This supplement replaces previous supplements dated March 4, 2009, and April 9, 2009.

The Board of Trustees of the MFS Variable Insurance Trust II (the “Trust”) approved, subject to shareholder approval, the merger of MFS Strategic Value Portfolio into MFS Value Portfolio. It is expected that this approval will be sought at a shareholder meeting expected to be held on or about June 11, 2009.

If shareholders approve the proposal relating to the merger of the portfolios of the Trust then, on or about June 29, 2009, all of the assets of MFS Strategic Value Portfolio will be transferred to MFS Value Portfolio and shareholders of MFS Strategic Value Portfolio will receive shares of MFS Value Portfolio in exchange for their shares.

On June 22, 2009, the MFS Strategic Value Portfolio will be closed to new Purchase Payments. However any automatic programs previously authorized by a Contract Owner, such as dollar-cost averaging, portfolio rebalancing, and asset allocation, into the MFS Strategic Value Portfolio will continue until the merger is completed.

Immediately after the merger, Purchase Payments and purchases that are part of a dollar-cost averaging program, a portfolio rebalancing program, or an asset allocation program will continue with the MFS Value Portfolio replacing the MFS Strategic Value Portfolio.

Please retain this supplement with your prospectus for future reference.
