Note: To help achieve long-term retirement security, you should give careful consideration to the benefits of a well-balanced and diversified investment portfolio. Spreading your assets among different types of investments can help you achieve a favorable rate of return, while minimizing your overall risk of losing money. This is because market or other economic conditions that cause one category of assets, or one particular security, to perform very well often cause another asset category, or another particular security to perform poorly. If you invest more than 20% of your retirement savings in any one company or industry, your savings may not be properly diversified. Although diversification is not a guarantee against loss, it is an effective strategy to help you manage investment risk.
Part II – Fee and Expense Information
Table 3 shows fee and expense information for the investment options listed in Table 1 and Table 2. Table 3 shows the total annual operating expenses of the options in Table 1. Total annual operating expenses are expenses that reduce the rate of return of the investment option. Table 3 also shows shareholder-type fees. These fees are in addition to total annual operating expenses. Please see the “Information About This Document” section at the end of this document for further details.

Notes:
Contingent Deferred Sales Charges (CDSC) on A and C share classes of certain mutual funds may not apply to transactions related to participant activity. The transactions include transfers between funds, loans distributions and other benefit withdrawals. A CDSC may apply for actions related to employer transactions that result in closing the account. For employer transactions, a redemption fee may apply (typically 1% or less of the amount for shares held for less than 12 months). Details related to the CDSC can be found in each fund's prospectus and statement of additional information.
The cumulative effect of fees and expenses can substantially reduce the growth of your retirement savings. Visit the Department of Labor’s website for an example showing the long-term effect of fees and expenses at https://www.dol.gov/sites/dolgov/files/EBSA/about-ebsa/our-activities/resource-center/publications/a-look-at-401k-plan-fees.pdf. Fees and expenses are only one of many factors to consider when you decide to invest in an option. You may also want to think about whether an investment in a particular option, along with your other investments, will help you achieve your financial goals.
Part III – Annuity Information
Table 4 focuses on the annuity options under the plan. Annuities are insurance contracts that allow you to receive a guaranteed stream of payments at regular intervals, usually beginning when you retire and lasting for your entire life. Annuities are issued by insurance companies. Guarantees of an insurance company are subject to its long-term financial strength and claims-paying ability.

Compliance with Section 404(c) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
Your employer intends to satisfy the requirements of Section 404(c) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and corresponding Department of Labor regulations. This means that your employer is providing you with the opportunity to decide how to invest the assets in your account, enabling you to choose investments that fit your personal needs. Your employer and certain individuals in charge of the plan (known as fiduciaries) will not be responsible for the investment performance of your account that results from your investment instructions.
For additional information, please contact Greg Korn at 210-***-**** or 5123 Blanco Road, San Antonio, TX 78216 who monitors compliance with these procedures.
