Any guarantees under annuities issued by T Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (TIAA) are subject to its claims-paying ability. Interest credited includes a guaranteed rate, plus additional amounts as may be established by the TIAA Board of Trustees. Such additional amounts, when declared, remain in effect for the “declaration year” which begins each March 1 for accumulating annuities and January 1 for payout annuities. Additional amounts are not guaranteed for periods other than the period for which they were declared. 2 “Revenue Sharing” describes the practice when investment providers share in the cost of plan administration. Please note that TIAA Traditional, TIAA Real Estate, TIAA Stable Value, and all CREF Annuity accounts do not have an explicit revenue share. Rather they have a “plan services offset” that is applied to your plan’s administrative and recordkeeping costs. 3 A contractual or voluntary fee waiver may apply. Please see the fund’s prospectus for details. 4 A redemption fee may apply. Please see the fund’s prospectus for details. Investment products may be subject to market and other risk factors. See the applicable product literature, or visit TIAA.org/pacificu and enter a ticker symbol in the site’s search feature for details. Annuity account options are available through annuity contracts issued by TIAA or CREF. These contracts are designed for retirement or other long-term goals, and offer a variety of income options, including lifetime income. Payments from the variable annuity accounts are not guaranteed and will rise or fall based on investment performance. A lifecycle fund is a “fund of funds,” primarily invested in shares of other mutual funds. The fund’s investments are adjusted from more aggressive to more conservative over time as the target retirement date approaches. The principal value of a lifecycle fund isn’t guaranteed at any time, including at the target-date. The target date represents an approximate date when investors may plan to begin withdrawing from the fund. Also, please note that the lifecycle fund is selected for you based on your projected retirement date (assuming a retirement age of 65). Lifecycle funds share the risks associated with the types of securities held by each of the underlying funds in which they invest. In addition to the fees and expenses associated with the lifecycle funds, there is exposure to the fees and expenses associated with the underlying mutual funds. 4 Questions?

How VALIC account balances will transfer to TIAA Pacific University will transfer current account balances to the lifecycle index funds at TIAA. Your VALIC balance(s) will be applied first to the Vanguard Federal Money Market fund. Once the information is received from VALIC, TIAA will then transfer the balance(s) from the Vanguard Federal Money Market fund to the age-appropriate TIAA- CREF Lifecycle Index Fund. When your VALIC account balance is transferred to the lifecycle index fund, it will be transferred to the fund that corresponds to the year you turn 65 as shown in the chart below. For example, if you will turn 65 in 2044, contributions and balance(s) will be directed to the Lifecycle Index 2045 Fund. These are the plan’s default investment options selected by Pacific University. You will receive two confirmations from TIAA: One for the transfer to the Vanguard Federal Money Market fund and one for the transfer to the age-appropriate TIAA-CREF Lifecycle Index Fund. Account balance(s) from VALIC will be applied to the new investment option(s) as of 1 p.m. (PT) on the date the balance(s) are received in accurate and complete order. Your account will not be invested in the new funds for at least one business day. You’ll receive confirmations showing the balance(s) transferring from VALIC and being applied to your new TIAA account. Please note: The date of the transfer depends on the accurate, timely transfer of data from VALIC to TIAA. If this does not occur, transfers could be delayed. Once your VALIC balances have transferred to the corresponding lifecycle fund, and the blackout has ended, you can go into your account and review the investment options.
