SUMMARY

 

In this prospectus “We,” “Our,” “Us,” “Midland National,” and “Company” mean Midland National Life Insurance Company.  “You” and “Your” mean the owner of the Contract.  We refer to the person who is covered by the Contract as the “annuitant,” because the annuitant and the owner might not be the same.

 

This summary provides only a brief overview of the more important features of the Contract. The detailed information appearing later in this prospectus further explains the following summary.  Please read this entire prospectus, Your Contract and the SAI for more detailed information.  The prospectus discloses all material features and benefits of the Contract. Unless otherwise indicated, the description of the Contract in this prospectus assumes that the Contract is in force.

 

Features of LiveWell Variable Annuity

 

The LiveWell Variable Annuity, a flexible premium deferred variable annuity, described in this prospectus provides for accumulation of assets (the “accumulation value”) and payment of annuity payments.  The Contract is designed to aid individuals in long-term planning for retirement or other long-term purposes.

 

The Contract is available for situations that do not qualify for the special federal tax advantages available under the Internal Revenue Code (“Non-Qualified Contract”) and for retirement plans which do qualify for those tax advantages (“Qualified Contract”).  This Contract does not offer any additional tax benefits when purchased under a qualified plan.  See “Suitability of the Contract” on page 15 for more detailed information.

 

Replacing an existing annuity with the Contract may not be of financial benefit to You.  Your existing annuity may be subject to fees or penalties on surrender.  Compare the fees, charges, coverage provisions and limitations, if any, of Your existing annuity with those of the Contract described in this prospectus before replacing an existing annuity.

 

This Contract is designed for people seeking long-term tax-deferred accumulation of assets, generally for retirement or other long-term purposes.  You should not buy this Contract: 

·         if You are looking for a short-term investment; or

·         if You cannot risk getting back less money than You put in.

You can examine the Contract and return it to Us for any reason within ten (10) days after You receive it for a refund of the accumulation value (which may be more or less than the premium payments You paid), or if greater and required by Your state, the original amount of Your premium payment.  Longer free look periods apply in some states and in certain situations.  See “Free Look” on page 19 for more details.

 

Your Accumulation Value

Your accumulation value depends on:

·         the amount and frequency of premium payments,

·         the selected subaccounts’ investment experience,

·         partial withdrawals, and

·         charges and deductions.

 

You bear the investment risk under the Contract.  There is no minimum guaranteed accumulation value and You could lose accumulation value invested in this Contract.

 

Flexible Premium Payments

You may pay premiums whenever You want, prior to annuitization, and in whatever amount You want, within certain limits and subject to Our ability to refuse any premiums.  The minimum initial premium for a Contract is $10,000.  You may make additional payments of $1,000 or more at any time after the free-look period.  By current company practice, We will also accept additional payments via automatic bank draft in amounts of $100 or more per month.

 


 

Unless You receive approval from Us, the maximum amount of premium You can pay into this Contract prior to the maturity date is $2,000,000.  Also, an initial or additional premium that would cause the contract value of all annuities that You maintain with Midland National to exceed $5,000,000 requires Our prior approval.  This limit is calculated for each annuitant or owner and is based on all active annuity contracts.

 

Investment Choices

You allocate Your accumulation value to the investment options of Our Separate Account available under this Contract.  Currently, We do not limit the maximum number of investment options. However, We reserve the right to limit the maximum number of investment options invested in at any one time. 

 

For a full description of the investment options, see the portfolios’ prospectuses or summary prospectuses, which accompany this prospectus.  See “APPENDIX A – SEPARATE ACCOUNT INVESTMENT OPTIONS” on page 45 for more information.

 

Each investment option pays a different investment management or advisory fee and has different operating expenses.  More detail concerning each investment options’ fees and expenses is contained in the prospectus provided by the fund company. 

 

We allocate Your premiums and investment allocations to the investment options You choose.  The value of Your Contract will fluctuate daily during the accumulation period depending on the investment options You have chosen; You bear the investment risk.

 

Transfers

We currently do not charge for transfers between investment options, but reserve the right to charge $15 per transfer for transfers in excess of 15 per Contract year. If assessed, this charge will be deducted from the amount that is transferred prior to the allocation to a different investment option. The fee is waived for transfers in connection with active dollar cost averaging (“DCA”) or automatic rebalancing programs. We also reserve the right to limit the number of transfers You may make and may otherwise modify or terminate transfer privileges if required by Our business judgment or in accordance with applicable law or pursuant to Our agreements with the underlying portfolios.  We reserve the right to eliminate and/or severely restrict the transfer privilege in any manner We deem appropriate for some, all, or specific Contract owners.  See “Transfer Limitations” on page 21 for more information. Your ability to make transaction requests may be limited as to the time, frequency and dollar amount when using a third-party investment adviser.

 

Frequent or Disruptive Transfers

Frequent, large, programmed, or short-term transfers among the investment options can cause risks with adverse effects for other Contract owners (and beneficiaries and portfolios).  These risks and harmful effects include:

·         dilution of the interests of long-term investors in an investment option if transfers into the option are made at unit values that are priced below the true value or transfers out of the investment option are made at unit values priced higher than the true value (some “market timers” attempt to do this through methods known as “time-zone arbitrage” and “liquidity arbitrage”);

·         an adverse effect on portfolio management, such as causing the portfolio to maintain a higher level of cash than would otherwise be the case, or causing a portfolio to liquidate investments prematurely (or otherwise at an inopportune time) in order to pay withdrawals; and

·         increased brokerage and administrative expenses. 

 

In addition, because other insurance companies and/or retirement plans may invest in the portfolios, the risk exists that the portfolios may suffer harm from frequent, programmed, large, or short-term transfers among investment options of variable contracts issued by other insurance companies or among investment options available to retirement plan participants.

 

Individuals or organizations that use market-timing strategies and make frequent transfers should not purchase the Contract.

 


 

Optional Value Endorsement

If You elect the Optional 5-, 6- or 7-Year Value Endorsement, then You will be subject to a 5-, 6- or 7-year declining surrender charge for each premium payment, but in exchange We will reduce the Separate Account annual expenses by -0.10%, 0.15% or -0.20%, respectively, which is a percentage of the average daily accumulation value.  This reduces the total daily charge of the LiveWell Variable Annuity Contract when You elect the Optional Value Endorsement; see “Fees and Expenses” below.  Electing this endorsement will benefit Contract owners who do not surrender the Contract or take partial withdrawals, in excess of the annual free withdrawal amount, during the surrender charge period.  The Optional Value Endorsement may only be elected at issue (i.e., when You first purchase the Contract). The maximum issue age for the Optional Value Endorsement is 85 (the owner’s age). For detailed information regarding this endorsement see “Optional Value Endorsement” on page 27.

 

Surrenders and Partial Withdrawals

You may generally withdraw all or part of Your surrender value at any time, before annuity payments begin.  Withdrawals, also known as partial withdrawals, will reduce Your net premium and accumulation value which will affect the death benefit on this Contract.  See “Surrenders and Partial Withdrawals” on page 23 for more information.  The amount You request (plus any surrender charge, if applicable) will be deducted from Your accumulation value. We will also deduct a quarterly Contract maintenance fee, as applicable.  You may take a surrender in a lump sum or choose to elect an income through annuitization that will continue as long as You live or for some other period You elect.  See “Free Withdrawal Amount” on page 27 for more information.

 

If You elect the Optional Value Endorsement, then We will deduct  surrender charges for partial withdrawals or full surrenders (including annuitizations). Partial withdrawals will reduce Your net premium, remaining premium and accumulation value as well as the death benefit on this Contract.  See “Surrenders and Partial Withdrawals” on page 23 for more information. We will impose applicable surrender charges on any surrender or partial withdrawal in excess of the free withdrawal amount available under the Optional Value Endorsement, (including surrenders to begin annuity payments).

 

If You do not elect the Optional Value Endorsement and have only the base contract, then We will not deduct surrender charges for partial withdrawals, full surrenders and annuitizations.

 

You may also elect a systematic withdrawal option.  See “Systematic Withdrawals” on page 24. 

 

A partial withdrawal or surrender (including withdrawals to pay third-party investment advisers) may have negative tax consequences, including a 10% tax penalty on certain surrenders prior to age 59 ½.  Under Non-Qualified Contracts, gain, if any, is withdrawn first for tax purposes and is taxed as ordinary income.  See “FEDERAL TAX STATUS” on page 32, and “Electing an Annuity Payment Option” on page 36.  Surrenders from Contracts used for tax-qualified retirement plans may be restricted or penalized by the terms of the plan or applicable law. 

 

Administrative Procedures

We may accept a request for Contract service in writing, by telephone, or other approved electronic means at Our Customer Service Center, subject to Our administrative procedures, which vary depending on the type of service requested and may require proper completion of certain forms, providing appropriate identifying information and/or other administrative requirements.  We will process Your request at the accumulation unit value next determined after You have met all administrative requirements in good order.

 

Good order means that all of the information necessary to process a transaction is provided. This includes any required forms are accurately filled out and that We have all the signatures and other information We require, including written notice and proper notification, as We determine in Our discretion. To the extent applicable, this information and documentation generally includes Your completed application or service form, the Contract number, the transaction amount (in dollars or percentages as applicable), the full names of and allocations to and/or from the investment options affected by the requested transaction, the signatures of all Contract owners, exactly as registered on the Contract, social security number or taxpayer I.D. and any other information or supporting documentation that We may require.  Please sign and date all of Your requests. With respect to purchase requests, good order also generally includes receipt of sufficient funds by Us to effect the purchase.  We may, in Our sole discretion, determine whether any particular transaction request is in good order, and We reserve the right to change or waive any good order requirements at any time.

 


 

For transactions submitted by telephone, facsimile or internet, the transaction must be completed in good order prior to the close of regular trading of the New York Stock Exchange, generally 3:00 p.m. Central Time.

 

Risk of Increases in Fees and Charges

Certain fees and charges assessed against the Contract are currently at levels below the guaranteed maximum levels. We may increase these fees and charges up to the guaranteed maximum levels for newly issued contracts. Fees and changes may not be changed after a contract has been issued.

 

Death Benefit

The LiveWell Variable Annuity Contract pays a death benefit when the owner dies before the maturity date, if the Contract is still in force. 

 

If the owner dies on or after the maturity date, then any remaining guaranteed amounts, other than the amount payable to, or for the benefit of, the owner’s surviving spouse, must be paid at least as rapidly as the benefits were being paid at the time of the owner’s death.  Other rules relating to distributions at death apply to Qualified Contracts.  State premium taxes may also be deducted from all death benefit proceeds. See “Death Benefit” on page 26 for more information.

Note: Once issued, current periodic charges (including the Optional Value Endorsement Annual Expense Reduction) are guaranteed for the life of the Contract.

 

1Currently the annual amount is $40 and may not exceed $60. The quarterly fee is collected on each Contract quarter anniversary, on or before the maturity date, and on full surrender. We reserve the right to change this fee, however, it will not exceed $60 annually.  If Your accumulation value or net premium is greater than $50,000 on the Contract quarter anniversary or full surrender, no Contract maintenance fee is charged. 


 

The quarterly Contract maintenance fee is reflected in the examples below by a method intended to show the impact of the quarterly Contract maintenance fee that is currently assessed for Contracts with an accumulation value of less than $50,000. In the examples, the quarterly Contract maintenance fee is approximated for an “average” Contract with an initial premium of $100,000 as an annual asset charge of 0.06% (based on the maximum $60 charge) or 0.04% (based on the current $40 charge).

2This charge is a percentage of the accumulation value in each investment option.  This annual charge is deducted daily.

3The expense reduction for the 6-Year Value Endorsement is -0.20% for Contracts purchased before May 1, 2017.

 

For information concerning compensation paid for the sale of Contracts, see “Distribution of the Contracts” on page 41.

Expense Examples

 

The following examples are intended to help You compare the cost of investing in the Contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts.  These costs include Contract owner transaction expenses, quarterly Contract maintenance fees, Separate Account annual expenses, and portfolio operating expenses (for the year ended December 31, 2016).

 

All 4 examples assume that You invest $10,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated.  The Examples also assume that Your investment has a 5% return each year.  Although Your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, Your costs would be:

 

Example 1: This example assumes that the highest charges that can be imposed once the contract is issued (i.e., 1.35% separate account annual expenses and $10 quarterly contract maintenance fee), and the highest level of portfolio expenses (without voluntary waiver of fees or expenses), without the Optional Value Endorsement.

The examples do not reflect state premium taxes (which may range up to 3.5%, depending on the jurisdiction).

 

These examples should not be considered a representation of past or future expenses.  Actual expenses may be greater or lower than those shown.  The assumed 5% annual rate of return is purely hypothetical; past or future returns may be greater or less than the assumed hypothetical return.

Box 758547, Topeka, Kansas 66675-8547

 

Condensed Financial Information for the investment options is in “APPENDIX C – CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION” on page 59 to this prospectus.

 

Charges and Fees

 

Sales Charges

Sales charges are not deducted from premium payments, and there are no surrender charges unless You elect the Optional Value Endorsement.  If You elect the Optional Value Endorsement, then a surrender charge of up to 8% will be assessed against those premium payments subject to a surrender charge when they are withdrawn, including surrenders and partial withdrawals to effect an annuity and systematic withdrawals. The amount of any applicable surrender charge depends on the Optional Value Endorsement You choose, and the number of Contract years between the premium payment and the withdrawal.  See “Surrender Charges for the Optional Value Endorsement” on page  29.


 

 

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge

We deduct a 1.00% per annum charge against all accumulation values held in the Separate Account for assuming the mortality and expense risks and other risks under the Contract.  We reserve the right to increase this charge; however, it will not exceed 1.50% per annum. (See “Mortality and Expense Risk Charge” on page 28.)

 

Asset Based Administration Charge

We currently deduct an asset based administration charge of 0.35% per annum against all accumulation values held in the Separate Account.  We reserve the right to increase this charge; however, it will not exceed 0.75% per annum.  (See “CHARGES, FEES AND DEDUCTIONS” on page 28.)

 

Quarterly Contract Maintenance Fee

In addition, We currently deduct a quarterly Contract maintenance fee of $10 from each Contract.  This fee is collected on each Contract quarter anniversary, on or before the maturity date, and on full surrender.  We reserve the right to increase this charge; however, it will not exceed $60 per Contract year or $15 per Contract quarter.  If Your accumulation value or net premium is greater than $50,000 on the Contract quarter anniversary date or at the time of a full surrender, no quarterly Contract maintenance fee is charged.  If Your accumulation value ever becomes insufficient to pay this charge, then Your Contract will terminate without value. (See “CHARGES, FEES AND DEDUCTIONS” on page 28.)

 

Third-Party Registered Investment Adviser Fee

You may elect to have a third-party registered investment adviser, in connection with allocations among the investment options. Midland National does not endorse any advisers, nor do We provide investment advice. You can request that We take withdrawals from Your Contract to pay the advisory fees provided We have received documentation from You and Your adviser.  Any such withdrawal may be taxable, and prior to age 59 ½ may be subject to a 10% penalty tax.  You should consult a tax adviser.  Your ability to make transaction requests may be limited as to the time, frequency and dollar amount when using a third-party investment adviser.

 

State Premium Taxes

We reserve the right to deduct the amount of any state premium taxes levied by a state or any government entity from Your surrender value at surrender and from Your accumulation value at death, maturity or annuitization.  (See “State Premium Taxes” on page 29).

 

Optional Value Endorsement Fee Reduction

When You elect the Optional 5-, 6- or 7-Year Value Endorsement, You will be subject to a 5-, 6- or 7-year declining surrender charge, but in exchange We will reduce Your LiveWell Variable Annuity Separate Account annual expenses by 0.10% (from 1.35% to 1.25%), 0.15% (from 1.35% to 1.20%) or 0.20% (from 1.35% to 1.15%), respectively. We reserve the right to decrease this fee reduction; however, We will not decrease this fee reduction for in force Contracts and the decrease will not be less than 0.00%. The lower fee remains in effect until the Contract is terminated. See “Fees and Expenses” on page 11. This reduction will lower the total fees deducted from Your Separate Account accumulation value. For more detailed information see “Optional Value Endorsement” on page 27.

 

 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT LIVEWELL VARIABLE ANNUITY

 

Suitability of the Contract

 

Because of the fees and expenses and possible loss of principal, the Contracts are not appropriate for short-term investment (especially if You elect an Optional Value Endorsement due to the surrender charge schedule).  In addition, Non-Qualified Contracts may be most appropriate for those who have already made maximum use of other tax favored investment plans such as 401(k) plans.  The tax-deferred feature of the Contract is most favorable to those in high tax brackets.  The tax-deferred feature is not necessary for a tax-qualified plan.  In such instances, purchasers should consider whether other features, such as the death benefit and lifetime annuity payments make the Contract appropriate for their purposes.  Before purchasing a Contract for use in a qualified plan, You should obtain competent tax advice both as to the tax treatment of the Contract and the suitability of the investment for Your particular situation.


 

 

This Contract is not designed for resale or speculation, arbitrage, viatical settlements or any type of collective investment scheme.  This Contract may not be traded on any stock exchange or secondary market.  By purchasing this Contract, You represent and warrant that You are not purchasing or intending to use this Contract, for resale, speculation, arbitrage, viatical settlements or any type of collective investment scheme.

 

Other Products

 

We may offer other variable annuity contracts through Our Separate Account that also invest in some of the same portfolios.  These annuity contracts may have different charges and may offer different benefits.  We encourage You to carefully consider the costs and benefits of the Contract to ensure that it is consistent with Your personal investment goals and needs.  To obtain more information about these annuity contracts, contact Your registered representative, or call Us at (866) 747-3421.

Our Separate Account C and Its Investment Options

 

The Separate Account is the Midland National Life Separate Account C, established under the insurance laws of the State of South Dakota in March 1991 and now governed by Iowa law.  It is a unit investment trust registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the Investment Company Act of 1940.  This registration does not involve any SEC supervision of its management or investment contracts.  The Separate Account is divided into subaccounts, called investment options, each of which invests exclusively in shares of one investment portfolio of a Trust or Fund.  You may allocate part or all of Your premiums to any of the investment options of Our Separate Account available under this Contract (some restrictions may apply).

 

You will find information about the portfolios currently available under Your Contract in “APPENDIX A – SEPARATE ACCOUNT INVESTMENT OPTIONS”.  Appendix A includes information about investment objectives and advisers. Appendix A also includes information about “closed” investment options.

 

Our Separate Account buys and sells the shares of each portfolio at net asset value (with no sales or surrender charge).  More detailed information about the portfolios and their investment objectives, policies, risks, charges, expenses and other aspects of their operations, appear in their prospectuses and in each portfolio’s Statement of Additional Information.  You should read the portfolios’ prospectuses carefully before investing, allocating or transferring money to any portfolio.  You can receive a current copy of a prospectus (or summary prospectus) for each of the portfolios by contacting Your registered representative or by calling Our Customer Service Center at (866) 747-3421 or writing to Our Customer Service Center, Midland National Life Insurance Company, P.O. Box 758547, Topeka, Kansas 66675-8547

 

The portfolios, their managers, or affiliates thereof, may make payments to Midland National and/or its affiliates.  These payments may be derived, in whole or in part, from the fees disclosed in the portfolios’ prospectuses including investment advisory fees, 12b-1 fees and other expenses including service fees (if applicable) charged annually by each portfolio.  Contract owners, through their indirect investment in the portfolios, bear the costs of these fees.  The amount of these payments may be substantial, may vary between portfolios, and generally are based on a percentage of the assets in the portfolios that are attributable to the Contracts and other variable insurance products issued by Midland National.  These percentages currently range up to 0.50% annually.  Midland National may use these payments for any corporate purpose, including payment of expenses that Midland National and/or its affiliates incur in promoting, issuing, marketing, and administering the Contracts, and, that We incur in Our role as intermediary, in promoting and marketing the portfolios.  Midland National and its affiliates may profit from these payments.

The amount You have in each investment option is represented by the value of the accumulation units.  The value You have in an investment option is the accumulation unit value times the number of accumulation units credited to You.  Amounts allocated, transferred or added to the investment options are used to purchase accumulation unitsAccumulation units of an investment option are purchased when You allocate premiums or transfer amounts to that option.  Accumulation units are sold or redeemed when You make a surrender, partial withdrawal or transfer amounts from an investment option, and to pay the death benefit when the owner dies.  We also redeem units to pay for certain charges.

 

We calculate the number of accumulation units purchased or redeemed in an investment option by dividing the dollar amount of the transaction by the investment option’s accumulation unit value at the end of that day, if it is a business day. If it is not a business day, We will use the unit value on the next business day.  The number of accumulation units credited to You will not vary because of changes in accumulation unit values.


 

 

The accumulation units of each investment option have different accumulation unit values.  We determine accumulation unit values for the investment options at the end of each business day.  The accumulation unit value for each investment option is initially set at $10.00.  Accumulation unit values fluctuate with the investment performance of the corresponding portfolios.  Accumulation unit values reflect investment income, the portfolios’ realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, and the portfolios’ expenses.  The accumulation unit values also reflect the daily asset charges We deduct from Our Separate Account currently at an effective annual rate of 1.35% or (1.15% (7-year), 1.20% (6-year) or 1.25% (5-year) when the Optional Value Endorsement is elected) of the accumulation value in the Separate Account.  Additional information about the accumulation unit values is contained in the SAI.

 

We Own the Assets of Our Separate Account

 

We own the assets of Our Separate Account and use them to support Your Contract and other variable annuity contracts.  We may permit charges owed to Us to stay in the Separate Account.  Thus, We may also participate proportionately in the Separate Account.  These accumulated amounts belong to Us and We may transfer them from the Separate Account to Our general account.  The assets in the Separate Account equal to the reserves and other liabilities of the Separate Account may not be charged with liabilities arising out of Our other business.  The obligations under the Contracts are Our obligations.  The income, gains and losses (realized and unrealized) of the Separate Account are credited to or charged against the Separate Account without regard to Our other income, gains, or losses.  Under certain unlikely circumstances, one investment option of the Separate Account may be liable for claims relating to the operations of another investment option.

 

Our Right to Change How We Operate Our Separate Account

 

We have the right to modify how We operate the Separate Account.  In making any changes, We may not seek approval of Contract owners (unless approval is required by law).  We have the right to:

·         add investment options to, or remove investment options from Our Separate Account;

·         combine two or more investment options within Our Separate Account;

·         withdraw assets relating to Our variable annuities from one investment option and put them into another;

·         eliminate a portfolio’s shares and substitute shares of another portfolio or another open-end, registered investment company.  This may happen if the portfolio’s shares are no longer available for investment or, if in Our judgment, further investment in the portfolio is inappropriate in view of the Separate Account’s purposes.  However, if required, We would first seek approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission and the insurance regulator where the Contract is delivered;

·         end the registration of Our Separate Account under the Investment Company Act of 1940;

·         operate Our Separate Account under the direction of a committee or discharge such a committee at any time (the committee may be composed entirely of “interested persons” of Midland under the Investment Company Act of 1940); and

·         operate Our Separate Account or one or more of the investment options in any other form the law allows, including a form that allows Us to  make direct investments.  In addition, We may disapprove any change in investment advisors or investment policies unless a law or regulation provides differently.

 

If any changes are made that result in a material change to any investment option, then You will be notified.  We may, for example, cause the investment option to invest in another mutual fund other than or in addition to the current portfolios.

 

If automatic allocations (such as premiums automatically deducted from Your bank account, or dollar cost averaging or automatic rebalancing) are being made into an investment option that is removed or no longer available, and if You do not give Us other instructions, then any amounts that would have gone into the removed or closed investment option will be allocated to the American Funds IS Ultra-Short Bond FundSM  investment option.

 

If You are enrolled in a dollar cost averaging, automatic rebalancing, automatic premiums, or a comparable program while an underlying investment option merger, substitution or liquidation takes place, unless otherwise noted in a communication from Us, Your accumulation value invested in such investment option will be transferred automatically to the designated surviving investment option in the case of mergers, the replacement investment option in the case of substitutions, and an available Money Market Fund in the case of investment option liquidations. Your DCA or automatic rebalancing enrollment instructions will be automatically updated to reflect the surviving investment option, the replacement investment option or a Money Market Fund for any continued and future transfers or premium payments.


 

 

You may want to transfer the amount in that investment option as a result of changes We have made.  If You do wish to transfer the amount You have in that investment option to another investment option of Our Separate Account, then You may do so, without charge, by writing to Our Customer Service Center.  At the same time, You may also change how Your premiums are allocated.

 

 

DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT THE CONTRACT

 

Requirements for Issuance of a Contract

 

Any person wishing to purchase a Contract may submit an application form and an initial premium payment of at least $10,000.  The sale must take place through a representative who is licensed, registered and authorized to sell the Contract.  The maximum issue age for the Contract is 90 (the owner’s age). 

 

If Your application is complete and in good order (see “Administrative Procedures” on page 10), then We will accept or reject it within two business days of receipt.  If the application is incomplete, then We will attempt to complete it within five business days.  If it is not complete at the end of this period (or cannot be accepted for some other reason), then We will inform You of the reason for the delay and the premium payment will be returned immediately unless You let Us keep the premium until the application is complete.  Your initial premium is held in a non-interest bearing suspense account (which is part of Our general account) until Your Contract is issued or Your premium is refunded.  While Your premium is in that account, Your premium is not protected from claims of Our general creditors.

 

We will allocate Your initial premium payment according to Your instructions if We receive it or accept Your application (whichever is later) at Our Customer Service Center before the New York Stock Exchange closes for regular trading (usually, 3:00 p.m. Central Time).  We will then price the accumulation units purchased with Your premium payment at the unit value determined at the close of that valuation period.  If We receive Your initial premium payment or accept Your application (whichever is later) after the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, We will credit accumulation units at the unit value determined at the close of the next valuation period.

 

There may be delays in Our receipt of applications that are outside of Our control because of the failure of the selling registered representative to forward the application to Us promptly, or because of delays in their broker dealer determining that the Contract is suitable for You.  Any such delays will affect when Your Contract can be issued and when Your premium payment is allocated among investment options of Our Separate Account.

 

We may offer other variable annuity contracts that have different death benefits, contract features, and optional benefits.  However, these other contracts also have different charges that would affect Your investment performance and accumulation value.  To obtain more information about these other contracts, contact Our Customer Service Center.

 

Free Look

 

You may cancel Your Contract within Your ten (10) day Free Look period.  We deem the Free Look period to expire 10 days after You have received Your Contract.  Some states and situations may require a longer Free Look period.  To cancel Your Contract, You need to return Your Contract to the registered representative who sold it to You or to Our Customer Service Center.  If You cancel Your Contract, then We will return:

·         The accumulation value (which may be more or less than the premium payments You paid), or

·         If greater and required by Your state, Your premiums minus any partial withdrawals.

 


 

 

Tax-Free “Section 1035” Exchanges

 

You can generally exchange one annuity contract for another in a “tax-free exchange” under Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code.  Before making an exchange, You should compare both annuities carefully.  Remember that if You exchange another annuity for the one described in this prospectus, You might have to pay a surrender charge on Your old annuity, there may be a surrender charge on this Contract,  and other charges may be higher (or lower) and the benefits may be different.  You should not exchange another annuity for this one unless You determine, after knowing all the facts, that the exchange is in Your best interest and not just better for the person trying to sell You this Contract (that person will generally earn a commission if You buy this Contract through an exchange or otherwise). If You purchase the Contract in exchange for an existing annuity contract from another company, We may not receive Your premium payment from the other company for a substantial period of time after You sign the application and send it to Us, and We cannot credit Your premium to the Contract until We receive it. You should consult with and rely upon a tax adviser if You are considering a contract exchange.

 

Premium Payments

 

You can make additional premium payments at any time prior to annuitization and in whatever amount You want, within certain limits and subject to Our right to refuse any premiums. Your initial investment must be at least $10,000.  You may make additional payments of $1,000 or more at any time after the free-look period.  By current company practice, We will also accept additional payments via automatic bank draft in amounts of $100 or more per month.  Unless You receive approval from Us, the maximum amount of premium You can pay into this Contract prior to the maturity date is $2,000,000.  In addition, an initial or additional premium that would cause the accumulation value or total value of all annuities that You maintain with Midland National to exceed $5,000,000 requires Our prior approval.  This limit is calculated for each annuitant or owner and is based on all active annuity contracts. 

 

Premium payments will be credited as of the end of the valuation period in which they are received by Us, in good order. Investments after the initial premium payment may be made at any time up to the maturity date. We may refuse to accept certain forms of premium payments (e.g., third party checks, traveler’s checks, money orders).  We reserve the right to accept or reject any premium payment or form of payment.

 

The mailing address to send premium payments to Us is: Midland National Life Insurance Company, P.O. Box 758546, Topeka, Kansas 66675-8546.

 

Allocation of Premium Payments

You will specify Your desired premium allocation on the Contract’s application form.  Your instructions in Your application will dictate how to allocate Your premiums.  Allocation percentages may be any whole number (from 0 to 100) and the sum must equal 100. The allocation instructions in Your application will apply to all other premiums You pay, unless You change subsequent premium allocations by providing Us with written instructions.  We reserve the right to limit the number of investment options in which You can allocate Your premiums or accumulation value.

 

Changing Your Premium Allocation Percentages

You may change the allocation percentages of Your premiums by writing to Our Customer Service Center and telling Us what changes You wish to make.  We may offer other means to make this type of request with proper authorization and verification. These changes will affect transactions as of the date We receive Your request at Our Customer Service Center.  Changing Your allocation instructions will not change the way Your existing accumulation value is allocated among the investment options. While the Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) program is in effect, the allocation percentages that apply to any premiums received will be the DCA allocation percentages unless You specify otherwise.  (See “Dollar Cost Averaging” on page 25).

 

Your Accumulation Value

 

Your accumulation value is the sum of Your amounts in the various investment options.  Your accumulation value will vary daily to reflect the investment performance of the investment option(s) You select, any premium payments, partial withdrawals, surrenders, and charges assessed in connection with the Contract.   Transaction charges are made on the effective date of the transaction.  Charges against Our Separate Account are reflected daily.


 

 

There is no guaranteed minimum accumulation value for amounts allocated to the investment options of Our Separate Account.  You bear the investment risk.  An investment option’s performance will cause Your accumulation value to go up or down each valuation period.

 

Transfers of Accumulation Value

You generally may transfer amounts among the investment options prior to maturity date, unless otherwise noted.  The minimum transfer amount is $100 or 100% of the investment option if less than $100.  The minimum amount does not have to come from or be transferred to just one investment option.  The only requirement is that the total amount transferred that day equals the transfer minimum.

 

Completed transfer requests received at Our Customer Service Center in good order before the New York Stock Exchange closes for regular trading (usually 3:00 p.m. Central Time) are priced at the unit value determined at the close of that valuation period.  If We receive Your completed transfer request in good order after the close of a valuation period, We will process the transfer request at the unit value determined at the close of the next valuation period.

 

For information regarding telephone or facsimile requests, see “Inquiries and Correspondence” on page 16.  Transfers may be delayed under certain circumstances.  See “When We Pay Proceeds from This Contract” on page 40. We currently do not charge for transfers between investment options, but reserve the right to charge $15 per transfer for transfers in excess of 15 per Contract year. If assessed, this charge will be deducted from the amount that is transferred prior to the allocation to a different investment option. The fee is waived for transfers in connection with active DCA or automatic rebalancing programs.

 

We reserve the right to eliminate and/or severely restrict the transfer privilege in any manner We deem appropriate for some, all or specific Contract owners.

 

Transfer Limitations

 

Frequent, large, programmed or short-term transfers among investment options, such as those associated with “market timing” transactions, can adversely affect the portfolios and the returns achieved by Contract owners.  In particular, such transfers may dilute the value of the portfolios’ shares, interfere with the efficient management of the portfolios’ investments, and increase brokerage and administrative costs of the portfolios.  In order to try to protect Our Contract owners and the portfolios from potentially harmful trading activity, We have implemented certain market timing and excessive trading policies and procedures (the “Market Timing Procedures”).  Our Market Timing Procedures are designed to detect and prevent frequent or short-term transfer activity among the investment options of the Separate Account that may adversely affect other Contract owners or portfolio shareholders.

 

More specifically, currently Our Market Timing Procedures are intended to detect potentially harmful trading or transfer activity by monitoring for excessive trading.  We currently define excessive trading as:

·         More than one purchase and sale of the same investment option within a 60-calendar day period, commonly referred to as a “round trip”.  Two or more “round trips” involving the same investment option within a 60-calendar day period is considered excessive trading.

·         Six round-trips involving the same investment option within a twelve month period.

 

We will review transfer requests, daily blotters, and transaction logs in an attempt to identify transfers that exceed these transfer parameters.  We will review those transfers (and other transfers in the same Contract) to determine if, in Our judgment, the transfers are part of a market timing strategy or otherwise have the potential to be harmful.  We will honor and process the second transfer request, but if We believe that the activity is potentially harmful, We will suspend that Contract’s transfer privileges and We will not accept another transfer request telephonically or electronically (fax, internet, etc.) for 14 business days.  We will attempt to inform the Contract owner (or registered representative) by telephone that their transfers have been deemed potentially harmful to others and that their telephone and electronic transfer privilege is suspended for 14 days.  If We do not succeed in reaching the Contract owner or registered representative by phone, We will send a letter by first class mail to the Contract owner’s address of record.


 

 

We reserve the right to apply Our market timing procedures to all of the investment options available under the Contracts, including those investment options that invest in portfolios that affirmatively permit frequent and short-term trading in other variable annuity contracts offered by Us or other insurance companies.  Therefore, if You allocate premiums or Your accumulation value to this type of investment option, You may indirectly bear the effects of market timing or other frequent trading. These portfolios might not be appropriate for long-term investors.  For a complete description of each portfolios’ trading policies, review each portfolios’ prospectus.

 

In addition to Our own market timing procedures, managers of the investment portfolios might contact Us if they believe or suspect that there is market timing or other potentially harmful trading, and if so We will take appropriate action to protect others.  In particular, We may, and We reserve the right to, reverse a potentially harmful transfer.  If so, We will inform the Contract owner and/or registered representative. You will bear any investment loss involved in a reversal.

 

To the extent permitted by applicable law, We reserve the right to delay or reject a transfer request at any time that We are unable to purchase or redeem shares of any of the portfolios available through Separate Account C, because of any refusal or restriction on purchases or redemptions of their shares on the part of the managers of the investment portfolios as a result of their own policies and procedures on market timing activities or other potentially abusive transfers.  If this occurs, We will attempt to contact You by telephone for further instructions.  If We are unable to contact You within 5 business days after We have been advised that Your transfer request has been refused or delayed by the investment portfolio manager, the amount intended for transfer will be retained in or returned to the originating investment option.  You should also be aware that as required by Rule 22c-2 under the 1940 Act, We have entered into information sharing agreements with each of the fund companies whose portfolios are offered through the Contract.  Contract owner trading information is shared under these agreements as necessary for the fund companies to monitor portfolio trading and may include personal contract 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 Contract owner’s transactions if the fund company determines that the Contract owner has violated the portfolio’s excessive/frequent trading policy.  This could include the fund company directing Us to reject any allocations of premium or Contract value to the portfolio or all portfolios within the fund family.  We are contractually obligated to comply with all restrictions imposed by the portfolios. You should read the prospectuses of the portfolios for more details on their ability to refuse or restrict purchases or redemptions of their shares.

 

In Our sole discretion, We may revise Our Market Timing Procedures at any time without prior notice as We deem necessary or appropriate to better detect and deter frequent, programmed, large, or short-term transfers that may adversely affect other Contract owners or portfolio shareholders, to comply with state or federal regulatory requirements, or to impose additional or alternate restrictions on market timers (such as dollar or percentage limits on transfers).  We may change Our parameters to monitor for a different number of transfers with different time periods, and We may include other factors such as the size of transfers made by Contract owners within given periods of time, as well as the number of “round trip” transfers into and out of particular investment options for purposes of applying the parameters used to detect potential market timing and other potentially harmful activity.  We may aggregate transfers made in two or more Contracts that We believe are connected (for example, two Contracts with the same owner, or owned by spouses, or owned by different partnerships, trusts, or corporations that are under common control, etc.).

 

We do not include transfers made pursuant to the DCA program and portfolio rebalancing program in these limitations. We may vary Our market timing procedures from investment option to investment option, and may be more restrictive with regard to certain investment options than others.  We may not always apply these detection methods to investment options investing in portfolios that, in Our judgment, would not be particularly attractive to market timers or otherwise susceptible to harm by frequent transfers.  Currently, We do not intend to apply these frequent trading detection methods or restrictions to portfolios that are open for frequent transfers, indicated by an “*” in the list shown on page 2 of this prospectus.

 

We reserve the right to place restrictions on the methods of implementing transfers for all Contract owners that We believe might otherwise engage in trading activity that is harmful to others.  For example, We might only accept transfers by original “wet” Contract owner signature conveyed through the U.S. mail (that is, We can refuse transfer requests submitted by phone, facsimile, e-mail or by any other electronic means, or overnight courier service). We also reserve the right to implement and administer redemption fees imposed by one or more of the portfolios in the future.


 

 

Contract owners seeking to engage in frequent, programmed, large, or short-term transfer activity may deploy a variety of strategies to avoid detection.  Our ability to detect and deter such transfer activity is limited by operational systems and technological limitations.  In addition, the terms of the contract may also limit Our ability to restrict or deter harmful transfers.  Furthermore, the identification of Contract owners determined to be engaged in transfer activity that may adversely affect other Contract owners or portfolios’ shareholders involves judgments that are inherently subjective.  Accordingly, despite Our best efforts, We cannot guarantee that Our Market Timing Procedures will detect every potential market timer. Some market timers may get through Our controls undetected and may cause dilution in unit value to others. We apply Our Market Timing Procedures consistently to all Contract owners without special arrangement, waiver, or exception.  We may vary Our Market Timing Procedures among Our other variable insurance products to account for differences in various factors, such as operational systems and Contract provisions.  In addition, because other insurance companies and/or retirement plans may invest in the portfolios, We cannot guarantee that the portfolios will not suffer harm from frequent, programmed large, or short-term transfers among investment options of variable policies issued by other insurance companies or among investment options available to retirement plan participants. 

 

Surrenders and Partial Withdrawals

 

You may withdraw all or part of Your surrender value by sending Us a written request at Our Customer Service Center in good order.  The surrender value is the Separate Account accumulation value minus any quarterly Contract maintenance fees, if applicable, and any applicable surrender charge, if You elect one of the Optional Value Endorsements. In some states a state premium tax charge may also be deducted.  Surrenders may be restricted by a retirement plan under which You are covered.  Partial withdrawals must be made in amounts of $1,000 or more (except for systematic withdrawals described below) and cannot reduce Your accumulation value to less than $500.  If a partial withdrawal results in Your accumulation value becoming less than $500, then the entire surrender value must be withdrawn.  A full surrender request, regardless of the accumulation value, must be submitted in writing. We reserve the right to change this process at any time. For a full surrender, You must send in Your Contract with Your surrender request or sign a lost contract statement.

 

You may request partial withdrawals up to $25,000 via telephone, four times a calendar year per Contract, provided prior written authorization has been received by Our Customer Service Center. You will be required to verify personally identifiable information at the time You request a partial withdrawal. If there are joint owners, both owners must be on the telephone at the time of request. 

 

Telephone authorization will remain in effect until We receive written notification from You to terminate this authorization. If the Contract has joint owners, both owners are required to sign the written notification to terminate telephone authorization. We, at Our sole discretion, may discontinue this program at any time. There are some restrictions on telephone partial withdrawals; please call Our Customer Service Center with any questions.

 

We may record telephone calls and use other procedures to verify information and confirm that instructions are genuine. We will not be liable for losses or expenses arising from telephone instructions reasonably believed to be genuine. We reserve the right to restrict, suspend or eliminate the use of, or modify the requirements for making, telephone partial withdrawals at any time.

 

Any required tax withholding and surrender charges, if applicable, will be deducted from the amount paid.  In addition, upon full surrender a quarterly Contract maintenance fee, if applicable, (and possibly a state premium tax charge) may also be subtracted.

 

Completed surrender or partial withdrawal requests received in good order at Our Customer Service Center before the New York Stock Exchange closes for regular trading (usually, 3:00 p.m. Central Time) are priced at the unit value determined at the close of that regular trading session of the New York Stock Exchange. If We receive Your completed surrender or partial withdrawal request in good order after the close of a valuation period, We will process the surrender request at the unit value determined at the close of the next valuation period.

 


 

We will generally pay the surrender or partial withdrawal amount from the Separate Account within seven days after We receive a properly completed surrender or partial withdrawal request in good order.  See “Administrative Procedures” on page 10. We may defer payment for more than seven days when:

·         trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted as defined by the SEC;

·         the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend and holiday closing);

·         an emergency exists or if for any reason it is not reasonably practicable to dispose of or fairly value the securities held in an investment option;

·         for such other periods as the SEC may by order permit for the protection of owners; or

·         Your premium check has not cleared Your bank.

 

See “When We Pay Proceeds from This Contract” on page 40.

 

If We defer payment for 30 or more days, then during the period of deferment, We will pay interest at the rate required by the jurisdiction in which this Contract is delivered.

 

Unless You specify otherwise, Your partial withdrawal will be deducted from all investment options in the same proportion as Your accumulation value bears to each investment option

 

Surrenders and partial withdrawals will generally have Federal income tax consequences that can include income tax penalties and tax withholding. Surrenders and partial withdrawals may be restricted under certain qualified contracts. You should consult with and rely on Your tax advisor before making a surrender or partial withdrawal. See “FEDERAL TAX STATUS” on page 32.

 

Systematic Withdrawals

 

The systematic withdrawal feature allows You to have a portion of the accumulation value withdrawn automatically.  These payments can be made only: (1) while the owner is living, (2) before the maturity date, and (3) after the Free Look period.  You may elect this option by sending a properly completed service form to Our Customer Service Center.  You may designate the systematic withdrawal amount and the period for systematic withdrawal payments.  You will also designate the desired frequency of the systematic withdrawals, which may be monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually. See Your Contract for details on systematic withdrawal options and when each begins.

 

If You have elected the Optional 5-Year Value Endorsement, then a surrender charge of up to 7% (in excess of the free withdrawal amount) will be assessed. The surrender charge is based on the withdrawal amount and the amount of time that has elapsed since each payment. A surrender charge is assessed in the first 5 years following payment, even when the withdrawal is effected for systematic withdrawals. See “Free Withdrawal Amount” on page 27 for more information.

 

If You have elected the Optional 6-Year Value Endorsement, then a surrender charge of up to 7% (in excess of the free withdrawal amount) will be assessed. The surrender charge is based on the withdrawal amount and the amount of time that has elapsed since each payment. The surrender charge is assessed in the first 6 years following payment, even when the withdrawal is effected for systematic withdrawals. See “Free Withdrawal Amount” on page 27 for more information.

 

If You have elected the Optional 7-Year Value Endorsement, then a surrender charge of up to 8% (in excess of the free withdrawal amount) will be assessed. The surrender charge is based on the withdrawal amount and the amount of time that has elapsed since each payment. A surrender charge is assessed in the first 8 years following payment, even when the withdrawal is effected for systematic withdrawals. See “Free Withdrawal Amount” on page 27 for more information.

 

If the New York Stock Exchange is closed for regular trading on the day when the withdrawal is to be made, then We will process Your withdrawal at the unit value determined at the close of the next valuation period.  The deduction caused by the systematic withdrawal will be allocated proportionately to Your accumulation value in the investment options.

 


 

You can stop or modify the systematic withdrawals by sending Us a written notice.  A proper written notice must include the consent of any effective assignee or irrevocable beneficiary, if applicable.

 

Each systematic withdrawal must be at least $100.  Each request for withdrawal amounts of less than $100 will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.  We reserve the right to change the frequency of payments or discontinue payments if the payment is less than $100.  Upon payment, We reduce Your accumulation value by an amount equal to the payment proceeds.  In no event will the payment of a systematic withdrawal exceed the surrender value.  The Contract will automatically terminate if a systematic withdrawal causes the Contract’s surrender value to equal zero.

 

To the extent, if any, that there is gain in the Contract, systematic withdrawals generally are included in the Contract owner’s gross income for tax purposes (as ordinary income) in the year in which the withdrawal occurs, and may be subject to a penalty tax of 10% before age 59 ½.  Additional terms and conditions for the systematic withdrawal program are set forth in Your Contract and in the application for the program.

 

Dollar Cost Averaging

 

The Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) program enables You to make monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual transfers of a predetermined dollar amount from the DCA source account (any investment option) into one or more of the investment options. Your accumulation value must be at least $10,000 to initiate the DCA program.  The minimum monthly amount to be transferred using DCA is $100.

 

This program may reduce the impact of market fluctuations by allocating monthly, as opposed to allocating the total amount at one time.  This plan of investing does not insure a profit or protect against a loss in declining markets. 

 

Only one active DCA program is allowed at a time.  You must complete the proper request form and send it (in good order) to Our Customer Service Center, and there must be a sufficient amount in the DCA source account.  The  source account must have a minimum of $1200 beginning balance to start a DCA program. For any DCA, the minimum amount of time at set-up is 3 months. There is no maximum set-up time limit. We reserve the right to limit or change the minimum and maximum timeframes for the DCA program. You can get a sufficient amount by paying a premium with the DCA request form, allocating premiums, or transferring amounts to the DCA source account.   The DCA request form will specify:

·         the DCA source account from which transfers will be made,

·         the total monthly amount to be transferred to the other investment options, and

·         how that monthly amount is to be allocated among the investment options.

 

Once You elect DCA, additional premiums can be allocated to the DCA source account by sending them in with a DCA request form or written instructions.  Any premium payments received while the DCA program is in effect will be allocated using the allocation percentages from the DCA request form, unless You specify otherwise.  All amounts in the DCA source account will be available for transfer under the DCA program.

 

If it is requested when the Contract is issued, then DCA will start on the Contract anniversary of the second Contract month.  If it is requested after issue, then DCA will start on the Contract anniversary of the next Contract month after the request is received.  DCA will not begin until the end of the free look period.

 

You may stop the DCA program at any time by sending Us written notice.  We reserve the right to end the DCA program by sending You one month’s notice.  You may not elect a DCA program with the Portfolio Rebalancing option.

 

We do not charge any specific fees for You to participate in a DCA program. 

 

Portfolio Rebalancing

 

The Portfolio Rebalancing program allows Contract owners to have Us automatically reset the percentage of accumulation value allocated to each investment option to a pre-set percentage level on a quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis.  The Portfolio Rebalancing program is not available when there is an active DCA program on the Contract. If You elect this option, then on the Contract anniversary date, We will transfer the amounts needed to “rebalance” the accumulation value to Your specified percentages.  Rebalancing may result in transferring amounts from an investment option earning a relatively high return to one earning a relatively low return. Your accumulation value must be at least $10,000 to initiate a portfolio rebalancing program.


 

 

Portfolio rebalancing will remain in effect until We receive Your written termination request.  We reserve the right to end the portfolio rebalancing program by sending You one month’s notice.  Contact Us at Our Customer Service Center to elect the portfolio rebalancing program.

 

There is no charge for portfolio rebalancing transfers.

 

Death Benefit

 

If the owner dies before the maturity date and while the Contract is still in force, We will pay the death benefit to the beneficiary once We receive (at Our Customer Service Center) satisfactory proof of the owner’s death, an election of how the death benefit is to be paid, and any other documents or forms required all in good order.  Once You choose a Death Benefit, You cannot change it.

 

If an owner dies prior to the maturity date, then the death benefit must be paid within 5 years of the owner’s death (other than amounts payable to, or for the benefit of, the surviving spouse of the owner). For joint owners the death benefit is paid upon the first death.

 

Spousal Continuation is available only if the spouse (1) was married to the deceased owner, as recognized by Federal law, as of the date of the deceased owner’s death, and (2) is the sole primary beneficiary. A surviving  spouse may choose to treat the Contract as his/her own Contract. If Your spouse chooses to continue the Contract under spousal continuance, by current company practice they will receive the death benefit. This amount would be allocated among Investment Options in accordance with the current allocations for the Contract and may be, under certain circumstances, considered earnings.

 

If the sole beneficiary is not the spouse, the surviving joint owner will be the designated primary beneficiary and any other beneficiaries on record will be treated as contingent beneficiaries.

 

When a death benefit is paid on the death of an owner or a joint owner and a payment option is selected, the payment option must be an annuity for the life of the payee or for a period extending no longer than the payee’s life expectancy, and payments must begin within one year of the date of death.

 

The amount of the death benefit will be calculated based on the greater of (a) accumulation value or (b) net premiums paid on the business day that Our Customer Service Center receives a complete death benefit claim, which includes all of the following in good order: (a) proof of death acceptable to Us, (b) an election of how the death benefit is to be paid, and (c) any other documents or forms that We require. If there are multiple beneficiaries, each beneficiary will receive their proportional share of the death proceeds as of the date We receive an election of how that beneficiary’s portion of the death benefit  is to be paid (or if later, when all good order requirements are met). Payment will include interest to the extent required by law.

 

After the date on which We receive an original death certificate or a copy of the death certificate via facsimile, the beneficiary has the option of transferring the accumulation value to a money market investment option before the date on which the first complete death benefit claim is received. If there are multiple beneficiaries then they all must join in such a transfer request. 

 

If the owner dies on or after the maturity date, then any remaining amounts, must be paid at least as rapidly as the benefits were being paid at the time of the owner’s death. Other rules relating to distributions at death apply to Qualified Contracts.

 

If any owner is a non-natural person, the death benefit is paid upon the death of an annuitant.

 

If joint owners die within 24 hours of one another, they are considered to have died simultaneously and the eldest is presumed to have died first.

 


 

Naming different persons as owner and annuitant can affect whether the death benefit is payable, the amount of the benefit, and who will receive it. Use care when naming owners, annuitants, and beneficiaries, and consult Your registered representative if You have questions.  State premium taxes may be deducted from the death benefit proceeds.

 

Every state has unclaimed property laws which generally declare annuity contracts to be abandoned after a period of inactivity of 3 to 5 years from the contract’s maturity date or date the death benefit is due and payable.  For example, if the payment of a death benefit has been triggered, but, if after a thorough search, We are still unable to locate the beneficiary of the death benefit, or the beneficiary does not come forward to claim the death benefit in a timely manner, the death benefit will be paid to the abandoned property division or unclaimed property office of the state in which the beneficiary or the contract owner last resided, as shown on Our books and records, or to Our state of domicile.  This “escheatment” is revocable, however, and the state is obligated to pay the death benefit (without interest) if Your beneficiary steps forward to claim the death benefit with the proper documentation.  To prevent such escheatment, it is important that You update Your beneficiary designations, including full names and complete addresses, if and as they change.  Such updates should be communicated in writing, by telephone, or other approved electronic means at Our Customer Service Center.

 

Optional Value Endorsement

 

If You elect the Optional 5-, 6- or 7-Year Value Endorsement on Your application, You elect to add a 5-, 6- or 7-year surrender charge period (the number of years the surrender charge remains in effect as applied to each premium payment).  In exchange for a 5-, 6- or 7-year declining surrender charge for each premium payment, We will reduce the Separate Account annual expenses by 0.10% (5-year), 0.15% (6-year) or 0.20% (7-year) which is a percentage of the average daily accumulation value. We reserve the right to decrease this fee reduction; however, We will not decrease this fee reduction for in force Contracts and the decrease will not be less than 0.00%. The lower fee remains in effect until the Contract is terminated.  See “Fees and Expenses” on page 11.  Electing this endorsement will benefit Contract owners who do not surrender the Contract or take partial withdrawals, in excess of the annual free withdrawal amount, during the surrender charge period.

 

You can only elect this endorsement when You purchase the Contract, (on Your application). Once the endorsement is elected You cannot terminate the endorsement. The maximum issue age for the Optional Value Endorsement is 85 (the owner’s age).

 

The surrender charge schedules for the Optional Value Endorsement are as follows:

Free Withdrawal Amount

Even if You elect an Optional Value Endorsement You may withdraw up to 10% of Your remaining premiums (premiums paid less partial withdrawals on a dollar for dollar basis) each Contract year without incurring a surrender charge. We will allow the free withdrawal amount to be taken in multiple withdrawals each Contract yearThe free withdrawal amount is determined at the beginning of each Contract year on the Contract anniversary. If the free withdrawal amount is not withdrawn or if less than 10% is withdrawn, the amount not taken during the Contract year will not be carried over to subsequent years. A withdrawal may have Federal income tax consequences that can include income tax penalties and tax withholding. See “FEDERAL TAX STATUS” on page 32.


 

 

Please note: Contract owners who have the base contract only (without an Optional Value Endorsement) can make withdrawals at any time in any amount without imposition of a surrender charge.

 

Amounts withdrawn under the Contract to comply with IRS minimum distribution rules and paid under a life expectancy option will not be subject to a surrender charge. The free withdrawal provision pertaining to the IRS minimum distribution will be calculated solely on the accumulation value of this Contract.  Amounts withdrawn to comply with IRS minimum distribution rules will reduce the amount available under the free withdrawal amount.

 

If the total withdrawals exceed the free withdrawal amount, then surrender charges are applied on the withdrawal amount in excess of the free withdrawal amount. Before taking a withdrawal, You should consult a tax advisor to consider the tax consequences of a withdrawal on Your variable annuity contract. See “FEDERAL TAX STATUS” on page 32.

 

 

CHARGES, FEES AND DEDUCTIONS

 

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge

 

We deduct a daily charge for mortality and expense risks currently at an effective annual rate to 1.00% of the accumulation value in the Separate Account.  We reserve the right to increase this charge; however, it will not exceed 1.50% per annum.  The investment option’s accumulation unit values reflect this charge.  We expect to profit from this charge.  We may use the profit for any purpose including paying distribution expenses.  However, the level of this charge is guaranteed for the life of the Contract and may not be increased after the Contract is issued. 

 

The mortality risk We bear arises, in part, from Our obligation to make monthly annuity payments regardless of how long the annuitant or any individual may live.  These payments are guaranteed in accordance with the annuity tables and other provisions contained in Your Contract.  This assures You that neither the longevity of the annuitant , nor an unanticipated improvement in general life expectancy, will have any adverse effect on the monthly annuity payments the annuitant will receive under the Contract.  Our obligation, therefore, relieves the annuitant from the risk that he or she will outlive the funds accumulated for retirement.  The mortality risk also arises, in part, because of the risk that the death benefit may be greater than the accumulation value.  We also assume the risk that other expense charges may be insufficient to cover the actual expenses We incur.

 

Asset Based Administration Charge

 

We currently deduct a daily charge for asset based administration expenses at an effective annual rate of 0.35% of the accumulation values in the Separate Account.  We reserve the right to increase this charge; however, it will not exceed 0.75% per annum.  We deduct this charge proportionally from each investment option.  This charge is for Our record keeping and other expenses incurred in maintaining the Contracts.  However, the level of this charge is guaranteed for the life of the Contract and may not be increased after the Contract is issued.

 

Quarterly Contract Maintenance Fee

 

We deduct a quarterly Contract maintenance fee of $10.  This fee is collected on each Contract quarter anniversary on or before the maturity date, and on surrenders.  We reserve the right to increase this charge; however, it will not exceed $15 per Contract quarter.  If Your accumulation value or net premium is greater than $50,000 on the Contract quarter anniversary or at full surrender, no quarterly Contract maintenance fee is charged.  If Your accumulation value ever becomes insufficient to pay this charge, then Your Contract will terminate without value.

 


 

 

Transfer Charge

 

We reserve the right to charge $15 per transfer for transfers in excess of 15 per Contract year. By current company practice We do not assess this charge. If assessed, this charge will be deducted from the amount that is transferred prior to the allocation to a different investment option. The fee is waived for transfers in connection with active DCA or automatic rebalancing programs.

 

Charges in the Portfolios

 

The fund companies charge their portfolios for managing investments and providing services.  The portfolios may also pay operating expenses.  Each portfolio’s charges and expenses vary. See the prospectus provided by the fund company for more information. 

 

In addition, certain investment options may impose liquidity fees and redemption fees on certain transactions (pursuant to SEC rules 2a-7 and 22c-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940). Any such fees will be passed through and charged to the applicable Contract Owners.

 

State Premium Taxes

 

Midland National reserves the right to deduct premium taxes from Your surrender value at full surrender, death, maturity or annuitization a charge for any state premium taxes levied by a state or any other government entity.  State premium taxes currently levied by certain jurisdictions vary from 0% to 3.5% and is based on Your current residence state.  This range is subject to change.  The states currently participating in this premium tax practice are California, Maine, Nevada, South Dakota, West Virginia, Wyoming and the territory of Puerto Rico.  These states and jurisdictions are subject to change.

 

Other Taxes

 

At the present time, We do not make any charges to the Separate Account for any federal, state, or local taxes (other than state premium taxes) that We incur which may be attributable to such Separate Account or to the Contracts.  We reserve the right to make a charge for any such tax or economic burden resulting from the application of the tax laws.

 

Optional Value Endorsement

 

If You elect the Optional 5-, 6- or 7-Year Value Endorsement,  We will reduce Your LiveWell Variable Annuity Separate Account annual expenses by 0.10% (5-year from 1.35% per year to 1.25%), 0.15% (6-year from 1.35% per year to 1.20%) or 0.20% (7-year from 1.35% per year to 1.15%) in exchange for a 5-, 6- or 7-year declining surrender charge. We reserve the right to decrease this fee reduction; however, We will not decrease this fee reduction for in force Contracts and the decrease will not be less than 0.00%. The lower fee remains in effect until the Contract is terminated.  See “Fees and Expenses” on page  11. This reduction will lower the total fees deducted from Your total separate account annual expenses. For more detailed information see “Optional Value Endorsement” on page 27.

 

Surrender Charges for the Optional Value Endorsement

If You elect the Optional Value Endorsement, We will deduct applicable surrender charges from any surrender or partial withdrawal of premiums (including a surrender to effect an annuity and on systematic withdrawals) that exceeds the free withdrawal amount.  This charge partially reimburses Us for the selling and distributing costs of this Contract.  These include commissions and the costs of preparing sales literature and printing prospectuses.  If the surrender charge is insufficient to cover all distribution expenses, then the deficiency will be met from Our surplus that may be, in part, derived from mortality and expense risk charges (described above). 

 

The surrender charge will be based on the length of time between premium payments and partial withdrawals or surrender.  When determining the applicable surrender charge, the amount subject to a surrender charge will be deducted from premium payments on a First-In, First-Out (FIFO) basis. When calculating surrender charges, earnings are defined as the excess of the accumulation value over the sum of remaining premiums. Any withdrawals will be allocated to remaining premiums first on a FIFO basis and second to earnings, if any.  In determining what the surrender charge is, We do not include earnings, although the actual withdrawal to pay it may come from earnings.


 

 

For purposes of calculating surrender charges, We assume that surrenders and partial withdrawals are made in the following order:

1)      First from premium payments no longer subject to a surrender charge;

2)      Then from the free withdrawal amount on a FIFO basis;

3)      Then from premium payments subject to a surrender charge on a FIFO basis; and

4)      Earnings, if any.

 

The length of time between each premium payment and surrender or withdrawal determines the amount of the surrender charge applied to that respective premium payment.  Premium payments are considered withdrawn in the order that they were received.

 

The surrender charge schedule for the Optional Value Endorsements are as follows:

            (a)        payment of death benefits;

            (b)        exercise of the free look right;

            (c)        withdrawal less than or equal to the free withdrawal amount.

 

The surrender value cannot be greater than the accumulation value, but in no event will it be less than the minimum required by the laws of the state in which this Contract is delivered. At the time of withdrawal, if Your accumulation value is less than Your remaining premium, the surrender charge will still be assessed (measured by) against the full remaining premium  amount. 

 

Amounts withdrawn under the Contract to comply with IRS minimum distribution rules and paid under a life expectancy option will not be subject to a surrender charge. The free withdrawal provision pertaining to the IRS minimum distribution will be calculated solely on the accumulation value of this Contract.  Amounts withdrawn to comply with IRS minimum distribution rules will reduce the amount available under the free withdrawal amount.

 

The following examples are provided to help You better understand how the surrender charges are assessed to premium payments with the Optional Value Endorsement.

 

Example 1: A Contract with the Optional Value Endorsement with a single premium of $100,000, no additional premium payments and there are no partial withdrawals taken. In this example, the $10,000 shown in the calculations below is the free withdrawal amount.  The surrender charge amount for a full surrender of this Contract, in the applicable time period (the first column)  is given in the second column of the table below.

Please note that these surrender charges apply even if the accumulation value has declined to less than premium of $100,000 due to poor investment performance (and fees and expenses), since the charge is a percentage of the premium deemed withdrawn, not a percentage of the accumulation value withdrawn.

 

Example 2: A Contract with the Optional Value Endorsement with an initial premium of $100,000.  An additional premium of $50,000 is made on the 3nd Contract anniversary.  If there are no additional premiums beyond the two premiums stated, and there are no partial withdrawals taken, then the surrender charge amount for a full surrender of this Contract, in the applicable time period (the first column), is given in the second column of the table below.

FEDERAL TAX STATUS

 

Introduction

 

NOTE:  We have prepared the following information on federal income taxes as a general discussion of the subject.  It is not intended as tax advice to any individual.  No attempt is made to consider any applicable state or other income tax laws, any state and local estate or inheritance tax, or other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of distributions under the Contract.  You should consult Your own tax advisor about Your own circumstances.  We have included an additional discussion regarding taxes in the SAI. 

 

Annuity Contracts in General

 

Deferred annuities are a way of setting aside money for future needs like retirement.  Congress recognized how important saving for retirement is and provided special rules in the Internal Revenue Code for annuities.

 

Simply stated, these rules provide that generally You will not be taxed on the gain, if any, on the money held in Your annuity contract until You take the money out.  This is referred to as tax deferral.  There are different rules as to how You will be taxed depending on how You take the money out and the type of Contract – qualified or nonqualified (discussed below).

 

You will generally not be taxed on increases in the value of Your Contract until a distribution occurs – either as a surrender or as annuity payments.

 


 

When a non-natural person (e.g., corporation or certain other entities other than tax-qualified trusts) owns a Non-Qualified Contract, the contract will generally not be treated as an annuity for tax purposes and any increase in the excess of the account value over the investment in the Contract during the taxable year must generally be included in income. There are some exceptions to this rule and a prospective owner that is not a natural person should discuss these with a tax advisor.

 

Qualified and Non-Qualified Contracts

If You invest in a variable annuity as part of an individual retirement plan, Your annuity is called a Qualified Contract. If Your annuity is independent of any formal retirement or pension plan, it is termed a Non-Qualified Contract. The tax rules applicable to qualified contracts vary according to the type of retirement plan and the terms and conditions of the plan.

 

Qualified contracts are issued in connection with the plans listed below.  There is additional information about qualified contracts in the SAI.

·         Individual Retirement Annuity (IRA): A traditional IRA allows individuals to make contributions, which may be deductible, to the annuity.  Distributions from an IRA are generally subject to tax and, if made before age 59½, may be subject to a 10% penalty tax.

·         Roth IRAs, as described in Code section 408A, permit certain eligible individuals to make non-deductible contributions to a Roth IRA in cash or as a rollover or transfer from another Roth IRA or other IRA.  A rollover from or conversion of an IRA to a Roth IRA is generally subject to tax.  The owner may wish to consult a tax adviser before combining any converted amounts with any other Roth IRA contributions, including any other conversion amounts from other tax years.  Distributions from a Roth IRA generally are not taxed, except that, once aggregate distributions exceed contributions to the Roth IRA, income tax and a 10% penalty tax may apply to distributions made (1) before age 59½ (subject to certain exceptions) or (2) during the five taxable years starting with the year in which the first contribution is made to any Roth IRA.  A 10% penalty tax may apply to amounts attributable to a conversion from an IRA if they are distributed during the five taxable years beginning with the year in which the conversion was made.

 

Distributions that are rolled over to another IRA within 60 days are not immediately taxable, however only one such rollover is permitted each year. Beginning in 2015, an individual can make only one rollover from an IRA to another (or the same) IRA in any 12-month period, regardless of the number of IRAs that are owned. The limit will apply by aggregating all of an individual’s IRAs, including SEP and SIMPLE IRAs as well as traditional and Roth IRAs, effectively treating them as one IRA for purposes of the limit.  This limit does not apply to direct trustee-to-trustee transfers or conversions of an IRA to a Roth IRA.

 

Minimum Distribution Rules and Eligible Rollover Distributions

Qualified contracts have minimum distribution rules that govern the timing and amount of distributions.  If You are attempting to satisfy these rules before the maturity date, the value of any enhanced death benefit may need to be included in calculating the amount required to be distributed. Consult with and rely upon Your tax advisor. In addition, the income for a specified period option may not always satisfy minimum required distribution rules. Consult with and rely upon Your tax advisor before electing this option. 

 

Diversification and Distribution Requirements

The Internal Revenue Code provides that the underlying investments for a nonqualified variable annuity must satisfy certain diversification requirements in order to be treated as an annuity.  The annuity must also meet certain distribution requirements at the death of the annuitant or an owner in order to be treated as an annuity contract. These diversification and distribution requirements are discussed in the SAI.  Midland National may modify the contract to attempt to maintain favorable tax treatment.

 

Surrenders and Partial Withdrawals

If You make a partial withdrawal from a Non-Qualified Contract before the annuity commencement date, the Internal Revenue Code treats that surrender as first coming from gain and then from Your premium payments.  When You make a partial withdrawal, You are taxed on the amount of the surrender that is gain.  If You make a full surrender, You are generally taxed on the amount that Your surrender proceeds exceed the “investment in the contract,” which is generally Your premiums paid (adjusted for any prior partial withdrawals that came out of the premiums). Withdrawals from Non-Qualified Contracts to pay third party registered investment advisor fees are treated as taxable withdrawals.  Different rules apply for annuity payments and under Qualified Contracts.  See “Annuity Payments” below.


 

 

In the case of a withdrawal under a Qualified Contract, a ratable portion of the amount received is taxable, generally based on the ratio of the “investment in the contract” to the individual’s total account balance or accrued benefit under the retirement plan.  The “investment in the contract” generally equals the amount of Your non-deductible premium payments.  In many cases, the “investment in the contract” under a Qualified Contract can be zero. 

 

The Internal Revenue Code also provides that surrendered gain may be subject to a penalty.  The amount of the penalty is equal to 10% of the amount that is includable in income.  Some surrenders will be exempt from the penalty.  In general, in the case of a distribution from a Non-Qualified Contract, this includes any amount:

·         paid on or after the taxpayer reaches age 59½;

·         paid after an owner dies;

·         paid if the taxpayer becomes totally disabled (as that term is defined in the Internal Revenue Code);

·         paid in a series of substantially equal payments made annually (or more frequently) under a lifetime annuity;

·         paid under an immediate maturity; or

·         which come from premium payments made prior to August 14, 1982.

 

Special rules may be applicable in connection with the exceptions enumerated above. Also, additional exceptions apply to distributions from a Qualified Contract. You should consult Your tax adviser with regard to exceptions from the penalty tax.

 

Multiple Contracts

All nonqualified deferred contracts that are issued by Midland National (or its affiliates) to the same owner during any calendar year are treated as one annuity for purposes of determining the amount includable in the owner’s income when a taxable distribution occurs. 

 

Withholding

Distributions from Qualified and Non-Qualified Contracts are generally subject to withholding for Your federal income tax liability.  The withholding rate varies according to the type of distribution and Your tax status except with respect to eligible rollover distributions, as described above. You will be provided the opportunity to elect not to have tax withheld from distributions when allowed by law.

 

Annuity Payments

Although the tax consequences may vary depending on the annuity payment option You select, in general, for Non-Qualified and certain Qualified Contracts, only a portion of the annuity payments You receive will be includable in Your gross income.

 

In general, the excludable portion of each annuity payment You receive will be determined by dividing the “investment in the contract” on the maturity date by the total expected value of the annuity payments for the term of the payments.  This is the percentage of each annuity payment that is excludable.

 

The remainder of each annuity payment is includable in gross income.  Once the “investment in the contract” has been fully recovered, the full amount of any additional annuity payments is includable in gross income.

 

If, after annuitization , annuity payments stop because an annuitant  has died, the excess (if any) of the “investment in the contract” as of the annuitization over the aggregate amount of annuity payments received that was excluded from gross income is generally allowable as a deduction for Your last taxable year.

 

Partial Annuitization

If part of an annuity contract’s value is applied to an annuity option that provides payments for one or more lives and for a period of at least ten years, those payments may be taxed as annuity payments instead of withdrawals.  None of the payment options under the Contract are intended to qualify for this "partial annuitization" treatment and, if You apply only part of the value of the Contract to a payment option, We will treat those payments as withdrawals for tax purposes.

 


 

 

Medicare Tax

Distributions from non-qualified annuity contracts will be considered "investment income" for purposes of the Medicare tax on investment income.  Thus, in certain circumstances, a 3.8% tax may be applied to some or all of the taxable portion of distributions (e.g., earnings) to individuals whose income exceeds certain threshold amounts.   Please consult a tax advisor for more information. 

 

Definition of Spouse under Federal Law

The Contract provides that upon Your death, a surviving spouse may have certain continuation rights that he or she may elect to exercise for the Contract’s death benefit and any joint-life coverage under an optional living benefit.  All Contract provisions relating to spousal continuation are available only to a person who meets the definition of “spouse” under federal law.  The U.S. Supreme Court has held that same-sex marriages must be permitted under state law and that marriages  recognized under state law will be recognized for federal law purposes.  Domestic partnerships and civil unions that are not recognized as legal marriages under state law, however, will not be treated as marriages under federal law.  Consult a tax advisor for more information on this subject.

 

Annuity Contracts Purchased by Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Corporations

The discussion above provided general information regarding U.S. federal income tax consequences to annuity owners that are U.S. persons.  Taxable distributions made to owners who are not U.S. persons will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax withholding at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies.  In addition, such distributions may be subject to state and/or municipal taxes and taxes that may be imposed by the owner’s country of citizenship or residence. Additional withholding may occur with respect to entity purchasers (including foreign corporations, partnerships, and trusts) that are not U.S. residents. Prospective foreign owners are advised to consult with a qualified tax advisor regarding U.S., state, and foreign taxation for any annuity contract purchase.

 

Taxation of Death Benefit Proceeds

Amounts may be distributed from the Contract because of the death of the annuitant (only if the owner is a non-natural person) or an owner. Generally, such amounts should be includable in the income of the recipient:

·         if distributed in a lump sum, these amounts are taxed in the same manner as a full surrender; or

·         if distributed under an annuity payment option, these amounts are taxed in the same manner as annuity payments.

 

Transfers, Assignments or Exchange of Contracts

A transfer of ownership or absolute assignment of a Contract, the designation of an annuitant or payee or other beneficiary who is not also the owner, the selection of certain maturity dates, or a change of annuitant, may result in certain income or gift tax consequences to the owner that are beyond the scope of this discussion.  An owner contemplating any such transfer, assignment, selection, or change should contact a competent tax advisor with respect to the potential tax effects of such a transaction.

 

Transfers of Non-Qualified Contracts for less than full and adequate consideration to the Contract owner at the time of such transfer, will trigger taxable income on the gain in the Contract, with the transferee getting a step-up in basis for the amount included in the Contract owner’s income.  This provision does not apply to transfers between spouses or transfers incident to a divorce.

 

Possible Tax Law Changes

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

 

Federal Estate, Gift and Generation-Skipping Transfer Taxes

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


 

 

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

 

For 2017, the federal estate tax, gift tax, and GST tax exemptions and maximum rates are $5,490,000 and 40%, respectively. 

 

The potential application of these taxes underscores the importance of seeking guidance from a qualified adviser to help ensure that Your estate plan adequately addresses Your needs and those of Your beneficiaries under all possible scenarios.

 

Annuity Purchases by Residents of Puerto Rico

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

 

Foreign Tax Credits

We may benefit from any foreign tax credits attributable to taxes paid by certain portfolios to foreign jurisdictions to the extent permitted under Federal tax law.

 

Maturity Date

 

The maturity date is the date on which income payments will begin under the annuity option You have selected.  The earliest possible maturity date under the Contract is the 1st Contract anniversary at which time You may annuitize Your full accumulation value (less any state premium taxes).  The maximum maturity date is the Contract anniversary immediately following the annuitant’s 115th birthday.  You may change the maturity date to an earlier Contract anniversary by sending written notice to Our Customer Service Center.  We must receive Your written notice at least 30 days prior to the original maturity date. The selection of a maturity date at the annuitant’s advanced age could have tax consequences so You should consult a tax adviser.

 

If You have not previously specified otherwise and have not elected certain systematic withdrawal options, then on the maturity date You may:

1.       take the accumulation value, less any state premium tax and any surrender charge, in one lump sum, or

2.       convert the accumulation value, less any state premium tax and any surrender charge,  into an annuity payable to the payee under one of the payment options as described below.

 

Electing an Annuity Payment Option

You may apply the proceeds of a surrender to affect an annuity payment option.  Unless You choose otherwise, on the maturity date Your accumulation value (less any state premium taxes and any surrender charge) will be applied to a 10 year certain and life fixed annuity payment option.  The first monthly annuity payment will be made within one month after the maturity date

 

Only fixed payment options are available. Variable payment options are not available under this Contract. Fixed payment options are obligations of the insurer’s general account and are subject to the insurer’s claims-paying ability.

 

Currently, the payment options are only available if the proceeds applied are $2,000 or more and the annual payment is more than $240.  We reserve the right to change the payment frequency so that payments are at least $100.

 

The annuitant’s actual age will affect each payment amount for annuity payment options involving life income.  The amount of each annuity payment to older annuitants will be greater than for younger annuitants because payments to older annuitants are expected to be fewer in number.  For annuity payment options that do not involve life payment, the length of the payment period will affect the amount of each payment.  With a shorter period, the amount of each annuity payment will be greater. Payments that occur more frequently will be smaller than those occurring less frequently.


 

 

The payee or any other person who is entitled to receive payments may name a beneficiary to receive any amount that We would otherwise pay to that person’s estate if that person died.   The person who is entitled to receive payment may change the beneficiary at any time.

 

Annuity payment options will be subject to Our rules at the time of selection.  We must approve any arrangements that involve a payee who is not a natural person (for example, a corporation), or a payee who is a fiduciary or an assignee.  Also, the details of all arrangements will be subject to Our rules at the time the arrangements take effect.  This includes:

·         rules on the minimum amount We will pay under an option;

·         minimum amounts for installment payments, surrender or commutation rights (Your rights to receive payments over time, for which We may offer You a lump sum payment);

·         the naming of people who are entitled to receive payment and their beneficiaries; and

·         the ways of proving age, gender, and survival.

 

You must elect the payment option at least 30 days before the maturity date.

 

If Your Contract is a Qualified Contract, payment options without a life contingency may not satisfy minimum required distribution rules.  Consult a tax advisor before electing such an option.

 

Fixed Payment Options

Payments under the fixed options are not affected by the investment experience of any investment option.  The accumulation value (less any state premium taxes and any surrender charge) as of the maturity date will be applied to the fixed option selected.  We guarantee interest under the fixed options at a rate of 1.00% a year.  We may also credit interest under the fixed payment options at a rate that is above the 1.00% guaranteed rate (this is at Our complete discretion).  Thereafter, interest or payments are fixed according to the annuity option chosen.

 

Payment Options

The following four payout options are available:

1.       Income for Specified Period: We pay installments for a specified period of 5 to 20 years.  We will pay the amount applied in equal installments plus applicable interest (excess interest may be paid at Our discretion). This option may not satisfy required minimum distribution rules for qualified contracts.  Consult a tax advisor before electing this option under a qualified contract. However, by current company practice We may offer other options.

2.       Income for a Specified Amount: We pay income of the specified amount until the principal and interest are exhausted.  The specified amount is subject to the limitation that principal and interest must be payable for at least 5 years and must be exhausted at the end of 20 years.

3.       Payment of Life Income: We will pay monthly income for life.  You may choose from 1 of 2 ways to receive the income:

a.       Life Annuity: We will pay monthly income for life.  With a life annuity payment option, payments will only be made as long as the annuitant is alive.  Therefore, if the annuitant dies after the first payment, then only one payment will be made.

b.       Life Annuity With Certain Period: We will pay equal monthly payments for either 120 or 240 guaranteed payments, and then for as long as the annuitant is living thereafter. The period certain options are 10 and 20 years. However, by current company practice We may offer other options.

4.       Joint and Survivor Income: We will make monthly payments until the last surviving payee’s death.  Therefore, if both payees die after the first payment, then only one payment will be made.  The annuitant must be at least 50 years old and the beneficiary/payee must be at least 45 years old at the time of the first monthly payment.

 

 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

 

Midland National Life Insurance Company

 


 

We are Midland National Life Insurance Company, a stock life insurance company.  We were organized in 1906, in South Dakota, as a mutual life insurance company at that time named “The Dakota Mutual Life Insurance Company.”  We were reincorporated as a stock life insurance company, in 1909.  Our name “Midland” was adopted in 1925.  We were redomesticated to Iowa in 1999.  We are licensed to do business in 49 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam and the Mariana Islands.  Our Principal Office address is:

 

Midland National Life Insurance Company

4350 Westown Parkway

West Des Moines, IA 50266

Phone: (877) 586-0240 (toll-free)

 

Please note all inquiries, correspondence and premium payments should be sent to Our Customer Service Center.

 

Midland National is a subsidiary of Sammons Enterprises, Inc., Dallas, Texas.  Sammons Enterprises has controlling or substantial stock interests in a large number of other companies engaged in the areas of insurance, corporate services, and industrial distribution.

 

Our Financial Condition

As an insurance company, We are required by state insurance regulation to hold a specified amount of reserves in order to meet all of the contractual obligations of Our general account to Our Contract owners.  We monitor Our reserves so that We hold sufficient amounts to cover actual or expected contract and claims payments.  It is important to note, however, that there is no guarantee that We will always be able to meet Our claims-paying obligations, and that there are risks to purchasing any insurance product.

 

State insurance regulators also require insurance companies to maintain a minimum amount of capital, which acts as a cushion in the event that the insurer suffers a financial impairment, based on the inherent risks in the insurer's operations.  These risks include those associated with losses that We may incur as the result of defaults on the payment of interest or principal on Our General Account assets, as well as the loss in market value of those investments.  We may also experience liquidity risk if Our General Account assets cannot be readily converted into cash to meet obligations to Our Contract owners or to provide collateral necessary to finance Our business operations.

 

We encourage both existing and prospective Contract owners to read and understand Our financial statements, which are included in the Statement of Additional Information ("SAI").  You can obtain a free copy of the SAI by writing to Us at Our Customer Service Center, calling Us at (866) 747-3421, or faxing Us at (866) 511-7038.  The overnight mailing address is Midland National Customer Service Center, Mail Zone 547, 5801 SW 6th Avenue, Topeka, Kansas 66636-1001. 

 

Portfolio Voting Rights

 

We invest the assets of Our Separate Account investment options in shares of the portfolios.  Midland National is the legal owner of the shares and has the right to vote on certain matters.  Among other things, We may vote:

·         to elect the Funds’ or Trust’s Board of Directors/Trustees,

·         to ratify the selection of independent auditors for the portfolios,

·         on any other matters described in the portfolios’ current prospectuses or requiring a vote by shareholders under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and

·         in some cases, to change the investment objectives and contracts.

 

Even though We own the shares, We may give You the opportunity to tell Us how to vote the number of shares that are allocated to Your Contract.

 

The funds companies will determine if and how often shareholder meetings are held.  As We receive notice of these meetings, We will ask for Your voting instructions.  The portfolios are not required to and generally do not hold a meeting in any given year.

 

If We do not receive instructions in time from all Contract owners, then We currently intend to vote those shares in the same proportion as We vote shares for which We have received instructions in that portfolio.  We currently intend to vote any portfolio shares that We alone are entitled to vote in the same proportions that Contract owners vote. The effect of this proportional voting is that a small number of Contract owners may control the outcome of a vote. If the federal securities laws or regulations or interpretations of them change so that We are permitted to vote shares of the portfolio in Our own right or to restrict owner voting, then We may do so.


 

 

How We Determine Your Voting Shares

 

You may participate in voting only on matters concerning the portfolios in which Your accumulation value has been invested.  We determine Your voting shares in each investment option by dividing the amount of Your accumulation value allocated to that investment option by the net asset value of one share of the corresponding portfolio. This is determined as of the record date set by the Fund’s/Trust’s Board of Directors/Trustees for the shareholders meeting.

 

If You have a voting interest, then We will provide You proxy material and a form for giving Us voting instructions.  In certain cases, We may disregard instructions relating to changes in the portfolio’s adviser or the investment adviser contracts of the portfolios.

 

Voting Privileges of Participants in Other Companies

 

Other insurance companies own shares in the portfolios to support their variable life insurance and variable annuity products.  We do not foresee any disadvantage to this.  Nevertheless, each Fund’s/Trust’s Board of Directors/Trustees will monitor events to identify conflicts that may arise and determine appropriate action.  If We disagree with any portfolio action, then We will see that appropriate action is taken to protect Our Contract owners.  If We ever believe that any of the portfolios are so large as to materially impair its investment performance, then We will examine other investment options.

 

Our Reports to Owners

 

We send You a quarterly report within 31 days after the end of each calendar quarter showing the Contract accumulation value, surrender value, and the death benefit as of the end of the calendar quarter.  The report will also show the allocation of Your accumulation value and reflects amounts deducted from or added to the accumulation value since the last report.

 

Confirmation notices will be sent to You for premiums, partial withdrawals, surrenders, transfers of amounts between investment options and certain other financial transactions within 5 business days of processing.

 

You have 30 days to notify Our Customer Service Center of any errors or discrepancies. You must notify Us of any errors within 30 days of the reporting. We will review and potentially correct any errors. In the absence of such notice, You shall be deemed to have accepted the reported transaction(s) and relieved Us of any related claim or liability.

 

We also currently intend to send You semi-annual reports with financial information on the portfolios.

 

Contract Periods, Anniversaries

 

We measure Contract years, Contract months, Contract quarters, and Contract anniversaries from the issue date shown on Your Contract’s information page.  Each Contract month, Contract quarter and Contract year begins on the same day in each month, quarter and year respectively.  For this purpose, if that date is not a calendar date in every month, then We look forward to the first day of the next calendar month.

 

Dividends

 

We do not pay any dividends on the variable annuity Contract described in this prospectus.

 

Change of Address Notification

 


 

To protect You from fraud and theft, We may verify any changes in address You request by sending a confirmation of the change to both Your old and new addresses.  We may also call You to verify the change of address.

 


 

 

Modification to Your Contract

 

Upon notice to You, We may modify Your Contract to:

(a)    permit the Contract or the Separate Account to comply with any applicable law or regulation issued by a government agency;

(b)    assure continued qualification of the Contract under the Internal Revenue Code or other federal or state laws relating to retirement annuities or variable annuity contracts;

(c)    reflect a change in the operation of the Separate Account; or

(d)    provide additional investment options.

 

In the event of such modifications, We will make an appropriate endorsement to the Contract.

 

Your Beneficiary

 

You name Your beneficiary in Your Contract application.  The beneficiary is entitled to the death benefit of the Contract.  A beneficiary is revocable unless otherwise stated in the beneficiary designation.  You may change a revocable beneficiary during the owner’s lifetime.  We must receive written notice (signed and dated) informing Us of the change.  Upon receipt and acceptance at Our Customer Service Center, a change takes effect as of the date that the written notice is recorded by Us.  We will not be liable for any payment made before We receive and accept the written notice.  If no primary beneficiary is living when the owner dies, the death benefit will be paid to the contingent beneficiary, if any.  If no beneficiary is living when the owner dies, then We will pay the death benefit to the owner’s estate.

 

If the sole beneficiary is not the spouse, the surviving joint owner will be the designated primary beneficiary and any other beneficiaries on record will be treated as contingent beneficiaries.

 

Assigning Your Contract

 

You may assign Your rights in a Non-Qualified Contract.  You must send a copy of the assignment to Our Customer Service Center.  The assignment does not take effect until We accept and approve it.  We reserve the right, except to the extent prohibited by applicable laws, regulations, or actions of the state insurance commissioner, to refuse assignments or transfers at any time on a non-discriminatory basis. We are not responsible for the validity of the assignment or for any payment We make or any action We take before We record notice of the assignment.  An absolute assignment is a change of ownership.  There may be tax consequences.

 

This Contract is not designed for resale, speculation, arbitrage, viatical settlements or any other type of collective investment scheme.  This Contract may not be traded on any stock exchange or secondary market.

 

When We Pay Proceeds from This Contract

 

We will generally pay any death benefits, withdrawals, or surrenders within seven days after receiving the required form(s) in good order at Our Customer Service Center.

 

We may delay payment or transfers for one or more of the following reasons:

·         We cannot determine the amount of the payment,

·         the New York Stock Exchange is closed,

·         trading in securities has been restricted by the SEC, 

·         an emergency exists or if for any reason it is not reasonably practicable to dispose of or fairly value the securities held in an investment option,

·         The SEC by order permits Us to delay payment to protect Our Contract owners, or

·         Your premium check(s) have not cleared Your bank.

 

In addition, pursuant to SEC rules, if any portfolio suspends payment of redemption proceeds, then We will delay payment of any transfer (including a transfer under a DCA program), partial withdrawal, surrender, or death benefit from the corresponding investment option until the suspension of redemptions is lifted or the portfolio is liquidated, as applicable.


 

 

Federal laws designed to counter terrorism and prevent money laundering by criminals might in certain circumstances require Us to reject a premium payment and/or “freeze” a Contract owner’s account.  If these laws apply in a particular situation, We would not be allowed to process any request for withdrawals, surrenders, or death benefits, make transfers, or continue making annuity payments.  If a Contract or investment option is frozen, the applicable accumulation value would be moved to a special segregated interest bearing account and held in that account until We receive instructions from the appropriate federal regulator.  We may also be required to provide information about You and Your Contract to the government agencies and departments.

 

Distribution of the Contracts

 

We have entered into a distribution agreement with Our affiliate, Sammons Financial Network, LLC (“Sammons Financial Network”) for the distribution and sale of the Contracts.  Sammons Financial Network is a Delaware limited liability company and its principal office is located at 4546 Corporate Drive, Suite 100, West Des Moines, IA 50266.  Sammons Financial Network is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Sammons Enterprises, Inc., of Dallas, Texas, the ultimate parent company of Midland National Life Insurance Company.  Sammons Financial Network may enter into written sales agreements with other broker-dealers (“selling firms”) for the sale of the Contracts.  We pay commissions to Sammons Financial Network for sales of the Contracts.

 

Sales commissions may vary, but the maximum commission payable for contract sales is 6.25% with the Optional 5-Year Value Endorsement, 6.50% with the Optional 6-Year or the Optional 7-Year Value Endorsement.  If You do not elect an Optional Value Endorsement We will pay 1.00% of premium payments and a 1.00% trail commission is also paid starting in the second year of the Contract based on the accumulation value. Where lower commissions are paid, We may also pay trail commissions. We may also pay additional amounts and reimburse additional expenses of Sammons Financial Network based on various factors. 

 

We also pay for Sammons Financial Network’s operating and other expenses, including the following sales expenses: sales representative training allowances; compensation and bonuses for the Sammons Financial Network’s management team; advertising expenses; and all other expenses of distributing the Contracts. 

 

Sammons Financial Network pays selling firms all or a portion of the commissions received for their sales of  the Contract.  Registered representatives and their managers are also eligible for various cash benefits, such as bonuses, insurance benefits and financing arrangements, and non-cash compensation items that We may provide jointly with Sammons Financial Network.

 

Non-cash items that We and Sammons Financial Network may provide include conferences, seminars and trips (including travel, lodging and meals in connection therewith), entertainment, merchandise and other similar items.

 

A portion of the payments made to selling firms may be passed on to their registered representatives in accordance with their internal compensation programs.  Those programs may also include other types of cash and non-cash compensation and other benefits.  Ask Your registered representative for further information about what Your registered representative and the selling firm for which he or she works may receive in connection with Your purchase of a Contract.

 

In addition to ordinary commissions, Sammons Financial Network operating and other expenses and non-cash items, We provide payments to certain third parties for training, product development, marketing and development efforts with selling firms, and other wholesaling and relationship management services.  It is possible that these third parties, or their personnel, may also act as Your registered investment advisor providing advice with respect to portfolio allocations in the Contract.  Please be certain to review Your registered investment advisor’s Form ADV Part 2A and 2B carefully for disclosure about their compensation and conflicts of interest in connection with the Contracts.   Also note that Your investment advisor could also be the broker-dealer, or a registered representative of the broker-dealer, who sold You the Contract; in that case, they would also receive commissions and other compensation for selling You the Contract, in addition to any investment advisory fees that You pay to Your registered investment advisor (either directly or through partial withdrawals  of Your accumulation value in the Contract).  

 

We intend to recoup commissions and other sales expenses indirectly through the following fees and charges deducted under the Contract: (a) the mortality and expense risks charge; (b) asset based administration charges, and (c) payments, if any, received from the investment options, their distributors, service providers and/or managers.  Commissions and other incentives or payments described above are not charged directly to You or the Separate Account but they are reflected in the fees and charges that You do pay directly or indirectly.


 

 

Regulation

 

We are regulated and supervised by the Iowa Insurance Department.  We are subject to the insurance laws and regulations in every jurisdiction where We sell insurance and annuity contracts.  The provisions of this Contract may vary somewhat from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

 

We submit annual reports on Our operations and finances to insurance officials in all the jurisdictions where We sell insurance and annuity contracts.  The officials are responsible for reviewing Our reports to be sure that We are financially sound and are complying with the applicable laws and regulations.  We are also subject to various federal securities laws and regulations.

 

Cybersecurity Risks

 

We rely heavily on interconnected computer systems and digital data to conduct our variable product business activities.  Because Our variable product business is highly dependent upon the effective operation of Our computer systems and those of Our business partners, Our business is potentially vulnerable to disruptions from utility outages and other problems, and susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from information systems failure (e.g., hardware and software malfunctions) and cyberattacks.  These risks include, among other things, the theft, misuse, corruption and destruction of data maintained online or digitally, interference with or denial of service, attacks on websites and other operational disruption, and unauthorized release of confidential customer information.  Such systems failures and cyberattacks affecting Us, Sammons Financial Network, LLC, the underlying portfolios, intermediaries and other affiliated or third-party service providers may adversely affect Us and Your accumulation value.  For instance, cyberattacks may:  interfere with Our processing of Contract transactions, including the processing internet transactions or with the underlying portfolios; 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.  Cybersecurity risks may also impact the issuers of securities in which the underlying portfolios invest, which may cause the funds underlying Your Contract to lose value. There can be no assurance that We or the underlying portfolios or Our service providers will avoid losses affecting Your Contract due to cyberattacks or information security breaches in the future.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

Midland National Life Insurance Company and its subsidiaries, like other life insurance companies, may be involved in lawsuits, including class action lawsuits.  In some class action and other lawsuits involving insurers, substantial damages have been sought and/or material settlement payments have been made.  Although the outcome of any litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, Midland National Life Insurance Company believes that, as of the date of this prospectus, there are no pending or threatened lawsuits that will have a materially adverse impact on the Separate Account, on the ability of Sammons Financial Network, LLC to perform under its distribution agreement, or on the ability of the Company to meet its obligations under the Contract.

 

Legal Matters

 

The law firm of Eversheds-Sutherland (US) LLP, Washington, DC, has provided certain legal advice relating to certain matters under the federal securities laws.

The financial statements of Midland National Life Separate Account C and Midland National Life Insurance Company, included in the SAI, have been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, for the periods indicated in their report which appears in the SAI.  The address for PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is 699 Walnut Street, Suite 1300, Des Moines, IA 50309.

 

The financial statements audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP have been included in reliance on their reports given upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.

APPENDIX A – SEPARATE ACCOUNT INVESTMENT OPTIONS

 

The Separate Account has a number of investment options, each of which invests in the shares of a corresponding portfolio. More detailed information about the portfolios and their investment objectives, policies, risks, expenses and other aspects of their operations appear in the portfolio prospectuses.

 

Certain portfolios may invest substantially all of their assets in other mutual funds.  As a result, You will pay fees and expenses at both portfolio levels.  This will reduce Your investment return.  These arrangements are referred to as "funds of funds" or "master-feeder funds."  Funds of funds or master-feeder structures may have higher expenses than portfolios that invest directly in debt or equity securities.

 

Certain portfolios invest in positions that emphasize alternative investment strategies and/or nontraditional asset classes. Alternative investment strategies may be riskier than traditional investment strategies and may involve leverage or use various complex hedging techniques, like options and derivatives. These alternative investments create a mix of strategies that offers potential diversification benefits beyond traditional investment strategies.

Certain portfolios may employ volatility management strategies to provide for downside protection during sharp downward movements in equity markets.  The cost of these hedging strategies could limit the upside participation of the portfolio in rising equity markets relative to other portfolios.  There is no guarantee that a portfolio using a volatility management strategy can achieve or maintain its optimal risk targets, and the portfolio may not perform as expected.

 

You should consult with Your registered representative to determine which combination of investment choices is appropriate for You.

 

Investment Policies of the Portfolios

 

Each portfolio tries to achieve a specified investment objective by following certain investment policies.  No one can promise that any portfolio will meet its investment objective.  A portfolio’s objectives and policies affect its returns and risks.  Each investment option’s performance depends on the experience of the corresponding portfolio.  You bear the risk that the underlying portfolios You have allocated amounts to will not meet their investment objectives.  The objectives of the portfolios are as follows:

If You had money invested in this Investment Option as of the close of business on Wednesday, July 31, 2014, You may continue to make additional investments into the portfolio.  However, if You redeem or transfer completely out of this Investment Option after this date, You will not be able to reinvest in the portfolio.

5Name change effective May 31, 2017.

 

The portfolios may make a material change in their investment policies.  In that case, We will send You notice of the change.  Within 60 days after You receive the notice, or within 60 days after the effective date of the change, if later, You may transfer any amount that You have in that investment option to another investment option.  (See “Transfers of Accumulation Value” on page 21).

 

The portfolios sell their shares to Separate Accounts of various insurance companies to support both variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts, and to qualified retirement plans.  We currently do not foresee any disadvantages to Our Contract owners arising from this use of the portfolios for this type of mixed and shared funding.  The funds companies will monitor for possible conflicts arising out of this practice.  If any such conflict or disadvantage does arise, We and/or the applicable fund companies may take appropriate action to protect Your interests.

 


 

The portfolios available under the Contracts are not available for purchase directly by the general public, and are not the same as the mutual funds with very similar or nearly identical names that are sold directly to the public. However, the investment objectives and policies of the portfolios are very similar to the investment objectives and policies of other (publicly available) mutual funds that have very similar or nearly identical names and that are or may be managed by the same investment adviser or manager.  Nevertheless, the investment performance and results of any of the portfolios that are available under the Contracts may be lower, or higher, than the investment results of such other (publicly available) mutual funds.  There can be no assurance, and no representation is made, that the investment results of any of the available portfolios will be comparable to the investment results of any other portfolio or mutual fund, even if the other portfolio or mutual fund has the same investment adviser or manager and the same investment objectives and policies and a very similar or nearly identical name.

 

The portfolios offered through the Contract are selected by Midland National based on several criteria, including asset class coverage, the alignment of investment objectives of a portfolio with Our hedging strategy, the strength of the manager’s reputation and tenure, brand recognition, performance, and the capability and qualification of each sponsoring investment firm. Of course, We also consider whether the portfolio’s adviser is an affiliate of ours. We also consider whether the portfolio, its adviser, sub-adviser, or distributor (or an affiliate) can provide marketing and distribution support for the sale of the policies. Another factor that We consider during the selection process is whether the portfolio or one of its service providers (e.g., the investment adviser or sub-advisers) will make payments to Us or Our affiliates in connection with certain administrative, marketing and support services, and the amount of any such payments, or whether affiliates of the funds can provide marketing and distribution support for sales of the Contracts. 

 

You are responsible for choosing the investment options, and the amounts allocated to each, that are appropriate for Your own individual circumstances and by Your investment goals, financial situation, and risk tolerance. Since investment risk is borne by You decisions regarding investment allocations should be carefully considered and periodically re-evaluated.

 

Other portfolios (or available classes) may have lower fees and better overall investment performance.

 

In making Your investment selections, We encourage You to thoroughly investigate all of the information regarding the portfolios that are available to You, including each portfolio’s prospectus, statement of additional information and annual and semi-annual reports. Other sources such as the fund company’s website or newspapers and financial and other magazines provide more current information, including information about any regulatory actions or investigations relating to a portfolio. You should monitor and periodically re-evaluate Your allocations to determine if they are still appropriate.

 

You bear the entire risk for the allocation of Your premiums and accumulation value among the investment options whether or not You use the service of an adviser.  We are not responsible for any investment or other advice or services that You may receive.

 

You bear the risk of any decline in the accumulation value of Your Contract resulting from the performance of the investment options You have chosen.

 

We do not recommend or endorse any particular portfolio or portfolios and We do not provide investment advice.

 

Availability of the Portfolios

We cannot guarantee that each portfolio will always be available for investment through the Contracts.

 

We reserve the right, subject to applicable law, to make additions to, deletions from, or substitutions for the shares of a portfolio that are held in the Separate Account. New or substitute portfolios may have different fees and expenses and their availability may be limited to certain classes of purchasers. If the shares of a portfolio are no longer available for investment or if, in Our judgment, further investment in any portfolio should become inappropriate, We may redeem the shares of that portfolio and substitute shares of another portfolio. We will not substitute any shares without notice and prior approval of the SEC and state insurance authorities, to the extent required by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or other applicable law.


 

 

APPENDIX B – STATE VARIATIONS

 

Certain contract features described in this Prospectus may vary or may not be available in Your state. The state in which Your Contract is issued governs whether or not certain features, riders, charges or fees are available or will vary under Your Contract. These variations are reflected in Your Contract and in riders or endorsements to Your Contract.

 

This Appendix B contains an overview of state specific variations.

 

For Contracts issued in the state of Arizona, the following variations apply:

 

On written request We are required to provide within reasonable time, reasonable factual information regarding the benefits and provisions of Your annuity.

 

If for any reason You are not satisfied with the annuity, You may return the annuity within 10 days or within 30 days if You are 65 years of age or older on the date of the application and receive a refund of the full Accumulation Value plus any fees or charges deducted from the Contract as of the date the returned Contract is received by the insurer or its insurance producer, or if greater and required by state law, premiums paid as of the date the returned Contract is received by the insured or insurance producer.

 

For Contracts issued in the state of California, the following variations apply:

 

For Owners in the state of California 60 years or older – the Free Look period is a 30-day period beginning on the day You receive Your Contact. Your money will be placed in a fixed account or money market fund, unless You direct that premium to be invested in an underlying stock or bond fund portfolio during that 30-day period. If You do not direct that premium be invested in a stock or bond portfolio and You return the Contract within the 30-day period, You will be entitled to a refund of the premium and Contract fees. If You do direct that the premium be invested in a stock or bond portfolio during the 30-day period and You return the Contract during that period, You will be entitled to a refund of the Contract’s account value on the day the Contract is received by the insurance company or agent who sold You this Contract which could be less that the premium You paid for the Contract, plus any Contract fee paid. A return of the Contract after 30 days may result in a substantial penalty, known as a surrender charge, if You elect the Optional Value Endorsement.

 

For Contracts issued in the state of Connecticut, the following variations apply:

 

During the right to examine period if cancellation is made prior to delivery of the Contract We will refund all premiums paid. 

 

Also, We currently define excessive/frequent trading as:  (a) two or more “round trips” involving the same investment option within a 60-calendar day period; or (b) six or more “round trips” involving the same investment option within a twelve month period.  “Round trip” means more than one purchase and sale of the same investment option within a 60-calendar day period. We reserve the right to revise Our market timing procedures as We deem necessary or appropriate to more effectively detect and prevent market timing. Any exercise of Our right to delay, restrict or reject trading activity will be applied equally and in a non-discriminatory manner to all Contract owners.

 

For Contracts issued in the state of Florida, the following variations apply:

 

The cover page of the Contract contains a clear statement that death benefit and accumulation values will reflect the investment experience of Our separate account, which may cause them to increase or decrease and are not guaranteed as to the fixed dollar amount.  To obtain additional Contract information and/or to receive assistance in resolving complaints, Our 800 number is listed in a bold face type. We have omitted the right to limit investment options in which premiums are invested.

 


 

 

For Contracts issued in the state of Illinois, the following variations apply:

 

The cover page of the Contract includes contact information to contact Us or the Illinois Department of Insurance should You have any complaints arise regarding Your annuity.

Public Service Section

For Contracts issued in the state of Montana, the following variations apply:

 

Death proceeds will be paid within 60 days of receiving due proof of the Owner’s death. If payment is made after the first 30 days, We agree to pay interest on the death proceeds from the 30th day until the date of payment. The interest will be at an annual interest rate determined by Us not to be less than the rate required by the state of Montana.

 

Gender will not play a role in determining payout rates; any reference to gender has been removed. 

 

The provisions of this Contract conform to the minimum requirements of Montana law and control over any conflicting statutes of any state in which You live on or after the Contract Effective Date.

 

 


 

 

APPENDIX C – CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The following tables of condensed financial information show accumulation unit values for each investment option for the period since the investment option started operation.  An accumulation unit value is the unit We use to calculate the value of Your interest in a subaccount.  The tables below show two sets of accumulation unit values that reflect the current level of Separate Account annual expenses available under the Contract. One set of tables reflects the lowest Annual Asset Charge of 1.15% (for the 7-Year Optional Value Endorsement) and the other set reflects the highest Annual Asset Charge of 1.35% (for the base contract with no endorsement). Tables reflecting the other Annual Asset Charges are not yet available but will be included in the SAI in future years.

THE CONTRACT

 

Entire Contract

 

The entire contract between You and Us consists of the contract, the attached written application and any attached endorsements, riders, and amendments.

 

Changes to the Contract

 

No one has the right to change any part of the contract or to waive any of its provisions unless the change is approved in writing by one of Our officers. Only our President or Secretary may modify the contract.

 

We may change the contract without Your consent to conform to state or federal laws or regulations.  A change will be made by attaching an endorsement to the contract.

 

Incontestability

 

We will not contest the contract.

 

Misstatement of Age or Sex

 

If the age or sex of the annuitant has been misstated, We will adjust the amount of each annuity payment to whatever the applied value would have purchased at the correct age and sex.

 

Any underpayments made by Us will be paid to the payee.  Any overpayments made by Us will be charged against benefits falling due after adjustment.  All underpayments and overpayments will include interest at the rate required by the jurisdiction in which the contract is delivered.

 

Non-participating

 

The contract does not participate in the surplus or profits of the Company and the Company does not pay any dividends on it.

 

Claims of Creditors

 

To the extent permitted by law, no benefits payable under the contract to a beneficiary or payee are subject to the claims of creditors.

 

Minimum Benefits

 

The annuity payments, surrender values and death benefit under the contract are not less than the minimum required by the laws of the state in which the contract is delivered.

 


 

Ownership

 

The contract belongs to You.  You have all rights granted by the contract, including the right to change owners and beneficiaries, subject to the rights of:

1)      Any assignee of record with Us;

2)      Any irrevocable beneficiary; and

3)      Any restricted ownership.

 

We must receive written notice informing Us of any change, designation or revocation.  Once recorded, a change, designation or revocation takes effect as of the date the written notice was signed.  However, We are not liable for payments made by Us before We record the written notice.    A change of owner may have adverse tax consequences.

 

Assignment

 

An assignment may have adverse tax consequences.

 

You may assign the contract by giving Us written notice.  The assignment does not take effect until We accept and approve it.  We reserve the right, except to the extent prohibited by applicable laws, regulations, or actions of the State insurance commissioner, to refuse assignments or transfers at any time on a non-discriminatory basis. We will not be responsible for the validity of any assignment. We will not be liable for any payments We make prior to recording the written notice of assignment.

 

This contract, or any of its riders, is not designed for resale, speculation, arbitrage, viatical settlements or any other type of collective investment scheme.  This contract may not be traded on any stock exchange or secondary market.

 

Accumulation Unit Value

 

We determine accumulation unit values for each investment option of Our Separate Account at the end of each valuation period. The accumulation unit value for each investment division was initially set at $10.00.  The accumulation unit value for any business day is equal to the accumulation unit value for the preceding business day multiplied by the net investment factor for that division on that business day.

 

We determine the net investment factor for each investment option every valuation period by taking a) divided by b) minus c) where:

a)      Is the total of:

1)        The net asset value per share at the end of the current Valuation Period; plus

2)        Any dividend or capital gains per share reinvested during the current Valuation Period; plus

3)        Total accrued, but not yet reinvested, capital gains per share as of the current Valuation Period.

b)     Is the net asset value plus the total accrued but not yet reinvested capital gains per share as of the preceding Valuation Period.


 

c)     Is the Mortality and Expense Charge plus the Administration Fee for each day in the current Valuation Period.

 

We reserve the right to subtract any other daily charge for taxes or amounts set aside as a reserve for taxes. Generally, this means that We would adjust unit values to reflect what happens to the portfolios, and also for any charges.

 

Annuity Payments

 

The amount of each fixed annuity payment will be set on the Maturity Date and will not subsequently be affected by the investment performance of the investment options.

 

 

CALCULATION OF YIELDS AND TOTAL RETURNS

 

Money Market Investment Option Yield Calculation

 

In accordance with regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Midland National is required to compute the Fidelity VIP Government Money Market Fund  investment option (called “the money market investment option” for the purpose of this section) current annualized yield for a seven-day period in a manner which does not take into consideration any realized or unrealized gains or losses on shares of the money market investment option or on their respective portfolio securities. This current annualized yield is computed for each money market investment option by determining the net change (exclusive of realized gains and losses on the sale of securities and unrealized appreciation and depreciation and income other than investment income) in the value of a hypothetical account having a balance of one unit of the money market investment option at the beginning of such seven-day period, dividing such net change in account value by the value of the account at the beginning of the period to determine the base period return and annualizing this quotient on a 365-day basis. The net change in account value reflects the deductions for the annual maintenance fee, the mortality and expense risk charge, administration charge, and income and expenses accrued during the period. Because of these deductions, the yield for the money market investment option of the Separate Account will be lower than the yield for the respective money market investment option or any comparable substitute funding vehicle.

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission also permits Midland National to disclose the effective yield of the money market investment option for the same seven-day period, determined on a compounded basis. The effective yield is calculated by compounding the unannualized base period return by adding one to the base period return, raising the sum to a power equal to 365 divided by 7, and subtracting one from the result.

 

The yield on amounts held in the money market investment option normally will fluctuate on a daily basis. Therefore, the disclosed yield for any given past period is not an indication or representation of future yields or rates of return. The money market investment option’s actual yield is affected by changes in interest rates on money market securities, average portfolio maturity of the money market investment option or substitute funding vehicle, the types and quality of portfolio securities held by the money market investment option or substitute funding vehicle, and operating expenses. In addition, the yield figures are for the base contract only with no rider charges and do not reflect the effect of any surrender charge that may be applicable to a particular contract.


 

 

Other Investment Option Yield Calculations

 

Midland National may from time to time disclose the current annualized yield of one or more of the investment options (except the money market investment option) for 30-day periods. The annualized yield of an investment option refers to income generated by the investment option over a specified 30-day period. Because the yield is annualized, the yield generated by an investment option during the 30-day period is assumed to be generated each 30-day period. This yield is computed by dividing the net investment income per accumulation unit earned during the period by the price per unit on the last day of the period, according to the following formula:

 

YIELD = 2 [ (a – b + 1)6 – 1 ]

     cd

Where:  a =   net investment income earned during the period by the portfolio (or substitute funding vehicle) attributable to shares owned by the investment option.

              b =  expenses accrued for the period (net of reimbursements).

              c =   the average daily number of units outstanding during the period.

              d =  the maximum offering price per unit on the last day of the period.

 

Net investment income will be determined in accordance with rules established by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accrued expenses will include all recurring fees that are charged to all owner accounts.

 

Because of the charges and deductions imposed by the Separate Account the yield of the investment option will be lower than the yield for the corresponding portfolio. The yield on amounts held in the investment options normally will fluctuate over time. Therefore, the disclosed yield for any given past period is not an indication or representation of future yields or rates of return. The investment option’s actual yield will be affected by the types and quality of portfolio securities held by the portfolio, and its operating expenses.

 

Standard Total Return Calculations

 

Midland National may from time to time also disclose average annual total returns for one or more of the investment options for various periods of time. Average annual total return quotations are computed by finding the average annual compounded rates of return over one, five and ten year periods that would equate the initial amount invested to the ending redeemable value, according to the following formula:

 

P (1 + T)n = ERV

Where:       P =        a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000

                   T =        average annual total return

                   n =        number of years


 

      ERV =  ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000 payment made at the beginning of the one, five, or ten-year period, at the end of the one, five, or ten-year period (or fractional portion thereof).

 

All recurring fees that are charged to all owner accounts are recognized in the ending redeemable value. This includes a contract charges factor that is calculated by taking the daily Separate Account asset charge and adding an additional amount that adjusts for the current $40  maintenance fee. This additional amount is based on an “average” Contract with an initial premium of $100,000 so it is calculated as $40, or 0.04%, annually. The standard average annual total return calculations assume the contract is surrendered.

 

Midland National may disclose average annual total returns in various ways, depicting whether the contract is surrendered or maintained in force.  Accordingly, Midland National may disclose the following types of average annual total return:

1.      The contract is surrendered and

2.      The contract is not surrendered.

 

Cumulative Total Returns

 

Midland National may from time to time also disclose cumulative total returns in conjunction with the annual returns described above. The cumulative returns will be calculated using the following formula.

 

CTR = [ERV/P] – 1

Where:     CTR = the cumulative total return net of investment option recurring charges for the period.

ERV = ending redeemable value of an assumed $1,000 payment at the beginning of the one, five, or ten-year period at the end of the one, five, or ten-year period (or fractional portion thereof).

                 P      =  an assumed initial payment of $1,000.

 

Midland National may also disclose the value of an assumed payment of $10,000 (or other amounts) at the end of various periods of time.

 

Adjusted Historical Performance Data

 

Midland National may also disclose adjusted historical performance data for an investment option for periods before the investment option commenced operations, based on the assumption that the investment option was in existence before it actually was, and that the investment option had been invested in a particular portfolio that was in existence prior to the investment option’s commencement of operations. The portfolio used for these calculations will be the actual portfolio that the investment option will invest in.

 

Adjusted historical performance data of this type will be calculated as follows. First, the value of an assumed $1,000 investment in the applicable portfolio is calculated on a monthly basis by comparing the net asset value per share at the beginning of the month with the net asset value per share at the end of the month (adjusted for any dividend distributions during the month), and the resulting ratio is applied to the value of the investment at the beginning of the month to get the gross value of the investment at the end of the month. Second, that gross value is then reduced by a “contract charges” factor to reflect the charges imposed under the contract. The contract charges factor is calculated by taking the daily Separate Account asset charge and adding an additional amount that adjusts for the current $40 maintenance fee. This additional amount is based on an  average accumulation value of $20,000 so it is calculated as $40, or 0.20% annually. The total is then divided by 12 to get the monthly contract charges factor, which is then applied to the value of the hypothetical initial payment in the applicable portfolio to get the value in the investment option. The contract charges factor is assumed to be deducted at the beginning of each month. In this manner, the Ending Redeemable Value (“ERV”) of a hypothetical $1,000 initial payment in the investment option is calculated each month during the applicable period, to get the ERV at the end of the period. Third, that ERV is then utilized in the formulas above.


 

 

This type of performance data may be disclosed on both an average annual total return and a cumulative total return basis.  Moreover, it may be disclosed assuming that the contract is not surrendered (i.e., with no deduction for the contingent deferred sales charge) and assuming that the contract is surrendered at the end of the applicable period (i.e., reflecting a deduction for any applicable contingent deferred sales charge).

 

 

FEDERAL TAX MATTERS

 

Tax-Free Exchanges (Section 1035)

 

Midland National accepts premiums which are the proceeds of a contract in a transaction qualifying for a tax-free exchange under Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”).

 

We also accept “rollovers” from contracts qualifying as individual retirement annuities or accounts (IRAs), or any other qualified contract which is eligible to “rollover” into an IRA. The Company differentiates between nonqualified contracts and IRAs to the extent necessary to comply with federal tax laws. In all events, a tax adviser should be consulted with and relied upon before you effect an exchange or a rollover.

 

Required Distributions

 

In order to be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes, section 72(s) of the Code requires any nonqualified contract to provide that (a) if any owner dies on or after the annuity date but prior to the time the entire interest in the contract has been distributed, the remaining portion of such interest will be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used as of the date of that owner’s death; and (b) if any owner dies prior to the annuity starting date, the entire interest in the contract will be distributed (1) within five years after the date of that owner’s death, or (2) as Annuity payments which will begin within one year of that owner’s death and which will be made over the life of the owner’s “designated beneficiary” or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of that beneficiary. The owner’s “designated beneficiary” is the person to whom ownership of the contract passes by reason of death and must be a natural person. However, if the owner’s designated beneficiary is the surviving spouse of the owner, the contract may be continued with the surviving spouse as the new owner.


 

 

The nonqualified contracts contain provisions which are intended to comply with the requirements of section 72(s) of the Code, although no regulations interpreting these requirements have yet been issued. We intend to review such provisions and modify them if necessary to assure that they comply with the requirements of Code section 72(s) when clarified by regulation or otherwise.

 

Other rules may apply to qualified contracts.

 

Non-Natural Person owners

 

If a non-natural person (e.g., a corporation or a trust) owns a nonqualified contract, the taxpayer generally must include in income any increase in the excess of the account value over the investment in the contract (generally, the premiums or other consideration paid for the contract) during the taxable year.

 

There are some exceptions to this rule and a prospective owner that is not a natural person should discuss these with a tax adviser. 

 

The tax discussion in the prospectus and herein generally applies to contracts owned by natural persons.

 

Diversification Requirements

 

The Code requires that the investments of each investment option of the Separate Account underlying the contracts be “adequately diversified” in order for the contracts to be treated as annuity contracts for Federal income tax purposes.  It is intended that each investment option, through the fund company in which it invests, will satisfy these diversification requirements. 

 

Owner Control

 

In some circumstances, owners of variable contracts who retain control over the investment of the underlying Separate Account assets may be treated as owners of those assets and may be subject to tax on income produced by those assets. Although published guidance in this area does not address certain aspects of the contracts, We believe that the owner of a contract should not be treated as the owner of the Separate Account assets. We reserve the right to modify the contracts to bring them into conformity with applicable standards should such modification be necessary to prevent owners of the contracts from being treated as the owners of the underlying Separate Account assets.

 

Taxation of Qualified Contracts

 

The tax rules applicable to qualified contracts vary according to the type of retirement plan and the terms and conditions of the plan. Your rights under a qualified contract may be subject to the terms of the retirement plan itself, regardless of the terms of the qualified contract.  Adverse tax consequences may result if you do not ensure that contributions, distributions and other transactions with respect to the contract comply with the law.


 

 

Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), as defined in Section 408 of the Code, permit individuals to make annual contributions of up to the lesser of specific dollar amount or the amount of compensation includible in the individual’s gross income for the year.  The contributions may be deductible in whole or in part, depending on the individual’s income.  Distributions from certain retirement plans may be “rolled over” into an IRA on a tax-deferred basis without regard to these limits.  Amounts in the IRA (other than nondeductible contributions) are taxed when distributed from the IRA.  A 10% penalty tax generally applies to distributions made before age 59½, unless certain exceptions apply.

 

Roth IRAs, as described in Code section 408A, permit certain eligible individuals to contribute to make non-deductible contributions to a Roth IRA in cash or as a rollover or transfer from another Roth IRA or other IRA.  The owner may wish to consult a tax adviser before combining any converted amounts with any other Roth IRA contributions, including any other conversion amounts from other tax years.  Distributions from a Roth IRA generally are not taxed, except that, once aggregate distributions exceed contributions to the Roth IRA, income tax and a 10% penalty tax may apply to distributions made (1) before age 59½ (subject to certain exceptions) or (2) during the five taxable years starting with the year in which the first contribution is made to any Roth IRA.  A 10% penalty tax may apply to amounts attributable to a conversion from an IRA if they are distributed during the five taxable years beginning with the year in which the conversion was made.

 

 

DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACTS

 

The contracts are offered to the public on a continuous basis.  We anticipate continuing to offer the contracts, but reserve the right to discontinue the offering.

 

Sammons Financial Network, LLC (“Sammons Financial Network”) serves as principal underwriter for the contracts.  Sammons Financial Network is a Delaware limited liability company and its principal office is located at 4546 Corporate Drive, Suite 100, West Des Moines, IA 50266.  Sammons Financial Network is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Sammons Enterprises, Inc. of Dallas, Texas, which in turn is the ultimate parent company of Midland National Life Insurance Company.  Sammons Financial Network is registered as a broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as with the securities commissions in the states in which it operates, and is a member of FINRA, Inc.  Sammons Financial Network offers the contracts through its registered representatives.  Sammons Financial Network also may enter into selling agreements with other broker-dealers (“selling firms”) and compensates them for their services.  Registered representatives, who offer contracts, are appointed as insurance agents for Midland National Life Insurance Company.

SAFEKEEPING OF ACCOUNT ASSETS

 

Title to assets of the Separate Account is held by Midland National. The assets are held separate and apart from our Fixed Account assets. Records are maintained of all premiums and redemptions of portfolio shares held by each of the investment options.

Independent Auditor's Report


       To the Board of Directors of Midland National Life Insurance Company and
       Subsidiaries:

       We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of
       Midland National Life Insurance Company and its subsidiaries (the "Company"),
       which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 and
       2015, and the related consolidated statements of income, of comprehensive
       income, of stockholder's equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in
       the period ended December 31, 2016.

       Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

       Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the
       consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles
       generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design,
       implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation
       and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from
       material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

       Auditor's Responsibility

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


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

       Opinion

       In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
       fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Midland National
       Life Insurance Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016 and 2015,
       and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three
       years in the period ended December 31, 2016 in accordance with accounting
       principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


        Organization


        Midland  National Life  Insurance  Company and  Subsidiaries  ("Midland  National"
        or the  "Company")  is a wholly  owned  subsidiary  of  Sammons  Financial  Group,
        Inc.   ("SFG").   SFG  is  an  indirect   wholly  owned   subsidiary   of  Sammons
        Enterprises,   Inc.   ("SEI").   Midland   National   has   three   wholly   owned
        subsidiaries.   MNL  Reinsurance   Company  ("MNL  Re")  and  Solberg  Reinsurance
        Company  ("Solberg  Re") are  captive  reinsurance  companies  domiciled  in Iowa.
        Midland  National  Services  Corporation,  LLC  ("MNSC")  is  a  Delaware  Limited
        Liability  Company  created as a wholly owned  subsidiary  of Midland  National to
        hold agreed  amounts for  payment of facility  fees and other  amounts due under a
        credit  facility  agreement  that governs a letter of credit  arrangement  between
        several  SFG  entities  and a  large  commercial  bank.  Midland  National  offers
        individual  life and annuity  products in 49 states and the  District of Columbia.
        The  Company  is  affiliated   through   common   ownership  with  North  American
        Company for Life and Health Insurance ("North American").


        Basis of presentation


        The  consolidated  financial  statements  have been  prepared in  conformity  with
        accounting   principles  generally  accepted  in  the  United  States  of  America
        ("GAAP")  and  reflect the  consolidation  of the  Company  with its wholly  owned
        subsidiaries  and  all  entities  for  which  it  holds  a  controlling  financial
        interest.  Intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


        The Company has a financial  interest in several  entities where it is required to
        determine  whether the entity should be  consolidated  in the Company's  financial
        statements.  For each  financial  interest,  the  Company  performs an analysis to
        determine  whether it has a controlling  financial  interest in an entity by first
        evaluating  whether the entity is a voting interest entity or a variable  interest
        entity ("VIE").  The analysis requires the evaluation of several  characteristics,
        including the  determination of whether an entity has sufficient equity at risk to
        allow it to adequately  finance its activities,  the  determination of whether the
        party with the power to direct the activities of the entity has equity  investment
        at risk in the  entity,  and  whether  the  equity  investment  at risk  lacks the
        obligation to absorb  expected  losses or the right to receive  expected  residual
        returns.


        Voting  interest  entities are entities in which the total  equity  investment  at
        risk is  sufficient to enable the entity to finance its  activities  independently
        and the equity holders have the obligation to absorb losses,  the right to receive
        residual returns,  and the right to make decisions about the entity's  activities.
        The  usual  condition  for  a  controlling  financial  interest  in an  entity  is
        ownership of a majority voting  interest.  Accordingly,  the Company  consolidates
        voting interest entities in which it has a majority voting interest.


        If an entity is  determined  to be a VIE, the next step is the  identification  of
        the  primary  beneficiary  of the VIE. An  enterprise  is deemed to be the primary
        beneficiary  of a VIE if it has both (i) the power to direct the activities of the
        entity that most significantly  impact the VIE's economic success and (ii) has the
        obligation  to  absorb  losses or  receive  benefits  that  could  potentially  be
        significant  to the  VIE,  or  both.  The  Company  determines  whether  it is the
        primary   beneficiary  of  a  VIE  by  performing  an  analysis  that  principally
        considers:  (i) the VIE's  purpose  and  design,  including  the risks the VIE was
        designed to create and pass through to its  variable  interest  holders,  (ii) the
        VIE's  capital  structure,  (iii)  the  terms  between  the VIE  and its  variable
        interest  holders and other parties  involved  with the VIE,  (iv) which  variable
        interest  holders  have the power to direct  the  activities  of the VIE that most
        significantly impact the VIE's economic  performance,  (v) which variable interest
        holders  have the  obligation  to absorb  losses or the right to receive  benefits
        from the VIE that could  potentially  be  significant  to the VIE and (vi) related
        party  relationships.  The party that is the primary beneficiary  consolidates the
        financial   results  of  the  VIE.  The  Company  will   continue  to  assess  its
        investments  on  an  ongoing  basis  as   circumstances   may  change  whereby  an
        entity  could be  determined  to be a VIE.  The  Company  could  become a  primary
        beneficiary in such a VIE, or an entity's  characteristics could change whereby it
        is  no  longer  a  VIE.  All  of  these  situations   could   potentially  have  a
        corresponding  impact  on  the  Company's   consolidated   financial   statements.
        When the Company does not have a controlling  financial  interest in an entity but
        exerts  significant  influence over the entity's  operating and financial policies
        (generally  defined  as  owning  a  voting  interest  of 20% to  50%)  and  has an
        investment   in  common  stock  or   in-substance   common   stock,   the  Company
        primarily  accounts for its investment using the equity method of accounting.  For
        certain  limited  partnerships,  the threshold for the equity method of accounting
        is 5%.


        See Note 7 for  further  discussion  related  to the  Company's  involvement  with
        VIEs.


        Use of estimates


        The  preparation  of  financial   statements  in  conformity  with  GAAP  requires
        management   to  make   estimates  and   assumptions   that  affect  the  reported
        amount  of  assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of  contingent  assets  and
        liabilities at the date of the financial  statements  and the reported  amounts of
        revenues and expenses  during the reporting  period.  Actual  results could differ
        significantly from those estimates.


        The  most  significant  areas  which  require  the use of  management's  estimates
        relate  to  the   determination  of  the  fair  values  of  financial  assets  and
        liabilities,  derivatives  and derivative  instruments,  impairment of securities,
        income taxes,  deferred policy acquisition costs ("DAC"),  present value of future
        profits of acquired  businesses  ("PVFP"),  deferred  sales  inducements  ("DSI"),
        reinsurance receivables and policy benefit reserves.


        Interest rate risk

        The  Company  is  subject to the risk that  interest  rates will  change and cause
        changes   in   investment   prepayments   and   changes   in  the   value  of  its
        investments.  Policyholder  persistency  is also  affected  by changes in interest
        rates.  The Company  manages its interest  rate risk by  monitoring  its asset and
        liability  durations  within a predetermined  range. It will mitigate this risk by
        rebalancing  assets  when  it  approaches  the  boundaries  of the  pre-determined
        range.  To the extent that  fluctuations  in  interest  rates cause the cash flows
        and  duration  of  assets  and   liabilities   to  differ  from  product   pricing
        assumptions,  the  Company  may have to sell assets  prior to their  maturity  and
        realize a loss.



        Liquidity risk

        Market  conditions for fixed income  securities  could be such that illiquidity in
        the markets  could make it difficult  for the Company to sell  certain  securities
        and generate cash to meet  policyholder  obligations.  Management  believes it has
        adequate liquidity in its investment  portfolio and other sources of funds to meet
        any future policyholder obligations.


        Counterparty risk

        The  Company  enters  into  derivative  and  repurchase  agreements  with  various
        financial institution  counterparties.  The Company is at risk that any particular
        counterparty will fail to fulfill its obligations  under  outstanding  agreements.
        The  Company  generally  limits  this  risk  by  selecting   counterparties   with
        long-standing  performance  records and with credit  ratings of "A" or above.  The
        amount of exposure to each  counterparty is essentially  the net replacement  cost
        or fair value for such agreements with each counterparty,  as well as any interest
        due the Company from the last interest  payment period less any collateral  posted
        by the counterparty.


        Fair value of financial assets, financial liabilities, and financial instruments

        The Company can elect an option to record at fair value certain  financial  assets
        and financial  liabilities.  The election is  irrevocable  and is made contract by
        contract.  The Company  has  elected to utilize the fair value  option for certain
        fixed maturity investments designated as hybrid instruments.


        Fair  value  estimates  are  significantly   affected  by  the  assumptions  used,
        including  discount rates and estimates of future cash flows.  Although fair value
        estimates  are  calculated  using   assumptions   that  management   believes  are
        appropriate,   changes  in  assumptions   could  cause  these  estimates  to  vary
        materially.   In  that  regard,   the  derived  fair  value  estimates  cannot  be
        substantiated  by  comparison  to  independent  markets and, in some cases,  could
        not be realized in the immediate settlement of the instruments.  Accordingly,  the
        aggregate  fair  value  amounts   presented  in  Note  3  may  not  represent  the
        underlying value to the Company.


        The Company uses the following  methods and  assumptions  in  estimating  the fair
        value of its financial instruments:


        Available-for-sale securities


        Fair value for fixed  maturity and equity  securities is obtained  primarily  from
        independent  pricing  sources,  broker  quotes and fair  value/cash  flow  models.
        Fair value is based on quoted market prices,  where available.  For securities not
        actively  traded,  fair value is estimated using values obtained from  independent
        pricing  services or broker  quotes.  When values are not  available  from pricing
        services  or  broker  quotes,  such  as  private  placements  including  corporate
        securities,  asset-backed securities,  commercial  mortgage-backed and residential
        mortgage-backed   securities,   fair  value  may  be  estimated   by   discounting
        expected  future cash flows using a current  market rate  applicable to the yield,
        credit quality and maturity of the investments.



        Mortgage loans

        Fair value for  mortgage  loans is  estimated  using a  duration-adjusted  pricing
        methodology  that  reflects  changes  in market  interest  rates and the  specific
        interest-rate  sensitivity  of each  mortgage.  Price  changes  derived  from  the
        monthly   duration-adjustments  are  applied  to  the  mortgage  portfolio.   Each
        mortgage  modeled is assigned a spread  corresponding  to its risk profile.  These
        spreads are adjusted for current  market  conditions.  Fair value is also adjusted
        by internally generated illiquidity and default factors.


        Short-term investments

        The  carrying  amounts for  short-term  investments,  which  primarily  consist of
        money  market  funds,  direct  reverse  repurchase  agreements,  certain  interest
        bearing deposits held by various  commercial banks,  certificates of deposit,  and
        fixed income securities acquired with less than one year to maturity,  approximate
        fair value due to their short-term nature.


        Derivative instruments

        Fair  value for  options is based on  internal  financial  models or  counterparty
        quoted   prices.   Variation   margin   accounts,   consisting  of  cash  balances
        applicable to open futures  contracts,  held by counterparties are reported at the
        cash balances,  which is equal to fair value.  Fair value for interest rate swaps,
        interest rate floors,  interest  rate caps,  foreign  currency  forwards and other
        derivatives  is based on  exchange  prices,  broker  quoted  prices or fair values
        provided by the counterparties.


        Other invested assets

        Other  invested  assets  consist  primarily of limited  partnerships.  The Company
        measures  the fair  value of  limited  partnerships  on the basis of the net asset
        value per share of the  investment  (or its  equivalent) if the net asset value of
        the investment (or its  equivalent) is calculated in a manner  consistent with the
        measurement   guidance  issued  by  the  Financial   Accounting   Standards  Board
        ("FASB") for investment companies as of the reporting entity's measurement date.


        Reinsurance receivables - embedded derivatives from reinsurance ceded

        Fair value for embedded  derivatives  related to  coinsurance  with funds withheld
        treaties  for  indexed  annuities  is  determined  based  on  fair  values  of the
        financial  instruments in the funds withheld  portfolios and on models the Company
        has developed to estimate the fair values of the liabilities ceded.


        Fair value for the embedded  derivative  related to a modified  coinsurance treaty
        for multi-year  guaranteed  annuities is based on the difference  between the fair
        value and the cost basis of the financial instruments  applicable to the Company's
        modified coinsurance agreement.



        Separate account assets

        Separate  account  assets are reported at fair value in the  consolidated  balance
        sheets based on quoted net asset values of the underlying mutual funds.


        Policyholder account balances

        Fair value for the Company's  liabilities for investment-type  insurance contracts
        is estimated using two methods.  For those contracts  without a defined  maturity,
        the fair value is  estimated  as the  amount  payable  on demand  (cash  surrender
        value).  For those contracts with known maturities,  fair value is estimated using
        discounted  cash flow  calculations  using interest rates  currently being offered
        for  similar  contracts  with  maturities  consistent  with  the  contracts  being
        valued.   The  reported   value  of  the   Company's   investment-type   insurance
        contracts   includes  the  fair  value  of  indexed  life  and  annuity   embedded
        derivatives  which are calculated using discounted cash flow valuation  techniques
        based on current interest rates adjusted to reflect credit risk and risk margin.


        Notes payable

        The fair value of the Company's  notes  payable is derived from a discounted  cash
        flow model using current market rates applicable to the yield,  credit quality and
        maturity of the notes.

        Repurchase   agreements,   other   borrowings   and   collateral   on   derivative
        instruments

        The fair value of the  Company's  repurchase  agreements is tied to the fair value
        of the  underlying  collateral  securities.  The fair  value  of other  borrowings
        which  consists  of  borrowings  from the  Federal  Home Loan  Bank of Des  Moines
        ("FHLB"),  approximates  its reported  value due to its short  maturity.  The fair
        value of collateral on derivative instruments  approximates the carrying value due
        to the short-term nature of the investment.  These  investments  primarily consist
        of cash and fixed income securities.


        Investments and investment income


        Available-for-sale securities

        The  Company is required to classify  its fixed  maturity  investments  (bonds and
        redeemable    preferred    stocks)    and   equity    securities    (common    and
        non-redeemable  preferred  stocks)  into  three  categories:  securities  that the
        Company  has  the  positive  intent  and the  ability  to  hold  to  maturity  are
        classified as "held-to-maturity;"  securities that are held for current resale are
        classified   as  "trading   securities;"   and   securities   not   classified  as
        held-to-maturity     or    as    trading     securities    are    classified    as
        "available-for-sale."  Investments  classified  as trading  or  available-for-sale
        are  required  to be reported at fair value in the  consolidated  balance  sheets.
        The Company currently has no securities classified as held-to-maturity or trading.

        Available-for-sale  securities are  classified as such if not  considered  trading
        securities  or if  there  is not the  positive  intent  and  ability  to hold  the
        securities  to  maturity.  Such  securities  are  carried  at fair  value with the
        unrealized  holding  gains  (losses)  and  non-credit  related  impairment  losses
        included  as a  component  of other  comprehensive  income  (loss)  ("OCI") in the
        consolidated   statements  of  comprehensive   income.  OCI  is  reported  net  of
        related   adjustments  to  intangibles   (primarily  DAC,  DSI,  unearned  revenue
        liability and future policy benefits),  deferred income taxes, and the accumulated
        unrealized  holding  gains  (losses) on  securities  sold which are released  into
        income as realized investment gains (losses).

        For   collateralized    mortgage    obligations   ("CMOs")   and   mortgage-backed
        securities,  the  Company  recognizes  income  using a  constant  effective  yield
        based  on  anticipated   prepayments  and  the  estimated  economic  life  of  the
        securities.  When actual  prepayments  differ from  anticipated  prepayments,  the
        effective   yield  is   recalculated  to  reflect  actual  payments  to  date  and
        anticipated  future  payments.  The net  investment in the security is adjusted to
        the amount  that would  have  existed  had the new  effective  yield been  applied
        since  the  acquisition  of the  security.  This  adjustment  is  included  in net
        investment  income.  Included  in this  category  is  approximately  $178,756  and
        $168,153 of  mortgage-backed  securities that are all or partially  collateralized
        by  sub-prime   mortgages  at  December  31,  2016  and  2015,   respectively.   A
        sub-prime  mortgage  is defined as a  mortgage  with one or more of the  following
        attributes:  weak credit score,  high  debt-to-income  ratio,  high  loan-to-value
        ratio  or  undocumented  income.  At  December  31,  2016 and  2015,  99% and 98%,
        respectively  of the Company's  securities  with sub-prime  exposure were rated as
        investment grade.


        Mortgage loans


        Mortgage loans consist  principally  of commercial  mortgage loans and are carried
        at the  adjusted  unpaid  balances.  The  Company's  lending  policies  allow  for
        primarily  first-lien  mortgages  that  generally  do not  exceed  75% of the fair
        market value of the property  allowing for sufficient  excess collateral to absorb
        losses  should the Company be required to  foreclose  and take  possession  of the
        collateral.  The  mortgage  portfolio  invests  primarily  in larger  metropolitan
        areas  across  the U.S.  and is  diversified  by type of  property.  Property  and
        casualty  insurance  is required on all  properties  covered by mortgage  loans at
        least  equal to the  excess  of the loan  over the  maximum  loan  which  would be
        permitted  by  law  on  the  land  without  the  buildings.   Interest  income  on
        non-performing loans is generally recognized on a cash basis.


        Policy loans


        Policy loans are carried at unpaid principal  balances,  which are approximates of
        fair value.


        Short-term investments


        Short-term  investments  primarily  consist of money market funds,  direct reverse
        repurchase   agreements,   certain  interest  bearing  deposits  held  by  various
        commercial banks, certificates of deposit, and fixed income securities,  stated at
        amortized cost, acquired with less than one year to maturity.


        Derivative instruments


        Derivative  instruments  consist  of  options,   futures,  interest  rate  floors,
        interest  rate  caps,   foreign   currency   forwards  and  interest  rate  swaps.
        Derivative instruments are reported at fair value.


        Other invested assets


        Other invested assets are primarily comprised of limited  partnerships and certain
        investments  held by VIE's in  situations  where the Company  has been  determined
        to be the primary  beneficiary.  Limited  partnerships are recorded on the cost or
        equity  method of accounting  depending on the  respective  ownership  percentage,
        ability to control or  election  to apply fair value  accounting.  In most  cases,
        the carrying  amounts  represent  the Company's  share of the entity's  underlying
        equity reported in its balance sheet.


        Other-than-temporary impairment losses


        The  Company  reviews  its  investments  to  determine  if  declines  in value are
        other-than-temporary.  If the fair  value  of a fixed  maturity  is less  than its
        amortized  cost basis or an equity  security is less than its original  cost basis
        at the balance  sheet date,  the Company  must assess  whether the  impairment  is
        other-than-temporary.


        The  Company  evaluates  factors in its  assessment  of whether a decline in value
        is  other-than-temporary.  Some of the  factors  evaluated  include  the  issuer's
        ability  to pay  the  amounts  due  according  to  the  contractual  terms  of the
        investment.  As well as the length of time and  magnitude  by which the fair value
        is less than  amortized  cost,  adverse  conditions  specifically  related  to the
        security,  changes to the rating of the  security by a rating  agency,  changes in
        the quality of  underlying  credit  enhancements  and changes in the fair value of
        the security subsequent to the balance sheet date.


        For fixed income  securities,  when an  other-than-temporary  impairment  ("OTTI")
        has  occurred,  the amount of the  impairment  charged  against  earnings  depends
        on whether the Company  intends to sell the  security or more likely than not will
        be required to sell the security  before  recovery of its amortized cost basis. If
        the Company  intends to sell the security or more likely than not will be required
        to sell the  security  before  recovery of its  amortized  cost basis,  the entire
        impairment  is  recognized  as a charge  against  earnings.  If the  Company  does
        not  intend to sell the  security  and it is not more  likely  than not it will be
        required to sell the security  before  recovery of its amortized  cost basis,  the
        impairment  is  bifurcated  into a credit  related loss and a  non-credit  related
        loss. The credit  related loss is measured as the  difference  between the present
        value of cash flows  expected to be collected  from the debt security and the debt
        security's  amortized  cost.  The amount of the credit  related loss is recognized
        as a charge against  earnings.  The difference  between the unrealized loss on the
        impaired debt  security and the credit  related loss charged  against  earnings is
        the non-credit related loss that is recognized in OCI.


        The  Company  uses a single  best  estimate  of cash flows  approach  and uses the
        effective  yield prior to the date of impairment to calculate the present value of
        cash  flows.   The   Company's   assumptions   for   residential   mortgage-backed
        securities,    commercial   mortgage-backed    securities,    other   asset-backed
        securities  and  collateralized   debt  obligations  include  collateral  pledged,
        scheduled  interest payments,  default levels,  delinquency rates and the level of
        nonperforming  assets for the remainder of the  investments'  expected  term.  The
        Company's  assumptions for corporate and other fixed maturity  securities  include
        scheduled  interest  payments and an estimated  recovery  value,  generally  based
        on a percentage return of the current market value.


        After  an  other-than-temporary  write-down,  the  new  cost  basis  is the  prior
        amortized  cost less the credit  loss.  The adjusted  cost basis is generally  not
        adjusted for  subsequent  recoveries  in fair value.  However,  if the Company can
        reasonably  estimate  future cash flows after a write-down  and the expected  cash
        flows  indicate  some or all of the credit  related  loss will be  recovered,  the
        discount or reduced  premium  recorded is amortized over the remaining life of the
        security.  Amortization in this instance is computed using the prospective  method
        and is  determined  based on the  current  estimate  of the  amount  and timing of
        future cash flows.


        For equity securities,  an other-than  temporary  impairment has occurred when the
        Company  determines  that it does not  have  the  ability  or  intent  to hold the
        security until a recovery of the original cost or the Company  determines that the
        security  will not recover to original  cost within a  reasonable  amount of time.
        The  Company  determines  what  constitutes  a  reasonable  amount  of  time  on a
        security by security basis by  considering  all available  evidence  including the
        length of time and  magnitude by which the fair value of the security is less than
        original cost.


        During  2016,  2015  and  2014,  the  Company  recorded   $83,433,   $120,462  and
        $53,031,  respectively,  of realized losses as a result of OTTI.  These losses are
        included  in net  impairment  loss  recognized  in  earnings  in the  consolidated
        statements of income.


        Investment income


        Investment  income is recorded  when earned and includes  interest  and  dividends
        received  and  accrued,   amortization  of  purchased  premium  and  discounts  on
        securities,  certain  proceeds from  derivatives  and equity earnings from limited
        partnerships.   Dividends  are  recorded  on  the  ex-dividend  date.   Investment
        expenses are reported as a reduction in investment income.


        Net realized investment gains (losses)


        Net realized  investment  gains  (losses) are  determined on the basis of specific
        identification of the investments.


        See Note 4 for further  discussion of the  Company's  investments  and  investment
        income.


        Cash

        Cash  consists of deposits  held by various  commercial  and  custodial  banks and
        represent short term, highly liquid investments,  which are readily convertible to
        cash.  The  Company  treats  certain  accounts  held by various  commercial  banks
        and  money   market   accounts  as   short-term   investments.   The  Company  has
        deposits  with  certain  financial  institutions  which exceed  federally  insured
        limits.  The  Company  has  reviewed  the   creditworthiness  of  these  financial
        institutions and believes there is minimal risk of material loss.


        Derivatives and derivative instruments


        The Company uses  derivative  instruments  to manage its fixed  indexed and policy
        obligation  interest  guarantees and interest rate and credit risks  applicable to
        its  investments.  To mitigate these risks,  the Company enters into interest rate
        agreements,  interest  rate floors,  interest  rate caps,  futures  contracts  and
        equity  indexed  call and put  options.  To  qualify  for  hedge  accounting,  the
        Company  is  required  to  formally  document  the  hedging  relationship  at  the
        inception  of  each  derivative  transaction.   This  documentation  includes  the
        specific  derivative  instrument,  risk management  objective,  hedging  strategy,
        identification   of  the  hedged  item,   specific   risk  being  hedged  and  how
        effectiveness  will  be  assessed.  To  be  considered  an  effective  hedge,  the
        derivative  must be highly  effective in offsetting  the  variability  of the cash
        flows  or  the  changes  in  fair  value  of the  hedged  item.  Effectiveness  is
        evaluated  on a  retrospective  and  prospective  basis.  As of December 31, 2016,
        the Company had no  derivatives  that  qualify as  effective  hedges.  The Company
        also  uses  foreign   currency   forwards  to  protect  itself  against   currency
        fluctuations between trade and settlement dates on foreign financial instruments.


        Derivative  instruments are carried at fair value, with changes in derivative fair
        value  related  to  non-hedge  derivatives  reflected  as net  gains  (losses)  on
        derivatives and derivative instruments in the consolidated statements of income.


        The  Company   has  certain   reinsurance   arrangements   and  fixed   maturities
        containing embedded  derivatives due to the incorporation of credit risk exposures
        that are not clearly and closely related to the creditworthiness of the obligor.


        The  agreements  between the Company and its  derivatives  counterparties  require
        the posting of  collateral  when the market  value of the  derivative  instruments
        exceeds  the cost of the  instruments.  Under  guidelines  implemented  under  the
        Dodd-Frank  Wall  Street  Reform  and  Consumer  Protection  Act,  the  Company or
        its  counterparties  are required to post initial and variation margin  collateral
        for certain swap  derivatives  entered into on or after June 10, 2013.  Collateral
        posted by  counterparties  is reported in the consolidated  balance sheets in cash
        and fixed income securities with a corresponding  liability reported in repurchase
        agreements, other borrowings and collateral on derivative instruments.


        See Note 5 for further  discussion of the  Company's  derivatives  and  derivative
        instruments.


        Accrued investment income


        Accrued  investment  income  consists  of  amounts  due  on  invested  assets.  It
        excludes amounts the Company does not expect to receive.


        Deferred  policy  acquisition  costs  and  present  value  of  future  profits  of
        acquired businesses

        Policy  acquisition  costs  that vary  with,  and are  related  to the  successful
        acquisition  of new and renewal  insurance  contracts  are  deferred to the extent
        that such costs are deemed  recoverable  from  future  profits.  The costs  result
        directly  from and are  essential to the contract  transaction  and would not have
        been  incurred by the Company had the  contract  transaction  not  occurred.  Such
        costs include  commissions,  policy issuance,  underwriting and medical inspection
        fees.  For  traditional  insurance  policies,  such costs are  amortized  over the
        estimated  premium  paying  period of the related  policies in  proportion  to the
        ratio of the annual premium revenues to the total  anticipated  premium  revenues.
        For interest sensitive  policies,  these costs are amortized over the lives of the
        policies in relation to the present value of actual and estimated  gross  profits.
        Recoverability  of DAC is evaluated  on an annual  basis by comparing  the current
        estimate of future profits to the unamortized asset balance.


        The PVFP  represents  the portion of the  purchase  price of blocks of  businesses
        that was allocated to the future  profits  attributable  to the insurance in force
        at the dates of  acquisition.  The PVFP is amortized in relationship to the actual
        and expected  emergence of such future  profits.  Based on current  conditions and
        assumptions  as to future  events,  the Company  expects to amortize  $370,  $356,
        $378,   $380,   and  $378  of  the  existing   PVFP  over  the  next  five  years.
        Recoverability  of the PVFP is evaluated  periodically  by  comparing  the current
        estimate of future profits to the unamortized asset balance.


        See Note 9 for further discussion of the Company's DAC and PVFP.


        Deferred sales inducements


        The  Company   defers   certain  sales   inducement   costs.   Sales   inducements
        consist  of  premium  bonuses  and  bonus  interest  on  the  Company's  life  and
        annuity   products.   The  Company   accounts   and  reports  for  certain   sales
        inducements   whereby   capitalized   costs  are   reported   separately   in  the
        consolidated  balance  sheets  and  the  amortization  of  the  capitalized  sales
        inducements  is  reported as a separate  component  of  insurance  benefits in the
        consolidated statements of income in accordance with authoritative guidance.


        See Note 9 for further discussion of the Company's DSI.


        Adjustments  of  DAC,  DSI,  and  PVFP  are  made  periodically  upon  changes  to
        current  or  estimates  of  future  gross   profits  on  interest   sensitive  and
        investment-type products to be realized from a group of policies.


        To the extent that  unrealized  investment  gains or losses on  available-for-sale
        securities would result in an adjustment to the amortization  pattern of DAC, DSI,
        and PVFP had those gains or losses  actually been realized,  the  adjustments  are
        recorded  directly  to  stockholders'  equity  through  OCI  as an  offset  to the
        unrealized investment gains or losses on available-for-sale securities.


        Reinsurance receivables


        Liabilities ceded to reinsurance  companies and receivables related to obligations
        due  from  those   reinsurers   to  the  Company  are   reported  as   reinsurance
        receivables.  Funds withheld liabilities and embedded derivatives  associated with
        certain annuity  coinsurance  with funds withheld  agreements are also reported as
        reinsurance  receivables  in the  consolidated  balance  sheets.  The Company uses
        reinsurance  for risk  mitigation  on life and  annuity  products  and, in certain
        cases,  capital  relief.  The  Company  generally  reinsures  the  excess  of each
        individual  risk over $1,000 on ordinary life policies in order to spread its risk
        of loss. The Company  remains  contingently  liable for the  liabilities  ceded in
        the  event  the  reinsurers  are  unable  to  meet  their  obligations  under  the
        reinsurance  agreements.  To limit the  possibility  of such  losses,  the Company
        evaluates   the   financial   condition  of  its   reinsurers   and  monitors  its
        concentration  of credit risk.  The Company  generally  reinsures  with  companies
        rated "A" or  better by A.M.  Best.  The  Company  monitors  these  ratings  on an
        on-going  basis  as it is at risk  that a  reinsurer  may be  downgraded  after an
        agreement has been entered.


        Separate account assets and liabilities

        The  separate  accounts  held  by  the  Company  are  funds  on  which  investment
        income and gains or losses accrue  directly to certain  policyholders.  The assets
        of these  accounts  are legally  separated  and are not subject to the claims that
        may arise out of any other  business  of the  Company.  The  Company  reports  its
        separate  account  assets  at fair  value.  The  underlying  investment  risks are
        assumed by the  policyholders.  The Company  records the  related  liabilities  at
        amounts equal to the fair value of the  underlying  assets.  The Company  reflects
        these assets and  liabilities in separate  account  assets and  liabilities in the
        consolidated   balance   sheets.   The   Company   reports  the  fees  earned  for
        administrative  and policyholder  services  performed for the separate accounts as
        a component of other income in the consolidated statements of income.


        Policyholder liabilities

        Policyholder account balances


        Policyholder  account  balances for  annuity,  universal  life and other  interest
        sensitive life insurance and investment  contracts,  reported in the  consolidated
        balance   sheets   as   policyholder   account   balances   of   $41,782,958   and
        $36,381,071  at December 31, 2016 and 2015,  respectively,  are  determined  using
        the  retrospective  deposit method.  Policyholder  account balances consist of the
        policyholder   deposits  and  credited  interest  and  fixed  index  credits  less
        surrender  charges  as well as charges  for  mortality  and policy  administrative
        expenses.  Interest  crediting  rates ranged  primarily from 0.5% to 6.45% in 2016
        and 2015.  For annuity and life  contracts  with returns  linked to performance of
        an underlying  market index,  policyholder  reserves equal the combined fair value
        of the embedded derivative and the guaranteed component of the contract.


        Policy benefit reserves


        Policy benefit  reserves for traditional life insurance  policies  reported in the
        consolidated   balance  sheets  of  $1,780,044  and  $1,613,143  at  December  31,
        2016 and 2015,  respectively,  generally  are  computed  by the net level  premium
        method  based on estimated  future  investment  yield,  mortality,  morbidity  and
        withdrawals  that  were  appropriate  at the  time the  policies  were  issued  or
        acquired.  Interest  rate  assumptions  ranged  from  5.70%  to  9.00% in 2016 and
        5.75% to 9.00% in 2015.


        Included  in  the  Company's   policyholder   account  value  and  policy  benefit
        reserves are additional  reserves held for certain long duration  contracts  where
        benefit  features result in gains in early years followed by losses in later years
        as well as  additional  reserves for  annuities  with certain  guaranteed  minimum
        withdrawal or guaranteed minimum death benefits.


        Policy claims and benefits


        The liability  for policy  claims and benefits  payable  includes  provisions  for
        reported claims and estimates for claims  incurred but not reported,  based on the
        terms  of the  related  policies  and  contracts  and on prior  experience.  Claim
        liabilities  are based on  estimates  and are  subject to future  changes in claim
        severity and  frequency.  Estimates  are  periodically  reviewed  and  adjustments
        are reflected in benefits incurred in the consolidated statements of income.


        Recognition of traditional life insurance revenue and policy benefits

        Traditional  life  insurance  products  include  those  products  with  fixed  and
        guaranteed  premiums and  benefits.  Life  insurance  premiums are  recognized  as
        premium  income  when due.  Benefits  and  expenses  are  associated  with  earned
        premiums  so as to  result  in  recognition  of  profits  over  the  life  of  the
        contracts.  This  association is accomplished by means of the provision for policy
        benefit reserves and the amortization of DAC.


        Recognition   of  revenue  and  policy   benefits  for  interest   sensitive  life
        insurance products and investment contracts ("interest sensitive policies")


        Interest  sensitive  policies are issued on a periodic and single  premium  basis.
        Amounts  collected  are  credited  to  policyholder  account  balances.   Revenues
        from interest sensitive policies consist of charges assessed against  policyholder
        account balances for the cost of insurance,  policy administration,  and surrender
        charges.  Revenues  also  include  investment  income  related to the  investments
        that support the policyholder  account  balances.  Policy benefits and claims that
        are  charged  to  expense  include  benefits  incurred  in the period in excess of
        related  policyholder  account balances.  Benefits also include interest and fixed
        index amounts credited to the account balances.


        Repurchase agreements


        As  part  of  its  investment   strategy,   the  Company  enters  into  repurchase
        agreements   to   increase   the   Company's   investment   return.   The  Company
        accounts  for  these  transactions  as  secured   borrowings,   where  the  amount
        borrowed  is tied to the  fair  value  of the  underlying  collateral  securities.
        Repurchase   agreements   involve  a  sale  of  securities  and  an  agreement  to
        repurchase  the same  securities at a later date at an  agreed-upon  price.  As of
        December   31,   2016  and   2015,   there   were   $3,549,703   and   $2,876,442,
        respectively,   of  such   agreements   outstanding.   The  collateral  for  these
        agreements is reported in fixed maturities in the consolidated balance sheets.


        Income taxes


        Prior to 2014,  the Company and its  eligible  subsidiaries  filed a  consolidated
        Federal  income  tax  return  with SEI and its other  eligible  subsidiaries.  The
        policy  for  intercompany   allocation  of  Federal  income  taxes  was  that  the
        Company  computed  the  provision  for  income  taxes on a separate  return  basis
        as  if  the  Company  and  its  eligible   subsidiaries   were  filing  their  own
        consolidated  return.  The Company  made  payment to, or  received  payment  from,
        SEI in the amount it would have paid to, or received  from,  the Internal  Revenue
        Service  ("IRS")  had it  filed  a  consolidated  tax  return  with  only  its own
        subsidiaries.

        The  Company  recognized  deferred  income  tax  assets  and  liabilities  for the
        expected  future tax effects  attributable  to temporary  differences  between the
        financial  statement  and tax  return  bases of assets and  liabilities,  based on
        enacted tax rates  expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which the
        deferred  tax asset or  liability  is expected  to be  realized  or settled.   The
        effect of a change in tax laws or rates on  deferred  tax assets  and  liabilities
        was recognized in income in the period in which such change is enacted.   Deferred
        tax assets  were  reduced by a valuation  allowance  if it is more likely than not
        that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

        If applicable,  the Company's liability for income taxes would include a liability
        for  unrecognized  tax benefits,  interest and penalties which relate to tax years
        still  subject to review by the IRS or other  taxing  jurisdictions.   The Company
        recognizes tax benefits only on tax positions  where it is more likely than not to
        prevail if reviewed by the IRS or another taxing authority.

        Comprehensive income


        Comprehensive   income  for  the  Company  includes  net  income  and  OCI,  which
        includes  changes  in  pension  liability  and  post-retirement   liability,   net
        unrealized  investment  gains  (losses)  on  available-for-sale   securities,  and
        non-credit portion of OTTI losses.


        Out of period adjustments


        For the  year  ended  December  31,  2016,  the  Company  recorded  out of  period
        adjustments  that  resulted  in  decreasing  pre-tax  net income by $3,240 and net
        income  by  $2,106  and  decreasing   comprehensive  income  by  $29,233  for  the
        year ended  December 31,  2016.   These  adjustments  primarily  relate to certain
        long  duration  contracts  where benefit  features  result in gains in early years
        followed by losses in later years.  The  adjustments  are offsets to  amortization
        of DAC and DSI,  policy  product  charges  and  benefits  incurred  as a result of
        realized  and  unrealized  gains  and  losses  on  available-for-sale  investments
        allocated  to  these  long  duration  contracts.   Management  has  evaluated  the
        impact of these errors and out of period  adjustments  and concluded  they are not
        material to any previously reported or current financial statements.


2.      EFFECTS OF NEW AUTHORITATIVE GUIDANCE

        Recently adopted authoritative guidance


        Repurchase Agreements


        In  June  2014,  the  FASB  issued   guidance   requiring   enhanced   disclosures
        regarding  repurchase  agreements,  repurchase to maturity and securities  lending
        transactions.  The additional  disclosures  required  include (1) a disaggregation
        of the gross  obligation  by the class of  collateral  pledged,  (2) the remaining
        maturity  of the  repurchase  agreements,  (3) a  discussion  of  potential  risks
        associated  with the  agreements  and  collateral  pledged.  The new  guidance  is
        effective  for the  Company  beginning  January  1, 2015.  Other  than  additional
        disclosures,  the  adoption  of this  guidance  did not  have  any  impact  on the
        consolidated financial statements.



        Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs


        In April 2015,  the FASB issued  guidance  requiring  changes to the balance sheet
        presentation  of debt  issuance  costs.  The change  requires  that debt  issuance
        costs be presented in the balance  sheet as a direct  deduction  from the carrying
        amount of the related debt liability.  The new guidance became  effective  January
        1, 2016 and  retrospective  application  is required.  The guidance did not have a
        material impact on the Company's financial statements.


        Recently issued authoritative guidance


        Consolidation


        In  February  2015,  the FASB  issued  an  update  to the  consolidation  guidance
        regarding  VIEs.  The  updated  guidance   changed  the  evaluation   process  and
        criteria in determining  whether an identified VIE is required to be  consolidated
        in the  Company's  consolidated  financial  statements  and  disclosures.  The new
        guidance  was  effective  beginning  January  1, 2016.  Implementation  of the new
        guidance  did not result in any changes to the  consolidation  conclusions  on any
        VIEs.


        Disclosures  for  Investments  in Certain  Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value
        per Share


        In  May  2015,  the  FASB  issued   guidance  which  removes  the  requirement  to
        categorize  within the fair value  hierarchy all  investments for which fair value
        is  measured  using the net asset  value per share  practical  expedient.  The new
        guidance  was  effective  beginning  January 1, 2016.  The guidance did not have a
        material impact on the Company's financial statements.


        Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities


        In January 2016, the FASB issued  updated  guidance  regarding the  recognition of
        financial  assets  and   liabilities.    The  updated  guidance   requires  equity
        investments  (except  those  accounted  for under the equity  method of accounting
        or those that result in  consolidation)  to be measured at fair value with changes
        in fair  value  recognized  in net  income.   The  guidance  also  eliminates  the
        requirement to disclose fair value of financial  instruments measured at amortized
        cost as well as  requires  the  separate  presentation  of  financial  assets  and
        liabilities  by  measurement  category and form of financial  asset on the balance
        sheet.   The new  guidance  will be  effective  beginning  January  1,  2018.  The
        Company  is   currently   assessing   the  impact  of  the  new  guidance  on  its
        consolidated financial statements.


        Lease Accounting


        In February 2016,  the FASB issued  guidance that will require  recognizing  lease
        assets and  liabilities  on the balance sheet as well as enhanced  disclosures  on
        leasing  arrangements.  The  guidance  is  effective  beginning  January  1, 2019.
        The  Company  is  currently  assessing  the  impact  of the  new  guidance  on its
        consolidated financial statements.


        Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments


        In June 2016,  the FASB issued  guidance  that  changes the  impairment  model for
        loans,  available-for-sale  securities  as well as  reinsurance  receivables.  The
        model for loans and other  receivables  is moving from an  incurred  loss model to
        an expected loss model.  The  impairment  model for available for sale  securities
        is similar  to  current  GAAP,  however  credit  losses  will be  presented  as an
        allowance  that  can be  reversed  if  credit  improves.  The  new  guidance  also
        eliminates  the use of the length of time an available  for sale security has been
        in an  unrealized  loss  position in order to avoid  recording a credit loss.  The
        new  guidance  will be  effective  January  1,  2020.  The  Company  is  currently
        assessing  the  impact  of  the  new  guidance  on  its   consolidated   financial
        statements.


        Statement of Cash Flows


        In August  2016,  the FASB issued  guidance  that  provides  clarification  on the
        classification  of certain cash  receipts  and  payments in the  statement of cash
        flows.  The guidance will be effective  January 1, 2018.  The Company is currently
        assessing  the  impact  of  the  new  guidance  on  its   consolidated   financial
        statements.

        Fair value measurements

        Fair value is based on an exit  price,  which is the price that would be  received
        to sell an  asset  or paid to  transfer  a  liability  in an  orderly  transaction
        between  market  participants  at the  measurement  date.  The fair value guidance
        also establishes a hierarchical  disclosure  framework which prioritizes and ranks
        the level of market price  observability used in measuring  financial  instruments
        at fair  value.  Market  price  observability  is affected by a number of factors,
        including  the  type  of  instrument  and  the  characteristics  specific  to  the
        instrument.  Financial  instruments with readily available active quoted prices or
        for which fair value can be measured from actively  quoted prices  generally  will
        have a  higher  degree  of  market  price  observability  and a lesser  degree  of
        judgment used in measuring fair value.


        The  Company  determines  the fair  value of its  investments,  in the  absence of
        observable  market  prices,  using the  valuation  methodologies  described  below
        applied on a  consistent  basis.  For some  investments,  market  activity  may be
        minimal  or  nonexistent  and  management's  determination  of fair  value is then
        based  on  the  best   information   available  in  the   circumstances   and  may
        incorporate  management's  own  assumptions,  which involves a significant  degree
        of judgment.


        Investments  for which market  prices are not  observable  are  generally  private
        investments,  securities valued using non-binding broker quotes or securities with
        very little trading  activity.  Fair values of private  investments are determined
        by  reference  to  public  market  or  private   transactions  or  valuations  for
        comparable  companies  or assets in the  relevant  asset  class when such  amounts
        are available.  If these are not available,  a discounted cash flow analysis using
        interest spreads adjusted for the  maturity/average  life differences may be used.
        Spread  adjustments  are intended to reflect an illiquidity  premium and take into
        account a variety of factors  including but not limited to senior unsecured versus
        secured,  par amount  outstanding,  number of  holders,  maturity,  average  life,
        composition of lending group, debt rating,  credit default spreads,  default rates
        and  credit  spreads   applicable  to  the  security   sector.   These   valuation
        methodologies involve a significant degree of judgment.


        Financial  instruments  measured  and  reported at fair value are  classified  and
        disclosed in one of the following categories.


        Level 1 - Quoted  prices are  available  in active  markets  that the  Company has
        the ability to access for  identical  financial  instruments  as of the  reporting
        date. The types of financial  instruments included in Level 1 are listed equities,
        mutual funds,  money market funds,  non-interest  bearing  cash,  exchange  traded
        futures and options,  and separate  account assets.  As required by the fair value
        measurements   guidance,  the  Company  does  not  adjust  the  quoted  price  for
        these financial  instruments,  even in situations  where it holds a large position
        and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.


        Level 2 - Fair  values  are  based  on  quoted  prices  for  identical  assets  or
        liabilities  in  active  and  inactive  markets.   Inactive  markets  involve  few
        transactions  for identical  assets or liabilities  and the prices are not current
        or price  quotations vary  substantially  over time or among market makers,  which
        would  include  some  broker  quotes.  Level 2 inputs  also  include  corroborated
        market data such as interest rate spreads, yield curves, volatilities,  prepayment
        speeds,  credit risks and default rates.  Financial instruments that are generally
        included  in this  category  include  corporate  bonds,  asset-backed  securities,
        CMOs,  short-term  securities,  less liquid and restricted  equity  securities and
        over-the-counter derivatives.


        Level 3 -  Pricing  inputs  are  unobservable  for the  financial  instrument  and
        include  situations  where  there  is  little,  if any,  market  activity  for the
        financial  instrument.  These  inputs may reflect the  Company's  estimates of the
        assumptions  that  market   participants   would  use  in  valuing  the  financial
        instruments.  Financial  instruments that are included in this category  generally
        include private corporate securities,  collateralized debt obligations and indexed
        life and annuity embedded derivatives.


        In certain  cases,  the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into  different
        levels of the fair value hierarchy.  In such cases, a financial instrument's level
        within the fair  value  hierarchy  is based on the  lowest  level of input that is
        significant to the fair value  measurement.  The assessment of the significance of
        a  particular  input  to the  fair  value  measurement  in its  entirety  requires
        judgment and considers  factors  specific to the financial  instrument.  From time
        to time  there may be  movements  between  levels as  inputs  become  more or less
        observable,  which may depend on several  factors  including  the  activity of the
        market  for  the  specific  security,  the  activity  of the  market  for  similar
        securities,  the level of risk  spreads  and the  source of the  information  from
        which the Company  obtains the  information.  Transfers in or out of any level are
        measured as of the beginning of the period.


        The  Company  relies  on third  party  pricing  services  and  independent  broker
        quotes to value fixed  maturity  and equity  securities.  The third party  pricing
        services  use  discounted  cash flow  models or the market  approach  to value the
        securities  when the  securities  are not  traded on an  exchange.  The  following
        characteristics  are  considered  in  the  valuation  process:  benchmark  yields,
        reported  trades,   issuer  spreads,   bids,  offers,   benchmark  and  comparable
        securities, estimated cash flows and prepayment speeds.


        The Company  performs both  quantitative  and qualitative  analysis of the prices.
        The  review  includes  initial  and  ongoing  review  of the third  party  pricing
        methodologies,  back testing of recent  trades,  and review of pricing  trends and
        statistics.


        The  following  tables   summarize  the  valuation  of  the  Company's   financial
        instruments  carried  at fair  value  in the  consolidated  balance  sheets  as of
        December 31, 2016 and 2015 by the fair value hierarchy  levels defined in the fair
        value   measurements   guidance.   Methods  and  assumptions   used  to  determine
        the fair values are described in Note 1:

Included in the  December  31,  2016 Level 3 fixed  maturities  are  private  asset-backed
securities,   categorized   as   asset-backed   securities,   with   unique   fair   value
considerations.  The private  asset-backed  securities  consist of thirty-four  securities
with a par value of $1,673,962 and the fair value of  $1,593,974.  These  securities  were
structured  by  the  Company's   investment   advisor   Guggenheim   Partners   Investment
Management  ("GPIM"),  an  affiliate,   between  2006  and  2009.  The  market  for  these
securities  is very  limited  and,  as a  result,  there  is a lack of  observable  market
inputs.  These  securities are supported by invested  assets held in trusts.  The invested
assets  typically  consist  of  a  zero  coupon  U.S.   Government  or  Government  Agency
security  that has a par value and  maturity  equal to the par value and  maturity  of the
applicable  asset-backed  security. The interest obligation applicable to these securities
is  supported  by the  remaining  assets  held in the  trust.  As a note  holder  in these
trusts,  the Company  does not have access to detailed  information  about the  underlying
collateral in the trusts.  As such,  the Company makes certain  assumptions  regarding the
underlying collateral in order to determine a fair value for these securities.

The Company has  developed  internal  pricing  models to determine  the fair values of the
private asset-backed securities.  The internal models use cash flow projections with input
assumptions   consistent   with   market   estimates   for  AA+/Aaa   structured   finance
securities.  The models assume  limited  liquidity and include  assumptions  regarding the
collateral  underlying  the interest  obligations  due to the Company's  limited access to
information on the collateral.

        At  December  31,  2016,  the Company  held 9,685  positions  in fixed  income and
        equity  securities.  The above table includes  1,410  securities of 928 issuers as
        of December  31,  2016.  At December 31,  2016,  95% of the  unrealized  losses on
        fixed  maturities  were  securities  rated  investment  grade.   Investment  grade
        securities  are  defined as those  securities  rated AAA through BBB - by Standard
        & Poor's.  At December 31, 2016, 5% of the unrealized  losses on fixed  maturities
        were on securities rated below investment  grade.  Equity  securities in the above
        table  consist  primarily  of  non-redeemable  preferred  stocks  and an  exchange
        listed  common stock.  These  securities  are reviewed for  impairment in the same
        manner as the fixed income  securities.  At December  31,  2016,  fixed income and
        equity  securities  in an  unrealized  loss  position  had  fair  value  equal  to
        approximately 96% of amortized cost.


        The  following  summarizes  the  unrealized  losses by  investment  category as of
        December 31, 2016.


        U.S. Government and agencies


        The U. S.  government  and agencies  represents  15% of the  unrealized  losses at
        December 31, 2016.  The total  unrealized  losses in this category have  increased
        at  December  31, 2016  compared  to December  31,  2015.  The  unrealized  losses
        are applicable to securities  with yields lower than the market yield available on
        similar  securities  at December 31, 2016.  The table above  indicates  93% of the
        unrealized  losses have been in an  unrealized  loss position for twelve months or
        less.  Interest  rates  declined  sharply in early 2016 and  remained  low for the
        majority  of the year  before  increasing  sharply  late in the year.  Significant
        purchases  were made in this  category in 2016  during the period of low  interest
        rates and those securities are now at unrealized  losses due to the rise in market
        interest  rates  late in the  year.  At  this  time  the  Company  believes  these
        impairments  are  temporary  and the Company does not intend or believe it will be
        required to sell these securities before recovery of its amortized cost.


        Municipal securities


        The  municipal  category,  which  represents  16%  of  the  unrealized  losses  at
        December  31,  2016,  includes  bonds  issued by state and local  governments  and
        school  district tax credit bonds.  The total  unrealized  losses in this category
        have  increased  significantly  at  December  31, 2016  compared  to December  31,
        2015.  Interest  rates  declined  sharply in early 2016 and  remained  low for the
        majority  of the year  before  increasing  sharply  late in the year.  Significant
        purchases  were made in this  category in 2016  during the period of low  interest
        rates and those securities are now at unrealized  losses due to the rise in market
        interest  rates  late in the year.  In  addition,  the fair  values  of  municipal
        securities declined in late 2016 due to market participants  pricing in the impact
        of potential  federal  corporate  and  individual  tax rate  reductions,  which if
        enacted  would  impact  the value of the  tax-exempt  status of  municipal  bonds.
        The  Company did not  recognize  any  impairment  losses on  municipal  securities
        during  2016.  The  Company   recognized   impairment   losses  of  $7,224  during
        2015  on  certain   securities   backed  by  sales  tax  revenues  issued  by  the
        Commonwealth  of Puerto Rico.  The impaired  securities are not in default but the
        Company  has  recognized  the  impairment  losses due to  concerns  related to the
        length of time anticipated to resolve the rights of the variance  creditors of the
        Commonwealth.  The Company  does not believe  there will be  significant  defaults
        in this sector in the short or long-term.  With the exception of the  Commonwealth
        of Puerto Rico  securities  previously  discussed,  the  Company  believes it will
        receive  all amounts  contractually  due and it does not intend or believe it will
        be  required  to sell  these  securities  prior to  recovery  of  amortized  cost,
        therefore additional impairment losses have not been recognized in this sector.


        Corporate securities


        Corporate  securities  represent  the  largest  category of  unrealized  losses at
        December 31, 2016  representing  30% of unrealized  losses.  The total  unrealized
        losses  in  this   category   have   decreased   modestly  at  December  31,  2016
        compared   to   December   31,   2015.    The   Company    recognized    corporate
        securities   impairment  losses  of  $46,182  and  $58,748  for  the  years  ended
        December  31,  2016 and  2015,  respectively.  The  impairment  losses  recognized
        in  2016  were  primarily  related  to  energy  and  a  specialty  retailer.   The
        impairment  losses   recognized  in  2015  were  primarily  energy  related.   The
        non-energy  related  impairment  losses  were  primarily  attributable  to several
        private  bank loans.  The  Company has  reviewed  the other  unrealized  losses in
        the corporate  securities  sector and believes the  impairments  are temporary and
        the  Company  does not intend to sell or believe it will be required to sell these
        securities before recovery of each security's amortized cost.


        Residential mortgage-backed securities ("RMBS")


        The  unrealized  losses  on RMBS,  which  represents  5% of  unrealized  losses at
        December  31,  2016,  are  concentrated  in  the  non-agency   sector.  The  total
        unrealized  losses in this category have  increases  slightly at December 31, 2016
        compared  to  December  31,  2015.   About  half  of  the  unrealized   losses  at
        December  31,  2015 are in the  twelve  months or less  category.  The  unrealized
        losses in the  twelve  months or more  category  declined  slightly  during  2016.
        Interest  rates  declined  sharply in early 2016 and remained low for the majority
        of the year before  increasing  sharply late in the year.  Purchases  were made in
        this  category  in  2016  during  the  period  of low  interest  rates  and  those
        securities are now at unrealized  losses due to the rise in market  interest rates
        late in the year.  The  Company  performs  various  stress  tests on the cash flow
        projections  for these  securities  and in situations  where it is determined  the
        projected  cash flows  cannot  support the  contractual  amounts due the  Company,
        an impairment  loss is  recognized.  In situations  where the projected cash flows
        indicate  the Company  will  receive the amounts it is  contractually  due and the
        Company  does not intend or believe it will be required  to sell these  securities
        before recovery of its amortized  cost, an impairment loss is not recognized.  The
        Company   recognized  no  impairment   losses  on  RMBS  during  the  years  ended
        December 31, 2016 and 2015.


        Commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS")


        The  unrealized  losses  on CMBS,  which  represents  6% of  unrealized  losses at
        December 31,  2016,  are  primarily  attributable  to  illiquidity  applicable  to
        certain  securities  in  that  sector  and  credit  spread  widening.   The  total
        unrealized  losses in this category have  increased  slightly at December 31, 2016
        compared   to   December   31,   2015.   The   Company   has   reviewed    payment
        performance,  delinquency  rates,  and credit  enhancements  within  the  security
        structures  and  monitored  the  credit  ratings  of all its  CMBS  holdings.  The
        Company  has  performed  cash flow  projection  analyses on all of its CMBS and in
        those   situations   where  it  appears  the  Company  will  receive  all  amounts
        contractually  due and it does not intend to sell or  believe it will be  required
        to sell these  securities  prior to recovery of amortized cost, an impairment loss
        is not recognized.


        Asset-backed securities ("ABS")


        The  unrealized  losses  in ABS,  which  represents  27% of  unrealized  losses at
        December  31, 2016,  are  primarily  related to  collateralized  debt  obligations
        backed by various  consumer and  commercial  finance  loans.  This  category  also
        includes  structured  notes  backed  by  diversified  investment  portfolios.   In
        addition,  the Company has  recognized  unrealized  losses  applicable  to private
        ABS securities  within this category,  which losses are primarily  included in the
        less than twelve  months  category.  The  unrealized  losses are  primarily due to
        wide credit  spreads in this  sector,  particularly  related to private  ABS.  The
        unrealized  losses in this category have  decreased  slightly at December 31, 2016
        compared  to  December  31,  2015,  but  generally  shifted  from the less than 12
        month to the 12 months or more categories  primarily as a result of persistency in
        2016  of  the  credit   spreads  which  had  widened   during  2015.  The  Company
        stress  tests  the  projected  cash  flows  of its ABS and  recognizes  impairment
        losses in situations where the testing  indicates the Company will not receive all
        amounts  contractually due from the securities.  This category also includes fixed
        income  securities  containing  embedded   derivatives.   The  Company  recognized
        ABS  impairment  losses  of $0  and  $10,870  for  the  year  ended  December  31,
        2016 and 2015,  respectively.  In those  situations  where it appears  the Company
        will  receive all amounts  contractually  due and it does not intend or believe it
        will be required to sell these  securities prior to recovery of amortized cost, an
        impairment loss is not recognized.


        Other debt obligations


        This category,  which  represents  well under 1% of unrealized  losses at December
        31, 2016,  primarily  consists of credit tenant loans.  The  unrealized  losses in
        this category are the result of concerns  regarding  the credit  worthiness of the
        building tenants and illiquidity in this market sector.  The unrealized  losses on
        these  securities  have  increased  slightly  during the year ended  December  31,
        2016  compared  to the  unrealized  losses  at  December  31,  2015.  The  Company
        monitors the  creditworthiness  of the obligors and recognizes  impairment  losses
        in  situations  where it is  determined  the Company  will not receive all amounts
        contractually  due from the securities.  In those  situations where it appears the
        Company  will  receive  all  amounts  contractually  due and it does not intend or
        believe  it will be  required  to sell  these  securities  prior  to  recovery  of
        amortized cost, an impairment loss is not recognized.

        total  unrealized  losses in this  category  have  decreased  at December 31, 2016
        compared  to  December  31,  2015.  During  2016,   impairment  losses  recognized
        by the  Company  were  comprised  of a  preferred  equity  position  of an  energy
        company,  a common  equity  position of a  publically  listed  financial  services
        company and a common equity  position of a specialty  retailer.  During 2015,  the
        Company   recognized   impairment  losses  on  two  common  equity  securities  of
        $36,474.  The losses were  recognized  on one publicly  listed  financial  service
        company  and one  one-publicly  traded  retail  company.  The  Company  recognized
        total  impairment  losses of $37,251 and $43,620  applicable to equity  securities
        for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

        The  loan-to-value  ratio is  determined  using the most recent  appraised  value.
        Appraisals  are updated  periodically  when there is an  indication  of a possible
        significant  collateral  decline  or there  are loan  modifications  or  refinance
        requests.   A  loan-to-value  ratio in excess of 100%  indicates  the unpaid  loan
        amount exceeds the underlying collateral.


        The Company  reviews  its  mortgage  loans for  impairment  on an on-going  basis.
        It considers such factors as  delinquency  of payments,  decreases in the value of
        underlying properties,  the financial condition of the mortgagee and the impact of
        general   economic   conditions  in  the   geographic   areas  of  the  properties
        collateralizing  the  mortgages.  Once the  determination  is made that a mortgage
        loan is impaired,  the primary  consideration  used to determine the amount of the
        impairment  is the fair  market  value of the  underlying  property.  The  Company
        assumes it would  receive the proceeds  from the sale of the  underlying  property
        less  sale  expenses.  The  Company  maintains  an  allowance  for  mortgage  loan
        losses.  The  allowance is determined  through an analysis of specific  loans that
        are believed to have a higher risk of credit  impairment.  The  rollforward of the
        allowance for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 is as follows:


                                                                  2016                2015

                                                            =================   =================


        Charge offs include the amount of loss  resulting from writing  specific  mortgage
        loans to fair value and loans  which were  satisfied  by taking  ownership  of the
        real  estate.  When the real  estate is taken it is recorded at its fair value and
        the mortgage loan is recorded as fully paid.  Provision  released is applicable to
        loans determined to no longer require an allowance.


        During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2016,  there  were no  mortgages  written
        down to fair value.  There were no  allowance  charge offs related to a commercial
        mortgage  for 2016.  During  the year  ended  December  31,  2015,  there  were no
        mortgages  written  down to fair value.  The amount of  allowance  charge offs was
        $258   during  the  year  ended   December   31,   2015.   The   Company  did  not
        restructure  any  mortgage  loans  during the years  ended  December  31, 2016 and
        2015.


        The  Company  took  ownership  of one piece of real  estate in 2016.  The  company
        did not take  ownership of any real estate in 2015.  Real estate is a component of

        equity  securities  that total  $78,667 and  $59,995 as of  December  31, 2016 and
        2015,  respectively.  These  securities are included in equity  securities and are
        carried at cost,  which  approximates  fair value.  Resale of these  securities is

None of the derivatives above are designated as hedging instruments.

        Indexed options and futures

        The  Company  has  indexed  annuity  and  indexed  universal  life  products  that
        provide  for a  guaranteed  base  return  and a higher  potential  return  tied to
        several  major  equity  market  indices.  In order  to fund  these  benefits,  the
        Company   purchases   over-the-counter   index   options   that   compensate   the
        Company for any appreciation  over the strike price and offsets the  corresponding
        increase  in  the  policyholder  obligation.   The  Company  also  enters  futures
        contracts and options to  compensate  it for  increases in the same  indices.  The
        Company classifies these options and futures as derivative instruments.

        The  Company  amortizes  the  cost  of  the  indexed  options  against  investment
        income  over the  term of the  option,  which  is  typically  one  year.  When the
        options are exercised at maturity,  the value received by the Company is reflected
        as net investment income in the consolidated statements of income.


        The futures  contracts  have no initial cost and are marked to market daily.  That
        daily  mark-to-market  is settled through the Company's  variation margin accounts
        maintained  with  the  counterparty.   The  Company  reports  the  change  in  the
        difference  between  market value and  amortized  cost of indexed  options and the
        change in the futures  variation  margin accounts as gains (losses) on derivatives
        and derivative instruments in the consolidated statements of income.


        Embedded derivatives related to indexed life and annuity products

        The   Company's    indexed   life   and   annuity    products   contain   embedded
        derivatives.  The fair value of the embedded  options  related to these direct and
        ceded  policyholder  obligations  are based upon current and expected index levels
        and  returns  as well as  assumptions  regarding  general  policyholder  behavior,
        primarily  lapses and withdrawals.  These projected  benefit values are discounted
        to the current date using an assumed  interest rate  consistent  with the duration
        of the liability  adjusted to reflect the  Company's  credit risk and risk margin.
        This value is then  compared to the carrying  value of the  liability to calculate
        any gain or loss that is reflected  in the  consolidated  statements  of income as
        net gains (losses) on derivatives and derivative instruments.

        The  Company  has two  coinsurance  with  funds  withheld  reinsurance  agreements
        as well as a modified coinsurance  agreement with unaffiliated  reinsurers.  Under
        applicable  guidance,   the  Company's  reinsurance  agreements  contain  embedded
        derivatives  that  require  bifurcation  due to  credit  risks  the  reinsurer  is
        assuming that are not clearly and closely related to the  creditworthiness  of the
        Company.  The  embedded  derivatives  contained  in the funds  withheld  liability
        have  characteristics  similar to a total return swap since the Company  cedes the
        total return on a designated  investment  portfolio to the outside reinsurer.  The
        reinsurer  assumes the  interest  credited to the  policyholders  on the  policies
        covered by the  treaties,  which  interest is  relatively  fixed.  The Company has
        developed   models  based  on  the  expected  cash  flows  of  the  ceded  annuity
        business to estimate  the fair value of the policy  liabilities.  The value of the
        derivative  embedded  in the funds  withheld  coinsurance  agreements  is equal to
        the  difference  between  the  fair  value of the  assets  in the  funds  withheld
        portfolio and the fair value of the policy  liabilities  estimated  from cash flow
        models.  The  value  of  the  derivative  embedded  in  the  modified  coinsurance
        agreement is equal to the difference  between the fair value and cost basis of the
        underlying  financial  instruments  in  the  modco  portfolio.  The  value  of the
        embedded   derivative  is  reported  in  the   consolidated   balance   sheets  in
        reinsurance  receivables.  The net change in the  reported  value of the  embedded
        derivatives  is  reported  in net gains  (losses) on  derivatives  and  derivative
        instruments in the consolidated statements of income.

        See Note 11 for  further  discussion  related to the  Company's  coinsurance  with
        funds withheld and modified coinsurance reinsurance agreements.

        Embedded derivatives related to hybrid financial instruments

        The Company  holds hybrid  financial  instruments,  fixed income  securities  with
        embedded   derivatives,   and  has   elected   fair   value   measurement.   These
        securities are reported in the  consolidated  balance sheets in fixed  maturities,
        available-for-sale,  at fair value.  Any change in the fair value of the  security
        is reported as net gains  (losses) on derivatives  and  derivative  instruments in
        the  consolidated  statements of income.  The amortized cost and fair value of the
        Company's  hybrid  financial   instruments  at  December  31,  2016  was  $539,000
        and $531,679,  respectively.  The  amortized  cost and fair value of the Company's
        hybrid  financial  instruments  at December 31, 2015 was  $584,000  and  $558,210,
        respectively.  The  decision  to  elect  fair  value  measurement  is  made  on an
        instrument-by-instrument  basis  under the  guidance.  The Company  will  consider
        making  an  election  of  fair  value  measurement  at  the  time  of  any  future
        acquisitions of hybrid financial instruments.


        Other derivative instruments


        The Company has also  entered  into  interest  rate floor,  interest  rate cap and
        interest  rate swap  agreements  to help manage its  overall  exposure to interest
        rate  changes  and  credit  events.  These  other  derivative  instruments  do not
        hedge  specific  assets  or  liabilities  and as  such  are not  accounted  for as
        effective  hedges.  The Company holds  interest  rate floor and cap  agreements to
        protect itself against  interest rate  fluctuations in relation to crediting rates
        on its policyholder  accounts.  These swaps,  caps and floors are reported at fair
        value in the  consolidated  balance  sheets  and  changes  in the fair  value  are
        reported  as a  component  of net gains  (losses) on  derivatives  and  derivative
        instruments  in the  consolidated  statements  of income.  Periodic  interest rate
        swap  settlements  and  current  period  changes  in the swap  accruals  for these
        non-hedge  swaps are  reported  as a  component  of net  investment  income in the
        consolidated  statements  of income  with the  payable or  receivable  included in
        accrued  investment  income in the  consolidated  balance sheets.  The stated fair
        value of the applicable interest rate swaps excludes the current period accruals.


        The Company has entered into foreign  currency  forwards to protect itself against
        currency  fluctuations  between trade and  settlement  dates on foreign  financial
        instruments.  These  forwards  are  reported  at fair  value  in the  consolidated
        balance  sheets and  changes  in fair value are  reported  as a  component  of net
        gains (losses) on  derivatives  and  derivative  instruments  in the  consolidated
        statements of income.


        A   consolidated   VIE  of  the  Company   issued  notes   payable  with  embedded
        derivatives  and has elected the fair value option.  The notes are reported in the
        consolidated  balance  sheets in notes  payable.  Any  change in the fair value of
        the  notes is  reported  as net  gains  (losses)  on  derivatives  and  derivative
        instruments in the consolidated statements of income.

7.      VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES


        Consolidated VIEs


        The  Company  has  concluded  that  as of  December  31,  2016  it is the  primary
        beneficiary of two variable  interest  entities,  Wattage Finance,  LLC - Series C
        ("Wattage")  and  Merlin  Series  2015  A-C  LLC  ("Merlin"),  and  has  therefore
        consolidated those entities in the Company's financial statements.


        Wattage was set up as a  financing  vehicle for a natural gas fired power plant in
        Texas.  The  Company,  along with a common  control  related  party,  has provided
        all of the equity for this company and  therefore  receives all economic  benefits
        or losses.  The Company  does not have any voting  rights and  therefore  does not
        meet the power  criteria.  However,  because  of the  Company's  equity  ownership
        the  determination  has been  made that  substantially  all of the  activities  of
        Wattage  are  carried  out on behalf of  Companies  in the common  control  group.
        Because  the  Company  is  the  majority   owner  it  is  considered  the  primary
        beneficiary.


        Merlin was set up as a restructuring of an indexed linked security that the Company
        and a common control related party had held directly in order to defease the coupon
        payment of the  security.  The Merlin entity issued a notes payable in exchange for
        the index linked security.  The notes payable are the sole capitalization of Merlin
        and the Company and related party are the sole holders of the note. The Company and
        related  party do not have any voting  rights and  therefore  do not meet the power
        criteria.  However,  because the Company and its common control  related party have
        ownership  of the  entire  note  issuance  the  determination  has been  made  that
        substantially  all of the  activities  of Merlin are  carried  out on behalf of the
        related party group and because the Company holds the majority of the note issuance
        in the related party group it is considered the primary beneficiary.


        The Company  consolidated  two  additional  variable  interest  entities,  Wattage
        Finance,  LLC - Series A and Paris  Finance II LLC,  in its  financial  statements
        as of December 31, 2015.


        Wattage  Series A was an entity  set up  similar  to  Wattage  Series C  discussed
        above in order to finance a power  plant in North  Carolina.  In early  2016,  the
        power  plant  entered  the  initial   construction   phase.   Wattage  Series  A's
        investment in the underlying  project was  contributed to a new entity and Wattage
        Series A was  dissolved.  The  Company  received  ownership  interests  in the new
        entity, but has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of that entity.


        Paris Finance II was formed to provide  financing for a real estate project on the
        site of the  Beverly  Hills  Hilton.  The  Company  and a common  control  related
        party were the sole  providers of capital in the form of notes  payable.  Although
        the Company did not meet the power criteria,  it was determined that substantially
        all of the  activities  of Paris  Finance  II was  carried  out on  behalf  of the
        Company  and its  related  party.  The  Company  owned the  majority  of the notes
        payable and was therefore  considered  the primary  beneficiary.  In early 2016, a
        restructuring  of the  financing  occurred in which Paris Finance II's interest in
        the  underlying  project was  contributed  to another entity in exchange for notes
        payable in that entity.  The notes in the new entity were then  distributed out to
        the  Company  and  Paris  Finance  II  was  dissolved.  The  Company  performed  a
        VIE  analysis  on the new  entity  and  determined  that  it was  not the  primary
        beneficiary.


        The Company's  consolidated  financial statements include the assets,  liabilities
        and  operating  results of the above  mentioned  VIEs for which the Company is the
        primary  beneficiary.  The  following  table  summarizes  the carrying  amounts of
        these  entities'  assets and  liabilities  included in the Company's  consolidated
        balances sheets at December 31, 2016 and 2015:

        The  Company  holds  variable  interests  in a number of VIEs  where  the  Company
        is not the primary  beneficiary.  Investments  in these VIEs are reported in fixed
        maturities and other invested assets.


        Investments  in  VIEs  held as  fixed  maturity  securities  include  CMBS,  RMBS,
        CLOs and other ABS.  These  entities  are VIEs due to their  thin  capitalization.
        The   Company  has  made  the   determination   that  they  are  not  the  primary
        beneficiary.  This  determination  is made due to the  Company's  lack of power to
        direct the  activities of these  entities as well as less than majority  ownership
        of the total issuances.


        Investments  in  VIE's  held  as  other  invested  assets  are  primarily  limited
        partnership  equity  holdings  where  the  Company  is  a  limited  partner.   The
        partnerships  are  deemed  VIEs  because  the  equity  ownership  lacks  power  to
        direct the activities of the  partnership.  The Company has  determined  that they
        are not the primary  beneficiary  of these  entities due to the Company's  lack of
        power to direct  activities as well as less than  majority  ownership of the total
        equity investment.


        The  Company's  carrying  amount of its asset  compared  to its  maximum  exposure
        to loss as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 is as follows:

8.      REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS, OTHER BORROWINGS, AND COLLATERAL ON DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS


        Repurchase agreements


       Securities   sold   under    repurchase    agreements   and   securities    lending
       arrangements are effectively collateralized borrowings. In these transactions,  the
       Company  receives cash in exchange for  transferring  securities as collateral  and
       recognizes an obligation to reacquire the securities for cash at the  transaction's
       maturity.  These types of transactions create risks, including (1) the counterparty
       may fail to fulfill its  obligations  under  outstanding  agreements,  (2) the fair
       value of the securities  transferred may decline below the amount of the obligation
       to  reacquire  the  securities,  and  therefore  create  an  obligation  to  pledge
       additional  amounts,  and (3) the  counterparty  may  accelerate  the  maturity  on
       demand  requiring  the  Company to  reacquire  the  security  prior to  contractual
       maturity.  The  Company  attempts  to  mitigate  these  risks by the fact  that the
       majority of the securities  financing  activities involve highly liquid securities,
       selecting  counterparties  with  long-standing  performance  records and monitoring
       the fair value of collateral pledged relative to contractually  required repurchase
       amounts.  The  repurchase  collateral  posted by  counterparties  at  December  31,
       2016 and 2015 was $858 and  $3,660,  respectively.  The  following  table  provides
       the underlying  collateral types of the Company's gross  obligations as well as the
       remaining   contractual   maturity  under   repurchase   and   securities   lending
       agreements.

        Other borrowings


        At  December  31,  2016 and  2015,  the  Company  had  outstanding  borrowings  of
        $1,716,670  and  $1,249,870  respectively  from  the FHLB in  accordance  with the
        terms  of  its  membership  agreement.   The  purpose  of  the  borrowings  is  to
        complement   the  Company's   repurchase   agreement   program.   The   borrowings
        are  reported  as a component  of  repurchase  agreements,  other  borrowings  and
        collateral on derivative  instruments  in the  consolidated  balance  sheets.  The
        borrowings  outstanding  at  December  31,  2016 have  maturity  dates in January,
        February,  and  March of 2017;  January  and  November  of  2018;  February,  May,
        June and  November  of 2019;  May,  June and  October  of 2020;  and  November  of
        2021.  The  interest  rates on the  outstanding  borrowings  range  from  0.83% to
        2.16%.  Interest expense incurred during 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $13,793,  $7,259,
        and  $5,245,  respectively,  and is  reported  as a  component  of net  investment
        income in the  consolidated  statements  of  income.  The  carrying  value of this
        borrowing approximates its fair value due to its short maturity.


        In   accordance   with  the   FHLB   membership   agreement,   the   Company   was
        required  to  purchase  FHLB  common  stock.   At  December  31,  2016,  2015  and
        2014  the  Company  held  $78,667,  $59,995  and  $55,195  of FHLB  common  stock,
        respectively.  In  addition,  the  Company  has posted  mortgage  loans and agency
        MBS/CMO  fixed income  securities  with fair values in excess of the amount of the
        borrowing as collateral.


       On  December  31,  2011  Solberg  Re, an  indirect  wholly  owned  limited  purpose
       subsidiary  domiciled in the State of Iowa,  secured an irrevocable  standby letter
       of  credit  ("LOC")  from a large  commercial  bank.  On  June  28,  2013,  the LOC
       facility  was  amended  to  increase  the  aggregate  maximum  LOC  amount,  extend
       the term and increase the life  insurance  policies  covered  under the  agreement.
       On June 30,  2014,  the LOC  facility  was amended to increase  the life  insurance
       policies  covered under the  agreement.  The term of the facility and the aggregate
       maximum   issuance   amount   did  not   change   in  the   2014   amendment.   The
       amended  LOC,   which  has  a  term  of  13  years,   has  an   aggregate   maximum
       issuance  amount of  $700,000,  of which  $583,347  and  $558,037  were  issued and
       outstanding  at  December  31,  2016 and 2015,  respectively.  The  purpose  of the
       LOC is to support  redundant  statutory  required  reserves on  specific  term life
       insurance  policies  issued by Midland  National  and North  American  and ceded to
       Solberg  Re.  The LOC can be drawn  upon when  actual  policy  benefits  applicable

14.     INCOME TAXES


        The significant components of income tax expense are as follows:


                                                              2016            2015            2014
                                                          --------------  --------------  --------------

                                                          ==============  ==============  ==============



        Total  income tax expense  attributable  to income  before  taxes  differs from the
        amounts that would result from applying the U.S.  federal  statutory rate of 35% in
        2016, 2015 and 2014. The significant differences in 2016 and 2014 were tax credits.
        The significant differences in 2015 included tax credits and the release of an over
        accrual of deferred tax liabilities.


        The tax effects of temporary  differences  that give rise to significant  portions
        of deferred  income tax assets and  deferred  income tax  liabilities  at December
        31, 2016 and 2015 are as follows:

        If the Company  determines  that any of its deferred tax assets will not result in
        future tax benefits,  a valuation allowance must be established for the portion of
        these  assets  that are not  expected to be  realized.  Based upon a review of the
        Company's  anticipated  future  taxable  income  and after  considering  all other
        available  evidence,   both  positive  and  negative,   the  Company's  management
        concluded  that it is more likely than not that the gross deferred tax assets will
        be realized, and no valuation allowance is necessary.


        The Company has not  established  a liability  for  unrecognized  tax benefits and
        does not  expect  this to  change  during  the next  twelve  months.  The  Company
        recognizes  interest  and/or  penalties  as  a  component  of  tax  expense.   The
        Company  did  not  have  any  accrued  interest  and  penalties  at  December  31,
        2016, 2015 and 2014.


        The IRS  concluded  its  examination  of the  2012 and  2013  tax  returns  during
        2016.  All  adjustments  were agreed to and the  additional  tax and interest paid
        had no material  effect on the financial  statements.  Tax years prior to 2014 are
        considered effectively closed.


15.     OPERATING LEASES


        The  Company  leases  certain  equipment  and  office  space.  Rental  expense  of
        $4,400,  $4,015 and  $3,923 was  incurred  in 2016,  2015 and 2014,  respectively.
        Approximate  future  minimum  lease  payments  under  noncancellable   leases  are
        as follows:


                    Year ending December 31,
                    2016                                    $ 2,830
                    2017                                      3,245

16.     EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS


        Pension Plan


        The  Company  had  a  noncontributory   defined  benefit  pension  plan  ("Pension
        Plan")  covering  certain  full-time  employees.  In 2004, the Company  approved a
        plan  amendment to freeze the  participant's  accounts of the Pension Plan,  which
        had the effect of  establishing  each  participant's  earned accrued benefit as of
        December  31,  2004.  The Plan was  terminated  on July 18,  2014.  As a result of
        the plan  termination,  the liability to plan participants was settled through the
        purchase  of  nonparticipating   annuity  contracts  and  lump  sum  payments.  In
        2014,  the  Company  recorded  a  nonrecurring  settlement  loss of  approximately
        $15,479.  Plan assets remaining in the Pension Plan after termination  payouts and
        payment  of  certain  plan  expenses  were   transferred  to  the  Employee  Stock
        Ownership  Plan  ("ESOP")  in  accordance  with IRC ss. 409 and were not be  subject
        to excise tax.


        Retiree Medical Plan


        The  Company  provides  certain  post-retirement  health care  benefits  through a
        health and  welfare  benefit  plan  ("Retiree  Medical  Plan") and life  insurance
        benefits  for  eligible  active and retired  employees.  The  accumulated  benefit
        obligation  included in accounts  payable  and  accrued  expenses  was $23,531 and
        $23,088  for 2016 and 2015,  respectively.  The  weighted-average  discount  rates
        used to  determine  the  benefit  obligations  as of  December  31,  2016 and 2015
        were 4.01% and 4.14%,  respectively.   Net  periodic  benefit  costs were  $1,148,
        $1,356  and  $702  for  the  year  ended   December  31,  2016,   2015  and  2014,
        respectively.  The  weighted-average  discount  rates  used to  determine  the net
        periodic  benefit  costs  for the year  ended  December  31,  2016,  2015 and 2014
        were 4.14%, 3.79% and 4.75%, respectively.


        Employee stock ownership plan


       The  Company   participates   in  an  Employee   Stock   Ownership   Plan  ("ESOP")
       sponsored  by SEI  covering  certain  full-time  employees.   Prior  to  2010,  the
       majority  of SEI's  stock  was  held in the  Charles  A.  Sammons  1987  Charitable
       Remainder  Trust Number Two (the  "CRT").   Prior to his death in 1988,  Charles A.
       Sammons,  the  founder  of SEI,  established  the  CRT.   The  death of his  widow,
       Elaine D.  Sammons,  in January  2009,  initiated the process of settling the CRT. 
       In  January  2010,  the  7,664,402  shares  of the SEI  stock  held by the CRT were
       transferred to the ESOP (the  "Transfer") as unallocated  shares,  which  completed
       the  settlement  of the  CRT.   As of  December  31,  2016 the  ESOP  owns  100% of
       the outstanding stock of SEI.
        
       Compensation expense of $19,657, $17,729 and $21,389 for 2016, 2015 and
       2014, respectively, was recorded related to the ESOP.


17.     STATUTORY FINANCIAL DATA AND DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS


       The Company is domiciled in Iowa and its statutory-basis financial statements are
       prepared in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the
       insurance department of the domiciliary state.  "Prescribed" statutory accounting
       practices include state laws, regulations, and general administrative rules, as
       well as a variety of publications of the National Association of Insurance
       Commissioners ("NAIC").  "Permitted" statutory accounting practices encompass
       all accounting practices that are not prescribed.  Such practices differ from
       state to state and company to company.



       The prescribed and permitted practices used by the Company in 2016 include the
       following:


        o       In 2006 Iowa issued a prescribed practice that instructs insurance
                companies to use other than market value for assets held in separate
                accounts where general account guarantees are present on such separate
                accounts. As a result, the Company carries the assets of the separate
                accounts related to its bank owned life insurance products at book value.


        o       In 2008 Iowa issued a prescribed practice that allows insurance companies
                to account for call option derivative assets that hedge the growth in
                interest credited to the hedged policy as a direct result of changes in the
                related indices at amortized cost. Other derivative instruments such as
                indexed futures, swaps and swaptions that may be used to hedge the growth
                in interest credited to the policy as a direct result of changes in the
                related indices would still be accounted for at fair value since an
                amortized cost for these instruments does not exist. As a result, the
                Company elected to establish a voluntary reserve to offset increases in the
                values of these other derivative instruments. The prescribed practice also
                provides guidance to determine indexed annuity reserve calculations based
                on the Guideline 35 Reserve assuming the market value of the call option(s)
                associated with the current index term is zero, regardless of the
                observable market for such option(s). At the conclusion of the index term,
                credited interest is reflected in the reserve as realized, based on actual
                index performance. The Company adopted this prescribed practice in 2008.


        o       In 2015 Iowa issued a prescribed practice that allows insurance companies
                domiciled in Iowa to use the Annuity 2000 mortality table for determining
                the minimum standard of valuation for annuities issued on or after January
                1, 2015. NAIC Accounting requires the 2012 IAR Mortality Table for
                determining the minimum standard of valuation for annuities issued during
                2015.


        The combined effect of applying these prescribed practices in 2016 decreased
        the Company's statutory-based surplus by $76,010.  The risk-based capital
        excluding the effect of these prescribed practices would not have resulted in a
        regulatory trigger event.


        The state of Iowa statue allows limited  purpose  captive  insurance  companies to
        assume  certain  redundant  insurance  reserves.  Solberg  Re and  MNL  Re  assume
        redundant  reserves  from  Midland  National and North  American  that are secured
        by   an   LOC   and   contingent    note   guarantee   that   provided    combined
        statutory-based  surplus  relief of  $1,537,145  and  $1,442,753  at December  31,
        2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.


        Generally,  the net assets of an Iowa domiciled  insurance  company  available for
        distribution  to its  stockholders  are  limited  to the  amounts by which the net
        assets, as determined in accordance with statutory  accounting  practices,  exceed
        minimum regulatory  statutory capital  requirements.  All payments of dividends or
        other  distributions  to  stockholders  are subject to  notification of regulatory
        authorities.   The  maximum   amount  of  dividends   that  can  be  paid  by  the
        Company  during  any  12-month   period,   without  prior  approval  of  the  Iowa
        insurance  commissioner,  is limited  according to statutory  regulations and is a
        function of  statutory  equity and  statutory  income  (generally,  the greater of
        prior  year  statutory-basis  net gain from  operations  or 10% of prior  year-end
        statutory-basis  surplus).  The  Company  paid  dividends  of  $202,518,  $123,880
        and  $369,252  in 2016,  2015 and 2014,  respectively.  Dividends  payable in 2017
        up to  approximately  $309,912  will not  require  prior  approval  of  regulatory
        authorities.


        The  statutory  net gain  from  operations  of the  Company  for the  years  ended
        December  31,  2016,   2015  and  2014,  was  $512,412,   $369,903  and  $258,889,
        respectively,  and  reported  surplus at December  31,  2016,  2015 and 2014,  was
        $3,099,125,   $2,856,992  and   $2,794,217,   respectively,   in  accordance  with
        statutory accounting principles.

        $606,690 at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

        The  Company  is  party  to two  coinsurance  agreements  with  GLAC.  See Note 11
        for further discussion of these transactions.

        The   Company   pays  fees  to  an   affiliate   of   Guggenheim   for   providing
        administrative  services  for the SRS mutual fund and variable  annuity  products.
        The  Company  incurred  expense  of  $5,902,  $3,297  and  2,569  to  the  service
        company for  processing  and  administration  of the  products  in 2016,  2015 and

19.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


        The Company  has, in the normal  course of  business,  claims and  lawsuits  filed
        against  it. In some  cases the  damages  sought  are  substantially  in excess of
        contractual  policy  benefits.  The Company  believes  these claims and  lawsuits,
        either  individually  or in aggregate,  will not  materially  affect the Company's
        financial position or results of operations.


        At  December  31,  2016,  the  Company  had  outstanding  capital  commitments  to
        limited partnerships of $348,539.


        Under  insurance  guaranty fund laws,  in most states  insurance  companies  doing
        business therein can be assessed up to prescribed  limits for policyholder  losses
        incurred   by   insolvent   companies.   The  Company   does  not   believe   such
        assessments will be materially  different from amounts already provided for in the
        consolidated  financial statements.  Most of these laws do provide,  however, that
        an  assessment  may be excused or deferred if it would  threaten an insurer's  own
        financial strength.


20.     SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

        The  Company  evaluated   subsequent  events  through  March  30,  2017  which  is
        the date the  consolidated  financial  statements  were  available  to be  issued.
        There were no  subsequent  event  transactions  that  required  disclosure  in the
        consolidated financial statements.

                                Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Board of Directors of Midland National Life Insurance Company and the Policyowners of Midland National Life
Insurance Company Separate Account C

In our opinion, for each of the subaccounts of Midland National Life Insurance Company Separate Account C
indicated in the table below, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, and the related statements of
operations and of changes in net assets present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of
the subaccounts of Midland National Life Insurance Company Separate Account C as of the date indicated in the
table, and the results of each of their operations and the changes in their net assets for each of the periods
indicated in the table, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the management of Midland National Life Insurance Company.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.  We conducted our
audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (placecountry-regionUnited 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 includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities as of December 31,
2016 by correspondence with underlying fund management, provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

        Effective December 31, 2016, Eaton Vance Corporation acquired the assets of Calvert Investment
        Management, Inc.  The announcement of acquisition was done on October 21, 2016.


        Fair Value
        Investments in shares of the Funds are valued at the net asset values (fair values) of the respective
        portfolios of the Funds corresponding to the investment portfolios of the Separate Account.  Investment
        transactions are recorded on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed).  Dividends are
        automatically reinvested in shares of the Funds.


        Current accounting standards define fair value as based on an exit price, which is the price that would be
        received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
        participants at the measurement date.  The fair value standards also establish a hierarchal disclosure
        framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring financial
        instruments at fair value.  Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type
        of instrument and the characteristics specific to the instrument.  Financial instruments with readily
        available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally
        will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair
        value.


        The Company determines the fair value of its investments, in the absence of observable market prices, using
        the valuation methodologies described below applied on a consistent basis. For some investments, market
        activity may be minimal or nonexistent and management's determination of fair value is then based on the
        best information available in the circumstances and may incorporate management's own assumptions, which
        involves a significant degree of judgment.


        Financial instruments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following
        categories.


        Level 1 - Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical financial instruments as of the
        reporting date. The types of financial instruments included in Level 1 are mutual funds.  As required by the
        fair value measurements guidance, the Company does not adjust the quoted price for these financial
        instruments, even in situations where it holds a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted
        price.


        Level 2 - Fair values are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active and inactive
        markets.  Inactive markets involve few transactions for similar assets or liabilities and the prices are not
        current or price quotations vary substantially over time or among market makers, which would include some
        broker quotes.  Level 2 inputs also include corroborated market data such as interest rate spreads, yield
        curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks and default rates.  The Company does not hold any Level
        2 securities in the Separate Account.


        Level 3 - Pricing inputs are unobservable for the financial instrument and include situations where there is
        little, if any, market activity for the financial instrument.  These inputs may reflect the Company's
        estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing the financial instruments.  The
        Company does not hold any Level 3 securities in the Separate Account.


        In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value
        hierarchy. In such cases, a financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the
        lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  The assessment of the significance
        of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors
        specific to the financial instrument.


        At December 31, 2016, the Company's investments were classified as follows:


                                                 Quoted prices           Significant
                                                   in active                other             Significant
                                                  markets for            observable          unobservable

Mutual Funds                                    $ 1,060,792,945               $ -                 $ -         $1,060,792,945



        It is the Company's policy to recognize transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period.  There
        were no transfers between levels for the year ended December 31, 2016.

        The first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method is used to determine realized gains and losses on investments.
        Dividend and capital gain distributions are recorded as income on the ex-dividend date.

        The operations of the Separate Account are included in the federal income tax return of the Company.  Under
        the provisions of the policies, the Company has the right to charge the Separate Account for federal income
        tax attributable to the Separate Account.  No charge is currently being made against the Separate Account for
        such tax since, under current law, the Company pays no tax on investment income and capital gains reflected
        in variable annuity policy reserves.  However, the Company retains the right to charge for any federal income
        tax incurred which is attributable to the Separate Account if the law is changed.  Charges for state and local
        taxes, if any, attributable to the Separate Account may also be made.


        New and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
        In August 2014, the FASB issued Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40):
        Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern or ASU 2014-15.  This
        guidance requires an entity's management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that, considered
        in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one
        year after the date that the financial statements are issued.  It also requires disclosures under certain
        circumstances.  The guidance is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual
        periods and interim periods thereafter.  Early application is permitted.  Implementation of the ASU will not
        affect the Variable Account's financial position or results of operations.  The Variable Account adopted the
        standard on December 31, 2016


        Use of Estimates
        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
        management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
        disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
        amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those
        estimates.


        Related Party Transactions
        The Guggenheim Variable Insurance Funds and the Rydex Variable Trust Funds are managed by indirect
        affiliates of the Company.  The sponsor company, Midland National Life Insurance Company, pays fees to an
        affiliate of Guggenheim for providing administrative services on certain variable annuity products.

        o       A contract administration fee is charged to cover the Company's record keeping and other
                administrative expenses incurred to operate the Separate Account. This fee is allocated to the

                to the total net asset value of the Separate Account.


        o       A mortality and expense risk fee is charged in return for the Company's assumption of risks

                policies issued. This fee is charged directly to the individual portfolios of the Funds based on
                the net asset value of the portfolio.


        o       A transfer charge is imposed on each transfer between portfolios of the Separate Account in
                excess of a stipulated number of transfers in any one contract year. A deferred sales charge may

5.      Financial Highlights

        The Company sells a number of variable annuity insurance products which have unique combinations of
        features and fees that are charged against the contract owner's account balance.  Differences in the fee
        structures result in a variety of unit values, expense ratios and total returns.


        The following table was developed by determining which products offered by the Company have the lowest
        and highest total return.  Only product designs within each portfolio that had units outstanding during the
        respective periods were considered when determining the lowest and highest total return.  The summary may
        not reflect the minimum and maximum contract charges offered by the Company as contract owners may not
        have selected all available and applicable contract options.

          *    The Investment Income Ratio represents the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains,
               received by the portfolio, net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by the
               average net assets.  This ratio excludes those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that
               result in direct reductions in the unit values.  The recognition of investment income is affected by
               the timing of the declaration of dividends.


          **   The Expense Ratio represents the annualized contract expenses of each portfolio within the Separate
               Account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated.  The ratios
               include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values.  Charges made directly to
               contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying fund are
               excluded.


          ***  The Total Return is calculated as the change in the unit value of the underlying portfolio, and
               reflects deductions for all items included in the expense ratio.  The total return does not include any
               expenses assessed through the redemption of units; inclusion of these expenses in the calculation
               would result in a reduction in the total return presented.  For newly introduced portfolios, the total
               return for the first year is calculated as the percentage change from inception to the end of the
               period.


          **** The Total Return noted relate to partial year total return for the Sammons Retirement Solutions
               LiveWell Variable Annuity with Value Endorsement that became available July 30, 2014.


6.      Diversification Requirements


        Under the provisions of Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the Code), a variable life
        insurance policy, other than a policy issued in connection with certain types of employee benefit plans, will
        not be treated as a life insurance policy for federal tax purposes for any period for which the investment of
        the segregated asset account, on which the policy is based, are not adequately diversified.  The Code
        provides that the "adequately diversified" requirement may be met if the underlying investments satisfy either
        a statutory safe harbour test or diversification requirements set forth in regulations issued by the Secretary
        of the Treasury.


        The Internal Revenue Service has issued regulations under Section 817(h) of the Code.  Midland National Life
        believes, based on assurances from the Funds, that the Separate Account C satisfies the current
        requirements of the regulations.

    Midland National Life Insurance Company indemnifies actions against all officers, directors, and employees to the full extent permitted by Iowa law.  This includes any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative.  Such indemnification includes expenses, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement of such actions, suits, or proceedings.

    With reference to the Registration Statement for Midland National Life Separate Account C filed on Form N-4 (File number 333-176870 Post-Effective Amendment No. 11) with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering flexible premium deferred variable annuity policies, I have examined such documents and such law as I considered necessary and appropriate, and on the basis of such examination, it is my opinion that:

     

    1.      Midland National Life Insurance Company is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Iowa and has been duly authorized to issue individual flexible premium deferred variable annuity contracts by the Department of Insurance of the State of Iowa.

     

    2.      The Midland National Life Insurance Company Separate Account C is a duly authorized and existing separate account established pursuant to the provisions of the Iowa Statutes.

     

    3.      The flexible premium deferred variable annuity contracts, when issued as contemplated by said Form N-4 Registration Statement, will constitute legal, validly issued and binding obligations of Midland National Life Insurance Company.

     

    I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an Exhibit to said Form N-4 Registration Statement.

     

    Sincerely,
