11 Factors to Consider About ERIB December 2013 Factors to Consider If you accept the Early Retirement Incentive Benefit (ERIB) offer, you will retire from your current employment. You will no longer receive any benefits from, nor have any obligations under, the LTD Plan. You will collect your pension income and receive your ERIB lump sum payment. Your Questions Whether ERIB is the right choice for you depends on your own personal circumstances. It is advisable that you speak with a financial advisor and your pension plan before you decide. You may also want to speak with your union representative, employer contact or HBT if you have questions or concerns about the process. See page 6 for contact information. Consulting with a Financial Advisor Your choice to accept the ERIB plan should reflect your personal goals. We also recommend reviewing your overall financial position before making a decision. You will benefit from meeting with a financial advisor by having the opportunity to discuss your financial options and goals. This will allow you to make an informed decision with ease and confidence. To get the most out of your consultation, we suggest collecting proper financial information and documents ahead of time. You should also review your personal goals which will be discussed with your financial advisor. Your Income After Electing ERIB 1. Lump Sum ERIB Payment You will receive a lump sum payment to make up for expected pension income lost as a result of retiring prior to age 65. Tax Considerations: Your lump sum payment is taxable income, it is only payable to you, and it cannot be transferred into an RRSP account. You will receive a T4A for the applicable tax year(s) of your payment(s). Deferred payments will accrue interest at the Bank of Canada T-bill rate. You will receive a T5 for the interest earned. It is advisable that you speak with a financial advisor about your options and the tax implications. 2. Pension Income Assuming your forms are submitted in accordance with your pension plan s requirements, your pension income will begin the first month after you retire. An estimate of your pension income is outlined in the offer letter, and is based on a Single Life Pension, No Guarantee form of pension. Other pension options are available to you and will be presented in your Pension Application package from your pension plan (Municipal Pension Plan or Public Service Pension Plan), which you should receive within two weeks of this offer date. It is advisable that you contact BC Pension Corporation for questions about your pension options, health benefit HEALTHCARE BENEFIT TRUST 2

LTD Income If you accept the ERIB offer and retire early, you will no longer receive your LTD benefit income. Your LTD income will continue through to the end of month that you retire on a prorated basis. You will not receive LTD income in subsequent months. If you have questions about your LTD income, contact Great-West Life (GWL). See page 6 for contact information. 4. Canada Pension Plan (CPP) Income If you are already in receipt of CPP disability benefit and choose to accept the ERIB offer you will continue to be entitled to your CPP disability benefit provided that you continue to meet the CPP eligibility requirements. Your CPP disability benefit should automatically convert to a CPP retirement pension at age 65. If you are not in receipt of a CPP disability benefit, you can elect to commence your CPP retirement pension starting at age 60. Contact CPP directly if you have questions. See page 6 for contact information. 5. Other Income Sources If you receive other income or disability payments, such as a WorkSafeBC permanent disability pension for loss of function or an ICBC settlement, you must contact these organizations directly to determine if that income will be affected by retirement. See page 6 for contact information. 6. Any other Family Related Financial Obligations All individuals considering ERIB are strongly encouraged to consult with the appropriate advisors. If you have family or marital related financial obligations, such as separation or divorce settlements with income provisions you are required to meet, it is advisable that you seek legal counsel and also speak with a financial advisor before making any decisions. Your Health Benefits 1. Health Benefits Through Your Employer (if applicable) Should you choose to retire early through the ERIB program, you may be entitled to continue to receive extended health benefits through your employer on a 50/50 cost share basis until age 65. To determine if you are eligible for this benefit or for more information, contact your employer or union representative. See page 6 for contact information. If at any time prior to age 65 you choose to discontinue health benefit coverage provided through your employer, please notify your employer. If you waive coverage through your employer, you will not be eligible to obtain coverage through BC Pension Corporation unless you can provide proof of comparable continuous coverage under another plan. If you do not want to receive health benefits through your employer you can contact your pension plan regarding health benefits available to you (see below). See page 6 for contact information.

13 Factors to Consider About ERIB December Health Benefits Through Your Pension Plan Extended health and dental benefits are available to you through your pension plan. Contact your pension plan and the Medical Services Plan of BC directly, for more information about benefits available to you. See page 6 for contact information.

If you take early retirement, you will continue to be covered by your employer s Group Life insurance until you turn 65 years of age.

You are entitled to apply to purchase a conversion life insurance policy from Great-West Life, without providing medical evidence of insurability. You may also apply for an individual policy that provides personalized coverage, however you may be required to provide medical evidence of insurability to satisfy the insurer.

16 EARLY RETIREMENT INCENTIVE BENEFIT (ERIB) Lump Sum Detailed Calculation Guide METHOD, ASSUMPTIONS AND DATA METHOD HBT s actuarial services complete a calculation to determine whether you are eligible for an Early Retirement Incentive Benefit (ERIB) lump sum. This same calculation is used to determine the amount of the lump sum. There are six steps used to determine your eligibility and amount of your ERIB lump sum: 1. Determine what your income would be if you do not retire early: a. Up to age 65 b. After age Determine what your income would be if you retire early: a. Up to age 65 b. After age Determine the difference in income, if any, from retiring early: a. Up to age 65 b. After age Determine the present value of your difference in income, if any, from retiring early 5. Compare the value of your loss of income to the value of future long-term disability payments 6. Establish eligibility and amount of early retirement incentive benefit lump sum 1. Determine what your income would be if you do not retire early If you do not retire early, you are assumed to satisfy the definition of claim and remain on LTD claim to age 65. You are then assumed to retire onto the BC Pension Corporation Pension Plan; Municipal Pension Plan (MPP) or Public Service Pension Plan (PSPP) at age 65. You could be entitled to receive: Up to age 65: Your current monthly benefits from the long-term disability plan with periodic indexing, where applicable After age 65: A monthly pension calculated by BC Pension Corporation, in the normal form and with periodic indexing (if provided), based on earnings and service at retirement (both growing while you are on disability) In this step, we determine the amount of monthly LTD benefit that you would receive until reaching age 65 and we calculate the amount of pension income stream that you can expect to receive from age 65 based on assumed earnings, service to age 65 and assumed indexing after age 65. December 2013 HEALTHCARE BENEFIT TRUST 1
17 ERIB Lump Sum Detailed Calculation Guide Method, Assumptions and Data Example: Sally may be eligible for an ERIB lump sum. She is 60 years old. Her current Net LTD benefit is $1,000 per month (the Net LTD benefit is net of offsets, like Canada Pension Plan (CPP) disability, but before tax). This amount is expected to increase to $1,100 per month, when she reaches age 62. Her projected pension amount, if she stays on LTD claim until age 65, is $1,500 per month, increasing with indexing as provided by the MPP. Sally s expected income if she doesn t retire early would be: o Up to age 65: $1,000 per month until age 62 and $1,100 per month until age 65. o After age 65: $1,500 per month (plus indexing as it occurs) 2. Determine what your income would be if you retire early If you retire early, you would no longer receive your LTD benefit. Instead, you would start your pension from BC Pension Corporation. Depending on your age and service, your pension may be subject to an early retirement reduction. In addition, your pension prior to age 65 will include an additional amount of pension payable to age 65, called a bridge. If you retire early you would be entitled to receive: Up to age 65: Your monthly pension plus bridge as determined by BC Pension Corporation, adjusted for periodic indexing (if provided) After age 65: Your monthly pension (excluding your bridge) determined by BC Pension Corporation including assumed indexing from your date of early retirement to age 65, and increasing with periodic indexing (if provided) thereafter In this step, we rely on the figures provided by BC Pension Corporation for your pension (and bridge) on early retirement. We calculate the income stream over time based on assumptions for future indexing from the pension plan. Example: MPP informs HBT that Sally is eligible to receive a pension on her early retirement of: o Up to age 65: $1,600 (including a $400 bridge) o After age 65: $1,200 (no bridge) Until reaching age 65, Sally s pension is assumed to increase with indexing. HBT determines that when Sally reaches age 65, her pension will increase from $1,200 per month to $1,300 per month. HBT uses the following as Sally s expected income assuming that she retires early: o Up to age 65: $1,600 per month (plus MPP indexing as it occurs) o After age 65: $1,300 per month (includes indexing to age 65 and then future indexing as it occurs) December 2013 HEALTHCARE BENEFIT TRUST 2
18 ERIB Lump Sum Detailed Calculation Guide Method, Assumptions and Data 3. Determine the difference in income, if any, from retiring early By retiring early, you will change your expected income stream from the amounts determined in step 1 above to the amounts determined in step 2 above. In this step, we determine the difference as follows: Up to age 65: The income that you would have received from the LTD plan (determined in step 1) less the income that you would receive from the pension plan on early retirement (determined in step 2) After age 65: Your monthly pension you would receive after age 65 assuming retirement at age 65 (determined in step 1) less the income that you would receive from the pension plan after age 65 following early retirement (determined in step 2) This difference may, and often does, result in an income gain in the period up to age 65 and an income loss in the period after age 65. Example: In Sally s case, her income difference prior to age 65 (including bridge) is (adjusted slightly for assumed pension indexing): o Until age 62: $600 gain ($1,600 monthly pension versus $1,000 net LTD payment) o Between age 62 and age 65: $500 gain ($1,600 monthly pension versus $1,100 net LTD payment) Her income difference after age 65 would be (adjusted for future assumed pension indexing): o $200 loss ($1,500 pension if she retired at age 65 versus expected $1,300 pension from age 65 if she retires today) 4. Determine the present value of your loss of income, if any, from retiring early The amounts in step 3 above are incomes in the future. In this step, we express the income stream (losses and gains from retiring early) as a single lump value, called the present value of your loss of income. Based on the assumptions below, we calculate the present value of your loss of income as follows: We start with the income differences determined in step 3. We multiply each payment by the likelihood of your receiving the future benefit (you are extremely likely to receive your LTD payment next month and less likely to receive your pension payment in the month following reaching age 90), and We apply a discount factor to future payments to determine today s value of each future payment ($1 today is worth more than $1 in the future. Payments in the future need to be discounted). The resulting value is the loss of income from retiring early. If the figure produced from the calculation is negative, there is no expected income loss. In fact, there is a gain in your total income (in long-term disability and pension when taken together) by retiring early. December 2013 HEALTHCARE BENEFIT TRUST 3
19 ERIB Lump Sum Detailed Calculation Guide Method, Assumptions and Data Example: In Sally s case, the present value of her loss would be approximately: o Income difference prior to age 65: $30,000 gain o Income difference after age 65: $40,000 loss o Total present value: $10,000 loss 5. Compare the value of your loss of income to the value of future long-term disability payments In its normal course of operation, HBT determines a value of your future long-term disability income payments. HBT holds this amount as a reserve. This reserve is determined using similar principles as what is used to determine the present value in step 4 above. The present value determined in step 4 above is compared to the reserve held for your long-term disability income payments. Example: Suppose that Sally s reserve for future LTD payments (assuming Sally doesn t retire) were $20,000. In this step, we compare: o Reserve of $20,000 o Present value of loss of income of $10, Establish eligibility and amount of early retirement incentive benefit lump sum You are eligible for an ERIB lump sum if HBT s reserve held on your behalf is greater than $1,500 and: We determined that you had a gain in step 4, or We determined that you had a loss in step 4 and it is less than the reserve held by HBT on your behalf. If eligible, the amount of your ERIB lump sum offer will be the maximum of: The loss determined in step 4, and $1,500. Example: Sally s present value of loss is less than her reserve, so Sally would be eligible for an ERIB lump sum. Sally would be entitled to the greater of $10,000 and $1,500, so she would receive an ERIB lump sum offer of $10,000. December 2013 HEALTHCARE BENEFIT TRUST 4
20 ERIB Lump Sum Detailed Calculation Guide Method, Assumptions and Data ASSUMPTIONS To calculate present values, we assume that you retire at age 65 or earlier. Key assumptions are: No changes in LTD offsets prior to age 65: existing offsets remain and no new offsets Likelihood of satisfying LTD definition of disability until age 65: 100% Likelihood of dying prior to age 65: none Likelihood of dying after age 65: in accordance with UP94 Generational Mortality table (90% female) Interest rate: first 10 years thereafter Price inflation: first 10 years thereafter Highest Average Salary Increase MPP Pension Increase (pension-in-pay) Yearly Maximum Pensionable Earnings (YMPE) Increase Long-term disability increases (if applicable) In addition, we also assume that there are no changes in long-term disability and pension plan provisions. DATA Our calculations are based on the following data: Date of Birth Date of Early Retirement Pensionable Service at date of Early Retirement Contributory Service at date of Early Retirement Highest Average Salary at date of Early Retirement Pensionable Service Accrual Rate at date of Early Retirement Net long-term disability income at date of Early Retirement Next long-term disability increase date December 2013 HEALTHCARE BENEFIT TRUST 5
