Here you go. It's on the front page of the buy back program.

http://www.marriott.com/marriott/elitebuyback.mi

Points used by members to buyback their previously attained Elite level will be permanently deducted from their Lifetime point balance

BTW - those interested in doing the buyback this year, even w/ the deduction from lifetime points, the deadline is April 1 2016.

Cheers.
