ATTENTION ALL PARTICIPANTS AND BENEFICIARIES OF: NETCOM INC. EMPLOYEES' PENSION PLAN The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC), the federal government's insurance program for pension benefits, is taking steps to assume responsibility for your pension plan. This means PBGC will become your plan's trustee PBGC will pay you the benefits you earned, up to limits set by law. PBGC is taking this action because your plan meets the criteria for termination under federal pension law.

The plan will terminate as of September 30, 2019. As of that date, you will not earn any further benefits from the plan When PBGC becomes trustee of your plan, we will notify you by letter. If you are retired, we will continue to pay your benefit without interruption. If you are not yet retired, we will pay your guaranteed benefit when you become eligible.
