         Important Information




         The Affordable Care Act and You

         The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires applicable large employers to make affordable coverage available to their employees
         or risk paying a penalty. Although the individual mandate is no longer effective beginning January 1, 2019, it is important that
         you understand your options for health insurance coverage. You may consider these options below:
         •   Enroll in a medical plan offered by the Company or another group plan
         •   Purchase coverage through a health insurance marketplace
         •   Enroll in coverage through a government-sponsored program if eligible
         Because the Company’s medical plans are considered affordable and meet minimum value under the Affordable Care Act,
         you will not generally see lower premiums or out-of-pocket costs through the marketplace. In addition, employer
         contributions to your medical benefits will be lost if you choose to purchase coverage through the marketplace, and your
         portion of medical premiums will no longer be paid via payroll deductions on a pre-tax basis. To learn more about the ACA,
         visit www.healthcare.gov.
