If, however, you do not wish for an automatic mapping of these assets, please keep in mind that you can change your investment elections on your own at any time. If you have assets in the funds being removed, you can transfer the balances of those funds to any available alternative fund by initiating a transfer prior to 4:00 p.m. ET on July 26^th. In addition, you can make changes to your future contribution elections (if applicable) for the funds being removed.

Blackout period: A blackout period will be in effect for all Plan participants from 4:00 p.m. ET on July 26 through 4:00 p.m. ET on July 28 while the fund changes are being made. During this period, no investment election changes, transfers or distribution transactions can be initiated, but accounts will continue to be credited with any investment gains or losses.

*The Default Investment Option, as listed below, is the appropriate time-based fund based on the year you attain age 65. Each fund contains a combination of fixed income, bond-based and equity-based funds and targets a five-year period that contains the year in which you attain age 65.
