CLEARED FOR LANDING: WELCOME TO EMPOWER With the arrival of BlueRetirement, recordkept through Empower, it s important to learn your next steps. Your CHECKLIST for getting started: Log on to blueretirement.com to register your Empower account Review, update, or add your beneficiary Set your communication preferences Confirm your T. Rowe Price account transferred correctly to Empower Explore the key tools and resources on the new website Get assistance via 1-844-728-3258 or online chat at blueretirement.com

BOOK YOUR RETIREMENT The first time you visit blueretirement.com, you need to create a username and a password to access your account, check your current balance, and use all the new features. How to register your Empower account: Click the REGISTER button. Select the I do not have a PIN tab. Enter your Social Security number, ZIP/postal code, last name, date of birth, numeric portion of your permanent street address (without dashes or special characters as this will prevent registration) or P.O. Box and then click Continue. Any combination of the number groupings, in order, in your street address will work. For example, if you live at 1234-56 78th Street, you can enter any of the following: 1234; 56; 78; 123456; or 12345678. This information is being requested in order to authenticate your identity. It will only be required upon the initial registration of your account. If you receive an error during login, you may be inputting an incorrect address. Log on to BlueCrew Self Service (BCSS) to review your permanent address, which may differ from your mailing address. Then, try registering your account again using your permanent address as it is listed. If you need to update your permanent address in BCSS, please allow 7-10 business days for this information to transfer to Empower. Please be advised that after three unsuccessful attempts to register, you will be locked out for 24 hours. If this happens, you don t need to wait the full 24 hours. You can call an Empower associate to receive a temporary PIN which will help you complete registration. If you have any issues registering your account, please contact Empower at 1-844-728-3258 (8AM 10PM, Monday Friday). You will be asked to provide an email address or telephone number for future verification. You will also need to create a username and password. Click Register. While the email address allows hyphens, dashes, and special characters, the phone number field allows only numbers; you cannot enter alpha or special characters in the phone number field. On your future logins, choose SIGN IN. You may be requested to receive a verification code for enhanced security. Codes may be emailed or texted to the contact information that you provided at registration. While it is helpful to save your device for future logins, it is not recommended to do this when you are working on a public device. If you currently maintain an existing retirement account from a previous employer through Empower, you have a different registration process. 1. Contact Empower at 1-844-728-3258. When prompted, enter your Social Security number, then hit 0 to be transferred to an associate. They will assign a temporary PIN that will allow you to complete the registration process and access your account. 2. Log on to blueretirement.com: a. Click the REGISTER button. b. Click on the I have a PIN tab. c. Enter your Social Security number and temporary PIN. d. Complete registration by creating a username and password. Click Register. 2

PACKED AND READY TO GO? Great! You re almost set. Now it s just important to zip up a few loose ends with Empower. Verify Your Beneficiary Now is a good time to confirm your beneficiary designation. Remember to review your beneficiaries following a major life event such as a marriage, arrival of a new baby, or a divorce. To check who you have on file: Log on to blueretirement.com Choose your Plan name Select Beneficiaries Set your communication delivery preference receive your account statements and annual Participant Fee Disclosure notices electronically or by mail. Once you re logged on to blueretirement.com, click your name at the top right corner of the screen to manage your Personal Profile & Info section. CONFIRM YOUR T. ROWE PRICE ACCOUNT TRANSFERRED CORRECTLY TO EMPOWER If you would like to verify your account transfer from T. Rowe Price, you can view your account history for approximately six months after at rps.troweprice.com/jetblue. You will also receive a final account statement electronically or by mail (as per your delivery preference) from T. Rowe Price soon. To view the amounts that were transferred to Empower, log in to blueretirement.com, click the My Accounts link, and select Transaction History. Here you will see the amount that posted to your account beginning August 18. Now you can compare the T. Rowe Price history with your current Empower transfer balance to reconcile the account. As part of the move to Empower, the investments in your BlueRetirement account transferred to the fund lineup as shown in the Your Boarding Pass to the Future mailing you received in July. You can also find a copy of the fund lineup on lifeisbetterinblue.com/blueretirement. If you did nothing, your investments will have changed from the Current Investment to the New Investment as outlined in the Account Transfer chart. To validate the correct transfer of your investments, please follow these steps: If your funds were mapped to a new investment, they were sold and reinvested (i.e., T. Rowe Price Retirement 2035 Active Trust to Vanguard Target Retirement Trust 2035), you will want to look at the market value of each fund at T. Rowe Price as of August 18 and compare to the market value as of August 21 at Empower to confirm they match. If your funds were mapped to the same investment (i.e., Vanguard Institutional Index Fund to Vanguard Institutional Index Fund), you will want to look at the market value of each fund as of August 18 to confirm they match. Did You Know? Over 61% of Crewmembers do not currently have a beneficiary on file. Follow the instructions to the left to verify and update your beneficiary. If your funds were mapped to a different share class of the same fund (i.e., Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Admiral to Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Institutional), you will want to look at the market value of each fund as of August 18 to confirm they match. You will not necessarily be able to compare your total account-ending balance at T. Rowe Price on August 18 to your total account-beginning balance at Empower on August 21 as market value may have varied due to market activity on August 21; however, if you follow the above steps for each of your investments, you will be able to confirm the accurate transfer of your investments. Should you have any questions while reviewing the amounts transferred, please contact an Empower associate via 1-844-728-3258 or online chat through blueretirement.com weekdays from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Eastern Time for assistance. For Crewmembers who maintain Self-Directed Brokerage Account (SDBA) holdings: You will need to complete your enrollment by visiting schwab.com/pcraopen. If you do not register, your account may be restricted from trading. Please contact Charles Schwab at 1-888-393-7272 (PCRA) with any questions. Any contributions to your SDBA for the payroll periods between August 11 and through the end of the blackout period (the week of August 27) were directed to the U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund within your retirement. Contact Schwab in order to redirect those monies. 3

Don t Forget: Your 5% Retirement Plus contribution (available to Crewmembers below Manager level) will be made per pay period not just quarterly. This helps you invest your money sooner. Self-Directed Brokerage Account Offered through Charles Schwab Personal Choice Retirement Account For more investment options beyond what s currently available in the core fund lineup, you can supplement your investment portfolio with a self-directed brokerage account (SDBA). Consider opening an SDBA if you: Like to perform your own investment research. Understand risks associated with certain investments. Please keep in mind that: There is a commission fee of $3.95 per trade. Additional transaction fees may apply. You must maintain a $100 minimum balance in the core account. Securities no longer available in SDBAs. In order to prevent the Plan from potentially being subject to unrelated business taxable income (UBTI), investments in securities that generate UBTI will no longer be available for purchase once accounts transfer to Schwab. These types of securities include master limited partnerships (MLPs), commodity exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and other securities that meet IRS requirements for partnership taxation. If you have any questions, contact Schwab at 1-888-383-PCRA (7272) or visit schwab.com. Questions?
