Third Party Transfers

Effective August 8, 2016, a Policy owner is permitted to authorize a registered representative or an agent to transact transfers on the Policy owner’s behalf. FNWL will honor such an authorized third-party transfer, so long as the authorization and transfer instructions comply with FNWL’s administrative systems, rules and procedures, which FNWL may modify or rescind at any time.

In order to reflect this change, effective August 8, 2016, the language in your Prospectus is updated as follows:

1. the following sentence, that appears in bold, on page 36 of the Prospectus, under the heading “Third Party Transfers”, is deleted in its entirety: “However, you may not authorize a registered representative or an agent to transact transfers on your behalf.”

2. the section entitled “Third Party Transfers”, appearing on page 36 of the Prospectus, is hereby changed to read as follows:

“Third Party Transfers

If you authorize a third party to transact transfers on your behalf, we will honor their transfer instructions, so long as they comply with our administrative systems, rules and procedures, which we may modify or rescind at any time. We take no responsibility for any third party asset allocation program. Please note that any fees and charges assessed for third party asset allocation services are separate and distinct from the Policy fees and charges set forth in this prospectus. We neither recommend nor discourage the use of asset allocation services.”
