M’S VERSATILE PRODUCT®- SURVIVORSHIP II PROSPECTUS MAY 1, 2024

M’s Versatile Product – Survivorship II is a last survivor flexible premium variable universal life insurance policy issued by Pacific Life Insurance Company (“Pacific Life”) through the Pacific Select Exec Separate Account of Pacific Life.

 Flexible premium means you can vary the amount and frequency of your premium payments. You must, however, pay enough premiums to cover the ongoing costs of Policy benefits.

 Variable means the Policy’s value depends on the performance of the Investment Options you choose.

 Universal life insurance means you can accumulate cash value and the Policy provides a Death Benefit to the Beneficiary you choose.

 Last survivor means the Policy insures the lives of two people and provides a Death Benefit payable after both people have died.

SPECIAL TERMS

In this prospectus, you or your mean the policyholder or Owner. Pacific Life, we, us or our refer to Pacific Life Insurance Company. Policy means M’s Versatile Product – Survivorship II variable universal life insurance policy, unless we state otherwise.

We have tried to make this prospectus easy to read and understand, but you may find some words and terms that are new to you. We have identified some of these below.

If you have any questions, please ask your financial professional or call us at (800) 347-7787. In order to sell this product, a financial professional must be a properly licensed and appointed life insurance producer.

Accumulated Value – the total amount of your Policy’s value allocated to the Variable Investment Options and any available Fixed Options, plus the amount in the Loan Account, on any Business Day.

Beneficiary – the person, people, entity or entities you name to receive the Death Benefit Proceeds.

Business Day – any day that the New York Stock Exchange and our Consumer Markets Division are open. It usually ends at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. A Business Day is also called a valuation day in your Policy.

Cash Surrender Value – the Policy’s Accumulated Value less any surrender charge.

Cash Value Accumulation Test – one of two Death Benefit Qualification Tests available under the Policy, and defined in Section 7702(b) of the Tax Code.

Class – a subgroup of Insureds determined by a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the Death Benefit, Face Amount, Policy Date, policy duration, the Insureds' Age and Risk Class, and the presence of optional riders and benefits.

Code or Tax Code – is the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Coverage – insurance coverage on the Insureds as provided by the Policy or other attached Riders.

Coverage Layer – refers separately to the initial Total Face Amount and any increase in Face Amount on the Insureds.

Death Benefit – the amount which is payable on the date of the Survivor's death.

Death Benefit Proceeds – the amount which is payable to the Beneficiary on the date of the Survivor's death, adjusted as provided in the Policy.

Death Benefit Qualification Test – either the Cash Value Accumulation Test or the Guideline Premium Test. This test determines what the lowest Minimum Death Benefit should be in relation to a Policy’s Accumulated Value. Each test available under the Policy is defined in Section 7702 of the Tax Code.

Face Amount – the amount of insurance Coverage on the Insureds provided by the Policy Coverage or Rider Coverage, as shown in the Policy Specifications and any related Supplemental Schedule of Coverage. The Face Amount is subject to increase or decrease as provided elsewhere in the Policy.

Fixed Account the Fixed Account– an account that is part of our General Account. Net Premiums and Accumulated Value under the Policy may be allocated to this account for accumulation at a fixed rate of interest declared by us. This account may earn a lower declared interest rate and has more flexible allocation rules than the Fixed LT Account.

Fixed Accumulated Value – the total amount of your Policy’s value allocated to the Fixed Accounts.

Fixed LT Account – an account that is part of our General Account. Net Premiums and Accumulated Value under the Policy may be allocated to this account for accumulation at a fixed rate of interest declared by us. This account may earn a higher declared interest rate but has stricter allocation rules than the Fixed Account.

Fixed Options – consist of one or more Fixed Accounts available under this policy, and are part of our General Account. The Fixed Accounts available as of the Policy Date are the Fixed Account and the Fixed LT Account. Net premiums and Accumulated Value under this policy may be allocated to one or more Fixed Accounts.

4


Fund – one of the funds providing underlying portfolios for the Variable Investment Options offered under the Policy.

General Account – includes all of our assets, except for those held in the Separate Account, or any of our other separate accounts.

Grace Period – a 61-day period, beginning on the date we send you, and anyone to whom you have assigned your Policy, notice that your Policy’s Accumulated Value less Policy Debt is insufficient to pay the Monthly Deduction. The Grace Period gives you 61 days in which to pay sufficient premium to keep your Policy In Force and prevent your Policy from lapsing.

Guideline Premium Limit – the maximum amount of premium or premiums that can be paid for any given Face Amount in order to qualify the Policy as life insurance for tax purposes as specified in the Guideline Premium Test.

Guideline Premium Test – one of two Death Benefit Qualification Tests available under the Policy, and defined in Section 7702(a)(2) of the Tax Code.

Illustration – a display of hypothetical future Policy benefits based on the assumed Age and Risk Class of an Insured, Face Amount of the Policy, Death Benefit Option, premium payments, any Rider requested, and historical or hypothetical gross rate(s) of return.

In Force – the Policy is in effect and provides a death benefit on the Survivor.

In Proper Form – is when we will process your requests once we receive all letters, forms or other necessary documents, completed to our satisfaction. In Proper Form may require, among other things, a notarized signature or some other proof of authenticity that is required for us to act on a Written Request. We do not generally require such proof, but we may ask for proof if it appears that your signature has changed, if the signature does not appear to be yours, if we have not received a properly completed application or confirmation of an application, or for other reasons to protect you and us. Call us or contact your financial professional if you have questions about the In Proper Form requirement for a request.

Insured – a person on whose life the Policy is issued. Collectively referred to as the Insureds.

Investment Option – consist of the Variable Options, any available Fixed Options, and any additional investment options that may be added.

Loan Account – an account which holds amounts transferred from the Investment Options as collateral for Policy loans.

Loan Accumulated Value – the total amount of your Policy’s Accumulated Value allocated to the Loan Account.

Minimum Death Benefit – is based on the Death Benefit Qualification Test for the Policy and at any time will be no less than the minimum amount we determine to be required for this Policy to qualify as life insurance under the Code.

Modified Endowment Contract – a type of life insurance policy as described in Section 7702A of the Tax Code, which receives less favorable tax treatment on distributions of cash value than conventional life insurance policies. Classification of a Policy as a Modified Endowment Contract is generally dependent on the amount of premium paid during the first seven Policy Years, or after a material change has been made to the Policy.

Monthly Deduction – an amount that is deducted monthly from your Policy’s Accumulated Value on the Monthly Payment Date until the Monthly Deduction End Date. The Monthly Deduction is the sum of the cost of insurance charge, the administrative charge, the Coverage charge, the asset charge, and any charge for optional Riders and benefits.

Monthly Deduction End Date – the Policy Anniversary on and after which we do not deduct a monthly charge. The Monthly Deduction End Date for your Policy is shown in the Policy Specifications and does not change for the life of the Insureds. This date is the Policy Anniversary when the younger Insured attains age 121.

Monthly Payment Date – the day we deduct monthly charges from your Policy’s Accumulated Value. The first Monthly Payment Date is your Policy Date, and it is the same day each month thereafter.

Net Accumulated Value – the Accumulated Value less any Policy Debt.

Net Amount At Risk – the difference between the Death Benefit payable if the Insureds died and the Accumulated Value of your Policy. We use a Net Amount At Risk to calculate the Cost of Insurance Charge. For Cost of Insurance Charge purposes, the Net Amount At Risk is equal to the Death Benefit as of the most recent Monthly Payment Date divided by 1.0020598, reduced by the Accumulated Value of your Policy.

Net Cash Surrender Value – the Cash Surrender Value less any Policy Debt.

Net Premium – premium paid less any premium load deducted.

Net Single Premium – the amount of premium needed to fund future benefits under the Policy as specified in the Cash Value Accumulation Test.

5


Policy Anniversary – the same day as your Policy Date every year after we issue your Policy.

Policy Debt – the amount in the Loan Account, plus any interest you owe.

Policy Specifications – summarizes information specific to your Policy at the time the Policy is issued. We will send you updated Policy Specification pages or supplemental schedules if you change your Policy’s Face Amount or any of the Policy’s other benefits.

Policy Year – starts on your Policy Date and each Policy Anniversary, and ends on the day before the next Policy Anniversary.

Riders – provide extra benefits, some at additional cost. Any optional Rider which offers additional life insurance Coverage on both Insureds will have an initial Face Amount and any increase may also referred to as a “Coverage Layer”.

Risk Class – is determined during the underwriting process and is used to determine certain Policy charges. The Risk Class of each Insured is shown in the Policy Specifications. The Risk Class of each Insured for any additional coverage added after issue will be shown in the Supplemental Schedule of Coverage.

Separate Account – the Pacific Select Exec Separate Account, a separate account of ours registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Supplemental Schedule of Coverage – is the written notice that will be sent to the last known Address on Record, or by other means where permitted, reflecting certain changes made to your Policy after the Policy Date.

Survivor – the living Insured after one of the Insureds dies.

Total Face Amount – the sum of Face Amount of Policy Coverage and the Face Amounts of any Riders providing insurance coverage on the Insureds, unless specifically excluded.

Variable Account – a subaccount of the Separate Account which invests in shares of a corresponding underlying Fund.

Policy Lapse

Your Policy remains In Force as long as you have sufficient Net Accumulated Value to cover your Policy’s monthly deductions of Policy charges. Insufficient premium payments, poor investment performance, withdrawals, and unpaid loans or loan interest may cause your Policy to lapse – which means no death benefit will be paid. There are costs associated with reinstating a lapsed Policy and there is no guarantee that a reinstatement will be approved..

RESTRICTIONS

LOCATION IN PROSPECTUS

  

Investments

Not all Investment Options may be available to you.

Transfers between Investment Options are generally limited to 25 each calendar year. Transfers to or from a Variable Investment Option cannot be made before the seventh calendar day following the last transfer to or from the same Variable Investment Option. Additional Fund transfer restrictions apply. There is a $25 fee per transfer in excess of 12 transfers per Policy Year. We do not currently impose this charge.

Under the Fixed Options, there are frequency, amount and/or percentage limits on the amount that may be transferred into or out of the Fixed Options. These limits are significantly more restrictive than those that apply to transfers into or out of the Variable Investment Options. It may take several Policy Years to transfer your Accumulated Value out of either of the Fixed Options to the Variable Investment Options. Additional Fixed Option transfer restrictions apply.

Certain Funds may stop accepting additional investments into their Fund or may liquidate a Fund. In addition, if a Fund determines that excessive trading has occurred, they may limit your ability to continue to invest in their Fund for a certain period of time.

We reserve the right to remove, close to new investment, or substitute Funds as Investment Options.

Your selection of certain optional Riders may result in restrictions on some Policy benefits. Not all riders are available in every state. We may stop offering an optional benefit at any time for new Policy purchases.

Investment Professional Compensation

Some financial professionals may receive compensation for selling this Policy to you in the form of commissions, additional cash compensation, and non-cash compensation. We may also provide additional payments in the form of cash, other special compensation or reimbursement of expenses to the financial professional’s selling broker dealer. These financial professionals may have a financial incentive to offer or recommend this Policy over another investment.

Distribution Arrangements

Exchanges

Some financial professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a new policy in place of the one you already own.

You should only exchange your policy if you determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both policies, that it is preferable for you to purchase the new policy rather than continue to own the existing policy.

OVERVIEW OF THE POLICY

Purpose

The primary purpose of the Policy is to provide life insurance death benefit protection and flexibility for premium payments, and investment selections to meet your specific life insurance needs. This Policy may be appropriate if you are looking to provide a death benefit for family members or others. Discuss with your financial professional whether this Policy, its optional benefits and its Investment Options are appropriate for you, taking into consideration your age, income, net worth, tax status, insurance needs, financial objectives, investment goals, liquidity needs, time horizon, risk tolerance and relevant information. Together you can decide if this Policy is right for you. Also, before you purchase this Policy, you may request a personalized illustration of your hypothetical future benefits under the Policy based on your personal characteristics (e.g. age and risk class), Face Amount of your Policy, Death Benefit Option, Death Benefit Qualification Test, planned periodic premium, any Rider requested, and historical or hypothetical gross rate(s) of return.

Premiums

After you pay the first premium payment, the Policy gives you the flexibility to choose the amount and frequency of your additional premium payments within certain limits. You may schedule your premium payments, referred to as planned periodic premium, on an annual, semi-annual, quarterly, or monthly basis. You are not required to pay any planned premiums. However, payment of insufficient premiums may result in a lapse of the Policy. There is no guarantee that your Policy will not lapse even if you pay your planned premium. Your Policy will lapse if the Accumulated Value, less Policy Debt, is not enough to cover the monthly charge on the day we make the deduction. If this occurs, your Policy will enter its Grace Period. The Grace Period is 61 days from the date we send you a notice that explains the sufficient amount to pay to keep your Policy In Force. During the Grace Period, your Policy will remain In Force and continue to provide a death benefit. If sufficient premium has not been made within the Grace Period, your Policy will lapse. You should consider a periodic review of your coverage with your financial professional. This Policy offers a rider that provides no-lapse protection for a certain period if rider conditions are met. See the Short-Term No-Lapse Guarantee Rider in the OTHER BENEFITS AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY section. Also see the Lapsing and Reinstatement section in this prospectus.

Your net premium payments may be allocated to Variable Investment Options (each of which invests in a corresponding Fund) and/or Fixed Options which provide a guaranteed minimum interest rate.

Additional information about the Funds is provided in the APPENDIX: FUNDS AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY section in this prospectus.

Federal tax law puts limits on the premium payments you can make in relation to your Policy’s Death Benefit. We may refuse all or part of a premium payment you make, or remove all or part of a premium from your Policy and return it to you under certain circumstances, for example, if the amount of premium you paid would result in your Policy no longer qualifying as life insurance or becoming a Modified Endowment Contract under the Tax Code.

Policy Features

Death Benefit

While the Policy is In Force, we will pay death benefit proceeds to the Beneficiary upon the death of the Insured. The death benefit proceeds equal the death benefit plus any additional benefit provided by a rider less any outstanding loan or unpaid Policy charges. You may choose between three Death Benefit Options:

 Option A – the Total Face Amount of the Policy,

 Option B – the Total Face Amount of the Policy plus the Accumulated Value, or

 Option C – the Total Face Amount of the Policy plus the total premiums that have been paid, less any withdrawals or distributions that reduce your Accumulated Value.

Policy charges vary depending on which Death Benefit Option or Death Benefit Qualification Test is selected.

Withdrawals

You can withdraw part of the Accumulated Value starting on your Policy’s first anniversary (no withdrawals may be made during the first year of the Policy but the Policy may be surrendered during the first year). Each withdrawal must be at least $200 and after a withdrawal, the remaining Accumulated Value less any loan amount must be at least $500. Making a withdrawal may have tax consequences, increase the risk of the Policy lapsing, and reduce Policy values and the Death Benefit. Withdrawals may also be subject to a charge of $25 per withdrawal, but we are not currently imposing this charge.

Surrender

You can surrender your Policy at any time while the Insured is alive. Any outstanding loan, loan interest, or surrender charge will be deducted and surrender proceeds will be paid in a single lump sum check. Upon surrender, you will have no life insurance coverage or benefits under this Policy. The surrender proceeds, or a portion of, may be subject to tax consequences, including a possible tax

9


penalty on Modified Endowment Contract policies for certain situations including, but not limited to surrendering a policy owned by a natural person(s) before age 59 ½. Please consult your tax advisor.

Loans

You can borrow money from us any time after the Free Look Transfer Date to gain access to the Accumulated Value in the Policy. The maximum amount available to borrow is less than 100% of your Accumulated Value. Generally, the minimum amount you can borrow is $200. See the APPENDIX: STATE LAW VARIATIONS section in this prospectus for a list of state variations to the minimum loan amount. Loans may have tax consequences. A loan is available based on the Accumulated Value allocated to any of the Investment Options. When you borrow money from us, we use your Policy’s Accumulated Value as security. You pay interest on the amount you borrow which is due on your Policy Anniversary. The Accumulated Value set aside to secure your loan is transferred to a Loan Account which earns interest daily. Taking out a loan, whether or not you repay it, will affect the growth of your Policy’s Accumulated Value since the amount used to secure the loan will not participate in the investment experience of the Investment Options. Amounts held in the Loan Account are not available to pay any Policy charges. Taking out a loan may increase the risk of the Policy lapsing, and could reduce the amount of the Death Benefit.

Optional Benefits

The Policy offers the following Investment Option transfer services at no additional cost: dollar cost averaging, portfolio rebalancing, first year transfer, and the Fixed Option interest sweep. You may only participate in one transfer service at any time. You can find additional information about the transfer services in the OTHER BENEFITS AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY section in this prospectus.

The Policy offers several riders (some for an additional charge) that provide supplemental benefits under the Policy. Any charges associated with each rider are presented in the FEE TABLES section below. You can find additional information about the Riders in the OTHER BENEFITS AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY and OPTIONAL RIDERS AND BENEFITS sections in this prospectus. Speak with your life insurance producer or contact us to determine which Riders were added to your Policy.

1 This charge is not deducted on and after your Policy’s Monthly Deduction End Date.

2 Cost of insurance rates apply uniformly to all members of the same Class. The cost of insurance charges shown in the table may not be typical of the charges you will pay. Your Policy Specifications will indicate the guaranteed cost of insurance charge applicable to your Policy, and more detailed information concerning your cost of insurance charges is available on request from your life insurance producer or us. Also, before you purchase the Policy, you may request personalized illustrations. The maximum guaranteed cost of insurance rates for your Policy will be stated in the Policy Specifications and calculated per $1.00 of Coverage Layer.

3 Charges shown for this sample Policy may not be typical of the charges you will pay.

4 The Coverage charge rate is based on the Age and Risk of the Insureds and the Face Amount on the Policy Date or date Rider is effective. It also varies with the Death Benefit Option you choose. Each Coverage Layer will have a corresponding Coverage charge related to the amount of the increase, based on the Age and Risk Class of the Insureds at the time of the increase. Ask your life insurance producer for information regarding this charge for your Policy. The maximum guaranteed Coverage charge for your Policy will be stated in the Policy Specifications.

5 In addition to the loan interest charge, the Loan Accumulated Value that is used to secure Policy Debt will be credited interest at a minimum of 2.50%. Interest on the Loan Account and Policy Debt accrues daily. On each Policy Anniversary, we transfer the excess of the Policy Debt over Loan Accumulated Value from the Investment Options to the Loan Account. If the Loan Accumulated Value is greater than Policy Debt, then such excess is transferred from the Loan Account to the Investment Options.

6 Riders are briefly described under OPTIONAL RIDERS AND BENEFITS. Except for the Short-Term No Lapse Guarantee Rider, Rider charges are based on the Age and Risk Class of the person insured under the Rider on the effective date of the Rider. Ask your life insurance producer for information on optional Rider charges for your Policy. The charges for any optional benefit Riders you add to your Policy will be stated in the Policy Specifications.

7 The Coverage charge per $1,000 of Coverage Layer for this sample Policy is $0.03/month in Policy Year 1, and increases each year to the following amounts: $0.14/month in Policy Year 2, $0.24 per month in Policy Year 3, $0.35/month in Policy Year 4, $0.46/month in Policy Year 5, $0.57/month in Policy Year 6,

$0.68/month in Policy Year 7, $0.79/month in Policy Year 8, $0.90/month in Policy Year 9, $1.01/month in Policy Year 10. In Policy Year 11 and thereafter, the maximum guaranteed charge is reduced to $0.33/month per $1,000 of Coverage Layer.

8 The Coverage charge per $1,000 of Coverage Layer for this sample Policy is $0.59/month in Policy Years 1-10. In Policy Year 11 and thereafter, the maximum guaranteed Coverage charge is reduced to $0.25/month per $1,000 of Coverage Layer

9 The maximum guaranteed charge is level in all Policy Years. The current charge is level for 10 Policy Years from the effective date of the Coverage Layer and then reduces to zero.

The next item shows the minimum and maximum total operating expenses charged by the Fund that you pay periodically during the time that you own the Policy.

PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE POLICY

Risk of Loss

You can lose money by investing in this Policy, including loss of principal and previous earnings. The Policy is not a deposit or obligation of, or guaranteed or endorsed by any bank. It is not federally insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Federal Reserve Board, or any other government agency.

Unsuitable as Short-Term Savings Vehicle (Surrender and Withdrawal Risk)

This Policy is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. The Policy is designed to provide a death benefit. The Policy may be inappropriate for you if you do not have the financial ability to keep it in force for a substantial period of time.

This Policy may not be the right kind of policy if you plan to withdraw money or surrender your Policy for short-term needs. Withdrawals cannot be take until after first year of the Policy and may be subject to withdrawal charges. A withdrawal will reduce your Accumulated Value and may significantly reduce the value of the death benefit or benefit riders under the Policy, potentially by more than the amount withdrawn, and could even terminate a benefit rider. Withdrawals may also significantly increase the risk of lapse.

Surrender charges reduce the Cash Surrender Value of your Policy. Surrender charges apply for up to 10 years after Policy issue and each Coverage Layer added to the Policy. A surrender or withdrawal may be subject to negative tax consequences.

Please discuss your insurance needs and financial objectives with your life insurance producer. Together you can decide if the Policy is right for you. We are a variable life insurance policy provider. We are not a fiduciary and therefore do not give advice or make recommendations regarding insurance or investment products.

Policy Lapse

Your Policy remains In Force as long as you have sufficient Net Accumulated Value to cover your Policy’s monthly deductions of Policy charges. Insufficient premium payments, fees and expenses, poor investment performance, withdrawals, and unpaid loans or loan interest may cause your Policy to lapse – which means no death benefit or other benefits will be paid. There are costs associated with reinstating a lapsed Policy. There is no guarantee that your Policy will not lapse even if you pay your planned periodic premium. You should consider a periodic review of your coverage with your life insurance producer.

Before your Policy lapses, there is a Grace Period. The Grace Period gives you 61 days to pay enough additional premium to keep your Policy In Force and to prevent your Policy from lapsing. The 61-day period begins on the date we send notice that your Policy’s Accumulated Value less any Policy Debt is not enough to pay the total monthly charge.

The Policy may be eligible for the Short-Term No-Lapse Guarantee Rider that may help prevent the Policy from Lapsing. See the Short-Term No-Lapse Guarantee Rider in the OTHER BENEFITS AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY section in this prospectus.

If the Policy lapses, you have three years from the end of the Grace Period to apply for reinstatement. Evidence of insurability is required when you apply for reinstatement and there is no guarantee that reinstatement will be approved. The costs associated with reinstating a lapsed Policy include sufficient net premium to:

 cover all due and unpaid monthly deductions and loan interest charges that accrued during the Grace Period;

 keep the Policy in force for three months after the date of reinstatement, and

 cover any negative accumulated value if there was a policy loan or other outstanding debt at the time of lapse.

14


If the Policy is reinstated, the same Risk Class in use at the time of lapse will apply to the reinstated Policy.

Limitations on Access to Accumulated Value through Withdrawals

Withdrawals under the Policy are available starting on the first Policy Anniversary. Each withdrawal must be at least $200. We will not accept a withdrawal request if the withdrawal will cause the Policy to become a Modified Endowment Contract (MEC), unless you have told us in writing that you desire to have your Policy become a MEC. See the Tax Implications section below for additional information on MECs.

Risks Associated with Variable Investment Options

You should consider the Policy’s investment as well as its costs. Your investment is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the Variable Investment Options you have chosen. Each Variable Investment Option will have its own unique risks. The value of each Variable Investment Option will fluctuate with the value of the investments it holds, and returns are not guaranteed. You can lose money by investing in the Policy, including loss of principal. You bear the risk of any Variable Investment Options you choose. You should read each Fund prospectus carefully before investing. You can obtain a Fund prospectus by contacting your life insurance producer or by visiting https://www.pacificlife.com/home/products/life-insurance/variable-universal-life-insurance/prospectuses-and-other-reports.html. No assurance can be given that a Fund will achieve its investment objectives.

Risks Associated with Policy Loans

When you borrow money from your Policy, we use your Policy’s Accumulated Value as security. You pay interest, which accrues at the Loan Account Charge Interest Rate, on the amount you borrow. Accrued interest is due on your Policy Anniversary. The Accumulated Value set aside to secure your loan is transferred to a Loan Account which earns interest daily at the Loan Account Credit Interest Rate. Taking out a loan, whether or not you repay it, will affect the growth of your Policy’s Accumulated Value since the amount used to secure the loan will not participate in the investment experience of the Investment Options, will not be available to pay any Policy charges, may increase the risk of the Policy lapsing, and could reduce the amount of the Death Benefit.

Risks Associated with Fixed Options

Under the Fixed Options, there are frequency, amount and/or percentage limits on how much may be transferred from the Fixed Options. These limits are significantly more restrictive than those that apply to transfers out of the Variable Investment Options and it may take several Policy Years to transfer your Accumulated Value out of either of the Fixed Options to Variable Investment Options. Such restrictions on transfers from the Fixed Options may prevent you from reallocating your Accumulated Value at the times and in the amounts that you desire and may result in lower investment performance than if you allocated to Variable Investment Options. See the YOUR INVESTMENT OPTIONS – Transferring Among Investment Options and Market-timing Restrictions section in this prospectus. We declare the annual interest rate for the Fixed Options at our discretion, subject to a guaranteed minimum interest rate. You bear the risk that we will not declare an interest rate greater than the guaranteed minimum.

Insurance Company Risks

Investment in the Policy is subject to the risks related to us, and any obligations (including under any Fixed Options), guarantees, or benefits are backed by our claims paying ability and financial strength. You must look to our strength with regard to such guarantees.

Tax Implications

We believe the Policy meets the statutory definition of life insurance for federal income tax purposes. We do not know whether the current treatment of life insurance policies under current federal income tax, estate, or gift tax laws will continue. We also do not know if the current interpretations of the laws by the IRS or the courts will remain the same. Also, future legislation may adversely change the tax treatment of life insurance policies.

Death benefits from a life insurance policy may generally be excluded from income under the Tax Code. Also, you generally are not subject to taxation on any increase in the Accumulated Value until it is withdrawn. You may be subject to income tax if you take withdrawals or surrender your Policy, or if your Policy lapses and you have not repaid any outstanding Policy Debt. If your Policy becomes a MEC, distributions you receive beginning on the date the Policy becomes a MEC may be subject to tax and a 10% penalty.

Cybersecurity and Business Continuity Risks

Our business is highly dependent upon the effective operation of our computer systems and those of our business partners. As a result, our business is potentially susceptible to operational and information security risks associated with the technologies, processes and practices designed to protect networks, systems, computers, programs and data from attack, damage or unauthorized access. These risks include, among other things, the theft, loss, misuse, corruption and destruction of data maintained online or digitally, denial of service on websites and other operational disruption, and unauthorized release of confidential customer information. Cyber-attacks affecting us, any third-party administrator, the underlying Funds, intermediaries, and other affiliated or third-party service providers may adversely affect us and your Policy Accumulated Value. For instance, cyber-attacks may interfere with Policy transaction processing, including the processing of orders from our website or with the underlying Funds; impact our ability to calculate Accumulated Unit Values, Subaccount Unit Values or an underlying Fund to calculate a net asset value; cause the release and possible destruction of confidential customer or business information; impede order processing; subject us and/or our service providers and

15


intermediaries to regulatory fines and financial losses; and/or cause reputational damage. Cybersecurity risks may also impact the issuers of securities in which the underlying Funds invest, which may cause the Funds underlying your Policy to lose value. The constant change in technologies and increased sophistication and activities of hackers and others, continue to pose new and significant cybersecurity threats. While measures have been developed that are designed to reduce cybersecurity risks, there can be no guarantee or assurance that we, the underlying Funds, or our service providers will not suffer losses affecting your Policy due to cyber-attacks or information security breaches in the future.

We are also exposed to risks related to natural and man-made disasters or other events, including (but not limited to) earthquakes, fires, floods, storms, epidemics and pandemics (such as COVID-19), terrorist acts, civil unrest, malicious acts and/or other events that could adversely affect our ability to conduct business. The risks from such events are common to all insurers. To mitigate such risks, we have business continuity plans in place that include remote workforces, remote system and telecommunication accessibility, and other plans to ensure availability of critical resources and business continuity during an event. Such events can also have an adverse impact on financial markets, U.S. and global economies, service providers, and Fund performance for the Funds available through your Policy. There can be no assurance that we, the Funds, or our service providers will avoid such adverse impacts due to such events and some events may be beyond control and cannot be fully mitigated or foreseen.

POLICY BASICS

M’s Versatile Product – Survivorship II is a last survivor flexible premium variable life insurance policy that insures the lives of two people and pays Death Benefit Proceeds after both people have died.

When you buy a M’s Versatile Product – Survivorship II life insurance Policy, you are entering into a contract with Pacific Life Insurance Company. Your contract with us is made up of your application, your Policy, applications to change or reinstate the Policy, any amendments, Riders or endorsements to your Policy, and Policy Specifications.

Issuing the Policy

Your life insurance producer will assist you in completing your application for the Policy. Your life insurance producer’s broker-dealer firm has up to 7 business days to review the application before it is sent to us. If we approve your application, we will issue your Policy. If your application does not meet our underwriting and administrative requirements, we can reject it or ask you for more information. When your Policy is sent to you, you will be asked to sign a policy delivery receipt. For Policy delivery status, check with your life insurance producer.

Our obligations to you under the Policy begin when it is In Force. We consider your Policy In Force when the following requirements are met:

 All necessary contractual and administrative requirements are met, and

 We receive and apply the initial premium to the Policy.

If there are any outstanding contractual or administrative requirements that prevent your Policy from being placed In Force, your life insurance producer will review them with you no later than when the Policy is delivered. See HOW PREMIUMS WORK – Your Initial Premium for more information.

Your Policy will be In Force until one of the following happens:

 The Survivor under the Policy dies

 The Grace Period expires and your Policy lapses, or

 You surrender your Policy.

If your Policy is not In Force when the Survivor dies, we are not obligated to pay the Death Benefit Proceeds to your Beneficiary.

Owners, the Insured, and Beneficiaries

Owners

You can own a Policy by yourself or with someone else. You need the signatures of all Owners for all Policy transactions.

If one of the Joint Owners dies, the surviving Owner will hold all rights under the Policy. If the Owner or the last Joint Owner dies, his or her estate will own the Policy unless you have given us other instructions.

You can change the Owner of your Policy by completing a Change of Owner Form. Please contact us or your financial professional for a Change of Owner Form. Once we receive and record your request, the change will be effective as of the day you signed the Change of Owner Form. You should consult your financial professional or legal counsel about designating ownership interests.

The Insureds

This Policy insures the lives of two people who are between the Ages of 20 and 90 at the time you apply for your Policy, and who have given us satisfactory evidence of insurability. The Policy pays Death Benefit Proceeds after the Survivor dies.

Each Insured is assigned an underwriting or insurance Risk Class which we use to calculate cost of insurance and other charges. We normally use the medical or paramedical underwriting method to assign underwriting or insurance Risk Classes, which may require a medical examination.

When we use a person’s Age in Policy calculations, we generally use his or her Age as of the nearest Policy Date, and we add one year to this Age on each Policy Anniversary. For example, when we talk about someone “reaching Age 100”, we are referring to the Policy Anniversary closest to that person’s 100th birthday, not to the day when he or she actually turns 100.

Beneficiaries

Here are some things you need to know about naming Beneficiaries:

 You can name one or more primary Beneficiaries who each receive an equal share of the Death Benefit Proceeds unless you tell us otherwise. If one Beneficiary dies, his or her share will pass to the surviving primary Beneficiaries in proportion to the share of the Death Benefit Proceeds they’re entitled to receive, unless you tell us otherwise.

 You can also name one or more contingent Beneficiaries. If no primary Beneficiaries survive the Insured, then the Death Benefit Proceeds will be distributed to each contingent Beneficiary equally, unless you tell us otherwise.

17


 You can choose to make your Beneficiary permanent (sometimes called irrevocable). You cannot change a permanent Beneficiary’s rights under the Policy without his or her permission.

If no Beneficiary (primary or contingent) is living when the Death Benefit Proceeds are payable, you, as the Policy Owner, will receive the Death Benefit Proceeds. If you are no longer living, the Death Benefit Proceeds will go to your estate.

You can change your Beneficiary at any time while either Insured is alive, and while the Policy is In Force. If you would like to change your Policy’s Beneficiary, please contact us or your financial professional for a Change of Beneficiary Form. Once we receive and record your request, the change will be effective as of the day you signed the Change of Beneficiary Form.

Policy Date

Your Policy Date

This is the date upon which life insurance coverage under the Policy becomes effective. It is also the beginning of your first Policy Year. Your Policy’s monthly, quarterly, semi-annual and annual anniversary dates are based on your Policy Date.

The Policy Date is set so that it never falls on the 29th, 30th or 31st of any month.

You or your financial professional may request that multiple applications have the same Policy Date and be placed In Force on a common date. For multilife or employer sponsored cases, please contact your financial professional for additional details.

Backdating your Policy

You can have your Policy backdated up to 6 months, as long as we approve it.

Backdating in some cases may lower your cost of insurance rates since these rates are based on the Age of the Insureds. Your first premium payment must cover the premium load and monthly charges for the period between the backdated Policy Date and the day your Policy is issued.

Re-dating your Policy

Once your Policy is issued, you may request us to re-date your Policy. This means your Policy will have a new Policy Date. Re-dating will only be allowed back to the date money is received on your Policy, and can be the earlier of:

 The date your Policy is delivered to you and you paid initial premium, or

 The date we received the initial premium, if earlier than the delivery date.

If your delivery date is the 29th, 30th or 31st of any month, the Policy will be dated the 28th of that month.

If the Policy is re-dated, no Policy charges will be deducted for any period during which Coverage was not provided under the terms of the Policy and all Policy charges will be calculated from the new Policy Date. There will be no Coverage before the new Policy Date.

It may be disadvantageous to request that the Policy be re-dated. A new Policy Date may cause an Insured’s Age for insurance purposes to change and the cost of insurance rates to increase. It will also affect events based on time elapsed since Policy Date, such as suicide and contestable clauses and surrender charge periods.

We will not re-date Policies that are issued with a temporary insurance premium. Policies with the Policy Date pre-determined under an employer or corporate sponsored plan may not be eligible to re-date.

Illustrations

We will provide you with Illustrations based on different sets of assumptions upon your request.

 Illustrations based on information you give us about the Age of the people to be insured by the Policy, their Risk Class, the Face Amount of all Coverage Layers, the Death Benefit Option, planned periodic premium payments, and any Rider requested.

 Illustrations that show the allocation of premium payments to specified Variable Accounts. These will reflect the expenses of the Fund in which the Variable Account invests.

 Illustrations used for Policy Issues that use a hypothetical gross rate of return up to 12% are available.

 Illustrations used after your Policy is In Force use both historical and hypothetical rates.

You can request such Illustrations at any time. Such Illustrations reflect assumptions about the Policy’s non-guaranteed elements and about how you will use the Policy’s options. Over time the Policy’s actual non-guaranteed elements, and your actual use of the Policy’s options, are likely to vary from the assumptions used in such Illustrations. For these reasons, actual Policy values will likely be more or less favorable than shown in such Illustrations. You can get one Policy Illustration free of charge per Policy Year. We reserve the right to charge $25 for each additional Illustration.

Your Free Look Right

Your Policy provides a free look period once the Policy is delivered to you and you sign the Policy delivery receipt. During the free look period, you have the Free Look Right to cancel (or refuse) your Policy and return it with instructions to us or your life insurance

18


producer for a refund. The amount refunded may be more or less than the premium payments you have made and the length of the free look period may vary, depending on the state where you signed your application and the type of policy you purchased.

You will find a complete description of the free look period that applies to your Policy on the Policy’s cover sheet or on a notice that accompanies it. Generally, the free look period ends 10 days after you receive your Policy, but in some states, the free look is different. See APPENDIX: STATE LAW VARIATIONS for a list of state variations to the free look period. Some states may also have a different free look period if you are replacing another life insurance policy. Please call us or your life insurance producer if you have questions about your Free Look Right.

We will allocate any premium payments we receive during the free look period in accordance with the requirements of the state in which your Policy was issued. In states that require us to return all premiums paid, your initial Net Premium will be allocated to the Fidelity VIP Government Money Market Variable Account and will remain there during the entire free look period. At the end of the free look period, your premiums will be allocated to the Variable Investment Options you selected. In states that do not require us to return all premiums paid, your initial Net Premium will be applied to the Variable Investment Options you selected.

If your Policy was issued in a state that requires us to refund your premium, the amount of the refund is the greater of premium payments received during the Free-Look Period or the Policy’s Accumulated Value, plus any Policy charges and fees deducted, less Policy debt. If your Policy was issued in a state that does not require us to refund your premium, the amount we return to you will include:

 Any charges or taxes we have deducted from your premiums;

 The Net Premiums allocated to the Fixed Options;

 The Accumulated Value allocated to the Variable Investment Options; and

 Any monthly fees and charges we have deducted from your Policy’s Accumulated Value in the Variable Investment Options.

The amount of your refund may be more or less than the premium payments you have made, depending on the state in which your Policy was issued. See APPENDIX: STATE LAW VARIATIONS for information on which states do or do not require refund of premiums paid.

California Policies

For Policies issued in the state of California, the Policy’s free look period is 30 days from date of delivery as of the Policy effective date if:

 An individual Policyowner is Age 60 or older; or

 The Policyowner is either a Guardian, a Custodian or an Individual Trust, and the Insured is age 60 and over.

During the 30-day free look period, we will hold the Net Premiums in the Fidelity® VIP Government Money Market Variable Account. On the day following the end of the 30-day free look period, we will automatically transfer the Accumulated Value in the Fidelity® VIP Government Money Market Variable Account to the Investment Options you chose. This automatic transfer to your Investment Option allocation choices is excluded from the transfer limitations described later in this prospectus. If you exercise your Free Look Right during the 30-day free look period, we will refund the greater of premium payments received during the Free-Look period or the Policy’s Accumulated Value, plus any Policy charges and fees deducted, less any Policy Debt. You may specifically direct that, during the 30-day free look period, all Net Premiums received by us be immediately allocated to the Investment Options according to your most recent allocation instructions. You may do this:

 On your application

 In writing any time prior to the end of the 30-day free look period.

If you specifically request your Net Premiums be immediately allocated to the Investment Options, and you exercise your Free Look Right during the 30-day free look period, the amount of your refund may be more or less than the premium payments you have made. Your refund will be calculated as of the day we or your life insurance producer receive your request and the Policy. The refund will be:

 Any charges or taxes we have deducted from your premiums

 The Net Premiums allocated to the Fixed Options

 The Accumulated Value allocated to the Variable Investment Options

 Any monthly charges and fees we have deducted from your Policy’s Accumulated Value in the Variable Investment Options.

Timing of Payments, Forms and Requests

Effective date

Once your Policy is In Force, the effective date of payments, forms and requests you send us is usually determined by the day and time we receive the item In Proper Form.

When we make payments and transfers

We will normally send the proceeds of withdrawals, loans, surrenders, exchanges and Death Benefit payments, and process transfer requests, within seven days after the effective date of the request In Proper Form. We may delay payments and transfers, or the calculation of payments and transfers based on the value in the Variable Investment Options under unusual circumstances, for example, if:

20


 The New York Stock Exchange closes on a day other than a regular holiday or weekend

 Trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted

 An emergency exists as determined by the SEC, as a result of which the sale of securities is not practicable, or it is not practicable to determine the value of a Variable Account’s assets, or

 The SEC permits a delay for the protection of Policy Owners.

We may delay transfers and payments from the Fixed Options, including the proceeds from withdrawals, surrenders and loans, for up to six months. We will pay interest at an annual rate of at least 2.50% on any withdrawals or surrender proceeds from the Fixed Options that we delay for 10 days or more.

Death Benefit Proceeds paid are subject to the conditions and adjustments defined in other Policy provisions, such as General Provisions, Withdrawals, Policy Loans, and Timing of Payments. We will pay interest on the Death Benefit Proceeds from the date of death at a rate not less than the rate payable for funds left on deposit. If payment of Death Benefit Proceeds is delayed more than 31 calendar days after we receive the above requirements needed to pay the claim, we will pay additional interest at a rate of 10% annually beginning with the 31st calendar day. Death Benefit Proceeds are paid as a lump sum unless you choose another payment method, as described in GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR POLICY – Income Benefit. Contact us, your life insurance producer, or refer to your Policy or Rider to determine if state specific differences apply.

Statements and Reports We Will Send You

We send the following statements, reports, and other documents and notifications to policy owners:

 A confirmation for certain financial transactions, usually including premium payments, transfers, loans, loan repayments, withdrawals and surrenders. Monthly deductions and scheduled transactions made under the dollar cost averaging, portfolio rebalancing and first year transfer services are reported on your quarterly Policy statement.

 A quarterly Policy statement. The statement will tell you the Accumulated Value of your Policy by Investment Options, Cash Surrender Value, the amount of the Death Benefit, the Policy’s Face Amount, and any Policy Debt. It will also include a summary of all transactions that have taken place since the last quarterly statement, as well as any other information required by law.

 An annual Policy statement. The report will provide the same information as the quarterly Policy statement (e.g. Accumulated Value, Cash Surrender Value, etc.) but will include a summary of all transactions that have taken place since the last annual Policy statement.

 Supplemental schedules of benefits and planned periodic premiums. We will send these to you if you change your Policy’s Face Amount or change any of the Policy’s other benefits.

 Other documents and notifications as required by law.

If you identify an error on a confirmation, quarterly or annual statement, you must notify us in writing as soon as possible, preferably within 90 days from the date of the confirmation or statement, to ensure proper accounting to your Policy. When you write us, include your name, Policy number and description of the identified error.

Mail will be sent to you at the mailing address you have provided. If mail is returned to us as undeliverable multiple times, we will discontinue mailing to your last known address. We will, however, regularly attempt to locate your new mailing address, and will resume mailing your policy related materials to you upon confirmation of your new address. You can access the statements referenced above through the Policy Owner website, My Life Insurance Account at https://Life.MyAccount.PacificLife.com, or receive copies of documents from us upon request.

 We may use any reasonable method to confirm that your telephone or electronic instructions are genuine. For example, we may ask you to provide personal identification or we may record all or part of the telephone conversation. We may refuse any transaction request made by telephone or electronically.

 A new Transaction Authorization Form will be required when a registered representative changes to a new Broker-Dealer.

We will send you a written confirmation of each telephone and electronic transaction.

Sometimes, you may not be able to make loans or transfers by telephone or electronically, for example, if our telephone lines or our website are busy because of unusual market activity or a significant economic or market change, or our telephone lines or the Internet are out of service during severe storms or other emergencies or due to operational disruptions. In these cases, you can send your request to us in writing, or call us when service has resumed.

When you authorize us to accept your telephone and electronic instructions, you agree that:

 We can accept and act upon instructions you or anyone you appoint give us over the telephone or electronically

 Neither we, any of our affiliates, the Pacific Select Fund, or any director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of ours or theirs will be liable for any loss, damages, costs or expenses that result from transactions processed because of a request by telephone or submitted electronically that we believe to be genuine, as long as we have followed our own procedures

 You bear the risk of any loss that arises from your right to make loans or transfers over the telephone or electronically.

DEATH BENEFITS

The Death Benefit

We will pay Death Benefit Proceeds to your Beneficiary after the Survivor dies while the Policy is still In Force. Your Beneficiary generally will not have to pay federal income tax on Death Benefit Proceeds.

Your Policy’s Death Benefit depends on three choices you must make:

 The Total Face Amount

 The Death Benefit Option

 The Death Benefit Qualification Test

The Policy’s Death Benefit is the higher of:

1. The Death Benefit calculated under the Death Benefit Option in effect; or

2. The Minimum Death Benefit according to the Death Benefit Qualification Test that applies to your Policy.

Certain Riders may impact the Policy’s Death Benefit, see Optional Riders and Benefits.

The Face Amount

Your Policy’s initial amount of insurance Coverage is its initial Face Amount. We determine the Face Amount based on instructions provided in your application.

The minimum Total Face Amount when a Policy is issued is usually $100,000, but we may reduce this in some circumstances. You will find your Policy’s Total Face Amount, which includes any increases or decreases, in the Policy Specifications in your Policy.

Changing the Face Amount

You can increase or decrease your Policy’s Face Amount starting on the first Policy Anniversary as long as we approve it. If you change the Face Amount, we will send you a supplemental schedule of benefits and premiums.

 You can change the Face Amount as long as at least one Insured is still living.

 You can only change the Face Amount once in any Policy Year.

 You must send us your Written Request while your Policy is In Force.

 Unless you request otherwise, the change will become effective on the first Monthly Payment Date on or after we receive and approve your request.

 Increasing the Face Amount may increase the Death Benefit, and decreasing the Face Amount may decrease the Death Benefit. The amount the Death Benefit changes will depend, among other things, on the Death Benefit Option you have chosen and whether, and by how much, the Death Benefit is greater than the Face Amount before you make the change.

 Changing the Face Amount can affect the Net Amount At Risk, which affects the cost of insurance charge. An increase in the Face Amount may increase the cost of insurance charge, while a decrease may decrease the charge.

 If your Policy’s Death Benefit is equal to the Minimum Death Benefit, and the Net Amount At Risk is more than three times the Death Benefit on the Policy Date, we may reduce the Death Benefit by requiring you to make a withdrawal from your Policy. If we require you to make a withdrawal, the withdrawal may be taxable. We will not charge you a withdrawal fee for these withdrawals. Please turn to WITHDRAWALS, SURRENDERS AND LOANS for information about making withdrawals.

 We can refuse your request to make the total Face Amount, including any Riders, less than $100,000. We can waive this minimum amount in certain situations, such as group or sponsored arrangements.

Increasing the Face Amount

Here are some additional things you should know about requesting an increase in the Face Amount under the Policy:

 Both Insureds must be alive and Age 90 or younger at the time of the increase.

 You must give us satisfactory evidence of insurability for both Insureds.

 Each increase you make to the Face Amount must be $25,000 or more.

 We may charge you a fee of up to $200 for each increase. We deduct the fee on the day the increase is effective from all of your Investment Options in proportion to the Accumulated Value you have in each Investment Option.

 Each increase in Face Amount will have an associated cost of insurance rate, Coverage charge and surrender charge. Any cost or charge changes will take effect on the next Monthly Payment Date after the Face Amount increase is applied to the Policy.

23


 We reserve the right to limit Face Amount increases to one per Policy Year.

Decreasing the Total Face Amount

Decreasing the Total Face Amount may affect your Policy’s tax status. To ensure your Policy continues to qualify as life insurance, we might be required to return:

 Part of your premium payments to you if you have chosen the Guideline Premium Test, or

 Make distributions from the Accumulated Value, which may be taxable. For more information, please see VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE AND YOUR TAXES.

Here are some additional things you should know about decreasing the Total Face Amount under the Policy:

 We will apply any decrease in the Face Amount to eligible Coverage Layers in the following order:

 To the most recent eligible increases you made to the Face Amount

 To the initial Face Amount.

 Each decrease you make to the Face Amount must be $10,000 or more.

 We can refuse your request to decrease the Total Face Amount if making the change means:

 Your Policy will no longer qualify as life insurance

 The distributions we will be required to make from your Policy’s Accumulated Value will be greater than your Policy’s Net Cash Surrender Value

 Your Policy will become a Modified Endowment Contract and you have not told us in writing that this is acceptable to you.

Death Benefit Options

The Policy offers three Death Benefit Options, Options A, B, and C. The Death Benefit Option you choose will generally depend on which is more important to you: a larger Death Benefit or building the Accumulated Value of your Policy.

Death Benefit Option A provides a death benefit equal to the Total Face Amount of the Policy. Additional premiums and Investment Option performance do not change the Total Face Amount, except in limited circumstances to ensure that the Policy qualifies as life insurance under the Code. However, additional premiums and positive Investment Option performance will increase the Accumulated Value and decrease the Net Amount At Risk which may, in turn, reduce Policy charges. Withdrawals may reduce the Total Face Amount depending on the timing, withdrawal amount and withdrawal frequency during a Policy year.

Death Benefit Option B provides a death benefit equal to the Total Face Amount of the Policy plus the Accumulated Value. Additional premiums and positive Investment Option performance will increase the death benefit. However, since the death benefit under this option is based, in part, on the Accumulated Value, Policy charges and negative Investment Option performance may decrease the death benefit. Withdrawals do not reduce the Total Face Amount, but they do reduce the Accumulated Value which will in turn reduce the Death Benefit.

Death Benefit Option C provides a death benefit equal to the Total Face Amount of the Policy plus the total premiums paid, minus any withdrawal or distributions that reduce the Accumulated Value. The more premiums you pay and the less you withdraw, the larger the Death Benefit, subject to the Option C Death Benefit Limit. However, while taking withdraws does not reduce the Total Face Amount, it does increase the sum of the withdrawals, which has the effect of reducing the Death Benefit. Cost of Insurance charges are generally higher than Death Benefit Option A.

Below is a chart that compares each Death Benefit Option based on features you may want to consider.

Generally, higher Accumulated Values will have no impact on the Net Amount at Risk. Cost of Insurance charges are generally higher than Death Benefit Option

Generally, higher Accumulated Values will decrease the Net Amount at Risk, but premium payments will increase your Net Amount at Risk. Cost of Insurance charges are generally higher than

Option B and C. 

A. 

Death Benefit Option A. 

Accumulated Value 

The Accumulated Value has no impact on your death benefit except to ensure that the Policy qualifies as life insurance under the Code (see the Minimum Death Benefit in the Death Benefits – Death Benefit Qualification Test section in this prospectus). However, your Cost of Insurance Charges are generally lower than Death Benefit Option B and C. Lower Cost of Insurance charges can lead to higher Accumulated Values.  

The higher your Accumulated Value, the higher the Death Benefit. However, your Cost of Insurance Charges are generally higher than Death Benefit Option A and higher Cost of Insurance Charges can lead to lower Accumulated Values.     

The Accumulated Value has no impact on your death benefit except to ensure that the Policy qualifies as life insurance under the Code (see the Minimum Death Benefit in the Death Benefits – Death Benefit Qualification Test section in this prospectus). However, your Cost of Insurance Charges are generally higher than Death Benefit Option A and higher Cost of Insurance Charges can lead to lower Accumulated Values.     

Impact of Withdrawals 

May reduce Total Face Amount and if it does, there will be a reduction in the Death Benefit.  

Does not reduce Total Face Amount.  But it does reduce the Accumulated Value which will in turn reduce the Death Benefit. 

Does not reduce Total Face Amount. But it does increase the total sum of withdrawals, which will reduce the Death Benefit.  

 

All three Death Benefit Options in the table above and their features may be impacted by the Minimum Death Benefit. See the Death Benefits – Death Benefit Qualification Test section in this prospectus.

Here are some things you need to know about the Death Benefit:

 You must choose your Death Benefit Option and Death Benefit Qualification Test on your Policy application.

 If you do not choose a Death Benefit Qualification Test, we will assume you have chosen the Guideline Premium Test.

 The Death Benefit will always be the greater of the Death Benefit under the Death Benefit Option you choose or the Minimum Death Benefit, calculated using the Death Benefit Qualification Test you have chosen.

 The Death Benefit will never be lower than the Total Face Amount of your Policy if you have chosen Option A or B. The Death Benefit Proceeds will always be reduced by any Policy Debt.

 We will pay the Death Benefit Proceeds to your Beneficiary when we receive proof of the deaths of both Insureds.

The Death Benefit Options are:

     

Option A – the Total Face Amount of your Policy.

 

Option B – the Total Face Amount of your Policy plus its Accumulated Value.

 

Option C – the Total Face Amount of your Policy plus the total premiums you have paid minus any withdrawals or distributions that reduce your Accumulated Value.

 

 

The Death Benefit is designed to remain level.

 

The Death Benefit changes as your Policy’s Accumulated Value changes. The better your Investment Options perform, the larger the Death Benefit will be.

 

The more premiums you pay and the less you withdraw, the larger the Death Benefit will be.

The graphs are intended to show how the Death Benefit Options work and are not predictive of investment performance in your Policy. The Death Benefit Option selected by an investor impacts the dollar value of the Death Benefit, the charges paid, and the resulting Accumulated Value.

Limits on Option C

The following limits apply to Option C:

25


 To elect Option C, the Insureds must be Age 80 or younger at the time the Policy is issued.

 The Death Benefit calculated under Option C will be limited to the amount shown in the Policy Specifications as the “Option C Death Benefit Limit,” an amount which will never exceed four times the Initial Total Face Amount of your Policy on the Policy Date.

Changing Your Death Benefit Option

You can change your Death Benefit Option while your Policy is In Force, subject to the following:

 You can change the Death Benefit Option once in any Policy Year.

 You must send us your Written Request.

 You can change from any Death Benefit Option to Option A or Option B.

 You cannot change from any Death Benefit Option A or B to Option C.

 The change will become effective on the first Monthly Payment Date after we receive your request. If we receive your request on a Monthly Payment Date, we will process it that day.

 The Total Face Amount of your Policy will change by the amount needed to make the Death Benefit under the new Death Benefit Option equal the Death Benefit under the old Death Benefit Option just before the change. We will not let you change the Death Benefit Option if doing so means the Face Amount of your Policy will become less than $1,000.

 Changing the Death Benefit Option can also affect the monthly cost of insurance charge since this charge varies with the Net Amount At Risk.

 The new Death Benefit Option will be used in all future calculations.

We will not change your Death Benefit Option if it means your Policy will be treated as a Modified Endowment Contract, unless you have told us in writing that this would be acceptable to you. Modified Endowment Contracts are discussed in the VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE AND YOUR TAXES section in this prospectus.

Choosing a Death Benefit Qualification Test

This Policy offers two ways to calculate the Minimum Death Benefit: the Cash Value Accumulation Test and the Guideline Premium Test. These are called Death Benefit Qualification Tests. The test you choose will generally depend on the amount of premiums you want to pay.

Your Death Benefit Qualification Test affects the following:

 Premium limitations

 Amount of Minimum Death Benefit

 Monthly cost of insurance charges

 Flexibility to reduce Face Amount.

Each test determines what the Minimum Death Benefit should be in relation to your Policy’s Accumulated Value. The Death Benefit determined under either test will be at least equal to the amount required for the Policy to qualify as life insurance under the Tax Code.

Cash Value Accumulation Test

If you choose the Cash Value Accumulation Test, your Policy’s Minimum Death Benefit will be the greater of:

 The lowest Death Benefit amount that’s needed for the Policy to qualify as life insurance under the Cash Value Accumulation Test in the Tax Code, or

 101% of the Policy’s Accumulated Value.

Under this test, a Policy’s Death Benefit must be large enough to ensure that its Cash Surrender Value, as defined in Section 7702 of the Tax Code (and which is based on Accumulated Value, among other things), is never larger than the Net Single Premium that’s needed to fund future benefits under the Policy. The Net Single Premium under your Policy varies according to the Age, sex, and Risk Class of both Insureds. It is calculated using an interest rate of at least 4% and the guaranteed mortality charges at the time the Policy is issued. We will use a higher interest rate if we have guaranteed it under your Policy.

  
 

An example

  
 

For a Policy that insures a male non-smoker Age 56 and a female non-smoker Age 53 when the Policy was issued, in Policy Year 20 the Minimum Death Benefit under the Cash Value Accumulation Test is calculated by multiplying the Accumulated Value by a “Net Single Premium factor” of 1.768.

26


Guideline Premium Test

Under this test, the Minimum Death Benefit is calculated by multiplying your Policy’s Accumulated Value by a Guideline Premium Death Benefit percentage. The Death Benefit is based on the Age of the younger Insured so it varies over time. It is 250% when the younger Insured is Age 40 or younger, and reduces as the person gets older. You will find a table of death benefit percentages in Appendix A of this prospectus and in your Policy.

Under the Guideline Premium Test, the total premiums you pay cannot exceed your Policy’s Guideline Premium Limit. Your Policy’s Guideline Premium Limit is the greater of:

 The guideline single premium or

 The sum of the guideline level annual premiums to date.

Before you buy a Policy, you can ask us or your life insurance producer for a personalized Illustration that shows you the guideline single premium and guideline level annual premiums.

If you increase or decrease your Coverage, the guideline single or level premiums may be increased or decreased. These changes may be more than proportionate.

Comparing the Death Benefit Qualification Tests

The table below shows a general comparison of how features of your Policy may be affected by your choice of Death Benefit Qualification Test. When choosing between the tests, you should consider:

   
 

Cash Value
Accumulation Test

Guideline Premium Test

Premium payments1

Allows flexibility to pay more premium

Premium payments are limited under the Tax Code

Death Benefit

Generally higher as Policy duration increases

May be higher in early years of Policy

Monthly cost of insurance charges

May be higher, if the Death Benefit is higher

May be lower, except perhaps in early years of Policy

Face Amount decreases

Will not require return of premium or distribution of Accumulated Value

May require return of premium or distribution of Accumulated Value to continue Policy as life insurance

1 We may limit premium payments to prevent your Policy from being classified as a Modified Endowment Contract.

Examples of Death Benefit Calculations

The tables below compare the Death Benefits provided by the Policy’s available Death Benefit Options. The examples are intended only to show differences in Death Benefits and Net Amounts at Risk. Accumulated Value assumptions may not be realistic.

These examples show that each Death Benefit Option provides a different level of protection. Keep in mind that generally, cost of insurance charges, which affect your Policy’s Accumulated Value, increase over time. The cost of insurance is charged at a rate based on the Net Amount At Risk. As the Net Amount At Risk increases, your cost of insurance increases. Accumulated Value also varies depending on the performance of the Investment Options in your Policy.

The example below assumes the following:

 The Insureds are a male non-smoker Age 56 and a female non-smoker Age 53 at the time the Policy was issued

 Face Amount is $1,000,000

 Accumulated Value at the date of death is $550,000

 Total premium paid into the Policy is $300,000

 The Minimum Death Benefit under the Guideline Premium Test is $610,500 (assuming a Guideline Premium Test factor of 111% of the Accumulated Value)

 The Minimum Death Benefit under the Cash Value Accumulation Test is $972,400 (assuming a Net Single Premium factor of 1.768 of the Accumulated Value).

 Net Amount At Risk Factor is 1.0020598

      
   

If you select the Guideline
Premium Test, the Death
Benefit is the larger of these two amounts

When We Pay the Death Benefit

We calculate the amount of the Death Benefit Proceeds effective the end of the day the Insured dies. If the Insured dies on a day that is not a Valuation Day, any portion of the Death Benefit Proceeds attributed to the Variable Accumulated Value is determined as of the next Valuation Day.

Your Policy’s Beneficiary must send us proof that both Insureds died while the Policy was In Force, along with payment instructions. If both Insureds die at the same time, or if it is not clear who died first, we will assume the older Insured died first.

Death Benefit Proceeds equal the total of the Death Benefits provided by your Policy and any Riders you have added, minus any Policy Debt, minus any overdue charges. We will pay the Death Benefit Proceeds within 2 months after we receive proof that both Insureds died while the Policy was In Force.

It is important that we have a current address, social security number, telephone number and email address for each designated Beneficiary so that we can pay Death Benefit Proceeds promptly. If we cannot pay the Death Benefit Proceeds to the designated Beneficiary within the dormancy period defined by a state's Unclaimed Property laws or regulations, we will be required to pay the Death Benefit Proceeds to the applicable state. Once the Death Benefit Proceeds are paid to a state, any subsequent claim by a designated Beneficiary must be made with the applicable state. For more information, check with the state to whom the Death Benefit Proceeds were paid.

 May not use this service and the Dollar Cost Averaging, Portfolio Rebalancing, or Fixed Option Interest Sweep at the same time.

Fixed Option Interest Sweep

Allows you to make scheduled transfers of the accumulated earnings from the Fixed Account or Fixed LT Account to the Variable Investment Options.

Standard

 Each transfer must be at least $50. If the earnings are not $50 at the time of transfer, the transfer will be held until the next scheduled transfer date when the interest earnings are at least $50.

Loans

Allow you to borrow money from your Policy at any time after the Free Look Transfer Date to gain access to the Accumulated Value in the Policy.

Standard

 The maximum amount available to borrow will be less than 100% of your Accumulated Value and the minimum amount is $200.

 You pay interest on the amount you borrow which is due on your Policy Anniversary.

 The Accumulated Value set aside to secure your loan is transferred to a Loan Account which earns interest daily.

 Taking out a loan, whether or not you repay it, will affect the growth of your Policy’s Accumulated Value since the amount used to secure the loan will not participate in the investment experience of the Investment Options, will not be available to any Policy charges, may increase the risk of the Policy lapsing and could reduce the amount of the Death Benefit.

 Loans may have tax consequences.

   

Portfolio Rebalancing

Standard

 Transfers can be scheduled monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually.

OPTIONAL RIDERS AND BENEFITS

There are optional Riders that provide supplemental benefits under the Policy, some for an additional charge. Any charges associated with each Rider are presented in the FEE TABLES section. Ask your life insurance producer or contact us to determine which Riders were added to your Policy.

Some broker/dealers may limit their clients from purchasing some optional benefits based on the client’s age or other factors. You should work with your financial professional to decide whether an optional benefit is appropriate for you.

Certain restrictions may apply and are described in the rider or benefit. We will add any ongoing rider charges to the monthly charge we deduct from your Policy’s Accumulated Value. Some rider charges apply upon exercise of the benefit or benefit-related requests. See the FEE TABLES section in this prospectus for information about rider charges.

Complete information about each Rider is below.

Annual Renewable Term Rider — Individual (ARTR-I)

Provides term insurance on either Insured or individually on both Insureds and renews annually until the Policy terminates. The Death Benefit is payable at the death of the Insured covered by the Rider. The Rider is available for Insureds Age 20 through 90 at the time of Rider issue. You may purchase the Rider at Policy issue or any time the Policy is In Force, subject to satisfactory evidence of insurability. The amount of Coverage can be level or vary every year and may follow any pattern, subject to underwriting approval, to match your need for insurance. Annual increases are scheduled at issue. You may also request unscheduled increases or decreases in Face Amount of the Rider, subject to certain limitations.

The guaranteed monthly cost of insurance rate will be shown in your Policy Specifications. Our current cost of insurance rates are lower than the guaranteed rates.

You may request increases or decreases in Face Amount of the Rider. Each increase will be subject to satisfactory evidence of insurability and will have associated cost of insurance based on the Age and Risk Class of the Insured under this Rider on the effective date of the increase. Unless you request otherwise, the increase will become effective on the first Monthly Payment Date on or following the date we receive and approve your request. We may deduct an administrative charge not to exceed $100 from your Policy’s Accumulated Value on the effective date of any unscheduled increase. You must send a Written Request if you wish to decrease the Face Amount of this Rider. Decreases will be effective on the first Monthly Payment Date on or following the date the Written Request is received at our Life Insurance Division. Decreases will first be applied against the most recent increase, if any, and then against successively earlier increases, if any, and finally against the original ARTR-I Face Amount.

The Rider will terminate on the earliest of your Written Request, or on lapse or termination of this Policy. In addition, Coverage under this Rider on any individual Insured will terminate on the earlier of the death of that individual Insured, or the date that individual Insured reaches Age 121.

Annual Renewable Term Rider — Last Survivor (ARTR-LS)

Provides term insurance on the Insureds and renews annually until the Policy terminates. The Rider is available for Insureds Age 20 through 90 at the time of Rider issue. The amount of Coverage can be level or vary every year and may follow any pattern, subject to underwriting approval, to match your need for insurance. Annual increases are scheduled at issue. You may also request unscheduled increases or decreases in Face Amount of the Rider, subject to certain limitations.

The Rider is payable on the death of the Survivor, and modifies the Death Benefit of the Policy to include the Face Amount of the Rider, so that the Death Benefit equals the greater of the Death Benefit as calculated under 1) the Death Benefit Option you choose on the policy plus the Face Amount of the Rider, or 2) the Minimum Death Benefit under the Death Benefit Qualification Test you have chosen.

The guaranteed monthly cost of insurance rate and monthly Coverage charge will be shown in your Policy Specifications. Our current cost of insurance rates are lower than the guaranteed rates. See the FEE TABLES section for more information on the costs associated with this Rider.

You may request increases or decreases in Face Amount of the Rider. Each increase will be subject to satisfactory evidence of insurability and will have associated cost of insurance rates. Unless you request otherwise, the increase will become effective on the first Monthly Payment Date on or following the date we receive and approve your request. We may deduct an administrative charge

34


not to exceed $200 from your Policy’s Accumulated Value on the effective date of any unscheduled increase. Decreases will be effective on the first Monthly Payment Date on or following the date the Written Request is received at our Life Insurance Division. Decreases will first be applied against the most recent increase, if any, and then against successively earlier increases, if any, and finally against the original ARTR-LS Face Amount.

The Rider will terminate on the earliest of your Written Request, or on lapse or termination of this Policy, or upon the Survivor’s death.

Surrender Value Enhancement Rider-Last Survivor (SVER-LS)

Provides additional Death Benefit protection on the Insureds in combination with the Face Amount of the Policy and may also provide higher early cash value. The Rider may be purchased at Policy issue, subject to evidence of insurability. The Rider is available for Insureds Age 20 through 90 at the time of Rider issue. You may request unscheduled increases or decreases in Face Amount of the Rider, subject to certain limitations. The Rider is payable on the death of the Survivor.

The guaranteed monthly cost of insurance rate and monthly Coverage charge will be shown in your Policy Specifications. Our current charges may be less than our guaranteed charges.

You may request increases or decreases in Face Amount of the Rider. Each increase will be subject to satisfactory evidence of insurability and will have associated cost of insurance rates. Unless you request otherwise, the increase will become effective on the first Monthly Payment Date on or following the date we receive and approve your request. We may deduct an administrative charge not to exceed $200 from your Policy’s Accumulated Value on the effective date of any unscheduled increase. Decreases will be effective on the first Monthly Payment Date on or following the date the Written Request is received at our Life Insurance Division. Decreases will first be applied against the most recent increase, if any, and then against successively earlier increases, if any, and finally against the original SVER-LS Face Amount.

The Rider will terminate on the earliest of your Written Request, or on lapse or termination of this Policy, or upon the Survivor’s Death.

Short-Term No-Lapse Guarantee Rider

You are eligible for the No Lapse Rider if:

 The older Insured is younger than Age 80 when the Policy is issued.

 You chose either Death Benefit Option A or B when applying for your Policy.

 You did not select the optional ARTR-I.

 If you selected the ARTR-LS, the term insurance provided is on a level, not varying, schedule.

 Your application meets our underwriting requirements.

The No Lapse Rider is issued with a guarantee period based on the Age of the older Insured. The guarantee period will be at least five years, and never more than 25 years. The guarantee period of your No Lapse Rider is listed on your Policy Specifications.

The No Lapse Premium is an amount used during the guarantee period to determine the No Lapse Credit. The no lapse premium is shown on your Policy Specifications as the Initial Annual No Lapse Premium. The Rider is designed to remain in effect through the guarantee period if you pay at least one twelfth of this amount at the beginning of each Policy month, take no loans or withdrawals, and make no changes, scheduled or unscheduled, to your Policy Coverage. However, the Rider may remain in effect even if premium payments are made in different patterns, if you take Policy loans or withdrawals, or there are changes in Coverage amounts. Any change in Face Amount or Coverage may cause a change in the No Lapse Premium, in which case we will inform you of the new No Lapse Premium.

The No Lapse Credit is a value used to determine if the Rider is in effect. It is calculated at the beginning of each Policy month during the guarantee period. The No Lapse Credit as of the Policy Date is equal to the premium paid less one-twelfth of the Initial Annual No Lapse Premium. On any other Monthly Payment Date, the No Lapse Credit is equal to:

 The No Lapse Credit as of the prior Monthly Payment Date multiplied by (1 + i) where i equals 0.327374% if the No Lapse Credit is negative, otherwise it equals the rate of 0%;

 Plus the premiums received since the prior Monthly Payment Date;

 Less withdrawals taken since the prior Monthly Payment Date; and

 Less one-twelfth of the then current No Lapse Premium.

For example, for a Policy with a No Lapse Premium of $838.61, a No Lapse Credit of $1,000.00 on the prior Monthly Payment Date and a monthly interest rate of 0.0% for accumulation of the No Lapse Credit if the No Lapse Credit is positive, where a withdrawal of $500.00 has been taken since the prior Monthly Payment Date and a premium payment of $100.00 was made on the current Monthly Payment Date, the No Lapse Credit on the current Monthly Payment Date will be $530.12.

35


If the No Lapse Credit less Policy Debt is equal to or greater than zero, the Rider is in effect. If the Rider has become ineffective because the No Lapse Credit is less than the Policy Debt, you may reinstate the benefit by paying sufficient premium or by repaying a sufficient portion of the loan balance. The premium payment or loan repayment necessary to reinstate the benefit is equal to the amount that would make the No Lapse Credit equal to the Policy Debt.

If your Policy does not have enough Accumulated Value, after subtracting any Policy Debt, to cover your monthly deduction on the Monthly Payment Date, and the Rider is in effect, your Policy will not enter the Grace Period, and will not lapse. Your Policy and all other Riders attached to your Policy will continue in effect under their terms during the guarantee period as long as the conditions for the Rider to be in effect are met.

When your Policy continues under the Rider, monthly deductions for your Policy will be accumulated as the AV pay-off account. Interest is charged on this amount at the monthly rate of 0.327374%, which is equivalent to 4% annually, and the result is stored in the AV pay-off account. Additional Net Premium, or loan repayment amounts, will first be used to reduce the amount of your AV pay-off account. Once the amount of the AV pay-off account has been repaid, any additional new Net Premium or loan repayment amounts will be allocated to the Investment Options according to your most recent instructions.

If your Policy is continued under the Rider at the time the guarantee period ends, you will need to pay sufficient additional premium or make a loan repayment to bring the AV pay-off account to zero and cover any future monthly deductions from your Policy, or your Policy will lapse.

Accelerated Living Benefits Rider

Gives the Policy Owner access to a portion of the Policy’s Death Benefit if the Survivor has been diagnosed with a terminal illness resulting in a life expectancy of six months or less (or longer than six months in some states). We will pay an accelerated benefit if an insured has been diagnosed with a noncorrectable terminal illness and has a life expectancy of 6 months or less. The accelerated benefit is the actual amount you will receive under this Rider. It is determined based on the amount of the Policy proceeds the Policy Owner requests (the “Requested Portion”) as a factor of the Eligible Coverage, which is the portion of the Policy proceeds that qualifies for determining the Accelerated Benefit. An actuarial discount will apply to the Requested Portion. This discount reflects the early payment of the Requested Portion of your policy. The discount will be based on an annual interest rate declared by us and which is in effect as of the date we approve your written request.

The Eligible Coverage includes:

 The base Policy Death Benefit;

 Any paid-up additions; and

 Any term rider, term Policy or term Coverage on the Insured that has a minimum of two years of Coverage remaining.

The Requested Portion cannot be more than the lesser of 50% of the Eligible Coverage or $250,000 for all Policies In Force with us. If you have Policy Debt, we will reduce the accelerated benefit proceeds payable to repay a portion of the loan. We may also deduct an administrative fee of $150 from your accelerated benefit.

Below is an example of how we calculate the Eligible Coverage under the Rider. The Example assumes two Policies; the Insured under each Policy has been diagnosed with a terminal illness. The Requested Portion for both Policies is the maximum amount payable under the Policies (the lesser of 50% of the Eligible Coverage or $250,000 for all Policies In Force).

You may choose to receive the accelerated benefit either in a lump sum or any other payment plan available at the time of payment. We will pay the benefit only once per Insured.

Payment of the accelerated benefit will reduce the Policy’s Death Benefit and other values under the Policy. In most circumstances, the cost of insurance charges will also be reduced.

Benefits received under this Rider may be taxable, and may impact your eligibility for Medicaid or other government benefits. Please consult your tax advisor if you want to exercise your rights under this Rider.

The Rider will terminate on the earliest of your Written Request, on lapse or termination of the Policy, or when an accelerated benefit is paid under this Rider.

Estate Preservation Rider

This Rider provides a Death Benefit equal to the Face Amount of this Rider in the event that both Insureds under the Policy die during the first four policy years. This Rider is automatically included on any Policy where both Insureds are between Ages 20 and 75 and where neither Insured has a substandard Risk Class or is uninsurable. Certain Policies issued with a rated Risk Class may also be eligible. Ask us or your life insurance producer for more information regarding eligibility for this Rider. If both Insureds die while the Rider is in effect, there is an additional death benefit paid equal to the Face Amount of the Estate Preservation Rider.

The Face Amount of this Rider is separate from the Total Face Amount of the Policy, but is based on the Face Amount of the Basic Coverage and any optional Annual Renewable Term Rider – Last Survivor or Surrender Value Enhancement Rider – Last Survivor. The Face Amount for the Estate Preservation Rider is shown in the Policy Specifications. The Face Amount of the Estate Preservation Rider cannot be increased. A decrease or termination of this Rider prior to the end of the four year term is allowed by Written Request.

This Rider is intended solely to provide a Death Benefit in the event that both Insureds under the Policy die during the first four Policy Years, and is not guaranteed to offset any estate or other tax liability. The Face Amount of this Rider does not contribute to the Total Face Amount of the Policy. The Face Amount of this Rider does not comprise a Coverage Layer under the Policy. There is no charge for this Rider.

This Rider will terminate on the earliest of

 Your Written Request; or

 Termination of the Policy; or

 Four years from the Policy Date.

37


Enhanced Policy Split Option Rider

Allows the Policy to be split into two individual policies, without evidence of insurability. This Rider is available only to married couples. This Rider will be included automatically with all Policies where the older Insured is issue Age 79 or less, and where neither Insured has a substandard Risk Class or is uninsurable.

You may exercise this option within 90 days after the day that the Federal Unlimited Marital Deduction is actually reduced, as a result of the enactment of a new federal estate tax law, which because of the reduction, could result in an increase in the federal estate tax liability at the first death of the two Insureds under the Policy.

The exchange may be made to any single life policy that we regularly issue at the time of exchange, subject to our approval. We waive the surrender charge on your original Policy, but any surrender charges applicable to the new policy will apply to the new policies. If the new policies are variable universal life policies, we will waive the premium load on any amount of Cash Surrender Value transferred from this Policy to purchase the new policies. Any premium load will apply on the new policies for additional premium added at issue or after the initial premium paid from this Policy’s Cash Surrender Value.

The face amount of each new policy may be for any amount you choose, up to one half of the Policy’s Face Amount, including the Face Amount under any ARTR-LS or SVER-LS attached to the Policy, both as of the date of the exchange. You must give your written consent if the face amounts of the two new policies are not equal. The original Policy’s Cash Surrender Value will be allocated as premiums to the two new policies in proportion to the face amount of the new policies. We will waive any Policy charge normally charged to cover our expenses arising from any state or federal tax charged to us due to the exchange. Policy Debt will also be split in proportion to the face amount of the new policies.

The Rider will terminate on the earliest of your Written Request, the date of the first death of the two Insureds, on lapse or termination of the Policy, when the older of the two Insureds reaches Age 80, or upon exercise of this Rider.

Example

This example assumes that the Insureds were under age 70 when the Policy was issued. During Policy Year 4 an Exchange Event occurred and the Joint Owners elect to split this Policy and purchase two new variable universal life policies issued by us. The Joint Owners elect that the current Policy be split 50% to each new policy so no evidence of insurability on each Insured is required. The existing Policy has a Face Amount of $500,000 and Accumulated Value of $160,000. The new policies have a premium load and offer the same or similar Risk Class as the existing Policy.

When the transfer occurs, the new policies will have a Face Amount of $250,000 ($500,000 x 50% = $250,000), and an Accumulated Value of $80,000 ($160,000 x 50% = $80,000). The new policies will not assess a premium load on the amount transferred to each policy from the old policy. Once the new policies are issued, the old policy will terminate and no longer provide any insurance coverage.

Policy Split Option Rider

Allows the Policy to be split into two individual policies subject to satisfactory evidence of insurability on each Insured. The exchange may be made to any individual flexible premium adjustable life insurance policy that we regularly issue at the time of exchange, subject to our approval. A $200 administrative fee may be deducted from the original Policy’s Accumulated Value on the effective date of the exchange. Although not anticipated, we reserve the right to charge for any state or federal taxes incurred upon exercise of this Rider.

The original Policy’s Accumulated Value, Policy Debt and Cash Surrender Value are split in proportion to the Face Amount. We waive the surrender charge on your original Policy. If the new policies are variable universal life policies, we will waive the premium load on any amount transferred from this Policy to purchase the new policies. Any premium load will apply on the new policies for additional premium added at issue or after the initial premium paid from this Policy.

The Rider will terminate on the date of the first death of the two Insureds, on lapse or termination of the Policy, or upon exercise of this Rider.

Example

This example assumes that, during Policy Year 10, the Owner elects to split this Policy and purchase two new variable universal life policies issued by us. Satisfactory evidence of insurability on each Insured was submitted. The existing Policy has a Face Amount of $500,000 and Accumulated Value of $160,000. The new policy has a premium load and offers the same or similar Risk Class as the existing Policy. The Insureds elected that the current Policy be split 50% to each new policy.

When the transfer occurs, the new policies will have a Face Amount of $250,000 ($500,000 x 50% = $250,000), and an Accumulated Value of $80,000 ($160,000 x 50% = $80,000). The new policies will not assess a premium load on the amount transferred to each policy from the old policy. Once the new policy is issued, the old policy will terminate and no longer provide any insurance coverage.

Things to Keep in Mind

Other Variable Life Insurance Policies

38


We offer other variable life insurance policies which provide insurance protection on the life of one person or the lives of two people. The loads and charges on these policies may be different. Combining a Policy and a Rider, however, may be more economical than adding another Policy. It may also be more economical to provide an amount of insurance Coverage through a Policy alone. Many life insurance policies have some flexibility in structuring the amount of insurance protection, the amount that is payable upon death, and premium payments in targeting the cash values based on your particular needs.

Depending on the Ages and Risk Classes of the Insureds, in some cases, the ARTR-LS and SVER-LS Riders may have lower charges than simply purchasing the Face Amount on a Policy alone. In some cases, the charges may be higher. Some charges are higher in the early years of the policy and/or rider, and some reduce with policy and/or rider duration.

This Policy

In general, your Policy Coverage offers the advantage of lower overall guaranteed charges than the added Riders. If you add a Rider or Riders to your Policy, and if we apply maximum guaranteed charges, you may increase your risk of lapse even if all planned premiums are paid. Adding a Rider or Riders may also affect the amount of premium you can pay on your Policy and still have it qualify as life insurance.

Combining a Policy with a ARTR-LS may lower costs and may improve Accumulated Value accrual for the same amount of Death Benefit. However, your Policy has guaranteed maximum charges. Adding a ARTR-LS will result in guaranteed maximum charges that are higher than for a single Policy with the same Face Amount.

Combining a Policy with a SVER-LS may improve Accumulated Value accrual in the early years of your Policy, but could result in either higher or lower charges than under a single Policy. The timing of certain charges for Policies held for certain periods may also be affected.

Ultimately, individual needs and objectives vary, and they may change through time. It is important that you consider your goals and options carefully. You should discuss your insurance needs and financial objectives with your life insurance producer before purchasing any life insurance product or purchasing additional insurance benefits. You should also consider a periodic review of your Coverage with your life insurance producer.

39


HOW PREMIUMS WORK

Your Policy gives you the flexibility to choose the amount and frequency of your premium payments within certain limits. Each premium payment must be at least $50.

The amount, frequency, and period of time over which you make premium payments may affect whether your Policy will be classified as a Modified Endowment Contract, or no longer qualifies as life insurance for tax purposes. See the VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE AND YOUR TAXES section in this prospectus for more information.

We deduct a premium load from each premium payment, and then allocate your Net Premium to the Investment Options you have chosen. Depending on the performance of your Investment Options, and on how many withdrawals, loans or other Policy features you have taken advantage of, you may need to make additional premium payments to cover monthly deductions for Policy charges to keep your Policy In Force. We reserve the right to accept premium payments in amounts less than $50.

Your Initial Premium

We apply your first premium payment to the Policy on the later of the day we receive it or the day we receive all contractual and administrative requirements necessary for your Policy to be In Force. See the HOW PREMIUMS WORK – Allocating Your Premiums section in this prospectus for more information on when your first Net Premium is allocated to the Investment Options.

If you have outstanding contractual and administrative requirements, your financial professional will notify you of a delivery date when any outstanding requirements are due to us, not to exceed 45 days from the date we issue your Policy. If we do not receive your first premium payment and all contractual and administrative requirements on or before the delivery date, we can cancel the Policy and refund any premium payment you have made. We may extend the delivery date in some cases.

Planned Periodic Premium Payments

You can schedule the amount and frequency of your premium payments. We refer to scheduled premium payments as your planned periodic premium. Here’s how it works:

 You indicate whether you want to make premium payments annually, semi-annually, or quarterly. You can also choose monthly payments using our monthly Electronic Funds Transfer Plan, which is described below.

 We send you a notice to remind you of your scheduled premium payment (except for monthly Electronic Funds Transfer plan payments, which are paid automatically).

 If you have any Policy Debt, we will treat any payment you make during the life of your Policy as a loan repayment, not as a premium payment, unless you tell us otherwise in writing. When a payment, or any portion of it, exceeds your Policy Debt, we will treat it as a premium payment.

You do not have to make the premium payments you have scheduled. However, not making a premium payment may have an impact on any financial objectives you may have set for your Policy’s Accumulated Value and Death Benefit, and could cause your Policy to lapse. Even if you pay all your premiums when they’re scheduled, your Policy could lapse if the Accumulated Value, less any Policy Debt, is not enough to pay your monthly charges. See the YOUR POLICY’S ACCUMULATED VALUE section in this prospectus for more information.

Paying Your Premium

Premium payments must be made in a form acceptable to us before we can process it. You may pay your premium:

 By personal check, drawn on a U.S. bank;

 By cashier’s check, if it originates in a U.S. bank;

 By money order in a single denomination of more than $10,000 for in force payments, if it originates in a U.S. bank;

 By third party payments, when there is a clear relationship between the payor (individual, corporation, trust, etc.) and the Insured(s) and/or Owner;

 By temporary check with the ABA routing number and account number pre-printed on the check;

 Wire transfers that originate in U.S. banks.

We will not accept premium payments in the following forms:

 Cash;

 Credit card or check drawn against a credit card account;

 Traveler’s checks;

 Cashier’s check or money order drawn on a non-U.S. bank, even if the payment may be effected through a U.S. bank;

40


 Money order in a single denomination of $10,000 or less;

 Third party payments, if there is not a clear relationship between the payor (individual, corporation, trust, etc.) and the Insured(s) and/or Owner;

 Wire transfers that originate from foreign bank accounts.

If your Policy is subject to the Minimum Death Benefit, and you want to pay a premium that increases the Net Amount At Risk, you will need to provide us with satisfactory evidence of insurability before we can increase the Death Benefit regardless of which Death Benefit Option you have selected. In this event, your cost of insurance charges will also increase. Cost of insurance charges are based, among other things, upon your Policy’s Net Amount At Risk. For more information, see the YOUR POLICY’S ACCUMULATED VALUE section in this prospectus on how cost of insurance charges are calculated.

All unacceptable forms of premium payments will be returned to the payor along with a letter of explanation. We reserve the right to reject or accept any form of payment. If you make premium payments or loan repayments by Electronic Funds Transfer or by check other than a cashier’s check, your payment of any withdrawal proceeds and any refund during the free look period may be delayed until we receive confirmation in our administrative office that your payment has cleared.

Monthly Electronic Funds Transfer Plan

You can make monthly premium payments or loan payments using our Electronic Funds Transfer Plan. Here’s how it works:

 You authorize us to withdraw a specified amount from your checking account, savings account or money market account each month.

 If you do not specify a day for us to make the withdrawal, we will withdraw the payment on your Policy’s monthly anniversary.

 If you make monthly payments by the Electronic Funds Transfer Plan, we will apply the payments as loan repayment unless you have requested that payments be applied as premium payments. Loan payments made by the Electronic Funds Transfer Plan must be at least $50.

Deductions From Your Premiums

We deduct a maximum premium load of 8.00% from each premium payment you make.

This charge helps pay for the cost of distributing our Policies, and is also used to pay state and local premium taxes, any other taxes that may be imposed, and to compensate us for certain costs or lost investment opportunities resulting from our amortization and delayed recognition of certain policy acquisition expenses for federal income tax purposes. These consequences are referred to as the deferred acquisition cost (“DAC tax”).

Like other Policy charges, we may profit from the premium load and may use these profits for any lawful purpose, such as the payment of distribution and administrative expenses. We will notify you in advance if we change our current load rate.

Limits on the Premium Payments You Can Make

We will not accept premium payments after your Policy’s Monthly Deduction End Date.

Federal tax law puts limits on the amount of premium payments you can make in relation to your Policy’s Death Benefit. These limits apply in the following situations:

 If you have chosen the Guideline Premium Test as your Death Benefit Qualification Test and accepting the premium means your Policy will no longer qualify as life insurance federal income tax purposes.

 If applying the premium in that Policy Year means your Policy will become a Modified Endowment Contract. You may direct us to accept premium payments or other instructions that will cause your Policy to be treated as a Modified Endowment Contract by signing a Modified Endowment Contract Election Form. You will find a detailed discussion of Modified Endowment Contracts in the VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE AND YOUR TAXES section in this prospectus. You should speak to a qualified tax advisor for complete information regarding Modified Endowment Contracts.

 If applying the premium payment to your Policy will increase the Net Amount At Risk. This will happen if your Policy’s Death Benefit is equal to the Minimum Death Benefit or would be equal to it once we applied your premium payment.

You will find more detailed information regarding these situations in the SAI.

Allocating Your Premiums

We generally allocate your Net Premiums to the Investment Options you have chosen on your application on the day we receive them. See the APPENDIX: FUNDS AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY section in this prospectus for more information about the Funds underlying the Variable Investment Options. If we do not have allocation instructions, we will contact you to obtain updated allocation instructions.

Where we allocate your first premium depends on the state and replacement status. For policies that require us to return the premiums you have paid if you exercise your Free Look Right, we will hold your Net Premiums in the Fidelity® VIP Government Money Market

41


Variable Account until the end of the applicable state free look period, and then transfer them to the Investment Options you have chosen.

If your Policy requires refunds to be based on Accumulated Value if you exercise your Free Look Right, we allocate Net Premiums to the Investment Options you have chosen on the day we receive them or your Policy Date, if later. If your Policy has outstanding contractual and/or administrative requirements necessary before it can be placed In Force, we will allocate any Net Premiums received to the Fidelity® VIP Government Money Market Variable Account until the requirements are satisfied and your Policy is placed In Force.

42


YOUR POLICY’S ACCUMULATED VALUE

Accumulated Value is the value of your Policy on any Business Day. It is used as the basis for determining Policy benefits and charges.

We use it to calculate how much money is available to you for loans and withdrawals, and how much you will receive if you surrender your Policy. It also affects the amount of the Death Benefit if you choose a Death Benefit Option that’s calculated using Accumulated Value.

The Accumulated Value of your Policy is not guaranteed – it depends on the performance of the Investment Options you have chosen, the premium payments you have made, Policy charges and how much you have borrowed or withdrawn from the Policy.

If your Accumulated Value less any Policy Debt is insufficient to pay for Policy charges, your Policy will enter its Grace Period. We will send you a notice telling you the amount of premium to pay to keep your Policy In Force. The 61-day Grace Period starts on the notice date. If you do not pay sufficient premium during the Grace Period to restore your Policy’s Accumulated Value, your Policy will lapse. This Policy offers a rider that provides no-lapse protection for a certain period if rider conditions are met. See the Short-Term No-Lapse Guarantee Rider in the OTHER BENEFITS AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY section. Also see the Lapsing and Reinstatement section in this prospectus.

Calculating Your Policy’s Accumulated Value

Your Policy’s Accumulated Value is the total amount allocated to the Variable Investment Options and the Fixed Options, plus the amount in the Loan Account. Please see the WITHDRAWALS, SURRENDERS AND LOANS – Taking Out a Loan section in this prospectus for information about loans and the Loan Account.

We determine the value allocated to the Variable Investment Options on any Business Day by multiplying the number of accumulation units for each Variable Investment Option credited to your Policy on that day, by the Variable Investment Option’s unit value at the end of that day. The process we use to calculate unit values for the Variable Investment Options is described in YOUR INVESTMENT OPTIONS.

Persistency Credit

Your Policy may be eligible for a persistency credit. Here is how it works:

Beginning on your 6th Policy Anniversary and on each Policy Anniversary thereafter, we may credit your Policy with a persistency credit of 0.20% on an annual basis. We calculate the persistency credit amount on your Policy’s average Accumulated Value less any Policy Debt on each Monthly Payment Date during the preceding Policy Year. We add it proportionately to your Investment Options according to your most recent premium allocation instructions.

Beginning on your 16th Policy Anniversary, we may increase your annual persistency credit to 0.35%.

Beginning on your 21st Policy Anniversary, we may increase your annual persistency credit to 0.50%.

Your Policy’s persistency credit is not guaranteed, and we may discontinue the program at any time.

Monthly Deductions

We deduct a monthly charge from your Policy’s Accumulated Value. If there is not enough Accumulated Value to pay the monthly charge, your Policy could lapse. The performance of the Investment Options you choose, the timing and amount of your premium payments, or taking out a withdrawal or a loan all affect the Accumulated Value of your Policy. You will find a discussion about when your Policy might lapse, and what you can do to reinstate it, later in this section.

Unless you tell us otherwise, we deduct the monthly charge from the Investment Options that make up your Policy’s Accumulated Value, in proportion to the Accumulated Value you have in each Investment Option. This charge is made up of five charges:

 Cost of insurance

 Administrative charge

 Coverage charge

 Charges for optional Riders

 asset charge

Cost of Insurance

This charge is for providing you with life insurance protection. Like other Policy charges, we may profit from the cost of insurance charge and may use these profits for any lawful purpose such as the payment of distribution and administrative expenses. The current charge range is $0.00-$83.34 per $1,000 of Net Amount At Risk.

We deduct a cost of insurance charge based on the cost of insurance rate and Net Amount At Risk for each Coverage Layer.

43


There are maximum or guaranteed cost of insurance rates associated with your Policy. These rates are shown in your Policy Specifications.

The guaranteed rates include the insurance risks associated with insuring two people. They are calculated using 2001 Commissioners Standard Ordinary Mortality Tables. The cost of insurance rates take into consideration the Age and sex of the Insureds unless unisex rates are required. Rate tables blended by sex are used for unisex cost of insurance rates. Unisex rates are used for Policies issued in the state of Montana.

Our current cost of insurance rates will apply uniformly to all members of the same Class. Any changes in the cost of insurance rates will apply uniformly to all members of the same Class. These rates generally increase as the Insured’s Age increases, and they vary with the number of years the Policy has been In Force. Our current rates do not and will not exceed the guaranteed rates in the future.

   
 

How we calculate cost of insurance

 
 

We calculate cost of insurance by multiplying the current cost of insurance rate by a Net Amount At Risk at the beginning of each Policy month.

 
 

The Net Amount At Risk used in the cost of insurance calculation is the difference between a Death Benefit that would be payable if both Insureds died, and the Accumulated Value of your Policy. We calculate it in two steps:

 
 

First, we calculate the total Net Amount At Risk for your Policy in two steps:

 
 

 Step 1: we divide the Death Benefit that would be payable at the beginning of the Policy month by 1.0020598.

 
 

 Step 2: we subtract your Policy’s Accumulated Value at the beginning of the Policy month from the amount we calculated in Step 1.

 
 

Next we allocate the Net Amount At Risk in proportion to the Face Amount of the base Policy, any optional ARTR-LS and any optional SVER-LS, and each increase that’s In Force as of your Monthly Payment Date.

 
 

We then multiply the amount of each allocated Net Amount At Risk by the cost of insurance rate for each Coverage Layer. The sum of these amounts is your cost of insurance charge.

 
 

Premiums, Net Premiums, Policy fees and charges, withdrawals, investment performance and fees and expenses of the underlying portfolios may affect your Net Amount At Risk, depending on the Death Benefit Option you choose or if your Death Benefit under the Policy is the Minimum Death Benefit.

 

Choosing a guaranteed period

We guarantee our current cost of insurance rates. If, when the Policy is issued, the older Insured is:

 Age 65 or younger, we guarantee the rates for 10 years

 Older than 65, but younger than 81, we guarantee the rates for 5 years

 Older than 80, we guarantee the rates for 1 year.

However, if either Insured is uninsurable, and the older Insured is Age 65 or younger, we guarantee the rates for 5 years. If either Insured is uninsurable, and the older Insured is Age 66 or older, we guarantee the rates for 1 year.

If the older Insured is Age 50 or younger, and neither Insured is uninsurable, you have the option to extend the guaranteed period to fifteen years. You can only do this when the Policy is issued and you cannot change the guaranteed period later. There is no guaranteed period for the Annual Renewable Term Rider.

If you increase the Face Amount, the cost of insurance rates associated with the increase will have the same guaranteed period that you chose when the Policy was issued. This will be effective on the day of the increase. However, if on the day of the increase the older Insured is older than Age 50, or either Insured is uninsurable, the guaranteed period for the increase will be the guaranteed period which we offer for Age and insurability as of the day of the increase.

If you qualify for the 15-year guaranteed period, the guaranteed period you choose may affect the Accumulated Value and the initial Face Amount of your Policy, as well as the amount of premium you can pay. The shorter guaranteed period will provide for higher guideline premium and seven-pay premium limits which, if paid, provide the potential to accrue a larger Accumulated Value. The longer guaranteed period will have lower premium limits, but will provide you with improved guarantees on your cost of insurance rates. You should discuss your insurance needs and financial objectives with your life insurance producer to help you determine which guaranteed period works best for you.

There is no charge for extending the guaranteed period to 15 years.

Administrative charge

Currently, we deduct a charge not to exceed $10.00 a month to help cover the costs of administering and maintaining our Policies. We guarantee that this charge will not increase. The administrative charge is $0 on and after the Monthly Deduction End Date.

Coverage charge

We deduct a Coverage charge every month to help cover the costs of distributing our Policies. Like other Policy charges, we may profit from the Coverage charge and may use these profits for any lawful purpose, such as the payment of administrative costs.

Each Coverage Layer has its own Coverage charge. The amount deducted monthly is the sum of the Coverage charges calculated for each Coverage Layer in effect.

44


The Coverage charge for your Policy at issue is calculated based on the Age and Risk Class of the Insureds and the Death Benefit Option you elect and multiplied by the initial Face Amount of your Policy.

Additional Coverage Layers will have a Coverage charge calculated based on the same criteria, all as of the effective date of the Coverage Layer. We will specify the charge in a supplemental schedule of benefits at the time the new Coverage Layer goes into effect. We will apply the charge for each Coverage Layer from the day that Coverage Layer goes into effect. If you decrease your Policy’s Face Amount, the Coverage charge will remain the same.

The Coverage charge per $1,000 for each Coverage Layer will remain level for 10 Policy Years from effective date, then is reduced in Policy Year 11 and thereafter. We may charge less than our guaranteed rate. The guaranteed Coverage charges for your Policy will be shown in your Policy Specifications.

  
 

An example

 

For a Policy that insures a male non-smoker Age 56 and a female non-smoker Age 53 when the Policy is issued, with a Face Amount of $1,000,000:

 

The guaranteed Coverage charge is $435.50 for years 1-10 and $250.80 for years 11 and thereafter. The current Coverage charge is $435.50 for the first 10 years and $0.00 thereafter.

The Coverage charge is $0 on and after the Monthly Deduction End Date.

Charges for optional riders

For any Riders that you select under your Policy, the charge will be added to your Monthly Deduction. The current charges are discussed for each rider, where applicable in the OPTIONAL RIDERS AND BENEFITS section.

Asset Charge

We deduct an asset charge every month at a guaranteed maximum annual rate of 0.45% annually (0.0375% monthly) on the first $25,000 of your Policy’s Accumulated Value in the Investment Options plus an annual rate of 0.05% (0.0042% monthly) of the Accumulated Value in the Investment Options that exceeds $25,000.

For purposes of this charge, the amount of Accumulated Value is calculated on the Monthly Payment Date before we deduct the monthly charge, but after we deduct any Policy Debt, withdrawals or loans, or allocate any new Net Premium.

The annual rate for the asset charge is 0% on and after the Monthly Deduction End Date.

   
 

An example

 
   
 

For a Policy with Accumulated Value of $30,000 in the Investment Options, the maximum monthly asset charge is:

 
   
 

($25,000 × 0.0375%) + ($5,000 × 0.0042%) = $9.38 + $0.21 = $9.59

Transaction Fees

Withdrawal Charge

Under the Policy, there is a $25 withdrawal charge for each partial withdrawal of Accumulated Value (including any withdrawal under the Automated Income Program). Currently, we are not imposing this charge.

Transfer fee

Under the Policy, there is a $25 withdrawal charge for each transfer in excess of 12 transfers per Policy year. Currently, we are not imposing this charge.

Audits of premium/loan

Under the Policy, there is a $25 fee upon the request of an audit of 2 years or more. Currently, we are not imposing this charge.

Duplicate Policy

Under the Policy, there is a $50 fee upon the request of a duplicate policy. Currently, we are not imposing this charge.

Illustration Request

Under the Policy, you can request one Policy Illustration each Policy year free of charge. After that there is a $25 per request fee for each Illustration. Currently, we are not imposing this charge.

Face Amount Increase

Under the Policy, there is a $200 fee upon effective date of requested Face Amount increase. Currently, we are not imposing this charge.

Death Benefit Option change

Under the Policy, there is a $0 fee upon the request for a Death Benefit Option change. Currently, we are not imposing this charge.

Risk Class Change

Under the Policy, there is a $0.00 fee upon request for Risk Class change. We do not impose this charge.

Premium Load

Current fee information about premium loads can be found in the HOW PREMIUMS WORK - Deductions From Your Premiums section in this prospectus and for surrender charges, see the WITHDRAWALS, SURRENDERS AND LOANS - Surrendering Your Policy section in this prospectus.

Annual Renewable Term Rider-Individual Unscheduled Face Amount Increase

Under the Policy, there is a $100 fee upon each non-scheduled request to increase the Basic Face Amount and cover costs incurred in evaluating insurability. Currently, we are not imposing this charge.

Annual Renewable Term Rider-Last Survivor Unscheduled Face Amount Increase

Under the Policy, there is a $200 fee upon each non-scheduled request to increase the Basic Face Amount and cover costs incurred in evaluating insurability. Currently, we are not imposing this charge.

SVER Term Insurance Rider – Last Survivor

Under the Policy, there is a $200 fee upon increase. Currently, we are not imposing this charge.

Loan Interest

Currently, there is a loan interest charge of 2.75% for the amount you borrow. In addition to the loan interest charge, the amount used to secure the loan will be credited interest at a minimum amount of 2.50% to help offset the loan interest charge of 2.75%. Loan interest on the Loan Account and Policy Debt accrues daily and any loan interest on each Policy Anniversary will be added to the Loan Account. On each Policy Anniversary, we transfer the excess of the Policy Debt over Loan Account Value from the Investment Options to the Loan Account. If the Loan Account Value is greater than Policy Debt, then such excess is transferred from the Loan Account to the Variable Options or the Fixed Account on a proportionate basis according to your most recent Allocation Instructions.

Fund Charges and Expenses

Each Fund pays advisory fees, any service and distribution (12b-1) fees, and other expenses. These fees and expenses are deducted from the assets of the Fund(s) and may vary from year to year. They are not fixed and are not part of the terms of your Policy. You will find more about Fund fees and expenses in each Fund’s prospectus. If you choose a Variable Investment Option, these fees and expenses affect you indirectly because they reduce Fund returns. Each Fund is governed by its own Board of Trustees or Board of Directors.

46


Lapsing and Reinstatement

There is no guarantee that your Policy will not lapse even if you pay your planned periodic premium. Your Policy will lapse if there is not enough Accumulated Value, after subtracting any Policy Debt, to cover the monthly charge on the day we make the deduction. This Policy offers a rider that provide no-lapse protection for a certain period if rider conditions are met. See the Short-Term No-Lapse Guarantee Rider in the OTHER BENEFITS AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY section.

Your Policy’s Accumulated Value is affected by the following:

 Loans or withdrawals you make from your Policy

 Certain Rider benefits paid from your Policy

 Not making planned periodic premium payments

 The performance of your Investment Options

 Charges under the Policy.

If there is not enough Accumulated Value to pay the Monthly Deduction, we deduct the amount that’s available and send you, and anyone you have assigned your Policy to, a notice telling you the amount to pay to keep your Policy In Force. The minimum amount you must pay to keep your Policy In Force is equal to three times the monthly charge that was due on the Monthly Payment Date when there was not enough Accumulated Value to pay the charge, plus premium load. For more information regarding payment due to keep your Policy In Force, please contact our Life Insurance Division.

We will give you a Grace Period of 61 days from the date we send the notice to pay sufficient premium to keep your Policy In Force. Your Policy will remain In Force during the Grace Period.

If we do not receive your payment within the Grace Period, your Policy will lapse with no value. This means we will end your life insurance Coverage.

If you make the minimum payment

If we receive your payment within the Grace Period, we will allocate your Net Premium on the day it is received to the Investment Options you have chosen and deduct the monthly charge from your Investment Options in proportion to the Accumulated Value you have in each Investment Option at the next policy monthly payment date.

If your Policy is in danger of lapsing and you have Policy Debt, you may find that making the minimum payment would cause the total premiums paid to exceed the maximum amount for your Policy’s Face Amount under tax laws. In that situation, we will not accept the portion of your payment that would exceed the maximum amount. To stop your Policy from lapsing, you will have to repay a portion of your Policy Debt.

Remember to tell us if your payment is a premium payment. Otherwise, we will treat it as a loan repayment.

How to avoid future lapsing

To stop your Policy from lapsing in the future, you may want to make larger or more frequent premium payments if tax laws permit it. Or if you have a Policy loan, you may want to repay a portion of it.

Paying Death Benefit Proceeds during the Grace Period

If the Survivor dies during the Grace Period, we will pay Death Benefit Proceeds to your Beneficiary. We will reduce the payment by any unpaid monthly charges and any Policy Debt.

Reinstating a lapsed Policy

If your Policy lapses, you have five years from the end of the Grace Period to apply for a reinstatement. We will consider your reinstatement request if you send us the following:

 A written application

 Evidence of insurability satisfactory to us for each Insured who was alive on the date of lapse

 A premium payment sufficient, after deduction of premium load, to:

 Cover all unpaid monthly charges and Policy loan interest that were due in the Grace Period, and

 Keep your Policy In Force for three months after the day your Policy is reinstated.

We will reinstate your Policy as of the first Monthly Payment Date on or after the day we approve the reinstatement. When we reinstate your Policy, its Accumulated Value will be the same as it was on the day your Policy lapsed. We will allocate the Accumulated Value according to your most recent premium allocation instructions.

At reinstatement:

 Surrender charges and Policy charges other than Cost of Insurance Charges will resume on their schedule as of the Monthly Payment Date when lapse occurred.

47


 Cost of Insurance Charges will be calculated using Cost of Insurance Rates that resume their original schedule as if lapse had never occurred, reflecting the Insureds’ Ages at reinstatement and policy duration measured from the original Policy Date.

Reinstating a lapsed Policy with Policy Debt

If you had Policy Debt when your Policy lapsed, we will not pay or credit interest on it during the period between the lapsing and reinstatement of your Policy. There are special rules that apply to reinstating a Policy with Policy Debt:

 If we reinstate your Policy on any Monthly Payment Date other than the Monthly Payment Date that immediately follows the lapse, we will deduct the Policy Debt from your Policy’s Accumulated Value. This means you will no longer have Policy Debt when your Policy is reinstated. However, we will reinstate your Policy Debt if you ask us to in writing.

 Please be advised that reinstatement will not change any tax reporting as a result of the policy lapse. We encourage you to consult with your tax advisor.

Short-Term No-Lapse Guarantee Rider

Subject to state availability, if you meet certain requirements, your Policy has a No Lapse Guarantee Rider (“No Lapse Rider”). The No Lapse Rider may continue your Policy if it would otherwise lapse. For more information, please see OPTIONAL RIDERS AND BENEFITS.

48


YOUR INVESTMENT OPTIONS

You can find a complete list of the Variable Investment Options available under this Policy in the APPENDIX: FUNDS AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY section in this prospectus.

We put your Net Premium in our General Account and Separate Account. We own the assets in our accounts and allocate your Net Premiums, less any charges, to the Investment Options you have chosen. Amounts allocated to any available Fixed Options are held in our General Account. Amounts allocated to the Variable Investment Options are held in our Separate Account. You will find information about when we allocate Net Premiums to your Investment Options in the HOW PREMIUMS WORK section in this prospectus.

You choose your initial Investment Options on your application. If you choose more than one Investment Option, you must tell us the dollar amount or percentage you want to allocate to each Investment Option. You can change your premium allocation instructions at any time.

You can change your premium allocation instructions by writing or sending a fax. If we have your completed telephone and electronic authorization on file, you can call us at (800) 347-7787 or submit a request electronically. Or you can ask your life insurance producer to contact us. You will find more information regarding telephone and electronic instructions in the POLICY BASICS section in this prospectus.

The Investment Options you choose, and how they perform, will affect your Policy’s Accumulated Value and may affect the Death Benefit. Please review the Investment Options carefully. You may ask your life insurance producer to help you choose the right ones for your goals and tolerance for risk. Any financial firm or representative you engage to provide advice and/or make transfers for you is not acting on our behalf. We are not responsible for any investment decisions or allocations you make, recommendations such financial representatives make or any allocations or specific transfers they choose to make on your behalf. Some broker-dealers may not allow or may limit the amount you may allocate to certain Investment Options. Work with your life insurance producer to help you choose the right Investment Options for your investment goals and risk tolerance. Make sure you understand any costs you may pay directly and indirectly on your Investment Options because they will affect the value of your Policy.

Certain of the asset allocation Fund(s), including the Pacific Select Fund asset allocation portfolios, may use futures and options to reduce the Fund(s) equity exposure during periods when market indicators suggest high market volatility. This strategy is designed to reduce the risk of market losses from investing in equity securities. However, this strategy may result in periods of underperformance, including periods when specified benchmark indexes are appreciating but market volatility is high. As a result, your Accumulated Value may increase less than it would have without these defensive actions.

We are not responsible for the operation of the underlying Funds or any of their portfolios. We also are not responsible for ensuring that the underlying Funds and their portfolios comply with any laws that apply.

Calculating unit values

When you choose a Variable Investment Option, we credit your Policy with accumulation units. The number of units we credit equals the amount we have allocated divided by the unit value of the Variable Account. Similarly, the number of accumulation units in your Policy will be reduced when you make a transfer, withdrawal or loan from a Variable Investment Option, and when your monthly charges are deducted.

   
 

An example

 
 

You ask us to allocate $6,000 to the Inflation Managed Investment Option on a Business Day. At the end of that day, the unit value of the Variable Account is $15. We will credit your Policy with 400 units ($6,000 divided by $15).

 

The value of an accumulation unit is the basis for all financial transactions relating to the Variable Investment Options. The value of an accumulation unit is not the same as the value of a share in the underlying Fund. We calculate the unit value for each Variable Account once every Business Day, usually at or about 4:00 p.m. Eastern time.

Generally, for any transaction, we will use the next unit value calculated after we receive your Written Request. If we receive your Written Request before the time of the close of the New York Stock Exchange, which is usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, on a Business Day, we will use the unit value calculated as of the end of that Business Day. If we receive your request at or after the time of the close of the New York Stock Exchange on a Business Day, we will use the unit value calculated as of the end of the next Business Day.

If a scheduled transaction falls on a day that is not a Business Day, we will process it as of the end of the next Business Day. For your monthly charge, we will use the unit value calculated on your Monthly Payment Date. If your Monthly Payment Date does not fall on a Business Day, we will use the unit value calculated as of the end of the next Business Day. For information about timing of transactions, see the POLICY BASICS section in this prospectus.

The unit value calculation is based on the following:

 The investment performance of the underlying Fund

49


 Any dividends or distributions paid by the underlying Fund

 Any charges for any taxes that are, or may become, associated with the operation of the Variable Account.

The unit value of a Variable Account will change with the value of its corresponding Fund. Changes in the unit value of a Variable Account will not change the number of accumulation units credited to your Policy. For unit values please go to www.pacificlife.com.

Fixed Options

You can also choose from two Fixed Options: Fixed Account and the Fixed LT Account. Fixed Account may earn a lower declared interest rate and has more flexible allocation rules than the Fixed LT Account. The Fixed LT Account may earn a higher declared interest rate but has stricter allocation rules than the Fixed Account . See the YOUR INVESTMENT OPTIONS – Transferring Among Investment Options and Market-timing Restrictions section in this prospectus for information on the allocation rules.

The Fixed Options provide a guaranteed minimum annual rate of interest. The amounts allocated to the Fixed Options are held in our General Account. For more information about the General Account, see the ABOUT PACIFIC LIFE section in this prospectus.

Here are some things you need to know about the Fixed Options:

 Accumulated Value allocated to the Fixed Options earns interest on a daily basis, using a 365-day year. Our minimum annual interest rate is 2.50%.

 We may offer a higher annual interest rate on the Fixed Options. If we do, we will guarantee the higher rate until your next Policy Anniversary.

 There are no direct charges. Policy charges still apply. Although the Fixed Account provides a guaranteed minimum interest rate, as a General Account asset, any guarantee is backed by our claims paying ability.

 There are limitations on when and how much you can transfer from the Fixed Options. These limitations are described below, in the YOUR INVESTMENT OPTIONS – Transferring Among Investment Options and Market-timing Restrictions section in this prospectus. It may take several Policy Years to transfer your Accumulated Value out of the Fixed Account.

 We may place a limit of $1,000,000 for Net Premiums and $100,000 for loan repayments and transfers allocated to the Fixed Options in any 12-month period. This is an aggregate limit for all Pacific Life policies you own. Any allocations in excess of these limits will be allocated to your other Investment Options according to your most recent instructions. We may increase the limits at any time at our sole discretion. To find out if higher limits are in effect, ask your life insurance producer or contact us.

 We have not registered the Fixed Options with the SEC. Disclosures regarding the Fixed Options, however, are subject to certain generally applicable provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in the prospectus.

 We may add, terminate, or suspend one or more of the Fixed Options at any time. We will notify you before any such changes occur.

Transferring Among Investment Options and Market-timing Restrictions

Transfers

You can transfer among your Investment Options any time during the life of your Policy without triggering any current income tax. If your state requires us to refund your premiums when you exercise your Free Look Right, you can make transfers and use transfer programs only after the Free Look Transfer Date. Your transfer of Accumulated Value on the Free Look Transfer Date does not count as a transfer for purpose of applying the limitations described in this section. You can make transfers by writing to us, by making a telephone or electronic transfer, or by signing up for one of our automatic transfer services. You will find more information about making telephone and electronic transfers in the POLICY BASICS section of this prospectus.

Transfers will normally be effective as of the end of the Business Day we receive your written, telephone or electronic request.

Here are some things you need to know about making transfers:

 Transfers are limited to 25 for each calendar year.

 If you have used all 25 transfers available to you in a calendar year, you may no longer make transfers between the Investment Options until the start of the next calendar year. However, you may make 1 transfer of all or a portion of your Policy’s Accumulated Value remaining in the Variable Investment Options into the Fidelity® VIP Government Money Market Variable Account prior to the start of the next calendar year.

 You may only make 2 transfers in any calendar month to or from each of the following Investment Options:

    

American Funds IS Asset Allocation Fund Class 4

Fidelity® VIP Freedom 2015 Service Class 2

Fidelity® VIP Freedom 2045 Service Class 2

T. Rowe Price Blue Chip Growth Portfolio – II

American Funds IS Growth Fund Class 4

Fidelity® VIP Freedom 2020 Service Class 2

Fidelity® VIP Freedom Income Service Class 2

T. Rowe Price Equity Income Portfolio – II

50


    

American Funds IS Growth-Income Fund Class 4

Fidelity® VIP Freedom 2025 Service Class 2

Fidelity® VIP Growth Service Class 2

 

Fidelity® VIP Contrafund Service Class 2

Fidelity® VIP Freedom 2030 Service Class 2

Fidelity® VIP Mid Cap Service Class 2

 

Fidelity® VIP Freedom 2010 Service Class 2

Fidelity® VIP Freedom 2035 Service Class 2

Fidelity® VIP Value Strategies Service Class 2

 

For example, if you transfer from the American Funds IS Asset Allocation Fund Class 4 to the American Funds IS Growth Fund Class 4, that counts as one transfer for each Investment Option. Only one more transfer involving those two Investment Options can occur during the calendar month. If you later transfer from the Fidelity VIP Value Strategies Service Class 2 to the American Funds IS Asset Allocation Fund Class 4, that would be the second transfer in the calendar month involving the American Funds IS Asset Allocation Fund Class 4 and that Investment Option is no longer available for the remainder of the calendar month. All other Investment Options listed above would still be available to transfer into or out of for the remainder of the calendar month.

 Additionally, only 2 transfers in any calendar month may involve any of the following Investment Options:

    

BlackRock Global Allocation V.I. Fund Class III

Lazard Retirement Global Dynamic Multi-Asset Portfolio Service Shares

Templeton Foreign VIP Fund Class 2

Western Asset Variable Global High Yield Bond Portfolio Class II

   

Invesco V.I. Global Fund Series II

Lazard Retirement International Equity Portfolio Service Shares

Templeton Global Bond VIP Fund Class 2

 

Janus Henderson Overseas Portfolio Service Class

PIMCO Global Managed Asset Allocation Portfolio - Advisor Class

VanEck VIP Global Resources Fund Initial Class

 
  

Variable Account I

(M International Equity Fund)

 

For example, if you transfer from the BlackRock Global Allocation V.I. Fund Class III to the Invesco V.I. Global Fund Series II, that counts as one transfer for the calendar month. If you later transfer from the Templeton Foreign VIP Fund Class 2 to the Templeton Global Bond VIP Fund Class 2, that would be the second transfer for the calendar month and no more transfers will be allowed for any of the Investment Options listed above for the remainder of the calendar month.

 For the purpose of applying the limitations, multiple transfers that occur on the same day are considered 1 transfer. Transfers into the Loan Account, a transfer of Accumulated Value from the Loan Account into your Investment Options following a loan payment, transfers that occur as a result of the dollar cost averaging service, the portfolio rebalancing service, Fixed Option interest sweep service, approved corporate owned life insurance policy rebalancing programs, the first year transfer service or an approved asset allocation service are excluded from the transfer limitations. Also, allocations of premium payments are not subject to these limitations.

 Transfers to or from a Variable Investment Option cannot be made before the seventh calendar day following the last transfer to or from the same Variable Investment Option. If the seventh calendar day is not a Business Day, then a transfer may not occur until the next Business Day. The day of the last transfer is not considered a calendar day for purposes of meeting this requirement. For example, if you make a transfer into the Equity Index Variable Investment Option on Monday, you may not make any transfers to or from that Variable Investment Option before the following Monday. Transfers to or from the Fidelity® VIP Government Money Market Variable Account are excluded from this limitation.

 You can make transfers from the Variable Investment Options into the Fixed Account at any time during the policy year. You can make transfers from the Variable Investment Options to the Fixed LT Account 30 days prior to and 30 days after each Policy Anniversary. All transfers are subject to any limitations we place on the Fixed Options for Net Premium, loan repayments or transfers (see YOUR INVESTMENT OPTIONS – Fixed Options).

 You can make one transfer in any 12-month period from each Fixed Option, except if you have signed up for the first year transfer service (see the YOUR INVESTMENT OPTIONS – Transfer Services section in this prospectus). Such transfers are limited to:

 Transfer from the Fixed Account: the greater of $5,000, 25% of your Policy’s Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account, or the amount transferred from the Fixed Account to the Variable Accounts in the prior year. You may transfer 100% of the value in the Fixed Account to the Fixed LT Account.

 Transfer from the Fixed LT Account: the greater of $5,000, 10% of your Policy’s Accumulated Value in the Fixed LT Account, or the amount transferred from the Fixed LT Account to the Variable Accounts or Fixed Account in the prior year.

 We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to waive the transfer restrictions on the Fixed Options. Please contact us or your life insurance producer to find out if a waiver is currently in effect.

51


 Currently, there is no charge for making a transfer but we may charge you in the future. The maximum fee we will charge for a transfer is $25 per transfer in excess of 12 per Policy Year.

 There is no minimum required value for the Investment Option you are transferring to or from.

 There is no minimum amount required if you are making transfers between Variable Investment Options.

 You cannot make a transfer if your Policy is in the Grace Period and is in danger of lapsing.

 We can restrict or suspend transfers.

 We will notify you or your representative if we refuse or delay your transfer request.

 We have the right to impose limits on transfer amounts, the value of the Investment Options you are transferring to or from, or impose further limits on the number and frequency of transfers you can make. Any policy we establish with regard to the exercise of any of these rights will be applied uniformly to all Policy Owners.

There are no exceptions to the above transfer limitations in the absence of an error by us, a substitution of Investment Options, reorganization of underlying Funds, or other extraordinary circumstances.

Market-timing restrictions

The Policy is not designed to serve as a vehicle for frequent trading in response to short-term fluctuations in the market. Accordingly, organizations or individuals that use market-timing investment strategies and make frequent transfers should not purchase the Policy. Such frequent trading can disrupt management of the underlying Funds and raise expenses. The transfer limitations set forth above are intended to reduce frequent trading. As required by SEC regulation (Rule 22c-2 of the 1940 Act), we entered into written agreements with each Fund or its principal underwriter that require us to provide to a Fund, upon Fund request, certain information about the trading activity of individual Contract Owners. The agreement requires us to execute any Fund instructions we receive that restrict or prohibit further purchases or transfers by specific Contract Owners who violate the frequent trading or market timing policies established by a Fund. The policies of a Fund may be more restrictive than our policies or the policies of other Funds. See the Fund prospectuses for additional information.

In addition, we monitor certain large transaction activity in an attempt to detect trading that may be disruptive to the Funds. In the event transfer activity is found to be disruptive, certain future subsequent transfers by such Policy Owners, or by a life insurance producer or other party acting on behalf of one or more Policy Owners, will require preclearance. Frequent trading and large transactions that are disruptive to Fund management can have an adverse effect on Fund performance and therefore your Policy’s performance. Such trading may also cause dilution in the value of the Investment Options held by long-term Policy Owners. While these issues can occur in connection with any of the underlying Funds, Funds holding securities that are subject to market pricing inefficiencies are more susceptible to abuse. For example, Funds holding international securities may be more susceptible to time-zone arbitrage which seeks to take advantage of pricing discrepancies occurring between the time of the closing of the market on which the security is traded and the time of pricing of the Fund.

Our policies and procedures which limit the number and frequency of transfers and which may impose preclearance requirements on certain large transactions are applied uniformly to all Policy Owners, subject to the transfer restrictions outlined above. However, there is a risk that these policies and procedures will not detect all potentially disruptive activity or will otherwise prove ineffective in whole or in part. Further, we and our affiliates make available to our variable life insurance policy owners and variable annuity contract owners underlying Funds not affiliated with us. We are unable to monitor or restrict the trading activity with respect to shares of such Funds not sold in connection with our contracts. In the event the Board of Trustees/Directors of any underlying Fund imposes a redemption fee or trading (transfers) limitations, we will pass them on to you.

We reserve the right to restrict, in our sole discretion and without prior notice, transfers initiated by a market timing organization or individual or other party authorized to give transfer instructions on behalf of multiple Policy Owners. Such restrictions could include:

 Not accepting transfer instructions from a representative acting on behalf of more than one Policy Owner, and

 Not accepting preauthorized transfer forms from market timers or other entities acting on behalf of more than one Policy Owner at a time.

We further reserve the right to impose, without prior notice, restrictions on transfers that we determine, in our sole discretion, will disadvantage or potentially hurt the rights or interests of other policy owners.

Transfer Services

We offer several services that allow you to make transfers of Accumulated Value or interest earnings from one Investment Option to another. Under the dollar cost averaging and portfolio rebalancing services, you can transfer among the Variable Investment Options. Under the first year transfer service, you can make transfers from the Fixed Account to the Fixed LT Account and the Variable Investment Options. Under the Fixed Option interest sweep service, you can transfer interest earnings from the Fixed Account or Fixed LT Account to the Variable Investment Options.

52


We may restrict the number of transfer services in which you can participate at any time. We have the right to discontinue, modify or suspend any of these transfer services at any time.

Detailed information regarding each transfer service appears in the SAI.

Dollar cost averaging

Our dollar cost averaging service allows you to make scheduled transfers of $50 or more between Variable Investment Options. It does not allow you to make transfers to or from either of the Fixed Options. We process transfers as of the end of the Business Day on your Policy’s monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual anniversary, depending on the interval you choose. You must have at least $5,000 in a Variable Investment Option to start the service.

Since the value of accumulation units can change, more units are credited for a scheduled transfer when unit values are lower, and fewer units when unit values are higher. This allows you to average the cost of investments over time. By making allocations on a regularly scheduled basis, instead of on a lump sum basis, you may reduce exposure to market volatility. Investing this way does not guarantee profits or prevent losses.

We will not charge you for the dollar cost averaging service or for transfers made under this service, even if we decide to charge you in the future for transfers outside of the service, except if we have to by law.

Example

You instruct us to transfer $12,000 of Accumulated Value from one Variable Investment Option to another Variable Investment Option that you select over a 12-month period. Each month, we will transfer $1,000 based on the instructions provided.

Portfolio rebalancing

As the value of the underlying Funds changes, the value of the allocations to the Variable Investment Options will also change. The portfolio rebalancing service automatically transfers your Policy’s Accumulated Value among the Variable Investment Options according to your original percentage allocations. We process transfers as of the end of the Business Day on your Policy’s next quarterly, semi-annual or annual anniversary, depending on the interval you choose, unless you specify a different start date.

Because the portfolio rebalancing service matches your original percentage allocations, we may transfer money from an Investment Option with relatively higher returns to one with relatively lower returns.

We do not charge for the portfolio rebalancing service and we do not currently charge for transfers made under this service. If imposed, transfer fees could be substantial if total transfers scheduled under this service plus any unscheduled transfers you request exceed any applicable minimum guarantee of free transfers per Policy Year.

If at any time you move all or any portion of your Policy’s Accumulated Value out of the Investment Options you selected at the time you enrolled in the portfolio rebalancing service, your enrollment will be cancelled. Once the portfolio rebalancing service is cancelled, you must wait 30 days before you can re-enroll.

Example

You allocate 25% of your Accumulated Value to four different Variable Investment Options (e.g. Variable Investment Option A, B, C and D) and instruct us to maintain that allocation every three months. You elect to have your Variable Investment Options rebalanced quarterly measured from the date your Policy was issued. Over the three-month period, the Accumulated Value in each of your Variable Investment Options will change due to market fluctuations. At the end of the three-month period, we will rebalance your values (buy and sell accumulation units) so that the Accumulated Value in each Variable Investment Option is back to 25% of the Accumulated Value.

First year transfer

Our first year transfer service allows you to make transfers from the Fixed Account to the Variable Investment Options or the Fixed LT Account during the Policy's first year. It does not allow you to transfer among Variable Investment Options. You enroll in the service when you apply for your Policy using the New Business Variable Life Optional Services form.

This service allows you to average the cost of investments over the first 12 months from the date your initial premium is applied to your Policy. Investing this way does not guarantee profits or prevent losses.

We do not charge for the first year transfer service and we do not currently charge for transfers made under this service. If imposed, transfer fees could be substantial if total transfers scheduled under this service plus any unscheduled transfers you request exceed any applicable minimum guarantee of free transfers per Policy Year.

Example

A Policy is issued and Accumulated Value is allocated to the Fixed Account with a request to use the first year transfer service. You choose the amount you want transferred each month for the first 12 months of the Policy. If you allocated $20,000 to the Fixed Account and instructed us to transfer $1,000 per month, we will transfer $1,000 for 12 consecutive months. After the 12 months, the service will terminate.

53


Fixed Option interest sweep

The Fixed Option interest sweep service allows you to make scheduled transfers of the accumulated interest earnings from your Fixed Account or Fixed LT Account to the Variable Investment Options. At the time you complete the election form for the Fixed Option interest sweep service, you will select either the Fixed Account or the Fixed LT Account as the account from which you want to transfer interest earnings. You will also select the Variable Investment Options to which you wish to transfer the interest earnings. Interest earnings subject to transfer under the Fixed Option interest sweep service will begin to accrue on the Policy’s first monthly anniversary following your enrollment in the service. Each transfer must be at least $50. If the fixed account option you selected on the election form does not have interest earnings of at least $50, the transfer will be held until the next scheduled transfer date when the interest earnings are at least $50. Amounts transferred under the Fixed Option interest sweep service do not count against the Fixed Option transfer limitations or Investment Option transfer restrictions.

We do not charge for the Fixed Option interest sweep service and we do not currently charge for transfers made under this service. If imposed, transfer fees could be substantial if total transfers scheduled under this service plus any unscheduled transfers you request exceed any applicable minimum guarantee of free transfers per Policy Year.

54


WITHDRAWALS, SURRENDERS AND LOANS

You can take out all or part of your Policy’s Accumulated Value while your Policy is In Force by making withdrawals or surrendering your Policy. You can take out a loan using your Policy as security. You can also use your Policy’s loan and withdrawal features to supplement your income, for example, during retirement.

Making a withdrawal, taking out a loan or surrendering your Policy can change your Policy’s tax status, generate taxable income, or make your Policy more susceptible to lapsing. Withdrawals and surrenders may have tax consequences, including a possible tax penalty if withdrawn before age 59½. Be sure to plan carefully before using these Policy benefits.

If you withdraw a larger amount than your investment in your Policy, or if your Policy is classified as a Modified Endowment Contract, your withdrawal may be considered taxable income.

For more information on the tax treatment of withdrawals or loans, or in the event you surrender your Policy, see the VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE AND YOUR TAXES section in this prospectus.

Making Withdrawals

You can withdraw part of your Policy’s Net Cash Surrender Value starting on your Policy’s first anniversary. Here’s how it works:

 You must send us a Written Request that’s signed by all owners.

 Each withdrawal must be at least $200, and the Net Cash Surrender Value of your Policy after the withdrawal must be at least $500.

 We will not accept your request to make a withdrawal if it will cause your Policy to become a Modified Endowment Contract, unless you have told us in writing that you want your Policy to become a Modified Endowment Contract.

 We may charge you $25 for each withdrawal you make. (There is no charge currently imposed upon a withdrawal.)

 You can choose to receive your withdrawal in a lump sum or use it to elect an income benefit. Please see the discussion about income benefits in GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR POLICY.

 If you do not tell us which Investment Options to take the withdrawal from, we will deduct the withdrawal and any withdrawal charge from all of your Investment Options in proportion to the Accumulated Value you have in each Investment Option.

 The Accumulated Value, Cash Surrender Value and Net Cash Surrender Value of your Policy will be reduced by the amount of each withdrawal.

 If the Survivor dies after you have sent a withdrawal request to us, but before we have made the withdrawal, we will deduct the amount of the withdrawal from any Death Benefit Proceeds owing.

How withdrawals affect your Policy’s Death Benefit

Making a withdrawal will affect your Policy’s Death Benefit in the following ways:

 If your Policy’s Death Benefit does not equal the Minimum Death Benefit, the Death Benefit may decrease by the amount of your withdrawal.

 If your Policy’s Death Benefit equals the Minimum Death Benefit, the Death Benefit may decrease by more than the amount of your withdrawal.

How withdrawals affect your Policy’s Face Amount

If you have chosen Death Benefit Option B or Option C making a withdrawal does not reduce your Policy’s Total Face Amount.

If you have chosen Death Benefit Option A, then a withdrawal may reduce your Policy’s Total Face Amount; however, the first withdrawal of each year in the first 15 Policy Years up to the lesser of $10,000 or 10% of the Net Cash Surrender Value will not reduce the Policy’s Total Face Amount. If you withdraw a larger amount, or make additional withdrawals, the Total Face Amount will usually be reduced by the amount, if any, by which the Total Face Amount exceeds the result of the Death Benefit immediately before the withdrawal minus the amount of the withdrawal. For Policies with Death Benefit Option A and the Guideline Premium Test election, the Total Face Amount reduction following a withdrawal may be limited to keep the Guideline Premium Limit greater than zero at all times prior to Age 100.

We reserve the right to refuse any withdrawal request that would reduce the Policy’s Total Face Amount to less than $1,000 after the withdrawal.

55


   
 

An example

 
 

For a Policy with a Total Face Amount of $250,000 and a Surrender Value of $80,000, the Owner may withdraw the lesser of $10,000 or $8,000 (10% × $80,000) without any reduction in Total Face Amount.

Example 1: Owner requests a withdrawal of $6,000. There will be no reduction in Total Face Amount.

Example 2: Owner requests a withdrawal of $10,000. The Total Face Amount reduction is the amount of the withdrawal, less the allowable withdrawal amount, or $2,000 ($10,000 – $8,000 = $2,000). The Total Face Amount following the withdrawal is $248,000 ($250,000 – $2,000 = $248,000).

 

Taking Out a Loan

You can borrow money from us any time after the free look period. Generally, the minimum amount you can borrow is $200, unless there are other restrictions in your state. See the APPENDIX: STATE LAW VARIATIONS section in this prospectus for a list of state variations to the minimum loan amount. The maximum amount available to borrow is less than 100% of your Accumulated Value.

Taking out a loan will affect the growth of your Policy’s Accumulated Value, and may affect the Death Benefit.

You may request a loan either by sending us a request in writing, over the telephone or electronically. You will find more information about requesting a loan by telephone or electronically in the POLICY BASICS section in this prospectus.

When you borrow money from us, we use your Policy’s Accumulated Value as security. You pay interest on the amount you borrow. The Accumulated Value set aside to secure your loan also earns interest. Here’s how it works:

 To secure the loan, we transfer an amount equal to the amount you are borrowing from your Accumulated Value in the Investment Options to the Loan Account. We will transfer this amount from your Investment Options in proportion to the Accumulated Value you have in each Investment Option, unless you tell us otherwise.

 Interest owing on the amount you have borrowed accrues daily at an annual rate of 2.75%. Interest that has accrued during the Policy Year is due on your Policy Anniversary.

 The amount in the Loan Account earns interest daily at an annual rate of at least 2.50%. On each Policy Anniversary, if the Policy Debt exceeds the Loan Account Value, then the excess is transferred from your Policy’s Investment Options to the Loan Account on a proportionate basis to the Loan Account. If the Loan Account Value exceeds Policy Debt, then the excess will be transferred from the Loan Account to the Investment Options according to your most recent premium allocation instructions.

 We currently intend to credit interest on the amount in the Loan Account at an annual rate of 2.75% in Policy Year 6 and thereafter. We can decrease the rate credited if we believe the change is needed to ensure that your Policy loan is not treated as a taxable distribution under federal income tax laws, or under any applicable ruling, regulation, or court decision. We will not decrease the annual rate to less than 2.50% on the amount in the Loan Account.

How much you can borrow

The maximum amount you may borrow on any date is equal to the Accumulated Value less:

 Three times the most recent monthly deduction;

 Any surrender charge; and

 Any existing Policy Debt.

   
 

An example of how much you can borrow

 
 

For a Policy in Policy Year 5 with:

 
 

 Accumulated Value of $100,000

 Policy Debt of $60,000

 A most recent monthly deduction of $225

 A surrender charge of $5,000 if the Policy was surrendered on the day the loan is taken.

 
 

The maximum amount you can borrow is $34,325. (100,000 – (3 × 225) – 5,000 – 60,000)

 

Paying off your Policy Debt

You can pay off all or part of the Policy Debt any time while your Policy is In Force. Unless you tell us otherwise, we will generally transfer any loan payments you make proportionately to your Investment Options according to your most recent allocation instructions. We may, however, first transfer any loan payments you make to the Fixed Options, up to the amount originally transferred from the Fixed Options to the Loan Account. We will then transfer any excess amount to your Variable Investment Options according to your most recent premium allocation instructions.

While you have Policy Debt, we will treat any money you send us as a loan repayment unless you tell us otherwise in writing.

You can make monthly loan payments using our Electronic Funds Transfer Plan. Please see the HOW PREMIUMS WORK-Paying Your Premium-Monthly Electronic Funds Transfer Plan section in this prospectus for details.

56


What happens if you do not pay off your loan?

If you do not pay off your loan, we will deduct the Policy Debt from one of the following:

 The Death Benefit Proceeds before we pay them to your Beneficiary;

 The Cash Surrender Value if you surrender your Policy.

Taking out a loan, whether or not you repay it, will have a permanent effect on the value of your Policy. For example, while your Policy’s Accumulated Value is held in the Loan Account, it will miss out on all earnings available in the Investment Options. The amount of interest you earn on the Loan Account may also be less than the amount of interest you would have earned from the Fixed Options. These could lower your Policy’s Accumulated Value, which could reduce the amount of the Death Benefit.

When a loan is outstanding, the amount in the Loan Account is not available to help pay for any Policy charges. If, after deducting your Policy Debt, there is not enough Accumulated Value in your Policy to cover the Policy charges, your Policy could lapse. You may need to make additional premium payments or loan repayments to prevent your Policy from lapsing.

Your Policy Debt could result in taxable income if you surrender your Policy, if your Policy lapses, or if your Policy is a Modified Endowment Contract. You should talk to your tax advisor before taking out a loan under your Policy. See the VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE AND YOUR TAXES – Taxation of Distributions section in this prospectus.

Ways to Use Your Policy’s Loan and Withdrawal Features

You can use your Policy’s loan and withdrawal features to supplement your income, for example, during retirement. If you are interested in using your life insurance Policy to supplement your retirement income, please contact us for more information.

Setting up an income stream may not be suitable for all Policy Owners.

Here are some things you should consider when setting up an income stream:

 The rate of return you expect to earn on your Investment Options

 How long you would like to receive regular income

 The amount of Accumulated Value you want to maintain in your Policy.

You can ask your life insurance producer for Illustrations showing how Policy charges may affect existing Accumulated Value and how future withdrawals and loans may affect the Accumulated Value and Death Benefit. You can also ask for accompanying charts and graphs that compare results from various retirement strategies.

Understanding the risks

Using your Policy to supplement your income does not change your rights or our obligations under the Policy. The terms for loans and withdrawals described in this prospectus remain the same. It is important to understand the risks that are involved in using your Policy’s loan and withdrawal features. Use of these features may increase the chance of your Policy lapsing.

You should consult with your financial adviser and carefully consider how much you can withdraw and borrow from your Policy each year to set up your income stream.

Automated Income Option

Our automated income option (“AIO”) program allows you to make scheduled withdrawals or loans. Your Policy is eligible after the 7th Policy Anniversary. To begin the program, you must have a minimum Net Cash Surrender Value of $50,000, and your Policy must not qualify as a Modified Endowment Contract.

You request participation in the AIO program and specify your AIO preferences by sending us an AIO Request Form. If you wish to do so, contact your life insurance producer for an AIO Request Form.

There is no fee to participate in the AIO program. The $25 fee for withdrawals under the AIO program is currently waived.

Withdrawals and loans may reduce Policy values and benefits. They may also increase your risk of lapse. In order to minimize the risk of lapse, you should not take additional loans or withdrawals while you are in the AIO program.

Withdrawals and loans under the AIO program may result in tax liability. Please consult your tax advisor. For more information, see the VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE AND YOUR TAXES section in this prospectus.

You may discontinue participation in the AIO program at any time by sending a Written Request to us.

Detailed information appears in the SAI.

Surrendering Your Policy

You can surrender or cash in your Policy at any time it is In Force.

Here are some things you need to know about surrendering your Policy:

57


 You must send us your Policy and a Written Request.

 If a premium payment of over $1,000 was received within 10 business days of the surrender request, the premium amount received may be withheld from the surrender proceeds until we obtain verification the payment cleared the bank. The amount withheld will be noted on our surrender confirmation letter and a separate letter will be provided when the remainder of the proceeds are disbursed.

 We will send you the Policy’s Net Cash Surrender Value. You can choose to receive your money in a lump sum or use it to elect an income benefit. Please see GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR POLICY – Income Benefit.

 If you surrender your Policy during the first 10 Policy Years, we will deduct a surrender charge.

 Each Coverage Layer has a surrender charge, based on the Face Amount of each Coverage Layer and the Age and Risk Class of the Insureds, and the Death Benefit Option, on the date each Coverage Layer is effective. If you increase your Policy’s Face Amount, we will send you a supplemental schedule of benefits that shows the surrender charge factors associated with the increase.

Your Policy’s surrender charge is calculated using an Initial Amount, Reduction Factor, and End Year, which will be shown in your Policy Specifications. During the Level Period, the Surrender Charge is equal to the initial amount. After the Level Period, the Surrender Charge decreases on each Monthly Payment Date by 112 of the Reduction Factor until it becomes zero after the End Year.

  
 

Example

 

For a Policy that insures a male non-smoker Age 56 and a female non-smoker Age 53 when the Policy is issued, with a Face Amount of $1,000,000

Initial Amount = $11,000.00
Reduction Factor = $
2,200.00
End Year = 10

During the first 60 Policy months, the surrender charge is: $11,000.00

In Policy month 61, the surrender charge is: $10,816.67 ($11,000.00 - (2,200.00 ÷ 12))

 There is no surrender charge on any Coverage Layer after 10 Policy years from the date the Coverage Layer is effective.

 We guarantee the Surrender Charge rates for any Coverage Layer will not increase.

 If you decrease the Face Amount, the decrease will not affect your Policy’s Surrender Charge.

If your Policy is issued in Texas, if you surrender your Policy within 30 days of your Policy Anniversary, the Accumulated Value in the Fixed Options will not be less than it was on that Policy Anniversary as long as you have not made any transfers, withdrawals or Policy loans during such time.

58


GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR POLICY

This section tells you some additional things you should know about your Policy.

Income Benefit

If you surrender or make a withdrawal from your Policy, you can use the money to elect an income benefit that provides a monthly income. Your Policy’s Beneficiary can use Death Benefit Proceeds to elect an income benefit. In addition to the income benefit described below, you can choose from other income benefits we may make available from time to time.

The following is one income benefit available under the Policy:

 The income benefit is based on the life of the person receiving the income. If the Policy Owner elects the income benefit, monthly income will be based on the Owner’s life. If the Policy’s Beneficiary elects the income benefit, monthly income will be based on the Beneficiary’s life.

 We will pay a monthly income for at least 10 years regardless of whether the person receiving the income is still alive.

 After 10 years, we will only pay the monthly income for as long as the person receiving it is still alive.

 The minimum monthly income benefit calculated must be at least $100.

 For this income benefit, the amount you receive will always be at least as much as the amount guaranteed by your Policy.

Paying the Death Benefit in the Case of Suicide

If both Insureds commit suicide, or if the Survivor commits suicide, within two years of the Policy Date, while sane or insane, Death Benefit Proceeds will be the total of all premiums you have paid, less any Policy Debt and any withdrawals you have made.

If you reinstate your Policy and both Insureds commit suicide, or if the Survivor commits suicide, while sane or insane, within two years of the latest reinstatement date, the Death Benefit Proceeds will be the sum of the premiums paid, less the sum of any Policy loans and withdrawals taken, since the latest reinstatement date.

If both Insureds commit suicide, or if the Survivor commits suicide, while sane or insane, after two years from the Policy Date but within two years of any increase in Total Face Amount or, if applicable, the latest reinstatement after any such increase, the Death Benefit Proceeds will be limited by the following adjustments:

1) Any such increase in Total Face Amount will be excluded;

2) Refund of the portion of monthly deductions associated with any such increase will be included; and

3) Premium load associated with the portion of monthly deductions referred to in 2) above will be included.

Replacement of Life Insurance or Annuities

The term replacement has a special meaning in the life insurance industry. Before you make a decision to buy, we want you to understand what impact a replacement may have on your existing insurance policy.

A replacement occurs when you buy a new life insurance policy or annuity contract, and a policy or contract you already own has been or will be:

 Lapsed, forfeited, surrendered or partially surrendered, assigned to the replacing insurer, or otherwise terminated;

 Converted to reduced paid-up insurance, continued as extended term insurance, or otherwise reduced in value by the use of nonforfeiture benefits or other policy values;

 Amended to effect either a reduction in benefits or in the term for which coverage would otherwise remain in force or for which benefits would be paid;

 Reissued with any reduction in cash value; or

 Pledged as collateral or subject to borrowing, whether in a single loan or under a schedule of borrowing over a period of time.

There are circumstances when replacing your existing life insurance policy or annuity contract can benefit you. As a general rule, however, replacement is not in your best interest. A replacement may affect your plan of insurance in the following ways:

 You will pay new acquisition costs;

 You may have to submit to new medical examinations;

 You may pay increased premiums because of the increased age or changed health of the Insureds;

 Claims made in the early policy years may be contested;

 You may have to pay surrender charges and/or income taxes on your current policy or contract values;

59


 Your new policy or contract values may be subject to surrender charges; and

 If part of a financed purchase, your existing policy or contract values or Death Benefit may be reduced.

You should carefully compare the costs and benefits of your existing policy or contract with those of the new policy or contract to determine whether replacement is in your best interest.

Policy Exchange

If your Policy is issued in Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland or North Dakota, you may exchange this Policy for a policy with benefits that do not vary with the investment results of a separate account. You must request this in writing within 18 months of your Policy Date and return the original Policy.

A policy exchange occurs when exercising a contractual right according to the terms of the Enhanced Policy Split Option Rider or Policy Split Option Rider. Please see the Optional Riders and Benefits section for more information on these riders.

Errors on Your Application

If the sex or Age of either Insured is stated incorrectly on your application and is discovered on or after the death of either Insured, the Death Benefit under your Policy will be the greater of the following:

 The Death Benefit based on a Net Amount At Risk adjusted by the ratio of the incorrect cost of insurance rate to the correct cost of insurance rate for the Insureds sex and Age, or

 The Minimum Death Benefit for the correct sex and Age

If either Insureds sex or Age is misstated in the application and it is discovered before the death of either Insured, we will not recalculate the Accumulated Value, but we will use the correct sex and Age of the Insured in calculating future monthly deductions.

Contesting the Validity of Your Policy

We have the right to contest the validity of your Policy for two years from the Policy Date. Once your Policy has been In Force for two years from the Policy Date during the lifetime of the Insureds, we generally lose the right to contest its validity.

We also have the right to contest the validity of a Policy that you reinstate for two years from the day that it was reinstated. Once your reinstated Policy has been In Force for two years from the reinstatement date during the lifetime of the Insureds, we generally lose the right to contest its validity. During this period, we may contest your Policy only if there is a material misrepresentation on your application for reinstatement.

We have the right to contest the validity of an increase in the Face Amount of a Policy for two years from the day the increase becomes effective. Once the increased Face Amount has been In Force for two years during the lifetime of the Insureds, we generally lose the right to contest its validity.

Regardless of the above, we can contest the validity of your Policy for failure to pay premiums at any time or if the Policy was procured by fraud. The Policy will terminate upon successful contest with respect to the Insureds.

Assigning Your Policy as Collateral

You may assign your Policy as collateral to secure a loan, mortgage, or other kind of debt. An assignment will take place only when we receive and record your signed Collateral Assignment Form. When recorded, the assignment will take effect as of the date the form was signed. Any rights created by the assignment will be subject to any payments made or actions taken by us before we record the change. We will not be responsible for the validity of any assignment. Please contact us for a Collateral Assignment Form if you would like to assign your Policy.

Non-participating

This Policy will not share in any of our surplus earnings.

Policy Changes

We reserve the right to make any change to the provisions of this Policy to comply with, or give you the benefit of, any federal or state statute, rule, or regulation, including but not limited to requirements for life insurance contracts under the Tax Code or of any state. We will provide you with a copy of any such change, and file such a change with the insurance supervisory official of the state in which this Policy is delivered, and any other applicable regulatory authority. You have the right to refuse any such change.

Lost Policy

If you lose your Policy, you may request a Certificate of Coverage free of charge. If you require a duplicate Policy, we may charge a fee of $50 per duplicate. To request a Certificate of Coverage or a duplicate Policy, please contact us for a Certificate of Insurance/ Duplicate Policy Request Form.

60


Audits of Premiums/Loans

You may request us to run a report of premium payments you have made or loan transactions under your Policy. If you request us to provide information for a period of more than 2 years from date of request, we may charge you an administrative fee of $25 for this service.

VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE AND YOUR TAXES

The tax consequences of owning a Policy or receiving proceeds from it may vary by jurisdiction and according to the circumstances of each Owner or Beneficiary.

The following is based on our understanding of the present federal income tax laws as they are currently interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). It is based on the Internal Revenue Code (the Tax Code) and does not cover any state or local tax laws. More detailed information appears in the SAI.

We do not know whether the current treatment of life insurance policies under current federal income tax or estate or gift tax laws will continue. We also do not know whether the current interpretations of the laws by the IRS or the courts will remain the same. Future legislation may adversely change the tax treatment of life insurance policies. This may affect the performance and underlying tax assumptions of this Policy, including any Riders. In some cases, these changes could result in a decrease in Policy values or lapse.

We do not make any guarantees about the tax status of your Policy, and you should not consider the discussion that follows to be tax advice. This is not a complete discussion of all federal income tax questions that may arise under a Policy. There are special rules that we do not include here that may apply in certain situations. Speak to a qualified tax advisor for complete information about federal, state and local taxes that may apply to you.

The Policy as Life Insurance

Death benefits from a life insurance policy may generally be excluded from income under Section 101(a) of the Tax Code unless an interest in the policy was transferred for valuable consideration, including in a reportable policy sale, as defined in Section 101(a)(3)(B).

We believe that the Policy meets the statutory definition of life insurance for federal income tax purposes. That means it will receive the same tax advantages as a conventional fixed life insurance policy. The two main tax advantages are:

 In general, your Policy’s Beneficiary will not be subject to federal income taxes when he or she receives the Death Benefit Proceeds unless the Policy was acquired through a sale by a previous Owner, or if the Death Benefit Proceeds are received in a series of installments.

 You will generally not be taxed on your Policy’s Accumulated Value unless you receive a cash distribution by making a withdrawal, surrendering your Policy, or in some instances, taking a loan from your Policy or collaterally assigning the Accumulated Value.

Policy Features and Charges

The tax laws defining life insurance, however, do not cover all policy features. Your Policy may have features that could prevent it from qualifying as life insurance. For example, the tax laws have yet to address:

 Substandard risk policies

 Policies with term insurance on the people insured by the policy

 Life insurance policies that continue coverage beyond Age 100 or other advanced ages

 Certain tax requirements relating to joint survivorship life insurance policies.

We intend to follow the safe harbor guidance provided by the IRS in Revenue Procedure 2010-28, 2010-10 I.R.B. 270 on the statutory definition of life insurance contracts that continue beyond age 100, however, the guidance did not address all issues that may impact a contract at these later ages. You should consult your tax advisor, as there may be tax consequences.

The Tax Code and tax regulations impose limitations on unreasonable mortality and expense charges for purposes of determining whether a policy qualifies as life insurance for federal tax purposes. We can change our mortality charges if we believe the changes are needed to ensure that your Policy qualifies as a life insurance contract.

We believe that last survivor policies meet the statutory definition of life insurance under Section 7702 of the Tax Code. However, the area of tax law relating to the definition of life insurance does not explicitly address all relevant issues relating to last survivor life insurance policies.

We reserve the right to make changes to the Policy if we deem the changes appropriate to continue to qualify your Policy as a life insurance contract. If a Policy were determined not to qualify as life insurance, the Policy would not provide the tax advantages normally provided by life insurance. This includes excluding the Death Benefit from the gross income of the Beneficiary.

Diversification Rules and Ownership of the Separate Account

Your Policy will not qualify for the tax benefit of a life insurance contract unless, among other requirements, the Separate Account follows certain rules requiring diversification of investments underlying the Policy. Section 817(h) of the Tax Code and related Treasury Regulations describe the diversification rules.

62


For a variable life insurance policy to qualify for tax deferral, assets in the separate accounts supporting the policy must be considered to be owned by the insurance company and not by the policy owner. If a policy owner is treated as having control over the underlying assets, the policy owner will be taxed currently on income and gains from the account and in such a case of “investor control” the policy owner would not derive the tax benefits normally associated with variable life insurance.

For more information about diversification rules, please refer to the Pacific Select Fund prospectus. For more information regarding investor control, please refer to the policy SAI.

Policy Exchanges

Policy exchanges fall under Section 1035(a) of the Tax Code.

If you exchange your policy for another one that insures the same people, it generally will be treated as a tax-free exchange and, if so, will not result in the recognition of gain or loss unless you no longer have a substantial family, business, or financial relationship with the insured. In that case, the exchange of the policy is considered a reportable policy sale that may result in current taxation of any gain in the policy at the time of the sale and also subject a portion of the death benefit to taxation. If any of the people insured by the policy are changed, the exchange will be treated as a taxable exchange.

Change of Ownership

You may have taxable income if you transfer ownership of your Policy, sell your Policy, or change the ownership of it in any way. This may include the transfer or sale of any entity or business that owns a Policy. The determination of taxation upon a change of Ownership cannot be determined by Pacific Life. Please consult your tax advisor for advice on your specific situation.

Corporate or Employer Owners

There are special tax issues for employer Owners:

 Section 101(j) of the Tax Code generally provides that Death Benefits paid in connection with certain life insurance policies involving an employer will be taxable income. Employer-involved policies issued or materially modified on or after August 18, 2006 may be subject to income tax liability on the Policy’s Death Benefit unless certain requirements and conditions of Section 101(j) are met.

 Using your Policy to informally fund a promised deferred compensation benefit for executives may have special tax consequences.

 Corporate ownership of a Policy may affect your liability under the alternative minimum tax (Section 56 of the Tax Code) and the environmental tax (Section 59A of the Tax Code).

 Where a business is the Owner of the Policy, Section 264(f) of the Tax Code may disallow a portion of the entity’s interest expense unless, at the time the Policy is issued, the Insured is an officer, director, employee, or 20% owner of the business. If the Policy is later exchanged for a new life insurance Policy, the Insured must meet this exception at the time the new Policy is issued.

Please consult your tax advisor for these and other special rules for employer-involved Policies.

Loans and corporate-owned policies

If you borrow money to buy or carry certain life insurance policies, tax law provisions may limit the deduction of interest. If the taxpayer is an entity that’s a direct or indirect beneficiary of certain life insurance, endowment or annuity contracts, a portion of the entity’s deductions for loan interest may be disallowed, even though this interest may relate to debt that’s completely unrelated to the contract.

Modified Endowment Contracts

Section 7702A of the Tax Code defines a class of life insurance policies known as “Modified Endowment Contracts”. If your Policy is a Modified Endowment Contract, any distributions you receive during the life of the Policy are treated less favorably than under non-MEC life insurance policies. Withdrawals, loans, pledges, assignments and the surrender of your Policy are all considered distributions and may be subject to tax on an income-first basis and a 10% penalty.

When a Policy becomes a Modified Endowment Contract

A life insurance policy becomes a Modified Endowment Contract if, at any time during the first seven policy years, the sum of actual premiums paid exceeds the seven-pay limit. The seven-pay limit is the cumulative total of the level annual premiums (or seven-pay premiums) required to pay for the policy’s future death and endowment benefits.

   
 

An Example

 
 

For a policy with seven-pay premiums of $1,000 a year, the maximum premiums you could pay during the first seven years to avoid modified endowment treatment would be:

 $1,000 in the first year

 $2,000 through the first two years

 $3,000 through the first three years, etc.

 

63


If there is a material change to your Policy, like a change in the Death Benefit, we may have to retest your Policy and restart the seven-pay premium period to determine whether the change has caused the Policy to become a Modified Endowment Contract.

Taxation of Distributions

Tax treatment of distributions from your Policy’s Accumulated Value may be treated differently, depending upon whether your Policy is a Modified Endowment Contract.

   

LIFE INSURANCE POLICY

(non-Modified Endowment Contract)

 

MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACT

Surrendering your Policy

Proceeds are taxed to the extent they exceed the investment in the contract1.

 

Proceeds are taxed to the extent they exceed the investment in the contract. 3

Making a withdrawal

If you make a withdrawal after your Policy has been In Force for 15 years, you will only be taxed on the amount you withdraw that exceeds the investment in the contract.

 

You will be taxed on the amount of the withdrawal that’s considered income (i.e. gain)2.

Special rules apply if you make a withdrawal within the first 15 Policy Years. If there is a reduction in benefits and an applicable distribution of policy value in the prior two years, a portion of the distribution may be taxable.

  

Taking out a loan

You will not pay tax on the loan amount unless your Policy is surrendered, lapses or matures and you have not repaid your Policy Debt.

 

You will be taxed on the amount of the loan that’s considered income, including all previously non-taxed gains.

1 The investment in the contract is generally the premiums you have paid plus any taxable distributions less any withdrawals or premiums previously recovered that were taxable.

2 Income (i.e. gain) is the difference between the Accumulated Value and the investment in the contract.

3 Distributions under Modified Endowment Contracts may be subject to an additional 10% penalty tax.

All Modified Endowment Contracts issued to you in a calendar year by us or our affiliates are treated as a single contract when we calculate whether a distribution amount is subject to tax. In addition, an assignment of policy cash value may be treated as a distribution under the contract.

10% penalty tax on Modified Endowment Contracts

If any amount you receive from a Modified Endowment Contract is taxable, you may also have to pay a penalty tax equal to 10% of the taxable amount. A taxpayer will not have to pay the penalty tax if any of the following exceptions apply:

 You are at least 59½ years old;

 You are receiving an amount because you have become disabled;

 You are receiving an amount that’s part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments, paid out at least annually. These payments may be made for your life or life expectancy or for the joint lives or joint life expectancies of you and your Beneficiaries.

Distributions before a Policy becomes a Modified Endowment Contract

If your Policy fails the seven-pay test and becomes a Modified Endowment Contract, any amount you receive or are deemed to have received during the two years before it became a Modified Endowment Contract may be taxable. The distribution would be treated as having been made in anticipation of the Policy’s failing to meet the seven-pay test.

Federal Estate Taxes

According to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, the federal estate tax exemption amount has been temporarily increased to $10,000,000 per person (indexed for inflation effective for tax years after 2011); the maximum estate tax rate is 40%. For 2021, the indexed exemption amount is $11,700,000. In 2026, the federal estate tax exemption amount is scheduled to revert to $5,000,000 per person (indexed for inflation for years after 2011).

Optional Policy Benefits and Riders

Riders providing Accelerated Death Benefits

If you exercise a Rider that accelerates the Death Benefit under the Policy in connection with certain chronic or terminal illnesses, the amounts received under the Rider may qualify for favorable tax treatment under Section 101(g) of the Code.

64


However, benefits under the Rider will be taxed, if they are paid to someone other than a person insured by the Policy, and either Insured:

 Is a director, officer or employee of the person receiving the benefit, or

 Has a financial interest in a business of the person receiving the benefit.

Payment of an accelerated death benefit will reduce the death benefit and other values under the Policy. In most circumstances, the cost of insurance charges will also be reduced. Further, the premium limitations and death benefits required for the Policy to qualify as a life insurance policy or avoid being classified as a Modified Endowment Contract under the Code will also be affected.

Benefits paid by accelerating the policy’s death benefit may qualify for favorable tax treatment under Section 101(g) of the Code. Tax treatment of an accelerated death benefit due to terminal illness depends on your life expectancy at the time benefits are accelerated.

Income payments from Net Cash Value or Death Benefit Proceeds

Your policy contains provisions that allow for all or a portion of the Net Cash Surrender Value or Death Benefit to be paid in a series of installments. In addition, certain policies may have Optional Riders that provide for installment benefits. These installments may be for a certain period of time, or may be payable based upon the life of one or more individuals.

Under the rules of Section 72 of the Tax Code, each payment made will be comprised of two portions: A portion representing a return of the investment in the contract, and the remainder representing interest. The Exclusion Ratio as defined in Section 72(b) is used to determine what amount of each payment is excluded from tax reporting.

The calculation of the Exclusion ratio is based upon these two policy values as of the date the amount of the installment payment is being determined:

 The portion of the Net Cash Surrender Value or Death Benefit Proceeds being applied to the installment benefit

 The investment in the contract

The portion of each payment that is treated as a return of the investment in the contract is equal to the Exclusion Ratio multiplied by the Payment Amount. For installments payments that are based upon the life of one or more individuals, once the investment in the contract has been depleted any subsequent payment(s) would be treated as a return of interest and thus fully taxable.

ABOUT PACIFIC LIFE

Pacific Life Insurance Company is a life insurance company domiciled in Nebraska. Along with our subsidiaries and affiliates, our operations include life insurance, annuity, institutional products, mutual funds, broker-dealer operations, and investment and advisory services.

We were originally organized on January 2, 1868, under the name “Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company of California” and reincorporated as “Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company” on July 22, 1936. On September 1, 1997, we converted from a mutual life insurance company to a stock life insurance company ultimately controlled by a mutual holding company and were authorized by California regulatory authorities to change our name to Pacific Life Insurance Company. On September 1, 2005, Pacific Life changed from a California corporation to a Nebraska corporation. Pacific Life is a subsidiary of Pacific LifeCorp, a holding company, which, in turn, is a subsidiary of Pacific Mutual Holding Company, a mutual holding company. Under their respective charters, Pacific Mutual Holding Company must always hold at least 51% of the outstanding voting stock of Pacific LifeCorp, and Pacific LifeCorp must always own 100% of the voting stock of Pacific Life. Owners of Pacific Life’s annuity contracts and life insurance policies have certain membership interests in Pacific Mutual Holding Company, consisting principally of the right to vote on the election of the Board of Directors of the mutual holding company and on other matters, and certain rights upon liquidation or dissolutions of the mutual holding company.

Our executive office is at 700 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, California 92660.

How Our Accounts Work

We own the assets in our General Account and our Separate Account. We allocate your Net Premiums to these accounts according to the Investment Options you have chosen.

General Account

Our General Account includes all of our assets, except for those held in our separate accounts. We guarantee you an interest rate for up to one year on any amount allocated to the Fixed Options. The rate is reset annually. The Fixed Options are part of our General Account, which we may invest as we wish, according to any laws that apply. We will credit at least the guaranteed rate even if the investments we make earn less. Unlike the Separate Account, the General Account is subject to liabilities arising from any of our other business. Our obligations under the Policy which include the death benefit and other benefits provided under any rider, are paid from the General Account. Our ability to pay these guarantees is backed by our financial strength and claims paying ability as a company. You must look to the company’s strength with regard to policy guarantees. We can provide you with reports of our ratings as an insurance company and our ability to pay claims with respect to our General Account assets.

The Fixed Options are not securities, so they do not fall under any securities act. However, other federal securities laws will apply to the accuracy and completeness of the disclosure about the Fixed Options.

Separate Account

Amounts allocated to the Variable Investment Options are held in our Separate Account. The assets in this account are kept separate from the assets in our General Account and our other separate accounts, and are protected from our general creditors. The assets of the Separate Account may not be used to pay any liabilities of the Company other than those arising from the Policies and any other policies supported by the Separate Account..

The Separate Account is divided into Variable Accounts. Each Variable Account invests in shares of a corresponding Fund. Information regarding the Funds available through the Separate Account, including the Fund name, investment objective, the investment adviser and any sub-adviser, current expenses, and performance is available in an appendix to this Prospectus. See the APPENDIX: FUNDS AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY section in this prospectus. Each Fund has issued a prospectus that contains more detailed information about each Fund, and may be found at www.PacificLife.com.

We are the legal owner of the assets in the Separate Account, and pay its operating expenses. We do not hold ourselves out to be trustees of the Separate Account assets. The Separate Account is operated only for our variable life insurance policies. Pacific Life is obligated to pay all amounts promised to Policy Owners under the terms of the Policy. We must keep assets in the Separate Account equal to the reserves and policy liabilities (i.e. amounts at least equal to the aggregate variable account value) sufficient to pay obligations under the insurance policies funded by the Separate Account and may only transfer to the General Account assets of the Separate Account which exceed such reserves and Policy liabilities. Some of the money in the Separate Account may include charges we collect from the account and any investment results on those charges.

Income, gains, and losses credited to, or charged against, the Separate Account reflect the Separate Account’s own investment experience and not the investment experience of our other assets.

Similarly, the income, gains or losses, realized or unrealized, of the assets of any Variable Account belong to that Variable Account and are credited to or charged against the assets held in that Variable Account without regard to our other income, gains or losses.

Making changes to the Separate Account

We can add, change or remove any Fund that the Separate Account or any Variable Account holds or buys.

66


We can substitute shares of one Fund with shares of another Fund if:

 Any Fund is no longer available for investment; or

 Our management believes that a Fund is no longer appropriate in view of the purposes of the Policy.

We will give you any required notice or receive any required approval from Policy Owners or the SEC before we substitute any shares. We will comply with the filing or other procedures established by insurance regulators as required by law.

We can add new Variable Accounts, which may include additional subaccounts of the Separate Account, to serve as Investment Options under the Policies. These may be managed separate accounts or they may invest in a new Fund, or in shares of another investment company or one of its portfolios, or in a suitable investment vehicle with a specified investment objective.

We can add new Variable Accounts when we believe that it is warranted by marketing needs or investment conditions. We will decide on what basis we will make new Variable Accounts available to existing Policy Owners.

We can also cease offering any of our Variable Accounts if we believe marketing, tax, or investment conditions warrant it. If we cease offering any Variable Account, we will provide any required notice or receive any required approval from Policy Owners or the SEC, as applicable.

If we make any changes to Variable Accounts or substitution of Funds, we can make appropriate changes to this Policy or any of our other policies, by appropriate endorsement, to reflect the change or substitution.

If we believe it is in the best interests of people holding voting rights under the Policies and we meet any required regulatory approvals we can do the following:

 Operate the Separate Account as a management investment company, unit investment trust, or any other form permitted under securities or other laws (the Separate Account’s current form is a unit investment trust);

 Register or deregister the Separate Account under the Investment Company Act (the Separate Account is currently registered);

 Combine the Separate Account with one of our other separate accounts or our affiliates’ separate accounts;

 Combine one or more Variable Accounts;

 Create a committee, board or other group to manage the Separate Account;

 Change the classification of any Variable Account.

Taxes we pay

We may be charged for state and local taxes. Currently, we pay these taxes because they are small amounts with respect to the Policy. If these taxes increase significantly, we may deduct them from the Separate Account.

We may charge the Separate Account for any federal, state and local taxes that apply to the Separate Account or to our operations. This could happen if our tax status or the tax treatment of variable life insurance changes.

Voting Rights

We are the legal owner of the shares of the Funds that are held by the Variable Accounts. We may vote on any matter at shareholder meetings of the Funds. However, we are required by law to vote as you instruct on the shares relating to your allocation in a Variable Investment Option. This is called your voting interest.

Your voting interest is calculated as of a day set by the Board of Trustees or Board of Directors of a Fund, called the record date. Your voting interest equals the Accumulated Value in a Variable Investment Option divided by the net asset value of a share of the corresponding Fund. Fractional shares are included. If allowed by law, we may change how we calculate your voting interest.

We will send you documents from the Fund called proxy materials. They include information about the items you will be voting on and forms for you to give us your instructions. We will vote shares held in the Separate Account for which we do not receive voting instructions in the same proportion as all other shares in the Fund held by the Separate Account for which we have received timely instructions. If we do not receive any voting instructions for the shares in a separate account, we will vote the shares in the same proportion as the total votes for all of our separate accounts for which we have received timely instructions. As a result of proportional voting, the votes cast by a small number of policy owners may determine the outcome of a vote.

We will vote shares of any Fund we hold in our General Account in the same proportion as the total votes for all of our separate accounts, including this Separate Account. We will vote shares of any Fund held by any of our non-insurance affiliates in the same proportion as the total votes for all of our separate accounts and those of our insurance affiliates.

If the law changes to allow it, we can vote as we wish on shares of the Fund(s) held in the Separate Account.

When required by state insurance regulatory authorities, we may disregard voting instructions that:

 Would change a Fund’s investment objective or subclassification;

67


 Would approve or disapprove an investment advisory contract.

We may disregard voting instructions on a change initiated by Policy Owners that would change a Fund’s investment policy, investment adviser or Fund manager if:

 Our disapproval is reasonable;

 We determine in good faith that the change would be against state law or otherwise be inappropriate, considering the Fund’s objectives and purpose, and considering what effect the change would have on us.

If we disregard any voting instructions, we will include a summary of the action we took and our reasons for it in the next report to Policy Owners.

Distribution Arrangements

Pacific Select Distributors, LLC (“PSD”), a broker-dealer and our subsidiary, pays various forms of sales compensation to broker-dealers (including other affiliates) that solicit applications for the Policies. PSD also may reimburse other expenses associated with the promotion and solicitation of applications for the Policies.

We offer the Policies for sale through broker-dealers that have entered into selling agreements with PSD. Broker-dealers sell the Policies through their financial professionals who have been appointed by us to sell our products. PSD pays compensation to broker-dealers for the promotion and sale of the Policies. The individual financial professional who sells you a Policy typically will receive a portion of the compensation, under the representative’s own arrangement with his or her broker-dealer.

Commissions are based on “target” premiums we determine. The commissions we pay vary with the agreement, but the most common schedule of commissions we pay is:

 100% of premiums paid up to the first target premium

 33.5% of the premiums paid up to the second target premium

 2.5% of the premiums paid under targets 3-10

 2% of premiums paid thereafter.

Your financial professional typically receives a portion of the compensation that is payable to his or her broker-dealer in connection with the Policy, depending on the agreement between your financial professional and his or her firm. Pacific Life is not involved in determining that compensation arrangement, which may present its own incentives or conflicts. You may ask your financial professional how he/she will personally be compensated for the transaction.

PSD or an affiliate may pay broker-dealers an annual renewal commission of up to 0.20% of a Policy’s Accumulated Value less any Policy Debt. We calculate the renewal amount monthly and it becomes payable on each Policy Anniversary.

In addition to the commissions described above, we and/or an affiliate may pay additional cash compensation from their own resources in connection with the promotion and solicitation of applications for the Policies by some, but not all, broker-dealers. The additional cash compensation based on premium payments generally does not exceed 14.50% of first target premium and 1% of premiums paid thereafter. Such additional compensation may give Pacific Life greater access to financial professionals of the broker-dealers that receive such compensation. While this greater access provides the opportunity for training and other educational programs so that your financial professional may serve you better, this additional compensation also may afford Pacific Life a “preferred” status at the recipient broker-dealer and provide some other marketing benefit such as website placement, access to financial professional lists, extra marketing assistance, or other heightened visibility and access to the broker-dealer’s sales force that otherwise influences the way that the broker-dealer and the financial professional market the Policies.

We may also provide compensation to broker-dealers for providing ongoing service in relation to Policies that have already been purchased.

Additional Compensation and Revenue Sharing

To the extent permitted by SEC and FINRA rules and other applicable laws and regulations, selling broker dealers may receive additional payments in the form of cash, other special compensation or reimbursement of expenses, sometimes called “revenue sharing”. These additional compensation or reimbursement arrangements may include, for example, payments in connection with the firm’s “due diligence” examination of the Policies, payments for providing conferences or seminars, sales or training programs for invited life insurance producers and other employees, payments for travel expenses, including lodging, incurred by life insurance producers and other employees for such seminars or training programs, seminars for the public, advertising and sales campaigns regarding the Policies, and payments to assist a firm in connection with its administrative systems, operations and marketing expenses and/or other events or activities sponsored by the firms. Subject to applicable FINRA rules and other applicable laws and regulations, PSD and its affiliates may contribute to, as well as sponsor, various educational programs, sales contests and/or promotions in which participating firms and their sales persons may receive prizes such as merchandise, cash, or other awards. Such additional compensation may give us greater access to life insurance producers of the broker-dealers that receive such compensation or may otherwise influence the way that a broker-dealer and life insurance producer market the Policies.

68


These arrangements may not be applicable to all firms, and the terms of such arrangements may differ between firms. We provide additional information on special compensation or reimbursement arrangements involving selling firms and other financial institutions in the Statement of Additional Information, which is available upon request. Any such compensation, which may be significant at times, will not result in any additional direct charge to you by us.

The compensation and other benefits provided by PSD or its affiliates, may be more or less than the overall compensation on similar or other products. This may influence your life insurance producer or broker-dealer to present this Policy over other investment vehicles available in the marketplace. You may ask your life insurance producer about these differing and divergent interests, how he/she is personally compensated and how his/her broker-dealer is compensated for soliciting applications for the Policy.

We may agree to waive or reduce some or all of such charges and/or credit additional amounts under our Policies, for those Policies sold to persons who meet criteria established by us, who may include current and retired officers, directors and employees of us and our affiliates, trustees of the Pacific Select Fund, financial professionals and employees of broker/dealers with a current selling agreement with us and their affiliates, and immediate family members of such persons (“Eligible Persons”). We will credit additional amounts to Policies owned by Eligible Persons. If such Policies are purchased directly through Pacific Select Distributors, LLC (PSD), Eligible Persons will not be afforded the benefit of services of any other broker/dealer and will bear the responsibility of determining whether a variable life insurance Policy, optional benefits and underlying Investment Options are appropriate, taking into consideration age, income, net worth, tax status, insurance needs, financial objectives, investment goals, liquidity needs, time horizon, risk tolerance and other relevant information. In addition, Eligible Persons who purchased their Policy through PSD, must contact us directly with servicing questions, Policy changes and other matters relating to their Policies.

The amount credited to Policies owned by Eligible Persons will equal the reduction in expenses we enjoy by not incurring brokerage commissions in selling such Policies, with the determination of the expense reduction and of such crediting being made in accordance with our administrative procedures. These credits will be added to an eligible persons Policy after the Free Look Transfer Date has occurred, or, if premiums are paid using the monthly Electronic Funds Transfer plan, on the first Policy Anniversary.

Fund managers of the underlying Funds available under this Policy may help pay for conferences or meetings sponsored by us or PSD relating to management of the Funds and our variable life insurance products.

Please refer to the SAI for additional information on distribution arrangements and the conflicts of interest that they may present.

Service Arrangements

We have entered into administrative and/or service agreements with certain Funds or Fund affiliates which pay us for administrative and other services, including, but not limited to, certain communications and support services. The fees are based on an annual percentage of average daily net assets of certain Fund portfolios purchased by us at Policy Owner’s instructions. Currently, the fees received do not exceed an annual percentage of 0.40% and each Fund may not pay the same annual percentage. Because we receive such fees, we may be subject to competing interests in making these Funds available as Investment Options under the Policies.

American Century Services, LLC pays us for each American Century Variable Portfolios, Inc. portfolio (Class II) held by our separate accounts. American Funds Insurance Series pays us for each American Funds Insurance Series Portfolio (Class 4) held by our separate accounts.

State Regulation

On September 1, 2005, Pacific Life redomesticated to Nebraska. We are subject to the laws of the state of Nebraska governing insurance companies and to regulations issued by the Commissioner of Insurance of Nebraska. In addition, we are subject to the insurance laws and regulations of the other states and jurisdictions in which we are licensed or may become licensed to operate.

69


An annual statement in a prescribed form must be filed with the Commissioner of Insurance of Nebraska and with regulatory authorities of other states on or before March 1st in each year. This statement covers our operations for the preceding year and our financial condition as of December 31st of that year. Our affairs are subject to review and examination at any time by the Commissioner of Insurance or his agents, and subject to full examination of our operations at periodic intervals.

Legal Proceedings and Legal Matters

In the ordinary course of business, we, like other insurance companies, are subject to various legal proceedings (including class actions). It is not possible to predict with certainty the ultimate outcome of any pending legal proceeding, however, at the present time, we believe that we, the Separate Account, and PSD are not involved in any legal proceeding that would have a material adverse effect on the Separate Account, the ability of PSD to perform its duties as distributor, or on our ability to meet our obligations under the Policy.

Financial Statements

Pacific Life’s financial statements and the financial statements of Pacific Select Exec Separate Account are contained in the Statement of Additional Information.

We have tried to make this prospectus easy to read and understand, but you may find some words and terms that are new to you. We have identified some of these below.

If you have any questions, please ask your financial professional or call us at (800) 347-7787. In order to sell this product, a financial professional must be a properly licensed and appointed life insurance producer.

1 – Year Indexed Account – an account that is part of our General Account. We credit interest on the indexed account, in part, based on any positive change in an Index.

Accounts – consist of the Fixed Options, the Variable Accounts, the Indexed Fixed Options and the Loan Account, each of which may be referred to as an Account.

Account Deduction – is treated as a proportionate reduction to Fixed and Variable Investment Options. Any deduction in excess of the Fixed and Variable Investment Options will be deducted from the Indexed Fixed Options as a segment deduction.

Accumulated Value – the total amount of your Policy’s Variable Accumulated Value, Fixed Accumulated Value, Indexed Accumulated Value and the Loan Account Value, on any Business Day.

Age – an Insured's age on his/her birthday nearest the Policy Date. We add one year to this Age on each Policy Anniversary.

Basic Face Amount – is the sum of the Face Amounts of all Life Coverage Layers on the Insureds. The Face Amount of the initial Life Coverage is shown in the Policy Specifications.

Basic Life Coverage – is insurance Coverage on the Insureds provided by this Policy as shown in the Policy Specifications and any related Supplemental Schedule of Coverage. See Coverage Layer.

Beneficiary – the person, people, entity or entities you name to receive the Death Benefit Proceeds.

Business Day – any day that the New York Stock Exchange and our Consumer Markets Division are open. It usually ends at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. A Business Day is also called a valuation day in your Policy.

Cash Surrender Value – the Policy’s Accumulated Value less any surrender charge.

Cash Value Accumulation Test – one of two Death Benefit Qualification Tests available under the Policy, and defined in Section 7702(b) of the Tax Code.

Class – is used in determining Policy charges, and interest credited to the Fixed Options, features of the Indexed Fixed Options, and depends on a number of factors, including but not limited to the Death Benefit, Basic and Total Face Amount, Coverage Layer, Policy Date, Policy duration, premiums paid, the Age and Risk Class of the Insured(s), requested or scheduled additions or increases of Coverage Layers, and the presence of optional Riders and benefits.

Closing Value – the value of the Index as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange, which is usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. If no closing value is published for a given day, we will use the closing value for the next day for which closing value is published.

Code or Tax Code – is the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Coverage – insurance coverage on the Insureds as provided by the Policy or other attached Riders.

Coverage Layer – is insurance coverage on the Insureds provided by this Policy or insurance Coverage on both of the Insureds under an optional Rider. Generally, increases in the Basic Face Amount under the Policy or additional life insurance coverage added by a Rider are referred to as a “Coverage Layer”.

Coverage Layer Date – is the effective date of a particular Coverage Layer and is the date used to determine Coverage Layer months, years and anniversaries. The Coverage Layer Date for the initial Coverage Layer is the Policy Date as shown in the Policy Specifications.

Cumulative Segment Guaranteed Interest Rate – the Segment Guaranteed Interest Rate compounded annually for the number of years in the Segment Term.

4


Death Benefit Proceeds – the amount which is payable to the Beneficiary on the date of the Survivor's death, adjusted as provided in the Policy.

This test determines what the lowest Minimum Death Benefit should be in relation to a Policy’s Accumulated Value. Each test available under the Policy is defined in Section 7702 of the Tax Code.

Designated Amount – the amount you instruct us to allocate to an Indexed Fixed Option. We will only transfer the Designated Amount (or such lesser amount if Policy charges have been deducted, or if you have taken a withdrawal or loan) to an Indexed Fixed Option on a Segment Start Date. Any interest earned on the Designated Amount while it is allocated to the Fixed Account will not be transferred to an Indexed Fixed Option on a Segment Start Date.

Face Amount – the amount of insurance Coverage on the Insureds provided by the Policy Coverage or Rider Coverage, as shown in the Policy Specifications and any related Supplemental Schedule of Coverage. The Face Amount is subject to increase or decrease as provided elsewhere in the Policy.

Fixed Account the Fixed Account– an account that is part of our General Account.

This account may earn a lower declared interest rate and has more flexible allocation rules than the Fixed LT Account.

Fixed Accumulated Value – the total amount of your Policy’s value allocated to the Fixed Accounts.

Fixed LT Account – an account that is part of our General Account. Net Premiums and Accumulated Value under the Policy may be allocated to this account for accumulation at a fixed rate of interest declared by us.

Fixed Options – Investment Options that are part of our General Account and that consist of one or more Fixed Accounts available under this Policy. The Fixed Accounts available as of the Policy Date are the Fixed Account and the Fixed LT Account. Net Premiums and Accumulated Value under the Policy may be allocated to one or more Fixed Accounts.

General Account – includes all of our assets, except for those held in the Separate Account, or any of our other separate accounts.

Grace Period – a 61-day period, beginning on the date we send you, and anyone to whom you have assigned your Policy, notice that your Policy’s Accumulated Value less Policy Debt is insufficient to pay the Monthly Deduction. The Grace Period gives you 61 days in which to pay sufficient premium to keep your Policy In Force and prevent your Policy from lapsing.

Growth Cap – the maximum total interest rate for a Segment over the Segment Term, as described in the Indexed Fixed Options, including both Cumulative Segment Guaranteed Interest Rate and the Segment Indexed Interest Rate.

Guideline Premium Limit – the maximum amount of premium or premiums that can be paid for any given Face Amount in order to qualify the Policy as life insurance for tax purposes as specified in the Guideline Premium Test.

Index – The Standard & Poor’s 500® Composite Stock Price Index, excluding dividends (“S&P 500®”).

Index Growth Rate – a rate that represents the change in value (up or down) of an Index from the Segment Start Date to Segment Maturity. We use this rate to help determine what amount may be credited as interest to an Indexed Account.

Numerically, the Index Growth Rate is (b ÷ a) – 1, where:

a = The Closing Value of the Index as of the day before the beginning of the Segment Term; and

b = The Closing Value of the Index as of the day before the end of the Segment Term.

Indexed Account – an account that is part of our General Account. We credit interest, in part, on any positive change in an index. Currently, there are two Indexed Accounts – the 1-Year Indexed Account and the 1-Year High Par Indexed Account (referred to as the “1 Year Indexed Account 3” in your Policy).

5


Indexed Accumulated Value – the total amount of your Policy’s Accumulated Value allocated to the Indexed Fixed Options. The Indexed Accumulated Value will not include Segment Indexed Interest for any Segments that have not reached Segment Maturity.

Indexed Fixed Option Value – the sum of the Segment Values for all Segments in the Indexed Fixed Options.

Indexed Fixed Options – Investment Options that are part of our General Account and that consist of one or more indexed accounts available under this Policy. The indexed accounts available as of the Policy Date are the 1-Year Indexed Account and the 1-Year High Par Indexed Account.

In Force – the Policy is in effect and provides a death benefit on the Survivor.

In Proper Form – is when we will process your requests once we receive all letters, forms or other necessary documents, completed to our satisfaction. In Proper Form may require, among other things, a notarized signature or some other proof of authenticity that is required for us to act on a Written Request. We do not generally require such proof, but we may ask for proof if it appears that your signature has changed, if the signature does not appear to be yours, if we have not received a properly completed application or confirmation of an application, or for other reasons to protect you and us. Call us or contact your financial professional if you have questions about the In Proper Form requirement for a request.

Insured – a person on whose life the Policy is issued. Collectively referred to as the Insureds.

Investment Option – a Variable Investment Option, Fixed Option or Indexed Fixed Option.

Loan Account Value – the total amount of your Policy’s Accumulated Value allocated to the Loan Account.

Lockout Period – a 12-month period of time during which you may not make any transfers into the Indexed Fixed Options. A Lockout Period begins any time a deduction is taken from the Indexed Fixed Options as a result of a loan or withdrawal that is not part of a Systematic Distribution Program.

Minimum Death Benefit – is based on the Death Benefit Qualification Test for the Policy and at any time will be no less than the minimum amount we determine to be required for this Policy to qualify as life insurance under the Code.

Modified Endowment Contract – a type of life insurance policy as described in Section 7702A of the Tax Code, which receives less favorable tax treatment on distributions of cash value than conventional life insurance policies. Classification of a Policy as a Modified Endowment Contract is generally dependent on the amount of premium paid during the first seven Policy Years, or after a material change has been made to the Policy.

Monthly Deduction – an amount that is deducted monthly from your Policy’s Accumulated Value on the Monthly Payment Date until the Monthly Deduction End Date. The Monthly Deduction is the sum of the cost of insurance charge, the administrative charge, the Coverage charge, the monthly Indexed Account charge and any charge for optional Riders and benefits.

Monthly Deduction End Date – is the date when Monthly Deductions end as shown in the Policy Specifications. This date is the Policy Anniversary when the younger Insured attains age 121.

Monthly Payment Date – the day we deduct monthly charges from your Policy’s Accumulated Value. The first Monthly Payment Date is your Policy Date, and it is the same day each month thereafter.

Net Accumulated Value – the Accumulated Value less any Policy Debt.

Net Amount At Risk – the difference between the Death Benefit payable if the Insureds died and the Accumulated Value of your Policy. We use a Net Amount At Risk to calculate the Cost of Insurance Charge. For Cost of Insurance Charge purposes, the Net Amount At Risk is equal to the Death Benefit as of the most recent Monthly Payment Date divided by 1.0016516, reduced by the Accumulated Value of your Policy.

Net Cash Surrender Value – the Cash Surrender Value less any Policy Debt.

Net Premium – premium paid less any premium load deducted.

Net Single Premium – the amount of premium needed to fund future benefits under the Policy as specified in the Cash Value Accumulation Test.

Owner – the person named on the application who makes the decisions about the Policy and its benefits while it is In Force. Two or more Owners are called Joint Owners. See the POLICY BASICS – Owners, the Insured, and Beneficiaries section in this prospectus for more information.

Participation Rate – the percentage of the Index Growth Rate used to calculate the Segment Indexed Interest Rate.

Policy Anniversary – the same day as your Policy Date every year after we issue your Policy.

Policy Date – the date upon which life insurance coverage under the Policy becomes effective. The Policy date is used to determine the Monthly Payment Date, Policy months, Policy Years, and Policy monthly, quarterly, semi-annual and annual anniversaries.

6


Policy Debt – the amount in the Loan Account, plus any interest you owe.

Policy Specifications – summarizes information specific to your Policy at the time the Policy is issued. We will send you updated Policy Specification pages or supplemental schedules if you change your Policy’s Face Amount or any of the Policy’s other benefits.

Policy Year – starts on your Policy Date and each Policy Anniversary, and ends on the day before the next Policy Anniversary.

Riders – provide extra benefits, some at additional cost. Any optional Rider which offers additional life insurance Coverage on both Insureds will have an initial Face Amount and any increase may also referred to as a “Coverage Layer”.

Risk Class – is determined during the underwriting process and is used to determine certain Policy charges. The Risk Class of each Insured is shown in the Policy Specifications. The Risk Class of each Insured for any additional coverage added after issue will be shown in the Supplemental Schedule of Coverage.

Segment – a portion of your Accumulated Value in an Indexed Fixed Option. We create a Segment when Accumulated Value is transferred from the Fixed Account to an Indexed Fixed Option.

Segment Guaranteed Interest – the interest we credit daily to each Segment in the 1-Year Indexed Account and 1-Year High Par Indexed Account from the Segment Start Date to the Segment Maturity at an annual rate equal to 1% for the Indexed Fixed Options.

Segment Indexed Interest – additional interest may be credited to the Segment at the end of the Segment Term based on the performance of the Index.

Segment Indexed Interest Rate – The Segment Indexed Interest Rate reflects any growth in the Index, multiplied by the Participation Rate, subject to the Growth Cap, that exceeds the Cumulative Segment Guaranteed Interest Rate. It is equal to [the lesser of (a × b) and c] - d, but not less than zero where:

a = Index Growth Rate

b = Participation Rate

c = Growth Cap

d = Cumulative Segment Guaranteed Interest Rate

Segment Maturity – the end of the Segment Term and the date we calculate any Segment Indexed Interest and credit it to the Segment.

Segment Maturity Value – the value of the Segment at Segment Maturity, including any Segment Indexed Interest.

Segment Start Dates – the dates on which transfers into the Indexed Fixed Options may occur, generally the 15th of each month as shown in your Policy Specifications. We use a Segment Start Date to determine Segment months and Segment years.

Segment Term – a one-year period beginning on the Segment Start Date and ending on the Segment Maturity date.

Segment Value – the amount transferred to an Indexed Fixed Option from the Fixed Account on the Segment Start Date. After the Segment Start Date, the Segment Value equals a + b - c + d where:

a = The Segment Value as of the previous day;

b = The Segment Guaranteed Interest since the previous day;

c = Any Segment Deductions since the previous day; and

d = Any Segment Indexed Interest credited only at Segment Maturity.

Separate Account – the Pacific Select Exec Separate Account, a separate account of ours registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Supplemental Schedule of Coverage – is the written notice that will be sent to the last known Address on Record, or by other means where permitted, reflecting certain changes made to your Policy after the Policy Date.

Survivor – the living Insured after one of the Insureds dies.

Systematic Distribution Program – a program of periodic distribution that we designate, which includes periodic distribution of the Policy’s Accumulated Value through Policy loans and withdrawals.

Total Face Amount – the sum of Face Amount of Basic Life Coverage and the Face Amounts of any Riders providing insurance coverage on the Insureds, unless specifically excluded.

Total Interest Credited – the sum of Segment Indexed Interest plus Segment Guaranteed Interest that we credit to a Segment within the Indexed Fixed Options.

7


Variable Accumulated Value – the total amount of your Policy’s Accumulated Value allocated to the Variable Accounts.

Variable Investment Option (“Variable Option”) – a Variable Account available under this Policy that is part of the Separate Account.

Risk of Loss

You can lose money by investing in the Policy, including loss of principal and previous earnings.

Principal Risks of Investing in the Policy

Not a Short-Term Investment

This Policy is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. The Policy is designed to provide a death benefit. This Policy may not be the right kind of policy if you plan to withdraw money or surrender your Policy for short-term needs. Withdrawals are not allowed in the first Policy Year.

Surrender charges apply for up to 10 years after Policy issue and each Coverage Layer added to the Policy. A surrender or withdrawal may be subject to negative tax consequences. If there is a reduction in the Face Amount of a Coverage Layer, including decreases due to withdrawals, the surrender charge for the effected Coverage Layer will not change.

Surrendering Your Policy

Risks Associated with Investment Options

An investment in this Policy is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the Investment Options available under the Policy (e.g. Funds).

Each Investment Option (including any Fixed Option or Indexed Fixed Option) will have its own unique risks.

You should review, working with your financial professional, the Investment Options before making an investment decision.

Policy Lapse

Your Policy remains In Force as long as you have sufficient Net Accumulated Value to cover your Policy’s monthly deductions of Policy charges. Insufficient premium payments, poor investment performance, withdrawals, and unpaid loans or loan interest may cause your Policy to lapse – which means no death benefit will be paid. There are costs associated with reinstating a lapsed Policy and there is no guarantee that a reinstatement will be approved..

RESTRICTIONS

LOCATION IN PROSPECTUS

  

Investments

Not all Investment Options may be available to you.

Transfers between Investment Options are generally limited to 25 each calendar year. Transfers to or from a Variable Investment Option cannot be made before the seventh calendar day following the last transfer to or from the same Variable Investment Option. Additional Fund transfer restrictions apply. There is a $25 fee per transfer in excess of 12 transfers per Policy Year. We do not currently impose this charge.

Under the Fixed Options, there are frequency, amount and/or percentage limits on the amount that may be transferred into or out of the Fixed Options. These limits are significantly more restrictive than those that apply to transfers into or out of the Variable Investment Options. It may take several Policy Years to transfer your Accumulated Value out of either of the Fixed Options to the Variable Investment Options. Additional Fixed Option transfer restrictions apply.

Under the Indexed Fixed Options, once a Segment is created, you cannot transfer out of a Segment until the end of the Segment Term. Money may be transferred from a Segment for withdrawals and Standard Policy Loans, however, if the withdrawal or loan was not part of a systematic distribution program, you will not be able to transfer into an Indexed Fixed Option for a 12-month period. Additional Indexed Fixed Option transfer restrictions apply.

Certain Funds may stop accepting additional investments into their Fund or may liquidate a Fund. In addition, if a Fund determines that excessive trading has occurred, they may limit your ability to continue to invest in their Fund for a certain period of time.

We reserve the right to remove, close to new investment, or substitute Funds as Investment Options.

Optional Benefits

We offer several optional benefits in the form of a rider to the Policy. These riders can only be selected at Policy issue, may have an additional charge and could be subject to conditions to exercise or underwriting. Your selection of certain optional Riders may result in restrictions on some Policy benefits. Not all riders are available in every state. We may stop offering an optional benefit at any time for new Policy purchases. If you purchased the Flexible Duration No-Lapse Guarantee Rider, at initial purchase and during the entire time that you own this Rider, you must allocate 100% of the Accumulated Value among the allowable Investment Options as indicated under APPENDIX: FUNDS AVAILABLE UNDER THIS POLICY – Allowable Investment Options.

Tax Implications

Consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of an investment in and payments received under the Policy. Withdrawals may be subject to ordinary income tax and may be subject to tax penalties. Tax consequences for loans and withdrawals generally differ. There is no additional tax benefit to you if the Policy is purchased through a tax-qualified plan.

Investment Professional Compensation

Some financial professionals may receive compensation for selling this Policy to you in the form of commissions, additional cash compensation, and non-cash compensation. We may also provide additional payments in the form of cash, other special compensation or reimbursement of expenses to the financial professional’s selling broker dealer. These financial professionals may have a financial incentive to offer or recommend this Policy over another investment.

Distribution Arrangements

Exchanges

Some financial professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a new policy in place of the one you already own.

You should only exchange your policy if you determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both policies, that it is preferable for you to purchase the new policy rather than continue to own the existing policy.

OVERVIEW OF THE POLICY

Purpose

The primary purpose of the Policy is to provide life insurance death benefit protection and flexibility for premium payments, and investment selections to meet your specific life insurance needs. This Policy may be appropriate if you are looking to provide a death benefit for family members or others. Discuss with your financial professional whether this Policy, its optional benefits and its Investment Options are appropriate for you, taking into consideration your age, income, net worth, tax status, insurance needs, financial objectives, investment goals, liquidity needs, time horizon, risk tolerance and relevant information. Together you can decide if this Policy is right for you. Also, before you purchase this Policy, you may request a personalized illustration of your hypothetical future benefits under the Policy based on your personal characteristics (e.g. age and risk class), Face Amount of your Policy, Death Benefit Option, Death Benefit Qualification Test, planned periodic premium, any Rider requested, and historical or hypothetical gross rate(s) of return.

Premiums

After you pay the first premium payment, the Policy gives you the flexibility to choose the amount and frequency of your additional premium payments within certain limits. You may schedule your premium payments, referred to as planned periodic premium, on an annual, semi-annual, quarterly, or monthly basis. You are not required to pay any planned premiums. However, payment of insufficient premiums may result in a lapse of the Policy. There is no guarantee that your Policy will not lapse even if you pay your planned premium. Your Policy will lapse if the Accumulated Value, less Policy Debt, is not enough to cover the monthly charge on the day we make the deduction. If this occurs, your Policy will enter its Grace Period. The Grace Period is 61 days from the date we send you a notice that explains the sufficient amount to pay to keep your Policy In Force. During the Grace Period, your Policy will remain In Force and continue to provide a death benefit. If sufficient premium has not been made within the Grace Period, your Policy will lapse. You should consider a periodic review of your coverage with your financial professional. This Policy offers riders that provide no-lapse protection for a certain period if rider conditions are met. See the Short-Term No-Lapse Guarantee Rider and the Flexible Duration No-Lapse Guarantee Rider in the OTHER BENEFITS AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY section. Also see the Lapsing and Reinstatement section in this prospectus.

Your net premium payments may be allocated to Variable Investment Options (each of which invests in a corresponding Fund), Fixed Options which provide a guaranteed minimum interest rate, and/or Indexed Fixed Options which may credit interest based in part on the performance of an underlying Index.

Additional information about the Funds is provided in the APPENDIX: FUNDS AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY section in this prospectus.

Federal tax law puts limits on the premium payments you can make in relation to your Policy’s Death Benefit. We may refuse all or part of a premium payment you make, or remove all or part of a premium from your Policy and return it to you under certain circumstances, for example, if the amount of premium you paid would result in your Policy no longer qualifying as life insurance or becoming a Modified Endowment Contract under the Tax Code.

Policy Features

Death Benefit

While the Policy is In Force, we will pay death benefit proceeds to the Beneficiary upon the death of the Insured. The death benefit proceeds equal the death benefit plus any additional benefit provided by a rider less any outstanding loan or unpaid Policy charges. You may choose between three Death Benefit Options:

 Option A – the Total Face Amount of the Policy,

 Option B – the Total Face Amount of the Policy plus the Accumulated Value, or

 Option C – the Total Face Amount of the Policy plus the total premiums that have been paid, less any withdrawals or distributions that reduce your Accumulated Value.

Policy charges vary depending on which Death Benefit Option or Death Benefit Qualification Test is selected.

Withdrawals

You can withdraw part of the Accumulated Value starting on your Policy’s first anniversary (no withdrawals may be made during the first year of the Policy but the Policy may be surrendered during the first year). Each withdrawal must be at least $200 and after a withdrawal, the remaining Accumulated Value less any loan amount must be at least $500. Making a withdrawal may have tax consequences, increase the risk of the Policy lapsing, and reduce Policy values and the Death Benefit. Withdrawals may also be subject to a charge of $25 per withdrawal, but we are not currently imposing this charge. Withdrawals from an Indexed Account may result in a Lockout Period where no transfers into an Indexed Account can occur for a 12-month period.

12


Surrender

You can surrender your Policy at any time while the Insured is alive. Any outstanding loan, loan interest, or surrender charge will be deducted and surrender proceeds will be paid in a single lump sum check. Upon surrender, you will have no life insurance coverage or benefits under this Policy. The surrender proceeds, or a portion of, may be subject to tax consequences, including a possible tax penalty on Modified Endowment Contract policies for certain situations including, but not limited to surrendering a policy owned by a natural person(s) before age 59 ½. Please consult your tax advisor.

Loans

You can borrow money from us any time after the Free Look Transfer Date to gain access to the Accumulated Value in the Policy. The maximum amount available to borrow is less than 100% of your Accumulated Value. Generally, the minimum amount you can borrow is $200. See the APPENDIX: STATE LAW VARIATIONS section in this prospectus for a list of state variations to the minimum loan amount. Loans may have tax consequences. A loan is available based on the Accumulated Value allocated to any of the Investment Options. When you borrow money from us, we use your Policy’s Accumulated Value as security. You pay interest on the amount you borrow which is due on your Policy Anniversary. The Accumulated Value set aside to secure your loan is transferred to a Loan Account which earns interest daily. Taking out a loan, whether or not you repay it, will affect the growth of your Policy’s Accumulated Value since the amount used to secure the loan will not participate in the investment experience of the Investment Options. Amounts held in the Loan Account are not available to pay any Policy charges. Taking out a loan may increase the risk of the Policy lapsing, and could reduce the amount of the Death Benefit.

Optional Benefits

The Policy offers the following Investment Option transfer services at no additional cost: dollar cost averaging, portfolio rebalancing, first year transfer, Fixed Option interest sweep, and the Scheduled Indexed Transfer program. You may only participate in one transfer service at any time. You can find additional information about the transfer services in the OTHER BENEFITS AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY section in this prospectus.

The Policy offers several riders (some for an additional charge) that provide supplemental benefits under the Policy. Any charges associated with each rider are presented in the FEE TABLES section below. You can find additional information about the Riders in the OTHER BENEFITS AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY and OPTIONAL RIDERS AND BENEFITS sections in this prospectus. Speak with your life insurance producer or contact us to determine which Riders were added to your Policy.

Also, before you purchase the Policy, you may request personalized illustrations. The maximum guaranteed cost of insurance rates for your Policy will be stated in the Policy Specifications and calculated per $1.00 of Coverage Layer.

PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE POLICY

Risk of Loss

You can lose money by investing in this Policy, including loss of principal and previous earnings. The Policy is not a deposit or obligation of, or guaranteed or endorsed by any bank. It is not federally insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Federal Reserve Board, or any other government agency.

Unsuitable as Short-Term Savings Vehicle (Surrender and Withdrawal Risk)

This Policy is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. The Policy is designed to provide a death benefit. The Policy may be inappropriate for you if you do not have the financial ability to keep it in force for a substantial period of time.

This Policy may not be the right kind of policy if you plan to withdraw money or surrender your Policy for short-term needs. Withdrawals cannot be take until after first year of the Policy and may be subject to withdrawal charges. A withdrawal will reduce your Accumulated Value and may significantly reduce the value of the death benefit or benefit riders under the Policy, potentially by more than the amount withdrawn, and could even terminate a benefit rider. Withdrawals may also significantly increase the risk of lapse.

Surrender charges reduce the Cash Surrender Value of your Policy. Surrender charges apply for up to 10 years after Policy issue and each Coverage Layer added to the Policy. A surrender or withdrawal may be subject to negative tax consequences. If there is a reduction in the Face Amount of a Coverage Layer, including decreases due to withdrawals, the surrender charge for the effected Coverage Layer will not change.

Please discuss your insurance needs and financial objectives with your life insurance producer. Together you can decide if the Policy is right for you. We are a variable life insurance policy provider. We are not a fiduciary and therefore do not give advice or make recommendations regarding insurance or investment products.

Policy Lapse

Your Policy remains In Force as long as you have sufficient Net Accumulated Value to cover your Policy’s monthly deductions of Policy charges. Insufficient premium payments, fees and expenses, poor investment performance, withdrawals, and unpaid loans or loan interest may cause your Policy to lapse – which means no death benefit or other benefits will be paid. There are costs associated with reinstating a lapsed Policy. There is no guarantee that your Policy will not lapse even if you pay your planned periodic premium. You should consider a periodic review of your coverage with your life insurance producer.

Before your Policy lapses, there is a Grace Period. The Grace Period gives you 61 days to pay enough additional premium to keep your Policy In Force and to prevent your Policy from lapsing. The 61-day period begins on the date we send notice that your Policy’s Accumulated Value less any Policy Debt is not enough to pay the total monthly charge.

18


The Policy may be eligible for the Short-Term No-Lapse Guarantee Rider that may help prevent the Policy from Lapsing. See the Short-Term No-Lapse Guarantee Rider in the OTHER BENEFITS AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY section in this prospectus.

If the Policy lapses, you have three years from the end of the Grace Period to apply for reinstatement. Evidence of insurability is required when you apply for reinstatement and there is no guarantee that reinstatement will be approved. The costs associated with reinstating a lapsed Policy include sufficient net premium to:

 cover all due and unpaid monthly deductions and loan interest charges that accrued during the Grace Period;

 keep the Policy in force for three months after the date of reinstatement, and

 cover any negative accumulated value if there was a policy loan or other outstanding debt at the time of lapse.

If the Policy is reinstated, the same Risk Class in use at the time of lapse will apply to the reinstated Policy.

Limitations on Access to Accumulated Value through Withdrawals

Withdrawals under the Policy are available starting on the first Policy Anniversary. Each withdrawal must be at least $200. We will not accept a withdrawal request if the withdrawal will cause the Policy to become a Modified Endowment Contract (MEC), unless you have told us in writing that you desire to have your Policy become a MEC. See the Tax Implications section below for additional information on MECs.

Risks Associated with Variable Investment Options

You should consider the Policy’s investment as well as its costs. Your investment is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the Variable Investment Options you have chosen. Each Variable Investment Option will have its own unique risks. The value of each Variable Investment Option will fluctuate with the value of the investments it holds, and returns are not guaranteed. You can lose money by investing in the Policy, including loss of principal. You bear the risk of any Variable Investment Options you choose. You should read each Fund prospectus carefully before investing. You can obtain a Fund prospectus by contacting your life insurance producer or by visiting https://www.pacificlife.com/home/products/life-insurance/variable-universal-life-insurance/prospectuses-and-other-reports.html. No assurance can be given that a Fund will achieve its investment objectives.

Risks Associated with Policy Loans

When you borrow money from your Policy, we use your Policy’s Accumulated Value as security. You pay interest, which accrues at the Loan Account Charge Interest Rate, on the amount you borrow. Accrued interest is due on your Policy Anniversary. The Accumulated Value set aside to secure your loan is transferred to a Loan Account which earns interest daily at the Loan Account Credit Interest Rate. Taking out a loan, whether or not you repay it, will affect the growth of your Policy’s Accumulated Value since the amount used to secure the loan will not participate in the investment experience of the Investment Options, will not be available to pay any Policy charges, may increase the risk of the Policy lapsing, and could reduce the amount of the Death Benefit.

Risks Associated with Fixed Options

Under the Fixed Options, there are frequency, amount and/or percentage limits on how much may be transferred from the Fixed Options. These limits are significantly more restrictive than those that apply to transfers out of the Variable Investment Options and it may take several Policy Years to transfer your Accumulated Value out of either of the Fixed Options to Variable Investment Options. Such restrictions on transfers from the Fixed Options may prevent you from reallocating your Accumulated Value at the times and in the amounts that you desire and may result in lower investment performance than if you allocated to Variable Investment Options. See the YOUR INVESTMENT OPTIONS – Transferring Among Investment Options and Market-timing Restrictions section in this prospectus. We declare the annual interest rate for the Fixed Options at our discretion, subject to a guaranteed minimum interest rate. You bear the risk that we will not declare an interest rate greater than the guaranteed minimum.

Risks Associated with Indexed Fixed Options

The value of the Segments in each of the Indexed Fixed Options is based on the way we credit interest to a Segment. We add interest using Segment Index Interest which, in part, is based on any positive change in an external index. There is no guarantee that Segment Indexed Interest will be greater than zero, but it will never be negative. If the underlying Index remains level or declines over a prolonged period of time and we have not credited Segment Index Interest, you may need to increase premium payments to prevent the Policy from lapsing.

Once a Segment is created, you cannot transfer Accumulated Value out of that Segment until the end of the Segment Term. Money may be transferred out for withdrawals and Policy loans, however, a Lockout Period will apply if the withdrawal or loan is not part of a systematic distribution program.

We manage our obligation to credit Segment Indexed Interest in part by purchasing call options on the Index and by prospectively adjusting the Participation Rate and/or Growth Cap on future Segments to reflect changes in the costs of purchasing such call options (the price of call options varies with market conditions). In certain cases, we may reduce the Participation Rate or the Growth Cap for

19


a future Segment. If we do so, the amount of the Segment Indexed Interest which you may otherwise have received would be reduced. However, we will not change any rates or caps below any guaranteed rates.

There is no guarantee that the Index described in this Prospectus will be available during the entire time you own your Policy. If the Index is discontinued or we are unable to utilize it, we may substitute a successor index of our choosing. If we do so, the performance of the new index would differ from the Index. This, in turn, may affect the Segment Indexed Interest you earn. There is no guarantee that we will offer the Indexed Accounts during the entire time you own your Policy. We may discontinue offering one (or more) of the Indexed Accounts at any time. If we discontinue an Indexed Account, you may transfer Indexed Accumulated Value to any other available Indexed Account or to the Fixed Options consistent with your Policy’s investment and transfer restrictions at Segment Maturity. If you do not do so, your Indexed Accumulated Value will be reallocated to the Fixed Account.

An allocation to the Indexed Fixed Options is not equivalent to investing in the underlying stocks comprising the Index. You will have no ownership rights in the underlying stocks comprising the Index, such as voting rights, dividend payments, or other distributions. Also, we are not affiliated with the Index or the underlying stocks comprising the Index. Consequently, the Index and the issuers of the underlying stocks comprising the Index have no involvement with the Policy.

Insurance Company Risks

Investment in the Policy is subject to the risks related to us, and any obligations (including under any Fixed Options or Indexed Fixed Options), guarantees, or benefits are backed by our claims paying ability and financial strength. You must look to our strength with regard to such guarantees.

Tax Implications

We believe the Policy meets the statutory definition of life insurance for federal income tax purposes. We do not know whether the current treatment of life insurance policies under current federal income tax, estate, or gift tax laws will continue. We also do not know if the current interpretations of the laws by the IRS or the courts will remain the same. Also, future legislation may adversely change the tax treatment of life insurance policies.

Death benefits from a life insurance policy may generally be excluded from income under the Tax Code. Also, you generally are not subject to taxation on any increase in the Accumulated Value until it is withdrawn. You may be subject to income tax if you take withdrawals or surrender your Policy, or if your Policy lapses and you have not repaid any outstanding Policy Debt. If your Policy becomes a MEC, distributions you receive beginning on the date the Policy becomes a MEC may be subject to tax and a 10% penalty.

Cybersecurity and Business Continuity Risks

Our business is highly dependent upon the effective operation of our computer systems and those of our business partners. As a result, our business is potentially susceptible to operational and information security risks associated with the technologies, processes and practices designed to protect networks, systems, computers, programs and data from attack, damage or unauthorized access. These risks include, among other things, the theft, loss, misuse, corruption and destruction of data maintained online or digitally, denial of service on websites and other operational disruption, and unauthorized release of confidential customer information. Cyber-attacks affecting us, any third-party administrator, the underlying Funds, intermediaries, and other affiliated or third-party service providers may adversely affect us and your Policy Accumulated Value. For instance, cyber-attacks may interfere with Policy transaction processing, including the processing of orders from our website or with the underlying Funds; impact our ability to calculate Accumulated Unit Values, Subaccount Unit Values or an underlying Fund to calculate a net asset value; cause the release and possible destruction of confidential customer or business information; impede order processing; subject us and/or our service providers and intermediaries to regulatory fines and financial losses; and/or cause reputational damage. Cybersecurity risks may also impact the issuers of securities in which the underlying Funds invest, which may cause the Funds underlying your Policy to lose value. The constant change in technologies and increased sophistication and activities of hackers and others, continue to pose new and significant cybersecurity threats. While measures have been developed that are designed to reduce cybersecurity risks, there can be no guarantee or assurance that we, the underlying Funds, or our service providers will not suffer losses affecting your Policy due to cyber-attacks or information security breaches in the future.

We are also exposed to risks related to natural and man-made disasters or other events, including (but not limited to) earthquakes, fires, floods, storms, epidemics and pandemics (such as COVID-19), terrorist acts, civil unrest, malicious acts and/or other events that could adversely affect our ability to conduct business. The risks from such events are common to all insurers. To mitigate such risks, we have business continuity plans in place that include remote workforces, remote system and telecommunication accessibility, and other plans to ensure availability of critical resources and business continuity during an event. Such events can also have an adverse impact on financial markets, U.S. and global economies, service providers, and Fund performance for the Funds available through your Policy. There can be no assurance that we, the Funds, or our service providers will avoid such adverse impacts due to such events and some events may be beyond control and cannot be fully mitigated or foreseen.

POLICY BASICS

MVP VUL Survivorship 3 is a last survivor flexible premium variable life insurance policy that insures the lives of two people and pays Death Benefit Proceeds after both people have died.

When you buy a MVP VUL Survivorship 3 life insurance Policy, you are entering into a contract with Pacific Life Insurance Company. Your contract with us is made up of your application, your Policy, applications to change or reinstate the Policy, any amendments, Riders or endorsements to your Policy, and Policy Specifications.

Issuing the Policy

Your life insurance producer will assist you in completing your application for the Policy. Your life insurance producer’s broker-dealer firm has up to 7 business days to review the application before it is sent to us. If we approve your application, we will issue your Policy. If your application does not meet our underwriting and administrative requirements, we can reject it or ask you for more information. When your Policy is sent to you, you will be asked to sign a policy delivery receipt. For Policy delivery status, check with your life insurance producer.

Our obligations to you under the Policy begin when it is In Force. We consider your Policy In Force when the following requirements are met:

 All necessary contractual and administrative requirements are met, and

 We receive and apply the initial premium to the Policy.

If there are any outstanding contractual or administrative requirements that prevent your Policy from being placed In Force, your life insurance producer will review them with you no later than when the Policy is delivered. See HOW PREMIUMS WORK – Your Initial Premium for more information.

Your Policy will be In Force until one of the following happens:

 The Survivor under the Policy dies

 The Grace Period expires and your Policy lapses, or

 You surrender your Policy.

If your Policy is not In Force when the Survivor dies, we are not obligated to pay the Death Benefit Proceeds to your Beneficiary.

Owners, the Insured, and Beneficiaries

Owners

You can own a Policy by yourself or with someone else. You need the signatures of all Owners for all Policy transactions.

If one of the Joint Owners dies, the surviving Owner will hold all rights under the Policy. If the Owner or the last Joint Owner dies, his or her estate will own the Policy unless you have given us other instructions.

You can change the Owner of your Policy by completing a Change of Owner Form. Please contact us or your financial professional for a Change of Owner Form. Once we receive and record your request, the change will be effective as of the day you signed the Change of Owner Form. You should consult your financial professional or legal counsel about designating ownership interests.

The Insureds

This Policy insures the lives of two people who are between the Ages of 18 and 90 at the time you apply for your Policy, and who have given us satisfactory evidence of insurability. The Policy pays Death Benefit Proceeds after the Survivor dies.

Each Insured is assigned an underwriting or insurance Risk Class which we use to calculate cost of insurance and other charges. We normally use the medical or paramedical underwriting method to assign underwriting or insurance Risk Classes, which may require a medical examination.

When we use a person’s Age in Policy calculations, we generally use his or her Age as of the nearest Policy Date, and we add one year to this Age on each Policy Anniversary. For example, when we talk about someone “reaching Age 100”, we are referring to the Policy Anniversary closest to that person’s 100th birthday, not to the day when he or she actually turns 100.

Beneficiaries

Here are some things you need to know about naming Beneficiaries:

 You can name one or more primary Beneficiaries who each receive an equal share of the Death Benefit Proceeds unless you tell us otherwise. If one Beneficiary dies, his or her share will pass to the surviving primary Beneficiaries in proportion to the share of the Death Benefit Proceeds they’re entitled to receive, unless you tell us otherwise.

 You can also name one or more contingent Beneficiaries. If no primary Beneficiaries survive the Insured, then the Death Benefit Proceeds will be distributed to each contingent Beneficiary equally, unless you tell us otherwise.

21


 You can choose to make your Beneficiary permanent (sometimes called irrevocable). You cannot change a permanent Beneficiary’s rights under the Policy without his or her permission.

If no Beneficiary (primary or contingent) is living when the Death Benefit Proceeds are payable, you, as the Policy Owner, will receive the Death Benefit Proceeds. If you are no longer living, the Death Benefit Proceeds will go to your estate.

You can change your Beneficiary at any time while either Insured is alive, and while the Policy is In Force. If you would like to change your Policy’s Beneficiary, please contact us or your financial professional for a Change of Beneficiary Form. Once we receive and record your request, the change will be effective as of the day you signed the Change of Beneficiary Form.

Policy Date

Your Policy Date

This is the date upon which life insurance coverage under the Policy becomes effective. It is also the beginning of your first Policy Year. Your Policy’s monthly, quarterly, semi-annual and annual anniversary dates are based on your Policy Date.

The Policy Date is set so that it never falls on the 29th, 30th or 31st of any month.

You or your financial professional may request that multiple applications have the same Policy Date and be placed In Force on a common date. For multilife or employer sponsored cases, please contact your financial professional for additional details.

Backdating your Policy

You can have your Policy backdated up to 6 months, as long as we approve it.

Backdating in some cases may lower your cost of insurance rates since these rates are based on the Age of the Insureds. Your first premium payment must cover the premium load and monthly charges for the period between the backdated Policy Date and the day your Policy is issued.

Re-dating your Policy

Once your Policy is issued, you may request us to re-date your Policy. This means your Policy will have a new Policy Date. Re-dating will only be allowed back to the date money is received on your Policy, and can be the earlier of:

 The date your Policy is delivered to you and you paid initial premium, or

 The date we received the initial premium, if earlier than the delivery date.

If your delivery date is the 29th, 30th or 31st of any month, the Policy will be dated the 28th of that month.

If the Policy is re-dated, no Policy charges will be deducted for any period during which Coverage was not provided under the terms of the Policy and all Policy charges will be calculated from the new Policy Date. There will be no Coverage before the new Policy Date.

It may be disadvantageous to request that the Policy be re-dated. A new Policy Date may cause an Insured’s Age for insurance purposes to change and the cost of insurance rates to increase. It will also affect events based on time elapsed since Policy Date, such as suicide and contestable clauses and surrender charge periods.

We will not re-date Policies that are issued with a temporary insurance premium. Policies with the Policy Date pre-determined under an employer or corporate sponsored plan may not be eligible to re-date.

Illustrations

We will provide you with Illustrations based on different sets of assumptions upon your request.

 Illustrations based on information you give us about the Age of the people to be insured by the Policy, their Risk Class, the Face Amount of all Coverage Layers, the Death Benefit Option, planned periodic premium payments, and any Rider requested.

 Illustrations that show the allocation of premium payments to specified Variable Accounts. These will reflect the expenses of the Fund in which the Variable Account invests.

 Illustrations used for Policy Issues that use a hypothetical gross rate of return up to 12% are available.

 Illustrations used after your Policy is In Force use both historical and hypothetical rates.

You can request such Illustrations at any time. Such Illustrations reflect assumptions about the Policy’s non-guaranteed elements and about how you will use the Policy’s options. Over time the Policy’s actual non-guaranteed elements, and your actual use of the Policy’s options, are likely to vary from the assumptions used in such Illustrations. For these reasons, actual Policy values will likely be more or less favorable than shown in such Illustrations. You can get one Policy Illustration free of charge per Policy Year. We reserve the right to charge $25 for each additional Illustration.

Your Free Look Right

Your Policy provides a free look period once the Policy is delivered to you and you sign the Policy delivery receipt. During the free look period, you have the Free Look Right to cancel (or refuse) your Policy and return it with instructions to us or your life insurance

22


producer for a refund. The amount refunded may be more or less than the premium payments you have made and the length of the free look period may vary, depending on the state where you signed your application and the type of policy you purchased.

You will find a complete description of the free look period that applies to your Policy on the Policy’s cover sheet or on a notice that accompanies it. Generally, the free look period ends 10 days after you receive your Policy, but in some states, the free look is different. See APPENDIX: STATE LAW VARIATIONS for a list of state variations to the free look period. Some states may also have a different free look period if you are replacing another life insurance policy. Please call us or your life insurance producer if you have questions about your Free Look Right.

We will allocate any premium payments we receive during the free look period in accordance with the requirements of the state in which your Policy was issued. In states that require us to return all premiums paid, your initial Net Premium will be allocated to the Fidelity VIP Government Money Market Variable Account and will remain there during the entire free look period. At the end of the free look period, your premiums will be allocated to the Variable Investment Options you selected. In states that do not require us to return all premiums paid, your initial Net Premium will be applied to the Variable Investment Options you selected.

If your Policy was issued in a state that requires us to refund your premium, the amount of the refund is the greater of premium payments received during the Free-Look Period or the Policy’s Accumulated Value, plus any Policy charges and fees deducted, less Policy debt. If your Policy was issued in a state that does not require us to refund your premium, the amount we return to you will include:

 Any charges or taxes we have deducted from your premiums;

 The Net Premiums allocated to the Fixed Options;

 The Accumulated Value allocated to the Variable Investment Options; and

 Any monthly fees and charges we have deducted from your Policy’s Accumulated Value in the Variable Investment Options.

The amount of your refund may be more or less than the premium payments you have made, depending on the state in which your Policy was issued. See APPENDIX: STATE LAW VARIATIONS for information on which states do or do not require refund of premiums paid.

California Policies

For Policies issued in the state of California, the Policy’s free look period is 30 days from date of delivery as of the Policy effective date if:

 An individual Policyowner is Age 60 or older; or

 The Policyowner is either a Guardian, a Custodian or an Individual Trust, and the Insured is age 60 and over.

During the 30-day free look period, we will hold the Net Premiums in the Fidelity® VIP Government Money Market Variable Account. On the day following the end of the 30-day free look period, we will automatically transfer the Accumulated Value in the Fidelity® VIP Government Money Market Variable Account to the Investment Options you chose. This automatic transfer to your Investment Option allocation choices is excluded from the transfer limitations described later in this prospectus. If you exercise your Free Look Right during the 30-day free look period, we will refund the greater of premium payments received during the Free-Look period or the Policy’s Accumulated Value, plus any Policy charges and fees deducted, less any Policy Debt. You may specifically direct that, during the 30-day free look period, all Net Premiums received by us be immediately allocated to the Investment Options according to your most recent allocation instructions. You may do this:

 On your application

 In writing any time prior to the end of the 30-day free look period.

If you specifically request your Net Premiums be immediately allocated to the Investment Options, and you exercise your Free Look Right during the 30-day free look period, the amount of your refund may be more or less than the premium payments you have made. Your refund will be calculated as of the day we or your life insurance producer receive your request and the Policy. The refund will be:

 Any charges or taxes we have deducted from your premiums

 The Net Premiums allocated to the Fixed Options

 The Accumulated Value allocated to the Variable Investment Options and the Indexed Fixed Options

 Any monthly charges and fees we have deducted from your Policy’s Accumulated Value in the Variable Investment Options.

When we make payments and transfers

We will normally send the proceeds of withdrawals, loans, surrenders, exchanges and Death Benefit payments, and process transfer requests, within seven days after the effective date of the request In Proper Form. We may delay payments and transfers, or the calculation of payments and transfers based on the value in the Variable Investment Options under unusual circumstances, for example, if:

24


 The New York Stock Exchange closes on a day other than a regular holiday or weekend

 Trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted

 An emergency exists as determined by the SEC, as a result of which the sale of securities is not practicable, or it is not practicable to determine the value of a Variable Account’s assets, or

 The SEC permits a delay for the protection of Policy Owners.

We may delay transfers and payments from the Fixed Options and the Indexed Fixed Options, including the proceeds from withdrawals, surrenders and loans, for up to six months. We will pay interest at an annual rate of at least 2.00% on any withdrawals or surrender proceeds from the Fixed Options or the Indexed Fixed Options that we delay for 10 days or more. If we defer payment of surrenders, withdrawals or loans for more than 10 days after we receive your request, we will pay interest at the rate required by the state in which the Policy is delivered, but not less than an annual rate equal to the guaranteed rate payable on the Fixed Options.

Death Benefit Proceeds paid are subject to the conditions and adjustments defined in other Policy provisions, such as General Provisions, Withdrawals, Policy Loans, and Timing of Payments. We will pay interest on the Death Benefit Proceeds from the date of death at a rate not less than the rate payable for funds left on deposit. If payment of Death Benefit Proceeds is delayed more than 31 calendar days after we receive the above requirements needed to pay the claim, we will pay additional interest at a rate of 10% annually beginning with the 31st calendar day. Death Benefit Proceeds are paid as a lump sum unless you choose another payment method, as described in GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR POLICY – Income Benefit. Contact us, your life insurance producer, or refer to your Policy or Rider to determine if state specific differences apply.

Statements and Reports We Will Send You

We send the following statements, reports, and other documents and notifications to policy owners:

 A confirmation for certain financial transactions, usually including premium payments, transfers, loans, loan repayments, withdrawals and surrenders. Monthly deductions and scheduled transactions made under the dollar cost averaging, portfolio rebalancing and first year transfer services are reported on your quarterly Policy statement.

 A quarterly Policy statement. The statement will tell you the Accumulated Value of your Policy by Investment Options, Cash Surrender Value, the amount of the Death Benefit, the Policy’s Face Amount, and any Policy Debt. It will also include a summary of all transactions that have taken place since the last quarterly statement, as well as any other information required by law.

 An annual Policy statement. The report will provide the same information as the quarterly Policy statement (e.g. Accumulated Value, Cash Surrender Value, etc.) but will include a summary of all transactions that have taken place since the last annual Policy statement.

 Supplemental schedules of benefits and planned periodic premiums. We will send these to you if you change your Policy’s Face Amount or change any of the Policy’s other benefits.

 Other documents and notifications as required by law.

If you identify an error on a confirmation, quarterly or annual statement, you must notify us in writing as soon as possible, preferably within 90 days from the date of the confirmation or statement, to ensure proper accounting to your Policy. When you write us, include your name, Policy number and description of the identified error.

Mail will be sent to you at the mailing address you have provided. If mail is returned to us as undeliverable multiple times, we will discontinue mailing to your last known address. We will, however, regularly attempt to locate your new mailing address, and will resume mailing your policy related materials to you upon confirmation of your new address. You can access the statements referenced above through the Policy Owner website, My Life Insurance Account at https://Life.MyAccount.PacificLife.com, or receive copies of documents from us upon request.

Telephone and Electronic Transactions

By electing this option on the application, you authorize us to accept telephone and electronic instructions for the following transactions:

 Transfers between Investment Options

 Initiate the dollar cost averaging and portfolio rebalancing service

 Change future premium allocation instructions

 Initiate loans, requests for additional loans and loan repayments.

If you do not authorize us to accept telephone or electronic instructions on your application, you can later instruct us to accept telephone or electronic instructions as long as you complete and file a Transaction Authorization Form with us.

25


Certain life insurance producers are able to give us instructions electronically if authorized by you. You may appoint anyone to give us instructions on your behalf by completing and filing a Transaction Authorization Form with us.

Here are some things you need to know about telephone and electronic transactions:

 If your Policy is jointly owned, all Joint Owners must sign the Transaction Authorization Form. We will take instructions from any Owner or anyone you appoint.

 We may use any reasonable method to confirm that your telephone or electronic instructions are genuine. For example, we may ask you to provide personal identification or we may record all or part of the telephone conversation. We may refuse any transaction request made by telephone or electronically.

 A new Transaction Authorization Form will be required when a registered representative changes to a new Broker-Dealer.

We will send you a written confirmation of each telephone and electronic transaction.

Sometimes, you may not be able to make loans or transfers by telephone or electronically, for example, if our telephone lines or our website are busy because of unusual market activity or a significant economic or market change, or our telephone lines or the Internet are out of service during severe storms or other emergencies or due to operational disruptions. In these cases, you can send your request to us in writing, or call us when service has resumed.

When you authorize us to accept your telephone and electronic instructions, you agree that:

 We can accept and act upon instructions you or anyone you appoint give us over the telephone or electronically

 Neither we, any of our affiliates, the Pacific Select Fund, or any director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of ours or theirs will be liable for any loss, damages, costs or expenses that result from transactions processed because of a request by telephone or submitted electronically that we believe to be genuine, as long as we have followed our own procedures

 You bear the risk of any loss that arises from your right to make loans or transfers over the telephone or electronically.

26


DEATH BENEFITS

The Death Benefit

We will pay Death Benefit Proceeds to your Beneficiary after the Survivor dies while the Policy is still In Force. Your Beneficiary generally will not have to pay federal income tax on the portion of any Death Benefit Proceeds that are payable as a lump sum at death. Some Riders and settlement options may affect how the Death Benefit Proceeds are paid, see the OPTIONAL RIDERS AND BENEFITS section in this prospectus for more details.

Your Policy’s Death Benefit depends on three choices you must make:

 The Total Face Amount

 The Death Benefit Option

 The Death Benefit Qualification Test

The Policy’s Death Benefit is the higher of:

1. The Death Benefit calculated under the Death Benefit Option in effect; or

2. The Minimum Death Benefit according to the Death Benefit Qualification Test that applies to your Policy.

Certain Riders may impact the Policy’s Death Benefit, see the OPTIONAL RIDERS AND BENEFITS section in this prospectus.

Withdrawals and Policy Loans may impact the Policy’s Death Benefit, see the WITHDRAWALS, SURRENDERS AND LOANS section in this prospectus for more details.

The Total Face Amount

The Face Amount of your Policy and any Rider providing Coverage on the Insured is used to determine the Death Benefit as well as certain Policy charges, including the cost of insurance, Coverage charge and surrender charges.

Your Policy’s Face Amount is made up of one or more of the following types of Coverage:

1. Basic Face Amount – the Face Amount under the Policy

2. Face Amount under SVER Term Insurance Rider- Last Survivor (SVER-LS)

3. Face Amount under the Annual Renewable Term Rider- Last Survivor (ARTR-LS)

Your Policy must have a Basic Face Amount. You may also select SVER-LS and ARTR-LS Coverage at Policy issue. These riders are described in Optional Riders and Benefits.

Each type of Face Amount you select creates a Coverage Layer. Your Policy’s initial amount of insurance Coverage, which you select in your application, is its initial Face Amount. The Policy’s Total Face Amount is the sum of the Face Amounts of all Coverage Layers. The Coverage Layers you select in your application are effective on the Policy Date. The minimum Total Face Amount at Policy issue is $100,000. You will find your Policy’s Total Face Amount, which includes any increases or decreases, in the Policy Specifications in your Policy.

If you request an increase in Face Amount, a new Coverage Layer will be created, with its own Coverage Layer Date and Policy charges.

If you request a decrease in Face Amount, the Coverage charge will not change and the cost of insurance charge may decrease since the Face Amount decrease may affect the Net Amount At Risk. No surrender charges are imposed on a Face Amount decrease.

Changing the Face Amount

You can increase or decrease your Policy’s Face Amount as long as we approve it. If you change the Face Amount, we will send you a Supplemental Schedule of Coverage for benefits and premiums.

 You can change the Face Amount as long as the Insured is alive.

 You must send us your Written Request while your Policy is In Force.

 Unless you request otherwise, the change will become effective on the first Monthly Payment Date on or after we receive and approve your request.

 Changing the Total Face Amount can affect the Net Amount At Risk, which affects the cost of insurance charge. An increase in the Face Amount may increase the cost of insurance charge, while a decrease may decrease the charge.

 If your Policy’s Death Benefit is equal to the Minimum Death Benefit, and the Net Amount At Risk is more than three times the Death Benefit on the Policy Date, we may reduce the Death Benefit by requiring you to make a withdrawal from your Policy. If

27


we require you to make a withdrawal, the withdrawal may be taxable. Please turn to the WITHDRAWALS, SURRENDERS AND LOANS section in this prospectus for information about making withdrawals.

 We can refuse your request to make the Face Amount less than $10,000.00. We may waive this minimum amount in certain situations, such as group or sponsored arrangements.

Requesting an Increase in Face Amount

You may request an increase in the Face Amount under the Policy, SVER-LS rider, or ARTR-LS rider. Each increase will create a new Coverage Layer.

Here are some additional things you should know about requesting an increase in the Face Amount under the Policy:

 Both Insureds must be alive and Age 90 or younger at the time of the increase.

 You must give us satisfactory evidence of insurability for both Insureds.

 Each increase you make to the Face Amount must be $25,000 or more.

 We may charge you a fee of up to $200 for each increase. We deduct the fee on the day the increase is effective from all of your Investment Options in proportion to the Accumulated Value you have in each Investment Option.

 Each increase in Face Amount will have an associated cost of insurance rate, may have a Coverage charge and may have a surrender charge. Any cost or charge changes will take effect on the next Monthly Payment Date after the Face Amount increase is applied to the Policy.

 We reserve the right to limit Face Amount increases to one per Policy Year.

Scheduled Increases in Face Amount

There may be scheduled increases in ARTR-LS Rider Coverage Face Amount, under the VIR-LS riders. All Scheduled Increases will be shown in the Policy Specifications. Each such increase is referred to as a Scheduled Increase. Scheduled Increases will not require medical underwriting.

A Scheduled Increase in ARTR-LS Rider Coverage will increase the Face Amount of the existing Coverage Layer.

There is a Cost of Insurance Charge associated with each such Scheduled Increase that has gone into effect and continues to be in effect. Such Cost of Insurance Charge is part of the Monthly Deduction for the Policy and is calculated the same as that for other Coverage Layers, subject to maximum Cost of Insurance Rates that are the same as those applicable to the initial Coverage Layer. The monthly Cost of Insurance Rates are shown in the Policy Specifications.

There are no surrender charges or Coverage charges associated with any Scheduled Increases of ARTR-LS Coverage.

Other Increases in Face Amount

The Policy’s Face Amount may increase under the Policy, the SVER Rider or the ART Rider when you request a change in Death Benefit Option. In this case, we will increase the Face Amount of the most recently issued Coverage Layer. If there are Basic and Rider Coverage Layers with the same Coverage Layer Date, we will increase the Rider Face Amount first.

Requesting a Decrease in Total Face Amount

You may request a decrease in the Policy’s Total Face Amount. A decrease in the Total Face Amount is subject to the following limits:

 We do not allow decreases during the first Policy Year

 You may only request one decrease per Policy Year

 The Policy’s Face Amount must be at least $10,000 following a decrease. We can refuse your request if the change in Face Amount would mean that your Policy no longer qualifies as Life Insurance under the Code

 Unless you have told us otherwise in writing, any request for a decrease will not take effect if the Policy would be classified as a Modified Endowment Contract under the Code.

Decreasing the Total Face Amount may affect your Policy’s tax status. To ensure your Policy continues to qualify as life insurance, we might be required:

 To return part of your premium payments to you if you have chosen the Guideline Premium Test, or

 To make distributions from the Accumulated Value, which may be taxable. For more information, please see the VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE AND YOUR TAXES section in this prospectus.

We can refuse your request if the amount of any distributions would exceed the Net Cash Surrender Value under the Policy.

If there is a decrease in Total Face Amount, the Coverage charge will not change and the cost of insurance charge may decrease since the Face Amount decrease may affect the Net Amount At Risk. No surrender charge is imposed on a Face Amount decrease.

28


Processing of Decreases

Decreasing the Total Face Amount, whether as a result of your request or as a result of a withdrawal or change in Death Benefit Option, will reduce the Face Amount of the Coverage Layers.

We will apply any decrease in the Face Amount to eligible Coverage Layers to the most recent eligible increases you made to the Face Amount first and then to the Initial Face Amount.

If you elected an accelerated death benefit rider, any accelerated Death Benefit payments made under a rider will decrease the Total Face Amount. You can find specific information about this decrease in the applicable rider description which can be found in the OPTIONAL RIDERS AND BENEFITS section.

If more than one Coverage Layer has the same Coverage Layer Date, we will first reduce the Face Amount of any ARTR-LS Coverage Layer first, then any SVER-LS Coverage Layer, and then the Basic Face Amount of any Policy Coverage Layer.

Death Benefit Options

The Policy offers three Death Benefit Options, Options A, B, and C. The Death Benefit Option you choose will generally depend on which is more important to you: the amount of the Death Benefit, Cost of Insurance Charges or the Accumulated Value of your Policy.

Death Benefit Option A provides a death benefit equal to the Total Face Amount of the Policy. Additional premiums and Investment Option performance do not change the Total Face Amount, except in limited circumstances to ensure that the Policy qualifies as life insurance under the Code. However, additional premiums and positive Investment Option performance will increase the Accumulated Value and decrease the Net Amount At Risk which may, in turn, reduce Cost of Insurance charges. Withdrawals may reduce the Total Face Amount depending on the timing, withdrawal amount and withdrawal frequency during a Policy year.

Death Benefit Option B provides a death benefit equal to the Total Face Amount of the Policy plus the Accumulated Value. Additional premiums and positive Investment Option performance will increase the death benefit. However, since the death benefit under this option is based, in part, on the Accumulated Value, Policy charges and negative Investment Option performance may decrease the death benefit. Cost of Insurance charges are generally higher than Death Benefit Option A. Withdrawals do not reduce the Total Face Amount, but they do reduce the Accumulated Value which will in turn reduce the Death Benefit.

Death Benefit Option C provides a death benefit equal to the Total Face Amount of the Policy plus the total premiums paid, minus any withdrawal or distributions that reduce the Accumulated Value. The more premiums you pay and the less you withdraw, the larger the Death Benefit, subject to the Option C Death Benefit Limit. However, while taking withdrawals does not reduce the Total Face Amount, it does increase the sum of the withdrawals, which has the effect of reducing the Death Benefit. Cost of Insurance charges are generally higher than Death Benefit Option A.

Below is a chart that compares each Death Benefit Option based on features you may want to consider.

    

Feature 

Death Benefit Option A 

Death Benefit Option B 

Death Benefit Option C 

Death Benefit 

Equal to Total Face Amount 

Equal to Total Face Amount plus Accumulated Value 

Equal to Total Face Amount plus total premiums paid less any withdrawals or distributions that impact your Accumulated Value subject to the Option C Death Benefit Limit.   

Cost of Insurance 

Generally, higher Accumulated Values will decrease the Net Amount at Risk.  This may in turn reduce Cost of Insurance charges. Cost of Insurance charges are generally lower than Death Benefit Option B and C. 

Generally, higher Accumulated Values will have no impact on the Net Amount at Risk. Cost of Insurance charges are generally higher than Death Benefit Option A. 

Generally, higher Accumulated Values will decrease the Net Amount at Risk, but premium payments will increase your Net Amount at Risk. Cost of Insurance charges are generally higher than Death Benefit Option A. 

Accumulated Value 

The Accumulated Value has no impact on your death benefit except to ensure that the Policy qualifies as life insurance under the Code (see the Minimum Death Benefit in the Death Benefits – Death Benefit Qualification Test section in this prospectus). However, your Cost of Insurance Charges are generally lower than Death Benefit Option B and C. Lower Cost of Insurance charges can lead to higher Accumulated Values.  

The higher your Accumulated Value, the higher the Death Benefit. However, your Cost of Insurance Charges are generally higher than Death Benefit Option A and higher Cost of Insurance Charges can lead to lower Accumulated Values.     

The Accumulated Value has no impact on your death benefit except to ensure that the Policy qualifies as life insurance under the Code (see the Minimum Death Benefit in the Death Benefits – Death Benefit Qualification Test section in this prospectus). However, your Cost of Insurance Charges are generally higher than Death Benefit Option A and higher Cost of Insurance Charges can lead to lower

Accumulated Values.     

Impact of Withdrawals 

May reduce Total Face Amount and if it does, there will be a reduction in the Death Benefit.  

Does not reduce Total Face Amount.  But it does reduce the Accumulated Value which will in turn reduce the Death Benefit. 

Does not reduce Total Face Amount. But it does increase the total sum of withdrawals, which will reduce the Death Benefit.  

All three Death Benefit Options in the table above and their features may be impacted by the Minimum Death Benefit. See the Death Benefits – Death Benefit Qualification Test section in this prospectus.

Here are some things you need to know about the Death Benefit:

 You choose your Death Benefit Option and Death Benefit Qualification Test on your Policy application.

 If you do not choose a Death Benefit Option, we will assume you have chosen Option A.

 The Death Benefit will never be lower than the Total Face Amount of your Policy if you have chosen Option A or B.

 You may change your Death Benefit Option subject to certain limits.

The Death Benefit Options are:

     

Option A – the Total Face Amount of your Policy.

 

Option B – the Total Face Amount of your Policy plus its Accumulated Value.

 

Option C – the Total Face Amount of your Policy plus the total premiums you have paid minus any withdrawals or distributions that reduce your Accumulated Value.

 

 

    

The Death Benefit is designed to remain level.

 

The Death Benefit changes as your Policy’s Accumulated Value changes. The better your Investment Options perform, the larger the Death Benefit will be, but will never be lower than Death Benefit Option A.

 

The more premiums you pay and the less you withdraw, the larger the Death Benefit will be.

The graphs are intended to show how the Death Benefit Options work and are not predictive of investment performance in your Policy. The Death Benefit Option selected by an investor impacts the dollar value of the Death Benefit, the charges paid, and the resulting Accumulated Value.

Limits on Option C

The following limits apply to Option C:

 Option C may be elected only at Policy issue.

 To elect Option C, the Insureds must be Age 80 or younger at the time the Policy is issued.

 The Death Benefit calculated under Option C will be limited to the Option C Death Benefit Limit shown in your Policy Specifications.

 Once the Policy is issued, the Option C Death Benefit Limit will not change, even if you increase or decrease the Face Amount of your Policy or any Rider.

 We will not approve any increase in Face Amount to the Policy or any Rider that would cause the Death Benefit to exceed the Option C Death Benefit Limit.

Changing Your Death Benefit Option

You can change your Death Benefit Option while your Policy is In Force, subject to the following:

 You can change the Death Benefit Option once in any Policy Year.

 You must send us your Written Request.

 You can change from any Death Benefit Option to Option A or Option B.

 You cannot change from Death Benefit Option A or B to Option C.

30


 The change will become effective on the first Monthly Payment Date after we receive your request. If we receive your request on a Monthly Payment Date, we will process it that day.

 We will not let you change the Death Benefit Option if doing so means the Face Amount of your Policy will become less than $10,000.

 Changing the Death Benefit Option can also affect the monthly cost of insurance charge since this charge varies with the Net Amount At Risk.

 The new Death Benefit Option will be used in all future calculations.

We will not change your Death Benefit Option if it means your Policy will be treated as a Modified Endowment Contract, unless you have told us in writing that this would be acceptable to you. Modified Endowment Contracts are discussed in the VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE AND YOUR TAXES section in this prospectus.

Changing your Death Benefit Option will increase or decrease your Total Face Amount under the Policy. The Total Face Amount of your Policy will change by the amount needed to make the Death Benefit under the new Death Benefit Option equal the Death Benefit under the old Death Benefit Option just before the change.

If the change is an increase in the Total Face Amount, we will process the increase as described in the DEATH BENEFITS – Changing the Face Amount – Other Increases in Face Amount section in this prospectus. If the change is a decrease in the Total Face Amount, we will process the decrease as described in the DEATH BENEFITS – Changing the Face Amount – Processing of Decreases section in this prospectus.

Death Benefit Qualification Test

In order for your Policy to be qualified as Life Insurance under the Code, it must qualify under one of two Tests, the Cash Value Accumulation Test (CVAT) or the Guideline Premium Test (GPT).

You choose one of these Death Benefit Qualification Tests on your application. If no Death Benefit Qualification Test is chosen, we will confirm the desired Death Benefit Qualification Test selection with your life insurance producer. Your Death Benefit Qualification Test determines the following:

 Premium limitations

 Amount of Minimum Death Benefit

Each test determines what the Minimum Death Benefit should be in relation to your Policy’s Accumulated Value. The Death Benefit determined under either test will be at least equal to the amount required for the Policy to qualify as life insurance under the Tax Code.

Comparing the Death Benefit Qualification Tests

The table below shows a general comparison of how features of your Policy may be affected by your choice of Death Benefit Qualification Test. When choosing between the tests, you should consider:

   
 

Cash Value
Accumulation Test

Guideline Premium Test

Premium payments1

Allows flexibility to pay more premium

Premium payments are limited under the Tax Code

Death Benefit

Generally higher as Policy duration increases

May be higher in early years of Policy

Monthly cost of insurance charges

May be higher, if the Death Benefit is higher

May be lower, except perhaps in early years of Policy

Face Amount decreases

Will not require return of premium or distribution of Accumulated Value

May require return of premium or distribution of Accumulated Value to continue Policy as life insurance

1 If you want to pay a premium that increases the Net Amount At Risk, you will need to provide us with satisfactory evidence of insurability before we can increase the Death Benefit. In this event, your cost of insurance charges will also increase. Cost of insurance charges are based, among other things, upon your Policy’s Net Amount At Risk. See YOUR POLICY’S ACCUMULATED VALUE for more information on how cost of insurance charges are calculated.

Examples of Death Benefit Calculations

The tables below compare the Death Benefits provided by the Policy’s available Death Benefit Options. The examples are intended only to show differences in Death Benefits and Net Amounts at Risk. Accumulated Value assumptions may not be realistic.

These examples show that each Death Benefit Option provides a different level of protection. Keep in mind that generally, cost of insurance charges, which affect your Policy’s Accumulated Value, increase over time. The cost of insurance is charged at a rate based on the Net Amount At Risk. As the Net Amount At Risk increases, your cost of insurance increases. Accumulated Value also varies depending on the performance of the Investment Options in your Policy.

The example below assumes the following:

31


 The Insureds are a male non-smoker Age 56 and a female non-smoker Age 53 at the time the Policy was issued, and where the Survivor passes away at the beginning of the 20th Policy Year

 Face Amount is $1,000,000

 Accumulated Value at the date of death is $600,000

 Total premium paid into the Policy is $300,000

 The Minimum Death Benefit under the Guideline Premium Test is $666,000 (assuming a Guideline Premium Test factor of 111% of the Accumulated Value)

 The Minimum Death Benefit under the Cash Value Accumulation Test is $1,061,249 (assuming a Net Single Premium factor of 1.76874869 of the Accumulated Value).

        
   

If you select the Guideline
Premium Test, the Death
Benefit is the larger of these two amounts

 $1,554,000 for the Guideline Premium Test

 $2,476,248 for the Cash Value Accumulation Test.

When We Pay the Death Benefit

We calculate the amount of the Death Benefit Proceeds effective the end of the day the Insured dies. If the Insured dies on a day that is not a Valuation Day, any portion of the Death Benefit Proceeds attributed to the Variable Accumulated Value is determined as of the next Valuation Day.

Your Policy’s Beneficiary must send us proof that both Insureds died while the Policy was In Force, along with payment instructions. If both Insureds die at the same time, or if it is not clear who died first, we will assume the older Insured died first.

Death Benefit Proceeds equal the total of the Death Benefits provided by your Policy and any Riders you have added, minus any Policy Debt, minus any overdue charges. We will pay the Death Benefit Proceeds within 2 months after we receive proof that both Insureds died while the Policy was In Force.

It is important that we have a current address, social security number, telephone number and email address for each designated Beneficiary so that we can pay Death Benefit Proceeds promptly. If we cannot pay the Death Benefit Proceeds to the designated Beneficiary within the dormancy period defined by a state's Unclaimed Property laws or regulations, we will be required to pay the Death Benefit Proceeds to the applicable state. Once the Death Benefit Proceeds are paid to a state, any subsequent claim by a designated Beneficiary must be made with the applicable state. For more information, check with the state to whom the Death Benefit Proceeds were paid.

OTHER BENEFITS AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY

In addition to the standard death benefits associated with your Policy, other standard and/or optional benefits may also be available to you. The following table summarizes information about those benefits. Information about the fees associated with each benefit included in the table may be found in the FEE TABLE section.

    

Name of Benefit

Purpose

Is Benefit Standard or Optional?

Loans

Allow you to borrow money from your Policy at any time after the Free Look Transfer Date to gain access to the Accumulated Value in the Policy.

Standard

 The maximum amount available to borrow will be less than 100% of your Accumulated Value and the minimum amount is $200.

 You pay interest on the amount you borrow which is due on your Policy Anniversary.

 The Accumulated Value set aside to secure your loan is transferred to a Loan Account which earns interest daily.

 Taking out a loan, whether or not you repay it, will affect the growth of your Policy’s Accumulated Value since the amount used to secure the loan will not participate in the investment experience of the Investment Options, will not be available to any Policy charges, may increase the risk of the Policy lapsing and could reduce the amount of the Death Benefit.

 Loans may have tax consequences.

   

Portfolio Rebalancing

Allows you to make automatic transfers among the Variable Investment Options according to your allocation instructions.

Standard

 Transfers can be scheduled monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually.

 Subject to the eligibility and other conditions described in the Rider such as certification of having a terminal illness, making a written request for benefits, and not exceeding the maximum amount of the Death Benefit that may be utilized for terminal illness benefits.

 Terminal illness must be certified by a licensed physician (not the insured, owner, beneficiary, or any relative).

OPTIONAL RIDERS AND BENEFITS

There are optional Riders that provide supplemental benefits under the Policy, some for an additional charge. Any charges associated with each Rider are presented in the FEE TABLES section. Ask your life insurance producer or contact us to determine which Riders were added to your Policy.

Some broker/dealers may limit their clients from purchasing some optional benefits based on the client’s age or other factors. You should work with your financial professional to decide whether an optional benefit is appropriate for you.

Certain restrictions may apply and are described in the rider or benefit. We will add any ongoing rider charges to the monthly charge we deduct from your Policy’s Accumulated Value. Some rider charges apply upon exercise of the benefit or benefit-related requests. See the FEE TABLES section in this prospectus for information about rider charges.

Complete information about each Rider is below.

Annual Renewable Term Rider — Individual (ARTR-I)

Provides term insurance on either Insured or individually on both Insureds and renews annually until the Policy terminates. The Death Benefit is payable at the death of the Insured covered by the Rider. The Rider is available for Insureds Age 18 through 90 at the time of Rider issue. You may purchase the Rider at Policy issue, subject to satisfactory evidence of insurability. The amount of Coverage can be level or vary every year and may follow any pattern, subject to underwriting approval, to match your need for insurance. Annual increases are scheduled at issue. You may also request unscheduled increases or decreases in Face Amount of the Rider, subject to certain limitations.

The guaranteed monthly cost of insurance rate will be shown in your Policy Specifications. Our current cost of insurance rates may be lower than the guaranteed rates.

You may request increases or decreases in Face Amount of the Rider. Each increase will be subject to satisfactory evidence of insurability and will have associated cost of insurance based on the Age and Risk Class of the Insured under this Rider on the effective date of the increase. Unless you request otherwise, the increase will become effective on the first Monthly Payment Date on or following the date we receive and approve your request. We may deduct an administrative charge not to exceed $100 from your Policy’s Accumulated Value on the effective date of any unscheduled increase. You must send a Written Request if you wish to decrease the Face Amount of this Rider. Decreases will be effective on the first Monthly Payment Date on or following the date the Written Request is received at our Life Insurance Division. Decreases will first be applied against the most recent increase, if any, and then against successively earlier increases, if any, and finally against the original ARTR-I Face Amount.

The Rider will terminate on the earliest of your Written Request, or on lapse or termination of this Policy. In addition, Coverage under this Rider on any individual Insured will terminate on the earlier of the death of that individual Insured, or the date that individual Insured reaches Age 121.

Annual Renewable Term Rider — Last Survivor (ARTR-LS)

Provides term insurance on the Insureds and renews annually until the Policy terminates. The Rider is available for Insureds Age 18 through 90 at the time of Rider issue. The amount of Coverage can be level or vary every year and may follow any pattern, subject to underwriting approval, to match your need for insurance. Annual increases are scheduled at issue. You may also request unscheduled increases or decreases in Face Amount of the Rider, subject to certain limitations.

The Rider is payable on the death of the Survivor, and modifies the Death Benefit of the Policy to include the Face Amount of the Rider, so that the Death Benefit equals the greater of the Death Benefit as calculated under 1) the Death Benefit Option you choose on the policy plus the Face Amount of the Rider, or 2) the Minimum Death Benefit under the Death Benefit Qualification Test you have chosen.

The guaranteed monthly cost of insurance rate and monthly Coverage charge will be shown in your Policy Specifications. Our current cost of insurance rates may be lower than the guaranteed rates.

You may request increases or decreases in Face Amount of the Rider. Each increase will be subject to satisfactory evidence of insurability and will have associated cost of insurance rates. Unless you request otherwise, the increase will become effective on the first Monthly Payment Date on or following the date we receive and approve your request. We may deduct an administrative charge not to exceed $200 from your Policy’s Accumulated Value on the effective date of any unscheduled increase. Decreases will be effective on the first Monthly Payment Date on or following the date the Written Request is received at our Life Insurance Division. Decreases will first be applied against the most recent increase, if any, and then against successively earlier increases, if any, and finally against the original ARTR-LS Face Amount.

The Rider will terminate on the earliest of your Written Request, or on lapse or termination of this Policy, or upon the Survivor’s death.

SVER Term Insurance Rider-Last Survivor (SVER-LS)

Provides additional Death Benefit protection on the Insureds in combination with the Face Amount of the Policy and may also provide higher early cash value. The Rider may be purchased at Policy issue, subject to evidence of insurability. The Rider is available for Insureds Age 18 through 90 at the time of Rider issue. You may request unscheduled increases or decreases in Face Amount of the Rider, subject to certain limitations. The Rider is payable on the death of the Survivor.

The guaranteed monthly cost of insurance rate and monthly Coverage charge will be shown in your Policy Specifications. Our current charges may be lower than our guaranteed charges.

You may request increases or decreases in Face Amount of the Rider. Each increase will be subject to satisfactory evidence of insurability and will have associated cost of insurance rates. Unless you request otherwise, the increase will become effective on the first Monthly Payment Date on or following the date we receive and approve your request. We may deduct an administrative charge not to exceed $200 from your Policy’s Accumulated Value on the effective date of any unscheduled increase. Decreases will be effective on the first Monthly Payment Date on or following the date the Written Request is received at our Life Insurance Division. Decreases will first be applied against the most recent increase, if any, and then against successively earlier increases, if any, and finally against the original SVER-LS Face Amount.

The Rider will terminate on the earliest of your Written Request, or on lapse or termination of this Policy, or upon the Survivor’s Death.

Estate Preservation Rider

This Rider provides a Death Benefit equal to the Face Amount of this Rider in the event that both Insureds under the Policy die during the first four policy years. This Rider is available on any Policy, subject to any Rider charges shown in the Policy Specifications, where both Insureds are between Ages 18 and 75 and where neither Insured has a substandard Risk Class or is uninsurable. There is a monthly charge for this Rider that will be shown on your Policy Specifications. Certain Policies issued with a rated Risk Class may also be eligible. Ask us or your life insurance producer for more information regarding eligibility for this Rider. If both Insureds die while the Rider is in effect, there is an additional death benefit paid equal to the Face Amount of the Estate Preservation Rider.

The Face Amount of this Rider is separate from the Total Face Amount of the Policy, but is based on the Face Amount of the Basic Coverage and any optional ARTR-LS or SVER-LS. The Face Amount for the Estate Preservation Rider is shown in the Policy Specifications. The Face Amount of the Estate Preservation Rider cannot be increased.

This Rider is intended solely to provide a Death Benefit in the event that both Insureds under the Policy die during the first four Policy Years, and is not guaranteed to offset any estate or other tax liability. The Face Amount of this Rider does not contribute to the Total Face Amount of the Policy. The Face Amount of this Rider does not comprise a Coverage Layer under the Policy. There is a level monthly rider charge for this Rider until the rider terminates. This charge will be added to the Monthly Deduction under the policy.

This Rider will terminate on the earliest of

 Your Written Request; or

41


 On lapse or termination of the Policy; or

 Upon the end of Policy Year four; or

 Upon the Survivor’s death.

Varying Increase Rider- Last Survivor (VIR-LS)

Policies issued with the ARTR-LS Rider may also be issued with a Varying Increase Rider – Last Survivor. The VIR-LS Rider provides for Scheduled Increases in ARTR- LS Rider Coverage without medical underwriting. Each increase in the VIR-LS Rider is referred to as a Scheduled Increase, and is scheduled for a particular Policy Anniversary, as shown in the Policy Specifications. The Face Amount contributes to the Total Face Amount, and consequently to the Death Benefit, of the Policy. There is no charge for this Rider on a current or guaranteed basis. However, you will incur charges for the ARTR- LS Rider, which you must select in order to select the VIR-LS Rider.

Each Scheduled Increase is an increase to last survivor term insurance Coverage on the Insureds provided by the ARTR- LS Rider. When any such ARTR- LS Rider Coverage goes into effect, it will become a part of, and be administered according to, the ARTR- LS Rider to which Scheduled Increase applies.

The Rider is available subject to the following:

 You must select the ARTR- LS Rider.

 The maximum Scheduled Increase at attained ages 18-79 is 20% of the Total Face Amount before the increase.

 The maximum Scheduled Increase at attained ages 80-94 is 5% of the Total Face Amount before the increase.

 Increases will not be scheduled beyond attained age 94.

 Each increase is an increase to the Coverage Layer at issue, and does not create a new Coverage Layer.

 The guaranteed cost of insurance rates and Coverage charges are provided on the Policy Specifications at issue.

 The cost of insurance charges will increase due to the increase in the Policy’s Net Amount At Risk.

You may request an increase or reduction in Scheduled Increases by providing a written request. Any increase in Scheduled Increases may be subject to evidence of insurability and is subject to our approval. If you reject a Scheduled Increase that has been approved, all future Scheduled Increases may be forfeited. For any change in Scheduled Increases, we will send you a Supplemental Schedule of Coverage to reflect the change.

This Rider is effective on the Policy Date unless otherwise stated. It will terminate on the earlier of:

 Your written request

 The date the Policy ceases to be In Force

 The date Coverage under the ARTR- LS Rider terminates.

If the Policy is reinstated, any Scheduled Increases that would have occurred during the time the Policy was lapsed will be forfeited. Scheduled Increases that are scheduled to occur after reinstatement will be handled as if the Policy had never lapsed.

Flexible Duration No-Lapse Guarantee Rider (FDNLG)

Guarantees that the Policy and any optional benefits you have selected will remain In Force for a period you have selected even if the Policy’s Net Accumulated Value is not enough to cover the Monthly Deductions due. The Net Accumulated Value equals the Accumulated Value less any Policy Debt. As long as the No-Lapse Guarantee is in effect, the Policy will not enter the Grace Period. We assess a monthly charge for this Rider.

If you elect the FDNLG Rider, it will be in effect when we issue the Policy. The Rider cannot be added after the Policy Issue Date.

You are eligible to elect the Rider if:

 The younger Insured must be less than or equal to age 80 at Policy issue.

 At initial purchase and during the entire time that you own this Rider, you must allocate 100% of your Accumulated Value among the allowable Investment Options. See the Allowable Investment Options section of the APPENDIX: FUNDS AVAILABLE UNDER THIS POLICY. You may contact us at any time for information on the allowable Investment Options.

We may add or remove allowable Investment Options at any time. Following a change, your current allocation of Accumulated Value may not comply with our revised allocation requirements for the Rider. As a result, you will be required to reallocate your Policy Accumulated Value to the revised allowable Investment Options in order to maintain the Rider benefits. We have the right to significantly reduce the number of allowable Investment Options even to a single conservative Investment Option. Our right to add or remove allowable Investment Options may limit the number of Investment Options

42


that are otherwise available to you under the Policy. Please discuss with your life insurance producer if this Policy and Rider are appropriate for you given our right to make changes to the allowable Investment Options.

We may make such a change due to a fund reorganization, fund substitution, fund liquidation, or to help protect our ability to provide the guarantees under the Rider (for example, changes in an underlying Fund’s investment objective and principal investment strategies, or changes in general market conditions). If such a change is required, we will provide you with reasonable notice (generally 90 calendar days) prior to the effective date of such change to allow you to reallocate your Accumulated Value to maintain your Rider benefits. If you do not reallocate your Accumulated Value to comply with the new Rider allocation requirements, your Rider will terminate.

We will send you written notice in the event any transaction made by you will cause the Rider to terminate for failure to invest according to the investment allocation requirements. However, you will have at least 20 calendar days starting from the date of our written notice, to instruct us to take appropriate corrective action to continue the Rider. If you take appropriate corrective action and continue the Rider, the Rider benefits and features available immediately before the terminating event will remain in effect.

Rider Terms:

Net Basic Premium – equals the Basic Premium reduced by applicable fees and charges.

Basic Fund – receives Net Basic Premium, less any withdrawals or accelerated death benefit payments.

Excess Fund – receives Net Excess Premium, less any withdrawals or accelerated death benefit payments.

Excess Premium – equals the portion of each Premium Payment received in a Policy year in excess of the Basic Premium.

Excess Premium Load - an amount equal to the Excess Premium multiplied by the Excess Premium Load rate shown in the Rider specifications.

No-Lapse Premium Load - an amount equal to the Premium Payment multiplied by the No-Lapse Premium Load rate shown in the Rider Specifications.

Optional Benefit Charges – are equal to the sum of the charges, if any, for each optional benefit attached to the Policy. The charges incurred for those optional benefits are used in the calculation to determine the No-Lapse Guarantee Value for this Rider. See the No-Lapse Deduction subsection below. This is only used to determine benefits under this Rider is not a charge deducted from the Accumulated Value.

Rider Charge Effect on Policy Values

There is a monthly charge for the FDNLG Rider. The charge is deducted from your Policy’s Accumulated Value as a Monthly Deduction. This charge does not reduce your No-Lapse Guarantee Value. The Rider Charge is shown in the Policy Specifications and equals the sum of:

 A monthly rate per dollar of Policy Net Amount at Risk (No-Lapse Monthly Charge Deduction)

 A monthly No-Lapse Guarantee Insurance Charge (Alternative No-Lapse Monthly Deduction).

Example:

Assumptions:

 Policy’s Accumulated Value is $20,000

 Policy’s Net Amount at Risk is $80,000

 The No-Lapse Monthly Charge Deduction is 0.0001

 The Alternative No-Lapse Monthly Deduction is $10

Then the Monthly Deduction associated with the FDNLG rider is $20 ($20,000 + $80,000 × 0.0001 + $10).

No Lapse Guarantee Value

The duration of the guarantee under the FDNLG rider can cover the lifetime of both Insureds. The duration of the FDNLG Rider is determined by the No Lapse Guarantee Value. The guarantee is in effect as long as the Net No-Lapse Guarantee Value (No Lapse Guarantee Value less any Policy Debt) is greater than zero.

The No-Lapse Guarantee Value is equal to the sum of the Basic Fund, the Excess Fund and the No-Lapse Guarantee Loan Account Value. The Basic Fund contains the Net Basic Premium and is credited with an Accumulation Amount based upon a 3% annual rate. The Excess Fund contains the Net Excess Premium and is credited with an Accumulation Amount based upon a 2% annual rate. The No-Lapse Guarantee Loan Account Value is equal to the Loan Account Value on your Policy.

43


Note: The No-Lapse Guarantee Value is tracked only for the purpose of determining if the No Lapse Guarantee is in effect. The value, including any Accumulation Amounts added to the No-Lapse Guarantee Value, is not added to the Policy’s Accumulated Value, and as such cannot be withdrawn or loaned against, and is not used in the determination of the Death Benefit or to any other benefit under the Policy.

The Basic and Excess Fund are an accumulation of policy premiums, withdrawals, and loans. While the Basic Fund may become negative, the Excess Fund will never be less than zero. Both the Basic Fund and the Excess Fund are increased and reduced as described below.

1. Net Basic Premiums are added to the Basic Fund; Net Excess Premiums are added to the Excess Fund

2. No Lapse Deductions reduce the Excess Fund, and then the Basic Fund

3. Accumulation Amounts are added to the Basic Fund and Excess Fund.

4. Any withdrawal of policy Accumulated Value will reduce the Excess Fund and then the Basic Fund, including any policy fees.

5. Policy Loans will reduce the Excess Fund and then the Basic Fund.

6. Any Reinvestment Risk Amounts are added to the Basic Fund.

Net Premium is allocated to the Basic Fund and Excess Fund as follows:

 Net Basic Premium is the higher of the premium up to the Annual Premium Threshold for the Policy Year, as described in the Policy Specifications, or the amount needed to bring any negative Basic Fund back to zero. This amount is reduced by the No-Lapse Premium Load and added to the Basic Fund.

 Net Excess Premium is any premium in excess of the Basic Premium. Excess Premium is reduced by the No-Lapse Premium Load and the Excess Premium Load and added to the Excess Fund.

Example:

Assumptions:

 Annual Premium Threshold for the current year is $10,000

 Premium Received is $15,000

 Basic fund is positive

 No Lapse Premium Load is 15%

 Excess Premium Load is 10%

The Net Basic Premium and Net Excess Premium are calculated as follows.

 Basic Premium is $10,000 (lesser of $10,000 and $15,000). Net Basic Premium of $8,500 [$10,000 × (1-15%)] will be added to the Basic Fund.

 Excess Premium is $5,000. Net Excess Premium of $3,750 [$5,000 × (1 – 15% - 10%)] will be added to the Excess Fund

Example:

Assumptions:

 Annual Premium Threshold for the current year is $10,000

 Premium Received is $15,000

 Basic Fund is -$11,050.

 No Lapse Premium Load is 15%

 Excess Premium Load is 10%

The Net Basic Premium and Net Excess Premium are calculated as follows.

 Basic Premium is $13,000. The Net Basic Premium is $11,050 [$13,000 × (1-15%)], which, when added to the Basic Fund, brings the Basic Fund to zero.

 Excess Premium is $2,000. Net Excess Premium of $1,500 [$2,000 × (1 – 15% - 10%)] will be added to the Excess Fund

The No-Lapse Deduction is an amount that is deducted first from the Excess Fund until the Excess Fund is reduced to zero and then from the Basic Fund. The No-Lapse Monthly Deduction is the greater of the No-Lapse Monthly Charge Deduction or the Alternative No-Lapse Monthly Deduction, as described below.

44


The No-Lapse Monthly Charge Deduction is described in the Policy Specifications and includes the following:

 The No-Lapse Coverage Charge

 The No-Lapse Administrative Charge

 Optional Benefit Charges, if any

 Transactional policy fees and charges, if any

 The No-Lapse Cost of Insurance Charge.

The Alternative No-Lapse Monthly Deduction is also described in the Rider Specifications and includes:

 Optional Benefit Charges, if any (applies to the Annual Renewable Term Rider - Last Survivor, Estate Preservation Rider, SVER Term Insurance Rider - Last Survivor, and/or Annual Renewable Term Rider - Individual as applicable)

 Transactional policy fees and charges, if any

 The Alternative No-Lapse Cost of Insurance Charge.

Example:

Assumptions:

 Basic Fund before No-Lapse Deduction is $9,000

 Excess Fund is $3,500

 No-Lapse Monthly Charge Deduction is $3,000

 Alternative No-Lapse Monthly Deduction is $4,000.

Then the Basic and Excess Funds are reduced as follows:

 The No-Lapse Deduction is $4,000 (the greater of $3,000 and $4,000)

 Excess Fund will be reduced to $0

 Basic Fund to $8,500.

The No-Lapse Accumulation Amount is an amount that is added to the Basic Fund and the Excess Fund as follows.

 The Basic Fund No-Lapse Accumulation Amount is added to the Basic Fund. It is equal to the Basic Fund following premium payments, No-Lapse Deduction, withdrawals, loans and other Policy distributions; multiplied by the No-Lapse Accumulation Factor as shown in the Policy Specifications. If your Basic Fund is negative, the accumulation will further reduce your Basic Fund. The No-Lapse Accumulation Factor is 0.002466, which is equivalent to an annual rate of 3%.

 The Excess Fund No-Lapse Accumulation Amount is added to the Excess Fund. It is equal to the Excess Fund following premium payments, No-Lapse Deduction, withdrawals, loans and other Policy distributions; multiplied by the Excess Accumulation Factor as shown in the Policy Specifications. The Excess Fund Accumulation Factor is 0.0016518, which is equivalent to an annual rate of 2%

Example:

Assumptions:

 Basic Fund is $8,500, after premiums and no-lapse deductions.

 Excess Fund is $2,500, after premiums and no-lapse deductions

 No Lapse Accumulation Factor is 0.002466

 Excess Fund Accumulation is 0.0016518

Then the Basic and Excess Funds after the Accumulation Amounts are added are:

 Basic Fund Accumulation Amount is $20.96, and the Basic Fund is $8,520.96

 Excess Fund Accumulation Amount is $4.13, and the Excess Fund is $2,504.13.

Example:

Assumptions:

 Basic Fund is $5,000, after premiums and no-lapse deductions.

 Excess Fund is $0, after premiums and no-lapse deductions

45


 No Lapse Accumulation Factor is 0.002466

 Excess Fund Accumulation is 0.0016518

Then the Basic and Excess Funds after the Accumulation Amounts are added are:

 Basic Fund Accumulation Amount is -$12.33, and the Basic Fund is -$5,012.33.

 Excess Fund Accumulation Amount is $0, and the Excess Fund is $0.

Loans have an effect on the No Lapse Guarantee Value

 Any new loan, including any loan interest that is added to the loan on an anniversary, will be added to the No-Lapse Guarantee Loan Account Value and will reduce the Excess Fund and then the Basic Fund.

 Any loan repayment will be added to the Basic Fund only to the extent that the Basic Fund is negative. Otherwise, it will be added to the Excess Fund.

Important considerations

The growth of your No-Lapse Guarantee Value depends on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the amount of premium you pay, the timing of your premium payments and any Policy changes. Any modification you make to the originally planned timing of or amount of premium paid and any Policy changes will affect the duration of the No-Lapse Guarantee provided by the Rider. Before making any change to the Policy, please request and review a current Illustration.

This Rider will terminate if an increase in Face Amount under the Policy is elected. Please work with you life insurance producer before making any requests to increase the Face Amount under the Policy.

If your Net No-Lapse Guarantee Value is equal to or less than zero, the benefits under this rider will not be in effect. However, you can restore the no-lapse guarantee benefit by making a premium payment or a loan repayment in an amount sufficient to make your Net No-Lapse Guarantee Value positive.

Some examples of things you should consider:

1. If you defer a payment, you will not receive the Accumulation Amount associated with that premium in the Basic and Excess Fund. If such a deferral would cause your No Lapse Guarantee Value to be negative, you will have to make a sufficient payment to bring the Basic Fund to positive, including any negative Accumulation Amounts.

2. If you defer payments and then try to “catch up” with a single large payment, that payment may be split into a Basic and Excess Premium based on the Annual Premium Threshold. Any premium allocated to the Excess Fund will have lower Accumulation Amounts associated with it.

3. If you take a policy loan, your Basic Fund may be reduced. A loan repayment may not recover the value deducted from the Basic Fund, but instead could be added to the Excess Fund.

4. Any withdrawal will reduce the Excess and Basic Fund. However, a subsequent premium payment will be affected both by the Annual Premium Threshold and to the Basic and Excess fund accumulation amounts, plus associated No-Lapse and Excess premium loads.

5. You have the ability to increase the duration of your FDNLG rider by paying higher premiums, subject to the Annual Premium Threshold.

The Rider will terminate on the earliest of:

 Your Written Request;

 Policy Surrender;

 Allocation into any Investment Option that is not an allowable Investment Option;

 The end of the Maximum No-Lapse Guarantee Period, as shown in the Policy Specifications; or

 The date when the Net No-Lapse Guarantee Value and the Net Accumulated Value are both less than zero, so that the Policy will enter its Grace Period. At the end of the Grace Period the Policy will terminate and no further benefits will be provided by the Rider (see YOUR POLICY’S ACCUMULATED VALUE – Lapsing and Reinstatement).

You cannot reinstate the Rider if it terminates, even if the Policy lapses and is later reinstated.

Short-Term No-Lapse Guarantee Rider

This Rider provides for the continuation of death benefit coverage for a specified guarantee period, if certain minimum premiums under the Rider are paid, even if the Policy’s Net Accumulated Value is zero. There is no additional fee for this Rider.

Rider Eligibility

46


The Rider is available at Policy issue if the older Insured is Age 79 and younger and if you choose either Death Benefit Option A or Option B when applying for your Policy.

This Rider is automatically added to the Policy if eligibility conditions are met.

Rider Terms

Net Accumulated Value – the Policy Accumulated Value less any Policy Debt.

No-Lapse Guarantee Period – the time during which we guarantee the death benefit will remain In Force as long as the guarantee under this Rider is in effect. This period begins on the Policy Date and will not re-start if insurance Coverage is added or increased. This period end date ranges from 5 to 25 years based on the older Insured’s age at Policy issue.

No-Lapse Guarantee Premium – is an annual amount used during the No-Lapse Guarantee Period to determine the No-Lapse Credit (defined in the How the Rider Works section below). The No-Lapse Credit is used to determine if the guarantee under this Rider is in effect. The No-Lapse Guarantee Premium in effect as of the Policy Date is shown in the Policy Specifications. The No-Lapse Guarantee Premium is calculated such that it covers sufficient future Monthly Deductions under the Policy. The No-Lapse Guarantee Premium may change. Any increase in Face Amount, scheduled or not, or addition or increase in insurance Coverage will cause an increase in the No-Lapse Guarantee Premium. A decrease in Face Amount or in other insurance Coverage will not cause a decrease in the No-Lapse Guarantee Premium. If the No-Lapse Guarantee Premium changes as a result of such a change, we will inform you of the amount of the changed No-Lapse Guarantee Premium.

How the Rider Works

This Rider guarantees that the Policy will continue in effect until the end of the No-Lapse Guarantee Period (which ranges from 5 to 25 years based on the older Insured’s age at Policy issue) shown in the Policy Specifications if you pay a premium by the beginning of each Policy month at least equal to one twelfth of the No-Lapse Guarantee Premium.

The Policy will also continue in effect under this Rider if flexible premium payments are made as long as the No-Lapse Credit less Policy Debt is equal to or greater than zero.

The No-Lapse Credit is used to determine if the guarantee under this Rider is in effect. It is calculated at the beginning of each Policy month during the No-Lapse Guarantee Period. The No-Lapse Credit as of the Policy Date, which is also the first Monthly Payment Date, is equal to the premium paid less one-twelfth of the No-Lapse Guarantee Premium. On any other Monthly Payment Date, the No-Lapse Credit is equal to:

 The No-Lapse Credit as of the prior Monthly Payment Date multiplied by (i), where:

– i = No greater than 1.00327374 if the No-Lapse Credit is negative; otherwise,

– i = 1.00000;

 Plus premiums received since the prior Monthly Payment Date;

 Less withdrawals taken since the prior Monthly Payment Date; and

 Less one-twelfth of the then current No-Lapse Guarantee Premium.

Example

Assumptions

 No Lapse Premium is $838.61

 No Lapse Credit on the prior Monthly Payment Date is $1,000

 Withdrawal Amount taken since prior Monthly Payment Date is $500

 Premium Payment made on the current Monthly Payment Date is $100

Since the No Lapse Credit is positive,

the No Lapse Credit is $530.12 ($1,000 * (1.00000) + $100 - $500 - $838.61/12).

End of Example

For the guarantee under this Rider to be in effect, the No-Lapse Credit less Policy Debt must be equal to or greater than zero.

If the guarantee under this Rider has become ineffective because the No-Lapse Credit less Policy Debt is less than zero, the guarantee under this Rider may be brought back into effect by paying additional premium equal to the amount of premium necessary after deduction of the Premium Load so that the No-Lapse Credit less Policy Debt is equal to or greater than zero (the “Catch-Up” premium).

47


If the guarantee under this Rider is in effect, and if your Policy would lapse in the absence of this Rider due to insufficient Net Accumulated Value (the Accumulated Value less Policy Debt), to cover the Monthly Deductions due, the Policy will not enter the Grace Period and will not lapse during the specified guaranteed period. Instead, the Policy will continue under the guarantee provided by this Rider and it will stay In Force as long as the No-Lapse Credit less Policy Debt is equal to or greater than zero.

If the Policy is continued under the guarantee provided by this Rider, then the Policy has no Net Accumulated Value from which Monthly Deductions can be collected. Any such uncollected amounts are accumulated without interest and the result is called the Monthly Deductions Deficit. Any net premium received when the Policy is continued under the guarantee provided by this Rider will first be used to reduce the Monthly Deductions Deficit. After the Monthly Deductions Deficit is reduced to zero, any excess will be applied to the Accumulated Value, as described in your Policy. If you want to keep your Policy In Force at the end of the Guarantee Period, you must make a payment sufficient to reduce the Monthly Deductions Deficit to zero. In such case, any excess will then be applied to the Accumulated Value, as described in your Policy.

Example

Assumptions:

 Policy is within No-Lapse Guarantee Period

 Policy Debt of $9,000

 Surrender charge of $1,500

 Policyholder has paid a premium at the beginning of each Policy month at least equal to one twelfth of the No-Lapse Guarantee Premium

 Upcoming Monthly deduction = $2,000

Result:

 Policy Net Accumulated Value after monthly deductions will fall below $0 to -$1,500 ($11,000 - $9,000 - $1,500 - $2,000).

 Policy does not enter the Grace Period since policyholder has paid sufficient premium to meet the minimum No-Lapse Guarantee premium requirement.

End of Example

Effect on Other Riders

If the Policy is continued under the guarantee provided by this Rider, any attached Riders will continue or end according to their respective terms.

Rider Termination

This Rider will end on the earliest of:

 Your Written Request;

 If you add any Rider after Policy issue that has charges;

 The date when the No-Lapse Credit and the Net Accumulated Value are both less than zero, unless a Catch-Up premium is made; or

 At the end of the Guarantee Period.

Rider Reinstatement

If the Policy has lapsed and you later wish to reinstate it, you will need to satisfy the reinstatement conditions described in the Policy. Upon Policy reinstatement we will bring forward any Catch-Up Amount and any Monthly Deductions Deficit, without interest. Any Catch-Up Amount existing at the time of lapse will need to be paid upon Policy reinstatement if you wish the Short-Term No Lapse Guarantee Benefit provided under this Rider to be in effect. See the YOUR POLICY’S ACCUMULATED VALUE - Lapsing and Reinstatement – Reinstating a lapsed Policy section in this prospectus.

Example

Assumptions:

 Policy is within No-Lapse Guarantee Period

 Accumulated Value of $11,000 before monthly deductions

 Policy Debt of $9,000

 Surrender charge is $1,500

48


 Policyholder has paid a premium at the beginning of each Policy month at least equal to one twelfth of the No-Lapse Guarantee Premium

 Upcoming Monthly deduction = $2,000

Result:

 Policy Net Accumulated Value after monthly deductions will fall below $0 to -$1,500 ($11,000 - $9,000 - $1,500 - $2,000).

 Policy does not enter the Grace Period since policyholder has paid sufficient premium to meet the minimum No-Lapse Guarantee premium requirement.

Conversion Rider

Allows you to convert certain Eligible Coverages into a new Policy, as shown in the Policy Specifications. Some life insurance producers may have a financial incentive to offer you a new policy in place of the one you already own. You should only convert your policy if you determine, after comparing features, fees (including surrender charges and premium loads)., and risks of both policies, that it is preferable for you to purchase a new policy rather than own the existing policy. Call (800) 347-7787 if you have any questions about this Rider. There is no additional fee for this Rider.

Rider Term:

Eligible Coverage- is Coverage under the Policy that qualifies for conversion, as shown in the Policy Specifications.

How the Rider Works:

You may request to have your new policy issued on any other permanent life insurance policy that we make available for conversions at the time of your conversion request. We will issue your new policy at the same Risk Class as this Policy. However, if you have increased your Policy’s Face Amount, resulting in your Policy having one or more Coverage Layers with Risk Classes that differ from the Risk Class for the Policy’s original Face Amount, the new policy will be issued at the Risk Class of the Policy’s most recent Coverage Layer.

If you exercise the Rider, we will not impose a surrender charge on this Policy and we will not require any evidence of insurability for the conversion. However, if you elect riders on the new policy that you do not currently have, you may have to provide evidence of insurability as needed for those riders. Working with your life insurance producer, please read the new policy prospectus for complete information prior to requesting a conversion.

If you exercise this rider, we will issue the new policy you selected and Coverage under this Policy will terminate. Surrender charges are waived on any on any amount of Accumulated Value less Policy Debt transferred from this Policy to purchase the new policy. If the new policy is a variable universal life policy, the value transferred to the new policy will not be subject to any premium load. Premium loads will apply on the new policy for additional premium added at issue or after the initial premium paid from this Policy’s Accumulated Value less Policy Debt. Any surrender charges applicable to the new policy will continue to apply under the terms of the new policy.

The Rider will terminate on the earliest of your Written Request, the death of the first Insured to die, or the date the Policy is no longer In Force.

Rider Example

This example assumes that, during Policy Year 8, the Owner elects to convert this Policy and purchase another variable universal life policy issued by us. The existing Policy has a Face Amount of $500,000, premium payments subject to a surrender charge, an Accumulated Value of $150,000, and a $20,000 loan outstanding (Policy Debt). The new policy has a premium load and offers the same or similar Risk Class as the existing Policy.

When the transfer occurs, the new policy will be issued with a Face Amount of $500,000, and the Accumulated Value less Policy Debt ($130,000; ($150,000 less $20,000)) will be transferred to the new policy. We will waive the surrender charge that would be incurred on the amount transferred from the old policy. The new policy will not assess a premium load on the amount transferred ($130,000) from the old policy and the new policy will also be issued without the owner providing evidence of insurability. Once the new policy is issued, the old policy will terminate and no longer provide any insurance coverage.

Enhanced Policy Split Option Rider (Only for Policies if your application (paper or by electronic submission) is dated on or after September 25, 2017)

Allows the Policy to be split into two individual policies, without evidence of insurability if the Policy is equally split. Any unequal split of the Policy or any request to increase the coverage for either of the new policies will require evidence of insurability. See VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE AND YOUR TAXES - Optional Policy Benefits and Riders for additional information on the tax treatment of this Rider.

Rider Terms:

49


Exchange Date – The date the original policy terminates, which will be the next monthly payment date after we receive your written request and everything is in good order. The new policies will take effect on the Exchange Date.

Exchange Event – Is when either of the following federal estate tax law changes become effective by law:

 Section 2056 of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) as amended, or its successor, is nullified or amended to eliminate or reduce the Insureds’ federal estate tax marital deduction; or

 Section 2001 of the IRC as amended, or its successor, is nullified or amended to eliminate or reduce the maximum estate tax rate to no more than half the maximum rate in effect on the issue date of the policy.

Last Exchange Policy Year – The last Policy year during which you can request to exchange the Policy for two new single life policies. This Rider provides no benefit after this year or after it is terminated.

The Last Exchange Policy Year is equal to:

 Policy Year 3 if one of the Insureds’ issue age is from 70 to 79 and the other Insureds’ issue age is 79 or less, or

 Policy Year 5 if both Insureds’ issue ages are under 70.

How the Rider Works

This Rider will be included automatically with all policies where the older Insured is issue Age 79 or less, and where neither Insured has a substandard Risk Class or is uninsurable. There is no charge for this Rider.

You may request an exercise of this Rider beginning on the date of a qualifying Exchange Event that occurs before the end of the Last Exchange Policy Year.

You will have 365 days following such an Exchange Event to request the Exercise of this Rider.

The following requirements and conditions must be met to exercise this Rider:

 Both Policy insureds are living,

 The Policy cannot be in a grace period,

 The Insureds under the Policy cannot have a substandard Risk Class,

 If Policy Debt exceeds the Accumulated Value, you must repay the amount of the Policy Debt in excess of the Accumulated Value, and

 You must make the request to exercise this Rider in writing.

A federal estate tax law change could result in an increase in the federal estate tax liability at the first death of the two Insureds under the Policy.

The exchange may be made to any single life policy that we make available. We waive the surrender charge on your original Policy, but any surrender charges applicable to each of the new policies will apply.   If the new policies are variable universal life policies, we will waive the premium load on any amount of Cash Surrender Value transferred from this Policy to purchase the new policies. Any premium load will apply on the new policies for additional premium added at issue or after the initial premium paid from this Policy’s Cash Surrender Value.

The face amount of each new policy will be an amount up to one-half of the Policy’s Face Amount in excess of the Policy Debt on the Exchange Date. Any request to increase the amount of face amount on either new policy so that there is an unequal split of the Policy’s Face Amount less Policy Debt will require evidence of insurability satisfactory to us.  At the time of exchange, if the face amount on either of the new single life policies is less than the minimum allowed face amount for that product, we will issue that policy with the minimum allowable face amount for that product.

The Accumulated Value of the Policy will be equally split between the two new single life policies. Any Policy Debt must be paid off prior to the exchange. If there is sufficient Accumulated Value to cover the Policy Debt, the Accumulated Value will be reduced by the Policy Debt and the remaining Accumulated Value will be equally split between the two new single life policies. If the Policy Debt exceeds the Accumulated Value, the amount of the Policy Debt in excess of the Accumulated Value must be repaid prior to the policy exchange.

This Rider is effective on the Policy Date unless otherwise stated. It will terminate on the earlier of:

 Your written request,

 The date of the first death of the two Insureds,

 On lapse or termination of the Policy,

 Upon exercise of this Rider, or

50


 The end of the Last Exchange Policy Year.

If an Exchange Event occurs prior to or during the Last Exchange Policy Year, then you may provide us Written Request of an exchange no more than 365 days after the Exchange Event. We will process such request as if the Rider had not terminated even if we do not receive your Written Request until after the end of the Last Exchange Policy Year.

Example

This example assumes that the Insureds were under age 70 when the Policy was issued. During Policy Year 4 an Exchange Event occurred and the Joint Owners elect to split this Policy and purchase two new variable universal life policies issued by us. The Joint Owners elect that the current Policy be split 50% to each new policy so no evidence of insurability on each Insured is required. The existing Policy has a Face Amount of $500,000 and Accumulated Value of $160,000. The new policies have a premium load and offer the same or similar Risk Class as the existing Policy.

When the transfer occurs, the new policies will have a Face Amount of $250,000 ($500,000 x 50% = $250,000), and an Accumulated Value of $80,000 ($160,000 x 50% = $80,000). The new policies will not assess a premium load on the amount transferred to each policy from the old policy. Once the new policies are issued, the old policy will terminate and no longer provide any insurance coverage.

Enhanced Policy Split Option Rider (Only for Policies if your application (paper or by electronic submission) is dated before September 25, 2017)

Allows the Policy to be split into two individual policies, without evidence of insurability. This Rider is available only to married couples. This Rider will be included automatically with all Policies where the older Insured is issue Age 79 or less, and where neither Insured has a substandard Risk Class or is uninsurable.

You may exercise this option within 90 days after the day that the Federal Unlimited Marital Deduction is actually reduced, as a result of the enactment of a new federal estate tax law, which because of the reduction, could result in an increase in the federal estate tax liability at the first death of the two Insureds under the Policy.

The exchange may be made to any single life policy that we regularly issue at the time of exchange, subject to our approval. We waive the surrender charge on your original Policy, but any surrender charges applicable to the new policy will apply to the new policies. If the new policies are variable universal life policies, we will waive the premium load on any amount of Cash Surrender Value transferred from this Policy to purchase the new policies. Any premium load will apply on the new policies for additional premium added at issue or after the initial premium paid from this Policy’s Cash Surrender Value.

The face amount of each new policy may be for any amount you choose, up to one half of the Policy’s Face Amount, including the Face Amount under any ARTR-LS or SVER-LS attached to the Policy, both as of the date of the exchange. You must give your written consent if the face amounts of the two new policies are not equal. The original Policy’s Cash Surrender Value will be allocated as premiums to the two new policies in proportion to the face amount of the new policies. We will waive any Policy charge normally charged to cover our expenses arising from any state or federal tax charged to us due to the exchange. Policy Debt will also be split in proportion to the face amount of the new policies.

The Rider will terminate on the earliest of your Written Request, the date of the first death of the two Insureds, on lapse or termination of the Policy, when the older of the two Insureds reaches Age 80, or upon exercise of this Rider.

Example

This example assumes that the Insureds were under age 70 when the Policy was issued. During Policy Year 4 an Exchange Event occurred and the Joint Owners elect to split this Policy and purchase two new variable universal life policies issued by us. The Joint Owners elect that the current Policy be split 50% to each new policy so no evidence of insurability on each Insured is required. The existing Policy has a Face Amount of $500,000 and Accumulated Value of $160,000. The new policies have a premium load and offer the same or similar Risk Class as the existing Policy.

When the transfer occurs, the new policies will have a Face Amount of $250,000 ($500,000 x 50% = $250,000), and an Accumulated Value of $80,000 ($160,000 x 50% = $80,000). The new policies will not assess a premium load on the amount transferred to each policy from the old policy. Once the new policies are issued, the old policy will terminate and no longer provide any insurance coverage.

Policy Split Option Rider

Allows the Policy to be split into two individual policies subject to satisfactory evidence of insurability on each Insured. The exchange may be made to any individual flexible premium adjustable life insurance policy that we regularly issue at the time of exchange, subject to our approval. A $200 administrative fee may be deducted from the original Policy’s Accumulated Value on the effective date of the exchange. Although not anticipated, we reserve the right to charge for any state or federal taxes incurred upon exercise of this Rider.

The original Policy’s Accumulated Value, Policy Debt and Cash Surrender Value are split in proportion to the Face Amount. We waive the surrender charge on your original Policy. If the new policies are variable universal life policies, we will waive the premium

51


load on any amount transferred from this Policy to purchase the new policies. Any premium load will apply on the new policies for additional premium added at issue or after the initial premium paid from this Policy.

The Rider will terminate on the date of the first death of the two Insureds, on lapse or termination of the Policy, or upon exercise of this Rider.

Example

This example assumes that, during Policy Year 10, the Owner elects to split this Policy and purchase two new variable universal life policies issued by us. Satisfactory evidence of insurability on each Insured was submitted. The existing Policy has a Face Amount of $500,000 and Accumulated Value of $160,000. The new policy has a premium load and offers the same or similar Risk Class as the existing Policy. The Insureds elected that the current Policy be split 50% to each new policy.

When the transfer occurs, the new policies will have a Face Amount of $250,000 ($500,000 x 50% = $250,000), and an Accumulated Value of $80,000 ($160,000 x 50% = $80,000). The new policies will not assess a premium load on the amount transferred to each policy from the old policy. Once the new policy is issued, the old policy will terminate and no longer provide any insurance coverage.

Premier Living Benefits Rider-Last Survivor

The Premier Living Benefits Rider-Last Survivor is a chronic illness Rider that provides protection from the financial impacts of becoming chronically ill by providing acceleration of a portion of the Death Benefit in the event that you become chronically ill. For more information, please see Appendix: State Law Variations.

There is no additional cost for the rider. However, if you choose to exercise the Rider, at the time we pay the Rider Benefit, we will reduce your Policy’s Death Benefit by an amount greater than the Benefit payment itself, as described in the Rider. Other Policy values, including but not limited to, Surrender Charge, Accumulated Value and Total Face Amount will be reduced pro rata.

You may opt out of the Rider at any time after the Policy is issued. There is no charge for opting out of the Rider.

Eligibility Conditions

This Rider may be attached to only one policy per insured. If you or the additional Insured has existing Pacific Life Policies with a chronic illness rider, you may choose to either:

52


1. Terminate the chronic illness rider on your existing policy, and obtain a new chronic illness rider with a newly-issued policy, if you qualify; or

2. Maintain the chronic illness rider on your existing policy, and accept any applied for life insurance, if issued, without the chronic illness rider.

You should not terminate any existing Pacific Life chronic illness rider until the new application with a chronic illness rider has been approved by Pacific Life. If an insured’s chronic illness has generated benefits under any existing Pacific Life policy, that insured does not qualify for a new chronic illness rider. Please understand that chronic illness benefits may be higher or lower based upon the policy to which it is attached. Request sample illustrations from your life insurance producer to help determine the policy configuration is appropriate for you.

To receive the Rider Benefit, you must satisfy the following conditions:

 You must submit a Written Request while the Policy is In Force; we will provide you with a claim form within 15 days of your Written Request. Your completed claim form must contain proof that the Insured is a Chronically Ill Individual;

 Any assignee or any irrevocable Beneficiary under the Policy must provide written consent;

 The Chronically Ill Individual must be an Eligible Survivor under the Rider;

 The Chronically Ill Individual’s illness must not be the result of attempted suicide or intentionally self-inflicted injury;

 Your Policy will only be eligible for the Rider Benefit after the death of the first Insured and only if the survivor is an eligible Insured and meets the conditions described in the Rider. Eligible Insureds are stated in your Policy Specifications.

We will pay the Benefits immediately after we receive written certification from a Licensed Health Care Practitioner that the Eligible Survivor is a Chronically Ill Individual and meets the conditions described in the Rider. We reserve the right to obtain an additional opinion of the Eligible Survivor’s conditions at our expense. If this opinion differs from that of the Survivor’s Licensed Health Care Practitioner, eligibility for Benefits will be determined by a third Licensed Physician who is mutually acceptable to you and to us.

We pay the Benefits to the Eligible Survivor (or your designee) or to your estate while the Insured is still living, unless the Policy has been otherwise assigned.

The Rider at Exercise

You may request the Rider Benefits once per twelve-month period. Your Written Request should include:

 The Benefit amount requested; and

 Your selection of an annual payment or monthly payments. If your request does not specify a payment option, we will pay the Benefit as an annual payment.

If you elect to receive an annual payment, we will provide you with one lump-sum payment. Your request for an annual payment cannot be less than $5,000, and can never be greater than the Maximum Annual Benefit Amount. The Maximum Annual Benefit Amount is the lesser of:

 The Annual Per Diem Limitation; or

 The Reduction Factor times the Eligible Accelerated Annual Death Benefit. The Reduction Factor is equal to [a + b] ÷ c where

(a) Is 100% of the Policy’s Cash Surrender Value;

(b) Is the Chronic Illness Risk Factor times the result of the Death Benefit minus the greater of zero or the Policy’s Accumulated Value; and

(c) Is the Death Benefit.

The Eligible Accelerated Annual Death Benefit is the lesser of:

 24% of the Initial Eligible Amount; or

 The excess of the Maximum Lifetime Accelerated Death Benefit over the Total Accelerated Death Benefit; or

 The Death Benefit.

The Chronic Illness Risk Factor is based on the Insured’s Age, sex and Risk Class, as well as the Accelerated Death Benefit Interest Rate and a mortality table for disabled lives we declare.

The Accelerated Death Benefit Interest Rate will not exceed the greater of:

 The current yield on the 90-day Treasury bill; or

 The maximum fixed annual rate of 8% in arrears or a variable rate determined in accordance with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners Policy Loan Interest Rate Model.

53


When you exercise the Rider, we will send you a statement demonstrating the effect of exercising the Rider on the Policy’s Accumulated Value, Death Benefit, Premium, Cost of Insurance Charges and Policy Loans.

At the time of each Benefit payment, we will:

 Verify that the Policy is not in the Grace Period. If it is in the Grace Period, we will reduce the Benefit payment by the amount needed to pay any Monthly Deduction required to keep the Policy In Force;

 Limit the Benefit to the Maximum Annual or Maximum Monthly Benefit Amount, as applicable;

 Calculate the amount payable upon request under this Rider (the “Chronic Illness Benefit Proceeds”);

 Reduce the Policy and Rider values as described in the Rider; and

 Send you an endorsement to the Policy, which will include a statement of the effect of the Benefit payment on the Policy’s Accumulated Value, Death Benefit, Premium, Cost of Insurance Charges and Policy Loans.

If your Policy has an accidental death rider, the accidental Death Benefit amount is not eligible for acceleration under this Rider.

Your Policy After Exercising the Rider

When you exercise the Rider and we make a Benefit payment, the following values will be reduced by an amount equal to the value below multiplied by the Acceleration Percentage:

 The Total Face Amount;

 The Accumulated Value;

 The surrender charge for each Coverage Layer;

 For Policies with Death Benefit Option C, the sum of the premiums less withdrawals; and

 For Policies with Death Benefit Option C, the Option C Death Benefit Limit.

The Acceleration Percentage equals (a ÷ b) where:

a = The Chronic Illness Benefit; and

b = The Reduction Factor multiplied by the Death Benefit on the date of each benefit payment.

Your Policy’s Total Face Amount will be reduced by an amount equal to the Acceleration Percentage multiplied by the Total Face Amount prior to the benefit payment. The Face Amount of each Coverage Layer of the Policy will be reduced according to the terms of the Policy and Rider.

The Policy’s Investment Options values are reduced on the date of each benefit payment by an amount equal to the Acceleration Percentage multiplied by the Investment Option values prior to the benefit payment. The reduction to the values in each of the Investment Options will be treated as an Account Deduction.

We will reduce your Policy Debt, Loan Account and Loan Account Value on the date of a Benefit payment by an amount equal to their respective values prior to the Benefit payment multiplied by the Acceleration Percentage.

Your Policy’s Cost of Insurance charges will be calculated according to the terms of the Policy, but will be based on the reduced Policy values following a Benefit payment.

Your Policy’s Alternate Accumulated Value, if any, will be reduced by an amount equal to the Acceleration Percentage multiplied by the Alternate Accumulated Value prior to a Benefit payment.

Your Policy’s Cash Surrender Value and Net Cash Surrender Value following a Benefit payment will be calculated according to the terms of the Policy.

Other Effects on the Policy

After we make the initial Benefit payment under the Rider:

 You can change your Death Benefit Option, but only to Death Benefit Option A;

 We will not allow any requested increases in benefits under the Policy or any Riders; and

 We will discontinue the Automated Income Option or any other systematic distribution program in effect.

The Riders After Exercising the Premier Living Benefits Rider-Last Survivor

Generally, optional rider benefits under the Policy will remain In Force subject to their terms and conditions, unless otherwise stated. We will calculate charges for optional riders in accordance with the terms of each applicable rider. The charges may be affected by the reduction in benefits and policy values. In addition:

54


 If your Policy has the Short-Term No-Lapse Guarantee Rider, the no-lapse guarantee premium and the no-lapse credit will each be reduced on the date of each benefit payment;

 For any no-lapse guarantee Rider using no-lapse guarantee value, the no-lapse guarantee value will be reduced on the date of each benefit payment;

 For policies with any minimum earnings benefit riders, Alternate Accumulated Value will be reduced by an amount equal to the Alternate Accumulated Value prior to the Benefit payment multiplied by the Acceleration Percentage;

 For policies with an Indexed Fixed Option, the sum of the Policy’s Fixed, Variable and Indexed Accumulated Values will be reduced on the date of the claim for Benefits.

Accelerated Death Benefits may affect your eligibility for, or amount of, other benefits provided by federal, state or local government. Payments of Accelerated Death Benefits provided by the Rider are intended to qualify as Death Benefits under section 101(g) of the Tax Code. You should consult with your personal tax advisor before requesting any accelerated Death Benefit payments.

The Rider is effective on the Policy Date unless otherwise stated. It will terminate on the earlier of:

 Your Written Request;

 Acceleration of any part of the Policy’s Death Benefit because of the Insured’s terminal illness;

 When you have accelerated the maximum amount of Death Benefit that can be accelerated under the Rider, as shown in the Policy Specifications;

 When the Policy terminates; or

 When you notify us of the Insured’s death.

If your Policy lapses and is reinstated, you may reinstate the Rider.

Payment of an Accelerated Death Benefit under this rider will reduce the Policy’s Death Benefit and other values under the Policy. In most circumstances, the cost of insurance charges will also be reduced. In addition, premium limitations and Death Benefits required in order for the Policy to qualify as a life insurance policy or avoid being classified as a Modified Endowment Contract under the Tax Code will also be affected. See the VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE AND YOUR TAXES- Modified Endowment Contracts and HOW PREMIUMS WORK-Limits on the Premium Payments You Can Make section for more information on the relation of the Policy’s Death Benefit to premium payments and Modified Endowment Contract status.

Terminal Illness Rider-Last Survivor

The Terminal Illness Rider-Last Survivor provides protection from the financial impacts of having a medical condition that is reasonably expected to result in a life expectancy of 12 months or less by providing acceleration of a portion of the Death Benefit.

There is no additional cost for the rider. However, if you choose to exercise the Rider, at the time we pay the Rider Benefit, we will reduce your Policy’s Death Benefit by an amount greater than the Benefit payment itself, as described in the Rider. Other Policy values, including but not limited to, Surrender Charge, Accumulated Value and Total Face Amount will be reduced pro rata.

You may opt out of the Rider at any time after the Policy is issued. There is no charge for opting out of the Rider.

Rider Terms

Eligible Coverage – the portion of the Policy Face Amount that will qualify for determining the Terminal Illness Benefit under the Terminal Illness Rider-Last Survivor. Your Policy’s Eligible Coverage is listed in the Policy Specifications under the Terminal Illness Rider-Last Survivor. It does not include any insurance on the life of anyone other than the Insured and any other rider on the Insured.

Licensed Physician – a physician licensed and residing in the United States. The Licensed Physician cannot be you or an immediate family member.

Terminally Ill Individual – Survivor Insured who has been certified in writing as having a medical condition that is reasonably expected to result in a life expectancy of 12 months or less.

Eligibility Conditions

To receive the Rider Benefits, you must satisfy the following conditions:

 You must submit a Written Request while the Policy is In Force; we will provide you with a claim form within 15 days of your Written Request. Your completed claim form must contain proof that the Insured is a Terminally Ill Individual;

 Any assignee or any irrevocable Beneficiary under the Policy must provide written consent;

 The Terminally Ill Individual’s illness must not be the result of attempted suicide or intentionally self-inflicted injury;

55


 If your Policy is a last survivor policy, it will only be eligible for a Terminal Illness Benefit after the death of the first Insured and only if the survivor is a Terminally Ill Individual.

The Terminal Illness Benefit will be payable when we receive written certification from a Licensed Physician that the Survivor is a Terminally Ill Individual and meets the conditions described in the Rider. We reserve the right to obtain an additional opinion of the Survivor’s conditions at our expense. If this opinion differs from that of the Survivor’s Licensed Physician, eligibility for Benefits will be determined by a third Licensed Physician who is mutually acceptable to you and to us.

The Terminal Illness Benefit will not be payable if the law requires the Benefit to meet creditor claims or a government agency requires the Benefit for application or maintenance of a government benefit or entitlement.

The Premier Living Benefits Rider-Last Survivor will terminate when we receive a Written Request for the Terminal Illness Benefit under this Rider.

If your Policy has an accidental Death Benefit rider, the accidental Death Benefit amount is not eligible for acceleration under the terms of this Rider.

The Rider at Exercise

You may submit your Written Request for benefits under the Rider, including the amount of Terminal Illness Benefit requested, when the Insured qualifies as a Terminally Ill Individual and meets the eligibility conditions.

When we make the benefit payment we will:

 Limit the benefit to the lesser of 75% of the Eligible Coverage or $250,000;

 Calculate the Terminal Illness Benefit Proceeds, as described below; and

 Reduce Policy and Rider values.

Calculating the Benefit Under the Rider

The Terminal Illness Benefit Proceeds is the amount payable under the Rider. It is a one-time payment equal to the Terminal Illness Benefit multiplied by (a) and reduced by (b) and (c) where:

(a) The Terminal Illness Reduction Factor;

(b) Policy Debt multiplied by the Acceleration Percentage; and

(c) A processing charge, guaranteed not to exceed $100.

If the Insured dies within 30 days of payment of the Terminal Illness Benefit Proceeds, we will refund the amounts defined in (a) and (c) above.

The Terminal Illness Reduction Factor is equal to (a) ÷ (b) where:

(a) Equals 1; and

(b) Equals 1 plus the Accelerated Death Benefit Interest Rate.

The Accelerated Death Benefit Interest Rate will not exceed the greater of:

 The current yield on the 90-day Treasury Bill; or

 The maximum fixed annual rate of 8% in arrears or a variable rate determined in accordance with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners Policy Loan Interest Rate Model.

We pay the Terminal Illness Benefit as a lump sum. It is guaranteed never to be less than $500 or 25% of your Policy’s Face Amount. We will pay the Terminal Illness Proceeds once per Policy.

If you send us Written Notice that the Insured has died before we have paid the Terminal Illness Benefit, we will not make the payment. However, if we pay the Terminal Illness Benefit before we receive Written Notice of the Insured’s death, the payment will be effective and we will reduce the Death Benefit Proceeds payable under the Policy.

We pay the Benefits to you (or your designee) or to your estate while the Insured is still living, unless the Policy has been otherwise assigned.

When you exercise the Rider, we will send you a statement demonstrating the effect of exercising the Rider on the Policy’s Accumulated Value, Death Benefit, Premium, Cost of Insurance Charges and Policy Loans.

At the time of each Benefit payment, we will:

 Calculate the amount payable upon request under this Rider (the “Terminal Illness Benefit Proceeds”);

 Reduce the Policy and Rider values as described in the Rider; and

56


 Send you an endorsement to the Policy, which will include a statement of the effect of the Benefit payment on the Policy’s Accumulated Value, Death Benefit, Premium, cost of insurance Charges and Policy Loans.

If your Policy has an accidental death rider, the accidental Death Benefit amount is not eligible for acceleration under the Rider.

If you request another transaction on the same day as a Terminal Illness Benefit is paid, we will process the Terminal Illness Benefit Proceeds after we have processed the other requested transactions.

Your Policy After Exercising the Rider

When you exercise the Rider and we make a Benefit payment, Policy values will be reduced by an amount equal to the value below multiplied by the Acceleration Percentage:

 The Total Face Amount;

 The Accumulated Value;

 For Policies with Death Benefit Option C, the sum of the premiums less withdrawals; and

 For Policies with Death Benefit Option C, the Option C Death Benefit Limit.

The Acceleration Percentage equals (a ÷ b) where:

a = The Terminal Illness Benefit; and

b = The Eligible Coverage on the date of each Benefit payment.

Your Policy’s Total Face Amount will be reduced by an amount equal to the Acceleration Percentage multiplied by the Total Face Amount prior to the benefit payment. The Face Amount of each Coverage Layer of the Policy be reduced according to the terms of the Policy and Rider.

The Policy’s Death Benefit and Accumulated Value will continue to be calculated in accordance with the terms of the Policy.

The Policy’s Investment Options values are reduced on the date of each benefit payment by an amount equal to the Acceleration Percentage multiplied by the Investment Option values prior to the benefit payment. The reduction to the values in each of the Investment Options will be treated as an Account Deduction.

We will reduce your Policy Debt, Loan Account and Loan Account Value on the date of a Benefit payment by an amount equal to their respective values prior to the Benefit payment multiplied by the Acceleration Percentage.

Your Policy’s Cost of Insurance charges will be calculated according to the terms of the Policy, but will be based on the reduced Policy values following the Benefit payment.

Your Policy’s Cash Surrender Value and Net Cash Surrender Value following the Benefit payment will be calculated according to the terms of the Policy.

The Riders After Exercising the Terminal Illness Rider-Last Survivor

Generally, optional rider benefits under the Policy will remain In Force subject to their terms and conditions, unless otherwise stated. We will calculate charges for optional riders in accordance with the terms of each applicable rider. The charges may be affected by the reduction in benefits and policy values. In addition:

 If your Policy has the Short-Term No-Lapse Guarantee Rider, the no-lapse premium and no-lapse credit will each be reduced on the date of each Benefit payment;

 For any no-lapse guarantee rider using no-lapse guarantee value, the no-lapse guarantee value will be reduced on the date of each Benefit payment;

 For policies with any minimum earnings benefit riders, Alternate Accumulated Value will be reduced by an amount equal to the Alternate Accumulated Value prior to the benefit payment multiplied by the Acceleration Percentage.

Terminal Illness Benefit Accelerated Death Benefits may affect your eligibility for, or amount of, other benefits provided by federal, state or local government. Payments of Accelerated Death Benefits provided by the Rider are intended to qualify as Death Benefits under section 101(g) of the Tax Code.

You should consult with your personal tax advisor before requesting any accelerated Death Benefit payments.

The Rider is effective on the Policy Date unless otherwise stated. It will terminate on the earlier of:

 Your Written Request;

 The date the Benefit under the Rider are paid;

 When the Policy terminates; or

57


 When you notify us of Insured’s death.

If your Policy lapses and is reinstated, you may reinstate the Rider.

Payment of an Accelerated Death Benefit under this rider will reduce the Policy’s Death Benefit and other values under the Policy. In most circumstances, the cost of insurance charges will also be reduced. In addition, premium limitations and Death Benefits required in order for the Policy to qualify as a life insurance policy or avoid being classified as a Modified Endowment Contract under the Tax Code will also be affected. See the VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE AND YOUR TAXES- Modified Endowment Contracts and HOW PREMIUMS WORK-Limits on the Premium Payments You Can Make section for more information on the relation of the Policy’s Death Benefit to premium payments and Modified Endowment Contract status.

Things to Keep in Mind

Other Variable Life Insurance Policies

We offer other variable life insurance policies which provide insurance protection on the life of one person or the lives of two people. The loads and charges on these policies may be different. Combining a Policy and a Rider, however, may be more economical than adding another Policy. It may also be more economical to provide an amount of insurance Coverage through a Policy alone. Many life insurance policies have some flexibility in structuring the amount of insurance protection, the amount that is payable upon death, and premium payments in targeting the cash values based on your particular needs.

Depending on the Ages and Risk Classes of the Insureds, in some cases, the ARTR-LS and SVER-LS Riders may have lower charges than simply purchasing the Face Amount on a Policy alone. In some cases, the charges may be higher. Some charges are higher in the early years of the policy and/or rider, and some reduce with policy and/or rider duration.

Accelerated death benefit payments received for a chronic illness may be taxable in certain situations, such as when benefit payments are made from multiple policies or when benefit amounts exceed certain IRS limitations (referred to as “per diem” limitations). Pacific Life cannot determine the taxability of benefit payments. Tax treatment of long-term care benefits is complex, and will depend on the amount of benefits taken, the amount of qualified expenses incurred and possibly other factors. Receipt of accelerated death benefits may affect eligibility for public assistance programs such as Medicaid. Consult your qualified and independent legal and tax advisors about the tax implications of these benefits.

This Policy

In general, your Policy Coverage offers the advantage of lower overall guaranteed charges than the added Riders. If you add a Rider or Riders to your Policy, and if we apply maximum guaranteed charges, you may increase your risk of lapse even if all planned premiums are paid. Adding a Rider or Riders may also affect the amount of premium you can pay on your Policy and still have it qualify as life insurance.

Combining a Policy with a ARTR-LS may lower costs and may improve Accumulated Value accrual for the same amount of Death Benefit. However, your Policy has guaranteed maximum charges. Adding a ARTR-LS will result in guaranteed maximum charges that are higher than for a single Policy with the same Face Amount.

Combining a Policy with a SVER-LS may improve Accumulated Value accrual in the early years of your Policy, but could result in either higher or lower charges than under a single Policy. The timing of certain charges for Policies held for certain periods may also be affected.

Ultimately, individual needs and objectives vary, and they may change through time. It is important that you consider your goals and options carefully. You should discuss your insurance needs and financial objectives with your life insurance producer before purchasing any life insurance product or purchasing additional insurance benefits. You should also consider a periodic review of your Coverage with your life insurance producer.

HOW PREMIUMS WORK

Your Policy gives you the flexibility to choose the amount and frequency of your premium payments within certain limits. Each premium payment must be at least $50.

The amount, frequency, and period of time over which you make premium payments may affect whether your Policy will be classified as a Modified Endowment Contract, or no longer qualifies as life insurance for tax purposes. See the VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE AND YOUR TAXES section in this prospectus for more information.

We deduct a premium load from each premium payment, and then allocate your Net Premium to the Investment Options you have chosen. However, if you have chosen the Indexed Fixed Options, your Net Premium will first be allocated to the Fixed Account and transferred from the Fixed Account to the Indexed Fixed Options on the Segment Start Date. The Accumulated Value transferred from the Fixed Account to the Indexed Fixed Options may be less than the Net Premium or the Accumulated Value you transferred to the Fixed Account because there may have been deductions from the Fixed Account, such as those due to Monthly Deductions, withdrawals or Policy loans.

There is other information you should know about allocating all or part of a Net Premium to the Indexed Fixed Options. You can only allocate a Net Premium to the Indexed Fixed Options if your Policy is not in a Lockout Period. In addition, you must notify us of your allocation to the Indexed Fixed Options by the Cutoff Date (two Business Days before a Segment Start Date) of a particular Segment Start Date in order for Accumulated Value to be transferred from the Fixed Account to the Indexed Fixed Options on that Segment Start Date. See the YOUR INVESTMENT OPTIONS – Indexed Fixed Options section in this prospectus. Otherwise, your Accumulated Value will not be transferred to the Indexed Fixed Options on the Segment Start Date.

We do not count the allocation from the Fixed Account to the Indexed Fixed Options towards the number of transfers you may make in a Policy Year. In addition, we do not count such transfer towards the number of transfers you may make in a Policy Year without a transfer fee.

Your Initial Premium

We apply your first premium payment to the Policy on the later of the day we receive it or the day we receive all contractual and administrative requirements necessary for your Policy to be In Force. See the HOW PREMIUMS WORK – Allocating Your Premiums section in this prospectus for more information on when your first Net Premium is allocated to the Investment Options.

If you have outstanding contractual and administrative requirements, your financial professional will notify you of a delivery date when any outstanding requirements are due to us, not to exceed 45 days from the date we issue your Policy. If we do not receive your first premium payment and all contractual and administrative requirements on or before the delivery date, we can cancel the Policy and refund any premium payment you have made. We may extend the delivery date in some cases.

Planned Periodic Premium Payments

You can schedule the amount and frequency of your premium payments. We refer to scheduled premium payments as your planned periodic premium. Here’s how it works:

 You indicate whether you want to make premium payments annually, semi-annually, or quarterly. You can also choose monthly payments using our monthly Electronic Funds Transfer Plan, which is described below.

 We send you a notice to remind you of your scheduled premium payment (except for monthly Electronic Funds Transfer Plan payments, which are paid automatically). If you own more than one Policy, you can request us to send one notice – called a list bill – that reminds you of your payments for all of your Policies. We require at least three participants for a list bill. You can choose to receive the list bill every month.

 If you have any Policy Debt, we will treat any payment you make during the life of your Policy as a loan repayment, not as a premium payment, unless you tell us otherwise in writing. When a payment, or any portion of it, exceeds your Policy Debt, we will treat it as a premium payment.

You do not have to make the premium payments you have scheduled. However, not making a premium payment may have an impact on any financial objectives you may have set for your Policy’s Accumulated Value and Death Benefit, and could cause your Policy to lapse. Even if you pay all your premiums when they’re scheduled, your Policy could lapse if the Accumulated Value, less any Policy Debt, is not enough to pay your monthly charges. See the YOUR POLICY’S ACCUMULATED VALUE section in this prospectus for more information.

Paying Your Premium

Premium payments must be made in a form acceptable to us before we can process it. You may pay your premium:

 By personal check, drawn on a U.S. bank;

 By cashier’s check, if it originates in a U.S. bank;

 By money order in a single denomination of more than $10,000 for in force payments, if it originates in a U.S. bank;

59


 By third party payments, when there is a clear relationship between the payor (individual, corporation, trust, etc.) and the Insured(s) and/or Owner;

 By temporary check with the ABA routing number and account number pre-printed on the check;

 Wire transfers that originate in U.S. banks.

We will not accept premium payments in the following forms:

 Cash;

 Credit card or check drawn against a credit card account;

 Traveler’s checks;

 Cashier’s check or money order drawn on a non-U.S. bank, even if the payment may be effected through a U.S. bank;

 Money order in a single denomination of $10,000 or less;

 Third party payments, if there is not a clear relationship between the payor (individual, corporation, trust, etc.) and the Insured(s) and/or Owner;

 Wire transfers that originate from foreign bank accounts.

If your Policy is subject to the Minimum Death Benefit, and you want to pay a premium that increases the Net Amount At Risk, you will need to provide us with satisfactory evidence of insurability before we can increase the Death Benefit regardless of which Death Benefit Option you have selected. In this event, your cost of insurance charges will also increase. Cost of insurance charges are based, among other things, upon your Policy’s Net Amount At Risk. For more information, see the YOUR POLICY’S ACCUMULATED VALUE section in this prospectus on how cost of insurance charges are calculated.

All unacceptable forms of premium payments will be returned to the payor along with a letter of explanation. We reserve the right to reject or accept any form of payment. If you make premium payments or loan repayments by Electronic Funds Transfer or by check other than a cashier’s check, your payment of any withdrawal proceeds and any refund during the free look period may be delayed until we receive confirmation in our administrative office that your payment has cleared.

Monthly Electronic Funds Transfer Plan

You can make monthly premium payments or loan payments using our Electronic Funds Transfer Plan. Here’s how it works:

 You authorize us to withdraw a specified amount from your checking account, savings account or money market account each month.

 If you do not specify a day for us to make the withdrawal, we will withdraw the payment on your Policy’s monthly anniversary.

 If you make monthly payments by the Electronic Funds Transfer Plan, we will apply the payments as loan repayment unless you have requested that payments be applied as premium payments. Loan payments made by the Electronic Funds Transfer Plan must be at least $50.

Deductions From Your Premiums

We deduct a maximum premium load of 5.15% from each premium payment you make.

This charge helps pay for the cost of distributing our Policies, and is also used to pay state and local premium taxes, any other taxes that may be imposed, and to compensate us for certain costs or lost investment opportunities resulting from our amortization and delayed recognition of certain policy acquisition expenses for federal income tax purposes. These consequences are referred to as the deferred acquisition cost (“DAC tax”).

Like other Policy charges, we may profit from the premium load and may use these profits for any lawful purpose, such as the payment of distribution and administrative expenses. We will notify you in advance if we change our current load rate.

Limits on the Premium Payments You Can Make

We will not accept premium payments after your Policy’s Monthly Deduction End Date.

Federal tax law puts limits on the amount of premium payments you can make in relation to your Policy’s Death Benefit. These limits apply in the following situations:

 If you have chosen the Guideline Premium Test as your Death Benefit Qualification Test and accepting the premium means your Policy will no longer qualify as life insurance federal income tax purposes.

 If applying the premium in that Policy Year means your Policy will become a Modified Endowment Contract. You may direct us to accept premium payments or other instructions that will cause your Policy to be treated as a Modified Endowment Contract by signing a Modified Endowment Contract Election Form. You will find a detailed discussion of Modified

60


Endowment Contracts in the VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE AND YOUR TAXES section in this prospectus. You should speak to a qualified tax advisor for complete information regarding Modified Endowment Contracts.

 If applying the premium payment to your Policy will increase the Net Amount At Risk. This will happen if your Policy’s Death Benefit is equal to the Minimum Death Benefit or would be equal to it once we applied your premium payment.

You will find more detailed information regarding these situations in the SAI.

Allocating Your Premiums

We generally allocate your Net Premiums to the Investment Options you have chosen on your application on the day we receive them. See the APPENDIX: FUNDS AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY section in this prospectus for more information about the Funds underlying the Variable Investment Options. If we do not have allocation instructions, we will contact you to obtain updated allocation instructions. If you purchased the Flexible Duration No-Lapse Guarantee Rider, at initial purchase and during the entire time that you own this Rider, you must allocate 100% of the Accumulated Value among the allowable Investment Options as indicated under APPENDIX: FUNDS AVAILABLE UNDER THIS POLICY – Allowable Investment Options.

Where we allocate your first premium depends on the state and replacement status. For policies that require us to return the premiums you have paid if you exercise your Free Look Right, we will hold your Net Premiums in the Fidelity® VIP Government Money Market Variable Account until the end of the applicable state free look period, and then transfer them to the Investment Options you have chosen.

If your Policy requires refunds to be based on Accumulated Value if you exercise your Free Look Right, we allocate Net Premiums to the Investment Options you have chosen on the day we receive them or your Policy Date, if later. If your Policy has outstanding contractual and/or administrative requirements necessary before it can be placed In Force, we will allocate any Net Premiums received to the Fidelity® VIP Government Money Market Variable Account until the requirements are satisfied and your Policy is placed In Force.

61


YOUR POLICY’S ACCUMULATED VALUE

Accumulated Value is the value of your Policy on any Business Day. It is used as the basis for determining Policy benefits and charges.

We use it to calculate how much money is available to you for loans and withdrawals, and how much you will receive if you surrender your Policy. It also affects the amount of the Death Benefit if you choose a Death Benefit Option that’s calculated using Accumulated Value.

The Accumulated Value of your Policy is not guaranteed – it depends on the performance of the Investment Options you have chosen, the premium payments you have made, Policy charges and how much you have borrowed or withdrawn from the Policy.

If your Accumulated Value less any Policy Debt is insufficient to pay for Policy charges, your Policy will enter its Grace Period. We will send you a notice telling you the amount of premium to pay to keep your Policy In Force. The 61-day Grace Period starts on the notice date. If you do not pay sufficient premium during the Grace Period to restore your Policy’s Accumulated Value, your Policy will lapse. This Policy offers riders that provide no-lapse protection for a certain period if rider conditions are met. See the Short-Term No-Lapse Guarantee Rider and the Flexible Duration No-Lapse Guarantee Rider in the OTHER BENEFITS AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY section. Also see the Lapsing and Reinstatement section in this prospectus.

Calculating Your Policy’s Accumulated Value

Your Policy’s Accumulated Value is the sum of the following:

 Variable Accumulated Value – the sum of the Accumulated Value in each Variable Account.

 Fixed Accumulated Value – the value allocated to the Fixed Options.

 Indexed Accumulated Value – is the sum of the Segment Values for all Segments in each Indexed Account.

 Loan Account Value – The value of any Loans that you have taken, including interest on the amount of loan.

The Accumulated Value in the Fixed and Variable Options is made up of the following:

 Net Premiums that you allocate

 Any non-guaranteed Persistency Credits that we may pay

 Policy Charges that we deduct

 Withdrawals that you request

 Loans that you request and that become part of the Loan Account

 Earnings on the Accounts.

Your Policy’s Accumulated Value is the total amount allocated to the Variable Investment Options, the Indexed Fixed Options and the Fixed Options, plus the amount in the Loan Account. Please see the WITHDRAWALS, SURRENDERS AND LOANS – Taking Out a Loan section in this prospectus for information about loans and the Loan Account.

The Variable Accumulated Value is the sum of the value allocated to each of the Variable Accounts. For each Variable Account, we determine the value allocated to the Variable Investment Options on any Business Day by multiplying the number of accumulation units for each Variable Investment Option credited to your Policy on that day, by the Variable Investment Option’s unit value at the end of that day. The process we use to calculate unit values for the Variable Investment Options is described in YOUR INVESTMENT OPTIONS.

The Fixed Accumulated Value is the sum of the value in the Fixed Account and Fixed LT Account. We credit interest to these Accounts on a daily basis, at a rate not less than the guaranteed minimum of 2.00%. Please see YOUR INVESTMENT OPTIONS –Fixed Options for further details.

The Indexed Accumulated Value is the sum of the Segment Values for all Segments in the Indexed Fixed Options. We credit Segment Guaranteed Interest to each segment at a rate of 1%, and each segment receives Segment Indexed Interest credits at the Segment Maturity Date. Please see YOUR INVESTMENT OPTIONS – Indexed Fixed Options for further details.

When you request a Policy Loan, an equivalent amount of money is processed as an Account Deduction and added to the Loan Account. Please see WITHDRAWALS, SURRENDERS AND LOANS – Taking Out a Loan for information about loans and the Loan Account.

Persistency Credit

Your Policy may be eligible for a persistency credit. Here is how it works:

Beginning on your 11th Policy Anniversary and on each Policy Anniversary thereafter, we may credit your Policy’s Accumulated Value with a persistency credit. We calculate the persistency credit as the sum of Part 1 and Part 2 of the persistency credit.

62


Part 1 is calculated as a rate multiplied by your Policy’s average Accumulated Value less any Policy Debt on each Monthly Payment Date during the preceding Policy Year. The Part 1 rate is zero until the 16th Policy Anniversary when it is 0.15%. On Policy Anniversary 21 and thereafter, the Part 1 rate is 0.25%.

Part 2 is calculated separately for each Coverage Layer and then added together. This amount is based on the Face Amount for each Coverage Layer. Part 2 is zero prior to your 11th Policy Anniversary. Beginning on your 11th Policy Anniversary this amount is calculated and increases each year through the Policy Anniversary in where the younger Insured is Age 89. Thereafter this amount is zero. The amount of the Part 2 is based on your Age, Risk Class, and Death Benefit Option at the issue of each Coverage Layer. Coverage Layers where the younger Insured’s Age at Coverage issue is 70 or older are not eligible for the Part 2 persistency credit.

Terminating any Coverage Layer in its entirety will cease the crediting of any future Part 2 persistency credits attributable to that Coverage Layer.

Your Policy’s persistency credit is not guaranteed, and we may discontinue the program at any time.

For more information on the persistency credit, you may ask your life insurance producer to provide an In Force Illustration.

   
 

An example

 
 

Assume the average unloaned Policy Accumulated Value is $200,000:

 
 

 In Policy Year 11, the Part 1 rate of the persistency bonus is 0.00%. Part one of the persistency credit added to the Policy’s Accumulated Value is 0.00% x 200,000 = $0. The Part 2 of the persistency bonus for year 11 for $1,000,000 Base Face is $98.01. Total Persistency bonus for year 11 = $0 + $98.01 = $98.01.

 
 

Assume the average unloaned Policy Accumulated Value is $400,000:

 
 

 In Policy Year 16, the Part 1 rate of the persistency bonus is .15%. Part one of the persistency credit added to the Policy’s Accumulated Value is .15% x 400,000 = $600. The Part 2 of the persistency bonus for year 16 for $1,000,000 Base Face is $229.02. Total Persistency bonus for year 16 = $600 + $229.02 = $829.02.

 

Policy Charges

We take various charges from your Policy’s Accumulated Value to compensate us for the cost of the Policy benefits and for maintaining your Policy:

1. Monthly Deductions

2. Transaction Fees

3. Loan Interest Charged against the Loan Account

Guaranteed maximum fees are shown in the FEE TABLES section in this prospectus.

All Policy charges assessed under the policy will reduce the Accumulated Value as an Account Deduction.

We offer different underwriting methods such as guaranteed issue, simplified issue, or regular issue. If guaranteed issue or simplified issue is used, the cost of insurance rates are generally higher than if the Policy were issued through regular underwriting. As a result, a healthy individual who uses guaranteed or simplified issue may pay higher cost of insurance rates than if the healthy individual used regular issue for the Policy. See the MORE ON POLICY CHARGES – Underwriting Methods and Nonstandard Ratings section in the Statement of Additional Information for additional information on underwriting.

Monthly Deductions

We deduct a monthly charge from your Policy’s Accumulated Value on each Monthly Payment Date until the Monthly Deduction End Date. If there is not enough Accumulated Value to pay the monthly charge, your Policy could lapse. For more information, see the Lapsing and Reinstatement subsection below.

The Monthly Deduction is made up of five charges:

1. Cost of insurance charge

2. Administrative charge

3. Coverage charge

4. Charges for certain optional Riders and benefits

5.  Monthly Indexed Account charge

Your Policy and any Riders will provide a list of all guaranteed Policy charges as shown in the FEE TABLES section in this prospectus. For any given charge, we may charge less than these amounts, but we will never charge more than these guaranteed amounts. Any lesser charge will apply uniformly to all members of the same Class.

63


We may profit from Policy charges and may use these profits for any lawful purpose such as the payment of distribution and administrative expenses.

There are no Monthly Deductions after the Monthly Deduction End Date.

Cost of Insurance Charge

This Cost of Insurance Charge is for providing you with life insurance protection. It is based upon the cost of insurance rates of each Coverage Layer and a Net Amount At Risk. The current charge range is $0.00-$83.34 per $1,000 of Net Amount At Risk.

The Net Amount At Risk used for calculating cost of insurance charges is determined on the Monthly Payment Date as:

 The Death Benefit under the policy divided by the Net Amount At Risk Factor of 1.0016516

 Less the Accumulated Value

If your policy has multiple Coverage Layers, the Net Amount at Risk is proportional to each Coverage Layer based upon the Face Amount of the Coverage Layer.

There are maximum or guaranteed cost of insurance rates associated with each Coverage Layer. These rates are shown in your Policy Specifications or in any Supplemental Schedule of Coverage that we provide.

The guaranteed rates include the insurance risks associated with insuring one person. They are calculated using 2001 Commissioners Standard Ordinary Mortality Tables. The cost of insurance rates take into consideration the Age and sex of the Insured unless unisex rates are required. Unisex cost of insurance rates are based on sex-blended tables. Unisex rates are used for Policies issued in the state of Montana. They are also used when a Policy is owned by an employer in connection with employment-related or benefit programs.

   
 

How we calculate cost of insurance

 
 

We calculate cost of insurance by multiplying the current cost of insurance rate by a Net Amount At Risk at the beginning of each Policy month.

 
 

The Net Amount At Risk used in the cost of insurance calculation is the difference between a discounted Death Benefit that would be payable if the Insured died and the Accumulated Value of your Policy at the beginning of the Policy month before the monthly charge is due.

 
 

First, we calculate the total Net Amount At Risk for your Policy in two steps:

 
 

 Step 1: we divide the Death Benefit that would be payable at the beginning of the Policy month by 1.0016516.

 
 

 Step 2: we subtract your Policy’s Accumulated Value at the beginning of the Policy month from the amount we calculated in Step 1.

 
 

Next, we allocate the Net Amount At Risk in proportion to the Face Amount of all Coverage Layers, and each increase that’s In Force as of your Monthly Payment Date.

 
 

We then multiply the amount of each allocated Net Amount At Risk by the cost of insurance rate for each Coverage Layer. The sum of these amounts is your cost of insurance charge.

 
 

Premiums, Net Premiums, Policy fees and charges, withdrawals, investment performance and fees and expenses of the underlying Funds may affect your Net Amount At Risk, depending on the Death Benefit Option you choose or if your Death Benefit under the Policy is the Minimum Death Benefit.

 

Administrative charge

Currently, we deduct a charge not to exceed $10.00 a month to help cover the costs of administering and maintaining our Policies. We guarantee that this charge will not increase.

Coverage charge for Basic Life Coverage

We deduct a Coverage charge every month to help cover the costs of distributing our Policies. Like other Policy charges, we may profit from the Coverage charge and may use these profits for any lawful purpose, such as the payment of administrative costs.

Each Basic Life Coverage Layer has its own Coverage charge. The amount deducted monthly is the sum of the Coverage charges calculated for each Coverage Layer in effect.

The Coverage charge for your Policy at issue is calculated based on the Age and Risk Class of the Insureds and the Death Benefit Option you elect and multiplied by the initial Face Amount of your Policy.

Additional Coverage Layers will have a Coverage charge calculated based on the same criteria, all as of the effective date of the Coverage Layer. We will specify the charge in a supplemental schedule of benefits at the time the new Coverage Layer goes into effect. We will apply the charge for each Coverage Layer from the day that Coverage Layer goes into effect. If you decrease your Policy’s Face Amount, the Coverage charge will remain the same.

The guaranteed Coverage charge per $1,000 for each Coverage Layer will remain level for 20 years, after which it will change and then will remain at the new level amount until the Monthly Deduction End Date. We may charge less than the guaranteed rate. The guaranteed Coverage charges will vary in the states of California and Florida as shown in the Coverage charge section of the Appendix: State Law Variations. The guaranteed Coverage charges for your Policy will be shown in your Policy Specifications.

64


  
 

An example

 

For a Policy that insures a male non-smoker Age 56 and a female non-smoker Age 53 when the Policy is issued, with a Basic Face Amount of $1,000,000:

 

The guaranteed Coverage charge is $421.50 for years 1-20 and $252.90 thereafter. The current Coverage charge is $421.50 for the first 10 years and $0.00 thereafter.

The Coverage charge is $0 on and after the Monthly Deduction End Date.

Charges for optional riders

If you add any Riders to your Policy, we add any ongoing charges for them to your monthly charge. The current charges are discussed for each Rider, where applicable, in the FEE TABLES and OPTIONAL RIDERS AND BENEFITS sections in this prospectus.

65


Transaction Fees

Withdrawal Charge

Under the Policy, there is a $25 withdrawal charge for each partial withdrawal of Accumulated Value (including any withdrawal under the Automated Income Program). Currently, we are not imposing this charge.

Transfer fee

Under the Policy, there is a $25 withdrawal charge for each transfer in excess of 12 transfers per Policy year. Currently, we are not imposing this charge.

Audits of premium/loan

Under the Policy, there is a $25 fee upon the request of an audit of 2 years or more. Currently, we are not imposing this charge.

Duplicate Policy

Under the Policy, there is a $50 fee upon the request of a duplicate policy. Currently, we are not imposing this charge.

Illustration Request

Under the Policy, you can request one Policy Illustration each Policy year free of charge. After that there is a $25 per request fee for each Illustration. Currently, we are not imposing this charge.

Face Amount Increase

Under the Policy, there is a $100 fee upon effective date of requested Face Amount increase. Currently, we are not imposing this charge.

Risk Class Change

Under the Policy, there is a $100 fee upon request for Risk Class change. Currently, we are not imposing this charge.

Premium Load

Current fee information about premium loads can be found in the HOW PREMIUMS WORK - Deductions From Your Premiums section in this prospectus and for surrender charges, see the WITHDRAWALS, SURRENDERS AND LOANS - Surrendering Your Policy section in this prospectus.

Annual Renewable Term Rider-Individual Unscheduled Face Amount Increase

Under the Policy, there is a $100 fee upon each non-scheduled request to increase the Basic Face Amount and cover costs incurred in evaluating insurability. Currently, we are not imposing this charge.

Annual Renewable Term Rider-Last Survivor Unscheduled Face Amount Increase

Under the Policy, there is a $200 fee upon each non-scheduled request to increase the Basic Face Amount and cover costs incurred in evaluating insurability. Currently, we are not imposing this charge.

SVER Term Insurance Rider – Last Survivor

Under the Policy, there is a $200 fee upon increase. Currently, we are not imposing this charge.

Terminal Illness Rider–Last Survivor (Processing Charge)

Under the Rider, there is a $100 processing fee to determine and distribute the benefit payment. Currently, we are not imposing this charge.

Loan Interest

Currently, there is a loan interest charge of 2.25% for the amount you borrow. In addition to the loan interest charge, the amount used to secure the loan will be credited interest at a minimum amount of 2.00% to help offset the loan interest charge of 2.25%. Loan interest on the Loan Account and Policy Debt accrues daily and any loan interest on each Policy Anniversary will be added to the Loan Account. On each Policy Anniversary, we transfer the excess of the Policy Debt over Loan Account Value from the Investment Options to the Loan Account. If the Loan Account Value is greater than Policy Debt, then such excess is transferred from the Loan Account to the Variable Options or the Fixed Account on a proportionate basis according to your most recent Allocation Instructions.

Monthly Indexed Account Charge

We assess an additional charge every month for amounts in each of the Indexed Fixed Options. The charge is added to the Monthly Deduction assessed against the Policy’s Accumulated Value. The charge is calculated by multiplying the Indexed Account Charge Rate, as shown in the FEE TABLES (guaranteed maximum annual rate of 0.30% (0.025% monthly)), to the value of the Indexed Fixed Options as of the Monthly Payment Date.

66


  

Indexed Fixed Options

Monthly Indexed Account Charge

1 - Year Indexed Account

0.025% of Indexed Account value

1 - Year High-Par Indexed Account

0.025% of Indexed Account value

An example:

 For a Policy with $10,000 in the 1 - Year Indexed Account, the maximum monthly Indexed Account charge is:

($10,000 × 0.025%) = $2.50

See YOUR INVESTMENT OPTIONS – Indexed Fixed Options – Segment Value Changes.

Fund Charges and Expenses

Each Fund pays advisory fees, any service and distribution (12b-1) fees, and other expenses. These fees and expenses are deducted from the assets of the Fund(s) and may vary from year to year. They are not fixed and are not part of the terms of your Policy. You will find more about Fund fees and expenses in each Fund’s prospectus. If you choose a Variable Investment Option, these fees and expenses affect you indirectly because they reduce Fund returns. Each Fund is governed by its own Board of Trustees or Board of Directors.

Lapsing and Reinstatement

There is no guarantee that your Policy will not lapse even if you pay your planned periodic premium. Your Policy will lapse if there is not enough Accumulated Value, after subtracting any Policy Debt, to cover the monthly charge on the day we make the deduction. This Policy offers riders that provide no-lapse protection for a certain period if rider conditions are met. See the Short-Term No-Lapse Guarantee Rider and the Flexible Duration No-Lapse Guarantee Rider in the OTHER BENEFITS AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY section.

Your Policy’s Accumulated Value is affected by the following:

 Loans or withdrawals you make from your Policy

 Certain Rider benefits paid from your Policy

 Not making planned periodic premium payments

 The performance of your Investment Options

 Charges under the Policy.

If your Policy’s Accumulated Value less Policy Debt is not enough to pay the total Monthly Deduction, your policy will enter its Grace Period. We deduct the amount that is available and send you, and anyone you have assigned your Policy to, a notice telling you the amount to pay to keep your Policy In Force. The minimum amount you must pay to keep your Policy In Force is equal to three times the Monthly Deduction that was due on the Monthly Payment Date when there was not enough Accumulated Value to pay the charge, plus premium load. For more information regarding payment due to keep your Policy In Force, please contact our Consumer Markets Division.

We will give you a Grace Period of 61 days from the date we send the notice to pay sufficient premium to keep your Policy In Force. Your Policy will remain In Force during the Grace Period.

If we do not receive your payment within the Grace Period, your Policy will lapse with no value. This means we will end your life insurance Coverage.

If you make the minimum payment

If we receive your payment within the Grace Period, we will allocate your Net Premium on the day it is received to the Investment Options you have chosen and deduct the monthly charge from your Investment Options in proportion to the Accumulated Value you have in each Investment Option at the next policy monthly payment date.

If your Policy is in danger of lapsing and you have Policy Debt, you may find that making the minimum payment would cause the total premiums paid to exceed the maximum amount for your Policy’s Face Amount under tax laws. In that situation, we will not accept the portion of your payment that would exceed the maximum amount. To stop your Policy from lapsing, you will have to repay a portion of your Policy Debt.

Remember to tell us if your payment is a premium payment. Otherwise, we will treat it as a loan repayment.

How to avoid future lapsing

To stop your Policy from lapsing in the future, you may want to make larger or more frequent premium payments if tax laws permit it. Or if you have a Policy loan, you may want to repay a portion of it.

Paying Death Benefit Proceeds during the Grace Period

If the Survivor dies during the Grace Period, we will pay Death Benefit Proceeds to your Beneficiary. We will reduce the payment by any unpaid monthly charges and any Policy Debt.

Reinstating a lapsed Policy

If your Policy lapses, you have three years from the end of the Grace Period to apply for a reinstatement. We will consider your reinstatement request if you send us the following:

 A written application

 Evidence satisfactory to us that the Insured is still insurable

 A Premium payment sufficient to:

 Cover all unpaid monthly charges and Policy loan interest that were due in the Grace Period, and

 Keep your Policy In Force for three months after the day your Policy is reinstated.

We will reinstate your Policy as of the first Monthly Payment Date on or after the day we approve the reinstatement. When we reinstate your Policy, its Accumulated Value will be the same as it was on the day your Policy lapsed. We will allocate the Accumulated Value according to your most recent premium allocation instructions.

At reinstatement:

 Surrender charges and Policy charges other than Cost of Insurance charges for Basic Life Coverage under this Policy will resume on their schedule as of the Monthly Payment Date when lapse occurred.

 Cost of Insurance Charges will be calculated using Cost of Insurance Rates that resume their original schedule as if lapse had never occurred, reflecting the Insured’s Age at reinstatement and policy duration measured from the original Policy Date.

Reinstating a lapsed Policy with Policy Debt

If there was a Policy loan at the time of lapse, upon reinstatement we will eliminate the loan by deducting any Policy Debt from the Accumulated Value. Any negative Accumulated Value will be due in addition to sufficient premium at the time of reinstatement.

No-Lapse Guarantee Riders

Subject to state availability, if you meet certain requirements, your Policy may have a Flexible Duration No-Lapse Guarantee Rider or a Short-Term No-Lapse Guarantee Rider. These Riders may continue your Policy if it would otherwise lapse. For more information, please see OPTIONAL RIDERS AND BENEFITS.

YOUR INVESTMENT OPTIONS

You can find a complete list of the Variable Investment Options available under this Policy in the APPENDIX: FUNDS AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY section in this prospectus.

We put your Net Premium in our General Account and Separate Account. We own the assets in our accounts and allocate your Net Premiums, less any charges, to the Investment Options you have chosen. Amounts allocated to any available Fixed Options or Indexed Fixed Options are held in our General Account. Amounts allocated to the Variable Investment Options are held in our Separate Account. You will find information about when we allocate Net Premiums to your Investment Options in the HOW PREMIUMS WORK section in this prospectus.

You choose your initial Investment Options on your application. If you choose more than one Investment Option, you must tell us the dollar amount or percentage you want to allocate to each Investment Option. You can change your premium allocation instructions at any time.

You can change your premium allocation instructions by writing or sending a fax. If we have your completed telephone and electronic authorization on file, you can call us at (800) 347-7787 or submit a request electronically. Or you can ask your life insurance producer to contact us. You will find more information regarding telephone and electronic instructions in the POLICY BASICS section in this prospectus.

The Investment Options you choose, and how they perform, will affect your Policy’s Accumulated Value and may affect the Death Benefit. Please review the Investment Options carefully. You may ask your life insurance producer to help you choose the right ones for your goals and tolerance for risk. Any financial firm or representative you engage to provide advice and/or make transfers for you is not acting on our behalf. We are not responsible for any investment decisions or allocations you make, recommendations such financial representatives make or any allocations or specific transfers they choose to make on your behalf. Some broker-dealers may not allow or may limit the amount you may allocate to certain Investment Options. Work with your life insurance producer to help you choose the right Investment Options for your investment goals and risk tolerance. Make sure you understand any costs you may pay directly and indirectly on your Investment Options because they will affect the value of your Policy.

Certain of the asset allocation Fund(s), including the Pacific Select Fund asset allocation portfolios, may use futures and options to reduce the Fund(s) equity exposure during periods when market indicators suggest high market volatility. This strategy is designed to reduce the risk of market losses from investing in equity securities. However, this strategy may result in periods of underperformance, including periods when specified benchmark indexes are appreciating but market volatility is high. As a result, your Accumulated Value may increase less than it would have without these defensive actions.

We are not responsible for the operation of the underlying Funds or any of their portfolios. We also are not responsible for ensuring that the underlying Funds and their portfolios comply with any laws that apply.

Calculating unit values

When you choose a Variable Investment Option, we credit your Policy with accumulation units. The number of units we credit equals the amount we have allocated divided by the unit value of the Variable Account. Similarly, the number of accumulation units in your Policy will be reduced when you make a transfer, withdrawal or loan from a Variable Investment Option, and when your monthly charges are deducted.

   
 

An example

 
 

You ask us to allocate $6,000 to the Inflation Managed Investment Option on a Business Day. At the end of that day, the unit value of the Variable Account is $15. We will credit your Policy with 400 units ($6,000 divided by $15).

 

The value of an accumulation unit is the basis for all financial transactions relating to the Variable Investment Options. The value of an accumulation unit is not the same as the value of a share in the underlying Fund. We calculate the unit value for each Variable Account once every Business Day, usually at or about 4:00 p.m. Eastern time.

Generally, for any transaction, we will use the next unit value calculated after we receive your Written Request. If we receive your Written Request before the time of the close of the New York Stock Exchange, which is usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, on a Business Day, we will use the unit value calculated as of the end of that Business Day. If we receive your request at or after the time of the close of the New York Stock Exchange on a Business Day, we will use the unit value calculated as of the end of the next Business Day.

If a scheduled transaction falls on a day that is not a Business Day, we will process it as of the end of the next Business Day. For your monthly charge, we will use the unit value calculated on your Monthly Payment Date. If your Monthly Payment Date does not fall on a Business Day, we will use the unit value calculated as of the end of the next Business Day. For information about timing of transactions, see the POLICY BASICS section in this prospectus.

The unit value calculation is based on the following:

 The investment performance of the underlying Fund

69


 Any dividends or distributions paid by the underlying Fund

 Any charges for any taxes that are, or may become, associated with the operation of the Variable Account.

The unit value of a Variable Account will change with the value of its corresponding Fund. Changes in the unit value of a Variable Account will not change the number of accumulation units credited to your Policy. For unit values please go to www.pacificlife.com.

Fixed Options

You can also choose from two Fixed Options: Fixed Account and the Fixed LT Account. Fixed Account may earn a lower declared interest rate and has more flexible allocation rules than the Fixed LT Account. The Fixed LT Account may earn a higher declared interest rate but has stricter allocation rules than the Fixed Account . See the YOUR INVESTMENT OPTIONS – Transferring Among Investment Options and Market-timing Restrictions section in this prospectus for information on the allocation rules.

The Fixed Options provide a guaranteed minimum annual rate of interest. The amounts allocated to the Fixed Options and the Indexed Fixed Options are held in our General Account. For more information about the General Account, see the ABOUT PACIFIC LIFE section in this prospectus.

Here are some things you need to know about the Fixed Options:

 Accumulated Value allocated to the Fixed Options earns interest on a daily basis, using a 365-day year. Our minimum annual interest rate is 2.00%.

 We may offer a higher annual interest rate on the Fixed Options. If we do, we will guarantee the higher rate until your next Policy Anniversary.

 There are no direct charges. Policy charges still apply. Although the Fixed Account provides a guaranteed minimum interest rate, as a General Account asset, any guarantee is backed by our claims paying ability.

 There are limitations on when and how much you can transfer from the Fixed Options. These limitations are described below, in the YOUR INVESTMENT OPTIONS – Transferring Among Investment Options and Market-timing Restrictions section in this prospectus. It may take several Policy Years to transfer your Accumulated Value out of the Fixed Account.

 We reserve the right to limit aggregate allocations to the Fixed Options during the most recent 12 months for all Pacific Life policies in which you have an ownership interest or to which payments are made by a single payor, to $1,000,000. Any allocations in excess of these limits will be allocated to your other Investment Options according to your most recent instructions. If we do not have instructions that include other available Investment Options, we will contact you to obtain updated instructions. We may increase the limits at any time at our sole discretion. To find out if higher limits are in effect, ask your life insurance producer or contact us.

 We have not registered the Fixed Options with the SEC. Disclosures regarding the Fixed Options, however, are subject to certain generally applicable provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in the prospectus.

 We may add, terminate, or suspend one or more of the Fixed Options at any time. We will notify you before any such changes occur.

Indexed Fixed Options

 

We have not registered the Indexed Fixed Options with the SEC. Disclosures regarding the Indexed Fixed Options, however, are subject to certain generally applicable provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in the prospectus.

Pacific Life believes that the Policies are in substantial compliance with the applicable provisions of Section 989J(a)(1)-(3) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The Indexed Fixed Options qualify for an exemption from registration under the federal securities laws because, as a Pacific Life General Account investment option, its value does not vary according to the performance of a separate account. In addition, the products in which the Indexed Fixed Options are offered satisfy standard non-forfeiture laws. Accordingly, the Company has a reasonable basis for concluding that the Indexed Fixed Options provide sufficient guarantees of principal and interest through the Company’s General Account to qualify under Section 3(a)(8).

The Indexed Fixed Options are held in our General Account. Currently, there are two Indexed Fixed Options, the 1-Year Indexed Account and the 1-Year High Par Indexed Account.

Allocations to the Indexed Fixed Options are made first to the Fixed Account and transferred to the Indexed Fixed Options on the next Segment Start Date. If you surrender your Policy prior to segment maturity, you will forfeit any Segment Indexed Interest. We reserve the right to add additional Indexed Fixed Options or to cease offering one or more of the Indexed Fixed Options at any time. We will notify you of any change at your address on file with us.

You may also allocate all or part of your Net Premium and your Accumulated Value to the Indexed Fixed Options if certain conditions are met. Accumulated Value in the Indexed Fixed Options is divided into Segments. We create a separate Segment for each allocation to an Indexed Fixed Option. Allocations to the Indexed Fixed Options are made first to the Fixed Account and transferred from the Fixed Account to an Indexed Fixed Option on the next Segment Start Date (currently the 15th of each month). Each Segment represents Accumulated Value transferred from the Fixed Account to the Indexed Fixed Options on a Segment Start Date.

Growth Cap

Segment Indexed Interest is subject to a Growth Cap, which is the highest percentage that will be credited for a one-year period even if the change in the S&P 500® Index is higher. The steps used to calculate the amount of interest credited and how the Growth Cap is used can be found in the Segment Maturity section below. The Growth Cap is subject to change at our discretion, but the Growth Cap percentage is guaranteed (the Guaranteed Minimum Growth Cap) never to be lower than 3% for the 1-Year Indexed Account and 2% for the 1-Year High Par Indexed Account. We will declare any change in the current Growth Cap at the start of a Segment Term; the current Growth Cap will remain in effect for that Segment Term. If you have an existing Segment, before the end of your Segment Term, please contact us at (800) 347-7787 or contact your life insurance producer for the current Growth Cap that will apply to a new Segment. If you are allocating to a Segment for the first time, you can contact us or ask your life insurance producer for information on the current Growth Caps prior to investment. Once a Segment is created, you cannot transfer Accumulated Value out of that Segment until the end of the Segment Term.

Participation Rate

The Participation Rate is used to determine what percentage of the growth in the underlying Index will be used to determine the amount of interest credited at the end of a Segment Term. The steps used to calculate the amount of interest credited at the end of a term and how the Participation Rate is used can be found in the Segment Maturity section below. The guaranteed minimum Participation Rate is 100% for the 1-Year Indexed Account and 140% for the 1-Year High Par Indexed Account. If you have an existing Segment, before the end of your Segment Term, please contact us at (800) 347-7787 or contact your life insurance producer for information on the current Participation Rate that will apply to a new Segment. If you are allocating to a Segment for the first time, you can contact us or ask your life insurance producer for information on the current Participation Rates prior to investment. Once a Segment is created, you cannot transfer Accumulated Value out of that Segment until the end of the Segment Term.

We credit interest on Accumulated Value in the Indexed Fixed Options in two ways. One way is that at the end of a one-year period (the Segment Maturity), we credit interest based in part on any positive change in the S&P 500® Index1, excluding dividends.2 This positive change, however, is limited by the Growth Cap (as discussed below, the Growth Cap includes the Cumulative Segment Guaranteed Interest Rate). The other way, is that on each Business Day we credit interest on Accumulated Value in any Segment based on a minimum interest rate, 1% annually for both of the Indexed Fixed Options (the Cumulative Segment Guaranteed Interest Rate, as shown in the Policy Specifications). Generally, a portion of the total return on investments in the securities that underlie the S&P 500® are investment dividends. However, allocations to the 1-Year Indexed Account and 1-Year High Par Indexed Account will not receive the portion of total returns attributable to dividends, so that the index’s performance will be less than that of the securities underlying the S&P 500® Index. We refer to the total interest we credit to a Segment as the Total Interest Credited.

Below is a hypothetical example that shows how we credit interest to a Segment in the 1-Year High Par Indexed Account on a guaranteed basis.

Assumptions:

 The segment Accumulated Value is $10,000 at the start of the first segment.

 There are no deductions for Policy charges, including the annual 0.30% Indexed Fixed Option Charge (this assumes all charges are deducted from the Fixed Account and/or the Variable Accounts).

 The Growth Cap is 2% for all time periods.

 Accumulated Value is reallocated to a new Segment at Segment Maturity.

Here is how Segments Work

74


 Segment Creation. A new Segment is created when there is a transfer to the Indexed Fixed Options. The Segment continues until the end of the Segment Term.

 Segment Value Change. The Segment is credited with the Segment Guaranteed Interest and is reduced by Segment Deductions (discussed below).

 Segment Deductions. Over the Segment Term, money may be transferred from the Segments for the Policy’s Monthly Deductions, for withdrawals and for policy loans.

 Segment Indexed Interest. Based in part on any positive change of the Index, additional interest may be credited to the Segment at the end of the Segment Term. It is possible, however, that Segment Indexed Interest will not be greater than zero.

 Segment Maturity. At the end of a Segment Term, the Segment Maturity Value is reallocated to a new Segment or to the Fixed Options, based on your instructions.

Important Considerations:

 Net Premiums and Accumulated Value are not directly deposited in or allocated to the Indexed Fixed Options. Such amounts are first allocated or transferred to the Fixed Account. On a Segment Start Date, we then transfer such Net Premiums and Accumulated Value to the Indexed Fixed Options.

 All Segment Start Dates currently begin on the 15th of a month. Each Segment Start Date has a Cutoff Date. To begin a Segment on a particular Segment Start Date, we must receive your instructions and payment by the Cutoff Date for that Segment Start Date.

 You can only allocate all or a portion of your Net Premiums or transfer Accumulated Value to the Indexed Fixed Options if your Policy is not in a Lockout Period (discussed below). However, the Lockout Period will not affect any maturing Segments. Accumulated Value in a Segment that matures during the Lockout Period will be reallocated to a new segment, or to the Fixed Account per your instructions.

 We assess a charge on Accumulated Value in the Indexed Fixed Options.

 We first deduct all Monthly Deductions, loans, and withdrawals from Accumulated Value in the Fixed Accounts and Variable Accounts. We then deduct amounts in excess of Accumulated Value in the Fixed Accounts and Variable Accounts from the Indexed Fixed Options.

 There is no guarantee that Segment Indexed Interest will be greater than zero at Segment Maturity. However, we credit Segment Guaranteed Interest daily to Accumulated Value in the Indexed Fixed Options.

 The total interest crediting rate that is applied to each Segment will never exceed the Growth Cap, and will never be less than the 1% Segment Guaranteed Interest rate.

 You cannot transfer Accumulated Value from an Indexed Fixed Option until Segment Maturity.

 At Segment Maturity, we will automatically invest Segment Maturity Value into a new Segment unless you tell us otherwise by the Cutoff Date.

 We may eliminate or substitute the Index if the Index we are currently using is no longer published, if the licensing agreement for a particular Index expires, or if the cost of providing the investment on the Index becomes too high. We will supplement this Prospectus prior to any elimination or substitution of the underlying Index.

 Changing the Index will not affect the guarantees for the Indexed Fixed Options.

 We will notify you if we replace the Index.

 We will select a replacement Index in our sole discretion, based on the availability of the Index and our ability to purchase the necessary underlying securities.

The way we calculate interest on Accumulated Value allocated to the Indexed Fixed Options is different from the way Accumulated Value allocated to a Variable Account, such as the Equity Index Variable Account, is calculated. The Equity Index Variable Account invests in the Pacific Select Fund Equity Index Portfolio, whose investment strategy is to invest at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of companies that are included in the S&P 500® Index. Accumulated Value allocated to the Equity Index Variable Account is valued daily based on the net asset value of the underlying Equity Index Fund. The Equity Index Variable Account reflects the change in the underlying Equity Index Fund’s net asset value.

Conversely, the Indexed Fixed Options are part of Pacific Life’s General Account. Investment of General Account assets is at Pacific Life’s sole discretion, subject to applicable law and regulation. The Segment Indexed Interest credited to Segments of the Indexed Fixed Options is based in part on any positive change in the S&P 500â Index (without dividends). It is a one-year point-to-point interest crediting strategy that will credit interest based on the one-year performance of the S&P 500â (without dividends) between two points in time, with a Segment Guaranteed Interest Rate and Growth Cap, as described above. The Segment Guaranteed Interest credited to Segments is based on a predetermined annual interest rate that does not fluctuate during a Segment Term.

75


Segment Creation:

 Segments can be funded by:

a. Premium payments

b. Transfers from the Fixed Account

c. Reallocated amounts from prior Segments following Segment Maturity.

 A new Segment is created when amounts are transferred from the Fixed Account to an Indexed Fixed Option.

 Accumulated Value held in the Fixed Account will earn interest at the Fixed Account rate until it is transferred.

In order for us to create a Segment on a particular Segment Start Date, we must receive your instructions and payment by the Cutoff Date for that Segment Start Date. It is important to remember the Accumulated Value we transfer from the Fixed Account at the Segment Start Date may be less than your Designated Amount if we deducted Policy charges, or if you took a withdrawal or loan, from the Fixed Account before the Segment Start Date.

Once a Segment is created, you may not transfer Accumulated Value out of that Segment to any other Investment Option before the end of the Segment Term.

Allocations to the Indexed Fixed Options will first be made to the Fixed Account and transferred to the Indexed Fixed Options on the next Segment Start Date. The value in the Indexed Fixed Options may come from several sources:

 Net Premiums or loan repayments that you have instructed us to transfer to the Indexed Fixed Option;

 Transfers you request from the Fixed Account;

 Transfers from the Variable Accounts and Fixed LT Account, which can be made to the Fixed Account under policy Transfer guidelines, and then transferred from the Fixed Account into the Indexed Fixed Options.

Transfers from the Fixed Account to an Indexed Fixed Option may not be made during the Lockout Period.

Each Segment has its own Growth Cap and Participation Rate. The Growth Cap and Participation Rate for a Segment are those in effect on the Segment Start Date. The Growth Cap and Participation Rate in effect as of the Policy Date are shown in the Policy Specifications. We will notify you in the Annual Report or other written notice if they change.

We reserve the right to change the Segment Start Dates and to limit transfers into the Indexed Fixed Options, but in any event you will be allowed to make transfers at least once per calendar quarter. We will notify you in the Annual Report or other written notice if we change the Segment Start Dates.

There are two ways to make transfers to the Indexed Fixed Options:

 Payment and Reallocation Instructions;

 Transfers by Written Request

Transfers to the Indexed Fixed Options will be based on your latest instructions on file with us. There are two types of instructions for transfers to the Indexed Fixed Options.

1. Payment Instructions: are your instructions to us to transfer a portion of a Net Premium or Loan Repayment to an Indexed Fixed Option. The portion of the Net Premium or Loan repayment that you designated will be deposited into the Fixed Account on the day it is received and will remain there until the next Segment Start Date, assuming we received your instructions and payment by the Cutoff Date for that Segment Start Date. The Fixed Account will earn interest and be assessed Policy charges during this period. On the Segment Start Date, we will transfer the lesser of the amount of Net Premium or Loan Repayment you designated for transfer, or the value of the Fixed Account. If you did not give us instructions and your payment by the Cutoff Date or if your Policy is in a Lockout Period, we will not make the transfer to the Indexed Fixed Option.

 An example:

 We receive and apply a premium payment of $10,000 on January 2, which corresponds to a Net Premium of $9,485 after deduction of a $515 maximum premium load. Based upon your payment instructions, 100% of the Net Premium is applied to the Indexed Fixed Option and the Designated Amount = $9,485.

 On January 2, the Designated Amount is applied to the Fixed Account and the Fixed Account balance is $9,485. The Policy earns interest and charges are deducted, and on January 15 (the Segment Start Date), the Fixed Account balance is equal to $9,400.

 On January 15, the Segment Start Date, the Fixed Account balance is $9,400, which is less than the Designated Amount. This amount will be transferred to the Indexed Fixed Option and the Fixed Account balance will be zero.

 Another example:

 Using the same examples as above, but assuming that the Fixed Account Value is $9,700 on the Segment Start Date:

76


 On January 15, the Segment Start Date, the Designated Amount of $9,485 will be transferred to the Indexed Fixed Option. The Fixed Account value will be $215.

2. Reallocation Instructions: are your instructions to us to reallocate the Segment Maturity Value to the Indexed Fixed Options at the end of a Segment Term or the Fixed Options. If you did not give us instructions, the Segment Maturity Value automatically will be reallocated to the same Indexed Fixed Option to create a new Segment. Transfer of the Segment Maturity Value from the Fixed Account to other Investment Options must be made in compliance with your Policy’s transfer restrictions. Transfer restrictions in effect may increase the amount of time required to transfer your Indexed Accumulated Value from the Indexed Fixed Options. See Transferring Among Investment Options and Market-timing Restrictions. If the current Segment Start Date (the 15th of a month) were to change, any Segment Maturity Value will be transferred and held in the Fixed Account at Segment Maturity and then transferred to the applicable Indexed Accounts on the new Segment Start Date.

 You may also make transfers to the Indexed Fixed Options by Written Request. We must receive your request before the Cutoff Date. When we receive your Written Request, we will make the allocation first to the Fixed Account and then transfer it to the Indexed Fixed Options on the next Segment Start Date. If you want to transfer Accumulated Value from other Investment Options into the Indexed Fixed Options, your Accumulated Value will first be transferred from the Investment Options to the Fixed Account, according to the Transfer provisions in your Policy, and then transferred from the Fixed Account to the Indexed Fixed Options. See Transferring Among Investment Options and Market-timing Restrictions.

 Any reallocation of Segment Maturity Value from the Indexed Fixed Options to the Fixed Options will occur before any other transfer.

Segment Value Changes:

We credit interest daily to each Segment from the Segment Date to Segment Maturity at an annual rate equal to the Segment Guaranteed Interest Rate shown in your Policy Specifications.

Deductions from your Policy’s Accumulated Value for Monthly Deductions, policy loans and withdrawals are taken first from the Policy’s Fixed Accumulated Value and Variable Accumulated Value. If there is no Fixed Accumulated Value or Variable Accumulated Value, we will take deductions from the Indexed Accumulated Value. Deductions are first taken from the 1-Year Indexed Account, and then from the 1-Year High Par Indexed Account. Deductions are made for all Segments within each Indexed Fixed Option proportionate to Segment Value. For each Segment, deductions are taken first from the Segment monthly balance (defined below under Segment Maturity) and then from the Segment Guaranteed Interest. If a withdrawal or loan is taken from the Policy that results in a deduction from the Indexed Fixed Options, and the withdrawal or loan is not taken pursuant to a Systematic Distribution Program, then a Lockout Period will begin. During the Lockout Period you may not allocate all or a portion of a Net Premium, loan repayments or otherwise transfer Accumulated Value from the Fixed Account into the Indexed Fixed Options. Segment reallocations for any maturing Segment will be made according to your reallocation instructions.

Deductions from the Indexed Accumulated Value may be taken for monthly Policy charges, withdrawals or loans. Segment Indexed Interest will be credited to the Segment and is equal to the Segment Indexed Interest Rate multiplied by the average of all Segment Monthly Balances over the entire Segment Term. This means that a proportionate Segment Indexed Interest will be applied to all amounts that are deducted from the Indexed Fixed Options over the Segment Term.

77


       

Here is an example of how a deduction from the Policy affects Segment Indexed Interest.

 We create the Segment on January 15 with a $1,000 allocation.

 You have not taken a loan, and we have not deducted Policy charges from the Segment.

 On July 15, you take a single withdrawal (or Policy loan) of $300 from the Segment.

 At the end of the Segment Term, the Index Growth Rate and corresponding Segment Indexed Interest Rate are 8%.

The average monthly Segment Balance is $850 (6 months × $1,000 + 6 months × $700, divided by 12).

The Segment Indexed Interest credited at Segment Maturity is $68 ($850 × 8% = $68.00). Upon Segment Maturity, the final Segment Accumulated Value is $768 (the $700 remaining Segment Balance plus the $68 Segment Indexed Interest).

 

How surrenders affect Segment Indexed Interest

Using the example above, if you surrender the Policy on July 15th instead of taking a withdrawal, you will forfeit the Segment Indexed Interest we would otherwise have credited, and the $1,000 Accumulated Value in the Segment is included in the Policy’s Net Cash Surrender Value.

Segment Maturity:

We calculate Segment Indexed Interest, if any, and credit it to the Segment at Segment Maturity. We will never credit negative interest to the Indexed Fixed Options. The Segment ends at Segment Maturity and we allocate the Segment Maturity Value to the Investment Options according to your reallocation instructions on file with us. If you have not given us reallocation instructions, we will reallocate the Segment Maturity Value to a new Segment in the Indexed Fixed Options. Reallocation to a new Segment will be subject to the Growth Cap and Participation Rate then in effect. However, if the Segment Maturity Value consists only of the Segment Guaranteed Interest and the Segment Indexed Interest, we will transfer such value into the Fixed Account.

The Segment Indexed Interest is the average of all Segment monthly balances over the entire Segment Term multiplied by the Segment Indexed Interest Rate.

The Segment monthly balance is, as of the end of any Segment Month, the amount initially transferred to the Segment minus all Segment Deductions, excluding any interest that may have been credited to the Segment. We calculate the Segment monthly balance as of the end of each Segment Month, and average these amounts for determining the Segment Indexed Interest.

The Segment Indexed Interest Rate reflects the Index Growth Rate, and is equal to [the lesser of (a × b) and c] – d, such result being not less than zero, where:

a = Index Growth Rate;

b = Participation Rate (currently 100% for the 1-Year Indexed Account and 150% for the 1-Year High Par Indexed Account and guaranteed to be not less than 100% for the 1-Year Indexed Account and 140% for the 1-Year High Par Indexed Account);

c = Growth Cap (Will not be less than 3% for the 1-Year Indexed Account and 2% for the 1-Year High Par Indexed Account); and

d = Cumulative Segment Guaranteed Interest Rate (1%).

Transferring Among Investment Options and Market-timing Restrictions

Transfers

You can transfer among your Investment Options any time during the life of your Policy without triggering any current income tax. If your state requires us to refund your premiums when you exercise your Free Look Right, you can make transfers and use transfer programs only after the Free Look Transfer Date. Your transfer of Accumulated Value on the Free Look Transfer Date does not count as a transfer for purpose of applying the limitations described in this section. You can make transfers by writing to us, by making a telephone or electronic transfer, or by signing up for one of our automatic transfer services. You will find more information about making telephone and electronic transfers in the POLICY BASICS section of this prospectus.

Transfers will normally be effective as of the end of the Business Day we receive your written, telephone or electronic request.

Here are some things you need to know about making transfers:

 Transfers are limited to 25 for each calendar year.

 If you have used all 25 transfers available to you in a calendar year, you may no longer make transfers between the Investment Options until the start of the next calendar year. However, you may make 1 transfer of all or a portion of your Policy’s Accumulated Value remaining in the Variable Investment Options into the Fidelity® VIP Government Money Market Variable Account prior to the start of the next calendar year.

 You may only make 2 transfers in any calendar month to or from each of the following Investment Options:

    

American Funds IS Asset Allocation Fund Class 4

Fidelity® VIP Freedom 2015 Service Class 2

Fidelity® VIP Freedom 2045 Service Class 2

T. Rowe Price Blue Chip Growth Portfolio – II

American Funds IS Growth Fund Class 4

Fidelity® VIP Freedom 2020 Service Class 2

Fidelity® VIP Freedom Income Service Class 2

T. Rowe Price Equity Income Portfolio – II

American Funds IS Growth-Income Fund Class 4

Fidelity® VIP Freedom 2025 Service Class 2

Fidelity® VIP Growth Service Class 2

 

Fidelity® VIP Contrafund Service Class 2

Fidelity® VIP Freedom 2030 Service Class 2

Fidelity® VIP Mid Cap Service Class 2

 

Fidelity® VIP Freedom 2010 Service Class 2

Fidelity® VIP Freedom 2035 Service Class 2

Fidelity® VIP Value Strategies Service Class 2

 

For example, if you transfer from the American Funds IS Asset Allocation Fund Class 4 to the American Funds IS Growth Fund Class 4, that counts as one transfer for each Investment Option. Only one more transfer involving those two Investment Options can occur during the calendar month. If you later transfer from the Fidelity VIP Value Strategies Service Class 2 to the American Funds IS Asset Allocation Fund Class 4, that would be the second transfer in the calendar month involving the American Funds IS Asset Allocation Fund Class 4 and that Investment Option is no longer available for the remainder of the calendar month. All other Investment Options listed above would still be available to transfer into or out of for the remainder of the calendar month.

 Additionally, only 2 transfers in any calendar month may involve any of the following Investment Options:

    

BlackRock Global Allocation V.I. Fund Class III

Lazard Retirement Global Dynamic Multi-Asset Portfolio Service Shares

Templeton Foreign VIP Fund Class 2

Western Asset Variable Global High Yield Bond Portfolio Class II

   

Invesco V.I. Global Fund Series II

Lazard Retirement International Equity Portfolio Service Shares

Templeton Global Bond VIP Fund Class 2

 

Janus Henderson Overseas Portfolio Service Class

PIMCO Global Managed Asset Allocation Portfolio - Advisor Class

VanEck VIP Global Resources Fund Initial Class

 
  

Variable Account I

(M International Equity Fund)

 

For example, if you transfer from the BlackRock Global Allocation V.I. Fund Class III to the Invesco V.I. Global Fund Series II, that counts as one transfer for the calendar month. If you later transfer from the Templeton Foreign VIP Fund Class 2 to the Templeton Global Bond VIP Fund Class 2, that would be the second transfer for the calendar month and no more transfers will be allowed for any of the Investment Options listed above for the remainder of the calendar month.

 For the purpose of applying the limitations, multiple transfers that occur on the same day are considered 1 transfer. Transfers into the Loan Account, a transfer of Accumulated Value from the Loan Account into your Investment Options following a loan payment, transfers that occur as a result of the dollar cost averaging service, the portfolio rebalancing service, Fixed Option interest sweep service, approved corporate owned life insurance policy rebalancing programs, the first year transfer service or

79


an approved asset allocation service are excluded from the transfer limitations. Also, allocations of premium payments are not subject to these limitations.

 Transfers to or from a Variable Investment Option cannot be made before the seventh calendar day following the last transfer to or from the same Variable Investment Option. If the seventh calendar day is not a Business Day, then a transfer may not occur until the next Business Day. The day of the last transfer is not considered a calendar day for purposes of meeting this requirement. For example, if you make a transfer into the Equity Index Variable Investment Option on Monday, you may not make any transfers to or from that Variable Investment Option before the following Monday. Transfers to or from the Fidelity® VIP Government Money Market Variable Account are excluded from this limitation.

 Only one transfer into the Fixed LT account is allowed during the Policy Year any 12 month period. There is no limit on the number of transfers into the Fixed Account other than the restriction that the total number of transfers cannot exceed 25 in a policy year. Transfers to the Fixed Options may be limited (see the YOUR INVESTMENT OPTIONS – Fixed Options section in this prospectus).

 You can make one transfer in any 12-month period from each Fixed Option, except if you have signed up for the first year transfer service (see the YOUR INVESTMENT OPTIONS – Transfer Services section in this prospectus). Such transfers are limited to:

 Transfer from the Fixed Account: the greater of $5,000, 25% of your Policy’s Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account, or the amount transferred from the Fixed Account to the Variable Accounts in the prior year. You may transfer 100% of the value in the Fixed Account to the Fixed LT Account.

 Transfer from the Fixed LT Account: the greater of $5,000, 10% of your Policy’s Accumulated Value in the Fixed LT Account, or the amount transferred from the Fixed LT Account to the Variable Accounts or Fixed Account in the prior year.

 We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to waive the transfer restrictions on the Fixed Options. Please contact us or your life insurance producer to find out if a waiver is currently in effect.

 If you request a transfer to the Indexed Fixed Options and we receive your instructions by the Cutoff Date, we will make the transfer first to the Fixed Account and then to the Indexed Fixed Options on the next Segment Start Date.

 Currently, there is no charge for making a transfer but we may charge you in the future. The maximum fee we will charge for a transfer is $25 per transfer in excess of 12 per Policy Year.

 There is no minimum required value for the Investment Option you are transferring to or from.

 There is no minimum amount required if you are making transfers between Variable Investment Options.

 You cannot make a transfer if your Policy is in the Grace Period and is in danger of lapsing.

 We can restrict or suspend transfers.

 We will notify you or your representative if we refuse or delay your transfer request.

 We have the right to impose limits on transfer amounts, the value of the Investment Options you are transferring to or from, or impose further limits on the number and frequency of transfers you can make. Any policy we establish with regard to the exercise of any of these rights will be applied uniformly to all Policy Owners.

There are no exceptions to the above transfer limitations in the absence of an error by us, a substitution of Investment Options, reorganization of underlying Funds, or other extraordinary circumstances.

We do not count the transfer from the Fixed Account to an Indexed Fixed Option towards the number of transfers you may make in Policy Year. Further, we do not count such transfer towards the number of transfers you may make in a Policy Year without a transfer fee.

You may not transfer from an Indexed Fixed Option until Segment Maturity. In addition, you may not allocate all or a portion of a Net Premium or Accumulated Value to the Indexed Fixed Option if your Policy is in a Lockout Period.

Upon Segment Maturity, the Segment Maturity Value cannot be transferred directly into the Variable Options. The Segment Maturity Value must first be transferred to the Fixed Account before it can be transferred to the Variable Options. You must provide us instructions prior to the Cut-off Date, to automatically transfer the Segment Maturity Value to the Fixed Account. Once the Segment Maturity Value is transferred to the Fixed Account, any transfers, thereafter from the Fixed Account to the Variable Options, will be subject to the Fixed Account transfer restrictions, which may increase the amount of time required to transfer the value into the Variable Options.

Market-timing restrictions

The Policy is not designed to serve as a vehicle for frequent trading in response to short-term fluctuations in the market. Accordingly, organizations or individuals that use market-timing investment strategies and make frequent transfers should not purchase the Policy. Such frequent trading can disrupt management of the underlying Funds and raise expenses. The transfer limitations set forth above are

80


intended to reduce frequent trading. As required by SEC regulation (Rule 22c-2 of the 1940 Act), we entered into written agreements with each Fund or its principal underwriter that require us to provide to a Fund, upon Fund request, certain information about the trading activity of individual Contract Owners. The agreement requires us to execute any Fund instructions we receive that restrict or prohibit further purchases or transfers by specific Contract Owners who violate the frequent trading or market timing policies established by a Fund. The policies of a Fund may be more restrictive than our policies or the policies of other Funds. See the Fund prospectuses for additional information.

In addition, we monitor certain large transaction activity in an attempt to detect trading that may be disruptive to the Funds. In the event transfer activity is found to be disruptive, certain future subsequent transfers by such Policy Owners, or by a life insurance producer or other party acting on behalf of one or more Policy Owners, will require preclearance. Frequent trading and large transactions that are disruptive to Fund management can have an adverse effect on Fund performance and therefore your Policy’s performance. Such trading may also cause dilution in the value of the Investment Options held by long-term Policy Owners. While these issues can occur in connection with any of the underlying Funds, Funds holding securities that are subject to market pricing inefficiencies are more susceptible to abuse. For example, Funds holding international securities may be more susceptible to time-zone arbitrage which seeks to take advantage of pricing discrepancies occurring between the time of the closing of the market on which the security is traded and the time of pricing of the Fund.

Our policies and procedures which limit the number and frequency of transfers and which may impose preclearance requirements on certain large transactions are applied uniformly to all Policy Owners, subject to the transfer restrictions outlined above. However, there is a risk that these policies and procedures will not detect all potentially disruptive activity or will otherwise prove ineffective in whole or in part. Further, we and our affiliates make available to our variable life insurance policy owners and variable annuity contract owners underlying Funds not affiliated with us. We are unable to monitor or restrict the trading activity with respect to shares of such Funds not sold in connection with our contracts. In the event the Board of Trustees/Directors of any underlying Fund imposes a redemption fee or trading (transfers) limitations, we will pass them on to you.

We reserve the right to restrict, in our sole discretion and without prior notice, transfers initiated by a market timing organization or individual or other party authorized to give transfer instructions on behalf of multiple Policy Owners. Such restrictions could include:

 Not accepting transfer instructions from a representative acting on behalf of more than one Policy Owner, and

 Not accepting preauthorized transfer forms from market timers or other entities acting on behalf of more than one Policy Owner at a time.

We further reserve the right to impose, without prior notice, restrictions on transfers that we determine, in our sole discretion, will disadvantage or potentially hurt the rights or interests of other policy owners.

Transfer Services

We offer several services that allow you to make transfers of Accumulated Value or interest earnings from one Investment Option to another. Under the dollar cost averaging and portfolio rebalancing services, you can transfer among the Variable Investment Options. Under the first year transfer service, you can make transfers from the Fixed Account to the Fixed LT Account and the Variable Investment Options. Under the Fixed Option interest sweep service, you can transfer interest earnings from the Fixed Account or Fixed LT Account to the Variable Investment Options. Under the Scheduled Indexed Transfer Program, you can schedule transfers from the Fixed Account to the Indexed Accounts.

We may restrict the number of transfer services in which you can participate at any time. Currently, you may use only one transfer service at any time. We have the right to discontinue, modify or suspend any of these transfer services at any time.

Detailed information regarding each transfer service appears in the SAI.

Dollar cost averaging

Our dollar cost averaging service allows you to make scheduled transfers of $50 or more between Variable Investment Options. It does not allow you to make transfers to or from either of the Fixed Options or the Indexed Fixed Options. We process transfers as of the end of the Business Day on your Policy’s monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual anniversary, depending on the interval you choose. You must have at least $5,000 in a Variable Investment Option to start the service.

Since the value of accumulation units can change, more units are credited for a scheduled transfer when unit values are lower, and fewer units when unit values are higher. This allows you to average the cost of investments over time. By making allocations on a regularly scheduled basis, instead of on a lump sum basis, you may reduce exposure to market volatility. Investing this way does not guarantee profits or prevent losses.

We will not charge you for the dollar cost averaging service or for transfers made under this service, even if we decide to charge you in the future for transfers outside of the service, except if we have to by law.

Example

You instruct us to transfer $12,000 of Accumulated Value from one Variable Investment Option to another Variable Investment Option that you select over a 12-month period. Each month, we will transfer $1,000 based on the instructions provided.

As the value of the underlying Funds changes, the value of the allocations to the Variable Investment Options will also change. The portfolio rebalancing service automatically transfers your Policy’s Accumulated Value among the Variable Investment Options according to your original percentage allocations. We process transfers as of the end of the Business Day on your Policy’s next quarterly, semi-annual or annual anniversary, depending on the interval you choose, unless you specify a different start date.

Because the portfolio rebalancing service matches your original percentage allocations, we may transfer money from an Investment Option with relatively higher returns to one with relatively lower returns.

We do not charge for the portfolio rebalancing service and we do not currently charge for transfers made under this service. If imposed, transfer fees could be substantial if total transfers scheduled under this service plus any unscheduled transfers you request exceed any applicable minimum guarantee of free transfers per Policy Year.

If at any time you move all or any portion of your Policy’s Accumulated Value out of the Investment Options you selected at the time you enrolled in the portfolio rebalancing service, your enrollment will be cancelled. Once the portfolio rebalancing service is cancelled, you must wait 30 days before you can re-enroll.

Example

You allocate 25% of your Accumulated Value to four different Variable Investment Options (e.g. Variable Investment Option A, B, C and D) and instruct us to maintain that allocation every three months. You elect to have your Variable Investment Options rebalanced quarterly measured from the date your Policy was issued. Over the three-month period, the Accumulated Value in each of your Variable Investment Options will change due to market fluctuations. At the end of the three-month period, we will rebalance your values (buy and sell accumulation units) so that the Accumulated Value in each Variable Investment Option is back to 25% of the Accumulated Value.

First year transfer

Our first year transfer service allows you to make transfers from the Fixed Account to the Variable Investment Options or the Fixed LT Account during the Policy's first year. It does not allow you to transfer among Variable Investment Options. You enroll in the service when you apply for your Policy using the New Business Variable Life Optional Services form.

This service allows you to average the cost of investments over the first 12 months from the date your initial premium is applied to your Policy. Investing this way does not guarantee profits or prevent losses.

We do not charge for the first year transfer service and we do not currently charge for transfers made under this service. If imposed, transfer fees could be substantial if total transfers scheduled under this service plus any unscheduled transfers you request exceed any applicable minimum guarantee of free transfers per Policy Year.

Example

A Policy is issued and Accumulated Value is allocated to the Fixed Account with a request to use the first year transfer service. You choose the amount you want transferred each month for the first 12 months of the Policy. If you allocated $20,000 to the Fixed Account and instructed us to transfer $1,000 per month, we will transfer $1,000 for 12 consecutive months. After the 12 months, the service will terminate.

Fixed Option interest sweep

The Fixed Option interest sweep service allows you to make scheduled transfers of the accumulated interest earnings from your Fixed Account or Fixed LT Account to the Variable Investment Options. At the time you complete the election form for the Fixed Option interest sweep service, you will select either the Fixed Account or the Fixed LT Account as the account from which you want to transfer interest earnings. You will also select the Variable Investment Options to which you wish to transfer the interest earnings. Interest earnings subject to transfer under the Fixed Option interest sweep service will begin to accrue on the Policy’s first monthly anniversary following your enrollment in the service. Each transfer must be at least $50. If the fixed account option you selected on the election form does not have interest earnings of at least $50, the transfer will be held until the next scheduled transfer date when the interest earnings are at least $50. Amounts transferred under the Fixed Option interest sweep service do not count against the Fixed Option transfer limitations or Investment Option transfer restrictions.

We do not charge for the Fixed Option interest sweep service and we do not currently charge for transfers made under this service. If imposed, transfer fees could be substantial if total transfers scheduled under this service plus any unscheduled transfers you request exceed any applicable minimum guarantee of free transfers per Policy Year.

Scheduled Indexed Transfer program

Our Scheduled Indexed Transfer program (SIT) allows you to make scheduled transfers from the Fixed Account to the available Indexed Fixed Options. When you complete the form for the SIT, you must specify one of the two available methods to make the allocation: the Specified Amount method or the Period Depletion method.

If you select the Specified Amount method, you will request a specific amount to be transferred. This amount will be transferred until the Fixed Account has been depleted or the number of transfers specified have been completed.

82


If you select the Period Depletion method, you will specify the number of transfers you wish to make. Amounts will be reallocated from the Fixed Account into an Indexed Fixed Option using a declining balance calculation until the Fixed Account has been depleted.

Allocations from the Fixed Account to new segments of an Indexed Fixed Option will occur on the Transfer Date after any other transfers or premium payment allocations have occurred.

83


WITHDRAWALS, SURRENDERS AND LOANS

You can take out all or part of your Policy’s Accumulated Value while your Policy is In Force by making withdrawals or surrendering your Policy. You can take out a loan using your Policy as security. You can also use your Policy’s loan and withdrawal features to supplement your income, for example, during retirement.

Making a withdrawal, taking out a loan or surrendering your Policy can change your Policy’s tax status, generate taxable income, or make your Policy more susceptible to lapsing. Withdrawals and surrenders may have tax consequences, including a possible tax penalty if withdrawn before age 59½. Be sure to plan carefully before using these Policy benefits.

If you withdraw a larger amount than your investment in your Policy, or if your Policy is classified as a Modified Endowment Contract, your withdrawal may be considered taxable income.

For more information on the tax treatment of withdrawals or loans, or in the event you surrender your Policy, see the VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE AND YOUR TAXES section in this prospectus.

Making Withdrawals

You can withdraw part of your Policy’s Net Cash Surrender Value starting on your Policy’s first anniversary. Here’s how it works:

 You must send us a Written Request that’s signed by all owners.

 Each withdrawal must be at least $200, and the Net Cash Surrender Value of your Policy after the withdrawal must be at least $500.

 We will not accept your request to make a withdrawal if it will cause your Policy to become a Modified Endowment Contract, unless you have told us in writing that you want your Policy to become a Modified Endowment Contract.

 We may charge you $25 for each withdrawal you make. (There is no charge currently imposed upon a withdrawal.)

 You can choose to receive your withdrawal in a lump sum or use it to elect an income benefit. Please see the discussion about income benefits in GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR POLICY.

 The Accumulated Value, Cash Surrender Value and Net Cash Surrender Value of your Policy will be reduced by the amount of each withdrawal. The withdrawal will be processed as an Account Deduction.

 If the Survivor dies after you have sent a withdrawal request to us, but before we have made the withdrawal, we will deduct the amount of the withdrawal from any Death Benefit Proceeds owing.

How withdrawals affect your Policy’s Death Benefit

Making a withdrawal will affect your Policy’s Death Benefit in the following ways:

 If your Policy’s Death Benefit does not equal the Minimum Death Benefit, the Death Benefit may decrease by the amount of your withdrawal.

 If your Policy’s Death Benefit equals the Minimum Death Benefit, the Death Benefit may decrease by more than the amount of your withdrawal.

How withdrawals affect your Policy’s Face Amount

If you have chosen Death Benefit Option B or Option C, making a withdrawal does not reduce your Policy’s Total Face Amount.

If you have chosen Death Benefit Option A, then a withdrawal may reduce your Policy’s Total Face Amount; however, the first withdrawal of each year in the first 15 Policy Years up to the lesser of $10,000 or 10% of the Net Cash Surrender Value will not reduce the Policy’s Total Face Amount. If you withdraw a larger amount, or make additional withdrawals, the Total Face Amount will usually be reduced by the amount, if any, by which the Total Face Amount exceeds the result of the Death Benefit immediately before the withdrawal minus the amount of the withdrawal. For Policies with Death Benefit Option A and the Guideline Premium Test election, the Total Face Amount reduction following a withdrawal may be limited to keep the Guideline Premium Limit greater than zero at all times prior to Age 100.

We reserve the right to refuse any withdrawal request that would reduce the Policy’s Total Face Amount to less than $10,000 after the withdrawal.

   
 

An example

 
 

For a Policy with a Total Face Amount of $250,000 and a Surrender Value of $80,000, the Owner may withdraw the lesser of $10,000 or $8,000 (10% × $80,000) without any reduction in Total Face Amount.

Example 1: Owner requests a withdrawal of $6,000. There will be no reduction in Total Face Amount.

Example 2: Owner requests a withdrawal of $10,000. The Total Face Amount reduction is the amount of the withdrawal, less the allowable withdrawal amount, or $2,000 ($10,000 – $8,000 = $2,000). The Total Face Amount following the withdrawal is $248,000 ($250,000 – $2,000 = $248,000).

Taking Out a Loan

You can borrow money from us any time after the free look period. Generally, the minimum amount you can borrow is $200, unless there are other restrictions in your state. See the APPENDIX: STATE LAW VARIATIONS section in this prospectus for a list of state variations to the minimum loan amount. The maximum amount available to borrow is less than 100% of your Accumulated Value.

Taking out a loan will affect the growth of your Policy’s Accumulated Value, and may affect the Death Benefit.

You may request a loan either by sending us a request in writing, over the telephone or electronically. You will find more information about requesting a loan by telephone or electronically in the POLICY BASICS section in this prospectus.

When you borrow money from us, we use your Policy’s Accumulated Value as security. You pay interest on the amount you borrow. The Accumulated Value set aside to secure your loan also earns interest. Here’s how it works:

 To secure the loan, we transfer an amount equal to the amount you are borrowing from your Accumulated Value in the Investment Options to the Loan Account. We will transfer the loan from the Investment Options that make up your Policy’s Accumulated Value to the Loan Account. The loan amount will be processed as an Account Deduction by transferring the amount proportionately from the Fixed Account Value and the Variable Account Value until each have been reduced to zero.

 Interest owing on the amount you have borrowed accrues daily at an annual rate of 2.25%. Interest that has accrued during the Policy Year is due on your Policy Anniversary.

 Taking a loan or making a withdrawal from the Policy that results in a deduction from the Indexed Fixed Options, other than a withdrawal or loan pursuant to a Systematic Distribution Program, will cause a Lockout Period to begin. During the Lockout Period, you may not allocate any Net Premium payments, loan repayments or otherwise transfer Accumulated Value from the Fixed Account into the Indexed Fixed Options. Reallocations for any maturing Segment will be made according to your reallocation instructions.

 The amount in the Loan Account earns interest daily at an annual rate of at least 2.00%. On each Policy Anniversary, if the Policy Debt exceeds the Loan Account Value, then the excess is transferred from your Policy’s Investment Options to the Loan Account on a proportionate basis to the Loan Account. If the Loan Account Value exceeds Policy Debt, then the excess will be transferred from the Loan Account to the Investment Options according to your most recent premium allocation instructions.

 We currently intend to credit interest on the amount in the Loan Account at an annual rate of 2.25% in Policy Year 6 and thereafter. We can decrease the rate credited if we believe the change is needed to ensure that your Policy loan is not treated as a taxable distribution under federal income tax laws, or under any applicable ruling, regulation, or court decision. We will not decrease the annual rate to less than 2.00% on the amount in the Loan Account.

How much you can borrow

The maximum amount you may borrow on any date is equal to the Accumulated Value less:

 Three times the most recent monthly deduction;

 Any surrender charge; and

 Any existing Policy Debt.

   
 

An example of how much you can borrow

 
 

For a Policy in Policy Year 5 with:

 
 

 Accumulated Value of $100,000

 Policy Debt of $60,000

 A most recent monthly deduction of $225

 A surrender charge of $5,000 if the Policy was surrendered on the day the loan is taken.

 
 

The maximum amount you can borrow is $34,325. (100,000 – (3 × 225) – 5,000 – 60,000)

 

Paying off your Policy Debt

You can pay off all or part of the Policy Debt any time while your Policy is In Force. Unless you tell us otherwise, we will generally transfer any loan payments you make proportionately to your Investment Options according to your most recent allocation instructions. We may, however, first transfer any loan payments you make to the Fixed Options or the Indexed Fixed Options, up to the amount originally transferred from the Fixed Options or the Indexed Fixed Options to the Loan Account. We will then transfer any excess amount to your Variable Investment Options and Indexed Fixed Options according to your most recent premium allocation instructions.

While you have Policy Debt, we will treat any money you send us as a loan repayment unless you tell us otherwise in writing.

You can make monthly loan payments using our Electronic Funds Transfer Plan. Please see the HOW PREMIUMS WORK-Paying Your Premium-Monthly Electronic Funds Transfer Plan section in this prospectus for details.

85


What happens if you do not pay off your loan?

If you do not pay off your loan, we will deduct the Policy Debt from one of the following:

 The Death Benefit Proceeds before we pay them to your Beneficiary;

 The Cash Surrender Value if you surrender your Policy.

Taking out a loan, whether or not you repay it, will have a permanent effect on the value of your Policy. For example, while your Policy’s Accumulated Value is held in the Loan Account, it will miss out on all earnings available in the Investment Options. The amount of interest you earn on the Loan Account may also be less than the amount of interest you would have earned from the Fixed Options or the Indexed Fixed Options. These could lower your Policy’s Accumulated Value, which could reduce the amount of the Death Benefit.

When a loan is outstanding, the amount in the Loan Account is not available to help pay for any Policy charges. If, after deducting your Policy Debt, there is not enough Accumulated Value in your Policy to cover the Policy charges, your Policy could lapse. You may need to make additional premium payments or loan repayments to prevent your Policy from lapsing.

Your Policy Debt could result in taxable income if you surrender your Policy, if your Policy lapses, or if your Policy is a Modified Endowment Contract. You should talk to your tax advisor before taking out a loan under your Policy. See the VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE AND YOUR TAXES – Taxation of Distributions section in this prospectus.

Ways to Use Your Policy’s Loan and Withdrawal Features

You can use your Policy’s loan and withdrawal features to supplement your income, for example, during retirement. If you are interested in using your life insurance Policy to supplement your retirement income, please contact us for more information.

Setting up an income stream may not be suitable for all Policy Owners.

Here are some things you should consider when setting up an income stream:

 The rate of return you expect to earn on your Investment Options

 How long you would like to receive regular income

 The amount of Accumulated Value you want to maintain in your Policy.

You can ask your life insurance producer for Illustrations showing how Policy charges may affect existing Accumulated Value and how future withdrawals and loans may affect the Accumulated Value and Death Benefit. You can also ask for accompanying charts and graphs that compare results from various retirement strategies.

Understanding the risks

Using your Policy to supplement your income does not change your rights or our obligations under the Policy. The terms for loans and withdrawals described in this prospectus remain the same. It is important to understand the risks that are involved in using your Policy’s loan and withdrawal features. Use of these features may increase the chance of your Policy lapsing.

You should consult with your financial adviser and carefully consider how much you can withdraw and borrow from your Policy each year to set up your income stream.

Automated Income Option

Our automated income option (“AIO”) program allows you to make scheduled withdrawals or loans. Your Policy is eligible after the 7th Policy Anniversary. To begin the program, you must have a minimum Net Cash Surrender Value of $50,000, and your Policy must not qualify as a Modified Endowment Contract.

You request participation in the AIO program and specify your AIO preferences by sending us an AIO Request Form. If you wish to do so, contact your life insurance producer for an AIO Request Form.

There is no fee to participate in the AIO program. The $25 fee for withdrawals under the AIO program is currently waived.

Withdrawals and loans may reduce Policy values and benefits. They may also increase your risk of lapse. In order to minimize the risk of lapse, you should not take additional loans or withdrawals while you are in the AIO program.

Withdrawals and loans under the AIO program may result in tax liability. Please consult your tax advisor. For more information, see the VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE AND YOUR TAXES section in this prospectus.

You may discontinue participation in the AIO program at any time by sending a Written Request to us.

Detailed information appears in the SAI.

Surrendering Your Policy

You can surrender or cash in your Policy at any time it is In Force.

Here are some things you need to know about surrendering your Policy:

86


 You must send us your Policy and a Written Request.

 If a premium payment of over $1,000 was received within 10 business days of the surrender request, the premium amount received may be withheld from the surrender proceeds until we obtain verification the payment cleared the bank. The amount withheld will be noted on our surrender confirmation letter and a separate letter will be provided when the remainder of the proceeds are disbursed.

 We will send you the Policy’s Net Cash Surrender Value. You can choose to receive your money in a lump sum or use it to elect an income benefit. Please see GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR POLICY – Income Benefit.

 If you surrender your Policy during the first 10 Policy Years, we will deduct a surrender charge.

 Each Basic Coverage Layer has a surrender charge, based on the Face Amount of each Basic Coverage Layer and the Age and Risk Class of either Insured, and the Death Benefit Option, on the date each Coverage Layer is effective. If you request an increase to your Policy’s Basic Coverage Layer Face Amount, we will send you a supplemental schedule of benefits that shows the surrender charge factors associated with the increase.

During the first policy month, the Surrender Charge is equal to the initial amount reduced by 1/12 of the reduction factor. After the first policy month, the surrender charge decreases on each Monthly Payment Date by 1/12 of the Reduction Factor until the charge becomes $0 after the End Year. The Initial Amount, Reduction Factor and End Year are shown in the Table of Surrender Charge Factors in your Policy Specifications.

  
 

Example

 

For a Policy that insures a male non-smoker Age 56 and a female non-smoker Age 53 when the Policy is issued, with a Face Amount of $1,000,000

Initial Amount = $13,600.00
Reduction Factor = $
0.00
End Year = 5

In Years 1 -5, the surrender charge is: $13,600.00

Initial Amount = $13,600.00
Reduction Factor = $
2,720
End Year = 10

In Year 6, Policy month 1, the surrender charge is: $13,373.33 ($13,600.00 – ($2,720.00 ÷ 12))

If there have been decreases in the Basic Coverage Layer Face Amount, including decreases due to withdrawals, the Surrender Charge will not change as a result of the decrease. The Surrender Charge described is the guaranteed maximum charge. We may charge less than such guaranteed maximum charge. Any lesser charge will apply uniformly to all members of the same Class.

In addition, any Coverage Layer representing an increase in Basic Life Coverage will have an associated Surrender Charge and Reduction Factor that will be provided in a Supplemental Schedule of Coverage. The Surrender Charge for any such Coverage Layer will be effective as of the Coverage Layer Date and as of the beginning of each Coverage Year thereafter, and will decrease in the same manner as the initial Basic Life Coverage Layer.

 There is no surrender charge on any Coverage Layer after 10 Policy years from the date the Coverage Layer is effective.

 We guarantee the Surrender Charge rates for any Coverage Layer will not increase.

 If you decrease the Face Amount, the decrease will not affect your Policy’s Surrender Charge.

87


GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR POLICY

This section tells you some additional things you should know about your Policy.

Income Benefit

If you surrender or make a withdrawal from your Policy, you can use the money to elect an income benefit that provides a monthly income. Your Policy’s Beneficiary can use Death Benefit Proceeds to elect an income benefit. In addition to the income benefit described below, you can choose from other income benefits we may make available from time to time.

The following is one income benefit available under the Policy:

 The income benefit is based on the life of the person receiving the income. If the Policy Owner elects the income benefit, monthly income will be based on the Owner’s life. If the Policy’s Beneficiary elects the income benefit, monthly income will be based on the Beneficiary’s life.

 We will pay a monthly income for at least 10 years regardless of whether the person receiving the income is still alive.

 After 10 years, we will only pay the monthly income for as long as the person receiving it is still alive.

 The minimum monthly income benefit calculated must be at least $100.

 For this income benefit, the amount you receive will always be at least as much as the amount guaranteed by your Policy.

Paying the Death Benefit in the Case of Suicide

If both Insureds commit suicide, or if the Survivor commits suicide, within two years of the Policy Date, while sane or insane, Death Benefit Proceeds will be the total of all premiums you have paid, less any Policy Debt and any withdrawals you have made.

If you reinstate your Policy and both Insureds commit suicide, or if the Survivor commits suicide, while sane or insane, within two years of the latest reinstatement date, the Death Benefit Proceeds will be the sum of the premiums paid, less the sum of any Policy loans and withdrawals taken, since the latest reinstatement date.

If both Insureds commit suicide, or if the Survivor commits suicide, while sane or insane, after two years from the Policy Date but within two years of any increase in Total Face Amount or, if applicable, the latest reinstatement after any such increase, the Death Benefit Proceeds will be limited by the following adjustments:

1) Any such increase in Total Face Amount will be excluded;

2) Refund of the portion of monthly deductions associated with any such increase will be included; and

3) Premium load associated with the portion of monthly deductions referred to in 2) above will be included.

Replacement of Life Insurance or Annuities

The term replacement has a special meaning in the life insurance industry. Before you make a decision to buy, we want you to understand what impact a replacement may have on your existing insurance policy.

A replacement occurs when you buy a new life insurance policy or annuity contract, and a policy or contract you already own has been or will be:

 Lapsed, forfeited, surrendered or partially surrendered, assigned to the replacing insurer, or otherwise terminated;

 Converted to reduced paid-up insurance, continued as extended term insurance, or otherwise reduced in value by the use of nonforfeiture benefits or other policy values;

 Amended to effect either a reduction in benefits or in the term for which coverage would otherwise remain in force or for which benefits would be paid;

 Reissued with any reduction in cash value; or

 Pledged as collateral or subject to borrowing, whether in a single loan or under a schedule of borrowing over a period of time.

There are circumstances when replacing your existing life insurance policy or annuity contract can benefit you. As a general rule, however, replacement is not in your best interest. A replacement may affect your plan of insurance in the following ways:

 You will pay new acquisition costs;

 You may have to submit to new medical examinations;

 You may pay increased premiums because of the increased age or changed health of the Insureds;

 Claims made in the early policy years may be contested;

 You may have to pay surrender charges and/or income taxes on your current policy or contract values;

88


 Your new policy or contract values may be subject to surrender charges; and

 If part of a financed purchase, your existing policy or contract values or Death Benefit may be reduced.

You should carefully compare the costs and benefits of your existing policy or contract with those of the new policy or contract to determine whether replacement is in your best interest.

Policy Exchange

If your Policy is issued in Connecticut, you may exchange this Policy for a policy with benefits that do not vary with the investment results of a separate account. You must request this in writing within 18 months of your Policy Date and return the original Policy.

A policy exchange occurs when exercising a contractual right according to the terms of the Enhanced Policy Split Option Rider or Policy Split Option Rider. Please see the Optional Riders and Benefits section for more information on these riders.

Errors on Your Application

If the sex or Age of either Insured is stated incorrectly on your application and is discovered on or after the death of either Insured, the Death Benefit under your Policy will be the greater of the following:

 The Death Benefit based on a Net Amount At Risk adjusted by the ratio of the incorrect cost of insurance rate to the correct cost of insurance rate for the Insureds sex and Age, or

 The Minimum Death Benefit for the correct sex and Age

If either Insureds sex or Age is misstated in the application and it is discovered before the death of either Insured, we will not recalculate the Accumulated Value, but we will use the correct sex and Age of the Insured in calculating future monthly deductions.

Contesting the Validity of Your Policy

We have the right to contest the validity of your Policy for two years from the Policy Date. Once your Policy has been In Force for two years from the Policy Date during the lifetime of the Insureds, we generally lose the right to contest its validity.

We also have the right to contest the validity of a Policy that you reinstate for two years from the day that it was reinstated. Once your reinstated Policy has been In Force for two years from the reinstatement date during the lifetime of the Insureds, we generally lose the right to contest its validity. During this period, we may contest your Policy only if there is a material misrepresentation on your application for reinstatement.

We have the right to contest the validity of an increase in the Face Amount of a Policy for two years from the day the increase becomes effective. Once the increased Face Amount has been In Force for two years during the lifetime of the Insureds, we generally lose the right to contest its validity.

Regardless of the above, we can contest the validity of your Policy for failure to pay premiums at any time or if the Policy was procured by fraud. The Policy will terminate upon successful contest with respect to the Insureds.

Assigning Your Policy as Collateral

You may assign your Policy as collateral to secure a loan, mortgage, or other kind of debt. An assignment will take place only when we receive and record your signed Collateral Assignment Form. When recorded, the assignment will take effect as of the date the form was signed. Any rights created by the assignment will be subject to any payments made or actions taken by us before we record the change. We will not be responsible for the validity of any assignment. Please contact us for a Collateral Assignment Form if you would like to assign your Policy.

Non-participating

This Policy will not share in any of our surplus earnings.

Policy Changes

We reserve the right to make any change to the provisions of this Policy to comply with, or give you the benefit of, any federal or state statute, rule, or regulation, including but not limited to requirements for life insurance contracts under the Tax Code or of any state. We will provide you with a copy of any such change, and file such a change with the insurance supervisory official of the state in which this Policy is delivered, and any other applicable regulatory authority. You have the right to refuse any such change.

Lost Policy

If you lose your Policy, you may request a Certificate of Coverage free of charge. If you require a duplicate Policy, we may charge a fee of $50 per duplicate. To request a Certificate of Coverage or a duplicate Policy, please contact us for a Certificate of Insurance/ Duplicate Policy Request Form.

89


Audits of Premiums/Loans

You may request us to run a report of premium payments you have made or loan transactions under your Policy. If you request us to provide information for a period of more than 2 years from date of request, we may charge you an administrative fee of $25 for this service.

Risk Class Change

If you have a change in Risk Class, such as a change in smoking status or health, you can request us to review your Risk Class. Changing your Risk Class may change the rates used for cost of insurance and may also change the rates on any Riders on your Policy which base charges on Risk Class. We may charge you a fee of up to $100 at the time you request us to change your Risk Class.

90


VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE AND YOUR TAXES

The tax consequences of owning a Policy or receiving proceeds from it may vary by jurisdiction and according to the circumstances of each Owner or Beneficiary.

The following is based on our understanding of the present federal income tax laws as they are currently interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). It is based on the Internal Revenue Code (the Tax Code) and does not cover any state or local tax laws. More detailed information appears in the SAI.

We do not know whether the current treatment of life insurance policies under current federal income tax or estate or gift tax laws will continue. We also do not know whether the current interpretations of the laws by the IRS or the courts will remain the same. Future legislation may adversely change the tax treatment of life insurance policies. This may affect the performance and underlying tax assumptions of this Policy, including any Riders. In some cases, these changes could result in a decrease in Policy values or lapse.

We do not make any guarantees about the tax status of your Policy, and you should not consider the discussion that follows to be tax advice. This is not a complete discussion of all federal income tax questions that may arise under a Policy. There are special rules that we do not include here that may apply in certain situations. Speak to a qualified tax advisor for complete information about federal, state and local taxes that may apply to you.

The Policy as Life Insurance

Death benefits from a life insurance policy may generally be excluded from income under Section 101(a) of the Tax Code unless an interest in the policy was transferred for valuable consideration, including in a reportable policy sale, as defined in Section 101(a)(3)(B).

We believe that the Policy meets the statutory definition of life insurance for federal income tax purposes. That means it will receive the same tax advantages as a conventional fixed life insurance policy. The two main tax advantages are:

 In general, your Policy’s Beneficiary will not be subject to federal income taxes when he or she receives the Death Benefit Proceeds unless the Policy was acquired through a sale by a previous Owner, or if the Death Benefit Proceeds are received in a series of installments.

 You will generally not be taxed on your Policy’s Accumulated Value unless you receive a cash distribution by making a withdrawal, surrendering your Policy, or in some instances, taking a loan from your Policy or collaterally assigning the Accumulated Value.

Policy Features and Charges

The tax laws defining life insurance, however, do not cover all policy features. Your Policy may have features that could prevent it from qualifying as life insurance. For example, the tax laws have yet to address:

 Substandard risk policies

 Policies with term insurance on the people insured by the policy

 Life insurance policies that continue coverage beyond Age 100 or other advanced ages

 Certain tax requirements relating to joint survivorship life insurance policies.

We intend to follow the safe harbor guidance provided by the IRS in Revenue Procedure 2010-28, 2010-10 I.R.B. 270 on the statutory definition of life insurance contracts that continue beyond age 100, however, the guidance did not address all issues that may impact a contract at these later ages. You should consult your tax advisor, as there may be tax consequences.

The Tax Code and tax regulations impose limitations on unreasonable mortality and expense charges for purposes of determining whether a policy qualifies as life insurance for federal tax purposes. We can change our mortality charges if we believe the changes are needed to ensure that your Policy qualifies as a life insurance contract.

We believe that last survivor policies meet the statutory definition of life insurance under Section 7702 of the Tax Code. However, the area of tax law relating to the definition of life insurance does not explicitly address all relevant issues relating to last survivor life insurance policies.

We reserve the right to make changes to the Policy if we deem the changes appropriate to continue to qualify your Policy as a life insurance contract. If a Policy were determined not to qualify as life insurance, the Policy would not provide the tax advantages normally provided by life insurance. This includes excluding the Death Benefit from the gross income of the Beneficiary.

Diversification Rules and Ownership of the Separate Account

Your Policy will not qualify for the tax benefit of a life insurance contract unless, among other requirements, the Separate Account follows certain rules requiring diversification of investments underlying the Policy. Section 817(h) of the Tax Code and related Treasury Regulations describe the diversification rules.

91


For a variable life insurance policy to qualify for tax deferral, assets in the separate accounts supporting the policy must be considered to be owned by the insurance company and not by the policy owner. If a policy owner is treated as having control over the underlying assets, the policy owner will be taxed currently on income and gains from the account and in such a case of “investor control” the policy owner would not derive the tax benefits normally associated with variable life insurance.

For more information about diversification rules, please refer to the Pacific Select Fund prospectus. For more information regarding investor control, please refer to the policy SAI.

Policy Exchanges

Policy exchanges fall under Section 1035(a) of the Tax Code.

If you exchange your policy for another one that insures the same people, it generally will be treated as a tax-free exchange and, if so, will not result in the recognition of gain or loss unless you no longer have a substantial family, business, or financial relationship with the insured. In that case, the exchange of the policy is considered a reportable policy sale that may result in current taxation of any gain in the policy at the time of the sale and also subject a portion of the death benefit to taxation. If any of the people insured by the policy are changed, the exchange will be treated as a taxable exchange.

Change of Ownership

You may have taxable income if you transfer ownership of your Policy, sell your Policy, or change the ownership of it in any way. This may include the transfer or sale of any entity or business that owns a Policy. The determination of taxation upon a change of Ownership cannot be determined by Pacific Life. Please consult your tax advisor for advice on your specific situation.

Corporate or Employer Owners

There are special tax issues for employer Owners:

 Section 101(j) of the Tax Code generally provides that Death Benefits paid in connection with certain life insurance policies involving an employer will be taxable income. Employer-involved policies issued or materially modified on or after August 18, 2006 may be subject to income tax liability on the Policy’s Death Benefit unless certain requirements and conditions of Section 101(j) are met.

 Using your Policy to informally fund a promised deferred compensation benefit for executives may have special tax consequences.

 Corporate ownership of a Policy may affect your liability under the alternative minimum tax (Section 56 of the Tax Code) and the environmental tax (Section 59A of the Tax Code).

 Where a business is the Owner of the Policy, Section 264(f) of the Tax Code may disallow a portion of the entity’s interest expense unless, at the time the Policy is issued, the Insured is an officer, director, employee, or 20% owner of the business. If the Policy is later exchanged for a new life insurance Policy, the Insured must meet this exception at the time the new Policy is issued.

Please consult your tax advisor for these and other special rules for employer-involved Policies.

Loans and corporate-owned policies

If you borrow money to buy or carry certain life insurance policies, tax law provisions may limit the deduction of interest. If the taxpayer is an entity that’s a direct or indirect beneficiary of certain life insurance, endowment or annuity contracts, a portion of the entity’s deductions for loan interest may be disallowed, even though this interest may relate to debt that’s completely unrelated to the contract.

Modified Endowment Contracts

Section 7702A of the Tax Code defines a class of life insurance policies known as “Modified Endowment Contracts”. If your Policy is a Modified Endowment Contract, any distributions you receive during the life of the Policy are treated less favorably than under non-MEC life insurance policies. Withdrawals, loans, pledges, assignments and the surrender of your Policy are all considered distributions and may be subject to tax on an income-first basis and a 10% penalty.

When a Policy becomes a Modified Endowment Contract

A life insurance policy becomes a Modified Endowment Contract if, at any time during the first seven policy years, the sum of actual premiums paid exceeds the seven-pay limit. The seven-pay limit is the cumulative total of the level annual premiums (or seven-pay premiums) required to pay for the policy’s future death and endowment benefits.

   
 

An Example

 
 

For a policy with seven-pay premiums of $1,000 a year, the maximum premiums you could pay during the first seven years to avoid modified endowment treatment would be:

 $1,000 in the first year

 $2,000 through the first two years

 $3,000 through the first three years, etc.

 

92


If there is a material change to your Policy, like a change in the Death Benefit, we may have to retest your Policy and restart the seven-pay premium period to determine whether the change has caused the Policy to become a Modified Endowment Contract.

Taxation of Distributions

Tax treatment of distributions from your Policy’s Accumulated Value may be treated differently, depending upon whether your Policy is a Modified Endowment Contract.

   

LIFE INSURANCE POLICY

(non-Modified Endowment Contract)

 

MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACT

Surrendering your Policy

Proceeds are taxed to the extent they exceed the investment in the contract1.

 

Proceeds are taxed to the extent they exceed the investment in the contract. 3

Making a withdrawal

If you make a withdrawal after your Policy has been In Force for 15 years, you will only be taxed on the amount you withdraw that exceeds the investment in the contract.

 

You will be taxed on the amount of the withdrawal that’s considered income (i.e. gain)2.

Special rules apply if you make a withdrawal within the first 15 Policy Years. If there is a reduction in benefits and an applicable distribution of policy value in the prior two years, a portion of the distribution may be taxable.

  

Taking out a loan

You will not pay tax on the loan amount unless your Policy is surrendered, lapses or matures and you have not repaid your Policy Debt.

 

You will be taxed on the amount of the loan that’s considered income, including all previously non-taxed gains.

1 The investment in the contract is generally the premiums you have paid plus any taxable distributions less any withdrawals or premiums previously recovered that were taxable.

2 Income (i.e. gain) is the difference between the Accumulated Value and the investment in the contract.

3 Distributions under Modified Endowment Contracts may be subject to an additional 10% penalty tax.

All Modified Endowment Contracts issued to you in a calendar year by us or our affiliates are treated as a single contract when we calculate whether a distribution amount is subject to tax. In addition, an assignment of policy cash value may be treated as a distribution under the contract.

10% penalty tax on Modified Endowment Contracts

If any amount you receive from a Modified Endowment Contract is taxable, you may also have to pay a penalty tax equal to 10% of the taxable amount. A taxpayer will not have to pay the penalty tax if any of the following exceptions apply:

 You are at least 59½ years old;

 You are receiving an amount because you have become disabled;

 You are receiving an amount that’s part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments, paid out at least annually. These payments may be made for your life or life expectancy or for the joint lives or joint life expectancies of you and your Beneficiaries.

Distributions before a Policy becomes a Modified Endowment Contract

If your Policy fails the seven-pay test and becomes a Modified Endowment Contract, any amount you receive or are deemed to have received during the two years before it became a Modified Endowment Contract may be taxable. The distribution would be treated as having been made in anticipation of the Policy’s failing to meet the seven-pay test.

Federal Estate Taxes

According to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, the federal estate tax exemption amount has been temporarily increased to $10,000,000 per person (indexed for inflation effective for tax years after 2011); the maximum estate tax rate is 40%. For 2021, the indexed exemption amount is $11,700,000. In 2026, the federal estate tax exemption amount is scheduled to revert to $5,000,000 per person (indexed for inflation for years after 2011).

Optional Policy Benefits and Riders

Riders providing Accelerated Death Benefits

If you exercise a Rider that accelerates the Death Benefit under the Policy in connection with certain chronic or terminal illnesses, the amounts received under the Rider may qualify for favorable tax treatment under Section 101(g) of the Tax Code.

93


However, benefits under the Rider that are paid to someone other than a person insured by the Policy will be taxed if either Insured:

 Is a director, officer or employee of the person receiving the benefit, or

 Has a financial interest in a business of the person receiving the benefit.

Payment of an accelerated death benefit will reduce the death benefit, associated cost of insurance charges, and other values under the Policy. Further, the premium limitations and death benefits required for the Policy to qualify as a life insurance policy or avoid being classified as a Modified Endowment Contract under the Tax Code will also be affected.

Benefits paid by accelerating the policy’s death benefit may qualify for favorable tax treatment under Section 101(g) of the Tax Code. Tax treatment of an accelerated death benefit due to terminal illness depends on your life expectancy at the time benefits are accelerated.

Accelerated death benefit payments received due to a chronic illness may be taxable in certain situations, such as when benefit payments are made from multiple policies or when benefit amounts exceed certain IRS limitations (referred to as “per diem” limitations).

Pacific Life cannot determine the taxability of benefit payments. Tax laws relating to accelerated death benefits are complex. Receipt of accelerated death benefits may affect eligibility for public assistance programs such as Medicaid. Clients are advised to consult with qualified and independent legal and tax advisors for more information prior to receiving benefits.

Income payments from Net Cash Value or Death Benefit Proceeds

Your policy contains provisions that allow for all or a portion of the Net Cash Surrender Value or Death Benefit to be paid in a series of installments. In addition, certain policies may have Optional Riders that provide for installment benefits. These installments may be for a certain period of time, or may be payable based upon the life of one or more individuals.

Under the rules of Section 72 of the Tax Code, each payment made will be comprised of two portions: A portion representing a return of the investment in the contract, and the remainder representing interest. The Exclusion Ratio as defined in Section 72(b) is used to determine what amount of each payment is excluded from tax reporting.

The calculation of the Exclusion ratio is based upon these two policy values as of the date the amount of the installment payment is being determined:

 The portion of the Net Cash Surrender Value or Death Benefit Proceeds being applied to the installment benefit;

 The investment in the contract.

The portion of each payment that is treated as a return of the investment in the contract is equal to the Exclusion Ratio multiplied by the Payment Amount. For installments payments that are based upon the life of one or more individuals, once the investment in the contract has been depleted any subsequent payment(s) would be treated as a return of interest and thus fully taxable.

Enhanced Policy Split Option Rider

The exchange of policies under this Rider will not qualify as a tax-free exchange pursuant to Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). It is also possible that exchanging the Policy under this Rider could cause the new policies to become Modified Endowment Contracts as defined in IRC Section 7702A. Such a result could have potential adverse tax consequences. There may be other tax consequences to exchanging your Policy under this Rider. You should consult a qualified tax advisor before any such exchange to make sure you understand how it may affect the tax you owe.

ABOUT PACIFIC LIFE

Pacific Life Insurance Company is a life insurance company domiciled in Nebraska. Along with our subsidiaries and affiliates, our operations include life insurance, annuity, institutional products, mutual funds, broker-dealer operations, and investment and advisory services.

We were originally organized on January 2, 1868, under the name “Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company of California” and reincorporated as “Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company” on July 22, 1936. On September 1, 1997, we converted from a mutual life insurance company to a stock life insurance company ultimately controlled by a mutual holding company and were authorized by California regulatory authorities to change our name to Pacific Life Insurance Company. On September 1, 2005, Pacific Life changed from a California corporation to a Nebraska corporation. Pacific Life is a subsidiary of Pacific LifeCorp, a holding company, which, in turn, is a subsidiary of Pacific Mutual Holding Company, a mutual holding company. Under their respective charters, Pacific Mutual Holding Company must always hold at least 51% of the outstanding voting stock of Pacific LifeCorp, and Pacific LifeCorp must always own 100% of the voting stock of Pacific Life. Owners of Pacific Life’s annuity contracts and life insurance policies have certain membership interests in Pacific Mutual Holding Company, consisting principally of the right to vote on the election of the Board of Directors of the mutual holding company and on other matters, and certain rights upon liquidation or dissolutions of the mutual holding company.

Our executive office is at 700 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, California 92660.

How Our Accounts Work

We own the assets in our General Account and our Separate Account. We allocate your Net Premiums to these accounts according to the Investment Options you have chosen.

General Account

Our General Account includes all of our assets, except for those held in our separate accounts. We guarantee you an interest rate for up to one year on any amount allocated to the Fixed Options or the Indexed Fixed Options. The rate is reset annually. The Fixed Options and Indexed Fixed Options are part of our General Account, which we may invest as we wish, according to any laws that apply. We will credit at least the guaranteed rate even if the investments we make earn less. Unlike the Separate Account, the General Account is subject to liabilities arising from any of our other business. Our obligations under the Policy which include the death benefit and other benefits provided under any rider, are paid from the General Account. Our ability to pay these guarantees is backed by our financial strength and claims paying ability as a company. You must look to the company’s strength with regard to policy guarantees. We can provide you with reports of our ratings as an insurance company and our ability to pay claims with respect to our General Account assets.

The Fixed Options and Indexed Fixed Options are not securities, so they do not fall under any securities act. However, other federal securities laws will apply to the accuracy and completeness of the disclosure about the Fixed Options or the Indexed Fixed Options.

Separate Account

Amounts allocated to the Variable Investment Options are held in our Separate Account. The assets in this account are kept separate from the assets in our General Account and our other separate accounts, and are protected from our general creditors. The assets of the Separate Account may not be used to pay any liabilities of the Company other than those arising from the Policies and any other policies supported by the Separate Account..

The Separate Account is divided into Variable Accounts. Each Variable Account invests in shares of a corresponding Fund. Information regarding the Funds available through the Separate Account, including the Fund name, investment objective, the investment adviser and any sub-adviser, current expenses, and performance is available in an appendix to this Prospectus. See the APPENDIX: FUNDS AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY section in this prospectus. Each Fund has issued a prospectus that contains more detailed information about each Fund, and may be found at www.PacificLife.com.

We are the legal owner of the assets in the Separate Account, and pay its operating expenses. We do not hold ourselves out to be trustees of the Separate Account assets. The Separate Account is operated only for our variable life insurance policies. Pacific Life is obligated to pay all amounts promised to Policy Owners under the terms of the Policy. We must keep assets in the Separate Account equal to the reserves and policy liabilities (i.e. amounts at least equal to the aggregate variable account value) sufficient to pay obligations under the insurance policies funded by the Separate Account and may only transfer to the General Account assets of the Separate Account which exceed such reserves and Policy liabilities. Some of the money in the Separate Account may include charges we collect from the account and any investment results on those charges.

Income, gains, and losses credited to, or charged against, the Separate Account reflect the Separate Account’s own investment experience and not the investment experience of our other assets.

Similarly, the income, gains or losses, realized or unrealized, of the assets of any Variable Account belong to that Variable Account and are credited to or charged against the assets held in that Variable Account without regard to our other income, gains or losses.

Making changes to the Separate Account

We can add, change or remove any Fund that the Separate Account or any Variable Account holds or buys.

95


We can substitute shares of one Fund with shares of another Fund if:

 Any Fund is no longer available for investment; or

 Our management believes that a Fund is no longer appropriate in view of the purposes of the Policy.

We will give you any required notice or receive any required approval from Policy Owners or the SEC before we substitute any shares. We will comply with the filing or other procedures established by insurance regulators as required by law.

We can add new Variable Accounts, which may include additional subaccounts of the Separate Account, to serve as Investment Options under the Policies. These may be managed separate accounts or they may invest in a new Fund, or in shares of another investment company or one of its portfolios, or in a suitable investment vehicle with a specified investment objective.

We can add new Variable Accounts when we believe that it is warranted by marketing needs or investment conditions. We will decide on what basis we will make new Variable Accounts available to existing Policy Owners.

We can also cease offering any of our Variable Accounts if we believe marketing, tax, or investment conditions warrant it. If we cease offering any Variable Account, we will provide any required notice or receive any required approval from Policy Owners or the SEC, as applicable.

If we make any changes to Variable Accounts or substitution of Funds, we can make appropriate changes to this Policy or any of our other policies, by appropriate endorsement, to reflect the change or substitution.

If we believe it is in the best interests of people holding voting rights under the Policies and we meet any required regulatory approvals we can do the following:

 Operate the Separate Account as a management investment company, unit investment trust, or any other form permitted under securities or other laws (the Separate Account’s current form is a unit investment trust);

 Register or deregister the Separate Account under the Investment Company Act (the Separate Account is currently registered);

 Combine the Separate Account with one of our other separate accounts or our affiliates’ separate accounts;

 Combine one or more Variable Accounts;

 Create a committee, board or other group to manage the Separate Account;

 Change the classification of any Variable Account.

Taxes we pay

We may be charged for state and local taxes. Currently, we pay these taxes because they are small amounts with respect to the Policy. If these taxes increase significantly, we may deduct them from the Separate Account.

We may charge the Separate Account for any federal, state and local taxes that apply to the Separate Account or to our operations. This could happen if our tax status or the tax treatment of variable life insurance changes.

Voting Rights

We are the legal owner of the shares of the Funds that are held by the Variable Accounts. We may vote on any matter at shareholder meetings of the Funds. However, we are required by law to vote as you instruct on the shares relating to your allocation in a Variable Investment Option. This is called your voting interest.

Your voting interest is calculated as of a day set by the Board of Trustees or Board of Directors of a Fund, called the record date. Your voting interest equals the Accumulated Value in a Variable Investment Option divided by the net asset value of a share of the corresponding Fund. Fractional shares are included. If allowed by law, we may change how we calculate your voting interest.

We will send you documents from the Fund called proxy materials. They include information about the items you will be voting on and forms for you to give us your instructions. We will vote shares held in the Separate Account for which we do not receive voting instructions in the same proportion as all other shares in the Fund held by the Separate Account for which we have received timely instructions. If we do not receive any voting instructions for the shares in a separate account, we will vote the shares in the same proportion as the total votes for all of our separate accounts for which we have received timely instructions. As a result of proportional voting, the votes cast by a small number of policy owners may determine the outcome of a vote.

We will vote shares of any Fund we hold in our General Account in the same proportion as the total votes for all of our separate accounts, including this Separate Account. We will vote shares of any Fund held by any of our non-insurance affiliates in the same proportion as the total votes for all of our separate accounts and those of our insurance affiliates.

If the law changes to allow it, we can vote as we wish on shares of the Fund(s) held in the Separate Account.

When required by state insurance regulatory authorities, we may disregard voting instructions that:

 Would change a Fund’s investment objective or subclassification;

96


 Would approve or disapprove an investment advisory contract.

We may disregard voting instructions on a change initiated by Policy Owners that would change a Fund’s investment policy, investment adviser or Fund manager if:

 Our disapproval is reasonable;

 We determine in good faith that the change would be against state law or otherwise be inappropriate, considering the Fund’s objectives and purpose, and considering what effect the change would have on us.

If we disregard any voting instructions, we will include a summary of the action we took and our reasons for it in the next report to Policy Owners.

Distribution Arrangements

Pacific Select Distributors, LLC (“PSD”), a broker-dealer and our subsidiary, pays various forms of sales compensation to broker-dealers (including other affiliates) that solicit applications for the Policies. PSD also may reimburse other expenses associated with the promotion and solicitation of applications for the Policies.

We offer the Policies for sale through broker-dealers that have entered into selling agreements with PSD. Broker-dealers sell the Policies through their financial professionals who have been appointed by us to sell our products. PSD pays compensation to broker-dealers for the promotion and sale of the Policies. The individual financial professional who sells you a Policy typically will receive a portion of the compensation, under the representative’s own arrangement with his or her broker-dealer.

Commissions are based on “target” premiums we determine. The commissions we pay vary with the agreement, but the most common schedule of commissions we pay is:

 100% of premiums paid up to the first target premium

 33.50% of premiums paid up to the second target premium

 2.50% of premiums paid under targets 3-10

 1.00% of premiums paid in excess of the 10th target premium.

Your financial professional typically receives a portion of the compensation that is payable to his or her broker-dealer in connection with the Policy, depending on the agreement between your financial professional and his or her firm. Pacific Life is not involved in determining that compensation arrangement, which may present its own incentives or conflicts. You may ask your financial professional how he/she will personally be compensated for the transaction.

PSD or an affiliate may pay broker-dealers an annual renewal commission of up to 0.10% of a Policy’s Accumulated Value less any Policy Debt. We calculate the renewal amount monthly and it becomes payable on each Policy Anniversary.

In addition to the commissions described above, we and/or an affiliate may pay additional cash compensation from their own resources in connection with the promotion and solicitation of applications for the Policies by some, but not all, broker-dealers. The range of additional cash compensation based on premiums payments usually ranges from 0% to 14.50% of premiums paid up to the first target premium, but generally does not exceed 1.00% of commissions paid on premium thereafter. Such additional compensation may give Pacific Life greater access to financial professionals of the broker-dealers that receive such compensation. While this greater access provides the opportunity for training and other educational programs so that your financial professional may serve you better, this additional compensation also may afford Pacific Life a “preferred” status at the recipient broker-dealer and provide some other marketing benefit such as website placement, access to financial professional lists, extra marketing assistance, or other heightened visibility and access to the broker-dealer’s sales force that otherwise influences the way that the broker-dealer and the financial professional market the Policies.

We may also provide compensation to broker-dealers for providing ongoing service in relation to Policies that have already been purchased.

Additional Compensation and Revenue Sharing

To the extent permitted by SEC and FINRA rules and other applicable laws and regulations, selling broker dealers may receive additional payments in the form of cash, other special compensation or reimbursement of expenses, sometimes called “revenue sharing”. These additional compensation or reimbursement arrangements may include, for example, payments in connection with the firm’s “due diligence” examination of the Policies, payments for providing conferences or seminars, sales or training programs for invited life insurance producers and other employees, payments for travel expenses, including lodging, incurred by life insurance producers and other employees for such seminars or training programs, seminars for the public, advertising and sales campaigns regarding the Policies, and payments to assist a firm in connection with its administrative systems, operations and marketing expenses and/or other events or activities sponsored by the firms. Subject to applicable FINRA rules and other applicable laws and regulations, PSD and its affiliates may contribute to, as well as sponsor, various educational programs, sales contests and/or promotions in which participating firms and their sales persons may receive prizes such as merchandise, cash, or other awards. Such additional

97


compensation may give us greater access to life insurance producers of the broker-dealers that receive such compensation or may otherwise influence the way that a broker-dealer and life insurance producer market the Policies.

These arrangements may not be applicable to all firms, and the terms of such arrangements may differ between firms. We provide additional information on special compensation or reimbursement arrangements involving selling firms and other financial institutions in the Statement of Additional Information, which is available upon request. Any such compensation, which may be significant at times, will not result in any additional direct charge to you by us.

The compensation and other benefits provided by PSD or its affiliates, may be more or less than the overall compensation on similar or other products. This may influence your life insurance producer or broker-dealer to present this Policy over other investment vehicles available in the marketplace. You may ask your life insurance producer about these differing and divergent interests, how he/she is personally compensated and how his/her broker-dealer is compensated for soliciting applications for the Policy.

We may agree to waive or reduce some or all of such charges and/or credit additional amounts under our Policies, for those Policies sold to persons who meet criteria established by us, who may include current and retired officers, directors and employees of us and our affiliates, trustees of the Pacific Select Fund, financial professionals and employees of broker/dealers with a current selling agreement with us and their affiliates, and immediate family members of such persons (“Eligible Persons”). We will credit additional amounts to Policies owned by Eligible Persons. If such Policies are purchased directly through Pacific Select Distributors, LLC (PSD), Eligible Persons will not be afforded the benefit of services of any other broker/dealer and will bear the responsibility of determining whether a variable life insurance Policy, optional benefits and underlying Investment Options are appropriate, taking into consideration age, income, net worth, tax status, insurance needs, financial objectives, investment goals, liquidity needs, time horizon, risk tolerance and other relevant information. In addition, Eligible Persons who purchased their Policy through PSD, must contact us directly with servicing questions, Policy changes and other matters relating to their Policies.

The amount credited to Policies owned by Eligible Persons will equal the reduction in expenses we enjoy by not incurring brokerage commissions in selling such Policies, with the determination of the expense reduction and of such crediting being made in accordance with our administrative procedures. These credits will be added to an eligible persons Policy after the Free Look Transfer Date has occurred, or, if premiums are paid using the monthly Electronic Funds Transfer plan, on the first Policy Anniversary.

Fund managers of the underlying Funds available under this Policy may help pay for conferences or meetings sponsored by us or PSD relating to management of the Funds and our variable life insurance products.

Please refer to the SAI for additional information on distribution arrangements and the conflicts of interest that they may present.

Service Arrangements

We have entered into administrative and/or service agreements with certain Funds or Fund affiliates which pay us for administrative and other services, including, but not limited to, certain communications and support services. The fees are based on an annual percentage of average daily net assets of certain Fund portfolios purchased by us at Policy Owner’s instructions. Currently, the fees received do not exceed an annual percentage of 0.40% and each Fund may not pay the same annual percentage. Because we receive such fees, we may be subject to competing interests in making these Funds available as Investment Options under the Policies.

State Regulation

On September 1, 2005, Pacific Life redomesticated to Nebraska. We are subject to the laws of the state of Nebraska governing insurance companies and to regulations issued by the Commissioner of Insurance of Nebraska. In addition, we are subject to the insurance laws and regulations of the other states and jurisdictions in which we are licensed or may become licensed to operate.

An annual statement in a prescribed form must be filed with the Commissioner of Insurance of Nebraska and with regulatory authorities of other states on or before March 1st in each year. This statement covers our operations for the preceding year and our financial condition as of December 31st of that year. Our affairs are subject to review and examination at any time by the Commissioner of Insurance or his agents, and subject to full examination of our operations at periodic intervals.

Legal Proceedings and Legal Matters

In the ordinary course of business, we, like other insurance companies, are subject to various legal proceedings (including class actions). It is not possible to predict with certainty the ultimate outcome of any pending legal proceeding, however, at the present time, we believe that we, the Separate Account, and PSD are not involved in any legal proceeding that would have a material adverse effect on the Separate Account, the ability of PSD to perform its duties as distributor, or on our ability to meet our obligations under the Policy.

Financial Statements

Pacific Life’s financial statements and the financial statements of Pacific Select Exec Separate Account are contained in the Statement of Additional Information.

1To help limit Fund expenses, Fund advisers have contractually agreed to reduce investment advisory fees or otherwise reimburse certain of their Funds which reflect temporary fee reductions. There can be no assurance that Fund expense waivers or reimbursements will be extended beyond their current terms as outlined in each Fund prospectus, and they may not cover certain expenses such as extraordinary expenses. See each Fund prospectus for complete information regarding these arrangements.

2Effective May 1, 2021, transfer requests and future premium allocations designated to the Lord Abbett Developing Growth Portfolio Class VC Investment Option will no longer be accepted.

3As of April 26, 2024, the denoted Funds were merged from American Century Variable Portfolios, Inc. (“ACVP”) and American Century Variable Portfolios II, Inc. (“ACVP II”) into a substantially similar series and class of Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIPT”). The historical performance values shown in the Fund Appendix have been carried over from the corresponding ACVP and ACVP II Funds which were merged into the denoted LVIPT Funds.

4Issuers in the utilities industry include issuers engaged in the manufacture, production, generation, transmission, sale or distribution of electric, gas or other types of energy, and issuers engaged in telecommunications, including wireless, telephone, and cable (but not engaged in public broadcasting).

5Effective May 1, 2014, transfer requests and future premium allocations designated to the Pacific Select Fund Small-Cap Growth investment option will no longer be accepted.

ALLOWABLE INVESTMENT OPTIONS

If you elect the Flexible Duration No-Lapse Guarantee Rider, at initial purchase and during the entire time that you own the Rider, you must allocate 100% of your Accumulated Value only to allowable Investment Options. If you do not allocate your entire Accumulate Value according to any applicable requirements, your Rider may terminate.

110


 

Allowable Investment Options

Currently, all available Investment Options are allowable Investment Options for rider purposes.

We may add or remove allowable Investment Options at any time. Following a change, your current allocation of Accumulated Value may not comply with our revised allocation requirements for the Rider. As a result, you will be required to reallocate your Policy Accumulated Value to the revised allowable Investment Options in order to maintain the Rider benefits. We have the right to significantly reduce the number of allowable Investment Options even to a single conservative Investment Option. Our right to add or remove allowable Investment Options may limit the number of Investment Options that are otherwise available to you under the Policy. Please discuss with your financial professional if this Policy and Rider are appropriate for you given our right to make changes to the allowable Investment Options.

We may make such a change due to a Fund reorganization, Fund substitution, Fund liquidation, or to help protect our ability to provide the guarantees under the Rider (for example, changes in an underlying Fund’s investment objective and principal investment strategies, or changes in general market conditions). If such a change is required, we will provide you with reasonable notice (generally 90 calendar days) prior to the effective date of such change to allow you to reallocate your Accumulated Value to maintain your Rider benefits. If you do not reallocate your Accumulated Value to comply with the new Rider allocation requirements, your Rider will terminate.

We will send you written notice in the event any transaction made by you will cause the Rider to terminate for failure to invest according to the investment allocation requirements. However, you will have at least 20 calendar days starting from the date of our written notice, to instruct us to take appropriate corrective action to continue the Rider. If you take appropriate corrective action and continue the Rider, the Rider benefits and features available immediately before the terminating event will remain in effect.

The investment allocation requirements are designed to reduce risk and may reduce overall volatility in investment performance, which may reduce investment returns. In turn, they may also limit the potential growth of your Policy and its benefits. This may conflict with your personal investment objectives.

GENERAL INFORMATION AND HISTORY

How We Are Organized

Pacific Life was established on January 2, 1868 under the name, Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company of California. It was reincorporated as Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company on July 22, 1936. On September 1, 1997, Pacific Life converted from a mutual life insurance company to a stock life insurance company. Pacific Life redomesticated to Nebraska on September 1, 2005. Pacific Life is a subsidiary of Pacific LifeCorp, a holding company, which in turn is a subsidiary of Pacific Mutual Holding Company, a mutual holding company.

Under their charters, Pacific Mutual Holding Company must always hold at least 51% of the outstanding voting stock of Pacific LifeCorp. Pacific LifeCorp must always own 100% of the voting stock of Pacific Life. Owners of Pacific Life’s annuity contracts and life insurance policies have certain membership interests in Pacific Mutual Holding Company. They have the right to vote on the election of the Board of Directors of the mutual holding company and on other matters. They also have certain rights if the mutual holding company is liquidated or dissolved.

The Separate Account

The Separate Account was established on May 12, 1988 under California law under the authority of our Board of Directors, and is now governed by the laws of the State of Nebraska as a result of Pacific Life’s redomestication to Nebraska on September 1, 2005. It is registered with the SEC as a type of investment company called a unit investment trust. The SEC does not oversee the administration or investment practices or policies of the Separate Account.

The Separate Account is not the only investor in the Funds. Investments in the Funds by other separate accounts for variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts could cause conflicts. For more information, please see the Statement of Additional Information for the Funds.

Pursuant to Commodity Futures Trading Commission Rule 4.5, Pacific Life has claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act. Therefore, it is not subject to registration or regulation as a commodity pool operator under the Commodity Exchange Act.

PREMIUM LIMITATIONS

Federal tax law puts limits on the amount of premium payments you can make in relation to your Policy’s Death Benefit. These limits apply in the following situations.

Guideline Premium Limit

If you have chosen the Guideline Premium Test as your Death Benefit Qualification Test, the total amount you can pay in premiums and still have your Policy qualify as life insurance is your Policy’s Guideline Premium Limit. The sum of the premiums paid, less any withdrawals, at any time cannot exceed the Guideline Premium Limit, which is the greater of:

 the guideline single premium or

 the sum of the guideline level annual premiums.

We may refuse to accept all or part of a premium payment if, by accepting it, you will exceed your Policy’s Guideline Premium Limit. If we find that you have exceeded your Guideline Premium Limit, we may remove all or part of a premium you have paid from your Policy as of the day we applied it, and return it to you. We will adjust the Death Benefit retroactively to that date to reflect the reduction in premium payments.

Your Policy’s guideline single premium and guideline level annual premiums appear on your Policy Specifications. Before you buy a Policy, you can ask us or your life insurance producer for a personalized Illustration that will show you the guideline single premium and guideline level annual premiums.

1


Modified Endowment Contract

A life insurance policy will become a Modified Endowment Contract if the sum of premium payments made during the first seven contract years, less a portion of withdrawals, exceeds the seven-pay limit defined in Section 7702A of the Internal Revenue Code. You will find a detailed discussion of Modified Endowment Contracts in VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE AND YOUR TAXES in the prospectus.

Unless you have told us in writing that you want your Policy to become a Modified Endowment Contract, we will remove all or part of the premium payment from your Policy as of the day we applied it and return it to you. We will also adjust the Death Benefit retroactively to that date to reflect the reduction in premium payments. If we receive such a premium within 30 days before your Policy Anniversary, we will hold it and apply it to your Policy on the Policy Anniversary.

In both of these situations, if we remove an excess premium from your Policy, we will return the premium amount to you no later than 60 days after the end of the Policy Year. We may adjust the amount for interest or for changes in Accumulated Value that relate to the amount of the excess premium we are returning to you.

If we do not return the premium amount to you within that time, we will increase your Policy’s Death Benefit retroactively, to the day we applied the premium, and prospectively so that it is always the amount necessary to ensure your Policy qualifies as life insurance, or to prevent it from becoming a Modified Endowment Contract. If we increase your Death Benefit, we will adjust cost of insurance or Rider charges retroactively and prospectively to reflect the increase.

Increasing the Net Amount At Risk

An increase in the Net Amount At Risk occurs if the Policy’s Death Benefit is equal to the Minimum Death Benefit, or would be equal to it once we apply your premium payment. We may choose to accept your premium payment in this situation, but before we do so, we may require satisfactory evidence of the insurability of both Insureds.

TRANSFER SERVICES

You may only participate in one transfer service at any time.

Dollar Cost Averaging

Our dollar cost averaging service allows you to make scheduled transfers of $50 or more between Variable Investment Options without paying a transfer fee. Here is how the service works:

 You can set up this service at any time while your Policy is In Force.

 You need to complete a request form to enroll in the service. You may enroll by telephone or electronically if we have your completed telephone and electronic authorization on file.

 You must have at least $5,000 in a Variable Investment Option to start the service.

 We will automatically transfer Accumulated Value from one Variable Investment Option to one or more of the other Variable Investment Options you have selected.

 We will process transfers as of the end of the Business Day on your Policy’s monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual anniversary, depending on the interval you have chosen. We will not make the first transfer until after the Free Look Transfer Date in states that require us to return your premiums if you exercise your Free Look Right.

 We will not charge you for the dollar cost averaging service or for transfers made under this service, even if we decide to charge you in the future for transfers outside of the service, except if we have to by law.

 We have the right to discontinue, modify or suspend the service at any time.

 We will keep making transfers at the intervals you have chosen until one of the following happens:

 the total amount you have asked us to transfer has been transferred

2


 there is no more Accumulated Value in the Investment Option you are transferring from

 your Policy enters the Grace Period and is in danger of lapsing

 we receive your Written Request to cancel the service

 we discontinue the service.

Portfolio Rebalancing

The portfolio rebalancing service automatically transfers your Policy’s Accumulated Value among the Variable Investment Options according to your original percentage allocations. Here is how the service works:

 You can set up this service at any time while your Policy is In Force.

 You enroll in the service by completing a request form to enroll in the service.

 Unless you choose a different start date, your first rebalancing will take place at the end of the Business Day we receive your request. Subsequent rebalancing will take place at the end of the Business Day on your Policy’s monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual anniversary, depending on the interval you chose.

 You must be invested in two or more Variable Investment Options in order to elect portfolio rebalancing. The available Fixed Options are not included in portfolio rebalancing.

 We will not make the first transfer until after the Free Look Transfer Date, if your Policy was issued in a state that requires us to return your premiums if you exercise your Free Look Right.

 If you cancel this service, you must wait 30 days to begin it again.

 We do not charge for the portfolio rebalancing service, and we do not currently charge for transfers made under this service.

 We can discontinue, suspend or change the service at any time.

First Year Transfer

Our first year transfer service allows you to make transfers from the Fixed Account to the Variable Investment Options or the Fixed LT Account during the first 12 Policy months from the date your initial premium is applied to your Policy. Here is how the service works:

 You enroll in the service when you apply for your Policy using the New Business Variable Life Optional Services form.

 You choose amounts to be transferred for 12 months from the payment date.

 Transfers under the first year transfer service take place on your Policy’s Monthly Payment Date, starting on the first Monthly Payment Date following the Free Look Transfer Date.

 If you sign up for this service, we will waive the usual transfer limit for the Fixed Account during the first 12 Policy months from the date your initial premium is applied to your Policy.

 If program ends during the second Policy Year, we will not count it toward the usual one transfer per year for the Fixed Account.

 If the Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account is less than the amount to be transferred, we will transfer the balance and then cancel the service.

 If there is Accumulated Value remaining in the Fixed Account at the end of the service, the transfer limitations for the Fixed Account will apply.

 We do not charge for the first year transfer service, and we do not currently charge for transfers made under this service.

3


Fixed Option Interest Sweep

The Fixed Option interest sweep service allows you to make scheduled transfers of the accumulated interest earnings from any available Fixed Options to the Variable Investment Options. Here is how the service works:

 You can set up this service at any time while your Policy is In Force.

 You enroll in the service by sending us a Written Request.

 You may enroll by telephone or electronically if we have your completed telephone and electronic authorization on file.

 If you cancel this service, you must wait 30 days to begin it again.

 We do not charge for the Fixed Option interest sweep service, and we do not currently charge for transfers made under this service.

 We can discontinue, suspend or change the service at any time.

 Interest earnings transferred from any available Fixed Options to the Variable Investment Options are excluded from the transfer limitations.

WITHDRAWAL FEATURES

Automated Income Option

Our automated income option (“AIO”) program allows you to make scheduled withdrawals or loans. Here is how the program works:

 You can set up the income stream from your Policy on either a monthly or annual basis. Each scheduled income payment must be at least $500 if you choose to receive monthly payments, or $1,000 if you choose annual payments.

 You may choose to receive either a fixed amount of income or an amount based on a fixed duration. Depending upon your objectives, you may wish to reduce your Face Amount or change your Policy’s Death Benefit Option in order to maximize your income.

 You can choose the scheduled income payment date. You may elect to have your income payments sent either by check or by electronic deposit to a bank account. The effective date of the withdrawal or loan will be the Business Day before any income payment date.

 If the scheduled income payment date falls on a weekend or holiday, the actual income payment date will be the Business Day before the scheduled income payment date.

 The withdrawal or loan will be taken from your Policy’s Investment Options in proportion to the Accumulated Value in each Investment Option.

Upon our receipt of your AIO request form, we will run a hypothetical Illustration to determine if your request can be fulfilled, or if any adjustments will be necessary. We use the Illustration to test your Policy for the minimum Net Cash Surrender Value requirement. Your Policy must continue to have an illustrated Net Cash Surrender Value at the maturity date sufficient to meet the minimum Accumulated Value required to allow for payment of Policy charges, including Policy loan interest.

Illustrations generally will be run at an annual gross earnings rate chosen by you, not to exceed 12%. No earnings rate used is a guarantee or indication of actual earnings.

We will complete an AIO agreement form, and send it and the Illustration to your life insurance producer for delivery to you. The AIO agreement form will confirm your income payment amount, frequency and duration, and will also confirm your Policy’s cost basis and other information about your elections under the AIO program.

Unless you request otherwise, distributions under the AIO program will be taken first as withdrawals if not taxable, then they will be taken as loans.

4


Payments under the AIO program will begin as scheduled once we receive your signed AIO agreement form. We will send you a letter confirming the date and amount of the first income payment.

The income payments will usually remain constant during each income period, unless there is insufficient Net Cash Surrender Value to make a payment. The duration of each income period is one year, except that the first income period may differ depending on the following:

 If the AIO program start date is six months or more from your next Policy Anniversary, the income period will end on the next Policy Anniversary. In this case, the first income period will last at least six months, but not more than one year.

 If the AIO program start date is less than six months from your next Policy Anniversary, the income period will extend to the following Policy Anniversary. In this case, the first income period will last at least one year, but no more than 18 months.

After the first income period, and each year you remain in the AIO program, we will run an Illustration after each Policy Anniversary. The Illustration will generally be run at a rate chosen by you, not to exceed a gross annual rate of 12%. Your Policy must continue to have an illustrated Net Cash Surrender Value at the maturity date sufficient to meet the minimum Accumulated Value required to allow for payment of Policy charges, including Policy loan interest. There is no charge for Illustrations we run in connection with the AIO program. They do not count toward your one free Illustration per year.

We will send you a letter and the Illustration to notify you of any changes in your income payment amount or duration. The new income payment amount will be effective on the income payment date following the previous income period.

Over time, your Policy’s actual performance, and perhaps your use of the Policy’s options are likely to vary from the assumptions used in the Illustrations. Changes in your Policy’s Investment Option allocations can impact your future values and income you receive. Your Policy may also be susceptible to lapse.

You are responsible to monitor your Policy’s Accumulated Value to ensure your Policy is not in danger of lapsing. You may need to make additional premium payments or loan repayments to prevent your Policy from lapsing. You will not receive a notice to remind you of your scheduled premium payments while you are in the AIO program.

MORE INFORMATION ON POLICY CHARGES

How We Calculate the Surrender Charge

If you surrender your Policy, a surrender charge may be assessed against your Policy’s Accumulated Value. It is based on the Age and Risk Class of both Insureds, as well as the Death Benefit Option you choose, for each $1,000 of the initial Face Amount of your Policy. Each Coverage Layer has a surrender charge, based on the Face Amount of each Coverage Layer and the Age and Risk Class of the Insured, and the Death Benefit Option, on the date each Coverage Layer is effective. If you increase your Policy’s Face Amount, we will send you a supplemental schedule of benefits that shows the surrender charge factors and associated with the increase.

During the Level Period, the Surrender Charge is equal to the initial amount. After the Level Period, the Surrender Charge decreases on each Monthly Payment Date by 1/12 of the Reduction Factor until it becomes zero after the End Year. The initial amount, Level Period, Reduction Factor, and End Year are shown in the Table of Surrender Charge Factors in the Policy Specifications.

The most we will assess on any surrendered Coverage Layer is $40.88 per $1,000 of Face Amount.

Please refer to your Policy and any supplemental schedule of benefits for surrender charges.

  
 

An example

 

For a Policy:

$13,200.00

× 1/12 × 24 months))

$17,352.00

($28,920.00 −(($28,920.00 ÷ 5)

× 1/12 × 24 months))

Changes in Face Amount

Net Premiums you pay are allocated to the Accumulated Value in your base Policy and any charges, withdrawals and distributions are subtracted from that Accumulated Value.

Instead, to determine the cost of insurance charge on each Coverage Layer, as described in the prospectus under YOUR POLICY’S ACCUMULATED VALUE, we discount the total Death Benefit for all Coverage Layers that would have been payable at the beginning of the Policy month and subtract the Accumulated Value in the base Policy at the beginning of the month before the monthly charge is due to determine the total Net Amount At Risk for all Coverage Layers. We then prorate the Net Amount At Risk for each Coverage Layer in the same proportion that the Face Amount of each Coverage Layer bears to the Total Face Amount for all Coverage Layers. The Net Amount At Risk for each Coverage Layer is multiplied by the current cost of insurance rate for that Coverage Layer.

If you elect Death Benefit Option C, your Death Benefit on the base Policy is your base Policy’s Face Amount plus any premium payments you make and less any withdrawals and distributions, subject to a maximum Death Benefit disclosed in your Policy Specifications. If you elect Death Benefit Option C and your Policy’s Death Benefit equals the maximum Death Benefit as shown in your Policy Specifications, the Death Benefit provided by each Coverage Layer will be reduced proportionately for purposes of calculating the Net Amount At Risk. Unless you tell us which Coverage Layer(s) to reduce.

MORE ON VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE AND YOUR TAXES

This discussion about taxes is based on our understanding of the present federal income tax laws as they are currently interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). It is based on the Internal Revenue Code (the Tax Code) and does not cover any state or local tax laws. This is not a complete discussion of all federal income tax questions that may arise under the Policy. There are special rules that we do not include here that may apply in certain situations.

We do not make any guarantees about the tax status of your Policy, and you should not consider the discussion that follows to be tax advice. Speak to a qualified tax advisor for complete information about federal, state and local taxes that may apply to you.

We do not know whether the current treatment of life insurance policies under current federal income tax or estate or gift tax laws will continue. We also do not know whether the current interpretations of the laws by the IRS or the courts will remain the same. Future legislation may adversely change the tax treatment of life insurance policies, other tax consequences described in this discussion and in the Policy prospectus section VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE AND YOUR TAXES or tax consequences that relate directly or indirectly to life insurance policies.

Mortality and Expense Charges

The Tax Code and tax regulations impose limitations on unreasonable mortality and expense charges for purposes of determining whether a policy qualifies as life insurance for federal tax purposes. For life insurance policies entered into on or after October 21, 1988, these calculations must be based upon reasonable mortality charges and other charges reasonably expected to be actually paid.

While the Treasury Department has issued proposed regulations about reasonable standards for mortality charges, the standards that apply to joint survivor life insurance policies are not entirely clear. While we believe that our mortality costs and other expenses used in calculating whether the Policy qualifies as life insurance are reasonable

6


under current laws, we cannot be sure that the IRS agrees with us. We can change our mortality charges if we believe the changes are needed to ensure that your Policy qualifies as a life insurance policy.

Investor Control

For a variable life insurance policy to qualify for tax deferral, assets in the separate accounts supporting the Policy must be considered to be owned by the insurance company and not by the policy owner. Under current U.S. tax law, if a policy owner has excessive control over the investments made by a separate account, or the underlying fund, the policy owner will be taxed currently on income and gains from the account or fund. In other words, in such a case of “investor control” the policy owner would not derive the tax benefits normally associated with variable life insurance.

The application of the investor control doctrine is subject to some uncertainty. Generally, according to the IRS, there are two ways that impermissible investor control may exist. The first relates to the design of the Policy or the relationship between the Policy and a separate account or underlying fund. For example, at various times, the IRS has focused on, among other factors, the number and type of investment choices available pursuant to a given Policy, whether the Policy offers access to funds that are available to the general public, the number of transfers that a policy owner may make from one investment option to another, and the degree to which a policy owner may select or control particular investments.

With respect to this first aspect of investor control, we believe that the design of our Policies and the relationship between our Policies and the Funds satisfy the current view of the IRS on this subject, such that the investor control doctrine should not apply. However, because of some uncertainty with respect to this subject and because the IRS may issue further guidance on this subject, we reserve the right to make such changes as we deem necessary or appropriate to reduce the risk that your Policy might not qualify as a life insurance policy for tax purposes.

The second way that impermissible investor control might exist concerns your actions. Under case law and IRS guidance, you may not select or control particular investments, other than choosing among broad investment choices such as selecting a particular Fund. You may not select or direct the purchase or sale of a particular investment of a Fund. All investment decisions concerning the Fund(s) must be made by the portfolio manager for such Fund in his or her sole and absolute discretion, and not by the policy owner.

Furthermore, you may not communicate directly or indirectly with such a portfolio manager or any related investment officers concerning the selection, quality, or rate of return of any specific investment or group of investments held by a Fund.

Finally, the IRS may issue additional guidance on the investor control doctrine, which might further restrict your actions or features of the Policy. Such guidance could be applied retroactively. If any of the rules outlined above are not complied with, the IRS may seek to tax you currently on income and gains from a Fund such that you would not derive the tax benefits normally associated with variable life insurance. Although highly unlikely, such an event may have an adverse impact on the Fund and other Policies. We urge you to consult your own tax advisor with respect to the application of the investor control doctrine.

Comparison to Taxable Investments

With respect to taxable investments, current tax law generally provides for a maximum tax rate for individual taxpayers, or entities taxed at the individual level, of 20% on long-term capital gains and on certain “qualifying dividends” on corporate stock. The long-term capital gains rate does not apply to corporations. Corporations pay tax based upon the corporate tax rate, which, depending upon income, may be higher than the long-term capital tax rate for individuals. An individual taxpayer will also have to satisfy a more than 60-day holding period with respect to any distributions of qualifying dividends in order to obtain the benefit of the lower tax rate. Earnings from non-qualifying dividends, interest income, other types of ordinary income and short-term capital gains will be taxed at the ordinary income tax rate applicable to the taxpayer.

These rules mean that for policyholders who are individuals the tax-related advantage of life insurance compared to certain taxable investments is reduced because the tax burden applicable to long-term capital gains and from certain “qualifying dividends” on corporate stock may be less than the individual’s ordinary income tax rate which is applied to taxable distributions from a life insurance Policy.

Distribution Arrangements

Pacific Select Distributors, LLC (PSD), our subsidiary, acts as the distributor of the Policies. PSD is located at 700 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, California 92660. PSD is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC and is a member of FINRA. We pay PSD for acting as distributor under a distribution agreement. We and PSD enter into selling agreements with broker-dealers whose life insurance producers are authorized by state insurance departments to sell the Policies.

The aggregate amount of underwriting commissions paid to PSD with regard to 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $462,030.66, $496,555.38, and $541,186.36 respectively, of which $0 was retained.

PSD or an affiliate pays various sales compensation to broker-dealers that solicit applications for the Policies. PSD or an affiliate also may provide reimbursement for other expenses associated with the promotion and solicitation of applications for the Policies.

Performance

Performance information may appear in advertisements, sales literature, or reports to Policy Owners or prospective buyers.

Information about performance of any Variable Account of the Separate Account reflects only the performance of a hypothetical Policy. The calculations are based on allocating the hypothetical Policy’s Accumulated Value to the Variable Account during a particular time period.

Performance information is no guarantee of how a Fund or Variable Account will perform in the future. You should keep in mind the investment objectives and policies, characteristics and quality of the Fund in which the Variable Account invests, and the market conditions during the period of time that’s shown.

We may show performance information in any way that’s allowed under the law that applies to it. This may include presenting a change in Accumulated Value due to the performance of one or more Variable Accounts, or as a change in a Policy Owner’s Death Benefit.

We may show performance as a change in Accumulated Value over time or in terms of the average annual compounded rate of return on Accumulated Value. This would be based on allocating premium payments for a hypothetical Policy to a particular Variable Account over certain periods of time, including one year, or from the day the Variable Account started operating. If a Fund has existed for longer than its corresponding Variable Account, we may also show the hypothetical returns that the Variable Account would have achieved had it invested in the Fund from the day the Fund started operating.

Performance may reflect the deduction of all Policy charges including premium load, the cost of insurance, the administrative charge, and the mortality and expense risk charge. The different Death Benefit Options will result in different expenses for the cost of insurance, and the varying expenses will result in different Accumulated Values.

Performance may also reflect the deduction of the surrender charge, if it applies, by assuming the hypothetical Policy is surrendered at the end of the particular period. At the same time, we may give other performance figures that do not assume the Policy is surrendered and do not reflect any deduction of the surrender charge.

We may also show performance of the underlying Funds based on the change in value of a hypothetical investment over time or in terms of the average annual compounded return over time. Performance of the Fund(s) will not reflect the deduction of Policy charges. If Policy charges were reflected, the performance would be lower.

In our advertisements, sales literature and reports to Policy Owners, we may compare performance information for a Variable Account to:

 other variable life separate accounts, mutual funds, or investment products tracked by research firms, rating services, companies, publications, or persons who rank separate accounts or investment products on overall performance or other criteria

 the Consumer Price Index, to assess the real rate of return from buying a Policy by taking inflation into consideration

 various indices that are unmanaged.

Reports and promotional literature may also contain our rating or a rating of our claims paying ability. These ratings are set by firms that analyze and rate insurance companies and by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations.

GENERAL INFORMATION AND HISTORY

How We Are Organized

Pacific Life was established on January 2, 1868 under the name, Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company of California. It was reincorporated as Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company on July 22, 1936. On September 1, 1997, Pacific Life converted from a mutual life insurance company to a stock life insurance company. Pacific Life redomesticated to Nebraska on September 1, 2005. Pacific Life is a subsidiary of Pacific LifeCorp, a holding company, which in turn is a subsidiary of Pacific Mutual Holding Company, a mutual holding company.

Under their charters, Pacific Mutual Holding Company must always hold at least 51% of the outstanding voting stock of Pacific LifeCorp. Pacific LifeCorp must always own 100% of the voting stock of Pacific Life. Owners of Pacific Life’s annuity contracts and life insurance policies have certain membership interests in Pacific Mutual Holding Company. They have the right to vote on the election of the Board of Directors of the mutual holding company and on other matters. They also have certain rights if the mutual holding company is liquidated or dissolved.

The Separate Account

The Separate Account was established on May 12, 1988 under California law under the authority of our Board of Directors, and is now governed by the laws of the State of Nebraska as a result of Pacific Life’s redomestication to Nebraska on September 1, 2005. It is registered with the SEC as a type of investment company called a unit investment trust. The SEC does not oversee the administration or investment practices or policies of the Separate Account.

The Separate Account is not the only investor in the Funds. Investments in the Funds by other separate accounts for variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts could cause conflicts. For more information, please see the Statement of Additional Information for the Funds.

Pursuant to Commodity Futures Trading Commission Rule 4.5, Pacific Life has claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act. Therefore, it is not subject to registration or regulation as a commodity pool operator under the Commodity Exchange Act.

PREMIUM LIMITATIONS

Federal tax law puts limits on the amount of premium payments you can make in relation to your Policy’s Death Benefit. These limits apply in the following situations.

Guideline Premium Limit

If you have chosen the Guideline Premium Test as your Death Benefit Qualification Test, the total amount you can pay in premiums and still have your Policy qualify as life insurance is your Policy’s Guideline Premium Limit. The sum of the premiums paid, less any withdrawals, at any time cannot exceed the Guideline Premium Limit, which is the greater of:

 the guideline single premium or

 the sum of the guideline level annual premiums.

We may refuse to accept all or part of a premium payment if, by accepting it, you will exceed your Policy’s Guideline Premium Limit. If we find that you have exceeded your Guideline Premium Limit, we may remove all or part of a premium you have paid from your Policy as of the day we applied it, and return it to you. We will adjust the Death Benefit retroactively to that date to reflect the reduction in premium payments.

Your Policy’s guideline single premium and guideline level annual premiums appear on your Policy Specifications. Before you buy a Policy, you can ask us or your life insurance producer for a personalized Illustration that will show you the guideline single premium and guideline level annual premiums.

1


Modified Endowment Contract

A life insurance policy will become a Modified Endowment Contract if the sum of premium payments made during the first seven contract years, less a portion of withdrawals, exceeds the seven-pay limit defined in Section 7702A of the Internal Revenue Code. You will find a detailed discussion of Modified Endowment Contracts in VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE AND YOUR TAXES in the prospectus.

Unless you have told us in writing that you want your Policy to become a Modified Endowment Contract, we will remove all or part of the premium payment from your Policy as of the day we applied it and return it to you. We will also adjust the Death Benefit retroactively to that date to reflect the reduction in premium payments. If we receive such a premium within 30 days before your Policy Anniversary, we will hold it and apply it to your Policy on the Policy Anniversary.

In both of these situations, if we remove an excess premium from your Policy, we will return the premium amount to you no later than 60 days after the end of the Policy Year. We may adjust the amount for interest or for changes in Accumulated Value that relate to the amount of the excess premium we are returning to you.

If we do not return the premium amount to you within that time, we will increase your Policy’s Death Benefit retroactively, to the day we applied the premium, and prospectively so that it is always the amount necessary to ensure your Policy qualifies as life insurance, or to prevent it from becoming a Modified Endowment Contract. If we increase your Death Benefit, we will adjust cost of insurance or Rider charges retroactively and prospectively to reflect the increase.

Increasing the Net Amount At Risk

An increase in the Net Amount At Risk occurs if the Policy’s Death Benefit is equal to the Minimum Death Benefit, or would be equal to it once we apply your premium payment. We may choose to accept your premium payment in this situation, but before we do so, we may require satisfactory evidence of the insurability of the Insured.

TRANSFER SERVICES

You may only participate in one transfer service at any time.

Dollar Cost Averaging

Our dollar cost averaging service allows you to make scheduled transfers of $50 or more between Variable Investment Options without paying a transfer fee. Here is how the service works:

 You can set up this service at any time while your Policy is In Force.

 You need to complete a request form to enroll in the service. You may enroll by telephone or electronically if we have your completed telephone and electronic authorization on file.

 You must have at least $5,000 in a Variable Investment Option to start the service.

 We will automatically transfer Accumulated Value from one Variable Investment Option to one or more of the other Variable Investment Options you have selected.

 We will process transfers as of the end of the Business Day on your Policy’s monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual anniversary, depending on the interval you have chosen. We will not make the first transfer until after the Free Look Transfer Date in states that require us to return your premiums if you exercise your Free Look Right.

 We will not charge you for the dollar cost averaging service or for transfers made under this service, even if we decide to charge you in the future for transfers outside of the service, except if we have to by law.

 We have the right to discontinue, modify or suspend the service at any time.

 We will keep making transfers at the intervals you have chosen until one of the following happens:

 the total amount you have asked us to transfer has been transferred

2


 there is no more Accumulated Value in the Investment Option you are transferring from

 your Policy enters the Grace Period and is in danger of lapsing

 we receive your Written Request to cancel the service

 we discontinue the service.

Portfolio Rebalancing

The portfolio rebalancing service automatically transfers your Policy’s Accumulated Value among the Variable Investment Options according to your original percentage allocations. Here is how the service works:

 You can set up this service at any time while your Policy is In Force.

 You enroll in the service by completing a request form to enroll in the service.

 Unless you choose a different start date, your first rebalancing will take place at the end of the Business Day we receive your request. Subsequent rebalancing will take place at the end of the Business Day on your Policy’s monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual anniversary, depending on the interval you chose.

 You must be invested in two or more Variable Investment Options in order to elect portfolio rebalancing. The available Fixed Options are not included in portfolio rebalancing.

 We will not make the first transfer until after the Free Look Transfer Date, if your Policy was issued in a state that requires us to return your premiums if you exercise your Free Look Right.

 If you cancel this service, you must wait 30 days to begin it again.

 We do not charge for the portfolio rebalancing service, and we do not currently charge for transfers made under this service.

 We can discontinue, suspend or change the service at any time.

First Year Transfer

Our first year transfer service allows you to make transfers from the Fixed Account to the Variable Investment Options or the Fixed LT Account during the first 12 Policy months from the date your initial premium is applied to your Policy. Here is how the service works:

 You enroll in the service when you apply for your Policy using the New Business Variable Life Optional Services form.

 You choose amounts to be transferred for 12 months from the payment date.

 Transfers under the first year transfer service take place on your Policy’s Monthly Payment Date, starting on the first Monthly Payment Date following the Free Look Transfer Date.

 If you sign up for this service, we will waive the usual transfer limit for the Fixed Account during the first 12 Policy months from the date your initial premium is applied to your Policy.

 If program ends during the second Policy Year, we will not count it toward the usual one transfer per year for the Fixed Account.

 If the Accumulated Value in the Fixed Account is less than the amount to be transferred, we will transfer the balance and then cancel the service.

 If there is Accumulated Value remaining in the Fixed Account at the end of the service, the transfer limitations for the Fixed Account will apply.

 We do not charge for the first year transfer service, and we do not currently charge for transfers made under this service.

3


Fixed Option Interest Sweep

The Fixed Option interest sweep service allows you to make scheduled transfers of the accumulated interest earnings from any available Fixed Options to the Variable Investment Options. Here is how the service works:

 You can set up this service at any time while your Policy is In Force.

 You enroll in the service by sending us a Written Request.

 You may enroll by telephone or electronically if we have your completed telephone and electronic authorization on file.

 If you cancel this service, you must wait 30 days to begin it again.

 We do not charge for the Fixed Option interest sweep service, and we do not currently charge for transfers made under this service.

 We can discontinue, suspend or change the service at any time.

 Interest earnings transferred from any available Fixed Options to the Variable Investment Options are excluded from the transfer limitations.

WITHDRAWAL FEATURES

Automated Income Option

Our automated income option (“AIO”) program allows you to make scheduled withdrawals or loans. Here is how the program works:

 You can set up the income stream from your Policy on either a monthly or annual basis. Each scheduled income payment must be at least $500 if you choose to receive monthly payments, or $1,000 if you choose annual payments.

 You may choose to receive either a fixed amount of income or an amount based on a fixed duration. Depending upon your objectives, you may wish to reduce your Face Amount or change your Policy’s Death Benefit Option in order to maximize your income.

 You can choose the scheduled income payment date. You may elect to have your income payments sent either by check or by electronic deposit to a bank account. The effective date of the withdrawal or loan will be the Business Day before any income payment date.

 If the scheduled income payment date falls on a weekend or holiday, the actual income payment date will be the Business Day before the scheduled income payment date.

 The withdrawal or loan will be taken from your Policy’s Investment Options in proportion to the Accumulated Value in each Investment Option.

Upon our receipt of your AIO request form, we will run a hypothetical Illustration to determine if your request can be fulfilled, or if any adjustments will be necessary. We use the Illustration to test your Policy for the minimum Net Cash Surrender Value requirement. Your Policy must continue to have an illustrated Net Cash Surrender Value at the maturity date sufficient to meet the minimum Accumulated Value required to allow for payment of Policy charges, including Policy loan interest.

Illustrations generally will be run at an annual gross earnings rate chosen by you, not to exceed 12%. No earnings rate used is a guarantee or indication of actual earnings.

We will complete an AIO agreement form, and send it and the Illustration to your life insurance producer for delivery to you. The AIO agreement form will confirm your income payment amount, frequency and duration, and will also confirm your Policy’s cost basis and other information about your elections under the AIO program.

Unless you request otherwise, distributions under the AIO program will be taken first as withdrawals if not taxable, then they will be taken as loans.

4


Payments under the AIO program will begin as scheduled once we receive your signed AIO agreement form. We will send you a letter confirming the date and amount of the first income payment.

The income payments will usually remain constant during each income period, unless there is insufficient Net Cash Surrender Value to make a payment. The duration of each income period is one year, except that the first income period may differ depending on the following:

 If the AIO program start date is six months or more from your next Policy Anniversary, the income period will end on the next Policy Anniversary. In this case, the first income period will last at least six months, but not more than one year.

 If the AIO program start date is less than six months from your next Policy Anniversary, the income period will extend to the following Policy Anniversary. In this case, the first income period will last at least one year, but no more than 18 months.

After the first income period, and each year you remain in the AIO program, we will run an Illustration after each Policy Anniversary. The Illustration will generally be run at a rate chosen by you, not to exceed a gross annual rate of 12%. Your Policy must continue to have an illustrated Net Cash Surrender Value at the maturity date sufficient to meet the minimum Accumulated Value required to allow for payment of Policy charges, including Policy loan interest. There is no charge for Illustrations we run in connection with the AIO program. They do not count toward your one free Illustration per year.

We will send you a letter and the Illustration to notify you of any changes in your income payment amount or duration. The new income payment amount will be effective on the income payment date following the previous income period.

Over time, your Policy’s actual performance, and perhaps your use of the Policy’s options are likely to vary from the assumptions used in the Illustrations. Changes in your Policy’s Investment Option allocations can impact your future values and income you receive. Your Policy may also be susceptible to lapse.

You are responsible to monitor your Policy’s Accumulated Value to ensure your Policy is not in danger of lapsing. You may need to make additional premium payments or loan repayments to prevent your Policy from lapsing. You will not receive a notice to remind you of your scheduled premium payments while you are in the AIO program.

MORE INFORMATION ON POLICY CHARGES

How We Calculate the Surrender Charge

If you surrender your Policy, a surrender charge may be assessed against your Policy’s Accumulated Value. It is based on the Age and Risk Class of both Insureds, as well as the Death Benefit Option you choose, for each $1,000 of the initial Face Amount of your Policy. Each Coverage Layer has a surrender charge, based on the Face Amount of each Coverage Layer and the Age and Risk Class of the Insured, and the Death Benefit Option, on the date each Coverage Layer is effective. If you increase your Policy’s Face Amount, we will send you a supplemental schedule of benefits that shows the surrender charge factors and associated with the increase.

    
 

An example

 

For a Policy:

  
 

 that insures a male non-smoker Age 56 and a female non-smoker, Age 53 when the Policy is issued

or Option C

the surrender charge is:

For Death Benefit Option B,

the surrender charge is:

× 1/12 × 24 months))

× 1/12 × 24 months))

During the Level Period, the Surrender Charge is equal to the initial amount. After the Level Period, the Surrender Charge decreases on each Monthly Payment Date by 1/12 of the Reduction Factor until it becomes zero after the End Year. The initial amount, Level Period, Reduction Factor, and End Year are shown in the Table of Surrender Charge Factors in the Policy Specifications.

The most we will assess on any surrendered Coverage Layer is $40.88 per $1,000 of Face Amount.

Please refer to your Policy and any supplemental schedule of benefits for surrender charges.

Changes in Face Amount

Net Premiums you pay are allocated to the Accumulated Value in your base Policy and any charges, withdrawals and distributions are subtracted from that Accumulated Value.

Instead, to determine the cost of insurance charge on each Coverage Layer, as described in the prospectus under YOUR POLICY’S ACCUMULATED VALUE, we discount the total Death Benefit for all Coverage Layers that would have been payable at the beginning of the Policy month and subtract the Accumulated Value in the base Policy at the beginning of the month before the monthly charge is due to determine the total Net Amount At Risk for all Coverage Layers. We then prorate the Net Amount At Risk for each Coverage Layer in the same proportion that the Face Amount of each Coverage Layer bears to the Total Face Amount for all Coverage Layers. The Net Amount At Risk for each Coverage Layer is multiplied by the current cost of insurance rate for that Coverage Layer.

If you elect Death Benefit Option C, your Death Benefit on the base Policy is your base Policy’s Face Amount plus any premium payments you make and less any withdrawals and distributions, subject to a maximum Death Benefit disclosed in your Policy Specifications. If you elect Death Benefit Option C and your Policy’s Death Benefit equals the maximum Death Benefit as shown in your Policy Specifications, the Death Benefit provided by each Coverage Layer will be reduced proportionately for purposes of calculating the Net Amount At Risk. Unless you tell us which Coverage Layer(s) to reduce.

MORE ON VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE AND YOUR TAXES

This discussion about taxes is based on our understanding of the present federal income tax laws as they are currently interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). It is based on the Internal Revenue Code (the Tax Code) and does not cover any state or local tax laws. This is not a complete discussion of all federal income tax questions that may arise under the Policy. There are special rules that we do not include here that may apply in certain situations.

We do not make any guarantees about the tax status of your Policy, and you should not consider the discussion that follows to be tax advice. Speak to a qualified tax advisor for complete information about federal, state and local taxes that may apply to you.

We do not know whether the current treatment of life insurance policies under current federal income tax or estate or gift tax laws will continue. We also do not know whether the current interpretations of the laws by the IRS or the courts will remain the same. Future legislation may adversely change the tax treatment of life insurance policies, other tax consequences described in this discussion and in the Policy prospectus section VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE AND YOUR TAXES or tax consequences that relate directly or indirectly to life insurance policies.

Mortality and Expense Charges

The Tax Code and tax regulations impose limitations on unreasonable mortality and expense charges for purposes of determining whether a policy qualifies as life insurance for federal tax purposes. For life insurance policies entered into on or after October 21, 1988, these calculations must be based upon reasonable mortality charges and other charges reasonably expected to be actually paid.

While the Treasury Department has issued proposed regulations about reasonable standards for mortality charges, the standards that apply to joint survivor life insurance policies are not entirely clear. While we believe that our

6


mortality costs and other expenses used in calculating whether the Policy qualifies as life insurance are reasonable under current laws, we cannot be sure that the IRS agrees with us. We can change our mortality charges if we believe the changes are needed to ensure that your Policy qualifies as a life insurance policy.

Investor Control

For a variable life insurance policy to qualify for tax deferral, assets in the separate accounts supporting the Policy must be considered to be owned by the insurance company and not by the policy owner. Under current U.S. tax law, if a policy owner has excessive control over the investments made by a separate account, or the underlying fund, the policy owner will be taxed currently on income and gains from the account or fund. In other words, in such a case of “investor control” the policy owner would not derive the tax benefits normally associated with variable life insurance.

The application of the investor control doctrine is subject to some uncertainty. Generally, according to the IRS, there are two ways that impermissible investor control may exist. The first relates to the design of the Policy or the relationship between the Policy and a separate account or underlying fund. For example, at various times, the IRS has focused on, among other factors, the number and type of investment choices available pursuant to a given Policy, whether the Policy offers access to funds that are available to the general public, the number of transfers that a policy owner may make from one investment option to another, and the degree to which a policy owner may select or control particular investments.

With respect to this first aspect of investor control, we believe that the design of our Policies and the relationship between our Policies and the Funds satisfy the current view of the IRS on this subject, such that the investor control doctrine should not apply. However, because of some uncertainty with respect to this subject and because the IRS may issue further guidance on this subject, we reserve the right to make such changes as we deem necessary or appropriate to reduce the risk that your Policy might not qualify as a life insurance policy for tax purposes.

The second way that impermissible investor control might exist concerns your actions. Under case law and IRS guidance, you may not select or control particular investments, other than choosing among broad investment choices such as selecting a particular Fund. You may not select or direct the purchase or sale of a particular investment of a Fund. All investment decisions concerning the Fund(s) must be made by the portfolio manager for such Fund in his or her sole and absolute discretion, and not by the policy owner.

Furthermore, you may not communicate directly or indirectly with such a portfolio manager or any related investment officers concerning the selection, quality, or rate of return of any specific investment or group of investments held by a Fund.

Finally, the IRS may issue additional guidance on the investor control doctrine, which might further restrict your actions or features of the Policy. Such guidance could be applied retroactively. If any of the rules outlined above are not complied with, the IRS may seek to tax you currently on income and gains from a Fund such that you would not derive the tax benefits normally associated with variable life insurance. Although highly unlikely, such an event may have an adverse impact on the Fund and other Policies. We urge you to consult your own tax advisor with respect to the application of the investor control doctrine.

Comparison to Taxable Investments

With respect to taxable investments, current tax law generally provides for a maximum tax rate for individual taxpayers, or entities taxed at the individual level, of 20% on long-term capital gains and on certain “qualifying dividends” on corporate stock. The long-term capital gains rate does not apply to corporations. Corporations pay tax based upon the corporate tax rate, which, depending upon income, may be higher than the long-term capital tax rate for individuals. An individual taxpayer will also have to satisfy a more than 60-day holding period with respect to any distributions of qualifying dividends in order to obtain the benefit of the lower tax rate. Earnings from non-qualifying dividends, interest income, other types of ordinary income and short-term capital gains will be taxed at the ordinary income tax rate applicable to the taxpayer.

These rules mean that for policyholders who are individuals the tax-related advantage of life insurance compared to certain taxable investments is reduced because the tax burden applicable to long-term capital gains and from certain

7


“qualifying dividends” on corporate stock may be less than the individual’s ordinary income tax rate which is applied to taxable distributions from a life insurance Policy.

PSD is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC and is a member of FINRA. We pay PSD for acting as distributor under a distribution agreement. We and PSD enter into selling agreements with broker-dealers whose life insurance producers are authorized by state insurance departments to sell the Policies.

The aggregate amount of underwriting commissions paid to PSD with regard to 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $379,897.91, $459,216.99, and $716,677.97 respectively, of which $0 was retained.

PSD or an affiliate pays various sales compensation to broker-dealers that solicit applications for the Policies. PSD or an affiliate also may provide reimbursement for other expenses associated with the promotion and solicitation of applications for the Policies. More information on commissions paid to broker-dealers is in the ABOUT PACIFIC LIFE – Distribution Arrangements section in the Prospectus.

We and/or an affiliate may pay additional cash compensation from their own resources in connection with the promotion and solicitation of applications for the Policies by some, but not all, broker-dealers.

As of December 31,2023, the following firms have arrangements in effect with PSD pursuant to which the firms are entitled to receive a revenue sharing payment: AIG, Equitable Advisors LLC, Benefit Funding, CBIZ, Cadaret Grant & Co Inc, Cambridge Inv Research Inc, Capital Investment Group, Cetera Advisors LLC, Cetera Advisors Networks LLC, Cetera Financial Specialists LLC, Cetera Investment Services LLC, Commonwealth Financial Network Equity, CPS Financial & Insurance Services Inc, CUSO Financial Services LP, FAS CORP, First Allied Sec Inc, FSC Securities Corp, First Heartland Capital Corporation, Futurity First Insurance, Independent Financial Group, Kestra Investment Services LLC, Linsco Private Ledger Corp, Lion Street Financial LLC, M Holdings Securities, Next Financial Group Inc, PensionMark Securities LLC, P J Robb Variable Corp, ProEquities, Prudential Annuities Distributor Inc, Royal Alliance, Sagepoint Financial Inc, Saybrus Equity Svcs Inc, Securian Financial Services, Securities America, Simplicity Financial Investment Services Inc, Sorrento Pacific Financial LLC, The Huntington Investment Company, The Leaders Group, Transamerica Financial, Triad Advisors Inc., United Planners, Western International Securities, Woodbury Financial Services, and World Equity Group.

We or our affiliates may also pay other override payments, expense allowances and reimbursements, bonuses, wholesaler fees, and training and marketing allowances. Such payments may offset the broker-dealer’s expenses in connection with activities that it is required to perform, such as educating personnel and maintaining records. Life insurance producers may also receive non-cash compensation such as expense-paid educational or training seminars involving travel within and outside the U.S. or promotional merchandise.

All of the compensation described in this section, and other compensation or benefits provided by us or our affiliates, may be more or less than the overall compensation on similar or other products and may influence your life insurance producer or broker-dealer to present this Policy over other investment options. You may ask your life insurance producer about these differing and divergent interests and how he/she and his/her broker-dealer are compensated for selling the Policy.

Portfolio managers of the underlying portfolios of Pacific Select Fund available under this Policy may from time to time bear all or a portion of the expenses of conferences or meetings sponsored by Pacific Life or PSD that are attended by, among others, life insurance producers of PSD, who would receive information and/or training regarding the Fund’s portfolios and their management by the portfolio managers in addition to information respecting the variable annuity and/or life insurance products issued by Pacific Life and its affiliates. Other persons may also attend all or a portion of any such conferences or meetings, including directors, officers and employees of Pacific Life, officers and trustees of Pacific Select Fund, and spouses/guests of the foregoing. The Pacific Select Fund’s Board of Trustees may hold meetings concurrently with such a conference or meeting. The Pacific Select Fund pays for the expenses of the meetings of its Board of Trustees, including the pro rata share of expenses for

attendance by the Trustees at the concurrent conferences or meetings sponsored by Pacific Life or PSD. Additional expenses and promotional items may be paid for by Pacific Life and/or portfolio managers. PSD serves as the Pacific Select Fund’s distributor.

Performance

Performance information may appear in advertisements, sales literature, or reports to Policy Owners or prospective buyers.

Information about performance of any Variable Account of the Separate Account reflects only the performance of a hypothetical Policy. The calculations are based on allocating the hypothetical Policy’s Accumulated Value to the Variable Account during a particular time period.

Performance information is no guarantee of how a Fund or Variable Account will perform in the future. You should keep in mind the investment objectives and policies, characteristics and quality of the Fund in which the Variable Account invests, and the market conditions during the period of time that’s shown.

We may show performance information in any way that’s allowed under the law that applies to it. This may include presenting a change in Accumulated Value due to the performance of one or more Variable Accounts, or as a change in a Policy Owner’s Death Benefit.

We may show performance as a change in Accumulated Value over time or in terms of the average annual compounded rate of return on Accumulated Value. This would be based on allocating premium payments for a hypothetical Policy to a particular Variable Account over certain periods of time, including one year, or from the day the Variable Account started operating. If a Fund has existed for longer than its corresponding Variable Account, we may also show the hypothetical returns that the Variable Account would have achieved had it invested in the Fund from the day the Fund started operating.

Performance may reflect the deduction of all Policy charges including premium load, the cost of insurance, the administrative charge, and the mortality and expense risk charge. The different Death Benefit Options will result in different expenses for the cost of insurance, and the varying expenses will result in different Accumulated Values.

Performance may also reflect the deduction of the surrender charge, if it applies, by assuming the hypothetical Policy is surrendered at the end of the particular period. At the same time, we may give other performance figures that do not assume the Policy is surrendered and do not reflect any deduction of the surrender charge.

We may also show performance of the underlying Funds based on the change in value of a hypothetical investment over time or in terms of the average annual compounded return over time. Performance of the Fund(s) will not reflect the deduction of Policy charges. If Policy charges were reflected, the performance would be lower.

In our advertisements, sales literature and reports to Policy Owners, we may compare performance information for a Variable Account to:

 other variable life separate accounts, mutual funds, or investment products tracked by research firms, rating services, companies, publications, or persons who rank separate accounts or investment products on overall performance or other criteria

 the Consumer Price Index, to assess the real rate of return from buying a Policy by taking inflation into consideration

 various indices that are unmanaged.

Reports and promotional literature may also contain our rating or a rating of our claims paying ability. These ratings are set by firms that analyze and rate insurance companies and by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations.

Item 33. Indemnification

(a) The Distribution Agreement between Pacific Life Insurance Company, Pacific Life & Annuity Company (collectively referred to as “Pacific Life”) and Pacific Select Distributors, LLC (PSD) provides substantially as follows:

Pacific Life shall indemnify and hold harmless PSD and PSD’s officers, directors, agents, controlling persons, employees, subsidiaries and affiliates for all attorneys’ fees, litigation expenses, costs, losses, claims, judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, damages, and liabilities incurred as the direct or indirect result of: (i) negligent, dishonest, fraudulent, unlawful, or criminal acts, statements, or omissions by Pacific Life or its employees, agents, officers, or directors; (ii) Pacific Life’s breach of this Agreement; (iii) Pacific Life’s failure to comply with any statute, rule, or regulation; (iv) a claim or dispute between Pacific Life and a Broker/Dealer (including its Representatives) and/or a Contract owner. Pacific Life shall not be required to indemnify or hold harmless PSD for expenses, losses, claims, damages, or liabilities that result from PSD’s misfeasance, bad faith, negligence, willful misconduct or wrongful act.

PSD shall indemnify and hold harmless Pacific Life and Pacific Life’s officers, directors, agents, controlling persons, employees, subsidiaries and affiliates for all attorneys’ fees, litigation expenses, costs, losses, claims, judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, damages and liabilities incurred as the direct or indirect result of: (i) PSD’s breach of this Agreement; and/or (ii) PSD’s failure to comply with any statute, rule, or regulation. PSD shall not be required to indemnify or hold harmless Pacific Life for expenses, losses, claims, damages, or liabilities that have resulted from Pacific Life’s willful misfeasance, bad faith, negligence, willful misconduct or wrongful act.


(b) The Form of Selling Agreement between Pacific Life, Pacific Select Distributors, LLC (PSD) and Various Broker-Dealers provides substantially as follows:

Pacific Life and PSD agree to indemnify and hold harmless Selling Broker-Dealer and General Agent, their officers, directors, agents and employees, against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may become subject under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements made not misleading in the registration statement for the Contracts or for the shares of Pacific Select Fund (the “Fund”) filed pursuant to the 1933 Act, or any prospectus included as a part thereof, as from time to time amended and supplemented, or in any advertisement or sales literature approved in writing by Pacific Life and PSD pursuant to Section IV.E. of this Agreement.

Selling Broker-Dealer and General Agent agree to indemnify and hold harmless Pacific Life, the Fund and PSD, their officers, directors, agents and employees, against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may become subject under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (a) any oral or written misrepresentation by Selling Broker- Dealer or General Agent or their officers, directors, employees or agents unless such misrepresentation is contained in the registration statement for the Contracts or Fund shares, any prospectus included as a part thereof, as from time to time amended and supplemented, or any advertisement or sales literature approved in writing by Pacific Life and PSD pursuant to Section IV.E. of this Agreement, (b) the failure of Selling Broker-Dealer or General Agent or their officers, directors, employees or agents to comply with any applicable provisions of this Agreement or (c) claims by Sub-agents or employees of General Agent or Selling Broker- Dealer for payments of compensation or remuneration of any type. Selling Broker-Dealer and General Agent will reimburse Pacific Life or PSD or any director, officer, agent or employee of either entity for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Pacific Life, PSD, or such officer, director, agent or employee in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claims, damages, liability or action. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Broker-Dealer may otherwise have.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 34. Principal Underwriters
