With the completion of the deal, nonqualified services will be available across all of Voya’s 401(k), 403(b) and 457 plan markets. These services will be provided as an integrated solution when Voya will administer an employer’s core defined contribution retirement plan.

Pen-Cal CEO Kirk Penland said: “We have seen the demand for nonqualified deferred compensation plans increase from large employers as a result of recent tax reform. We also expect interest in these plans to gain further momentum as small and mid-market companies more thoroughly understand the impact of tax reform to both their company and their key executives.”

The transaction, subject to customary closing conditions, is slated to close in the coming weeks.
