RE:  PENSION PLAN IMPROVEMENT

 

 

Dear Participant:

 

We are pleased to announce the following benefit modification, which the Board of Trustees adopted at their meeting of December 7, 1999:

 

·         The Early Retirement Age was changed from age 60 to age 56 effective May 1, 1999.

 

·         Effective retroactive to May 1, 1999, the Plan was amended to extend the Unreduced Early Retirement Benefit provisions at age 58 with 25 Years of Service to all pre-merger Accrued Benefits as well as the previously approved Michigan BAC Accrued Benefits.

 

·         Finally, for Active Participants retroactive to May 1, 1999, the their Pre-Merger Benefit will be increased by 1.3333% or in the same ratio as the Future Service Credit Formula as 3.75% is to 3.80%.

 

If you have any questions regarding these Plan Improvements, please do not hesitate to contact the Pension Department at the Fund Office for further assistance.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

BOARD OF TRUSTEES
