  2. Federal law403(b) tax-sheltered annuities (TSAs) • For employees of public education institutions, colleges, hospitals, and nonprofit organizations • Defer income taxes on your earnings • Encourage long-term savings for retirement

  3. Federal lawOther tax-deferred retirement vehicles • Traditional and Roth individual retirement accounts (IRAs) • $5,000 maximum contribution for those under age 50 • $6,000 maximum contribution for those age 50 or older • Other employers’ tax-deferred retirement plans

  4. Federal lawOther tax-deferred retirement vehicles • 457(b) employee deferred compensation (EDC) plans • Opportunity for double deferral — 403(b) TSA and 457(b) EDC

  5. Why a 403(b) TSA?Three reasons • Tax deferral • Automatic savings through payroll deduction • Supplement your retirement income

  6. Why a 403(b) TSA?Reason #1: tax deferral • Defer taxes on contributions* • Tax-deferred growth potential • For 2012 • Contribute up to $17,000 of compensation(or 100% of your compensation, if less) • Two catch-up contributions available • Age 50 or older — $5,500 • 15 years of service (or more) — special rules apply** • Contribution limits may be raised each year, based on cost-of-living index * Withdrawals are subject to normal income tax treatment and if taken prior to age 59 ½, may be subject to an additional 10% federal income tax penalty. ** If available under your employer’s plan.

  7. Why a 403(b) TSA? Reason #1: tax deferral — in each paycheck Contribute $1,000 per month to your 403(b) TSA… $1,000 403(b) TSA pre-tax contribution - $280 Tax “saved” (assumes 28% tax bracket) $720 Net deduction per month $360 $360 Amount deducted per pay period (assuming a semi-monthly pay cycle) Note: This hypothetical example does not take into account any state, local, or FICA taxes, or other payroll deductions.

  8. Why a 403(b) TSA? Reason #1: tax deferral — ongoing tax advantage Contribute $6,000 per year and after 30 years… This hypothetical example assumes a $6,000 contribution per year for 30 years and a 6% return per year. The account value shown at left (which is taxed annually) assumes the contribution and interest are taxed annually using the 28% federal tax bracket. This example does not account for any state, local, FICA taxes, product fees or charges. If these taxes and fees were considered, the values would be lower. Lower maximum tax rates on capital gains and dividends could make the return of the taxable investment more favorable, thereby reducing the difference in performance between the accounts shown. The tax deferred account value example shown at right assumes that the full account value is withdrawn and fully taxed in the 30th year. Withdrawals of earnings from the tax deferred account will be subject to ordinary income taxes and if taken prior to age 59 1/2, may also be subject to a 10% federal tax penalty.

  9. Why a 403(b) TSA? Reason #1 (continued): Roth 403(b) contributions • Roth 403(b) contributions made with after-tax dollars • Tax-free growth potential • Earnings distributed tax free if certain conditions are met • 403(b) plan contribution limits apply to the combined total of pre-tax and Roth after-tax contributions

  10. Why a 403(b) TSA? Reason #2: payroll deductions — a relatively easy way to save • Convenient • Built-in discipline • Keeps saving for retirement a priority • Immediate tax deferral

  14. ProductEQUI-VEST® Annuities are long-term financial products designed for retirement purposes. In essence, annuities are contractual agreements in which payments are made to an insurance company, which agrees to pay out an income or a lump sum amount at a later date. There are contract limitations and fees and charges associated with annuities, which include, but are not limited to, mortality and expense risk charges, sales and surrender charges, and administrative fees. Amounts in a variable annuity’s investment portfolios are subject to fluctuation in value and market risk, including loss of principal. A financial professional can provide cost information and complete details. • Outstanding variable deferred annuity product — EQUI-VEST®

  15. ProductEQUI-VEST® Personal Income BenefitSM Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefits for Life •  Lifetime payments—once withdrawals start, they continue for as long as you (or you and your spouse) live • Income Protection—the amount of your withdrawals will never decrease • Market Growth Potential—investment earnings can increase the withdrawal amount • The Personal Income Benefit is an optional feature • Available to participants between the ages 45 and 85

  16. Product (continued)EQUI-VEST® Please consider the charges, risks, expenses, and investment objectives carefully before purchasing a variable annuity. For a prospectus containing this and other information, please contact a financial professional. Read it carefully before you invest or send money. EQUI-VEST® is a variable deferred annuity that can be used to fund a 403(b) plan. Since 403(b) plans are tax deferred, annuities used to fund 403(b) plans do not offer any extra tax benefits. If you are buying an EQUI-VEST® variable deferred annuity to fund a 403(b) plan, you should do so for its features and benefits other than tax deferral. You should consider how these features and benefits—and the EQUI-VEST® annuity’s costs and risks—compare to other options available through your employer’s 403(b) plan.
