Nationwide Trio Select+SM annuity offers flexibility
for consumers

COLUMBUS, Ohio – To help consumers who are looking for ways to protect and accumulate
their retirement assets, Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (NYSE: NFS), has introduced the
Nationwide Trio Select+ Fixed Annuity.

Trio Select+, which will enhance Nationwide’s already robust suite of fixed products, is a
flexible fixed annuity that allows owners to make multiple deposits, provides a competitive
minimum guaranteed renewal rate and allows consumers to select from guaranteed interest rate
periods of one, three or five years.

Consumers have the ability to purchase Trio Select+ with a lower initial premium requirement
than many other fixed annuities available in the market. For those consumers who make larger
purchases or additional contributions to their account, Trio Select + will reward them by
increasing the earned interest rate as the contract value increases through additional payments or
accumulated interest. Withdrawals may cause the interest rate to decrease.

“Many consumers value the long-term income stability fixed annuities provide but feel restricted
from a payment and guaranteed interest standpoint,” according to John Kawauchi, vice president
of business development for Individual Investments at Nationwide Financial. “We designed Trio
Select+ with flexibility in mind. We wanted to create an annuity that helped the consumer
accumulate their assets over time. The benefit of the additional interest rate is that as their
contract accumulates, their interest rate increases.”

Trio Select + is an individual, flexible purchase payment, deferred, fixed interest annuity and is
issued by Nationwide Life Insurance Company, a member of Nationwide Financial. All
guarantees and protections of this annuity are subject to the claims-paying ability of the issuer.
