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

The Masters Choice II Contract provides a number of important benefits for your retirement planning. You are eligible to purchase a Contract if you are age 85 or younger on the Open Date. During the Accumulation Phase, you make Purchase Payments under the Contract and allocate them to one or more of the Variable Account options or the Fixed Account options available through our dollar-cost averaging program. 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 the optional death benefit at an additional cost if you are younger than age 75 on the Open Date.

The Accumulation Phase

Under most circumstances, you can buy the Contract with an initial Purchase Payment of $10,000 or the maximum annual Individual Retirement Annuity contribution, unless we waive these limits. 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 require that each additional Purchase Payment be at least $1,000. We will not accept, without our prior approval, 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. These general requirements for Purchase Payments apply even if you elect an optional living benefit. In addition, there are other restrictions on the amounts and frequency of Purchase Payments that apply depending upon which optional living benefit you select.

If you select the Income Riser III living benefit, you can only make additional Purchase Payments during your first Account Year. Under Income Riser III, any Purchase Payments received after your first Account Anniversary will be deemed “not in Good Order” and returned to you.

If you select the Income Maximizer or Income Maximizer Plus living benefits, you can make additional Purchase Payments at any time. However, after your first Account Anniversary, Purchase Payments cannot exceed $50,000 per Account Year, without our prior approval. We reserve the right not to allow additional Purchase Payments at any time under Income Maximizer or Income Maximizer Plus. We will notify all Contract Owners in writing before we exercise this right.

Variable Account Options: The Funds

You can allocate your Purchase Payments among the Sub-Accounts investing in a number of Fund options. You may also transfer among the Funds. Each Fund is either a mutual fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or a separate securities portfolio of shares of such a mutual fund. The investment returns on the Funds are not guaranteed. You can make or lose money.

Table of Contents

The Fixed Account Options: The DCA Periods

You can allocate your Purchase Payments to one of the Fixed Account options available through our dollar-cost averaging (“DCA”) program: 6-month DCA Period and 12-month DCA Period. Each DCA 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 required by law. Once we have accepted your allocation to a particular DCA Period, we promise that the Guaranteed Interest Rate applicable to that allocation will not change for the duration of the DCA Period. We reserve the right to stop offering the DCA program. (See “Other Programs.”)

Fees and Expenses

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

If your Account Value is less than $100,000 on your Account Anniversary, we deduct a $50 Annual Account Fee. We will waive the Account Fee if your Account Value is $100,000 or more on your Account Anniversary.

During the Accumulation Phase, we deduct a mortality and expense risk charge at an annual rate of 1.05% of the average daily value of the Contract invested in the Variable Account.

We also deduct an administrative charge at an annual rate of 0.15% of the average daily value and a distribution fee at an annual rate of 0.15% of the average daily value of the Contract invested in the Variable Account.

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 8% and declines to 0% after the Purchase Payment has been in the Contract for seven complete Account Years.

Currently, you can transfer your Account Value among the underlying Funds free of charge. However, we reserve the right to impose a charge of up to $15 per transfer. We limit the number of your Fund transfers to 12 per year. (See “Transfer Privilege.”)

If you elect the optional death benefit, we will deduct, during the Accumulation Phase, an additional charge from the assets of the Variable Account at an annual rate of 0.40% of the average daily value of your Contract.

If you elect an optional living benefit, we will assess a periodic charge at a rate that may differ among the optional living benefits that are available. The annual amount of the charge will not exceed 1.75% for single-life coverage, and 1.95% for joint-life coverage, of the highest Withdrawal Benefit Base during the Account Year.

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.

Optional Living Benefits

At issue, you may choose to participate in one of the following optional living benefits available under your Contract:

 

   

Income Riser III (“SIR III”) offers a guaranteed withdrawal benefit with an opportunity for a bonus to be added to your benefit base if you defer taking withdrawals during a specified time period under your Contract.

 

   

Income Maximizer (“SIM”) offers the same guaranteed withdrawal benefit as SIR III, includes a higher bonus than SIR III, and offers a benefit base enhancement equal to 200% of your first-year Purchase Payments.

 

   

Income Maximizer Plus (“SIM Plus”) offers the same guaranteed withdrawal benefit, bonus, and benefit base enhancement as SIM and offers an additional opportunity to increase the amount of your annual withdrawal over time regardless of market performance.

Table of Contents

If you are age 59 or older, each of the living benefits offer lifetime income even if your Account Value declines to zero, provided that you limit the amount you withdraw annually to a specified percentage of your benefit base and you limit your investments to the Designated Funds. (See “Description of Living Benefits” and “Annual Withdrawal Amount.”) The living benefits also allow you to “step-up,” or increase, your guaranteed amount on an annual basis, if eligible. You will pay a fee for the optional living benefit that you select.

These optional living benefits are available only if you are 85 or younger on the Open Date. For SIM or SIM Plus all Owners and Annuitants must be 21 or older on the Open Date. If you want to participate in an optional living benefit, you must elect it when you purchase your Contract.

Under SIR III, you may make Purchase Payments only during your first Account Year. Any Purchase Payments received after your first Account Anniversary will be deemed “not in Good Order” and returned to you.

Under SIM and SIM Plus, you may make additional Purchase Payments at any time. However, after your first Account Anniversary, you may only make Purchase Payments up to $50,000 per Account Year without our prior approval. In addition, under SIM and SIM Plus, we reserve the right not to accept any additional Purchase Payments. We will notify you in writing before we exercise this right.

Purchase Payments allocated to investment options other than the Designated Funds will only terminate the optional living benefit. Withdrawals taken in excess of allowable amounts, or withdrawals taken prior to certain dates, may severely decrease your Account Value or cause your Contract and your living benefit to terminate without value.

You may terminate an optional living benefit at any time. In addition, your optional living benefit will terminate if you annuitize or if you transfer any portion of your Account Value to an investment option other than one of the Designated Funds. In certain circumstances, a change of ownership may also terminate your living benefit. Upon termination, all benefits and fees associated with the optional living benefit will cease. Once terminated, a living benefit may not be reinstated.

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 on a fixed or variable basis. If you choose to receive any part of your annuity payments on a variable basis, the dollar amount of the payments may fluctuate with the performance of the underlying 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 option.

During the Income Phase, we will deduct total insurance charges at an annual rate of 1.60% of your average daily Annuity Unit values. We will not deduct the mortality and expense risk charge; nor will we deduct the charges for any optional living benefit or optional death benefit. The 1.60% insurance charge, which includes an administrative expense charge and a distribution fee, compensates us for the risks and expenses associated with providing annuity payments during the Income Phase. The level of these insurance charges (1.60%) is higher than the total Variable Account annual expenses without optional benefits (maximum, 1.35%) deducted during the Accumulation Phase.

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 whether you choose the basic death benefit or, for a fee, the optional death benefit. The basic death benefit pays the greater of your Account Value or your total Purchase Payments (adjusted for withdrawals) calculated as of your Death Benefit Date. If you are younger than age 75 on the Open Date, you may purchase the Maximum Anniversary Account Value (“MAV”) optional death benefit which pays the greater of the basic death benefit and the highest Account Value on any Account Anniversary (adjusted for withdrawals) prior to age 81. You must make your election before your Issue Date. Your death benefit election may not be changed after your Issue Date.

Table of Contents

Withdrawals and Withdrawal Charges

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. For the first Account Year, this “free withdrawal amount” equals 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: (1) your Contract’s earnings minus all withdrawals previously taken that were not subject to withdrawal charges, or (2) 15% of all Purchase Payments made in the last seven Account Years minus all withdrawals taken during the current Account Year that were not subject to withdrawal charges. For details regarding how to calculate your Contract earnings, please see “Withdrawal Charge” and “APPENDIX B - WITHDRAWAL CHARGE CALCULATIONS.” All other Purchase Payments withdrawn will be subject to a withdrawal charge. 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 allowed 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.) In states requiring return of Purchase Payments, you will receive the greater of (1) your Surrender Value as of the day we receive your cancellation request or (2) your total Purchase Payments made as of that date. We will only deduct a withdrawal charge when the returned amount is based on Surrender Value.

Tax Provisions

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 your Contract is a Non-Qualified Contract, it is possible that the election of an optional living benefit might increase the taxable portion of any withdrawal you make from the Contract. If you are younger than 5912 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 a 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.

(See “Contract Charges.”) During the Income Phase, the fees will be different than the Total Variable Account Annual Expenses described in the fee table. After you annuitize, we will deduct total insurance charges at an annual rate of 1.60% of your average daily Annuity Unit values; we will no longer deduct a mortality and expense risk charge or the charges for any optional living benefit or the optional death benefit. The 1.60% insurance charge, which includes the administrative expense charge and a distribution fee, compensates us for the risks and expenses associated with providing annuity payments during the Income Phase. The total insurance charges of 1.60% during the Income Phase are higher than the maximum total Variable Account annual expenses (without optional benefits) deducted during the Accumulation Phase.

 

2 

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.”)

 

3 

The premium tax rate and base vary by your state of residence and the type of Contract you own. 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 waived if your Account Value is $100,000 or more on your Account Anniversary. (See “Account Fee.”)

 

5 

All of the Variable Account Annual Expenses, except for the charges for optional living benefits, are assessed as a percentage of average daily net Variable Account assets. The charge for each optional living benefit is assessed on a quarterly basis.

 

6 

The MAV optional death benefit is described under “DEATH BENEFIT.” It is currently available only if you are younger than age 75 on the Open Date.

 

7 

The optional living benefits, and the fees for each of them, are described under “OPTIONAL LIVING BENEFITS.” Only one optional living benefit can be in effect under your Contract at any time. The fee for the optional living benefit is assessed and deducted quarterly based upon your Withdrawal Benefit Base on the last day of the Account Quarter. Different fees may apply depending on whether you have elected single-life or joint-life coverage. On the Issue Date, your Withdrawal Benefit Base is equal to your initial Purchase Payment and is, thereafter, subject to certain adjustments. We reserve the right to increase or decrease the percentage rate used to calculate the fee for each living benefit at any time but, in no event, will the rate ever exceed the maximum annual rate of 1.95% for joint-life, or 1.75% for single-life, coverage. The current annual rates and maximum annual rates used to calculate the fee for each optional living benefit are shown in the chart under “Charges for Optional Benefits.”

 

8 

The Withdrawal Benefit Base is equal to your initial Purchase Payment, and is, thereafter, subject to certain adjustments. (See “Withdrawal Benefit Base” under “OPTIONAL LIVING BENEFITS.”)

 

9 

This amount assumes that MAV (0.40%) was selected and that an optional living benefit with joint-life coverage (1.95%) was also selected (in addition to the 1.05% Mortality and Expense Risk Charge, the 0.15% Administrative Expense Charge, and the 0.15% Distribution Fee). It also assumes that the living benefit’s initial Withdrawal Benefit Base is equal to the initial Purchase Payment. If the Withdrawal Benefit Base changes, the charge for your optional living benefit and your Total Variable Account Annual Expenses would be higher or lower.

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 combines the features producing the highest maximum charges, including the MAV optional death benefit and an optional living benefit with joint-life coverage. 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 Account Fee to a percentage, the Example assumes an average Contract size of $50,000. 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

 

$1,254

   $ 2,351      $ 3,412      $ 6,268  

 

  (2)

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

 

1 year

  

3 years

    

5 years

    

10 years

 

$580

   $ 1,777      $ 3,016      $ 6,268  

 

  (3)

If you do not surrender your Contract:

 

1 year

  

3 years

    

5 years

    

10 years

 

$580

   $ 1,777      $ 3,016      $ 6,268  

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.”

Table of Contents

THE ANNUITY CONTRACT

Delaware Life Insurance Company and Delaware Life Variable Account F (the “Variable Account”) offer the Contract to groups and individuals for use in connection with their retirement plans. Annuities are long-term investment vehicles designed for retirement planning, and are not suitable for short-term investing or speculation. Persons wishing to employ such strategies should not purchase a Contract. 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 certain features that may benefit you in 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 the Fixed Account options available through our DCA program. 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 the optional death benefit for an additional charge.

 

   

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.

You should work with your registered representative to decide whether an optional benefit is appropriate for you based on a thorough analysis of your particular insurance needs, financial objectives, investment goals, time horizons and risk tolerance.

DELAWARE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

We are a stock life insurance company incorporated under the laws of Delaware on January 12, 1970. We are licensed to do business in 49 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. We have a life insurance company subsidiary that is licensed to do business in New York. Our main administrative office address is 1601 Trapelo Road, Suite 30, Waltham, MA 02451.

The immediate parent company of Delaware Life Insurance Company is Group One Thousand One, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on December 12, 2012. Group One Thousand One, LLC is ultimately controlled by Mark R. Walter.

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 contracts that we offer. These other products may have features, benefits and charges that are different from those under the Contract.

Table of Contents

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 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, and the optional living benefit and death benefit guarantees, 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. 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 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 FUNDS

The Contract offers Sub-Accounts that invest in a number of Fund investment options. Each Fund is a mutual fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, or a separate series of shares of such a mutual fund. Not all investment options are available under all Contracts. Please refer to “APPENDIX D - PREVIOUSLY AVAILABLE INVESTMENT OPTIONS” for more information. Currently you may select from the following investment options:

1 

This Fund is a fund-of-funds, which invests substantially all of its assets in shares of other mutual funds. This Fund may be more expensive than other Funds available under your Contract, as a fund-of-funds indirectly pays a portion of the management fees and other expenses incurred by the underlying mutual funds in which it invests. As a result, you will bear, directly, the expenses of the Fund and, indirectly, a portion of the expenses of the underlying funds. These expenses reduce the investment returns of both the Fund and the underlying funds.

 

2 

Only available if you purchased your Contract through a Huntington Bank representative. These Funds do not have different share classes.

 

3 

First Eagle Overseas Variable Fund does not have different share classes.

In marketing materials and other documents, the Fidelity® funds may be referred to as follows: Fidelity® VIP Contrafund® Portfolio, Fidelity® VIP Mid Cap Portfolio, and Fidelity® VIP Balanced Portfolio.

 

5 

There is no assurance that this Fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset value per share. In addition, during extended periods of low interest rates, and partly as a result of asset based separate account charges, the yield on this investment account may become low and possibly negative.

This Fund employs a managed volatility strategy.

More comprehensive information about the Funds, including a discussion of their management, investment objectives, expenses, and potential risks, is found in the current prospectuses for the Funds (the “Fund Prospectuses”). The Fund Prospectuses should be read in conjunction with this Prospectus before you invest. A copy of each Fund Prospectus, as well as each Fund’s Statement of Additional Information, may be obtained without charge on our website, www.delawarelife.com, or by calling us at (877) 253-2323 or by writing to Delaware Life Insurance Company, P.O. Box 758581 Topeka, KS 66675-8581.

The Funds may also be available to registered separate accounts offering variable annuity and variable life products of other affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies, as well as to the Variable Account and other separate accounts of the Company. Although we do not anticipate any disadvantages to this, 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 participating in the Funds. A conflict may occur due to a change in law affecting the operations of variable life and variable annuity separate accounts, differences in the voting instructions of the Participants and Payees and those of other companies, or some other reason. In the event of conflict, we will take any steps necessary to protect Participants and Payees, including withdrawal of the Variable Account from participation in the underlying Funds which are involved in the conflict or substitution of shares of other Funds.

As described in more detail in the Fund prospectuses, certain Funds may employ managed volatility or hedging strategies intended to reduce overall volatility and provide for downside protection during downward movements in equity markets. These hedging strategies could limit the Fund’s upside participation in rising equity markets relative to other Funds with substantially similar investment objectives and policies that do not use such strategies. Investing in such Funds may, however, be helpful in a declining market, because the hedging strategy will reduce your equity exposure under such circumstances, and your Account Value may decline less than would have been the case if you had not invested in Funds with a managed volatility or hedging strategy. In addition, the cost of these strategies may have a negative impact on performance. There is no guarantee that a Fund employing a managed volatility or hedging strategy can achieve or maintain the Fund’s optimal risk targets, and the Fund may not perform as expected. You should consult with your registered representative to determine which combination of investment choices is appropriate for you.

Certain of the investment advisers, transfer agents, or underwriters to the Funds may reimburse us for administrative costs in connection with administering the Funds as investment options under the Contracts. These amounts are not charged to the Funds or Participants, but are paid from assets of the advisers, transfer agents, or underwriters.

Certain publicly available mutual funds may have similar investment goals and principal investment policies and risks as one or more of the Funds, and 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 a Fund and these similar products, including differences in sales charges, expense ratios, and cash flows.

Selection of Funds

The Funds offered through the Contract are selected by the Company. We review the Funds periodically and may remove a Fund or limit its availability to new Purchase Payments and/or transfers of Account Value if we determine that a Fund no longer satisfies one or more of the selection criteria, and/or if the Fund has not attracted significant allocations from Contract Owners. We do not recommend or endorse any particular fund, and we do not provide investment advice. You bear the risk of any decline in your Account Value resulting from the performance of the Funds you have chosen.

We may consider various factors, including, but not limited to, asset class coverage, the alignment of the investment objectives of a Fund with our hedging strategy, the strength of an adviser’s or sub-adviser’s reputation and tenure, brand recognition, performance, and the capability and qualification of each investment firm. Another factor that we may consider is whether the Fund or its service providers (e.g., the investment adviser or sub-advisers) or its affiliates

 

12


Table of Contents

will make payments to us or our affiliates in connection with certain administrative, marketing, and support services, or whether affiliates of the Fund can provide marketing and distribution support for the sale of the Contracts. Accordingly, we may receive compensation from an investment adviser, distributor and/or affiliates(s) of one or more of the Funds based upon an annual percentage of the average assets we hold in the investment options. These amounts, which may vary by adviser, are intended to compensate us for administrative and other services we provide to the Funds and/or affiliate(s) and may be significant. In addition, the Company or the principal underwriter of the Contracts may receive 12b-1 fees (fees which may be levied against the total balance of a mutual fund’s assets and may be used to pay marketing and brokerage expenses of the Fund) deducted from certain Fund assets attributable to the Contract for providing distribution and shareholder support services to some investment options.

THE FIXED ACCOUNT OPTIONS: THE DCA PERIODS

The Fixed Account is made up of all the general assets of the Company (referred to as the “general account”) other than those allocated to any separate account. Amounts you allocate to the DCA program under either the 6-month DCA Period or the 12-month DCA Period, become part of the Fixed Account. (See “Other Programs.”) These general account assets are available to support our insurance and annuity obligations other than those funded by the Variable Account. Any guarantees under the Contract that exceed your Variable Account Value, such as those with any optional living benefit and any death benefit, are paid from our general account (and not the Variable Account). Therefore, any amounts that we may be obligated to pay under the Contract in excess of Variable Account Value are subject to our financial strength and claims-paying ability and our long-term ability to make such payments. We issue other types of insurance policies and financial products as well, and we pay our obligations under those products from our assets in the general account. The general account is subject to claims of creditors made on the assets of the Company.

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 four 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.

Money allocated to a DCA Period earns interest at a Guaranteed Interest Rate. We determine Guaranteed Interest Rates at our discretion. Our determination will be influenced by the interest rates we earn on our fixed income investments as well as other factors, including regulatory and tax requirements, sales commissions, administrative expenses, general economic trends, and competitive factors. You can find out about our current Guaranteed Interest Rates by calling us at (877) 253-2323.

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 if the “Covered Person” dies before the Annuity Commencement Date.

Issuing Your Contract

We “open” the Contract on the Business Day when we receive your Application at our Service Address. We refer to this date as the “Open Date.” We “issue” your Contract on the day we apply your initial Purchase Payment, when your Application is “in Good Order.” An Application is in Good Order when we have received all the information necessary to complete it. We refer to this date as the “Issue Date.”

 

13


Table of Contents

We determine your eligibility for purchasing a Contract and your eligibility for electing the optional death benefit and an optional living benefit based upon the ages of all Owners and Annuitants on the Open Date.

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 your 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 or the maximum annual Individual Retirement Annuity (“IRA”) contribution, unless we waive these limits. 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 prior approval, 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. We reserve the right to refuse Purchase Payments received more than five years after your Issue Date or after your 70th birthday, whichever is later. We will notify you of any change in writing prior to its effectiveness. Within these limits, you may make Purchase Payments at any time during the Accumulation Phase. Additional restrictions may apply if you purchased an optional living benefit. If you are participating in an optional living benefit, you may be limited in the amount and timing of Purchase Payments you can make. (See “OPTIONAL LIVING BENEFITS.”)

Allocation of Net Purchase Payments

You may allocate your Purchase Payments among the different Sub-Accounts and DCA Periods currently available. However, we reserve the right to limit any allocation to a DCA Period to at least $1,000. We will notify you of any change in writing prior to its effectiveness.

In your Application, you may specify the percentage of each Purchase Payment to be allocated to each Sub-Account or DCA Period. These percentages are called your allocation factors. You may change the allocation factors for future Purchase Payments by sending us notice of the change as required. 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 (“Variable Account Value”) and the Fixed Account portion (“Fixed Account Value”). These two components are calculated separately, as described under “Variable Account Value” and “Fixed Account Value.”

 

14


Table of Contents

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.) 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 charge, the administrative expense charge, and the distribution fee) plus any applicable asset-based charge for an optional benefit.

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 the Fixed Account options available under our DCA program, plus interest credited on those amounts, minus withdrawals, transfers out of DCA Periods, and any deductions for charges under the Contract taken from your Fixed Account Value.

We credit interest on amounts allocated to the Fixed Account at the applicable Guaranteed Interest Rate for the duration of the DCA Period you elect. While you are participating in the DCA program, 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 (877) 253-2323.

Transfer Privilege

Permitted Transfers

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

 

   

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

 

   

at least 6 days must elapse between transfers to and from the Sub-Accounts;

 

   

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.”) Additional restrictions apply to transfers made under any of the optional living benefits.

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. 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.

If a written or telephone transfer request as described above is received 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., 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 are genuine. These procedures may require any person requesting a transfer by telephone 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 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 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 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 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.

Table of Contents

Certain transfer requests may result in the modification or cancellation of one or more of the Contract’s optional programs or features that require, or are based on, specific allocations among the available Sub-Accounts or DCA Periods as described more particularly elsewhere in this Prospectus and in Appendix F.

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 or by telephone. 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 (877) 253-2323 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,” above), exceed the maximum fee per transfer presented in the table of “Contract Owner Transaction Expenses” under “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 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.

 

17


Table of Contents

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, 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, 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’ 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’ 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’ Trading Policies may be more restrictive in some respects than the restrictions that we otherwise would impose, and the Funds may modify their 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 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 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 Trading Policies, which are generally 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

 

18


Table of Contents

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

In certain situations, we may reduce or waive the withdrawal charge or the annual Account Fee, credit additional amounts, grant special Guaranteed Interest Rates, or offer other options or benefits. 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, certain sales of larger-sized Contracts (generally, Contracts that have our approval to exceed $2 million in Account Value), 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 AND WITHDRAWAL CHARGES.”

If your Purchase Payments or Account Value exceeds $1 million on your Account Anniversary, an amount equal to 0.15% of your Account Value will be credited to your Account on that date and on every subsequent Account Anniversary during the Accumulation Phase. The 0.15% credit is not a Purchase Payment and therefore no withdrawal charges are directly associated with the credit. This credit will be allocated to the Sub-Accounts in proportion to your Account Value in those Sub-Accounts. It also immediately increases your Account Value and, as a result, other values may be affected. For example:

 

   

An increase in your Account Value may also result in your Account Value becoming the greatest amount payable under the basic death benefit.

 

   

If you are participating in an optional living benefit, the increase in your Account Value may cause a step-up of your Withdrawal Benefit Base.

 

   

This credit is considered earnings and, as such, it is factored into the calculation of your free withdrawal amount.

This credit is paid out of our general account and is the result of cost savings that we expect on Contracts over $1 million.

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.” If you have elected to participate in an optional living benefit or the optional death benefit, certain restrictions may affect the operation or availability of these programs as discussed in more detail under each specific program below.

We reserve the right to terminate each of these programs. You may also terminate your participation in any of these programs at any time by written notice to us or by other means approved by us.

Dollar-Cost Averaging (“DCA”) Program

You may elect to participate in the DCA program, at no extra charge, when you make any Purchase Payment to your Account prior to your Maximum Annuity Commencement Date. If you have elected SIR III, your ability to make Purchase Payments into the DCA program will end after your first Account Anniversary. If you have elected SIM or SIM Plus, you can make additional Purchase Payments into the DCA program at any time. However, under SIM and SIM Plus, we reserve the right not to accept any additional Purchase Payments into the DCA

Table of Contents

program, and any Purchase Payments after the first Account Anniversary may not exceed $50,000 per Account Year without our prior approval.

The DCA program allows you to invest gradually over time by allocating all or a portion of your Purchase Payment to a 6-month DCA Period or 12-month DCA Period. At regular time intervals, we will automatically transfer a portion of your Fixed Account Value to one or more Sub-Accounts that you choose. The program continues until your Fixed Account Value is depleted or you elect to stop the program. The final amount transferred from the Fixed Account will include all interest earned.

Amounts allocated to a DCA Period under the program will earn interest at a rate declared by the Company for the DCA Period you elect. Amounts invested in a Sub-Account may not be transferred to a DCA Period. If you elected to participate in the DCA program when you purchased your Contract, then all future Purchase Payments will be allocated to the DCA program, unless you specify otherwise. Any allocation of a new Purchase Payment to the DCA program will be treated as commencing a new DCA Period.

The main objective of the DCA 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, the DCA program 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. The DCA program allows you to take advantage of market fluctuations. However, it is important to understand that the DCA program does not insure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market.

Asset Allocation

One or more asset allocation models may be available in connection with the Contract, at no extra charge. You may elect to participate in an asset allocation model at any time prior to your Maximum Annuity Commencement Date as long as we are still offering asset allocation models. 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.

Our asset allocation program consists of one or more asset allocation models that we may make available from time to time. You may participate in only one model at a time. Each such asset allocation model represents a combination of Sub-Accounts with a different level of risk. Any asset allocation models, as well as the terms and conditions of this asset allocation program, are fully described in a separate brochure. You may request a copy of this brochure by calling us at (877) 253-2323. We may add or delete such models in the future.

Our asset allocation models are “static.” That is to say, if you elect an asset allocation model, 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 new models will only be offered to Contracts opened on or after the date the new model goes into effect or to Contract Owners who elect an asset allocation model on or after that date. Contract Owners who have elected an existing asset allocation model will remain in that existing model and we will continue to rebalance their percentage allocations among the Sub-Accounts in that existing model. However, such Contract Owners may make an independent decision to change their asset allocations at any time. Investment alternatives, other than these asset allocation models, are available that may enable you to invest your Account Value with similar risk and return

characteristics. You should consult your financial adviser periodically to consider whether any model you have selected is still appropriate for you.

Systematic Withdrawal Program

You may select our Systematic Withdrawal Program at any time prior to your Maximum Annuity Commencement Date. 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. They may also be included as income and subject to a 10% federal tax penalty as well as charges applicable on withdrawal. You should consult a qualified tax professional before choosing this option. We reserve the right to limit the election of this program to Contracts with a minimum Account Value of $10,000.

You are responsible for and may have to adjust the amount and timing of your systematic withdrawals to comply with amounts you are allowed to withdraw under an optional living benefit. For more detail regarding the amount that you may withdraw under your optional living benefit, please see “Annual Withdrawal Amount” and “Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage.”

Withdrawals may significantly reduce the death benefit amount under your Contract. (See “Calculating the Death Benefit.”)

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

Portfolio Rebalancing Program

You may select our Portfolio Rebalancing Program at any time prior to your Maximum Annuity Commencement Date. Under this 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. If you are participating in an optional living benefit, then, on a quarterly basis, we will automatically transfer your Account Value among the Designated Funds you have selected to maintain the percentage allocations you have chosen. (See “DESIGNATED FUNDS” and “BUILD YOUR OWN PORTFOLIO.”)

WITHDRAWALS AND WITHDRAWAL CHARGES

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 Service 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.”) Upon request, we will notify you of the amount we would pay in the event of a full withdrawal. Withdrawals also may have adverse federal income tax consequences, including a 10% penalty tax. (See “TAX PROVISIONS.”) 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:

 

   

first we determine your Account Value based on any Fixed Account Value in the DCA program and on the price next determined for each Sub-Account at the end of the Valuation Period during which we receive your withdrawal request;

 

21


Table of Contents
   

we then deduct the Account Fee, if applicable; and finally,

 

   

we calculate and deduct any applicable withdrawal charge.

A full withdrawal results in the surrender of your Contract, cancellation of all rights and privileges under your Contract, and your optional living benefit will end.

Partial Withdrawals

When you request a partial withdrawal, you can ask to have any applicable charges deducted either from:

 

   

the amount of your partial withdrawal request (thereby reducing the amount you are to receive); or

 

   

your Account Value (thereby reducing your Account Value by the amount of your partial withdrawal request plus any applicable withdrawal charges).

If you make no specification, we will process your withdrawal request using the first option above. Please note: Under either option any applicable taxes will be deducted from the amount you receive.

You may specify the amount you want withdrawn from each Sub-Account and/or Fixed Account option 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. If you have elected “Build Your Own Portfolio,” withdrawals out of your portfolio model will be taken pro-rata from each of your selected Funds.

Withdrawals may significantly reduce any death benefit and/or living benefit amount. In calculating the amount payable under the living benefit or 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 living benefits and the death benefits 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, in Good Order, 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;

 

   

when an SEC order permits us to defer payment for the protection of Participants; or

 

   

when mandated by applicable law.

If, pursuant to SEC rules, a government 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 corresponding 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.

 

 

22


Table of Contents

If mandated under applicable law, we may be required to reject a Purchase Payment and/or block a Contract Owner’s account and thereby refuse to pay any request for transfers, withdrawals, surrenders or death benefits until instructions are received from the appropriate regulators. We may also be required to provide additional information about you or your account to governmental regulators.

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.

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 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 earnings (defined below) minus all withdrawals previously taken that were not subject to withdrawal charges, or

 

   

15% of the amount of all Purchase Payments made in the last seven Account Years (including the current Account Year), minus all withdrawals taken during the current Account Year that were not subject to withdrawal charges.

Your Contract earnings are determined according to the following formula:

(AV - PP) + WD

 

Where:      
  AV   =   Account Value on the business day prior to the day we receive your withdrawal request.
  PP   =   All Purchase Payments.
  WD   =   All withdrawals and withdrawal charges taken.

For an example of how we calculate the “free withdrawal amount,” see “APPENDIX C - CALCULATION OF FREE WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT.”

Order of Withdrawals

Each time you make a withdrawal, we consider the free withdrawal amount to be withdrawn first. If the amount you withdraw is in excess of your free withdrawal amount, then that excess will be subject to a withdrawal charge. We will withdraw the excess, in order, from your oldest remaining Purchase Payment to your most recent Purchase Payment. Each time you make a withdrawal, we will follow this procedure until all of your Purchase Payments have been withdrawn. Once all Purchase Payments are withdrawn, the balance withdrawn (which would include the 0.15% credit described under “Mortality and Expense Risk Charge”) is considered to be earnings and is not subject to a withdrawal charge.

 

23


Table of Contents

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. Each Purchase Payment begins a new 7-year period and moves down the declining withdrawal charge scale as shown below at each Account Anniversary. If a Purchase Payment is withdrawn during the same Account Year as it was made, it will have an 8% withdrawal charge. On your next scheduled Account Anniversary, that Purchase Payment, along with any other Purchase Payments made during that same Account Year, will be considered to be in their second Account Year and will also have an 8% withdrawal charge. On the next Account Anniversary, these Purchase Payments will move into their third Account Year and will have a withdrawal charge of 7%. 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
Payment Has Been
In Your Account

  

Withdrawal
Charge

0 - 1    8%
1 - 2    8%
2 - 3    7%
3 - 4    6%
4 - 5    5%
5 - 6    4%
6 - 7    3%
7 or more    0%

The withdrawal charge will never be greater than 8% of an amount equal to your Account Value minus your “free withdrawal amount.” You may want to consider deferring a withdrawal because withdrawal charges decline the longer the Purchase Payment is held in your Account.

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 - WITHDRAWAL CHARGE CALCULATIONS.”

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 your Issue Date;

 

   

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 with evidence of confinement in the form we determine. To find out where the nursing home waiver is approved, you can call us at (877) 253-2323.

Table of Contents

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:

 

   

when you annuitize your Contract;

 

   

on amounts we pay as a death benefit;

 

   

on amounts you transfer among the Sub-Accounts; or

 

   

on any amounts transferred as part of an optional program.

CONTRACT CHARGES

Account Fee

During the Accumulation Phase of your Contract, we will deduct an annual Account Fee of $50 from your Account Value 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. We deduct the Account Fee pro-rata from each Sub-Account and each Fixed Account option, based on the allocation of your Account Value on your Account Anniversary.

We will not charge the Account Fee if your Account Value is $100,000 or more on your Account Anniversary.

If you make a full withdrawal of your Account Value, 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 $50 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 and Distribution Fee

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.

We also deduct a distribution fee from the assets of the Variable Account during both the Accumulation Phase and the Income Phase. During the Accumulation Phase, this fee is deducted at an annual effective rate equal to 0.15% of your average daily Variable Account Value. During the Income Phase, this fee is included as part of the total insurance charges deducted from Annuity Unit values. This charge is designed to reimburse us for the expenses associated with distributing and issuing the Contracts.

Depending on the amount of expenses that we incur, we expect that we may earn a profit from these charges. 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 1.05% of your average daily Variable Account Value.

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 the optional death benefit and any optional living benefits will exceed the amount of the charges we deduct for those optional benefits; and (4) the risk that the annual Account Fee, the administrative expense charge, and the distribution fee 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 such costs, 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.

During the Income Phase, we will deduct total insurance charges at an annual rate of 1.60% of your average daily Annuity Unit values. We will not deduct the mortality and expense risk charge; nor will we deduct the charges for any optional living benefit or the optional death benefit. The 1.60% charge, which includes an administrative expense charge and a distribution fee, compensates us for the risks and expenses associated with providing annuity payments during the Income Phase. The level of these total insurance charges (1.60%) is higher than the level of the total Variable Account annual expenses without optional benefits (maximum, 1.35%) deducted during the Accumulation Phase.

Charges for Optional Benefits

You may only elect one of the optional living benefits. If you elect an optional living benefit, we will deduct a fee from your Account Value on the last valuation day of each Account Quarter during the Accumulation Phase. The fee will be a percentage of the Withdrawal Benefit Base during the Account Year. (The Withdrawal Benefit Base is initially equal to your initial Purchase Payment, and thereafter is subject to certain adjustments.) (See “Withdrawal Benefit Base.”) The percentage rates that we use to determine these fees may change over time, but will not exceed the maximum annual rates shown in the following chart. The chart also shows the current annual rates for each optional living benefit. (For more information about this fee, please see “FEES AND EXPENSES.”)

Income Maximizer Plus

     1.25%        1.75%        1.45%        1.95%  

If you elect the MAV optional death benefit, during the Accumulation Phase, we will deduct a daily charge at an effective annual rate of 0.40% of your average daily Variable Account Value. For more information about this charge, please see “FEES AND EXPENSES.” For more information about the calculation of this charge, please see “Variable Accumulation Unit Value” under “Variable Account Value.”

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.

 

26


Table of Contents

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 and Restrictions

There are fees and expenses deducted from each Fund. These fees and expenses are described in the Fund prospectuses and related Statements of Additional Information.

Under certain circumstances, the board of directors of a government money market fund would have the discretion to impose a liquidity fee on redemptions from the money market fund and to implement a redemption gate that would temporarily suspend redemptions from the fund. We reserve the right to implement, administer and charge you for any such fee or restriction imposed by the fund.

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.

OPTIONAL LIVING BENEFITS

We offer a suite of optional living benefits that help protect your future income against market risk (that is, the risk that your investments may decline in value or underperform your expectations). Each living benefit provides lifetime income even if the Account Value declines to zero, provided that certain requirements are met. Note that, if your Account Value is reduced to zero prior to your Coverage Date (generally the Account Anniversary after you turn 59), then your Contract and your living benefit will end. This means that you could pay for a benefit that you never receive.

You may elect to participate in any one of the following optional living benefits (each, a “Living Benefit”):

 

   

Income Riser III (“SIR III”)

 

   

Income Maximizer (“SIM”)

 

   

Income Maximizer Plus (“SIM Plus”)

You can only elect one Living Benefit and that election must be made no later than the Issue Date. You will pay a fee for the Living Benefit that you elect. You may terminate a Living Benefit at any time. However, once terminated, a Living Benefit cannot be reinstated.

These Living Benefits are available only if you are 85 or younger on the Open Date. For SIM or SIM Plus all Contract Owners and Annuitants must be 21 or older on the Open Date. Important information about cost, restrictions, and availability of each Living Benefit is described more fully below. You should consult with tax and financial professionals to determine which of the Living Benefits is appropriate for you.

Living Benefits are designed to give you income for the rest of your life, regardless of investment performance. To determine the amount of lifetime income for which you are eligible, we consider two factors: your Withdrawal Benefit Base and your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage. First, we set your Withdrawal Benefit Base to equal your initial Purchase Payment. We then determine your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage, based on your age when you start taking withdrawals after your Coverage Date. The amount you can withdraw each Account Year equals your Annual Withdrawal Amount, which is your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage multiplied by your Withdrawal Benefit Base. A Living Benefit gives you the opportunity, through Bonuses, step-ups, the Plus Factor (SIM Plus only), and the 200% Benefit Enhancement (SIM and SIM Plus only), to increase your Withdrawal Benefit Base and, therefore, your Annual Withdrawal Amount. See “Key Terms” for a better understanding of the Living Benefits before reading about them in more detail later in this Prospectus.

Table of Contents

Key Terms

It is important to understand several key terms that are fundamental to the Living Benefits. These key terms are described in greater detail elsewhere in this Prospectus.

Annual Withdrawal Amount: an annual dollar amount calculated as a percentage of the Withdrawal Benefit Base beginning on the Coverage Date.

Bonus: an amount equal to 7% (for SIR III), and 8% (for SIM and SIM Plus only), of the Bonus Base credited to the Withdrawal Benefit Base in Account Years during the Bonus Period when no withdrawals are taken.

Bonus Base: the amount on which bonuses are calculated. The Bonus Base is set equal to your initial Purchase Payment, increased by any subsequent Purchase Payments and any “step-ups” (described below), and reduced proportionately by any Early Withdrawals and any Excess Withdrawals, and the One-Time Access Withdrawal (for SIM and SIM Plus only).

Bonus Period: a ten-year period beginning on the Issue Date and ending on your tenth Account Anniversary. For SIR III, this Bonus Period will renew at step-up. For SIM and SIM Plus, the Bonus Period is not renewable, and will end early if any withdrawal (other than the One-Time Access Withdrawal) is taken.

Coverage Date: your Issue Date if you are at least age 59; otherwise, the first Account Anniversary after you attain age 59. On this date, you will be eligible to begin receiving your Annual Withdrawal Amount, provided your Account Value is greater than zero.

Early Withdrawal: a withdrawal taken before the Coverage Date.

Excess Withdrawal: a withdrawal taken after the Coverage Date which, alone or when combined with any other withdrawals taken in the same Account Year, exceeds the Annual Withdrawal Amount (or, if greater, any required minimum distribution amount as defined under the Internal Revenue Code).

Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage: a percentage of the Withdrawal Benefit Base used to calculate the amount you can withdraw each Account Year. The percentage is determined based on your attained age at the time of your first withdrawal after the Coverage Date, unless the withdrawal is the One-Time Access Withdrawal (for SIM and SIM Plus only). Under each Living Benefit, a different Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage applies to specified age ranges. In all cases, the oldest age range corresponds to the highest percentage.

One-Time Access Withdrawal (for SIM and SIM Plus only): a withdrawal that will reduce your Withdrawal Benefit Base, your Bonus Base, and the amount eligible for the 200% Benefit Enhancement, but will not activate or lock-in your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage or end your Bonus Period.

Plus Factor (for SIM Plus only): an annual increase of 2.5% to the Withdrawal Benefit Base on each Account Anniversary after the Coverage Date that is initiated if you have taken a withdrawal other than a One-Time Access Withdrawal.

200% Benefit Enhancement (for SIM and SIM Plus only): an amount equal to the sum of 200% of the total Purchase Payments made in the first Account Year and 100% of Purchase Payments made on or after the first Account Anniversary. This sum is reduced proportionately by the One-Time Access Withdrawal, if taken.

Withdrawal Benefit Base: the amount used to calculate (i) your Annual Withdrawal Amount and (ii) the cost of your Living Benefit described below.

When discussing the Living Benefits, the terms “you” and “your” refer to the oldest living Participant under single-life coverage or the younger spouse under joint-life coverage. In the case of a non-natural Participant, these terms refer to the oldest living Annuitant.

Description of the Living Benefits

Each Living Benefit provides you with (i) a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit and (ii) an opportunity to increase the amount of that benefit each year, if you meet certain requirements. First, you must allocate 100% of your Account Value in designated investment choices that are designed to help manage our risk and to support the guarantees under

 

28


Table of Contents

the Living Benefit. Second, after your Coverage Date, you must limit your total withdrawals in each year that a Living Benefit is in effect to an amount no greater than the Annual Withdrawal Amount. Your Living Benefit is in effect beginning on the Issue Date and ending on the earlier of the Annuity Commencement Date or the termination of the Living Benefit. Of course, you can always withdraw an amount up to your Surrender Value pursuant to your rights under the Contract.

Each of the Living Benefits allows you to defer withdrawals during your early Account Years to increase your benefit in later years. SIM and SIM Plus also offer the ability to increase the Withdrawal Benefit Base (i) by making additional Purchase Payments after your first Account Anniversary and (ii) through the 200% Benefit Enhancement. In addition, SIM Plus offers the Plus Factor that provides an additional means to increase the Withdrawal Benefit Base. SIM and SIM Plus also permit a One-Time Access Withdrawal that can be taken before you begin taking your Annual Withdrawal Amount.

You may elect single-life coverage or, for a higher fee, joint-life coverage. Under the Living Benefits, once you make an election, you cannot switch between joint-life and single-life coverage regardless of any change in life events. Joint-life coverage:

 

  (i)

must be elected on the Issue Date and cannot be added later;

 

  (ii)

is available on an individually-owned Contract only if the spouse is the sole primary beneficiary under the Contract while the Living Benefit is in effect;

 

  (iii)

is available on a co-owned Contract only if the spouses are the only co-owners while the Living Benefit is in effect; and

 

  (iv)

is not available if you are unmarried on the Issue Date.

If you are in a same-sex marriage, see “Definition of Spouse Under Federal Law” under “TAX PROVISIONS.”

With joint-life coverage, the age of the person who was the younger spouse on the Issue Date determines when you can begin to receive your Living Benefit. Your Coverage Date will be the Issue Date provided that person is age 59. If that person is younger than age 59, your Coverage Date will be the Account Anniversary after he or she attains (or would have attained) age 59. It does not matter whether the person who was the spouse is still alive or whether you are still married to that person. The Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage is based on the age the younger spouse is (or would have been) on the date of the first withdrawal under the Contract after the Coverage Date. The Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage may be reset to a higher percentage in the event of a step-up.

Please note: Whereas withdrawals of the Annual Withdrawal Amount under single-life coverage end when any Participant dies, withdrawals of the Annual Withdrawal Amount under joint-life coverage continue as long as either you or your spouse is alive. To take the Annual Withdrawal Amount after the death of a spouse under joint-life coverage, however, the surviving spouse must first elect to continue the Contract through spousal continuation. (See “Death of Participant - Joint-Life Coverage.”)

Important Considerations

Optional living benefits may not be appropriate for all investors. Before purchasing a Living Benefit, you should carefully consider the following:

1. The frequency and amount of withdrawals you anticipate.

 

   

You should not purchase a Living Benefit if you plan to take Early or Excess Withdrawals, because such withdrawals may significantly reduce or eliminate the value of the guarantees provided by the Living Benefit.

 

   

Because the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit under each Living Benefit is accessed through regular withdrawals that do not exceed the Annual Withdrawal Amount, such an optional living benefit may not be appropriate for you if you do not foresee a need for frequent withdrawals and your primary objective is to take maximum advantage of the tax deferral aspect of the Contract.

 

   

The timing and amount of your withdrawals may significantly decrease, and even terminate, your benefits under a Living Benefit. For example, if your Account Value is reduced to zero immediately following an Early Withdrawal, Excess Withdrawal, or the One-Time Access Withdrawal, then your Withdrawal Benefit Base will also be reduced to zero and your Contract will terminate without value and, thereafter, no Annual Withdrawal Amount will be paid.

 

   

Early and Excess Withdrawals may decrease the Withdrawal Benefit Base, the Bonus Base, and the 200% Benefit Enhancement by more than the amount withdrawn.

 

   

You should carefully consider when to begin making withdrawals, because you may not start at the most financially beneficial time for you. For example, by waiting to take withdrawals, you will have a greater opportunity to increase your Annual Withdrawal Amount, but you will have less time to take withdrawals.

 

   

Withdrawals taken in connection with a Living Benefit also:

 

   

reduce your Account Value;

 

   

reduce your death benefit under the Contract, including any optional death benefit;

 

 

33


Table of Contents
   

may be subject to withdrawal charges; and

 

   

may be subject to income taxes and federal tax penalties (e.g., if taken before age 5912).

2. Your investment objectives.

 

   

Your entire Account Value must be allocated to a limited number of specified Funds.

 

   

Any investment in or transfer to a Fund that is not a Designated Fund, or that falls outside the allocation ranges for the Build Your Own Portfolio model, will terminate your Living Benefit.

You should consult your financial adviser to assist you in determining which investment options may be best suited for your financial needs and risk tolerance.

3. The cost of the Living Benefit.

 

   

You will begin paying the fee for the Living Benefit as of the Issue Date, even if you do not begin taking withdrawals for many years, or ever.

 

   

The percentage rate used to calculate the fee may increase or decrease over time, but will not exceed the maximum annual rate shown in the fee table. (See “Costs of Living Benefits.”)

 

   

We will not refund the fees that you have paid for the Living Benefit.

4. The impact of tax regulations.

 

   

The tax rules for Qualified Contracts may limit the value of a Living Benefit. You should consult a qualified tax professional before electing a Living Benefit for a Qualified Policy.

 

   

You may not elect a Living Benefit with an Inherited Non-Qualified or Beneficiary IRA Contract.

 

   

You may only withdraw your annual required minimum distribution (“RMD”) allowed under the Internal Revenue Code once during any given Account Year.

 

   

For SIM and SIM Plus, any withdrawals taken (including RMDs) will end the Bonus Period and the 200% Benefit Enhancement unless your withdrawal is your One-Time Access Withdrawal.

5. Whether joint-life coverage or single-life coverage is appropriate for you.

 

   

With joint-life coverage, all benefits are based on the age of the younger spouse.

 

   

If your spouse is significantly younger or older than you, you should carefully consider whether joint-life coverage is an appropriate choice in light of the possible long waiting period to begin annual withdrawals and to become eligible for the 200% Benefit Enhancement (for SIM or SIM Plus only), the longer period during which your Account Value could be reduced to zero prior to the Coverage Date, and the higher fee for joint-life coverage.

 

   

Single-life coverage may not be an appropriate choice on a co-owned Contract because the Living Benefit will end on the death of any Participant.

 

   

Once you elect joint-life coverage, you or your spouse will always pay the higher joint-life fee.

 

   

If your spouse (as of the Issue Date) is no longer your spouse or no longer the sole primary beneficiary under the Contract, then coverage will continue until the death of a Participant. If a Participant remarries, the new spouse is not covered under the joint-life feature.

 

   

If you are in a same-sex marriage, see “Definition of Spouse Under Federal Law” under “TAX PROVISIONS.”

6. The amount and frequency of Purchase Payments.

 

   

After your Issue Date, we may limit the amount and timing of Purchase Payments that you can make.

 

 

34


Table of Contents
   

For SIR III you cannot make Purchase Payments after your first Account Anniversary. Consequently, SIR III may not be appropriate if you are actively invested in a contributory plan.

 

   

For SIM and SIM Plus, you can make additional Purchase Payments at any time. However, any Purchase Payments after the first Account Anniversary will be limited to $50,000 during any Account Year, without our prior approval. We reserve the right not to accept any additional Purchase Payments under SIM and SIM Plus.

 

   

For SIM and SIM Plus, under the 200% Benefit Enhancement, any Purchase Payments made after the first Account Anniversary receive a lower benefit than Purchase Payments made during your first Account Year. (See “200% Benefit Enhancement.”)

 

   

For SIM and SIM Plus, because the Bonus Period ends on your tenth Account Anniversary, any Purchase Payment made after the first Account Anniversary will only be eligible for a Bonus for any years remaining in the Bonus Period.

7. What happens if your Account Value is reduced to zero.

 

   

If your Account Value is reduced to zero before your Coverage Date, the Account Anniversary following the 59th birthday of the older spouse under single-life coverage (the younger spouse under joint-life coverage), then no Annual Withdrawal Amount will be available, and your Contract, including your Living Benefit, will end. This is true even if no withdrawals had been taken and the Account Value fell to zero as a result of poor investment performance, as well as the deduction of Contract fees and charges.

 

   

If your Account Value is reduced to zero after your Coverage Date, for any reason other than immediately following an Excess Withdrawal or the One-Time Access Withdrawal, then your Contract, including your Living Benefit, will end, except that payments of the Annual Withdrawal Amount (calculated on the following Account Anniversary), increased by the Plus Factor if applicable, will continue to be paid to the Participant for the rest of his/her life. This is true even if your Account Value falls to zero through any combination of (i) poor investment performance, (ii) the deduction of Contract fees and charges, as well as (iii) taking your Annual Withdrawal Amount.

 

   

If your Account Value is reduced to zero immediately following an Early Withdrawal, Excess Withdrawal, or the One-Time Access Withdrawal, then your Contract, including your Living Benefit, will terminate, and no future Annual Withdrawal Amounts will be available.

See “APPENDIX E - OPTIONAL LIVING BENEFIT EXAMPLES” for examples showing how the features of these Living Benefits work.

Withdrawal Benefit Base

We use the Withdrawal Benefit Base to calculate the Annual Withdrawal Amount. On the Issue Date, we set your Withdrawal Benefit Base equal to your initial Purchase Payment. Thereafter, your Withdrawal Benefit Base is:

 

   

increased by any subsequent Purchase Payments;

 

   

increased by any applicable Bonuses;

 

   

increased by any step-ups;

 

   

increased by the 200% Benefit Enhancement (SIM and SIM Plus only);

 

   

increased by the Plus Factor (SIM Plus only);

 

   

decreased by any Early and Excess Withdrawals; and

 

   

decreased by the One-Time Access Withdrawal (SIM and SIM Plus only).

 

35


Table of Contents

The maximum Withdrawal Benefit Base permitted upon any step-up is $5 million for SIR III. After including any step-ups, Bonuses, 200% Benefit Enhancement, and the Plus Factor, the maximum Withdrawal Benefit Base permitted is $10 million for SIM and SIM Plus. (For the purposes of determining these maximum limits, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to aggregate the benefit bases of all variable annuity contracts with living benefits that you own and that are issued by Delaware Life Insurance Company or its affiliates.)

Please note:

 

   

We use the Withdrawal Benefit Base to calculate the Annual Withdrawal Amount as well as the fee for your Living Benefit.

 

   

Your Withdrawal Benefit Base is not a cash value, a Surrender Value, or a death benefit. It is not available for withdrawal, it is not a minimum return for any Sub-Account, and it is not a guarantee of Account Value.

Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage

We use the Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage to calculate the Annual Withdrawal Amount. The Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage is determined based on:

 

   

your age at the time of the first withdrawal taken after the Coverage Date; or

 

   

if joint-life coverage is selected, the age of the younger spouse at the time of the first withdrawal taken after the Coverage Date.

 

Age at time of
first withdrawal

   Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage -
Single-Life and Joint-Life Coverage
     SIR III and SIM   SIM Plus
< 59    0%   0%
59 - 64    4%   3%
65 - 79    5%   4%
80 +    6%   5%

Please note: Once established, the Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage will not increase even though your age increases, except in certain circumstances involving step-ups. (See “Step-Up.”)

Annual Withdrawal Amount

Beginning on the Coverage Date, you can withdraw up to the Annual Withdrawal Amount from your Contract in any Account Year without reducing your Withdrawal Benefit Base. The Annual Withdrawal Amount is determined by multiplying the Withdrawal Benefit Base by the Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage (shown in the chart above), based on your age at the time of first withdrawal (other than the One-Time Access Withdrawal) after the Coverage Date. Your Annual Withdrawal Amount is recalculated on your Account Anniversary based upon the increases or decreases to the Withdrawal Benefit Base that occurred during the previous Account Year.

A Purchase Payment will increase your Withdrawal Benefit Base and your Annual Withdrawal Amount will immediately be recalculated. All other increases to the Withdrawal Benefit Base will occur on your next Account Anniversary and result in a new Annual Withdrawal Amount at that time. If an Excess Withdrawal has been taken, your available Annual Withdrawal Amount will be zero for the remainder of that Account Year. On your next Account Anniversary, a new Annual Withdrawal Amount will be calculated, based on your then current Withdrawal Benefit Base. If your Account Value has been reduced to zero immediately following an Excess Withdrawal, your Contract, including your Living Benefit, will end.

Your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage will increase if your age at the time of step-up coincides with a higher percentage (shown in the chart above).

For further information regarding the impacts of taking your Annual Withdrawal Amount please see “Tax Issues Under the Living Benefits” and “TAX PROVISIONS.”

If the Living Benefit is elected before your Coverage Date, then you will still be assessed a fee for the Living Benefit, even though the Annual Withdrawal Amount will be zero until the Coverage Date.

 

   

Your Annual Withdrawal Amount is not cumulative. This means that if you do not take the entire Annual Withdrawal Amount during an Account Year, then you cannot take more than the Annual Withdrawal Amount in the next Account Year and maintain the Living Benefit’s guarantees.

Bonus and Bonus Base

If you make no withdrawals in an Account Year during the Bonus Period, then, on each Account Anniversary during the Bonus Period, we will increase your Withdrawal Benefit Base by an amount equal to 7% of the Bonus Base (under SIR III), and 8% of the Bonus Base (under SIM and SIM Plus). The Bonus Period is a ten-year period beginning on the Issue Date and ending on your tenth Account Anniversary. If you step-up SIR III during the Bonus Period, the Bonus Period is renewed for ten years from the date of the step-up. For SIM and SIM Plus, the Bonus Period is not renewable, and will end early if any withdrawal is taken (other than the One-Time Access Withdrawal).

We use the Bonus Base to calculate the Bonus. We set the initial Bonus Base to equal the initial Purchase Payment at issue. The Bonus Base will be increased by any subsequent Purchase Payments and any step-ups. The Bonus Base will be decreased by any Early Withdrawals, Excess Withdrawals, or the One-Time Access Withdrawal.

Please note:

 

   

Under SIR III:

 

   

A Bonus will not be applied during your Bonus Period in any Account Year in which you take a withdrawal.

 

   

Early and Excess Withdrawals will reduce the Bonus Base. (See “Impact of Withdrawals.”)

 

   

Under SIM and SIM Plus:

 

   

Any withdrawal (other than the One-Time Access Withdrawal) will end your Bonus Period and eliminate your Bonus Base.

 

   

A One-Time Access Withdrawal will reduce the Bonus Base. (See “Impact of Withdrawals.”)

200% Benefit Enhancement (SIM and SIM Plus only)

If no withdrawals, other than the One-Time Access Withdrawal, are taken from the Contract, then your Withdrawal Benefit Base will increase to an amount equal to the amount of the 200% Benefit Enhancement on the latest of:

 

   

the 10th Account Anniversary,

 

   

the Account Anniversary following your 70th birthday, or

 

   

the Account Anniversary following the 70th birthday of the younger spouse, if joint-life is elected.

On this date, we will set your Withdrawal Benefit Base to equal the greater of:

 

   

the current Withdrawal Benefit Base, or

 

   

the 200% Benefit Enhancement.

The 200% Benefit Enhancement equals the sum of (1), (2), and (3), below:

 

  (1)

200% of the initial Purchase Payment,

 

  (2)

200% of any additional Purchase Payments made before and including the first Account Anniversary, and

 

  (3)

100% of additional Purchase Payments made after the first Account Anniversary.

 

37


Table of Contents

If the One-Time Access Withdrawal is taken, the amount of the 200% Benefit Enhancement will be reduced in the same proportion as the amount withdrawn reduces the Account Value. The One-Time Access Withdrawal will not eliminate the 200% Benefit Enhancement.

Please note:

 

   

If any withdrawal, other than the One-Time Access Withdrawal, is taken from the Contract, then you will not be eligible for the 200% Benefit Enhancement or any future Bonuses.

 

   

This benefit may increase your Withdrawal Benefit Base when investment performance is neutral or negative.

 

   

If, as a result of positive investment performance, your Withdrawal Benefit Base is greater than your 200% Benefit Enhancement, then you would not need or receive the 200% Benefit Enhancement because your actual performance is greater than the guarantee provided by the 200% Benefit Enhancement.

 

   

Purchase Payments made after the first Account Anniversary will not provide any additional benefit to the 200% Benefit Enhancement. This is because the additional amount added to the 200% Benefit Enhancement is equal to 100% of Purchase Payments made after the first Account Anniversary. When adding Purchase Payments after the first Account Year, the same increase is made to the Withdrawal Benefit Base and, consequently, the additional Purchase Payment will not provide any greater benefit under the 200% Benefit Enhancement.

 

   

The maximum Withdrawal Benefit Base permitted for SIM and SIM Plus is $10 million.

 

   

If you are participating in SIR III, the 200% Benefit Enhancement is not available to you.

Step-Up

The step-up feature available with the Living Benefit gives you an opportunity to grow your Withdrawal Benefit Base.

 

   

On each Account Anniversary during the Bonus Period and before your Annuity Commencement Date:

 

   

If your Account Value exceeds your current Withdrawal Benefit Base, adjusted for any applicable Bonus, we will automatically increase your Withdrawal Benefit Base and Bonus Base to an amount equal to your Account Value.

 

   

If your Account Value is less than your current Withdrawal Benefit Base, adjusted for any applicable Bonus, you will receive the Bonus, instead of a step-up.

 

   

On each Account Anniversary after the Bonus Period and before your Annuity Commencement Date, if your Account Value exceeds your current Withdrawal Benefit Base, increased by the Plus Factor, if any, we will automatically increase your Withdrawal Benefit Base to an amount equal to your Account Value.

Please note: The Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage will increase if you have crossed into another age tier at the time of the step-up (we refer to this as “step-through”). For example, if you are age 79 (in the 65-79 age tier) when you make your first withdrawal, and you are age 80 at the time of the automatic step-up of your Withdrawal Benefit Base, then your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage will increase to the level for the 80+ age tier. (See the chart under “Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage.”)

Plus Factor (SIM Plus only)

After the Coverage Date and if you have taken a withdrawal (other than a One-Time Access Withdrawal), the Plus Factor will be initiated. On each Account Anniversary thereafter, we will automatically increase your Withdrawal Benefit Base by 2.5%, unless a step-up would result in a greater Withdrawal Benefit Base.

Please note:

 

   

A 2.5% Plus Factor increase could prevent a step-up to a higher Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage (referred to as a step-through).

 

38


Table of Contents
   

If you take an Excess Withdrawal in any Account Year, you will forfeit the Plus Factor for that Account Year.

 

   

If your Account Value is reduced to zero immediately following an Excess Withdrawal, then no Annual Withdrawal Amount will be available. The Contract, including your Living Benefit and the Plus Factor, will end.

 

   

If your Account Value is reduced to zero for any reason, other than immediately following an Excess Withdrawal (or One-Time Access Withdrawal), then the Contract, including your Living Benefit, will end, except that payments of the Annual Withdrawal Amount, increased by the Plus Factor if applicable, will continue to be paid to the Participant for the rest of his/her life.

 

   

If you are participating in SIR III or SIM, the Plus Factor is not available to you.

Impact of Withdrawals

Starting on your Coverage Date and continuing to your Annuity Commencement Date, you may take partial withdrawals up to your Annual Withdrawal Amount each Account Year without reducing your Withdrawal Benefit Base or Bonus Base. These withdrawals will, however, reduce your Account Value by the amount of the withdrawal (and, consequently, the amount of your death benefit proportionately). In addition, these withdrawals are subject to withdrawal charges to the extent that they exceed the greatest of: (i) the free withdrawal amount permitted under your Contract (see “Free Withdrawal Amount”); (ii) your “yearly RMD amount” (subject to conditions discussed in “Tax Issues Under Living Benefits,”); and (iii) your Annual Withdrawal Amount.

Early Withdrawals

Withdrawals taken before your Coverage Date, referred to as “Early Withdrawals,” will reduce your Withdrawal Benefit Base and any Bonus Base according to the following formulas.

 

Your New Withdrawal Benefit Base

     =        WBB x        (             AV - WD              )  
  AV
 

Your New Bonus Base

     =        BB x        (             AV - WD              )  
  AV

 

Where:       
  WBB   =    your Withdrawal Benefit Base immediately before the Early Withdrawal.
  BB   =    your Bonus Base immediately before the Early Withdrawal.
  WD   =    the amount of the Early Withdrawal.
  AV   =    your Account Value immediately before the Early Withdrawal.

Under SIM and SIM Plus, your first withdrawal, if taken before the Coverage Date, will be deemed the One-Time Access Withdrawal. (See “One-Time Access Withdrawal.”) For Early Withdrawals, the Withdrawal Benefit Base and the Bonus Base are both reduced proportionally by the full amount of the withdrawal.

Excess Withdrawals

After the Coverage Date, any partial withdrawal that, when taken alone or in combination with all other withdrawals taken in the same Account Year, exceeds the Annual Withdrawal Amount is referred to as an “Excess Withdrawal.” An

 

39


Table of Contents

Excess Withdrawal will reduce your Withdrawal Benefit Base and any Bonus Base according to the following formulas.

 

Your New Withdrawal Benefit Base

     =        WBB x        (             AV - WD              )  
  AV - AWA
 

Your New Bonus Base

     =        BB x        (             AV - WD              )  
  AV - AWA

 

Where:       
  WBB   =    your Withdrawal Benefit Base immediately before the Excess Withdrawal.
  BB   =    your Bonus Base immediately before the Excess Withdrawal.
  WD   =    the amount of the Excess Withdrawal.
  AV   =    your Account Value immediately before the Excess Withdrawal.
  AWA   =    your Annual Withdrawal Amount minus any prior partial withdrawals taken during the current Account Year.

If you take an Excess Withdrawal, the Withdrawal Benefit Base and the Bonus Base are both reduced proportionally by the amount of the withdrawal in excess of the Annual Withdrawal Amount.

One-Time Access Withdrawal (SIM and SIM Plus only)

You may take your first withdrawal as the One-Time Access Withdrawal. Before the Coverage Date, your first withdrawal will automatically be your One-Time Access Withdrawal. After your Coverage Date, when you make your first withdrawal, you have the option of electing to use the One-Time Access Withdrawal.

The One-Time Access Withdrawal differs from other withdrawals in that:

 

   

It will not end the 200% Benefit Enhancement, but will reduce the eligible amount based on the following formula:

 

Your new 200% Benefit Enhancement

     =        BE x        (             AV - WD              )  
  AV

 

Where:       
  BE   =    the 200% Benefit Enhancement immediately before the One-Time Access Withdrawal.
  WD   =    the total amount of the One-Time Access Withdrawal.
  AV   =    the Account Value immediately before the One-Time Access Withdrawal.

 

   

It will reduce the Withdrawal Benefit Base and Bonus Base in the same manner as an Early Withdrawal. (See “Early Withdrawals.”)

 

   

If taken during the Bonus Period, then it will cause the Bonus for that Account Year to be forfeited, but will not end the Bonus Period.

 

   

If taken after the Coverage Date, then it will not lock in the Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage used to calculate the Annual Withdrawal Amount or initiate the Plus Factor for SIM Plus.

If you take a withdrawal after the Coverage Date and do not elect to use the One-Time Access Withdrawal then:

 

   

we will lock in the Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage;

 

   

you may begin to take your Annual Withdrawal Amount;

 

40


Table of Contents
   

you will be eligible to receive any applicable Plus Factors under SIM Plus;

 

   

you will forfeit the One-Time Access Withdrawal benefit;

 

   

the Bonus Period ends; and

 

   

you will forfeit the 200% Benefit Enhancement.

If you are participating in SIR III, then the One-Time Access Withdrawal is not available to you.

Please Note: In regard to Early and Excess Withdrawals and the One-Time Access Withdrawal:

 

   

The above calculations show proportionate reductions. Generally speaking:

 

   

If your Account Value is greater than your Withdrawal Benefit Base, the reduction to your Withdrawal Benefit Base will be less than the amount withdrawn.

 

   

If your Account Value is less than your Withdrawal Benefit Base, the reduction to your Withdrawal Benefit Base will be more than the amount withdrawn.

 

   

Subsequent withdrawals taken after the One-Time Access Withdrawal will be treated as described in “Annual Withdrawal Amount,” “Early Withdrawals,” and “Excess Withdrawals.”

 

   

A withdrawal that does not exceed the Annual Withdrawal Amount may nevertheless affect the Bonus Period and step-ups. If you elect SIM or SIM Plus, then any withdrawal, except the One-Time Access Withdrawal, will result in the forfeiture of the 200% Benefit Enhancement and end the Bonus Period. Under SIM Plus, you will forfeit the Plus Factor for that Account Year if you take an Excess Withdrawal.

 

   

In addition, these withdrawals are subject to withdrawal charges to the extent they exceed the greatest of:

 

   

the free withdrawal amount permitted under your Contract;

 

   

your yearly RMD amount for your Contract; and

 

   

your Annual Withdrawal Amount.

 

   

Early Withdrawals, Excess Withdrawals, and the One-Time Access Withdrawal could severely reduce, and even terminate, your Living Benefit, and could reduce your Account Value to zero, thereby terminating your Contract without value.

 

   

In addition to reducing your Living Benefit, any withdrawal taken before you reach age 5912 could have adverse state and federal tax liabilities. You should consult a qualified tax professional for more information.

 

   

We do not monitor for Excess Withdrawals. Accordingly, if you take regular or scheduled withdrawals, you should carefully monitor your withdrawals to be certain they are not in excess of your Annual Withdrawal Amount.

 

   

The One-Time Access Withdrawal is only available at the time of your first partial withdrawal request and cannot be used in connection with any systematic withdrawal program available under your Contract.

 

   

The One-Time Access Withdrawal is not available for a withdrawal made as part of an exchange under Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) or as part of a transfer or rollover to an eligible retirement plan offered by another insurance company.

Costs of Living Benefits

If you select a Living Benefit, then we will deduct a fee from your Account Value on the last valuation day of each Account Quarter. The fee is a percentage of your Withdrawal Benefit Base and differs for single-life and joint-life coverage. The percentage rate may increase or decrease over time, but will not exceed the Maximum Annual Rates

shown in the table below. If we change the rate, then you may elect to cancel your Living Benefit and no longer pay the fee.

Please note: Because the fee for the benefit is a percentage of your Withdrawal Benefit Base:

 

   

Your total annual fee is the sum of four quarterly fees and could be a much higher percentage of your Account Value than of your Withdrawal Benefit Base. The maximum annual fee is the maximum annual rate multiplied by the highest quarterly Withdrawal Benefit Base during that Account Year.

 

   

Your fee will increase as your Withdrawal Benefit Base increases (although the rate used to calculate the fee may remain the same).

Cancellation of Living Benefits

Should you decide that the Living Benefit is no longer appropriate for you, you may cancel it at any time.

We will terminate a Living Benefit upon the earliest of the following:

 

   

receipt, in Good Order, at our Service Address, of your written request to cancel the Living Benefit;

 

   

change of ownership of a Contract, unless you have received our prior approval to change the ownership;

 

   

death of a Participant (with single-life coverage);

 

   

death of a Participant with joint-life coverage, if the spouses on the Issue Date are no longer spouses or no longer sole primary beneficiaries;

 

   

annuitization;

 

   

termination/full surrender of the Contract;

 

   

the Withdrawal Benefit Base is reduced to zero as a result of Early or Excess Withdrawals, or the One-Time Access Withdrawal (for SIM and SIM Plus only);

 

   

if the Account Value is reduced to zero prior to the Coverage Date, for any reason;

 

   

any investment in or transfer to a Fund that is not a Designated Fund; or

 

   

any investment in or transfer that is outside the allocation ranges for the Build Your Own Portfolio model.

Upon termination, all benefits and fees associated with a Living Benefit will cease. Once terminated, your Living Benefit cannot be reinstated.

Death of Participant - Single-Life Coverage

If you selected single-life coverage, then the Living Benefit ends on the death of any Participant and the Beneficiary may elect to exercise any of the available options under the Death Benefit provisions of the Contract. If your surviving spouse is the sole primary Beneficiary, he or she may elect to continue the Contract, but the Living Benefit will terminate and no optional living benefit will be available to your surviving spouse.

 

42


Table of Contents

Please note:

 

   

Single-life coverage may be inappropriate on a co-owned Contract because the Living Benefit will end on the death of any Participant.

 

   

Beneficiaries who are not spouses cannot continue the Contract (see “Spousal Continuance” under “DEATH BENEFIT”) or any Living Benefit under the Contract. Co-owners who are not spouses should, therefore, discuss with their financial adviser whether a Living Benefit is appropriate for them. Also, if you are in a same-sex marriage, see “Definition of Spouse Under Federal Law” under “TAX PROVISIONS.”

Death of Participant - Joint-Life Coverage

If the surviving spouse on the Death Benefit Date was not the spouse of a Participant on the original Contract’s Issue Date, then this section does not apply, even if joint-life coverage was elected. In such case, if a Participant dies while participating in a Living Benefit, the provisions of the section titled “Death of Participant - Single-Life Coverage” will apply.

If you purchased joint-life coverage and one of the Participants dies, then the surviving spouse, as the sole primary beneficiary, can elect to continue the Contract and all currently-held benefits will continue to the surviving spouse. In such case, the Account Value will be equal to the Death Benefit. If you are in a same-sex marriage, see “Definition of Spouse Under Federal Law” under “TAX PROVISIONS.”

Alternatively, the surviving spouse may elect any available option under the death benefit provisions of the Contract. In such case, the Contract, including any applicable Living Benefit, will end.

Annuitization Under the Living Benefits

If your Account Value is greater than zero on your Maximum Annuity Commencement Date, then you must elect to:

 

   

surrender your Contract and receive your Surrender Value,

 

   

annuitize your Account Value under one of the then currently available Annuity Options, or

 

   

annuitize your remaining Account Value as a single-life annuity (or a joint-life annuity, if joint-life coverage was elected on the Issue Date and is still eligible) with an annualized annuity payment of not less than your then current Annual Withdrawal Amount increased by the Plus Factor, if applicable. If you make no election, we will default your choice to this option.

If you elect to annuitize prior to your Maximum Annuity Commencement Date, then your Contract and any Living Benefit will end.

Tax Issues Under the Living Benefits

Certain state and federal tax provisions may be important to you in connection with a living benefit. If your Contract is a Non-Qualified Contract, it is possible that the election of optional living benefits, such as the Living Benefits, might increase the taxable portion of any withdrawal you make from the Contract. It is not clear whether withdrawals after the Coverage Date while the Contract value is greater than zero will be taxed as withdrawals or as annuity payments. This is significant for Non-Qualified Contracts because withdrawals are taxed less favorably than are annuity payments. In view of this uncertainty, we intend to adopt a conservative approach and treat such payments as withdrawals for tax purposes. We intend to treat payments pursuant to a Living Benefit after the Contract value becomes zero as annuity payments for tax purposes.

You may not elect a Living Benefit with an inherited Non-Qualified Contract or beneficiary IRA Contract.

 

43


Table of Contents

If your Contract is a Qualified Contract, then the retirement plan governing that Qualified Contract may be subject to certain required minimum distribution (RMD) provisions imposed by the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) regulations (collectively, the “Federal Tax Laws”). These RMD provisions require that an amount be distributed from the retirement plan each year, beginning generally in the calendar year in which you attain age 7012. Your failure to withdraw your yearly RMD amount from your retirement plan could result in adverse tax treatment. Because for certain retirement plans we do not know what assets are held by the plan, we have assumed for all plans that the Qualified Contract (i.e., your Contract) is the only asset, and we determine a yearly RMD amount taking into account only your Contract (“Yearly RMD Amount”).

When you elect to participate in a Living Benefit, we will inform you that you may withdraw amounts up to your Yearly RMD Amount each year without reducing your Withdrawal Benefit Base. To assist you in complying with the RMD requirements, in January of each year, we will notify you of your calculated Yearly RMD Amount and inform you that you may withdraw amounts up to your Yearly RMD Amount each Account Year without reducing your Withdrawal Benefit Base. Please note: For SIM and SIM Plus, if you withdraw your yearly RMD amount, that withdrawal will end the Bonus Period and the 200% Benefit Enhancement.

To the extent that the Yearly RMD Amount attributable to your Contract exceeds the Annual Withdrawal Amount permitted each year under your Living Benefit, we currently are waiving withdrawal provisions as follows. If you withdraw all or a portion of your Qualified Contract’s Yearly RMD Amount from the Contract while participating in a Living Benefit, then we will reduce your Account Value dollar-for-dollar by the amount of the withdrawal. In addition, for that year only, your Annual Withdrawal Amount under the Living Benefit will be reduced, dollar-for-dollar, by the amount of the withdrawal. We will not, however, penalize you if the current Federal Tax Laws require you to withdraw from your Contract an amount greater than your Annual Withdrawal Amount. In other words, we will not reduce your Annual Withdrawal Amount for future years (or your Withdrawal Benefit Base or Bonus Base), if a Yearly RMD Amount exceeds your Annual Withdrawal Amount, provided that:

 

   

you withdraw your (Qualified) Contract’s first Yearly RMD Amount in the calendar year you attain age 7012, rather than postponing the withdrawal of that amount until the first quarter of the next calendar year, and

 

   

you do not make any withdrawal from your (Qualified) Contract that would result in your receiving, in any Account Year, more than one calendar year’s Yearly RMD Amount.

Currently, any withdrawal in excess of the Annual Withdrawal Amount that is taken to satisfy the Yearly RMD Amounts will not be treated as an Excess Withdrawal. However, if there is any material change to the current Code or IRS Rules governing the timing or determination of required minimum distribution amounts, then the Company reserves the right to treat any withdrawal greater than the Annual Withdrawal Amount as an Excess Withdrawal which may significantly reduce the Withdrawal Benefit Base.

For a further discussion of some of these provisions, please refer to “Impact of Optional Death Benefit and Optional Living Benefits” under “TAX PROVISIONS.”

DESIGNATED FUNDS

To participate in a Living Benefit, all of your Account Value must be invested only in Designated Funds at all times during the term of your optional living benefit.

For Contracts participating in SIM or SIM Plus, the only Funds, dollar-cost averaging programs, and asset allocation models that currently qualify as Designated Funds are as follows:

 

Asset Allocation Model

  

Funds

Build Your Own Portfolio   

MFS® Conservative Allocation Portfolio, Service Class

  

MFS® Global Tactical Allocation Portfolio, Service Class

Dollar-Cost Averaging Program Options

    
6-Month DCA Period   
12-Month DCA Period   

For Contracts participating in SIR III, the only Funds, dollar-cost averaging program options, and asset allocation models that currently qualify as Designated Funds are as follows:

 

Asset Allocation Models

  

Funds

Build Your Own Portfolio   

AB Dynamic Asset Allocation Portfolio, Class B

6-Month DCA Period   

PIMCO All Asset Portfolio, Advisor Class

12-Month DCA Period   

PIMCO Global Multi-Asset Managed Allocation Portfolio, Advisor Class

  

Putnam VT Multi-Asset Absolute Return Fund, Class IB

One of the asset allocation models that qualifies as a Designated Fund is the portfolio model that applies to our “build your own portfolio” program. That portfolio model and the “build your own portfolio” program are described in “BUILD YOUR OWN PORTFOLIO” and in “APPENDIX F - BUILD YOUR OWN PORTFOLIO.”

If you elected to participate in Income Riser III (“SIR III”), Income Maximizer (“SIM”), or Income Maximizer Plus (“SIM Plus”) and are invested in more than one Designated Fund, we will automatically transfer assets among your Designated Funds to maintain the percentage allocation you selected. We will make these transfers on a quarterly basis.

We reserve the right to declare that a particular Fund no longer qualifies as a Designated Fund. Written notice will be provided to Contract Owners whenever a fund is no longer considered to be a Designated Fund. If you are invested in a Designated Fund at the time we declare the Fund to no longer be a Designated Fund, your Account Value can remain in that Fund without canceling your participation in a Living Benefit. However, any transfers or future Purchase Payments may only be allocated to a Fund that is declared by us to be a Designated Fund at the time of the transaction. If you are invested in a Fund that has been declared by us to no longer be a Designated Fund, you must first transfer your Account Value from that Fund into one or more of the current Designated Fund(s) if you want to make subsequent Purchase Payments or any additional transfers. (Note that this restriction does not apply to automatic portfolio rebalancing. Likewise, if you are participating in a DCA program and one of the funds receiving transfers under the DCA program is declared no longer to be a Designated Fund, then your Account Value can remain invested in that Fund until the end of your DCA Period. However, before you make any subsequent Purchase Payments, you must first transfer all your Account Value from that Fund into one or more of the current Designated Funds and provide us with new allocation instructions for your DCA program.) We also reserve the right to close Funds only to new Contracts. We will, however, revise the Prospectus to give notice to prospective investors of the closing of any

 

45


Table of Contents

Fund. If a Designated Fund is closed only to new Contracts, any current Account Value may remain in that Fund and future transfers and Purchase Payments to that Fund are permissible, as long as the Fund is still declared by us to be a Designated Fund.

Note that on SIR III, SIM, and SIM Plus, we have reserved the right to allow step-ups only if your Account Value is invested in a Fund that has been declared by us to be a Designated Fund. In such case, if you are invested in a Fund that has been declared by us to no longer be a Designated Fund, you will have to transfer into a current Designated Fund before a step-up can occur. If you decide not to transfer into a current Designated Fund and forgo step-up, then your Living Benefit will continue with all of the benefits except for step-up.

BUILD YOUR OWN PORTFOLIO

Among the choices of Designated Funds is a selection of funds (“portfolio model”) that you design yourself using certain broad guidelines that we provide. To “build your own portfolio,” you pick funds from the asset classes available at that time. Altogether you may not choose more than 18 funds for your portfolio model. The amount you may invest in each asset class is determined by a percentage range that we provide for each asset class. The sum of the percentages you invest in the asset classes altogether must total 100%. A chart showing the Funds available in each asset class and the percentage range assigned to each asset class is included in Appendix F.

You may transfer funds within the asset classes as long as your allocations remain within the percentage ranges we have established, and you adhere to the transfer provisions of your Contract. (See “Transfer Privilege,” “Short-Term Trading,” and “Funds’ Trading Policies.”) Withdrawals out of your portfolio model will be taken pro-rata from each of your selected Funds. Any additional Purchase Payments will be allocated proportionally to your current Fund selection. At any time you can change your Fund selection by providing new allocation instructions. Your new instructions will change your existing allocations accordingly. Your portfolio will be rebalanced quarterly to maintain your percentage allocations in line with the performance of the Funds over the prior quarter.

Under the terms of the Living Benefits, however, there are certain limits on the times when you can make additional Purchase Payments. For SIR III, you cannot make Purchase Payments after your first Account Anniversary. For SIM and SIM Plus, you may make additional Purchase Payments at any time. However, Purchase Payments made after the first Account Anniversary will be limited to $50,000 during any Account Year, without our prior approval. We reserve the right not to accept additional Purchase Payments under SIM and SIM Plus.

If at any time, a fund is closed to new business, no new payments or transfers into the fund will be permitted. However, portfolio rebalancing of the fund will continue. To make a payment into your portfolio model after a fund within the model has been closed, you must redesign your portfolio model without the closed fund. Your entire Account Value will then be reallocated to your new portfolio model. Likewise, if you are participating in a DCA program and one of the Funds in this portfolio model receiving transfers under the DCA program is declared to no longer be part of the portfolio model, then the program will run through to completion. However, before you make any subsequent Purchase Payments, you must first either (a) reallocate your total Account Value among funds that comply with the current Build Your Own Portfolio categories or (b) transfer your total Account Value to Designated Funds other than the Build Your Own Portfolio model. You must also provide us with new allocation instructions for your DCA program.

DEATH BENEFIT

If the Covered Person dies during the Accumulation Phase, we may 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 to the surviving Participant, if any, or, if there is no Participant, 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.

 

46


Table of Contents

The death benefit proceeds will remain invested in the Sub-Accounts in accordance with the allocations made by the Contract Owner until the Beneficiary has provided us with Due Proof of Death in Good Order. Once we have received Due Proof of Death, then investments in the Variable Account may be reallocated in accordance with the Beneficiary’s instructions.

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 Due Proof of Death of the Covered Person in an acceptable form, 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

The basic death benefit will be the greater of the following amounts:

your Account Value on the Death Benefit Date; and

 

  (2)

your total Adjusted Purchase Payments. (See “Calculating the Death Benefit.”)

Adjusted Purchase Payments initially equal the initial Purchase Payment.

Each time there is an additional Purchase Payment then:

 

Your new Adjusted Purchase Payments

     =        APP + PP                              

 

Where:       
  APP   =    Your Adjusted Purchase Payments immediately prior to the additional Purchase Payment.
  PP   =    The amount of the additional Purchase Payment.

Each time there is a withdrawal then:

 

Your new Adjusted Purchase Payments

     =        APP x             (AV - WD)        
  AV

 

Where:       
  APP   =    Your Adjusted Purchase Payments immediately prior to the withdrawal.
  WD   =    The amount of the withdrawal.
  AV   =    Your Account Value immediately prior to the withdrawal.

When the Account Value is less than the Adjusted Purchase Payments, a withdrawal may cause the basic death benefit to decrease by more than the amount of the withdrawal.

Optional Death Benefit

You may enhance the “basic death benefit” by electing the optional death benefit known as the Maximum Anniversary Account Value (“MAV”). You must make your election on or before the Issue Date. You will pay a charge for the optional death benefit. (For a description of the charge, see “Charges for Optional Benefits.”) The optional death

 

47


Table of Contents

benefit is available only if you are younger than age 75 on the Open Date. The optional death benefit election may not be changed after the Contract’s Issue Date. The optional death benefit will be adjusted for all partial withdrawals as described in this Prospectus under the heading “Calculating the Death Benefit.”

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

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 the Covered Person’s 81st birthday, adjusted for any subsequent Purchase Payments and partial withdrawals made between that Account Anniversary and the Death Benefit Date.

In determining the highest Account Value, on the second and each subsequent Account Anniversary, the current Account Value is compared to the previous highest Account Value, adjusted for any Purchase Payments and partial withdrawals made during the Account Year ending on that Account Anniversary. If the current Account Value exceeds the adjusted highest Account Value, the current Account Value will become the new highest Anniversary Account Value.

Spousal Continuance

Under an individually-owned Contract, if you are the Covered Person and your spouse is the sole Beneficiary, upon your death, your spouse may elect to continue the Contract by becoming the new Participant and new Covered Person, rather than receive the death benefit amount. Under a co-owned Contract, if you and your spouse are the Covered Persons and sole Beneficiaries, then upon the death of either you or your spouse, the surviving spouse may continue the Contract as the sole Participant and sole Covered Person. In either case, we will not pay a death benefit, but the Contract’s Account Value will be set to equal the death benefit amount. (See “The Basic Death Benefit” or, if applicable, the “Optional Death Benefit.”) If you are participating in a Living Benefit and you have joint-life coverage, then your surviving spouse may continue the Contract and the Living Benefit. If you are participating in a Living Benefit and you have single-life coverage, then your surviving spouse can continue the Contract, but the Living Benefit will terminate and no optional living benefit will be available to your surviving spouse. (See “Death of Participant - Single-Life Coverage.”)

All Contract provisions, including, if elected, the optional death benefit (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 will not be treated as premium, but will be treated as income. If you are in a same-sex marriage, see “Definition of Spouse Under Federal Law” under “TAX PROVISIONS.”

Calculating the Death Benefit

In calculating the death benefit amount payable under option (2) of “The Basic Death Benefit” or the optional death benefit, each partial withdrawal 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. (See “The Basic Death Benefit.”) A withdrawal may cause the basic death benefit to decrease by more than the amount of the withdrawal.

Rather than receiving the death benefit, the Beneficiary may elect to annuitize, to defer annuitization, or to continue the Contract. In such case, if the death benefit amount payable under the Contract is greater than your Account Value, we

 

48


Table of Contents

will increase the Account Value to equal the death benefit amount. 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. Also, any portion of this new Account Value attributed to an existing DCA Period will be allocated to your selected Sub-Accounts.

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 Service Address, a completed 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 surviving spouse, the Beneficiary may elect to continue the Contract. This election is made by sending us written notice in a form acceptable to us. If we do not receive the Beneficiary’s election within 60 days after we receive Due Proof of Death, the Beneficiary shall be deemed to have elected to defer receipt of payment under any death benefit option until a written election is submitted to the Company or a distribution is required by law. We can defer payment of the death benefit to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940. (See “Payment of Death Benefit.”)

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 5 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.” If you are in a same-sex marriage, see “Definition of Spouse Under Federal Law” under “TAX PROVISIONS.”

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 or removal 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.

 

49


Table of Contents

Every state has unclaimed property laws which generally declare annuity contracts to be abandoned after a period of inactivity of three to five years from the contract’s Annuity Commencement Date or date the death benefit is due and payable. For example, if the payment of a death benefit has been triggered, but, if after a thorough search, we are still unable to locate your Beneficiary, or your Beneficiary does not come forward to claim the death benefit in a timely manner, the death benefit will be paid to the abandoned property division or unclaimed property office of the state in which you or your Beneficiary last resided, as shown on our books and records, or to our state of domicile. This “escheatment” is revocable, however, and the state is obligated to pay the death benefit if your Beneficiary steps forward to claim it with the proper documentation. To prevent such escheatment, it is important that you update your Beneficiary designations, including full names and complete addresses, if and as they change.

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.

THE INCOME PHASE - ANNUITY PROVISIONS

During the Income Phase, we make regular 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 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 under “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 AND WITHDRAWAL CHARGES.”)

Selection of Annuitant(s)

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 Options 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.

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

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 Issue Date.

 

   

The latest possible Annuity Commencement Date is the first day of the month following the Annuitant’s 95th birthday (“Maximum Annuity Commencement Date”). If there is a Co-Annuitant, the Annuity Commencement Date applies to the younger of the Annuitant and Co-Annuitant.

 

50


Table of Contents
   

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 7012 (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 7012).

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. Note that if the Annuitant dies prior to the end of the first month after the Annuity Commencement Date, only one annuity payment will be made.

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 last 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, in one sum, 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, and 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.

Table of Contents

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, except as otherwise provided under your applicable Living Benefit.

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. You may allocate your Adjusted Account Value applied to a Variable Annuity among the Sub-Accounts, or we will use your existing allocations. If, however, a portion of your Account Value was allocated to a DCA Period at the time of annuitization, that portion will be exchanged for Annuity Units and allocated among the Sub-Accounts you select at annuitization or, if you make no such selection, then in proportion to the Sub-Accounts you were invested in prior to annuitization.

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

Remember that the Annuity Option 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.

 

   

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 1.60% of your average daily Annuity Unit values. 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.

 

52


Table of Contents

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.

After you annuitize, we will deduct total insurance charges at an annual rate of 1.60% of your average daily Annuity Unit values. We will no longer deduct the mortality and expense risk charge or the charges for any optional living benefit or the optional death benefit. The 1.60% charge, which includes an administrative expense charge and a distribution fee, compensates us for the risks and expenses associated with providing annuity payments during the Income Phase. The total insurance charges of 1.60% during the Income Phase are higher than the maximum total Variable Account annual expenses (without optional benefits) deducted during the Accumulation Phase.

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, 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, except as otherwise provided under your Living Benefit.

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’ Trading Policies”). The applicability of the Funds’ Trading Policies is the same during the Income Phase as during the Accumulation Phase, and this is discussed in this Prospectus under “Funds’ Trading Policies.” For the reasons discussed there, you should review and comply with each Fund’s Trading Policies, which are generally disclosed in the Funds’ current prospectuses.

During the Income Phase, the Annuitant, the authorized representative of the broker-dealer of record, or another authorized third party may request transfers by telephone, or in writing by submitting the request to our Service Address, 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 $50 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 Contract contains annuity payment rate schedules for each Annuity Option described in this Prospectus.

 

53


Table of Contents

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. We may change these rates under Group Contracts for Accounts established after the effective date of such change. (See “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, in Good Order. 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 without full and adequate consideration, 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.

 

54


Table of Contents

Change of ownership will not change the Covered Person named when the Contract is issued. This means that all death benefits and surrender charge waivers will continue to be based on the Covered Person and not the Participant. The amount payable on the death of the new Participant will be the Surrender Value.

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 and federal taxes on withdrawals), minimum distributions, death benefit payments, transfers (excluding dollar-cost averaging transfers) and living benefit credits or refunds. 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, by regular U.S. mail, 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, step-ups credited on living benefits, 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.

Table of Contents

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, and the tables used in determining the amount of the first monthly variable annuity and fixed annuity payments, provided that such modification will not exceed the maximum fees as shown in the fee table. 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 DCA 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 Service Address, within 10 days or longer if allowed by your state after it was delivered to you. State law may also allow you to return the Contract to your sales representative. (Information about your right to return period can be found on the first page of your Contract or prominently displayed in an endorsement to your Contract. You can also obtain information about your right to return period by contacting 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 return of Purchase Payments, we will return the greater of (1) your Surrender Value or (2) 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 seven days after your Issue 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 PROVISIONS

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 Provisions

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

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 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 an annuity should be based on the assumption that the purchase of an annuity 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 to the extent the Account Value immediately prior to the withdrawal exceeds the “investment in the contract”. 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

 

58


Table of Contents

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 the 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 5912, to distributions pursuant to the death or disability of the owner, 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 includable 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.

For a Non-Qualified Contract to be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes, the terms of the Contract must provide the following three distribution rules:

If the Owner dies before the date annuity payouts begin, the entire Annuity Account Value must generally be distributed within five years after the date of death;

If payable to a designated Beneficiary, the distributions may be paid over the life of that designated Beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of that Beneficiary, so long as payouts start within one year of the Owner’s death.; and

If the sole designated Beneficiary is the Owner’s Spouse, the Contract may be continued in the name of the Spouse as Owner.

For Qualified Contracts, if an Owner dies after RMD distributions have begun, the remaining portion of such interest will continue to be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used prior to the individual’s death.

If an Owner dies before RMD distributions have begun, distribution of the individual’s entire interest must be completed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the individual’s death unless an

election is made to receive distributions in accordance with the rules set forth below:

  (1)

If the Owner’s interest is payable to a designated Beneficiary, then the entire interest of the individual may be distributed in equal or substantially equal payments over the life or over a period certain not greater than the life expectancy of the designated Beneficiary commencing on or before December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Owner died;

 
  (2)

If the designated Beneficiary is the Owner’s surviving spouse, the date distributions are required to begin in accordance with (1) above must not be earlier than the later of (a) December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the individual died or (b) December 31 of the calendar year in which the individual would have attained age 7012;

 

59


Table of Contents
  (3)

If the designated Beneficiary is the Owner’s surviving spouse, the spouse may treat the Contract as his or her own Qualified Contract. This election will be deemed to have been made if such surviving spouse makes a regular Contribution to the Contract, makes a rollover to or from such Contract, or fails to elect any of the above provisions.

If the Owner dies on or after the date annuity payouts start, and before the entire interest in the Contract has been distributed, payments under the Contract must continue on the same or on a more rapid schedule than that provided for in the method in effect on the date of death.

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.

Section 1035 of the Code provides that no gain or loss will be recognized on the exchange of one annuity contract for another. Generally, an annuity contract issued in an exchange for another annuity contract is treated as new for purposes of the penalty and distribution at death rules.

In Revenue Procedure 2011-38, the IRS set forth the rules as to when a partial transfer between annuity contracts will be treated as a tax-free exchange under Section 1035 of the Code. Under Rev. Proc. 2011-38:

The period of time in which cash cannot be withdrawn from either contract after a partial transfer is 180 days beginning on the date of the transfer; and

Annuity payments that satisfy the partial annuitization rule of IRC Section 72(a)(2) will not be treated as a distribution from either the old or new contract.

Please discuss the tax consequences of any contemplated or completed transactions with a qualified tax professional.

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.

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 5912, 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 Annuities 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 5912 (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 5912, 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 of 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.

 

61


Table of Contents

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 and Optional Living Benefits

For a further discussion, please refer to “Tax Issues Under the Living Benefits.”

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 7012 or, for non-IRAs, the date of retirement instead of age 7012 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.

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 and living 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 any optional benefit, you should consult with a qualified tax professional as to the possible effect of that benefit 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. 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”), the IRS’s rules for determining the amount of your taxable income at the time of conversion include an amount based on the RMD actuarial present value requirements discussed above. Thus, your election of a Contract’s optional benefit could cause your taxable income upon conversion to be higher than it would be without such an election. Prior to electing to participate in any optional living benefit or 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 benefit. If this were to occur, election of an optional benefit could cause any withdrawal, including a withdrawal under the withdrawal benefit of any optional living benefit, to have a higher proportion of the withdrawal derived from taxable investment earnings. Prior to electing to participate in an optional benefit (or, if applicable, prior to renewing your participation in any optional living benefit), you should consult with a qualified tax professional as to the meaning of “cash value.”

Definition of Spouse Under Federal Law

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. All Contract provisions relating to spousal continuation are available only to a person who meets the definition of “spouse” under federal law. The U.S. Supreme Court has held that same-sex marriages must be permitted under state law and that marriages recognized under state law will be recognized for federal law purposes. Domestic partnerships and civil unions that are not recognized as legal marriages under state law, however, will not be treated as marriages under federal law. Consult a qualified tax professional for more information on this subject.

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 adviser 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 Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was enacted that included a broad range of tax reforms affecting businesses and individuals, including certain provisions related to contract owner tax reporting (effective after January 1, 2018). Please consult a qualified tax professional for more information.

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 Contract and do not intend the above discussion as tax advice.

Puerto Rico Tax Provisions

The Contract offered by this Prospectus is considered a non-qualified 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 “U.S. Federal Income Tax Provisions” 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 PROVISIONS,” 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 have engaged se2, llc (“se²”), a leading third-party provider of contract administration services for many other life insurance companies, located at 5801 SW 6th Avenue, Topeka, KS 66636, to administer the Contracts. Administrative functions performed by se² include 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, Death Benefits 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. The compensation paid to se² is based on the number of Contracts to which they provide these administrative services.

Business Disruption and Cyber Security Risks

We rely on technology, including digital communications and data storage networks and systems, to conduct our variable product business activities. Because our variable product business is highly dependent upon the effective operation of our computer systems and those of our service providers and other business partners, our business is vulnerable to disruptions from utility outages, and susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from information systems failure and cyber-attacks. We have established administrative and technical controls and cyber security plans, including a business continuity plan, to identify and protect our operations against cyber security breaches. Despite these controls, a cyber security breach could have a material, negative impact on the Company and the Variable Account, as well as on you and your Contract. Our operations also could be negatively affected by a cyber security breach impacting a third party, such as a governmental or regulatory authority, a service provider or another participant in the financial markets. Operational and information security risks include, among other things, the theft, misuse, corruption, and destruction of data maintained online or digitally, interference with or denial of service, attacks on our website and other operational disruption, and unauthorized release of confidential customer information. Cyber security breaches may interfere with our processing of Contract transactions, including the processing of orders, impact our ability to calculate Variable Accumulation Unit values, cause the release or possible destruction of your confidential information or business information, impede order processing or cause other operational issues, subject us and/or our service providers and intermediaries to regulatory fines, litigation, and financial losses and/or cause reputational damage. Cyber security breaches may also impact the issuers of securities in which the Funds invest, which may cause the Funds to lose value and could subject you to identity theft and fraud. Although we continually make efforts to identify and reduce our exposure to cyber security risk, there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully avoid this risk at all times.

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 or 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”), 1601 Trapelo Road, Suite 30, Waltham, Massachusetts 02451. 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 7.50% 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.

 

66


Table of Contents

The Company also pays compensation to wholesaling broker-dealers or other firms or intermediaries 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” compensation, 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 Selling Broker-Dealer may receive numerous forms of payments 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 may be greater or less in connection with the Contracts than in connection with other products offered and sold by the Company or by others. Accordingly, the payments 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 2016, 2017 and 2018, $2,768,152, $2,815,295 and $2,564,246, respectively, in commissions were paid by Delaware Life Insurance Company on behalf of 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.

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., 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 1st 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 State of Delaware and 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 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, including any optional living benefits and death 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 the Company’s obligation to pay guaranteed contract benefits, including any optional living benefits and death benefits. If an assessment were so large as to affect the Company’s own ability to meet its obligations, then the provisions to excuse, defer, or offset such assessment would allow the Company 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

The Company, like other insurance companies, is involved in lawsuits, including class action lawsuits. Although the outcome of any litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, Delaware Life Insurance Company believes that, at the

 

68


Table of Contents

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 options 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, 2018 are also included in the SAI.

ACCUMULATION PHASE: The period before the Annuity Commencement Date and during the lifetime of the Annuitant (and while the Covered Person and all Owners are still alive) during which you make Purchase Payments under the Contract. This is called the “Accumulation Period” in the Contract.

ADJUSTED PURCHASE PAYMENTS: Purchase Payments adjusted for partial withdrawals as described in “Calculating the Death Benefit.”

*ANNUITANT: The person or persons to whom the first annuity payment is made. If either Annuitant dies prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, the surviving Annuitant will become the sole Annuitant. The Annuitant becomes the Payee on the Annuity Commencement Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is more than one Participant of a Non-Qualified Contract, the surviving Participant will be deemed the beneficiary under the preceding sentence and any other designated beneficiary will be treated as a contingent beneficiary. 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 on or after the Annuity Commencement Date.

(a)

The free withdrawal amount in any year is equal to the greater of (1) the Contract’s earnings, minus all withdrawals previously taken that were not subject to withdrawal charges, and (2) 15% of any Purchase Payments made in the last seven Account Years minus all withdrawals taken during the current Account Year that were not subject to withdrawal charges. 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 charge equals $0.

Partial Withdrawal

Assume a single Purchase Payment of $40,000 is made on the Issue 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 to date. The partial withdrawal amount of $4,000 is less than the free withdrawal amount, so there is no withdrawal charge.

 

74


Table of Contents
(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 Purchase Payments 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 withdrawal in Account Year 4 in the example above.

APPENDIX C - CALCULATION OF FREE WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT

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

#1 - Contract earnings minus all withdrawals previously taken that were not subject to withdrawal charges, or

#2 - 15% of the amount of all Purchase Payments made in the last seven Account Years (including the current Account Year), minus all withdrawals taken during the current Account Year that were not subject to withdrawal charges.

For the below example, assume an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000 is made on the Issue Date.

(a)

In Account Year 4, a request for the entire free withdrawal amount is made. The Contract earnings of $17,000 are greater than 15% of all Purchase Payments made in the last seven Account Years (15% x $100,000 = $15,000) and as such $17,000 is withdrawn from the Account.

 

(b)

Later in Account Year 4, an additional Purchase Payment of $40,000 is made and the free withdrawal amount is immediately recalculated. Because 15% of all Purchase Payments made in the last seven Account Years (15% of $140,000) exceeds Contract earnings in Account Year 4 ($1,000), the new free withdrawal amount is $4,000 ([0.15% x $140,000] - $17,000).

 

(c)

In Account Year 8, the free withdrawal amount is $6,000 which represents 15% of Purchase Payments made in the last seven Account Years. (Purchase Payments made in the last seven Account Years would include the $40,000 in Account Year 4, but would not include the $100,000 initial Purchase Payment because that Payment was made more than seven Account Years ago.) The $6,000 is greater than the Contract earnings of $3,000.

 

(d)

Later in Account Year 8, an additional Purchase Payment of $20,000 is made and the free withdrawal amount is immediately recalculated. The new free withdrawal amount is $9,000 (0.15 x [$40,000 + $20,000]), which exceeds Contract earnings in Account Year 8 ($5,000).

 

(e)

Subsequently, in Account Year 8, a withdrawal of $9,000 is taken which reduces the free withdrawal amount to $0.

APPENDIX E - OPTIONAL LIVING BENEFIT EXAMPLES

Example: How the Living Benefits work

Assume for the examples below that you are age 63 when your Contract is issued with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000 and that you elected to participate with single-life coverage. (If you selected joint-life coverage, then the numbers shown in the example could be different). Your Withdrawal Benefit Base and your Bonus Base are each set equal to your initial Purchase Payment on your Issue Date. Because you reached age 59 prior to your Issue Date, your Coverage Date is your Issue Date. At any time, you can begin to withdraw up to your Annual Withdrawal Amount each Account Year without reducing your Withdrawal Benefit Base. (For convenience, assume that the investment performance of your underlying investments equals or offsets all Contract expenses. Therefore, your Account Value remains constant throughout the life of your Contract, except for Account Years 2 and 5.)

A. How SIR III works.

 

Your Annual Withdrawal Amount is set equal to 4% of your Withdrawal Benefit Base, or $4,000. Your Withdrawal Benefit Base will increase by 7% of your Bonus Base each Account Year in which you do not take a withdrawal during the Bonus Period. By deferring withdrawals during the Bonus Period you will increase your Withdrawal Benefit Base, which in turn may maximize your Annual Withdrawal Amount.

Assume that, because of good investment performance of the Designated Funds during Account Year 2, your Account Value has grown to $125,000 on your second Account Anniversary. Therefore, your Contract is eligible for an automatic step-up of its Withdrawal Benefit Base and Bonus Base. At this time we will step up your Withdrawal Benefit Base and your Bonus Base to $125,000. Additionally, because you have crossed into another age tier (from age 63 to age 65), your new Annual Withdrawal Amount will be 5% of your new Withdrawal Benefit Base, or $6,250. Going forward, your new Bonus Base will be $125,000, unless increased by another step-up or reduced by an Excess Withdrawal, and your Bonus Period will now end on your 12th Account Anniversary (i.e., ten years after the step-up). All values shown are as of the beginning of the Account Year.

3      $125,000      $125,000      $125,000      $6,250      $0

Assume you take your first withdrawal in Account Year 4. We set your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage at 5%. Your Annual Withdrawal Amount will be equal to 5% of your Withdrawal Benefit Base. You can withdraw up to $6,688 in Account Year 4 without reducing your Withdrawal Benefit Base.

Assume that, because of good investment performance of the Designated Funds during Account Year 5, your Account Value has grown to $170,000 on your fifth Account Anniversary. Therefore, your Contract is eligible for an automatic step-up of its Withdrawal Benefit Base. We will step up your Withdrawal Benefit Base to $170,000. Your new Annual Withdrawal Amount will be 5% of your new Withdrawal Benefit Base, or $8,500. Going forward, your new Bonus Base will be $170,000, unless increased by another step-up or reduced by an Excess Withdrawal, and your Bonus Period will now end on your 15th Account Anniversary.

Assume in Account Year 9, you don’t take a withdrawal. Your Withdrawal Benefit Base will increase by $11,900, which is 7% of your Bonus Base ($170,000). Your new Annual Withdrawal Amount will be set equal to $9,095, which is 5% of your new Withdrawal Benefit Base ($181,900), as shown below:

B. How SIM works.

 

Your Annual Withdrawal Amount is set equal to 4% of your Withdrawal Benefit Base, or $4,000. Your Withdrawal Benefit Base will increase by 8% of your Bonus Base each Account Year in which you do not take a withdrawal during the Bonus Period. By deferring withdrawals during the Bonus Period, you will increase your Withdrawal Benefit Base, which in turn may maximize your Annual Withdrawal Amount.

Assume that, because of good investment performance of the Designated Funds during Account Year 2, your Account Value has grown to $125,000 on your second Account Anniversary. Therefore, your Contract is eligible for an automatic step-up of its Withdrawal Benefit Base and Bonus Base. At this time we will step-up your Withdrawal Benefit Base and your Bonus Base to $125,000. Additionally, because you have crossed into another age tier (from age 63 to age 65), your new Annual Withdrawal Amount will be 5% of your new Withdrawal Benefit Base, or $6,250. Going forward, your new Bonus Base will be $125,000, unless increased by another step-up or reduced by a One Time Access Withdrawal. Your Bonus Period will end on your 10th Account Anniversary (i.e., ten years after the Issue Date) or the first withdrawal that is not a One-Time Access Withdrawal. All values shown are as of the beginning of the Account Year.

Assume you take your first withdrawal in Account Year 4. We set your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage at 5%. Your Annual Withdrawal Amount will be equal to 5% of your Withdrawal Benefit Base. In Account Year 4, your Withdrawal Benefit Base (including the Bonus) equals $135,000, and you can withdraw up to $6,750 (5% of $135,000) in Account Year 4 without reducing your Withdrawal Benefit Base. Because your first withdrawal was not a One-Time Access Withdrawal, your Bonus Period ends.

C. How SIM Plus works.

 

Your Annual Withdrawal Amount is set equal to 3% of your Withdrawal Benefit Base, or $3,000. Your Withdrawal Benefit Base will increase by 8% of your Bonus Base each Account Year in which you do not take a withdrawal during the Bonus Period. By deferring your withdrawals during the Bonus Period you will increase your Withdrawal Benefit Base, which in turn may maximize your Annual Withdrawal Amount.

Assume that, because of good investment performance of the Designated Funds during Account Year 2, your Account Value has grown to $125,000 on your second Account Anniversary. Therefore, your Contract is eligible for an automatic step-up of its Withdrawal Benefit Base and Bonus Base. At this time we will step up your Withdrawal Benefit Base and your Bonus Base to $125,000. Additionally, because you have crossed into another age tier (from age 63 to age 65), your new Annual Withdrawal Amount will be 4% of your new Withdrawal Benefit Base, or $5,000. Going forward, your new Bonus Base will be $125,000, unless increased by another step-up or reduced by a One Time Access Withdrawal. Your Bonus Period will end on your 10th Account Anniversary (i.e., ten years after the Issue Date) or the first withdrawal that is not a One-Time Access Withdrawal.

Assume you take your first withdrawal in Account Year 4. We set your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage at 4%. Your Annual Withdrawal Amount will be equal to 4% of your Withdrawal Benefit Base. In Account Year 4, your Withdrawal Benefit Base (including the Bonus) equals $135,000, and you can withdraw up to $5,400 (4% of $135,000) in Account Year 4 without reducing your Withdrawal Benefit Base. The Withdrawal Benefit Base will increase each year following the initial withdrawal by the 2.5% Plus Factor, as long as no Excess Withdrawals are taken during the Account Year. Because your first withdrawal was not a One-Time Access Withdrawal, your Bonus Period ends.

Example: 200% Benefit Enhancement (SIM & SIM Plus only)

Assume a client, age 62, purchased a contract on January 1, 2010 with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000. On January 1, 2020 (the later of the 10th Account Anniversary or the Account Anniversary following age 70), if no withdrawals have been taken and the then current Withdrawal Benefit Base equals $180,000, the Withdrawal Benefit Base will be increased to $200,000 (200% of the initial Purchase Payment). If on January 1, 2020, your current Withdrawal Benefit Base is greater than $200,000 due to a prior step-up, then the 200% Benefit Enhancement would not be applied.

Assume a client, age 55, purchased a contract on January 1, 2010 with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000. On January 1, 2025 (the later of the 10th Account Anniversary or the Account Anniversary following age 70), if no withdrawals have been taken and the then current Withdrawal Benefit Base equals $180,000, the Withdrawal Benefit Base will be increased to $200,000.

Table of Contents

Assume a client, age 62, purchased a contract on January 1, 2010 with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000. A subsequent purchase payment of $50,000 is made on June 1, 2018. On January 1, 2020 (the later of the 10th Account Anniversary or the Account Anniversary following age 70), if no withdrawals have been taken and the then current Withdrawal Benefit Base equals $238,000, the Withdrawal Benefit Base will be increased to $250,000 (200% of the initial Purchase Payment, plus 100% of additional Purchase Payments made after the first Account Anniversary.)

Example: One-Time Access Withdrawal (SIM and SIM Plus only)

You may take the One-Time Access Withdrawal before you begin receiving your Annual Withdrawal Amount. The One-Time Access Withdrawal will not end the 200% Benefit Enhancement or the Bonus Period. However, the One-Time Access Withdrawal will cause the Bonus for that Account Year to be forfeited. As a result of the One-Time Access Withdrawal, your Withdrawal Benefit Base, Bonus Base and your 200% Benefit Enhancement will be reduced using the following formulas:

 

Your new Bonus Base

     =        BB x        (             AV - WD              )  
  AV
 

Your new Withdrawal Benefit Base

     =        WBB x        (             AV - WD              )  
  AV
 

Your new 200% Benefit Enhancement

     =        BE x        (             AV - WD              )  
  AV

 

Where:       
  BB   =    Your Bonus Base immediately prior to the One-Time Access Withdrawal.
  WBB   =    Your Withdrawal Benefit Base immediately prior to the One-Time Access Withdrawal.
  BE   =    Your 200% Benefit Enhancement immediately prior to the One-Time Access Withdrawal.
  WD   =    The amount of the One-Time Access Withdrawal.
  AV   =    Your Account Value immediately prior to the One-Time Access Withdrawal.

 

Assume your Contract is issued with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000, and that you elected to participate with single-life coverage. Your Withdrawal Benefit Base and your Bonus Base are each set equal to your initial Purchase Payment on your Issue Date. Your Withdrawal Benefit Base will increase by 8% of your Bonus Base each year in which you do not take a withdrawal during the Bonus Period. Assume your Coverage Date will start in your 5th Account Anniversary (the first Account Anniversary after you reach age 59). If you notify us, the first withdrawal you take after the Coverage Date may be considered the One-Time Access Withdrawal.

Assume that because of good investment performance of the Designated Funds during Account Year 2 your Account Value has grown to $125,000 on your second Account Anniversary. Therefore your Contract is eligible for an automatic step-up of its Withdrawal Benefit Base and Bonus Base. We will step-up your Withdrawal Benefit Base and your Bonus Base to $125,000.

Assume that, in your Account Year 7, you need to take $10,000 and you notify us of your intention to make this withdrawal your One-Time Access Withdrawal.

At this point, your Bonus Base, your Withdrawal Benefit Base and your 200% Benefit Enhancement will be recalculated as follows:

 

Your new Bonus Base    =    $125,000    x    $125,000 - $10,000
           

 

            $125,000
   =    $115,000      
Your new Withdrawal Benefit Base    =    $165,000    x    $125,000 - $10,000
           

 

            $125,000
   =    $151,800      
Your new 200% Benefit Enhancement    =    $200,000    x    $125,000 - $10,000
           

 

            $125,000
   =    $184,000      

Example: Early Withdrawals

Any withdrawal (other than the One-Time Access Withdrawal applicable to SIM and SIM Plus) taken before your Coverage Date will be considered an Early Withdrawal. Your Bonus Base (applicable to SIR III only) and Withdrawal Benefit Base will be reduced using the following formulas:

 

Your new Bonus Base

     =        BB x        (             AV - WD              )  
  AV

 

Your new Withdrawal Benefit Base

     =        WBB x        (             AV - WD             )  
  AV

 

Where:      
  BB   =   Your Bonus Base immediately prior to the Early Withdrawal.
  WBB   =   Your Withdrawal Benefit Base immediately prior to the Early Withdrawal.
  WD   =   The amount of the Early Withdrawal.
  AV   =   Your Account Value immediately prior to the Early Withdrawal.

 

Assume that you are age 50 when your Contract is issued with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000, and that you elected to participate with single-life coverage. Your Withdrawal Benefit Base and your Bonus Base are each set to equal your initial Purchase Payment on your Issue Date. Your Withdrawal Benefit Base will increase by a percentage of your Bonus Base each year in which you do not take a withdrawal. Your Coverage Date will be the first Account Anniversary after you attain the age of 59. (Please note that with SIM and SIM Plus, the first Early Withdrawal taken will be considered the One-Time Access Withdrawal. Also note that the Bonus Period will end on SIM and SIM Plus if a second Early Withdrawal is taken.)

Assume that, because of good investment performance of the Designated Funds during Account Year 2 your Account Value has grown to $125,000 on your second Account Anniversary. Therefore, your Contract is eligible for an automatic step-up of the Withdrawal Benefit Base and Bonus Base. We will step up your Withdrawal Benefit Base and Bonus Base to $125,000. Assume that, in your Account Year 3, you withdraw $10,000. Because you are age 53 (and younger than age 59), this is an Early Withdrawal.

Table of Contents

At this point, your Bonus Base and your Withdrawal Benefit Base will be recalculated as follows:

 

Your new Bonus Base

     =      $125,000    x   $125,000 - $10,000

(SIR III only)

           $125,000
     =      115,000     

Your new Withdrawal Benefit Base

     =      $125,000    x   $125,000 - $10,000
           $125,000
     =      115,000     

Your Annual Withdrawal Amount will still be $0 because you have not reached your Coverage Date. For SIM and SIM Plus, any withdrawal other than the One-Time Access Withdrawal will end the Bonus Period and forfeit the 200% Benefit Enhancement.

Example: Excess Withdrawals

If you take an Excess Withdrawal that is not your One-Time Access Withdrawal, (applicable to SIM and SIM Plus only) your Withdrawal Benefit Base and Bonus Base (applicable to SIR III only) will be reduced according to the following formulas:

 

Your new Bonus Base

     =        BB x        (             AV - WD              )  
  AV - AWA

 

Your new Withdrawal Benefit Base

     =        WBB x        (             AV - WD              )  
  AV - AWA

 

Where:       
  BB   =    Your Bonus Base immediately prior to the Excess Withdrawal.
  WBB   =    Your Withdrawal Benefit Base immediately prior to the Excess Withdrawal.
  WD   =    The amount of the Excess Withdrawal.
  AV   =    Your Account Value immediately prior to the Excess Withdrawal.
  AWA   =    Your Annual Withdrawal Amount minus any prior partial withdrawals taken during the current Account Year.

 

Assume that you invested $65,000 and, due to recent positive market performance, your Account Value in Account Year 5 is $100,000. Your Withdrawal Benefit Base and Bonus Base have stepped up to 100,000, your Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage is 5%, and thus your Annual Withdrawal Amount is $5,000. During this Account Year you make two withdrawals: a $4,000 withdrawal followed by a $6,000 withdrawal. Your first withdrawal reduces your Account Value to $96,000 but does not affect your Withdrawal Benefit Base because it is not in excess of your Annual Withdrawal Amount. Your second withdrawal (when combined with the first) is in excess of your $5,000 Annual Withdrawal Amount. After your second withdrawal, your Withdrawal Benefit Base will be reduced as follows:

 

Your new Bonus Base    =    $100,000    x   $96,000 - $6,000
          

 

           $96,000 - ($5,000 - $4,000)
   =    $94,737     
Your new Withdrawal Benefit Base    =    $100,000    x   $96,000 - $6,000
          

 

           $96,000 - ($5,000 - $4,000)
   =    $94,737     

Beginning on your Account Anniversary and going forward, your new Annual Withdrawal Amount will be $4,737 (5% of $94,737). For SIM and SIM Plus, any withdrawal other than the One-Time Access Withdrawal will end the Bonus Period and forfeit the 200% Benefit Enhancement.

Table of Contents

You should be aware that, if your Account Value minus your Annual Withdrawal Amount is less than the Withdrawal Benefit Base at the time an Excess Withdrawal is taken (as in the above example), then your Withdrawal Benefit Base will be reduced by an amount equal to or more than the excess amount withdrawn. Thus, Excess Withdrawals taken in a down market could severely reduce your benefit.

Example: Account Value goes to zero before the Coverage Date

Assume for the next two examples (A and B) below that you are age 45 when your Contract is issued with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000 and that you elected to participate in the SIR III living benefit with single-life coverage. (If you selected joint-life coverage or a different optional living benefit, the numbers shown in the example could be different; however, the concept is the same.)

Your Withdrawal Benefit Base and your Bonus Base are each set equal to your initial Purchase Payment on your Issue Date. Because you have not reached age 59 prior to your Issue Date, your Coverage Date is the anniversary following your 59th birthday. You may begin to withdraw up to your Annual Withdrawal Amount each Account Year without reducing your Withdrawal Benefit Base starting on the Coverage Date.

A. Early Withdrawal causes Account Value to go to zero before the Coverage Date.

 

Assume that because of the investment performance of the Designated Funds your Account Value remains constant. During Account Year 4 you decide to take an Early Withdrawal equal to the full Account Value.

 

Account Year

     Account
Value
     Withdrawal
Benefit Base
     Bonus Base      Annual
Withdrawal
Amount
     Withdrawals
1      $100,000      $100,000      $100,000      $0      $0
2      $100,000      $107,000      $100,000      $0      $0
3      $100,000      $114,000      $100,000      $0      $0
4      $100,000      $121,000      $100,000      $0      $100,000
5      $0      $0      $0      $0      $0

Since your withdrawal was for the full Account Value, your Contract, including the Living Benefit, will end and you will not be eligible to receive your Annual Withdrawal Amount.

B. Poor performance, Contract fees and charges cause Account Value to go to zero before the Coverage Date.

 

Assume that, over the course of the first 10 years of the Contract, the investment performance of the Designated Funds is such that the Account Value goes to zero due to the combination of poor investment performance, contract fees and charges. You did not take any withdrawals to cause the Account Value to go to zero.

Since your Account Value went to zero before the Coverage Date, your Contract, including the Living Benefit, will end and you will not be eligible to receive your Annual Withdrawal Amount.

Examples: Account Value goes to zero after the Coverage Date

Assume for the next two examples (A and B) below that you are age 65 when your Contract is issued with an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000 and that you elected to participate in the SIR III living benefit with single-life coverage. (If you selected joint-life coverage or a different optional living benefit, the numbers shown in the example could be different; however, the concept is the same.)

A. Excess Withdrawal combined with poor performance, Contract fees and charges cause Account Value to go to zero after the Coverage Date.

 

Assume that, over the course of the first 9 years of the Contract, the investment performance of the Designated Funds is such that the Account Value increases by $1,000 per year. During Account Year 9, you decide to take an Excess Withdrawal for less than the full Account Value. Your Withdrawal Benefit Base and Bonus Base will both reduce proportionately; your Annual Withdrawal Amount will be 5% of the new Withdrawal Benefit Base. Suppose, due to poor investment performance after the Excess Withdrawal, the Account Value goes to zero during Account Year 12. Then your Annual Withdrawal Amount available in Account Year 13 will continue to be paid for the rest of your life.

B. Poor performance, Contract fees and charges cause Account Value to go to zero after the Coverage Date.

 

Assume that, over the course of the first 10 years of the Contract, the investment performance of the Designated Funds is such that the Account Value goes to zero due to the combination of poor investment performance, contract fees and charges. You did not take any withdrawals to cause the Account Value to go to zero.

For Life      $0      $170,000      N/A      $8,500      $8,500

Because your Account Value was reduced to zero during Account Year 11, we will pay the Annual Withdrawal Amount for the rest of your life. All other Contract features, benefits, and guarantees will terminate.

C. Excess Withdrawal causes Account Value to go to zero after the Coverage Date.

Table of Contents

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. You should consult a qualified tax professional.

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.

 

     10 YEARS      20 YEARS      30 YEARS  

Non-Tax-Deferred Account

   $ 16,856      $ 28,413      $ 47,893  

Tax-Deferred Account

   $ 21,589      $ 46,610      $ 100,627  

Tax-Deferred Account After Paying Taxes

   $ 17,765      $ 34,528      $ 70,720  

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 5912, a 10% federal penalty tax.

Table of Contents

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, the 0.15% distribution fee, 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 5912 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:

     =          (             a + b           )     -          d  
  c

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;

Table of Contents
  (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; and

 

  (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 1.00322674 as shown in the calculation above. The value for the current Valuation Period would be, therefore, determined as follows:

 

(14.5645672 x 1.00322674)

     =        14.6115633  

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 1.00323092 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 1.00323092) x 0.99991902

     =          12.3845638  

Example of Variable Annuity Payment Calculations

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.

Table of Contents

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 12.3845638

     =        $ 868.29  

DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACT

We offer the Contract on a continuous basis through the general distributor and principal underwriter of the Contracts, Clarendon Insurance Agency, Inc. (“Clarendon”). Clarendon also acts as the general distributor of certain other annuity contracts issued by the Company and its subsidiary, Delaware Life Insurance Company of New York, and variable life insurance contracts issued by the Company.

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, 2018. 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 5.

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.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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.

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 provision may be made in future years.

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, 2018 noting there are no subsequent events requiring accounting adjustments or disclosure.

3. 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, FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, 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.    

The Variable Account uses the Funds’ closing net asset value to determine the fair value of its Sub-Accounts. As of December 31, 2018, the net assets held in the Variable Account were categorized as 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, 2018. There were no transfers between levels during the year ended December 31, 2018.

4. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Sponsor provides administrative services necessary for the operation of the Variable Account. The Sponsor absorbs all organizational expenses including the fees of registering the Variable Account and its contracts for distribution under federal and state securities laws.

5. CONTRACT CHARGES

Mortality and expense risk charges

Charges for mortality and expense risks, the optional death benefit riders and optional living benefit riders are based on the average daily Variable Account assets and are deducted from the Variable Account at the end of each valuation period to cover the risks assumed by the Sponsor. These charges are reflected in the Statements of Operations.

The deductions are calculated at different levels based upon the elections made by the contract holder and are transferred periodically to the Sponsor. At December 31, 2018, the deduction is at an effective annual rate as follows:

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, Masters VII, Masters Extra, Masters Extra II, Masters Choice and 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 Masters IV, Masters Access, Masters Flex, Masters Flex II and Masters Prime.

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 Statements of Operations.

Administration charges (“Account Fee”)

Each year on the account anniversary date, an Account Fee equal to the lesser of $30 or 2% of the participant’s account value in the case of Regatta Gold, $30 in cash Masters Prime, $35 in the case of Regatta Extra and Regatta Platinum contracts, and $50 in the case of Regatta Choice, Regatta Classic, Regatta Access, Regatta Flex 4, Regatta Flex II, Regatta Choice II, Masters Extra, Masters Choice, Masters Access, Masters Flex, Masters IV, Masters VII, Masters Extra II, Masters Flex II, Masters I Share, and Masters Choice II contracts (after account year 5, the Account Fee for Regatta Gold, Regatta Platinum, Regatta Extra, and Regatta Choice contracts, may be changed annually, but it may not exceed the lesser of $50 or 2% of the participant’s account value) is deducted from the participant’s account to reimburse the Sponsor for certain administrative expenses. The Account Fee related to contracts in the accumulation phase is reflected in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets as part of “Withdrawals, surrenders, annuitizations, and contract charges” line item. After the annuity commencement date, the Account Fee will be deducted pro rata from each variable annuity payment made during the year and reflected under the line item “Annuity payments and contract charges” in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

Surrender charges

The Sponsor does not deduct a sales charge from the purchase payments. However, a surrender charge (contingent deferred sales charge) of up to 6% of certain amounts withdrawn will be deducted to cover certain expenses relating to the sale of Regatta, Regatta Gold, Regatta Flex 4, and Regatta Platinum contracts; 8% for Regatta Extra, Regatta Choice II, Regatta Flex II, Masters Choice, Masters Choice II, Masters Flex, Masters Flex II, Masters Extra, Masters Extra II, Masters IV, Masters VII, and Masters Prime; and for 7% for Regatta Choice if the contract holder requests a full withdrawal prior to reaching the pay-out phase.

Benefit Fee is reflected in the “Withdrawals, surrenders, annuitizations and contract charges” line on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets

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 make this deduction at the annuity commencement date. However, the Sponsor reserves the right to deduct such taxes when incurred.

6. 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 for contracts with annuity commencement dates on or between January 1, 1987 and December 31, 1998 are calculated using the 1983 Individual Annuitant Mortality Table. Annuity reserves for contracts with annuity commencement dates on or between January 1, 1999 and December 31, 2014 are calculated using the Annuity 2000 Table. Annuity reserves for contracts with annuity commencement dates on or after January 1, 2015 are calculated using the 2012 Individual Annuitant Mortality Table. All annuity reserves are calculated using an assumed interest rate of at least 3% or 4% per year. 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. 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.

9. 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.

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 and distribution 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 the value of the underlying fund. 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. The total return is calculated for each period indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting period using the unit value of the beginning period that corresponds to the lowest or highest ending period unit value disclosed. The total returns are presented as a range of maximum to minimum values based on the product grouping representing the corresponding lowest to highest expense ratio amounts.

4 

The unit values are not a direct calculation of net assets over the number of units allocated to the Sub-Account. The unit values are presented as a range of maximum to minimum values based on the product grouping representing the corresponding lowest to highest expense ratio amounts. Some unit values may be outside of the range due to timing of the related Sub-Account level’s commencement date. Unit values of product pricing levels with zero units during the period are excluded when determining the range.

Report of Independent Auditors

To the Board of Directors of

    Delaware Life Insurance Company

We have audited the accompanying statutory financial statements of Delaware Life Insurance Company, which comprise the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital stock and surplus as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related statutory statements of operations and changes in capital stock and surplus, and of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Delaware Department of Insurance. Management is also responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design 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. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the financial statements are prepared by the Company on the basis of the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Delaware Department of Insurance, which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The effects on the financial statements of the variances between the statutory basis of accounting described in Note 1 and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material.

Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

In our opinion, because of the significance of the matter discussed in the “Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” paragraph, the financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016.

Opinion on Statutory Basis of Accounting

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the admitted assets, liabilities and capital stock and surplus of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Delaware Department of Insurance described in Note 1.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

GENERAL

Delaware Life Insurance Company (the “Company”), is a stock life insurance company incorporated under the laws of Delaware. The Company is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Group One Thousand One, LLC (formerly known as Delaware Life Holdings, LLC, the “Parent”), a Delaware limited liability company.

The Company is authorized to transact business in 49 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. While the Company is not authorized to transact business in the State of New York, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Delaware Life Insurance Company of New York (“DLNY”), is authorized to transact business in New York as well as Rhode Island. The business of the Company and its subsidiaries includes the issuance, administration and servicing of 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, funding agreements, and group life and disability insurance.

In the normal course of business, the Company and DLNY reinsure portions of their individual life insurance, annuity, and group insurance exposure with both affiliated and unaffiliated companies using indemnity reinsurance agreements. DLNY cedes 100% of its net group life and disability insurance to a former affiliate.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION—ACCOUNTING PRACTICES

The accompanying financial statements of the Company are presented on the basis of accounting principles prescribed or permitted by the Delaware Department of Insurance (the “Department”). The Department recognizes only statutory accounting practice prescribed or permitted by the State of Delaware for determining and reporting the financial condition and results of operations of an insurance company and for determining its solvency under Delaware’s insurance laws. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ (“NAIC”) Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual (“NAIC SAP”) has been adopted as a component of prescribed or permitted accounting principles by the State of Delaware.

There was no difference in the Company’s net income (loss) or capital stock and surplus between NAIC SAP and practices prescribed and permitted by the State of Delaware as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 and for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016.

Accounting principles and procedures of the NAIC as prescribed or permitted by the Department comprise a comprehensive basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The more significant differences affecting the Company are as follows:

Under statutory accounting principles, financial statements are not consolidated. Investments in domestic life insurance subsidiaries, as defined by Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles (“SSAP”) No. 97, Investments in Subsidiary, Controlled and Affiliated Entities, are carried at their audited net statutory equity value. The changes in value are recorded directly to surplus. Non-public, non-insurance subsidiaries, including limited liability companies (“LLCs”) and controlled partnerships, are carried at their audited GAAP equity value. Dividends paid by subsidiaries to the Company are included in the Company’s net investment income.

Statutory accounting principles do not recognize the following assets or liabilities, which are recognized under GAAP: deferred policy acquisition costs and unearned premium reserves. Deferred policy acquisition costs create a temporary tax difference as disclosed in Note 14. An asset valuation reserve (“AVR”) and interest maintenance reserve (“IMR”) are established under statutory accounting principles but not under GAAP. Methods for calculating real estate investment valuation allowances differ under statutory accounting principles and GAAP. Methods for calculating investment valuation allowances differ under statutory accounting principles and GAAP. Actuarial assumptions and reserving methods differ under statutory accounting principles and GAAP. There are certain

limitations on the admissibility of net deferred tax assets (“DTAs”) under statutory accounting principles. Contracts with a market value adjustment (“MVA”) feature are classified within the Company’s General Account under GAAP, but are classified within the Company’s non-insulated Separate Accounts under statutory accounting principles.

Under GAAP, investments in fixed maturity securities classified as available-for-sale or trading are carried at their aggregate fair value. Changes in unrealized gains and losses are reported net of taxes in a separate component of stockholder’s equity for available-for-sale securities and changes in unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are recorded in net investment income. Fixed maturity securities are generally carried at amortized cost under statutory accounting principles.

The majority of derivatives are carried at fair value on both a GAAP and statutory basis. Unrealized gains and losses on derivatives are recognized in income for GAAP purposes and are recognized in surplus on a statutory basis. The Company designates derivatives as hedges on a limited basis which results in unrealized gains and losses on those derivatives being recognized in income.

Life premiums are recognized as income over the premium paying period of the related policies. Annuity considerations are recognized as revenue when received. Expenses incurred in connection with acquiring new insurance business, including acquisition costs such as sales commissions, are charged to operations as incurred.

The reserves for life insurance and annuity contracts are computed in accordance with presently accepted actuarial standards, and are based on actuarial assumptions and methods (including use of published mortality tables and prescribed interest rates) which produce reserves at least as great as those required by law and/or contract provisions.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with statutory accounting principles prescribed or permitted by the State of Delaware requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. It also requires disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates are those used in determining the fair value of financial instruments, allowance for loan losses, aggregate reserves for life policies and annuity contracts, deferred income taxes, provision for income taxes, and other-than-temporary-impairments (“OTTI”) of investments.

GOING CONCERN

There are no conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Company in preparing the accompanying statutory-basis 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, debt and equity securities, mortgage loans, and derivatives. 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 potential losses.

CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS, AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments are liquid assets. The Company’s cash equivalents primarily include commercial paper and money market instruments, which have an original term to maturity of less than three months. The carrying value for cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments is stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Short-term investments, with the exception of money markets which are carried at fair value per SSAP No. 2R, Cash, Cash Equivalents, Drafts and Short Term Investments, include bonds with a term to maturity exceeding three months, but less than one year on the date of acquisition.

INVESTMENTS

Bonds

Investments in bonds, mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), and asset-backed securities (“ABS”) are stated at amortized cost using the scientific method. Where the NAIC designation of the bond has fallen to 6 and the fair value has fallen below amortized cost, they are stated at fair value. Adjustments to the value of MBS and ABS securities based on changes in cash flows, including those related to changes in prepayment assumptions, are made retrospectively. As part of this process, the NAIC appointed a third-party vendor for each security type to develop a revised NAIC designation methodology. The ratings for residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”) and commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) are determined by comparing the insurer’s carrying value divided by the remaining par value to price ranges provided by the third-party vendor corresponding to each NAIC designation. Comparisons are initially made to the model based on amortized cost. Where the resulting designation is NAIC 6 per the model, further comparison based on fair value is required, which in some cases, results in a higher final NAIC designation.

The definition of structured securities under SSAP No. 43R, Loan Backed and Structured Securities – Revised, includes certain types of ABS and MBS securities that do not follow the revised rating methodology described above, including, but not limited to, equipment trust certificates, credit tenant loans, 5*/6* securities, interest-only securities, and those with Securities Valuation Office (“SVO”) assigned NAIC designations. Interest income on bonds, MBS and ABS is recognized when earned based upon estimated principal repayments, if applicable. For bonds subject to prepayment risk, yields are recalculated and asset balances adjusted periodically so that expected return on future cash flows matches the expected return over the life of the investment from acquisition. If the collection of all contractual cash flows is not probable, an OTTI may be indicated. The process of analyzing securities for an OTTI adjustment is further described in Note 3.

Bonds not backed by other loans are stated at amortized cost, net of OTTI, using the scientific method.

Preferred Stocks, Common Stocks, and Other lnvested Assets

Preferred stocks with an NAIC designation of 1 through 3 are stated at amortized cost. Those with NAIC designations of 4 through 6 are stated at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Common stocks are stated at fair value, except for investments in subsidiaries. The latter are carried based on the underlying statutory equity of the subsidiary for insurance subsidiaries and GAAP equity for non-insurance subsidiaries including LLC’s. The Company accounts for its investments in subsidiaries in accordance with SSAP No. 97. The Company has ownership interests in joint ventures and partnerships which are carried at values based on the underlying equity of the investee in accordance with SSAP No. 48, Joint Ventures, Partnerships and Limited Liability Companies, and SSAP No. 93, Low Income Housing Tax Credit Property Investments. Audited financial statements for these investments are received on an annual basis. OTTI on stocks is evaluated under the methodology described in Note 3.

Mortgage Loans on 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 Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities and Capital Stock and Surplus on the loan’s trade date, which is the date that the Company funds the purchase or receives the proceeds from the sale. Transaction costs on mortgage loans are capitalized on initial recognition and are recognized in the Company’s Statements of Operations using the effective interest rate 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 fair value at the time that the original loan was made. The Company regularly assesses the fair 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.

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 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 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 in a non-accrual status when the collection of contractually specified future cash flows is not probable, in which case cash receipts are applied in the following order: first 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 are recorded as changes in unrealized gains and losses to surplus. Once the conditions causing impairment improve and future payments are reasonably assured, the mortgages are no longer classified as impaired and the Company resumes accrual of income. However, if the original terms of the contract have been changed resulting in the Company providing an economic concession to the borrower at below market rates, then the mortgage is reclassified as restructured. 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 realized losses for any difference between the carrying value and amount received for the underlying property at the time of disposition or foreclosure.

Contract Loans

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

Asset Valuation Reserve and Interest Maintenance Reserve

The asset valuation reserve (“AVR”) is established as a liability based upon a formula prescribed by the NAIC to offset potential credit-related investment losses on all invested assets, with changes in the AVR charged or credited directly to surplus. The interest maintenance reserve (“IMR”) is established as a liability to capture realized gains and losses, net of income tax, on the sale of fixed income investments, principally bonds, mortgage loans, and

derivatives, resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates, and is amortized into income over the remaining years to expected maturity of the assets sold.

Derivatives

As part of the Company’s overall risk management strategy, the Company uses over-the-counter (“OTC”) and listed options, exchange-traded futures, currency forwards, currency swaps, interest rate swaps and swaptions. Derivatives are accounted for in accordance with SSAP No. 86, Derivatives.

Interest rate swaps are employed for duration matching purposes, and in replication transactions, which are used to hedge the guaranteed minimum living benefit offered in some of the Company’s variable annuity policies. Interest rate swaps are reported at fair value except those used in replication transactions which are reported at amortized cost. Changes in fair value are recorded as unrealized gains/losses within surplus.

The Company utilizes listed put and call options and exchange-traded futures on the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index (the “S&P 500 Index”) and other indices to hedge against stock market exposure inherent in the mortality and expense risk charges and guaranteed minimum death and living benefit features of the Company’s variable annuities. These options are reported at fair value. Changes in fair value for options are recorded in unrealized gains/losses within surplus. The daily cash variation margin settlements for futures are recorded as a component of net investment income.

The Company also purchases OTC and listed call options and exchange-traded futures on the S&P 500 Index and other indices to economically hedge its obligations under certain fixed index annuity contracts. The interest credited on these products is based on the changes in the indices. Options are reported at fair value. Changes in fair value are recorded in unrealized gains/losses within surplus. The daily cash variation margin settlements for futures are recorded as a component of net investment income.

The Company uses currency swaps and currency forwards to hedge against the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Currency swaps and currency forwards are reported at fair value. Changes in fair value are recorded as unrealized gains/losses within surplus.

Swaptions are utilized by the Company to hedge exposure to interest rate risk. At the trade date of a swaption, a premium is paid to the counterparty and recorded as an asset. At expiration, swaptions either cash settle for value, settle into an interest rate swap, or expire worthless. Swaptions are reported at fair value and changes in fair value are recorded in unrealized gains/losses within surplus.

POLICY AND CONTRACT RESERVES

The reserves for life insurance policies and annuity contracts are computed in accordance with presently accepted actuarial standards, and are based on actuarial assumptions and methods (including use of published mortality tables and prescribed interest rates) which produce reserves at least as great as those required by law and/or contract provisions.

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. These liabilities include estimates of the expenses that will be incurred in connection with the payment of the benefit payments. The amounts reported are 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 adjustments are determined to be required.

DEPOSIT TYPE CONTRACTS

Liabilities for funding agreements, investment-type contracts such as supplementary contracts not involving life contingencies, and certain structured settlement annuities are based on account value or accepted actuarial standards and methods including use of prescribed interest rates.

INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for current and deferred income taxes and recognizes reserves for income tax contingencies in accordance with SSAP No. 101, 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 DTAs and deferred tax liabilities (“DTLs”) is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances on DTAs are estimated based on the Company’s assessment of the realization of such DTAs. Refer to Note 14 for further discussion of the Company’s income taxes.

INCOME AND EXPENSES

Life insurance premiums are recognized as income over the premium paying period of the related policies. Annuity considerations are recognized as revenue when received. Expenses, such as commissions and other costs applicable to the acquisition of new business, are charged to operations as incurred.

SEPARATE ACCOUNTS

The Company has established insulated Separate Accounts applicable to various classes of contracts providing for variable benefits. Contracts for which funds are invested in insulated variable Separate Accounts include individual and group life and annuity contracts. The assets in these insulated separate accounts are carried at fair value and the investment risk associated with such assets is retained by the contract holder. These variable products provide minimum death benefits and, in certain annuity contracts, minimum accumulation, income, or withdrawal benefits. The minimum guaranteed benefit reserves associated with the insulated Separate Accounts are reported in Aggregate Reserves for Life Contracts in the Company’s Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, Capital Stock and Surplus.

The Company has also established non-insulated Separate Accounts for certain annuity contracts that include an MVA feature associated with fixed rates, including for amounts allocated to the fixed portion of certain combination fixed and variable deferred annuity contracts. Assets in the non-insulated Separate Accounts are carried at fair value or on a General Account basis, depending on the annuity contract being supported. The assets of the non-insulated Separate Accounts are not legally insulated and can be used by the Company to satisfy General Account obligations.

Net investment income, capital gains and losses, and changes in invested asset values on the insulated variable Separate Accounts are allocated to policyholders and therefore do not affect the operating results of the Company. The Company earns Separate Account fees for providing administrative services and bearing the mortality and other guaranteed benefit risks related to contracts for which funds are invested in variable Separate Accounts.

Certain activity from the variable Separate Accounts is reflected in the Company’s financial statements as follows:

 

   

The fees that the Company receives which are assessed periodically and recognized as revenue when assessed.

 

   

The activity related to the guaranteed minimum death benefit, guaranteed minimum accumulation benefit,

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

New and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 2018, the NAIC adopted changes to SSAP No. 100, Fair Value, to allow net asset value per share as a practical expedient to fair value, either when specifically named in a SSAP or when specific conditions exist.

The adoption of the revisions within SSAP No. 100 did not have a significant impact on the financial statements of the Company.

Effective December 31, 2017, the NAIC adopted changes to SSAP No. 26, Bonds. The changes include removing SVO-identified instruments from the definition of a bond and providing separate statutory accounting guidance for exchange-traded bond funds (“ETFs”). The Company has elected to use a documented systematic value measurement method for ETFs. Revisions also incorporate the definition of a security within the definition of a bond, and incorporate definitions for non-bond, fixed-income instruments. The adoption of the revisions within SSAP No. 26 did not have a significant impact on the financial statements of the Company.

Effective January 1, 2017, the NAIC adopted changes to SSAP No. 35R, Guaranty Fund and Other Assessments, to require revisions to the discounting of long-term care guaranty fund assessments and related assets. The adoption of the revisions within SSAP No. 35R did not have a significant impact on the financial statements of the Company.

Effective January 1, 2017, the NAIC adopted changes to SSAP No. 41R, Surplus Notes, to provide guidance on howto determine the measurement method for surplus notes. The adoption of the revisions within SSAP No. 41R did not have a significant impact on the financial statements of the Company.

Effective January 1, 2017, the NAIC adopted changes to SSAP No. 103R, Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment Liabilities, to provide accounting and reporting guidance for short sales.

The Company invested a total of $48.8 million for the acquisition of CSP&C and for additional capital contributions during 2017.

In 2017, the Company organized Clear Spring Health Holdings, LLC(“CSHH”), a Delaware limited liability company, that was formed in connection with the group’s entry into the health benefits business. The Company contributed approximately $2.0 million to CSHH during 2017, which was then transferred to Clear Spring Health of Illinois, Inc. During 2018, the Company contributed $8.5 million to CSHH, of which $3.5 million was used to purchase Eon Health Plan LLC (“EHP”) and $5.0 million was transferred upon purchase as a capital contribution.

The Company values its investments in CSPCH and CSHH at $44.8 million and ($2.3) million, respectively, using the look-through approach.

The financial statements of CSPCH and its wholly-owned non-insurance subsidiary are not audited; therefore, the Company limited the value of CSPCH to 80% of the statutory value contained in the audited financial statements of CSPCH’s downstream insurance subsidiary, adjusted for unamortized goodwill in accordance with SSAP 97. All liabilities, commitments, contingencies, guarantees or obligations required to be recorded were considered by the Company in the determination of the carrying value.

The financials of CSHH and its wholly-owned non-insurance subsidiaries are also not audited; therefore, the Company limited the value of CSHH to the sum of the statutory values of CSHH’s insurance subsidiaries, modified to exclude accrued and unpaid capital contributions, and adjusted for any unamortized goodwill, liabilities, commitments, contingencies, guarantees or obligations required to be recorded in accordance with SSAP 97.

Dividends/Distributions

In December 2018, December 2017, and November 2016, the Company received ordinary dividends from DLNY in the amounts of $20.3 million, $40.4 million, and $17.2 million, respectively. In September 2018, DLIH 2015 distributed $15.0 million of capital back to the Company. In October 2018, the Company received an ordinary dividend of $2.9 million from DL Reinsurance Company (“DLRC”). In December 2018, Ellendale Insurance Agency, LLC paid a distribution in the amount of $20.0 million to the Company. Refer to Note 15 for a summary of dividends paid to the Parent.

Reinsurance-Related Agreements

The Company has two reinsurance agreements with DLRC. Under one agreement, the Company cedes certain risks associated with the Company’s variable annuity contracts and associated riders on a combination modified coinsurance and funds withheld coinsurance basis to DLRC (the “VA Treaty”). Under the second agreement, the Company cedes a quota share of certain risks associated with various fixed index annuity products and associated riders to DLRC (the “FIA Treaty”). The VA Treaty and the FIA Treaty transfer hedging risks to DLRC, but do not transfer insurance risks. Both treaties are accounted for using deposit accounting. As a result of the treaties between the Company and DLRC, certain gains (losses), previously accounted for as other changes in capital stock and surplus, net investment income (loss), and net realized capital gains (losses), are now accounted for as investment income (loss) on reinsurance deposit asset. During 2018 and 2017, there were changes in the hedging strategy by the Company and certain hedges were excluded or added from/to the two treaties. DLRC, as reinsurer, consented to these changes as required by the treaties.

Hedging risk is defined as changes in unrealized hedging instrument gains or losses, realized gains and losses on dispositions of hedging instruments, and investment income or loss from hedging instruments. “Investment expense (income) on funds held” represents amounts paid or received on hedging instruments that were ceded under the treaties, and for 2017 and 2016, ceded realized gains and losses on dispositions of hedging instruments. Beginning in 2018, the ceded realized gains and losses were reported in “Net realized capital gains (losses)”. “Investment income (expense) on funds held – unrealized” represents the unrealized gain or loss for the period on

The Company recorded $9.1 million of investment income in 2018 from these investments, and the average yield was 7.4%.

Guarantees

The Company, as successor to Keyport Life Insurance Company (“Keyport”), unconditionally guarantees the full and punctual payment when due of any obligations of the former Keyport Benefit Life Insurance Company (“KBL”) arising out of or in connection with any contract issued by KBL on or after June 25, 1998 and before December 31, 2002, the date that KBL merged with and into the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, DLNY. The purpose of this guaranty was to enhance the financial strength of KBL. The liability of the Company under the guaranty is unlimited to any specific sum. The guaranty will not exceed contractual obligations to the policyholders of the contracts. The cash surrender value of the contracts at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was approximately $207.9 million and $230.7 million, respectively. At December31, 2018 and 2017, there was no liability accrued for this guaranty.

The Company guarantees on a subordinated basis all amounts payable by DLNY to holders of certain deferred combination fixed and variable annuity contracts (“MVA Contracts”) issued by DLNY which include the option to earn a guaranteed fixed return for specified periods (“Guarantee Period”). The Company unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the full and punctual payment when due of all amounts payable by DLNY from a Guarantee Period to any holder. The guaranty is subject to no preconditions other than the failure by DLNY to pay when due any Guarantee Period interests. DLNY registered such Guarantee Period interests under the Securities Act of 1933 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Under the SEC’s rules, implementation of the guaranty permitted DLNY to stop filing periodic reports with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the purpose of the guaranty was to achieve that result. The Company’s guaranty in this regard guarantees the payment of amounts payable by DLNY from a Guarantee Period but does not guaranty any other obligations of DLNY under the MVA Contracts. The obligations under the foregoing guaranty are unsecured obligations of the Company and subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all other obligations of the Company, except for guarantees which by their terms are designated as ranking equally in right of payment with or subordinate to this guaranty. The liability of the Company under the guaranty is unlimited to any specific sum. The guaranty will not exceed contractual obligations to the holders of the MVA Contracts. The total account value of the MVA Contracts was approximately $6.8 million and $7.9 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. There is no liability accrued for this guaranty.

Pursuant to an agreement effective January 20, 2017, the Company guarantees punctual payment to Merrill Lynch Professional Clearing Corp. (“ML Pro”) and certain affiliates of ML Pro (collectively, the “Guaranteed Parties”) by DLIH 2015, and other subsidiaries of the Company that may be added to the guaranty (collectively, the “ML Customers”), in connection with accounts the ML Customers have with the Guaranteed Parties. The obligations of the Company under the guaranty agreement are limited to $300.0 million.

Proceeds from sales and maturities of investments in bonds and preferred stock during 2018, 2017 and 2016, were $4.4 billion, $8.0 billion, and $13.2 billion, including non-cash transactions of $375.4 million, $195.8 million and $103.1 million, respectively; gross gains were $41.4 million, $63.6 million and $198.3 million respectively; and gross losses were $77.2 million, $22.9 million, and $12.7 million, respectively.

The Company had unfunded commitments for future fixed income fundings of $1,083.7 million and $716.6 million as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 respectively.

Bonds included above with a statement value of approximately $5.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were on deposit with governmental authorities as required by law.

Investment-grade bonds were 97.8% and 95.3% of the Company’s total bonds as of December 31, 2018, and 2017, respectively.

The fair value of publicly-traded bonds is determined 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, with the remaining unpriced securities priced using one of the other two methods. For privately-placed fixed maturity securities, fair values are estimated using model prices or broker quotes. A portion of privately-placed fixed maturity securities (typically SEC Rule 144A securities) are priced using market prices.

Structured securities, such as ABS, RMBS and CMBS, are priced using third-party pricing services, a fair value model, or independent broker quotations. 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. Exposure to any single issuer is less than 10% of net admitted assets.

The fair value of the Company’s preferred stocks is first based on quoted market prices. Similar to fixed-maturity securities, the Company uses pricing services and broker quotes to price preferred stocks for which the quoted market price is not available.

Other-than-temporary-impairment

The Company recognizes and measures OTTI for loan-backed and structured securities (“LBSS”) in accordance with SSAP No. 43R. In accordance with SSAP No. 43R, if the fair value of a LBSS is less than its amortized cost basis at the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities and Capital Stock and Surplus date, the Company assesses whether the impairment is an OTTI. When an OTTI has occurred, the amount of OTTI recognized in earnings is the difference between the amortized cost basis of the security and the present value of its expected future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate implicit in the security.

If the Company intends to sell the LBSS, or if it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, an OTTI is considered to have occurred. The amount of the OTTI recognized in earnings is the difference between the amortized cost basis and the fair value of the security.

If the Company does not intend to sell the LBSS, or if it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the Company performs cash-flow based testing to determine if the present value of its expected future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate implicit in the security is less than its amortized cost basis.

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 loss models using assumptions about key systematic risks, such as unemployment rates and housing prices, and loan-specific information, such as delinquency rates and loan-to-value ratios.

There were no credit impairments recorded in 2018, 2017 and 2016 on LBSS held as of December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively, pursuant to SSAP No. 43R.

If the fair value of a bond, other than those subject to SSAP No. 43R, is less than its amortized cost basis at the Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities and Capital Stock and Surplus date, the Company assesses whether the impairment is an OTTI. When an OTTI has occurred, the amount of OTTI recognized in earnings is the difference between the amortized cost basis of the security and its fair value.

If the Company intends to sell the bond, or if it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, an OTTI is considered to have occurred. If the Company does not intend to sell the bond, or if it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the Company employs a portfolio monitoring process to identify securities that are OTTI.

The Company has a credit committee composed of investment and finance professionals which meets at least quarterly to review individual issues or issuers that may be of concern. In determining whether a security is OTTI, the credit committee considers the factors described below. The process involves a quarterly screening of all securities with a fair value less than the amortized cost basis. Discrete credit events, such as a ratings downgrade, are also used to identify securities that may be OTTI. 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 the credit committee’s evaluation, issues or issuers are considered for inclusion on one of the Company’s following credit lists:

“Monitor List”—A security on this list is subject to a heightened level of monitoring because either the issue or the issuer or its industry, sector, geographic location, or political operating environment has been under stress.

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017 AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018, 2017 AND 2016

 

 

“Watch List”—There is a preponderance of likelihood that either interest or principal will not be received according to the committee’s expectations and may result in an impairment or write-offs.

“Impaired List”—The credit committee has concluded that the Company has the intent to sell the security, it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, or the amortized cost basis of the security is not expected to be recovered due to expected delays or shortfalls in the contractually specified cash flows. For these investments, the amount of OTTI recognized in the Company’s Statements of Operations is the difference between the amortized cost basis of the security and its fair value or discounted cash flows.

Should it be determined that a security is OTTI, the Company records a loss through an appropriate adjustment in carrying value. For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, the Company incurred write-downs of bonds totaling $5.8 million, $27.9 million, and $0.3 million respectively, including those subject to SSAP No. 43R. Of these amounts, no OTTI was related to sub-prime loans. $27.9 million of the 2017 OTTI was related to securities the Company intended to sell. All such OTTI was interest related.

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.

The gross unrealized losses and fair value of investments, which were deemed temporarily impaired, aggregated by investment category, number of securities, and the length of time in an unrealized loss position, at December 31, 2018 were as follows:

4. MORTGAGE LOANS ON REAL ESTATE

The Company invests in commercial first mortgage loans throughout the United States and Great Britain. Investments are diversified by property type and geographic area in order to manage credit risk. The Company monitors the condition of the mortgage loans in its portfolio.

In those cases, where mortgages have been restructured, appropriate allowances for losses are made. In those cases where, in management’s judgment, the mortgage loan’s value is impaired, appropriate losses are recorded.

The Company originated nine mortgage loans and made four additional investments after acquisition with a total cost of $131.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2018 with rates ranging from 4.87% to 11.00%, eighteen mortgage loans with a total cost of $229.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2017 with rates ranging from 3.36% to 9.83%, and seventeen mortgage loans with a total cost of $118.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2016 with rates ranging from 3.0% to 13.68%. During the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017

and 2016, the Company did not reduce interest rates on any outstanding mortgage loans. Mortgage loans are collateralized by the related properties and are no more than 75% of the property’s value at the time the original loan is made.

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. 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. 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. The Company did not have a specific allowance for loan loss at December 31, 2018 and 2017. 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. The general allowance for loan loss was $2.5 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017. While management believes that it uses the best information available to establish allowances, future adjustments may become necessary if economic conditions differ from the assumptions used in calculating them. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company individually and collectively evaluated loans with a gross carrying value of $546.7 million and $493.8 million, respectively.

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company held no restructured loans. Should the Company hold any troubled debt, the Company may modify the terms of a loan by adjusting the interest rate, extending the maturity date, or both.

Delinquency status is determined based upon the occurrence of a missed contract payment. There were no loans past due greater than 90 days at December 31, 2018 or December 31, 2017.

The Company accrues interest income on impaired loans to the extent it is deemed collectible. Otherwise, receipts on non-performing loans are not recognized as interest income until the loan is no longer impaired, is sold, or is otherwise made whole. Any cash collected during the period where the loan is impaired is applied to lower its carrying value.

REPURCHASE AGREEEMENTS AND REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS TRANSACTIONS ACCOUNTED FOR AS SECURED BORROWING

REPURCHASE TRANSACTION - CASH PROVIDER - OVERVIEW OF SECURED BORROWING TRANSACTIONS

(1) The Company opportunistically uses repurchase transactions in conjunction with its liquidity management program to temporarily provide short-term liquidity from time-to-time as needed and determined by the Company. Using repurchase transactions to meet the short-term liquidity needs positions the Company to be prepared to execute on opportunistic investments as they arise. The collateral posted by the Company is subject to fair value change and a decline in fair value could require the company to post additional collateral to the counterparty. This risk is mitigated by the company’s internal policy of limiting repurchase transactions to 5.0% of its available collateral. Potential liquidity risks arising from a duration mismatch between the collateral and repurchase transaction are mitigated by the Company’s other sources of liquidity, such as monthly principal and interest payments, premium sales by the Company, and other lines of credit established by the Company. The Company typically receives cash for its repurchase transactions, however on occasion the company has received United States Treasuries. In the case of United State Treasuries, the Company monitors the price of the Treasury collateral to ensure the Company is adequately collateralized.

REVERSE REPURCHASE TRANSACTION – CASH PROVIDER -OVERVIEW OF SECURED BORROWING TRANSACTIONS

(1) The Company engages in a reverse repurchase agreement program. This program is intended to provide opportunistic, short-term financing to counterparties. Each repurchase agreement entered into is governed by the terms of the Master Repurchase Agreement (MRA) as agreed to between the parties. Under the terms of the MRA, the Company purchases investments from the counterparty and the counterparty agrees to repurchase the same, or similar investments, back from the Company on a specified date at a specified price. On the maturity date, the Company may elect to enter into a new repurchase agreement with that same repo counterparty. The Company’s decision to do so will be dependent on the Company’s liquidity needs and their assessment of the counterparty and collateral’s performance.

As a risk-mitigant, the Company requires its counterparties to post collateral in excess of the loan amount, otherwise known as over collateralization. The amount of over collateralization is up to the Company’s discretion, but will not be less than 102%. On average, the Company has required over collateralization of 120%. The short duration of the

8.

DERIVATIVES

The Company uses derivatives for hedging or replication purposes only. Interest rate swaps are mainly employed for hedging guaranteed minimum living benefits for certain variable annuity contracts and for duration matching purposes.

Options and swaptions are used to hedge equity and interest exposure embedded in the Company’s fixed, fixed index, and variable annuity products. Futures are used to hedge equity exposure included in fixed indexed annuities, as well as the guaranteed minimum death and living benefit features of the Company’s variable annuities. Currency forwards and swaps are used to hedge changes in foreign currency exchange (“FX”) rates.

Interest rate swaps, options, swaptions and currency swaps are reported at fair value, with the unrealized gain or loss reported as an adjustment to surplus if not designated an effective hedge. All futures are marked to market and settled on a daily basis, with the gain or loss reported as a component of net investment income (loss).

Beginning in July 2015, the Company began hedging the equity exposure embedded in its new fixed index annuity products with OTC options utilizing the Cash Return on Capital Invested, Sector III, and MAA indices. Fair value

change in the options embedded within the policies are recorded in income. The OTC options were designated as fair value hedges with changes in fair value also recorded in income through September 30, 2018. On October 1, 2018, the Company elected to discontinue hedge accounting and de-designate the options and offsetting liabilities as hedge pairs. As a result, changes in the fair value of these options from October 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018 were recorded as unrealized losses in surplus.

Market risk is the risk of loss due to market price changes of the derivative instrument or the underlying security or index. To mitigate this risk, the Company matches the market sensitivity of the hedge with the market sensitivity of the underlying asset or liability being hedged.

Credit risk is the counterparty credit risk or risk of loss as a result of default or a decline in market value stemming from a credit downgrade of the counterparty to the derivative transaction. The Company minimizes this risk by entering into derivatives only with counterparties that meet certain criteria, by utilizing standardized agreements, and by limiting counterparty concentrations.

All derivative transactions are covered under standardized contractual agreements with counterparties, all of which include credit-related contingent features. Certain counterparty relationships also may include supplementary agreements with tailored terms, such as additional triggers for early terminations, acceptable practices related to cross-transaction netting, and minimum thresholds for determining collateral.

Credit-related triggers include failure to pay or deliver on an obligation past certain grace periods, bankruptcy or the downgrade of credit ratings to below a stipulated level. These triggers apply to both the Company and its counterparty.

At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company pledged $208.1 million and $101.1 million, respectively, in U.S. Treasury securities and cash as collateral to counterparties. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, counterparties pledged to the Company $144.4 million and $224.3 million, respectively, in collateral comprised of cash and U.S. Treasury securities and corporate bonds.

At December 31, 2018 and 2017, open futures contracts had a notional value of $2,232.6 million and $1,676.4 million and a fair value of ($11.8) million and $1.6 million, respectively. These amounts did not include the component of variation margin that had already been cash settled.

On November 1, 2018, the Company created 4 Replication Synthetic Asset Transactions (“RSATs”) which were approved by the SVO. Each of the four RSATs are the combination of a long dated interest rate swap that pays fixed and receives floating rate coupons with a group of long dated fixed rate investment grade corporate bonds. The resulting synthetic asset is a long dated floating rate bond. The net unrealized loss on the four interest rate swaps was $2.5 million at November 1, 2018. This amount is being amortized over the remaining life of the swaps.

The Company did not have derivative contracts with financing premiums during 2018 or 2017.

 

9.

REINSURANCE

Reinsurance ceded contracts do not relieve the Company from its obligations to 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 arising from this contingency is unlikely.

The Company has two reinsurance agreements with Barbco, refer to Note 2 for additional details. The Company has liabilities for the funds held under the coinsurance with funds held treaty with Barbco of $247.0 million and $247.5 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The Company cedes certain risks to DLRC through the VA Treaty and the FIA Treaty. Refer to Note 2 for further details.

The Company has agreements with several unrelated companies, which provide for reinsurance of portions of the net amount at risk under certain of the Company’s individual variable universal life, individual universal life, individual private placement variable universal life, corporate and bank-owned life insurance policies and accidental death benefit. These amounts are reinsured on either a monthly renewable term, yearly renewable term, or coinsurance basis.

The Company has agreements with unrelated companies that provide for reinsurance of guaranteed minimum death benefits under certain of its variable annuity contracts. These amounts are reinsured on a monthly renewable term basis.

In 2018, the Company ceded, on a coinsurance and modified coinsurance basis, in-force variable annuity base contracts to an unaffiliated reinsurer. For the year ended December 31, 2018, premiums ceded under the treaty were $13.0 billion, and benefits ceded (including policy surrenders) were $2.0 billion.

The effects of reinsurance on premiums and benefits were as follows:

RESERVES

The reserves for life insurance and annuity contracts are computed in accordance with presently accepted actuarial standards and are based on actuarial assumptions and methods (including use of published mortality tables and prescribed interest rates and methodologies) which produce reserves at least as great as those required by law and contract provisions.

Deduction of deferred fractional premiums upon death of the insured and return of any portion of the final premium for the period beyond the date of death are not applicable to the business of the Company. Surrender values are not promised in excess of reserves legally computed.

For policies with annual extra premiums, additional reserves are held equal to one-half the extra premium. Extra premiums on single premium policies are amortized over ten years. Policies issued with premiums corresponding to ages higher than the true ages are valued at the rated-up ages. Policies issued subject to a lien are valued as if the full amount were payable without any deduction. For interest-sensitive policies, substandard risks are reflected in the cost of insurance charges.

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had $10.9 million and $11.4 million, respectively, of insurance in force (direct and assumed), for which gross premiums were less than the net premiums according to the standard of valuation required by the State of Delaware. Reserves (direct and assumed) to cover the above insurance totaled of $3.1 million and $2.7 million as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The Tabular Interest has been determined by formula as described in the NAIC instructions, except for some business which is determined from basic policy data for reserving. The Tabular less Actual Reserve Released has been determined by formula as described in the NAIC instructions. The Tabular Cost has been determined by formula as described in the NAIC instructions, except for universal life products which use cost of insurance and some business which uses basic policy data for reserving. The Tabular Interest on Funds not Involving Life Contingencies was determined from the interest credited to the deposits, except for certain guaranteed interest contracts which are determined by formula as described in the NAIC instructions. Other than normal updates of reserves, the only significant reserve changes as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 were the changes in additional reserves held due to asset adequacy analysis testing. Direct asset adequacy reserves were $63.4 million and $58.4 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

SEPARATE ACCOUNTS

The Company has established insulated Separate Accounts applicable to various classes of contracts providing for variable benefits. Contracts for which funds are invested in insulated variable Separate Accounts include individual and group life and annuity contracts. The assets (securities) in these insulated accounts are carried at fair value and the investment risk associated with such assets is retained by the contract holder. These variable products provide minimum death benefits and, in certain annuity contracts, minimum accumulation income or withdrawal benefits. The minimum guaranteed benefit reserves associated with the insulated Separate Accounts are reported in “Aggregate reserve for the life contracts” in the Company’s Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities and Capital Stock and Surplus.

The Company has also established non-insulated Separate Accounts for certain contracts that include an MVA feature associated with fixed rates, including for amounts allocated to the fixed portion of certain combination fixed and variable deferred annuity contracts. The assets in the variable deferred annuity Separate Account are carried at fair value. For some MVA contracts, the assets in the fixed deferred annuity Separate Account are carried on a General Account basis. The assets of the non-insulated Separate Account are not legally insulated and can be used by the Company to satisfy claims resulting from the General Account.

The Company earns Separate Account fees for providing administrative services and bearing the mortality and the other guaranteed benefit risks related to variable contracts. Net investment income, capital gains and losses, and changes in mutual fund asset values in variable Separate Accounts are allocated to policyholders and therefore are not reflected in the Company’s Statements of Operations for the General Account.

For the current reporting year, the Company reported assets and liabilities from the following products in a Separate Account:

 

   

Variable Life

 

   

Variable Annuity

 

   

MVA Annuity

A majority of the variable Separate Account assets are legally insulated from the Company’s General Account, whereas the non-insulated Separate Account assets are not legally insulated. The legal insulation of the Separate

Account assets prevents such assets from being generally available to satisfy claims resulting from the General Account. The Separate Account classification of “legally insulated” vs. “not legally insulated” is supported by Section 2932 of the Delaware Insurance Code.

The Company maintained Separate Account assets totaling $21,177.8 million and $23,870.4 million as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company’s Separate Account statements, included legally insulated assets of $20,542.8 million and $23,004.7 million, respectively.

The assets legally insulated and non-legally insulated from the General Account as of December 31, 2018 were attributed to the following products:

Separate Account liabilities are determined in accordance with prescribed actuarial methodologies, which approximate the fair value of the related assets less applicable surrender charges. The resulting surplus is recorded in the Statements of Operations for the General Account as a component of “Net transfers (from) or to Separate Accounts net of reinsurance.” The variable Separate Accounts are non-guaranteed Separate Accounts, wherein the policyholder assumes substantially all the investment risks and rewards. MVA Separate Accounts are guaranteed Separate Accounts, wherein the Company contractually guarantees either a minimum return or account value to the policyholder. In accordance with the guarantees provided, if the investment proceeds are insufficient to cover the rate of return guaranteed for the product, the policyholder proceeds will be remitted by the General Account.

The Company had $18,071.3 million and $20,706.7 million of non-guaranteed Separate Account reserves and $467.3 million and $549.1 million of guaranteed Separate Account reserves as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

To compensate the General Account for the risk associated with Separate Account guarantees, risk charges of $179.3 million, $206.1 million, and $207.6 million were received by the General Account from the Separate Accounts during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, the Company’s General Account paid $62.9 million, $84.0 million, and $95.7 million for Separate Account guarantees, respectively.

The Company does not engage in securities lending transactions within its Separate Account.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

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 minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The Company has categorized its financial instruments 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.

Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the Company’s Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities and Capital Stock and Surplus are categorized as follows:

Level 1

 

   

Valuation inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market.

The types of assets and liabilities utilizing Level 1 valuation inputs generally include cash, cash equivalents, short term investments, U.S. Treasury and agency securities, investments in publicly-traded mutual funds with quoted market prices, and exchange-traded derivatives.

Level 2

 

   

Valuation is based upon quoted prices in markets that are not active or significant inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 2 inputs include the following:

 

   

Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets,

 

   

Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets,

 

   

Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable, and

 

   

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 U.S. government, municipal bonds, structured notes, certain ABS (including

collateralized debt obligations, RMBS and CMBS), certain corporate debt, certain private equity investments, and certain derivatives.

Level 3

 

   

Valuation utilizes techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

These valuations reflect management’s opinions regarding the assumptions 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 commercial mortgages, certain corporate debt, certain private equity investments, certain mutual fund holdings, and certain derivatives.

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities classified by these levels as of December 31, 2018 were as follows:

The redemption period may be extended if there is a delay in liquidating underlying holdings within an investment. The investments are within the policyholders separate accounts so any fluctuation in NAV will result in a corresponding change in the policyholder reserve liability and therefore will have no impact on income.

None of the Company’s assets measured at fair value transferred between Levels 1 and 2 during the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

(a)—Other invested assets includes assets with a fair value of $105.8 million and $199.9 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017 respectively in limited partnership investments as they are valued using equity values which are a proxy for fair value. As of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there were $112.9 million and $121.3 million of unfunded commitments for limited partnership investments. The investments have liquidity restrictions consisting of either general partner approval or no ability for early redemption.

The methods and assumptions that the Company uses in determining the estimated fair value of its financial instruments are summarized below:

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.

Bonds—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, with the remaining unpriced securities priced using one of the other 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. 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 model prices or broker quotes. A portion of privately-placed fixed maturity securities (typically SEC Rule 144A securities) are priced using market prices. Also, a small subset of privately-placed fixed maturity securities are priced using matrix applications which take into account credit spreads for a variety of public and private securities of similar credit risk, maturity, prepayment and liquidity characteristics.

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.

Equity securities - The fair value of the Company’s equity securities not accounted for under the equity method is first based on quoted market prices. Similar to fixed maturity securities, the Company uses pricing services and broker quotes to price equity securities for which a quoted market price is not available.

Mortgage loans on real estate—The fair value of mortgage loans is 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.

Derivatives—The fair values of swaps, swaptions, and forwards 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.

Contract 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.

Other invested assets—Other invested assets (excluding investments accounted for under the equity method) include low income housing tax credits (“LIHTCs”), surplus debentures, collateral loans, and equipment lease trusts. The fair value of LIHTCs and equipment leases approximate their carrying values. The fair values of surplus debentures are obtained from third-party pricing services. Collateral loans are carried at amortized cost using pricing methods similar to private placements.

Separate Accounts—The estimated fair value of Separate Account assets and liabilities is determined using the same methodology described in Note 12. The difference between Separate Account assets and liabilities reflected in the chart above and the total recognized in the Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities and Capital and Surplus represents amounts that are attributable to non-financial instruments.

Contract holder deposit funds—The fair values of the Company’s General Account liabilities under investment- type contracts (insurance and annuity contracts that do not involve mortality or morbidity risks) is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or surrender values. Those contracts that are deemed to have short-term guarantees have a carrying amount equal to their estimated fair value.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

The application of SSAP No.101, “Income Taxes,” requires a company to evaluate the recoverability of DTAs and, if necessary, to establish a valuation allowance to reduce the DTA to an amount which is more likely than not to be realized.

Considerable judgment is required in determining whether a valuation allowance is necessary and, if so, the amount of such valuation allowance. Although the realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that DTAs will be realized. Therefore, the Company did not record a valuation allowance as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

The components of the Company’s DTAs and DTLs as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were as follows:

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“The Act”) was enacted that included a broad range of tax reform proposals affecting businesses, including a reduction of the corporate tax rate, repeal of the alternative minimum tax (AMT), the timing and amount of taxable income recognition and allowable deductions, and a new territorial tax system to address taxation of foreign earnings.

The Company has quantified the impact of these provisions, as applicable, in the following schedules and disclosures, as appropriate, consistent with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (SAB 118), as interpreted and adopted by NAIC SAPWG INT 18-01 on February 8, 2018.

The Company has accounted for the impact of the corporate tax rate change from 35% to 21% with respect to its deferred taxes. As a result of the decrease in the corporate tax rate, the Company recorded a net charge of $62.6 million through statutory surplus as of December 31, 2017. This included a charge of $83.4 million related to the re-measurement of gross deferred tax balances related to operations, and a benefit of $20.8 million related to unrealized gains and losses.

The Act modified the provisions applicable to the determination of the tax basis of policy contract reserves. Broadly, these modifications eliminate the prior law federally prescribed reserve and require determination of reserves, by contract, using NAIC reserving standards multiplied by a discount factor. The amount of the remeasurement included in the December 31, 2017 financial statements complies with the modifications of the Act.

At December 31, 2018, the Company had no net operating loss or capital loss carryforwards. At December 31, 2018, the Company had $21.0 million of foreign tax credit carryforward, which will begin to expire if not utilized, by 2019. At December 31, 2018, the Company has $13.4 million of LIHTC carryforward, which will begin to expire, if not utilized, by 2030. At December 31, 2018, the Company had $1.6 million minimum tax credit carryforward which due to the Act will be refunded starting 2019.

The Company has no deposits admitted under Section 6603 of the Internal Revenue code.

Tax years prior to 2013 are closed for audit or examination under the applicable statute of limitations. On August 8, 2017 the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) held open conference for tax years 2014 and 2015. The audit is ongoing and the Company has received information requests for those tax years. The Company does not believe it has any uncertain tax positions for its federal income tax return that would be material to its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Therefore, the Company did not record a liability for unrecognized tax benefits (“UTBs”) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017. As of December 31, 2018, there were no positions for which management believes it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of tax contingencies will significantly increase within 12 months of the reporting date.

The Company recognizes interest accrued related to UTBs in income tax expense. The Company had no accrued interest balance as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The Company recognized no gross interest benefit related to UTBs during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016. The Company has not accrued any penalties related to UTBs.

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017 AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018, 2017 AND 2016

 

 

The Company will file a consolidated federal income tax return for the December 31, 2018 tax year with its wholly-owned subsidiary, DLNY, and will continue to do so in future tax years under Internal Revenue Code Section 1504 (c)(1). A formal tax allocation agreement has been implemented, and the allocation is based upon separate return calculations with current credit (benefit) given for losses and tax attributes that are utilized by the consolidated group. Intercompany tax balances are settled on a quarterly basis and a final true up is made after the filing of the federal income tax return, as prescribed by the terms of the agreement.

CAPITAL STOCK AND SURPLUS AND DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS

The Company is authorized to issue 10,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $1,000 per share; 6,437 shares of common stock are issued and outstanding. The Company is not authorized to issue preferred stock.

The Company’s ability to pay dividends is subject to certain statutory restrictions. The State of Delaware has 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 the prior approval of the Delaware Commissioner of Insurance is limited to the greater of: (i) 10% of its statutory surplus as of the preceding December 31; or (ii) the Company’s statutory net gain from operations for the preceding calendar year. Any dividends to be paid by an insurer, whether or not in excess of the aforementioned threshold, from a source other than statutory surplus would also require the prior approval of the Commissioner. In connection with the Sale Transaction on August 2, 2013, any portion of a dividend which would cause the Company’s total adjusted capital as of the most recent calendar quarter end to fall below 300% of Company Action Level NAIC Risk-Based Capital as of such calendar quarter end, after taking into account the payment of such dividend, requires the prior approval of the Department.

In April 2018, October 2017 and April 2017, the Company paid an ordinary dividend $157.4 million, $100.0 million and $135.4 million, respectively, to the Parent. In March 2016, the Company paid a $200.0 million dividend to the Parent, of which $169.5 million was ordinary and $30.5 million extraordinary. In September 2016, the Company paid a $100.0 million extraordinary dividend to the Parent.

Risk-Based Capital

Life and health insurance companies are subject to certain Risk-Based Capital (“RBC”) requirements as specified by the NAIC. The RBC requirements provide a method for measuring the minimum acceptable amount of adjusted capital that a life insurer should have, as determined under statutory accounting principles, taking into account the risk characteristics of its investments and products. The Company exceeded the minimum RBC requirements at December 31, 2018 and 2017.

 

16.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Contingent Commitments

The Company had unfunded commitments for limited partnership investments of $112.9 million and $121.3 million as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

In December 2018, the Company committed to pay $19.4 million of capital contributions to CSHH.

Regulatory and Industry Developments

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. 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.

Various insolvencies reported by the National Organization of Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Associations will result in retrospective, premium-based guaranty fund assessments against the Company. Based on the best information available, the Company has recorded an accrued liability of $3.2 million for guaranty fund assessments as of December 31, 2018 and 2017. The Company does not know the period over which the guaranty fund assessments may be paid.

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not have any guaranty fund liabilities or assets related to assessments from insolvencies of entities that wrote long-term care contracts.

The Company has not established any asset for premium tax credits or policy surcharges as their recoveries are not estimable.

Litigation, Income Taxes, and Other Matters

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 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 made clear that IRS interpretations prior to Revenue Ruling 2007-54 should be followed until new regulations are issued.

On February 4, 2014, the IRS issued Revenue Ruling 2014-7, 2014-9I.R.B. 539, which stated that Revenue Ruling 2007-54 is thereby modified and superseded, and that Revenue Ruling 2007-61 is obsolete. Accordingly, the required interest holding, which was used in calculation of the Company’s share of DRD, is no longer a published position of the IRS and is viewed as effectively being revoked. Priority Guidance Plans released subsequent to the publication of Revenue Ruling 2014-7 do not include a project concerning the determination of the Company’s share under Section 812 of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”). On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“2017 Act”) was passed introducing a broad range of tax reform changes including resolution to the company share percentage issue. The 2017 Act replaced the prior law calculation of the Company’s share and policyholders’ share with a fixed percentage of 70% and 30%, respectively, effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company’s financial statements reflect benefits of $7.2 million and $11.7 million, respectively, related to the separate account DRD.

The Company is not aware of any contingent liabilities arising from litigation or other matters that could have a material effect upon the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.

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 estimable. Therefore, the Company has not recorded any associated liability.

Pursuant to the terms of the Sale Transaction, the acquired companies, including the Company and DLNY, and their respective affiliates are indemnified from and against (i) breach of customary representations, warranties and covenants of SLF and (ii) other specified matters, including losses arising from pending or threatened litigation as of the closing of the Sale Transaction (August 2, 2013), certain excluded assets that were transferred from the acquired companies to SLF’s affiliates at or prior to closing of the Sale Transaction, including the group insurance

Item 26. PERSONS CONTROLLED BY OR UNDER COMMON CONTROL WITH THE DEPOSITOR OR REGISTRANT

No person is directly or indirectly controlled by the Registrant. The Registrant is a separate account of the Depositor, Delaware Life Insurance Company, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Group One Thousand One, LLC.

The organization chart of Group One Thousand One, LLC, the Depositor and Registrant is incorporated herein by reference to Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form N-4, File No. 333-225901, filed on April 26, 2019.

None of the companies listed in such Exhibit 15 is a subsidiary of the Registrant; therefore, the only financial statements being filed are those of Delaware Life Insurance Company.

Item 27. NUMBER OF CONTRACT OWNERS

As of March 1, 2019, there were 4,648 qualified and 2,294 non-qualified contract owners.

Item 28. INDEMNIFICATION

Pursuant to Section 145 of the Delaware Corporation Law, Article 8 of the By-laws of Delaware Life Insurance Company (a copy of which was filed as Exhibit (6)(b) to Post-Effective Amendment No. 51 to the Registration Statement on Form N-4, File No. 333-83516, on August 11, 2014), provides for the indemnification of directors, officers and employees of Delaware Life Insurance Company. Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Delaware Life Insurance Company pursuant to the certificate of incorporation, by-laws, or otherwise, Delaware Life Insurance Company 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 Delaware Life Insurance Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, controlling person of Delaware Life Insurance Company 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, Delaware Life Insurance Company 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.
