Target Retirement Date Change Form

Name: Contact Tel. No: Home Address: Date of Birth:

For the purpose of the automatic investment switching arrangements under the Lifestyle Plan, I require my Target Retirement Date (TRD) to be as follows: -

If you do not enter an exact date above then we will interpret the date as the earliest possible date based on what you enter e.g. 2018 will be interpreted 1st January 2018. For most members, the automatic Lifestyle switching from the Long Term Fund to the Short Term Fund starts once you are 10 years from your TRD. For some members, the switching period is set as 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 years, dependent on how far away from TRD you were at 1 April 2003. If you are not sure of your switching period then please contact the Pensions Department. I understand that if I have previously chosen to override the automatic switching arrangements then this form will cancel that override and my investments will automatically be switched according to my new TRD (shown above) and my switching period. I also understand that if I have more than one Lifestyle account, then this instruction will apply to all my Lifestyle accounts (unless I specify otherwise on this form). Signed: Date
