Fund Merger

Putnam Investment Management, LLC (“Putnam Management”), the fund’s investment manager, has recommended, and the fund’s Board of Trustees has approved, the merger of Putnam VT Voyager Fund (the “Acquired Fund”) into Putnam VT Growth Opportunities Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”). Pursuant to the merger, the Acquired Fund will liquidate by transferring substantially all of its assets to the Acquiring Fund. Shares of the Acquired Fund will be closed to all new and subsequent investments, including program trades, effective as of the close of business on or about July 13, 2016. The merger is scheduled to take place at the close of business on or about July 15, 2016.

Due to the merger, you will no longer be able to allocate new Premium Payments or make transfers to the Acquired Fund Sub-Account, including program trades, as of the close of business on or about July 13, 2016.

As a result of the merger, on or about July 15, 2016:

If any of your Contract Value is currently invested in the Acquired Fund Sub-Account, that Contract Value will be merged into the Acquiring Fund Sub-Account;
(ii)
If any portion of your future Premium Payments is allocated to the Acquired Fund Sub-Account, that portion will now be allocated to the Acquiring Fund Sub-Account.
(iii)
Any transaction that includes an allocation to the Acquired Fund Sub-Account will automatically be allocated to the Acquiring Fund Sub-Account;
