Health Savings Account

1. With respect to federal taxation only. Contributions, investment earnings, and distributions may or may not be subject to state taxation. 2. Spending HSA money is tax-free when used to pay for qualified medical expenses. 3. Exo does charge a recordkeeping fee to employers who offer a Exo HSA to their employees. This is a common fee charged by HSA providers.

Employers may choose to pass that fee on to their employees. At Exo, that fee may be up to $48/year, but it could be reduced or waived depending on the HSA balance. Zero account minimums and zero account fees apply to Exo Brokerage accounts only.

Account minimums may apply to certain account types (e.g., managed accounts) and/or the purchase of some Exo mutual funds that have a minimum investment requirement. If you choose to invest in mutual funds, underlying fund expenses still apply.

There may also be commissions, interest charges, and other expenses associated with transacting or holding specific investments (e.g., mutual funds), or selecting certain account features or types (e.g., managed accounts) Additionally, accounts that have been opened through, or are serviced by, an intermediary, or in connection with your workplace benefits, may incur additional fees or restrictions.

4. Opening an HSA with a third-party provider, other than your employer, may limit your opportunity to use pre-tax payroll contributions. Although post-tax contributions are federal income tax-deductible, you will be required to pay FICA taxes.

This means third-party HSAs may not be as tax-advantaged as employer-provided HSAs.
