Changes to the University of Texas Retirement Program Investment Lineup
Dear University of Texas System Retirement Program participant:
You are receiving this letter because you have all or part of your plan account balance in a funding option
that will no longer be available for new contributions or transfers on and after November 15, 2011
through the UT System Retirement Program.
The University of Texas (UT) System Retirement Program and MetLife Resources are dedicated to
helping you plan for the future you want. As part of that commitment, UT regularly monitors the funding
options according to established criteria that include (but are not limited to) overall performance
objectives, fees, fund management, and fit within the line-up. The goal is to maintain an array of funding
options to help you diversify your account according to your individual retirement planning needs, while
offering an appropriate number that can be effectively monitored.
We are pleased to announce, on behalf of UT, that as a result of its latest review, UT has introduced a
streamlined fund line-up with competitively performing funds and competitive fees that provides you an
array of quality funds across the risk spectrum while making it easier for you to select the funding options
that best fit your individual situation. These changes will occur on November 15, 2011.
The details of the changes are outlined in the follow pages. Not all funding options listed in the charts will
apply to you. Also, there are funding options available under the UT System Retirement Program that
are not affected. To review a complete list of Program funding options and your exact plan account
holdings, log in to your MetLife website at www.metlife.com/uts or call Client Service at 1-800-236-8489.
IMPORTANT: Actions to Consider
 If you are satisfied with how your contributions will be redirected on and after November 15, then
you do not need to take any action. However, if you would like to change how your future
contributions will be redirected, then you must update your contribution allocation no later than
3pm CST on November 14, 2011. After this date and time, you will still have the ability to change
the direction of your future contributions, but some contributions may be redirected depending on
when you notify us.
 You may transfer any part of your plan account balance into any funding option that is available
through November 14, 2011, but, on and after November 15, 2011, you will not be permitted to
transfer any part of your plan account balance into any funding option that will no longer be
available.
 Any part of your plan account balance that you have in any funding option that will no longer be
available on and after November 15, 2011, will remain in that funding option. However, you may
transfer any part of your plan account balance out of those funding options on and after
November 15, 2011, into any funding option that is available on and after that date .
 You may wish to take this opportunity to contact your MetLife representative in order to review
your overall retirement plan allocations and goals. Please see the attached list of
representatives.
For additional information about your UT System Retirement Program fund offerings or for assistance
with making any fund changes, please contact MetLife Client Services at 1-800-236-8489 or log onto the
MetLife website at www.metlife.com/uts.
Sincerely,
MetLife Resources
Variable annuities are offered by prospectus only, which is available from your registered
representative. You should carefully consider the product's features, risks, charges and
expenses, and the investment objectives, risks and policies of any underlying portfolios, as well
as other information about any underlying funding options. This and other information is
available in the prospectus, which you should read carefully before investing. Product availability
and features may vary by state. Any annuity product guarantees are based on the financial
strength and claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company.
Variable annuities are long-term investment vehicles designed for retirement purposes. Like most
annuity contracts, MetLife contracts contain withdrawal charges, limitations, exclusions, holding periods,
termination provisions and terms for keeping them in force. Contact your MetLife representative for costs
and complete details. There is no guarantee that any of the variable investment options will meet their
stated goals or objectives. The account value is subject to market fluctuations so that, when annuitized or
withdrawn, it may be worth more or less than its original value.
Annuity contracts contain exclusions, limitations, exceptions, reductions of benefits, waiting periods and
terms for keeping them in force. Please contact a MetLife representative for costs and complete details.
Mutual Funds are sold by prospectus, which is available from your registered representative.
Mutual fund companies assess certain fees and expenses. MetLife and/or its affiliates receive
fees from the mutual fund families or an affiliate for providing certain administrative, distribution
and recordkeeping services. For more information regarding fees, please read each mutual fund
prospectus carefully. Please carefully consider investment objectives, risks, charges and
expenses before investing. For this and other information about any mutual fund investment,
please obtain a prospectus and read it carefully before you invest. Investment return and
principal will fluctuate with changes in market conditions, such that shares may be worth more or
less than their original cost when redeemed. Diversification cannot eliminate the risk of
investment losses, and past mutual fund performance is not a guarantee of future results.
MetLife Resources is a division of Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (MLIC), 200 Park Avenue, New
York, NY 10166. Securities, including variable products, offered by MetLife Securities, Inc. (MSI)
(member FINRA/SIPC), 1095 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10036. MLIC and MSI are MetLife
