Factors to be Considered by Fiduciaries The selection of an annuity provider for purposes of a pension benefit distribution is a fiduciary decision governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 974 (ERISA). The Department of Labor issued Interpretive Bulletin 95- (IB 95-), as amended, to provide guidance in the selection of an annuity provider. The content herein provides information from Pacific Life to respond to the criteria of IB 95-. In accordance with IB 95-, plan fiduciaries must conduct an objective, thorough, and analytical search for purposes of identifying providers from which to purchase annuities. The bulletin sets forth factors that should be considered by fiduciaries in evaluating a provider s claims-paying ability and creditworthiness, including but not limited to the following: The quality and diversification of the annuity provider s investment portfolio 2 The size of the insurer relative to the proposed contract 3 The level of the insurer s capital and surplus 4 The lines of business of the annuity provider and other indications of an insurer s exposure to liability 5 The structure of the annuity contract and guarantees supporting the annuiy, such as the use of separate accounts Pacific Life is a highly rated and well-diversified insurance company, and an experienced and innovative annuity provider. 2509.95-2509.95- consultant use only.

The Structure of the Annuity Contract and Guarantee Behind the Annuity The structure of the annuity contract should be examined by a fiduciary to understand the guarantee supporting the annuity. The general account is supported by the creditworthiness of the company s general account. A separate account can further secure the assets by using a portfolio of separate account assets insulated from the claims of other policyholders and creditors of the insurer. Any shortfall in the separate account is supported by the general account assets. Pacific Transferred Buy-Out Completely transfer all pension risk and benefit liability from the plan sponsor to Pacific Life on either a partial (a portion of plan participants) or full (complete termination) basis. Pacific Secured Buy-In Transfer the risk of investment performance, mortality, and plan experience from the plan sponsor to Pacific Life. The contract remains an asset of the plan and thus it does not reduce the plan s funded status or trigger settlement accounting like a buy-out. A buy-in contract can be converted to a Pacific Transferred Buy-Out contract at any time with no additional charges. For institutional plan sponsor/financial
