Topics for Review Background to Changes in the Retirement Plan Steps Taken by Swarthmore College and the Fiduciary Committee The Swarthmore College New Investment Menu Changes to Consider & Things You Can Do Now Important Dates to RememberSwarthmore College3

Why Are Changes Being Made? In recent years, Federal regulation over retirement plans has evolved and imposed ahigher level of responsibility on 403(b) retirement plans, requiring them to operatemore like 401(k) plans. Sponsors of 403(b) plans are subject to fiduciary responsibilities as guided by sectionsof The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). The primary changes that Swarthmore College must adhere to include taking onfiduciary responsibility for: Selecting and monitoring plan investments; Assessing and monitoring the reasonableness of retirement plan fees; Distributing annual fee disclosure notices to participants; Providing an annual plan audit by a CPA.Swarthmore College4

Steps Taken to Comply with Regulations The Board of Managers of Swarthmore College established the Fiduciary Committeewhich was charged with fulfilling the College’s responsibilities for the Retirement Plan. The Committee retained Fiduciary Investment Advisors, LLC (FIA), a third partyindependent retirement plan consultant, to help the Committee assess the status of thecurrent retirement plan and assist with changes. The Committee conducted a rigorous review of the 403(b) retirement plan anddeveloped a strengthened and streamlined lineup of investment options. Investment options in the plan will continue to be monitored by the FiduciaryCommittee with the assistance of FIA.Swarthmore College5
