Settle your plan liabilities through an annuity buyout.

Our Full Risk Transfer solution offers:

• Transfer of your company’s plan in its entirety to the issuing MetLife insurance company¹ — permanently
• Elimination of most volatility and risks associated with your company’s plan
• Reassignment of your company’s obligations associated with the plan to the issuing MetLife insurance company¹
• Removal of ongoing costs such as administration, investment and PBGC premium costs

Premium payment for pension buyout transactions can be made in the form of cash or subject to any required regulatory approval by a transfer of assets-in-kind (AIK).

AIK transfers benefit your company by:

● Potentially reducing the premium

● Reducing the need to liquidate significant portions of plan assets, which can lead to:

       ○ Asset Liability Management (ALM) mismatches

       ○ Material transaction costs

       ○ A drag on portfolio returns or yields pre-closing

● Reducing risk during the transition period from current plan status to the insurer.
