• New Default Investment. A new default investment option has been selected for the plan.

• You can receive personalized advice on the plan’s investment options by a TIAA financial consultant. This service is available as part of your retirement plan at no additional cost to you. Investment advice is available online, by phone or through a one-on-one advice session.

While changes to your investment elections can be made at any time, the investment election window allows you to select from the new investment options prior to April, when the changes go into effect. If you do not provide investment instructions during the Investment Election Period, they will be invested in an age-appropriate American Funds Target Date Retirement Fund.

• Update your investment allocations for future contributions and for any balances that will be transferred to your new account.

These new choices offer you flexibility to create a diversified retirement portfolio.

* TIAA Traditional Annuity is a guaranteed insurance contract and not an investment for federal securities law purposes. Any guarantees under annuities issued by TIAA are subject to TIAA’s claims-paying ability. Interest credited includes a guaranteed rate, plus additional amounts as may be established by the TIAA Board of Trustees. Such additional amounts, when declared, remain in effect for the “declaration year” which begins each March 1 for accumulating annuities and January 1 for payout annuities. Additional amounts are not guaranteed for periods other than the period for which they were declared.

Investment products may be subject to market and other risk factors. See the applicable product literature, or visit TIAA.org and enter a ticker symbol in the site’s search feature for details.Annuity account options are available through annuity contracts issued by TIAA or CREF. These contracts are designed for retirement or other long-term goals, and offer a variety of income options, including lifetime income. Payments from the variable annuity accounts are not guaranteed and will rise or fall based on investment performance.** “Revenue Sharing” is a term that describes the practice when investment providers share in the cost of Plan administration. Please note that TIAA Traditional, TIAA Real

Estate, and all CREF Annuity accounts do not have an explicit revenue share. Rather they have a “plan services offset” that is applied to your Plan’s administrative and recordkeeping costs.

Below are your new options, which include the following asset classes: Guaranteed, Money Market, Fixed Income (Bonds), Multi-Asset, Real Estate and Equities (Stocks). To learn more about the new investment options, go to TIAA.org and enter the ticker symbol in the site’s search feature.Your Guaranteed option is a fixed annuity that pays you interest at competitive crediting rates that are announced in advance. There is no explicit expense ratio because this is a fixed annuity.

Your new options



For all plan participants:Changes to the retirement plan’s investment lineupSaint Anselm College is taking this opportunity to change the investment options available through the DC Plan. The new investments, carefully selected by Saint Anselm College for its employees, may give you the ability to create a diversified retirement portfolio that matches your investment goals and preferences.

Saint Anselm College will remove several investment options from the lineup and replace them with new options. In addition, Saint Anselm College has decided to create a default investment option for the DC Plan. The new default option is a target-date fund. Each target-date fund provides a diversified retirement portfolio in a single fund.

Providing you with a new TIAA account All participants will be enrolled in a new TIAA account on March 10, 2017, and receive a confirmation kit with important information on making the most of your participation with TIAA. If you don’t have an existing TIAA account in the Saint Anselm College plans, your beneficiary designation will be set to Estate. We encourage you to update your beneficiary online at TIAA.org/anselm at your earliest convenience.

How your future contributions will be directed to the new investment optionsStarting April 1, your future contributions will be directed to the new investment options in your TIAA account, unless you direct otherwise during the Investment Election Period. Your future contributions will be transferred as shown on pages 5 and 6.

Investment Election Period Beginning March 10, through April 10, 2017, at market close, you may change the way future contributions are directed before the new investment menu takes effect. If you do not provide investment instructions during this period, you can always make changes after the new menu is in effect.

For Mutual of America participants only:Please note that your retirement plan assets at Mutual of America, cannot be transferred to the new investment menu at TIAA without your consent. To provide such consent, you will need to complete the Consent to Transfer form and submit it to the Saint Anselm College Office of Human Resources prior to March 31, 2017.

If you do not complete and submit the form by March 31, 2017, your assets will remain at Mutual of America until you elect to transfer them individually. By submitting your Consent to Transfer form now, TIAA will handle the transition of your assets quickly and with minimal effort on your part. You can also meet with a TIAA financial consultant during this transition period so that you can evaluate the new investment options and make an informed decision.

Asset transfer from Mutual of America to TIAA for those who submit their form by March 31, 2017If you submit your Consent to Transfer form by March 31, 2017, your current account balance with Mutual of America will be transferred to your new TIAA account on April 10, 2017. To facilitate a smooth transfer of current investment assets to TIAA, a brief “Blackout Period” will take place. During this time, you will not be able to change your investment choices, make withdrawals or transfer funds. The Blackout Period only applies to assets currently invested at Mutual of America. Please review the enclosed Blackout Notice for additional details.

Additionally, all account balances at Mutual of America that are to be transferred on April 10, will be directed to your current allocation strategy on file at TIAA at time of transfer. If you do not provide investment instructions during the Investment Election Period, they will be invested in an age-appropriate American Funds Target Date Retirement Fund as identified on page 7. However, you can always make changes after the new menu is in effect.

All assets to be transferred will follow a two-step transfer process. TIAA will receive proceeds from Mutual of America and apply them to the Vanguard Treasury Money Market Investor Fund (VUSXX). Once participant data is received from Mutual of America, TIAA will transfer assets from the Vanguard Treasury Money Market Investor Fund to the allocation on file for each participant. You will receive two confirmations from TIAA: One for the transfer to the Vanguard Treasury Money Market Investor Fund and a second for the transfer from the Vanguard Treasury Money Market Investor Fund to your allocation on file.

The Roth contribution option will be available starting April 1, 2017

Now that the Saint Anselm College DC Plan offers a new way to save for retirement, we can provide you with information to help you decide whether the Roth contribution option is the right savings choice for your situation.

You may be familiar with how pretax contributions work through your current DC Plan, since your current contributions are made on a pretax basis. This means the money comes out of your paycheck before your income is taxed, which lowers your taxable income.

With the Roth contribution option, your contribution is taken out of your paycheck after your income is taxed, which does not lower your current taxable income. You might be wondering why contributing after-tax income would be to your advantage? Your contributions, and the earnings on them, are tax free upon withdrawal in retirement provided certain conditions discussed below are met.

When you withdraw funds from your DC Plan, you won’t pay taxes on any earnings on the Roth contributions, as long as you have separated from service, or attained age 70½, and your withdrawal is made at least five years after making your first Roth contribution. Withdrawals of Roth contributions in all cases are always tax free since you have already paid the taxes when the contribution was made.

You often hear about the importance of diversification when investing: spread your funds across asset classes and don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Well, Roth contributions are another way of diversifying your investments, but on an after-tax basis. It’s difficult to say what your tax situation will be at retirement and what changes the government will make. The Roth contribution option savings feature could potentially reduce the amount of tax you pay in retirement by balancing out other sources of taxable income.

You may wish to consider Roth if you:

• Are just starting out and are currently in a lower tax bracket than you expect to be at retirement.

• Want to make Roth contributions that are greater than the Roth IRA contribution limit.

• Are not eligible to make Roth IRA contributions because your income exceeds the limits.

• Believe your income tax rates are likely to rise in the future.

• Want to hedge against the uncertainty of future tax rates by having both pretax and after-tax assets in your retirement account.

• Are interested in passing a portion of your retirement assets tax free to your heirs.

How to start making Roth contributions to the DC Plan after April 1, 2017

The Roth contribution option will be available to all participants in the DC Plan. To take advantage of the Roth contribution option, you will need to submit a new Salary Reduction Agreement online at TIAA.org/anselm after the change takes effect on April 1, 2017. For more information regarding Roth, go to TIAA.org/anselm. If you prefer, you can speak with a TIAA financial consultant by calling 800-842-2252, weekdays, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., or Saturday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. (ET).

3. What if I would like help making investment choices?You can get personalized advice on the plan’s investment options from a TIAA financial consultant. This service is available as part of your retirement program at no additional cost to you.

To schedule an advice session, call TIAA at 800-732-8353, weekdays, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. (ET). You can also schedule online at TIAA.org/schedulenow.

4. What should I expect from an advice session?You can expect a thorough review of your account and an action plan for moving forward. Advice sessions last approximately one hour. Bring all your investment account statements, including any retirement investments outside of the retirement plan and your most recent Social Security statement, if available. A TIAA financial consultant will use this information to

understand your current financial situation and develop an action plan. You may bring anyone you like to your session with you.

5. What happens to my current outstanding loan, systematic withdrawal, TPA (transfer payout annuity), or required minimum distribution? You will receive separate communications if any actions are required on your part.

6. Will I pay any fees to invest in the retirement plan(s)?All investment options have expenses and other fees that can be found by entering the investment’s ticker symbol into the search feature at TIAA.org. Some investment options may also have redemption and other fees.

Saint Anselm College is making some changes to the plans’ fee structure. Currently, the plan’s cost for administrative services is offset through the asset-based fees of the plan’s investment options. This approach is sometimes referred to as “revenue sharing” because the investment-related services and the administrative services are bundled together and provided in exchange for the revenue received with respect to the funds in which the plans invest. While using revenue sharing to offset the plan’s administrative costs is a common approach to allocating these expenses to retirement plan participants, the actual fees are not directly deducted from your account, and, therefore, it is not easy to identify the exact amount being paid, nor will this amount be reflected on your account statement.

With the change in fee structure, administrative fees will become more transparent for plan participants. The administrative fee, or plan servicing fee, will be equal to 16 basis points (bps), or 0.16% annually. However, if you invest in a fund that provides revenue sharing, the amount of any revenue share received by TIAA will be used to offset your 0.16% administrative expense. See page 3 for the actual plan servicing fee charged for each investment option.

These deductions will be identified as “TIAA Plan Servicing Fee” on your statement and when you view your account online. These fees are deducted in quarterly installments beginning with quarterly statements issued in July 2017, for the quarter ending June 2017, and every quarter thereafter. If your account balance is less than $25 on the date that a quarterly fee is to be assessed, no fee will be charged.

Using this method also allows Saint Anselm College to select less expensive mutual fund share classes available to the plans, reducing overall investment-related expenses.

7. I am currently contributing to TIAA. What happens to my current account balances and future contributions?Reference page 5 to see how your future contributions will be directed to the new investment menu. Starting March 10, 2017, you can direct any assets and future contributions to other options on the new investment menu. If no action is taken, Saint Anselm College has provided instructions to invest future contributions in the target-date fund closest to the year you turn 65.

8. Does it make sense to consolidate my Saint Anselm College Retirement Plan assets in my new TIAA account?Many people find it easier to manage their retirement money by working with only one provider. Consolidating your Mutual of America and current TIAA plan assets within your new TIAA account may be beneficial because Saint Anselm College has negotiated lower fees and selected investment options with a lower overall cost for you. You can meet with a TIAA financial consultant during this transition period so you can evaluate the new investment options and make an informed decision.

9. Can I move money from my existing TIAA account to my new one?Yes, but it’s a move you’ll want to weigh carefully. You may move money out of your existing TIAA contracts to the new contracts, subject to any restrictions that apply to the investments. However, any money that you move out of your existing contract(s) cannot be moved back into them.

There are also major differences between your current and new account relating to the TIAA Traditional Annuity. Please note the following points:

• The TIAA Traditional Annuity in your new account has a guaranteed minimum interest rate of between 1% and 3%, which may be lower than the guaranteed rate in your existing contract. TIAA Traditional may receive a higher crediting rate in the new contract.

• When TIAA Traditional assets are transferred out of an existing contract, you risk giving up a favorable crediting rate(s) on older contributions.

• TIAA Traditional can be liquidated within a shorter time frame under your new account than under the existing contract.

For additional details, see the Contract Comparison chart located at TIAA.org/contractcomparison.

10. What if I am splitting my contributions among TIAA and Mutual of America?Effective April 1, 2017, all future contributions will be directed to TIAA and invested according to the transfer chart for those assets, if applicable. You may change your allocation during the open election window starting March 10, 2017.

11. How much can I contribute using the new Roth contribution option?You can make any combination of pretax and after-tax Roth contributions to your DC Plan as long as your total does not exceed the IRS limit.

In 2017, you can contribute up to $18,000 to your DC Plan. In addition to regular contributions, in 2017 you also may contribute an additional $6,000 if you are age 50 or over.
