Summary

This is a 2026 Actuarial Adequacy Report prepared by Milliman for the Florida Prepaid College Board (also known as the Stanley G. Tate Florida Prepaid College Program). The report presents the actuarial valuation of the prepaid college program as of June 30, 2026, and analyzes the program's financial adequacy to meet its contractual obligations. The report includes comprehensive actuarial valuations, program experience analysis, actuarial assumptions and methods, contract data summaries, and program termination liability calculations. The document was prepared by Alan Perry and Matt Larrabee of Milliman and presented on September 23, 2026.

As of June 30, 2026, the program held invested assets valued at $13.961 billion with a present value of projected future premium contributions of $1.972 billion, resulting in total program resources of $15.933 billion. The program obligations totaled $9.961 billion, comprising $7.338 billion in present value of projected future program benefits, $1.181 billion in cancellation refunds, and $1.102 billion in certain projected future expenses, plus $340 million in near-term payable amounts. The actuarial adequacy reserve stood at $5.972 billion, representing 60.0 percent of total liability obligations—an increase of $613 million from the prior year's reserve of $5.359 billion. The program termination liability was calculated at $7.366 billion. The valuation applied a single effective discount rate of 5.07 percent for total obligations calculation, updated from 4.90 percent in the prior year, and maintained consistent actuarial assumptions and methods except for updates to the discount rate yield curve, certain projected future expenses, and pre-matriculation cancellation rates based on recent program experience.

B. Actuarial Discussion and Analysis A comprehensive adequacy valuation of the Stanley G. Tate Florida Prepaid College Program (the “Program”) is conducted annually, with interim valuation updates quarterly, to analyze the ability of projected Program resources to fully meet projected Program contract obligations and Program expenses. Consistent with Section 1009.98(10)(a)1 of Florida Statutes, the actuarial adequacy reserve is the amount stated in present value terms by which the expected value of Program assets including projected future contributions for contracts currently in force (resources) exceeds the projected value of Program liabilities, including expenses (obligations). The calculation is done as of a single point in time, using a single set of actuarial assumptions and methods as approved by the Florida Prepaid College Board (the “Board”).

While the adequacy analysis uses a single set of actuarial assumptions, actual future Program experience will differ from the assumptions used in the adequacy valuation’s calculations. Given that, the use of assumptions which in combined effect include a margin of conservatism to account for potential adverse actual future Program experience is prudent. Per its statutory role, the final decisions regarding the assumptions used in the adequacy valuation and the appropriate margin of conservatism to include in those assumptions reside with the Board.

With exceptions as noted in this report, the valuation was conducted using the same actuarial assumptions and methods used in the adequacy valuation conducted as of June 30, 2025. The assumptions used were approved by the Board, based on the Board’s review of Program experience and economic conditions.

C. Program Experience “Experience” encompasses the performance of the Program during the year, including investment performance, along with the effects of changes in the discount rate yield curve, tuition, fees, and the Program’s contract data.

The Program experience during the year is quantified through changes in the actuarial adequacy reserve. The year-to-year changes in the reserve are detailed in Exhibit 7 of the report. The adequacy reserve increased by $613 million during the year. The key sources of reserve decrease during the year were:

$94 million – effect of changes to the pre-matriculation cancellation assumption

$106 million – effect of new contract sales during the most recent enrollment window

$343 million – effect of changes to projected future administrative expenses

These factors were more than offset by sources of reserve increase:

$760 million – investment gains on the non-liability-hedging reserve assets

$29 million – impact from the immunized fixed income strategy

$421 million – lower actual 2026-27 tuition and dormitory costs compared to those assumed in the 2025 adequacy valuation

The line-item contributions of each distinct source of year-to-year change in the adequacy reserve are shown in Exhibit 7. The effect of all sources not separately identified was a reserve decrease of $54 million, which is approximately 0.5% of program obligations.

The impact of the immunized fixed income strategy combines the effects on the reserve from changes to the market value of the liability-hedging fixed income investments and changes to the discounted present value of Program liability obligations and future premium payments due to discount rate yield curve shifts and the passage of time. The magnitude of this change is the outcome of an asset/liability immunization policy, where fixed income assets are invested in such a manner that decreases (or increases) in Program liabilities due to yield curve shifts will be mirrored to a significant extent by a corresponding decrease (or increase) in the market value of the Program’s liability-hedging fixed income investments.

Milliman recommends that third parties be aided by their own actuary or other qualified professional

D. Changes in Actuarial Assumptions and Methods The actuarial assumptions and methods used in this valuation are the same as those used in the valuation conducted as of June 30, 2025 except as summarized below, with more details in Appendix A:

The discount rate yield curve was updated to reflect changes in capital market conditions between annual valuation dates.

The annual budget, lockbox expenses, and investment management fees were updated to reflect current costs. These expenses are the “certain projected future expenses” in the reserve calculation.

The pre-matriculation cancellations were updated in accordance with recent experience.

Please see Appendix A for a more detailed summary of this valuation’s actuarial assumptions and methods.

E. Changes in Program Provisions There have been no changes in Program provisions that affect actuarial calculations since the prior valuation.

Please see Appendix B for a summary of the principal Program provisions.

Exhibit 5

Discount Rate Yield Curves Used in Current and Prior Valuations The present values of projected Program obligations and projected future premium contributions are calculated using discount rate yield curves developed by the Program’s investment consultant and provided to Milliman by Program staff. The yield curve is based on US Treasury spot rates increased by an option adjusted spread determined by the Program’s investment consultant. The US Treasury spot rates as of the two most recent annual adequacy valuation dates, followed by the discount rate yield curves used in the current and prior valuations are shown below. The equivalent single effective interest rate used to determine Total Program Obligations as calculated by Milliman increased 17 basis points from 4.90% in the June 30, 2025 valuation to 5.07% in this June 30, 2026 valuation.

Exhibit 6

Actuarial Adequacy Reserve as of June 30, 2026 Consistent with Section 1009.98(10)(a)1 of Florida Statutes, the actuarial adequacy reserve is the amount stated in present value terms by which the expected value of Program assets including projected future contributions for contracts currently in force (resources) exceeds the projected value of Program liabilities, including expenses (obligations). The calculation is done as of a single point in time, using a single set of actuarial assumptions and methods approved by the Program’s Board. Present values are calculated using the discount rate yield curve shown in Exhibit 5.

1. Assets at fair market value as of June 30, 2026 $13,961,000,000

2. Present value of expected future premium contributions 1,972,000,000

Exhibit 7

Change in Actuarial Adequacy Reserve from June 30, 2025 to June 30, 2026 A number of factors contributed to the year-to-year change in the actuarial adequacy reserve, as quantified below.

1. Actuarial adequacy reserve as of June 30, 2025 $5,359,000,000

Increase/(decrease) in reserve from June 30, 2025 to June 30, 2026 due to:

2. Investment earnings on non-liability hedging reserve assets

3. Immunization*

4. Actual 2026-2027 tuition and fee policy**

5. Changes in assumptions regarding certain projected future expenses

6. New contract sales during year

7. Change in pre-matriculation cancellation assumptions

8. Actual contract usage/cancellation behavior**, and all other sources

9. Total increase/(decrease) in actuarial adequacy reserve during the year

10. Actuarial adequacy reserve as of June 30, 2026

421,000,000 (343,000,000) (106,000,000) (94,000,000) (54,000,000)

613,000,000

$5,972,000,000

* Immunization reflects the combined net effect of the investment return on liability-hedging fixed income investments and changes to the present values of Program obligations and projected future premium payments due to changes in the annual adequacy reserve valuation’s discount rate yield curve and the passage of time between June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2026. It also reflects the difference between the annual adequacy reserve valuation’s liability and the hedging portfolio’s benchmark liability. The annual adequacy reserve valuation’s liability is a closed group measure of the obligations for active contracts already in force as of the valuation date.

The portfolio benchmark liability, in contrast, also includes obligations for up to five additional years of projected contract sales. The portfolio benchmark liability has a greater present value and also a longer duration than the annual adequacy reserve valuation liability. These two factors account for the positive $29 million impact on the annual adequacy reserve from immunization. If we included five years of additional projected future contract sales in the adequacy reserve liability calculation, the immunization impact on the adequacy reserve would have been positive $11 million.

Exhibit 9

Program Termination Liability as of June 30, 2026 Program termination liability is calculated in accordance with Florida Statutes and guidance from the Board. In the Program termination liability calculation, the contract population is divided into two subsets, with differing liability determination methods applied to each subset.

In this valuation, Subset A consists of contracts with a projected enrollment year of 2030 or earlier. Subset A contracts are valued assuming that premium payments continue (where applicable) and that all purchased contract benefits are paid after matriculation.

In this valuation, Subset B consists of contracts with a projected enrollment year of 2031 or later. Subset B contracts are valued assuming a refund of all past premium payments, including interest at passbook rates.

Caveats and Limitations of Use The actuarial valuation of the Stanley G. Tate Florida Prepaid College Program (the “Program”) as of June 30, 2026 has been completed in accordance with our understanding of Program provisions as specified by Florida Statutes using assumptions and methods as approved by the Florida Prepaid College Board (the “Board”). It also has been completed in accordance with our understanding of any applicable guidance or interpretations provided by the Program’s administrative staff. The valuation results contained in this report are based on the actuarial assumptions and methods (Appendix A), principal Program provisions (Appendix B), and contract data (Appendix C, Appendix D) summarized in the appendices.

Purpose of the Valuation The adequacy reserve portion of the actuarial valuation assesses, as of a single point in time, the estimated sufficiency of Program resources (assets currently held and estimated future premium contributions for contracts currently in force) to satisfy Program obligations (estimated future Program benefit payments and administrative expenses). The adequacy reserve valuation uses assumptions and methods approved by the Board.

The Program termination portion of the actuarial valuation assesses, as of a single point in time, the estimated level of Program termination liability using parameters as specified by Section 1009.98(8) of Florida Statutes and by the Board.

Assumptions and Methods All liabilities shown in this report have been determined on the basis of actuarial assumptions and methods set forth in Appendix A and as approved by the Board. The assumptions are based on recent Board reviews of Program experience and economic conditions. The assumptions and methods used in this valuation are unchanged from those used in the prior valuation as of June 30, 2025, except as noted in this report.

Limited Use We believe the assumptions and methods used in this report for purposes of calculating the adequacy reserve and Program termination liability are reasonable for the purposes of the measurements. The results of this report are dependent upon future experience conforming to the assumptions disclosed in this report. Future actuarial measurements may differ significantly from the current measurements presented in this report due to many factors, including Program experience differing from that anticipated by the economic or demographic assumptions; changes in economic or demographic assumptions; and changes in Program provisions and/or applicable law. Due to the limited scope of our assignment, we did not perform an analysis of the potential range of future measurements. Determinations for purposes other than meeting those requirements referenced above may be significantly different from the results contained in this report. Accordingly, additional determinations may be needed for other purposes.

Reliance In preparing our report we relied, without audit, on information (some oral and some written) supplied by the Board. This information includes, but is not limited to, statutory provisions, contract data, and financial information.

In our examination of this data, we have found it to be reasonably consistent and comparable with data used for other purposes. Since the valuation results are dependent on the integrity of the data supplied, the results can be expected to differ if the underlying data is incomplete or missing. It should be noted that if any data or other information is inaccurate or incomplete, our calculations may need to be revised.

PROGRAM BENEFIT COST ASSUMPTIONS

Program Assumed Benefit Costs For projected Program benefits paid during 2026-2027, actual cost rates were used. Both an annual inflation assumption and a one-time catch-up (or buffer) assumption are applied to 2026-2027 cost rates to develop 2027- 2028 projected rates used in the valuation. In years after that, an annual inflation assumption is applied to the prior year’s projected cost rates. Rates for the first three years, along with the one-time catch up and annual inflation assumptions, are shown in the tables below.

Costs per Hour (per Semester for Dormitory) 2026-2027 2027-2028 2028-2029 University Tuition* $116.67 $151.01 $161.57

ASSUMED CONTRACT CANCELLATION AND CONTRACT USAGE PATTERNS

Assumed Contract Cancellation Rates Prior to Matriculation Year In 2026, a study to assess recently observed cancellation rates for various contract types over the seven-year period since 2019 was performed. As an outcome of that study, the following contract cancellation rates were assumed in the valuation. The rates vary by contract type, payment option selected, and the amount of time that has passed since contract purchase. The two tables below show the rates that were applied in the valuation.

Assumed Annual Usage Rates for Contract Benefits During the Benefit Usage Period In 2019, a study to assess recently observed usage rates for various contract types over a five-year observation period was performed. As an outcome of that study, the following contract usage rates were assumed in the valuation. We review benefit usage as part of our annual valuation process that identifies sources of year-to-year change in the adequacy reserve. As such, we anticipate regularly assessing the appropriateness and accuracy of the assumptions. The usage rates in the table below are applied to all remaining unused benefit units for contracts in the specified year of the benefit usage period. The rates are stated as the percentage of remaining unused units that are assumed to be used in the upcoming year of the contract. The usage rate is set to 100% of units still projected available at the conclusion of the ten-year usage period to add a measure of conservatism to the reserve calculations. An illustration of the application of these assumptions for a sample contract is provided later in this appendix after the listing of the cancellation rate assumptions. A study was conducted in 2026 to review experience over the seven years since 2019 and no adjustments to the rates were deemed necessary.

Illustration of Usage, Cancellation Assumptions During Benefit Usage Period As noted above, the usage and cancellation assumptions are rates applied to all remaining unused units for contracts in the specified year of the benefit usage period. This table illustrates application of the assumptions to a 4-Year University contract at the start of its usage period with 120 units available. For this contract it is assumed 84% of units (100.95 of 120) will be used and 16% of units (19.05 of 120) will be cancelled. As a measure of conservatism in the adequacy calculations, it is assumed that the 6.01 units projected to remain after 10 years will be used rather than cancelled.

ECONOMIC ASSUMPTIONS

Discount Rates Valuation calculations use a discount rate yield curve provided by the Board as displayed in Exhibit 5. The yield curve is based on U.S. Treasury spot rates increased by an incremental return determined by the Program’s investment consultants to reflect the additional yield from the allocation to corporate bonds in the liability hedge portfolio.

CHANGES IN ASSUMPTIONS AND METHODS SINCE PRIOR VALUATION

Discount rate yield curves: The discount rate yield curve was updated as shown in this report, reflecting changes in capital market conditions between valuation dates.

Certain projected future expenses: The annual budget, lockbox expenses, and investment management fees were updated to reflect current projected costs. These expenses are the “certain projected future expenses” in the reserve calculation.

Pre-matriculation cancellation rates: The assumed cancellation rates for contracts prior to their matriculation date were modified to more closely align with actual cancellation experience over the past 7 years.
