Balances in the Lifestyle funds will be transferred to a Target Retirement Fund selected for you based upon your birth date in the chart below, as determined by your Plan Sponsor. Each fund is designed to provide different degrees of long-term appreciation and income through a mix of stock, bond and capital preservation investments based on the target retirement date. The investments and associated risk level change over time with the objective of becoming more conservative as time goes by. The models range from more aggressive, for a participant with a longer investment horizon, to more conservative, for those near and in retirement. The more aggressive models will likely have a greater chance of having a short term loss versus the more conservative models. There is no guarantee a fund will accomplish its objective and the investments can lose money.

Adjusted historical returns are provided for some funds if the share class in the Plan has been available for less than 10 years and there is another, older share class for the same fund. This means that any share class that doesn't have a 1, 5-, or 10-year performance history may report hypothetical returns based on the oldest surviving share class of the fund and it may be based, in part, on the performance of a predecessor or parent fund. Extended performance is an estimate based on the performance of the fund's oldest share class, adjusted for fees but net of any fee or expense limitations or waivers. If the share class shown had been available during any period prior to its inception, performance shown may have been different.

UNDERSTANDING BENCHMARKS A benchmark is a tool used to compare performance. To help you evaluate the performance of your Plan s investment options, we ve included one or more indices for you to use as benchmarks. An index measures the performance of a group of securities chosen to reflect a certain segment of the finanical market. Many indices have been created to track many different segments of the market. Indices cannot be purchased directly. They are simply measures of market performance. Well-known market indices include the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite.

Schwab Retirement Planner is available via the Plan website or with a Schwab Advice Consultant. You can access Schwab Retirement Planner any time. If a life event occurs this may be a good time to re-evaluate your financial situation by accessing Schwab Retirement Planner. There are direct costs to you for Schwab Retirement Planner. SRPS charges an asset based fee for this service. After the effective date of the change in DIM, SRPS will pay Morningstar Associates, LLC for its provision of investment management services. Risk Reduction To help achieve long-term retirement security, you should give careful consideration to the benefits of a well-balanced and diversified investment portfolio. Spreading your assets among different types of investments may help you achieve a favorable rate of return, while minimizing your overall risk of losing money. This is because market or other economic conditions that cause one category of assets, or one particular security, to perform very well may cause another asset category, or another particular security, to perform poorly. If you invest more than 20% of your retirement savings in any one company or industry, your savings may not be properly diversified. Although diversification is not a guarantee against loss, it is an effective strategy to help you manage investment risk. Diversification strategies do not assure a profit and do not protect against losses in declining markets. In deciding how to invest your retirement savings, you should take into account all of your assets, including any retirement savings outside of the Plan. No single approach is right for everyone because, among other factors, individuals have different financial goals, different time horizons for meeting their goals, and different tolerances for risk. It is also important to periodically review your investment portfolio, your investment objectives, and the investment options under the Plan to help ensure that your retirement savings will meet your retirement goals. Compare your prior investment options The below information is being provided to help you understand some of the differences between your new investment options and the funds being removed from the Plan. The chart below shows each prior option s past performance at selected intervals and lists any fees, expenses, and restrictions specific to that product. These funds will no longer be available effective 12/01/2016. 8
