Notice of Fund Changes (“Notice”) for: LNL Agents’ 401(k) Savings Plan
|
Dear Plan Participant:
This Notice gives you an overview of changes recently made to the LNL Agents’ 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Plan”) and the actions you may wish to consider as a result of such changes.
Effective June 13, 2025, the Income America 2025 Fund 5ForLife-L ("2025 Fund") was merged into and became part of the Income America In Retirement Fund 5ForLife-L (“In Retirement Fund”). The In Retirement Fund, designed for those participants who are entering in or who are already in retirement, provides a mix of stocks, bonds and cash that tends to be managed to more of a conservative asset-allocation strategy. Its aim is to provide participants with steady income throughout retirement.
The 2025 Fund was designed to evolve to reduce its exposure to stocks until its mix of investments matched the In Retirement Fund (i.e., they eventually would have the same asset allocation). Because the 2025 Fund now mirrors the In Retirement Fund, the 2025 Fund was merged into the In Retirement Fund effective June 13, 2025.
Any existing assets and/or future contribution investment elections received that were in the 2025 Fund as of June 13, 2025, were automatically mapped (or transferred) as shown in the chart below. Any contributions or rollovers received on or after June 13, 2025 that were directed to the fund being eliminated will be mapped as shown in the chart below. Note, any contributions received during the period June 13, 2025 (including contributions made with the June 25, 2025 pay) and June 30, 2025 (the date the mapping [or transfer]) was completed,
were adjusted for any gains and/or losses incurred during such period and these amounts were also transferred to the In Retirement Fund.
For purposes of clarity, the terms “mapped” and “mapping” refer to your future contributions, while “transferred” and “transfer” refer to your existing account balances.
