This will serve as your initial investment allocation This guide and its information was provided by VOYA Financial. Fidelity Investments is not responsible for its content.

2 Things to do Decide how you want your contributions and/or transferred existing balance to be invested in your new Plan account with Voya. Important Your beneficiary designation records will transfer over to the new Plan account; however, it is very important that you review and update your beneficiary designations as necessary. This is a good time to make sure your designations are current by: 1) c alling Voya s Retirement Readiness Service Center at (800) or 2) online at VoyaRetirementPlans.com. Make preparations so that your assets are distributed to the individual(s) of your choice. Invest your way - Election change Although the Plan is automatically mapping your contribution elections (allocations) to the new investments, you can invest these assets in any of the other options offered in the Plan. Be certain to submit your request no later than the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), generally, 4:00 pm eastern time on December 20 to ensure directions are received prior to the transition. Beginning September 28, access your Plan account at VoyaRetirementPlans.com. Select your investment option elections by clicking Account > Manage Investments > Change Elections. Your contributions will be invested into the investment option(s) you select and in accordance the percentages you designate. If you prefer customer service assistance, you can also contact Voya at (800) Our customer service associates will be happy to assist you with this request. IMPORTANT: Any election change you submit as described above will also direct how each of your ongoing payroll deferrals to the Plan are invested with Voya. You can request a new election change at any time following the transition. Following the switch of contributions to the Plan on January 2, 2019, you are always able to transfer your balance between investments and/or change how your payroll deferrals are invested, subject to Voya s Excessive Trading Policy and equity wash provisions. These are described in the accompanying Retirement Choice II Information Booklet. Key transition dates 02 I Date Event September 28 Access your new Plan account at Voya. Decide if you want to change how your contributions are invested and/or whether or not you want to exchange your current Voya account balance to your new Plan account with Voya. December 2018 Last contributions to your current Plan account balance. January 2019 First contributions to your new Plan account with Voya. March 31, 2019 First combined statement reflecting contributions made to your new Plan account during the quarterly statement period.

3 Fees and Expenses Understanding the fees and expenses of your retirement investments is important and sometimes complicated! Recordkeeping and administrative service fees will continue to apply to your account after this transition. Today, all fees for the Plan s administrative costs are included in the expenses charged by the Plan s investment options. These are not explicit deductions visible to you in your account or as a separate line item on your quarterly statements. Advisory Services: An annual expense of 0.50% applies if you elect to utilize the Morningstar Retirement ManagerSM Have Morningstar Manage My Plan service*. For further information, including costs and features, please click Get Advice to get additional information about Morningstar Retirement ManagerSM available online at VoyaRetirementPlans.com. This service will be available in your account once you have a balance with Voya. Without full administrative fee transparency, you may be under the impression that your overall cost to participate in this Plan is lower than it actually is. To ensure greater transparency for you, Voya will deduct all recordkeeping and administrative service fees as a separate line item on your new Plan account. With the Plan s increased fee transparency, you ll know exactly what you are being charged for Voya s services. Perhaps more important, going forward the Plan will reimburse Voya the same fees regardless of the investment options you select. IMPORTANT: The projections or other information generated by Morningstar Retirement Manager regarding the likelihood of various retirement income and/or investment outcomes are hypothetical in nature, do not reflect actual results (including investment results) and are not guarantees of future results. Results may vary with each use and over time. Beginning as early as October, Voya will deduct an annualized asset-based fee of 0.50% from your account on a quarterly basis. This is the total fee for Voya s recordkeeping services and, as noted previously, is a reduction in the overall fees you are charged today. Individual mutual fund fees will still apply based on selected investments. The deduction will come pro-rated, or in proportion, from each of the investments within your account including the Voya Fixed Plus Account III.

The fund prospectuses and information booklet containing this and other information can be obtained by contacting your local representative. Please read the information carefully before investing. Mutual funds under a trust or custodial account agreement are intended to be long-term investments designed for retirement purposes. If withdrawals are taken prior to age 59½, an IRC 10% premature distribution penalty tax will apply, unless an IRS exception applies. Account values fluctuate with market conditions, and when surrendered, the principal may be worth more or less than the original amount invested. A group fixed annuity is an insurance contract designed for investing for retirement purposes. The guarantee of the fixed account is based on the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company. Although it is possible to have guaranteed income for life with a fixed annuity, there is no assurance that this income will keep up with inflation. Money taken from the plan will be taxed as ordinary income in the year the money is distributed. An annuity does not provide any additional tax benefit, as tax deferral is provided by the Plan. Annuities may be subject to additional fees and expenses, to which other tax-deferred funding vehicles may not be subject. However, an annuity does offer other features and benefits, such as lifetime income payments and death benefits, which may be valuable to you. For 403(b)(1) fixed or variable annuities, employee deferrals (including earnings) may generally be distributed only upon your: attainment of age 59½, severance from employment, death, disability, or hardship. Note: Hardship withdrawals are limited to employee deferrals made after 12/31/88. Exceptions to the distribution rules: No Internal Revenue Code withdrawal restrictions apply to 88 cash value (employee deferrals (including earnings) as of 12/31/88) and employer contributions (including earnings). However, employer contributions made to an annuity contract issued after December 31, 2008 may not be paid or made available before a distributable event occurs. Such amounts may be distributed to a participant or if applicable, the beneficiary: upon the participant s severance from employment or upon the occurrence of an event, such as after a fixed number of years, the attainment of a stated age, or disability. For 403(b)(7) custodial accounts, employee deferrals and employer contributions (including earnings) may only be distributed upon your: attainment of age 59½, severance from employment, death, disability, or hardship. Note: hardship withdrawals are limited to: employee deferrals and 88 cash value (earnings on employee deferrals and employer contributions (including earnings) as of 12/31/88).
