Transition Events: Current and Newly Eligible Plan Participants
Plan Ahead for Your Plan
Blackout Period
To help ensure that all applicable plan information is transferred from your current
provider to Fidelity Investments, there may be a period of time when you will be unable
to direct or diversify investments in your plan account, obtain a loan (if applicable) from
the plan, or process a distribution from the plan, and you may not be able to change your
payroll deductions. This period of time, during which you will be unable to exercise your
rights otherwise available under the plan, is called a “blackout period” and begins on
08/25/2014, and is expected to end on or before 10/10/2014. You will receive an
additional notice regarding this timeframe. The additional notice is a more formal
announcement, and is referred to as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOA) notification.
For this reason, it is very important that you review and consider the appropriateness of
your current investment options in light of your inability to direct or diversify those
investments during the blackout period. For your long-term retirement security, you
should give careful consideration to the importance of a well-balanced portfolio, taking
into account all your assets, income and investments.
Whether or not you are planning retirement in the near future, we encourage you to
carefully consider how this blackout period may affect your retirement planning and your
overall financial plan.

Stock values fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions. In general, bond prices rise when interest rates fall and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities. All of the mutual funds available are offered at net asset value (NAV) without any front or back-end sales charges. Other fees and expenses applicable to a continued investment in the funds do apply.
Transition Events
As part of the transition, assets will be liquidated and transferred to Fidelity. When received at Fidelity, all assets will be invested in the Fidelity Money Market Trust Retirement Government Money Market Portfolio (0631). Assets will remain invested in this fund until the final valuation is received from the prior recordkeeper and the trust reconciliation has been completed and approved.
Upon the Plan Administrator’s approval of the trust reconciliation, new contributions and your existing balance will be invested in the Life Cycle Fund based on your date of birth as outlined in the chart below. Your balance and new contributions will remain invested in the applicable fund until such time as you request an exchange. This will occur unless you have provided new investment direction during the open enrollment period.
You may “opt out” of the applicable Life Cycle Fund and select among the plan’s available investment options. To opt out, you MUST make elections via the on-line NetBenefits site or through a Fidelity Representative as indicated under the Key Dates section above. If you have not made elections via NetBenefits or a phone representative by that date, your account will be invested in the applicable Fidelity Advisor Freedom Fund as described above until the transition period has ended.

The target date funds are designed for investors expecting to retire around the year indicated in each fund's name. The funds are managed to gradually become more conservative over time as it approaches the target date.] The investment risk of each target date fund changes over time as its asset allocation changes. The funds are subject to the volatility of the financial markets, including that of equity and fixed income investments in the U.S. and abroad, and may be subject to risks associated with investing in high-yield, small-cap, and foreign securities. Principal invested is not guaranteed at any time, including at or after the target dates.
