Supplement dated November 16, 2022 to the Summary Prospectus for New Investors dated May 1, 2022

This supplement to the summary prospectus for your individual variable annuity contract describes the Lincoln ProtectedPaySM lifetime income suite, available for purchase beginning November 28, 2022 (subject to state approval). This supplement is for informational purposes and requires no action on your part.

OVERVIEW

Lincoln ProtectedPaySM is a suite of optional riders that provide accumulation through:
Guaranteed lifetime periodic withdrawals for you (and your spouse if the joint life option is selected) up to the Protected Annual Income amount which is based upon a Protected Income Base;
An Enhancement amount added to the Protected Income Base if certain criteria are met, as set forth below;
Account Value Step-ups of the Protected Income Base to the Contract Value if the Contract Value is equal to or greater than the Protected Income Base after the Enhancement; and
Age-based increases to the Protected Annual Income amount (after reaching a higher age-band and after an Account Value Step-up).
The rider suite provides flexible investment and income choices to meet your individual needs by offering six different options.

Lincoln ProtectedPaySM is available for election on all new and existing nonqualified and qualified (IRAs and Roth IRAs) annuity contracts. The Contractowner/Annuitant as well as the spouse under the joint life option must be age 85 or younger at the time the rider is elected. The initial Purchase Payment or Contract Value (if elected after the contract is issued) must be at least $25,000. Rider elections are subject to Home Office approval if your Contract Value totals $2 million or more.
If you purchase a Lincoln ProtectedPaySM rider, you will be required to adhere to Investment Requirements, which will limit your ability to invest in certain Subaccounts offered in your Contract. Certain rider options have more restrictive Investment Requirements than others. In addition, the fixed account is not available except for use with dollar cost averaging.
