Dear University of Houston System 403(b) Participant, The University of Houston System Retirement Committee is pleased to announce an enhancement to the Tax Sheltered Annuity (TSA) 403(b) plan and Optional Retirement Plan (ORP). Effective April 25, 2017, the Tax Sheltered Annuity and Optional Retirement Plan will transition to a mutual fund investment platform. Your current assets will remain invested in the annuity investment program, but all future contributions will be directed to the new mutual fund investment platform. The decision to provide this enhancement was determined after an extensive review by the University of Houston System Retirement Committee concerning our current annuity platform and investment options. After assessing multiple factors, including but not limited to, fees, expenses, platform flexibility and performance orientation, the Committee recommended we change our investment elections to mutual funds. The new mutual fund platform offers you potentially lower fees, an enhanced lineup of investments and additional asset categories. Enclosed you will find a list of "Frequently Asked Questions," a "Fund Lineup" and a “Mapping Schedule” to help you better understand the change and impact to your retirement plan. Some of the benefits of the new mutual fund platform include, but are not limited to, the following:
Array of investment options from well-known mutual fund companies
Reduction in the investment option expenses
Continued personal face-to-face services including financial planning and investment education
Secure account access 24 hours a day, seven days a week at VALIC.com/UHS or by our toll-free interactive telephone service at 1-800-448-2542
Ongoing account statements with complete account and investment summaries
You have the option of converting your annuity account to your new mutual fund account. If you choose to convert your current annuity assets, simply complete an Asset Conversion Form. Some restrictions may apply. Please feel free to call your VALIC financial advisor for assistance or answers to your questions. Quiet period
During the transition process, your account information will automatically transfer from the annuity platform to the new mutual fund platform. This time frame is commonly referred to as a “quiet period,” as you will be unable to access your account(s) to make transactions, including the ability to direct or diversify your investments, obtain a loan and/or distribution from the retirement plan(s). Please refer to the enclosed "Mapping Schedule" to learn how contributions to your current investment options in the annuity platform will transfer to the new mutual fund platform, unless you have selected a different allocation for your ongoing contributions before the quiet period begins.
The quiet period begins at 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 19, 2017. Transactions will be accepted
and processed until this time.
The quiet period ends at midnight (12:00 a.m.) on Tuesday, April 25, 2017.
Once your account is converted to the new mutual fund platform, you can access your account information or request a change to your investment election on VALIC.com/UHS or by calling 1-800-448-2542. This toll-free number can also connect you with a Customer Service Representative available Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. (CT). Please carefully consider how this transition and quiet period may affect your retirement planning, as well as your overall financial plan. We encourage you to meet with one of our dedicated financial advisors with questions. They are available to answer your questions related to this conversion, and can assist you in reviewing your account and choosing the appropriate asset allocation for your investments.

Frequently Asked Questions & AnswersThe following questions and answers are offered to help you understand the upcoming changes to the University of Houston TSA 403(b)
and ORP retirement plans.
Why has the decision been made to add the new mutual-fund-based program?
The decision to provide this enhancement was determined after an extensive review of our current annuity platform and investment
options by the University of Houston Retirement Committee and its consultant, The Multnomah Group. The new mutual fund platform
offers you potentially lower fees, an enhanced lineup of investments and additional asset categories, including target date funds.
Do I need to do anything with my existing TSA 403(b) or ORP account?
No action is required of you. Your new account(s) will be set up on the new mutual fund platform automatically based on the
Mapping Schedule provided, unless you change your current contribution allocation flowing to the annuity platform. Your account
balances will remain unchanged, but you can transfer your accumulations to the new investment menu at any time should you wish
to do so.
How will my contributions be invested?
Contributions will be “mapped” from the investment elections in your annuity investment program to investments with “like” objectives
in the mutual-fund-based program, unless you make a new election before the quiet period. The amount and percent you are currently
contributing to the annuity investment program will be deposited to the mutual-fund-based program starting with the first payroll
following the “go-live” date of April 25, 2017. Contributions will no longer flow to the annuity investment program after that time.
What is investment “mapping”?
Your account will be transitioned to the new investment options through a process called “mapping.” Fund mapping is the transfer
of your contributions from the existing investment options to similar options available in the new mutual fund lineup. This transition
should be complete by the “go-live” date of April 25, 2017. Accumulation in your annuity-based program will not be transitioned unless
you request it and complete the necessary form.
The objective of the mapping process is to identify investment options under the new mutual fund platform that have similar risk and
potential reward characteristics as the current annuity options. Funds for the new mutual fund lineup were selected with the following
in mind: investment style, risk profile, sector holdings, asset class and long-term performance potential. The enclosed Mapping Schedule
illustrates how each investment option within the current annuity platform will be mapped to the new mutual fund platform.

Every effort has been made to provide an accurate summary of such benefits.

What criteria were considered in determining the new investment options on the mutual fund platform?
The investments were evaluated using a wide range of industry standard metrics including:
What enhancements does the new mutual fund platform offer?
The new mutual fund platform offers you potentially lower fees, an enhanced lineup of investments and additional asset categories,
including target date funds. You can choose from a wide selection of mutual funds to create an investment portfolio in alignment
with your needs. Some benefits of the mutual-fund-based program include the following:
What is the “quiet period” and what effect does it have on my account?
During the transition process, your account information will automatically transfer from the annuity platform to the new mutual
fund platform. This time frame is commonly referred to as a quiet period, as you will be unable to access your account(s) to make
transactions, including the ability to direct or diversify your investments, obtain a loan and/or distribution from the retirement plan(s).
• The quiet period begins at 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 19, 2017. Transactions will be accepted and processed until this time
• The quiet period ends at midnight (12:00 a.m.) on Tuesday, April 25, 2017
Once your account is converted to the new mutual fund platform, you can access your account information or request a change
to your investment election at VALIC.com/UHS or by calling 1-800-448-2542. This toll-free number can also connect you with a
Customer Service Representative available Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. (CT).
Today may be a good time to consider the appropriateness of your current investments. You can change your account and contribution
allocations before the quiet period begins or after the transition with VALIC is complete.
When and how can I transfer my existing VALIC annuity account assets to my new mutual fund account?
You may elect to convert (transfer) your existing annuity account assets to your new mutual fund account at any time on a quarterly
basis after Tuesday, April 25, 2017 by completing a VALIC Asset Conversion Form. Please contact your local financial advisor with any
questions or for help completing the form.

Must I move my existing VALIC annuity account assets to the new mutual-fund-based program?
No, you can elect to leave your existing assets in the current annuity program or convert your account to the new mutual-
fund-based program. However, if you choose to convert your existing annuity assets to the mutual-fund-based program, you
must move the entire account value; partial transfers are not allowed.
What will happen to my existing annuity assets?
Existing assets in your annuity account cannot be moved unless you make that decision. Annuity account assets will remain unaffected
unless or until you make the election to transfer to the new mutual-fund-based program by completing the Asset Conversion Form.
Are loans available under the mutual fund platform?
Yes. Loans are currently allowed by the plan. A one-time fee of $50 will be charged as an initial setup cost with a $50 annual fee
assessed for administration of each loan. Repayments are made by Automated Clearing House (ACH) debit agreement from your
personal checking or savings account. At the time you request a loan, you will also be asked to complete an ACH debit agreement.
All loan interest repaid will be credited to your account.
Can I transfer to the mutual-fund-based program if I currently have an annuity loan?
Yes, all available annuity account balances, except outstanding loan balances, will be available to transfer to the new mutual-fund-
based program by completing the Asset Conversion Form. Outstanding annuity loans will not be transferred to the mutual-fund-based
program. Your loan repayments will continue to be paid via ACH under the annuity program. Once annuity loans are paid in full, you
may submit an Asset Conversion Form if you choose to transfer the remaining loan payments received by the annuity account to the
mutual-fund-based program.
How can I access my account with VALIC?
You can access your account 24 hours a day, seven days a week by visiting VALIC.com/UHS or by calling our automated toll-free
telephone service at 1-800-448-2542. This number can also connect you with a Client Service Representative Monday through Friday

VALIC will mail account statements to your address on record no later than 15 business days after each calendar quarter. These account
statements will include helpful information about your account balance, your investment elections, and transaction history for all of
your accounts with VALIC.

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance stated due to recent market volatility. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Investment values will fluctuate and there is no assurance that the objective of any fund will be achieved. Mutual fund shares are redeemable at the then-current net asset value, which may be more or less than their original cost.

The target date is the
approximate date when investors plan to start withdrawing their money. The fund will gradually shift its emphasis from more aggressive investments to more conservative ones based on its target date.

You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the Fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the Fund at any time.
The 7-day Yield more closely reflects the current earnings of the money market fund than does the total average annual return. Yields are historical and past performance does not guarantee future results.

• Generally, higher potential returns involve greater risk and short-term volatility. For example, small-cap, mid-cap, sector and emerging funds can experience significant price fluctuation due to business risks and adverse political developments.
• International and global funds can experience price fluctuation due to changing market conditions, currency values, and economic and political climates.
• High-yield bond funds, which invest in bonds that have lower ratings, typically experience price fluctuation and a greater risk of loss of principal and income than when investing directly in U.S. government securities such as U.S. Treasury bonds and bills, which are guaranteed by the government for repayment of principal and interest if held to maturity. Fund shares are not insured and are not backed by the U.S. government, and their value and yield will vary with market conditions.
• Interest rates and bond prices typically move inversely to each other; therefore, as with any bond fund, the value of an investment in this fund may go up if interest rates fall, and vice versa.
• Mortgage-related funds’ underlying mortgages are more likely to be prepaid during periods of declining interest rates, which could hurt the fund’s share price or yield and may be prepaid more slowly during periods of rapidly rising interest rates, which might lengthen the fund’s expected maturity.
• Investors should carefully assess the risks associated with an investment in the fund.
The Fixed-Interesest Option from VALIC features interest rate guarantees that include: (i) a lifetime minimum interest rate of 1.00% set at the time the contract is issued; (ii) an annual crediting rate of 1.00% for calendar year 2017; and (iii) in the company’s discretion, a current crediting rate, declared no more frequently than every 90 days, and equal to or greater than the annual crediting rate. Each rate is credited on a daily basis at an annual effective rate and uses a portfolio interest crediting method in which all deposits, as well as credited interest, receive the same crediting rate regardless of date of deposit. The VALIC interest-crediting policy is subject to change, but any changes will not reduce the current rate below the contractually guaranteed minimum or money already credited to the account.
All guarantees are backed by the claims-paying ability of The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company.
Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, fees, charges and expenses before investing. This and other important information is contained in the prospectus, which can be obtained from your financial professional or at www.valic.com/uhs. You can also request a copy by calling 1-800-428-2542. Read the prospectuses carefully before investing.

You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the Fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the Fund at any time.
• Generally, higher potential returns involve greater risk and short-term volatility. For example, small-cap, mid-cap, sector and emerging funds can experience significant price fluctuation due to business risks and adverse political developments.
• International and global funds can experience price fluctuation due to changing market conditions, currency values, and economic and political climates.
• High-yield bond funds, which invest in bonds that have lower ratings, typically experience price fluctuation and a greater risk of loss of principal and income than when investing directly in U.S. government securities such as U.S. Treasury bonds and bills, which are guaranteed by the government for repayment of principal and interest if held to maturity. Fund shares are not insured and are not backed by the U.S. government, and their value and yield will vary with market conditions.
• Interest rates and bond prices typically move inversely to each other; therefore, as with any bond fund, the value of an investment in this fund may go up if interest rates fall, and vice versa.
• Mortgage-related funds’ underlying mortgages are more likely to be prepaid during periods of declining interest rates, which could hurt the fund’s share price or yield and may be prepaid more slowly during periods of rapidly rising interest rates, which might lengthen the fund’s expected maturity.
• Investors should carefully assess the risks associated with an investment in the fund.
Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, fees, charges and expenses before investing. This and other important information is contained in the prospectus, which can be obtained from your financial professional or at www.valic.com/UHS. You can also request a copy by calling 1-800-428-2542. Read the prospectuses carefully before investing.
Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Investment values will fluctuate and there is no assurance that the objective of any fund will be achieved. Mutual fund shares are redeemable at the then-current net asset value, which may be more or less than their original cost.
