IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING AN UPCOMING FUND REORGANIZATION

The following information only affects you if you currently invest in or plan to invest in the subaccount that corresponds to the Invesco V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund.

1.      On November 30, 2011, the Board of Trustees of the AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) approved a proposal to reorganize and merge the following funds. Subject to shareholder approval, effective on or about April 30, 2012, (the “Reorganization Date”) the following Merging Fund will reorganize into and become part of the following Surviving Fund:

Merging Fund	Surviving Fund
Invesco V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund (Series I)	Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Capital Growth Fund* (Series I)

*Effective upon the closing of the Reorganization Date, the Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Capital Growth Fund will be renamed to the Invesco Van Kampen V.I. American Franchise Fund.

• As a result of the fund reorganization and merger, on the Reorganization Date, the Surviving Fund will automatically be added to your contract.

• Prior to the Reorganization Date, you may transfer amounts allocated to the subaccount that invests in the Merging Fund to any other available subaccount or any available fixed interest option. See also the Transfers section of your Contract Prospectus or the Investment Options section of your Contract Prospectus Summary for further information about making transfers, including limits on transfers.

• On the Reorganization Date, your investment in the subaccount that invests in the Merging Fund will automatically become an investment in the subaccount that invests in the corresponding Surviving Fund with an equal total net asset value.

• You will not incur any fees or charges or any tax liability because of the reorganization.
