Why Save for Retirement?
Social Security will not be enough The impact of inflation Increased years in retirement Why do you need to save for retirement? There are a number of reasons, but three of the most important are: Social Security typically replaces less than half of your pre-retirement income – can you live on less than half of what you make today? Prices increase over time (this is called inflation) and if you have a number of years until retirement, the things you buy today may cost 2-3 times as much by the time you retire. Today, many people are living longer, and longer life spans may mean more years spent in retirement. The decisions you make today will have a substantial impact on the lifestyle you will have when you retire Now let’s talk about each of these in a little more depth starting with Social Security. 5 5

2012 Income Sources for Retirees
ASSET INCOME 11% SOCIAL SECURITY 37% PENSIONS 19% Experts suggest you’ll need between 70 to 90 percent of your current income (adjusted for inflation) in retirement. According to the Social Security Administration, Social Security provides approximately 37 percent of current income for today’s retirees. This means that the majority of your retirement income will need to come from other sources, such as a 401(k) plan. If you want to retire someday, you need to plan for it and start saving today. OTHER 3% EARNINGS 30% Source: Social Security Administration, Income of the Aged Chartbook, 2010, released March 2012 6 6

Higher Cost of Inflation
TAKE A LOOK AT HOW PRICES MAY CHANGE OVER TIME: 2012 IN 15 YEARS IN 25 YEARS NEW CAR $28,400 $42,040 $54,610 WEEK-LONG VACATION $2,500 $3,700 $4,810 WINTER COAT $150 $222 $288 1 LB. OF COFFEE $4.10 $6.07 $7.88 Inflation also will impact your savings significantly. For example, based on an annual 2.65 percent inflation rate, a new car that costs $28,400 today may cost more than $54,000 in 25 years. And the pound of coffee that costs $4.10 may cost almost $8. In any respect, you’ll need more money in the future just to maintain your current standard of living. Sources: Inflation Data.com, 2012 Current prices are estimates. Future prices based on an annual 2.65 percent rate of inflation. 7 7

Increased Years in Retirement
WHY DOES MY LIFE EXPECTANCY MATTER? As life expectancies continue to increase, so do the number of years spent in retirement. This is good news, but it also means that your retirement savings need to last even longer. You have, at most, years to put aside enough money to live an additional 18+ years – and 18 years is just the average. Many people spend well beyond 18 years in retirement. 8 8

What is a 401(k) Plan? A retirement plan offered by your employer
You contribute Your employer may contribute matching contributions Convenience Tax advantages [RM: EMPLOYER MATCH IS VARIABLE - DEPENDING ON THE PLAN SPONSOR.] Next, let’s talk about what a 401(k) plan is. A 401(k) plan is a retirement plan that your employer has set up to benefit you and your co-workers. There are many ways to save for retirement but a 401(k) plan has many advantages over other savings vehicles. If you set aside money for retirement by contributing to the plan, your employer may make matching contributions Convenience – the money is automatically deducted from your paycheck Tax advantages – the money you contribute is deducted from your pay before income taxes, so you’re able to invest more than if you’d waited until after you received your check. And the money in your account grows without being taxed until you withdraw it – so you may accumulate more than if you’d put your money in a taxable account Let’s look at some examples of how pretax investing can work to your advantage. 9 9

Advantages of Investing Pretax Dollars
Here’s an example of how much it actually costs to invest on a pretax basis. A $100 investment only costs $72.50, when you consider the tax savings you achieve by reducing your income by the $100 contribution of your 401k. [PRESENTER: REVIEW EACH COLUMN OF THE SLIDE ONE LINE AT A TIME] Assumes Adam and Michael are in a 27.5 percent tax bracket. Calculation shows federal income tax withholding only. 10 10

How Much Do You Need to Save?
Identify personal needs Develop a plan Now that you understand why you need to save for retirement and the advantages of saving through your 401(k) plan, let’s talk about how much you need to save. How much do you need to save? The answer is different for everyone. First, you need to identify your personal objectives and then develop a plan to meet them. Let’s take a look at what that means. 11 11
12
How Much Money Will I Need?
Age Annual Salary Amount Needed at Retirement 25 $20,000 $40,000 $60,000 $80,000 $286,037 $810,466 $1,470,965 $2,181,130 35 $207,741 $588,619 $1,068,321 $1,584,094 45 $150,876 $427,498 $775,892 $1,150,483 55 $109,577 $310,480 $563,509 $835,544 The amount of money you will need in retirement depends largely on the lifestyle you want during retirement and will be different for everyone. As a general rule, you’ll probably need enough money to replace about 75% of your pre-retirement income. This table – which can be found in your enrollment book – may give you an idea of how much you may need to save to fill the gap between Social Security and your total income needs in retirement. You can find your approximate age and salary to estimate how much money you’ll need to replace 75 percent of your income during retirement. For example, if you’re around age 35 and earn approximately $40,000, you may need more than $588,619. This chart is for illustration purposes only. Not intended to be investment advice; consult your financial/tax adviser for information about your specific situation. Assumes pretax savings through this plan and other tax deferred savings, no change in Social Security benefits, a 6 percent annual rate of return on investments after retirement, retiring at age 67 and living until age 85, with all funds exhausted by age 85. Assumes that salary and payout will grow at an annual rate of inflation of 3.25 percent. 12 12

How Much Should I Contribute?
Age Annual Salary Suggested Contribution Percent Suggested Weekly Contribution 25 $20,000 $40,000 $60,000 $80,000 8% 11% 14% 15% $30 $86 $156 $231 35 16% 19% 21% $43 $121 $219 $325 45 17% 24% 29% 32% $65 $184 $334 $495 55 45% 54% 60% $344 $623 $924 This chart is for illustration purposes only. Chart computes contributions suggested to reach 75 percent of income needed for retirement. Not intended to be investment advice; consult your financial/tax adviser for information about your specific situation. Some amounts may exceed plan- or IRS-imposed participant contribution limits for defined contribution plans. Check the Plan Highlights section of your enrollment book for the IRS-imposed contribution limits. This table – which is also in your enrollment book – is designed to help you determine how much you’ll need to contribute to reach the savings goal we just discussed. The suggested contribution is the estimated contribution needed to replace 75 percent of your income in retirement. This chart also illustrates the benefits of starting to save for retirement early in your career. A 25 year old making $20,000 a year would need to save 8% of pay whereas if they waited until age 45 to start saving, they would need to save 17% of pay to reach the same level of savings at retirement. 13 13

Why is Time Important? The Benefits of Starting Early
Even though Alana contributed more money to her retirement savings plan, Suzanne ended up with nearly twice as much at age 65. Why? Because Suzanne started early and took advantage of the power of time and compounding. This illustration assumes a 6 percent earned rate per year with money deposited at the beginning of the month. This rate is used for illustration purposes only and doesn't represent the actual performance of any specific investment. There’s no guarantee that any particular return will be achieved, and past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment returns will vary and principle values, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original investment. Where applicable, figures have been reduced based on a tax rate of 27.5 percent. $191,696 $136,694 Starting early is important – it can make a big difference. The earlier you start saving, the more time your money has to grow. And you earn a return not only on the money you contribute but also on the earnings those contributions can generate as well. This is the concept called “compounding.” This chart illustrates the power of starting early. Suzanne started contributing $100 a month at age 25. At age 65, she ended up with twice as much as Alana. That’s because Alana didn’t start contributing until age 45. Suzanne took advantage of the power of time and compounding. This illustration shows you the benefits of starting now – regardless what your age is. The sooner you start saving, the better off you’ll be at retirement. 14 14

Where Should I Invest My Money?
Professional investment portfolios Risk-based Time-based Build your own portfolio Professionally managed account options Self-directed Brokerage Account (SDBA)* *Not all plans qualify for the SDBA. Additional fees may apply. Not intended to be investment advice. [RM: RISK-BASED/TIME-BASED ARE VARIABLE; PMA’S AND SDBA’S ARE VARIABLE] Now that you know the importance of starting early and contributing regularly, your next questions is likely to be “Where should I invest my money?” No matter what type of investor you are, you can find fund options to match your individual investment style in your 401(k) plan. [You may select your investments from a risk {and/or} time based portfolio.] You may build your own portfolio from a variety of funds within your plan. [Your plan sponsor has chosen an individually managed account as your investment option.] [You have access to a self-directed account.] 15 15
16
Time Horizon To answer the question “Where Should I invest my money?” let’s start with some basic investment concepts. When determining where to invest your money, you need to consider several factors. The first is your time horizon. “Time horizon” refers to the amount of time you have between now and when you’ll need to begin using your retirement savings. Typically, the longer your time horizon, the more risk you may be willing to take, because you have more time to weather “ups” and “downs” in the market. 16 16
17
Risk/Return Profiles Your tolerance for risk is also important when determining where to invest your money. Your risk tolerance refers to how comfortable you are with the possibility of a short-term loss. Are you more comfortable with investments that seek to preserve your capital but offer lower potential for growth? Or can you handle the possibility of a short-term loss if the is potential for greater long-term growth. When selecting your investment mix, keep in mind the risk and growth potential of the various asset classes. Generally speaking, the higher the risk, the higher the potential return may be OVER THE LONG TERM. 17 17

Simplified Investing Through Professional Investment Portfolios
Portfolios that match your needs Rigorous expert selection process Professional diversification Automatically rebalanced based on pre-set allocation over time [If these types of investment concepts make your head spin, don’t worry. Your plan has selected investment options with a simplified method of investment for you. This method involves professional investment portfolios called [Mutual Directions, GlidePath or Vanguard Target Date funds]. These funds were developed with the help of professional investment advisors. Each portfolio was designed to match a particular investment style (from conservative to aggressive) or intended retirement date. All the funds in each portfolio are managed by professional investment managers who are put through a rigorous selection process.] And each portfolio is continually monitored and automatically rebalanced as needed. 18 18

Mutual Directions® Portfolios
Series of five risk-based portfolios One investment decision (determined by risk tolerance) Designed to meet the objectives of the conservative to aggressive investor [The Mutual Directions funds consist of 5 risk-based portfolios. They are designed for participants who want to invest in one diversified fund based on their tolerance for risk.] 19 19
20
Mutual Directions® Portfolios
Conservative to Aggressive Portfolios [Here’s a snapshot of the five portfolios. As you can see, they’re made up of different types of funds, including stocks, bonds and stable value securities. Mutual Directions 1 is the most conservative. Mutual Directions 5 is the most aggressive – all of its assets are invested in stocks. The others fall somewhere in between. As needed, these portfolios are automatically rebalanced on a quarterly basis to ensure the same mix of funds. For example, if you’re investing in Mutual Directions 2 and the stocks in your portfolio perform exceptionally well one quarter, the overall balance of your account may be skewed to a larger percentage of stocks, say 50 percent. When that happens, some of the stocks will be sold (and more stable value securities or bonds may be bought) to bring the overall mix back to 40 percent stocks, 30 percent bonds and 30 percent fixed-income securities. This is all done behind the scenes, so you don’t have to worry about keeping track of it.] Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss in a declining market. 20 20

[For investors who prefer to invest their money based on personal risk tolerance or time until retirement, your plan offers professionally developed asset allocation portfolios. GlidePath Retirement is a series of time-based portfolios designed to help investors achieve a broadly diversified portfolio that gradually becomes more conservative in its allocation as the target retirement date nears.

Roth 401(k) – More Ways to Save for Retirement
After-tax contributions Tax-free withdrawals* No income restrictions Eligible for matching contributions** Eligible for rollover into another qualified plan *Contributions must remain in the plan for 5 years from the first time Roth 401(k) contributions are made and begin after age 59 ½. Roth contributions are not available to be withdrawn as a loan, even if your plan permits plan loans. **Check your plan provisions. [RM: USE ONLY IF ROTH CONTRIBUTIONS OFFERED] Your plan also offers Roth 401(k) contributions. Roth contributions differ from traditional elective deferrals because they’re made on an after-tax basis. Taxes are paid on the contributions before they’re deducted from your paycheck. Roth deferrals will be taxed immediately to the participant; however, the deferral amounts and the earnings on them generally may be distributed federal income tax free, provided the distribution occurs at least 5 years after the participant began making Roth deferrals, is made after the participant reaches age 59 1/2 , or the following the participant’s death or disability. Similar to pretax elective deferrals, your Roth contributions are matched if your plan allows for matching contributions. As a participant, you decide which to contribute – Roth, pretax deferrals, or both. 53 53

What is more advantageous – Roth or Pretax
You may want to consider pretax contributions if: Minimizing the taxes you pay today is very important to you You think your tax rates will be lower when you retire than they are today The current tax savings you get by making pretax contributions is substantial Increasing your income would reduce tax credits you may be eligible for now You believe the certainty of an immediate tax reduction outweighs a potentially larger, but uncertain tax reduction in the future You have the self-discipline to take the tax savings and invest them for retirement You may want to consider Roth contributions if: You want your retirement savings to be tax free when withdrawn (subject to IRS conditions) You think your tax rates will be higher when you retire than they are today Your personal tax situation limits the benefits of pretax contributions today (your income is low or you have high tax deductions or credits) You plan to leave the money in the plan until you retire You are younger and have a long time to accumulate earnings on your contributions (compounding earnings will have a greater impact on the amount distributed tax free) You are not eligible for a Roth IRA due to income limitations [RM: USE ONLY IF ROTH CONTRIBUTIONS OFFERED] When determining which type of contribution to make – Roth or pretax, you may want to consider some of the following items listed on the screen. 54 54

Important Information
All graphs and charts are for illustration purposes only and do not represent actual performance of specific investments. Your investment results will differ. Unless noted, illustrations assume 6 percent growth per year with money deposited at the beginning of the month. Figures have been reduced based on a tax rate of 27.5 percent. Taxes must be paid when funds are withdrawn. This presenter does not offer investment advice, legal advice, tax advice or tax opinions. Consult with your investment, legal or tax professional before taking any action based on this information. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment options are offered through a group variable annuity contract (Forms [902-GAQC-09, 903-GAQC-14, 903-GAQC-14 FL, 903-GAQC-14 MN, 903-GAQC-14 OR, 903-GAQC-14 TX], or state equivalent) underwritten by United of Omaha Life Insurance Company for contracts issued in all states except New York. United of Omaha Life Insurance Company, Omaha, NE is licensed nationwide except in New York. Companion Life Insurance Company, Hauppauge, NY is licensed in New York and underwrites the group variable annuity [(Form 900-GAQC-07(NY))]. Each company accepts full responsibility for each of their respective contractual obligations under the contract but does not guarantee any contributions or investment returns except as to the Guaranteed Account and the Lifetime Guaranteed Income Account as provided under the contract. Specific features of the Lifetime Guaranteed Income Account vary by state. Restrictions apply. The Lifetime Guaranteed Income Account is not available in Nevada or New York. Neither United of Omaha Life Insurance Company, Companion Life Insurance Company, nor their representatives or affiliates offers investment advice in connection with the contract. Group variable annuities are long-term investment vehicles designed to accumulate money on a tax-deferred basis for retirement purposes. Distributions may be subject to ordinary income tax and, if taken prior to age 59½, a 10 percent federal tax penalty may apply. Investing in a group variable annuity involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Mutual Directions: The performance of the portfolios is dependent on the performance of their underlying funds, and will assume the risks associated with these funds. The risks will vary according to each portfolio's asset allocation, and the risk level assigned to each portfolio is intended to reflect the relative short-term price volatility among the funds in each. Investment return and principal value of security investments will fluctuate. The value at the time of redemption may be more or less than the original cost. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market. Investments in target date funds are subject to the risks of their underlying funds. The year in the fund name refers to the approximate year (the target date) when an investor in the fund would retire and leave the work force. The fund will gradually shift its emphasis from more aggressive investments to more conservative ones based on its target date. A target date fund is not guaranteed at any time, including on or after the target date. 60 60

Important Information
GlidePath/Vangaard Target: The year in the target date fund name refers to the approximate year when an investor in the fund would retire and leave the work force. The fund will gradually shift its emphasis from more aggressive investments to more conservative investments based on the target date. The equity allocation of the Vanguard Target Retirement Funds is relatively more conservative closer to and at retirement while the retirement strategy of the Mutual GlidePath funds translates into an equity allocation that is somewhat more aggressive in order to protect against longevity risk. Vanguard's glide path converts to the Vanguard Target Retirement Income Fund, with a static asset allocation, following the seventh year of reaching the named target date. The Mutual GlidePath funds' underlying investment allocations continue adjusting along the glide path for approximately twenty years beyond the named target date. The return of principal for the underlying funds in a target date fund is not guaranteed at any time, including on or after the target date. Although the target date funds are managed for investors on a projected retirement date time frame, the fund's allocation strategy does not guarantee that investors' retirement goals will be met and a target date fund should not be invested in based solely on age or retirement date. Unit price, principal value and return will vary and an investor may have a gain or loss when units are sold. Roth contributions are not available to be withdrawn as a loan, even if your plan permits plan loans. Prior to selecting investment options for your retirement account, you should consider the investment objectives, risks, fees and expenses of each option carefully. For this and other important information, you should review your enrollment materials or the participant website. Read this information carefully. 61 61
