Effective July 1, 2014, the Schlumberger Retirement and Savings Program will move from your current providers to Sun Life Financial.

The move consolidates your plans under one Retirement and Savings Program and offers you new fund options, some new ways to save at work, state-of the-art technology to help you plan effectively, and competitive investment fees on your voluntary accounts. Schlumberger continues to pay the fees on your Defined Contribution Pension Plan (DCPP) and Deferred Profit Sharing Plan (DPSP). Your comprehensive Retirement and Savings Program includes:

• DCPP—Schlumberger makes a basic contribution equal to 2% of your admissible compensation, and a 100% match on contributions up to 3%. Your current employee contribution rate remains in place

• DPSP—Schlumberger makes a discretionary, annual contribution

• Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) and Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP)—Voluntary, non-matched, no company contributions

• New online planning tools and calculators

This brochure gives you information about the move, including a checklist of next steps on page 13.

A WARM WELCOMEA representative from Sun Life Financial will give you a welcome call in July or August to help get you started and guide you through your Schlumberger Retirement and Savings Program, including your new investment options.

Need help? Give the Sun Life Financial Customer Care Centre a call at 1-866-733-8612 with any questions about your Program or the transition to Sun Life, any business day between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. MT.

CAN YOU AFFORD NOT TO?

If you don’t contribute to the Schlumberger Retirement and Savings Program, you’re

missing out on free money! When you invest in your DCPP, Schlumberger will match your

contributions. Company matching is one of the most simple and powerful tools you can

use to build your wealth through your workplace plan.

If you don’t contribute, you are missing out on company matching. A good question to ask

yourself is: “Can I afford not to?” Make sure you maximize the company match. Don’t leave

free money on the table.

*


SECTION 1: IT’S YOUR MOVE… IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW

1. Your current DCPP payroll deduction rate will continue automatically—no action is required by you, except investment selection.

2. Your accounts at your legacy provider will be transferred to Sun Life Financial on the date listed in Table 1— see page 4.

3. To make your investment selections, you’ll need to register on mysunlife.ca/Schlumberger, beginning May 26, 2014. For a step-by-step guide on how to register, look at the FAQ on Enrollment Central at http://www.slb-benefits.ca/ or the NAM RSC site at http://www.hub.slb.com/display/index.do?id=id3259045.

4. You can make your new investment fund decisions at any time, but if you want your instructions to be effective from July 1, you will need to do it between May 26 and June 18. See Section 5 of this brochure for more details.

5. If you do not make an investment selection by June 18, your money will be placed into the Sun Life Financial Granite™ Target Date Segregated Fund closest to, but not exceeding, your 65th birthday. This is the Schlumberger default fund.

Example: If you are aged 35 in 2014, your default fund has a maturity date closest to, but not exceeding, 2044, i.e. the year you turn 65. This would be the Granite™ 2040 fund.

You can change your investments at any time after your account has moved to Sun Life Financial.

Questions? You will be able to access one-on-one personal advice about your investments through my investment advice, a service available through the Sun Life Financial Customer Care Centre at 1-866-733-8612.

6. You will be required to submit a new beneficiary form for each of your retirement and savings accounts at Sun Life Financial. This is a legislative requirement. You can access these forms online at mysunlife.ca/Schlumberger—Select my financial centre>Quick Links>Beneficiary info—or complete and return the forms included in this brochure to the address shown on the form.

7. Your legacy accounts will now be consolidated in one location. Although you will be automatically enrolled if you previously had a TFSA or RRSP, you will still need to set up payroll deductions to contribute to these plans at Sun Life Financial. Simply sign in to mysunlife.ca/Schlumberger, then select my financial centre>Requests>Contribute.

If your RRSP is with HSBC, you have the option of leaving your account with HSBC or transferring it to Sun Life Financial to consolidate your accounts. You can move your funds at any time on or after July 1. If you want to transfer your account to Sun Life Financial, you will have to complete a T2033 transfer form. You can contact the Sun Life Financial Customer Care Centre at 1-866-733-8612 to obtain a copy of this form or you can visit http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/E/pbg/tf/t2033/.

If you are interested in saving more through a voluntary plan that you did not previously have with a legacy provider, e.g., a TFSA or RRSP, you can start now by enrolling in the plan online. Visit mysunlife.ca/Schlumberger>my financial centre>Requests>Enrol and follow the enrolment flow.

8. You’ll be invited to an education session, which takes place between May 26 and June 16. This is your chance to learn more about your plan and have your questions answered. One-on-one advice is also available at these sessions. When you register, you will have the option to book an appointment with an Education Consultant.

9. If you did not contribute to the Program before, now’s the time to start! With multiple savings vehicles, so many great investments to choose from, and contributions from Schlumberger on the DCPP and DPSP, it’s a great opportunity to get yourself on track for financial success.

SECTION 2: THE TRANSFER OF YOUR ACCOUNTS TO SUN LIFE FINANCIAL

Your accounts are scheduled to transfer on the date listed in Table 1—see below.

If you have made your investment choices by June 18, your accounts will be invested according to your instructions. If you have not selected investments by June 18, your money will be placed into the Sun Life Financial Granite™ Target Date Segregated Fund closest to, but not exceeding, your 65th birthday. You can change your investments any time after your accounts have transferred to Sun Life Financial. For more information on target date funds, see Section 5 of this brochure and also refer to the FAQ posted on Enrollment Central at http://www.slb-benefits.ca/ and the NAM RSC at http://www.hub.slb.com/display/index.do?id=id3259045.

Freeze period

In order to prepare for the transfer of your accounts, your existing accounts will be unavailable for a brief period of time, as indicated in Table 1 below. You may continue to view your accounts at your legacy provider; however, you cannot transact during this time. This is known as a “freeze period”. Normal account activity resumes with Sun Life Financial as indicated in the table below.

SECTION 3: ONE PROGRAM, MANY BENEFITS

Why save with the Schlumberger Retirement and Savings Program—what’s in it for you? There are quite a few benefits to saving through your workplace Program that you won’t get when you invest on your own.

New investment options One of the biggest advantages of your Program is the opportunity to explore a wider range of investment options than you had previously, and to make your own investment choices for both your contributions (all accounts) and Schlumberger’s contributions (for the DCPP and DPSP). Take advantage of completely new investment options, including target date funds. See Section 5 of this brochure for more details.

Online planning tools With your savings plans in one location, you can use the online financial and retirement planning tools, available at mysunlife.ca/Schlumberger across all plans:

• Assess your expected income and expenses—Retirement planner

• Understand your attitude to risk—Investment risk profiler

• Calculate—withdrawal calculators

• Grow your knowledge—the money UP online learning challenge will arm you with knowledge in an entertaining way and help you on the road to making healthy financial decisions

• Everything you need to know on the go—access information about your plan anywhere, anytime through the Schlumberger mobile app at mysunlife.ca/ welcometoschlumberger

Company contributions The Schlumberger Retirement and Savings Program is designed to give you a competitive advantage in helping you save for your future. In addition to the base contribution of 2%, when you contribute to the DCPP, Schlumberger will match your contributions dollar-for-dollar, up to 3% of your admissible compensation. That can help your long-term savings add up.

Payroll deductions When your contributions are deducted directly from your pay to your DCPP or your RRSP account, you enjoy instant tax benefits and the convenience of regular contributions.

No management fees Schlumberger pays your management fees for your DCPP and DPSP, which means for the DCPP and DPSP! that all of your contributions, and Schlumberger’s contributions, are working towards your financial growth.

RRSP and TFSA accounts You can now maximize your tax-deductible, tax-sheltered savings room with the RRSP account.

The TFSA lets you save after-tax dollars free of tax on interest and investment growth. Just sign in to mysunlife.ca/Schlumberger—it’s a quick and easy online enrolment. Schlumberger has negotiated lower management fees than you would get at a retail institution, such as a bank.

Leverage dedicated The Sun Life Financial Customer Care Centre is available for live, in-person support, in-person support 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. MT every business day. Call 1-866-733-8612.

KNOWLEDGE TIP WHAT ARE THE MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN A TFSA AND RRSP?With an RRSP, your contributions are deducted before you pay income tax (you’re saving pre-tax dollars). This is valuable because it means that the amount of income you are taxed on is reduced. You pay tax on your RRSP money when you withdraw it—if you’re in a lower tax bracket when you withdraw it, you’ll save on your taxes. Your RRSP must be converted to a retirement income vehicle by age 71.

With a TFSA, you’re saving after-tax dollars; so, you’ve already paid income tax before you contribute this money into your TFSA account. The investment earnings or interest paid on your savings is not subject to tax. And, unlike the RRSP, your capital and your investment returns are tax-free on withdrawal. The TFSA is a great complement to an RRSP. There is no withdrawal requirement based on age— there is no need to convert it to another type of account at any age.

*

INVEST IN YOUR

DCPP AND DPSP –

IT’S GREAT VALUE!

INVEST IN YOUR

RRSP AND TFSA –

IT’S GREAT VALUE!

Schlumberger pays the fees for your

DCPP and DPSP, in addition to making

contributions to these accounts. That’s

a lot of free money! If you don’t participate,

or you save elsewhere, you’ll lose out—

banks and other retail institutions will

charge you fees.

Schlumberger has negotiated fund

management fees for your RRSP and TFSA

that are typically lower than what you would

pay if you invested in these accounts at a

bank or other retail financial institution. This

means that more of your money is invested

and growing for you. If you don’t participate,

or if you save elsewhere, you’ll lose out.


SECTION 5: YOUR INVESTMENT OPTIONS

The Schlumberger Retirement and Savings Program offers a variety of investments to choose from, with two distinct investment approaches: Built FOR Me and Built BY Me.

BUILT FOR ME The Built FOR Me approach is made up of target date funds structured to coincide with a key life event such

as retirement. Target date funds have asset mixes that adjust automatically as you get closer to your target date (the date when you expect to need your money). All you have to do is select the date when you will need your money; for example, your planned retirement year or the year you reach age 65, and then choose the target date fund closest to, but not exceeding, this date. You do not need to complete the Asset allocation tool if target date funds are your preferred investment approach. Look for more information on target date funds on the Schlumberger mobile app, launched in early May.

Example: If you are aged 35 in 2014, you would select a target date fund with a maturity date closest to but not exceeding 2044, i.e. the year you turn 65. This would be the Granite™2040 fund.

BUILT BY ME The Built BY Me approach allows you to create your own portfolio from a list of specially selected funds

(see chart below) and is best suited to individuals who want to actively choose and monitor their investments. If this is your preferred approach, it is advisable to complete the online Asset allocation tool, which will help you understand your personal risk tolerance. Go to mysunlife.ca/Schlumberger>my financial centre>Quick Links>my money tools and follow the steps. Based on your risk profile results, you can choose from the funds shown in the table below to create a portfolio that matches the asset mix recommended by your risk profile.

I am looking for an approach that is 100% maintenance-free.

I want asset allocation and rebalancing issues taken care of.

I am interested in selecting my own funds.

I will take the time to read the fund pages and understand the risks involved.

I want an approach that fits my personal risk profile and I will re-balance my account as necessary.

Choose what is important for you from the following statements… Built FOR Me Built BY Me

Possible charges for interfund transfers

There are no charges for transfers; however, a two per cent fee may be charged when you move money into a fund followed by a move out of the same fund within 30 days. This is known as short-term trading.

Regardless of which investment approach you take, you should monitor your investments on at least an annual basis. As a participant in a retirement program it’s your responsibility to:

• Understand your plan

• Keep your personal information and beneficiaries up-to-date with Sun Life Financial

• Choose how much to contribute

• Understand the available investment options

• Understand your individual risk profile

• Choose your investments for both your contributions and Schlumberger’s contributions, and monitor your account

• Seek independent financial advice from a qualified professional if that makes sense for you

Remember—your investment decisions will impact the amount you accumulate in the Program.


IT’S IMPORTANTRemember—whether you choose the Built FOR Me or Built BY Me approach, you need to make investment selections. Choose a target date fund for the Built FOR Me approach, or individual investments for the Built BY Me approach.

To learn more about individual investment funds in your Retirement and Savings Program, you can use Morningstar®, a leading provider of investment news and analysis, available through mysunlife.ca/Schlumberger>my financial future>Quick Links>Investment performance.

SECTION 6: MAKING YOUR MOVE – CHECKLIST AND NEXT STEPS







http://slf.SLB.sgizmo.com/s3/


Complete and submit your beneficiary form for the DCPP and DPSP. This is a critical step in the transfer process and it’s a great opportunity to make sure your records are up to date.

If you have a legacy RRSP, TFSA or NREG, please complete a separate beneficiary form for each of these plans.

If your legacy RRSP was with HSBC and you are leaving your account with HSBC, you do not need to complete a new beneficiary form for the HSBC RRSP but you should double check that the current form with HSBC is up to date.

Beneficiary forms are available on mysunlife.ca/Schlumberger>my financial centre>Quick Links> Beneficiary info, or at the back of this brochure.

From July 1, If you hold an RRSP at HSBC, and you want to transfer your account to Sun Life Financial, you’ll need to fill out a T2033 form. Either visit http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/E/pbg/tf/t2033/ or call Sun Life Financial’s Customer Care Centre at 1-866-733-8612 to have a form mailed to you.
