3 Flexibility is Key: The Swiss Pension Plans The contributions are age-related, with members being able to choose between three contribution scales ( Standard, Standard Minus and Standard Plus ). The funding arrangements are based on a 2:1 ratio of employer and employee contributions (if the Standard contribution scale is chosen). Early retirement (also partially) is possible from age 60 onwards. An additional savings plan has been set up for all insured members aged 40 or older, based on equal contributions from associates/employer. At retirement, insured members may select a lifelong survivor s pension for their partner in the same amount as the retirement pension ( joint life annuity). Investment strategy: If your insured salary is partly covered in Pension Fund 2, then for your Pension Fund 2 retirement account you can choose from a variety of investment options. To make this possible, the Novartis Pension Fund had to be split into two separate legal entities, i.e. the Pension Fund 1 and Pension Fund 2. As from January 2016, the Management Pension Fund also offers a choice of contribution scales and investment strategies. 3

Moser
5 Asset allocation: 4 strategies for selection Optimized portfolio composition (1) The investment strategies were initially created in 2010 and served their purpose well. However, the investment environment has changed considerably since then. In particular, the low or negative yields for bonds (which represent a substantial component of each strategy, except Money Market) called for an adjustment of the portfolio composition: Higher allocation to corporate bonds and a Stronger diversification by adding real estate. The ultimate goal is (and has always been) to provide you with a selection of investment strategies that are easy to understand and offer appropriate returns with a reasonable level of risk. As of February 1, 2017, the existing strategies have been adjusted. No further action was required from you, as your (most recently) selected strategy was automatically shifted to its new (so-called Plus ) variant. For example, if you had opted for Equity 25, then your portfolio was allocated in accordance with the composition of the new Equity 25 Plus strategy. If you had chosen the LifeCycle model, the underlying strategies were adapted in the same way. For the insured members, the changes were cost-free. 5

7 The LifeCycle -Model as a 5 th strategy The LifeCycle solution works like a kind of autopilot that automatically factors in the investment horizon and risk. The fundamental concept is based on the assumption that the capacity to cope with investment volatility generally decreases the closer one gets to retirement. For this reason, the portion of Equities in the portfolio is gradually reduced. In view of a smooth implementation, focus was on simplicity: Build-up based on the same indexed funds as already used by PF2 and MPF Favorable pricing conditions Reasonably staggered age-brackets so as not to unnecessarily complicate the setup (5-year vintages rather than 1 or 10-year spreads. The portfolio composition of the underlying strategies of the LifeCycle model was adapted automatically to the optimized Plus structures, too. 7

The rebalancing costs are the higher the more often such transactions take place. Without an appropriate compensating mechanism the costs are borne by all investors, affecting their performance. The dilution levies shall protect the existing investors by allocating the transaction costs to those who cause them (cost-by-cause principle).

45 PF2/MPF: Change in Swiss Legislation effective as of October 1, 2017 On August 30, the Swiss Federal Council decided to enact a law change specifically designed for pension funds offering investment choices to the insured members ( Article 19a FZG) New is the obligation to offer (at least) one investment strategy that is deemed low risk (i.e. our Money Market strategy) provide proper information to the insured members about the various strategies, including the related investment risk and costs (e.g. our Investment Guidelines, Spotlights and more) obtain the insured members confirmation of having received such information (i.e. by completing the pertinent questionnaire prior to actively making a selection). Given the existing high degree of compliance, the adjustments to the plan rules of PF2 and MPF were limited to the following items: The absence of any entitlement to a certain interest or a nominal value guarantee, either during active membership or upon its termination The actuarial calculation of the maximum possible level of voluntary extra contributions. After having obtained the approval by the Boards of Trustees (circular decision), the changes were communicated to the insured members by mass on September 18,
