1 August 22, 2014 IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR FOREIGN ADDRESS PARTICIPANTS IN THE VILLANOVA UNIVERSITY 403(b) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN Starting October 15, 2014, Villanova University will make several changes to the Villanova University 403(b) Retirement Savings Plan. These changes are described below. IMPORTANT! According to our records, you do not have a United States mailing address on file. As a result, TIAA-CREF may be restricted from processing certain mutual fund transactions on your behalf. If you have a legitimate U.S. mailing address, including an address in Puerto Rico or the Virgin Islands, or an Army Post Office (APO), Diplomatic Post Office (DPO) or Fleet Post Office (FPO) box, the following restrictions may be lifted. Please contact TIAA-CREF for assistance. About foreign address restrictions TIAA-CREF is generally restricted from processing mutual fund transactions for plan participants who reside outside of the United States and don t have a legitimate U.S. address. These transactions include purchases, rollovers and transfers of mutual funds. Starting, October 15, 2014, your rollovers, current asset transfers and any future contributions to mutual funds will not be processed by TIAA-CREF. Your options for these types of transactions on the TIAA-CREF platform will be limited to the TIAA-CREF group annuity options available under your plan on the new investment menu. If your asset allocation on file is currently directed to a mutual fund(s), your contributions will be redirected to the default option established under your plan by Villanova University. Upcoming changes to the Villanova University 403(b) Retirement Savings Plan include: A single point of contact: Starting October 15, 2014, TIAA-CREF will provide all services for the 403(b) Retirement Savings Plan. As a result of this change, Vanguard will no longer be an active provider for the plan; however, Vanguard mutual funds will remain available as part of transfer strategy. Your current assets and future contributions will be directed to TIAA-CREF. New investment options: Several investment choices will be restricted from the investment menu and replaced with new options. To understand how your current assets and/or future contributions will transfer, see the charts on the following pages. Participants with a foreign mailing address will be limited to annuity investment options. New contracts: New Retirement Choice (RC) annuity contracts will be issued for future contributions.

You should be aware that there are some features of the Retirement Choice contracts that differ from your existing contracts (such as liquidity, interest rates and other considerations).
