20. Idea

21. The Idea While a “Selling Event” probably will be a very significant financial event for a business owner, will it be enough? Take monies out of business in a strategic manner prior to transaction event Create a customized solution Defined Contribution (skewed to business owner using various formulas, most notably new comp) Defined Benefit (Largest top-line deduction often available to owners but needs to be managed NOT sold!) RSG can coordinate with advisors, consultants, CPAs, attorneys… to create the supplement to transaction.

22. Case Studies

23. Case Study: Optimizing Profit Sharing Allocations Situation: Local dentist sponsored a profit sharing plan with a standard pro-rata allocation (% of pay) set-up by his accountant in the late 80’s . Complication: Maximizing the dentist contributions at the IRS individual aggregate limit ($49,000 in 2010) would required a 20% of pay contribution to all eligible employees. Result: RSG redesigned the Plan using a “cross-tested” profit sharing contribution reducing the required contribution to the staff to 5% of pay. Client saved $58,000 (25% of total contribution) in year 1. Retirement Solution Group

24. Case Study: Defined Benefit Plan – Retention Situation: Private school, was looking for a way to reward loyalty and service through a retirement plan program. Complication: IRS limits the ability to reward service in defined contribution plans through eligibility provisions (maximum of one year and two entry dates) and a maximum allowable vesting schedule (six year graded or three year cliff vesting). Result: RSG implemented a defined benefit plan with a benefit formula structured to pay and years of service – 1% of pay times years of service up to 25 (maximum benefit is 25% of pay with 25 years of service).

25. Case Study: Retirement Plans – Overlay Strategy Situation: Three person consulting company with one owner/President driving revenue and making significant monies. Complication: Asked his “advisor” how much he could put in to max out the tax deduction as his earnings were more than $1mm. He was told $11,000 was his max contribution. Result: RSG had the client terminate the SIMPLE prior to the calendar year starting anew and implemented a DC/DB combo plan driven by DB deductions. He is scheduled to receive $242,000 (approx.) in 2011 tax deduction, and 92% of total benefit. Retirement Solution Group

26. Case Study: Retirement Plans – Overlay Strategy Situation: Sole attorney in his mid-40’s with no staff was putting away $49,000/year into a profit sharing plan and was looking for increased deductions. Complication: The attorney was already maximized at the IRS individual aggregate limit for his Defined Contribution Plan (2010 limit). Result: RSG implemented a Defined Benefit Plan in addition to the Defined Contribution plan. Year 1 contributions/deductions were $111,000 under the Pension Protection Act of 2006 – over a 100% increase. Retirement Solution Group

27. Case Study: Designed Based “Carve-Out” Situation: Radiologist group had Money Purchase Plan, which they maximized to the DC limit, and had to give a flat allocation to all staff. Complication: Radiologists make a lot of money, and they needed a bigger deduction. Plus, they wanted to give a fair, but not flat, staff contribution. Result: By implementing a “Carve-Out” plan design solution we offer the senior doctors an additional $165,000 deduction via Cash Balance Plan. The 401(k)/Profit Sharing Plan is both cross tested for group allocation and for coverage testing, and lowered their average staff contribution from 10% to 7.5%. No staff or non-owners are regular participants in the Cash Balance Plan. In addition, the Cash Balance Plan is individually allocated so that each doctor can decide appropriate allocation level. Note 40% coverage. Retirement Solution Group

Core Competency, Institutional Partnership Experience Case Studies Substantial, and Unique, Value to Business Owner Idea Play Defense – Create Substantial Accounts to “Compliment Sale” Play Offense – Create A Plan With Advisors and Transaction Consultants Consultative vs. Transactional – Many factors can better or ruin a “Plan Design”
