5 Premises Blackpool contractor practical completion achieved on target on the 1st July. Fujitsu specific fit-out started, the project is on target to deliver these premises for September 2010. Blackpool move planning will commence in the near future, Fujitsu will be involving the consultation forum in the detail. Fujitsu are currently in the advanced stages of finalising arrangements for premises in Sheffield. Feedback from the 1 to 1’s has been considered as an integral part of this process in terms of requirements for this location. As soon as commercials are complete the exact location will be communicated. Norcross – knowledge transfer process has now been agreed with both HPES and the DWP. This process will confirm our technical requirements going forward which will inform the decision on whether testing remains at Norcross at Day 1 or moves to Blackpool. London - Fujitsu are in dialogue with the DWP around use of the current space on site for the Adelphi and Caxton House. These are progressing well.

6 Re-planning The transition of DWP’s Desktop Services from Hewlett Packard Enterprise Services (HPES) to Fujitsu will complete later than the originally planned date of September We have made good progress to date and expect to complete Transition either late 2010 or early 2011. The Department’s priority is to deliver the benefits of Fujitsu’s transformed Desktop Services solution (i.e. a predominantly “Thin Client” solution) with no disruption to service to its customers and staff.  This requires some flexibility in the handover of the Desktop Service between the two suppliers (HPES and Fujitsu). The additional time is required to ensure the smooth and seamless transition from HPES to Fujitsu. All the organisations involved continue to work closely together to achieve this.

7 Fujitsu’s Benefit Offering To Transferees who currently

If you have a specific individual issue you may wish to stay after the session has ended so that you can ask it on a basis Copyright 2009 Fujitsu Services Limited

9 Flex Funding and Benefit Administration

11 Flex Fund Move to Fujitsu - Overview
It has proven difficult to get 100% clarity on the composition of the flex fund and the mechanism for its review The three items that Fujitsu generally provide ‘free’ should be removed from the current flex fund Full contractual holiday entitlement Life Assurance PHI (Long Term Disability) For private medical we give you an option continue current allowance or take entitlement at contractual level of cover and lose allowance The remainder of the flex fund continues Paid as a fixed cash allowance Remaining funding includes, where relevant, Dental, LTA/PHI change allowance Copyright 2009 Fujitsu Services Limited

12 Holidays in Detail You will be given your contractual entitlement, which, from 2010, is a fixed number of days, and the funding in your Flex fund removed Example: Currently an employees has entitlement to 25 days holiday (plus public holidays) plus Flex funding for three additional days. Going forward: The employee will be given full 28 days contractual entitlement The Flex fund will be reduced by the ‘cost’ of three days i.e. 3 x 1/260 x salary If you are eligible for Your Choices you will be able to buy or sell up to 5 days each year. Currently you elect to buy/sell before the start of the calendar year With Fujitsu you make that decision in July of that holiday year, when you should have a better idea of what you want to select. You then pay/receive cash for 12 month from August. So in July 2011 you will decide what holiday you wish to buy/sell for 2011 Copyright 2009 Fujitsu Services Limited

13 Life Assurance in Detail
You will be given life assurance at the level of 4 times your Reference Salary The Flex fund will be reduced by the current My Choices cost to purchase this level of life assurance There will be no opportunity to flex down the life assurance and take additional cash In future years cover will continue to be paid by Fujitsu – so no dependence on a review of the allowance Everyone eligible for Your Choices will be able to select additional life assurance Copyright 2009 Fujitsu Services Limited

14 PHI in Detail Permanent Health Insurance (PHI) and Long Term Absence (LTA) are the same thing, just different names Assuming that you join the FJUK Plan you will be given PHI cover at the level equal to 50% of Reference Salary after 52 weeks absence: Payable to age 65, or return to work (not just 5 years) Indexed to inflation, max 5% Additional 5% of salary paid to pension to cover employee contribution Fujitsu pays employer pension, based on ‘full’ salary, not cash received There is no reduction to allow for state benefits (ESA) Company sick pay will be used to cover the period from 26 to 52 weeks where you would previously have had LTA The Flex Fund will be reduced by the current My Choices cost to purchase contractual LTA There will be no opportunity to flex down the cover and take additional cash In future years cover will continue to be paid by Fujitsu – so no dependence on a review of the allowance Copyright 2009 Fujitsu Services Limited

15 Private Medical in Detail
Fujitsu’s arrangement has one level of cover which is similar to Scheme 3 (the top scheme) and has no excess You will have a one time choice, two options: 1. Keep the allowance in Flex Fund: Continue to have the right to select cover through Your Choices Purchase costs are age related 2. Have your Flex Fund reduced by the current My Choices cost of your contractual entitlement and Fujitsu will give you that level of membership as a Company paid benefit: Able to modify cover through Your Choices If you flex down no cash will be given, but reduced tax cost In future years cover will continue to be paid by Fujitsu – so no dependence on a review of the allowance Copyright 2009 Fujitsu Services Limited

42 Risk and reward in saving for retirement
Equities Risk Reward/Return Deposits Bonds The value of your investment can fall as well as rise An explanation of Lifestyle Strategies: Equities (“stocks and shares”) offer the highest potential return over longer periods of time which means they are best suited to members with many years to go to retirement. In this situation, you ideally want the value of your retirement savings to grow faster than your salary or standard of living. Although there can be no guarantee as such, equities present the best prospect of achieving this. They are also the type of investment that is most subject to short-term volatility which makes them unsuited for members who are approaching the retirement age at which they will need to surrender their fund to provide benefits. At the other end of the spectrum, cash deposits do not fluctuate like equities but they offer a much lower long-term potential return. If you invest in cash while you still have many years to retirement, ten the likelihood is tat your fund will not grow by as much as you need to provide sufficient benefits at retirement. (Bonds are loans made to companies and governments on which the borrower pays interest. At the loan maturity date, the borrower then repays the capital borrowed. During the term of the loan, the bond can be sold by the lender to another investor who will then receive the future interest payments and the capital repayment at maturity. The price paid for the bond on such a re-sale will depend on market conditions at the time.) Bonds tend to be less volatile than equities (because they offer the security of a fixed price at maturity) but historically have not returned the same long-term growth. A Lifestyle Strategy is one which initially – with many years to go to retirement – invests your fund in equities. Then, as you get to within, say, 5 or 10 years of your target retirement age, it starts to switch your fund into bonds and cash. AT retirement, 25% of your fund is in cash and 75% in bonds. The rationale behind this is that up to 25% of your fund can be taken as tax free cash. The remaining 75% is then used to buy an annuity. Annuity prices tend to move broadly in line with bond prices. (This is because the insurance companies providing annuities invest largely in bonds to underwrite the annual pension amounts they commit to paying.) Although bonds may fall in value before you take your benefits, if this should happen, then annuity prices will tend to have fallen as well. Copyright 2009 Fujitsu Services Limited
