Supplement dated August 11, 2023 to the current variable annuity and life prospectuses listed below

 

 

 

This Supplement updates certain information in the most recent prospectus (the “Prospectus”) for the variable annuity contracts and life policies listed in this Supplement. You should read this Supplement in conjunction with the Prospectus and retain it for future reference. Special terms not defined in this Supplement have the same meaning as in the Prospectus. We will send you another copy of the Prospectus or any prior supplement thereto without charge upon request. For additional information, please contact the customer service group referenced in the Prospectus.

 

The purpose of this Supplement is to provide you with information regarding a proposed reorganization involving Portfolios of EQ Premier VIP Trust underlying your contract or policy (the “Reorganization”).

 

Subject to shareholder approval, effective on or about November 11, 2023 (the “Reorganization Date”), each Portfolio of EQ Premier VIP Trust (an “Acquired Trust Portfolio”) will reorganize into a substantially identical, newly created Portfolio of EQ Advisors Trust (an “Acquiring Trust Portfolio”). The investment objectives, policies, principal strategies, principal risks, and the fees and expenses of each Acquired Trust Portfolio and corresponding Acquiring Trust Portfolio are substantially identical, and Equitable Investment Management Group, LLC, will remain as the Portfolio’s Investment Manager. Additional information about the Reorganization can be found in the combined proxy statement/prospectus by EQ Advisors Trust.

 

The table below lists the Acquired and Acquiring Trust Portfolios involved in the Reorganization. Please note that not all Acquired Trust Portfolios may be available currently under your contract or policy.

If the Reorganization is approved by shareholders, then on the Reorganization Date:

 

 

Each Acquired Trust Portfolio under your contract or policy will be removed as an investment option, and the corresponding Acquiring Trust Portfolio will be added as an available investment option (subject to any applicable allocation restrictions). All references in the Prospectus to the EQ Premier VIP Trust will be deleted in their entirety and replaced with references to EQ Advisors Trust.

 

 

If you have account value allocated to an Acquired Trust Portfolio, your contract or policy will be automatically credited with interest in the corresponding Acquiring Trust Portfolio. Your interest in the Acquiring Trust Portfolio immediately after the Reorganization will be equal to your interest in the removed Acquired Trust Portfolio immediately prior to the Reorganization. There will be no financial impact on your contract or policy.

 

 

You will not bear any of the expenses related to the Reorganization, and the Reorganization will not result in any tax consequences for you.

 

 

All allocation elections and instructions that include the Acquired Trust Portfolios will be automatically updated to replace the Acquired Trust Portfolios with the corresponding Acquiring Trust Portfolios.

No action is required on your part. You may continue to transfer your account value between and among the investment options prior to and after the Reorganization, as usual. For more information, please contact your financial professional or contact our customer service representative.

Item 33. Indemnification

The By-Laws of Equitable Financial Life Insurance Company of America provide, in Article VI as follows:

SECTION 1. NATURE OF INDEMNITY. The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was or has agreed to become a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, and shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to such an action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was or has agreed to become an employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as an employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; except that in the case of an action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor (1) such indemnification shall be limited to expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in the defense or settlement of such action or suit, and (2) no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity.

The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of no contest or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

SECTION 6. SURVIVAL; PRESERVATION OF OTHER RIGHTS. The foregoing indemnification provisions shall be deemed to be a contract between the Corporation and each director, officer, employee and agent who serves in any such capacity at any time while these provisions as well as the relevant provisions of Title 10, Arizona Revised Statutes are in effect and any repeal or modification thereof shall not affect any right or obligation then existing with respect to any state of facts then or previously existing or any action, suit or proceeding previously or thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon any such state of facts. Such a “contract right” may not be modified retroactively without the consent of such director, officer, employee or agent.

The indemnification provided by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other right to which those indemnified may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

SECTION 7. INSURANCE. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this By-Law.

The directors and officers of the Company are insured under policies issued by X. L. Insurance Company, Arch Insurance Company, Endurance Specialty Insurance Company, U.S. Specialty Insurance, ACE, Chubb Insurance Company, AXIS Insurance Company, Zurich Insurance Company, AWAC (Allied World Assurance Company, Ltd.), Aspen Bermuda XS, CNA, AIG, One Beacon, Nationwide, Berkley, Berkshire, SOMPO, Chubb, Markel and ARGO RE Ltd. The annual limit on such policies is $300 million, and the policies insure the officers and directors against certain liabilities arising out of their conduct in such capacities.

 

C-10


Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the 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 for such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expense incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant 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 whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
