10 Plan Meter Sponsor Solutions Plan Meter * assesses the retirement readiness of plan participants and quantifies the impact of proposed changes: 1) Provides the meaningful metric of replacement income to gauge effectiveness of an employer s retirement plan(s). 2) Identifies actionable solutions to improve participant retirement readiness and quantifies the impact of the solutions. 3) Allows for modeling of various scenarios for plan design change implementation and projects impact. *Plan Meter is offered in conjunction with T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc., a registered investment advisor. 7

11 Monte Carlo Simulation Material assumptions: The investment results shown in the various Plan Meter charts were developed with Monte Carlo modeling using the following material assumptions, as well as those outlined in the Plan Meter report Appendix. The underlying long-term expected annual return assumptions for the asset classes indicated in the charts are not historical returns. Rather, they are based on our best estimates for future long-term periods. Our annual return assumptions take into consideration the impact of reinvested dividends and capital gains. We use these expected returns along with assumptions regarding the volatility for each asset class and the intra-asset class correlations to generate a set of simulated, random monthly ret urns for each asset class over the specified period of time. These monthly returns are then used to generate 1,000 simulated market scenarios. These scenarios represent a spectrum of possible performance for the asset classes being modeled. The success rates are calculated based on these scenarios. We take taxes and required minimum distributions (RMDs) into consideration, as described in the Appendix, but we assume no early withdrawal penalties. Investment expenses in the form of an expense ratio are subtracted from the expected annual return of each asset class. These expenses are intended to represent the average expenses for a typical actively managed, no-load fund within the peer group for each asset class modeled. The analysis includes all of a participant s assets in the defined contribution plan(s) but categorizes them simply as individual stocks, diversified stock funds, bonds, and short-term investments. Other asset classes not considered or modeled may have characteristics similar or superior to those being analyzed. IMPORTANT: The Plan Meter projections or other information generated by a T. Rowe Price investment analysis tool regarding the likelihood of various investment outcomes are hypothetical in nature, do not reflect actual investment results, and are not guarantees of future results. The simulations are based on a number of assumptions. There can be no assurance that the projected or simulated results will be achieved or sustained. The charts present only a range of possible outcomes. Results may vary with each use and over time, and such results may be better or worse than the simulated scenarios. Clients should be aware that the potential for loss (or gain) may be greater than demonstrated in the simulations. The replacement income (in current dollars) is the percentage of the participant s current annual salary withdrawn in the first year of retirement; in each subsequent year, the amounts withdrawn are adjusted to reflect a particular annual rate of inflation. The underlying long-term expected annual return assumptions (gross of fees) used in each of the Monte Carlo simulations are 10% for large-cap individual stocks; 11% for mid-/small-cap individual stocks; 10% for stock funds; 6.5% for intermediate term, investment-grade bonds; and 4.75% for money market/stable value investments. The following expense ratios are then applied to arrive at net-of-fee expected returns: 0% for individual stocks; 1.211% for stock funds; 0.726% for intermediate-term, investment-grade bonds; and 0.648% for money market/stable value investments. The simulation success rate of each participant s retirement planning strategy is identified for a sponsor s plans in the Rules and Assumptions section of the Plan Meter report. Simulation success is defined as having at least one dollar remaining in the portfolio at the end of retirement. (The retirement period in the simulations is assumed to end at age 95.) The simulation success rate of a particular retirement strategy is determined by counting the number of simulation scenarios that result in at least one dollar remaining and dividing this figure by the total number of simulation scenarios of that strategy used. Limitations of the model Material limitations of the investment model include: Extreme market movements may occur more frequently than represented in our model. Some asset classes have relatively limited histories. While future results for all asset classes in the model may materially differ from those assumed in our calculations, the future results for asset classes with limited histories may diverge to a greater extent than the future results of asset classes with longer track records. Market crises can cause asset classes to perform similarly over time, reducing the accuracy of the projected portfolio volatility and returns. The model is based on the long-term behavior of the asset classes and, therefore, is less reliable for short-term periods. The model assumes that there is no correlation between asset class returns from month to month. This means that the model does not reflect the average periods of bull and bear markets, which can be longer than those modeled. Inflation is assumed. 8
