(1) The iShares Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement provides that Barclays Global Fund Advisors will pay all operating expenses of the fund, except interest expense and taxes (both expected to be de minimis), any brokerage expenses, future distribution fees or expenses and extraordinary expenses.

(2) The management fee accrues daily and is paid monthly in arrears to the fund’s sponsor at the annualized rate stated in the table multiplied by the adjusted net asset value of the trust.  The fee includes administrative and marketing expenses.

 

Brokerage Expenses

 

The brokerage expenses are incurred when each Subaccount buys or sells ETF shares to support the aggregate purchases, redemptions and transfers of Units by contract owners.  We expect that the brokerage expenses incurred by each Subaccount will be approximately $0.03 per share of ETF we buy or sell.  This cost is borne by contract owners of each Subaccount collectively, and will reduce the Unit Value.  This amount may increase or decrease over time.

 


(4) The ETF expenses were provided in the most recent ETF prospectuses.  We have not independently verified the information.  Current or future expenses may be greater or less than those shown.  More detail concerning each fund’s fees and expenses is contained in the prospectus for each ETF.

Examples

 

The examples that follow are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in this contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts.  Each example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the contract for the time period indicated.  Each example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, net of brokerage costs.  Your actual return may be higher or lower.

 

The following example includes the maximum mortality and expense risk charge, maximum ETF operating expenses, and withdrawal charges; it also assumes you elect the GLWB Plus Rider at the maximum cost.  If the current mortality and expense risk charge and current cost of the GLWB Plus Rider were used, the total cost would be less than indicated in this example.  Based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Summary of Contract

 

This Contract is an IRA

 

This contract is a variable annuity that must be issued as an Individual Retirement Annuity (IRA) as defined by section 408(b), 408A or 408(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Tax Code).  The contract itself does not provide the tax advantages typically provided by a variable annuity.  The tax advantages available with this contract exist solely through the contract’s qualification as an IRA.

 

You should read Part 8, “Tax Aspects of the Contract” for more information and consult a tax adviser.  Most of the withdrawals you make before you are 59½ years old are subject to a 10% federal tax penalty on the amounts withdrawn.

 

Parties to the Contract

 

·                  Integrity Life Insurance Company - “We,” “our,”  “us,”  “the Company” and “Integrity” mean Integrity Life Insurance Company.

·                  Owner - “You” and “your” mean the owner.  This variable annuity contract is a contract between you and us.  You, as the owner, have certain rights under the contract.  Because this contract is an IRA, joint owners are not allowed and you may not transfer ownership.

·                  Annuitant - The Annuitant, which must also be you, is the person whose life is used to determine the Maturity Date of the contract and the amount of the Annuity Benefit, when elected.  The Annuitant must be a natural person, and cannot be changed after the Contract Date.  Joint Annuitants are not allowed until an Annuity Benefit is elected and will have no effect until the Annuity Date.

·                  Beneficiary - the beneficiary is the person or persons you name to receive the Death Benefit upon your death prior to the Annuity Date.

·                  Custodial Account - If the contract is purchased through an established IRA custodial account, the contract owner will be considered the account, the Annuitant will generally be the account owner, and the account must be the beneficiary.

 

Your Rights and Benefits

 

As the owner of the contract, you have the following rights, subject to the rules and significant limitations stated in this prospectus:

 

·                  To contribute, transfer and withdraw money.  See Part 5

·                  To invest your premiums in the Subaccounts.  See Part 3

·                  To elect the optional Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Rider with Guaranteed Death Benefit (for an additional cost).  See Part 6

·                  To elect an Annuity Benefit.  See Part 5, section titled “Maturity Date and Annuity Benefit”

·                  To name one or more beneficiaries to receive the Death Benefit.  See Part 5, section titled “Death Benefit”

 

Investment Goals and Risks
 

This contract allows you to accumulate money for retirement or other long-term goals.  This contract is intended for long-term investing only and is not intended as a vehicle for frequent trading.  Transfers among Subaccounts are strictly limited under the terms of this contract.  See Part 5, section titled “Allocations and Transfers.”

 

An investment in any of the Subaccounts carries with it certain risks, including the risk that the value of your investment will decline and you could lose money.  The Subaccounts invest in ETFs, most of which invest in common stocks.  You could lose money if one of the issuers of the stocks in which your Subaccounts invest through its underlying ETF becomes financially impaired or if the market as a whole

 

iRI-10



 

declines.  There is also the inherent risk that holders of common stock generally are behind creditors and holders of preferred stock for payments in the event of the bankruptcy of a stock issuer.

 

For a complete discussion of the risks associated with investing in any particular Subaccount, see the prospectus of the corresponding ETF.

 

Subaccounts

 

You may invest in the Subaccounts available in this contract, which are listed in Part 3.  Each Subaccount invests in the shares of a distinct ETF.  The value of your Subaccount will vary due to the performance of the corresponding ETF and the market price of the ETF shares.

 

ETFs are pooled investment funds that sell shares, similar to mutual funds, but unlike mutual fund shares, ETF shares are traded throughout the day on exchanges, such as the American Stock Exchange.  ETF shares may trade at, above or below their net asset value.  ETFs usually seek investment results that correspond generally to an index.  The returns on the ETF shares will not precisely correlate with the performance of the index.  You cannot invest directly in an index.

 

Account Value and Surrender Value

 

Your Account Value consists of the values of your Subaccount Units added together.  Any amount allocated to a Subaccount will go up or down in value depending on the investment experience of the ETF and the market price of the ETF shares.  The value of premiums allocated to the Subaccounts is not guaranteed.  Your Account Value is subject to various charges.  See Part 4.

 

Your Surrender Value is equal to your Account Value, minus any withdrawal charges.  See Part 4.

 

Your minimum Account Value is $2,000.  If the Account Value goes below $2,000 and we have received no premiums from you for two years, we reserve the right to terminate the contract and pay you the Account Value.  We will notify you in advance and will give you at least 60 days to contribute additional premium.  This minimum does not apply if you have the GLWB Plus Rider.

 

Free Look Period

 

You may cancel your contract within ten days after you receive it by returning it to our Administrative Office by mail, postmarked within the ten-day period.  We will extend the ten day period if required by state law.  If you cancel your contract, we will return your Account Value, which will be your premium net of any investment performance of the Subaccounts and any applicable charges.  The Account Value may be more or less than your original premium.  You bear the investment risk during the Free Look Period, as well as any fees and charges incurred during the period your contract is in force.  See Part 4 for further discussion of the fees and charges.

 

If your state requires that we return at least the amount of your premium, we will return the greater of the amount required by state law and your Account Value.  In those states, during the Free Look Period, and for 4 days after the Free Look Period, we will hold your premiums in the iShares Lehman Short Treasury Bond Fund Subaccount.  The iShares Lehman Short Treasury Bond Fund is not a money market fund.  It does not seek to maintain a constant share price of $1.00 per share, and will fluctuate in value.  See Part 3 and the prospectus for the iShares Lehman Short Treasury Bond Fund for more information.  Upon the expiration of the Free Look Period, we will move your Account Value to the Subaccounts you selected.  If the Free Look Period expires on a day other than a Business Day, we will move your premium on the next Business Day.

Part 2 – Integrity and the Separate Account

 

Integrity Life Insurance Company

 

Integrity is a stock life insurance company organized under the laws of Arizona on May 3, 1966, and redomesticated to Ohio on January 3, 1995.  Our principal executive office is located at 400 Broadway, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202.  We are authorized to sell life insurance and annuities in 46 states and the District of Columbia.  Integrity is a subsidiary of The Western and Southern Life Insurance Company, a life insurance company organized under the laws of the State of Ohio on February 23, 1888.  The Western and Southern Life Insurance Company has guaranteed the insurance obligations of Integrity to its contract owners, including the owners of this contract (the Guarantee).  Insurance obligations include the optional guaranteed living benefit with guaranteed Death Benefit, and the Annuity Benefit, if elected.  The Guarantee does not guarantee the investment performance of the Subaccounts.  The Guarantee provides that contract owners can enforce the Guarantee directly.

Separate Account II of Integrity Life Insurance Company was established in 1992, and is maintained under the insurance laws of the State of Ohio.  The Separate Account is a unit investment trust, which is a type of investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act).  The Separate Account is divided into Subaccounts, each of which invests in shares of a distinct ETF.  We may add, substitute or close Subaccounts from time to time, and we may limit the amount of your investment in one or more of the Subaccounts on a nondiscriminatory basis.  The Subaccounts currently available to you are listed in Part 3.

 

Under Ohio law, we own the assets of our Separate Account and use them to support the Subaccounts of your contract and other variable annuity contracts.  You participate in the Separate Account in proportion to the amounts in your contract.

 

Income, gains and losses, whether realized or unrealized, from assets allocated to the Separate Account are credited to or charged against the Separate Account without regard to our other income, gains or losses.  The assets of the Separate Account may not be charged with the liabilities arising out of our other businesses.  We may allow fees that are owed to us to stay in the Separate Account, and, in that way, we can participate proportionately in the Separate Account.

 

Distribution of Variable Annuity Contracts

 

Touchstone Securities, Inc., an affiliate of Integrity, serves as the principal underwriter for our variable annuity contracts.  The principal business address of Touchstone Securities is 303 Broadway, Suite 1100, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202.  The contracts are sold by individuals who represent us as insurance agents and who are also registered representatives of broker-dealers or financial institutions that have entered into distribution agreements with us.

 

Changes in How We Operate

 

We can change how the Company or our Separate Account operates, subject to your approval when required by the 1940 Act or other applicable laws.  We will notify you if any changes result in a material change in the underlying investments of a SubaccountWe may:

 

·                  add, remove, change, combine or limit investment in Subaccounts or withdraw assets relating to your contract from one Subaccount and put them into another;

·                  register or end the registration of the Separate Account under the 1940 Act;

·                  operate our Separate Account under the direction of a committee or discharge a committee at any time (the committee may be composed of a majority of persons who are “interested persons” of Integrity);

·                  restrict or eliminate any voting rights of owners or others that affect our Separate Account;

 

iRI-12



 

·                  cause one or more Subaccounts to invest in an investment other than or in addition to the ETFs; or

·                  operate our Separate Account or one or more of the Subaccounts in any other form the law allows, including a form that allows us to make direct investments.  We may make any legal investments we wish.

 

PART 3 - Your Investment Options
 

You may invest your premiums to this contract in the Subaccounts, subject to any restrictions described in this prospectus.

 

Each Subaccount invests in the shares of a distinct ETF (also referred to as a “fund”).  The value of your Subaccount will vary with the performance of the corresponding ETF and the market price of the ETF shares.  For a full description of each ETF, see that ETF’s prospectus.

 

The Funds

 

A brief description of each fund and the name of the investment adviser or manager are provided below.  Each fund has risks associated with investing, which are described in that fund’s prospectus.  For a prospectus containing more complete information on any fund, call our Administrative Office toll-free at 1-800-325-8583.

 

iShares® Trust

 

iShares Trust (Trust) is a registered investment company that consists of separate investment portfolios called funds.  Barclays Global Fund Advisors (BGFA) is the investment adviser to each fund in the Trust.  The Trust funds in which the Subaccounts invest are listed below.  Each fund seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of an underlying index.

 

BGFA uses a “passive” or indexing approach to try to achieve each fund’s investment objective.  Unlike many investment companies, the fund does not try to “beat” the index it tracks.  Each fund generally invests at least 90% of its assets in securities of the underlying index and depositary receipts representing securities of the underlying index.  The fund may invest the remainder of its assets in securities not included in its underlying index but which BGFA believes will help the fund track its underlying index, and in futures contracts, options on futures contracts, options and swaps as well as cash and cash equivalents, including shares of money market funds advised by BGFA.  BGFA uses a representative sampling indexing strategy to manage each fund as described in the fund’s prospectus.

Part 4 - Deductions and Charges

 

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge

 

We deduct a daily charge equal to an annual effective rate of x% of your Account Value to cover mortality and expense risk and certain administrative expenses.  The mortality and expense risk charge may be increased to the maximum charge of 1.75% of your Account Value at any time upon advance notice to you.  We will not unlawfully discriminate against any person or group if we increase these charges.

 

A portion of the mortality and expense risk charge pays us for assuming the mortality risk and the expense risk under the contract.  The mortality risk, as used here, refers to the risk we take that annuitants, as a class of persons, will live longer than estimated and we will be required to pay out more Annuity Benefits than anticipated.  The expense risk is the risk that the actual expenses of administering and distributing the contract will exceed the reimbursement for administrative expenses.  We expect to make a profit from this fee.

 

Reduction of the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge

 

We can reduce or eliminate the mortality and expense risk charge for individuals or groups of individuals if we anticipate expense savings.  We may do this based on the size and type of the group or the amount of the premiums.  We will not unlawfully discriminate against any person or group if we reduce or eliminate these charges.

 

Fund Expenses

 

The net asset value of the ETF shares reflects investment management fees and other expenses that have already been deducted from the assets of the ETFs.  Please refer to the ETF prospectuses for complete details on ETF expenses and related items.

 

Brokerage Expenses

 

We expect that the brokerage expenses incurred by each Subaccount will be approximately $0.03 for each ETF share we buy or sell.  This amount may increase or decrease over time.  The brokerage

 

iRI-15



 

expenses are incurred when each Subaccount buys or sells ETF shares to support the contract owners’ purchases, redemptions and transfers of Units.  Purchases, redemptions and transfers of Units by the contract owners invested in a Subaccount will be aggregated each Business Day and a net buy or sell of the ETF shares held in each Subaccount will be executed the following Business Day to support the aggregate transactions.  For each ETF share purchased or sold, the brokerage fee of approximately $0.03 will be paid by the Subaccount.  This cost is borne by contract owners of each Subaccount collectively, and will reduce the Unit Value.

 

Withdrawal Charge

 

If you withdraw your premiums, you may be charged a withdrawal charge of up to 7% of the premium.  The amount of the withdrawal charge is a percentage of each premium and not of the Account Value.  As shown below, the charge varies, depending upon the “age” of the premiums included in the withdrawal - that is, the number of years that have passed since each premium was paid.

The maximum of 7% would apply if the entire amount of the withdrawal consisted of premiums made during the current Contract Year.  Withdrawal charges apply to the withdrawal charge amount itself since this amount is part of the Account Value withdrawn.

 

We do not deduct a withdrawal charge when you withdraw premiums made more than five years prior to your withdrawal.  For purposes of determining the application of withdrawal charges, the oldest premiums are treated as the first withdrawn and more recent premiums next.

 

A withdrawal charge is not deducted from your premium when you withdraw up to the Free Withdrawal Amount.  See Part 5, section titled “Free Withdrawal Amount.”

 

We will not deduct a withdrawal charge from:

 

 

·

the Death Benefit; or

 

·

a withdrawal used to buy an immediate Annuity Benefit from us with either (i) life contingencies, or (ii) a restricted payment option that provides for level payments over ten or more years.

 

Reduction or Elimination of the Withdrawal Charge

 

We can reduce or eliminate the withdrawal charge for individuals or a group of individuals if we anticipate expense savings.  We may do this based on the size and type of the group, the amount of the premium, or whether there is some relationship with us.  Examples of these relationships would include being an employee of Integrity or an affiliate, receiving distributions or making internal transfers from other contracts we issued, or transferring amounts held under qualified plans that we, or our affiliate, sponsored.  We will not unlawfully discriminate against any person or group if we reduce or eliminate the withdrawal charge.

 

Hardship Waiver

 

We may waive the withdrawal charge on full or partial withdrawal requests of $1,000 or more under a hardship circumstance.  Hardship circumstances may include the owner’s (1) confinement to a nursing home, hospital or long term care facility, or (2) diagnosis of terminal illness with any medical condition that

 

iRI-16



 

would result in death or total disability.  We require reasonable notice and documentation including, but not limited to, a physician’s certification.

 

Commission Allowance and Additional Payments to Distributors

 

We generally pay a commission to the sales representative equal to a maximum of x% of premiums, which may include up to x% trail commission paid on Account Value starting in the second or later Contract Year.  Commissions may vary due to differences between states, sales channels, sales firms and special sales initiatives.

 

A broker-dealer or financial institution that distributes our variable annuity contracts may receive additional compensation from us for training, marketing or other services provided.  These services may include special access to sales staff, and advantageous placement of our products.  We do not make an independent assessment of the cost of providing such services.

 

Integrity has agreements with the following broker-dealer firms under which we pay varying amounts on premiums paid, but no more than 0.25%, for enhanced access to their registered representatives.  The broker-dealer firms are American Portfolios Financial, Cadaret, Grant & Co., Inc., Cadaret Grant Agency, Central Jersey Financial, Investacorp, Inc., Linsco Private Ledger, Securities America Inc., Summit Equities, Stifel, Nicolaus and Company, and Sterne, Agee & Leach.

 

Depending on the arrangements in place at any particular time, a broker-dealer, and the registered representatives associated with it, may have a financial incentive to recommend a particular variable annuity contract.  This could be considered a conflict of interest.  You can find more about additional compensation in the Statement of Additional Information.

 

Optional Benefit Charges

 

You may purchase the GLWB Plus Rider offered with this contract, which provides optional benefits for an additional cost.  The additional cost of the Rider, along with complete details about its benefits, is provided in Part 6.

 

Tax Reserve

 

We can make a charge in the future for taxes or for reserves set aside for taxes, which will reduce the investment performance of the Subaccounts.

 

State Premium Tax

 

We will not deduct state premium taxes from your premiums before investing them in the Subaccounts, unless required by your state law.  If you elect an Annuity Benefit, we will deduct any applicable state premium taxes from the amount available for the Annuity Benefit.  State premium taxes currently range from 0 to 3.5%.

 

Part 5 - Terms of Your Variable Annuity

 

Purchasing the Contract

 

If you wish to purchase a contract, you must apply for it through an authorized sales representative.  The sales representative will send your completed application to us, and we will decide whether to accept or reject it.  If we accept your application, we will issue a contract and send it to you either directly or through your sales representative.

 

To apply for a contract, you must be of legal age to enter into a contractual relationship under applicable state law.  You must be no older than 80 at the time of application.

 

iRI-17



 

This contract must be issued as an IRA.  Subject to various rules and limitations, the Tax Code permits you to transfer or rollover money tax-free from one IRA to another IRA or from certain other qualified plans, such as a 401(k) Plan, to an IRA.  See Part 8.  Before making an exchange to acquire this contract, you should carefully compare this contract to your current contract.  You may have to pay a surrender charge under your current contract to exchange it for this contract and this contract has its own surrender charges that would apply to you.  The other fees and charges under this contract may be higher (or lower), and the benefits may be different, than those of your current contract.  In addition, you may have to pay federal income and penalty taxes on the exchange if it does not qualify for tax-free transfer or rollover treatment.  You should not exchange another contract for this contract unless you determine that the exchange is in your best interest.  Please note that the person who sells you this contract generally will earn a commission on the sale.  You should also consult a tax adviser before attempting a tax-free transfer or rollover.

 

Premium Payments

Minimum additional premium

 

$1,000

Maximum total premium without prior approval

 

$1,000,000

Maximum additional premium

 

up to applicable IRA limits each calendar year plus permissible transfer and rollovers

 

Because the initial premium must be $25,000 or more, the Contract can only be purchased by transfer or rollover from an existing IRA or from certain other qualified plans, such as a 401(k) Plan.  You can make subsequent premium payments at any time before age 90, or earlier if limited by the Tax Code.  For example, you cannot make new contributions other than transfers and rollovers to a traditional IRA after age 70½.

 

The contract owner must determine whether any premium qualifies as a permissible contribution subject to favorable tax treatment under the Tax Code.  The contract owner must also determine whether such amount qualifies as a permissible rollover contribution for income tax purposes.

 

We may refuse additional premiums if: (1) we previously discontinued accepting additional premiums into a Subaccount and provided you with advance notice; (2) the additional premium does not meet our minimum additional premium amount for the annuity contract or for a specific Subaccount; (3) the total premiums paid under all annuity contracts issued by us, or our affiliates, on your life exceed $1,000,000; or (4) for any reason allowed by law.

 

In certain states, your initial premium will not be invested in the Subaccounts you select until 4 days after the Free Look Period.  See Part 1, section titled “Free Look Period.”  After the Free Look Period plus 4 days, your initial premium is invested in the Subaccounts you selected on your application.

 

Each additional premium will be credited to your Subaccount under your current allocation as of the date we have received the premium in good order at our Administrative Office.  If you submit a different allocation, a 90-day waiting period will start before you can make a subsequent transfer or allocation change.  See Part 5, section titled “Allocations and Transfers.”

 

Wire transfers are deemed received on the day of transmittal if credited to our account by 3 p.m. Eastern Time, otherwise they are deemed received on the next Business Day.  Premiums by check sent through the mail are deemed received when they are delivered in good order to our Administrative Office.

 

Different premium limits apply if you select the GLWB.  See Part 6.

 

iRI-18



 

Units in Our Separate Account

 

Your investment in the Subaccounts is used to purchase Units.  On any given day, the value you have in a Subaccount is the number of Units credited to you in that Subaccount multiplied by the Unit Value.  The Units of each Subaccount have a different Unit Value.

 

Units are purchased when you contribute new premium to your contract or transfer amounts to a Subaccount.  Units are redeemed (sold) when you make withdrawals or transfer amounts out of a Subaccount into a different Subaccount.  We also redeem Units to pay the Death Benefit or if you elect an Annuity Benefit.  The number of Units purchased or redeemed in any Subaccount is calculated by dividing the dollar amount of the transaction by the next computed Unit Value for that Subaccount.

 

Each Unit represents a fractional undivided interest in the assets held in the related Subaccount.  If Units of any Subaccount are redeemed, the fractional undivided interest represented by each remaining Unit will be increased.  If additional Units are issued by any Subaccount, the fractional undivided interest of the assets represented by each Unit will be decreased.  Units will remain outstanding until redeemed by a contract owner.

 

The assets held in each Subaccount consist of shares of a distinct type of ETF and a small amount of cash (Remainder Cash).  Remainder Cash is the cash remaining each Business Day after the ETF shares are purchased or sold.  Remainder Cash will be less than the price of one ETF share at the time the Subaccount trades on that Business Day.  Each Subaccount will also accrue for any dividends declared by the corresponding ETF, and will reinvest the dividend in the ETF on the next Business Day after payment.

 

We use the net asset value of each ETF to value your Units.  The net asset value of the ETF shares is calculated daily by the fund and closely corresponds to the ending price of the ETF at the close of the American Stock Exchange for each Business Day.

 

During each Business Day, we will accept purchase, redemption and transfer orders for each Subaccount from all contract owners and credit or debit the Units in each Subaccount according to the individual contract owner’s transaction request.  Units are credited or debited based on the next computed Unit Value.  We then aggregate all transactions of contract owners in a Subaccount and on the next Business Day, we make a net buy or sell of the corresponding ETF shares to support these aggregated transactions.  We will buy or sell each ETF at its market price at the opening of the American Stock Exchange or as soon as possible thereafter.  The price at which we purchase or sell the ETF shares may be more or less than the net asset value of the shares, which we use to value your Units.  This difference will result in an increase or decrease in the value of your Units.

 

How We Determine Unit Value

 

The Unit Value of each Subaccount will fluctuate with the investment performance of the corresponding ETF, which reflects the investment income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the ETF, the ETF’s expenses, and the market price of the ETF shares.  We also take into account a daily accrual for declared dividends and the Remainder Cash; we also charge or credit for any taxes or amounts set aside as a reserve for taxes on that day.

 

We determine Unit Values for each Subaccount after the close of business of the American Stock Exchange, which is normally 4 p.m. Eastern Time on each Business Day.  The Unit Value of each Subaccount for any Business Day is equal to the Unit Value for the previous Business Day, multiplied by the net investment factor for that Subaccount on the current Business Day.  The net investment factor is an index used to measure the investment performance of a Subaccount from one Business Day to the next.  We determine the net investment factor by dividing the net asset value in the Subaccount for that valuation period by the net asset value in the subaccount for the preceding valuation period.  We subtract from that result the daily equivalent of the mortality and expense risk charge for each calendar day since the last day that a Unit Value was determined (for example, a Monday calculation will include charges for

 

iRI-19



 

Saturday and Sunday).

 

Generally, this means that we adjust Unit Values to reflect the change in value of the ETF shares, for the mortality and expense risk charge and, if elected, the GLWB Plus Rider charge.

 

Allocations and Transfers

 

Only one investment allocation may be in place at any time.  This allocation applies to your current investment, future premiums, and rebalancing.

 

You may reallocate all of your Account Value or transfer all or any part of your Account Value among the Subaccounts, subject to the following transfer restrictions:

 

·                  90-day waiting period between transfer and allocation changes

 

·                  A 90-day waiting period will apply from the date the contract is issued.  This means you must wait 90 days before you make any subsequent transfer or allocation change.

·                  A 90-day waiting period will apply after any voluntary transfer or allocation change.  This means you must wait 90 days from the date you make a transfer or allocation change until you are allowed to make any subsequent transfer or allocation change.

·                  Automatic rebalancing, any fund substitution, the addition or cancellation of the GLWB Plus Rider and the Free Look Period transfer, if applicable, does not restart the 90-day waiting period.

·                  We may reduce the 90-day waiting period on a nondiscriminatory basis.

 

·                  Additional restrictions:

 

·                  The amount transferred must be at least $250 or, if less, the entire amount in the Subaccount.

·                  Transfers are restricted further if you have the GLWB Plus Rider.  See Part 6.

 

To request a reallocation or transfer, you may write to our Administrative Office at the address in the Glossary.  Mail sent to any other address may not be in good order.  Each request for a reallocation or transfer must specify:

 

·                  the contract number

·                  the amounts to be transferred, and

·                  the Subaccounts to and from which the amounts are to be transferred.

 

If one portion of a transfer request involving multiple Subaccounts violates our policy or is not in good order, the entire transfer request will not be processed.  You will need to resubmit a transfer request that is in good order for your transfer to be processed.

 

You may also request a reallocation or transfer through our telephone transfer service using your personal identifiers.  We will honor telephone instructions from any person who provides correct identifying information.  We are not responsible for fraudulent telephone transfers we believe to be genuine according to these procedures.  Accordingly, you bear the risk of loss if unauthorized persons make reallocations or transfers on your behalf.

 

Telephone allocations or transfers may be requested from 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on any day we are open for business.  If we receive your request before 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (or the close of the American Stock Exchange, if earlier) on a Business Day, you will receive the Unit Values for the Subaccounts as of the close of business on the day you call.  Requests received by us at or after 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (or the close of the American Stock Exchange, if earlier) on a Business Day, or received on a day other than a Business Day, will be processed using Unit Values as of the close of business on the next Business Day after the day you call.  All transfers will be confirmed in writing.

 

Detrimental Effect of Trading on Unit Values

 

This contract is intended for long-term investing only and is not intended as a vehicle for frequent trading. 

 

iRI-20



 

Transfers among Subaccounts are strictly limited under the terms of this contract.  See Part 5, section titled “Allocations and Transfers.”  We reserve the right to refuse any transfer request for an owner or certain owners if we believe in our sole discretion that a specific transfer request or group of transfer requests may have a detrimental effect on Unit Values.

 

We will notify you or your designated representative if your requested transfer is not made.  Current SEC rules preclude us from processing your request at a later date if it is not made when initially requested.  Accordingly, you will need to submit a new transfer request in order to make a transfer that was not made because of these limitations.

 

Specific Notice Regarding the Use of this Annuity for Market Timing or Frequent Trading

 

This contract is not designed to serve as a vehicle for trading in response to short-term fluctuations in the market.  Any individual or legal entity that intends to engage in stale price arbitrage, utilize market timing practices or make frequent transfers to take advantage of inefficiencies in pricing or for any other reason should not purchase this contract.

 

If we determine, in our sole discretion, that a contract owner is attempting to engage in improper trading, we reserve the right to revoke their same-day transfer privileges and require their trades to be submitted via U.S. Mail.  We may modify these restrictions at any time in our sole discretion.

 

Withdrawals

 

You may make withdrawals as often as you wish.  Each withdrawal must be at least $250.  The withdrawal will be taken from your Subaccounts, pro rata, in the same proportion their value bears to your total Account Value.  For example, if your Account Value is divided in equal 25% shares among four Subaccounts, when you make a withdrawal, 25% of the Account Value will come from each of your four Subaccounts.  You can tell us if you want your withdrawal handled differently.

 

For partial withdrawals, the total amount deducted from your Account Value will be the withdrawal amount requested, plus any withdrawal charge that applies (see Part 4, “Withdrawal Charge”), plus any required tax withholding, unless you request otherwise.  Withdrawal are handled differently if you elect the GLWB Plus rider.  See Part 6.

 

Most of the withdrawals you make before you are 59½ years old are subject to a 10% federal tax penalty.  See Part 8.

 

Free Withdrawal Amount

 

You may take your Free Withdrawal Amount each Contract Year without paying a withdrawal charge.  The Free Withdrawal Amount is the greatest of:

 

·                  Any amount withdrawn to meet your required minimum distribution (RMD) under the Tax Code for this contract only; or

·                  10% of your Account Value during a Contract Year as measured at the time of your withdrawal, less any previous partial withdrawals during that Contract Year; or

·                  10% of your Account Value at your most recent Contract Anniversary.  (During your first Contract Year, the Free Withdrawal Amount is 10% of your initial premium received on the Contract Date.)

 

If you do not take the Free Withdrawal Amount in any one Contract Year, you cannot add it to the next year’s Free Withdrawal Amount.

 

Taking your Free Withdrawal Amount will not reduce the total withdrawal charges applicable to your contract. If you completely surrender the contract, you will not receive your Free Withdrawal Amount as part of the surrender; we will assess any applicable withdrawal charge on the total amount of your premiums.  If you

 

iRI-21



 

completely surrender the contract in the same Contract Year in which you have taken your Free Withdrawal Amount, we will apply a withdrawal charge as though the complete surrender included the Free Withdrawal Amount.

 

Your financial professional or a third party may offer you asset allocation or investment advisory services for your contract.  Fees you pay for such investment advisory services are in addition to any contract charges.  If you want to pay for such services from your Account Value, you must complete a form authorizing us to pay the amount requested by the third party from your Account Value.  These payments are withdrawals from your Account Value and will be subject to any applicable withdrawal charges and the 10% federal tax penalty for early withdrawals prior to age 59½.  We will withdraw the requested payment according to the third party’s instructions (including instructions about which Subaccounts to withdraw the fee from) and send you a confirmation of the transaction.  We will not verify the accuracy of the amount being requested.

 

Additional restrictions and penalties apply to withdrawals if you have the GLWB Plus Rider.  See Part 6.

 

Assignments

 

This contract is an IRA and you are not legally permitted to assign, pledge or otherwise transfer the contract.  Pledging or assigning an IRA can cause loss of qualified status and result in some or all of the Account Value being included in your income, and a 10% federal tax penalty may also apply.

 

Death Benefit

 

We will pay the Death Benefit to your properly designated beneficiary if you die before the Annuity Date.

 

The Death Benefit amount will be equal to the Account Value on the Business Day we receive due proof of your death and the beneficiary’s election in good order.  This means we have received an original certified death certificate and company death claim paperwork that is in good order, including the beneficiary’s election.

 

During the period from the date of death until we receive all required paperwork in good order, the Account Value will remain invested in the Subaccounts as allocated by you at the time of your death.  As a result, the Account Value continues to reflect the investment performance of the Subaccounts during this period and will be subject to market fluctuations.  Fees and expenses will continue to apply.  We will stop all pending automatic transactions, including Dollar Cost Averaging or rebalancing, on the date we first receive notice of your death.

 

If there are multiple beneficiaries, after one beneficiary submits death claim paperwork, the Death Benefit will be calculated and the first beneficiary will receive payment according to his election.  The balance of the Death Benefit amount will remain invested in the Subaccounts as you had allocated at the time of your death.

 

The Death Benefit is required to be distributed in one of the following ways:

 

·                  One time payment in a lump sum;

·                  Full distribution within five years;

·                  Paid over the life of the beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of that beneficiary, as long as distributions begin by December 31 of the year after the owner’s death; or

·                  As an Annuity Benefit.

 

A beneficiary that is not a natural person must take a full distribution within five years.

 

iRI-22



 

If your sole beneficiary is your spouse, the contract may be continued in your spouse’s name as the owner.

 

You may name one or more beneficiaries as primary or contingent beneficiaries.  The Death Benefit will be paid to your primary beneficiaries who are alive at the time of your death.  If no primary beneficiary survives your death, then the Death Benefit will be paid to your contingent beneficiaries, if any.  If no contingent beneficiary survives your death or none has been named, the Death Benefit will be paid to your estate.

 

If multiple beneficiaries in either category (primary or contingent) are named, the Death Benefit will be split into equal shares among the beneficiaries in that category who are alive at the time of your death, unless you specify otherwise in your beneficiary designation.

 

If you die on or after the Annuity Date and before the entire interest in the contract has been distributed, then the rest of the annuity must be distributed to the beneficiary at least as quickly as the method in effect when you died.

 

You may change any beneficiary by sending the appropriate form in good order to the Administrative Office.  We reserve the right to limit the number of beneficiaries you can name at one time.  Please consult your financial professional and tax adviser to properly identify your beneficiaries so that the Death Benefit is paid as you intend.  Please be sure to name your spouse as your sole beneficiary so that spousal continuation of the contract can occur, if that is your intention.  You may wish to name a contingent beneficiary in case your spouse dies before you.

 

Maturity Date and Annuity Benefit

 

Your Annuity Benefit is available anytime after your first Contract Anniversary up until the Annuitant’s 100th birthday.  The Annuitant’s 100th birthday is referred to as the Maturity Date.  You may elect your Annuity Benefit by writing to the Administrative Office any time after your first Contract Anniversary and before the Maturity Date.  Upon the Maturity Date, you may elect to receive a lump sum of your Surrender Value, or you may elect an Annuity Benefit.

 

The amount applied toward the purchase of an Annuity Benefit will be the Account Value, except that the Surrender Value will be the amount applied if the Annuity Benefit does not have a life contingency and either (i) the term is less than five years, or (ii) the annuity can be changed to a lump sum payment without a withdrawal charge.

 

An Annuity Benefit can provide for fixed payments, which may be made monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually.  You cannot change or redeem the annuity once payments have begun.  For any annuity, the minimum initial payment must be at least $100 monthly.

 

We currently offer the following types of annuities, funded through our general account:

 

·                  Life and ten years certain annuity, which provides a fixed life income annuity with 10 years of payments guaranteed.

·                  Period certain annuity, which provides for fixed payments for a fixed period.  The amount is determined by the period you select when you select the type of annuity you want.  If the Annuitant dies before the end of the period selected, the beneficiary will receive the remaining periodic payments.

·                  Period certain life annuity, which provides for fixed payments for at least the period selected and after that for the life of the Annuitant or the lives of the Annuitant and any joint Annuitant under a joint and survivor annuity.  If the Annuitant (or the Annuitant and the joint Annuitant under a joint and survivor annuity) dies before the period selected ends, the remaining payments will go to the beneficiary.

·                  Life income annuity, which provides fixed payments for the life of the Annuitant, or until the Annuitant and joint Annuitant both die under a joint and survivor annuity.

 

iRI-23



 

If you have not already selected a form of Annuity Benefit, we will contact you prior to your Maturity Date.  You can tell us at that time the type of annuity you want or confirm to us that you want the normal form of annuity, which is the life and ten years certain annuity.  However, if we do not receive your election on or before your Maturity Date, you will automatically receive a lump sum payout of your account value.

 

Annuity Benefit Payments

 

Annuity Benefit payments will not change and are based upon annuity rates provided in your contract.  The size of payments will depend on the amount of the Account Value applied to the Annuity Benefit, the form of Annuity Benefit you chose and, in the case of an Annuity Benefit with life contingencies, on the Annuitant’s age.  If our annuity rates then in effect would yield a larger payment, those rates will apply instead of the rates provided in your contract.

 

If the age of an Annuitant has been misstated, any benefits will be those that would have been purchased at the correct age.  Any overpayments or underpayments made by us will be charged or credited with interest at the rate required by your state.  If we have made overpayments because of incorrect information about age, we’ll deduct the overpayment from the next payment or payments due.  We add underpayments to the next payment.

 

Timing of Payment

 

We normally apply your Account Value to the purchase of an Annuity Benefit, or send you partial or total withdrawals, within seven days after receipt of the required form at our Administrative Office.  However, we can defer our action for any period during which:

 

(1)

 

the New York Stock Exchange has been closed or trading on it is restricted;

 

 

 

(2)

 

an emergency exists as determined by the SEC so that disposal of securities is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable for the Separate Account fairly to determine the value of its net assets; or

 

 

 

(3)

 

the SEC, by order, permits us to defer action in order to protect persons with interests in the Separate Account.

 

 

How You Make Requests and Give Instructions

 

When you write to our Administrative Office, use the address listed in the Glossary of this prospectus.  We cannot honor your requests unless they are in proper and complete form.  Whenever possible, use one of our printed forms, which may be obtained from our Administrative Office.

 

PART 6 – OPTIONAL BENEFITS

 

You may purchase the Rider offered with this contract, which provides optional benefits for an additional cost.  Benefits under the Rider will replace or supplement the standard contract benefits.  Charges for the optional benefit Rider are in addition to the standard contract charges.  Be sure you understand the charges.  Carefully consider whether you need the benefit and whether it is appropriate for your particular circumstances.  Also consider whether you can buy the benefit more cheaply as part of the variable annuity or with a separate contract.

 

Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Plus Rider

 

The Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Plus (GLWB Plus) is an optional Rider you may purchase for an additional charge.  The GLWB Plus Rider may be elected at the time of application, or added at a later date, as long as we are still offering the Rider.  The date we issue the GLWB Plus Rider is called the

 

iRI-24



 

“GLWB Rider Effective Date.”

 

The GLWB Plus Rider:

 

·                  Guarantees lifetime payments to you regardless of how your investments perform.

·                  Guarantees a minimum Death Benefit as explained below.

 

Please note that if you take Nonguaranteed Withdrawals, as explained below, your lifetime payments and guaranteed Death Benefit will decrease and the Rider may terminate.

 

Lifetime Payout Amount

 

The amount you can receive each calendar year for your lifetime is called a Lifetime Payout Amount (LPA.)  The date you are eligible to begin receiving your LPA is called the “LPA Eligibility Date.”  The LPA Eligibility Date is the earlier of the following:

 

·                  January 1st after the calendar year in which you turn age 60 (if your birthday is on January 1st your LPA will be available beginning on that day); or

·                  The GLWB Rider Effective Date if you are age 60 or older at the time we add the GLWB Plus Rider to your contract.  The LPA available during the calendar year in which you add the GLWB Plus Rider will be pro rated for the portion of the calendar year remaining.

 

We calculate your LPA on the following dates even if you have not reached your LPA Eligibility Date:

 

1.               On the day following the GLWB Rider Effective Date;

2.               On each Contract Anniversary; and

3.               On the date of any Nonguaranteed Withdrawal (described below)

 

On the GLWB Rider Effective Date and each Contract Anniversary, your LPA is the greater of:

 

·                  The existing LPA, if any; or

·                  Your Account Value multiplied by your Withdrawal Percentage, which is determined by your age on the calculation date, as follows:

 

Age of Owner

 

Withdrawal Percentage

 

55 - 64

 

4.50

%

65 - 69

 

5.00

75 - 79

 

6.00

%

80 - 84

 

6.50

%

85 and above

 

7.00

%

 

On or after the LPA Eligibility Date, you can withdraw the LPA.  On each Contract Anniversary, we recalculate the LPA for the following calendar year.

 

·                  If the recalculated LPA is greater than your existing LPA, the greater amount will be available beginning on the following January 1st, subject to adjustment for any Nonguaranteed Withdrawal (described below.)

·                  If the recalculated LPA is less than your existing LPA, your LPA will remain the same for the following calendar year, subject to adjustment for any Nonguaranteed Withdrawal (described below.)

 

Nonguaranteed Withdrawal

 

Before your LPA Eligibility Date, a Nonguaranteed Withdrawal is the total amount of any withdrawal, including any withdrawal charges.

 

iRI-25



 

After your LPA Eligibility Date, a Nonguaranteed Withdrawal is all or a portion of any withdrawal that, when combined with your total withdrawals for that calendar year, exceeds your LPA, plus any withdrawal charges.

 

If you take a Nonguaranteed Withdrawal, your LPA will immediately be reduced by the proportion of the Nonguaranteed Withdrawal amount (including withdrawal charges, if any) to the Account Value, measured after subtracting the LPA, but just prior to subtracting the Nonguaranteed Withdrawal amount.

 

For example, if your Account Value is $75,000 and your LPA is $5,000, and you take one withdrawal during the calendar year in the amount of $6,000, assuming no withdrawal charges apply:

 

·                  Your Account Value will be reduced by $6,000, to $69,000

·                  Your LPA will be reduced by $71.43, to $4,928.57 and will be available in the next calendar year

 

The reduction in the LPA is calculated as follows:

 

$1000   /

$70,000          =

0.0142857     x

$5,000     =

$71.43

Nonguaranteed Withdrawal amount ($6000 total withdrawal less $5,000 LPA)

Account Value after subtracting the LPA but just prior to subtracting the Nonguaranteed Withdrawal amount

 

LPA

Reduction in LPA

 

A Nonguaranteed Withdrawal also reduces the GLWB Death Benefit proportionally.  See section titled “GLWB Death Benefit” below.

 

The LPA is not cumulative.  If you withdraw less than the LPA in any calendar year, you cannot carry over or add the remaining LPA to withdrawals made in future years.

 

Other Important Facts about Withdrawals:

 

·                  You will not receive the intended benefit of this Rider if you take Nonguaranteed Withdrawals.  Nonguaranteed Withdrawals can have a significant negative effect on your LPA and your GLWB Death Benefit.

 

·                  Withdrawal charges may apply.  If you withdraw more than your Free Withdrawal Amount (10% of the Account Value in any Contract Year, or your RMD under the Tax Code) but the withdrawal does not exceed your LPA, any applicable withdrawal charge will be waived.  If you withdraw more than the Free Withdrawal Amount and any portion of the withdrawal is a Nonguaranteed Withdrawal, withdrawal charges, if any, will be applied under the terms of the contract.  See Part 4, “Withdrawal Charge” and Part 5, “Withdrawals.”

 

·                  Withdrawals must be taken pro-rata from your Subaccounts.  You cannot make a withdrawal from specific Subaccounts.

 

·                  If you request a withdrawal, we will withdraw the total amount you requested from your Account Value, however the amount you receive will be net of tax withholding and withdrawal changes, if applicable.

 

GLWB Death Benefit

 

The GLWB Death Benefit guarantees that at the owner’s death while the Rider is in effect and prior to the Maturity Date, the beneficiary may choose either:

 

·                  the Death Benefit otherwise payable under the contract; or

·                  the GLWB Death Benefit.

 

iRI-26



 

The initial GLWB Death Benefit is equal to the Account Value on the GLWB Rider Effective Date.  Subsequently, the GLWB Death Benefit will increase dollar-for-dollar by the amount of any additional premium payment.

 

The GLWB Death Benefit will be reduced for withdrawals as follows:

 

·                  For withdrawal of the LPA (or RMD for this contract only), the GLWB Death Benefit will be reduced dollar-for-dollar.

 

·                  For withdrawal of any Nonguaranteed Withdrawal amount, the GLWB Death Benefit will be reduced in proportion to the amount of Account Value withdrawn, but no less than dollar-for-dollar.  For purposes of determining this proportion, the Account Value will be measured after subtracting the LPA, but just prior to subtracting the Nonguaranteed Withdrawal amount.  This means that your GLWB Death Benefit will be reduced by the same percentage as the Nonguaranteed Withdrawal amount (including any withdrawal charges) bears to your Account Value at the time of Nonguaranteed Withdrawal, but no less than the amount of the Nonguaranteed Withdrawal.  For example:

 

If your GLWB Death Benefit is $100,000, and your current Account Value is $80,000, and you take a Nonguaranteed Withdrawal of $10,000 (assuming no withdrawal charges apply and you have already taken your entire LPA for that calendar year);

 

we will reduce your GLWB Death Benefit by 12.5% because that is the same percentage that your withdrawal bears to the Account Value at the time of the Nonguaranteed Withdrawal ($10,000 /$80,000).

 

Therefore, your GLWB Death Benefit is reduced by $12,500 to $87,500.

 

Because the Account Value at the time of the Nonguaranteed Withdrawal in this example is less than the GLWB Death Benefit, the GLWB Death Benefit is decreased by a larger dollar amount than the Nonguaranteed Withdrawal amount.  If the Account Value in the example was more than the GLWB Death Benefit, the GLWB Death Benefit would be reduced dollar-for-dollar by the Nonguaranteed Withdrawal amount.

 

Once the GLWB Death Benefit equals zero, it will remain at zero.  Additional premiums will not increase the GLWB Death Benefit.

 

The GLWB Death Benefit will remain in effect during the Guaranteed Payment Phase, and the LPA we pay will continue to reduce the GLWB Death Benefit dollar-for-dollar.

 

Any remaining GLWB Death Benefit will be distributed to the beneficiary at the death of the owner according to the provisions of the contract.

 

The GLWB Death Benefit terminates on the earliest of

 

·                  Maturity Date of the contract;

·                  Annuity Date; or

·                  Date the rider terminates

 

GLWB Plus Rider Charge

 

The GLWB Plus Rider charge varies depending on which GLWB Plus Investment Strategy you choose.  The following table shows the effective annual rates for the Rider, which we will assess by deducting an additional daily charge from your Account Value:

GLWB Plus Investment Strategies

 

If you elect to purchase the GLWB Plus Rider, you must invest 100% of your Account Value at all times in only one of the three GLWB Plus Investment Strategies described below.  Once you select an Investment Strategy, you cannot switch to another Investment Strategy.  (Note that the Subaccounts available in the GLWB Plus Investment Strategies are also available without the Rider.)

For more information about these Subaccounts, including information relating to their investment objectives and policies, and the risks of investing, see Part 3, as well as the underlying fund prospectuses.  You can obtain a copy of the ETF prospectuses by contacting our Administrative Office listed in the Glossary.  You should read the ETF prospectuses carefully before investing.

 

Subject to required approvals by federal and state authorities, we reserve the right to add, remove, change, close, substitute or limit investment in the GLWB Plus Investment Strategies or the Subaccounts at any time.

 

Transfer and Allocation Restrictions

 

In addition to the allocation and transfer restrictions under the contract (See Part 5, section titled “Allocations and Transfers”), the following additional limitations apply to your allocations and transfers:

 

·                  To change your investment allocation (applies to Investment Strategy 3 only), you can make one or more transfers among the Subaccounts within the minimum and maximum allocations percentages for each.  You must make your transfers at the same time.

·                  We will automatically rebalance the Subaccounts in your Investment Strategy each contract quarter.  The transfers resulting from automatic rebalancing do not restart the 90-day waiting period for making a transfer or changing your allocation.

 

Your financial professional or a third party may offer you asset allocation or investment advisory services related to this annuity contract or Rider for an additional fee to be deducted from your contract.  Such fees are considered withdrawals and could cause a Nonguaranteed Withdrawal.  Therefore, if you purchase the GLWB Plus Rider, we do not recommend using this annuity contract to pay for such services.

 

Withdrawal Protection for Required Minimum Distributions

 

If your contract is a traditional IRA or a SEP IRA, you may be required to withdraw money in order to satisfy IRS minimum distributions requirements after you turn 70½.

 

We will calculate the RMD with respect to this annuity contract based only on its prior calendar year-end fair market value.  We do not consider your other assets or distributions in making this calculation.

 

You may take the greater of your LPA or your RMD each calendar year without causing a Nonguaranteed Withdrawal.  In the year you turn 70½ the Tax Code provides that you may take your first RMD prior to April 1st of the following calendar year; however, with the GLWB Plus Rider, you must take your first annual RMD in the calendar year you turn age 70½ in order to avoid a potential Nonguaranteed Withdrawal.

 

We reserve the right to make any changes we deem necessary to comply with the tax laws.  You should discuss these matters with your tax adviser prior to electing the GLWB Plus Rider.

 

Guaranteed Payment Phase

 

The Guaranteed Payment Phase begins on or after the LPA Eligibility Date if either:

 

·                  Before the Maturity Date, the Account Value reduces to zero (other than as a result of Nonguaranteed Withdrawal) and your LPA is greater than zero.

·                  On the Maturity Date, you elect to continue to receive annual payments equal to the LPA through a life only Annuity Benefit.

 

iRI-29



 

During this phase, you will receive automatic payments each calendar year equal to the LPA on the date of the first payment during the Guaranteed Payment Phase.  Payments will begin on the next calendar year after the Guaranteed Payment Phase begins.

 

Once the Guaranteed Payment Phase begins, we will pay you any remaining LPA for that calendar year and all other rights, benefits, values and charges under the contract and the GLWB Plus Rider will terminate, except those described in this section and in the “Cancellation and Termination of Rider” section below and the “GLWB Death Benefit” section above.  We will send you a written notice when the contract enters the Guaranteed Payment Phase.

 

The payments will continue for your lifetime.  The Guaranteed Payment Phase will end if the Rider terminates.  See “Cancellation and Termination of Rider” section below.

 

Cancellation and Termination of Rider

 

You may cancel the Rider after it has been in effect for five Contract Anniversaries.  You will have a 45 day window to cancel your Rider beginning on the 5th Contract Anniversary after the GLWB Rider Effective date and on each Contract Anniversary after that.

 

This Rider will terminate automatically on the earliest of the following dates:

 

1.

 

The date you die (except for any remaining GLWB Death Benefit);

2.

 

The date the Account Value reduces to zero as a result of anything other than withdrawal of your LPA (or RMD for this contract only);

3.

 

The date that you transfer ownership of the contract;

4.

 

The date you assign the contract or any benefits under the contract or Rider;

5.

 

On the Maturity Date, unless you elect to receive your LPA through a life only Annuity Benefit;

6.

 

The date you elect an Annuity Benefit under the contract;

7.

 

The date you cancel the GLWB Plus Rider;

8.

 

The date the contract ends.

 

Once cancelled or terminated, the GLWB Plus Rider may not be reinstated or re-elected.

 

Additional Restrictions

 

The following additional restrictions apply if you elect the GLWB Plus Rider:

 

·                  You must be between 55 and 80 years old on the date your elect the Rider.

·                  Dollar Cost Averaging is not available.

 

The addition of the GLWB Plus Rider to your annuity contract may not always be in your best interest.  For example: (i) if you are purchasing the GLWB Plus to meet income needs, you should consider whether an immediate annuity is better suited to your situation; (ii) if you are primarily seeking long-term asset growth and do not plan to take withdrawals until five years or more after you purchase the Rider, the benefit of the GLWB Plus Rider may not justify its cost; (iii) if you do not expect to take withdrawals while this Rider is in effect, you do not need the GLWB Plus Rider because the benefit is accessed through withdrawals; or (iv) if you are likely to need to take withdrawals prior to your LPA Eligibility Date or in an amount that is greater than the LPA or RMD for this contract only, you should carefully evaluate whether the GLWB Plus Rider is appropriate, due to the negative effect of Nonguaranteed Withdrawals on your LPA and the GLWB Death Benefit.  You should consult with your tax and financial advisers and carefully consider your alternatives before deciding if the GLWB Plus Rider is suitable for your needs.

 

We reserve the right to discontinue offering the GLWB Plus Rider at any time, but this will not affect your GLWB Plus Rider once it is issued.

 

Examples

 

Please see Appendix B for hypothetical examples that illustrate how the GLWB Plus Rider works.

Part 7 - Voting Rights

 

How ETF Shares Are Voted

 

Integrity is the legal owner of the ETF shares held by the Separate Account.  As a shareholder of the iShares Trust (“Trust”), we have the right to vote on certain matters with respect to the funds.  Among other things, we may vote to elect the Trust’s Board of Directors, to ratify the selection of independent auditors for the Trust, and on any other matters described in a current prospectus or statement of additional information for each ETF, or any matter requiring a vote by shareholders under the 1940 Act.

 

Whenever a shareholder vote is taken, we will give you the opportunity to tell us how to vote the number of shares attributable to the Units in your contract.  We will send you proxy materials and a form for giving us voting instructions.

 

If we do not receive instructions in time from all contract owners, we will vote shares for which we have not received instructions in the same proportion as we vote shares for which we have received instructions.  As a result of this proportional voting, the vote of a small number of contract owners may determine the outcome of a proposal.  We may vote any shares that we are entitled to vote directly, because of amounts we have accumulated in our Separate Account, as we deem appropriate.  If the federal securities laws or regulations or interpretations of them change so that we are permitted to vote shares in our own right or to restrict contract owner voting, we may do so.

 

ETF shares are sold to investors other than us.  Therefore, the shares voted by all shareholders will dilute the effect of voting instructions received by us from our contract owners.

 

Shareholders of the iShares S&P GSCI Commodity-Indexed Trust do not have voting rights and thus we will not solicit voting instructions from you with respect to the corresponding Subaccount.

 

How We Determine Your Voting Shares

 

You vote only on matters concerning the funds that correspond to the Subaccounts in which you are invested on the record date set by the Trust.  We determine the number of shares you vote by dividing your Account Value in each Subaccount by the total value of assets in the Subaccount multiplied by the number of shares in the Subaccount.

 

Separate Account Voting Rights

 

Under the 1940 Act, certain actions (such as some of those described under “Changes in How We Operate” in Part 2) may require contract owner approval.  In that case, you will be entitled to a number of votes based on the value you have in the Subaccounts.  We will cast votes attributable to amounts we have in the Subaccounts as we deem appropriate.

 

Part 8 - Tax Aspects of the Contract

 

Tax Status of the Contract

 

This contract is only available as a traditional IRA, Roth IRA, or SEP IRA.  If you were able to purchase this contract as other than an IRA, the contract would be unlikely to satisfy the diversification requirements under federal tax law to be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes, and you would be currently taxed on your Account Value.

 

Variable annuity contracts (other than certain pension and qualified retirement plan contracts, including IRAs) are generally not treated as annuities for federal income tax purposes, and thus lose their tax-deferred character, if they do not satisfy certain diversification requirements set forth in Section 817(h) of the Tax Code.  Investing in the ETF shares that are “publicly available,” i.e., that can be purchased

 

iRI-31



 

directly without purchasing a variable annuity or life insurance contract, is incompatible with these requirements.  Accordingly, standing alone, the contract would not be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes.  However, we believe that an individual purchasing a contract as an IRA will not be taxed currently on the Account Value.

 

Contracts that qualify as IRAs are not subject to restrictions against investing in publicly available investments if the contracts meet certain requirements set forth by the IRS.  We believe this contract will meet those requirements, although there is no guarantee that this will be the case.  If this contract is not maintained as an IRA, the taxes on the premiums and any gain will not be deferred and the tax treatment will be uncertain.

 

Types of IRAs

 

Traditional IRAs

 

Section 408 of the Tax Code permits eligible individuals to contribute to an individual retirement program known as an “IRA.”  An IRA can be in the form of a trust or custodial account or an annuity.  An individual may make annual contributions to an IRA of up to the lesser of the limit specified in the Tax Code ($5,000 for 2009) or 100% of compensation includible in the individual’s gross income.  For an individual age 50 or older, the limit is increased by $1,000.  The premiums may be deductible in whole or in part, depending on the individual’s income and whether the individual or spouse participates in an employer sponsored retirement plan.  Distributions from another IRA or certain eligible employer plans may be “rolled over” into an IRA on a tax-deferred basis without regard to these limits.  Amounts in the IRA are taxed when distributed from the IRA at ordinary income tax rates.  A 10% penalty tax (discussed below) generally applies to distributions made before age 59½, subject to certain exceptions.  IRAs have minimum distribution rules (also discussed below) that govern the timing and amount of distributions.

 

SEP IRAs

 

SEP IRAs are types of IRAs that allow employers to contribute to IRAs on behalf of their employees.  Employer premiums made to an employee’s SEP IRA cannot exceed the lesser of (1) 25% of the employee’s compensation, and (2) a limit specified in the Tax Code ($46,000 for 2009).  Distributions from SEP IRAs are subject to the same restrictions and rules that apply to IRA distributions.

 

Roth IRAs

 

Section 408A of the Tax Code permits certain eligible individuals to make non-deductible contributions to a Roth IRA in cash or as a rollover or transfer from another Roth IRA or other IRA.  Only individuals with income below certain amounts specified in the Tax Code may contribute to a Roth IRA.  An eligible individual may make annual contributions to a Roth IRA of up to the lesser of the limit specified in the Tax Code ($5,000 for 2009) or 100% of compensation includible in the individual’s gross income.  For an individual age 50 or older, the limit is increased by $1,000.  A rollover from, or conversion of, an IRA to a Roth IRA is generally subject to tax, and other special rules apply.  You should consult a tax adviser before combining any converted amounts with any other Roth IRA contributions, including any other conversion amounts from other tax years.

 

Distributions from a Roth IRA generally are not taxed, except that, once aggregate distributions exceed premiums to the Roth IRA, income tax and a 10% penalty tax (discussed below) may apply to distributions made (1) before age 59 1/2 (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.

 

Required Minimum Distributions

 

For traditional and SEP IRAs, distributions generally must commence no later than April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the owner reaches age 70½ .  Roth IRAs do not require distributions at any time prior to the owner’s death.  If your IRA provides an additional benefit, such as the optional GLWB Plus Rider, the actuarial present value of the benefit typically will increase the amount of the RMD you must take.  Failure to comply with the RMD rules applicable to qualified contracts will result

 

iRI-32



 

in the imposition of an excise tax.  This excise tax generally equals 50% of the amount by which an RMD exceeds the actual distribution from the contract.

 

Premature Distributions

 

Premature distributions are subject to an additional penalty tax equal to 10% of the amount of any payment from your IRA that is includible in your income.  This penalty is in addition to ordinary income tax.  Amounts paid from your IRA before you reach 59½ are considered premature distributions unless:

 

1.               the distribution is paid due to your death or disability;

2.               the distribution is the result of an Internal Revenue Service levy on the IRA;

3.               the distributions do not exceed your deductible medical expenses;

4.               you have received unemployment compensation under a federal or state program for at least 12 consecutive weeks and the distributions do not exceed the amount paid for health insurance coverage for yourself, your spouse and your dependents;

5.               a tax free rollover of the distribution is made;

6.               the distribution is part of a series of level periodic payments made over your life expectancy or joint life expectancy of you and your beneficiary ;

7.               the distribution is used to cover certain qualified education expenses; or

8.               the distribution is used to cover qualified first-time home purchase expense (up to a lifetime maximum of $10,000.)

 

Rollovers and Transfers

 

In many circumstances you may move money tax-free from one IRA to another IRA or from certain other qualified plans, such as a 401(k) plan, to an IRA by means of a direct rollover or a transfer.  You should always consult a tax adviser before you move or attempt to move assets between any IRA or qualified plan and another qualified contract or plan.

 

Inherited IRAs

 

This contract may be issued as an inherited IRA.  This occurs if, after the death of the owner of an IRA, the owner’s beneficiary directs that the IRA death proceeds be transferred to a new contract issued and titled as an inherited IRA.  The owner’s beneficiary of the original IRA contract will become the owner under the inherited IRA and may generally exercise all rights under the inherited IRA contract, including the right to name his or her own beneficiary in the event of death.

 

Special tax rules apply to an inherited IRA.  The tax law does not permit additional contributions to an inherited IRA.  Also, in order to avoid certain income tax penalties, an RMD must be withdrawn each year from an inherited IRA.  The first RMD must be taken on or before December 31 of the calendar year following the year of the original IRA owner’s death.  The tax penalty equals 50% of the excess of the RMD over the amount actually withdrawn from the inherited IRA during the calendar year.

 

Federal and State Income Tax Withholding

 

We may be required to withhold federal income taxes on all distributions unless the eligible recipients elect not to have any amounts withheld and properly notify us of that election.

 

Certain states have indicated that pension and annuity withholding will apply to payments made to their residents.  Generally, an election out of federal withholding will also be considered an election out of state withholding.  For more information concerning a particular state, call our Administrative Office listed in the Glossary.

 

iRI-33



 

Tax Status of the Company

 

Under existing federal income tax laws, we do not pay tax on investment income and realized capital gains of the Separate Account.  We do not anticipate that we will incur any federal income tax liability on the income and gains earned by the Separate Account.  The Company, therefore, does not impose a charge for federal income taxes.  If federal income tax law changes and we must pay tax on some or all of the income and gains earned by the Separate Account, we may impose a charge against the Separate Account to pay the taxes.  We can also set up reserves for taxes.  We receive a tax deduction for dividends paid by the funds.

 

Transfers among Subaccounts

 

There will not be any current tax liability if you transfer any part of the Account Value among the Subaccounts of your contract.

 

Seek Tax Advice

 

Integrity does not act as your tax or legal adviser.  This discussion of the federal income tax treatment of the contract is not designed to cover all situations and is not intended to be tax advice.  It is based upon our understanding of the present federal income tax laws as currently interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and various courts.  The IRS or the courts may change their views on the treatment of these contracts.  Future legislation may have a negative effect on annuity contracts or IRAs.  Also, we have not attempted to consider any applicable state or other tax laws.

 

Because of the complexity of the tax laws and the fact that tax results will vary according to the particular circumstances, anyone considering buying a contract, selecting an Annuity Benefit under the contract, or receiving annuity payments under a contract should consult a qualified tax adviser.

 

You should carefully consider the advantages and disadvantages of owning a variable annuity as an IRA or tax-qualified plan, as well as the costs and benefits of the contract (including the death benefits, income benefits and other non-tax-related benefits), before you purchase the contract as an IRA.

 

This contract offers an optional living benefit with an enhanced death benefit.  The IRS requires an actuarial present value of enhanced benefits to be added to the Account Value for purposes of calculating the fair market value of the annuity and determining the RMD.

 

The IRS has not reviewed the contract for qualification as an IRA and we make no guarantees that the contract will so qualify.  Integrity does not guarantee the tax status, federal, state, or local, of any contract or any transaction involving the contracts.

 

Part 9 – Additional Information

 

Systematic Withdrawal Program

 

We offer a program that allows you to pre-authorize periodic withdrawals from your contract prior to your Annuity Date.  You can choose to have withdrawals made monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually and can specify the day of the month (other than the 29th, 30th or 31st) on which the withdrawal is to be made.  If you do not select how often you want to receive withdrawals, we will make them monthly.  You may specify a dollar amount for each withdrawal, an annual percentage to be withdrawn, or elect the Free Withdrawal Amount to be used.  The minimum Systematic Withdrawal is $100.  If on any withdrawal date you do not have enough Account Value to make the withdrawal you have specified, no withdrawal will be made and your enrollment in the program will be ended.  You may specify an account for direct deposit of your Systematic Withdrawals.  Withdrawals under this program are treated as ordinary withdrawals under the contract and may be subject to withdrawal charges.  Withdrawals are subject to income tax and a 10% federal tax penalty if you are under age 59 ½.  See Part 8.

 

iRI-34



 

To enroll in our Systematic Withdrawal Program, send the appropriate form to our Administrative Office.  You may terminate your participation in the program upon one day’s prior written notice, and we may terminate or change the Systematic Withdrawal Program at any time.

 

Income Plus Withdrawal Program

 

We offer an Income Plus Withdrawal Program that allows you to pre-authorize equal periodic withdrawals, based on your life expectancy, from your contract anytime before you reach age 59½.  You will not have to pay a tax penalty for these withdrawals, but they will be subject to ordinary income tax.  See Part 8.

 

Once you begin receiving distributions, they should not be changed or stopped until the later of:

 

·                  the date you reach age 59½; or

·                  five years from the date of the first distribution.

 

If you change or stop the distribution or take an additional withdrawal, you may have to pay a 10% penalty tax on all amounts that would have been due on all prior distributions made under the Income Plus Withdrawal Program before you reached the date described above, plus interest.

 

You may choose to have withdrawals made monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually and may specify the day of the month (other than the 29th, 30th or 31st) on which the withdrawal is made.  We will calculate the amount of the distribution, subject to a $100 minimum.  If on any withdrawal date you do not have enough Account Value to make the withdrawal you have specified, no withdrawal will be made and your enrollment in the program will end.  You must also specify an account for direct deposit of your withdrawals.

 

To enroll in our Income Plus Withdrawal Program, send the appropriate form to our Administrative Office.  You may end your participation in the program upon seven Business Days’ prior written notice, and we may terminate or change the Income Plus Withdrawal Program at any time.  This program is not available in connection with the Systematic Withdrawal Program, Dollar Cost Averaging or Customized Asset Rebalancing Program.  Withdrawals under this program are treated as ordinary withdrawals under the contract and may be subject to withdrawal charges.  This program is not available with the GLWB Plus Rider.

 

Choices Plus Required Minimum Distribution Program

 

We offer a Choices Plus Required Minimum Distribution Program that allows you to pre-authorize withdrawals from your contract after you attain age 70½.  The Tax Code requires that you take your RMD from a traditional or SEP IRA beginning on or before April 1st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which you turn 70½ years old.  These withdrawals are subject to ordinary income tax.  See Part 8.

 

You can choose the Choices Plus Required Minimum Distribution Program for your IRA at any time if you are age 70½ or older by sending the election form to our Administrative Office.  You can choose to have withdrawals made monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually and can specify the day of the month (other than the 29th, 30th, or 31st) on which the withdrawal is made.  We will calculate the amount of the distribution using current IRS guidance.  We are not responsible for any tax or other liability you may incur if our good faith calculations are not correct.  You should consult with your tax adviser to ensure these calculations are appropriate to your situation.

 

Withdrawals of Account Value that are made as part of the Choices Plus program are not subject to withdrawal charges.  Additional limitations apply if you have the GLWB Plus Rider.  See Part 6, section titled “Withdrawal Protection for Required Minimum Distributions.”

 

Dollar Cost Averaging Program

 

Dollar cost averaging refers to the practice of investing the same amount in the same investment at

 

iRI-35



 

regular intervals (like once a month), regardless of market conditions.  Thus, you automatically buy more Units when the price is low and fewer when the price is high.  Over time, you may reduce the risk of buying Units when their cost is highest.  Dollar cost averaging does not assure a profit and does not protect against investment losses.

 

We offer a Dollar Cost Averaging Program only for your initial premium to this contract and you must enroll at the time you apply to purchase the contract.  If you elect this program, we will allocate your initial premium to the iShares Lehman Short Treasury Bond Fund Subaccount and transfer the investment monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually to the other Subaccounts you selected.  The iShares Lehman Short Treasury Bond Fund is not a money market fund.  It does not seek to maintain a constant share price of $1.00 per share, and will fluctuate in value.  See the fund prospectus for more details.

 

You must tell us how much you want transferred into each Subaccount.  The minimum transfer to each Subaccount is $100.  Transfers made under our Dollar Cost Averaging Program will not start a 90-day waiting period for making transfers or changing your investment allocation.  See Part 5, section titled “Allocations and Transfers.”

 

You may terminate your participation in the program upon one day’s prior written notice, and we may terminate or change the Dollar Cost Averaging Program at any time.  If you don’t have enough Account Value in the iShares Lehman Short Treasury Bond Fund to transfer to each Subaccount specified, no transfer will be made and your enrollment in the program will end.  This program is not available in connection with the GLWB Plus Rider.

 

Customized Asset Rebalancing Program

 

Asset rebalancing allows you to maintain a diversified investment mix that is appropriate for your goals and risk tolerance.  Because some of your investments may grow faster than others, your asset allocation may shift from your preferred mix.  Asset rebalancing periodically resets your investments to your selected allocations.

 

We offer a Customized Asset Rebalancing Program that allows you to determine how often rebalancing occurs.  You can choose to rebalance quarterly, semi-annually or annually.  The value in the Subaccounts will automatically be rebalanced by transfers among your Subaccounts, and you will receive a confirmation notice after each rebalancing.  If you elect the GLWB Plus Rider, automatic rebalancing is required on each contract quarter.  See Part 6.  Transfers under our Customized Asset Rebalancing Program will not start a 90-day waiting period for making transfers or changing your investment allocation.  See Part 5, section titled “Allocations and Transfers.”

 

To enroll in our Customized Asset Rebalancing Program, send the appropriate form to our Administrative Office.  Other allocation programs, such as Dollar Cost Averaging, may not work with the Customized Asset Rebalancing Program.  You may terminate your participation in the program upon one day’s prior written notice, and we may end or change the Customized Asset Rebalancing Program at any time.  We recommend you consult with your financial professional when establishing your investment portfolio.

 

Legal Proceedings

General Information and History

 

Integrity Life Insurance Company (Integrity) is an Ohio life insurance company organized on May 3, 1966. Its principal executive offices are located at 400 Broadway, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202.  Integrity, the depositor of Separate Account II, is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Western and Southern Life Insurance Company (WSLIC), an Ohio life insurance company organized on February 23, 1888.  WSLIC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Western & Southern Financial Group, Inc., an Ohio corporation, which is wholly owned by Western & Southern Mutual Holding Company, an Ohio mutual insurance holding company.

 

Administration and Distribution of the Contracts

 

Administration

 

Integrity has responsibility for administration of Separate Account II (the Separate Account) and the variable annuity contracts issued through the Separate Account (Contracts).  Integrity has entered into Service Agreements with WSLIC and IFS Financial Services, Inc., which is an affiliated company, to provide certain services, including administrative services for the Separate Account and the Contracts.   Compensation for these services, which are paid by Integrity, is based on the charges and expenses incurred by the service provider, and will reflect actual costs to the extent reasonably possible.

 

Custodian

 

Integrity is the custodian of the assets of the Separate Account.  The shares are held in book-entry form. Integrity maintains a record of all purchases and redemptions of shares of the underlying portfolios.

 

Underwriter

 

Touchstone Securities, Inc. (Touchstone Securities), 303 Broadway, Suite 1100, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202, an indirect subsidiary of WSLIC and an affiliate of Integrity, is the principal underwriter of the Contracts.  Touchstone Securities is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a broker-dealer and is a member in good standing of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).  The Contracts are offered through Touchstone Securities on a continuous basis.  The amount of distribution allowances paid to Touchstone Securities, the principal underwriter, was $29,110,947 in 2007, $28,701,189 in 2006, and $20,409,914 in 2005.  Touchstone Securities did not retain distribution allowances during these years.

 



 

Sales

 

The Contracts are sold by insurance agents licensed in the states where the Contracts may be lawfully sold.  The agents are also registered representatives of broker-dealers, which are registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are members of FINRA.

 

We make payments to the broker-dealer firms that distribute our Contracts in the form of commissions and other incentives.  In addition to the commissions described in the prospectus, we offer up to a 1.00% annual trail commission paid quarterly to certain producers who qualify for a program called “Dynasty Trail.”  Currently, registered representatives who have at least $6,000,000.00 of business with us and maintain 90% of that business with us and meet both these standards at the end of each quarter will receive this additional commission. This program may be changed.

 

We may also make additional payments in the form of expense reimbursements or marketing allowances to the broker-dealers that distribute our Contracts in exchange for privileges, including additional or special access to broker-dealers’ sales staff, opportunities to provide and attend training and other conferences, and marketing enhancements of our Contracts.  The method for calculating any additional compensation may include consideration of the level of sales or assets attributable to the firm.  Not all broker-dealers receive additional compensation and the amount of compensation varies by firm.  These payments could be significant to a firm, and could be a conflict of interest.  We generally choose to compensate broker-dealers that have a strong capability to distribute the Contracts and that are willing to cooperate with our promotional efforts.

 

The following list includes the names of firms that received expense reimbursement or marketing allowance payments of more than $5,000 with respect to annuities sold for Integrity, and it’s wholly owned subsidiary National Integrity Life Insurance Company, during the last calendar year.

Performance Data and Illustrations

 

We may provide performance information and illustrations using performance information.  Performance information may be based on historical returns of the Variable Account Options.  At any time in the future, performance will likely be higher or lower than in the past.  Historical performance does not predict future results.

 

Performance Data

 

In advertisements or in information furnished to you, we may provide the average annual total return and the cumulative total return of the units of the Variable Account Options. The money market option may also from time to time include the yield and effective yield of its units.  Performance information is computed separately for each Variable Account Option in accordance with the formulas described below.

 

Total return reflects all aspects of the return of a Variable Account Option, including the automatic reinvestment of all distributions and the deduction of all charges that apply on an annual basis.  Performance represents annualized percentage change in net assets of a Variable Account Option, based on a hypothetical $1,000 investment, the performance of the underlying portfolios and the charges that would have been made during the periods shown.  Premium taxes, if applicable, are not reflected.  Returns are not annualized for periods less than one year.

 

Average annual total returns are calculated by determining the growth or decline in value of a hypothetical investment in the Variable Account Option over certain periods, including 1, 3, 5, and 10 years and then calculating the annually compounded percentage rate that would have produced the same result if the rate of growth or decline in value had been constant over the period.

 

2



 

Investors should realize that a Variable Account Option’s performance is not constant over time, but changes from year to year, and that the average annual returns represent the averages of historical periods as opposed to the actual historical performance of a Variable Account Option during any portion of the period shown.  Average annual returns are calculated using this formula: P (1+T)n = ERV, where P is a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000, T is the average annual total return, n is the number of years, and ERV is the redeemable value at the end of the period.

 

Standardized returns are average annual total returns calculated from the Variable Account Inception Date which represents the date the Variable Account Option was available in the Contract.  Standardized returns reflect a standard death benefit and the deduction of all fees and charges including portfolio level expenses, the annual mortality and expense risk charge, annual administration charge and withdrawal charges.

 

Non-standardized returns are calculated from the Fund Inception Date which represents the inception date of the underlying fund, rather than the date it was included in the Contract.  Performance which predates the inclusion in the Contract is hypothetical and has been adjusted to include the annual mortality and expense risk charge, and the annual administration charge.  Withdrawal charges are not reflected.

 

Cumulative total returns are unaveraged and reflect the simple percentage change in the value of a hypothetical investment in the Variable Account Option over a stated period of time.  In addition to the period since inception, cumulative total returns may be calculated on a year-to-date basis at the end of each calendar month in the current calendar year.  The last day of the period for year-to-date returns is the last day of the most recent calendar month at the time of publication.

 

Yields quoted in advertising reflect the change in value of a hypothetical investment in a Variable Account Option over a stated period of time, not taking into account capital gains or losses, or any withdrawal charges.  Yields are annualized and stated as a percentage.

 

Current yield and effective yield are calculated for the money market option.  Current yield is based on the change in the value of a hypothetical investment (exclusive of capital changes) over a particular 7-day period, less Contract charges that would have applied during the period (the base period), and stated as a percentage of the investment at the start of the base period (the base period return).  The base period return is then annualized by multiplying by 365/7, with the resulting yield figure carried to at least the nearest hundredth of one percent.

 

Effective yield assumes that all dividends received during an annual period have been reinvested.  This compounding effect causes effective yield to be higher than current yield.  Calculation of effective yield begins with the same base period return used in the calculation of current yield, which is then annualized to reflect weekly compounding pursuant to the following formula: Effective Yield = [(Base Period Return + 1)365/7] – 1

 

Individualized Illustrations

 

Integrity may provide computer-generated illustrations using programs available through third party firms to provide registered representatives and existing or potential Contracts owners with individualized hypothetical illustrations.  The illustrations may include contract values and returns for some or all of the Variable Account Options.  Such illustrations may include graphs, bar charts and other types of formats.

 

Hypothetical values may be based on: (i) the results of a hypothetical contribution to a Contract invested in a single or multiple Variable Account Options using standardized and non-standardized average annual returns; or (ii) the results of a hypothetical contribution to a Contract using either static or variable assumed rates of return, as allow by law.

 

Distributions Under-Tax Favored Retirement Programs

 

Distributions from tax-favored plans are subject to certain restrictions.  Participants in qualified plans (other than IRAs), with the exception of five-percent owners, must begin receiving distributions by April 1 of the calendar year following the later of either (i) the year in which the participant reaches age 70 ½ or (ii) the calendar year in which the participant retires.  Participants in Traditional IRAs or 5% owners must begin receiving distributions by April 1 of the calendar year following the year in which the participant

 

3



 

reaches age 70 ½.  Distribution from certain TSA plans can be deferred until age 75.  Additional distribution rules apply after the participant’s death.  If you do not take mandatory distributions you may owe a 50% penalty tax on any difference between the required distribution amount and the amount distributed.  There are no mandatory distributions from Roth IRAs.

 

Distributions from qualified plans (other than traditional IRAs) to an employee, surviving spouse, or former spouse who is an alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order (payee), in the form of a lump sum settlement, partial withdrawal or periodic annuity payments for a fixed period of fewer than 10 years, are subject to mandatory federal income tax withholding of 20% of the taxable amount of the distribution, unless (i) the payee directs the transfer of such amounts to another qualified plan or Traditional IRA; or (ii) the payment is a minimum distribution required under the Internal Revenue Code. The taxable amount is the amount of the distribution less the amount allocable to after-tax contributions.  All other types of taxable distributions are subject to a 10% federal income tax withholding unless the payee elects not to have withholding apply.

 

We are not permitted to make distributions from a Contract unless a request has been made.  It is therefore your responsibility to comply with the minimum distribution rules.  You should consult your tax adviser regarding these rules and their proper application.

 

The above description of the minimum distribution requirements and the federal income tax consequences of distributions from tax-favored retirement plans which may be funded by the Contract is only a brief summary and is not intended as tax advice.  The rules governing the provisions of plans are extremely complex and often difficult to comprehend.  If you do not fully comply with all applicable rules, which are subject to change, you may suffer adverse tax consequences.  You should consult a qualified and competent tax adviser prior to adopting a plan or purchasing a Contract in connection with a tax-favored plan.

The financial statements of Separate Account II as of December 31, 2007, and for the periods indicated in the financial statements, the statutory-basis financial statements of Integrity as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, and the statutory-basis financial statements of The Western and Southern Life Insurance Company (WSLIC) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, included in this SAI have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, 312 Walnut Street, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202, independent registered public accounting firm, as set forth in their reports included herein.  The financial statements audited by Ernst & Young LLP have been included herein in reliance on their reports given on the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

 

You should distinguish the financial statements of Integrity from the financial statements of the Separate Account and consider the Integrity financial statements only as they relate to the ability of Integrity to meet its obligations under the Contracts.  You should consider the financial statements of WSLIC as bearing only on the ability of WSLIC to meet its obligations under the Guarantee to Integrity policy holders dated March 3, 2000.  You should not consider the Integrity or WSLIC financial statements as relating to the investment performance of the assets held in the Separate Account.

Item 27.       Number of Contract Owners

 

As of July 31, 2008, there were 5,634 contract owners of Separate Account II of Integrity, including qualified and non-qualified contracts.

 

Item 28.       Indemnification

 

Integrity’s By-Laws provide, in Article V, Section 5.1 provides:

 

To the extent permitted by the laws of the State of Ohio, subject to all applicable requirements thereof:

 

(a)           The Corporation shall indemnify or agree to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a Director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, domestic or foreign, non-profit or for profit, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorney’s fees, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best

 

9



 

interests of the Corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.  The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

 

(b)           The Corporation shall indemnify or agree to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a Director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, domestic or foreign, non-profit or for profit, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorney’s fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect to any of the following:

 

(1)        Any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person is adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Corporation unless, and only to the extent the court of common pleas or the court in which such action or suit was brought determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court of common pleas or such other court shall deem proper;

 

(2)        Any action of suit in which the only liability asserted against a Director is pursuant to Section 1701.95 of the Ohio Revised Code.

 

(c)           To the extent that a Director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent has been successful in the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in division (a) and (b) of this Article, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses, including attorney’s fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit, or proceeding.

 

(d)           Any indemnification under divisions (a) and (b) of this Article, unless ordered by a court, shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon the determination that indemnification of the Director, officer, employee, or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in divisions (a) and (b) of this Article.  Such determination shall be made as follows:

 

(1)        By a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Directors of the Corporation who were not and are not parties to or threatened with any such action, suit, or proceeding;

 

(2)        If the quorum described in division (d)(1) of this Article is not obtainable or if a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested Directors so directs, in a written opinion by independent legal counsel other than an attorney, or a firm having associated with it an attorney, who has been retained by or who has performed services for the Corporation or any person to be indemnified within the past five years;

 

(3)        By the Shareholders; or

 

(4)        By the court of common pleas or the court in which such action, suit or proceeding was brought.

 

Any determination made by the disinterested Directors under Article (d)(1) or by independent legal counsel under Article (d)(2) shall be promptly communicated to the person who threatened or brought the action or suit by in the right of the Corporation under (b) of this Article, and within ten days after receipt of such notification, such person shall have the right to petition the court of common pleas or the court in which such action or suit was brought to review the reasonableness of such determination.

 

(e)           (1)      Expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred by a Director in defending the action, suit, or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation as they are incurred, in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit, or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Director in which he agrees to do both of the following:

 

(i)            Repay such amount if it is proved by clear and convincing evidence in a court of competent jurisdiction that his action or failure to act involved an act or omission undertaken with deliberate intent to cause injury to the Corporation or undertaken with reckless disregard for the best interests of the Corporation;

 

(ii)           Reasonably cooperate with the Corporation concerning the action, suit or proceeding.

 

(2)        Expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred by a Director, officer, employee, or agent in defending any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in divisions (a) and (b) of this Article, may be paid by the Corporation as they are incurred, in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit, or proceeding as authorized by the Directors in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Director, officer, employee, or agent to repay such amount, if it ultimately is determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation.

 

(f)            The indemnification authorized by this section shall not be exclusive of, and shall be in addition to, any other rights granted to those seeking indemnification under the Articles or the Regulations for any agreement, vote of Shareholders or disinterested Directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director, officer,

 

10



 

employee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person.

 

(g)           The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or furnish similar protection, including but not limited to trust funds, letters of credit, or self insurance, on behalf of or for any person who is or was a Director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, domestic or foreign, non-profit or for profit, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under this section.  Insurance may be purchased from or maintained with a person in whom the Corporation has a financial interest.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant 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 the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant 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, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 31.       Management Services

 

There are currently no management-related services provided to the Registrant.

 

Item 32.       Undertakings

 

The Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(a)        to file a post-effective amendment to this registration statement as frequently as is necessary to ensure that the audited financial statements of the Registrant, Depositor and Guarantor in the registration statement are never more than 16 months old for so long as payments under the variable annuity contracts may be accepted;

 

(b)        to include either (1) as part of any application to purchase a contract offered by the prospectus, a space that an applicant can check to request a Statement of Additional Information, or (2) a postcard or similar written communication affixed to or included in the prospectus that the applicant can remove to send for a Statement of Additional Information; and

 

(c)        to deliver any Statement of Additional Information and any financial statements required to be made available under this Form, including the WSLIC financial statements,  promptly upon written or oral request.

 

(d)        to update the registration statement if WSLIC terminates its guarantee to Integrity policy holders.

 

During any time there are insurance obligations outstanding and covered by the Guarantee issued by WSLIC, filed as an exhibit to this registration statement, Integrity hereby undertakes to provide notice to contract owners promptly after the happening of significant events related to the Guarantee.  These significant events include: (i) termination of the Guarantee that has a material adverse effect on the contract owner’s rights under the Guarantee; (ii) a default under the Guarantee that has a material adverse effect on the contract owner’s rights under the Guarantee; or (iii) the insolvency of WSLIC.

 

Integrity represents that the aggregate charges under variable annuity contracts described in this Registration Statement are reasonable in relation to the services rendered, the expenses expected to be incurred, and the risks assumed by Integrity.

 

Integrity represents that it recognizes the requirements of Section 17(h) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, specifically that it shall not protect or purport to protect any director or officer of the Registrant or Depositor against any liability to them or to their security holders to which he would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office.
