MEDICAL COVERAGE - MEDICA High quality, affordable health care is a high priority for most people. That is why Border Foods is pleased to continue to offer you and your family two PPO plans – the Basic Plan and the Premium Plan through Medica. Basic Plan – Health Savings Account (HSA) Eligible The Basic plan has the lowest cost to you per pay period and the highest deductible. You must pay all expenses for services except as noted in the Medical Benefits At-A-Glance Chart (see page 4) until you meet the deductible. Once the deductible is met you will pay coinsurance for services in the amounts noted on the chart. If you choose the Basic Plan, you can open an HSA account, fund it with pre-tax contributions throughout the year and use that money to pay for qualified healthcare expenses. See page 5 for more details on the Health Savings Account. Premium Plan – Flexible Spending Account (FSA) Eligible The Premium plan offers a lower deductible but has a higher per pay period cost. If you choose this plan you are not eligible to open an HSA but you can open a Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) to help you with meeting your deductible. You can make pre-tax contributions to this account to be set aside to pay for medical expenses including deductible, coinsurance, co-pays and IRS 213(d) expenses. See page 8 for more details on the Health Care FSA. Bi-Weekly Medical Plan Cost Comparison Coverage Basic Plan - HSA Eligible Premium Plan - FSA Eligible Non-Tobacco Tobacco Non-Tobacco Tobacco Employee Only (MN) $61.11 $113.35 $113.36 $163.09 Employee Only (IA, IL, $46.85 $97.31 $113.36 $163.09 MI, SD, WI & WY) Employee + 1 $113.36 $215.93 $221.31 $327.65 Family $140.35 $269.90 $278.53 $415.64 *You will be subject to a $45.00 per pay period surcharge if your spouse has coverage available through another employer and you choose to enroll him/her in the Border Foods Plan. Documentation may be required if your spouse is not eligible for coverage elsewhere. Please note: Employee Only rates differ by state due to state specific regulations that Border Foods adheres to. Network of Providers Both plans offer considerable advantages when you use network providers. Besides the financial benefit of pre-negotiated rates, the network also provides reassurance about the level of care available. In addition, using the services of network providers eliminates the hassle of filing claim forms, since the providers take care of this.

HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT (HSA) - TASC How the HSA works You can open an HSA account and fund it with pre-tax contributions through bi-weekly payroll deductions throughout the year. You can then withdraw the funds tax-free to reimburse yourself for eligible expenses including deductibles, coinsurance and co-pays. After incurring a qualified expense and submitting any required documentation, you will receive reimbursement for this expense. You must enroll in the High Deductible Health Plan (Basic Plan) to be eligible to participate in the HSA. In addition, in order to be eligible to participate in an HSA, you can not: n Be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return n Have a spouse with a Health FSA that could reimburse your medical expenses n Be enrolled in a government health plan, such as Medicare or Medicaid You do not need to use all of the money you contribute to the account in any given year. Unused HSA funds will rollover from year to year so you can used it when you need it most. If you change jobs you can take the money with you. HSA Annual Contribution Limits: Employee only coverage: $3,550 All other coverage levels: $7,100 Age 55+ catch up: $1,000 Employer Contributions NEW! Effective April 1, 2020, Border will begin contributing to HSAs for those employees that choose to actively participate and contribute to their HSA. The annual employer contribution amounts are as follows: Employee $340 Employee + 1 $560 Family $720 These amounts will be posted to employees accounts on a quarterly basis (1st of the months of April, July, October and January). Please note: You will only be eligible for the quarterly contribution if you are an active employee at the start of each quarter. HSA TAX ADVANTAGES n Employee contributions are tax-free reducing your taxable income. n Distributions of HSA funds are tax-free when used to cover qualified health care expenses. n HSA balances grow tax free.

FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNTS (FSA) HEADER TEXT A Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is a voluntary account that allows you to use pre-tax funds to pay for certain health care and dependent day care expenses as determined by IRS regulations. You can set up two separate accounts- one for qualified health care expenses and one for qualified dependent care expenses. The monies in one account cannot be used to satisfy expenses in the other account. TASC is the claims administrator for both FSA programs. You can not contribute to both a Health Care FSA and a HSA. Your FSA Contributions When you establish a Health Care and/or a Dependent Care FSA, you choose the annual amount you wish to contribute, up to certain plan limits. This amount is deducted from your paycheck in equal installments before Federal and Social Security taxes are withheld. If you experience a qualified life event, you are eligible to change your FSA election during the year. Health Care Flexible Spending Account You may make a pre-tax contribution of up to $2,750 per year to your Health Care FSA. If you set up a Health Care FSA, you can be reimbursed for eligible expenses that you or your dependents incur after your effective date and during the plan year in which you participate. Examples of eligible health care expenses*, to the extent not covered by another plan (through June 15th, 2021), include: n Copayments and deductibles not covered by medical or dental insurance n Uninsured expenses, such as hearing aids, eyeglass, contact lenses and certain eye surgeries n Orthodontia n Diabetic supplies n Smoking cessation programs n Fertility services *For a complete list of eligible and ineligible Health and Dependent Care FSA expenses visit www.IRS.gov and review Publications 213(d), 502, and 503. A list can be obtained from your local IRS office. IMPORTANT REMINDER Be sure to calculate your FSA election carefully, as any unused funds in your account will be forfeited at the end of the plan year. Please note: you may still submit eligible claims for reimbursement through the 2 1/2 month grace period (through June 15th, 2021) after the plan year ends. 6
FLEXIBLETEXT HEADER SPENDING ACCOUNTS (FSA) - TASC Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account In the Dependent Care FSA, you may contribute up to $5,000 per year, per family household, on a pre-tax basis. This annual maximum applies to all contributions made by you and your spouse to a dependent care account. Therefore, if you are married and filing separately for federal income tax purposes, you may elect to contribute up to $2,500 per year. Eligible dependents You can be reimbursed for dependent care expenses if they are necessary to allow you or your spouse to work. These services may be provided inside or outside your home by babysitters, companions, or eligible day care centers. Services may not, however, be provided by someone you claim as a dependent on your tax return. Your day care expenses must be for: n Your dependent under age 13 who lives with you for more than half the year and for whom you can claim an exemption n Your dependent under age 13 for whom you have custody if you are divorced or legally separated n Your spouse who is physically or mentally incapable of self-care n Your dependent of any age, such as an elderly parent or other adult dependent, who meets all of the following criteria: n Is physically or mentally incapable of caring for himself or herself, n Receives over half of his or her support from you, n Lives with you for more than half the year, and n Is your sibling, step-sibling or any of their descendants; a parent or step-parent or any of their ancestors; an aunt, uncle, niece or nephew; children or parents-in-law; or an unrelated individual who shares your residence as a member of the household. 7

IMPORTANT NOTICES HEADER TEXT Special Enrollment Rights If you are declining enrollment for yourself or your dependents (including your spouse) because of other health insurance or group health plan coverage, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents in this plan if you or your dependents lose eligibility for that other coverage (or if the employer stops contributing towards your or your dependents’ other coverage). However, you must request enrollment within 30 days after your or your dependents’ other coverage ends (or after the employer stops contributing toward the other coverage). 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. However, you must request enrollment within 30 days after the marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption. If you decline enrollment for yourself or for an eligible dependent (including your spouse) while Medicaid coverage or coverage under a state children’s health insurance program is in effect, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents in this plan if you or your dependents lose eligibility for that other coverage. However, you must request enrollment within 60 days after your or your dependents’ coverage ends under Medicaid or a state children’s health insurance program.

Newborns’ and Mothers’ Health Protection Act Under federal law, health care plans may not restrict any hospital length of stay in connection with childbirth for the mother or newborn child to less than 48 hours following a normal delivery, or less than 96 hours following a Cesarean section. However, federal law generally does not prohibit the mother’s or newborn’s attending provider, after consulting with the mother and with the mother’s consent, from discharging the mother or her newborn earlier than 48 hours (or 96 hours as applicable). Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 Under the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act, group health plans must make certain benefits available to participants of health plans who have undergone a mastectomy. In particular, plans that provide medical and surgical benefits for a mastectomy must also provide coverage for: n Reconstruction of the breast on which the mastectomy has been performed n Surgery and reconstruction of the other breast to produce a symmetrical appearance; n External breast prostheses (breast forms that fit into a bra) that are needed before or during the reconstruction; and n Treatment of physical complications in all stages of mastectomy, including lymphedemas. Coverage is determined by the health plan, in coordination with the physician and patient. 20
HEADER TEXT IMPORTANT NOTICES Important Notice from Border Foods 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 Border Foods 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. Border Foods has determined that the prescription drug coverage offered by the Medica 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. 21
IMPORTANT NOTICES HEADER TEXT 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 Border Foods coverage will not be affected. If you or your dependents are Medicare Part D eligible, there are certain options available to you: • Retain your existing coverage and choose not to enroll in a Part D plan; or • Enroll in a Part D plan as a supplement to your existing coverage with Border Foods. Note: Information about the prescription drug plan provisions/options available to Medicare Part D eligible individuals is available at http://www.cms.hhs.gov/CreditableCoverage/ If you do decide to join a Medicare drug plan and drop your current Border Foods coverage, be aware that you and your dependents will be able to get this coverage back during the qualified life event or the annual open enrollment period for Border Foods group plan. 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 Border Foods 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. 22
HEADER TEXT IMPORTANT NOTICES 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 1-877-KIDS 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 January 31, 2020.
