                                        With CITs, dedicated share classes for individual plans allow larger sponsors to benefit from flexible pricing, just as they do in a separately managed account. A dedicated share class
                                        provides customized pricing, which allows sponsors to benefit from economies of scale in advisory fees and from the lower operating costs that come with a larger investment pool. 1

                                        Vanguard Target Series – Asset Allocation Investments in Motion
                                        The Vanguard Target Series are a way for participants to have a professionally managed portfolio designed for their retirement time horizon. Each option in this series follows its own
                                        asset allocation path (“glide path”) to progressively reduce its equity exposure and become more conservative over time, reaching its most conservative allocation 10 years after the year
                                        specified by the target date. Generally target date investment options are designed to be held beyond the presumed retirement date to offer a continuing investment option for the investor
                                        in retirement. The year in the investment option name refers to the approximate year an investor in the option would plan to retire (assuming a retirement age of 65) and likely would stop
                                        making new contributions to the investment option. However, an investor may choose a date other than their presumed retirement date to be more conservative or aggressive depending
                                        on their own risk tolerance.

                                        These investment options are designed for participants who plan to withdraw the value of their accounts gradually after retirement. Investments in these options are not guaranteed and
                                        you may experience losses, including losses near, at, or after the target date. Additionally, there is no guarantee that the options will provide adequate income at and through your
                                        retirement.

                                        This notice describes changes being made by your plan sponsor to the Plan's investment options. As a result, these changes will alter how your account is invested after the effective date of the change. The new
                                        investment options that were selected to replace the existing investment options have characteristics, including level of risk and rate of return, that are reasonably similar to the characteristics of the existing
                                        investment options. With information previously or concurrently provided to you regarding the plan’s existing and new investment options, you may consider whether you want to have the existing investments
                                        in your account automatically transferred to the new investment options. If you do not want to invest in the comparable new investment options, then you can make changes to the investment of your account prior
                                        to the transition as described in this notice. If you have previously exercised discretion over the investment of your account and you do not provide affirmative investment instructions contrary to the change prior
                                        to the effective date of the change, you will be treated as having affirmatively elected to invest your account in the new investment options. |Please consider an investment option’s objectives, risks, fees and
                                        expenses carefully before investing. This and other information about the investment option can be found in the applicable prospectuses or summary prospectuses, if any, or fact sheets for the investment options
