Fund Reorganization

At a meeting held on March 4-5, 2026, the Board of Trustees of the Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust approved a proposal to reorganize the LVIP American Century International Fund with and into the LVIP MFS International Growth Fund (the "Reorganization"). The Reorganization is subject to approval by shareholders of the LVIP American Century International Fund. If approved, the Reorganization is expected to occur on or about October 9, 2026 (the "Reorganization Date"). Upon completion of the Reorganization, shareholders of the LVIP American Century International Fund will receive shares of the corresponding class of the LVIP MFS International Growth Fund that are equal in value to the shares of the corresponding class of the LVIP American Century International Fund held immediately before the Reorganization, and the LVIP American Century International Fund will be liquidated and cease operations.

After the close of the New York Stock Exchange on the Reorganization Date, we will automatically transfer all Account Value in the LVIP American Century International Separate Account Division to the LVIP MFS International Growth Separate Account Division. Your Account Value in the LVIP MFS International Growth Separate Account Division immediately after the transfer will equal your Account Value in the LVIP American Century International Separate Account Division immediately before the transfer. The Reorganization is not expected to be a taxable event for Policy Owners. You are not required to take any action in connection with the Reorganization.

Once the Reorganization occurs, the LVIP American Century International Separate Account Division will no longer be available as an investment option. After the Reorganization, any transaction request received in Good Order that refers to the LVIP American Century International Separate Account Division will be treated as referring to the LVIP MFS International Growth Separate Account Division.

After the Reorganization, if you have any automatic program elections or premium payment allocation instructions on file for the LVIP American Century International Separate Account Division, we will treat those elections and instructions as applying to the LVIP MFS International Growth Separate Account Division.
