Catch-up contributions can help make up for lost time Catch-up contributions can help reduce your retirement income shortage. Income Needs and Sources If you are over age 50 . . . You can contribute an additional 5,500 above the 2012 annual limit of 17,000. The limit is subject to annual cost of living adjustments. 8

It’s Wise to Start Now! This hypothetical illustration is based on an annual effective rate of return of 6% and does not reflect the performance of any specific investment option. It does not take into account the payment of taxes and does not intend to predict investment results. The illustration does not include fees or expenses that an investment product could assess. If included, these fees would reduce the figures shown above. Systematic investing does not ensure a profit or guarantee against loss. You should consider your ability to invest consistently in up as well as down markets. Not intended to serve as financial advice or as a primary basis for your investment decisions. Taxes are generally due upon withdrawal. 9

A tax-deferred plan can turn pre-tax contributions of 75 into 100. Out of every 100 . . . You could let the government take 25 in taxes* and save only 75 . . . Or you could put 100 into a tax-deferred plan. *Assumes a 25% Federal tax bracket. Taxes are due upon withdrawal of assets from the plan. 10

Your Contribution Limits For 2012, 457(b) contributions are limited by: – The lesser of 100% of includible compensation; or – 17,000 But there are other provisions which may help you contribute more to your existing plan . . . 11

Consider the Special 457(b) Catch-Up The 457(b) Special Catch-up Provision* permits increased annual contributions. The catch-up limit is the lesser of: Twice the annual contribution limit (for 2012, that would be 34,000); or The annual contribution limit for the year, plus underutilized amounts from prior taxable years (only those years beginning on or after 1/1/1979 in which you were eligible to participate in your employer’s 457(b) plan can be used). * A calculation is required to ascertain eligibility. 12

Consider the Age 50 Catch-Up Employees age 50 and older who participate in a governmental 457(b) may be eligible to make additional 457(b) contributions. For 2012, the potential additional contribution is 5,500* * Subject to annual cost of living adjustments in 500 increments. NOTE: The age 50 Catch-up and the Special 457(b) Catch-up cannot be used simultaneously. You must use whichever catchup lets you defer the greater amount. 13

Traditional 457(b) or Roth 457(b) As a result of recent tax code changes, plan participants now can choose between a Traditional 457(b) option or a Roth 457(b) option Before opening an account you may want to Consider the following

Consider a traditional 457(b) if you. . . Enjoy the benefits of current tax deferral Need to take home as much of your pay as possible Expect to be in a lower tax bracket in retirement 15

Consider a Roth 457(b) if you. . . Like the idea of possible tax-free retirement income* Are confident of salary increases over time Can afford a reduction in takehome pay * Certain conditions apply 16

Consider both if you . . . Aren’t sure whether your taxes will be higher or lower when you retire Want to diversify your tax strategy Still want to reduce your current taxable income Seek the advice of a tax attorney or tax advisor prior to making a tax-related insurance/investment decision. 17

Crunch the Numbers If you were to contribute to a (pre-tax) 457(b) plan, your monthly numbers could look like this: Gross Income Monthly Contribution Adjusted Gross Income Income Taxes* Disposable Income 3,000 100 2,900 725 2,175 If you were to contribute to a traditional after-tax savings account, your monthly numbers could look like this: Gross Income Income Taxes* Subtotal Monthly Contribution 3,000 750 2,250 75 * This hypothetical illustration assumes a 25% Federal Income Tax Rate only for a single filer. Any applicable state income taxes would change the results of this illustration. You should always consult with an independent tax advisor or financial professional before making tax or investment related decisions. 18 Disposable Income 2,175

Tax-Deferred vs. Taxable Investments 50,000 Estimated Account Accumulation 100 invested monthly for 20 Years at 6.00% 40,000 30,000 45,565 45,565 30,899 30,899 20,000 457(b) contribution (pre-tax) 10,000 Savings account (after-tax) 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1112 13 14 15 16 17 18 1920 Based on the illustration assumptions described below, a lump-sum distribution from the 457(b) plan after 20 years may be worth 34,174 (exclusive of tax penalties for early withdrawal). This illustration assumes current and future federal income tax rates of 25%. State income tax (if applicable) is excluded from the illustration. Income tax is due upon distribution from the tax-deferred plan. A 15% annual capital gains tax has been applied to the after-tax savings account. This illustration is intended to show the impact of pre-tax and after-tax investing and illustrate investment growth potential of each. The assumed hypothetical investment growth per year is shown for illustrative purposes only and is not indicative of any specific investment or investment vehicle. Systematic investing does not assume a profit or protect against loss. You should consider your ability to continue investing in up as well as down markets. These figures do not include fees or expenses that the product would assess, including mortality and expense risk charge (M&E), a daily asset charge and an administrative fee. If included, these fees would reduce the figures of the tax-deferred product shown above. Refer to the prospectus/prospectus summary/information booklet for more information about fees. Lower maximum tax rates on capital gains and dividends would make the investment return for the taxable investment more favorable, thereby reducing the difference in the performance between the accounts posted above. Consider your personal investment horizon as well as your current and anticipated income tax bracket when making an investment decision, as these may further impact the results of this illustration. Bear in mind that changes in tax rates and tax treatment of investment earnings may impact the comparative results. 19
