SPECIAL TERMS
 
Your Contract is a legal document that uses a number of specially defined terms. We explain most of the capitalized terms that we use in this Prospectus in the context where they arise, and some are self-explanatory. In addition, for convenient reference, we have compiled a list of these capitalized terms in the Glossary included at the back of this Prospectus as Appendix A. If, while you are reading this Prospectus, you come across a capitalized term that you do not understand, please refer to the Glossary for an explanation.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS

The headings in this section correspond to headings in the Prospectus under which we discuss these topics in more detail.

The Annuity Contract

MFS Regatta Choice provides a number of important benefits for your retirement planning. During the Accumulation Phase, you make Payments under the Contract and allocate them to one or more of the Variable Account options or, if available, the Fixed Account options. During the Income Phase, we make annuity payments to you or someone else based on the amount you have accumulated. The Contract provides tax-deferral so that you do not pay taxes on your earnings until you withdraw them. When purchased in connection with a tax-qualified plan, the Contract provides no additional tax-deferral benefits because tax-qualified plans confer their own tax-deferral. The Contract also provides a basic death benefit if you die during the Accumulation Phase. You may enhance the basic death benefit by purchasing one or more of the optional death benefit riders.

The Accumulation Phase

Under most circumstances, you can buy the Contract with an initial Purchase Payment of $10,000 or more, and you can make additional Purchase Payments at any time during the Accumulation Phase. Currently, there is no minimum amount required for additional Purchase Payments. However, we reserve the right to limit additional Purchase Payments to at least $1,000. We will not normally accept a Purchase Payment if your Account Value is over $2 million or, if the Purchase Payment would cause your Account Value to exceed $2 million.

Variable Account Options: The Funds

You can allocate your Purchase Payments among Sub-Accounts, each of which invests in a separate securities portfolio of the MFS® Variable Insurance Trust II, an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Our affiliate, Massachusetts Financial Services Company (“MFS®”), serves as the investment adviser to the Trust. The investment returns on the Funds are not guaranteed. You can make or lose money. You may also transfer among the Funds and, if available, the Fixed Account Options.

The Fixed Account Options: The Guarantee Periods

From time to time, we make Fixed Account options available. When we do, you can allocate your Purchase Payments to the Fixed Account and elect to invest in one or more of the available Guarantee Periods. Each Guarantee Period earns interest at a Guaranteed Interest Rate that we publish. We may change the Guaranteed Interest Rate from time to time, but no Guaranteed Interest Rate will ever be less than the minimum guaranteed rate permitted by law. Once we have accepted your allocation to a particular Guarantee Period, we promise that the Guaranteed Interest Rate applicable to that allocation will not change for the duration of the Guarantee Period. We may offer Guarantee Periods of different durations or stop offering some Guarantee Periods. Once we stop offering a Guarantee Period of a particular duration, future allocations or transfers into that Guarantee Period will not be permitted. On January 31, 2011, we stopped accepting any new investments (Purchase Payments and transfers) into any Guarantee Periods, other than in connection with our dollar-cost averaging program.

Fees and Expenses

The Contract has insurance features and investment features, and there are costs related to each.

Each year for the first five Account Years, if your Account Value is less than $75,000 on your Account Anniversary, we deduct a $35 Annual Account Fee. After the fifth Account Year, we may increase the fee, but it will never exceed $50. We will waive the Account Fee if your Contract was fully invested in the Fixed Account during the entire Account Year.


 
 

 

During the Accumulation Phase, we deduct a mortality and expense risk charge at an annual rate of 1.00% of the average daily value of the Contract invested in the Variable Account, if your initial Purchase Payment was less than $1,000,000, or 0.85% if your initial Purchase Payment was $1,000,000 or more. We also deduct an administrative charge at an annual rate of 0.15% of the average daily value of the Contract invested in the Variable Account. If you annuitize before your eighth Account Anniversary, we will deduct, during the Income Phase, an additional charge equal to an annual rate of 0.25% of your daily Annuity Unit value.

If you take more than a specified amount of money out of your Contract, we assess a withdrawal charge against each Purchase Payment withdrawn. For each Purchase Payment, the withdrawal charge (also known as a “contingent deferred sales charge”) starts at 7% and declines to 0% after the Purchase Payment has been in the Contract for seven years.

Currently, you can make 12 free transfers each year. However, we reserve the right to impose a charge of up to $15 per transfer.

If you elect one or more of the optional death benefits, we will deduct, during the Accumulation Phase, an additional charge from the assets of the Variable Account ranging from an annual rate of 0.15% to 0.40% of the average daily value of your Contract depending upon which optional death benefit(s) you elect.

In addition to the charges we impose under the Contract, there are also charges (which include management fees and operating expenses) imposed by the Funds. The charges vary depending upon which Fund(s) you have selected.

The Income Phase: Annuity Provisions

If you want to receive regular income from your annuity after the Annuity Commencement Date, you can select one of several Annuity Options. You can choose to receive annuity payments from either the Fixed Account or from the available Variable Account options. If you choose to have any part of your annuity payments come from the Variable Account, the dollar amount of the payments may fluctuate with the performance of the Funds. Subject to the maximum Annuity Commencement Date, you decide when your Income Phase will begin but, once it begins, you cannot change your choice of annuity payment options.

During the Income Phase, the total insurance charges are deducted on a daily basis at an annual rate of 1.15% of your Account Value invested in the Variable Account (1.00% if your initial Purchase Payment was $1,000,000 or more). If your Annuity Commencement Date is within seven years of the Contract Date, the annual insurance charges will be increased by 0.25%.

Death Benefit

If you die before the Contract reaches the Income Phase, the beneficiary will receive a death benefit. The amount of the death benefit depends upon your age on the Contract Date and whether you choose the basic death benefit or, for a fee, you enhance the death benefit by electing one or more of the optional death benefits available in your state. If you are 85 or younger on your Contract Date, the basic death benefit pays the greatest of your Account Value, your total Purchase Payments (adjusted for withdrawals), or your Surrender Value, all calculated as of your Death Benefit Date. If you are 86 or older on your Contract Date, the basic death benefit is equal to the Surrender Value. You must make your election before the date on which your Contract becomes effective. The optional death benefits are only available if you are younger than 80 on the Contract Date. Any optional death benefit election may not be changed after your Contract is issued.

Withdrawals, Withdrawal Charges and Market Value Adjustment

You can withdraw money from your Contract during the Accumulation Phase. You may withdraw a portion of your Account Value each year without the imposition of a withdrawal charge. This “free withdrawal amount” equals 15% of the amount of all Purchase Payments you have made in the first Account Year. For all other Account Years, the “free withdrawal amount” equals the amount of all Purchase Payments made and not withdrawn prior to the last seven Account Years plus the greater of (1) your Contract’s earnings, minus any free withdrawals taken during the life of your Contract or (2) 15% of the amount of all Purchase Payments made during the last seven Account Years (including the current year) minus any free withdrawals taken during the current Account Year. Withdrawals made from the Fixed Account may also be subject to a Market Value Adjustment (see prospectus under “Market Value Adjustment”). You may also have to pay income taxes and tax penalties on money you withdraw.


 
 

 

Right to Return

Your Contract contains a “free look” provision. If you cancel your Contract within 10 days after receiving it (or later if required by your state), we will send you, depending upon the laws of your state, either the full amount of all of your Purchase Payments or your Account Value as of the day we receive your cancellation request in good order. (This amount may be more or less than the original Purchase Payment). We will not deduct a withdrawal charge or a Market Value Adjustment.

Tax Considerations

Your earnings are not taxed until you take them out. If you withdraw money during the Accumulation Phase, earnings come out first and are taxed as ordinary income. If you are younger than 59½ when you take money out, you may be charged a 10% federal tax penalty on taxable amounts.

                                       

NOTE ABOUT OTHER ANNUITY CONTRACTS THAT WE OFFER: In addition to the Contract, we currently offer many other forms of annuity contracts with a wide variety of features, benefits and charges. Depending on your circumstances and needs, some of these other contracts may be at lower cost to you. Not all of the annuity contracts that we offer are available in all jurisdictions or through all of the selling agents who offer the contracts. You should consider with your selling agent what annuity contract or financial product is most consistent with your needs and preferences.

The expenses shown, which include any acquired fund fees and expenses, are those incurred for the year ended December 31, 2011, and were provided by the Funds. We have not independently verified the accuracy of the Fund expense information. Current or future expenses may be greater or less than those shown. For more information about Fund expenses, including a description of any applicable fee waiver or expense reimbursement arrangement, see the Fund prospectuses.



1
A portion of your Account may be withdrawn each year without imposition of any withdrawal charge and, after a Purchase Payment has been in your Account for seven Account Years, it may be withdrawn free of the withdrawal charge. (See “Withdrawal Charge.”)
   
2
Currently, we impose no fee upon transfers; however, we reserve the right to impose a fee of up to $15 per transfer. We do impose certain restrictions upon the number and frequency of transfers. (See “Transfer Privilege.”)
   
3
The premium tax rate and base vary by your state of residence and the type of Contract you own. Currently, we may deduct premium taxes from Account Value upon full surrender (including surrender for the death benefit) or annuitization. (See “Premium Taxes.”)
   
4
The Annual Account Fee is currently $35. After the fifth Account Year, the fee may be changed, but it will never be greater than $50. The fee is waived if 100% of your Account Value has been allocated only to the Fixed Account during the entire Account Year or if your Account Value is $75,000 or more on your Account Anniversary. (See “Account Fee.”)
   
5
If your initial Purchase Payment is $1,000,000 or more, the mortality and expense risk charge will be 0.85% of average daily net Variable Account assets. After annuitization, the sum of the mortality and expense risk charge and the administrative expenses charge will never be greater than 1.15% of average daily net Variable Account assets, regardless of the amount of your initial Purchase Payment. If you annuitize prior to your eighth Account Anniversary, however, we will deduct an additional charge equal to 0.25% of your daily Account Value. (See “Mortality and Expense Risk Charge.”)
   
6
The optional death benefits are defined under “Death Benefit.” The charge varies depending upon the optional death benefit(s) selected.

EXAMPLE

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include Contract Owner transaction expenses, contract fees, variable account annual expenses, and Fund fees and expenses.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated and that your Contract includes the maximum charges for an optional death benefit (EEB and MAV and 5% Roll-Up, EEB Plus MAV, or EEB Plus with 5% Roll-Up). If these optional benefits were not elected or fewer options were elected, the expense figures shown below would be lower. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and assumes the maximum fees and expenses of any of the Funds. For purposes of converting the annual contract fee to a percentage, the Example assumes an average Contract size of $35,000. In addition, this Example assumes no transfers were made and no premium taxes were deducted. If these arrangements were considered, the expenses shown would be higher.

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

(1)
If you surrender your Contract at the end of the applicable time period:

 
1 year
3 years
5 years
10 years
         
 
$936
$1,546
$2,172
$3,581

(2)
If you annuitize your Contract at the end of the applicable time period:

 
1 year
3 years
5 years
10 years
         
 
$329
$1,004
$1,702
$3,581

(3)
If you do not surrender your Contract:

 
1 year
3 years
5 years
10 years
         
 
$329
$1,004
$1,702
$3,581

The fee table and Example should not be considered a representation of past or future expenses and charges of the Sub-Accounts. Your actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown. The Example does not include the deduction of state premium taxes, which may be assessed upon full surrender, death or annuitization, or any taxes and penalties you may be required to pay if you surrender the Contract. This Example also does not take into consideration any fee waiver or expense reimbursement arrangement of the Funds. If these arrangements were taken into consideration, the expenses shown would be lower. Similarly, the 5% annual rate of return assumed in the Example is not intended to be representative of past or future investment performance. For more information about Fund expenses, including a description of any applicable fee waiver or expense reimbursement arrangement, see the prospectuses for the Funds.

For information concerning compensation paid for the sale of the Contracts, see “Distribution of the Contract.”

CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Historical information about the value of the units we use to measure the variable portion of your Contract (“Variable Accumulation Units”) is included in the back of this Prospectus as Appendix F.

THE ANNUITY CONTRACT

Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) and Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Variable Account F (the “Variable Account”) offer the Contract to groups and individuals for use in connection with their retirement plans. The Contract is available on a group basis and, in certain states, may be available on an individual basis. We issue an Individual Contract directly to the individual Participant of the Contract. We issue a Group Contract to the Owner, covering all individuals participating under the Group Contract; each individual receives a Certificate that evidences his or her participation under the Group Contract.

In this Prospectus, unless we state otherwise, we refer to both the owners of Individual Contracts and participating individuals under Group Contracts as “Participants” and we address all Participants as “you”; we use the term “Contracts” to include Individual Contracts, Group Contracts, and Certificates issued under Group Contracts. For the purpose of determining benefits under both Individual Contracts and Group Contracts, we establish an Account for each Participant, which we will refer to as “your” Account or a “Participant Account.”

Your Contract provides a number of important benefits for your retirement planning.

 
·
It has an Accumulation Phase and an Income Phase. During  the Accumulation Phase, you make Purchase Payments under the Contract and allocate them to one or more of the Variable Account options or, if available, the Fixed Account options. During the Income Phase, we make annuity payments based on the amount you have accumulated. Annuity payments can be fixed or variable. When you choose variable options, you assume the investment risk. When you choose fixed options, we assume the investment risk.

 
·
It also has tax deferral, so that you do not pay taxes on your earnings under your Contract until you withdraw them. However, if you purchase your Contract in connection with a tax-qualified plan, your purchase should be made for reasons other than tax-deferral. Tax-qualified plans provide tax deferral without the need for purchasing an annuity contract.

 
·
It provides a basic death benefit if you die during the Accumulation Phase. You may enhance the basic death benefit by electing one or more optional death benefits and paying an additional charge for each optional death benefit you elect.

 
·
If you so elect, during the Income Phase, it provides annuity payments to you or someone else for life or for another period that you choose.

The Contract is designed for use in connection with personal retirement and deferred compensation plans, some of which qualify for favorable federal income tax treatment under Sections 401, 403, 408 or 408A of the Internal Revenue Code. The Contract is also designed so that it may be used in connection with certain non-tax-qualified retirement plans, such as payroll savings plans and such other groups (trusteed or non-trusteed) as may be eligible under applicable law. We refer to Contracts used with plans that receive favorable tax treatment as “Qualified Contracts,” and all other Contracts as “Non-Qualified Contracts.” A qualified retirement plan generally provides tax deferral regardless of whether the plan invests in an annuity contract. A decision to purchase an annuity contract should not be based on the assumption that the purchase of an annuity contract is necessary to obtain tax-deferral benefits under a qualified retirement plan.

COMMUNICATING TO US ABOUT YOUR CONTRACT

You may submit transaction requests or otherwise communicate with us in writing or by telephone. All materials sent to us, including Purchase Payments, must be sent to our mailing address as set forth on the first page of this Prospectus. For all telephone communications, you must call (800) 752-7216. In addition, the authorized registered representative of the broker-dealer of record may submit transfer requests on your behalf in writing, by telephone, or over the Internet on our broker website. To use the broker website, the registered representative must first consent to our online terms of use. (See “Requests for Transfers” under “Transfer Privilege.”)

Unless this Prospectus states differently, we will consider all materials sent to us and all telephone communications to be received on the date we actually receive them at our mailing address or at (800) 752-7216. However, we will consider all financial transactions, including Purchase Payments, withdrawal requests and transfer instructions, to be received on the next Business Day if we receive them (1) on a day that is not a Business Day or (2) after 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time. In some cases, receipt of financial transactions by the broker-dealer of record will be deemed to be constructive receipt by us. This would include only cases where we have a specific agreement with the broker-dealer that provides for this treatment and the broker-dealer electronically forwards to us the request promptly after the end of the Business Day on which it receives the request in good order. In such cases, financial transactions received by us in good order will be priced that Business Day, provided the broker-dealer received the request before the earlier of (a) 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a Business Day, or (b) the close of the New York Stock Exchange on days that the Stock Exchange closes before 4:00 p.m. For information about whether we have this type of arrangement with your broker-dealer, you may call us at the above number.

Certain methods of contacting us, such as by telephone or over the Internet, may be unavailable or delayed. Any computer or telephone system (including yours, ours, and your registered representative’s) can experience delays or outages that may delay or prevent us from processing your request. While we have taken reasonable precautions to allow our systems to accommodate heavy usage, we do not guarantee access or reliability under all circumstances. If you experience delays or an outage, you may submit your request to us in writing to our mailing address, as set forth at the beginning of this Prospectus.

When we specify that notice to us must be in writing, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to accept notice in another form.

SUN LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY OF CANADA (U.S.)

We are a stock life insurance company incorporated under the laws of Delaware on January 12, 1970. We do business in 49 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and we have an insurance company subsidiary that does business in New York. The address for our Executive Office is One Sun Life Executive Park, Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts 02481.

We are ultimately controlled by Sun Life Financial Inc. (“Sun Life Financial”). Sun Life Financial, a corporation organized in Canada, is a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with common shares listed on the Toronto, New York, and Philippine stock exchanges.

THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT

We established the Variable Account as a separate account on July 13, 1989, pursuant to a resolution of our Board of Directors. The Variable Account funds the Contract and various other variable annuity product contracts which we offer. These other products may have features, benefits and charges that are different from those under the Contract.

Under Delaware insurance law and the Contract, the income, gains or losses of the Variable Account are credited to or charged against the assets of the Variable Account without regard to the other income, gains, or losses of the Company. These assets are held in relation to the Contract described in this Prospectus and other variable annuity contracts that provide benefits that vary in accordance with the investment performance of the Variable Account. The assets maintained in the Variable Account will not be charged with any liabilities arising out of any other business we conduct. All obligations arising under a Contract, including the promise to make annuity payments, are general corporate obligations of the Company and, as such, are subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors.

The assets of the Variable Account are divided into Sub-Accounts. Each Sub-Account invests exclusively in shares of a specific Fund of the MFS® Variable Insurance Trust II (the “Trust”). All amounts allocated by you to a Sub-Account will be used to purchase Fund shares at their net asset value. Any and all distributions made by the Funds with respect to the shares held by the Variable Account will be reinvested to purchase additional Fund shares at their net asset value. Deductions will be made from the Variable Account for cash withdrawals, annuity payments, death benefits, Account Fees, Contract charges against the assets of the Variable Account for the assumption of mortality and expense risks, administrative expenses, optional benefits, and any applicable taxes will, in effect, be made by redeeming the number of Fund shares at their net asset value equal in total value to the amount to be deducted. The Variable Account will be fully invested in Fund shares at all times.

VARIABLE ACCOUNT OPTIONS: THE MFS® VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST II

The MFS® Variable Insurance Trust II (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Our affiliate, Massachusetts Financial Services Company (“MFS®”), serves as the investment adviser to the Series Fund.

The Trust is composed of a number of independent portfolios of securities, each of which has separate investment objectives and policies. Shares of the Trust are issued in a number of investment options (each, a “Fund”), each corresponding to one of the portfolios. Additional portfolios may be added to the Trust which may or may not be available for investment by the Variable Account.

Each Fund pays fees to MFS®, as its investment adviser, for services rendered pursuant to investment advisory agreements. MFS® also serves as investment adviser to each of the funds in the MFS Family of Funds®, and to certain other investment companies established by MFS® and/or us. MFS® Institutional Advisors, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of MFS®, provides investment advice to substantial private clients. MFS® and its predecessor organizations have a history of money management dating from 1924. MFS® operates as an autonomous organization and the obligation of performance with respect to the investment advisory and underwriting agreements is solely that of MFS®. We undertake no obligation in this regard.

MFS® may serve as the investment adviser to other mutual funds which have similar investment goals and principal investment policies and risks as the Funds, and which may be managed by a Fund’s portfolio manager(s). While a Fund may have many similarities to these other funds, its investment performance will differ from their investment performance. This is due to a number of differences between the Fund and these similar products, including differences in sales charges, expense ratios and cash flows.

The Trust also offers its shares to other separate accounts established by the Company and our New York subsidiary in connection with variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts. Although we do not anticipate any disadvantages to this arrangement, there is a possibility that a material conflict may arise between the interests of the Variable Account and one or more of the other separate accounts investing in the Trust. A conflict may occur due to differences in tax laws affecting the operations of variable life and variable annuity separate accounts, or some other reason. We and the Trust’s Board of Trustees will monitor events for such conflicts, and, in the event of a conflict, we will take steps necessary to remedy the conflict, including withdrawal of the Variable Account from participation in the Fund which is involved in the conflict or substitution of shares of other Funds or other mutual funds.

More comprehensive information about the Trust and the management, investment objectives, policies, restrictions, expenses and potential risks of each Fund may be found in the current Trust prospectus. You should read the Trust prospectus carefully before investing. The statement of additional information of the Trust is available by calling us at (800) 752-7216.

THE FIXED ACCOUNT

The Fixed Account is made up of all the general assets of the Company other than those allocated to any separate account. Amounts you allocate to Guarantee Periods become part of the Fixed Account, and are available to fund the claims of all classes of our customers, including claims for benefits under the Contracts.

We will invest the assets of the Fixed Account in those assets we choose that are allowed by applicable state insurance laws. In general, these laws permit investments, within specified limits and subject to certain qualifications, in federal, state and municipal obligations, corporate bonds, preferred and common stocks, real estate mortgages, real estate and certain other investments. We intend to invest primarily in investment-grade fixed income securities (i.e., rated by a nationally recognized rating service within the 4 highest grades) or instruments we believe are of comparable quality.

We are not obligated to invest amounts allocated to the Fixed Account according to any particular strategy, except as may be required by applicable state insurance laws. You will not have a direct or indirect interest in the Fixed Account investments.

THE FIXED ACCOUNT OPTIONS: THE GUARANTEE PERIODS

Guarantee Periods

You may elect one or more Guarantee Period(s) from those we make available from time to time. When available, we may offer Guarantee Periods of different durations; however, we may stop offering some or all Guarantee Periods at any time. Once we stop offering a Guarantee Period of a particular duration, allocations or transfers into that Guarantee Period will not be permitted.

Effective January 31, 2011, we stopped accepting any additional amounts for allocation to certain Guarantee Periods, regardless of when the Contract was issued. Under this change, all Guarantee Periods were closed to new amounts from:

 
·
initial or subsequent Purchase Payments you may make, except for Purchase Payments that you allocate to our dollar-cost averaging program;

 
·
transfers of Account Value into a Guarantee Period from any other Guarantee Period or Sub-Account; and

 
·
any other new allocation of money.

Any of your Account Value held in a Guarantee Period on January 31, 2011, will not be affected by our closing the Guarantee Periods to new amounts. At the end of that Guarantee Period, unless you instruct us otherwise, we will automatically renew your Guarantee Period allocation into a new Guarantee Period of the same duration as the last Guarantee Period. (See “Renewals” under “Fixed Account Value.”) Although we have the discretion to once again make new Guarantee Periods available for new allocations, we do not have any current intention to do so.

Because we are not currently offering new Guarantee Periods in connection with our Secured Future Program, that program is no longer available to those who are not already participating in it. (See “Secured Future Program” under “Other Programs.”)

Guaranteed Interest Rates

We publish Guaranteed Interest Rates for each Guarantee Period offered. We may change the Guaranteed Interest Rates we offer from time to time, but no Guaranteed Interest Rate will ever be less than the minimum guaranteed rate permitted by state law. Also, once we have accepted your allocation to a particular Guarantee Period, we promise that the Guaranteed Interest Rate applicable to that allocation will not change for the duration of the Guarantee Period.

We determine Guaranteed Interest Rates at our discretion. We do not have a specific formula for establishing the rates for different Guarantee Periods. Our determination will be influenced by the interest rates on fixed income investments in which we may invest amounts allocated to the Guarantee Periods. We will also consider other factors in determining these rates, including regulatory and tax requirements, sales commissions and administrative expenses borne by us, general economic trends and competitive factors. We cannot predict the level of future interest rates.

We may from time to time at our discretion offer special interest rates for new Purchase Payments that are higher than the rates we are then offering for renewals or transfers.

Early Withdrawals

Early withdrawals from your allocation to a Guarantee Period, including cash withdrawals, transfers and commencement of an annuity option, may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment, which could increase the value of your Account. (See “Withdrawals, Withdrawal Charges, and Market Value Adjustment.”)
 

 
 

 

THE ACCUMULATION PHASE

During the Accumulation Phase of your Contract, you make Purchase Payments into your Account, and your earnings accumulate on a tax-deferred basis. The Accumulation Phase begins with our acceptance of your first Purchase Payment and ends the Business Day before your Annuity Commencement Date. The Accumulation Phase will end sooner if you surrender your Contract or the “Covered Person” dies before the Annuity Commencement Date.

Issuing Your Contract

When you purchase a Contract, a completed Application and the initial Purchase Payment are sent to us for acceptance. When we accept an Individual Contract, we issue the Contract to you. When we accept a Group Contract, we issue the Contract to the Owner; we issue a Certificate to you as a Participant.

We will credit your initial Purchase Payment to your Account within two Business Days of receiving your completed Application, in good order. If your Application is not in good order, we will notify you. If we do not have the necessary information to complete the Application within five Business Days, we will send your money back to you or ask your permission to retain your Purchase Payment until the Application is in good order. Once the Application is in good order, we will then apply the Purchase Payment within two Business Days.

Amount and Frequency of Purchase Payments

The amount of Purchase Payments may vary; however, we will not accept an initial Purchase Payment of less than $10,000, and, although there is currently no minimum amount for additional Purchase Payments, we reserve the right to limit each additional Purchase Payment to at least $1,000. In addition, unless we have given our approval in advance, we will not accept a Purchase Payment if your Account Value is over $2 million, or if the Purchase Payment would cause your Account Value to exceed $2 million. Within these limits, you may make Purchase Payments at any time during the Accumulation Phase.

Allocation of Net Purchase Payments

You may allocate your Purchase Payments among the different Sub-Accounts and Guarantee Periods we offer, but we reserve the right to limit any allocation to a Guarantee Period to at least $1,000.

In your Application, you may specify the percentage of each Purchase Payment to be allocated to each Sub-Account or Guarantee Period. These percentages are called your allocation factors. Your allocation factors will remain in effect as long as your selected Sub-Accounts and Guarantee Periods continue to be available for investment. You may, however, change the allocation factors for future Purchase Payments by sending us notice of the change in a form acceptable to us. We will use your new allocation factors for Purchase Payments we receive with or after we have received notice of the change until we receive another change notice.

Although it is currently not our practice, we may deduct applicable premium taxes or similar taxes from your Purchase Payments (see “Premium Taxes”). In that case, we will credit your Net Purchase Payment, which is the Purchase Payment minus the amount of those taxes.

Your Account

When we accept your first Purchase Payment, we establish an Account for you, which we maintain throughout the Accumulation Phase of your Contract.

Your Account Value

Your Account Value is the sum of the value of the two components of your Contract: the Variable Account portion of your Contract (“Variable Account Value”) and the Fixed Account portion of your Contract (“Fixed Account Value”). These two components are calculated separately, as described below under “Variable Account Value” and “Fixed Account Value.”

Variable Account Value

Variable Accumulation Units

In order to calculate your Variable Account Value, we use a measure called a Variable Accumulation Unit for each Sub-Account. Your Variable Account Value is the sum of your Account Value in each Sub-Account, which is the number of your Variable Accumulation Units for that Sub-Account times the value of each Unit.

Variable Accumulation Unit Value

The value of each Variable Accumulation Unit in a Sub-Account reflects the net investment performance of that Sub-Account. We determine that value once on each day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading, at the close of trading, which is generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time. (The close of trading is determined by the New York Stock Exchange.) We also may determine the value of Variable Accumulation Units of a Sub-Account on days the Exchange is closed if there is enough trading in securities held by that Sub-Account to materially affect the value of the Variable Accumulation Units. Each day we make a valuation is called a “Business Day.” The period that begins at the time Variable Accumulation Units are valued on a Business Day and ends at that time on the next Business Day is called a Valuation Period. On days other than Business Days, the value of a Variable Accumulation Unit does not change.

To measure these values, we use a factor, which we call the Net Investment Factor, which represents the net return on the Sub-Account’s assets. At the end of any Valuation Period, the value of a Variable Accumulation Unit for a Sub-Account is equal to the value of that Sub-Account’s Variable Accumulation Units at the end of the previous Valuation Period, multiplied by the Net Investment Factor. We calculate the Net Investment Factor by dividing (1) the net asset value of a Fund share held in the Sub-Account at the end of that Valuation Period, plus the per share amount of any dividend or capital gains distribution made by that Fund during the Valuation Period, by (2) the net asset value per share of the Fund share at the end of the previous Valuation Period; then, for each day in the Valuation Period, we deduct a factor representing the asset-based insurance charges (the mortality and expense risk charges and the administrative expense charge) plus the applicable asset-based charge for certain optional benefit riders.

For a hypothetical example of how we calculate the value of a Variable Accumulation Unit, see the Statement of Additional Information.

Crediting and Canceling Variable Accumulation Units

When we receive an allocation to a Sub-Account either from a Net Purchase Payment or a transfer of Account Value, we credit that amount to your Account in Variable Accumulation Units. Similarly, we cancel Variable Accumulation Units when you transfer or withdraw amounts from a Sub-Account, or when we deduct certain charges under the Contract. We determine the number of Units credited or canceled by dividing the dollar amount by the Variable Accumulation Unit value for that Sub-Account at the end of the Valuation Period during which the transaction or charge is effective.

 Fixed Account Value

Your Fixed Account value is the sum of all amounts allocated to Guarantee Periods, either from Net Purchase Payments, transfers or renewals, plus interest credited on those amounts, and minus withdrawals, transfers out of Guarantee Periods, and any deductions for charges under the Contract taken from your Fixed Account Value.

A Guarantee Period begins the day we apply your allocation and ends when all calendar years (or months if the Guarantee Period is less than one year) in the Guarantee Period (measured from the end of the calendar month in which the amount was allocated to the Guarantee Period) have elapsed. The last day of the Guarantee Period is its Renewal Date.

Each additional Purchase Payment, transfer or renewal credited to your Fixed Account Value will result in a new Guarantee Period with its own Renewal Date. Amounts allocated at different times to Guarantee Periods of the same duration may have different Renewal Dates. Guarantee Periods may not always be available for allocation. (See “Fixed Account Options: The Guarantee Periods.”)

Crediting Interest

We credit interest on amounts allocated to a Guarantee Period at the applicable Guaranteed Interest Rate for the duration of the Guarantee Period. During the Guarantee Period, we credit interest daily at a rate that yields the Guaranteed Interest Rate on an annual effective basis. You can find out about our current Guaranteed Interest Rates by calling us at (800) 752-7216.

Guarantee Amounts

Each separate allocation you make to a Guarantee Period, together with interest credited thereon, is called a Guarantee Amount. Each Guarantee Amount is treated separately for purposes of determining the Market Value Adjustment. We may restrict a Guarantee Period that will extend beyond your maximum Annuity Commencement Date. Renewals into a Guarantee Period that extends beyond your maximum Annuity Commencement Date will result in an application of a Market Value Adjustment upon annuitization or withdrawal. We reserve the right to limit each new allocation to a Guarantee Period to at least $1,000.

Renewals

We will notify you in writing between 45 and 75 days before the Renewal Date for any Guarantee Amount. If you would like to change your Fixed Account option, we must receive from you prior to the Renewal Date:

 
·
written notice electing a different Guarantee Period from among those we then offer, or

 
·
written instructions to transfer the Guarantee Amount to one or more Sub-Accounts, in accordance with the transfer privilege provisions of the Contract. (See “Transfer Privilege.”)

If we receive no instructions from you prior to the Renewal Date, we will automatically renew your Fixed Account allocation into a new Guarantee Period of the same duration as the last Guarantee Period. A Guarantee Amount will not renew into a Guarantee Period that will extend beyond your maximum Annuity Commencement Date. In that case, unless you notify us otherwise, we will automatically transfer your Guarantee Amount into the next available Guarantee Period.

Early Withdrawals

If you withdraw, transfer, or annuitize an allocation from a Guarantee Period more than 30 days prior to its Renewal Date, we will apply a Market Value Adjustment to the transaction. This could result in an increase of your Account Value, depending on interest rates at the time. (See “Withdrawals, Withdrawal Charges, and Market Value Adjustment.”)

Transfer Privilege

Permitted Transfers

During the Accumulation Phase, you may transfer all or part of your Account Value to one or more Sub-Accounts or Guarantee Periods then available, subject to the following restrictions:

 
·
you may not make more than 12 transfers in any Account Year;

 
·
the amount transferred from a Guarantee Period must be the entire Guarantee Amount, except for transfers of interest credited during the current Account Year;

 
·
at least 30 days must elapse between transfers to and from Guarantee Periods;

 
·
transfers to or from Sub-Accounts are subject to terms and conditions that may be imposed by the Funds; and

 
·
we impose additional restrictions on market timers, which are further described below. (See “Short-Term Trading.”)

These restrictions do not apply to transfers made under any optional program. (See “Other Programs.”)

We reserve the right to waive these restrictions and exceptions at any time, as discussed under “Short-Term Trading,” or to change them. Any change will be applied uniformly. We will notify you of any change prior to its effectiveness.

There is usually no charge imposed on transfers; however, we reserve the right to impose a transfer charge of $15 for each transfer. Transfers out of a Guarantee Period more than 30 days before its Renewal Date or any time after the Renewal Date will be subject to the Market Value Adjustment described under “Withdrawals, Withdrawal Charges, and Market Value Adjustment.” We will notify you of any change in writing prior to its effectiveness. Under current law, there is no tax liability for transfers.

Requests for Transfers

You, your authorized registered representative of the broker-dealer of record, or another authorized third party may request transfers in writing or by telephone. Registered representatives of broker-dealer firms that have entered into selling agreements with us may, on behalf of their clients, submit transfer requests electronically over the Internet on our broker website. To use this electronic transfer service, a registered representative must agree to our online terms of use. You can contact us by telephone at (800) 752-7216 to identify broker-dealers with registered representatives that use this service.

If a written, telephone, or electronic transfer request is received before the earlier of (a) 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a Business Day, or (b) the close of the New York Stock Exchange on days that the Stock Exchange closes before 4:00 p.m., the transfer will be priced that day. The telephone transfer privilege is available automatically during regular business hours before 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and does not require your written election. We have established procedures reasonably designed to confirm that instructions communicated to us by telephone or electronically are genuine. These procedures may require any person requesting a transfer made by telephone or electronically to provide personal identifying information. We will not be liable for following instructions communicated by telephone that we reasonably believe are genuine.

We reserve the right to deny any and all transfer requests made by telephone or electronically and to require that certain transfer requests be submitted in writing. A transfer request may be denied if it is not in good order or if it does not comply with the terms of our short-term trading policy or the trading policy of a fund involved in the transfer. If an electronic or a telephone transfer request is denied, we will immediately notify you and your authorized registered representative.

We also reserve the right to suspend, modify, restrict, or terminate the telephone or electronic transfer privilege at any time. Your ability (or the ability of your authorized registered representative or another authorized third party) to request transfers by telephone and/or electronically may also be limited due to circumstances beyond our control, such as during system outages or periods of high volume.

A transfer request will be priced at the Variable Accumulation Unit value next determined at the close of the Business Day if we receive your transfer request, in good order, before the earlier of (a) 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a Business Day, or (b) the close of the New York Stock Exchange on days that the Stock Exchange closes before 4:00 p.m. Otherwise, your transfer request will be priced on the next Business Day.

No more than one transfer request of Account Values may be made on the same Business Day regardless of whether the request is made by you, your authorized registered representative, or another authorized third party, and regardless of whether the request is submitted in writing, by telephone, or electronically. The Company has established reasonable procedures for handling multiple transfer requests received on the same Business Day, including processing the first transfer request received in good order on a Business Day (unless otherwise cancelled in accordance with the cancellation procedures described in the next paragraph).

You, your authorized registered representative, or another authorized third party may cancel a transfer request by contacting us by telephone at (800) 752-7216 before the end of the Business Day during which the transfer request was submitted. We may also permit your authorized registered representative to request cancellation of a transfer request electronically over the Internet, provided we receive the electronic request before the end of the Business Day during which the transfer request was submitted.

Short-Term Trading

The Contracts are not designed for short-term trading. If you wish to employ such strategies, do not purchase a Contract. Transfer limits and other restrictions, described below, are subject to our ability to monitor transfer activity. Some Participants and their third party intermediaries engaging in short-term trading may employ a variety of strategies to avoid detection. Despite our efforts to prevent short-term trading, there is no assurance that we will be able to identify such Participants or intermediaries or curtail their trading. A failure to detect and curtail short-term trading could result in adverse consequences to the Participants. Short-term trading can increase costs for all Participants as a result of excessive portfolio transaction fees. In addition, short-term trading can adversely affect a Fund’s performance. If large amounts of money are suddenly transferred out of a Fund, the Fund’s investment adviser cannot effectively invest in accordance with the Fund’s investment objectives and policies.

The Company has policies and procedures to limit the number and frequency of transfers of Account Value. The Company also reserves the right to charge a fee for transfers to discourage frequent trading. In no event will the total charge assessed in connection with a transfer, that includes this fee as well as any charge that we may assess on a permitted transfer of Account Value among Sub-Accounts (see “Permitted Transfers”), exceed the maximum fee per transfer presented in the table of “Fees and Expenses” in this Prospectus.

Short-term trading activities whether by the Participant or a third party authorized to initiate transfer requests on behalf of Participant(s) may be subject to other restrictions as well. For example, we reserve the right to take actions against short-term trading which restrict your transfer privileges (including transfers to and from the Fixed Account) more narrowly than the policies described under “Permitted Transfers,” such as requiring transfer requests to be submitted in writing through regular first-class U.S mail (e.g., no overnight, priority or courier delivery allowed), and refusing any and all transfer instructions.

If we determine that a third party acting on your behalf is engaging (alone or in combination with transfers effected by you directly) in a pattern of short-term trading, we may refuse to process certain transfers requested by such a third party. We impose additional administrative restrictions on third parties that engage in transfers of Account Values on behalf of multiple Participants at one time. Specifically, we limit the form of such large group transfers to fax or mail delivery only, require the third party to provide us with advance notice of any possible large group transfer so that we can have additional staff ready to process the request, and require that the amount transferred out of a Sub-Account for each Participant be equal to 100% of that Participant’s value in the Sub-Account. In the last situation, we will not transfer any of the Sub-Account value. Instead, we will deem the request not in good order and immediately notify you.

We will provide you written notification of any restrictions imposed.

We reserve the right to waive short-term trading restrictions, where permitted by law and not adverse to the interests of the relevant underlying Fund and other shareholders, in the following instances:

 
·
when a new broker of record is designated for the Contract;

 
·
when the Participant changes;

 
·
when control of the Contract passes to the designated beneficiary upon the death of the Participant or Annuitant;

 
·
when necessary in our view to avoid hardship to a Participant; or

 
·
when underlying Funds are dissolved or merged or substituted.

If short-term trading results as a consequence of waiving the restrictions against short-term trading, it could expose Participants to certain risks. The short-term trading could increase costs for all Participants as a result of excessive portfolio transaction fees. In addition, the short-term trading could adversely affect a Fund’s performance. If large amounts of money are suddenly transferred out of a Fund, the Fund’s investment adviser cannot effectively invest in accordance with the Fund’s investment objectives and policies. We uniformly apply the short-term trading policy and the permitted waivers of that policy to all Contracts. If we did not do so, some Participants could experience a different application of the policy and therefore may be treated unfairly. Too much discretion on our part in allowing the waivers of short-term trading policy could result in an unequal treatment of short-term traders by permitting some short-term traders to engage in short-term trading while prohibiting others from doing the same.

Funds’ Shareholder Trading Policies

In addition to the restrictions that we impose (as described under “Permitted Transfers” and “Short-Term Trading”), most of the Funds have adopted restrictions or other policies about transfers or other purchases and sales of the Fund’s shares. These policies (the “Funds’ Shareholder Trading Policies”) are intended to protect the Fund from short-term trading or other trading practices that are potentially harmful to the Fund. The Funds’ Shareholder Trading Policies may be more restrictive in some respects than the restrictions that we otherwise would impose, and the Funds may modify their Shareholder Trading Policies from time to time.

We are legally obligated to provide (at the Funds’ request) information about each amount you cause to be deposited into a Fund (including by way of Purchase Payments and transfers under your Contract) or removed from the Fund (including by way of withdrawals and transfers under your Contract). If a Fund identifies you as having violated the Fund’s Shareholder Trading Policies, we are obligated, if the Fund requests, to restrict or prohibit any further deposits or exchanges by you (or a third party acting on your behalf) in respect of that Fund. Any such restriction or prohibition may remain in place indefinitely.

Accordingly, if you do not comply with any Fund’s Shareholder Trading Policies, you (or a third party acting on your behalf) may be prohibited from directing any additional amounts into that Fund or directing any transfers or other exchanges involving that Fund. You should review and comply with each Fund’s Shareholder Trading Policies, which are disclosed in the Funds’ current prospectuses.

Funds may differ significantly as to such matters as: (a) the amount, format, and frequency of information that the Funds request from us about transactions that our customers make; and (b) the extent and nature of any limits or restrictions that the Funds request us to impose upon such transactions. As a result of these differences, the costs borne by us and (directly or indirectly) by our customers may be significantly increased. Any such additional costs may outweigh any additional protection that would be provided to our customers, particularly in view of the protections already afforded by the trading restrictions that we impose as described under “Permitted Transfers” and under “Short-Term Trading.” Also, if a Fund imposes more strict trading restrictions than are reasonably necessary under the circumstances, you could be deprived of potentially valuable flexibility to make transactions with respect to that Fund. For these and other reasons, we may disagree with the timing or substance of a Fund’s requests for information from us or with any transaction limits or restrictions that the Fund requests us to impose upon our customers. If any such disagreement with respect to a Fund cannot be satisfactorily resolved, the Fund might be restricted or, subject to obtaining any required regulatory approval, replaced as a variable investment option.

Waivers; Reduced Charges; Credits; Special Guaranteed Interest Rates

We may reduce or waive the withdrawal charge, the administrative service fee or the annual Account Fee, credit additional amounts, or grant special Guaranteed Interest Rates in certain situations. These situations may include sales of Contracts (1) where selling and/or maintenance costs associated with the Contracts are reduced, such as the sale of several Contracts to the same Participant, sales of large Contracts, and certain group sales, and (2) to officers, directors and employees of the Company or its affiliates, registered representatives and employees of broker-dealers with a current selling agreement with the Company and affiliates of such representatives and broker-dealers, employees of affiliated asset management firms, and persons who have retired from such positions (“Eligible Employees”) and immediate family members of Eligible Employees. Eligible Employees and their immediate family members may also purchase a Contract without regard to minimum Purchase Payment requirements. For other situations in which withdrawal charges may be waived, see “Withdrawals, Withdrawal Charges and Market Value Adjustment.”

Other Programs

You may participate in any of the following optional programs free of charge. Transfers made pursuant to the provisions of the following optional programs will not be charged a transfer fee, nor will such transfers count as one of the 12 transfers per year allowed under the section entitled “Transfer Privilege.”

Dollar-Cost Averaging

You may select a dollar-cost averaging program at no extra charge by allocating a minimum amount to a designated Sub-Account or to a Guarantee Period we make available in connection with the program. (We reserve the right to limit minimum investments to at least $1,000.)

Dollar-cost averaging allows you to invest gradually, over time. At regular time intervals, we will transfer the same amount automatically to one or more Sub-Accounts that you choose. The program continues until your Account Value allocated to the program is depleted or you elect to stop the program. The final amount transferred from the Fixed Account will include all interest earned. If you elected to participate in dollar-cost averaging when you purchased your Contract, then all future Purchase Payments will be allocated to dollar-cost averaging, unless you specify otherwise.

Amounts allocated to the Fixed Account under the program will earn interest at a rate declared by the Company for the Guarantee Period you select. Previously applied amounts may not be transferred to a Guarantee Period made available in connection with this program.

No Market Value Adjustment will apply to amounts automatically transferred from the Fixed Account under the dollar-cost averaging program. However, if you discontinue or alter the program prior to completion, amounts remaining in the Fixed Account will be transferred to the Money Market Fund investment option under the Contract, unless you instruct us otherwise, and the Market Value Adjustment will be applied. Any allocation of a new Purchase Payment to the program will be treated as commencing a new dollar-cost averaging program and may be subject to the $1,000 minimum investment limit.

The main objective of a dollar-cost averaging program is to minimize the impact of short-term price fluctuations on Account Value. In general, since you transfer the same dollar amount to the variable investment options at set intervals, dollar-cost averaging allows you to purchase more Variable Accumulation Units (and, indirectly, more Fund shares) when prices are low and fewer Variable Accumulation Units (and, indirectly, fewer Fund shares) when prices are high. Therefore, you may achieve a lower average cost per Variable Accumulation Unit over the long term. A dollar-cost averaging program allows you to take advantage of market fluctuations. However, it is important to understand that a dollar-cost averaging program does not insure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market. We do not allow transfers into any of the Guarantee Periods pursuant to the dollar-cost averaging program.

Asset Allocation

One or more asset allocation programs may be available in connection with the Contract, at no extra charge. Asset allocation is the process of investing in different asset classes, such as equity funds, fixed income funds, and money market funds, depending on your personal investment goals, tolerance for risk, and investment time horizon. By spreading your money among a variety of asset classes, you may be able to reduce the risk and volatility of investing, although there are no guarantees, and asset allocation does not insure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market.

We have no discretionary authority or control over your investment decisions. We do not recommend asset allocation models or otherwise provide advice as to what asset allocation model may be appropriate for you.

Currently, you may select one of the available asset allocation models, each of which represents a combination of Sub-Accounts with a different level of risk. These models, as well as the terms and conditions of the asset allocation program, are fully described in a separate brochure. You may request a copy of this brochure by calling us at (800) 752-7216. We may add or delete programs in the future.

Our asset allocation programs are “static” programs. That is to say, if you elect an asset allocation program, we automatically rebalance your Account Value among the Sub-Accounts represented in the model you chose. While we will not alter the Sub-Account allocation percentages used in any asset allocation model, your asset allocation model and allocation weightings could be affected by mergers, liquidations, fund substitutions or closures.

You will not be provided with information regarding the periodic updates to models that we may offer to new Contract purchasers.Any, the new models will only be offered to Contracts issued on or after the date the new model goes into effect or to Participants who elect an asset allocation program on or after that date. Participants of any existing asset allocation programs may make an independent decision to change their asset allocations at any time. You should consult your financial adviser periodically to consider whether the model you have selected is still appropriate for you.

Systematic Withdrawal and Interest Out Programs

You may select our Systematic Withdrawal Program or our Interest Out Program. Under the Systematic Withdrawal Program, you determine the amount and frequency of regular withdrawals you would like to receive from your Fixed Account Value and/or Variable Account Value and we will process them automatically. Under the Interest Out Program, we automatically pay you or reinvest interest credited for all Guarantee Periods you have chosen. The withdrawals under these programs may be subject to surrender charges and a Market Value Adjustment. They may also be included as income and subject to a 10% federal tax penalty. You should consult a qualified tax professional before choosing these options. We reserve the right to limit the election of either of these programs to Contracts with a minimum Account Value of $10,000.

You may change or stop either program at any time, by written notice to us or other means approved by us.

Portfolio Rebalancing Program

Under the Portfolio Rebalancing Program, we transfer funds among all Sub-Accounts to maintain the percentage allocation you have selected among these Sub-Accounts. At your election, we will make these transfers on a quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis.

No transfers to or from any Guarantee Period are permitted while this program is in effect.

Secured Future Program

Under the Secured Future Program, at issue, we divide your initial Purchase Payments between the Fixed Account and the Variable Account. For the Fixed Account portion, you choose a Guarantee Period from among those we offer. We then allocate to that Guarantee Period the portion of your Purchase Payment necessary so that, at the end of the Guarantee Period, your Fixed Account allocation, including interest, will equal the entire amount of your initial Purchase Payment, less the amount of any Contract charges that have been deducted from the Fixed Account. The remainder of the original Purchase Payment will be invested in the Sub-Accounts of your choice. At the end of the Guarantee Period, you will be guaranteed the amount of your original Purchase Payment (assuming no withdrawals or transfers), plus you will have the benefit, if any, of the investment performance of the Sub-Accounts you have chosen. The Secured Future Program is subject to availability. Your Secured Future Program terminates at the end of the Guarantee Period and is not renewable into a new Guarantee Period. The Secured Future Program is not available when Guarantee Periods are not being offered. (See “The Fixed Account Options: The Guarantee Periods.”)

WITHDRAWALS, WITHDRAWAL CHARGES, AND MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT

Cash Withdrawals

Requesting a Withdrawal

At any time during the Accumulation Phase, you may withdraw in cash all or any portion of your Account Value. To make a withdrawal, other than a Systematic Withdrawal, you must send us a written request at our mailing address. Your request must specify whether you want to withdraw the entire amount of your Account or, if less, the amount you wish to receive.

All withdrawals may be subject to a withdrawal charge (see “Withdrawal Charge”), and withdrawals from your Fixed Account Value also may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment. (See “Market Value Adjustment.”) Withdrawals also may have adverse income tax consequences, including a 10% penalty tax. (See “Tax Considerations.”) You should carefully consider these tax consequences before requesting a cash withdrawal.

Full Withdrawals

If you request a full withdrawal, we calculate the amount we will pay you as follows: We start with your Account Value at the end of the Valuation Period during which we receive your withdrawal request; we deduct the Account Fee, if applicable, for the Account Year in which the withdrawal is made; we add the amount of any Market Value Adjustment applicable to your Fixed Account Value; and finally, we deduct any applicable withdrawal charge.

A full withdrawal results in the surrender of your Contract, and cancellation of all rights and privileges under your Contract.

Partial Withdrawals

Unless you specify otherwise, when you request a partial withdrawal, we will pay you the amount specified in your request adjusted by any applicable charges and/or Market Value Adjustment and then reduce the value of your Account by the amount of the withdrawal.

You may specify the amount you want withdrawn from each Sub-Account and/or Guarantee Amount to which your Account is allocated. If you do not so specify, we will deduct the total amount you request pro rata, based on your Account Value at the end of the Valuation Period during which we receive your request.

Withdrawals may significantly reduce the death benefit amount. In calculating the amount payable under the death benefit, we may reduce the benefit by an amount that is greater than the amount of the withdrawal, depending on the circumstances. Accordingly, you should refer to the more detailed discussions of the optional death benefit riders that appear elsewhere in this Prospectus for information about the effects that withdrawals will have on those benefits.

If you request a partial withdrawal that would result in your Account Value being reduced to an amount less than the Account Fee for the Account Year in which you make the withdrawal, we reserve the right to treat it as a request for a full withdrawal (i.e., a surrender of your Contract).

Time of Payment

We will pay you the applicable amount of any full or partial withdrawal within seven days after we receive your withdrawal request, except in cases where we are permitted, and choose, to defer payment under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and applicable state insurance law. Currently, we may defer payment of amounts you withdraw from the Variable Account only for the following periods:

 
·
when the New York Stock Exchange is closed (except weekends and holidays) or when the SEC determines trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted;

 
·
when the SEC determines that an emergency exists and that it is not reasonably practical (i) to dispose of securities held in the Variable Account or (ii) to determine the value of the net assets of the Variable Account; or

 
·
when an SEC order permits us to defer payment for the protection of Participants.

If, pursuant to SEC rules, the Money Market Fund suspends payment of redemption proceeds in connection with a liquidation of the Fund, we will delay payment of any transfer, partial withdrawal, surrender, loan, or death benefit from the Money Market Sub-Account until the Fund is liquidated. We also may defer payment of amounts you withdraw from the Fixed Account for up to six months from the date we receive your withdrawal request. We do not pay interest on the amount of any payments we defer.

Withdrawal Restrictions for Qualified Plans

If your Contract is a Qualified Contract, you should carefully check the terms of your retirement plan for limitations and restrictions on cash withdrawals.

Special restrictions apply to withdrawals from Contracts used for Section 403(b) annuities. (See “Tax Considerations - Tax-Sheltered Annuities.”)


 
 

 

Withdrawal Charge

We do not deduct any sales charge from your Purchase Payments when they are made. However, we may impose a withdrawal charge (known as a “contingent deferred sales charge”) on certain amounts you withdraw. We impose this charge primarily to defray some of our expenses related to the sale of the Contracts, such as commissions we pay to agents, the cost of sales literature, and other promotional costs and transaction expenses.

Free Withdrawal Amount

In each Account Year you may withdraw a portion of your Account Value, which we call the “free withdrawal amount,” before incurring the withdrawal charge.

For convenience in discussing free withdrawal amounts, we refer to Purchase Payments made during the last seven Account Years, including the current Account Year, as “New Payments,” and we refer to Purchase Payments made before the last seven Account Years as “Old Payments.”

For the first Account Year, the free withdrawal amount is equal to 15% of the amount of all Purchase Payments you have made. For all other Account Years, the free withdrawal amount is equal to the greater of:

 
·
your Contract’s earnings (defined below), minus any free withdrawals taken during the life of your Contract, or

 
·
15% of the amount of all New Payments minus any free withdrawals taken during the current Account Year.

Your Contract’s earnings are equal to:

 
·
your Account Value, minus

 
·
all Purchase Payments made plus

 
·
all partial withdrawals and charges taken.

For an example of how we calculate the “free withdrawal amount,” see Appendix B.

Withdrawal Charge on Purchase Payment

If you withdraw more than the free withdrawal amount, we consider the excess amount to be withdrawn first from Payments that you have not previously withdrawn. We impose the withdrawal charge on the amount of New Payments withdrawn. Thus, the maximum amount on which we will impose the withdrawal charge will never exceed the total of New Payments that you have not previously withdrawn.

The amount of your withdrawal, if any, that exceeds the total of the free withdrawal amount plus the aggregate amount of all New Payments not previously withdrawn, is not subject to the withdrawal charge.

Order of Withdrawal

When you take a withdrawal, we liquidate your Contract in the following order:

 
(1)
the free withdrawal amount, and

 
(2)
unliquidated payments on a first-in, first-out basis.

Calculation of Withdrawal Charge

We calculate the amount of the withdrawal charge by multiplying the Purchase Payments you withdraw by a percentage. The percentage varies according to the number of Account Years the Purchase Payment has been held in your Account, including the Account Year in which you made the Purchase Payment, but not the Account Year in which you withdraw it. Each Purchase Payment begins a new 7-year period and moves down the declining surrender charge scale as shown below at each Account Anniversary. Purchase Payments received during the current Account Year will be charged 7%, if withdrawn. On your next scheduled Account Anniversary, that Purchase Payment, along with any other Purchase Payments made during that Account Year, will be considered to be in their second Account Year and will have a 7% withdrawal charge. On the next Account Anniversary, these Purchase Payments will move into their third Account Year and will have a

 
 

 

withdrawal charge of 6%. This withdrawal charge decreases according to the number of Account Years the Purchase Payment has been held in your Account. The withdrawal charge scale is as follows:

Number of Account Years Purchase
 
Payment Has Been in Your Account
Withdrawal Charge
0-1
7%
1-2
7%
2-3
6%
3-4
6%
4-5
5%
5-6
4%
6-7
3%
7 or more
0%

For example, the percentage applicable to withdrawals of a Payment that has been in an Account for more than two Account Years but less than three will be 6%, regardless of the issue date of the Contract. You may want to consider deferring a withdrawal because withdrawal charges decline the longer the Purchase Payment is held in your Account.

The withdrawal charge will never be greater than 7% of the Purchase Payments you make under your Contract.

For a Group Contract, we may modify the withdrawal charges and limits, upon notice to the Owner of the Group Contract. However, any modification will apply only to Accounts established after the date of the modification.

For additional examples of how we calculate withdrawal charges, see Appendix B.

Types of Withdrawals Not Subject to Withdrawal Charge

Nursing Home Waiver

We will waive the withdrawal charge for a full withdrawal if:

 
·
the nursing home waiver is approved in the state of issue;

 
·
at least one year has passed since we issued your Contract,

 
·
you are confined to an eligible nursing home and have been confined there for at least the preceding 180 days, or any shorter period required by your state, and

 
·
your confinement to an eligible nursing home began after your Issue Date.

An “eligible nursing home” means a licensed hospital or licensed skilled or intermediate care nursing facility at which medical treatment is available on a daily basis and daily medical records are kept for each patient. You must provide us evidence of confinement in the form we determine. To find out where the nursing home waiver is approved, you can call us at (800) 752-7216.

Minimum Distributions

For each Qualified Contract, the free withdrawal amount in any Account Year will be the greater of the free withdrawal amount described above or any amounts required to be withdrawn to comply with the minimum distribution requirement of the Internal Revenue Code. This waiver of the withdrawal charge applies only to the portion of the required minimum distribution attributable to that Qualified Contract.

Other Withdrawals

We do not impose withdrawal charges:
 
·
on amounts you apply to provide an annuity;
 
·
on amounts withdrawn from a Non-Qualified Contract as part of our non-qualified stretch program;
 
·
on amounts we pay as a death benefit, except under the Cash Surrender method;
 
·
on amounts you transfer among the Sub-Accounts, between the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account, or within the Fixed Account; or
 
·
on any amounts transferred as a part of an optional program.


 
 

 

Market Value Adjustment

Market Value Adjustments only apply to Contracts investing in the Fixed Account and are only applicable to Contracts that have allocated money to the Fixed Account Guarantee Period options that we make available from time to time.

If permitted under the laws of your state, we will apply a Market Value Adjustment if you withdraw or transfer amounts from your Fixed Account Value more than 30 days before the end of the applicable Guarantee Period. For this purpose, using Fixed Account Value to provide an annuity is considered a withdrawal, and the Market Value Adjustment will apply. However, we will not apply the Market Value Adjustment to automatic transfers to a Sub-Account from a Guarantee Period as part of our dollar-cost averaging program.

We apply the Market Value Adjustment separately to each Guarantee Amount in the Fixed Account, that is to each separate allocation you have made to a Guarantee Period together with interest credited on that allocation. However, we do not apply the adjustment to the amount of interest credited during your current Account Year. Any withdrawal from a Guarantee Amount is attributed first to such interest.

A Market Value Adjustment may increase or have no effect on your Account Value. This will depend on changes in interest rates since you made your allocation to the Guarantee Period and the length of time remaining in the Guarantee Period. In general, if the Guaranteed Interest Rate we currently declare for Guarantee Periods equal in duration to the number of complete years remaining in your Guarantee Period (or your entire Guarantee Period for Guarantee Periods of less than one year) is lower than your Guaranteed Interest Rate, the Market Value Adjustment is likely to increase your Account Value.
 
Effective March 19, 2012, we have amended your Contract or Certificate by limiting (i.e., putting a “floor” on) any downward Market Value Adjustment that might be applied after March 19, 2012, to withdrawals or transfers out of a Guarantee Period. The “floor” ensures that, if you withdraw or transfer money from your Fixed Account Value more than 30 days before the end of the applicable Guarantee Period, we will not apply a Market Value Adjustment that would reduce the amount withdrawn before the deduction of any applicable Contract charges. We will, however, continue to apply any positive Market Value Adjustment that would increase the amount withdrawn.

We determine the amount of the Market Value Adjustment by multiplying the amount that is subject to the adjustment by the following formula:

(
1 + I
)
N/12
-  1
1 + J + b
 

where:

I  
is the Guaranteed Interest Rate applicable to the Guarantee Amount from which you withdraw, transfer or annuitize;
   
J  
is the Guaranteed Interest Rate we declare at the time of your withdrawal, transfer or annuitization for Guarantee Periods equal to the length of time remaining in the Guarantee Period applicable to your Guarantee Amount, rounded to the next higher number of complete years, for Guarantee Periods of one year or more. For any Guarantee Periods of less than one year, J is the Guaranteed Interest Rate we declare at the time of your withdrawal, transfer or annuitization for a Guarantee Period of the same length as your Guarantee Period. If, at that time, we do not offer the applicable Guarantee Period we will use an interest rate determined by straight-line interpolation of the Guaranteed Interest Rates for the Guarantee Periods we do offer;
   
N  
is the number of complete months remaining in your Guarantee Period; and
   
b  
is a factor that currently is 0%, but that in the future we may increase to up to 0.25%. Any increase would be applicable only to Participants who purchase their Contracts after the date of that increase. The “b” factor is the amount that will be used to cover market volatility (i.e., credit risk), basis risk, and/or liquidity costs.

We will apply the Market Value Adjustment to the amount being withdrawn after deduction of any Account Fee, if applicable, but before we impose any withdrawal charge on the amount withdrawn.

For examples of how we calculate the Market Value Adjustment, see Appendix B.


 
 

 

CONTRACT CHARGES

Account Fee

During the Accumulation Phase of your Contract, we will deduct from your Account an annual Account Fee to help cover the administrative expenses we incur related to the issuance of Contracts and the maintenance of Accounts. We deduct the Account Fee on each Account Anniversary. In Account Years 1 through 5, the annual Account Fee is $35. After Account Year 5, we may change the Account Fee each year, but the Account Fee will never exceed $50. We deduct the Account Fee pro rata from each Sub-Account and each Guarantee Period, based on the allocation of your Account Value on your Account Anniversary.

We will not charge the Account Fee if:

 
·
your Account Value has been allocated only to the Fixed Account during the applicable Account Year; or

 
·
your Account Value is $75,000 or more on your Account Anniversary.

If you make a full withdrawal of your Account, we will deduct the full amount of the Account Fee at the time of the withdrawal. In addition, on the Annuity Commencement Date we will deduct a pro rata portion of the Account Fee to reflect the time elapsed between the last Account Anniversary and the day before the Annuity Commencement Date.

After the Annuity Commencement Date, we will deduct an annual Account Fee of $35 in the aggregate in equal amounts from each Variable Annuity payment we make during the year. We do not deduct any Account Fee from Fixed Annuity payments.

Administrative Expense Charge

We deduct an administrative expense charge from the assets of the Variable Account during both the Accumulation Phase and the Income Phase. During the Accumulation Phase, this charge is deducted at an annual effective rate equal to 0.15% of your average daily Variable Account Value. During the Income Phase, this charge is included as part of the total insurance charges deducted from Annuity Unit values. This charge is designed to reimburse us for expenses we incur in administering the Contracts, Participant Accounts and the Variable Account that are not covered by the annual Account Fee.

Depending on the amount of expenses that we incur, we expect that we may earn a profit from this charge. If so, we may use the profit for any proper corporate purpose, including paying any other expenses in connection with the Contracts or adding to our corporate surplus.

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge

During the Accumulation Phase, we deduct a mortality and expense risk charge from the assets of the Variable Account at an effective annual rate equal to 1.00%, if your initial Purchase Payment was less than $1,000,000, or 0.85% if your initial Purchase Payment was $1,000,000 or more. However, if you annuitize your Contract prior to your eighth Contract Anniversary, we will deduct an additional 0.25% during the Income Phase to offset the increased mortality risk during this phase.

We assume numerous mortality and expense risks under the Contracts. These risks include, but are not limited to, (1) the risk that arises from our contractual obligation to continue to make annuity payments to each Annuitant, regardless of how long the Annuitant lives and regardless of how long all Annuitants as a group live; (2) the risk that arises from our contractual obligation to pay a death benefit upon the death of the Participant prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, including in cases where the death benefit is greater than a Contract’s Account Value; (3) the risk that our cost of providing benefits according to the terms of any optional death benefit riders will exceed the amount of the charges we deduct for those riders; and (4) the risk that the annual Account Fee and the administrative expense charge we assess under the Contract may be insufficient to cover the actual total administrative expenses we incur. If the amount of the charge is insufficient to cover our costs resulting from these and other mortality and expense risks, we will bear the loss. If, as we expect, the amount of the charge is more than sufficient to cover the risks, we will make a profit on the charge. We may use this profit for any proper corporate purpose, including the payment of marketing and distribution expenses for the Contract. In setting the rate of this charge, we not only consider our expected mortality and expense risks, but also our objective to earn a profit from the Contracts, after all of the costs, expenses, credits, and benefits we expect to pay in connection with the Contracts.


 
 

 

Charges for Optional Death Benefits

If you elect an optional death benefit, we will deduct, during the Accumulation Phase, a charge from the assets of the Variable Account depending upon which optional death benefit(s) you elect. The effective annual percentage rates of these charges are set out below.

* As defined under “Optional Death Benefits.”

Premium Taxes

Some states and local jurisdictions impose a premium tax on us that is equal to a specified percentage of the Purchase Payments you make. In many states there is no premium tax. We believe that the amounts of applicable premium taxes currently range from 0% to 3.5%. You should consult a qualified tax professional to find out if you could be subject to a premium tax and the amount of any tax.

In order to reimburse us for the premium tax we may pay on Purchase Payments, our policy is to deduct the amount of such taxes from the amount you apply to provide an annuity at the time of annuitization. However, we reserve the right to deduct the amount of any applicable tax from your Account at any time, including at the time you make a Purchase Payment or make a full or partial withdrawal. We do not make any profit on the deductions we make to reimburse premium taxes.

Fund Expenses

There are fees and expenses deducted from each Fund. These fees and expenses are described in the Fund prospectus(es) and related Statements of Additional Information.

Modification in the Case of Group Contracts

For Group Contracts, we may modify the annual Account Fee, the administrative expense charge and the mortality and expense risk charge upon notice to Participants. However, such modification will apply only with respect to Participant Accounts established after the effective date of the modification.

DEATH BENEFIT

If the Covered Person dies during the Accumulation Phase, we will pay a death benefit to the designated Beneficiary(ies), using the payment method elected (a single cash payment or one of our Annuity Options). If the Beneficiary is not living on the date of death of the Covered Person, we will pay the death benefit in one sum to your estate. We do not pay a death benefit if the Covered Person dies during the Income Phase. However, the Beneficiary will receive any annuity payments provided under an Annuity Option that is in effect. If the Contract names more than one Covered Person, we will pay the death benefit upon the first death of such Covered Persons.

Amount of Death Benefit

To calculate the amount of the death benefit, we use a “Death Benefit Date.” The Death Benefit Date is the date we receive proof of the death of the Covered Person in an acceptable form (“Due Proof of Death”) if you have elected a death benefit payment method before the death of the Covered Person and it remains in effect. Otherwise, the Death Benefit Date is the later of the date we receive Due Proof of Death or the date we receive the Beneficiary’s election of either payment method or, if the Beneficiary is your spouse, Contract continuation. If we do not receive the Beneficiary’s election within 60 days after we receive Due Proof of Death, we reserve the right to provide a lump sum to your Beneficiary.

The amount of the death benefit is determined as of the Death Benefit Date.

The Basic Death Benefit

In general, if you were 85 or younger on your Contract Date (the date we accepted your first Purchase Payment), the death benefit will be the greatest of the following amounts:

 
(1)
your Account Value for the Valuation Period during which the Death Benefit Date occurs;

 
(2)
the amount we would pay if you had surrendered your entire Account on the Death Benefit Date; and

 
(3)
your total Purchase Payments (adjusted for partial withdrawals) as of the Death Benefit Date. See “Calculating the Death Benefit.” A withdrawal may cause the basic death benefit to decrease by more than the amount of the withdrawal.

For examples of how to calculate this basic death benefit, see Appendix C.

If you were 86 or older on your Contract Date, the death benefit is equal to amount (2) above. Because this amount will reflect any applicable withdrawal charges and Market Value Adjustment, it may be less than your Account Value.

Optional Death Benefits

Subject to availability in your state, you may enhance the “Basic Death Benefit” by electing one or more of the following optional death benefits. You must make your election before your Contract Date. You will pay a charge for each optional death benefit you elect. (For a description of these charges, see “Charges for Optional Death Benefits.”) The optional death benefits are available only if you are younger than 80 on the Contract Date. Any optional death benefit election may not be changed after the Contract is issued. The death benefit under all of optional death benefits will be adjusted for all partial withdrawals as described in this Prospectus under the heading “Calculating the Death Benefit.” For examples of how the death benefit is calculated under the optional death benefits, see Appendix D.

If your Contract is a Qualified Contract, required minimum distributions under the Internal Revenue Code may affect the value of this optional deathbenefit to you. Please refer to “Impact of Optional Death Benefits” under “TAX CONSIDERATIONS” for more information regarding tax issues that you should consider before electing an optional death benefit.

Maximum Anniversary Account Value (“MAV”)

Under MAV, the death benefit will be the greater of:

 
·
the amount payable under the basic death benefit above, or

 
·
your highest Account Value on any Account Anniversary before your 81st birthday, adjusted for any subsequent Purchase Payments and partial withdrawals made between that Account Anniversary and the Death Benefit Date.

5% Premium Roll-Up (“5% Roll-Up”)

Under 5% Roll-Up, the death benefit will be the greater of:

 
·
the amount payable under the basic death benefit above, or

 
·
the sum of your total Purchase Payments plus interest accruals, adjusted for partial withdrawals.

Interest accrues at a rate of 5% per year on Purchase Payments and transfers to the Variable Account while they remain in the Variable Account. The 5% interest accruals will continue until the earlier of:

 
·
the first day of the month following your 80th birthday, or

 
·
the day the death benefit amount under this rider equals twice the total of your Purchase Payments and transferred amounts, adjusted for withdrawals.


 
 

 

Earnings Enhancement Benefit (“EEB”)

If you elect the EEB death benefit, your death benefit will be the amount payable under the basic death benefit, plus the “EEB amount.” Calculated as of your Death Benefit Date, the “EEB amount” is determined as follows:

 
·
If you are 69 or younger on your Contract Date, the “EEB amount” will be 40% of the difference between your Account Value and your Net Purchase Payments, up to a cap. The cap is 40% of the Net Purchase Payments made prior to your death.

 
·
If you are between the ages of 70 and 79 on your Contract Date, the “EEB amount” will be 25% of the difference between your Account Value and your Net Purchase Payments, up to a cap. The cap is 25% of the Net Purchase Payments prior to your death.

Earnings Enhancement Benefit Plus (“EEB Plus”)

If you elect the EEB Plus death benefit, your death benefit will be the amount payable under the basic death benefit, plus the “EEB Plus amount.” Calculated as of the Death Benefit Date, the “EEB Plus amount” is determined as follows:

 
·
If you are 69 or younger on your Contract Date, the “EEB Plus amount” will be 40% of the difference between your Account Value and your Net Purchase Payments, up to a cap. The cap is 100% of the Net Purchase Payments made prior to your death. After the 7th Account Year, the cap is 100% of the difference between your Net Purchase Payments and any Purchase Payments made within the twelve months prior to your death.

 
·
If you are between the ages of 70 and 79 on your Contract Date, the “EEB Plus amount” will be 25% of the difference between your Account Value and your Net Purchase Payments, up to a cap. The cap is 40% of the Net Purchase Payments made prior to your death. After the 7th Account Year, the cap is 40% of the difference between your Net Purchase Payments and any Purchase Payments made in the twelve months prior to your death.

Earnings Enhancement Benefit Plus with MAV (“EEB Plus MAV”)

If you elect EEB Plus MAV, your death benefit will be the death benefit payable under the MAV optional death benefit plus the “EEB Plus MAV amount.” Calculated as of your Death Benefit Date, the “EEB Plus MAV amount” is as follows:

 
·
If you are 69 or younger on your Contract Date, the “EEB Plus MAV amount” will be 40% of the difference between the death benefit payable under the MAV death benefit and your Net Purchase Payments, up to a cap. The cap is 100% of Net Purchase Payments made prior to your death. After your 7th Account Year, the cap is 100% of the difference between your Net Purchase Payments and any Purchase Payments made in the twelve months prior to your death.

 
·
If you are between the ages of 70 and 79 on your Contract Date, the “EEB Plus MAV amount” will be 25% of the difference between the death benefit payable under the MAV death benefit and your Net Purchase Payments, up to a cap. The cap is 40% of Net Purchase Payments made prior to your death. After your 7th Account Year, the cap is 40% of the difference between your Net Purchase Payments and any Purchase Payments made in the twelve months prior to your death.

Earnings Enhancement Benefit Plus with 5% Roll-Up (“EEB Plus 5% Roll-Up”)

If you elect the EEB Plus 5% Roll-Up death benefit, your death benefit will be the death benefit payable under the 5% Roll-Up Rider plus the “EEB Plus 5% Roll-Up amount.” Calculated as of your Death Benefit Date, the “EEB Plus 5% Roll-Up amount” is determined as follows:

 
·
If you are 69 or younger on your Contract Date, the “EEB Plus 5% Roll-Up amount” will be 40% of the difference between the death benefit payable under the 5% Roll-Up Rider and your Net Purchase Payments, up to a cap. The cap is 100% of Net Purchase Payments made prior to your death. After your 7th Account Year, the cap is 100% of the difference between your Net Purchase Payments and any Purchase Payments made in the twelve months prior to your death.

 
·
If you are between the ages of 70 and 79 on your Contract Date, the “EEB Plus 5% Roll-Up amount” will be 25% of the difference between the death benefit payable under the 5% Roll-Up Rider and your Net Purchase Payments, up to a cap. The cap is 40% of Net Purchase Payments made prior to your death. After your 7th Account Year, the cap is 40% of the difference between your Net Purchase Payments and any Purchase Payments made in the twelve months prior to your death.


 
 

 

Selecting Multiple Death Benefit Riders

The MAV death benefit, the 5% Roll-Up death benefit, and the EEB death benefit can be combined. If you elect more than one of these three optional death benefits, your death benefit will be calculated as follows:

 
·
MAV combined with 5% Roll-Up: The death benefit will equal the greater of the death benefit under MAV and the death benefit under 5% Roll-Up.

 
·
MAV combined with EEB: The death benefit will equal the death benefit under MAV, plus the “EEB amount.” The “EEB amount” is calculated using the Account Value before the application of the MAV optional death benefit.

 
·
EEB combined with 5% Roll-Up: The death benefit will equal the death benefit under 5% Roll-Up, plus the “EEB amount.” The “EEB amount” is calculated using the Account Value before the application of the 5% Roll-Up death benefit.

 
·
MAV,  5% Roll-Up  and EEB: The death benefit will equal the greater of the death benefit under MAV or the death benefit under 5% Roll-Up , plus the “EEB amount.” The “EEB amount” is calculated using the Account Value before the application of the 5% Roll-Up and the MAV death benefits.

The EEB Plus, EEB Plus MAV, and EEB Plus 5% Roll-Up optional death benefits are designed to be “comprehensive” benefits and may not be combined with each other or with any of the other death benefits.

Spousal Continuance

If you are the Covered Person and your spouse is the Beneficiary, upon your death, your spouse may elect to continue the Contract as the Participant and Covered Person, rather than receive the death benefit amount. In that case, we will not pay a death benefit, but the Contract’s Account Value will be equal to your Contract’s death benefit amount, as defined under the “Basic Death Benefit” or any optional death benefit you have selected. All Contract provisions, including any optional death benefits you have selected (subject to the optional death benefit age restriction), will continue as if your surviving spouse had purchased the Contract on the Death Benefit Date with a deposit equal to the death benefit amount. For purposes of calculating death benefits and expenses from that date forward, your surviving spouse’s age on the original effective date of the Contract will be used. Upon surrender or annuitization, this increased amount to the surviving spouse will not be treated as premium, but will be treated as income.

Calculating the Death Benefit

In calculating the death benefit amount payable under option (3) of the “Basic Death Benefit” or any of the optional death benefit riders, any partial withdrawals will reduce the death benefit amount to an amount equal to the death benefit amount immediately before the withdrawal multiplied by the ratio of the Account Value immediately after the withdrawal to the Account Value immediately before the withdrawal. A withdrawal may cause the basic death benefit to decrease by more than the amount of the withdrawal.

If the death benefit is the amount payable under options (2) or (3) of the “Basic Death Benefit” or under any of the optional death benefit riders, your Account Value may be increased by the excess, if any, of that amount over option (1) of the “Basic Death Benefit.” Any such increase will be allocated to the Sub-Accounts in proportion to your Account Value in those Sub-Accounts on the Death Benefit Date. Such increase will be made only if the Beneficiary elects to annuitize, elects to defer annuitization, or elects to continue the Contract. Also, any portion of this new Account Value attributed to the Fixed Account will be transferred to the available Money Market Fund investment option (without the application of a Market Value Adjustment). If a surviving spouse, as the named Beneficiary, elects to continue the Contract after the Covered Person’s death, the surviving spouse may transfer any such Fixed Account portion back to the Fixed Account and begin a new Guarantee Period, if we are then currently offering Fixed Account options.

Method of Paying Death Benefit

The death benefit may be paid in a single cash payment or as an annuity (either fixed, variable or a combination), under one or more of our Annuity Options. We describe the Annuity Options in this Prospectus under “The Income Phase - Annuity Provisions.”

During the Accumulation Phase, you may elect the method of payment for the death benefit. These elections are made by sending us at our mailing address an election form, which we will provide. If no such election is in effect on the date of your death, the Beneficiary may elect either a single cash payment or an annuity. If the Beneficiary is your spouse, the Beneficiary may elect to continue the Contract. This election is made by sending us a letter of instruction. If we do not receive the Beneficiary’s election within 60 days after we receive Due Proof of Death, we will pay the death benefit in a single cash payment.

If we pay the death benefit in the form of an Annuity Option, the Beneficiary becomes the Annuitant/Payee under the terms of that Annuity Option.

Non-Qualified Contracts

If your Contract is a Non-Qualified Contract, special distribution rules apply to the payment of the death benefit. The amount of the death benefit must be distributed either (1) as a lump sum within five years after your death, or (2) if in the form of an annuity, over a period not greater than the life or expected life of the “designated beneficiary” within the meaning of Section 72(s) of the Internal Revenue Code, with payments beginning no later than one year after your death.

The person you have named as Beneficiary under your Contract, if any, will be the “designated beneficiary.” If the named Beneficiary is not living and no contingent beneficiary has been named, the surviving Participant, if any, or the estate of the deceased Participant automatically becomes the designated beneficiary.

If the designated beneficiary is your surviving spouse, your spouse may continue the Contract in his or her own name as Participant. To make this election, your spouse must give us written notification within 60 days after we receive Due Proof of Death. The special distribution rules will then apply on the death of your spouse. To understand what happens when your spouse continues the Contract, see “Spousal Continuance.”

During the Income Phase, if the Annuitant dies, the remaining value of the Annuity Option in place must be distributed at least as rapidly as the method of distribution under that option.

If the Participant is not a natural person, these distribution rules apply upon the death of any Annuitant.

Payments made in contravention of these special rules would adversely affect the treatment of the Contracts as annuity contracts under the Internal Revenue Code. Neither you nor the Beneficiary may exercise rights that would have that effect.

Selection and Change of Beneficiary

You select your Beneficiary in your Application. You may change your Beneficiary at any time by sending us written notice on our required form, unless you previously made an irrevocable Beneficiary designation. A new Beneficiary designation is not effective until we record the change.

34. Payment of Death Benefit

Payment of the death benefit in cash will be made within seven days of the Death Benefit Date, except if we are permitted to defer payment in accordance with the Investment Company Act of 1940. If an Annuity Option is elected, the Annuity Commencement Date will be the first day of the second calendar month following the Death Benefit Date, and your Account will remain in effect until the Annuity Commencement Date.

Due Proof of Death

We accept any of the following as proof of any person’s death:

 
·
an original certified copy of an official death certificate;

 
·
an original certified copy of a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as to the finding of death; or

 
·
any other proof we find satisfactory.

THE INCOME PHASE - ANNUITY PROVISIONS

During the Income Phase, we make regular monthly annuity payments to the Annuitant.

The Income Phase of your Contract begins with the Annuity Commencement Date. On that date, we apply your Account Value, adjusted as described under the Annuity Option(s) you have selected, and we make the first annuity payment.

Once the Income Phase begins, no lump sum settlement option or cash withdrawals are permitted, except pursuant to Annuity Option D, Monthly Payments for a Specified Period Certain, as described below under the heading “Annuity Options,” and you cannot change the Annuity Option selected. (Also, a Beneficiary receiving payments after the Annuitant’s death under Option B, Life Annuity with 60, 120, 180 or 240 Monthly Payments Certain, may elect to receive the discounted value of the remaining payments in a single sum, as discussed under “Annuity Options.”) You may request a full withdrawal before the Annuity Commencement Date, which will be subject to all charges applicable on withdrawals. (See “Withdrawals, Withdrawal Charges, and Market Value Adjustment.”)

Selection of the Annuitant or Co-Annuitant

You select the Annuitant in your Application. The Annuitant is the person who receives annuity payments during the Income Phase and on whose life these payments are based. In your Contract, the Annuity Option(s) refer to the Annuitant as the “Payee.” If you name someone other than yourself as Annuitant and the Annuitant dies before the Income Phase, you become the Annuitant.

In a Non-Qualified Contract, if you name someone other than yourself as Annuitant, you may also select a Co-Annuitant, who will become the new Annuitant if the original Annuitant dies before the Income Phase. If both the Annuitant and Co-Annuitant die before the Income Phase, you become the Annuitant. If you have named both an Annuitant and a Co-Annuitant, you may designate one of them to become the sole Annuitant as of the Annuity Commencement Date, if both are living at that time. If you have not made that designation on the 30th day before the Annuity Commencement Date, and both the Annuitant and the Co-Annuitant are still living, the Co-Annuitant will become the Annuitant.

When an Annuity Option has been selected as the method of paying the death benefit, the Beneficiary is the Payee of the annuity payment.

Selection of the Annuity Commencement Date

You select the Annuity Commencement Date in your Application. The following restrictions apply to the date you may select:

 
·
The earliest possible Annuity Commencement Date is the first day of the second month following your Contract Date.

 
·
The latest possible Annuity Commencement Date is the first day of the month following the Annuitant’s 95th birthday (“maximum Annuity Commencement Date”) or, if there is a Co-Annuitant, the 95th birthday of the younger of the Annuitant and Co-Annuitant.

 
·
The Annuity Commencement Date must always be the first day of a calendar month.

You may change the Annuity Commencement Date by sending us written notice, in a form acceptable to us, with the following additional limitations:

 
·
We must receive your notice, in good order, at least 30 days before the current Annuity Commencement Date.

 
·
The new Annuity Commencement Date must be at least 30 days after we receive the notice.

There may be other restrictions on your selection of the Annuity Commencement Date imposed by your retirement plan or applicable law. In most situations, current law requires that for a Qualified Contract, certain minimum distributions must commence no later than April 1 following the year the Annuitant reaches age 70½ (or, for Qualified Contracts other than IRAs, no later than April 1 following the year the Annuitant retires, if later than the year the Annuitant reaches age 70½).

Annuity Options

We offer the following Annuity Options for payments during the Income Phase. Each Annuity Option may be selected for a Variable Annuity, a Fixed Annuity, or a combination of both. We may also agree to other settlement options, at our discretion.

Annuity Option A - Life Annuity

We provide monthly payments during the lifetime of the Annuitant. Annuity payments stop when the Annuitant dies. There is no provision for continuation of any payments to a Beneficiary.

Annuity Option B - Life Annuity with 60, 120, 180 or 240 Monthly Payments Certain

We make monthly payments during the lifetime of the Annuitant. In addition, we guarantee that the Beneficiary will receive monthly payments for the remainder of the period certain, if the Annuitant dies during that period. The election of a longer period results in smaller monthly payments. If no Beneficiary is designated, we pay the discounted value of the remaining payments in one sum to the Annuitant’s estate. The Beneficiary may also elect to receive the discounted value of the remaining payments in one sum. The discount rate for a Variable Annuity will be the assumed interest rate of 3%; the discount rate for a Fixed Annuity will be based on the interest rate we used to determine the amount of each payment.

Annuity Option C - Joint and Survivor Annuity

We make monthly payments during the lifetime of the Annuitant and another person you designate and during the lifetime of the survivor of the two. We stop making payments when the survivor dies. There is no provision for continuance of any payments to a Beneficiary.

Annuity Option D - Monthly Payments for a Specified Period Certain

We make monthly payments for a specified period of time from 5 to 30 years, as you elect. The longer the period you elect, the smaller your monthly payments will be. If payments under this option are paid on a variable annuity basis, the Annuitant may elect to receive, at any time, some or all of the discounted value of the remaining payments, less any applicable withdrawal charge; the discount rate for this purpose will be the assumed interest rate of 3%. If the Annuitant dies during the period selected, the remaining income payments are made as described above for the payments to a Beneficiary under Annuity Option B. The election of this Annuity Option may result in the imposition of a penalty tax. The 5, 6, 7, 8, & 9-year period certain options are not available during your first seven Account Years unless (a) you or your Beneficiary are selecting this Annuity Option to be used as the method of payment for the death benefit and (b) your Beneficiary’s life expectancy on the date of the first payment exceeds the selected period.

Selection of Annuity Option

You select one or more of the Annuity Options, which you may change during the Accumulation Phase, as long as we receive your selection or change in writing at least 30 days before the Annuity Commencement Date. If we have not received your written selection on the 30th day before the Annuity Commencement Date, you will receive Annuity Option B, for a life annuity with 120 monthly payments certain.

You must specify the proportion of your Adjusted Account Value you wish to provide a Variable Annuity or a Fixed Annuity. Under a Variable Annuity, the dollar amount of payments will vary, while under a Fixed Annuity, the dollar amount of payments will remain the same. If you do not specify a Variable Annuity or a Fixed Annuity, your Adjusted Account Value will be divided between Variable Annuities and Fixed Annuities in the same proportions as your Account Value was divided between the Variable and Fixed Accounts on the Annuity Commencement Date. You may allocate your Adjusted Account Value applied to a Variable Annuity among the Sub-Accounts, or we will use your existing allocations.

There may be additional limitations on the options you may elect under your particular retirement plan or applicable law.

Remember that the Annuity Options may not be changed once annuity payments begin.

Amount of Annuity Payments

Adjusted Account Value

The Adjusted Account Value is the amount we apply to provide a Variable Annuity and/or a Fixed Annuity. We calculate Adjusted Account Value by taking your Account Value on the Business Day just before the Annuity Commencement Date and making the following adjustments:

 
·
We deduct a proportional amount of the Account Fee, based on the fraction of the current Account Year that has elapsed.

 
·
If applicable, we apply the Market Value Adjustment to your Account Value in the Fixed Account, which may result in a deduction, an addition, or no change.

 
·
We deduct any applicable premium tax or similar tax if not previously deducted.


 
 

 

Variable Annuity Payments

On the Annuity Commencement Date, we will exchange your Account’s Variable Accumulation Units for Annuity Units upon which we will assess annual insurance charges of 1.15% of your average daily Annuity Unit values (1.00% if your initial Purchase Payment was $1,000,000 or more). If your Annuity Commencement Date is within seven years of the Contract Date, the annual insurance charges will be increased by 0.25%. Variable Annuity payments may vary each month. We determine the dollar amount of the first payment using the portion of your Adjusted Account Value applied to a Variable Annuity and the “annuity payment rates” in your Contract, which are based on an assumed interest rate of 3% per year, compounded annually. See “Annuity Payment Rates.”

To calculate the remaining payments, we convert the amount of the first payment into Annuity Units for each Sub-Account; we determine the number of those Annuity Units by dividing the portion of the first payment attributable to the Sub-Account by the Annuity Unit value of that Sub-Account for the Valuation Period ending just before the Annuity Commencement Date. This number of Annuity Units for each Sub-Account will remain constant (unless the Annuitant requests a transfer among Sub-Accounts). However, the dollar amount of the next Variable Annuity payment, which is the sum of the number of Annuity Units for each Sub-Account times its Annuity Unit value for the Valuation Period ending just before the date of the payment, will increase, decrease, or remain the same, depending on the net investment return of the Sub-Accounts.

If the net investment return of the Sub-Accounts selected is the same as the assumed interest rate of 3%, compounded annually, the payments will remain level. If the net investment return exceeds the assumed interest rate, payments will increase and, conversely, if it is less than the assumed interest rate, payments will decrease.

Please refer to the Statement of Additional Information for more information about calculating Variable Annuity Units and Variable Annuity payments, including examples of these calculations.

Fixed Annuity Payments

Fixed Annuity payments are the same each month. We determine the dollar amount of each Fixed Annuity payment using the fixed portion of your Adjusted Account Value and the applicable annuity payment rates. These will be either (1) the rates in your Contract, which are based on a minimum guaranteed interest rate of 2.5% per year, compounded annually, or (2) new rates we have published and are using on the Annuity Commencement Date, if they are more favorable. (See “Annuity Payment Rates.”)

Minimum Payments

If your Adjusted Account Value is less than $2,000, or the first annuity payment for any Annuity Option is less than $20, we will pay the Adjusted Account Value to the Annuitant in one payment.

Transfer of Variable Annuity Units

During the Income Phase, the Annuitant may transfer Annuity Units in one Sub-Account for Annuity Units in another Sub-Account, up to 12 times each Account Year. Any such transfers may be subject to any restrictions or other policies that the Funds have adopted to protect the Funds from short-term trading or other practices that are potentially harmful to the Fund (the “Funds’ Shareholder Trading Policies”). The applicability of the Funds’ Shareholder Trading Policies is the same during the Income Phase as during the Accumulation Phase, and this is discussed in this Prospectus under “Funds’ Shareholder Trading Policies.” For the reasons discussed there, you should review and comply with each Fund’s Shareholder Trading Policies, which are disclosed in the Funds’ current prospectuses.

To make a transfer, the Annuitant sends us, at our mailing address, a written request stating the number of Annuity Units in the Sub-Account he or she wishes to transfer and the new Sub-Account for which Annuity Units are requested. The number of new Annuity Units will be calculated so the dollar amount of an annuity payment on the date of the transfer would not be affected. To calculate this number, we use Annuity Unit values for the Valuation Period during which we receive the transfer request.

Before transferring Annuity Units in one Sub-Account for those in another, the Annuitant should carefully review the relevant Fund prospectuses for the investment objectives and risk disclosure of the Funds in which the Sub-Accounts invest.

During the Income Phase, we permit only transfers among Sub-Accounts. No transfers to or from a Fixed Annuity are permitted.


 
 

 

Account Fee

During the Income Phase, we deduct the annual Account Fee of $35 in equal amounts from each Variable Annuity payment. We do not deduct the annual Account Fee from Fixed Annuity payments.

Annuity Payment Rates

Annuity payment rates are the rates we use to determine the dollar amount of an annuity payment under each Annuity Option. The Contracts contain annuity payment rate schedules for each Annuity Option described in this Prospectus. These schedules show, for each $1,000 applied, the dollar amount of: (a) the first monthly Variable Annuity payment based on the assumed interest rate specified in the applicable Contract (3% per year, compounded annually); and (b) the monthly Fixed Annuity payment, when this payment is based on the minimum guaranteed interest rate specified in the Contract (at least 2.5% per year, compounded annually). We may change these rates under Group Contracts for Accounts established after the effective date of such change (see “Other Contract Provisions - Modification”).

The annuity payment rates may vary according to the Annuity Option elected and the adjusted age of the Annuitant. The Contracts also describe the method of determining the adjusted age of the Annuitant. The mortality table used in determining the annuity payment rates for Annuity Options A, B and C is the Annuity 2000 Table.

Annuity Options as Method of Payment for Death Benefit

You or your Beneficiary may also select one or more Annuity Options to be used in the event of the covered person’s death before the Income Phase, as described under the “Death Benefit” section of this Prospectus. In that case, your Beneficiary will be the Annuitant. The Annuity Commencement Date will be the first day of the second month beginning after the Death Benefit Date.

OTHER CONTRACT PROVISIONS

 Exercise of Contract Rights

An Individual Contract belongs to the individual to whom the Contract is issued. A Group Contract belongs to the Owner. In the case of a Group Contract, the Owner may expressly reserve all Contract rights and privileges; otherwise, each Participant will be entitled to exercise such rights and privileges. In any case, such rights and privileges can be exercised without the consent of the Beneficiary (other than an irrevocably designated Beneficiary) or any other person. Such rights and privileges may be exercised only before the Annuity Commencement Date, except as the Contract otherwise provides.

The Annuitant becomes the Payee on and after the Annuity Commencement Date. The Beneficiary becomes the Payee on the death of the Covered Person prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, or on the death of the Annuitant after the Annuity Commencement Date. Such Payee may thereafter exercise such rights and privileges, if any, of ownership which continue.

Change of Ownership

Ownership of a Qualified Contract may not be transferred except to: (1) the Annuitant; (2) a trustee or successor trustee of a pension or profit sharing trust which is qualified under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code; (3) the employer of the Annuitant, provided that the Qualified Contract after transfer is maintained under the terms of a retirement plan qualified under Section 403(a) of the Internal Revenue Code for the benefit of the Annuitant; (4) the trustee or custodian of an individual retirement account plan qualified under Section 408 of the Internal Revenue Code for the benefit of the Participants under a Group Contract; or (5) as otherwise permitted from time to time by laws and regulations governing the retirement or deferred compensation plans for which a Qualified Contract may be issued. Subject to the foregoing, a Qualified Contract may not be sold, assigned, transferred, discounted or pledged as collateral for a loan or as security for the performance of an obligation or for any other purpose to any person other than the Company.

The Owner of a Non-Qualified Contract may change the ownership of the Contract prior to the Annuity Commencement Date; and each Participant, in like manner, may change the ownership interest in a Contract. A change of ownership will not be binding on us until we receive written notification. When we receive such notification, the change will be effective as of the date on which the request for change was signed by the Owner or Participant, as appropriate, but the change will be without prejudice to us on account of any payment we make or any action we take before receiving the change. If you change the Owner of a Non-Qualified Contract, you will become immediately liable for the payment of taxes on any gain realized under the Contract prior to the change of ownership, including possible liability for a 10% federal excise tax.

Change of ownership may affect the availability of optional death benefit riders or the expenses incurred with the optional death benefit riders.

Voting of Fund Shares

To the extent required by law, we will vote all shares held in the Variable Account in accordance with instructions we receive from persons with voting interests in the Funds. During the Accumulation Phase, you will have the right to give voting instructions, except in the case of a Group Contract in which the Owner has reserved this right. During the Income Phase, the Payee (that is, the Annuitant or Beneficiary entitled to receive benefits) is the person having the right to give voting instructions.

Before a vote of the shareholders of a Fund occurs, each person with voting interests in the Fund will receive voting materials from us. We will ask those persons to instruct us on how to vote and to return their respective voting instructions to us in a timely manner. Each such person is permitted to cast votes based on the dollar value of the shares of each Fund that we hold for your Contract in the corresponding Sub-Account. We calculate this value based on the number of Variable Accumulation Units or Variable Annuity Units allocated to your Contract as of the date set by the Fund and the value of each Variable Accumulation Unit or Variable Annuity Unit on that date. We count fractional votes.

We will vote any shares attributable to us and Fund shares for which no timely voting instructions are received in the same proportion as the shares for which we receive instructions from person(s) with voting interests in the Fund. Because of this method of proportional voting, a small number of persons with voting interests in the Fund may determine the outcome of a shareholder vote. If, however, we determine that we are permitted to vote the Fund shares in our own right, then we may do so.

Note: Owners of Qualified Contracts issued on a group basis may be subject to other voting provisions of the particular retirement plan and under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Employees who contribute to retirement plans that are funded by the Contracts may be entitled to instruct the Owners as to how to instruct us to vote the Fund shares attributable to their contributions. Such retirement plans may also provide the additional extent, if any, to which an Owner shall follow voting instructions of persons with rights under those plans. If no voting instructions are received from any such person with respect to a particular Contract, the Owner may instruct us as to how to vote the number of Fund shares for which instructions may be given.

Reports to Owners

We will send you, by regular U.S. mail, confirmation of all Purchase Payments (including any interest credited), withdrawals, (including any withdrawal charges, negative market value adjustments, and federal taxes on withdrawals), minimum distributions, death benefit payments, and transfers (excluding dollar-cost averaging transfers). Such confirmations will be sent within two business days after the transaction occurs.

In addition, within five business days after each calendar quarter, we will send you a statement showing your current Account Value, death benefit value, and investment allocation by asset class. Each quarterly statement will detail transactions that occurred during the last calendar quarter including Purchase Payments, annuity payments, transfers (including dollar-cost averaging transfers), partial withdrawals, systematic withdrawals, minimum distributions, portfolio rebalancing, asset reallocations, interest credited on fixed accounts, and annual contract fees assessed.

We will also send you annual and semi-annual reports of the funds in which you are invested, including a list of investments held by each portfolio as of the current date of the report.

If you have enrolled in the electronic delivery service and consented to receive documents electronically, we will send you an email at the address you provided notifying you when we have posted your confirmations, statements, and reports on our website.

It is your obligation to review each such statement carefully and to report to us, at the address or telephone number provided on the statement, any errors or discrepancies in the information presented therein within 60 days of the date of such statement. Unless we receive notice of any such error or discrepancy from you within such period, we may not be responsible for correcting the error or discrepancy.

Substitution of Securities

Shares of any or all Funds may not always be available for investment under the Contract. We may add or delete Funds or other investment companies as variable investment options under the Contract. We may also substitute for the shares held in any Sub Account shares of another Fund or shares of another registered open-end investment company or unit investment trust, provided that the substitution has been approved, if required, by the SEC. You will receive notice of any such Fund changes that affect your Contract by a supplement to this Prospectus.

Change in Operation of Variable Account

At our election and subject to any necessary vote by persons having the right to give instructions with respect to the voting of Fund shares held by the Sub-Accounts, the Variable Account may be operated as a management company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or it may be deregistered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 in the event registration is no longer required. Deregistration of the Variable Account requires an order by the SEC. In the event of any change in the operation of the Variable Account pursuant to this provision, we may supplement this Prospectus to reflect the change and take such other action as may be necessary and appropriate to effect the change.

Splitting Units

We reserve the right to split or combine the value of Variable Accumulation Units, Annuity Units or any of them. In effecting any such change of unit values, strict equity will be preserved and no change will have a material effect on the benefits or other provisions of the Contract. Any changes we make by splitting or combining Variable Accumulation Unit values must comply with federal securities laws and regulations.

Modification

Upon notice to the Participant, in the case of an Individual Contract, and the Owner and Participant(s), in the case of a Group Contract (or the Payee(s) during the Income Phase), we may modify the Contract if such modification is consistent with federal securities laws and regulations and: (1) is necessary to make the Contract or the Variable Account comply with any law or regulation issued by a governmental agency to which the Company or the Variable Account is subject; (2) is necessary to assure continued qualification of the Contract under the Internal Revenue Code or other federal or state laws relating to retirement annuities or annuity contracts; (3) is necessary to reflect a change in the operation of the Variable Account or the Sub-Account(s) (see “Change in Operation of Variable Account”); (4) provides additional Variable Account and/or fixed accumulation options; or (5) as may otherwise be in the best interests of Owners, Participants, or Payees, as applicable. In the event of any such modification, we may supplement this Prospectus to reflect such modification.

In addition, upon notice to the Owner, we may modify a Group Contract to change the withdrawal charges, Account Fee, mortality and expense risk charges, administrative expense charges, the tables used in determining the amount of the first monthly variable annuity and fixed annuity payments and the formula used to calculate the Market Value Adjustment, provided that such modification applies only to Participant Accounts established after the effective date of such modification. In order to exercise our modification rights in these particular instances, we must notify the Owner of such modification in writing. The notice shall specify the effective date of such modification which must be at least 60 days following the date we mail notice of modification. All of the charges and the annuity tables which are provided in the Group Contract prior to any such modification will remain in effect permanently, unless improved by the Company, with respect to Participant Accounts established prior to the effective date of such modification.

Discontinuance of New Participants

We may limit or discontinue the acceptance of new Applications and the issuance of new Certificates under a Group Contract by giving 30 days prior written notice to the Owner. This will not affect rights or benefits with respect to any Participant Accounts established under such Group Contract prior to the effective date of such limitation or discontinuance.

Reservation of Rights

We reserve the right, to the extent permitted by law, to: (1) combine any two or more variable accounts or Sub-Accounts; (2) add or delete Funds, sub-series thereof or other investment companies and corresponding Sub-Accounts; (3) add or remove Guarantee Periods available at any time for election by a Participant; and (4) restrict or eliminate any of the voting rights of Participants (or Owners) or other persons who have voting rights as to the Variable Account. Where required by law, we will obtain approval of changes from Participants or any appropriate regulatory authority. In the event of any change pursuant to this provision, we may supplement this Prospectus and make appropriate endorsement to the Contract as necessary to reflect the change.

Right to Return

If you are not satisfied with your Contract, you may return it by mailing or delivering it to us at our mailing address, as shown on the cover of this Prospectus, within 10 days, or longer if required by your state, after it was delivered to you. State law may also allow you to return the Contract to your sales representative. When we receive the returned Contract, it will be cancelled and we will refund to you your Account Value. If applicable state law requires, we will return the full amount of any Purchase Payment(s) we received.

If you are establishing an Individual Retirement Annuity (“IRA”), the Internal Revenue Code requires that we give you a disclosure statement containing certain information about the Contract and applicable legal requirements. We must give you this statement on or before the date the IRA is established. If we give you the disclosure statement before the seventh day preceding the date the IRA is established, you will not have any right of revocation under the Code. If we give you the disclosure statement at a later date, then you may give us a notice of revocation at any time within 7 days after your Contract Date. Upon such revocation, we will refund your Purchase Payment(s). This right of revocation with respect to an IRA is in addition to the return privilege set forth in the preceding paragraph. We allow a Participant establishing an IRA a “ten day free-look,” notwithstanding the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.

TAX CONSIDERATIONS

This section provides general information on the federal income tax consequences of ownership of a Contract and is not intended as tax advice. Actual federal tax consequences will vary depending on, among other things, the type of retirement plan under which your Contract is issued. Also, legislation altering the current tax treatment of annuity contracts could be enacted in the future and could apply retroactively to Contracts that were purchased before the date of enactment. We make no attempt to consider any applicable state or other income tax laws, any state and local estate or inheritance tax, or other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of distributions under a Contract. We also make no guarantee regarding the federal, state, or local tax status of any Contract or any transaction involving any Contract. You should consult a qualified tax professional for advice before purchasing a Contract or executing any other transaction (such as a rollover, distribution, withdrawal or payment) involving a Contract.

When you invest in an annuity contract, you usually do not pay taxes on your investment gains until you withdraw the money – generally for retirement purposes. If you invest in a variable annuity as part of an individual retirement plan, pension plan or employer-sponsored retirement program, your Contract is called a “Qualified Contract.” If your annuity is independent of any formal retirement or pension plan, it is termed a “Non-Qualified Contract.” The tax rules applicable to Qualified Contracts vary according to the type of retirement plan and the terms and conditions of the plan.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following discussion applies only to those Contracts issued in the United States. For a discussion of tax considerations effecting Contracts issued in Puerto Rico, see “Puerto Rico Tax Considerations.”

Taxation of Non-Qualified Contracts

Deductibility of Purchase Payments. For federal income tax purposes, Purchase Payments made under Non-Qualified Contracts are not deductible. Under certain circumstances, Purchase Payments made under Qualified Contracts may be excludible or deductible from taxable income. Any such amounts will also be excluded from the “investment in the contract” for purposes of determining the taxable portion of any distributions from a Qualified Contract. As a general rule, regardless of whether you own a Qualified or a Non-Qualified Contract, the amount of your tax liability on earnings and distributions will depend upon the specific tax rules applicable to your Contract and your particular circumstances.

Pre-Distribution Taxation of Contracts. Generally, an increase in the value of a Contract will not give rise to a current income tax liability to the Owner of a Contract or to any payee under the Contract until a distribution is received from the Contract. However, certain assignments or pledges of a Contract or loans under a Contract will be treated as distributions to the Owner of the Contract and will accelerate the taxability of any increases in the value of a Contract.

Also, corporate (or other non-natural person) Owners of a Non-Qualified Contract will generally incur a current tax liability on Account Value increases. There are certain exceptions to this current taxation rule, including: (i) any Contract that is an “immediate annuity”, which the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) defines as a single premium contract with an annuity commencement date within one year of the date of purchase which provides for a series of substantially equal periodic payments (to be made not less frequently than annually) during the annuity period, and (ii) any Contract that the non-natural person holds as agent for a natural person (such as where a bank or other entity holds a Contract as trustee under a trust agreement).

You should note that a qualified retirement plan generally provides tax deferral regardless of whether the plan invests in an annuity contract. For that reason, no decision to purchase a Qualified Contract should be based on the assumption that the purchase of a Qualified Contract is necessary to obtain tax deferral under a qualified plan.

Distributions and Withdrawals from Non-Qualified Contracts. The Account Value of a Non-Qualified Contract will generally include both (i) an amount attributable to Purchase Payments, the return of which will not be taxable, and (ii) an amount attributable to investment earnings, the receipt of which will be taxable at ordinary income rates. The relative portions of any particular distribution that derive from nontaxable Purchase Payments and taxable investment earnings depend upon the nature and the timing of that distribution.

Any withdrawal of less than your entire Account Value under a Non-Qualified Contract before the Annuity Commencement Date must be treated as a receipt of investment earnings. You may not treat such withdrawals as a non-taxable return of Purchase Payments unless you have first withdrawn the entire amount of the Account Value that is attributable to investment earnings. For purposes of determining whether an Owner has withdrawn the entire amount of the investment earnings under a Non-Qualified Contract, the Code provides that all Non-Qualified deferred annuity contracts issued by the same company to the same Owner during any one calendar year must be treated as one annuity contract. If you withdraw your entire Account Value under a Non-Qualified Contract before the Annuity Commencement Date (a “full surrender”), the taxable portion will equal the amount you receive less the “investment in the contract” (i.e., the total Purchase Payments (excluding amounts that were deductible by, or excluded from the gross income of, the Owner of a Contract), less any Purchase Payments that were amounts previously received which were not includable in income).

Annuity Payments. A Payee who receives annuity payments under a Non-Qualified Contract after the Annuity Commencement Date will generally be able to treat a portion of each payment as a nontaxable return of Purchase Payments and to treat only the remainder of each such payment as taxable investment earnings. Until the Purchase Payments have been fully recovered in this manner, the nontaxable portion of each payment will be determined by the ratio of (i) the total amount of the Purchase Payments made under the Contract, to (ii) the Payee’s expected return under the Contract. Once the Payee has received nontaxable payments in an amount equal to total Purchase Payments, no further exclusion is allowed and all future distributions will constitute fully taxable ordinary income. If payments are terminated upon the death of the Annuitant or other Payee before Purchase Payments have been fully recovered, the unrecovered Purchase Payments may be deducted on the final return of the Annuitant or other Payee.

Penalty Tax on Certain Withdrawals. A penalty tax of 10% may also apply to taxable cash withdrawals, including lump-sum payments from Non-Qualified Contracts. This penalty will generally not apply to distributions made after age 59½, to distributions pursuant to the death or disability of the Participant, to distributions that are a part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments made not less frequently than annually for life or life expectancy, or to distributions under an immediate annuity (as defined above). Other exceptions may be applicable under certain circumstances and special rules may be applicable in connection with the exceptions enumerated above. Also, additional exceptions apply to distributions from a Qualified Contract. You should consult a qualified tax professional with regard to exceptions from the penalty tax.

Taxation of Death Benefit Proceeds. Death benefits paid upon the death of a Participant are not life insurance benefits and will generally be includible in the income of the recipient to the extent they represent investment earnings under the contract. For this purpose, the amount of the investment in the contract is not affected by the Participant’s or Annuitant’s death, i.e., the investment in the Contract must still be determined by reference to the Participant’s investment in the contract. Special mandatory distribution rules also apply after the death of the Participant when the beneficiary is not the surviving spouse of the Participant.

If death benefits are distributed in a lump sum, the taxable amount of those benefits will be determined in the same manner as upon a full surrender of the contract. If death benefits are distributed under an annuity option, the taxable amount of those benefits will be determined in the same manner as annuity payments, as described above.

Transfers, Assignments or Exchanges of a Contract. A transfer or assignment of ownership of a Contract, the designation of an Annuitant other than the Owner, the selection of certain maturity dates, or the exchange of a Contract may result in certain tax consequences to you that are not discussed herein. An Owner contemplating any such transfer, assignment or exchange should consult a qualified tax professional as to the tax consequences.

Withholding. Annuity distributions are generally subject to withholding for the recipient’s federal income tax liability.  Recipients can generally elect, however, not to have tax withheld from distributions.

Multiple Contracts. All non-qualified deferred annuity contracts that are issued by us (or our affiliates) to the same owner during any calendar year are treated as one annuity contract for purposes of determining the amount includible in such owner’s income when a taxable distribution occurs.

Partial Annuitization. Under a new tax provision enacted in 2010, if part of an annuity contract’s value is applied to an annuity option that provides payments for one or more lives or for a period of at least ten years, those payments may be taxed as annuity payments instead of withdrawals. None of the payment options under the Contract is intended to qualify for this “partial annuitization” treatment.

Taxation of Qualified Contracts

“Qualified Contracts” are Contracts used with plans that receive tax-deferral treatment pursuant to specific provisions of the Code. Annuity contracts also receive tax-deferral treatment. It is not necessary that you purchase an annuity contract to receive the tax- deferral treatment available through a Qualified Contract. If you purchase this annuity Contract as a Qualified Contract, you do not receive additional tax-deferral. Therefore, if you purchase this annuity Contract as a Qualified Contract, you should do so for reasons other than obtaining tax deferral.

You may use Qualified Contracts with several types of qualified retirement plans. Because tax consequences will vary with the type of qualified retirement plan and the plan’s specific terms and conditions, we provide below only brief, general descriptions of the consequences that follow from using Qualified Contracts in connection with various types of qualified retirement plans. We stress that the rights of any person to any benefits under these plans may be subject to the terms and conditions of the plans themselves, regardless of the terms of the Qualified Contracts that you are using. These terms and conditions may include restrictions on, among other things, ownership, transferability, assignability, contributions and distributions. Adverse tax consequences may result if you do not ensure that contributions, distributions and other transactions with respect to the Contract comply with the law.

Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans. Sections 401(a), 401(k) and 403(a) of the Code permit business employers and certain associations to establish various types of retirement plans for employees. The Code requirements are similar for qualified retirement plans of corporations and those of self- employed individuals. Self-employed persons, as a general rule, may therefore use Qualified Contracts as a funding vehicle for their retirement plans. Adverse tax consequences to the retirement plan, the participant or both may result if the Contract is transferred to any individual as a means to provide benefit payments, unless the plan complies with all the requirements applicable to such benefits prior to transferring the Contract.

Tax-Sheltered Annuities. Section 403(b) of the Code permits public school employees and employees of certain types of charitable, educational and scientific organizations specified in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code to purchase annuity contracts and, subject to certain limitations, exclude the amount of purchase payments from gross income for tax purposes. The Code imposes restrictions on cash withdrawals from Section 403(b) annuities (“TSA”).

Effective October 1, 2008, we stopped issuing any new TSAs, including Texas Optional Retirement Program annuities. We no longer accept any additional Purchase Payments to any previously issued TSAs.

The Internal Revenue Service’s (“IRS”) comprehensive TSA regulations are generally effective January 1, 2009, and these regulations, subsequent IRS guidance, and/or the terms of an employer’s TSA plan impose new restrictions on TSAs, including restrictions on (1) the availability of hardship distributions and loans, (2) TSA exchanges within the same employer’s TSA plan, and (3) TSA transfers to another employer’s TSA plan. You should consult with a qualified tax professional about how the regulations affect you and your TSA.

If TSAs are to receive tax-deferred treatment, cash withdrawals of amounts attributable to salary reduction contributions (other than withdrawals of accumulation account value as of December 31, 1988) may be made only when you attain age 59½, have a severance from employment with the employer, die or become disabled (within the meaning of Section 72(m)(7) of the Code). These restrictions apply to (i) any post-1988 salary reduction contributions, (ii) any growth or interest on post-1988 salary reduction contributions, (iii) any growth or interest on pre-1989 salary reduction contributions that occurs on or after January 1, 1989, and (iv) any pre-1989 salary reduction contributions since we do not maintain records that separately account for such contributions. It is permissible, however, to withdraw post-1988 salary reduction contributions (but not the earnings attributable to such contributions) in cases of financial hardship. Financial hardship withdrawals (as well as certain other premature withdrawals) are fully taxable and will be subject to a 10% federal income tax penalty, in addition to any applicable Contract withdrawal charge. Under certain circumstances the 10% federal income tax penalty will not apply if the withdrawal is for medical expenses. A financial hardship withdrawal may not be repaid once it is taken.

The IRS’s TSA regulations provide that TSA financial hardship withdrawals will be subject to the IRS rules applicable to hardship distributions from 401(k) plans. Specifically, if you have not terminated your employment or reached age 59½, you may be able to withdraw a limited amount of monies if you have an immediate and heavy financial need and the withdrawal amount is necessary to satisfy such financial need. An immediate and heavy financial need may arise only from:

 
·
deductible medical expenses incurred by you, your spouse, or your dependents;
 
·
payments of tuition and related educational fees for the next 12 months of post-secondary education for you, your spouse, or your dependents;
 
·
costs related to the purchase of your principal residence (not including mortgage payments);
 
·
payment necessary to prevent eviction from your principal residence or foreclosure of the mortgage on your principal residence;
 
·
payments for burial or funeral expenses for your parent, spouse, children, or dependents; or
 
·
expenses for the repair of damage to your principal residence that would qualify for the federal income tax casualty deduction.

You will be required to represent in writing to us (1) that your specified immediate and heavy financial need cannot reasonably be relieved through insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of your assets, by ending any contributions you are making under your TSA plan, by other distributions and nontaxable loans under any of your qualified plans, or by borrowing from commercial sources and (2) that your requested withdrawal amount complies with applicable law, including the federal tax law limit. And, unless your TSA was issued prior to September 25, 2007 and the only payments you made to such TSA were TSA funds you transferred directly to us from another TSA carrier (a “90-24 Transfer TSA”), your TSA employer also may need to agree in writing to your hardship request.

If your TSA contains a provision that permits loans, you may request a loan but you will be required to represent in writing to us that your requested loan amount complies with applicable law, including the federal tax law limit. And, unless your TSA is a 90-24 Transfer TSA, your TSA employer also may need to agree in writing to your loan request.

TSAs, like IRAs, are subject to required minimum distributions under the Code. TSAs are unique, however, in that any account balance accruing before January 1, 1987 (the “pre-1987 balance”) needs to comply with only the minimum distribution incidental benefit (MDIB) rule and not also with the minimum distribution rules set forth in Section 401(a)(9) of the Code. This special treatment for any pre-1987 balance is, however, conditioned upon the issuer identifying the pre-1987 balance and maintaining accurate records of changes to the balance. Since we do not maintain such records, your pre-1987 balance, if any, will not be eligible for special distribution treatment.

Under the terms of a particular TSA plan, you may be entitled to transfer or exchange all or a portion of your TSA to one or more alternative funding options within the same or different TSA plan. You should consult the documents governing your TSA plan and your plan administrator for information as to such investment alternatives. If you wish to transfer/exchange your TSA, you will be able to do so only if the issuer of the new TSA certifies to us that the transfer/exchange is permissible under the TSA regulations and the applicable TSA plan. Your TSA employer also may need to agree in writing to your transfer/exchange request.

Individual Retirement Accounts and Annuities. Individual Retirement Accounts and Annuities (“IRAs”), as defined in Section 408 of the Code, permit eligible individuals to make annual contributions of up to the lesser of a specified dollar amount for the year or the amount of compensation includible in the individual’s gross income for the year. The contributions may be deductible in whole or in part, depending on the individual’s income. In addition, certain distributions from some other types of retirement plans may be “rolled over” into an IRA on a tax-deferred basis without regard to these limits. Amounts in the IRA (other than nondeductible contributions) are taxed when distributed from the IRA. A 10% penalty tax generally applies to distributions made before age 59½, unless an exception applies. The Internal Revenue Service imposes special information requirements with respect to IRAs and we will provide purchasers of the Contracts as Individual Retirement Aannuities with any necessary information. You will have the right to revoke a Contract issued as an Individual Retirement Annuity under certain circumstances, as described in the section of this Prospectus entitled “Right to Return.” If your Contract is issued in connection with an Individual Retirement Account, we have no information about the Account and you should contact the Account’s trustee or custodian.

Roth Individual Retirement Arrangements. Section 408A of the Code permits certain eligible individuals to contribute to an individual retirement program called a Roth IRA. Unlike contributions to a traditional IRA under Section 408 of the Code, contributions to a Roth IRA are not tax-deductible. Provided certain conditions are satisfied, distributions are generally tax-free. Like traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs are subject to limitations on contribution amounts and the timing of distributions. If you roll over from or convert a traditional IRA Contract into a Roth IRA Contract or your Individual Retirement Account that holds a Contract is converted to a Roth Individual Retirement Account, the fair market value of the Contract is included in taxable income. Under IRS regulations and Revenue Procedure 2006-13, fair market value may exceed the Contract’s account balance. Thus, you should consult with a qualified tax professional prior to any conversion.  Distributions from a Roth IRA are generally not taxed, except that once aggregate distributions exceed contributions to the Roth IRA, income tax and a 10% penalty tax may apply to distributions made (1) before age 59½ (subject to certain exceptions) or (2) during the five taxable years starting with the year in which the first contribution is made to any Roth IRA.  A 10% penalty tax may apply to amounts attributable to a conversion from an IRA if they are distributed during the five taxable years beginning with the year in which the conversion was made.

The Internal Revenue Service imposes special information requirements with respect to Roth IRAs and we will provide the necessary information for Contracts issued as Roth Individual Retirement Annuities. If your Contract is issued in connection with a Roth Individual Retirement Account, we have no information about the Account and you should contact the Account’s trustee or custodian.

Distributions and Withdrawals from Qualified Contracts. In most cases, all of the distributions you receive from a Qualified Contract will constitute fully taxable ordinary income. Also, a 10% penalty tax will apply to distributions prior to age 59½, except in certain circumstances.

If you receive a distribution from a Qualified Contract used in connection with a qualified pension plan, from a tax-sheltered annuity, a governmental Code Section 457 plan or an IRA and roll over some or all that distribution to another eligible plan, following the rules set out in the Code and IRS regulations, the portion of such distribution that is rolled over will not be includible in your income. An eligible rollover distribution from a qualified plan, tax-sheltered annuity or governmental Section 457 plan will be subject to 20% mandatory withholding as described below. Because the amount of the cash paid to you as an eligible rollover distribution will be reduced by this withholding, you will not be able to roll over the entire account balance under your Contract, unless you use other funds equal to the tax withholding to complete the rollover. Rollovers of IRA distributions are not subject to the 20% mandatory withholding requirement.

An eligible rollover distribution from a qualified plan, governmental Section 457 plan or tax-sheltered annuity is any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of an employee, except that the term does not include:

 
·
a distribution which is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments made annually under a lifetime annuity or for a specified period of ten years or more;

 
·
any required minimum distribution; or

 
·
any hardship distribution.

Only you or your surviving spouse Beneficiary may elect to roll over a distribution to an eligible retirement plan. However, a non-surviving-spouse Beneficiary may be able to directly transfer a distribution to a so-called inherited IRA that will be subject to the IRS distribution rules applicable to beneficiaries.

Withholding. In the case of an eligible rollover distribution (as defined above) from a Qualified Contract (other than from an IRA), we (or the plan administrator) must withhold and remit to the U.S. Government 20% of the distribution, unless the Participant or Payee elects to make a direct rollover of the distribution to another qualified retirement plan that is eligible to receive the rollover; however, a non-surviving-spouse Beneficiary may elect a direct rollover only to a so-called inherited IRA. In the case of a distribution from (i) a Non-Qualified Contract, (ii) an IRA, or (iii) a Qualified Contract where the distribution is not an eligible rollover distribution, we will withhold and remit to the U.S. Government a part of the taxable portion of each distribution unless, prior to the distribution, the Participant or Payee provides us his or her taxpayer identification number and instructs us (in the manner prescribed) not to withhold. The Participant or Payee may credit against his or her federal income tax liability for the year of distribution any amounts that we (or the plan administrator) withhold.

Investment Diversification and Control

The Treasury Department has issued regulations that prescribe investment diversification requirements for the mutual fund series underlying non-qualified variable contracts. All Non-Qualified Contracts must comply with these regulations to qualify as annuities for federal income tax purposes. The owner of a Non-Qualified Contract that does not meet these guidelines will be subject to current taxation on annual increases in value of the Contract. We believe that each Fund available as an investment option under the Contract complies with these regulations.

In certain circumstances, owners of variable annuity contracts have been considered for Federal income tax purposes to be the owners of the assets of the separate account supporting their contracts due to their ability to exercise investment control over those assets. When this is the case, the contract owners have been currently taxed on income and gains attributable to the variable account assets. There is limited guidance in this area, and some features of our Contracts, such as the flexibility of an owner to allocate premium payments and transfer amounts among the investment divisions of the separate account, have not been explicitly addressed in published rulings. While we believe that the Contracts do not give Owners investment control over separate account assets, we reserve the right to modify the Contracts as necessary to prevent an Owner from being treated as the Owner of the separate account assets supporting the Contract. Nevertheless, you should consult with a qualified tax professional on the potential impact of the investor control rules of the IRS as they relate to the investment decisions and activities you may undertake with respect to the Contract. In addition, the IRS and/or the Treasury Department may issue new rulings, interpretations or regulations on this subject in the future. Accordingly, we therefore reserve the right to modify the Contracts as necessary to attempt to prevent you from being considered the owner, for tax purposes, of the underlying assets. We also reserve the right to notify you if we determine that it is no longer practicable to maintain the Contract in a manner that was designed to prevent you from being considered the owner of the assets of the Separate Account. You bear the risk that you may be treated as the owner of Separate Account assets and taxed accordingly.

Tax Treatment of the Company and the Variable Account

As a life insurance company under the Code, we will record and report operations of the Variable Account separately from other operations. The Variable Account will not, however, constitute a regulated investment company or any other type of taxable entity distinct from our other operations. Under present law, we will not incur tax on the income of the Variable Account (consisting primarily of interest, dividends, and net capital gains) if we use this income to increase reserves under Contracts participating in the Variable Account.

Impact of Optional Death Benefit Riders

Qualified Contracts. If your Contract is a Qualified Contract other than a Roth IRA, it is subject to certain required minimum distribution (RMD) requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code and IRS regulations. Under the RMD rules, distributions must begin no later than April 1 of the calendar year following the year in which you attain age 70½ or, for non-IRAs, the date of retirement instead of age 70½ if it is later. The RMD amount for a distribution calendar year is generally calculated by dividing the Contract’s value as of 12/31 of the prior calendar year by the applicable distribution factor set forth in a Uniform Lifetime Table in the IRS regulations.

For Contracts issued in connection with traditional Individual Retirement Accounts, you should contact the Account’s trustee or custodian about RMD requirements since we only provide the trustee or custodian with the Contract’s value (including any actuarial present value of additional benefits discussed below) so that it can be used in the Account’s RMD calculations.

The IRS’s RMD regulations provide that the annual RMD amount is to be calculated based on the Contract’s Account Value as of 12/31 plus “the actuarial present value of any additional benefits” that are provided under your Contract (such as optional death benefits) which is also calculated as of 12/31. When we notify you yearly of the RMD amount, we will inform you if the calculation included the actuarial present value of any additional benefits since such inclusion would have increased your RMD amount. Because of the above actuarial present value requirements, your initial election of a Contract’s optional benefit could cause your RMD amount to be higher than it would be without such an election.. Prior to electing to participate in (or, if applicable, prior to renewing your participation in) any optional rider, you should consult with a qualified tax professional as to the possible effect of that rider on your yearly RMD amounts.

You may take an RMD amount calculated for a particular Individual Retirement Annuity from that Annuity or from another IRA of yours. Similarly, you may take an RMD amount calculated for a particular TSA annuity from that annuity or from another TSA account or TSA annuity of yours. If your Qualified Contract is an asset of a qualified retirement plan, the qualified plan is subject to the RMD requirements and the Contract, as an asset of the qualified plan, may need to be used as a source of funds for the RMDs.

If your Contract is a traditional Individual Retirement Annuity or is held by your traditional Individual Retirement Account and you convert such a traditional Annuity or Account to a Roth IRA (see “Roth Individual Retirement Arrangements”), then your initial or renewal election of an optional rider could cause your taxable income upon conversion to be higher than it would be without such an election. Prior to electing to participate in (or, if applicable, prior to renewing your participation in) any optional death benefit, you should consult with a qualified tax professional as to the possible effect of that benefit on conversion taxable income.

For Qualified Contracts issued other than as Individual Retirement Annuities, (1) we do not calculate your annual RMD amount nor do we notify you of such amount and (2) you should contact the Account’s trustee or custodian about RMD requirements since we only provide the trustee or custodian with the Contract’s value (including any actuarial present value of additional benefits discussed below) so that it can be used by the trustee or custodian in the Account’s RMD calculations.

Non-Qualified Contracts. We are required to make a determination as to the taxability of any withdrawal you make in order to be able to annually report to the IRS and your information about your withdrawal. Under the Internal Revenue Code, any withdrawal from a Non-Qualified Contract is taxable to the extent the annuity’s cash value (determined without regard to surrender charges) exceeds the investment in the contract. There is no definition of “cash value” in the Code and, for tax reporting purposes, we are currently treating it as the Account Value of the Contract. However, there can be no assurance that the IRS will agree that this is the correct cash value. The IRS could, for example, determine that the cash value is the Account Value plus an additional amount representing the value of an optional rider. If this were to occur, election of an optional rider could cause any withdrawal to have a higher proportion of the withdrawal derived from taxable investment earnings. Prior to electing to participate in an optional rider, you should consult with a qualified tax professional as to the meaning of “cash value.”

Federal Defense of Marriage Act and Same-Sex Marriages

The Contract provides that, upon your death, a surviving spouse may have certain continuation rights that he or she may elect to exercise for the Contract’s death benefit and any joint-life coverage under an optional living benefit. Because of the Federal Defense of Marriage Act, all such Contract continuation rights are available only to a person who is defined as a “spouse” under such Act and that definition does not include a same-sex spouse. Thus, under current Federal law, if you are in a same-sex marriage, your spouse would not be able to exercise any of the Contract’s spousal continuation rights. You should consult a qualified tax professional for advice before purchasing a Contract and/or joint-life coverage under an optional living benefit.

Federal Estate Taxes

While no attempt is being made to discuss the Federal estate tax implications of the Contract, a purchaser should keep in mind that the value of an annuity contract owned by a decedent and payable to a beneficiary by virtue of an annuity contract owned by a decedent and payable to a beneficiary by virtue of surviving the decedent is included in the decedent’s gross estate. Depending on the terms of the annuity contract, the value of the annuity included in the gross estate may be the value of the lump sum payment payable to the designated beneficiary or the actuarial value of the payments to be received by the beneficiary. Please consult an estate planning advisor for more information.

Generation-skipping Transfer Tax

Under certain circumstances, the Code may impose a “generation-skipping transfer tax” when all or part of an annuity contract is transferred to, or a death benefit is paid to, an individual two or more generations younger than the Owner. Regulations issued under the Code may require us to deduct the tax from your Contract, or from any applicable payment, and pay it directly to the IRS. Please consult a qualified tax professional for more information.

Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010

The Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 (the “2010 Act”) increases the federal estate tax exemption to $5,000,000 and reduces the federal estate tax rate to 35%; increases the Federal gift tax exemption to $5,000,000 and retains the federal gift tax rate at 35%; and increases the generation-skipping transfer (“GST”) tax exemption to $5,000,000 and reduces the GST tax rate to 35%.  Commencing in 2012, these exemption amounts will be indexed for inflation.

The estate, gift, and GST provisions of the 2010 Act are only effective until December 31, 2012, after which the provisions will sunset, and the federal estate, gift and GST taxes will return to their pre-2001 levels, resulting in significantly lower exemptions and significantly higher tax rates.  Between now and the end of 2012, Congress may make these provisions of the 2010 Act permanent, or they may do nothing and allow these 2010 Act provisions to sunset, or they may alter the exemptions and/or applicable tax rates.

The uncertainty as to how the current law might be modified in coming years underscores the importance of seeking guidance from a qualified professional to help ensure that your estate plan adequately addresses your needs and that of your beneficiaries under all possible scenarios.

Medicare Tax

Beginning in 2013, distributions from non-qualified annuity policies will be considered “investment income” for purposes of the newly enacted Medicare tax on investment income. Thus, in certain circumstances, a 3.8% tax may be applied to some or all of the taxable portion of distributions (e.g. earnings) to individuals whose income exceeds certain threshold amounts ($200,000 for filing single, $250,000 for married filing jointly and $125,000 for married filing separately.) Please consult a qualified tax professional for more information.

Annuity Purchases by Residents of Puerto Rico

The Internal Revenue Service has announced that income received by residents of Puerto Rico under life insurance or annuity contracts issued by a Puerto Rico branch of a United States life insurance company is U.S.-source income that is generally subject to United States federal income tax.


 
 

 

Annuity Purchases by Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Corporations

The discussion above provides general information regarding U.S. federal income tax consequences to annuity purchasers that are U.S. citizens or residents. Purchasers that are not U.S. citizens or residents will generally be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax on taxable distributions from annuity contracts at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In addition, purchasers may be subject to state and/or municipal taxes and taxes that may be imposed by the purchaser’s country of citizenship or residence. Prospective purchasers are advised to consult with a qualified tax professional regarding U.S. state, and foreign taxation with respect to an annuity contract purchase.

Possible Tax Law Changes

Although the likelihood of legislative changes is uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the Contract could change by legislation or otherwise. Consult a qualified tax professional with respect to legislative developments and their effect on the Contract.

We have the right to modify the Contract in response to legislative changes that could otherwise diminish the favorable tax treatment that annuity contract owners currently receive. We make no guarantee regarding the tax status of any contact and do not intend the above discussion as tax advice.

Puerto Rico Tax Provisions

The Contract offered by this Prospectus is considered an annuity contract under Section 1022 of the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 1994, as amended and Section 1031.01 of the 2011 Internal Revenue Code for a New Puerto Rico, as amended (collectively the “Puerto Rico Code”). Under the current provisions of the Puerto Rico Code, no income tax is payable on increases in value of accumulation shares of annuity units credited to a variable annuity contract until payments are made to the annuitant or other payee under such contract.

When payments are made from your Contract in the form of an annuity, the annuitant or other payee will be required to include as gross income the lesser of the amount received during the taxable year or the portion of the amount received equal to 3% of the aggregate premiums or other consideration paid for the annuity. The amount, if any, in excess of the included amount is excluded from gross income as a return of premium. After an amount equal to the aggregate premiums or other consideration paid for the annuity has been excluded from gross income, all of the subsequent annuity payments are considered to be taxable income.

When a payment under a Contract is made in a lump sum, the amount of the payment would be included in the gross income of the Annuitant or other Payee to the extent it exceeds the Annuitant’s aggregate premiums or other consideration paid.

The provisions of the Puerto Rico Code with respect to qualified retirement plans described in this Prospectus vary significantly from those under the Internal Revenue Code. We currently offer the Contract in Puerto Rico in connection with Individual Retirement Arrangements that qualify under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code but do not qualify under the Puerto Rico Code. See the applicable text of this Prospectus under the heading “Federal Tax Status” dealing with such Arrangements and their RMD requirements. We may make Contracts available for use with other retirement plans that similarly qualify under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code but do not qualify under the Puerto Rico Code.

As a result of IRS Revenue Ruling 2004-75, as amplified by Revenue Ruling 2004-97, we will treat Contract distributions and withdrawals occurring on or after January 1, 2005 as U.S. source income that is subject to U.S. income tax withholding and reporting. Under “TAX CONSIDERATIONS”, see “Pre-Distribution Taxation of Contracts”, “Distributions and Withdrawals from Non-Qualified Contracts”, “Withholding” and “Non-Qualified Contracts”. You should consult a qualified tax professional for advice regarding the effect of Revenue Ruling 2004-75 on your U.S. and Puerto Rico income tax situation.

For information regarding the income tax consequences of owning a Contract, you should consult a qualified tax professional.

ADMINISTRATION OF THE CONTRACT

We perform certain administrative functions relating to the Contract, Participant Accounts, and the Variable Account. These functions include, but are not limited to, maintaining the books and records of the Variable Account and the Sub-Accounts; maintaining records of the name, address, taxpayer identification number, Contract number, Participant Account number and type, the status of each Participant Account and other pertinent information necessary to the administration and operation of the Contract; processing Applications, Purchase Payments, transfers and full and partial withdrawals; issuing Contracts and Certificates; administering annuity payments; furnishing accounting and valuation services; reconciling and depositing cash receipts; providing confirmations; providing toll-free customer service lines; and furnishing telephonic transfer services.

DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACT

Contracts are sold by licensed insurance agents (“the Selling Agents”) in those states where the Contract may be lawfully sold. Such Selling Agents will be registered representatives of affiliated and unaffiliated broker-dealer firms (“the Selling Broker-Dealers”) registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 who are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and who have entered into selling agreements with the Company and the general distributor, Clarendon Insurance Agency, Inc. (“Clarendon”), One Sun Life Executive Park, Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts 02481. Clarendon is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a broker-dealer and is a member of FINRA.

The Company (or its affiliate, for purposes of this section only, collectively, “the Company”), pays the Selling Broker-Dealers compensation for the promotion and sale of the Contract. The Selling Agents who solicit sales of the Contract typically receive a portion of the compensation paid by the Company to the Selling Broker-Dealers in the form of commissions or other compensation, depending on the agreement between the Selling Broker-Dealer and their Selling Agent. This compensation is not paid directly by the Participant or the separate account. The Company intends to recoup this compensation through fees and charges imposed under the Contract, and from profits on payments received by the Company for providing administrative, marketing, and other support and services to the Funds.

The amount and timing of commissions the Company may pay to Selling Broker-Dealers may vary depending on the selling agreement but is not expected to be more than 8.50% of Purchase Payments, and 1.25% annually of the Participant’s Account Value. The Company may pay or allow other promotional incentives or payments in the form of cash or other compensation to the extent permitted by FINRA rules and other applicable laws and regulations, and this compensation may be significant in amount.

The Company also pays compensation to wholesaling broker-dealers or other firms or intermediaries, including payments to affiliates of the Company, in return for wholesaling services such as providing marketing and sales support, product training and administrative services to the Selling Agents of the Selling Broker-Dealers. This compensation may be significant in amount and may be based on a percentage of Purchase Payments and/or a percentage of Contract Value and/or may be a fixed dollar amount.

In addition to the compensation described above, the Company may make additional cash payments, in certain circumstances referred to as “override” compensations, or reimbursements to Selling Broker-Dealers in recognition of their marketing and distribution, transaction processing and/or administrative services support. These payments are not offered to all Selling Broker-Dealers, and the terms of any particular agreement governing the payments may vary among Selling Broker-Dealers depending on, among other things, the level and type of marketing and distribution support provided. Marketing and distribution support services may include, among other services, placement of the Company’s products on the Selling Broker-Dealers’ preferred or recommended list, access to the Selling Broker-Dealers’ registered representatives for purposes of promoting sales of the Company’s products, assistance in training and education of the Selling Agents, and opportunities for the Company to participate in sales conferences and educational seminars. The payments or reimbursements may be calculated as a percentage of the particular Selling Broker-Dealer’s actual or expected aggregate sales of our variable contracts (including the Contract) or assets held within those contracts and/or may be a fixed dollar amount. Broker-dealers receiving these additional payments may pass on some or all of the payments to the Selling Agent. The prospect of receiving, or the receipt of additional compensation as described above may provide Selling Broker-Dealers with an incentive to favor sales of the Contracts over other variable annuity contracts (or other investments) with respect to which the Selling Broker-Dealer does not receive additional compensation, or lower levels of additional compensation. You should take such payment arrangements into account when considering and evaluating any recommendation relating to the Contracts.

In addition to selling our variable contracts (including the Contract), some Selling Broker-Dealers or their affiliates may have other business relationships with the Company. Those other business relationships may include, for example, reinsurance agreements pursuant to which an affiliate of the Selling Broker-Dealer provides reinsurance to the Company relative to some or all of the Contracts or other variable policies issued by the Company or its affiliates. The potential profits for a Selling Broker-Dealer or its affiliates (including its registered representatives) associated with such reinsurance arrangements could be significant in amount and could indirectly provide incentives to the Selling Broker-Dealer and its Selling Agents to recommend products for which they provide reinsurance over similar products which do not result in potential reinsurance profits to the Selling Broker-Dealer or its affiliate. The operation of an individual contract is not impacted by whether the policy is subject to a reinsurance arrangement between the Company and an affiliate of the Selling Broker-Dealer.

As discussed in the preceding paragraphs, the Company makes numerous forms of payments and engages in a variety of other activities that, directly or indirectly, provide incentives to, and otherwise facilitate and encourage the offer and sale of the Contracts by Selling Broker-Dealers and their registered representatives. Such payments and other activities may be significantly greater or less in connection with the Contracts than in connection with other products offered and sold by the Company or by others. Accordingly, our payments and other activities described above may create a potential conflict of interest, as they may influence your Selling Broker-Dealer or registered representative to present a Contract to you instead of (or more favorably than) another product or products that might be preferable to you.

You should ask your Selling Agent for further information about what commissions or other compensation he or she, or the Selling Broker-Dealer for which he or she works, may receive in connection with your purchase of a Contract.

Commissions may be waived or reduced in connection with certain transactions described in this Prospectus under the heading “Waivers; Reduced Charges; Credits; Special Guaranteed Interest Rates.” During 2009, 2010, and 2011, approximately $5,512, $9,640, and $3,494, respectively, in commissions were paid to but not retained by Clarendon in connection with the distribution of the Contracts described in this Prospectus.

AVAILABLE INFORMATION

The Company and the Variable Account have filed with the SEC registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933 relating to the Contracts. For further information regarding the Variable Account, the Company and the Contracts, please refer to the registration statements and their exhibits. In addition, the Company is subject to the informational requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We file reports and other information with the SEC to meet these requirements.

You can inspect and copy this information and our registration statements at the SEC’s public reference facilities at the following location: 100 F Street, N.E., Room 1024, Washington, D.C. 20549-0102, telephone (202) 551-8090. The SEC’s public reference room will also provide copies by mail for a fee. You may also find these materials on the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov).

STATE REGULATION

The Company is subject to the laws of the State of Delaware governing life insurance companies and to regulation by the Commissioner of Insurance of Delaware. An annual statement is filed with the Commissioner of Insurance on or before March lst in each year relating to the operations of the Company for the preceding year and its financial condition on December 31st of such year. Its books and records are subject to review or examination by the Commissioner or his agents at any time and a full examination of its operations is conducted at periodic intervals.

The Company is also subject to the insurance laws and regulations of the other states and jurisdictions in which it is licensed to operate. The laws of the various jurisdictions establish supervisory agencies with broad administrative powers with respect to licensing to transact business, overseeing trade practices, licensing agents, approving policy forms, establishing reserve requirements, fixing maximum interest rates on life insurance policy loans and minimum rates for accumulation of surrender values, prescribing the form and content of required financial statements and regulating the type and amounts of investments permitted. Each insurance company is required to file detailed annual reports with supervisory agencies in each of the jurisdictions in which it does business and its operations and accounts are subject to examination by such agencies at regular intervals.

In addition, many states regulate affiliated groups of insurers, such as the Company, Sun Life (Canada) and its affiliates, under insurance holding company legislation. Under such laws, inter-company transfers of assets and dividend payments from insurance subsidiaries may be subject to prior notice or approval, depending on the size of such transfers and payments in relation to the financial positions of the companies involved. Such insurance holding company legislation protects the Company’s ability to pay all guaranteed contract benefits. Under insurance guaranty fund laws in most states, insurers doing business therein can be assessed (up to prescribed limits) for policyholder losses incurred by insolvent companies. The amount of any future assessments of the Company under these laws cannot be reasonably estimated. However, most of these laws do provide that an assessment may be excused or deferred if it would threaten an insurer’s own financial strength and many permit the deduction of all or a portion of any such assessment from any future premium or similar taxes payable. A state’s assessment on insurers in connection with the state guaranty fund would not affect Sun Life’s obligation to pay guaranteed contract benefits. If an assessment were so large as to affect Sun Life’s own ability to meet its obligations, then the provisions to excuse, defer, or offset such assessment would allow Sun Life to pay guaranteed contract benefits.

Although the federal government generally does not directly regulate the business of insurance, federal initiatives often have an impact on the business in a variety of ways. Current and proposed federal measures which may significantly affect the insurance business include employee benefit regulation, removal of barriers preventing banks from engaging in the insurance business, tax law changes affecting the taxation of insurance companies, the tax treatment of insurance products and its impact on the relative desirability of various personal investment vehicles.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Sun Life (U.S.), like other insurance companies, is involved in lawsuits, including class action lawsuits. Although the outcome of any litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, Sun Life (U.S.) believes that, at the present time, there are no pending or threatened lawsuits that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse impact on the Variable Account, on the ability of Clarendon Insurance Agency, Inc. to perform under its principal underwriting agreement, or on our ability to meet our obligations under the Contract.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements of the Company which are included in the SAI should be considered only as bearing on the ability of the Company to meet its obligations with respect to amounts allocated to the Fixed Account and with respect to the death benefit and the Company’s assumption of the mortality and expense risks. They should not be considered as bearing on the investment performance of the Fund shares held in the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account.

The financial statements of the Variable Account for the year ended December 31, 2011 are also included in the SAI.

ACCOUNT YEAR and ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY: Your first Account Year is the period 365 days from the date on which we issued your Contract. Your Account Anniversary is the last day of an Account Year. Each Account Year after the first is the 365-day period that begins on your Account Anniversary. For example, if the Contract Date is on March 12, the first Account Year is determined from the Contract Date and ends on March 12 of the following year. Your Account Anniversary is March 12 and all Account Years after the first are measured from March 12. (If the Anniversary Date falls on a non-business day, the previous business day will be used.)

ACCUMULATION PHASE: The period before the Annuity Commencement Date and during the lifetime of the Annuitant during which you make Purchase Payments under the Contract. This is called the “Accumulation Period” in the Contract.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there are Co-Participants of a Non-Qualified Contract, the surviving Co-Participant will be deemed the beneficiary under the preceding sentence and any other designated beneficiary will be treated as a contingent beneficiary.

BUSINESS DAY: Any day the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading. Also, any day on which we make a determination of the value of a Variable Accumulation Unit.

CERTIFICATE: The document for each Participant which evidences the coverage of the Participant under a Group Contract.

COMPANY (“WE,” “US,” “SUN LIFE (U.S.)”): Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.).

(a)
The free withdrawal amount in any year is equal to the greater of (1) the Contract’s earnings that were not previously withdrawn, and (2) 15% of any Purchase Payments made in the last seven Account Years. In Account Year 1, the free withdrawal amount is $6,000, which equals 15% of the Purchase Payment of $40,000. On a full withdrawal of $41,000, the amount subject to a withdrawal charge is $35,000, which equals the Account Value of $41,000 minus the free withdrawal amount of $6,000.
   
(b)
In Account Year 4, the free withdrawal amount is $12,100, which equals the Contract’s cumulative earnings to date. On a full withdrawal of $52,100, the amount subject to a withdrawal charge is $40,000.
   
(c)
In Account Year 8, the free withdrawal amount is $32,800, which equals the Contract’s cumulative earnings to date. On a full withdrawal of $72,800, the amount subject to a withdrawal charge is $0, since the Purchase Payment amount subject to withdrawal charges equals $0.

Partial Withdrawal Calculation

Assume a single Purchase Payment of $40,000 is made on the Contract Date, no additional Purchase Payments are made, no partial withdrawals have been taken prior to the fourth Account Year, and there are a series of four partial withdrawals made during the fourth Account Year of $4,000, $9,000, $12,000, and $20,000.

(a)
In Account Year 4, the free withdrawal amount is $10,100, which equals the Contract’s cumulative earnings. The partial withdrawal amount of $4,000 is less than the free withdrawal amount, so there is no withdrawal charge.
   
(b)
Since a partial withdrawal of $4,000 was taken, the remaining free withdrawal amount in Account Year 4 is $10,900 - $4,000 = $6,900. Therefore, $6,900 of the $9,000 withdrawal is not subject to a withdrawal charge, and $2,100 is subject to a withdrawal charge. Of the $13,000 withdrawn to date, $10,900 has been from the free withdrawal amount and $2,100 has been from Purchase Payments.
   
(c)
Since $10,900 of the two prior Account Year 4 partial withdrawals was taken from the free withdrawal amount, the remaining free withdrawal amount in Account Year 4 is $11,500 - $10,900 = $600. Therefore, $600 of the $12,000 withdrawal is not subject to a withdrawal charge, and $11,400 is subject to a withdrawal charge. Of the $25,000 withdrawn to date, $11,500 has been from the free withdrawal amount and $13,500 has been from Purchase Payments.
   
(d)
Since $11,500 of the three prior Account Year 4 partial withdrawals was taken from the free withdrawal amount, the remaining free withdrawal amount in Account Year 4 is $11,900 - $11,500 = $400. Therefore, $400 of the $20,000 withdrawal is not subject to a withdrawal charge, and $19,600 is subject to a withdrawal charge. Of the $45,000 withdrawn to date, $11,900 has been from the free withdrawal amount and $33,100 has been from Purchase Payments.

Note that if the $6,900 hypothetical Account Value after withdrawal was withdrawn, it would all be from deposits and subject to a withdrawal charge. The withdrawal charge would be 6% of $6,900, which equals $414. The total Account Year 4 withdrawal charges would then be $2,400, which is the same amount that was assessed for a full liquidation in Account Year 4 in the example on the previous page.

Part 2 - Fixed Account - Example of the Market Value Adjustment (“MVA”)

The MVA Factor is:

(
1 + I
)
N/12
-  1
1 + J + b
 

These examples assume the following:

·
The Guarantee Amount was allocated to a 5-year Guarantee Period with a Guaranteed Interest Rate of 6% or .06.
·
The date of surrender is 2 years from the Expiration Date (N = 24).
·
The value of the Guarantee Amount on the date of surrender is $11,910.16.
·
The interest earned in the current Account Year is $674.16.
·
No transfers or partial withdrawals affecting this Guarantee Amount have been made.
·
Withdrawal charges, if any, are calculated in the same manner as shown in the examples in Part 1.

Example of a Positive MVA:

Assume that on the date of surrender, the current rate (J) is 5% or .05 and the b factor is zero.

The MVA factor =
(
1 + I
)
N/12
-  1
1 + J + b
           
 =
(
1 + .06
)
24/12
-  1
1 + .05
           
=
(
1.010
)
2
-  1
           
=
 
1.019 - 1
     
           
=
 
.019
     

The value of the Guarantee Amount less interested credit to the Guarantee Amount in the current Account Year is multiplied by the MVA factor to determine the MVA:

($11,910.16 - $674.16) x .019 = $213.48

$213.48 represents the MVA that would be added to the value of the Guarantee Amount before the deduction of any withdrawal charge. For a partial withdrawal of $2,000 from this Guarantee Amount, the MVA would be ($2,000.00 - $674.16) x .019 = $25.19. $25.19 represents the MVA that would be added to the value of the partial withdrawal amount before the deduction of any withdrawal charge.


 
 

 

APPENDIX C -
CALCULATION OF BASIC DEATH BENEFIT

Example 1:

Assume a Purchase Payment of $60,000.00 is made on the Contract Date and an additional Purchase Payment of $40,000.00 is made one year later. Assume that all of the money is invested in the Sub-Accounts, that no Withdrawals are made and that the Account Value on the Death Benefit Date is $80,000.00. The calculation of the Death Benefit to be paid is as follows:

The Basic Death Benefit is the greatest of:
 
     Account Value
=     $ 80,000.00
     Cash Surrender Value*
=     $ 76,100.00
     Purchase Payments
=     $100,000.00
The Basic Death Benefit would therefore be:
       $100,000.00

Example 2:

Assume a Purchase Payment of $60,000.00 is made on the Contract Date and an additional Purchase Payment of $40,000.00 is made one year later. Assume that all of the money is invested in the Sub-Accounts and that the Account Value is $80,000.00 just prior to a $20,000.00 withdrawal. The Account Value on the Death Benefit Date is $60,000.00.

The Basic Death Benefit is the greatest of:
 
     Account Value
=     $ 60,000.00
     Cash Surrender Value*
=     $ 56,365.00
     Adjusted Purchase Payments**
=     $ 75,000.00
The Basic Death Benefit would therefore be:
=     $ 75,000.00

*Cash Surrender Value is the amount we would pay you if you surrendered your entire Account Value. For a description of how Cash Surrender Value is calculated, see “Full Withdrawals” under the subheading “Cash Withdrawals.”

**Adjusted Purchase Payments can be calculated as follows: Payments x (Account Value after withdrawal ÷Account Value before withdrawal) = $100,000.00 x ($60,000.00 ÷ $80,000.00).

OPTIONAL DEATH BENEFIT EXAMPLES

CALCULATION OF EEB OPTIONAL DEATH BENEFIT

Example 1:

Assume a Purchase Payment of $60,000 is made on the Contract Date, and an additional Purchase Payment of $40,000 is made one year later. Assume that all of the money is invested into the Sub-Accounts, no withdrawals are made and the Account Value on the Death Benefit Date is $135,000. In addition, this Contract was issued prior to the owner’s 70th birthday. Assume death occurs in Account Year 7. The calculation of the Death Benefit to be paid is as follows:

The Death Benefit Amount will be the greatest of:
   
Account Value
=
$135,000
Cash Surrender Value*
=
$132,000
Total of Adjusted Purchase Payments
=
$100,000
The Death Benefit Amount would therefore
=
$135,000

- plus -

The EEB amount, calculated as follows:
   
Account Value minus Adjusted Purchase Payments
=
$  35,000
40% of the above amount
=
$  14,000
Cap of 40% of Adjusted Purchase Payments
=
$  40,000
The lesser of the above two amounts = the EEB amount
=
$  14,000

The total Death Benefit would be the amount paid on the Basic Death Benefit plus the EEB amount = $135,000 + $14,000 = $149,000.

Example 2:

Assume a Purchase Payment of $60,000 is made on the Contract Date, and an additional Purchase Payment of $40,000 is made one year later. Assume that all of the money is invested into the Sub-Accounts and that the Account Value is $135,000 just prior to a $20,000 withdrawal. The Account Value on the Death Benefit Date is $115,000. Assume death occurs in Account Year 7. In addition, this Contract was issued prior to the owner’s 70th birthday.

The Death Benefit Amount will be the greatest of:
   
Account Value
=
$ 115,000
Cash Surrender Value*
=
$ 112,000
Total of Adjusted Purchase Payments**
=
$  85,185
The Death Benefit Amount would therefore be
 
$ 115,000

- plus -

The EEB amount, calculated as follows:
   
Account Value minus Adjusted Purchase Payments
=
$ 29,815
40% of the above amount
=
$ 11,926
Cap of 40% of Adjusted Purchase Payments
=
$ 34,074
The lesser of the above two amount  = the EEB amount
=
$ 11,926

The total Death Benefit would be the amount paid on the Basic Death Benefit plus the EEB amount = $115,000 + $11,926 = $126,926.

*Cash Surrender Value is the amount we would pay you if you surrendered your entire Account Value. For a description of how Cash Surrender Value is calculated, see “Full Withdrawals” under the subheading “Cash Withdrawals.”

**Adjusted Purchase Payments can be calculated as follows: Payments x (Account Value after withdrawal ÷ Account Value before withdrawal) = $100,000 x ($115,000 ÷ $135,000) = $85,185.


 
 

 

CALCULATION OF EEB AND MAV AND 5% ROLL-UP DEATH BENEFIT

Assume a Purchase Payment of $60,000 is made on the Contract Date, and an additional Purchase Payment of $40,000 is made one year later. Assume that all of the money is invested in Variable Accounts. No withdrawals are made. The Account Value at the Death Benefit Date is $135,000, the value of the Purchase Payments accumulated at 5% until the Death Benefit Date is $140,000, and the Maximum Anniversary Value is $142,000. Assume death occurs in Account Year 7. The calculation of the death benefit to be paid is as follows:

The Death Benefit Amount will be the greatest of:
   
Account Value
=
$135,000
Cash Surrender Value*
=
$132,000
Total of Adjusted Purchase Payments
=
$100,000
5% Premium Roll-up Value
=
$140,000
Maximum Anniversary Value
=
$142,000
The Death Benefit Amount would therefore
=
$142,000

- plus -

The EEB amount, calculated as follows:
   
Account Value minus Adjusted Purchase Payments
=
$ 35,000
40% of the above amount
=
$ 14,000
Cap of 40% of Adjusted Purchase Payments
=
$ 40,000
The lesser of the above two amounts = the EEB amount
=
$ 14,000

The total Death Benefit would be the amount paid on the Maximum Anniversary Rider plus the EEB amount = $142,000 + $14,000 = $156,000.

*Cash Surrender Value is the amount we would pay you if you surrendered your entire Account Value. For a description of how Cash Surrender Value is calculated, see “Full Withdrawals” under the subheading “Cash Withdrawals.”

CALCULATION OF EEB PLUS OPTIONAL DEATH BENEFIT

Assume a Purchase Payment of $60,000 is made on the Contract Date, and an additional Purchase Payment of $40,000 is made one year later. Assume that all of the money is invested into the Sub-Accounts, no withdrawals are made and the Account Value on the Death Benefit Date is $135,000.

$ 35,000
40% of the above amount
=
$ 14,000
Cap of 100% of Adjusted Purchase Payments
=
$100,000
The lesser of the above two amounts = the EEB Plus amount
=
$ 14,000

The total Death Benefit would be the amount paid on the Basic Death Benefit plus the EEB Plus amount = $135,000 + $14,000 = $149,000.

*Cash Surrender Value is the amount we would pay you if you surrendered your entire Account Value. For a description of how Cash Surrender Value is calculated, see “Full Withdrawals” under the subheading “Cash Withdrawals.”


 
 

 

CALCULATION OF EEB PLUS WITH MAV OPTIONAL DEATH BENEFIT

The EEB Plus amount, calculated as follows:
   
Death Benefit Amount before EEB minus Adjusted Purchase Payments
=
$ 40,000
40% of the above amount
=
$ 16,000
Cap of 100% of Adjusted Purchase Payments
=
$100,000
The lesser of the above two amounts = the EEB Plus MAV amount
=
$ 16,000

The total Death Benefit would be the amount paid on the Maximum Anniversary Rider plus the EEB Plus MAV amount = $140,000 + $16,000 = $156,000.

*Cash Surrender Value is the amount we would pay you if you surrendered your entire Account Value. For a description of how Cash Surrender Value is calculated, see “Full Withdrawals” under the subheading “Cash Withdrawals.”

CALCULATION OF EEB PLUS WITH 5% ROLL-UP OPTIONAL DEATH BENEFIT

SUN LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY OF CANADA (U.S.)

Sun Life Financial Inc. (“Sun Life Financial”), a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with common shares listed on the Toronto, New York and Philippine stock exchanges, is the ultimate corporate parent of Sun Life (U.S.). Sun Life Financial ultimately controls Sun Life (U.S.) through the following intervening companies: Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Holdings, Inc., Sun Life Financial (U.S.) Investments LLC, Sun Life Financial (U.S.) Holdings, Inc., Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada - U.S. Operations Holdings, Inc., and Sun Life Global Investments Inc.

ADVERTISING AND SALES LITERATURE

As set forth in the Prospectus, the Company may refer to the following organizations (and others) in its marketing materials:

A.M. Best’s Rating System is designed to evaluate the various factors affecting the overall performance of an insurance company in order to provide an opinion as to an insurance company’s relative financial strength and ability to meet its contractual obligations. The procedure includes both a quantitative and qualitative review of each company.

Lipper Variable Insurance Products Performance Analysis Service is a publisher of statistical data covering the investment company industry in the United States and overseas. Lipper is recognized as the leading source of data on open-end and closed-end funds. Lipper currently tracks the performance of over 5,000 investment companies and publishes numerous specialized reports, including reports on performance and portfolio analysis, fee and expense analysis.

Standard & Poor’s insurance claims-paying ability rating is an opinion of an operating insurance company’s financial capacity to meet obligations of its insurance policies in accordance with their terms.

VARDS (Variable Annuity Research Data Service) provides a comprehensive guide to variable annuity contract features and historical fund performance. The service also provides a readily understandable analysis of the comparative characteristics and market performance of funds inclusive in variable contracts.

Moody’s Investors Services, Inc.’s insurance claims-paying rating is a system of rating an insurance company’s financial strength, market leadership, and ability to meet financial obligations. The purpose of Moody’s ratings is to provide investors with a simple system of gradation by which the relative quality of insurance companies may be noted.

Standard & Poor’s Index - broad-based measurement of changes in stock-market conditions based on the average performance of 500 widely held common stocks; commonly known as the Standard & Poor’s 500 (S&P 500). The selection of stocks, their relative weightings to reflect differences in the number of outstanding shares, and publication of the index itself are services of Standard & Poor’s Corporation, a financial advisory, securities rating, and publishing firm. The index tracks 400 industrial company stocks, 20 transportation stocks, 40 financial company stocks, and 40 public utilities.

NASDAQ-OTC Price Index - this index is based on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations (NASDAQ) and represents all domestic over-the-counter stocks except those traded on exchanges and those having only one market maker, a total of some 3,500 stocks. It is market value-weighted and was introduced with a base of 100.00 on February 5, 1971.

Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) - price-weighted average of 30 actively traded blue chip stocks, primarily industrials, but including American Express Company and American Telephone and Telegraph Company. Prepared and Published by Dow Jones & Company, it is the oldest and most widely quoted of all the market indicators. The average is quoted in points, not dollars.

Morningstar, Inc. is an independent financial publisher offering comprehensive statistical and analytical coverage of open-end and closed-end funds and variable annuities. This coverage for mutual funds includes, among other information, performance analysis rankings, risk rankings (e.g. aggressive, moderate or conservative), and ““style box”“ matrices. Style box matrices display, for equity funds, the investment philosophy and size of the companies in which the fund invests and, for fixed-income funds, interest rate sensitivity and credit quality of the investment instruments.

Ibbotson Associates, Inc. is a consulting firm that provides a variety of historical data, including total return, capital appreciation and income, on the stock market as well as other investment asset classes, and inflation. This information will be used primarily for comparative purposes and to illustrate general financial planning principles.

In its advertisements and other sales literature for the Variable Account and the Funds, the Company intends to illustrate the advantages of the Contracts in a number of ways:

Dollar-Cost Averaging Illustrations. These illustrations will generally discuss the price-leveling effect of making regular investments in the same Sub-Accounts over a period of time, to take advantage of the trends in market prices of the portfolio securities purchased by those Sub-Accounts.


 
 

 

Systematic Withdrawal Program. A service provided by the Company, through which a Participant may take any distribution allowed by Internal Revenue Code Section 401 (a) (9) in the case of Qualified Contracts, or permitted under Internal Revenue Code Section 72 in the case of Non-Qualified Contracts, by way of a series of partial withdrawals. Withdrawals under this program may be fully or partially includible in income and may be subject to a 10% penalty tax. Consult your tax advisor.

The Company’s and the Funds’ Customers. Sales literature for the Variable Account and the Funds may refer to the number of clients which they serve.

The Company’s Assets, Size. The Company may discuss its general financial condition (see, for example, the references to Standard & Poor’s and A.M. Best Company above); it may refer to its assets; and it may discuss its relative size and/or ranking among companies in the industry or among any sub-classification of those companies, based upon recognized evaluation criteria.
 
Compound Interest Illustrations. These will emphasize several advantages of the variable annuity contract. For example, but not by way of limitation, the literature may emphasize the potential savings through tax deferral; the potential advantage of the Variable Account over the Fixed Account; and the compounding effect when a participant makes regular deposits to his or her account.

The Company may use hypothetical illustrations of the benefits of tax deferral, including but not limited to the following chart. The chart below assumes an initial investment of $10,000 which remains fully invested for the entire time period, an 8% annual return, and a 33% combined federal and state income tax rate. It compares how 3 different investments might fare over 10, 20, and 30 years. The first example illustrates an investment in a non-tax-deferred account and assumes that taxes are paid annually out of that account. The second example illustrates how the same investment would grow in a tax-deferred investment, such as an annuity. The third example illustrates the net value of the tax-deferred investment after paying taxes on the full account value.

This illustration is hypothetical and does not represent the projected performance of the Contract or any of its investment options. The illustration does not reflect the deduction of any charges or fees related to portfolio management, mortality and expense, or Account administration. Taxes on earnings within an annuity are due upon withdrawal. Withdrawals may also be subject to surrender charges and, if made prior to age 59½, a 10% federal penalty tax.

TAX-DEFERRED ACCUMULATION

In general, individuals who own annuity contracts are not taxed on increases in the value of their annuity contracts until some form of distribution is made under the contract. As a result, the annuity contract would benefit from tax deferral during the contract’s accumulation phase; this would have the effect of permitting an investment in an annuity contract to grow more rapidly that a comparable investment under which increases in value are taxed on a current basis.

In reports or other communications to you or in advertising or sales materials, we may also describe the effects of tax-deferred compounding on the Variable Account’s investment returns. We may illustrate these effects in charts or graphs and from time to time may include comparisons of returns under the Contract or in general on a tax-deferred basis, with the returns on a taxable basis. Different tax rates may be assumed. Any such illustrative chart or graph would show accumulations on an initial investment or Purchase Payment, assuming a given amount (including the applicable interest credit), hypothetical gross annual returns compounded annually, and a stated rate of return. The values shown for the taxable investment would not include any deduction for management fees or other expenses, but would assume the annual deduction of federal and state taxes from investment returns. The values shown for the Contract in a chart would reflect the deduction of Contract expenses, such as the mortality and expense risk charge, the 0.15% administrative charge, and the $50 annual Account Fee. In addition, the values shown would assume that the Participant has not surrendered his or her Contract or made any partial surrenders until the end of the period shown. The chart would assume a full surrender at the end of the period shown and the payment of federal and state taxes, at a rate of not more than 33%, on the amount in excess of the Purchase Payments.

In developing illustrative tax deferral charts, we will observe these general principles:

 
·
The assumed rate of earnings will be realistic.
 
·
The illustrative chart will accurately depict the effect of all fees and charges or provide a narrative that prominently discloses all fees and charges under the Contract.
 
·
Charts comparing accumulation values for tax-deferred and non-tax-deferred investments will depict the implications of any surrender.
 
·
A narrative accompanying the chart will prominently disclose that there may be a 10% tax penalty on a surrender by a Participant who has not reached age 59½ at the time of surrender.


 
 

 

The rates of return illustrated in any chart would be hypothetical and are not an estimate or guaranty of performance. Actual tax returns may vary among Participants.

CALCULATIONS

Example of Net Investment Factor Calculation
 
We determine the net investment factor using the following formula:
 
Investment Factor
=
(
a + b
c
)
- d
 
where:
 
 
(a)
is the net asset value of a Fund share held in the Sub-Account at the end of that Valuation Period;
 
 
(b)
is the per share amount of any dividend or capital gains distribution made by that Fund during the Valuation Period;
 
 
(c)
is the net asset value per share of the Fund share at the end of the previous Valuation Period;
 
 
(d)
is a factor representing the asset-based insurance charges (the mortality and expense risk charge, the administrative expense charge, and the distribution fee) plus any applicable asset-based charge for an optional benefit for the Valuation Period.
 
Assume the following facts about a particular Variable Account at the end of the current Valuation Period.
 
 
(a)
the net asset value of a fund equals $ 18.38
 
(b)
the per share amount of any dividend or capital gains distributions equal $0
 
(c)
the net asset value per share of the Fund share at the end of the previous Valuation Period equals $18.32
 
(d)
the factor representing the asset-based insurance charges (the mortality and expense risk charge, the administrative expense charge, and the distribution fee) plus any applicable asset-based charge for an optional benefit for the Valuation Period equals 0.00004837.
 
The net investment factor is, therefore, determined as follows:
 
(18.38 + 0.00) – (.00004837)
=
1.00322674
18.32
 
Example of Variable Accumulation Unit Value Calculation
 
We calculate the Variable Accumulation Unit Value for any Valuation Period as follows: we multiply the Variable Accumulation Unit Value for the immediately preceding Valuation Period by the appropriate Net Investment Factor for the subsequent Valuation Period.
 
Assume the Variable Accumulation Unit value for the immediately preceding Valuation Period had been 14.5645672.  Assume that the Net Investment Factor for the subsequent Valuation Period is 1.00323231 as shown in the calculation above.  The value for the current Valuation Period would be, therefore, determined as follows:
 
(14.5645672 x 1.00323231)
=
14.6116444
 
 
ANNUITY PROVISIONS
 
Determination of Annuity Payments
 
On the Annuity Commencement Date the Contract’s Accumulation Account will be canceled and its adjusted value will be applied to provide a Variable Annuity or a Fixed Annuity or a combination of both. The adjusted value will be equal to the value of the Accumulation Account for the Valuation Period which ends immediately preceding the Annuity Commencement Date, reduced by any applicable premium or similar taxes and a proportionate amount of the contract maintenance charge to reflect the time elapsed between the last Contract Anniversary and the day before the Annuity Commencement Date.
 
The dollar amount of the first variable annuity payment will be determined in accordance with the annuity payment rates found in the Contract which are based on an assumed interest rate of 3% per year. All variable annuity payments other than the first are determined by means of Annuity Units credited to the Contract. The number of Annuity Units to be credited in respect of a particular Variable Account is determined by dividing that portion of the first variable annuity payment attributable to that Variable Account by the Annuity Unit value of that Variable Account for the Valuation Period which ends immediately preceding the Annuity Commencement Date. The number of Annuity Units of each particular Variable Account credited to the Contract then remains fixed unless an exchange of Annuity Units is made as described below. The dollar amount of each variable annuity payment after the first may increase, decrease or remain constant, and is equal to the sum of the amounts determined by multiplying the number of Annuity Units of a particular Variable Account credited to the Contract by the Annuity Unit value for the particular Variable Account for the Valuation Period which ends immediately preceding the due date of each subsequent payment.
 
Annuity Unit Value
 
The Annuity Unit value for each Variable Account was established at $10.00 for the first Valuation Period of the particular Variable Account. The Annuity Unit value for any subsequent Valuation Period is determined using the following formula:
 
Annuity Unit Value
=
(A x B) x C
 
where:
 
 
A
equals the Annuity Unit value for the immediately preceding Valuation Period
 
B
equals the Net Investment Factor for the current Valuation Period
 
C
equals a factor to neutralize the assumed interest rate of 3% per year used to establish the annuity payment rates found in the Contract. (This factor is 0.99991902 for a one day Valuation Period.)
 
Example of Variable Annuity Unit Calculation
 
Assume the value of an Annuity Unit for the immediately preceding Valuation Period had been 12.3456789. Assume that the Net Investment Factor for the subsequent Valuation Period is 1.00323648 as shown in the calculation above. If the first variable annuity payment is determined by using an annuity payment based on an assumed interest rate of 3% per year, the value of the Annuity Unit for the current Valuation Period would be determined as follows:
 
(12.3456789 x 1.00323648) x 0.99991902
=
12.3846325
 
 
Example of Variable Annuity Payment Calculation
 
The first Variable Annuity payment is determined by multiplying the Variable Accumulation Unit value for the Valuation Period (as described under “Example of Variable Accumulation Unit Calculation”) by the annuity payment rate for the age and annuity option elected.
 
Assume the following facts:
 
 
·
the Account value being annuitized is made up of a particular Variable Account with 8,765.4321 Variable Accumulation Units;
 
·
at the end of the Valuation Period immediately preceding the Annuity Commencement Date, the Variable Accumulation Unit value and the Annuity Unit value for that Variable Account are 14.5645672 and 12.3456789, respectively;
 
·
the annuity payment rate for the age and option elected is $6.78 per $1,000; and
 
·
on the day prior to the second variable annuity payment date, the Annuity Unit value is 12.3724831.
 
The first Variable Annuity payment would be determined as follows:
 
(8,765.4321 x 14.5645672) x 6.78
=
$865.57
1,000
 
This first Variable Annuity payment of $865.57 represents 70.1112 Variable Annuity Units, which are calculated by dividing the first Variable Annuity Payment by the Variable Annuity Unit value at the end of the Valuation Period immediately preceding the Annuity Commencement Date. In this case, $865.57 divided by 12.3456789.
 
Subsequent Variable Annuity payments are determined by multiplying the number of Variable Annuity Units (calculated for the first Variable Annuity payment) by the Variable Annuity Unit value at the end of the Valuation Period immediately preceding the annuity payment date. Thus, the second Variable Annuity payment would be determined as follows:
 
70.1112 x 12.3846325
=
$868.30

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.)
Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sun Life Financial Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholder’s equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting and reporting for other-than-temporary impairments as required by accounting guidance adopted in 2009.

SUN LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY OF CANADA (U.S.)
(A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Holdings, Inc.)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands)

For the Years Ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

GENERAL

Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) (the “Company”) is a stock life insurance company incorporated under the laws of Delaware.  The Company is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent, which in turn is wholly-owned by Sun Life Financial Inc. (“SLF”), a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Accordingly, the Company is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of SLF.  SLF and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as “Sun Life Financial.”

The Company and its subsidiaries offer a variety of wealth accumulation products, protection products and institutional investment contracts.  These products include individual and group fixed and variable annuities, individual and group variable life insurance, individual universal life insurance, group life, group disability, group dental and group stop loss insurance and funding agreements.  The Company is authorized to transact business in 49 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.  In addition, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York (“SLNY”), is authorized to transact business in the State of New York.

On December 12, 2011, SLF announced the completion of a major strategic review of its businesses.  As a result of this strategic review, SLF announced that it would close its domestic U.S. variable annuity and individual life products to new sales effective December 30, 2011.  The decision to discontinue sales in these lines of business is based on unfavorable product economics which, due to ongoing shifts in capital markets and regulatory requirements, no longer enhance shareholder value.  This decision reflects SLF’s intensified focus on reducing volatility and improving the return on shareholders’ equity by shifting capital to businesses with superior growth, risk and return characteristics.

Existing legal, business and contractual requirements call for the Company to, among other things, continue accepting limited applications for (1) certain private placement variable annuities until mid-2012, and (2) new employees of corporate-owned life insurance (“COLI”) customers.  Subject to these and other existing obligations, the Company has ceased writing all other COLI new business effective January 31, 2012 and all other individual life and annuities new business effective December 30, 2011.

The decision to stop selling variable annuity and individual life products in the U.S. will not impact existing customers and their policies.  The Company will continue to provide quality service to its policyholders, while focusing on the profitability, capital efficiency and risk management of its in-force business.  The Company will continue to earn revenue and to provide policyholder benefits on its in-force business.

Of the one-time restructuring costs on a pre-tax basis associated with the discontinuation of these products lines in the U.S., $12.7 million was allocated to the Company.  The restructuring costs related primarily to employee severance and other employee benefits, which are expected to be paid in the form of future cash expenditures, as well as other costs.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)

On December 30, 2009, Sun Life Vermont, which was a subsidiary of the Company at the time, paid a $100.0 million cash dividend to the Company.  On December 31, 2009, the Company paid a dividend of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Sun Life Vermont to the Parent.  As a result of this transaction, Sun Life Vermont is no longer the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary.  At December 31, 2009, Sun Life Vermont’s total assets and liabilities were $2,658.1 million and $2,563.2 million, respectively.  Sun Life Vermont’s net income for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $105.0 million.  As a result of this dividend transaction, the net income and changes in cash flows from the operating activities of Sun Life Vermont for the year ended December 31, 2009 are presented as discontinued operations in these consolidated financial statements.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  The most significant estimates are those used in determining the fair value of financial instruments, goodwill, deferred policy acquisition costs (“DAC”) including sales inducement asset (“SIA”), value of business acquired (“VOBA”), value of customer renewals acquired (“VOCRA”), liabilities for future contract and policyholder benefits, unearned revenue reserves, accruals, other-than-temporary impairments of investments, allowance for loan loss, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and provision for income taxes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

OUT-OF-PERIOD ADJUSTMENTS

During the year ended December 31, 2011, upon settlement of certain note obligations, the Company recognized $35.4 million of adjustments to contract liabilities that were not previously recorded.  These adjustments should have been recorded during prior years.  Prior periods have not been adjusted as the previously unrecognized amounts were not deemed to be material under Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 99, “Materiality,” and SAB No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in the Current Year Financial Statements.”

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into transactions involving various types of financial instruments, including cash equivalents, short-term investments, fixed maturity securities, mortgage loans, equity securities, derivative financial instruments, debt, loan commitments and financial guarantees.  These instruments involve credit risk and also may be subject to risk of loss due to interest rate fluctuation.  The Company evaluates and monitors each financial instrument individually and, when appropriate, obtains collateral or other security to minimize losses.

CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments are highly liquid securities.  The Company’s cash equivalents primarily include cash, commercial paper and money market investments which have an original term to maturity of less than three months.  Short-term investments include debt instruments with a term to maturity exceeding three months, but less than one year on the date of acquisition.  Cash equivalents and short-term investments are held at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

INVESTMENTS

Fixed Maturity Securities

The Company accounts for its investments in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 320.  At the time of purchase, fixed maturity securities are classified as either trading or available-for-sale.  Securities, for which the Company has elected to measure at fair value under FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” are classified as trading securities.  Although classified as trading securities, the Company’s intent is to not sell these securities in the near term.  Trading securities are carried at aggregate fair value with changes in market value reported as a component of net investment income.  Securities that do not meet the trading criterion are classified as available-for-sale.  Included with fixed maturity securities are forward purchase commitments on mortgage backed securities, better known as To Be Announced (“TBA”) securities.  The Company records TBA purchases on the trade date and the corresponding payable is recorded as an outstanding liability in payable for investments purchased until the settlement date of the transaction.  Available-for-sale securities that are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired are carried at fair value with the unrealized gains or losses reported in other comprehensive income.

The Company determines the fair value of its publicly-traded fixed maturity securities using three primary pricing methods: third-party pricing services, non-binding broker quotes and pricing models.  Prices are first sought from third party pricing services; the remaining unpriced securities are priced using one of the remaining two methods.  Third-party pricing services derive the security prices through recently reported trades for identical or similar securities with adjustments for trading volumes and market observable information through the reporting date.  In the event that there are no recent market trades, pricing services and brokers may use pricing models to develop a security price based on future expected cash flows discounted at an estimated market rate using collateral performance and vintages.  The Company generally does not adjust quotes or prices obtained from brokers or pricing services.

Structured securities, such as asset-backed securities (“ABS”) including collateralized debt obligations, residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”) and commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) are priced using a fair value model or independent broker quotations.  CMBS securities are priced using the last sale price of the day or a broker quote, if no sales were transacted that day.  Typical inputs used by these three pricing methods include, but are not limited to, reported trades, benchmark yields, issuer spreads, bids and/or estimated cash flows and prepayment speeds.  In addition, estimates of expected future prepayments are factors in determining the price of ABS, RMBS and CMBS.  These estimates are based on the underlying collateral and structure of the security, as well as prepayment speeds previously experienced in the market at interest rate levels projected for the underlying collateral.  Actual prepayment experience may vary from these estimates.

For privately-placed fixed maturity securities, fair values are determined using a discounted cash flow model which includes estimates that take into account credit spreads for publicly-traded securities of similar credit risk, maturity, prepayment and liquidity characteristics.  A portion of privately-placed fixed maturity securities also are priced using market prices or broker quotes.  The fair values of mortgages are estimated by discounting future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.

The Company’s ability to liquidate positions in privately-placed fixed securities and mortgages could be impacted to a significant degree by the lack of an actively traded market.  Although the Company believes that its estimates reasonably reflect the fair value of those instruments, its key assumptions about risk-free interest rates, risk premiums, performance of underlying collateral (if any) and other factors may not reflect those of an active market.

Fixed Maturity Securities (continued)

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable, unrelated willing parties using inputs, including estimates and assumptions, a market participant would utilize.  The Company performs a monthly analysis on the prices received from third parties to assess if the prices represent a reasonable estimate of the fair value.  In addition, on the quarterly basis, the Company performs quantitative and qualitative analysis that includes back testing of recent trades, review of key assumptions such as spreads, duration, and credit rating, and on-going review of third-party pricing services’ methodologies.  The Company performs further testing on those securities whose prices do not fall within a pre-established tolerance range.  This testing includes looking at specific market events that may affect pricing or obtaining additional information or new prices from the third-party pricing service.  Additionally, the Company makes a selection of securities from its portfolio and compares the price received from its third-party pricing services to an independent source, creates option adjusted spreads or obtains additional broker quotes to corroborate the current market price.  Historically, the Company has found no material variances between the prices received from third-party pricing sources and the results of its own testing.

Please refer to Note 5 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the Company’s fair value measurements.

As required by FASB ASC Topic 320, the Company recognizes an OTTI loss and records a charge to earnings for the full amount of the impairment based on the difference between the amortized cost and fair value of the security, if the Company intends to sell, or if it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, the impaired security prior to recovery of its cost basis.  Otherwise, losses on securities which are other-than-temporarily impaired are separated into two categories:  credit loss and non-credit loss.  The credit loss portion is charged to the consolidated statements of operations, while the non-credit loss is charged to other comprehensive income.  When an unrealized loss on a fixed maturity is considered temporary, the Company continues to record the unrealized loss in other comprehensive income and not in earnings.

Structured securities, typically those rated single A or below, are subject to certain provisions in FASB ASC Topic 325, “Investments–Other.”  These provisions require the Company to periodically update its best estimate of cash flows over the life of the security.  In the event that fair value is less than the carrying amount and there has been an adverse change in the expected cash flows, then an impairment charge, based on the difference between amortized cost and the present value of the expected cash flows discounted at the current effective rate, is recorded to income.

Please refer to Note 4 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the Company’s recognition and disclosure of OTTI loss.

The Company discontinues the accrual of income on its holdings for issuers that are in default.  The Company’s net investment income would have increased by $2.1 million and $4.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, if these holdings were performing.  As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the fair market value of holdings for issuers in default was $19.6 million and $53.9 million, respectively.

Mortgage Loans and Real Estate

Mortgage loans are stated at unpaid principal balances, net of provisions for estimated losses.  Mortgage loans acquired at a premium or discount are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, net of provisions for estimated losses.  Purchases and sales of mortgage loans are recognized or derecognized in the Company’s balance sheet on the loans’ trade dates, which are the dates that the Company commits to purchase or sell the loan.  Transaction costs on mortgage loans are capitalized on initial recognition and are recognized in the Company’s statement of operations using the effective interest method.  Mortgage loans, which primarily include commercial first mortgages, are diversified by property type and geographic area throughout the United States.  Mortgage loans are collateralized by the related properties and generally are no more than 75% of the property’s value at the time that the original loan is made.  The Company regularly assesses the value of the collateral.

A mortgage loan is considered impaired when it is probable that the principal or interest is not collectible in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. When a mortgage loan is classified as impaired, allowances for credit losses are established to adjust the carrying value of the loan to its net recoverable amount. The allowance for credit losses are estimated using the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent.  A specific allowance for loan loss is established for an impaired loan if the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or the fair value of the collateral less cost to sell, is less than the recorded amount of the loan.  The full extent of impairment in the mortgage portfolio cannot be assessed solely by reviewing these loans individually.  A general allowance for loan loss is established based on an assessment of past loss experience on groups of loans with similar characteristics and current economic conditions.  While management believes that it uses the best information available to establish the loan loss allowances, future adjustments may become necessary if economic conditions differ from the assumptions used in calculating them.

Interest income is recognized on impaired mortgage loans when the collection of contractually specified future cash flows is probable, in which case cash receipts are recorded in accordance with the effective interest rate method.  Interest income is not recognized on impaired mortgage loans and these mortgage loans are placed on non-accrual status when the collection of contractually specified future cash flows is not probable, in which case cash receipts are applied, firstly against the carrying value of the loan, then against the provision, and then to income.  The accrual of interest resumes when the collection of contractually specified future cash flows becomes probable based on certain facts and circumstances.

Changes in allowances for losses and write-off of specific mortgages are recorded as net realized gain or loss in the Company’s statements of operations.  Once the conditions causing impairment improve and future payments are reasonably assured, allowances are reduced and the mortgages are no longer classified as impaired.  However, the mortgage loan continues to be classified as impaired if the original terms of the contract have been restructured, resulting in the Company providing an economic concession to the borrower.

If the conditions causing impairment do not improve and future payments remain unassured, the Company typically derecognizes the asset through disposition or foreclosure.  Uncollectible collateral-dependent loans are written off through allowances for losses at the time of disposition or foreclosure.

Real estate investments are held for the production of income or are held for sale.  Real estate investments held for the production of income are carried at depreciated cost.  Depreciation of buildings and improvements is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset.  Real estate investments held for sale are primarily acquired through foreclosure of mortgage loans for which the carrying amount is established as the fair value less cost to sell at the foreclosure date.  Real estate investments held- for-sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.  Real estate investments are diversified by property type and geographic area throughout the United States.

Derivative instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments including swaps, swaptions, options and futures as a means of hedging exposure to interest rate, currency and equity price risk.  Derivatives are carried at fair value and changes in fair value are recorded as a component of derivative income or loss.

Policy loans and other

Policy loans are carried at the amount of outstanding principal balance.  Policy loans are collateralized by the related insurance policy and do not exceed the net cash surrender value of such policy.

Investments in private equity limited partnerships are accounted for by the equity method of accounting.

Realized gains and losses

Realized gains and losses on the sales of investments are recognized in operations at the date of sale and are determined using the average cost method.  Changes in the provision for estimated losses on mortgage loans and real estate are included in net realized investment gains and losses.

Investment income

Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.  Investments are placed in a non-accrual status when management believes that the borrower's financial position, after giving consideration to economic and business conditions and collection efforts, is such that collection of principal and interest is doubtful.  When an investment is placed in non-accrual status, all interest accrued is reversed against current period interest income.  Interest accruals are resumed on such investments only when the investments have performed on a sustained basis for a reasonable period of time and when, in the judgment of management, the investments are estimated to be fully collectible as to both principal and interest.

The Company manages assets related to certain funds-withheld reinsurance agreements.  These assets are primarily comprised of fixed maturity securities, mortgage loans, policy loans, equity securities, derivative instruments, related accrued income and cash and cash equivalents and are accounted for consistent with the policies described above.  Investment income on assets within funds-withheld reinsurance portfolios is included as a component of net investment income in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Please refer to Note 7 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the Company’s net investment income.


DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS AND SALES INDUCMENT ASSET

Acquisition costs consist of commissions, underwriting and other costs that vary with and are primarily related to the production of new business.  Acquisition costs related to deposit-type contracts, primarily deferred annuity, universal life (“UL”) and guaranteed investment contracts (“GICs”) are deferred and amortized with interest based on the proportion of actual gross profits to the present value of all estimated gross profits to be realized over the estimated lives of the contracts.  Estimated gross profits are composed of net investment income, net realized and unrealized investment gains and losses, life and variable annuity fees, surrender charges, interest credited, policyholder benefits and direct variable administrative expenses.

SIA represents amounts that are credited to policyholder account balances related to the enhanced or bonus crediting rates that the Company offers on certain of its annuity products.  The costs associated with offering the enhanced or bonus crediting rates are capitalized and amortized over the expected life of the related contracts in proportion to the estimated gross profits.

DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS AND SALES INDUCMENT ASSET (CONTINUED)

Estimating future gross profit is a complex process requiring considerable judgment and the forecasting of events into the future based on historical information and actuarial assumptions.  These assumptions are subject to an annual review process and are updated on a more frequent basis if required.  Changes in any of the assumptions that serve to increase or decrease the estimated future gross profits will cause the amortization of DAC to decrease or increase, respectively, in the current period.  Assumptions affecting the computation of estimated future gross profits include, but are not limited to, recent investment and policyholder experience, expectations of future performance and policyholder behavior, changes in interest rates, capital market growth rates, and account maintenance expense.

DAC amortization is reviewed regularly and adjusted retrospectively through the current period operations when the Company calculates the actual profits or losses and revises its estimate of future gross profits to be realized from deposit-type contracts, including realized and unrealized gains and losses from investments.  The Company also tests its DAC asset and SIA for loss recognition on a quarterly basis.  The test is performed by comparing the GAAP liability, net of DAC and SIA, to the present value of future expected gross profits or gross premium reserves.  The Company’s DAC asset and SIA at December 31, 2011 and 2010 failed the loss recognition test for certain annuity products and the Company, therefore, wrote down DAC asset and the SIA by $21.0 million and $126.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Please refer to Note 13 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the Company’s DAC asset and SIA roll-forward.

The DAC asset under GAAP cannot exceed accumulated deferrals, plus interest.  At December 31, 2009, the Company reached the cap for its DAC asset and SIA related to certain fixed and fixed index annuity products and reported the DAC asset for these products at historical accumulated deferrals with interest.  At December 31, 2010, the Company’s SIA related to certain fixed and fixed index annuity remained at historical accumulated deferral with interest.  However, the Company’s DAC related to certain fixed annuities was below the cap and regular amortization was recorded during the year.  At December 31, 2011, the Company’s DAC asset and SIA were below the cap and regular amortization was recorded during the year.

Although recovery of DAC and the SIA is not assured, the Company believes it is more likely than not that all of these costs will be recovered from future profits.  The amount of DAC and SIA considered recoverable could be reduced in the near term, however, if the future estimates of gross profits are reduced.

VALUE OF BUSINESS AND CUSTOMER RENEWALS ACQUIRED

VOBA represents the actuarially determined present value of projected future gross profits from the Keyport Life Insurance Company (“Keyport”) in-force policies on November 1, 2001, the date of the Company’s acquisition of Keyport.  Prior to December 31, 2009, the Company’s VOBA also included the present value of projected future gross profits from the in-force policies that were transferred to SLNY, based on a series of agreements between SLNY and Sun Life and Health Insurance Company (U.S.) (“SLHIC”), an affiliate, (the “SLHIC to SLNY asset transfer”).  VOBA related to Keyport is amortized in proportion to the projected emergence of profits over the estimated life of the purchased block of business; VOBA related to the SLHIC to SLNY asset transfer was amortized in proportion to the projected premium income over the period to the first renewal of the transferred business.  As of December 31, 2009, VOBA related to the SLHIC to SLNY asset transfer was fully amortized.

VOCRA represents a portion of the assets that were transferred to SLNY under the SLHIC to SLNY asset transfer.  VOCRA is the actuarially determined present value of projected future profits arising from the existing in-force business at May 31, 2007 to the next policy renewal date.  This amount is amortized in proportion to the projected premium income over the period from the first renewal date to the end of the projected life of the policies.  The Company tests its VOCRA asset for impairment on an annual basis.  During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company determined that its VOCRA asset was impaired and recorded an impairment charge of $2.6 million.  Please refer to Note 14 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the Company’s combined VOBA and VOCRA roll-forward.

Although recovery of VOBA is not assured, the Company believes it is more likely than not that all of these costs will be recovered from future profits.  The amount of VOBA and VOCRA considered recoverable could be reduced in the near term, however, if the future estimates of gross profits are reduced.

OTHER ASSETS

The Company’s other assets are comprised primarily of receivables from affiliates, outstanding premiums and intangible assets.  Intangible assets consist of state insurance licenses that are not subject to amortization and the value of distribution.  The value of distribution represents the present value of projected future profits arising from sales of new business by brokers with whom SLHIC had an existing distribution relationship contract.  This amount is amortized on a straight-line basis over 25 years, representing the period over which the Company expects to earn premiums from new sales stemming from the added distribution capacity.

Prior to December 31, 2009, the Company’s other asset also included property, equipment, leasehold improvements and capitalized software costs.  As described in Note 3, effective December 31, 2009, the Company transferred certain property, equipment, leasehold improvements and capitalized software costs to Sun Life Financial (U.S.) Services Company, Inc. (“Sun Life Services”), an affiliate.  Depreciation and amortization expenses related to these assets were $1.3 million for year ended December 31, 2009.

POLICY LIABILITIES AND ACCRUALS

Future contract and policy benefit liabilities include amounts reserved for future policy benefits payable upon contingent events, as well as liabilities for unpaid claims due as of the statement date.  Such liabilities are established in amounts adequate to meet the estimated future obligations of in-force policies.

POLICY LIABILITIES AND ACCRUALS (continued)

Policy reserves for annuity contracts include liabilities held for group pension and payout annuity payments and liabilities held for product guarantees on variable annuity products, such as guaranteed minimum death benefits (“GMDB”).  Reserves for pension and payout annuity contracts are calculated using the best-estimate interest and decrement assumptions.  The Company periodically reviews its policies for loss recognition based upon management’s best estimates.  During the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded $49.3 million and $29.2 million, respectively, of adjustments to reserves related to loss recognition.
 
 
Reserves for GMDB and guaranteed minimum income benefits (“GMIB”) are calculated according to the methodology prescribed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA”) which is included in FASB ASC Topic 944 “Financial Services- Insurance,” whereby the expected benefits provided by the guarantees are spread over the duration of the contract in proportion to the benefit assessments.

Policy reserves for UL contracts are held for benefit coverages that are not fully provided for in the policy account value.  These include rider coverages, conversions from group policies, and benefits provided under market conduct settlements.

Policy reserves for group life and health contracts are calculated using standard actuarial methods recognized by the American Academy of Actuaries. For the tabular reserves, discount rates are based on the Company’s earned investment yield and the morbidity and mortality tables used are standard industry tables modified to reflect the Company’s actual experience when appropriate.  In particular, for the Company’s group reported claim reserves and the mortality and morbidity tables for the early durations of claims are based exclusively on the Company’s experience, incorporating factors such as age at disability, sex and elimination period.  These reserves are computed at amounts that, with interest compounded annually at assumed rates, are expected to meet the Company’s future obligations.

Liabilities for unpaid claims consist of the estimated amount payable for claims reported but not yet settled and an estimate of claims incurred but not reported.  The amount reported is based upon historical experience, adjusted for trends and current circumstances.  Management believes that the recorded liability is sufficient to provide for the associated claims adjustment expenses.  Revisions of these estimates are included in operations in the year such refinements are made.

Contractholder deposit funds consist of policy values that accrue to the holders of UL-type contracts and investment-related products such as deferred annuities, single premium whole life (“SPWL”) policies, GICs and funding agreements.  The liabilities consist of deposits received plus interest credited, less accumulated policyholder charges, assessments, partial withdrawals and surrenders.  The liabilities are not reduced by surrender charges.

INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for current and deferred income taxes and recognizes reserves for income tax contingencies in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.”

Under the applicable asset and liability method for recording deferred income taxes, deferred taxes are recognized when assets and liabilities have different values for financial statement and tax reporting purposes, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  Valuation allowances on deferred tax assets are estimated based upon the Company’s assessment of the realizability of such amounts.  Please refer to Note 10 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the Company’s income taxes.

REVENUE AND EXPENSES

Premiums for traditional individual life products are considered earned revenue when due.  Premiums related to group life, group stop loss, group dental and group disability insurance are recognized as earned revenue pro-rata over the contract period.  The unexpired portion of these premiums is recorded as unearned premiums.  Revenue from UL-type products and investment-related products includes charges for the cost of insurance (mortality), initiation and administration of the policy, and surrender charges. Revenue is recognized when the charges are assessed except that any portion of an assessment that relates to services to be provided in future years is deferred and recognized over the period during which the services are provided.

Benefits and expenses related to traditional life, annuity and disability contracts, including group policies, are recognized when incurred in a manner designed to match them with related premium revenue and to spread income recognition over the expected life of the policy.  For UL-type and investment-type contracts, expenses include interest credited to policyholders’ accounts and death benefits in excess of account values, which are recognized as incurred.

Fees from investment advisory services are recognized as revenues when the services are provided.

SEPARATE ACCOUNTS

The Company has established separate accounts applicable to various classes of contracts providing variable benefits.  Contracts for which funds are invested in separate accounts include variable life insurance and individual and group qualified and non-qualified variable annuity contracts.  Investment income and changes in mutual fund asset values are allocated to policyholders and therefore do not affect the operating results of the Company.  Assets held in the separate accounts are carried at fair value and the investment risk of such securities is retained by the contractholder.  The Company earns separate account fees for providing administrative services and bearing the mortality risks related to these contracts.  The activity of the separate accounts is not reflected in the consolidated financial statements except for the following:

 
Ø
The fees that the Company receives, which are assessed periodically and recognized as revenue when assessed; and

 
Ø
The activity related to the GMDB, GMIB, guaranteed minimum accumulation benefit (“GMAB”) and guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit (“GMWB”), which is reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 
Ø
The dividends-received-deduction (“DRD”) which is included in the Company’s income tax (benefit) expense, is calculated based upon the separate account assets held in connection with variable annuity contracts.

In April 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2011-02, “Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring,” which clarifies when a loan modification or restructuring is considered a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”).  In evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a TDR a creditor must use judgment to determine whether the following exist:

 
1.
The borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, and
 
2.
The lender has granted a concession to the borrower.

ASU 2011-02 amends FASB ASC Topic 310 “Receivables,” to include financial difficulty indicators (such as debtor default, debtor bankruptcy or concerns about the future as a going concern) that the lender should consider in determining whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties.  The amendments also clarify that a borrower could be experiencing financial difficulties even though the borrower is not currently in payment default but default is probable in the foreseeable future.

ASU 2011-02 provides guidance on whether the lender has granted a concession to the borrower and notes that:

 
·
A borrower’s inability to access funds at a market rate for a new loan with similar risk characteristics as the modified loan indicates that the modification was executed at a below-market rate and therefore may indicate that a concession was granted.
 
·
A temporary or permanent increase in the contractual interest rate as a result of restructuring does not preclude the restructuring from being considered a concession because the rate may still be below market.
 
·
A restructuring that results in an insignificant delay in contractual cash flow is not considered to be a concession.

The amendments in ASU 2011-02 are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011.  These amendments are to be applied retrospectively to modifications occurring on or after the beginning of the annual period of adoption.  The Company adopted ASU 2011-2 on July 1, 2011 and the TDR disclosure requirements are included in Note 4 of these consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, “Business Combinations (Topic 805):  Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).”  The amendments of ASU 2010-29 provide guidance to clarify the acquisition date that should be used for reporting the pro forma financial information disclosures when comparative financial statements are presented.  ASU 2010-29 requires a public entity that presents comparative financial statements to disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as if the business combination that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period.  The amendments also require the supplemental proforma disclosure to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments that are directly related to the business combination. The Company adopted ASU 2010-29 on January 1, 2011 and will apply this guidance to future business combinations.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28 “Intangibles–Goodwill and Other (Topic 350):  When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).”  The amendments of ASU 2010-28 require reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts to perform Step 2 of goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists and to consider adverse qualitative factors when performing the impairment test.  The Company adopted ASU 2010-28 on January 1, 2011, and the adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20, “Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosure about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses,” which amends FASB ASC Topic 310 to enhance disclosures and to provide financial statement users with greater transparency about an entity’s allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of its financing receivables.  The amendments require an entity to provide a greater level of disaggregated information about the credit quality of the entity’s financing receivables and allowance for credit losses.  ASU 2010-20 also requires an entity to disclose credit quality indicators, the aging of past due information and the modification of its financing receivables.  The amendments in ASU 2010-20 that relate to disclosures as of the end of a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010.  However, the disclosure about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Comparative disclosures are required for reporting periods ending after initial adoption.  The Company adopted ASU 2010-20 on December 31, 2010.  The enhanced disclosures required by ASU 2010-20 are included in Note 4 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-18, “Receivables (Topic 310):  Effect of a Loan Modification When the Loan Is Part of a Pool That Is Accounted for as a Single Asset–a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force,” which amends FASB ASC Topic 310.  The amendments were made to eliminate diversity in practice in accounting for loans that undergo troubled debt restructuring for those loans that have been included in a pool of loans.  Under ASU 2010-18, debt modifications that were made for distressed loans included in a pool of loans do not trigger the criteria needed to allow for such loans to be accounted for separately outside of the pool.  Upon initial adoption, an entity may make a one-time election to terminate accounting for loans as a pool.  The election may be made on a pool-by-pool basis and does not prevent the entity from using pool accounting for loans that will be acquired in the future.  The amendments in ASU 2010-18 are effective for the first fiscal quarter ending on or after July 15, 2010.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company adopted ASU 2010-18 on September 30, 2010 and such adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-15, “Financial Services–Insurance (Topic 944):  How Investments Held through Separate Accounts Affect an Insurer’s Consolidation Analysis of Those Investments–a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force,” to provide guidance regarding accounting for investment funds determined to be VIEs.  Under this guidance, an insurance entity would not be required to consolidate a voting-interest investment fund when it holds the majority of the voting interests of the fund through its separate accounts.  In addition, an insurance entity would not consider the interests held through separate accounts for the benefit of policyholders in the insurer’s evaluation of its controlling interest in a VIE, unless the separate account contract holder is a related party.  The guidance is effective, on a retrospective basis, for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2010.  The Company adopted ASU 2010-15 on January 1, 2011 and the adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-11, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815):  Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives,” which provides amendments to FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” to clarify the embedded credit derivative scope exception included therein.  The amendments address how to determine which embedded credit derivative features are considered to be embedded derivatives that should not be analyzed for potential bifurcation and separate accounting under ASC Topic 815.  Under ASU 2010-11, only the embedded credit derivative feature created by subordination between financial instruments is not subject to the bifurcation requirements of ASC Topic 815.  However, other embedded credit derivative features would be subject to analysis for potential bifurcation even if their effects are allocated to interests in tranches of securitized financial instruments in accordance with those subordination provisions.  The following circumstances would not qualify for the scope exception and are subject to the application of ASC Topic 815 requiring the embedded derivatives to be analyzed for potential bifurcation:

 
Ø
An embedded derivative feature relating to another type of risk (including another type of credit risk) is present in the securitized financial instrument.
 
Ø
The holder of an interest in a tranche of securitized financial instruments is exposed to the possibility of being required to make potential future payments because the possibility of those future payments is not created by subordination.
 
Ø
The holder owns an interest in a single-tranche securitization vehicle; therefore, the subordination of one tranche to another is not relevant.

The amendments in ASU 2010-11 are effective for the first fiscal quarter beginning after June 15, 2010.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company adopted ASU 2010-11 on July 1, 2010 and such adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, “Subsequent Events (Topic 855):  Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements” which removes the requirement for U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filers to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated.  ASU No. 2010-09 is effective upon issuance.  Events that have occurred subsequent to December 31, 2011 have been evaluated by the Company’s management in accordance with ASU 2010-09.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (Topic 820):  Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,” which provides amendments to FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” to provide more robust disclosures about the following:

 
Ø
The different classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value;
 
Ø
The valuation techniques and inputs used;
 
Ø
The transfers between Levels 1, 2, and 3; and
 
Ø
The activity in Level 3 fair value measurements.

Certain new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2009.  Disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll-forward of activities in Level 3 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.  The Company adopted ASU 2010-06 on January 1, 2010.  The enhanced disclosures required by ASU 2010-06 for the periods beginning after December 31, 2009 are included in Note 5 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

New and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

On January 1, 2010, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 860, “Transfers and Servicing,” which were issued in June 2009.  These provisions amend and expand disclosures about the relevance, representational faithfulness and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets.  FASB ASC Topic 860 amends previously issued derecognition accounting and disclosure guidance and eliminates the exemption from consolidation for qualifying special purpose entities (“QSPEs”); it also requires a transferor to evaluate all existing QSPEs to determine whether they must be consolidated in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 860.  This guidance is effective for financial asset transfers occurring in fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2009.  The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On January 1, 2010, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation,” which were issued in June 2009.  This guidance amends previously issued consolidation guidance which affects all entities currently within the scope of FASB ASC Topic 810, including QSPEs, as the concept of these entities was eliminated by FASB ASC Topic 860.  This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2009.  The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 320, which were issued in April 2009.  This guidance amends the guidance for OTTI of debt securities and changes the presentation of OTTI in the financial statements.   If the Company intends to sell, or if it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, an impaired security prior to recovery of its cost basis, the security is to be considered other-than-temporarily impaired and the full amount of impairment must be charged to earnings.  Otherwise, losses on securities which are other-than-temporarily impaired are separated into two categories, the portion of loss which is considered credit loss (“credit loss”) and the portion of loss which is due to other factors (“non-credit loss”).  The credit loss portion is charged to earnings, while the non-credit loss is charged to other comprehensive income.  When an unrealized loss on a fixed maturity is considered temporary, the Company continues to record the unrealized loss in other comprehensive income and not in earnings.  This guidance also expands and increases the frequency of existing disclosures about OTTI of debt and equity securities.  The Company adopted the above-noted aspects of FASB ASC Topic 320 on April 1, 2009.  Upon adoption, a cumulative effect adjustment, net of taxes, of $9.1 million was recorded to decrease accumulated other comprehensive income with a corresponding increase to retained earnings (accumulated deficit) for the non-credit component of previously impaired securities that the Company neither intends to sell, nor is it more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell, before recovery of amortized cost.  The enhanced disclosures required by FASB ASC Topic 320 are included in Note 4 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220):  Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05,” which allows for the deferral of certain presentation requirements about reclassifications of items out of accumulated other income originally included in ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220):  Presentation of Comprehensive Income.”  The amendments are being made to allow FASB time to reconsider it requirements of entities to present on the face of their financial statements the effects of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the components of net income and other comprehensive income for all periods presented.  The amendments are effective at the same time as the amendments in ASU 2011-05 so that entities will not be required to comply with the presentation requirements in ASU 2011-05 that ASU 2011-12 is deferring.  All other requirements in ASU 2011-05 are not affected by ASU 2011-12, including the requirement to report comprehensive income either in a single continuous financial statement or in two separate but consecutive financial statements.  The amendments in ASU 2011-12 are effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company will adopt ASU 2011-12 on March 31, 2012 and does not expect its requirements to significantly impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210):  Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities,” which requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting assets and liabilities and related arrangements included in its financial statements.  Offsetting (netting) assets and liabilities is an important aspect of presentation in financial statements.  The differences in the offsetting requirements in GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) account for a significant difference in the amounts presented in statements of financial position prepared in accordance with GAAP and in the amounts presented in those statements prepared in accordance with IFRS for certain institutions.  This difference reduces the comparability of statements of financial position.  As a result, users of financial statements requested that the differences should be addressed expeditiously.  In response to those requests, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board are issuing joint requirements that will enhance current disclosures.  Entities are required to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement.  This scope would include derivatives, sale and repurchase agreements and reverse sale and repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending arrangements.  The objective of this disclosure is to facilitate comparison between those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of GAAP and those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of IFRS.  The amendments in ASU 2011-11 are effective, on a retrospective basis, for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2012.  The Company will adopt ASU 2011-11 on March 31, 2013 and is accessing the impact of this adoption.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220):  Presentation of Comprehensive Income,” which revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. The amendments in ASU 2011-05 require entities to present components of comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  Under the two-statement approach, the first statement (i.e., the statement of net income) must present total net income and its components followed consecutively by the statement of comprehensive income which should include total other comprehensive income and its components.  Under either method, entities must display adjustments for items that are classified from other comprehensive income to net income in both statements of net income and comprehensive income.  ASU 2011-05 does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income.  The amendments in ASU 2011-05 are effective, on a retrospective basis, for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  The Company will adopt ASU 2011-05 on March 31, 2012 and does not expect its requirements to significantly impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820):  Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in GAAP and IFRSs,” which changes the wording used to describe many of the requirements in GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements.  Some of the amendments clarify the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, while other amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements.  Many of the requirements in this update are not meant to result in a change in application of the requirements of FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” but to improve upon an entity’s consistency in application across jurisdictions to ensure that GAAP and IFRS fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are described in the same way.  The amendments in ASU 2011-04 are effective, on a retrospective basis, for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  The Company will adopt ASU 2011-04 on January 1, 2012 and does not expect its requirements to significantly impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-26, “Financial Services–Insurance (Topic 944):  Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force),” which amends FASB ASC Topic 944, “Financial Services–Insurance,” to modify the definition of the types of costs incurred by insurance entities that can be capitalized in the acquisition of new and renewal contracts.  The amendments specify that only incremental costs of successful contract acquisition that result directly from and are essential to the contract transactions can be capitalized as deferred acquisition costs.  The incremental direct costs are those costs that would not have been incurred by the insurance entity if the contract transactions did not occur.  The amendments in ASU 2010-26 are effective for interim periods and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  The Company will adopt ASU 2010-20 on January 1, 2012 and does not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-20 to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

2. MERGERS, ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

On December 31, 2009, the Company paid a dividend of all of Sun Life Vermont’s issued and outstanding common stock, and net assets totaling $94.9 million to the Parent.  As a result of this transaction, Sun Life Vermont is no longer the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary.  The following table represents a summary of the results of operations for Sun Life Vermont which are included in discontinued operations:

The Company transferred all of Sun Life Vermont’s assets and liabilities at their carrying value to the Parent and therefore no gain or loss resulted from this dividend.  Sun Life Vermont was previously reported as component of the Individual Protection segment.

3. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

The Company has significant transactions with affiliates.  Management believes inter-company revenues and expenses are calculated on a reasonable basis.  However, these amounts may not necessarily be indicative of the costs that would be incurred if the Company operated on a stand-alone basis and these transactions were with unrelated parties.  Below is a summary of transactions with           non-consolidated affiliates.

Reinsurance Related Transactions

As more fully described in Note 8 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the Company and its subsidiary, SLNY, are party to several reinsurance transactions with Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (“SLOC”) and other affiliates.  Reinsurance premiums with related parties are based on market rates.

On February 11, 2009, the Company received regulatory approval and entered into a reinsurance agreement with Sun Life Reinsurance (Barbados) No. 3 Corp (“BarbCo 3”) an affiliate, to cede all of the risks associated with certain in-force corporate and bank-owned variable universal life, and private placement variable universal life policies on a combination coinsurance, coinsurance with funds-withheld, and a modified coinsurance basis.  The reinsurance agreement covered in-force policies on the effective date and new sales through December 31, 2009.  Effective January 1, 2010, the Company and BarbCo 3 amended the reinsurance agreement.  Refer to Note 8 for additional information regarding the amendment and the impact of this agreement on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Capital Transactions

The Company did not receive any capital contribution from the Parent during the year ended December 31, 2011.  During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company received capital contributions totaling $400.0 million from the Parent.  The cash contributions were recorded as additional paid-in capital and were made to ensure that the Company continues to exceed certain regulatory capital requirements established by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”).  The NAIC has established standards for minimum capitalization requirements based on risk-based capital formulas for life insurance companies.  The risk-based capital formulas for life insurance companies establish capital requirements relating to insurance, business, asset and interest rate risks, including equity, interest rate and expense recovery risks associated with variable annuities that contain death benefits or certain living benefits.

Effective December 31, 2009, the Company distributed all of Sun Life Vermont’s issued and outstanding common stock and net assets totaling $94.9 million in the form of a dividend to the Parent.  The Company paid a return of capital of $300.0 million to the Parent during the year ended December 31, 2011.  The Company did not declare or pay any cash dividends or return of capital to the Parent during the year ended December 31, 2010 or 2009.

3. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES (CONTINUED)

Debt Transactions

On November 8, 2007, a long-term financing arrangement was established with a financial institution (the “Lender”) that enables Sun Life Vermont, a subsidiary of the Company prior to December 31, 2009, to fund a portion of its obligations under its reinsurance agreement with SLOC.  Under this arrangement, at inception of the agreement, Sun Life Vermont issued an initial floating rate surplus note of $1 billion (the “Surplus Note”) to a special-purpose entity, Structured Asset Repackage Company, 2007- SUNAXXX LLC (“SUNAXXX”), affiliated with the Lender.  Pursuant to this arrangement, Sun Life Vermont exercised its option to issue additional Surplus Notes of $200.0 million and $115.0 million in 2009 and 2008, respectively, to SUNAXXX.  At December 31, 2009, the value of the Surplus Note was $1.3 billion.  Pursuant to an agreement between the Lender and the Company’s indirect parent, Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada – U.S. Operations Holdings, Inc. (“SLC - U.S. Ops Holdings”), U.S. Ops Holdings bears the ultimate obligation to repay the Lender and, as such, consolidates SUNAXXX in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 810.  Sun Life Vermont agreed to reimburse U.S. Ops Holdings for certain costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the Surplus Note.  Sun Life Vermont incurred interest expense of $21.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, which is included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations as a component of income from discontinued operations, net of tax.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had an $18.0 million promissory note that was initially issued to Sun Life (Hungary) Group Financing Limited Company (“Sun Life (Hungary) LLC”), an affiliate, for which the Company pays interest semi-annually.  On June 2, 2011, Sun Life (Hungary) LLC sold the $18.0 of promissory note to SLOC.  With the exception of the change in lenders, this transaction did not have any impact on the terms of the promissory note.  Effective June 2, 2011, the Company began paying the related interest to SLOC.  Related to this note, the Company incurred interest expense of $1.0 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had $565.0 million of surplus notes payable to Sun Life Financial (U.S.) Finance, Inc., an affiliate.  The Company expensed $42.6 million for interest on these surplus notes for each of the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009.

Institutional Investments Contracts

On September 12, 2006, the Company issued two floating rate funding agreements totaling $900.0 million to Sun Life Financial Global Funding III, L.L.C. (“LLC III”), an affiliate, which will mature on October 6, 2013.  On April 7, 2008, the Company issued an additional floating rate funding agreement totaling $5.8 million to LLC III.  On December 1, 2011, the Company paid $5.8 million to LLC III due to the maturity of the funding agreement issued to LLC III.  Total interest credited for these funding agreements was $5.9 million, $6.2 million, and $11.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The Company also issued a $100.0 million floating rate demand note payable to LLC III on September 19, 2006.  The Company expensed $0.7 million, $0.7 million, and $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, for interest on this demand note.

The Company has an interest rate swap agreement with LLC III with an aggregate notional amount of $900.0 million that effectively converts the floating rate payment obligations under the funding agreements to fixed rate obligations.

On May 17, 2006, the Company issued a floating rate funding agreement of $900.0 million to Sun Life Financial Global Funding II, L.L.C.

For the Years Ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009

3. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES (CONTINUED)

Administrative Service Agreements, Rent and Other

Effective December 31, 2009, the Company transferred all of its employees to Sun Life Services with the exception of 28 employees who were transferred to Sun Life Financial Distributors, Inc. (“SLFD”), another affiliate.  The tax benefit associated with SLF stock options that had been granted to employees of the Company prior to the employee transfer, is recognized by the Company in stockholder’s equity when these options vest.   Neither Sun Life Services nor SLFD are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  Concurrent with this transaction, Sun Life Services assumed the sponsorship of the Company’s retirement plans, as discussed in Note 9 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  As a result of this transaction, the Company transferred to Sun Life Services the plan assets and liabilities, the associated deferred tax asset, and certain property, equipment and software, as summarized in the following table:

Assets:
 
 
Cash

Other liabilities

Total liabilities
$
175,168 

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 845, “Nonmonetary Transactions,” all assets and liabilities were transferred at book value and no gain or loss was recognized in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.  The difference between the book value of the transferred assets and liabilities of $48.9 million, net of tax, was recorded by the Company as other comprehensive income and paid-in-capital.  Prior to the transfer, this difference between the book value of the transferred assets and liabilities was recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

Pursuant to an administrative services agreement between the Company and Sun Life Services which was effective December 31, 2009, Sun Life Services provides human resources services (e.g., recruiting and maintaining appropriately trained and qualified personnel and equipment necessary for the performance of actuarial, financial, legal, administrative and other operational support functions) to the Company.  The Company reimburses Sun Life Services for the cost of such services, plus, with respect to certain of those services, pays an arms-length based profit margin to be agreed upon by the parties.  Total payments under this agreement were $110.0 million and $117.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

As discussed in Note 1, SLF made the decision to close its domestic U.S. variable annuity and individual life products to new sales after completing a major strategic review of its businesses.  As a result of this decision and the related severance of certain Sun Life Services’ employees, Sun Life Services allocated $12.2 million in expenses to the Company, which is a portion of the related restructuring costs on a pre-tax basis.  The costs allocated to the Company represent primarily employee severance and other employee benefits of $10.2 million, as well as other costs of $2.0 million.

As described in Note 9, the Company participates in a pension plan and other retirement plans sponsored by Sun Life Services.

The transfer of fixed assets from the Company to Sun Life Services discussed above, along with the administrative services agreement, resulted in a sale-leaseback transaction.  The Company recorded a deposit liability for $17.1 million which represents the cost of certain of the assets transferred.  The Company will amortize the liability over the remaining useful life of the transferred assets, which was estimated to be seven years.  As of December 31, 2011, the remaining deposit liability was $11.4 million.

For the Years Ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009

OTHER-THAN-TEMPORARY IMPAIRMENT

Beginning on April 1, 2009, the Company presents and discloses OTTI in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 320.  Securities whose fair value is less than their carrying amount are considered to be impaired and are evaluated for potential OTTI.  If the Company intends to sell, or if it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell an impaired security prior to recovery of its cost basis, the security is considered other-than-temporarily impaired and the Company records a charge to earnings for the full amount of impairment based on the difference between the amortized cost and fair value of the security.  Otherwise, losses on securities which are other-than-temporarily impaired are separated into two categories:  credit loss and non-credit loss.  The credit loss portion is charged to net realized investment gains (losses) in the consolidated statements of operations, while the non-credit loss is charged to other comprehensive income.  When an unrealized loss on an available-for-sale fixed maturity is considered temporary, the Company continues to record the unrealized loss in other comprehensive income and not in earnings.

To compute the credit loss component of OTTI for corporate bonds on the date of transition (i.e., April 1, 2009), both historical default (by rating) data, used as a proxy for the probability of default, and loss given default (by issuer) projections were applied to the par amount of the bond.  For corporate bonds post-transition, the present value of future cash flows using the book yield is used to determine the credit component of OTTI.  If the present value of the cash flow is less than the security’s amortized cost, the difference is recorded as a credit loss.  The difference between the estimates of the credit related loss and the overall OTTI is the non-credit-related component.

As a result of the adoption of FASB ASC Topic 320, a cumulative effect adjustment, net of tax, of $9.1 million was recorded to decrease accumulated other comprehensive income with a corresponding increase to retained earnings (accumulated deficit) for the non-credit loss component of previously impaired securities that the Company neither intends to sell, nor is it more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell, before recovery of amortized cost.

For those securities where the Company does not have the intent to sell and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell, the Company employs a portfolio monitoring process to identify securities that are other-than-temporarily impaired.  The Company utilizes a Credit Committee, comprised of investment and finance professionals, which meets at least quarterly to review individual issues or issuers that are of concern.  In determining whether a security is other-than-temporarily-impaired, the Credit Committee considers the factors described below.  The process involves a quarterly screening of all impaired securities.

Discrete credit events, such as a ratings downgrade, also are used to identify securities that may be other-than-temporarily impaired.  The securities identified are then evaluated based on issuer-specific facts and circumstances, such as the issuer’s ability to meet current and future interest and principal payments, an evaluation of the issuer’s financial position and its near-term recovery prospects, difficulties being experienced by an issuer’s parent or affiliate, and management’s assessment of the outlook for the issuer’s sector.  In making these evaluations, the Credit Committee exercises considerable judgment.  Based on this evaluation, issues or issuers are considered for inclusion on one of the Company’s following credit lists:

“Monitor List”- Management has concluded that the Company’s amortized cost will be recovered through timely collection of all contractually specified cash flows, but that changes in issuer-specific facts and circumstances require monitoring on a quarterly basis.  No OTTI charge is recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for unrealized loss on securities related to these issuers.

“Watch List”- Management has concluded that the Company’s amortized cost will be recovered through timely collection of all contractually specified cash flows, but that changes in issuer-specific facts and circumstances require continued monitoring during the quarter.  A security is moved from the Monitor List to the Watch List when changes in issuer-specific facts and circumstances increase the possibility that a security may become impaired within the next 24 months.  No OTTI charge is recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for unrealized losses on securities related to these issuers.

OTHER-THAN-TEMPORARY IMPAIRMENT (CONTINUED)

“Impaired List”- This list includes securities that the Company has the intent to sell or more likely than not will be required to sell.  In addition, it includes those securities that management has concluded that the Company’s amortized cost will not be recovered due to expected delays or shortfalls in contractually specified cash flows.  For these investments, an OTTI charge is recorded or the security is sold and a realized loss is recorded as a charge to income.  Credit OTTI losses are recorded in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and non-credit OTTI losses are recorded in other comprehensive income.

Structured securities, those rated single A or below in particular, are subject to certain provisions in FASB ASC Topic 325, “Investments–Other.”  These provisions require the Company to periodically update its best estimate of cash flows over the life of the security.  In the event that the fair value is less than the carrying amount and there has been an adverse change in the expected cash flows (as measured by comparing the original expected cash flows to the current expectation of cash flows, both discounted at the current effective rate), then an impairment charge is recorded to income.  Estimating future cash flows is a quantitative and qualitative process that incorporates information received from third parties, along with assumptions and judgments about the future performance of the underlying collateral.  Losses incurred on the respective portfolios are based on expected loss models, not incurred loss models.  Expected cash flows include assumptions about key systematic risks and loan-specific information.

There are inherent risks and uncertainties in management’s evaluation of securities for OTTI.  These risks and uncertainties include factors both external and internal to the Company, such as general economic conditions, an issuer’s financial condition or near-term recovery prospects, market interest rates, unforeseen events which affect one or more issuers or industry sectors, and portfolio management parameters, including asset mix, interest rate risk, portfolio diversification, duration matching and greater than expected liquidity needs.  All of these factors could impact management’s evaluation of securities for OTTI.

For securities that are assessed to have incurred a credit loss, the amount of credit loss is calculated based upon the cash flows that the Company expects to collect given an assessment of the relevant facts and circumstances for the issuer and specific bond issue.  Such factors include the financial condition, credit quality, and the near-term prospects of the issuer, as well as the issuer's relative liquidity, among other factors.

OTHER-THAN-TEMPORARY IMPAIRMENT (CONTINUED)

The Company recorded credit OTTI losses in its consolidated statement of operations totaling $0.1 million and $0.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively on its available-for-sale fixed maturity securities.  The $0.1 million OTTI credit loss recorded during the year ended December 31, 2011 was concentrated in structured securities issued by sponsored securitization vehicles.  This impairment was driven primarily by the adverse financial condition of the issuer.  The $0.9 million OTTI credit loss recorded during the year ended December 31, 2010 was concentrated in corporate debt of a foreign issuer.  This impairment was driven primarily by the adverse financial conditions of the issuer.

Variable Interest Entities

The Company is involved with various special purpose entities and other entities that are deemed to be VIEs primarily as a collateral manager and as an investor through normal investment activities or as a means of accessing capital.  A VIE is an entity that either has investors that lack certain essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest or lacks sufficient funds to finance its own activities without financial support provided by other entities.

The Company performs ongoing qualitative assessments of its VIEs under FASB ASC Topic 810, to determine whether it has a controlling financial interest in the VIE and, therefore, is the primary beneficiary. The Company is deemed to have a controlling financial interest when it has both the ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.  The Company consolidates the VIE in its consolidated financial statements if it determines that it is the VIEs primary beneficiary.

Consolidated VIEs

At December 31, 2011, the Company had an interest in one significant VIE, Credit and Repackaged Securities Limited Series 2006-10 Trust (the CARS Trust”), for which consolidation is required under FASB ASC Topic 810.

The Company has an agreement with the CARS Trust.  Pursuant to this agreement, the Company purchased a funded note from the CARS Trust which, through a credit default swap entered into by the CARS Trust, is exposed to the credit performance of a portfolio of corporate reference entities.  The Company entered into this agreement for yield enhancement related to the fee earned on the credit default swap which adds to the return earned on the funded note.

The CARS Trust is a structured investment vehicle for which the Company provides investment management services and holds securities issued by the trust.  Creditors have no recourse against the Company in the event of default by the CARS Trust, nor does the Company have any implied or unfunded commitments to the CARS Trust.  The Company's financial or other support provided to the CARS Trust is limited to its investment management services and original investment.  The following table presents the carrying value of assets and liabilities and the maximum exposure to loss relating to the CARS Trust.

Consolidated VIEs (continued)

As the sole beneficiary of the CARS Trust, while having a controlling financial interest in the investment vehicle, the Company is required to consolidate the entity under FASB ASC Topic 810.  As a result of the consolidation, the Company has recorded in its consolidated balance sheets, investment grade corporate debt securities and a credit default swap held by the CARS Trust.  At issue, the swap had a seven-year term, maturing in 2013.  Under the terms of the swap, the CARS Trust will be required to make payments to the swap counterparty upon the occurrence of a credit event, with respect to any reference entity, that is in excess of the threshold amount specified in the swap agreement.  In the event that the CARS Trust is required to make any payments under the swap, the underlying assets held by the trust would be liquidated to fund the payment.  If the disposition of these assets is insufficient to fund the payment calculated, then under the terms of the agreement, the cash settlement amount would be capped at the amount of the proceeds from the sale of the underlying assets.  Under the credit default swap, the CARS Trust made a payment of $16.5 million during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2011; no payment was made during the year ended December 31, 2010.  As of December 31, 2011, the cumulative payments that the CARS Trust has made under the credit default swap is $34.1 million, leaving $20.9 million as the maximum future payments that it could be required to make.  The carrying amount of the assets in this VIE is included in trading fixed maturity securities and the carrying amount of the liabilities in this VIE is included in the derivative instruments-payable in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Non-Consolidated VIEs

At December 31, 2011, other than the CARS Trust, the Company had no interest in VIEs for which consolidation is required under FASB ASC Topic 810.

In addition, through normal investment activities, the Company makes passive investments in various issues by VIEs.  These investments are included in trading and available-for-sale fixed maturity securities, limited partnerships and other invested assets in the Company's consolidated financial statements.  The Company has not provided financial or other support with respect to these investments other than its original investments.  For these investments, the Company has determined it is not the primary beneficiary due to the size of its investment relative to other issues, the level of credit subordination which reduces its obligation to absorb losses or its right to receive benefits, and/or its inability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIEs.  The Company's maximum exposure to loss on these investments is limited to the amount of its investment.

MORTGAGE LOANS AND REAL ESTATE (CONTINUED)

A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that the principal or interest is not collectible in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan.  The allowance for credit losses is estimated using the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent.  A specific allowance for loan loss is established for an impaired loan if the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or the fair value of the loan collateral, less cost to sell, is less than the recorded amount of the loan.  A general allowance for loan loss is established based on an assessment of past loss experience on groups of loans with similar characteristics and current economic conditions.  While management believes that it uses the best information available to establish the allowances, future adjustments may become necessary if economic conditions differ from the assumptions used in calculating them.

Delinquency status is determined based upon the occurrence of a missed contract payment.  The following table set forth an age analysis of past due loans in the Company’s mortgage loan portfolio at December 31.

The Company individually evaluates all its mortgage loans for impairment and records a specific provision for those deemed impaired.  The Company also collectively evaluates most of its mortgage loans (excluding those for which a specific allowance was recorded) for impairment.  At December 31, 2011, the Company individually and collectively evaluated loans with a gross carrying value of $1,513.8 million and $1,396.1 million, respectively.  At December 31, 2010, the Company individually and collectively evaluated loans with a gross carrying value of $1,791.3 million and $1,706.0 million, respectively.

The credit quality indicator for the Company’s mortgage loans is an internal risk rated measure based on the borrowers’ ability to pay and the value of the underlying collateral.  The internal risk rating is related to an increasing likelihood of loss, with a low quality rating representing the category in which a loss is first expected.  The following table shows the gross carrying value of the Company’s mortgage loans disaggregated by credit quality indicator at December 31:

Troubled Debt Restructurings

The Company may modify the terms of a loan by adjusting the interest rate, extending the maturity date or both.  The Company evaluates each restructuring of debt and considers it a TDR if, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor's financial difficulties, it grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider.  Specifically, the Company's evaluation of each restructuring includes an assessment of the indicators of impairment to determine if the debtor is exhibiting financial difficulties and an assessment of market lending activity to determine if the debtor can obtain funds from other sources at market interest rates at or near those for nontroubled debts.  Those restructurings where financial difficulties are present and alternative sources of funding are not available or prohibitively expensive to the borrower are considered TDR.

Upon adoption of the amendments in ASU 2011-02, the Company reassessed all restructured loans that occurred on or after January 1, 2011, the beginning of its fiscal year, for identification as TDRs.  Adoption of the ASU 2011-02 had no impact on the number of restructured loans that are considered TDRs.

All TDRs identified by the Company are commercial mortgage loans modified by granting concessions to borrowers where, as a result of the restructuring, the Company does not expect to collect all amounts due, including interest accrued at the original contract rate.

LEVERAGED LEASES AND LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS

The Company was an owner participant in a trust that is a lessor in a leveraged lease agreement entered into on October 21, 1994, under which equipment having an estimated economic life of 25-40 years was originally leased through a VIE for a term of 9.78 years.  The master lessee had the option to purchase the equipment at the expiration of the lease term.  The Company's equity investment in this VIE represented 8.33% of the partnership that provided 22.9% of the purchase price of the equipment.  The Company did not have the ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE, nor did it have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.  Therefore, the Company did not consolidate this trust in its consolidated financial statements.  The balance of the purchase price was furnished by third-party long-term debt financing, collateralized by the equipment, and was non-recourse to the Company.  The leveraged lease investment was included as a part of other invested assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2009.

On June 1, 2010, the master lessee elected to exercise a fixed price purchase option to purchase the equipment and the Company received $22.6 million in cash for its investment in the VIE and realized a $3.4 million gain in its consolidated statement of operations.

The Company had no leveraged lease investments at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

The Company had outstanding commitments to fund limited partnerships of approximately $11.8 million and $12.6 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company uses derivative financial instruments for risk management purposes to hedge against specific risks related to interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and equity market conditions, as well as to alter exposure arising from mismatches between assets and liabilities.  Derivative instruments are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value and are presented as assets or liabilities.

The Company does not employ hedge accounting.  The Company believes that its derivatives provide economic hedges and the cost of formally documenting hedge effectiveness in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 815 is not justified.  As a result, all changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in the current period operations as a component of net derivative income or loss.

Credit enhancement, such as collateral, is used to improve the credit risk of longer-term derivative contracts.

It is common, and the Company’s preferred practice, for the parties to execute a Credit Support Annex (“CSA”) in conjunction with the International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement. Under a CSA, collateral is exchanged between the parties to mitigate the market contingent counterparty risk inherent in outstanding positions.

The primary types of derivatives held by the Company include interest rate and foreign currency swap agreements, swaptions, futures, listed and over-the counter (“OTC”) equity options, foreign currency forwards and embedded derivatives, as described below.

Interest Rate and Foreign Currency Swap Agreements

As a component of its investment strategy, the Company utilizes swap agreements.  Swap agreements are agreements to exchange with a counterparty a series of cash flow payments at pre-determined intervals, based upon or calculated by reference to changes in specified interest rates (fixed or floating) or foreign currency exchange rates.  Typically, no cash is exchanged at the outset of the contract and no principal payments are made by either party, except on certain foreign currency exchange swaps.  A single net payment is usually made by one counterparty at pre-determined dates.  The net payment is recorded as a component of net derivative loss in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

Interest rate swaps are generally used to manage the sensitivity of the duration gap between assets and liabilities to interest rate changes or to manage the exposure to product guarantees sensitive to movements in equity market and interest rate levels related to life insurance contracts, fixed index annuities and variable annuities.

Foreign currency swaps are utilized as an economic hedge against changes in foreign currencies associated with certain non-U.S. dollar denominated cash flows.

The Company has an agreement with the CARS Trust whereby the Company is the sole beneficiary of the CARS Trust.  Please refer to Note 4 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the CARS Trust.

Swaptions

The Company utilizes payer swaptions to hedge exposure to interest rate risk, typically on product guarantees.  Swaptions give the buyer the option to enter into an interest rate swap per the terms of the original swaption agreement.  A premium is paid on settlement date and no further cash transactions occur until the positions settle or expire.  At expiration, the swaption either cash settles for value, settles into an interest rate swap, or expires worthless per the terms of the original swaption agreement.  At December 31, 2011, the Company did not have any position in swaptions.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES (CONTINUED)

Futures

Equity, interest rate and foreign exchange futures contracts, both long and short, are entered into for purposes of hedging liabilities on fixed index and variable annuity products containing guaranteed minimum death benefit and guaranteed minimum living benefit features, with cash flows based on changes in equity indices, interest rates or foreign exchange rates.  On the trade date, an initial cash margin is deposited as required by the relevant stock exchange.  Cash is subsequently exchanged daily to settle the variation margin or daily fluctuations in the underlying index.

Listed and OTC Equity Options

In addition to short futures, the Company also utilizes listed put options on major indices to hedge against stock market exposure inherent in the guaranteed minimum death benefit and living benefit features of the Company's variable annuities.  Listed options are traded on the stock exchange similar to futures.  Unlike futures, however, an up-front premium is paid to or received from the counterparty, instead of depositing an initial cash margin with the Exchange.  The Company also purchases listed and OTC call options on major indices to economically hedge its obligations under certain fixed annuity contracts, as well as enhance income on the underlying assets.  On the trade date, an initial cash margin is exchanged for listed options.  Daily cash is exchanged to settle the daily variation margin.

Foreign Currency Forwards

A foreign currency forward is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell currencies at the current market rate, for settlement at a specified future date.  Foreign currency forwards are utilized as an economic hedge against changes in foreign currencies associated with certain non-U.S. dollar denominated cash flows.

4. INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES (CONTINUED)

Concentration of Credit Risk

Credit risk relates to the uncertainty of an obligor’s continued ability to make timely payments in accordance with the contractual terms of the instrument or contract.  With derivative instruments, the Company is primarily exposed to credit risk through its counterparty relationships.  The Company primarily manages credit risk through policies which address the quality of counterparties, contractual requirements for transacting with counterparties and collateral support agreements, and limitations on counterparty concentrations.  Exposures by counterparty and counterparty credit ratings are monitored closely.  All of the contracts are held with counterparties rated A- or higher.  As of December 31, 2011, the Company’s liability positions were linked to a total of 5 affiliated and unaffiliated counterparties, of which the largest single unaffiliated counterparty payable, net of collateral, had credit exposure of $17.7 million to the Company.  As of December 31, 2011, the Company’s asset positions were linked to a total of 11 affiliated and unaffiliated counterparties, of which the largest single unaffiliated counterparty receivable, net of collateral, had credit exposure of $3.9 million.

Credit-related Contingent Features

All derivative transactions are covered under standardized contractual agreements with counterparties, all of which include credit-related contingent features. These standardized agreements include language related to the failure to pay or deliver on an obligation, bankruptcy and additional termination events, such as a credit rating falling below a stipulated level . These triggers generally result in early terminations after a grace period.

Certain counterparty relationships also may include supplementary agreements with additional triggers related to credit downgrades of the Company or its counterparty.  If the Company’s credit rating were to fall below the stipulated level, this could result in a reduction of minimum thresholds in collateral agreements or full overnight collateralization.  These impacts can frequently be mitigated, however, through re-negotiation of contractual terms.

The aggregate value of all derivative instruments with credit risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position at December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $287.1 million and $362.0 million, respectively.  At December 31, 2011, the Company was fully collateralized, substantially mitigating credit risk.

In the event of an early termination, the Company might be required to accelerate payments to counterparties, up to the current value of its net liability positions, after considering the impacts of netting at default.  If payments cannot be exchanged simultaneously at early termination, funds also will be held in escrow to facilitate settlement.  If an early termination was triggered on December 31, 2011, the Company would be expected to settle a net obligation of $79.1 million.

If counterparties are unable to meet accelerated payment obligations, the Company may also be exposed to uncollectible net asset positions, after considering the impact of netting at default.

At December 31, 2011, the Company pledged $289.6 million in U.S. Treasury securities as collateral to counterparties.  At December 31, 2011, counterparties pledged to the Company $245.1 million in collateral comprised of cash and U.S. Treasury securities.

Embedded Derivatives

The Company performs a quarterly analysis of its new contracts, agreements and financial instruments for embedded derivatives.  No embedded derivatives required bifurcation from financial assets.  However, the Company issues certain annuity contracts and enters into reinsurance agreements that contain derivatives embedded in the contract.  Upon issuing the contract, the embedded derivative is separated from the host contract (annuity contract or reinsurance agreement) and is carried at fair value.  Please refer to Note 8 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for further information regarding derivatives embedded in reinsurance contracts; refer to Note 12 for further information regarding derivatives embedded in annuity contracts.

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  In determining fair value, the Company uses various methods including market, income and cost approaches.  The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs.

The Company has categorized its financial instruments that are carried at fair value into a three-level hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique.  The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).  If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

On April 1, 2009, the FASB issued additional guidance on estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased, as well as guidance on identifying circumstances indicating that a transaction is not orderly.  The Company reviewed its pricing sources and methodologies and has concluded that its various pricing sources and methodologies are in compliance with this guidance.  During the year ended December 31, 2011, there were no changes to these valuation techniques and the related inputs.

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT (CONTINUED)

Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets are categorized as follows:

Level 1

 
·
Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market.

The types of assets and liabilities utilizing Level 1 valuations include U.S. Treasury and agency securities, investments in publicly-traded mutual funds with quoted market prices and listed derivatives.

Level 2

 
·
Quoted prices in markets that are not active or significant inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 2 inputs include the following:

 
a)
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets,
 
b)
Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets,
 
c)
Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable, and
 
d)
Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means.
 
 
The types of assets and liabilities utilizing Level 2 valuations generally include U.S. Government securities not backed by the full faith and credit of the Government, municipal bonds, structured notes and certain ABS including collateralized debt obligations, RMBS, CMBS, certain corporate debt, certain private equity investments and certain derivatives, including derivatives embedded in reinsurance contracts.

Level 3

 
·
Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. They reflect management's assumptions about what a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Generally, the types of assets and liabilities utilizing Level 3 valuations are certain ABS, RMBS and CMBS, certain corporate debt, certain private equity investments, certain mutual fund holdings and certain derivatives, including certain derivatives embedded in reinsurance and annuity contracts and certain funding agreements.

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT (CONTINUED)

Fair Value Hierarchy (continued)

The methods and assumptions that the Company uses in determining the estimated fair value of its financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

Fixed maturity securities:  The Company determines the fair value of its publicly-traded fixed maturity securities using three primary pricing methods: third-party pricing services, non-binding broker quotes and pricing models.  Prices are first sought from third-party pricing services; the remaining unpriced securities are priced using one of the remaining two methods.  Third-party pricing services derive the security prices through recently reported trades for identical or similar securities with adjustments for trading volumes and market observable information through the reporting date.  In the event that there are no recent market trades, pricing services and brokers may use pricing models to develop a security price based on future expected cash flows discounted at an estimated market rate using collateral performance and vintages.  The Company generally does not adjust quotes or prices obtained from brokers or pricing services.

Structured securities, such as ABS, RMBS and CMBS, are priced using third-party pricing services, a fair value model or independent broker quotations.  CMBS securities are priced using the last sale price of the day or a broker quote, if no sales were transacted that day.  Typical inputs used by these three pricing methods include, but are not limited to, reported trades, benchmark yields, issuer spreads, bids and/or estimated cash flows and prepayment speeds.  In addition, estimates of expected future prepayments are factors in determining the price of ABS, RMBS and CMBS.  These estimates are based on the underlying collateral and structure of the security, as well as prepayment speeds previously experienced in the market at interest rate levels projected for the underlying collateral.  Actual prepayment experience may vary from these estimates.

For privately-placed fixed maturity securities, fair values are estimated using models which take into account credit spreads for publicly-traded securities of similar credit risk, maturity, prepayment and liquidity characteristics.  A portion of privately-placed fixed maturity securities also are priced using market prices or broker quotes.

The Company’s ability to liquidate positions in privately-placed fixed securities and mortgages could be impacted to a significant degree by the lack of an actively traded market.  Although the Company believes that its estimates reasonably reflect the fair value of those instruments, its key assumptions about risk-free interest rates, risk premiums, performance of underlying collateral (if any) and other factors may not reflect those of an active market.

Derivative instruments - receivables and payables:  The fair values of swaps are based on current settlement values, dealer quotes and market prices.  Fair values for options and futures are also based on dealer quotes and market prices.  The Company uses credit valuation adjustments (“CVAs”) to properly reflect the component of fair value of certain derivative instruments that arise from default risk.  CVAs are based on a methodology that primarily uses published credit default swap spreads as a key input in determining an implied level of expected loss over the total life of the derivative contract.  When this information is not available, the Company also may utilize credit spreads implied from published bond yields or published cumulative default experience data adjusted for current trends.  CVAs may be calculated based on the credit risk of counterparties for asset positions or the Company's own credit risk for liability positions.  The CVAs also take into account contractual factors designed to reduce the Company’s credit exposure to each counterparty, such as collateral and legal rights of offset.

Other invested assets:  This financial instrument primarily consists of equity securities.  The fair value of the Company’s equity securities is first based on quoted market prices.  Similar to fixed maturity securities, the Company uses pricing services and broker quotes to price the equity securities for which the quoted market price is not available.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments:  The carrying value for cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments approximates fair value due to the short-term nature and liquidity of the balances.

Separate accounts, assets and liabilities:  The estimated fair value of assets held in separate accounts is based on quoted market prices.  The fair value of liabilities related to separate accounts is the amount payable on demand, which excludes surrender charges.

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT (CONTINUED)

Fair Value Hierarchy (continued)

Other policy liabilities:  The fair values of S&P 500 Index and other equity-linked embedded derivatives are produced using standard derivative valuation techniques.  GMAB and GMWB are considered to be derivatives under FASB ASC Topic 815 and are included in contractholder deposit funds and other policy liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.  Consistent with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 820, the Company incorporates risk margins and the Company’s own credit standing, as well as changes in assumptions regarding policyholder behavior, in the calculation of the fair value of embedded derivatives.

Other liabilities:  This financial instrument consists of bank overdraft balances which are due to issued checks and transmitted wires that were not cashed and processed in the Company’s bank accounts at the end of the reporting period.  Similar to cash, the carrying value for other liabilities approximates fair value due to the liquidity of the balance.

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT (CONTINUED)

Financial Instruments Not Considered at Fair Value

FASB ASC Topic 825 requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments including those that are not carried at fair value. FASB ASC Topic 825 also excludes certain insurance liabilities and other non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements.  The fair value amounts presented herein do not include the expected interest margin (interest earnings over interest credited) to be earned in the future on investment-type products or other intangible items.  Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented herein do not necessarily represent the underlying value to the Company.  Likewise, care should be exercised in deriving conclusions about the Company's business or financial condition based on the fair value information presented herein.

The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments that are not carried at fair value at:

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in determining the estimated fair value of the above financial instruments:

Interest receivable on the above financial instruments is stated at carrying value which approximates fair value.

Mortgage loans:  The fair values of mortgage loans are estimated by discounting future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.

Policy loans:  The fair value of policy loans is determined by estimating future policy loan cash flows and discounting the cash flows at a current market interest rate.

Contractholder deposit funds and other policy liabilities:  The fair values of the Company’s general account insurance reserves and contractholder deposits under investment-type contracts (e.g., insurance, annuity and pension contracts that do not involve mortality or morbidity risks) are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or surrender values based on interest rates currently being offered for similar contracts with maturities consistent with those remaining for all contracts being valued.  Those contracts that are deemed to have short-term guarantees have a carrying amount equal to the estimated market value.  The fair values of other deposits with future maturity dates are estimated using discounted cash flows.

Debt payable to affiliates:  The fair value of notes payable and other borrowings is based on future cash flows discounted at the stated interest rate, considering all appropriate terms of the related agreements.  Due to certain provisions included in such agreements, whereby the issuer of most of the notes has the ability to call the notes at par with appropriate approvals, the fair value is equal to par value.  The note, whose issuer does not have the ability to call at par, is reported at fair value.

8. REINSURANCE

Reinsurance ceded contracts do not relieve the Company from its obligations to its policyholders.  The Company remains liable to its policyholders for the portion reinsured to the extent that any reinsurer does not meet the obligations assumed under the reinsurance agreement.  To minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies, the Company regularly evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentrations of credit risk.  Management believes that any liability from this contingency is unlikely.

The effects of the Company’s reinsurance agreements in the consolidated statements of operations were as follows:

8. REINSURANCE (CONTINUED)

Wealth Management Segment

The Wealth Management segment manages a closed block of SPWL insurance policies, a retirement-oriented tax-advantaged life insurance product.  The Company discontinued sales of the SPWL product in response to certain tax law changes in the 1980s.  The Company had SPWL policyholder balances of $1.3 billion and $1.5 billion at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  This entire block of business is reinsured on a funds-withheld coinsurance basis with SLOC, an affiliate.  Pursuant to this agreement, the Company held the following assets and liabilities at December 31:

 
2011 
 
2010 
Assets
 
 
 
 
 
Reinsurance receivables
$

2,160 
 
 
1,823 
Reinsurance payable
$
1,410,748 
 
$
1,555,336 

The funds-withheld assets of $1.4 billion and $1.6 billion at December 31, 2011 and  2010, respectively, are comprised of fixed maturity securities, mortgage loans, policy loans, derivative instruments, and cash and cash equivalents that are managed by the Company.  The fair value of the embedded derivative increased contractholder deposit funds and other policy liabilities by $31.8 million and $14.0 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The change in the fair value of this embedded derivative decreased derivative income by $17.8 million, $24.6 million, and $120.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

By reinsuring the SPWL product, the Company increased (decreased) net investment income by $48.5 million, $(49.9) million and $(126.6) million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The Company also increased (decreased) interest credited by $55.4 million, $(71.5) million and $(73.9) million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The net investment income ceded for the year ended December 31, 2011 was decreased by $113.3 million due to an interest rate adjustment processed during the year.  The interest credited ceded for year ended December 31, 2011 was decreased by $113.3 million due to policy reinstatements and interest rate adjustments processed during the year.  The adjustment was recorded to correct the Company’s prior year policy loan balances that were overstated by $113.3 million due to inaccurate interest rates applied to certain SPWL policies’ loan balances.  The adjustment did not have any impact on the interest credited and net investment income, net of reinsurances, reported in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations due to the 100% funds-withheld reinsurance agreement with SLOC noted above.  The adjustment also resulted in a $113.3 million decrease in policy loans, contractholder deposit funds and other policy liabilities, reinsurance receivable, and reinsurance payable in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2011.

8. REINSURANCE (CONTINUED)

Individual Protection Segment

The following are the Company’s significant reinsurance agreements that impact the Individual Protection segment.

On February 11, 2009, the Company received regulatory approval and entered into a reinsurance agreement with BarbCo 3, an affiliate, to cede all of the risks associated with certain in-force corporate and bank-owned variable universal life and private placement variable universal life policies on a combination coinsurance, coinsurance with funds-withheld and a modified coinsurance basis.

Effective January 1, 2010, the Company and BarbCo 3 amended the agreement to include coverage of certain corporate and bank-owned variable universal life and private placement variable universal life insurance cases sold between December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010, inclusive.  Reinsurance coverage continued for all cases sold prior to April 1, 2010.  However, cases sold on or after April 1, 2010 have not been reinsured.  This amendment also enabled the Company to discontinue reinsuring a portion of the covered business that was previously reinsured on a modified coinsurance basis, effective April 1, 2010.  The discontinuance of the business reinsured on a modified coinsurance basis did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

At the inception of the transaction, BarbCo 3 paid an initial ceding commission to the Company of $41.5 million and the Company recorded a reinsurance payable and related reinsurance receivable of $370.7 million and $329.2 million, respectively.  The reinsurance payable included a funds-withheld liability of $247.9 million and a deferred gain of $122.8 million.  Pursuant to this agreement, the Company held the following assets and liabilities at:

The change in fair value of the embedded derivative (decreased) increased derivative income by $(10.0) million and $2.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  In addition, during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the reinsurance agreement reduced revenues by $53.2 million and $24.3 million, respectively, and decreased expenses by $31.3 million and $56.2 million, respectively.

Individual Protection Segment (continued)

The Company’s subsidiary, SLNY, has a funds-withheld reinsurance agreement with SLOC under which SLOC funds a portion of the statutory reserves (“AXXX reserves”) required by New York Regulation 147, which is substantially similar to Actuarial Guideline 38, as adopted by the NAIC, attributable to certain UL policies sold by SLNY.  Under this agreement SLNY ceded, and SLOC assumed, on a funds-withheld 90% coinsurance basis certain in-force policies at December 31, 2007.  Pursuant to this agreement, SLNY held the following assets and liabilities at December 31:

The change in the fair value of this embedded derivative decreased derivative income by $28.1 million, $3.9 million and $11.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  In addition, the activities related to the reinsurance agreement have decreased revenues by $48.8 million, $31.0 million and $29.0 million, and decreased expenses by $26.8 million, $28.0 million and $20.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The Company has other reinsurance agreements with SLOC and several unrelated companies, which provide reinsurance for portions of the net-amount-at-risk under certain individual variable universal life, individual private placement variable universal life, bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”) and corporate owned life insurance (“COLI”) policies.  These amounts are reinsured on a monthly renewable term, a yearly renewable term or a modified coinsurance basis.  These other agreements decreased revenues by approximately $91.7 million, $134.7 million and $173.9 million and reduced expenses by approximately $79.9 million, $140.1 million and $168.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Group Protection Segment

SLNY has several agreements with unrelated companies whereby the unrelated companies reinsure the mortality and morbidity risks of certain of SLNY’s group contracts.

SLNY also has a reinsurance agreement, effective May 31, 2007, to assume the net risks of SLHIC’s New York issued contracts.  At December 31, 2011 and 2010, SLNY held policyholder liabilities of $25.7 million and $28.6 million, respectively, related to this agreement.  In addition, the reinsurance agreement increased revenues by $36.2 million, $47.6 million and $52.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and increased expenses by $26.2 million, $31.2 million and $44.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

9.  RETIREMENT PLANS

Effective December 31, 2009, the Company transferred all of its employees to an affiliate, Sun Life Services, with the exception of 28 employees who were transferred to SLFD, another affiliate.  As a result of this transaction, the Company transferred pension and other employee benefit liabilities, accumulated other comprehensive income related to pension and other postretirement plans, and cash to Sun Life Services.  Concurrent with this transaction, Sun Life Services became the sponsor of the retirement plans described below.  The employee transfer did not materially change the provisions of the related retirement plans.  The annual cost of these benefits to the Company is allocated and charged to the Company in a manner consistent with the allocation of employee compensation expenses.

Prior to the December 31, 2009 employee transfer, the Company sponsored two non-contributory defined benefit pension plans for its employees and certain affiliated employees.  These plans were the staff qualified pension plan (“staff pension plan”) and the staff nonqualified pension plan (“UBF plan”) (collectively, the “Pension Plans”).  Expenses were allocated to participating companies based in a manner consistent with the allocation of employee compensation expenses.  The Company's funding policies for the staff pension plan was to contribute amounts which at least satisfy the minimum amount required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).  Most pension plan assets consist of separate accounts of SLOC or other insurance company contracts.

Prior to the December 31, 2009 employee transfer, the Company sponsored a postretirement benefit plan for its employees and certain affiliated employees providing certain health, dental and life insurance benefits for retired employees and dependents (the “Other Post-Retirement Benefit Plan”).  Expenses were allocated to participating companies based on the number of participants.  Substantially all employees of the participating companies may become eligible for these benefits if they reach normal retirement age while working for the Company, or retire early upon satisfying an alternate age plus service condition.  Life insurance benefits are generally set at a fixed amount.

Under the applicable asset and liability method for recording deferred income taxes, deferred taxes are recognized when assets and liabilities have different values for financial statement and tax reporting purposes, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company’s net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2011 and 2010 was comprised of gross deferred tax assets and gross deferred tax liabilities.  The gross deferred tax asset was primarily related to unrealized investment security losses, actuarial liabilities and net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards, as well as a capital loss carryforward generated in 2009.  At December 31, 2011, the Company had $698.9 million of NOL carryforwards and $20.0 million of capital loss carryforward.  At December 31, 2010, the Company had $958.2 million of NOL carryforwards and $33.7 million of capital loss carryforward.  If not utilized, the NOL carryforwards will begin to expire in 2023 and the capital loss carryforward will expire in 2014.  The Company’s net deferred tax asset was $448.4 million and $394.3 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

10. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

The Company performs the required recoverability (realizability) test in terms of its ability to realize its recorded net deferred tax asset.  In making this determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations.  In projecting future taxable income and sources of capital gains, the Company utilizes historical and current operating results and incorporates assumptions including the amount of future federal and state pre-tax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences, and the implementation of prudent and feasible tax planning strategies.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, no valuation allowance was recorded against the deferred tax asset for investment losses.  The Company believes that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset related to impairment losses will be realized due to tax planning strategies related to certain mortgage-backed securities, the Company’s intent and ability to hold the related investment securities to maturity, and other tax planning strategies.  For the remaining unrealized losses, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that the related deferred tax asset will be realized due to the Company’s intent and ability to hold the related investment securities to recovery of amortized cost.

FASB ASC Topic 740 establishes a comprehensive reporting model which addresses how a business entity should recognize, measure, present and disclose uncertain tax positions that the entity has taken or plans to take on a tax return.

The liability for unrecognized tax benefits (“UTBs”) related to permanent and temporary tax adjustments, exclusive of interest, was $32.9 million, $31.2 million and $42.0 million at December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Of the $32.9 million, $1.6 million represents the amount of UTBs that, if recognized, would favorably affect the Company’s effective income tax rate in future periods, exclusive of any related interest.

The net increase (decreases) in the tax liability for UTBs of $1.7 million, $(10.8) million and $(8.7) million in the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, resulted from the following:

For the Years Ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009

10. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

The Company has elected to recognize interest and penalties accrued related to UTBs in interest expense (income).  During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized $2.6 million, $6.4 million and $(9.0) million, respectively, in gross interest expense (income) related to UTBs.  The Company had approximately $9.2 million and $6.6 million of interest accrued at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  During 2010, the Company settled interest assessments of $4.6 million with the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) for the 2001 and 2002 tax years.  The Company did not accrue any penalties.

While the Company expects the amount of unrecognized tax liabilities to change in the next twelve months, it does not expect the change to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.

The Company files federal income tax returns and income tax returns in various state and local jurisdictions.  With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to examinations by the tax authorities in these jurisdictions for tax years before 2003.  In August 2006, the IRS issued a Revenue Agent’s Report for the Company’s 2001 and 2002 tax years.  The Company disagreed with some of the proposed adjustments, filed a protest, and the case was assigned to the Appeals division of the IRS (“Appeals”).  A settlement was reached and formally approved by the Company on January 11, 2010.   The effects of the settlement are in line with previous expectations and had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On August 4, 2011, the IRS held an Opening Conference with the Company for the audit of the tax years 2007-2009.  The Company is in the process of responding to the IRS requests for information. The Company also provided a disclosure letter to the IRS on September 21, 2011, informing the IRS of potential issues in the tax years under audit.

On January 6, 2011, the IRS issued a Revenue Agent’s Report for the Company for tax years 2005 and 2006.  The Company disagrees with some of the issues and is in the process of filing a protest.  While the final outcome of the appeal and ongoing tax examinations is not determinable, the Company has adequate liabilities accrued and does not believe that any adjustments would be material to its financial position.

In October 2008, the IRS issued a Revenue Agent’s Report for the Company’s tax years 2003 and 2004.  The Company disagreed with some of the adjustments and filed a protest, which was assigned to Appeals in 2009.  On May 27, 2010, the IRS held an opening conference for the 2003 and 2004 Appeals.  The Company is involved in discussions with the IRS to reach a resolution.

The Company will file a consolidated federal income tax return with SLC – U.S. Ops Holdings for the  year ended December 31, 2011, as the Company did for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Effective December 31, 2009, the Company paid a dividend of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Sun Life Vermont to the Parent.  Sun Life Vermont continues to be included in the consolidated federal income tax return of the Parent after 2009.

The Company makes or receives payments under certain tax sharing agreements with SLC – U.S. Ops Holdings.  Under these agreements, such payments are determined based upon the Company’s stand-alone taxable income (as if it were filing as a separate company) and based upon the SLC – U.S. Ops Holdings consolidated group’s overall taxable position.  Under the terms of the tax sharing agreements, deferred tax assets for tax attributes are realized by the Company when the tax attributes are utilized by the consolidated group.  The Company received income tax refunds of $21.0 million and $107.1 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively, and made income tax payments of $21.1 million in 2009.

The liability for death and income benefit guarantees is established equal to a benefit ratio, multiplied by the cumulative contract charges earned, plus accrued interest less contract benefit payments.  The benefit ratio is calculated as the estimated present value of all expected contract benefits divided by the present value of all expected contract charges.  The benefit ratio may be in excess of 100%.  For guarantees in the event of death, benefits represent the current guaranteed minimum death payments in excess of the current account balance.  For guarantees at annuitization, benefits represent the present value of the minimum guaranteed annuity benefits in excess of the current account balance.

Projected benefits and assessments used in determining the liability for contract guarantees are developed using a projection model and stochastic scenarios.  Underlying assumptions for the liability related to income benefits include assumed future annuitization elections based upon factors such as eligibility conditions and the annuitant’s attained age.

The liability for guarantees is re-calculated and adjusted regularly.  Changes to the liability balance are recorded as a charge or credit to policyowner benefits.

12. LIABILITIES FOR CONTRACT GUARANTEES (CONTINUED)

GMABs and GMWBs are considered to be derivatives under FASB ASC Topic 815 and are recorded at fair value through earnings.  The Company records GMAB and GMWB assets or liabilities in its consolidated balance sheets as part of contractholder deposit funds and other policy liabilities.  The net balance of GMABs and GMWBs constituted a liability in the amount of $1,286.8 million and $2.3 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The Company includes the following unobservable inputs in its calculation of the embedded derivative:

Actively-Managed Volatility Adjustments – This component incorporates the basis differential between the observable implied volatilities for each index and the actively-managed funds underlying the variable annuity product.  The adjustment is based upon historical actively-managed fund volatilities and historical weighted-average index volatilities.

Credit Standing Adjustment – This component makes an adjustment that market participants would make to reflect the non-performance risk associated with the embedded derivatives.  The adjustment is based upon the published credit spread for A-rated corporate bonds, which have ratings that are equivalent to the rating of the Company.

Behavior Risk Margin – This component adds a margin that market participants would require for the risk that the Company’s best estimate policyholder behavior assumptions could differ from actual experience.  This risk margin is determined by taking the difference between the fair value based on adverse policyholder behavior assumptions and the fair value based on best estimate policyholder behavior assumptions, using assumptions the Company believes market participants would use in developing risk margins.

Includes interest, unlocking and loss recognition.

Refer to Note 1 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for information regarding the deferral and amortization methodologies related to DAC asset and SIA.  The Company tested its DAC asset and SIA for future recoverability and determined that the assets were not impaired at December 31, 2011.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recorded a negative amortization increasing its DAC asset and SIA by $770.2 million.  The negative amortization related to a decrease in actual gross profit which was due to a $1.3 billion increase in the fair value of GMAB and GMWB liabilities related to certain variable annuity products.  The increase in DAC asset and SIA was offset by an unlocking adjustment decreasing DAC asset and SIA by $575.2 million.  The unlocking adjustment recorded in 2011 was due to the total present value of the gross profit for the largest cohort of the Company’s fixed annuities, which was negative at December 31, 2011 resulting in decrease in DAC asset and SIA.

The Company wrote down DAC asset and SIA by $21.0 million and $126.0 million as a result of loss recognition related to certain annuity products for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Of the $21.0 million charge for loss recognition in 2011, $18.3 million related to DAC and was reported as amortization of DAC.  The remaining $2.7 million related to SIA and was reported as a component of interest credited in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.  Of the $126.0 million charge for loss recognition in 2010, $117.7 million related to DAC and was reported as amortization of DAC.  The remaining $8.3 million related to SIA and was reported as a component of interest credited in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

The Company tested the VOCRA asset for impairment in the fourth quarter of 2009 and determined that the fair value was lower than its carrying value.  Accordingly, the Company decreased the carrying value of VOCRA and recorded an impairment charge of $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The impairment charge is included in amortization expense in the consolidated statements of operations and is allocated in the Group Protection segment.

15. CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following consolidating financial statements are provided in compliance with Regulation S-X of the SEC and in accordance with SEC Rule 12h-5.

The products of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, SLNY, include, among other products, combination fixed and variable annuity contracts (the “Contracts”) in the State of New York.  These Contracts contain a fixed investment option, where interest is paid at a guaranteed rate for a specified period of time, and withdrawals made before the end of the specified period may be subject to a market value adjustment that can increase or decrease the amount of the withdrawal proceeds (the “fixed investment option period”).  Effective September 27, 2007, the Company provided a full and unconditional guarantee (the “guarantee”) of SLNY’s obligation related to the fixed investment option period related to Contracts currently in-force or sold on or after that date.  The guarantee relieved SLNY of its obligation to file annual, quarterly, and current reports with the SEC on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and Form 8-K.

In the following presentation of consolidating financial statements, the term "SLUS as Parent" is used to denote the Company as a standalone entity, isolated from its subsidiaries and the term “Other Subs” is used to denote the Company's other subsidiaries, with the exception of SLNY.  All consolidating financial statements are presented in thousands.

16. SEGMENT INFORMATION

As described below, the Company conducts business primarily in three operating segments and maintains a Corporate segment to provide for the capital needs of the three operating segments and to engage in other financing related activities.  Each segment is defined consistently with the way results are evaluated by the chief operating decision-maker.

Net investment income is allocated based on segmented assets, including allocated capital, by line of business.  Allocations of operating expenses among segments are made using both standard rates and actual expenses incurred.  Management evaluates the results of the operating segments on an after-tax basis.  The Company does not depend on one or a few customers, brokers or agents for a significant portion of its operations.

Wealth Management

The Wealth Management segment includes funding agreements, individual and group variable annuity products, individual and group fixed annuity products and other retirement benefit products.  These contracts may contain any of a number of features including variable or fixed interest rates and equity index options and may be denominated in foreign currencies.  The Company uses derivative instruments to manage the risks inherent in the contract options.  In addition, the Company consolidates certain VIEs as a component of the Wealth Management segment.  Refer to Note 4 for further discussion of the VIE that is consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  Effective January 1, 2010, the Company discontinued the sales of certain of its fixed and fixed index annuity products.  Effective December 30, 2011, the Company discontinued new sales of its variable annuity products.  Refer to Note 1 for further details.

Individual Protection

The Individual Protection segment includes a variety of life insurance products sold to individuals and corporate owners of life insurance.  The products include whole life, UL and variable life products.  The Company discontinued the sales of its individual life products and its corporate-owned life insurance effective December 30, 2011 and January 31, 2012, respectively.  Refer to Note 1 for further details.

17.  REGULATORY FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Company and its insurance subsidiaries are required to file annual statements with state regulatory authorities prepared on a statutory accounting basis prescribed or permitted by such authorities.  As of December 31, 2009, the Company received permission from the Commissioner of Insurance of the State of Delaware to admit the equity value of its subsidiary, ILAC, without requiring audited financial statements because ILAC is not required to prepare audited financial statements under Rhode Island’s Annual Financial Reporting regulation.

Statutory surplus differs from stockholder's equity reported in accordance with GAAP primarily because policy acquisition costs are expensed when incurred, policy liabilities are based on different assumptions, investments are valued differently and deferred income taxes are calculated differently.  The Company’s statutory financials are not prepared on a consolidated basis.

At December 31, the Company and its insurance subsidiaries’ combined statutory capital and surplus and net loss were as follows:

18. DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS

The Company’s and its insurance company subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends is subject to certain statutory restrictions.  The states in which the Company and its insurance company subsidiaries are domiciled have enacted laws governing the payment of dividends to stockholders by domestic insurers.

Pursuant to Delaware's statute, the maximum amount of dividends and other distributions that a domestic insurer may pay in any twelve-month period without prior approval of the Delaware Commissioner of Insurance is limited to the greater of (i) ten percent of its statutory surplus as of the preceding December 31, or (ii) the individual company's statutory net gain from operations for the preceding calendar year.  Any dividends to be paid by an insurer from a source other than statutory surplus, whether or not in excess of the aforementioned threshold, would also require the prior approval of the Delaware Commissioner of Insurance.  The Company is not permitted to pay dividends in 2012 without prior approval from the Delaware Commissioner of Insurance.

In 2011, after receiving prior approval from the Delaware Commissioner of Insurance, the Company paid a $300.0 million return of capital to the Parent.  In 2010 and 2009, the Company did not pay any cash dividends to the Parent.  However in 2009, with regulatory approval, the Company distributed Sun Life Vermont’s net assets and issued and outstanding common stock, totaling $94.9 million in the form of a dividend to the Parent, with regulatory approval.

New York law permits a domestic stock life insurance company to distribute a dividend to its shareholders without prior notice to the New York Superintendent of Financial Services, where the aggregate amount of such dividends in any calendar year does not exceed the lesser of:  (i) ten percent of its surplus to policyholders as of the immediately preceding calendar year; or (ii) its net gain from operations for the immediately preceding calendar year, not including realized capital gains.  SLNY is permitted to pay dividends up to a maximum of $1.9 million in 2012 without prior approval from the superintendent.  No dividends were paid by SLNY during 2011, 2010 or 2009.

Rhode Island law requires prior regulatory approval for any dividend where the amount of such dividend paid during the preceding twelve-month period would exceed the lesser of (i) ten percent of the insurance company’s surplus as of the December 31 next preceding, or (ii) its net gain from operations, not including realized capital gains, for the immediately preceding calendar year, excluding pro rata distributions of any class of the insurance company’s own securities.  ILAC is permitted to pay dividends up to a maximum of $2.1 million in 2012 without prior approval from the Rhode Island Superintendent of Insurance.  No dividends were paid by ILAC during 2011, 2010 or 2009.

Guaranty Funds

Under insurance guaranty fund laws in each state, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, insurers licensed to do business can be assessed by state insurance guaranty associations for certain obligations of insolvent insurance companies to policyholders and claimants. Most of these laws provide, however, that an assessment may be excused or deferred if it would threaten an insurer's solvency and further provide annual limits on such assessments.  In addition, part of the assessments paid by the Company pursuant to these laws may be used as credits for a portion of the associated premium taxes.  During the twelve month-period ended December 31, 2011, the Company recorded a $9.3 million accrual for guaranteed fund assessments.

Income Taxes

In Revenue Ruling 2007-61, issued on September 25, 2007, the IRS announced its intention to issue regulations with respect to certain computational aspects of the dividends-received-deduction (the “DRD”) on separate account assets held in connection with variable annuity contracts.  Revenue Ruling 2007-61 suspended Revenue Ruling 2007-54, issued on August 16, 2007, that purported to change accepted industry and IRS interpretations of the statutes governing computational questions impacting the DRD.  On May 30, 2010, the IRS issued an Industry Director Directive which makes clear that IRS interpretations prior to Revenue Ruling 2007-54 should be followed until new regulations are issued.  New DRD regulations that the IRS proposes for issuance on this matter will be subject to public comment, at which time the insurance industry and other interested parties will have the opportunity to raise comments and questions about the content, scope and application of new regulations.  The timing, substance and effective date of the new regulations are unknown, but they could result in the elimination of some or all of the separate account DRD tax benefit that the Company ultimately receives.  For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded benefits of $14.8 million and $11.5 million, respectively, related to the separate account DRD.  The amounts recorded for the year ended December 31, 2010 included an adjustment of $3.2 million to reflect a reduced run rate of separate account DRD benefits following the filing of the 2009 tax return.

Litigation

The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to threatened or pending legal proceedings, including ordinary routine litigation incidental to their business, both as a defendant and as a plaintiff.  While it is not possible to predict the resolution of these proceedings, management believes, based upon currently available information, that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not be materially adverse to the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


 
 

 

SUN LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY OF CANADA (U.S.)
(A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Holdings, Inc.)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands)

For the Years Ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009

20. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)

Indemnities

In the normal course of its business, the Company has entered into agreements that include indemnities in favor of third parties, such as contracts with advisors and consultants, outsourcing agreements, underwriting and agency agreements, information technology agreements, distribution agreements and service agreements.  The Company has also agreed to indemnify its directors, officers and employees in accordance with the Company’s by-laws.  The Company believes any potential liability under these agreements is neither probable nor estimatable. Therefore, the Company has not recorded any associated liability.

Lease Commitments

The Company leases certain facilities under operating leases with terms of up to five years.  As of December 31, 2011, minimum future lease payments under such leases were as follow:

The Company was party to a guarantee agreement under which the Company guaranteed the lease payment obligations of SLFD.  The lease agreement was terminated and the Company was not required to pay or accrue any of the lease termination costs.

Total rental expense for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $7.0 million, $7.2 million and $6.9 million, respectively.

21. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

During the first quarter of 2012, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, SLNY, received all necessary insurance regulatory approvals to amend the fixed investment option period in their combination fixed and variable annuity contracts and other contracts to remove any negative market value adjustment (“MVA”) that can decrease the amount of the withdrawal proceeds.  (Refer to Note 15 for additional information concerning the MVA and the fixed investment option period).  The Company and SLNY filed amendments to the necessary registration statements to include the contract amendments and to remove from registration any fixed investment options that remained unsold.  The SEC declared the associated amended registration statements effective on March 22, 2012.  As a result of the foregoing, the fixed investment option period in the contracts is no longer considered a “security” under the Securities Act of 1933, and the Company subsequently filed Forms 15 on March 23, 2012 to provide notice of suspension of its duty to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  No other changes were made to the contracts, and all other terms and conditions of the contracts remain unchanged.  The MVA amendment described above did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.

(collectively the "Sub-Accounts"), as of December 31, 2011, and the related statements of operations and the statements of changes in net assets for each of the periods presented.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Sponsor’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Sub-Accounts are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Sub-Accounts’ internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2011, by correspondence with the mutual fund companies.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Sub-Accounts as of December 31, 2011, and the results of their operations and the changes in their net assets for each of the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(A Separate Account of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.))

 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011
       

 
1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

Sun Life of Canada (U.S.) Variable Account F (the “Variable Account”) is a separate account of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) (the “Sponsor”) and was established on July 13, 1989 as a funding vehicle for the variable portion of Regatta contracts, Regatta Gold contracts, Regatta Classic contracts, Regatta Platinum contracts, Regatta Extra contracts, Regatta Choice contracts, Regatta Access contracts, Regatta Flex 4 contracts, Regatta Flex II contracts, Regatta Choice II contracts, Sun Life Financial Masters Extra contracts, Sun Life Financial Masters Choice contracts, Sun Life Financial Masters Access contracts, Sun Life Financial Masters Flex contracts, Sun Life Financial Masters IV contracts, Sun Life Financial Masters VII contracts, Sun Life Financial Masters Extra II contracts, Sun Life Financial Masters Choice II contracts, Sun Life Financial Masters Flex II contracts, Sun Life Financial Masters I Share contracts (collectively the “Contracts”), and certain other fixed and variable annuity contracts issued by the Sponsor.  The Variable Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a unit investment trust existing in accordance with the regulations of the Delaware Insurance Department.

The assets of the Variable Account are divided into “Sub-Accounts”. Each Sub-Account is invested in shares of a specific mutual fund (collectively the “Funds”), or series thereof, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.  The contract owners of the Variable Account direct the deposits into the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account.

Under applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities of the Variable Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the Sponsor’s other assets and liabilities.  Assets applicable to the Variable Account are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business the Sponsor may conduct.


 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Sponsor’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Investment Valuation and Transactions
Investments made in mutual funds are carried at fair value and are valued at their closing net asset value as determined by the respective mutual fund, which in turn value their investments at fair value, as of December 31, 2011.  Transactions are recorded on a trade date basis.  Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are determined on the first in, first out basis.  Dividend income and realized gain distributions are reinvested in additional fund shares and recognized on the ex-dividend date.

Units
The number of units credited is determined by dividing the dollar amount allocated to a Sub-Account by the unit value for that Sub-Account for the period during which the purchase payment was received.  The unit value for each Sub-Account is established at $10.00 for the first period of that Sub-Account and is subsequently measured based on the performance of the investments and the contract charges selected by the contract holder, as discussed in note 4.

Purchase Payments
Upon issuance of new Contracts, the initial purchase payment is credited to the contract in the form of units.  All subsequent purchase payments are applied using the unit values for the period during which the purchase payment is received.

Transfers
Transfers between Sub-Accounts requested by contract owners are recorded in the new Sub-Account upon receipt of the redemption proceeds at the net asset value at the time of receipt.  In addition, transfers can be made between the Sub-Accounts and the “Fixed Account”.  The Fixed Account is part of the general account of the Sponsor in which purchase payments or contract values may be allocated or transferred.



 
 

 

SUN LIFE OF CANADA (U.S.) VARIABLE ACCOUNT F (REGATTA)
(A Separate Account of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.))

 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Withdrawals
At any time during the accumulation phase (the period before the first annuity payment), the contract owner may elect to receive a cash withdrawal payment under the contract.  If the contract owner requests a full withdrawal, the contract owner will receive the value of their account at the end of period, less the contract maintenance charge for the current contract year and any applicable withdrawal charge.

If the contract owner requests a partial withdrawal, the contract owner will receive the amount requested less any applicable withdrawal charge and the account value will be reduced by the amount requested.  Any requests for partial withdrawals that would result in the value of the contract owner’s account being reduced to an amount less than the contract maintenance charge for the current contract year is treated as a request for a full withdrawal.

Annuitization
On the annuity commencement date, the contract's accumulation account is canceled and its adjusted value is applied to provide an annuity. The adjusted value will be equal to the value of the accumulation account for the period that ends immediately before the annuity commencement date, reduced by any applicable premium taxes or similar taxes and a proportionate amount of the contract maintenance charge.

Annuity Payments
The amount of the first variable annuity payment is determined in accordance with the annuity payment rates found in the contract.  The number of units to be credited in respect of a particular Sub-Account is determined by dividing that portion of the first variable annuity payment attributable to that Sub-Account by the annuity unit value of that Sub-Account for the period that ends immediately before the annuity commencement date. The number of units of each Sub-Account credited to the contract then remains fixed, unless an exchange of units is made. The dollar amount of each variable annuity payment after the first may increase, decrease or remain constant, depending on the investment performance of the Sub-Accounts.

Federal Income Taxes
The operations of the Variable Account are part of the operations of the Sponsor and are not taxed separately. The Sponsor qualifies for the federal income tax treatment granted to life insurance companies under Subchapter L of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). Under existing federal income tax law, investment income and realized gain distributions earned by the Variable Account on contract owner reserves are not taxable, and therefore, no provision has been made for federal income taxes.  In the event of a change in applicable tax law, the Sponsor will review this policy and if necessary a charge may be made in future years.

Accounting for Uncertain Tax Provisions
Management evaluates whether or not there are uncertain tax positions that require financial statement recognition and has determined that no reserves for uncertain tax positions are required at December 31, 2011. The 2007 through 2010 tax years generally remain subject to examination by U.S. federal and most state tax authorities.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. The most significant estimates are fair value measurements of investments and the calculation of the reserve for variable annuities.  Actual results could vary from the amounts derived from management's estimates.

Subsequent events
Management has evaluated events subsequent to December 31, 2011 and through the issuance date of the Variable Account’s financial statements, noting there are no subsequent events requiring accounting or disclosure.

The activity in Level 3 fair value measurements.

On January 1, 2010 the Variable Account adopted the provisions of ASU No. 2010-06 which require new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures, which are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Variable Account’s financial statements.  Effective January 1, 2011, the Variable Account adopted the provisions of the standards relating to disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll-forward of activities in Level 3.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Variable Account’s financial statements.  The required disclosures are included in note 8 of the Variable Account’s financial statements.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS,” which change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements.  Some of the amendments clarify the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, while other amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements.  Many of the requirements in this update are not meant to result in a change in application of the requirements of Topic 820, but to improve upon an entities consistency in application across jurisdictions to ensure that U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are described in the same way.  The amendments in ASU 2011-04 are effective, on a retrospective basis, for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  The Company will adopt ASU 2011-04 on January 1, 2012 and does not expect its requirements to significantly impact the Variable Account’s financial statements.

Distribution and administrative expense charges
For assuming the risk that surrender charges may be insufficient to compensate the Sponsor for the costs of distributing the Contracts, the Sponsor makes a deduction from the Sub-Account at the end of each valuation period for the first seven account years at an effective annual rate of 0.15% of the average daily value of the contract invested in the Sub-Account attributable to Regatta, Sun Life Financial Masters VII, Sun Life Financial Masters Extra, Sun Life Financial Masters Extra II, Sun Life Financial Masters Choice and Sun Life Financial Masters Choice II, and at an effective annual rate of 0.20% of the average daily value of the contract invested in the Sub-Account attributable to Sun Life Financial Masters IV, Sun Life Financial Masters Access, Sun Life Financial Masters Flex and Sun Life Financial Masters Flex II. There are no distribution charges associated with the other contracts listed in footnote 1.

Additionally, for Regatta, Regatta Gold, Regatta Classic, Regatta Platinum, Regatta Extra, Regatta Access, Regatta Choice, Regatta Flex 4, Regatta Flex II, Regatta Choice II, Sun Life Financial Masters Extra, Sun Life Financial Masters Choice, Sun Life Financial Masters Access, Sun Life Financial Masters Flex, Sun Life Financial Masters IV, Sun Life Financial Masters VII, Sun Life Financial Masters Extra II, Sun Life Financial Masters Flex II, Sun Life Financial Masters I Share, and Sun Life Financial Masters Choice II contracts, an administrative expense charge is deducted from the assets of the Variable Account at an annual effective rate equal to 0.15% of the average daily Variable Account value.  This charge is designed to reimburse the Sponsor for expenses incurred in administering the Contracts, the accounts and the Variable Account that are not covered by the annual account administration fee (“Account Fee”).

Distribution and administrative expense charges are reflected in the Statement of Operations.

Premium Taxes
A deduction, when applicable, is made for premium taxes or similar state or local taxes.  It is currently the policy of the Sponsor to deduct the taxes at the annuity commencement date.  However, the Sponsor reserves the right to deduct such taxes when incurred.

5. RESERVE FOR VARIABLE ANNUITIES

Reserve for variable annuities represents the actuarial present value of future contract benefits for those contract holders who are in the payout phase of their contract and who chose the variable payout option. Annuity reserves are calculated using the 1983 Individual Annuitant Mortality Table and an assumed interest rate of at least 3% or 4% per year, for Regatta, Regatta Gold, Regatta Classic, and Regatta Platinum as stated in each participant’s contract or certificate, as applicable if the contract’s annuity commencement date is before January 1, 2000.  Annuity reserves are calculated using the 2000 Individual Annuitant Mortality Table at an assumed interest rate of at least 3% or 4% per year, for Regatta, Regatta Gold, Regatta Classic, and Regatta Platinum as stated in each participant’s contract or certificate, as applicable if the contract’s annuity commencement date is on or after January 1, 2000.  Annuity reserves are calculated using the 2000 Individual Annuitant Mortality Table at an assumed interest rate of 3% for Regatta Extra, Regatta Access, Regatta Choice, Regatta Choice II, Regatta Flex II, Regatta Flex 4, Sun Life Financial Masters Choice, Sun Life Financial Masters Access, Sun Life Financial Masters Extra, Sun Life Financial Masters Flex, Sun Life Financial Masters IV, Sun Life Financial Masters VII, Sun Life Financial Masters Choice II, Sun Life Financial Masters Extra II, Sun Life Financial Masters Flex II and Sun Life Financial Masters I Share.  The Individual Annuitant Mortality Tables utilized are subject to change in conjunction with changes in the tables currently adopted by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”). The mortality risk is fully borne by the Sponsor and may result in additional amounts being transferred into the variable annuity account by the Sponsor to cover greater longevity of annuities than expected.  Required adjustments to the reserves are accomplished by transfers to or from the Sponsor.

8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Sub-Accounts’ investments are carried at fair value.  Fair Value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received from a sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.  As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.  As a basis for considering such assumptions, US GAAP establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value (i.e., Level 1, 2 and 3). Level 1 inputs are observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Variable Account has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, for the asset or liability or prices for similar assets and liabilities. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Topic 820 requires that a fair value measurement technique include an adjustment for risks inherent in a particular valuation technique (such as a pricing model) and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the model, if market participants would also include such an adjustment.

The Variable Account has categorized its financial instruments, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into the three level hierarchy described above.  If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

As of December 31, 2011, the inputs used to price the Funds are observable and represent Level 1 assets under the Topic 820 hierarchy levels. There were no Level 2 or 3 investments in the Variable Account during the year ended December 31, 2011. As of December 31, 2011, the Level 1 assets held by the Sub-Accounts was $16,926.0 million.  There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the period.

1 Represents the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the Sub-Account from the underlying mutual fund, net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by the average net assets. The ratio excludes those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that result in direct reductions in the unit values. The recognition of investment income by the Sub-Account is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the Sub-Accounts invest.

2 Ratio represents the annualized contract expenses of the Sub-Account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges. The ratio includes only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying fund are excluded.

3 Ratio represents the total return for the year indicated, including changes in value of the underlying fund, and expenses assessed through the reduction of units.  The total return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units; inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in reduction in the total return presented.

10. TAX DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

Under the provisions of Section 817(h) of the Code, a variable annuity contract, other than a pension plan contract, is not treated as an annuity contract for federal tax purposes for any period in which the investments of the segregated asset account on which the contract is based are not adequately diversified.  The Code provides that the “adequately diversified” requirement may be met if the underlying investments satisfy either a statutory safe harbor test or diversification requirements set forth in regulations issued by the Secretary of Treasury.  The Sponsor believes that the Variable Account satisfies the current requirements of the regulations, and it intends that the Variable Account will continue to meet such requirements.

Item 28. INDEMNIFICATION

Pursuant to Section 145 of the Delaware Corporation Law, Article 8 of the By-laws of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.), as amended March 19, 2004 (a copy of which as filed as Exhibit 3.2 to Depositor’s Form 10-K, File No. 333-82824, filed on March 29, 2004), provides for the indemnification of directors, officers and employees of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.). Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.) pursuant to the certificate of incorporation, by-laws, or otherwise, Sun Life (U.S.) has been advised 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 Sun Life (U.S.) of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, controlling person of Sun Life (U.S.) 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, Sun Life (U.S.) will submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by them is against public policy as expressed in the Act, unless in the opinion of their counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
