  2. The General ConceptAdjustable Pension Plan (APP) 100% employer Shared risk 100% employee Traditional DB Traditional DC (eg 401k) APP • Like a DB Plan • Employers’ bear mortality risk, pooling reduces overall risk • Monies pooled and managed professionally - no individual accounts • Unlike a DB Plan • Investment performance/risk is shared • Investment assumptions and strategy far less risky • At retirement APP pension will be locked up

  3. The General Concept The APP is the Greater of Two Benefits • Floor Defined Benefit • Adjustable Benefit • The Adjustable Benefit Depends Upon Actual Investment Performance • If Above Floor Rate, the Benefit Increases • If Below Floor Rate, the Benefit Reduces 2

  4. Step 1: Determine the Floor Benefit Accrual Determine a contribution level (assume it’s $1/hour) Actuary calculates floor accrual based on: Demographics A floor investment rate – 5.0% Actuarially determined floor benefit is $600 per year of service After 20 years of service, the projected pension at 65 is $12,000; with 30 years, $18,000; 40 years, $24,000

  5. Step 2: Determine the Adjustable Benefit Benefit is annually measured as number of units times unit value Unit values start at $10, thereafter varies with investment returns Units earned each year = floor accrual ÷ unit value, or $600 ÷ $10 =60 units in the first year Units accumulate each year thereafter
