Are You Getting the Best Value? FOR MOST, THE BEST VALUE IS THE HEALTH INVESTMENT PLAN The best value for 89% But only 31% are enrolled 30% 31% Enrolled Enrolled 89% Would pay less in the Are You Missing Out? Health Investment Plan (based on actual claims) 7
What is an H.S.A? An H.S.A. is an individual account used in conjunction with an H.S.A – eligible Health Plan to cover out-of-pocket qualified health expenses on a tax-advantaged basis. Need to be enrolled in an H.S.A. – eligible health plan that satisfies certain IRS requirements: deductibles and out of pocket expenses. You generally pay more upfront for medical expenses before the plan begins to pay but pay a lower premium. Your H.S.A belongs entirely to you and can be used to pay both current and future qualified expenses for you and your eligible dependents You can contribute to your account, withdraw contributions to pay for current qualified health expenses and potentially grow your account on a tax-free basis by investing in a wide array of investment options. This combination may offer some significant tax and savings advantages over traditional health care plan options 8
What Do the 31% Know? I’m in control Realize they are better off saving what they otherwise would pay in higher premium contributions Use the HSA to make it easier to save Get an HSA contribution from Teradyne Use the money if they need it—keep it if they don’t DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU? “I'd rather have control of my money than spend it on higher premium contributions. By saving, What if you saved I’ve got money set aside to pay any bills. But now, I’ve got ‘upside’ potential. If our family’s health this difference in an is good and we don’t need a lot of care, the money stays with me.” HSA instead? 2018 Premium Contribution Difference vs. Health Investment Plan (Annual, Rounded) Coverage level Health Investment Plan PPO EPO Individual $1,183 + $951 + $722 Employee + one $2,366 + $1,901 + $1,444 Family $3,549 + $2,822 + $2,166 9
What Do the 31% Know? I’m saving for retirement Realize that only the Health Investment Plan provides a way to save for medical expenses in retirement—tax-free Like knowing you can never lose your HSA contributions; savings can continue to grow over time, with no limit Choose how to invest their HSA balances, just as they do their 401(k) Unlike a 401(k), HSA funds are never taxable so long as they are used to pay eligible health care expenses DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU? “Who knows what Medicare and Social Security will be like when I retire? Even if nothing changes, I know I’ll have out-of- pocket costs. It makes sense to save for them through the HSA—where I can pay these expenses tax-free—rather than through a 401(k), where distributions are taxable income.” 2018 HSA Contribution Maximum Coverage level IRS Maximum Teradyne Contribution Maximum Employee Contribution Under 55 55+ Under 55 55+ Individual $3,450 $4,450 $675 $2,775 $3,775 Employee + dependent(s) $6,900 $7,900 $1,350 $5,550 $6,550 10
What Do the 31% Know? I’m thinking longer-term Regardless of your age, taking a longer-term view is a smart way to think about medical coverage Like the idea of building up an HSA balance that, over time, can feel like first-dollar coverage Use the HSA to make it easier to save DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU? “I see how regular savings over a few years can add up pretty quickly. I feel protected from high health care costs this year—and in the future.” CONSIDER THESE EXAMPLES STEVE JULIA PATRICK • Low expenses all three years • Relatively healthy • Married with family coverage • Single (married in year 2; adds • Accident during year 2 costing • Managing chronic conditions spouse to plan for year 3 $35,000 • Planning for retirement; eligible to make annual catch- up contributions 11

Health Investment Plan FAQs “If I know my medical expenses are high, am I better off in the PPO or EPO?” ANSWER Not necessarily. Even if you are planning to have surgery, see the doctor a lot or take several maintenance drugs, you may still find that the Health Investment Plan is the best value for you. We encourage everyone to do the math. We’ve made it easy through the Teradyne Healthcare Calculator, powered by Fidelity. Customize the tool to fit your unique circumstances, and find the plan that truly offers you the best value. Try it for yourself! Visit www.teradyne.com/benefits 17
Health Investment Plan FAQs “What if I think I can’t afford to contribute to an HSA?” ANSWER Everyone needs to save for out-of-pocket expenses—regardless of the plan you choose. The Health Investment Plan difference: you can save for those expenses tax-free. That’s like getting a discount on your share of medical costs. If you find it hard to save, start small. Then gradually increase your contribution rate over time. Remember: you can start, stop or change your HSA contribution rate at any time, so you’re not locked in if you’re suddenly hit with an unexpected expense. Your smartest move: Save for the out-of-pocket maximum, no matter what plan you’re in. That way, you’ll be prepared for your worst-case financial scenario, and have peace of mind. 18
Health Investment Plan FAQs “How do I get reimbursed from the HSA?” ANSWER It’s easy to pay or be reimbursed from your HSA. • Use your HSA debit card. Use it to pay qualified expenses at point of sale, such as filling a prescription, or for an invoice you receive in the mail. Request cards for your covered dependents, too. • Use Fidelity BillPay for Health Savings Accounts. This online bill paying service lets you pay health care providers, companies and individuals—or reimburse yourself. • Use a Fidelity HSA checkbook. Use it to pay qualified expenses at point of sale or for an invoice you receive in the mail. Or write yourself a check for reimbursement. Of course, you don’t have to use your HSA to pay if you don’t want to. You can pay expenses out of pocket with other funds, and allow your HSA balance to grow, tax-free. If you want to reimburse yourself later, you can do so at any time. 19
