Important Notice Regarding Your Deferred Salary Plan: More Flexibility To Invest Your Employer Contributions
  The Trustees of the Deferred  Salary Plan of the Electrical Industry are pleased to announce that effective  January 3, 2017, plan participants will be able to invest a portion of their  employer contributions in any of the Plan’s investment options.
  Right now, all employer  contributions to your retirement plan are invested in the JIB Capital  Preservation Fund and are not transferrable to other investment options. The  Trustees of the Deferred Salary Plan are pleased to announce that in January of  2017, 25% of your total employer contributions over the minimum balance of  $50,000 will be available for you to transfer to the Plan’s other investment  options. This amount will be moved to a source within the JIB Capital Preservation  Fund that you control and will continue to be invested in the JIB Capital  Preservation Fund until you decide to invest it elsewhere. You will be able to  transfer that money into any of the available investment options in your Plan,  whenever you choose. This may allow you to diversify your investment mix more  thoroughly. 
  
  The following Frequently Asked  Questions will provide more information about this new investment opportunity.  We will also be holding member education meetings in the coming weeks to  provide more details and to answer any questions you might have about this  benefit.  
  
  Frequently Asked Questions About Investing A Portion Of Your  Employer 
  
  Contributions 
  1) Why are the Trustees making  this change? 
  Participants with large  balances in their employer contribution sources have requested flexibility to  invest their employer contributions in the other Plan investment options.
  2) Who qualifies for this new  benefit? 
  You qualify if you participate  in the Deferred Salary Plan and have accumulated a combined total of over  $50,000 in your employer contribution sources. These sources include your  Employer Contributions and Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) Excess  contributions (Non-Transferrable).
  3) How much of my employer  contributions will I be able to transfer into other investment options? 
  Twenty-five percent of your  employer source balance over $50,000 will be transferred to a new transferrable  source within the JIB Capital Preservation Fund. This money will remain  invested in the JIB Capital Preservation Fund until you decide to move it. As  with your employee contributions, you can transfer money in this new  Transferrable Employer source into any of the available investment options in  the plan, whenever you choose. 
  Example: If your employer contribution  balance is $150,000, $25,000 will be available to self-direct on January 3rd:  $150,000-$50,000 = $100,000 X 25% = $25,000.
  4) When will the money be  available for me to invest in the Plan options? 
  If you qualify, the money will  be transferred into the newly established Transferrable Employer source before  the end of the year and will be available on January 3, 2017. 
  5) Do I have to transfer the  money to other investment options? 
  No, the  money in your Transferrable Employer source will continue to be invested in the  JIB Capital Preservation Fund. You can leave it in the JIB Capital Preservation 
  Fund or transfer any portion into other available investment options. The  decision is up to you. 
  6) Can my eligible money  simply stay in the current employer contribution sources?  
  No, the new source will be  established for all eligible participants. However, if you don’t want to invest  that money into other Plan investment options, you can leave it in the JIB  Capital Preservation Fund.
  7) If I transfer money from  the new transferrable source to the other Plan investment options, can I  transfer the money back to the JIB Capital Preservation Fund at a later date?
  Yes, the funds in the new  source will always be transferrable to any Plan investment å_options, including  the JIB Capital Preservation Fund.
  8) Will this affect the amount  of money currently in my JIB Capital Preservation Fund account?  
  No, your total balance will  remain the same. We are simply moving a portion of the money from your  Non-Transferrable Employer Contribution sources into a Transferrable Employer  source. 
  9) How do I move this money  into other investment options? 
  As soon as your new  Transferrable Employer source is funded, you may go to 
  www.ibenefitcenter.com or call 1-877-JIB-401k (542-4015) to transfer that money  into any other available investment options within the plan. 
  10) Will the new source appear  on my statement and online account?  
  Yes, you will be able to see  your new source listed on your statement and online. The new source will be  named “Transferrable Employer.” The fourth-quarter 2016 
  account statement will show this new account source. You should receive the  statement approximately 15 days after the end of the quarter. 
  11) What if I opted to have my  salary deferral contributions rebalanced? 
  If you are currently set up  for auto rebalancing, the money in your new Transferrable Employer source will  be included in future rebalances. 
  12) How often will money be  put into this new source from my Non-Transferrable Employer Contribution  sources?  
  The Plan Trustees will  determine on a periodic basis the amounts that will be eligible for  diversification. 
  13) How will this affect my  employer contribution withdrawals?  
  Any withdrawals from your  employer contribution sources will come first from your Non-Transferrable  Employer sources and then from your new Transferrable Employer source.  Therefore, you will liquidate JIB Capital Preservation Fund assets before you  liquidate Transferrable Employer source money that you may have invested in the  other investment options. 
  14) What sources are in my  account and how are they referenced on quarterly 
    statements?  
  Transferrable  sources in your Deferred Salary Plan Account:
