HELPING YOU UNDERSTAND

Your Benefit Choices

2021
This is a high-level benefits guide of certain benefits your employer offers. The information in this booklet is intended as a general
outline of the benefits offered under your employers benefits program and should not be considered legal, investment or other
benefits advice. Specific details and plan limitations are provided in the Summary Plan Descriptions (SPD), which is based on
the official Plan Documents that may include policies, contracts and plan procedures. The SPD and Plan Documents contain
all the specific provisions of the plans. In the event that the information in this brochure differs from the Plan Documents, the
Plan Documents will prevail. Benefit plans are subject to change, amendment, or termination without notice to or the
agreement of any employee/participant. All protected health information is confidential, pursuant to the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. If you have any questions about your Guide, contact Human Resources.
If you (and/or your dependents) have Medicare or will become eligible for Medicare in the next 12 months, a Federal law gives
you more choices about your prescription drug coverage. Please see the “Notices” Section in the back of this benefits booklet.

control of your family planning and future. Kindbody’s mission is to make access to fertility and family-building
services more accessible to individuals, couples, LGBTQ+ people. We’re reimagining family planning to put the
power back in your hands.

Your Kindbody benefit gives you coverage on gynecology, fertility, and family-building services - from
preconception through postpartum.

Kindbody is available to all Rivian benefit eligible US employees!

Your Kindbody benefit through Rivian includes:


• 2 Fertility Cycle Coverage including fertility medication

RIVIAN Automotive LLC 401(k) Plan
To begin contributing to the plan, you must be at least 18 year of age. You are eligible to participate in
the Plan on or after your first day of employment and can change your contributions and investment
allocations to the plan at any time.

Pretax deferrals
Pretax deferrals are contributed into the plan on a pretax basis. Unlike the compensation you actually receive,
pretax deferrals will not be taxed at the time they are paid by your employer. Instead, these deferrals and any
earnings accumulated while invested in the plan will be taxable to you when withdrawn from the plan. This will
reduce your taxable income for each year that you make a contribution. Through payroll deduction, you can
contribute from 1% up to 100% of your salary pretax as long as the amount does not exceed $19,500, which is
the maximum limit for 2021 set by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Roth deferrals
Roth deferrals are contributed to the plan from amounts that have already been treated as taxable income. Roth
deferrals will not reduce your taxable income in the year in which you contribute a portion of your compensation
into the plan. You may contribute from 1% up to 100% of your salary as a Roth deferral as long as the total
amount, when combined with any pretax deferrals, does not exceed the IRS contribution limit of $19,500 for
2021. When Roth deferrals are withdrawn, distributions—including contributions and any earnings—are tax free
as long as certain requirements are met. In order to receive tax-free withdrawals, generally your money must
remain in the account for five years and you must have reached age 59½, die, or become disabled.

Catch-up contributions
If you are age 50 or older, you are entitled to contribute an additional “catch-up contribution” beyond the
maximum IRS limit of $19,500 for 2021. This is intended to help employees boost their savings prior to
retirement. The maximum catch-up contribution is $6,500 for 2021.

Employer matching contributions


Rivian will match 50% of your combined pre-tax and Roth contributions up to the first 4% of eligible earnings,
subject to applicable IRS limits. All employer match contributions vest immediately. The money that you
contribute from your salary and any rollover contributions are always 100% vested.

Rollovers
You are allowed to roll over money from other qualifying retirement accounts into this account. Please reach out
to the Benefits team at benefits@rivian.com to initiate the rollover process. There are important factors to
consider when rolling over assets from an IRA or an employer retirement plan account. These factors include,
but are not limited to, investment options in each type of account, fees and expenses, available services,
potential withdrawal penalties, protection from creditors and legal judgements, required minimum distributions,
and tax consequences of rolling over employer stock.

COBRA

COBRA COVERAGE (cont.)

Disability Extension Of 18-month Period Of COBRA Continuation


Coverage
If you or anyone in your family covered under the Plan is determined by Social
Security to be disabled and you notify the Plan Administrator in a timely fashion,
you and your entire family may be entitled to get up to an additional 11 months
of COBRA continuation coverage, for a maximum of 29 months. The disability
would have to have started at some time before the 60th day of COBRA
continuation coverage and must last at least until the end of the 18-month
period of COBRA continuation coverage.

Second Qualifying Event Extension Of 18-month Period Of Continuation


Coverage
If your family experiences another qualifying event during the 18 months of
COBRA continuation coverage, the spouse and dependent children in your
family can get up to 18 additional months of COBRA continuation coverage, for
a maximum of 36 months, if the Plan is properly notified about the second
qualifying event. This extension may be available to the spouse and any
dependent children getting COBRA continuation coverage if the employee or
former employee dies; becomes entitled to Medicare benefits (under Part A,
Part B, or both); gets divorced or legally separated; or if the dependent child
stops being eligible under the Plan as a dependent child. This extension is only
available if the second qualifying event would have caused the spouse or
dependent child to lose coverage under the Plan had the first qualifying event
not occurred.

Are There Other Coverage Options Besides COBRA Continuation


Coverage?
Yes. Instead of enrolling in COBRA continuation coverage, there may be other
coverage options for you and your family through the Health Insurance
Marketplace, Medicaid, or other group health plan coverage options (such as a
spouse’s plan) through what is called a “special enrollment period.” Some of
these options may cost less than COBRA continuation coverage. You can learn
more about many of these options at www.healthcare.gov.

If you have questions concerning your Plan or your COBRA continuation


coverage rights should be addressed to the contact or contacts identified
below. For more information about your rights under the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act (ERISA), including COBRA, the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act, and other laws affecting group health plans, contact the
nearest Regional or District Office of the U.S. Department of Labor’s Employee
Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) in your area or visit www. dol.gov/ebsa.
(Addresses and phone numbers of Regional and District EBSA Offices are
available through EBSA’s website.)
For more information about the Marketplace, visit www.healthcare.gov.

**Keep Your Plan Administrator Informed Of Address Changes**


To protect your family’s rights, let the Plan Administrator know about any
changes in the addresses of family members. You should also keep a copy, for
your records, of any notices you send to the Plan Administrator.
