(b) Post-employment medical benefits
The Group operates a number of post-employment medical benefit schemes, principally in the US. The method of
accounting, assumptions and the frequency of valuations are similar to those used for defined benefit pension schemes.
The US plan (Lenovo Future Health Account and Retiree Life Insurance Program) is currently funded by a trust that
qualifies for tax exemption under US tax law, out of which benefits to eligible retirees and dependents will be made.
Changes in future medical cost trend rates has no effect on the liabilities for post-employment medical benefits.
