The Contract is designed to give you flexibility in planning for retirement and other financial goals. This Initial Summary Prospectus was first used May 1, 2021.

You may allocate your Purchase Payments and Contract Value to one or more of the Subaccounts that comprise a separate account of the Company, called the Variable Annuity Account A (the "Separate Account"). Each Subaccount invests in a corresponding mutual fund (each, an "Underlying Fund").

Overview of the Contract

Purpose of the Contract - The Contract is a variable annuity contract. It is designed for retirement planning purposes. You make investments in the Contract's investment options during the accumulation phase. The value of your investments is used to calculate your benefits under the Contract. At the end of the accumulation phase, we use that accumulated value to calculate the payments that we make during the annuity phase. These payments can provide or supplement your retirement income. Generally speaking, the longer your accumulation phase, the greater your accumulated value may be for setting your benefits and annuity payouts. The Contract also includes a death benefit to help financially protect your Designated Beneficiary.

This Contract may be appropriate for you if you have a long investment time horizon. This Contract is not intended for people who may need to make early or frequent withdrawals or who intend to engage in frequent trading in the Subaccounts that are available under the Contract. Because of the possibility of income tax and tax penalties on early withdrawals, the Contract should not be viewed as an investment vehicle offering low cost liquidity. Your financial goal in acquiring the Contract should focus on a long-term insurance product, offering the prospect of investment growth.

Phases of the Contract - The contract has two phases: (1) an accumulation phase (for savings) and (2) an annuity (payout) phase (for income).

Accumulation Phase. During the accumulation phase, earnings accumulate on a tax-deferred basis and are taxed as income when you make a withdrawal. To accumulate value during the accumulation phase, you invest your Purchase Payments and earnings in the Subaccounts that are available under the Contract, which, in turn, invest in Underlying Funds with different investment strategies, objectives, and risk/reward profiles. You may allocate all or part of your Purchase Payments and Contract Value to the Subaccounts. Amounts that you allocate to a Subaccount will increase or decrease in dollar value depending in part on the investment performance of the Underlying Fund in which such Subaccount invests.

A list of the Underlying Funds currently available under the Contract is provided in Appendix A: Underlying Funds Available Under the Contract.

Annuity (Payout) Phase. The Annuity phase occurs after the Annuity Start Date and is when you or a designated payee begin receiving regular Annuity payments from your Contract. The Contract provides several Annuity Options. You should carefully review the Annuity Options with your financial or tax adviser. We may make other Annuity Options available upon request. We may also discontinue the availability of one or more of these options at any time.

Please note that if you annuitize, your investments will be converted to income payments and you generally will no longer be able to withdraw money at will from your Contract. However, if the Owner has elected variable annuity payments or a combination of variable and fixed annuity payments under Annuity Option 5, withdrawals (other than systematic withdrawals or withdrawals to pay investment advisory fees) are permitted after the Annuity Start Date. The Return of Premium Death Benefit terminates upon annuitization. The Company will continue to deduct the monthly Return of Premium Death Benefit Rider charge if you elect Annuity Option 5 or 6.

Contract Features -

Accessing Your Money. Before your Contract is annuitized, you can withdraw money from your Contract at any time. If you take a withdrawal, you may have to pay income taxes, including a tax penalty, if you are younger than age 59½.

Tax Treatment. You can transfer money between investment options without tax implications, and earnings (if any) on your investments are generally tax-deferred. You are taxed only upon: (1) making a withdrawal; (2) surrender of the Contract; (3) receiving a payment from us; or (4) payment of a death benefit.

Death Benefit. The Contract includes a standard death benefit equal to the Contract Value reduced by any uncollected premium tax. If you purchased the optional rider that provides an enhanced death benefit, you have the opportunity to leave your beneficiary a death benefit greater than the standard death benefit.

Return of Premium Death Benefit. For an additional cost, under this rider, we will pay an enhanced death benefit upon the death of the Owner or any Joint Owner prior to the Annuity Start Date.

Advisory Fees. Deductions from your Contract Value to pay third-party advisory fees are treated as withdrawals under the Contract. If you elect to pay advisory fees from your Contract Value, then the deduction will reduce the death benefits, perhaps significantly, and may be subject to federal and state income taxes and a 10% federal penalty tax.

Additional Services - We offer several additional services:

 

Dollar Cost Averaging. You direct us to systematically transfer Contract Value among the Subaccounts on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual, or annual basis.

Asset Reallocation Option. You direct us to automatically reallocate your Contract Value to return to your original percentage investment allocations on a periodic basis.

Automatic Investment Program. Purchase Payments are automatically paid from your bank account on a specified day each month or pursuant to a salary reduction agreement.

Systematic Withdrawals. You receive regular automatic withdrawals from your Contract, on a monthly, quarterly, annual or semi-annual basis, provided that each payment must amount to at least $100 (unless we consent otherwise).

Benefits Available Under the Contract

The following table summarizes information about the benefits available under the Contract.

Standard Benefits
Name of Benefit	Purpose	Maximum Fee	Brief Description of Restrictions/Limitations
Standard Death Benefit	Provides a death benefit equal to the Contract Value.	There is no charge for this option.	●The death benefit will be reduced by any uncollected premium tax.
Dollar Cost Averaging Option	Allows the systematic transfer of a specified dollar amount or percentage of Contract Value among Subaccounts.	There is no charge for this option.	●The minimum amount that may be transferred to any one Subaccount is $25.00. ●The Company may discontinue, modify, or suspend Dollar Cost Averaging at any time. ●Transfers can be made for a fixed period of time, until the total amount elected has been transferred, or until the Contract Value in the Subaccount from which transfers are made has been depleted. ●After termination of Dollar Cost Averaging for any reason, before reinstating Dollar Cost Averaging, you must wait at least one month if transfers were monthly, at least one quarter if transfers were quarterly, at least six months if transfers were semiannual, and at least one year if transfers were annual.
Asset Reallocation Option	Allows you to automatically transfer Contract Value on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual basis to maintain a particular percentage allocation among the Subaccounts.	There is no charge for this option.	●The Company may discontinue, modify, or suspend the Asset Reallocation Option at any time.
Automatic Investment Program	A program pursuant to which Purchase Payments are automatically paid from your bank account on a specified day of each month or a salary reduction agreement.	There is no charge for this option.	●The minimum subsequent Purchase Payment if you elect an Automatic Investment Program is reduced to $50.
Systematic Withdrawals	Allows you to set up periodic automatic payments of a certain percentage or dollar amount of your Contract Value.	There is no charge for this option.	●Each payment must be at least $100 (unless we consent otherwise). ●Withdrawals may be subject to income tax and penalties.

Optional Benefit
Name of Benefit	Purpose	Maximum Fee (as a percentage of Contract Value)	Brief Description of Restrictions/Limitations
Return of Premium Death Benefit	Provides an enhanced death benefit upon the death of the Owner or any Joint Owner prior to the Annuity Start Date.	0.35%	●The rider is only available at issue. You cannot change or cancel the rider after it has been issued. ●We will reduce the death benefit offered under this rider by any uncollected premium tax. ●If we do not receive due proof of death and instructions regarding payment for each Designated Beneficiary at our Administrative Office within six months of the date of the Owner's death, the death benefit will be the Contract Value on the Valuation Date we receive due proof of death and instructions regarding payment, less any uncollected premium tax. ●The Owner and any Joint Owner must be 80 or younger on the Contract Date. ●Certain withdrawals could significantly reduce or even terminate the benefit, including systematic withdrawals and withdrawals used to pay investment adviser fees. ●The Company will continue to deduct the rider charge after the Annuity Start Date if you elect Annuity Option 5 or 6. ●Withdrawals (including withdrawals to pay advisory fees) reduce the benefit proportionately. This means withdrawals could significantly reduce the benefit by substantially more than the actual amount of the withdrawal, or even terminate the benefit.

Buying the Contract

Your initial Purchase Payment must be at least $50,000. Thereafter, you may choose the amount and frequency of Purchase Payments, except that the minimum subsequent Purchase Payment is $500 ($50 under the Automatic Investment Program). Subject to the Aggregate Purchase Payment Limit discussed below, the Company will accept, without prior Company approval, an initial Purchase Payment in an amount up to $2,000,000 provided that (i) the Owner age at the time of issue is 81 or older (but not older than the maximum issue age) or (ii) the Contract is issued with a Return of Premium Death Benefit Rider. Subject to the Aggregate Purchase Payment Limit discussed below, the Company will accept, without prior Company approval, an initial Purchase Payment in an amount up to $3,000,000 provided that (i) the Owner age at the time of issue is 80 or younger and (ii) the Contract is issued without a Return of Premium Death Benefit Rider. The Company will not accept, without prior Company approval, aggregate Purchase Payments in an amount that exceeds $3,000,000 under all variable annuity contract(s) issued by the Company for which you are an Owner and/or Joint Owner (the "Aggregate Purchase Payment Limit"). Subsequent Purchase Payments under a Qualified Plan may be limited by the terms of the plan and provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company has the right to refuse any Purchase Payment.

The Company will apply the initial Purchase Payment no later than the end of the second Valuation Date after the Valuation Date it is received by the Company, in good order. In this regard "good order" means that the Purchase Payment is preceded or accompanied by an application that contains sufficient information to establish an account and properly credit such Purchase Payment. Sometimes the Purchase Payment is not preceded by or accompanied by a complete application. The application includes your affirmative consent permitting the Company to hold your initial Purchase Payment beyond five Valuation Dates in its effort to complete your application. If your application is incomplete, and the Company is unable to resolve the problem within five Valuation Dates, the Company will notify you of the reasons for the delay. If you affirmatively revoke the consent given with your application to hold your initial Purchase Payment pending resolution of the problem, we will return your Purchase Payment. Otherwise, the Purchase Payment will be applied not later than the second Valuation Date after the Valuation Date the problem is resolved.

The Company will credit subsequent Purchase Payments received in good order as of the end of the Valuation Date on which they are received by the Company; however, subsequent Purchase Payments received at or after close of a Valuation Date (normally 3:00 p.m. Central time) will be effected at the Accumulation Unit value determined on the following Valuation Date.

Making Withdrawals: Accessing the Money in Your Contract

Full and Partial Withdrawals - An Owner may make a partial withdrawal of Contract Value, or surrender the Contract for its Withdrawal Value. Surrender and withdrawal payments will generally be mailed within seven days after we receive the request. A full or partial withdrawal, including a systematic withdrawal, may be taken from the Contract Value at any time while the Owner is living and before the Annuity Start Date, subject to limitations under applicable law. Withdrawals (other than systematic withdrawals or withdrawals to pay investment advisory fees) after the Annuity Start Date are permitted only under Annuity Option 5 (and only if the Owner has elected variable annuity payments under Annuity Option 5). See "Annuity Period" for a discussion of withdrawals after the Annuity Start Date.

A full or partial withdrawal request will be effective as of the end of the Valuation Period that it is received by the Company at its Administrative Office; however, if it is received on a Valuation Date at or after the close of a Valuation Date (normally 3:00 p.m. Central time), the withdrawal will be effected at the Accumulation Unit value determined on the following Valuation Date. In addition, a withdrawal will not be processed unless it is accompanied by a properly completed Withdrawal Request form (including the Owner's signature and the written consent of any effective assignee or irrevocable beneficiary, if applicable).

The proceeds received upon a full withdrawal will be the Contract's Withdrawal Value. The Withdrawal Value is equal to the Contract Value as of the end of the Valuation Period during which the withdrawal is processed, less any uncollected premium taxes.

A partial withdrawal may be requested for a specified percentage or dollar amount of Contract Value. Each partial withdrawal must generally be at least $500 except systematic withdrawals. Partial withdrawals (including systematic withdrawals and withdrawals to pay advisory fees) will result in a payment of the amount specified in the partial withdrawal request less any applicable premium tax charge. Alternatively, you may request these amounts be deducted from your remaining Contract Value, provided there is sufficient Contract Year available.

There may be tax implications when you take out money, including a 10% penalty tax if the withdrawal is made prior to age 59½. Depending on the circumstances, the Internal Revenue Code or your retirement plan may restrict your ability to take withdrawals.

The deduction of advisory fees from your Contract Value is treated as a withdrawal under the Contract. Withdrawals to pay advisory fees may still be treated as withdrawals for tax purposes by the Company and/or the IRS. For Non-Qualified Contracts, all or a portion of the charges deducted from your Contract Value to pay advisory fees to a financial intermediary may be subject to federal and state income taxes and a 10% federal penalty tax. In a series of recent private latter rulings, the IRS has recognized that investment adviser fees may, in certain circumstances and subject to certain conditions, be deemed a part of a Non-Qualified Contract rather than a taxable distribution. We have received such a private letter ruling from the IRS and intend to tax report in accordance with that ruling. See "Charges and Deductions - Deduction of Advisory Fees" in the Prospectus.

Additional Information About Fees

The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you will pay when buying, owning, surrendering, or making withdrawals from the Contract. Please refer to your Contract specifications page for information about the specific fees you will pay each year based on the options you have elected.

The first table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay at the time that you buy the Contract, surrender or make withdrawals from the Contract, or transfer Contract Value between investment options. State premium taxes may also be deducted. The fees and expenses do not reflect any advisory fees paid to financial intermediaries from your Contract Value or other assets. If such charges were reflected, the fees and expenses would be higher.

Transaction Expenses

	Charge
Sales Load Imposed on Purchase Payments	None
Surrender Charge (as a percentage of amount withdrawn attributable to Purchase Payments)	None
Transfer Processing Fee (per transfer)	None

The next table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay each year during the time that you own the Contract (not including Underlying Fund fees and expenses). If you choose to purchase the optional rider, you will pay additional charges, as shown below.

Annual Contract Expenses

	Charge
Administrative Expenses	None
Base Contract Expenses (as a percentage of average Contract Value)	0.45%1
Optional Benefit Expenses - Return of Premium Death Benefit Rider Charge (as a percentage of Contract Value)	0.35%
1 This charge is based on the percentage of Contract Value allocated to the Separate Account. The Base Contract Expenses are 0.55% during the Annuity Period. We reserve the right to apply a higher Base Contract charge to new Subaccounts we add in the future.

The next table below shows the minimum and maximum total operating expenses charged by the Underlying Funds that you may pay periodically during the time that you own the Contract. A complete list of Underlying Funds available under the Contract, including their annual expenses, may be found in Appendix A to this Initial Summary Prospectus.

Annual Underlying Fund Expenses

	Minimum	Maximum
Annual Underlying Fund Expenses (expenses deducted from Underlying Fund assets include management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees, service fees and other expenses)	0.11%	5.19%
Net Annual Underlying Fund Expenses (after contractual waivers/reimbursements)1	0.11%	5.06%
1 Certain of the Underlying Funds have entered into contractual expense waiver or reimbursement arrangements that reduce fund expenses during the period of the arrangement. These arrangements vary in length and are in place at least through April 30, 2026.

Examples - These Examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include transaction expenses, Annual Contract Expenses and annual Underlying Fund fees and expenses but do not include state premium taxes, which may be applicable to your Contract. The Examples do not reflect any advisory fees paid to financial intermediaries from your Contract Value or other assets. If such fees were reflected, the costs would be higher.

These Examples assume that you invest $100,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated. The Examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each year and you elect the optional benefit available for an additional charge. The first Example assumes the most expensive Annual Underlying Fund Expenses. The second Example assumes the least expensive Annual Underlying Fund Expenses. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Based on the Most Expensive Annual Underlying Fund Expenses	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
If you surrender your Contract at the end of the applicable time period	$5,960.35	$17,704.61	$29,217.49	$57,017.06
If you do not surrender; or if you annuitize your Contract at the end of the applicable time period.	$5,960.35	$17,704.61	$29,217.49	$57,017.06

Based on the Least Expensive Annual Underlying Fund Expenses	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
