Following the close of business on March 16, 2016, any balances you have in and any future contributions to:
·
the State Street Target Retirement Fund(s) Class C will be automatically transferred to the corresponding State Street Target Retirement Fund(s) Class K; and
·
the Delaware Diversified Income Trust Fee Class 45 (CIT) will be automatically transferred to the Delaware Diversified Income Trust Fee Class 40 (CIT).

You do not need to make any changes to your Plan account as a result of these changes. However, you may wish to review your current investment selections to ensure they are right for you.

If you wish to review your current allocations or obtain general information about the Plan, visit the Lincoln Alliance® website at www.lincolnfinancial.com, or call the Lincoln Financial Customer Service Center at 800-234-3500.

The performance data quoted above represents past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results.  Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so your account balance, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than your original cost.  Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.  An investor should consider the investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses of the investment option carefully before investing.


This Summary of Material Modifications contains important information about the Plan and should be kept with your Summary Plan Description/Prospectus.
