Proposed Reorganization Plans
With regard to each reorganization, if a Reorganization Plan is approved, you will no longer be able to allocate new Premium Payments or make transfers to the applicable Merging Fund Sub-Account, including program trades, on or after the close of business on April 28, 2016.

Effective as of the close of business on or about April 29, 2016, for each Reorganization Plan that is approved:

all assets and liabilities of a Merging Fund Sub-Account will be transferred into the corresponding Acquiring Fund Sub-Account;

Shareholders of each Merging Fund Sub-Account will receive shares of the same class of the Acquiring Fund Sub-Account that are equal in value to the shares of the Merging Fund Sub-Account held by the shareholder;

If any of your Contract Value is invested in any of the Merging Fund Sub-Accounts that Contract Value will be automatically merged into the corresponding Acquiring Fund Sub-Account;

If any portion of your future Premium Payments is allocated to a Merging Fund Sub-Account, you may redirect that allocation to another Sub-Account available under your Contract;

any transaction that includes an allocation to a Merging Fund Sub-Account will automatically be allocated to the corresponding Acquiring Fund Sub-Account; and

unless you direct us otherwise, if you are enrolled in any Automatic Income, DCA, DCA Plus, InvestEase®, Asset Rebalancing Program or other administrative program that includes transfers of Contract Value or allocation to a Merging Fund Sub-Account, your enrollment will automatically be updated to reflect the corresponding Acquiring Fund Sub-Account.

For each Reorganization Plan that is approved, effective on or about the close of business on April 29, 2016, all references and information contained in the prospectus for your Contract related to a Merging Fund Sub-Account are deleted and replaced with the corresponding Acquiring Fund Sub-Account.
