Average annual returns provided are representative of performance as of March 31, 2019.

* Acadian’s investment management fee for its All-Country World ex-US Equity Collective Investment Trust (“CIT”) Fund is 0.50%.  In addition, this CIT will be charged with certain operating expenses, including, but not limited to, custody fees, securities pricing fees, annual audit fees, tax filing fees, annual 5500 expenses, NSCC fees for CIT transactions via the NSCC system, website hosting and maintenance fees and manual trading fees.  The operating expenses are capped at 0.15%.

** These annualized returns are a composite of the Acadian All-Country World ex-US Equity CIT Fund’s performance since inception of the CIT on 11/1/1998; past performance does not guarantee future results.

*** 0.10% revenue is returned to participants invested in this Fund.


You do not need to take any action.  Any asset balances you have in, or contribution elections going to, the fund being removed will automatically map (or transfer) during the period described below to the new investment option, the Acadian All-Country World ex-US Equity CIT Fund – Class A.


If, however, you do not wish for an automatic mapping of these assets, please keep in mind that you can change your investment elections on your own at any time.  If you have assets in the fund being removed, you can transfer the balance of that fund to any available alternative funds available under the Plans by initiating a transfer prior to 4:00 p.m. ET on July 1, 2019.  In addition, you can make changes to your future contribution elections for the fund being removed.  Please log on to your account at LincolnFinancial.com or visit LincolnFinancial.com/RetirementInfoCenter for more information on the available fund options.  Of course, you could also wait until after the automatic mapping occurs if you wish to exchange funds or change where your future contributions are invested.

Any transactions requested on July 2, 2019 (such as fund transfers, loans, or distribution transactions) will not be processed while the fund change is being made but will be processed after the fund change has been completed, which is anticipated to be that same day.  Your account, however, will remain fully invested during the change.

If you are also a participant in any of Lincoln’s non-qualified deferred compensation plans administered by Nolan Financial Group that utilize the same fund options as the Plans, please note that this same fund change will impact the non-qualified plans at the same time.

Macquarie SMID Cap Growth Trust (Ticker: DELASCG).  Effective as of June 1, 2019, the Macquarie SMID Cap Growth Trust will lower its fees from 0.80% to a maximum of 0.75% (0.70% for investment management fees and 0.05% maximum for operating fees).  As a result of this change, the fund name has been changed to “Macquarie SMID Cap Growth Trust Fee Class 75”.  There were no other changes to this fund.

Note:   This Summary of Material Modifications also supplements the more comprehensive 404(a) Annual Participant Fee Disclosure Notice (“404(a) Disclosure Notice”) you received regarding certain plan and investment-related information (see charts 1 and 3 of the 404(a) Disclosure Notice).  A copy of the most recent 404(a) Disclosure Notice is available on One (Important Notices/Annual Notices) or you can request a copy by contacting the Lincoln Customer Contact Center at 800-234-3500.
