401k Enrollment Guide 2024

Move your future forward with your workplace savings plan

Affiliated Consumer Services, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan

Invest some of what you earn today for what you plan to accomplish tomorrow. Take a look and see what a difference enrolling in your workplace savings plan could make in helping you achieve your goals. Tax Savings – Once you make an election to defer some of your salary into the plan, your pretax contributions are deducted from your pay before income taxes are taken out. This means that you can actually lower the amount of current income taxes you pay each period. Also, you pay no taxes on any earnings until you withdraw them from your account, generally at retirement, enabling you to keep more of your money working for you now.

Convenience – Your contributions are automatically deducted regularly from your paycheck.

Portability – You can roll over eligible savings from a previous employer into this Plan. You can also take your plan vested account balance with you if you leave the company. See the Frequently Asked Questions section for additional details.

Investment Flexibility – You have the flexibility to select from investment options that range from more conservative to more aggressive, making it easy for you to develop a well-diversified investment portfolio.

In addition to the services provided by Fidelity, you also have access to Lincoln Financial Advisors Corp. Your advisor is not affiliated with Fidelity Investments.

adjustments (COLAs) in $500 increments.

What is the Roth 401(k) option? Unlike your traditional, pretax 401(k) deferrals, the Roth 401(k) feature allows you to contribute after-tax dollars, but then withdraw tax-free dollars from your account when you retire, provided the distribution is “qualified”. A qualified distribution is one that is taken after the five taxable year period beginning January 1 of the year for which your first designated Roth contribution to the plan is made (or to a previous plan, if that amount was subsequently rolled over to the distributing plan) AND you turn age 59 ½, become disabled, or die. If you are eligible to make traditional pretax 401(k) contributions, you can also make Roth 401(k) contributions. Your total contributions to the plan (both Roth 401(k) deferrals and traditional pretax contributions) cannot exceed IRS limits, or your plan’s limit, if less. You can obtain additional information regarding Roth 401(k) contributions by accessing the Learn section on NetBenefits. Does the Company contribute to my account? Your employer will make Safe Harbor matching contributions to your account based on your contributions. The amount will equal: - 100% of the first 5% you contribute to the Plan To be eligible for Safe Harbor matching contributions you are required to: • make employee pretax deferral contributions or Roth 401(k) after-tax deferral contributions. The plan will match on the combined total of these contributions up to the matching limit. The Employer may make discretionary profit sharing contributions, if any, on your behalf in an amount to be determined by the Board of Directors. To be eligible for discretionary profit sharing contributions you are required to: • work a minimum of 501 hours or be employed by the Employer as of the last day of the Plan Year When am I Vested? The term “vesting” refers to the portion of your account balance that you are entitled to under the plan’s rules. You are always 100% vested in your: - employee deferral account(s) - rollover account - Safe Harbor matching contributions - and any earnings thereon. Employer profit sharing contributions and earnings will be vested in accordance with the following schedule:

- covered by a collective bargaining agreement - a leased employee - a nonresident alien who does not receive any U.S. source earned income from your Employer The Plan does not cover employees who are residents of Puerto Rico. Once you satisfy these requirements, you will become eligible to participate in the Plan on the first day of the following month. How do I enroll? To enroll in the Plan, log on to Fidelity NetBenefits ® at netbenefits.com, and click on “Register Now.” Follow the easy instructions to enroll online. Please refer to the Enroll Today section of this guide found on page #3. If you do not select an investment mix of your own, your Employer has directed Fidelity to place your contributions and/or loan repayments into a(n) American Funds Target Date Retirement target date fund that most closely aligns with your projected retirement date based upon your birth year. If you would prefer to select your own investments, please contact Fidelity by logging onto www.netbenefits.com and indicate your elections. How much can I contribute? Through automatic payroll deduction, you may contribute either a dollar amount or a percentage between 1% and 50% of your eligible pay on a pretax and/or Roth basis, up to the annual IRS dollar limit (2024 = $23,000). If you select a specific dollar amount, it may not exceed the Plan percentage limits which are based on your compensation. You may change your deferral dollar amount or percentage as applicable. Any changes made would take effect on the next Plan entry date (first day of each month). What are the IRS contribution limits? If you are under age 50, the IRS contribution limit for 2024 is $23,000. What “catch-up” contribution can I make? If you are age 50 or older, or will reach age 50 during this taxable year and have reached the annual IRS Contribution limit or the Plan’s maximum contribution limit for the year, you may make an additional “catch-up” contribution. The maximum annual catch-up contribution is $7,500. In each subsequent calendar year, catch-up contribution limits will be subject to cost of living

This spectrum, with the exception of the Domestic Equity category, is based on Fidelity’s analysis of the characteristics of the general investment categories and not on the actual investment options and their holdings, which can change frequently. Investment options in the Domestic Equity

category are based on the options’ Morningstar categories as of the date indicated. There may be a number of funds in each category and each may have a significantly different risk profile as compared to other funds within that category as well as compared to funds in other categories on the spectrum. Morningstar categories are based on a fund’s style as measured by its underlying portfolio holdings over the past three years and may change at any time. These style calculations do not represent the investment options’ objectives and do not predict the investment options’ future styles. Investment options are listed in alphabetical order within each investment category. Risk associated with the investment options can vary significantly within each particular investment category and the relative risk of categories may change under certain economic conditions. For a more complete discussion of risk associated with the mutual fund options, please read the prospectuses before making your investment decisions. The spectrum does not represent actual or implied performance.

Stock markets are volatile and can fluctuate significantly in response to company, industry, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Investing in stock involves risks, including the loss of principal.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Investment Options: Target Date Funds

Target date funds offer a blend of asset classes, generally stocks, bonds, and short-term investments, within a single fund. The funds are generally designed for investors expecting to retire around the year indicated in each fund’s name.

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