Deferral.com, Inc. names new CEO, COO

WESTON, MA (December 7, 2001) -- Deferral.com, Inc., the provider of an internet platform for the administration of non-qualified executive deferral plans, today announced that it has named Joseph C. Hutcheson, II as its President and Chief Executive Officer, and Megan Roschen as Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. Deferral.com is a member of the AFS group of companies, world leaders in developing technology for the supplemental (non-qualified) benefits market.

Hutcheson joined the AFS Group of Companies in the summer of 2000, serving as CFO and General Counsel, and is a member of the Board of Directors. He will continue in these roles as he takes on the top role at Deferral.com. Chairman and founder Daniel R. Johnson notes that Hutcheson's appointment has come at the right time, "Joe Hutcheson will bring to Deferral.com wise and consistent leadership that will serve as an excellent foundation as the company launches into a stage of rapid growth."

Prior to joining AFS, Hutcheson made ample use of his JD and an MBA in finance, practicing corporate law for many years in Boston, where he was heavily involved in new business finance, mergers and acquisitions, and intellectual property licensing, while representing both large and small financial institutions and entrepreneurs.

Megan Roschen has led the project team that developed the Deferral.com website, and continues to oversee its on-going operations as large financial institutions, nationally-prominent Third Party Administrators and direct plan administrators implement share-based deferral plans on the site. Roschen has substantial experience in plan administration software, having been actively involved in the Deferral Tracking System™, the desktop-based predecessor to the Deferral.com technology. Prior to joining AFS, Roschen worked as a senior non-qualified benefit plan administrator for more than a decade with two premier firms in the U.S. supplemental benefits market.

Hutcheson, and Roschen join Alok Mehta, Chief Technology Officer, and Lisa Spurlock, Chief Marketing Officer, comprising the executive team responsible for determining the company's strategic direction. Founded in 2000, Deferral.com provides an Internet platform for the administration of non-qualified deferral plans. Administrators can use Deferral.com to control all aspects of plan implementation, liability management and participant access through a secure Internet connection. Deferral.com replaces error prone spreadsheets and legacy 401(k) systems that are too rigid to handle the greater complexity of non-qualified plans. The management of non-qualified plan liabilities is seen as a rapidly growing market segment as companies are projected to book hundreds of billions of liabilities over the next decade.
