5 Plan enhancements ROTH CONTRIBUTIONS The 403(b) and 457(b) plans will offer a new way to save for retirement Roth contributions. Instead of having all of your contributions deducted from your paycheck before taxes, you may decide to make Roth contributions on an after-tax basis and have the ability to withdraw qualified money at retirement without paying federal taxes.* A Roth contribution is a new feature that allows you to save today s after-tax dollars for your future. Here are two key benefits of making Roth contributions: There are no income restrictions. You can make Roth contributions to the plan even if you ve been restricted from contributing to a Roth IRA. You may be able to withdraw your Roth contributions and any qualified investment gains federal tax free and penalty free when you reach age 59½ and have had a Roth account for at least five years.* *Qualified distributions are federal income tax free, provided that the Roth account has been open for at least five tax years, which begins January 1 of the first year you make a contribution to a Roth account, and the owner has reached age 59½, has died or has become disabled. Qualified Roth distributions may be subject to state and local taxes.

8 GOALMAKER GoalMaker is an easy-to-use, optional asset allocation program available at no additional cost. It takes the guesswork out of selecting and managing your investments by using two key pieces of information your investor style and your years to retirement to guide you to one of 12 model portfolios. GoalMaker also ensures your asset allocation stays in line with your chosen investment allocation through automatic rebalancing. Your GoalMaker portfolio then automatically adjusts to become more conservative over time. That s important because the closer you are to retirement, the more conservative you may want to be with your investments. Regardless of your investment choices, you should continue to monitor your investments at least annually to ensure they continue to meet your investment objectives. Keep in mind that asset allocation and diversification do not ensure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market. You can lose money by investing in securities. PRUDENTIAL DAY ONE FUNDS Prudential Day One Funds provide a professionally-crafted portfolio based on two key investment criteria: your age and when in retirement you plan to begin tapping into your money. You typically select the fund with the target date that most closely matches when you expect to retire and may begin withdrawing your money. If you re already retired or are about to retire, you might opt for the most conservative of the Day One Funds, the Day One Income Fund. While it s always wise to periodically review your investments to ensure that your strategy is in line with your goals, Day One Funds work to help you along the way by providing two types of automatic rebalancing: Daily, to keep portfolios balanced and on track, regardless of market volatility Annually, to shift fund allocations to a more conservative approach in accordance with the funds glide path as you move closer to retirement, and beyond Meetings Mark your calendar! Representatives from Prudential Retirement will be conducting education sessions, to answer your questions. They ll also provide information about the tools and resources available to you.

The Guaranteed Income Fund (GIF) is a group annuity product issued by Prudential Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company (PRIAC), Hartford, CT Amounts contributed to the contract are deposited in PRIAC s general account. Payment obligations and the fulfillment of any guarantees specified in the group annuity contract are insurance claims supported by the full faith and credit of PRIAC. PRIAC periodically resets the interest rate credited on contract balances, subject to a minimum rate specified in the group annuity contract. Past interest rates are not indicative of future rates. This product is neither a mutual fund nor a bank product. The obligations of PRIAC are not insured by the FDIC or any other federal governmental agency. Contract form # GA-2020-IA-0805 or state variation thereof. Prudential Retirement is compensated in connection with this product when general account investment returns exceed the interest credited on contract balances. Prudential Retirement may earn fee revenue in addition to the foregoing compensation if your plan has agreed to pay contract charges, which are sometimes paid in respect of plan and participant recordkeeping and distribution services. For some plans, Prudential Retirement uses a portion of its aggregate compensation to satisfy the plan s request for allowances and for payments to defray plan expenses. If Prudential Retirement s aggregate compensation from this product and from other plan investment products exceeds the costs of servicing your plan, Prudential Retirement earns a profit; otherwise we incur a loss. Frequent exchanging between plan investment options may harm long-term investors. Your plan or the plan s investment funds may have provisions to deter exchanges that may be abusive. These policies may require us to modify, restrict or suspend purchase or exchange privileges and/or impose redemption fees. The target date is the approximate date when investors plan to start withdrawing their money. The asset allocation of the target-date funds will become more conservative as the target date approaches by lessening your equity exposure and increasing your exposure in fixed income type investments. The principal value of an investment in a target-date fund is not guaranteed at any time, including the target date. A target-date fund should not be selected based solely on age or retirement date, is not a guaranteed investment and the stated asset allocation may be subject to change. As with all investments, there are a number of factors and risks to consider in selecting a target-date fund. In addition to anticipated retirement date, relevant factors for Fund selection may include age, risk tolerance, other investments owned, and planned withdrawals. In addition, participants should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of any Fund before investing. It is possible to lose money in a Fund including near or following retirement and there is no guarantee that the Funds will provide adequate retirement income. Investments in the Funds are not deposits of obligations of any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by any governmental agency or instrumentality. GoalMaker s model allocations are based on generally accepted financial theories that take into account the historic returns of different asset classes. But, of course, past performance of any investment does not guarantee future results. Participants should consider their other assets, income and investments (e.g. equity in a home, Social Security benefits, individual retirement plan investments, etc.) in addition to their interest in the plan, to the extent those items are not taken into account in the model. Participants should also periodically reassess their GoalMaker investments to make sure their model portfolio continues to correspond to their changing attitudes and retirement time horizon. Generally, for your distribution to become qualified for federal income tax purposes you have to wait at least five tax years after making your first Roth contribution before taking a withdrawal and your withdrawals must begin after: you have reached age 59½; you have died; or you have become disabled. If your withdrawal does not meet these qualifications, your accumulated Roth earnings but not your Roth contributions will be taxed and may be subject to a 10% early distribution penalty if you have not reached age 59½.State tax treatment may vary.
