a) Group UK Company Pension Scheme


The Company has in place an optional contributory Group UK Company Pension Scheme.
Details are available from HR Shared Services. You are eligible to join this scheme upon
commencement of employment should you wish to do so. Membership of the Group UK
Company Pension Scheme is optional.

The Company reserves the right at any time and for any reason to withdraw, replace or
change the terms and/ or the providers of the Group UK Company Pension Scheme.
Furthermore, any membership of the Group UK Company Pension Scheme is subject to its
trust deed and rules as amended from time-to-time.

/1/EUROPE
b) Auto Enrolment Scheme
Eligible colleagues who do not elect to join the Group UK Company Pension Scheme, will be
automatically enrolled into the contributory Auto Enrolment Scheme and contributions
deducted no later than the date permitted by legislation if certain eligibility criteria are met.
This date is normally 12 weeks from a colleague’s commencement of employment date (unless
the colleague decides to opt in sooner). Please note, colleagues, who will be automatically
enrolled, cannot ask to leave the scheme prior to being automatically enrolled.

Prior to commencing employment, colleagues wanting to join the Group UK Company Pension
Scheme will be required to complete a pension application form and return to HR Shared
Services. Colleagues who do not complete and return the form will be automatically enrolled
into the contributory Auto Enrolment Scheme (see above) if they meet the criteria set out in
legislation and if they have not already enrolled in the Group UK Company Pension Scheme.

c) SMART Arrangements
Upon becoming a member of a pension scheme, you will automatically be enrolled using the
SMART arrangements (the Company’s pensions salary sacrifice arrangement – Save Money
and Reduce Tax) if you satisfy the eligibility criteria and unless you opt out of SMART
arrangements. This constitutes a contractual change to your terms and conditions of
employment whereby the Company will reduce your entitlement to salary (before tax and
NI C) and will pay the equivalent amount of this reduction into the relevant pension scheme.
Once your entitlement to salary is reduced, you will not make pension contributions to the
relevant pension scheme.

I f you are a member of the SMART arrangements, and you are entitled to any Supplementary
Payments, the way in which these will be calculated will depend on which pension scheme
you are in, and in turn, the definition of Pensionable Salary which is applicable to you.

Where Pensionable Salary is your basic pay, Supplemental Payments will be calculated, where
necessary, according to your pre-salary sacrifice salary.

Where Pensionable Salary includes Supplemental Payments, these will be calculated, where
necessary, according to your basic normal pay, i.e. pay before Supplemental Payments are
earned.

“ Supplementary Payments” means overtime payments, and any other allowances for night
work.

Any statutory payments which you may receive cannot legally be reduced and the Company
will explain to you how your pension entitlement will operate on a case-by-case basis.

Your membership of the SMART arrangements will automatically cease if you are no longer a
member of any pension scheme for any reason. You may resume membership of the SMART
arrangements if you are subsequently re-enrolled into a pension scheme and you meet the
eligibility requirements.

The Company reserves the right to amend or discontinue SMART arrangements at any time,
if it determines it is appropriate to do so, considering such matters as may be relevant from
time to time including changes to UK tax legislation.
