The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has not approved or disapproved these securities, nor passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Purchasing a variable annuity within a qualified plan or Individual Retirement Account/Annuity (IRA) does not provide any additional tax benefit. Variable annuities should not be sold in qualified plans or IRAs because of the tax-deferral feature alone, but rather when other benefits, such as lifetime income payments and death benefit protection support the recommendation.

This prospectus provides important information that a prospective investor ought to know before investing. This prospectus should be kept for future reference. A Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”) dated April 30, 2010 is incorporated by reference and has been filed with the SEC and is available free of charge by contacting us at the address or phone number listed below.

Glossary of Special Terms

Most of the terms used throughout this prospectus are described within the text where they first appear. Certain terms marked by italics when they first appear are described below.

Account Value:The value of all assets held in the Separate Account.

Accumulation Unit:A standard of measurement for each investment option used to determine the value of a contract and the interest in the investment options prior to the start of annuity payments.

Accumulation Unit Value:The value of one Accumulation Unit was set at $1.000 on the date assets were first allocated to each investment option. The value of one Accumulation Unit on any subsequent Valuation Date is determined by multiplying the immediately preceding Accumulation Unit Value by the applicable Net Investment Factor for the Valuation Period ending on such Valuation Date.

Annuitant:The person whose life is used as the measuring life under the contract. The annuitant will be the primary annuitant as shown on the contract’s Schedule Page while that person is living, and will then be the contingent annuitant, if that person is living at the death of the primary annuitant.

Annuity Payment Option: The provisions under which we make a series of annuity payments to the annuitant or other payee, such as Life Annuity with Ten Years Certain. See “Annuity Payment Options.”

Annuity Unit:A standard of measurement used in determining the amount of each periodic payment under the variable payment Annuity Options I, J, K, M and N. The number of annuity units in each investment option with assets under the chosen option is equal to the portion of the first payment provided by that investment option divided by the annuity unit value for that investment option on the first payment calculation date.

Claim Date:The contract value next determined following receipt of due proof.

Contract:The deferred variable accumulation annuity contracts described in this prospectus.

Contract Owner (owner, you, your): Usually, the person or entity, to whom we issue the contract. The contract owner has the sole right to exercise all rights and privileges under the contract as provided in the contract. The owner may be the annuitant, an employer, a trust or any other individual or entity. However, under contracts used with certain tax qualified plans, the owner must be the annuitant. A husband and wife may be designated as joint owners, and if such a joint owner dies, the other joint owner becomes the sole owner of the contract. If no owner is named, the annuitant will be the owner.

Contract Value:Prior to the Maturity Date, the sum of all Accumulation Units held in the investment options of the Separate Account and the value held in the GIA . For Tax-sheltered Annuity plans (as described in Internal Revenue Code (IRC) 403(b)) with loans, the contract value is the sum of all Accumulation Units held in the investment options of the Account and the value held in the GIA plus the value held in the Loan Security Account, less any Loan Debt.

Group Contract:

The deferred variable accumulation annuity contract, offered to employers or trusts to fund tax-qualified plans for groups of participants, described in this prospectus.

GIA:An investment option under which payment amounts are guaranteed to earn a fixed rate of interest.

Inherited/Stretch Annuity:A post-death distribution option that provides an extended payout option for the beneficiary of a deceased Owner’s Contract.

Maturity Date:The date elected by the owner when annuity payments will begin. The elected date is subject to certain conditions described in “The Annuity Period.”

Minimum Initial Payment:The amount that you pay when you purchase a contract. We require minimum initial payments of:

Non-qualified plans—$1,000 Individual Retirement Annuity—$1,000 IRA/Qualified plans—$1,000 annually Contracts with a Maturity Date in the first contract year—$10,000

Net Asset Value: Net asset value of a Series’ shares is computed by dividing the value of the net assets of the Series by the total number of Series’ outstanding shares.

Phoenix (our, us, we, company):Phoenix Life Insurance Company.

Spouse:Federal law defines “spouse” under the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), as a man or a woman legally joined. Neither individuals married under State or foreign laws that permit a marriage between two men or two women nor individuals participating in a civil union or other like status are spouses for any federal purposes, including provisions of the Internal Revenue Code relevant to this Contract.

Valuation Date:A Valuation Date is every day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for trading and we are open for business.

This table does not reflect any fees that may be imposed by the funds for short-term trading. Also, the Phoenix Dynamic Asset Allocation Series are series of a fund of funds. Funds of funds may have higher operating expenses than other funds since funds of funds invest in underlying funds which have their own expenses. Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses are deducted from a fund’s assets and include management fees, distribution and/or 12b-1 fees, and other expenses, but do not include any redemption fees that may be imposed by various funds.

The Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses shown in the second row reflects the effect of fee reductions and waiver arrangements that are contractually in effect at least through April 30, 2011. There can be no assurance that any contractual arrangement will extend beyond its current terms and you should know that these arrangements may exclude certain extraordinary expenses. See each fund’s prospectus for details about the annual operating expenses of that fund and any waiver or reimbursement arrangements that may be in effect.



Optional Benefit Fees

This table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay periodically during the time that you own the contract, not including annual fund fees and expenses, if you elect an optional benefit.

EXPENSE EXAMPLES

If you surrender or annuitize your contract at the end of the applicable time period, your maximum costs would be:

Big Edge Choice® for New York

1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
$388 $1,179 $1,987 $4,089

These 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, maximum of all applicable riders and benefit fees, and the maximum fund fees and expenses that were charged for the year ended 12/31/09.

The examples assume that you invest $10,000 in the contract for the time periods indicated. The examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each year and assumes the maximum fees and expenses of any of the funds and that you have allocated all of your contract value to the fund with the maximum total operating expenses. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower based on these assumptions, your costs are shown in the table above.

Contract Summary

This prospectus contains information about all the material rights and features of the annuity contract that you should understand before investing. This summary describes the general provisions of the annuity contract.

Overview

This contract is designed to give you maximum flexibility in obtaining your investment goals. The contract is intended for those seeking income and long-term tax-deferred accumulation of assets to provide income for retirement or other purposes. Those considering the contract for other purposes should consult with their tax advisors. Participants in qualified plans should note that this contract does not provide any additional tax deferral benefits beyond those provided by the qualified plan and should not consider the contract for its tax treatment, but for its investment and annuity benefits.

The contract offers a combination of investment options both variable and fixed. Investments in the investment options provide returns that are variable and depend upon the performance of the underlying funds, and the owner assumes the risk of gain or loss according to the performance of the underlying funds. Allocations to the GIA produce guaranteed interest earnings subject to certain conditions. There is no guarantee that on the maturity date the contract value will equal or exceed payments made under the contract.

You also may select from many different variable and fixed annuity payout options, some of which offer retirement income payments that you cannot outlive. See “The Annuity Period—Annuity Options.”

Although investment performance is not guaranteed in a variable annuity, the Optional Benefit rider available with this annuity provides a type of guarantee but only if you meet certain conditions. You should read the section entitled “Optional Benefits” carefully if you think you may be interested in the Optional Benefit rider. When choosing any Optional Benefit rider for your annuity, it is important to understand if your long-term need for a guarantee suits your financial long term needs. You should know that all guarantees are based on the claims paying ability of the issuing company. When purchasing any annuity with a guaranteed benefit, you should not only consider the additional costs of the living benefit but compare the total cost of the annuity to determine if the annuity suits your needs.

Suitability

Annuities are designed for long-term financial planning and are not designed for short-term investment strategies. You should make sure you understand all the options for payment and how long you must wait before annuity payments begin. Additionally, while an annuity offers the potential for appreciation, fees, charges, and poor investment performance can negatively affect the value of your annuity. You bear the investment risk, whether a gain or loss, for any contract value allocated to the Separate Account.

Annuities that are offered to fund a qualified plan or an Individual Retirement Account (“IRA”), do not provide any additional tax deferred advantages. If your only or main investment objective with the qualified plan or IRA is tax deferral, an annuity product may be more expensive than other products that provide tax deferred benefits.

Replacements

Replacing any existing contract with this contract may not be to your advantage. You should talk with your registered representative before you replace your variable annuity contract. You should carefully compare the risks, charges, and benefits of your existing contract to the replacement policy to determine if replacing your existing contract benefits you. Additionally, replacing your contract could result in adverse tax consequences so you should also consult with your tax professional. You should know that once you have replaced your variable annuity contract, you generally cannot reinstate it unless the insurer is required to reinstate the previous contract under state law. This is true even if you choose not to accept your new variable annuity contract during your “free look” period.

Conflicts of Interest

Broker-dealers and registered representatives often sell products issued by several different and unaffiliated insurance companies and the amount of compensation payable may vary significantly. Additionally, compensation paid to a broker-dealer or registered representative will also vary between products issued by the same insurance company, including additional compensation payable as part of certain service arrangements. A broker-dealer and its registered representatives may have an incentive to promote or sell one product over another depending on these differences in the compensation, potentially resulting in the sale of a product that may not be the best product to suit your needs. You should talk to your registered representative if you have questions about potential conflicts of interest that may be created by varying compensation plans. You can find more information about the types of compensation arrangements we offer in the “Sales of Variable Contracts” section of this prospectus.

Investment Features

Flexible Premium Payments

You may make premium payments anytime until the maturity date. You can vary the amount and frequency of your premium payments. Other than the Minimum Initial Payment, there are no required premium payments.

Minimum Premium Payment

Generally, the minimum initial payment is $1,000.

Allocation of Premiums and Contract Value

Premium payments are invested in one or more of the investment options and the GIA. Each investment option invests directly in a professionally managed fund. Prior to the maturity date, you may elect to transfer all or any part of the contract value among one or more investment options, or the GIA, subject to the limitations established for the GIA and the restrictions related to disruptive trading and market timing. After the maturity date under variable annuity payment options, you may elect to transfer all or any part of the contract value among one or more investment options. For more information, refer to “GIA” “Internet, Interactive Voice Response and Telephone Transfers,” and “Market Timing and Other Disruptive Trading.” The contract value allocated to the investment options varies with the investment performance of the funds and is not guaranteed. The contract value allocated to the GIA will depend on deductions taken from the GIA and interest accumulated at rates we set. Subject to state insurance department approval, the Minimum Guaranteed Interest Rate will equal the statutory required minimum interest rate under applicable state insurance law where the contract is delivered (generally between 1% and 3%). The contract value allocated to the GIA will depend on deductions taken from the GIA and interest accumulation at rates set by us (minimum—4% for individual contracts and 3% for group contracts). You may also elect an asset allocation or strategic program through which to allocate your premiums and contract value. Participation in a program is optional. Although we may offer other programs in the future, whether those programs will be made available to both current and prospective policy owners will be determined at the sole discretion of the Company. For more information on the programs, refer to the section on “Asset Allocation and Strategic Programs” under “The Accumulation Period.”

Withdrawals

You may partially or fully surrender the contract anytime for its contract value less any applicable surrender charge and premium tax. During the first contract year, you may withdraw up to 10% of the contract value as of the date of the first partial surrender without a surrender charge. After that, you can surrender up to 10% of the contract value as of the last contract anniversary without a surrender charge. Withdrawals may be subject to income tax on any gains plus a 10% penalty tax if the Contract Owner is under age 59½. For more information, see “Federal Income Taxes.” Prior to the maturity date, contract owners who have elected the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit Rider (“GMIB”) may request partial withdrawals to be made either pro rata from all investment options and the GIA or from a specific investment option. Withdrawals may negatively impact guarantees provided by the Optional Benefit rider if certain conditions are not met. Please see the section entitled “Optional Benefits” for further details.

Death Benefit

The contract provides for payment on the death of the owner or the annuitant anytime before the maturity date of the contract.

Deductions and Charges

From the Contract Value

Annual Administrative Charge—currently, $35 each year. For more information, see “Deductions and Charges.” Surrender Charges—may occur when you surrender your contract or request a withdrawal if the assets have not been held under the contract for a specified period of time. If we impose a surrender charge, it is deducted from amounts withdrawn. The surrender charge is designed to recover the expense of distributing contracts that are terminated before distribution expenses have been recouped from revenue generated by these contracts. No surrender charges are taken upon the death of the owner before the maturity date. No deduction for surrender charges is taken after the annuity period has begun, unless you make unscheduled withdrawals under Annuity Payment Options K or L. A declining surrender charge is assessed on withdrawals in excess of the 10% of the account value, based on the date the premium payments are deposited:

Additional Information

Free Look Period

We may mail the contract to you or we may deliver it to you in person. You may return a contract for any reason within ten days after you receive it and receive in cash the adjusted Contract Value less any charges. (A longer Free Look Period may be required by your state.) If a portion or all of your initial premium payment has been allocated to the GIA, we also will refund any earned interest. However, if applicable state or federal law requires a return of premium payments less any withdrawals, we will return the greater of premium payments less any withdrawals or the Contract Value less any applicable surrender charges.

Termination

If on any valuation date the total contract value equals zero, or, the premium tax reimbursement due on a surrender or partial withdrawal is greater than or equal to the contract value, the contract will immediately terminate without value.

Community and Marital Property States

If the contract owner resides in a community property or marital property state and has not named his or her spouse as the sole beneficiary, the spouse may need to consent to the non-spouse beneficiary designation. The policyholder should consult with legal counsel regarding this designation. Should spousal consent be required, we are not liable for any consequences resulting from the failure of the contract owner to obtain proper consent.

Financial Highlights

Financial highlights give the historical value for a single unit of each of the available investment options and the number of units outstanding at the end of each of the past ten years, or since the investment option began operations, if less. These tables are highlights only.

More information, including the Separate Account and Company financial statements, is in the SAI and in the annual report. You may obtain a copy of the SAI by calling the Annuity Operations Division at 800/541-0171.

The tables are set forth in Appendix C.

Financial Statements

The financial statements of Phoenix Life Variable Accumulation Account as of December 31, 2009, and the results of its operations and the changes in its net assets for each of the periods indicated and the consolidated financial statements of Phoenix Life Insurance Company as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009 are contained in the Statement of Additional Information (SAI), which you can get free of charge by calling the toll free number given on page one by writing to us at Phoenix Variable Products Mail Operations, P.O. Box 8027, Boston MA 02266-8027, or by visiting our website www.phoenixwm.com. In addition, the SAI is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The consolidated financial statements of Phoenix Life Insurance Company included herein should be considered only as bearing upon the ability of Phoenix Life Insurance Company to meet its obligations under the policies. You should not consider them as bearing on the investment performance of the assets held in the Separate Account or the Guaranteed Interest Account’s rates that we credit during a guarantee period.

Performance History

We may include the performance history of the investment options in advertisements, sales literature or reports. Performance information about each investment option is based on past performance only and is not an indication of future performance. Historical returns are usually calculated for one year, five years and ten years. If the investment option has not been in existence for at least one year, returns are calculated from inception of the investment option. Standardized average annual total return is measured by comparing the value of a hypothetical $1,000 investment in the investment option at the beginning of the relevant period to the value of the investment at the end of the period, assuming the reinvestment of all distributions at Net Asset Value and the deduction of all applicable contract and surrender charges except for taxes (which may vary by state).

The Variable Accumulation Annuity

The individual deferred variable accumulation annuity contract (the “contract”) issued by Phoenix is significantly different from a fixed annuity contract in that, unless the GIA is selected, it is the owner under a contract who bears the risk of investment gain or loss rather than Phoenix. To the extent that premium payments are not allocated to the GIA, the amounts that will be available for annuity payments under a contract will depend on the investment performance of the amounts allocated to the investment options. Upon the maturity of a contract, the amounts held under a contract will continue to be invested in the Separate Account and monthly annuity payments will vary in accordance with the investment experience of the variable investment options selected. However, a fixed annuity may be elected, in which case the amounts held under a contract will be transferred to the General Account of Phoenix and Phoenix will guarantee specified monthly annuity payments.

Phoenix and the Separate Account
On June 25, 2001, Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company (a New York mutual life insurance company incorporated on May 1, 1851, originally chartered in Connecticut in 1851 and redomiciled to New York in 1992) converted to a stock company life insurance company by “demutualizing” pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by New York Superintendent of Insurance and changed its name to Phoenix Life Insurance Company (“Phoenix”). As part of the demutualization, Phoenix became a wholly owned subsidiary of The Phoenix Companies, Inc. (“PNX”) a newly formed, publicly traded Delaware corporation.

Our executive and our administrative offices are located at One American Row, Hartford, Connecticut, 06102-5056. Our New York principal office is 31 Tech Valley Drive, East Greenbush, New York 12061. We sell life insurance policies and annuity Contracts through producers of affiliated distribution companies and through brokers.

On June 21, 1982 we established the Separate Account, a separate account created under the insurance laws of Connecticut. The Separate Account is registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and it meets the definition of a “separate account” under the 1940 Act. Registration under the 1940 Act does not involve supervision by the SEC of the management or investment practices or policies of the Separate Account or of Phoenix. On July 1, 1992 the Separate Account’s domicile was transferred to New York.

The Separate Account has several investment options with varying degrees of investment risk. You may make contributions to the Separate Account but you assume all of the investment risk for the contract value that you contribute and allocate to the Separate Account. Under New York law these Separate Account assets are segregated from our general account and all income, gains or losses, whether or not realized, of the Separate Account must be credited to or charged against the amounts placed in the Separate Account without regard to the other income, gains and losses from any other business or activity of the insurer. The assets of the Separate Account may not be used to pay liabilities arising out of any other business that an insurer conducts and as such are insulated from the creditors of the insurer. However, the assets in the Separate Account are attributable to more than one variable annuity product or to more than one variable life insurance product that we sell. Therefore, although these assets are insulated from our creditors, they all may be used to support Separate Account obligations. To the extent that the assets in the Separate Account become deficient for any reason, we will transfer assets from our General Account to the extent they are available. We reserve the right to add, remove, modify, or substitute any investment option in the Separate Account.

Obligations under the contracts are obligations of Phoenix. You may make contributions to the GIA which is supported by the assets in Phoenix’s general account and such contributions are not invested in the Separate Account. The GIA is part of the general account of Phoenix (the “General Account”). The General Account supports all insurance and annuity obligations of Phoenix and is made up of all of its general assets other than those allocated to any separate account such as the Separate Account. For more complete information, see the “GIA” section below.

Contract Guarantees

Any guarantee under the contract, such as interest credited to the GIA or any guarantees provided by a rider to your variable annuity are paid from our general account. Therefore, any amounts that we may pay under the contract as part of a guarantee are subject to our long-term ability to make such payments. The assets of the Separate Account are available to cover the liabilities of our General Account to the extent that the Separate Account assets exceed the Separate Account liabilities arising under the policies supported by it.

Under New York law, insurance companies are required to hold a specified amount of reserves in order to meet the contractual obligations of their general account to contract owners. State insurance regulators also require insurance companies to maintain a minimum amount of capital, which acts as a cushion in the event that the insurer suffers a financial impairment, based on the inherent risks in the insurer’s operations. These risks include those associated with losses that an insurer could incur as the result of its own investment of its general account assets, which could include bonds, mortgages, general real estate investments, and stocks. Useful information about Phoenix’s financial strength, including information on our General Account portfolio of investments, may be found on our website located under “About Us”/”Financial Strength” along with information on ratings assigned to us by one or more independent rating organizations. Additionally, the consolidated financial statements and financial schedules from PNX and subsidiaries’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and any applicable amendments, may also be found on our website, phoenixwm.com, or a copy of any of the above referenced documents may be obtained for free by calling our Annuity Operations Division.

The Variable Investment Options

You choose the variable investment options to which you allocate your premium payments. These variable investment options are investment options of the Separate Account. The investment options invest in the underlying funds. You are not investing directly in the underlying fund. Each underlying fund is a portfolio of an open-end management investment company that is registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940. These underlying funds are not publicly traded and are offered only through variable annuity and variable life insurance products, or directly to tax qualified plans. They are not the same retail mutual funds as those offered outside of a variable annuity or variable life insurance product, or directly to tax qualified plans, although the investment practices and fund names may be similar and the portfolio managers may be identical. Accordingly, the performance of the retail mutual fund is likely to be different from that of the underlying fund, and you should not compare the two.

The underlying funds offered through this product are selected by the company based on several criteria, including asset class coverage, the strength of the manager’s reputation and tenure, brand recognition, performance, and the capability and qualification of each sponsoring investment firm. Another factor the company considers during the initial selection process is whether the underlying fund or an affiliate of the underlying fund will compensate the company for providing administrative, marketing, and support services that would otherwise be provided by the underlying fund, the underlying fund’s investment advisor, or its distributor. Finally, when the company develops a variable annuity (or life) product in cooperation with a fund family or distributor (e.g. a “private label” product), the company will generally include underlying funds based on recommendations made by the fund family or distributor, whose selection criteria may differ from the company’s selection criteria.

Each underlying fund is reviewed periodically after having been selected. Upon review, the company may remove an underlying fund or restrict allocation of additional premium payments to an underlying fund if the company determines the underlying fund no longer meets one or more of the criteria and/or if the underlying fund has not attracted significant contract owner assets.

In addition, if any of the underlying funds become unavailable for allocating premium payments, or if we believe that further investment in an underlying fund is inappropriate for the purposes of the contract, we may substitute another variable investment option. However, we will not make any substitutions without notifying you and obtaining any state and SEC approval, if necessary. From time to time we may make new variable investment options available.

Each investment option of the Separate Account is subject to market fluctuations and the risks that come with the ownership of any security; and there can be no assurance that any Series will achieve its stated investment objective.

You will find detailed information about the underlying funds and their inherent risks in the current prospectuses for the underlying funds. Since each option has varying degrees of risk, please read the prospectuses carefully. There is no assurance that any of the underlying funds will meet its investment objectives. Copies of the fund prospectuses may be obtained by writing to our Annuity Operations Division or calling us at the address or telephone number provided on the first page of this prospectus.

Administrative, Marketing and Support Service Fees

The Company and the principal underwriter for the Contracts have entered into agreements with the investment adviser, subadviser, distributor, and/or affiliated companies of most of the underlying funds. We have also entered into agreements with the Phoenix Edge Series Fund and its advisor, Phoenix Variable Advisors, Inc., with whom we are affiliated. These agreements compensate the Company and the principal underwriter for the Contracts for providing certain administrative, marketing, or other support services to the underlying funds.

Proceeds of these payments may be used for any corporate purpose, including payment of expenses that the Company and the principal underwriter for the Contracts incur in promoting, issuing, distributing and administering the Contracts. As stated previously, such payments are a factor in choosing which funds to offer in the Company’s variable products. These payments may be significant and the Company and its affiliates may profit from them.

The payments are generally based on a percentage of the average assets of each underlying fund allocated to the variable investment options under the contract or other contracts offered by the Company. The Phoenix Edge Series Fund pays a flat fee to Phoenix Life Insurance Company. The amount of the fee that an underlying fund and its affiliates pay the Company and/or the Company’s affiliates is negotiated and varies with each underlying fund. Aggregate fees relating to the different underlying funds may be as much as 0.40% of the average net assets of an underlying fund attributable to the relevant contracts. The flat fee rates may be as much as $1.6 million. A portion of these payments may come from revenue derived from the distribution and/or service fees (12b-1 fees) that are paid by an underlying fund out of its assets as party of its total annual operating expenses and is not paid directly from the assets of your variable insurance product.

These payments reflect in part the administrative service expense savings derived by the funds by having a sole shareholder rather than multiple shareholders in connection with the Separate Account’s investments in the funds.

These administrative services may include but are not limited to soliciting applications for Variable Contracts issued by the Company, providing information about the funds from time to time, answering questions concerning the funds, including questions respecting Variable Contract owners’ interests in one or more of the funds, distributing, printing, and mailing of: the underlying funds’ prospectus and any applicable supplement; annual and semi-annual reports; proxy materials (including tabulating and transmitting proxies executed by or on behalf of Variable Contract owner’s); electronic and teleservicing support in connection with the funds; maintenance of investor records reflecting shares purchased, redeemed, transferred and share balances, and conveyance of that information to the fund.

For additional information concerning the available investment options, please see Appendix A.

GIA

In addition to the Separate Account, you may allocate premiums or transfer values to the GIA. Amounts you allocate or transfer to the GIA become part of our general account assets. You do not share in the investment experience of those assets. Rather, we guarantee a minimum rate of return on the allocated amount, as provided under the terms of your product. Although we are not obligated to credit interest at a higher rate than the minimum, may credit interest at a higher rate than the minimum for new and existing deposits. We reserve the right to limit total deposits to the GIA, including transfers, to no more than $250,000 during any one-week period per policy.

Prior to the Maturity Date, you may make transfers into or out of the GIA subject to the GIA restrictions described in this section. In general, you may make only one transfer per year out of the GIA. The amount that can be transferred out is limited to the greater of $1,000 or 25% of the contract value in the GIA as of the date of the transfer. Also, the total contract value allocated to the GIA may be transferred out to one or more of the investment options over a consecutive 4-year period according to the following schedule:
     Year One: 25% of the total value
     Year Two: 33% of remaining value
     Year Three: 50% of remaining value
     Year Four: 100% of remaining value

Transfers from the GIA may also be subject to other rules as described throughout this prospectus. The GIA is available only during the accumulation phase of your contract.

Because of exemptive and exclusionary provisions, we have not registered interests in our general account under the Securities Act of 1933. Also, we have not registered our general account as an investment company under the 1940 Act, as amended. Therefore, neither the general account nor any of its interests are subject to these Acts, and the SEC has not reviewed the general account disclosures. These disclosures, however, may be subject to certain provisions of the federal securities law regarding accuracy and completeness of statements made in this prospectus.

Deductions and Charges

Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit Rider Fee (Big Edge, Big Edge Plus,® Big Edge Choice® for New York contracts only)

For contracts issued before September 8, 2003, the fee for this rider is equal to 0.40% multiplied by the guaranteed annuitization value on the date the rider fee is deducted. For contracts issued on or after September 8, 2003, and subject to state insurance department approval, the fee for this rider is equal to 0.60% multiplied by the guaranteed annuitization value on the date the rider fee is deducted.

The fee is deducted on each contract anniversary that this rider is in effect. If this rider terminates on the contract anniversary, the entire fee will be deducted. If this rider terminates on any other day, a pro rated portion of the fee will be deducted. The rider fee will be deducted from the total contract value with each investment option and GIA bearing a pro rata share of such fee based on the proportionate contract value of each investment option and GIA. We will waive the rider fee if the contract value on any contract anniversary is greater than twice the guaranteed annuitization value. Should any of the investment options become depleted, we will proportionally increase the deduction from the remaining investment options unless we agree otherwise.

The maximum fee percentage is 1.000% multiplied by the greater of the guaranteed annuitization value or the contract value on the date the fee is deducted. The current charge is locked in at the time you elect this benefit. Currently the fee percentage for this rider is equal to 0.600% multiplied by the greater of the guaranteed annuitization value or the contract value on the date the rider fee is deducted.

Surrender Charges

A surrender charge may apply to partial withdrawals or a full surrender of the contract prior to the Maturity Date or after the Maturity Date under Annuity Payment Options K or L. The amount (if any) of a surrender charge depends on whether your payments are held under the contract for a certain period of time. The surrender charge is designed to recover the expense of distributing contracts that are terminated before distribution expenses have been recouped from revenue generated by these contracts. They are deferred charges because they are not deducted from premiums. The surrender charge schedule is shown in the chart below. Surrender charges are waived on the free withdrawal amount and on death benefits. Surrender charges will also be waived when you begin taking annuity payments provided your contract has been in effect for five years. Also, no surrender charge will be taken after the annuity period has begun except with respect to unscheduled withdrawals under Annuity Payment Option K or L. For more information, see “Annuity Payment Options.” Any surrender charge imposed is deducted from amounts withdrawn. The surrender charge is calculated on a first-in, first-out basis. In other words, we calculate your surrender charge by assuming your withdrawal is applied to premium payments in the order your premium payments were received.

The surrender charge is deducted from amounts withdrawn in excess of the free withdrawal amount available at the time of the withdrawal up to the total of all premium payments paid less any prior withdrawals for which a surrender charge was paid. The free withdrawal amount is equal to 10% of the contract value. In the first contract year, you may withdraw up to 10% of the contract value at the time of the first withdrawal without surrender charges. In subsequent years, the free withdrawal amount is 10% of the contract value as of the end of the previous contract year.

The surrender charges, expressed as a percentage of the amount withdrawn in excess of the 10% allowable amount, are as follows:

Percent 6% 5% 4% 3% 2% 1% 0%
Age of Payment in Complete Years 0 1 2 3 4 5 6+

Amounts deducted to pay partial withdrawals are subject to a surrender charge. A surrender charge will be deducted from the affected investment options and GIA on a pro rata basis. If you request a net withdrawal of a specified amount, we will deduct the surrender charges from the remaining contract value. This will result in an additional surrender charge when a net withdrawal is requested. If you request a gross withdrawal of a specified amount, we will deduct the surrender charges from the amount requested. Any distribution costs not paid for by surrender charges will be paid by Phoenix from the assets of the General Account.

Tax

Tax is considered to be any tax charged by a state or municipality on premium payments, whether or not characterized as premium payment tax (or premium tax). It is also other state or local taxes imposed or any other governmental fees which may be required based on the laws of the state or municipality of delivery, the owner’s state or municipality of residence on the contract date. Taxes on premium payments currently range from 0% to 3.5% (the amount of state premium payment tax, if any, will vary from state to state), depending on the state. We will pay any premium payment tax, any other state or local taxes imposed or other governmental fee due and will only reimburse ourselves upon the remittance to the applicable state. For a list of states and taxes, see “Appendix B.”

We reserve the right, when calculating unit values, to deduct a credit or fee with respect to any taxes we have paid for or reserved during the valuation period that we determine to be attributable to the operation of a fund. No federal income taxes are applicable under present law and we are not presently making any such deduction.

Charges for Mortality and Expense Risks

While you bear the investment risk of the series in which you invest, once the contract has been converted to a fixed annuity, the annuity payments are guaranteed by us. We assume the risk that annuitants as a class may live longer than expected (necessitating a greater number of annuity payments) and that our expenses may be higher than the deductions for such expenses.

In assuming the mortality risk, we agree to continue life annuity payments, determined in accordance with the annuity tables and other provisions of the contract, to the annuitant or other payee for as long as he or she may live.

To compensate for assuming these risks, we currently charge each investment option the daily equivalent of .40% annually of the current value of the investment option’s net assets for mortality risks assumed and the daily equivalent of .85% annually for expense risks assumed. (See the contract schedule pages.) No mortality and expense risk charge is deducted from the GIA. If the charges prove insufficient to cover actual insurance underwriting costs and excess administrative costs, then the loss will be borne by us; conversely, if the amount deducted proves more than sufficient, the excess will be a profit to Phoenix.

We have concluded that there is a reasonable likelihood that the distribution financing arrangement being used in connection with the contract will benefit the Separate Account and the contract owners.

Charges for Administrative Services

We are responsible for administering the contract. In doing so, we maintain an account for each owner and annuitant, make all disbursements of benefits, furnish administrative and clerical services for each contract. We also make disbursements to pay obligations chargeable to the Separate Account, maintain the accounts, records and other documents relating to the business of the Separate Account required by regulatory authorities, maintain the registration and qualification of the Account under laws administered by the SEC, prepare and distribute notices and reports to owners, and the like. We also reimburse Phoenix Equity Planning Corporation (“PEPCO”) for any expenses incurred by it as “principal underwriter.”

To cover certain of its costs of administration, such as preparation of billings and statements of account, Phoenix generally charges each contract $35 each year prior to the contract’s maturity date. A reduced charge may apply in certain situations. We waive this charge for those contracts maintaining contract values in excess of $50,000. This charge is deducted from each investment option and the GIA in which you are invested on a pro rata basis. This charge may be decreased but will never increase. This charge is deducted on the contract anniversary date for services rendered during the preceding contract year. Upon surrender of a contract, the entire annual administrative charge of $35 is deducted regardless of when the surrender occurs.

If you elect Annuity Payment Options I, J, K, M or N, the annual administrative charge after the Maturity Date will be deducted from each annuity payment in equal amounts.

We may reduce the annual administrative charges for contracts issued under tax-qualified plans other than IRAs, and for group or sponsored arrangements such as Internal Revenue Code Section 403(b) or 457 Plans. Generally, administrative costs per contract vary with the size of the group or sponsored arrangement, its stability as indicated by its term of existence and certain characteristics of its members, the purposes for which the contracts are purchased and other factors. The amount of reduction will be considered on a case-by-case basis but will be applied in a uniform, nondiscriminatory manner that reflects the reduced administrative costs expected as a result of sales to a particular group or sponsored arrangement.

No surrender or annual administrative charges will be deducted for contracts sold to registered representatives of the principal underwriter or to officers, directors and employees of Phoenix or its affiliates and their spouses; or to employees or agents who retire from Phoenix or its affiliates or PEPCO, or its affiliates or to registered representatives of broker-dealers with whom PEPCO has selling agreements.

Other Charges

As compensation for investment management services, the advisors to the funds are entitled to a fee, payable monthly and based on an annual percentage of the average daily net asset values of each series. These fund charges and other fund expenses are described more fully in the fund prospectuses.

The Accumulation Period

The accumulation period is that time before annuity payments begin that your payments into the contract remain invested.

Accumulation Units

An Accumulation Unit is used to calculate the value of a contract. Each investment option has a corresponding accumulation unit value. The number of accumulation units of an investment option purchased with a specific payment will be determined by dividing the payment by the value of an accumulation unit in that investment option next determined after receipt of the payment. The value of the accumulation units of an investment option will vary depending upon the investment performance of the applicable series of the funds, the expenses charged against the fund and the charges and deductions made against the investment option.

Accumulation Unit Values

On any date before the maturity date of the contract, the total value of the accumulation units in an investment option can be computed by multiplying the number of such units by the value of an accumulation unit on that date. The value of an accumulation unit on a day other than a valuation date is the value of the accumulation unit on the next valuation date. The number of accumulation units credited to you in each investment option and their current value will be reported to you at least annually.

Purchase of Contracts

We require minimum initial payments of:

Non-qualified plans—$1,000 IRA/Qualified Plans—$1,000 Contracts with a maturity date in the first contract year—$10,000

The initial payment is due and payable before the contract becomes effective. An automated payment or bank draft service may be available under certain, very limited circumstances. Contact our Annuity Operations Division for information regarding this service.

The minimum age of the proposed owner to purchase a Contract is the age of majority in the state where the Contract is being purchased, or a guardian must act on your behalf Generally, a contract may not be purchased for a proposed annuitant who is 81 years of age or older. Total payments in excess of $1,000,000 cannot be made without the permission of Phoenix. While the annuitant is living and the contract is in force, payments may be made anytime before the maturity date of a contract.

Your initial payments will be applied within two days of our receipt if the application for a contract is complete. If an incomplete application is completed within five business days of receipt by our Annuity Operations Division, your payment will be applied within two days of the completion of the application. If our Annuity Operations Division does not accept the application within five business days or if an order form is not completed within five business days of receipt by our Annuity Operations Division, then your payment will be immediately returned. You may request us to hold your premium payment after the five day period while the application is completed and within two days after completion we will apply your premium payment. Please note that prior to the completion of your application or order form, we will hold the premium in a suspense account, which is a noninterest bearing account. Additional payments allocated to the GIA are deposited on the date of receipt of payment at our Annuity Operations Division. Additional payments allocated to investment options are used to purchase accumulation units of the investment option(s), at the value of such Units next determined after the receipt of the payment at our Annuity Operations Division.


Payments received under the contracts will be allocated in any combination to any investment option or the GIA, in the proportion specified in the application for the contract or as otherwise indicated by you from time to time. Initial payments may, under certain circumstances, be allocated to the money market investment option. See “Free Look Period.” Changes in the allocation of payments will be effective as of receipt by Annuity Operations Division of notice of election in a form satisfactory to us (either in writing or by telephone) and will apply to any payments accompanying such notice or made subsequent to the receipt of the notice, unless otherwise requested by you.

For certain eligible groups, we may reduce the initial or subsequent payment amount we accept for a contract. Qualifications for such reduction follow:

the makeup and size of the prospective group; or the method and frequency of payments; and the amount of compensation to be paid to Registered Representative(s) on each payment.

Any reduction will not unfairly discriminate against any person. We will make any such reduction according to our own rules in effect at the time the payment is received. We reserve the right to change these rules from time to time.

Additional Programs

You may elect any of the additional programs described below at no charge and at any time. We may discontinue, modify or amend these programs as well as offer new programs in the future.

Asset Allocation and Strategic Programs

Asset allocation and strategic programs (referred to as “programs” throughout this section) are intended to optimize the selection of investment options for a given level of risk tolerance, in order to attempt to maximize returns and limit the effects of market volatility. The programs reflect the philosophy that diversification among asset classes may help reduce volatility and boost returns over the long term. An asset class is a category of investments that have similar characteristics, such as stocks, or bonds. Within asset classes there are often further divisions. For example, there may be divisions according to the size of the issuer (large cap, mid cap, small cap) or type of issuer (government, corporate, municipal).

We currently offer the following: programs: Franklin Templeton Founding Investment Strategy, Phoenix-Ibbotson Strategic Asset Allocation, and Phoenix Dynamic Asset Allocation Series which are described below. For ease of reference, throughout this section of the prospectus, we refer to these asset allocation and strategic programs, simply as “programs”, and we refer to the asset allocation options available within the programs, as “options.” There is presently no additional charge for participating in these programs and options. We may, on a prospective basis, charge fees for individual programs and may vary fees among the available programs.

You may participate in only one program at a time. Subject to regulatory requirements and approvals, in the future we may modify or eliminate any existing program or option, or may offer other asset allocation services which, at our discretion, may be available to current and/or prospective contract owners. For the most current information on any program or option, please contact your registered representative.

Selecting a Program and Option

If you are interested in adding a program, consult with your registered representative to discuss your choices. For certain programs, a questionnaire may be used to help you and your registered representative assess your financial needs, investment time horizon, and risk tolerance. You should periodically review these factors to determine if you need to change programs or options. You may, at any time, switch your current program or option to another as well as to any modified or new programs or options the Company may make available. You may cancel your participation in a program at any time, and later re-enroll in a program, after first consulting with your registered representative and then contacting our Annuity Operations Division. If a program is eliminated, you will receive notice and you may choose, in consultation with your registered representative, among the other programs available at that time.

The following programs are currently available:

AllianceBernstein VPS Balanced Wealth Strategy Portfolio

The AllianceBernstein VPS Balanced Wealth Strategy portfolio targets a weighting of 60% equity securities and 40% debt securities with a goal of providing moderate upside potential without excessive volatility. Investments in real estate investment trusts, or REITs, are deemed to be 50% equity and 50% fixed-income for purposes of the overall target blend of the portfolio. The targeted blend for the non-REIT portion of the equity component is an equal weighting of growth and value stocks. This asset allocation option is rebalanced as necessary in response to markets.

Franklin Templeton Founding Investment Strategy

Through the Franklin Templeton Founding Investment Strategy, premium payments and Contract Value are allocated to the three investment options as listed below. On a monthly basis, we will rebalance the Contract Value allocated to the three investment options back to the original allocation percentages in each investment option.

  • Franklin Income Securities Fund—34%
  • Mutual Shares Securities Fund—33%
  • Templeton Growth Securities Fund—33%
Franklin Templeton Perspectives Allocation Model

Phoenix-Ibbotson Strategic Asset Allocation—(Closed to new investors effective June 22, 2009)

Phoenix and Ibbotson Associates have developed five asset allocation options, each comprised of selected combinations of investment options. Except as noted above, the options approved for use are:

  • Conservative Portfolio which seeks conservation of capital and has a portfolio allocation more heavily weighted in fixed income investments than in equities.
  • Moderately Conservative Portfolio which primarily seeks current income, with capital growth as a secondary objective, and has a portfolio allocation of approximately equal weightings in equities and fixed income investments.
  • Moderate Portfolio which seeks long-term capital growth and current income with emphasis on current growth, and has a portfolio allocation more heavily weighted in equities than in fixed income investments.
  • Moderately Aggressive Portfolio which seeks long-term capital growth with current income as a secondary objective, and has more than three quarters of the portfolio in equities and less than one quarter in fixed income investments.
  • Aggressive Portfolio which seeks long-term capital growth and is invested primarily in equities.

On a periodic basis (typically annually), Ibbotson evaluates the options and updates them to respond to market conditions and to ensure style consistency. If you select one of the Phoenix-Ibbotson options, your premium payments (Contract Value for in force policies), however, will not be allocated in accordance with the updated options unless you specifically request we do so. If you elect to participate in this program on and after September 10, 2007, on an annual basis, we will reallocate the Contract Value allocated to the investment options included in the program so that, following this reallocation, the percentage in each investment option equals the percentage originally used for the program. We will make this reallocation effective on the valuation date immediately preceding each anniversary of your contract date for as long as the asset allocation program is in effect for your contract. You should consult with your registered representative for the most current information on this program and the options within the program.

Phoenix Dynamic Asset Allocation SeriesThe Phoenix Dynamic Asset Allocation Series are “funds of funds” that invest in other mutual funds based on certain target percentages. The series were designed on established principles of asset allocation and are intended to provide various levels of potential total return at various levels of risk. Asset allocations are updated quarterly, or more often, depending on changes in the economy or markets. Each option is balanced regularly to the most recent allocations. The options approved for use are:
  • Phoenix Dynamic Asset Allocation Series: Moderate
  • Phoenix Dynamic Asset Allocation Series: Moderate Growth
  • Phoenix Dynamic Asset Allocation Series: Growth
  • Phoenix Dynamic Asset Allocation Series: Aggressive Growth

If you should elect any of the programs listed below, transfers made under these programs will not reduce the 12 transfers per year limit under this contract.

Asset Rebalancing Program

The Asset Rebalancing Program allows you to specify the percentage levels you would like to maintain among the investment options. We will automatically rebalance contract values among the investment options to maintain your selected allocation percentages. You can choose to have us make these transfers monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually. These transfers will occur on the date you specify (provided we receive the request in good order), unless the specified date falls on a holiday or weekend, in which case the transfers will occur on the next succeeding Valuation Date. You may start or discontinue this program at any time by submitting a written request or calling our Annuity Operations Division. The Asset Rebalancing Program does not ensure a profit nor guarantee against a loss in a declining market. Except as described below, the Asset Rebalancing Program is not available while the Dollar Cost Averaging Program is in effect.

Dollar Cost Averaging Program

The Dollar Cost Averaging Program allows you to systematically transfer a set amount to the investment options or GIA on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual basis. Generally, the minimum initial and subsequent transfer amounts are $25 monthly, $75 quarterly, $150 semiannually or $300 annually. Also, premium payments of $1,000,000 or more require our approval before we will accept them for processing. You must have an initial value of $2,000 in the GIA or in the investment option from which funds will be transferred (sending investment option), and if the value in that investment option or the GIA drops below the amount to be transferred, the entire remaining balance will be transferred and no more systematic transfers will be processed. Values may be transferred from only one sending investment option or from the GIA but may be allocated to multiple receiving investment options. Under the Dollar Cost Averaging Program, you may transfer approximately equal amounts from the GIA over a period of 6 months or more. Transfers under the Dollar Cost Averaging Program are not subject to the general restrictions on transfers from the GIA.

Upon completion of the Dollar Cost Averaging Program, you must notify us at 800/541-0171 or in writing to our Annuity Operations Division to start another Dollar Cost Averaging Program.

All transfers under the Dollar Cost Averaging Program will be processed on the date you specify (provided we receive the request in good order). If you do not specify a date, the transfer will be processed on the basis of values next determined after receipt of the request in good order. If either of these dates fall on a holiday or weekend, then the transfer will occur on the next succeeding Valuation Date.

The Dollar Cost Averaging Program is not available to individuals who invest via a bank draft program or, except as described below, while the Asset Rebalancing Program is in effect.

The Dollar Cost Averaging does not ensure a profit nor guarantee against a loss in a declining market. There is no charge associated with participating in this program.

We may at different times offer additional or multiple Dollar Cost Averaging Programs, such as an Enhanced Dollar Cost Averaging Program. If elected, an Enhanced Dollar Cost Averaging Program would entitle you to an enhanced GIA interest rate for value, less applicable contract charges, allocated to the GIA (Net Value) for a specified period of time.

You may cancel an Enhanced Dollar Cost Averaging Program at any time. Choosing to cancel an Enhanced Dollar Cost Averaging Program prior to the end of your chosen program period will not change the enhanced GIA interest rate you are being credited.

All transfers under the Enhanced Dollar Cost Averaging Program will be processed on the basis of values next determined after receipt of the transfer request in good order. If that day falls on a holiday or weekend, then the transfer will be processed on the next succeeding business day.

In the event of an early cancellation the enhanced GIA rate will only be applied to the Net Value allocated to your program from the start date of your program to your cancellation date. The cancellation date is the valuation date we receive your cancellation request in good order at our Annuity Operations Division.

After the cancellation date, you may transfer the Net Value that was invested in the Enhanced Dollar Cost Averaging Program from the GIA to the investment options without being subject to the Maximum GIA Percentage.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or terminate any Dollar Cost Averaging Program we offer.

Use of Dollar Cost Averaging with Asset Rebalancing and Allocation Programs

If you elect an Optional Benefit after your contract is issued, you may not participate in any Dollar Cost Averaging or Asset Rebalancing program while the Optional Benefit is in effect. If you are currently in a program of this type, it will terminate on the date the Optional Benefit becomes effective.

If you elect to participate in the Franklin Templeton Perspectives Allocation Model, Franklin Templeton Founding Investment Strategy, or the Phoenix-Ibbotson Strategic Asset Allocation Program then you may also elect to participate in the following programs:

1. Dollar Cost Averaging or Enhanced Dollar Cost Averaging; and
2. Asset Rebalancing with monthly rebalancing in the Franklin Templeton Perspectives Allocation Model or the Franklin Templeton Founding Investment Strategy, or Asset Rebalancing with annual rebalancing in the Phoenix-Ibbotson Strategic Asset Allocation Program.

If you elect both the Enhanced Dollar Cost Averaging and the Asset Rebalancing Program, your entire dollar cost averaging transfer amount must be allocated to the Allocation Program in effect for your policy.

Interest Investment Program

We may at different times offer an Interest Investment Program. Under this program, interest earned on premium allocated to the GIA will automatically be transferred out to any of the investment options under the separate account.

You may elect to transfer interest earned on premium allocated to the GIA on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual basis. The amount that we transfer under the program will be based on the interest earned for the period you elect. We will process the automatic transfers on the first day of the month for the period that applies following our receipt of your transfer request. Should the first day of the applicable month fall on a holiday or weekend, we will process the transfer on the next business day.

You must have a value of $10,000 in the GIA at all times to keep this program in effect. If the value in the GIA drops below $10,000 for any reason, then no more automatic transfers will be processed under the program. To start or stop the Interest Investment Program, you must notify us at 800/541-0171 or send a written request to our Annuity Operations Division.

Transfers under the Interest Investment Program are not subject to the general restrictions on transfers from the GIA.

The Interest Investment Program is not available to individuals who invest via a bank draft program or while the Dollar Cost Averaging Program or Asset Rebalancing Program are in effect.

The Interest Investment Program does not ensure a profit nor guarantee against a loss in a declining market. There is no charge associated with participating in this program.

Systematic Withdrawal Program

Prior to the maturity date, you may partially withdraw amounts automatically on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual basis under the Systematic Withdrawal Program. You may withdraw a specified dollar amount or a specified percentage. The withdrawals are taken from the contract value with each investment option and the GIA bearing a pro rata share.

The minimum withdrawal amount is $100. Withdrawals will be processed on the date you specify (provided we receive the request in good order) unless the specified date falls on a holiday or weekend, in which case the transfers will occur on the next succeeding Valuation Date. If no date is specified by you, then withdrawals will be processed on each monthly contract anniversary. Any applicable premium tax and surrender charges will be applied to the withdrawal.

You may start or terminate this program by sending written instructions to our Annuity Operations Division. This program is not available on or after the maturity date. There is no charge associated with participation in this program. Withdrawals are subject to income tax on any gain plus a 10% penalty tax if the policyholder is under age 59½. See “Federal Income Taxes.”

Optional Benefits

For an additional charge, you may elect one of the optional benefits described below. Generally you must elect a benefit on the contract date unless otherwise stated. If we allow you to elect a benefit after the contract date, the effective date of the benefit will be the next contract anniversary immediately following your election. Some benefit elections are irrevocable; others can be cancelled at any time after the contract date.

Your ability to elect one of the optional benefits may be restricted by minimum and maximum issue age requirements, ownership and beneficiary limitations, and is subject to state availability and regulation. More details are included in the form of a rider to your contract if any of these benefits are chosen.

If you decide to elect any of the optional benefits you should carefully review their provisions to be sure the benefit is something that you want. You may wish to review these with your financial advisor.

Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (“GMIB”) Rider (Big Edge, Big Edge Plus,® Big Edge Choice® for New York contracts only)

This optional rider provides a benefit that guarantees minimum monthly fixed annuity payments. The minimum monthly fixed annuity payment amount is calculated by multiplying the guaranteed annuitization value by the annuity payment option rate for the annuity payment option selected under the rider.

The benefit provided by this rider will not be available until the later of 7 years after the rider is added to the contract (“rider date”) or the contract anniversary following the older Annuitant’s 60th birthday. For example, if you were age 40 when you bought the contract with the rider, the earliest you could exercise the benefit under the rider would be when you reached 60. While the benefit is available, you can only exercise it within 30 days following any contract anniversary. This benefit will not be available 30 days after the contract anniversary following the older Annuitant’s 90th birthday.

A fee for this benefit is deducted on each contract anniversary only if the benefit is selected. See “Deductions and Charges” above. Once your benefit is exercised, the fee will no longer be deducted. Currently, we only allow you to elect this rider on the Contract Date, but reserve the option to remove this restriction in the future. Election of this benefit rider is irrevocable. You should consult with a qualified financial advisor before you make your decision.

This benefit is not available to you if you are the beneficiary of a deceased Owner’s Contract and are utilizing this Contract as an Inherited/Stretch Annuity.

Guaranteed Annuitization Value

On and before the contract anniversary following the older annuitant’s 85th birthday, the guaranteed annuitization value shall be equal to the lesser of (i) the sum of (A plus B) minus (C plus D), or (ii) 200% of all premium payments minus the sum of the guaranteed annuitization value reductions, where:

A = the contract value on the rider date accumulated at an effective annual rate (as determined below in the provision entitled “Effective Annual Rate”) starting on the rider date and ending on the date the guaranteed annuitization value is calculated.
B = the sum of premium payments made after rider date minus any taxes paid, accumulated at an effective annual rate starting on the date each premium payment is applied to the contract and ending on the date the guaranteed annuitization value is calculated.
C = the sum of the guaranteed annuitization value reductions, accumulated at an effective annual rate starting on the date each withdrawal occurs and ending on the date the guaranteed annuitization value is calculated.
D = any tax that may be due.

After the contract anniversary following the older annuitant’s 85th birthday, the guaranteed annuitization value shall equal the lesser of (i) (A plus B) minus (C plus D), or (ii) 200% of all premium payments minus the sum of the guaranteed annuitization value reductions, where:

A = the guaranteed annuitization value on the contract anniversary following the older annuitant’s 85th birthday.
B = the sum of premium payments made after the contract anniversary following the older annuitant’s 85th birthday.
C = the sum of the guaranteed annuitization value reductions determined for withdrawals occurring after the contract anniversary following the older annuitant’s 85th birthday.
D = any tax that may be due.

Guaranteed Annuitization Value Reduction

A guaranteed annuitization value reduction is an amount determined for each withdrawal that occurs on or after the rider date. The reduction is equal to the guaranteed annuitization value immediately prior to a withdrawal, multiplied by the percentage reduction in contract value as a result of the withdrawal.

Effective Annual Rate

On the rider date, we will set the effective annual rate of accumulation to 5%. After the first contract year, this rate may be adjusted based on the value of the Guaranteed Interest Account (GIA) in relation to the total contract value as described below:

After the first contract year, we will reset the effective annual rate to 0% if the value of the GIA is greater than 40% of the total contract value on any of the following dates:

1. each date we process a premium payment.
2. each date we process a transfer.
3. each date we process a withdrawal.

Subsequently, we will raise the effective annual rate to 5% if the current effective annual rate is equal to 0% and the value of the GIA is less than or equal to 40% of the total contract value on any of the following dates:

1. each date we process a premium payment.
2. each date we process a transfer.
3. each date we process a withdrawal.
4. each contract anniversary.

Termination of This Rider

You may not terminate this rider by request. This rider will terminate on the first of any of the following events to occur:

1. the 30th day after the last contract anniversary that occurs after the older Annuitant’s 90th birthday;
2. the termination of the contract to which this rider is attached;
3. the date a death benefit becomes payable under the contract to which this rider is attached;
4. the date annuity payments commence under the contract to which this rider is attached; and
5. the death of the last surviving annuitant or joint annuitant named under this rider.

GMIB Annuity Payment Options

Under this rider, you may only elect one of the following annuity payment options:

GMIB Option A — Life Annuity with Specified Period Certain: a fixed annuity payable monthly while the annuitant named under this rider is living or, if later, until the end of the specified period certain. The period certain may be specified as 5, 10 or 20 years. The period certain must be specified on the date the benefit is exercised. If the annuitant dies prior to the end of the period certain, the remaining period certain annuity payments will continue. No monthly payment, death benefit or refund is payable if any annuitant dies after the end of the period certain. This option is not available if the life expectancy of the annuitant is less than the period certain on the date the benefit is exercised.

GMIB Option B — Non-Refund Life Annuity: a fixed annuity payable monthly while any annuitant named under this rider is living. No monthly payment, death benefit or refund is payable after the death of the annuitant.

GMIB Option D — Joint and Survivorship Life Annuity: a fixed annuity payable monthly while either the annuitant or joint annuitant named under this rider is living. This option is only available if the annuitant and joint annuitant named under this rider are both alive on the date the benefit is exercised. No monthly payment, death benefit or refund is payable after the death of the surviving annuitant.

GMIB Option F — Joint and Survivorship Life Annuity with 10-Year Period Certain: a fixed annuity payable monthly while either the annuitant or joint annuitant named under this rider is living, or if later, the end of ten years. This option is only available if the annuitant and joint annuitant named under this rider are both alive on the date the benefit is exercised. If the surviving annuitant dies prior to the end of the 10-year period certain, the remaining period certain annuity payments will continue. No monthly payment, death benefit or refund is payable if the surviving annuitant dies after the end of the 10-year period certain. This option is not available if the life expectancy of the older annuitant is less than 10 years on the date the benefit is exercised.

Payment Upon Death After Maturity Date

If an owner who also is the annuitant dies on or after the maturity date, except as may otherwise be provided under any supplementary contract between the owner and us, we will pay to the owner/annuitant’s beneficiary any annuity payments due during any applicable period certain under the annuity option in effect on the annuitant’s death. If the annuitant who is not the owner dies on or after the maturity date, we will pay any remaining annuity payments to the annuitant’s beneficiary according to the payment option in effect at the time of the annuitant’s death. If an owner who is not the annuitant dies on or after the maturity date, we will pay any remaining annuity payments to the owner’s beneficiary according to the payment option in effect at the time of the owner’s death.

For contracts issued outside of an Individual Retirement Account/Annuity or a qualified plan, the payments to the beneficiary must be made at least as rapidly as the payments were being made to the owner.

(For information regarding the Inherited/Stretch Annuity feature of this Contract, see the section of this prospectus entitled “Inherited/Stretch Annuity Feature.”)


Important information regarding the GMIB

While the GMIB does provide guaranteed minimum fixed annuity payments, it may not be appropriate for all investors and should be understood completely before you elect it.

The GMIB does not provide contract value or in any way guarantee the investment performance of any investment option available under the contract. The GMIB is irrevocable once elected. You may not change any annuitant or joint annuitant while the GMIB is in effect. The GMIB does not restrict or limit your right to annuitize at other times permitted under the contract, but doing so will terminate the GMIB. You should consult with a qualified financial advisor if you are considering the GMIB. The GMIB is only available if approved in your state and if we offer it for use with the contract. The minimum monthly fixed annuity payment amount under the GMIB may be less than the annuity payment amount under the Contract even if the guaranteed annuitization value is greater than contract value.


Surrender of Contract and Withdrawals

If the annuitant is living, amounts held under the contract may be withdrawn in whole or in part prior to the Maturity Date, or after the Maturity Date under Variable Annuity Payment Options K or L.

Prior to the Maturity Date, you may withdraw up to 10% of the Contract Value in a contract year, either in a lump sum or by multiple scheduled or unscheduled withdrawals, without the imposition of a surrender charge. During the first contract year, the 10% withdrawal without a surrender charge is available only on contracts issued on or after May 1, 1996, and will be determined based on the Contract Value at the time of the first partial withdrawal. In all subsequent years, the 10% will be based on the previous contract anniversary value. Withdrawals are subject to income tax on any gain plus a 10% penalty tax if the policyholder is under age 59 ½. See “Federal Income Taxes.”

The appropriate number of Accumulation Units of an investment option will be redeemed at their value next determined after the receipt by our Annuity Operations Division of a written notice in a form satisfactory to us. Accumulation units redeemed in a partial withdrawal from multiple investment options will be redeemed on a pro rata basis unless you designate otherwise. Contract Values in the GIA will also be withdrawn on a pro rata basis unless you designate otherwise. The resulting cash payment will be made in a single sum, ordinarily within seven days after receipt of such notice. However, redemption and payment may be delayed under certain circumstances. See “Payment Deferral.” Certain restrictions on redemptions are imposed on contracts used in connection with Internal Revenue Code Section 403(b) plans. A deduction for surrender charges may be imposed on partial withdrawals from, and complete surrender of, a contract. See “Surrender Charges.” Any surrender charge imposed is deducted from amounts withdrawn. The surrender charge is calculated on a first-in, first-out basis. In other words, we calculate your surrender charge by assuming your withdrawal is applied to premium payments in the order your premium payments were received.

You must sign a form satisfactory to us to take a withdrawal, surrender, or replace your contract. For your protection, the form must be requested from our Operations Division by you or your agent. The form requested and sent to you for that particular transaction must be returned to the address specified on the form, in order to process the transaction. For your protection, we require a signature guarantee for surrenders, partial withdrawals, or loans (if your contract provides for loans) over $100,000.

Contract Termination

The contract will terminate without value, if on any valuation date:

the contract value is zero; or the premium tax reimbursement due on surrender or partial withdrawals is greater than or equal to the contract value (unless any contract value has been applied under one of the variable payment options).

Phoenix will notify you in writing that the contract has terminated.

Payment Upon Death Before Maturity Date

Who Receives Payment
  • Death of an Owner/Annuitant

If the owner/annuitant dies before the contract maturity date, the death benefit will be paid under the contract to the owner/annuitant’s beneficiary. If the spouse is the beneficiary, see Spousal Beneficiary Contract Continuance.

  • Death of an Annuitant who is not the Owner

If the owner and the annuitant are not the same and the annuitant dies prior to the maturity date, the contingent annuitant becomes the annuitant and the contract continues. If there is no contingent annuitant, the death benefit will be paid to the annuitant’s beneficiary.

  • Death of Owner who is not the Annuitant

If the owner is not the annuitant dies before the contract maturity date, the death benefit will be paid under the contract to the owner’s beneficiary, unless the beneficiary is the spouse. The survival of the annuitant does not affect this payment. If the spouse is the beneficiary, see Spousal Beneficiary Contract Continuance.

  • Spousal Beneficiary Contract Continuance

If the owner/annuitant or owner non-annuitant dies and the spouse of the owner is the beneficiary, the spousal beneficiary can continue the contract as the contract owner.

  • Qualified Contracts

Under qualified contracts, the death benefit is paid at the death of the participant who is the annuitant under the contract.

Death benefit payments must satisfy distribution rules. See “Federal Income Taxes—Qualified Plans.”

  • Ownership of the Contract by a Non-Natural Person

If the owner is not an individual, the death of the primary annuitant is treated as the death of the owner.

Payment Amount
  • Upon the Death of the Annuitant or Owner/Annuitant who has not yet reached the Maturity Date (age 85)

Death occurring in the first 6-year period following the contract date—the greater of:

a. 100% of payments, less any withdrawals; or
b. the contract value as of the claim date.

Death occurring in any subsequent 6-year period—the greater of:

a. the death benefit that would have been payable at the end of the previous 6-year period, plus any payments, less any withdrawals made since that date; or
b. the contract value as of the claim date.
  • After the Maturity Date (Annuitant’s 85th birthday)

The death benefit (less any deferred premium tax) equals the contract value (no surrender charge is imposed) on the claim date.

  • Death of an Owner who is not the Annuitant

Upon the death of an owner who is not the annuitant, the death proceeds will be paid to the owner’s beneficiary. The death benefit is equal to the cash surrender value.

There are a number of options for payment of the death benefit, including lump sum, systematic withdrawals and annuity. If the death benefit amount to be paid is less than $2,000, it will be paid in a single lump sum. Depending upon state law, the death benefit payment to the beneficiary may be subject to state inheritance or estate taxes and we may be required to pay such taxes prior to distribution. There are specific Internal Revenue Code requirements regarding payment of the death benefits, see’ Federal Income Taxes.” A recipient should consult a legal or tax adviser in selecting among the death benefit payment options.

Death Benefit proceeds will be payable in a single lump sum. At the time of payment, you may elect to have the full death benefit amount sent to you or to have the proceeds credited to the Phoenix Concierge Account (“PCA”), an interesting bearing checking account with check writing privileges. If you do not affirmatively elect to have the full death benefit amount sent to you, the PCA will become the default method of payment when the death claim is greater than or equal to $5,000 and the beneficiary is an individual, trust or estate. The PCA is generally not offered to corporations or similar entities. You may opt out of the PCA at any time by writing a check from the PCA for the full amount of your balance or by calling our Annuity Service Center.

The PCA is not insured by the FDIC, NSUSIF, or any other state or federal agency which insures deposits. The guarantee of principal is based on the claims-paying ability of the company.

Big Edge Choice® for New York Contracts

New York individual contracts issued on or after May 1, 1997, have certain differences from the other individual contracts described in this prospectus. Other than the differences noted in this section, the contracts are the same as other individual contracts. These differences are reflected in the “Summary of Expenses for Big Edge Choice® for New York contracts.”

Surrender Charges

A deduction for surrender charges for these contracts may be taken from proceeds of partial withdrawals or complete surrender of the contract. The amount (if any) of a surrender charge depends on whether your payments are held under the contract for a certain period of time. The surrender charge is designed to recover the expense of distributing contracts that are terminated before distribution expenses have been recouped from revenue generated by these contracts. These are contingent charges because they are paid only if you surrender your contract. They are deferred charges because they are not deducted from premiums. The surrender charge schedule is shown in the chart below. No surrender charge will be taken after the annuity period has begun, except with respect to unscheduled withdrawals under Options K or L. See “Annuity Payment Options.” A surrender charge is not imposed on amounts payable because of the death of the annuitant or owner. Surrender Charges will also be waived when you begin taking annuity payments provided your contract has been in effect for five years.

Up to 10% of the contract value may be withdrawn in a contract year, either in a lump sum or by multiple scheduled or unscheduled amounts, without imposition of a surrender charge. During the first contract year, the 10% withdrawal without a surrender charge will be based on the contract value at the time of the first partial withdrawal. In subsequent years, the 10% will be based on the previous contract anniversary value. The deduction for surrender charges, expressed as a percentage of the amounts redeemed greater than the 10% allowable amount up to a maximum of the total premium is as follows:

Percent 7% 6% 5% 4% 3% 2% 1% 0%
Age of Payment in Complete Years 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7+

If the annuitant or owner dies before the maturity date, the surrender charge described in the table above will not apply.

Daily Administrative Fee

We also charge each investment option the daily equivalent of 0.125% annually to cover its variable costs of administration (such as printing and distribution of materials pertaining to contract owner meetings). This fee is not deducted from the GIA, from contracts sold to registered representatives of PEPCO or broker-dealers with whom PEPCO has selling agreements, to officers, directors and employees of Phoenix or its affiliates and their spouses or to employees or agents who retire from Phoenix or its affiliates or PEPCO.

Maturity Date

The maturity date cannot be earlier than five years from the inception of the contract, or later than the contract anniversary nearest the annuitant’s 90th birthday.

Ownership of the Contract

Joint ownership of the contract is not permitted.

Payment Upon Death Before Maturity Date

Who Receives Payment

Death of an Owner/Annuitant

If the owner/annuitant dies before the contract maturity date, the death benefit will be paid under the contract to the owner/annuitant’s beneficiary. If the spouse is the beneficiary, see Spousal Beneficiary Contract Continuance.

Death of an Annuitant who is not the Owner

If the owner and the annuitant are not the same and the annuitant dies prior to the maturity date, the contingent annuitant becomes the annuitant and the contract continues. If there is no contingent annuitant, the death benefit will be paid to the annuitant’s beneficiary.

Death of Owner who is not the Annuitant

If the owner is not the annuitant dies before the contract maturity date, the death benefit will be paid under the contract to the owner’s beneficiary, unless the beneficiary is the spouse. The survival of the annuitant does not affect this payment. If the spouse is the beneficiary, see Spousal Beneficiary Contract Continuance.

Spousal Beneficiary Contract Continuance

If the owner/annuitant or owner non-annuitant dies and the spouse of the owner is the beneficiary, the spousal beneficiary can continue the contract as the annuitant.

Qualified Contracts

Under qualified contracts, the death benefit is paid at the death of the participant who is the annuitant under the contract.

Death benefit payments must satisfy distribution rules. See “Federal Income Taxes—Qualified Plans.”

Ownership of the Contract by a Non-Natural Person

If the owner is not an individual, the death of the primary annuitant is treated as the death of the owner.

Payment Amount

Upon the Death of the Annuitant or Owner/Annuitant who has net yet reached the Maturity Date (age 85)

1. Death occurring in the first contract year—the greater of:
a. 100% of payments, less any withdrawals; or
b. the contract value as of the claim date.
2. Death occurring in any subsequent contract year—the greater of:
a. the death benefit that would have been payable at the end of the previous contract year, plus any payments, less any withdrawals made since that date; or
b. the contract value as of the claim date.
After the Maturity Date (Annuitant’s 85th birthday)

The death benefit (less any deferred premium tax) equals the contract value (no surrender charge is imposed) on the claim date.

Death of an Owner who is not the Annuitant

Upon the death of an owner who is not the annuitant, the death proceeds will be paid to the owner’s beneficiary. The death benefit is the greater of:

1. 100% of payments, less any withdrawals; or
2. the contract value as of the claim date.

Death benefit proceeds will be payable in a single lump sum or under specified annuity or systematic withdrawal options. For lump sum payments you may elect to have the full death benefit amount sent to you or to have the proceeds credited to the Phoenix Concierge Account (“PCA”), an interest bearing checking account with check writing privileges. If you do not affirmatively elect to have the full death benefit amount sent to you, the PCA will become default method of payment when the death claim is greater than or equal to $5,000 and the beneficiary is an individual, trust or estate. The PCA is generally not offered to corporations or similar entities. You may opt out of the PCA at any time by writing a check from the PCA for the full amount of your balance or by calling our Annuity Service Center.

The PCA is not insured by the FDIC, NSUSIF, or any other state or federal agency which insures deposits. The guarantee of principal is based on the claims-paying ability of the company.

Transfers

A contract owner may request transfers or allocation changes in writing only. Transfers or allocation changes may not be made by telephone.

Group Strategic Edge® Contracts

Contracts may be purchased by employers (or trusts) to fund tax-qualified pension or profit-sharing plans such as defined contribution and defined benefit plans (“group contracts”). Group contracts may be purchased on an “allocated” or “unallocated” basis. In most respects, group contracts are the same as the contracts purchased on an individual basis described elsewhere in this prospectus; however, there are certain differences as described in this section. We may limit the payments made under a group contract to $1,000,000 and reserve the right to terminate a group contract after 20 years. Under the Dollar Cost Averaging Program, you may transfer approximately equal amounts from the GIA over a period of 18 months or longer. Please note that group contracts cannot participate in the optional Asset Rebalancing Program, Interest Investment Program, Enhanced Dollar Cost Averaging Program, and/or the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit Rider.

Allocated Group Contracts

Under an allocated group contract, the contract owner is the trust to whom the contract is issued. However, individual participant accounts are maintained and the contract owner passes on certain rights to the plan participants such as the right to choose investment options, and transfer amounts between investment options.

Under an allocated group contract, a minimum initial purchase payment of $25 per participant account is required. Subsequent payments per participant account must be at least $25 and must total at least $300 per contract year. The annual administrative service charge under an allocated group contract is currently $15 per participant account; it is guaranteed not to exceed $30.

If withdrawals occur within a certain number of years after deposit, a surrender charge will apply. (Please see description in section “Deductions and Charges—Surrender Charges”).

Allocated group contracts do not have a 10% free withdrawal privilege. A surrender charge will not be applied if the withdrawal is for one of the following:

death of a participant disability demonstration of financial hardship separation from service or retirement (participant account has been maintained for a minimum of 5 years or age 55 or older) participant loan purchase of:
  • annuity contract
  • retired life certificate
  • election of life expectancy distribution option

Under group contracts issued in New York, the surrender charge will not be applied to amounts exceeding the total of payments made under the contract (calculated at their initial value). In addition, if the contract has been in force for at least 20 years and Phoenix terminates the contract, no surrender charge will apply.

Not more than four transfers may be made from the GIA in any Participant Account Year and only one such transfer may be made in any 3-consecutive month period. The amount of such transfers out of the GIA in any one Participant Account Year may not exceed the greater of $1,000 or 25% of the Participant Account Value in the GIA as of the last day of the prior Participant Account Year.

Upon the death of a participant, a death benefit will be paid to the contract owner. The contract owner may then distribute the death benefit in accordance with the terms of the plan. If the death occurred during the first six years following the contract date, this payment would be equal to the greater of: (a) the sum of all purchase payments made by the participant less any prior withdrawals or (b) the participant’s accumulated value under the contract. If the death occurred during any subsequent six-year period, this payment would equal the greater of: (a) the death benefit that would have been payable at the end of the immediately preceding six-year period, plus any payments made and less any partial withdrawals since such date or (b) the participant’s accumulated value under the contract.

Loans and hardship withdrawals will be available under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 Section 401(k) plans after January 1, 1996. If the plan permits loans, a partial withdrawal from the participant’s contract value may be requested. The partial withdrawal for the loan must be at least $1,000 and the participant’s remaining contract value must be at least $2,000. A contingent deferred sales charge will not apply to such a partial withdrawal. A $125 administrative charge per partial withdrawal will apply and this amount may be increased in the future. Loan repayments, including any interest, will be allocated to the participant’s investment options in the same proportion as new payments. A plan loan partial withdrawal may not be made if a plan loan partial withdrawal is currently outstanding with respect to that Participant.

Unallocated Group Contracts

Under an unallocated group contract, the contract owner is the trust to whom the contract is issued. The contract owner exercises all rights under the contract on behalf of plan participants; no participant accounts are maintained under the contract.

Under an unallocated group contract, a minimum initial purchase payment of $5,000 is required and subsequent payments also must be at least $5,000. The annual administrative service charge under an unallocated group contract is currently $300; it is guaranteed not to exceed $500.

If amounts are withdrawn in the early contract years, a surrender charge may apply unless the withdrawal is for the payment of a plan benefit related to the death or disability of a plan participant or the purchase of an individual annuity contract or Life Expectancy Distribution option from Phoenix.

A deduction for a surrender charge for an unallocated group contract may be taken from the proceeds of a withdrawal from, or complete surrender of, the contract if the withdrawal is not related to the payment of a plan benefit or the purchase of an annuity as described above and the contract has not been held for a certain period of time (see chart below). However, withdrawals up to 15% of the payments made under a contract in the first contract year and up to 15% of the contract value as of the previous contract anniversary may be made each year without imposition of a surrender charge for payment of plan benefits related to termination of employment or retirement. The deduction for surrender charges, expressed as a percentage of the amount withdrawn in excess of the 15% allowable amount, is as follows:

Percent 6% 5% 4% 3% 3% 2% 1%
Age of Payment in Complete Years 0-4 5 6 7 8 9 10+

Under group contracts issued in New York, the surrender charge will not be applied to amounts exceeding the total of purchase payments made under the contract (calculated at their initial value). In addition, if the contract has been in force for at least 20 years and Phoenix terminates the contract, no surrender charge will apply.

Upon the death of a participant, a death benefit will be paid to the contract owner. The contract owner may then distribute the death benefit in accordance with the terms of the plan.

Internet, Interactive Voice Response and Telephone Transfers

You may transfer your contract value among the available investment options and make changes to your premium payment allocations by Internet, Interactive Voice Response or telephone. The Company may discontinue any of these options and may provide other options at any time.

Phoenix and Phoenix Equity Planning Corporation (“PEPCO”), our national distributor, will use reasonable procedures to confirm that transfer instructions are genuine. We require verification of account information and will record telephone instructions on tape. You will receive written confirmation of all transfers. Phoenix and PEPCO may be liable for following unauthorized instructions if we fail to follow our established security procedures. However, you will bear the risk of a loss resulting from instructions entered by an unauthorized third party that Phoenix and PEPCO reasonably believe to be genuine.

We may modify or terminate your transfer and allocation privileges at any time. You may find it difficult to exercise these privileges during times of extreme market volatility. In such a case, you should submit your request in writing.

Prior to the maturity date of your contract, you may elect to transfer all or any part of the contract value among one or more investment options or the GIA subject to the limitations established for the GIA. A transfer from an investment option will result in the redemption of accumulation units and, if another investment option is selected, in the purchase of accumulation units. The exchange will be based on the values of the accumulation units next determined after the receipt by our Annuity Operations Division of notice of election in a form satisfactory to us. A transfer among investment options or the GIA does not automatically change the payment allocation schedule of your contract.

You may also request transfers and changes in payment allocations among available investment options or the GIA by calling us at 800/541-0171 between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on any valuation date, or by writing to the address listed on the first page of this prospectus. You may permit your registered representative to submit transfer requests on your behalf. If you have authorized your registered representative to make transfers on your behalf, he or she may submit your transfer request in a batch of requests for multiple policy owners. Like an individual transfer request, the transfer request must be submitted in good order to be processed. We will employ reasonable procedures to confirm that transfer instructions are genuine. We will require verification of account information and will record telephone instructions on tape. All transfer and allocation changes will be confirmed in writing to you. To the extent that procedures reasonably designed to prevent unauthorized transfers are not followed, we may be liable for following transfer instructions for transfers that prove to be fraudulent. However, you will bear the risk of loss resulting from instructions entered by an unauthorized third party we reasonably believe to be genuine. These transfer exchange and allocation change privileges may be modified or terminated at any time on a case by case basis. In particular, during times of extreme market volatility, transfer privileges may be difficult to exercise. In such cases you should submit written instructions.

Unless we otherwise agree or unless the Dollar Cost Averaging Program has been elected, you may make only one transfer per contract year from the GIA. Nonsystematic transfers from the GIA will be made on the date of receipt by our Annuity Operations Division except as you may otherwise request. For nonsystematic transfers, the amount that may be transferred from the GIA at any one time cannot exceed the greater of $1,000 or 25% of the contract value in the GIA at the time of transfer.

No surrender charge will be assessed when a transfer is made. The date a premium payment was originally credited for the purpose of calculating the surrender charge will remain the same. Currently, there is no charge for transfers; however, we reserve the right to charge a transfer fee of up to $20 per transfer after the first 12 transfers in each contract year to defray administrative costs. There are additional restrictions on transfers from the GIA as described above and in the section titled, “GIA.”

Market Timing and Other Disruptive Trading

We discourage market timing activity, frequent transfers of contract value among investment options and other activity determined to be “Disruptive Trading”, as described below. Your ability to make transfers among investment options under the policy is subject to modification if we determine, in our sole opinion, that your exercise of the transfer privilege constitutes “Disruptive Trading” that may disadvantage or potentially harm the rights or interests of other policy owners.

“Disruptive Trading” includes, but is not limited to: frequent purchases, redemptions and transfers; transfers into and then out of an investment option in a short period of time; and transfers of large amounts at one time. The risks and harmful effects of Disruptive Trading include:

dilution of the interests of long-term investors in an investment option, if market timers or others transfer into or out of the investment option rapidly in order to take advantage of market price fluctuations; an adverse affect on portfolio management, as determined by portfolio management in its sole discretion, such as causing the underlying fund to maintain a higher level of cash than would otherwise be the case, or causing the underlying fund to liquidate investments prematurely; and increased brokerage and administrative expenses.

To protect our policy owners and the underlying funds from Disruptive Trading, we have adopted certain policies and procedures.

Under our Disruptive Trading policy, we can modify your transfer privileges for some or all of the investment options. Modifications include, but are not limited to, not accepting a transfer request from you or from any person, asset allocation service, and/or market timing service made on your behalf. We may also limit the amount that may be transferred into or out of any investment option at any one time. Unless prohibited by the terms of your policy, we may (but are not obligated to):

limit the dollar amount and frequency of transfers (e.g., prohibit more than one transfer a week, or more than two a month, etc.), restrict the method of making a transfer (e.g., require that all transfers into a particular investment option be sent to our Service Center by first class U.S. mail and/or rescind telephone, internet, IVR or fax transfer privileges), require a holding period for some investment options (e.g., prohibit transfers into a particular investment option within a specified period of time after a transfer out of that investment option), implement and administer redemption fees imposed by one or more of the underlying funds, or impose other limitations or restrictions.

Currently we attempt to detect Disruptive Trading by monitoring both the dollar amount of individual transfers and the frequency of a policy owner’s transfers. With respect to both dollar amount and frequency, we may consider an individual transfer alone or when combined with transfers from other policies owned by or under the control or influence of the same individual or entity. If you have authorized your registered representative to make transfers on your behalf, he or she may submit your transfer request in a batch of requests for multiple policy owners. We monitor these transfers on an individual basis, rather than on a batch basis. We currently review transfer activity on a regular basis. We also consider any concerns brought to our attention by the managers of the underlying funds. We may change our monitoring procedures at any time without notice.

Because we reserve discretion in applying these policies, they may not be applied uniformly. However, we will to the best of our ability apply these policies uniformly. Consequently, there is a risk that some policy owners could engage in Disruptive Trading while others will bear the effects of their activity.

Currently we attempt to detect Disruptive Trading by monitoring activity for all policies. Possible Disruptive Trading activity may result in our sending a warning letter advising the owner of our concern. Regardless of whether a warning letter is sent, once we determine that Disruptive Trading activity has occurred, we may revoke the owner’s right to make Internet and Interactive Voice Response (IVR) transfers. We will notify policy owners in writing (by mail to their address of record on file with us) if we limit their trading.

We have adopted these policies and procedures as a preventative measure to protect all policy owners from the potential affects of Disruptive Trading, while recognizing the need for policy holders to have available reasonable and convenient methods of making transfers that do not have the potential to harm other policy owners.

We currently do not make any exceptions to the policies and procedures discussed above to detect and deter Disruptive Trading. We may reinstate Internet, IVR, telephone and fax transfer privileges after they are revoked, but we will not reinstate these privileges if we have reason to believe that they might be used thereafter for Disruptive Trading.

We cannot guarantee that our monitoring will be 100% successful in detecting and restricting all transfer activity that constitutes Disruptive Trading. Moreover, we cannot guarantee that revoking or limiting a policy owner’s Internet, IVR, telephone and fax transfer privileges will successfully deter all Disruptive Trading. In addition, some of the underlying funds are available to insurance companies other than Phoenix and we do not know whether those other insurance companies have adopted any policies and procedures to detect and deter Disruptive Trading, or if so what those policies and procedures might be. Because we may not be able to detect or deter all Disruptive Trading and because some of these funds are available through other insurance companies, some policy owners may be treated differently than others, resulting in the risk that some policy owners could engage in Disruptive Trading while others will bear the effects of their activity.

Orders for the purchase of underlying fund shares are subject to acceptance by the relevant fund. Phoenix has entered into information sharing agreements with the underlying funds of this variable product as required by Rule 22c-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The purpose of the information sharing is to provide information to the underlying funds so that they can monitor, warn, and restrict policyholders who may be engaging in disruptive trading practices as determined by the underlying funds. We reserve the right to reject, without prior notice, any transfer request into any investment option if the purchase of shares in the corresponding underlying fund is not accepted for any reason. We may, without prior notice, take whatever action we deem appropriate to comply with or take advantage of any state or federal regulatory requirement.

We do not include transfers made pursuant to the Dollar Cost Averaging, Automatic Asset Rebalancing or other similar programs when applying our Disruptive Trading policy.

The Annuity Period

The annuity period begins after the accumulation period of the contract, when annuity payments are made to you.

Annuity Payments

Annuity payments will begin on the contract’s maturity date if the annuitant is alive and the contract is still in force. Beginning on the maturity date, investment in the Account is continued unless a Fixed Payment Annuity is elected.

Surrender Charges will be waived when you begin taking annuity payments provided your contract has been in effect for five years. Each contract will provide, at the time of its issuance, for a Variable Payment Life Annuity with 10-Year Period Certain unless a different annuity option is elected by you. See “Annuity Payment Options.” Under a Variable Payment Life Annuity with 10-Year Period Certain, annuity payments, which may vary in amount based on the performance of the investment option selected, are made monthly for life and, if the annuitant dies within ten years after the maturity date, the annuitant’s beneficiary will be paid the payments remaining in the 10-year period. A different form of annuity may be elected by you prior to the maturity date. Once annuity payments have commenced, the Annuity Option may not be changed.

If the amount to be applied on the maturity date is less than $2,000, we may pay such amount in one lump sum in lieu of providing an annuity. If the initial monthly annuity payment under an Annuity Payment Option would be less than $20, we may make a single sum payment equal to the total contract value on the date the initial payment would be payable, or make periodic payments quarterly, semiannually or annually in place of monthly payments.

Each contract specifies a provisional maturity date at the time of its issuance. You may subsequently elect a different maturity date. Generally, the maturity date may not be earlier than the fifth contract anniversary or later than the contract anniversary nearest the annuitant’s 95th birthday unless the contract is issued in connection with certain qualified plans or IRAs. Generally, under qualified plans or IRAs, the maturity date must be such that distributions begin no later than April 1st of the calendar year following the later of: (a) the year in which the employee attains age 70 1/2 or (b) the calendar year in which the employee retires. The date set forth in (b) does not apply to an IRA. A policyholder can defer the maturity date to a later date if we receive documentation concerning the policyholder’s satisfaction with the Internal Revenue Code Required Minimum Distributions. See “Federal Income Taxes”.

The maturity date election must be made by written notice and must be received by our Annuity Operations Division 30 days before the provisional maturity date. If a maturity date, which is different from the provisional maturity date, is not elected by you, the provisional maturity date becomes the maturity date.

Annuity Payment Options

Unless an alternative annuity payment option is elected on or before the maturity date, the amounts held under a contract on the maturity date automatically will be applied to provide a Life Annuity with a Specified Period Certain based on the life of the annuitant under Option A as described below. Any annuity payments falling due after the death of the annuitant during the period certain will be paid to the annuitant’s beneficiary. Each annuity payment will be based upon the value of the annuity units credited to the contract. The number of annuity units in each investment option to be credited is based on the value of the accumulation units in that investment option and the applicable annuity payment rate. The contract is issued with guaranteed minimum annuity payment rates; however, if the current rate is higher, we’ll apply the higher rate. The payment rate differs according to the annuity payment option selected and the age of the annuitant. The annuity payment rate is applied and will determine all payments for the fixed annuity payment options and the first payment for the variable annuity payment options. The value of the annuity units will vary with the investment performance of each investment option to which annuity units are credited.

The initial payment will be calculated based on an assumed investment return of 4.5% per year. This rate is a fulcrum return around which variable annuity payments will vary to reflect whether actual investment experience of the investment option is better or worse than the assumed investment return. The assumed investment return is set at the time of your first annuity payment. If investment performance is higher than the assumed investment return, your subsequent annuity payments will be larger than your first annuity payment. However, if investment performance is lower than the assumed investment rate, your subsequent annuity payments will be less than the first annuity payment. If the assumed and actual investment performances are the same, your annuity payments will be level. The assumed investment return and the calculation of variable annuity payments for a 10-year period certain variable payment life annuity and for Annuity Payment Options J and K described below are described in more detail in the contract and in the SAI.

Instead of the period certain life annuity (see “Option A—Life Annuity with a Specified Period Certain”), you may, by written request received by our Annuity Operations Division (AOD), PO Box 8027, Boston, MA 02266-8027 on or before the maturity date of the contract, elect any of the other annuity payment options described below. If the maturity date occurs in the first contract year, only Options I, J, K, L, M or N may be elected. No surrender charge will be assessed under any annuity payment option, unless unscheduled withdrawals are made under Annuity Options K or L.

The level of annuity payments payable under the following annuity payment options is based upon the option selected. In addition, factors such as the age at which payments begin, the form of annuity, annuity payment rates, assumed investment rate (for variable payment annuities) and the frequency of payments will affect the level of annuity payments. The longer the duration, and more frequent the payments, the lower the annuity payment amount. The assumed investment rate is 4.5% per year. We use this rate to determine the first payment under Variable Payment Annuity Options I, J, K, M and N.

We deduct a daily charge for mortality and expense risks and a daily administrative fee from contract values held in the investment options. See “Charges for Mortality and Expense Risks” and “Charges for Administrative Services.” Therefore, electing Option K will result in a deduction being made even though we assume no mortality risk under that option.

The following are descriptions of the annuity payment options available under a contract. These descriptions should allow you to understand the basic differences between the options, however, you should contact our Annuity Operations Division well in advance of the date you wish to elect an option to obtain estimates of annuity payments under each option.

Option A—Life Annuity with Specified Period Certain

Provides a monthly income for the life of the annuitant. In the event of death of the annuitant, the annuity income will be paid to the beneficiary until the end of the specified period certain. For example, a 10-year period certain will provide a total of 120 monthly payments. The certain period may be 5, 10 or 20 years.

Option B—Non-Refund Life Annuity

Provides a monthly income for the lifetime of the annuitant. No income is payable after the death of the annuitant.

Option D—Joint and Survivor Life Annuity

Provides a monthly income for the lifetimes of both the annuitant and a joint annuitant as long as either is living. In the event of the death of the annuitant or joint annuitant, the annuity income will continue for the life of the survivor. The amount to be paid to the survivor is 100% of the amount of the joint annuity payment, as elected at the time the annuity payment option is chosen. No income is payable after the death of the surviving annuitant.

Under Option D, the joint annuitant must be named at the time this option is elected and cannot be changed. The joint annuitant must have reached an adjusted age of 40, as defined in the contract.

Option E—Installment Refund Life Annuity

Provides a monthly income for the life of the annuitant. In the event of the annuitant’s death, the annuity income will continue to the annuitant’s beneficiary until the amount applied to purchase the annuity has been distributed.

Option F—Joint and Survivor Life Annuity with 10-Year Period Certain

Provides a monthly income for the lifetime of both the annuitant and a joint annuitant as long as either is living. In the event of the death of the annuitant or joint annuitant, the annuity income will continue for the life of the survivor. If the survivor dies prior to the end of the 10-year period, the annuity income will continue to the named beneficiary until the end of the 10-year period certain.

Under Option F, the joint annuitant must be named at the time this option is elected and cannot be changed. The joint annuitant must have reached an adjusted age of 40, as defined in the contract.

Option G—Payments for Specified Period

Provides equal income installments for a specified period of years whether the annuitant lives or dies. Any specified whole number of years from 5 to 30 years may be elected.

Option H—Payments of Specified Amount

Provides equal installments of a specified amount over a period of at least five years. The specified amount may not be greater than the total annuity amount divided by five annual installment payments. If the annuitant dies prior to the end of the elected period certain, annuity payments will continue to the annuitant’s beneficiary until the end of the elected period certain.

Option I—Variable Payment Life Annuity with 10-Year Period Certain

Provides a variable payout monthly annuity for the life of the annuitant. In the event of the death of the annuitant, during the first 10 years after payout commences, the annuity payments are made to the annuitant’s beneficiary until the end of that 10-year period. The 10-year period provides a total of 120 monthly payments. Payments will vary as to dollar amount, based on the investment experience of the investment options in which proceeds are invested.

Option J—Joint Survivor Variable Payment Life Annuity with 10-Year Period Certain

Provides a variable payout monthly annuity while the annuitant and the designated joint annuitant are living and continues thereafter during the lifetime of the survivor or, if later, until the end of a 10-year period certain. Payments will vary as to dollar amount, based on the investment experience of the investment options in which proceeds are invested. The joint annuitant must be named at the time this option is elected and cannot be changed. The joint annuitant must have reached an adjusted age of 40, as defined in the contract. This option is not available for payment of any death benefit under the contract.

Option K—Variable Payment Annuity for a Specified Period

Provides variable payout monthly income installments for a specified period of time, whether the annuitant lives or dies. The period certain specified must be in whole numbers of years from 5 to 30. However, the period certain selected by the beneficiary of any death benefit under the contract may not extend beyond the life expectancy of such beneficiary. A contract owner may at anytime request unscheduled withdrawals representing part or all of the remaining contract value less any applicable contingent deferred surrender charge. For details, see “Variable Annuity Payments” and “Calculation of Annuity Payments” in the SAI.

Option L—Variable Payment Life Expectancy Annuity

Provides a variable payout monthly income payable over the annuitant’s annually recalculated life expectancy or the annually recalculated life expectancy of the annuitant and joint annuitant. A contract owner may at anytime request unscheduled withdrawals representing part or all of the remaining contract value less any applicable contingent deferred surrender charge. Upon the death of the annuitant (and joint annuitant, if there is a joint annuitant), the remaining contract value will be paid in a lump sum to the annuitant’s beneficiary. For details, see “Variable Annuity Payments” and “Calculation of Annuity Payments” in the SAI.

Option M—Unit Refund Variable Payment Life Annuity

Provides variable monthly payments as long as the annuitant lives. If the annuitant dies, the annuitant’s beneficiary will receive the value of the remaining annuity units in a lump sum.

Option N—Variable Payment Non-Refund Life Annuity

Provides a variable monthly income for the life of the annuitant. No income or payment to a beneficiary is paid after the death of the annuitant.

Other Options and Rates

We may offer other annuity payment options at the time a contract reaches its maturity date. In addition, in the event that annuity payment rates for contracts are at that time more favorable than the applicable rates guaranteed under the contract, the current annuity payment rates shall be used in determining the amount of any annuity payment under the Annuity Payment Options above.

Other Conditions

Federal income tax requirements currently applicable to most qualified plans provide that the period of years guaranteed under joint and survivorship annuities with specified periods certain (see “Option F” and “Option J” above) cannot be any greater than the joint life expectancies of the payee and his or her spouse.

Federal income tax requirements also provide that participants in IRAs must begin required minimum distributions (“RMDs”) by April 1 of the year following the year in which they attain age 70½. Minimum distribution requirements do not apply to Roth IRAs. Distributions from qualified plans generally must begin by the later of actual retirement or April 1 of the year following the year participants attain age 70½. Administratively, we will assist policyholders with compliance with the RMD requirements. Distributions to satisfy the RMD requirements may be withdrawn without a deduction for surrender charges, even if the minimum distribution exceeds the 10% allowable amount. See “Surrender Charges.” Any amounts withdrawn that have not been held under a contract for at least six years and are in excess of both the minimum distribution and the 10% free available amount will be subject to any applicable surrender charge.

If the initial monthly annuity payment under an annuity option would be less than $20, we may make a single sum payment equal to the contract value on the date the initial payment would be payable, in place of all other benefits provided by the contract, or, may make periodic payments quarterly, semiannually or annually in place of monthly payments.

Currently, transfers between investment options are not available for amounts allocated to any of the variable payment annuity options.

Payment Upon Death After Maturity Date

If an owner who also is the annuitant dies on or after the maturity date, except as may otherwise be provided under any supplementary contract between the owner and us, we will pay to the owner/annuitant’s beneficiary any annuity payments due during any applicable period certain under the annuity option in effect on the annuitant’s death. If the annuitant who is not the owner dies on or after the maturity date, we will pay any remaining annuity payments to the annuitant’s beneficiary according to the payment option in effect at the time of the annuitant’s death. If an owner who is not the annuitant dies on or after the maturity date, we will pay any remaining annuity payments to the owner’s beneficiary according to the payment option in effect at the time of the owner’s death.

For contracts issued outside of an Individual Retirement Account/Annuity or a qualified plan, the payments to the beneficiary must be made at least as rapidly as the payments were being made to the owner.

(For information regarding the Inherited/Stretch Annuity feature of this Contract, see the section of this prospectus entitled “Inherited/Stretch Annuity Feature.”)

Variable Account Valuation Procedures

Valuation Date

A Valuation Date is every day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for trading and we are open for business. However, transaction processing may be postponed for the following reasons:

1. the NYSE is closed or may have closed early;
2. the SEC has determined that a state of emergency exists; or
3. on days when a certain market is closed (e.g., the U.S. Government bond market is closed on Columbus Day and Veteran’s Day).

The NYSE Board of Directors reserves the right to change the NYSE schedule as conditions warrant. On each Valuation Date, the value of the Separate Account is determined at the close of the NYSE (usually 4:00 p.m. eastern time).

Valuation Period

Valuation period is that period of time from the beginning of the day following a valuation date to the end of the next following valuation date.

Accumulation Unit Value

The value of one Accumulation Unit was set at $1.000 on the date assets were first allocated to an investment option. The value of one Accumulation Unit on any subsequent Valuation Date is determined by multiplying the immediately preceding Accumulation Unit Value by the applicable net investment factor for the valuation period ending on such Valuation Date. After the first valuation period, the Accumulation Unit Value reflects the cumulative investment experience of that investment option.

Net Investment Factor

The net investment factor for any valuation period is equal to 1.000 plus the applicable net investment rate for such valuation period. A net investment factor may be more or less than 1.000 depending on whether the assets gained or lost value that day. To determine the net investment rate for any valuation period for the funds allocated to each investment option, the following steps are taken: (a) the aggregate accrued investment income and capital gains and losses, whether realized or unrealized, of the investment option for such valuation period is computed, (b) the amount in (a) is then adjusted by the sum of the charges and credits for any applicable income taxes and the deductions at the beginning of the valuation period for mortality and expense risk charges and daily administration fee, and (c) the results of (a) as adjusted by (b) are divided by the aggregate unit values in the investment option at the beginning of the valuation period.

Miscellaneous Provisions

Assignment

Owners of contracts issued in connection with non-tax qualified plans may assign their interest in the contract without the consent of the beneficiary. We will not be on notice of such an assignment unless we receive written notice of such assignment filed with our Annuity Operations Division.

A pledge or assignment of a contract is treated as payment received on account of a partial surrender of a contract. See “Surrenders or Withdrawals Prior to the contract Maturity Date.”

In order to qualify for favorable tax treatment, contracts issued in connection with tax qualified plans may not be sold, assigned, discounted or pledged as collateral for a loan or as security for the performance of an obligation, or for any other purpose, to any person other than to us.

Payment Deferral

Payment of surrender, withdrawal or death proceeds usually will be made in one lump sum within seven days after receipt of the written request by our Annuity Operations Division in good order unless another payment option has been agreed upon by you and us. However, we may postpone payment of the value of any accumulation units at times (a) when the NYSE is closed, other than customary weekend and holiday closings, (b) when trading on the NYSE is restricted, (c) when an emergency exists as a result of which disposal of securities in the fund is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable to determine the contract value or (d) when a governmental body having jurisdiction over us by order permits such suspension. Rules and regulations of the SEC, if any, are applicable and will govern as to whether conditions described in (b), (c) or (d) exist.

Payment of the contract value attributable to the GIA may be deferred for 6 months from the date of receipt of a withdrawal or surrender request at our Annuity Operations Division. If payment is delayed for more than 10 days, we will credit additional interest at a rate equal to that paid under Annuity Options G and H.

Federal laws designed to counter terrorism and prevent money laundering might, in certain circumstances require us to block a contract owner’s ability to make certain transactions and, as a result, we may refuse to accept requests for transfers, withdrawals, surrenders or death benefits, until we are so instructed by the appropriate regulator. We may also be required to provide additional information about you and your contract to government regulators.

Amendments to Contracts

Contracts may be amended to conform to changes in applicable law or interpretations of applicable law, or to accommodate design changes. Changes in the contract may need to be approved by contract owners and state insurance departments. A change in the contract which necessitates a corresponding change in the prospectus or the SAI must be filed with the SEC.

Substitution of Fund Shares

If, in the judgment of Phoenix’s management, one or more of the funds becomes unsuitable for investment by Contract Owners, we reserve the right to substitute Accumulation Units of another investment option for Accumulation Units already purchased or to be purchased in the future by premium payments under this contract. Any substitution will be subject to approval by the SEC, if required and, where required, one or more state insurance departments.

Ownership of the Contract

Ordinarily, the purchaser of a contract is both the owner and the annuitant and is entitled to exercise all the rights under the contract. However, the owner may be an individual or entity other than the annuitant. Spouses may own a contract as joint owners. Transfer of the ownership of a contract may involve federal income tax consequences, and a qualified adviser should be consulted before any such transfer is attempted.

Inherited/Stretch Annuity Feature

This Contract provides for an Inherited/Stretch Annuity Feature that may be requested by the beneficiary of a deceased Contract Owner’s interest. Under this Feature we will administer the Contract to accommodate an inherited or “stretch” payout. A stretch payout is a method in which the death benefit is paid out over a period of time, which is generally based upon the life expectancy of the beneficiary. By electing a stretch payout, a death benefit beneficiary can “stretch” payments over his or her life expectancy rather than receive the entire death benefit in one lump sum or within five years of the Contract Owner’s death. The amount of each stretch payment will be at least the required minimum distribution (“RMD”) required under the Internal Revenue Code and its accompanying rules and regulations (see “Federal Income Taxes”). Electing a “stretch” payout may provide tax advantages to the beneficiary.

This Feature is available to an individual or trust beneficiary of an Individual Retirement Account (IRA), (including a Roth IRA), or Qualified Plan or to an individual beneficiary of a Non-Qualified contract issued by Phoenix (or its affiliates) or issued by a company unaffiliated with Phoenix. If the beneficiary of a contract issued by a company unaffiliated with Phoenix purchases this Big Edge, Group Strategic Edge®, The Big Edge Choice® for New York, or The Big Edge Plus® Contract for this Feature, then all contract rights will be available to the purchaser. However, if a beneficiary of this Big Edge, Group Strategic Edge®, The Big Edge Choice® for New York, or The Big Edge Plus® Contract elects this Feature, only certain rights will remain with the beneficiary because a beneficiary does not retain the same rights under this Contract as the deceased owner. Certain limitations, considerations and tax implications apply to this Feature and may differ depending upon whether you have an IRA/Qualified or Non-Qualified Plan and whether the beneficiary is an individual or a trust.

If this Feature is elected, we will calculate the RMD under the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) and its accompanying rules and regulations and will distribute this calculated amount to the beneficiary. However, it is the responsibility of the beneficiary to ensure that the correct RMD is actually withdrawn from the contact each year.

The following guidelines will apply when we administer this Feature:

We will calculate the RMD each year in accordance with the Code using the Fair Market Value (year-end account value, plus any actuarial value assigned to living benefits) of the account. With certain limitations, a beneficiary’s share of the death benefit will be distributed over his or her life expectancy, based on IRS tables. If there are multiple beneficiaries and a separate beneficiary account is not established by December 31st of the calendar year following the year of death, the death benefit will be distributed over the life expectancy of the oldest beneficiary. For a Non-Qualified contract, if the deceased Owner had begun receiving annuitization proceeds, the RMD payments will be based on the life expectancy of the deceased Owner at the time of death. If the beneficiary is a non-natural person under an IRA/ Qualified plan, and the deceased Owner died after his or her required beginning distribution date, we will use the remaining life expectancy of the deceased to compute remaining payments. The annual RMD must be withdrawn each year. For a Non-Qualified contract, the first RMD must be distributed no later than the anniversary of the deceased Owner’s date of death. For IRAs/Qualified plans, the first RMD must be distributed on or before December 31st of the calendar year following the year of the deceased’s death. For an IRA/Qualified plan, if the beneficiary is a surviving spouse, the surviving spouse beneficiary can postpone RMDs until the year the deceased spouse would have turned 70 and ½. In the alternative, the spouse can also add the IRA/Qualified plan proceeds to his or her own IRA and delay RMDs until the surviving spouse turns 70 and ½. For a Non-Qualified contract, if the beneficiary is a surviving spouse, the surviving spouse can take the contract as his or her own and delay RMDs until the surviving spouse’s death. See “Spousal Definition” for further discussion of spousal qualifications. The RMD may be paid on an installment basis with the payment frequency chosen by the beneficiary; in all cases, the RMDs must be paid at least annually. In addition to RMD amounts, additional funds may be withdrawn from the Contract. Any withdrawal in excess of the RMD may be subject to a surrender charge (see the sections of this prospectus entitled “Summary of Expenses” and “Surrender of Contracts and Withdrawals”). The beneficiary who elects this Feature may continue or change the funding vehicle that the deceased Owner selected.

Additional more information regarding our administration of this feature is provided in a “Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) Request and Acknowledgment Form”, available upon request. This feature may not be suitable for some beneficiaries. We are not providing tax, financial or legal advice. You should consult with your financial professional and tax adviser to determine whether this feature is right for you. This feature may not be available in all states.

Federal Income Taxes

Introduction

The contracts are designed for use with retirement plans which may or may not be tax-qualified plans (“qualified plans”) or Individual Retirement Annuities (IRAs) under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, (the “Code”). The ultimate impact of federal income taxes on the amounts held under a contract, premiums paid for the contract, payments received under the contract and on the economic benefits to the policyholder, annuitant or beneficiary depends on our income tax status, on the type of retirement plan (if any) for which the contract is purchased, and upon the income tax and employment status of the individual concerned.

The following discussion is general in nature and is not intended as individual tax advice. The income tax rules are complicated and this discussion is intended only to make you aware of the issues. Each person should consult an independent tax or legal advisor. No attempt is made to consider any estate, gift or inheritance taxes or any applicable state, local or other tax laws. Because this discussion is based upon our understanding of the federal income tax laws as they are currently interpreted, we cannot guarantee the income tax status of any contract either currently or in the future. No representation is made regarding the likelihood of continuation of the federal income tax laws or the current interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”). From time to time, there are regulatory or legislation proposals or changes that do or could impact the taxation of annuity contracts and IRAs; if enacted, these changes could be retroactive. We reserve the right to make changes to the contract to assure that it continues to qualify as an annuity for federal income tax purposes. For a discussion of federal income taxes as they relate to the funds, please see the fund prospectuses.

Note on Terminology: The Code uses the term “policyholder”, in describing the owner of an Annuity. This section will follow the Code terminology in describing specific provisions of the Code.

Income Tax Status

We are taxed as a life insurance company under the Code. For federal income tax purposes, neither the Separate Account nor the Guaranteed Interest Account is a separate entity from Phoenix Life Insurance Company, PHL Variable Insurance Company or Phoenix Life and Annuity Company and neither account will be taxed separately as under the “regulated investment company” provisions (Subchapter M) of the Code.

Investment income and realized capital gains on the assets of the Separate Account are reinvested and taken into account in determining the value of the Separate Account and each Contract. Investment income of the Separate Account, including realized net capital gains, is not taxed to us. Due to our income tax status under current provisions of the Code, no charge currently will be made to the Separate Account for our federal income taxes which may be attributable to the Separate Account. We reserve the right to make a deduction for taxes should they be imposed on us with respect to such items in the future, if changes are made affecting the income tax treatment to our variable life insurance contracts, or if changes occur in our income tax status. If imposed, such charge would be equal to the federal income taxes attributable to the investment results of the Separate Account.

Taxation of Annuities in General—Nonqualified Plans

Code section 72 governs taxation of annuities. In general, a policyholder (Contract owner) is not taxed on increases in value of the units held under a contract until a distribution is made. However, in certain cases, the increase in value may be subject to tax currently. See “Contracts Owned by Non-Natural Persons,” “Owner Control” and “Diversification Standards” below.

The policyholder may elect one of the available death benefit guarantees under the contract. One or more of the options available may, in some cases, exceed the greater of the sum of premium payments or the Contract Value. The IRS may take the position with respect to these death benefit guarantees that they are not part of the annuity contract. In such a case, the charges against the cash value of the annuity contract or charges withheld from a rollover for the benefits would be considered distributions subject to tax, including penalty taxes, and charges withheld from purchase payments for the contract would not be deductible. If the IRS were to take this position, we would take all reasonable steps to avoid this result, which would include the right to amend the contract, with appropriate notice to you. You should consult with your tax advisor before electing a death benefit guarantee under this contract or any amendments, benefits or endorsements to the contract.

Surrenders or Withdrawals Prior to the Contract Maturity Date

Code section 72 provides that a withdrawal or surrender of the contract prior to the contract Maturity Date will be treated as taxable income to the extent the amounts held under the contract exceeds the “investment in the contract.” The “investment in the contract” is that portion, if any, of contract purchase payments (premiums) that have not been excluded from the policyholder’s gross income (“after-tax monies”). The taxable portion is taxed as ordinary income in an amount equal to the value of the amount received in excess of the “investment in the contract” on account of a withdrawal or surrender of a contract. For purposes of this rule, a pledge, loan or assignment of a contract is treated as a payment received on account of a withdrawal from a contract.

Surrenders or Withdrawals On or After the Contract Maturity Date

Upon receipt of a lump sum payment under the contract, the policyholder is taxed on the portion of the payment that exceeds the investment in the contract. Ordinarily, such taxable portion is taxed as ordinary income.

For amounts received as an annuity, which are amounts payable at regular intervals over a period of more than one full year from the date on which they are deemed to begin, the taxable portion of each payment is determined by using a formula known as the “exclusion ratio,” which establishes the ratio that the investment in the contract bears to the total expected amount of annuity payments for the term of the contract. That ratio is then applied to each payment to determine the non-taxable portion of the payment. The remaining portion of each payment is taxed as ordinary income. For variable annuity payments, the taxable portion is determined by a formula that establishes a specific dollar amount of each payment that is not taxed. The dollar amount is determined by dividing the investment in the contract by the total number of expected periodic payments. The remaining portion of each payment is taxed as ordinary income.

Once the excludable portion of annuity payments equals the investment in the contract, the balance of the annuity payments will be fully taxable. For certain types of qualified plans, there may be no investment in the contract resulting in the full amount of the payments being taxable. For annuities issued in connection with qualified employer retirement plans, a simplified method of determining the exclusion ratio applies. This simplified method does not apply to IRAs.

Withholding of federal income taxes on all distributions may be required unless the policyholder properly elects not to have any amounts withheld and notifies our Operations Division of that election on the required forms and under the required certifications. Certain policyholders cannot make this election.

Penalty Tax on Certain Surrenders and Withdrawals—Nonqualified Contracts (Contracts not issued in connection with qualified plans or IRAs)

Amounts surrendered, withdrawn or distributed before the policyholder/taxpayer reaches age 59½ are subject to a penalty tax equal to ten percent (10%) of the portion of such amount that is includable in gross income. However, the penalty tax will not apply to withdrawals: (i) made on or after the death of the policyholder (or where the holder is not an individual, the death of the “primary Annuitant,” defined as the individual the events in whose life are of primary importance in affecting the timing and amount of the payout under the contract); (ii) attributable to the taxpayer’s becoming totally disabled within the meaning of Code section 72(m)(7); (iii) which are part of a Series of substantially equal periodic payments made (not less frequently than annually) for the life (or life expectancy) of the taxpayer, or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the taxpayer and his or her beneficiary; (iv) from certain qualified plans (such distributions may, however, be subject to a similar penalty under Code section 72(t) relating to distributions from qualified retirement plans and to a special penalty of 25% applicable specifically to SIMPLE IRAs or other special penalties applicable to Roth IRAs); (v) allocable to investment in the contract before August 14, 1982; (vi) under a qualified funding asset (as defined in Code section 130(d)); (vii) under an immediate annuity contract (as defined in Code section 72(u)(4)); or (viii) that are purchased by an employer on termination of certain types of qualified plans and which are held by the employer until the employee separates from service. Please note that future legislation or regulations may modify the conditions under which distributions may be received without tax penalty.

Separate tax withdrawal penalties apply to qualified plans and IRAs. See “Penalty Tax on Certain Surrenders and Withdrawals from Qualified Plans and IRAs.”

Additional Considerations

Distribution-at-Death Rules

For a contract issued other than in connection with a qualified plan or an IRA, in order to be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes, a contract must provide the following two distribution rules: (a) if the policyholder dies on or after the contract Maturity Date, and before the entire interest in the contract has been distributed, the remainder of the policyholder’s interest will be distributed at least as rapidly as the method in effect on the policyholder’s death; and (b) if a policyholder dies before the contract Maturity Date, the policyholder’s entire interest generally must be distributed within five (5) years after the date of death, or if payable to a designated beneficiary, may be annuitized over the life or life expectancy of that beneficiary and payments must begin within one (1) year after the policyholder’s date of death. If the beneficiary is the spouse of the holder, the contract may be continued in the name of the spouse as holder. Similar distribution requirements apply to annuity contracts under qualified plans and IRAs.

If the primary Annuitant, which is not the policyholder, dies before the Maturity Date, the owner will become the Annuitant unless the owner appoints another Annuitant. If the policyholder is not an individual, the death of the primary Annuitant is treated as the death of the holder. When the holder is not an individual, a change in the primary Annuitant is treated as the death of the holder.

If the policyholder dies on or after the Maturity Date, the remaining payments, if any, under an Annuity Payment Option must be made at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect at the time of death.

Any death benefits paid under the contract are taxable to the beneficiary at ordinary rates to the extent amounts exceed investment in the contract. The rules governing the taxation of payments from an annuity contract, as discussed above, generally apply whether the death benefits are paid as lump sum or annuity payments. Estate taxes and state income taxes may also apply.

No beneficiary will be defaulted to any death benefit option. Each Beneficiary will need to select the death benefit option from among those set forth in the contract which are applicable to the named Beneficiary. If an option is not selected, the death benefit, if any, will be paid pursuant to the default death benefit payment option set forth in the contract.

Transfer of Annuity Contracts

Transfers of contracts for less than full and adequate consideration at the time of such transfer will trigger taxable income on the gain in the contract, with the transferee getting a step-up in basis for the amount included in the policyholder’s income. This provision does not apply to transfers between spouses or transfers incident to a divorce.

Contracts Owned by Non-Natural Persons

If a non-natural person (for example, a corporation) holds the contract, the income on that contract (generally the increase in the net surrender value less the premium payments paid) is includable in income each year. The rule does not apply where the non-natural person is an agent for a natural person, such as a trust in which the beneficial owner is a natural person. The rule also does not apply where the annuity contract is acquired by the estate of a decedent, where the contract is held under a qualified plan, a TSA program or an IRA, where the contract is a qualified funding asset for structured settlements, or where the contract is purchased on behalf of an employee upon termination of a qualified plan.

Section 1035 Exchanges

Code section 1035 provides, in general, that no gain or loss shall be recognized on the exchange of one annuity contract for another or the exchange of one annuity contract for a long-term care contract. A replacement contract obtained in a tax-free exchange of contracts generally succeeds to the status of the surrendered contract. For non-qualified contracts, the contract proceeds must be transferred directly from one insurer to another insurer; they cannot be sent to the policyholder by the original insurer and then transmitted from the policyholder to the new insurer. For IRA and qualified plan contracts, the proceeds can be transmitted through the policyholder if specific conditions are met.

Exchanges are permitted of the entire contract or a portion of the contract. Upon a partial exchange, distributions within twelve (12) months after the exchange are subject to potential additional tax ramifications. Policyholders contemplating exchanges should consult their tax and/or legal advisors.

Multiple Contracts

Code section 72(e)(12)(A)(ii) provides that for purposes of determining the amount of any distribution under Code section 72(e) (amounts not received as annuities) that is includable in gross income, all annuity contracts issued by the same insurer (or affiliate) to the same policyholder during any calendar year are to be aggregated and treated as one contract. Thus, any amount received under any such contract prior to the contract Maturity Date, such as a withdrawal, dividend or loan, will be taxable (and possibly subject to the 10% penalty tax) to the extent of the combined income in all such contracts.

Diversification Standards

Diversification Regulations

Code section 817(h) requires that all contracts be adequately diversified. Treasury regulations define the requirements and generally permit these requirements to be satisfied using separate accounts with separate funds or series of a fund, each of which meets the requirements. The regulations generally require that, on the last day of each calendar quarter the assets of the separate accounts or series be invested in no more than:

55% in any 1 investment 70% in any 2 investments 80% in any 3 investments 90% in any 4 investments

A “look-through” rule applies to treat a pro rata portion of each asset of a Series as an asset of the Separate Account, and each Series of the funds are tested for compliance with the percentage limitations. For purposes of these diversification rules, all securities of the same issuer are treated as a single investment, but each United States government agency or instrumentality is treated as a separate issuer.

We represent that we intend to comply with the Diversification Regulations to assure that the contracts continue to be treated as annuity contracts for federal income tax purposes.

Owner Control

The Treasury Department has indicated that the Diversification Regulations do not provide exclusive guidance regarding the circumstances under which policyholder control of the investments of the Separate Account will cause the policyholder to be treated as the owner of the assets of the Separate Account. It is also critical that the insurance company and not the policyholder have control of the assets held in the separate accounts. A policyholder can allocate Account Values from one fund of the separate account to another but cannot direct the investments each fund makes. If a policyholder has too much “investor control” of the assets supporting the separate account funds, then the policyholder may be taxed on the gain in the contract as it is earned.

In 2003, the IRS issued formal guidance that indicated that if the number of underlying mutual funds available in a variable insurance contract does not exceed 20, the number of underlying mutual funds alone would not cause the contract to not qualify for the desired tax treatment. This guidance also states that exceeding 20 investment options may be considered a factor, along with other factors, including the number of transfer opportunities available under the contract, when determining whether the contract qualifies for the desired tax treatment. The Revenue Ruling did not indicate any specific number of underlying mutual funds that would cause the contract to not provide the desired tax treatment but stated that whether the owner of a variable contract is to be treated as the owner of the assets held by the insurance company under the contract will depend on all of the facts and circumstances.

The Revenue Ruling considered certain variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts and held that the types of actual and potential control that the policyholder could exercise over the investment assets held by the insurance company under the variable contracts was not sufficient to cause the policyholder to be treated as the owner of those assets and thus to be subject to current income tax on the income and gains produced by those assets. Under this contract, like the contracts described in the Revenue Ruling, there is no arrangement, plan, contract, or agreement between the policyholder and us regarding the availability of a particular investment option and, other than the policyholder’s right to allocate premium payments and transfer funds among the available investment options, all investment decisions concerning the investment options will be made by us or an advisor in its sole and absolute discretion.

At this time, it cannot be determined whether additional guidance will be provided on this issue and what standards may be contained in such guidance. Should there been additional rules or regulations on this issue, including limitations on the number of underlying mutual funds, transfers between or among underlying mutual funds, exchanges of underlying mutual funds or changes in investment objectives of underlying mutual funds such that the contract would no longer qualify for tax deferred treatment, we reserve the right to modify the contract to the extent required to maintain favorable tax treatment.

Diversification Regulations and Qualified Plans

Code section 817(h) applies to a variable annuity contract other than a pension plan contract. All of the qualified plans, including IRAs, are defined as pension plan contracts for these purposes. Notwithstanding the exception of qualified plan contracts from application of the diversification rules, all available investments will be structured to comply with the diversification regulations and investor control limitations because the investments serve as the investment vehicle for nonqualified contracts as well as qualified plan and IRA contracts.

Taxation of Annuities in General—Qualified Plans and IRAs

The contracts may be used with several types of IRAs and qualified plans including: Section 403(b) contracts (also referred to as Tax-Sheltered Annuities (TSAs) or Tax-Deferred Annuities (TDAs)), Roth 403(b) contracts, Traditional IRAs, SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, SARSEP IRAs, Roth IRAs, Corporate Pension and Profit-sharing Plans and State Deferred Compensation Plans. For purposes of this discussion, all will be treated as qualified plans. The specific tax rules applicable to participants in such qualified plans vary according to the type of plan and the terms and conditions of the plan itself. No attempt is made here to provide more than general information about the use of the contracts with the various types of qualified plans. We reserve the right at any time to discontinue the availability of this contract for use with some of all of these qualified plans. Participants under such qualified plans as well as policyholders, annuitants and beneficiaries, are reminded 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 or limited by applicable law, regardless of the terms and conditions of the contract issued in connection therewith. Federal or state requirements, including ERISA, may impact the person entitled to death benefits under the contract. Consequently, a policyholder’s named beneficiary designation or elected annuity payment option may not be enforceable.

The owner of the contract may elect one of the available death benefit guarantees under the contract. We are of the opinion that the death benefit guarantees available under the contract are part of the annuity contract. One or more of the death benefit guarantees available may exceed the greater of the sum of premium payments or the Contract Value. The contract and its amendments, benefits or endorsements (together referred to herein as the “contract”) have not been reviewed by the IRS for qualification as an IRA or any other qualified plan. Moreover, the IRS has not issued formal guidance concerning whether any particular death benefit option such as those available under the contract complies with the qualification requirements for an IRA or any other qualified plan.

There is a risk that the IRS would take the position that one or more of the death benefit guarantees are not part of the annuity contract. In such a case, charges against the cash value of the annuity contract or charges withheld from a rollover for the benefits would be considered distributions subject to tax, including penalty taxes. While we regard the death benefit guarantees available under the contract as a permissible benefit under an IRA, the IRS may take a contrary position regarding tax qualification resulting in deemed distributions. If the IRS were to take this position, we would take all reasonable steps to avoid this result, which would include the right to amend the contract, with appropriate notice to you. You should consult with your tax advisor before electing a death benefit option under this contract for an IRA or other qualified plan.

Certain death benefit guarantees may be purchased under the contract. IRAs and other qualified contracts generally may not invest in life insurance contracts. There is a risk that IRS may consider these death benefit guarantees “incidental death benefits.” There is a limit on the amount of the incidental death benefits allowable for qualified contracts. If the death benefit(s) selected are considered to exceed these limits, the benefit(s) could result in taxable income to the owner of the IRA or qualified contract. Furthermore, the Code provides that the assets of an IRA may not be invested in life insurance, but may provide, in the case of death during the accumulation phase, for a death benefit payment equal to the greater of sum of premium payments (less withdrawals) or Contract Value. This contract offers death benefits, which may exceed the greater of sum of premium payments (less withdrawals) or Contract Value. If the IRS determines that these benefits are providing life insurance, the contract may not qualify as an IRA or other qualified contract. That determination could result in the immediate taxation of amounts held in the contract and the imposition of penalty taxes. You should consult your tax advisor regarding these features and benefits prior to purchasing a contract.

Distributions from qualified plans eligible to be rolled over to new contracts but which are paid to the policyholder directly generally will be subject to 20 percent income tax withholding. Mandatory withholding can be avoided if the policyholder arranges for a direct rollover to another qualified pension or profit-sharing plan or to an IRA.

The mandatory withholding rules apply to all taxable distributions from qualified plans except (a) distributions required under the Code, (b) substantially equal distributions made over the life (or life expectancy) of the employee, or for a term certain of 10 years or more and (c) the portion of distributions not includable in gross income (i.e., return of after-tax contributions). The mandatory withholding rules do not apply to IRAs, however, a distribution from an IRA is taxable unless the IRA funds are reinvested in another IRA within a statutory time of 60 days.

The contracts sold by us in connection with certain qualified plans will utilize annuity tables that do not differentiate on the basis of sex. Such annuity tables also will be available for use in connection with certain nonqualified deferred compensation plans.

There are numerous income tax rules governing qualified plans, including rules with respect to: coverage, participation, maximum contributions, required distributions, penalty taxes on early or insufficient distributions and income tax withholding on distributions. The following are general descriptions of the various types of qualified plans and of the use of the contracts in connection therewith.

Tax Sheltered Annuities (“TSAs”), Tax Deferred Annuities (“TDAs”), Section 403(b)

Code section 403(b) permits public school systems and certain types of charitable, educational and scientific organizations, generally specified in Code section 501(c)(3), to purchase annuity contracts on behalf of their employees and, subject to certain limitations, allows employees of those organizations to exclude the amount of payments from gross income for federal income tax purposes. These annuity contracts are commonly referred to as TSAs, TDAs, or 403(b)s.

Code section 403(b)(11) imposes certain restrictions on a policyholder’s ability to make withdrawals from, or surrenders of, Code section 403(b) Contracts. Specifically, Code section 403(b)(11) allows a surrender or withdrawal only (a) when the employee attains age 59½, separates from service, dies or becomes disabled (as defined in the Code), or (b) in the case of hardship. In the case of hardship, the distribution amount cannot include any income earned under the contract. Code section 403(b)(11), applies only with respect to distributions from Code section 403(b) Contracts which are attributable to assets other than assets held as of the close of the last year beginning before January 1, 1989. Thus, the distribution restrictions do not apply to assets held as of December 31, 1988.

In addition, in order for certain types of contributions under a Code section 403(b) Contract to be excluded from taxable income, the employer must comply with certain nondiscrimination requirements. The responsibility for compliance is with the employer and not with the issuer of the underlying annuity contract.

If a policyholder requests a distribution due to attaining age 59 ½, separation from service or becoming disabled, the policyholder must follow specific written documentation requirements, in a form acceptable to us, before we can process the distribution.

If a policyholder requests a distribution as a result of hardship, the employer must specifically authorize the distribution. It is not the responsibility of the contract issuer to monitor compliance with IRS regulations relating to hardship distributions. If a hardship distribution is desired, the policyholder must follow the requirements set forth by the employer and we must receive consent by the employer, in a form acceptable to us, to process the distribution.

If certain contractual requirements are met, loans may be made available under Internal Revenue Code section 403(b) tax-sheltered annuity programs. A loan from a participant’s Contract Value may be requested only if we make loans available with the contract and if the employer specifically permits and authorizes loans under their tax-sheltered annuity program. There are specific limits in the Code on the amount of the loan and the term of the loan. It is not the responsibility of the contract issuer to monitor compliance with these requirements. If a loan is desired, the policyholder must follow the requirements set forth by the employer and we must receive consent by the employer, in form acceptable to us, to process the loan.

If we are directed by the participant, the loan may be taken from specific investment options. Otherwise, the loan is taken proportionately from all investment options. The loan must be at least $1,000 and the maximum loan amount is the greater of: (a) 90% of the first $10,000 of Contract Value minus any withdrawal charge; and (b) 50% of the Contract Value minus any withdrawal charge. The maximum loan amount is $50,000. If loans are outstanding from any other tax-qualified plan, then the maximum loan amount of the contract may be reduced from the amount stated above in order to comply with the maximum loan amount requirements under section 72(p) of the Code. Amounts borrowed from a Market Value Adjustment (“MVA”) account are subject to the same market value adjustment as applies to transfers from the MVA.

Interest will be charged on the loan, in the amount set forth in the contract. This interest is payable to us.

Loan repayments will first pay any accrued loan interest. The balance will be applied to reduce the outstanding loan balance and will also reduce the amount of the Loan Security Account by the same amount that the outstanding loan balance is reduced. The Loan Security Account is part of the general account and is the sole security for the loan. It is increased with all loan amounts taken and reduced by all repayments of loan principal. The balance of loan repayments, after payment of accrued loan interest, will be credited to the investment options of the Separate Account or the GIA in accordance with the participant’s most recent premium payments allocation on file with us, except that no amount will be transferred to the MVA.

Under Code section 72(p), if a loan payment is not paid within 90 days after the payment was due, then the entire loan balance plus accrued interest will be in default. In the case of default, the outstanding loan balance plus accrued interest will be deemed a distribution for income tax purposes, and will be reported as such pursuant to Internal Revenue Code requirements. At the time of such deemed distribution, interest will continue to accrue until such time as an actual distribution occurs under the contract.

As of January 1, 2009, there are new Income Tax Regulations impacting section 403(b) plans, including the requirement that the employer have a written Plan and that the Plan indicate the identity of the providers permitted under the Plan. We are not administrators of section 403(b) Plans; we are providers of annuity contracts authorized under specific Plans. We will exchange required information with the employer and/or authorized plan administrator, upon request. As a result of these regulations and requirements set forth by the employer, we may require additional documentation prior to executing transactions involving contracts issued in connection with section 403(b) plans. These documentation requirements may change from time to time.

Keogh Plans

The Self-Employed Individual Tax Retirement Act of 1962, as amended permitted self-employed individuals to establish “Keoghs” or qualified plans for themselves and their employees. The tax consequences to participants under such a plan depend upon the terms of the plan. In addition, such plans are limited by law with respect to the maximum permissible contributions, distribution dates, nonforfeitability of interests, and tax rates applicable to distributions. In order to establish such a plan, a plan document must be adopted and implemented by the employer, as well as approved by the IRS.

Individual Retirement Annuities

Various sections of the Code permit eligible individuals to contribute to individual retirement programs known as “Traditional IRAs”, “Roth IRAs”, “SEP IRA”, “SARSEP IRA”, “SIMPLE IRA”, and “Deemed IRAs”. Each of these different types of IRAs is subject to limitations on the amount that may be contributed, the persons who may be eligible and on the time when distributions may commence. In addition, distributions from certain other types of qualified plans may be placed on a tax-deferred basis into an IRA. Participant loans are not allowed under IRA contracts. Details about each of these different types of IRAs are included in the respective contract endorsements.

Corporate Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans

Code section 401(a) permits corporate employers to establish various types of retirement plans for employees.

These retirement plans may permit the purchase of the contracts to provide benefits under the Plan. Contributions to the Plan for the benefit of employees will not be includable in the gross income of the employee until distributed from the Plan. The tax consequences to participants may vary depending upon the particular Plan design. However, the Code places limitations and restrictions on all Plans, including on such items as: amount of allowable contributions; form, manner and timing of distributions; transferability of benefits; vesting and nonforfeitability of interests; nondiscrimination in eligibility and participation; and the tax treatment of distributions, withdrawals and surrenders. Purchasers of contracts for use with Corporate Pension or Profit-sharing Plans should obtain independent tax advice as to the tax treatment and suitability of such an investment.

Deferred Compensation Plans With Respect to Service for State and Local Governments and Tax Exempt Organizations

Code section 457 provides for certain deferred compensation plans with respect to service for state and local governments and certain other entities. The contracts may be used in connection with these plans; however, under these plans if issued to tax exempt organizations, the policyholder is the plan sponsor, and the individual participants in the plans are the Annuitants. Under such contracts, the rights of individual plan participants are governed solely by their agreements with the plan sponsor and not by the terms of the contracts.

Tax on Surrenders and Withdrawals from Qualified Plans and IRAs

In the case of a withdrawal under a qualified plan or IRA, a ratable portion of the amount received is taxable, generally based on the ratio of the individual’s after-tax cost basis to the individual’s total accrued benefit under the retirement plan. Special tax rules may be available for certain distributions from a qualified plan. For many qualified plans, the individual will have no after-tax contributions and the entire amount received will be taxable. For Roth IRAs, if certain conditions are met regarding holding periods and age of the policyholder, withdrawals are received without tax.

Code section 72(t) imposes a 10% penalty tax on the taxable portion of any distribution from qualified retirement plans, including contracts issued and qualified under Code Sections 401, Section 403(b) Contracts, (and Individual Retirement Annuities other than Roth IRAs. The penalty is increased to 25% instead of 10% for SIMPLE IRAs if distribution occurs within the first two years of the participation in the SIMPLE IRA. These penalty taxes are in addition to any income tax due on the distribution. To the extent amounts are not includable in gross income because they have been properly rolled over to an IRA or to another eligible qualified plan; no tax penalty will be imposed.

The tax penalty will not apply to the following distributions: (a) if distribution is made on or after the date on which the policyholder or Annuitant (as applicable) reaches age 59½; (b) distributions following the death or disability of the policyholder or Annuitant (as applicable) (for this purpose disability is as defined in section 72(m)(7) of the Code); (c) after separation from service, distributions that are part of substantially equal periodic payments made not less frequently than annually for the life (or life expectancy) of the policyholder or Annuitant (as applicable) or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of such policyholder or Annuitant (as applicable) and his or her designated beneficiary; (d) distributions to a policyholder or Annuitant (as applicable) who has separated from service after he has attained age 55; (e) distributions made to the policyholder or Annuitant (as applicable) to the extent such distributions do not exceed the amount allowable as a deduction under Code section 213 to the policyholder or Annuitant (as applicable) for amounts paid during the taxable year for medical care; (f) distributions made to an alternate payee pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (g) distributions from an IRA for the purchase of medical insurance (as described in section 213(d)(1)(D) of the Code) for the policyholder and spouse and dependents if the certain conditions are met; (h) distributions from IRAs for first-time home purchase expenses (maximum $10,000) or certain qualified educational expenses of the policyholder, spouse, children or grandchildren; and (i) distributions from retirement plans to individuals called to active military. The exceptions stated in items (d) and (f) above do not apply in the case of an IRA. The exception stated in item (c) applies to an IRA without the requirement that there be a separation from service. Please note that future legislation or regulations may modify the conditions under which distributions may be received from a qualified plan or IRA without tax penalty.

Generally, distributions from a qualified plan or IRA must commence no later than April 1 of the calendar year following the later of: (a) the year in which the employee attains age 70½ or (b) the calendar year in which the employee retires. The date set forth in (b) does not apply to a Traditional or SIMPLE IRA and the required distribution rules do not apply to Roth IRAs. This commencement date is referred to as the “required beginning date.” Required distributions must be over a period not exceeding the life expectancy of the individual or the joint lives or life expectancies of the individual and his or her designated beneficiary. If the required minimum distributions are not made, a 50% penalty tax is imposed as to the amount not distributed.

The amount that must be distributed is based on Code rules relating to “Required Minimum Distributions.” This RMD takes into consideration the individual’s age, marital status, and account balance, as well as the actuarial value of additional benefits under the contract. The individual will have options regarding computation of the RMD amount; these options are selected at the time that the payments begin.

An individual is required to take distributions from all of his or her retirement accounts; however, if the individual has two or more accounts, the total amount of RMDs can be taken from one of the multiple accounts. For example, if the individual has a traditional IRA and a section 403(b) contract, the individual will have an RMD amount relating to each of these retirement vehicles. The individual can take the total of two RMDs from either or both of the two contracts.

We are required to file an information return to the IRS, with a copy to the participant, of the total account value of each account. This information return will also indicate if RMDs are required to be taken. We will provide information to each policyholder concerning the RMD computations for his or her annuity contract.

In addition to RMDs during the life of the individual, there are also required after-death distributions. These after-death RMDs apply to all qualified plans and IRAs, including Roth IRAs. The beneficiary of the contract may take payments earlier than provided under these after-death RMD rules, such as immediately after death, but cannot delay receipt of payments after the dates specified under these rules.

Under the after-death RMD rules, if the original policyholder died prior to the required beginning date, and designated a contract beneficiary, then the full account value must be distributed either by the end of the fifth calendar year after the year of the owner’s death or over a period of no longer than the life expectancy of the oldest individual beneficiary. If the payments are to be over the life expectancy, the first payment must be received by December 31st of the year following the year of death. If the owner did not name a contract beneficiary or if the beneficiary was a non-natural person (such as an entity or the owner’s estate), then the life expectancy payouts are not permitted and only the five-year rule is permitted.

If the policyholder died after the required beginning date and designed a contract beneficiary, then the maximum payout period is the longer of the life expectancy of the named beneficiary or the remaining life expectancy of the original policyholder. If there was no named contract beneficiary or if the beneficiary was a non-natural person (such as an entity or the owner’s estate), then the only payment permitted is based on the remaining life expectancy of the original policyholder.

In all cases, if the beneficiary is the surviving spouse, there are special spousal continuation rules under which the spouse can treat the contract as his or her own and delay receiving payments until the spouse attains his or her own required beginning date. No beneficiary will be defaulted to any death benefit option. Each Beneficiary will need to select the death benefit option from among those set forth in the contract which are applicable to the named Beneficiary. If an option is not selected, the death benefit, if any, will be paid pursuant to the default death benefit payment option set forth in the contract.

Withholding and Information Reporting

We are required to file information returns with the IRS and state taxation authorities in the event that there is a distribution from your contract that may have tax consequences and in certain other circumstances. In order to comply with our requirements, from time to time, we request that the policyholder provide certain information, including social security number or tax identification number and current address.

In addition to information reporting, we are also required to withhold federal income taxes on the taxable portion of any amounts received under the contract unless you elect to not have any withholding or in certain other circumstances. You are not permitted to elect out of withholding if you do not provide a social security number or other taxpayer identification number. Special withholding rules apply to payments made to nonresident aliens.

You are liable for payment of federal income taxes on the taxable portion of any amounts received under the policy. You may be subject to penalties if your withholding or estimated tax payments are insufficient. Certain states also require withholding of state income taxes on the taxable portion of amounts received. State laws differ regarding the procedure by which these amounts are computed and the extent to which a policyholder can elect out of withholding.

In 2004, the Department of Treasury ruled that income received by residents of Puerto Rico under a life insurance policy issued by a United States company is U.S.-source income that is subject to United States Federal income tax. This ruling is also understood to apply to other nonresident alien policyholders. Although the ruling was directed at a life insurance policy, it may also apply to an annuity contract.

Spousal Definition

Federal law requires that under the Internal Revenue Code, the special provisions relating to a “spouse” relate only to persons considered as spouses under the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), Pub. L. 104-199. Under this Act, same-sex marriages, civil union partners, domestic partners or others in like status currently are not recognized as spouses for purposes of federal law. Therefore, any options afforded by federal tax law to a “spouse “under the Code are currently not available to a same-sex spouse, domestic partner, civil union partner or other in like status. Same-sex spouses, civil union partners, domestic partners and others who own or are considering the purchase of annuity products that provide benefits based upon status as a spouse should consult a tax advisor.

Seek Tax Advice

The above description of federal income tax consequences of the different types of qualified plans which may be funded by the contracts offered by this prospectus is only a brief summary meant to alert you to the issues and is not intended as tax advice. The rules governing the provisions of qualified plans and IRAs are extremely complex and often difficult to comprehend. Anything less than full compliance with the applicable rules, all of which are subject to change, may have adverse tax consequences. A prospective Policyholder considering adoption of a qualified plan and purchase of a contract in connection therewith should first consult a qualified tax advisor, with regard to the suitability of the contract as an investment vehicle for the qualified plan or IRA.

Sales of Variable Accumulation Contracts

Phoenix has designated Phoenix Equity Planning Corporation (“PEPCO”) to serve as the principal underwriter and distributor of the securities offered through this Prospectus, pursuant to the terms of a distribution agreement. PEPCO, which is an affiliate of the Phoenix, also acts as the principal underwriter and distributor of other variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies issued by the Phoenix and its affiliated companies. Phoenix reimburses PEPCO for expenses PEPCO incurs in distributing the Contracts (e.g. commissions payable to retail broker-dealers who sell the Contracts). PEPCO does not retain any fees under the Contracts; however, PEPCO may receive 12b-1 fees from the underlying funds.

PEPCO’s principal executive offices are located at 610 W. Germantown Pike, Suite 460, Plymouth Meeting, PA 19462. PEPCO is registered as a broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as the securities commissions in the states in which it operates, and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or (“FINRA”) (formerly known as the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or NASD).

PEPCO and Phoenix enter into selling agreements with broker-dealers who are registered with the SEC and are members of FINRA, and with entities that may offer the Contracts but are exempt from registration. Applications for the Contract are solicited by registered representatives who are associated persons of such broker-dealer firms. Such representatives act as appointed agents of Phoenix under applicable state insurance law and must be licensed to sell variable insurance products. Phoenix intends to offer the Contract in all jurisdictions where it is licensed to do business and where the Contract is approved. The Contracts are offered on a continuous basis.

On January 6, 2010 Phoenix announced that it had signed a definitive agreement with Tiptree Financial Partners, LP for it to acquire the Phoenix private placement insurance business, PFG Holdings, Inc., including PEPCO, the principal underwriter and distributor for the Phoenix variable annuity, life insurance, and SEC registered products (“SEC registered products”). The transaction, which is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, is expected to close in the second quarter of 2010. It is expected that PEPCO will be replaced by a Phoenix affiliated broker-dealer, 1851 Securities, Inc. Phoenix filed a new member application for 1851 Securities, Inc. with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority on February 26, 2010. Phoenix expects 1851 Securities, Inc. to become the principal underwriter and distributor for the SEC registered products on or before September 30, 2010.

Compensation

Broker-dealers who have selling agreements with PEPCO and Phoenix are paid compensation for the promotion and sale of the Contracts. Registered representatives who solicit sales of the Contract typically receive a portion of the compensation payable to the broker-dealer firm, depending on the agreement between the firm and the registered representative. A broker-dealer firm or registered representative of a firm may receive different compensation for selling one product over another and/or may be inclined to favor or disfavor one product provider over another product provider due to differing compensation rates.

We generally pay compensation as a percentage of purchase payments invested in the Contract. Alternatively, we may pay lower compensation on purchase payments but pay periodic asset-based compensation in all or some years based on all or a portion of the Contract Value. The amount and timing of compensation may vary depending on the selling agreement and the payment option selected by the broker- dealer and/or the registered representative but is not expected to exceed 8.0% of purchase payments if up-front compensation is paid to registered representatives and up to 2.5% annually of contract value (if asset based compensation is paid).

To the extent permitted by FINRA rules, overrides and promotional incentives or cash and non-cash payments also may be provided to such broker-dealers based on sales volumes, the assumption of wholesaling functions, or other sales-related criteria. Additional payments may be made for other services not directly related to the sale of the contract, including the recruitment and training of personnel, production of promotional literature and similar services.

This Contract does not assess a front-end sales charge, so you do not directly pay for sales and distribution expenses. Instead, you indirectly pay for sales and distribution expenses through the overall charges and fees assessed under the Contract. For example, any profits Phoenix may realize through assessing the mortality and expense risk charge under your Contract may be used to pay for sales and distribution expenses. Phoenix may also pay for sales and distribution expenses out of any payments Phoenix or PEPCO may receive from the underlying funds for providing administrative, marketing and other support and services to the underlying funds. If your Contract assesses a surrender charge, proceeds from this charge may be used to reimburse Phoenix for sales and distribution expenses. No additional sales compensation is paid if you select any optional benefits under your Contract.

We have unique arrangements for compensation with select broker-dealer firms based on the firm’s aggregate or anticipated sales of contracts or other factors. We enter into such arrangements at our discretion and we may negotiate customized arrangements with firms based on various criteria. As such, special compensation arrangements are not offered to all broker-dealer firms. Compensation payments made under such arrangements will not result in any additional charge to you.

Servicing Agent

The Phoenix Edge Series Fund reimburses Phoenix Life Insurance Company for various shareholder services provided by the Annuity Operations Division, PO Box 8027, Boston, MA 02266-8027. The functions performed include investor inquiry support, shareholder trading, confirmation of investment activity, quarterly statement processing and Web/Interactive Voice Response trading. The total administrative service fees paid by the fund for the last three fiscal years were based on a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:

Year Ended December 31, Fee Paid
2007 $1.7 Million
2008 $1.3 Million
2009 $1.7 Million


For 2010, The Phoenix Edge Series Fund will reimburse Phoenix Life Insurance Company a flat fee rate of $1.5 million, which will be paid on a weighted average basis based on the net asset value of each Fund.

State Regulation

We are subject to the provisions of the New York insurance laws applicable to life insurance companies and to regulation and supervision by the New York Superintendent of Insurance. We also are subject to the applicable insurance laws of all the other states and jurisdictions in which we do an insurance business.

State regulation of Phoenix includes certain limitations on the investments that may be made for its General Account and separate accounts, including the Separate Account. It does not include, however, any supervision over the investment policies of the Separate Account.

Reports

Reports showing the contract value will be furnished to you at least annually.

Voting Rights

As stated above, all of the assets held in an available investment option will be invested in shares of a corresponding series of the funds. We are the legal owner of those shares and, as such, have the right to vote to elect the Board of Trustees of the funds, to vote upon certain matters that are required by the 1940 Act to be approved or ratified by the shareholders of a mutual fund and to vote upon any other matter that may be voted upon at a shareholders’ meeting.

We will send you or, if permitted by law, make available electronically, proxy material, reports and other materials relevant to the investment options in which you have a voting interest. In order to vote you must complete the proxy form and return it with your voting instructions. You may also be able to vote your interest by telephone or over the Internet if such instructions are included in the proxy material. We will vote all of the shares we own on your behalf, in accordance with your instructions. We will vote the shares for which we do not receive instructions, and any other shares we own, in the same proportion as the shares for which we do receive instructions. This process may result in a small number of contract owners controlling the vote.

In the future, to the extent applicable federal securities laws or regulations permit us to vote some or all shares of the fund in its own right, we may elect to do so.

Matters on which owners may give voting instructions may include the following: (1) election or removal of the Board of Trustees of a fund; (2) ratification of the independent accountant for a fund; (3) approval or amendment of the investment advisory agreement for the series of the fund corresponding to the owner’s selected investment option(s); (4) any change in the fundamental investment policies or restrictions of each such series; and (5) any other matter requiring a vote of the shareholders of a fund. With respect to amendment of any investment advisory agreement or any change in a series’ fundamental investment policy, owners participating in such series will vote separately on the matter. The number of votes that you have the right to cast will be determined by applying your percentage interest in an investment option to the total number of votes attributable to the investment option. In determining the number of votes, fractional shares will be recognized. The number of votes for which you may give us instructions will be determined as of the record date for fund shareholders chosen by the Board of Trustees of a fund. The Phoenix Companies, Inc. – Legal Proceedings about Company Subsidiaries

We are regularly involved in litigation and arbitration, both as a defendant and as a plaintiff. The litigation and arbitration naming us as a defendant ordinarily involves our activities as an insurer, employer, investor or investment advisor. It is not feasible to predict or determine the ultimate outcome of all legal or arbitration proceedings or to provide reasonable ranges of potential losses. Based on current information, we believe that the outcomes of our litigation and arbitration matters are not likely, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. However, given the large or indeterminate amounts sought in certain of these matters and the inherent unpredictability of litigation and arbitration, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or cash flows in particular quarterly or annual periods.

State regulatory bodies, the SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), the IRS and other regulatory bodies regularly make inquiries of us and, from time to time, conduct examinations or investigations concerning our compliance with laws and regulations related to, among other things, our insurance and broker-dealer subsidiaries, securities offerings and registered products. We endeavor to respond to such inquiries in an appropriate way and to take corrective action if warranted.

For example, in fourth quarter of 2008, the New York State Insurance Department completed the on-site portion and initiated the off-site portion of its routine quinquennial financial and market conduct exam of Phoenix Life and its New York domiciled life insurance subsidiary for the five year period ending December 31, 2007.

Regulatory actions may be difficult to assess or quantify, may seek recovery of indeterminate amounts, including punitive and treble damages, and the nature and magnitude of their outcomes may remain unknown for substantial periods of time. It is not feasible to predict or determine the ultimate outcome of all pending inquiries, investigations, legal proceedings and other regulatory actions, or to provide reasonable ranges of potential losses. Based on current information, we believe that the outcomes of our regulatory matters are not likely, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. However, given the large or indeterminate amounts sought in certain of these actions and the inherent unpredictability of regulatory matters, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect on our results of operation or cash flows in particular quarterly or annual periods.

NOTE: The above tax deduction rates are as of January 1, 2010. No tax deductions are made for states not listed above. However, tax statutes are subject to amendment by legislative act and to judicial and administrative interpretation, which may affect both the above lists of states and the applicable tax rates. Consequently, we reserve the right to deduct tax when necessary to reflect changes in state tax laws or interpretation.

For a more detailed explanation of the assessment of taxes, see “Deductions and Charges—Tax.”


1 South Dakota law exempts premiums received on qualified contracts from premium tax. Additionally, South Dakota law provides a lower rate of 0.8% that applies to premium payments received in excess of $500,000 in a single calendar year.
2 Texas charges an insurance department “maintenance fee” of .04% on annuity considerations, but the department allows this to be paid upon annuitization.

Phoenix Life Insurance Company

 

On June 25, 2001, Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company (a New York mutual life insurance company incorporated on May 1, 1851, originally chartered in Connecticut in 1851 and redomiciled to New York in 1992), converted to a stock life insurance company by “demutualizing” pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by the New York Superintendent of Insurance and changed its name to Phoenix Life Insurance Company (“Phoenix”). As part of the demutualization, Phoenix became a wholly owned subsidiary of The Phoenix Companies, Inc., a newly formed, publicly traded Delaware corporation. Our executive and main administrative offices are at One American Row, Hartford, Connecticut, 06102-5056. Our New York principal office is at 31 Tech Valley Drive East Greenbush, New York 12061. We sell life insurance policies and annuity contracts through producers of affiliated distribution companies and through brokers.

Underwriter

 

Phoenix Equity Planning Corporate ("PEPCO"), an affiliate of PHL Variable, as underwriter offers these contracts on a continuous basis. PEPCO is not compensated for any underwriting commissions. All underwriting commission costs are borne directly by PHL Variable. PEPCO's principle business address is 610 West Germantown Pike, Suite 460, Plymouth Meeting, PA 19462. PEPCO is an affiliated subsidiary of both the Separate Account and Phoenix.

On January 6, 2010 Phoenix announced that it had signed a definitive agreement with Tiptree Financial Partners, LP for it to acquire the Phoenix private placement insurance business, PFG Holdings, Inc., including PEPCO, the principal underwriter and distributor for the Phoenix variable annuity, life insurance, and SEC registered products (“SEC registered products”). The transaction, which is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, is expected to close in the second quarter of 2010. It is expected that PEPCO will be replaced by a Phoenix affiliated broker-dealer, 1851 Securities, Inc. Phoenix filed a new member application for 1851 Securities, Inc. with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority on February 26, 2010. Phoenix expects 1851 Securities, Inc. to become the principal underwriter and distributor for the SEC registered products on or before September 30, 2010.

Performance History/Calculation of Yield and Return

 

 

 

For detailed performance history, please visit our website at www.phoenixwm.com. The rates of return shown are not an estimate nor are they a guarantee of future performance. The performance history shown is solely for the underlying investment portfolios. They do not illustrate how actual performance will affect the benefits under your policy because they do not account for any of the charges and deductions that apply to your policy value.

Yield of the Phoenix Money Market1 Investment Option. We calculate the yield of the Phoenix Money Market Investment Option for a 7-day “base period” by determining the “net change in value” of a hypothetical pre-existing account. We assume the hypothetical account had an initial balance of one share at the beginning of the base period. We then determine what the value of the hypothetical account would have been at the end of the 7-day base period. The end value minus the initial value gives us the net change in value for the hypothetical account. The net change in value can then be divided by the initial value giving us

the base period return (one week’s return). To find the equivalent annual return we multiply the base period return by 365/7. The equivalent effective annual yield differs from the annual return because we assume all returns are reinvested in the investment option. We carry results to the nearest hundredth of one percent.

The net change in value of the hypothetical account includes the daily net investment income of the account (after expenses), but does not include realized gains or losses or unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the underlying fund shares.

The yield/return calculations include a mortality and expense risk charge equal to 1.00% or 1.25% (depending on contract form) on an annual basis, and, for some contracts, a daily administrative fee equal to 0.125% on an annual basis.

The Phoenix Money Market Investment Option return and effective yield will vary in response to fluctuations in interest rates and in the expenses of the investment option.

We do not include the maximum annual administrative fee in calculating the current return and effective yield. Should such a fee apply to your account, current return and/or effective yield for your account could be reduced.

Example Calculations:

The following examples of return/yield calculations for the Phoenix Money Market Investment Option were based on the 7-day period ending December 31, 2009:

 

Example for The Big Edge:

Value of hypothetical pre-existing account with exactly one Unit at the beginning of the period:

   $ 1.000000

Value of the same account (excluding capital changes) at the end of the 7-day period:

     0.999810
Calculation:   

Ending account value

     0.999810

Less beginning account value

     1.000000

Net change in account value

     -0.000190

Base period return:

(net change/beginning account value)

     -0.000190

Current yield = return x (365/7) =

     -0.99%

Effective yield = [(1 + return)365/7] – 1 =

     -0.99%

 

Example for Group Strategic Edge, Big Edge Plus:

Value of hypothetical pre-existing account with exactly one Unit at the beginning of the period:

   $ 1.000000

Value of the same account (excluding capital changes) at the end of the 7-day period:

     0.999762
Calculation:   

Ending account value

     0.999762

Less beginning account value

     1.000000

Net change in account value

     -0.000238

Base period return:

(net change/beginning account value)

     -0.000238

Current yield = return x (365/7) =

     -1.24%

Effective yield = [(1 + return)365/7] – 1 =

     -1.23%

 

3


Example for The Big Edge Choice for New York (reflects daily administrative fee):

Value of hypothetical pre-existing account with exactly one Unit at the beginning of the period:

   $ 1.000000

Value of the same account (excluding capital changes) at the end of the 7-day period:

     0.999738
Calculation:   

Ending account value

     0.999738

Less beginning account value

     1.000000

Net change in account value

     -0.000262
Base period return:   

(net change/beginning account value)

     -0.000262

Current yield = return x (365/7) =

     -1.36%

Effective yield = [(1 + return)365/7] – 1 =

     -1.36%

Yields and total returns may be higher or lower than in the past and there is no assurance that any historical results will continue.

Calculation of Total Return. Total return measures the change in value of an investment option investment over a stated period. We compute total returns by finding the average annual compounded rates of return over the one-, five- and ten-year periods that would equate the initial amount invested to the ending redeemable value according to a formula. The formula for total return includes the following steps:

 

(1) We assume a hypothetical $1,000 initial investment in the investment option;

 

(2) We determine the value the hypothetical initial investment would have were it redeemed at the end of each period. All recurring fees and any applicable contingent deferred sales charge are deducted. This figure is the ending redeemable value (ERV in the formula given below);

 

(3) We divide this value by the initial $1,000 investment, resulting in a ratio of the ending redeemable value to the initial value for that period;

 

(4)

To get the average annual total return we take the nth root of the ratio from step (3), where n equals the number of years in that period (e.g., 1, 5, 10), and subtract one.

The formula in mathematical terms is:

R = ((ERV / II)(1/n)) – 1

Where:

 

II = a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000

 

R = average annual total return for the period

 

n = number of years in the period

 

ERV = ending redeemable value of the hypothetical $1,000
   for the period [see (2) and (3) above]

We normally calculate total return for 1-year, 5-year and 10-year periods for each investment option. If an investment option has not been available for at least 10 years, we will provide total returns for other relevant periods.

 

Performance Information

Advertisements, sales literature and other communications may contain information about a series’ or advisor’s current investment strategies and management style. An advisor may alter investment strategies and style in response to changing market and economic conditions. A fund may wish to make known a series’ specific portfolio holdings or holdings in specific industries. A fund may also separately illustrate the income and capital gain portions of a series’ total return. Performance might also be advertised by breaking down returns into equity and debt components. A series may compare its equity or bond return figure to any of a number of well-known benchmarks of market performance, including, but not limited to:

The Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM (1) (“DJIA”)

CS First Boston High Yield Index

Citigroup Corporate Index

Citigroup Government Bond Index

Standard & Poor’s 500 Index® (S&P 500)(2)

Each investment option may include its yield and total return in advertisements or communications with current or prospective contract owners. Each investment option may also include in such advertisements, its ranking or comparison to similar mutual funds by organizations such as:

Lipper Analytical Services

Morningstar, Inc.

Thomson Financial

A fund may also compare a series’ performance to other investment or savings vehicles (such as certificates of deposit) and may refer to results published in publications such as:

Barron’s

Business Week

Changing Times

Consumer Reports

Financial Planning

Financial Services Weekly

Financial World

Forbes

Fortune

Investor’s Business Daily

Money

Personal Investor

Registered Representative

The New York Times

The Wall Street Journal

U.S. News and World Report

A fund may also illustrate the benefits of tax deferral by comparing taxable investments with investments through tax-deferred retirement plans.

The total return and yield may be used to compare the performance of the investment options with certain commonly used standards for stock and bond market performance. Such indices include, but are not limited to:

The Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM (1)  (“DJIA”)

CS First Boston High Yield Index

Calculation of Annuity Payments

 

See your prospectus in the section titled “The Annuity Period” for a description of the annuity options and restrictions.

You may elect an annuity payment option by written request as described in your prospectus. If you do not elect an annuity payment option, amounts held under the contract will be applied to provide a Variable Payment Life Annuity with 10-year period certain (Option I) on the maturity date. You may not change your election after the first annuity payment.

Fixed Annuity Payments

Fixed annuity payments are determined by the total dollar value for all investment options’ accumulation units and all amounts held in the GIA. For each contract the resulting dollar value is then multiplied by the applicable annuity purchase rate, which reflects the age (and sex for nontax-qualified plans) of the annuitant or annuitants, for the fixed payment annuity option selected.

The guaranteed annuity payment rates will be no less favorable than the following: under Options A, B, D, E and F rates are based on the a-49 Annuity Table(4) projected to 1985 with Projection Scale B. We use an interest rate of 3 3/ 8% for 5- and 10-year periods certain under Option A, for the 10-year period certain under Option F, and for Option E; an interest rate of 3 1/4% for the 20-year period certain under Options A and F; an interest rate of 3 1/2% under Options B and D. Under Options G and H, the guaranteed interest rate is 3%.

It is possible that we may have more favorable (i.e., higher-paying) rates in effect on the settlement date.

Variable Annuity Payments

Under all variable annuity payment options except Option L, the first payment is based on an assumed annual interest rate of 4 1/2%. Should the assumed rate result in a first payment larger than permitted by state law, we will select a lower rate. All subsequent payments may be higher or lower depending on investment experience of the investment options.

Under Options I, J, K, M and N, we determine the first payment by multiplying the amounts held under the selected annuity payment option in each investment option by the applicable annuity payment option rate, which reflects the age (and sex for nontax-qualified plans) of the annuitant or annuitants. The first payment equals the total of such amounts determined for each investment option. We determine future payments under these options by multiplying the contract value in each investment option (Number of Annuity Units times the Annuity Unit Value) by the applicable annuity payment option rate on the payment calculation date. The payment will equal the sum of the amounts provided by each investment option investment.

Under Option L, we determine the amount of the annual distribution by dividing the amount of contract value held under

this annuity payment option on December 31 of the previous year by the life expectancy of the annuitant or the joint life expectancy of the annuitant and joint annuitant at that time.

Under Options I, J, M and N, the applicable annuity payment option rate used to determine the first payment amount will not be less than the rate based on the 1983 Table A (1983 IAM)(4) projected with Projection Scale G to the year 2040, and with continued projection thereafter, and on the assumed interest rate. Under Option K, the rate will be based on the number of payments to be made during the specified period and the assumed interest rate.

We deduct a daily charge for mortality and expense risks and a daily administrative fee from contract values held in the investment options. See your prospectus in the section titled “Deductions and Charges.” Electing Option K will result in a mortality risk deduction being made even though we assume no mortality risk under that option.

The Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM (DJIASM) is an unweighted(3) index of 30 industrial “blue chip” U.S. stocks. It is the oldest continuing U.S. market index. The 30 stocks now in the DJIASM are both widely-held and a major influence in their respective industries. The average is computed in such a way as to preserve its historical continuity and account for such factors as stock splits and periodic changes in the components of the index. The editors of The Wall Street Journal select the component stocks of the DJIASM.

The S&P 500 is a free-float market capitalization-weighted(3) index composed of 500 stocks chosen for market size, liquidity, and industry group representation. It is one of the most widely used indicators of U.S. Stock Market performance. The composition of the S&P 500 changes from time to time. Standard & Poor’s Index Committee makes all decisions about the S&P 500.

Weighted and unweighted indexes: A market-value, or capitalization, weighted index uses relative market value (share price multiplied by the number of shares outstanding) to “weight” the influence of a stock’s price on the index. Simply put, larger companies’ stock prices influence the index more than smaller companies’ stock prices. An unweighted index (such as the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM ) uses stock price alone to determine the index value. A company’s relative size has no bearing on its impact on the index.

Additionally, policy owners may direct the allocation of their investments between the Separate Account and the Guaranteed Interest Account.

Under applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities of the Separate Account are clearly identified and distinguished from Phoenix Life Insurance Company’s other asset and liabilities. The portion of the Separate Account’s assets applicable to the variable annuity contracts may not be used to pay liabilities arising out of any other business Phoenix Life Insurance Company may conduct.

Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Separate Account, which are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America in the investment company industry:

 

A. Valuation of investments: Investments are made exclusively in the Funds and are valued at the reported net asset values per share of the respective investment options.

 

B. Investment transactions and related income: Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on the sales of shares of the Funds are computed on the basis of the identified cost of the share sold. Dividend income and gains from investments are recorded on the ex-distribution date.

PHOENIX LIFE VARIABLE ACCUMULATION ACCOUNT

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

C. Income taxes: The Separate Account is not a separate entity from Phoenix, and under current federal income tax law, income arising from the Separate Account is not taxed since reserves are established equivalent to such income. Therefore, no provision for related federal taxes is required.

 

D. Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

E. Distributions: Distributions from the Funds are recorded by each investment option on the ex-dividend date.

 

F. Security Valuation: The Separate Account utilizes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels.

 

  ·  

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

  ·  

Level 2 – prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

  ·  

Level 3 – prices determined using significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Investments in portfolio shares are valued using the net asset value of the respective portfolios at the end of each New York Stock Exchange business day, as determined by the respective fund manager. Investments held by the Separate Account are Level 1 of the hierarchy.

1 The investment income ratios represent the annualized dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the Investment Option from the underlying mutual fund, net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by the daily average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges that are assessed against contract owner accounts either through reductions in the unit values or the redemption of units. The recognition of investment income by the Investment Option is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the Investment Option invests.

2 The expense ratios 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 of unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying fund have been excluded.

3 The total returns are for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund, and the expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values. These ratios do not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units. Investment options with a date notation indicate the effective date of that investment option in the variable account. The total return is calculated for each period indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. Total return is presented as the minimum and maximum return for the units invested in the Investment Option. While the Investment Option may be active in a given year, certain units may be initiated during the year. The corresponding return on those units, which is for the partial year, may cause the minimum and maximum total return for all the units in that Investment Option to deviate outside the range of the expense ratios presented.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 6—Fees and Related Party Transactions

Phoenix and its affiliate, Phoenix Equity Planning Corporation (“PEPCO”), a registered broker/dealer in securities, provide all services to the Separate Account. PEPCO is the principal underwriter and distributor for the Separate Account (see note 12).

Certain fees are deducted from the Contracts. To understand all of the charges that are assessed, a policyholder may refer to their policy contract provided at issue or the most recent product prospectus provided annually. Those fees are described below:

 

A) Contract Maintenance Charges

The Separate Account is assessed periodic Contract Maintenance Charges which are designed to compensate Phoenix for certain costs associated with maintenance. These expenses are included in a separate line item entitled “Contract Maintenance Charges” in the accompanying statements of changes in net assets. The total aggregate expense for the periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $1,113,622 and $1,059,343 respectively. The charges assessed the Separate Account for Contract Maintenance Charges are outlined as follows:

Administration Charge – Phoenix will make deductions to cover administrative expenses at a maximum annual rate of $35 for an individual contract, and a maximum of $500 per group contract (Group Strategic Edge contracts only).

Policy Surrender Charge – In accordance with terms of the contracts, Phoenix makes deductions for surrender charges. Because a policy’s account value and policy duration may vary, the surrender charge may also vary.

Other Charges – Phoenix may deduct other costs depending on the policy terms.

All of the above expenses are taken out as a redemption of units.

 

B) Optional Rider and Benefit Charges

Phoenix may deduct other charges and fees based on the selection of Other Optional Policy Benefits and Riders. These expenses are included in a separate line item entitled “Transfers for contract benefits and terminations” in the accompanying statements of changes in net assets. This expense is taken out as a redemption of units.

 

C) Mortality and Expense Fee and Administration Fee Charges

Phoenix will make deductions at a maximum rate of 2.25% of the contracts value for the mortality and expense risks and 0.125% for administration fees, which the company undertakes. These expenses are included in separate line items “Mortality and Expense Fees” and “Administration Fees” in the accompanying statements of operations. The total aggregate expense for the periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $7,131,089 and $9,884,230, respectively. This expense is taken out as a reduction of unit values.

Note 7—Distribution of Net Income

The Separate Account does not declare distributions to participants from accumulated net income. The accumulated net income is distributed to participants as part of withdrawals of amounts in the form of surrenders, death benefits, transfers or annuity payments in excess of net purchase payments.

Note 8—Diversification Requirements

Under the provisions of Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) as amended, a variable contract, other than a contract issued in connection with certain types of employee benefit plans, will not be treated as a variable contract for federal tax purposes for any period for which the investments of the segregated asset account on which the contract is based are not adequately diversified. Each investment option is required to satisfy the requirements of Section 817(h). The Code provides that the “adequately diversified” requirement may be met if the underlying investments satisfy either the statutory safe harbor test or diversification requirements set forth in regulations issued by the Secretary of the Treasury.

Phoenix intends that each of the investment options shall comply with the diversification requirements and, in the event of any failure to comply, will take immediate corrective action to assure compliance.

Note 9—Manager of Managers Exemptive Order

The Phoenix Edge Series Fund (“PESF”) and Phoenix Variable Advisors, Inc. (“PVA”) have received an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) granting exemptions from certain provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, pursuant to which PVA will, subject to supervision and approval of the PESF’s Board of Trustees, be permitted to enter into and materially amend subadvisory agreements without such agreements being approved by the shareholders of the applicable series of the PESF. The PESF and PVA will therefore have the right to hire, terminate, or replace subadvisors without shareholder approval, including, without limitation, the replacement or reinstatement of any subadvisor with respect to which a subadvisory agreement has automatically terminated as a result of an assignment. PVA will continue to have the ultimate responsibility to oversee the subadvisors and recommend their hiring, termination and replacement.

Note 10—Mixed and Shared Funding

Shares of the PESF are not directly offered to the public. Shares of the PESF are currently offered through Separate Accounts to fund variable accumulation annuity contracts and variable universal life insurance policies issued by Phoenix Life Insurance Company, PHL Variable Insurance Company, and Phoenix Life and Annuity Company. Shares of the PESF may be offered to separate accounts of other insurance companies in the future.

The interests of variable annuity contract owners and variable life policy owners could diverge based on differences in federal and state regulatory requirements, tax laws, investment management or other unanticipated developments. The PESF’s Trustees currently do not foresee any such differences or disadvantages at this time. However, the PESF’s Trustees intend to monitor for any material conflicts and will determine what action, if any, should be taken in response to such conflicts. If such a conflict should occur, one or more separate accounts may be required to withdraw its investment in the PESF or shares of another fund may be substituted.

Note 11—Other

In light of recent downgrades to the financial strength ratings of the Sponsors of the Separate Accounts, Phoenix or its affiliated insurers, and the decline in sales through traditional distribution sources of the Sponsor’s variable products, the Sponsor’s parent company, PNX, initiated a business plan that shifts the focus of new business development to areas that are less capital intensive, less ratings sensitive and not dependent on particular distributors. This plan leverages existing strengths and includes a newly formed distribution subsidiary of PNX, Saybrus Partners, Inc., repositioning some of the Sponsor’s core life and annuity products for the middle market and establishing new relationships with distributors within that market, and identifying market opportunities for the Sponsor’s alternative retirement solutions products.

Suspension of Distribution Relationships

The insurance company affiliates of the Separate Account distribute the Sponsor’s products through non-affiliated advisors, broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries. In March 2009, State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company (“State Farm”) suspended the sale of Phoenix products pending a re-evaluation of the relationship between the two companies. During 2008, State Farm was the Sponsor’s largest distributor of annuity and life insurance products accounting for approximately 27% of the Sponsor’s total life insurance premiums and approximately 68% of the Sponsor’s annuity deposits. On July 30, 2009, the Sponsor’s parent company restructured its agreement with State Farm, amending the existing agreement to clarify the service and support it will provide to customers who purchased their policies and contracts through a State Farm agent, as well as State Farm agents themselves. The restructured agreement does not provide for any new sales of the Sponsor’s products through the State Farm distribution system. Approximately 90,000 of the Sponsor’s inforce policies and contracts were sold through State Farm agents.

Also in March 2009, National Life Group suspended the sale of Phoenix products. In 2008, National Life was the Sponsor’s second largest distributor of annuity products accounting for approximately 14% of the Sponsor’s annuity deposits.

Ratings

Rating agencies assign financial strength ratings to Phoenix and its subsidiaries based on their opinions of the Companies’ ability to meet their financial obligations.

In the second half of 2008, A.M. Best Company, Inc., Moody’s Investors Service and Standard & Poor’s, respectively, each revised its outlook for the U.S. life insurance sector to negative from stable, citing, among other things, the significant deterioration and volatility in the credit and equity markets, economic and political uncertainty, and the expected impact of realized and unrealized investment losses on life insurers’ capital levels and profitability.

Note 11—Other (Continued)

On September 8, 2009, Moody’s Investor Services downgraded the Sponsor’s financial strength rating of Baa2 to Ba1. They maintained their negative outlook. On March 10, 2009, Moody’s Investor Services downgraded the Sponsor’s financial strength rating to Baa2 from Baa1.

On May 4, 2009, the Sponsor’s parent company, PNX, informed Fitch Ratings Ltd. that, due to its expense management initiatives, it would no longer provide non-public information to the agency and would cease paying annual rating fees.

Given these developments, it is possible that rating agencies will heighten the level of scrutiny that they apply to the Sponsor, will request additional information from the Sponsor, and may adjust upward the capital and other requirements employed in their models for maintenance of certain rating levels.

The Sponsor cannot predict what additional actions rating agencies may take, or what actions the Sponsor may take in response to the actions of rating agencies, which could adversely affect the Sponsor’s business. As with other companies in the financial services industry, the Sponsor’s ratings could be downgraded at any time and without any notice by any rating agency.

See Note 14 of these financial statements for the current ratings.

Effective May 1, 2008, the Board of Trustees of the Fund approved changes in subadvisor for the Capital Growth Series and the Small-Cap Growth Series. Effective September 15, 2008, Neuberger Berman Management, Inc. is the subadvisor for the Capital Growth Series, replacing Harris Investment Management, Inc. and the Small-Cap Growth Series (formerly Phoenix-Alger Small-Cap Growth Series), replacing Fred Alger Management, Inc.

Note 12—Spin-Off of Asset Management

At end of business December 31, 2008, PNX spun off the asset management segment of its business, Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. (“Virtus”) and its subsidiaries, to PNX’s shareholders. Virtus is now an independent publicly traded company. Virtus is the holding company for various asset management subsidiaries, including the Virtus Investment Advisers, Inc. (formerly Phoenix Investment Counsel, Inc.), the subadvisor to the Phoenix Growth & Income Series and Phoenix Strategic Allocation Series, and Duff & Phelps Investment Management Company, the subadvisor to the Phoenix-Duff & Phelps Real Estate Securities Series.

As a result of this spin-off, PEPCO, a registered broker/dealer in securities, is no longer an affiliate of Phoenix. PEPCO operated as the principal underwriter and distributor for the Separate Account under a separate interim service agreement for the period January 1, 2009 to February 4, 2009. Effective February 5, 2009 the principal underwriter and distributor for the Separate Account became PFG Distribution Company, a subsidiary of Philadelphia Financial Group, Inc. (an affiliate of Phoenix). On February 5, 2009 PEPCO, under Virtus, changed its name to VP Distributors, Inc. and PFG Distribution Company changed its name to PEPCO.

Goodwin Capital Advisors, Inc., subadvisor to Phoenix Money Market Series, Phoenix Multi-Sector Fixed Income Series, Phoenix Multi-Sector Short Term Bond Series, and the Phoenix Strategic Allocation Series, remained a subsidiary of Phoenix.

Note 13—Liquidations

On September 25, 2009, The AllianceBernstein VPS Wealth Appreciation Strategy Portfolio – Class B Fund was liquidated pursuant to approval of its Board. On that date the VPS Wealth Appreciation Strategy Portfolio involuntarily redeemed its outstanding shares. Contract value in the VPS Wealth Appreciation Strategy Portfolio was automatically transferred to the Phoenix Money Market Series.

Note 14—Subsequent Events

On January 6, 2010, PNX announced that it had signed a definitive agreement with Tiptree Financial Partners, LP for it to acquire Phoenix’s private placement insurance business, PFG Holdings, Inc., including PEPCO, the principal underwriter for the Fund. The transaction, which is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, is expected to close in the second quarter of 2010. It is expected that PEPCO will be replaced by a PNX affiliated broker-dealer, 1851 Securities, Inc., subject to the approval of the Board of Trustees. PNX filed a new member application for 1851 Securities, Inc. with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority on February 26, 2010.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors of Phoenix Life Insurance Company and

Participants of Phoenix Life Variable Accumulation Account:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the subaccounts of the Phoenix Life Variable Accumulation Account (as listed in the statements of assets and liabilities and statements of operations) at December 31, 2009, and the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, and the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2009, and the financial highlights for the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of Phoenix Life Insurance Company’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements 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. An audit 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, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2009 by correspondence with the mutual funds’ advisors, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of

  Phoenix Life Insurance Company:


In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, statements of cash flows and statements of changes in stockholder's equity present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Phoenix Life Insurance Company and its subsidiaries (the Company) at December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.  We conducted our audits of these statements 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.  An audit 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.


As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, subsequent to the first quarter of 2009, the Company has had minimal sales of life and annuity products.  As discussed in Note 23 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company had downgrades from two rating agencies.

Phoenix Life Insurance Company

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

($ in millions)

Years Ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007



1.

Organization and Description of Business


Phoenix Life Insurance Company and its subsidiaries (together, “the Company” or “Phoenix Life”) offer a broad range of life insurance and annuity products in the United States of America. Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company demutualized on June 25, 2001 by converting from a mutual life insurance company to a stock life insurance company, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Phoenix Companies, Inc. (“The Phoenix Companies” or “PNX”), a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange, and changed its name to Phoenix Life Insurance Company. Our consolidated financial statements include the results of our closed block of business created at the time of demutualization.


We provide life insurance and annuity products through third-party distributors, supported by wholesalers and financial planning specialists employed by us. Our historical expertise is in the high-net-worth and affluent market; more recently, we also have begun to focus on the needs of the broader middle market. Our products include universal life, variable life, and variable annuities.


In 2009, we reported the results of our private placement operation as discontinued operations. As such, the consolidated balance sheets have been presented with the gross assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in separate lines and the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income have been presented with the net results from discontinued operations, shown after the results from continuing operations. For comparative purposes, we have reclassified our prior period financial presentation to conform to this change.


Subsequent to the first quarter of 2009, when we lost several key distribution partners and experienced downgrades to our ratings, the Company has had minimal sales of its life and annuity products.



2.

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies


We have prepared these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) which differ materially from the accounting practices prescribed by various insurance regulatory authorities. Our consolidated financial statements include certain sponsored collateralized obligation trusts as described in Note 11 to these financial statements. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidating these financial statements. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.


Use of estimates


In preparing these financial statements in conformity with GAAP, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and assumptions are made in the determination of estimated gross profits used in the valuation and amortization of assets and liabilities associated with deferred policy acquisition costs; policyholder liabilities and accruals; the valuation of investments in debt and equity securities and venture capital partnerships; the valuation of deferred tax assets; and accruals for contingent liabilities.

Risks Associated with Current Economic Market Conditions and Industry Trends


The risks we face related to general economic and business conditions are pronounced given the severity and magnitude of recent adverse economic and market conditions and the likely continuation of these conditions through 2010. Higher unemployment, lower family income, lower corporate earnings, lower business investment and lower consumer spending may depress the demand for life insurance, annuities and investment products and result in higher lapses or surrenders of life and annuity products. More specifically, our business is exposed to the performance of the debt and equity markets. Adverse market conditions may result in a lack of buyers for certain assets, volatility, credit spread changes and benchmark interest rate changes. Each of these factors has and may continue to impact the liquidity and value of our investments.


Further, recent trends in the life insurance industry may affect our mortality, persistency and funding levels. The evolution of the financial needs of policyholders and the emergence of a secondary market for life insurance and increased availability of premium financing suggest that the reasons for purchasing our products are changing. At the same time, we also experienced an increase in life insurance sales to older individuals. While we instituted certain controls and procedures to screen applicants, we believe that our sales of universal life products include sales of policies to third party investors who, at the time of policy origination, had no insurable interest in the insured. The effect that these changes may have on our actual experience and profitability will emerge over time.


Adoption of new accounting standards


Measuring the Fair Value of Alternative Investments


In September 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued amending guidance ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which provides a practical expedient in estimating the fair value of certain alternative investments. Under the practical expedient, entities are permitted to use net asset value (“NAV”) without adjustment unless it is probable the investment will be sold at something other than NAV. New disclosures of the attributes of all investments within the scope of this guidance is also required, regardless of whether the practical expedient was used to measure the fair value of any of its investments. The adoption of this new accounting guidance as of December 31, 2009 had no material effect on our consolidated financial statements.


The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles


In June, 2009, the FASB approved the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the single source of authoritative accounting guidance used in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP for all nongovernmental entities. The Codification is the single source of authoritative accounting principles for nongovernmental entities. The Codification supersedes all existing authoritative literature, except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC for registrants. The adoption of this new accounting guidance in the third quarter of 2009 had no material effect on our consolidated financial statements.


Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly


In April 2009, we adopted new guidance issued by the FASB related to determining fair value in an inactive market, including guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly or a market is not active. This accounting guidance, which is now part of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, provides additional guidance for determining fair value when relevant observable data does not exist; how observable market information in a market that is not active should be considered when measuring fair value and how the use of market quotes should be considered when assessing the relevance of observable and unobservable data available to measure fair value. The adoption of this new accounting guidance had no material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments


In April 2009, we adopted new accounting guidance issued by the FASB which amended other-than-temporary impairments guidance and modified the presentation and disclosure requirements for other-than-temporary impairments of debt securities. This accounting guidance, which is now a part of ASC 320, Investments – Debt & Equity Securities, modified the existing requirement from the intent and ability to hold a debt security, to an assessment of whether Phoenix Life intends to sell or if it is more likely than not that Phoenix Life will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery in value. This accounting guidance also modified the presentation of other-than-temporary impairments for certain debt securities for the bifurcation of an other-than-temporary impairment into an amount attributable to credit loss, recognized in earnings, and an amount attributable to other factors, recognized in other comprehensive income. In addition to the changes in measurement and presentation, the disclosures related to other-than-temporary impairments related to debt securities are expanded, with all such disclosures required for both interim and annual periods.


Adoption of this guidance was effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, with optional early adoption for periods ending after March 15, 2009. We elected to adopt this guidance for the quarter ending March 31, 2009. Upon adoption of this guidance, we calculated the credit and non-credit components of previously recognized other-than-temporary impairments and recorded the related impact as a cumulative effect adjustment in accumulated deficit and accumulated other comprehensive income, respectively. The cumulative-effect adjustment included related offsets such as deferred policy acquisition costs, policy dividend obligations in the closed block, and related tax effects. The cumulative effect recognized was $20.4 million after offsets and is reflected in stockholder’s equity. The cumulative effect consisted of a decrease to accumulated deficit of $11.8 million after offsets and a decrease to accumulated other comprehensive loss of $8.6 million after offsets, and included an adjustment of $12.6 million to the deferred tax valuation allowance


Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets


In January 2009, the FASB issued amended impairment guidance related to beneficial interests in securitized financial assets. The amended guidance, which is now part of ASC 325, Investment, requires that management judgment be used in assessing the probability that an adverse change in future cash flows has occurred rather than exclusively relying upon market participant assumptions. Our adoption of this guidance in the first quarter of 2009 had no material effect on our consolidated financial statements.


Disclosures about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities


In December 2008, the FASB issued amended guidance related to the transfer of financial assets and interests in variable interest entities. This guidance, which is now a part of ASC 810, Consolidation, requires public entities to provide additional disclosures about transfers of financial assets. The expanded guidance also requires sponsors that have a variable interest in a variable interest entity to provide additional disclosures about their involvement with variable interest entities. Our adoption in the first quarter of 2009 had no material effect on our consolidated financial statements.


Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees


In September 2008, the FASB issued an update to existing credit derivative guarantee guidance. The new guidance, which is now a part of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, introduced new disclosure requirements for credit derivatives and certain guarantees. Our adoption in the first quarter of 2009 resulted in additional disclosures but, otherwise, had no material effect on our consolidated financial statements.


Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements


In December 2007, the FASB updated guidance on the requirements for the presentation of minority interests and for deconsolidation accounting. This updated guidance, which is now a part of ASC 810, Consolidation, was adopted as of January 1, 2009. Our adoption had no material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities


In February 2007, the FASB issued new guidance which gave entities the option to measure eligible financial assets, financial liabilities and firm commitments at fair value (i.e., the fair value option), on an instrument-by-instrument basis, that are otherwise not permitted to be accounted for at fair value under other accounting standards. The election to use the fair value option is available when an entity first recognizes a financial asset or financial liability or upon entering into a firm commitment. This guidance, which is now a part of ASC 825, Financial Instruments, requires subsequent changes in fair value to be recorded in earnings. In addition, this guidance allows for a one-time election for existing positions upon adoption, with the transition adjustment recorded to beginning retained earnings. We adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2008 with no net effect to equity.


Fair Value Measurements


In September 2006, the FASB issued new guidance concerning fair value measurements and disclosures which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The new guidance, which is now a part of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes a framework for measuring fair value when required under existing accounting standards. The framework consists of a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels (“Level 1, 2 and 3”). Level 1 inputs are observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that we have the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs reflecting our estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk). Quantitative and qualitative disclosures will focus on the inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements and the effects of the measurements in the financial statements. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2008 with no material effect on our consolidated financial statements.


Accounting standards not yet adopted


Amendments to Consolidation Guidance for Variable Interest Entries


In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance to ASC 810, Consolidation, which amends consolidation requirements applicable to variable interest entities (“VIE”). Significant amendments include changes in the method of determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity by replacing the quantitative approach previously required with a qualitative approach. An entity would be considered a primary beneficiary and consolidate a VIE when the entity has both of the following characteristics; (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The new guidance also requires ongoing reassessment of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE.


This revised guidance is effective for all VIEs owned on, or formed after, January 1, 2010. In preparation for adoption of this amended guidance, we have evaluated our investment portfolio including venture capital partnerships, collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”), collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), and other structures and entities to identify any variable interests. Furthermore, for any variable interests identified we assessed based on the applicable criteria if we could potentially be the primary beneficiary.


Based upon this assessment, although we have investments in various variable interest entities, we are not the primary beneficiary based on the facts and circumstances of the contractual arrangements and the applicable criteria. Our qualifying variable interests primarily consist of private equity holdings in limited partnerships in which we participate in a proportionate share of the entities’ earnings, but our influence on the economic activities of the partnerships is insignificant. In addition, we do not have exposure to liquidity arrangements, guarantees, structured products, derivatives, securitizations or other third party commitments that would require analysis based upon amended guidance. Given this information, we expect to adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2010 with no material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets


In June 2009, the FASB issued new guidance to ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing. The amended guidance eliminates the concept of qualifying special-purpose entities and changes requirements for when a financial asset should be derecognized. Additional disclosures are also required on risk related to a transferor’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. Adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2010 will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.


Significant accounting policies


Investments


Debt and equity securities


Our debt and equity securities classified as available-for-sale are reported on our balance sheet at fair value. Fair value is based on quoted market price, where available. When quoted market prices are not available, we estimate fair value by discounting debt security cash flows to reflect interest rates currently being offered on similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality (private placement debt securities), by quoted market prices of comparable instruments (untraded public debt securities) and by independent pricing sources or internally developed pricing models. We recognize unrealized investment gains and losses on investments in debt and equity securities that we classify as available-for-sale. We report these unrealized investment gains and losses as a component of other comprehensive income, net of the closed block policyholder dividend obligation, applicable deferred policy acquisition costs and applicable deferred income taxes.


Venture capital partnerships


We utilize the equity method of accounting, initially recording the investment at cost and subsequently adjusting the carrying amount of the investment to recognize our share of the earnings or losses. We record our equity in the earnings of venture capital partnerships in net investment income using the most recent financial information received from the partnerships. Recognition of net investment income is generally on a three-month delay due to the lag in availability of the related financial statements.


Policy loans


Policy loans are carried at their unpaid principal balances and are collateralized by the cash values of the related policies. The majority of cash values eligible for policy loans are at variable interest rates that are reset annually on the policy anniversary.


Other investments


Other investments primarily include leveraged lease investments and other partnership and joint venture interests as well as mortgage loans. Leveraged lease investments represent the net amount of the estimated residual value of the lease assets, rental receivables and unearned and deferred income to be allocated over the lease term. Partnership and joint venture interests in which we do not have control or a majority ownership interest are recorded using the equity method of accounting. These investments include affordable housing, mezzanine and other partnership interests. We report mortgage loans at unpaid principal balances, net of valuation reserves on impaired loans.

Net Investment Income


For mortgage-backed and other asset-backed debt securities, we recognize income using a constant effective yield based on anticipated prepayments and the estimated economic lives of the securities. When actual prepayments differ significantly from anticipated prepayments, the effective yield is recalculated to reflect actual payments to date and any resulting adjustment is included in net investment income. For certain asset-backed securities, changes in estimated yield are recorded on a prospective basis and specific valuation methods are applied to these securities to determine if there has been an other-than-temporary decline in value. We record the net income from investments in partnerships and joint ventures in net investment income.


Investments Pledged as Collateral and Non-Recourse Collateralized Obligations


Collateralized obligations for which Goodwin Capital Advisers, Inc. (“Goodwin”) is the sponsor and actively manages the assets, where we are deemed to be a primary beneficiary as a result of our variable interests, are consolidated in our financial statements.


Other-than-temporary impairments on available-for-sale securities


We recognize realized investment losses when declines in fair value of debt and equity securities are considered to be other-than-temporarily. For debt securities, the other-than-temporarily impaired amount is separated into the amount related to a credit loss and is reported as net realized investment losses included in earnings, and any amounts related to other factors are recognized in other comprehensive income. The credit loss component is calculated using our best estimate of the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the debt security, by discounting the expected cash flows at the effective interest rate implicit in the security at the time of acquisition. Subsequent to recognition of an impairment loss, the difference between the new cost basis and the cash flows expected to be collected is accreted as interest income.


In evaluating whether a decline in value is other than temporary, we consider several factors including, but not limited to the following:


·

the extent and the duration of the decline;

·

the reasons for the decline in value (credit event, interest related or market fluctuations);

·

our intent to sell the security, or whether it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell it before recovery, and

·

the financial condition of and near term prospects of the issuer.


A debt security impairment is deemed other than temporary if:


·

we either intend to sell the security, or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery; or

·

it is probable we will be unable to collect cash flows sufficient to recover the amortized cost basis of the security.


Impairments due to deterioration in credit that result in a conclusion that the present value of cash flows expected to be collected will not be sufficient to recover the amortized cost basis of the security are considered other than temporary. Other declines in fair value (for example, due to interest rate changes, sector credit rating changes or company-specific rating changes) that result in a conclusion that the present value of cash flows expected to be collected will not be sufficient to recover the amortized cost basis of the security may also result in a conclusion that an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. In situations where we have asserted our ability and intent to hold a security to a forecasted recovery, but where now it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery, an impairment is considered other than temporary, even if the present value of cash flows expected to be collected will be sufficient to recover the amortized cost basis of the security.




F-13






2.

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


We employ a comprehensive process to determine whether or not a security is in an unrealized loss position and is other-than-temporarily impaired. This assessment is done on a security-by-security basis and involves significant management judgment, especially given recent severe market dislocations.


On a quarterly basis, we review all securities for potential recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment. We maintain a watch list of securities in default, near default or otherwise considered by our investment professionals as being distressed, potentially distressed or requiring a heightened level of scrutiny. We also identify all securities whose carrying value has been below amortized cost on a continuous basis for zero to six months, six months to 12 months and greater than 12 months. Using this analysis, coupled with our watch list, we review all securities whose fair value is less than 80% of amortized cost (significant unrealized loss) with emphasis on below investment grade securities with a continuous significant unrealized loss in excess of six months. In addition, we review securities that experienced lesser declines in value on a more selective basis to determine whether any are other-than-temporarily impaired.


Specifically for structured securities, to determine whether a collateralized security is impaired, we obtain underlying data from the security’s trustee and analyze it for performance trends. A security-specific stress analysis is performed using the most recent trustee information. This analysis forms the basis for our determination of whether the security will pay in accordance with the contractual cash flows.


The closed block policyholder dividend obligation, applicable deferred policy acquisition costs and applicable income taxes, which offset realized investment gains and losses and other-than-temporary impairments, are each reported separately as components of net income.


Derivative instruments


We use derivative financial instruments, including options, futures and swaps as a means of hedging exposure to interest rate, equity price change, equity volatility and foreign currency risk. We also use derivative instruments to economically hedge our exposure on living benefits offered on certain of our variable products. We recognize derivative instruments on the balance sheet at fair value. The derivative contracts are reported as assets or liabilities in other investments and other liabilities, respectively, on the balance sheet, excluding embedded derivatives. Embedded derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet with the associated host contract.


We do not designate the purchased derivatives related to living benefits as hedges for accounting purposes. For other derivatives, we designate each instrument according to the associated exposure as either a fair value or cash flow hedge at its inception as we do not enter into derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes.


To qualify for hedge accounting, the changes in value of the derivative must be expected to substantially offset the changes in value of the hedged item. Hedges are monitored to ensure that there is a high correlation between the change in the value of the derivative instruments and the change in value of the hedged investment. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated and qualifies as a fair value hedge, along with the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that is attributable to the hedged risk, are recorded in current period earnings.


Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and are reclassified into earnings when the variability of the cash flow of the hedged item impacts earnings. Any hedge ineffectiveness is recorded immediately in current period earnings as net realized investment gains (losses). If it is probable that a hedged forecasted transaction will no longer occur, the effective portions of the gains or losses on derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges are reclassified into earnings immediately.


Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as foreign currency hedges are recorded in either current period earnings or accumulated other comprehensive income, depending on whether the hedged transaction is a fair value hedge or cash flow hedge. Any hedge ineffectiveness is recorded immediately in current period earnings as net realized investment gains (losses).




F-14






2.

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments and ineffective portions of hedges are recognized in net realized investment gains (losses) in the period incurred.


Cash and cash equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, money market instruments and other debt instruments with maturities of three months or less.


Deferred policy acquisition costs


The costs of acquiring new business, principally commissions, underwriting, distribution and policy issue expenses, all of which vary with and are primarily related to production of new business, are deferred.


We amortize deferred policy acquisition costs based on the related policy’s classification. For individual participating life insurance policies, deferred policy acquisition costs are amortized in proportion to estimated gross margins. For universal life, variable universal life and accumulation annuities, deferred policy acquisition costs are amortized in proportion to estimated gross profits (“EGPs”). Policies may be surrendered for value or exchanged for a different one of our products (internal replacement). The deferred policy acquisition costs balance associated with the replaced or surrendered policies is amortized to reflect these surrenders.


The amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs requires the use of various assumptions, estimates and judgments about the future. EGPs for products sold in a particular year are aggregated into cohorts. Future EGPs are then projected for the estimated lives of the contracts within each cohort. Assumptions considered to be significant in the development of EGPs include separate account fund performance, surrender and lapse rates, interest margin, mortality, premium persistency, funding patterns, expenses and reinsurance costs and recoveries. These assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis and are based on our past experience, industry studies, regulatory requirements and estimates about the future.


The separate account fund performance assumption is critical to the development of the EGPs related to our variable annuity and variable life insurance businesses. As equity markets do not move in a systematic manner, we use a mean reversion method (reversion to the mean assumption), a common industry practice, to determine the future equity market growth rate assumption used for the amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs. This practice assumes that the expectation for long-term appreciation is not changed by short-term market fluctuations. The average long-term rate of assumed separate account fund performance used in estimating gross profits was 6.0% (after fund fees and mortality and expense charges) for the variable annuity business and 6.9% (after fund fees and mortality and expense charges) for the variable life business at both December 31, 2009 and 2008.


To determine the reasonableness of the prior assumptions used and their impact on previously projected account values and the related EGPs, we evaluate, on a quarterly basis, our previously projected EGPs. Our process to assess the reasonableness of our EGPs involves the use of internally developed models together with actual experience. Actual gross profits that vary from management’s initial estimates in a given reporting period result in increases or decreases in the rate of amortization recorded in the period.


In addition to our quarterly reviews, we conduct comprehensive assumption reviews, typically during the fourth quarter of each year. Upon completion of these reviews, we revise our assumptions to reflect our current best estimate, thereby changing our estimate of EGPs in the deferred policy acquisition cost and unearned revenue amortization models as well as projections within the death benefit and other insurance benefit reserving models. The deferred policy acquisition cost asset, the unearned revenue reserves and death benefit and other insurance benefit reserves are then adjusted with an offsetting benefit or charge to income to reflect such changes in the period of the revision, a process known as “unlocking.” Finally, an analysis is performed periodically to assess whether there are sufficient gross margins or gross profits to amortize the remaining deferred policy acquisition costs balances.




F-15






2.

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


Underlying assumptions for future periods of EGPs are not altered unless experience deviates significantly from original assumptions. For example, when lapses of our insurance products meaningfully exceed levels assumed in determining the amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs, we adjust amortization to reflect the change in future premiums or EGPs resulting from the unexpected lapses. If revised EGPs based on new assumptions are lower, we would increase deferred policy acquisition cost amortization resulting in a reduction in the deferred policy acquisition cost asset. Favorable experience on key assumptions could result in a decrease to deferred policy acquisition cost amortization and an increase in the deferred policy acquisition costs asset.


Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets


For goodwill, we perform impairment tests on an annual basis or in the event there is a reason to believe their fair values have been impaired. We compare the calculated fair value to the recorded values and record an impairment, if warranted. As of December 31, 2009, we had no goodwill recorded on our balance sheet and intangible assets of $0.7 million related to continuing operations and $2.5 million related to discontinued operations.


Premises and equipment


Premises and equipment, consisting primarily of office buildings occupied by us, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization and are included in other assets. We depreciate buildings on the straight-line method over 10 to 45 years and equipment primarily on a modified accelerated method over three to 10 years. We amortize leasehold improvements over the terms of the related leases or the useful life of the improvement, whichever is shorter.


Separate account assets and liabilities


Separate account assets and liabilities related to policyholder funds are carried at fair value. Deposits, net investment income and realized investment gains and losses for these accounts are excluded from revenues, and the related liability increases are excluded from benefits and expenses. Fees assessed to the contract holders for management services are included in revenues when services are rendered.


Policy liabilities and accruals


Policy liabilities and accruals include future benefit liabilities for certain life and annuity products. We establish liabilities in amounts adequate to meet the estimated future obligations of policies in force. Future benefit liabilities for traditional life insurance are computed using the net level premium method on the basis of actuarial assumptions as to contractual guaranteed rates of interest, mortality rates guaranteed in calculating the cash surrender values described in such contracts and morbidity. Future benefit liabilities for term and annuities in the payout phase that have significant mortality risk are computed using the net premium method on the basis of actuarial assumptions at the issue date of these contracts for rates of interest, contract administrative expenses, mortality and surrenders. We establish liabilities for outstanding claims, losses and loss adjustment expenses based on individual case estimates for reported losses and estimates of unreported losses based on past experience.


Certain contracts may also include additional death or other insurance benefit features, such as guaranteed minimum death or income benefits offered with variable annuity contracts or no lapse guarantees offered with universal life insurance contracts. An additional liability is established for these benefits by estimating the expected present value of the excess benefits and recognizing the excess ratably over the accumulation period based on total expected assessments.

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


Policyholder deposit funds


Amounts received as payment for certain universal life contracts, deferred annuities and other contracts without life contingencies are reported as deposits to Policyholder deposit funds. The liability for universal life-type contracts is equal to the balance that accrues to the benefit of the policyholders as of the financial statement date, including interest credited, amounts that have been assessed to compensate us for services to be performed over future periods, and any amounts previously assessed against the policyholder that is refundable. The liability for deferred annuities and other contracts without life contingencies is equal to the balance that accrues to the benefit of the contract holder as of the financial statement date which includes the accumulation of deposits plus interest credited, less withdrawals and amounts assessed through the financial statement date.


Contingent liabilities


Amounts related to contingent liabilities are accrued if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and an amount is reasonably estimable.


Demutualization and closed block


The closed block assets, including future assets from cash flows generated by the assets and premiums and other revenues from the policies in the closed block, will benefit only holders of the policies in the closed block. The principal cash flow items that affect the amount of closed block assets and liabilities are premiums, net investment income, investment purchases and sales, policyholder benefits, policyholder dividends, premium taxes and income taxes. The principal income and expense items excluded from the closed block are management and maintenance expenses, commissions, investment income and realized investment gains and losses on investments held outside the closed block that support the closed block business. All of these excluded income and expense items enter into the determination of total gross margins of closed block policies for the purpose of amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs.


In our financial statements, we present closed block assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses together with all other assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Within closed block liabilities, we have established a policyholder dividend obligation to record an additional liability to closed block policyholders for cumulative closed block earnings in excess of expected amounts calculated at the date of demutualization. These closed block earnings will not inure to stockholders, but will result in additional future dividends to closed block policyholders unless otherwise offset by future performance of the closed block that is less favorable than expected.


Revenue recognition


We recognize premiums for participating life insurance products and other long-duration life insurance products as revenue when due from policyholders. We recognize life insurance premiums for short-duration life insurance products as premium revenue pro rata over the related contract periods. We match benefits, losses and related expenses with premiums over the related contract periods.


Amounts received as payment for interest sensitive life contracts, deferred annuities and contracts without life contingencies are considered deposits and are not included in revenue. Revenues from these products consist primarily of fees assessed during the period against the policyholders’ account balances for mortality charges, policy administration charges and surrender charges. Fees assessed that represent compensation for services to be provided in the future are deferred and amortized into revenue over the life of the related contracts. Related benefit expenses include universal life benefit claims in excess of fund values, net investment income credited to policyholders’ account balances and amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs.

Income taxes


Income tax expense or benefit is recognized based upon amounts reported in the financial statements and the provisions of currently enacted tax laws. We allocate income taxes to income, other comprehensive income and additional paid-in capital in the manner required by ASC 740, Income Taxes.


We recognize current income tax assets and liabilities for estimated income taxes refundable or payable based on the current year’s income tax returns. We recognize deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the estimated future income tax effects of temporary differences and income tax carryforwards. Temporary differences are the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. If necessary, we establish valuation allowances to reduce the carrying amount of deferred income tax assets to amounts that are more likely than not to be realized. We periodically review the adequacy of these valuation allowances and record any increase or reduction in allowances in accordance with intraperiod allocation rules. We assess all significant tax positions to determine if a liability for uncertain tax position is necessary, and, if so, the impact on the current or deferred income tax balances. Also, if indicated, we recognize interest and/or penalties related to income taxes as a component of the income tax provision.


We are included in the consolidated federal income tax return filed by PNX and are party to a tax sharing agreement by and among PNX and its subsidiaries. In accordance with this agreement, federal income taxes are allocated as if they had been calculated on a separate company basis, except that benefits for any net operating losses or other tax credits generated by the Company will be provided when such loss or credit is utilized in the consolidated federal tax return. To the extent that these attributes are not utilized in the consolidated return prior to their expiration, but would otherwise have been able to be utilized by the Company on a separate company basis during the carryforward period, benefit will be provided in the year in which the attributes would have expired.


Within the consolidated tax return, we are required by regulations of the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to segregate the entities into two groups: life insurance companies and non-life insurance companies. We are limited as to the amount of any operating losses from the non-life group that can be offset against taxable income of the life group. These limitations may affect the amount of any operating loss carryovers that we have now or in the future.

Business combinations and dispositions


PFG Holdings, Inc.


In 2003, we acquired the remaining interest in PFG Holdings, Inc. (“PFG”), the holding company for our private placement operation. This transaction increased our ownership in PFG to 71% while The Phoenix Companies holding company’s minority interest in PFG remained at 29%. In November 2007, we amended the original purchase agreement to extend the term for achievement of performance targets related to additional purchase consideration through the end of 2009 and to establish a more objective mechanism to value PFG and calculate the final amount of contingent consideration. As of December 31, 2009 the performance targets that required additional cash payments were not achieved and no remaining obligation existed relating to the purchase agreement.


In the fourth quarter of 2009, we were actively pursuing the sale of PFG and its subsidiaries, including AGL Life Assurance Company. On January 4, 2010, we signed a definitive agreement to sell PFG to Tiptree Financial Partners, LP and expect the transaction to close in the second quarter of 2010. However, we cannot assure that the transaction will close or that the closing will occur at the currently anticipated time. This transfer of ownership is subject to regulatory approval. Because of the expected divestiture, we have determined that these operations should be reflected as discontinued operations. As such, the consolidated balance sheets have been presented with the gross assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in separate lines and the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income have been presented with the net results from discontinued operations, shown after the results from continuing operations. For comparative purposes, we have reclassified our prior period financial presentation to conform to this change. A total loss of $22.7 million is estimated on the anticipated sale, of which we recognized $10.0 million and The Phoenix Companies holding company recognized $12.7 million.

EMCO


On December 20, 2007, we sold all of the outstanding stock of Emprendimiento Compartido S.A (“EMCO”), an Argentine wholly-owned subsidiary. We realized an after-tax loss of $4.8 million on this sale. This loss, as well as EMCO’s results up through the date of sale, are reported in discontinued operations in these financial statements. Prior year results have also been reported in discontinued operations.

Demutualization and Closed Block


In 1999, we began the process of reorganizing and demutualizing. We completed the process in June 2001, when all policyholder membership interests in our company were extinguished and eligible policyholders received shares of common stock of The Phoenix Companies, Inc., together with cash and policy credits, as compensation. To protect the future dividends of these policyholders, we also established a closed block for their existing policies.


Because closed block liabilities exceed closed block assets, we have a net closed block liability at each period-end. This net liability represents the maximum future earnings contribution to be recognized from the closed block and the change in this net liability each period is in the earnings contribution recognized from the closed block for the period. To the extent that actual cash flows differ from amounts anticipated, we may adjust policyholder dividends. If the closed block has excess funds, those funds will be available only to the closed block policyholders. However, if the closed block has insufficient funds to make policy benefit payments that are guaranteed, the payments will be made from assets outside of the closed block.

As of December 31, 2009, the policyholder dividend obligation includes approximately $16.4 million for cumulative closed block earnings in excess of expected amounts calculated at the date of demutualization. These closed block earnings will not inure to stockholders, but will result in additional future dividends to closed block policyholders unless otherwise offset by future performance of the closed block that is less favorable than expected. If actual cumulative performance is less favorable than expected, only actual earnings will be recognized in net income.

Reinsurance


We use reinsurance agreements to limit potential losses, reduce exposure to larger risks and provide additional capacity for growth.


We remain liable to the extent that reinsuring companies may not be able to meet their obligations under reinsurance agreements in effect. Failure of the reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to us. Since we bear the risk of nonpayment, we evaluate the financial condition of our reinsurers and monitor concentration of credit risk. Due to the downgrade of Scottish Re, we closely monitored the situation and reassessed the recoverability of the reinsurance recoverable during 2009. As of December 31, 2009, we believe we have no material exposure to uncollected amounts from Scottish Re.

We cede risk to other insurers under various agreements that cover individual life insurance policies. The amount of risk ceded depends on our evaluation of the specific risk and applicable retention limits. Our current retention limit on any one life is $10 million for single life and joint first-to-die policies and $12 million for joint last-to-die policies. We also assume reinsurance from other insurers.

Our reinsurance program cedes various types of risks to other reinsurers primarily under yearly renewable term and coinsurance agreements. Yearly renewable term and coinsurance arrangements result in passing all or a portion of the risk to the reinsurer. Generally, the reinsurer receives a proportionate amount of the premiums less an allowance for commissions and expenses and is liable for a corresponding proportionate amount of all benefit payments. The cost of reinsurance related to long-duration contracts is accounted for over the life of the underlying reinsured policies using assumptions consistent with those used to account for the underlying policies.


We cede the majority of mortality risk on most new issues of term insurance. Effective October 1, 2009, PHL Variable Insurance Company and Phoenix Life and Annuity Company coinsured all the benefit risks, net of existing reinsurance, on the previously unreinsured portion of their term life business in force.

Reinsurance (continued)


The policy benefit amounts above exclude changes in reserves, interest credited to policyholders, withdrawals and policyholder dividends and other items, which total $927.1 million, $1,091.3 million and $1,215.6 million, net of reinsurance, for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007.


Irrevocable letters of credit aggregating $55.4 million at December 31, 2009 have been arranged with commercial banks in favor of us to collateralize the ceded reserves. This includes $4.1 million of irrevocable letters of credit related to our discontinued group accident and health reinsurance operations.


We assume and cede business related to our discontinued group accident and health reinsurance operations. While we are not writing any new contracts, we are contractually obligated to assume and cede premiums related to existing contracts.

Upon completion of a study during the fourth quarter of 2009, we updated our best estimate assumptions used to project expected gross profits and margins in the deferred policy acquisition cost amortization schedules. Major projection assumptions updated include mortality, cost of insurance charges, policy maintenance expenses, lapse experience, expense, net investment income. In our review to develop the best estimate for these assumptions, we examined our own experience and market conditions. We updated our maintenance expenses and reallocated them among various lines of business. Additionally, we updated the lapse rate assumptions for annuities, decreasing the rates for variable annuities while increasing them for fixed annuities. We reflected a change in the cost of insurance rates for certain single life universal life policies, effective April 1, 2010, resulting in an increase in overall projected gross profits or margins. We also reflected the lower interest earned in investments, consistent with recent experience.


Upon completion of a study during the fourth quarter of 2008, we updated our best estimate assumptions used to project expected gross profits and margins in the deferred policy acquisition cost amortization schedules. Major projection assumptions updated include mortality, lapse experience, expense, net investment income, and separate account investment return. In our review to develop the best estimate for these assumptions, we examined our own experience and market conditions. We updated our maintenance expenses and reallocated them among various lines of business. We also updated our projected separate account investment return assumption to the long term investment return as of January 1, 2009. The impact was to fully absorb the actual investment performance through December 31, 2008 into the amortization of deferred policy acquisition cost amortization and the projection of benefits under SOP 03-1 for the guaranteed minimum death benefit (GMDB) and guaranteed minimum income benefit (GMIB) riders. The greatest impact of the unlocking was on the annuity block, where the effects of these adjustments resulted in an overall increase in deferred policy acquisition cost amortization for the annuity block of $116.8 million and an increase in the GMIB and GMDB reserves of $11.3 million and $3.4 million, respectively. The UL/VUL lines had a decrease of $19.9 million to pre-tax net income due to unlocking. For the traditional life line the effects of these adjustments resulted in an increase in deferred policy acquisition cost amortization of $32.4 million.

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs (continued)


Upon completion of a study during the fourth quarter of 2007, we updated our best estimate assumptions used to project expected gross profits and margins in the deferred policy acquisition cost amortization schedules. Major projection assumptions updated include lapse experience, investment margins and expenses. In our review to develop the best estimate, we examined our own experience and market conditions. We reflected higher interest earned in the investments, consistent with recent experience. Maintenance expenses were updated and reallocated among various lines of business. Additionally, we updated our system for calculating the SOP 03-1 reserves for guaranteed minimum death benefits, resulting in a release in the benefit reserve and a corresponding increase in deferred policy acquisition cost amortization for the quarter. The effects of these adjustments resulted in an overall $4.3 million pre-tax benefit to net income.



7.

Policy Liabilities and Accruals


Policyholder liabilities are primarily for participating life insurance policies and universal life insurance policies. For universal life, this includes deposits received from customers and interest credited to their fund balances, which range from 1.4% to 5.0% as of December 31, 2009, less administrative and mortality charges.


Participating life insurance


Participating life insurance in force was 19.2% and 20.1% of the face value of total individual life insurance in force at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Unrealized losses of below investment grade debt securities outside the closed block with a fair value of less than 80% of amortized cost totaled $155.2 million at December 31, 2009 ($44.9 million after offsets for taxes and deferred policy acquisition cost amortization). Of this amount, $134.2 million was below 80% of amortized cost for more than 12 months.


Unrealized losses of below investment grade debt securities held in the closed block with a fair value of less than 80% of amortized cost totaled $68.0 million at December 31, 2009 ($0.6 million after offsets for taxes, deferred policy acquisition costs and policy dividend obligation). Of this amount, $55.4 million was below 80% of amortized cost for more than 12 months.


These securities were considered to be temporarily impaired at December 31, 2009 because each of these securities had performed, and was expected to perform, in accordance with its original contractual terms and because it was more likely than not that we would not be required to sell it before recovery.

Unrealized losses of below investment grade debt securities outside the closed block with a fair value of less than 80% of amortized cost totaled $125.8 million at December 31, 2008 ($39.9 million after offsets for taxes and deferred policy acquisition cost amortization). Of this amount, $10.5 million was below 80% of amortized cost for more than 12 months.


Unrealized losses of below investment grade debt securities held in the closed block with a fair value of less than 80% of amortized cost totaled $113.3 million at December 31, 2008 ($32.8 million after offsets for taxes, deferred policy acquisition costs and policy dividend obligation). Of this amount, $12.4 million was below 80% of amortized cost for more than 12 months.


The securities were considered to be temporarily impaired at December 31, 2008 as each of these securities had performed, and was expected to perform, in accordance with its original contractual terms, and because we had the ability and intent to hold these securities until they recover their value.


Other-Than-Temporary Impairments


Management exercised significant judgment with respect to certain securities in determining whether impairments were other than temporary. This included securities with $145.4 million ($42.2 million after offsets) of gross unrealized losses of 50% or more for which no other-than-temporary impairment was ultimately indicated. In making its assessments, management used a number of issuer-specific quantitative and qualitative assessments of the probability of receiving contractual cash flows, including the issue’s implied yields to maturity, cumulative default rate based on the issue’s rating, comparisons of issue-specific spreads to industry or sector spreads, specific trading activity in the issue and other market data such as recent debt tenders and upcoming refinancing exposure, as well as fundamentals such as issuer credit and liquidity metrics, business outlook and industry conditions. In addition to these reviews, management in each case assessed whether it was more likely than not that we would be required to sell it before recovery, up to and including maturity. Each security on the watch list was evaluated, analyzed and discussed, with the positive and negative factors weighed in the ultimate determination of whether or not the security was other-than-temporarily impaired.




F-26

Investing Activities (continued)


In determining that the securities giving rise to the previously mentioned unrealized losses were not other-than-temporarily impaired, we considered and evaluated in our significant accounting policies described in Note 2 to these financial statements. In making these evaluations, we exercised considerable judgment. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from our judgments and that such differences may require the future recognition of other-than-temporary impairment charges that could have a material effect on our financial position and results of operations. In addition, the value of, and the realization of any loss on, a debt security or equity security is subject to numerous risks, including interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The magnitude of any loss incurred by us may be affected by the relative concentration of our investments in any one issuer or industry. We have established specific policies limiting the concentration of our investments in any single issuer and industry and believe our investment portfolio is prudently diversified.


The three holdings at December 31, 2009 with the largest unrealized loss balance(s) which are temporarily impaired are:


·

Preferred Term Group – With a fair value of $22.1 million and an unrealized loss of $49.0 million, these are multi-class, cash flow CDOs. Phoenix Life invests in the senior tranches of the CDOs that can withstand significant immediate defaults before losing any principal. Due to the senior nature of our tranches, we expect that we will be able to collect cash flows sufficient to recover the entire cost basis of the security and, therefore, this issue does not merit an other-than-temporary impairment.

·

Farm Credit Bank of Texas – With a fair value of $14.5 million and an unrealized loss of $8.5 million, the Farm Credit Bank of Texas is a member of the Farm Credit System, a nationwide network of cooperatively owned financial institutions established by and subject to the provisions of the Federal Farm Credit Act. As a result, bank members receive the benefits of being a government sponsored entity (GSE). Membership provides reliable funding through Federal Farm Credit System on a joint and several basis and benefits from a $3.0 billion insurance fund. The bank has remained profitable through the current credit crisis and net charge-offs have remained negligible at 0.09% and, therefore, an other-than-temporary impairment is not warranted at this time.

·

LNR CDO Ltd 2002-1A DFX – With a fair value of $3.5 million and an unrealized loss of $8.5 million, this security is a seasoned, mezzanine tranche of an $800 million CMBS CDO originally rated A-/A-/A3 and currently rated BBB-/BBB+/Ba2 by Fitch/S&P/Moody’s respectively. Phoenix Life’s tranche of this security has a remaining average life of 2.25 years and is current on principal and interest. There are no indications that we will not receive 100% of contractual cash flows and, therefore, an other-than-temporary impairment is not required.


Corporate Debt Securities


Corporate debt securities make up approximately 41% of the unrealized loss balance. Of these securities with unrealized losses, approximately 57% are of investment grade quality. This asset class, in general, continues to experience depressed valuations despite high ratings, relatively low default rates, and continued ability to pay obligations.


Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted new accounting guidance for the recognition and presentation of other-than-temporarily impaired investments as described in Note 2 to these financial statements. Investments whose values are considered by us to be other-than-temporarily impaired are written down to fair value. The impairment amount is further separated into the amount related to credit losses, which is recorded as a charge to net realized investment losses included in our earnings, and the amount related to all other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income.


A credit-related loss impairment is determined by calculating the present value of the expected credit losses on a given security’s coupon and principal cash flows until maturity. The expected credit loss in a given period is equal to the security’s original cash flow for that period multiplied by the cumulative default rate and the loss severity. The resulting credit losses are then discounted at a default option adjusted yield (i.e., at the purchase Treasury yield embedded in the original book yield). The cumulative default rate in a given period is derived from the Moody’s 1920-2008 cumulative issuer-weighted default rate study using the worst credible observed cohorts. The loss severity rate is based on the Moody’s Loss Given Default (“LGD”) rate for a security’s LGD rating assigned by Moody’s. We consistently use the upper bound of the loss severity range for LGD rating and apply the default rate based on the remaining years to maturity. The non-credit related loss component is equal to the difference between the fair value of a bond and its impaired carrying value.

Investing Activities (continued)


Fixed maturity other-than-temporary impairments recorded in 2009 were concentrated in mortgage-backed securities and corporate holdings. These impairments were driven primarily by significant rating downgrades and increased credit default rates. In our judgment, these credit events or other adverse conditions of the issuers have caused, or will most likely lead to, a deficiency in the contractual cash flows related to the investment. Therefore, based upon these credit events, we have determined that other-than-temporary impairments exist. Total impairments recognized through earnings related to such credit-related circumstances were $93.0 million in 2009.


Prospectively, we will account for the other-than-temporarily impaired security as if the debt security had been purchased on the impairment date, using an amortized cost basis equal to the previous cost basis less the amount of the credit loss impairment. We will continue to estimate the present value of future cash flows expected and, if significantly greater than the new cost basis, accrete the difference as interest income.


In addition to these credit-related impairments recognized through earnings, we impaired securities to fair value through other comprehensive loss. These impairments were driven primarily by market or sector credit spread widening or by a lack of liquidity in the securities. The amount of impairments recognized as an adjustment to other comprehensive loss due to these factors was $93.1 million in 2009.


The following table rolls forward the amount of credit losses recognized in earnings on debt securities held at the beginning of the period, for which a portion of the other-than-temporary impairment was also recognized in other comprehensive income.

Issuer and Counterparty Credit Exposure


Credit exposure related to issuers and derivatives counterparties is inherent in investments and derivatives contracts with positive fair value or asset balances. We manage credit risk through the analysis of the underlying obligors, issuers and transaction structures. We review our debt security portfolio regularly to monitor the performance of obligors and assess the stability of their credit ratings. We also manage credit risk through industry and issuer diversification and asset allocation. Maximum exposure to an issuer or derivatives counterparty is defined by quality ratings, with higher quality issuers having larger exposure limits. We have an overall limit on below investment grade rated issuer exposure. To further mitigate the risk of loss on derivatives, we only enter into contracts in which the counterparty is a financial institution with a rating of A or higher.


As of December 31, 2009, we held derivatives with a fair value of $113.8 million. Derivative credit exposure was diversified with six different counterparties. The debt security exposure of these issuers was $130.8 million. Our maximum amount of loss due to credit risk with these issuers was $244.6 million. See Note 12 to these financial statements for more information regarding derivatives.

Our 7.15% surplus notes are due December 15, 2034. The carrying value of the 2034 notes is net of $0.9 million of unamortized original issue discount. Interest payments are at an annual rate of 7.15%, require the prior approval of the Superintendent of Insurance of the State of New York and may be made only out of surplus funds which the Superintendent determines to be available for such payments under New York Insurance Law. The notes may be redeemed at our option at any time at the “make-whole” redemption price set forth in the offering circular. New York Insurance Law provides that the notes are not part of our legal liabilities.


At December 31, 2008, Phoenix Life (together with The Phoenix Companies, the “Borrowers”) had a $100 million unsecured senior revolving credit facility. The facility was terminated effective March 12, 2009. As of the termination date, there were no borrowings on the facility.


Prior to the spin-off of our investment management business, Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. (“Virtus”) by The Phoenix Companies on December 31, 2008, Phoenix Life held an inter-company note receivable from Virtus, with a remaining principal balance of $33 million. In connection with the spin-off, Virtus repaid $13 million in principal and issued to Phoenix Life a new $20 million secured note to replace the $20 million remaining principal balance on the old note. The new note was issued at a market rate of interest and other arms-length terms and was paid in full in 2009.

Separate Accounts, Death Benefits and Other Insurance Benefit Features


Separate account products are those for which a separate investment and liability account is maintained on behalf of the policyholder. Investment objectives for these separate accounts vary by fund account type, as outlined in the applicable fund prospectus or separate account plan of operations. Our separate account products include variable annuities and variable life insurance contracts. The assets supporting these contracts are carried at fair value and reported as separate account assets with an equivalent amount reported as separate account liabilities. Amounts assessed against the policyholder for mortality, administration, and other services are included within revenue in fee income. In 2009 and 2008 there were no gains or losses on transfers of assets from the general account to a separate account.

Separate Accounts, Death Benefits and Other Insurance Benefit Features (continued)


Variable annuities


Many of our variable contracts offer various guaranteed minimum death, accumulation, withdrawal and income benefits. These benefits are offered in various forms as described in the footnotes to the table below. We currently cede to reinsurers a significant portion of the death benefit guarantees associated with our in-force block of business. We establish policy benefit liabilities for minimum death and income benefit guarantees relating to certain annuity policies as follows:


·

Liabilities associated with the guaranteed minimum death benefit (“GMDB”) are determined by estimating the expected value of death benefits in excess of the projected account balance and recognizing the excess ratably over the accumulation period based on total expected assessments. The assumptions used for calculating the liabilities are generally consistent with those used for amortizing deferred policy acquisition costs.

·

Liabilities associated with the guaranteed minimum income benefit (“GMIB”) are determined by estimating the expected value of the income benefits in excess of the projected account balance at the date of annuitization and recognizing the excess ratably over the accumulation period based on total expected assessments. The assumptions used for calculating such guaranteed income benefit liabilities are generally consistent with those used for amortizing deferred policy acquisition costs.


For annuities with GMDB and GMIB, 200 stochastically generated scenarios were used.

The GMDB and GMIB guarantees are recorded in policy liabilities and accruals on our balance sheet. Changes in the liability are recorded in policy benefits, excluding policyholder dividends, on our statement of income. In a manner consistent with our policy for deferred policy acquisition costs, we regularly evaluate estimates used and adjust the additional liability balances, with a related charge or credit to benefit expense if actual experience or other evidence suggests that earlier assumptions should be revised.


We also offer certain variable products with a guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit (GMWB), a guaranteed minimum accumulation benefit (GMAB) and a guaranteed pay-out annuity floor (GPAF).


The GMWB rider guarantees the policyholder a minimum amount of withdrawals and benefit payments over time, regardless of the investment performance of the contract, subject to an annual limit. Optional resets are available. In addition, these contracts have a feature that allows the policyholder to receive the guaranteed annual withdrawal amount for as long as they are alive.


The GMAB rider provides the contract owner with a minimum accumulation of the contract owner’s purchase payments deposited within a specific time period, adjusted for withdrawals, after a specified amount of time determined at the time of issuance of the variable annuity contract.


The GPAF rider provides the policyholder with a minimum payment amount if the variable annuity payment falls below this amount on the payment calculation date.


The Combination Rider includes the GMAB and GMWB riders as well as the GMDB rider at the policyholder’s option.


The GMWB, GMAB and GPAF represent embedded derivatives in the variable annuity contracts that are required to be reported separately from the host variable annuity contract. They are carried at fair value and reported in policyholder deposit funds. The fair value of the GMWB, GMAB and GPAF obligation is calculated based on actuarial and capital market assumptions related to the projected cash flows, including benefits and related contract charges, over the lives of the contracts, incorporating expectations concerning policyholder behavior. As markets change, mature and evolve and actual policyholder behavior emerges, management continually evaluates the appropriateness of its assumptions.


As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, there was no reinsurance of the aggregate account value with the GMWB, GMAB and GPAF features. In order to minimize the volatility associated with the unreinsured liabilities, we have established an alternative risk management strategy. We began hedging our GMAB exposure in 2006 and GMWB exposure during fourth quarter 2007 using equity options, equity futures, swaps and swaptions. These investments are included in other investments on our balance sheet. Embedded derivative liabilities for GMWB, GMAB and GPAF are shown in the table below. There were no benefit payments made for the GMWB and GMAB during 2009 and 2008. There were benefit payments made of $0.6 million and $0.3 million for GPAF during 2009 and 2008, respectively.

For those guarantees of benefits that are payable in the event of death, the net amount at risk is generally defined as the current guaranteed minimum death benefit in excess of the current account balance at the balance sheet date. For guarantees of benefits that are payable upon annuitization, the net amount at risk is generally defined as the present value of the minimum guaranteed annuity payments available to the policyholder determined in accordance with the terms of the contract in excess of the current account balance. For guarantees of accumulation balances, the net amount at risk is generally defined as the guaranteed minimum accumulation balance minus the current account balance.

With the return of premium the death benefit is the greater of current account value or premiums paid (less any adjusted partial withdrawals).

Separate Accounts, Death Benefits and Other Insurance Benefit Features (continued)


With the step up, the death benefit is the greater of current account value, premiums paid (less any adjusted partial withdrawals) or the annual step up amount prior to the eldest original owner attaining a certain age. On and after the eldest original owner attains that age, the death benefit is the greater of current account value or the death benefit at the end of the contract year prior to the eldest original owner’s attaining that age plus premium payments (less any adjusted partial withdrawals) made since that date.


With the EEB, the death benefit is the greater of the premiums paid (less any adjusted partial withdrawals) or the current account value plus the EEB. The EEB is an additional amount designed to reduce the impact of taxes associated with distributing contract gains upon death.


With the greater of annual step up and annual roll up, the death benefit is the greatest of premium payments (less any adjusted partial withdrawals), the annual step up amount, the annual roll up amount or the current account value prior to the eldest original owner attaining age 81. On and after the eldest original owner attained age 81, the death benefit is the greater of current account value or the death benefit at the end of the contract year prior to the eldest original owner’s attained age of 81 plus premium payments (less any adjusted partial withdrawals) made since that date.


Universal life


Liabilities for universal life are generally determined by estimating the expected value of losses when death benefits exceed revenues and recognizing those benefits ratably over the accumulation period based on total expected assessments. The assumptions used in estimating these liabilities are consistent with those used for amortizing deferred policy acquisition costs. A single set of best estimate assumptions is used since these insurance benefits do not vary significantly with capital markets volatility. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, we held additional universal life benefit reserves in accordance with death benefit and other insurance benefit reserves of $89.4 million and $68.0 million, respectively.

Investments Pledged as Collateral and Non-recourse Collateralized Obligations


We are involved with various entities in the normal course of business that may be deemed to be variable interest entities and, as a result, we may be deemed to hold interests in those entities. The collateralized obligation trusts reside in bankruptcy remote special purpose entities (“SPEs”) for which we provide neither recourse nor guarantees. We consolidated two collateralized obligation trusts as of December 31, 2008 and 2007. As of December 31, 2008, we had no direct investment in the two consolidated collateralized obligation trusts. As of December 31, 2008, we had no direct investment in the two consolidated collateralized obligation trusts. As a result of management’s decision in the first quarter of 2009 to legally assign Virtus as the collateral manager, we performed an analysis of both of these CDOs and determined that we were no longer the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, we deconsolidated these two CDOs effective January 1, 2009, resulting in an increase to shareholders’ equity of $88.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, of which $57.0 million was recorded as a realized gain and $31.8 million was reflected as other comprehensive income, effectively reversing losses recorded in earnings and other comprehensive income in prior years. We earned investment income on debt and equity securities pledged as collateral, net of interest expense on collateralized obligations and applicable minority interest of $0.4 million, $0.5 million and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, related to these consolidated obligation trusts.

Gross unrealized losses related to debt securities pledged as collateral whose fair value is less than the security’s amortized cost totaled $13.6 million at December 31, 2008. Gross unrealized losses on debt securities with a fair value less than 80% of the security’s amortized cost totaled $9.9 million at December 31, 2008. The majority of these debt securities are investment grade issues that continue to perform to their original contractual terms at December 31, 2008.


The amount of collateralized debt obligation-related derivative cash flow hedge ineffectiveness recognized through earnings for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $0.0 million, $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively. See Note 8 to these financial statements for information on realized investment losses related to these collateralized debt obligations.

The impact to net income in 2009 represents the realized gain recognized upon the deconsolidation of the CDOs in 2009. The above credits (charges) to net income (loss) and stockholder’s equity primarily relate to realized and unrealized investment losses within the collateralized obligation trusts. Upon maturity or other liquidation of the trusts, the fair value of the investments pledged as collateral will be used to settle the non-recourse collateralized obligations with any shortfall in such investments inuring to the third-party note and equity holders. To the extent there remains a recorded liability for non-recourse obligations after all the assets pledged as collateral are exhausted, such amount will be reduced to zero with a corresponding benefit to earnings. Accordingly, these investment losses and any future investment losses under this method of consolidation will ultimately reverse upon the maturity or other liquidation of the non-recourse collateralized obligations. These non-recourse obligations mature between 2011 through 2012 but contain call provisions. The call provisions may be triggered at the discretion of the equity investors based on market conditions and are subject to certain contractual limitations.

Derivative Instruments


Derivative instruments


We use derivatives to manage certain risks in our general account portfolio as well as our insurance liabilities. Our derivatives generally do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment and are stated at fair value (market value) with changes in valuation reported in net realized capital gains/losses. Derivatives that are designated as hedges for accounting purposes are also stated at fair value. However, changes in the fair value of such derivatives are recorded in other comprehensive income, or net income, depending on the nature and effectiveness of the hedge.

Interest Rate Swaps


We maintain an overall interest rate risk management strategy that primarily incorporates the use of interest rate swaps as hedges of our exposure to changes in interest rates. Our exposure to changes in interest rates primarily results from our commitments to fund interest-sensitive insurance liabilities, as well as from our significant holdings of fixed rate financial instruments. We use interest rate swaps that effectively convert variable rate cash flows to fixed cash flows in order to hedge the interest rate risks associated with guaranteed minimum living benefit (GMAB/GMWB) rider liabilities.


Interest Rate Options


We use interest rate options, such as swaptions, to hedge against market risks to assets or liabilities from substantial changes in interest rates. An interest rate swaption gives us the right but not the obligation to enter into an underlying swap. Swaptions are options on interest rate swaps. All of our swaption contracts are receiver swaptions, which give us the right to enter into a swap where we will receive the agreed-upon fixed rate and pay the floating rate. If the market conditions are favorable and the swap is needed to continue hedging our inforce liability business, we will exercise the swaption and enter into a fixed rate swap. If a swaption contract is not exercised by its option maturity date, it expires with no value.


Exchange Traded Future Contracts


We use equity index futures to hedge the market risks from changes in the value of equity indices, such as S&P 500, associated with guaranteed minimum living benefit (GMAB/GMWB) rider liabilities. Positions are short-dated, exchange-traded futures with maturities of three months.

Derivative Instruments (continued)


Equity Index Options


We use the following derivative contracts to hedge against market risks from changes in volatility, interest rates, and equity indices associated with our Life and Annuity products:


·

Equity index options, such as S&P 500 puts for the variable annuity guaranteed minimum living benefit (GMAB/GMWB) rider liabilities;

·

Equity index options, such as S&P 500 European calls for the Equity Index Universal Life (EIUL); and

·

Equity index options, such as S&P European, Asian and Binary calls for the Equity Index Annuity (EIA).


An equity index put option affords us the right to sell a specified equity index at the established price determined at the time the instrument was purchased. We may use short-dated options, which are traded on exchanges or use long-dated over-the-counter options, which require entering into an agreement with another party (referred to as the counterparty).


An equity index call option affords us the right to buy a specified equity index at the established price determined at the time the instrument was purchased. We used exact-dated options, which are traded over-the-counter with another party (referred to as the counterparty) to closely replicate the option payoff profile embedded in EIA and EIUL liabilities.


Cross Currency Swaps


We use cross currency swaps to hedge against market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Currency swaps are used to swap bond asset cash flows denominated in a foreign currency back to U.S. dollars. Under foreign currency swaps, we agree with another party (referred to as the counterparty) to exchange principal and periodic interest payments denominated in foreign currency for payments in U.S. dollars.


Contingent Features


Certain of our derivative instruments contain provisions that require our insurance companies’ financial strength rating to be above a certain threshold. If our financial strength ratings were to fall below a specified rating threshold, certain counterparties to the derivative instruments could request immediate payment or demand immediate and ongoing full collateralization on derivative instruments in net liability positions, or even trigger a termination of existing derivatives and/or future derivative transactions.


During the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, our financial strength ratings fell below the specified threshold levels in certain agreements, and remained so at December 31, 2009. Consequently, the credit risk related contingent features of the instruments were triggered. Two of the counterparties that held positions of financed premiums requested immediate payment of the balance of the financed amounts, totaling $33.9 million. These amounts represented all the financed premium positions held, leaving all remaining derivative instruments fully paid.


As of December 31, 2009, we held no derivative instruments in a net liability position that were not fully offset by other derivative instruments with the same counterparty in a net asset position.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments


ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.




F-39






13.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)


ASC 820-10 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels, from highest to lowest, are defined as follows:


·

Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 1 securities include highly liquid government bonds, mortgage products, exchange-traded equities and exchange-traded corporate debt.

·

Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Examples of such instruments include certain collateralized mortgage and debt obligations and certain high-yield debt securities.

·

Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Securities classified within Level 3 include broker quoted investments, certain residual interests in securitizations and other less liquid securities. Most valuations that are based on brokers’ prices are classified as Level 3 due to a lack of transparency in the process they use to develop prices.


A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.


The following table presents the financial instruments carried at fair value by ASC 820-10 valuation hierarchy (as described above).

Available-for-sale debt securities as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 are reported net of $67.3 million and $39.0 million of Level 2 investments included in discontinued assets on our balance sheet related to discontinued reinsurance operations.


Separate account assets as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 are reported net of $3,423.6 million and $4,070.1 million of Level 1 investments included in discontinued assets on our balance sheet related to PFG.


Fair value option investments also include a structured loan asset valued at $35.8 million as of December 31, 2009. We elected to apply the fair value option to this asset at the time of its acquisition. We purchased the asset to obtain principal protection without sacrificing earnings potential. Election of the fair value option allows current earnings recognition and is more consistent with management’s view of the security’s underlying economics. Changes in the fair value of this asset are included in net investment income.


We have an established process for determining fair values. Fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If listed prices or quotes are not available, or are based on disorderly transactions or inactive markets, fair value is based upon internally developed models that use primarily market-based or independently-sourced market parameters, including interest rate yield curves, option volatilities and currency rates. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality, our own creditworthiness, liquidity and unobservable parameters that are applied consistently over time. The majority of the valuations of Level 3 assets were internally calculated or obtained from independent third-party broker quotes.




F-41






13.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)


We determine fair value as the price received in an orderly transaction. Thus, we evaluate broker pricing indications, if available, to determine whether the weight of evidence indicates that markets are inactive, or transactions are disorderly. In order to determine whether the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased, we compare current activity with normal market activity for the asset or liability. We may observe a notable decrease in the number of recent transactions, and the significant decline or absence of a market for new issuances for the security or a similar security. If we do receive a broker pricing indication, we look for substantiation, such as a significant increase in implied liquidity risk premiums, yields, or performance indications when compared to the expected cash flow analysis. We look to see if the pricing indications have varied substantially in a short amount of time where no fundamental event or occurrence has prompted the large variation, or if there is a significant increase in the bid-ask spread. We review published indexes that may have been historically highly correlated with the fair values that no longer are representative of an active market. For corporate positions, we utilize TRACE, for which published trade activity is made available, to assess trading activity levels. For other positions, we rely on many factors such as the observable flows through Bloomberg, trading levels and activity as reported by market participants, and industry publications that speak to trading volume and current market conditions. Using professional judgment and experience, we evaluate and weigh the relevance and significance of all applicable factors to determine if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset, or group of similar assets.


Similarly, in order to identify transactions that are not orderly, we take into consideration the activity in the market as stated above, because that can influence the determination and occurrence of an orderly transaction. In addition, we assess the period of the exposure to the market before measurement date to determine adequacy for customary marketing activities. Also, we look to see if it was marketed to a single or limited number of participants. We assess the financial condition of the seller, if available, to determine whether observed transactions may have been forced. If the trading price is an outlier when compared to similar recent transactions, we consider whether this is an indicator of a disorderly trade. Using professional judgment and experience, we evaluate and weigh the relevance and significance of all applicable factors to determine if the evidence suggests that a transaction or group of similar transactions is not orderly.


Following is a description of our valuation methodologies for assets and liabilities measured at fair value. Such valuation methodologies were applied to all of the assets and liabilities carried at fair value.


Structured Assets


For structured securities, we consider the best estimate of cash flows until maturity to determine our ability to collect principal and interest cash flows relative to original cash flows. In addition, we apply reasonable management judgment to the probability of collectibility of all amounts due to us. After consideration is given to the available information relevant to the collectibility, including historical events, current conditions and reasonable forecasts, an estimate of future cash flows is determined. This includes the remaining payment terms, prepayment speeds, the underlying collateral, expected defaults using current default data, and the financial condition of the issuer. Such factors as composite credit ratings, industry forecast and analyst reports and other relevant market data are also considered, similar to those we believe market participants would use. For securities which observable market data is available and substantiated, valuations are taken to the quoted fair value.


To determine fair values for certain structured, collateralized loan obligations (CLO) and collateralized debt obligation (CDO) assets for which current pricing indications either did not exist, or were based on inactive markets or sparse transactions, we utilize the following method.




F-42






13.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)


For CLO and CDO assets, fair value was determined based on projected cash flows under default, recovery, collateral prepayment, and reinvestment spread assumptions which reflect the underlying collateral’s actual default experience, collateral performance, assessment of the collateral manager’s ability to actively manage and effect portfolio credit decisions, 12-month trailing credit migration trends in the bank loan and corporate debt markets, and historical studies, where available. An appropriate discount rate was then applied, determined by using a rate composed of the current U.S. treasury rate, plus a current net credit spread derived from corporate bonds with the same credit rating, plus an additional spread for liquidity and structure relative to active markets, based on average life, and credit rating. In addition to the level of implied liquidity spreads embedded in broker pricing indications, current AAA-rated CLO spreads and liquidity spreads by rating, we also gave consideration to deal-specific characteristics, such as rating stability, credit subordination, collateral performance tests, collateral composition, collateral manager and default scenario sensitivity testing results to assess the available cushion against emergence of future losses.


Derivatives


Exchange-traded derivatives valued using quoted prices are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. However, few classes of derivative contracts are listed on an exchange. Therefore, the majority of our derivative positions are valued using internally developed models that use as their basis readily observable market parameters. These positions are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Such derivatives include basic interest rate swaps, options and credit default swaps.


Fair values for over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivative financial instruments, principally forwards, options and swaps, represent the present value of amounts estimated to be received from or paid to a marketplace participant in settlement of these instruments (i.e., the amount we would expect to receive in a derivative asset assignment or would expect to pay to have a derivative liability assumed). These derivatives are valued using pricing models based on the net present value of estimated future cash flows and directly observed prices from exchange-traded derivatives or other OTC trades, while taking into account the counterparty’s credit ratings, or our own credit ratings, as appropriate. Determining the fair value for OTC derivative contracts can require a significant level of estimation and management judgment.


New and/or complex instruments may have immature or limited markets. As a result, the pricing models used for valuation often incorporate significant estimates and assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the instrument, which may impact the results of operations reported in the consolidated financial statements. For long-dated and illiquid contracts, extrapolation methods are applied to observed market data in order to estimate inputs and assumptions that are not directly observable. This enables us to mark to market all positions consistently when only a subset of prices are directly observable. Values for OTC derivatives are verified using observed information about the costs of hedging the risk and other trades in the market. As the markets for these products develop, we will continually refine our pricing models to correlate more closely to the market risk of these instruments.


Retained Interest in Securitization


Retained interests in securitizations do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices. Accordingly, we estimate the fair value of certain retained interests in securitizations using discounted cash flow (“DCF”) models.


For certain other retained interests in securitizations (such as interest-only strips), a single interest rate path DCF model is used and generally includes assumptions based upon projected finance charges related to the securitized assets, estimated net credit losses, prepayment assumptions and contractual interest paid to third-party investors. Changes in the assumptions used may have a significant impact on our valuation of retained interests and such interests are, therefore, typically classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.


We compare the fair value estimates and assumptions to observable market data where available and to recent market activity and actual portfolio experience.




F-43

Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)


Private Equity Investments


The valuation of non-public private equity investments requires significant management judgment due to the absence of quoted market prices, an inherent lack of liquidity and the long-term nature of such assets. Private equity investments are valued initially based upon transaction price. The carrying values of private equity investments are adjusted either upwards or downwards from the transaction price to reflect expected exit values as evidenced by financing and sale transactions with third parties, or when determination of a valuation adjustment is confirmed through ongoing reviews by senior investment managers. A variety of factors are reviewed and monitored to assess positive and negative changes in valuation including, but not limited to, current operating performance and future expectations of the particular investment, industry valuations of comparable public companies, changes in market outlook and the third-party financing environment over time. In determining valuation adjustments resulting from the investment review process, emphasis is placed on current company performance and market conditions. Private equity investments are included in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.


Private equity investments may also include publicly held equity securities, generally obtained through the initial public offering of privately held equity investments. Such securities are marked-to-market at the quoted public value less adjustments for regulatory or contractual sales restrictions. Discounts for restrictions are quantified by analyzing the length of the restriction period and the volatility of the equity security.


Beneficial Interests Issued by Consolidated Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”)


The fair value of beneficial interests issued by consolidated VIEs (beneficial interests) is estimated based upon the fair value of the underlying assets held by the VIEs. The valuation of beneficial interests does not include an adjustment to reflect our credit quality as the holders of these beneficial interests do not have recourse to our general credit. As the inputs into the valuation are generally based upon readily observable pricing information, the majority of beneficial interests used by consolidated VIEs are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.


Separate Accounts


Separate account assets are primarily invested in mutual funds but also have investments in fixed maturity and equity securities. The separate account investments are valued in the same manner, and using the same pricing sources and inputs, as the fixed maturity, equity security and short-term investments of Phoenix Life. Mutual funds are included in Level 1. Most debt securities and short-term investments are included in Level 2.


Fair Value of Investment Contracts


For purposes of fair value disclosures, we determine the fair value of guaranteed interest contracts by assuming a discount rate equal to the appropriate U.S. Treasury rate plus 150 basis points to determine the present value of projected contractual liability payments through final maturity. We determine the fair value of deferred annuities and supplementary contracts without life contingencies with an interest guarantee of one year or less at the amount of the policy reserve. In determining the fair value of deferred annuities and supplementary contracts without life contingencies with interest guarantees greater than one year, we use a discount rate equal to the appropriate U.S. Treasury rate plus 100 basis points to determine the present value of the projected account value of the policy at the end of the current guarantee period.


Deposit type funds, including pension deposit administration contracts, dividend accumulations, and other funds left on deposit not involving life contingencies, have interest guarantees of less than one year for which interest credited is closely tied to rates earned on owned assets. For these liabilities, we assume fair value to be equal to the stated liability balances.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)


Valuation of Embedded Derivatives


Guarantees that we make on certain variable annuity contracts, including GMAB and GMWB, meet the definition of an embedded derivative. These embedded derivatives are accounted for at fair valued using a risk neutral stochastic valuation methodology with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. The inputs to our fair value methodology include information derived from the asset derivatives market, including the volatility surface and the swap curve. Several additional inputs are not obtained from independent sources, but instead reflect our internally developed assumptions related to mortality rates, lapse rates and policyholder behavior. As there are significant unobservable inputs included in our fair value methodology for these embedded derivative liabilities, we consider the above-described methodology as a whole to be Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.


Our fair value calculation includes a credit standing adjustment (the “CSA”). The CSA represents the adjustment that market participants would make to reflect the risk that guaranteed benefit obligations may not be fulfilled (“nonperformance risk”). In analyzing various alternatives to the CSA calculation, we determined that we could not use credit default swap spreads as there are no such observable instruments on Phoenix Life or its subsidiaries nor could we consistently obtain an observable price on the surplus notes issued by Phoenix Life, as the surplus notes are not actively traded. Therefore, when discounting the rider cash flows for calculation of the fair value of the liability, we calculated the CSA by using the Fair Market Sector Curve USD Finance (BBB) index that reflects the credit spread for financial services companies similar to the Company’s life insurance subsidiaries. This average credit spread is recalculated every quarter; therefore, the fair value will change with the passage of time even in the absence of any other changes that would affect the valuation. The impact of the CSA at December 31, 2009 and 2008 was a reduction of $18.5 million and $46.8 million in the reserves associated with these riders, respectively.


Indebtedness


Fair value of indebtedness is based on quoted market prices.


Level 3 Financial Assets and Liabilities


The following table sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of our Level 3 financial assets and liabilities. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. For example, a hypothetical derivative contract with Level 1, Level 2 and significant Level 3 inputs would be classified as a Level 3 financial instrument in its entirety. Subsequently, even if only Level 1 and Level 2 inputs are adjusted, the resulting gain or loss is classified as Level 3. Further, Level 3 instruments are frequently hedged with instruments that are classified as Level 1 or Level 2 and, accordingly, gains or losses reported as Level 3 in the table below may be offset by gains or losses attributable to instruments classified in Level 1 or 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

As of December 31, 2009, we performed our assessment of net deferred tax assets. Significant management judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes and, in particular, any valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax assets. We carried a valuation allowance of $25.8 million on $462.3 million of net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2009, due to uncertainties related to our ability to utilize the deferred tax assets. The amount of the valuation allowance has been determined based on our estimates of taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are expected to reverse.


We concluded that a valuation allowance on the remaining $136.0 million of deferred tax assets at December 31, 2009, was not required. Our methodology for determining the realizability of deferred tax assets involves estimates of future taxable income from our operations and consideration of available tax planning strategies and actions that could be implemented, if necessary, as well as the expiration dates and amounts of carryforwards related to net operating losses, capital losses, foreign tax credits and general business tax credits. These estimates are projected through the life of the related deferred tax assets based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable and consistent with current operating results. Changes in future operating results not currently forecasted may have a significant impact on the realization of deferred tax assets.


As of December 31, 2009, we had deferred tax assets of $69.5 million and $58.9 million related to net operating and capital losses, respectively, for federal income tax purposes. The related federal net operating losses of $198.6 million are scheduled to expire between the years 2017 and 2029. The federal capital losses of $168.3 million are scheduled to expire in 2010 and 2014.

Income Taxes (continued)


As of December 31, 2009, we had deferred income tax assets of $35.5 million related to general business tax credit carryovers, which are expected to expire between the years 2022 and 2029.


As of December 31, 2009, we had deferred income tax assets of $14.6 million related to foreign tax credit carryovers, which are expected to expire between the 2011 and 2017 tax years.


The Company does not anticipate that any event will result in a significant change in the existing balance of unrecognized tax benefits within 12 months. Management believes that adequate provisions have been made in the financial statements for any potential assessments that may result from tax examinations and other tax-related matters for all open tax years.


A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is a follows:

The entire amount of unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2009 would, if recognized, impact the annual effective tax rate upon recognition.


Based upon the timing and status of our current examinations by taxing authorities, we do not believe that it is reasonably possible that any changes to the balance of unrecognized tax benefits occurring in the next 12 months will result in a significant change to the results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. In addition, we do not anticipate that there will be additional payments made or refunds received within the next 12 months with respect to the years under audit. We do not anticipate any increase to the unrecognized tax benefits that would have a significant impact on the financial position of the Company.


Together with The Phoenix Companies, Phoenix Life is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2006. During 2009, the Company resolved examinations issues for tax years 2004 and 2005. No material unanticipated assessments were incurred, and we adjusted our liability for uncertain tax positions accordingly.


On November 6, 2009, President Barack Obama signed into law the Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009 which includes, among other things, a provision allowing all businesses—except those that received funds under the Troubled Asset Relief Program—to elect a five-year carry back of net operating losses. The Act allows taxpayers to elect to increase the present-law carry back period for an applicable net operating loss from two years up to five years for taxable years ending after December 31, 2007. A taxpayer may elect an extended carry back period for only one taxable year. Based on the Company’s initial analysis of additional net operating loss carryback capacity, no additional benefit has been recorded for the period ending December 31, 2009.

Employee Benefit Plans and Employment Agreements


The Phoenix Companies provides most of its employees and those of its subsidiaries with post-employment benefits that include retirement benefits, through pension and savings plans, and other benefits, including health care and life insurance. This includes three defined benefit pension plans covering our employees. We incur applicable employee benefit expenses through the process of cost allocation by The Phoenix Companies.


The employee pension plan, covering substantially all of our employees, provides benefits up to the amount allowed under the Internal Revenue Code. The two supplemental plans provide benefits in excess of the primary plan. Retirement benefits under all plans are a function of years of service and compensation. The employee pension plan is funded with assets held in a trust while the supplemental plans are unfunded. In December 2009, The Phoenix Companies announced that, effective March 31, 2010, all benefit accruals will be frozen under our funded and unfunded defined benefit plans.

Employee Benefit Plans and Employment Agreements (continued)


In December 2009, The Phoenix Companies announced the decision to eliminate retiree medical coverage for current employees whose age plus years of service did not equal at least 65 as of March 31, 2010. Employees who remain eligible must still meet all other plan requirements to receive benefits. In addition, the cap on the company’s contribution to pre-65 retiree medical costs per participant will be reduced beginning with the 2011 plan year.


The funding requirements of The Phoenix Companies pension plan are dependent on interest rates and market performance. Significant assumptions made by The Phoenix Companies related to this plan include the discount rate and the long-term rate of return on plan assets. The discount rate assumption is developed using upon a yield curve approach comprised of bonds rated Aa or higher by Moody’s Investor Services or rated AA or higher by Standard & Poor’s with maturities between one and fifteen or more years. The long-term rate of return of plan assets is determined through modeling long-term returns and asset return volatilities.


Applicable information regarding the actuarial present value of vested and non-vested accumulated plan benefits, and the net assets of the plans available for benefits, is omitted as the information is not separately calculated for our participation in the plans. The Phoenix Companies, the plan sponsor, established an accrued liability and amounts attributable to us have been allocated.


Employee benefit expense allocated to us for these benefits totaled $37.4 million, $15.1 million and $19.5 million for 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Over the next 12 months, The Phoenix Companies expects to make contributions to the pension plans of which approximately $25.6 million will be allocated to us.

Discontinued Operations


PFG Holdings, Inc.


In the fourth quarter of 2009, we were actively pursuing the sale of PFG Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including AGL Life Assurance Company. On January 4, 2010, we signed a definitive agreement to sell PFG to Tiptree Financial Partners, LP and expect the transaction to close in the second quarter of 2010. However, we cannot assure that the transaction will close or that the closing will occur at the currently anticipated time. This transfer of ownership is subject to regulatory approval. Because of the expected divestiture, we have determined that these operations should be reflected as discontinued operations. A loss of $22.7 million is estimated on the anticipated sale, of which we recognized $10.0 million and The Phoenix Companies holding company recognized $12.7 million.


The following table provides detailed information regarding the financial statement lines identified as discontinued operations.

Discontinued Operations (continued)


Excluding minority interest of $0.5 million, we recognized a loss in discontinued operations of $11.4 million in 2009 which was primarily attributable to the loss on the anticipated sale.


Discontinued Reinsurance Operations


During 1999, we discontinued our reinsurance operations through a combination of sale, reinsurance and placement of certain retained group accident and health reinsurance business into run-off. We adopted a formal plan to stop writing new contracts covering these risks and to end the existing contracts as soon as those contracts would permit. However, we remain liable for claims under contracts which have not been commuted.


We have established reserves for claims and related expenses that we expect to pay on our discontinued group accident and health reinsurance business. These reserves are based on currently known facts and estimates about, among other things, the amount of insured losses and expenses that we believe we will pay, the period over which they will be paid, the amount of reinsurance we believe we will collect from our retrocessionaires and the likely legal and administrative costs of winding down the business. A loss of $71.7 million was recognized in 2009 primarily related to adverse developments in the current year. See Note 21 to these financial statements for additional information on our discontinued reinsurance operations.


Sale of EMCO


During 2007, we sold 100% of the stock held by us in Emprendimiento Compartido S.A. (EMCO), an Argentine wholly-owned subsidiary. The net after-tax loss included in discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $3.5 million.


Adjustments Related to Prior Years


In the aggregate, a loss of $83.1 million was recognized on our discontinued operations in the current year. Included in this loss was approximately $14.4 million associated with the correction of errors dating back to 1999. We have assessed the impact of these errors on all prior periods and have determined that the errors were not material to any individual year during the intervening period.

Phoenix Life Statutory Financial Information and Regulatory Matters


Our insurance subsidiaries are required to file, with state regulatory authorities, annual statements prepared on an accounting basis prescribed or permitted by such authorities.


As of December 31, 2009, statutory surplus differs from equity reported in accordance with GAAP for life insurance companies primarily as follows:


·

policy acquisition costs are expensed when incurred;

·

impairments on investments are based on different assumptions;

·

surplus notes are included in surplus rather than debt;

·

postretirement benefit expense allocated to Phoenix Life from The Phoenix Companies relate only to vested participants and expense is based on different assumptions and reflect a different method of adoption;

·

life insurance reserves are based on different assumptions; and

·

deferred tax assets are limited to amounts reversing in a specified period with an additional limitation based upon 10% or 15% of statutory surplus, dependent on meeting certain risk-based capital thresholds.


Phoenix Life requested as a permitted practice its intent to accelerate the admission of the remaining $13.7 million indemnity reserve related to Phoenix Life’s surplus notes into Phoenix Life’s statutory surplus as of December 31, 2008. The request was approved by the New York Department of Insurance on February 20, 2009.

New York Insurance Law requires that New York life insurers report their risk-based capital. Risk-based capital is based on a formula calculated by applying factors to various assets, premium and statutory reserve items. The formula takes into account the risk characteristics of the insurer, including asset risk, insurance risk, interest rate risk and business risk. New York Insurance Law gives the New York Superintendent of Insurance explicit regulatory authority to require various actions by, or take various actions against, insurers whose total adjusted capital does not exceed certain risk-based capital levels. Each of the U.S. insurance subsidiaries of Phoenix Life is also subject to these same risk-based capital requirements. Phoenix Life and each of its insurance subsidiaries’ risk-based capital was in excess of 200% of Company Action Level (the level where a life insurance enterprise must submit a comprehensive plan to state insurance regulators) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.


Under New York Insurance Law, Phoenix Life is permitted to pay stockholder dividends to us in any calendar year without prior approval from the New York Insurance Department in the amount of the lesser of 10% of Phoenix Life’s surplus to policyholders as of the immediately preceding calendar year or Phoenix Life’s statutory net gain from operations for the immediately preceding calendar year, not including realized capital gains. Phoenix Life paid no dividends in 2009 and under the above formula is able to pay $29.2 million in dividends in 2010.

Capital Contributions


We received capital contributions from The Phoenix Companies of $7.5 million in cash during the year ended December 31, 2009 and $15.2 million in settlement of an intercompany payable during the year ended December 31, 2008.

Other Related Party Transactions


Goodwin Capital Advisers, Inc. (“Goodwin”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of The Phoenix Companies, provides investment advisory services to us for a fee. Investment advisory fees incurred by us under this arrangement were $7.7 million, $10.0 million and $9.2 million for 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Amounts payable to Goodwin were $1.6 million and $0.0 million, as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.


Effective in 2009, Phoenix Equity Planning Corporation (“PEPCO”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of The Phoenix Companies, is the principal underwriter of Phoenix Life’s variable life and annuity contracts. Prior to December 31, 2008, Virtus Investment Partners, Inc., a former affiliate, served as the principal underwriter of our variable life and annuity contracts. Commissions paid by Phoenix Life were $21.1 million, $59.2 million and $60.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We pay commissions on behalf of PHL Variable Insurance Company and Phoenix Life and Annuity Company.

Contingent Liabilities


PFG Holdings, Inc.


In 2003, we acquired the remaining interest in PFG Holdings, Inc. (“PFG”), the holding company for our private placement operation. This transaction increased our ownership in PFG to 71% while The Phoenix Companies holding company’s minority interest in PFG remained at 29%. In November 2007, we amended the original purchase agreement to extend the term for achievement of performance targets related to additional purchase consideration through the end of 2009 and to establish a more objective mechanism to value PFG and calculate the final amount of contingent consideration. As of December 31, 2009, the performance targets that required additional cash payments were not achieved and no remaining obligation existed relating to the purchase agreement.


Litigation and Arbitration


We are regularly involved in litigation and arbitration, both as a defendant and as a plaintiff. The litigation and arbitration naming us as a defendant ordinarily involves our activities as an insurer, investor, or taxpayer.


It is not feasible to predict or determine the ultimate outcome of all legal or arbitration proceedings or to provide reasonable ranges of potential losses. Based on current information, we believe that the outcomes of our litigation and arbitration matters are not likely, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition. However, given the large or indeterminate amounts sought in certain of these matters and the inherent unpredictability of litigation and arbitration, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or cash flows in particular quarterly or annual periods.


Regulatory Matters


State regulatory bodies, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), the IRS and other regulatory bodies regularly make inquiries of The Phoenix Companies, Phoenix Life and our affiliates and, from time to time, conduct examinations or investigations concerning our compliance with, among other things, insurance laws and securities laws. We endeavor to respond to such inquiries in an appropriate way and to take corrective action if warranted.


Regulatory actions may be difficult to assess or quantify. The nature and magnitude of their outcomes may remain unknown for substantial periods of time. It is not feasible to predict or determine the ultimate outcome of all pending inquiries, investigations, legal proceedings and other regulatory actions, or to provide reasonable ranges of potential losses. Based on current information, we believe that the outcomes of our regulatory matters are not likely, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition. However, given the inherent unpredictability of regulatory matters, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect on our results of operation or cash flows in particular quarterly or annual periods.


Discontinued Reinsurance Operations


In 1999, we discontinued our reinsurance operations through a combination of sale, reinsurance and placement of certain retained group accident and health reinsurance business into run-off. We adopted a formal plan to stop writing new contracts covering these risks and to end the existing contracts as soon as those contracts would permit. However, we remain liable for claims under contracts which have not been commuted.


For example, we participate in a workers’ compensation reinsurance pool formerly managed by Unicover Managers, Inc. (Unicover). The pool ceased accepting new risks in early 1999. Further, we were a retrocessionaire (meaning a reinsurer of other reinsurers) of the Unicover pool. We have been involved in disputes relating to the activities of Unicover. These disputes have been substantially resolved or settled.




F-54






21.

Contingent Liabilities (continued)


Our discontinued group accident and health reinsurance operations also include other (non-Unicover) workers’ compensation reinsurance contracts and personal accident reinsurance contracts, including contracts assumed in the London market. We are engaged in arbitrations, disputes or investigations with several ceding companies over the validity of, or amount of liabilities assumed under, their contracts. These arbitrations, disputes and investigations are in various stages.


We bought retrocessional reinsurance for a significant portion of our assumed reinsurance liabilities. Some of the retrocessionaires have disputed the validity of, or amount of liabilities assumed under, their contracts with us. Most of these disputes with retrocessionaires have been resolved or settled. The remaining arbitrations and disputes are at various stages.


We have established reserves for claims and related expenses that we expect to pay on our discontinued group accident and health reinsurance business. These reserves are based on currently known facts and estimates about, among other things, the amount of insured losses and expenses that we believe we will pay, the period over which they will be paid, the amount of reinsurance we believe we will collect from our retrocessionaires and the likely legal and administrative costs of winding down the business.


During 2009, we received and evaluated additional claims information that became available from certain ceding companies. We also resolved a dispute with a ceding company that had been the subject of arbitration and commuted certain contracts with other ceding companies. Based on management’s best estimate, we increased reserves and recorded a pre-tax charge of $71.7 million in discontinued operations. Our total net reserves are $60.7 million as of December 31, 2009.


We expect our reserves and reinsurance to cover the run-off of the business; however, unfavorable or favorable claims and/or reinsurance recovery experience is reasonably possible and could result in our recognition of additional losses or gains, respectively, in future years. Given the uncertainty associated with litigation and other dispute resolution proceedings, as well as the lack of sufficient claims information, the range of any reasonably possible additional future losses or gains is not currently estimable. However, it is our opinion, based on current information and after consideration of the provisions made in these financial statements, that any future adverse or favorable development of recorded reserves and/or reinsurance recoverables will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position. Nevertheless, it is possible that future developments could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or cash flows in particular quarterly or annual periods.



22.

Other Commitments


During 2008, we announced an agreement under which Electronic Data Systems (EDS) will continue managing technology infrastructure and software applications through 2015. Our total investment in business technology with EDS, including the value of the new agreement, will be $129.0 million from January 2009 through December 2015.


During the normal course of business, Phoenix Life enters into agreements to fund venture capital partnerships and to purchase private placement investments. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had committed $293.7 million under such investments, of which $95.6 million is expected to be disbursed by December 31, 2010.


In connection with the sale of certain venture capital partnerships, we issued a guarantee with respect to the outstanding unfunded commitments related to the partnerships that were sold. As of December 31, 2009, we have funded $6.7 million under such guarantees and have established a receivable from the respective partnership for such amounts. To the best of our knowledge, we believe these amounts to be fully collectible. There remains $5.7 million of unfunded commitments subject to this guarantee.

Subsequent Events


We evaluated events subsequent to December 31, 2009 and through April 28, 2010, the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements. We have determined there have been no events that have occurred that would require adjustments to our consolidated financial statements. Significant events requiring additional disclosure are as follows:


On January 13, 2010, A.M. Best Company, Inc. downgraded our financial strength rating from B++ to B+ and maintained its negative outlook.


On February 12, 2010, Standard & Poor’s downgraded our financial strength rating from BB to BB- and maintained its negative outlook.

Item 27. Number of Contract Owners.

On March 31, 2010 there were 8,951 qualified and 5,793 nonqualified contract owners.

 

Item 28. Indemnification.

Section 722 of the New York Business Corporation Law, as made applicable to insurance companies by Section 108 of the New York Insurance Law, provides that a corporation may indemnify any director or officer of the corporation made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding other than one by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, whether civil or criminal, including an action by or in the right of any other corporation of any type or kind, by reason of the fact that he, his testator or intestate, served such other corporation in any capacity at the request of the indemnifying corporation.

Article VI, Section 6.1 of the Bylaws of the Depositor (as amended and restated effective December 1, 2004) provide that:

“To the full extent permitted by the laws of the State of New York, the Company shall indemnify any person made or threatened to be made a party to any action, proceeding or investigation, whether civil or criminal, by reason of the fact that such person, or such person's testator or intestate:

(1) is or was a Director, officer or employee of the Company; or


(2) serves or served another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise in any capacity at the request of the Company, and at the time of such services, was a director, officer or employee of the Company against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorney’s fees, actually and necessarily incurred in connection with or as a result of such action, proceeding or investigation, or any appeal therein.

Subject to applicable law, the indemnification provided in this Article VI shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which a director, officer or employee of the Company seeking indemnification may be entitled.”

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) 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 against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses 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.

  (a) PEPCO serves as the principal underwriter for the following entities:
