If the retirement program provides a participant access to the Fixed Income Guaranteed Option and Competing Plan Investment Options, participant transfers, either directly or indirectly, to Competing Plan Investment Options will generally be subject to an Equity Wash. An Equity Wash requires that transfers must be directed to a non-competing investment option under the plan for 90-days before such transferred amounts may be directed to any other Competing Plan Investment Option. Competing Plan Investment Options include other guaranteed investment options, or fixed income, money market, or bond funds that have ever had an average duration of 3.0 years or less. 12. The Fixed Income Guaranteed Option is a guarantee backed by the general account of Principal Life Insurance Company(Principal Life). As a guarantee, it does not have an investment management fee or expense ratio; those are concepts unique to investment products. The Rate Level Service Fee illustrated here represents the part of the overall fee arrangement that the plan pays for services from Principal Life as a provider of administrative services to the plan, as agreed to in the Service and Expense Agreement for the plan. 13. The crediting rate shown for the Fixed Income Guaranteed Option is an effective annual rate and is displayed here as the rate guaranteed by Principal Life net of the fees for administrative services to the plan illustrated in the Rate Level Service Fee column for the Fixed Income Guaranteed Option. 17. Fixed-income and asset allocation investment options that invest in mortgage securities are subject to increased risk due to real estate exposure. 18. Instances of high double-digit returns were achieved primarily during favorable market conditions and may not be sustainable over time. 20. Effective May 1, 2009, LA Capital was added as an additional sub-advisor. Performance results displayed reflect all sub-advisors managing this portfolio during the time periods displayed. 21. The manager of the Fund, Principal Management Corporation, invests between 10% and 40% of the Fund's assets in common stocks in an attempt to match or exceed the performance of the Fund's benchmark index for performance. 22. Asset allocation does not guarantee a profit or protect against a loss. Investing in real estate, small-cap, international, and high-yield investment options involves additional risks. Additionally there is no guarantee this investment option will provide adequate income at or through retirement. 23. The Investment Advisor will display "Multiple Sub-Advisors" for certain target-date, target-risk and specialty investment options where the assets are directed by the Investment Manager to multiple underlying investment options. These underlying investment options may use multiple sub-advisors who are responsible for the day-to-day management responsibilities. 46

47 24. For Mutual Fund Network investment options, returns for all time periods, except the Since Inception time frame, may include the historical performance of the oldest share class of the fund, adjusted to reflect a portion of the fees and expenses of this share class. Since Inception returns display the actual return of this share class and do not reflect the adjusted returns of the oldest share class. Please see the fund's prospectus for more information on specific expenses, and the fund's most recent shareholder report for actual date of first sale. Expenses are deducted from income earned by the fund. As a result, dividends and investment results will differ for each share class. 26. This Principal Trust Target Date Fund indirectly bears its pro rata share of the Total Investment Expense incurred by the underlying investment options in which this fund invests. Based on the asset allocation of the Principal Trust Target Date Funds as of March 31, 2012, the weighted average operating expenses of the underlying investment options are: Principal Trust Income, 0.26%; Principal Trust Target 2010, 0.29%; Principal Trust Target 2015, 0.30%; Principal Trust Target2020, 0.30%; Principal Trust Target 2025, 0.31%; Principal Trust Target 2030, 0.32%; Principal Trust Target 2035, 0.32%; Principal Trust Target 2040, 0.33%; Principal Trust Target 2045, 0.34%; Principal Trust Target 2050, 0.34%; Principal Trust Target 2055, 0.35%. This fund may invest in underlying mutual funds. For more information on the underlying funds and their expenses, see the prospectus for those funds. 27. The risks associated with derivative investments include that the underlying security, interest rate, market index, or other financial asset will not move in the direction the Investment Adviser and/or Sub-Advisor anticipated, the possibility that there may be no liquid secondary market, the risk that adverse price movements in an instrument can result in a loss substantially greater than a fund's initial investment, the possibility that the counterparty may fail to perform its obligations; and the inability to close out certain hedged positions to avoid adverse tax consequences.
