Rate Sheet Supplement dated May 1, 2026 to the current prospectus for:
Retirement Cornerstone
®
Series 19
This Rate Sheet Supplement (this "Supplement") updates certain information in the prospectus dated May 1, 2026 you received and in any supplements to the prospectus (collectively, the "Prospectus"). You should read this Supplement in conjunction with the Prospectus and retain it for future reference. Unless otherwise indicated, all other information included in the Prospectus remains unchanged. The terms and section headings we use in this Supplement have the same meaning as in the Prospectus. We will send you another copy of any prospectus or supplement without charge upon request. Please contact the customer service group referenced in the Prospectus.
Under the Guaranteed minimum income benefit, we will apply an
initial Annual Roll-up rate
and an
initial Deferral Roll-up rate
during the first seven years of your contract, beginning on the date your contract is issued. For more information, see "Annual Roll-up rate" and "Deferral Roll-up rate" in the "Benefits available under the contract" section of the Prospectus. The effective date of the following rates is
May 1, 2026
(the "Rate effective date") until superseded as described below.
Initial Annual
Roll-up
rate: 7.0%
- See the "Important note for owners age 49 or younger" below.
Initial Deferral
Roll-up
rate: 7.0%
-
See the "Important note for owners age 49 or younger" below.
Guaranteed Roll-up floor: 5.0%
Funding Age for GMIB: 50
If the contract is jointly owned, the GMIB can only be elected and funded if both owners are ages 50 through 80 (ages
50-70
for Series CP
®
).
Important note for owners age 49 or younger:
 Funding of the Guaranteed minimum income benefit and any guaranteed minimum death benefit you elect if you also have the Guaranteed minimum income benefit is only permitted starting at age 50. If you are between the ages of 43 and 49 at the time your contract is issued, the initial Roll-up rates specified in this Supplement will only apply after you attain age 50 for the amount of time then remaining in your first seven contract years. If you are age 42 or younger at the time your contract is issued, the initial Roll-up rates will never apply to your contract, as illustrated in the following chart:
Age at time of contract purchase
Contract years for which the initial
Roll-up
rates will apply

For contract owners age 49 or younger at time of contract purchase, your birthday will determine the size of the portion of the contract year during which the Initial
Roll-up
rates apply. For example, if you signed your contract at age 46 on March 1 and your birthdate is April 1, the Initial
Roll-up
rates will apply for eleven months of your fourth contract year, starting on April 1 of that year.

 The rate effective date of a subsequent Rate Sheet Supplement will be at least 10 days after it is filed.
If you sign your application on or after the above rate effective date and we issue you a contract based on that application during the Rate lock-in period (generally 75 days after the application is signed) and then (1) a subsequent Rate Sheet Supplement with one or more terms
more
favorable than the current Rate Sheet Supplement becomes effective and remains effective through your contract issue date,
and
(2) none of the terms on the subsequent Rate Sheet Supplement are
less
favorable than the current Rate Sheet Supplement, then we will change your terms to match all of the terms on the subsequent Rate Sheet Supplement.
Please note
: If the GMIB annuity purchase factor floor rate is lower and/or the GMIB annuity purchase factor floor GMIB exercise age range starts at a higher age on the subsequent Rate Sheet Supplement, we consider those terms less favorable than the terms on the current Rate Sheet Supplement and, accordingly, will not change your terms to match any of the terms on the subsequent Rate Sheet Supplement.
If we issue you a contract based on that application after the Rate
lock-in
period ends (generally 75 days after the application is signed), the initial Annual
Roll-up
or Deferral rate, guaranteed
Roll-up
floor, GMIB funding age, GMIB annuity purchase factors, GMIB annuity purchase factor floor rate and age, and/or GMIB and GMDB charge(s) applicable to your contract will be those in effect on the date your contract is issued based on the Rate Sheet Supplement then in effect. The terms in that supplement could be less favorable than those in this supplement.
See "Rate lock-in period" in the "Benefits available under the contract" section of the Prospectus. The Rate lock-in period may vary in some states. See Appendix "State contract availability and/or variations of certain features and benefits" in the Prospectus.
