Dear Shareholder:

We cordially invite you to attend a special meeting of shareholders (the “Shareholder Meeting”) of each of the T. Rowe Price Target Retirement Funds listed above (the “Funds”), which are separate series of T. Rowe Price Retirement Funds, Inc. (the “Corporation”), on Tuesday, October 20, 2015, at 8:00 a.m., Eastern time, at the to be held at the Four Seasons Hotel Baltimore, 200 International Drive, Baltimore, Maryland 21202. The following matters will be considered and acted upon at that time:

1. A proposal to approve an amendment to the investment management agreement of each Fund to change the expense structure of the Fund; and

2. To transact such other business as may properly come before the Shareholder Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof.

As a shareholder of record as of the close of business on August 4, 2015, you are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Shareholder Meeting. We realize that it may be difficult for you to attend the Shareholder Meeting and vote your shares in person. However, we do need your vote. You can vote by mail, by telephone, or by Internet, as explained in the enclosed materials. By voting promptly, you can help the Funds avoid the expense of additional mailings.

It is proposed that the Funds no longer pass through certain expenses to the underlying funds in which they invest. Under the proposal, the Funds would bear their own operating expenses; however, there would be a contractual expense limitation implemented for each Fund to ensure that its total expense


ratio resulting from the change is equal to or less than its current total expense ratio. The contractual expense ratio limitation would be effective until at least September 30, 2018, and may be extended with the approval of the Funds’ Board beyond that date. This change to the expense structure would accommodate the addition of a new share class—the I Class—which would be designed for institutional and other larger investors and has overall lower shareholder servicing costs. To date, the Funds have been relatively slow to achieve scale and the addition of the I Class could attract larger and more diverse investors to help the Funds grow in the future. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE FUNDS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE PROPOSAL.

If you have questions, please call one of our service representatives at
1-800-541-5910. Your participation in this vote is extremely important.

Sincerely,

Edward C. Bernard
Chairman of the Board

PROPOSAL — Amendment of Each Fund’s Investment Management Agreement

The Target Retirement Funds are funds-of-funds that currently invest in the Investor Class of other mutual funds (the “underlying Price Funds”) managed by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc., the Funds’ investment adviser (“T. Rowe Price” or the “Advisor”) and its affiliated investment advisers. The Funds do not pay any investment management fee to T. Rowe Price. The Funds currently operate under an exemptive order issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that permits the Funds to pass on their direct operating expenses (“Operating Expenses”) to the underlying Price Funds in which they have invested, and the underlying Price Funds to bear their allocable share of the Funds’ Operating Expenses. These Operating Expenses borne by the underlying Price Funds, together with the underlying Price Funds’ own expenses, are then indirectly borne by the Funds as acquired fund fees and expenses.

The current Investment Management Agreements (the “Current Management Agreements”) of the Funds govern how Fund expenses are allocated among T. Rowe Price, the Funds, and the underlying Price Funds. In particular, the Current Management Agreements require that all Fund expenses be paid pursuant to a Special Servicing Agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”) among T. Rowe Price, the Funds, and the underlying Price Funds. Under the Servicing Agreement, each underlying Price Fund in which a Fund invests bears its proportionate share of the Operating Expenses of that Fund if, and to the extent that, the underlying Price Fund’s estimated savings from the operation of the Fund exceed these expenses. In the event that the costs to the underlying Price Funds from bearing their allocable share of Operating Expenses exceed the benefits of this arrangement, then T. Rowe Price is responsible for bearing any expenses of each Fund that exceed the estimated savings to each of the underlying Price Funds. As a result, the Funds do not pay an investment management fee and effectively pay no direct Operating Expenses at the Fund level, although shareholders of the Funds still indirectly bear their proportionate share of the expenses of each underlying Price Fund in which the Funds invest.

The Funds currently offer two share classes: Investor Class and Advisor Class. To accommodate a larger and more diverse shareholder base, the Funds seek to offer an I Share Class (the “I Class”). The I Class is intended to have lower shareholder servicing costs than the Investor and Advisor Classes and is designed primarily for institutional and other large direct investors. The new I Class will have a contractual expense limitation so that it will be subject to 0.05% or less of shareholder servicing and other operating expenses (the “I Class expenses”), and will make administrative fee payments to intermediaries or charge Rule 12b-1 fees. As a result of their current expense

PAGE 5


structure, however, the Funds are unable to offer an I Class with lower operating expenses because the indirect expenses that would be borne by the I Class shareholders (i.e., combined operating expenses of a Fund’s I Class and of the Investor Class of underlying Price Funds) through the arrangement under the Servicing Agreement would exceed the proposed I Class expenses. The Target Retirement Funds, therefore, would need to invest in the I Class of the underlying Price Funds, which have lower total expense ratios than the Investor Class of the underlying Price Funds, to be able to offer their own I Class shares.

Rather than create an entirely new suite of Target Retirement Funds that offer I Class shares and invest in the I Class of the underlying Price Funds, the Advisor proposed, and the Board approved, a change in the Funds’ current expense structure in order to add the I Class to the existing Funds and to allow the Funds to invest in the I Class of the underlying Price Funds. To accomplish this, the proposal seeks to amend each Fund’s Current Management Agreement (each, a “New Management Agreement,” and together with the Current Management Agreement, the “Agreements”) to eliminate Section 2.C which requires that the Funds enter into the Servicing Agreements (the “Proposal”). Aside from the elimination of Section 2.C. and any references to the Servicing Agreement from the Current Management Agreements, the Current Management Agreements and the New Management Agreements will be identical. Accordingly, the elimination of Section 2.C will not affect the nature, quality or the extent of services furnished to the Funds by T. Rowe Price, and all other features of the Target Retirement Funds would remain the same, including the fact that no management fee will be charged to the Funds.

If approved, the Target Retirement Funds would begin investing in the I Class of the underlying Price Funds. As part of the proposed change, there would no longer be an allocation of the Fund’s Operating Expenses to the underlying Price Funds and the Target Retirement Funds and their share classes would bear their own operating expenses as well as acquired fund fees and expenses. The future addition of an I Class to the Funds should attract larger and more diverse investors and help the Funds to grow at more rapid rate in the future. In the meantime, to insulate the Funds’ shareholders from any impact from the change to the expense structure, the Advisor will implement a contractual expense ratio limitation for each Fund and its share classes so that the total expense ratio of each is lower than or equal to its current expense ratio. The contractual expense ratio limitation is effective until at least September 30, 2018, and may be extended with the approval of the Funds’ Board beyond that date. The current and estimated new total expense ratio of each Fund is set forth in Exhibit A. The tables in Exhibit A compare (i) the total annual operating expense ratios, which are reported to the nearest one hundredth of one percent, of each Fund as reflected in the Fund’s audited financial

PAGE 6


statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015, and (ii) pro forma estimates of the Fund’s total annual operating expense ratios assuming that the New Management Agreement and expense limitation agreement had been in place for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015. Exhibit A includes the same form of annual fund operating expense tables that shareholders will find in their prospectus and have been developed in accordance with the SEC requirements for presenting fee table information.

T. Rowe Price and the Fund’s Board believe that modifying the current expense structure instead of creating a new suite of Target Retirement Funds will benefit the Funds’ shareholders in the long-term. The Funds have been relatively slow to achieve scale and the I Class should help to maintain existing assets while attracting new and more diverse shareholders. Existing Fund shareholders who are eligible for the I Class would be able to convert their shares into the new I Class with no tax consequences, which would not be possible with an entirely new suite of Target Retirement Funds. The change would also more easily accommodate the Funds moving their investments from Investor Class underlying Price Funds to I Class underlying Price Funds, which carry lower expense ratios that should result in lower acquired fund fees and expenses to be borne by the Funds and their share classes. To ensure that existing shareholders of the Funds’ Investor and Advisor Classes are not adversely impacted by eliminating the pass-through of expenses to the underlying Price Funds, the Advisor has agreed to put in place contractual expense limitations (which will be effective until at least September 30, 2018, and may be extended with the approval of the Funds’ Board beyond that date) at a level equal to or less than the current total expense ratio for each Fund and Class. Although the arrangement is a contractual obligation of the Funds’ Advisor, each expense limitation can only be later terminated by approval of the Board.

What vote is required to approve this amendment to each Current Management Agreement?

The affirmative vote of a majority (as described below) of a Fund’s outstanding shares is needed to approve an amendment to a Current Management Agreement. The majority of a Fund’s outstanding shares means the affirmative vote of the lesser of: (a) 67% or more of a Fund’s shares represented at the Meeting if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares are present in person or by proxy or (b) more than 50% of a Fund’s outstanding shares. Shareholders of all classes of each Fund vote together on the proposal affecting that Fund. If the proposed amendment to a Fund’s Current Management Agreement is approved by shareholders, the amendment is expected to become effective on or about December 1, 2015. A supplement to each Fund’s prospectus or summary prospectus will be delivered to shareholders to notify them of the change. The Board, including the

PAGE 7


Corporation’s independent directors, recommends that each Fund’s shareholders vote FOR the proposal. If the Proposal is not approved with respect to any Fund, the Current Management Agreement and Servicing Agreement will remain in effect for all of the Target Retirement Funds and the Funds will not offer I Class shares or invest in the I Class of the underlying Price Funds.

What are the material terms of the Current Management Agreement and New Management Agreement and how do the Agreements compare?

Below is a description of the material terms of the Agreements. The form of the New Management Agreement is attached as Exhibit B to this Proxy Statement. (Exhibit C contains a form of expense limitation agreement; shareholders are not being asked to approve the expense limitation agreement but is provided for informational purposes.) As stated above, the only material term that differs between the Agreements is the elimination of Section 2.C which requires that the Funds enter into a Servicing Agreement.

Under the Agreements, T. Rowe Price is responsible for supervising and overseeing investments of a Fund in accordance with the Fund’s investment objectives, programs, and restrictions as provided in the Fund’s prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. In addition, T. Rowe Price provides each Fund with certain corporate administrative services, including: maintaining the Fund’s corporate existence and corporate records; registering and qualifying Fund shares under federal laws; monitoring the financial, accounting, and administrative functions of the Fund; maintaining liaison with the agents employed by the Fund such as the Fund’s custodian and transfer agent; assisting the Fund in the coordination of such agent’s activities; and permitting employees of the Advisor to serve as officers, directors, and committee members of the Fund without cost to the Fund. T. Rowe Price is responsible for making discretionary investment decisions on behalf of the Fund and is generally responsible for effecting all security transactions, including the negotiation of commissions and the allocation of principal business and portfolio brokerage (if applicable).

The Agreements also provide that T. Rowe Price, and its directors, officers, employees, and certain other persons performing specific functions for a Fund, will be liable to the Fund only for losses resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of duty. Under the Agreements, the Advisor is permitted to utilize the services or facilities of others to provide them or a Fund with statistical and other factual information, advice regarding economic factors and trends, advice as to occasional transactions in specific securities, and such other information, advice, or assistance as the Advisor may deem necessary, appropriate, or

PAGE 8


convenient for the discharge of their obligations under the Agreements or otherwise helpful to the Corporation or a Fund.

What factors did the Board consider in approving the Agreements?

On March 13, 2015, the Board, including a majority of the Corporation’s independent directors, approved the continuation of the Current Management Agreements between the Corporation, on behalf of the Funds, and the Advisor, as well as the Servicing Agreements among the Corporation, the Advisor, and each of the underlying Price Funds in which the Funds invest. In connection with its deliberations, the Board requested, and the Advisor provided, such information as the Board (with advice from independent legal counsel) deemed reasonably necessary. The Board considered a variety of factors in connection with its review of the Current Management Agreements and Servicing Agreements, also taking into account information provided by the Advisor during the course of the year, as discussed below:

Services Provided by the Advisor

The Board considered the nature, quality, and extent of the services provided to the Funds by the Advisor. These services included, but were not limited to, directing the Funds’ investments in accordance with their investment programs and the overall management of the Funds’ portfolios, as well as a variety of related activities such as financial, investment operations, and administrative services; compliance; maintaining the Funds’ records and registrations; and shareholder communications. The Board also reviewed the background and experience of the Advisor’s senior management team and investment personnel involved in the management of the Funds, as well as the Advisor’s compliance record. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, quality, and extent of the services provided by the Advisor.

The Board reviewed the Funds’ three-month, one-year, and since-inception returns, and compared these returns with a wide variety of previously agreed-upon comparable performance measures and market data, including those supplied by Lipper and Morningstar, which are independent providers of mutual fund data.

On the basis of this evaluation and the Funds’ relatively limited operating history, the Board concluded that the Funds’ performance was satisfactory.

Costs, Benefits, Profits, and Economies of Scale

The Advisor does not receive fees from the Funds, and expenses of the Funds are currently borne by the underlying Price Funds in which they invest pursuant to the Servicing Agreements. In connection with its review of the Servicing Agreements, the Board reviewed various cost/benefit analyses to demonstrate the benefits to the underlying Price Funds versus the costs they incur, which illustrate the primary benefit provided by the Target Retirement Funds to the underlying Price Funds is the reduction in expenses associated with the consolidation of shareholder accounts that would otherwise be invested directly in the underlying Price Funds.

PAGE 11


The Advisor receives management fees from other T. Rowe Price funds in which the Funds invest, but it does not receive any management fees directly from the Funds. Accordingly, the Board did not review information relating to revenues received by the Advisor under the Current Management Agreements. The Board did review information regarding benefits that the Advisor (and its affiliates) may have realized from its relationship with the Funds or underlying Price Funds in which the Funds invest, including any research received under “soft dollar” agreements and commission-sharing arrangements with broker-dealers. The Board considered that the Advisor may receive some benefit from its soft-dollar arrangements pursuant to which it receives research from broker-dealers that execute the applicable Funds’ portfolio transactions. The Board also received information on the estimated costs incurred and profits realized by the Advisor and its affiliates from advising T. Rowe Price mutual funds and concluded that the Advisor’s profits were reasonable. Because the Advisor does not receive fees from the Funds, the Board did not consider whether the Funds or other funds benefit under the fee levels set forth in the Current Management Agreements from any economies of scale realized by the Advisor. Because the Advisor does not receive a management fee from the Funds and the Funds do not have an explicit expense ratio, the Board did not review fees and expenses of other comparable funds or of institutional accounts of the Advisor and its affiliates, although the Board did review such fees and expenses with respect to the underlying Price Funds.

Approval of the Current Management Agreements and Servicing Agreements

As noted, the Board approved the continuation of the Current Management Agreements as well as the Servicing Agreements. No single factor was considered in isolation or to be determinative to the decision. Rather, the Board concluded, in light of a weighting and balancing of all factors considered and the Funds’ limited operating history, that it was in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders for the Board to approve the continuation of the Current Management Agreements and that there is a reasonable basis to conclude that the benefits to the underlying Price Funds exceed the costs they incur and that it was in the best interests of the Funds and their underlying Price Funds to approve continuation of the Servicing Agreement. The independent directors were advised throughout the process by independent legal counsel.

Approval of the New Management Agreements

On July 27, 2015, the Board, including a majority of the Corporation’s independent directors, approved the New Management Agreements between the Corporation, on behalf of the Funds, and the Advisor. In connection with its deliberations, the Board requested, and the Advisor provided, such information as the Board (with advice from independent legal counsel) deemed reasonably necessary. The Board noted that it had recently approved the Current Management Agreements at the March 13, 2015 Meeting, and

PAGE 12


that the New Management Agreements were identical to the Current Management Agreements, except with respect to the provision relating to Fund Operating Expenses being borne under the Servicing Agreements. The Board considered a variety of factors in connection with its review of the New Management Agreements and noted that there should be no changes to the nature or quality of the services that the Advisor provides to the Funds as a result of the changes. The Board concluded that it was in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders for the Board to approve the New Management Agreements, including the elimination of the Servicing Agreement and the resulting change to the Funds’ fee structure.

FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUT VOTING AND THE SHAREHOLDER MEETING

What is the required quorum?

To hold a shareholders’ meeting for the Funds, one-third of a Fund’s shares entitled to be voted must have been received by proxy or be present in person at the meeting. In the event that a quorum is present but sufficient votes in favor of a proposal are not received by the Meeting date, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments to permit further solicitation of proxies. Any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy at the Meeting to be adjourned. Shares voted against a proposal will be voted against the proposed adjournment. The persons named as proxies will vote in favor of such adjournment if they determine that additional solicitation is reasonable and in the interests of a Fund’s shareholders.

How are the votes counted?

The individuals named as proxies (or their substitutes) on the enclosed proxy card (or cards, if you have multiple accounts) will vote according to your directions if your proxy is received properly executed, or in accordance with your instructions given when voting by telephone or Internet. You may direct the proxy holders to vote your shares on the Proposal by choosing FOR or AGAINST or ABSTAIN. Alternatively, you may simply sign, date, and return your proxy card(s) with no specific instructions as to the Proposal. If you properly execute your proxy card, or submit your vote via the telephone or Internet, and give no voting instructions, your shares will be voted FOR the Proposal.

Abstentions and “broker nonvotes” (as defined below) are counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present for purposes of convening the Meeting. Broker nonvotes are shares held by a broker or nominee for which an executed proxy is received by a Fund but are not voted as to one or more proposals because instructions have not been received from

PAGE 13


the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote, and the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power. Because the Proposal must be approved by a percentage of voting securities present at the Meeting or a majority of a Fund’s outstanding shares, abstentions and broker nonvotes will be considered to be voting securities that are present and will have the effect of being counted as votes against the Proposal.

For shares of a Fund held in an Individual Retirement Account or Education Savings Account that is sponsored by T. Rowe Price Trust Company and for which T. Rowe Price Trust Company serves as custodian, T. Rowe Price Trust Company shall, without written direction from the investor, vote shares for which no voting instructions are timely received in the same proportion as shares for which voting instructions from other shareholders are timely received.

Can additional matters be acted upon at the Meeting?

The management of the Funds knows of no other business that may come before the Meeting. However, if any additional matters are properly presented at the Meeting, it is intended that the persons named in the enclosed proxy, or their substitutes, will vote on such matters in accordance with their judgment.

Is the Corporation required to hold annual meetings?

Under Maryland law, the Corporation is not required to hold an annual meeting of shareholders. The Board has determined that the Corporation will take advantage of this Maryland law provision to avoid the significant expenses associated with holding an annual meeting of shareholders, including legal, accounting, printing, and mailing fees incurred in preparing proxy materials. Accordingly, no annual meeting of shareholders shall be held in any year in which a meeting is not otherwise required to be held under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) or Maryland law, unless the Board determines otherwise. However, special meetings of shareholders will be held in accordance with applicable law or when otherwise determined by the Board.

If a shareholder wishes to present a proposal to be included in a proxy statement for a subsequent shareholder meeting, the proposal must be submitted in writing and received by Patricia B. Lippert, Secretary of the T. Rowe Price Funds, 100 East Pratt Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202, within a reasonable time before a Fund begins to print and mail its proxy materials. The timely submission of a proposal does not guarantee its consideration at the meeting.

PAGE 14


How are proxies delivered and votes recorded?

This Proxy Statement was mailed along with a proxy voting card and prepaid envelope. You may record your votes on the enclosed proxy card and mail it in the accompanying prepaid envelope to Proxy Tabulator, P.O. Box 55909, Boston, Massachusetts 02205-9100. Any mailed proxies sent to this address will be delivered to Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (“BFDS”), which T. Rowe Price has retained to tabulate the votes. In addition, the Funds have arranged through BFDS to have votes recorded through the Internet or by telephone. The telephone and Internet voting procedures are designed to authenticate shareholders’ identities, to allow shareholders to authorize the voting of their shares in accordance with their instructions, and to confirm that their instructions have been properly recorded.

The SEC has adopted rules that permit investment companies, such as the Funds, and intermediaries to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those shareholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” could result in extra convenience and cost savings for a Fund and its shareholders. Unless a Fund has received contrary instructions, only one copy of this Proxy Statement will be mailed to two or more shareholders who share an address. If you need additional copies or do not want your mailings to be “householded,” please call 1-800-225-5132 or write us at P.O. Box 17630, Baltimore, Maryland 21297-1630.

How can proxies be solicited, and who pays for the costs involved with the proxy?

Directors, officers, or employees of a Fund or T. Rowe Price (and its affiliates) may solicit proxies by mail, in person, or by telephone. In the event that votes are solicited by telephone, shareholders would be called at the telephone number T. Rowe Price has in its records for their accounts, and would be asked for their Social Security number or other identifying information. The shareholders would then be given an opportunity to authorize proxies to vote their shares at the Meeting in accordance with their instructions. To ensure that shareholders’ instructions have been recorded correctly, confirmation of the instructions is also mailed and a special toll-free number provided in case the information contained in the confirmation is incorrect.

To help ensure that sufficient shares of common stock are represented at the Meeting to permit approval of the Proposal outlined in this Proxy Statement, T. Rowe Price has retained BFDS to manage the Funds’ overall proxy campaign and to potentially assist in soliciting proxies. It is not expected that the Funds will require the use of BFDS for solicitation. For managing the Funds’ overall proxy campaign, BFDS will receive a fee plus reimbursement

PAGE 15


for out-of-pocket expenses. BFDS will also receive fees in connection with printing, preparing, assembling, mailing, and transmitting proxy materials on behalf of the Funds, tabulating those votes that are received, and any solicitation of additional votes. The estimated costs to be paid to BFDS are approximately $11,000. In addition, securities brokers, custodians, fiduciaries, and other persons holding shares as nominees will be reimbursed, upon request, for their reasonable expenses in sending solicitation materials to the principals of the accounts. All costs of the Meeting and the proxy campaign, including the use of BFDS, will be paid for by T. Rowe Price and not by the Funds.

Can I change my vote after I mail my proxy?

Any proxy, including those given via the Internet or by telephone, may be revoked at any time before the votes have been submitted for tabulation at the Meeting by filing a written notice of revocation with a Fund, by delivering a properly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by attending the Meeting and voting in person. If you vote via telephone or Internet, you can change your vote up until 7:59 a.m. on October 20, 2015.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUNDS

Who are the other service providers to the Funds?

T. Rowe Price Investment Services, Inc. (“Investment Services”) is the principal underwriter and distributor of the Funds. The Funds also have an accounting services agreement with T. Rowe Price. The principal offices of Investment Services and T. Rowe Price are located at 100 East Pratt Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202. Investment Services is a wholly owned subsidiary of T. Rowe Price. For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015, the Funds did not directly make any payments to Investment Services for distribution services or to T. Rowe Price for accounting services. The Funds’ current expense structure provides that the costs of distribution and accounting services are passed through to the underlying Price Funds.

The Funds have transfer agency agreements with T. Rowe Price Services, Inc. (“Price Services”) and T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc. (“RPS”). Their principal offices are located at 4515 Painters Mill Road, Owings Mills, Maryland 21117. Both Price Services and RPS are also wholly owned subsidiaries of T. Rowe Price. For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015, the Funds did not directly make any payments to Price Services or to RPS for transfer agency services. The Funds’ current expense structure provides that the costs of transfer agency services are passed through to the underlying Price Funds.

PAGE 16


Each of these services will continue to be provided to the Funds after the New Management Agreements are approved by the Funds’ shareholders. However, the new expense structure will provide that the Funds bear their own operating expenses, which will result in direct payments to Investment Services, T. Rowe Price, Price Services, and/or RPS.

For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015, the Funds did not pay any commissions to affiliated broker-dealers.

EXHIBIT A

Comparison of Total Annual Operating Expenses

The Fees and Expenses Tables below describe the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy and hold shares of a Fund. The Fees and Expenses Table compares (i) the total annual operating expenses of a Fund as reflected in the Fund’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015, and (ii) pro forma estimates of a Fund’s total annual operating expenses assuming that the New Management Agreement (and expense limitation agreement) had been in place for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015.

Pro forma expenses should not be considered an actual representation of future expenses. Such pro forma expense levels project anticipated levels but actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.

The following fee tables provide fee and expense information first for the Funds’ Investor Class and then for the Funds’ Advisor Class. Within the tables, you will find information for each Fund (based on audited financial information as of May 31, 2015 and consistent with what is expected to appear in the Fund’s October 1, 2015 prospectus) followed by pro forma information for the Fund (based on the Fund bearing its own operating expenses, assuming acquired fund fees and expenses resulting from underlying investments in I Class funds instead of Investor Class funds, and implementation of the Fund’s contractual expense limitation). If the proposal is approved by shareholders, the applicable expense limitation that will apply to each Fund can be found in the “Total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver/expense reimbursement” column. Please note that, subject to certain exceptions, Investor Class shares may impose a maximum annual account fee of $20 for accounts with a balance of less than $10,000. There are no shareholder fees applicable to the fee table shown for the Funds’ Advisor Class shares.

Following the fee tables are tables that estimate the costs of a $10,000 investment, first for the Funds’ Investor Class and then for the Funds’ Advisor Class. The pro forma figures assume the same expenses as those shown in the fee table, with the contractual expense limitation beginning on December 1, 2015 and expiring on September 30, 2018.

* While the fund itself charges no management fee, it will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the expenses of the underlying T. Rowe Price funds in which it invests (acquired funds). The acquired funds are expected to bear the operating expenses of the fund.

** T. Rowe Price has agreed (through September 30, 2018) to bear any operating expenses (excluding interest; expenses related to borrowings, taxes and brokerage; extraordinary expenses; and acquired fund fees) that would cause the fund’s ratio of expenses to average daily net assets to exceed the figure shown. Termination of the agreement would require approval by the fund’s Board of Directors. Any expenses paid under this agreement are subject to reimbursement to T. Rowe Price by the fund whenever the fund’s total expense ratio is below the figure shown. However, no reimbursement will be made more than three years after the payment, or if it would result in the total expense ratio exceeding the current limitation.

EXHIBIT C

EXPENSE LIMITATION AGREEMENT

 This EXPENSE LIMITATION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), effective as of December 1, 2015, is entered into between T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (the “Manager”), a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Maryland, and T. Rowe Price Retirement Funds, Inc. (the “Corporation”), a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Maryland, on behalf of the T. Rowe Price Target Retirement 20XX Fund (the “Fund”).

 WHEREAS, the Manager is an investment adviser registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended;

 WHEREAS, the Fund is a series of the Corporation and is an open-end management investment company registered as such with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”);

 WHEREAS, the Corporation’s Board of Directors has already authorized the issuance of two classes of shares of the Fund: Investor Class (the “Investor Class”) and Advisor Class (the “Advisor Class”);

 WHEREAS, effective April 24, 2013, the Corporation and Manager initially entered into an Investment Management Agreement on behalf of the Fund (the “Original Management Agreement”), under which the Fund passed on its direct operating expenses to the underlying funds in which it invests;

 WHEREAS, effective December 1, 2015, the Corporation and Manager entered into an Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement on behalf of the Fund (the “Restated Management Agreement”), under which the Fund bears the costs of its operating expenses (with certain exceptions);

 WHEREAS, in light of each Class now operating in accordance with the Restated Management Agreement and in an effort to keep the total expense ratio of each Class equal to or lower than the total expense ratio calculated while the Fund was operating in accordance with the Original Management Agreement, the Corporation’s Board of Directors has determined that it is in the best interests of the Fund and each Class to enter into this Agreement; and

 NOW, THEREFORE, the Manager and the Corporation, on behalf of the Fund, hereby agree as follows:

PAGE 40


1. Investor Class Expense Limitation.

The Manager agrees to waive or pay any of the Investor Class’ operating expenses, excluding interest; expenses related to borrowings, taxes, and brokerage; nonrecurring, extraordinary expenses; and acquired fund fees and expenses (collectively, “Investor Class Expenses”), or reimburse the Investor Class for Investor Class Expenses, to the extent Investor Class Expenses exceed 0.XX%, on an annualized basis, of the Investor Class’ average daily net assets (hereinafter referred as the “Investor Class Limitation”). Any Investor Class Expenses waived or paid by the Manager pursuant to the Investor Class Limitation are subject to reimbursement to the Manager by the Fund or Investor Class whenever the Investor Class Expenses are below 0.XX%. However, no reimbursement will be made more than three years after the waiver or payment of Investor Class Expenses by the Manager or if such reimbursement would result in the Fund’s Investor Class Expenses exceeding 0.XX%.

2. Advisor Class Expense Limitation.

(b) The Manager agrees to waive or pay any of the Advisor Class’ operating expenses, excluding interest; expenses related to borrowings, taxes, and brokerage; nonrecurring, extraordinary expenses; and acquired fund fees and expenses (collectively, “Advisor Class Expenses”), or reimburse the Advisor Class for Advisor Class Expenses, to the extent Advisor Class Expenses exceed 0.XX%, on an annualized basis, of the Advisor Class’ average daily net assets (hereinafter referred as the “Advisor Class Limitation”). Any Advisor Class Expenses waived or paid by the Manager pursuant to the Advisor Class Limitation are subject to reimbursement to the Manager by the Fund or Advisor Class whenever the Advisor Class Expenses are below 0.XX%. However, no reimbursement will be made more than three years after the waiver or payment of Advisor Class Expenses by the Manager or if such reimbursement would result in the Fund’s Advisor Class Expenses exceeding 0.XX%.

3. Fundwide Expenses

In the event that the waiver, payment or reimbursement with respect to Investor Class Expenses or Advisor Class Expenses results in the payment or reimbursement of Fundwide Expenses (as such term is defined in Rule 18f-3 under the 1940 Act) that have been allocated to the applicable Class, the Manager shall also pay or reimburse such Fundwide Expenses that have been allocated to the other classes of the Fund.

PAGE 41


4. Amendment and Termination of Agreement.

This Agreement will continue with respect to the Fund at least through September 30, 2018 (the “Initial Termination Date”). Thereafter, this Agreement may continue for such period of time beyond the Initial Termination Date and for such limit on Investor Class Expenses and/or Advisor Class Expenses as the Manager may agree, provided that the Board of Directors of the Fund, including a majority of the directors who are not interested persons of the Fund or the Manager, approves such continuation and new Investor Class Expenses and/or Advisor Class Expenses expense limitation(s). This Agreement may be terminated at any time beyond the Initial Termination Date with approval by the Fund’s Board of Directors, including a majority of the directors who are not interested persons of the Fund or the Manager. This Agreement will terminate automatically upon termination of its Management Agreement. Amendment or termination of this Agreement does not require approval by shareholders of the Fund or its separate classes of shares.

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be executed as of the date stated in the preamble.
