What to Expect

At ANSYS, we encourage you to be and do your best. As part of that effort, we provide a full suite of comprehensive and competitive benefits that are designed to support you and your family.

As in recent years, the costs of our plan — especially claims — continue to escalate, which has a direct impact on the price we all pay for coverage. ANSYS absorbs a significant portion of plan premiums, allowing us to offer an affordable, comprehensive benefits package for our employees. Therefore, you will continue to enjoy the same plans, available from the same carriers in the coming year.

Benefit Basics

Benefits Enrollment

When Benefits Begin

There are three basic types of benefits enrollment:

� Open Enrollment: Occurs once a year and is your annual opportunity to change your benefit elections or add/change dependents. Open Enrollment for the 2017 plan year is October 31 – November 18, 2016.

� New Hire Enrollment: As a newly hired employee, you are eligible for benefits beginning on your date of hire.

� Qualified Life Event (QLE): Other than during Open Enrollment or when you are newly hired, you can only make changes to your benefits if you experience a QLE, as mandated by the IRS. Read on for details.

Eligibility

All employees who are scheduled to work at least 30 hours per week are eligible for benefits as described in this enrollment guide. If you are an eligible employee, the following dependents are also eligible for benefits enrollment:

� Your child(ren) up to age 26;

� Your disabled, unmarried child(ren) over the age of 26; and

� Your spouse. Note: If your spouse (we’ll use the term ‘spouse’ in this communication to refer to both spouse and domestic partner) has access to other group coverage and you choose to cover him or her on your ANSYS medical plan, you will pay a surcharge of $37.50 per pay period. See your 2017 medical rates for more information on the spousal surcharge.

Qualified Life Event

After you enroll, you cannot make changes to your benefits before the next enrollment period, unless you experience a qualified life event. These include:

� Marriage, establishment of domestic partnership, divorce, termination of domestic partnership or legal separation;

� Birth, adoption or legal guardianship of a child;

� Death of a covered dependent;

� A change in your or your dependents’ employment status that results in a gain or loss of benefits, including an unpaid leave of absence for you or your spouse; and

� A change in dependents’ eligibility for benefits.

The date your benefits become effective depends on your type of enrollment:

Medical Plan Basics

The ANSYS medical plans offer you the flexibility to choose your plan based on your location and your doctors, putting you in control. Plan availability depends on where you live:

� Highmark (PPO): Everyone has access to the HRA, Core and Buy-Up plans from Highmark Blue Cross/Blue Shield. These plans cover the same services, include prescription drug coverage and offer in- and out-of-network coverage with no referral necessary. For some services, an annual deductible must be met before the plan will begin to pay its share of covered expenses (called coinsurance). For other services, you pay a copay and the deductible does not apply. However, the coverage level, deductible and your contribution rate vary (the HRA plan comes paired with a Company-funded Health Reimbursement Account). All three Highmark plans include the same out-of-pocket maximum to protect you financially.

� UPMC (EPO): Employees who reside in Western Pennsylvania may have the option to enroll in the HRA, Core and Buy-Up plans from UPMC. These plans are similar to the Highmark plans but offer coverage for providers in the UPMC network only (no referral necessary).

� Kaiser (HMO): Employees in portions of California may also have the option to enroll in an HMO from Kaiser Permanente. This plan offers coverage for providers in the Kaiser network only. In addition, a referral from a primary care physician is required to see specialists. This plan does not have an annual deductible.

Understanding Your Deductible and Out-of-Pocket Maximum

The Highmark and UPMC plans come with an embedded family deductible and out-of-pocket maximum. Here’s what that means for your family:

Annual Deductible:

� If one person reaches the plan’s individual annual deductible, coinsurance begins for just that person.

� If a combination of family members’ expenses reach the family deductible, coinsurance begins for everyone on the plan.

Annual Out-of-Pocket Maximum:

� If one person meets the plan’s individual annual out-of-pocket maximum, 100% of eligible expenses for the remainder of the year are covered for that person.

� If two people on the plan have expenses that, when combined, meet the plan’s family annual out-of-pocket maximum, 100% of eligible expenses for the remainder of the year are covered for everyone on the plan.

Prescription Drugs

Prescription Drugs

When you enroll in an ANSYS medical plan, you receive prescription drug coverage at no additional cost.

Prescription drug coverage is designed to provide prescription drugs at a reduced cost when a network pharmacy is used, and to offer discounted costs for participating in a mail order service for long-term or maintenance medications. The amount you pay depends on whether the prescribed drug is a generic or appears on the administrator’s formulary, which is a list of preferred drugs.

� Generic: These drugs are the most affordable way for you to get quality medications at the lowest out-of-pocket cost. Generic drugs are often just as effective as brand name drugs and meet all the same FDA standards.

� Preferred (Formulary): These are brand name drugs that are on the Preferred Drug List (formulary). You will pay more for these medications than for generic drugs.

� Non-Preferred (Non-Formulary): These are brand name drugs that are not on the Preferred Drug List (formulary). In this category, your out-of-pocket expense will be the highest, though still discounted from full retail. Note: Not applicable to Kaiser.

Plan features Highmark UPMC Kaiser

Retail Pharmacy: Up to a 31-Day Supply Up to a 31-Day Supply Up to a 30-Day Supply

Generic $10 copay $10 copay $15 copay

Preferred (Formulary) $40 copay $40 copay $35 copay

Preferred (Formulary) $80 copay $80 copay $70 copay

Non-Preferred (Non-Formulary) $130 copay $130 copay not covered

* The networks and mail order services vary between the medical plans administered by Highmark, UPMC and Kaiser. For comprehensive coverage details, refer to your official plan documents, which are available in the Resource Library at ansysbenefits.ebenservices.com.

Mandatory Generics

The prescription drug program requires the use of generic medications when they are available, EXCEPT when your physician indicates “Dispense as Written.” You may be responsible for the cost difference between the name brand drug and a generic when the generic is available. Please remember to always ask for a generic substitute from your doctor or pharmacist.

After you’ve paid your copay, the plan pays 100% of covered prescription expenses.

Health Reimbursement Arrangement

The Highmark and UPMC HRA medical plans are paired with a Health Fund HRA that is managed by Human Resource Administrators.

A Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) is an employer-funded, tax-advantaged account that you can use to pay for eligible deductible and coinsurance expenses, both in- and out-of-network.

Important Facts:

� If you enroll in an HRA medical plan administered by either Highmark or UPMC, ANSYS will open and contribute to an HRA on your behalf. The contribution amount depends on the coverage level you select:

Æ Individual coverage: $750

Æ Family coverage: $1,500

� You cannot contribute any of your own money to the HRA, but you can contribute to a Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA), which affords you similar tax savings. Note: If you enroll in an HRA medical plan and also elect to contribute to a Health Care FSA, eligible expenses will be paid through the HRA first. Once HRA funds are depleted, FSA funds will be applied to eligible expenses.

� The funds in your HRA can be used to pay for eligible in- and out-of-network deductible and coinsurance expenses in 2017 and beyond. If you stay enrolled in the HRA medical plan, any balance in your HRA rolls over to the next year. Note: HRA balances cannot exceed $1,500 for individual coverage or $3,000 for family coverage.

� To apply HRA funds to an eligible expense, make the purchase using your own money, then complete a claim form to receive reimbursement. You can also submit your claim electronically. Click here for details.

� As long as the money in your HRA is used to pay for eligible expenses, you will not be taxed on it.

� If you leave ANSYS or choose a different type of medical plan in the future, you may forfeit any funds in your HRA.

HRA

If you enroll in an HRA medical plan administered by either Highmark or UPMC, ANSYS will open and contribute to an HRA on your behalf. The contribution amount depends on the coverage level you select.

� Before you enroll, estimate your eligible expenses for the coming year and determine how much you want to set aside from your pay to go into your FSA.

� After you’ve enrolled, the money you elect for your FSA will be automatically deducted from your paycheck on a pre-tax basis and credited to your FSA over the course of the year.

� During the year, you can pay for eligible expenses using personal funds, then submit a claim for FSA reimbursement. Health Care FSA participants will also receive a mySourceCard debit card that can be used to directly pay for eligible expenses.

� If you contribute to both FSAs, you cannot use money from one to pay for eligible expenses from the other account.

� You have until March 31 of the following plan year to submit claims for expenses incurred during the current plan year. You can receive reimbursement for these expenses as long as you were an ANSYS employee at the time of the expense and contributed to the FSA during the current plan year. You cannot submit expenses incurred after termination unless you extend your coverage through COBRA.

Health Care FSA Dependent Care FSA

The Health Care FSA allows you to use pre-tax dollars to pay for certain health care expenses for you and your dependents. You may elect to contribute up to $2,550 a year.

Health Care FSA Carryover

You may carry over up to $500 in unused Health Care FSA funds into the next plan year. The carryover amount will not count toward your annual maximum. Funds that carry over from the previous year that are not used by the end of the current year are forfeited.

mySourceCard Debit Card

You will receive a mySourceCard debit card that can be used to pay for eligible Health Care FSA expenses directly. If you need additional cards, contact Employee Benefits Services at 1-877-267-9705.

With the Dependent Care FSA, you can use pre-tax dollars to pay for the care of dependent children younger than age 13 and other disabled or elderly dependents so that you can work or look for work. These individuals must be claimed as your income tax dependents.

You may elect to contribute up to $5,000 ($2,500 if married and filing separate tax returns) each year. Remember to carefully estimate your expenses. Funds that remain in your Dependent Care FSA at the end of the year will be forfeited.

Dental

ANSYS offers you the choice of two dental plans administered by MetLife:

� With the Low Option, you can visit any provider of your choice. The plan pays 100% of negotiated fees for preventive care without having to first satisfy a deductible. A deductible applies to other services and once the annual benefit maximum is met, the plan does not pay any other benefits for the remainder of the year.

� The High Option offers the same benefits as the Low Option, with a higher annual benefit maximum and an orthodontia benefit for children age 26 and under.

** Your annual deductible must first be met before the plan will pay its share of these services.

You’ll benefit from negotiated fees when you receive care from a MetLife provider in the PDP Plus Network. When you visit out-of-network providers, you will be responsible for any expenses that are above the plan’s regular in-network negotiated rates, which are determined by a review of charges for similar services within a geographic area.

Disability

Important Facts:

� For the first week of disability, ANSYS will pay you at 100% of your salary during the elimination period and consider this sick time.

� STD and LTD benefits are reduced by any amounts you receive from other plans, such as Social Security and workers’ compensation.

� A preexisting condition may affect the payment of LTD benefits.

ANSYS covers the cost for your short-term and long-term disability benefits.

While health insurance may cover most medical bills, daily living expenses continue when you are unable to work.

Disability insurance provides partial income replacement if you are unable to work due to a qualifying illness or injury. The ANSYS disability plan is administered by Liberty Mutual and available at no additional cost to you.

� Short-term disability (STD) insurance: Replaces a portion of your income if a non-work related disability or injury prevents you from working more than seven days. Your STD benefits continue until you recover, or up to 13 weeks.

� Long-term disability (LTD) insurance: Begins after you have been absent from work for 90 days and continues for as long as you are disabled, up to age 65 or Social Security Retirement Age.

Short-Term Disability (STD) Benefits Long-Term Disability (LTD) Benefits

� Provide 60% of your weekly earnings, up to a maximum weekly benefit of $2,500;

� Are payable after a period of seven calendar days due to injury or sickness; and

� End at either the end of the disability or after 13 weeks, whichever comes first.

� Provide 60% of your monthly covered earnings, up to a maximum monthly benefit of $10,000;

� Are payable after a period of 90 consecutive days due to injury or sickness; and

� Continue for as long as you are disabled, up to age 65 or Social Security Retirement Age if you first became disabled before age 60. Note: If you first become disabled after age 60, a schedule of benefits will apply.

Financial Benefits

401(k) Retirement Plan

The ANSYS, Inc. Employees’ Retirement Program, administered by Fidelity, helps you plan for your financial needs after you retire.

401(k) contributions are automatically deducted from your paycheck. You have two ways to save for your future:

� Traditional 401(k) contributions are deducted before taxes, lowering your current taxable income and deferring the tax payment on both contributions and earnings until you take a distribution (usually after you retire when your tax bracket is lower).

� Roth contributions are deducted after taxes, meaning you will not pay any taxes on the earnings in the future.

Important Facts:

� You will automatically be enrolled, after 30 days of employment, at a contribution rate of 3% of your eligible earnings.

� Your contributions will be automatically invested in the T Rowe Price Retirement Fund with a target retirement date based on your current age.

� You can contribute between 1% and 100% of your eligible pay, up to the maximum set annually by the IRS. If you are age 50 or older, you may make separate, additional “catch-up” contributions as determined by the IRS.

Years of Employment Vested Percentage

1 25%

2 50%

3 75%

4 100%

� ANSYS will match 100% of the first 3% of your contributions, then 25% on the next 5% of your contributions. The total maximum employer match is 4.25%. Employees are eligible for the ANSYS Company match in the first pay period after achieving one year and 1,000 hours of service.

� You are always 100% vested in your own plan contributions and their earnings. Here is the vesting schedule for the Company’s matching contributions:

We help your money grow! When eligible, ANSYS will match 100% of the first 3% of your contributions, plus 25% on the next 5% of your contributions, up to a maximum match of 4.25%.

Financial Benefits

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)

Through the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), you can purchase ANSYS, Inc. common stock at a 10% discount using convenient payroll deductions.

How the ESPP works:

� When you enroll, you specify the contribution amount to be deducted from your paycheck, based on a whole percentage (1% to 10%) of your eligible earnings.

� Your contributions accumulate during these offering periods:

Æ February 1 – July 31; and

Æ August 1 – January 31.

� You may withdraw your balance during the offering period. If you choose to do this you will be refunded your contributions in the next possible payroll. In order to participate in a future offering period, you will have to re-enroll at the appropriate time.

� At the end of an offering period the fair market value (closing price) of the stock on the first day of the offering period is compared to the fair market value (closing price) of the stock on the last day of the offering period. The lower of these two closing prices is discounted by 10% for employee purchase.

� After you have purchased stock through the ESPP, you must retain ownership for a period of one year from the purchase date.

Glossary

Administrator / Carrier

An insurance company that provides services and support to a benefit plan.

Coinsurance

The percentage of the bill you are responsible for paying after your deductible is met.

Copay

The flat dollar amount you pay for certain services, such as prescription drug purchases and in-network office visits for the Core and Buy-Up medical plans.

Deductible

The amount you pay each year before the plan pays its share of the costs. It does not apply to some services, such as in-network office visits for the Core and Buy-Up medical plans and in-network preventive care for all plans.

EPO

An Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO) is a type of health plan that usually limits coverage to care from providers who work for or contract with the EPO. It generally does not cover out-of-network care, except in an emergency. The UPMC medical plans are EPOs.

Flexible Spending Account (FSA)

A tax-advantaged account that allows you to withhold money from your paycheck for use in paying eligible expenses. ANSYS offers you the opportunity to participate in a Health Care FSA or Dependent Care FSA.

Formulary (Non-Formulary)

A list of prescription drugs, both generic and brand name, used by prescription drug administrators to identify medicines that offer the greatest overall value. Highmark, UPMC and Kaiser prescription drug plans each include their own formulary.

Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA)

The ANSYS Health Fund HRA is an employer-funded, tax-advantaged account that allows you to pay for eligible medical and prescription drug expenses tax-free. If you enroll in the HRA plan from Highmark or UPMC, ANSYS will contribute to an HRA on your behalf.

HMO

A Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) is a type of health plan that usually limits coverage to care from providers who work for or contract with the HMO. It generally will not cover out-of-network care, except in an emergency. In addition, you are usually required to designate a primary care physician, who manages your care and will refer you for care from other providers as needed. The Kaiser medical plan is an HMO.

In-Network

Any provider or facility participating in a carrier’s selected group of physicians, hospitals and other health care professionals, known as a network. When visiting an in-network provider, your out-of-pocket expenses will be lower, and you will not be responsible for filing claims.

Out-of-Network

Any provider or facility not participating in the network. When visiting out-of-network providers, your out-of-pocket expenses will be higher and you may be responsible for filing the necessary claims. You may also be billed by providers for any charges over the allowed amount.

Out-of-Pocket Maximum

The maximum amount you will pay out-of-pocket during the year for covered services, including your deductible, coinsurance, copays, prescription drug cost sharing and other qualified medical expenses, in-network only. After you reach this maximum, the plan pays 100% of covered benefits, with the exception of plan exclusions and out-of-network provider charges.

PPO

A Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) is a type of health plan that contracts with medical providers, such as hospitals and doctors, to create a network of participating providers. In a PPO, you are not typically required to visit providers within the PPO network but you will pay less when you do. The Highmark medical plans are PPOs.
