Introduction
The Capital Pension Plan was established in 1976 as a defined contribution (money purchase)pension plan. The Capital Pension Plan can consider any employer interested in participating inthe Plan. Participating employers can determine the eligibility criteria for their employees to
become contributing members of the Plan, pursuant to relevant legislative and regulatory requirements.
Both participating employers and contributing members make required contributions, based on apercentage of earnings, subject to an annual maximum contribution limit set in the Income Tax Act(Canada).
All member and employer contributions made on behalf of a member are directed to an individualaccount in the member’s name. Contributions are invested and accrue investment earnings over time.
At retirement, members use the cumulative value in their Capital Pension Plan account to providepension income through various pension income options as permitted in each jurisdiction (provincial orfederal).
The Capital Pension Plan operates two pension income options.
A Retirement Annuity Fund is available to all Plan members that choose to receive guaranteed lifetimeretirement income through the purchase of a life annuity.
A Variable Benefit option is available to Plan members within the Saskatchewan jurisdiction that desirethe flexibility to change the amount of retirement income received.

Message from the Chair
As Chair of the Pension Board, I am pleased to present the Annual Report and audited FinancialStatements for the year ending December 31, 2009.
Recovery in equity markets continued through to the end of 2009, having a positive impact onperformance of the Capital Pension Plan’s Diversified Fund. After reaching a low in March, theDiversified Fund posted an annual rate of return of 14.83% as at December 31, 2009. This return is net ofall investment management and administrative expenses.
While 2009 saw improved equity market performance, the same could not be said for money-marketyields. Interest rates were cut to record lows in Canada as part of the economic stimulus initiatives.These low interest rates significantly impacted the performance of money-market investments.As a result, the Capital Pension Plan’s Pre-Retirement Fund posted an annual rate of return of 0.47%, netof all investment management and administrative expenses.
It is important to remember that the investment goal of the Pre-Retirement Fund is to preserve capital inthe short-term. While this return is low compared to previous years, the Fund continues to achieve thisperformance goal. Looking ahead, returns for the Pre-Retirement Fund are expected to improve onceinterest rates and money market yields increase.
In closing, I would like to thank my fellow Board members for their service to the Capital Pension Planduring 2009. I also wish to thank the Capital Pension Plan administration staff for their hard work anddedication to the Plan. We remain committed to making the Capital Pension Plan the preferred plan formembers, employers and retirees.

Financial Performance Overview
Retirement Annuity FundThe Retirement Annuity Fund (RAF) provides lifetime retirement annuities to Plan members that chooseto receive retirement income through the purchase of a life annuity. When a member purchases a lifeannuity from the Plan, the member’s equity is transferred from the Defined Contribution Fund to theRetirement Annuity Fund and an annuity contract is established based on the current annuity interestrate and group annuity mortality tables. The contract provides for guaranteed lifetime income.
2009 Performance SummaryA rate of return is not calculated for the Retirement Annuity Fund. The Retirement Annuity Fund ismanaged to ensure the annuity promise (guaranteed lifetime income) is fulfilled, as determined throughthe completion of the annual actuarial valuation.
The Retirement Annuity Fund is fully funded as each new annuity is added. No additional contributionsare required to fund future benefit accruals. As well, no additional contributions are required to supportthe Fund’s current accrued liabilities.

Retirement Annuity Fund Court ApplicationIn 2007, the Capital Pension Plan made application to the Court for direction in the distribution ofapproximately $6.6 million in reserve funds accumulated in the Retirement Annuity Fund. In 2008,information packages were sent to all current and former Plan members that could potentially be eligibleto participate in a distribution of the reserve funds. Four court hearings were held during 2008. OnNovember 13, 2008, the Judge reserved her decision to take time to consider all written and verbalarguments made (details available at www.capitalpension.com).
On April 7, 2009, the Court issued certain preliminary directions to guide the parties as to the nextsteps.
On June 11, 2009, the parties returned to court to clarify several issues arising from the Court’sPreliminary Directions. At that time, the Plan Sponsor provided a draft of the distribution schedule forthe reserve distribution, which was accepted by the Court. At the conclusion of the hearing, afterproviding the clarifications requested, the Court asked the Plan Sponsor to prepare a draft Order of theCourt, confirming the directions it has given, and to circulate the draft Order to the other parties forreview. That was done, and the draft Order was confirmed by the other parties.
On August 31, 2009, the Court issued its binding Order providing the Plan Sponsor with the generaldirections as to how the reserve is to be distributed (details available at www.capitalpension.com). Atthat time, there were no further court applications contemplated and the next steps were for the PlanSponsor to begin the process of distributing the reserve.
On September 30, 2009, the Plan Sponsor was served with a Notice of Appeal seeking to overturn theJudge’s decision. The appeal was filed by a Plan member who was dissatisfied with the Judge’s decision.The appeal will be heard by the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal, likely some time in 2010. Under theCourt of Appeal Rules, a party (such as the Plan Sponsor) is prohibited from carrying through with thelower Court’s decision until the appeal has been heard and finally decided.

Plan Demographics
Plan MembershipMembership demographics are reviewed annually and taken into account during the determination ofthe Plan’s Statement of Investment Policies and Goals (SIP&G).
The membership of the Capital Pension Plan remains relatively young and, as a result, the asset mix ofthe Plan’s default investment fund (the Diversified Fund) contains a bias towards equity holdings, withmoderate investment risk.
Members’ investment risk tolerance may decrease as they get older and retirement approaches.For these members, the Capital Pension Plan offers the Pre-Retirement Fund, which is designed topreserve capital in the short-term.
Participation in the Pre-Retirement Fund is voluntary and restricted to those members who are withinfive years of their earliest possible retirement date and those members participating in the VariableBenefit.
The Capital Pension Plan had a total of 8,705 members at December 31, 2009 (8,436 in 2008).The Plan’s membership can be categorized into four groups:
Active Members are those members that are currently employed with a participating employer and onwhose behalf regular contributions to the Plan are made. The Capital Pension Plan ended 2009 with4,989 active members (4,817 in 2008).
Inactive Members are those vested members that are no longer employed with a participatingemployer, but choose to leave all or part of their equity with the Plan. At the end of 2009, there were3,192 deferred members with the Plan (3,126 in 2008).
Variable Benefit Members are those members within the Saskatchewan jurisdiction that are eligiblefor retirement and have chosen to receive pension income directly from the Plan through the VariableBenefit option. At the end of 2009, there were 151 Variable Benefit members with the Plan (113 in 2008).
Annuitants are those members that chose to receive lifetime pension income from the Capital PensionPlan Retirement Annuity Fund. At the end of 2009, there were 373 annuitants (380 in 2008).
Plan CapacityThe Capital Pension Plan continues to experience modest membership growth as participating employersacquire new employees while many departing employees that are vested choose to remain with the Planas inactive members. Many Plan members also choose to remain with the Plan during retirement andparticipate in the Variable Benefit and Retirement Annuity Fund retirement options.
The Plan remains in a position to expand membership and continues to enact policies to meet the needsof Plan members and participating employers.
