Decimal, Inc. Partners with Forum for Women Entrepreneurs to Deliver Online 401(k) Solution for High Growth Startups

SAN FRANCISCO (May 15, 2001) - Decimal, Inc. (www.theonline401k.com), the online retirement company, announced today that it is making its solution, The Online 401(k), available to the members of the Forum for Women Entrepreneurs (FWE) nationwide. With over 1,200 members and offices in five major cities, FWE is the premier entrepreneurial organization for women building and leading high-growth technology and life science companies.

American workers at small and mid-sized businesses ranked a 401(k) plan as the second most important employee benefit after health insurance (2001 Principal Financial Well-Being Index) and nearly two-thirds (64%) of Americans view participating in an employer's retirement plan as a very effective way to save (Consumer Federation of America). "These stats are very telling," said Isabelle Quesada, VP of Marketing at Decimal. "It is very important for a small and growing business to be able to offer a quality and affordable retirement plan to their employees - not only it helps boost morale and attract new talent, but in today's environment it also sets the expectation that a company will be around for the long term."

The Online 401(k) is designed to fit the unique needs of small and growing businesses, combining attentive customer support with efficient Web delivery. For an all-inclusive affordable monthly flat fee, employees get 24/7 access to a personalized password protected 401(k) site through which they enroll in their plan, select their investments from a list of 36 no-load or load-waived mutual funds, access their accounts, learn how to build their retirement portfolio, and much more. Employers also have access to a suite of powerful tools to efficiently monitor and manage your company's 401(k) plan online.

"We are very pleased to offer this quality 401(k) solution to our members," said Diana Reid, Director of National Expansion for the Forum for Women Entrepreneurs. "Part of building a world-class organization requires attracting, retaining and rewarding talent; and a 401(k) plan can help FWE members meet these important goals. The simplicity and convenience of The Online 401(k) Web-based features will allow these busy entrepreneurs to easily request a quote, establish a plan and enroll employees online, ensuring their company's most valued asset - human capital - is well taken care of."
