Stellantis SESP and UAW 401(k) Savings Plans

FCA announced late in 2015 that Employee Managed Retirement Plan (EMRP) balances will be transferring to the FCA US LLC Salaried Employees' Savings Plan (SESP). This transfer will take place after 5:00 PM ET on June 15, 2016. The current holdings in the EMRP will transfer to the same investment selection in the SESP. However, there are trading restrictions you need to be mindful of if you are intending to make changes to your EMRP allocation around the time of the transfer.

Although the funds will now be in the SESP, you will continue to have the ability to view your EMRP balance as a separate portion of your 401(k) account.

If you have questions about this change or how it may impact your retirement plan or current investment allocation, contact Mainstay Capital Management toll-free at 1-866-444-6246.

Effective December 31, 2015 FCA will discontinue contributions to the Employee Managed Retirement Plan (EMRP). In lieu of these contributions, beginning January 1, 2016 FCA will make an automatic contribution to the 401(k) and set up a company match.The automatic contribution will be 3% of the annual base salary. The match will be $.50 on each dollar contributed, up to 10% of your base pay, for a maximum 5% company match.

To maximize the company match, FCA employees will need to contribute 10% of their base salary into the 401(k). If you have questions about these changes or how they will impact your retirement plan, contact Mainstay Capital Management toll-free at 1 866 444 6246.

Effective January 1, 2016 the FCA US LLC Hourly Employees’ Deferred Pay Plan (the HDPP) will be renamed to the FCA US LLC UAW Savings Plan (the “UAW Savings Plan”) in recognition that it now includes all UAW members. Unlike the HDPP, the UAW Savings Plan has an added feature that allows contributions on an after-tax basis. The UAW Savings Plan also has additional enhancements related to hardship withdrawals, bonus deferrals into the Roth, loan provisions, and company defined contributions.

If you have questions about these changes or how they will impact your retirement plan, contact Mainstay Capital Management toll-free at 1‑866‑444‑6246.

The election window for Chrysler salaried employees for the disbursement of their 2013 Performance and Leadership Management (PLM) Award into the Salaried Employees’ Savings Plan (SESP) is open for one week. All deferral elections will need to be made between January 30^th and February 6^th at 3:00 PM (EST). If eligible, participants may contribute up to 100% (less mandatory withholdings) in 1% increments.

Participants should be sure to review their current deferral election to confirm it is in line with their desired deferral for the PLM. Participants may need to make adjustments to the current election under the “Base Only” or “Total Contribution” options prior to the deadline.

Keep in mind, any deferred PLM Award will be applied toward the annual 401(k) contribution limit. The IRS limit for pre-tax contributions in 2014 is $17,500, with an additional $5,500 for participants age 50 or older. If the PLM deferral takes the participant to the contribution limit, any remaining amount will be paid in cash.

If you would like to discuss your PLM Award payment and the deferral options, do not hesitate to contact Mainstay toll-free at 1-866-444-6246.
