Variable Life Insurance Product Information

 

First Union

 

Product Description


These Policies are individual flexible premium variable life insurance policies with Death Benefits, Policy Value, and other features traditionally associated with life insurance. The Policies are variable because the Policy Value will increase or decrease depending on the investment experience of the Sub-Accounts. Under some circumstances, the Death Benefit may vary with the investment experience of the Sub-Accounts.

 

Payment Schedule


These Policies are flexible premium because, unlike traditional insurance policies, there is no fixed schedule for premium payments. You may vary the frequency and amount of future premium payments, subject to certain limits, restrictions and conditions set by Company standards and federal tax laws.

 

Cash Value Access


You may make partial withdrawals, borrow up to the Loan Value of your Policy or surrender the Policy for its Surrender Value. Loans and withdrawals will reduce the Policy Value and Death Benefit.

 

Fixed Account Information


You may allocate part or all of your Policy Value to the Fixed Account. The Fixed Account is part of our General Account. We guarantee a minimum rate of interest for Policy Value allocated to the Fixed Account. The minimum interest that we will credit on amounts allocated to the Fixed Account is 4.0% compounded annually. Fixed Account guarantees are based on the claims-paying ability of the issuer.

 

Death Benefit


The Company will pay a Death Benefit to the Beneficiary when the insured dies while the Policy is in effect. The Death Benefit is the Surrender Value of the Policy after the final premium payment date.

 

Charges and Fees


The following is a brief description of the Charges and Fees associated with the Policies. Please see the prospectus for a detailed description of the specific charges that apply to your Policy.

 

Monthly Policy Charges: Charges are deducted monthly to compensate the Company for the anticipated cost of providing Death Proceeds and benefits provided by optional riders, to compensate the Company for administrative, tax and distribution expenses, and for mortality and expense risks. These charges may vary depending on the underwriting class and the number of years from the date of issue of this Policy.

 

Transfers: The Company currently does not restrict the number of transfers among the Sub-Accounts. The first 12 transfers may be made free of charge. A fee of up to $25 may be assessed for each subsequent transfer.

 

Underlying Fund Expenses: The underlying funds incur investment advisory fees and other expenses which are reflected in the unit values of the Variable Account. The level of fees and expenses vary among the underlying funds.

 

Partial Withdrawal Transaction Charge: For each partial withdrawal, the Company assesses a transaction fee of 2% of the amount withdrawn, not to exceed $25.

 

Optional Guaranteed Death Benefit Rider: A one-time administrative charge of $25 is deducted from Policy Value when the rider is elected.
