The headline is kind of misleading. It's the mainstream support that is ending, extended support is available until January 2020.

Which is outlined here: http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?LN=en-us

Basically, after January you will only get paid support (if you bought that) and security fixes, up to January you could get other stuff as well - not sure what that entails - the only MS support I've ever encountered are security fixes.
