FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
November 2, 2006


Class action lawsuits were recently filed against the fiduciaries of several major corporations including Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, United Technologies, Caterpillar, Exelon and Northrop Grumman. The complaints, which were filed in the United States District Court Northern District of Illinois (Case number: 06CV4900; 06CV4897), cite a long list of issues regarding the fees and expense structures of the defendants’ retirement plans. Among other complaints, fiduciaries at the corporations cited are accused of:


• Charging fees and expenses to the Plans that were, or are, unreasonable and/or not incurred solely for the benefit of participants and beneficiaries of the Plans.
• Failing to inform themselves of, and understand the various methods by which vendors in

the 401(k) retirement industry collect payments and other revenues from 401(k) plans.
• Failing to establish, implement, and follow procedures to properly and prudently determine whether the fees and expenses paid by the Plans were reasonable and incurred solely for the benefit of the participants and beneficiaries of the Plans.

Please join us for a WEBINAR:

Excess Revenue: 101

At Blue Prairie Group, we like to ask the question. "Whose money is it anyway?" Driving down total plan costs and returning excess revenue to retirement plan participants is not only the right thing to do. It's a plan sponsor's fiduciary responsibility.

Please join us for our webinar: Excess Revenue :101. We’ll talk about driving down total plan costs and returning excess revenue to participants. We’ll discuss revenue sharing and you’ll learn how to recognize it in your plan.
