Examples include assumptions about future employment, salary increases, and mortality. Amounts determined regarding the net pension liability are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The Board of Trustees adopts actuarial assumptions, each of which individually represents a reasonable long-term estimate of anticipated experience for the Systems, derived from experience studies conducted every fifth year and from Board policies concerning investments and COLAs. The most recent comprehensive experience studies were completed in May 2021. All economic and demographic assumptions were reviewed and certain assumptions were updated, where appropriate, based on the results of the studies and effective with the June 30, 2021 valuation. For PSRS, the retirement rates assumption was updated for the June 30, 2023 valuation due to the passage of Senate Bill 75 (HCS/SS/SB 75), which added the 2.55% formula factor benefit for members that retire with 32 or more years of service. Significant actuarial assumption and methods are detailed below. For additional information please refer to the Systems’ Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR). The next experience studies are scheduled for 2026. - 51 -

Total Payroll Growth PEERS: 2.50% per annum, consisting of 2.00% inflation, 0.25% real wage growth due to the inclusion of active health care costs in pensionable earnings, and 0.25% of real wage growth due to productivity. Future Salary Increases PSRS: 2.625% - 8.875%, depending on service and including 2.00% inflation, 0.125% real wage growth due to the inclusion of active health care costs in pensionable earnings, and 0.125% of real wage growth due to productivity, and real wage growth for merit. Future Salary Increases PEERS: 3.25% - 9.75%, depending on service and including 2.00% inflation, 0.25% real wage growth due to the inclusion of active health care costs in pensionable earnings, and 0.25% of real wage growth due to productivity. and real wage growth for merit. Cost of Living Increases PSRS & PEERS: Given that the actual increase in the CPI-U index from June 2022 to June 2023 was 2.97%, the Board approved an actual COLA as of January 1, 2024 of 2.00%, in accordance with the Board's funding policy and Missouri statutes, consistent with the assumed COLA of 2.00%. Future COLAs assumed in the valuation are 1.35% each January 1. This COLA assumption is based on the 20-year stochastic analysis of inflation performed in the 2021 experience study and application of the Board's funding policy to those expectations. The current policy of the Board to grant a COLA on each January 1 as follows: If the June to June change in the CPI-U is less than 2% for one or more consecutive one-year periods, a COLA increase of 2% will be granted when the cumulative increase is equal to or greater than 2%, at which point the cumulative increase in the CPI-U will be reset to zero. For the following year, the starting CPI-U will be based on the June value immediately preceding the January 1 at which the 2% cost-of-living increase is granted. - 52 -

If the June to June change in the CPI-U is greater than or equal to 5%, a COLA increase of 5% will be granted. If the CPI decreases, no COLA is provided. The COLA applies to service retirements and beneficiary annuities. The COLA does not apply to the benefits for in-service death payable to spouses (where the spouse is over age 60), and does not apply to the spouse with children pre-retirement death benefit, the dependent children pre- retirement death benefit, or the dependent parent death benefit. The total lifetime COLA cannot exceed 80% of the original benefit. PSRS members receive a COLA on the second January after retirement, while PEERS members receive a COLA on the fourth January after retirement. Mortality Assumptions  Actives PSRS: Experience-adjusted Pub-2010 Teachers Mortality Table for Employees with generational projection using the MP-2020 improvement scale. Experience adjustments are equal to the healthy retiree experience-based adjustment factors at all ages for both males and females.  Actives PEERS: Experience-adjusted Pub-2010 General (Below-Median Income) Mortality Table for Employees with generational projection using the MP-2020 improvement scale. Experience adjustments are equal to the healthy retiree experience- based adjustment factors at all ages for both males and females.  Non-Disabled Retirees PSRS: Mortality rates for non-disabled retirees and beneficiaries are based on the Pub-2010 Teachers Mortality Table for Healthy Retirees and the Pub-2010 Teachers Mortality Table for Contingent Survivors, respectively. The tables are projected generationally using the MP-2020 improvement scale and multiplied by the experience-based adjustment factors shown below at all ages for both males and females. The non-disabled factor is 1.10 for males and 1.04 for females. The contingent survivor factor is 1.18 for males and 1.07 for females. - 53 -

Changes in Actuarial Assumptions and Methods For PSRS, the retirement rates assumption was updated for the June 30, 2023 valuation due to the passage of Senate Bill 75 (HCS/SSS/SB 75), which added the 2.55% benefit formula multiplier for members that retire with 32 or more years of service. There have been no other changes to the actuarial assumptions and methods used for PSRS or PEERS since the June 30, 2021 valuations, which included various assumption updates pursuant to the 2021 experience study.
