Brian reported that the markets reflected concerns over the economic and social impact of the continued
Coronavirus outbreak. Brian also reported that March was the ultimate reminder that markets can turn
against investors very quickly, and that outside of cash, every other part of the traditional equity and
fixed income markets were in negative territory. Brian reported that the portfolio performed as expected
1
under the circumstances and that we won’t know how our real estate investments will impact the portfolio
until probably the 3rd quarter of this year.

NOTICE OF RETIREE HEALTH CARE INVESTMENT BOARD MEETING (Amended)
The Royal Oak Retiree Health Care Investment Board will hold at 8:30a.m. on Tuesday April 14, 2020
On March 10, 2020, Governor Whitmer issued Executive Order 2020-04, which declared a state-wide
state of emergency due to the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). COVID-19 is a new strain
of coronavirus that had not been previously identified in humans, can spread easily from person to
person, and can result in serious illness or death. To mitigate the spread of COVID-19, to protect the
public health, and provide essential protections to vulnerable Michiganders, it is crucial that all
Michiganders take steps to limit in-person contact. The critical mitigation measures include social
distancing and limiting the number of people interacting at public gatherings. Therefore, the April 14
Royal Oak Retiree Health Care Investment Board Meeting will be held electronically, in compliance
with the Open Meetings Act and Executive Order 2020-15, as issued by Governor Whitmer on March
18, 2020.
