3 Important Information You should consider the investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses of the investment options carefully before investing. Fund prospectuses and an information booklet can be obtained by contacting your local representative. Please read carefully before investing. (bold and same size as majority of text in presentation) Group annuity contracts offered through a retirement program are long-term investments designed for retirement purposes. Money distributed will be taxed as ordinary income in the year the money is received. Account values fluctuate with market conditions and, when surrendered, the principal may be worth more or less than the original amount invested. An annuity does not provide any additional tax deferral benefit, tax deferral is provided by the plan. Annuities may be subject to additional fees and expenses to which other tax-qualified plan funding vehicles may not be subject. However, annuities provide features and benefits such as lifetime income payments and death benefits that may be valuable to you. The Participant Information Booklet and fund prospectuses contain additional information about the expenses associated with the investment options. Insurance products issued by ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company. Securities distributed by ING Financial Advisers, LLC (member SIPC), One Orange Way, Windsor, CT 06095- 4774 or other broker/dealers with which ING has selling agreements.

5 The Roth 457 option A Roth 457(b) offers you the potential for tax-free* income when you retire. *Certain qualifying conditions apply.

6 Would you rather pay taxes later? With the Traditional 457(b) Now: Pay no income taxes on contributions during your working years. Pay taxes when you withdraw during retirement. Later: The Internal Revenue Code generally prohibits withdrawals of 457(b) contributions and earnings prior to death, age 70 1/2, severance of employment, or unforeseeable emergency. Note that distributions from the Roth 457(b) are subject to taxation on the portion attributable to earnings if made before Qualified Distribution provisions are satisfied. A Qualified Distribution is one that meets the 5 year rule AND occurs at least at age 59 1/2, death, or disability

7 Or get them out of the way now? With the Roth 457(b) Now: Pay income taxes on contributions as you make them. Withdraw savings tax-free during retirement, once qualifying conditions are met. Later: The Internal Revenue Code generally prohibits withdrawals of 457(b) contributions and earnings prior to death, age 70 1/2, severance of employment, or unforeseeable emergency. Note that distributions from the Roth 457(b) are subject to taxation on the portion attributable to earnings if made before Qualified Distribution provisions are satisfied. A Qualified Distribution is one that meets the 5 year rule AND occurs at least at age 59 1/2, death, or disability.

8 Some things change. Some things stay the same. Simple payroll deductions. Same high contribution limits* as for a traditional 457(b). Access to the same investment options. Same flexibility to make investment changes. Same required minimum distributions. *When contributing to both, traditional and Roth, contribution limits apply to the combined balance.

16 Is Roth right for you? Consider this …  Are you looking for tax-free (subject to qualifying conditions) retirement income?  Do you expect your taxes to be higher when you retire?  Are you currently in a lower income tax bracket?  Do you like the idea of diversifying your tax strategy by contributing to both the 457(b) and the Roth 457(b) options?

The taxpayer should seek advice from an independent tax advisor. There’s more …

17 Is Roth right for you? Consider this.

In order to complete the rollover to the Roth IRA, taxes will need to be paid on the traditional 457(b)
