STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

April 30, 2009

Effective February 4, 2010, Premkumar Narasimhan no longer serves as a portfolio manager of VIP Disciplined Small Cap. All references to Mr. Narasimhan in the "Management Contracts" section beginning on page 55 are no longer applicable.

<R>The following information supplements similar information found in the "Management Contracts" section beginning on page 55.</R>

<R>Nathan Strik is co-manager of VIP Contrafund and receives compensation for his services. As of January 31, 2010, portfolio manager compensation generally consists of a fixed base salary determined periodically (typically annually), a bonus, in certain cases, participation in several types of equity-based compensation plans, and, if applicable, relocation plan benefits. A portion of the portfolio manager's compensation may be deferred based on criteria established by FMR or at the election of the portfolio manager.</R>

<R>The portfolio manager's base salary is determined by level of responsibility and tenure at FMR or its affiliates. The primary components of the portfolio manager's bonus are based on the pre-tax investment performance of the portfolio manager's fund(s) and account(s) measured against a benchmark index and within a defined peer group assigned to each fund or account. The pre-tax investment performance of the portfolio manager's fund(s) and account(s) is weighted according to his tenure on those fund(s) and account(s) and the average asset size of those fund(s) and account(s) over his tenure. Each component is calculated separately over the portfolio manager's tenure on those fund(s) and account(s) over a measurement period that initially is contemporaneous with his tenure, but that eventually encompasses rolling periods of up to five years for the comparison to a benchmark index and rolling periods of up to three years for the comparison to a peer group. A smaller, subjective component of the portfolio manager's bonus is based on the portfolio manager's overall contribution to management of FMR. The portion of the portfolio manager's bonus that is linked to the investment performance of VIP Contrafund is based on the fund's pre-tax investment performance measured against the S&P 500 Index, the fund's pre-tax investment performance (based on the performance of the fund's Initial Class) within the Morningstar Large Cap Growth, Large Cap Value, Large Cap Blend, Mid Cap Growth, Mid Cap Value and Mid Cap Blend Categories, and the pre-tax investment performance of the portion of the fund's assets managed by the co-manager measured against the S&P 500 Energy Index. The portfolio manager also is compensated under equity-based compensation plans linked to increases or decreases in the net asset value of the stock of FMR LLC, FMR's parent company. FMR LLC is a diverse financial services company engaged in various activities that include fund management, brokerage, retirement, and employer administrative services. If requested to relocate their primary residence, portfolio managers also may be eligible to receive benefits, such as home sale assistance and payment of certain moving expenses, under relocation plans for most full-time employees of FMR LLC and its affiliates.</R>

<R>The portfolio manager's compensation plan may give rise to potential conflicts of interest. The portfolio manager's compensation is linked to the pre-tax performance of the fund, rather than its after-tax performance. The portfolio manager's base pay tends to increase with additional and more complex responsibilities that include increased assets under management and a portion of the bonus relates to marketing efforts, which together indirectly link compensation to sales. When a portfolio manager takes over a fund or an account, the time period over which performance is measured may be adjusted to provide a transition period in which to assess the portfolio. The management of multiple funds and accounts (including proprietary accounts) may give rise to potential conflicts of interest if the funds and accounts have different objectives, benchmarks, time horizons, and fees as the portfolio manager must allocate his time and investment ideas across multiple funds and accounts. In addition, a fund's trade allocation policies and procedures may give rise to conflicts of interest if the fund's orders do not get fully executed due to being aggregated with those of other accounts managed by FMR or an affiliate. The portfolio manager may execute transactions for another fund or account that may adversely impact the value of securities held by a fund. Securities selected for other funds or accounts may outperform the securities selected for the fund. Portfolio managers may be permitted to invest in the funds they manage, even if a fund is closed to new investors. Trading in personal accounts, which may give rise to potential conflicts of interest, is restricted by a fund's Code of Ethics.</R>

The following information supplements similar information found in the "Management Contracts" section beginning on page 55.

VIP Disciplined Small Cap is managed by Geode, a sub-adviser to the fund. Maximilian Kaufmann is a portfolio manager of the fund and receives compensation for his services. As of December 31, 2009, portfolio manager compensation generally consists of a fixed base salary, a bonus that is based on both objective and subjective criteria, and, in certain cases, participation in a profit-based compensation plan. A portion of the portfolio manager's compensation may be deferred based on criteria established by Geode or at the election of the portfolio manager.

The portfolio manager's base salary is determined annually by level of responsibility and tenure at Geode. The primary component for determining the portfolio manager's bonus is the pre-tax investment performance of the portfolio manager's fund(s) and account(s) relative to a custom peer group, if applicable, and relative to a benchmark index assigned to the fund or account. Performance is measured over multiple measurement periods that eventually encompass periods of up to five years. A portion of the portfolio manager's bonus is linked to the fund's relative pre-tax investment performance measured against the Russell 2000 Index. A subjective component of the portfolio manager's bonus is based on the portfolio manager's overall contribution to the management of Geode, including recruiting, monitoring, and mentoring within the investment management teams, as well as time spent assisting in firm promotion. The portfolio manager may also be compensated under a profit-based compensation plan, which is primarily based on the profits of Geode.

The portfolio manager's compensation plan can give rise to potential conflicts of interest. The manager's base pay tends to increase with additional and more complex responsibilities that include increased assets under management and a portion of the bonus relates to firm promotion efforts, which together indirectly link compensation to sales. Managing and providing research to multiple accounts (including proprietary accounts) can give rise to potential conflicts of interest if the accounts have different objectives, benchmarks, time horizons, and fees as the portfolio manager must allocate his time and investment ideas across multiple accounts. Securities selected for accounts other than the fund may outperform the securities selected for the fund.

In addition to managing the fund's investment portfolio, the portfolio manager also manages other investment portfolios and accounts on behalf of Geode or its affiliates.
