YOUR GUIDE TO GETTING STARTED
Invest some of what you earn today for what you plan to accomplish tomorrow.
Dear Comcaster:
It is our pleasure to offer you the opportunity to participate in the Comcast Corporation RetirementInvestment Plan (the 'Comcast Plan'). Your retirement savings plan offers a convenient, tax-deferred way to save for retirement.
As an eligible employee of Comcast Corporation, you will be automatically enrolled in the Plan at a contribution rate of 3% of your pretax eligible earnings.
Benefit from:
Matching contributions. Comcast helps your contributions grow by matching your 401(k) contributions.
Convenience. Your contributions are automatically deducted regularly from your paycheck.
Tax-deferred savings opportunities. You pay no taxes on any earnings until you withdraw them from your account, enabling you to keep more of your money working for you now.
Tax savings now. Your pretax contributions are deducted from your pay before income taxes are taken out. This means that you can actually lower the amount of current income taxes withheld each period. It could mean more money in your take-home pay versus saving money in a taxable account.
Portability. You can roll over eligible savings from a previous employer into this Plan. You can also take your vested account balance with you if you leave the company.
Automatic annual increases. Save a little more each year, the easy way -- the Annual Increase Program automatically increases your contribution rate by 1% each year up to 10% of your pretax eligible earnings.
Investment options. You have the flexibility to select from investment options that range from more conservative to more aggressive, making it easy for you to develop a well-diversified investment portfolio. Your contributions will be invested in the age-based Vanguard Target Retirement Trust Select funds if you do not make an investment election.
Online beneficiary. With Fidelity's Online Beneficiaries Service, you can designate your beneficiaries, receive instant online confirmation, and check your beneficiary information virtually any time.
Employees who are represented by a labor union or Guild may or may not be eligible for any or all the benefits, plans or programs described in this document. The eligibility of union represented employees for these benefits, plans or programs may be governed by the applicable collective bargaining agreement(s) and/or subject to collective bargaining.

Sincerely,
Comcast Global Benefits Department

Frequently asked questions about your plan.
Here are answers to questions you may have about the key features, benefits, and rules of your plan.
Who is eligible to enroll in the Plan?
You are eligible to enroll in the Plan if you are:
A regular, full-time or part-time employee of Comcast or another participating company who has completed 90 days of service; or
A temporary employee of Comcast or another participating company who has completed 1,000 hours of service during the twelve (12) month period that commences on your hire date or during any calendar year that commences after your hire date.
When can I enroll in the Plan?
Newly eligible employees:
If you are a newly hired employee, you will be automatically enrolled in the Plan at a contribution rate of 3% of your pretax eligible earnings and your contributions will be invested in the age-based Vanguard Target Retirement Trust Select funds. This will become effective the first pay period of the month after your eligibility date. Remember to designate a beneficiary if you are auto enrolled.
The Plan also offers an Annual Increase Program, where, if you remain automatically enrolled at 3%, your contributions will increase by 1% each year up to a maximum of 10% unless you take action.
When can I enroll/make changes myself prior to my eligibility date?
You can select a different contribution rate, change your contribution rate to zero, or make investment selections beginning 30 days prior to your eligibility date.
Previously eligible employees:
If you have previously met the eligibility requirement, but decided not to participate the plan, you are still eligible to enroll immediately. Rehired employees who return to active service within 75 days of their termination date will be automatically reenrolled in the Plan at the same deferral percentage that they had in effect when they terminated employment with Comcast. An employee who is rehired more than 75 days following his or her employment termination date will be treated as a new employee and automatically reenrolled in the Plan with a 3% deferral percentage.
How do I enroll in the Plan?
Log on to Fidelity NetBenefits? at to enroll and to designate a beneficiary for your account. Alternatively, you may call the Comcast Retirement Service Center at 877 88CMCSA (877 882-6272).
What is the Roth contribution option?
A Roth contribution to your retirement savings plan allows you to make after-tax contributions and take any associated earnings completely tax free at retirement as long as the distribution is a qualified one. A qualified distribution, in this case, is one that is taken at least 5 tax years after your first Roth 401(k) contribution and after you have attained age 59?, or become disabled or die.
Through automatic payroll deduction you can contribute between 1% and 50% of your eligible pay as designated Roth

How much can I contribute?
You may contribute from 1% to 50% of your eligible pay on a pretax basis and/or Roth aftertax basis, up to the annual IRS dollar limits. Contributions may be made in 0.5% increments and are automatically deducted from your paycheck. Eligible pay is defined as your total pay plus bonuses and commissions, excluding expense reimbursements, the value of fringe benefits, Flex day payouts, moving expenses, deferred compensation or similar items paid while you are an active employee or, under certain circumstances, within 75 days of your termination, up to the IRS maximum compensation limits. Severance pay is not considered eligible plan compensation. In addition, an account administrative recordkeeping fee of $27.00 per year will be deducted quarterly from your 401(k) account and trust and custody fees for the Comcast Stock funds will be assessed against balances in the Comcast Stock funds, if applicable.
Can I change the amount I contribute to the Plan?
You may increase or decrease the percentage that you contribute to the Plan at any time by logging on to Fidelity NetBenefits? at or calling the Comcast Retirement Service Center. The change will be effective with your next available pay period.
What is the IRS contribution limit?
The IRS contribution limit for 2017 is $18,000.
Does the Company contribute to my account?
Comcast Corporation helps your retirement savings grow by matching your
contributions. Comcast will match 100% of each dollar you contribute, on the first 4.5% of pay that you defer to your Plan up to annual IRS limits. Company match is capped at $10,000 for certain highly compensated employees.
What is the Savings Starter Contribution?
The Savings Starter contribution is intended to help you build your retirement savings. Each year, Comcast may make an additional discretionary contribution for eligible employees, up to IRS limits. If you are eligible, your Savings Starter contribution will be posted to your account in the first quarter of year following the year in which it is earned. This is not dependent on your participation in the plan. To receive the Savings Starter, you must be employed by Comcast on December 31 of the year to which the contribution relates. This extra contribution will be invested based on your current investment election. For additional information, including the eligibility requirements, please refer to the Summary Plan Description (SPD) available online at .
How do I designate my beneficiary?
If you have not already selected your beneficiaries, or if you have experienced a life-changing event such as a marriage, divorce, birth of a child, or a death in the family, it's time to consider your beneficiary designations. Fidelity's Online Beneficiaries Service, available through Fidelity NetBenefits?, offers a straightforward, convenient process that takes just minutes. Simply log on to NetBenefits? at and click on the "Profile" link, then select "Beneficiaries" and follow the online instructions. If you do not have access to the internet or prefer to complete your beneficiary information by paper form, the form is available by calling the Comcast Retirement Service Center at 877 88CMCSA (877 882-6272).

Going forward, catch-up contribution limits will be subject to cost of living adjustments (COLAs) in $500 increments.
The Company does not match your catch-up contributions. You make catch-up contributions through payroll deduction, the same way you make regular contributions. You can make catchup contributions of up to 30% of your eligible pay.
