouse / financial advisor. • Consider your options carefully; think about your short and long term retirement objectives before you make your final decision.

  7. Defined Benefit vs. Defined Contribution Pension Plans • The JMPP DB is a Defined Benefit retirement plan. These plans generally provide: • Vested members with a guaranteed pension benefit on retirement as defined by the plan formula. • Company is 100% responsible to ensure that benefits are paid. • Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) insured. • Company Fiduciary Committee is responsible for investment decisions and the Company assumes the responsibility for investment risk/under performance. • Government regulations specify plan funding requirements and penalties for non-compliance.

  8. Defined Benefit vs. Defined Contribution Pension Plans • The JMPP DC+ is a Defined Contribution retirement plan. These plans generally provide: • Members with a periodic tax-deferred retirement contribution which the employee invests in one or more funds within a portfolio of funds provided by the Fiduciary Committee‘s designated Investment Manager. • Employee has full control of their retirement investments. • Employee is solely responsible for investment decisions and associated risks. • No guarantee by the Company.
