TABLE OF CONTENTS​​
OVERVIEW OF THE VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACT
Q: What is this Contract, and what is it designed to do?
A: The Schwab Genesis Advisory Variable Annuity Contract is designed to provide long-term accumulation of assets through investments in a variety of Investment Options during the accumulation phase. It can supplement your retirement income by providing a stream of income payments during the payout phase. It also offers death benefits to protect your beneficiaries. This Contract may be appropriate if you have a long investment time horizon. It is not intended for people who may need to make early or frequent withdrawals or intend to engage in frequent trading in the Funds, and may not be appropriate for you if you do not have a long-term investment horizon.
If you elect to pay Advisory Fees from your Contract Value, this deduction will reduce the death benefits and other guaranteed benefits. If certain requirements are not satisfied, the payment of Advisory Fees from your Contract Value may be subject to federal and state income taxes and a 10% federal additional tax if you are younger than age 59½. See "Advisory Fees Paid From Your Contract Value."
Q: How do I accumulate assets in this Contract and receive income from the Contract?
A: Your Contract has two phases: 1) an accumulation (savings) phase: and 2) a payout (income) phase.
1.
Accumulation (Savings) Phase
To help you accumulate assets, you can invest your Purchase Payments in:

Funds (mutual funds), each of which has its own investment strategies, investment advisers, expense ratios, and returns; and

The Fixed Account option, which offers a guaranteed interest rate during a selected period.
Additional information about the Funds in which you can invest is provided in the back of this Summary Prospectus. See APPENDIX: INVESTMENT OPTIONS AVAILABLE UNDER THE CONTRACT.
2.
Payout (Income) Phase
You can elect to annuitize your Contract and turn your Contract Value into a stream of income payments (sometimes called annuity payments) from the Company, at which time the accumulation phase of the Contract ends. These payments may continue for a fixed period of years, for your entire life, or for the longer of a fixed period or your life. The payments may also be fixed or variable. Variable payments will vary based on the performance of the Investment Options you select. Please note that if you annuitize, your investments will be converted to income payments and you may no longer be able to choose to withdraw money at will from your Contract. All benefits (including guaranteed minimum death benefits and living benefits) terminate upon annuitization.
Q: What are the primary features and options that this Contract offers?
A: Accessing your money. Until you annuitize, you have full access to your money. You can choose to withdraw your Contract Value at any time (although if you withdraw early, you may have to pay income taxes, including an additional tax 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 generally taxed when: (1) you make a withdrawal or (2) you receive an income payment from the Contract. Your beneficiary is taxed upon payment of a death benefit. For more information, see "Federal Tax Matters".
Death benefits. Your Contract includes a basic death benefit, the Contract Value Death Benefit, that will pay your beneficiaries the Contract Value as of the date we receive Due Proof of Death, minus applicable fees and charges. You can purchase an optional death benefit for an additional fee. The optional death benefit may increase the amount of money payable to your beneficiaries upon your death.
Optional benefits that occur during your lifetime. For an additional fee, you can purchase a Protected Lifetime Income Benefit rider (the SecurePay Life rider) to help protect your retirement income from declining markets and/or provide income guarantees to help protect you from outliving your assets, while still maintaining access to your money.
Portfolio rebalancing and dollar cost averaging. At no additional charge, you may select portfolio rebalancing, which automatically rebalances the Sub-Accounts you select to maintain your chosen percentage allocation of Variable Account value among the Sub-Accounts. Alternatively, at no additional charge, you may select dollar cost averaging (DCA), which automatically transfers a specific amount of money from the DCA Account or the Fixed Account to the Sub-Accounts you have selected, at set intervals over a specific period of time.
5
TABLE OF CONTENTS​​
Automatic withdrawals. You may make pre-authorized withdrawals of a level dollar amount from the Contract on a monthly or quarterly basis before the Annuity Date. There is no charge for the automatic withdrawal program. However, you may have to pay income taxes, including a 10% additional tax if you are younger than age 59½.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU SHOULD CONSIDER ABOUT THE CONTRACT
FEES, EXPENSES, AND ADJUSTMENTS
Are There Charges or Adjustments for Early Withdrawals? No. The Contract does not include charges for early withdrawal.
Are There Transaction Charges?
Yes. You may be charged $25 per transfer for each transfer after the first 12 transfers in a Contract Year. Currently, we do not assess this charge.
For additional information about transaction charges, see "FEE TABLE - Transaction Expenses" and "CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS" in the Prospectus.
Are There Ongoing Fees and Expenses (annual charges)?
Yes. The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay each year, depending on the options you choose. 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. Fees and expenses in the table do not reflect any Advisory Fees paid from Contract Value or other assets of the Owner and if such charges were reflected, the fees and expenses would be higher.

RISKS
Is There a Risk of Loss from Poor Performance?
Yes. You can lose money by investing in this Contract, including loss of principal.
For additional information about the risk of loss, see "PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE CONTRACT" in the Prospectus.
Is this a Short-Term Investment?
No. This Contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. Although you are permitted to take withdrawals or surrender the Contract, federal and state income taxes may apply.
Withdrawals will reduce your Contract Value and death benefit. If you elect to pay Advisory Fees from your Contract Value, this deduction will reduce the death benefits and other guaranteed benefits.
The benefits of tax deferral and living benefit protections also mean the Contract is less beneficial to investors with a short time horizon.
For additional information about the investment profile of the Contract, see "PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE CONTRACT," "CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS," "FEDERAL TAX MATTERS," "ADVISORY FEES PAID FROM YOUR CONTRACT VALUE," and "TAXATION OF ANNUITIES IN GENERAL" in the Prospectus.
What Are the Risks Associated with the Investment Options?
An investment in this Contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the Investment Options available under the Contract.
Each Investment Option (including the Guaranteed Account) has its own unique risks.
You should review the prospectuses for the available Funds and consult with your financial professional before making an investment decision.
For additional information about the risks associated with Investment Options, see "PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE CONTRACT" in the Prospectus.
What Are the Risks Related to the Insurance Company?
An investment in the Contract is subject to the risks related to the Company. Any obligations (including under the Guaranteed Account), guarantees, or benefits under the Contract are subject to the claims-paying ability of the Company. More information about the Company, including its financial strength ratings, is available upon request at no charge by calling us at 1-800-456-6330 or writing us at the address shown on the cover page.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
RESTRICTIONS
Are There Restrictions on the Investment Options?
Yes. Currently, there is no charge when you transfer Contract Value among Investment Options. However, we reserve the right to charge $25 for each transfer after the first 12 transfers in any Contract Year in the future.
We reserve the right to remove or substitute Funds as Investment Options that are available under the Contract. We also reserve the right to restrict the allocation of additional Purchase Payments and/or transfers of Contract Value to a Fund if we determine the Fund no longer meets one or more of our Fund selection criteria and/or if a Fund has not attracted significant contract owner assets.
For additional information about Investment Options, see "CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS - Transfer Fee" and "THE COMPANY, VARIABLE ACCOUNT AND FUNDS - Selection of Funds - Addition, Deletion or Substitutions of Investments" in the Prospectus.
Are There any Restrictions on Contract Benefits?
Yes. If you select a Protected Lifetime Income Benefit rider:

The Investment Options available to you under the Contract will be limited.

You may not make additional Purchase Payments two years or more after the Rider Issue Date or on or after the Benefit Election Date, whichever comes first.

Withdrawals from Contract Value that exceed the annual withdrawal amount under the rider may significantly reduce or eliminate the rider benefits.

We may stop offering an optional benefit rider at any time.
If you elect to pay Advisory Fees from your Contract Value, this deduction will reduce the death benefits and other guaranteed benefits.
If you purchased an optional death benefit, withdrawals may also reduce the benefit by an amount greater than the value withdrawn.
For additional information about the optional benefits, see "PROTECTED LIFETIME INCOME BENEFITS" and "ADVISORY FEES PAID FROM YOUR CONTRACT VALUE" and "DEATH BENEFIT - Selecting A Death Benefit" in the Prospectus.
TAXES
What Are the Contract's Tax Implications?
You should consult with a qualified tax advisor regarding the federal tax implications of an investment in, payments received under, and other transactions in connection with this Contract.
If you purchase the Contract through a tax-qualified plan or individual retirement arrangement (IRA), you do not get any additional tax deferral. Generally, all earnings on the investments underlying the Contract are tax-deferred until distributed or deemed distributed. A distribution from a non-Qualified Contract, which includes a surrender, withdrawal, payment of a death benefit, or annuity income payments, will generally result in taxable income if there has been an increase in the Contract Value. In the case of a Qualified Contract, a distribution generally will result in taxable income even if there has not been an increase in the Contract Value. In certain circumstances, a 10% additional tax may also apply if the Owner takes a withdrawal before age 59½. All amounts includable in income with respect to the Contract are taxed as ordinary income; no amounts are taxed at the special lower rates applicable to long term capital gains and corporate dividends. If you elect to have Advisory Fees paid out of your Contract Value, this deduction may be subject to federal and state income taxes and a 10% federal additional tax if you are younger than age 59 1/2.
For additional information about tax implications, see "FEDERAL TAX MATTERS" and "TAXATION OF ANNUITIES IN GENERAL" in the Prospectus.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
How Are Investment Professionals Compensated?
Some investment professionals may receive compensation for promoting and selling this Contract to you in the form of marketing allowances, cash, and other compensation. These investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer or recommend the Contract over another investment.
For additional information about compensation, see "DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACTS" in the Prospectus.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Should I Exchange My Contract?
Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a new contract in place of the contract you already own. You should only exchange your current contract 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.
For additional information about exchanges, see "TAXATION OF ANNUITIES IN GENERAL - Exchanges of Annuity Contracts" in the Prospectus.

Automatically withdraws a level dollar amount from the Contract on a monthly or quarterly basis before the Annuity Date.
No Charge

Income taxes, including a 10% additional tax if you are younger than age 59½, may apply.

If you select the SecurePay rider, the AWP will reduce Benefit Base and available SecurePay withdrawals.
BUYING THE CONTRACT
Q: How do I purchase the Schwab Genesis Advisory Variable Annuity Contract?
A: You must complete and submit an application, along with your initial Purchase Payment, to Protective Life through a licensed representative of Protective Life. Once we have received and approved your application, we will send you your Contract and a statement confirming your investments.
Q: How much can I contribute and how are my contributions invested?
A: Your Purchase Payment will be invested in the Investment Options that you choose.
Minimum Initial Purchase Payment
$5,000
Minimum Subsequent Purchase Payment
$100 ($50 if made by
electronic funds transfer)
Maximum Aggregate Purchase Payment (1)
$1,000,000
(1)
We can reject any Purchase Payments for any reason. We may also permit you to invest more than the maximum amounts listed above if you obtain our prior approval.
After your initial Purchase Payment, you are not required to make any additional Purchase Payments under your Contract.
Q: When will any Purchase Payments that I make be credited to my Contract?
A: Initial Purchase Payment: Your financial professional must determine that the Contract is suitable for you and transmit your application to us. If your application is complete when received by us and we also received your initial Purchase Payment, we will issue your Contract and allocate your initial Purchase Payment to the Investment Options you direct within 2 business days. If some information is missing from your application, we may delay issuing your Contract and crediting your Contract while we obtain the missing information. However, we will not hold your initial

TABLE OF CONTENTS​​
Purchase Payment for more than 5 business days without your permission. Once the information is complete, we will allocate your initial Purchase Payment to the Investment Options you direct within 2 business days.
Subsequent Purchase Payment: if we receive a subsequent Purchase Payment before the close of the NYSE (typically 3:00 p.m. Central Time), we will apply your Purchase Payment as of the end of that Valuation Date. If we receive your subsequent Purchase Payment at or after the close of the NYSE, your payment will be applied on the next Valuation Date.
MAKING WITHDRAWALS: ACCESSING THE MONEY IN YOUR CONTRACT
Q: Can I access the money in my Contract during the asset accumulation (savings) phase?
A: You can access the money in your Contract by making a withdrawal, which will reduce the value of your Contract (including the amount of the death benefit). You may withdraw all or a portion of your Contract Value (minus applicable charges and other adjustments, discussed below). However, withdrawing the entire Contract Value will terminate your Contract.
Certain withdrawals may reduce the value of the SecurePay rider you elected. This optional living benefit rider provides withdrawal options.
Q: Are there any limitations associated with taking money out of my Contract during the asset accumulation (savings) phase?
A: Yes. These limitations are as follows:
Limitations on withdrawal amounts

At any time before the Annuity Date, you may withdraw the Contract Value provided the Contract Value remaining after the withdrawal is at least $5,000.If you request a withdrawal that would reduce your Contract Value below $5,000, we will (1) confirm the request for partial withdrawal with the Contract Owner, and, (2) if the request is confirmed, will treat the request for partial withdrawal as a request to fully surrender the Contract.

If you select the SecurePay rider, special withdrawal rules apply.
Surrender charges and taxes

Federal and state income taxes may apply, as well as a 10% federal additional tax if the withdrawal occurs before the Owner reaches age 59½.
Negative impact of withdrawal on other benefits and guarantees of your Contract

Withdrawals reduce your Contract Value and death benefit, and may reduce the value of the the SecurePay rider.
Q: What is the process to request a withdrawal of money from my Contract?
A: You can request to withdraw all or a portion of your Contract Value (that is your Contract Value less any prorated Contract fees) on any business day through your financial intermediary, by calling us, facsimile or mailing a request to: (1) Protective Life Insurance Company, P.O. Box 10648, Birmingham, Alabama 35202-0648 (if sent by the U.S. postal service); or (2) to Protective Life Insurance Company, 2801 Highway 280 South, Birmingham, Alabama 35223 (if sent by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service). Generally, for withdrawal or surrender requests received in good order before the close of the New York Stock Exchange (typically 3:00 p.m. Central Time), we will process your request that Valuation Date. If we receive your request in good order at or after the close of the New York Stock Exchange, your request will be processed the next Valuation Date. We will generally pay the amount withdrawn or surrendered within seven days.
Q: Can I access the money in my account during the annuity (income) phase?
A: You will receive payments under the annuity payment option you select. However, unless you select an annuity payment option for a certain period that provides variable income payments, you may not take any other withdrawals.

TABLE OF CONTENTS​​
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT FEES
The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you will pay when buying, owning, and 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 charges that you will pay at the time 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. These fees and expenses do not reflect any Advisory Fees paid to Financial Intermediaries from Contract Value or other assets of the Owner for the provision of investment advice. If such charges were reflected, costs would be higher.
TRANSACTION EXPENSES
Transfer Fee (1)
$25
(1)
Protective Life currently does not charge this Transfer Fee, but reserves the right to do so in the future for each transfer after the first 12 transfers in any Contract Year. We will give written notice thirty (30) days before we impose a Transfer Fee. (See "CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS, Transfer Fee" in the Prospectus.)
The next table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay each year during the time that you own the Contract, not including Fund fees and expenses. If you choose to purchase an optional benefit, you will pay additional charges, as shown below.
ANNUAL CONTRACT EXPENSES
Base Contract Expenses (as a percentage of average Variable Account value)(1)
0.25%
Optional Benefit Expenses
Return of Purchase Payments Death Benefit Fee (as an annualized percentage of the death benefit, beginning on the 1st Monthly Anniversary Date)
0.20%
Protected Lifetime Income Benefits
SecurePay Life Rider Fee(2) (as an annualized percentage of the Benefit Base(3) on each Monthly Anniversary Date, beginning with the 1st Monthly Anniversary Date following election of the rider)

See Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement for current rates.
Purchase of SecurePay Life rider
under RightTime
2.20%
See Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement for current rates.
(1)
Base Contract Expenses include a mortality and expense risk charge equal on an annual basis to 0.15% of the average daily net assets of the Variable Account attributable to your Contract and an administration charge equal on an annual basis to 0.10% of average daily net assets of the Variable Account attributable to your Contract.
(2)
We will give you at least 30 days' written notice before any increase in the SecurePay Fee. You may elect not to pay the increase in your SecurePay Fee. If you do, your SecurePay Life rider will not terminate, but your current Benefit Base will be capped at its then current value. You will continue to be assessed your current SecurePay Fee, however, even though you will have given up the opportunity for any future increases in your Benefit Base. See "THE SECUREPAY LIFE RIDER" in the Prospectus.
(3)
The Benefit Base is a value used to calculate the Annual Withdrawal Amounts, and the fees charged, under the SecurePay Life rider. If the rider is purchased at issue, your initial Benefit Base is equal to your initial purchase payments. If the rider is added through RightTime, your initial Benefit Base is equal to your Contract Value on the Rider Issue Date. For more information on the SecurePay Life rider, the Benefit Base and how it is calculated, please see "THE SECUREPAY LIFE RIDER" in the Prospectus.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Example
The following examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. The examples show the costs of investing in the Contract, including owner transaction expenses, Base Contract Expenses, any optional rider charges, and both maximum and minimum Annual Fund Expenses.
The examples assume that you invest $100,000 in the Contract for the periods indicated. The examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each year. The examples do not reflect any Advisory Fees paid to Financial Intermediaries from Contract Value or other assets of the Owner, and if such fees were reflected, costs would be higher.

The first example assumes that you purchased the SecurePay Life rider with RightTime at the maximum rider fees.

The second example assumes that you have not purchased the the SecurePay Life rider.

The examples also assume that the Return of Purchase Payments Death Benefit is in effect, and that all Contract Value is allocated to the Variable Account. The examples do not reflect transfer fees.

The examples do not reflect premium taxes, which may range up to 3.5% depending on the jurisdiction.

If you have purchased the SecurePay Life rider, you must allocate your Purchase Payments and Contract Value in accordance with the Allocation Guidelines and Restrictions that we have established. The following table specifies the minimum and maximum percentages of your Contract Value that must be allocated to each of the four Investment Categories during the accumulation phase in order for you to remain eligible for benefits under the SecurePay Life rider (unless you are fully invested in a Benefit Allocation Model or a permissible single investment option). You can select the percentage of Contract Value to allocate to individual Funds within each group, but the total investment for all Funds in a group must comply with the specified minimum and maximum percentages for that group. See "ALLOCATION GUIDELINES AND RESTRICTIONS FOR PROTECTED LIFETIME INCOME BENEFITS" in the Prospectus.
