Ladies and Gentlemen:

Presented in this report are the results of the annual actuarial valuation of the Supplemental Legislative
Retirement Plan of Mississippi. The purpose of the valuation was to measure the Plan’s funding progress
and to determine the unfunded accrued liability amortization period beginning July 1, 2010.

The date of the valuation was June 30, 2010.

The valuation was based upon data, furnished by the Executive Director and the PERS staff, concerning
active, inactive and retired members along with pertinent financial information. The complete cooperation
of the PERS staff in furnishing materials requested is hereby acknowledged with appreciation.

Your attention is directed particularly to the presentation of contribution rates on page 1 and the
comments on page 6.

To the best of our knowledge, this report is complete and accurate. The valuation was performed by, and
under the supervision of, independent actuaries who are members of the American Academy of Actuaries
with experience in performing valuations for public retirement systems. The undersigned meet the
Qualification Standards of the American Academy of Actuaries to render the actuarial opinion contained
herein.

The valuation was prepared in accordance with the principles of practice prescribed by the Actuarial
Standards Board.

Future actuarial results may differ significantly from the current results presented in this report due to such
factors as the following: plan experience differing from that anticipated by the economic or demographic
assumptions; changes in economic or demographic assumptions; increases or decreases expected as
part of the natural operation of the methodology used for these measurements (such as the end of an
amortization period or additional cost or contribution requirements based on the plan’s funded status);
and changes in plan provisions or applicable law. Since the potential impact of such factors is outside the
scope of a normal annual actuarial valuation, an analysis of the range of results is not presented herein.

The actuarial calculations were performed by qualified actuaries according to generally accepted actuarial
procedures and methods. The calculations are based on the current provisions of the plan, and on
actuarial assumptions that are, in the aggregate, internally consistent and reasonably based on the actual
experience of the plan.

REPORT ON THE ANNUAL VALUATION OF THE
SUPPLEMENTAL LEGISLATIVE RETIREMENT PLAN OF MISSISSIPPI
PREPARED AS OF JUNE 30, 2010

SECTION I – SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL RESULTS

1. This report, prepared as of June 30, 2010, presents the results of the annual actuarial valuation of
the Plan. For convenience of reference, the principal results of the valuation and a comparison
with the preceding year’s results are summarized below. The current valuation and reported
benefits amount reflect any benefit increases granted to retirees as of July 1, 2010. We
recommend an increase in the contribution rate from 6.65% to 7.40% of active members’
compensation for the 2011/2012 fiscal year in order to keep the anticipated accrued liability
payment period within 30 years in accordance with GASB Statements 25 and 27.

SECTION IV – COMMENTS ON VALUATION

The valuation balance sheet gives the following information with respect to the funds of the Plan as of

June 30, 2010.

Total Assets

The Annuity Savings Account is the fund to which are credited contributions made by members
together with interest thereon. When a member retires, the amount of his or her accumulated
contributions is transferred from the Annuity Savings Account to the Annuity Reserve. The
Employer’s Accumulation Account is the fund to which are credited employer contributions and
investment income, and from which are paid all employer-provided benefits under the plan. The
assets credited to the Annuity Savings Account as of the valuation date, which represent the
accumulated contributions of members to that date, amounted to $2,509,183. The assets
credited to the Annuity Reserve were $1,233,305 and the assets credited to the Employer’s
Accumulation Account totaled $9,498,512. Current actuarial assets as of the valuation date
equaled the sum of these three funds, $13,241,000. Future member contributions to the Annuity
Savings Account were valued to be $1,528,527. Prospective contributions to the Employer’s
Accumulation Account were calculated to be $5,970,025 of which $2,129,747 is attributable to
service rendered after the valuation date (normal contributions) and $3,840,278 is attributable to
service rendered before the valuation date (unfunded accrued liability contributions).

Therefore, the balance sheet shows the present value of current and future assets of the Plan to
be $20,739,552 as of June 30, 2010.

Total Liabilities

The present value of benefits payable on account of presently retired members and beneficiaries
totaled $8,777,175 as of the valuation date. The present value of future benefit payments on
behalf of active members amounted to $10,975,916. In addition, the present value of benefits for
inactive members, due to service rendered before the valuation date, was calculated to be
$986,461.

Therefore, the balance sheet shows the present value for all prospective benefit payments under
the Plan to be $20,739,552 as of June 30, 2010.

Section 25-11-307(1) of State law requires that active members contribute 3.00% of annual compensation
to the Plan.

Section 25-11-307(2) requires that the State contribute a certain percentage of the annual compensation
of members to cover the normal contributions and a certain percentage to cover the accrued liability
contributions of the Plan. These individual contribution percentages are established in accordance with
an actuarial valuation. We recommend the sum of these normal and accrued liability contributions
increase from 6.65% to 7.40% of the annual compensation of all members. The amortization period of
the unfunded accrued liability of the Plan is therefore calculated on an open-ended basis.

SECTION V – DERIVATION OF EXPERIENCE GAINS AND LOSSES

Actual experience will never (except by coincidence) coincide exactly with assumed experience. It is

assumed that gains and losses will be in balance over a period of years, but sizable year to year

fluctuations are common. Detail on the derivation of the experience gain/(loss) for the year ended

June 30, 2010 is shown below.

$ Thousands

(1) UAAL* as of June 30, 2009 $ 3,148.9

(2) Normal cost from last valuation 264.6

(3) Actual employer contributions 446.0

(4) Interest accrual: (1) x .080 + [[(2) – (3)] x .0392] 244.8

(5) Expected UAAL before changes: (1) + (2) – (3) + (4) 3,212.3

(6) Change due to plan amendments 0.0

(7) Change due to actuarial assumptions or methods 0.0

SECTION VI – REQUIRED CONTRIBUTION RATES

The valuation balance sheet gives the basis for determining the percentage rates for contributions to be

made by employers to the Retirement Plan. The following table shows the rates of contribution payable

by employers as determined from the present valuation for the 2011/2012 fiscal year.

Contribution for Contributions Expressed as Percents of Payroll

Normal Cost:
Service retirement benefits 6.27%
Disability benefits 0.31
Survivor benefits 0.53
Total 7.11%

Member Contributions: 3.00%


Less future refunds (0.07)
Available for benefits 2.93%

Employer Normal Cost 4.18%

Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liabilities


(29.7 year level % of payroll amortization*) 3.22

Total Computed Employer Contribution Rate 7.40%

*Amortization period a year ago was 26.2 years.

The components of the change in the computed unfunded accrued liability amortization period from 26.2

years to 29.7 years are as follows:

Previous Reported Period 26.2 years

Change due to:


Normal amortization (1.0)
Actuarial experience 3.9
Assumption changes 0.0
Plan amendments 0.0
Method change 0.0
UAL contribution experience 0.6

Computed Period 29.7 years

SECTION VII – CASH FLOW PROJECTION

Regular actuarial valuations measure the Retirement Plan’s present financial position and contributions

adequacy by calculating and financing the liabilities created by the present benefit program. This process

involves discounting to present values the future benefit payments on behalf of present active and retired

members and their survivors. However, valuations do not produce information regarding future changes

in the makeup of the covered group or the amounts of benefits to be paid or investment income to be

received – actuarial projections do.

Whereas valuations provide a snapshot of the retirement plan as of a given date, projections provide a

moving picture. Projected active and retired groups are developed from year to year by the application of

assumptions regarding pre-retirement withdrawal from service, retirements, deaths, disabilities, and the

addition of new members. Projected information regarding the retired life group leads to assumed future

benefit payout. Combining future benefit payments with assumed contributions and expected investment

earnings produces the net cash flow of the Plan each year, and thus end of year asset levels.

Projections are used for many purposes. Among them are (i) developing cash flow patterns for

investment policy and asset mix consideration, (ii) exploring the effect of alternative assumptions about

future experience, (iii) analyzing the impact on plan funding progress of changes in the workforce, and (iv)

examining the potential effect of changes in benefits on plan financial activity.

Projection results are useful in demonstrating changing relationships among key elements affecting plan

financial activity. For example: how benefits payable and plan assets will grow in future decades.

Projections are not predictions of specific future events and do not provide numeric precision in absolute

terms. For instance, cash flow projected to occur 10 years in the future will not be exact (except by

coincidence), but understanding the changed relationship between future benefit payout and future

investment income can be very useful.

The Actuarial Valuation of Assets recognizes assumed investment income (line E3) fully each year. Differences between actual and assumed investment income (line E4) are phased in over a closed 5 year period.
During periods when investment performance exceeds the assumed rate, Actuarial Value of Assets will tend to be less than market value. During periods when investm ent performance is less than the assumed rate,
Actuarial Value of Assets will tend to be greater than market value. If assumed rat es are exactly realized for 4 consecutive years, actuarial value will become equal to market value.

WITHDRAWAL AND VESTING: 15% in an election year, none in a non-election year.

SERVICE RETIREMENT: 25% in an election year, none in a non-election year. All members are
assumed to retire no later than age 75.

It is assumed that a member will be granted 2.5 years of service credit for unused leave at termination of
employment.

PRICE INFLATION: 3.50% per annum, compounded annually.

PAYROLL GROWTH: 4.25% per annum, compounded annually.

SALARY INCREASES: 4.50% per annum, for all ages. The merit and seniority component is 0.25% and
the wage inflation component is 4.25%.

DEATH AFTER RETIREMENT: The mortality table, for post-retirement mortality, used in evaluating
allowances to be paid was the 1994 Group Annuity Mortality Table. Special tables were used for the
period after disability retirement. This assumption is used to measure the probabilities of each benefit
payment being made after retirement.

MARRIAGE ASSUMPTION: 85% married with the husband three years older than his wife.

VALUATION METHOD: Entry age normal cost method. Entry age is established on an individual basis.

ASSET VALUATION METHOD: Actuarial value, as developed in Schedule A. The actuarial value of
assets recognizes a portion of the difference between the market value of assets and the expected
market value of assets, based on the assumed valuation rate of return. The amount recognized each
year is 20% of the difference between market value and expected market value.

of any member who retires and has attained age
60 and completed at least eight years* of
membership service under PERS, or has
completed at least 25 years of creditable service
under PERS.

(b) Any member who withdraws from service prior


to his or her attainment of age 60 and who has
completed at least eight years* of ,membership
service under PERS is entitled to receive, in lieu
of a refund of his or her accumulated
contributions, a retirement allowance
commencing at age 60.

(c) Upon the death of a member who has


completed at least eight years* of membership
service under PERS, a benefit is payable, in lieu
of a refund of the member’s accumulated
contributions, to his or her spouse, if said
spouse has been married to the member for not
less than one year.

* four years for those who entered PERS before


July 1, 2007.

Amount of Allowance The annual retirement allowance payable to a member


who retires under condition (a) above is equal to:

1. A member’s annuity which is the actuarial


equivalent of the member’s accumulated
contributions at the time of his or her retirement,
plus

2. An employer’s annuity which, together with the


member’s annuity, is equal to 1% of his or her
average compensation for each of the first 25
years of creditable service plus 1.25% for each
year of creditable service over 25 years.

The minimum allowance is $60 per year of creditable


service.

The annual retirement allowance payable to the spouse


of a member who dies under condition (c) above is equal
to the greater of (i) the allowance that would have been
payable had the member retired and elected Option 2,
reduced by 3% per year for each year the member
lacked in qualifying for unreduced retirement benefits, or
(ii) a benefit equal to the greater of 10% of average
compensation or $25 per month.

Page 26
In addition, a benefit is payable to dependent children
until age 19 (23 if a full time student). The benefit is
equal to the greater of 5% of average compensation or
$25 per month for each dependent child up to 3.
Disability Retirement

Condition for Retirement A retirement allowance is paid to a member who is


totally and permanently disabled, as determined by the
Board of Trustees, and has accumulated eight or more
years* of membership service under PERS.

* four years for those who entered PERS before


July 1, 2007.

Amount of Allowance For those who were active members prior to July 1,
1992, and did not elect the benefit structure outlined
below, the annual disability retirement allowance
payable is equal to a superannuation retirement
allowance if the member has attained age 60, otherwise
it is equal to a superannuation retirement allowance
calculated as follows:

1. A member’s annuity equal to the actuarial


equivalent of his or her accumulated
contributions at the time of retirement, plus

2. An employer’s annuity equal to the amount that


would have been payable had the member
continued in service to age 60.

For those who become active members after June 30,


1992, and for those who were active members prior to
July 1, 1992, who so elected, the following benefits are
payable:

1. A temporary allowance equal to the greater of


(a) 20% of average compensation plus 5% for
each dependent child up to a maximum of 2, or
(b) the member’s accrued allowance. This
temporary allowance is paid for a period of time
based on the member’s age at disability, as
follows:

Age at Disability Duration


60 and earlier to age 65
61 to age 66
62 to age 66
63 to age 67
64 to age 67
65 to age 68
66 to age 68
67 to age 69
68 to age 70
69 and later one year

The minimum allowance is $60 per year of


service credit.
Page 27
2. A deferred allowance commencing when the
temporary allowance ceases equal to the
greater of (a) the allowance the member would
have received based on service to the
termination age of the temporary allowance, but
not more than 20% of average compensation, or
(b) the member’s accrued allowance.

The minimum allowance is $60 per year of


service credit.

Effective July 1, 2004, a temporary benefit can


be paid out of a member’s accumulated
contribution balance while the member is
awaiting a determination for eligibility for
disability benefits. Future disability payments, if
any, would be offset by advanced payments
made from the member’s accumulated
contributions.

Accidental Disability Retirement

Condition for Retirement A retirement allowance is paid to a member who is


totally and permanently disabled in the line of
performance of duty.

Amount of Allowance The annual accidental disability retirement allowance is


equal to the allowance payable on disability retirement
but not less than 25% of average compensation. There
is no minimum benefit.

Accidental Death Benefit

Condition for Benefit A retirement allowance is paid to a spouse and/or


dependent children upon the death of an active member
in the line of performance of duty.

Amount of Allowance The annual retirement allowance is equal to 25% of


average compensation payable to the spouse and 12-
1/2% of average compensation payable to one
dependent child or 25% to two or more children until age
19 (23 if a full time student). There is no minimum
benefit.

Return of Contributions Upon the withdrawal of a member without a retirement


benefit, his or her contributions are returned to him or
her, together with accumulated regular interest thereon.

Upon the death of a member before retirement, his or


her contributions, together with the full accumulated
regular interest thereon, are paid to his or her
designated beneficiary, if any, otherwise, to his or her
estate provided no other survivor benefits are payable.

Page 28
Normal Form of Benefit The normal form of benefit is an allowance payable
during the life of the member with the provision that upon
his or her death the excess of his or her total
contributions at the time of retirement over the total
retirement annuity paid to him or her will be paid to his or
her designated beneficiary.

Optional Benefits A member upon retirement may elect to receive his or


her allowance in one of the following forms which are
computed to be actuarially equivalent to the applicable
retirement allowance.

Option 1. Reduced allowance with the provision that if


the pensioner dies before he receives the value of the
member’s annuity as it was at the time of retirement, the
balance shall be paid to his or her beneficiary.

Option 2. Upon his or her death, his or her reduced


retirement allowance shall be continued throughout the
life of, and paid to, his or her beneficiary.

Option 3. Upon his or her death, 50% of his or her


reduced retirement allowance shall be continued
throughout the life of, and paid to, a designated
beneficiary and the other 50% of his or her reduced
retirement allowance to some other designated
beneficiary.

Option 4A. Upon his or her death, 50% of his of her


reduced retirement allowance shall be continued
throughout the life of, and paid to, a designated
beneficiary.

Option 4B. A reduced retirement allowance shall be


continued throughout the life of the pensioner, but with
the further guarantee of payment to the pensioner or his
or her beneficiary for a specified number of years
certain.

Option 4C. A member may elect any option with the


added provision that the member shall receive, so far as
possible, the same total amount annually (considering
both SLRP and Social Security benefits) before and after
the earliest age at which the member becomes eligible
for a Social Security benefit. This option was only
available to those who retired prior to July 1, 2004.

If a member elects either Option 2 or Option 4A there is


an added provision that in the event the designated
beneficiary predeceases the member, the retirement
allowance payable to the member after the designated
beneficiary’s death shall be equal to the retirement
allowance which would have been payable had the
member not elected the option.

Page 29
A member who has at least 28 years of creditable
service* under PERS can select a partial lump-sum
option at retirement. Under this option, the retiree has
the option of taking a partial lump-sum distribution equal
to either 12, 24, or 36 times the base maximum monthly
benefit. With each lump-sum amount, the base
maximum monthly benefit will be actuarially reduced. A
member selecting the partial lump-sum option may also
select any of the regular options except Option 1, the
prorated single-life annuity, and Option 4-C, the Social
Security leveling provision. The benefit is then
calculated using the new reduced maximum benefit as a
starting point in applying the appropriate option factors
for the reduction.

*or at least age 63 with four years of membership


service for those who entered PERS before July 1, 2007.

Post-Retirement Adjustments
In Allowances The allowances of retired members are adjusted
annually by an amount equal to (a) 3% of the annual
retirement allowance for each full fiscal year of
retirement prior to the year in which the member reaches
age 55, plus (b) 3% compounded for each year
thereafter beginning with the fiscal year in which the
member turns age 55; provided, however, that the
annual adjustment will not be less than 4% of the annual
retirement allowance for each full fiscal year in
retirement through June 30, 1998.

A prorated portion of the annual adjustment will be paid


to the member, beneficiary, or estate of any member or
beneficiary who is receiving the annual adjustment in a
lump sum, but whose benefits are terminated between
July 1 and December 1.

CONTRIBUTIONS

Members currently contribute 3.00% of covered earnings. The employer contributes that additional

amount necessary to fund the benefits outlined above on a full actuarial reserve funding basis.

GLOSSARY

Actuarial Accrued Liability. The difference between (i) the actuarial present value of future plan benefits,
and (ii) the actuarial present value of future normal cost. Sometimes referred to as “accrued liability” or
“past service liability”.

Accrued Service. The service credited under the plan which was rendered before the date of the
actuarial valuation.

Actuarial Assumptions. Estimates of future plan experience with respect to rates of mortality, disability,
turnover, retirement, rate or rates of investment income and salary increases. Decrement assumptions
(rates of mortality, disability, turnover and retirement) are generally based on past experience, often
modified for projected changes in conditions. Economic assumptions (salary increases and investment
income) consist of an underlying rate in an inflation-free environment plus a provision for a long-term
average rate of inflation.

Actuarial Cost Method. A mathematical budgeting procedure for allocating the dollar amount of the
“actuarial present value of future plan benefits” between the actuarial present value of future normal cost
and the actuarial accrued liability. Sometimes referred to as the “actuarial funding method”.

Actuarial Equivalent. A series of payments is called on actuarial equivalent of another series of payments
if the two series have the same actuarial present value.

Actuarial Present Value. The amount of funds presently required to provide a payment or series of
payments in the future. It is determined by discounting the future payments at a predetermined rate of
interest, taking into account the probability of payment.

Amortization. Paying off an interest-bearing liability by means of periodic payments of interest and
principal, as opposed to paying it off with a lump sum payment.

Experience Gain (Loss). A measure of the difference between actual experience and that expected
based upon a set of actuarial assumptions during the period between two actuarial valuation dates, in
accordance with the actuarial cost method being used.

Normal Cost. The annual cost assigned, under the actuarial funding method, to current and subsequent
plan years. Sometimes referred to as “current service cost”. Any payment toward the unfunded actuarial
accrued liability is not part of the normal cost.

Reserve Account. An account used to indicate that funds have been set aside for a specific purpose and
are not generally available for other uses.

Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability. The difference between the actuarial accrued liability and valuation
assets. Sometimes referred to as “unfunded accrued liability”.

Valuation Assets. The value of current plan assets recognized for valuation purposes. Generally based
on book value plus a portion of unrealized appreciation or depreciation.
