Prospectus dated May 1, 2007

 

Effective immediately, the section entitled “401(k) Plans” on pages [43-44] of the Prospectus is deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:

 

401(k) Plans

 

Section 401(k) of the Code allows non-governmental employers or employee organizations, rural cooperatives, Indian tribal governments and rural irrigation and water conservation entities to offer a cash or deferred arrangement to employees under a profit-sharing or stock bonus plan. Generally, state and local governments are not permitted to establish 401(k) Plans. However, under a grandfather rule, certain plans adopted before certain dates in 1986 may continue to be offered by governmental entities. Pre-tax salary reduction Contributions and any income thereon are currently excluded from the Participant's gross income. Generally, the maximum elective deferral amount that an individual may defer on a pre-tax basis to one or more 401(k) Plans is limited to an applicable dollar amount, as indexed from time to time. Elective deferrals to a 401(k) Plan must also be aggregated with elective deferrals made by a Participant to a 403(b) Plan, to a simplified employee pension and to a SIMPLE retirement account. For 2007, the total amount of elective deferrals that can be contributed to all such plans is $15,500, adjusted for cost-of-living increases in $500 increments.

The contribution limits in Section 415 of the Code also apply. The amount a highly compensated employee may contribute may be further reduced to enable the plan to meet the discrimination testing requirements. Amounts contributed to a 401(k) Plan are subject to FICA and FUTA tax when contributed.

If allowed by the plan, all employees who are eligible to make elective deferrals under the plan and who have attained age 50 before the close of the plan year shall be eligible to make catch-up contributions in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of Section 414(v) of the Code.

Amounts contributed in excess of the above-described limits, and the earnings thereon, must be distributed from the plan and included in the Participant’s gross income. Excess amounts that are not properly corrected can have severe adverse consequences to the plan and may result in additional taxes to the Participant.

Pre-tax amounts deferred into the plan within the applicable limits, and the net investment gain, if any, reflected in the Participant Annuity Account Value are included in a Participant's gross income only for the taxable year when such amounts are paid to the Participant under the terms of the plan. Elective deferrals and earnings thereon may not be distributed prior to age 59 1/2, unless the Participant dies, becomes disabled, severs employment or suffers a genuine financial hardship meeting the requirements of the Code. Restrictions apply to the amount that may be distributed for financial hardship. Participants should consult with their employer as to the availability of benefits under the employer's plan.

 

This Supplement must be accompanied by or read in conjunction with the current Prospectus, dated May 1, 2007, and should be retained for future reference.
