Treasury Management Services 408(b)(2) Disclosure Document 

Sweep Services

Introduction

This disclosure document provides an overview of the sweep services provided by PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”), and the fees and other compensation charged for or otherwise related to such services, with respect to employee benefit plans, as required by the Department of Labor regulation under Section 408(b)(2) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). For more information regarding the specific services that PNC will provide your Plan with respect to the sweep services and the related fees, please refer to your Plan’s PNC Treasury Management Services Comprehensive Agreement, the Account Agreement for Business Accounts, the Funds Availability Policy and any applicable terms and conditions relating to specific services that we provide to your plan (collectively, the “Agreement”).

Under ERISA, a plan sponsor or other fiduciary has a fiduciary responsibility to prudently select and monitor those hired to provide services to the plan and their related fees and compensation, to ensure, among other things, the reasonableness of the service arrangement and that the compensation received by the service provider is reasonable in light of the services provided. This disclosure document is designed to assist you in meeting that fiduciary responsibility.

Your Plan may receive services from other service providers, such as a third party administrator, which are outside the scope of this document. Moreover, PNC or its affiliates may provide services to your Plan under separate arrangements not described herein. For information on those services and related fees and expenses, please refer to those service providers’ separate 408(b)(2) disclosure documents or contact those service providers. Moreover, to the extent that you receive services from PNC that are outside of the scope of the services covered by this Disclosure Document, please reference the disclosure documents specifically relating to those services.

If you have any questions concerning this 408(b)(2) Disclosure Document or the information provided to you concerning our services and compensation, please contact Treasury Management Client Care at 1-800-669-1518.

PNC’s fees for sweep services are disclosed below:

Type of Service

Sweep Investment Services

Description

On a daily basis, PNC will sweep uninvested cash held in your DDA to a money market fund specified by you. For more information regarding this service, please refer to your Sweep Investment Services Terms and Conditions.

Fees/Notes

Pursuant to the Agreement and the Terms and Conditions, PNC is entitled to both (i) the monthly fee, debited from the account specified in the Fee Schedule attached to the Terms and Conditions and (ii) compensation derived from the money market mutual fund (or its affiliate). PNC receives shareholder servicing fees (12b-1 fees) from various money market mutual funds (or affiliates), as disclosed in the fund prospectus. PNC also receives supplemental revenue directly from the funds equal to 5-10 basis points (0.05%-0.10%) annually paid on all balances in the fund. For more information regarding the compensation that we may receive with respect to plan investments in the money market mutual funds available under this service, please call Treasury Management Client Care at (800) 669-1518.
Rates of return for money market mutual funds can be seen on your monthly sweep investment statement.

If you did not receive the most recent version of the fund prospectus please call Treasury Management Client Care at 1-800-669-1518.

If you need a copy of your Agreement or related documents, please call Treasury Management Client Care at 1-800-669-1518.


Receipt of Gifts, Gratuities and Non-Monetary Compensation by PNC (and its affiliates)

From time to time, third-party vendors (such as mutual fund companies, insurance companies, investment consultants, recordkeepers, third-party plan administrators, etc.) may provide PNC and its Representatives with non-monetary gifts and gratuities, such as promotional items (i.e., coffee mugs, calendars or gift baskets), meals and access to certain industry-related conferences (collectively, “gifts”). PNC has implemented policies and procedures intended to identify, quantify and track gifts received by it and its Representatives. Pursuant to rules established by the Department of Labor, PNC has implemented a policy for allocating the value of a gift among multiple clients, where applicable. Under such policy, where potentially reportable compensation is received by PNC (including its Representatives) in connection with several clients, PNC will first divide the fair market value of such gift by the number of individual clients to which such gift is reasonably applicable and then allocate the result to each affected client to determine if it exceeds the de minimis threshold under the Section 408(b)(2) regulation and related and associated guidance.

Based on historic trends, PNC does not expect to receive gifts in excess of the de minimis threshold under the regulation with respect to your plan.


Account Termination Fee

Except as otherwise provided in the Master Repurchase Agreement (with respect to early termination of a repurchase agreement), there are no termination fees.


Recordkeeping Services Required Disclosure

PNC’s Treasury Management group does not provide recordkeeping services to your Plan. That would be the role of a separate provider, such as a third party administrator.
