DRAFT LETTER FOR PARTICIPANTS TO BE MAILED BY PROVIDERS …



September 15, 2011Changes to the University of Texas Retirement Program Investment LineupDear University of Texas System Retirement Program participant:You are receiving this letter because you have all or part of your plan account balance in a funding option that will no longer be available for new contributions or transfers on and after November 15, 2011 through the UT System Retirement Program.The University of Texas (UT) System Retirement Program and MetLife Resources are dedicated to helping you plan for the future you want. As part of that commitment, UT regularly monitors the funding options according to established criteria that include (but are not limited to) overall performance objectives, fees, fund management, and fit within the line-up. The goal is to maintain an array of funding options to help you diversify your account according to your individual retirement planning needs, while offering an appropriate number that can be effectively monitored.We are pleased to announce, on behalf of UT, that as a result of its latest review, UT has introduced a streamlined fund line-up with competitively performing funds and competitive fees that provides you an array of quality funds across the risk spectrum while making it easier for you to select the funding options that best fit your individual situation. These changes will occur on November 15, 2011. The details of the changes are outlined in the follow pages. Not all funding options listed in the charts will apply to you. Also, there are funding options available under the UT System Retirement Program that are not affected. To review a complete list of Program funding options and your exact plan account holdings, log in to your MetLife website at uts or call Client Service at 1-800-236-8489. IMPORTANT: Actions to ConsiderIf you are satisfied with how your contributions will be redirected on and after November 15, then you do not need to take any action. However, if you would like to change how your future contributions will be redirected, then you must update your contribution allocation no later than 3pm CST on November 14, 2011. After this date and time, you will still have the ability to change the direction of your future contributions, but some contributions may be redirected depending on when you notify us.You may transfer any part of your plan account balance into any funding option that is available through November 14, 2011, but, on and after November 15, 2011, you will not be permitted to transfer any part of your plan account balance into any funding option that will no longer be available.Any part of your plan account balance that you have in any funding option that will no longer be available on and after November 15, 2011, will remain in that funding option. However, you may transfer any part of your plan account balance out of those funding options on and after November 15, 2011, into any funding option that is available on and after that date . You may wish to take this opportunity to contact your MetLife representative in order to review your overall retirement plan allocations and goals. Please see the attached list of representatives.For additional information about your UT System Retirement Program fund offerings or for assistance with making any fund changes, please contact MetLife Client Services at 1-800-236-8489 or log onto the MetLife website at uts.Sincerely, MetLife ResourcesVariable annuities are offered by prospectus only, which is available from your registered representative.
