Table of Contents

II. Overview

This overview tells you some key points you should know about the Contract. Because this is an overview, it does not contain all the information that may be important to you. You should read this entire Prospectus carefully, including its Appendices and the Statement of Additional Information (the “SAI”) for more detailed information.

We disclose all material features and benefits of the Contracts in this Prospectus. Insurance laws and regulations apply to us in every state in which our Contracts are sold. As a result, a Contract purchased in one state may have terms and conditions that vary from the terms and conditions of a Contract purchased in a different jurisdiction. We disclose all material variations in this Prospectus.

What kind of Contract is described in this Prospectus?

The Contract is a single Purchase Payment deferred Variable Annuity contract between you and the Company that may be purchased with a distribution from a GIFL Select Retirement Plan. A Contract may be purchased as a traditional IRA or as a Roth IRA, but not both. The Contract is “deferred” because it provides for payments to be made by us beginning on a future date, and it is “variable” because Contract Value may increase or decrease daily based upon your investment choices. The Contract also provides a guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit that we call “GIFL Select.”

We issue the Contract in New York in the form of a certificate of coverage under a master group contract. We issue master group contracts to one or more trusts that are formed for the purpose of providing individual retirement accounts or individual retirement annuities. We use the word “Contract” in this prospectus to refer to both a certificate issued under a group contract in New York, and the individual contracts we issue outside of New York.

 

The Contract contains fees, investment options, GIFL Select benefits and limitations that may differ from the GIFL Select feature in your employer’s retirement plan. Please read this Prospectus carefully before you invest.

Who is issuing my Contract?

Your Contract provides the name of the Company that issues your Contract. In general, John Hancock USA may issue the Contract in any jurisdiction except New York. John Hancock New York issues the Contract only in New York. Each Company sponsors its own Separate Account.

Why should I consider purchasing the Contract?

The Contract permits you to invest a distribution from your GIFL Select Account Value into a Variable Annuity Contract that you intend to use as a traditional IRA or as a Roth IRA. You invest Contract Value in Variable Investment Options that may increase or decrease in value. You may transfer among the Variable Investment Options and take withdrawals of Contract Value. The Contract also offers the GIFL Select feature (see “What is the GIFL Select feature under my Contract?” below), which allows you to transfer some or all of the Lifetime Income Amount protection we provided under your employer’s GIFL Select Retirement Plan.

Please refer to the section below entitled “What are some of the differences between the Contract and my GIFL Select Retirement Plan?” for a comparison of some of the features of your current plan and the Contract. You should also be aware that, if you leave your current employer, you may have more choices than purchasing a Contract. You may be able to leave your GIFL Select Retirement Plan account with your former employer, or you may be able to withdraw the money in the plan, or you may be able to transfer your account balance to your new employer’s plan.

In addition to providing access to a diverse selection of investment options and a guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit, the Contract offers the availability of periodic annuity payments that can begin on the Contract’s Annuity Commencement Date. You select the Annuity Commencement Date, the frequency of payment and the type of annuity payment option that we make available. Annuity payments are made to you. We offer Fixed Annuity and Variable Annuity payment options. Variable Annuity payment amounts are variable, based on your investment choices. If you select annuity payments under the Contract, you will no longer be able to take withdrawals.

Before purchasing a Contract, you should carefully consider your liquidity needs and your desire and ability:

 

   

to fund an early retirement, because you could lose benefits under the GIFL Select feature if you take withdrawals before the Lifetime Income Date, and you must satisfy “holding period” and age requirements before we will set a Lifetime Income Date (you could lose the GIFL Select guarantee if Withdrawal Amounts deplete your Contract Value, and any remaining Benefit Base, to zero); and

 

   

to limit your annual withdrawal amounts to the Lifetime Income Amount after the applicable Lifetime Income Date, because withdrawals of Contract Value before then (and any Excess Withdrawal in any year after that) not only decrease your Lifetime Income guarantee, but may eliminate it.

Table of Contents

What are some of the differences between the Contract and my GIFL Select Retirement Plan?

Before you purchase a Contract, you should consider carefully the differences between the GIFL Select Retirement Plan, which is a defined contribution retirement plan, and the Contract, which is an individual retirement annuity contract. Some of the differences between the two products include:

 

   

A GIFL Select Retirement Plan is under the control of an employer, while you own and control the Contract outright.

 

   

Your GIFL Select Retirement Plan may offer investment options in addition to those available with the GIFL Select feature, including a money market or a stable value investment option; no additional investment options are available with the Contract.

 

   

A GIFL Select Retirement Plan has significantly different federal tax implications than a traditional IRA or a Roth IRA, governing such things as when contributions and distributions may be made. There may also be different state and local tax implications. Federal tax issues for IRAs are described in “VII. Federal Tax Matters.” You should consult with your own qualified tax advisor before purchasing a Contract.

 

   

Fees may differ between the two products, both in amount and in timing. Fees for the GIFL Select Retirement Plan, including the fees for its underlying investment portfolios, vary from employer to employer. Ask your plan administrator for fee information applicable to your plan. All of the Contract’s fees, including the fees of its underlying Portfolios, are listed in “III. Fee Tables.”

 

   

Both the GIFL Select Retirement Plan and the Contract offer Step-Up opportunities when establishing the Lifetime Income Amount. The Contract offers an additional Step-Up opportunity when you roll over to the Contract from the plan.

 

   

Distributions from the GIFL Select Retirement Plan and the Contract, if not a Roth IRA, must begin at age 70 1/2, although a plan can mandate an earlier age.

 

   

A GIFL Select Retirement Plan may allow loans.

 

   

In the GIFL Select Retirement Plan, you may establish the Lifetime Income Amount on the day that the age requirement and holding period are both satisfied. In the GIFL Select IRA Rollover Variable Annuity, you may not establish the Lifetime Income Amount until the Contract Anniversary on or after the date that these requirements are satisfied.

You should also review your current employer’s retirement plan to determine its merits and your ability to contribute amounts to that plan.

The foregoing is not meant to be a complete list. For more information on your GIFL Select Retirement Plan and the Contract, you should consult with a qualified tax advisor and your plan administrator, and read your plan documents and this Prospectus.

How can I invest money in the Contract?

We use the term “Purchase Payment” to refer to the investments you make in the Contract, which must come from the distribution of a GIFL Select Account Value to a Contract that you intend to use as a traditional IRA or a Roth IRA. Your Purchase Payment for a Contract cannot include distributions from other accounts under the Plan. If you are the surviving Spouse of a GIFL Select Retirement Plan participant, you are permitted to roll over your GIFL Select plan benefits to a Contract. The Contract is not available for purchase if you are a non-Spousal Beneficiary of a GIFL Select Retirement Plan participant.

We will issue a Contract as a Roth IRA if your Purchase Payment is from your GIFL Select Retirement Plan Roth Account or if your Purchase Payment is from a “non-Roth” Account and you specifically instruct us to establish the Contract as a Roth IRA. In all other cases, we will issue a Contract as a traditional IRA. Please see “Eligibility” in “V. Description of the Contract” for further information about purchasing the Contract as a traditional IRA or as a Roth IRA. We provide information about tax implications of certain distributions and conversions to a Roth IRA in “VII. Federal Tax Matters.”

(Applicable to Contracts issued in California Only) For Contracts issued in California to persons 60 years of age or older, your Purchase Payment will be allocated to the Money Market Variable Investment Option (unless you elect otherwise) for the first 30 days after the date the Contract is delivered to you. At the end of this 30-day period, we will automatically transfer the Contract Value in the Money Market Variable Investment Option to the Contract’s other available Variable Investment Options. See “V. Description of the Contract – Other Contract Provisions – Initial Inspection Period” for more details.

What charges do I pay under the Contract?

Your Contract’s asset-based charges compensate us primarily for our administrative expenses and for the mortality and expense risks that we assume under the Contract. We also assess a GIFL Select fee, based on the Contract’s Benefit Base. We deduct the charges proportionally from each of your Variable Investment Options. Although we do not impose a sales charge, we may use amounts derived from any of the charges, including certain fees and expenses of the underlying Portfolios, for payment of our distribution expenses. We make deductions for any applicable taxes based on the amount of the Purchase Payment.

Table of Contents

What are my investment choices?

You may invest in any of the Variable Investment Options. Each Variable Investment Option is a Subaccount of a Separate Account that invests solely in a corresponding Portfolio. The Portfolio prospectuses contain full descriptions of the Portfolios. The amount you’ve invested in any Variable Investment Option will increase or decrease based upon the investment performance of the corresponding Portfolio (reduced by certain charges we deduct – see “III. Fee Tables”). Your Contract Value during the Accumulation Period and the amounts of annuity payments will depend upon the investment performance of the underlying Portfolio of the Variable Investment Option you select.

In selecting Variable Investment Options under a Contract, you should consider:

 

   

You bear the investment risk that your Contract Value will increase or decrease to reflect the results of your Contract’s investment in underlying Portfolios. We do not guarantee Contract Value in a Variable Investment Option or the investment performance of any Portfolio.

 

   

Although each Portfolio may invest directly in securities or indirectly, through other underlying portfolios, you will not have the ability to determine the investment decisions or strategies of the Portfolios.

If you would prefer a broader range of investment options, you (and your financial advisor) should carefully consider the features of other variable annuity contracts offered by other life insurance companies, or other forms of traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs, before purchasing a Contract.

How can I change my investment choices?

Allocation of Purchase Payment. You designate how your Purchase Payment is to be allocated among the Variable Investment Options at the time that you purchase the Contract.

Transfers Among Variable Investment Options. Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, you may transfer your investment amounts among Variable Investment Options, subject to certain restrictions described below and discussed in greater detail in “V. Description of the Contract – Transfers Among Variable Investment Options.” After the Annuity Commencement Date, you may transfer your allocations among the Variable Investment Options, subject to certain restrictions described in “V. Description of the Contract – Transfers After the Annuity Commencement Date.”

The Variable Investment Options can be a target for abusive transfer activity. To discourage disruptive frequent trading activity, we have adopted a policy for each Separate Account to restrict transfers to two per calendar month per Contract, with certain exceptions described in more detail in “V. Description of the Contract – Transfers Among Variable Investment Options.” We apply each Separate Account’s policy and procedures uniformly to all Contract Owners.

In addition to the transfer restrictions that we impose, the John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust also has adopted policies under Rule 22c-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) to detect and deter abusive short-term trading. Accordingly, a Portfolio may require us to impose trading restrictions if it discovers violations of its frequent short-term trading policy. We will provide tax identification numbers and other Contract Owner transaction information to John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust upon request, which it may use to identify any pattern or frequency of activity that violates its short-term trading policy.

We reserve the right to restrict Variable Investment Options at any time. If we restrict a Variable Investment Option, you may not be able to transfer or allocate the Purchase Payment to the restricted Variable Investment Option after the date of the restriction. Any amounts you allocated to a Variable Investment Option before we imposed restrictions will not be affected by such restrictions as long as it remains in that Variable Investment Option.

Transfers Between Annuity Options. During the Pay-out Period, you may not transfer from a Variable Annuity Option to a Fixed Annuity Option or from a Fixed Annuity Option to a Variable Annuity Option (see “V. Description of the Contract – Transfers after the Annuity Commencement Date”).

How do I access my money?

During the Accumulation Period, you may withdraw all or a portion of your Contract Value. Withdrawals may be subject to income tax, including an additional 10% penalty tax in many cases, on the taxable portion of any distributions taken from a Contract. Owners of Contracts issued as Roth IRAs may be subject to a penalty tax for withdrawals taken on certain distributions within the first five years after establishment of the account.

If we issue your Contract for use as a traditional IRA, you will be subject to tax requirements for minimum distributions over your lifetime. The Code requires that distributions from most Contracts commence and/or be completed within a certain period of time. This effectively limits the period of time during which you can continue to derive tax deferral benefits from any tax-deductible

What is the GIFL Select feature under my Contract?

The Contract permits you to choose how much Contract Value to withdraw at any time. We designed the GIFL Select feature of the Contract to guarantee that a Lifetime Income Amount will be available for annual withdrawals for as long as you live, starting on the Lifetime Income Date, even if your Contract Value declines to zero:

 

   

We guarantee a Lifetime Income Amount of 4%–5% under single-life Contracts and 4.5% under joint-life Contracts for annual withdrawals during your retirement years. Before the guarantee begins, your Contract must reach the Contract Anniversary on or after you satisfy any remaining age requirements (i.e., either the “Age 59 1/2 Trigger” or the “Age 65 Trigger”) and “holding period” requirements (i.e., up to 5 years). (Please read the “Guaranteed Lifetime Income Withdrawal Benefit” section of this Prospectus for more information.)

 

   

We provide a one time “Step-Up” opportunity at the time of the first withdrawal after the Lifetime Income Date to reflect favorable investment performance, if any, as of the prior Anniversary Date of the Contract.

 

   

We may increase the Lifetime Income Amount to reflect annual Benefit Enhancements, if you defer taking withdrawals of Cash Value during a Contract Year. The current Benefit Enhancement Rate is equal to 3% of the Benefit Base in effect at the end of the immediately preceding Contract Year. The Contract’s Benefit Enhancement rate will not change once the Contract is issued. We may reduce the Benefit Enhancement Rate at any time for new Contracts issued on or after the date of notice of the reduction. We also may increase the Benefit Enhancement Rate by means of a promotional Benefit Enhancement Rate at any time for new Contracts. We may terminate this promotional Benefit Enhancement Rate at any time. Contracts that do not receive a promotional Benefit Enhancement will receive the Benefit Enhancement Rate in effect at the time the Contract is issued, which will never be less than 1%. Please refer to “V. Description of the Contract” for more details.

 

   

We may decrease the Lifetime Income Amount if you take Excess Withdrawals.

You must satisfy certain conditions and make certain choices, however, to fully benefit from the GIFL Select feature guarantee. You must satisfy the age and holding period requirements specified above before we set the first available Lifetime Income Date and calculate a Lifetime Income Amount. If you take any withdrawal before we set the first available Lifetime Income Date, we will reduce the amounts we use to calculate the Lifetime Income Amount. If you take annual withdrawals after we set the Lifetime Income Date that are in excess of the Lifetime Income Amount, we will reduce the amounts we use to calculate the Lifetime Income Amount for future Contract Years.

Please refer to “Guaranteed Lifetime Income Withdrawal Benefit” in “V. Description of the Contract” for more details, including examples to describe how the benefit works and the impact of Excess Withdrawals.

How is the initial Lifetime Income Amount calculated?

We use different formulas to determine an initial Lifetime Income Amount, depending on the form of Lifetime Income Amount you select, the type of Lifetime Income Amount for which you qualify and, in some cases, your age when you purchase a Contract.

When you first purchase a Contract, we determine a Benefit Base that is the greater of:

 

   

the GIFL Select Account Value distribution that you use as the Purchase Payment for the Contract; or

 

   

the Benefit Base under your GIFL Select Retirement Plan that we permit you to transfer to the Contract. We will permit you to transfer all of your Benefit Base only if you use your entire GIFL Select Account Value distribution as a Purchase Payment for the Contract.

After you purchase a Contract, we may reduce the Benefit Base (and the Lifetime Income Amount) if you take Excess Withdrawals, and we may increase the Benefit Base (and the Lifetime Income Amount) if you qualify for any of the opportunities described below. The Benefit Base has no cash value and usually will differ from the Contract Value you may withdraw. The maximum Benefit Base is $5 million.

We determine the initial Lifetime Income Amount on the earliest available Lifetime Income Date. To do this, we multiply the greater of the Contract Value or the Benefit Base then in effect by the rate applicable to your Contract. We will recalculate the Lifetime Income Amount if you take no withdrawals or annuitize the Contract during the next Contract Year. We describe the rates we use to calculate the Lifetime Income Amount on the earliest available Lifetime Income Date, and certain age and holding period requirements, on the next page.

Table of Contents

Will I have an opportunity to increase the Lifetime Income Amount under my GIFL Select guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit?

Yes. The GIFL Select feature under the Contract has three ways to provide a potential increase in the Lifetime Income Amount:

 

   

if you purchase a Contract before your Age 65 Trigger, and defer taking any withdrawals (or annuitizing the Contract) between your Age 59 1/2 Trigger and your Age 65 Trigger, we will use a higher rate to calculate a Single Life Lifetime Income Amount;

 

   

if you do not take any withdrawals of Contract Value (or annuitize the Contract) during any Contract Year, we will add a Benefit Enhancement to the Benefit Base at the beginning of the next Contract Year that may increase the Lifetime Income Amount for future Contract Years*; and

 

   

when you take your first withdrawal after the Lifetime Income Date, you have a one-time opportunity to automatically increase (“step up”) the Benefit Base we use to determine the Lifetime Income Amount. A Step-Up will reflect investment gains in the Contract Value, if any, as of the prior Contract Anniversary. We provide no assurance that your Contract Value will experience investment gains; it may increase or decrease in value at any time.

 

* If you were taking distributions under a GIFL Select Retirement Plan, and continue to do so under a Contract, you will not qualify for an annual Benefit Enhancement.

Before purchasing a Contract, you should carefully consider whether you are likely to make withdrawals of Contract Value that may impact the amount of the GIFL Select guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit.

Please refer to “Guaranteed Lifetime Income Withdrawal Benefit” in “V. Description of the Contract” for more information.

What rates do we use to determine the Lifetime Income Amount, and what are the applicable holding period and age requirements that you must satisfy for the GIFL Select guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit?

We designed the GIFL Select feature to provide minimum withdrawal benefit guarantees on a single life and on a joint Spousal life basis. The GIFL Select guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit begins on the Contract Anniversary on or after you satisfy a holding period requirement and have turned the applicable age. We charge a fee for the benefit from the date we issue a Contract, however, even if you have not satisfied the necessary requirements at that time.

Holding Period. Your Contract must remain in force throughout a holding period measured from the date we issue the Contract. The holding period is 5 Contract Years, but we will reduce the required holding period to reflect the time that you were a participant in a GIFL Select Retirement Plan. If you are a surviving Spouse of a deceased participant, the holding period will reflect the time your Spouse was in the plan.

Age Requirements – Single Life. In most cases, you must have reached your Age 59 1/2 Trigger to establish a Single Life Lifetime Income Amount. If you have reached your Age 59 1/2 Trigger, but have not yet reached your Age 65 Trigger, when you establish the GIFL Select feature, we will use a 4% rate to calculate a Single Life Lifetime Income Amount. If you wait until you have reached your Age 65 Trigger before you establish the GIFL Select feature, we will use a 5% rate to calculate a Single Life Lifetime Income Amount.

We do not apply an age requirement, however, if you established a guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit under a GIFL Select Retirement Plan and continue to take distributions under a Contract. In that event, we will use the rate applicable to your GIFL Select Account, as follows:

 

   

4% if you commenced receiving distributions under the plan on a single life basis before age 65,

 

   

4.5% if you commenced receiving distributions under the plan on a joint Spousal basis (we will use this rate where you are a former participant in the plan, or a surviving Spouse of a former participant, and are purchasing a Contract for a single life Lifetime Income Amount), or

 

   

5% if you commenced receiving distributions under the plan on a single life basis on or after age 65.

In this Prospectus, we refer to each of these types of single life Lifetime Income Amounts as a Continuation Single Life Lifetime Income Amount. Your Contract will contain the applicable rate and refer to it as a Single Life Lifetime Income Amount.

Age Requirements – Joint Spousal Life. You and your Spouse must both reach your Age 65 Triggers to establish a Spousal Lifetime Income Amount. In that event, we will use a 4.5% rate to calculate a Spousal Lifetime Income Amount.

Please read “V. Description of the Contract – Lifetime Income Provisions” for additional details.

Example: Assume that you purchase a GIFL Select IRA Rollover Variable Annuity Contract on May 1, 2015 for a Single Life Lifetime Income Amount, when you are age 60 and the holding period in your GIFL Select Retirement Plan was scheduled to end on May 31, 2015. Your Lifetime Income Date for GIFL Select is May 1, 2016, the Contract Anniversary after you have satisfied both the

Table of Contents

age and holding period requirement. If you purchase the GIFL Select IRA Rollover Variable Annuity Contract on June 1, 2015, your Lifetime Income Date will be June 1, 2015 since both requirements were satisfied prior to the date that the Contract was purchased.

How do I establish my GIFL Select guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit?

Once you satisfy the applicable age and holding period requirements, we will set the first available Lifetime Income Date and calculate a Lifetime Income Amount. You will establish that Lifetime Income Amount if you take a withdrawal at any time during the next 12 months. If you do:

 

   

the Lifetime Income Amount will reflect a Step-Up in the Benefit Base if there were investment gains in Contract Value as of the prior Contract Anniversary;

 

   

you will not be eligible for the Benefit Enhancement for that year, but you will remain eligible for future annual Benefit Enhancements if you defer taking withdrawals in future Contract Years and do not annuitize your Contract; and

 

   

you will need to tell us before establishing the Lifetime Income Amount if you wish to establish a Spousal Lifetime Income Amount in lieu of a Single Life Lifetime Income Amount. Once you establish a Lifetime Income Amount, you will not be able to change from a Single Life form of benefit to a Spousal form of benefit, or vice-versa.

If you defer taking withdrawals after we set the first available Lifetime Income Date, we will recalculate the Lifetime Income Amount at the next Contract Anniversary. You will then be able to establish that Lifetime Income Amount during the following 12 months. We will continue to recalculate the Lifetime Income Amount, and you will be able to establish the recalculated amount if you continue to defer withdrawals until the Maturity Date.

What are the tax consequences of owning a Contract?

In most cases, no income tax will have to be paid on amounts you earn under a Contract until these earnings are paid out. All or part of the following distributions from a Contract may constitute a taxable payout of earnings:

 

   

withdrawals (including surrender of the Contract, payments of the Lifetime Income Amount or any systematic withdrawals);

 

   

payment of any death proceeds; and

 

   

periodic payments under one of our annuity payment options.

How much you will be taxed on a distribution is based upon complex tax rules and depends on matters such as:

 

   

the type of the distribution;

 

   

when the distribution is made;

 

   

the rules governing distributions and rollovers from a Qualified Plan to a traditional IRA or Roth IRA;

 

   

the rules governing distributions from a traditional IRA or Roth IRA; and

 

   

the circumstances under which the payments are made.

The Code does not permit Contracts issued to qualify as traditional IRAs or Roth IRAs to be used for loans, assignments or pledges. A 10% penalty tax applies in many cases to the taxable portion of any distributions taken from a Contract issued as a traditional IRA before you reach age 59 1/2. Traditional IRAs are subject to minimum distribution requirements beginning in the year a taxpayer turns age 70 1/2, and both traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs are subject to requirements for death proceeds distributions to commence and/or be completed within a certain period of time. This effectively limits the period of time during which you can derive tax deferral benefits from the rollover of your GIFL Select Account Value into a Contract, or on any earnings under the Contract.

The Contract does not provide any tax-deferral benefits in addition to those that are accorded the Contract because it is an IRA. However, the Contract offers features and benefits that other investments may not offer. You and your financial advisor should carefully consider whether the features and benefits, including the Variable Investment Options, protection through the GIFL Select feature, and other benefits provided under the Contract are suitable for your needs and objectives and are appropriate in light of the expense.

We provide additional information on taxes in the “VII. Federal Tax Matters” section of this Prospectus. We make no attempt to provide more than general information. Purchasers of Contracts for use with any retirement plan should consult with a qualified tax advisor regarding the suitability of the Contract.

Can I return my Contract?

In most cases, you have the right to cancel your Contract within 10 days (or longer in some states) after you receive it. Because your Contract is issued as an IRA, you will receive a refund of the Purchase Payment you made during the first seven days of this period if that amount is greater than the Contract Value. After seven days, we will return the Contract Value. The date of cancellation is the date we receive the Contract. Rather than receive the Contract Value as a taxable distribution, you may opt to return this amount to the GIFL Select Retirement Plan (if permitted under the plan) (see “VII. Federal Tax Matters”).

Table of Contents

(Applicable to Contracts issued in California Only) Contracts issued in California to persons 60 years of age or older may be cancelled by returning the Contract to our Annuities Service Center or agent at any time within 30 days after receiving it. We will allocate your Purchase Payment to the Money Market Variable Investment Option during this period. We will, however, permit you to elect to allocate your Purchase Payment during this 30-day period to one or more of the Contract’s other available Variable Investment Options. If you cancel the Contract during this 30-day period and your Purchase Payment was allocated to the Money Market Variable Investment Option, we will pay you the greater of (a) the original amount of your Purchase Payment and (b) the Contract Value computed at the end of the Business Day on which we receive your returned Contract. If your Purchase Payment was allocated to a Variable Investment Option (other than the Money Market Variable Investment Option), we will pay you the Contract Value computed at the end of the Business Day on which we receive your returned Contract. At the end of the 30-day period, we will transfer your money automatically into other available Variable Investment Options that you select. See “V. Description of the Contract – Other Contract Provisions – Initial Inspection Period.”

Will I receive a Transaction Confirmation?

We will send you a confirmation statement for certain transactions in your Variable Investment Options. You should carefully review these transaction confirmations to verify their accuracy. You should immediately report any mistakes to our Annuities Service Center (at the address or phone number shown on the first page of this Prospectus). If you fail to notify our Annuities Service Center of any mistake within 60 days of the delivery of the transaction confirmation, you will be deemed to have ratified the transaction. Please contact the John Hancock Annuities Service Center at the applicable telephone number or Internet address shown on the first page of this Prospectus for more information on electronic transactions.

Examples

We provide the following examples that are intended to help you compare the costs of investing in a Contract with the costs of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include Contract Owner expenses, Contract fees, Separate Account annual expenses and Portfolio fees and expenses.

Example 1: Maximum Portfolio operating expenses

The following example assumes that you invest $10,000 in a Contract, that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the maximum GIFL Select fee and the maximum fees and expenses of any of the Portfolios apply. We calculate the GIFL Select fee on the assumption that your initial Benefit Base is $10,000, you take no withdrawals during the period shown, you receive a Benefit Enhancement of 3% on each Contract Anniversary, and you do not set your Lifetime Income Amount during the period shown. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

 

John Hancock USA and John Hancock New York

     1 Year    3 Years    5 Years    10 Years

If you surrender the Contract at the end of the applicable time period:

   $229    $705    $1,208    $2,593

If you annuitize, or do not surrender the Contract at the end of the applicable time period:

   $229    $705    $1,208    $2,593

Example 2: Minimum Portfolio operating expenses

The next example assumes that you invest $10,000 in a Contract, that your investment has a 5% return each year, the maximum GIFL Select fee and the minimum fees and expenses of any of the Portfolios apply. We calculate the GIFL Select fee on the assumption that your initial Benefit Base is $10,000, you take no withdrawals during the period shown, you receive a Benefit Enhancement of 3% on each Contract Anniversary, and you do not set your Lifetime Income Amount during the period shown. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

 

John Hancock USA and John Hancock New York

     1 Year    3 Years    5 Years    10 Years

If you surrender the Contract at the end of the applicable time period:

   $203    $628    $1,079    $2,327

If you annuitize, or do not surrender the Contract at the end of the applicable time period:

   $203    $628    $1,079    $2,327

Example 3: Minimum Portfolio operating expenses

The next example assumes that you invest $10,000 in a Contract, that your investment has a 5% return each year, the current GIFL Select fee and the minimum fees and expenses of any of the Portfolios apply. We calculate the GIFL Select fee on the assumption that your initial Benefit Base is $10,000, you take no withdrawals during the period shown, you receive a Benefit Enhancement of 3% on each Contract Anniversary, and you do not set your Lifetime Income Amount during the period shown. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

 

John Hancock USA and John Hancock New York

     1 Year    3 Years    5 Years    10 Years

If you surrender the Contract at the end of the applicable time period:

   $188    $583    $1,002    $2,166

If you annuitize, or do not surrender the Contract at the end of the applicable time period:

   $188    $583    $1,002    $2,166

JHIMS LLC (the “Adviser”) has contractually agreed to reduce its management fee and/or make payment to the Portfolio in an amount equal to the amount by which “Other Expenses” of the Portfolio exceed 0.00% of the averaged annual net assets (on an annualized basis) of the Portfolio. “Other Expenses” means all of the expenses of the Portfolio, excluding certain expenses such as advisory fees, taxes, brokerage commissions, interest expense, litigation and indemnification expenses and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Portfolio’s business, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees, underlying portfolio expenses (“Acquired Portfolio Fees and Expenses”), and short dividend expense. The current expense limitation agreement expires on April 30, 2017 unless renewed by mutual agreement of the Portfolio and the Adviser based upon a determination that this is appropriate under the circumstances at that time. The Adviser may recapture operating expenses reimbursed or fees waived under previous expense limitation or waiver arrangements for a period of three years following the month in which the reimbursements or waivers occurred to the extent that the Portfolio is below its expense limitation during this period.

John Hancock USA, formerly known as “The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.),” is a stock life insurance company originally organized under the laws of Maine on August 20, 1955, by a special act of the Maine legislature. John Hancock USA redomesticated under the laws of Michigan on December 30, 1992. John Hancock USA is authorized to transact life insurance and annuity business in all states (except New York), the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Its principal office is located at 601 Congress Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02210-2805. John Hancock USA also has an Annuities Service Center – its mailing address is P.O. Box 55444, Boston, MA 02205-5444; its overnight mail address is 30 Dan Road – Suite 55444, Canton, MA 02021-2809; and its email address is www.jhannuities.com.

John Hancock New York, formerly known as “The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company of New York,” is a wholly-owned subsidiary of John Hancock USA and is a stock life insurance company organized under the laws of New York on February 10, 1992. John Hancock New York is authorized to transact life insurance and annuity business only in the State of New York. Its principal office is located at 100 Summit Lake Drive, Valhalla, New York 10595. John Hancock New York also has an Annuities Service Center – its mailing address is P.O. Box 55445, Boston, MA 02205-5445; its overnight mail address is 30 Dan Road – Suite 55444, Canton, MA 02021-2809; and its email address is www.jhannuitiesnewyork.com.

The ultimate parent of both companies is Manulife Financial Corporation, a publicly traded company, based in Toronto, Canada. Manulife Financial Corporation is the holding company of The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company and its subsidiaries, collectively known as Manulife Financial. The Companies changed their names to John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) and John Hancock Life Insurance Company of New York, respectively, on January 1, 2005 following Manulife Financial Corporation’s acquisition of John Hancock Financial Services, Inc.

The Company incurs obligations under the Contract to guarantee certain amounts, and investors must depend on the financial strength of the Company for satisfaction of the Company’s obligations such as the Lifetime Income Amount and any Fixed Annuity Option. To the extent that the Company pays such amounts, the payments will come from the Company’s General Account assets. You should be aware that, unlike the Separate Accounts, the Company’s General Account is not segregated or insulated from the claims of the Company’s creditors. The General Account consists of securities and other investments that may decline in value during periods of adverse market conditions. The Company’s financial statements contained in the SAI include a further discussion of risks inherent within the Company’s General Account investments.

The Separate Accounts

You do not invest directly in the Portfolios made available under the Contracts. When you direct or transfer money to a Variable Investment Option, we will purchase shares of a corresponding Portfolio through one of our Separate Accounts. We hold the Portfolio’s shares in a “Subaccount” (usually with a name similar to that of the corresponding Portfolio) of the applicable Separate Account. A Separate Account’s assets (including the Portfolio’s shares) belong to the Company that maintains that Separate Account.

For Contracts issued by John Hancock USA, we purchase and hold Portfolio shares in John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) Separate Account H, a Separate Account under the laws of Michigan. For Contracts issued by John Hancock New York, we purchase and hold Portfolio shares in John Hancock Life Insurance Company of New York Separate Account A, a Separate Account under the laws of New York.

The income, gains and losses, whether or not realized, from assets of a Separate Account are credited to or charged against that Separate Account without regard to a Company’s other income, gains, or losses. Nevertheless, all obligations arising under a Company’s Contracts are general corporate obligations of that Company. Assets of a Separate Account may not be charged with liabilities arising out of any of the respective Company’s other business.

We reserve the right, subject to compliance with applicable law: to add other Subaccounts; to eliminate existing Subaccounts; and to combine Subaccounts or transfer assets in one Subaccount to another Subaccount that we, or an affiliated company, may establish. We will not eliminate existing Subaccounts or combine Subaccounts without the prior approval of the appropriate state or federal regulatory authorities.

Table of Contents

We registered the Separate Accounts with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as unit investment trusts. Registration under the 1940 Act does not involve supervision by the SEC of the management or investment policies or practices of the Separate Accounts. If a Company determines that it would be in the best interests of persons having voting rights under the Contracts it issues, that Company’s Separate Account may be operated as a management investment company under the 1940 Act or it may be deregistered if 1940 Act registration were no longer required.

The Portfolios

When you select a Variable Investment Option, we invest your money in a Subaccount of our Separate Account and it invests in shares of a corresponding Portfolio of the John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust.

The Portfolios in the Separate Account are NOT publicly traded mutual funds. The Portfolios are only available to you as investment options in the Contracts or, in some cases, through other variable annuity contracts or variable life insurance policies issued by us or by other life insurance companies. In some cases, the Portfolios also may be available through participation in certain tax-qualified pension, retirement or college savings plans.

Investment Management

The Portfolios’ investment advisers and managers may manage publicly traded mutual funds with similar names and investment objectives. However, the Portfolios are NOT directly related to any publicly traded mutual fund. You should not compare the performance of any Portfolio described in this Prospectus with the performance of a publicly traded mutual fund. The performance of any publicly traded mutual fund could differ substantially from that of any of the Portfolios held in our Separate Account.

 

Our Managed Volatility Portfolios

In selecting the Portfolios that are available as Investment Options under the Contract (or its optional benefit Riders), we may establish requirements that are intended, among other things, to mitigate market price and interest rate risk for compatibility with our obligations to pay guarantees and benefits under the Contract (and its optional benefit Riders). We seek to make available Investment Options that use strategies that are intended to lower potential volatility of returns and limit the magnitude of Portfolio losses. These include, but are not limited to, strategies that: encourage diversification in asset classes and style; combine equity exposure with exposure to fixed income securities; and allow us to effectively and efficiently manage our exposure under the Contract (and option benefit Riders). The requirements we impose are intended to protect us from loss. They may increase a Portfolio’s transaction Costs, and may otherwise lower the performance and reduce the availability of Investment Options under the Contract (and/or under optional benefit Riders).

During rising markets, the strategies employed to manage volatility could result in your Contract Value rising less than would have been the case if you had been invested in a Portfolio without the managed volatility strategy. The managed volatility strategy may also suppress the value of the guaranteed Rider benefits. On the other hand, the managed volatility strategy seeks to manage the volatility of returns and limit the magnitude of Portfolio losses during declining markets with high volatility, although there is no guarantee that it will do so.

The John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust is a so-called “series” type mutual fund and is registered under the 1940 Act as an open-end management investment company. John Hancock Investment Management Services, LLC (“JHIMS LLC”) provides investment advisory services to the John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust and receives investment management fees for doing so. JHIMS LLC pays a portion of its investment management fees to other firms that manage the John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust’s Portfolios (i.e., subadvisers). JHIMS LLC is our affiliate and we indirectly benefit from any investment management fees JHIMS LLC retains.

The John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust has obtained an order from the SEC permitting JHIMS LLC, subject to approval by the Board of Trustees, to change a subadviser for a Portfolio or the fees paid to subadvisers and to enter into new subadvisory agreements from time to time without the expense and delay associated with obtaining shareholder approval of the change. This order does not, however, permit JHIMS LLC to appoint a subadviser that is an affiliate of JHIMS LLC or the John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust (other than by reason of serving as subadviser to a Portfolio) (an “Affiliated Subadviser”) or to change a subadvisory fee of an Affiliated Subadviser without the approval of shareholders.

If shares of a Portfolio are no longer available for investment or in our judgment investment in a Portfolio becomes inappropriate, we may eliminate the shares of a Portfolio and substitute shares of another Portfolio, or of another open-end registered investment company. A substitution may be made with respect to existing investments. However, we will make no such substitution without first notifying you and obtaining approval of the SEC (to the extent required by the 1940 Act).

Portfolio Expenses

The table in the Fee Tables section of the Prospectus shows the investment management fees, Rule 12b-1 fees and other operating expenses for these Portfolio shares as a percentage (rounded to two decimal places) of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets for

Table of Contents

2014, except as indicated in the footnotes appearing at the end of the table. Fees and expenses of the Portfolios are not fixed or specified under the terms of the Contracts and may vary from year to year. These fees and expenses differ for each Portfolio and reduce the investment return of each Portfolio. Therefore, they also indirectly reduce the return you might earn on any Variable Investment Options.

The Portfolios pay us or certain of our affiliates compensation for some of the distribution, administrative, shareholder support, marketing and other services we or our affiliates provide to the Portfolios. The amount of this compensation is based on a percentage of the assets of the Portfolios attributable to the variable insurance products that we and our affiliates issue. These percentages may differ from Portfolio to Portfolio and among classes of shares within a Portfolio. In some cases, the compensation is derived from the Rule 12b-1 fees which are deducted from a Portfolio’s assets and paid for the services we or our affiliates provide to that Portfolio. Compensation payments may be made by a Portfolio’s investment adviser or its affiliates. None of these compensation payments results in any charge to you in addition to what is shown in the Total Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses table.

Funds of Funds

Each of the John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust’s Core Strategy, Lifestyle Balanced MVP, Lifestyle Balanced PS Series, Lifestyle Conservative MVP, Lifestyle Conservative PS Series, Lifestyle Growth MVP, Lifestyle Growth PS Series, Lifestyle Moderate MVP and Lifestyle Moderate PS Series (“JHVIT Funds of Funds”) is a “fund of funds” that invests in other underlying mutual funds. Expenses for a fund of funds may be higher than that for other Portfolios because a fund of funds bears its own expenses and indirectly bears its proportionate share of expenses of the underlying portfolios in which it invests. The prospectus for each of the JHVIT Funds of Funds contains a description of the underlying portfolios for that Portfolio, including expenses of the Portfolios, associated investment risks and deductions from and expenses paid out of the assets of the Portfolio.

Portfolio Investment Objectives and Strategies

You bear the investment risk of any Portfolio you choose as a Variable Investment Option for your Contract. The following table contains a general description of the Portfolios that we make available under the Contracts. You can find a full description of each Portfolio, including the investment objectives, policies and restrictions of, and the risks relating to, investment in the Portfolio in the prospectus for that Portfolio. Your financial advisor gives you the Portfolio prospectuses with this Prospectus. You can obtain an additional copy of a Portfolio’s prospectus without charge, by contacting us at the Annuities Service Center website, phone number or address shown on the first page of this Prospectus. You should read the Portfolio’s prospectus carefully before investing in the corresponding Variable Investment Option.

John Hancock Asset Management a division of Manulife Asset Management (US) LLC

Ultra Short Term Bond Trust

  

Seeks a high level of current income consistent with the maintenance of liquidity and the preservation of capital. To do this, the Portfolio invests at least 80% of its net assets in a diversified portfolio of domestic, investment grade debt securities.

Note: The Ultra Short Term Bond Portfolio is not a money market fund. Although the Portfolio seeks to preserve the principal value of your investment, the Portfolio’s value fluctuates, and it is possible to lose money by investing in this investment option.

John Hancock Asset Management (North America) a division of Manulife Asset Management (North America) Limited

Money Market Trust

  

Seeks to obtain maximum current income consistent with preservation of principal and liquidity. To do this, the Portfolio invests in high quality, U.S. dollar denominated money market instruments.

Note: Although the Money Market Portfolio seeks to preserve the principal value of your investment, it is possible to lose money by investing in this investment option. For example, the Money Market Portfolio could lose money if a security purchased by the Portfolio is downgraded, and the Portfolio must sell the security at less than the original cost of the security. Also, the returns of the Money Market Subaccount in your Contract may become extremely low or possibly negative whenever the net income earned, if any, by the underlying Money Market Portfolio is not sufficient to offset the Contract’s expense deductions.

Voting Interest

We vote Portfolio shares held in a Separate Account at any Portfolio shareholder meeting in accordance with timely voting instructions received from the persons having the voting interest under the Contract. We determine the number of Portfolio shares for which voting instructions may be given not more than 90 days prior to the meeting. We arrange for voting materials to be distributed to each person having the voting interest under the Contract together with appropriate forms for giving voting instructions. If there are shares of a Portfolio held by a Subaccount for which we do not receive timely voting instructions, we will vote those shares in the same proportion as the total votes for all of our registered separate accounts for which we have received timely instructions. We will vote all Portfolio shares that we hold directly in our General Account in the same proportion as the total votes for all our registered separate accounts and those of any of our affiliates for which we have received timely instructions. One effect of this proportional voting is that a small number of Contract Owners can determine the outcome of a vote.

During the Accumulation Period, the Contract Owner has the voting interest under a Contract. We determine the number of votes for each Portfolio for which voting instructions may be given by dividing the value of the Variable Investment Option corresponding to the Subaccount in which such Portfolio shares are held by the net asset value per share of that Portfolio.

During the Pay-out Period, the Annuitant has the voting interest under a Contract. We determine the number of votes as to each Portfolio for which voting instructions may be given by dividing the reserve for the Contract allocated to the Subaccount in which such Portfolio shares are held by the net asset value per share of that Portfolio. Generally, the number of votes tends to decrease as annuity payments progress since the amount of reserves attributable to a Contract will usually decrease after commencement of annuity payments.

We reserve the right to make any changes in the voting rights described above that may be permitted by the federal securities laws, regulations, or interpretations thereof.

V. Description of the Contract

Eligibility

The Contract may be purchased only by direct rollovers of “eligible” distributions from a GIFL Select Retirement Account. If you qualify for an “eligible” distribution from a GIFL Select Retirement Plan, you may purchase a Contract by directing your plan sponsor or administrator to issue instructions for us to roll over all or any portion of:

 

   

your “non-Roth” GIFL Select Retirement Account to a Contract issued as a traditional IRA; or

 

   

your “non-Roth” GIFL Select Retirement Account to a Contract issued as a Roth IRA; or

 

   

your “Roth” GIFL Select Retirement Account to a Contract issued as a Roth IRA.

This Contract is not available for purchase, however, if you are a non-Spousal beneficiary of a participant in a GIFL Select Retirement Plan.

If you receive an “eligible” distribution from a GIFL Select Retirement Plan, you may purchase a Contract within 60 days of receipt by submitting a completed application to our Annuities Service Center and remitting a direct rollover of all or any amount you receive:

 

   

from your “non-Roth” GIFL Select Retirement Account for a Contract to be issued as a traditional IRA; or

 

   

from your “non-Roth” GIFL Select Retirement Account for a Contract to be issued as a Roth IRA; or

 

   

from your “Roth” GIFL Select Retirement Account for a Contract to be issued as a Roth IRA.

We will issue a Contract as either a traditional IRA or as a Roth IRA, but not both. If you want both a traditional IRA and a Roth IRA, you may need to issue instructions to your plan sponsor or administrator (or complete separate applications) to purchase separate Contracts.

Please read “VII. Federal Tax Matters” carefully for information about “eligible” distributions and the imposition of federal income tax, including tax withholding, that may be required in connection with purchases of Contracts as Roth IRAs with amounts derived from “non-Roth” GIFL Select Retirement Plan accounts.

When you purchase a Contract from John Hancock New York, you will receive a certificate of coverage under a group contract issued by John Hancock New York to trustees of one or more trusts which permit individuals to purchase IRAs or for IRA annuities.

The Purchase Payment

Your Purchase Payment must be a distribution of the GIFL Select Account Value to a Contract that you intend to use as a traditional IRA or a Roth IRA. We do not permit additional contributions to a Contract. Please see “VII. Federal Tax Matters” for general information about IRA contributions and special qualification rules that apply to Roth IRAs.

You designate how your Purchase Payment is to be allocated among the Variable Investment Options. We credit your Purchase Payment on the Business Day on which it is deemed received in Good Order at our Annuities Service Center, and no later than two Business Days after our receipt of all information necessary for issuing the Contract. We do not deem distributions from a GIFL Select Retirement Plan to be received until the Business Day following the date we receive distribution instructions from the plan sponsor or administrator of the Plan. As a result, there will be a delay of at least one day in which your distribution will not be invested in a Contract. We will inform you of any deficiencies preventing processing if your Contract cannot be issued. If the deficiencies are not remedied within five Business Days after receipt, we will return your Purchase Payment promptly to the plan that made the distribution, unless you specifically consent to our retaining your Purchase Payment until all necessary information is received.

Variable Investment Options and Accumulation Units

During the Accumulation Period, we establish an Investment Account for each Variable Investment Option to which you allocate a portion of your Contract Value. We credit amounts to those Variable Investment Options in the form of “accumulation units” to measure the value of the variable portion of your Contract during the Accumulation Period. We calculate and credit the number of accumulation units in each of your Contract’s Variable Investment Options by dividing (i) the amount allocated to that Variable Investment Option by (ii) the value of an accumulation unit for that Variable Investment Option we next compute after a purchase transaction is complete.

We will usually credit Purchase Payments received by mail or wire transfer on the Business Day on which they are received in Good Order at our Annuities Service Center, and no later than two Business Days after our receipt of all information necessary for issuing the Contract. We will inform you of any deficiencies preventing processing if your Contract cannot be issued. If the deficiencies are not remedied within five Business Days after receipt of your Purchase Payment, we will return your Purchase Payment promptly,

Table of Contents

unless you specifically consent to our retaining your Purchase Payment until all necessary information is received. We credit Purchase Payments received by wire transfer from broker-dealers on the Business Day received by us if the broker-dealers have made special arrangements with us.

We deduct accumulation units based on the value of an accumulation unit we next compute each time you make a withdrawal or transfer amounts from a Variable Investment Option, and when we deduct certain Contract charges, pay death proceeds, or apply amounts to an Annuity Option.

Value of Accumulation Units

The value of your accumulation units will vary from one Business Day to the next depending upon the investment results of the Variable Investment Options holding Contract assets. We arbitrarily set the value of an accumulation unit for each Subaccount on the first Business Day the Subaccount was established. We determine the value of an accumulation unit for any subsequent Business Day by multiplying (i) the value of an accumulation unit for the immediately preceding Business Day by (ii) the “net investment factor” for that Subaccount (described below) for the Business Day on which the value is being determined. We value accumulation units as of the end of each Business Day. We deem a Business Day to end, for these purposes, at the time a Portfolio determines the net asset value of its shares.

We will use a Portfolio share’s net asset value at the end of a Business Day to determine accumulation unit value for a Purchase Payment, withdrawal or transfer transaction only if:

 

   

your Purchase Payment transaction is complete before the close of daytime trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) for that Business Day; or

 

   

we receive your request for a withdrawal or transfer of Contract Value at the Annuities Service Center before the close of daytime trading on the New York Stock Exchange for that Business Day.

Automated Transactions. Automated transactions include transfers under the Asset Rebalancing program, pre-scheduled withdrawals, Required Minimum Distributions, substantially equal periodic payments under section 72(t) of the Code, transactions scheduled to occur on your Contract Anniversary, and annuity payments. Automated transactions are processed and valued as of the date they are scheduled, unless the scheduled day is not a Business Day. In that case, the transaction will be processed and valued on the next Business Day unless, with respect to Required Minimum Distributions, substantially equal periodic payments under section 72(t) of the Code, and annuity payments only, the next Business Day falls in the subsequent calendar year, in which case the transaction will be processed and valued on the prior Business Day. Please see the SAI for more information on processing automated transactions.

Net Investment Factor

The net investment factor is an index used to measure the investment performance of a Subaccount over a valuation period. The net investment factor may be greater, less than or equal to one; therefore, the value of an accumulation unit may increase, decrease or remain the same. We determine the net investment factor for each Subaccount for any valuation period by dividing (a) by (b) and subtracting (c) from the result, where:

 

  (a) is the net asset value per share of a Portfolio share held in the Subaccount determined at the end of the current valuation period, plus any dividends and distributions received per share during the current valuation period;

 

  (b) is the net asset value per share of a Portfolio share held in the Subaccount determined as of the end of the immediately preceding valuation period; and

 

  (c) is a factor representing the charges deducted from the Subaccount on a daily basis for Annual Separate Account Expenses.

Transfers Among Variable Investment Options

Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, you may transfer amounts among the Variable Investment Options, subject to the frequent trading restrictions set forth below.

You may make a transfer by providing written notice to us, by telephone or by other electronic means that we may provide through the Internet (see “Telephone and Electronic Transactions,” below). We will cancel accumulation units from the Variable Investment Option from which you transfer amounts and we will credit accumulation units to the Variable Investment Option to which you transfer amounts. Your Contract Value on the date of the transfer will not be affected by a transfer. You must transfer at least $300 or, if less, the entire value of the Variable Investment Option. If after the transfer the amount remaining in the Variable Investment Option is less than $100, then we may transfer the entire amount instead of the requested amount.

The first twelve transfers in a Contract Year are free of any transfer charge. For each additional transfer in a Contract Year, we do not currently assess a charge but we reserve the right (to the extent permitted by your Contract) to assess a reasonable charge (not to exceed the lesser of $25 or 2% of the amount transferred) to reimburse us for the expenses of processing transfers.

Frequent Transfer Restrictions. Variable Investment Options in variable annuity and variable life insurance products can be a target for abusive transfer activity because these products value their investment options on a daily basis and allow transfers among

Table of Contents

investment options without immediate tax consequences. As a result, some investors may seek to frequently transfer into and out of Variable Investment Options in reaction to market news or to exploit some perceived pricing inefficiency. Whatever the reason, frequent transfer activity can harm long-term investors in a Variable Investment Option since such activity may expose a Variable Investment Option’s underlying Portfolio to increased Portfolio transaction costs and/or disrupt the Portfolio manager’s ability to effectively manage a Portfolio in accordance with its investment objective and policies, both of which may result in dilution with respect to interests held for long-term investment.

To discourage disruptive frequent trading activity, we have adopted a policy for each Separate Account to restrict transfers to two per calendar month per Contract, with certain exceptions, and have established procedures to count the number of transfers made under a Contract. Under the current procedures of the Separate Accounts, we count all transfers made during each Business Day as a single transfer. We do not count: (a) scheduled transfers made pursuant to our Asset Rebalancing program, (b) transfers made within a prescribed period before and after a substitution of underlying Portfolios, and (c) transfers made after the Annuity Commencement Date (these transfers are subject to a 30-day notice requirement, however, as described in “Annuitization Provisions -Transfers after Annuity Commencement Date”). We apply each Separate Account’s policy and procedures uniformly to all Contract Owners.

We reserve the right to take other actions to restrict trading, including, but not limited to:

 

   

restricting the number of transfers made during a defined period;

 

   

restricting the dollar amount of transfers;

 

   

restricting the method used to submit transfers (e.g., requiring transfer requests to be submitted in writing via U.S. mail); and

 

   

restricting transfers into and out of certain Subaccount(s).

In addition, we reserve the right to defer a transfer at any time we are unable to purchase or redeem shares of the Portfolios (see “Withdrawals” in this section, below, for details on when suspensions of redemptions may be permissible). We also reserve the right to modify or terminate the transfer privilege at any time (to the extent permitted by applicable law).

In addition to the transfer restrictions that we impose, the John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust also has adopted policies under Rule 22c-2 of the 1940 Act to detect and deter abusive short-term trading. Accordingly, a Portfolio may require us to impose trading restrictions if it discovers violations of its frequent short-term trading policy. We will provide tax identification numbers and other Contract Owner transaction information to John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust upon request, which it may use to identify any pattern or frequency of activity that violates its short-term trading policy.

While we seek to identify and prevent disruptive frequent trading activity, it is not always possible to do so. Therefore, we cannot provide assurance that the restrictions we impose will be successful in restricting disruptive frequent trading activity and avoiding harm to long-term investors.

We currently do not limit the number of Variable Investment Options to which you may allocate the Purchase Payment.

Telephone and Electronic Transactions

We permit you to request transfers automatically by telephone. You can also apply to request withdrawals automatically by telephone. We also encourage you to access information about your Contract, request transfers and perform some transactions electronically through the Internet. Please contact the John Hancock Annuities Service Center at the applicable telephone number or Internet address shown on the first page of this Prospectus for more information on electronic transactions.

To access information and perform electronic transactions through our website, we require you to create an account with a username and password, and to maintain a valid e-mail address. You may also authorize other people to make certain transaction requests by telephone by sending us instructions in a form acceptable to us. If you register for electronic delivery, we keep your personal information confidential and secure, and we do not share this information with outside marketing agencies.

We will not be liable for following instructions communicated by telephone or electronically that we reasonably believe to be genuine. We will employ reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions we receive are genuine. Our procedures require you to provide information to verify your identity when you call us and we will record all conversations with you. When someone contacts us by telephone and follows our procedures, we will assume that you are authorizing us to act upon those instructions. For electronic transactions through the Internet, you will need to provide your username and password. You are responsible for keeping your password confidential and must notify us of:

 

   

any loss or theft of your password; or

 

   

any unauthorized use of your password.

We may be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions only where we fail to employ our procedures properly.

All transaction instructions we receive by telephone or electronically will be followed by either a hardcopy or electronic delivery of a transaction confirmation. Transaction instructions we receive by telephone or electronically before the close of any Business Day will usually be effective at the end of that day. Your ability to access or transact business electronically may be limited due to circumstances beyond our control, such as system outages, or during periods when our telephone lines or our website may be busy. We may, for example, experience unusual volume during periods of substantial market change.

We may suspend, modify or terminate our telephone or electronic transaction procedures at any time. We may, for example, impose limits on the maximum Withdrawal Amount available to you through a telephone transaction. Also, as stated earlier in this Prospectus, we have imposed restrictions on transfers and reserve the right to take other actions to restrict trading, including the right to restrict the method used to submit transfers (e.g., by requiring transfer requests to be submitted in writing via U.S. mail). We also reserve the right to suspend or terminate the transfer privilege altogether with respect to anyone who we feel is abusing the privilege to the detriment of others.

Special Transfer Services – Asset Rebalancing Program

We administer an Asset Rebalancing program which enables you to specify the allocation percentage levels you would like to maintain in particular Variable Investment Options. We will automatically rebalance your Contract Value pursuant to the schedule described below to maintain the indicated percentages by transfers among the Variable Investment Options. You must include your entire value in the Variable Investment Options in the Asset Rebalancing program. Other investment programs or other transfers or withdrawals may not work in concert with the Asset Rebalancing program. Therefore, you should monitor your use of these other programs and any other transfers or withdrawals while the Asset Rebalancing program is being used. If you are interested in the Asset Rebalancing program, you may obtain a separate authorization form and full information concerning the program and its restrictions from your financial advisor or our Annuities Service Center. There is no charge for participation in the Asset Rebalancing program.

We will permit asset rebalancing only on the following time schedules:

 

   

quarterly on the 25th day of the last month of the calendar quarter (or the next Business Day if the 25th is not a Business Day);

 

   

semi-annually on June 25th and December 26th (or the next Business Day if these dates are not Business Days); or

 

   

annually on December 26th (or the next Business Day if December 26th is not a Business Day).

 

You should consult with your financial advisor to assist you in determining whether the Asset Rebalancing program is suited for your financial needs and investment risk tolerance, and in determining appropriate percentages for each Investment Option you select.

Withdrawals

During the Accumulation Period, you may withdraw all or a portion of your Contract Value upon written request (complete with all necessary information) to our Annuities Service Center. You may make withdrawals by telephone as described above under “Telephone and Electronic Transactions.” For certain Contracts, exercise of the withdrawal right may require the consent of the Annuitant’s Spouse under the Code. In the case of a total withdrawal, we will pay the Contract Value as of the date of receipt of the request in Good Order, at our Annuities Service Center, minus any applicable administrative fee or tax. We will then cancel the Contract. In the case of a total withdrawal, we will pay the amount requested, reduced by any applicable administrative fee or amount withheld for taxes, and cancel accumulation units credited to each Variable Investment Option equal in value to the Withdrawal Amount from that Variable Investment Option.

When making a withdrawal, you may specify the Variable Investment Options from which the withdrawal is to be made. The Withdrawal Amount requested from a Variable Investment Option may not exceed the value of that Variable Investment Option. If you do not specify the Variable Investment Options from which a withdrawal is to be taken, we will take the withdrawal proportionally from all of your Variable Investment Options. There is no limit on the frequency of withdrawals.

We will pay the amount of any withdrawal from the Variable Investment Options promptly, and in any event within seven days of receipt of the request, complete with all necessary information, at our Annuities Service Center. We reserve the right to defer the right of withdrawal or postpone payments for any period when:

 

   

the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend and holiday closings);

 

   

trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted;

 

   

an emergency exists as determined by the SEC, as a result of which disposal of securities held in the Separate Accounts is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable to determine the value of the Separate Accounts’ net assets; or

 

   

the SEC, by order, so permits for the protection of security holders.

Applicable rules and regulations of the SEC shall govern as to whether trading is restricted or an emergency exists.

Impact of Divorce. In the event that you and your Spouse become divorced, we will treat any request to reduce or divide benefits under a Contract as a request for a withdrawal of Contract Value. The transaction may be subject to any applicable tax.

Tax Considerations. Withdrawals from the Contract may be subject to income tax and a 10% penalty tax (see “VII. Federal Tax Matters”).

Signature Guarantee Requirements for Surrenders and Withdrawals

(Not applicable to Contracts issued in New Jersey)

We may require that you provide a signature guarantee on a surrender or withdrawal request in the following circumstances:

 

   

you are requesting that we mail the amount withdrawn to an alternate address; or

 

   

you have changed your address within 30 days of the withdrawal request; or

 

   

you are requesting a withdrawal in the amount of $250,000 or greater.

We must receive the original signature guarantee on your withdrawal request. We will not accept copies or faxes of a signature guarantee. You may obtain a signature guarantee at most banks, financial institutions or credit unions. A notarized signature is not the same as a signature guarantee and will not satisfy this requirement. There may be circumstances, of which we are not presently aware, in which we would not impose a signature guarantee on a surrender or withdrawal as described above.

Special Withdrawal Services – The Income Made Easy Program

Our Income Made Easy program provides you with an automatic way to access guaranteed withdrawal amounts. There is no charge for participation in this program. For more information please read “Pre-Authorized Withdrawals – The Income Made Easy Program” in the “GIFL Select Guaranteed Lifetime Income Withdrawal Benefit” section below.

GIFL Select Guaranteed Lifetime Income Withdrawal Benefit

Overview

The Contract permits you to take withdrawals of any amount of Contract Value before the Annuity Commencement Date. We designed the GIFL Select feature of the Contract to provide a guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit after you satisfy holding period and age requirements. The GIFL Select feature provides a Lifetime Income Amount, which is available for annual withdrawals starting on a Lifetime Income Date. We may reduce the Lifetime Income Amount, however, if you take any withdrawal before the Lifetime Income Date, or if you withdraw amounts that exceed the Lifetime Income Amount in any year after the Lifetime Income Date. We refer to these types of withdrawals as Excess Withdrawals.

If you limit your annual withdrawals to the Lifetime Income Amount, we guarantee that we will make the Lifetime Income Amount available to you, as long as you are the Annuitant under the Contract. You may elect, in most cases, to cover the lifetimes of you and your Spouse by selecting a Spousal Lifetime Income Amount benefit. Under the Spousal Lifetime Income Amount benefit, we guarantee that we will make the Lifetime Income Amount available as long as you (the “Annuitant”) or your Spouse (the “co-Annuitant”) remains alive. The Spousal Lifetime Income Amount benefit will end if there is a change in the Contract that removes the co-Annuitant from coverage and the Annuitant subsequently dies.

We determine a Benefit Base for the Lifetime Income Amount when you first purchase a Contract. We may decrease the Benefit Base to reflect any Excess Withdrawals. We may increase the Benefit Base to reflect one or more annual Benefit Enhancements for which you qualify, and we may also increase the Benefit Base by a one-time Step-Up to reflect investment gains, if any, on the Contract Anniversary before you “establish” the Lifetime Income Amount. The Benefit Base has no cash value and usually will differ from the amount of Contract Value. The maximum Benefit Base is $5 million.

We calculate the Lifetime Income Amount as a percentage of the Benefit Base applicable to your Contract. The percentage we use depends on the form of Lifetime Income Amount applicable to your Contract. The percentage ranges from 4% (Single Life Lifetime Income Amount established before the Age 65 Trigger) to 4.5% (Spousal Lifetime Income Amount) to 5% (Single Life Lifetime Income Amount established on or after the Age 65 Trigger). We use the rate at which you established a guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit under a GIFL Select Retirement Plan if you received distributions under the Plan and will continue to take distributions under a Contract. In that event, we will use the rate applicable to your GIFL Select Retirement Plan account. Please refer to “Determination of a Single Life, Continuation Single Life or Spousal Lifetime Income Amount,” below, for more information about the applicable rate.

Impact of Withdrawals before the Lifetime Income Date

With limited exceptions, any withdrawal before the Lifetime Income Date is an Excess Withdrawal. This means that we will reduce the Benefit Base. We do this on a pro rata basis or a dollar for dollar basis, whichever has the greater impact on the Benefit Base. If we use the pro rata basis, we reduce the Benefit Base in the same proportion that your Contract Value is reduced as a result of that withdrawal.

EXAMPLE 1 (Pro Rata Reduction):

Assume that you purchase a Contract through an IRA Rollover when you are 45. (Since you have not reached your Age 59 1/2 Trigger at time of purchase, the earliest Lifetime Income Date will not occur until your Age 59 1/2 Trigger.) Now assume that in the eighth Contract Year, when you are 53, the Contract Value is $90,000, the Benefit Base is $100,000 and you withdraw $5,000 of Contract

 

24


Table of Contents

Value. In this case, you would reduce your Contract Value by 5.56% (i.e., $5,000/$90,000) and we would reduce your Benefit Base by the same percentage (on a pro rata basis, since $100,000 times 0.0556, or $5,556 is greater than $5,000). The Benefit Base after the Excess Withdrawal would be $100,000 minus $5,556, or $94,444.

EXAMPLE 2 (Dollar for Dollar Reduction):

Assume that you purchase a Contract through an IRA Rollover when you are 45. (Since you have not reached your Age 59 1/2 Trigger at time of purchase, the earliest Lifetime Income Date will not occur until your Age 59 1/2 Trigger.) Now assume that in the eighth Contract Year, when you are 53, the Contract Value is $110,000, the Benefit Base is $100,000 and you withdraw $5,000 of Contract Value. In this case, you would reduce your Contract Value by 4.55% (i.e., $5,000/$110,000) and we would reduce your Benefit Base by $5,000 (on a dollar for dollar basis, since $5,000 is greater than $100,000 times 0.0455, which equals $4,545). The Benefit Base after the Excess Withdrawal would be $100,000 minus $5,000, or $95,000.

 

If you take any withdrawals prior to the earliest available Lifetime Income Date, we reduce the Benefit Base we use to determine the guaranteed Lifetime Income Amount. If your Contract Value and your Benefit Base decline to zero before that Lifetime Income Date, you will lose the Lifetime Income Amount Guarantee.

Impact of Withdrawals after the Lifetime Income Date

Establishing a Lifetime Income Amount. We calculate the earliest available Lifetime Income Amount on the first day of a Contract Year following your satisfaction of any age and holding period requirements. The Lifetime Income Amount will equal the applicable rate multiplied by the Benefit Base or the Contract Value on the Contract Anniversary, if greater. You will “establish” that Lifetime Income Amount by taking a withdrawal during the immediately following 12 months. If you do not take a withdrawal (or annuitize the Contract) during that Contract Year, we will recalculate the Lifetime Income Amount on the first day of the next Contract Year. This recalculation will reflect: (a) the addition of an annual Benefit Enhancement to the Benefit Base, (b) a reduction in the Contract Value, if any, from the Contract Value that we may have used in the previously calculated Lifetime Income Amount and, possibly, (c) an increase in the Contract Value to reflect investment gains, if any, as of the date of our recalculation. You will “establish” the recalculated Lifetime Income Amount by taking a withdrawal during the Contract Year of our recalculation. We will continue to follow this procedure throughout the Accumulation Period until you take a withdrawal or annuitize the Contract. Once you have established a guaranteed Lifetime Income Amount, we will step up the Benefit Base to the Contract Value (to a maximum Benefit Base of $5 million) if that amount is greater than the Benefit Base. You may withdraw the Lifetime Income Amount each Contract Year without affecting the Benefit Base. Once you establish the Lifetime Income Amount, there will be no additional Benefit Enhancements or Step-Up opportunities.

EXAMPLE 3 (Establishing the Earliest Available Lifetime Income Amount with Step-Up):

Assume that you purchase a Contract through an IRA Rollover when you are 60 and have met the minimum holding period requirement. Your Contract Value at time of rollover is $90,000 and your Benefit Base is $100,000. Since you have reached your Age 59 1/2 Trigger at time of purchase, the earliest available Lifetime Income Date is the date we issue the Contract, and the Single Life Lifetime Income Amount on that date is ($100,000 × 4%), or $4,000. Now assume you defer taking your first withdrawal until the third Contract Year when you want to establish your Single Life Lifetime Income Amount. On the most recent Contract Anniversary, your Benefit Base is $106,090 and Contract Value is $112,000. By electing to take your first withdrawal, the Benefit Base will step up to the Contract Value on the prior Contract Anniversary. Your new Benefit Base is $112,000, which results in a Single Life Lifetime Income Amount of ($112,000 × 4%), or $4,480.

Loss of Step-Up. If you do not “establish” a previously determined Lifetime Income Amount, the recalculated Lifetime Income Amount will not include the Step-Up, if any, from a previously determined Lifetime Income Amount.

EXAMPLE 4 (Loss of Step-Up in a newly calculated Lifetime Income Amount):

Using the same Rollover scenario above, assume that you defer taking a withdrawal until the fourth Contract Year when you want to establish your Single Life Lifetime Income Amount. On the Contract Anniversary prior to taking a withdrawal, the Benefit Base is $109,273 and Contract Value is $107,000. By electing to take your first withdrawal, the Benefit Base will not step up because it is already greater than the Contract Value on the prior Contract Anniversary. Your Benefit Base of $109,273 will be used to calculate the Single Life Lifetime Income Amount of ($109,273 × 4%), or $4,371.

Please refer to “Increases in the GIFL Select Feature” for more information and examples of the Benefit Enhancement. Please refer to “Determination of the Lifetime Income Date” for more information about age and holding period requirements for the earliest available Lifetime Income Date.

Excess Withdrawals. Each time you take a withdrawal after the Lifetime Income Date, we first determine whether the withdrawal amount is an Excess Withdrawal (i.e., a withdrawal that exceeds the Lifetime Income Amount when combined with any other withdrawals for that Contract Year). If so, we will reduce the Benefit Base on the greater of a pro rata basis or a dollar for dollar basis. If we use the pro rata basis, we reduce your Benefit Base in the same proportion that your Contract Value has been reduced by the entire amount of the withdrawal that resulted in an Excess Withdrawal. If we use the dollar for dollar basis, we reduce the Benefit

 

25


Table of Contents

Base by the entire amount of the withdrawal that resulted in an Excess Withdrawal. In either case, each time we reduce the Benefit Base, we will also reduce your Lifetime Income Amount. The reduced Lifetime Income Amount will equal:

 

   

(for Single Life Lifetime Income Amounts) 4% or 5% of the new Benefit Base based on the Annuitant’s age when the Lifetime Income Amount was established; or

 

   

(for Spousal Lifetime Income Amounts) 4.50% of the new Benefit Base.

We calculate the reduced Lifetime Income Amount for a Continuation Single Life Lifetime Income Amounts by using the rate that was in effect when we issued your Contract. Please refer to “Determination of a Single Life, Continuation Single Life or Spousal Lifetime Income Amount,” below, for more information about the applicable rate.

In all cases, we reduce the Benefit Base and the Lifetime Income Amount for each subsequent Excess Withdrawal that you take during that Contract Year.

EXAMPLE 5 (Pro Rata Reduction):

Assume that you purchase a Contract through an IRA Rollover when you are 61 and have met the minimum holding period requirements. Your Contract Value at time of rollover is $90,000 and your Benefit Base is $100,000. Since you have reached your Age 59 1/2 Trigger at time of purchase, the earliest available Lifetime Income Date is the date we issue the Contract, and the Single Life Lifetime Income Amount on that date is ($100,000 × 4%), or $4,000. Now assume that you make a single withdrawal of $10,000 of Contract Value 6 months after we issue the Contact. In this case, you would reduce your Contract Value by 11.11% (i.e., $10,000/$90,000). We would reduce your Benefit Base by $11,111 (on a pro rata basis, since $100,000 times 0.111, or $11,111 is greater than $10,000). The Benefit Base after the Excess Withdrawal would be $100,000 minus $11,111, or $88,889. The Lifetime Income Amount would also be reduced for future Contract Years from $4,000 to $3,556 (i.e., $88,889 × 4%).

EXAMPLE 6 (Dollar for Dollar Reduction):

Assume that you purchase a Contract through an IRA Rollover when you and your Spouse are 62. (Since you are both under age 65 at time of purchase, the earliest Lifetime Income Date will not occur until your Age 65 Trigger.) In the fourth Contract Year and after you have turned on your Spousal Lifetime Income Amount at $4,500 ($100,000 × 4.50%), the Contract Value is $110,000 and the Benefit Base is $100,000. You make an initial withdrawal of $4,000 (less than the Lifetime Income Amount) which reduces the Contract Value to $106,000 while the Benefit Base remains unchanged at $100,000. Later, during the same Contract Year, you make another withdrawal of $6,000. In this case, you would reduce your Contract Value by 5.66% (i.e., $6,000/$106,000). We would reduce your Benefit Base by $6,000 (on a dollar for dollar basis, since $6,000 is greater than $100,000 times 0.0566, which equals $5,660). The Benefit Base after the Excess Withdrawal would be $100,000 minus $6,000, or $94,000. The Lifetime Income Amount would also be reduced for future Contract Years from $4,500 to $4,230 (i.e., $94,000 × 4.50%).

Excess Withdrawals, with limited exceptions, lower the Lifetime Income Amount guaranteed for future withdrawals. If you have experienced unfavorable investment performance (and therefore your Contract Value is less than your Benefit Base) the reduction could be significantly more than the amount of the Excess Withdrawal.

We do not reduce the Benefit Base and/or the Lifetime Income Amount:

 

   

if the withdrawals are taken under our Life Expectancy Distribution program, or

 

   

if your total Withdrawal Amounts during any Contract Year after the Lifetime Income Date are less than or equal to the Lifetime Income Amount.

The Contract enters a “Settlement Phase” in any Contract Year that your Contract Value declines to less than the Lifetime Income Amount if you have taken no Excess Withdrawals during that Contract Year (see “Settlement Phase” below). In the event of an Excess Withdrawal, you will lose the GIFL Select benefit if Contract Value declines below the Lifetime Income Amount during the Contract Year of the Excess Withdrawal. The GIFL Select benefit terminates if the Contract Value and Benefit Base immediately after a withdrawal are both equal to zero.

We reduce your Contract Value (and the death proceeds) each time you take a withdrawal. We do not change your Benefit Base or Lifetime Income Amount when you make a withdrawal if your total withdrawals during a Contract Year are less than or equal to the Lifetime Income Amount.

Increases in the GIFL Select Feature

In addition to a one-time Step-Up opportunity, the GIFL Select feature of the Contract provides two other ways that have the potential to increase a Lifetime Income Amount: banded rates applicable to Single Life Lifetime Income Amounts and annual Benefit Enhancements. Please refer to “Establishing a Lifetime Income Amount,” above, for more information about the Step-Up opportunity.

Banded Single Life Rates. If you are eligible for a Single Life Lifetime Income Amount, you may have an opportunity to increase the Lifetime Income Amount by deferring withdrawals after your Age 59 1/2 Trigger until you have reached your Age 65 Trigger. That’s because we calculate the Lifetime Income Amount before age 65 as an amount equal to 4% of the Benefit Base, and will increase the

 

26


Table of Contents

rate to 5% if you take no withdrawals of a Lifetime Income Amount until age 65. If you are under age 65, and take a withdrawal at any time after the earliest available Lifetime Income Date, you will establish a Lifetime Income Amount, based on a 4% rate and lose the opportunity to establish a Lifetime Income Amount based on a 5% rate.

EXAMPLE 7 (4% Single Life Lifetime Income Amount):

Assume you purchase a Contract through an IRA Rollover when you are 60 and have met the minimum holding period requirements. Your Contract Value at time of rollover is $90,000 and your Benefit Base is $100,000. Since you have reached your Age 59 1/2 Trigger, your Lifetime Income Date is the date we issue the Contract, and the Single Life Lifetime Income Amount on that date is ($100,000 × 4%), or $4,000. You elect to take a withdrawal during that first contract year and start receiving the Lifetime Income Amount. You are not eligible for the 5% Single Life Lifetime Income Amount because you have taken your first withdrawal prior to reaching your Age 65 Trigger.

EXAMPLE 8 (5% Single Life Lifetime Income Amount):

Using the same Rollover scenario above, assume that you defer taking a withdrawal until the fifth Contract Year and you have reached your Age 65 Trigger. The Benefit Base on the most recent Contract Anniversary is $116,000 and your Single Life Lifetime Income Amount, should you take a withdrawal during that Contract Year, is ($116,000 × 5%), or $5,800.

Banded Single Life Rates do not necessarily result in a higher Lifetime Income Amount. Please see EXAMPLE 9, below, for information about the impact of a Step-Up on the Benefit Base.

We do not permit you to defer withdrawals in order to qualify for a 5% rate if you established a Spousal Lifetime Income Amount or if we issue a Contract with a Continuation Single Life Lifetime Income Amount.

Impact of Step-Up on Banded Rates. If you do not establish a previously determined Lifetime Income Amount for a Single Life Lifetime Income Amount, you may become eligible for a higher rate but may lose the advantage of a previously available Step-Up.

EXAMPLE 9 (Loss of Step-Up in a newly calculated Lifetime Income Amount with a higher rate):

Assume that you purchase a Contract through an IRA Rollover when you are 59 and have met the minimum holding period requirement. At the time of rollover your Contract Value and Benefit Base are $100,000. Assume that on the Contract Anniversary after turning 63 years of age your Contract Value is $150,000 and the Benefit Base is $112,551. The eligible Single Life Lifetime Income Amount during that Contract Year is $6,000 ($150,000 × 4%). However, you elect to defer withdrawals another year and on your Age 65 Trigger the Contract Value is $110,000 and the Benefit Base is $115,927. You elect to take your first withdrawal, which results in a Single Life Lifetime Income Amount of $5,796 ($115,927 × 5%).

Benefit Enhancements. On each Contract Anniversary during the Accumulation Phase and prior to you establishing a Lifetime Income Amount, we will add a Benefit Enhancement to the Benefit Base (up to a maximum Benefit Base of $5 million) if you have taken no withdrawals or annuitized the Contract during the immediately preceding Contract Year. The Benefit Enhancement is equal to 3% of the Benefit Base in effect at the end of that immediately preceding Contract Year. If you do not qualify for a Benefit Enhancement for a particular Contract Year, you may qualify for a Benefit Enhancement in other Contract Years if you defer: (a) taking withdrawals, (b) establishing a Lifetime Income Amount or (c) annuitizing the Contract in the other Contract Years. Benefit Enhancements have no cash value and will not affect the Contract Value.

EXAMPLE 10 (Benefit Enhancements):

Assume you purchase a Contract through an IRA Rollover when you are 60, you take no withdrawals during the first and second Contract Year and the Benefit Enhancement is 3%. Also assume that the initial Benefit Base is $100,000 and is not exceeded by Contract Value (a Step-Up does not occur).

 

   

At the end of the first Contract Year, we will apply the Benefit Enhancement to the Benefit Base and increase it to $103,000 ($100,000 + 3% × $100,000).

 

   

At the end of the second Contract Year, we will apply the Benefit Enhancement to the Benefit Base and increase it again to $106,090 ($103,000 + 3% × $103,000).

Now assume an Excess Withdrawal is taken in the third Contract Year that reduces the Benefit Base to $98,000 and no additional withdrawals are taken in the fourth Contract Year.

 

   

At the end of the third Contract Year, there is no Benefit Enhancement because you took a withdrawal during the year.

 

   

At the end of the fourth Contract Year, we will apply the Benefit Enhancement to the Benefit Base. The Benefit Enhancement will be based on the reduced Benefit Base. The Benefit Base will increase to $100,940 ($98,000 + 3% × 98,000).

Since the GIFL Select fee is a percentage of the Benefit Base, we will increase the amount of the GIFL Select fee after a Benefit Enhancement to reflect the new Benefit Base. (See “VI. Charges and Deductions – GIFL Select Fee”).

Determination of the Lifetime Income Date

Single Life Lifetime Income Amounts. Under a Single Life form of Lifetime Income Amount, the earliest available Lifetime Income Date is the date we issue your Contract if:

 

   

you, the Annuitant, will be at least age 59 1/2 at any time during the first Contract Year; and

 

   

you were a participant in your employer’s GIFL Select Retirement Plan and completed a 5 year “holding period” requirement for the guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit we provided for your account in that plan.

In this case, the date we issue your Contract will be the Age 59 1/2 Trigger, or the Age 65 Trigger if you will be at least age 65 at any time during the first Contract Year.

In all other cases, the earliest available Lifetime Income Date for a Single Life form of Lifetime Income Amount is the first day of a Contract Year in which:

 

   

you, the Annuitant, will have reached your Age 59 1/2 Trigger; and

 

   

you have already completed a “holding period” of no more than 5 years. We will transfer credit for the holding period from your (or your decedent Spouse’s) account with an employer’s GIFL Select Retirement Plan.

Continuation Single Life Lifetime Income Amounts. The earliest available Lifetime Income Date for a Continuation Single Life form of Lifetime Income amount is the date we issue your Contract.

Spousal Lifetime Income Amount. Under a Spousal Lifetime Income Amount, the earliest available Lifetime Income Date is the date we issue your Contract if:

 

   

you, the Annuitant, and your Spouse, the co-Annuitant, will both be at least age 65 at any time during the first Contract Year; and

 

   

you were a participant in your employer’s GIFL Select Retirement Plan and completed the holding period requirement for the guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit we provided for your account.

In this case, the date we issue your Contract will be the Age 65 Trigger.

In all other cases, the earliest available Lifetime Income Date for a Spousal Lifetime Income Amount is the first day of a Contract Year in which:

 

   

you, the Annuitant, and your Spouse, the co-Annuitant, will both reach your Age 65 Trigger; and

 

   

you have already completed a “holding period” of no more than 5 years. We will transfer credit for the holding period from your (or your decedent Spouse’s) account with your employer’s GIFL Select Retirement Plan.

Determination of a Single Life, Continuation Single Life or Spousal Lifetime Income Amount

Single Life. You are eligible to select a Single Life Lifetime Income Amount if:

 

   

you are the Annuitant under the Contract and we did not make any payments under your employer’s GIFL Select Retirement Plan to you or to any current, former or decedent Spouse of yours that was covered by our Spousal lifetime income guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit; or

 

   

you are the Annuitant under the Contract, and the Spouse of a deceased participant under a GIFL Select Retirement Plan and neither you nor the deceased participant established a lifetime income guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit under the plan before the death of the participant; or

 

   

you are the Annuitant under the Contract; and

 

  ¡    

you had established an account in your GIFL Select Retirement Plan that was covered by a Spousal guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit; and

 

  ¡    

you subsequently split and changed it to two “single life” accounts in connection with a divorce or a legal separation; and

 

  ¡    

you do not include your Spouse as a “co-Annuitant” in the Contract you purchase.

You will establish a Single Life Lifetime Income Amount based on 4% of the Benefit Base if:

 

   

you take your first withdrawal after the earliest available Lifetime Income Date; and

 

   

you take such withdrawal during a Contract Year when you, the Annuitant, will have reached your Age 59 1/2 Trigger, but will not have reached your Age 65 Trigger.

If you establish a Single Life Lifetime Income amount based on 4% of the Benefit Base, you will not be eligible for a Single Life Lifetime Income Amount based on 5% of the Benefit Base.

You will establish a Single Life Lifetime Income Amount based on 5% of the Benefit Base if:

 

   

you take your first withdrawal after the earliest available Lifetime Income Date; and

 

   

you take such withdrawal during a Contract Year when you, the Annuitant, will have reached your Age 65 Trigger.

Table of Contents

Continuation Single Life. We will issue a Contract with a Continuation Single Life Lifetime Income Amount if you are the Annuitant under the Contract and either:

 

   

(CASE ONE) you are a former participant in a GIFL Select Retirement Plan and were receiving distributions from a GIFL Select Retirement Plan account that was covered by a single life guarantee; or

 

   

(CASE TWO) you are a former participant in a GIFL Select Retirement Plan, you were receiving distributions a GIFL Select Retirement Plan account that was covered by a Spousal guarantee, and your Spouse has died; or

 

   

(CASE THREE) you are the surviving Spouse of a participant in a GIFL Select Retirement Plan and the beneficiary of a GIFL Select Retirement Plan account that was covered by a Spousal guarantee.

In CASE ONE, we will issue a Contract with a Lifetime Income Amount based on the rate in effect for the guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit that you established under the GIFL Select Retirement Plan. We will calculate the Lifetime Income Amount based on 4% of the Benefit Base if you commenced receiving distributions under the plan before your Age 65 Trigger. We will calculate a Lifetime Income Amount based on 5% of the Benefit Base if you commenced receiving distributions under the plan on and after your Age 65 Trigger.

In CASE TWO and in CASE THREE, we will issue a Contract with a Lifetime Income Amount based on 4.5% of the Benefit Base.

Spousal Life. You can select a Spousal Lifetime Income Amount if:

 

   

you are the Annuitant under the Contract; and

 

   

your Spouse is the co-Annuitant under the Contract; and

 

   

you did not establish a single-life guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit in your GIFL Select Retirement Plan.

You will establish a Spousal Lifetime Income Amount based on 4.5% of the Benefit Base if:

 

   

you take your first withdrawal after the earliest available Lifetime Income Date; and

 

   

you and your Spouse have both reached your Age 65 Trigger at the time of such withdrawal; and

 

   

you have named your Spouse as a Co-Annuitant under the Contract; and

 

   

you have completed any forms that we may require for the selection of a Spousal Lifetime Income Amount.

Changing a selection. You can make a selection of a Single Life Lifetime Income Amount or a Spousal Lifetime Income Amount (if you qualify) at any time before you establish the Lifetime Income Amount by contacting the Annuities Service Center and completing any forms that we may require. You can change your designation of a Single Life or Spousal Lifetime Income Amount after the earliest available Lifetime Income Date only if you defer “establishing” a Lifetime Income Amount. You establish a Lifetime Income Amount if you make any withdrawals from the earliest available Lifetime Income Date up to the date of the change in designation. You can change your designation up until the date you take a withdrawal.

 

If you establish a Spousal Lifetime Income Amount on or after your Age 65 Trigger instead of a Single Life Lifetime Income Amount, we will calculate a lower Lifetime Income Amount (4.5% of the Benefit Base).

We may recalculate the Lifetime Income Amount if you change the form of the Lifetime Income Amount from a Single Life to a Spousal form or vice versa.

 

We may decrease the Benefit Base to reflect withdrawals. We may increase the Benefit Base to reflect Benefit Enhancements and a one-time Step-Up to the Contract Value on the Contract Anniversary before the date of the first withdrawal after the Lifetime Income Date if the Benefit Base is less than the Contract Value on that date. Any decrease or increase in the Benefit Base will result in a corresponding decrease or increase in the Lifetime Income Amount.

Tax Considerations

See “VII. Federal Tax Matters” for information on tax considerations related to guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits.

Pre-Authorized Withdrawals – The Income Made Easy Program

You can pre-authorize periodic withdrawals to receive amounts guaranteed under the Contract. We currently offer our Income Made Easy program for Contracts to provide income payments for the lifetime of the Covered Person. The full allowable amount is based on the Lifetime Income Amount. You can start taking withdrawals under the Income Made Easy program no sooner than the earliest available Lifetime Income Date.

The Income Made Easy program allows you to select: (A) the Lifetime Income Amount under your Contract; (B) the full allowable amount plus any amount under our Life Expectancy Distribution program that would exceed the Lifetime Income Amount; (C) the annual amount under our Life Expectancy Distribution program (in lieu of the Lifetime Income Amount); or (D) a specified dollar amount that is less than the Lifetime Income Amount. We may make additional options available in the future or upon request.

 

29


Table of Contents

Your participation in the Income Made Easy program will be suspended (i.e., we will not process any further withdrawals under the Program until you re-enroll) if:

 

   

you select option A or B; and

 

   

you take an additional withdrawal outside the Income Made Easy program in any Contract Year in which the program is in effect.

Income Made Easy withdrawals, like other withdrawals:

 

   

may be subject to income tax (including withholding for taxes) and a penalty for distributions from a Roth IRA, and if you take withdrawals before age 59 1/2, a 10% penalty tax; and

 

   

reduce the death proceeds.

If you are interested in the Income Made Easy program, you may obtain a separate authorization form and full information concerning the program and its restrictions from your financial advisor or our Annuities Service Center. There is no charge for participation in this program.

Life Expectancy Distribution Program

You may request of us in writing, in a form acceptable to us and received at our Annuities Service Center, to pay you withdrawals that we determine to be part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments over your “life expectancy” (or, if applicable, the joint life expectancies of you and your Spouse) . Withdrawals under our Life Expectancy Distribution program are distributions within a calendar year that are intended to be paid to you as required or contemplated by Code sections 408(a)(6) or 408(b)(3) (applicable to traditional IRAs), or section 408A(c)(5) (applicable to Roth IRAs) (we sometimes refer to these as “Qualified Death Benefit Stretch Distributions” or “Required Minimum Distributions”). For further information on such distributions, please see “VII. Federal Tax Matters.”

Each withdrawal under our Life Expectancy Distribution program will reduce death proceeds and your Contract Value. We will not reduce your Benefit Base or Lifetime Income Amount if a withdrawal under the Life Expectancy Distribution program on or after the Lifetime Income Date (for an amount we calculate based on our current understanding and interpretation of federal tax law) causes total withdrawals during a Contract Year to exceed the Lifetime Income Amount and all withdrawals during that year were under our Life Expectancy Distribution program. The Life Expectancy Distribution program ends when certain amounts described in the Contract are depleted to zero. We may make further distributions as part of the Settlement Phase for the Contract.

 

The Life Expectancy Distribution program applicable to GIFL Select IRA Rollover Variable Annuity Contracts does not provide automatic “life expectancy” distributions that are intended to qualify under section 72(t)(2)(A)(iv) of the Code. This Code section contains an exception to a 10% penalty tax applicable to pre-59 1/2 distributions. You should consult with a qualified tax advisor for information about the impact of taxes, including tax penalties that may be applicable to withdrawals before age 59 1/2.

If you are interested in the Life Expectancy Distribution program, you may obtain further information concerning the program and its restrictions from your financial advisor or our Annuities Service Center. There is no charge for participation in this program. To take withdrawals under the Life Expectancy Distribution program, you must participate in the Income Made Easy program (see the preceding section).

Under our Life Expectancy Distribution program, each withdrawal will be in an amount that we determine to be your Contract’s share of all Life Expectancy Distributions, based on information that you provide and our understanding of the Code. We reserve the right to make any changes we deem necessary to comply with the Code and Treasury Department regulations.

 

We base our Life Expectancy Distributions calculations on our understanding and interpretation of the requirements under tax law applicable to Required Minimum Distributions and Qualified Death Benefit Stretch Distributions. You should discuss these matters with a qualified tax advisor.

If you take a withdrawal under our Life Expectancy Distribution program on or after the Lifetime Income Date, we will not make any further withdrawals under that program if the Contract Value reduces to an amount less than the Lifetime Income Amount. In that event, we will make distributions as part of the Contract’s “Settlement Phase,” if the Annuitant (or co-Annuitant under the Spousal Lifetime Income Amount) is living at that time. We designed our Life Expectancy Distribution program to provide minimum lifetime distributions as described or as required under certain sections of the Code. Withdrawals under our automatic Life Expectancy Distribution program will not be treated as Excess Withdrawals and will not reduce the Benefit Base or Lifetime Income Amount.

Settlement Phase

Once you establish a Lifetime Income Amount, we will automatically begin making payments to you under the “Settlement Phase” of the GIFL Select feature if your Contract Value reduces to an amount less than the Lifetime Income Amount and there are no Excess Withdrawals during that Contract Year. During the Settlement Phase, the Contract will continue but all other rights and benefits under

 

30


Table of Contents

the Contract terminate. We will not apply additional Benefit Enhancements, or deduct any charges during the Settlement Phase. You cannot annuitize once the Settlement Phase begins.

There is no Settlement Phase, however, if:

 

   

you take any withdrawal before the earliest available Lifetime Income Date and the Contract Value declines to zero during the Contract Year of the withdrawal; or

 

   

you take a withdrawal on or after the earliest available Lifetime Income Date that is an Excess Withdrawal and the Contract Value declines to an amount less than the Lifetime Income Amount during the Contract Year of the withdrawal.

At the beginning of the Settlement Phase, we may automatically begin paying an annual settlement amount to you. The settlement payment amount varies as follows:

 

   

If the Contract enters the Settlement Phase before the Annuitant has reached his or her Age 59 1/2 Trigger (or Age 65 Trigger for the younger of the Annuitant and co-Annuitant if the Spousal Lifetime Income Amount had been elected), you must wait before taking withdrawals until the Lifetime Income Date, when the Lifetime Income Amount would be calculated. If no withdrawals are made before the Lifetime Income Date, we will begin making annual settlement payments to you following the Lifetime Income Date as long as the Annuitant is living (or as long as either the Annuitant or co-Annuitant is living under the Spousal Lifetime Income Amount). In this case, the annual amount will equal the applicable Lifetime Income Amount, which would be either 4% of the Benefit Base on the Lifetime Income Date (if the Annuitant has reached his or her Age 59 1/2 Trigger before the first withdrawal but has not reached his or her Age 65 Trigger), 5% of the Benefit Base on the Lifetime Income Date (if the Annuitant has reached his or her Age 65 Trigger before the first withdrawal) or 4.5% of the Benefit Base on the Lifetime Income Date (if the younger of the Annuitant and co-Annuitant has reached his or her Age 65 Trigger if the Spousal Lifetime Income Amount had been elected).

 

   

If the Contract enters the Settlement Phase before the Annuitant has reached his or her Age 59 1/2 Trigger (or Age 65 Trigger for the younger of the Annuitant and co-Annuitant if the Spousal Lifetime Income Amount is elected) and you decide to take withdrawals prior to the Lifetime Income Date, you will receive an annual amount equal to the applicable Lifetime Income Amount as stated above multiplied by the current Benefit Base until the Benefit Base is depleted.

 

   

In lieu of annual payments of the settlement amount, we will permit you to elect monthly, quarterly or semi-annual installment payments of the Lifetime Income Amount.

Distribution at Death of Annuitant

The Contracts described in this Prospectus provide for the distribution of the Contract Value and termination of the GIFL Select feature if the Annuitant/Owner dies before the earlier of the Annuity Commencement Date or the Maturity Date. If the deceased Annuitant’s Spouse is the sole Beneficiary, he or she may continue the Contract as the new Owner without a distribution of Contract Value. In that event, the Spouse will become the Owner and Annuitant of the Contract, but the GIFL Select feature will end for any Single Life Lifetime Income Amount (if established) or for any Continuation Single Life Lifetime Income Amount. The GIFL Select feature for a Spousal Lifetime Income Amount also ends unless you established the Spousal Lifetime Income Amount prior to the Annuitant’s death.

In all other cases, distribution of the entire interest in the Contract must be made within five years of the Annuitant’s death or, alternatively, distribution may be made as an annuity, under one of the Annuity Options, which begins within one year after the Annuitant’s death and is payable over the life of the Beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the Beneficiary (see “Annuity Options” below). Note: we continue to assess the mortality and expense risks charge during this period, even in some cases in which we bear only the expense risk and not any mortality risk (see “VI. Charges and Deductions – Mortality and Expense Risks Fee”). If distribution is not made within five years and the Beneficiary has not specified an Annuity Option, we will distribute a lump sum cash payment of the Beneficiary’s portion of the death proceeds. Also, if distribution is not made as an annuity, upon the death of the Beneficiary, any remaining death proceeds will equal the Contract Value and must be distributed immediately in a single sum cash payment.

Payment of Death Proceeds. The determination of the distribution upon the death of the Annuitant will be made on the date we receive written notice and “proof of death” as well as all required claims forms in Good Order from all Beneficiaries at our Annuities Service Center. No one is entitled to payment of the death proceeds under the Contract until this time. Proof of death occurs when we receive one of the following at our Annuities Service Center:

 

   

a certified copy of a death certificate; or

 

   

a certified copy of a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as to the finding of death; or

 

   

any other proof satisfactory to us.

Distribution of Death Proceeds. Tax law requirements applicable to Qualified Plans, including IRAs, and the tax treatment of amounts held and distributed under such plans, are quite complex. Accordingly, you should seek competent legal and tax advice regarding requirements governing the distribution of Contract values, including death proceeds, under the plan.

 

31


Table of Contents

In designating Beneficiaries you may impose restrictions on the timing and manner of payment of death proceeds. The description of the distribution upon the death of the Annuitant in this Prospectus does not reflect any of the restrictions that could be imposed, and it should be understood as describing what will happen if the Contract Owner chooses not to restrict such a distribution under the Contract. If the Contract Owner imposes restrictions, those restrictions will govern payment of the death proceeds to the extent permitted by the Code and by Treasury Department regulations.

Upon request, the death proceeds may be taken in the form of a lump sum. In that case, we will pay the death proceeds within seven days of the date that we determine the amount of the death proceeds, subject to postponement under the same circumstances for which payment of withdrawals may be postponed (see “Withdrawals” above). Beneficiaries who opt for a lump sum payout of their portion of the death proceeds may choose to receive the funds either in a single check or wire transfer or in a John Hancock Safe Access Account (“JHSAA”). Similar to a checking account, the JHSAA provides the Beneficiary access to the payout via a checkbook, and the account earns interest at a variable interest rate. Any interest paid may be taxable. The Beneficiary can obtain the remaining death proceeds in a single sum at any time by cashing one check for the entire amount. Note, however, that a JHSAA is not a true checking account, but is solely a means of distributing the death proceeds. The Beneficiary can only make withdrawals, and not deposits. The JHSAA is part of our General Account; it is not a bank account and it is not insured by the FDIC or any other government agency. As part of our General Account, it is subject to the claims of our creditors. We receive a benefit from all amounts left in the JHSAA.

If the Beneficiary does not choose a form of payment, or the death proceeds payable upon the death of an Annuitant are not taken in a lump sum, the Contract will continue, subject to the following:

 

   

The Beneficiary will become the Owner/Annuitant.

 

   

If the deceased Annuitant’s Spouse is the sole Beneficiary (see “Other Contract Provisions – Spouse” below), he or she may continue the Contract as the new Owner/Annuitant without triggering adverse federal tax consequences. In such a case, the distribution rules applicable when an Annuitant dies will apply when the Spouse, as the Annuitant, dies.

 

   

If the Beneficiary is not the deceased Owner’s Spouse , distribution of the entire interest in the Contract must be made within five years of the Annuitant’s death or, alternatively, an individual Beneficiary may take distributions as an annuity under one of the Annuity Options described below, which begins within one year after the Annuitant’s death and is payable over the life of the Beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the Beneficiary (see “Annuity Options” below). Note: we continue to assess the mortality and expense risks charge during this period, even though we bear only the expense risk and not any mortality risk (see “VI. Charges and Deductions – Mortality and Expense Risks Fee”). If distribution is not made within five years and the Beneficiary has not specified one of the above forms of payment, we will distribute a lump sum cash payment of the Beneficiary’s portion of the death proceeds. Also, if distribution is not made as an annuity, upon the death of the Beneficiary, any remaining death proceeds must be distributed immediately in a single sum cash payment.

Death of co-Annuitant under a Spousal Lifetime Income Amount guarantee. If the co-Annuitant is the first to die, no death proceeds are payable under the Contract. The Spousal Lifetime Income Amount guarantee will continue in effect and we will base the duration of the Lifetime Income Amount only on the lifetime of the survivor Annuitant. We will continue to charge the GIFL Select fee.

Death of Last Person. If the survivor Annuitant dies while a Spousal Lifetime Income Amount guarantee is in effect, we will reduce the Lifetime Income Amount to zero and we make no further payments to the Beneficiary.

Death after Removal of Annuitant or co-Annuitant. In certain instances, a Contract may be changed to remove the designation of a person initially designated as an Annuitant or co-Annuitant. If that happens and:

 

   

if the removed person subsequently dies, there will be no impact on the guarantees provided by the GIFL Select feature in most cases; and

 

   

if the remaining designated person subsequently dies, we will consider that person to be the “survivor” of the Annuitant and co-Annuitant and the GIFL Select benefit will terminate.

Death Proceeds during the Settlement Phase. If death occurs during the Settlement Phase, the only death proceeds we provide are the remaining settlement payments that may become due under that GIFL Select benefit:

 

   

(for Single Life and Continuation Single Life Lifetime Income Amount Contracts) If the Annuitant dies during the Settlement Phase, we reduce the Lifetime Income Amount to zero and make no further payments.

 

   

(for Spousal Lifetime Income Amount Contracts) If the first death of either the Annuitant or co-Annuitant occurs during the Settlement Phase, no additional death proceeds are payable under the Contract and, in most instances, we will continue to make settlement payments in the same manner as before the death. If the death occurs before the Lifetime Income Date, we will calculate a Lifetime Income Amount during the Settlement Phase on the Lifetime Income Date. Settlement payments will equal the Lifetime Income Amount.

 

If you die during the Settlement Phase, the only death proceeds we provide are the remaining settlement payments that may become due under the Spousal Lifetime Income Amount guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit.

Annuitization Provisions

General

Annuity payments are available under the Contract on a fixed, variable, or combination fixed and variable basis. Once annuity payments commence:

 

   

you will no longer have access to the Contract Value applied to the Annuity Option;

   

the GIFL Select feature of your Contract terminates; and

   

we may not change the Annuity Option or the form of settlement.

The Contracts contain provisions for the commencement of annuity payments to the Annuitant up to the Contract’s Maturity Date (the “Annuity Commencement Date” is the first day of the Pay-out Period). The current Maturity Date is the date you specify, as shown on your Contract’s specifications page. For John Hancock USA Contracts, there is no limit on when the earliest Annuity Commencement Date may be set. For John Hancock New York Contracts, the earliest allowable Annuity Commencement Date is one year from the Contract Date. If no date is specified, the Annuity Commencement Date is the first day of the month following the later of the 90th birthday of the oldest Annuitant or the tenth Contract Anniversary (“Default Commencement Date”). You may request a different Annuity Commencement Date at any time by written request or by telephone at the number listed on the first page of this Prospectus, at least one month before both the current and new Annuity Commencement Dates. You may also be able to change your Annuity Commencement Date on our website, www.jhannuities.com, if:

 

   

you are registered on the website, and

 

   

your Contract is active, and not owned by a custodian or continued by a surviving Spouse or Beneficiary.

Under our current administrative procedures, the new Annuity Commencement Date may not be later than the Maturity Date unless we consent otherwise. Distributions may be required before the Annuity Commencement Date.

Distributions under the Contracts may be required before the Annuity Commencement Date (see “VII. Federal Tax Matters”). You should consult with a qualified tax advisor for information about potential adverse tax consequences for failure to take distributions.

Notice of Annuity Commencement Date. Under our current administrative procedures, we will send you one or more notices at least 30 days before your scheduled Annuity Commencement Date and request that you verify information we currently have on file. If you do not choose an Annuity Option, do not make a withdrawal of the Surrender Value, or do not ask us to change the Maturity Date, we will provide a variable Annuity Option in the form of a life annuity with payments guaranteed for five years, as described in “Annuity Options” below.

You may select the frequency of annuity payments. However, if the Contract Value at the Annuity Commencement Date is such that a monthly payment would be less than $20, we may pay the Contract Value in one lump sum to the Annuitant on the Annuity Commencement Date.

Annuity Options

If an Annuity Option is not selected, we will provide as a default an Annuity Option in the form of a variable life annuity with payments guaranteed for five years, as described below. We will determine annuity payments based on the value of each Variable Investment Option at the Annuity Commencement Date. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) regulations may preclude the availability of certain Annuity Options in connection with certain Contracts.

Annuity Options offered in the Contract. The Contracts guarantee the availability of the following Annuity Options:

Option 1: Lifetime Income Amount with Cash Refund – This fixed Annuity Option is available only if either the Annuitant or co-Annuitant, not both, remains at the Annuity Commencement Date. Under this option, we will make annuity payments during the lifetime of the Annuitant or co-Annuitant. After the death of the Annuitant or co-Annuitant, we will pay the Beneficiary a lump sum amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Contract Value at the election of this option over the sum of the annuity payments made under this option. The annual amount of the annuity payments will equal the greater of:

 

   

the Lifetime Income Amount on the Annuity Commencement Date, if any; or

 

   

the annual amount that the proceeds of your Contract provides on a guaranteed basis under a life with cash refund annuity.

Option 2: Joint & Survivor Lifetime Income Amount with Cash Refund – This fixed Annuity Option is available if you select the Spousal Lifetime Income Amount guarantee and coverage remains for both the Annuitant and the co-Annuitant at the Annuity Commencement Date. Under this option, we will make annuity payments during the joint lifetime of the Annuitant and co-Annuitant. After the death of the last to survive, we will pay the Beneficiary a lump sum amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Contract Value at the election of this option over the sum of the annuity payments made under this option. The annual amount of the annuity payments will equal the greater of:

 

   

the Lifetime Income Amount on the Annuity Commencement Date, if any, as provided by the Spousal Lifetime Income Amount guarantee, or

 

33


Table of Contents
   

the annual amount that the proceeds of your Contract provides on a guaranteed basis under a joint life with cash refund annuity. (Unlike Option 4, however, we will not continue making payments for the remainder of the 5 year term upon the death of the last of the Annuitant and co-Annuitant to survive. Instead, we will pay a lump sum amount of the excess Contract Value, if any, described in Option 1 above.)

Option 3: Life Annuity with Payments Guaranteed for 5 Years – An annuity with payments guaranteed for 5 years and continuing thereafter during the lifetime of the Annuitant. Because we guarantee payments for 5 years, we will make annuity payments to the end of such period if the Annuitant dies prior to the end of the fifth year.

Option 4: Joint Life Annuity with Payments Guaranteed for 5 Years – An annuity with payments guaranteed for 5 years and continuing thereafter during the lifetime of the Annuitant and a designated co-Annuitant. Because we guarantee payments for the specific number of years, we make annuity payments to the end of the last year of the 5-year period if both the Annuitant and the co-Annuitant die during the 5-year period.

Additional Annuity Options. When you annuitize, we may offer one or more Annuity Options in addition to the ones we are contractually obligated to make available.

 

Once annuity payments begin under an Annuity Option, you will not be able to make any additional guaranteed withdrawals under a GIFL Select feature in a Contract.

Fixed Annuity Options. Upon death of the Owner/Annuitant (subject to the distribution of death proceeds; see “Distribution at Death of Annuitant” above), withdrawal or the Maturity Date of the Contract, the proceeds may be applied to a Fixed Annuity Option.

We determine the amount of each Fixed Annuity payment by applying the portion of the proceeds (minus any applicable premium taxes) applied to purchase the Fixed Annuity to the appropriate rate based on the mortality table and assumed interest rate in the Contract. If the rates we are then using are more favorable to you, we will substitute those rates. If under our current administrative practices we allow you to choose an Annuity Option that is not guaranteed in the Contract, we will use the current rates based on current interest and mortality for other similar options that we are currently offering. We guarantee the dollar amount of Fixed Annuity payments.

We provide no guaranteed withdrawal benefits once payments begin under an Annuity Option.

Determination of Amount of the First Variable Annuity Payment

We determine the first Variable Annuity payment by applying the portion of the proceeds (minus any applicable premium taxes) applied to purchase a Variable Annuity to the rates based on the mortality table and assumed interest rate contained in the Contract. If the table we are currently using is more favorable to you, we will substitute that table. We will determine the amount of the Contract Value as of the date not more than ten Business Days prior to the Annuity Commencement Date. We will reduce Contract Value used to determine annuity payments by any applicable premium taxes.

The longer the life expectancy of the Annuitant under any life Annuity Option or the longer the period for which payments are guaranteed under the option, the smaller the amount of the first monthly Variable Annuity payment will be.

Annuity Units and the Determination of Subsequent Variable Annuity Payments

We will base Variable Annuity payments after the first one on the investment performance of the Variable Investment Options selected after the Annuity Commencement Date. The amount of a subsequent payment is determined by dividing the amount of the first annuity payment from each Variable Investment Option by the Annuity Unit value of that Variable Investment Option (as of the same date the Contract Value to effect the annuity was determined) to establish the number of Annuity Units which will thereafter be used to determine payments. This number of Annuity Units for each Variable Investment Option is then multiplied by the appropriate Annuity Unit value as of a uniformly applied date not more than ten Business Days before the annuity payment is due, and the resulting amounts for each Variable Investment Option are then totaled to arrive at the amount of the annuity payment to be made. The number of Annuity Units generally remains constant (assuming no transfer is made). We will deduct a pro rata portion of the Contracts administration fee from each annuity payment.

We charge the same Annual Separate Account Expenses during the annuitization period as we do prior to the Annuity Commencement Date. We determine the “net investment factor” for an Annuity Unit in the same manner as we determine the net investment factor for an accumulation unit (see “Value of Accumulation Units” and “Net Investment Factor” earlier in this chapter). The value of an Annuity Unit for each Variable Investment Option for any Business Day is determined by multiplying the Annuity Unit value for the immediately preceding Business Day by the net investment factor for the corresponding Subaccount for the valuation period for which the Annuity Unit value is being calculated and by a factor to neutralize the assumed interest rate.

Generally, if the net investment factor is greater than the assumed interest rate, the payment amount will increase. If the net investment factor is less than the assumed interest rate, the payment amount will decrease.

 

34


Table of Contents

We build a 3% assumed interest rate into the rates in the Contract used to determine the first Variable Annuity payment. The smallest annual rate of investment return which is required to be earned on the assets of the Separate Account so that the dollar amount of Variable Annuity payments will not decrease is 3.62%.

Transfers after Annuity Commencement Date

Once Variable Annuity payments have begun, you may transfer all or part of the investment upon which those payments are based from one Variable Investment Option to another. You must submit your transfer request to our Annuities Service Center at least 30 days before the due date of the first annuity payment to which your transfer will apply. We will make transfers after the Annuity Commencement Date by converting the number of Annuity Units being transferred to the number of Annuity Units of the Variable Investment Option to which the transfer is made, so that the next annuity payment if it were made at that time would be the same amount that it would have been without the transfer. Thereafter, annuity payments will reflect changes in the value of the Annuity Units for the new Variable Investment Option selected. We reserve the right to limit, upon notice, the maximum number of transfers a Contract Owner may make to four per Contract Year. Once annuity payments have commenced, a Contract Owner may not make transfers from a Fixed Annuity Option to a Variable Annuity Option or from a Variable Annuity Option to a Fixed Annuity Option. In addition, we reserve the right to defer the transfer privilege at any time that we are unable to purchase or redeem shares of a Portfolio. We also reserve the right to modify or terminate the transfer privilege at any time in accordance with applicable law.

Distributions upon Death of Annuitant after Annuity Commencement Date

If you select an Annuity Option providing for payments for a guaranteed period, and the Annuitant dies after the Annuity Commencement Date, we will make any remaining guaranteed payments to the Beneficiary. We will make any remaining payments as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used as of the date of the Annuitant’s death. If no Beneficiary is living, we will commute any unpaid guaranteed payments to a single sum (on the basis of the interest rate used in determining the payments) and pay that single sum to the estate of the last to die of the Annuitant and the Beneficiary.

Other Contract Provisions

Initial Inspection Period

You may cancel the Contract by returning it to our Annuities Service Center or to your financial advisor at any time within 10 days after receiving it or such other period as required by law. Within 7 days of receiving a returned Contract, we will pay you the Contract Value computed at the end of the Business Day on which we receive your returned Contract or written notification acceptable to us. You may be subject to investment losses (or gains) prior to our receipt of your request for cancellation.

The number of days for a right to review may vary in certain states and for certain age groups in order to comply with the requirements of state insurance laws and regulations. Because the Contract is issued as an IRA under section 408 or 408A of the Code, during the first 7 days of the initial inspection period we will return your entire Purchase Payment if this is greater than the amount otherwise payable.

(Applicable to Contracts issued in California Only) Residents in California age 60 and older may cancel the Contract by returning it to our Annuities Service Center or your financial advisor at any time within 30 days after receiving it. We will allocate your Purchase Payment to the Money Market Variable Investment Option during this period and thereafter transfer it to the Variable Investment Options you select. We will permit you to elect to allocate your Purchase Payment during this 30 day period to one or more of the Variable Investment Options. If you cancel the Contract during this 30 day period and your Purchase Payment was allocated to the Money Market Variable Investment Option, we will pay you the greater of (a) the original amount of your Purchase Payment and (b) the Contract Value computed at the end of the Business Day on which we receive your returned Contract. If instead you allocated your Purchase Payment to a Variable Investment Option (other than the Money Market Variable Investment Option), we will pay you the Contract Value, computed at the end of the Business Day on which we receive your returned Contract. Therefore you may be subject to investment losses prior to our receipt of your request for cancellation if you allocate your Purchase Payment to a Variable Investment Option other than the Money Market Variable Investment Option.

Ownership

All rights and privileges under the Contract may be exercised by the Owner. Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, the Contract Owner is the person designated in the Contract specifications page or as subsequently named. On and after the Annuity Commencement Date, the Annuitant is the Contract Owner. If amounts become payable to any Beneficiary under the Contract, the Beneficiary is the Contract Owner. The Owner cannot be changed, except as permitted due to the death of the Annuitant and under federal tax law.

You may not sell, assign, transfer, discount or pledge as collateral for a loan or as security for the performance of an obligation, or for any other purpose, a Contract to any person other than us. We reserve the right to decline to issue a Contract to any person in our sole discretion.

Annuitant

The Annuitant is the natural person whose life is used to determine eligibility and the duration of Single Life Lifetime Income Amount or a Continuation Single Life Lifetime Income Amount and for the duration of annuity payments involving life contingencies. The

 

35


Table of Contents

Annuitant is entitled to receive all annuity payments under the Contract. If the Owner is an individual, the Owner and Annuitant must be the same person. Otherwise, the Contract must be owned for the benefit of the Annuitant. The Annuitant is as designated on the Contract specifications page or in the application. The Annuitant cannot be changed.

Co-Annuitant

The Annuitant’s and co-Annuitant’s lives are used to determine eligibility for and the duration of the Spousal Lifetime Income Amount and to determine eligibility for and the duration of annuity payments involving joint life contingencies. The Annuitant’s Spouse must be named as a co-Annuitant to establish a Spousal Lifetime Income Amount.

Beneficiary

The Beneficiary is the person, persons or entity designated in the Contract specifications page (or as subsequently changed). Under Spousal Lifetime Income Amount Contracts, if there is a Co-Annuitant at the time of the Annuitant’s death we will treat that person as the Beneficiary. You may change the Beneficiary (and any Contingent Beneficiary) subject to the rights of any irrevocable Beneficiary. You must make any change in writing and the change must be received at our Annuities Service Center. We must approve any change. If approved, we will effect such change as of the date on which it was written. We assume no liability for any payments made or actions taken before the change is approved. If no Beneficiary is living, any designated Contingent Beneficiary will be the Beneficiary. The interest of any Beneficiary is subject to that of any assignee. If no Beneficiary or Contingent Beneficiary is living, the Beneficiary is the estate of the deceased Contract Owner.

Spouse

Some states require that civil union and same-sex marriage partners receive the same contractual benefits as Spouses. You should consult with a qualified financial professional for additional information on your state’s regulations regarding civil unions and domestic partnerships.

Modification

We may not modify your Contract or certificate without your consent, except to the extent required to make it conform to any law or regulation or ruling issued by a governmental agency.

Our Approval

We reserve the right to accept or reject any Contract application at our sole discretion.

Misstatement and Proof of Age, Sex or Survival

We normally require proof of age, sex (where permitted by state law) or survival of any person upon whose age, sex or survival any payment depends. If the age or sex of the Annuitant or any co-Annuitant has been misstated, the benefits will be those that would have been provided for the Annuitant’s or any co-Annuitant’s correct age and sex. When you receive your Contract, you should review the information on age and sex and contact us by phone or mail at our Annuities Service Center with any corrections. If we have made incorrect annuity or benefit payments, the amount of any underpayment will be paid immediately and the amount of any overpayment will be deducted from future annuity or benefit payments.

VI. Charges and Deductions

We assess charges and deductions under the Contracts against the Purchase Payment, Contract Values or annuity payments. Currently, there are no deductions made from the Purchase Payment. In addition, there are deductions from and expenses paid out of the assets of the Portfolios that are described in the Portfolio prospectus.

Asset-Based Charges

We deduct asset-based charges daily to compensate us primarily for our administrative and distribution expenses, and for the mortality and expense risks we assume under the Contracts.

Administration Fee

We allocate a portion of the asset-based charges, as shown in “III. Fee Tables,” to help cover our administrative expenses. We deduct from each of the Subaccounts a daily charge, at an annual effective rate of 0.15% of the value of each corresponding Variable Investment Option to reimburse us for administrative expenses. The charge will be reflected in the Contract Value as a proportionate reduction in the value of each Variable Investment Option. Even though administrative expenses may increase, we guarantee that the administration fee will not increase as a result.

Mortality and Expense Risks Fee

The mortality risk we assume is the risk that Annuitants may live for a longer period of time than we estimate. We assume this mortality risk by virtue of annuity payment rates incorporated into the Contract which cannot be changed. This assures each Annuitant that his or her longevity will not have an adverse effect on the amount of annuity payments. The expense risk we assume is the risk that the administration charges may be insufficient to cover actual expenses.

To compensate us for assuming these risks, we deduct from each of the Subaccounts a daily charge at the annual effective rate of 0.45% of the value of the Variable Investment Options. The rate of the mortality and expense risks charge cannot be increased. The charge is assessed on all active Contracts, including Contracts continued by a Spousal Beneficiary upon the death of the Contract Owner or continued under any Annuity Option payable on a variable basis. If the charge is insufficient to cover the actual cost of the mortality and expense risks assumed, we will bear the loss. Conversely, if the charge proves more than sufficient, the excess will be profit to us and will be available for any proper corporate purpose including, among other things, payment of distribution expenses. In cases where no death proceeds are payable (e.g., for Contracts continued by a non-Spousal Beneficiary upon the death of the Owner), or under the Period Certain Only Annuity Option, if available, if you elect benefits payable on a variable basis, we continue to assess the Contractual mortality and expense risks charge, although we bear only the expense risk and not any mortality risk.

GIFL Select Fee

We currently assess a fee for the GIFL Select feature that is equal to 0.50% of the “Adjusted Benefit Base.” The Adjusted Benefit Base is the Benefit Base that was available on the prior Contract Anniversary. We will deduct the GIFL Select fee on the first Contract Anniversary and each Contract Anniversary thereafter. We reserve the right to increase the fee of up to 0.65% of the Adjusted Benefit Base after we issue a Contract. If we do, we will provide at least 30 day prior notice to the Owner’s last known address.

Although the current fee for the GIFL Select feature is the same for each version of the Lifetime Income Amount, the amount of the Lifetime Income Amount will differ from version to version. For example, the Single Life Lifetime Income Amount that you establish before the Annuitant reaches his or her Age 65 Trigger will be for a lower Lifetime Income Amount than a Spousal Lifetime Income Amount that you establish after the Annuitant and the co-Annuitant both reach the Age 65 Trigger. Please read “Determination of a Single Life, Continuation Single Life or Spousal Lifetime Income Amount” for more information.

We withdraw the GIFL Select fee from each Variable Investment Option in the same proportion that the value of each Variable Investment Option bears to the Contract Value. We will deduct a pro rata share of the annual fee from the Contract Value:

 

   

on the date we determine the amount of death proceeds that we pay to a Beneficiary;

 

   

after the Annuity Commencement Date at the time an Annuity Option under the Contract begins; or

 

   

on the date an Excess Withdrawal (including any applicable fees, charges, and taxes) reduces the Contract Value to an amount less than the Lifetime Income Amount.

We do not deduct the GIFL Select fee during the “Settlement Phase” or after the Annuity Commencement Date once an Annuity Option begins.

Table of Contents

Premium Taxes

We make deductions for any applicable premium or similar taxes. Currently, we assess a charge for premium taxes on your Purchase Payment, based on the following resident state (or jurisdiction) at the time the tax is assessed: California (0.50%); Guam (4.00%); Texas (0.04% - referred to as a “maintenance fee”); and West Virginia (1.00%).

In most cases, and subject to applicable state law, we deduct a charge in the amount of the tax from the total value of the Contract only at the time of annuitization, death, surrender, or withdrawal. We reserve the right, however, to deduct the charge from your Purchase Payment at the time it is made. We compute the amount of the charge by multiplying the applicable premium tax percentage by the amount withdrawn, surrendered, annuitized or applied to/distributed as death proceeds.

VII. Federal Tax Matters

Introduction

The following discussion of the federal income tax treatment of the Contract is not exhaustive, does not purport to cover all situations, and is not intended as tax advice. The federal income tax treatment of a Contract is quite complex, and you should consult a qualified tax advisor with regard to the application of the law to your circumstances. This discussion is based on the Code, Treasury Department regulations, and Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) rulings and interpretations existing on the date of this Prospectus. These authorities, however, are subject to change by Congress, the Treasury Department and judicial decisions.

This discussion does not address state or local tax consequences associated with a Contract. The discussion also does not address the potential tax and withholding rules that might apply to a Contract held by, or distribution paid to, any foreign person, including any foreign financial institution, other entity or individual. Please consult with your tax advisor if there is a possibility that a Contract might be held by, or payable to, a foreign person. In addition, we make no guarantee regarding any tax treatment – federal, state, or local – of any Contract or of any transaction involving a Contract.

Our Tax Status

We are taxed as a life insurance company. Under current tax law rules, we include the investment income (exclusive of capital gains) of a Separate Account in our taxable income and take deductions for investment income credited to our “policyholder reserves.” We are also required to capitalize and amortize certain costs instead of deducting those costs when they are incurred. We do not currently charge a Separate Account for any resulting income tax costs. We also claim certain tax credits or deductions relating to foreign taxes paid and dividends received by the Portfolios. These benefits can be material. We do not pass these benefits through to a Separate Account, principally because: (i) the deductions and credits are allowed to the Company and not the Contract Owners under applicable tax law; and (ii) the deductions and credits do not represent investment return on Separate Account assets that is passed through to Contract Owners.

The Contracts permit us to deduct a charge for any taxes we incur that are attributable to the operation or existence of the Contracts or a Separate Account. Currently, we do not anticipate making a charge for such taxes. If the level of the current taxes increases, however, or is expected to increase in the future, we reserve the right to make a charge in the future. (Please note that this discussion applies to federal income tax but not to any state or local taxes.)

General Information Regarding Purchase Payments

You must make a single Purchase Payment for a Contract through a direct rollover distribution from a tax-qualified retirement plan funded by a John Hancock USA or John Hancock New York group annuity contract with a GIFL Select lifetime income benefit feature (a “GIFL Select Retirement Plan”), or through a direct transfer from an existing GIFL Select Contract that we issued as a traditional IRA. The Contract does not permit you to make annual contributions that may otherwise be allowed under the Code.

We do not accept payments for the Contracts that are made through indirect rollover distributions from a GIFL Select Retirement Plan. We also do not accept rollover distributions, whether direct or indirect, from any other Qualified Plans as Purchase Payments for the Contracts.

We use the term “direct rollover distributions” to refer to amounts that a Qualified Plan remits directly to us for the purchase of a traditional IRA or Roth IRA Contract. We use the term “indirect rollover distributions” to refer to amounts that you may receive from a Qualified Plan, and then remit to us. The Contracts are not available for purchase through indirect rollover distributions, even though the Code permits an indirect rollover distribution from a Qualified Plan to be tax-deferred if it is contributed to an IRA within 60 days of receipt.

Designation of Contract as a Traditional IRA or Roth IRA. You must instruct us to issue a Contract either as a traditional IRA or as a Roth IRA when you initiate a direct rollover distribution as a participant in a GIFL Select Retirement Plan. If you are the surviving Spouse and “designated beneficiary” (as defined in the tax law) of a participant in a GIFL Select Retirement Plan, you may make a direct rollover distribution to purchase a Contract and must instruct us to issue it either as a traditional IRA or as a Roth IRA. The Contract is not available for use as an “inherited IRA” by a non-Spouse beneficiary of a deceased participant under a tax-qualified retirement account.

A direct rollover to a Roth IRA is taxable, but it is not subject to mandatory federal tax withholding. Please read “Conversion or Rollover to Roth IRA,” below, for more information.

Table of Contents

Traditional IRAs

Section 408 of the Code permits eligible individuals to contribute to an individual retirement program known as an Individual Retirement Annuity (“IRA”) or traditional IRA (to distinguish it from the Roth IRA discussed below). Contracts issued as traditional IRAs are subject to limits on the amounts that may be contributed, the persons who may be eligible and the time when distributions may commence. Under the tax rules, the Owner and the Annuitant may not be different individuals. If a co-Annuitant is named, all distributions made while the Annuitant is alive must be made to the Annuitant. The Contract does not qualify for use in connection with an Education IRA under section 530 of the Code.

Contributions to a Traditional IRA

Eligible rollover distributions from certain types of qualified retirement plans, such as a GIFL Select Retirement Plan, may be rolled over on a tax-deferred basis into a traditional IRA by former participants in the Plan. For these purposes, eligible rollover distributions include lump sum amounts payable from the Plan upon termination of employment, termination of the Plan, disability or retirement. Eligible rollover distributions do not include (i) required minimum distributions as described in section 401(a)(9) of the Code, (ii) certain distributions for life, life expectancy, or for 10 years or more which are part of a “series of substantially equal periodic payments,” and (iii) if applicable, certain hardship withdrawals.

Distributions from a Traditional IRA

In general, unless you have rolled over non-deductible contributions from your account value in a GIFL Select Retirement Plan, all amounts paid out from a traditional IRA Contract (in the form of an annuity, a single sum, death proceeds or partial withdrawal) are taxable to the payee as ordinary income. You may incur an additional 10% penalty tax if you surrender the Contract or make a withdrawal before you reach 59 1/2, unless certain exceptions apply as specified in section 72(t) of the Code. If any part of your direct rollover from a GIFL Select Retirement Plan includes after-tax contributions to the Plan, part of any withdrawal or surrender distribution, single sum, death proceeds or annuity payment from the Contract may be excluded from taxable income when received.

You may make tax-deferred direct transfers from a Contract held as a Traditional IRA to another Traditional IRA. If instead you take a withdrawal with the intent to roll the proceeds to another IRA as an indirect rollover, you should be aware of certain limitations under the tax law. You must complete any indirect rollover within 60 days of receiving the withdrawal. Moreover, during any 12-month period, you can make only one indirect rollover, with respect to all IRAs you own including Roth IRAs. Any additional indirect rollover attempted during the 12-month period will be treated as a distribution, subject to income tax and potentially the 10% penalty tax.

A Beneficiary who is not your Spouse may make a direct transfer to an inherited IRA of the amount otherwise distributable to him or her under a Contract issued as a traditional IRA.

Required Minimum Distributions from a Traditional IRA

Treasury Department regulations prescribe required minimum distribution (“RMD”) rules governing the time at which distributions from a traditional IRA to the Owner and Beneficiary must commence and the form in which the distributions must be paid. These special rules may also require the length of any guarantee period to be limited. They also affect the restrictions that the Owner may impose on the timing and manner of payment of death benefits to a Beneficiary or the period of time over which a Beneficiary may extend payment of the death benefits under the Contract. In addition, the presence of the death benefit or the lifetime income benefit feature may affect the amount of the RMD that must be made under the Contract. Failure to comply with RMD requirements will result in the imposition of an excise tax, generally 50% of the amount by which the amount required to be distributed exceeds the actual distribution. In the case of IRAs (other than Roth IRAs), distributions of minimum amounts (as specified in the tax law) to the Owner must generally commence by April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Owner turns age 70 1/2. The amount that must be distributed each year is computed on the basis of the Owner’s age, the value of the Contract (taking into account both the account balance and the actuarial present value of other benefits provided under the Contract), and the value of all other traditional IRAs owned by the taxpayer.

Distributions made from traditional IRAs (and Roth IRAs) after the Owner’s death must also comply with RMD requirements. Different rules governing the timing and the manner of payments apply, depending on whether the designated beneficiary is an individual and, if so, the Owner’s Spouse, or an individual other than the Owner’s Spouse. If you wish to impose restrictions on the timing and manner of payment of death benefits to your designated beneficiary or if your Beneficiary wishes to extend over a period of time the payment of the death benefits under your Contract, please consult your own qualified tax advisor.

If you make a direct transfer of all the value from a Contract issued as a traditional IRA to any other traditional IRA, the minimum distribution requirements (and taxes on the distributions) apply to amounts withdrawn from the other traditional IRA.

Penalty Tax on Premature Distributions from a Traditional IRA

A 10% penalty tax may be imposed on the taxable amount of any payment from a traditional IRA, The penalty tax does not apply to a payment:

 

   

received on or after the date on which the Contract Owner reaches age 59 1/2;

 

40


Table of Contents
   

received on or after the Owner’s death or because of the Owner’s disability (as defined in the tax law); or

 

   

made as a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) for the life (or life expectancy) of the Owner or for the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the Owner and designated beneficiary.

You may be subject to a retroactive application of the penalty tax, plus interest, if you begin taking a series of substantially equal periodic payments and then modify the payment pattern (other than by reason of death or disability) before the later of your turning age 59 1/2 and the passage of five years after the date of the first payment.

In addition, the penalty tax does not apply to certain distributions from IRAs that are used for first time home purchases or for higher education expenses, or to distributions made to certain eligible individuals called to active duty after September 11, 2001. Special conditions must be met to qualify for these three exceptions to the penalty tax. If you wish to take a distribution from a traditional IRA for these purposes, you should consult your own qualified tax advisor.

If you roll over a Contract issued as a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA by surrendering the Contract and purchasing a Roth IRA, you may be subject to federal income taxes, including withholding taxes. Please read “Conversion or Rollover to a Roth IRA,” below, for more information.

Roth IRAs

Section 408A of the Code permits eligible individuals to contribute to a type of IRA known as a Roth IRA. Roth IRAs are generally subject to the same rules as traditional IRAs, but they differ in certain significant ways with respect to the taxation of contributions and distributions.

Contributions to a Roth IRA

Unlike a traditional IRA, contributions to a Roth IRA are not deductible. As with a traditional IRA, eligible rollover distributions from certain types of qualified retirement plans, such as a GIFL Select Retirement Plan, may be directly rolled over into a Roth IRA by former participants in the Plan. For these purposes, eligible rollover distributions include lump sum amounts payable from the Plan upon termination of employment, termination of the Plan, disability or retirement. Eligible rollover distributions do not include (i) required minimum distributions as described in section 401(a)(9) of the Code, (ii) certain distributions for life, life expectancy, or for 10 years or more which are part of a “series of substantially equal periodic payments,” and (iii) if applicable, certain hardship withdrawals.

Federal income tax will apply to direct rollovers from “non-Roth” accounts in GIFL Select Retirement Plans to Contracts issued as Roth IRAs. Please read “Conversion or Rollover to a Roth IRA,” below, for more information. Under current rules, direct rollovers from “Roth” accounts in a GIFL Select Retirement Plan to Contracts issued as Roth IRAs generally are not subject to federal income tax.

Distributions from a Roth IRA

Unlike a traditional IRA, distributions from Roth IRAs need not commence after the Owner turns age 70 1/2. Distributions must, however, begin after the Owner’s death. Distributions after the Owner’s death must comply with the minimum distribution requirements described above for traditional IRAs. Different rules governing the timing and the manner of payments apply, depending on whether the designated beneficiary is an individual, and, if so, the Owner’s Spouse, or an individual other than the Owner’s Spouse.

If you wish to impose restrictions on the timing and the manner of payment of death proceeds to your designated beneficiary or if your Beneficiary wishes to extend payment of the Contract death proceeds over a period of time, please consult your own qualified tax advisor.

Qualified distributions from a Roth IRA are excluded from income. A qualified distribution for these purposes is a distribution that satisfies two requirements. First, the distribution must be made in a taxable year that is at least five years after the first taxable year for which a contribution to any Roth IRA established for the Owner was made. Second, the distribution must be:

 

   

made after the Owner turns age 59 1/2;

 

   

made after the Owner’s death;

 

   

attributable to the Owner being disabled; or

 

   

a qualified first-time homebuyer distribution within the meaning of section 72(t)(2)(F) of the Code.

The five year period required to qualify a distribution as tax-free under a Roth IRA may differ from the five year holding period required under the GIFL Select feature in the Contract. This is because the five year qualification period for tax purposes begins only with a contribution to a Roth IRA. Contributions to a Roth account in some other form of Qualified Plan, such as a Roth account in a GIFL Select Retirement Plan, do not count toward satisfying the five year requirement for qualified distributions from a Roth IRA.

Table of Contents

EXAMPLE: Suppose you made on-going contributions to a “Roth” account in a GIFL Select Retirement Plan for three years and then make a rollover purchase of a Roth IRA Contract when you are 57. We will require you to fulfill another two years before you qualify for a Single Life Lifetime Income Amount. If you limit your annual withdrawals to the Lifetime Income Amount, we will guarantee the amount for as long as you live. During the 5-year qualification period for the Roth IRA, you will be subject to tax, however, on the withdrawals which exceed the portion of your rollover contribution that consisted of your non-deductible contributions to the Roth account in the GIFL Select Retirement Plan.

A direct transfer from a Contract issued as a Roth IRA to another Roth IRA is not subject to income tax. However, during any 12-month period, you can make only one indirect rollover with respect to all IRAs you own, including Roth IRAs.

Penalty Tax on Premature Distributions from a Roth IRA

Taxable distributions before age 59 1/2 may also be subject to a 10% penalty tax. This early distribution penalty may also apply to amounts converted to a Roth IRA that are subsequently distributed within a 5-taxable year period beginning in the year of conversion. Please read “Penalty Tax on Premature Distributions from a Traditional IRA,” above, for more information.

The state tax treatment of a Roth IRA may differ from the federal income tax treatment of a Roth IRA. You should seek independent tax advice if you intend to use the Contract in connection with a Roth IRA.

Conversion or Rollover to a Roth IRA

You can convert a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA. You also can initiate a direct rollover distribution from a non-Roth GIFL Select Retirement Plan to a Roth IRA Contract. The Roth IRA annual contribution limit does not apply to conversion or rollover amounts.

 

You must pay tax on any portion of a conversion or rollover amount that would have been taxed if you had not converted or rolled over to a Roth IRA. If you convert a Contract issued as a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, the amount deemed to be the conversion amount for tax purposes may be higher than the Contract Value because of the deemed value of guarantees. If you convert a Contract issued as a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, you may instruct us not to withhold any of the conversion amount for taxes and remittance to the IRS. If you do instruct us to withhold for taxes when converting a Contract issued as a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, we will treat any amount we withhold as a withdrawal from your Contract, which could result in an Excess Withdrawal and a reduction in the Lifetime Income Amount we guarantee under your Contract. Please read “Guaranteed Lifetime Income Withdrawal Benefit” in “V. Description of the Contract” for more information about the impact of withdrawals.

If you direct the sponsor or administrator of your GIFL Select Retirement Plan to transfer a rollover amount from your non-Roth GIFL Select Retirement Plan to us to purchase a Roth IRA Contract, there is no mandatory tax withholding that applies to the rollover amount. A direct rollover to a Roth IRA is not subject to mandatory tax withholding, even though the distribution is includible in gross income.

Current tax law no longer imposes a restriction based on adjusted gross income on a taxpayer’s ability to convert a traditional IRA or other qualified retirement accounts to a Roth IRA. Accordingly, taxpayers with more than $100,000 of adjusted gross income may now convert such assets to a Roth IRA. Generally, the amount converted to a Roth IRA is included in ordinary income for the year in which the account was converted. Given the taxation of Roth IRA conversions and the potential for an early distribution penalty tax, you should consider the resources that you have available, other than your retirement plan assets, for paying any taxes that would become due the year of any such conversion or a subsequent year. You should seek independent qualified tax advice if you intend to use the Contract in connection with a Roth IRA.

You are not subject to federal income tax on a direct rollover of distributions from a Roth account in a GIFL Select Retirement Plan to a Contract issued as a Roth IRA or from a Contract issued as a Roth IRA to another Roth IRA.

Puerto Rico Contracts Issued to Fund Retirement Plans

The tax laws of Puerto Rico vary significantly from the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of the United States that are applicable to various Qualified Plans. If you purchase a Contract intended for use in connection with a Puerto Rican “tax qualified” retirement plan, please note that the text of this Prospectus addresses U.S. federal tax law only and is inapplicable to the tax laws of Puerto Rico.

See Your Own Tax Advisor

The foregoing description of federal income tax topics and issues is only a brief summary and is not intended as tax advice. It does not include a discussion of federal estate and gift tax or state tax consequences. The rules under the Code governing Qualified Plans are extremely complex and often difficult to understand. Changes to the tax laws may be enforced retroactively. Anything less than full compliance with the applicable rules, all of which are subject to change from time to time, can have adverse tax consequences. The taxation of an Annuitant or other payee has become so complex and confusing that great care must be taken to avoid pitfalls. For further information you should always consult a qualified tax advisor.

VIII. General Matters

Distribution of Contracts

John Hancock Distributors, LLC (“JH Distributors”), a Delaware limited liability company that we control, is the principal underwriter and distributor of the Contracts offered by this Prospectus and of other annuity and life insurance products we and our affiliates offer. JH Distributors also acts as the principal underwriter of the John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust, whose securities are used to fund certain Variable Investment Options under the Contracts and under other annuity and life insurance products we offer.

JH Distributors’ principal address is 200 Bloor Street East, Toronto, Canada M4W 1E5. It also maintains offices with us at 601 Congress Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02210. JH Distributors is a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”) and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).

We offer the Contracts for sale through broker-dealers that have entered into selling agreements with JH Distributors and us. Broker-dealers sell the Contracts through their registered representatives who have been appointed by us to act as our insurance agents. JH Distributors, or any of its affiliates that is registered under the 1934 Act and a member of FINRA, may also offer the Contracts directly to potential purchasers. Signator Investors, Inc. is an affiliated broker-dealer.

JH Distributors may continue to pay compensation to broker-dealers for the promotion, sale and servicing of the Contracts. Contract Owners do not pay this compensation directly. These payments are made from JH Distributors’ and our own revenues, profits or retained earnings, which may be derived from a number of sources, such as fees received from an underlying Portfolio’s distribution plan (“12b-1 fees”), the fees and charges imposed under the Contract, and other sources, including distribution plans of the underlying funds of a Portfolio that is a fund of funds.

The individual representative who sells you a Contract may receive a portion of the compensation that we pay for servicing an existing Contract under the representative’s own arrangement with his or her broker-dealer. We may also continue to pay commissions or overrides to a limited number of affiliated and/or non-affiliated broker dealers that provide marketing support and training services to the broker-dealers that sell and service the Contracts.

Standard Compensation

The amount and timing of compensation JH Distributors pays broker-dealers may vary depending on the selling agreement, but compensation with respect to Contracts sold through broker-dealers (inclusive of wholesaler overrides and expense allowances) and paid to broker-dealers is not expected to exceed, at an annual rate, 0.50% of the values of the Contracts attributable to Purchase Payments.

The individual representative who sells you a Contract (your “financial advisor”) typically will receive a portion of the compensation, under the representative’s own arrangement with his or her broker-dealer. We may also provide compensation to broker-dealers for providing ongoing service in relation to Contract(s) that have already been purchased.

We may provide, either from the 12b-1 fees received from the Portfolios underlying the Contracts or out of our own resources, rollover compensation to the broker-dealer of record for a Qualified Plan funded by certain group annuity contracts issued by John Hancock insurance companies, when a plan participant terminates from the Qualified Plan and rolls over plan assets into a Contract and JH Distributors is the broker-dealer of record on that Contract. Such rollover compensation is not expected to exceed 0.50% of the average daily net asset value of such Contracts.

We may pay the Qualified Plan’s third party administrator a $25 fee per participant rollover from such plan to the Contract for facilitating the transaction.

Differential Compensation

Compensation negotiated and paid by JH Distributors pursuant to a selling agreement with a broker-dealer may differ from compensation levels that the broker-dealer receives for selling or servicing other variable contracts. In addition, under their own arrangements, broker-dealers may pay a portion of any amounts received from us to their registered representatives. As a result, registered representatives may be motivated to recommend the contracts of one issuer over another issuer or one product over another product.

You should contact the financial advisor through whom you purchased a Contract for more information on compensation arrangements in connection with the sale and purchase of your Contract.

Transaction Confirmations

We will send you confirmation statements for certain transactions in your Variable Investment Options. You should carefully review these transaction confirmations to verify their accuracy. You should report any mistakes immediately to our Annuities Service Center. If you fail to notify our Annuities Service Center of any mistake within 60 days of the delivery of the transaction confirmation, we will deem you to have ratified the transaction. We encourage you to register for electronic delivery of your transaction confirmations. Please contact the John Hancock Annuities Service Center at the applicable telephone number or Internet address shown on the first page of this Prospectus for more information on electronic transactions.

Reinsurance Arrangements

From time to time we may utilize reinsurance as part of our risk management program. Under any reinsurance agreement, we remain liable for the contractual obligations of the Contracts’ guaranteed benefits and the reinsurer(s) agree to reimburse us for certain amounts and obligations in connection with the risks covered in the reinsurance agreements. A reinsurer’s contractual liability runs solely to us, and no Contract Owner shall have any right of action against any reinsurer. In evaluating reinsurers, we consider the financial and claims paying ability ratings of the reinsurer. Our philosophy is to minimize incidental credit risk. We do so by engaging in secure types of reinsurance transactions with high quality reinsurers and diversifying reinsurance counterparties to limit concentrations. Some of the benefits that may be reinsured include living benefits, guaranteed death benefits, or other obligations.

We use accumulation units to measure the value of your investment in a particular Variable Investment Option. Each accumulation unit reflects the value of underlying shares of a particular Portfolio (including dividends and distributions made by that Portfolio), as well as the charges we deduct on a daily basis for Separate Account Annual Expenses (see “III. Fee Tables” for additional information on these charges).

General Information and History

John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) Separate Account H, (the “Separate Account”) (formerly, The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) Separate Account H) is a separate investment account of John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.), (“we,” “us,” “the Company,” or “John Hancock USA”) (formerly, The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.)). We are a stock life insurance company organized under the laws of Maine on August 20, 1955, by a special act of the Maine legislature. John Hancock USA redomesticated under the laws of Michigan on December 30, 1992. Our Michigan office is located at 201 Townsend Street, Suite 900, Lansing, Michigan 48933. Our principal office is located at 601 Congress Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02210-2805. John Hancock USA also has an Annuities Service Center – its mailing address is P.O. Box 55444, Boston, MA 02205-5444; its overnight mail address is 30 Dan Road – Suite 55444, Canton, MA 02021-2809; and its email address is www.jhannuities.com. Our ultimate parent is Manulife Financial Corporation (“MFC”) based in Toronto, Canada. MFC is the holding company of The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company and its subsidiaries, collectively known as Manulife Financial.

The Separate Account was established on August 24, 1984 as a separate account of The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company of North America (“Manulife North America”), another wholly-owned subsidiary of MFC which on January 1, 2002 merged into the Company. As a result of this merger, the Company became the owner of all of Manulife North America’s assets, including the assets of the Separate Account and assumed all of Manulife North America’s obligations including those under the Contracts. The merger had no other effect on the terms and conditions of the Contracts or on your allocations among Investment Options.

Our financial statements which are included in this Statement of Additional Information should be considered only as bearing on our ability to meet our obligations under the Contracts. They should not be considered as bearing on the investment performance of the assets held in the Separate Account.

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The statutory-basis financial statements of John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) at December 31, 2014 and 2013, and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014, and the financial statements of John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) Separate Account H at December 31, 2014, and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2014, appearing in this Statement of Additional Information of the Registration Statement have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, as set forth in their reports thereon appearing elsewhere herein, and are included in reliance upon such reports given on the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

Servicing Agent

Computer Sciences Corporation (“CSC”) provides to us a computerized data processing recordkeeping system for variable and fixed annuity administration. CSC provides various daily, semimonthly, monthly, semiannual and annual reports including:

    daily updates on accumulation unit values, variable annuity participants and transactions, and agent production and commissions;
    semimonthly commission statements;
    monthly summaries of agent production and daily transaction reports;
    semiannual statements for Contract Owners; and
    annual Contract Owner tax reports.

We pay CSC a fixed cost of $3.46 million per Contract per year, plus certain other fees for the services provided.

Principal Underwriter

John Hancock Distributors, LLC (“JH Distributors”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of MFC, serves as principal underwriter of the Contracts. Contracts are offered on a continuous basis. The aggregate dollar amounts of underwriting commissions paid to JH Distributors in 2014, 2013, and 2012 were $284,122,028, $290,380,853, and $309,982,088, respectively.

Compensation

The Contracts are primarily sold through selected firms. The Contracts’ principal distributor, JH Distributors, and its affiliates (collectively, “JHD”) pay compensation to broker-dealers (firms) for the promotion, sale and servicing of the Contracts. The compensation JHD pays may vary depending on each firm’s selling agreement and the specific Contract(s) distributed by the firm, but

Table of Contents

compensation (inclusive of wholesaler overrides and expense allowances) paid to the firms for sale of the Contracts and ongoing services to Contract Owners is not expected to exceed the standard compensation amounts referenced in the Prospectus for the applicable Contract. The amount and timing of this compensation may differ among firms.

The financial advisor through whom your Contract is sold is a registered representative of a broker-dealer, and as such will be compensated pursuant to that registered representative’s own arrangement with his or her broker-dealer. The registered representative and the firm may have multiple options on how they wish to allocate their commissions and/or compensation. We are not involved in determining your financial advisor’s compensation You are encouraged to ask your financial advisor about the basis upon which he or she will be personally compensated for the advice or recommendations provided in connection with the sale of your Contract.

Compensation to firms for the promotion, sale and servicing of the Contracts is not paid directly by Contract owners, but we expect to recoup it through the fees and charges imposed under the Contract.

Legal and Regulatory Matters

There are no legal proceedings to which we, the Separate Account or the principal underwriter is a party, or to which the assets of the Separate Account are subject, that are likely to have a material adverse effect on:

    the Separate Account; or
    the ability of the principal underwriter to perform its contract with the Separate Account; or
    on our ability to meet our obligations under the variable annuity contracts funded through the Separate Account.

Report of Independent Auditors

The Board of Directors and Shareholder

John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.)

We have audited the accompanying statutory-basis financial statements of John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) (the Company), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of operations, changes in capital and surplus, and cash flow for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Michigan Office of Financial and Insurance Regulation. Management also is responsible for the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the 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 involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, to meet the requirements of Michigan the financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Michigan Office of Financial and Insurance Regulation, which practices differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The variances between such practices and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and the effects on the accompanying financial statements are described in Note 2.

Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

In our opinion, because of the effects of the matter described in the preceding paragraph, the statutory-basis financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2014 and 2013, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014.

Opinion on Statutory-Basis of Accounting

However, in our opinion, the statutory-basis financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period December 31, 2014 in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Michigan Office of Financial and Insurance Regulation.

NOTES TO STATUTORY-BASIS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Organization and Nature of Operations

John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) (“JHUSA” or the “Company”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Manufacturers Investment Corporation (“MIC”). MIC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of John Hancock Financial Corporation (“JHFC”), which is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company (“MLI”). MLI, in turn, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Manulife Financial Corporation (“MFC”), a Canadian-based, publicly traded financial services holding company.

The Company provides a wide range of financial protection and wealth management products and services to both individual and institutional customers located primarily in the United States. Through its insurance operations, the Company offers a variety of individual life insurance and individual and group long-term care insurance products that are distributed through multiple distribution channels, including insurance agents, brokers, banks, financial planners, and direct marketing. The Company also offers mutual fund products and services which include a variety of retirement products to retirement plans. The Company distributes these products through multiple distribution channels, including insurance agents and affiliated brokers, securities brokerage firms, financial planners, pension plan sponsors, pension plan consultants, and banks. In 2013, the Company discontinued sales of its structured settlements and single premium immediate annuity products. In 2012, the Company suspended new sales of its individual fixed and variable annuity products. The Company is licensed to sell insurance in 49 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

John Hancock Distributors LLC (“JHD”), a registered broker-dealer and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acts as the principal underwriter of variable life contracts pursuant to a distribution agreement with the Company.

The Company has two wholly-owned life insurance subsidiaries, John Hancock Life Insurance Company of New York (“JHNY”) and John Hancock Life & Health Insurance Company (“JHLH”).

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes known and may impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein.

Basis of Presentation

These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Michigan Department of Insurance and Financial Services (the “Insurance Department”). The National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ (“NAIC”) Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual (“NAIC SAP”) has been adopted as a component of practices prescribed or permitted by the State of Michigan. The Michigan Director of the Department of Insurance and Financial Services (the “Director”) has the authority to prescribe or permit other specific practices that deviate from prescribed practices. NAIC SAP practices differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) as described below.

Investments: Investments in bonds not backed by other loans are principally stated at amortized cost using the constant yield (interest) method. Bonds can also be stated at the lesser of amortized cost or fair value based on their NAIC designated rating. Non-redeemable preferred stocks, which have characteristics of equity securities, are reported at cost or lower of cost or market value as determined by the Securities Valuation Office of the NAIC (“SVO”) rating, and the related net unrealized capital gains (losses) are reported in unassigned surplus along with any adjustment for federal income taxes. Redeemable preferred stocks, which have characteristics of debt securities and are rated as medium quality or better, are reported at cost or amortized cost. All other redeemable preferred stocks are reported at the lower of cost, amortized cost, or fair value.

For bonds other than loan-backed and structured securities, the Company has a process in place to identify securities that could potentially have an impairment that is other-than-temporary. The Company recognizes other-than-temporary impairment losses on bonds with unrealized losses when either of the following two conditions exist: the entity either (1) has the intent to sell the debt security or (2) is more likely than not to be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. Declines in value due to credit difficulties are also considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired when the

2. Significant Accounting Policies - (continued)

 

Company does not have the intent and ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in value. The entire difference between amortized cost and fair value on such bonds with credit difficulties is recognized as an impairment loss in income.

Loan-backed and structured securities (i.e., collateralized mortgage obligations) are adjusted for the effects of changes in prepayment assumptions on the related accretion of discounts or amortization of premiums of such securities using either the retrospective or prospective methods. The retrospective adjustment method is used to value all such securities, except principal-only and interest-only securities and such securities with NAIC designations of 3-6, which are valued using the prospective method. If it is determined that a decline in fair value is other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the security is written down to the present value of estimated future cash flows using the original effective interest rate inherent in the security.

Common stocks are primarily reported at fair value based on quoted market prices and the related net unrealized capital gains (losses) are reported in unassigned surplus, net of any adjustment for federal income taxes. There are no restrictions on common and preferred stocks.

Insurance subsidiaries are reported at their underlying statutory equity. Non-insurance subsidiaries, which have significant ongoing operations other than for the benefit of the Company and its affiliates, are reported at GAAP equity. Non-insurance subsidiaries, which have no significant ongoing operations other than for the benefit of the Company and its affiliates, are reported based on the underlying equity adjusted to a statutory-basis, plus the admitted portion of goodwill. Dividends from subsidiaries are included in net investment income. The remaining net change in the subsidiaries’ equity is included in the change in net unrealized capital gains (losses).

Realized capital gains (losses) on sales of securities are recognized using the first in first out (“FIFO) method. The cost basis of bonds and common and preferred stocks is adjusted for impairments in value deemed to be other-than-temporary and such adjustments are reported as a component of net realized capital gains (losses).

Mortgage loans on real estate are reported at unpaid principal balances, less an allowance for impairments. Valuation allowances, if necessary, are established for mortgage loans on real estate based on the difference between the net value of the collateral, determined as the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to obtain and sell, and the recorded investment in the mortgage loan. The initial valuation allowance and subsequent changes in the allowance for mortgage loans are charged or credited directly to unassigned surplus. A mortgage loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all principal and interest amounts due according to the contractual terms of the mortgage agreement. When management determines foreclosure is probable and the impairment is other-than-temporary, the mortgage loan is written down and a realized loss is recognized.

Real estate occupied by the Company and real estate held for the production of income are reported at depreciated cost, net of related obligations. Real estate that the Company has the intent to sell is reported at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value, net of related obligations. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the properties. Investment income and operating expenses include rent for the Company’s occupancy of Company-owned properties

Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and are principally stated at amortized cost. Short-term investments include investments with maturities of one year or less and greater than three months at the date of acquisition and are principally stated at amortized cost.

Policy loans are reported at unpaid principal balances.

Derivative instruments that meet the criteria to qualify for hedge accounting are accounted for in a manner consistent with the item hedged (i.e., amortized cost or fair value with the related net unrealized capital gains (losses) reported in unassigned surplus along with any adjustment for federal income taxes). Derivative instruments that are entered into for other than hedging purposes or that do not meet the criteria to qualify for hedge accounting are accounted for at fair value, and the related changes in fair value are recognized as net unrealized capital gains (losses) reported in unassigned surplus, net of any adjustments for federal income taxes. Embedded derivatives are not accounted for separately from the host contract.

Other invested assets consist of ownership interests in partnerships and limited liability corporations (“LLCs”) which are carried based on the underlying GAAP equity, with the exception of affordable housing tax credit properties, which are

Interest Maintenance and Asset Valuation Reserves: Under a formula prescribed by the NAIC, the Company defers the portion of realized capital gains (losses) on sales of fixed income investments, principally bonds and mortgage loans, and interest-related hedging activities that are attributable to changes in the general level of interest rates and amortizes those deferrals over the remaining period to maturity based on groupings of individual securities sold in five-year bands. That net deferral is reported as the interest maintenance reserve (“IMR”) in the accompanying Balance Sheets. Realized capital gains (losses) are reported in income, net of federal income tax and transferred to the IMR. The asset valuation reserve (“AVR”) provides a valuation allowance for invested assets. The AVR is determined by an NAIC prescribed formula with changes reflected directly in unassigned surplus.

Subsidiaries: The accounts and operations of the Company’s subsidiaries are not consolidated with the accounts and operations of the Company.

Goodwill: Goodwill is admitted subject to an aggregate limitation of 10% of the capital and surplus in the most recently filed quarterly statement, excluding EDP equipment, operating system software, net deferred tax assets, and net positive goodwill. Goodwill is amortized over the period the Company benefits economically, not to exceed 10 years. Goodwill held by non-insurance subsidiaries is assessed in accordance with GAAP, subject to certain limitations for holding companies and foreign insurance subsidiaries.

Separate Accounts: Separate account assets and liabilities reported in the accompanying Balance Sheets represent funds that are separately administered, principally for annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies, and for which the contract holder, rather than the Company, bears the investment risk. Separate account obligations are intended to be satisfied from separate account assets and not from assets of the general account. Separate accounts are generally reported at fair value. The operations of the separate accounts are not included in the Statements of Operations; however, income earned on amounts initially invested by the Company in the formation of new separate accounts is included in other revenue. Fees charged to contract holders, principally mortality, policy administration, and surrender charges are included in separate account administrative and contract fees. The assets in the separate accounts are not pledged to others as collateral or otherwise restricted. For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, there were no gains (losses) on transfers of assets from the general account to the separate account.

Nonadmitted Assets: Certain assets designated as nonadmitted, principally furniture and equipment, past due agents’ balances, and other assets not specifically identified as an admitted asset within the NAIC SAP are excluded from the accompanying Balance Sheets and are charged directly to unassigned surplus.

Policy Acquisition Costs: The costs of acquiring and renewing business are expensed when incurred.

Policy Reserves: Reserves for life, long-term care, annuity, and deposit-type contracts are developed by actuarial methods and are determined based on interest rates, mortality tables and valuation methods prescribed by the NAIC that will provide, in the aggregate, reserves that are greater than or equal to the maximum of guaranteed policy cash values or the amounts required by the Insurance Department.

 

   

The Company waives deduction of deferred fractional premiums on the death of lives insured and annuity contract holders and returns any premium beyond the date of death. Surrender values on policies do not exceed the corresponding benefit reserves. Additional reserves are established when the results of asset adequacy testing indicate the need for such reserves or the net premiums exceed the gross premiums on any insurance in-force. This includes asset adequacy testing required under NAIC Actuarial Guideline 38 Section 8D (“AG 38 8D”). The Company held gross reserves of $641 million and $325 million for the calculation required under AG 38 8D, of which $446 million and $0 million was ceded to Manulife Reinsurance Limited (“MRL”) under an existing coinsurance transaction at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company held reserves of $1,030 million and $1,018 million, respectively, on insurance in-force for which gross premiums were less than net premiums according to the standard of valuation set by the State of Michigan.

 

   

Reserves for individual life insurance policies are maintained using the 1941, 1958, 1980, and 2001 Commissioner’s Standard Ordinary and American Experience Mortality Tables. Methods used include the net level premium method

principally for policies issued prior to 1978, a modified preliminary term method, and the Commissioner’s Reserve Valuation Method.

 

   

Annuity and supplementary contracts with life contingency reserves are based principally on modifications of the 1937 Standard Annuity Table, the Group Annuity Mortality Tables for 1951, 1971, 1983, and 1994, the 1971 Individual Annuity Mortality Table, the 1983 Individual Annuity Mortality Table, and the 2000 Individual Annuity Mortality Table.

 

   

Liabilities related to policyholder funds left on deposit with the Company are generally equal to fund balances.

 

   

Long-term care reserves are generally calculated using the one-year preliminary term method based on various mortality, morbidity, and lapse tables.

 

   

The mean reserve method is used to adjust the calculated terminal reserve to the appropriate reserve at December 31, 2014 or 2013. Mean reserves are determined by computing the terminal reserve for the plan at the rated age and assuming annual premiums have been paid as of the valuation date. For certain policies with substandard table ratings, mean reserves are based on rated mortality from 125% to 500% of standard rating; for certain policies with flat extra ratings, mean reserves are based on standard mortality rates increased by 1 to 25 deaths per thousand. An asset is recorded for deferred premiums, net of loading, to adjust the reserve for modal premium payments.

 

   

For long-term care, the interpolated reserve method is used to adjust the calculated terminal reserve, and in addition an unearned premium reserve is held.

 

   

Tabular interest, tabular less actual reserve released, and tabular costs have been determined by formula. Tabular interest on funds not involving life contingencies is calculated as one percent of the product of such valuation rate of interest times the mean of the amount of funds subject to such valuation rate of interest held at the beginning and end of the valuation year.

 

   

From time to time, the Company finds it appropriate to modify certain required policy reserves because of changes in actuarial assumptions. Reserve modifications resulting from such determinations are recorded directly to unassigned surplus.

 

   

Reserves for variable deferred annuity contracts are calculated in accordance with NAIC Actuarial Guideline 43, and primarily use the 1994 Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit or Annuity 2000 tables. The reserve is based on the present value of accumulated losses from the perspective of the Company. The liability is evaluated under both a standard scenario and stochastic scenario, and the Company holds the higher of the standard or stochastic values.

Reinsurance: Reinsurance ceded contracts do not relieve the Company from its obligations to policyholders. The Company remains liable to its policyholders for the portion reinsured to the extent that any reinsurer does not meet its obligations for reinsurance ceded to it under the reinsurance agreements. Failure of the reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company; consequently, estimates are established for amounts deemed or estimated to be uncollectible. To minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurance insolvencies, the Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentration of credit risk arising from similar characteristics of the insurer.

Premiums, commissions, expense reimbursements, benefits, and reserves related to reinsured business are accounted for on bases consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. Premiums ceded to other companies have been reported as a reduction of premium income. Amounts applicable to reinsurance ceded for future policy benefits, unearned premium reserves, and claim liabilities have been reported as reductions of these items.

The Company records a liability for unsecured policy reserves ceded to reinsurers not authorized in the State of Michigan to assume such business. Changes to those amounts are credited or charged directly to unassigned surplus. Policy and contract liabilities ceded to reinsurers have been reported as reductions of the related reserves. Commissions allowed by reinsurers on business ceded are reported as income when received. Investment income ceded includes separate account fee income, net investment income and realized investment and other gains (losses), which was ceded to the affiliated reinsurers. NAIC SAP

prescribes that no gain be recognized upon inception of a reinsurance treaty. The initial consideration is recorded directly to unassigned surplus and released into income over the life of the treaty.

Federal Income Taxes: Total federal income taxes are based upon the Company’s best estimate of its current and deferred tax assets or liabilities. Current tax expense is reported in the statements of operations as federal income tax expense if resulting from operations and within net unrealized capital gains (losses) if resulting from capital transactions. Changes in the balances of deferred taxes, which provide for book versus tax temporary differences, are subject to limitations and are reported within various lines within surplus. Accordingly, the reporting of statutory to tax temporary differences, such as reserves and policy acquisition costs, and of statutory to tax permanent differences, such as tax-exempt interest and tax credits, results in effective tax rates in the statements of operations that differ from the federal statutory tax rate.

Participating Insurance and Policyholder Dividends: Participating business represented approximately 26% and 27% of the Company’s aggregate reserve for life contracts at December 31, 2014 and 2013. The amount of policyholders’ dividends to be paid is approved annually by the Company’s Board of Directors. Policyholder dividends are recognized when declared rather than over the term of the related policies. The determination of the amount of policyholder dividends is complex and varies by policy type. In general, the aggregate amount of policyholders’ dividends is calculated based upon actual interest, mortality, morbidity, persistency, and expense experience for the year, as well as management’s judgment as to the appropriate level of statutory surplus to be retained by the Company. John Hancock Life Insurance Company (“JHLICO”) was a predecessor company that was merged into JHUSA on December 31, 2009. For additional information on the closed blocks, see the Closed Blocks Note.

Surplus Notes: Surplus notes are reported in capital and surplus, and the interest expense is not accrued unless approved for payment by the Insurance Department.

Statements of Cash Flow: Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in the statements of cash flow represent movements of cash and highly liquid debt investments with initial maturities of one year or less.

Premiums and Benefits: Premiums for whole, term, and universal life, long-term care, annuity policies, guaranteed interest, and group annuity contracts with any mortality and morbidity risk are recognized as revenue when due. Revenues for universal life and annuity policies with mortality or morbidity risk, except for guaranteed interest, term certain supplementary contracts, and funding agreements, consist of the entire premium received. Premiums received for annuity policies, guaranteed interest, funding agreements, variable universal life, and group annuity contracts without mortality or morbidity risk are recorded using deposit accounting and are credited directly to an appropriate policy reserve account, without recognizing premium revenue. Benefits incurred represent the total of death benefits paid, annuity benefits paid and the change in policy reserves.

Policy and Contract Claims: Policy and contract claims are determined on an individual-case basis for reported losses. Estimates of incurred but not reported losses are developed on the basis of past experience.

Guaranty Fund Assessments: Guaranty fund assessments are accrued when the Company receives knowledge of an insurance insolvency.

Reclassifications: Certain prior year amounts in the Company’s statutory-basis financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year financial statement presentation.

Variances Between NAIC SAP and GAAP: The more significant variances from GAAP are: (a) bonds would generally be reported at fair value; (b) changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments would generally be reported as revenue unless deemed an effective hedge; (c) embedded derivatives would be bifurcated from the underlying contract or security and accounted for separately at fair value; (d) income recognition on partnerships and LLCs, which are accounted for under the equity method, would not be limited to the amount of cash distribution; (e) majority-owned noninsurance subsidiaries, variable interest entities where the Company is the primary beneficiary, and certain other controlled entities would be consolidated; (f) changes in the balances of deferred income taxes would generally be included in net income; (g) market value adjusted (“MVA”) annuity products would be reported in the general account of the Company; (h) all assets, subject to valuation allowances, would be recognized; (i) reserves would generally be based upon the net level premium method or the estimated gross margin method with estimates of future mortality, morbidity, persistency and interest; (j) reinsurance ceded, unearned ceded premium and unpaid ceded claims would be reported as an asset; (k) AVR and IMR would not be recorded; (l) changes to the mortgage loan valuation allowance would be reported in income; (m) surplus notes would be reported as

liabilities; (n) premiums received in excess of policy charges for universal life and annuity policies would not be recognized as premium revenue and benefits would represent the excess of benefits paid over the policy account value and interest credited to the account values; (o) certain acquisition costs, such as commissions and other variable costs, directly related to acquiring new business are charged to current operations as incurred, would generally be capitalized and amortized based on profit emergence over the expected life of the policies or over the premium payment period; and (p) changes in unrealized capital gains (losses) and foreign currency translations would be presented as other comprehensive income.

3. Permitted Statutory Accounting Practices

The financial statements of the Company are presented in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Division.

For determining the Company’s solvency under the State of Michigan’s insurance laws and regulations, the Insurance Department recognizes only statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the State of Michigan for determining and reporting the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. NAIC SAP has been adopted as a component of prescribed or permitted practices by the State of Michigan. The Director has the authority to prescribe or permit other specific practices that deviate from prescribed practices.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Director had not prescribed or permitted the Company to use any accounting practices that would result in the Company’s income or financial position to deviate from NAIC SAP.

4. Accounting Changes

Accounting changes adopted to conform to the provisions of NAIC SAP are reported as changes in accounting principles. The cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles is reported as an adjustment to unassigned surplus in the period of the change in accounting principle. The cumulative effect is the difference between the amount of unassigned surplus at the beginning of the year and the amount of unassigned surplus that would have been reported at that date if the new accounting principle had been applied retrospectively.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In March 2014, the NAIC adopted updated guidance regarding derivatives. The new guidance permits a company to designate the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (also referred to as the “Overnight Index Swap Rate” or “OIS”) as the hedged risk (or benchmark interest rate) in both cash flow and fair values hedges. The updated guidance also removed the requirement that similar hedges designate the same benchmark rate. The adoption of this guidance did not impact the Company’s Balance Sheets or Statements of Operations.

Future Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In December 2014, the NAIC adopted Actuarial Guideline 48 (“AG 48”) which intends to bring uniformity to the regulation of XXX and AXXX business subject to life insurer-owned captive reinsurance arrangements. The guidance requires the appointed actuary of the ceding company to perform an analysis of the amount and type of assets backing collateral. AG 48’s actuarial method determines the amount of “high quality assets” which must back collateral and is based on calculations from the NAIC principle based reserving valuation manual. Certified reinsurers as well as licensed and accredited reinsurers with no permitted practices will be exempt from AG 48. Additionally, AG 48 does not apply to policies that were issued prior to January 1, 2015 and included in a reserve financing arrangement as of December 31, 2014. As such, the adoption of AG 48 is not expected to have any material impact on the Company’s Balance Sheets or Statements of Operations.

Reconciliation Between Audited Financial Statements and NAIC Annual Statements

There were no differences in net income (loss) or capital and surplus between the audited financial statements and the NAIC statements as filed as of and for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012.

At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company held below investment grade corporate bonds of $2,096 million and $2,428 million, with an aggregate fair value of $2,197 million and $2,551 million, respectively. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of the issuers of these bonds.

The Company has a process in place to identify securities that could potentially have an impairment that is other-than-temporary. This process involves monitoring market events that could impact issuers’ credit ratings, business climate, management changes, litigation and government actions, and other similar factors. This process also involves monitoring late payments, downgrades by rating agencies, key financial ratios, financial statements, revenue forecasts, and cash flow projections as indicators of credit issues.

At the end of each quarter, the MFC Loan Review Committee reviews all securities where there is evidence of impairment or a significant unrealized loss at the Balance Sheet date. Generally, securities with market value less than 60 percent of amortized cost for six months or more indicate an impairment is present. Accordingly, securities in this category are normally deemed impaired unless there is clear evidence they should not be impaired. The analysis focuses on each company’s or project’s ability to service its debts in a timely fashion and the length of time the security has been trading below amortized cost. The results of this analysis are reviewed by the Transaction and Portfolio Review Committee at MFC. This committee includes MFC’s Chief Financial Officer, Chief Investment Officer, Chief Risk Officer, Chief Credit Officer, and other senior management. This quarterly process includes a fresh assessment of the credit quality of each investment in the entire fixed maturity security portfolio.

The Company considers relevant facts and circumstances in evaluating whether the impairment of a security is other-than-temporary. Relevant facts and circumstances considered include (1) the length of time the fair value has been below cost; (2) the financial position of the issuer, including the current and future impact of any specific events; and (3) the Company’s ability and intent to hold the security to maturity or until it recovers in value. To the extent the Company determines that a security, other than loan-backed and structured securities, is deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, the difference between amortized cost and fair value would be charged to income. For loan-backed and structured securities in an unrealized loss position, where the Company does not intend to sell or is not likely to be required to sell the security, the Company calculates an other-than-temporary impairment loss by subtracting the net present value of the projected future cash flows of the security from the amortized cost of the security. The net present value is calculated by discounting the Company’s best estimate of projected future cash flows at the effective interest rate implicit in the debt security prior to impairment. The projection of future cash flows is subject to the same analysis the Company applies to its overall impairment evaluation process, as noted above, which incorporates security specific information such as late payments, downgrades by rating agencies, key financial ratios, financial statements, and fundamentals of the industry and geographic area in which the issuer operates, as well as overall macroeconomic conditions. The cash flow estimates, including prepayment assumptions, are based on data from third-party data sources or internal estimates, and are driven by assumptions regarding the underlying collateral, including default rates, recoveries, and changes in value.

There are a number of significant risks and uncertainties inherent in the process of monitoring impairments and determining if impairment is other-than-temporary. These risks and uncertainties include (1) the risk that the Company’s assessment of an

issuer’s ability to meet all of its contractual obligations will change based on changes in the credit characteristics of that issuer; (2) the risk that the economic outlook will be worse than expected or have more of an impact on the issuer than anticipated; (3) the risk that fraudulent information could be provided to the Company’s investment professionals who determine the fair value estimates and other-than-temporary impairments; and (4) the risk that new information obtained by the Company or changes in other facts and circumstances lead the Company to change its intent to hold the security to maturity or until it recovers in value. Any of these situations could result in a charge to income in a future period.

The impact of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (OTTI) on Carrying Values (CV), including the Present Value (PV) of Cash Flows (CF) less than Book Value (BV), is as follows:

At December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were 574 and 945 bonds that had a gross unrealized loss, of which the single largest unrealized loss was $12 million and $87 million, respectively. The Company anticipates that these bonds will perform in accordance with their contractual terms and the Company currently has the ability and intent to hold these bonds until they recover or mature. Unrealized losses can be created by rising interest rates or by rising credit concerns and hence widening credit spreads. Credit concerns are apt to play a larger role in the unrealized loss on below investment grade securities. Unrealized losses on investment grade securities principally relate to changes in interest rates or changes in credit spreads since the securities were acquired. Credit rating agencies’ statistics indicate that investment grade securities have been found to be less likely to develop credit concerns.

For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, realized capital losses include $24 million, $88 million, and $108 million related to bonds that have experienced an other-than-temporary decline in value and were comprised of 21, 43, and 78 securities, respectively. These are primarily made up of impairments on public and private bonds and sub-prime mortgage-backed securities.

The total recorded investment in restructured corporate bonds at December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $17 million, $0 million, and $0 respectively. There were 2, 0, and 0 restructured corporate bonds for which an impairment was recognized during 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company accrues interest income on impaired securities to the extent deemed

* Affiliates — fair value represents the carrying value

At December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were 134 and 110 nonaffiliated equity securities that had a gross unrealized loss excluding securities that have been written down to zero. The single largest unrealized loss was $3 million and $3 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company anticipates that these equity securities will recover in value in the near term.

The Company has a process in place to identify equity securities that could potentially have an impairment that is other-than-temporary. The Company considers relevant facts and circumstances in evaluating whether the impairment of a security is other-than-temporary. Relevant facts and circumstances include (1) the length of time the fair value has been below cost; (2) the financial position of the issuer; and (3) the Company’s ability and intent to hold the security until it recovers. To the extent the Company determines that a security is deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, the difference between book value and fair value would be charged to income.

For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, realized capital losses include $2 million, $5 million, $5 million and related to preferred and common stocks that have experienced an other-than-temporary decline in value and were comprised of 33, 69, and 124 securities, respectively. These are primarily made up of impairments on public and private common stocks.

Generally, the terms of the restructured mortgage loans call for the Company to receive some form or combination of an equity participation in the underlying collateral, excess cash flows or an effective yield at the maturity of the loans sufficient to meet the original terms of the loans. There are no contractual commitments made to extend credit to debtors owning receivables whose terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings. The Company accrues interest income on impaired loans to the extent deemed collectible and the loan continues to perform under its original or restructured contractual terms. Interest income on non-performing loans generally is recognized on a cash basis.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for allowance for losses for the periods indicated.

In 2014, JHUSA acquired real estate from an affiliate, JHNY. The real estate had a book value of approximately $32 million and was recorded at fair value of approximately $33 million at the date of the transaction.

On December 12, 2014, the Company announced it entered into an arrangement with Allianz to co-invest up to $1 billion in the U.S. real estate market. As part of this arrangement, the Company sold 100% of certain real estate holding to an unaffiliated joint venture limited partnership (“LP”) in return for cash and a 20% equity interest in the LP. These properties have a book value of $343 million and fair value of $545 million, which resulted in a gain to operations of $161 million (after 20% deferral of realized gain). Going forward, the Company will provide the LP with property management services and through a wholly-owned subsidiary will provide the LP with asset management services.

Other Invested Assets

The Company had no investments in partnerships or LLCs that exceed 10% of its admitted assets at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Other invested assets primarily consist of investments in partnerships and LLCs. The Company recorded $3 million, $0 million, and $3 million of impairments on partnerships and limited liability companies during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. A periodic review of projected discounted cash flows was performed and the analysis provided evidence of the resulting impairments.

Other

The subprime lending sector, also referred to as B-paper, near-prime, or second chance lending, is the sector of the mortgage lending industry which lends to borrowers who do not qualify for prime market interest rates because of poor or insufficient credit history.

For purposes of this disclosure, subprime exposure is defined as the potential for financial loss through direct investment, indirect investment, or underwriting risk associated with risk from the subprime lending sector. For purposes of this note, subprime exposure is not limited solely to the risk associated with holding direct mortgage loans, but also includes any indirect risk through investments in asset-backed or structured securities, hedge funds, common stock, subsidiaries and affiliates, and insurance product issuance.

Although it can be difficult to determine the indirect risk exposures, it should be noted that not only does it include expected losses, it also includes the potential for losses that could occur due to significantly depressed fair value of the related assets in an illiquid market.

The Company had no direct exposure through investments in subprime mortgage loans as of December 31, 2014 or 2013.

Management considers several factors when classifying a structured finance or residential mortgage-backed security holding as “subprime” or placing a security in the highest risk category. These factors include the transaction’s weighted average FICO or credit score, loan-to-value ratio (LTV), geographic composition, lien position, loan purpose, and loan documentation.

The Company has entered into certain repurchase agreements with an aggregate carrying value of $0 million and $0 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. For such agreements, the Company agrees to a specified term, price, and interest rate through the date of the repurchase.

The Company’s practice is to require a minimum of 102% of the fair value of securities loaned under securities lending agreements to be maintained as non-cash collateral. Positions are marked to market and adjusted on a daily basis to ensure the 102% margin requirement is maintained. Any cash collateral received is not re-invested nor is a rebate paid to the lending counterparty. There were no securities on loan as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.

6. Derivatives

Derivatives are financial contracts, the value of which is derived from underlying interest rates, foreign exchange rates, credit, equity price movements, indices or other market risks arising from on-balance sheet financial instruments and selected anticipated transactions. The Company uses derivatives including swaps, forward and futures agreements, floors, and options to manage current and anticipated exposures to changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, credit and equity market prices.

6. Derivatives - (continued)

 

Over-the-counter (“OTC”) swaps are contractual agreements between the Company and a counterparty to exchange a series of cash flows based upon rates applied to a notional amount. For interest rate swaps, counterparties generally exchange fixed or floating interest rate payments based on a notional value in a single currency. Cross currency swaps involve the exchange of principal amounts between parties as well as the exchange of interest payments in one currency for the receipt of interest payments in another currency. Total return swaps are contracts that involve the exchange of payments based on changes in the values of a reference asset, including any returns such as interest earned on these assets, in return for amounts based on reference rates specified in the contract.

Cleared interest rate swaps are contractual agreements between the Company and a counterparty whereby the transaction must be cleared through a central clearing house, and subject to mandatory margin and reporting requirements.

Forward and futures agreements are contractual obligations to buy or sell a financial instrument or foreign currency on a predetermined future date at a specified price. Forward contracts are OTC contracts negotiated between counterparties, whereas futures agreements are contracts with standard amounts and settlement dates that are traded on regulated exchanges.

Interest rate floors are contracts with counterparties which require payment of a premium for the right to receive payments when the market interest rate on specified future dates falls below the agreed upon strike price. Interest rate treasury lock contracts are customized agreements securing current interest rates on Treasury securities for payment on a future date.

Options are contractual agreements whereby the holder has the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call option) or sell (put option) a security, exchange rate, interest rate, or other financial instrument at a predetermined price/rate within a specified time.

Types of Derivatives and Derivative Strategies

Interest Rate Contracts. The Company uses interest rate futures contracts, OTC interest rate swap agreements, cleared interest rate swap agreements, pre-payable interest rate swap agreements, and interest rate treasury locks as part of its overall strategies of managing the duration of assets and liabilities or the average life of certain asset portfolios to specified targets. Interest rate swap agreements are contracts with counterparties to exchange interest rate payments of a differing character (i.e., fixed-rate payments exchanged for variable-rate payments) based on an underlying principal balance (notional principal). The net differential to be paid or received on interest rate swap agreements is accrued and recognized as a component of net investment income.

The Company uses interest rate swap agreements in effective hedge accounting relationships. These derivatives hedge the variable cash flows associated with future fixed income asset acquisitions, which will support the Company’s long-term care and life insurance businesses. These agreements will reduce the impact of future interest rate changes on the cost of acquiring adequate assets to support the investment income assumptions used in pricing these products.

The Company also uses interest rate swap agreements in effective hedge accounting relationships designed to hedge the variable cash flows associated with payments that it will receive on certain floating rate bonds.

In addition, the Company uses interest rate swap agreements in effective hedge accounting relationships to hedge the risk of changes in fair value of fixed rate assets and liabilities arising from changes in benchmark interest rates.

The Company also enters into basis swaps to better match the cash flows from assets and related liabilities. Basis swaps are included in interest rate swaps for disclosure purposes. The Company utilizes basis swaps in other hedging relationships.

Inflation swaps are used to reduce inflation risk generated from inflation-indexed liabilities. Inflation swaps are classified within interest rate swaps for disclosure purposes. The Company utilizes inflation swaps in effective hedge accounting relationships and other hedging relationships.

The Company uses exchange-traded interest rate futures primarily to hedge mismatches between the duration of assets in a portfolio and the duration of liabilities supported by those assets, to hedge against changes in value of securities the Company owns or anticipates acquiring, and to hedge against changes in interest rates on anticipated liability issuances by replicating U.S. Treasury or swap curve performance. The Company utilizes exchange-traded interest rate futures in other hedging relationships.

6. Derivatives - (continued)

 

The Company also purchases interest rate floors primarily to protect against interest rate exposure arising from mismatches between assets and liabilities (duration mismatches). The Company utilizes interest rate floors in other hedging relationships.

Foreign Currency Contracts. Foreign currency derivatives, including foreign currency swaps, foreign currency forwards, and foreign currency futures are used by the Company to reduce the risk from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates associated with its assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

Cross currency rate swap agreements are used to manage the Company’s exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations, interest rate fluctuations, or both, on foreign currency financial instruments. Cross currency rate swap agreements are contracts to exchange the currencies of two different countries at the same rate of exchange at specified future dates. The net differential to be paid or received on cross currency rate swap agreements is accrued and recognized as a component of net investment income.

Under foreign currency forwards, the Company agrees with other parties to deliver a specified amount of an identified currency at a specified future date. Typically, the price is agreed upon at the time of the contract and payment for such a contract is made at the specified future date. The maturities of these forwards correspond with the future periods in which the foreign currency transactions are expected to occur. The Company utilizes currency forwards in effective hedge accounting relationships and other hedging relationships.

Foreign currency futures are contractual obligations to buy or sell a foreign currency on a predetermined future date at a specified price. These contracts are standardized contracts traded on an exchange. The Company utilizes foreign exchange futures in other hedging relationships.

Equity Market Contracts. Total return swaps are contracts that involve the exchange of payments based on changes in the value of a reference asset, including any returns such as interest earned on these assets, in exchange for amounts based on reference rates specified in the contract. The Company utilizes total return swaps in effective hedge accounting relationships and other hedging relationships.

Equity index options are contractual agreements whereby the holder has the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call option) or sell (put option) an underlying equity market index on or before a specified future date at a specified price. The Company utilizes equity index options that are exchange-traded in other hedging relationships.

Equity index futures contracts are contractual obligations to buy or sell a specified amount of an underlying equity index at an agreed contract price on a specified date. Equity index futures are contracts with standard amounts and settlement dates that are traded on regulated exchanges. The Company utilizes equity index futures in other hedging relationships.

Credit Contracts. The Company manages credit risk through the issuance of credit default swaps (“CDS”). A CDS is a derivative instrument representing an agreement between two parties to exchange the credit risk of a single specified entity or an index based on the credit risk of a group of entities (all commonly referred to as the “reference entity” or a portfolio of “reference entities”), in return for a periodic premium. CDS contracts typically have a five-year term.

Replication Synthetic Assets. Replication synthetic asset transactions (“RSATs”) are derivative transactions made in combination with a cash instrument in order to reproduce the investment characteristic of an otherwise permissible investment. The Company uses interest rate swaps and credit default swaps in these transactions when direct investments are either too expensive to acquire or otherwise unavailable in the market. Such derivatives can only be RSATs and not hedging vehicles.

Hedging Relationships

The Company generally does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes. In certain circumstances, these hedges also meet the requirements for hedge accounting and are reported in a manner consistent with the hedged asset or liability. For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, the Company recorded unrealized gains of $1,215 million, $168 million, and $750 million, respectively, related to derivatives that no longer qualify for hedge accounting.

Fair Value Hedges. The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to changes in fair value of fixed-rate financial instruments caused by changes in interest rates. The Company also uses cross currency swaps and currency forwards to manage its exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations and interest rate fluctuations.

Cash Flow Hedges. The Company uses interest rate swaps and interest rate treasury locks to hedge the variability in cash flows from variable rate financial instruments and forecasted transactions. The Company also uses cross currency swaps and forward agreements to hedge currency exposure on foreign currency financial instruments and foreign currency denominated

expenses, respectively. Total return swaps are used to hedge the variability in cash flows associated with certain stock-based compensation awards. Inflation swaps are used to reduce inflation risk generated from inflation-indexed liabilities.

In 2012, the Company de-designated $1.6 billion (notional principal) of forward-starting interest rate swaps for the life insurance business. The de-designation of these interest rate swaps resulted in an increase to unassigned surplus of $288 million, net of tax, as of December 31, 2012.

In 2014, the Company concluded that a portion of the hedged transactions for its long-term care business and life insurance business were probable not to occur resulting in the de-designation of $2.7 billion (notional principal) of forward-starting interest rate swaps. The de-designation of these interest rate swaps resulted in an increase to unrealized capital gains (losses) of $445 million, net of tax. In addition as part of our affiliate reinsurance agreement with JHRECO, we were required as part of the net investment income component of the treaty settlement calculation to cede $440 million, net of tax, and therefore the overall impact of this transaction was not material to capital and surplus.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, all of the Company’s hedged forecast transactions qualified as cash flow hedges and no cash flow hedges were discontinued because it was probable that the original forecasted transactions would occur by the end of the originally specified time period documented at inception of the hedging relationship.

The maximum time frame for which variable cash flows are hedged is 32 years.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments in Effective Hedge Accounting or RSAT Relationships. The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements, cancelable interest rate swap agreements, and interest rate futures contracts to manage interest rate risk, total return swap agreements to manage equity risk, and CDS to manage credit risk. The Company also uses interest rate treasury locks and interest rate floor agreements to manage exposure to interest rates without designating the derivatives as hedging instruments. Interest rate floor agreements hedge the interest rate risk associated with minimum interest rate guarantees in certain life insurance and annuity businesses.

The Company offers certain variable annuity products with a guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit (“GMWB”) and guaranteed minimum death benefit (“GMDB”). These guarantees are effectively an embedded option on the basket of mutual funds offered to contract holders. The Company manages a hedging program to reduce its exposure to certain contracts with the GMWB and GMDB guarantees. This dynamic hedging program uses interest rate swap agreements, equity index futures (including but not limited to the Dow Jones Industrial, Standard & Poor’s 500, Russell 2000, and Dow Jones Euro Stoxx 50 indices), equity index options, and U.S. Treasury futures to match the sensitivities of the GMWB and GMDB liabilities to the market risk factors.

The Company also has a macro equity risk hedging program using equity and currency futures, as well as equity index options. This program is designed to reduce the Company’s overall exposure to public equity markets arising from several sources including, but not limited to, variable annuity guarantees not dynamically hedged, separate account fees not associated with guarantees, and Company equity holdings.

The Company uses foreign currency swaps and foreign currency forwards to reduce the risk from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates associated with its assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

Deferred net realized gains and losses are reported in IMR and amortized over the remaining period to expiration date.

Credit Default Swaps

The Company replicates exposure to specific issuers by selling credit protection via CDS in order to complement its cash bond investing. The Company does not employ leverage in its CDS program and therefore, does not write CDS protection in excess of its government bond holdings.

The rating agency designations are based on S&P where available followed by Moody’s, Dominion Bond Rating Services (DBRS), and Fitch. If no rating is available from a rating agency, then an internally developed rating is used.

2 

Notional amount represents the maximum future payments the Company would have to pay its counterparties assuming a default of the underlying credit and zero recovery on the underlying issuer obligation.

3 

The weighted average maturity of the CDS is weighted based on notional amounts.

The Company holds no purchased credit protection at December 31, 2014 and 2013. The average credit rating of the counterparties guaranteeing the underlying credits is A+ and the weighted average maturity is 3 years.

Credit Risk

The Company’s exposure to loss on derivatives is limited to the amount of any net gains that may have accrued with a particular counterparty. Gross derivative counterparty exposure is measured as the total fair value (including accrued interest) of all outstanding contracts in a gain position excluding any offsetting contracts in negative positions and the impact of collateral on hand. The Company may be exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to the derivative financial instruments. The current credit exposure of the Company’s derivative contracts is limited to the fair value in excess of the collateral held at the reporting date.

The Company manages its credit risk by entering into transactions with creditworthy counterparties, obtaining collateral where appropriate, and entering into master netting agreements that provide for a netting of payments and receipts with a single counterparty. The Company enters into credit support annexes with its OTC derivative dealers in order to manage its credit exposure to those counterparties. As part of the terms and conditions of those agreements, the pledging and accepting of collateral in connection with the Company’s derivative usage is required. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company accepted collateral consisting of cash of $2,939 million and $640 million, and various securities with a fair value of $3,895 million and $2,155 million, respectively, which is held in separate custodial accounts. In addition, the Company has pledged collateral to support both the OTC derivative instruments, exchange traded futures and cleared interest rate swap transactions. For further details regarding pledged collateral see the Investments Note.

Under U.S. regulations, certain interest rate swap agreements and credit default swap agreements are required to be cleared through central clearing houses. These transactions are contractual agreements that require initial and variation margin collateral postings and are settled on a daily basis through a clearing house. As such, they reduce the credit risk exposure in the event of default by a counterparty.

Transactions with Affiliates

The Company has entered into two currency swap agreements with JHFC which are recorded at fair value. JHFC utilizes the currency swaps to hedge currency exposure on foreign currency financial instruments. The Company has also entered into two currency agreements with external counterparties which offset the currency swap agreements with JHFC. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the currency swap agreements with JHFC and the external counterparties had offsetting fair values of $238 million and $19 million, respectively.

7. Fair Value

The following is a description of the valuation techniques used to measure fair value and the general classification of these instruments pursuant to the fair value hierarchy:

 

   

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value and Reported in the Balance Sheet after Initial Recognition — This category includes assets and liabilities measured at fair value. Financial instruments in this category include bonds and preferred stocks carried at the lower of cost or fair value due to their SVO quality rating, common stocks, derivatives, and separate account assets.

 

   

Other Financial Instruments Not Reported at Fair Value After Initial Recognition — This category includes assets and liabilities which do not require the additional disclosures as follows:

Bonds — For bonds, including corporate debt, U.S. Treasury, commercial and residential mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, collateralized debt obligations, issuances by foreign governments, and obligations of state and political subdivisions, fair values are based on quoted market prices when available. When market prices are not available, fair value is generally estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, incorporating current market inputs for similar financial instruments with comparable terms and credit quality (matrix pricing). The significant inputs into these models include, but are not limited to, yield curves, credit risks and spreads, measures of volatility, and prepayment speeds.

Mortgage Loans on Real Estate — The fair value of unimpaired mortgage loans is estimated using discounted cash flows and takes into account the contractual maturities and discount rates, which were based on current market rates for similar maturity ranges and adjusted for risk due to the property type. The fair value of impaired mortgage loans is based on the net of the collateral less estimated cost to obtain and sell.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments — The carrying values for cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

Policy Loans — These loans are carried at unpaid principal balances, which approximate their fair values.

Policy Reserves — Policy reserves consists of guaranteed investment contracts. The fair values associated with these financial instruments are determined by projecting cash flows and discounting the cash flows at current corporate rates, defined as U.S. Treasury rates plus MFC’s corporate spread. The fair value attributable to credit risk represents the present value of the spread.

Policyholders’ and Beneficiaries Funds — Includes term certain contracts, funding agreements, supplementary contracts without life contingencies and those balances that can be withdrawn by the policyholder at any time without prior notice or penalty. The fair values associated with the term certain contracts, funding agreements and supplementary contracts without life contingencies are determined by projecting cash flows and discounting the cash flows at current corporate rates, defined as U.S. Treasury rates plus MFC’s corporate spread. The fair value attributable to credit risk represents the present value of the spread. For those balances that can be withdrawn by the policyholder at any time without prior notice or penalty, the fair value is the amount estimated to be payable to the policyholder as of the reporting date, which is generally the carrying value.

Consumer Notes — The fair value of consumer notes is determined by projecting cash flows and discounting the cash flows at current corporate rates, defined as U.S. Treasury rates plus MFC’s corporate spread. The fair value attributable to credit risk represents the present value of the spread.

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value and Reported in the Balance Sheet after Initial Recognition

Valuation Hierarchy

The Company categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used by the Company’s valuation techniques. A level is assigned to each fair value measurement based on the lowest level input significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

   

Level 1 — Fair value measurements that reflect unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Active markets are defined as having the following characteristics for the measured asset/liability; (i) many transactions, (ii) current prices, (iii) price quotes not varying substantially among market makers, (iv) narrow bid/ask spreads, and (v) most information is publicly available. Valuations are based on quoted prices reflecting market transactions involving assets or liabilities identical to those being measured. Level 1 assets primarily include exchange traded equity securities and certain separate account assets.

 

   

Level 2 — Fair value measurements using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in inactive markets, inputs that are observable that are not prices (such as interest rates, credit risks, etc.), and inputs that are derived from or corroborated by observable market data. Certain of the Company’s separate account assets and derivative assets and liabilities are included within Level 2. A description of valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of derivatives is described below.

 

   

Level 3 — Fair value measurements using significant nonmarket observable inputs. These include valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived using data, some or all of which is not market observable data, including assumptions about risk. Level 3 securities include impaired bonds and less liquid securities, such as structured asset-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and other securities that have little or no price transparency. The valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of derivative assets and separate account investments in timber and agriculture are included in Level 3 as described below.

Determination of Fair Value

The fair value of an asset is the amount at which that asset could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties that is other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The fair value of a liability is the amount at which that liability could be incurred or settled in a current transaction between willing parties that is other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

Fair values are based on quoted market prices when available. When market prices are not available, fair value is generally estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, incorporating current market inputs for similar financial instruments with comparable terms and credit quality (matrix pricing). In instances where there is little or no market activity for the same or similar instruments, the Company estimates fair value using methods, models and assumptions that management believes market participants would use to determine a current transaction price. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment which becomes significant with increasingly complex instruments or pricing models. Where appropriate, adjustments are included to reflect the risk inherent in a particular methodology, model or input used.

The following is a description of the valuation techniques used to measure fair value and the general classification of these instruments pursuant to the fair value hierarchy:

Bonds

Refer to the previous page for the determination of fair value of bonds. Generally, impaired bonds with a NAIC designation rating of 6 whose cost is greater than its fair value are reported at fair value and are classified within Level 3.

Preferred Stocks

Preferred stocks with active markets are classified within Level 1, as fair values are based on quoted market prices. Preferred stocks not traded in active markets are classified within Level 3.

7. Fair Value - (continued)

 

Common Stocks

Common stocks with active markets are classified within Level 1, as fair values are based on quoted market prices. Common stocks not traded in active markets are classified within Level 3.

Derivatives

The fair value of derivatives is determined through the use of quoted market prices for exchange-traded derivatives or through the use of pricing models for OTC derivatives. The pricing models used are based on market standard valuation methodologies, and the inputs to these models are consistent with what a market participant would use when pricing the instruments. Derivative valuations can be affected by changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates, financial indices, credit spreads, default risk (including the counterparties to the contract), and volatility. The Company’s derivatives are generally classified within Level 2 given the significant inputs to the pricing models for most OTC derivatives are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Inputs that are observable generally include interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and interest rate curves; however, certain OTC derivatives may rely on inputs that are significant to the fair value, but are unobservable in the market or cannot be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data and would be classified within Level 3. Inputs that are unobservable generally include broker quotes, volatilities, and inputs that are outside of the observable portion of the interest rate curve or other relevant market measures. These unobservable inputs may involve significant management judgment or estimation.

Even though unobservable, these inputs are based on assumptions deemed appropriate given the circumstances and consistent with what market participants would use when pricing such instruments. The credit risk of both the counterparty and the Company are considered in determining the fair value for all OTC derivatives after taking into account the effects of netting agreements and collateral arrangements.

Separate Account Assets and Liabilities

For separate accounts structured as a non-unitized fund, the fair value of separate account assets is based on the fair value of the underlying assets owned by the separate account. For separate accounts structured as a unitized fund, the fair value of the separate account assets is based on the fair value of the underlying funds owned by the separate account. Assets owned by the Company’s separate accounts primarily include: investments in mutual funds, bonds, common stock, short-term investments, real estate, and cash and cash equivalents. Investment performance related to separate account assets is fully offset by corresponding amounts credited to contract holders whose interest in the separate account assets is recorded by the Company as separate account liabilities. Separate account liabilities are set equal to the fair value of separate account assets.

The fair value of fund investments is based upon quoted market prices or reported net asset value (“NAV”). Fund investments that are traded in an active market and have a NAV that the Company can access at the measurement date are classified within Level 1. Level 2 assets consist primarily of bonds which are valued using matrix pricing with independent pricing data.

Separate account assets classified as Level 3 consist primarily of fixed maturity and equity investments in private companies, which own timber and agriculture and carry them at fair value. The values of the timber and agriculture investments are estimated using generally accepted valuation techniques. A comprehensive appraisal is performed shortly after initial purchase and at two or three-year intervals thereafter. Appraisal updates are conducted according to client contracts, generally at one-year or six-month intervals. In the quarters in which an investment is not independently appraised or its valuation updated, the market value is reviewed by management. The valuation of an investment is adjusted only if there has been a significant change in economic circumstances related to the investment since acquisition or the most recent independent valuation and upon the independent appraiser’s review and concurrence with management. Further, these valuations are prepared giving consideration to the income, cost, and sales comparison approaches of estimating asset value. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s timberland investments are harvest volumes, timber prices, operating costs and discount rates. Significant changes to any one of these inputs in isolation could result in a significant change to fair value measurement. Holding other factors constant, an increase to either harvest volumes or timber prices would tend to increase the fair value of a timberland investment, while an increase in operating costs or discount rate would have the opposite effect. These investments are classified as Level 3 by the companies owning them, and therefore the equity investments in these companies are considered to be Level 3 by the Company.

Transfers of Level 1 and Level 2 Assets and Liabilities

The Company’s policy is to record transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 at their fair values as of the end of each reporting period, consistent with the date of the determination of fair value. Assets are transferred out of Level 1 when they are no longer transacted with sufficient frequency and volume in an active market. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not have any transfers from Level 1 to Level 2. Conversely, assets are transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 when transaction volume and frequency are indicative of an active market. The Company did not transfer assets from Level 2 to Level 1 during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

7. Fair Value - (continued)

 

The transfers into Level 3 primarily result from securities that were impaired during the year or securities where a lack of observable market data (versus the previous year) resulted in reclassifying instruments into Level 3. The transfers out of Level 3 primarily result from observable market data becoming available for that instrument, thus eliminating the need to extrapolate market data beyond observable points. Additionally, securities carried at fair value at the beginning of the period but carried at amortized cost at the end of the period due to rating change or change in fair value relative to amortized cost, are included in transfers out of Level 3. Conversely, any securities carried at amortized cost at the beginning of the period and carried at fair value at the end of the year due to SVO rating change or change in fair value relative to amortized cost, are included into transfers into Level 3.

8. Reinsurance

Certain premiums and benefits are assumed from or ceded to affiliate and other insurance companies under various reinsurance agreements. The Company entered into these reinsurance agreements to shift underlying risk on certain of its products, and to improve cash flow and statutory capital. The ceded reinsurance agreements provide the Company with increased capacity to write larger risks and maintain its exposure to loss within its capital resources.

Total reinsurance amounts included in the Company’s accompanying statutory-basis financial statements were as follows:

     2014     2013     2012  
  

 

 

 
     (in millions)  

Premiums earned

       $ 19,525      $   20,311      $    21,716

Ceded

Net

       $   12,738      $ 12,882      $ 7,554   
  

 

 

 

Benefits to policyholders ceded

       $ 18,500      $ 17,988      $   18,235   

Reserve amounts ceded to reinsurers not authorized in the State of Michigan are mostly covered by letters of credit or trust agreements. Amounts payable or recoverable for reinsurance on policy and contract liabilities are not subject to periodic or maximum limits. At December 31, 2014, any material recoveries were secured by letters of credit or assets placed in trust by the assuming company.

Neither the Company nor any of its related parties control, directly or indirectly, any external reinsurers with whom the Company conducts business. No policies issued by the Company have been reinsured with a foreign company, which is controlled, either directly or indirectly, by a party not primarily engaged in the business of insurance. The Company does not have any reinsurance agreements in effect under which the reinsurer may unilaterally cancel the agreement. At December 31, 2014, there was no reinsurance agreements in effect such that the amount of losses paid or accrued exceed the total direct premium collected.

As of December 31, 2014, if all reinsurance agreements were cancelled the estimated aggregate reduction in unassigned surplus is $898 million.

On January 1, 2010, the assets supporting the policyholders who reside in the state of New York (“NY business”) were transferred to JHNY from the Company. The transfer included participating traditional life insurance, universal life insurance, fixed deferred and immediate annuities, participating pension contracts, and variable annuities. The NY business was transferred using assumption reinsurance, modified coinsurance and coinsurance with cut-through provisions.

The NY business related to participating traditional life insurance policies was transferred from JHUSA to JHNY under a coinsurance agreement and was immediately retroceded back to JHUSA using a coinsurance funds withheld agreement. JHNY retained the invested assets supporting this block of business. The NY business related to variable universal life was reinsured through coinsurance and modified coinsurance. The NY business related to universal life was transferred from the Company to JHNY under coinsurance agreements.

The NY business related to a majority of the fixed deferred annuity business was transferred from the Company to JHNY under an assumption reinsurance agreement. The NY business related to variable annuities and some participating pension contracts where assets were held in separate accounts were reinsured through modified coinsurance. The NY business related to fixed deferred and immediate annuities and participating pension contracts was transferred from the Company to JHNY under a coinsurance agreement.

The Company reinsures certain portions of its long-term care insurance business with JHRECO through coinsurance funds withheld transactions. Under reinsurance treaties covering life insurance business, the Company cedes to JHRECO on a coinsurance funds withheld basis to the death benefits from the no-lapse guarantee on a small block of policies. The Company also reinsures a portion of the risk related to certain annuity policies and during 2013 a small number of these policies were recaptured for administration purposes. This recapture did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations. The reinsurance agreement is written on a modified coinsurance basis where the assets supporting the reinsured policies remain invested with the Company.

The Company’s total settlement amount was $489 million, $55 million, and $82 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and the settlement calculation consisted primarily of ceded investment income, ceded benefit payments and ceded statutory reserves.

The Company reinsures 87% of certain group annuity contracts in-force with MRBL. The reinsurance agreement covers all contracts, excluding the guaranteed benefit rider. As the underlying contracts being reinsured are considered investment contracts, the agreement does not meet the criteria for reinsurance accounting and was classified as a financial instrument.

The Company reinsures 90% of a significant block of variable annuity contracts in-force with MRBL. All substantial risks, including all guaranteed benefits, related to certain specified policies not already reinsured to third parties, are reinsured under the agreement. The base contracts are reinsured on a modified coinsurance basis, while the guaranteed benefit reinsurance coverage is apportioned in accordance with the reinsurance agreement provisions between modified coinsurance and coinsurance funds withheld. The assets supporting the reinsured policies remain invested with the Company. Since the inception of the treaty in 2008, several amendments have been enacted to refine certain aspects of the treaty. The net MRBL reinsurance recoverable includes the impact of ongoing reinsurance cash flows and is accounted for over the life of the underlying reinsured policies using assumptions consistent with those used to account for the underlying policies with changes to ceded reserves and cost of reinsurance recognized as a component of benefits to policyholders on the Statements of Operations. The Company paid / (received) from MRBL $1,907 million, ($1,174) million, and $259 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and the settlement consisted primarily of ceded investment income related to non-qualifying hedging strategies and changes in the modified coinsurance and coinsurance reserves.

The Company reinsures 90% of the non-reinsured risk of the JHLICO closed block. The reinsurance agreement is written on a modified coinsurance basis where the related financial assets remain invested with the Company. As the reinsurance agreement does not subject the reinsurer to the reasonable possibility of significant loss, it was classified as structured reinsurance and given deposit-type accounting treatment with only the reinsurance risk fee being reported in other operating costs and expenses in the Statements of Operations.

agreement during 2014 to simplify treaty administration and to modify the structure of the treaty to a modified coinsurance funds withheld structure.

On July 31, 2013, MFC signed an agreement to sell its life insurance business in Taiwan to CTBC Life Insurance Company (CTBC Life). Under the agreement, CTBC Life will assume all of the life insurance business related obligations. In connection with this transaction, on December 31, 2013, the Company paid $111 million in fees to an affiliate, Manufacturers Life Reinsurance Limited for the recapture of certain traditional life business reserves and net liabilities of $42 million, which resulted in a pre-tax loss of $69 million.

Non-Affiliated Reinsurance

The Company entered into a coinsurance agreement with Reinsurance Group of America (“RGA”) to reinsure 90% of its fixed deferred annuity business with an effective date of April 1, 2012. The transaction was structured such that the Company transferred the actuarial liabilities and related invested assets which included $387 million in cash and $5 billion in bonds and mortgage loans. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will maintain responsibility for servicing of the policies and managing some of the assets. The transaction resulted in a charge to pre-tax income of $257 million, which included a ceding commission paid of $218 million and a decrease of $123 million to statutory surplus.

On September 30, 2012, the Company entered into a transaction with Commonwealth Annuity and Life Insurance Company (“CWA”), in which CWA recaptured a block of universal life policies, with an effective date of July 1, 2012. The transaction included the transfer to CWA of $378 million in actuarial liabilities and $309 million of cash and policy loans. The transaction resulted in a gain to pre-tax income of $60 million which included a ceding commission received of $57 million and an increase of $33 million to statutory surplus.

On July 1, 2011, JHUSA entered into a sale of its Life Retrocession business by way of a coinsurance treaty with Pacific Life Insurance Company that resulted in the recognition of approximately $432 million deferred gain (net of deferred taxes) recorded to surplus. During 2013, JHUSA novated 95% of the underlying reinsurance agreements to Pacific Life Insurance Company. Based on this novation, the Company recorded a gain of $352 million to the Statements of Operations (pre-tax). In 2014, the Company completed the novation of the remaining 5% of the agreements and recorded $20 million to the Statements of Operations (pre-tax).

The Company has recorded a valuation allowance against specific general business tax credit carryforwards of $50 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. These tax credits were generated by the legacy JHFC group and are subject to the separate return limitation rules. These credits will not expire until 2019, however due to restrictions on the utilization, management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefit. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, management considered the future reversal of taxable temporary differences, future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences, taxable income in the carry back period, as well as tax planning strategies.

The Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax return of JHFC with the following entities:

 

Essex Corporation   John Hancock Real Estate Finance Inc.
Hancock Forest Management Inc.   John Hancock Realty Advisors Inc.
Hancock Natural Resource Group Inc.   John Hancock Realty Mgt. Inc.

In accordance with the income tax sharing agreements in effect for the applicable tax years, the Company’s income tax expense (benefit) is computed as if the Company filed separate federal income tax returns with tax benefits provided for operating losses and tax credits when utilized by the consolidated group. Intercompany settlements of income taxes are made through an increase or reduction to amounts due to or from affiliates. Such settlements occur on a periodic basis in accordance with the tax sharing agreements.

Taxes receivable from (payable to) affiliates are $728 million and ($137) million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and are included in current federal income taxes payable on the Balance Sheets.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and local jurisdictions. The Company is under continuous examination by the IRS. Effective for 2010, the Company’s common parent, JHFC, merged into Manulife Holdings (Delaware) LLC (“MHDLLC”) resulting in a new combined group. With respect to the legacy MHDLLC

consolidated return group, the IRS audit for tax years through 2009 have been closed. With respect to the legacy JHFC group, the IRS has completed its examinations of tax years 1997 through 2009. The IRS has issued statutory notices of deficiency relating to issues in years 1997 through 2004. JHFC filed a petition in U.S. Tax Court pertaining to leveraged leases to contest years 1997 to 2001 and the trial was completed in 2011 with final judgment entered on July 22, 2014. The IRS issued Revenue Agent Reports for tax years 2005 through 2009. Protests were filed with respect to disagreed issues. The IRS commenced its audit of tax years 2010 through 2013 in September 2014.

On August, 5, 2013, the U.S. Tax Court issued an opinion in the litigation between the Company and the IRS involving the tax treatment of certain leveraged lease investments. The Court’s opinion effectively ruled against the Company with respect to deductions claimed for tax years 1997 — 2001. The Company and the Internal Revenue Service are in the process of determining the impact of the decision on years subsequent to the years that were decided by the Court. The Company has made advance payments of tax and interest and is awaiting final IRS assessments. Although the Company is fully reserved for the taxes and interest that could be due, this decision may result in a decrease in the admissible book value of other deferred tax assets include in surplus in subsequent periods, absent consideration of further management actions.

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

 

     2014     2013  
  

 

 

 
     (in millions)  

Balance at beginning of year

       $ 2,715      $ 3,186   

Additions based on tax positions related to the current year

     49        150   

Payments

     (550     (90

Additions for tax positions of prior years

     23        59   

Reductions for tax positions of prior years

     (235     (590
  

 

 

 

Balance at end of year

       $   2,002      $   2,715   
  

 

 

 

Included in the balances as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, are $154 million and $149 million of unrecognized benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate. Included in the balances as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, are $1,848 million and $2,566 million of tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. Approximately $1,734 million and $2,281 million of such amounts at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, represent deferred tax liability balances related to leveraged lease deductions taken in prior year tax returns that were considered in determining the amount of deferred tax assets that can be admitted by offsetting such amounts against deferred tax liabilities. Excluding the effect of interest and penalties, this will have no impact on the annual effective rate, but would accelerate the payment of taxes to an earlier period.

The Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits may decrease in the next twelve months pending the outcome of remaining issues associated with the 2002 through 2009 IRS audit. A reasonable estimate of the decrease cannot be determined at this time however, the Company believes that the ultimate resolution will not result in a material change to its financial statements.

The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits and penalties in income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. The Company recognized approximately $9 million of interest expense, and $11 million, and $24 million of interest benefit for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company had approximately $209 million and $404 million accrued for interest as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company did not recognize any material amounts of penalties for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012.

10. Capital and Surplus

There are no restrictions placed on the Company’s unassigned surplus other than restrictions on dividend payments described below.

Under Michigan State insurance laws, no insurer may pay any shareholder dividends from any source other than statutory earned surplus without the prior approval of the Director. Dividends to the shareholder that may be paid without prior approval of the Director are limited by the laws of the State of Michigan. Such dividends are permissible if, together with

other dividends or distributions made within the preceding 12 months, they do not exceed the greater of 10% of the JHUSA surplus as of December 31 of the preceding year, or the net gain from operations excluding realized capital gains and (losses) for the 12 month period ending December 31 of the immediately preceding year. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company paid a dividend to its parent company MIC of $500 million and $300 million, respectively. The company paid no dividends for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Life/health insurance companies are subject to certain Risk-Based Capital (“RBC”) requirements as specified by the NAIC. Under those requirements, the amount of capital and surplus maintained by a life/health insurance company is to be determined based on the various risk factors related to it. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, based on calculations pursuant to those requirements, the Company’s total adjusted capital exceeds the company action level.

The Company has surplus notes described below in the amount of $991 million. The issuance of the surplus notes was approved by the insurance regulators with the following repayment conditions and restrictions: 1) interest payments may be made only with prior approval by the Insurance Department and 2) repayment of the principal due may be made only with the prior approval of the Insurance Department.

Surplus notes in the amount of $450 million were issued on February 25, 1994, for cash pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. 100% of the issued and outstanding surplus notes are represented by a global note registered in the name of a nominee of the Depository Trust Company. The interest rate is fixed at 7.375%, and interest is payable semi-annually. The notes mature on February 15, 2024. Interest expense was $33 million for years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012. Total interest paid through December 31, 2014 was $680 million.

Pursuant to a subordinated surplus note dated September 30, 2008, the Company issued two notes in the amount of $295 million and $110 million to an affiliate, John Hancock Insurance Agency, Inc. (“JHIA”). The interest rate is fixed at 7% per annum and is payable semi-annually. The notes mature on March 31, 2033. The combined interest expense on the notes was $29 million for years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012. Total interest paid through December 31, 2014 was $173 million.

Pursuant to an amended and restated subordinated surplus note dated September 30, 2008, the Company borrowed $136 million from JHFC. Interest is calculated and reset quarterly at a fluctuating rate equal to 3-month LIBOR plus 130 basis points and is payable semi-annually. The note matures on December 15, 2016. Interest expense was $2 million, $2 million, and $2 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Total interest paid through December 31, 2014 was $11 million.

Under Michigan State liquidation statutes, the claims of the Depository Trust Company, JHIA, and JHFC (“the surplus noteholders”) come before those of the Company’s shareholders. There is no preferential treatment in claims between the surplus noteholders.

11. Related Party Transactions

Service Agreements

Management believes the allocation methods used are reasonable and appropriate in the circumstances; however, the Company’s Balance Sheets and statements of operations may not necessarily be indicative of the financial condition that would have existed if the Company operated as an unaffiliated entity.

Other

During 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, the Company received dividends of $43 million, $297 million, and $274 million from John Hancock Investment Management Services LLC, $90 million, $98 million, and $96 million from JHD, $0 million, $0 million, and $0 million from JHNY, and $72 million, $0 million, and $0 million from John Hancock Subsidiaries, LLC (JHS). These dividends are included in the Company’s net investment income.

During 2014, the Company made a capital contribution of $3 million to JHS in exchange for one share of its common stock.

The Company did not own any shares of the stock of its parent, MIC, or its ultimate parent, MFC at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The Company did not recognize any impairment write-down for its investment in subsidiaries, controlled or affiliated companies for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Company operates a liquidity pool in which affiliates can invest excess cash. Terms of operation and participation in the liquidity pool are set out in the Second Restated and Amended Liquidity Pool and Loan Facility Agreement effective January 1, 2010. The maximum aggregate amounts that JHUSA can accept into the Liquidity Pool are $5 billion in U.S. dollar deposits and $200 million in Canadian dollar deposits. Under the terms of the agreement, certain participants may receive advances from the Liquidity Pool up to certain predetermined limits. By acting as the banker the Company can earn a spread over the amount it pays its affiliates and this aggregation and resulting economies of scale allows the affiliates to improve the investment return on their excess cash. Interest payable on U.S. dollar funds will be reset daily to the one-month U.S. Dollar London Inter-Bank Bid Rate (“LIBID”) and interest payable on Canadian dollar funds is based off the one-month Canadian Dollar Offering Rate (“CDOR”) plus a spread.

MFC’s guarantees of the market value adjusted deferred annuity contracts and SignatureNotes are unsecured obligations of MFC and are subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all other obligations of MFC, except for other guarantees or obligations of MFC, which by their terms are designated as ranking equally in right of payment with or subordinate to MFC’s guarantees of the market value adjusted deferred annuity contracts and SignatureNotes.

The Company also enters into debt and reinsurance transactions with its affiliates. Please refer to the debt and reinsurance notes for further details.

12. Commitments, Guarantees, Contingencies, and Legal Proceedings

If funded, loans related to real estate mortgages would be fully collateralized by related properties. Approximately 41% of these commitments expire in 2015 and the majority of the remainder expires by 2019.

Other than the Company’s investment real estate, the Company does not have any material sub-lease income related to its office space. Leasing of investment real estate is not a significant part of the Company’s business activities in terms of revenue, net income, or assets.

The Company’s investment in leveraged leases relates to equipment used primarily in the transportation industries; however, this type of leasing transaction is not a significant part of the Company’s business activities in terms of revenue, net income, or assets.

On December 23, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with New York Life under which John Hancock Retirement Plan Services, LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, will acquire New York Life’s Retirement Plan Services business. In addition, New York Life has agreed to assume, on a reinsurance basis, 60% of the Company’s in-force participating life insurance JHLICO closed block. Subject to the receipt of all necessary approvals and other customary closing conditions, the transaction is anticipated to close in the first half of 2015.

Guarantees: In the course of business, the Company enters into guarantees which vary in nature and purpose and which are accounted for and disclosed under statutory accounting principles.

The Company has issued guarantee agreements pursuant to which the Company guarantees the obligations of JHNY and JHLH under the OTC International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) cleared and exchange-traded

12. Commitments, Guarantees, Contingencies, and Legal Proceedings - (continued)

 

derivative agreements and transactions entered into by JHNY and JHLH with external counterparties. The ISDA guarantees are subject to an overall limit of $1 billion of Potential Future Exposure, using a three-week and 95% confidence parameters, in calculating the counterparty risk exposure.

The Company is party to a financial support agreement with JHLH pursuant to which it has agreed to maintain JHLH’s capital level such that its risk-based capital ratio shall be at or above 225% of the company action level annually. In addition, under the terms of the financial support agreement, the Company undertakes to provide sufficient liquidity to enable JHLH to make timely payment of its contractual obligations.

Contingencies: The Company is an investor in a number of leasing transactions. On August 5, 2013, the U.S. Tax Court issued an opinion effectively ruling in the government’s favor in the litigation between John Hancock and the Internal Revenue Service involving the tax treatment of John Hancock’s investments in certain leverage leases. The Company and the Internal Revenue Service are in the process of determining the impact of the decision on years subsequent to the years that were decided by the Court. Please refer to the federal income taxes note for further details. The Company has made advance payments of tax and interest and is awaiting final IRS assessments. Although the Company is fully reserved for the taxes and interest that could be due, this decision may result in a decrease in the admissible book value of other deferred tax assets included in surplus in subsequent periods, absent consideration of further management actions.

The Company acts as an intermediary/broker in OTC derivative instruments. In these cases, the Company enters into derivative transactions on behalf of affiliated companies and then enters into offsetting derivative transactions with the affiliate. In the event of default of either party, the Company is still obligated to fulfill its obligations with the other party.

The Company is subject to insurance guaranty fund laws in the states in which it does business. Pursuant to these laws, insurance companies are assessed, and required to make periodic payments, to be used to pay benefits to policyholders and claimants of insolvent or rehabilitated insurance companies. Many states allow these assessments to be credited against future premium taxes. The Company believes such assessments in excess of amounts accrued will not materially affect its financial position.

Legal Proceedings: The Company is regularly involved in litigation, both as a defendant and as a plaintiff. The litigation naming the Company as a defendant ordinarily involves its activities as a provider of insurance protection and wealth management products, an employer, and a taxpayer. In addition, the Michigan Department of Insurance and Financial Services, the Michigan Attorney General, the SEC, the Financial Regulatory Authority, and other government and regulatory bodies regularly make inquiries and, from time to time, require the production of information or conduct examinations concerning the Company’s compliance with, among other things, insurance laws, securities laws, and laws governing the activities of broker-dealers. An estimation of the range of potential outcomes in any given matter is often unavailable until such matters have developed and sufficient information emerges to support an assessment of the range of possible loss, such as quantification of a damage demand from plaintiffs, discovery from other parties and investigation of factual allegations, rulings by the court on motions or appeals, analysis by experts, and the progress of settlement negotiations. On a quarterly and annual basis, the Company reviews relevant information with respect to litigation contingencies and updates its accruals and estimates of reasonably possible losses or ranges of loss based on such reviews.

14. Separate Accounts

Separate accounts held by the Company include individual and group variable annuity and variable life products that offer guarantee and non-guaranteed returns. The net investment experience of the separate account is credited directly to the policyholder and can be positive or negative.

For guarantees of amounts in the event of death, the net amount at risk is defined as the excess of the initial sum insured over the current sum insured for fixed premium variable life insurance contracts, and, for other variable life insurance contracts, is equal to the sum insured when the account value is zero and the policy is still in force.

The deposits related to variable annuities generally provide a GMDB. For annuity products, this can take the form of either (a) return of no less than total deposits made to the contract less any partial withdrawals; (b) total deposits made to the contract less any partial withdrawals plus a minimum return; (c) the highest contract value on a specified anniversary date minus any withdrawals following the contract anniversary; or (d) a combination benefit of (b) and (c) above. The assets and liabilities of these accounts are carried at fair value. The GMDB reserve is held in the Company’s general account policy reserves.

The Company sold contracts with Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (“GMIB”) riders from 1998 to 2004. The GMIB rider provides a guaranteed lifetime annuity which may be elected by the contract holder after a stipulated waiting period (7 to 15 years), and which may be larger than what the contract account balance could purchase at then-current annuity purchase rates.

The Company sold contracts with a GMWB rider and has since offered multiple variations of this optional benefit. The GMWB rider provides contract holders a guaranteed annual withdrawal amount over a specified time period or in some cases for as long as they live. In general, guaranteed annual withdrawal amounts are based on deposits and may be reduced if withdrawals exceed allowed amounts. Guaranteed amounts may also be increased as a result of “step-up” provisions which increase the benefit base to higher account values at specified intervals. Guaranteed amounts may also be increased if withdrawals are deferred over a specified period. In addition, certain versions of the GMWB rider extend lifetime guarantees to spouses.

Reinsurance has been utilized to mitigate risk related to some of the GMDB and GMIB riders.

For GMDB, the net amount at risk is defined as the current guaranteed minimum death benefit in excess of the current account balance. For GMIB, the net amount at risk is defined as the excess of the current annuitization income base over the current account value. For GMWB, the net amount at risk is defined as the current guaranteed withdrawal amount minus the current account value. For all the guarantees, the net amount at risk is floored at zero at the single contract level.

The deposits related to the variable life insurance contracts are invested in separate accounts and the Company guarantees a specified death benefit if certain specified premiums are paid by the policyholder, regardless of separate account performance.

Actuarial Guideline XLIII (AG43) is used in both years to determine the aggregate reserve for products falling under the scope. Assumptions used in the standard scenario are prescribed by the guideline. Assumptions used in the stochastic scenarios are detailed below.

 

   

The stochastically generated projection scenarios have met the scenario calibration criteria prescribed in AG43.

 

   

In 2014 and 2013, annuity mortality is based on the Ruark Variable Annuity Table, which is based on an industry study of variable annuity deaths. The table is further adjusted by factors varied by rider types (living benefit/GMDB only) and qualified and non-qualified business.

In 2014 and 2013, annuity base lapse rates vary by product, policy year, and rider type, where the lapse rates range from 0.5% to 40% for GMDB, GMIB and GMWB. These rates are dynamically reduced for guarantees that are in-the-money. Beginning in 2012, rates are also dynamically increased for GMWBs that are out-of-the-money.

 

   

For variable annuities, the swap curve at December 31 is used for discounting in both years.

 

   

For variable annuities, mean return, volatility and correlation assumptions are determined by indices, which have met the calibration criteria prescribed in AG43.

Account balances of variable contracts with guarantees were invested in various separate accounts with the following characteristics:

15. Employee Benefit Plans

Retirement Plans: The Company participates in the John Hancock Pension Plan, a qualified defined benefit plan that covers substantially all of its employees. The Company also participates in the John Hancock Non-Qualified Pension Plan, a nonqualified defined benefit plan for employees whose qualified cash balance benefit is restricted by the Internal Revenue Code. Both plans are sponsored by MIC. The non-qualified defined benefit plan was frozen except for grandfathered participants as of January 1, 2008, and the benefits accrued under this plan continue to be subject to the plan’s provisions.

The Company is jointly and severally liable for the funding requirements of the plans and will recognize its allocation, from MIC, of the required contributions to the plans as pension expense in its Statements of Operations. The allocation is derived by utilizing participant data, provided by the plan actuary, to calculate payments into the trust for the qualified plan and payments to participants for the non-qualified plan. The expense for these plans was $37 million, $41 million, and $57 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Company participates in the John Hancock Supplemental Retirement Plan, a non-qualified defined contribution plan maintained by MFC, which was established as of January 1, 2008 with participant directed investment options. The expense for this plan was not material for the years ended 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The prior non-qualified defined contribution plan was frozen except for grandfathered participants as of January 1, 2008, and the benefits accrued under the prior plan continue to be subject to the prior plan provisions.

The Company also maintains a separate rabbi trust for the purpose of holding assets to be used to satisfy its obligations with respect to certain other non-qualified retirement plans of $332 million and $344 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In the event of insolvency of the Company, the rabbi trust assets can be used to satisfy claims of general creditors.

401 (k) Plans: The Company participates in qualified defined contribution plans for its employees who meet certain eligibility requirements. These plans include the Investment-Incentive Plan for John Hancock Employees and the John Hancock Savings and Investment Plan. Both plans are sponsored by JHUSA. Expense is primarily comprised of the amounts the Company contributes to the plans, which fully matches eligible participants’ basic pre-tax or Roth contributions, subject to a 4% per participant maximum. The expense for the defined contribution plans was not material for the years ended 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Deferred Compensation Plan: The Company maintains the Deferred Compensation Plan for Certain Employees of John Hancock, and the Deferred Compensation Plan of the John Hancock Financial Network, both of which are deferred compensation plans sponsored by MFC. These plans are for a select group of management or highly compensated employees and certain qualified agents. The plans are fully funded and accounts are maintained by a third-party administrator. Under these plans, participants have the flexibility and opportunity to invest their plan balances in mutual funds. The liability for these plans at December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $91 million and $88 million, respectively.

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company offered the Legacy Deferred Compensation Plan for Certain Employees of John Hancock Life Insurance Company (USA), the legacy plan, which is closed to new participation and is unfunded. These are notional accounts and all liabilities have remained with the Company and are paid out of general account assets when a distribution is taken. The liability for this plan was not material as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 respectively.

Postretirement Benefit Plan: The Company participates in the John Hancock Employee Welfare Plan which is sponsored by MIC. Consistent with the pension plan, the Company is jointly and severally liable for the funding requirements of the plan and will recognize its allocation, from MIC, of the benefits earned by plan participants as postretirement benefits expense in its Statements of Operations. The allocation is derived by utilizing participant data, provided by the plan actuary, to calculate the benefits earned; i.e., service cost, relating to participants employed by the Company. In addition, any difference between actual cash paid for benefits to plan participants and benefits earned is recorded directly to unassigned surplus. The expense and charge to surplus for the John Hancock Employee Welfare Plan were not material for the years ended 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The notes payable balance as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $411 million and $644 million, respectively. Interest ranging from 3.1% to 6.0% is due in varying amounts to 2032.

Aggregate maturities of consumer notes are as follows: 2015-$146 million; 2016-$64 million; 2017-$4 million; 2018-$43 million; 2019-$16 million; and thereafter $138 million.

Interest expense on consumer notes, included in benefits to policyholders, was $24 million, $30 million, and $ 36 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Interest paid amounted to $24 million, $30 million, and $ 36 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Affiliated Debt: Pursuant to a demand note receivable dated September 30, 2008, the Company has $295 million outstanding with MIC. The note, which was to have matured on March 31, 2013, was extended to March 31, 2018. This note was reported as a nonadmitted asset at December 31, 2014 and 2013 since the counterparty is the parent entity of the Company; however, this note will continue to accrue interest throughout the duration of the contract as per the terms of the note. Prior to March 31, 2013, the interest rate was calculated at a fluctuating rate equal to 3-month LIBOR plus 83 basis points per annum. Following the extension, the interest rate is calculated at a fluctuating rate equal to 3-month LIBOR plus 180 basis points per annum. Interest income was $6 million, $6 million, and $4 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Company has a demand note receivable dated March 2, 2009 with John Hancock Leasing Corporation (“JH Leasing”) that allows it to loan a minimum principal of $125,000 or an amount in excess in increments of $5,000. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had amounts receivable from JH Leasing of $0 million and $3 million, respectively.

Pursuant to a promissory note dated June 28, 2012, the Company borrowed $153 million from Manulife Finance Switzerland AG (“MFSA”). Interest on the loan is calculated at a fluctuating rate equal to 3-month LIBOR plus 90 basis points per annum and is payable quarterly. In addition, the Company renewed two previously outstanding promissory notes to MFSA with an outstanding balance of $7 million and combined these notes with the new note issued on June 28, 2012, thus bringing the total principal balance due to $160 million. On May 23, 2014, the maturity date was extended for a period of one year to June 28, 2015. Following the extension, the interest rate was amended and is calculated at a fluctuating rate equal to 3-month LIBOR plus 88 basis points per annum and is payable quarterly effective from June 28, 2014. Interest expense was $2 million, $2 million, and $1 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

17. Closed Blocks

The Company operates two separate closed blocks for the benefit of certain classes of individual or joint traditional participating whole life insurance policies. The JHUSA closed block was established upon the demutualization of MLI for those designated participating policies that were in-force on September 23, 1999. The JHLICO closed block was established upon the demutualization of JHLICO for those designated participating policies that were in-force on February 1, 2000. As a result of the merger in 2009, the property and obligations of the JHLICO closed block became the property and obligations of JHUSA, but the Company operates these two closed blocks separately.

Assets were allocated to the closed blocks in an amount that, together with anticipated revenues from policies included in the closed blocks, was reasonably expected to be sufficient to support such business, including provision for payment of benefits, direct asset acquisition and disposition costs, taxes, and for continuation of dividend scales, assuming experience underlying such dividend scales continues.

Assets allocated to the closed blocks inure solely to the benefit of policyholders included in the closed blocks and will not revert to the benefit of the shareholders of the Company. In addition, if the assets allocated to the closed blocks and the revenues from the closed blocks’ business prove to be insufficient to pay the benefits guaranteed in the closed blocks, the Company will be required to make payments from its general funds in an amount equal to the shortfall.

If, over time, the aggregate performance of the assets and policies of a closed block is better than was assumed in funding that closed block, dividends to policyholders for that closed block will be increased. If, over time, the aggregate performance of the assets and policies of a closed block is less favorable than was assumed in funding that closed block, dividends to policyholders for that closed block will be reduced.

17. Closed Blocks - (continued)

 

No reallocation, transfer, borrowing, or lending of assets can be made between the closed blocks and other portions of the Company’s general account, any of its separate accounts, or any affiliate of the Company without prior notification to or approval of the Insurance Department.

The excess of the closed blocks’ liabilities over the closed blocks’ assets represents the expected future post-tax contribution from that closed block which may be recognized in income over the period the policies and contracts in that closed block remain in force.

The following table sets forth certain summarized financial information relating to the JHUSA and JHLICO closed blocks. The JHLICO assets and liabilities exclude the impact of the transfer of the NY business (described in the Reinsurance Note), consistent with the Closed Block Annual Statement filed with the State of Michigan.

John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) Separate Account H

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2014

1. Organization

John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) Separate Account H (the “Account”) is a separate account established by John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) (the “Company”). The Account operates as a Unit Investment Trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended and is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies. The Account consists of 126 active sub-accounts which are exclusively invested in a corresponding portfolio of the John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”), and 5 sub-accounts that are invested in portfolios of other Non-affiliated Trusts (the “Non-affiliated Trusts”). The Trust is registered under the Act as an open-ended management investment company, commonly known as a mutual fund, which does not transact with the general public. The Account is a funding vehicle for the allocation of net premiums under variable annuity contracts (the “Contracts”) issued by the Company.

The Company is a stock life insurance company incorporated under the laws of Michigan in 1979. The Company is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Manulife Financial Corporation (“MFC”), a Canadian based publicly traded life insurance company. MFC and its subsidiaries are known collectively as Manulife Financial.

The Company is required to maintain assets in the Account with a total fair value of at least equal to the reserves and other liabilities relating to the variable benefits under all Contracts participating in the Account. These assets may not be charged with liabilities which arise from any other business the Company conducts. However, all obligations under the Contracts are general corporate obligations of the Company.

In addition to the Account, certain contract owners may also allocate funds to the fixed account, which is part of the Company’s general account. Because of exemptive and exclusionary provisions, interests in the fixed account have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, and the Company’s general account has not been registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Net interfund transfers include transfers between separate and general accounts.

Each sub-account holds shares of a particular series (“Portfolio”) of a registered investment company. Sub-accounts that invest in Portfolios of the Trust may offer 4 classes of units to fund Contracts issued by the Company. These classes, Series I, Series II, Series III and Series NAV, represent an interest in the same Trust Portfolio, but in different classes of that Portfolio. Series I, Series II, Series III and Series NAV shares of the Trust Portfolio differ in the level of 12b-1 fees and other expenses assessed against the Portfolio’s assets.

As a result of a portfolio change, the following sub-accounts of the Account were renamed as follows:

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from reported results using those estimates.

Valuation of Investments

Investments made in the Portfolios of the Trust, and of the Non-affiliated Trusts, are valued at fair value based on the reported net asset values of such Portfolios. Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Income from dividends, and gains from realized gain distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses on the sales of investments are computed on a first-in, first-out basis.

Net Assets in Payout (Annuitization) Period

A portion of net assets is allocated to annuity policies in the payout period. The liability for these policies is calculated using statutory accounting using mortality assumptions and an assumed interest rate. Mortality assumptions are based on the Individual Annuity Mortality Table in effect at the time of annuitization. The assumed interest rate is 3% to 4%, as regulated by the laws of the respective states. The mortality risk is borne entirely by the Company and may result in additional amounts being transferred into the variable annuity account by the Company to cover greater longevity of annuitants than expected. Conversely, if amounts allocated exceed amounts required, transfers may be made to the Company.

Amounts Receivable/Payable

Receivables/Payables from/to Portfolios/the Company are due to unsettled contract transactions (net of asset-based charges) and/or subsequent/preceding purchases/sales of the respective Portfolios’ shares. The amounts are due from/to either the respective Portfolio and/or the Company for the benefit of contract owners. There are no unsettled policy transactions at December 31, 2014.

 

3.

Federal Income Taxes

The Account does not file separate tax returns. The taxable income of the Account is consolidated with that of the Company within the consolidated federal tax return. Any tax contingencies arising from the taxable income generated by the Account is the responsibility of the Company and the Company holds any and all tax contingencies on its financial statements. The Company’s consolidated federal tax return for the prior fiscal years remain open subject to examination by the internal revenue service. The Account is not a party to the consolidated tax sharing agreement thus no amount of income taxes or tax contingencies are passed through to the Account. The legal form of the Account is not taxable in any state or foreign jurisdictions.

The income taxes topic of the FASB Accounting Standard Codification establishes a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of positions taken, or expected to be taken, in filing tax returns (including whether the Account is taxable in certain jurisdictions). The topic requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as tax expense or benefit.

The Account complies with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. As of December 31, 2014, the Account did not have a liability for any uncertain tax positions. The Account recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations and Changes in Contract Owners’ Equity.

4. Transactions with Affiliates

The Company has an administrative services agreement with Manulife Financial, whereby Manulife Financial or its designee, with the consent of the Company, performs certain services on behalf of the Company necessary for the operation of the Account. John Hancock Investment Management Services, LLC (“JHIMS”), a Delaware limited liability company controlled by MFC, serves as investment adviser for the Trust.

John Hancock Distributors LLC, a registered broker-dealer and wholly owned subsidiary of JHUSA, acts as the principle underwriter of the Contracts pursuant to a distribution agreement with the Company. Contracts are sold by registered representatives of either John Hancock Distributors LLC or other broker-dealers having distribution agreements with John Hancock Distributors LLC.

Certain officers of the Account are officers and directors of JHUSA or the Trust.

Contract charges, as described in Note 9, are paid to the Company.

5. Fair Value Measurements

Accounting Standards Codification 820 (“ASC 820”) “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” provides a single definition of fair value for accounting purposes, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the value 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; that is, an exit value. An exit value is not a forced liquidation or distressed sale.

Following ASC 820 guidance, the Account has categorized its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used by the Account’s valuation techniques. A level is assigned to each fair value measurement based on the lowest level input significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

 

Level 1 – Fair value measurements that reflect unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Account has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

 

Level 2 – Fair value measurements using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly.

 

 

Level 3 – Fair value measurements using significant non market observable inputs.

All of the Account’s sub-accounts’ investments in a Portfolio of the Trust were valued at the reported net asset value of the Portfolio and categorized as Level 1 as of December 31, 2014. The following table presents the Account’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis by fair value hierarchy level under ASC 820, as of December 31, 2014:

 

     Mutual Funds  

Level 1

   $ 42,169,608,982   

Level 2

     —     

Level 3

     —     
  

 

 

 
   $ 42,169,608,982   
  

 

 

 

Assets owned by the Account are primarily open-ended mutual fund investments issued by the Trust. These are classified within Level 1, as fair values of the underlying funds are based upon reported net asset values (“NAV”), which represent the values at which each sub-account can redeem its investments.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfer in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Transfers between investment levels may occur as the availability of a price source or data used in an investment’s valuation changes. Transfers between investment levels are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period. There have been no transfers between any level of fair value measurements during the period ended December 31, 2014.

7. Unit Values — (continued):

 

(a)

As the unit fair value is presented as a range of minimum to maximum values, based on the product grouping representing the minimum and maximum expense ratio amounts, some individual contract unit values are not within the ranges presented.

 

(b)

These ratios represent the annualized contract expenses of the variable account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to policyholder accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying Portfolio are excluded.

 

(c)

These ratios, which are not annualized, represent the distributions from net investment income received by the sub-account from the underlying Portfolio, net of management fees assessed by the portfolio manager, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that are assessed against policyholder accounts either through the reductions in the unit values or the redemptions of units. The recognition of investment income by the sub-account is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying Portfolio in which the sub-accounts invest.

 

(d)

These ratios, which are not annualized, represent the total return for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying Portfolio, and expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values. These ratios do not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units. Investment options indicated in footnote 1 with a date notation, if any, denote the effective date of that investment option in the variable account. The total return is calculated for the period indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. For closed sub-accounts, the total return is calculated from the beginning of the reporting period to the date the sub-account closed. As the total return is presented as a range of minimum to maximum values, based on the product grouping representing the minimum and maximum expense ratio amounts, some individual contract total returns are not within the ranges presented.

 

(e)

Sub-account that invests in non-affiliated Trust.

 

(f)

Reflects the period from commencement of operations on December 9, 2013 through December 31, 2013.

 

(g)

(k)

8. Diversification Requirements

The Internal Revenue Service has issued regulations under Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code (“the Code”). Under the provisions of Section 817(h) of the Code, a Contract will not be treated as a variable annuity contract for federal tax purposes for any period for which the investments of the Account on which the contract is based are not adequately diversified. The Code provides that the “adequately diversified” requirement may be met if the underlying investments satisfy either a statutory safe harbor test or diversification requirement set forth in regulations issued by the Secretary of the Treasury. The Company believes that the Account satisfies the current requirements of the regulations, and the Account will continue to meet such requirements.

9. Contract Charges

The expense ratio represents the contract expenses of the Account for the period indicated and includes only those expenses that are charged through a reduction of the unit value. Included in this category are mortality and expense charges, and the cost of any riders the policy holder has elected. These fees range between 0.35% and 2.10% of net assets of the sub-account depending on the type of contract. In addition, annual contract charges of up to $30 per policy are made through redemption of units.

Item 26. Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with Depositor or Registrant.

Registrant is a separate account of John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) (the “Company”), operated as a unit investment trust. Registrant supports benefits payable under the Company’s variable annuity contracts by investing assets allocated to various investment options in shares of John Hancock Trust (the “Trust”), which is a “series” type of mutual fund registered under the

Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”) as an open-end management investment company. The purchasers of variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts, in connection with which the Trust is used, will have the opportunity to instruct the Company with respect to the voting of the shares of the Series Fund held by Registrant as to certain matters. Subject to the voting

instructions, the Company directly controls Registrant.

On the effective date of this Amendment to the Registration Statement, JHFS and its subsidiaries are controlled by Manulife Financial Corporation (“MFC”). A list of other persons controlled by MFC as of December 31, 2014 appears below:

Item 27. Number of Contract Owners.

As of February 28, 2015, there were 40 qualified contracts and 0 non-qualified contracts of the series offered hereby outstanding.

 

Item 28. Indemnification.

Article XIV of the Restated Articles of Redomestication of the Company provides as follows:

No director of this Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its shareholders or policyholders for monetary damages for breach of the director’s fiduciary duty, provided that the foregoing shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director for any of the following:

 

  i) a breach of the director’s duty or loyalty to the Corporation or its shareholders or policyholders;

 

  ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law;

 

  iii) a violation of Sections 5036, 5276 or 5280 of the Michigan Insurance Code, being MCLA 500.5036, 500.5276 and 500.5280;

 

  iv) a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit; or

 

  v) an act or omission occurring on or before the date of filing of these Articles of Incorporation.

If the Michigan Insurance Code is hereafter amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of directors. then the liability of a director of the Corporation, in addition to the limitation on personal liability contained herein, shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Michigan Insurance Code as so amended. No amendment or repeal of this Article XIV shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director of the Corporation for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to the effective date of any such amendment or repeal.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Registrant hereby makes the following undertaking pursuant to Rule 484 under the Securities Act of 1933:

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event 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.

 

Item 29. Principal Underwriters.
