3 Income options continued. Spousal consent Beneficiary information Tax implications Your spouse must sign a waiver form for you to transfer your pension funds to a PRIF. You must name your spouse as the beneficiary of your PRIF. If you do not have a spouse, you can name a beneficiary of your choice. If you do not designate a beneficiary, your assets will default to your estate. PRIF withdrawals are considered part of your annual income. In addition, withholding tax will apply to any withdrawals over the minimum. However, assets remaining in the PRIF and their investment growth are tax-sheltered until withdrawn. Not required. You can name the beneficiary of your choice. If you do not designate a beneficiary, your assets will default to your estate. RRIF withdrawals are considered part of your annual income. In addition, withholding tax will apply to any withdrawals over the minimum. However, assets remaining in the RRIF and their investment growth are tax-sheltered until withdrawn. * The Group Retirement not only includes PRIF and RRIF options available under pension legislation, but also includes LIF and LRIF options offered in other pension jurisdictions. This availability will allow for investments in your pension plan that originated from plans in other pension jurisdictions to comply with regulations in those pension jurisdictions. Investment Options There are 8 different investment options to choose from, identical to that of the 2000 Academic Money Purchase Pension Plan and the Research Pension Plan. They are set out in the tables below.

5 And there s more! Fee advantage As a member of the Group Retirement, you will also benefit from paying lower fees that would generally not be available to you as an individual investor at a mutual fund company or other financial institution. Lower fees are an important benefit of belonging to a group plan, and the result of the collaboration between the and Sun Life Financial is more bargaining power than you probably would have had on your own. Lower fees can have a large impact on the costs you incur in your retirement income plan, and you keep more money where it belongs in your account. Retirees are charged an annual Sun Life Financial administrative fee of 1/10 of one percent (0.10%) of balances; and an administrative fee of $50 per year is charged by the University. Investment management fees are charged in the same manner as the 2000 Academic Money Purchase Pension Plan and the Research Pension Plan. The table below shows the annualized fees as of December 31, 2014: Investment Management Fee Sun Life Administration Fee Total Fees* Money market 0.11% 0.10% 0.21% Bond 0.10% 0.10% 0.20% Conservative Life cycle 0.13% 0.10% 0.23% Balanced Life cycle 0.25% 0.10% 0.35% Aggressive Life cycle 0.31% 0.10% 0.41% Canadian Equity 0.41% 0.10% 0.51% U.S. Equity 0.10% 0.10% 0.20% International Equity 0.64% 0.10% 0.74% * Does not include $50 annual administrative fee. You can find up-to-date information on the fees you pay online. Simply sign in to mysunlife.ca using your access ID and password, and select my financial centre > Accounts > Account fees. Additional features of the Group Retirement Members have many options for withdrawal schedules (annual, semi-annual, quarterly, or monthly) or lump sum withdrawals. Membership is extended to retirees from the 2000 Academic Money Purchase Pension Plan, and Research Pension Plan. Sun Life Financial manages the transition of balances and administers all accounts. Retirees have access to retirement planning services from Sun Life Financial advisors, normally only available through financial planners in the private marketplace. Members have access to the Sun Life Financial system including the Customer Care Centre, Member Website, Transition Service Centre and the RRIF Call Centre. Members may exit the Group Retirement with the payment of a minimal fee, presently set at $100. The Academic Money Purchase Pension Committee (AMPPC) provides the oversight duties for the Group Retirement. Retirees contribute to the expenses associated with the oversight duties via a portion of the annual administrative fee.

7 Prescribed Registered Retirement Income (RRIF) Frequently Asked Questions The following information is provided by the Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority, Pensions Division. It is the same product as the PRIF that is part of the Group Retirement. You can find more information on prescribed RRIFs at the following website: When can I start a Prescribed RRIF? You must be eligible to commence your pension in order to be eligible to transfer locked-in pension money to a prescribed RRIF. If you are transferring money directly from a pension plan, the earliest age at which your pension can commence is established by the rules of the plan. You may transfer money from a LIRA at the earlier of age 55 or the early retirement age established by the plan where the money originated. Does my spouse have to sign a consent form for me to transfer to a Prescribed RRIF? Yes, under pension legislation your spouse is entitled to receive a guaranteed pension on your death paying 60% of the pension amount to which you were entitled. A prescribed RRIF cannot provide that guarantee to your spouse. As well, there is nothing preventing you from withdrawing the entire amount from your prescribed RRIF in which case your spouse would not receive any pension on your death. What is the minimum withdrawal required to be made from a Prescribed RRIF? A prescribed RRIF must be registered under the Income Tax Act. One of the most important rules found in the Income Tax Act for a RRIF is that you must be paid an income each year, except for the first year of the contract. The Income Tax Act establishes the minimum annual withdrawal required to be made from a RRIF. You do not have to withdraw money in the calendar year in which the RRIF is established. A RRIF operates on a calendar year basis. The amount of the minimum withdrawal varies each year based on your age at January 1. Can I use my spouse s age in determining the minimum withdrawal? Yes, the Income Tax Act permits you to use your age or the age of your spouse in determining the minimum withdrawal. This is a one-time decision made when the prescribed RRIF is established. Using the age of the younger person will reduce the minimum required withdrawal. To determine the minimum annual payment, multiply the value of your prescribed RRIF as at January 1 by the rate that corresponds to your (or your spouse s) age: Minimum withdrawal table for PRIF and RRIF Age at January 1 Rate % Age at January 1 Rate % Age at January 1 Rate % & beyond R E T I R E M E N T G U I D E S U N L I F E F I N A N C I A L 6
8 What is the maximum withdrawal from a Prescribed RRIF? There is no maximum limit on RRIF withdrawals. Will I be taxed on the withdrawals? The withdrawal will be considered part of your income for the year and you will have to pay tax. There is no withholding tax on the minimum withdrawal. Tax is required to be withheld on withdrawals that exceed the minimum. What are the rules for investing my Prescribed RRIF? The investment rules are those placed on a RRIF by the Income Tax Act. No further restrictions apply. You determine how the money in your prescribed RRIF is invested and investment earnings continue to grow on a tax-sheltered basis to the extent they are not withdrawn. What happens when I die? You must name your spouse as beneficiary of the money in your prescribed RRIF. However, your spouse may waive his or her designated beneficiary status by signing a waiver form. Your spouse may revoke the waiver at any time by providing notice to the issuer of the prescribed RRIF. If you have no spouse or if your spouse has signed a waiver, the money will pass to a designated beneficiary or your estate and will be taxed in the year of your death as determined by your executor. The disposition of the money is governed by the Income Tax Act. Where can I find a Prescribed RRIF? A wide variety of financial institutions, such as banks, trust companies, credit unions, insurance companies and brokerage firms, offer the product. Can my Prescribed RRIF be seized by my creditors? No, the money in a prescribed RRIF is exempt from execution, seizure or attachment. Also, you may not assign the money. However, a prescribed RRIF could be subject to a division on spousal relationship breakdown pursuant to The Family Relations Act. As well, the money in a prescribed RRIF could be subject to attachment for purposes of enforcing a maintenance order pursuant to The Enforcement of Maintenance Orders Act. Do I ever have to purchase a life annuity? No, you do not have to purchase a life annuity. Is my Prescribed RRIF guaranteed or protected from loss? Your prescribed RRIF is not insured or guaranteed by the Government of. Your pension income could suffer from poor investment performance. Some of the products in which you are invested might be guaranteed. For example, deposits at banks, trust companies and credit unions are backed by insurance schemes. I m comfortable with my LIRA investments, but want to start a Prescribed RRIF. How can I keep my investments? Subject to the provisions of your prescribed RRIF contract, you may be able to transfer identifiable and transferable securities, either into or out of a prescribed RRIF. This would permit you to continue a particular investment strategy you have adopted in investing your LIRA assets without having to dispose of and repurchase the securities. Can I transfer my money from one Prescribed RRIF to another Prescribed RRIF? Yes, however, before the transfer takes place, the minimum annual withdrawal amount required under the Income Tax Act must be taken. Money that originated from a registered pension plan (locked-in) must be kept separate from ordinary RRIF money that accumulated as a result of personal savings. Can I roll over my annual withdrawal to an RRSP or RRIF? No, the prescribed RRIF has certain characteristics such as protection of spouses that make it different from an ordinary RRSP or RRIF. Do I receive my income monthly or in a lump sum at the start of the year? The frequency of payments is a matter between you and your financial institution. Are Prescribed RRIF payments eligible for the pension tax credit? Payments from a RRIF to a person age 65 and older are eligible for the pension tax credit. However, if you are under age 65, you will not be able to claim your RRIF payments.
