POLICY SUMMARY

This summary highlights the features and benefits of the policy, the risks that you should consider before purchasing a policy and the fees and charges associated with the policy and its benefits. More detailed information is included in the other sections of this prospectus that should be read carefully before you purchase the policy.

The Policy's Features and Benefits

Premium Payments

See Premium Payments, page 23.

· You choose when to pay and how much to pay, but you cannot pay additional premiums after age 95 and we may refuse to accept any premium less than $25.00.

· You will need to pay sufficient premiums to keep the policy in force. Failure to pay sufficient premiums may cause your policy to lapse without value.

· We may refuse any premium that would disqualify your policy as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code or that would cause your policy to become a modified endowment contract.

· We deduct a premium expense charge from each premium payment and credit the remaining premium (the “net premium”) to the variable account or the fixed account according to your instructions.

Free Look Period

See Free Look Period, page 25.

· During the free look period, you have the right to examine your policy and return it for a refund if you are not satisfied for any reason.

· The free look refund is generally equal to the sum of all premiums we have received, although certain states may require the refund of a different amount.

· The free look period is generally 20 days from the receipt of the policy or 45 days after you applied for the policy. Certain states may allow a different free look period. The length of the free look period and the free look refund that applies in your state are shown in your policy.

Death Benefits

See Death Benefits, page 34.

· Death benefits are paid if your policy is in force when the insured person dies.

· Until age 95, the amount of the death benefit will depend on which death benefit option is in effect when the insured person dies.

· You may choose between one of two death benefit options:

> Option 1 – the base death benefit is the greater of the amount of insurance coverage you have selected or your policy value multiplied by the appropriate factor described in Appendix A; or

> Option 2 – the base death benefit is the greater of the amount of insurance coverage you have selected plus your policy value or your policy value multiplied by the appropriate factor described in Appendix A.

· At age 95, the surrender value will be automatically applied to purchase paid-up life insurance. See Paid-Up Life Insurance, page 56.

· We will reduce the death benefit proceeds payable under any death benefit option by any outstanding policy loan and accrued loan interest and unpaid fees and charges.

· The death benefit is generally not subject to federal income tax if your policy continues to meet the federal income tax definition of life insurance.

Death Benefit Guarantee

See Death Benefit Guarantee, page 38.

· Generally, your policy will not lapse as long as your policy value minus any surrender charge, loan amount and unpaid fees and charges (the “surrender value”) is enough to cover the periodic fees and charges, when due.

· However, the policy has a Death Benefit Guarantee which provides that the policy will not lapse even if the surrender value is not enough to pay the periodic fees and charges when due:

> The Death Benefit Guarantee is standard on every policy. This guarantee lasts until the insured person reaches age 65 or for five policy years, if longer. Under this guarantee your policy will not lapse provided your cumulative premium payments, minus any partial withdrawals or loans, are at least equal to the sum of minimum premium payments to the next monthly processing date. There is no charge for this guarantee.

Rider Benefits

See Additional Insurance Benefits, page 39.

· Your policy may include additional insurance benefits, attached by rider. There are two types of rider benefits:

> Optional rider benefits that you must select before they are added to your policy; and

> Rider benefits that automatically come with your policy.

· In many cases, we deduct an additional monthly charge for these benefits.

· Not all riders may be available under your policy, but the available riders may include:

> Accelerated Death Benefit Rider

> Accidental Death Benefit Rider

> Additional Insured Rider

> Children’s Insurance Rider

> Cost of Living Rider

> Term Insurance Rider

> Waiver of Monthly Deduction Rider

> Waiver of Specified Premium Rider

Investment Options

See The Investment Options, page 16.

· You may allocate your net premiums to the subaccounts of Select*Life Variable Account (the “variable account”) and our fixed account.

· The variable account is one of our separate accounts and consists of subaccounts that invest in corresponding mutual funds. When you allocate premiums to a subaccount, we invest any net premiums in shares of the corresponding mutual fund.

· Your variable account value will vary with the investment performance of the mutual funds underlying the subaccounts and the charges we deduct from your variable account value.

· The fixed account is part of our general account and consists of all of our assets other than those in our separate accounts (including the variable account) and loan account.

· We credit interest on amounts allocated to the fixed account. The guaranteed minimum interest rate we credit is 3.00% per year (4.00% per year for policies with policy dates prior to February 17, 2004).

· We may, in our sole discretion, credit interest in excess of the guaranteed minimum interest rate.

· The fixed account is not available under policies issued in New Jersey.

Transfers

See Transfers,

page 49.

· You currently may make an unlimited number of transfers between the subaccounts and to the fixed account each policy year. We reserve the right, however, to limit you to four transfers each policy year, and transfers are subject to any other limits, conditions and restrictions that we or the funds whose shares are involved may impose. See Limits on Frequent or Disruptive Transfers, page 51.

· There are certain restrictions on transfers from the fixed account.

· We currently do not charge for transfers. We reserve the right, however, to charge up to $25.00 for each transfer.

Asset Allocation Programs

See Dollar Cost Averaging, page 49.

See Automatic Rebalancing,

page 50.

· Dollar cost averaging is a systematic program of transferring policy values to selected investment options. It is intended to help reduce the risk of investing too much when the price of a fund's shares is high. It also helps to reduce the risk of investing too little when the price of a fund's shares is low.

· Automatic rebalancing is a systematic program through which your variable and fixed account values are periodically reallocated among your selected investment options to maintain the allocation percentages you have chosen.

· You cannot participate in the automatic rebalancing and dollar cost averaging programs at the same time.

· There is currently no charge to participate in the dollar cost averaging or automatic rebalancing programs, although we reserve the right to assess a charge in the future.

· Neither of these asset allocation programs assures a profit nor do they protect you against a loss in a declining market.

Loans

See Loans, page 47.

· You may take loans against your policy's surrender value. We reserve the right to limit borrowing during the first policy year.

· Unless otherwise required by state law, each new loan must be for at least $500.00 and may not exceed 1 minus 2 where:

1 = 90.00% (75.00% for policies issued before February 7, 2004, and 100.00% for all policies after age 65) of the policy value less any surrender charge; and

2 = The existing loan amount.

Select*Life II

Loans

(continued)

· When you take a loan we transfer an amount equal to your loan to the loan account as collateral for your loan. The loan account is part of our general account.

· We credit amounts held in the loan account with interest. For policies with policy dates on or after February 17, 2004, we credit interest at a current annual rate of 3.00% (guaranteed not to be less than 3.00%). For policies with policy dates prior to February 17, 2004, the current annual interest rate is 5.50% (guaranteed not to be less than 4.00%).

· We also charge interest on loans. Interest is payable in advance and accrues daily at an annual rate of 4.76% (7.40% for policies with policy dates prior to February 17, 2004).

· After the tenth policy year, preferred loans are available. For preferred loans interest is payable in advance at an annual rate currently equal to 2.91% (5.21% for policies with policy dates prior to February 17, 2004) on the portion of your loan account that is not in excess of the policy value, minus the total of all premiums paid net of all partial withdrawals.

· Loans reduce your policy's death benefit proceeds and may cause your policy to lapse.

· Loans may have tax consequences, and you should consult with a tax and/or legal adviser before taking a loan against your policy’s surrender value.

Partial Withdrawals

See Partial Withdrawals,

page 55.

· After the first policy year, you may withdraw part of your policy's surrender value.

· We currently allow only one partial withdrawal each policy year. For policies with policy dates on or after February 17, 2004, 12 partial withdrawals are allowed each policy year after the tenth policy year.

· A partial withdrawal must be at least $500.00.

· In policy years 2 through 15 you may not withdraw more than 20.00% of your surrender value.

· We currently charge $10.00 for each partial withdrawal, but we reserve the right to charge up to $25.00 for each partial withdrawal.

· Partial withdrawals reduce your policy's base death benefit and your policy value.

· Partial withdrawals may also have tax consequences, and you should consult with a tax and/or legal adviser before taking a partial withdrawal from your policy.

Surrenders

See Surrender,

page 56.

· You may surrender your policy for its surrender value at any time before the death of the insured person.

· The surrender value of a policy is equal to the policy value minus any surrender charge, loan amount and unpaid fees and charges.

· Surrender charges apply for 15 years from the issue date of your policy and for 15 years after each increase in your insurance coverage. Surrender charges are level for the first five years and then decrease uniformly each month to zero at the end of the fifteenth year. The surrender charge is comprised of two charges – the contingent deferred administrative charge and the contingent deferred sales charge. If you surrender your policy during the first two years or during the first two years following an increase in your insurance coverage, we may refund a portion of the contingent deferred sales charge. This refund is referred to as the sales charge refund.

· The initial surrender charge rates vary by gender, risk class and age at issue. Surrender charge rates for increases in your insurance coverage vary by gender, risk class and age at the time of the increase.

· The surrender charge is neither assessed upon nor reduced because of a requested decrease in your insurance coverage.

· If the surrender charge exceeds the available policy value minus the loan amount and unpaid fees and charges, there will be no proceeds paid to you on surrender.

· All insurance coverage ends on the date we receive in good order your surrender request.

· If you surrender your policy, it cannot be reinstated.

· Surrendering the policy may have tax consequences, and you should consult with a tax and/or adviser before surrendering your policy.

Select*Life II

Reinstatement

See Reinstatement, page 57.

· Reinstatement means putting a lapsed policy back in force.

· You may reinstate your policy and riders within five years of its lapse if you did not surrender your policy, you still own the policy and the insured person is still insurable.

· You will need to pay the required reinstatement premium.

· If you had a policy loan existing when coverage lapsed, unless directed otherwise we will reinstate it with accrued loan interest to the date of the lapse.

· A lapsed Death Benefit Guarantee cannot, unless otherwise allowed under state law, be reinstated after the fifth policy year.

· A policy that is reinstated more than 90 days after lapsing may be considered a modified endowment contract for tax purposes.

· Reinstating your policy may have tax consequences, and you should consult with a tax and/or legal adviser before reinstating your policy.

Factors You Should Consider Before Purchasing a Policy

The decision to purchase a policy should be discussed with your agent/registered representative. Make sure you understand the policy's investment options, its other features and benefits, its risks and the fees and charges you will incur when you consider purchasing the policy and investing in the subaccounts of the variable account.

Life Insurance Coverage

· The policy is not a short-term investment and should be purchased only if you need life insurance coverage. Evaluate your need for life insurance coverage before purchasing a policy.

· You should purchase a policy only if you intend and have the financial capability to keep the policy in force for a substantial period of time.

Fees and Charges

See Fees and Charges, page 25.

· In the early policy years the surrender charge usually exceeds the policy value because the surrender charge is usually more than the cumulative minimum monthly premiums minus policy fees and charges. Therefore, you should purchase a policy only if you intend and have the financial capability to keep the policy in force for a substantial period of time.

· A policy's fees and charges reflect the costs associated with its features and benefits, the services we render, the expenses we expect to incur and the risks we assume under the policy.

· We believe the policy's fees and charges, in the aggregate, are reasonable, but before purchasing a policy you should compare the value that the policy’s various features and benefits and the available services have to you, given your particular circumstances, with the fees and charges associated with those features, benefits and services.

Grace Period and Lapse

See Lapse, page 56.

· Your policy may enter the grace period and subsequently lapse (meaning your policy will terminate without value) if on any monthly processing date:

> The Death Benefit Guarantee is not in effect; and

> Your surrender value, plus any sales charge refund, is not enough to pay the periodic fees and charges when due.

· If you do not meet these conditions, we will send you notice and give you a 61 day grace period to make a sufficient premium payment.

· If you do not make a sufficient premium payment by the end of the 61 day grace period, your life insurance coverage will terminate and your policy will lapse.

Exchanges

See Purchasing a Policy, page 22.

· Replacing your existing life insurance policy(ies) and/or annuity contract(s) with the policy described in this prospectus may not be beneficial to you.

· Before purchasing a policy, determine whether your existing policy(ies) and/or contract(s) will be subject to fees or penalties upon surrender or cancellation.

· Also compare the fees, charges, coverage provisions and limitations, if any, of your existing policy(ies) and/or contract(s) with those of the policy described in this prospectus.

Select*Life II
6

Investment Risk

See The Variable Account, page 16.

· You should evaluate the policy's long-term investment potential and risks before purchasing a policy.

· For amounts you allocate to the subaccounts of the variable account:

> Your values will fluctuate with the markets, interest rates and the performance of the underlying mutual funds;

> You assume the risk that your values may decline or not perform to your expectations;

> Your policy could lapse without value or you may be required to pay additional premium because of poor fund performance;

> Each fund has various investment risks, and some funds are riskier than others;

> There is no assurance that any of the funds will achieve its stated investment objective;

> The particular risks associated with each fund are detailed in the fund’s prospectus; and

> You should read each fund's prospectus, and understand the risks associated with the fund before allocating your premiums to its corresponding subaccount.

· For amounts you allocate to the fixed account:

> Interest rates we declare will change over time; and

> You assume the risk that interest rates may decline, although never below the guaranteed minimum interest rate of 3.00% (or 4.00% per year for policies with policy dates prior to February 17, 2004).

· You should monitor and periodically re-evaluate your allocations to determine if they are still appropriate.

Taxation

See TAX CONSIDERATIONS, page 58.

· Under current federal income tax law, death benefits of life insurance policies generally are not subject to income tax. In order for this treatment to apply, the policy must qualify as a life insurance contract. We believe it is reasonable to conclude that the policy will qualify as a life insurance contract.

· Assuming the policy qualifies as a life insurance contract under current federal income tax law, your policy earnings are generally not subject to income tax as long as they remain within your policy. Depending on your circumstances, however, the following events may have tax consequences for you:

> Reduction in the amount of your insurance coverage;

> Partial withdrawals;

> Loans;

> Surrender;

> Lapse; and

> Reinstatement.

· In addition, if your policy is a modified endowment contract, a partial withdrawal, surrender or a loan against or secured by the policy will be taxable to you to the extent of any gain in the policy. A penalty tax may be imposed on a distribution from a modified endowment contract as well.

· There is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the policy could be changed by legislation or otherwise. You should consult a tax and/or legal adviser with respect to legislative developments and their effect on the policy.

· Consult with a tax and/or legal adviser before you purchase a policy.

Sales Compensation

See Distribution of the Policy, page 77.

· We pay compensation to broker/dealers whose registered representatives sell the policy.

· Broker/dealers may be able to choose to receive compensation under various payment options, but their choice will not affect the fees and charges you will pay for the policy.

· We generally pay more compensation on premiums paid for base insurance coverage than we do on premiums paid for coverage under the Term Insurance Rider. Talk to your agent/registered representative about the appropriate usage of the Term Insurance Rider coverage for your particular situation.

Other Products

· We and our affiliates offer other insurance products that may have different features, benefits, fees and charges. These other products may better match your needs.

· Contact your agent/registered representative if you would like information about these other products.

Fund Fees and Expenses. The following table shows the minimum and maximum total annual fund expenses that you may pay during the time you own the policy. Fund expenses vary from fund to fund and may change from year to year. For more detail about a fund’s fees and expenses, review the fund’s prospectus. See also Fund Fees and Expenses, page 31.

	Minimum	Maximum
Total Annual Fund Expenses (deducted from fund assets)¹⁴	0.27%	1.39%

Total annual fund expenses are deducted from amounts that are allocated to the fund. They include management fees and other expenses and may include distribution (12b-1) fees. Other expenses may include service fees that may be used to compensate service providers, including the Company and its affiliates, for administrative and policy owner services provided on behalf of the fund. Distribution (12b-1) fees are used to finance any activity that is primarily intended to result in the sale of fund shares.

If a fund is structured as a “fund of funds,” total annual fund expenses also include the fees associated with the funds in which it invests. Because of this a fund that is structured as a “fund of funds” may have higher fees and expenses than a fund that invests directly in debt and equity securities. For a list of the “fund of funds” available through the policy, see the chart of funds available through the variable account on page 17.

^¹⁴ Some funds that are available through the policy have contractual arrangements to waive and/or reimburse certain fund fees and expenses. The minimum and maximum total annual fund expenses shown above do not reflect any of these waiver and/or reimbursement arrangements.

How the Policy Works

Select*Life II
14

THE COMPANY, THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT AND THE FIXED ACCOUNT

ReliaStar Life Insurance Company

ReliaStar Life Insurance Company (“ReliaStar,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company”) issues the variable universal life insurance policy described in this prospectus and is responsible for providing the policy’s insurance benefits. All guarantees and benefits provided under the policy that are not related to the variable account are subject to the claims paying ability of the Company and our general account. We are a stock life insurance company organized in 1885 and incorporated under the laws of the State of Minnesota. We are admitted to do business in the District of Columbia and all states except New York. Our headquarters is at 20 Washington Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN 55401.

We are an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Voya Financial, Inc. (“Voya”), which until April 7, 2014, was known as ING U.S., Inc. In May, 2013, the common stock of Voya began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “VOYA.”

Product Regulation. Our annuity, retirement and investment products are subject to a complex and extensive array of state and federal tax, securities, insurance and employee benefit plan laws and regulations, which are administered and enforced by a number of different governmental and self-regulatory authorities, including state insurance regulators, state securities administrators, state banking authorities, the SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), the Department of Labor (“DOL”), the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”). For example, U.S federal income tax law imposes requirements relating to insurance and annuity product design, administration and investments that are conditions for beneficial tax treatment of such products under the Internal Revenue Code. See TAX CONSIDERATIONS, page 58, for further discussion of some of these requirements. Additionally, state and federal securities and insurance laws impose requirements relating to insurance and annuity product design, offering and distribution and administration. Failure to administer product features in accordance with contract provisions or applicable law, or to meet any of these complex tax, securities or insurance requirements could subject us to administrative penalties imposed by a particular governmental or self-regulatory authority, unanticipated costs associated with remedying such failure or other claims, harm to our reputation, interruption of our operations or adversely impact profitability.

The Investment Options

You may allocate your premium payments to any of the available investment options. These options include the subaccounts of the variable account and the fixed account. The investment performance of a policy depends on the performance of the investment options you choose.

The Variable Account

We established the Select*Life Variable Account (the “variable account”) on October 11, 1984, as one of our separate accounts under the laws of the State of Minnesota. It is registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”).

We own all of the assets of the variable account and are obligated to pay all amounts due under a policy according to the terms of the policy. Income, gains and losses, whether or not realized, credited to, or charged against, the variable account reflect the investment experience of the variable account and not the investment experience of our other assets. Additionally, Minnesota law provides that we cannot charge the variable account with liabilities arising out of any other business we may conduct. This means that if we ever became insolvent, the variable account assets will be used first to pay variable account policy claims. Only if variable account assets remain after these claims have been satisfied can these assets be used to pay owners of other policies and creditors. All guarantees and benefits provided under the policy that are not related to the variable account are subject to the claims paying ability of the Company and our general account.

The variable account is divided into subaccounts. Each subaccount invests in a corresponding mutual fund. When you allocate premium payments to a subaccount, you acquire accumulation units of that subaccount. You do not invest directly in or hold shares of the mutual funds when you allocate premium payments or policy value to the subaccounts of the variable account.

See Appendix B to this prospectus for more information about the mutual funds available through the variable account, including information about each fund’s investment adviser/subadviser and investment objective. More detailed information about each fund, including information about their investment risks and fees and expenses, can be found in the fund’s current prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. Please read them carefully before investing. You may obtain these documents by contacting Customer Service.

A mutual fund available through the variable account is not the same as a retail mutual fund with the same or similar name. Accordingly, the management, fees and expenses and performance of a fund is likely to differ from a similarly named retail mutual fund.

Selection of Underlying Funds. The underlying funds available through the policy described in this prospectus are determined by the Company. When determining which underlying funds to make available, we may consider various factors, including, but not limited to, asset class coverage, the alignment of the investment objectives of an underlying fund with our hedging strategy, the strength of the adviser’s or subadviser’s reputation and tenure, brand recognition, performance and the capability and qualification of each investment firm. Another factor that we may consider is whether the underlying fund or its service providers (e.g., the investment adviser or subadvisers) or its affiliates will make payments to us or our affiliates in connection with certain administrative, marketing and support services, or whether affiliates of the fund can provide marketing and distribution support for sales of the policies. (For additional information on these arrangements, see “Revenue from the Funds.”) We review the funds periodically and may, subject to certain limits or restrictions, remove a fund or limit its availability to new investment if we determine that a fund no longer satisfies one or more of the selection criteria and/or if the fund has not attracted significant allocations under the policy. We have included certain of the funds at least in part because they are managed or subadvised by our affiliates.

We do not recommend or endorse any particular fund, and we do not provide investment advice.

Voting Privileges. We invest each subaccount’s assets in shares of a corresponding mutual fund. We are the legal owner of the fund shares held in the variable account, and we have the right to vote on certain issues. Among other things, we may vote on issues described in the fund’s current prospectus or issues requiring a vote by shareholders under the 1940 Act.

Even though we own the shares, we give you the opportunity to tell us how to vote the number of shares attributable to your policy. We count fractional shares. If you have a voting interest, we send you proxy material and a form on which to give us your voting instructions. If we determine that we are permitted to vote the shares in our own right, we may do so.

Each fund share has the right to one vote. The votes of all fund shares are cast together on a collective basis, except on issues for which the interests of the funds differ. In these cases, voting is on a fund-by-fund basis.

Select*Life II
18

Examples of issues that require a fund-by-fund vote are changes in the fundamental investment policy of a particular fund or approval of an investment advisory agreement.

We vote the shares in accordance with your instructions at meetings of the fund’s shareholders. We vote any fund shares that are not attributable to policies and any fund shares for which the owner does not give us instructions in the same proportion as we vote the shares for which we did receive voting instructions. This means that instructions from a small number of shareholders can determine the outcome of a vote. There is no minimum number of shares for which we must receive instructions before we vote the shares.

We reserve the right to vote fund shares without getting instructions from policy owners if the federal securities laws, regulations or their interpretations change to allow this.

You may instruct us only on matters relating to the funds corresponding to those subaccounts in which you have invested assets as of the record date set by the fund’s Board for the shareholders meeting. We determine the number of fund shares in each subaccount of your policy by dividing your variable account value in that subaccount by the net asset value of one share of the matching fund.

Right to Change the Variable Account. We do not guarantee that each fund will always be available for investment through the policy. Subject to state and federal law and the rules and regulations thereunder, we may, from time to time, make any of the following changes to our variable account with respect to some or all classes of policies:

· Change the investment objective;

· Offer additional subaccounts that will invest in new funds or fund classes we find appropriate for policies we issue;

· Eliminate subaccounts;

· Combine two or more subaccounts;

· Close subaccounts. We will notify you in advance by a supplement to this prospectus if we close a subaccount. If a subaccount is closed or otherwise is unavailable for new investment, unless you provide us with alternative allocation instructions, all future premiums directed to the subaccount that was closed or is unavailable may be automatically allocated among the other available subaccounts according to your most recent allocation instructions. If your most recent allocation instructions do not include any available subaccounts, you must provide us with alternative allocation instructions or the premium payment will be returned to you. You may give us alternative allocation instructions by contacting Customer Service. See also the Transfers section of this prospectus, page 49, for information about making subaccount allocation changes;

· Substitute a new mutual fund for a fund in which a subaccount currently invests. A substitution may become necessary if, in our judgment:

> A fund no longer suits the purposes of your policy;

> There is a change in laws or regulations;

Select*Life II
19

> There is a change in the fund’s investment objectives or restrictions;

> The fund is no longer available for investment; or

> Another reason we deem a substitution is appropriate.

· In the case of a substitution, the new mutual fund may have different fees and charges than the fund it replaced;

· Transfer assets related to your policy class to another separate account;

· Withdraw the variable account from registration under the 1940 Act;

· Operate the variable account as a management investment company under the 1940 Act;

· Cause one or more subaccounts to invest in a mutual fund other than, or in addition to, the funds currently available;

· Stop selling the policy;

· End any employer or plan trustee agreement with us under the agreement’s terms;

· Limit or eliminate any voting privileges for the variable account;

· Make any changes required by the1940 Act or its rules or regulations; or

· Close a subaccount to new investments.

We reserve the right to transfer separate account assets to another separate account that we determine to be associated with the class of policies to which the policy belongs.

We will not make a change until the change is disclosed in an effective prospectus or prospectus supplement, authorized, if necessary, by an order from the SEC, and approved, if necessary, by the appropriate state insurance department(s). We will notify you of any changes. If you wish to transfer the amount you have in the affected subaccount to another subaccount or to the fixed account, you may do so free of charge. Just notify Customer Service.

The Fixed Account

You may allocate all or a part of your net premium and transfer all or part of your variable account value into the fixed account (except for policies issued in New Jersey). We declare the interest rate that applies to all amounts in the fixed account. This interest rate is never less than 3.00% (4.00% per year for policies with policy dates prior to February 17, 2004). Interest compounds daily at an effective annual rate that equals the declared rate. We credit interest to the fixed account on a daily basis. We pay interest regardless of the actual investment performance of our general account. We bear all of the investment risk for the fixed account.

Your fixed account value equals the net premium you allocate to the fixed account, plus interest earned, minus amounts you transfer out or withdraw. It may be reduced by fees and charges assessed against your policy value.

Select*Life II
20

The fixed account guarantees principal and is part of our general account. The general account supports our non-variable insurance and annuity obligations. We have not registered interests in the fixed account under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“1933 Act”). Also, we have not registered the fixed account or the general account as an investment company under the 1940 Act (because of exemptive and exclusionary provisions). This means that the general account, the fixed account and interests in it are generally not subject to regulation under these Acts. All guarantees and benefits provided under the policy that are not related to the variable account are subject to the claims paying ability of the Company and our general account.

The SEC staff has not reviewed the disclosures in this prospectus relating to the general account and the fixed account. These disclosures, however, may be subject to certain requirements of the federal securities law regarding accuracy and completeness of statements made.

DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT THE POLICY

This prospectus describes our standard Select*Life II variable universal life insurance policy. The policy provides death benefits, cash values and other features of traditional life insurance contracts. There may be variations in policy features, benefits and charges because of requirements of the state where we issue your policy. We describe all such differences in your policy.

If you would like to know about state variations, please ask your agent/registered representative. We can provide him/her with the list of variations that will apply to your policy.

We and our affiliates offer various other products with different features and terms than the policy offered through this prospectus and that may offer some or all of the same funds. These products have different benefits, fees and charges and may or may not better match your needs. Please note that some of the Company’s management personnel and certain other employees may receive a portion of their employment compensation based on the amount of policy values allocated to funds affiliated with Voya. You should be aware that there may be alternative products available, and if you are interested in learning more about these other products, contact Customer Service or your agent/registered representative.

Important Information Regarding Changes in State Insurance Laws and Federal Income Tax Rules

Effective January 1, 2009, to comply with state insurance and federal income tax laws, all new life insurance policies must be based on the 2001 Commissioners Standard Ordinary (“CSO”) mortality tables. The policy described in this prospectus is based on the 1980 CSO mortality tables (“1980 CSO policy”). While the policy described in this prospectus is already no longer offered for new sales, please be aware that there may be limitations on what changes or modifications can be made to an existing 1980 CSO policy.

If you are considering making any change or modification to your existing 1980 CSO policy, please contact us to see if such change or modification will be allowed. You should also consult with a tax and/or legal adviser to determine what effect the change or modification will have on your policy.

Purchasing a Policy

The policy is no longer offered for new sales. When you purchased the policy, however, you were required to submit an application to us. On that application you were required to select, among other things:

· The amount of your insurance coverage (which generally must be at least $50,000.00 ($25,000.00 for policies with policy dates prior to February 17, 2004));

· Your initial death benefit option; and

· Any riders or optional benefits.

On the application you provided us with certain health and other necessary information. Upon receipt of an application, we followed our underwriting procedures to determine whether the proposed insured person was insurable by us. Before we made this determination, we may have needed to request and review medical examinations of and other information about the proposed insured person. Through our underwriting process, we also determined the risk class for the proposed insured person if the application was accepted. Risk class is based on such factors as the proposed insured person’s age, gender and health. Risk class will impact the cost of insurance rates you will pay and may also affect premiums and other policy fees, charges and benefits.

We reserve the right to reject an application for any reason permitted by law. If an application is rejected, any premium received will be returned without interest.

Select*Life II
22

On the date coverage under the policy begins (the “policy date”), the person on whose life we issue the policy (the “insured person”) generally can be no more than age 80. “Age” under the policy means the insured person’s age as of the policy date. From time to time, we may accept an insured person who exceeds our normal maximum age limit. We will not unfairly discriminate in determining the maximum age at issue. All exceptions to our normal limits are dependent upon our ability to obtain acceptable reinsurance coverage for our risk with an older insured.

You may have requested that we back-date the policy up to six months to allow the insured person to give proof of a younger age for the purposes of your policy. Except for cash on delivery policies, we generally will not reissue a policy to change the policy date.

Important Information About the Term Insurance Rider. It may be to your economic advantage to include part of your insurance coverage under the Term Insurance Rider. Working with your agent/registered representative, consider the factors described in the Term Insurance Rider section of this prospectus, page 40, when deciding the appropriate usage of the Term insurance Rider for your particular situation.

Premium Payments

Premium payments are flexible and you may choose the amount and frequency of premium payments, within limits, including:

· We may refuse to accept any premium less than $25.00;

· You cannot pay additional premiums after age 95;

· We may refuse to accept any premium that would disqualify your policy as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code;

· We may refuse to accept any premium that would cause your policy to become a modified endowment contract under Section 7702A of the Internal Revenue Code without your prior written acknowledgement accepting your policy as a modified endowment contract; and

· We may refuse to accept any premium that does not comply with our anti-money laundering program. See Anti-Money Laundering, page 70.

After we deduct the premium expense charge from your premium payments, we apply the remaining net premium to your policy as described below.

A premium payment is received by us when it is received at our offices. After you have paid your minimum initial premium, we suggest you send payments directly to us, rather than through your agent/registered representative, to assure the earliest crediting date.

Select*Life II
23

Insurance coverage does not begin until we receive your minimum initial premium. The minimum initial premium is generally equal to at least the minimum premiums for the first three months. The minimum premium is based on monthly rates that vary according to the insured person’s gender, risk class and age. Optional rider benefits have their own minimum premium rates. If you authorize premiums to be paid by electronic funds transfer, we will issue a policy upon receipt of the minimum premium for the first month and the required completed electronic funds transfer forms.

Your policy will indicate the minimum premium that applies to you. You are not required to pay the minimum premium, but payment of the minimum premium will keep your policy in force during the Death Benefit Guarantee period. See Death Benefit Guarantee, page 38. Payment of the minimum premium may or may not be enough to keep your policy in force beyond the Death Benefit Guarantee period.

Premium Payments Affect Your Coverage. During the Death Benefit Guarantee period, the Death Benefit Guarantee lasts only if your cumulative premium payments to the next monthly processing date, minus any partial withdrawals or loans, are at least equal to the sum of minimum premium payments applicable to the guarantee. If they are not and your surrender value is not enough to pay the periodic fees and charges, when due, then your policy will enter the 61-day grace period and you must make a sufficient premium payment to avoid lapse and loss of insurance coverage. See Lapse, page 56.

Allocation of Net Premium. Until your initial net premium is allocated as described below, we hold premiums in a general suspense account. Premiums held in this suspense account do not earn interest.

We apply the initial net premium to your policy after all of the following conditions have been met:

· We receive the required initial minimum premium;

· All issue requirements have been received by Customer Service; and

· We approve your policy for issue.

We allocate your initial net premium according to the premium allocation instructions specified on the application in whole percentages totaling 100.00% on the valuation date next following the policy date.

Select*Life II
24

All net premiums we receive after the initial premium are allocated to your policy on the valuation date of receipt. We will use your most recent premium allocation instructions specified in whole percentages totaling 100.00%. If your most recent premium allocation instructions includes a mutual fund that corresponds to a subaccount that is closed to new investment (we will notify you in advance by a supplement to this prospectus if we close a subaccount) or is otherwise unavailable, net premium received that would have been allocated to the subaccount corresponding to the closed or otherwise unavailable mutual fund may be automatically allocated among the other available subaccounts according to your most recent allocation instructions. If your most recent allocation instructions do not include any available funds, you must provide us with alternative allocation instructions or the premium payment will be returned to you. You may give us alternative allocation instructions by contacting Customer Service. Your failure to provide us with alternative allocation instructions before we return your premium payment(s) may result in your policy entering the 61 day grace period and/or your policy lapsing without value. See Lapse, page 56, for more information on how to keep your policy from lapsing. See also Reinstatement, page 57, for more information about how to put your policy back in force if it has lapsed.

Free Look Period

You have the right to examine your policy and return it to us (for any reason) within the period shown in the policy. The period during which you have this right is called the free look period. If you request a free look refund or return your policy to us during the free look period, we cancel it as of your policy date. The length of the free look period is determined by state law but generally lasts until:

· Midnight of the twentieth day after you receive your policy;

· Midnight of the twentieth day after a written Notice of Right of Withdrawal is mailed or delivered to you; or

· Midnight of the forty-fifth day after the date your application for the policy is signed.

If you cancel your policy during the free look period, you will receive a refund as determined by state law. Generally, the amount of the refund will equal the sum of all premiums we have received, although certain states may require the refund of a different amount.

The length of the free look period and the free look refund that applies in your state are shown in your policy.

Fees and Charges

We deduct fees and charges under the policy to compensate us for:

· Providing the insurance benefits of the policy (including any rider benefits);

· Administering the policy;

· Assuming certain risks in connection with the policy; and

· Incurring expenses in distributing the policy.

Select*Life II
25

The amount of a fee or charge may be more or less than the cost associated with the service or benefit. Accordingly, excess proceeds from one fee or charge may be used to make up a shortfall on another fee or charge, and we may earn a profit on one or more of these fees and charges. We may use any such profits for any proper corporate purpose, including, among other things, payments of sales expenses.

Transaction Fees and Charges

We deduct the following transaction fees and charges from your policy value each time you make certain transactions.

Premium Expense Charge. We deduct a premium expense charge from each premium payment we receive. This charge is 5.00% of each premium payment and consists of a 2.50% sales charge and a 2.50% premium tax charge.

This charge helps offset:

· The expenses we incur in selling the policy;

· The costs of various state and local taxes. We pay state and local taxes in almost all states. These taxes vary in amount from state to state and may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction within a state; and

· The cost associated with the federal income tax treatment of our deferred acquisition costs. This cost is determined solely by the amount of life insurance premium we receive.

Premium Processing Charge. We may deduct a charge of up to $2.00 per premium payment to reimburse us for the cost of collecting and processing premiums. If imposed, this charge will be deducted from premium payments before the percentage deductions for sales charges and premium taxes. We currently do not impose this charge.

Partial Withdrawal Fee. We deduct a partial withdrawal fee each time you take a partial withdrawal from your policy. The amount of this fee is currently $10.00, but we reserve the right to deduct up to $25.00 for each partial withdrawal. We deduct the partial withdrawal fee proportionately from your remaining fixed and variable account values.

This fee helps offset the expenses we incur when processing a partial withdrawal.

Surrender Charge. We deduct a surrender charge during the first 15 policy years or the first 15 years after an increase in your insurance coverage when you:

· Surrender your policy; or

· Allow your policy to lapse.

The surrender charge is made up of two parts:

· A contingent deferred administrative charge; and

· A contingent deferred sales charge.

Select*Life II
26

The contingent deferred administrative charge is $5.00 per $1,000.00 of insurance coverage. The contingent deferred administrative charge remains level for the first five segment years and then decreases uniformly each month until it becomes zero at the end of the fifteenth segment year. Each coverage segment will have its own contingent deferred administrative charge which will apply only to that segment.

The contingent deferred sales charge rates are set when you purchase a policy or increase your insurance coverage. The contingent deferred sales charge rates are based on the gender, age and risk class of the insured person. See the Transaction Fees and Charges table beginning on page 8 for the minimum and maximum contingent deferred sales charge rates and the rates for a representative insured person. Contingent deferred sales charge rates will not exceed $46.40 per $1,000.00 of coverage and the rates that apply to you are set forth in your policy. Each coverage segment will have its own rates which will apply only to that segment. The contingent deferred sales charge remains level for the first five segment years then decreases uniformly each month until it becomes zero at the end of the fifteenth segment year.

In the early policy years the total surrender charge usually exceeds the policy value because the surrender charge is usually more than the cumulative minimum premiums minus policy fees and charges. Therefore, you should purchase a policy only if you intend and have the financial capability to keep the policy in force for a substantial period of time.

The surrender charge helps offset the expenses we incur in selling the policy.

Transfer Charge. We currently do not assess a charge for transfers between any of the investment options. We reserve the right, however, to charge up to $25.00 for each transfer. Transfers associated with policy loans, the dollar cost averaging or automatic rebalancing programs, or the exercise of conversion rights will not count as transfers when calculating any applicable transfer charge.

This charge helps offset the expenses we incur when processing transfers.

Excess Illustration Fee. We currently do not assess this fee, but unless prohibited under state law, we reserve the right to assess a fee of up to $50.00 for each illustration of your policy values you request after the first each policy year.

This fee helps offset the costs we incur when processing requests for excess illustrations.

Excess Annual Report Fee. We currently do not assess this fee, but we reserve the right to assess a fee of up to $50.00 for each annual report you request after the first each policy year.

This fee helps offset the costs we incur when processing requests for excess annual reports.

Select*Life II
27

Periodic Fees and Charges

We deduct the following periodic fees and charges from your policy value on the monthly processing date. The monthly processing date is the same date each month as your policy date. If that date is not a valuation date, then the monthly processing date is the next valuation date.

In the policy form the “monthly processing date” is referred to as the “Monthly Anniversary.”

Cost of Insurance. The cost of insurance charge is equal to our current monthly cost of insurance rates multiplied by the net amount at risk for each segment of your insurance coverage. The net amount at risk as calculated on each monthly processing date equals the difference between:

· Your current base death benefit, discounted to take into account one month’s interest earnings at an assumed 5.00% annual interest rate; and

· Your policy value minus the periodic fees and charges due on that date, other than cost of insurance charges.

Monthly cost of insurance rates are based on the insured person’s age at issue, gender, risk class and amount of insurance coverage on the policy date and each date you increase your insurance coverage (a “segment date”) and the policy year. They will not, however, be greater than the guaranteed cost of insurance rates shown in the policy, which are based on the 1980 Commissioner’s Standard Ordinary Sex Distinct Mortality Tables. We will apply unisex rates where appropriate under the law. This currently includes the states of Massachusetts and Montana. The rates that apply to you are set forth in your policy. See the Periodic Fees and Charges table beginning on page 9 for the minimum and maximum cost of insurance rates and the rates for a representative insured person.

Separate cost of insurance rates apply to each segment of your insurance coverage and your riders. The maximum rates for the initial and each new segment of your insurance coverage are printed in your policy schedule pages.

The cost of insurance charge varies from month to month because of changes in your net amount at risk, changes in your death benefit and the increasing age of the insured person. The net amount at risk is affected by the same factors that affect your policy value, namely:

· The net premium applied to your policy;

· The fees and charges we deduct;

· Any partial withdrawals you take;

· Interest earnings on the amounts allocated to the fixed account;

· Interest earned on amounts held in the loan account; and

· The investment performance of the funds underlying the subaccounts of the variable account.

We calculate the net amount at risk separately for each segment of your insurance coverage.

Select*Life II
28

The cost of insurance charge compensates us for the ongoing costs of providing insurance coverage, including the expected cost of paying death proceeds that may be more than your policy value.

Administrative Charge. The monthly administrative charge for policies with policy dates prior to February 17, 2004, is currently $8.25 and is guaranteed not to exceed $12.00.

The monthly administrative charge for policies with policy dates on or after February 17, 2004, is currently $10.00 and is guaranteed not to exceed $10.00.

The administrative charge helps compensate us for the costs associated with administering the policies.

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge. During the first ten policy years, the monthly mortality and expense risk charge is 0.075% (0.90% annually) of your variable account value. For policies with policy dates prior to February 17, 2004, after the tenth policy year this charge is currently 0.0375% per month (0.45% annually), guaranteed not to exceed 0.075% per month (0.90% annually). For policies with policy dates on or after February 17, 2004, after the tenth policy year this charge is eliminated.

This charge helps compensate us for the mortality and expense risks we assume when we issue a policy. The mortality risk is that insured people, as a group, may live less time than we estimated. The expense risk is that the costs of issuing and administering the policies and operating the subaccounts of the variable account are greater than we estimated.

Rider Fees and Charges

There may be separate fees and charges if you add any optional rider benefits or exercise certain automatic rider benefits. For more information about rider benefits and the applicable fees and charges, see the Optional Rider Fees and Charges table beginning on page 11 and the Optional Rider Benefits section on page 39. See also the Transaction Fees and Charges table beginning on page 8 and the Automatic Rider Benefits section on page 43.

Sales Charge Refund

We may refund a portion of the contingent deferred sales charge if you:

· Surrender your policy during the first two policy years; or

· Cancel an increase in your insurance coverage during the first two segment years and subsequently surrender your policy.

This refund is referred to as the sales charge refund.

Select*Life II
29

The sales charge refund will equal the amount by which the total sales charge deducted (which consists of the 2.50% sales charge deducted as part of the premium expense charge plus the contingent deferred sales charge) exceeds:

· 30.00% of premium payments you made during the first segment year for each coverage segment up to the surrender charge guideline premium; plus

· 9.00% of premium payments you made that exceed your surrender charge guideline premium.

For any coverage segment created because of an increase in the amount of your insurance coverage, a proportionate amount of the existing policy value on the effective date of the increase will be considered a premium payment made during the first segment year for that segment. Subsequent premium payments will be prorated among the coverage segments.

The surrender charge guideline premium is based on the age and gender of the insured person and equals:

· The initial amount of your insurance coverage or any increased coverage amount; divided by

· 1,000; multiplied by

· An applicable surrender charge guideline factor.

The applicable surrender charge guideline factor(s) will vary by age and gender of the insured person and are set forth in your policy.

Waiver and Reduction of Fees and Charges

We may waive or reduce any of the fees and charges under the policy, as well as the minimum amount of insurance coverage set forth in this prospectus. Any waiver or reduction will be based on expected economies that result in lower sales, administrative or mortality expenses. For example, we may expect lower expenses in connection with sales to:

· Certain groups or sponsored arrangements (including our employees, certain family members of our employees, our affiliates and our appointed sales agents);

· Corporate purchasers; or

· Our policyholders or the policyholders of our affiliated companies.

Any variation in fees and charges will be based on differences in costs or services and our rules in effect at the time. We may change our rules from time to time, but we will not unfairly discriminate in any waiver or reduction.

Fund Fees and Expenses

As shown in the fund prospectuses and described in the Fund Fees and Expenses table on page 13 of this prospectus, each underlying mutual fund deducts management/investment advisory fees from the amounts allocated to the funds. In addition, each underlying mutual fund deducts other expenses, which may include service fees that may be used to compensate service providers, including the Company and its affiliates, for administrative and policy owner services provided on behalf of the fund. Furthermore, certain underlying mutual funds deduct a distribution or 12b-1 fee, which is used to finance any activity that is primarily intended to result in the sale of fund shares. Fund fees and expenses are deducted from the value of the fund shares on a daily basis, which in turn affects the value of each subaccount that purchases fund shares. Fund fees and expenses are one factor that impacts the value of a fund’s shares. To learn more about fund fees and expenses, the additional factors that can affect the value of a fund’s shares and other important information about the funds, refer to the fund prospectuses.

Less expensive share classes of the underlying mutual funds offered through this policy may be available for investment outside of this policy. You should evaluate the expenses associated with the underlying mutual funds available through this policy before making a decision to invest.

Revenue from the Funds

The Company or its affiliates may receive compensation from each of the underlying mutual funds or from the funds’ affiliates. This revenue may include:

· A share of the management fee;

· Service fees;

· For certain share classes, 12b-1 fees; and

· Additional payments (sometimes referred to as revenue sharing).

12b-1 fees are used to compensate the Company and its affiliates for distribution related activity. Service fees and additional payments (sometimes collectively referred to as sub-accounting fees) help compensate the Company, and its affiliates, for administrative, recordkeeping or other services that we provide to the funds or the funds’ affiliates, such as:

· Communicating with customers about their fund holdings;

· Maintaining customer financial records;

· Processing changes in customer accounts and trade orders (e.g., purchase and redemption requests);

· Recordkeeping for customers, including subaccounting services;

· Answering customer inquiries about account status and purchase and redemption procedures;

· Providing account balances, account statements, tax documents and confirmations of transactions in a customer’s account;

· Transmitting proxy statements, annual and semi-annual reports, fund prospectuses and other fund communications to customers; and

· Receiving, tabulating and transmitting proxies executed by customers.

Select*Life II
31

The management fee, service fees and 12b-1 fees are deducted from fund assets. Any such fees deducted from fund assets are disclosed in the fund prospectuses. Additional payments, which are not deducted from fund assets and may be paid out of the legitimate profits of fund advisers and/or other fund affiliates, do not increase, directly or indirectly, fund fees and expenses, and we may use these additional payments to finance distribution.

The amount of revenue the Company may receive from each of the underlying mutual funds or from the funds’ affiliates may be substantial, although the amount and types of revenue vary with respect to each of the funds offered through the policy. This revenue is one of several factors we consider when determining the policy fees and charges and whether to offer a fund through our policies. Fund revenue is important to the Company’s profitability, and it is generally more profitable for us to offer affiliated funds than to offer unaffiliated funds.

Assets allocated to affiliated funds, meaning mutual funds managed by Voya Investments, LLC or another Company affiliate, generate the largest dollar amount of revenue for the Company. Affiliated funds may also be subadvised by a Company affiliate or by an unaffiliated third party. Assets allocated to unaffiliated funds, meaning funds managed by an unaffiliated third party, generate lesser, but still substantial dollar amounts of revenue for the Company. The Company expects to earn a profit from this revenue to the extent it exceeds the Company’s expenses, including the payment of sales compensation to our distributors.

Revenue Received from Affiliated Funds. The revenue received by the Company from affiliated mutual funds may be based either on an annual percentage of average net assets held in the fund by the Company or a share of the fund’s management fee.

In the case of affiliated funds subadvised by unaffiliated third parties, any sharing of the management fee between the Company and the affiliated investment adviser is based on the amount of such fee remaining after the subadvisory fee has been paid to the unaffiliated subadviser. Because subadvisory fees vary by subadviser, varying amounts of revenue are retained by the affiliated investment adviser and ultimately shared with the Company. The sharing of the management fee between the Company and the affiliated investment adviser does not increase, directly or indirectly, fund fees and expenses. The Company may also receive additional compensation in the form of intercompany payments from an affiliated fund’s investment adviser or the investment adviser’s parent in order to allocate revenue and profits across the organization. The intercompany payments and other revenue received from affiliated funds provide the Company with a financial incentive to offer affiliated funds through the policy rather than unaffiliated funds.

Additionally, in the case of affiliated funds subadvised by third parties, no direct payments are made to the Company or the affiliated investment adviser by the subadvisers. However, subadvisers my provide reimbursement for employees of the Company or its affiliates to attend business meetings or training conferences.

Select*Life II
32

Revenue Received from Unaffiliated Funds. Revenue received from each of the unaffiliated mutual funds or their affiliates is based on an annual percentage of the average net assets held in that fund by the Company. Some unaffiliated funds or their affiliates pay us more than others and some of the amounts we receive may be significant.

If the unaffiliated fund families currently offered through the policy that made payments to us were individually ranked according to the total amount they paid to the Company or its affiliates in 2019 in connection with the registered variable life insurance policies issued by the Company, that ranking would be as follows:

· Fidelity^® Variable Insurance Product Portfolios;

· American Funds Insurance Series^®;

· BlackRock V.I. Funds; and

· Neuberger Berman Advisers Management Trust Funds.

If the revenues received from the affiliated funds were taken into account when ranking the funds according to the total dollar amount they paid to the Company or its affiliates in 2019, the affiliated funds would be at the top of the list.

In addition to the types of revenue received from affiliated and unaffiliated funds described above, affiliated and unaffiliated funds and their investment advisers, subadvisers or affiliates may participate at their own expense in Company sales conferences or educational and training meetings. In relation to such participation, a fund’s investment adviser, subadviser or affiliate may help offset the cost of the meetings or sponsor events associated with the meetings. In exchange for these expense offset or sponsorship arrangements, the investment adviser, subadviser or affiliate may receive certain benefits and access opportunities to Company representatives and wholesalers rather than monetary benefits. These benefits and opportunities may include, but are not limited to, co-branded marketing materials, targeted marketing sales opportunities, training opportunities at meetings, training modules for personnel and opportunities to host due diligence meetings for representatives and wholesalers.

Please note that certain management personnel and other employees of the Company or its affiliates may receive a portion of their total employment compensation based on the amount of net assets allocated to affiliated funds. See Distribution of the Policy, page 77.

Fund of Funds

Certain funds may be structured as “fund of funds.” These funds may have higher fees and expenses than a fund that invests directly in debt and equity securities because they also incur the fees and expenses of the underlying funds in which they invest. These funds are affiliated funds, and the underlying funds in which they invest may be affiliated as well. The fund prospectuses disclose the aggregate annual operating expenses of each fund and its corresponding underlying fund or funds. These funds are identified in the list of funds available through the variable account on page 17.

Funds With Managed Volatility Strategies

As described in more detail in the fund prospectuses, certain funds employ a managed volatility strategy that is intended to reduce the fund’s overall volatility and downside risk, and to help us manage the risks associated with providing certain guarantees under the policy. During rising markets, the hedging strategies employed to manage volatility could result in your variable account value rising less than would have been the case if you had been invested in a fund with substantially similar investment objectives, policies and strategies that does not utilize a volatility management strategy. In addition, the cost of these hedging strategies may have a negative impact on investment performance. On the other hand, investing in funds with a managed volatility strategy may be helpful in a declining market with higher market volatility because the hedging strategy will reduce your equity exposure in such circumstances. In such cases, your variable account value may decline less than would have been the case if you had not invested in funds with a managed volatility strategy. There is no guarantee that a managed volatility strategy can achieve or maintain the fund’s optimal risk targets, and the fund may not perform as expected. Funds that employ a managed volatility strategy are identified in the list of funds available through the variable account on page 17.

Death Benefits

You decide the amount of life insurance protection you need, now and in the future. Generally, we require a minimum of $50,000.00 ($25,000.00 for policies with policy dates prior to February 17, 2004) of coverage to issue your policy. We may lower this minimum for certain group, sponsored or corporate purchasers. The amount of insurance coverage in effect on your policy date is your initial coverage segment.

In the policy form the amount of insurance coverage you select is referred to as the “Face Amount.”

It may be to your economic advantage to include part of your insurance coverage under the Term Insurance Rider. See Important Information About the Term Insurance Rider, page 41.

Changes in the Amount of Your Insurance Coverage

Subject to certain limitations, you may change the amount of your insurance coverage. The change will be effective on the next monthly processing date after we receive your written request or next monthly processing date after underwriting approval (if required), whichever is later.

There may be underwriting or other requirements that must be met before we will approve a change. After we approve your request to change the amount of insurance coverage under the policy, we will send a new policy schedule page to you. You should attach it to your policy. We may ask you to return your policy to Customer Service so that we can make this change for you.

Increases in the amount of your insurance coverage must be at least $5,000.00 and may be permitted until age 80.

Select*Life II
34

A requested increase in insurance coverage will cause a new coverage segment to be created. A coverage segment or segment is a block of insurance coverage. Once we create a new segment, it is permanent unless the law requires differently.

Each new segment will have:

· A new surrender charge and surrender charge guideline factor;

· New cost of insurance charges, guaranteed and current;

· A new incontestability period;

· A new suicide exclusion period; and

· A new minimum premium.

In determining the net amount at risk for each coverage segment, we allocate the policy value first to the initial segment and any excess to additional segments starting with the first.

You may not decrease the amount of your insurance coverage below $50,000.00 ($25,000.00 for policies with policy dates prior to February 17, 2004). You cannot request a decrease in the amount of your insurance coverage more frequently than once every six months. Decreases in insurance coverage on policies with multiple coverage segments will be made in the following order:

1. From the most recent segment;

2. From the next more recent segments successively; and

3. From the initial segment.

Decreases in insurance coverage may result in:

· A shortened Death Benefit Guarantee period if the Term Insurance Rider is attached;

· Reduced minimum premium amounts; and

· Reduced cost of insurance charges.

Decreases in insurance coverage will not result in reduced surrender charges.

We reserve the right to not approve a requested change in your insurance coverage that would disqualify your policy as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, we may refuse to approve a requested change in your insurance coverage that would cause your policy to become a modified endowment contract under Section 7702A of the Internal Revenue Code without your prior written acknowledgment accepting your policy as a modified endowment contract. Decreasing the amount of insurance coverage under your policy could cause your policy to be considered a modified endowment contract. If this happens, prior and subsequent distributions from the policy (including loans) may be subject to adverse tax treatment. You should consult a tax and/or legal adviser before changing your amount of insurance coverage. See Modified Endowment Contracts, page 65.

Death Benefit Qualification Test

The death benefit proceeds are generally not subject to federal income tax if your policy continues to meet the federal income tax definition of life insurance. Your policy will meet this definition of life insurance provided that it meets the requirements of the guideline premium test.

Select*Life II
35

The guideline premium test requires that premium payments do not exceed certain statutory limits and your death benefit is at least equal to your policy value multiplied by a factor defined by law. The guideline premium test provides for a maximum amount of premium in relation to the death benefit and a minimum amount of death benefit in relation to policy value. The factors for the guideline premium test can be found in Appendix A of this prospectus.

Certain changes to a policy that uses the guideline premium test may allow the payment of premium in excess of the statutory limits in order to keep the policy from lapsing. In this circumstance, any such excess premium will be allocated to the fixed account in order for the policy to continue to meet the federal income tax definition of life insurance.

Death Benefit Options

There are two death benefit options available under the base policy. You choose the option you want when you apply for the policy, but you may change that choice after the second policy year.

Option 1. Under death benefit Option 1, before age 95 the base death benefit is the greater of the amount of insurance coverage you have selected or your policy value multiplied by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A. Under this option your base death benefit will remain level unless your policy value multiplied by the appropriate factor described in Appendix A exceeds the death benefit. In this case, your death benefit will vary as the policy value varies.

Option 2. Under death benefit Option 2, before age 95 the base death benefit is the greater of the amount of insurance coverage you have selected plus your policy value or your policy value multiplied by the appropriate factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A. Under this option your base death benefit will vary as the policy value varies.

In the policy form, death benefit “Option 1” is referred to as the “Level Amount Option” or “Option A” and death benefit “Option 2” is referred to as the “Variable Amount Option” or “Option B.”

Unless you notify us in writing otherwise, at age 95 your policy value will automatically be applied to purchase fixed paid-up life insurance and your death benefit may change. See Paid-Up Life Insurance, page 56.

Which Death Benefit Option to Choose. If you are satisfied with the amount of your existing insurance coverage and prefer to have premium payments and favorable investment performance reflected to the maximum extent in the policy value and lower cost of insurance charges, you should choose Option 1. If you prefer to have premium payments and favorable investment performance reflected partly in the form of an increasing death benefit, you should choose Option 2.

Select*Life II
36

Changing Death Benefit Options. After the second policy year, you may change death benefit options.

Changing your death benefit option may reduce or increase your insurance coverage but will not change the amount of your base death benefit. We may not approve a death benefit option change if it reduces the amount of insurance coverage below the minimum we require to issue your policy. On the effective date of your option change, your insurance coverage will change as follows:

Change From:	Change To:	Insurance Coverage Following the Change:
Option 1	Option 2	· Your insurance coverage before the change minus your policy value as of the effective date of the change.
Option 2	Option 1	· Your insurance coverage before the change plus your policy value as of the effective date of the change.

Your death benefit option change is effective on your next monthly processing date after we approve it.

After we approve your request, we send a new policy schedule page to you. You should attach it to your policy. We may ask you to return your policy to Customer Service so that we can make this change for you.

If a death benefit option change causes the amount of insurance coverage to change, no new coverage segment(s) is (are) created. Instead, the size of each existing segment(s) is (are) changed. If you change death benefit options, there is no change to the amount of term insurance coverage if you have added the Term Insurance Rider to your policy.

Changing your death benefit option may have tax consequences. You should consult a tax and/or legal adviser before making changes.

Death Benefit Proceeds

After the insured person’s death, if your policy is in force we pay the death benefit proceeds to the beneficiaries. The beneficiaries are the people you name to receive the death benefit proceeds from your policy. The death benefit proceeds are equal to:

· Your base death benefit; plus

· The amount of any rider benefits; minus

· Any outstanding policy loan and accrued loan interest; minus

· Any outstanding fees and charges incurred before the insured person’s death; minus

· Any outstanding accelerated death benefit lien including accrued lien interest.

The death benefit is calculated as of the insured person’s death and will vary depending on the death benefit option you have chosen.

Select*Life II
37

Death Benefit Guarantee

The policy has a Death Benefit Guarantee which provides that the policy will not lapse even if the surrender value is not enough to pay the periodic fees and charges each month.

In general, the two most significant benefits of the Death Benefit Guarantee are:

· During the early policy years, the surrender value (even when supplemented by the sales charge refund) may not be enough to cover the periodic fees and charges due each month, so that the Death Benefit Guarantee may be necessary to avoid lapse of the policy. This occurs when the surrender charge exceeds the policy value in these years. Likewise, if you request an increase in the amount of your insurance coverage, an additional surrender charge will apply for the 15 years following the increase, which could create a similar possibility of lapse as exists during the early policy years; and

· To the extent the surrender value declines due to poor investment performance of the funds underlying the subaccounts of the variable account or due to an additional surrender charge after a requested increase in the amount of your insurance coverage, the surrender value may not be sufficient even in later policy years to cover the periodic fees and charges due each month. Accordingly, the Death Benefit Guarantee may be necessary in later policy years to avoid lapse of the policy.

The Death Benefit Guarantee is standard on every policy. It provides a guarantee that your policy will not lapse until the insured person reaches age 65 or for five policy years, if longer, provided your cumulative premium payments, minus any partial withdrawals or loans, are at least equal to the sum of minimum premium payments to the next monthly processing date. The guarantee period may be shorter if your policy is rated substandard or if you have added the Term Insurance Rider to your policy. There is no charge for this guarantee.

You should consider the following factors in relation to the Death Benefit Guarantee:

· The amount of the minimum premium for your policy is set forth in your policy (see Premium Payments, page 23);

· The minimum premium for your policy is based on monthly rates that vary according to the insured person’s gender, risk class and age;

· Even though you may pay less than the minimum premium amount, you may lose the significant protection provided by the Death Benefit Guarantee by doing so;

· A loan may cause the termination of this guarantee because we deduct your loan amount from cumulative premiums paid when calculating whether you have paid sufficient premiums to keep the guarantee in effect; and

· Even if the Death Benefit Guarantee terminates, your policy will not necessarily lapse (see Lapse, page 56).

We will notify you if on any monthly processing date you have not paid enough premium to maintain the Death Benefit Guarantee. This notice will show the amount of premium required to maintain this guarantee. If we do not receive the required premium payment within 61 days from the date of our notice, the Death Benefit Guarantee will terminate.

Select*Life II

Except by administrative practice during the first five policy years you cannot reinstate a terminated Death Benefit Guarantee. This practice may be discontinued at any time without prior notice.

Additional Insurance Benefits

Your policy may include additional insurance benefits, attached by rider. There are two types of riders:

· Those that provide optional benefits that you must select before they are effective; and

· Those that automatically come with the policy.

The following information does not include all of the terms and conditions of each rider, and you should refer to the rider to fully understand its benefits and limitations. We may offer riders not listed here. Not all riders may be available under your policy. Contact your agent/registered representative for a list of riders and their availability.

Optional Rider Benefits

The following riders may have an additional cost, but you may cancel optional riders at any time. Adding or canceling riders may have tax consequences. See Modified Endowment Contracts, page 65.

Accidental Death Benefit Rider. The Accidental Death Benefit Rider provides an additional insurance benefit if the insured person dies from an accidental injury before age 70. You may apply for this rider when you apply for the base policy or anytime after your policy is issued. The minimum amount of coverage under this rider is $5,000.00. The maximum amount of coverage is $300,000.00, but may be less depending on the age of the insured person.

You should consider the following when deciding whether to add the Accidental Death Benefit Rider to your policy:

· Subject to certain limits, you can increase the amount of coverage under this rider after the second policy year;

· You can decrease the amount of coverage under this rider after the second policy year;

· The minimum premium for this rider is based on monthly rates that vary according to the insured person’s risk class and age;

· The current cost of insurance rates for this rider are different than those for the base policy (see the Optional Rider Fees and Charges table beginning on page 11);

· The policy’s periodic fees and charges do not apply to coverage under this rider; and

· This rider does not have a surrender charge.

Select*Life II
39

Additional Insured Rider. The Additional Insured Rider provides ten-year, guaranteed level premium and level term coverage on the insured person or the insured person’s spouse or children. You may apply for this rider when you apply for the base policy or anytime after your policy is issued. The minimum amount of coverage under this rider is $10,000.00.

You should consider the following when deciding whether to add the Additional Insured Rider to your policy:

· You cannot increase the amount of coverage under this rider after issue;

· You can decrease the amount of coverage under this rider after the second policy year;

· The minimum premium for this rider is based on monthly rates that vary according to the insured person’s gender, risk class and age;

· The current cost of insurance rates for this rider are different than those for the base policy (see the Optional Rider Fees and Charges table beginning on page 11);

· The policy’s periodic fees and charges do not apply to coverage under this rider; and

· This rider does not have a surrender charge.

Additionally, before age 75 you can convert the coverage under this rider to any other whole life policy we offer at the time. No evidence of insurability will be required for the new whole life policy, and the premiums and cost of insurance charges for this new policy will be based on the insured person’s age at the time of conversion.

Children’s Insurance Rider. The Children’s Insurance Rider provides up to $10,000.00 of term life insurance coverage on the life of each of the insured person’s children. You may add this rider when you apply for the base policy or anytime after your policy is issued. The maximum amount of coverage under this rider is $10,000.00. The minimum amount of coverage under this rider is $1,000.00.

You should consider the following when deciding whether to add the Children’s Insurance Rider to your policy:

· Term coverage under this rider is available to age 25 of each child (or for 25 years from the issue date of this rider, if earlier);

· The current cost of insurance rates for this rider are different than those for the base policy (see the Optional Rider Fees and Charges table beginning on page 11);

· Subject to certain limits you may increase insurance coverage under this rider; and

· Decreases in the amount of insurance coverage under this rider are allowed, but at least six months must elapse between decreases.

Term Insurance Rider. The Term Insurance Rider provides an additional level term insurance benefit if the insured person dies before age 95. You may apply for this rider only when you apply for the base policy and the minimum amount of coverage under this rider is $100,000.00. The maximum amount of coverage under this rider is no more than three times the amount of insurance coverage selected under the base policy.

You should consider the following when deciding whether to add the Term Insurance Rider to your policy:

· This rider is only available on policies dated on or after February 17, 2004;

· You cannot increase the amount of coverage under this rider after issue;

· You can decrease the amount of coverage under this rider after the first policy year;

· The minimum premium for this rider is based on monthly rates that very according to the insured person’s gender, risk class and age;

· The current cost of insurance rates for this rider are generally less than those for the base policy (see the Optional Rider Fees and Charges table beginning on page 11);

· The policy’s periodic fees and charges do not apply to coverage under this rider;

· This rider does not have a surrender charge; and

· Adding this rider will shorten the Death Benefit Guarantee period of the base policy.

Additionally, you can transfer your coverage under this rider to your base policy without evidence of insurability anytime after the tenth policy year if your base death benefit is equal to your policy value multiplied by the appropriate factor described in Appendix A. Cost of Insurance rates for this new coverage segment will be the same as the cost of insurance rates for the initial coverage segment. No surrender charge or monthly amount charge will apply to this new coverage segment of the base policy.

Important Information about the Term Insurance Rider

It may be to your economic advantage to include part of your insurance coverage under the Term Insurance Rider. Working with your agent, consider the following factors when deciding whether to include coverage under the Term Insurance Rider and in what proportion to the total amount of coverage under your policy.

Cost of Insurance and Other Fees and Charges. The cost of insurance rates and other fees and charges affect the value of your policy. The lower the cost of insurance and other fees and charges, the greater the policy’s cash value. Accordingly, please be aware that:

· The current cost of insurance rates for coverage under the Term Insurance Rider are generally less than the current cost of insurance rates for coverage under the base policy;

· The guaranteed maximum cost of insurance rates for coverage under the Term Insurance Rider are generally more than the guaranteed maximum cost of insurance rates for coverage under the base policy; and

· Some policy fees and charges that apply to coverage under the base policy may not apply to coverage under the Term Insurance Rider.

Features and Benefits. Certain features and benefits are limited or unavailable if you have Term Insurance Rider coverage, including:

· Death Benefit Guarantees; and

· Cost of Living Rider Benefits.

Select*Life II
41

Compensation. We generally pay more compensation to your agent on premiums paid for coverage under the base policy than we do on premiums paid for coverage under the Term Insurance Rider. See Distribution of the Policy, page 77.

With these factors in mind, you should discuss with your agent/registered representative how the use of the Term Insurance Rider will affect the costs, benefits, features and performance of your policy. You should also review illustrations based on different combinations of base policy and Term Insurance Rider coverage so that you can decide what combination best meets your needs. The foregoing discussion does not contain all of the terms and conditions or limitations of coverage under the base policy or the Term Insurance Rider, and you should read them carefully to fully understand their benefits and limitations.

Waiver of Monthly Deduction Rider. Subject to certain limits, the Waiver of Monthly Deduction Rider provides that the policy’s periodic fees and charges are waived while the insured person is totally disabled according to the terms of the rider. You may add this rider when you apply for the base policy or anytime after your policy is issued, but it may not be added after the insured person reaches age 55.

You should consider the following when deciding whether to add the Waiver of Monthly Deduction Rider to your policy:

· The current cost of insurance rates for this rider are different than those for the base policy (see the Optional Rider Fees and Charges table beginning on page 11); and

· If death benefit Option 1 is in effect at the end of the first six months of total disability, your death benefit option will automatically be changed to Option 2.

Your policy may contain either the Waiver of Monthly Deduction Rider or the Waiver of Specified Premium Rider, but not both. Also, you may not change from one of these riders to the other after your policy is issued.

Waiver of Specified Premium Rider. Subject to certain limits, the Waiver of Specified Premium Rider provides that a specified amount of premium will be credited to the policy each month while the insured person is totally disabled according to the terms of the rider. You may add this rider when you apply for the base policy or anytime after your policy is issued, but it may not be added after the insured person reaches age 55.

You should consider the following when deciding whether to add the Waiver of Specified Premium Rider to your policy:

· The current cost of insurance rates for this rider are different than those for the base policy (see the Optional Rider Fees and Charges table beginning on page 11);

· An increase in the specified premium or an increase in the amount of insurance coverage that results in an increase in specified premium, the new specified premium will be subject to underwriting approval; and

· You may not increase your insurance coverage while benefits are being paid under the terms of this rider.

Select*Life II

Your policy may contain either the Waiver of Monthly Specified Premium Rider or the Waiver of Monthly Deduction Rider, but not both. Also, you may not change from one of these riders to the other after your policy is issued.

Automatic Rider Benefits

The following rider benefits may come with your policy automatically, depending on your age and/or risk class. There may be an additional charge if you choose to exercise any of these rider benefits, and exercising the benefits may have tax consequences. See Rider Fees and Charges, page 29, and Accelerated Death Benefit Rider, page 43.

Accelerated Death Benefit Rider. Under certain circumstances, the Accelerated Death Benefit Rider allows you to accelerate payment of the eligible death benefit that we otherwise would pay upon the insured person’s death. Generally, we will provide an accelerated benefit under this rider if the insured person has a terminal illness that will result in his or her death within 12 months, as certified by a physician. The accelerated benefit may not be more than 50.00% of the amount that would be payable at the death of the insured person, and the accelerated benefit will first be used to pay off any outstanding policy loans and interest due. The remainder of the accelerated benefit will be paid to you in a lump sum.

Consider the following when deciding whether to accelerate the death benefit under this rider:

· We assess an administrative charge of up to $300.00 when we pay the accelerated benefit (see the Transaction Fees and Charges table beginning on page 8);

· When we pay the accelerated benefit, we establish a lien against your policy equal to the amount of the accelerated benefit, plus the amount of the administrative charge, plus interest on the lien;

· Any subsequent death benefit proceeds payable under the policy will first be used to repay the lien;

· Withdrawals, loans and any other access to the policy value will be reduced by the amount of the lien;

· Accelerating the death benefit will not affect the amount of premium payable on the policy and any premiums required to keep the policy in force that are not paid by you will be added to the lien; and

· There may be tax consequences to requesting payment under this rider, and you should consult with a tax and/or legal adviser for further information.

Certain limitations and restrictions are described in the rider. Additionally, the benefit may vary by state. You should consult your agent/registered representative as to whether and to what extent the rider is available in your particular state and on any particular policy.

Select*Life II
43

Cost of Living Rider. The Cost of Living Rider provides optional increases in the amount of base insurance coverage on the life of the insured person every two years without evidence of insurability. Increases are based on increases in the cost of living as measured by the Consumer Price Index.

You should consider the following when deciding whether to accept a cost of living adjustment to your policy:

· On each date the amount of insurance increases under this rider, the periodic fees and charges under the policy will increase to account for the increased costs of insurance and the increased Waiver of Monthly Deduction Rider benefit, if applicable;

· The minimum premium for the Death Benefit Guarantee will increase, unless otherwise directed, on each date the amount of insurance increases under this rider; and

· If the insured person is under age 21 and you choose not to accept a cost of living adjustment, we will not offer any further increases until the policy anniversary on or next following the insured person’s 21^st birthday. However, if you choose not to accept a cost of living adjustment and the insured person is over the age of 21, this rider will automatically terminate as to future increases.

This benefit may vary by state. You should consult your agent/registered representative as to whether and to what extent the rider is available in your particular state and on any particular policy.

Policy Value

Your policy value equals the sum of your fixed account and variable account values. Your policy value reflects:

· The net premium applied to your policy;

· The fees and charges that we deduct;

· Any partial withdrawals you take;

· Interest earned on amounts allocated to the fixed account; and

· The investment performance of the mutual funds underlying the subaccounts of the variable account.

Variable Account Value

Your variable account value equals your policy value attributable to amounts invested in the subaccounts of the variable account.

In the policy form the “policy value” is referred to as the “Accumulation Value,” the “fixed account value” is referred to as the “Fixed Accumulation Value” and the “variable account value” is referred to as the “Variable Accumulation Value.”

Select*Life II
44

Determining Values in the Subaccounts. The value of the amount invested in each subaccount is measured by accumulation units and accumulation unit values. The value of each subaccount is the accumulation unit value for that subaccount multiplied by the number of accumulation units you own in that subaccount. Each subaccount has a different accumulation unit value.

The accumulation unit value is the value determined on each valuation date. The accumulation unit value of each subaccount varies with the investment performance of its underlying mutual fund. It reflects:

· Investment income;

· Realized and unrealized gains and losses;

· Fund expenses (including fund redemption fees, if applicable); and

· Taxes, if any.

A valuation date is a date on which a mutual fund values its shares and the NYSE is open for business, except for days on which valuations are suspended by the SEC. Each valuation date ends at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. We reserve the right to revise the definition of valuation date as needed in accordance with applicable federal securities laws and regulations.

You purchase accumulation units when you allocate premium or make transfers to a subaccount, including transfers from the loan account.

We redeem accumulation units:

· When amounts are transferred from a subaccount (including transfers to the loan account);

· For the monthly deduction of the periodic fees and charges from your variable account value;

· For policy transaction fees;

· When you take a partial withdrawal;

· If you surrender your policy; and

· To pay the death benefit proceeds.

To calculate the number of accumulation units purchased or sold we divide the dollar amount of your transaction by the accumulation unit value for the subaccount calculated at the close of business on the valuation date of the transaction.

The date of a transaction is the date Customer Service receives your premium or transaction request, so long as the date of receipt is a valuation date. We use the accumulation unit value that is next calculated after we receive your premium or transaction request and we use the number of accumulation units attributable to your policy on the date of receipt.

We deduct the periodic fees and charges each month from your variable account value on the monthly processing date. If your monthly processing date is not a valuation date, the monthly deduction is processed on the next valuation date.

Select*Life II
45

The value of amounts allocated to the subaccounts goes up or down depending on the investment performance of the corresponding mutual funds. There is no guaranteed minimum value of amounts invested in the subaccounts of the variable account.

How We Calculate Accumulation Unit Values. We determine the accumulation unit value for each subaccount on each valuation date.

We generally set the accumulation unit value for a subaccount at $10.00 when the subaccount is first opened. After that, the accumulation unit value on any valuation date is:

· The accumulation unit value for the preceding valuation date; multiplied by

· The subaccount’s accumulation experience factor for the valuation period.

Every valuation period begins at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on a valuation date and ends at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the next valuation date. We reserve the right to revise the definition of valuation date as needed in accordance with applicable federal securities laws and regulations.

We calculate an accumulation experience factor for each subaccount every valuation date as follows:

· We take the net asset value of the underlying fund shares as reported to us by the fund managers as of the close of business on that valuation date;

· We add dividends or capital gain distributions declared and reinvested by the fund during the current valuation period;

· We subtract a charge for taxes, if applicable; and

· We divide the resulting amount by the net asset value of the shares of the underlying fund at the close of business on the previous valuation date.

Fixed Account Value

Loan Account Value

When you take a loan from your policy we transfer your loan amount to the loan account as collateral for your loan. Your loan amount includes interest payable in advance to the next policy anniversary. The loan account is part of our general account and we credit interest on amounts held in the loan account. Your loan account value is equal to your outstanding loan amount plus any interest credited on the loan account value. See Loans, page 47.

In the policy form the “loan account value” is referred to as the “Loan Amount.”

Select*Life II

Special Features and Benefits

Loans

You may borrow money from us by using your policy as collateral for the loan. We reserve the right to limit borrowing during the first policy year. Unless state law requires otherwise, each new loan amount must be for at least $500.00 and may not exceed 1 minus 2 where:

1 = 90.00% (75.00% for policies issued before February 7, 2004, and 100.00% for all policies after age 65) of the policy value less any surrender charge; and

2 = The existing loan amount.

If your policy is in force as paid-up life insurance, the amount you may borrow is limited to the surrender value as of the next policy anniversary.

When you take a loan, we transfer an amount equal to your loan to the loan account. The loan account is part of our general account specifically designed to hold collateral for policy loans and interest.

Your loan request must be directed to Customer Service. When you request a loan you may specify the investment options from which the loan collateral will be taken. If you do not specify the investment options, the loan collateral will be taken proportionately from each active investment option you have, including the fixed account.

If you request an additional loan, we add the new loan amount to your existing loan. This way, there is only one loan outstanding on your policy at any time.

Loan Interest. We credit amounts held in the loan account with interest. For policies with policy dates on or after February 17, 2004, we credit interest at a current annual rate of 3.00% (guaranteed not to be less than 3.00%). For policies with policy dates prior to February 17, 2004, the current annual interest rate is 5.50% (guaranteed not to be less than 4.00%). Interest we credit is allocated to the subaccounts and fixed account in the same proportion as your current premium allocation unless you tell us otherwise.

We also charge interest on loans. Interest is payable in advance and for policies with policy dates prior to February 17, 2004, the annual interest rate charged is 7.40%. For policies with policy dates on or after February 17, 2004, the annual interest rate charged is 4.76%.

After the tenth policy year, the annual interest rate that we charge will be reduced for that portion of the loan amount that is not greater than:

· Your variable account value plus your fixed account value; minus

· The sum of all premiums paid minus all partial withdrawals.

Select*Life II
47

Loans with this reduced interest rate are preferred loans. For policies with policy dates prior to February 17, 2004, the reduced annual interest rate may change at any time but is guaranteed not to exceed 5.21%. For policies with policy dates on or after February 17, 2004, the reduced annual interest rate charged is currently 2.91% but is guaranteed not to exceed 3.38%.

Interest is payable in advance at the time you take any loan (for the rest of the policy year) and at the beginning of each policy year thereafter (for the entire policy year). If you do not pay the interest when it is due, we add it to your loan account balance.

We will refund to you any interest we have not earned if:

· Your policy lapses;

· You surrender your policy; or

· You repay your loan.

Loan Repayment. You may repay your loan at any time before the insured person’s age 95. However, unless you tell us otherwise we will treat amounts received as premium payments and not loan repayments. You must tell us if you want a premium payment to go towards repaying your loan.

When you make a loan repayment, we transfer an amount equal to your payment plus any refunded unearned loan interest from the loan account to the subaccounts and fixed account in the same proportion as your current premium allocation, unless you tell us otherwise.

Effects of a Policy Loan. Using your policy as collateral for a loan will affect your policy in various ways. You should carefully consider the following before taking a policy loan:

· Failure to make loan repayments could cause your policy to lapse;

· A loan may cause the termination of the Death Benefit Guarantee because we deduct your loan amount from cumulative premiums paid when calculating whether you have paid sufficient premiums to keep the guarantee in effect;

· Taking a loan reduces your opportunity to participate in the investment performance of the subaccounts and the interest guarantees of the fixed account;

· Accruing loan interest will change your policy value as compared to what it would have been if you did not take a loan;

· Even if you repay your loan, it will have a permanent effect on your policy value;

· If you do not repay your loan we will deduct any outstanding loan account value from amounts payable under the policy; and

· Loans may have tax consequences and if your policy lapses with a loan outstanding, you may have further tax consequences. See Distributions Other than Death Benefits, page 65.

Transfers

You currently may make an unlimited number of transfers of your variable account value between the subaccounts and to the fixed account. (Transfers to or from the fixed account are not available for policies issued in New Jersey.) Transfers are subject to any conditions or limits that we or the funds whose shares are involved may impose, including:

· You may generally not make transfers until after the fifteenth day following your policy date (see Allocation of Net Premium, page 24);

· We reserve the right to limit you to four transfers each policy year;

· Although we currently do not impose a charge for transfers, we reserve the right to charge up to $25.00 for each transfer; and

· We may impose the transfer charge, limit the number of transfers each policy year, restrict or refuse transfers because of frequent or disruptive transfers, as described below.

Any conditions or limits we impose on transfers between the subaccounts or to the fixed account will generally apply equally to all policy owners. However, we may impose different conditions or limits on policy owners or third parties acting on behalf of policy owners, such as market timing services, who violate our excessive trading policy. See Limits on Frequent or Disruptive Transfers page 51.

Transfers from the fixed account to the subaccounts of the variable account are subject to the following additional restrictions:

· Only one transfer is permitted each policy year, and only within 30 days of you policy anniversary date;

· You may only transfer up to 50.00% of your fixed account value unless the balance, after the transfer, would be less than $1,000.00 in which event you may transfer your full fixed account value; and

· Your transfer must be at least the lesser of $500.00 or your total fixed account value.

We reserve the right to liberalize these restrictions on transfers from the fixed account, depending on market conditions. Any such liberalization will generally apply equally to all policy owners. However, we may impose different restrictions on third parties acting on behalf of policy owners, such as market timing services.

We process all transfers and determine all values in connection with transfers on the valuation date we receive your request in good order except as described below for the dollar cost averaging or automatic rebalancing programs.

Dollar Cost Averaging. Anytime your policy value less the loan account value is at least $5,000.00 and the amount of your insurance coverage is at least $100,000.00 you may elect dollar cost averaging.

Select*Life II
49

Dollar cost averaging is a long-term investment program through which you direct us to automatically transfer at regular intervals a specific dollar amount from any of the subaccounts to one or more of the other subaccounts or to the fixed account. We do not permit transfers from the fixed account under this program. You may request that the dollar cost averaging transfers occur on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. You may discontinue this program at any time. Although we currently do not charge for this feature, we reserve the right to impose a charge in the future.

This systematic plan of transferring policy values is intended to help reduce the risk of investing too much when the price of a fund’s shares is high. It also helps reduce the risk of investing too little when the price of a fund’s shares is low. Because you transfer the same dollar amount to the subaccounts each period, you purchase more units when the unit value is low and you purchase fewer units when the unit value is high.

Dollar cost averaging does not assure a profit nor does it protect you against a loss in a declining market.

You may discontinue your dollar cost averaging program at any time. We reserve the right to discontinue, modify or suspend this program, and dollar cost averaging will automatically terminate if:

· We receive a request to begin an automatic rebalancing program;

· The policy is in the grace period on any date when dollar cost averaging transfers are scheduled; or

· The specified transfer amount from any subaccount is more than the variable account value in that subaccount.

Automatic Rebalancing. Anytime your policy value less the loan account value is at least $10,000.00 and the amount of your insurance coverage is at least $200,000.00 you may elect automatic rebalancing. Automatic rebalancing is a program for simplifying the process of asset allocation and maintaining a consistent allocation of your variable and fixed account values among your chosen investment options. Although we currently do not charge for this feature, we reserve the right to impose a charge in the future.

If you elect automatic rebalancing, we periodically transfer amounts among the investment options to match the asset allocation percentages you have chosen. This action rebalances the amounts in the investment options that do not match your set allocation percentages. This mismatch can happen if an investment option outperforms another investment option over the time period between automatic rebalancing transfers.

Automatic rebalancing does not assure a profit nor does it protect you against a loss in a declining market.

Select*Life II
50

You may discontinue your automatic rebalancing program at any time. We reserve the right to discontinue, modify or suspend this program, and automatic rebalancing will automatically terminate if:

· We receive a request to transfer policy values among the investment options;

· We receive a request to begin a dollar cost averaging program;

· The policy is in the grace period on any date when automatic rebalancing transfers are scheduled; or

· The sum of your variable and fixed account values is less than $7,500.00 on any date when automatic rebalancing transfers are scheduled.

Limits on Frequent or Disruptive Transfers

The policy is not designed to serve as a vehicle for frequent transfers. Frequent transfer activity can disrupt management of a mutual fund and raise its expenses through:

· Increased trading and transaction costs;

· Forced and unplanned portfolio turnover;

· Lost opportunity costs; and

· Large asset swings that decrease the fund’s ability to provide maximum investment return to all policy owners.

This in turn can have an adverse effect on fund performance. Accordingly, individuals or organizations that use market-timing investment strategies or make frequent transfers should be aware that:

· We suspend the Electronic Trading Privileges, as defined below, of any individual or organization if we determine, in our sole discretion, that the individual’s or organization’s transfer activity is disruptive or not in the best interest of other owners of our variable insurance and retirement products; and

· Each underlying fund may limit or restrict fund purchases and we will implement any limitation or restriction on transfers to an underlying fund as directed by that underlying fund.

Consequently, individuals or organizations that use market-timing investment strategies or make frequent transfers should not purchase or participate in the policy.

Excessive Trading Policy. We and the other members of the Voya family of companies that provide multi-fund variable insurance and retirement products have adopted a common Excessive Trading Policy to respond to the demands of the various fund families that make their funds available through our products to restrict excessive fund trading activity and to ensure compliance with Rule 22c-2 of the 1940 Act.

Select*Life II
51

We actively monitor fund transfer and reallocation activity within our variable insurance products to identify violations of our Excessive Trading Policy. Our Excessive Trading Policy is violated if fund transfer and reallocation activity:

· Meets or exceeds our current definition of Excessive Trading, as defined below; or

· Is determined, in our sole discretion, to be disruptive or not in the best interests of other owners of our variable insurance and retirement products.

We currently define Excessive Trading as:

· More than one purchase and sale of the same fund (including money market funds) within a 60 calendar day period (hereinafter, a purchase and sale of the same fund is referred to as a “round-trip”). This means two or more round-trips involving the same fund within a 60 calendar day period would meet our definition of Excessive Trading; or

· Six round-trips involving the same fund within a rolling 12 month period.

The following transactions are excluded when determining whether trading activity is excessive:

· Purchases or sales of shares related to non-fund transfers (for example, new purchase payments, withdrawals and loans);

· Transfers associated with any scheduled dollar cost averaging, scheduled rebalancing or scheduled asset allocation programs;

· Purchases and sales of fund shares in the amount of $5,000.00 or less;

· Purchases and sales of funds that affirmatively permit short-term trading in their fund shares, and movement between such funds and a money market fund; and

· Transactions initiated by us, another member of the Voya family of companies or a fund.

If we determine that an individual or entity has made a purchase of a fund within 60 days of a prior round-trip involving the same fund, we will send them a letter warning that another sale of that same fund within 60 days of the beginning of the prior round-trip will be deemed to be Excessive Trading and result in a six month suspension of their ability to initiate fund transfers or reallocations through the Internet, facsimile, Voice Response Unit (“VRU”), telephone calls to Customer Service or other electronic trading medium that we may make available from time to time (“Electronic Trading Privileges”). Likewise, if we determine that an individual or entity has made five round-trips involving the same fund within a rolling 12 month period, we will send them a letter warning that another purchase and sale of that same fund within 12 months of the initial purchase in the first round-trip will be deemed to be Excessive Trading and result in a suspension of their Electronic Trading Privileges. According to the needs of the various business units, a copy of any warning letters may also be sent, as applicable, to the person(s) or entity authorized to initiate fund transfers or reallocations, the agent/registered representative or the investment adviser for that individual or entity. A copy of the warning letters and details of the individual’s or entity’s trading activity may also be sent to the fund whose shares were involved in the trading activity.

Select*Life II
52

If we determine that an individual or entity has violated our Excessive Trading Policy, we will send them a letter stating that their Electronic Trading Privileges have been suspended for a period of six months. Consequently, all fund transfers or reallocations, not just those that involve the fund whose shares were involved in the activity that violated our Excessive Trading Policy, will then have to be initiated by providing written instructions to us via regular U.S. mail. Suspension of Electronic Trading Privileges may also extend to products other than the product through which the Excessive Trading activity occurred. During the six month suspension period, electronic “inquiry only” privileges will be permitted where and when possible. A copy of the letter restricting future transfer and reallocation activity to regular U.S. mail and details of the individual’s or entity’s trading activity may also be sent, as applicable, to the person(s) or entity authorized to initiate fund transfers or reallocations, the agent/registered representative or investment adviser for that individual or entity and the fund whose shares were involved in the activity that violated our Excessive Trading Policy.

Following the six month suspension period during which no additional violations of our Excessive Trading Policy are identified, Electronic Trading Privileges may again be restored. We will continue to monitor the fund transfer and reallocation activity, and any future violations of our Excessive Trading Policy will result in an indefinite suspension of Electronic Trading Privileges. A violation of our Excessive Trading Policy during the six month suspension period will also result in an indefinite suspension of Electronic Trading Privileges.

We reserve the right to suspend Electronic Trading Privileges with respect to any individual or entity, with or without prior notice, if we determine, in our sole discretion, that the individual’s or entity’s trading activity is disruptive or not in the best interests of other owners of our variable insurance and retirement products, regardless of whether the individual’s or entity’s trading activity falls within the definition of Excessive Trading set forth above.

Our failure to send or an individual’s or entity’s failure to receive any warning letter or other notice contemplated under our Excessive Trading Policy will not prevent us from suspending that individual’s or entity’s Electronic Trading Privileges or taking any other action provided for in our Excessive Trading Policy.

We do not allow exceptions to our Excessive Trading Policy. We reserve the right to modify our Excessive Trading Policy, or the policy as it relates to a particular fund, at any time without prior notice, depending on, among other factors, the needs of the underlying fund(s), the best interests of policy owners and fund investors and/or state or federal regulatory requirements. If we modify our policy, it will be applied uniformly to all policy owners or, as applicable, to all policy owners investing in the underlying fund.

Our Excessive Trading Policy may not be completely successful in preventing market timing or excessive trading activity. If it is not completely successful, fund performance and management may be adversely affected, as noted above.

Select*Life II
53

Limits Imposed by the Funds. Each underlying fund available through the variable insurance and retirement products offered by us and/or the other members of the Voya family of companies, either by prospectus or stated policy, has adopted or may adopt its own excessive/frequent trading policy, and orders for the purchase of fund shares are subject to acceptance or rejection by the underlying fund. We reserve the right, without prior notice, to implement fund purchase restrictions and/or limitations on an individual or entity that the fund has identified as violating its excessive/frequent trading policy and to reject any allocation or transfer request to a subaccount if the corresponding fund will not accept the allocation or transfer for any reason. All such restrictions and/or limitations (which may include, but are not limited to, suspension of Electronic Trading Privileges and/or blocking of future purchases of a fund or all funds within a fund family) will be done in accordance with the directions we receive from the fund.

Agreements to Share Information with Fund Companies. As required by Rule 22c-2 under the 1940 Act, we have entered into information sharing agreements with each of the fund companies whose funds are offered through the policy. Policy owner trading information is shared under these agreements as necessary for the fund companies to monitor fund trading and our implementation of our Excessive Trading Policy. Under these agreements, the Company is required to share information regarding policy owner transactions, including, but not limited to, information regarding fund transfers initiated by you. In addition to information about policy owner transactions, this information may include personal policy owner information, including names and social security numbers or other tax identification numbers.

As a result of this information sharing, a fund company may direct us to restrict a policy owner’s transactions if the fund determines that the policy owner has violated the fund’s excessive/frequent trading policy. This could include the fund directing us to reject any allocations of premium or policy value to the fund or all funds within the fund family.

Conversion to a Fixed Policy

During the first two policy years and the first two years after an increase in the amount of your insurance coverage, you may permanently convert your policy or the requested increase in insurance coverage to a fixed policy, unless state law requires differently. If you elect to make this change, unless state law requires that we issue to you a new fixed benefit policy, we will permanently transfer the amounts you have invested in the subaccounts of the variable account to the fixed account and allocate all future net premium to the fixed account. After you exercise this right you may not allocate future premium payments or make transfers to the subaccounts of the variable account. We do not charge for this change. Contact Customer Service or your agent/registered representative for information about the conversion rights available in your state.

Partial Withdrawals

Beginning in the second policy year you may withdraw part of your policy’s surrender value. For policies with policy dates on or after February 17, 2004, 12 partial withdrawals are allowed each policy year after the tenth policy year. A partial withdrawal must be at least $500.00. In policy years two through 15 you may not withdraw more than 20.00% of your surrender value.

We currently charge $10.00 for each partial withdrawal, but we reserve the right to charge up to $25.00 for each partial withdrawal. See Partial Withdrawal Fee, page 26.

Unless you specify a different allocation, we will take partial withdrawals from the fixed account and the subaccounts of the variable account in the same proportion that your value in each has to your policy value on the monthly processing date. We will determine these proportions at the end of the valuation period during which we receive your partial withdrawal request. For purposes of determining these proportions, we will not include any outstanding loan account value.

Effects of a Partial Withdrawal. We will reduce the policy value by the amount of a partial withdrawal. We will also reduce the death benefit by an amount equal to the factor from the definition of life insurance factors described in Appendix A multiplied by the amount of the partial withdrawal. A partial withdrawal may also cause the termination of the Death Benefit Guarantee because we deduct the amount of the partial withdrawal from the total premiums paid when calculating whether you have paid sufficient premiums in order to maintain the Death Benefit Guarantee.

If death benefit Option 1 is in effect, we will decrease the amount of insurance coverage by the amount of a partial withdrawal. Decreases in insurance coverage on policies with multiple coverage segments will be made in the following order:

1. From the most recent segment;

2. From the next more recent segments successively; and

3. From the initial segment.

Therefore, partial withdrawals may affect the way in which the cost of insurance is calculated and the amount of pure insurance protection under the policy. See Cost of Insurance, page 28.

If death benefit Option 2 is in effect, a partial withdrawal will not affect the amount of insurance coverage.

We will not allow a partial withdrawal if the amount of insurance coverage after the withdrawal would be less than $50,000.00 ($25,000.00 for policies with policy dates prior to February 17, 2004).

A partial withdrawal may have tax consequences depending on the circumstances of such withdrawal. See Tax Status of the Policy, page 59.

Paid-Up Life Insurance

You may elect, at any time before the insured person’s age 95, to apply the surrender value to purchase fixed paid up life insurance. However, if the insured is alive at age 95, the surrender value will, unless we are notified in writing otherwise, be automatically applied to purchase fixed paid-up life insurance. The amount by which any paid up insurance will exceed the surrender value cannot be greater than the amount by which the death benefit exceeds the policy value. Any surrender value not used to purchase paid-up life insurance will be paid to you in cash and treated as a partial distribution for federal income tax purposes.

If your policy is continued in force as fixed paid-up life insurance:

· The surrender value is transferred to the fixed account;

· You cannot pay additional premiums;

· You cannot take any partial withdrawals; and

· We will not deduct any further periodic fees and charges.

Applying your policy’s surrender value to purchase paid up insurance may have tax consequences. See Tax Status of the Policy, page 59.

Termination of Coverage

Your insurance coverage will continue under the policy until you surrender your policy or it lapses.

Surrender

You may surrender your policy for its surrender value any time after the free look period while the insured person is alive. Your surrender value is your policy value minus any surrender charge, loan amount and unpaid fees and charges.

You may take your surrender value in other than one payment.

In the policy form the “surrender value” is referred to as the “Cash Surrender Value.”

We compute your surrender value as of the valuation date Customer Service receives your policy and written surrender request. All insurance coverage ends on the date we receive in good order your surrender request and policy.

Surrender of your policy may have adverse tax consequences. See Distributions Other than Death Benefits, page 65.

Lapse

Your policy will not lapse and your insurance coverage under the policy will continue if on any monthly processing date:

· The Death Benefit Guarantee is in effect; or

· Your surrender value, plus any sales charge refund, is enough to pay the periodic fees and charges when due.

Select*Life II
56

Grace Period. If on a monthly processing date you do not meet either of these conditions, your policy will enter the 61-day grace period during which you must make a sufficient premium payment to avoid having your policy lapse and insurance coverage terminate.

We will notify you that your policy is in a grace period at least 30 days before it ends. We will send this notice to you (and a person to whom you have assigned your policy) at your last known address in our records. We will notify you of the premium payment necessary to prevent your policy from lapsing. This amount generally equals the past due charges, plus the estimated periodic fees and charges and charges of any optional rider benefits for the next two months. If we receive payment of the required amount before the end of the grace period, we apply it to your policy in the same manner as your other premium payments and then we deduct the overdue amounts from your policy value.

If you do not pay the full amount within the 61-day grace period, your policy and its riders will lapse without value. We withdraw your remaining variable and fixed account values, deduct amounts you owe us and inform you that your coverage has ended.

If the insured person dies during the grace period, we do pay death benefit proceeds to your beneficiaries with reductions for your loan amount and periodic fees and charges owed.

During the early policy years your surrender value (even when supplemented by the sales charge refund) will generally not be enough to cover the periodic fees and charges each month, and you will generally need to pay at least the minimum premium amount (to maintain the Death Benefit Guarantee) for the policy not to lapse.

If your policy lapses, any distribution of policy value may be subject to current taxation. See Distributions Other than Death Benefits, page 65.

Reinstatement

Reinstatement means putting a lapsed policy back in force. You may reinstate a lapsed policy by written request any time within five years after it has lapsed. A policy that was surrendered may not be reinstated.

To reinstate the policy and available riders you must submit evidence of insurability satisfactory to us and pay a premium large enough to keep the policy and any rider benefits in force for at least two months. If you had a policy loan existing when coverage lapsed, unless directed otherwise, we will reinstate it with accrued loan interest to the date of lapse.

When a policy is reinstated, unless otherwise directed by you, we will allocate the net premium received to the subaccounts of the variable account and the fixed account according to the premium allocation instructions in effect at the start of the grace period. Your policy value on the reinstatement date will equal:

· The policy value at the end of the grace period; plus

· The net premium paid on reinstatement; minus

· Any unpaid fees and charges through the end of the grace period.

Select*Life II
57

A lapsed Death Benefit Guarantee cannot, unless otherwise allowed under state law, be reinstated after the fifth policy year.

A policy that lapses and is reinstated more than 90 days after lapsing may be classified as a modified endowment contract for tax purposes. You should consult with a qualified adviser to determine whether reinstating a lapsed policy will cause it to be classified as a modified endowment contract. See Modified Endowment Contracts, page 65.

TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following summary provides a general description of the U.S. federal income tax considerations associated with the policy and does not purport to be complete. In addition, this summary does not cover federal estate, gift and generation-skipping tax implications or state, local and foreign taxes or other tax situations. We have written this discussion to support the promotion and marketing of our products, and we do not intend it as tax advice. This summary is not intended to and cannot be used to avoid any tax penalties that may be imposed upon you. Counsel or other qualified tax advisers should be consulted for more complete information. This discussion is based upon our understanding of the present federal income tax laws. No representation is made as to the likelihood of continuation of the present federal income tax laws or as to how they may be interpreted by the IRS. We cannot make any guarantee regarding the tax treatment of any policy or policy transaction. If you have any questions about the tax treatment of any distribution from your policy or transactions involving your policy, please consult a tax and/or legal adviser.

The following discussion generally assumes that the policy will qualify as a life insurance contract for federal tax purposes.

Tax Status of the Company

We are taxed as a life insurance company under the Tax Code. The variable account is not a separate entity from us. Therefore, it is not taxed separately as a “regulated investment company” but is taxed as part of the Company.

We automatically apply investment income and capital gains attributable to the variable account to increase reserves under the policies. Because of this, under existing federal tax law we believe that any such income and gains will not be taxed. Because we do not expect that we will incur any federal income tax liability attributable to the variable account we do not intend to make any provision for such taxes. However, changes in the tax laws and/or in their interpretation may result in our being taxed on income or gains attributable to the variable account. In this case we may impose a charge against a variable account (with respect to some or all of the contracts) to set aside provisions to pay such taxes. We may deduct this amount from the variable account, including from your policy value invested in the subaccounts.

Select*Life II
58

In calculating our corporate income tax liability, we may claim certain corporate income tax benefits associated with the investment company assets, including variable account assets, which are treated as Company assets under applicable income tax law. These benefits may reduce our overall corporate income tax liability. Under current law, such benefits include foreign tax credits and corporate dividends received deductions. We do not pass the tax benefits to the holders of the variable account because (i) the policy owners are not the owners of the assets generating these benefits under applicable income tax law and (ii) we do not currently include Company income taxes in the tax charges you pay under the policy. We reserve the right to change these tax practices.

Other Tax Matters

Policy Loans

In general, interest on a policy loan will not be deductible. A limited exception to this rule exists for certain interest paid in connection with certain “key person” insurance. You should consult a tax and/or legal adviser before taking out a loan to determine whether you qualify under this exception.

Moreover, the tax consequences associated with a preferred loan (preferred loans are loans where the interest rate charged is less than or equal to the interest rate credited) available in the policy are uncertain. Before taking out a policy loan, you should consult a tax and/or legal adviser as to the tax consequences.

If a loan from a policy is outstanding when the policy is surrendered or lapses, then the amount of the outstanding indebtedness will be added to the amount treated as a distribution from the policy and will be taxed accordingly. If your policy has large outstanding policy loans, you may have to choose between paying high premiums to keep the policy from lapsing and paying significant income tax if you allow the policy to lapse.

Accelerated Death Benefit Rider

The benefit payments under the Accelerated Death Benefit Rider are intended to be fully excludable from the gross income of the recipient if the recipient is the insured under the policy. (See Accelerated Death Benefit Rider, page 43, for more information about this rider.) If the recipient is someone other than the insured, or the policy has been transferred, you should consult a tax and/or legal adviser about the consequences of requesting payment under this rider.

Continuation of a Policy

Because the IRS has issued limited guidance on this issue, the tax consequences of continuing the policy after an insured person reaches age 100 are unclear. You should consult a tax and/or legal adviser if you intend to keep the policy in force after an insured person reaches age 100.

Select*Life II
59

Section 1035 Exchanges

Internal Revenue Code Section 1035 provides, in certain circumstances, that no gain or loss will be recognized on the exchange of one life insurance policy solely for another life insurance policy or an endowment, annuity or qualified long term care contract. Special rules and procedures apply to Section 1035 exchanges. These rules can be complex, and if you wish to take advantage of Section 1035, you should consult a tax and/or legal adviser.

If this policy is being issued in exchange for another life insurance policy, the requirements that must be met to receive tax-free treatment under Section 1035, include but are not limited to: (1) the policies must have the same insured; and (2) the exchange must occur through an assignment of your old policy to us or by a direct transfer of the account value of the old policy to us by the issuer of the old policy. If your old policy was a modified endowment contract your new policy will also be a modified endowment contract. You cannot exchange an endowment, annuity or long-term care insurance contract for a life insurance policy tax-free.

If any money or other property is received in the exchange (“boot”), gain (but not loss) will be recognized equal to the lesser of the gain realized on the exchange or the amount of the boot received. We accept Section 1035 exchanges of life insurance policies with outstanding loans. If the amount of the loan under the policy exchanged is greater than the amount of the loan under the policy issued in the exchange, the difference will be treated as boot and may result in the recognition of gain.

Generally, the new policy will have the same investment in the policy as the exchanged policy. However, if boot is received in the exchange the investment in the policy will be adjusted.

Special rules and procedures apply to Section 1035 exchanges. These rules can be complex, and if you wish to take advantage of Section 1035, you should consult a tax and/or legal adviser.

Tax-exempt Policy Owners

Special rules may apply to a policy that is owned by a tax-exempt entity. Tax-exempt entities should consult a tax and/or legal adviser regarding the consequences of purchasing and owning a policy. These consequences include the possibility that the unrelated business income tax could apply.

Tax Law Changes

Although the likelihood of legislative action or tax reform is uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the policy could be changed by legislation or other means. It is also possible that any change may be retroactive (that is, effective before the date of the change). You should consult a tax and/or legal adviser with respect to legislative developments and their effect on the policy.

Select*Life II
60

Policy Changes to Comply with the Law

So that your policy continues to qualify as life insurance under the Internal Revenue Code, we reserve the right to return or refuse to accept all or part of your premium payments or to change your death benefit. We may reject any policy request, including a partial withdrawal request, if it would cause your policy to fail to qualify as life insurance or would cause us to return premium to you. We also may make changes to your policy or its riders or make distributions from your policy to the degree that we deem necessary to qualify your policy as life insurance for tax purposes. Any increase in your death benefit will cause an increase in your cost of insurance charges.

Policy Use in Various Plans and Arrangements

The policy is not available for sale to and cannot be acquired with funds that are assets of (i) an employee benefit plan as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and that is subject to Title I of ERISA; (ii) a plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code; or (iii) an entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of the investment by an employee benefit plan or other plan in such entity within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3‑101 or otherwise.

Policy owners may use the policy in various other arrangements. The tax consequences of these arrangements may vary depending on the particular facts and circumstances of each arrangement. If you want to use your policy with any of these various arrangements, you should consult a tax and/or legal adviser regarding the tax issues of your particular arrangement.

Life Insurance Owned by Businesses

Congress has enacted rules relating to life insurance owned by businesses. For example, in the case of a policy issued to a non-natural taxpayer, or held for the benefit of such an entity, a portion of the taxpayer’s otherwise deductible interest expenses may not be deductible as a result of ownership of a policy even if no loans are taken under the policy. (An exception to this rule is provided for certain life insurance contracts that cover the life of an individual who is a 20.00% owner, or an officer, director or employee of a trade or business.) In addition, in certain instances a portion of the death benefit payable under an employer-owned policy may be taxable. As another example, special rules apply if a business is subject to the alternative minimum tax. Any business contemplating the purchase of a new policy or a change in an existing policy should consult a tax and/or legal adviser.

Select*Life II
61

Net Investment Income Tax

A net investment income tax of 3.8% will apply to some types of investment income. This tax will apply to the taxable portion of (1) any proceeds distributed from the policy value as annuity payments pursuant to a settlement option; or (2) the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the policy. This tax only applies to taxpayers with “modified adjusted gross income” above $250,000 in the case of married couples filing jointly or a qualifying widow(er) with dependent child, $125,000 in the case of married couples filing separately and $200,000 for all others.

Income Tax Withholding

The IRS requires us to withhold income taxes from any portion of the amounts individuals receive in a taxable transaction. However, we generally do not withhold income taxes if you elect in writing not to have withholding apply. Withholding is mandatory, however, if the distributee fails to provide a valid taxpayer identification number, if we are notified by the IRS that the taxpayer identification number we have on file is incorrect or if the payment is made outside of the U.S. If you elect not to have amounts withheld, or the amount withheld for you is insufficient to cover income taxes, you will have to pay additional income taxes and possibly penalties later. We will also report to the IRS the amount of any taxable distributions.

Life Insurance Purchases by Non-Resident Aliens

If you or your beneficiary is a non-resident alien, U.S. federal withholding on taxable distributions or death benefits will generally be at a 30.00% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In addition, you may be subject to state and/or municipal taxes and taxes imposed by your country of citizenship or residence. You should consult a tax and/or legal adviser before purchasing a policy.

FATCA Withholding

If the payee of a distribution (including a death benefit) from a policy is a foreign financial institution (“FFI”) or a non-financial foreign entity (“NFFE”) within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code as amended by the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”), the distribution could be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax on the taxable amount of the distribution at a 30% rate irrespective of the status of any beneficial owner of the policy or the nature of the distribution. The rules regarding FATCA are complex, and a tax advisor should be consulted if an FFI or NFFE is or may be designated as a payee with respect to the policy.

Ownership and Beneficiary Designations

Ownership and beneficiary designations, including change of either, may have consequences under federal, state and local income, estate, inheritance, gift, generation-skipping and other tax laws. The individual situation of each policy owner or beneficiary will determine the extent, if any, of these taxes and you should consult a tax and/or legal adviser.

Fair Value of Your Policy

It is sometimes necessary for tax and other reasons to determine the “value” of your policy. The value can be measured differently for different purposes. It is not necessarily the same as the policy value or the unloaned policy value. You should consult a tax and/or legal adviser for guidance as to the appropriate methodology for determining the fair market value of your policy.

You should consult legal or tax advisers for complete information on federal, state, local and other tax considerations.

Tax Status of the Policy

This policy is designed to qualify as a life insurance contract under the Internal Revenue Code. All terms and provisions of the policy shall be construed in a manner that is consistent with that design. In order to qualify as a life insurance contract for federal income tax purposes and to receive the tax treatment normally accorded life insurance contracts under federal tax law, a policy must satisfy certain requirements that are set forth in Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code. Specifically, the policy must meet the requirements of the guideline premium test. See Death Benefit Qualification Test, page 35. If your variable life policy does not satisfy this test, it will not be treated as life insurance under Internal Revenue Code 7702. You would then be subject to federal income tax on your policy income as you earn it. While there is very little guidance as to how these requirements are applied, we believe it is reasonable to conclude that our policies satisfy the applicable requirements. If it is subsequently determined that a policy does not satisfy the applicable requirements, we will take appropriate and reasonable steps to bring the policy into compliance with such requirements and we reserve the right to restrict policy transactions or modify your policy in order to do so. See Tax Treatment of Policy Death Benefits, page 65. If we return premium (with interest) in order to bring your policy into compliance with the requirements of the guideline premium test under Section 7702, it will be refunded on a last-in, first-out basis and may be taken from the investment options in which your policy value is allocated based on your premium allocation in effect. The amount of any interest returned is includible in your gross income.

Select*Life II
63

Diversification and Investor Control Requirements

In addition to meeting the Internal Revenue Code Section 7702 guideline premium test, Internal Revenue Code Section 817(h) requires investments within a separate account, such as our variable account, to be adequately diversified. The Treasury has issued regulations that set the standards for measuring the adequacy of any diversification, and the IRS has published various revenue rulings and private letter rulings addressing diversification issues. To be adequately diversified, each subaccount and its corresponding mutual fund must meet certain tests. If these tests are not met, your variable life policy will not be adequately diversified and not treated as life insurance under Internal Revenue Code Section 7702. You would then be subject to federal income tax on your policy income as you earn it. Each subaccount’s corresponding mutual fund has represented that it will meet the diversification standards that apply to your policy. Accordingly, we believe it is reasonable to conclude that the diversification requirements have been satisfied. If it is determined, however, that your variable life policy does not satisfy the applicable diversification regulations and rulings because a subaccount’s corresponding mutual fund fails to be adequately diversified for whatever reason, we will take appropriate and reasonable steps to bring your policy into compliance with such regulations and rulings and we reserve the right to modify your policy as necessary in order to do so.

In certain circumstances, owners of a variable life insurance policy have been considered, for federal income tax purposes, to be the owners of the assets of the variable account supporting their policies due to their ability to exercise investment control over such assets. When this is the case, the policy owners have been currently taxed on income and gains attributable to the variable account assets. Your ownership rights under your policy are similar to, but different in some ways from, those described by the IRS in rulings in which it determined that policy owners are not owners of variable account assets. For example, you have additional flexibility in allocating your premium payments and your policy values. These differences could result in the IRS treating you as the owner of a proportional share of the variable account assets. We do not know what standards will be set forth in the future, if any, in Treasury regulations or rulings. We reserve the right to modify your policy, as necessary, to try to prevent you from being considered the owner of a proportional share of the variable account assets or to otherwise qualify your policy for favorable tax treatment.

Select*Life II

Tax Treatment of Policy Death Benefits

The death benefit, or an accelerated death benefit, under a policy is generally excludable from the gross income of the recipient under Section 101(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code. However, there are exceptions to this general rule. Certain transfers of the policy may result in a portion of the death benefit being taxable. Additionally, ownership and beneficiary designations, including change of either, may have consequences under federal, state and local income, estate, inheritance, gift, generation-skipping and other tax laws. If the death benefit is not taken in a lump sum and is, instead, applied under a periodic payment settlement option, a portion of such payment will be taxable income. If the death benefit is left on deposit with us, amounts credited as interest will be taxable income. The individual situation of each policy owner or beneficiary will determine the extent, if any, of those taxes and you should consult a tax and/or legal adviser.

Distributions Other than Death Benefits

Generally, the policy owner will not be taxed on any of the policy value until amounts are distributed or deemed to be distributed. When distributions from a policy occur, or when loan amounts are taken from or secured by a policy, the tax consequences depend on whether or not the policy is a “modified endowment contract.”

Modified Endowment Contracts

Under the Internal Revenue Code, certain life insurance contracts are classified as “modified endowment contracts” and are given less favorable tax treatment than other life insurance contracts. Due to the flexibility of the policies as to premiums and benefits, the individual circumstances of each policy will determine whether or not it is classified as a modified endowment contract. The rules are too complex to be summarized here, but generally depend on the amount of premiums we receive during the first seven policy years. In addition, if the policy is received in exchange for a life insurance contract that was a modified endowment contract, this policy will be a modified endowment contract. Certain changes in a policy after it is issued, such as reduction or increase in benefits or policy reinstatement, could also cause it to be classified as a modified endowment contract or increase the period during which the policy must be tested. A current or prospective policy owner should consult with a tax and/or legal adviser to determine whether or not a policy transaction will cause the policy to be classified as a modified endowment contract.

If a policy becomes a modified endowment contract, distributions that occur during the policy year will be taxed as distributions from a modified endowment contract as described below. In addition, distributions from a policy within two years before it becomes a modified endowment contract will be taxed in this manner. This means that a distribution made from a policy that is not a modified endowment contract could later become taxable as a distribution from a modified endowment contract.

Select*Life II
65

Tax laws require that all modified endowment contracts that are issued by a company or its affiliates to the same policy owner during any calendar year be treated as one modified endowment contract for purposes of determining the amount includible in the policy owner's income when a taxable distribution occurs.

Once a policy is classified as a modified endowment contract, the following tax rules apply both prospectively and to any distributions made or deemed to have been made in the prior two years:

· All distributions other than death benefits, including distributions upon surrender and partial withdrawals, from a modified endowment contract will be treated first as distributions of gain, if any, and are taxable as ordinary income. Amounts will be treated as tax-free recovery of the policy owner’s investment in the policy only after all gain has been distributed. The amount of gain in the policy will be equal to the difference between the policy’s value determined without regard to any surrender charges, and the investment in the policy;

· Loan amounts taken from or secured by a policy classified as a modified endowment contract, and also assignments or pledges of such a policy (or agreements to assign or pledge such a policy), are treated first as distributions of gain, if any, and are taxable as ordinary income. If the entire policy value is assigned or pledged, subsequent increases in the policy value are also treated as distributions for as long as the assignment or pledge remains in place. Amounts will be treated as tax-free recovery of the policy owner’s investment in the policy only after all gain has been distributed; and

· A 10.00% additional income tax penalty may be imposed on the distribution amount subject to income tax. This tax penalty generally does not apply to a policy owned by an individual where the distributions are:

> Made on or after the date on which the taxpayer attains age 59½;

> Attributable to the taxpayer becoming disabled (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code); or

> Part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the taxpayer or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the taxpayer and his or her beneficiary. Consult a tax and/or legal adviser to determine whether or not you may be subject to this penalty tax.

If we discover that your policy has inadvertently become a modified endowment contract, unless you have indicated otherwise, we will assume that you do not want it to be classified as a modified endowment contract and attempt to fix this by refunding any excess premium with related interest. The excess gross premium will be refunded on a last-in, first-out basis and may be taken from the investment options in which your policy value is allocated based on your premium allocation in effect. The amount of any interest returned is includible in your gross income. We will monitor the policy and will attempt to notify you on a timely basis if your policy is in jeopardy of becoming a MEC. You may then request that we take whatever steps are available to avoid treating the policy as a MEC, if that is desired.

Select*Life II
66

Policies That Are Not Modified Endowment Contracts

Distributions other than death benefits from a policy that is not classified as a modified endowment contract are generally treated first as a recovery of the policy owner’s investment in the policy. Only after the recovery of all investment in the policy is there taxable income. However, certain distributions made in connection with policy benefit reductions during the first 15 policy years may be treated in whole or in part as ordinary income subject to tax.

Loan amounts from or secured by a policy that is not a modified endowment contract are generally not taxed as distributions. Finally, neither distributions from, nor loan amounts from or secured by, a policy that is not a modified endowment contract are subject to the 10.00% additional income tax penalty.

Investment in the Policy

Your investment in the policy is generally the total of your aggregate premiums. When a distribution is taken from the policy, your investment in the policy is reduced by the amount of the distribution that is tax free.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

General Provisions

Order Processing

In certain circumstances, we may need to correct the pricing associated with an order that has been processed. In such circumstances, we may incur a loss or receive a gain depending upon the price of the fund when the order was executed and the price of the fund when the order is corrected. Losses may be covered from our assets and gains that may result from such order correction will be retained by us as additional compensation associated with order processing.

Your Policy

The policy is a contract between you and us and is the combination of:

· Your policy;

· A copy of your original application and applications for benefit increases or decreases;

· Your riders;

· Your endorsements;

· Your policy schedule pages; and

· Your reinstatement applications.

Select*Life II
67

If you make a change to your coverage, we give you a copy of your changed application and new policy schedules. If you send your policy to us, we attach these items to your policy and return it to you. Otherwise, you need to attach them to your policy.

Unless there is fraud, we consider all statements made in an application to be representations and not guarantees. We use no statement to deny a claim, unless it is in an application.

A president or other officer of our Company and our secretary or assistant secretary must sign all changes or amendments to your policy. No other person may change its terms or conditions.

Age

We issue your policy at the insured person’s age (stated in your policy schedule) based on the last birthday as of the policy date. On the policy date, the insured person can generally be no more than age 80.

We often use age to calculate rates, charges and values. We determine the insured person’s age at a given time by adding the number of completed policy years to the age calculated at issue and shown in the schedule.

Ownership

The original owner is the person named as the owner in the policy application. The owner can exercise all rights and receive benefits during the life of the insured person. These rights include the right to change the owner, beneficiaries or the method designated to pay death benefit proceeds.

As a matter of law, all rights of ownership are limited by the rights of any person who has been assigned rights under the policy and any irrevocable beneficiaries.

You may name a new owner by giving us written notice. The effective date of the change to the new owner is the date the prior owner signs the notice. However, we will not be liable for any action we take before a change is recorded by Customer Service. A change in ownership may cause the prior owner to recognize taxable income on gain under the policy.

Beneficiaries

You, as owner, name the beneficiaries when you apply for your policy. The primary beneficiaries who survive the insured person receive the death benefit proceeds. Other surviving beneficiaries receive death benefit proceeds only if there are no surviving primary beneficiaries. If more than one beneficiary survives the insured person, they share the death benefit proceeds equally, unless you specify otherwise. If none of your policy beneficiaries has survived the insured person, we pay the death benefit proceeds to you or to your estate, as owner. If a beneficiary is a minor, the death benefit proceeds will be held in an interest bearing account until that beneficiary attains the age of majority.

Select*Life II
68

You may name new beneficiaries during the insured person’s lifetime. We pay death benefit proceeds to the beneficiaries whom you have most recently named according to our records. We do not make payments to multiple sets of beneficiaries. The designation of certain beneficiaries may have tax consequences. See Other Tax Matters, page 59.

Collateral Assignment

You may assign your policy by sending written notice to us. After we record the assignment, your rights as owner and the beneficiaries’ rights (unless the beneficiaries were made irrevocable beneficiaries under an earlier assignment) are subject to the assignment. It is your responsibility to make sure the assignment is valid. The transfer or assignment of a policy may have tax consequences. See Other Tax Matters, page 59.

Incontestability

After your policy has been in force during the lifetime of the insured person for two years from your policy date, we will not contest its validity except for nonpayment of premium. Likewise, after your policy has been in force during the lifetime of the insured person for two years from the effective date of any new coverage segment or benefit or from the date of reinstatement, we will not contest its validity except for nonpayment of premium.

In the policy form the “policy date” is referred to as the “Issue Date.”

Misstatements of Age or Gender

Notwithstanding the Incontestability provision above, if the insured person’s age or gender has been misstated, we adjust the death benefit to the amount that would have been purchased for the insured person’s correct age and gender. We base the adjusted death benefit on the cost of insurance charges deducted from your policy value on the last monthly processing date before the insured person’s death, or as otherwise required by law.

If unisex cost of insurance rates apply, we do not make any adjustments for a misstatement of gender.

Suicide

If the insured person commits suicide (while sane or insane) within two years of your policy date, unless otherwise required by law, we limit death benefit proceeds to:

· The total premium we receive to the time of death; minus

· Outstanding loan amount; minus

· Partial withdrawals taken.

Select*Life II
69

We make a limited payment to the beneficiaries for a new coverage segment or other increase if the insured person commits suicide (while sane or insane) within two years of the effective date of a new coverage segment or within two years of an increase in any other benefit, unless otherwise required by law. The limited payment is equal to the cost of insurance charges that were deducted for the increase.

Anti-Money Laundering

In order to protect against the possible misuse of our products in money laundering or terrorist financing, we have adopted an anti-money laundering program satisfying the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act and other current anti-money laundering laws. Among other things, this program requires us, our agents and customers to comply with certain procedures and standards that serve to assure that our customers’ identities are properly verified and that premiums and loan repayments are not derived from improper sources.

Under our anti-money laundering program, we may require policy owners, insured persons and/or beneficiaries to provide sufficient evidence of identification, and we reserve the right to verify any information provided to us by accessing information databases maintained internally or by outside firms.

We may also refuse to accept certain forms of premium payments or loan repayments (traveler’s cheques, for example) or restrict the amount of certain forms of premium payments or loan repayments. In addition, we may require information as to why a particular form of payment was used (third party checks, for example) and the source of the funds of such payment in order to determine whether or not we will accept it. Use of an unacceptable form of payment may result in us returning the payment to you and your policy either entering the 61-day grace period or lapsing. See Lapse, page 56. See also Premium Payments Affect Your Coverage, page 24.

Applicable laws designed to prevent terrorist financing and money laundering might, in certain circumstances, require us to block certain transactions until authorization is received from the appropriate regulator. We may also be required to provide additional information about you and your policy to government regulators.

Our anti-money laundering program is subject to change without notice to take account of changes in applicable laws or regulations and our ongoing assessment of our exposure to illegal activity.

Unclaimed Property

Every state has some form of unclaimed property laws that impose varying legal and practical obligations on insurers and, indirectly, on policy owners, insureds, beneficiaries and other payees of proceeds. Unclaimed property laws generally provide for escheatment to the state of unclaimed proceeds under various circumstances.

Select*Life II
70

Policy owners are urged to keep their own, as well as their beneficiaries’ and other payees’, information up to date, including full names, postal and electronic media addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers. Such updates should be communicated to Customer Service in writing or by calling 1-877-885-5050.

Cyber Security

Like others in our industry, we are subject to operational and information security risks resulting from “cyber-attacks,” “hacking” or similar illegal or unauthorized intrusions into computer systems and networks. These risks include, among other things, the theft, misuse, corruption and destruction of data maintained online or digitally, denial of service attacks on websites and other operational disruption and unauthorized release of confidential customer information. Although we seek to limit our vulnerability to such risks through technological and other means and we rely on industry standard commercial technologies to maintain the security of our information systems, it is not possible to anticipate or prevent all potential forms of cyber-attack or to guarantee our ability to fully defend against all such attacks. In addition, due to the sensitive nature of much of the financial and similar personal information we maintain, we may be at particular risk for targeting.

Cyber-attacks affecting us, any third party administrator, the underlying funds, intermediaries and other affiliated or third-party service providers may adversely affect us and your policy value. For instance, cyber-attacks may interfere with our processing of policy transactions, including the processing of orders from our website or with the underlying funds, impact our ability to calculate accumulation unit values, cause the release and possible destruction of confidential customer or business information, impede order processing, subject us and/or our service providers and intermediaries to regulatory fines and financial losses and/or cause reputational damage. Cyber security risks may also affect the issuers of securities in which the underlying funds invest, which may cause the funds underlying your policy to lose value. There can be no assurance that we or the underlying funds or our service providers will avoid losses affecting your policy that result from cyber-attacks or information security breaches in the future.

Transaction Processing

Generally, within seven days of when we receive all information required to process a payment, we pay:

· Death benefit proceeds;

· Surrender value;

· Partial withdrawals; and

· Loan proceeds.

Select*Life II
71

We reserve the right to suspend or postpone the date of any payment of benefits or processing these transactions beyond the seven permitted days, under any of the following circumstances:

· On any Valuation Date when the NYSE is closed (except customary weekend and holiday closings) or when trading on the NYSE is restricted;

· When an emergency exists as determined by the SEC; or

· During any other periods the SEC may, by order, permit for the protection of investors.

The conditions under which restricted trading or an emergency exists shall be determined by the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Payment of benefits or values may also be delayed or suspended as required by court order or any regulatory action.

We execute transfers among the subaccounts as of the valuation date Customer Service receives your request.

We determine the death benefit as of the date of the insured person’s death. The death benefit proceeds are not affected by subsequent changes in the value of the subaccounts.

We may delay payment from our fixed account for up to six months, unless law requires otherwise, of surrender proceeds, withdrawal amounts or loan amounts. If we delay payment more than 30 days, we pay interest at our declared rate (or at a higher rate if required by law) from the date we receive your complete request.

Payment of Death Benefit Proceeds

Subject to the conditions and requirements of state law, full payment of the death benefit proceeds (“Proceeds”) to a beneficiary may be made either into an interest bearing retained asset account that is backed by our general account or by check. For additional information about the payment options available to you, please refer to your claim forms or contact us at the address listed on page 2 of this prospectus. Beneficiaries should carefully review all settlement and payment options available under the policy and are encouraged to consult with a financial professional or tax adviser before choosing a settlement or payment option.

Select*Life II
72

The Retained Asset Account. The retained asset account, known as the Voya Personal Transition Account, is an interest bearing account backed by our general account. The retained asset account is not guaranteed by the FDIC and, as part of our general account, is subject to the claims of our creditors. Beneficiaries that receive their payment through the retained asset account may access the entire Proceeds in the account at any time without penalty through a draftbook feature. The Company seeks to earn a profit on the account, and interest credited on the account may vary from time to time but will not be less than the minimum rate stated in the supplemental contract delivered to the beneficiary together with the paperwork to make a claim to the Proceeds. Interest earned on the Proceeds in the account may be less than could be earned if the Proceeds were invested outside of the account. Likewise, interest credited on the Proceeds in the account may be less than under other settlement or payment options available through the policy.

Notification and Claims Procedures

Except for certain authorized telephone requests, we must receive in writing any election, designation, change, assignment or request made by the owner.

You must use a form acceptable to us. We are not liable for actions taken before we receive and record the written notice. We may require you to return your policy for policy changes or if you surrender it.

If the insured person dies while your policy is in force, please let us know as soon as possible. We will send you instructions on how to make a claim. As proof of the insured person’s death, we may require proof of the deceased insured person’s age and a certified copy of the death certificate.

The beneficiaries and the deceased insured person’s next of kin may need to sign authorization forms. These forms allow us to get information such as medical records of doctors and hospitals used by the deceased insured person.

Telephone Privileges

Telephone privileges may be provided to you and your agent/registered representative and his/her assistant. You may request such privileges for yourself and you may authorize us to grant such privileges to your agent/registered representative and his/her assistant by making the appropriate election(s) on your application or by contacting Customer Service.

Telephone privileges allow you or your agent/registered representative and his/her assistant to call Customer Service to:

· Make transfers;

· Change premium allocations;

· Change your dollar cost averaging and automatic rebalancing programs; and

· Request a loan.

Select*Life II
73

Customer Service uses reasonable procedures to make sure that instructions received by telephone are genuine. These procedures may include:

· Requiring some form of personal identification;

· Providing written confirmation of any transactions; and

· Tape recording telephone calls.

By accepting telephone privileges, you authorize us to record your telephone calls with us. If we reasonably believe telephone instructions to be genuine, we are not liable for losses from unauthorized or fraudulent instructions. We may discontinue or limit this privilege at any time. See Limits on Frequent or Disruptive Transfers, page 51.

Telephone and facsimile privileges may not always be available. Telephone or fax systems, whether yours, your service provider’s or your agent’s, can experience outages or slowdowns for a variety of reasons. These outages or slowdowns may prevent or delay our receipt of your request. Although we have taken precautions to help our systems handle heavy use, we cannot promise complete reliability under all circumstances. If you are experiencing problems, you should make your request in writing.

Non-participation

Your policy does not participate in the surplus earnings of ReliaStar Life Insurance Company.

Advertising Practices and Sales Literature

We may use advertisements and sales literature to promote this product, including:

· Articles on variable life insurance and other information published in business or financial publications;

· Indices or rankings of investment securities; and

· Comparisons with other investment vehicles, including tax considerations.

We may use information regarding the past performance of the subaccounts and funds. Past performance is not indicative of future performance of the subaccounts or funds and is not reflective of the actual investment experience of policy owners.

We may feature certain subaccounts, the underlying funds and their managers, as well as describe asset levels and sales volumes. We may refer to past, current, or prospective economic trends and investment performance or other information we believe may be of interest to our customers.

Select*Life II
74

Settlement Options

You may elect to take the surrender value in other than one lump-sum payment. Likewise, you may elect to have the beneficiaries receive the death benefit proceeds other than in one lump-sum payment, if you make this election during the insured person’s lifetime. If you have not made this election, the beneficiaries may do so within 60 days after we receive proof of the insured person’s death.

The investment performance of the subaccounts does not affect payments under these settlement options. Instead, interest accrues at a fixed rate based on the option you choose. Payment options are subject to our rules at the time you make your selection. Currently, a periodic payment must be at least $25.00 and the total proceeds must be at least $2,500.00.

The following settlement options are available:

· Option 1 – The proceeds are left with us to earn interest. Withdrawals and any changes are subject to our approval;

· Option 2 – The proceeds and interest are paid in equal installments of a specified amount until the proceeds and interest are all paid;

· Option 3 – The proceeds and interest are paid in equal installments for a specified period until the proceeds and interest are all paid;

· Option 4 – The proceeds provide an annuity payment with a specified number of months. The payments are continued for the life of the primary payee. If the primary payee dies before the certain period is over, the remaining payments are paid to a contingent payee;

· Option 5 – The proceeds provide a life income for two payees. When one payee dies, the surviving payee receives two-thirds of the amount of the joint monthly payment for life; and

· Option 6 – The proceeds are used to provide an annuity based on the rates in effect when the proceeds are applied. We will not apply this option if a similar option would be more favorable to the payee at that time.

As a general rule, more frequent payments will result in smaller individual payments. Likewise, payments that are anticipated over a longer period of time will also result in smaller individual payments.

Interest on Settlement Options. We base the interest rate for proceeds applied under Options 1 and 2 on the interest rate we declare on money that we consider to be in the same classification based on the option, restrictions on withdrawal and other factors. The interest rate will never be less than an effective annual rate of 3.50%.

In determining amounts we pay under Options 3 and 4, we assume interest at an effective annual rate of 3.50%. Also, for Option 3 and periods certain under Option 4, we credit any excess interest we may declare on money that we consider to be in the same classification based on the option, restrictions on withdrawal and other factors.

Select*Life II
75

If none of these settlement options have been elected, your surrender value or the death benefit proceeds will be paid in one lump-sum payment.

Payment of Surrender Value or Death Benefit Proceeds

Subject to the conditions and requirements of state law, full payment of your surrender value or the death benefit proceeds (“Proceeds”) to a beneficiary may be made either into an interest bearing retained asset account that is backed by our general account or by check. For additional information about the payment options available to you, please refer to your claim forms or contact us at the address shown on page 2 of this prospectus. Beneficiaries should carefully review all settlement and payment options available under the policy and are encouraged to consult with a financial professional or tax adviser before choosing a settlement or payment option. See Payment of Death Benefit Proceeds – The Retained Asset Account, page 72, for more information about the retained asset account.

Reports

Annual Statement. We will send you an annual statement once each year free of charge showing the amount of insurance coverage under your policy as well as your policy’s death benefit, policy and surrender values, the amount of premiums you have paid, the amounts you have withdrawn, borrowed or transferred and the fees and charges we have imposed since the last statement.

Additional statements are available upon request. We may make a charge not to exceed $50.00 for each additional annual statement you request. See Excess Annual Report Fee, page 27.

We send semi-annual reports with financial information on the mutual funds, including a list of investment holdings of each fund.

We send confirmation notices to you throughout the year for certain policy transactions such as transfers between investment options, partial withdrawals and loans. You are responsible for reviewing the confirmation notices to verify that the transactions are being made as requested.

Illustrations. To help you better understand how your policy values will vary over time under different sets of assumptions, we will provide you with a personalized illustration projecting future results based on the age and risk classification of the insured person and other factors such as the amount of insurance coverage, death benefit option, premiums and rates of return (within limits) you specify. Unless prohibited under state law, we may make a charge not to exceed $50.00 for each illustration you request after the first in a policy year. See Excess Illustration Fee, page 27.

Other Reports. We will mail to you at your last known address of record at least annually a report containing such information as may be required by any applicable law. To reduce expenses, only one copy of most financial reports and prospectuses, including reports and prospectuses for the funds, will be mailed to your household, even if you or other persons in your household have more than one policy issued by us or an affiliate. Call Customer Service at 1-877-886-5050 if you need additional copies of financial reports, prospectuses, historical account information or annual or semi-annual reports or if you would like to receive one copy for each policy in all future mailings.

The Coronavirus Pandemic

In response to the 2020 coronavirus pandemic, the company will, for qualified individuals (as defined below), extend the grace period for payment of premiums. This extension of the grace period will be available for a limited period of time and will be subject to certain conditions and restrictions that we will impose on a non-discriminatory basis.

A “qualified individual” is an individual in one of the following categories:

· The individual is diagnosed with the virus SARS-CoV-2 or with coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) by a test approved by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention;

· The individual’s spouse or dependent is diagnosed with such virus or disease; or

· The individual experiences adverse financial consequences as a result of being quarantined, being furloughed or laid off or having work hours reduced due to such virus or disease, being unable to work due to lack of child care due to such virus or disease, closing or reducing hours of a business owned or operated by the individual due to such virus or disease, or other factors as determined by Internal Revenue Service.

To determine your eligibility for extension of the grace period, please contact Customer Service.

Distribution of the Policy

We sell the policy through licensed insurance agents who are registered representatives of affiliated and unaffiliated broker/dealers. All broker/dealers who sell the policy have entered into selling agreements with Voya America Equities, Inc., our affiliate and the principal underwriter and distributor of the policy. Voya America Equities, Inc. is organized under the laws of the State of Colorado, registered with the SEC as a broker/dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and a member of FINRA. Its principal office is located at One Orange Way, Windsor, CT 06095.

Voya America Equities, Inc. offers the securities under the policies on a continuous basis. For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the aggregate amount of underwriting commissions we paid to Voya America Equities, Inc. was $560,874, $3,739,735 and $3,733,205, respectively.

Select*Life II
77

Voya America Equities, Inc. does not retain any commissions or other amounts paid to it by us for sales of the policy. Rather, it pays all the amounts received from us to the broker/dealers for selling the policy and part of that payment goes to your agent/registered representative.

Voya Financial Partners, Inc., an affiliated broker-dealer, has entered into an agreement with Voya America Equities, Inc. for the sale of our variable life products.

The amounts that we pay for the sale of the policy can generally be categorized as either commissions or other amounts. The commissions we pay can be further categorized as base commissions and supplemental or wholesaling commissions. However categorized, commissions paid will not exceed the total of the percentages shown below.

Base commissions consist of a percentage of premium we receive for the policy up to the target premium amount, a percentage of premium we receive for the policy in excess of the target premium amount and, as a trail commission, a percentage of your average unloaned policy value. First year commission pays up to 100.00% of premium received up to target and 4.00% of premium in excess of target in the first year, 3.00% of total premium received in the second year and thereafter (renewal commission), and 0.20% of the average unloaned policy value in a year when the average unloaned policy value is greater than or equal to $5,000.00.

Supplemental or wholesaling commissions are paid based on a percentage of target premiums we receive for the policy and certain other designated insurance products sold during a calendar year. The percentages of such commissions that we may pay may increase as the aggregate amount of premiums received for all products issued by the Company and/or its affiliates during the calendar year increases. The maximum percentage of supplemental or wholesaling commissions that we may pay is 0.00%.

Generally, the commissions paid on premiums for base coverage under the policy are greater than those paid on premiums for coverage under the Term Insurance Rider. Be aware of this and discuss with your agent/registered representative the appropriate usage of the Term Insurance Rider coverage for your particular situation.

In addition to the sales compensation described above, Voya America Equities, Inc. or the Company, as appropriate, may also pay broker-dealers additional compensation or reimbursement of expenses for their efforts in selling the policy to you and other customers. These amounts may include:

· Marketing/distribution allowances which may be based on the percentages of premium received, the aggregate commissions paid and/or the aggregate assets held in relation to certain types of designated insurance products issued by the Company and/or its affiliates during the year;

· Loans or advances of commissions in anticipation of future receipt of premiums (a form of lending to agents/registered representatives). These loans may have advantageous terms such as reduction or elimination of the interest charged on the loan and/or forgiveness of the principal amount of the loan, which terms may be conditioned on fixed insurance product sales;

Select*Life II
78

· Education and training allowances to facilitate our attendance at certain educational and training meetings to provide information and training about our products. We also hold training programs from time to time at our own expense;

· Sponsorship payments or reimbursements for broker/dealers to use in sales contests and/or meetings for their agents/registered representatives who sell our products. We do not hold contests based solely on sales of this product;

· Certain overrides and other benefits that may include cash compensation based on the amount of earned commissions, agent/representative recruiting or other activities that promote the sale of the policy; and

· Additional cash or noncash compensation and reimbursements permissible under existing law. This may include, but is not limited to, cash incentives, 27merchandise, trips, occasional entertainment, meals and tickets to sporting events, client appreciation events, business and educational enhancement items, payment for travel expenses (including meals and lodging) to pre-approved training and education seminars, and payment for advertising and sales campaigns.

We may pay commissions, dealer concessions, wholesaling fees, overrides, bonuses, other allowances and benefits and the costs of all other incentives or training programs from our resources, which include the fees and charges imposed under the policy.

The following is a list of the top 25 broker/dealers that, during 2019, received the most, in the aggregate, from us in connection with the sale of registered variable life insurance policies issued by us, ranked by total dollars received and by total commissions paid:

· M Holdings Securities, Inc.;

· Voya Financial Advisors, Inc.;

· Kestra Investment Services, LLC;

· The Leaders Group, Inc.;

This is a general discussion of the types and levels of compensation paid by us for the sale of our variable life insurance policies. It is important for you to know that the payment of volume or sales-based compensation to a broker/dealer or registered representative may provide that registered representative a financial incentive to promote our policies over those of another company, and may also provide a financial incentive to promote the policy offered by this prospectus over one of our other policies.

Legal Proceedings

We are not aware of any pending legal proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s ability to meet its obligations under the policy, Voya America Equities, Inc.’s ability to distribute the policy or upon the variable account.

· Litigation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and/or Voya America Equities, Inc., is a defendant in a number of litigation matters arising from the conduct of its business, both in the ordinary course and otherwise. In some of these matters, claimants seek to recover very large or indeterminate amounts, including compensatory, punitive, treble and exemplary damages. Certain claims are asserted as class actions. Modern pleading practice in the U.S. permits considerable variation in the assertion of monetary damages and other relief. The variability in pleading requirements and past experience demonstrates that the monetary and other relief that may be requested in a lawsuit or claim oftentimes bears little relevance to the merits or potential value of a claim.

· Regulatory Matters. As with other financial services companies, the Company and its affiliates, including Voya America Equities, Inc., periodically receive informal and formal requests for information from various state and federal governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations in connection with inquiries and investigations of the products and practices of the Company or the financial services industry. It is the practice of the Company to cooperate fully in these matters.

The outcome of a litigation or regulatory matter and the amount or range of potential loss is difficult to forecast and estimating potential losses requires significant management judgment. It is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome for all pending litigation and regulatory matters and given the large and indeterminate amounts sought and the inherent unpredictability of such matters, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain litigation or regulatory matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect upon the Company's results of operations or cash flows in a particular quarterly or annual period.

GENERAL INFORMATION AND HISTORY

ReliaStar Life Insurance Company (“ReliaStar,” “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company”) issues the Select*Life II policy and is responsible for providing the policy’s insurance benefits. All guarantees and benefits provided under the policy that are not related to the variable account are subject to the claims paying ability of the Company and our general account. We are a stock life insurance company organized in 1885 and incorporated under the laws of the State of Minnesota. We are admitted to do business in the District of Columbia and all states except New York. Our headquarters is at 20 Washington Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN 55401.

We established the Select*Life Variable Account (the “variable account”) on October 11, 1984, under the laws of the State of Minnesota for the purpose of funding variable life insurance policies issued by us. The variable account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Premium payments may be allocated to one or more of the available subaccounts of the variable account. Each subaccount invests in shares of a corresponding mutual fund at net asset value. We may make additions to, deletions from or substitutions of available mutual funds as permitted by law and subject to the conditions of the policy.

Other than the policy owner fees and charges described in the prospectus, all expenses incurred in the operations of the variable account are borne by the Company. We do, however, receive compensation for certain recordkeeping, administration or other services from the mutual funds or affiliates of the mutual funds available through the policies. See “Fund Fees and Expenses” in the prospectus.

The Company maintains custody of the assets of the variable account. As custodian, the Company holds cash balances for the variable account pending investment in the mutual funds or distribution. The mutual funds in whose shares the assets of the subaccounts of the variable account are invested each have custodians, as discussed in the respective mutual fund prospectuses.

PERFORMANCE REPORTING AND ADVERTISING

Information regarding the past, or historical, performance of the subaccounts of the variable account and the mutual funds available for investment through the subaccounts of the variable account may appear in advertisements, sales literature or reports to policy owners or prospective purchasers. Such performance information for the subaccounts will reflect the deduction of all fund fees and charges, including investment management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees and other expenses but will not reflect deductions for any policy fees and charges. If the policy's premium expense, cost of insurance, administrative and mortality and expense risk charges and the other transaction, periodic or optional benefits fees and charges were deducted, the performance shown would be significantly lower.

With respect to performance reporting it is important to remember that past performance does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown and actual investment returns and principal values will fluctuate so that shares and/or units, at redemption, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Performance history of the subaccounts of the variable account and the corresponding mutual funds is measured by comparing the value at the beginning of the period to the value at the end of the period. Performance is usually calculated for periods of one month, three months, year-to-date, one year, three years, five years, ten years (if the mutual fund has been in existence for these periods) and since the inception date of the mutual fund (if the mutual fund has been in existence for less than ten years). We may provide performance information showing average annual total returns for periods prior to the date a subaccount commenced operation. We will calculate such performance information based on the assumption that the subaccounts were in existence for the same periods as those indicated for the mutual funds, with the level of charges at the variable account level that were in effect at the inception of the subaccounts. Performance information will be specific to the class of mutual fund shares offered through the policy, however, for periods prior to the date a class of mutual fund shares commenced operations, performance information may be based on a different class of shares of the same mutual fund. In this case, performance for the periods prior to the date a class of mutual fund shares commenced operations will be adjusted by the mutual fund fees and expenses associated with the class of mutual fund shares offered through the policy.

We may compare performance of the subaccounts and/or the mutual funds as reported from time to time in advertisements and sales literature to other variable life insurance issuers in general; to the performance of particular types of variable life insurance policies investing in mutual funds; or to investment series of mutual funds with investment objectives similar to each of the subaccounts, whose performance is reported by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. (“Lipper”) and Morningstar. Inc. (“Morningstar”) or reported by other series, companies, individuals or other industry or financial publications of general interest, such as Forbes, Money, The Wall Street Journal, Business Week, Barron's, Kiplinger's and Fortune. Lipper and Morningstar are independent services that monitor and rank the performances of variable life insurance issuers in each of the major categories of investment objectives on an industry-wide basis.

Lipper's and Morningstar's rankings include variable annuity issuers as well as variable life insurance issuers. The performance analysis prepared by Lipper and Morningstar ranks such issuers on the basis of total return, assuming reinvestment of distributions, but does not take sales charges, redemption fees or certain expense deductions at the separate account level into consideration. We may also compare the performance of each subaccount in advertising and sales literature to the Standard & Poor's Index of 500 common stocks and the Dow Jones Industrials, which are widely used measures of stock market performance. We may also compare the performance of each subaccount to other widely recognized indices. Unmanaged indices may assume the reinvestment of dividends, but typically do not reflect any “deduction” for the expense of operating or managing an investment portfolio.

To help you better understand how your policy's death benefits, policy value and surrender value will vary over time under different sets of assumptions, we encourage you to obtain a personalized illustration. Personalized illustrations will assume deductions for fund expenses and policy and variable account charges. We will base these illustrations on the age and risk classification of the insured person and other factors such as the amount of insurance coverage, death benefit option, premiums and rates of return (within limits) you specify. These personalized illustrations will be based on either a hypothetical investment return of the mutual funds of 0.00% and other percentages not to exceed 12.00% or on the actual historical experience of the mutual funds as if the subaccounts had been in existence and a policy issued for the same periods as those indicated for the mutual funds. Subject to regulatory approval, personalized illustrations may be based upon a weighted average of fund expenses rather than an arithmetic average. A personalized illustration is available upon request by contacting Customer Service at P.O. Box 5011, Minot, ND 58702-5011 or by calling 1-877-886-5050.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of each of the subaccounts listed in the Appendix that comprise Select*Life Variable Account of ReliaStar Life Insurance Company (the Separate Account), as of December 31, 2019, the related statements of operations and the statements of changes in net assets for each of the periods indicated in the Appendix, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each subaccount as of December 31, 2019, the results of its operations and changes in its net assets for each of the periods indicated in the Appendix, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Separate Account’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the subaccounts’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Separate Account in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2019, by correspondence with the fund companies or their transfer agents, as applicable. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Separate Accounts Auditor since 2001.

SELECT*LIFE VARIABLE ACCOUNT

Notes to Financial Statements

1.Organization

ReliaStar Life Insurance Company Select*Life Variable Account (the “Account”) was established by ReliaStar Life Insurance Company (“ReliaStar Life” or “the Company”) to support the operations of variable life policies (“Policies”). The Company is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Voya Financial, Inc. (“Voya Financial”), a holding company domiciled in the State of Delaware.

Prior to May 2013, Voya Financial, which together with its subsidiaries, including the Company, was an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of ING Groep N.V. ("ING"), a global financial services holding company based in The Netherlands. In May 2013, Voya Financial, Inc. completed its initial public offering of common stock, including the issuance and sale of common stock by Voya Financial, Inc. and the sale of shares of common stock owned indirectly by ING. Between October 2013 and March 2015, ING completed the sale of its remaining shares of common stock of Voya Financial, Inc. in a series of registered public offerings.

The Account is registered as a unit investment trust with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Policies consist of the Select*Life I product and Select*Life Series 2000 product, which incorporates Select*Life II, Select*Life III, Variable Estate Design, Flexdesign® VUL, Voya Protector Elite, Voya Investor Elite and Variable Accumulation Design^SM products. ReliaStar Life provides for variable accumulation and benefits under the Policies by crediting premium payments to one or more divisions within the Account or the fixed account (an investment option in the Company’s general account), as directed by the policyholders. The portion of the Account’s assets applicable to Policies will not be charged with liabilities arising out of any other business ReliaStar Life may conduct, but obligations of the Account, including the promise to make benefit payments, are obligations of ReliaStar Life. Under applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities of the Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the other assets and liabilities of ReliaStar Life.

At December 31, 2019, the Account had 58 investment divisions (the “Divisions”), 9 of which invest in independently managed mutual funds and 49 of which invest in mutual funds managed by an affiliate, Voya Investments, LLC (“VIL”). The assets in each Division are invested in shares of a designated fund (“Fund”) of various investment trusts (“the Trusts”).

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the Account:

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investments

Investments are made in shares of a Division and are recorded at fair value, determined by the net asset value per share of the respective Division. Investment transactions in each Division are recorded on the trade date. Distributions of net investment income and capital gains from each Division are recognized on the ex-distribution date. Realized gains and losses on redemptions of the shares of the Division are determined on a first-in, first-out basis. The difference between cost and current fair value of investments owned on the day of measurement is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments.

Federal Income Taxes

Operations of the Account form a part of, and are taxed with, the total operations of ReliaStar Life, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”). Under the current provisions of the IRC, the Company does not expect to incur federal income taxes on the earnings of the Account to the extent the earnings are credited to policyholders. Accordingly, earnings and realized capital gains of the Account attributable to the policyholders are excluded in the determination of the federal income tax liability of ReliaStar Life, and no charge is being made to the Account for federal income taxes for these amounts. The Company will review this tax accounting in the event of changes in the tax law. Such changes in the law may result in a charge for federal income taxes. Uncertain tax positions are assessed at the parent level on a consolidated basis, including taxes of the operations of the Separate Account.

Policyholder Reserves

Policyholder reserves of the Account are represented by net assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are equal to the aggregate account values of the policyholders invested in the Account Divisions. To the extent that benefits to be paid to the policyholders exceed their account values, ReliaStar Life will contribute additional funds to the benefit proceeds. Conversely, if amounts allocated exceed amounts required, transfers may be made to ReliaStar Life.

RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

SELECT*LIFE VARIABLE ACCOUNT

Notes to Financial Statements

Changes from Principal Transactions

Included in Changes from principal transactions on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets are items which relate to policyholder activity, including premiums, death benefits, surrenders and withdrawals, policy loans, contract charges, cost of insurance and administrative charges. Also included are transfers between the fixed account and the Divisions, transfers between Divisions, and transfers to (from) ReliaStar Life related to gains and losses resulting from actual mortality experience (the full responsibility for which is assumed by ReliaStar Life). Any net unsettled transactions as of the reporting date are included in payable to receivable from related parties on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Subsequent Events

The Account has evaluated all events occurring after December 31, 2019 through the date the financial statements were available to be issued, to determine whether any event required either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. Subsequent to December 31, 2019, the spread of the COVID-19 virus caused significant financial market volatility, economic uncertainty, and interruptions to normal business activities. As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the full impact to the Account is unknown, but could be material, since the outbreak is still evolving and thus there is significant uncertainty as to its ultimate impacts on the Account.

3. Financial Instruments

The Account invests assets in shares of open-end mutual funds, which process orders to purchase and redeem shares on a daily basis at the fund's next computed net asset values (“NAV”). The fair value of the Account’s assets is based on the NAVs of mutual funds, which are obtained from the transfer agents or fund companies and reflect the fair values of the mutual fund investments. The NAV is calculated daily upon close of the New York Stock Exchange and is based on the fair values of the underlying securities.

The Account’s assets are recorded at fair value on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are categorized as Level 1 as of December 31, 2019 based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique below. There were no transfers among the levels for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Account had no liabilities as of December 31, 2019.

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

▪Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market. The Account defines an active market as a market in which transactions take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

SELECT*LIFE VARIABLE ACCOUNT

Notes to Financial Statements

▪Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active or valuation techniques that require inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following:

a.Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

b.Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets;

c.Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable; and

d.Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means.

▪Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These valuations, whether derived internally or obtained from a third party, use critical assumptions that are not widely available to estimate market participant expectations in valuing the asset or liability.

4. Charges and Fees

Under the terms of the Policies, certain charges and fees are incurred by the Policies to cover ReliaStar Life’s expenses in connection with the issuance and administration of the Policies. Following is a summary of these charges and fees:

Premium Expense Charge

ReliaStar Life deducts a premium charge ranging from 3.00% to 8.00% of each premium payment as defined in the Policies. These charges are assessed through the redemption of units.

Mortality and Expense Risk Charges

ReliaStar Life assumes mortality and expense risks related to the operations of the Account and, in accordance with the terms of the Policies, deducts a mortality and expense risk charge from the assets of the Account. Monthly charges are deducted at annual rates of up to 0.90% of the average daily net asset value of each Division of the Account to cover these risks, as specified in the Policies. These charges are assessed through a reduction in unit values.

Other Policy Charges

The cost of insurance charge varies based on the insured’s sex, issue age, policy year, rate class, and the face amount of the Policies. The monthly amount charged and charges for optional insurance benefits vary based on a number of factors and are defined in the Policies. These charges are assessed through the redemption of units.

The monthly administrative charge currently ranges from $8.25 to $19.00 per month. Monthly administrative charges for Select*Life II (policies with policy dates before February 17, 2004), Select*Life III, Flexdesign® VUL, Variable Estate Design and Variable Accumulation Design products are guaranteed not to exceed $12.00 per month.

RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

SELECT*LIFE VARIABLE ACCOUNT

Notes to Financial Statements

Monthly administrative charges for Select*Life II policies with policy dates on or after February 17, 2004 are guaranteed not to exceed $10.00 per month. These charges are assessed through the redemption of units.

Surrender and Lapse Charges

As defined in the Policies, ReliaStar Life assesses a surrender charge if the Policies lapse or are surrendered before a specified period. These charges are assessed through the redemption of units.

Fees Waived by ReliaStar Life

Certain charges and fees for various types of Policies may be waived by ReliaStar Life. ReliaStar Life reserves the right to discontinue these waivers at its discretion or to conform with changes in the law.

5. Related Party Transactions

On May 1, 2017, VIL was appointed investment adviser for these certain additional U.S registered investment companies previously managed by Directed Services LLC (“DSL”),Voya Balanced Portfolio, Inc., Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio, Voya Investors Trust, Voya Partners Inc., Voya Strategic Allocation Portfolios, Inc., Voya Variable Funds, Voya Variable Portfolios, Inc., and Voya Variable Products Trust, which in turn caused DSL and Voya Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company ("VRIAC") to terminate a separate intercompany agreement dated as of December 22, 2010 between DSL and VRIAC by which DSL had paid a portion of the revenue DSL earned as investment adviser.

Management fees were paid to VIL, an affiliate of the Company, in its capacity as investment adviser to Voya Balanced Portfolio, Inc., Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio, Voya Investors Trust, Voya Partners, Inc., Voya Strategic Allocation Portfolios, Inc., Voya Variable Funds, Voya Variable Portfolios, Inc., and Voya Variable Products Trust. The Trusts’ advisory agreements provide for fees at annual rates ranging from 0.20% to 1.25% of the average net assets of each respective Fund.

Notes to Financial Statements

(a)

As investment Division had no investments until 2015, this data is not meaningful and is therefore not presented.

(e)

As investment Division had no investments until 2019, this data is not meaningful and is therefore not presented.

The Fund Inception Date represents the first date the fund received money.

The Investment Income Ratio represents dividends received by the Division, excluding capital gains distributions, divided by the average net assets.

The recognition of investment income is determined by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the Division invests.

The Expense Ratio considers only the annualized contract expenses borne directly by the Account, excluding expenses charged through the redemption of units, and is equal to the mortality and expense, administrative, and other charges, as defined in the Charges and Fees note. Certain items in this table are presented as a range of minimum and maximum values; however, such information is calculated independently for each column in the table.

Total Return is calculated as the change in unit value for each Policy presented in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Certain items in this table are presented as a range of minimum and maximum values; however, such information is calculated independently for each column in the table.

Report of Independent Auditors

The Board of Directors and Stockholder

ReliaStar Life Insurance Company

We have audited the accompanying statutory-basis financial statements of ReliaStar Life Insurance Company, which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related statements of operations, changes in capital and surplus and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

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

Auditor’s Responsibility

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

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

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

As described in Note 1 to the statutory-basis financial statements, the Company prepared these financial statements using accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Minnesota Department of Commerce, Division of Insurance, which is a basis of accounting other than U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The effects on the financial statements of the variances

between these statutory accounting practices and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material.

Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

In our opinion, because of the significance of the matter described in the Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles paragraph, the statutory-basis financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2019 and 2018, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019.

Opinion on Statutory-Basis of Accounting

In our opinion, the statutory-basis financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019, on the basis of accounting described in Note 1.

1.	Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

ReliaStar Life Insurance Company (the “Company”) is domiciled in Minnesota and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Voya Holdings Inc. (“Voya Holdings”), a Connecticut holding and management company. Voya Holdings is a wholly owned subsidiary of Voya Financial, Inc., a publicly traded corporation with its common stock listed on the New York Stock Exchange, under the symbol "VOYA."

Prior to May 2013, Voya Financial, Inc., together with its subsidiaries including the Company, was an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of ING Groep N.V. ("ING"), a global financial services holding company based in The Netherlands. In May 2013, Voya Financial, Inc. completed its initial public offering of common stock, including the issuance and sale of common stock by Voya Financial, Inc. and the sale of shares of common stock owned indirectly by ING. Between October 2013 and March 2015, ING completed the sale of its remaining shares of common stock of Voya Financial, Inc. in a series of registered public offerings.

On December 18, 2019, the Company's ultimate parent, Voya Financial, Inc., entered into a Master Transaction Agreement (the "Resolution MTA") with Resolution Life U.S. Holdings Inc. ("Resolution Life US"), pursuant to which Voya Financial, Inc., agreed to sell its subsidiaries Security Life of Denver Insurance Company ("SLD") and Security Life of Denver International Limited ("SLDI") as well as several subsidiaries of SLD and one subsidiary of SLDI. As part of the transaction, Voya Financial, Inc., has also agreed to reinsure to SLD certain in-scope individual life insurance and annuities business assets of several of the Company’s affiliates, including a 100% quota share of the Company’s in-scope individual life and annuity business. The Company will remain a subsidiary of Voya Financial, Inc. This transaction will result in Voya Financial, Inc.’s disposition of substantially all of its life insurance and legacy nonretirement annuity business and related assets, and is expected to close by September 30, 2020 (collectively, the "Individual Life Transaction").

On June 1, 2018, the Company's ultimate parent, Voya Financial, Inc., consummated a series of transactions (collectively, the "Transaction") pursuant to a Master Transaction Agreement dated December 20, 2017 (the “MTA”) with VA Capital Company LLC (“VA Capital”) and Athene Holding Ltd ("Athene"). As part of the Transaction, VA Capital’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Venerable Holdings, Inc. ("Venerable"), acquired certain assets of Voya Financial, Inc., including all of the shares of the capital stock of Voya Insurance and Annuity Company (“VIAC”), an affiliate of the Company, and all of the membership interests of Directed Services LLC ("DSL"), another affiliate of the Company. As of June 1, 2018, VIAC and DSL are no longer affiliates of the Company.

Description of Business

The Company is principally engaged in the business of providing individual life insurance and annuities, employee benefit products and services, retirement plans, and life and health reinsurance. The Company is presently licensed in all states (approved for reinsurance only in New York), the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico.

On October 30, 2018, the Company’s ultimate parent, Voya Financial, Inc., announced that it will cease selling new business in its Individual Life segment, effective December 31, 2018, and will retain the existing in-force block of policies. The Company does not believe this event will have a material impact on its financial condition.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements of the Company requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes known, which could impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein.

Recently Adopted Accounting Principles and Actuarial Guidelines

Effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted SSAP No. 41R, Surplus Notes- Revised ("SSAP No. 41R"). The principal provisions of this statement include the following:


▪	Establishes that surplus notes rated NAIC 1 or NAIC 2 are to be carried at amortized cost


▪	Establishes that surplus notes rated NAIC 3 and below are to be carried at the lesser of amortized cost or fair value


▪	Adds guidance to clarify when surplus notes should be non-admitted, record an unrealized loss or have an other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”)

The effect on the Company’s 2017 financial statements of adopting SSAP No. 41R at January 1, 2017 was an increase to surplus of $1.7.

Correction of Errors

In 2017, the Company determined that it had overstated a reinsurance receivable in prior years by $27.2. To correct this error, the Company recognized a cumulative prior period adjustment decrease to surplus of $17.7, net of tax, in accordance with the provisions of SSAP No. 3, Accounting Changes and Corrections of Errors ("SSAP No. 3"). The tax effect of this adjustment was a decrease in taxes payable of $9.5.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Minnesota Department of Commerce, which practices differ from United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The more significant variances from U.S. GAAP are:

Investments: Investments in bonds and mandatorily redeemable preferred stocks are reported at amortized cost or fair value based on a designation assigned by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC").

The Company periodically reviews the value of its investments in bonds and mandatorily redeemable preferred stocks. If the fair value of any investment falls below its cost basis, the decline is analyzed to determine whether it is an other-than-temporary decline. To make this determination for each security, the following are some of the factors considered:


•	The length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been below cost.


•	The financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer of the security, including any specific events that may affect its operations or earnings potential.


•	The Company's intent to sell the security prior to its maturity at an amount below its carrying value.


•	The Company's intent and ability to hold the security long enough for it to recover its fair value.

Based on the analysis, the Company makes a judgment as to whether the decline in fair value is other–than-temporary. When an OTTI is recorded because there is intent to sell or the Company does not have the intent and ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to recover the amortized cost basis, the security is written down to fair value. The interest related OTTI is deferred through the interest maintenance reserve (“IMR”) and the non-interest related OTTI is included in the asset valuation reserve (“AVR”) in the period that the OTTI is considered to have occurred as prescribed by the NAIC. Losses resulting from OTTI charges, net of transfers to IMR, are recorded within net realized capital gains (losses) in the statements of operations.

The Company invests in structured securities, including residential mortgage backed securities/ collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMO"), asset backed securities, collateralized debt obligations, and commercial mortgage backed securities. Structured securities are reported at amortized cost or fair value based on a designation assigned by the NAIC. They are amortized using the interest method over the period which repayment of principal is expected to occur. For structured securities in unrealized loss positions, the Company determines whether it has the intent to sell or the intent and ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to recover the amortized cost. If the Company has the intent and ability to hold the security to recovery, the Company must compare the present value of the expected future cash flows for this security to its carrying value. If the present value of the expected future cash flows for the

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

security is lower than its carrying value, the security is written down to its present value of the expected future cash flows.

Net realized gains and losses on disposed investments are reported in the statements of operations, net of federal income tax and transfers to the IMR.

Under U.S. GAAP, fixed maturities are designated at purchase as held to maturity, trading or available-for-sale, except for those accounted for using the fair value option ("FVO"). Held to maturity investments are reported at amortized cost and the remaining fixed maturity investments are reported at fair value. For those designated as trading, changes in fair value are reported in the statements of operations. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value with changes in fair value reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholder’s equity. Using the FVO, securities are reported at fair value with changes in fair value reported in the statements of operations.

When an intent impairment is determined, the individual security is written down from amortized cost to fair value, and a corresponding charge is recorded in net realized capital gains (losses) in the statements of operations as an OTTI. If the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, but the Company has determined that there has been an other-than-temporary decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis, the OTTI is bifurcated into the amount representing the present value of the decrease in cash flows expected not to be collected (“credit impairment”) and the amount related to other factors (“noncredit impairment”). The credit impairment is recorded in net realized capital gains (losses) in the statements of operations. The noncredit impairment is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholder’s equity.

Asset Valuation Reserve: The AVR is intended to establish a reserve to offset potential credit related investment losses on most invested asset categories. AVR is determined by an NAIC prescribed formula and is reported as a liability rather than as a valuation allowance or an appropriation of surplus. The change in AVR is reported directly to unassigned surplus.

Interest Maintenance Reserve: Under a formula prescribed by the NAIC, the Company defers the portion of realized gains and losses on sales of fixed income investments, principally bonds and mortgage loans, attributable to changes in the general level of interest rates and amortizes those deferrals over the remaining period to maturity based on groupings of individual securities sold in five year bands. The Company reports the net deferral of IMR as a liability on the accompanying balance sheets. When the net deferral of IMR is negative, the amount is reported as a component of other assets and nonadmitted.

Cash and Short-term Investments: Cash and short term investments represent cash balances, demand deposits, and short term fixed maturity investments with initial maturities of one year or less at the date of acquisition.

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

Under U.S. GAAP, the corresponding caption of cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, amounts due from banks and other highly liquid investments, such as money market instruments and debt instruments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. Short-term investments include investments with remaining maturities of one year or less, but greater than three months, at the time of purchase.

Derivatives: The Company follows the hedge accounting guidance in SSAP No. 86, Derivatives (“SSAP No. 86”) for derivative transactions. Under SSAP No. 86, derivatives that are deemed effective hedges are accounted for entirely in a manner which is consistent with the underlying hedged item. Derivatives used in hedging transactions that do not meet the requirements of SSAP No. 86 as an effective hedge are carried at fair value with the change in value recorded in surplus as unrealized gains or losses. Embedded derivatives are not accounted for separately from the host contract.

Under U.S. GAAP, the effective and ineffective portions of a cash flow hedge are accounted for separately. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same periods during which the hedged transaction impacts earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transaction. The ineffective portion of the derivative's change in value, if any, along with any of the derivative's change in value that is excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, are recorded in other net realized capital gains (losses). For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument, as well as the hedged item, to the extent of the risk being hedged, are recognized in other net realized capital gains (losses). An embedded derivative within a contract that is not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risk of the host contract is reported with the host contract on the balance sheets at fair value, and the change in fair value is recorded in income.

Mortgage Loans: Mortgage loans are reported at amortized cost, less write downs for impairments. If the value of any mortgage loan is determined to be impaired (i.e., when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement), the carrying value of the mortgage loan is reduced to the lesser of either the present value of expected cash flows from the loan, discounted at the loan’s original purchase yield or fair value of the collateral. For those mortgages that are determined to require foreclosure, the carrying value is reduced to the fair value of the underlying collateral, net of estimated costs to obtain and sell at the point of foreclosure. The carrying value of the impaired loans is reduced by establishing a permanent write-down recorded in net realized capital gains (losses).

Under U.S. GAAP, the Company records an allowance for probable losses incurred on non-impaired loans on an aggregate basis, rather than specifically identified probable losses incurred by individual loan.

Deferred Income Taxes: Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax recoveries or obligations associated with the accumulation of temporary differences between the tax and financial statement bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are provided for and admitted to an amount determined under a standard formula in accordance with SSAP No. 101, Income Taxes ("SSAP No. 101"). A valuation allowance is required if based on the available evidence; it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that some portion or all of the gross deferred tax assets will not be realized. This assessment is determined on a separate reporting entity basis.

After reduction for any valuation allowance, the Company follows the admissibility formula prescribed under SSAP No. 101. These provisions limit the amount of gross deferred tax assets that can be admitted to surplus to those for which ultimate recoverability can be demonstrated. This limitation is based on availability of taxes paid in prior years that could be recovered through carrybacks, the expected timing of reversals for accumulated temporary differences over the next three years to offset future taxes, surplus limits, and the amount of gross deferred tax liabilities available for offset. Any deferred tax assets not covered under the formula are nonadmitted.

SSAP No. 101 requires all changes in deferred tax balances to be included as surplus adjustments; under U.S. GAAP, however, most changes in deferred tax balances are recorded in the income statement (with the exception of certain items that are recorded through Other Comprehensive Income or directly to the equity section of the balance sheet) as a component of the total income tax provision.

U.S. GAAP also requires that deferred taxes be included for all jurisdictions that determine taxes based on income. Thus deferred state income taxes must be recorded under U.S. GAAP. SSAP No. 101, however, specifically prohibits establishing deferred state income tax assets and liabilities.

Investments in Real Estate: Investments in real estate are reported net of related obligations rather than on a gross basis. Real estate owned and occupied by the Company is included in investments, and investment income and operating expenses include rent for the Company’s occupancy of those properties. Changes between depreciated cost and admitted asset investment amounts are credited or charged directly to unassigned surplus. Any real estate not meeting the appraisal requirements established in SSAP No. 40R, Real Estate Investments ("SSAP No. 40R"), shall be nonadmitted until the required appraisals are obtained.

Under U.S. GAAP, property is carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation, and is reported gross of related obligations in other assets on the balance sheets. Any depreciation and rent expense are charged to operating expenses on the statements of operations. Rental income is reported as Net Investment income.

Policy Acquisition Costs: The costs of acquiring and renewing business are expensed when incurred.

Under U.S. GAAP, incremental, direct costs of contract acquisition and certain costs related directly to successful acquisition activities are capitalized. Indirect or unsuccessful acquisition costs, maintenance, product development and overhead expenses are charged to expense as incurred. In addition, the outstanding value of in force business acquired is capitalized. For certain traditional life insurance, to the extent recoverable from future gross profits, acquisition costs are amortized over the premium payment period in proportion to the present value of expected gross premium. For universal life insurance and investment products, to the extent recoverable from future gross profits, acquisition costs are amortized over the estimated lives of the contracts in relation to the emergence of estimated gross profits.

Premiums: Life premiums are recognized as revenue when due. Premiums for annuity policies with mortality and morbidity risk, except for guaranteed interest and group annuity contracts, are also recognized as revenue when due. Premiums received for annuity policies without mortality or morbidity risk and for guaranteed interest and group annuity contracts are recorded using deposit accounting.

Under U.S. GAAP, premiums related to traditional life insurance contracts and payout contracts with life contingencies are recognized as revenue when due. Amounts received for investment-type, universal life-type, fixed annuities, payout contracts without life contingencies and fixed-indexed annuity contracts are reported as deposits to contract owner account balances. Revenues from these contracts consist primarily of fees assessed against the contract owner account balance for mortality and policy administration charges.

Benefits Paid or Provided: Benefits incurred for universal life and annuity policies represent the total of death benefits paid and the change in policy reserves.

Under U.S. GAAP, benefits and expenses for investment-type, universal life-type, fixed annuities, payout contracts without life contingencies and fixed-indexed annuity contracts include claims in excess of related account balances, expenses of contract administration and interest credited to contract owner account balances.

Benefit and Contract Reserves: Life policy and contract reserves under statutory accounting practices are calculated based upon both the net level premium method and Commissioners’ Reserve Valuation Method (“CRVM”) using statutory rates for mortality and interest. Annuity policy and contract reserves under statutory accounting practices are calculated based upon the Commissioners’ Annuity Reserve Valuation Method (“CARVM”) using statutory rates for mortality and interest.

Under U. S. GAAP policy reserves for traditional products are based upon the net level premium method utilizing best estimates of mortality, interest, and withdrawals prevailing when the

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

policies were sold. For interest sensitive products, the U.S. GAAP policy reserve is equal to the policy fund balance plus an unearned revenue reserve which reflects the unamortized balance of early year policy loads over renewal year policy loads.

Reinsurance: Commissions allowed by reinsurers on business ceded are reported as income when received. Losses generated in certain reinsurance transactions are recognized immediately in income, with gains reported as a separate component of surplus and amortized over the remaining life of the business. For business ceded to unauthorized reinsurers, statutory accounting practices require that reinsurance credits permitted by the treaty be recorded as an offsetting liability and charged against unassigned surplus.

Under U.S. GAAP, ceded future policy benefits and contract owner liabilities are reported gross on the balance sheets. Only those reinsurance recoverable balances deemed probable of recovery are reflected as assets on the balance sheets and are stated net of allowances for uncollectible reinsurance, which are charged to earnings. Gains and losses on reinsurance, including commission and expense allowances, are deferred and amortized over the remaining life of the business.

Nonadmitted Assets: Certain assets designated as “nonadmitted,” principally disallowed interest maintenance reserves, non-operating system software, past due agents’ balances, furniture and equipment, intangible assets, and other assets not specifically identified as an admitted asset within the NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual, are excluded from the accompanying balance sheets and are charged directly to unassigned surplus. In addition, non-admitted assets include deferred tax assets that are not admissible under SSAP No. 101. See Deferred Income Taxes above.

Subsidiaries: The accounts and operations of the Company’s subsidiaries are not consolidated. Certain affiliated investments for which audited U.S. GAAP statements are not available, or expected to be available, are nonadmitted.

Under U.S. GAAP, the accounts and operations of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries are consolidated. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated.

Policyholder Dividends: Policyholder dividends are recognized when declared.

Participation Fund Account: On January 3, 1989, the Minnesota Department of Commerce approved a Plan of Conversion and Reorganization ("the Plan"), which provided, among other things, for the conversion of the Company from a combined stock and mutual life insurance company to a stock life insurance company.

The Plan provided for the establishment of a Participation Fund Account ("PFA") for the benefit of certain participating individual life insurance policies and annuities issued by the Company prior to the effective date of the Plan. Under the terms of the PFA, the insurance liabilities and

assets (approximately $45.7 and $63.8 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively) with respect to such policies are included in the Company's financial statements, but are segregated in the accounting records of the Company to assure the continuation of policyholder dividend practices.

Reconciliation to U.S. GAAP: The effects of the preceding variances from U.S. GAAP on the accompanying statutory basis financial statements have not been determined, but are presumed to be material.

Other significant accounting practices are as follows:

Investments: Investments are stated at values prescribed by the NAIC, as follows:

Bonds not backed by other loans are stated at either amortized cost or the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Amortized cost is determined using the constant yield or yield to worst method.

The Company does not have any SVO-Identified investments as defined in SSAP No. 26R, Bonds-Revised.

Loan-backed securities are stated at either amortized cost or the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Amortized cost is determined using the effective interest method and includes anticipated prepayments. The prospective adjustment method is used to determine the amortized cost for the majority of loan–backed and structured securities as well as securities that have experienced an OTTI. For certain securities, including Agency-backed securities, the retrospective adjustment method is used to determine amortized cost.

Redeemable preferred stocks rated as high quality or better are reported at cost or amortized cost. All other redeemable preferred stocks are reported at the lower of cost, amortized cost, or fair value and nonredeemable preferred stocks are reported at fair value or the lower of cost or fair value.

Common stocks are reported at fair value and the related unrealized capital gains/losses are reported in unassigned surplus along with adjustment for federal income taxes. Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") common stock is priced at par value.

The Company engages in securities lending whereby certain securities from its portfolio are loaned to other institutions, through a lending agent, for short periods of time. The Company has the right to approve any institution with whom the lending agent transacts on its behalf. Initial cash and/or non-cash collateral is required at a rate of 102% of the market value of the loaned securities. The market value of the loaned securities is monitored on a daily basis with additional collateral obtained or refunded as the market value of the loaned securities fluctuates. The lending agent indemnifies the Company against losses resulting from the failure of a counterparty’s ability to return securities pledged where collateral is insufficient to cover the

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

loss. Under a recent amendment to the securities lending program, the Company also accepts non-cash collateral in the form of securities. The securities retained as collateral may not be sold or re-pledged, except in the event of default, and are not reflected in the Company’s Balance Sheets. This collateral generally consists of U.S. Treasury, U.S. Government agency securities and Mortgage-Backed Securities pools.

Short term investments are reported at amortized cost which approximates fair value.

Partnership interests, which are included in other invested assets, are reported at the underlying audited U.S. GAAP equity of the investee. Changes in surplus from distributions are reported in investment income.

Residual collateralized mortgage obligations, which are included in other invested assets on the balance sheet, are reported at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Surplus notes acquired, which are included in other invested assets on the balance sheets, are reported at amortized cost using the effective interest method. See Note 3 for additional information related to an affiliate surplus note.

Realized capital gains and losses are generally determined using the first in first out method.

The Company’s use of derivatives is primarily for economic hedging purposes to reduce the Company’s exposure to cash flow variability of assets and liabilities, interest rate risk, credit risk, and market risk. For those derivatives in effective hedging relationships, the Company values all derivative instruments on a consistent basis with the hedged item. Upon termination, gains and losses on instruments are included in the carrying values of the underlying hedged items and are amortized over the remaining lives of the hedged items as adjustments to investment income or benefits from the hedged items. Any unamortized gains or losses are recognized when the underlying hedged items are sold. The unrealized gains and losses from derivatives not designated as accounting hedges are reported at fair value through surplus. Upon termination, interest related gains and losses on asset hedges are included in IMR and are amortized over the remaining lives of the derivatives; other gains and losses are added to the AVR.

The Company enters into the following derivatives:

Credit Contracts:

Credit default swaps: Credit default swaps are used to reduce credit loss exposure with respect to certain assets that the Company owns, or to assume credit exposure on certain assets that the Company does not own. Payments are made to or received from the counterparty at specified intervals. In the event of a default on the underlying credit exposure, the Company will either

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

receive a payment (purchased credit protection) or will be required to make a payment (sold credit protection) equal to the par minus recovery value of the swap contract. The Company utilizes these contracts in replication and non qualifying hedging relationships.

Equity Contracts:

Options: The Company may use equity options to hedge against an increase in various equity indices, and interest rate options to hedge against an increase in the interest rate benchmarking crediting strategies within Fixed Indexed Annuities ("FIA") contracts. Such increases may result in increased payments to the holders of the FIA contracts. The Company pays an upfront premium to purchase these options. The Company utilizes these options in non-qualifying hedging relationships.

Foreign Exchange Contracts:

Currency forwards: The Company uses currency forward contracts to hedge currency exposure related to its invested assets. The Company utilizes these contracts in non-qualifying hedging relationships.

Foreign exchange swaps: The Company uses foreign exchange or currency swaps to reduce the risk of change in the value, yield or cash flows associated with certain foreign denominated invested assets. Foreign exchange swaps represent contracts that require the exchange of foreign currency cash flows against U.S. dollar cash flows at regular periods, typically quarterly or semi-annually. The Company utilizes these contracts in qualifying hedging relationships.

Interest Rate Contracts:

Futures: The Company uses interest rate futures contracts to hedge interest rate risks associated with the CMO-B portfolio. Changes in the general level of interest rates can result in the potential for adverse changes in the portfolio. The Company enters into exchange traded futures with regulated futures commissions that are members of the exchange. The Company also posts initial and variation margin with the exchange on a daily basis. The Company utilizes exchange-traded futures in non-qualifying hedging relationships.

Interest rate swaps: Interest rate swaps are used by the Company primarily to reduce market risks from changes in interest rates and to alter interest rate exposure arising from mismatches between assets and/or liabilities. Interest rate swaps are also used to hedge the interest rate risk associated with the value of assets it owns or in an anticipation of acquiring them. Using interest rate swaps, the Company agrees with another party to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed rate and floating rate interest payments, calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional principal amount. These transactions are entered into pursuant to master agreements that provide for a single net payment to be made to/from the counterparty at each

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

due date. The Company utilizes these contracts in qualifying hedging relationships as well as non-qualifying hedging relationships.

Swaptions: A swaption is an option to enter into a swap with a forward starting effective date. The Company uses swaptions to hedge against an increase in the interest rate benchmarked crediting strategies within FIA contracts. Such increases may result in increased payments to contract holders of FIA contracts and the interest rate swaptions offset this increased exposure. The Company pays a premium when it purchases the swaption. The Company utilizes these contracts in non-qualifying hedging relationships.

Forwards: The Company uses forward contracts to hedge certain invested assets against movement in interest rates, particularly mortgage rates. The Company uses To Be Announced mortgage-backed securities as an economic hedge against rate movements. The Company utilizes forward contracts in non- qualifying hedging relationships.

Investments in Subsidiary: SSAP No. 97, Investments in Subsidiary, Controlled and Affiliated Entities (“SSAP No. 97”), applies to the Company’s subsidiaries, and controlled and affiliated entities (“SCA”). The Company’s insurance subsidiaries are reported at their underlying statutory basis net assets, and the Company’s non-insurance subsidiaries are reported at the underlying audited U.S. GAAP equity amount adjusted to a limited statutory accounting basis as promulgated by the NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual. Dividends from subsidiaries are included in net investment income. The remaining net change in the subsidiaries’ equity is included in the change in net unrealized capital gains or losses. SCA entities for which audited statements are not available or expected to be available are nonadmitted. Management regularly reviews its SCAs to determine if an OTTI has occurred. During this review, management makes a judgment as to whether it is probable that the reporting entity will be unable to recover the carrying amount of the investment or there is evidence indicating inability of the investee to sustain earnings.

Contract Loans: Contract loans are reported at unpaid principal balances but not in excess of the cash surrender value.

Aggregate Reserve for Life Policies and Contracts: Life, annuity, and accident and health reserves are developed by actuarial methods and are determined based on published tables using statutorily specified interest rates and valuation methods that will provide, in the aggregate, reserves that are greater than or equal to the minimum or guaranteed policy cash value or the amounts required by law. Interest rates range from 2.00% to 13.25% for 2019.

The Company waives the deduction of deferred fractional premiums upon the death of the insured. It is the Company’s practice to return a pro rata portion of any premium paid beyond the policy month of death, although it is not contractually required to do so for certain issues. A reserve has been established of $102.1 and $105.9 for any surrender value promised in excess of the reserves as otherwise legally computed reserves at December 31, 2019 and 2018.

The methods used in valuation of substandard policies are as follows:

For life, endowment and term policies issued substandard, the standard reserve during the premium paying period is increased by 50% of the gross annual extra premium. Standard reserves are held on Paid-Up Limited Pay contracts.

For reinsurance accepted with table rating, the reserve established is a multiple of the standard reserve corresponding to the table rating.

For reinsurance with flat extra premiums, the standard reserve is increased by 50% of the flat extra.

The amount of insurance in force for which the gross premiums are less than the net premiums, according to the standard of valuation required by the Minnesota Department of Commerce, is $5.6 billion and $6.0 billion at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The amount of premium deficiency reserves for policies on which gross premiums are less than the net premiums is $402.7 and $408.4 at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The Company anticipates investment income as a factor in the premium deficiency calculation, in accordance with SSAP No. 54R, Individual and Group Accident and Health Contracts.

The tabular interest has been determined from the basic data for the calculation of policy reserves for all direct ordinary life insurance and for the portion of group life insurance classified as group under Section 79. The method of determination of tabular interest of funds not involving life contingencies is as follows: one hundredth of the product of such valuation rate of interest times the mean of the amount of funds subject to such valuation rate of interest held at the beginning and end of the year of valuation.

Reinsurance: Reinsurance premiums, commissions, expense reimbursements, and reserves related to reinsured business are accounted for on a basis consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. Reserves are based on the terms of the reinsurance contracts and are consistent with the risks assumed. Premiums and benefits ceded to other companies have been reported as a reduction of premium revenue and benefits expense. Amounts applicable to reinsurance ceded for reserves and unpaid claim liabilities have been reported as reductions of these items, and expense allowances received in connection with reinsurance ceded have been reflected in operations. The Company establishes a receivable for amounts due from reinsurers for claims paid and other amounts recoverable under the terms of the reinsurance contracts.

Electronic Data Processing Equipment: Electronic data processing equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation for major classes of such assets is calculated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset, not to exceed three years.

Participating Insurance: Participating business approximates less than 1% of the Company's life insurance in force and less than 2% of premium income. The amount of dividends to be paid to participating policyholders is determined annually by the Board of Directors. Amounts allocable to participating policyholders are based on published dividend projections or expected dividend scales.

Benefit Plans: The Company provides noncontributory retirement plans for substantially all employees and certain agents. Pension costs are charged to operations as contributions are made to the plans. The Company also provides a contributory retirement plan for substantially all employees.

Nonadmitted Assets: Nonadmitted assets are summarized as follows:



	December 31
	2019		2018
	(In Thousands)
Net deferred tax asset	$	—	$	28,687
Deferred and uncollected premium	8,838		7,009
Health care and other amounts receivable	934		1,399
Other - suspense and clearing	4,812		5,209
Total nonadmitted assets	$	14,584	$	42,304

Changes in nonadmitted assets are generally reported directly in unassigned surplus as an increase or decrease in nonadmitted assets.

Claims and Claims Adjustment Expenses: Claims and claims adjustment expenses represent the estimated ultimate net cost of all reported and unreported claims incurred through December 31, 2019. The Company does not discount claims and claims adjustment expense reserves. Such estimates are based on actuarial projections applied to historical claim payment data. Such liabilities are considered to be reasonable and adequate to discharge the Company’s obligations for claims incurred but unpaid as of December 31, 2019.

Guaranteed Benefits: For variable annuity guarantees, Actuarial Guideline 43 – Variable Annuity Commissioners Annuity Reserve Valuation Method ("AG43") is followed. This guideline interprets how to apply the NAIC CARVM to Variable Annuities. The greater of the result under a single deterministic “Standard Scenario” and the average of the most severe 30% of randomly generated stochastic scenarios is held. Both reinsurance and hedging are also reflected. Taxes are not incorporated. All assumptions for the Standard Scenario are prescribed. For the stochastic scenarios, equity market returns must meet a calibration test. All other assumptions are set by the actuary using prudent best-estimates.

Separate Accounts: Most separate account assets and liabilities held by the Company represent funds held for the benefit of the Company’s variable life and annuity policy and contract holders

who bear all of the investment risk associated with the policies. Such policies are of a non-guaranteed nature. All net investment experience, positive or negative, is attributed to the policy and contract holders’ account values. The assets and liabilities of these accounts are carried at fair value and are legally segregated and are not subject to claims that arise out of any other business of the Company. There are no product classification differences under U.S. GAAP.


2.	Permitted Statutory Basis Accounting Practices

The financial statements of the Company are presented on the basis of accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Minnesota Department of Commerce. The Minnesota Department of Commerce recognizes only statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the State of Minnesota for determining and reporting the financial condition and results of operations of an insurance company and for determining its solvency under the Minnesota Insurance Laws. The NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual has been adopted as a component of prescribed practices by the State of Minnesota. The Minnesota Commissioner of Commerce has the right to permit other specific practices that deviate from prescribed practices.

The Company is required to identify those significant accounting practices that are permitted, and obtain written approval of the practices from the Minnesota Department of Commerce.

On May 8, 2013, the Company, with the permission of the Minnesota Department of Commerce, reallocated the gross paid-in and contributed surplus and the unassigned funds components of surplus, computed as of December 31, 2012, similar to the restatement of surplus that occurs pursuant to the prescribed accounting guidance for a quasi-reorganization under SSAP No. 72, Surplus and Quasi-Reorganizations (“SSAP No. 72”). The reallocation resulted in a decrease to gross paid-in and contributed surplus and an increase in unassigned surplus of $618.7. This permitted practice had no impact on net income, total capital and surplus or risk-based capital.

For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, the Company had no such permitted accounting practices.

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

While the Company actively invests in and continues to manage a portfolio of such exposures in the form of securitized investments, the Company does not originate or purchase subprime or Alt-A whole-loan mortgages. Subprime lending is the origination of loans to customers with weaker credit profiles. The Company defines Alt-A mortgages to include the following: residential mortgage loans to customers who have strong credit profiles but lack some element(s), such as documentation to substantiate income; residential mortgage loans to borrowers that would otherwise be classified as prime but for which loan structure provides repayment options to the borrower that increase the risk of default; and any securities backed by residential mortgage collateral not clearly identifiable as prime or subprime.

Pre-2008 vintage subprime and Alt-A mortgage collateral continues to reflect a housing market entrenched in recovery. While collateral losses continue to be realized, the pace and magnitude at which losses are being realized are steadily decreasing. Serious delinquencies and other measures of performance, like prepayments and loan defaults, have also displayed sustained periods of improvement. Reflecting these fundamental improvements, related bond prices and sector liquidity have increased substantially since the credit crisis. More broadly, home prices have moved steadily higher, further supporting bond payment performance. Year-over-year home price measures, while at a lower magnitude than experienced in the years following the trough in home prices, have stabilized at sustainable levels, when measured on a nationwide basis. While certain geographies began to show signs of slowing in the fourth quarter, this backdrop overall remains supportive of continued improvement in overall borrower payment behavior. In managing our risk exposure to subprime and Alt-A mortgages, we take into account collateral performance and structural characteristics associated with our various positions.

Mortgage Loans and Real Estate

All mortgage loans are evaluated by seasoned underwriters, including an appraisal of loan-specific credit quality, property characteristics, and market trends, and assigned a quality rating using the Company’s internally developed quality rating system. The Company's mortgage loans on real estate are all commercial mortgage loans, held for investment.

The maximum and minimum lending rates for long-term mortgage loans acquired or made during 2019 were 6.3% and 3.1%.

There were no taxes, assessments or any amounts advanced and not included in the mortgage loan total as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Property insurance is required on all collateral securing commercial real estate mortgage loans. Generally the coverage is “all risk” at a level equal to the replacement cost of the improvements. Additional coverage may be required to cover flood, windstorm and other risks associated with collateral type, use and location.

During 2019, the maximum percentage of any loan to the value of collateral at the time of the loan, exclusive of insured or guaranteed or purchase money mortgages was 76.0% on commercial properties.

The following table shows an age analysis of mortgage loans by type and mortgage loans in which the insurer is a participant or co-lender in a mortgage loan agreement as of December 31, 2019 and 2018:

Troubled Debt Restructuring

The Company has a high quality, well performing, portfolio of commercial mortgage loans and private placement debts. Under certain circumstances, modifications to these contracts are granted. Each modification is evaluated as to whether troubled debt restructuring has occurred. A modification is a troubled debt restructure when the borrower is in financial difficulty and the creditor makes concessions. Generally, the types of concessions may include: reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt as originally stated, reduction of the contractual interest rate, extension of the maturity date at an interest rate lower than current market interest rates and/or reduction of accrued interest. The Company considers the amount, timing and extent of the concession granted in determining any impairment or changes in the specific valuation allowance recorded in connection with the troubled debt restructuring. A valuation allowance may have been recorded prior to the quarter when the loan is modified in a troubled debt restructuring. Accordingly, the carrying value (net of the specific valuation allowance) before and after modification through a troubled debt restructuring may not change significantly, or may increase if the expected recovery is higher than the pre-modification recovery assessment.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company held 1 private placement troubled restructuring loan with a carrying value of $17.3 . As of December 31, 2018 the Company did not have any commercial mortgage loans or private placements modified in a troubled debt restructuring with a subsequent payment default.

4.	Derivative Financial Instruments Held for Purposes Other than Trading

The Company’s use of derivatives is primarily for economic hedging purposes to reduce the Company’s exposure to cash flow variability of assets and liabilities, interest rate risk, credit risk, and market risk. The Company enters into the following type of derivatives: Credit Contracts, Equity Contracts, Foreign Exchange Contracts and Interest Rate Contracts. The Company's use and hedging strategy of derivatives is detailed in Note 1.

Upfront fees paid or received on derivative contracts are included on the balance sheets as an asset or liability and are being amortized to investment income over the remaining terms of the contracts.

Periodic payments from such contracts are included in investment income on the statements of operations. Accrued amounts payable to or receivable from counterparties are included in other liabilities or accrued investment income on the balance sheet. Gains or losses realized as a result of early terminations are recognized in income in the statement of operations or deferred into IMR and amortized into investment income.

The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties on certain derivative contracts; however, the Company does not anticipate nonperformance by any of these counterparties. The amount of such exposure is generally the unrealized gains in such contracts. The Company manages the potential credit exposure from interest rate contracts through careful evaluation of the counterparties’ credit standing, collateral agreements, and master netting agreements.

Under the terms of the Company’s Over-The-Counter ("OTC") Derivative International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. ("ISDA") agreements, the Company may receive from, or deliver to, counterparties, collateral to assure that all terms of the ISDA agreements will be met with regard to the Credit Support Annex ("CSA"). The terms of the CSA call for the Company to pay interest on any cash received equal to the Federal Funds rate. Collateral held is used in accordance with the CSA to satisfy any obligations. Investment grade bonds owned by the Company are the source of noncash collateral posted, which is reported on the balance sheet.

The carrying value of these holdings amounted to 0.2% and 0.3% of the Company’s investment in bonds and 0.1% and 0.3% of the Company’s total admitted assets at December 31, 2019 and 2018.

The Company's commercial mortgage loan portfolio is diversified by geographic region and property type to manage concentration risk. The Company manages risk when originating commercial mortgage loans by generally lending only up to 75% of the estimated fair value of the underlying real estate. Subsequently, the Company continuously evaluates all mortgage loans based on relevant current information including a review of loan-specific credit, property characteristics and market trends. Loan performance is continuously monitored on a loan-specific basis throughout the year. This review includes submitted appraisals, operating statements, rent revenues and annual inspection reports, among other items. This review evaluates whether the properties are performing at a consistent and acceptable level to secure the debt. The components to evaluate debt service coverage are received and reviewed at least annually to determine the level of risk.

The Company rates all commercial mortgages to quantify the level of risk. The Company places those loans with higher risk on a watch list and closely monitors these loans for collateral deficiency or other credit events that may lead to a potential loss of principal and/or interest.

Loan-to-value ("LTV") and debt service coverage ("DSC") ratios are measures commonly used to assess the risk and quality of commercial mortgage loans. The LTV ratio, calculated at time of origination, is expressed as a percentage of the amount of the loan relative to the value of the underlying property. An LTV ratio in excess of 100% indicates the unpaid loan amount exceeds the value of the underlying collateral. The DSC ratio, based upon the most recently received financial statements, is expressed as a percentage of the amount of a property's net income (loss) to its debt service payments. A DSC ratio of less than 1.0 indicates that property's operations do not generate sufficient income to cover debt payments. These ratios are utilized as part of the review process described above. LTV and DSC ratios as of the dates indicated are presented below:

*Commercial mortgage loans secured by land or construction loans

If the value of any mortgage loan is determined to be impaired (i.e., when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect on all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement), the carrying value of the mortgage loan is reduced to either the present value of expected cash flows from the loan, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or fair value of the collateral.

7.	Employee Benefit Plans

Defined Benefit Plan: Voya Services Company (“VSC”) sponsors the Voya Retirement Plan (the “Qualified Plan”). The Qualified Plan is a tax qualified defined benefit plan, the benefits of which are guaranteed (within certain specified legal limits) by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”). The Qualified Plan operates under a cash balance plan where participants earn a credit equal to 4% of eligible pay. The accrued vested balance is portable. The costs allocated to the Company for its employees’ participation in the Qualified Plan were $5.3, $5.1 and $5.0 for 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. VSC is responsible for all Qualified Plan liabilities.

Defined Contribution Plans: VSC sponsors the Voya 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Savings Plan”). Substantially all employees of VSC and its subsidiaries and affiliates (excluding certain employees) are eligible to participate, including the Company’s employees other than Company agents. The Savings Plan is a tax qualified defined contribution plan. Savings Plan benefits are not guaranteed by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”). The Savings Plan allows eligible participants to defer into the Savings Plan a specified percentage of eligible compensation on a pretax basis. VSC matches such pretax contributions, up to a maximum of 6% of eligible compensation. All matching contributions are subject to a 4 year graded vesting schedule (although certain specified participants are subject to a 5 year graded vesting schedule). All contributions made to the Savings Plan are subject to certain limits imposed by applicable law. Amounts allocated to the Company for the Savings Plan were $6.4, $5.6 and $6.3 for 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The Omnibus Plan: Certain employees of the Company participate in the Voya Financial, Inc. 2013, 2014 and 2019 Omnibus Employee Incentive Plans (the "Omnibus Plans"). The Omnibus Plans each permit the granting of a wide range of equity-based awards, including restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance share units ("PSUs"), and stock options.The costs allocated to the Company under these holding company arrangements for employee participation were $14.5, $14.5 and $16.0 for 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The Company also offers deferred compensation plans for eligible employees and certain other individuals who meet the eligibility criteria. The Company’s deferred compensation commitment for employees is recorded on the balance sheet in other liabilities and totaled $29.6 and $26.3 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

As of August 1, 2009, Voya's Postretirement Welfare Plans are no longer eligible for the Medicare Retiree Drug Subsidy (“RDS”) that was being shared with retirees and beneficiaries.

Other Benefit Plans: In addition to providing retirement plan benefits, the Company, in conjunction with VSC, provides certain supplemental retirement benefits to eligible employees and health care and life insurance benefits to retired employees and other eligible dependents. The supplemental retirement plan includes a nonqualified defined benefit pension plan and a

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

nonqualified defined contribution plan, which means all benefits are payable from the general assets of the Company. The postretirement health care plan is contributory with retiree contribution levels adjusted annually. The life insurance plan provides a flat amount of noncontributory coverage and optional contributory coverage. Prior to April 1, 2017, coverage for Medicare eligible retirees was provided through a fully insured Medicare Advantage plan. Effective April 1, 2017, the fully insured Medicare Advantage Plan was replaced with access to individual coverage through a private exchange. The Company's premium subsidy ended and was replaced with a monthly health reimbursement arrangement ("HRA") contribution.

A summary of assets, obligations and assumptions of the non-qualified defined benefit and other postretirement benefit plans are as follows:

Valuation allowances are provided when it is considered more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no valuation allowances.

The provision for federal income tax expense and change in deferred taxes differs from the amount which would be obtained by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income (including capital items) before income taxes.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Reform"). Tax Reform made broad changes to U.S. federal tax law, including, but not limited to (1) reducing the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%; (2) changing the computations of the dividends received deduction, tax reserves, and deferred acquisition costs; (3) eliminating the net operating loss ("NOL") carryback and limiting the NOL carryforward deduction to 80% of taxable income for losses arising in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017; and (4) changing how alternative minimum tax ("AMT") credits can be realized. Tax Reform eliminated the corporate AMT and allows the

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

credit carryforward to be refunded over the next 4 years. Any refundable corporate AMT credit is not subject to the sequestration requirements of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended.

The NAIC SAP Working Group adopted Interpretation ("INT") 18-01, Updated Tax Estimates under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The guidance addresses situations where an insurance company does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting under SSAP No. 101 for certain income tax effects of Tax Reform for the reporting period of enactment. The guidance allowed the Company to provide a provisional estimate of the impacts of Tax Reform as of December 31, 2017 and requires all accounting impacts to be completed within one year of the enactment date. Changes in the provisional estimate were recognized as a change in accounting estimate under SSAP No. 3, Accounting Changes and Corrections of Errors ("SSAP No. 3"). INT 18-01 also requires the remeasurement of DTAs and DTLs to be allocated to three components of surplus: change in net unrealized capital gain/loss, change in net deferred income tax and change in nonadmitted assets.

In reliance on INT 18-01, the Company provisionally remeasured its deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the 21% tax rate at which they are expected to reverse in the future, resulting in a one-time reduction in its net adjusted gross deferred tax assets of $94.5 as of December 31, 2017. The accounting for the income tax effects of the Act was completed by the end of the December 22, 2018 measurement period and for the year ended December 31, 2018.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company's tax credits and net operating loss carryforward originated and expires as follows:

11.	Reinsurance

The Company is involved in both ceded and assumed reinsurance with other companies for the purpose of diversifying risk and limiting exposure on larger risks. To the extent that the assuming companies become unable to meet their obligations under these treaties, the Company remains contingently liable to its policyholders for the portion reinsured. To minimize its exposure to significant losses from the reinsurer insolvencies, the Company evaluates the financial condition of the reinsurer and monitors concentrations of credit risk.

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company recaptured a block of 2013 Individual Term Life business previously ceded to FNL Insurance Company, Ltd. Concurrent with the recapture, the Company ceded the business to SLDI, an affiliate. The approximate effects of the transaction on the Company’s 2019 financial statements was a decrease in net income of $129.4 and an increase in surplus of $10.8; the result of $140.2 of a deferred gain.

Effective October 1, 2019, the Company ceded certain life business to New Re, a Swiss reinsurer being part of the Munich Re Group and a certified reinsurer in the state of Minnesota. The Company ceded $248.5 in premiums to New Re; the approximate effects of the transaction on the Company’s 2019 financial statements was an increase in pre-tax income of $29.3 and an increase in surplus of $127.4; the result of a deferred gain.

In connection with the closing of the Transaction, the Company reinsured certain of its fixed annuity business to two wholly owned subsidiaries of Athene. The business being reinsured includes substantially all in-force individual fixed and fixed index deferred and fixed payout annuities of the Company. As a result of the Transaction, the Company no longer issues fixed annuity or fixed indexed annuity contracts. The impact of the reinsurance transaction on the Company's 2018 financial statement was a decrease in net income of approximately $12.0 primarily due to the ceding commission the Company paid to Athene.

Effective December 31, 2018 the Company and it's affiliate SLD entered into an Automatic Retrocession Agreement whereby SLD assumed certain life insurance business from the Company on a modified coinsurance basis. The Company ceded $872.8 in premiums to SLD; the approximate effects of the transaction on the Company’s 2018 financial statements was an increase in pre-tax income $10.6 and an increase in surplus of $40.3; the result of a deferred gain.

Assumed premiums amounted to $88.5, $1,213.7 and $96.1 for 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The Company’s ceded reinsurance arrangements reduced certain items in the accompanying financial statements by the following amounts:



	2019		2018		2017
	(In Thousands)
Premiums for the year ended	$	2,502,311	$	3,041,384	$	2,413,743
Benefits paid or provided for the year ended	2,228,698		1,960,684		2,034,438
Policy and contract liabilities at year end	11,890,454		11,475,126		11,484,520

The amount of reinsurance credits taken for new agreements executed since January 1, 2019 to include policies or contracts that were in force or which had existing reserves established by the Company, were $183.7.

The Company has reinsurance agreements in effect under which the reinsurer may unilaterally cancel the agreement. The aggregate reduction in surplus of a unilateral cancellation by the reinsurer which results in a net obligation of the reporting entity to the reinsurer is $0.1, and the total amount of reinsurance credits taken for these agreements is $0.4 and $0.7 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The Company estimates that an aggregate reduction in surplus of $8.0 billion would occur in the event that all reinsurance agreements were terminated, by either party, as of December 31, 2019. The amount estimated for years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $7.4 billion and $7.6 billion, respectively. This excludes any agreements under which the reinsurer may unilaterally cancel for reasons other than nonpayment of premium or other similar credits.

12.	Capital and Surplus

Under Minnesota insurance regulations, the Company is required to maintain a minimum total capital and surplus of $2.0. Under Minnesota insurance law, an extraordinary dividend or distribution is defined as a dividend or distribution that, together with other dividends and distributions made within the preceding twelve months, exceeds the greater of (1) 10% of the insurer’s policyholder surplus as of the preceding December 31 or (2) the insurer's net gain from operations for the twelve-month period ended the preceding December 31, in each case determined in accordance with statutory accounting principles. In addition, under Minnesota insurance law, no dividend or other distribution exceeding an amount equal to an insurance company's earned surplus may be paid without the domiciliary insurance regulator's prior approval. An extraordinary dividend or distribution cannot be paid without the prior approval of the Minnesota Department of Commerce-Insurance Division.

A surplus note with a carrying value and par value of $100.0 was issued by the Company to Voya Holdings on December 1, 2001 with September 15, 2021 as the date of maturity. On November 25, 2009, the surplus note transferred beneficial ownership from Voya Holdings to SLDI Georgia Holdings, Inc.("SGH"). For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, interest paid totaled $3.1, $2.6 and $2.6, respectively. There is no accrued interest for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. The interest rate associated with this surplus debenture varies. The amount of unapproved interest and/or principal associated with this surplus debenture is $0.9, $0.8, and $0.0 as of December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Payment of the note and related accrued interest is subordinate to payments due to policyholders, claimant and beneficiary claims, as well as debts owed to all other classes of debtors, other than surplus note holders of the Company in the event of (a) the institution of bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, or liquidation proceedings by or against the Company, or (b) the appointment of a Trustee, receiver or other conservator for a substantial part of the Company’s properties. Any payment of principal and/or interest made is subject to the prior approval of the Minnesota Insurance Commissioner.

Capital Contributions and Extraordinary Dividends

On April 4, 2019, the Company declared an extraordinary distribution, which has been recorded as a reduction to paid in capital, in the amount of $360.0 to its sole shareholder, Voya Holdings Inc., for ultimate distribution to Voya Financial, Inc., subject to approval of the Minnesota Department of Commerce-Insurance Division, which was paid on April 30, 2019, after receipt of such approval.

On December 21, 2018, the Company received a return of capital of $7.5 million from RR.

On December 27, 2017, the Company received a return of capital of $14.0 from RR.

The Company did not receive any capital contributions from Voya Holdings during 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Life and health insurance companies are subject to certain Risk Based Capital ("RBC") requirements as specified by the NAIC. Under those requirements, the amount of capital and surplus maintained by a life and health insurance company is to be determined based on the various risk factors related to it. The Company exceeded the minimum RBC requirements that would require any regulatory or corrective action for all periods presented herein.

13.	Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The fair value of an asset is the amount at which that asset could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties, that is, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The fair value of a liability is the amount at which that liability could be incurred or settled in a current transaction between willing parties, that is, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

Fair values are based on quoted market prices when available. When market prices are not available, fair value is generally estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, incorporating current market inputs for similar financial instruments with comparable terms and credit quality (matrix pricing). In instances where there is little or no market activity for the same or similar instruments, the Company estimates fair value using methods, models and assumptions that management believes market participants would use to determine a current transaction price. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment which becomes more significant with increasingly complex instruments or pricing models. Where appropriate, adjustments are included to reflect the risk inherent in a particular methodology, model or input used.

In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the financial instrument. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented herein do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

Life insurance liabilities that contain mortality risk and all nonfinancial instruments have been excluded from the disclosure requirements. However, the fair values of liabilities under all insurance contracts are taken into consideration in the Company’s overall management of interest rate risk, such that the Company’s exposure to changing interest rates is minimized through the matching of investment maturities with amounts due under insurance contracts.

The Company’s composition of asset mix can change from period to period and all assets described below may not be held at December 31, 2019.

The following methods and assumptions are used by the Company in estimating the fair value disclosures for financial instruments in the accompanying financial statements and notes there to:

Cash, cash equivalents and short term investments: The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying balance sheets for these financial instruments approximate their fair values.

Bonds and equity securities: The Company utilizes a number of valuation methodologies to determine the fair values of its bonds, preferred stocks and common stocks reported herein

RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

in conformity with the concepts of “exit price” and the fair value measurement as prescribed in SSAP No. 100R, Fair Value ("SSAP No. 100R"). Valuations are obtained from third party commercial pricing services, brokers, and industry-standard vendor-provided software that models the value based on market observable inputs. The valuations obtained from brokers and third-party commercial pricing services are non-binding. The valuations are reviewed and validated monthly through the internal valuation committee price variance review, comparisons to internal pricing models, back testing to recent trades, or monitoring of trading volumes.

Fair values of privately placed bonds are determined using a matrix-based pricing model. The model considers the current level of risk-free interest rates, current corporate spreads, the credit quality of the issuer, and cash flow characteristics of the security. Also considered are factors such as the net worth of the borrower, the value of collateral, the capital structure of the borrower, the presence of guarantees, and the Company’s evaluation of the borrower’s ability to compete in its relevant market. Using this data, the model generates estimated market values which the Company considers reflective of the fair value of each privately placed bond.

For securities not actively traded, fair values are estimated using values obtained from independent pricing services or, in the case of private placement investments, are estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows. The discount rates used vary as a function of factors such as yield, credit quality, and maturity, which fall within a range between 0.7% and 8.4% over the total portfolio. The Company’s statutory fair values represent the amount that would be received to sell securities at the measurement date (i.e. “exit value” concept).

Mortgage loans: Estimated fair values for commercial real estate loans were generated using a discounted cash flow approach. Loans in good standing are discounted using interest rates determined by U.S. Treasury yields on December 31 and spreads applied on new loans with similar characteristics. The amortizing features of all loans are incorporated in the valuation. Where data on option features is available, option values are determined using a binomial valuation method, and are incorporated into the mortgage valuation. Restructured loans are valued in the same manner; however, these loans were discounted at a greater spread to reflect increased risk.

Derivative financial instruments: Fair values for derivative financial instruments are based on broker/dealer valuations or on internal discounted cash flow pricing models, taking into account current cash flow assumptions and the counterparties’ credit standing.

The carrying value of all other financial instruments approximates their fair value.

Included in various investment related line items in the financial statements are certain financial instruments carried at fair value. Other financial instruments are periodically measured at fair value, such as when impaired, or for certain bonds and preferred stock when carried at the lower of cost or market.

RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis

December 31, 2019

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

Derivatives are carried at fair value, which is determined using the Company’s derivative accounting system in conjunction with observable key financial data from third-party sources, such as yield curves, exchange rates, Standard & Poor's ("S&P") 500 Index prices and London Interbank Offered Rates ("LIBOR") and Overnight Index Swap Rates ("OIS"). For those derivatives that are unable to be valued by the accounting system, the Company typically utilizes values established by third-party brokers. Derivatives which qualify for special hedge accounting treatment are reported in a manner that is consistent with the accounting for the hedged asset or liability.

The Company's financial assets and liabilities have been classified, for disclosure purposes, based on a hierarchy defined by SSAP No. 100R.

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the balance sheets are categorized as follows:


▪	Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market.


▪	Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following:


a)	Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;


b)	Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets;


c)	Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable; and


d)	Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means.


▪	Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These valuations, whether derived internally or obtained from a third party, use critical assumptions that are not widely available to estimate market participant expectations in valuing the asset or liability.

The following valuation methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the reported values for the investments and derivatives described below:

Bonds and other invested assets: Securities that are carried at fair value on the balance sheet are classified as Level 2 or Level 3. Level 2 bond prices are obtained through several commercial pricing services, which incorporate a variety of market observable information in their valuation

RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

techniques, including benchmark yields, broker-dealer quotes, credit quality, issuer spreads, bids, offers and other reference data to provide estimated fair values. Fair value for privately placed bonds and other invested assets is determined using a matrix-based pricing model and are classified as Level 2 assets. When a price cannot be obtained from a commercial pricing service, independent broker quotes are solicited. Securities priced using independent broker quotes are classified as Level 3. The Company’s level 3 fair value measurements of its bonds and other invested assets are primarily based on broker quotes for which the quantitative detail of the unobservable inputs is neither provided nor reasonably corroborated, thus negating the ability to perform a sensitivity analysis.

Preferred and common stock: Fair values of publicly traded equity securities are based upon quoted market price and are classified as Level 1 assets. Certain preferred stock and common stock prices are obtained through commercial pricing services and are classified as Level 2 assets. Other equity securities, typically private equities or equity securities not traded on an exchange are valued by other sources such as analytics or brokers and are classified as Level 3 assets.

Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments: The carrying amounts for cash reflect the assets’ fair values. The fair values for cash equivalents and short-term investments are determined based on quoted market prices. These assets are classified as Level 1.

Assets held in separate accounts: Assets held in separate accounts are reported at the quoted fair values of the underlying investments in the separate accounts. Mutual funds, short-term investments and cash are based upon a quoted market price and are included in Level 1. The underlying instruments in bonds have valuations that are obtained from third-party commercial pricing services and brokers and are classified in the fair value hierarchy consistent with the policies described above for bonds.

Derivatives: The carrying amounts for these financial instruments, which can be assets or liabilities, reflect the fair value of the assets and liabilities. Certain derivatives are carried at fair value (on the balance sheets), which is determined using the Company’s derivative accounting system in conjunction with observable key financial data, such as yield curves, exchange rates, S&P 500 Index prices, LIBOR, and OIS, which are obtained from third party sources and uploaded into the system. For those derivatives that are unable to be valued by the accounting system, the Company typically utilizes values established by third party brokers. Counterparty credit risk is considered and incorporated in the Company’s valuation process through counterparty credit rating requirements and monitoring of overall exposure. The Company’s own credit risk is monitored by comparison of credit ratings from national rating services. It is the Company’s policy to transact only with investment grade counterparties with a credit rating of A- or better. The Company also has certain swaps and options that are priced using models that primarily use market observable inputs, but contain inputs that are not observable to market participants, which have been classified as Level 3. However, all other

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

derivative instruments are valued based on market observable inputs and are classified as Level 2.

Mortgage loans: The fair values for mortgage loans are estimated on a monthly basis using discounted cash flow analyses and rates currently being offered in the marketplace for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings. Loans with similar characteristics are aggregated for purposes of the calculations. Mortgage loans are classified as Level 3.

Contract loans: The fair value of policy loans approximates the carrying value of the loans. Contract loans are collateralized by the cash surrender value of the associated insurance contracts and are classified as Level 1.

Deposit type contracts: Fair value is estimated as the present value of expected cash flows associated with the contract liabilities discounted using risk-free rates plus an adjustment for nonperformance risk. The valuation is consistent with current market parameters. Margins for non-financial risks associated with the contract liabilities are also included. These liabilities are classified as Level 3.

For certain deposit type contracts, fair value is estimated by discounting cash flows at rates that are risk-free rates plus an adjustment for nonperformance risk. These liabilities are classified as Level 2.

Supplementary contracts and immediate annuities: Fair value is estimated as the present value of expected cash flows associated with the contract liabilities discounted using risk-free rates plus an adjustment for nonperformance risk. The valuation is consistent with current market parameters. Margins for non-financial risks associated with the contract liabilities are also included. These liabilities are classified as Level 2 and 3.

Transfers into or out of Level 3 during the year ended December 31, 2019 are due to the variation in inputs relied upon for valuation each quarter. Securities that are primarily valued using independent broker quotes, when prices are not available from one of the commercial pricing services, are reflected as transfers into Level 3. These securities are generally less liquid with very limited trading activity or where less transparency exists corroborating the inputs to the valuation methodologies. When securities are valued using more widely available information, the securities are transferred out of Level 3 and into Level 1 or 2, as appropriate.

Transfers into Level 3 during the year ended December 31, 2019 are the result of a re-evaluation of certain supplementary contracts and immediate annuities previously classified as Level 2. Based on this evaluation, Level 3 classification has been deemed appropriate.

14.	Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Leases: The Company is party to certain cost sharing agreements with other affiliated Voya Financial, Inc. companies. Included in those cost sharing arrangements is rent expense, which is allocated to the Company in accordance with systematic cost allocation arrangements. During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, rent expense totaled $1.9, $1.8 and $1.9, respectively.

Legal Proceedings - The Company is involved in threatened or pending lawsuits/arbitrations arising from the normal conduct of business. Due to the climate in insurance and business litigation/arbitration, suits against the Company sometimes include claims for substantial compensatory, consequential or punitive damages and other types of relief. Certain claims are asserted as class actions, purporting to represent a group of similarly situated individuals. The Company’s litigation includes Henkel of America v. ReliaStar Life Insurance Company (USDC District of Connecticut, No. 1:18-cv-00965) (filed June 8, 2018). Plaintiff alleges that the Company breached the terms of a stop loss policy it issued to Plaintiff by refusing to reimburse Plaintiff for more than $47.0 in claims incurred by participants in prior years and submitted for coverage under the stop loss policy. Plaintiff alleges a breach of contract claim or, in the alternative, that the stop loss policy be declared to cover the submitted claims, and also asserts that the Company engaged in unfair trade practices and unfair insurance practices in violation of state statutes, and did so willfully and intentionally to warrant an award of punitive damages under state law. The Company denies the allegations, which it believes are without merit, and intends to defend the case vigorously.

In addition, the life insurance industry, including the Company, has experienced litigation alleging, for example, that insurance companies have breached the terms of their life insurance policies by increasing the insurance rates of the applicable policies inappropriately or by factoring into rate adjustments elements not disclosed under the terms of the applicable policies, and, consequently, unjustly enriched themselves. This litigation is generally known as cost of insurance litigation. While it is not possible to forecast the outcome of such lawsuits/arbitrations, in light of existing insurance, reinsurance and established reserves, it is the opinion of management that the disposition of such lawsuits/arbitrations will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations or financial position. Cost of insurance litigation for the Company includes Advance Trust & Life Escrow Services, LTA v. ReliaStar Life Insurance Company (USDC District of Minnesota, No. 1:18-cv-02863) (filed October 5, 2018), a putative class action in which Plaintiff alleges that the Company’s universal life insurance policies only permitted the Company to rely upon the policyholders’ expected future mortality experience to establish the cost of insurance, and that as projected mortality experience improved, the policy language required the Company to decrease the cost of insurance. Plaintiff alleges that the Company did not decrease the cost of insurance as required, thereby breaching its contract with the policyholders, and seeks class certification. The Company denies the allegations in the complaint, believes the complaint to be without merit, and will defend the lawsuit vigorously.

Regulatory Matters - As with many financial services companies, the Company and its affiliates periodically receive informal and formal requests for information from various state and federal governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations in connection with examinations, inquiries, investigations and audits of the products and practices of the Company or the financial services industry. Some of the investigations, examinations, audits and inquiries could result in regulatory action against the Company. The potential outcome of such regulatory action is difficult to predict but could subject the Company to adverse consequences, including, but not limited to, additional payments to beneficiaries, settlement payments, penalties, fines and other financial liability, and changes to the Company's policies and procedures. The potential economic consequences cannot be predicted, but management does not believe that the outcome of any such action will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position. It is the practice of the Company and its affiliates to cooperate fully in these matters.

Investment Purchase Commitments: As part of its overall investment strategy, the Company has entered into agreements to purchase private placements and commercial mortgages of $30.3 and $56.0 at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company is also committed to provide additional capital contributions of $336.6 and $349.5 at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, in partnerships.

Liquidity: The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are product charges, investment income, premiums, proceeds from the maturity and sale of investments, and capital contributions. Primary uses of these funds are payments of commissions and operating expenses, interest credits, investment purchases, and contract maturities, death benefits, withdrawals, surrenders and dividends to its parent.

The Company’s liquidity position is managed by maintaining adequate levels of liquid assets, such as cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments. In addition, the investment portfolio is primarily composed of high quality fixed income investments, which include holdings of U.S. Government securities, high quality corporate bonds and agency backed residential mortgage backed securities. Asset/liability management is integrated into many aspects of the Company’s operations, including investment decisions, product development, and determination of crediting rates. As part of the risk management process, different economic scenarios are modeled, including cash flow testing required for insurance regulatory purposes, to determine that existing assets are adequate to meet projected liability cash flows.

The fixed account liabilities are supported by a general account portfolio principally composed of fixed rate investments with matching duration characteristics that can generate predictable, steady rates of return. The portfolio management strategy for the general account considers the assets available-for-sale. This strategy enables the Company to respond to changes in market interest rates, prepayment risk, relative values of asset sectors and individual securities and loans, credit quality outlook, and other relevant factors. The Company’s asset/liability management discipline includes strategies to minimize exposure to loss as interest rates and economic and market conditions change. In executing this strategy, the Company uses derivative

instruments to manage these risks. The Company’s derivative counterparties are of high credit quality.

On June 11, 2019, S&P upgraded the financial strength rating of the Company from A, Positive to A+, Stable.

On May 9, 2019, A.M. Best assigned the Company a financial strength rating of A with a Stable outlook.

On March 11, 2019, Fitch affirmed the A financial strength ratings of the Company and maintained its Stable outlook.

On June 4, 2018, AM Best removed the insurance financial strength rating of the Company from under review with developing implications and instead, affirmed the financial strength rating of “A” with a stable outlook.

The ratings of the Company by the rating agencies reflect a broader view of how the financial services industry is being challenged by the current economic environment, but also are based on the rating agencies’ specific views of the Company’s financial strength. In making their ratings decisions, the agencies consider past and expected future capital and earnings, asset quality and risk, profitability and risk of existing liabilities and current products, market share and product distribution capabilities, and direct or implied support from parent companies, among other factors.

17.	Accident and Health Contracts

The change in the liability for unpaid accident and health claims and claim adjustment expenses is summarized as follows:



		2019			2018
		(In Thousands)
Balance at January 1		$	414,947		$	432,558
Less reinsurance recoverables		340,095			355,076
Net balance at January 1		74,852			77,482

Incurred related to:
	Current year	118,038			80,883
	Prior years	(12,948		)	(5,267		)
Total incurred		105,090			75,616

Paid related to:
	Current year	78,408			50,587
	Prior years	29,796			27,659
Total paid		108,204			78,246

Net balance at December 31		71,738			74,852
Plus reinsurance recoverables		362,541			340,095
Balance at December 31		$	434,279		$	414,947

The change in incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses attributable to insured events of prior years is generally the result of ongoing analysis of recent loss development trends, but could include a reduction due to retrospectively rated contracts. Incurred and paid claims are presented net of reinsurance. Original estimates are increased or decreased as additional information becomes known regarding individual claims.

The liability for unpaid accident and health claims and claim adjustment expenses is included in accident and health reserves and unpaid claims on the balance sheet.

The Company currently does not actively write any health insurance premium subject to the Affordable Care Act Risk sharing provisions. The Company's existing health insurance business consists of grandfathered policies issued prior to March 23, 2010 that are not Qualified Health Plans (“QHP”), as defined in the Affordable Care Act. As a result, the Company does not have any admitted assets, liabilities or revenue elements under any program regarding the risk sharing provisions of the Affordable Care Act for the reporting periods ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017.

The amount of group health premiums written, net of reinsurance, which are subject to retrospective rating features by the Company was $1.7, $1.6, and $1.7 for December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

20.	Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated all events occurring after December 31, 2019 through April 3, 2020, the date the financial statements were available to be issued, to determine whether any event required either recognition or disclosure in the statutory-basis financial statements. Subsequent to December 31, 2019 the spread of the COVID-19 virus caused significant financial market volatility, economic uncertainty, and interruptions to normal business activities. As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the full impact to the Company is unknown, but could be material, since the outbreak is still evolving and thus there is significant uncertainty as to its ultimate impacts on the Company. No other material subsequent events were noted other than those already disclosed.

Item 29

Indemnification

Under its Bylaws, Section 5.01, ReliaStar Life Insurance Company ("ReliaStar Life") indemnifies, to the full extent permitted by the laws of the State of Minnesota, each person (and the heirs, executors and administrators of such 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, wherever brought, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer or employee of ReliaStar Life, or is or was serving at the request of ReliaStar Life as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of ReliaStar Life pursuant to such provisions of the bylaws or statutes or otherwise, ReliaStar Life has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in said Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by ReliaStar Life of expenses incurred or paid by a director or officer or controlling person of ReliaStar Life in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person of ReliaStar Life in connection with the securities being registered, ReliaStar Life may, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit the question of whether or not such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act to a committee comprised of directors who are not parties to the proceeding before referring it to a court of appropriate jurisdiction and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. If ReliaStar Life indemnifies or advances expenses in connection with a claim, the Laws of the State of Minnesota require ReliaStar Life to disclose, in writing to its shareholders, the amount of the indemnification or advance and to whom and on whose behalf it was paid.

A corporation may procure indemnification insurance on behalf of an individual who is or was a director of the corporation. Consistent with the laws of the State of Connecticut, Voya Financial, Inc. maintains Professional Liability and Fidelity bond, Employment Practices liability and Network Security insurance policies. The policies cover Voya Financial, Inc. and any company in which Voya Financial, Inc. has a controlling financial interest of 50% or more. The policies cover the funds and assets of the principal underwriter/depositor under the care, custody and control of Voya Financial, Inc. and/or its subsidiaries. The policies provide for the following types of coverage: Errors and Omissions/Professional Liability, Employment Practices liability and Fidelity/Crime (a.k.a. “Financial Institutional Bond”) and Network Security (a.k.a. “Cyber/IT”).

Additionally, Section XVIII of the ReliaStar Life Insurance Company Distribution Agreement with Voya America Equities, Inc. generally provides that each party will indemnify and hold harmless the officers, directors and employees of the other party (and the variable account with respect to indemnity by Voya America Equities, Inc.) against any expenses (including legal expenses), losses, claims, damages, or liabilities arising out of or based on certain claims or circumstances in connection with the offer or sale of the policies. Under this agreement neither party is entitled to indemnity if the expenses (including legal expenses), losses, claims, damages, or liabilities resulted from their own willful misfeasance, bad faith, negligence, misconduct or wrongful act.
