As of 4 p.m. Eastern Time on October 13, 2017, the closed Investment Options will generally no longer accept additional Purchase Payments, or transfers that you request from other Investment Options, including automatic investment plan (AIP) payments, dollar cost averaging (DCA) program transfers, and flexible rebalancing transfers. Closed Investment Options are treated differently in Contracts that include one of the following optional living benefits: Lifetime Plus Benefit, Lifetime Plus II Benefit, Lifetime Plus 8 Benefit, Lifetime Plus 10 Benefit, Target Date Retirement Benefit, Target Date 10 Benefit, Investment Protector or Income Protector.

If your Contract does not include one of the optional living benefits listed above, we no longer allow assets to move into a closed Investment Option either by Purchase Payment or transfer. We will automatically remove any closed Investment Options from your allocation instructions for any future Purchase Payments or transfers (including any AIP Purchase Payments, DCA transfers, or flexible rebalancing transfers). If we do this, we will proportionately reallocate 100% of the amount you previously allotted to the closed Investment Options among your remaining selected Investment Options. If you have no remaining Investment Options we change your allocation instructions so that 100% is allocated to the AZL Government Money Market Fund. If all, or if all but one, of the Investment Options you selected for a flexible rebalancing program are closed, the flexible rebalancing program will end. If you are participating in the DCA program and all of the Investment Options you are transferring into are closed, the DCA program will end.

If your Contract includes one of the optional living benefits listed above, we will not remove any closed Investment Options from your future Purchase Payment allocation instructions and the closed Investment Options will continue to be subject to the automatic quarterly asset rebalancing transfers associated with your living benefit. In addition, if you have an active AIP or DCA program, your automatic Purchase Payments or DCA transfers will continue as normal unless you provide us with alternate instructions. However, if you change your future Purchase Payment allocation instructions the closed Investment Options will not be available to you.

Assets in closed Investment Options will remain in those Investment Options until we receive alternate instructions from you.
