DELAWARE LIFE MASTERS PRIME VARIABLE ANNUITY SM

Issued by

DELAWARE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

DELAWARE LIFE VARIABLE ACCOUNT F

Supplement Dated December 30, 2019 to

Prospectus dated April 30, 2019

THIS SUPPLEMENT SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CURRENT PROSPECTUS FOR YOUR CONTRACT DATED APRIL 30, 2019

This supplement contains certain information regarding changes to your Variable Account options and information regarding payments we receive from the Funds.

Defined terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Prospectus.

 

I.

Effective immediately the prospectus is amended as follows:

 

   

The Columbia Variable Portfolio - Asset Allocation Fund is removed as a Variable Account option. All references to the Fund in the prospectus are hereby deleted.

 

   

On pages 21 and 22, the section entitled “Payments We Receive” is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

Payments We Receive

The Funds’ investment advisers, transfer agents, underwriters and/or affiliates (“Fund Groups”) compensate us for providing administrative and recordkeeping services that they would normally be required to provide for individual shareholders or cost savings experienced by the Fund Groups. Such compensation is typically a percentage of Variable Account assets invested in a relevant Fund and generally may range up to 0.50% of net assets. In like manner, some Funds pay Rule 12b-1 fees to the Company or the principal underwriter of the Contracts for providing distribution and shareholder support services to the Funds, ranging up to 0.25% directly from the Funds in connection with a Rule 12b-1 Plan. If the Company or the principal underwriter receive Rule 12b-1 fees, combined compensation for administrative, distribution and recordkeeping related services ranges up to 0.55% annually of Variable Account assets invested in a Fund. Certain Fund Groups do not provide any compensation to us from Rule 12b-1 fees but provide up to .50% annually of Variable Account assets invested in a Fund.

These payments reflect in part expense savings by the Fund Groups for having, in the case of the Contracts, a sole shareholder, the Variable Account, rather than multiple shareholders in the Funds. Proceeds of these payments may be used for any corporate purpose, including the payment of expenses that Delaware Life and its affiliates incur in promoting, issuing, distributing and administering the Contracts. These payments are generally based on a percentage of the daily assets of the Funds under the Contracts and other variable contracts offered by Delaware Life and its affiliated insurers.


In addition, certain Fund Groups provide fixed dollar compensation to defray the cost of our marketing support and training services. These services may include various promotional, training or marketing meetings for distributors, wholesalers, and/or selling broker-dealers’ registered representatives, and creating materials describing the Contract, its features and the available investment options. Certain Fund Groups may also attend these meetings.

These payments create an incentive for us to offer Funds (or classes of shares of Funds) for which such payments are available to us. We consider such payments, among other things, when deciding to include a Fund (or class of shares of a Fund) as an investment option under the Contracts. Other available investment portfolios (or classes of shares of Funds) may have lower fees and better overall investment performance than the Funds (or classes of shares of the Funds) offered under the Contract.

If you purchased the Contract through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund Groups may pay the intermediary for services provided with regard to the sale of Fund shares in the Subaccounts under the Contract. The amount and/or structure of the compensation can possibly create a conflict of interest as it may influence the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to present this Contract (and certain Subaccounts under the Contract) over other investment alternatives. The variations in compensation, however, may also reflect differences in sales effort or ongoing customer services expected of the broker-dealer or other intermediary or your salesperson. You may ask your salesperson about such variations and how he or she and his or her broker-dealer or other financial intermediary are compensated for selling the Contract.

********************

II. Effective on or about January 31, 2020 the prospectus is amended as follows:

 

   

On the cover, the following is added as a Variable Account Option:

First Trust Variable Insurance Trust, Class I

First Trust/Dow Jones Dividend & Income Allocation Portfolio

 

   

On Pages 20-21, the section entitled “VARIABLE ACCOUNT OPTIONS: THE FUNDS” is amended to add (1) First Trust/Dow Jones Dividend & Income Allocation Portfolio as a Fund under the type “MODERATE ALLOCATION”; and to disclose that (2) First Trust Advisors L.P. advises the First Trust/Dow Jones Dividend & Income Allocation Portfolio.

 

   

On page 37, the section entitled “DESIGNATED INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS” is amended to add First Trust/Dow Jones Dividend & Income Allocation Portfolio as a Designated Investment Option under Category I.

THIS SUPPLEMENT SHOULD BE READ AND RETAINED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

Supplement dated December 30, 2019

to the Prospectus dated April 30, 2019

THIS SUPPLEMENT SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CURRENT

PROSPECTUS FOR YOUR CONTRACT DATED APRIL 30, 2019

This Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement (the “Supplement” or “Rate Sheet Supplement”) provides certain information contained in the Delaware Life Masters Prime Variable AnnuitySM Prospectus dated April 30, 2019 (the “Prospectus”). Capitalized terms not defined in this Supplement have the same meaning as set forth in the Prospectus.

We are issuing this Supplement to provide the current Lifetime Withdrawal Percentages (the “LW%”), Bonus Rates (“BR%”) associated with the GLWB, and the GLWB Fee that we are offering. This supplement replaces and supersedes any previously issued Rate Sheet Supplement(s) and must be accompanied by, and used in conjunction with, the current variable annuity prospectus. It should be read and retained with the current variable annuity prospectus.

If you would like another copy of the current Prospectus, including any historical rates and fees, please call us at (877) 253-2323. The Prospectus and this Supplement can also be found on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s website (www.sec.gov) by searching File No. 333-225901.

If we file a new Rate Sheet Supplement, the terms of this Supplement will be superseded by the terms of the new Supplement. The terms of a Rate Sheet Supplement with no specified end date may not be amended unless we provide a minimum of 10 business days prior notice. The LW% and BR% rates and GLWB Fee below apply for applications signed on or after October 3, 2018. We must also receive your completed application within 7 calendar days of signing and the Contract must be funded within 60 calendar days of signing. If these conditions are not met, your application will be considered not In Good Order. If you decide to proceed with the purchase of the Contract, additional paperwork may be required to issue the Contract with the applicable LW%, BR% rates and GLWB Fee in effect at that time.

LW%

The Lifetime Withdrawal Percentage is based on the age of the youngest GLWB Covered Person on the Income Start Date and on the date of any subsequent Step-Up, as shown in the table below.


Age on

Your Income Start Date and

any Subsequent

Step-Up date *

*

If you elect joint-life coverage, the age ranges are based upon the age of the younger spouse as described under “Joint-Life Coverage.”

BR%

On each Contract Anniversary during a Bonus Period, we will calculate a Bonus Amount that may be added to the Withdrawal Benefit Base. The Bonus Amount will be equal to the current Bonus Base multiplied by the Bonus Rate. Currently, the Bonus Rate is 6.25%.

GLWB FEE

The GLWB Fee is deducted from the Contract Value on the last Valuation Period of each Contract Quarter. The GLWB Fee is calculated by multiplying the GLWB Fee Rate by the Withdrawal Benefit Base. The GLWB Fee Rate is currently 0.30% (1.20% annually) and will never exceed the Maximum GLWB Fee Rate, currently 0.4875% (1.95% annually).

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.
