The following information is a Summary of Material Modifications/Notice of Changes relating to certain investment options under the LNL Agents' 401(k) Savings Plan (the "Plan").  For more information about each of the investment options offered under the Plan (except for the LNC Stock Fund), you should log on to your account at www.lincolnfinancial.com or contact the Lincoln Customer Contact Center at 800-234-3500.



Investment Fund Changes:

Effective February 14, 2019, the following changes will take effect for the investment funds available under the Plan:

Removing:
New fund being added
Assets and elections will be mapped to:
 
State Street Russell Large Cap Index Fund – Class C
(aka -  State Strt Russell Lrg Cap Idx NI Srs on LincolnFinancial.com)
 
 
State Street S&P 500 Index Fund - Class N
 
Ticker:  CMDVM
 
Expense %:  0.023
 


No action is required.  Any asset balances in, or contribution elections going to, the fund being removed will automatically map (or transfer) during the period described below to the new investment option, the State Street S&P 500 Index Fund – Class N.

If, however, you do not wish for an automatic mapping of these assets, please keep in mind that you can change your investment elections on your own at any time.  If you have assets in the fund being removed, you can transfer the balance of that fund to any available alternative funds under the Plan by initiating a transfer prior to 4:00 p.m. ET on February 13, 2019.  In addition, you can make changes to your future contribution elections (if applicable) for the fund being removed.  Please log on to your account at LincolnFinancial.com or visit LincolnFinancial.com/RetirementInfoCenter for more information on the available fund options.  Of course, you could also wait until after the automatic mapping occurs if you wish to exchange funds or change where your future contributions are invested.

Any transactions requested on February 14, 2019 (such as fund transfers, loans or distribution transactions) will not be processed while the fund change is being made.  Your account, however, will remain fully invested during the change.
