If you are an ABB OPTICAL GROUP employee, unless otherwise elected, you will be automatically enrolled to defer 3% of compensation immediately, and your deferrals will be increased 1% a year automatically until you are deferring 6% of your salary. You can opt out or change your contribution amount any time.

Your contributions are matched whether you contributions are pre-tax or Roth.

Consult your tax advisor for considerations.
