Welcome to
Open Enrollment 2014

At Landis+Gyr, we know that your commitment and hard work are critical to the company retaining
its global leadership position in delivering energy management solutions. Your dedication allows us to
collectively address the worldwide energy challenges of today and tomorrow.

That is why your quality of life is very important to all of us. Our benefits package translates that
importance into dynamic and flexible programs that provide you value today and tomorrow. Through
the benefit programs, you and your family have access to comprehensive health insurance, financial
protection through life and disability insurance, a variety of tax-deferred and post-tax retirement savings
options, and numerous resources to support your overall well-being.

Each year we take a close look at our benefit plans to ensure they remain compliant and affordable for
both you and the company. Maintaining the financial integrity of the benefits program while continuing to
offer a range of benefits can be a challenge in this economic environment. Balancing these demands is
never easy and, each year, it requires some changes.

The good news for 2014 is that there are minimal benefit plan design changes (see “What’s New” on page
3 for details). However, health care costs continue to rise, and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care
Act (also known as Health Care Reform) imposes new fees on health care plans. For 2014, medical plan
contributions are increasing as a result of the Act, but the company will continue to contribute a majority of
the premium costs.

As costs increase, we must all work to use available benefits wisely. I encourage you to take time to review
the benefits programs that the company offers to choose those that are right for you and your family. Take
a closer look at the High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) — it puts you in charge of managing your health
and your money — and consider the flexibility of all the benefits available to you.

The following pages summarize your benefit options for 2014, and include important information about
what’s new and the open enrollment process and deadlines. Be an informed health care consumer by
ensuring you understand your options through review of this newsletter; by attending benefit meetings
when they are offered at your location; and by asking questions of your human resources team — they are
always available to answer any questions you have about your benefit package.

Thank you very much for your continued efforts and support.

Richard Mora,

Chief Executive Officer
Landis+Gyr

Health Care Reform Update

On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), which
is also known as Health Care Reform. The ACA put into place a variety of health insurance reforms designed to
decrease the number of uninsured Americans and reduce the overall cost of health care.

There are changes on the horizon for 2014 and 2015, including:

Individual Mandate If you have Landis+Gyr medical coverage and continue to have Landis+Gyr
(beginning 2014) medical coverage for the 2014 plan year, you don’t need to take action
regarding Health Care Reform at this time. If you don’t have medical coverage,
through either Landis+Gyr or another source, you should be aware that as of
January 1, 2014, the law will require almost all individuals in the U.S. to have health
care coverage, or face penalties, unless they qualify for an exemption.

Insurance Exchanges You may have received a notice about the new insurance exchanges (or
(beginning 2014) “marketplaces”) available in the U.S. as part of Health Care Reform. An insurance
exchange is an online public shopping site where individuals, families and small
business owners can shop for health plans. Each state will sponsor an exchange
that will offer affordable medical insurance options. Some exchanges will be run by
individual states, others by the federal government. In general, exchanges make the
most sense for individuals who don’t have access to employer-sponsored plans.

Important: Your Landis+Gyr medical coverage is likely more cost effective for
you than anything you can buy through the public insurance exchange. We have
thoroughly reviewed our medical plans to make sure they meet the law’s medical
plan coverage requirements. This means that employees eligible for medical
coverage through Landis+Gyr generally will NOT be eligible for a subsidy to buy
insurance from the exchange.

As part of the ACA, the federal government requires most organizations to provide
their employees with an insurance exchange notice. Our notice is available on
Sharepoint.

Employer Mandate The Employer Mandate states that beginning January 1, 2015, employers with 50 or
(beginning 2015) more full-time employees must:

• O ffer minimum essential coverage to “substantially all” full-time employees, and
• Provide plans to full-time employees that are “affordable,” as defined by the law,

and that meet certain minimum value requirements. Otherwise, an employer
must pay a penalty if a full-time employee or his/her eligible dependent receives
subsidized coverage through an insurance exchange.

Beginning January 1, 2015, a full-time employee under this law is defined as an
individual working on average 30 or more hours per week. More information will be
available as the government releases clarification on many of these provisions.

Landis+Gyr will continue to evaluate the provisions of Health Care Reform and what it means for our company, and
will keep you informed as additional details emerge.

Have You Considered the HDHP?

The HDHP and the Choice Plus Plan cover the same medical services and use the same provider network. The
difference lies in your contributions for coverage, the deductible, the copays for prescription drugs, the out-of-
pocket maximum, and how you pay for services.

Your contributions are lower and the deductible is higher for the HDHP. You pay 20% of the cost for in-network
doctor’s visits after you meet the deductible, instead of a copay. In both plans preventive care is covered at 100%
with no deductible when you use an in-network provider. The HDHP has an additional feature — the HSA, a tax-
advantaged account that lets you save money on a pre-tax basis that you can use for eligible expenses now and
in the future, such as health care expenses not covered by the plan and retiree medical coverage. To help your
account grow, Landis+Gyr makes an automatic contribution to your account each year.

All this adds up to comprehensive coverage that can be cost-effective for both you and Landis+Gyr.

Why the HDHP May Be Right for You

1. Lower premiums: You pay less for HDHP premiums than you would for Choice Plus Plan coverage.
2. More control: You choose how you pay for your health care expenses not paid by the plan — out of pocket or

with your HSA.
3. Access to an HSA: You have a tax-advantaged account that you own and pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible

expenses now and in the future. Plus, Landis+Gyr contributes to this account.

A Closer Look at the HDHP

Preventive Care (100%) The plan covers preventive care, such as annual physicals and screenings,
at 100% with no deductible when you use an in-network provider.

Annual Deductible You pay the full cost of the allowable charge
(including prescription drug costs) until you
reach the deductible.

Coinsurance If you cover any dependents, the family HSA

share in the cost of services by paying a
percentage of the cost (called coinsurance)
for covered health care expenses. For
prescription drugs, you pay a copay after you
meet the deductible.

To protect you from high health care expenses, you pay coinsurance
until you reach the out-of-pocket maximum. Then, the plan pays 100%
for covered expenses if you use an in-network provider. If you use an
out-of-network provider, you may be responsible for charges above
usual and customary.

If you cover any dependents, the family out-of-pocket maximum must
be met before the plan begins to pay 100% for any person. One person,
or a combination of family members, can meet the family out-of-pocket
maximum.

Want more money in your pocket? Try saving on health care.

Here are some easy ways you can save on health care now and throughout the year:
• Understand your network of providers.

You can save on out-of-pocket costs if you use an in-network UnitedHealthcare provider. If you use an out-of-
network provider, you’ll pay more for your care.
• Use the ER only for true emergencies. Emergency rooms are set up to treat the most critical patients. If it isn’t
life threatening, call your physician’s office, go to an urgent care center, or visit a clinic, such as a CVS Minute
Clinic (this type of care is less expensive and you will likely receive medical attention faster).
• Get regular preventive care. It’s covered at 100% in-network. If you think you need to see your physician only
when you’re sick, think again. Preventive care can help detect potential health risks early, avoiding costly medical
bills down the road. Preventive care includes, but is not limited to, annual physicals, age-appropriate screenings,
well-woman care, and immunizations.
• P articipate in the HSA or Health Care FSA. An easy way to save money on your out-of-pocket health care
expenses is to use pre-tax money by paying for your care with HSA or FSA dollars. Make sure to set aside
enough money to cover your estimated out-of-pocket expenses.
• C hoose and fill prescription drugs wisely. Save money by using mail order and/or finding out if there is a
generic drug available. Generic drugs are virtually identical in makeup to their brand-name counterparts and cost
much less.

Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs)

The FSAs allow you to set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for certain health care and dependent care expenses
that are not covered under your benefit plans. These accounts offer you an immediate tax break because your
contributions lower your annual taxable income. And, you don’t pay taxes on the money when you use it. However,
you will forfeit any amount in your 2014 FSA that you don’t use for expenses incurred during 2014 and through
March 15, 2015. All claims must be submitted no later than March 31, 2015, for reimbursement.

Remember to Enroll by November 10!

Open enrollment begins on Monday, October 28, and continues through Sunday, November 10. If you do not
make your elections, you will be enrolled in default benefits – employee only coverage in the HDHP and no
dental or vision coverage.

Before making your elections, be sure to:
• R eview your current coverage to see whether it continues to meet your and your family’s needs. Think about the

total cost of coverage – contributions, deductibles, copays and coinsurance, and expected health care costs.
• Check whether any of your covered dependents has access to other health care coverage that may be less

expensive. For example, your spouse may have medical coverage available at work that costs less.
