1 All guarantees are based on TIAA's claims-paying ability. TIAA Traditional is a guaranteed insurance contract and not an investment for federal securities law purposes. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

2 "Pension-like" income refers to lifetime income made available by guaranteed-interest annuity contracts, not income provided by a defined benefit pension plan. Annuity contracts may be funding options in defined contribution pension plans, but are not themselves pension plans. Annuity contract guarantees are subject to the financial strength of the issuing insurer. Defined benefit pension plans are subject to the financial strength of the employer's pension plan.

3 TIAA may share profits with Traditional Retirement Annuity owners through declared additional amounts of interest and through increases in annuity income throughout retirement. These additional amounts are not guaranteed.
