Supplement dated May 4, 2022
to the
BOA America's Exclusive Annuity II prospectus dated May 1, 2016
This supplement updates certain information contained in the prospectus. Please read it and keep it with the prospectus for future reference.
The following disclosures are hereby revised as follows in the prospectus. These disclosures supersede any conflicting information presently included in the prospectus.
1) The following section is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety:
Cybersecurity. Nationwide’s businesses are highly dependent upon its computer systems and those of its business partners. This makes Nationwide potentially susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from a cyber-attack. These risks include direct risks, such as theft, misuse, corruption, and destruction of data maintained by Nationwide, and indirect risks, such as denial of service, attacks on service provider websites and other operational disruptions that impede Nationwide’s ability to electronically interact with service providers. Cyber-attacks affecting Nationwide, the underlying mutual funds, intermediaries, and other service providers may adversely affect Nationwide and Contract Values. In connection with any such cyber-attack, Nationwide and/or its service providers and intermediaries may be subject to regulatory fines and financial losses and/or reputational damage. Cybersecurity risks may also impact the issuers of securities in which the underlying mutual funds invest, which may cause the underlying mutual funds to lose value. There may be an increased risk of cyber-attacks during periods of geopolitical or military conflict (such as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the resulting response by the United States and other countries). Although Nationwide undertakes substantial efforts to protect its computer systems from cyber-attacks, including internal processes and technological defenses that are preventative or detective, and other controls designed to provide multiple layers of security assurance, there can be no guarantee that Nationwide, its service providers, or the underlying mutual funds will avoid losses affecting contracts due to cyber-attacks or information security breaches in the future.
In the event that Contract Values are adversely affected as a result of the failure of Nationwide’s cybersecurity controls, Nationwide will take reasonable steps to restore Contract Values to the levels that they would have been had the cyber-attack not occurred. Nationwide will not, however, be responsible for any adverse impact to Contract Values that result from the Contract Owner or its designee’s negligent acts or failure to use reasonably appropriate safeguards to protect against cyber-attacks.
2) The following section is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety:
Business Continuity Risks. Nationwide is exposed to risks related to natural and man-made disasters, such as storms, fires, earthquakes, public health crises, geopolitical disputes, military actions, and terrorist acts, which could adversely affect Nationwide’s ability to administer the contract. Natural and man-made disasters may require a significant contingent of Nationwide’s employees to work from remote locations. During these periods, Nationwide could experience decreased productivity, and a significant number of Nationwide’s workforce or certain key personnel may be unable to fulfill their duties if Nationwide’s data or systems are disabled or destroyed. In addition, an extended period of remote work arrangements could introduce operational risk and impair Nationwide’s ability to administer the contract.
Nationwide outsources certain critical business functions to third parties and, in the event of a natural or man-made disaster, relies upon the successful implementation and execution of the business continuity planning of such entities. While Nationwide closely monitors the business continuity activities of these third parties, successful implementation and execution of their business continuity strategies are largely beyond Nationwide’s control. If one or more of the third parties to whom Nationwide outsources such critical business functions experience operational failures, Nationwide’s ability to administer the contract could be impaired.
3) The following section is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety:
COVID-19 Risk. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, which has resulted in operational disruptions, as well as market volatility and general economic uncertainty. While Nationwide has implemented risk management and contingency plans and taken preventative measures and other precautions so it can continue to provide products and services to its customers, even as many of its employees and the employees of its service providers continue to work remotely, it is not currently possible to accurately estimate the full impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on Nationwide’s businesses as Nationwide continues to be subject to certain risks that could negatively impact its operations.
PROS-2022-09

Significant market volatility and negative investment returns in the market resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic could have a negative impact on returns of the underlying mutual funds in which the Variable Account invests. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has at times resulted in negative economic conditions, changes in consumer behavior, economic shutdowns, state and federal legislation intended to ease the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on consumers and voluntary hardship assistance that Nationwide provides to its customers. These factors, among other factors related to COVID-19, could affect the amount of sales and profitability of Nationwide’s businesses and could have a negative impact on its financial condition and operations.
While Nationwide is confident in its ability to manage the financial risks related to COVID-19, the extent and duration or the risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic cannot be fully known. It is possible these risks could impact Nationwide’s financial strength and claims-paying ability. There are many factors beyond Nationwide’s control that cannot be mitigated or foreseen that could have a negative impact on Nationwide and the operation of the contract. Nationwide continues to monitor the economic situation and assess its impact on its business operations closely.
4) The following section is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety:
Pricing
Generally, Nationwide prices Accumulation Units on each day that the New York Stock Exchange is open. (Pricing is the calculation of a new Accumulation Unit value that reflects that day's investment experience.)
Accumulation Units are not priced when the New York Stock Exchange is closed or on the following nationally recognized holidays (or on the dates that such holidays are observed by the New York Stock Exchange):
New Year's Day
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
Presidents' Day
Good Friday
Memorial Day
Juneteenth National Independence Day
Independence Day
Labor Day
Thanksgiving
Christmas
Nationwide also will not price purchase payments, withdrawals, or transfers if:
(1) trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted;
(2) an emergency exists making disposal or valuation of securities held in the Variable Account impracticable; or
(3) the SEC, by order, permits a suspension or postponement for the protection of security holders.
Rules and regulations of the SEC will govern as to when the conditions described in (1) and (2) exist. If Nationwide is closed on days when the New York Stock Exchange is open, Contract Value may change and Contract Owners will not have access to their accounts.
5) The following sections of the prospectus are hereby deleted and replaced in their entirety.
a) The Total Annual Mutual Fund Operating Expenses table, which shows the minimum and maximum total operating expenses, as of December 31, 2021, charged by the underlying mutual funds that a contract owner may periodically pay while the contract is in force. More detail concerning each mutual fund’s fees and expenses is contained in the mutual fund’s prospectus.
b) The Legal Proceedings for Nationwide Life Insurance Company, which describe certain information about the legal and regulatory proceedings that the Company is subject to.
c) The Underlying Mutual Fund Information appendix, which contains information about the mutual funds available to the contract owner through investment in the sub-accounts.
2. The Interest Charged provision and the Interest Credited provision of the Loan Privilege section are deleted in their entirety and replaced with the following:
PROS-2022-09

Interest Charged and Credited
Compound interest is charged on the outstanding loan balance consisting of outstanding principal plus accrued interest. The total interest rate is comprised of a collateral interest rate plus a finance interest rate. The total interest rate is disclosed at the time of loan application or loan issuance.
The finance interest rate will be 2.25%. The collateral interest rate will be the total interest rate minus the finance interest rate and will be no less than the guaranteed minimum interest rate stated in the contract.
When a loan is repaid in accordance with the payment schedule provided at the time the loan is issued, collateral interest and finance interest that accrue between scheduled payments are paid off. As payments are made, collateral interest is credited to the collateral fixed account, and finance interest is paid to Nationwide. Finance interest may provide revenue for risk charges and profit.
Accrual of Principal and Interest After Default
Upon default, unpaid principal and collateral interest, and finance interest, will separately accrue and compound at the total interest rate. When the total interest rate is applied to accruing finance interest after default, the entire amount of interest is added to the outstanding finance interest. This will cause the total amount of the outstanding loan balance to grow rapidly over time. Following is an example of how principal and collateral interest, and finance interest accrue over time after a total default of a $50,000 loan.
After default, the first time interest is calculated:
1A. The total interest rate (collateral interest rate plus finance interest rate) is applied to the outstanding principal;
   
6.25% x $50,000 = $3,125
(total interest rate)   (outstanding principal)   ($2,000 =collateral interest
$1,125 = finance interest)
1B. The amount from 1A representing collateral interest is added to the outstanding principal;
   
$2,000 + $50,000 = $52,000
(collateral interest)   (outstanding principal)   (outstanding principal
and collateral interest)
1C. The amount from 1A representing finance interest is held separately, and subsequently accrues interest at the total interest rate on a compound basis and will become the outstanding finance interest; and
   
$1,125
(outstanding finance interest)
1D. The outstanding principal and collateral interest, and the outstanding finance interest, are added to determine the total outstanding principal and interest.
   
$52,000 + $1,125 = $53,125
(outstanding principal
and collateral interest)
  (outstanding finance interest)   (total outstanding
principal and interest)
Thereafter, when interest is calculated:
2A. The total interest rate (collateral interest rate plus finance interest rate) is applied to the outstanding principal and collateral interest from 1A above;
   
6.25% x $52,000 = $3,250
(total interest rate)   (1A outstanding
principal and
collateral interest)
  ($2,080 = collateral interest
$1,170 = finance interest)
PROS-2022-09

2B. The amount from step 2A representing collateral interest is added to the outstanding principal and collateral interest from 1A;
   
$2,080 + $52,000 = $54,080
(collateral interest)   (1A outstanding
principal and
collateral interest)
  (outstanding principal
and collateral interest)
2C. The total interest rate is applied to the outstanding finance interest from 1C and added to that outstanding finance interest ;
   
6.25% x $1,125 = $70.31
(total interest rate)   (outstanding finance
interest)
  (finance interest)
    
$70.31 + $1,125 = $1,195.31
(finance interest)   (outstanding finance
interest)
  (outstanding finance
interest)
2D. The amount from step 2A representing finance interest is added to the outstanding finance interest amount in 2C;
   
$1,170 + $1,195.31 = $2,365.31
(finance interest)   (outstanding finance
interest)
  (outstanding finance
interest)
2E. The outstanding principal and collateral interest from 2B, and the outstanding finance interest from 2D are added together to determine the total outstanding principal and interest.
   
$54,080 + $2,365.31 = $56,445.31
(total outstanding
principal and collateral
interest)
  (outstanding finance
interest)
  (total outstanding
principal and interest)
This method of interest calculation and accrual is applied to the total outstanding principal and collateral interest, and finance interest balances until the entire loan balance is paid. Under this method of interest calculation, after 15 years of default, a $50,000 loan on which no payments were made will accrue as follows:
Outstanding Principal $50,000
Outstanding Collateral Interest $ 40,047
Outstanding Finance Interest $34,091
Total Outstanding Principal and Interest $124,138

Legal Proceedings
Nationwide Life Insurance Company
Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (NFS, or collectively with its subsidiaries, (the "Company")) was formed in November 1996. NFS is the holding company for Nationwide Life Insurance Company (NLIC), Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (NLAIC) and other companies that comprise the life insurance and retirement savings operations of the Nationwide group of companies (Nationwide). This group includes Nationwide Financial Network (NFN), an affiliated distribution network that markets directly to its customer base. NFS is incorporated in Delaware and maintains its principal executive offices in Columbus, Ohio.
The Company is subject to legal and regulatory proceedings in the ordinary course of its business. These include proceedings specific to the Company and proceedings generally applicable to business practices in the industries in which the Company operates. The outcomes of these proceedings cannot be predicted due to their complexity, scope, and many uncertainties. The Company believes, however, that based on currently known information, the ultimate outcome of all pending legal and regulatory proceedings is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.
The various businesses conducted by the Company are subject to oversight by numerous federal and state regulatory entities, including but not limited to the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the Department of Labor, the Internal Revenue Service, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and state insurance authorities. Such regulatory entities may, in the normal course of business, be engaged in general or targeted inquiries, examinations and investigations of the Company and/or its affiliates. With respect to all such scrutiny directed at the Company or its affiliates, the Company is cooperating with regulators.

The general distributor, NISC (the "Company"), is subject to legal and regulatory proceedings in the ordinary course of its business. These include proceedings specific to the Company and proceedings generally applicable to business practices in the industries in which the Company operates. The outcomes of these proceedings cannot be predicted due to their complexity, scope and many uncertainties. The Company believes, however, that based on currently known information, the ultimate outcome of all pending legal and regulatory proceedings is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.
The various businesses conducted by the Company are subject to oversight by numerous federal and state regulatory entities, including but not limited to the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the Department of Labor, the Internal Revenue Service, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and state securities divisions.

Underlying Mutual Fund Information
This appendix contains information about the underlying mutual funds in which the Sub-Accounts invest. The underlying mutual funds in which the Sub-Accounts invest are designed primarily as investments for variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies issued by insurance companies. There is no guarantee that the investment objectives will be met. Refer to the prospectus for each underlying mutual fund for more detailed information.
   
Designations Key:
FF: The underlying mutual fund primarily invests in other mutual funds. Therefore, a proportionate share of the fees and expenses of any acquired funds are indirectly borne by investors. As a result, investors in this Sub-Account may incur higher charges than if the assets were invested in an underlying mutual fund that does not invest in other mutual funds. Refer to the prospectus for this underlying mutual fund for more information.
MF: The underlying mutual fund operates as a "feeder fund", which means it invests all of its investment assets in another mutual fund, the "master fund". Investors in this underlying mutual fund will bear the fees and expenses of both this underlying mutual fund and the "master fund" in which it invests. Therefore, this may result in higher expenses than those of other underlying mutual funds that invest directly in individual securities. Refer to the prospectus for this underlying mutual fund for more information.

Designations Key:
VOL: The underlying mutual fund uses a volatility management strategy to reduce a Contract Owner’s exposure to equity investments when equity markets are volatile which may limit investment losses in a down market. However, use of such a strategy may also limit the growth of Contract Value. Allocation to this type of underlying mutual fund may result in foregone investment gains that could otherwise be realized by investing in riskier underlying mutual funds.
