Update your beneficiary designation

Even if you have already selected beneficiaries under your current group insurance program, you must select your beneficiaries again. However, any previous irrevocable designation will prevail.

It is recommended that you nominate a beneficiary to ensure that in the event of a life claim, payment can be made promptly and according to your wishes. You can print the beneficiary form at any time accessible from the [Enrolment] link as outlined below. Special note for Quebec residents If you are a Quebec resident and name your legal spouse as your beneficiary, this designation is considered irrevocable (meaning you must have your spouse’s written consent to change your beneficiary designation) unless you specify “revocable” when first naming your spouse as a beneficiary. Print the beneficiary form:

• Sign in to mysunlife.ca/snclavalin • Click [Enrolment] under the heading my health and well-being on the Home page

• Select [View your coverage summary] under the Enrolment Options box

• Click [Print Beneficiary form]

• Download the form in your preferred language of English or French, fill it out as required and mail it to the address provided on the form

Skip this section if... You are receiving long-term disability benefits. You do not need to take any action as you remain covered under your current life insurance contract.

Your contributions

If you’re currently contributing to the Harvest International Program:

We set up your plan (now called the International Savings Plan) assuming you will maintain your contribution rate, up to 5%, effective September 30, 2016.

If you’re currently contributing to the Harvest Program:

• We set up your SNCL Retirement Plan (DCPP) assuming you will maintain your base contribution rate, up to 5%, effective September 30, 2016, so that you benefit from the 100% employer match in the DCPP.

• If part of your base contribution is currently allocated to a spousal account, we assumed you will maintain your total base contribution rate in the DCPP in order to benefit from the 100% employer match, as no spousal account is allowed in the DCPP.

• If you currently make supplementary contributions to the Harvest Program, we assumed you will maintain your contribution rate effective as of September 30, 2016, in the new SNCL Group RRSP.

• If you currently make supplementary contributions to a spousal account in the Harvest Program, we assumed you will maintain your contribution rate effective as of September 30, 2016, in the spousal account of the new SNCL Group RRSP.

Please note Should you wish to update your contribution rate, you must do so before December 7, 2016 if you want your new contribution rate to apply to your first contribution at Sun Life Financial in January 2017.

How to update your contribution rate You can update your contribution rate online or by calling the Customer Care Centre. To update your instructions online, once you’ve signed in to mysunlife.ca/snclavalin:

• select [my financial centre] from the Home page

• select [Payroll contributions] from the Requests drop-down menu

Your investment instructions

If you do not take action regarding your investment instructions before December 31, 2016 Your assets will automatically be invested in the replacement portfolios at Sun Life Financial as described in Appendix 1.

Skip this section if... You do not have assets in the Harvest or Harvest International Program, or in the Kentz DC plan.

Your current asset mix and investment instructions will not carry over to Sun Life Financial. Your transferred assets will be allocated and invested according to the fund mapping table in Appendix 1.

As a general rule, all funds with Manulife will be replaced with the SNCL Moderate Portfolio with a maturity date closest to, but not exceeding, your 65th birthday.

However, if your assets are currently invested in one of the three balanced portfolios (conservative, moderate or aggressive), the replacement SNCL Target Portfolio chosen for you will reflect the risk profile of the portfolio in which you are currently invested (see Appendix 1 for details).

The resulting new investment instructions will be applicable to:

• Assets transferred from your Harvest and/or Harvest International Program account at Manulife

• DCPP contributions starting in 2017 (employee and employer match), if applicable

• Group RRSP contributions starting in 2017, if applicable

• International Savings Plan contributions starting in 2017 (employee and employer match), if applicable

How will your assets held at Manulife transfer to Sun Life Financial?All assets will transfer to Sun Life.

This includes your current Harvest Program account (your Group RRSP holding employee contributions and your DPSP holding employer contributions), but also any other accounts, such as a spousal account, a locked-in retirement account (LIRA), or a non-registered account, such as your Harvest International Program account.

Your beneficiary designation

If you have designated a beneficiary for your assets currently with Manulife It will transfer to Sun Life Financial for the RRSP, DPSP and Harvest International.

If the new DCPP is set up for you at Sun Life You must designate a beneficiary, or your beneficiary will default to your estate. It is important to choose a beneficiary for your plan assets so they are distributed according to your wishes in the event of your death.

Under the DCPP, if you have a spouse when you die, the law stipulates that all or part of the death benefit be paid to your surviving spouse unless, where provided, your spouse waives the death benefit. A beneficiary designation other than your spouse would only apply to those death benefits which are not, according to the law, payable to your surviving spouse. If you wish to ensure that your spouse receives all benefits, please designate your spouse here. However, in some pension jurisdictions your spouse can waive this entitlement in writing, allowing you to appoint a beneficiary. Where Quebec law applies, a legal (married or civil union) spouse beneficiary is irrevocable unless you indicate otherwise. • Sign in to mysunlife.ca/snclavalin using your access ID and password, and select [my financial centre] from the

Home page

• Select [Beneficiary info] from the Quick Links drop-down menu and provide your beneficiary’s information

Appendix 2: Your investment approaches and fund lineupYou have a variety of investments to choose from, with two distinct investment approaches in which you can invest and save: built FOR me and built BY me. Built FOR me You can simplify your investment decision-making process by choosing from the plan’s pre-built portfolios. These are pre-built portfolios based on a target date and your investment risk tolerance. Your target date is the date when you expect to retire or the date at which you expect to start withdrawing assets. SNCL Target Portfolios help you invest based on your investment time horizon – meaning when you need your money – and your comfort level with investment risk. Each portfolio automatically becomes more conservative (less risky) as it gets closer to its target date, but how the portfolios’ asset mix adjusts depends on the risk profile you choose. The portfolios provide diversification and are managed by a team of experts to help you stay on track for the long term. At maturity, a portfolio’s assets transfer to the SNCL Retirement Portfolio, which is designed for investors who will soon be drawing an income from their savings. Each portfolio’s asset mix was designed based on the length of time you have until you want your money and your comfort with risk.

Here are the built FOR me Target Portfolios available to you:

SNCL Target Portfolios

SNCL Conservative Portfolio Eight target dates from 2020 to 2055, in five-year increments

SNCL Moderate Portfolio Eight target dates from 2020 to 2055, in five-year increments

SNCL Aggressive Portfolio Eight target dates from 2020 to 2055, in five-year increments

YOU SHOULD CONSIDER AN SNCL Target Portfolio IF YOU: • have a good idea of when you will need your money;

• have little interest in actively managing your portfolio, or feel you lack the knowledge or experience to manage your portfolio; and

• are comfortable with the portfolios strategy of decreasing levels of risk and potential returns as you approach your target date.

IF YOU DECIDE TO INVEST IN ONE OF THE SNCL Target Portfolios, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS:

1. complete the online Asset allocation tool. It provides you with an investment risk profile/score based on your answers to the questions – and it only takes a few minutes to complete;

2. determine your target date and invest in the portfolio that most closely matches this date and your investment risk profile and select the corresponding portfolio;

3. review your risk tolerance at least once each year – or when a major life event occurs – to ensure that the Target Portfolio you’re invested in continues to meet your needs. If it doesn’t, you can switch to another portfolio that better matches your risk tolerance.

Bill’s case study Bill is in his mid-twenties; he’s busy starting his career, planning a wedding and buying a house.

Between upgrading his skills and managing his personal life, he doesn’t have much time to think about investing. Bill just wants to put some money away for his future; he doesn’t want to spend too much time managing a portfolio. Bill completed the Asset allocation tool and discovered that he has a moderate risk level. Since Bill plans on retiring when he’s 65, he chooses the SNCL Moderate 2055 Portfolio.

With so much on her plate, she wants to save as much as she can and not think about it. Beth completed the Asset allocation tool and discovered that she has a conservative risk level. Beth hopes to retire at 65 (even though she may have to work longer), so she selects the SNCL Conservative 2040 Portfolio.

Carol’s case study Carol is so close to retirement she is actively planning her future. At 55, she has 10 or less years of work left. She wants to make sure she has a diversified portfolio that’s moving to a more conservative asset mix as she approaches retirement. Carol completed the Asset allocation tool and discovered that she has an aggressive risk level. To achieve this investment objective, she invests her money in the SNCL Aggressive 2020 Portfolio.

Default option If you do not provide active investment instructions for your plans, your contributions will be directed to the SNCL Moderate Portfolio with the maturity date closest to your 65th birthday (without exceeding it), which is the default option in your Program. Since this investment option may not be suited to your investment horizon and risk profile, we recommend you take the time to assess your financial and retirement goals to determine the investment strategy that best fits your needs.
