Please take the appropriate action if this information applies to you. Effective with the close of business on January 25, 2008, the Premier VIT OpCap Global Equity Fund (the "OpCap Fund") will be liquidated and dissolved. Between now and January 18, 2008, you may transfer your policy value from the OpCap Fund to any of the other available Sub-Accounts in your policy. If you have not transferred your policy value to a different Sub-Account by January 18, 2008, we will transfer any remaining policy value in the OpCap Fund to the LVIP Money Market Fund. After that time, you may transfer your policy value from the LVIP Money Market Fund to any of the other Sub-Accounts available. There is no charge for a transfer made pursuant to the closing of the OpCap Fund, and this transfer will not count against the number of transfers you are allowed under your policy, if the transfer is made prior to or within thirty days after the closing of the OpCap Fund. In addition, you will also need to change your purchase payment allocations and the allocations to any of the additional services (i.e., dollar cost averaging, portfolio rebalancing, cross reinvestment and automatic withdrawal services) that include assets from the OpCap Fund. Please retain this supplement for future reference.
