How you can benefit Company match ABM will match a portion of your contributions to the Plan. It s like being paid to participate! Tax advantages Your contributions are deducted from your paycheck on a pre-tax basis, which means you may reduce your current taxable income.* Diverse investment menu You can choose from a variety of investment options to create a portfolio appropriate for your retirement goals.

Plan highlights Eligibility You are able to enroll in the ABM 401(k) Employee Savings Plan if you: Have completed six months of full-time employment; Are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement; and Are not eligible to participate in the ABM 401(k) Employee Savings Plan II. Your participation can begin on the first of the month following six months of service, or the first of any subsequent month as soon as administratively practicable. Enrollment You may enroll in the Plan on Benefits OnLine at www.benefits.ml.com or by calling the Retirement & Benefits Contact Center at 888.221.9867. As part of the enrollment process, you will need to complete a beneficiary form on Benefits OnLine. Contributions You may contribute up to 50% of your eligible compensation (as described in the Plan) from your paycheck on a pre-tax basis, up to the IRS maximum pre-tax contribution limit. That limit is $18,000 in 2017. You can change your contribution rate at any time on Benefits OnLine or by calling the Retirement & Benefits Contact Center. Company matching contributions ABM will match 100% of the first 3% and 50% of the next 2% of your eligible compensation that you contribute. To receive the maximum company match of 4%, you would need to contribute 5% of your eligible compensation. You do not need to be employed at year-end to receive this match. Catch-up contributions If you are age 50 or older during the calendar year and make the Plan or IRS maximum allowable pre-tax contribution to the Plan, you may be eligible to make an additional catch-up contribution. The maximum catch-up contribution is $6,000 in 2017. The catch-up contribution rate election is separate from the pre-tax contribution rate election. Saver s tax credit If you make contributions to the Plan, you may be eligible to receive a tax credit of up to 50% on the first $2,000 you contribute. This saver s tax credit can directly reduce the amount of federal income tax you pay each year. The amount of the credit depends on several factors, including the amount you contribute to the Plan, your adjusted gross income for the year, and your tax filing status. However, if you qualify, this credit is allowed in addition to the other tax benefits you may receive by contributing to the Plan. For more information or to see if you qualify for this tax-saving feature, consult a tax advisor. Rollovers Rollovers from another tax-qualified retirement plan, of pre-tax contributions from a 403(b) tax-deferred arrangement, or of pre-tax contributions from a government 457 plan may be accepted by the Plan. But after-tax contributions are not eligible to be rolled over into the Plan. Be sure to consider the advantages and disadvantages of a rollover before initiating one. Vesting Your right to your account balance is called vesting. You are always 100% vested in your pre-tax contributions, any amounts you roll over to the Plan and the ABM matching contributions, adjusted for any earnings or losses. Investment direction When you enroll, you can give investment directions for your Plan account in one of two ways: 1. You decide. Select from the individual investment choices provided under the Plan, in any allocation you choose. 2. Get guidance. Use the Advice Access service and receive specific, personalized investment recommendations to help you pursue your retirement income goals. There is no additional charge for this service. If you do not make an investment election, your contributions will automatically be invested in the age-appropriate Manning & Napier Target Date Collective Investment Trusts The chart on the next page lists the Manning & Napier Target Date Collective Investment Trusts as well as the other investment choices available to you. For more information on target date funds and how they can help you invest for retirement, see page 4. As a Plan participant, you may change the way your future contributions are invested as frequently as once each business day. In addition, you may transfer your account balance from one investment option to another once each business day (subject to certain restrictions). These transactions may be made by contacting Merrill Lynch. 2

A prospectus is not available and shares are not publicly traded or listed on exchanges. 3 The target date for this fund is the approximate date when an investor plans to start withdrawing his or her money. The principal value of this fund is not guaranteed at any time, including at the target date. This fund is designed to become more conservative over time as the target date approaches. 4 It is not possible to invest directly in an index. 3

About the Manning & Napier Target Date Collective Investment Trusts The Plan offers a series of target date funds from Manning & Napier that are designed to make age-based investing easy. Each target date fund includes a mix of investments that might be appropriate for investors planning to retire or begin withdrawing their money close to a specified target date. And each fund is adjusted along the way to become more conservative more in bonds and less in stocks as that target date approaches. If you think one of these target date funds is appropriate for you, you would generally pick the fund with the date in the title closest to the year you would expect to retire, or begin taking the money from your account. When considering a target date fund, it s important to understand that the principal value of these funds is not guaranteed at any time, including at the target date. Loans, withdrawals and distributions You will be permitted to borrow against your vested Plan account balance, subject to certain maximum/minimum limits. You may have only one loan outstanding at any time. A nonrefundable, one-time loan initiation fee (currently $55) will apply to each loan you take. Please consider the advantages and disadvantages before requesting a loan. While the Plan is intended to help you accumulate the assets you will need for your retirement, you can withdraw funds prior to your separation from service if you experience an extreme financial hardship, as defined by the Plan. Such a withdrawal would require you to stop making contributions to the Plan for at least six months following receipt of the hardship withdrawal. You may receive a distribution of your account balance following your separation from service due to retirement, termination of employment, total and permanent disability, or death (paid to your beneficiary). With certain exceptions, a distribution can be rolled over from the Plan to an IRA or another employer s plan that accepts rollovers, which can provide for continued deferral of taxes. You have choices for what to do with your 401(k) or other type of plan-sponsored accounts. Depending on your financial circumstances, needs and goals, you may choose to roll over to an IRA or convert to a Roth IRA, roll over a 401(k) from a prior employer to a 401(k) at your new employer, take a distribution, or leave the account where it is. Each choice may offer different investment options and services, fees and expenses, withdrawal options, required minimum distributions, tax treatment, and provide different protection from creditors and legal judgments. These are complex choices and should be considered with care. For more information about loans, withdrawals or distributions, visit Benefits OnLine, call the Retirement & Benefits Contact Center or review your Summary Plan Description. Taxation of withdrawals and distributions Taxes are due upon withdrawal or distribution. You may also be subject to a 10% additional federal tax if you take a withdrawal or distribution prior to age 59½. Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Investments in foreign securities or sector funds, including technology or real estate stocks, are subject to substantial volatility due to adverse political, economic or other developments and may carry additional risk resulting from lack of industry diversification. Funds that invest in small- or mid-capitalization companies experience a greater degree of market volatility than those of large-capitalization stocks and are riskier investments. Bond funds have the same interest rate, inflation, and credit risks associated with the underlying bonds owned by the fund. Generally, the value of bond funds rises when prevailing interest rates fall and falls when interest rates rise. Investing in lowergrade debt securities ( junk bonds) may be subject to greater market fluctuations and risk of loss of income and principal than securities in higher rated categories. There are ongoing fees and expenses associated with investing. Bear in mind that higher return potential is accompanied by higher risk. Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of investment options carefully before investing. This, and additional information about the investment options, can be found in the prospectuses and, if available, the summary prospectuses, which can be obtained on Benefits OnLine at www.benefits.ml.com or by calling Merrill Lynch at 888.221.9867. Investors should read the prospectuses and, if available, the summary prospectuses carefully before investing. For more information about the investment options that are not mutual funds (non-registered investments), refer to the fund description or fact sheet, if available. 4
