SUP Money Purchase Pension and 401(k) Plans– Special Notice Investment Fund Changes & Additions

Recently, the Board of Trustees approved a number of changes and improvements to the SUP Money Purchase Pension and 401(k) Plans based on the recommendations from our Investment Advisor; MasterPlan Advisors, Inc. Beginning April 2nd, 2007, the Plan will allow - but not require - participants to allocate their Money Purchase Pension account assets to any of several mutual funds that are available in the SUP 401(k) Plan. Effective April 2nd, 2007, there will be new funds, replacement funds and a palette of managed portfolios or “model portfolios” available for investment under both plans. Model portfolios are professionally managed investment accounts that participants select based on their desired level of risk.  Included in this notice is information regarding those options and the changes and additions that will be made for both plans.

Please read this document carefully and review your current account to determine how your account may be affected. Included with this notice is a performance summary of the funds discussed, a brief fund description, and model portfolio descriptions. Fund information sheets or prospectuses are available from MasterPlan Services. Fund information sheets and prospectuses are also available on the web atwww.masterplanretirement.com. Login to your account and click the fund name link to access information on each fund. You may also contact a MasterPlan Customer Service Representative at 800-547-4334 between 7:30 AM and 4:30 p.m. Pacific Time for a prospectus or additional information.
