3 A new chapter is about to start Helping you plan and save for the future is important to us here at the University of Dayton. That s why we re pleased to announce the following updates to the University of Dayton Retirement Plans. What you need to know TIAA will become the single service provider for the retirement plan(s). TIAA was selected by the University of Dayton in order to deliver comprehensive retirement services at a reasonable cost. As a result of this change, your balance currently with Fidelity will be transferred to TIAA. New investment options. The new investments, carefully selected by the Retirement Plans Committee with input, support and guidance from outside investment consultants, help give you the ability to create a diversified retirement portfolio. New Retirement Choice and Retirement Choice Plus contracts will be issued. Any balance in existing TIAA and CREF annuity contracts will remain in those existing contracts, although no new contributions, rollovers or transfers may be made to them. Lower fees. The University of Dayton has negotiated lower fees and selected investment options with a lower overall cost. New loans will be introduced. Retirement plan loans are funded from an account in your employer-sponsored retirement plan and offered with a fixed rate of interest. This new loan offering will be replacing current collateralized loans offered. Retirement Plan Portfolio Manager (RPPM). A service designed to monitor your retirement account so you don t have to do all the work. Known as a managed account, this service gives you professional oversight and a systematic, disciplined approach to managing your money. You can receive personalized advice on the plan s investment options from a TIAA financial consultant. This service is available as part of your retirement plan at no additional cost to you. Investment advice is available online, by phone or through a one-on-one advice session. New TIAA Brokerage option. If you would like to have access to more investment choices, the University of Dayton is adding a Brokerage option to the retirement plans. Please note: The University of Dayton will not monitor the performance of the funds in your personal brokerage account, and TIAA does not offer investment advice for brokerage balances. Blackout Period for Fidelity balances. To facilitate a smooth transfer of current investment balances to TIAA, a brief Blackout Period will take place. During this time, you will not be able to change your investment choices, affect loans, make withdrawals or transfer funds. The Blackout Period applies to balances currently invested at Fidelity. Please review the enclosed Blackout Notice for additional details. Any scheduled payroll contributions will continue to be deducted from your paycheck and invested during the Blackout Period. No longer employed by the University of Dayton? You are receiving this guide because you have investments in one or more of the University of Dayton Retirement Plans.

It is not guaranteed to protect against loss. * TIAA Traditional Annuity is a guaranteed insurance contract and not an investment for federal securities law purposes. Any guarantees under annuities issued by Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (TIAA) are subject to TIAA s claims-paying ability. Interest credited includes a guaranteed rate, plus additional amounts as may be established by the TIAA Board of Trustees. Such additional amounts, when declared, remain in effect for the declaration year which begins each March 1 for accumulating annuities and January 1 for payout annuities. Additional amounts are not guaranteed for periods other than the period for which they were declared. Investment products may be subject to market and other risk factors. See the applicable product literature, or visit TIAA.org/udayton for details. Annuity account options are available through annuity contracts issued by TIAA or CREF. These contracts are designed for retirement or other long-term goals, and offer a variety of income options, including lifetime income. Payments from the variable annuity accounts are not guaranteed and will rise or fall based on investment performance. 2 Questions? Call or visit TIAA.org/udayton

6 If you currently are a TIAA participant Enrollment with new contracts You will be enrolled in new Retirement Choice (RC) and Retirement Choice Plus (RCP) contracts on March 30, 2018, and sent an enrollment confirmation. Your current beneficiary designation(s) will be applied to your new contract(s). How your future contributions and current account balances will be affected Beginning April 6, 2018, your future contributions will be directed to your new account and the new investment options. The week of April 16, 2018, your current mutual fund balance(s) are scheduled to be transferred to your new Retirement Choice and/or Retirement Choice Plus contracts. Your contributions and balance(s) will be invested as shown on the next page. Any annuity balance(s) you have with TIAA will remain in your existing contract(s), although no new contributions, rollovers or transfers may be made to these contracts. You will only be permitted to transfer balances among CREF Money Market Account, CREF Stock Account and TIAA Traditional Annuity. If you would like to transfer balances to your new contracts, contact a TIAA financial consultant for more information. Understanding your new account(s) There are a number of differences between your Retirement Annuity, Supplemental Retirement Annuity, Group Retirement Annuity, Group Supplemental Retirement Annuity contracts and the new Retirement Choice and Retirement Choice Plus contracts. Most of the differences apply to the TIAA Traditional Annuity and are highlighted below. If you re thinking about transferring some or all of your account balances to your new contract, make sure you understand the differences before you initiate a transfer. Under the Retirement Choice and Retirement Choice Plus contracts, TIAA Traditional has a rate guarantee that is between 1% and 3%, determined annually, which may be lower than the guaranteed rate in your current contract.* The adjustable rate guarantee in the new contracts allow TIAA to be more responsive to the prevailing interest rate environment, and provides the potential for higher credited rates through the crediting of additional amounts.** When TIAA Traditional balances are transferred out of an existing contract, you risk giving up a favorable crediting rate(s) on older contributions. TIAA Traditional balances in the Retirement Choice contract can be liquidated within a shorter time frame than under the existing Retirement Annuity and Group Retirement Annuity contracts. Moving money from an existing contract to a new contract is a permanent decision. Money cannot be moved back into legacy contracts. For details, see the Contract Comparison chart located at TIAA.org/udayton. If you have questions, call Changes to the retirement plans investment lineup The University of Dayton is taking this opportunity to change the investment options available through the plans. The new investments, carefully selected the Retirement Plans Committee with input, support and guidance from outside investment consultants, help give you the ability to create a diversified retirement portfolio that matches your investment goals and preferences. See the next page for more details about these changes. The University of Dayton will remove several investment options from the lineup and replace them with new options. The University of Dayton will also restrict several investment options and they will no longer accept new money. Future contributions will be directed to replacement options. See the following page for more details about these changes. Choosing different investments You may transfer account balances and/or change the way future contributions are directed once your new contracts are issued on March 30, * Guarantees are subject to Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America's claims-paying ability. ** TIAA s Board of Trustees declares whether additional amounts will be paid in March of each year. Additional amounts are not guaranteed. Such additional amounts, when declared, remain in effect for the declaration year which begins each March 1 for accumulating annuities and January 1 for payout annuities. Additional amounts are not guaranteed for periods other than the period for which they were declared. 4 Questions? Call or visit TIAA.org/udayton continued

9 If you currently are a Fidelity participant Enrollment You will be enrolled in new TIAA contracts on March 30, 2018, and sent an enrollment confirmation kit with important information on making the most of your participation with TIAA. Your beneficiary designation will be set to "Estate". How your future contributions and current account balances will be affected On or about April 24, 2018, your current account balance(s) with Fidelity are scheduled to be transferred to your new TIAA accounts. Your contributions and balance(s) will be transferred as shown on the next page. Changes to the retirement plans investment lineup The University of Dayton is taking this opportunity to change the investment options available through the plans. The new investments, carefully selected by the Retirement Plans Committee with input, support and guidance from outside investment consultants, help give you the ability to create a diversified retirement portfolio that matches your investment goals and preferences. See the next page for more details about these changes. Because of the investment consolidation from Fidelity to TIAA, the Plans' default investment option will be the TIAA-CREF Lifecycle Fund series. Each lifecycle fund provides a diversified retirement portfolio in a single fund. Blackout Period To help ensure the smooth transfer of account balance(s) from Fidelity, there will be a brief Blackout Period. During this time, you will not be able to perform transactions (e.g., change investments, make withdrawals, take a loan, transfer funds, etc.). The Blackout Period is expected to begin at Fidelity on or around April 16, 2018, at 4 p.m. (ET). Please note: The date of the plan changes and the end of the Blackout Period depend on the accurate, timely transfer of data from Fidelity to TIAA. If this does not occur, the end of the Blackout Period could be delayed. Payroll contributions to the University of Dayton Retirement Plans will continue to be withheld and invested during the Blackout Period. See the enclosed Blackout Notice for more details. Choosing different investments You can change the way future contributions are directed once your new accounts are issued on March 30, How your account balance(s) will transfer Your account balance(s) will move from Fidelity to the TIAA platform following a fund-to-fund transfer process. This process directs balances and contributions to a replacement fund on the new TIAA menu as shown in the transfer chart on the next page. Account balance(s) from Fidelity will be applied to the new investment option(s) as of 4 p.m. (ET) on the date the balance(s) are received in accurate and complete order. Your account will not be invested in the new funds for at least one business day. You ll receive two confirmations: One from Fidelity showing the transfer out of your account and a second from TIAA showing the balance(s) applied to your new TIAA accounts. Please note: Any balance(s) directed to a Vanguard Target Retirement Fund will be transferred first to the Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund (VMFXX). Once the information is received from Fidelity, TIAA will then transfer the balance(s) from the Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund to the age-appropriate TIAA-CREF Lifecycle Fund. Because of this, you ll receive three confirmations: one from Fidelity showing the transfer out of your account, one from TIAA for the transfer to the Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund, and another one from TIAA for the transfer to the ageappropriate TIAA-CREF Lifecycle Fund.

13 Choose your investment path Option 1: Selecting a lifecycle fund A diversified retirement portfolio in a single fund of funds How do lifecycle funds work? Each lifecycle fund is a fund of funds, primarily invested in shares of other mutual funds.* The fund s investments are adjusted from more aggressive to more conservative over time as the target date approaches. What are some other considerations? As with all mutual funds, the principal value of a lifecycle fund isn t guaranteed at any time and will fluctuate with the market. The target date indicates when investors may plan to start making withdrawals. However, you are not required to withdraw funds at the target date. After the target date, your money may be merged into a fund with a more stable asset allocation. A TIAA financial consultant can help you decide whether a lifecycle fund is right for you. Option 2: Building your own portfolio A retirement portfolio of your own design What types of investments are included? The new investment menu offers you a wide range of investment options. These options cover the major asset classes, including equities, fixed income, guaranteed, money market, multi-asset, and real estate, and give you the flexibility to create a diversified retirement portfolio. What are some other considerations when choosing my own investments? Consider your risk tolerance when selecting investments. If you prefer to work with a financial professional, you may wish to have a TIAA financial consultant suggest a portfolio based on the options available in your retirement plan. This retirement plan investment advice is available at no extra cost. Please keep in mind that there are risks associated with investing in securities, including possible loss of principal. Your retirement plan is designed to work for both investment paths. * Lifecycle funds share the risks associated with the types of securities held by each of the underlying funds in which they invest. In addition to the fees and expenses associated with the lifecycle funds, there is exposure to the fees and expenses associated with the underlying mutual funds. Questions?

It s important to understand that the University of Dayton will not monitor the performance of the funds offered through the brokerage account, and TIAA does not offer investment advice for brokerage assets.

16 Understanding retirement plan fees When making decisions about your University of Dayton Retirement Plans account, it s important to know there are fees associated with many of the plans services and investments. Some fees may be paid by your employer; others may be paid by you, based on the services and investments you choose. Please know that there have always been costs to participate in the program. A recent change impacts how your plan administration costs will be assessed. Plan Servicing Fee* Your account is assessed an annual Plan Servicing Fee to cover items such as recordkeeping, legal, accounting, investment advisory and other plan and participant services. Effective April 6, 2018, the annual fee is $70, which will be divided into quarterly payments, and may be deducted from your account accordingly. However, the Plan Services Fee may also be paid through offsets and/or payments associated with one or more of the Plans Investment options. If any Plan Servicing Fee is deducted directly from your account, it will be reflected on your plan account statement as TIAA Plan Servicing Fee. Brokerage fee Brokerage Services customers are charged a commission on all transactions and other account-related fees in accordance with the TIAA Commission and Fee Schedule. Please visit TIAA.org/SDA_CAA for a complete list of commissions and fees. Other fees and expenses apply to a continued investment in the funds and are described in the fund s current prospectus. Loan issuance fee This one-time fee is deducted directly from your account at the time a loan is issued. A loan issuance fee would apply if you choose a general purpose Retirement Plan Loan (RPL) and/or primary residence RPL within the University of Dayton Retirement Plans. The costs of these loans are $75 per loan for a general purpose loan and $125 per loan for a residential loan. All things considered Fees are important, but they are just one factor in your decision-making process. In addition to fees and expenses, you should be sure your investment choices reflect your personal risk tolerance, the time frame until your retirement, and the appropriate balance allocation to suit your investment needs. Investment-specific services Each of the plans investment options has a fee for investment management and associated services. Plan participants generally pay for these costs through what is called an expense ratio. Expense ratios are displayed as a percentage of assets. For example, an expense ratio of 0.50% means a plan participant would pay $5 annually for every $1,000 in assets. Taking the expense ratio into consideration helps you to compare investment fees so you can make informed investment decisions. You can find the expense ratios, as well as investment-specific purchase, withdrawal and redemption fees and expenses at TIAA.org/udayton or in the prospectus at TIAA.org/ performance. * Please note: Plan servicing fees can be deducted from Retirement Choice and Retirement Choice Plus contracts. However, plan servicing fees cannot be deducted from Retirement Annuity, Group Retirement Annuity, Supplemental Retirement Annuity and Group Supplemental Retirement Annuity contracts. 14 Questions?

17 Q&A 1. Why is the University of Dayton updating the retirement plans? The University of Dayton is committed to providing you with competitive retirement benefits and recently conducted a review of the retirement plan. The resulting changes are intended to give you the investments, services and tools you need to pursue your retirement savings goals within one comprehensive platform. 2. How can I learn about the new investment options? A list of the new investment options is included in this guide. You can visit the dedicated retirement plan website at TIAA.org/udayton for additional information. 3. What if I would like help making investment choices? You can get personalized advice on the plan s investment options from a TIAA financial consultant. This service is available as part of your retirement program at no additional cost to you. To schedule an advice session, call TIAA at , weekdays, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. (ET). You can also schedule online at TIAA.org/schedulenow. 4. What should I expect from an advice session? You can expect a thorough review of your account and an action plan for moving forward. Advice sessions last approximately forty-five minutes. Bring all your investment account statements, including any retirement investments outside of the retirement plan and your most recent Social Security statement, if available. A TIAA financial consultant will use this information to understand your current financial situation and develop an action plan. You may bring anyone you like to your session with you. 5. What happens to my systematic withdrawal, TPA (transfer payout annuity), or required minimum distribution? You will receive separate communications if any actions are required on your part. 6. What are retirement plan loans? Retirement plan loans are funded from an account in your employer-sponsored retirement plan and offered with a fixed rate of interest. Principal and interest are paid back to your retirement account based on the investment allocation for your contributions; if there is not an allocation on file, the repayment is paid to a default investment option selected by the plan for loan repayments. Retirement plan loans are available in two types a conventional loan or a primary residence loan. The standard TIAA offering will be replacing current collateralized loans. Loans are available only from your contributions to the plan. 7. How do lifecycle funds work? Each lifecycle fund consists of underlying mutual funds that invest in a broad range of asset classes. The allocations and risk level depend on how many years remain until the fund s target date. To help reduce risk as the fund s target date approaches, the fund s mix of stocks, bonds and other types of investments is adjusted to a more conservative mix. Questions? Call or visit TIAA.org/udayton 15

18 Q&A 8. What else should I know about lifecycle funds? As with all mutual funds, the principal value of a lifecycle fund isn t guaranteed at any time and will fluctuate with market changes. The target date indicates when investors may plan to start making withdrawals. However, you are not required to withdraw your money at the target date. After the target date, some of your money may be merged into a fund with a more stable asset allocation. 1 A TIAA financial consultant can help you decide whether a lifecycle fund is right for you. 9. Does it make sense to consolidate my retirement accounts? Many people find it easier to manage their retirement money by working with only one provider. That said, transferring balances can sometimes trigger costs. Before consolidating outside retirement balances, check with your employee benefits office to see if you can transfer those balances directly to your TIAA retirement account. You should carefully consider all your options. For instance, you may be able to leave money with a prior provider, roll over money to an IRA, or cash out all or part of the account value. Weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each option carefully, including investment options and services, fees and expenses, withdrawal options, required minimum distributions, tax treatment and your particular financial needs. You should seek the guidance of your financial professional and tax advisor before consolidating balances. 10. Can I move money from an existing TIAA account to a new one? Yes, but it s a move you ll want to weigh carefully. You may move money out of your existing TIAA contracts to the new contracts, subject to any restrictions that apply to the investments. However, any money that you move out of your existing contract(s) cannot be moved back into them. Money in the TIAA Traditional Annuity deserves special attention. For instance, money moved out of TIAA Traditional in the existing contracts will no longer receive the 3% minimum guaranteed rate. In short, the pros and cons are different for every participant. To learn more about TIAA Traditional, liquidity rules, and the differences between RC and RCP contracts, please see the Contract Comparison chart at TIAA.org/comparison or contact TIAA at What if I am splitting my contributions among Fidelity and TIAA? Effective April 6, 2018, future contributions will be directed to TIAA and invested according to the transfer chart for those balances, if applicable. You may change your allocation during the open election window starting March 30, What are annuities? There are different types of annuities, but they are typically designed to give you the opportunity to grow your money while you re working and provide you with the option to receive income for life when you retire. In fact, annuities are the only retirement products that can guarantee to pay you (or you and a spouse or partner) income for life. There are two types of annuities: Guaranteed annuities (also known as fixed annuities): Earn a minimum guaranteed interest rate on your contributions, plus the potential for additional amounts of interest. In retirement, guaranteed annuities can offer you income for life that will never fall below a certain guaranteed level and provide income that is guaranteed to last for your lifetime. 2 Variable annuities: Invest in a variety of asset classes and account values will fluctuate based on the performance of the investments in the accounts. It is possible to lose money in variable annuities. In retirement, variable annuities can provide an income stream that is guaranteed to last for your lifetime, but the actual amount will rise or fall based on investment performance. For more information on annuities in employer-sponsored retirement plans see: TIAA.org/public/offer/products/ annuities/retirement-plan-annuities. 1 Lifecycle funds share the risks associated with the types of securities held by each of the underlying funds in which they invest. In addition to the fees and expenses associated with the lifestyle funds, there is exposure to the fees and expenses associated with the underlying mutual funds. 2 Guarantees are based on the claims-paying ability of the issuing company. 16 Questions?
