Are There Charges
or Adjustments for
Early
Withdrawals?
|
Yes.
Contract Option L. If you withdraw money during the first 4 contract years,
you may be assessed a withdrawal charge of up to 8%. For example, if you
make an early withdrawal, you could pay a withdrawal charge of up to
$8,000 on a $100,000 withdrawal. This loss will be greater if there is a
negative MVA, taxes, or tax penalties.
Contract Option C. No withdrawal charge schedule.
A positive or negative MVA is assessed if any portion of a GPA is withdrawn
or transferred more than 30 days before the end of its guarantee period.
You could lose up to 100% of the amount withdrawn from a GPA as a result
of a negative MVA.
For example, if you allocate $100,000 to a GPA with a 3-year guarantee
period and later withdraw the entire amount before the 3 years have
ended, you could lose up to $100,000 of your investment. This loss will be
greater if you also have to pay a withdrawal charge, taxes, and tax
penalties.
The following transactions when applied to a GPA, which we refer to as
"early withdrawals," are subject to an MVA when they occur more than
30 days prior to the end of the guarantee period, unless an exception
applies: (i) withdrawals (including full and partial withdrawals, systematic
withdrawals, and required minimum distributions), (ii) transfers, and
(iii) annuitization. We will not apply a negative MVA to the payment of the
death benefit. An MVA may increase the death benefit but will not decrease
it.

much you will pay. To help you understand the cost of owning your Contract,
the following table shows the lowest and highest cost you could pay each
year, based on current charges. This estimate assumes that you do not
take withdrawals from the Contract, which could add withdrawal charges
and negative MVAs that substantially increase costs.

Is this a
Short-Term
Investment?
|
No.
•The Contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an
investor who needs ready access to cash.
•The Contract Option L has withdrawal charges which may reduce the
value of your Contract if you withdraw money during the withdrawal
charge period. Withdrawals may also reduce or terminate contract
guarantees.
•Withdrawals may also be subject to taxes and tax penalties.
•Withdrawals from a GPA prior to 30 days before the end of the guarantee
period may also result in a negative MVA. During the 30-day period
ending on the last day of the guarantee period, you may choose to start
a new guarantee period of the same length, transfer the contract value
from the current GPA to any of the investment options available under
the Contract, apply the contract value to an annuity payout plan, or
withdraw the value from the current GPA (all subject to applicable
withdrawal, transfer, and annuitization provisions). If we do not receive
any instructions by the end of the guarantee period, we will automatically
transfer the contract value from the current GPA into the shortest GPA
term available.
•The benefits of tax deferral, long-term income, and optional living benefit
guarantees mean the contract is generally more beneficial to investors
with a long term investment horizon.

Your investment professional may receive compensation for selling this

Should I Exchange
My Contract?
|
If you already own an annuity or insurance Contract, some investment
professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a new Contract in
place of the one you own. You should only exchange a Contract you already
own if you determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both
Contracts, that it is better for you to purchase the new Contract rather than
continue to own your existing Contract.
