The information shown in the table above was provided by the Underlying Funds. Certain Underlying Funds and their investment adviser have entered into expense reimbursement and/or fee waiver arrangements that will continue at least until April 28, 2024. These arrangements can be terminated with respect to these Underlying Funds only with the approval of the Underlying Fund's board of directors or trustees. Please see the Underlying Funds’ prospectuses for additional information regarding these arrangements.
Certain Underlying Funds that have “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses” are “funds of funds.” A fund of funds invests substantially all of its assets in other underlying funds. Because the Underlying Fund invests in other funds, it will bear its pro rata portion of the operating expenses of those underlying funds, including the management fee.

Transfers
Restrictions on Transfers
Restrictions on Frequent Transfers. Our policies and procedures may result in transfer restrictions being applied to deter frequent transfers. Currently, when we detect transfer activity in the Monitored Portfolios that exceeds our current transfer limits, we will impose transfer restrictions on the entire contract and will require future transfer requests to or from any Underlying Fund under the contract to be submitted in writing with an original signature. A first occurrence will result in a warning letter; a second occurrence will result in the imposition of this restriction for a six-month period; a third occurrence will result in the permanent imposition of the restriction.
We monitor transfer activity in the following “Monitored Portfolios” for purposes of imposing our restrictions on frequent transfers.  In addition, we monitor transfer activity in all other Funds of the American Funds Insurance Series® available under your Contract.

FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS
Changes Affecting Qualified Annuity Contracts. Under the recently enacted SECURE 2.0 Act of 2022 (the “Act”), the age at which required minimum distributions (“RMDs”) must generally begin under an IRA or qualified retirement plan has been increased from age 72 to age 73 for individuals who attained age 72 on or after January 1, 2023.  This change does not affect individuals who attained age 72 prior to January 1, 2023 and therefore has no impact on the calculation or timing of their RMDs.  In 2033, the Act provides for a further increase to age 75 for certain individuals based upon their date of birth.  The Act includes many other provisions updating the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and affecting IRAs and qualified plans, some of which become effective immediately and some which will become effective in later years. For example, the Act contains provisions affecting certain contribution and other limits pertaining to IRAs and qualified plans, as well as provisions providing new exceptions to the 10% federal income tax
7

penalty for premature distributions, including the ability to recontribute such premature distributions to an IRA or qualified plan (subject to the provisions of the Code, the qualified plan/IRA, the Contract and our administrative rules). You should consult with a qualified tax adviser as to how these changes affect you.

The Insurance Company
We are not a fiduciary and do not give advice or make recommendations regarding insurance or investment products. Ask your financial representative for guidance regarding any requests or elections and for information about your particular investment needs. Please bear in mind that your financial representative, or any financial firm or financial professional you consult to provide advice, is acting on your behalf. We are not a party to any agreement between you and your financial professional. We do not recommend and are not responsible for any securities transactions or investment strategies involving securities (including account recommendations).
Cybersecurity and Certain Business Continuity Risks
Our variable annuity contract business is largely conducted through complex information technology and communications systems operated by us and our service providers or other business partners (e.g., the Underlying Funds and the firms involved in the distribution and sale of our variable annuity contracts), and their operations rely on the secure processing, storage and transmission of confidential and other information in their systems and those of their respective third party service providers. For example, many routine operations, such as processing Owners’ requests and elections and day-to-day recordkeeping, are all executed through computer networks and systems. We have established administrative and technical controls and business continuity and resilience plans to protect our operations against attempts by unauthorized third parties to improperly access, modify, disrupt the operation of, or prevent access to critical networks or systems or data within them (a “cyber-attack”). Despite these protocols, a cyber-attack could have a material, negative impact on the Company and the Separate Account, as well as individual Owners and their contracts. There are inherent limitations in our plans and systems, including the possibility that certain risks have not been identified or that unknown threats may emerge in the future. Unanticipated problems with, or failures of, our disaster recovery systems and business continuity plans could have a material impact on our ability to conduct business and on our financial condition and operations, and such events could result in regulatory fines or sanctions, litigation, penalties or financial losses, reputational harm, loss of customers, and/or additional compliance costs for BLIC. Our operations also could be negatively affected by a cyber-attack at a third party, such as a service provider, business partner, another participant in the financial markets, or a governmental or regulatory authority. Cyber-attacks can occur through unauthorized access to computer systems, networks or devices; infection from computer viruses or other malicious software code; phishing attacks; account takeover attempts; or attacks that shut down, disable, slow or otherwise disrupt operations, business processes or website access or functionality. There may be an increased risk of cyber-attacks during periods of geo-political or military conflict. Disruptions or failures may also result from unintentional causes, such as market events that trigger a surge of activity that overloads current information technology and communication systems. Other disruptive events, including (but not limited to) natural disasters, military actions, and public health crises, may adversely affect our ability to conduct business, in particular if our employees or the employees of our service providers are unable or unwilling to perform their responsibilities as a result of any such event. Cyber-attacks, disruptions or failures to our business operations can interfere with our processing of contract transactions, including the processing of transfer orders from our website or with the Underlying Funds; impact our ability to calculate Accumulation Unit values; cause the release and/or possible loss, misappropriation or corruption of confidential Owner or business information; or impede order processing or cause other operational issues.  Cyber-attacks, disruptions or failures may also impact the issuers of securities in which the Underlying Funds invest, and it is possible the funds underlying your contract could lose value. There can be no assurance that we or our service providers or the Underlying Funds will avoid losses affecting your contract due to cyber-attacks, disruptions or failures in the future. Although we continually make efforts to identify and reduce our exposure to cybersecurity risk, there is no guarantee that we will be able to successfully manage and mitigate this risk at all times. Furthermore, we cannot control the cybersecurity plans and systems implemented by third parties, including service providers or issuers of securities in which the Underlying Funds invest.

COVID-19 and Market Conditions
The COVID-19 pandemic has at times resulted in or contributed to significant financial market volatility, travel restrictions and disruptions, quarantines, an uncertain interest rate environment, elevated inflation, global business, supply chain, and employment disruptions affecting companies across various industries, government and central bank interventions, wide-ranging changes in consumer behavior, as well as general concern and uncertainty that has negatively affected the economic environment. COVID-19 vaccine distribution in the United States has resulted in more flexible quarantine guidelines, increased consumer demand, and resurgence of travel. However, vaccination rates and vaccine availability abroad, specifically in developing and emerging market countries, continue to lag, and new COVID-19 variants have led to waves of increased hospitalizations and deaths. At this time, it continues to not be possible to estimate the severity or duration of the pandemic, including the severity, duration and frequency of any additional “waves” or emerging variants of COVID-19. It likewise remains not possible to predict or estimate the longer-term effects of the pandemic, or any actions taken to contain or address the pandemic, on our business and financial condition, the financial markets, and economy at large. The Company has implemented risk management and contingency plans, and continues to closely monitor this evolving situation, including the impact on services provided by third-party vendors. However, there can be no assurance that any future impact from the COVID-19 pandemic will not be material to the Company and/or with respect to the services the Company or its customers receive from third-party vendors.
Significant market volatility and negative investment returns in the financial markets resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and market conditions could have a negative impact on returns of the Underlying Funds in which the Separate Account invests. Depending on market conditions and your individual circumstances (e.g., your selected investment options and the timing of any transfers or withdrawals), you may experience (perhaps significant) negative returns under the contract. You should consult with your financial representative about how the COVID-19 pandemic and the recent market conditions may impact your future investment decisions related to the contract, such as making subsequent Purchase Payments, transfers, or withdrawals, based on your individual circumstances.
Financial Statements
The financial statements for each of the Sub-Accounts of the Separate Account are attached. Upon request, financial statements for the Company will be sent to you without charge.
