TRANSITION SUMMARY

The Chubb Capital Accumulation Plan (CCAP) has always been an important part of the retirement benefit that Chubb offers employees. Chubb believes strongly in the need to save for retirement, and CCAP is one way we have helped employees do that. Whether you are a current or former Chubb employee, it’s important for you to understand how the merger of Chubb and ACE will impact CCAP and your retirement benefits.

CCAP will not accept new contributions as of the day before the merger date, but your account balance will remain a valuable part of your retirement savings. Rather than merge into the ACE USA Employee Retirement 401(k) Plan (“ACE Savings Plan”), CCAP is closing to provide you with more flexibility with respect to your retirement assets. By closing CCAP to new contributions, you may elect to:

CCAP is closing to new contributions as part of the upcoming merger with ACE.

 

Roll over your CCAP balance to the ACE Savings Plan.

 

Roll over your CCAP balance to an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) with Fidelity or another financial institution.

 

Roll over your CCAP balance to another tax-qualified plan (such as another employer’s plan).

 

Receive a cash distribution, minus applicable taxes and penalties.

 

Take a partial rollover and receive the remaining balance paid to you as a cash distribution, minus applicable taxes and penalties.

After the merger, all CCAP participants can participate in the ACE Savings Plan, which is a 401(k) plan that is similar to CCAP and offers additional features not currently available in CCAP.

This Transition Guide provides an overview of the impact of the merger on CCAP — including what decisions you need to make and the resources available to help you. Please note that some decisions are time sensitive and must be made during specific election windows.

WHAT CLOSING CCAP MEANS TO YOU

Closing CCAP to new contributions means that the plan will no longer be offered and you will need to make decisions about your future contributions and future investments into the ACE Savings Plan, as well as the balance you have in CCAP.

You will be 100% vested in all Chubb company matching contributions even if you have not met the CCAP three-year vesting requirement, so the full balance of your CCAP account as of the merger date is yours to keep. If you are employed at Chubb as of the merger date, you will automatically be enrolled in the ACE Savings Plan at your current contribution rate. However, your CCAP balance will not roll over automatically into the ACE Savings Plan, unless you make an affirmative election.

Although CCAP is closing to new contributions, active employees should experience a seamless transition into the ACE Savings Plan, including no interruption in your ability to make contributions into the ACE Savings Plan.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

If You Are an Active Employee

Your Contribution Rate and Future Investment Direction

Future contribution rate: As a Chubb employee, your current CCAP contribution rate will transfer automatically to the

ACE Savings Plan effective as of the merger date. Any after-tax contribution rate you have elected in CCAP will map to a

Roth contribution rate in the ACE Savings Plan and will be eligible to receive company matching contributions.

NEW OPTION: ROTH AFTER-TAX CONTRIBUTIONS

With a Roth 401(k), your contributions are made with after-tax income. The money that you contribute in your

Roth grows on a tax-deferred basis, so you won’t have to pay any tax on your withdrawals,* including any

investment earnings, when you retire. For 2016, the maximum amount you can contribute in pre-tax 401(k) and

Roth after-tax 401(k) contributions is $18,000 (and up to another $6,000 if you will be age 50 or older in 2016).

 

*

 

In the event of retirement or termination, your earnings can be withdrawn tax-free as long as it has been five tax years since your first Roth

401(k) contribution and you are at least 59 1/2 years old. In the event of death, beneficiaries may be able to receive distributions tax-free if

 

the deceased started making Roth contributions more than five tax years prior to the distribution. In the event of disability, your earnings

 

can be withdrawn tax-free if it has been five tax years from your first Roth 401(k) contribution.

If you want to change your contribution percentage for the ACE Savings Plan and would like it to take effect as soon as administratively possible after the merger, you will need to make the change on the ACE Savings Plan website approximately one week prior to close. The ACE Savings Plan website can be accessed via a link on the Chubb Transition Website or directly at www.yourbenefitsresources.com/ACE. Just as you can today, you may change your contribution rate in the ACE Savings Plan at any time.

Future investment direction: You will need to choose from the investment options available in the ACE Savings Plan to direct your future contributions. If you don’t make an investment election, your future contributions will be directed into the

ACE qualified default investment alternative (QDIA) which is a Target Date Fund based on a date closest to the year in which you reach age 65.

The first time you visit the

ACE Savings Plan website you will need:

 

Your date of birth

 

Last four digits of your social security number

 

Your ZIP code

Then follow the prompts to create your user ID and password, which you will need to access the site going forward.

The target date funds are designed for investors expecting to retire around the year indicated in each fund’s name. The funds are managed to gradually become more conservative over time as they approach the target date. The investment risk of each target date fund changes over time as the fund’s asset allocation changes. The funds are subject to the volatility of the financial markets, including that of equity and fixed income investments in the U.S. and abroad, and may be subject to risks associated with investing in high-yield, small-cap, and foreign securities. Principal invested is not guaranteed at any time, including at or after the funds’ target dates.

As with all investment-related decisions, please consult a tax advisor or investment professional before making your decision.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

If You Are Invested in the Chubb Stock Fund and/or ESOP

Net Unrealized Appreciation (NUA) for the Chubb Stock Fund and ESOP

The closing of CCAP to new contributions may create a taxable event if you are invested in the Chubb Stock Fund and/or ESOP. Participants who meet the eligibility criteria can minimize the taxes due on their investment gains by preserving the cost basis (the price you initially paid for the Chubb Stock Fund and/or ESOP investments).

YOU NEED TO MEET ONE OF THE TWO ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA IN ORDER TO PRESERVE NUA

You are 59 1/2 or older as of the distribution date You have separated service from Chubb or ACE prior OR to CCAP terminating (approximately 12-18 months after the merger date)

NUA is the difference between the price you initially paid for Chubb stock (its cost basis) and its current market value.

Example

Assume you bought Chubb stock in your plan for $20 per share, and you use $2,000 to purchase 100 shares. Five years later, the shares are worth $35 each, for a total value of $3,500: $2,000 of that would be your cost basis, and $1,500 would be net unrealized appreciation (total value less your cost basis).

NUA is not subject to tax until the company stock is sold and it will never be subject to an early withdrawal penalty. When the stock is sold, the NUA is subject to tax at capital gains rates — not ordinary income tax rates, which can be much higher. So, if you don’t preserve your cost basis, all distributions will be taxed at your current income tax rate.

In order to help you preserve your NUA as of the merger date, any balances in the Chubb Stock Fund and ESOP will convert to approximately 50% “New Chubb” Stock Fund and/or ESOP and 50% into a money market fund (the Money Market Portfolio—Chubb Stock—Government and/or the Money Market Portfolio—ESOP Stock—Government).

How To Preserve Your NUA

1. The first step in preserving your cost basis is to determine if you meet the eligibility criteria outlined above.

2. If you do, then you will need to decide whether to reinvest the cash proceeds you have in the money market fund back into “New Chubb” stock and/or ESOP. This will help you to preserve the maximum NUA.

3. The final step you take to fully preserve your cost basis is to withdraw all stock from CCAP and move it into a brokerage account in advance of rolling your balance to the ACE Savings Plan, rolling it to an IRA, taking it in cash or taking a partial roll over and the rest paid in cash, less applicable taxes and penalties.

As with all investment-related decisions, please consult a tax advisor or investment professional before making your decision.

Balances in the Chubb Stock Fund and/or ESOP

You can make this exchange on Fidelity NetBenefits®. If you leave your balance in the money market fund beyond 90 days or exchange it into other investment options, you will no longer be able to retain the cost basis associated with the money market fund.

Distribution of Your CCAP Balance

You will need to decide what to do with your CCAP balance. You have four options:

Roll over your CCAP balance to the ACE Savings Plan.

Roll over your CCAP balance to an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) with Fidelity or another financial institution.

Receive a cash distribution, minus applicable taxes and penalties.

As with all investment-related decisions, please consult a tax advisor or investment professional before making your decision.

In January you will receive a detailed Decision Guide that will explain your distribution options in detail and what to consider when making your election. This information will also be available on the Chubb

Decision Transition Transition Website. If you don’t make a balance Guide Website election during the election window, you will still have the opportunity to roll it over before CCAP is terminated (approximately 12-18 months after the merger).

WHAT HAPPENS IF

There are situations that affect only some CCAP participants. If you are in one of these situations, there may be additional considerations for you. Review the chart below to see if any of these apply to you.

Savings Plan, the increase will take effect each April.

Required Distribution (MRD).

You are 70 1/2 or older on If you stop working, you must begin taking a December 31, 2015 Minimum Required Distribution (MRD).
