The information in this supplement updates and amends certain information contained in the variable annuity contract prospectuses listed above. Please retain this supplement with your prospectus for future reference.

You are receiving this prospectus supplement because we are making important changes to certain Optional Living Benefit riders that were offered under your contract.

Section 1 of the Supplement:

New Funds

Beginning Nov. 18, 2013, four new investment options, known as the Portfolio Stabilizer funds, will be available if you selected one of the following Optional Living benefit riders:

 

   

SecureSource® Flex

 

   

SecureSource Stages 2®

 

   

SecureSource Stages NY ®

 

   

Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (Withdrawal Benefit)

 

   

Guarantor Withdrawal Benefit for Life® (GWB for Life®)

 

   

SecureSource®

 

   

Accumulation Protector Benefit (APB)

 

   

Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit (Accumulation Benefit)

Please see Section 1. “New Investment Options” below for a full description of new investment options. In this supplement we may refer to investment options individually as a “fund” or collectively as “funds.” In addition, when discussing the new investment options available, we may collectively refer to them as the “Portfolio Stabilizer funds.”

Sections 2 and 3 of the Supplement:

Fee Changes

These changes only apply to you if you selected one of the following Optional Living Benefit riders:

 

   

Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (Withdrawal Benefit)

 

   

Guarantor Withdrawal Benefit for Life® (GWB for Life®)

 

   

SecureSource®

 

   

Accumulation Protector Benefit (APB)

 

   

Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit (Accumulation Benefit)

 

1


If you have the Withdrawal Benefit (including Enhanced Withdrawal Benefit), GWB for Life or SecureSource riders and your contract value is invested in the Variable Portfolio—Aggressive Portfolio or the Variable Portfolio—Moderately Aggressive Portfolio, effective Dec. 18, 2013, you may be subject to the fee increase, as described below in Section 2 “Fee Changes for Withdrawal Benefit, GWB for Life and SecureSource riders” of this supplement.

If you have the APB or Accumulation Benefit rider and we receive your request for the elective step up or the elective spousal continuation step up on or after Nov. 18, 2013, the annual fee that will apply to your rider may change depending on the fund in which your contract value is invested, as described below in Section 3 “APB and Accumulation Benefit rider fee for elective Step ups” of this supplement.

 

  1. New Investment Options

Beginning November 18, 2013, if you selected one of the Optional Living Benefit riders listed above, we are making the following Portfolio Stabilizer funds (singularly “the Fund” or collectively “the Funds”) available to you:

 

  1. Columbia Variable Portfolio –Managed Volatility Conservative Fund (Class 2)

 

  2. Columbia Variable Portfolio –Managed Volatility Conservative Growth Fund (Class 2)

 

  3. Columbia Variable Portfolio –Managed Volatility Moderate Growth Fund (Class 2)

 

  4. Columbia Variable Portfolio –Managed Volatility Growth Fund (Class 2)

These new Funds are available as an alternative to the Portfolio Navigator funds that are currently available to you. You may choose to remain invested in your current Portfolio Navigator fund, move to a different Portfolio Navigator fund, or move to a Portfolio Stabilizer fund. Your decision should be made based on your own individual investment objectives and financial situation, and in consultation with your financial adviser.

If you are currently invested in a Portfolio Navigator fund and choose to reallocate your contract value to a Portfolio Stabilizer fund, you will no longer have access to any of the Portfolio Navigator funds, but you may change to any one of the other Portfolio Stabilizer funds, subject to the transfer limits applicable to your rider.

The Portfolio Stabilizer funds. The investment objective of each Portfolio Stabilizer fund is to achieve total return while managing exposure to equity market volatility.

Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (Columbia Management) is the investment adviser of the Funds and each underlying fund in which the Funds invest. Columbia Management considers the independent analysis of Morningstar Associates (Morningstar), an independent investment consultant, with respect to the performance of the underlying funds, the types of investment categories represented by the underlying funds, and the consideration of additional asset classes, or segments within these classes represented by the underlying funds. Columbia Management retains full discretion over the funds’ investment activities. Neither Columbia Management Investment Advisers nor Morningstar Associates, LLC serves as your investment adviser as to the allocation of your contract value to the Portfolio Stabilizer funds.

Some of the underlying funds are managed on a day-to-day basis directly by Columbia Management and some are managed by one or more affiliated sub-advisers, subject to the oversight of Columbia Management and the Funds’ board of trustees.

The Funds are diversified funds that, under normal market conditions, pursue their investment objectives by allocating the Funds’ assets across equity and debt asset classes through investments in a mix of affiliated mutual funds (underlying funds). Further, in seeking to manage equity market volatility, the Funds employ a tactical allocation strategy of utilizing:

 

   

derivative transactions (such as credit default swap indexes, futures, swaps, forward rate agreements and options);

 

   

direct investments in exchange-traded funds (ETFs); and

 

2


   

direct investments in fixed-income or debt securities (such as investment grade corporate bonds, high yield (i.e., junk) instruments, sovereign debt, U.S. Government bonds and notes, Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS), mortgage- and asset-backed securities and international bonds, each with varying interest rates, terms, durations and credit exposures).

The investments described above as part of the tactical allocation strategy are primarily utilized to adjust (increase or reduce) the Funds’ exposure to different asset classes and various segments within these asset classes.

In general, when the Funds’ investment adviser, Columbia Management, determines that equity market volatility is relatively low, it may increase the Funds’ equity exposure and decrease the Funds’ debt exposure. Conversely, if it determines that volatility in the equity market is relatively high, it may reduce (or, in certain extreme cases, eliminate entirely) the Funds’ equity exposure and, correspondingly, increase the Funds’ debt exposure.

For additional information about the Funds’ investment strategies and risks, see the Funds’ prospectuses.

Investing in the Portfolio Stabilizer funds. If you choose to invest in a Portfolio Stabilizer fund, you are responsible for determining which one is appropriate for you. Currently, you may not use more than one Portfolio Stabilizer fund at a time. Your financial advisor can help you determine which Fund most closely matches your investing style, based on factors such as your investment goals, your tolerance for risk and how long you intend to invest. There is no guarantee that the Fund you select is appropriate for you based on your ability to withstand investment risk. We are not responsible for your decision to select a certain Fund or your decision to change to another Fund.

If you have initially allocated qualifying purchase payments to the Special DCA fixed account (if available), we will make monthly transfers from the Special DCA fixed account into the Fund you have chosen.

You may change your Fund selection up to two times per contract year by written request on an authorized form or by another method agreed to by us. However, an initial transfer from a Portfolio Navigator fund to a Portfolio Stabilizer fund will not count toward this limitation. We reserve the right to: (1) limit the number of fund transfers if required to comply with the written instructions of a fund; and (2) increase or decrease the number of funds available to you.

If you decide to annuitize your contract (convert your annuity into a stream of income payments), your rider will terminate and you will no longer have access to Portfolio Stabilizer funds.

Risks. Although an investment in the Funds may have the effect of mitigating declines in your contract value in the event of a significant decline in equity market valuations, the strategies followed by the Funds, if successful, will also generally result in your contract value increasing to a lesser degree than the equity markets, or decreasing, when the values of equity investments are stable or rising. This may deprive you of some or all of the benefits of increases in equity market values under your contract and could also result in a decrease in your contract value. In addition, there is no guarantee that the Funds’ strategies will have their intended effect, or that they will work as effectively as is intended.

Before you decide to transfer contract value to one of the Portfolio Stabilizer funds, you and your financial advisor should carefully consider the following:

 

   

Whether or not the Portfolio Stabilizer fund meets your investment objectives and/or risk tolerance.

 

   

The permanent loss of your ability to invest in any of the Portfolio Navigator funds. The funds in which you may invest contract value will be limited to the Portfolio Stabilizer funds. If you decide to no longer invest your contract value in the Portfolio Stabilizer funds, your only option will be to terminate your contract by requesting a full surrender. Surrender charges and tax penalties may apply.

 

   

For total expenses associated with the rider, you should consider not only the variation of the rider fee, but also the variation in fees among the various funds. You should also consider your overall investment objective, as well as how total fees and your selected fund’s investment objective may impact the amount of any Step up opportunities in the future.

 

3


Automatic reallocation after taking withdrawal. If you selected the SecureSource, SecureSource Flex or any SecureSource Stages riders, under the rules currently applicable to investments in the Portfolio Navigator funds, your contract value will be automatically reallocated to the Moderate option, Variable Portfolio – Moderate Portfolio once you begin taking withdrawals if the fund you are invested in is more aggressive. By contrast, under the rules applicable to investments in the Portfolio Stabilizer funds, your contract value will not automatically be reallocated to a more conservative investment option after you begin taking withdrawals.

Substitution and modification. We reserve the right to add, remove or substitute funds. We also reserve the right, upon notification to you, to close or restrict any fund. Any change will apply to current allocations and/or to future payments and transfers. If your living benefit rider is terminated, you may remain invested in the Portfolio Stabilizer funds, but you will not be allowed to allocate future purchase payments or make transfers to these funds. Any substitution of funds may be subject to Securities and Exchange Commission approval.

Portfolio Stabilizer and Portfolio Navigator funds conflicts of interest. Columbia Management is affiliated with RiverSource Life Insurance Company and RiverSource Life Insurance Co. of New York (“we”, “us” and “our”). In providing investment advisory services, Columbia Management and its affiliates, including us, are subject to competing interests that may influence our decisions. These competing interests typically arise because Columbia Management or one of its affiliates serves as the investment adviser to the underlying funds, and because the compensation we and our affiliates receive for providing these investment advisory and other services varies depending on the underlying fund.

In addition, the investment strategies of the Portfolio Stabilizer funds are intended in part to reduce risks of investment losses that would require us to use our own assets to make payments in connection with the guarantees provided by your rider. To the extent that the strategies are successful, we will benefit from a reduction of the risk arising from our guarantee obligations under the riders and we will have less risk to hedge under the rider than would be the case if contract owners did not invest in the Funds. For example, the Funds are managed in a way that is intended to minimize volatility of returns and hedge against the effects of interest rate changes. Our financial interest in reducing the volatility of overall contract values invested under the riders, in light of our obligations under the rider, may be deemed to present a potential conflict of interest with respect to the interests of the contract owners electing one of the riders, in that our interest may at times conflict with the Funds’ investment objectives when markets are appreciating.

For additional information about the conflicts of interest to which Columbia Management and its affiliates are subject, see the Funds’ prospectuses.

Annual operating fund expenses. The tables below show annual operating expenses for each Portfolio Stabilizer fund and each Portfolio Navigator fund. The tables do not reflect any rider fees, charges or expenses imposed by us on subaccounts or contracts. If such fees, sales charges or expenses had been included, the expenses set forth below would be higher.

  2. Fee Changes for Withdrawal Benefit, GWB for Life and SecureSource riders

These changes ONLY apply to you if you selected Withdrawal Benefit, GWB for Life and SecureSource riders.

Effective Dec. 18, 2013, we are exercising our right to increase the rider fee for Withdrawal Benefit, GWB for Life and SecureSource riders and to vary that fee depending on the fund in which your contract value is invested.

Your variable annuity contract limits the circumstances under which we may increase your fee for the rider. Under the terms of your contract, we may increase the fee only if you:

 

   

Choose the annual elective step up or the elective spousal continuation step up to “lock in” contract gains used to calculate the rider guarantees (the Step up), or

 

   

Elect to transfer your contract value to an investment option with a higher annual fee. Our current administrative process is only to apply to the fee increase for more aggressive transfers to a Variable Portfolio –Moderately Aggressive Portfolio or Variable Portfolio –Aggressive Portfolio.

 

5


Consequently, whether your rider fee will increase and when such a fee increase will take effect will depend on the choices you make.

Currently, the rider fee does not vary among the five Portfolio Navigator funds and your contract gains are automatically locked in each year (automatic Step up) on your contract anniversary if your contract value is higher than your benefit value, as defined in your prospectus. If your contract was issued prior to 5/1/2006 and you did not move to the Enhanced Withdrawal Benefit, your contract gains are not locked in automatically. Instead, you may elect the Step up option once each contract year within 30 days after your contract anniversary.

On your next contract anniversary after Dec. 18, 2013, the following will apply to the rider fees we charge and your choice regarding how these fee changes will apply to you.

If your contract value is allocated to the Variable Portfolio –Moderately Aggressive Portfolio or Variable Portfolio –Aggressive Portfolio, you will have the following choices:

 

  1. Remain invested in your current Portfolio Navigator fund and elect to Step up and lock in your contract gains. If you make this decision, your rider fee will increase.

 

  2. Move to one of the Portfolio Stabilizer funds. If you do this, your rider fee will not increase, but remember that you will lose your access to invest in the Portfolio Navigator funds. If you are eligible and want to receive a Step up, you will need to take action and elect to Step up or wait until the next contract anniversary to receive an automatic Step up.

 

  3. Do not elect a Step up, if eligible. You will not lock in contract gains, but you rider fee will stay the same.

If your contract value is not allocated to the Variable Portfolio –Moderately Aggressive Portfolio or Variable Portfolio –Aggressive Portfolio, no action is required. You will only incur the rider fee increase if you transfer your contract value to the Variable Portfolio –Moderately Aggressive Portfolio or Variable Portfolio –Aggressive Portfolio.

If during the 30 days after the contract anniversary you transfer your contract value to a Portfolio Stabilizer fund or a less aggressive Portfolio Navigator fund not impacted by the fee increase and you want to receive a Step up, you will need to take action and elect to Step up or wait until the next contract anniversary to receive an automatic Step up.

Rider fees may increase or decrease as you move to various funds as shown in the tables below. Your fee will increase if you transfer your contract value to a more aggressive Portfolio Navigator fund with a higher fee. If you transfer to a less aggressive Portfolio Navigator fund or transfer to a Portfolio Stabilizer fund, you r fee may decrease. Certain rider fees may not change depending on the fund in which your contract value is allocated.

If your contract value is allocated to the Variable Portfolio –Moderately Aggressive Portfolio or Variable Portfolio –Aggressive Portfolio, we will notify you in writing about your opportunity to elect to Step up (if eligible) and incur the higher rider fee or maintain your guaranteed benefit at its current level and keep your rider fee the same. If you stay invested in your current Portfolio Navigator fund, you will receive another letter from us approximately 30 days before your next annuity contract anniversary after the rider fee increase. This letter will describe the potential opportunity to elect a Step up to increase your guaranteed income and how to make the election, if eligible. You will have a 30 day period beginning on your next contract anniversary to choose whether to Step up and accept the fee increase. The Step up and new fee will be effective on the date we receive your request for the Step up (Step up date).

Each year, we will continue to provide you written notice of your options with respect to the Step ups and the fee increase until you:

 

  (i) incur a higher rider fee (by electing a Step up or transferring to a fund with a higher rider fee), or

 

  (ii) transfer to one of the Portfolio Stabilizer funds, or

 

  (iii) are invested in the Variable Portfolio—Moderate Portfolio, the Variable Portfolio—Moderately Conservative Portfolio, or the Variable Portfolio—Conservative Portfolio.

 

6


Once you have accepted the fee increase associated with your investment in the Variable Portfolio—Aggressive Portfolio or the Variable Portfolio—Moderately Aggressive Portfolio or you have transferred your contract value to a Portfolio Stabilizer fund or Portfolio Navigator fund that is not subject to a fee increase, you will become eligible for automatic Step ups under the rider (not applicable for contracts issued prior to 5/1/2006 with the original Withdrawal Benefit rider).

Before you elect a Step up resulting in an increased rider fee, you should carefully consider the benefit of the contract value gains you are locking-in and the increased rider fee compared to your other options including whether it is appropriate to consider moving to a fund with a lower corresponding rider fee.

Subject to the terms of your contract, we reserve the right to further increase the rider fee up to the maximum limit provided by your rider and to change fees (in the case of the Portfolio Navigator funds) or vary fees (in the case of the Portfolio Stabilizer funds) based on the fund you select.

For a full description and rules applicable to Step up options under your rider, please see “Optional Living Benefits” section in your current prospectus.

  3. APB and Accumulation Benefit rider fee for elective Step ups

For contracts with the APB and Accumulation Benefit rider, if we receive your request for the elective Step up or the elective spousal continuation Step up on or after Nov. 18, 2013, the fee that will apply to your rider will correspond to the fund in which you are invested at that time, as shown in the tables below.

You can request the elective Step up only once per contract year, within thirty days following each contract anniversary, but prior to the benefit date, as defined in your prospectus. The Step up and the new fee will be effective on the date we receive your request for the Step up.

You will pay the fee that is in effect on the valuation date we receive your written request to Step up. Due to rider fees varying by fund, beginning on contracts anniversaries on or after November 18, 2013, the provision of your prospectus in the “Optional Living Benefit Charges – Accumulation Benefit Rider Fee” or “Optional Living Benefit Charges – Accumulation Protector Benefit Rider Fee” sections detailing that the new rider fees will be charged for the entire contract year, is modified as follows:

If your annual rider fee changes during the contract year, on the next contract anniversary we will calculate an average rider fee that reflects the various different fees that were in effect that year, adjusted for the number of calendar days each fee was in effect.

Subject to the terms of your contract, we reserve the right to further increase the rider fees to the maximum limit provided by your rider and to vary the rider fees based on the fund you select.

Currently, we waive our right to increase the fee for investment option changes. There is no assurance that we will not exercise our right in the future.

Item 27. Number of Contract owners

As of July 31, 2013 there were 199,326 non-qualified contract owners and 468,978 qualified contract owners.

 

Item 28. Indemnification

The amended and restated By-Laws of the depositor provide that the depositor will indemnify, to the fullest extent now or hereafter provided for or permitted by law, each person involved in, or made or threatened to be made a party to, any action, suit, claim or proceeding, whether civil or criminal, including any investigative, administrative, legislative, or other proceeding, and including any action by or in the right of the depositor or any other corporation, or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise (any such entity, other than the depositor, being hereinafter referred to as an “Enterprise”), and including appeals therein (any such action or process being hereinafter referred to as a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that such person, such person’s testator or intestate (i) is or was a director or officer of the depositor, or (ii) is or was serving, at the request of the depositor, as a director, officer, or in any other capacity, or any other Enterprise, against any and all judgments, amounts paid in settlement, and expenses, including attorney’s fees, actually and reasonably incurred as a result of or in connection with any Proceeding, except as provided below.

No indemnification will be made to or on behalf of any such person if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to such person establishes that such person’s acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or that such person personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which such person was not legally entitled. In addition, no indemnification will be made with respect to any Proceeding initiated by any such person against the depositor, or a director or officer of the depositor, other than to enforce the terms of this indemnification provision, unless such Proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the depositor. Further, no indemnification will be made with respect to any settlement or compromise of any Proceeding unless and until the depositor has consented to such settlement or compromise.

The depositor may, from time to time, with the approval of the Board of Directors, and to the extent authorized, grant rights to indemnification, and to the advancement of expenses, to any employee or agent of the depositor or to any person serving at the request of the depositor as a director or officer, or in any other capacity, of any other Enterprise, to the fullest extent of the provisions with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the depositor.


Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the depositor or the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
