Reminder: Although Income America 5ForLife is a target date fund series, it does not replace the State Street Target Retirement Non-Lending Series currently offered under the Plan. In addition, the qualified default investment alternative (“QDIA”) for the Plan will continue to be the State Street Target Retirement Non-Lending Series Fund that most closely matches the year you attain age 65. If you have questions regarding the Plan’s QDIA or would like a copy of the most recent QDIA Notice, please contact the Lincoln Customer Contact Center at 800-234-3500.
Actions to consider
Take a few minutes to review your investment portfolio, including making a determination as to whether the Income America 2045 Fund might be more applicable to your age and situation. Make any changes you feel would be helpful to meet your retirement savings goals. Information about making a change can be found in the section entitled “Questions?” below.
2. JPMCB Large Cap Growth
Effective March 11, 2026, the JPMCB Large Cap Growth Fund will change from CF-A Class to a newly created CF-E Class. This fund-class change will result in lower fees. Any account balances you have in, or future contributions going to, JPMCB Large Cap Growth Fund CF-A Class as of the close of business on March 11, 2026 will automatically be mapped (or transferred) to JPMCB Large Cap Growth Fund CF-E Class so you do not need to take any action.
For purposes of clarity, the terms “mapped” and “mapping” refer to your future contributions, while “transferred” and “transfer” refer to your existing account balances.
The following fund, currently available as an investment option, will be removed from the fund lineup on the effective date stated above. Any existing assets and/or future contribution investment elections remaining in the fund at that time will automatically be mapped (or transferred) as shown in the following chart. Any contributions or rollovers received on or after March 11, 2026, that are directed to the fund being removed, will be mapped as shown in the chart below.
| | | | | | | | | | | |
If you are currently invested in the following fund being removed: | Your balance and investment election will be transferred to the new fund being added: |
20261K404 | JPMCB Large Cap Growth Fund CF-A Class | 20261K701 | JPMCB Large Cap Growth Fund CF-E Class |
| Prior to investing in a collective investment trust option, an investor should consider carefully the investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses of the offeror of the collective investment trust. |
Actions to consider
Take a few minutes to review your investment portfolio. Make any changes you feel are necessary to meet your retirement savings goals. If you don’t want the investment of your existing account or future contributions to be mapped (or transferred) to the JPMCB Large Cap Growth Fund CF-E Class, you may change your investment elections and/or make a reallocation on your own by initiating a transfer prior to 4:00 p.m. ET on March 11, 2026. Note that you cannot choose to keep any investments in, or transfer any investments to, the JPMCB Large Cap Growth Fund CF-A Class. Information about making a change can be found in the section entitled “Questions?” below.
Please be sure to make any changes prior to 4:00 p.m. ET on March 11, 2026 if you do not want the mapping (or transfer) to occur. Of course, you could also wait until after the automatic mapping (or transfer) occurs if you wish to exchange funds or change where your future contributions are invested.
Any transactions requested on March 11, 2026 (such as fund transfers, loans, or distribution transactions) will not be processed while the fund change is being made but will process normally once the fund change is completed. Your account 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 Plan, please note that this same fund change will impact the non-qualified plans at the same time.
