Daiichi Sankyo 2011 Open Enrollment Brochure Enthusiastic Thoughtful Creative

November 2010Dear Daiichi Sankyo employees:Daiichi Sankyo, Inc. (DSI) is committed to offering you a competitive and comprehensive healthand welfare benefits package. We pride ourselves on consistently being “above market” foremployee benefits compared to general industry and our pharmaceutical competitors. Each year: • We evaluate our plan designs, • Compare ourselves to our competitors and the general pharmaceutical industry, and • Negotiate with our providers to make sure we can continue to meet our commitment to you, even as health care costs have increased over the past several years.The challenge of rising health care costs is not unique to DSI — all employers are feeling thepinch. In 2010, our benefits costs increased significantly because of medical plan inflation.Additionally, although passage of health care reform enhances your health care benefits, itadds cost to the plan in order to comply with some of the bill’s provisions.Since the Company’s start in 1997, DSI has kept to a minimum benefit reductions and costincreases for our employees, especially compared to industry standards and health care inflation.Over the years, we have made only minor changes to the medical and dental plans. In fact, inmost years we actually made plan enhancements, and only slightly increased contributions tokeep pace with health care inflation, or less, or some years not at all. However, we can no longercontinue to absorb these significant cost increases without making changes.For 2011 we will be asking you to share a greater portion of the costs. We are doing this by: • Making changes to some of the medical plan employee cost-sharing features, and • Increasing your medical and dental plan contributions.Despite these changes, our plans are more generous and your contribution dollars continue tobe equal to or less than our pharmaceutical industry benchmarks.This brochure has more detail about the changes. We want to provide you with all of theinformation you need to make informed benefit decisions as they are an important part of yourtotal compensation. We will continue to provide additional information to you throughout ourOpen Enrollment period.Your once-a-year opportunity to make changes to your benefits is coming soon. Open Enrollmentruns from Monday, November 8 through Friday, November 19, 2010.At Daiichi Sankyo, we are committed to you and we thank you for your contribution toour success.Sincerely,Joe Pieroni President and Chief Science OfficerPresident and CEO Daiichi Sankyo Pharma DevelopmentDaiichi Sankyo, Inc.Glenn Gormley 1

Health Care Reform ChangesOn March 23, 2010, President Obama signed into law thePatient Protection and Affordable Care Act (also known as“health care reform” or PPACA), enacting health care reformand expanding coverage to all Americans. As a result, this yearand over the next several years, we will be making changesto our health care benefits to comply with this legislation.The following changes will apply to both the Premier Plan andBasic Plan effective January 1, 2011, except where noted:Special Enrollment for Adult Children: Children will be eligiblefor coverage under one of the Daiichi Sankyo medical and dentalplans up to the end of the month in which they reach age 26.Your child is eligible even if he or she: • Is married, • Does not live with you, • Is not a full-time student, • Is not your tax dependent, and/or • Has other coverage available elsewhere.You may enroll any child who is under age 26 as of January 1, 2011, even if he or she lost eligibility beforeJanuary 1, 2011. In addition, if your child is handicapped as defined under our plan (see our Summary PlanDescription on the DSI intranet), no age limit applies.Elimination of Lifetime Maximum: The maximum lifetime limit under the Basic Plan will be eliminatedstarting January 1, 2011. If you or a dependent were previously denied medical coverage because youreached the plan’s lifetime maximum, you’re eligible to re-enroll in the plan. The Premier Plan does not havea lifetime maximum.In-network preventive services will be 100% covered: CIGNA’s Outpatient Mentalin-network preventive care will be covered at 100% with no copay. Health/SubstanceThis benefit is available under both medical plans. Please note that for Abuse Office Visitspreventive care services to be covered at 100%, your doctor mustcode these services as preventive, rather than diagnostic.

What’s New for 2011Medical Plan ChangesSome of our medical plan changes for 2011 affect what you pay for plan services, including an increase in theannual deductibles, out-of pocket maximums and some copays (a copay is the up front payment you make forservices before plan benefits are payable). However, the plans still cover a very high percentage of the costsfor services. Additionally, as a result of health care reform legislation, in-network preventive care will be covered100% and, in the Basic Plan, there will no longer be a lifetime maximum amount for your medical coverage.The plans continue to have low out-of-pocket calendar year maximums that protect you from paying significantexpenses in the event of a major illness or if you have a hospital stay. An out-of-pocket maximum is the mostyou will spend out-of-pocket for eligible covered expenses in a calendar year. The individual annual out-of-pocket maximum for services will be $1,000 in the Premier Plan if you use in-network services and $2,000 onan out-of-network basis; in-network and out-of-network out-of-pocket expenses work together. Once youreach the maximum, you are covered at 100% for the remainder of the calendar year. Furthermore, yourout-of-network costs count toward your in-network deductible and maximum and vice versa and include yourdeductibles and coinsurance percentage. The Premier Plan also counts copays towards the out-of-pocketmaximum. We’ll provide examples for you during Open Enrollment.Here is an overview of the Premier and Basic medical plans. The costs to you that have increased are in bold. 2011 Medical Plan Changes Comparison Chart Premier Plan Basic PlanBenefit In-Network Out-of-Network In-Network Out-of-NetworkAnnual Deductible $250* $750** $750** $1,000 Individual Family $500* $1,500** $1,500** $2,000Annual $1,000** $2,000** $2,000** $4,000**Out-of-pocket Individual Individual Individual IndividualMaximum $2,000** $4,000** $4,000** $8,000** Family Family Family FamilyLifetime Benefit Unlimited Unlimited Unlimited UnlimitedMaximumPreventive Care 100% covered 20% after deductible 100% covered 40% after deductiblePCP Office Visit $15 copay** 20% after deductible $40 copay** 40% after deductibleSpecialist Visit $30 copay** 20% after deductible $60 copay** 40% after deductibleInpatient HospitalEmergency Room 10% after deductible 20% after deductible $250 copay then 40% after deductible(copay waived 20%, after deductibleif admitted) $200 copay* then $200 copay* then $250 copay** then $250 copay** then 10%, no deductible 10%, no deductible 20%, no deductible 20%, no deductibleCoinsurance for 10% 20% 20% 40%Most Other Services*** NInecwrease 3
