Table of Contents

 

The next table shows the minimum and maximum Total Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses charged by the Portfolios that you pay indirectly during the time you own the Contract. This table shows the range (minimum and maximum) of fees and expenses (including management fees and other expenses) charged by any of the Portfolios, expressed as an annual percentage of average daily net assets. The amounts are based on the arithmetic average of expenses paid in the year ended December 31, 2008 for all of the available Portfolios, adjusted to reflect anticipated changes in fees and expenses. With respect to new Portfolios amounts are based on estimates for the current fiscal year. The amounts shown reflect expenses before any applicable expense reimbursement or fee waiver.

 

Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses9
        Maximum        Minimum  

(expenses that are deducted from Fund assets, including
management fees, and other expenses):

     2.80%        0.39%  

 

Each Subaccount of the Variable Account purchases shares of the corresponding Fund Portfolio at net asset value. The net asset value reflects the investment advisory fees and other expenses that are deducted from the assets of the Portfolio. The advisory fees and other expenses are not fixed or specified under the terms of the Contract, and they may vary from year to year. More detail concerning the fees and expenses of the Portfolios is contained in the prospectus for the Fund.

 

If a Portfolio is structured as a “fund of funds,” total gross annual Portfolio expenses also include the fees associated with the Portfolios in which it invests. Because of this a Portfolio that is structured as a “fund of funds” may have higher fees and expenses than a Portfolio that invests directly in debt and equity securities. For a list of the “fund of funds” Portfolios available through the Contract, see the chart of portfolios available in the prospectus for the Fund.

 

Examples

 

The following examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include Contract Owner transaction expenses, Contract fees, separate account annual expenses, and Portfolio fees and expenses. The following two examples assume that you invest $10,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated and that your investment has a 5% return each year and assumes both the minimum and the maximum fees and expenses of the Portfolios. Example 1 shows a Contract with a combination of features and portfolio ranges that yield the most expensive total cost. Example 2 shows the cost of a Contract with the most expensive optional feature and the corresponding range of portfolio options. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

For more information, See Charges and Deductions in this prospectus and the prospectus for the Fund.

 

Notes to Fee and Expense Tables:

1 In each Contract Year, you may surrender without a surrender charge up to 10% of the Accumulated Value existing at the time the first surrender is made in a Contract Year; only the amount in excess of that amount (the “Excess Amount”) will be subject to a surrender charge. A surrender charge is deducted if a full or partial surrender occurs during the first seven Contract Years. The surrender charge is 7% during the first Contract Year and decreases by 1% each subsequent Contract Year. No surrender charge is deducted for surrenders occurring in Contract Years 8 and later. The surrender charge also will be deducted if the annuity payments begin during the first three Contract Years, except under certain circumstances as described in Surrender Charge (Contingent Deferred Sales Charge).

2 You are allowed 12 free transfers per Contract Year. Subsequent transfers (other than the Dollar Cost Averaging and Asset Rebalancing Programs) will incur a $25 transfer charge.

3 An annual administrative charge of up to $30 may apply to some Contracts. This charge is waived if (a) the Accumulated Value of the Contract on the Contract Anniversary is at least $15,000, (b) the sum of premiums paid on, less all surrenders made from, the Contract is at least $15,000, or (c) the sum of premiums paid less all surrenders made during the Contract Year just ended is at least $2,400. See Charges and Deductions—Annual Administrative Charge.

4 The table shows the guaranteed maximum risk charges for Contract Years 1-7 and later. We currently expect the risk charge for Contract Years 8 and later to be 0.15% less than the guaranteed charge shown in the table. On or after the Annuity Date, the risk charge will be 1.25%. See Charges and Deductions—Risk Charge. The risk charge for a Contract pending payout due to a death claim is based on the average daily net assets of the Variable Account and is equal to an annual rate of 0.95%.

5 The amount shown is based on the guaranteed charge for the Return Protection Allocation. The current charge is 0.55%. We may change the current charge in the future, but it will never be greater than the guaranteed charge of 0.75%.

6 The amount shown is based on the guaranteed maximum charge for the GLWB Rider. The current charge is as follows: 0.85%, 0.55%, and 0.35% for the Moderately Aggressive, Moderate and Moderately Conservative Allocations, respectively.

7 The maximum total separate account expenses occur when the GLWB Rider is selected as an optional benefit.

8 If a payee under a settlement option elects to receive a lump sum instead of continuing payments, we will pay the commuted value of the future payments for the remaining guaranteed period. The commuted value is determined by using an interest rate that is 0.25% more than the interest rate used to determine the annuity payments.

9 Thrivent Financial has agreed to reimburse certain expenses other than the advisory fees for certain of the Portfolios. After taking these contractual and voluntary arrangements into account, the range (minimum and maximum) of total operating expenses charged by the Portfolios would have been 0.36% to 1.50%. The reimbursements may be discontinued at any time. The amounts are based on the arithmetic average of expenses paid in the year ended December 31, 2008 for all of the available Portfolios, adjusted to reflect anticipated changes in fees and expenses. With respect to new Portfolios, amounts are based on estimates for the current fiscal year.

10 For this example, the following assumptions are used: 0.65% optional benefit charge, 1.25% mortality and expense risk charge (1.15% for years 8 through 10), and portfolio operating expenses ranging from 0.39% to 2.80%.

11 For this example, the following assumptions are used: 1.25% optional benefit charge, 1.25% mortality and expense risk charge, and portfolio operating expenses ranging from 0.73% to 0.83%.

SUMMARY

 

 

Please see Definitions at the beginning of this Prospectus for definitions of several technical terms, which can help you understand details about your Contract. The Summary is an introduction to various topics related to the Contract. For more detailed information on each subject, refer to the appropriate section of this Prospectus.

 

The Contract

 

The Contract along with any riders, endorsements, amendments, application, and our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws constitutes your entire agreement. See The Contracts.

 

We issue individual flexible premium deferred variable annuity contracts. In order to purchase a Contract, you must submit an application to us through one of our financial associates who is also a registered representative of Thrivent Investment Management Inc. (“Thrivent Investment Mgt.”). We only offer the Contract to a member or to a person eligible for membership who is also applying for membership. The Contract may be sold to or in connection with retirement plans that may or may not qualify for special Federal tax treatment under the Internal Revenue Code. Annuity payments under the Contract are deferred until the Annuity Date.

 

The minimum acceptable initial premium is $5,000 unless your Contract is issued in connection with a Qualified Plan. If your Contract is issued in connection with a Qualified Plan, the minimum acceptable premium is $2,000 or $1,000 if electronic payments of $100/month are established. We may, at our discretion, waive this initial premium requirement. You may pay additional premiums under the Contracts, but we may choose not to accept any additional premium less than $50.

 

Exchange Program. From time to time, we may offer to exchange older variable annuity contracts previously issued by Thrivent Financial, Thrivent Life Insurance Company, AAL or Lutheran Brotherhood for the Contract described in this prospectus. Such exchange offers will be made available only for contracts that have not yet started making annuity payments. Any new contract resulting from such exchange will have the same Issue Date as the Contract being exchanged only for purposes of calculating surrender charges, if applicable.

 

Allocation of Premiums. You may allocate premiums under the Contract to one or more of the Subaccounts of the Variable Account, the Fixed Account, or, if available, Fixed Period Allocations. Certain of the investment options may be unavailable in some states.

 

The Accumulated Value of the Contract in the Subaccounts and the amount of variable annuity payments will vary, primarily based on the investment experience of the Portfolios whose shares are held in the Subaccounts designated. The interest rate that applies to the Fixed Account or a Fixed Period Allocation depends upon the date of the allocation and the allocation period selected.

 

Optional Investment Programs. We offer optional Dollar Cost Averaging and Asset Rebalancing Programs. See The Contracts—Dollar Cost Averaging and The Contracts—Asset Rebalancing.

 

Free Look Period. You have the right to return the Contract within 10 days after you receive it. (Some states require a longer free look period).

 

Return Protection Allocations. Your Contract provides for an optional benefit that guarantees the future value of amounts allocated to specified Subaccounts (“RP Subaccounts”) for either a seven-year or ten-year period.

 

Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit (GLWB). For an additional charge, a rider is available that guarantees a minimum lifetime withdrawal amount even if the account is depleted. Once you begin receiving benefits under the GLWB, you may not make subsequent premium payments. No GLWB withdrawals can be made under the benefit until or after the

SUMMARY

 

 

Annuitant reaches Age 62. The GLWB Withdrawal Period must begin on the Annuity Date if an election is not made on or before the Annuity Date.

 

Surrenders. If you request a surrender on or before the Annuity Date, we will pay to you all or part of the Accumulated Value of a Contract after making any Market Value Adjustment to amounts in Fixed Period Allocations and deducting any applicable surrender charge or taxes. Partial surrenders must be for at least $200 and must not reduce the remaining Accumulated Value in the Contract to less than $1,000. Under certain circumstances the Contract Owner may make surrenders after the Annuity Date.

 

Transfers. On or before the Annuity Date, you may request the transfer of all or a part of your Contract’s Accumulated Value to or from up to 40 Subaccounts, the Fixed Account, or Fixed Period Allocations. Transfers to and from the RP Subaccounts are subject to the requirements for Return Protection Allocations. You may request 12 free transfers per Contract Year. After the Annuity Date, you may change the percentage allocation of variable annuity payments among the available Subaccounts up to 12 times per Contract Year. However, you may no longer transfer out of the Fixed Account after the Annuity Date. Subsequent transfers (other than the Dollar Cost Averaging and Asset Rebalancing Programs) will incur a $25 transfer charge. We reserve the right to limit the number of transfers you make in any Contract Year. See The Contracts—Transfers of Accumulated Value for more details, including the restrictions on transfers.

 

Death Benefits. The Contract offers a Basic Death Benefit if the Annuitant dies before the Annuity Date. In addition, for an additional charge, you may purchase any combination of three optional death benefit which may increase the death benefit if the Annuitant dies before the Annuity Date:

 

  ¨  

the Maximum Anniversary Death Benefit;

 

  ¨  

the Premium Accumulation Death Benefit; or

 

  ¨  

the Earnings Addition Death Benefit.

 

These optional benefits are not available in all states.

These optional benefits are not available with the GLWB.

 

A GLWB Survivor Benefit is available if you purchase the GLWB. Under this benefit, a surviving beneficiary may elect to receive the GLWB benefits or the standard death benefits. See The Contracts—Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefits (GLWB) Rider for more details.

 

See The Contracts—Death Benefit Before the Annuity Date and The Contracts—Optional Death Benefit.

 

Annuity Provisions

 

You may select an annuity settlement option or options, and may select whether payments are to be made on a fixed or variable (or a combination of fixed and variable) basis. See Annuity Provisions for more details.

 

Federal Tax Status

 

For a description of the federal income tax status of annuities, see Federal Tax Status—Taxation of Annuities in General. Generally, a distribution from a Contract before the taxpayer attains age 59 1/2 will result in a penalty tax of 10% of the amount of the distribution which is included in gross income. Death proceeds paid to beneficiaries are also subject to income tax.

THRIVENT FINANCIAL AND THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT

 

 

Thrivent Financial

 

We are a fraternal benefit society owned by and operated for our members. We were organized in 1902 under Wisconsin law, and we are in compliance with Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(8). We are currently licensed to transact life insurance business in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

 

We are subject to regulation by the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance of the State of Wisconsin as well as by the insurance regulators of all the other states and jurisdictions in which we do business. We submit annual reports on our operations and finances to insurance officials in such states and jurisdictions. The forms of Contracts described in this Prospectus are filed with and (where required) approved by insurance officials in each state and jurisdiction in which Contracts are sold. We are also subject to certain Federal securities laws and regulations.

 

The Variable Account

 

The Variable Account is a separate account of ours, which was established on May 9, 2002. The Variable Account meets the definition of a “separate account” under the federal securities laws. We have caused the Variable Account to be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). This registration does not involve supervision by the SEC of the management or investment policies or practices.

 

We own the assets of the Variable Account, and we are not a trustee with respect to such assets. However, the Wisconsin laws under which the Variable Account is operated provide that the Variable Account shall not be chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business we may conduct. The Variable Account will be fully funded at all times for the purposes of federal securities laws. We may transfer to our General Account assets of the Variable Account which exceed the reserves and other liabilities of the Variable Account.

 

Income and realized and unrealized gains and losses from each Subaccount of the Variable Account are credited to or charged against that Subaccount without regard to any of our other income, gains or losses. We may accumulate in the Variable Account the charge for expense and mortality risk, mortality gains and losses and investment results applicable to those assets that are in excess of net assets supporting the Contracts.

Variable Investment Options and the Subaccounts

 

You may allocate the premiums paid under the Contract and transfer the Contract’s Accumulated Value to up to 40 of the Subaccounts of the Variable Account. We invest the assets of each Subaccount in a corresponding Portfolio of the Fund. Note that the italicized Portfolios below are “fund of funds;” which are comprised of investments in other Portfolios within the Fund. These portfolios have higher fees than the other Portfolios since they include a fee in addition to the fees of the underlying Portfolios themselves. The Subaccounts and the corresponding Portfolios are listed below. If you choose the Return Protection Allocation, or the Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit, you are limited in your investment options to the Thrivent Moderately Conservative Allocation, the Thrivent Moderate Allocation and the Thrivent Moderately Aggressive Allocation Subaccounts. See The Contracts—Return Protection Allocations and The Contracts—Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit (GLWB) Rider.

We cannot assure that the Portfolios will achieve their respective investment objectives. You should periodically evaluate your allocation among the Subaccounts in light of current market conditions and the investment risks associated with investing in the various Portfolios of the Fund. A full description of the Portfolios, their investment objectives, policies, expenses, and risks and other aspects of the Fund’s operations is contained in the accompanying prospectus for the Fund, which should be carefully read in conjunction with this Prospectus.

 

Shares of the Fund are sold to other Portfolios of the Fund, to other insurance company separate accounts of ours and of our wholly owned subsidiary, Thrivent Life Insurance Company (“Thrivent Life”), and to retirement plans that we sponsor. The Fund may, in the future, create new Portfolios. It is conceivable that in the future it may be disadvantageous for both variable annuity separate accounts and variable life insurance separate accounts and for Thrivent Life and us to invest simultaneously in the Fund, although we do not foresee any such disadvantages to either variable annuity or variable life insurance contract owners. The Fund’s management intends to monitor events in order to identify any material conflicts between such Contract Owners and to determine what action, if any, should be taken in response. Material conflicts could result from, for example:

 

  ¨  

Changes in state insurance laws;

 

  ¨  

Changes in Federal income tax law;

 

  ¨  

Changes in the investment management of the Fund, or

 

  ¨  

Differences in voting instructions between those given by the Contract Owners from the different separate accounts.

 

If we believe the responses of the Fund to any of those events or conflicts insufficiently protects Contract Owners, we may take appropriate action on our own. Such action could include the sale of Fund shares by one or more of the separate accounts, which could have adverse consequences.

 

The Fund is registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act as an open-end management investment company (commonly called a “mutual fund”). That registration does not involve supervision by the SEC of the management or investment practices or policies of the Fund.

 

The Variable Account will purchase and redeem shares from the Fund at net asset value. Shares will be redeemed to the extent necessary for us to collect charges under the Contracts, to make payments upon surrenders, to provide benefits under the Contracts, or to transfer assets from one Subaccount to another Subaccount, the Fixed Account, or a Fixed Period Allocation as requested by Contract Owners. Any dividend or capital gain distribution received from a Portfolio of the Funds will be reinvested immediately at net asset value in shares of that Portfolio and retained as assets of the corresponding Subaccount.

Addition, Deletion, Combination, or Substitution of Investments

 

We reserve the right, subject to applicable law, to make additions to, deletions from, or substitutions for the shares that are held in the Variable Account or that the Variable Account may purchase. If Portfolio shares of the Fund are no longer available for investment or if in our judgment further investment in any Portfolio should become inappropriate in view of the purposes of the Variable Account, we may redeem the shares, if any, of that Portfolio and substitute shares of another registered open-end management company. We will not substitute any shares attributable to a Contract interest in a Subaccount of the Variable Account without notice and prior approval of the SEC and state insurance authorities, to the extent required by applicable law.

 

We also reserve the right to establish additional Subaccounts of the Variable Account, each of which would invest in shares corresponding to a new Portfolio of the Fund or in shares of another investment company having a specified investment objective. Subject to applicable law and any required SEC approval, we also may, in our sole discretion, establish new Subaccounts, combine two or more Subaccounts, or eliminate one or more Subaccounts if marketing needs, tax considerations or investment

conditions warrant. Any new Subaccounts may be made available to existing Contract Owners on a basis to be determined by us.

 

If we deem it to be in the best interest of Contract Owners and Annuitants, and subject to any approvals that may be required under applicable law, the Variable Account may be operated as a management company under the 1940 Act, deregistered under that Act if registration is no longer required, or combined with other separate accounts of ours.

 

Fixed Account

 

On or before the Annuity Date, you may allocate the premiums paid under the Contract and transfers from the accumulated value in other investment options to the Fixed Account. After the Annuity Date, you may no longer transfer out of the Fixed Account. Any amounts allocated to the Fixed Account are invested with our General Account assets. Interest will be credited on premiums allocated to the Fixed Account and on amounts transferred to the Fixed Account from the date of allocation or transfer. The interest rate credited for a Contract with an optional death benefit will be 0.25% lower than the interest rate credited for a Contract without any optional death benefits. The initial interest rate for each such allocation or transfer is guaranteed for 12 months, and subsequent interest rates will not change more frequently than every 12 months. Interest will be compounded daily and will never be less than the Fixed Account Guaranteed Interest Rate shown in your Contract. The last-in, first-out accounting method will be used for partial surrenders, transfers, annual administrative charges, and transfer charges.

 

Fixed Period Allocations and the Market Value Adjustment Account

 

You may allocate the premiums paid under the Contract and transfers from the accumulated value in other investment options to the Fixed Period Allocations. Fixed Period Allocations are invested in a non-unitized separate investment account of ours, the Market Value Adjustment Account (“MVA Account”). Each such allocation or transfer must be at least $1,000 and will be a separate Fixed Period Allocation. For each amount allocated or transferred to a Fixed Period Allocation, you select an allocation period then offered by us. We may not offer any Fixed Period Allocations during some periods of time. The interest rate that applies to a Fixed Period Allocation depends upon the date of the allocation and the duration selected. Interest will be credited on Fixed Period Allocations from the date of allocation or transfer and will be guaranteed for the entire period. Interest will be compounded daily and the effective annual interest rate will never be less than the Fixed Period Allocation Minimum Guaranteed Interest Rate shown in your Contract. Accumulated Value which is surrendered from a Fixed Period Allocation more than 30 days before the end of its allocation period is subject to a Market Value Adjustment (“MVA”).

 

At the end of an allocation period for a Fixed Period Allocation, if the amount allocated to that Fixed Period Allocation is at least $1,000, it will be applied on the expiration date as a new Fixed Period Allocation, unless, prior to the expiration date, you give us Written Notice or notice by telephone (if you have completed the Telephone Transaction Authorization Form) to surrender or transfer that amount. The allocation period will be the same as for the period just ended, provided that the period does not extend beyond the Annuity Date and that it is still offered by us. Otherwise, the allocation period will be the longest period then offered by us that does not extend beyond the Annuity Date. If the amount of the allocation is less than $1,000 or if all allocation periods then offered would extend beyond the Annuity Date, the amount of that Fixed Period Allocation will be transferred to the Thrivent Money Market Subaccount. We will notify you at least 30 days before the end of an allocation period for a Fixed Period Allocation. The first-in first-out accounting method will be used for surrenders and transfers from Fixed Period Allocations.

Market Value Adjustment

 

A MVA will apply to any portion of an amount in a Fixed Period Allocation that is surrendered more than 30 days before the end of its allocation period. The adjustment may increase or decrease the amount surrendered. The adjustment is determined by multiplying the total amount surrendered times:

 

                                                 (n/12)

        [(1 + i)/(1 + j + .0025)] -1

 

where:

 

i is the Treasury Rate for the week prior to the date of allocation for a maturity equal to the Fixed Period Allocation from which the surrender is made;

 

j is the Treasury Rate for the week prior to the date of surrender for a maturity equal to the number of whole months remaining in that allocation period, but if fewer than 12 months remain, we will use the Treasury Rate for a maturity of one year; and

 

n is the whole number of months remaining in that allocation period.

 

If a Treasury Rate is not available for a maturity of “n” months, then “j” will be determined by linear interpolation of rates for maturity periods closest to n months. If Treasury Rates are no longer available, we will use similar rates as approved by the Insurance Department of the state in which your Contract was issued.

 

MVAs will be applied before any surrender charges. We guarantee that MVAs will not reduce interest earned on amounts allocated to Fixed Period Allocations to less than an effective annual rate, compounded daily, equal to the Fixed Period Allocation Minimum Guaranteed Interest Rate shown in your Contract. Any increase in accumulated value to effect this guarantee will be calculated upon a total transfer or surrender from all Fixed Period Allocations. This increase will be transferred to the Thrivent Money Market Subaccount for any such transfer or will be included in the surrender amount for any such surrender. For any surrender after which there remains accumulated value in any Fixed Period Allocation, the full MVA will be applied.

 

As an example to illustrate the operation of the MVA formula, assume that a net withdrawal of $20,000 is requested from a seven-year Fixed Period Allocation with 60 months remaining in the Fixed Period Allocation. Assume also that the seven-year Treasury Rate for the week prior to the date you made an allocation to that seven-year Fixed Period Allocation was 9% and the five-year Treasury Rate for the week prior to the date of surrender or transfer of that seven-year Fixed Allocation Period is 9.25%. Under the formula, “i” is equal to 9%, “j” is equal to 9.25%, and “n” is equal to 60. To calculate the MVA, we divide the sum of 1.00 and “i”, 1.09, by the sum of 1.00 and “j” and .0025, or 1.095. The resulting figure, .995434, is then taken to the fifth, or “n”/12th power. From this amount, .977377, 1 is subtracted and the resulting figure, -.022623, is multiplied by an amount ($20,463) that will net $20,000 after application of the MVA of -$463. Since this figure is a negative number, the amount is subtracted from the remaining Fixed Period Allocation value. If “j” had been 8% instead of 9.25%, the MVA would have been +$678, which amount would have been added to the remaining Fixed Period Allocation value.

 

Additional Information about the Fixed Account and the MVA Account

 

Because of exemptive and exclusionary provisions, interests in the Fixed Account and the MVA Account have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (“1933 Act”), and neither the Fixed Account nor the MVA Account is registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”). Accordingly neither the Fixed Account, the MVA Account, nor any interests therein are generally subject to the provisions of the 1933 or 1940

Acts. Disclosures regarding the Fixed Account, however, may be subject to certain generally applicable provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements in prospectuses. We have been advised that the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has not reviewed disclosure relating to the Fixed Account or the MVA Account. Contract Owners have no voting rights in the Variable Account with respect to Fixed Account or Fixed Period Allocation values.

 

RISKS

 

 

This annuity has some risks which may include the following:

 

  ¨  

The investment options you choose may lose value, and the Accumulated Value of your contract can go down;

 

  ¨  

Depending on the contract features you select, your investment options may be limited;

 

  ¨  

This annuity has liquidity risk because a surrender charge may apply to full or partial surrenders made during the surrender charge period;

 

 

¨

 

In addition to taxes on gain, there may be a tax penalty if you withdraw money from the annuity prior to age 59 1/2;

 

  ¨  

If you elect a Settlement Option, you will only receive periodic annuity payments as frequently as you selected. There is a risk that your annuity payments will not keep pace with your personal expenses. If you choose a life income with no guaranteed period, there is a risk that you will die prematurely and no death proceeds will be paid to your beneficiaries.

From time to time, we may offer to exchange older variable annuity contracts previously issued by Thrivent Financial, Thrivent Life Insurance Company, AAL or Lutheran Brotherhood for the Contract described in this prospectus. Such exchange offers will be made available only for contracts that have not yet started making annuity payments. Any new contract resulting from such exchange will have the same Issue Date as the Contract being exchanged only for purposes of calculating surrender charges, if applicable.

 

Processing Your Application

 

We will process your application when we receive it. Your Contract’s Date of Issue is the date you sign the application. If we determine that your application is in good order, we will approve it within two days after we receive it. If we determine that the application is not in good order, we will attempt to complete it within five business days. If the application is not complete at the end of this period, we will tell you the reason for the delay and we will return the initial premium to you unless you specifically consent to our keeping it until the application is complete.

 

Allocation of Premiums

 

At the end of the Valuation Period during which we approve your application, we will allocate your initial premium among the Subaccount(s), the Fixed Account, and/or Fixed Period Allocations according to your application. Any amount of your initial premium which you allocate to a Subaccount will be credited to your Contract with a number of Accumulation Units of that Subaccount based on the Subaccount’s Accumulation Unit Value at the end of that Valuation Period. Subsequent allocations to a Subaccount will be credited with a number of Accumulation Units of that Subaccount based on the Subaccount’s Accumulation Unit Value at the end of the Valuation Period when the allocation is made. See Subaccount Valuation.

 

You may allocate to up to 40 subaccounts. The allocation percentages that you select must be in whole numbers and their sum must be 100%. We reserve the right to adjust allocation percentages to eliminate fractional percentages. Premiums that you pay after the initial premium are allocated at the end of the Valuation Period in which we receive them using the allocation percentages specified in your application. You may change the allocation percentages for future premiums without charge and at any time by giving us Written Notice or by telephone if you have that authorization. Unless specifically designated otherwise, any change will apply to all future premiums unless you request another change.

THE CONTRACT

 

 

If you add the GLWB Rider, you must allocate 100% of the Accumulated Value to one eligible Subaccount (see GLWB Rider). Premiums may only be paid during the GLWB Waiting period. We must approve any such allocation with less than $25,000 of Accumulated Value.

 

The minimum you may allocate to a Fixed Period Allocation is $1,000. If you allocate an amount less than $1,000 to a Fixed Period Allocation, we will allocate that amount to the Thrivent Money Market Subaccount.

 

The minimum you may allocate to an RP subaccount is $10,000. If you allocate an amount less than $10,000 to an RP subaccount, we will allocate that amount to the corresponding asset allocation Subaccount available without the return protection benefit that invests in the same Portfolio as the RP subaccount for which the allocation was intended. If you allocate an amount greater than $10,000 to an RP subaccount and do not provide the full amount of the allocation with your application, we will allocate the partial amount received that you designate for an RP subaccount to the corresponding asset allocation Subaccount. Once the full amount is received, you can request to add the Return Protection Allocation and transfer the amount to the RP subaccount by submitting a signed Thrivent Financial Return Protection Allocation Request to our Service Center. The Return Protection Allocation will not be added until we receive your request at our Service Center in good order.

 

The values in the Subaccounts of the Variable Account will vary with the investment experience of the corresponding Portfolios. You bear the entire investment risk of the amounts allocated to Subaccounts of the Variable Account. You should periodically review your allocations of premiums in light of market conditions and your overall financial objectives.

 

Free Look Period

 

After you receive your Contract, you have a “free look” period of 10 calendar days (some states require a longer free look period, which will be indicated in your Contract) to decide if you want to keep it. If you decide to cancel the Contract within the free look period, you may do so by returning the Contract and providing Written Notice of cancellation to our Service Center or a financial representative. Once we receive the Contract and notice of cancellation, we will cancel the Contract and refund to you an amount equal to the Accumulated Value. The Accumulated Value may be more or less than your premium payment depending upon the investment performance. This means you bear the risk of any decline in your Accumulated Value until we receive your Contract and notice of cancellation. However, in certain states we must return your premium payment, if greater.

 

In addition to the “free look” period described, if your Contract is an IRA and you revoke it within 7 days after initially receiving the IRA disclosure, we will refund all premiums that you have paid regardless of the state in which the Contract was issued.

 

Accumulated Value of Your Contract

 

On or before the Annuity Date, your Contract’s value is expressed as its Accumulated Value. Your Contract’s Accumulated Value is the sum of the accumulated values in Subaccounts, the Fixed Account, and Fixed Period Allocations.

 

Your Contract’s Accumulated Value will reflect the investment experience of the chosen Subaccounts, any amount of value in the Fixed Account, any amount in Fixed Period Allocations, any premiums that you pay, any surrenders you make, and any charges we assess in connection with the Contract. There is no guaranteed minimum Accumulated Value, and, because a Contract’s Accumulated Value on any future date depends upon a number of variables, it cannot be predetermined.

 

Subaccount Valuation

 

On any Valuation Day, the accumulated value of your investment in a Subaccount is equal to the number of

 

 

22


Table of Contents

THE CONTRACT

 

 

Accumulation Units attributable to that Subaccount multiplied by the Accumulation Unit Value for that Subaccount. On any day that is not a Valuation Day, the accumulated value for a Subaccount will be determined on the next Valuation Day.

 

Accumulation Units. Transactions in and out of a Subaccount are made by crediting or reducing the number of Accumulation Units of the Subaccount in your Contract.

 

We credit your Contract with Accumulation Units of a Subaccount when:

 

  ¨  

You allocate premiums to that Subaccount;

 

  ¨  

You transfer Accumulated Value into that Subaccount from another Subaccount, the Fixed Account, or a Fixed Period Allocation;

 

  ¨  

Your spouse is the sole beneficiary and elects to continue the Contract after your death, and the excess of the death benefit over the Accumulated Value is allocated to the Subaccount; or

 

  ¨  

The amount necessary to satisfy a return protection guarantee is added to the Subaccount.

 

We reduce the Accumulation Units in a Subaccount when:

 

  ¨  

You transfer Accumulated Value out of that Subaccount into another Subaccount, the Fixed Account, or a Fixed Period Allocation;

 

  ¨  

You make a surrender from that Subaccount;

 

  ¨  

Transfer charges are applied against the Subaccount; or

 

  ¨  

The annual administrative charge is applied to the Subaccount.

 

Accumulation Unit Value. For each Subaccount, there are multiple accumulation unit values, depending upon the different risk charges assessed against the Contracts participating in that Subaccount. A risk charge varies according to whether any death benefit options or Return Protection Allocations have been selected and the total accumulated value in the Subaccounts. A Subaccount’s Accumulation Unit Value for your Contract is the unit price that is used whenever we credit or reduce Accumulation Units of the Subaccount. Accumulation Unit Values may increase or decrease at the end of each Valuation Period. We re-determine the Accumulation Unit Value for each Subaccount at the end of each Valuation Period. At the end of each Valuation Period, the Accumulation Unit Value for a Subaccount is equal to (1) multiplied by (2) where:

 

  (1)   Is the Accumulation Unit Value for that Subaccount at the end of the prior Valuation Period.

 

  (2)   Is the Net Investment Factor for that Subaccount for that period.

 

Net Investment Factor. The Net Investment Factor for a Subaccount measures investment performance of that Subaccount. The Net Investment Factor for a Subaccount for a Valuation Period is determined by dividing (1) by (2) and then subtracting (3) where:

 

  (1)   Is the sum of:

 

  (a)   The net asset value per share of the corresponding Portfolio of the Subaccount at the end of the Valuation Period; plus

 

  (b)   The per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distribution made by the Portfolio if the “ex-dividend” date occurs during the Valuation Period; plus or minus

 

  (c)   A per share charge or credit for any taxes reserved that we determine to be a result of the investment operation of the Portfolio.

 

  (2)   Is the net asset value per share of the corresponding Portfolio of the Subaccount at the end of the prior Valuation Period.

 

  (3)  

Is the factor representing the risk charges deducted from the Subaccount on a daily basis for the annual product expenses. Total product

 

 

23


Table of Contents

THE CONTRACT

 

 

 

expenses will vary based on the optional benefits, if any, selected by you for your Contract. A table of product expenses is shown on page 6.

 

Minimum Accumulated Value

 

We will terminate your Contract on any Contract Anniversary if the Accumulated Value before the deduction of any annual administrative charge is less than $600 and you have not paid a premium during the previous 36-month period.

 

If your Contract will not meet this requirement on an upcoming Contract Anniversary, we will notify you 60 days before that anniversary and inform you of the minimum dollar amount which you must pay to keep the Contract in force. If you fail to pay at least that amount, we may terminate your Contract on the Contract Anniversary and pay you the remaining Accumulated Value.

 

Return Protection Allocations

 

Your Contract provides for an optional benefit that guarantees the future value of amounts allocated to specified Subaccounts for either a seven-year or ten-year period (“Return Protection Allocation”). There are currently five investment options (“RP subaccounts”) providing the guaranteed rates for the periods and investment styles shown in the table. You may choose a maximum of two of the following allocations; one in each waiting period:

 

Waiting
Period
  Moderately
Conservative
Allocation

  amount  
  N/A
       
10 Years   2.0% return   1.0% return     Return

  amount  

 

Each RP subaccount invests in a Portfolio of the Fund that is a “fund of funds,” meaning that it invests primarily in other Portfolios of the Fund rather than directly in specific securities. For each RP subaccount, there is a corresponding Subaccount that invests in the same Portfolio as the RP subaccount. The corresponding Subaccount differs from the RP subaccount in that there is no investment guarantee associated with allocations to the corresponding Subaccount. The corresponding Subaccounts serve as investment vehicles for moneys that are not intended for, could not qualify for, or lost their qualifications for, the investment guarantees associated with the RP subaccounts.

 

We guarantee that the accumulated value of a Return Protection Allocation (“RPA”) at the end of its allocation period will be equal to the allocation amount accumulated for the duration of the allocation period at the effective annual interest rate for that RPA (as described in the table above) adjusted as follows:

 

  (1)   As of the day that a partial surrender is made, the accumulated allocation amount is decreased by the same proportion as the accumulated value of the RPA was decreased by that surrender.

 

  (2)   On any Contract Anniversary that we deduct an annual administrative charge, the accumulated allocation amount is decreased by the same proportion as the accumulated value of the RPA was decreased by the deduction for the annual administrative charge.

 

An RPA must be at least $10,000. This amount may be funded by a premium payment or by transfers from other investment options. See Allocation of Premiums for certain restrictions. On any Valuation Day you may not have more than one seven-year and one ten-year RPA, and an allocation to an RPA may not be made if your Contract includes either the Premium Accumulation Death Benefit or the Earnings Addition Death Benefit. Furthermore, during the first two years you have an RPA, you may not make a transfer from your

 

 

24


Table of Contents

THE CONTRACT

 

 

accumulated value in an RP Subaccount to any other investment option.

 

Each RPA may not have an expiration date later than either the Annuity Date or the Contract Anniversary on which the Annuitant attains age 90 (or, if there are two Annuitants, the Contract Anniversary on which the older Annuitant attains age 90). An RPA automatically terminates on the earlier of its expiration date or the date that Death Benefits are calculated. You may only terminate an RPA prior to its expiration date if you give us Written Notice or notice by telephone (if you have such authorization). An RPA will terminate upon the death of the Annuitant at which time the RPA’s accumulated value will be transferred to the corresponding asset allocation Subaccount available without the return protection benefit that invests in the same Portfolio as the RP subaccount. An RPA may be terminated during its first two years, but only by requesting a surrender of the accumulated value of the RPA, and a surrender charge may apply. An RPA may be terminated more than two years after the date of its allocation by (1) requesting a surrender of the accumulated value of the RPA, for which a surrender charge may apply, or (2) requesting that the RPA’s accumulated value be transferred to the corresponding asset allocation Subaccount available without the return protection benefit that invests in the same Portfolio as the RP Subaccount.

 

At the end of an allocation period for an RPA, if the amount allocated to that RPA is at least $10,000, it will be applied on the expiration date as a new RPA, unless, prior to the expiration date, you give us Written Notice or notice by telephone (if you have completed the Telephone Transaction Authorization Form) to surrender or transfer that amount. The RPA will be applied to the same RP Subaccount and for the same period as the expired RPA, provided that the period does not extend beyond the date described above and that it is still offered by us. If the amount of the RPA is less than $10,000 or if the allocation period would extend beyond the date described above or is no longer available, the amount of that RPA will be transferred to the corresponding Subaccount available without the return protection benefit that invests in the same Portfolio as the RP Subaccount. If that Subaccount is no longer available for new allocations, the accumulated value of the expired RPA will be allocated to the Thrivent Money Market Subaccount. We will notify you at least 45 days before the end of an allocation period for an RPA.

 

Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit (GLWB) Rider

 

The Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit (GLWB) Rider (the “Rider”) is an optional benefit that allows you to withdraw up to a guaranteed withdrawal amount (GWA) each Contract Year for as long as the Rider is in force. GWA payments are not subject to a surrender charge and may be withdrawn each Contract Year after the GLWB Calculation Date, described below. The GWA will vary based on the Age the Rider is added, the Age additional premium payments are made, and the length of time the Contract Owner waits to set guaranteed values. These factors determine the applicable Withdrawal Percentage and Benefit Base, described below, that are used to compute the GWA.

 

Generally, the longer the GLWB Rider is in place before you begin taking the GWA, the greater the GWA will be. The period of time before you begin taking the GWA is called the GLWB Waiting Period. See GLWB Waiting Period, below. The period of time after you begin taking the GWA is called the GLWB Withdrawal Period. See GLWB Withdrawal Period, below. The GWA will also be affected if you take Excess Partial Surrenders, which are surrender amounts in excess of the GWA in any Contract Year. See Effect of Excess Partial Surrenders, below.

 

The Rider also guarantees the return of the Accumulated Value on the Rider Date of Issue plus premiums added less adjustments for partial surrenders taken and charges deducted to the Contract Owner’s beneficiary if the

 

 

25


Table of Contents

THE CONTRACT

 

 

Annuitant dies before the Annuity Date and before the foregoing guaranteed amount has been returned through guaranteed withdrawals. This guaranteed amount is called the GLWB Survivor Benefit and is subject to certain conditions. See GLWB Survivor Benefit, below.

 

We impose a GLWB Risk Charge for this benefit as a percentage of average daily Accumulated Value based on the Subaccount you choose. This charge will not exceed 1.25% and is in addition to the Contract’s Mortality and Expense Risk Charge. See GLWB Risk Charge, below. During the GLWB Withdrawal Period (described below), each Contract Year we will waive surrender charges provided your cumulative surrenders during a Contract Year do not exceed the GWA for that Contract Year or 10% of the Accumulated Value at the time the first partial surrender is made in that Contract Year.

 

You may purchase the GLWB Rider as a part of your Contract at the time the Contract is issued or after your Contract is issued. At the Date of Issue of the Rider the Annuitant must be at least 50 years of age, and no more than 85 years of age. When the GLWB Rider is issued, the premium or the Accumulated Value of the Contract should be at least $25,000. We must provide prior approval before issuing a GLWB Rider if the premium or Contract’s Accumulated Value is less than $25,000 or equal to or greater than $1 million. We do not offer the GLWB Rider on Contracts with joint annuitants. The GLWB Rider is not available while any of the following optional benefits are in force:

 

  ¨  

Maximum Anniversary Death Benefit;

 

  ¨  

Premium Accumulation Death Benefit;

 

  ¨  

Earnings Addition Death Benefit; or

 

  ¨  

Return Protection Allocation.

 

If you do have any of the above benefits, they would have to be cancelled before we can issue the GLWB Rider. Neither Dollar Cost Averaging nor Asset Rebalancing is available if you have the GLWB Rider. You should carefully consider whether the absence or cancellation of these benefits is appropriate for you before electing the GLWB Rider.

 

GLWB Waiting Period. The GLWB Waiting Period begins when the Rider is issued and continues until you establish your GLWB Calculation Date. During both the GLWB Waiting and Withdrawal Periods, we will compute the Benefit Base, which we use to calculate the amount of GWA. On the GLWB Rider Date of Issue, the Benefit Base is equal to the Accumulated Value. If the GLWB Rider is issued on the Contract’s Date of Issue, the Benefit Base will equal the initial premium into the Contract. If the Rider is added after the Contract is issued, the Benefit Base will equal the Accumulated Value that is transferred to the Subaccount you choose on the Date of Issue of the Rider. At the time the GLWB Rider is added, you must allocate all of your Accumulated Value to only one of the following investment options:

 

  ¨  

Thrivent Moderately Aggressive Allocation Subaccount;

 

  ¨  

Thrivent Moderate Allocation Subaccount; or

 

  ¨  

Thrivent Moderately Conservative Allocation Subaccount.

 

If the Date of Issue of the GLWB Rider is after the Contract’s Date of Issue, the Accumulated Value will be transferred on the Date of Issue of the Rider to the Subaccount elected by you. A Market Value Adjustment will apply to Accumulated Value that is transferred from a Fixed Period Allocation more than 30 days before the end of its allocation period. The Market Value Adjustment may increase or decrease the amount transferred. See Investment Options—Fixed Period Allocations and the Market Value Adjustment Account for a description of the Market Value Adjustment.

 

 

26


Table of Contents

THE CONTRACT

 

 

While the GLWB Rider is in force, transfer to another Subaccount is restricted. Restrictions include:

 

  ¨  

Allocation transfer must be 100% to another Allocation Subaccount (as outlined above as permissible investment options).

 

  ¨  

Transfers may only be made if the Benefit Base is increased to equal the Accumulated Value on the Contract Anniversary in accordance with the Rider.

 

 

¨

 

The request to transfer must be made before the end of the valuation day by the 45th day after your Contract Anniversary.

 

Automatic transfers are not allowed while the GLWB Rider is in force.

 

Benefit Base during the GLWB Waiting Period. On each Contract Anniversary during the GLWB Waiting Period, the Benefit Base is ratcheted up to equal the Accumulated Value at the end of the prior day if such adjustment would increase the Benefit Base. If the Accumulated Value is less than the current Benefit Base, then the ratchet feature does not change the Benefit Base. The Benefit Base is increased by any premiums that we receive before the GLWB Calculation Date. However, no premiums can be paid within one year from any partial surrender.

 

During the GLWB Waiting Period, the Benefit Base is decreased in the event a partial surrender is taken or when the annual administrative charge is taken. The Benefit Base is decreased by the amount taken if the Benefit Base is less than or equal to the Accumulated Value. Otherwise, the Benefit Base is decreased by the same proportion that the Accumulated Value is decreased by the amount taken.

 

Example:

 

A $5,000 partial surrender is taken from a Contract in which the Accumulated Value is $90,000, but the Benefit Base is $100,000. The resulting Benefit Base would be calculated as follows:

 

[1- (5,000/90,000)] x 100,000 = $94,444.44

 

The Benefit Base on the Contract Anniversary that you elect to be the GLWB Calculation Date is adjusted as described above for any premiums allocated and partial surrenders made on or after that Contract Anniversary and before we receive notification of your election of the GLWB Calculation Date.

 

GLWB Withdrawal Period. The GLWB Waiting Period ends and the GLWB Withdrawal Period begins on the GLWB Calculation Date. To set your GLWB Calculation Date, you must notify us within 45 days after an eligible Contract Anniversary. An eligible Contract Anniversary is any Contract Anniversary on or after the Contract Anniversary the Annuitant reaches 62 years of age and on or before the Annuity Date. Once you provide the proper notification, the most recent Contract Anniversary date will become the GLWB Calculation Date. No further premiums will be accepted after you elect the GLWB Calculation Date. If you do not elect a GLWB Calculation Date before your Annuity Date, the GLWB Calculation Date will be the Annuity Date. Once the GLWB Calculation Date is set, the GWA is calculated. The calculation continues annually until the Rider terminates. No Annual Administrative Charge is deducted during this period.

 

Benefit Base during the GLWB Withdrawal Period. On any Contract Anniversary after we receive notice of your election of the GLWB Calculation Date and on or before the date that the Annuitant reaches Age 90, the Benefit Base is adjusted to equal the Accumulated Value at the end of the prior day if the adjustment will increase the Benefit Base. After we receive notice of your election of the GLWB Calculation Date, the Benefit Base will be reduced for GLWB Excess Surrenders, defined below, but will not be reduced by the amount of the GWA. The amount of the reduction is described below under Effects of partial surrenders during the GLWB Withdrawal Period.

 

Withdrawal Percentage. The Withdrawal Percentage is the percentage that is applied to the Benefit Base to determine the GWA. The initial Withdrawal Percentage

 

 

27


Table of Contents

THE CONTRACT

 

 

is determined on the GLWB Calculation Date. The Withdrawal Percentage is based on the Annuitant’s Age at which each premium payment is made and the waiting period from the premium payment date until the GLWB Calculation Date. The initial Withdrawal Percentage is equal to the weighted average of each adjusted premium multiplied by the applicable Percentage Applied from the table below, as follows:

 

  1)   the sum of adjusted premiums, each multiplied by its Percentage Applied shown in the table below; divided by

 

  2)   the sum of adjusted premiums.

Each premium payment will be assigned a Percentage Applied. The Withdrawal Percentage used to determine the GWA is calculated as the weighted average of the Percentages Applied.

 

For example, assume the Accumulated Value at the time the Rider is added is $100,000 and the Annuitant is age 62. Two years later at the Annuitant’s age 64, the Annuitant makes an additional premium of $50,000. Then at age 68, the Annuitant adds another $50,000 premium payment. The Annuitant decides to begin taking the GWA at age 72. From the chart above, the weighted Withdrawal Percentage would be:

 

[(100,000 x 6%) + (50,000 x 5%) + (50,000 x 4.5%)] = 5.375%

200,000

 

For purposes of calculating the Withdrawal Percentage, adjusted premiums are determined by subtracting the amount of partial surrenders taken from premiums paid on a last-in, first-out basis at the time the partial surrender is taken. Generally, the Withdrawal Percentage will be higher if premiums are paid earlier and if partial surrenders are made later.

 

For example, if the Annuitant in the preceding example took a partial surrender of $10,000 at Age 63, and a partial surrender of $5,000 at age 69, the weighted Withdrawal Percentage would be:

 

[(90,000 x 6%) + (50,000 x 5%) + (45,000 x 4.5%)] = 5.365%

185,000

 

In addition, premiums paid within the first three months after a Contract Anniversary will be treated as if they were allocated on that Contract Anniversary and at the Age on that Anniversary. All other premiums allocated during the GLWB Waiting Period will be treated as if they were allocated on the next Contract Anniversary after the date of allocation and at the Age on that Anniversary. This treatment of premiums is only for purposes of assigning the Percentage Applied to the adjusted premium amount.

 

For example, assume an Annuitant’s Contract Anniversary falls on May 1 of each year. If the Annuitant pays a premium on August 1 of the current year (i.e., within 3 months of the May 1 Contract Anniversary), that premium will be treated as if it were allocated on May 1 of that year and at the Age on that Contract Anniversary. If the Annuitant pays a premium on September 1 of the current year (i.e., more than 3 months after the May 1 Contract Anniversary), that premium will be treated as if it were allocated on May 1 of the following year at the Age on May 1 of the following year.

 

Guaranteed Withdrawal Amount (GWA). You will need to notify us when you want to begin taking the GWA. The GWA is the amount that can be withdrawn

 

 

28


Table of Contents

THE CONTRACT

 

 

each Contract Year without a surrender charge. The GWA is determined on the GLWB Calculation Date and each Contract Anniversary thereafter. The GWA is equal to the Benefit Base (not to exceed $5 million) multiplied by the Withdrawal Percentage. The GWA may change from year to year depending on whether the Benefit Base was increased, as described above, or decreased as a result of GLWB Excess Surrenders. On any day that the Benefit Base is decreased during the GLWB Withdrawal Period, the GWA will be adjusted, effective as of the next Contract Anniversary, to equal (a) the lesser of the Benefit Base on that date or $5,000,000, multiplied by (b) the Withdrawal Percentage, and the GWA will decrease proportionately. On any Contract Anniversary that the Benefit Base has increased during the GLWB Withdrawal Period to equal the Accumulated Value in accordance with the Rider, the Withdrawal Percentage will be compared to the Withdrawal Percentages in the following table based on the current Age of the Annuitant. The larger of the two Withdrawal Percentages will become the new Withdrawal Percentage. The following table is based on your Age under your Contract.

 

Annuitant
Age
on Contract

Anniversary

 

Attained Age

Percentage Applied

67-71   4.50%
72-76   5.00%
77-81   5.50%
82-90   6.00%

 

The lesser of the increased Benefit Base or $5 million will be multiplied by the new Withdrawal Percentage to determine your new GWA. If the Benefit Base increases, your GWA will increase. Your GWA will not decrease unless your Benefit Base decreases. Any decrease in your GWA is effective on the following Contract Anniversary. No surrender charges will apply when partial surrenders are made during the GLWB Withdrawal Period except to the extent that total surrenders in a Contract Year exceed the greater of (a) the GWA, or (b) 10% of the Accumulated Value at the time of the first partial surrender in that Contract Year. Withdrawals of the GWA are taxed in the same manner as partial surrenders under the Contract. See Taxation of Partial and Full Surrenders on page 49 of the prospectus.

 

Withdrawals after your Annuity Date. While the GLWB Rider is in force, beginning on the Annuity Date, you will be required to withdraw a minimum amount from your Contract each year called a Required Withdrawal Amount. While the GLWB Rider is in force, instead of paying the Annuity Income beginning on the Annuity Date according to the Contract, we will pay you an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Required Withdrawal Amount over the sum of any partial surrenders you have taken during that Contract Year. The Required Withdrawal Amount is the greater of (a) your GWA, and (b) the Accumulated Value at the end of the prior Contract Year multiplied by the Amortization Factor for the Age in the current Contract Year. Amortization Factors will not exceed the factors shown in the table below:

Based on your circumstances, you may want to consider annuitizing rather than continuing the GLWB. Before the Annuity Date, you will be informed of your options to continue with the GLWB or to annuitize your contract. If you want the flexibility to increase your partial surrenders or if you want access to the Accumulated Value at any time, you may want to continue the GLWB. If you do not need this flexibility, you should consider annuitizing by electing a settlement option instead. Settlement options may provide higher guaranteed payments and longer guaranteed periods, depending on the option you select.

If a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) is defined for the Contract by Section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code, then at the end of each calendar year, we will pay you an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Required Minimum Distribution determined by us for that calendar year over the sum of any partial surrenders you have taken during that calendar year.

 

Any amounts that we pay will be treated as partial surrenders under the Contract.

 

Effects of partial surrenders during the GLWB Withdrawal Period. If the sum of partial surrenders within a Contract Year exceeds the greatest of:

 

  ¨  

the GWA for that Contract Year,

 

  ¨  

the Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) for that calendar year, if any, as we determine for the Contract, or

 

  ¨  

if that day is in a Contract Year that began in the prior calendar year, the RMD, if any, for the prior calendar year that we determine for this Contract;

 

this excess amount is a GLWB Excess Surrender. Any subsequent partial surrender taken within the same Contract Year in which a GLWB Excess Surrender is made will also be considered a GLWB Excess Surrender. A GLWB Excess Surrender affects the calculation of the Benefit Base. If the Benefit Base is less than or equal to the Accumulated Value, the Benefit Base is decreased by the amount of the GLWB Excess Surrender. If the Benefit Base is greater than the Accumulated Value, the Benefit Base is decreased by the same percentage as the Accumulated Value according to the following ratio:

 

        a        

b - (c-a)

 

Where:

 

a = GLWB Excess Surrender amount

 

b = Accumulated Value prior to surrender

 

c = partial surrender amount

 

No surrender charges will apply to partial surrenders made during the GLWB Withdrawal Period to the extent partial surrenders in a Contract Year do not exceed the greater of the GWA for that Contract Year, or 10% of the Accumulated Value at the time of the first partial surrender in a Contract Year.

 

GLWB Survivor Benefit. If the Annuitant dies during the GLWB Withdrawal Period and before the Annuity Date, the beneficiary may elect to receive the GLWB Survivor Benefit, if any, in lieu of any death proceeds under the Contract. If the Annuitant dies after the Annuity Date, the beneficiary may elect to receive the GLWB Survivor Benefit, if any, in lieu of the Accumulated Value of the Contract. The survivor should work with a financial representative to determine whether to take a lump sum standard death benefit, the fixed amount settlement option offered as the Survivor Benefit, or the commuted value of the Survivor Benefit. The beneficiary must notify us of their election to receive the GLWB Survivor Benefit within 60 days after we receive proof of death of the Annuitant. On the date the GLWB Rider is issued, the GLWB Survivor Benefit equals the Accumulated Value. Thereafter, the GLWB Survivor Benefit increases on a day we apply a premium by the amount of the premium, and decreases on a day in which a partial surrender or annual administrative charge is deducted by the amount of the partial surrender or administrative charge. However, if a GLWB Excess Surrender is taken, the GLWB Survivor Benefit is decreased as follows: if the GLWB Survivor Benefit is less than or equal to the Accumulated Value, the Benefit is decreased by the amount of the surrender; or, if the GLWB Survivor Benefit is greater than the Accumulated Value, the benefit is first decreased by the amount of the partial surrender that does not represent the GLWB Excess Surrender. The remaining amount is then decreased by the following ratio:

 

        a        

b - (c-a)

 

Where:

 

a = GLWB Excess Surrender amount

 

b = Accumulated Value prior to surrender

 

c = partial surrender amount

THE CONTRACT

 

 

We will pay the GLWB Survivor Benefit in equal amounts under a settlement agreement. Payments will continue until the sum of payments equals the GLWB Survivor Benefit. The payment period will not exceed the life expectancy of the beneficiary. If the Annuitant dies before the Annuity Date and the spouse of the Annuitant is the sole primary beneficiary, the surviving spouse may elect to continue the Contract as Annuitant and owner. At the time this election becomes effective, the Accumulated Value of the Contract and any excess of Death Proceeds over the Accumulated Value on that date will remain in the Subaccount in which the Accumulated Value was allocated at that time, but will no longer be subject to the GLWB Risk Charge. We account for this by crediting the surviving spouse with Subaccount accumulation units that are not subject to the GLWB Risk Charge in lieu of units that are subject to the Charge. This election results in a termination of the GLWB Rider. If the election to continue the Contract is not made within 60 days from the date we receive proof of death, the surviving spouse will be deemed to have elected to continue the Contract effective on the Exchange Date. This also results in the termination of the GLWB Rider.

 

Termination of the GLWB Rider. You may terminate the GLWB Rider at any time provided it is at least two years after we issued the Rider. The termination will be effective on the date we receive Written Notice from you. The Rider also terminates at the earliest of any of the following events:

 

  ¨  

the date of Contract termination;

 

  ¨  

the date we receive satisfactory proof of the death of the Annuitant;

 

  ¨  

the date you elect to receive annuity income under the Contract;

 

  ¨  

the date during the GLWB Waiting Period that the sum of partial surrenders made and annual administrative charges deducted for this Contract exceeds the sum of premiums paid; or

 

  ¨  

the date during the GLWB Withdrawal Period that the Benefit Base is reduced to zero.

 

If the Contract terminates because the GWA that is surrendered exceeds the Accumulated Value, we will continue to pay you the GWA each year for as long as the Annuitant is alive under a settlement agreement that we will issue. If the GLWB Rider terminates for reasons other than the termination of the entire Contract, the Accumulated Value will remain in the same Subaccount but will no longer be subject to the GLWB Risk Charge, unless you request a different allocation. We account for this by crediting you with Subaccount accumulation units that are not subject to the GLWB Risk Charge in lieu of units that are subject to the Charge. Once the GLWB Rider terminates, the GLWB Risk Charge will also cease. If the Rider terminates after the Annuity Date and there is Accumulated Value remaining, we will begin paying Annuity Income according to the Contract.

 

If your Contract is used in a Qualified Plan or 403(b) Plan, you are subject to restrictions on withdrawals you may take prior to a triggering event and you should consult your tax or legal advisor prior to purchasing an optional guarantee, the primary benefit of which is guaranteeing withdrawals. For additional information regarding withdrawals and triggering events, see the Federal Tax Status section in the Prospectus. The GLWB Rider is not available within certain employer-sponsored retirement plans.

 

Death Benefit Before the Annuity Date

 

Your Contract provides for a death benefit if the Annuitant dies before the Annuity Date. The amount of the death benefit will be the sum of (1) and (2) where

 

  (1)   Is the greatest of:

 

  (a)   The Basic Death Benefit;

 

  (b)   The Maximum Anniversary Death Benefit, if any; and

 

  (c)   The Premium Accumulation Death Benefit, if any.

 

  (2)   Is the amount of the Earnings Addition Death Benefit, if any.

Table of Contents

THE CONTRACT

 

 

We calculate the death benefit at the end of the Valuation Period during which we receive at our Service Center satisfactory proof of the death of an Annuitant. Any amount of the death benefit in excess of the Accumulated Value will be allocated to the Subaccounts, the Fixed Account, and Fixed Period Allocations according to the ratio of the accumulated value in each to the Accumulated Value of the Contract, except that any portion of the excess based on amounts in Fixed Period Allocations will be allocated to Thrivent Money Market Subaccount, and any portion of the death proceeds based on an RP subaccount will be allocated to the corresponding asset allocation Subaccount available without the return protection benefit that invests in the same Portfolio as the RP subaccount. Once calculated, death proceeds may continue to be subject to the investment experience of the Variable Account. When based on the investment experience of the Variable Account, death proceeds may increase or decrease daily and are not guaranteed for a minimum dollar amount. Only when the beneficiary provides the claim form and all claim requirements in good order will that beneficiary’s share of the death proceeds be removed from the market so that claim payment can be made. In the case of multiple beneficiaries, we must receive a completed form from each beneficiary. We process each claim independently.

Example of calculation of death proceeds:

 

Harry died on June 20, 2009. Since the Contract’s issue date, Harry contributed a total of $300,000 of premium payments to his Contract and made no withdrawals. On June 25, 2009, we received proof of death. The current Accumulated Value of Harry’s Contract on that day was $275,000. The basic death benefit provides for an infusion to the Contract if the total premiums payments ever exceed the Accumulated Value when we receive satisfactory proof of death. We determined Harry’s basic death benefit by comparing the following:

 

Comparison Values

Total premiums paid

   $ 300,000

Accumulated Value

   $ 275,000
      

Basic Death Benefit

   $ 300,000

 

Since the highest value is $300,000, an amount is infused into the Contract to bring the value of the contract up to $300,000 ($25,000 + $275,000 = $300,000). This amount equals the death proceeds.

 

Death Proceeds fluctuate daily and are not guaranteed as to minimum dollar amount. No proceeds are distributed until we receive the claim form in good order.

 

Example of Paying Death Proceeds to Beneficiaries:

 

On June 25, we received satisfactory proof of death; we determined that the death proceeds were $300,000 as of that day (30,000 accumulation units x $10 each). Harry’s two children are the beneficiaries and are entitled to  1/2 each (as a result, each one is entitled to 15,000 accumulation units). Beneficiaries submit their claim forms on different dates. As a result they receive the following:

 

Date

  Beneficiary   Accumulation
Unit Value
  Death Claim Amount Received

July 10

  Jenny   $ 11   15,000 x $11= $165,000

July 20

  Garth   $ 9   15,000 x $9= $135,000

Table of Contents

THE CONTRACT

 

 

 

Beneficiaries who are natural persons may elect to receive the death benefit in a lump sum or according to one of the settlement plans described in the Contract. See Annuity Provisions—Settlement Options.

 

Basic Death Benefit

 

The Basic Death Benefit is equal to the greater of the Accumulated Value on that day and the adjusted sum of premiums determined as follows:

 

  (1)   As of the day a premium is received by us, the sum is increased by the amount of that premium.

 

  (2)   As of the day a partial surrender or annual administrative charge is taken, the sum is decreased by the same proportion as the Accumulated Value was decreased by that amount.

 

Death Benefit Options

 

Any additional death benefits options must be set up at the time of application. Additional death benefit options may not be added after the Contract is in force.

 

Death Benefit Options are not available if any Annuitant(s) attained age is 74 or more.

 

Maximum Anniversary Death Benefit. If you purchase this option, the Maximum Anniversary Death Benefit on any day on or before the Contract Anniversary on which the Annuitant attains Age 80 (or, if there are two Annuitants, the Contract Anniversary on which the older Annuitant attains Age 80) is the greatest of the Anniversary Death Benefits determined as of that day for each Contract Anniversary. The Anniversary Death Benefit for a Contract Anniversary is the Accumulated Value on that anniversary adjusted as follows for any premiums paid or amounts taken after that date:

 

  (1)   As of the day a premium is received by us, the benefit is increased by the amount of that premium.

 

  (2)   As of the day that a partial surrender or annual administrative charge is taken, the benefit is decreased by the same proportion as the Accumulated Value was decreased by that amount.

 

On any day after any Annuitant attains Age 80, the Maximum Anniversary Death Benefit is equal to the amount calculated above on the Age 80 Contract Anniversary adjusted as in (1) and (2) above for any premiums paid or amounts taken after that anniversary.

 

Premium Accumulation Death Benefit. If you purchase this option, the Premium Accumulation Death Benefit on any day on or before the Contract Anniversary on which the Annuitant attains Age 80 (or, if there are two Annuitants, the Contract Anniversary on which the older Annuitant attains Age 80) is the lesser of:

 

  (1)   The accumulation at 5% effective annual interest (compounded daily) of the premiums received by us adjusted for any partial surrenders and annual administrative charges. As of the day that a partial surrender or annual administrative charge is taken, the accumulated premiums are decreased by the same proportion as the Accumulated Value was decreased by the amount taken; and

 

  (2)   Two times the adjusted sum of the premiums determined for the Basic Death Benefit.

 

The Premium Accumulation Death Benefit on any date after any Annuitant attains Age 80 is equal to the sum of the amount calculated above on the Age 80 Contract Anniversary and any premiums received by us after that anniversary, adjusted as in (1) above for any partial surrenders or annual administrative charges taken after that anniversary.

 

Earnings Addition Death Benefit. If you purchase this option, the Earnings Addition Death Benefit on any day on or before the Contract Anniversary on which the Annuitant attains Age 80 (or, if there are two Annuitants, the Contract Anniversary on which the older Annuitant attains Age 80) will be 40% of the lesser of:

 

  (1)   The adjusted sum of premiums determined for the Basic Death Benefit; and

 

  (2)   The amount by which the Accumulated Value on that date exceeds the amount determined in clause (1) above.

 

 

33


Table of Contents

THE CONTRACT

 

 

On any day after any Annuitant attains Age 80, the Earnings Addition Death Benefit is equal to the amount calculated above on the Age 80 Contract Anniversary adjusted for any partial surrenders or annual administrative charges taken after that anniversary. As of a day that a partial surrender or annual administrative charge is taken, the amount calculated on the Age 80 Contract Anniversary is decreased by the same proportion as the Accumulated Value was decreased by the amount taken.

 

Death of an Owner Before the Annuity Date

 

If you are an owner, but not the Annuitant, you may name a successor owner who will become an owner of this contract at your death. If an owner who is not the Annuitant dies before any Annuitant and before the Annuity Date, we will pay the Cash Surrender Value to the surviving owners in proportion to each owner’s percentage of ownership. The Cash Surrender Value must be paid within five years of the owner’s death. If your successor owner is a natural person, he or she may select an annuity payment option. Payments must begin within one year of your death and must be made over a period that does not extend beyond the life or life expectancy of the successor owner, as applicable. If your spouse is the sole surviving owner, then the spouse may elect, in lieu of receiving the Cash Surrender Value, to continue this contract in force as owner.

 

Spouse Election to Continue the Contract

 

If an Annuitant dies before annuity payments begin and that Annuitant’s spouse is the sole primary beneficiary, he or she may, to the extent permitted by law, elect to continue the Contract in force, in which case the surviving spouse will become and be treated as the Annuitant and owner effective on the date that the death proceeds are calculated (“Exchange Date”). Any amount of death proceeds in excess of the Accumulated Value of the Contract will be allocated to the Subaccounts, the Fixed Account, and Fixed Period Allocations according to the ratio of the accumulated value in each to the Accumulated Value of the Contract, except that:

 

  (1)   any portion of the increase based on amounts in a Fixed Period Allocation will be allocated to the Thrivent Money Market Subaccount; and

 

  (2)   any portion of the increase based on an RP subaccount will be applied to a corresponding asset allocation Subaccount available without the return protection benefit that invests in the same Portfolio as the RP subaccount

 

  (3)   the Accumulated Value of the Contract on the Exchange Date and any excess of Death Proceeds over the Accumulated Value on that date will be transferred from the GLWB subaccount to a Subaccount investing in the same underlying portfolio without the GLWB benefit.

 

If an election to receive death proceeds or to continue the Contract is not made within 60 days, the surviving spouse will be deemed to have elected to continue the Contract effective on the Exchange Date. The spouse will have 60 days from the date we receive proof of your death in which to elect to receive proceeds or to continue the Contract.

 

If the surviving spouse elects to continue the Contract, the Basic Death Benefit and any optional death benefits will be determined according to your Contract based on the Accumulated Value on the Exchange Date.

 

If your Contract was issued in connection with a Qualified Plan, additional restrictions on the manner of payment of the death benefit may apply. Any such restrictions will be stated in the Contract or the plan documents. Purchasers acquiring Contracts pursuant to Qualified Plans should consult qualified pension or tax advisers.

THE CONTRACT

 

 

Death of Annuitant After the Annuity Date

 

If the Annuitant dies while we are paying you an annuity income under a settlement option, any amounts payable will depend on the terms of the settlement option. See Annuity Provisions—Settlement Options.

 

Surrender

 

On or before the Annuity Date while the Annuitant is living, you may surrender your Contract for its cash surrender value or you may request a partial surrender or systematic partial surrender by completing an approved surrender form and sending it to our Service Center. The surrender or partial surrender will not be processed until we receive your surrender request at our Service Center in good order. If we receive your surrender request before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, it will receive that day’s valuation.

 

If you have completed an approved telephone transaction authorization form, you may make partial surrenders by telephone. (Contracts used in a tax-sheltered annuity under Section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code will be subject to certain restrictions regarding surrenders and may require an employer signature. See Federal Tax Status—Qualified Plans.) Any surrender which you request will be made at the end of the Valuation Period during which the requirements for surrender are completed. We will pay you the proceeds from a surrender within seven days after the surrender is made.

 

The cash surrender value of your Contract will be equal to the Accumulated Value of your Contract increased or decreased by any MVA applied to Fixed Period Allocations and decreased by any surrender charge. See Charges and Deductions—Surrender Charge (Contingent Deferred Sales Charge).

 

When you request a partial surrender, you specify the amount that you want to receive as a result of the surrender. The partial surrender may be any amount which: (1) is at least $200 (except when used to pay premiums on a Thrivent Contract); (2) does not exceed the Accumulated Value; and (3) does not reduce the remaining Accumulated Value in the Contract to less than $1,000.

 

If the amount you request as a partial surrender would reduce the remaining Accumulated Value to less than $1,000, we may contact you to determine whether you would like a partial surrender of an amount that would result in remaining Accumulated Value of at least $1,000 or whether instead you would like to make a full surrender of your Contract. If we are unable to contact you within seven days, we reserve the right to treat your request as a request for a full surrender.

 

If there is no MVA, surrender charge, or tax associated with the surrender, the amount surrendered will be the amount that you request to receive. Otherwise, the amount surrendered will be the amount necessary to provide the amount requested after we apply the MVA, surrender charge, and any tax.

 

When you request a partial surrender, we will allocate the partial surrender among the Subaccounts, the Fixed Account, and each Fixed Period Allocation according to the ratio for the Contract of the accumulated value (plus any MVA) in each Fixed Period Allocation, each Subaccount, and the Fixed Account to the Accumulated Value (plus any MVA) of the Contract. Amounts surrendered from a Subaccount will be done by reducing Accumulation Units of that Subaccount. Any amounts applied against Fixed Period Allocations will be taken in order from Fixed Period Allocations in first-in, first-out order.

 

With our approval, you may specify a different allocation for a partial surrender. If you have requested that a systematic partial surrender should be allocated to a specific Subaccount and the value in that Subaccount is less than the amount of the allocation, we will allocate the partial surrender as described above among the Subaccounts, the Fixed Account, and each Fixed Period Allocation.

Table of Contents

THE CONTRACT

 

 

After the Annuity Date, your Contract does not have an Accumulated Value that can be surrendered. However, surrender may be allowed under certain settlement options. See Annuity Provisions—Settlement Options.

 

You must have a Medallion Signature Guarantee if you want to do any of the following:

 

  ¨  

Surrender a value of more than $100,000;

 

  ¨  

Send proceeds to an address other than the one listed on your account; or

 

  ¨  

Make the check payable to someone other than the current owner(s).

 

A Medallion Signature Guarantee is a stamp provided by a financial institution that guarantees your signature. You sign the Thrivent Financial Surrender form and have the signature (s) guaranteed by an eligible guarantor institution such as a commercial bank, trust company, brokerage firm, credit union, or a savings bank participating in the Medallion Signature Guarantee Program.

 

Until December 31, 2009, we will waive the Medallion Signature Guarantee requirement where payment proceeds (not exceeding $100,000) are sent directly to a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. We may waive the Medallion Signature Guarantee requirement in other limited instances.

 

For all surrenders, you should consider the tax implications of a surrender before you make a surrender request. See Federal Tax Status.

 

Transfers Of Accumulated Value

 

On or before the Annuity Date while an Annuitant is still living, you may request the transfer of all or a part of your Contract’s Accumulated Value among the Subaccounts, the Fixed Account, and Fixed Period Allocations.

 

You can request a transfer in two ways:

 

  (1)   By giving us Written Notice; or

 

  (2)   Notice by telephone after completing an approved telephone transaction authorization form.

 

We will process your transfer request prior to the close the regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) at the close of business that same day. Requests received after the close of the New York Stock Exchange are processed the next Valuation Day. If you request a transfer to or from a Subaccount, we will credit or reduce your Accumulation Units of the chosen Subaccount. Transfers are subject to the following conditions:

 

  ¨  

Transfers involving the GLWB are restricted as to the timing and the type of Subaccount choice. (See GLWB Waiting Period)

 

  ¨  

The total amount transferred from a Subaccount, a Fixed Period Allocation, or the Fixed Account must be at least $200. However, if the total value in a Subaccount, a Fixed Period Allocation, or the Fixed Account is less than $200, the entire amount may be transferred. Transfers from a Fixed Period Allocation may be made only within 30 days before the end of its allocation period.

 

  ¨  

Transfers involving the RPA are restricted as to the timing and Subaccount choices. (See Return Protection Allocations)

 

  ¨  

The amount transferred from the Fixed Account in any Contract Year may not exceed the greater of $500 and 25% of the accumulated value in the Fixed Account at the time the first transfer is made in that Contract Year.

 

  ¨  

The amount transferred to a Fixed Period Allocation cannot be less than $1,000.

 

  ¨  

You may make 12 free transfers in any Contract Year. For each transfer in excess of 12 (excluding automatic transfers made through dollar cost

averaging or asset rebalancing), we will charge you $25. We consider all amounts transferred in the same Valuation Period to be one transfer for purposes of this charge. It is not dependent upon the number of originating or destination Subaccounts. We reserve the right to limit the number of transfers you make in any Contract Year.

 

Transfers may also be subject to any conditions that the Portfolio whose shares are involved may impose.

 

Abusive Trading Policies and Monitoring Processes

 

We do not allow short-term and excessive transfers and other abusive trading practices, and we do not accommodate frequent purchases and redemptions except as described below. Abusive trading by contract owners can disrupt portfolio management and increase expenses of the underlying mutual fund and thereby negatively impact the performance of the corresponding subaccount.

 

We have adopted the following policies to combat abusive trading practices. Several different tactics are used to reduce the frequency and effect of abusive trading within the subaccounts. We may use a combination of monitoring contract owner activity and restricting contract owner transfers. When monitoring contract owner activity, we may consider several factors to evaluate transfer activity including, but not limited to, the amount and frequency of transfers, the amount of time between transfers, and trading patterns. In making this evaluation, we may consider trading in multiple contracts under common ownership or control.

 

We may deem the transfer out of all or a substantial portion of a contract owner’s subaccount value to be abusive if the transfer is made within fifteen days after the value was transferred into that subaccount. This policy does not apply to dollar cost averaging, automatic investment plans, systematic withdrawal plans or non-abusive re-balancing. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to identify other trading practices as abusive.

 

If we determine that you are engaging in abusive trading activity, we will request you to cease such activity immediately. If we determine that you are continuing to engage in abusive trading, we will restrict your Contract so that you can make transfers on only one business day each calendar month and any such transfers must be separated by at least 20 calendar days. We reserve the right to reject or restrict any transfer request, without notice for any reason.

 

Although we seek to deter and prevent abusive trading practices, there are no guarantees that all activity can be detected or prevented. Contract owners engaging in abusive trading practices use an evolving variety of strategies to avoid detection and it may not be possible for operational and technological systems to reasonably identify abusive trading. Contract Owners still may be subject to the harmful effects of abusive trading practices if we are unable to detect and deter such practices.

 

Dollar Cost Averaging

 

Your Contract provides for two different dollar cost averaging programs that allow you to have automatic periodic transfers made to one or more Subaccounts up to a maximum of 40 other than RP subaccounts. Dollar cost averaging is generally suitable if you are making a substantial deposit to your Contract and desire to control the risk of investing at the top of a market cycle. Either dollar cost averaging program allows such investments to be made in equal installments over time in an effort to reduce such risk. Dollar cost averaging does not guarantee that your Contract’s Accumulated Value will gain in value, nor will it protect against a decline in value if market prices fall. However, it can be an effective strategy to help meet your long-term goals.

 

You may not include the RP subaccounts, the Fixed Account or the Fixed Period Allocation as destinations

THE CONTRACT

 

 

for the dollar cost averaging program. To participate in a dollar cost averaging program, complete the approved Form at the time of your application or call the Service Center at 1-800-THRIVENT (1-800-847-4836) to request an approved Form. The dollar cost averaging programs you may participate in are described below.

 

Dollar Cost Averaging from the Fixed Account. In the application for your Contract, you may dedicate a premium of at least $10,000 to be allocated to a one-year allocation in the Fixed Account (the “DCA Fixed Account”) for automatic monthly transfers to one or more Subaccounts. You may not transfer to the RP Subaccounts, the Fixed Account, or a Fixed Period Allocation in the dollar cost averaging program. The amount allocated to the DCA Fixed Account will be credited with an interest rate that will be determined when the payment is received and will be guaranteed for the duration of the one-year period.

 

One-twelfth of the amount you allocate to the DCA Fixed Account will be transferred to the designated Subaccounts when we allocate your initial premium, and subsequent transfers will be made on the same date each month for the next 11 months. If that date falls on a date at the end of the month like the 29th, 30th, or the 31st and the subsequent month does not have a comparable date, we will process the transfer on the last business day of the month. If the date falls on a weekend the transfer will be processed on the following business day. The amount of the transfer each month will be equal to the accumulated value in the DCA Fixed Account divided by the number of automatic transfers remaining. If you terminate the automatic transfers before the twelfth transfer is made, the accumulated value in the DCA Fixed Account will be transferred to the Thrivent Money Market Subaccount unless you request that it be transferred to a different Subaccount.

 

Money Market Dollar Cost Averaging. You may establish a dollar cost averaging program to make periodic transfers of at least the minimum amount required from the Thrivent Money Market Subaccount to up to 40 Subaccounts except the RP Subaccounts and the Fixed Account. If the remaining amount to be transferred drops below the amount you established, the entire remaining balance will be transferred on the next transfer date. If you subsequently allocate additional amounts to the Money Market Subaccount, the transfers will begin again on the schedule you set unless you terminate the Money Market Dollar Cost Averaging program. Transfers will be made automatically on the date you choose (except the 29th, 30th, or 31st of a month). Transfers will continue until the entire amount in the Money Market has been depleted or until you notify us to discontinue the program. In order to terminate the program, we must receive Written Notice or notice by telephone (if you have such authorization).

 

Asset Rebalancing

 

On or before the Annuity Date, you may participate in an optional asset rebalancing program that allows you to elect a specific asset allocation to maintain over time. You may not include RP Subaccounts, the Fixed Account, or a Fixed Period Allocation in the asset rebalancing program. If you make additional premium payments or transfers into a Subaccount that was not previously included in the asset rebalancing program, those amounts will not be subject to rebalancing unless you revise your asset rebalancing program. You may select any date to begin the asset rebalancing program (except the 29th, 30th, or 31st of a month) and whether to have your Subaccounts reallocated semiannually or annually. The sum of the rebalancing percentages must be 100% and each rebalancing allocation percentage must be a whole number not greater than 100%. The rebalancing will be done after all other transfers and allocations to or from the Subaccounts for the Valuation Day. To participate in the asset rebalancing program, complete the Asset Rebalancing Form at the time of your application or call 1-800-THRIVENT (1-800-847-4836) to request an Asset Rebalancing Form. To terminate the asset rebalancing program, you must provide Written Notice to us. The program will not terminate automatically by transferring your allocations to another subaccount.

Telephone and Online Transactions

 

You may perform various transactions over the telephone if we receive proper written authorization from you prior to any such transaction. You may give such authorization at the time you complete your application, or later upon request.

 

We have adopted reasonable security procedures to ensure the authenticity of telephone instructions, including requiring identification information, recording conversations and providing written confirmations of transactions. Nevertheless, we will honor telephone instructions from any person who provides the correct identifying information. Be aware that there is a risk of possible loss to the Contact Owner if an unauthorized person uses this service in the Contact Owner’s name. Thrivent Financial disclaims any liability for losses resulting from such transfers by reason of their allegedly not having been properly authorized. However, if Thrivent Financial does not take reasonable steps to help ensure that such authorizations are valid, Thrivent Financial may be liable for such losses. Certain circumstances may prevent you from conducting telephone transactions including but not limited to the event of a disaster, equipment malfunction, or overload of telephone system circuits. Should circumstances prevent you from conducting a telephone transaction, we recommend you provide us with Written Notice. If due to malfunction or other circumstances, the recording of the Contact Owner’s telephone request is incomplete or not fully comprehensible, we will not process the transaction.

 

The telephone number for transactions is (800) 847-4836.

 

We reserve the right to suspend or limit telephone transactions. We currently allow Contract Owners to pay premiums online at www.thrivent.com. We may offer other online transactions in the future. For more information regarding online transactions, please contact the Service Center at (800) 847-4836.

 

Timely Processing

 

We will process all requests in a timely fashion. Requests received prior to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (or sooner if the NYSE closes prior to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on a Valuation Day will use the Accumulation Unit Value as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE on that Valuation Day. We will process requests received after that time using the Accumulation Unit Value as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE of the following Valuation Day. An online transaction payment will be applied on the effective date you select. This date can be the same day you perform the transaction as long as the request is received prior to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The effective date cannot be a date prior to the date of the online transaction.

 

Once we issue your Contract, we will process payment of any amount due from any Subaccount within seven calendar days after we receive Notice. Payment may be postponed if the NYSE is closed. Postponement may also result for such other periods as the SEC may permit. Payment from the Fixed Accounts may be deferred up to six months.

 

Assignments

 

Assignment is the transfer of Contract ownership from one party to another. If the Contract was issued in a Qualified Plan, then before the Annuity Date:

 

  ¨  

You may transfer ownership to a trust, custodian, or employer, unless the plan is governed by Sections 408 or 408A of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

  ¨  

If the Contract Owner is a trust, custodian or employer, then the Contract Owner may transfer ownership to the Annuitant.

 

  ¨  

Otherwise, the Contract may not be sold, assigned, discounted or pledged as collateral for a loan or as security for performance of an obligation or for any other purpose to any person other than us.

 

If the Contract is not used in a Qualified Plan, then, before the Annuity Date, ownership may be transferred

THE CONTRACT

 

 

subject to our approval, except that joint Annuitants who are also joint owners may not transfer ownership to a natural person, and the Contract may be assigned as collateral. If the Contract was applied for as a juvenile contract, then ownership may be transferred only after control has been transferred to the Annuitant.

 

We are not bound by an assignment unless we receive notice of it in writing at our Service Center. We are not responsible for the validity or effect of any assignment.

 

You should consider the tax implications of an assignment. See Federal Tax Status.

 

Contract Owner, Beneficiaries and Annuitants

 

The Annuitant is the owner of the Contract unless another owner is named in the application or ownership is transferred or assigned to another person. While an Annuitant is living and before the Annuity Date, the owner may exercise all of the owner’s rights under the Contract. If there are multiple owners, all must act in concert to exercise ownership rights.

 

If the Contract was applied for as a juvenile contract, the Annuitant may not exercise ownership rights until control is transferred to the Annuitant. Before control is transferred, the person who applied for the Contract as applicant/controller may exercise ownership rights on behalf of the Annuitant.

 

The Contract Owner may (subject to the eligibility requirements in the bylaws of Thrivent Financial) name a beneficiary to receive the death benefit or the annuity proceeds payable under the Contract. If the beneficiary is not living on the date payment is due or if no beneficiary has been named, the death benefit will be paid to the Contract Owner, if living, or otherwise to the Contract Owner’s estate.

 

No Beneficiary change shall take effect unless received by Thrivent Financial at its principal office or corporate headquarters. When it is received, any change shall take effect as of the date the request for beneficiary change was signed, as long as the request for change was mailed or actually delivered to Thrivent Financial while the insured was alive. Such beneficiary change shall be null and void where Thrivent Financial has made a good faith payment of the proceeds or has taken other action before receiving the change.

 

CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS

 

 

Surrender Charge (Contingent Deferred Sales Charge)

 

We do not deduct a charge for sales expenses from premiums at the time premiums are paid. Instead, we deduct a charge at the time you surrender all or part of the Accumulated Value or begin receiving annuity proceeds, subject to certain exceptions noted below. This surrender charge applies only during the first seven Contract Years. During those years, we calculate the surrender charge as a percentage of the amount that you surrender. The amount surrendered to pay the surrender charge is subject to the surrender charge. The surrender charge will be deducted from the Accumulated Value after we pay you the amount you requested.

CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS

 

 

After Contract Year seven, there is no charge for making surrenders. In addition, during the first seven Contract Years we will limit or waive surrender charges as follows:

 

  ¨  

Surrenders Paid Under Certain Settlement Options. For surrenders that you make after Contract Year three, there is no surrender charge applied to amounts you elect to have paid under:

 

  (1)   A settlement option for a fixed amount or a fixed period (including Option 3V described under Annuity Provisions—Settlement Options) if the accumulation period and the payment period equal or exceed the Surrender Charge period and you agree at the time of settlement that after the first payment is made, you may not revoke or change the settlement option.

 

  (2)   Options which involve a life income, including Option 4V or 5V described under Annuity Provisions—Settlement Options.

 

  ¨  

Ten Percent Free Each Contract Year. In each Contract Year, you may surrender without a surrender charge up to 10% of the Accumulated Value existing at the time of your first surrender made in that Contract Year. This “Ten Percent Free” is not cumulative. For example, if you make no surrenders during the first three Contract Years, the percentage of Accumulated Value that you may surrender without charge in the fourth Contract Year is 10%, not 40%.

 

  ¨  

Total Disability of the Annuitant. There is no surrender charge during or within 90 days after the end of the Annuitant’s total disability (as defined in your Contract), provided that the total disability begins after the Contract is issued and before the Annuitant attains Age 65. We will require proof of total disability satisfactory to us.

 

  ¨  

Confinement of the Annuitant or the Annuitant’s Spouse in a Hospital, Nursing Home, or Hospice. There is no surrender charge during or within 90 days after the end of the confinement of the Annuitant or the Annuitant’s spouse in a licensed hospital, nursing home, or hospice, provided that the confinement begins after the Contract has been issued and continues for at least 30 consecutive days. We will require proof of confinement satisfactory to us.

 

  ¨  

Terminal Illness of the Annuitant or the Annuitant’s Spouse. There is no surrender charge if the Annuitant or the Annuitant’s spouse has a life expectancy of 12 months or less. We will require certification by a physician acting within the scope of his or her license and may require independent medical verification.

 

  ¨  

Loss of the Annuitant’s Job. There is no surrender charge if the Annuitant is unemployed for 90 consecutive days and receives state unemployment benefits and the surrender is made during unemployment or within 90 days after unemployment benefits cease. The unemployment must begin after the Contract is issued. We will require satisfactory proof of unemployment.

 

  ¨  

Series of Substantially Equal Periodic Payments for Life. There is no surrender charge if you receive payments made as one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments for your life or your life expectancy or the joint life expectancies of you and your beneficiary made not less frequently than annually.

 

The limitations or waivers of surrender charges described above may not be available in all states. Certain surrenders are subject to a 10% Federal tax penalty on the amount of income withdrawn. See Federal Tax Status.

 

If surrender charges are not sufficient to cover our sales expenses, we will bear the loss; conversely, if the amount of such charges proves more than enough, we will retain the excess. See Sufficiency of Charges below. We do not currently believe that the surrender charges we impose will cover our expected costs of distributing the Contracts.

 

Risk Charge

 

We assume certain financial risks associated with the Contracts. Those risks are of three basic types:

 

  ¨  

Mortality Risk. This includes our risk that (1) death benefits paid before the Annuity Date will be greater than the Accumulated Value available to

 

 

41


Table of Contents

CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS

 

 

 

pay those benefits, and (2) annuity payments involving life incomes will continue longer than we expected due to lower than expected death rates of the persons receiving them.

 

  ¨  

Expense Risk. This is the risk that the expenses we incur with respect to the Contracts will exceed Contract charges.

 

  ¨  

Investment Risk. This is the risk that we will need to pay the guarantee associated with an RPA.

 

As compensation for assuming these risks, we deduct a daily risk charge from the average daily net assets in the Variable Account. Prior to the Annuity Date, the amount of the risk charge depends upon whether your Contract has the Basic Death Benefit only or one or more optional benefits. The Fee and Expense Tables set forth above list the risk charges for various optional benefits for a Contract. Contracts pending payout due to a death claim are charged at an annual rate of 0.95%. We guarantee that the risk charge for your Contract will never exceed the annual rates shown in the Fee and Expense Tables. On or after the Annuity Date, the risk charge for Annuity Unit Values is 1.25% without the GLWB Rider in effect, or a maximum of 2.50% with the GLWB Rider in effect.

 

If the risk charge is insufficient to cover the actual cost of the risks assumed by us, we will bear the loss. We will not reduce annuity payments to compensate for the insufficiency. If the risk charge proves more than sufficient, the excess will be profit available to us for any appropriate corporate purpose including, among other things, payment of sales expenses. See Sufficiency of Charges below.

 

GLWB Risk Charge. We impose a charge for the GLWB Rider equal to a percentage of the average daily Accumulated Value invested in the Subaccount you chose. This charge is in addition to the Mortality and Expense Risk charge for the Contract. The current effective annual charge for the Rider is as follows, and may not be increased beyond the maximum of 1.25%. This charge is deducted from the Subaccount and reflected in the daily Accumulation Unit Value.

In addition, charges may include the Annual Administrative Charge for Contracts with an Accumulated Value of $15,000 or less.

 

Annual Administrative Charge

 

On each Contract Anniversary, we will deduct an annual administrative charge from the Accumulated Value if:

 

  (1)   the Accumulated Value on that day is less than $15,000; and

 

  (2)   the sum of all premiums paid less all partial surrenders made on the Contract is less than $15,000; and

 

  (3)   the sum of premiums paid less partial surrenders made during that the Contract Year just ended is less than $2,400.

 

The administrative charge will be $30 or, if less, 2% of the Accumulated Value on that Contract Anniversary. It

Table of Contents

CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS

 

 

will be taken from the Contract’s interest in each of the Subaccounts, Fixed Period Allocations, and the Fixed Account in the proportion that the value of each bears to the Contract’s Accumulated Value. For purposes of determining the allocation of the charge, the amount of a Fixed Period Allocation and the amount of the Accumulated Value will include any applicable MVA. If a portion of the charge is to be assessed against Fixed Period Allocations, such allocations will be taken on a first-in, first-out basis.

 

Transfer Charge

 

You may make 12 free transfers in each Contract Year. On subsequent transfers (other than the dollar cost averaging and asset rebalancing programs), you will incur a $25 transfer charge.

 

Surrender of Life Income Settlement Option

 

If we are making payments under a life income settlement option, a payee may elect to receive a lump sum instead of continuing payments under the life income settlement option, unless the life income election was irrevocable. We calculate the commuted value of the payments remaining in the guaranteed period by using an interest rate that is 0.25% higher than the interest rate that is used to determine the income payable under the life income settlement option.

 

Limited Exception to Surrender Charges

 

When the Contract is offered within a Qualified Plan in exchange for another variable annuity previously issued by us which is in a Qualified Plan, we may reduce or waive the surrender charge or the length of time that it applies.

 

Expenses of the Fund

 

Because the Variable Account purchases shares of the Fund, the net assets of the Variable Account will reflect the investment advisory fee or other expenses incurred by the Fund. See the Fee and Expense Tables and the accompanying current prospectus for the Fund.

 

Taxes

 

Currently, no charge will be made against the Variable Account for Federal income taxes. We may, however, make such a charge in the future if income or gains within the Variable Account will result in any Federal income tax liability to us. Charges for other taxes, if any, attributable to the Variable Account may also be made. See Federal Tax Status.

 

Sufficiency of Charges

 

If the amount of all charges assessed in connection with the Contracts as described above is not enough to cover all expenses incurred in connection therewith, we will bear the loss. Any such expenses borne by us will be paid out of our General Account which may include, among other things, proceeds derived from risk charges deducted from the Variable Account. Conversely, if the amount of such charges proves more than enough, we will retain the excess.

 

ANNUITY PROVISIONS

 

 

Annuity Date

 

The Annuity Date is the date on which we begin paying you an annuity income provided by your Contract’s cash surrender value. The Annuity Date stated in your Contract is the latest date on which we will begin paying you an annuity income. In general, the Annuity Date stated in the Contract is the later of (1) the Contract Anniversary on which the Annuitant attains Age 90 (or, if there are two Annuitants, the Contract Anniversary on which the older Annuitant attains Age 90) or (2) seven years after the Issue Age. You may select a date after the Date of Issue as the Annuity Date by giving us Written Notice at least 10 days before both the Annuity Date currently in effect and the new Annuity Date. The new date is subject to our approval and any applicable surrender charge. See Charges and Deductions.

 

 

43


Table of Contents

ANNUITY PROVISIONS

 

 

The new Annuity Date will generally not be extended past the Annuity Date stated in the Contract.

 

Annuity Proceeds

 

The annuity proceeds will be the amount provided by the cash surrender value on the Annuity Date. If the Annuity Date occurs within the first seven Contract Years, surrender charges will be deducted from the Accumulated Value if they apply.

 

Unless you direct otherwise, the annuity proceeds will be allocated among the Subaccounts and the Fixed Account according to the ratio that each of the Subaccounts and the Fixed Account bears to the cash surrender value, and any amount of the cash surrender value attributable to a Fixed Period Allocation will be applied to the Fixed Account. You may change the allocation among the Subaccounts or make a transfer to a Fixed Annuity by providing us with Written Notice or notice by telephone (if you have completed the Telephone Transaction Authorization Form). Any change in the allocation will be effective at the end of the Valuation Period that we receive your request, and it will affect the amount of future variable annuity payments.

 

We will pay you the annuity proceeds under a settlement agreement according to the annuity settlement option that you select. However, we will pay the proceeds in a single sum if the Accumulated Value on the Annuity Date is less than $2,000 or if you elect to receive the proceeds in a single sum. If we pay you proceeds in a single sum, your Contract will terminate on the Annuity Date.

 

If you have not selected either a settlement option or a single sum payment by the Annuity Date, we will pay proceeds of $2,000 or more using a variable annuity with (1) life income with 10-year guarantee period if one Annuitant is living on the Annuity Date, or (2) joint and survivor life income with a 10-year guarantee period if two Annuitants are living on the Annuity Date, with either variable annuity based on an assumed investment rate of 3%.

 

Settlement Options

 

You may elect to have proceeds paid to you under an annuity settlement option or a combination of options. Under each option, you may choose whether annuity payments are to be made on a fixed or variable basis or both.

 

The fixed annuity settlement options available to you are described in your Contract but are not summarized here. The variable annuity settlement options that your Contract offers are as follows:

 

  ¨  

Option 3V—Income for a Fixed Period. Under this option, we pay an annuity income for a fixed period up to 30 years or life expectancy, if greater.

 

  ¨  

Option 4V—Life Income with Guaranteed Period. Under this option, we pay an annuity income for the lifetime of the payee. If the payee dies during the guaranteed period, payments will be continued to the end of that period and will be paid to the beneficiary. You may select a guaranteed period of up to 360 months.

 

  ¨  

Option 5V—Joint and Survivor Life Income with Guaranteed Period. Under this option, we pay an annuity income for as long as at least one of two payees is alive. If both payees die during the guaranteed period, payments will be continued to the end of that period and will be paid to the beneficiary. You may select a guaranteed period of up to 360 months.

 

In addition to these settlement options, proceeds may be paid under any other settlement option that you suggest and to which we agree.

 

If we are making payments under a life income settlement option, a payee may elect to receive a lump sum instead of continuing payments under the life income settlement option, unless the life income election was irrevocable. The lump sum payable on any day is the present value of payments remaining in the guaranteed period, based on variable annuity unit

 

 

44


Table of Contents

ANNUITY PROVISIONS

 

 

values on the date the lump sum is elected and the interest rate used to determine the income payable plus 0.25%.

 

If an owner or payee dies on or after the Annuity Date and before all of the annuity proceeds have been paid, we must pay any remaining annuity proceeds under the settlement option at least as rapidly as payments were being paid under that settlement option on the date of death.

 

Frequency of Annuity Payments

 

Annuity payments under a settlement option will be paid at monthly intervals unless you and we agree to a different payment schedule. Payments under any settlement option must be in amounts at least as great as $50. If annuity payments would be or become less than $50, we may change the frequency of payments to intervals that will result in payments of at least $50.

 

Amount of Variable Annuity Payments

 

The amount of the first variable annuity payment is determined by applying the proceeds to be paid to the annuity table in the Contract for the option that you select. The table is based upon an Assumed Investment Rate (“AIR”) and shows the amount of the initial annuity payment for each $1,000 applied. The AIR is the interest rate used to determine the amount of the variable annuity payments. The AIR affects both the amount of the first variable payment and the amount by which subsequent payments increase or decrease. You may select an AIR of 3%, 4%, or 5% when you choose a variable annuity settlement option. If you select an AIR of 5%, you will receive a higher initial payment, but subsequent payments will rise more slowly or fall more rapidly than if you select an AIR of 3% or 4%. If the actual investment experience is equal to the AIR that you choose, your annuity payments will remain level.

 

Subsequent variable annuity payments vary in amount according to the investment experience of the selected Subaccount(s). Assuming annuity payments are based on the unit values of a single Subaccount, the dollar amount of the first annuity payment (as determined above) is divided by the Annuity Unit Value as of the Annuity Date to establish the number of Annuity Units representing each annuity payment. This number of Annuity Units remains fixed during the annuity payment period unless you request a change in the allocation or you have selected a joint and survivor life income settlement option with a reduced payment after the first payee dies. The dollar amount of the second and subsequent variable annuity payments is not predetermined and may change from payment to payment. The dollar amount of the second and each subsequent variable annuity payment is determined by multiplying the fixed number of Annuity Units by the Annuity Unit Value. See Subaccount Annuity Unit Value below. If the payment is based upon the Annuity Unit Values of more than one Subaccount, the procedure described here is repeated for each applicable Subaccount and the sum of the payments based on each Subaccount is the amount of the annuity payment.

 

The annuity table in the Contract is based on the mortality table specified in the Contract. Under that table, the longer the life expectancy of the Annuitant under any life annuity option or the duration of any period for which payments are guaranteed under the option, the smaller will be the amount of the first monthly variable annuity payment. We guarantee that the dollar amount of each fixed and variable annuity payment after the first payment will not be affected by variations in expenses or in mortality experience from the mortality assumptions used to determine the first payment.

 

The Contract contains a formula for adjusting the Age of the Annuitant based on the date when the annuity payments begin for purposes of determining the monthly annuity payments. If the annuity payments begin prior to 2010, there is no age adjustment. If the annuity payments begin during the years 2010 through 2019, the Annuitant’s Age is reduced one year. For each decade thereafter, the Annuitant’s Age is reduced one additional year.

 

An age adjustment results in a reduction in the monthly annuity payments that would otherwise be made.

 

 

45


Table of Contents

ANNUITY PROVISIONS

 

 

Therefore, if the rates we are using are those shown in the annuity tables contained in the Contract, it may be advantageous for you to begin receiving annuity payments on a date that immediately precedes the date on which an age adjustment would occur under the Contract. For example, the annuity payment rates in the annuity tables for an Annuitant who begins receiving annuity payments in the year 2020 are the same as those for annuity payments which begin 12 months earlier, even though the Annuitant is one year older, because the new decade results in the Annuitant’s age being reduced an additional year. Our current annuity rates, unlike the guaranteed rates, do not involve any age adjustment.

 

Subaccount Annuity Unit Value

 

A Subaccount’s Annuity Unit Value is used to determine the dollar value of annuity payments based on Annuity Units of the Subaccount. Annuity Unit Values may increase or decrease during each Valuation Period. We re-determine the Annuity Unit Value for each Subaccount at the end of each Valuation Period. The initial Annuity Unit Value for a Subaccount was equal to the initial Accumulation Unit Value for that Subaccount. At the end of any subsequent Valuation Period, each Subaccount’s Annuity Unit Value is equal to (1) x (2) x (3) where:

 

  (1)   Is that Subaccount’s Annuity Unit Value at the end of the immediately preceding Valuation Period.

 

  (2)   Is that Subaccount’s Net Investment Factor for the current Valuation Period. See Net Investment Factor described earlier in this Prospectus.

 

  (3)   Is a discount factor equivalent to the assumed investment rate.

 

The risk charge assessed against Annuity Unit Values is 1.25%.

 

GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

 

Entire Contract

 

Your entire insurance Contract is comprised of:

 

  ¨  

the Contract including any attached riders, endorsements or amendments;

 

  ¨  

the application attached to the Contract; and

 

  ¨  

the Thrivent Financial Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws which are in effect on the issue date of the Contract.

 

Postponement of Payments

 

We may delay payment of any surrender, death proceeds or annuity payment amounts that are in the Variable Account if:

 

  (1)   The New York Stock Exchange is closed other than customary weekend and holiday closings, or trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted as determined by the SEC, or

 

  (2)   An emergency exists, as determined by the SEC, as a result of which disposal of securities is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable to determine the value of the Variable Account’s net assets.

 

Transfers and allocations of Accumulated Value to and from the Subaccounts of the Variable Account may also be postponed under these circumstances.

 

Purchase Payments

 

Your payment must be in U.S. dollars drawn on a U.S. Bank. Thrivent does not accept cash, starter checks (checks without pre-printed registration), traveler’s checks, credit card courtesy checks or third-party checks. If you pay a premium by check, we require a reasonable time for that check to clear your bank before such funds would be available to you. This period of time will not exceed 15 days.

Table of Contents

GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

 

Date of Receipt

 

Except as otherwise stated herein, the date of our receipt of any Written Notice, premium payment, telephonic instructions or other communication is the actual date it is received at our Service Center in proper form unless received (1) after the close of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time), or (2) on a date which is not a Valuation Day. In either of these two cases, the date of receipt will be deemed to be the next Valuation Day.

 

Anti-Money Laundering

 

In order to protect against the possible misuse of our products in money laundering or terrorist financing, we have adopted an anti-money laundering program satisfying the requirements of federal law. Among other things, this program requires us, our financial representatives and customers to comply with certain procedures and standards that serve to ensure that our customers’ identities are properly verified and that premiums are not derived from improper sources. We reserve the right to verify any information received by accessing information maintained in databases internally or externally.

 

Applicable laws designed to prevent terrorist financing and money laundering might in certain circumstances, require us to block certain transactions until we receive authorization from the appropriate regulator.

 

Our anti-money laundering program is subject to change without notice to account for changes in applicable laws or regulations. We may also make changes as a result of our ongoing assessment of exposure to illegal activity.

 

Maintenance of Solvency

 

This provision applies only to values in the General Account and the MVA Account.

 

If our reserves for any class of contracts become impaired, you may be required to make an extra payment. Our Board of Directors will determine the amount of any extra payment based on each member’s fair share of the deficiency. If the payment is not made, it will be charged as a loan against the Contract with an interest rate of 5% per year. You may choose an equivalent reduction in benefits instead of or in combination with the loan. Any indebtedness and interest charged against the Contract, or any agreement for a reduction in benefits, shall have priority over the interest of any owner, beneficiary, or collateral assignee under the Contract.

 

Reports to Contract Owners

 

At least once each year we will send you a report showing the value of your Contract. The report will include the Accumulated Value and any additional information required by law. Values shown will be for a date no more than two months prior to the date we mail the report. We will mail your report to your last known address unless prior mailings have been returned undeliverable to us. We will make a reasonable effort in these situations to locate you in order to continue mailing your report and other related documents. Please notify the Service Center if your address has changed.

 

State Variations

 

Any state variations in the Contracts are covered in a special policy form for use in that state. This Prospectus provides a general description of the Contracts. Your actual Contract (including the application) and any endorsements, along with our Bylaws, are the controlling documents.

 

Gender Neutral Benefits

 

In 1983, the U.S. Supreme Court held in Arizona Governing Committee v. Norris that the application of sex-distinct actuarial tables to employees based upon their gender in calculating the amount of retirement benefits violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1963. Because of this decision, employer-sponsored retirement plans may not use sex-distinct actuarial annuity rates in determining benefits.

 

 

47


Table of Contents

GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

 

Generally, annuity payments described in this Prospectus are determined using sex-distinct actuarial tables based on the Annuitant’s gender. However, annuity payments will be based on a gender neutral basis for the following:

 

  ¨  

Contracts used in an employer sponsored retirement plan;

 

  ¨  

Contracts issued in Massachusetts (beginning January 1, 2009); and

 

  ¨  

Contracts issued in Montana (beginning October 1, 1985)

You may make inquiries regarding the Contract by writing or calling our Service Center at 1-800-THRIVENT (1-800-847-4836).

 

FEDERAL TAX STATUS

 

 

General

 

The following discussion of the federal income tax treatment of the Contract is not exhaustive, does not purport to cover all situations, and is not intended as tax advice. The federal income tax treatment of the Contract is unclear in certain circumstances, and a qualified tax advisor should always be consulted with regard to the application of law to individual circumstances. This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury Department regulations, and interpretations existing on the date of this Prospectus. These authorities, however, are subject to change by Congress, the Treasury Department, and judicial decisions.

 

This discussion does not address any federal estate or gift tax consequences, or any state or local tax consequences, associated with the Contract. In addition, we make no guarantee regarding any tax treatment— federal, state, or local—of any Contract or any transaction involving a Contract.

 

Tax Status of the Variable Account

 

The Variable Account is not separately taxed as a “regulated investment company” under the Code, but rather is treated as our separate account. Under current law, both the investment income and realized capital gains of the Variable Account (i.e., the income and capital gains distributed to the Variable Account by the Fund) are reinvested without taxation to us. However, we reserve the right in the future to make a charge against the Variable Account or the Accumulated Value of a Contract for any federal, state, or local income taxes that we incur and determine to be attributable to the Variable Account or the Contract.

 

Taxation of Annuities in General

 

The following discussion assumes that the Contract is not used in connection with a Qualified Plan.

 

Tax Deferral During Accumulation Period

 

In general, under current law, an increase in a Contract’s Accumulated Value is not taxable to the Contract Owner until received, either in the form of annuity income payments as contemplated by the Contract or in some other form of distribution. However, this rule applies only if: (1) the investments of the Variable Account are “adequately diversified” in accordance with Treasury Department regulations; (2) the Company, rather than the Contract Owner, is considered the owner of the assets of the Variable Account for federal income tax purposes; (3) the Contract Owner is an individual (or an individual is treated as the Contract Owner for tax purposes); and (4) the Contract’s Annuity Date is not unduly delayed.

 

 

48


Table of Contents

FEDERAL TAX STATUS

 

 

Diversification Requirements. The Code and Treasury Department regulations prescribe the manner in which the investments of a segregated asset account, such as the Variable Account, are to be “adequately diversified.” If the Variable Account fails to comply with these rules, the Contract will not be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes, and so the interest or earnings credited to the Contract’s Accumulated Value in any year will be includible in the Contract Owner’s income that year for federal tax purposes. We expect that the Variable Account, through the Fund, will comply with these rules.

 

Ownership Treatment. In certain circumstances, variable annuity contract owners may be considered the owners, for federal income tax purposes, of the assets of a segregated asset account used to support their contracts. In those circumstances, the account’s income and gains would be currently includible in the contract owners’ gross income. The Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has stated in published rulings that a variable contract owner will be considered the owner of the assets of a segregated asset account if the owner possesses incidents of ownership in those assets, such as the ability to exercise investment control over the assets.

 

The ownership rights under the Contract are similar to, but different in certain respects from, the ownership rights described in IRS rulings in which the contract owners were determined not to be the owners of the assets of a segregated asset account. For example, the Contract Owner has the choice of more investment options to which to allocate premium payments and the Accumulated Value than were addressed in those rulings. These differences could result in the Contract Owner being treated as the owner of all or a portion of the assets of the Variable Account and thus subject to current taxation on the income and gains from those assets. In addition, we do not know what standards will be set forth in any further regulations or rulings which the Treasury Department or the IRS may issue. We therefore reserve the right to modify the Contract as necessary to attempt to prevent Contract Owners from being considered the owners of the assets of the Variable Account. However, there is no assurance that such efforts would be successful.

 

Contracts Not Owned by Individuals. As a general rule, Contracts held by “nonnatural persons” such as a corporation, trust, or other similar entity are not treated as annuity contracts for federal tax purposes. The income on such Contracts (as defined in the tax law) is taxed as ordinary income that is received or accrued by the Contract Owner during the taxable year. However, this rule generally will not apply to a Contract held by a trust or other entity which holds the Contract as an agent for a natural person. In addition, this rule will not apply to: (1) a Contract acquired by the estate of a decedent by reason of the death of the decedent; (2) Contracts used in connection with certain Qualified Plans; (3) Contracts purchased by employers upon the termination of certain Qualified Plans; (4) certain Contracts used in connection with structured settlement agreements; and (5) a Contract purchased with a single premium payment when the annuity starting date is no later than one year from the purchase of the Contract and substantially equal periodic payments are made, not less frequently than annually, during the annuity income period.

 

The remainder of this discussion assumes that the Contract will be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes.

 

Taxation of Partial and Full Surrenders

 

In the case of a partial surrender, the amount received is generally includible in income for federal tax purposes to the extent that the Accumulated Value of the Contract, before the partial surrender, exceeds the “investment in the contract.” In the case of a full surrender, the amount received is includible in income to the extent that it exceeds the investment in the contract. For these purposes, the investment in the contract at any time equals the total of the premium payments made under the Contract up to that time less

FEDERAL TAX STATUS

 

 

any amounts previously received from the Contract which were excludable from income. All amounts includible in income with respect to the Contract are taxed as ordinary income; no amounts are taxed at the lower rates currently applicable to long-term capital gains and corporate dividends.

 

Taxation of Annuity Income Payments

 

Normally, the portion of each annuity income payment includible in income for federal tax purposes is the excess of the payment over an exclusion amount. In the case of variable income payments, this exclusion amount is the investment in the contract (defined above) allocated to the Variable Account when payments begin, adjusted for any period certain or refund feature, divided by the number of payments expected. In the case of fixed income payments, the exclusion amount is determined by multiplying (1) the payment, by (2) the ratio of the investment in the contract allocated to our Fixed Account, adjusted for any period certain or refund feature, to the total expected amount of annuity income payments. For this purpose, the expected number or amount of annuity income payments is determined by Treasury Department regulations which take into account the Annuitant’s life expectancy and the form of annuity benefit selected.

 

Once the total amount of the investment in the contract is excluded using the above formulas, annuity income payments will be fully taxable. If annuity income payments cease because of the death of the Annuitant and before the total amount of the investment in the contract is recovered, the unrecovered amount generally will be allowed as a deduction.

 

There may be special income tax issues present in situations where the Contract Owner and the Annuitant are not the same person and are not married to one another. In such situations a tax advisor should be consulted.

 

Tax Treatment of Death Benefit

 

Prior to the Annuity Date, we may distribute amounts from a Contract because of the death of a Contract Owner or, in certain circumstances, the death of the Annuitant. If distributed in a lump sum, such death benefit proceeds are includible in income in the same manner as a full surrender, or if distributed under an annuity income option, such proceeds are includible in the same manner as annuity income payments.

 

After the Annuity Date, where a guaranteed period exists under a life income option and the Annuitant dies before the end of that period, payments made to the beneficiary for the remainder of that period are includible in income as follows: (1) if received in a lump sum, the payment is includible to the extent that it exceeds the unrecovered investment in the Contract; or (2) if distributed in accordance with the existing annuity income option, they are fully excluded from income until the remaining investment in the Contract is deemed to be recovered, and all payments thereafter are fully includible in income.

 

Assignments, Pledges, and Gratuitous Transfers

 

Any assignment or pledge of (or agreement to assign or pledge) any portion of the Accumulated Value of the Contract is treated for federal income tax purposes as a surrender of such amount or portion. The investment in the contract is increased by the amount includible in income with respect to such an assignment or pledge. If a Contract Owner transfers a Contract without adequate consideration to a person other than the Owner’s spouse (or a former spouse incident to divorce), the Owner must include in income the difference between the Contract’s Accumulated Value and the investment in the contract at the time of the transfer. In such a case, the transferee’s investment in the contract is increased to reflect the amount includible in the transferor’s income.

 

Penalty Tax on Premature Distributions

 

Technically, the amount of any payment from the Contract that is includible in income is subject to a 10% penalty tax. However, this penalty tax does not apply to any payment: (1) received on or after the Contract

Table of Contents

FEDERAL TAX STATUS

 

 

Owner attains age 59 1/2; (2) attributable to the Contract Owner’s becoming disabled (as defined in the tax law); (3) made on or after the death of the Contract Owner or, if the Contract Owner is not an individual, on or after the death of the primary annuitant (as defined in the tax law); (4) that is part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments, not less frequently than annually, for the life or life expectancy of the Contract Owner or the joint lives or joint life expectancies of the Contract Owner and a designated beneficiary (as defined in the tax law); or, (5) made under a Contract purchased with a single premium payment when the annuity starting date is no later than one year from the purchase of the Contract and substantially equal periodic payments are made, not less frequently than annually, during the annuity period. For the purposes of substantially equal periodic payments, if there is a significant modification of the payment schedule before the later of the taxpayer reaching age 59 1/2 or the expiration of five years from the time the payment starts, the taxpayer’s income shall be increased by the amount of tax and deferred interest that otherwise would have been incurred.

 

Special Hurricane-Related Relief for Qualified Plans

 

The Katrina Emergency Tax Relief Act and the Gulf Opportunity Zone Act provide tax relief to victims of Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma. The relief includes a waiver of the 10% penalty tax on qualified hurricane distributions from eligible retirement plans. In addition, the 20% mandatory withholding rules do not apply to these distributions and the tax may be spread out ratably over a three-year period. A recipient of qualified hurricane distribution may also elect to re-contribute all or a portion of the distribution to an eligible retirement plan within three (3) years of receipt without tax consequences. Other relief may also apply. You should consult a competent tax adviser for further information.

 

Aggregation of Contracts

 

In certain circumstances, the IRS may determine the amount of any distribution from the Contract that is includible in income by combining some or all of the annuity contracts a person owns. For example, if a person purchases a Contract and also purchases at approximately the same time an immediate annuity issued by us, the IRS may treat the two contracts as one contract. Similarly, if a person transfers part of his or her interest in one annuity contract to purchase another annuity contract, the IRS might treat the two contracts as one contract. In addition, if a person purchases two or more Contracts from us (or an affiliate) during any calendar year, all such Contracts will be treated as one contract for purposes of determining the amount of any full or partial surrender that is includible in income. The effects of such aggregation are not always clear; however, such aggregation could affect the amount of a surrender or an annuity payment that is taxable and the amount which might be subject to the 10% penalty tax described above.

 

Exchanges of Annuity Contracts

 

We may issue the Contract in exchange for all or part of another annuity contract. Such an exchange will be income tax free if certain requirements are satisfied (a 1035 Exchange). If the exchange is tax free, the investment in the Contract immediately after the exchange will generally be the same as that of the annuity contract exchanged, increased by any additional premium payment made as part of the exchange. If part of an existing contract is exchanged for the Contract, the IRS might treat the two contracts as one annuity contract in certain circumstances. (See “Aggregation of Contracts.”) You should consult your tax advisor in connection with an exchange of all or part of an annuity contract for the Contract.

 

Qualified Plans

 

The Contracts also are designed for use with several types of Qualified Plans. When used in Qualified Plans, deferred annuities like the Contracts do not offer additional tax-deferral benefits, but annuities offer other product benefits to investors in Qualified Plans.

Table of Contents

FEDERAL TAX STATUS

 

 

Participants under such Qualified Plans as well as Contract Owners, Annuitants, and beneficiaries are cautioned that the rights of any person to any benefits under such Qualified Plans may be subject to the terms and conditions of the plans themselves regardless of the terms and conditions of the Contracts issued in connection with them. Those who intend to use the Contract in connection with Qualified Plans should seek competent advice.

 

The tax rules applicable to Qualified Plans, and to a Contract when used in connection with a Qualified Plan, vary according to the type of plan and the terms and conditions of the plan itself, and they take precedence over the general annuity tax rules described above. For example, for full surrenders, partial surrenders, and annuity income payments under Contracts used in Qualified Plans, there may be no “investment in the contract,” with the result that the total amount received may be includible in income. The includible amount is taxed at ordinary income tax rates, and a 10% penalty tax also may apply. Exceptions to this penalty tax vary depending on the type of Qualified Plan involved; in the case of an Individual Retirement Annuity (discussed below), exceptions comparable to those described above are available.

 

The following briefly describes certain types of Qualified Plans in connection with which we may issue a Contract.

 

Individual Retirement Accounts and Annuities. Section 408 of the Code permits eligible individuals to contribute to an Individual Retirement Account or an Individual Retirement Annuity (collectively known as an “IRA”). IRAs are subject to limits on the amounts that may be contributed and deducted, on the persons who may be eligible to do so, and on the time when distributions may commence. Also, subject to certain requirements discussed below, you may “roll over” distributions from certain Qualified Plans on a tax-deferred basis into an IRA.

 

Roth IRAs. Section 408A of the Code permits eligible individuals to contribute to a type of IRA known as a “Roth IRA.” Roth IRAs are generally subject to the same rules as non-Roth IRAs, but differ in several respects. Among the differences is that, although contributions to a Roth IRA are not deductible, “qualified distributions” (those that satisfy certain waiting and use requirements) from a Roth IRA will be excludable from income. Subject to certain restrictions, a distribution from an eligible employer-sponsored qualified plan may be directly rolled over/converted to a Roth IRA.

 

Section 403(b) Plans. Section 403(b) of the Code permits public school employees and employees of certain types of charitable, educational, and scientific organizations to have their employers purchase annuity contracts for them and, subject to certain limitations, to exclude the amount of premium payments from income for federal tax purposes. Subject to plan provisions, distributions from a Contract purchased under section 403(b) may be paid only when the employee reaches age 59 1/2, separates from service, dies, or becomes disabled, or in the case of financial hardship. As a result, the Contract Owner will not be entitled to exercise the surrender rights described under the heading The Contracts—Surrender (Redemption) unless one of the above conditions is satisfied. For contracts maintained pursuant to an employer sponsored 403(b) plan, we may require the employer’s signature to process any requests for withdrawal, surrender, rollover or transfers to another contract.

 

Direct Rollovers

 

If your Contract is purchased under section 403(b) of the Code or is used in connection with certain other Qualified Plans, any “eligible rollover distribution” from the Contract will be subject to direct rollover and mandatory withholding requirements. An eligible rollover distribution generally is any taxable distribution from certain Qualified Plans (including from a Contract purchased under section 403(b)) excluding amounts such as minimum distributions required under the Code. Under these requirements, federal income tax equal to 20% of the eligible rollover distribution will be withheld from the amount of the distribution. Unlike withholding on certain other amounts

 

 

52


Table of Contents

FEDERAL TAX STATUS

 

 

distributed from the Contract, discussed below, the Owner cannot elect out of withholding with respect to an eligible rollover distribution. However, this 20% withholding will not apply if the distribution is directly transferred to certain Qualified Plans.

 

Federal Income Tax Withholding

 

We will withhold and remit to the federal government a part of the taxable portion of each distribution made under a Contract unless the payee notifies us at or before the time of the distribution that he or she elects not to have any amounts withheld. In certain circumstances, we may be required to withhold tax. The withholding rates applicable to the taxable portion of annuity income payments (other than eligible rollover distributions made in connection with Qualified Plans) are the same as the withholding rates generally applicable to payments of wages. Further, a 10% withholding rate applies to the taxable portion of non-periodic payments (including partial and full surrenders), and as discussed above, the withholding rate applicable to eligible rollover distributions is 20%. Whether or not federal income tax is withheld, the Contract Owner (or other applicable taxpayer) remains liable for payment of federal income tax on Contract distributions.

 

VOTING RIGHTS

 

 

To the extent required by law, we will vote the Fund’s shares held in the Variable Account at regular and special shareholder meetings of the Fund in accordance with instructions received from persons having voting interests in the corresponding Subaccounts of the Variable Account. If, however, the 1940 Act or any regulation thereunder should be amended or if the present interpretation thereof should change, and as a result we determine that we are permitted to vote the Fund’s shares in our own right, we may elect to do so.

 

Before the Annuity Date, the Contract Owner shall have the voting interest with respect to Fund’s shares attributable to the Contract. On and after the Annuity Date, the person entitled to receive annuity payments shall have the voting interest with respect to such shares, which voting interest will generally decrease during the annuity period.

 

The number of votes which a Contract Owner or person entitled to receive annuity payments has the right to instruct will be calculated separately for each Subaccount. The number of votes which each Contract Owner has the right to instruct will be determined by dividing a Contract’s Accumulated Value in a Subaccount by the net asset value per share of the corresponding Portfolio in which the Subaccount invests. The number of votes that each person entitled to receive annuity payments has the right to instruct will be determined by dividing the Contract’s reserves in a Subaccount by the net asset value per share of the corresponding Portfolio in which the Subaccount invests. Fractional shares will be counted. The number of votes of the Portfolio which the Contract Owner or person entitled to receive annuity payments has the right to instruct will be determined as of the date coincident with the date established by the Portfolio for determining shareholders eligible to vote at the meeting of the Fund. Voting instructions will be solicited by written communications prior to such meeting in accordance with procedures established by the Fund.

 

Any Portfolio shares held in the Variable Account for which we do not receive timely voting instructions, or

which are not attributable to Contract Owners, will be voted by us in proportion to the instructions received from all Contract Owners. Any Portfolio shares held by us or our affiliates in General Accounts will, for voting

purposes, be allocated to all separate accounts of ours and our affiliates having a voting interest in that Portfolio in proportion to each such separate account’s votes. Voting instructions to abstain on any item to be voted upon will be applied on a pro rata basis to reduce the votes eligible to be cast.

 

Each person having a voting interest in a Subaccount will receive proxy materials, reports and other materials relating to the appropriate Portfolio.

 

SALES AND OTHER AGREEMENTS

 

 

Thrivent Investment Management Inc., 625 Fourth Avenue South, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55415, an indirect subsidiary of Thrivent Financial, is a registered broker-dealer and acts as principal underwriter and distributor of the Contracts pursuant to a distribution agreement with us. Thrivent Investment Management Inc. also acts as the distributor of a number of other variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts we offer.

 

The financial representative in this transaction is a duly licensed registered representative of Thrivent Investment Management Inc. and is also an appointed insurance agent of Thrivent Financial. The financial representative receives commissions and other incentives, which may be substantial, from Thrivent Financial in return for serving as its agent for the sale of the Contracts. This compensation is separate from, and in addition to, any fee you may be paying for investment advisory services including financial planning services, and may vary depending on the size of the Contract purchased, the total number of insurance contracts or annuity contracts sold by the financial representative, and other factors including whether you currently own a product sold by Thrivent Financial or our affiliates. The commissions that the financial representative receives typically will increase as the size of the Contract increases, but will not result in any charge to you in addition to the charges already described in this Prospectus. (Commissions and other incentives are described below.) As a result, the financial representative may have a conflict of interest if he or she is acting as your representative for investment advisory services and acting as an agent of ours for purposes of the sale of the Contract.

 

Our financial representatives sell almost exclusively insurance and annuity products of ours. It is more profitable for us and our affiliates if members purchase products issued by us instead of those issued by other insurance companies. As a result, we typically have a financial interest in the sale of the Contract, and an incentive to recommend that you purchase a contract issued by Thrivent Financial instead of a contract issued by another company. Sales of Thrivent Financial insurance products, which includes variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts, helps support our mission of service to congregations and communities. This gives both the organization and our members an opportunity to promote volunteerism, aid those in need, strengthen non-profit organizations and address critical community needs.

 

In addition, compensation varies by product type. As a result, your financial representative in this transaction may have a financial incentive to recommend that you purchase one product instead of another.

 

From time to time and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, financial representatives are eligible for various incentives. These include cash incentives such as bonuses and sales incentives, and non-cash incentives such as conferences, seminars and trips. Sales of contracts may help the financial

SALES AND OTHER AGREEMENTS

 

 

representative in this transaction and/or his or her supervisors qualify for such incentives. Compensation consists of commissions, bonuses and promotional incentives. Commissions range from 1% to 3.85% of premiums paid into the contract. Commission rates are based upon the age of the annuitant at the time the premium is paid. Your financial representative may receive cash bonuses ranging from 0% to 50% of base commissions, if eligible. Your financial representative may receive asset-based compensation ranging from 0% to 0.15% of Accumulated Value, if eligible.

 

In addition to commissions, we may pay or provide other promotional incentives. If, in the case of a full surrender, we persuade you to retain your Contract instead of surrendering it, your financial representative may be eligible for a retention bonus. Financial representatives may be eligible for promotional incentives depending on the level of their sales of these contracts as well as the other products we offer. These promotional incentives may include, but are not limited to:

 

  ¨  

sponsorship of marketing, educational, compliance meetings and conferences, including subsidy of travel, meal, lodging, entertainment and other expenses related to these meetings;

 

  ¨  

marketing support related to sales of the contract including for example, the creation of marketing materials and advertising; and

 

  ¨  

providing services to contract owners.

 

These promotional incentives or reimbursements may be calculated as a percentage of the financial representative’s total assets attributable to sales of the contract or may be a fixed dollar amount. This additional compensation may provide an incentive for the financial representative to favor the contracts over other products.

 

In addition, our home office employees, as well as our field management personnel who manage our financial representatives, are eligible to receive incentive compensation, based on the amount of sales by the financial representatives of ours and others insurance and annuity products.

 

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

 

There are no legal proceedings to which the Variable Account is a party or to which the assets of the Variable Account are subject. Neither Thrivent Financial nor Thrivent Investment Mgt. is involved in any litigation that is of material importance in relation to their financial condition or that relates to the Variable Account.

APPENDIX B—PRIOR CONTRACT

 

 

We offered a flexible premium deferred variable annuity contract (the “Prior Contract”) (form # W-BB-FPVA) beginning in 2002. The Prior Contract is no longer being issued.

 

Principal Differences

 

The principal differences between the Contract offered by this Prospectus and the Prior Contract relate to the following charges:

 

  ¨  

Surrender Charges

 

  ¨  

Risk Charges

 

  ¨  

Annual administrative charge

 

Other Differences

 

Other differences between the Contract offered by this Prospectus and the Prior Contract relate to the following:

 

  ¨  

The minimum amount that must remain after a partial surrender

 

  ¨  

The restriction on transfers from a Fixed Period Allocation

 

  ¨  

The minimum amount required for the initial premium

 

  ¨  

The interest rate credited for amounts allocated to the Fixed Account when the Contract has an optional death benefit

 

  ¨  

The Return Protection Allocation is offered as an amendment instead of an optional provision of the Contract

 

  ¨  

The Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit is not offered with the Prior Contract

 

Surrender Charges

 

The maximum surrender charge for the Prior Contract is 6% and it applies for six years as follows:

 

Contract Year

   1    2    3    4    5    6

Percent Applied

   6%    5%    4%    3%    2%    1%

 

Risk Charges

 

The current risk charges for the Prior Contract are lower than the Risk Charges for the Contract offered by this Prospectus. The Fee and Expense Tables set forth below list the current and maximum risk charges for the Prior Contract. We may change the current risk charges for the Prior Contract in the future, but we guarantee that they will never exceed the maximum annual rates shown in the Fee and Expense Tables set forth below.

APPENDIX B—PRIOR CONTRACT

 

 

Other Differences

 

Under the Contract covered by this Prospectus, a partial surrender may not reduce the remaining Accumulated Value in the Contract to less than $1,000. Under the Prior Contract, a partial surrender may not reduce the remaining Accumulated Value in the Contract to less than $600.

 

The Contract covered by this Prospectus does not allow transfers from a Fixed Period Allocation. The Prior Contract allows such transfers, which are subject to the Market Value Adjustment.

 

Under the Contract covered by this Prospectus, the initial premium must be at least $5,000 for a Contract that is not issued in connection with a Qualified Plan and $2,000 for a Contract that is issued in connection with a Qualified Plan. Under the Prior Contract, the initial premium must be at least $600 on an annual basis.

 

Under the Contract covered by this Prospectus, the interest rate credited for a Contract with an optional death benefit will be 0.25% lower than the interest amount credited for a contract without any optional death benefits. Under the Prior Contract, the interest rate for amounts credited to the Fixed Account will not be reduced if the contract has an optional death benefit.

 

The Contract covered by this Prospectus offers the Return Protection Allocation as an optional benefit. Under the Prior Contract, the Return Protection Allocation is offered (at different charges) by an amendment to the Prior Contract.

The amounts shown reflect expenses before any applicable expense reimbursement or fee waiver.

Table of Contents

APPENDIX B—PRIOR CONTRACT

 

 

Each Subaccount of the Variable Account purchases shares of the corresponding Fund Portfolio at net asset value. The net asset value reflects the investment advisory fees and other expenses that are deducted from the assets of the Portfolio. The advisory fees and other expenses are not fixed or specified under the terms of the Contract, and they may vary from year to year. More detail concerning the fees and expenses of the Portfolios is contained in the prospectus for the Fund.

 

If a Portfolio is structured as a “fund of funds,” total gross annual Portfolio expenses also include the fees associated with the Portfolios in which it invests. Because of this a Portfolio that is structured as a “fund of funds” may have higher fees and expenses than a Portfolio that invests directly in debt and equity securities. For a list of the “fund of funds” Portfolios available through the Contract, see the chart of portfolios available in the prospectus for the Fund.

 

Examples

 

The following examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Prior Contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include Contract Owner transaction expenses, Contract fees, separate account annual expenses, and Portfolio fees and expenses. The following two examples assume that you invest $10,000 in the Prior Contract for the time periods indicated and that your investment has a 5% return each year and assumes both the minimum and the maximum fees and expenses of the Portfolios. Example 1 shows a Contract with a combination of features and portfolio ranges that yield the most expensive total cost. Example 2 shows the cost of a Contract with the most expensive optional feature. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

For more information, See Charges and Deductions in this prospectus and the prospectus for the Fund.

 

Notes to Fee and Expense Tables:

1 In each Contract Year, you may surrender without a surrender charge up to 10% of the Accumulated Value existing at the time the first surrender is made in a Contract Year; only the amount in excess of that amount (the “Excess Amount”) will be subject to a surrender charge. A surrender charge is deducted if a full or partial surrender occurs during the first six Contract Years. The surrender charge is 6% during the first Contract Year and decreases by 1% each subsequent Contract Year. No surrender charge is deducted for surrenders occurring in Contract Years 7 and later. The surrender charge also will be deducted if the annuity payments begin during the fist three Contract Years, except under certain circumstances as described in Surrender Charge (Contingent Deferred Sales Charge).

2 You are allowed 12 free transfers per Contract Year. Subsequent transfers (other than the Dollar Cost Averaging and Asset Rebalancing Programs) will incur a $25 transfer charge.

3 The table shows the current and maximum risk charges for the Prior Contract. On or after the Annuity Date, the risk charge will be 1.25%. See Charges and Deductions—Risk Charge. The risk charge for a Prior Contract pending payout due to a death claim is based on the average daily net assets of the Variable Account and is equal to an annual rate of 0.95%.

4 The maximum total separate account expenses occur when both the MADB and RPA are selected as optional benefits.

5 If a payee under a settlement option elects to receive a lump sum instead of continuing payments, we will pay the commuted value of the future payments for the remaining guaranteed period. The commuted value is determined by using an interest rate that is 0.25% more than the interest rate used to determine the annuity payments.

6 Thrivent Financial has agreed to reimburse certain expenses other than the advisory fees for certain of the Portfolios. After taking these contractual and voluntary arrangements into account, the range (minimum and maximum) of total operating expenses charged by the Portfolios would have been 0.36% to 1.50%. The reimbursements may be discontinued at any time. The amounts are based on the arithmetic average of expenses paid in the year ended December 31, 2008, for all of the available Portfolios, adjusted to reflect anticipated changes in fees and expenses. With respect to new Portfolios, amounts are based on estimates for the current fiscal year.

7 For this example, the following assumptions are used: 0.45% optional benefit charge, 1.25% mortality and expense risk charge, and portfolio operating expenses ranging from 0.39% to 2.80%.

8 For this example, the following assumptions are used: 0.85% optional benefit charge, 1.25% mortality and expense risk charge, and portfolio operating expenses ranging from 0.73% to 0.83%.

INTRODUCTION

The Contract is issued by Thrivent Financial. Thrivent Financial, a fraternal benefit society owned and operated for its members, was organized under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(8) and established in 1902 under the laws of the State of Wisconsin. Thrivent Financial is currently licensed to transact life insurance business in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The Contract may be sold to or in connection with retirement plans that may or may not qualify for special federal tax treatment under the Internal Revenue Code. Annuity payments under the Contract are deferred until a selected later date.

Premiums will be allocated, as designated by the Contract Owner, to one or more Subaccounts of the Variable Account (a separate account of Thrivent Financial), Fixed Period Allocations, or to the Fixed Account. The assets of each Subaccount will be invested solely in a corresponding Portfolio of Thrivent Series Fund, Inc. (a “Fund”), which is an open-end management investment company (commonly known as a “mutual fund”). The prospectus for the Fund that accompanies the Prospectus describe the investment objectives and attendant risks of the Portfolios of the Fund.

Additional Subaccounts (together with the related additional Portfolios) may be added in the future. The Accumulated Value of the Contract and, except to the extent fixed amount annuity payments are elected by the Contract Owner, the amount of annuity payments will vary, primarily based on the investment experience of the Portfolios whose shares are held in the Subaccounts designated. Premiums allocated to Fixed Period Allocations or the Fixed Account will accumulate at fixed rates of interest declared by Thrivent Financial.

PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER

Thrivent Investment Management Inc. (“Thrivent Investment Mgt.”), an indirect subsidiary of Thrivent Financial, acts as the principal underwriter of the Contracts pursuant to a Distribution Agreement to which Thrivent Financial and the Variable Account are also parties. The Contracts are sold through Thrivent Financial representatives who are licensed by state insurance officials to sell the Contracts. These representatives are also registered representatives of Thrivent Investment Mgt. The Contracts are offered in all states where Thrivent Financial is authorized to sell variable annuities.

The offering of the Contracts is continuous.

From time to time, Thrivent Financial may offer to exchange old contracts offered by Thrivent Financial, Thrivent Life Insurance Company, AAL or Lutheran Brotherhood for the Contract offered in this Prospectus. No surrender charge will apply upon an exchange of Contracts pursuant to this exchange offer. In addition, as part of the exchange offer, the New Contracts will be deemed to have been issued on the same issue date as the Current Contract for purposes of computing the applicable surrender charge.

Thrivent Financial paid underwriting commissions for the last three fiscal years as shown below. Of these amounts, Thrivent Investment Mgmt. retained $0.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors

Thrivent Financial for Lutherans

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans (“Thrivent Financial”) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, members’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of Thrivent Financial’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of Thrivent Financial’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Thrivent Financial at December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Thrivent Financial for Lutherans

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006

Note 1. Nature of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

Thrivent Financial for Lutherans (“Thrivent Financial”) is a fraternal benefit society providing to its members life insurance and retirement products, disability income and long-term care insurance as well as Medicare supplement insurance. Thrivent Financial is licensed to conduct business throughout the United States and distributes its products to its members through a network of career financial representatives. Thrivent Financial also offers its members additional related financial products and services, such as investment funds and banking and trust services, through its subsidiaries and affiliates.

Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Thrivent Financial and its wholly owned subsidiaries and affiliated entities that are subject to consolidation, which include a stock life insurance company, a broker-dealer, a registered investment advisor, a bank, certain investment funds, a real estate development company, a transfer agent and a property and casualty insurance agency. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The significant accounting practices used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements are summarized as follows:

Investments

Fixed maturity securities:  Investments in fixed maturity securities are classified as either available for sale or as trading, and are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on securities within the available-for-sale portfolio are included as a component of other comprehensive income, while the change in fair value on securities within the trading portfolio are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of realized investment gains and losses. Discounts or premiums on fixed maturity securities are amortized over the term of the securities using the effective interest method.

Equity securities:  Investments in equity securities are classified as available for sale and carried at fair value.

Mortgage loans:  Mortgage loans are generally stated at their unpaid principal balances, adjusted for premium and discount amortization and an allowance for uncollectible balances. Discounts or premiums are amortized over the term of the loans using the effective interest method.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

Note 1. Nature of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies, continued

Investments, continued

 

Contract loans:  Contract loans are generally carried at their aggregate unpaid balances.

Short-term investments:  Short-term investments are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Short-term investments consist primarily of collateral on loaned securities (which is invested in an affiliated money market mutual fund), short-term government securities and corporate notes. Short-term investments have contractual maturities of 12 months or less at the time of acquisition.

Other investments:  Other investments consist primarily of equity limited partnerships, real estate joint ventures, derivative instruments and real estate. Real estate joint ventures and equity limited partnerships are valued using both the equity method and internal valuation models. Derivatives are carried at fair market value. Real estate is valued at cost plus capital expenditures less accumulated depreciation.

Loaned securities:  Securities loaned under Thrivent Financial’s securities lending agreement are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Thrivent Financial generally receives cash collateral in an amount that is in excess of the market value of the securities loaned, and the cash collateral is invested in a segregated affiliated money market mutual fund included in short-term investments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. An obligation is also recognized for the amount of the collateral and is included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Market values of securities loaned and collateral are monitored daily, and additional collateral is obtained as necessary.

Mortgage dollar roll program:  Thrivent Financial uses a mortgage dollar roll program to enhance the yield on its mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”). MBS dollar rolls are similar to repurchase agreements, whereby Thrivent Financial sells a mortgage-backed security and subsequently enters into a commitment to purchase another security at a specified later date. Thrivent Financial’s mortgage dollar roll program generally includes a series of MBS dollar rolls extending for more than a year. Thrivent Financial had $337 million and $639 million in the mortgage dollar roll program outstanding as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Unrealized investment gains and losses:  Unrealized investment gains and losses on securities classified as available for sale, net of related deferred acquisition costs and tax effects, are accounted for as a direct increase or decrease to the accumulated other comprehensive income component of members’ equity.

Realized investment gains and losses:  Realized investment gains and losses on sales of securities are determined using an average cost method. Changes in fair value of fixed maturity securities within the trading portfolio are included as a component of realized investment gains and losses. Thrivent Financial periodically reviews its securities portfolios and evaluates those securities where the current fair value is less than amortized cost for indicators that the decline in value is other-than-temporary. Factors considered in the evaluation include the following: 1) Thrivent Financial’s ability to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the debt security; 2) the financial condition of the issuer; 3) the near-term prospects of the issuer; 4) the length of time of the impairment; 5) the extent of the impairment; 6) Thrivent Financial’s ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in the market; 7) Thrivent Financial’s intent to retain its investment in the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in the market. Investments that are determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired are written down to fair value, and the write-down is included in realized investment gains and losses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Changes in the allowances for mortgage loans and real estate are also included with realized investment gains and losses.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and include all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less.

Deferred Acquisition Costs

Costs which vary with and are primarily attributable to the production of new and renewal business have been deferred to the extent such costs are deemed recoverable from future profits. Such costs include commissions, selling, selection and contract issue expenses.

For interest-sensitive life, participating life and investment products, these costs are amortized in proportion to estimated margins from interest, mortality and other factors under the contracts. Assumptions used in the amortization of deferred acquisition costs are periodically reviewed and updated as necessary to reflect actual experience. The impact of changes in assumptions is recognized as a component of amortization.

Amortization of acquisition costs for other contracts is charged to expense in proportion to premium revenue recognized.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is determined primarily using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 years for computer hardware and software to 40 years for buildings.

Separate Accounts

Separate account assets and liabilities reported in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets represent funds that are separately administered for variable annuity, variable immediate annuity and variable universal life contracts, and for which the contractholder, rather than Thrivent Financial, bears the investment risk. Fees charged on separate account contractholder deposits are recognized when due. Separate account assets are carried at fair value based on quoted market prices. Operating results of the separate accounts are not included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. While separate account liability values are not guaranteed, the variable annuity products in the separate accounts include guaranteed minimum death and living benefits. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, reserves totaling $133 million and $13 million, respectively, for these benefits have been recognized.

Contract Liabilities and Accruals

Reserves for future contract benefits for participating life insurance are net level reserves computed using the same interest and mortality assumptions as used to compute cash values.

Reserves for future contract benefits for nonparticipating life insurance are also net level reserves, computed using realistic assumptions as to mortality, interest and withdrawal, with a provision for adverse deviation.

Reserves for health contracts are generally computed using current pricing assumptions. For Medicare supplement, disability income and long-term care contracts, reserves are computed on a net level basis using realistic assumptions, with provision for adverse deviation.

Contract Liabilities and Accruals, continued

 

Claim reserves are established for future payments not yet due on claims already incurred, reported or unreported, relating primarily to health contracts. These reserves are based on past experience and applicable morbidity tables.

Contractholder Funds

Reserves for future contract benefits for universal life insurance and deferred annuities consist of contract account balances before applicable surrender charges with additional reserves for any death benefits that may exceed contract account balances.

Insurance Revenues and Benefits

For life and some annuity contracts other than universal life or investment contracts, premiums are recognized as revenues over the premium paying period, with reserves for future benefits established on a prorated basis from such premiums.

Revenues for universal life and investment contracts consist of policy charges for the cost of insurance, policy administration and surrender charges assessed during the period. Expenses include interest credited to contract account balances and benefits incurred in excess of contract account balances. Certain profits on limited payment contracts are deferred and recognized over the contract term.

For health contracts, gross premiums are prorated over the contract term of the contracts with the unearned premium included in the contract reserves.

Other Revenue

Other revenue consists primarily of fees earned from investment advisory services performed for the Thrivent family of mutual funds and variable product investment funds.

Dividends to Members

Thrivent Financial’s insurance products are participating in nature. Dividends to members for these policies are recognized over the contract year and are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The majority of life insurance contracts, except for universal life and term contracts, begin to receive dividends at the end of the second contract year. Dividends are not currently being paid on most interest-sensitive and health insurance contracts. Dividend scales are approved annually by Thrivent Financial’s Board of Directors.

Fraternal Benefits and Expenses

Fraternal benefits and expenses include all fraternal activities as well as expenses incurred to provide or administer fraternal benefits, and expenses related to Thrivent Financial’s fraternal character. This includes items such as benevolences to help meet the needs of people, educational benefits to raise community and family awareness of issues, church grants and costs necessary to maintain Thrivent Financial’s fraternal branch system. Thrivent Financial conducts its fraternal activities primarily through its chapter system, which is made up of approximately 1,400 chapters, whose members participate in locally sponsored charitable activities.

Income Taxes

Thrivent Financial, as a fraternal benefit society, qualifies as a tax-exempt organization under the Internal Revenue Code. Thrivent Financial’s subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. The federal income tax provision is based upon amounts estimated to be currently payable and deferred income taxes resulting from temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted income tax rates and laws.

Income tax expense recorded by Thrivent Financial’s subsidiaries for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 totaled $6 million, $12 million and $10 million, respectively. This tax expense is included as a component of underwriting, acquisition and insurance expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Thrivent Financial’s subsidiaries had a net deferred tax asset of $4 million as of December 31, 2008 and a net deferred tax liability of $22 million as of December 31, 2007.

New Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, (SFAS No. 157). This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Under this standard fair value is based on an exit price model, whereby value is determined based on a price that would be paid or received to settle a financial instrument. Thrivent Financial adopted the provisions of this standard as of January 1, 2008 and the adoption did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No.109 (“FIN 48”). This statement clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Thrivent Financial adopted FIN 48 during 2007, and the adoption did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R). This statement requires: (a) recognition of an asset for the funded status, measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligation, of defined benefit postretirement plans that are overfunded and a liability for plans that are underfunded, measured as of the employer’s fiscal year end; and (b) recognition of changes in the funded status of defined benefit postretirement plans, other than for the net periodic benefit cost included in net income, in accumulated other comprehensive income. Thrivent Financial adopted SFAS No. 158 during 2007 and the adoption did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In September 2005, the AICPA issued Statement of Position (“SOP”) 05-1, Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for Deferred Acquisition Costs (“DAC”) in Connection with Modifications or Exchanges of Insurance Contracts. SOP 05-1 provides guidance on accounting by insurance enterprises for DAC on internal replacements of insurance and investment contracts. Thrivent Financial adopted SOP 05-1 during 2007, and the adoption did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Positions (“FSP”) FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments. This FSP provides additional guidance for evaluating impaired securities for indicators on an impairment that is other than temporary. Thrivent Financial adopted FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1 during 2006, and the adoption did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Aging of Unrealized Losses, continued

 

As of December 31, 2008, gross unrealized losses on equity securities totaled $344 million comprising 651 issuers. Of this amount, $52 million, comprised of 21 issuers, was in the greater-than-twelve-month category.

Thrivent Financial performs periodic evaluations of its securities in accordance with its impairment policy in order to determine whether such securities are other-than-temporarily impaired. This review includes an evaluation of each security issuer’s creditworthiness such as its ability to generate operating cash flow and remain current on all debt obligations as well as any changes in its credit ratings from third party agencies. Thrivent Financial also evaluates the severity and duration of any decline in fair value as another indicator of other-than-temporary impairment. Thrivent Financial takes into consideration the current market environment, near-term and long-term asset liability management strategies and target allocation strategies for various asset classes in evaluating the potential need to sell securities that are in an unrealized loss position but where there are no other indications of other-than-temporary impairment. Generally, Thrivent Financial has the ability and intent to hold securities in an unrealized loss position for a period of time sufficient for the security to recover in value, however, if a significant change in the capital markets occurs that affects the overall risk profile of its investment strategies, Thrivent Financial may need to update its assessment of its investment holdings. If in response to changed conditions in the capital markets, Thrivent Financial decides to sell a security in an unrealized loss position, a realized loss is recognized in the period that the decision is made to sell that security.

Based on Thrivent Financial’s current evaluation of its securities in accordance with its impairment policy, a determination was made that the securities summarized above are not other-than-temporarily impaired.

Mortgage Loans

Thrivent Financial invests in mortgage loans, principally involving commercial real estate. Such investments consist of first mortgage liens on completed income-producing properties.

Mortgage Loans, continued

 

During 2007, Thrivent Financial updated its methodology for determining its allowance for credit losses. The risk factors associated with various classifications of mortgage loans were revised to reflect more current experience. This change in estimate resulted in a reduction of the allowance of approximately $29 million.

Thrivent Financial does not accrue interest income on impaired mortgage loans; rather, income is recognized for these loans when received. A mortgage loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that Thrivent Financial will be unable to collect all principal and interest amounts due according to the contractual terms of the mortgage agreement. Interest income recognized on impaired mortgage loans totaled $0.6 million, $0.1 million and $0.1 million during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Thrivent Financial uses derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business to manage investment risks, to reduce interest rate and duration imbalances determined in asset/liability analyses and to offset risks associated with the guaranteed living benefit features of certain variable annuity products. Thrivent Financial does not use hedge accounting treatment for any of its derivative financial instruments.

Foreign Currency Swaps

Thrivent Financial utilizes foreign currency swaps to manage the risk associated with changes in the exchange rate of Canadian, Australian and Euro denominated securities. The swaps convert a stream of Canadian dollar, Australian dollar or Euro payments to U.S. dollar payments. The swaps are valued at market value at each reporting period, and the change in the market value is recognized in earnings. No cash is exchanged at the outset of the swaps, and interest payments received are recorded as a component of net investment income.

Total Rate of Return Swaps

Thrivent Financial utilizes total rate of return swaps to enhance the return on pools of collateralized mortgage-backed securities. The swap contracts are generally three months in duration and are valued at market value at each reporting period with the change in market value recognized in earnings. No cash is exchanged at the outset of the swap, and payments on the swap are exchanged monthly and recorded as a component of net investment income.

Futures

Thrivent Financial utilizes futures contracts to manage a portion of the risks associated with the guaranteed living benefit features of certain variable annuity products. Cash paid for the future contract is recorded in other investments. The future contracts are valued at market value at each reporting period, and the change in the market value is recognized in earnings.

Covered Written Call Options

Thrivent Financial sells covered written call option contracts to enhance the return on residential mortgage-backed “to be announced” collateral which it owns. The premium received for these call options is recorded as a liability at market value at each reporting period with the change in market value recognized in earnings. All positions in these contracts are settled at month end. Upon disposition of the options, the gains are recorded as a component of net investment income. During the years ended 2008, 2007 and 2006, $8 million, $14 million and $11 million, respectively, was received in call premium.

Convertible Bonds and Preferred Stocks

Thrivent Financial owns bonds and preferred stocks with convertible options, which are recorded as embedded derivatives. The securities are bifurcated with the option value recorded in other investments. These embedded derivatives are valued at market value at each reporting period, and the change in market value is recognized in earnings.

Note 5. Benefit Plans

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits

Thrivent Financial has a qualified noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan which provides benefits to substantially all home office and field employees upon retirement.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits, continued

 

As of December 31, 2008, the accumulated benefit obligation of the retirement plan exceeded the fair value of the assets and as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the other benefit plans exceeded the fair value of the assets. As a result, a benefit obligation liability was included in other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2007, the fair value of Thrivent Financial’s retirement plan assets exceeded the accumulated benefit obligation of the plan. As a result, a prepaid pension asset was included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Thrivent Financial periodically evaluates the long-term earned rate assumption taking into consideration historical performance of the plan’s assets as well as current asset diversification and investment strategy in determining the rate of return assumption used in calculating the plan’s benefit expenses and obligation.

 

     Retirement Plan     Other Benefits  
     2008     2007     2008     2007  

Weighted average assumptions at end of year:

        

Discount rate

   6.85 %   6.25 %   6.85 %   6.25 %

Expected return on plan assets

   8.50     8.50     n/a     n/a  

Rate of compensation increase

   4.35     3.75     n/a     n/a  

The assumed health care cost trend rate used in measuring the postretirement health care benefit obligation was 8% for pre-65 and 9% for post-65 in 2009, trending down to 5% in 2014. The assumed health care cost trend rates can have a significant impact on the amounts reported. For example, a one-percentage point increase in the rate would increase the 2008 total service and interest cost by $1 million and the postretirement health care benefit obligation by $14 million. The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the Act) includes a federal subsidy to sponsors of retirement health care plans that provide a prescription benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. This subsidy has been taken into consideration in the calculation the net periodic postretirement benefit costs and the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation.

Estimated benefit payments for the next five years are as follows: 2009 — $42 million; 2010 — $44 million; 2011 — $46 million; 2012 — $48 million; 2013 — $50 million; and 2014 to 2018 — $287 million.

The assets of Thrivent Financial’s qualified defined benefit plan are held in trust. Thrivent Financial has a benefit plan advisory committee that sets investment guidelines, which are established based on market conditions, risk tolerance, funding requirements and expected benefit payments. A third party oversees the investment allocation process and monitors asset performance. As pension liabilities are long-term in nature, Thrivent Financial employs a long-term total return approach to maximize the long-term rate of return on plan assets for a prudent level of risk.

The investment portfolio contains a diversified portfolio of investment categories, including equities and fixed income securities. Securities are also diversified in terms of domestic and international securities, short- and long-term securities, growth and value styles, large cap and small cap stocks, active and passive management and derivative-based styles. With prudent risk tolerance and asset diversification, the plan is expected to meet its pension obligations in the future.

Defined Contribution Plans

Thrivent Financial also provides contributory and noncontributory defined contribution retirement benefits, which cover substantially all home office and field employees. Eligible participants in the 401(k) plan may elect to contribute a percentage of their eligible earnings, and Thrivent Financial will match participant contributions up to 6% of eligible earnings. In addition, Thrivent Financial will contribute a percentage of eligible earnings for participants in a noncontributory plan for field employees.

For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, Thrivent Financial contributed $24 million, $21 million and $21 million, respectively, to these plans.

As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, $115 million and $118 million, respectively, of the assets of the defined contribution plans were invested in a deposit administration contract issued by Thrivent Financial.

Note 6. Claims Liabilities, continued

 

Thrivent Financial uses estimates for determining its liability for accident and health, long-term care and disability benefits, which are based on historical claim payment patterns, and attempts to provide for potential adverse changes in claim patterns and severity. Thrivent Financial annually reviews the claim payment experience to evaluate the methodology and assumptions that are used in determining its estimate of ultimate claims experience. Differences between anticipated claims and actual claims can result in adjustments to liabilities in each year.

Note 7. Reinsurance

Thrivent Financial participates in reinsurance in order to limit its maximum losses and to diversify its exposures. Life and accident and health reinsurance is accomplished through various plans of reinsurance, primarily coinsurance and yearly renewable term. Ceded balances would represent a liability of Thrivent Financial in the event the reinsurers were unable to meet their obligations under the terms of the reinsurance agreements.

Reinsurance premiums, commissions, expense reimbursements, benefits and reserves related to reinsured long-duration contracts are accounted for over the life of the underlying reinsured contracts using assumptions consistent with those used to account for the underlying contracts. The cost of reinsurance related to short-duration contracts is accounted for over the reinsurance contract period. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the claim liabilities and policy benefits associated with the reinsured policies.

Reinsurance amounts included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31 were as follows (in millions):

 

     2008     2007     2006  

Direct premiums

   $ 1,407     $ 1,363     $ 1,296  

Reinsurance ceded

     (52 )     (46 )     (40 )
                        

Net premiums

   $ 1,355     $ 1,317     $ 1,256  
                        

Direct contract charges

   $ 1,302     $ 1,236     $ 1,181  

Reinsurance ceded

     (32 )     (18 )     (14 )
                        

Net contract charges

   $ 1,270     $ 1,218     $ 1,167  
                        

Reinsurance recoveries

   $ 7     $ 7     $ 6  
                        

Reinsurance contracts do not relieve an insurer from its primary obligation to policyholders. Reinsurance recoverables on life and accident and health claims included in receivables in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $139 million and $135 million, respectively.

Four reinsurance companies account for approximately 96% of the reinsurance recoverable at December 31, 2008. Thrivent Financial periodically reviews the financial condition of its reinsurers and amounts recoverable in order to evaluate the financial strength of the companies supporting the recoverable balances.

Note 8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Carried at Fair Value

In estimating the fair values for financial instruments carried at fair value, the amount of observable and unobservable inputs used to determine fair value are taken into consideration. Each of the financial instruments have been classified into one of three categories based on that evaluation:

 

Level 1:   Fair value based on quoted prices for identical assets in active markets that are accessible.
Level 2:   Fair value based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets that are accessible; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations where the significant value driver inputs are observable.
Level 3:   Fair value based on significant value driver inputs that are not observable.

Fixed Maturity Securities

Fair values for fixed maturity securities are primarily based on quoted market prices in active markets where available, or are estimated using values obtained from independent pricing services which utilize market standard methodologies based on market observable inputs.

Equity Securities

The fair values for investments in equity securities are primarily based on quoted market prices in active markets.

Other Investments

Other investments primarily include derivatives and private equity investments. The fair values of futures and equity options are the closing price of their actively traded exchanges. Bond options and swaps have fair values derived from broker quotes that rely on both observable and unobservable inputs. The fair values of private equity investments are valued primarily using internal valuation methodologies designed for specific asset classes.

Separate Account Assets

The fair values for separate account assets are based on quoted market prices in active markets.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value

The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments not carried at fair value.

Mortgage Loans

The fair values for mortgage loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on interest rates currently being offered for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings. Loans with similar characteristics are aggregated for purposes of the calculations.

Contract Loans

The carrying amounts for these instruments approximate their fair values.

Short-Term Investments

The carrying amounts for these instruments approximate their fair values.

Other Investments

Other investments not carried at fair value include primarily investments in real estate and real estate joint ventures. The fair values are valued primarily using various market valuation techiniques.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The carrying amounts for these instruments approximate their fair values.

Policyholder account balances

The fair values for investment-type contracts, such as deferred annuities, liabilities related to separate account liabilities, supplementary contracts without life contingencies, deferred income settlement options and refunds on deposit, are estimated to be the cash surrender value payable upon immediate withdrawal.

Liabilities Related to Separate Accounts

The carrying amounts for these instruments reflect the amounts in the separate account assets and approximate their fair values.

Other Liabilities

The fair values for deposit type liabilities, such as interest-bearing withdrawal accounts and fixed-rate certificates of deposit, are based on current market interest rates offered for these products.

The results of the valuation methods presented in this footnote are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows. As a result, the derived fair value estimates, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the financial instrument. These fair values are for certain financial instruments of Thrivent Financial; accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of Thrivent Financial.

Financial Instruments

Thrivent Financial is a party to financial instruments with on and off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate equity price or liquidity risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Thrivent Financial’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and financial guarantees is limited to the contractual amount of these instruments.

Commitments to Extend Credit

Thrivent Financial has commitments to extend credit for mortgage loans, church loans and other lines of credit at market interest rates in the amount of $142 million and $1,151 million as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Commitments to purchase other invested assets were $1,502 million and $1,073 million as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Financial Guarantees

Thrivent Financial has entered into an agreement to purchase certain debt obligations of a third party civic organization, totaling $37 million, in the event certain conditions as defined in the agreement occur. This agreement is secured by the assets of the third party.

Leases

Thrivent Financial has operating leases for certain office equipment and real estate. Rental expense for these items totaled $9 million, $13 million and $8 million for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Future minimum aggregate rental commitments as of December 31, 2008 for operating leases were as follows: 2009 — $5 million; 2010 — $5 million; 2011 — $3 million; 2012 — $2 million; and 2013 — $1 million.

Fraternal Commitment

Thrivent Financial’s commitment to Habitat for Humanity to help build additional homes, which began in 2006, is expected to provide funding of approximately $125 million over a four-year period as certain milestones are achieved. Thrivent Financial has funded approximately $32 million, $30 million and $26 million of this commitment during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Fixed Maturity Securities

For statutory purposes, investments in fixed maturity securities are reported at amortized cost.

Acquisition Costs

Costs incurred to acquire new business are charged to operations as incurred.

Contract Liabilities

Liabilities for future contract benefits and expenses are determined using statutorily prescribed rates for mortality and interest.

Non-Admitted Assets

Certain assets, primarily furniture, equipment and agents’ debit balances, are charged directly to members’ equity and excluded from the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Interest Maintenance Reserve

Certain realized investment gains and losses for fixed maturity securities sold prior to their maturity are deferred and amortized into operating results over the remaining maturity of the sold security.

Asset Valuation Reserve

A reserve, charged directly to members’ equity, is maintained based on certain risk factors applied to invested asset classes.

Premiums and Withdrawals

Funds deposited and withdrawn on universal life and investment-type contracts are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Consolidation

Subsidiaries are not consolidated into the statutory results; rather, the equity method of accounting for the ownership of subsidiaries is used, with the change in the value of the subsidiaries reflected as a direct adjustment of members’ equity.

Summarized statutory-basis financial information as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 for Thrivent Financial is as follows (in millions):

Thrivent Financial for Lutherans

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the individual subaccounts of Thrivent Variable Annuity Account I (the Account) (comprising, respectively, the Aggressive Allocation, Moderately Aggressive Allocation, Moderate Allocation, Moderately Conservative Allocation, Technology, Partner Healthcare, Partner Natural Resources, Partner Emerging Markets, Real Estate Securities, Partner Utilities, Partner Small Cap Growth, Partner Small Cap Value, Small Cap Stock, Small Cap Index, Mid Cap Growth II, Mid Cap Growth, Partner Mid Cap Value, Mid Cap Stock, Mid Cap Index, Partner Worldwide Allocation, Partner International Stock, Partner Socially Responsible Stock, Partner All Cap Growth, Partner All Cap Value, Partner All Cap, Large Cap Growth II, Large Cap Growth, Partner Growth Stock, Large Cap Value, Large Cap Stock, Large Cap Index, Equity Income Plus, Balanced, High Yield, Diversified Income Plus, Partner Socially Responsible Bond, Income, Bond Index, Limited Maturity Bond, Mortgage Securities, and Money Market subaccounts), as of December 31, 2008, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets for the periods indicated therein. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Account’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Account’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Account’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2008, by correspondence with the affiliated transfer agent. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective subaccounts constituting the Thrivent Variable Annuity Account I at December 31, 2008, and the results of their operations and changes in their net assets for the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as diversified open-end investment companies.

The Variable Account is used to fund flexible premium deferred variable annuity contracts issued by Thrivent Financial. Under applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities of the Variable Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the other assets and liabilities of Thrivent Financial. The assets of the Variable Account will not be charged with any liabilities arising out of any other business conducted by the insurance operations of Thrivent Financial.

A fixed account investment option is available for contract owners of the flexible premium deferred variable annuity. Assets of the fixed account are combined with the general assets of Thrivent Financial and invested by Thrivent Financial as allowed by applicable law. Accordingly, the fixed account assets are not included in the Variable Account financial statements.

(2) Significant Accounting Policies

Valuation of Investments

The investments in shares of the Funds are stated at fair value which is the closing net asset value per share as determined by the Fund. The cost of shares sold and redeemed is determined on the average cost method. Dividend distributions received from the Fund are reinvested in additional shares of the Fund and recorded as income by the Variable Account on the ex-dividend date.

Federal Income Taxes

Thrivent Financial qualifies as a tax-exempt organization under the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been charged against the Variable Account. Thrivent Financial reserves the right to charge for taxes in the future should Thrivent Financial’s tax status change.

Annuity Reserves

Contracts that are no longer in the accumulation phase are considered to be in a payout phase and Thrivent Financial accounts for the two types of phases separately so that reserves can be set aside for the contracts in payout.

Death Claims

Amounts payable under the contract for death benefits remain invested in the separate accounts until the beneficiaries provide instructions to disburse the benefits. Prior to October 2005, amounts payable for death benefits were transferred to the general account upon election of the first beneficiary, pending instructions from the other beneficiaries for disbursement.

(2) Significant Accounting Policies, continued

 

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, (SFAS No. 157). This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Under this standard fair value is based on an exit price model, whereby value is determined based on a price that would be paid or received to settle a financial instrument. Thrivent Financial adopted the provisions of this standard as of January 1, 2008 and the adoption did not have a significant impact on their financial statements.

In estimating the fair values for financial instruments carried at fair value, the amount of observable and unobservable inputs used to determine fair value are taken into consideration. Each of the financial instruments have been classified into one of three categories based on that evaluation:

Level 1: Fair value based on quoted prices for identical assets in active markets that are accessible.

 

Level 2: Fair value based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets that are accessible, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations where the significant value driver inputs are observable.

Level 3: Fair value based on significant value driver inputs that are not observable.

The fair values for separate account assets are based on quoted market prices in active markets. These investments have been categorized as Level 1 assets.

(3) Expense Charges

Proceeds received by the Variable Account from units issued represent gross contract premiums received by Thrivent Financial. No charge for sales distribution expense is deducted from premiums received.

A surrender charge is deducted from the accumulated value of the contract to compensate Thrivent Financial if a contract is surrendered in whole or in part during the first six years the contract is in force. The surrender charge is 6% during the first contract year for the 2002 series and 7% for the 2005 series. This charge decreases by 1% each subsequent contract year. For purposes of the surrender charge calculation, up to 10% of a contract’s accumulated value may be excluded from the calculation each year. This charge is deducted by redeeming units of the subaccounts of the Variable Account.

A daily charge is deducted from the value of the net assets of the Variable Account to compensate Thrivent Financial for mortality and expense risks assumed in connection with the contract and is equivalent to an annual rate of 1.10% - 2.20% of the average daily net assets of the Variable Account depending on the death benefit option of the contract as shown below. A contract pending payout due to a death claim is charged based on the average daily net assets of the Variable Account and is equal to annual rate of 0.95%. An administrative charge equivalent to an annual rate of 0.55% is charged for contracts that have the return protection allocation (RPA) benefit.

(a) These amounts represent the annualized contract expenses of the separate account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying fund have been excluded. The RPA fee is not included.
(b) These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the subaccount from the underlying mutual fund net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that are assessed against the contract owner accounts either through reductions in the unit values or the redemption of units. The recognition of investment income is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the subaccount invests.
(c) These amounts represent the total return for periods indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund, and expenses assessed through the the reduction of unit values. These ratios do not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units. Investment options with a date notation in Note 1 indicate the effective date of the investment option in the Variable Account. The total return is calculated for each period indicated or from the inception date through the end of the reporting period.
(d) These amounts represent the amounts associated with the 2002 Series.
(e) These amounts represent the amounts associated with the 2005 Series.

Item 28. Indemnification

Section 33 of Depositor’s Bylaws; Article VIII of the Fund’s Articles of Incorporation; Section 4.01 of the Fund’s First Amended and Restated Bylaws; and Section Eight of Thrivent Investment Mgt.’s Articles of Incorporation, contain provisions requiring the indemnification by Depositor, the Funds, and Thrivent Investment Mgt. of their respective directors, officers and certain other individuals for any liability arising based on their duties as directors, officers or agents of the Depositor, Fund or Thrivent Investment Mgt., unless, in the case of the Fund, such liability arises due to the willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such office.

In addition, Section XII of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Fund and Depositor contain provisions in which the Funds and Depositor mutually agree to indemnify and hold the other party (including its officers, agents, and employees) harmless for any and all loss, cost damage and expense, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by the other party arising out of their performance under the Agreement, unless such liability is incurred as a result of the party’s gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misfeasance or reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the Agreement.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Registrant, pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Depositor, the Funds, or Thrivent Investment Mgt. of expenses incurred or paid by a director or officer or controlling person of Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person of Registrant in connection with the securities being registered, Depositor, the Funds, or Thrivent Investment Mgt. will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether or not such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 31. Management Services

Not Applicable.

Item 32. Undertakings

Registrant will file a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement as frequently as is necessary to ensure that the audited financial statements in this Registration Statement are never more than 16 months old for so long as payments under the Contracts may be accepted.

Registrant will include either (1) as part of any application to purchase a Contract offered by the Prospectus, a space that an applicant can check to request a Statement of Additional Information, or (2) a postcard or similar written communication affixed to or included in the Prospectus that the applicant can remove to send for a Statement of Additional Information.

Registrant will deliver any Statement of Additional Information and any financial statements required to be made available under this form promptly upon written or oral request.

Registrant understands that the restrictions imposed by Section 403(b)(11) of the Internal Revenue Code conflict with certain sections of the Investment Company Act of 1940 that are applicable to the Contracts. In this regard, Registrant is relying on a no-action letter issued on November 28, 1988 by the Office of Insurance Product and Legal Compliance of the SEC, and the requirements for such reliance have been complied with by Registrant.

Depositor hereby represents that, as to the flexible premium deferred variable annuity contracts that are the subject of this registration statement, File Number 333-89488, that the fees and charges deducted under the contracts, in the aggregate, are reasonable in relation to the services rendered, the expenses expected to be incurred and the risks assumed by Depositor.
