PortfolioXpress PortfolioXpress is a registered service mark of Transamerica Retirement Solutions Corporation (Transamerica). PortfolioXpress presents a series of asset allocation models up to and through a designated retirement year. You are solely responsible for selecting the retirement year and risk preference (if applicable). In implementing the service, you agree to each asset allocation mix and automated rebalancing transaction that will take place over time within the account as you approach the selected retirement year. If you sign up, you should carefully review the service agreement for details on any applicable fees and other terms and conditions that may apply. PortfolioXpress is designed as investment education. Transamerica does not provide investment advice. Retirement date portfolios are subject to the same risks as the underlying assets in which they invest. In general, the higher the portfolio’s allocation to stocks, the greater the risk. The principal value of the portfolio is never guaranteed, including at and after the target date. Diversification does not guarantee against loss in a falling market. 24 Transition with Ease
SecurePath for Life SecurePath for Life consists of a group variable annuity contract which offers certain guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefits to participants. Although SecurePath for Life provides a guaranteed income base as well as a guaranteed income amount consisting of a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit, the investment options available under the product are variable investments and may lose value. Certain withdrawals will reduce a participant’s income base, and therefore the guaranteed income amount. Your plan sponsor may exercise certain rights under the group variable annuity contract that may terminate the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefits available to you, including termination of the contract, termination of the plan, or the transfer of the assets left under the contract to another investment fund. Guarantees are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the contract and the prospectus. Group annuity contracts are issued by Transamerica Life Insurance Company (TLIC), 4333 Edgewood Road NE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52499, which is licensed and offers products in all states except New York. Withdrawal guarantees provided under SecurePath for Life are supported by TLIC’s general account and are contingent on the claims paying ability of TLIC.

Disclosures for slide 23 Custom Model Portfolios: When considering a custom portfolio, first think about your personal circumstances, market outlook, risk tolerance, and the potential universe of appropriate investments. If you subscribe to the service, your account will be rebalanced to the portfolio option you select. From time to time, funds may be added to or removed from the custom portfolio mixes, or changes may occur to the portfolios’ target investment allocations. The custom model portfolios are subject to the same risks as the underlying assets in which they invest. The higher the portfolio's allocation to stocks, the greater the risk. The portfolio's principal value is never guaranteed. Maintenance of these portfolios is the responsibility of name of employer name of advisor .Transamerica Retirement Solutions does not provide advice to your account. Transamerica Managed Account: Ibbotson Associates , Inc. is an independent, third-party, SEC-registered investment adviser that provides the investment advice and portfolio management methodologies for the Managed AccountSM service. Neither Transamerica Retirement Solutions nor Ibbotson is responsible for selecting the core investment options available within the plan. Target date funds generally invest in a mix of stocks, bonds, cash equivalents, and potentially other assets, either directly or via underlying investments, and may be subject to all the risks of these assets. The allocations become more conservative over time: The percentage of assets allocated to stocks will decrease while the percentage allocated to bonds will increase as the target date approaches. The higher the allocation is to stocks, the greater the risk. The investment option’s principal value is never guaranteed, including at and after the target date. Asset allocation funds invest in a mix of stocks, bonds, cash equivalents, and potentially other types of assets, either directly or via underlying investments, and are generally considered diversified investment choices. Allocation funds may be subject to all of the risks of the assets in which they invest. The higher the fund’s allocation to stocks, the greater the risk. Asset allocation and diversification do not assure better performance, cannot eliminate the risk of investment losses, and do not protect against an overall declining market. 26 Transition with Ease

DISCLOSURES About Probability Illustrations, Limitations, and Key Assumptions The probability illustrations the OnTrack tool generates are based on “Monte Carlo” simulations of 500 possible investment scenarios for a given time period and assume a range of possible returns. The illustrations are generated according to models developed by Ibbotson Associates, a leading independent provider of asset allocation, analytical, and wealth forecasting software. The Your Retirement Outlook SM graphic reflects the difference between the model’s estimated annual income (which corresponds to a 70% probability of achieving your income goal in the investment scenarios simulated) and your annual income goal. When forecasting the probability of achieving your income goal, the model employs different returns for different asset classes, based on Ibbotson’s capital market assumptions developed using historical and forward-looking data. Current assets are assigned to asset classes based on Morningstar categories, and fees and charges inherent in investing are incorporated with an average fee assumption for each asset class. The historical and forward-looking benchmarks used for modeling the various asset classes are below. Return assumptions are updated annually; these updates may have a material impact on your projections. Return assumptions are estimates not guarantees. The returns you experience may be materially different than projections. You cannot invest directly in an index. . 41 Transition with Ease

DISCLOSURES OnTrack Tool: Assumptions and Limitations Unless you choose otherwise or your employer supplies different information, the probability illustrations assume retirement at the age at which you qualify for full Social Security benefits and an annual retirement income goal of 80% of your projected final working salary. Social Security estimates are based on the Social Security Administration methodology and your current salary. The probability illustrations also assume a consistent contribution percentage (unless you’ve chosen to periodically increase it) and asset allocation (no future changes or rebalancing), annual inflation of approximately 2%, and annual salary increases based on a calculation that incorporates multiple factors including a salary growth curve and inflation. Mortality assumptions are based on the Society of Actuaries tables. The models are subject to a number of limitations. Returns associated with market extremes may occur more frequently than assumed in the models. Some asset classes have relatively limited histories; for these classes the models use historical data for shorter time periods. The model does not consider other asset classes such as hedge funds or private equity, which may have characteristics similar or superior to those used in the model. There is no guarantee that your income goal will be achieved or that the aggregate accumulated amount will ensure a specified annual retirement income. Results derived from the OnTrack tool may vary with each use and over time. IMPORTANT: The projections or other information generated by the OnTrack tool regarding the likelihood of various investment outcomes are hypothetical in nature, do not reflect actual investment results, and are not guarantees of future results. Moreover, even though the tool’s estimates are statistically sound based upon the simulations it runs, the tool cannot foresee or account for every possible scenario that may negatively impact your financial situation. Thus you should monitor your account regularly and base your investment decisions on your time horizon, risk tolerance, and personal financial situation, as well as on the information in the prospectuses for investments you consider. . 43 Transition with Ease
