This prospectus describes individual flexible premium survivorship variable universal life insurance policies issued by New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation (“NYLIAC”). In this prospectus, the words “we,” “our” or “us” refer to NYLIAC and the words “you” or “your” refer to the policyowner. These policies offer life insurance protection on two insureds, with a life insurance benefit payable when the last surviving insured dies while the policy is in effect. Series 1 policies were offered for sale prior to May 10, 2002 and Series 2 policies were offered for sale commencing in states where approved on May 10, 2002. Both Series 1 and Series 2 policies are no longer being offered. However, we will still accept additional premiums under existing policies. Unless otherwise indicated, all information in this prospectus applies to both series of policies.

If you already own a life insurance policy, it may not be to your advantage to replace your policy with the policy described in this prospectus. And, it may not be to your advantage to borrow money to purchase this policy or to take withdrawals from another policy you own to make premium payments under this policy.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has not approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. Policies have risks including risk of loss of the amount invested. Policies are not deposits of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are not federally insured by the FDIC, Federal Reserve Board, or any other agency.

This life insurance policy is not considered an offering in any jurisdiction where such an offering may not be lawfully made. We do not authorize any information or representations regarding the offering described in this prospectus and the Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”) other than as contained in these materials or any attached supplements to them, or in any supplemental sales material we authorize.

SUMMARY OF BENEFITS AND RISKS

The following is a brief summary of certain features of NYLIAC Survivorship Variable Universal Life (“SVUL”). Many benefits of SVUL have a corresponding risk, and both benefits and risks should be considered before you purchase a policy. More complete and detailed information about these features is provided later in this prospectus and in the SAI.

Benefits

Protection

The policy offers you the protection of permanent life insurance that can, over time, become a valuable asset.

The policy provides permanent life insurance coverage on two insureds with a life insurance benefit payable when the last surviving insured dies. In addition this policy has the potential for tax-deferred Cash Value (as defined below) accumulation. Your premium payments, less any applicable deductions and charges, are added to the Investment Divisions, the Fixed Account and/or the DCA Plus Account according to your instructions. The Cash Value of the policy is based on:

 

   

the amount in and performance of each Investment Division of the Separate Account;

 

   

the amount in and rate of interest credited to the Fixed Account and/or the DCA Plus Account; and

 

   

the charges we deduct.

With the policy, you have the potential for higher rates of return and Cash Value accumulation than with a fixed rate life insurance policy.

Flexible Premiums

Policy premium payments are flexible; you can select the time and amount of premium you pay, within limits. Other than the required initial minimum premium payment, premium payments can vary depending on individual policy specifics (age, gender, coverage amount, underwriting classification). As long as the Net Cash Value is sufficient to cover the policy’s monthly deductions, you can increase, decrease, or stop making payments to meet your changing needs. See “Definitions” for an explanation of Net Cash Value.

Liquidity Through Loans

SVUL allows you to access your policy’s Cash Surrender Value through loans. Your policy value will be used as collateral to secure a policy loan. You can borrow up to 90% of your policy’s Cash Surrender Value.

Liquidity Through Withdrawals

You can also withdraw an amount up to the Cash Surrender Value of your policy. Partial withdrawals will reduce the policy’s Cash Value, Net Cash Value and your Life Insurance Benefit. We will not allow a partial withdrawal for an amount that would cause your policy to fall below the policy’s minimum Face Amount. Certain charges will apply. Partial withdrawals can result in a taxable event. Also note that certain partial withdrawal requests must be made in writing and sent to NYLIAC’s Variable Products Service Center (“VPSC”) at one of the addresses listed on the first page of this prospectus. (See “Partial Withdrawals and Surrenders—Partial Withdrawals.”)

Investment Division Options

This policy offers you a choice of 40 Investment Divisions, the Fixed Account and the DCA Plus Account. You can choose a maximum of 21 investment options for the allocation of net premium payments or for the transfer of Cash Value from among the available Investment Divisions, the Fixed Account, and/or the DCA Plus Account. You can transfer all or part of the Cash Value of your policy among Investment Divisions and the Fixed Account tax-free, within the limits described in this prospectus. You can change the Investment Divisions in which you invest throughout the life of the policy.

 

4


Change the Amount of Coverage

With SVUL, while both insureds are alive, you may request an increase or decrease in the policy’s face amount within limits. In order to request a decrease of the policy’s Face Amount, you must send a written request in a form acceptable to us to VPSC at one of the addresses listed on the first page of this prospectus. (See “Changing the Face Amount of Your Policy.”) You may request an increase of the policy’s Face Amount by contacting your registered representative or by submitting a written request, in a form acceptable to us, to VPSC at one of the addresses listed on the first page of this prospectus. Increases are subject to underwriting and our approval. Contestability and Suicide provisions on any increased portion of coverage begin on the effective date of the increase. Increases in the Face Amount will also result in additional cost of insurance charges, a new surrender charge period applicable to the amount of the increase, and a new seven-year testing period for modified endowment contract status. Decreases in coverage can incur surrender charges.

Three Life Insurance Benefit Options

The policy offers different Life Insurance Benefit options. Series 1 policies offer two options; Series 2 policies offer three.

 

   

Option 1—a level benefit equal to your policy’s Face Amount.

 

   

Option 2—a benefit that varies and equals the sum of your policy’s Face Amount and Cash Value.

 

   

Option 3 (Series 2 only)—a benefit that varies and equals the sum of your policy’s Face Amount and the Adjusted Total Premium.

Tax law provisions relating to “employer-owned life insurance contracts” may impact whether and to what extent the Life Insurance Benefit may be received on a tax-free basis. You may be required to take certain actions before acquiring the Policy in order to ensure that such Benefit may be received on a tax-free basis. See the discussion under “Federal Income Tax Considerations Life Insurance Status of Policy—IRC Section 101(j)—Impact on Employer-Owned Policies” for more information.

Automated Investment Features

The following administrative features are available to help you manage the policy’s Cash Value and to adjust the investment allocation to suit changing needs. These features are: Automatic Asset Reallocation, Dollar Cost Averaging, Dollar Cost Averaging Plus, Expense Allocation, and Interest Sweep.

Dollar Cost Averaging Plus

At policy issue, you may elect Dollar Cost Averaging Plus (“DCA Plus Account”) which allows you to set up dollar cost averaging using the DCA Plus Account when a premium payment during the first policy year is made.

Optional Riders

The policy offers additional insurance coverage and other benefits through several optional riders. Certain riders have costs associated with them.

Policyowner Support

As a policyowner, you have access to a password-protected Internet website, an automated 24-hour call-in service, toll-free telephone support, and your registered representative if you have questions about your SVUL policy. Certain service requests must be in writing. Specific requirements applicable to any service request are described later in this prospectus.

A Highly-Rated Company

New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation (“NYLIAC”) is a subsidiary of New York Life Insurance Company (“NYLIC”). NYLIC has more than 160 years of experience in the offering of insurance products. NYLIAC is a highly-rated insurer. Ratings reflect only NYLIAC’s General Account, are applicable to the Fixed

 

5


Account and DCA Plus Account, and are not applicable to the Investment Divisions, which are not guaranteed. NYLIAC’s obligations under the policy are subject to its claims-paying ability, and are not backed or guaranteed by NYLIC.

Risks

Investment Risk

While a variable policy has the potential for a higher rate of return than with a fixed rate policy, investment returns on the assets in the Separate Account may decline in value, and you can lose principal. Each Investment Division has its own investment objectives and investment strategy. We do not guarantee the investment performance of the Investment Divisions, which involve varying degrees of risk. Your premium and cash value allocation choices should be consistent with your personal investment objective and your risk tolerance.

Risk of Lapse (especially on minimally-funded policies)

Your policy can lapse even if you pay all of the planned premiums on time. When a policy lapses, it has no value, and no benefits are paid upon the death of the last surviving insured. Your policy involves risks, including the potential risk of loss of the principal invested. Note that termination and lapse have the same meaning and effect throughout this prospectus.

A policy with a Net Cash Value just sufficient to cover monthly deductions and charges, or that is otherwise minimally funded, is more likely to be unable to maintain its Net Cash Value due to market fluctuation and other performance related risks. In addition, by paying only the minimum required monthly premium for the no lapse guarantee, you may forego the opportunity to build up significant Cash Value in the policy. When determining the amount of your planned premium payments, you should consider funding your policy at a level that has the potential to maximize the investment opportunities within your policy and to minimize the risks associated with market fluctuations.

Potential for Increased Charges

The actual charges deducted are current charges on your policy. However, we have the right to increase those charges at any time up to the amount shown in your policy as the guaranteed maximum charges. In addition, we may increase the amount we deduct as a federal or state premium tax charge to reflect changes in tax law. Actual charges will never exceed the stated guaranteed charges. (See “Table of Fees and Expenses” for more information.)

Risk of Lapse from Policy Loans

The larger the loan becomes relative to the policy’s Net Cash Value, the greater the risk that the policy’s remaining Net Cash Value will not be sufficient to support the policy’s charges and expenses, including any loan interest due, and the greater the risk of the policy lapsing. Any loan interest due on a policy anniversary that you do not pay will be charged against the policy as an additional loan. (See “Federal Income Tax Considerations—Modified Endowment Contract Status.”)

A loan, repaid or not, has a permanent effect on your Cash Value. The effect could be favorable, if the Investment Divisions earn less than the interest rate credited on the loan amount in the Fixed Account, or unfavorable, if the Investment Divisions earn more. The longer a loan is outstanding, the greater the effect on your Cash Value. If it is not repaid, the aggregate amount of the outstanding loan principal and any accrued interest will reduce the Policy Proceeds that might otherwise be paid.

Unless your policy qualifies as a modified endowment contract, policy loans are not taxable. However, if loans taken, including unpaid loan interest, exceed the premiums paid, a policy surrender or lapse will result in a taxable event for you. If a policy is a modified endowment contract, a loan may result in taxable income and penalty taxes to you.

 

6


Tax Risks

The section of this prospectus entitled “Federal Income Tax Considerations” describes a number of tax issues that may arise in connection with the policy. These risks include: (1) the possibility that the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) may interpret the rules that apply to variable life insurance contracts in a manner that could result in your being treated as the owner of your policy’s pro rata portion of the assets of the Separate Account; (2) the possibility that the IRS may take the position that the policy does not qualify as life insurance for tax purposes; (3) the possibility that, as a result of policy transactions, including the payment of premiums or increases or decreases in policy benefits, the policy may be treated as a modified endowment contract for federal income tax purposes, with special rules that apply to policy distributions, including loans; (4) in general, the possibility that the policy may not qualify as life insurance under the federal tax law after the younger insured becomes age 100 and that the owner may be subject to adverse tax consequences at that time; (5) whether and to what extent the Life Insurance Benefit may be received on a tax-free basis in the case of employer-owned life insurance contracts; (6) the possibility that the IRS may treat a loan as a taxable distribution, if there is no spread, or a very small spread between the interest rate charged on the loan and the interest rate credited on the loaned amount; and (7) the potential that corporate ownership of a policy may affect the owner’s exposure to the corporate alternative minimum tax.

Charges for Policy Surrender/Decreases in Coverage

During the first fifteen years of the policy or within fifteen years after you increase the face amount, surrender charges may apply. SVUL is designed to be long-term life insurance coverage. It is not suitable as a short-term investment vehicle.

Portfolio Risks

A discussion of the risks of allocating Cash Value to each of the Investment Divisions can be found in the corresponding Fund’s prospectus.

Potentially Harmful Transfer Activity

This policy is not designed as a vehicle for market timing. Accordingly, your ability to make transfers under the policy is subject to limitation if we determine, in our sole opinion, that the exercise of that privilege may disadvantage or potentially hurt the rights or interests of other policyowners. We have limitations and restrictions on transfer activity (see “Description of the Policy—Limits on Transfers” for more information). We cannot guarantee that these limitations and restrictions will be effective in detecting and preventing all transfer activity that could disadvantage or potentially hurt the rights or interests of other policyowners. Potentially harmful transfer activity could result in reduced performance results for one or more Investment Divisions, due to among other things:

 

   

portfolio management decisions driven by the need to maintain higher than normal liquidity or the inability to sustain an investment objective

 

   

increased administrative and Fund brokerage expenses

 

   

dilution of the interests of long-term investors.

An underlying Fund portfolio may reject any order from us if it suspects potentially harmful transfer activity, thereby preventing us from implementing your request for a transfer. (See “Description of the Policy—Limits on Transfers” for more information on the risks of frequent trading.)

1 Current Sales Expense Charge for premiums paid up to the Target Premium is reduced to 4% in Policy Years 11 and beyond.
2 Guaranteed Sales Expense Charge for premiums paid up to the Target Premium is reduced to 6.5% in Policy Years 11 and beyond.
3 Current Sales Expense Charge for premiums paid over the Target Premium is reduced to 0% in Policy Years 11 and beyond.
4 We will not deduct a surrender charge if:
   

We cancel the policy;

   

We pay proceeds upon the death of the last surviving insured;

   

We pay a required Internal Revenue Service minimum distribution;

   

you exercise the Policy Split Option; or

   

The policy is out of the surrender charge period.

5 The Surrender Charge Premium on the Policy Data Page varies by gender, issue age, and classification of the insureds as smoker or non-smoker. We will deduct a surrender charge that is equal to 20% of the Target Premium multiplied by a percentage that is based on the age of the younger Insured at the time the policy (or any face amount increase) is issued and the duration of that coverage from issue. For policies where the younger Insured is below age 85 at the time the policy (or any face amount increase) is issued, the percentage is equal to 100% in years 1-6, declining 10% each year until it equals 0% in Policy Year 16. For policies where the younger Insured is age 85 or above at the time the policy (or any face amount increase) is issued, the percentage is equal to 100% in years 1-4, declining 20% each year until it equals 0% in Policy Year 9. For a face amount decrease, the Surrender Charge is the difference between (1) and (2) where (1) is the Surrender Charge calculated on the original face amount, and (2) is the Surrender Charge on the new decreased face amount.
6 The formula for calculating this charge is as follows: [monthly contract charge for Policy Year 1 – monthly contract charge for subsequent Policy Years] x [Monthly Deduction Days between surrender date and first anniversary of the Policy Date]

MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATION

INSURER

New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation (“NYLIAC”)

(a wholly-owned subsidiary of New York Life Insurance Company)

51 Madison Avenue

New York, NY 10010

YOUR POLICY

SVUL was offered by NYLIAC. The policy has two series (Series 1 and Series 2) that are no longer offered for sale. However, we still accept additional premiums under existing policies. Policy assets allocated to the Investment Divisions are invested in the NYLIAC Variable Universal Life Separate Account-I (the “Separate Account”), which has been in existence since June 4, 1993. Both Series 1 and Series 2 of the policy offer life insurance protection, a choice of Life Insurance Benefit options, flexible premium payments, changes in the face amount of the policy, loans, withdrawals and face amount decreases (which may be subject to a surrender charge), and the ability to invest in up to 21 investment options, including the Investment Divisions,

 

15


the Fixed Account, and/or the DCA Plus Account. The DCA Plus Account was only available for new sales of Series 2.

The policies are variable. This means that the Cash Value will fluctuate based on the investment experience of the Investment Divisions you select. The interest credited on the money allocated to the Fixed Account and the DCA Plus Account may also vary. NYLIAC does not guarantee the investment performance of the Separate Account or of the Eligible Portfolios. You bear the entire investment risk with respect to amounts allocated to the Investment Divisions of the Separate Account. We offer no assurance that the investment objectives of the Investment Divisions will be achieved. Accordingly, amounts allocated to the Investment Divisions of the Separate Account are subject to the risks inherent in the securities markets and, specifically, to price fluctuations in the Eligible Portfolios’ investments.

State Variations

Certain provisions of the policies may differ from the general description in this prospectus, and certain riders and options may not be available because of legal requirements or restrictions in your state. See your policy for specific variations, because any such state variations will be included in your policy, or in riders or endorsements attached to your policy. See your registered representative or contact us for specific information that may be applicable to your state. Also, see the section on “State Variations” for a summary of state variations.

ABOUT THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT

NYLIAC Variable Universal Life Separate Account-I (the “Separate Account”) is a segregated asset account that NYLIAC has established to receive and invest your net premiums. NYLIAC established the Separate Account on June 4, 1993 under the laws of the State of Delaware, in accordance with resolutions set forth by the NYLIAC Board of Directors. The Separate Account is registered as a unit investment trust with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). This registration does not mean that the SEC supervises the management, investment practices, or policies of the Separate Account.

Although the assets of the Separate Account belong to NYLIAC, these assets are held separately from the other assets of NYLIAC, and under applicable insurance law cannot be charged for liabilities incurred in any other business operations of NYLIAC (except to the extent that assets in the Separate Account exceed the reserves and other liabilities of the Separate Account). These assets are not subject to the claims of our general creditors. The income, capital gains, and capital losses incurred on the assets of the Separate Account are credited to or are charged against the assets of the Separate Account without regard to income, capital gains, and capital losses arising out of any other business NYLIAC may conduct. Therefore, the investment performance of the Separate Account is entirely independent of the investment performance of NYLIAC’s Fixed Account or DCA Plus Account, and the performance of any other separate account of NYLIAC.

The Separate Account currently consists of 40 Investment Divisions available under the policy. After the end of the Free Look period, net premium payments allocated to the Investment Divisions are invested exclusively in the corresponding Eligible Portfolios of the Funds.

OUR RIGHTS

We may take certain actions relating to our operations and the operations of the Separate Account. We will take these actions in accordance with applicable laws, including obtaining any required approval of the SEC and any other required regulatory approvals. If necessary, we will seek approval of our policyowners.

Specifically we reserve the right to:

 

   

add or remove any Investment Division;

 

   

create new separate accounts;

 

   

combine the Separate Account with one or more other separate accounts;

 

   

operate the Separate Account as a management investment company under the 1940 Act or in any other form permitted by law;

 

16


   

deregister the Separate Account under the 1940 Act;

(See the SAI for more information.)

THE FIXED ACCOUNT AND THE DCA PLUS ACCOUNT

The Fixed Account and DCA Plus Account are supported by the assets in our General Account, which includes all of our assets except those assets specifically allocated to separate accounts. These assets are subject to the claims of our general creditors. We can invest the assets of the Fixed Account and DCA Plus Account however we choose, within limits. Your interest in the Fixed Account and DCA Plus Account is not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and the Fixed Account and DCA Plus Account are not registered as investment companies under the 1940 Act. Therefore, generally you do not have the benefits and protections of these statutes for amounts allocated to the Fixed Account or the DCA Plus Account.

18


NYLIAC does not permit current or former Registered Representatives to obtain authorization to effect policy transactions through the Telephone Request Form. Authorization to these Registered Representatives will be limited to accessing policy information only.

Registered Representative Actions

You may authorize us to accept electronic instructions from your registered representative or the registered service assistant assigned to your policy to make premium allocations, transfers among investment options, Automatic Asset Allocation (“AAR”) updates (if applicable) and changes to your investment objective and/or risk tolerance. Your AAR will be cancelled if a premium allocation change or fund transfer is submitted on your behalf and the AAR is not also modified at the time to be consistent with your fund transfer and premium allocation changes.

To authorize a registered representative or registered service assistant assigned to your policy to make premium allocations and transfers, you must send a completed Trading Authorization Form to VPSC at one of the addresses noted on the first page of this Prospectus. We may revoke or deny Trading Authorization privileges for certain policyowners (See “Description of the Policy—Limits on Transfers”). Trading Authorization may be elected, changed or cancelled at any time. We will confirm all transactions in writing. Not all transactions are available on the Internet.

NYLIAC is not liable for any loss, cost or expense for acting on instructions which are believed to be genuine in accordance with the procedures. As these parties act on your behalf, you are responsible for and bear the consequences of their instructions and actions, including limits on transfers.

FUNDS AND ELIGIBLE PORTFOLIOS

The Portfolios of each Fund eligible for investment, along with their advisers and investment objectives, are listed in the following table. For more information about each of these Portfolios, please read the prospectuses found in the accompanying book of underlying fund prospectuses.

The Fund’s prospectus should be read carefully before any decision is made concerning the allocation of premium payments to an Investment Division corresponding to a particular Eligible Portfolio.

We receive payments or compensation from the Funds or their investment advisers, or from other service providers of the Funds (who may be affiliates of NYLIAC) in connection with administration, distribution and other services that We provide with respect to the Eligible Portfolios and their availability through the policies. These payments may be derived, in whole or in part, from the advisory fee charged by the Fund and deducted from Fund assets. NYLIAC may use these payments for any corporate purpose, including payment of expenses that NYLIAC and/or its affiliates incur in administering the Policies, and in its role as an intermediary of the Funds. Policyowners, through their indirect investment in the Funds, bear the costs of these advisory fees.

The amounts We receive may be substantial, may vary by Eligible Portfolio, and may depend on how much policy value is invested in the particular Eligible Portfolio or Fund. NYLIAC and its affiliates may profit from these payments. Currently, We receive payments or revenue under various arrangements in amounts ranging from 0.05% to 0.35% annually of the aggregate net asset value of the shares of some of the Eligible Portfolios held by the Investment Divisions. The compensation that your Registered Representative receives remains the same regardless of which Investment Divisions you choose or the particular arrangements applicable to those Investment Divisions.

NYLIAC does not provide investment advice and does not recommend or endorse any particular Eligible Portfolio or Portfolios. NYLIAC is not responsible for choosing the Investment Divisions or the amounts allocated to each. You are responsible for determining that these decisions are appropriate for your own individual circumstances and your investment goals, financial situation, and risk tolerance. Decisions regarding investment allocations should be carefully considered. You bear the risk of any decline in the value of your policy resulting from the performance of the Portfolios you have chosen.

Investment selections should be based on a thorough investigation of all of the information regarding the Eligible Portfolios that is available to you, including each Fund’s prospectus, statement of additional information, and annual and semi-annual reports. Other sources, such as the Fund’s website or newspapers and financial and other magazines, provide more current information, including information about any regulatory actions or investigations relating to a Fund or Eligible Portfolio. After you select Investment Divisions for your initial premium, you should monitor and periodically re-evaluate your allocations to determine if they are still appropriate.

The Investment Divisions invest in the corresponding Eligible Portfolios. You can choose a maximum of 21 investment options for net premium payments from the 40 Investment Divisions, the Fixed Account, and/or the DCA Plus Account.You can transfer all or part of the Cash Value of your policy among the investment options tax-free and within the limits described in this prospectus.

The Investment Divisions offered through the SVUL policies and described in this prospectus and the SAI are different and may have different investment performance from mutual funds that may have similar names, the same adviser, the same investment objective and policies, and substantially similar portfolio securities.

INVESTMENT RETURN

The investment return of your policy is based on the accumulation units you have in each Investment Division of the Separate Account, the amount you have in the Fixed Account and DCA Plus Account, the investment experience of each Investment Division as measured by its actual net rate of return, and the interest rate we credit on the amount you have in the Fixed Account and/or DCA Plus Account.

The investment experience of an Investment Division of the Separate Account reflects increases or decreases in the net asset value of the shares of the corresponding Eligible Portfolio, any dividend or capital gains distributions, and any charges against the assets of the Investment Division. We determine this investment experience from the end of one Valuation day to the end of the next Valuation day.

We will credit any amounts in the Fixed Account and DCA Plus Account with a fixed interest rate that we declare periodically, in advance, and at our sole discretion. This rate will never be less than an annual rate of 4%. We may credit different interest rates to loaned and unloaned amounts in the Fixed Account and DCA Plus Account. All net premiums applied to the Fixed Account and DCA Plus Account, and amounts transferred to the Fixed Account, receive the applicable loaned amount rate or the unloaned amount rate in effect on the Business Day we receive the premium payment. Interest rates for subsequent premium payments into the Fixed Account and DCA Plus Account may be different from the rate applied to prior premium payments made into the Fixed Account or DCA Plus Account. Interest accrues daily and is credited on each Monthly Deduction Day.

VOTING

We will vote the shares that the Investment Divisions of the Separate Account hold in the Eligible Portfolios at any regular and special shareholder meetings of the Funds. We will vote these shares according to the instructions we receive from our policyowners who have invested their premiums in Investment Divisions that invest in the Fund holding the meeting. However, if the law changes to allow us to vote the shares in our own right, we may decide to do so.

While your policy is in effect, you can provide voting instructions to us for each Investment Division in which you have assets. The number of votes you are entitled to will be determined by dividing the units you have invested in an Investment Division by the net asset value per unit for the Eligible Portfolio underlying that Investment Division.

 

22


We will determine the number of votes you are entitled to on the date established by the underlying Fund for determining shareholders that are eligible to vote at the meeting of the relevant Fund. We will send you voting instructions prior to the meeting according to the procedures established by the Fund. We will send proxy material, reports, and other materials relating to the Fund to each person having a voting interest.

We will vote the Fund shares for which we do not receive timely instructions in the same proportion as the shares for which we receive timely voting instructions. As a result, because of proportional voting, a small number of policyowners may control the outcome of the vote. We will use voting instructions to abstain from voting on an item to reduce the number of votes eligible to be cast.

CHARGES ASSOCIATED WITH THE POLICY

As with all life insurance policies, certain charges apply when you purchase the policy. The following is a summary explanation of these charges. (See “Additional Information About Charges” in the SAI for more information.)

DEDUCTIONS FROM PREMIUM PAYMENTS

When we receive a premium payment from you, whether planned or unplanned, we will deduct a sales expense charge and a state premium tax charge. If your policy is a Non-Qualified Policy, we will deduct a federal tax charge as well.

SALES EXPENSE CHARGE

 

   

Target Premium—From any premium payment we deduct a sales expense charge based on your policy’s Target Premium. Your initial Target Premium is set at the time your policy is issued. You can find this initial Target Premium on the Policy Data Page of your policy. Your Target Premium will be adjusted only if you change the Face Amount of your policy.

 

   

Current—In each of Policy Years 1-10, we currently deduct an annual sales expense charge of 8.00% of premium payments up to the Target Premium. In each of Policy Years 11 and subsequent, we currently deduct 4.00% of premium payments up to the Target Premium. Once premiums equal to the Target Premium for a given Policy Year have been paid (the “Annual Target Premium Threshold”), we deduct a sales expense charge of 4.00% from any additional premiums paid in Policy Years 1-10, with no sales expense charges deducted from any such additional premiums paid in Policy Years 11 and subsequent.

 

   

Guaranteed—We can change the amount of the sales expense charge at any time, but in each of Policy Years 1-10 we guarantee that the charge we deduct will never exceed: (1) 9% of any premium payments up to the Target Premium and (2) 6.50% of any premium payments over the Annual Target Premium Threshold. In each of Policy Years 11 and subsequent, we guarantee that any annual sales expense charge we deduct will never exceed 6.50% of any premium paid.

 

   

Timing of Premium Payments—Because the amount of sales expense charge deducted is based on the Target Premium, the timing of premium payments may affect the amount of such charges actually deducted from your premium payments, both over time and in any given Policy Year. The examples below describe how current sales expense charges may vary for premium payments received during one policy year versus another.

 

       The amount of compensation received by your registered representative will vary depending on the amount of the sales expense charge deducted from your policy. Generally, higher amounts of sales expense charges will result in additional compensation to the registered representative.

 

   

Payments in Excess of Target Premium

 

      

As noted above, in any given Policy Year, once the premiums you paid exceed the Annual Target Premium Threshold, we deduct a reduced sales expense charge (4.00% vs. 8.00% for Policy Years 1-10, 4.00% vs. 0.00% for Policy Years 11 and subsequent) from additional premium payments made in that Policy Year. However, if those same premium payments are made in the following

 

23


 
  Policy Year, they would be counted as Target Premium and would once again be subject to the current sales expense charge of 8.00% (for Policy Years 1-10) or 4.00% (for Policy Years 11 and subsequent) up to the Target Premium for that Policy Year.

For example, for a policy with an anniversary of January 1 and a Target Premium of $1,000:

 

   

If, on December 1 of Policy Year 1, you make a $500 premium payment in excess of the Target Premium, we would deduct a reduced sales expense charge on that payment of $500 x .04 or $20.00.

 

   

If instead you make the same $500 premium payment on February 1 of Policy Year 2, we would deduct a current sales expense charge on that payment of $500 x 0.08 or $40.00. This premium payment would be ineligible for a reduced sales expense charge, as the Annual Target Premium Threshold for Policy Year 2 had not yet been met.

 

       The difference in current sales expense charges deducted on this payment—$20.00 versus $40.00—is due to the interaction between payment timing and the Target Premium. If the payment is made in the same Policy Year in which the Annual Target Premium Threshold has already been satisfied, it will be subject to lower sales expense charges than if made in a Policy Year in which the Annual Target Premium Threshold has not yet been met.

 

   

Effect of Step-Down in Sales Expense Charges at Policy Years 11 and Subsequent

 

       As noted above, because current sales expense charges step down from Policy Years 10 to 11, the timing of a premium payment during this period will affect the sales expense charges assessed for a given premium amount. For example, for a policy with a Target Premium of $1,000:

 

   

If you made an annual premium payment of $1,500 in Policy Year 10, the sales expense charge would be:

a) 8.00% of the premiums paid up to your Target Premium—$1,000 x 0.08 or $80.00; plus

b) 4.00% of the premiums paid in excess of your Target Premium—$500 x 0.04 or $20.00.

The total annual sales expense charge deducted in Policy Year 10 would be $100.00.

 

   

If instead you made the same annual premium payment of $1,500 in Policy Year 11, however, the sales expense charge would be:

a) 4.00% of the premiums paid up to your Target Premium—$1,000 x 0.04 or $40.

Because there would be no sales expense charge deducted on the premium paid in excess of your Target Premium, the total annual current sales expense charge deducted in Policy Year 11 would be $40.00.

 

       The difference in total annual current sales expense charges deducted—$100.00 versus $40.00 —is due to the reduced sales expense charge applicable to premiums paid in Policy Year 11 versus those paid in Policy Year 10.

As these two examples demonstrate, the timing of your premium payment may affect the amount of current sales expense charges that we will deduct from such payments. Consequently, you should carefully consider these issues in deciding in which Policy Year to make your premium payments.

STATE PREMIUM TAX CHARGE

 

   

Various states and jurisdictions impose a tax on premiums received by insurance companies: State premium tax rates vary from state to state and currently range from 0% to 3.5%. (The rate may be higher in certain U.S. possessions.) We currently deduct 2% of each premium payment you make, or $20 per $1,000 of premium, as a state premium tax charge. We may increase this charge to reflect changes in applicable law. This charge may not reflect the actual premium tax charged in your state. Our right to increase this charge is limited in some jurisdictions by law.

 

24


FEDERAL TAX CHARGE

 

   

For Non-Qualified Policies, we currently deduct 1.25% of each premium payment you make, or $12.50 per $1,000 of premium, as a federal tax charge. We may increase this charge to reflect changes in applicable law.

DEDUCTIONS FROM CASH VALUE

Each month, we will deduct a monthly contract charge, a cost of insurance charge, and a rider charge for the cost of any additional riders from your policy’s Cash Value. For Series 2, we will also deduct a Mortality and Expense Risk charge and a Separate Account administrative charge from the Separate Account Value. During the first three Policy Years, we will also deduct a charge per $1,000 of the current face amount of your policy, not including riders (for Series 2) or a charge per $1,000 of the initial face amount of your policy, not including riders (for Series 1). If you have elected the Expense Allocation feature, the policy charges will be deducted according to those instructions.

We will deduct these charges on the Monthly Deduction Day. The first Monthly Deduction Day will be the monthly anniversary of your Policy Date on or following the date we receive the initial premium payment. If the Policy Date is prior to the Issue Date, the deductions made on the first Monthly Deduction Day will cover the period from the Policy Date until the first Monthly Deduction Day.

MONTHLY CONTRACT CHARGE

On each Monthly Deduction Day, we will deduct a monthly contract charge to cover our costs for providing certain administrative services, including premium collection, record-keeping, processing claims, and communicating with policyowners.

Currently, we deduct a monthly contract charge of $60 per month from policies in their first Policy Year, and we expect to deduct $10 per month from policies in the second and subsequent years. While we can change the monthly contract charge at any time, we guarantee that we will never charge more than $62 per month for the monthly contract charge during the first Policy Year and $12 per month thereafter.

CHARGE FOR COST OF INSURANCE PROTECTION

On each Monthly Deduction Day, we will deduct a charge for cost of insurance protection from the Cash Value of your policy. This charge covers the cost of providing life insurance protection.

The cost of insurance charge is calculated by adding any applicable flat extra charge which might apply to certain insureds based on our underwriting to the monthly cost of insurance rate which applies to the insureds at that time and multiplying the result by the Net Amount at Risk on the Monthly Deduction Day. The Net Amount at Risk is based on the difference between the current Life Insurance Benefit of your policy divided by 1.00327 and the policy’s Cash Value. The Life Insurance Benefit varies based upon the Life Insurance Benefit Option chosen. Cash Value varies based on investment returns, any unpaid loans and accrued interest, charges, and premium payments. We calculate the cost of insurance separately for the initial face amount and for any increase in face amount. A different rate class (and therefore cost of insurance rate) may apply to the increase, based on the insureds’ ages and circumstances at the time of the increase.

We determine the initial rate of the monthly cost of insurance we apply to your policy based upon current underwriting. This determination is based on various factors including gender, underwriting class and issue age of both insureds and the Policy Year. We may change these rates from time to time, based on changes in future expectations of such factors as mortality, investment income, expenses, and persistency. The current cost of insurance rates, however, will never be more than the guaranteed maximum rates shown on the Policy Data Page. We base the guaranteed rates on the 1980 Commissioner’s Standard Ordinary Mortality Tables appropriate to each Insured’s underwriting class if the insureds are a standard underwriting class. Your cost of insurance charge may vary from month to month depending on changes in cost of insurance rates and the Net Amount at Risk. We expect to profit from this charge. Profits derived from this charge can be used for any corporate purpose.

 

25


MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE (Series 2 only)

We assume a mortality risk that the group of lives we have insured under our policies will not live as long as we expected. In addition, we assume an expense risk that the cost of issuing and administering the policies we have sold will be greater than we estimated. On each Monthly Deduction Day, we will deduct a Mortality and Expense Risk charge from the Separate Account Value to cover our Mortality and Expense Risk. We may use any profit derived from this charge for any corporate purpose, including any distribution expenses not covered by the sales expense charge.

 

   

Current—We currently deduct a monthly Mortality and Expense Risk charge that is equal to an annual rate of 0.60%, or $6 per $1,000, of the cash value in the Separate Account Value. If the charge is insufficient to cover actual costs and assumed risks, the loss will fall on NYLIAC. We expect to profit from this charge. We may use these funds for any corporate purpose, including expenses relating to the sale of the policies.

 

   

Guaranteed Maximum—We guarantee that the Mortality and Expense Risk charge will never exceed an annual rate of 0.90%, or $9 per $1,000, of the Separate Account Value.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE (Series 2 only)

We deduct an administrative charge each month equal to a percentage of the Separate Account Value as of each Monthly Deduction Day. This percentage will never exceed, on an annual basis, 0.10%, or $1 per $1,000, of the Separate Account Value.

CHARGE PER $1,000 OF THE CURRENT FACE AMOUNT (Series 2 only)

CHARGE PER $1,000 OF THE INITIAL FACE AMOUNT (Series 1 only)

On each Monthly Deduction Day, during the first three Policy Years, we will deduct $0.04 per $1,000 of your policy’s current face amount (for Series 2) or initial face amount (for Series 1), not including riders. This charge will always be at least $10 per month and will never be more than $100 per month. This charge will not be deducted in Policy Years 4 and beyond.

RIDER CHARGES

Each month, we deduct any applicable charges for any optional riders you have chosen. (For more information about specific charges, see “Table of Fees and Expenses.”)

Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Rider Charge: We will charge you an amount equal to $0.01 per $1,000 multiplied by the sum of your policy’s face amount and the face or benefit amount of any riders. In addition to that charge, a premium commitment is required to maintain this benefit; that premium amount is shown on the Policy’s Data Page.

First-to-Die Monthly Deduction Waiver Rider Charge: We will deduct a charge based on the present value of the future charges that we estimate may be waived under this rider and the cost of insurance rate for this rider.

Level First-to-Die Term Rider Charge: We will deduct a charge equal to the face amount of this rider multiplied by the cost of insurance rate for this rider.

Life Extension Rider Charge (Series 2 only): We will deduct a charge on each Monthly Deduction Day beginning on the policy anniversary when the younger insured is, or would have been, age 90, and ending when the younger insured is, or would have been, age 100. This charge will vary by gender, age, and underwriting class of each of the insureds.

Living Benefits Rider Charge: We do not deduct a charge for this rider until it is exercised. This rider is only available after the death of the first insured.

EXPENSE ALLOCATION

With the Expense Allocation feature, you choose how to allocate deductions policy expenses. These include the monthly cost of insurance charge, the monthly cost of any riders on the policy, the monthly contract charge, the Separate Account Administrative Charge (Series 2 only), a Mortality and Expense Risk charge (Series 2 only), and the charge per $1,000 of your policy’s Current Face Amount (Series 2 only) or of Initial Face Amount (Series 1 only), not including riders. You can instruct us at the time of the application and any time thereafter, to have expenses deducted from the Mainstay VP Cash Management Investment Division, the unloaned portion of the Fixed Account, or a combination of the two.

If the values in the MainStay VP Cash Management Investment Division and/or the unloaned portion of the Fixed Account are insufficient to pay these charges, we will deduct as much of the charges as possible. The remainder of the charges will be deducted proportionately from each of the Investment Divisions. If you do not instruct us as to how you would like the expenses allocated, these charges will be deducted proportionately from each of the Investment Divisions, including any unloaned portion of the Fixed Account and/or DCA Plus Account.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT CHARGES

MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE (Series 1 only)

We assume a mortality risk that the group of lives we have insured under our policies will not live as long as we expected. In addition, we assume an expense risk that the cost of issuing and administering the policies we have sold will be greater than we estimated. We deduct on a daily basis a Mortality and Expense Risk charge from each Investment Division to cover our Mortality and Expense Risk. We may use any profit derived from this charge for any corporate purpose, including any distribution expenses not covered by the sales expense charge.

 

   

Current—We currently deduct a daily Mortality and Expense Risk charge that is equal to an annual rate of 0.60%, or $6 per $1,000, of the average daily net asset value of each Investment Division. If the charge is insufficient to cover actual costs and assumed risks, the loss will fall on NYLIAC. We expect to profit from this charge. We may use these funds for any corporate purpose, including expenses relating to the sale of the policies.

 

   

Guaranteed Maximum—We guarantee that the Mortality and Expense Risk charge will never exceed an annual rate of 0.90%, or $9 per $1,000, of the average daily net asset value of each Investment Division.

ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE (Series 1 only)

We deduct on a daily basis an administrative charge from each Investment Division to cover the cost of providing administrative policy services. We deduct a daily administrative charge that is equal to an annual rate of 0.10% of the average daily net asset value of the Separate Account to cover these costs. This charge is designed not to produce a profit. We guarantee this charge will not increase.

CHARGES FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

We do not currently deduct a charge for federal income taxes from the Investment Divisions, although we may do so in the future to reflect possible changes in the law.

FUND CHARGES

Each Investment Division of the Separate Account purchases shares of the corresponding Portfolio at the net asset value. The net asset value reflects the investment advisory fees and other expenses that are deducted from the assets of the Portfolio by the relevant Fund. The advisory fees and other expenses are not fixed or specified under the terms of the policy and may vary from year to year. These fees and expenses are described in the Funds’ prospectuses. (See “Table of Fees and Expenses—Annual Portfolio Company Operating Expenses” for more information.)

TRANSACTION CHARGES

SURRENDER CHARGES

The Surrender Charge is in addition to the Sales Expense Charge. If you surrender your policy, or if you decrease the Face Amount of your policy (including a decrease in the Face Amount that results from changing the Life Insurance Benefit Option or from a partial withdrawal) during the first 15 Policy Years, or within 15 years after you increase the Face Amount, we will deduct a Surrender Charge. This charge is equal to 20% of the Target Premium multiplied by a percentage that is based on the age of the younger insured at the time the policy (or any face amount increase) is issued and the duration of that coverage from issue. For policies where the age of the younger Insured is below 85 at the time the policy (or any face amount increase) is issued, the percentage is 100% in years 1-6, declining 10% each year until it is 0% in Policy Year 16. For policies where the younger Insured is age 85 or above at the time the policy (or face amount increase) is issued, the percentage is 100% in years 1-4, declining 20% each year until it is 0% in year 9.

Example: Assume that a policy (a) has not had an increase in face amount, (b) has a Target Premium of $12,662, (c) is issued to a male insured age 55 (preferred) and a female insured age 50 (preferred) and (d) is surrendered in the third year after issue. The Surrender Charge for the policy would be $2,532.40 (i.e., (20% of $12,662) multiplied by 100%).

For additional information on surrender charges, including Surrender Charges after face amount increases and Surrender Charges on face amount decreases, please see the SAI.

FIRST-YEAR LAPSE/REINSTATEMENT CHARGE

In addition to the Surrender Charge described above, if you surrender your policy during the first Policy Year, we will deduct an additional charge from the Cash Surrender Value. This charge will also apply if the policy lapses during the first Policy Year and is reinstated subsequently. This charge will equal the difference between the monthly contract charge for the first Policy Year and the monthly contract charge for subsequent Policy Years, multiplied by the number of Monthly Deduction Days between the date of surrender/lapse and what would have been the first Policy Anniversary (or the date of reinstatement).

PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL CHARGE

In addition to any applicable surrender charges a partial withdrawal charge, not to exceed $25, may apply upon any partial withdrawal.

TRANSFER CHARGE

We currently do not charge for transfers made between Investment Divisions. However, we have a right to charge $30 per transfer for any transfer in excess of 12 in a Policy Year.

EXERCISE OF LIVING BENEFITS RIDER

A one-time charge of $150 will apply if you exercise the Living Benefits Rider.

LOAN CHARGES

We currently charge an effective annual loan interest rate of 6%. We may increase or decrease this rate but we guarantee that the rate will never exceed 8%. When you request a loan, a transfer of funds will be made from the Separate Account (or DCA Plus Account, if so requested) to the Fixed Account so that the Cash Value in the Fixed Account is at least 106% of the requested loan plus any outstanding loans, including accrued loan interest. This percentage will change in accordance with changes in loan interest rate, but will never exceed 108%.

When you take a loan against your policy, the loaned amount that we hold in the Fixed Account may earn interest at a different rate from the rate we charge you for loan interest. For the first 10 Policy Years, the rate we currently credit on loaned amounts is 1.00% less than the rate we charge for loan interest. Beginning in the eleventh Policy Year, the rate we currently credit on loaned amounts is 0.50% less than the rate we charge for

 

28


loan interest. The rate we credit on loaned amounts will never be less than 2.00% less than the rate we charge for policy loans. We guarantee that the interest rate we credit on loaned amounts will always be at least 4.00%. (See “Loans” for more information.)

DESCRIPTION OF THE POLICY

THE PARTIES

There are three important parties to the Policy: the policyowner or contract owner, the Insureds, and the beneficiary. One individual can have one or more of these roles. Each party plays an important role in a Policy.

POLICYOWNER: This person or entity can purchase and surrender a policy, and can make changes to it, such as:

 

   

increase/decrease the Face Amount

 

   

choose a different Life Insurance Benefit (except that a change cannot be made to Option 3)

 

   

choose/add/delete riders

 

   

change a beneficiary

 

   

choose/change underlying investment options

 

   

take a loan against or take a partial surrender from the Cash Surrender Value of the policy

The current policyowner (on Non-Qualified plans) has the right to transfer ownership to another party/entity. The person having the right to transfer the ownership of the policy must do so by using the Company’s approved “Transfer of Ownership” form in effect at the time of the request. Please note that the completed Transfer of Ownership form must be in a form acceptable to us and be sent to VPSC at one of the addresses listed on the first page of this prospectus. When the Company records the change, it will take effect as of the date the form was signed, subject to any payment made or other action taken by the Company before recording. Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who becomes the owner of an existing policy. This means the new policyowner will be required to provide their name, address, date of birth, and other identifying information. A transfer of ownership request also requires that the new policyowner(s) submit financial and suitability information as well. Purchasers of Qualified Policies should carefully consider the costs and benefits of the policy (such as the death benefit and rider benefits) before purchasing a policy because the tax-favored arrangement itself provides for tax deferral on any growth.

INSUREDS: These individuals’ personal information determines the cost of the life insurance coverage. The policyowner also may be the Primary Insured.

BENEFICIARY: The beneficiary is the person(s) or entity(ies) the policyowner specifies on our records to receive the proceeds from the policy. The policyowner may name his or her estate as the beneficiary.

Who is named as Policyowner and Beneficiary may impact whether and to what extent the Life Insurance Benefit may be received on a tax-free basis. See the discussion under “Federal Income Tax Considerations—Life Insurance Status of Policy—IRC Section 101(j)—Impact on Employer-Owned Policies” for more information.

THE POLICY

The policy provides life insurance protection on two Insureds, and pays Policy Proceeds when the last surviving Insured dies while the policy is in effect. The policy offers: (1) flexible premium payments where you decide the timing and amount of the payment; (2) a choice of three Life Insurance Benefit Options for Series 2 and two choices for Series 1; (3) access to the policy’s Cash Surrender Value through loans and partial withdrawal privileges (within limits); (4) the ability to increase or decrease the policy’s face amount of insurance (within limits); (5) additional benefits through the use of optional riders; and (6) a selection of premium and

 

29


expense allocation options, consisting of 40 Investment Divisions, a Fixed Account, and a DCA Plus Account with a guaranteed minimum interest rate of 4%. We will never declare a rate less than the guaranteed minimum Fixed Account interest rate stated on the Data Page of your policy. The guaranteed minimum interest rate for the DCA Plus Account will never be less than the guaranteed minimum interest rate for the Fixed Account.

Your policy will stay in effect as long as the Net Cash Value of your policy is sufficient to pay your policy’s monthly deductions. We will pay the designated beneficiary the Policy Proceeds if the policy is still in effect when the last surviving Insured dies.

Series 1 and 2 offer you a choice of either a level life insurance benefit equal to the face amount of your policy (option 1), or a life insurance benefit that varies and is equal to the sum of your policy’s face amount and Cash Value (option 2). If you choose Option 2, the life insurance benefit will increase or decrease depending on the performance of the investment options you select. However, your policy’s life insurance benefit will never be less than the Face Amount of your policy. In addition, Series 2 offers a third option of a life insurance benefit which varies and equals the sum of your policy’s face amount and the Adjusted Total Premium (option 3). The death benefit proceeds will be reduced by any outstanding loans and accrued loan interest.

HOW THE POLICY IS AVAILABLE

SVUL is available as a Non-Qualified or a Qualified Policy. We issue Qualified Policies on a unisex basis. Any reference in this prospectus that makes a distinction based on the gender of the insureds should be disregarded as it relates to Qualified policies.

POLICY PREMIUMS

Once you have purchased your policy, you can make premium payments as often as you like and for any amount you choose, within limits. Other than the initial premium, there are no required premium payments. However, you may be required to make additional premium payments to keep your policy from lapsing. The currently available methods of payment are: direct payments to NYLIAC, pre-authorized monthly deductions from your bank, a credit union or similar accounts and any other method agreed to by us. (See “Premiums” for more information.)

CASH VALUE

The Cash Value of your policy at any time is equal to the total value of your policy’s Accumulation Units in the Separate Account and any amount in the Fixed Account and/or the DCA Plus Account. This amount is allocated based on the instructions you give us. A number of factors affect your policy’s Cash Value, including, but not limited to:

 

   

the amount and frequency of the premium payments;

 

   

the investment experience of the Investment Divisions you choose;

 

   

the interest credited on the amount in the Fixed Account and/or the DCA Plus Account;

 

   

the amount of any partial withdrawals you make (including any charges you incur as a result of a withdrawal); and

 

   

the amount of charges we deduct.

The Cash Value is not necessarily the amount you receive when you surrender your policy. (See “Partial Withdrawals and Surrenders” for details about surrendering your policy.)

INVESTMENT DIVISIONS, THE FIXED ACCOUNT, AND THE DCA PLUS ACCOUNT

The balance of your premium payment after we deduct the premium charges is called your net premium. We allocate your net premium among your selected Investment Divisions available under the policy (See “Management and Organization—Funds and Eligible Portfolios” for our list of available Investment Divisions) the Fixed Account, and within limits the DCA Plus Account, based on your instructions. You can choose a

 

30


maximum of 21 investment options for net premium payments from among the 40 Investment Divisions, the Fixed Account, and/or the DCA Plus Account.

AMOUNT IN THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT

We use the amount allocated to an Investment Division to purchase accumulation units within that Investment Division. We redeem accumulation units from an Investment Division when amounts are loaned, withdrawn, transferred, surrendered, or deducted for charges or loan interest. We calculate the number of accumulation units purchased or redeemed in an Investment Division by dividing the dollar amount of the transaction by the Investment Division’s accumulation unit value. On any given day, the amount you have in the Separate Account is the value of the accumulation units you have in all of the Investment Divisions of the Separate Account. The value of the accumulation units you have in a given Investment Division equals the current accumulation unit value for the Investment Division multiplied by the number of accumulation units you hold in that Investment Division.

We determine accumulation unit values for the Investment Divisions as of the end of each Valuation Day.

AMOUNT IN THE FIXED ACCOUNT AND/OR DCA PLUS ACCOUNT

You can choose to allocate all or a part of your net premium payments to the Fixed Account and, within limits, to the DCA Plus Account. The amount you have in the Fixed Account and/or DCA Plus Account equals:

        (1) the sum of the net premium payments you have allocated to the Fixed Account and/or DCA Plus Account;

plus (2) any transfers you have made from the Separate Account to the Fixed Account (no transfers can be made into the DCA Plus Account);

plus (3) any interest credited to the Fixed Account and/or DCA Plus Account;

less (4) any amounts you have withdrawn from the Fixed Account and/or DCA Plus Account;

less (5) any charges we have deducted from the Fixed Account and/or DCA Plus Account;

less (6) any transfers you have made from the Fixed Account and/or DCA Plus Account to the Separate Account.

TRANSFERS AMONG INVESTMENT DIVISIONS, THE FIXED ACCOUNT AND THE DCA PLUS ACCOUNT

You can transfer all or part of the Cash Value of your policy (1) from the Fixed Account to the Investment Divisions of the Separate Account, (2) from the DCA Plus Account to the Investment Divisions of the Separate Account, (3) from the DCA Plus Account to the Fixed Account, (4) from the Investment Divisions of the Separate Account to the Fixed Account, or (5) between the Investment Divisions in the Separate Account. You cannot transfer any portion of the Cash Value of your policy from either the Investment Divisions of the Separate Account or from the Fixed Account to the DCA Plus Account. You may choose to allocate Cash Value to a maximum of 21 investment options, which include the 40 Investment Divisions, the Fixed Account and/or the DCA Plus Account.

You can request a transfer under the following conditions:

 

   

Maximum Transfer—The maximum amount you can transfer from the Fixed Account to the Investment Divisions during any Policy Year is 10% of the amount in the Fixed Account at the beginning of the Policy Year. This means, for example, if you have $10,000 in the Fixed Account, it will take you 16 years to transfer out the entire amount. If during any period the interest rate being credited to the Fixed Account is equal to the guaranteed rate shown on the Policy Data page, the maximum amount you can transfer from the Investment Divisions to the Fixed Account is 10% of the amount in the Separate Account at the beginning of the Policy Year. Transfers made in connection with DCA Plus will not count toward these maximum transfer limits.

 

   

Minimum Transfer—The minimum amount you can transfer from the Investment Divisions or the Fixed Account is the lesser of (i) $500 or (ii) the total amount in the Investment Divisions or the Fixed

 

31


 

Account. Minimum transfer limitations do not count on transfers made from DCA Plus to the Investment Divisions or the Fixed Account.

 

   

Minimum Remaining Value—If a transfer will cause the amount you have in the Investment Divisions or the Fixed Account to be less than $500, we will transfer the entire amount in the Investment Divisions and/or Fixed Account you have chosen.

 

   

Transfer Charge—We may impose a charge of up to $30 per transfer for each transfer after the first twelve in any Policy Year. We will deduct this charge from amounts in the Investment Divisions and amounts not held as collateral for a loan in the Fixed Account in proportion to amounts in these investment options. We will not count any transfer made in connection with the Dollar Cost Averaging, DCA Plus, Automatic Asset Reallocation, and Interest Sweep options as a transfer toward the twelve transfer limit.

 

   

How to request a transfer:

 

  (1) submit your request in writing on a form we approve to the Variable Products Service Center (“VPSC”) at one of the addresses listed on the first page of this prospectus (or any other address we indicate to you in writing);

 

  (2) use the Interactive Voice Response system at 1-800-598-2019;

 

  (3) speak to a customer service representative at 1-800-598-2019 on Business Days between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time; or

 

  (4) make your request through the Virtual Service Center (VSC).

Faxed requests are not acceptable and will not be honored at any time. In addition, we will not accept e-mailed requests or e-mails of imaged, signed requests.

Transfer requests received after the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a Business Day, or received on a non-Business Day, will be priced as of the next Business Day. (See “Management and Organization—Our Rights—How to Reach Us for Policy Services” for more information.)

LIMITS ON TRANSFERS

Procedures Designed to Limit Potentially Harmful Transfers—This policy is not intended as a vehicle for market timing. Accordingly, your ability to make transfers under the policy is subject to limitation if We determine, in our sole opinion, that the exercise of that privilege may disadvantage or potentially hurt the rights or interests of other policyowners.

Any modification of the transfer privilege could be applied to transfers to or from some or all of the Investment Divisions. If not expressly prohibited by the policy, we may, for example:

 

   

reject a transfer request from you or from any person acting on your behalf

 

   

restrict the method of making a transfer

 

   

charge you for any redemption fee imposed by an underlying Fund

 

   

limit the dollar amount, frequency or number of transfers.

Currently, if you or someone acting on your behalf requests either by telephone or electronically transfers into or out of one or more Investment Divisions on three or more days within any 60-day period, we will send you a letter notifying you that a transfer limitation has been exceeded. If we receive an additional transfer request that would result in transfers into or out of one or more Investment Divisions on three or more days within any 60-day period, We will process the transfer request. Thereafter, we will immediately suspend your ability to make transfers electronically and by telephone, regardless of whether you have received the warning letter. All subsequent transfer requests for your policy must then be made through the U.S. mail or an overnight courier and received by VPSC at one of the addresses listed on the first page of this prospectus. We will provide you with written notice when we take this action.

 

32


We currently do not include the following transfers in these limitations, although we reserve the right to include them in the future: transfers to and from the Fixed Account, the first transfer into the Investment Divisions at the expiration of the free look period, the first transfer out of the MainStay VP Cash Management Investment Division within six months of the issuance of a policy, and transfers made pursuant to the Dollar Cost Averaging, DCA Plus, Automatic Asset Reallocation, and Interest Sweep options.

We may change these limitations or restrictions or add new ones at any time without prior notice; your policy will be subject to these changes regardless of the Issue Date of your policy. All transfers are subject to the limits set forth in the prospectus in effect on the date of the transfer request, regardless of when your policy was issued. Note, also, that any applicable transfer rules, either as indicated above or that We may utilize in the future, will be applied even if we cannot identify any specific harmful effect from any particular transfer.

We apply our limits on transfers procedures to all owners of this policy without exception.

Orders for the purchase of Fund Portfolio shares are subject to acceptance by the relevant Fund. We will reject or reverse, without prior notice, any transfer request into an Investment Division if the purchase of shares in the corresponding Fund Portfolio is not accepted by the Fund for any reason. For transfers into multiple Investment Divisions, the entire transfer request will be rejected or reversed if any part of it is not accepted by any one of the Funds. We will provide you with written notice of any transfer request we reject or reverse. You should read the Fund prospectuses for more details regarding their ability to refuse or restrict purchases or redemptions of their shares. In addition, a Fund may require us to share specific policyowner transactional data with them, such as taxpayer identification numbers and transfer information.

Risks Associated with Potentially Harmful Transfers—Our procedures are designed to limit potentially harmful transfers. However, We cannot guarantee that our procedures will be effective in detecting and preventing all transfer activity that could disadvantage or potentially hurt the rights or interests of other policyowners. The risks described below apply to policyowners and other persons having material rights under the policies.

 

   

We do not currently impose redemption fees on transfers or expressly limit the number or size of transfers in a given period. Redemption fees, transfer limits, and other procedures or restrictions may be more or less successful than our procedures in deterring or preventing potentially harmful transfer activity.

 

   

Our ability to detect and deter potentially harmful transfer activity may be limited by policy provisions.

(1) The underlying Fund Portfolios may have adopted their own policies and procedures with respect to trading of their respective shares. The prospectuses for the underlying Fund Portfolios, in effect at the time of any trade, describe any such policies and procedures. The trading policies and procedures of an underlying Fund Portfolio may vary from ours and be more or less effective at preventing harm. Accordingly, the sole protection you may have against potentially harmful frequent transfers is the protection provided by the procedures described herein.

(2) The purchase and redemption orders received by the underlying Fund Portfolios reflect the aggregation and netting of multiple orders from owners of this policy and other variable policies issued by us. The nature of these combined orders may limit the underlying Fund Portfolios’ ability to apply their respective trading policies and procedures. In addition, if an underlying Fund Portfolio believes that a combined order we submit may reflect one or more transfer requests from policyowners engaged in potentially harmful transfer activity, the underlying Fund Portfolio may reject the entire order and thereby prevent us from implementing any transfers that day. We do not generally expect this to happen. Alternatively, Funds may request information on individual policyowner transactions and may impose restrictions on individual policyowner transfer activity.

 

   

Other insurance companies, which invest in the Fund Portfolios underlying this policy, may have adopted their own policies and procedures to detect and prevent potentially harmful transfer activity. The policies and procedures of other insurance companies may vary from ours and be more or less effective at preventing harm. If their policies and procedures fail to successfully discourage potentially

 

33


 

harmful transfer activity, there could be a negative effect on the owners of all of the variable policies, including ours, whose variable investment options correspond to the affected underlying Fund Portfolios.

 

   

Potentially harmful transfer activity could result in reduced performance results for one or more Investment Divisions, due to among other things:

 

  (1) an adverse effect on Portfolio management, such as:

 

  a) impeding a Portfolio manager’s ability to sustain an investment objective;

 

  b) causing the underlying Fund Portfolio to maintain a higher level of cash than would otherwise be the case; or

 

  c) causing an underlying Fund Portfolio to liquidate investments prematurely (or otherwise at an otherwise inopportune time) in order to pay withdrawals or transfers out of the underlying Fund Portfolio.

 

  (2) increased administrative and Fund brokerage expenses.

 

  (3) dilution of the interests of long-term investors in an Investment Division if purchases or redemptions into or out of an underlying Fund Portfolio are made when, and if, the underlying Fund Portfolio’s investments do not reflect an accurate value (sometimes referred to as “time-zone arbitrage” and “liquidity arbitrage”).

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS THROUGH RIDERS AND OPTIONS

You can apply for additional benefits by selecting one or more optional riders. Except for the Living Benefits Rider, which is available without any additional charge, you must select your riders when you apply for your policy. You can only elect the Living Benefits Rider after one of the Insureds has died. The Living Benefits Rider is only available on Non-Qualified Policies. Generally, all other riders are available on both Non-Qualified and Qualified Policies, provided they are available in your state of issue.

 

   

Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Rider: As long as this rider is in effect and the benefit period has not expired, this rider guarantees that your policy will not lapse even if the policy’s Cash Surrender Value is insufficient to cover the current monthly deduction charges. This rider requires that you make certain premium payments into your policy.

 

   

First-to-Die Monthly Deduction Waiver Rider: As long as this rider is in effect, we will waive your policy’s monthly deductions after the first Insured’s death for the remainder of time the policy is in force.

 

   

Level First-to Die Term Rider: This rider provides a level term insurance death benefit that we will pay when either Insured dies while this rider is in effect. We will only pay the benefit under this rider once, even if both Insureds die at the same time.

 

   

Life Extension Benefit Rider (for Series 2): This rider becomes effective on the policy anniversary on which the younger Insured is, or would have been, age 100 and provides that the life insurance benefit will continue to be equal to the Life Insurance Benefit of the policy. The federal income tax treatment of a life insurance policy is uncertain after the insured is age 100. See “Federal Income Tax Considerations” for more information.

 

   

Living Benefits Rider (also known as Accelerated Benefits Rider in most jurisdictions): Under this rider, if the last surviving Insured has a life expectancy of 12 months or less, you can request a portion or all of the Policy Proceeds as an accelerated death benefit. You can only elect this rider after the death of one of the Insureds.

See the SAI for more information about riders and options.

OPTIONS AVAILABLE AT NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE

 

34


POLICY SPLIT OPTION

You can exchange your policy, without evidence of insurability, for two equal separate life insurance policies, one on each of the Insureds within 6 months of the following two dates:

(1) the date that a final divorce decree which terminates the marriage of the Insureds has been in effect for six months; or

(2) the effective date of a change in the Federal tax law which results in:

 

  (a) a reduction in the unlimited Federal Estate Tax marital deduction provision (Section 2056 of the IRC); or

 

  (b) a reduction of at least 50% in the level of estate tax rate from the 1986 Tax Act payable on death.

You must request a policy split in writing, in a form acceptable to us, to VPSC at one of the addresses listed on the first page of this prospectus. At the time We receive your request:

(1) Both insureds must be living;

(2) Each new policy will be a variable adjustable life plan which is being offered by us on the date of the exchange; and

(3) An insurable interest must exist between the owner of each new policy and the insured of that new policy under all applicable laws.

See the SAI for more information about the Policy Split Option.

DOLLAR COST AVERAGING

Dollar Cost Averaging is a systematic method of investing that allows you to purchase shares of any Investment Division(s) at regular intervals in fixed dollar amounts so that the cost of your shares is averaged over time and over various market cycles. You can elect this option as long as the Cash Value is $2,500 or more. To set up Dollar Cost Averaging, you must send a completed form to VPSC at one of the addresses listed on the first page of this prospectus. (See the SAI for more information.)

DOLLAR COST AVERAGING PLUS ACCOUNT (“DCA Plus Account”) (May Be Discontinued At Any Time)

The Dollar Cost Averaging Plus (DCA Plus) program permits you to set up automatic dollar cost averaging using the DCA Plus Account when an initial premium payment (minimum $1,000) is made. The DCA Plus Account must be elected at the time your policy is issued. (See the SAI for more information.)

AUTOMATIC ASSET REALLOCATION (AAR)

If you choose this feature, we will reallocate your assets automatically on a schedule you select among the Investment Divisions in order to maintain a predetermined percentage invested in the Investment Division(s) you have selected. You can elect this option as long as the Separate Account Value is $2,500 or more. To set up AAR, you must send a completed AAR form to VPSC at one of the addresses listed on the first page of this Prospectus. You may modify an existing AAR by contacting Us at the phone number provided on page 1 of this Prospectus. Your AAR will be cancelled if a premium allocation change or fund transfer is submitted on your behalf and the AAR is not also modified at the time to be consistent with your fund transfer and premium allocation changes. (See the SAI for more information.)

INTEREST SWEEP

You can instruct us to periodically transfer the interest credited to the Fixed Account into the Investment Division(s) you specify. You can elect this option as long as the amount in the Fixed Account is $2,500 or more. To set up Interest Sweep, you must send a completed form to VPSC at one of the addresses listed on the first page of the prospectus. (See the SAI for more information.)

 

35


MATURITY DATE

Unless the Life Extension Benefit Rider is in effect, your policy matures on the policy anniversary on which the younger insured is, or would have been, age 100. Beginning on this maturity date, the face amount of your policy, as shown on the Policy Data Page, will no longer apply. Instead, your Life Insurance Benefit will equal the Cash Surrender Value of your policy less any loans and any interest due on loans.

One year before your policy’s maturity date, we will notify you that on your maturity date you may elect either:

 

  (1) to receive the Cash Surrender Value of your policy; or

 

  (2) to continue the policy without having to pay any more cost of insurance charges or monthly contract fees.

If you choose to continue the policy, we will continue to assess the Separate Account administrative charge and the Mortality and Expense risk charge on the cash value remaining in the Investment Divisions, and Fund charges for Series 1 and 2. The federal income tax treatment of a life insurance policy is uncertain after the younger insured is, or would have been, age 100. See “Federal Income Tax Considerations” for more information. If you choose to surrender your policy, you must submit a written notification, in a form acceptable to us, to VPSC at one of the addresses listed on the first page of this prospectus (or any other address we indicate to you in writing).

Please consult your tax advisor regarding the tax implications of these options.

If your policy is still in effect when the last surviving insured dies, we will pay the Policy Proceeds to the beneficiary.

TAX-FREE “SECTION 1035” INSURANCE POLICY EXCHANGES

Generally, you can exchange one life insurance policy for another in a “tax-free exchange” under Section 1035 of the IRC. However, because we have discontinued sales of this policy, you may not exchange another policy for the one described in this prospectus. As a general matter, you should compare both policies carefully before making any exchange. You should also remember that if you exchange one policy for another, you might have to pay a surrender charge on your old policy. The new policy may also have a new surrender charge period, charges that may be higher (or lower), and benefits that may be different. If the exchange does not qualify for Section 1035 treatment, you may have to pay federal income and penalty taxes on the exchange. You should not exchange another policy for a new one unless you determine, after knowing all of the facts, that the exchange is in your best interest.

In addition, because the final surrender value of your old policy will be determined after the new life insurance policy has been issued, this surrender value may be subject to any increases or decreases in policy values due to market fluctuations during the period between submission of the exchange request and the issuance of a new policy. The final surrender value may be determined several Business Days after your exchange request is received. Before any exchange, you should consult your current insurer about how to mitigate market exposure during this period.

24-MONTH EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE

Within the first 24 months after the Issue Date of your policy, if you decide that you do not want to own a variable policy, you can either: (1) transfer the entire Cash Value to the Fixed Account of your policy, or (2) exchange your policy for a new survivorship permanent plan of life insurance that we (or one of our affiliates) offer for this purpose. The new policy will have the same Policy Date, issue age, risk classification, and initial Face Amount as your original policy, but will not offer variable investment options such as the Investment Divisions.

In order to exchange your policy:

 

   

your policy must be in effect on the date of the exchange;

 

36


   

you must repay any unpaid loan (including any accrued loan interest); and

 

   

you must submit a written request in a form acceptable to us to VPSC at one of the addresses listed on the first page of this prospectus.

We will process your request for an exchange on the later of: (1) the date you send in your written request along with your policy, or (2) the Business Day on which we receive the necessary loan payment for your exchange at VPSC at one of the addresses listed on the first page of this prospectus (or any other address we indicate to you in writing). The policy exchange will be effective on the later of these two dates. The amount applied to your new policy will be the policy’s Cash Value plus a refund of all cost of insurance charges taken as of the date of the exchange. Because policy values may increase or decrease due to market fluctuations during the period between submission of the exchange request and actual processing, the Cash Value applied to your new policy may be impacted. Please consult your registered representative for options to potentially mitigate market exposure during the time it will take to process the exchange. We will require you to make any adjustment to the premiums and Cash Value of your variable policy and the new policy, if necessary.

When you exchange your policy, all riders and benefits for that policy will end, unless otherwise required by law. Requests received after 4:00 pm (Eastern Time) on a Business Day, or on a non-Business Day, will be processed as of the next Business Day.

PREMIUMS

For the purpose of determining whether we require additional underwriting when accepting a premium payment, we classify your premium payments as planned or unplanned premiums.

The currently available methods of payments are: direct payment to NYLIAC, pre-authorized monthly deductions from your bank, credit union or similar accounts or any other method agreed to by us.

Acceptance of initial and subsequent premium payments is subject to our suitability standards.

PLANNED PREMIUM

When you apply for your policy, you select a premium payment schedule, which indicates the amount and frequency of premium payments you intend to make. The premium amount you select for this schedule is called your “planned premium.” It is shown on the Policy Data Page. Factors that should be considered in determining your premium payment are: age, underwriting class, gender, policy Face Amount, Investment Division performance, loans, and riders you add to your policy.

 

   

You may increase or decrease the amount of your planned premium and change the frequency of your payments, within limits.

 

   

Planned premium payments end on the policy anniversary on which the younger insured is, or would have been, age 100.

 

   

Your policy will not automatically terminate if you are unable to pay the planned premium. However, payment of your planned premium does not guarantee your policy will remain in effect.

Your policy will terminate if the Net Cash Value is insufficient to pay the monthly deduction charges or if you reach the end of the late period and you have not made the necessary payment.

UNPLANNED PREMIUM

An unplanned premium is a payment you make that is not part of the premium schedule you chose.

 

   

While at least one Insured is living, you may make unplanned premium payments at any time before the policy anniversary on which the younger Insured is, or would have been, age 100. However, if payment of an unplanned premium will cause the Life Insurance Benefit of your policy to increase more than the Cash Value will increase, we may require proof of insurability before accepting that payment and applying it to your policy. The increase may occur in order for your policy to continue to qualify as life insurance under the IRC.

 

37


   

If you exchange another life insurance policy to acquire this policy under IRC Section 1035, we will treat the proceeds of that exchange as an unplanned premium.

 

   

The minimum unplanned premium amount we allow is $50.

 

   

We may limit the number and amount of any unplanned premium payments.

Unplanned premium payments must be mailed to NYLIAC, 75 Remittance Drive, Suite 3021, Chicago, IL 60675-3021 or by express mail to NYLIAC, Suite 3021, c/o The Northern Trust Bank, 330 North Orleans Street, Receipt & Dispatch, 8th Floor, Chicago, IL 60654. Acceptance of initial and subsequent premium payments is subject to our suitability standards.

RISK OF MINIMALLY FUNDED POLICIES

You can make additional planned or unplanned premium payments at any time up to the younger Insured is, or would have been, age 100. We will require one or more additional premium payments in the circumstance where the Net Cash Value of your policy is determined to be insufficient to pay the charges needed to keep your policy in effect. Should the additional payment(s) not be made, your policy will lapse.

Although premium payments are flexible, you may need to make subsequent premium payments so that the Net Cash Value of your policy is sufficient to pay the charges needed to keep your policy in effect. A policy that is maintained with a Net Cash Value just sufficient to cover deductions and charges, or that is otherwise minimally funded, is more likely to be unable to maintain its Net Cash Value because of market fluctuation and other performance-related risks. When determining the amount of your planned premium payments, you should consider funding your policy at a level that has the potential to maximize the investment opportunities within your policy and to minimize the risks associated with market fluctuations. (Your policy can lapse even if you pay all of the planned premiums on time.)

TIMING AND VALUATION

Your premium will be credited to your policy on the Business Day that it is received, assuming it is received prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Any premiums received after that time will be credited to your policy on the next Business Day.

The Fund assets making up the Investment Divisions will be valued only on those days that the NYSE is open for trading. Generally, the NYSE is closed on Saturdays, Sundays and major U.S. holidays.

FREE LOOK

You have the right to cancel your policy, within certain limits. Under the Free Look provision of your policy, in most jurisdictions, you have 20 days after you receive your policy to return it and receive a refund. You can cancel increases in the Face Amount of your policy under the same time limits. (See “State Variations” for state-by-state details.) To receive a refund, you must return the policy to the VPSC at one of the addresses noted on the first page of the prospectus (or any other address we indicate to you in writing) or to the registered representative from whom you purchased the policy, along with a written request for cancellation in a form acceptable to us.

We will allocate premium payments you make with your application or during the Free Look period to our General Account until the end of the free look period. On the Business Day following the free look period, we will allocate the net premium plus any accrued interest to the Investment Divisions you have selected.

If you cancel your policy, however, we will pay you only the greater of (a) your policy’s Cash Value calculated as of the Business Day either the VPSC or the registered representative through whom you purchased it receives the policy along with the written request for cancellation, or (b) the total premium payments you have made, less any loans and any partial surrenders you have taken.

If you cancel an increase in Face Amount of your policy, we will refund the premium payments you have paid in excess of the planned premiums that are allocated to the increase, less any part of the excess premium payments that we have already paid to you.

 

38


PREMIUM PAYMENTS

Premium payments must be mailed to one of the addresses listed on the first page of this prospectus. Currently available methods of payment are: direct payment to NYLIAC, pre-authorized monthly deductions from your bank, a credit union or similar accounts and any other methods agreed to by us.

When we receive a subsequent premium payment, we deduct the sales expense, state premium tax, and federal tax charges that apply. The balance of the premium is called the “net premium.” We apply your net premium to the Investment Divisions, Fixed Account and/or the DCA Plus Account according to your instructions.

The premium payments you make during the free look period are applied to our General Account. After this period is over, we allocate your net premium, along with any interest credited, to the Investment Divisions of the Separate Account, the Fixed Account, and/or the DCA Plus Account according to the most recent premium allocation election you have given us. You can change the premium allocation any time you make a subsequent premium payment by submitting a revised premium allocation form to VPSC at one of the addresses for payment of subsequent premiums listed on the first page of this prospectus. Your revised premium allocation selections will be effective as of the Business Day the revised premium allocation is received by VPSC at one of the addresses for payment of subsequent premiums listed on the first page of this prospectus. The allocation percentages must be in whole numbers.

CHECK-O-MATIC

Check-O-Matic is a service that allows you to authorize monthly electronic deductions from your checking account to make premium payments. You can select any day of the month to initiate drafts except the 29th, 30th and 31st. If a draft date is not selected, it will be the Policy Date. A voided blank check must be forwarded along with an application to begin Check-O-Matic. To set up the Check-O-Matic feature, you must submit your request in writing on a form we approve to VPSC at one of the addresses listed on the first page of this prospectus (or any other address we indicate to you in writing).

PREMIUM PAYMENTS RETURNED FOR INSUFFICIENT FUNDS

If your premium payment is returned by the bank for insufficient funds, we will reverse the investment options you have chosen and charge you a $20 fee for each returned payment. In addition, if we incur any losses as a result of a returned payment, we will deduct the amount of the loss from your policy’s Cash Value. If an electronic (“Check-O-Matic”) premium withdrawal is returned for insufficient funds for two consecutive months, this premium payment arrangement will be suspended until you provide written notification in a form acceptable to us to VPSC at one of the addresses listed on the first page of this prospectus that you wish to resume the arrangement and we agree to do so.

POLICY PAYMENT INFORMATION

WHEN LIFE INSURANCE COVERAGE BEGINS

If you have coverage under a conditional temporary agreement and if the policy is issued, the policy will replace the temporary coverage. Your coverage under the policy will be deemed to have begun on the Policy Date.

In all other cases, if the policy is issued, coverage under the policy will take effect when we receive the initial premium payment that you are required to make when the policy is delivered to you. You can call 1-800-598-2019 to determine if we have received your premium payment.

The monthly deduction of charges will be taken from the initial premium payment beginning on the first Monthly Deduction Day, which will be the policy Issue Date unless you request a different Policy Date.

CHANGING THE FACE AMOUNT OF YOUR POLICY

You can request to increase or decrease the Face Amount of your policy under certain circumstances once it is in force. The Face Amount of your policy affects the Life Insurance Benefit to be paid. You can request an increase in the Face Amount of your policy if all of the following conditions are met:

 

   

both insureds are still living;

 

   

the older insured is age 90 or younger

 

   

the increase you are requesting is $5,000 or more;

 

   

you submit a written application signed by each insured and the policyowner along with satisfactory evidence of insurability.

We can limit any increase in the face amount of your policy.

To increase the Face Amount of your policy, you must either contact your registered representative or submit a written request, in a form acceptable to us, to VPSC at one of the addresses listed on the first page of this prospectus. If an increase is approved, we will increase the face amount on the Monthly Deduction Day on or after the date we approve the increase. You should consider the following consequences when increasing the Face Amount of your policy:

 

   

additional cost of insurance charges;

 

   

a new suicide and contestability period applicable only to the amount of the increase;

 

   

a new fifteen-year surrender charge period, applicable only to the amount of the increase;

 

   

a change in the life insurance benefit percentage applied to the entire policy under Section 7702 of the IRC; and

 

   

a possible new seven-year testing period for modified endowment contract status.

Under certain circumstances, you can request a decrease in the Face Amount of your policy if both of the following conditions are met:

 

   

either insured is still living; and

 

   

the decrease you are requesting will not reduce the policy’s face amount below $100,000.

To decrease the Face Amount of your policy, you must send a written request in a form acceptable to us to VPSC at one of the addresses listed on the first page of this prospectus. You should consider the following possible consequences when decreasing the Face Amount of your policy:

 

   

a change in the total policy cost of insurance charge;

 

   

a surrender charge applicable to the amount of the decreased Face Amount (we will deem the amount attributable to your most recent increase in the Face Amount to be canceled first); and

 

40


   

adverse tax consequences.

For more information about changing the Face Amount of your policy, see the SAI.

POLICY PROCEEDS

We will pay proceeds to your beneficiary when we receive satisfactory proof that the last surviving insured died. These proceeds will equal:

 

  1) the Life Insurance Benefit calculated under the Life Insurance Benefit Option you have chosen, valued as of the date of death;

 

  plus 2)     any additional death benefits available under the riders still in effect;

 

  less 3)     any outstanding loans (including any accrued loan interest as of the date of death) on the policy.

We will pay interest on these proceeds from the date the last surviving insured died until the date we pay the proceeds or the date when the payment option you have chosen becomes effective. See “Policy Payment Information—Life Insurance Benefit Options” for more information.

PAYEES

The beneficiary is the person(s) or entity/ies you have specified on our records to receive insurance proceeds from your policy. You have certain options regarding the policy’s beneficiary:

 

   

You name the beneficiary when you apply for the policy. The beneficiary will receive insurance proceeds after the last surviving insured dies.

 

   

You can elect to have different classes of beneficiaries, such as primary and secondary, where these classes determine the order of payment. You may identify more than one beneficiary per class.

 

   

To change a revocable beneficiary while an insured is living, you must send a written request, in a form acceptable to us, to VPSC at one of the addresses listed on the first page of this prospectus (or any other address we indicate to you in writing).

 

   

If no beneficiary is living when the last surviving insured dies, we will pay the Policy Proceeds to you (the policyowner), or if you are deceased, to your estate, unless we have other instructions from you to do otherwise.

You can name only those individuals who are able to receive payments on their own behalf as payees or successor payees, unless we agree otherwise. We may require proof of the age of the payee or proof that the payee is living. If we still have an unpaid amount, or there are some payments that still must be made when the last surviving payee dies, we will pay the unpaid amount with interest to the date of payment, or pay the present value of the remaining payments, to that payee’s estate. We will make this payment in one sum. The present value of the remaining payments is based on the interest rate used to compute them, and is always less than their sum.

HOW POLICY PROCEEDS WILL BE PAID

While the Insureds are living, you may designate how the Policy Proceeds will be paid to the beneficiary. Policy Proceeds can be paid in a lump sum or over time through the various payment options described below.

If you do not specify how Policy Proceeds will be paid, they will be paid in a lump sum. If you elect to have Policy Proceeds paid through one of the payment options described below, the beneficiary will not be able to receive a lump sum.

Any Policy Proceeds paid in one sum will include interest compounded each year from the date of the last surviving Insured’s death to the date of payment. We set the interest rate each year. This rate will be at least 3% per year (or a higher rate if required by law).

 

41


LUMP SUM PAYMENT

If the Policy Proceeds are less than $10,000, and you specified that they be paid in a lump sum, after the death of the last surviving insured, we will pay the beneficiary a single check for the amount of the proceeds.

If the Policy Proceeds are $10,000 or more, and you specified that they be paid in a lump sum, after the death of the last surviving insured, the beneficiary can choose among the following methods of payment:

 

   

We will issue a single check for the amount of the Policy Proceeds;

 

   

Policy Proceeds will be paid over time through one of the various payment options described below; or

 

   

Policy Proceeds will be deposited into an interest-bearing draft account in the beneficiary’s name.

If the beneficiary does not select a method of payment, and the Policy Proceeds are $10,000 or more, we will automatically deposit the Policy Proceeds into an interest-bearing draft account (unless otherwise required by law). After we are notified of the death of the Insured, the beneficiary will receive a claim form describing the payment methods available at that time.

Interest-Bearing Draft Account—If the Policy Proceeds are paid into an interest-bearing draft account opened in the beneficiary’s name, we will provide the beneficiary with a “checkbook” to access funds from the account. The draft account and checks will be provided to the beneficiary at no cost. Every month, the draft account will be credited with interest at an annual rate comparable to that for a money market account.

Amounts in the draft account are not FDIC insured. As the draft account is part of our General Account, it is subject to the claims of our creditors. Although amounts in the draft account are guaranteed by NYLIAC, their payment is subject to our claims-paying ability. We may benefit from the interest spread on amounts held in the draft accounts. Interest credited to the draft account may be taxable.

PAYMENT OPTIONS

If you designated that the Policy Proceeds be paid to the beneficiary over time, or if the beneficiary chooses (or elects a payee) to be paid over time, Policy Proceeds will be paid according to one of the following payment options: an Interest Accumulation Option, an Interest Payment Option, or a Life Income Option. (Those receiving payments under these options—whether they are designated by you or the beneficiary—will be referred to as “payees” below.) Under the Interest Accumulation or Interest Payment Options, the payee can withdraw amounts of at least $100 at any time. We will mail a check for the amount of the proceeds to the payee. If the payee requests a withdrawal, and the balance remaining on deposit with us after the withdrawal would be less than $100, we may pay the entire remaining balance in one sum to the payee.

 

   

Interest Accumulation Option (Option 1 A)

Under this option, the Policy Proceeds will remain on deposit with us until the payee requests a withdrawal. Each year, interest will accumulate on the balance at a rate we reset annually. The interest crediting rate will never be less than 3%. Sums withdrawn will be credited interest up to the date of the withdrawal.

 

   

Interest Payment Option (Option 1 B)

Under this option, the Policy Proceeds will remain on deposit with us until the payee requests a withdrawal. Interest earned on any balance will be paid directly to the payee on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. The balance will earn interest at a rate we reset annually. The interest crediting rate will never be less than 3%.

 

   

Life Income Option (Option 2)

Under this option, the Policy Proceeds are applied to the purchase of a single premium life annuity policy that will make equal monthly payments during the lifetime of the payee. The annuity policy is issued when the first premium payment is due. Payments under the annuity will remain level and are guaranteed for a period that you (or the beneficiary, if applicable) specify—5, 10, 15 or 20 years—even if the specified payee dies sooner.

 

42


Payments are based on the adjusted annuity premium rate in effect at the time of issue, but will never be less than the corresponding minimum amount shown in the “Option 2” table of your policy. Upon request, we will send you (or the beneficiary, if applicable) a statement of the minimum amount of each monthly payment—based on the gender and adjusted age of the payee(s)—before this option is elected.

If the first annuity payment was due in 2016 or after, we will decrease the payee’s actual age to arrive at the payee’s adjusted age. Such decreases will result in lower monthly annuity payments to the payee. Adjustments to the payee’s age will be made as follows:

 

2006-2015

  2016-2025   2026-2035   2036 and later
0   -1   -2   -3

ELECTING OR CHANGING A PAYMENT OPTION

While at least one of the insureds is living, you can elect or change your payment option. To change your payment option you must send a written request to VPSC in a form acceptable to us at one of the addresses listed on the first page of this prospectus. You can also name or change one or more of the beneficiaries who will be the payee(s) under that option. (See “Policy Payment Information—Payees” for more information.)

After the last surviving insured dies, any person who is entitled to receive Policy Proceeds in one sum (other than an assignee) can elect a payment option and name payees. The person who elects a payment option can also name one or more successor payees to receive any amount remaining at the death of the payees. Naming these payees cancels any prior choice of successor payees. A payee who did not elect the payment option has the right to advance or assign payments, take the payments in one sum, change the payment option, or make any other change, only if the person who elects the payment option notifies us in writing at VPSC at one of the addresses listed on the first page of this prospectus and we agree.

WHEN WE PAY POLICY PROCEEDS

If the policy is still in effect, NYLIAC will pay any Cash Surrender Value, partial withdrawals, loan proceeds, or the Policy Proceeds generally within seven days after we receive all of the necessary requirements at the VPSC at one of the addresses listed on the first page of this prospectus (or any other address we indicate to you in writing).

Under the following situations, payment of proceeds may be delayed:

 

   

We may delay payment of any loan proceeds attributable to the Separate Account, any partial withdrawals from the Separate Account, the Cash Surrender Value, or the Policy Proceeds during any period that:

(1) we are unable to determine the amount to be paid because the NYSE is closed (other than customary weekend and holiday closings), trading is restricted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or the SEC declares that an emergency exists; or

(2) the SEC, by order, permits us to delay payment in order to protect our policyowners.

 

   

We may delay payment of any portion of any loan or surrender request, including requests for partial withdrawals, from the Fixed Account and/or the DCA Plus Account for up to six months from the date we receive your request.

 

   

We may delay payment of the entire Policy Proceeds if we contest the payment. We investigate all death claims that occur within the two-year contestable period. Upon receiving information from a completed investigation, we will make a determination, generally within five days, as to whether the claim should be authorized for payment. Payments are made promptly after the authorization.

 

   

Federal laws made to combat terrorism and prevent money laundering by criminals might, in certain circumstances, require us to reject a premium payment and/or “freeze” a policy. If these laws apply in a particular policy(ies), we would not be allowed to pay any request for transfers, partial withdrawals, surrenders, loans, or death benefits. If a policy or an account is frozen, the Cash Value would be

 

43


 

moved to a special segregated interest-bearing account and held in that account until instructions are received from the appropriate federal regulator.

 

   

If you have submitted a recent check or draft, we have the right to defer payment of any surrender, withdrawal, loans, death benefit proceeds, or payments under a settlement option until such check or draft has been honored. It may take up to 15 days for a check to clear through the banking system.

We add interest at an annual rate of 3% (or at a higher rate if required by law) if we delay payment of a partial surrender, withdrawal or Cash Surrender Value for 30 days or more.

We add interest to Policy Proceeds from the date of death to the date of payment at the same rate as we pay under the Interest Payment Option (or at a higher rate if required by law).

LIFE INSURANCE BENEFIT OPTIONS

 

   

Your Life Insurance Benefit for Series 1 Policies

Under your policy, the Life Insurance Benefit depends on the Life Insurance Benefit option you choose. Your policy offers two options:

Option 1—The Life Insurance Benefit under this option is equal to the policy’s Face Amount in force on the last surviving Insured’s date of death. Except as described below, your Life Insurance Benefit under this option will be a level amount.

Option 2—The Life Insurance Benefit under this option is equal to the policy’s Face Amount in force on the last surviving Insured’s date of death plus the policy’s Cash Value on that date. The Life Insurance Benefit under this option will vary with the policy’s Cash Value. Cash Value will fluctuate due to performance of the Investment Divisions you choose. Your Life Insurance Benefit will never be less than your policy’s Face Amount.

 

   

Your Life Insurance Benefit for Series 2 Policies

Under your policy, the Life Insurance Benefit depends on the Life Insurance Benefit option you choose. Your policy offers three options:

Option 1—The Life Insurance Benefit under this option is equal to the policy’s Face Amount in force on the last surviving Insured’s date of death. Except as described below, your Life Insurance Benefit under this option will be a level amount.

Option 2—The Life Insurance Benefit under this option is equal to the policy’s Face Amount in force on the last surviving Insured’s date of death plus the policy’s Cash Value on that date. The Life Insurance Benefit under this option will vary with the policy’s Cash Value. Cash Value will fluctuate due to performance of the Investment Divisions you choose. Your Life Insurance Benefit will never be less than your policy’s Face Amount.

Option 3—The Life Insurance Benefit under this option is equal to the policy’s Face Amount in force on the last surviving Insured’s date of death plus the Adjusted Total Premium. The Life Insurance Benefit under this option will vary with the policy’s Adjusted Total Premium (equals total premiums paid minus any partial withdrawals). Your Life Insurance Benefit will never be less than your policy’s Face Amount. The Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Rider is not available for Option 3.

Under all options for Series 1 and Series 2, your Life Insurance Benefit may be greater if the policy’s Cash Value, multiplied by the minimum percentage necessary for the policy to qualify as life insurance under IRC Section 7702, is greater than the amount calculated under the option you have chosen. You can find this percentage on the Policy Data Page.

Under Section 7702, a policy will generally be treated as life insurance for federal tax purposes if, at all times, it meets either the Cash Value Accumulation Test (“CVAT”).

 

44


Assuming your Life Insurance Benefit does not increase in order to meet the requirements of IRC Section 7702, and assuming the same face amount and premium payments under these options:

 

   

If you choose Option 1, your Life Insurance Benefit will not vary in amount, and generally you will have lower total policy cost of insurance charges and lower Policy Proceeds.

 

   

If you choose Option 2, your Life Insurance Benefit will vary with your policy’s Cash Value, and generally you will have higher total policy cost of insurance charges and higher Policy Proceeds than under Option 1.

 

   

If you choose Option 3 (for Series 2 only), your Life Insurance Benefit will vary with your policy’s Adjusted Total Premium, and generally you will have higher total policy cost of insurance charges and higher Policy Proceeds than under Option 1.

Tax law provisions relating to “employer-owned life insurance contracts” may impact whether and to what extent the Life Insurance Benefit may be received on a tax-free basis. You may be required to take certain actions before acquiring the Policy in order to ensure that such Benefit may be received on a tax-free basis. See the discussion under “Federal Income Tax Considerations—IRC Section 101(j)—Impact on Employer-Owned Policies” for more information.

CHANGING YOUR LIFE INSURANCE BENEFIT OPTION

You can change the Life Insurance Benefit Option for your policy while both insureds are living, and to Option 1 if only one insured is living. For Series 2, changes to Option 3 are not permitted. We may, however, prohibit you from changing the Life Insurance Benefit Option if the change would (1) cause the face amount of the policy to be less than the policy minimum, (2) cause the policy to fail to qualify as life insurance under Section 7702 of the IRC or (3) cause the policy’s face amount to exceed our limits on the risk we retain, which we set at our discretion. Option changes are not permitted on or after the policy anniversary on which the younger insured is, or would have been, age 100.

 

Changes From Option 1 To Option 2

If you change from Option 1 to Option 2, we will decrease the Face Amount of your policy by the amount of the Cash Value, so that your Life Insurance Benefit immediately before and after the change remains the same. If a surrender charge applies to the Face Amount decreases at the time you change your Life Insurance Benefit Option, we will assess a surrender charge based on the amount of the Face Amount decrease.

Changes From Option 2 To Option 1

If you change from Option 2 to Option 1, we will increase the Face Amount of your policy by the amount of the Cash Value, so that your Life Insurance Benefit immediately before and after the change remains the same. We will continue to apply the existing surrender charge schedule to your policy, but we will not apply a new surrender charge schedule to the increased Face Amount resulting from the change in this option.

 

 

45


Changes From Option 3 To Option 1 (For Series 2 only)

If you change from Option 3 to Option 1, we will increase the policy’s Face Amount by the amount of Adjusted Total Premiums, so that your Life Insurance Benefit immediately before and after the change remains the same. We will continue to apply the existing surrender charge schedule to your policy, but we will not apply a new surrender charge schedule to the increased Face Amount resulting from the change in this option.

 

Changes From Option 3 To Option 2 (For Series 2 only)

If you change from Option 3 to Option 2 at a time when the Cash Value is greater than the Adjusted Total Premium, we will decrease the Face Amount of your policy by the difference between the Cash Value and the Adjusted Total Premium so that your Life Insurance Benefit immediately before and after the change remains the same.

If you change from Option 3 to Option 2 at a time when the Cash Value is less than the Adjusted Total Premium, we will increase the Face Amount of your policy by the difference between the Adjusted Total Premium and the Cash Value so that your Life Insurance Benefit immediately before and after the change remains the same. If a surrender charge applies to Face Amount decreases at the time you change your Life Insurance Benefit Option, we will assess a surrender charge based on the amount of the Face Amount decrease.

 

In order to change your Life Insurance Benefit Option, you must submit a signed written request to the VPSC at one of the addresses listed on the first page of this prospectus (or any other address we indicate to you in writing). We will change your Life Insurance Benefit option on the Monthly Deduction Day on or after the date we receive your written request. (See the SAI for examples of how an option change can impact your Life Insurance Benefit.) Surrender charges may apply to any Face Amount decrease due to a change in Life Insurance Benefit Option. Changing your Life Insurance Benefit Options may have tax consequences. You should consult a tax adviser before changing your Life Insurance Benefit Option.

ADDITIONAL POLICY PROVISIONS

LIMITS ON OUR RIGHTS TO CHALLENGE YOUR POLICY

Generally, we must bring any legal action contesting the validity of your policy within two years of the Issue Date, including any action taken to contest a Face Amount increase as a result of a change in the Life Insurance Benefit option. For any increase(s) in Face Amount other than one due to a change in the Life Insurance Benefit option, this two-year period begins on the effective date of the increase.

SUICIDE

While your policy is in effect:

 

   

If the death of the first insured who dies as a result of suicide is within two years of the Issue Date, your policy will continue to be in effect on the last surviving insured.

 

   

If the suicide of both insureds occurs at the same time, or if the suicide of the last surviving insured occurs within two years of the Issue Date, we will pay a limited life insurance benefit in one sum to the beneficiary. The limited life insurance benefit is the total amount of premiums, less any outstanding loans (including accrued loan interest) and/or amounts withdrawn. If the suicide(s) occurs within two years of the effective date of a face amount increase, we will also pay the limited life insurance benefit, or, if the limited life insurance benefit is not payable, the monthly deductions from Cash Value made for

 

46


 

that increase.

 

   

If a suicide occurs within 2 years of the effective date of a Face Amount increase, the only amount payable with respect to that increase will be the total cost of insurance deducted for the increase. No new suicide exclusion period will apply if the face amount increase was due solely to a change in the Life Insurance Benefit Option.

MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR GENDER

If the policy application misstates either or both the insured(s)’s age or gender, we will adjust the Cash Value, the Cash Surrender Value, and the Life Insurance Benefit to reflect the correct age and gender. We will adjust the Policy Proceeds provided by your policy based on the most recent mortality charge for the correct date of birth.

ASSIGNMENT

While an Insured is living, you can assign a Non-Qualified Policy as collateral for a loan or other obligation. In order for this assignment to be binding on us, we must receive a signed copy of such assignment at the VPSC at one of the addresses listed on the first page of this prospectus (or any other address we indicate to you in writing). We are not responsible for the validity of any assignment. If your policy is a modified endowment contract, assigning your policy may result in taxable income to you. (See “Federal Income Tax Considerations” for more information.) You cannot assign Qualified Policies.

PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS AND SURRENDERS

PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS

You can request a partial withdrawal from your policy if an insured is living, the partial withdrawal being requested is at least $500, and the withdrawal will not cause the policy to fail to qualify as life insurance under IRC Section 7702.

AMOUNT AVAILABLE TO WITHDRAW

You can withdraw an amount up to the Cash Surrender Value of your policy. We process a partial withdrawal at the price next determined after we receive your request. We will not allow a partial withdrawal if it would reduce the face amount of your policy (not including riders) below the minimum face amount, which is $100,000. See “The Effect of a Partial Withdrawal” for more information about how a partial withdrawal can reduce the policy’s face amount.

REQUESTING A PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL

You can request a partial withdrawal from your policy by sending a written request to VPSC at one of the addresses listed on the first page of this prospectus (or any other address we indicate to you in writing) or by calling 1-800-598-2019. Faxed requests are not acceptable and will not be honored at any time. In addition, we will not accept e-mailed partial withdrawal requests or e-mails of imaged, signed requests. Please note that partial withdrawal requests for amounts greater than $25,000 or partial withdrawal requests made from policies that are less than 90 days old or that effected an address or ownership change within 30 days of such partial withdrawal must be made in writing and sent to VPSC at one of the addresses listed on the first page of this prospectus.

We will pay any partial withdrawals generally within seven days after we receive all of the necessary documentation and information. We may, however, delay payment under certain circumstances. (See “Policy Payment Information—When We Pay Policy Proceeds” for more information.)

Your requested partial withdrawal will be effective on the date we receive your written request. If, however, the day we receive your request is not a Business Day or if your request is received after the NYSE’s close, then the requested partial withdrawal will be effective on the next Business Day.

 

47


When you make a partial withdrawal, we will deduct a fee for processing the partial withdrawal. This fee will not exceed the lesser of $25 or 2% of the amount withdrawn. A partial withdrawal may result in a decrease in your policy’s face amount, which may cause a surrender charge to apply. This charge will equal the difference between the surrender charge that we would have charged had you surrendered your entire policy before the decrease and the surrender charge that we would charge if you were to surrender your policy after the decrease.

You can specify how much of the partial withdrawal you want taken from the amount you have in each of the Investment Divisions, the Fixed Account, and/or the DCA Plus Account. If you do not specify this, we will deduct the partial withdrawal and any withdrawal fee from the Investment Divisions, the Fixed Account, and/or the DCA Plus Account in proportion to the amounts you have in each of these investment options. If you request a partial withdrawal that is greater than the amount in the Investment Divisions, the Fixed Account, and/or the DCA Plus Account you have chosen, we will reduce the amount of the partial withdrawal to the amount available and pay you that amount less any applicable withdrawal fee and surrender charge.

A partial withdrawal may result in taxable income to you and a 10% penalty tax may apply. (See “Federal Income Tax Considerations” for more information.)

The Effect of a Partial Withdrawal (Series 1 only)

When you make a partial withdrawal, we reduce your Cash Value by the amount of the partial withdrawal, and any applicable withdrawal fee and surrender charge. This will also result in a reduction to Net Cash Value.

 

   

Option 1

If you have elected Life Insurance Benefit Option 1, we reduce your policy’s face amount and your Policy Proceeds by the amount of the partial withdrawal (not including the effect of any withdrawal fee or surrender charge). This occurs because your Life Insurance Benefit under this option is equal to your policy’s face amount.

 

   

Option 2

If you have elected Life Insurance Benefit Option 2, we will not reduce your policy’s face amount but we will reduce your Policy Proceeds by the amount of the partial withdrawal and any applicable withdrawal fee and surrender charge.

The Effect of a Partial Withdrawal (Series 2 only)

When you make a partial withdrawal, we reduce your Cash Value by the amount of the partial withdrawal and any applicable withdrawal fee and surrender charge. The will also result in a reduction to Net Cash Value.

 

   

Option 1

If you have elected Life Insurance Benefit Option 1, we reduce your policy’s face amount by the difference between:

(a) the amount of the withdrawal; and

(b) the greater of:

(1) The Cash Value of the policy immediately prior to the withdrawal, minus the face amount divided by the applicable percentage at the time of withdrawal, as shown on Policy Data page, or

(2) zero.

If the above results in zero or a negative amount, there will be no adjustment in the face amount.

 

   

Option 2

If you have elected Life Insurance Benefit Option 2, we will not reduce your policy’s face amount.

 

48


   

Option 3

For policies where Life Insurance Benefit Option 3 is in effect, the face amount of the policy will be reduced by the difference between:

(a) the amount of the withdrawal; and

(b) the greater of:

(1) the Cash Value of the policy immediately prior to the withdrawal minus the face amount divided by the applicable percentage at the time of the withdrawal, as shown on your Policy Data Page, or

(2) the Adjusted Total Premium immediately prior to the withdrawal.

If the above results in zero or a negative amount, there will be no adjustment in the face amount.

Any decrease in the face amount caused by the withdrawal will first be applied against the most recent increase in face amount. It will then be applied to other increases in face amount and then to the initial face amount in the reverse order that they took place. Surrender charges may apply to Face Amount decreases. However, we will not apply a surrender charge if you have elected the Policy Split Option or the 24 Month Exchange Privilege.

As a result of a partial withdrawal, you may also need to make additional premium payments so that the Net Cash Value of your policy is sufficient to pay the charges to keep your policy in effect.

SURRENDERS

CASH SURRENDER VALUE

The Cash Surrender Value of your policy is the amount we will pay you if you surrender your policy. The Cash Surrender Value of your policy is equal to the Cash Value of the policy less any surrender charges that may apply and less outstanding policy loans (including any accrued loan interest). If you surrender your policy during the first Policy Year, an additional surrender charge applies. Since the Cash Value of the policy fluctuates with the performance of the Investment Divisions and the interest credited to the Fixed Account and the DCA Plus Account, and because a surrender fee may apply, the Cash Surrender Value may be more or less than the total premium payments you have made less any applicable fees and charges. You can surrender your policy for its Cash Surrender Value at any time while either insured is living. (See “Table of Fees and Expenses” for more information.)

REQUESTING A SURRENDER

To surrender the policy, you must send written notification, in a form acceptable to us, to the VPSC at one of the addresses listed on the first page of this prospectus (or any other address we indicate to you in writing). Faxed requests are not acceptable and will not be accepted at any time. In addition, we will not accept e-mailed requests or e-mails of imaged, signed requests.

WHEN THE SURRENDER IS EFFECTIVE

Your surrender will be effective as of the end of the Business Day VPSC receives your written request and the policy. If, however, the day we receive your request is not a Business Day or if your request is received after the closing of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the requested surrender will be effective on the next Business Day. Generally, we will mail the surrender proceeds within seven days after the effective date, subject to the limits explained in the “Policy Payment Information—When We Pay Policy Proceeds” section. A surrender may result in taxable income and a penalty tax to you. (See “Federal Income Tax Considerations” for more information.)

SURRENDER CHARGES

If you surrender your policy during the first fifteen Policy Years or within fifteen years after you increase the face amount of your policy, a surrender charge will apply. We will deduct any applicable surrender charge

 

49


before we pay you the surrender proceeds. (See “Charges Associated with the Policy—Transaction Charges” for more information). Because the surrender charge may be significant during early Policy Years, you should not purchase this policy unless you intend to hold the policy for an extended period of time.

LOANS

You can borrow any amount up to the loan value of the policy. The loan value at any time is equal to 90% of your policy’s Cash Value, less any surrender charges, and, in the first Policy Year, less the amount of any additional contract charge that would apply if you were to fully surrender your policy during that time. (See “Charges Associated with the Policy—Transaction Charges—Surrender Charges” for more information.) Your policy will be used as collateral to secure this loan. Any amount that secures a loan remains part of your policy’s Cash Value but is transferred to the Fixed Account. We credit any amount that secures a loan (the loaned amount) with an interest rate that we expect to be different from the interest rate we credit on any unloaned amount in the Fixed Account and/or the DCA Plus Account.

YOUR POLICY AS COLLATERAL FOR A LOAN

When you request a loan, a transfer of funds will be made from the Separate Account (and/or the DCA Plus Account, if so requested) to the Fixed Account so that the Cash Value in the Fixed Account is at least 106% of the requested loan plus any outstanding loans, including accrued loan interest. This percentage will change in accordance with changes in the loan interest rate, but will never exceed 108%. We will transfer these funds from the Investment Divisions of the Separate Account and/or from the DCA Plus Account in accordance with your instructions or, if you have not provided us with any instructions, in proportion to the amounts you have in each Investment Division. While any policy loan is outstanding, we will not allow you to make any partial withdrawals or transfer any funds from the Fixed Account if the partial withdrawal or transfer would cause the cash value of the Fixed Account to fall below 106% of all outstanding loans (or a different percentage based on the loan interest rate). Additionally, if the monthly deductions from Cash Value will cause the Cash Value of the Fixed Account to fall below the total amount of all outstanding policy loans and any accrued interest, we will take these deductions first from the Investment Divisions in proportion to the amounts you have invested and then from the DCA Plus Account.

LOAN INTEREST

We currently charge an effective annual loan interest rate of 6%. We may increase or decrease this rate but we guarantee that the rate will never exceed 8%. We will determine the loan interest rate at least once every twelve months, but not more frequently than once every three months. If we increase the rate, we will not increase it by more than 1% per calendar year.

INTEREST ON THE CASH VALUE HELD AS COLLATERAL

When you take a loan against your policy, the loaned amount that we hold in the Fixed Account may earn interest at a different rate from the rate we charge you for loan interest. The rate on the loaned amount in the Fixed Account may also be different from the rate we credit on other amounts in the Fixed Account or amounts in the DCA Plus Account. The rate we credit on loaned amounts will never be less than 2% less than the rate we charge for policy loans. We guarantee that the interest rate we credit on loaned amounts will always be at least 4%. For the first 10 Policy Years, the rate We currently credit on loaned amounts is 1% less than the rate we charge for loan interest. Beginning in the eleventh Policy Year, the rate we currently credit on loaned amounts is 0.50% less than the rate we charge for loan interest. The interest earned on amounts held as collateral for the policy loan will remain in the Fixed Account.

WHEN LOAN INTEREST IS DUE

The interest we charge on a loan accrues daily and is payable on the earliest of the following dates:

 

   

the policy anniversary;

 

   

the date you increase or repay a loan;

 

50


   

the date you surrender the policy;

 

   

the date the policy lapses; or

 

   

the date on which the last surviving insured dies.

Any loan interest due on a policy anniversary that you do not pay will be charged against the policy as an additional loan. You should be aware that the larger the loan becomes relative to the Net Cash Value, the greater the risk that the remaining Net Cash Value may not be sufficient to support the policy charges and expenses, including any loan interest due, and the greater the risk of the policy lapsing. In addition, if the interest charge would cause the amount of the borrowing to exceed 90% of the Cash Surrender Value of the policy, the interest amount will be withdrawn on a pro rata basis across all Investment Divisions.

LOAN REPAYMENT

You can repay all or part of a policy loan at any time while your policy is in effect. We will consider any payment we receive from you while you have a loan outstanding to be a premium payment unless you tell us in writing that it is a loan repayment. When a loan repayment is received, we will first use the money to cancel all or part of any portion of the outstanding loan which was originally taken from the Fixed Account and/or DCA Plus Account. Any remaining portion of the loan payment will be allocated to the Investment Divisions in the same proportion as the amount of money you have in each Investment Division on the date of the loan repayment, unless you indicate otherwise and we agree. Repayments of loans from the DCA Plus Account will be allocated to the Fixed Account. Loan payments must be sent to NYLIAC at one of the addresses listed on the first page of this prospectus.

EXCESS LOAN CONDITION

If the amount of any unpaid loans (including any accrued loan interest) is greater than the Cash Value of your policy less surrender charges, we will mail a notice to you at your last known address. We will also send a copy of the notice to the last known assignee, if any, on our records. If you do not pay the necessary amount within 31 days after the day we mail you this notice, we will terminate your policy. This could result in a taxable gain and penalty tax to you.

THE EFFECT OF A POLICY LOAN

A loan, repaid or not, has a permanent effect on your Cash Value. This effect occurs because the investment results of each Investment Division apply only to the amounts remaining in such Investment Divisions. The longer a loan is outstanding, the greater the effect on your Cash Value is likely to be. The effect could be favorable or unfavorable. If the Investment Divisions earn more than the annual interest rate credited on loaned amounts held in the Fixed Account, your Cash Value will not increase as rapidly as it would have had no loan been made. If the Investment Divisions earn less than the interest on loaned amounts held in the Fixed Account, then your Cash Value may be greater than it would have been had no loan been made. If not repaid, the aggregate amount of the outstanding loan principal and any accrued interest will reduce the Policy Proceeds that might otherwise be payable.

In addition, unpaid loan interest generally will be treated as a new loan under the IRC. If the policy is a modified endowment contract, a loan may result in taxable income and penalty taxes to you. In addition, for all policies, if the loans taken, including unpaid loan interest, exceed the premiums paid, policy surrender or policy lapse will result in a taxable gain to you. Finally, it is possible that a loan could be treated as a taxable distribution if there is no spread or a very small spread between the interest rate charged on the loan and the interest rate credited to the loaned amount. (See “Federal Tax Considerations” for more information.)

TERMINATION AND REINSTATEMENT

LATE PERIOD

The late period is the 62 days following the Monthly Deduction Day on which the Net Cash Value of your policy is insufficient to pay for monthly deductions from Cash Value for the next policy month. During this

 

51


period, you have the opportunity to pay any premium needed to cover any overdue charges. We will mail a notice to your last known address stating this amount. We will send a copy to the last known assignee, if any, on our records. We will mail these notices at least 31 days before the end of the late period. Your policy will remain in effect during the late period. However, if we do not receive the required payment before the end of the late period, we will terminate your policy without any benefits.

During the late period, we will pay your beneficiary any benefits the beneficiary is entitled to as follows:

 

   

If the last surviving insured dies during the late period, we will pay the Policy Proceeds, which we will reduce by the unpaid monthly deductions from Cash Value for the full policy months from the beginning of the late period through the policy month in which the last surviving insured dies.

 

   

If the policy has a First-to-Die Monthly Deduction Waiver Rider and either insured dies while the policy is in the late period, we will approve the waiver claim when you pay all overdue monthly deductions from Cash Value.

 

   

If the policy has a Level First-to-Die Term Rider and either insured dies while the policy is in the late period, we will pay the proceeds due under this rider less any overdue charges for this rider.

REINSTATEMENT OPTION

If your policy has lapsed, you can request that we reinstate your policy if all of these conditions are met:

 

   

you send a written request for reinstatement in a form acceptable to us to VPSC at one of the addresses listed on the first page of this prospectus within five years after your policy is terminated;

 

   

both insureds are living (However, we will accept your reinstatement request when only one insured is living, if the other insured died before your policy terminated); and

 

   

you have not surrendered your policy.

Keep in mind that a termination and subsequent reinstatement may cause your policy to become a modified endowment contract. Modified endowment contracts are subject to less favorable tax treatment on amounts withdrawn or borrowed from the policy.

Before we reinstate your policy, we must also receive the following:

 

  (1) payment equal to the sum of (a) and (b) where:

(a) is an amount sufficient to keep the policy in effect for at least three months. This amount will consist of any amount necessary to bring the Net Cash Value above zero plus three monthly deduction charges (and any monthly deduction charges due and unpaid at time of lapse) multiplied by a factor in order to account for premium expense charges; and

(b) is 115% of any additional contract charge for a policy that ended during the first Policy Year and is later reinstated.

 

  (2) satisfactory evidence of insurability, if your reinstatement request is more than 31 days after the end of the late period.

We will apply your payment to the Investment Divisions and/or the Fixed Account as of the Business Day we receive it and in accordance with your instructions at the time you make such payment. Payments received after 4:00 p.m. on any Business Day, or any non-Business Day will be credited on the next Business Day

The effective date of reinstatement will be the Monthly Deduction Day on or following the date we approve the request for reinstatement. The approval for reinstatement is contingent upon our receipt from you of the reinstatement payment due, which is the amount specified in (1) above.

If we reinstate your policy, the Face Amount for the reinstated policy will be the same as it would have been if the policy had not terminated.

 

52


The Cash Value of the reinstated policy will be the Cash Value at the time the policy lapsed plus the reinstatement payment net of administrative expenses, less any monthly deduction charges due and unpaid at time of lapse, less the difference between the surrender charge assessed at the time of the lapse and the surrender charge that applies at the time the policy is reinstated. We will deduct any unpaid loan and any accrued loan interest from this Cash Value or any unpaid loan can be repaid together with loan interest, up to 6% compounded annually, from the end of the late period to the date of reinstatement.

If the policy lapses during the first Policy Year and is subsequently reinstated, we will assess the first-year lapse/reinstatement charge.

DISTRIBUTION AND COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS

NYLIFE Distributors LLC (“NYLIFE Distributors”), the underwriter and distributor of the policies, is registered with the SEC and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) as a broker-dealer. The firm is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of New York Life, and an affiliate of NYLIAC. Its principal business address is 169 Lackawanna Avenue, Parsippany, New Jersey 07054.

The policies were sold by registered representatives of NYLIFE Securities LLC (“NYLIFE Securities”), a broker-dealer that is an affiliate of NYLIFE Distributors and by registered representatives of unaffiliated broker-dealers. Your registered representative is also a licensed insurance agent with New York Life. He or she may be qualified to offer other forms of life insurance, annuities, and other investment products. In certain circumstances, NYLIFE Securities registered representatives can sell both products manufactured and issued by New York Life or its affiliates and products provided by other companies.

The selling broker-dealer, and in turn your registered representative, will receive compensation for selling you this policy or any other investment product. Compensation may consist of commissions, asset-based compensation, allowances for expenses, and other compensation programs. The amount of compensation received by your registered representative will vary depending on the policy that he or she sells, on sales production goals, and on the specific payment arrangements of the relevant broker-dealer. Differing compensation arrangements have the potential to influence the recommendation made by your registered representative or broker-dealer.

The maximum commissions payable to a broker-dealer in the first 30 years are equivalent to the present value of an annual commission rate for 30 years of 6.1% per year. (This figure is a percentage of planned annual premiums of $15,000 and assumes a discount rate of 6%. Additional assumptions for the SVUL product are: Male Issue Age 55, issued preferred, and Female Issue Age 50, issued preferred, with an initial face amount of $1,000,000.) Broker-dealers may also receive an allowance for expenses that ranges generally from 0% to 41% of first year premiums.

The total commissions paid during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 were $401,868, 511,119 and $1,470,703, respectively. NYLIFE Distributors did not retain any of these commissions.

New York Life also has other compensation programs where registered representatives, managers, and employees involved in the sales process receive additional compensation related to the sale of products manufactured and issued by New York Life or its affiliates. NYLIFE Securities registered representatives who are members of the General Office management team receive compensation based on a number of sales-related incentive programs designed to compensate for education, supervision, training, and recruiting of agents.

Unaffiliated broker-dealers may receive sales support for products manufactured and issued by New York Life or its affiliates from Brokerage General Agents (“BGAs”) who are not employed by New York Life. BGAs receive commissions on the policies based on a percentage of the commissions the registered representative receives and an allowance for expenses based on first year premiums paid.

NYLIFE Securities registered representatives can qualify to attend New York Life-sponsored educational, training, and development conferences based on the sales they make of life insurance, annuities, and investment products during a particular twelve-month period. In addition, qualification for recognition programs

 

53


sponsored by New York Life depends on the sale of products manufactured and issued by New York Life or its affiliates.

NYLIAC has discontinued sales of these policies. Premium payments on existing policies, however, are accepted on a continuous basis.

Please refer to the Statement of Additional Information for additional information on distribution and compensation arrangements. You may obtain a paper copy of the SAI by mail (at the VPSC at one of the addresses listed on the first page of this prospectus), through the internet on our corporate website (www.newyorklife.com), or by phone on our toll-free number (1-800-598-2019). The SAI is also posted on our corporate website, which is referenced above.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

OUR INTENT

Our intent in the discussion in this section is to provide general information about federal income tax considerations related to the policies. This is not an exhaustive discussion of all tax questions that might arise under the policies. This discussion is not intended to be tax advice for you. Tax results may vary according to your particular circumstances, and you may need tax advice in connection with the purchase or use of your policy.

The discussion in this section is based on our understanding of the present federal income tax laws as they are currently interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). We have not included any information about applicable state or other tax laws (except as noted in “Other Tax Issues”, below). Further, you should note that tax law changes from time to time. We do not know whether the treatment of life insurance policies under federal income tax or estate or gift tax laws will continue. Future legislation, regulations, or interpretations could adversely affect the tax treatment of life insurance policies. Lastly, there are many areas of the tax law where minimal guidance exists in the form of Treasury Regulations or Revenue Rulings. You should consult a tax advisor for information on the tax treatment of the policies, for the tax treatment under the laws of your state, or for information on the impact of proposed or future changes in tax legislation, regulations, or interpretations.

The ultimate effect of federal income taxes on values under the policy and on the economic benefit to you or the beneficiary depends upon NYLIAC’s tax status, upon the terms of the policy, and upon your circumstances.

TAX STATUS OF NYLIAC AND THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT

NYLIAC is taxed as a life insurance company under Subchapter L of the IRC. The Separate Account is not a separate taxable entity from NYLIAC and we take its operations into account in determining NYLIAC’s income tax liability. As a result, NYLIAC takes into account applicable tax attributes of the assets of the Separate Account on its corporate income tax return, including corporate dividends received deductions and foreign tax credits that may be produced by assets of the Separate Account. All investment income and realized net capital gains on the assets of the Separate Account are reinvested and taken into account in determining policy Cash Values, and are automatically applied to increase the book reserves associated with the policies. Under existing federal income tax law, neither the investment income nor any net capital gains of the Separate Account, are taxed to NYLIAC to extent those items are applied to increase tax deductible reserves associated with the policies.

CHARGES FOR TAXES

We impose a federal tax charge on Non-Qualified Policies equal to 1.25% of premiums received under the policy to compensate us for taxes we have to pay under Section 848 of the IRC in connection with our receipt of premiums under Non-Qualified Policies. No other charge is currently made to the Separate Account for our federal income taxes that may be attributable to the Separate Account. In the future, We may impose a charge for our federal income taxes attributable to the Separate Account. In addition, depending on the method of calculating interest on amounts allocated to the Fixed Account and/ or DCA Plus Account, We may impose a charge for the policy’s share of NYLIAC’s federal income taxes attributable to the Fixed Account and/or DCA Plus Account.

Under current laws, We may incur state or local taxes other than premium taxes (including income, franchise and capital taxes) in several states and localities. At present we do not charge the Separate Account for these taxes. We, however, reserve the right to charge the Separate Account for the portion of such taxes, if any, attributable to the Separate Account or the policies.

 

55


DIVERSIFICATION STANDARDS AND CONTROL ISSUES

In addition to other requirements imposed by the IRC, a policy will qualify as life insurance under the IRC only if the diversification requirements of IRC Section 817(h) are satisfied by the Separate Account. We intend for the Separate Account to comply with IRC Section 817(h) and related regulations. To satisfy these diversification standards, the regulations generally require that on the last day of each calendar quarter, no more than 55% of the value of a Separate Account’s assets can be represented by any one investment, no more than 70% can be represented by any two investments, no more than 80% can be represented by any three investments, and no more than 90% can be represented by any four investments. For purposes of these rules, all securities of the same issuer generally are treated as a single investment, but each U.S. Government agency or instrumentality is treated as a separate issuer. Under a “look through” rule, We are able to meet the diversification requirements by looking through the Separate Account to the underlying Eligible Portfolio. Each of the Funds has committed to us that the Eligible Portfolios will meet the diversification requirements.

The IRS has stated in published rulings that a variable policyowner will be considered the owner of separate account assets if he or she possesses incidents of ownership in those assets, such as the ability to exercise investment control over the assets. In those circumstances, income and gains from the separate account assets would be includable in the variable policyowner’s gross income. In connection with its issuance of temporary regulations under IRC Section 817(h) in 1986, the Treasury Department announced that such temporary regulations did not provide guidance concerning the extent to which policyowners could be permitted to direct their investments to particular Investment Divisions of a separate account and that guidance on this issue would be forthcoming. Regulations addressing this issue have not yet been issued or proposed. The ownership rights under your policy are similar to, but different in certain respects from, those described by the IRS in rulings in which it was determined that policyowners were not owners of separate account assets. For example, you have additional flexibility in allocating premium payments and policy Cash Values. These differences could result in your being treated as the owner of your policy’s pro rata portion of the assets of the Separate Account. In addition, We do not know what standards will be set forth, if any, in the regulations or ruling which the Treasury Department has stated it expects to issue. We therefore reserve the right to modify the policy, as deemed appropriate by us, to attempt to prevent you from being considered the owner of your policy’s pro rata share of the assets of the Separate Account. Moreover, in the event that regulations are adopted or rulings are issued, there can be no assurance that the Eligible Portfolios will continue to be available, will be able to operate as currently described in the Fund prospectuses, or that a Fund will not have to change an Eligible Portfolio’s investment objective or investment policies.

LIFE INSURANCE STATUS OF POLICY

We believe that the policy meets the statutory definition of life insurance under IRC Section 7702 and that you and the beneficiary of your policy, subject to the discussion below under “IRC Section 101(j)—Impact on Employer-Owned Policies”, will receive the same federal income tax treatment as that accorded to owners and beneficiaries of fixed benefit life insurance policies. Specifically, subject to the discussion below under “IRC Section 101(j)—Impact on Employer-Owned Policies”, We believe that the Life Insurance Benefit under your policy will be excludable from the gross income of the beneficiary subject to the terms and conditions of Section 101(a)(1) of the IRC. Pursuant to Section 101(g) of the IRC, amounts received by the policyowner may also be excludable from the policyowner’s gross income when the insured has a terminal illness and benefits are paid under the Living Benefits Rider. (Life insurance benefits under a “modified endowment contract” as discussed below are treated in the same manner as Life Insurance Benefits under life insurance policies that are not so classified.)

In addition, unless the policy is a “modified endowment contract,” in which case the receipt of any loan under the policy may result in recognition of income to the policyowner, We believe that the policyowner will not be deemed to be in constructive receipt of the cash values, including increments thereon, under the policy until proceeds of the policy are received upon a surrender of the policy or a partial withdrawal or, in certain circumstances where there is an existing policy loan, upon a surrender or lapse of the policy.

 

56


We reserve the right to make changes to the policy if We think it is appropriate to attempt to assure qualification of the policy as a life insurance contract. If a policy were determined not to qualify as life insurance, the policy would not provide the tax advantages normally provided by life insurance.

IRC SECTION 101(J)—IMPACT OF EMPLOYER-OWNED POLICIES

For an “employer-owned life insurance contract” issued after August 17, 2006 (unless issued in a 1035 exchange for a contract originally issued prior to that date where the new contract is not materially different from the exchanged contract), if certain specific requirements described below are not satisfied, the IRC Section 101(j) generally requires policy beneficiaries to treat death proceeds paid under such contract as income to the extent such proceeds exceed the premiums and other amounts paid by the policyholder for the contract. This rule of income inclusion will not apply if, before the policy is issued, the employer-policyholder provides certain written notice to and obtains certain written consents from insureds (who must be United States citizens or residents) in circumstances where:

(1) the insured was an individual who was an employee within 12 months of his death;

(2) the insured was a “highly compensated employee” at the time the contract was issued. In general, highly compensated employees for this purpose are more than 5 percent owners, employees who for the preceding year received in excess of $115,000 (for 2012), directors and anyone else in the top 35 percent of employees based on compensation;

(3) the death proceeds are paid to a family member of the insured (as defined under Code Section 267 (c)(4)), an individual who is a designated beneficiary of the insured under the policy (other than the policyholder), a trust established for either the family member’s or beneficiary’s benefit, or the insured’s estate; or

(4) the death proceeds are used to buy an equity interest in the policyholder from the family member, beneficiary, trust or estate.

Policyholders that own one or more contracts subject to the Act will also be subject to annual reporting and record-keeping requirements. In particular, such policyholders must file Form 8925 annually with their U.S. income tax return.

You should consult with your tax advisor to determine whether and to what extent the Act may apply to the Policy. Assuming the Act applies, you should, to the extent appropriate, (in consultation with your tax advisor), take the necessary steps, before you acquire the Policy, to ensure that the income inclusion rule described above does not apply to the Policy.

MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACT STATUS

Internal Revenue Code Section 7702A defines a class of life insurance policies referred to as modified endowment contracts. Under this provision, the policies will be treated for tax purposes in one of two ways. Policies that are not classified as modified endowment contracts will be taxed as conventional life insurance policies, as described below. Taxation of pre-death distributions (including loans) from policies that are classified as modified endowment contracts is somewhat different, as described below.

A life insurance policy becomes a “modified endowment contract” if, at any time during the first seven policy years, the sum of actual premiums paid exceeds the sum of the “seven-pay premiums.” Generally, the “seven-pay premium” is the level annual premium, such that if paid for each of the first seven policy years, will fully pay for all future life insurance and endowment benefits under a life insurance policy. For example, if the “seven-pay premium” was $1,000, the maximum premium that could be paid during the first seven policy years to avoid “modified endowment” treatment would be $1,000 in the first year, $2,000 through the first two years and $3,000 through the first three years, etc. Under this test, a policy may or may not be a modified endowment contract, depending on the amount of premium paid during each of the policy’s first seven years. A policy received in exchange for a modified endowment contract will be taxed as a modified endowment contract even if it would otherwise satisfy the seven-pay test.

 

57


Certain changes in the terms of a policy, including a reduction in Life Insurance Benefits, will require a policy to be retested to determine whether the change has caused the policy to become a modified endowment contract. A reduction in Life Insurance Benefits will require retesting at any time during the policy’s life. In addition, if a “material change” occurs at any time while the policy is in force, a new seven-pay test period will start and the policy will need to be retested to determine whether it continues to meet the seven-pay test. A “material change” generally includes increases in Life Insurance Benefits, but does not include an increase in Life Insurance Benefits which is attributable to the payment of premiums necessary to fund the lowest level of Life Insurance Benefits payable during the first seven Policy Years, or which is attributable to the crediting of interest with respect to such premiums.

Because the policy provides for flexible premiums, NYLIAC has instituted procedures to monitor whether, under our current interpretation of the law, increases in Life Insurance Benefits or additional premiums cause either the start of a new seven-year test period or the taxation of distributions and loans. All additional premiums will be considered in these determinations.

If a policy fails the seven-pay test, all distributions (including loans) occurring in the Policy Year of failure and thereafter will be subject to the rules for modified endowment contracts. A recapture provision also applies to loans and distributions that are received in anticipation of failing the seven-pay test. Under the IRC, any distribution or loan made within two Policy Years prior to the date that a policy fails the seven-pay test is considered to have been made in anticipation of the failure.

Any amounts distributed under a “modified endowment contract” (including proceeds of any loan) are taxable to the extent of any accumulated income in the policy. Penalty taxes may apply to such taxable amounts as well. In general, the amount that may be subject to tax is the excess of the Cash Value (both loaned and unloaned) over the previously unrecovered premiums paid.

For purposes of determining the amount of income received upon a distribution (or loan) from a modified endowment contract, the IRC requires the aggregation of all modified endowment contracts issued to the same policyowner by an insurer and its affiliates within the same calendar year. Therefore, loans and distributions from any one such policy are taxable to the extent of the income accumulated in all the modified endowment contracts required to be so aggregated.

If any amount is taxable as a distribution of income under a modified endowment contract (as a result of a policy surrender, a partial withdrawal, or a loan), it may also be subject to a 10% penalty tax under IRC Section 72(v). Limited exceptions from the additional penalty tax are available for certain distributions to individuals who own policies. The penalty tax will not apply to distributions: (i) that are made on or after the date the taxpayer attains age 591/2; or (ii) that are attributable to the taxpayer’s becoming disabled; or (iii) that are part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (made not less frequently than annually) made for the life or life expectancy of the taxpayer or for the joint lives or joint life expectancies of the taxpayer and his or her beneficiary.

STATUS OF THE POLICY AFTER THE YOUNGER INSURED IS AGE 100

The policy provides that beginning on the policy anniversary on which the younger insured is, or would have been, age 100, the Face Amount, as shown on page 2 of the policy, will no longer apply. Instead, the life insurance benefit under the policy will equal the Cash Value. The IRS has not issued final guidance on the status of a life insurance policy after the younger insured becomes age 100. There is a risk that the policy may not qualify as life insurance under the Federal tax law after the younger insured becomes age 100 and that the policyowner may become subject to adverse tax consequences at that time. For this reason, a tax advisor should be consulted about the advisability of continuing the policy after the younger insured becomes age 100.

POLICY SURRENDERS AND PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS

Upon a full surrender of a policy for its Cash Surrender Value, you will recognize ordinary income for federal tax purposes to the extent that the Cash Value less surrender charges and any uncollected additional contract charges, exceeds the investment in your policy (the total of all premiums paid but not previously recovered plus any other consideration paid for the policy). The tax consequences of a partial withdrawal from

 

58


your policy will depend upon whether the partial withdrawal results in a reduction of future benefits under your policy and whether your policy is a modified endowment contract. If upon a full surrender of a policy the premium payments made exceed the surrender proceeds plus the amount of any outstanding loans, you will recognize a loss, which is not deductible for federal income tax purposes.

If your policy is not a modified endowment contract, the general rule is that a partial withdrawal from a policy is taxable only to the extent that it exceeds the total investment in the policy. An exception to this general rule applies, however, if a reduction of future benefits occurs during the first fifteen years after a policy is issued and there is a cash distribution associated with that reduction. In such a case, the IRC prescribes a formula under which you may be taxed on all or a part of the amount distributed. After fifteen years, cash distributions from a policy that is not a modified endowment contract will not be subject to federal income tax, except to the extent they exceed the total investment in the policy. We suggest that you consult with a tax advisor in advance of a proposed decrease in Face Amount or a partial withdrawal.

3.8 PERCENT MEDICARE TAX ON CERTAIN INVESTMENT INCOME

Beginning in 2013, in general, a tax of 3.8 percent will apply to net investment income (“NII”) received by an individual taxpayer to the extent his or her modified adjusted gross income (“MAGI”) exceeds certain thresholds (e.g., $250,000 in the case of taxpayers filing jointly, $125,000 in the case of a married taxpayer filing separately and $200,000 in the case of other individual taxpayers). For this purpose, NII includes (i) gross income from various investments, including gross income received with respect to annuities that are not held through a tax-qualified plan (e.g., a traditional IRA or Section 403(b) plan) and (ii) net gain attributable to the disposition of property. Such NII (as well as gross income from tax qualified plans) will also increase a taxpayer’s MAGI for purposes of the taxable thresholds described above. This tax also applies to trusts and estates under a special set of rules. The IRS and the Treasury Department have not yet provided guidance regarding this new tax. You should consult your tax advisor to determine the applicability of this tax in your individual circumstances and with respect to any amount received in connection with the surrender of this policy, distributions or withdrawals from this policy or the exercise of other rights and features under this policy (including policy loans).

POLICY LOANS AND INTEREST DEDUCTIONS

We believe that under current law any loan received under your policy will be treated as policy debt to you and that, unless your policy is a modified endowment contract, no part of any loan under your policy will constitute income to you. If your policy is a modified endowment contract (see discussion above) loans will be fully taxable to the extent of the income in the policy (and in any other contracts with which it must be aggregated) and could be subject to the additional 10% penalty tax described above. Finally, it is possible that a loan could be treated as a taxable distribution if there is no spread or a very small spread between the interest rate charged on the loan and the interest rate credited to the loaned amount.

Internal Revenue Code Section 264 provides that interest paid or accrued on a loan in connection with a policy is generally nondeductible. Certain exceptions apply, however, with respect to policies covering key employees. In addition, in the case of policies not held by individuals, special rules may limit the deductibility of interest on loans that are not made in connection with a policy. We suggest consultation with a tax advisor for further guidance.

In addition, if your policy lapses or you surrender it with an outstanding loan, and the amount of the loan plus the Cash Surrender Value is more than the sum of premiums you paid, you will generally be liable for taxes on the excess. Such amount will be taxed as ordinary income. A 10% penalty tax may apply as well. Finally, it is possible that a loan could be treated as a taxable distribution if there is no spread or a very small spread between the interest rate charged on the loan and the interest rate credited to the loaned amount.

CORPORATE OWNERS

Ownership of a policy by a corporation may affect the policyowner’s exposure to the corporate alternative minimum tax. In determining whether it is subject to alternative minimum tax, a corporate policyowner must make two computations. First, the corporation must take into account a portion of the current year’s increase in

 

59


the “inside build up” or income on the contract gain in its corporate-owned policies. Second, the corporation must take into account a portion of the amount by which the death benefits received under any policy exceed the sum of (i) the premiums paid on that policy in the year of death, and (ii) the corporation’s basis in the policy (as measured for alternative minimum tax purposes) as of the end of the corporation’s tax year immediately preceding the year of death.

EXCHANGES OR ASSIGNMENTS OF POLICIES

If you change the policyowner or exchange or assign your policy, it may have significant tax consequences depending on the circumstances. For example, an assignment or exchange of the policy may result in taxable income to you. Further, IRC Section 101(a) provides, subject to certain exceptions, that where a policy has been transferred for value, only the portion of the Life Insurance Benefit which is equal to the total consideration paid for the policy may be excluded from gross income. For complete information with respect to policy assignments and exchanges, a qualified tax advisor should be consulted.

REASONABLENESS REQUIREMENT FOR CHARGES

Another provision of the tax law deals with allowable charges for mortality costs and other expenses that are used in making calculations to determine whether a policy qualifies as life insurance for federal income tax purposes. For life insurance policies entered into on or after October 21, 1988, these calculations must be based upon reasonable mortality charges and other charges reasonably expected to be actually paid. The Treasury Department has issued proposed regulations and is expected to promulgate temporary or final regulations governing reasonableness standards for mortality charges.

LIVING BENEFITS RIDER (ALSO KNOWN AS ACCELERATED BENEFITS RIDER)

A Living Benefits Rider is available in connection with the policy. Amounts received under this rider will generally be excludable from your gross income under Section 101(g) of the IRC. The exclusion from gross income will not apply, however, if you are not the Primary Insured and if you have an insurable interest in the life of the Primary Insured either because the Primary Insured is your director, officer or employee, or because the insured has a financial interest in a business of yours.

In some cases, there may be a question as to whether a life insurance policy that has an accelerated living benefit rider can meet certain technical aspects of the definition of “life insurance contract” under the IRC. We reserve the right (but we are not obligated) to modify the rider to conform with requirements the IRS may prescribe.

OTHER TAX ISSUES

Federal gift and estate and state and local gift, estate, inheritance, and other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of Policy Proceeds depend on the circumstances of each policyowner or beneficiary. You should consult your own tax advisor as to how your particular circumstances may be impacted by any of these taxes.

QUALIFIED PLANS

The policies are intended to be used with plans qualified under IRC Section 401 (a). While these plans include profit sharing plans, 401 (k) plans, money purchase pension plans and defined benefit plans, purchasers of these policies should seek legal and tax advice regarding the suitability of these policies for all types of plans qualified under Section 401 (a). Generally, employer contributions to plans qualified under Section 401 (a) and earnings thereon are not taxed to participants until distributed in accordance with plan provisions.

WITHHOLDING

Under Section 3405 of the IRC, withholding is generally required with respect to certain taxable distributions under insurance policies. In the case of periodic payments (payments made as an annuity or on a similar basis), the withholding is at graduated rates (as though the payments were employee wages). With

 

60


respect to non-periodic distributions, the withholding is at a flat rate of 10%. If you are an individual, you can elect to have either non-periodic or periodic payments made without withholding except where your tax identification number has not been furnished to us, or where the IRS has notified us that a tax identification number is incorrect. If you are not an individual, you may not elect out of such withholding.

Different withholding rules apply to payments made to U.S. citizens living outside the United States and to non-U.S. citizens living outside of the United States. U.S. citizens who live outside of the United States generally are not permitted to elect not to have federal income taxes withheld from payments. Payments to non-U.S. citizens who are not residents of the United States generally are subject to 30% withholding, unless an income tax treaty between their country of residence and the United States provides for a lower rate of withholding or an exemption from withholding.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

NYLIAC is a defendant in lawsuits arising from its agency sales force, insurance (including variable contracts registered under Federal securities law), and/or other operations. Most of these actions seek substantial or unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. NYLIAC is also from time to time involved in various governmental, administrative, and investigative proceedings and inquiries.

Notwithstanding the uncertain nature of litigation and regulatory inquiries, the outcome of which cannot be predicted, NYLIAC believes that, after provisions made in the financial statements, the ultimate liability that could result from litigation and proceedings would not have a material adverse effect on NYLIAC’s financial position; however, it is possible, that settlements or adverse determinations in one or more actions or other proceedings in the future could have a material adverse effect on NYLIAC’s operating results for a given year.

RECORDS AND REPORTS

New York Life or NYLIAC maintains all records and accounts relating to the Separate Account, the Fixed Account and the DCA Plus Account. Each year we will mail you a report showing the Cash Value, Cash Surrender Value, and outstanding loans (including accrued loan interest) as of the latest policy anniversary. This report contains any additional information required by any applicable law or regulation. We will also mail you a report each quarter showing this same information as of the end of the previous quarter. This quarterly statement reports transactions that you have requested or authorized. Please review it carefully. If you believe it contains an error, we must be notified within 15 days of the date of the statement.

Generally, NYLIAC will immediately mail you confirmation of any transactions involving the Separate Account. When We receive premium payments on your behalf involving the Separate Account initiated through pre-authorized monthly deductions from banks (“Check-o-Matic”), payments forwarded by your employer (“list billing”), or through other payments made by pre-authorized deductions to which We agree, a summary of these policy transactions will only appear on your quarterly statement and you will not receive a confirmation statement after each such transaction.

It is important that you inform NYLIAC of an address change so that you can receive these policy statements (please refer to the section on “Management and Organization—Our Rights—How To Reach Us for Policy Services”). In the event your statement is returned from the US Postal Service as undeliverable, we reserve the right to suspend mailing future correspondence and also suspend current transaction processing until a correct address is obtained. Additionally, no new service requests can be processed until a valid current address is provided.

Reports and promotional literature may contain the ratings New York Life and NYLIAC have received from independent rating agencies. Both companies are among only a few companies that have consistently received among the highest possible ratings from the four major independent rating companies for financial strength and stability: A.M. Best, Fitch, Moody’s Investor’s Services, Inc. and Standard and Poor’s. However, neither New York Life nor NYLIAC guarantees the investment performance of the Investment Divisions.

APPENDIX A

SERIES 2 ILLUSTRATIONS

The following tables demonstrate the way your policy works. The tables are based on the gender, age, underwriting class, for each of the Insureds, initial Life Insurance Benefit, and premium as follows:

The tables are for a policy issued to a male with Preferred underwriting class and issue age 55, and a female with Preferred underwriting class and issue age 50 with a planned annual premium of $15,000, a Surrender Charge Premium of $12,662.14, an initial face amount of $1,000,000, and no riders. It assumes that the Cash Value Accumulation Test was used and that 100% of the net premium is allocated to the Separate Account for Series 2.

The tables show how the Life Insurance Benefit, Cash Value and Cash Surrender Value would vary over an extended period of time assuming hypothetical gross rates of return equivalent to a constant annual rate of 0%, 6%, or 10%. The tables will assist in the comparison of the Life Insurance Benefit, Cash Value and Cash Surrender Value of the policy with other variable life insurance plans.

The Life Insurance Benefit, Cash Value and Cash Surrender Value for a policy would be different from the amounts shown if the actual gross rates of return averaged 0%, 6%, or 10%, but varied above or below those averages for the period. They would also be different depending on the allocation of the assets among the Investment Divisions of the Separate Account and the Fixed Account, if the actual gross rate of return for all Investment Divisions averaged 0%, 6%, or 10%, but varied above or below that average for Individual Investment Divisions. They would also differ if any policy loans or partial surrenders were made or if premium payments were not paid on the policy anniversary during the period of time illustrated. Depending on the timing and degree of fluctuation, the actual values could be substantially more or less than those shown. A lower value may, under certain circumstances, result in the lapse of the policy unless the policyowner pays more than the stated premium.

Table 1 reflects all deductions and charges under the policy and assumes that the cost of insurance charges are based on the current cost of insurance rates. These deductions and charges, include all charges from planned premium payments and the Cash Value at their current levels.

For Series 2, Table 1 reflects a monthly Mortality and Expense Risk charge (for Series 2 only) equal to an annual rate of 0.60% (on a current basis) of the Separate Account Value, and a monthly asset based administrative charge equal to an annual rate of 0.10% of the Separate Account Value.

Table 2 reflects all deductions and charges under the policy and assumes that the cost of insurance charges are based on the guaranteed cost of insurance rates. These deductions and charges include all charges from planned premium payments and the Cash Value at their guaranteed levels.

For Series 2, Table 2 reflects a monthly Mortality and Expense Risk charge (for Series 2 only) equal to an annual rate of 0.90% (on a guaranteed basis) of the Separate Account Value and a monthly asset based administrative charge equal to an annual rate of 0.10% of the Separate Account Value.

All tables reflect total assumed investment advisory fees together with other expenses incurred by the funds of 0.81% of the average daily net assets of the Funds. This total is based upon an arithmetic average of the management fees, administrative fees and the other expenses after expense reimbursement for each Investment Division. Please refer to the Fee Table in this prospectus for details of the underlying Fund fees.

For Series 2 taking into account the arithmetic average investment advisory fees and expenses of the Funds, the gross rates of return of 0%, 6%, and 10% would correspond to illustrated net investment returns of –0.81%, 5.14% and 9.11%, respectively.

The actual investment advisory fees and expenses may be more or less than the amounts illustrated and will depend on the allocations made by the policyowner.

NYLIAC will furnish, upon request, a comparable illustration using the age, gender, and underwriting classification of the insureds for any initial Life Insurance Benefit and premium request. In addition to an illustration assuming policy charges at their maximum, we will furnish an illustration assuming current policy charges and current cost of insurance rates.

(1) Assumes no policy loan or partial withdrawal has been made.

We emphasize that the hypothetical investment rates of return shown above are illustrative only and you should not deem them to be a representation of past or future investment rates of return. Actual rates of return may be more or less than those shown and will depend on a number of factors including the investment allocations made by a policyowner and the investment experience of the portfolios of the Funds. The death benefit, Cash Value, and Cash Surrender Value for a policy would be different from those shown if the actual gross annual rates or return averaged 0%, 6%, or 10% over a period of years, but also fluctuated above or below those averages for individual Policy Years. They would also be different if any policy loans or partial surrenders were made. Neither NYLIAC, the Separate Account, nor the Funds represent that these hypothetical rates or return can be achieved for any one year or sustained over a period of time.

GENERAL INFORMATION AND HISTORY

The SVUL prospectus and SAI describe two flexible premium survivorship variable universal life insurance policies that NYLIAC issues. Series 1 is a policy NYLIAC offered for sale prior to May 10, 2002 and Series 2 is a SVUL 2000 policy NYLIAC offered for sale since May 10, 2002, where approved. Both Series 1 and Series 2 policies are no longer being offered. However we will still accept additional premiums under existing policies.

About NYLIAC

NYLIAC is a stock life insurance company incorporated in Delaware in 1980. NYLIAC is licensed to sell life, accident, and health insurance and annuities in the District of Columbia and all states. In addition to the policies described in the prospectus, NYLIAC offers other life insurance policies and annuities. NYLIAC’s financial statements are also included in this SAI. NYLIAC’s principal business address is 51 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10010.

NYLIAC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of New York Life Insurance Company (“New York Life”), a mutual life insurance company founded in New York in 1845. NYLIAC had total assets amounting to $117.9 billion at the end of 2011. New York Life has invested in NYLIAC, and will occasionally make additional contributions to NYLIAC in order to maintain capital and surplus in accordance with state requirements.

About NYLIAC Variable Universal Life Separate Account—I

NYLIAC Variable Universal Life Separate Account—I (the “Separate Account”) is a segregated asset account that NYLIAC established to receive and invest your net premiums. NYLIAC established the Separate Account on June 4, 1993 under the laws of the State of Delaware, in accordance with resolutions set forth by the NYLIAC Board of Directors. The Separate Account is registered as a unit investment trust with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended. This registration does not mean that the SEC supervises the management, investment practices, or policies of the Separate Account.

Tax Status of NYLIAC and the Separate Account

NYLIAC is taxed as a life insurance company under IRC Subchapter L. The Separate Account is not a taxable entity separate from NYLIAC, and we take its operations into account in determining NYLIAC’s income tax liability. As a result, NYLIAC takes into account applicable tax attributes of the assets of the Separate Account on its corporate income tax return, including corporate dividends received deductions and foreign tax credits that may be produced by assets of the Separate Account. All investment income and realized net capital gains on the assets of the Separate Account are reinvested and taken into account in determining policy Cash Values and are applied automatically to increase the book reserves associated with the policies. Under existing federal income tax law, NYLIAC believes that Separate Account investment income and realized net capital gains should not be taxed to the extent that such income and gains are retained as part of the tax-deductible reserves under the policy.

The Funds and Eligible Portfolios offered though this product are selected by NYLIAC based on several criteria, including asset class coverage, the strength of the manager’s reputation and tenure, brand recognition, performance, and the capability and qualification of each sponsoring investment firm. An affiliate of NYLIAC manages the MainStay VP Funds Trust and that was a factor in its selection. Another factor that NYLAIC considers during the selection process is whether the Fund or Eligible Portfolio or an affiliate of the Fund will compensate NYLIAC for providing administrative, marketing, and support services that would otherwise be provided by the Fund, the Fund’s investment advisor, or its distributor.

The Funds’ shares may be available to certain separate accounts we use to fund our variable annuity policies. This is called “mixed funding.” The Funds’ shares may be available to separate accounts of insurance companies that are not affiliated with NYLIAC and, in certain instances, to qualified plans. This is called “shared funding.” Although we do not anticipate that any difficulties will result from mixed and shared funding, it is possible that differences in tax treatment and other considerations may cause the interests of owners of various contracts participating in the Funds to be in conflict. The Board of Directors/Trustees of each Fund, the Funds’ investment advisers, and NYLIAC are required to monitor events to identify any material conflicts that arise from the use of the Funds for mixed and shared funding. In the event of a material conflict, we could be required to withdraw from an Eligible Portfolio. For more information about the risks of mixed and shared funding, please refer to the relevant Fund prospectus.

The investment experience of an Investment Division of the Separate Account reflects increases or decreases in the net asset value of the shares of the underlying Fund, any dividend or capital gains distributions declared by the Fund, and any charges against the assets of the Investment Division. We determine this investment experience each Valuation Day, which is when the net asset value of the underlying Fund is determined. The actual net rate of return for an Investment Division measures the investment experience from the end of one Valuation Day to the end of the next Valuation Day.

Additions, Deletions, or Substitutions of Investments

We may add, delete, or substitute the Eligible Portfolio shares held by any Investment Division, within certain limits. We may eliminate the shares of any of the Eligible Portfolios and substitute shares of another Portfolio of a Fund or of another registered open-end management investment company or other investment vehicles. We may do this if the shares of an Eligible Portfolio are no longer available for investment or if we, in our sole discretion, decide that investment in an Eligible Portfolio is inappropriate given the purposes of the Separate Account. A new Eligible Portfolio may have higher fees and charges than the one it replaces. We will not substitute shares attributable to your interest in an Investment Division until you have been notified of the change, as required by the 1940 Act and we have obtained any necessary regulatory approvals.

 

4


We may establish new Investment Divisions and/or eliminate one or more Investment Divisions when marketing, tax, investment, or other conditions make it appropriate. We may decide whether or not the new Investment Divisions should be made available to existing policyowners.

If we make a substitution or change to the Investment Divisions, we may change your policy to reflect such substitution or change. We also reserve the right to: (a) operate the Separate Account as a management company under the 1940 Act, (b) deregister it under such Act in the event such registration is no longer required, (c) combine the Separate Account with one or more other separate accounts, and (d) restrict or eliminate the voting rights of persons having voting rights as to the Separate Account, as permitted by law.

Reinvestment

We automatically reinvest all dividends and capital gains distributions from Eligible Portfolios in additional shares of the distributing Portfolio at their net asset value on the date the dividends or distributions are paid.

Changing the Face Amount of Your Policy

You can request an increase in the face amount of your policy if all of the following conditions are met:

 

   

both insureds are still living;

 

   

the older Insured is age 90 or younger;

 

   

the increase you are requesting is at least $5,000 or more;

 

   

the requested increase will not cause the policy’s face amount to exceed our maximum limit on the risk we retain, which we set at our discretion; and

 

   

you submit a written application signed by the insureds and the policyowner(s) to either your registered representative or to VPSC at one of the service addresses listed on the first page of the prospectus (or any other address we indicate to you in writing) along with satisfactory evidence of insurability.

We can limit any increase in the face amount of your policy.

You can request a decrease in the Face Amount of your policy if all of the following conditions are met:

 

   

either insured is still living;

 

   

the decrease you are requesting will not reduce the policy’s Face Amount below the minimum Face Amount of $100,000; and

 

   

you submit a written application signed by the insureds and the policyowner to VPSC at one of the addresses listed on the first page of the prospectus (or any other address we indicate to you in writing).

We may limit any decrease in the face amount of your policy.

Additional Information About the Amount in the Separate Account: Valuation of Accumulation Units

The value of an accumulation unit on any Valuation Day equals the value of an accumulation unit on the preceding Valuation Day multiplied by the net investment factor. We calculate a net investment factor for the period from the close of the New York Stock Exchange on the immediately preceding Valuation Day to its close on the current Valuation Day using the following formula:

Series 11

(a/b) – c

Where: a = the sum of:

 

  (1) the net asset value of the Fund share held in the Separate Account for that Investment Division at the end of the current Valuation Day, plus

 

5


  (2) the per share amount of any dividends or capital gains distributions made by the Fund for shares held in the Separate Account for that Investment Division if the ex-dividend date occurs during such period.

 

  b  = the net asset value of the Fund share held in the Separate Account for that Investment Division at the end of the preceding Valuation Day.

 

  c  = a factor representing the Mortality and Expense Risk and administrative charges. This factor is deducted on a daily basis and is currently equal to an annual rate of 0.70% (the sum of 0.60% and 0.10%) of the value of each Investment Division’s assets.

Series 2

(a/b)

Where: a = the sum of:

 

  (1) the net asset value of the Fund share held in the Separate Account for that Investment Division at the end of the current Valuation Day, plus

 

  (2) the per share amount of any dividends or capital gains distributions made by the Fund for shares held in the Separate Account for that Investment Division if the ex-dividend date occurs during such period.

 

  b  = the net asset value of the Fund share held in the Separate Account for that Investment Division at the end of the preceding Valuation Day.

The net investment factor may be greater or less than one. Therefore, the value of an accumulation unit may increase or decrease.

Additional Benefits Through Riders and Options

The following riders and options are (or have been) available with this policy, and a description of each is provided in the current prospectus:

Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Rider

First-to-Die Monthly Deduction Waiver Rider

Level First-to-Die Term Rider

Life Extension Benefit Rider (Series 2 only)

Living Benefits Rider

Riders and options are subject to regulatory approval in each jurisdiction and may not be available in all jurisdictions. In addition, the rider name and the requirements for any rider may vary by jurisdiction. You should contact your registered representative to determine whether a rider or option you are considering is available in your jurisdiction. Additional information for specific riders and options appears below.

There may be an additional charge for a rider.

Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Rider (GMDB)

Under this rider, if your total monthly deduction charges are greater than your policy’s Cash Surrender Value, we will deduct as much of the monthly deduction charges from the Cash Value as possible. Then, we will waive any excess amount of these charges, including the charge for this and any other rider. Generally, this rider is available with a benefit period of up to the younger insured’s age of 80 or 100. You may choose either expiry date as long as the benefit period is at least ten years.

The premium you must pay under this rider is called the “Monthly Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit (GMDB) premium.” If you elect this rider, you will find the GMDB premium on the Policy Data Page. On the Monthly Deduction Date we will deduct a charge equal to $0.01 per $1,000 multiplied by the sum of your policy’s face amount and the face or benefit amount of any riders. The monthly GMDB premium may change if

 

6


you modify your policy or any of the riders attached to your policy. Although this premium is expressed as a monthly premium, you do not need to pay it on a monthly basis. Rather, we will perform a GMDB Premium Test each month to determine if you have made enough cumulative premium payments to keep the rider in effect.

GMDB Premium Test (performed on each Monthly Deduction Day)

 

Cumulative

premium payments

to date

   less   

Cumulative partial withdrawals

to date

  

must be at least

equal to

   Cumulative monthly GMDB premiums from the Policy Date to the date the test is performed

If your policy does not satisfy the GMDB premium test and your policy fails the test by an amount that is more than one monthly GMDB premium, we will notify you that your policy has failed this test. The rider will terminate unless you make a premium payment in an amount necessary to pass the GMDB premium test before the next Monthly Deduction Day. If the rider terminates, we will reinstate it if we receive the required premium payment before the Monthly Deduction Day that follows the date the rider terminated. If the rider terminates during a period when the rider benefit is in effect, your policy will enter the late period and will lapse unless the required payment is made.

Having this rider affects your ability to take policy loans in the following way:

 

  (a) If you take a loan during the first two Policy Years, this rider will end.

(b) After the first two Policy Years, you may take loans within certain limits. On the day you take a loan (or when any unpaid loan interest is charged as an additional loan), the Cash Surrender Value of your policy less the new loan and the amount of any current outstanding loan balance must be greater than the cumulative monthly GMDB premiums which were required up to the time you take the loan, accumulated at an annual effective interest rate of up to 6.0% as of that date.

First-To-Die Monthly Deduction Waiver Rider

If either Insured dies while this rider is in effect, we will waive your policy’s monthly deductions listed below from cash value for the remainder of the policy. The charges we will waive under this rider are:

(a) the monthly contract charge;

(b) the monthly cost of insurance charge for the base policy (not including riders);

(c) the charge per $1,000 of the current face amount (not including riders), which only applies during the first three Policy Years (for Series 2); the charge per $1,000 of the initial face amount (not including riders), which only applies during the first three Policy Years (for Series 1); and

(d) any monthly rider charges.

These deductions are described in more detail under DEDUCTIONS AND CHARGES—Deductions from Cash Value and on the Policy Data Page.

There is an additional charge for this rider.

Level First-To-Die Rider

This rider provides a level term insurance death benefit which we will pay when either Insured dies while this rider is in effect. We will only pay the benefit under this rider once even if both Insureds die at the same time.

You may decrease the face amount of this rider as long as you do not decrease it below the minimum amount we require to issue the rider. You may not increase the face amount of this rider.

There is an additional charge for this rider.

 

7


Life Extension Rider (Series 2 only)

This rider becomes effective on the policy anniversary on which the younger Insured is (or would have been) age 100. Under this rider, the life insurance benefit will continue to equal the Life Insurance Benefit of the policy effective on the date of the last surviving Insured’s death. Without this rider, on the policy anniversary on which the younger Insured is (or would have been) age 100, the Life Insurance Benefit would be equal to the policy’s Cash Value. You can cancel this rider by sending us a signed written notice. This rider will end on the Monthly Deduction Day on or next following receipt of your request.

The charge for this rider is calculated as a percentage of the cost of insurance charges for the base policy in effect. The percentage is shown on the Policy Data Page. This charge will be deducted from the policy’s Cash Value on each Monthly Deduction Day beginning on the policy anniversary on which the younger Insured is (or would have been) age 90, and continuing until the policy anniversary on which the younger Insured is (or would have been) age 100. When this rider becomes effective, the assets of your policy invested in the Separate Account will be transferred to a cash management Investment Division. Thereafter, transfers can only be made between this Investment Division and the Fixed Account. All other riders attached to the policy will end.

There is an additional charge for this rider.

To cancel this rider, you must send a signed written notice in a form acceptable to us to VPSC at one of the addresses listed on the first page of the prospectus (or any other address we indicate to you in writing). This rider will end on the Monthly Deduction Day on or next following receipt of your request.

Living Benefits Rider

When using this rider, after either Insured dies, if the last surviving Insured has a life expectancy of 12 months or less, you may request a portion or all of the Policy Proceeds as an accelerated death benefit.

You can elect to receive an accelerated death benefit of 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100% of certain eligible proceeds from your Policy Proceeds. We will pay you an amount equal to the results of the following calculation:

 

Calculation Steps

Step 1

Eligible Proceeds x Elected percentage

Step 2

Results of Step 1 x Interest factor (varies)

Step 3

Result of Step 1 – Result of Step 2

Step 4

Result of Step 3 – Unpaid Loan – Administrative Fee

If you accelerate less than 100% of the eligible proceeds, the remaining face amount of your policy after we pay this benefit must be at least $100,000. We do not permit any subsequent acceleration.

Minimum accelerated benefit amount: $25,000

Maximum accelerated benefit amount: $250,000 (total for all of your NYLIAC and affiliated companies’ policies).

 

8


When we make a payment under this rider we will reduce your policy’s face amount, Target Premium, rider death benefits, monthly deductions from Cash Surrender Value, and any unpaid policy loan based on the percentage you elected. We will deduct an administrative fee of up to $150 at the time you exercise the rider.

Amounts received under this rider generally will be excludable from your gross income under IRC Section 101(g). The exclusion from gross income will not apply, however, if you are not the insured or if you do not have an insurable interest in the life of the insured either because the insured is your director, officer, or employee, or because the insured has a financial interest in a business of yours.

In some cases, there may be a question as to whether a life insurance policy that has an accelerated living benefit rider can meet certain technical aspects of the definition of a “life insurance contract” under the IRC. We reserve the right (but we are not obligated) to modify the rider to conform to any requirements the IRS may enact.

Options Available at No Additional Charge

 

   

Policy Split Option

You can exchange your policy, without evidence of insurability, for two equal separate life insurance policies, one on each of the insureds within 6 months of the following two dates:

 

  (1) the date a final divorce decree which terminates the marriage of the insureds has been in effect for six months; or

 

  (2) the effective date of a change in the Federal tax law which results in:

 

  (a) a reduction in the unlimited Federal Estate Tax marital deduction provision (Section 2056 of the IRC), or

 

  (b) a reduction of at least 50% in the level of estate tax rate from the 1986 Tax Act payable on death.

In addition, a split can be made for any other reason we agree.

To request a policy split you must send a written request, in a form acceptable to us, to VSPC at one of the addresses listed on the first page of the prospectus. At the time we receive your request:

 

  (1) Both insureds must be living;

 

  (2) Each new policy will be a variable adjustable life plan which is being offered by us on the date of the exchange; and

 

  (3) An insurable interest must exist between the owner of each new policy and the insured of that new policy under all applicable laws.

About the New Policies

 

   

The Policy Date and Issue Date of each new policy will be the date when you split the policy.

 

   

The face amount of each new policy will equal one half of the face amount of this policy and the face amount of any second-to-die riders. The face amount of any first-to-die riders and the GMDB rider are not included on the new policies.

 

   

The policyowner and beneficiary of each new policy will be the same as under the original policy, unless you state otherwise.

 

   

We will not assess a fee or surrender charge on a policy that is terminating as a result of a policy split. However, we will apply all fees and charges that generally apply to the new policies you are splitting your policy into, including a new surrender charge schedule, to each of the new policies that result from the policy split.

 

   

The cost of insurance rates for each new policy will be based on the insured’s age and gender on the date of the split and most recent underwriting class on the original policy.

 

   

One half of the Cash Value [less unpaid loan and accrued interest] will be allocated as the initial

 

9


 

premium for each new policy.

 

   

If the original policy has been assigned, each new policy will have the same assignment.

 

   

The IRS has ruled that where the insured or insureds of an insurance policy that is exchanged for a new policy are not identical to the insured or insureds of the original policy, the exchange is taxable.

 

   

Dollar Cost Averaging

Dollar Cost Averaging is a systematic method of investing which allows you to purchase shares of the Investment Divisions at regular intervals in fixed dollar amounts so that the cost of your shares is averaged over time and over various market cycles. The main objective of Dollar Cost Averaging is to achieve an average cost per share that is lower than the average price per share in a fluctuating market. Because you transfer the same dollar amount to a given Investment Division with each transfer, you purchase more units in an Investment Division if the value per unit is low and fewer units if the value per unit is high. Therefore, you may achieve a lower than average cost per unit if prices fluctuate over the long term. Similarly, for each transfer out of an Investment Division, you sell more units in an Investment Division if the value is low and fewer units if the value per unit is high. Dollar Cost Averaging does not assure growth or protect against a loss in declining markets. Because it involves continuous investing regardless of price levels, you should consider your financial ability to continue investing during periods of low price levels.

If you decide to use the Dollar Cost Averaging feature, we will ask you to specify:

(1) the dollar amount you want to have transferred (minimum transfer: $100);

(2) the Investment Division you want to transfer money from;

(3) the Investment Divisions and/or Fixed Account you want to transfer money to;

(4) the date on which you would like the transfers to be made, within limits; and

(5) how often you would like the transfers made: monthly, quarterly, semiannually, or annually.

You may not make Dollar Cost Averaging transfers from the Fixed Account, but you can make Dollar Cost Averaging transfers into the Fixed Account. In addition, you cannot make transfers into the DCA Plus Account. Transfers out of the DCA Plus Account are subject to the DCA Plus Program (see below).

We will make Dollar Cost Averaging transfers on the date you specify, or if the date you specify is not a Business Day, on the next Business Day. You can specify any day of the month other than the 29th, 30th or 31st of the month. To process a Dollar Cost Averaging transfer you must send a written request, in a form acceptable to us, to VPSC at one of the addresses listed on the first page of the prospectus (or any other address we indicate to you in writing). NYLIAC must receive the request in writing no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the date the transfer(s) are scheduled to begin. If your request for this option is received less than five (5) Business Days prior to the date you request it to begin, the transfer(s) will begin on the date you have specified in the month following receipt of your request.

The minimum Cash Value required to elect this option is $2,500. We will suspend this feature automatically if the Cash Value is less than $2,000 on a transfer date. Once the Cash Value equals or exceeds $2,000, the Dollar Cost Averaging transfers will resume automatically as last requested.

However, once all money has been transferred to the Investment Divisions of your choice, or the individual separate account fund balance is less than $100.00, the Dollar Cost Averaging Plan will cease. A new request will be required to resume this feature.

You may cancel the Dollar Cost Averaging feature at any time. To cancel the Dollar Cost Averaging feature, you must send a written cancellation request in a form acceptable to us to VPSC at one of the addresses listed on the first page of the prospectus (or any other address we indicate to you in writing). You may not elect Dollar Cost Averaging if you have chosen Automatic Asset Reallocation. However, you have the option of alternating between these two policy features. Dollar Cost Averaging is available when the DCA Plus Program is in place, but funds in the DCA Plus Account are not eligible for Dollar Cost Averaging.

DCA Plus Account (May Be Discontinued At Any Time)

This feature permits you to set up automatic dollar cost averaging using a 12-month DCA Plus Account and is only available at policy issue. The DCA Plus Account will earn a fixed interest rate. This fixed interest rate will be different and generally should earn a higher rate than the Fixed Account. The guaranteed minimum interest rate is the same as the Fixed Account’s minimum interest rate (4% for Survivorship Variable Universal Life). You can request DCA Plus in addition to our existing options.

In order to elect DCA Plus, you must allocate a minimum of $1,000 of your initial premium to the DCA Plus Account. If you do not allocate the minimum amount to the DCA Plus Account, the premium amount will be automatically applied to the Investment Divisions and/or the Fixed Account that you have specified to receive transfers from the DCA Plus Account. You must specify the Investment Divisions into which transfers from the DCA Plus Account are to be made. Amounts in the DCA Plus Account will be transferred to the Investment Divisions within a maximum of 12 monthly transfers. These monthly transfers will begin on a date selected by you. You cannot select the 29th, 30th or 31st as a date for these transfers. Transfers will be made on the same day or on the next Business Day (if the day is not a Business Day) each month for a 12-month period. The amount of transfer will be calculated at the time of the scheduled transfer based on the number of remaining monthly transfers and the remaining value in the DCA Plus Account. For example, the amount of the first monthly transfers out of the DCA Plus Account will equal 1/12 of the value of the DCA Plus Account on the date of the transfer. The amount of the remaining transfers will equal 1/11, 1/10, 1/9, 1/8, 1/7, 1/6, 1/5, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, and the balance, respectively, of the value of the DCA Plus Account on the date of each transfer.

Any subsequent premium allocated to DCA Plus that we receive during the 12 months of DCA Plus will be added to the existing balance in the DCA Plus Account and be subsequently transferred out in accordance with the remaining transfers. These subsequent premium contributions will be credited with the current interest rate for the DCA Plus Account in effect on the Business Day the premium is received. Interest rates for subsequent premium payments into the Fixed Account and DCA Plus Account may be different from the rate applied to prior premium payments made into the Fixed Account or DCA Plus Account. Amounts in the DCA Plus Account only earn the DCA Plus Account interest rate when they are in the DCA Plus Account waiting to be transferred to the Investment Divisions. Because the entire initial premium is not in the DCA Plus Account for the full year, the annual effective rate will not be achieved. Only new premium contributions can be added to the DCA Plus Account while active. Transfers into the DCA Plus Account are not permitted. The entire value of the DCA Plus Account will be transferred out during the 12 month period or sooner if the balance falls below $100.00. If on any given month, the amount of a transfer would leave a balance of less than $100.00 in the DCA Plus Account, the entire balance will be transferred out at this point. Once the balance of the DCA Plus Account reaches zero, DCA Plus ends. If an additional premium payment is allocated to the DCA Plus Account, after the duration period has expired or the DCA Plus Account balance has reached zero, the premium contribution will be allocated to the DCA Plus destination funds and you will be notified that your allocations should be changed to reflect the end of DCA Plus.

You can make partial withdrawals, loans, and transfers (in addition to the automatic transfers described above) from the DCA Plus Account. Loans from the DCA Plus Account will be repaid to the Fixed Account.

You may cancel the DCA Plus Account at any time. To cancel the DCA Plus Account, you must send a written cancellation request in a form acceptable to us to VPSC at one of the addresses listed on the first page of the prospectus (or any other address we indicate to you in writing).

Use of the DCA Plus Account does not assure growth or protect against loss in declining markets. Assets in our General Account support the DCA Plus Account.

 

   

Automatic Asset Reallocation

This option allows you to maintain a set investment mix. For example, you could specify that 50% of the amount you have in the Investment Divisions of the Separate Account be allocated to a particular Investment Division, and the other 50% be allocated to another Investment Division. Over time, the variations in each of these Investment Divisions would cause this balance to shift. If you elect to have the Automatic Asset

 

11


Reallocation (AAR) feature, we will automatically reallocate the amount you have in the Separate Account among the various Investment Divisions so that they are invested in the percentages you specify.

We will make AAR transfers on the date you specify, of if the date you specify is not a Business Day, on the next Business Day. You can choose to schedule the investment allocations quarterly, semiannually or annually, but not on a monthly basis. You can specify any day of the month other than the 29th, 30th or 31st. Your AAR will be cancelled if a premium allocation change or fund transfer is submitted on your behalf and the AAR is not also modified at the time to be consistent with your fund transfer and premium allocation changes. To process AAR transfers, you must send a written request in a form acceptable to VPSC at one of the addresses listed on the first page of the Prospectus (or any other addresses we indicate to you in writing). NYLIAC must receive the request in writing no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the date the transfer(s) are scheduled to begin. If your request for this option is received less than five (5) Business Days prior to the date you request it to begin, the transfer(s) will begin on the date you have specified in the month following receipt of your request.

The minimum Separate Account Value is $2,500. We will suspend this feature automatically if the Separate Account Value is less than $2,000 on a reallocation date. Once the Separate Account Value equals or exceeds this amount, AAR will resume automatically as scheduled. There is no minimum amount that you must allocate among Investment Divisions for this feature.

You can cancel or modify the AAR feature at any time. To cancel or modify the AAR feature, you may call us at 1-800-598-2019 or send a written cancellation request in a form acceptable to VPSC at one of the addresses listed on the first page of the Prospectus (or any other address we indicate to you in writing). You cannot elect AAR if you have chosen Dollar Cost Averaging. However, you have the option of alternating between the two features. AAR is available when the DCA Plus Program is in place but funds in the DCA Plus Account are not eligible for AAR.

 

   

Interest Sweep

You can choose to make interest sweep transfers out of the Fixed Account if the amount in the Fixed Account is at least $2,500. We will make all Interest Sweep transfers on the date you specify or, if the date you specify is not a Business Day, on the next Business Day. You can specify any day of the month to make these automatic transfers, other than the 29th, 30th, or 31st of the month. We will not process an interest sweep transfer unless we have received a written request, in a form acceptable to us, at VPSC at one of the addresses listed on the first page of the prospectus (or any other address we indicate to you in writing). NYLIAC must receive the request in writing not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the date the transfer(s) are scheduled to begin. If your request for this option is received less than five (5) Business Days prior to the date you request it to begin, the transfer(s) will begin on the date you have specified in the month following receipt of your request.

You cannot choose the interest sweep feature if you have instructed us to pay any part of your policy charges from the Fixed Account. If you want to elect the interest sweep feature and you want to allocate your charges, you must allocate your charges to the MainStay VP Cash Management Investment Division.

You can request interest sweep in addition to either the Dollar Cost Averaging or Automatic Asset Reallocation feature. If an interest sweep transfer is scheduled for the same day as a Dollar Cost Averaging or Automatic Asset Reallocation transfer, we will process the interest sweep transfer first.

If an interest sweep transfer would cause more than 10% of the amount you have in the Fixed Account at the beginning of the Policy Year to be transferred from the Fixed Account, we will not process the transfer and we will suspend the interest sweep feature. If the amount you have in the Fixed Account is less than $2,000, we will automatically suspend this feature. Once the amount you have in the Fixed Account equals or exceeds $2,000, the interest sweep feature will resume automatically as scheduled. You can cancel the interest sweep feature at any time by written request. To cancel the interest sweep feature, you must send a written cancellation request in a form acceptable to us to VPSC at one of the addresses listed on the first page of the prospectus (or any other address we indicate to you in writing). Interest Sweep is available when the DCA Plus Program is in place, but funds in the DCA Plus Account are not eligible for Interest Sweep.

Changing Your Life Insurance Benefit Option

You can change the Life Insurance Benefit Option to Option 2 or Option 1 while both insureds are living, and to Option 1 if only one insured is living. For Series 2, changes to Option 3 are not permitted. We may prohibit you from changing the Life Insurance Benefit Option if the change would (i) cause the face amount of the policy to be less than $100,000, (ii) cause the policy to fail to qualify as life insurance under Section 7702 of the IRC, or (iii) cause the policy’s face amount to exceed our retention limits. In addition, no option changes will be permitted on or after the policy anniversary on which the younger insured is, or would have been, age 100.

DISTRIBUTION AND COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS

NYLIFE Distributors LLC (NYLIFE Distributors), the underwriter and distributor of the policies, is registered with the SEC and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA) as a broker-dealer. The firm is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of New York Life, and an affiliate of NYLIAC. Its principal business address is 169 Lackawanna Avenue, Parsippany, New Jersey 07054.

The policies were sold by registered representatives of NYLIFE Securities LLC (“NYLIFE Securities”), a broker-dealer that is an affiliate of NYLIFE Distributors, and by registered representatives of unaffiliated broker-dealers. Your registered representative is also a licensed insurance agent with New York Life. He or she may be qualified to offer other forms of life insurance, annuities, and other investment products. In certain circumstances, NYLIFE Securities registered representatives can sell both products manufactured and issued by New York Life or its affiliates and products provided by other companies.

The selling broker-dealer, and in turn your registered representative, will receive compensation for selling you this policy or any other investment product. Compensation may consist of commissions, asset-based compensation, allowances for expenses, and other compensation programs. The amount of compensation received by your registered representative will vary depending on the policy that he or she sells, on sales production goals, and on the specific payment arrangements of the relevant broker-dealer. Differing compensation arrangements have the potential to influence the recommendation made by your registered representative or broker-dealer.

The maximum commissions payable to a broker-dealer in the first 30 policy years are equivalent to the present value of an annual commission rate for 30 years of 6.1% per year. (This figure is a percentage of planned annual premiums of $15,000 and assumes a discount rate of 6%. Additional assumptions for the SVUL product are Male Issue Age 55, issued preferred, and Female Issue Age 50, issued preferred, with an initial face amount of $1,000,000.) Broker-dealers receive commission not to exceed 50% of premiums paid up to the Target Premium in Policy Year 1, 8% for Policy Year 2, 6.25% for Policy Years 3 and 4, 6.5% for Policy Years 5 and 6, 5.5% for Policy Year 7, 5.0% for Policy Years 8-10, and 3.5% for Policy Years 11-15, plus 3.0% of premiums paid in excess of such amount in Policy Years 1-15.

The “Target Premium” is used in the calculation of the maximum commission payable and is based on the age(s) of the insured(s) at the inception of the policy, gender, and the face amount of the policy. Broker-dealers may also receive an allowance for expenses that ranges generally from 0% to 41% of first year premiums.

The total commissions paid during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 were $401,868, $511,119 and $1,470,703, respectively. NYLIFE Distributors did not retain any of these commissions.

New York Life also has other compensation programs where registered representatives, managers, and employees involved in the sales process receive additional compensation related to the sale of products manufactured and issued by New York Life or its affiliates. NYLIFE Securities registered representatives who are members of the General Office management team receive compensation based on a number of sales-related incentive programs designed to compensate for education, supervision, training, and recruiting of agents.

Unaffiliated broker-dealers may receive sales support for products manufactured and issued by New York Life or its affiliates from Brokerage General Agents (“BGAs”) who are not employed by New York Life. BGAs receive commissions on the policies based on a percentage of the commissions the registered representative receives and an allowance for expenses based on first year premiums paid.

NYLIFE Securities registered representatives can qualify to attend New York Life-sponsored educational, training, and development conferences based on the sales they make of life insurance, annuities, and investment products during a particular twelve-month period. In addition, qualification for recognition programs sponsored by New York Life depends on the sale of products manufactured and issued by New York Life or its affiliates.

NYLIAC has discontinued sales of these policies. Premium payments on existing policies, however, are accepted on a continuous basis.

 

16


UNDERWRITING A POLICY

The underwriting of a policy determines: (1) whether the policy application will be approved or disapproved; and (2) into what premium class the insured should be placed. Risk factors that are considered for these determinations include: (a) the insured’s age; (b) the insured’s health history; (c) whether the insured smokes or not; and (d) the amount of insurance coverage requested on the policy application. As risk factors are added (i.e., higher age, smoker, poor health history, higher insurance coverage) the amount of the premium required for an approved policy will increase.

In the case where a policy’s face amount of coverage is increased, premiums and Cash Values are allocated among the original and the incremental contracts based upon their relative Surrender Charges. For monthly deductions, Cash Values are allocated based on the earliest layer(s) of coverage first.

 

17


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT CHARGES

The following example reflects how charges can impact a policy.

This example assumes a male issue age 55 and female issue age 50, both preferred, a Target Premium of $12,662, a face amount of $1,000,000, and life insurance benefit option 1. This example assumes you pay an annual planned premium of $15,000 at the beginning of the Policy Year and that you do not make any unplanned premium payments. It assumes current charges and a 6% hypothetical gross annual investment return, which results in a 5.14% net annual investment return. It also assumes the policy is in its first Policy Year. There is no guarantee that the current charges illustrated below will not increase.

You choose the amount of premium you intend to pay and the frequency that you intend to make these payments. We call this your planned premium. Any additional premium payments you make are called unplanned premiums

We allocate your net premium to the Investment Divisions and/or the Fixed Account based on your instructions.

Cash Value may be used to determine the amount of your Life Insurance Benefit as well as the Net Cash Value and Cash Surrender Value of your policy.

We may assess a surrender charge when you make a partial withdrawal or full surrender in the first fifteen Policy Years, or within fifteen years after you increase the face amount.

The amount of loans, withdrawals and surrenders you can make is based on your policy’s Cash Surrender Value. Your policy will terminate if your Net Cash Value is insufficient to pay your policy’s monthly charges.

 

 

(1) For details about how we calculate the sales expense charge for your policy, you should refer to DEDUCTIONS AND CHARGES—Deductions from Premiums—Sales Expense Charge.
(2) We currently deduct a monthly contract charge of $60 per month from a policy in its first Policy Year. For a policy in a later Policy Year, we currently expect to deduct a monthly contract charge of $10 per month.
(3) This example assumes you have not chosen any riders.
(4) If you surrender your policy in the first Policy Year, we will include an additional contract charge in the surrender charge we deduct from your policy. For details, please refer to DEDUCTIONS AND CHARGES—Surrender Charges—Charges in Policy Years 1-15.

 

18


The following is additional information about specific charges that can be associated with your policy.

Deductions from Premiums

 

   

Sales expense charge

We deduct a sales expense charge from each premium you pay to partially cover our expenses of selling the policy to you. The amount of the sales expense charge in a Policy Year is not necessarily related to our actual expenses for that particular year. To the extent that sales expenses are not covered by the sales expense charge and the surrender charge, they will be recovered from the NYLIAC surplus, including any amounts derived from the Mortality and Expense Risk charge, the charge for cost of insurance protection, or the Separate Account administrative charge. The sales expense charge we deduct is a percentage of the premium you pay. This percentage varies depending on whether the total premium you have paid in any given Policy Year is above or below the Surrender Charge Premium for your policy.

 

   

Target premium

When your policy is issued, we determine the initial Target Premium for your policy. Your Target Premium is based on the specific age, gender, and underwriting classes of both insureds and the base policy amount. We use the Target Premium for the purpose of calculating the sales expense charge and the surrender charge. An increase in your Target Premium generally will increase these charges. You can find your initial Target Premium on the Policy Data Page. If you increase the face amount of your base policy, we will increase your Target Premium to reflect the amount of increase and the insured’s attained age on the most recent policy anniversary. If you decrease the face amount of your base policy, we will correspondingly decrease your Target Premium, starting with the portion of your Target Premium attributable to the most recent increase.

 

   

State premium tax charge

Some jurisdictions impose a tax on the premiums insurance companies receive from their policyowners currently ranging from 0.0% to 3.5% of premium payments. We deduct a charge of 2% of all premiums we receive to cover these state premium taxes. This charge may not reflect the actual premium tax charged in your state. We may increase the amount we deduct as a state premium tax charge to reflect changes in the law. Our right to increase this charge is limited in some jurisdictions by law.

 

   

Federal tax charge

NYLIAC’s Federal tax obligations will increase based upon premiums associated with Non-Qualified Policies. For Non-Qualified Policies, we deduct 1.25% of each premium payment you make to cover the Federal tax that results. We do not deduct this charge from Qualified Policies. We may increase the amount we deduct as a federal tax charge to reflect changes in the law.

 

   

Other tax charges

Other than the Federal tax charge (discussed above), no other charge is currently made on the Separate Account for our Federal income taxes that may be attributable to the Separate Account. In the future, we may impose a charge for our Federal income taxes that are attributable to the Separate Account. In addition, depending on the method of calculating interest on amounts allocated to the Fixed Account and the DCA Plus Account, we may impose a charge for the policy’s share of NYLIAC’s Federal income taxes attributable to the Fixed Account and the DCA Plus Account.

Under current laws, we may incur state or local taxes other than premium taxes (including income, franchise and capital taxes) in several states. At present, these taxes are not significant. If there is a material change in applicable state or local tax laws, we reserve the right to charge the Separate Account for the portion of such taxes, if any, attributable to the Separate Account or the policies.

TRANSACTION CHARGES

 

   

Surrender Charge

 

19


CHARGES IN POLICY YEARS 1-15

During the first fifteen Policy Years, we will deduct a surrender charge from the Cash Value of your policy if you:

 

   

surrender your policy; or

 

   

decrease the face amount of your policy (including a decrease in the face amount that results from changing the Life Insurance Benefit Option or from a partial withdrawal).

This surrender charge is in addition to the sales expense charge. The surrender charge we will deduct if you surrender your entire policy (assuming you have not made any changes to your policy) is equal to the percentage shown in the table below (based on the age of the younger Insured at the time the policy (or any face amount increase) is issued and the duration of that coverage from issue) multiplied by 20% of your Target Premium for the year in which you surrender your policy. See DEDUCTIONS FROM PREMIUMS—Sales Expense Charge—Target Premium for an explanation of Target Premium. The surrender charge we will deduct if you decrease your policy’s face amount is described below.

 

Younger Insured < Issue Age 85

Duration of Coverage

   Percentage Applied
1-6    100%
7    90%
8    80%
9    70%
10    60%
11    50%
12    40%
13    30%
14    20%
15    10%
16+    0%

Younger Insured > Issue Age 85

Duration of Coverage

   Percentage Applied
1-4    100%
5    80%
6    60%
7    40%
8    20%
9+    0%
 

 

Example: Assume that a policy (a) has not had an increase in face amount, (b) has a Target Premium of $12,662, (c) is issued when the younger insured is under age 85 and (d) is surrendered in the third year after issue. The surrender charge for the policy would be $2,532.40 (i.e., (20% of $12,662) multiplied by 100%).

ADDITIONAL CHARGE ON A SURRENDER/REINSTATEMENT IN THE FIRST POLICY YEAR

If you surrender your policy during the first Policy Year, we will deduct an additional contract charge when you surrender your policy. This charge will also apply if the policy lapses during the first Policy Year and is reinstated subsequently. This additional charge equals the difference between a and b multiplied by c [i.e., (a – b) × c], where:

a = the monthly contract charge for the first Policy Year;

b = the monthly contract charge for subsequent Policy Years; and

c = the number of Monthly Deduction Days between the day you surrender your policy (or the date your policy lapsed) and the first anniversary of your Policy Date (or the date of reinstatement).

SURRENDER CHARGES AFTER FACE AMOUNT INCREASES

If you increase your policy’s face amount (other than an increase that results from a change in your Life Insurance Benefit Option), we will apply a new surrender charge schedule to the amount of the increase in the face amount. This schedule will start on the day we process your request. The original surrender charge schedule will continue to apply to the original face amount of your policy.

If you have made multiple increases to the face amount of your policy, and later decide to decrease the face amount of your policy or surrender it, we will calculate the surrender charge in the following order:

 

20


1) based on the surrender charge associated with the last increase in face amount;

2) based on each prior increase, in the reverse order in which the increases occurred; and

3) based on the initial face amount.

SURRENDER CHARGES ON FACE AMOUNT DECREASES

If you decrease the face amount of your policy, we will deduct a surrender charge, if applicable. This charge will equal the difference between the surrender charge that we would have charged if you had surrendered your entire policy before the decrease and the surrender charge that we would charge if you surrendered your entire policy after the decrease.

 

EXAMPLE:  

Face Amount prior to Decrease:

     $500,000   

Amount of Decrease:

     $100,000   

Face Amount after Decrease:

     $400,000   

Surrender Charge on Face Amount prior
to Decrease ($500,000)

     $ 1,280   

Less Surrender Charge on Face Amount
after Decrease ($400,000)

     $ 1,030   

Surrender Charge Deducted

     $ 250   

We will not impose a surrender charge on a decrease or termination of any rider.

EXCEPTIONS TO SURRENDER CHARGE

We will not deduct a surrender charge if:

 

   

we cancel the policy;

 

   

we pay proceeds upon the death of the last surviving insured;

 

   

we pay a required IRS minimum distribution; or

 

   

you exercise the Policy Split Option.

DEDUCTIONS FROM CASH VALUE

Each month, we will deduct a monthly contract charge, a cost of insurance charge, and a rider charge for the cost of any additional riders from your policy’s Cash Value. For Series 2, we will also deduct a Mortality and Expense Risk charge and a Separate Account administrative charge. During the first three Policy Years, we will also deduct a charge per $1,000 of the current face amount of your policy, not including riders (for Series 2) or a charge per $1,000 of the initial face amount of your policy, not including riders (for Series 1). If you have elected the Expense Allocation feature, the policy charges will be deducted according to those instructions.

We will deduct these charges on the Monthly Deduction Day. The first Monthly Deduction Day will be the monthly anniversary of your Policy Date on or following the date we receive the initial premium payment. If the Policy Date is prior to the Issue Date, the deductions made on the first Monthly Deduction Day will cover the period from the Policy Date until the first Monthly Deduction Day.

Monthly Contract Charge

On each Monthly Deduction Day, we will deduct a monthly contract charge to cover our costs for providing certain administrative services, including premium collection, record-keeping, processing claims, and communicating with policyowners.

 

21


Currently, we deduct a monthly contract charge of $60 per month from policies in their first Policy Year and we expect to deduct $10 per month from policies in the second and subsequent years. While we can change the monthly contract charge at any time, we guarantee that we will never charge you more than $62 per month for the monthly contract charge during the first Policy Year and $12 per month thereafter.

Charge for Cost of Insurance Protection

On each Monthly Deduction Day, we will deduct a charge for cost of insurance protection from the Cash Value of your policy. This charge covers the cost of providing Life Insurance Benefits to you. The cost of insurance charge is calculated by adding any applicable flat extra charge which might apply to certain insureds (based on our underwriting) to the monthly cost of insurance rate which applies to the insureds at that time and multiplying the result by the Net Amount at Risk on the Monthly Deduction Day. The Net Amount at Risk is based on the difference between the current Life Insurance Benefit of your policy divided by 1.00327 and the policy’s Cash Value. Your cost of insurance charge may vary from month to month depending upon changes in the Net Amount at Risk, as well as the cost of insurance rate. We expect to profit from this charge. Profits derived from this charge can be used for any corporate purpose. We calculate the cost of insurance separately for the initial face amount and for any increase in face amount. A different rate class (and therefore cost of insurance rate) may apply to the increase, based on the insureds’ ages and circumstances at the time of the increase.

We base the monthly cost of insurance rate we apply to your policy on our current monthly cost of insurance rates. We may change these rates from time to time, based on changes in future expectations of such factors as mortality, investment income, expenses, and persistency. However, the current rates will never be more than the guaranteed maximum rates shown of the Policy Data Page. We base the guaranteed rates on the 1980 Commissioner’s Standard Ordinary Mortality Tables appropriate to each Insured’s underwriting class if the insureds are a standard underwriting class. We base the current monthly cost of insurance rates on such factors as the genders, underwriting classes, and issue age of both insureds and the Policy Year.

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge (Series 2 only)

We assume a mortality risk that the group of lives we have insured under our policies will not live as long as we expected. In addition, we assume an expense risk that the cost of issuing and administering the policies we have sold will be greater than we estimated. On each Monthly Deduction Day, we will deduct a Mortality and Expense Risk charge from the Separate Account Value to cover our Mortality and Expense Risk. We may use any profit derived from this charge for any corporate purpose, including any distribution expenses not covered by the sales expense charge.

 

   

Current—We currently deduct a monthly Mortality and Expense Risk charge that is equal to an annual rate of 0.60%, or $6 per $1,000, of the Separate Account Value.

 

   

Guaranteed Maximum—We guarantee that the Mortality and Expense Risk charge will never exceed an annual rate of 0.90%, or $9 per $1,000, of the Separate Account Value.

Administrative Charge (Series 2 only)

We deduct an administrative charge each month equal to a percentage of the amount of the Separate Account Value as of each Monthly Deduction Day. This percentage will never exceed, on an annual basis, 0.10%, or $1 per $1000, of the Separate Account Value.

Charge Per $1,000 of the Current Face Amount (Series 2 only)

Charge Per $1,000 of the Initial Face Amount (Series 1 only)

On each Monthly Deduction Day, during the first three Policy Years, we will deduct $0.04 per $1,000 of your policy’s current face amount (for Series 2) or initial face amount (for Series 1), not including riders. This charge will always be at least $10 per month and will never be more than $100 per month. This charge will not be deducted in Policy Year 4 and beyond.

 

22


Rider Charges

Each month, we deduct any applicable charges for any optional riders you have chosen.

Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Rider Charge: We will charge you an amount equal to $0.01 per $1,000 multiplied by the sum of your policy’s face amount and the face or benefit amount of any riders. In addition to that charge, a premium commitment is required to maintain this benefit; that premium amount is shown on the Policy’s Data Page.

First-to-Die Monthly Deduction Waiver Rider Charge: We will deduct a charge based on the present value of the future charges that we estimate may be waived under this rider and the cost of insurance rate for this rider.

Level First-to-Die Term Rider Charge: We will deduct a charge equal to the face amount of this rider multiplied by the cost of insurance rate for this rider.

Life Extension Benefit Rider Charge (Series 2 only): We will deduct a charge on each Monthly Deduction Day beginning on the policy anniversary when the younger Insured is, or would have been age 90 and ending when the younger Insured is, or would have been, age 100. This charge will vary by sex, age, and underwriting class of each of the insureds.

Living Benefits Rider Charge: We do not deduct a charge for this rider until it is exercised. This rider is only available after the death of the first Insured.

Expense Allocation

With the Expense Allocation feature, you choose how to allocate policy expenses. These include monthly cost of insurance, monthly cost of any riders on the policy, the monthly contract charge, the Separate Account Administrative Charge (Series 2 only), and a Mortality and Expense Risk Charge (Series 2 only) and the charge per $1,000 of your policy’s current face amount (for Series 1) and initial face amount (for Series 2) not including riders. You can instruct us at the time of the application and any time thereafter, to have expenses deducted from the Mainstay VP Cash Management Investment Division, the unloaned portion of the Fixed Account, or a combination of both.

If the values in the MainStay VP Cash Management Investment Division and/or the unloaned portion of the Fixed Account are insufficient to pay these charges, we will deduct as much of the charges as possible. The remainder of the charges will be deducted proportionately from each of the Investment Divisions. If you do not instruct us as to how you would like the expenses allocated, these charges will be deducted proportionately from each of the Investment Divisions, including any unloaned portion of the Fixed Account.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT CHARGES

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge (Series 1 only)

We assume a mortality risk that the group of lives we have insured under our policies will not live as long as we expected. In addition, we assume an expense risk that the cost of issuing and administering the policies we have sold will be greater than we estimated. We deduct on a daily basis a Mortality and Expense Risk charge from each Investment Division to cover our Mortality and Expense Risk. We may use any profit derived from this charge for any corporate purpose, including any distribution expenses not covered by the sales expense charge.

 

   

Current—We currently deduct a daily Mortality and Expense Risk charge that is equal to an annual rate of 0.60%, or $6 per $1,000, of the average daily net asset value of each Investment Division.

 

   

Guaranteed Maximum—We guarantee that the Mortality and Expense Risk charge will never exceed an annual rate of 0.90%, or $9 per $1,000, of the average daily net asset value of each Investment Division.

 

23


Administrative Charge (Series 1 only)

We deduct on a daily basis an administrative charge from each Investment Division to cover the cost of providing administrative policy services. We deduct a daily administrative charge that is equal to an annual rate of 0.10% of the average daily net asset value of the Separate Account to cover these costs. This charge is designed not to produce a profit. We guarantee this charge will not increase.

Charges for Federal income Taxes

We do not currently deduct a charge for federal income taxes from the Investment Divisions, although we may do so in the future to reflect possible changes in the law.

Fund Charges

Each Investment Division of the Separate Account purchases shares of the corresponding Portfolio at the net asset value. The net asset value reflects the investment advisory fees and other expenses that are deducted from the assets of the Portfolio by that Fund. The advisory fees and other expenses are not fixed or specified under the terms of the policy and may vary from year to year. These fees and expenses are described in the Funds’ prospectuses.

LOANS

You can borrow up to 90% of the Cash Surrender Value of your policy. Assuming that you have not reached this maximum, you may obtain additional loans during the life of your policy.

Currently, the effective annual loan interest rate is 6%. If the interest is not paid, it is withdrawn on a pro rata basis across all Investment Divisions.

SURRENDER OF YOUR POLICY

Cash Surrender Value and Net Cash Value are significant for 2 reasons:

 

   

Loans and Partial Surrenders: You can take loans and partial surrenders from your policy based on the amount of the policy’s Cash Surrender Value.

 

   

Keeping Your Policy in Effect: Your policy may lapse without value if the Net Cash Value is insufficient to pay the monthly policy charges. Therefore, while premium payments are flexible, you may need to make additional premium payments so that the Net Cash Value of your policy is sufficient to pay the charges needed to keep your policy in effect.

N

YLIAC Variable Universal Life Separate Account (“VUL Separate Account-I”) was established on June 4, 1993 under Delaware law by New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation (“NYLIAC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of New York Life Insurance Company. VUL Separate Account-I funds Group 1 policies (Variable Universal Life (“VUL”) and Survivorship Variable Universal Life (“SVUL”)—Series 1), Group 2 policies (Variable Universal Life 2000 (“VUL 2000”)—Series 1 and Single Premium Variable Universal Life (“SPVUL”)—Series 1), Group 3 policies (Pinnacle Variable Universal Life (“Pinnacle VUL”) and Pinnacle Survivorship Variable Universal Life (“Pinnacle SVUL”)), Group 4 policies (Variable Universal Life 2000 (“VUL 2000”)—Series 2, Single Premium Variable Universal Life (“SPVUL”)—Series 2 and 3, Legacy Creator Single Premium Variable Universal Life (Legacy Creator SPVUL), Survivorship Variable Universal Life (“SVUL”)—Series 2, Variable Universal Life Provider (“VUL Provider”), Variable Universal Life Accumulator (“VUL Accumulator”), Survivorship Variable Universal Life Accumulator (“SVUL Accumulator”)) and Group 5 policy (Lifetime Wealth Variable Universal Life (LWVUL)). Sales of VUL were discontinued on September 28, 1999, or the date VUL 2000 was approved in a jurisdiction that had not approved new products by September 28, 1999. Sales of VUL Provider, VUL 2000 and SVUL were discontinued on May 23, 2008, or the date New York Life Variable Universal Life Accumulator (VUL Accumulator) and New York Life Survivorship Variable Universal Life Accumulator (SVUL Accumulator) were approved in a jurisdiction that had not approved the new products by May 23, 2008. Sales of Pinnacle SVUL and Pinnacle VUL were discontinued on May 23, 2008 in all jurisdictions. Sales of SPVUL AD103 were discontinued on January 1, 2009 in all jurisdictions.

All of these policies are designed for individuals who seek lifetime insurance protection and flexibility with respect to premium payments and death benefits. In addition, SVUL Series 1 and 2, Pinnacle SVUL and SVUL Accumulator policies provide life insurance protection on two insureds with proceeds payable upon the death of the last surviving insured. These policies are distributed by NYLIFE Distributors LLC and sold by registered representatives of NYLIFE Securities, LLC Inc. and by registered representatives of broker-dealers who have entered into dealer agreements with NYLIFE Distributors LLC. NYLIFE Securities LLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of NYLIFE LLC and NYLIFE Distributors LLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of New York Life Investment Management Holdings LLC (“NYLIM Holdings”). NYLIFE LLC and NYLIM Holdings are both wholly-owned subsidiaries of New York Life Insurance Company. VUL Separate Account-I is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a unit investment trust.

NYLIAC’s Fixed Account, DCA Plus Account, DCA Extra Account and the Enhanced DCA Fixed Account may be charged with liabilities arising out of other business NYLIAC may conduct.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

NOTE 1—Organization and Accounting Policies (Continued):

 

 

Account. VUL 2000, VUL Provider, SVUL, VUL Accumulator and SVUL Accumulator policies issued on and after February 11, 2005 can have premium payments made in the first 12 policy months allocated to a DCA Plus Account. Legacy Creator SPVUL Policies issued on or after May 15th, 2009, can have the initial premium payment allocated to the 6 months DCA Extra Account. Lifetime Wealth VUL policies issued on or after February 14, 2011, can have premium payments made in the first 12 policy months allocated to a DCA Plus Account.

In addition, for all SVUL, VUL 2000, SPVUL, Legacy Creator SPVUL, Lifetime Wealth VUL, VUL Provider, VUL Accumulator, SVUL Accumulator, Pinnacle VUL, Pinnacle SVUL and VUL policies, the Policyowner has the option, within limits, to transfer amounts between the Investment Divisions of VUL Separate Account-I and the Fixed Account of NYLIAC.

No Federal income tax is payable on investment income or capital gains of VUL Separate Account-I under current Federal income tax law.

Security Valuation—The investments are valued at the net asset value of shares of the respective Fund portfolios.

Security Transactions—Realized gains and losses from security transactions are reported on the identified cost basis. Security transactions are accounted for as of the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date).

Distributions Received—Dividend income and capital gain distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date and reinvested in the corresponding portfolio.

The authoritative guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The authoritative guidance also establishes a framework for measuring fair value that includes a hierarchy used to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The levels of the fair value hierarchy are based on the inputs to the valuation as follows:

Level 1—Fair Value is based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market. Active markets are defined as a market in which many transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2—Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar instruments, quoted prices in markets that are not active, and inputs to model-derived valuations that are directly observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity and often requiring significant management judgment or estimation, such as an entity’s own assumptions about the cash flows or other significant components of value that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The investment in the Fund Portfolios listed above are at net asset values (“NAV’s”), which is considered fair value per authoritative GAAP guidance on fair value measurements. The NAV’s are calculated daily without restrictions using quoted market prices of the underlying investments and are considered actively traded within Level 1.

The amounts shown as net receivable from (payable to) NYLIAC on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflect transactions that occurred on the last business day of the reporting period. These amounts will be deposited to or withdrawn from the separate account in accordance with the policyowners’ instructions on the first business day subsequent to the close of the period presented.

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

NYLIAC VUL Separate Account-I

 

 

 

On February 17, 2012, as a result of a restructuring of our investment divisions, some funds that were previously offered are no longer available as investment options to our policyholders and those funds are now closed to our policyholders (“Closed Funds”). The assets in those funds were transferred into new MainStay VP Portfolios (“Replacement Funds”). New York Life Investment Management is the Manager of the Replacement Funds. For most of the portfolios, the advisor of the Closed Fund is the sub-advisor of the corresponding Replacement Fund and will continue to provide day-to-day portfolio management services for our policyholders. The following is a listing of the Closed Funds (Column A) and the Replacement Funds (Column B).

Not all of the Closed Funds were offered in each policy impacted by the restructure. If the Closed Fund was not offered, then the corresponding Replacement Fund was not offered. In January, policyholders were sent letters along with supplements to their product prospectuses and fund prospectuses which describe the restructuring options available under their specific policies and detailed information regarding the Replacement Funds.

On February 17, 2012, any policyholder allocations that remained in the Closed Funds were redeemed. Those redemptions were used to purchase Accumulation Units in the corresponding Replacement Funds. After February 17, 2012, the Closed Funds are no longer available as investment options under the policies. For the 30 days following February 17th, policyholders may transfer all or a portion of their account value out of the Replacement Fund to another fund available through their policy without any charge or limitation.

NOTE 3—Expenses and Related Party Transactions:

 

 

Deductions from Premiums:

N

YLIAC deducts premium expense charges from all premiums received for certain VUL Separate Account-I policies. Premium expense charges are expressed as a percentage of the payment received.

 

   

State and Federal Tax Charge: NYLIAC deducts 2% from all premium payments for VUL, SVUL, VUL 2000, SPVUL Series 3, VUL Provider, Lifetime Wealth VUL, VUL Accumulator, SVUL Accumulator, Pinnacle VUL, and Pinnacle SVUL policies to pay state premium taxes. NYLIAC deducts 1.25% from all premium payments for non-qualified VUL, SVUL, VUL 2000, SPVUL Series 3, VUL Provider, Lifetime Wealth VUL, VUL Accumulator, SVUL Accumulator, Pinnacle VUL, and Pinnacle SVUL policies to cover federal taxes.

 

   

Sales Expense Charge: NYLIAC deducts a sales expense charge from all premium payments for VUL, SVUL, VUL 2000, VUL Provider, Lifetime Wealth VUL, VUL Accumulator, SVUL Accumulator, Legacy Creator SPVUL, Pinnacle VUL, and Pinnacle SVUL policies to partially cover the expenses associated with selling the policies.

For VUL policies, currently 5% of any premium payment for the first 10 policy years is deducted; NYLIAC reserves the right to impose this charge after the 10th policy year.

For SVUL policies, currently 8% of any premium payments in policy years 1-10, up to the target premium, is deducted. Once the target premium is reached NYLIAC expects to deduct 4% from any premium payments in any given policy year. Beginning with the 11th policy year, NYLIAC expects to deduct 4% of any premium payments up to the target premium, and no charge for premium payments in excess of the target premium in that year. The initial target premium is determined at the time the policy is issued, and it is indicated on the policy data page.

For VUL 2000 policies, currently 2.75% of any premium payments in a policy year, up to the surrender charge premium, is deducted. Once the premium payments equal the surrender charge premium for a policy year, NYLIAC deducts a sales expense charge of 1.25% from any additional premium payments in that policy year. The initial surrender charge premium is determined at the time the policy is issued and can be found on the policy data page.

For VUL Provider policies, currently 6.75% of any premium payment up to the target premium is deducted in policy years 1-5. Once the target premium is reached, 4.25% of any premium payment is deducted. Beginning with the 6th policy year, NYLIAC expects to deduct 2.75% of any premium payments up to the target premium; once the target premium is reached, 0.75% of any premium payment is deducted. The initial target premium is determined at the time the policy is issued, and is indicated on the policy data page.

For Lifetime Wealth VUL policies, in all policy years, we currently do not deduct a sales expense charge on any premium payment up to Target Premium 1. In each of policy years 1-7, we currently deduct 8.75% of any premium payment over Target Premium 1 and up to Target Premium 2; we also deduct 8.75% of all premiums paid over Target Premium 2. In each of policy years 8 and subsequent, we currently do not deduct a sales expense charge on any premium payment over Target Premium 1. Target Premium 1 and Target Premium 2 are determined at the time the policy is issued, and is indicated on the policy data page.

For VUL Accumulator and SVUL Accumulator policies, currently 4.75% of any premium payment up to the target premium is deducted in policy years 1-10. Once the target premium is reached, 1.75% of any premium payment is deducted. Beginning with the 11th policy year, NYLIAC expects to deduct 4.25% of any premium payments up to the target premium; once the target is reached, 0.75% of any premium payment is deducted in policy years 6-10 and 0.25% of any premium payment is deducted in policy years 11 and beyond. The initial target premium is determined at the time the policy is issued, and is indicated on the policy data page.

For Pinnacle VUL and Pinnacle SVUL policies, the percentage of premiums deducted varies depending on the age of the policy and whether the total premium payment in a given policy year is above or below the target premium. For premium payments up to the target premium, the sales expense charge in the first policy year is currently 56.75%, in policy years 2-5 the charge is 26.75%, for policy year 6 the charge is 1.75%, and for policy years 7 and beyond the charge is 0.75%. For premium payments in excess of the target premium the charge is currently 2.75% for policy years 1-5, 1.75% for policy year 6 and 0.75% for policy years 7 and beyond. The initial target premium is determined at the time the policy is issued, and it is indicated on the policy data page.

For Legacy Creator SPVUL policies, the current monthly premium expense charge is deducted at an annualized rate of 2.0% of the adjusted total premium for policy years 11 and beyond. The monthly premium expense charge is guaranteed not to exceed the annual rate of 2.25% of the adjusted total premium. This charge also covers state premium tax and federal tax expenses.

Administrative Charge: An administrative charge is assessed on VUL 2000, SPVUL, Legacy Creator SPVUL and SVUL (Series 2)** policies monthly. This charge compensates NYLIAC for providing administrative policy services.

For VUL 2000 policies, the administrative charge is expressed as a percentage of the amount of cash value in the Separate Account and varies based on the amount of cash value in the Separate Account. The Separate Account administrative charge percentage currently ranges from 0% to .20%.

For SPVUL policies, the current administrative charge is made monthly at an annualized rate of .60% of the policy’s cash value for the first three policy years. This charge is waived in the fourth and subsequent policy years if the cash value of the policy exceeds $200,000. If the cash value of the policy does not exceed $200,000, this charge will range from .10% to .60% depending on the cash value of the policy.

For SVUL (Series 2)**( the administrative charge is .10%, based on the amount of cash value in the Separate Account.

For Legacy Creator SPVUL policies, the current asset based administrative charge is deducted monthly at an annualized rate of 2.25% of the policy’s cash value for policy years 1 through 10. The monthly asset based administrative charge is guaranteed not to exceed the annual rate of 2.25% of the cash value of the policy. This charge also covers state premium tax and federal tax expenses.

 

   

Cost of Insurance Charge: A charge to cover the cost of providing life insurance benefits is assessed monthly on all VUL Separate Account-I policies. This charge is based on such factors as issue age of the insured(s), duration, gender, underwriting class, face amount, any riders included and the cash value of the policy.

 

   

Per Thousand Face Amount Charge: NYLIAC assesses a monthly per thousand face amount charge on SVUL, VUL Accumulator, SVUL Accumulator, Lifetime Wealth VUL, Pinnacle VUL, Pinnacle SVUL, and VUL Provider policies.

The deferred sales expense charge is expressed as a percentage of the policy’s cash value for Series 1 and 2. The current .90% deferred sales expense is comprised of .40% for sales expenses, .30% for state taxes and .20% for federal taxes. For SPVUL Series 3***( currently the deferred sales expense charge is equal to 0.40%.

 

   

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge: NYLIAC deducts a mortality and expense risk charge as follows:

For VUL Accumulator and SVUL Accumulator policies, the mortality and expense risk charge currently ranges from 0.55% to 0.15% (it declines based on the cash value in the Separate Account and duration). NYLIAC guarantees that the mortality and expense risk charge on VUL Accumulator and SVUL Accumulator policies will never exceed an annual rate of 0.75%.

For VUL Provider policies, the mortality and expense risk charge currently ranges from .70% to .05% (it declines based on the cash value in the Separate Account and duration). If the VUL Provider policy has the Alternative Cash Surrender Value (ACSV) the mortality and expense risk charge currently ranges from 1.0% to .05%.

NYLIAC VUL Separate Account-I

 

 

  

 

 

Surrender Charges:

Surrender charges are assessed by NYLIAC for VUL, SVUL, VUL 2000, VUL Provider, VUL Accumulator, SVUL Accumulator, SPVUL and Legacy Creator SPVUL policies on complete surrenders, decreases in face amount including decreases caused by a change in life insurance benefit option and some partial withdrawals. Surrender charges are paid to NYLIAC. The amount of this charge is included in surrenders in the accompanying statement of changes in net assets. In addition, a new surrender charge period will apply to face increases.

For VUL and VUL 2000 policies, this charge is deducted during the first 15 policy years. For VUL Provider, VUL Accumulator and SVUL Accumulator this charge is deducted for the first 10 years. For VUL, the maximum surrender charge is shown on the policy’s data page. For VUL 2000, VUL Provider, VUL Accumulator and SVUL Accumulator the maximum surrender charge is the lesser of 50% of total premium payments or a percentage of the surrender charge premium. This percentage is based on the policy year in which the surrender or decrease in face amount takes place.

Initially for VUL 2000 (Series 2)**policies, the maximum surrender charge is the lesser of 50% of total premium paid less the monthly contract charge incurred during the first three policy years or 100% of the surrender charge premium. Beginning in year four, the maximum surrender charge is the lesser of 50% of total premium payments less the sum of all monthly contract charges incurred in the first three policy years (which will never exceed $636) or a specified percentage of the surrender charge premium, which declines each policy year from 93% in the fourth year to 0% in year sixteen and later.

For SVUL policies, the surrender charge is deducted during the first 15 policy years if the younger insured is less than age 85 at the time the policy was issued. If the younger insured is age 85 or older at the time of issue, the charge is deducted during the first 8 policy years. The maximum surrender charge on SVUL policies varies based on the policy’s target premium, age of the younger insured and year of surrender. The target premium is shown on the policy data page.

For SPVUL policies, the surrender charge is deducted during the first 9 policy years. This charge is equal to a percentage of the cash value of the policy minus any withdrawal taken using the surrender charge free window, or the initial single premium minus any partial withdrawals for which the surrender charge was assessed. The applicable surrender charge percentage is based on the amount of time elapsed from the date the initial single premium was accepted to the effective date of the surrender or partial withdrawal. For Series 1 and 2 the surrender charge percentage declines each policy year from 9% in the first year to 0% in year ten and later. For Series 3, the percentage declines each year from 7.5% in the first year to 0% in year 10 and after.

For Legacy Creator SPVUL, the surrender charge is deducted during the first 9 policy years. The surrender charge is assessed on the amount of the cash value withdrawn in any policy year that is in excess of the surrender charge free window. The surrender charge free window is the greater of 10% of the policy cash value (minus any partial withdrawals already taken in that year) or 100% of the policy gain. The surrender charge percentage declines each policy year from 7.50% in the first year to 0% in year 10 and later.

 

 

NOTE 4—Distribution of Net Income:

 

V

UL Separate Account-I does not expect to declare dividends to Policyowners from accumulated net investment income and realized gains. The income and gains are distributed to Policyowners as part of withdrawals of amounts (in the form of surrenders, death benefits or transfers) in excess of the net premium payments.

 

**   Series 2 VUL 2000, SPVUL, and SVUL designates policies issued on and after May 10, 2002 where approved.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors of New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation and the Variable Universal Life Separate Account-I Policyowners:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the investment divisions listed in Note 1 of the New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation Variable Universal Life Separate Account-I as of December 31, 2011, the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and the financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation management; 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 (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit 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 investments by correspondence with the custodian at December 31, 2011, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY CORPORATION

(a wholly owned subsidiary of New York Life Insurance Company)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(GAAP BASIS)

DECEMBER 31, 2011, 2010 AND 2009

NOTE 1 — NATURE OF OPERATIONS

New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation (the “Company”), domiciled in the State of Delaware, is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of New York Life Insurance Company (“New York Life”). The Company’s primary business operations are its Insurance and Investment Groups. The Company offers a wide variety of interest sensitive and variable life insurance and annuity products to a large cross section of the insurance market. The Company markets its products in all 50 of the United States, and the District of Columbia, primarily through New York Life’s agency force with certain products also marketed through independent brokers and brokerage general agents.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and reflect the consolidation with majority owned and controlled limited liability companies, as well as a variable interest entity in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions have been reconciled in consolidation.

Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or stockholder’s equity as previously reported.

The Delaware State Insurance Department (“the Department”) recognizes only statutory accounting practices for determining and reporting the financial condition and results of operations of an insurance company, and for determining its solvency under the Delaware State Insurance Law. Accounting practices used to prepare statutory financial statements for regulatory filings of life insurance companies differ in certain instances from GAAP (refer to Note 17 — Statutory Financial Information for further discussion).

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP 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.

The most significant estimates include those used in determining deferred policy acquisition costs (“DAC”) and related amortization; valuation of investments including derivatives and recognition of other-than-temporary impairments (“OTTI”); future policy benefits including guarantees; provision for income taxes and valuation of deferred tax assets; and reserves for contingent liabilities, including reserves for losses in connection with unresolved legal matters.

Investments

Fixed maturity investments classified as available-for-sale or trading are reported at fair value. For a discussion on valuation methods for fixed maturity securities reported at fair value, refer to Note 15 — Fair Value Measurements. The amortized cost of fixed maturity securities is adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discounts. Interest income, as well as the related amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is included in net investment income in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income.

NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY CORPORATION

(a wholly owned subsidiary of New York Life Insurance Company)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

 

Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are reported in net unrealized investment gains (losses) in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), net of deferred taxes and related adjustments, in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. Unrealized gains and losses from fixed maturity investments classified as trading are reflected in net investment gains (losses) in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income.

Included within fixed maturity investments are mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. Amortization of the premium or accretion of discount from the purchase of these securities considers the estimated timing and amount of cash flows of the underlying loans, including prepayment assumptions based on data obtained from external sources or internal estimates. For high credit quality mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities (those rated AA or above at date of acquisition), projected future cash flows are updated monthly, and the amortized cost and effective yield of the securities are adjusted as necessary to reflect historical prepayment experience and changes in estimated future prepayments. The adjustments to amortized cost are recorded as a charge or credit to net investment income in accordance with the retrospective method. For mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities that are not of high credit quality (those rated below AA at date of acquisition), certain floating rate securities and securities with the potential for a loss of a portion of the original investment due to contractual prepayments (i.e. interest only securities), the effective yield is adjusted prospectively for any changes in estimated cash flows.

The cost basis of fixed maturity securities are adjusted for impairments in value deemed to be other-than-temporary, and a realized loss is recognized in net investment gains (losses) in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income. The new cost basis is not adjusted for subsequent increases in estimated fair value. In periods subsequent to the recognition of an OTTI, impaired fixed maturity securities are accounted for as if purchased on the measurement date of the impairment. Accordingly, the discount (or reduced premium) based on the new cost basis may be accreted into net investment income in future periods based on prospective changes in cash flow estimates, to reflect adjustments to the effective yield.

Factors considered in evaluating whether a decline in value is other-than-temporary include: (i) whether the decline is substantial; (ii) the duration of time that the fair value has been less than cost; and (iii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities rated below AA at acquisition, when the fair value is below amortized cost and there are negative changes in estimated future cash flows are deemed other-than-temporary impaired securities.

With respect to fixed maturities in an unrealized loss position, an OTTI is recognized in earnings when it is anticipated that the amortized cost will not be recovered. The entire difference between the fixed maturity security’s cost and its fair value is recognized in earnings only when either the Company (i) has the intent to sell the fixed maturity security or (ii) more likely than not will be required to sell the fixed maturity security before its anticipated recovery. If this condition does not exist, an OTTI would be recognized in earnings (“credit loss”) for the difference between the amortized cost basis of the fixed maturity and the present value of projected future cash flows expected to be collected. The difference between the fair value and the present value of projected future cash flows expected to be collected represents the portion of OTTI related to other-than credit factors (“non-credit loss”) and is recognized in other comprehensive income or loss (“OCI”). The net present value is calculated by discounting the Company’s best estimate of projected future cash flows at the effective interest rate implicit in the fixed maturity prior to impairment.

The determination of cash flow estimates in the net present value is subjective and methodologies will vary, depending on the type of security. The Company considers all information relevant to the collectability of the security, including past events, current conditions and reasonably supportable assumptions and forecasts in developing the estimate of cash flows expected to be collected. This information generally includes, but may not be limited to, the remaining payment terms of the security, estimated prepayment speeds, defaults and recoveries upon liquidation of the underlying collateral securing the notes, the financial condition of the issuer(s), credit

enhancements and other third-party guarantees. In addition, other information, such as industry analyst reports and forecasts, sector credit ratings, the financial condition of the bond insurer for insured fixed income securities and other market data relevant to the collectability may also be considered, as well as the expected timing of the receipt of insured payments, if any. The estimated fair value of the collateral may be used to estimate recovery value if the Company determines that the security is dependent on the liquidation of the collateral for recovery.

For the non-agency residential mortgage-backed security (“RMBS”) portfolio, the Company updates cash flow projections quarterly. The projections are determined for each security based upon the evaluation of prepayment, delinquency and default rates for the pool of mortgages collateralizing each security, and the projected impact on the course of future prepayments, defaults and loss in the pool of mortgages, but do not include market prices. As a result, forecasts may change from period to period and additional impairments may be recognized over time as a result of deterioration in the fundamentals of a particular security or group of securities and/or a continuation of heightened mortgage defaults for a period longer than the assumptions used in the previous forecasts. Both qualitative and quantitative factors are used in creating the Company’s non-agency RMBS cash flow models. As such, any estimate of impairments is subject to the inherent limitation on the Company’s ability to predict the aggregate course of future events. It should, therefore, be expected that actual losses may vary from any estimate and the Company may recognize additional OTTI.

Equity securities are carried at fair value. For a discussion on valuation methods for equity securities refer to Note 15 — Fair Value Measurements. Unrealized gains and losses on equity securities classified as available-for-sale are reflected in net unrealized investment gains or losses in AOCI, net of deferred taxes and related adjustments, in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. Unrealized gains and losses from investments in equity securities classified as trading are reflected in net investment gains or losses in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income.

Factors considered in evaluating whether a decline in value of an available-for-sale equity security is other than temporary include: i) whether the decline is substantial; ii) the duration that the fair value has been less than cost; and iii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer. For equity securities, the Company also considers in its OTTI analysis its intent and ability to hold a particular equity security for a period of time sufficient to allow for the recovery of its value to an amount equal to or greater than cost. When it is determined that a decline in value is other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the equity security is reduced to its fair value, with the associated realized loss reported in net investment gains or losses in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income. The new cost basis is not adjusted for subsequent increases in estimated fair value.

Mortgage loans on real estate are carried at unpaid principal balances, net of discounts/premiums and valuation allowances, and are secured. Specific valuation allowances are established for the excess carrying value of the mortgage loan over the estimated fair value of the collateral, when it is probable that based on current information and events, the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Fair value of the collateral is updated triennially unless a more current appraisal is warranted. The Company also has a general valuation allowance for probable incurred but not specifically identified losses. The general valuation allowance is determined by applying a factor against the commercial and residential mortgage loan portfolios, excluding loans for which a specific allowance has already been recorded, to estimate potential losses in each portfolio. The general allowance factor for the commercial mortgage loan portfolio is based on the Company’s historical loss experience as well as industry data regarding commercial loan delinquency rates. The Company analyzes industry data regarding specific credit risk based on geographic locations and property types as well as probability of default, timing of default and loss severity for each loan in a given portfolio. The general allowance factor for the residential mortgage loan portfolio takes into account loan-to-value ratios (“LTV”) of the portfolio, as well as expected defaults and loss severity of loans deemed to be delinquent.

For commercial and residential mortgage loans, the Company accrues interest income on loans to the extent it is deemed collectible and the loan continues to perform under its original or restructured contractual terms. The Company places loans on non-accrual status and ceases to recognize interest income when management determines that collection of interest and repayment of principal is not probable. Any accrued, but uncollected, interest is reversed out of interest income once a loan is put on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on loans where interest payments have been deemed uncollectible are recognized on a cash basis and recorded as interest income.

Commercial mortgage and other loans are occasionally restructured in a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). The Company assesses loan modifications on a case-by-case basis to evaluate whether a TDR has occurred. A specific valuation allowance is established for mortgage loans restructured in a TDR for the excess carrying value of the mortgage loan over the estimated fair value of the collateral.

Policy loans are stated at the aggregate balance due. A valuation allowance is established for policy loan balances, including capitalized interest that exceeds the related policy’s cash surrender value.

Investment in Affiliates consists of the Company’s investment in the New York Life Short Term Fund (“STIF”) and The Madison Capital Funding LLC (“MCF”) Loan Agreement. For further discussion refer to Note 4 — Investments.

Other investments consist primarily of direct investments in limited partnerships and limited liability companies, derivatives (see discussion on Derivative Financial Instruments below), short-term investments, real estate and senior secured commercial loans. Investments in limited partnerships and limited liability companies are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Short-term investments include investments with remaining maturities of one year or less, but greater than three months, at the time of acquisition and are carried at fair value. Investments in real estate, which the Company has the intent to hold for the production of income, are carried at depreciated cost, net of write-downs for other-than-temporary declines in fair value. Properties held-for-sale are carried at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value, less estimated selling costs and are not further depreciated once classified as such.

In many cases, limited partnerships and limited liability companies that the Company invests in qualify as investment companies and apply specialized accounting practices, which result in unrealized gains and losses being recorded in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income. The Company retains this specialized accounting practice in consolidation. For consolidated limited partnerships, the underlying investments, which may consist of various classes of assets, are aggregated and stated at fair value in other investments in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. For limited partnerships accounted for under the equity method, the unrealized gains and losses from the underlying investments are reported in net investment income in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income.

Senior secured commercial loans that management has the intent and ability to hold until maturity or payoff are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances reduced by any charge-off or loss reserve and net of any deferred fees on originated loans, or unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans. The Company assesses its loans on a monthly basis for collectability in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay and prevailing economic conditions. Specific loans are considered for impairment when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status and the financial condition of the borrower. Impaired loan measurement may be based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s measurement effective interest rate, at the loan’s observable market

price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. A loss reserve is established for the calculated impairment. A general valuation allowance for probable incurred but not specifically identified losses is determined for the remainder of the portfolio. These loans are assigned internal risk ratings and the Company utilizes a specific reserve percentage for each category of risk rating. The loss reserve rate is multiplied by outstanding debt in each related risk category to determine the general reserve on these loans.

Net investment gains or losses on sales are generally computed using the specific identification method.

Cash equivalents include investments that have remaining maturities of three months or less at date of purchase and are carried at fair value.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative financial instruments are accounted for at fair value. The treatment of changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the characteristics of the transaction, including whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship. Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are carried at fair value with changes in value included in net investment gains (losses) in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income.

To qualify as a hedge, the hedge relationship is designated and formally documented at inception by detailing the particular risk management objective and strategy for the hedge. This includes the item and risk that is being hedged, the derivative that is being used, as well as how effectiveness is being assessed and measured. A derivative must be highly effective in accomplishing the objective of offsetting either changes in fair value, or cash flows, for the risk being hedged. The hedging relationship is considered highly effective if the changes in fair value or discounted cash flows of the hedging instrument are within 80% and 125% of the inverse changes in the fair value or discounted cash flows of the hedged item. The Company formally assesses effectiveness of its hedging relationships both at the hedge inception and on a quarterly basis in accordance with its risk management policy.

The Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively if: (i) it is determined that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of a hedged item; (ii) the derivative expired or is sold, terminated or exercised; (iii) the derivative is de-designated as a hedge instrument; (iv) it is probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur, or (v) management determines that designation of the derivative as a hedge instrument is no longer appropriate. The Company continually assesses the credit standing of the derivative counterparty and if the counterparty is deemed to be no longer creditworthy, the hedge will no longer be effective. As a result, the Company will prospectively discontinue hedge accounting.

The Company receives collateral on derivative transactions, which is included in other liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet, to mitigate its risk of loss (refer to Note 12 — Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk Management.

Fair Value Hedges

The Company designates and accounts for the following as fair value hedges when they have met the requirements of authoritative guidance related to derivatives and hedging: (i) interest rate swaps to convert fixed rate investments to floating rate investments and (ii) equity swaps to hedge the market price risk for common stock investments.

For fair value hedges, the Company generally uses a qualitative assessment to assess hedge effectiveness, which matches the critical terms of the derivative with the underlying hedged item. For fair value hedges of equity investments, the Company uses regression analysis, which measures the correlation to the equity exposure being hedged. For fair value hedges, in which derivatives hedge the fair value of assets, changes in the fair value of derivatives are reflected in net investment gains and losses, together with changes in the fair value of the related hedged item. The Company’s fair value hedges primarily hedge fixed maturity securities.

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company designates and accounts for the following as cash flow hedges, when they have met the requirements of the authoritative guidance related to derivatives and hedging: (i) interest rate swaps to convert floating rate investments to fixed rate investments; (ii) interest rate swaps to convert floating rate liabilities into fixed rate liabilities and (iii) interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate risk associated with forecasted transactions.

For cash flow hedges in which derivatives hedge the variability of cash flows related to variable rate available-for-sale securities and available-for-sale securities that are exposed to foreign exchange risk, the accounting treatment depends on the effectiveness of the hedge. To the extent the derivatives are effective in offsetting the variability of the hedged cash flows; changes in the derivatives’ fair value will not be included in current earnings but are reported in OCI. These changes in fair value will be included in net investment gains (losses) or net investment income of future periods when earnings are also affected by the variability of the hedged cash flows. For hedges of assets or liabilities that are subject to transaction gains and losses under the authoritative guidance related to foreign currency, the change in fair value relative to the change in spot rates during the reporting period is reclassified and reported with the transaction gain or loss of the asset or liability being hedged. To the extent these derivatives are not effective, changes in their fair values are immediately included in earnings in net investment gains (losses).

The assessment of hedge effectiveness for cash flow hedges of interest rate risk excludes amounts relating to risks other than exposure to the benchmark interest rate. The Company uses either the short-cut method, if appropriate, or regression analysis to assess hedge effectiveness to changes in the benchmark interest rate. The change in variable cash flows method is used to measure hedge ineffectiveness when appropriate.

For cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions, hedge accounting is discontinued when it is probable that a forecasted transaction will not occur. In these cases, the derivative will continue to be carried on the balance sheet at its fair value, and gains and losses that were in AOCI will be recognized immediately in net investment gains (losses). When the hedged forecasted transaction is no longer probable, but is reasonably possible, the accumulated gain or loss remains in OCI and will be recognized when the transaction affects net income; however, prospective hedge accounting for the transaction is terminated. In all other cash flow hedge situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued, the gains and losses that were accumulated in OCI will be recognized immediately in net investment gains (losses) and the derivative will be carried at its fair value on the balance sheet, with changes in its fair value recognized in current period net investment gains (losses).

Embedded Derivatives

The Company may enter into contracts that are not themselves derivative instruments but contain embedded derivatives. For each contract, the Company assesses whether the economic characteristics of the embedded derivative are clearly and closely related to those of the host contract and determines whether a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded instrument would meet the definition of a derivative instrument. When it is determined that the embedded derivative possesses economic characteristics that are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the host contract, and that a separate instrument with the same terms would qualify as a derivative instrument, the embedded derivative is separated from the host contract and accounted for as a stand-alone derivative. Such embedded derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value and changes in their fair value are recorded currently in earnings. In certain instances, the Company may elect to carry the entire contract on the balance sheet at fair value.

For further information on the Company’s derivative instruments and related hedged items and their effect on the Company’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows refer to Note 12 — Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk Management.

Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”)

In the normal course of its investment activities, the Company enters into relationships with various special purpose entities (“SPEs”) and other entities that are deemed to be VIEs. A VIE is an entity that either (i) has equity investors that lack certain essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest (including the ability to control activities of the entity, the obligation to absorb the entity’s expected losses and the right to receive the entity’s expected residual returns) or (ii) lacks sufficient equity to finance its own activities without financial support provided by other entities, which in turn would be expected to absorb at least some of the expected losses of the VIE. If the Company determines that it is the VIE’s primary beneficiary, it is required to consolidate the VIE.

The Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE if the Company has (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entity and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could be potentially significant to the VIE. If both conditions are present, the Company is required to consolidate the VIE.

This authoritative guidance is deferred indefinitely for certain entities that have the attributes of investment companies, with the exception of securitizations, asset-backed financings, collateralized structure and former qualifying SPEs. In addition, entities are not eligible for the deferral if any obligation to fund losses or guarantee performance exists. In accordance with the deferral provisions, the Company is the primary beneficiary and is required to consolidate the VIE if it stands to absorb a majority of the VIE’s expected losses or to receive a majority of the VIE’s expected residual returns, or both.

Loaned Securities and Repurchase Agreements

The Company enters into securities lending agreements whereby certain investment securities are loaned to third-parties for the purpose of enhancing income on certain securities held. Securities loaned are treated as financing arrangements, and are recorded at the amount of cash advanced or received. With respect to securities loaned, the Company requires initial collateral, usually in the form of cash, equal to 102% of the fair value of domestic securities loaned. If foreign securities are loaned and the denomination of the collateral is other than the denomination of the currency of the loaned securities, then the initial required collateral is 105% of the face value. The Company monitors the fair value of securities loaned with additional collateral obtained as necessary.

The Company enters into agreements to purchase and resell securities, and agreements to sell and repurchase securities for the purpose of enhancing income on the securities portfolio. Securities purchased under agreements to resell are treated as investing activities and are carried at fair value, including accrued interest. It is the Company’s policy to generally take possession, or control, of the securities purchased under these agreements to resell. However, for tri-party repurchase agreements, the Company’s designated custodian takes possession of the underlying collateral securities. Securities purchased under agreement to resell are reflected separately in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Under agreements to sell and repurchase securities, the Company obtains the use of funds from a broker for generally one month. Assets to be repurchased are the same, or substantially the same, as the assets transferred. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are treated as financing arrangements. Collateral received is invested in short-term investments with an offsetting collateral liability. The liability is included in other liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The fair value of the securities to be repurchased or resold is monitored and additional collateral is obtained, where appropriate, to protect against credit exposure.

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs

The costs of acquiring new and maintaining renewal business and certain costs of issuing policies that vary with and are primarily related to the production of new and renewal business have been deferred and recorded as an asset in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. These costs consist primarily of commissions, certain expenses of underwriting and issuing contracts and certain agency expenses.

For universal life and deferred annuity contracts, such costs are amortized in proportion to estimated gross profits over the estimated effective life of those contracts. Changes in assumptions for all policies and contracts are reflected as retroactive adjustments in the current year’s amortization. For these contracts the carrying amount of DAC is adjusted at each balance sheet date as if the unrealized investment gains or losses had been realized and included in the gross margins or gross profits used to determine current period amortization. The increase or decrease in DAC, due to unrealized investment gains or losses, is recorded in OCI.

For single premium immediate annuities with life contingencies, all acquisition costs are charged to expense immediately because generally all premiums are received at the inception of the contract.

The Company assesses internal replacements to determine whether such modifications significantly change the contract terms. When the modification substantially changes the contract, DAC is written-off immediately through income and only new deferrable expenses associated with the replacements are deferred. DAC written-off at the date of lapse cannot be restored when a policy subsequently reinstates. If the contract modifications do not substantially change the contract, DAC amortization on the original policy will continue and any acquisition costs associated with the related modification are expensed.

Sales Inducements

For some deferred annuity products, the Company offers policyholders a bonus equal to a specified percentage of the policyholder’s initial deposit and additional credits to the policyholder’s account value related to minimum accumulation benefits, which are considered sales inducements in certain instances. The Company also offers enhanced crediting rates on certain dollar cost averaging programs related to its deferred annuity products. The Company defers these aforementioned sales inducements and amortizes them over the life of the policy using the same methodology and assumptions used to amortize DAC. Deferred sales inducements are reported in other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Intangible Assets

The Company holds an intangible asset with a finite life is amortized over its useful life. Intangible assets with a finite useful life are tested for impairment when facts and circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable, and an impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted cash flows attributable to the asset. The amount of the impairment loss to be recorded is calculated by the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value.

Fair value is generally determined using discounted cash flow analysis using assumptions that a market participant would use.

All intangible assets are reported in other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Policyholders’ Account Balances

The Company’s liability for policyholders’ account balances represents the contract value that has accrued to the benefit of the policyholder as of the balance sheet date. This liability is generally equal to the accumulated account deposits, plus interest credited, less policyholder withdrawals and other charges assessed against the

account balance. This liability also includes amounts that have been assessed to compensate the insurer for services to be performed over future periods, and the fair value of embedded derivatives in the above contracts (refer to Note 6 — Policyholders’ Liabilities).

Future Policy Benefits

The Company’s liability for future policy benefits is primarily comprised of the present value of estimated future payments to or on behalf of policyholders, where the timing and amount of payment depends on policyholder mortality, less the present value of future net premiums. For non-participating traditional life insurance and annuity products, expected mortality and lapse or surrender are generally based on the Company’s historical experience or standard industry tables including a provision for the risk of adverse deviation. Interest rate assumptions are based on factors such as market conditions and expected investment returns. These assumptions are established at the time the policy is issued and are intended to estimate the experience for the period the policy benefits are payable. If experience is less favorable than assumed and future losses are projected under loss recognition testing, then additional liabilities may be required, resulting in a charge to increase in liabilities for future policy benefits in the accompanying Consolidated Income Statement. The Company does not establish loss reserves until a loss has occurred.

The Company’s liability for future policy benefits also includes liabilities for guarantee benefits related to certain non-traditional long-duration life and annuity contracts, which are discussed more fully in Note 6 —  Policyholders’ Liabilities.

Policy Claims

The Company’s liability for policy claims includes a liability for unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses. Unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses include estimates of claims that the Company believes have been incurred but have not yet been reported as of the balance sheet date.

Debt

Debt is generally carried at unpaid principal balance and is included in other liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. Refer to Note 15 – Fair Value Measurements for discussion on the fair value of debt.

Separate Account Assets and Liabilities

The Company has separate accounts, some of which are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and others that are not registered with the SEC. The Company reports separately, as separate account assets and separate account liabilities, investments held in separate accounts and liabilities of the separate accounts if (i) such separate accounts are legally recognized; (ii) assets supporting the contract liabilities are legally insulated from the Company’s general account liabilities; (iii) investments are directed by the contractholder; and (iv) all investment performance, net of contract fees and assessments, is passed through to the contractholder. The separate accounts have varying investment objectives, are segregated from the Company’s general account and are maintained for the benefit of separate account policyholders. Investment risks associated with market value changes are borne by the customers, except to the extent of minimum guarantees made by the Company with respect to certain accounts. All separate account assets are stated at fair value. The separate account liabilities represent the policyholders’ interest in the account, and include accumulated net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses on the assets.

NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

 

Contingencies

Amounts related to contingencies are accrued if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and an amount is reasonably estimable. Regarding litigation, management evaluates whether there are incremental legal or other costs directly associated with the ultimate resolution of the matter that are reasonably estimable and, if so, includes these costs in the accrual.

Other Assets and Other Liabilities

Other assets primarily consist of investment income due and accrued, receivables from affiliates and sales inducements. Other liabilities consist primarily of net deferred tax liabilities, collateral received on securities loaned and payables to affiliates.

Recognition of Insurance Income and Related Expenses

Premiums from annuity policies with life contingencies and from whole and term life policies are recognized as income when due. The associated benefits and expenses are matched with income so as to result in the recognition of profits over the life of the contracts. This match is accomplished by providing for liabilities for future policy benefits (as discussed in Note 6 — Policyholders’ Liabilities) and the deferral and subsequent amortization of policy acquisition costs.

Amounts received under deferred annuity and universal life type contracts are reported as deposits to policyholders’ account balances (as discussed in Note 6 — Policyholders’ Liabilities). Revenues from these contracts consist of amounts assessed during the period for mortality and expense risk, policy administration and surrender charges, and are included as fee income in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income. In addition to fees, the Company earns investment income from the investment of policyholders’ deposits in the Company’s general account portfolio. Amounts previously assessed to compensate the Company for services to be performed over future periods are deferred and recognized into income over the period benefited, using the same assumptions and factors used to amortize DAC. Policy benefits and claims that are charged to expense include benefit claims incurred in the period in excess of related policyholders’ account balances.

Premiums for contracts with a single premium or a limited number of premium payments due over a significantly shorter period than the total period over which benefits are provided are recorded as income when due. Any excess profit is deferred and recognized as income in a constant relationship to insurance in-force and, for annuities, in relation to the amount of expected future benefit payments.

Premiums, universal life fee income, benefits and expenses are stated net of reinsurance ceded. Estimated reinsurance ceding allowances are recognized over the life of the reinsured policies using assumptions consistent with those used to account for the underlying policies.

Net revenue from reinsurance primarily represents the experience rated refund, amortization of the deferred gain and the reserve adjustment associated with the reinsurance business ceded to New York Life, as discussed in Note 10 — Reinsurance. This net revenue adjustment excludes ceded universal life fees and ceded policyholder benefits, which are included on these respective lines in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income.

Federal Income Taxes

Current federal income taxes are charged or credited to operations based upon amounts estimated to be payable or recoverable as a result of taxable operations for the current year and any adjustments to such estimates from prior years. Deferred federal income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between GAAP and taxable income. Temporary differences are identified

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

 

and measured using a balance sheet approach whereby GAAP and tax balance sheets are compared to each other. Deferred income taxes are generally recognized based on enacted tax rates and a valuation allowance is recorded if it is more likely than not that any portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The authoritative guidance on income taxes requires an evaluation of the recoverability of deferred tax assets and establishment of a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce the deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Considerable judgment is required in determining whether a valuation allowance is necessary, and if so, the amount of such valuation allowance. In evaluating the need for a valuation allowance many factors are considered, including: (i) the nature of deferred tax assets and liabilities; (ii) whether they are ordinary or capital; (iii) in which tax jurisdictions they were generated and the timing of their reversal; (iv) taxable income in prior carry-back years as well as projected taxable earnings exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards; (v) the length of time that carryovers can be utilized in the various tax jurisdictions; (vi) any unique tax rules that would impact the utilization of the deferred tax assets; and (vii) any tax planning strategies that the Company would employ to avoid a tax benefit from expiring unused.

The Company is a member of a group that files a consolidated federal income tax return with New York Life. The consolidated income tax liability is allocated among the members of the group in accordance with a tax allocation agreement. The tax allocation agreement provides that the Company is allocated its share of the consolidated tax provision or benefit, determined generally on a separate company basis, but may, where applicable, recognize the tax benefits of net operating losses or capital losses utilizable in the consolidated group. Intercompany tax balances are generally settled quarterly on an estimated basis with a final settlement within thirty days of the filing of the consolidated return.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance related to income taxes, the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authorities before any part of the benefit can be recorded in the financial statements. The amount of tax benefit recognized for an uncertain tax position is the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon settlement. Unrecognized tax benefits are included within other liabilities and are charged to earnings in the period that such determination is made. The Company classifies interest and penalties related to tax uncertainties as income tax expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income.

Fair Value Measurements

For fair values of various assets and liabilities refer to Note 15 — Fair Value Measurements.

Business Risks and Uncertainties

In periods of extreme volatility and disruptions in the securities and credit markets and under certain interest rate scenarios, the Company could be subject to disintermediation risk and/or reduction in net interest spread or profit margins.

The Company’s investment portfolio consists principally of fixed income securities as well as mortgage loans, policy loans, limited partnerships, limited liability corporations, preferred and common stocks and equity real estate. The fair value of the Company’s investments varies depending on economic and market conditions and the interest rate environment. Furthermore, with respect to investments in mortgage loans, mortgage-backed securities and other securities subject to prepayment and/or call risk, significant changes in prevailing interest rates and/or geographic conditions may adversely affect the timing and amount of cash flows on these investments, as well as their related values. In addition, the amortization of market premium and accretion of

 

16


NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY CORPORATION

(a wholly owned subsidiary of New York Life Insurance Company)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

 

market discount for mortgage-backed securities is based on historical experience and estimates of future payment experience on the underlying mortgage loans. Actual prepayment timing will differ from original estimates and may result in material adjustments to asset values and amortization or accretion recorded in future periods.

Certain of these investments lack liquidity, such as privately placed fixed income securities, equity real estate and other limited partnership interests. The Company also holds certain investments in asset classes that are liquid but have been experiencing significant market fluctuations, such as mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities. If the Company were to require significant amounts of cash on short notice in excess of cash on hand and its portfolio of liquid investments, the Company could have difficulty selling these investments in a timely manner, be forced to sell them for less than they otherwise would have been able to realize, or both.

In periods of high or increasing interest rates, life insurance policy loans and surrenders and withdrawals may increase as policyholders seek investments with higher perceived returns. This could result in cash outflows requiring the Company to sell invested assets at a time when the prices of those assets are adversely affected by the increase in market interest rates, which could cause the Company to suffer realized investment losses. In addition, when interest rates rise, the Company may face competitive pressure to increase crediting rates on certain insurance and annuity contracts, and such changes may occur more quickly than corresponding changes to the rates earned on the Company’s general account investments.

During periods of low or declining interest rates, the Company is contractually obligated to credit a fixed minimum rate of interest on almost all of its life insurance and annuity policies. Should yields on new investments decline to levels below these guaranteed minimum rates for a long enough period, the Company may be required to credit interest to policyholders at a higher rate than the rate of return the Company earns on its portfolio of investments supporting those products, thus generating losses.

Although management of the Company employs a number of asset/liability management strategies to minimize the effects of interest rate volatility, no guarantee can be given that it will be successful in managing the effects of such volatility.

Issuers or borrowers whose securities or loans the Company holds, customers, trading counterparties, counterparties under swaps and other derivative contracts, reinsurers, clearing agents, exchanges, clearing houses and other financial intermediaries and guarantors may default on their obligations to us due to bankruptcy, insolvency, lack of liquidity, adverse economic conditions, operational failure, fraud or other reasons. In addition, the underlying collateral supporting the Company’s structured securities, including mortgage-backed securities, may deteriorate or default causing these structured securities to incur losses.

Weak equity market performance may adversely affect sales of variable products, cause potential purchasers of the Company’s products to refrain from new or additional investments, and may cause current customers to surrender or redeem their current products and investments.

Revenues of the Company’s variable products are, to a large extent, based on fees related to the value of assets under management (except for its Elite Annuity product, where future revenue is based on adjusted premium payments). Consequently, poor equity market performance reduces fee revenues. The level of assets under management could also be negatively affected by withdrawals or redemptions.

The Company issues certain variable products with various types of guaranteed minimum benefit features. The Company establishes reserves for the expected payments resulting from these features. The Company bears the risk that payments may be higher than expected as a result of significant, sustained downturns in the stock market. The Company also bears the risk that additional reserves may be required if partial surrender activity increases significantly for some annuity products during the period when account values are less than guaranteed amounts.

The Risk-Based Capital, or RBC, ratio is the primary measure by which regulators evaluate the capital adequacy of the Company. RBC is determined by statutory rules that consider risks related to the type and quality of invested assets, insurance-related risks associated with the Company’s products, interest rate risk and general business risks. Disruptions in the capital markets could increase equity and credit losses and reduce the Company’s statutory surplus and RBC ratio. To the extent the Company’s statutory capital resources are deemed to be insufficient to maintain a particular rating by one or more rating agencies, the Company may seek to improve its capital position, including through operational changes and potentially seeking capital from New York Life.

The Company faces significant competition.

The Company faces strong competition in its Insurance and Investment Group businesses. The Company’s ability to compete is based on a number of factors, including product features, investment performance, service, price, distribution capabilities, scale, commission structure, name recognition and financial strength ratings.

New York Life’s career agency force is the primary means by which it distributes life insurance products. In order to continue increasing life insurance sales, the Company must retain and attract additional productive career agents.

Rating agencies assign the Company financial strength/claims paying ability ratings, based on their evaluations of the Company’s ability to meet its financial obligations. These ratings indicate a rating agency’s view of an insurance company’s ability to meet its obligations to its insured. In certain of the Company’s markets, ratings are important competitive factors of insurance companies. Rating organizations continue to review the financial performance and condition of insurers, including the Company. A significant downgrade in the Company’s ratings could materially and adversely affect its competitive position in the life insurance market and increase its cost of funds.

Regulatory developments in the markets in which the Company operates could affect the Company’s business.

Although the federal government does not directly regulate the business of insurance, federal legislation and administrative policies in several areas, including pension regulation, financial services regulation, derivatives and federal taxation, can significantly and adversely affect the insurance industry and the Company. There are a number of current or potential regulatory measures that may affect the insurance industry. The Company is unable to predict whether any changes will be made, whether any administrative or legislative proposals will be adopted in the future, or the effect, if any, such proposals would have on the Company.

The attractiveness to the Company’s customers of many of its products is due, in part, to favorable tax treatment. Current federal income tax laws generally permit the tax-deferred accumulation of earnings on the premiums paid by the holders of annuities and life insurance products. Taxes, if any, are payable generally on income attributable to a distribution under the contract for the year in which the distribution is made. Death benefits under life insurance contracts are received free of federal income tax. Changes to the favorable tax treatment may reduce the attractiveness of the Company’s products to its customers.

NOTE 3 — RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2011, the FASB enhanced the disclosure requirements about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either offset in accordance with existing guidance for right of setoff or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in the financial statement. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative

periods presented. The Company’s adoption of this guidance is expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial statement disclosures, but no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In June 2011, the FASB issued updated guidance regarding the presentation of comprehensive income. The updated guidance eliminates the option to present components of OCI as part of the consolidated statement of equity. Under the updated guidance, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The updated guidance does not change the items that are reported in OCI or when an item of OCI must be reclassified to net income. Additionally, an entity is required to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from AOCI to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of OCI are presented. This new guidance is effective for the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2011 and should be applied retrospectively. The Company will adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2012. The Company expects this guidance to have an impact on its financial statement presentation but no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In December 2011, the FASB deferred the effective date for amendments to the presentation of reclassifications of items out of AOCI. The deferral is effective January 1, 2012 and as a result the Company will not be required to comply with the new reclassification presentation requirements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued updated guidance on the fair value measurements and related disclosure requirements. The updated guidance clarifies existing guidance related to the application of fair value measurement methods and requires expanded disclosures. This new guidance is effective for the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2011 and should be applied prospectively. The Company will adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2012. The Company expects this guidance to have an impact on its financial statement disclosures but limited, if any, impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In April 2011, the FASB issued updated guidance clarifying which restructurings constitute TDRs. This guidance is intended to assist creditors in their evaluation of whether conditions exist that constitute a TDR. This new guidance is effective for the first interim or annual reporting period beginning on or after June 15, 2011 and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual reporting period of adoption. The Company’s retroactive adoption of this guidance effective January 1, 2011 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In April 2011, the FASB issued updated guidance regarding the assessment of effective control for repurchase agreements. This new guidance is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2011 and should be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or financial statement disclosures.

In October 2010, the FASB issued guidance to address diversity in practice regarding the interpretation of which costs relating to the acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts qualify for deferral. Under the new guidance acquisition costs are to include only those costs that are directly related to the acquisition or renewal of insurance contracts by applying a model similar to the accounting for loan origination costs. An entity may defer incremental direct costs of contract acquisition that are incurred in transactions with independent third-parties or employees as well as the portion of employee compensation costs related to underwriting, policy issuance and processing, medical inspection and contract selling for successfully negotiated contracts. Additionally, an entity

may capitalize as a deferred acquisition cost only those advertising costs meeting the capitalization criteria for direct-response advertising. This change is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 and interim periods within those years. Early adoption as of the beginning of a fiscal year is permitted. The guidance is to be applied prospectively upon the date of adoption, with retrospective application permitted, but not required. The Company will adopt the provisions of this guidance retrospectively effective January 1, 2012. Retrospective adoption of this guidance will result in the restatement of all years presented with a decrease in retained earnings of approximately $480 million, net of taxes, at January 1, 2010 and an increase in other comprehensive income of approximately $15 million, net of taxes, at January 1, 2010.

In July 2010, the FASB issued updated guidance that requires enhanced disclosures related to the allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of a company’s financing receivable portfolio. The disclosures were effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2011 for private companies. The Company elected to early adopt this guidance and provided the disclosures required by this guidance in Note 4 — Investments. The disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. In January 2011, the FASB deferred the disclosures required by this guidance related to TDRs. The deferred disclosures, which were retrospectively adopted effective January 1, 2011, did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statement disclosures.

In April 2010, the FASB issued guidance clarifying that an insurance entity should not consider any separate account interests in an investment held for the benefit of policyholders to be the insurer’s interests, and should not combine those interests with its general account interest in the same investment when assessing the investment for consolidation, unless the separate account interests are held for a related party policyholder, whereby consolidation of such interests must be considered under applicable variable interest guidance. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010 and retrospectively for all prior periods upon the date of adoption, with early adoption permitted. The Company’s adoption of this guidance, effective January 1, 2011, did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or financial statement disclosures.

In March 2010, the FASB issued updated guidance that amends and clarifies the accounting for credit derivatives embedded in interests in securitized financial assets. This new guidance eliminates the scope exception for embedded credit derivatives (except for those that are created solely by subordination) and provides new guidance on how the evaluation of embedded credit derivatives is to be performed. This new guidance is effective for the first interim reporting period beginning after June 15, 2010. The Company’s adoption of this guidance effective January 1, 2010 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or financial statement disclosures.

In January 2010, the FASB issued updated guidance that requires new fair value disclosures about significant transfers between Level 1 and 2 measurement categories and separate presentation of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements within the rollforward of Level 3 activity. Also, this updated fair value guidance clarifies the disclosure requirements about the level of disaggregation of asset classes and valuation techniques and inputs. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the rollforward of Level 3 activity, which are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The required disclosures are provided in Note 15 — Fair Value Measurements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which changes the analysis required to determine whether or not an entity is a VIE. In addition, the guidance changes the determination of the primary beneficiary of a VIE from a quantitative to a qualitative model. Under the new qualitative model, the primary beneficiary must have both the ability to direct the activities of the VIE and the obligation to absorb either losses or gains that could be significant to the VIE. This guidance also changes when reassessment is needed, as well as requires

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

 

enhanced disclosures, including the effects of a company’s involvement with a VIE on its financial statements. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2009.

In February 2010, the FASB issued updated guidance relative to VIEs which defers, except for disclosure requirements, the impact of this guidance for entities that (i) possess the attributes of an investment company, (ii) do not require the reporting entity to fund losses, and (iii) are not financing vehicles or entities that were formerly classified as qualified special purpose entities (“QSPE”). The Company’s adoption of this guidance effective January 1, 2010 did not result in any transition adjustment.

In June 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which changes the accounting for transfers of financial assets, and is effective for transfers of financial assets occurring in interim and annual reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2009. It removes the concept of a QSPE from the guidance for transfers of financial assets and removes the exception from applying the guidance for consolidation of VIEs to QSPEs. It changes the criteria for achieving sale accounting when transferring a financial asset and changes the initial recognition of retained beneficial interests. The guidance also defines “participating interest” to establish specific conditions for reporting a transfer of a portion of a financial asset as a sale. The Company’s adoption of this guidance effective January 1, 2010 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or financial statement disclosures.

In August 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for the fair value measurement of liabilities. This guidance includes valuation techniques which may be used for measuring fair value when a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, which includes one or more of the following valuation techniques (i) quoted prices for identical liability when traded as an asset; (ii) quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as an asset, or (iii) another valuation technique that is consistent with the fair value principles within GAAP, such as the income or market approach. It also clarifies the adjustments to market inputs that are appropriate for debt obligations that are restricted from being transferred to another obligor. This guidance is effective for the first reporting period beginning after issuance. The Company’s adoption of this guidance effective December 31, 2009 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for, and on July 1, 2009 launched, the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative GAAP to be applied by non-governmental entities. The Codification is not intended to change GAAP but is a new structure which takes accounting pronouncements and organizes them by accounting topic. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company’s adoption of this guidance effective for the interim reporting period ending September 30, 2009 impacts the way the Company references GAAP accounting standards in the financial statements but has no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for subsequent events, which addresses the accounting for and disclosure of subsequent events not addressed in other applicable GAAP, including disclosure of the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. The Company’s adoption of this guidance, effective with the annual reporting period ended December 31, 2009, did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. The required disclosure of the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated is provided in Note 18 — Subsequent Events.

In April 2009, the FASB revised the authoritative guidance for the recognition and presentation of OTTI. This guidance amends previously used methodology for determining whether an OTTI exists for fixed maturity securities, changes the presentation of OTTI for fixed maturity securities and requires additional disclosures for OTTI on fixed maturity and equity securities in interim and annual financial statements. It requires that an OTTI be recognized in earnings for a fixed maturity security in an unrealized loss position when it is anticipated that

 

21


NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

 

the amortized cost will not be recovered. In such situations, the OTTI recognized in earnings is the entire difference between the fixed maturity security’s amortized cost and its fair value only when either: (i) the Company has the intent to sell the fixed maturity security; or (ii) it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the fixed maturity security before recovery of the decline in fair value below amortized cost. If neither of these two conditions exists, the difference between the amortized cost basis of the fixed maturity security and the present value of projected future cash flows expected to be collected is recognized as an OTTI in earnings (“credit loss”). If the fair value is less than the present value of projected future cash flows expected to be collected, this portion of OTTI related to other-than credit factors (“non-credit loss”) is recorded as other comprehensive income (loss). When an unrealized loss on a fixed maturity security is considered temporary, the Company continues to record the unrealized loss in other comprehensive income (loss) and not in earnings. There was no change for equity securities which, when an OTTI has occurred, continue to be impaired for the entire difference between the equity security’s cost or amortized cost and its fair value with a corresponding charge to earnings.

Prior to the adoption of the OTTI guidance, the Company recognized in earnings an OTTI for a fixed maturity security in an unrealized loss position unless it could assert that it had both the intent and ability to hold the fixed maturity security for a period of time sufficient to allow for a recovery of fair value to the security’s amortized cost basis. Also, prior to the adoption of this guidance the entire difference between the fixed maturity security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value was recognized in earnings if it was determined to have an OTTI.

This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company early adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2009 which resulted in an increase of $48 million, net of related DAC, policyholder liability and tax adjustments, to retained earnings with a corresponding decrease to AOCI to reclassify the non-credit loss portion of previously recognized OTTI losses on fixed maturity securities held at January 1, 2009.

As discussed in Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies, the Company establishes a specific reserve when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan agreements and a general reserve for probable incurred but not specifically identified losses. The activity in the mortgage loan specific and general reserves for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 are summarized below (in millions):

For the year ended December 31, 2009, the provision for credit losses was $43 million and direct write-downs were $2 million.

The Company closely monitors mortgage loans with the potential for impairment by considering a number of factors. For commercial mortgage loans, these factors include, but are not limited to, LTV, asset performance such as debt service coverage ratio, lease rollovers, income/expense hurdles, major tenant or borrower issues, the economic climate and catastrophic events. For residential mortgage loans, loans that are sixty or more days delinquent are monitored for potential impairment.

As mentioned above, the Company uses LTV as one of the key mortgage loan indicators to assess credit quality and to assist in identifying problem loans. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, LTVs on the Company’s mortgage loans, net of allowance for credit losses, are as follows (in millions):

Senior secured commercial loans are typically collateralized by all assets of the borrower. The Company’s senior secured commercial loans, before loss reserve, amounted to $331 million and $291 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company establishes a loss reserve for specifically impaired loans and assigns internal risk ratings for the remainder of the portfolio on which it assesses a general loss reserve (refer to Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies for further details). The loss reserve was $13 million and $18 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Unfunded commitments on limited partnerships, limited liability companies and senior secured commercial loans amounted to $185 million and $225 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Included in other invested assets is land and real estate held for sale of approximately $15 million and $13 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. There was no accumulated depreciation on real estate for the years ended December 31, 2011 or 2010. There was no depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2011. Depreciation expense was less than $1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, and was recorded as a component of net investment income in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income. There was no depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2009.

VIEs

Consolidated VIE

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company included assets of $45 million in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet, as a result of consolidating a VIE for which it was determined to be the primary beneficiary. The Company performed a qualitative analysis to determine if the Company has (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entity and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could be potentially significant to the VIE. In reviewing the deal documents including trust agreements, limited partnership agreements and purchase agreements, the Company determined that they are the primary beneficiary of one structured investment.

This VIE consists of a trust established for purchasing receivables from the U.S. Department of Energy related to Energy Savings Performance Contracts and issuing certificates representing the right to those receivables. The following table reflects the carrying amount and balance sheet classification of the assets and liabilities of the consolidated VIE as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 (in millions). The Company has a 98.66% interest in this VIE; however, the creditors do not have recourse to the Company in excess of the assets contained within the VIE.

Unconsolidated VIEs

In the normal course of its activities, the Company will invest in structured investments including VIEs for which it is not the sponsor. These structured investments typically invest in fixed income investments and are managed by third-parties and include asset-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities and residential mortgage-backed securities. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss on these structured investments, both VIEs and non-VIEs, is limited to the amount of its investment. The Company has not provided financial or other support, other than its direct investment, to these structures. The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of these structures due to the fact that it does not have the power to direct the activities that significantly impact the VIEs economic performance. The Company classifies these investments on its accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as fixed maturity securities, available-for-sale and trading and its maximum exposure to loss associated with these investments was $29,117 million and $27,635 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

In the normal course of its activities, the Company will invest in joint ventures, limited partnerships and limited liability companies. These investments include hedge funds, private equity funds and real estate related funds and may or may not be VIEs. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss on these investments, both VIEs and non-VIEs, is limited to the amount of its investment. The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of these structures due to the fact that it does not have the power to direct the activities that significantly impact the entities economic performance. The Company classifies these investments on its accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as “other investments” and its maximum exposure to loss associated with these entities was $563 million and $526 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

These investments are subject to ongoing review for impairment and for events that may cause management to reconsider whether or not it is the primary beneficiary. The Company has no additional economic interest in these structures in the form of derivatives, related guarantees, credit enhancement or similar instruments and obligations. Creditors have no recourse against the Company in the event of default. The Company has unfunded commitments in joint ventures, limited partnerships and limited liability companies which are previously disclosed in Note 4 — Investments.

Restricted Assets and Special Deposits

Assets of $4 million and $5 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were on deposit with governmental authorities or trustees as required by certain state insurance laws and are included in available-for-sale fixed maturity securities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.

* Unrealized loss is less than $1 million.

At December 31, 2011, the unrealized loss amount consisted of approximately 1,656 different fixed maturity securities and 70 equity securities.

At December 31, 2011, unrealized losses on investment grade fixed maturity securities were $160 million or 30% of the Company’s total fixed maturity securities’ unrealized losses. Investment grade is defined as a security having a credit rating from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) of 1 or 2; a rating of Aaa, Aa, A or Baa from Moody’s or a rating of AAA, AA, A or BBB from Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”); or a comparable internal rating if an externally provided rating is not available. Unrealized losses on fixed maturity securities with a rating below investment grade represent $374 million or 70% of the Company’s total fixed maturity securities unrealized losses at December 31, 2011.

The amount of gross unrealized losses for fixed maturity securities where the fair value had declined by 20% or more of amortized cost totaled $260 million. The amount of time that each of these securities has continuously been 20% or more below the amortized cost consist of $88 million for 6 months or less, $36 million for greater than 6 months through 12 months and $136 million for greater than 12 months. In accordance with the Company’s impairment policy, the Company performed quantitative and qualitative analysis to determine if the decline was temporary. For those securities where the decline was considered temporary, the Company did not take an impairment when it did not have the intent to sell the security or it was more likely than not that it would not be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery.

Corporate Bonds.    U.S. corporate securities with a fair value below 80% of the security’s amortized cost totaled $19 million or 25% of the total unrealized losses on U.S. corporate securities. Foreign corporate securities with a fair value below 80% of the security’s amortized cost totaled $7 million or 13% of the total unrealized loss

on foreign corporate securities. While the losses were spread across all industry sectors, the largest sectors with unrealized losses on securities with a fair value below 80% of the security’s amortized cost include Banks ($9 million), Utilities ($9 million), and Finance ($4 million). These securities are evaluated in accordance with the Company’s impairment policy. Because the securities continue to meet their contractual payments and the Company did not have the intent to sell the security nor was it more likely than not that it would be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery, the Company did not consider these investments to be other than temporarily impaired.

Non-Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities.    Residential mortgage-backed securities that were priced below 80% of the security’s amortized cost represented $206 million or 62% of total unrealized losses on residential mortgage–backed securities. Commercial mortgage-backed securities that were priced below 80% of the security’s amortized cost represented $8 million or 30% of total unrealized losses on commercial mortgage-backed securities. The Company measures its mortgage-backed portfolio for impairments based on the security’s credit rating and whether the security has an unrealized loss. The Company also evaluates mortgage-backed securities for other- than-temporary impairments in accordance with its impairment policy using cash flow modeling techniques coupled with an evaluation of facts and circumstances. The Company did not have the intent to sell its investments nor was it more likely than not that it would be required to sell the investments before its anticipated recovery in value; therefore, the Company did not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

Non-Agency Asset-Backed Securities.    Similar to mortgage-backed securities, the Company measures its asset-backed portfolio for impairments based on the security’s credit rating and whether the security has an unrealized loss. The Company also evaluates asset-backed securities for other-than-temporary impairments based on facts and circumstances and in accordance with the Company’s impairment policy. Asset-backed securities that were priced below 80% of the security’s amortized cost represented $20 million or 48% of the total unrealized losses for asset-backed securities. The Company did not have the intent to sell its investments nor was it more likely than not that it would be required to sell the investments before recovery, therefore the Company did not consider these investments to be other than temporarily impaired.

Net Unrealized Investment Gains (Losses)

Net unrealized investment gains (losses) on available-for-sale investments are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as a component of AOCI. Changes in these amounts include reclassification adjustments for prior period net unrealized gains (losses) that have been recognized as realized gains (losses) during the current year and are included in net investment gains (losses) in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income.

Policyholders’ account balances at December 31, 2011 and 2010 were as follows (in millions):

 

     2011      2010  

Deferred annuities

   $ 38,473       $ 37,677   

Universal life contracts

     22,937         21,642   

Annuities certain

     513         424   

Supplementary contracts without life contingencies

Guaranteed minimum accumulation benefit

     470         222   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

Total policyholders’ account balances

   $ 63,049       $ 60,656   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

Policyholders’ account balances on the above contracts are equal to cumulative deposits plus interest credited less withdrawals and less mortality and expense charges, where applicable.

Unearned revenue liability represents amounts that have been assessed to compensate the insurer for services to be performed over future periods.

The Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit (“GMAB”) is the fair value of embedded derivatives on deferred annuity contracts.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, of the total policyholders’ account balances of $63,049 million and $60,656 million, respectively, the total amounts that have surrender privileges were $62,159 million and $59,814 million, respectively. The amounts redeemable in cash by policyholders at December 31, 2011 and 2010 were $59,636 million and $57,498 million, respectively.

Guaranteed Minimum Benefits

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had variable contracts with guarantees. (Note that the Company’s variable contracts with guarantees may offer more than one type of guarantee in each contract; therefore, the amounts listed are not mutually exclusive). For guarantees of amounts in the event of death, the net amount at risk is defined as the current Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit (“GMDB”) in excess of the current account balance at the balance sheet date. For guarantees of accumulation balances, the net amount at risk is defined as GMAB minus the current account balance at the balance sheet date.

Variable Annuity Contracts — GMDB and GMAB

The Company issues certain variable annuity contracts with GMDB and GMAB features that guarantee either:

a) Return of deposits:    the benefit is the greater of current account value or premiums paid (adjusted for withdrawals).

b) Ratchet:    the benefit is the greatest of the current account value, premiums paid (adjusted for withdrawals), or the highest account value on any contractually specified anniversary up to contractually specified ages (adjusted for withdrawals).

The following table provides the account value, net amount at risk and average attained age of contract holders at December 31, 2011 and 2010 for GMDB and GMAB ($ in millions):

For GMABs, incurred guaranteed minimum benefits incorporate all changes in fair value other than amounts resulting from paid guarantee benefits. GMABs are considered to be embedded derivatives and are recognized at fair value through interest credited to policyholders’ account balances in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income (refer to Note 15 — Fair Value Measurements).

The GMDB liability is determined each period end by estimating the expected value of death benefits in excess of the projected account balance and recognizing the excess ratably over the accumulation period based on total expected assessments in accordance with applicable guidance. The Company regularly evaluates estimates used and adjusts the additional liability balance, with a related charge or credit to increase in liabilities for future policy benefits in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income, if actual experience or other evidence suggests that earlier assumptions should be revised.

The following assumptions and methodology were used to determine the GMDB liability at December 31, 2011 and 2010:

 

   

Data used was 1,000 stochastically generated investment performance scenarios.

 

   

Mean investment performance assumption ranged from 5.12% to 7.08% for 2011 and 5.42% to 6.73% for 2010.

 

   

Volatility assumption ranged from 13.14% to 14.67% for 2011 and was 13.47% to 15.45% for 2010.

 

   

Mortality was assumed to be 91.00% of the A2000 table for 2011 and 2010.

 

   

Lapse rates vary by contract type and duration and range from 0.50% to 30.00%, with an average of 6.04% for 2011, and 0.50% to 30.00%, with an average of 6.30% for 2010.

 

   

Discount rates ranged from 6.53% to 7.31% for 2011 and 6.69% to 7.25% for 2010.

Additional Liability for Individual Life Products

Certain individual life products require additional liabilities for contracts with excess insurance benefit features. These excess insurance benefit features are generally those that result in profits in early years and losses in subsequent years. For the Company’s individual life contracts, this requirement primarily affects universal life policies with cost of insurance charges that are significantly less than the expected mortality costs in the intermediate and later policy durations.

Generally, the Company has separately defined an excess insurance benefit feature to exist when expected mortality exceeds all assessments. This insurance benefit feature is in addition to the base mortality feature, which the Company defines as expected mortality not in excess of assessments.

The following table summarizes the liability for excess insurance benefit features reflected in the general account in future policy benefits at December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 (in millions):

The Company’s federal income tax returns are routinely examined by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and provisions are made in the financial statements in anticipation of the results of these audits. The IRS has completed audits through 2007 and anticipates the audit for tax years 2008 through 2010 to begin in 2012. There were no material effects on the Company’s results of operations as a result of these audits. The Company believes that its recorded income tax liabilities are adequate for all open years.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate by $2 million. The Company’s total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, are less than $1 million and $44 million, respectively. Total interest expense associated with the liability for unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, aggregated $2 million, $3 million and $6 million, respectively, and are included in income tax expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income. At December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company had $7 million, $14 million and $31 million, respectively, of accrued interest associated with the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which are reported in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet (included in other liabilities). The $7 million decrease from December 31, 2010 in accrued interest associated with the liability for unrecognized tax benefits is the result of an increase of $2 million of interest expense and a $9 million decrease resulting from IRS settlements. The $17 million decrease from December 31, 2009 in accrued interest associated with the liability for unrecognized tax benefits is the result of an increase of $3 million of interest expense and a $20 million decrease resulting from IRS settlements. The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to its total unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.

NOTE 10 — REINSURANCE

The Company enters into reinsurance agreements in the normal course of its insurance business to reduce overall risk and to be able to issue life insurance policies in excess of its retention limits. As of December 31, 2011, the Company reinsures the mortality risk on new life insurance policies on a quota-share yearly renewable term basis for almost all products. The Company had typically retained 10% of each risk until 2005 when it began retaining larger shares on many products. The quota-share retained now ranges from 10% to 95% and most products are fully retained if the policy size is less than $1 million. Most of the reinsured business is on an automatic basis. Cases in excess of the Company’s retention and certain substandard cases are reinsured facultatively. The Company does not have any individual life reinsurance agreements that do not transfer risk or contain risk-limiting features.

The Company remains liable for reinsurance ceded if the reinsurer fails to meet its obligation on the business it has assumed. The Company periodically reviews the financial condition of its reinsurers and amounts recoverable in order to minimize its exposure to losses from reinsurer insolvencies. When necessary, an allowance is recorded for reinsurance the Company cannot collect. Three reinsurance companies account for approximately 79% and 78% of the reinsurance ceded to non-affiliates at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

In December 2004, the Company reinsured 90% of a block of in-force life insurance business, consisting of Universal Life, Variable Universal Life (“VUL”), Target Life and Asset Preserver, with New York Life. The agreement used a combination of coinsurance with funds withheld for the fixed portion maintained in the general account and modified coinsurance (“MODCO”) for the VUL policies in the Separate Accounts. Under both the MODCO and Funds Withheld treaties, the Company will retain the assets held in relation to the policyholders’

account balances and separate account liabilities. An experience refund will be paid to the Company at the end of each quarterly accounting period for 100% of the profits in excess of $5 million per year. Under authoritative guidance related to derivatives and hedging, the Funds Withheld and the MODCO treaties, along with the experience rating refund represents an embedded derivative, which is required to be carried at fair value. The fair value of this embedded derivative approximated $15 million and $48 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and is included in amounts recoverable from reinsurer in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. The change in fair value of this embedded derivative was ($33) million, $43 million and ($4) million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and is included in net revenue from reinsurance in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income.

In connection with the above described reinsurance agreement with New York Life, the Company recorded a deferred gain of $244 million, which includes the $25 million purchase price and $219 million of GAAP reserves recoverable from the reinsurer in excess of the funds withheld liability. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, $1 million of the deferred gain was amortized and is included in net revenue from reinsurance in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income. For the year ended December 31, 2009, $32 million of the deferred gain was amortized and is included in net revenue from reinsurance in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income. The effect of this affiliated reinsurance agreement for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was as follows (in millions):

Effective July 1, 2002, the Company transferred the Taiwan branch’s insurance book of business to an affiliated company, New York Life Insurance Taiwan Corporation (“NYLT”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of New York Life. The Company is jointly liable with NYLT for two years from the giving of notice to all obligees for all matured obligations and for two years after the maturity date of not-yet matured obligations. NYLT is also contractually liable, under indemnification provisions of the transaction, for any liabilities that may be asserted against the Company. The transfer of the branch’s net assets was accounted for as a long-duration coinsurance transaction. Under this accounting treatment, the insurance related liabilities remain on the books of the Company and an offsetting reinsurance recoverable is established. Additionally, premiums and benefits associated with any business sold prior to July 1, 2002 are reflected in the Company’s accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income.

Accordingly, the Company recorded the following with respect to this transaction (in millions):

 

     2011      2010      2009

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

 

The Company issued a promissory note on November 1, 2006, in the amount of $8 million at a fixed interest rate of 5.5% per annum in connection with the purchase of a membership interest in Aeolus Wind Power II LLC. The note calls for the Company to make quarterly payments of principal and interest with the first installment paid on January 31, 2007 and the final installment due on July 31, 2016. The note may not be prepaid in whole or in part and there are no collateral requirements. The carrying amount of the note was $4 million and $5 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Non-Recourse Debt

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company was required to consolidate one structured investment in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary with an outstanding debt balance of $5 million in both years. Refer to Note 4 — Investments.

NOTE 12 — DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate, currency, market and credit risk. These derivative financial instruments include foreign exchange forward contracts; interest rate and equity options; interest rate, inflation, and credit default and currency swaps. The Company also uses written covered call options in order to generate income. The Company does not engage in derivative financial instrument transactions for speculative purposes. Refer to Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies for a detailed discussion of the types of derivatives the Company enters into, the Company’s objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments and how they are accounted for.

The Company deals with highly rated counterparties and does not expect the counterparties to fail to meet their obligations under the contracts. The Company has controls in place to monitor credit exposures by limiting transactions with specific counterparties within specified dollar limits and assessing the creditworthiness of counterparties. The Company uses netting arrangements incorporated in master agreements with counterparties and adjusts transaction levels, when appropriate, to minimize risk. The Company’s policy is to not offset the fair value amounts recognized for derivatives executed with the same counterparty under the same master netting agreements with the associated collateral.

To further minimize risk, credit support annexes (“CSA”) typically are negotiated as part of swap documentation entered into by the Company with counterparties. The CSA defines the terms under which collateral is transferred in order to mitigate credit risk arising from “in the money” derivative positions. The CSA requires that a derivative counterparty post collateral to secure that portion of its anticipated derivative obligation, taking into account netting arrangements, in excess of a specified threshold. Collateral received is typically invested in short-term investments. Those agreements also include credit contingent provisions whereby the threshold typically declines on a sliding scale with a decline in the counterparties’ rating. In addition, certain of the Company’s contracts contain provisions that require the Company to maintain a specific investment grade credit rating and if the Company’s credit rating were to fall below that specified rating, the counterparty to the derivative instrument could request immediate payout or full collateralization. The Company has less than $1 million in derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a net liability position with the counterparty as of December 31, 2011.

The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event that a counterparty fails to perform its obligations under its contractual terms. For contracts with counterparties where no netting provisions are specified in the master agreements, in the event of default, credit exposure is defined as the fair value of contracts in a gain position at the reporting date, net of any collateral held under a CSA with that counterparty. Credit exposure to counterparties where a netting arrangement is in place, in the event of default, is defined as the net fair value, if positive, of all outstanding contracts with each specific counterparty, net of any collateral held under a CSA with that counterparty. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company held collateral for derivatives of $137 million and $167 million, respectively. Credit risk exposure in a net gain position, net of offsets and collateral, was $25 million and $28 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Fair Value Hedges

The Company recognizes gains and losses on both the derivative instrument and the related hedged item of fair value hedges within net investment gains or losses in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income. The Company did not have any open fair value hedge contracts during 2011, 2010 or 2009.

For fair value hedges, all components of each derivative’s gain or loss were included in the assessment of hedge ineffectiveness. There were no instances during 2011, 2010 and 2009 in which the Company discontinued fair value hedge accounting due to a hedged firm commitment no longer qualifying as a fair value hedge due to hedge ineffectiveness.

In 2011 and 2010, there were no instances in which the Company discontinued cash flow hedge accounting because the forecasted transactions did not occur on the anticipated date or in the additional time period permitted under the authoritative guidance on derivatives and hedging. In 2009, the Company discontinued cash flow hedge accounting on an interest rate swap that was hedging the forecasted interest payments on an underlying interest only strip for which a $4 million impairment loss was taken on the underlying bond. The

Company believed that it was no longer probable that all of the remaining forecasted cash flows would still occur due to credit concerns. Hedge accounting was discontinued and an offsetting gain of $4 million was reclassified from AOCI into net investment losses in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 2009. There were no deferred gains or losses remaining in OCI after the reclassification. The swap will be carried at fair value with changes recognized in net investment losses.

There were no hedged forecasted transactions, other than the receipt or payment of variable interest payments.

The Company enters into credit default swaps (“CDS”) both to buy loss protection from, and sell loss protection to a counterparty in the event of default of a reference obligation or a reference pool of assets. The Company also sells CDS protection on a basket of U.S. securities and indexes in order to swap the credit risk from certain foreign denominated fixed maturity securities. The duration of these contracts is two years. At December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company had four open contracts, for CDS at a notional amount of $13 million, with a net liability of less than $1 million in 2011 and 2010, and $1 million in 2009. Realized gains of less than $1 million, which includes realized gains of less than $1 million related to credit protection sold, were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2009, realized losses of $1 million, which includes realized gains of less than $1 million related to credit protection sold, were recorded. These amounts are reflected in net investment gains (losses) in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income.

The maximum amount the Company would be required to pay under swaps in which credit protection was sold, assuming all referenced obligations default at a total loss without recoveries, would be $1 million for December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. The market value of swaps for credit protection sold was a liability of less than $1 million for December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. The Company posted collateral in the amount of less than $1 million, $1 million and $2 million for December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 respectively, on open positions for credit protection sold.

Embedded Derivatives

The Company has certain embedded derivatives that are required to be separated from their host contracts and accounted for as derivatives. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were no embedded derivatives that could not be separated from their host contracts.

NOTE 13 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

The Company is a defendant in individual and/or alleged class action suits arising from its agency sales force, insurance (including variable contracts registered under the federal securities law), investment, retail securities and/or other operations, including actions involving retail sales practices. Most of these actions seek substantial or unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. The Company is also from time to time involved in various governmental, administrative and investigative proceedings and inquiries.

Notwithstanding the uncertain nature of litigation and regulatory inquiries, the outcome of which cannot be predicted, the Company believes that, after provisions made in the consolidated financial statements, the ultimate liability that could result from litigation and proceedings would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position; however, it is possible that settlements or adverse determinations in one or more actions or other proceedings in the future could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operating results for a given year.

Regulatory Inquiries

By letter dated May 20, 2011, the California Department of Insurance notified the Company that it is conducting a special examination of the Company’s practices regarding payment of benefits under life insurance policies and annuities, termination of annuity payments, payments to holders of retained asset accounts, use of the Social Security Administration “Death Master Index” and other matters. This examination relates to matters also being examined by state departments of revenue (or equivalent state agencies) in a number of states under their respective unclaimed property laws. Subsequent similar notices were received from the Department and the New York and Massachusetts State Attorney General’s Offices. In connection with these audits and examinations, the Company has made a number of payments to beneficiaries and identified additional policies that are in the process of settlement or are being investigated for potential settlement. As a result of these ongoing inquiries, the Company recorded a charge to net income of $9 million, net of reserves, reinsurance recoverable and taxes, for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Assessments

Most of the jurisdictions in which the Company is licensed to transact business require life insurers to participate in guaranty associations, which are organized to pay contractual benefits pursuant to insurance policies issued by impaired, insolvent or failed life insurers. These associations levy assessments, up to prescribed limits, on all member insurers in a particular state on the basis of the proportionate share of the premiums written by member insurers in the line of business in which the impaired, insolvent or failed life insurer is engaged. Some states permit member insurers to recover assessments through full or partial premium tax offsets.

The Company received notification of the insolvency of various life insurers. It is expected that these insolvencies will result in remaining guaranty fund assessments against the Company of approximately $49 million and $39 million which have been accrued in other liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company expects to recover $27 million and $28 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, of premium offsets reflected in other assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.

In 2011, New York Life committed to contribute $20 million, of which $10 million was allocated to the Company, to a voluntary fund that will be established to provide benefits to certain Executive Life Insurance Company of New York (“ELNY”) payees who otherwise would have had their contractual benefits reduced as a result of ELNY’s liquidation.

Guarantees

The Company, in the ordinary course of its business, has numerous agreements with respect to its related parties and other third-parties. In connection with such agreements there may be related commitments or contingent liabilities, which may take the form of guarantees. The Company believes the ultimate liability that could result from any such guarantees would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, $452 million of the Company’s fixed maturity securities were on loan to others. Such assets reflect the extent of the Company’s involvement in securities lending, not the Company’s risk of loss.

New York Life charges the Company for the identified costs associated with these services and facilities under the terms of an administrative service agreement between New York Life and the Company. Such costs, amounting to $731 million, $723 million and $684 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, are reflected in operating expenses and net investment income in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income.

NOTE 15 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The authoritative guidance around fair value establishes a framework for measuring fair value that includes a hierarchy used to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The levels of the fair value hierarchy are based on the inputs to the valuation as follows:

 

Level 1    Fair value is based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market. Active markets are defined as a market in which many transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2    Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other model driven inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs include quoted market prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted market prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities and other market observable inputs. Valuations are generally obtained from third-party pricing services for identical or comparable assets or liabilities or through the use of valuation methodologies using observable market inputs. This category also includes the fair value of separate accounts that invest in LP’s that use net asset value (“NAV”), if the investment can be redeemed with the investee at NAV at the measurement date or in the near-term (generally within 90 days).
Level 3    Instruments whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect management’s own assumptions in pricing the asset or liability. Pricing may also be based upon broker quotes that do not represent an offer to transact. Prices are determined using valuation methodologies such as option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and other similar techniques. Non-binding broker quotes, which are utilized when pricing service information is not available, are reviewed for reasonableness based on the Company’s understanding of the market and are generally considered Level 3. To the extent the internally developed valuations use significant unobservable inputs; they are classified as Level 3.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

 

Transfers between levels

Transfers between levels may occur due to changes in valuation sources, or changes in the availability of market observable inputs, which generally are caused by changes in market conditions such as liquidity, trading volume or bid-ask spreads. The Company’s policy is to assume the transfer occurs at the beginning of the period.

Transfers between Levels 1 and 2

Periodically the Company has transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 for assets and liabilities.

Transfers between Levels 1 and 2 were not significant during the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009.

Transfers into and out of Level 3

The Company’s basis for transferring assets and liabilities into and/or out of Level 3 is based on the changes in the observability of data.

Assets and liabilities are transferred into Level 3 when a significant input cannot be corroborated with market observable data. This occurs when market activity decreases significantly and underlying inputs cannot be observed, current prices are not available, and/or when there are significant variances in quoted prices, thereby affecting transparency. Assets and liabilities are transferred out of Level 3 when circumstances change such that a significant input can be corroborated with market observable data. This may be due to a significant increase in market activity, a specific event, or one or more significant input(s) becoming observable.

During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company transferred $181 million and $270 million, respectively, of securities into Level 3 consisting of fixed maturity available-for-sale securities in 2011 and fixed maturity available-for-sale securities and separate account assets in 2010. The transfers into Level 3 related to fixed maturity available-for-sale securities were primarily due to unobservable inputs utilized within valuation methodologies and the use of broker quotes (that could not be validated) when previously, information from third-party pricing services (that could be validated) was utilized. For the separate account assets, transfers into Level 3 are related to limited partnership investments that are restricted with respect to transfers or withdrawals.

Transfers out of Level 3 of $965 million and $630 million during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were primarily due to significant increases in market activity, or one or more significant input(s) becoming observable for fixed maturity available-for-sale securities in 2011 and fixed maturity available-for-sale and trading securities in 2010.

Net transfers into (out of) Level 3 for fixed maturity available-for-sale securities totaled ($909) million during the year ended December 31, 2009. For the year ended December 31, 2009, transfers out of Level 3 were primarily the result of observable inputs utilized within valuation methodologies and observable information from third-party pricing services or internal models in place of previous broker quotes. Partially offsetting these transfers out of Level 3 were transfers into Level 3 due to the use of unobservable inputs in valuation methodologies as well as the utilization of broker quotes for certain assets.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

 

Determination of Fair Values

The Company has an established and well-documented process for determining fair value. Security pricing is applied using a hierarchy approach whereby publicly available prices are first sought from third-party pricing services, the remaining un-priced securities are submitted to independent brokers for prices and lastly securities are priced using an internal pricing model. The Company performs various analyses to ascertain that the prices represent fair value. Examples of procedures performed include, but are not limited to, back testing recent trades, monitoring trading volumes, and performing variance analysis of monthly price changes using different thresholds based on asset type. The Company also performs an annual review of all third-party pricing services. During this review, the Company obtains an understanding of the process and sources used by the pricing service, the frequency of updating prices, and the controls that the pricing service uses to ensure that their prices reflect market assumptions. The Company also selects a sample of securities and obtains a more detailed understanding from each pricing vendor regarding how they derived the price assigned to each security. Where inputs or prices do not reflect market participant assumptions, the Company will challenge these prices and apply different methodologies that will enhance the use of observable inputs and data.

For Level 1 investments, valuations are generally based on observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets in active markets.

The fair value for Level 2 and Level 3 valuations are generally based on a combination of the market and income approach. The market approach generally utilizes market transaction data for the same or similar instruments, while the income approach involves determining fair values from discounted cash flow methodologies.

The following represents a summary of significant valuation techniques for assets and liabilities used to determine fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Level 1 measurements

Equity securities and cash equivalents

These securities are comprised of certain exchange traded U.S. and foreign common stock and mutual funds, including money market funds. Valuation of these securities is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are readily and regularly available.

Separate account assets

These assets are comprised of actively traded open-ended mutual funds with a daily NAV and equity securities. The NAV can be observed by redemption and subscription transactions between third-parties, or may be obtained from fund managers. Equity securities are generally traded on an exchange.

Level 2 measurements

Fixed maturity available-for-sale and trading securities

The fair value of fixed maturity securities is obtained from third-party pricing services and internal pricing models. Vendors generally use a discounted cash flow model or a market approach. Typical inputs used by these pricing sources include, but are not limited to: benchmark yields, reported trades, issuer spreads, bids, offers, benchmark securities, estimated cash flows and prepayment speeds, which the Company has determined are observable prices.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

 

If the price received from third-party pricing services does not appear to reflect market activity, the Company may challenge the price. Where the vendor updates the price to be consistent with the market observations, the security remains a Level 2.

Private placement securities are primarily priced by internally developed discounted cash flow models. These models use observable inputs with a discount rate based off spreads of comparable public bond issues, adjusted for liquidity, rating and maturity. The Company assigns a credit rating for the private placement based upon internal analysis. The liquidity premium is based upon observable transactions, while the maturity and rating adjustments are based upon data obtained from Bloomberg.

While the Company generally considers the public bond spreads, which are based on vendor prices, to be observable inputs, an evaluation is made of the similarities of private placements with the public bonds to determine whether the spreads utilized would be considered observable inputs for the private placement being valued. Examples of procedures performed include, but are not limited to, initial and on-going review of third-party pricing services’ methodologies, review of pricing statistics and trends, back testing recent trades and monitoring of trading volumes, new issuance activity and other market activities.

For certain private placements, which are below investment grade and not part of the Bloomberg data, the adjustments for maturity rating and liquidity are calculated by the analyst. If the impact of the liquidity adjustment is not significant to the overall value of the security, it is classified as Level 2.

Equity securities

These securities are valued using the market approach in which market quotes are available but are not considered actively traded. Valuations are based principally on observable inputs including quoted prices in markets that are not considered active.

Securities purchased under agreements to resell

Due to the short-term nature (generally one month) of this investment, the asset’s carrying value approximates fair value.

Derivative assets and liabilities

The fair value of these derivative instruments is generally derived through valuation models, which utilize observable market data. The market factors which have the most significant impact on the fair value of these instruments are U.S. swap rates and the exchange value of the U.S. dollar.

Over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives are privately negotiated financial contracts. OTC derivatives are valued using models based on actively quoted or observable market input values from external market data providers, third-party pricing vendors and/or recent trading activity. The selection of a particular model depends upon the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent in the instrument, as well as the availability of pricing information in the market. The Company generally uses similar models to value similar instruments. Valuation model inputs include contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit curves, and for options such as caps, floors and swaptions, measures of volatility. For OTC derivatives that trade in liquid markets, such as currency forwards, swaps and options, model inputs are observable in the market for substantially the full term and can be verified.

Valuations of OTC derivatives are adjusted for non-performance risk. The Company uses default estimates implied by CDS spreads on senior obligations of the counterparty in order to provide an objective basis for such estimates. When in a liability position, the Company uses its own medium term note spread to estimate the default rate. The non-performance risk adjustment is applied only to the uncollateralized portion of the OTC derivative assets and liabilities. OTC derivative contracts are executed under master netting agreements with

counterparties with a CSA, which is a bilateral ratings-sensitive agreement that requires collateral postings at established credit threshold levels. These agreements protect the interests of the Company and its counterparties should either party suffer a credit-rating deterioration. The vast majority of the Company’s derivative agreements are with highly rated major international financial institutions.

Short- term investments

For certain short-term investments, amortized cost is used as the best estimate of fair value.

Cash equivalents

These include treasury bills, commercial paper and other highly liquid instruments. These instruments are generally not traded in active markets, however their fair value is based on observable inputs. The prices are either from a pricing vendor or amortized cost is used as the best estimate of fair value.

Separate account assets

These are investments primarily related to investments in LP’s that use NAV and the investment can be redeemed with the investee at NAV at the measurement date or in the near-term (generally within 90 days).

Level 3 measurements

Fixed maturity available-for-sale and trading securities

The valuation techniques for most Level 3 fixed maturity securities are generally the same as those described in Level 2, however, if the investments are less liquid or are lightly traded, there is generally less observable market data, and therefore these investments will be classified as Level 3. Circumstances where observable market data is not available may include events such as market illiquidity and credit events related to the security. In addition, certain securities are priced based upon internal valuations using significant unobservable inputs.

If the price received from third-party pricing services does not appear to reflect market activity, the Company may challenge the price. For securities which go through this formal price challenge process, if the vendor does not update the price, a non-binding broker quote, another vendor price or current methodology is used to support the fair value instead. The Company also uses non-binding broker quotes to fair value certain bonds, when the Company is unable to obtain prices from third-party vendors.

Private placement securities where adjustments for liquidity are considered significant to the overall price are classified as Level 3.

Equity securities

These securities include equity investments with privately held entities, including a government organization, where the prices are derived from internal valuations or the Company’s private placement models since the securities are not actively traded in an active market.

Separate account assets

Separate account assets are primarily related to limited partnership investments that are restricted with respect to transfer or withdrawals. The limited partnerships are valued based on the latest NAV received, if applicable, or an estimate of fair value provided by the investment manager.

Policyholders’ account balances

Policyholders’ account balances consist of embedded derivatives bifurcated from host contracts, which represent the embedded derivatives for GMAB contracts.

The fair values of GMAB liabilities are calculated as the present value of future expected payments to customers less the present value of assessed rider fees attributable to the embedded derivative feature. The expected cash flows are discounted using the swap rate plus a spread based upon the Company’s medium term notes. The spread reflects the market’s perception of the Company’s non-performance risk. Since there is no observable active market for the transfer of these obligations, the valuations are calculated using internally developed models. Significant inputs to these models include capital market assumptions, such as interest rate, equity market and implied volatility assumptions, as well as various policyholder behavior assumptions that are actuarially determined, including lapse rates, benefit utilization rates, mortality rates and withdrawal rates. These assumptions are reviewed at least annually, and updated based upon historical experience. Since many of the assumptions utilized are unobservable and are considered to be significant inputs to the liability valuation, the liability included in policyholders’ account balances has been reflected within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Non-recurring fair value measurements

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include mortgage loans, which are described in detail below.

The following table represents certain assets measured at estimated fair value during the period and still held as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 (in millions):

The impaired mortgage loans presented above were written down to their estimated fair values at the date the impairments were recognized. Estimated fair values for impaired loans are based on observable market prices or, if the loans are in foreclosure or are otherwise determined to be collaterally dependent on the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral or the present value of the expected future cash flows. Impairments to estimated fair value represent non-recurring fair value measurements that have been categorized as Level 3 due to the lack of price transparency inherent in the limited markets for such mortgage loans.

Mortgage loans

Fair value is determined by discounting the projected cash flow for each loan to determine the current net present value. The discount rate used approximates the current rate for new mortgages with comparable characteristics and similar remaining maturities.

Senior secured commercial loans

The estimated fair value for the loan portfolio is based on prevailing interest rate spreads in the market. Fair value was calculated by discounting future cash flows using prevailing interest rates on similar loans.

Other invested assets

Primarily represent bills of exchange, which are fair valued by discounting the estimated cash flows for each tranche at the prevailing interest rates on the valuation date.

Policyholders’ account balances — investment contracts

This includes supplementary contracts without life contingencies and other deposit type contracts where account value approximates fair value. For fixed deferred annuities, fair value is based upon a stochastic valuation using risk neutral assumptions for financial variables and Company specific assumptions for lapses, mortality and expenses. The cash flows were discounted using the yield on the Company’s medium term notes. For funding agreements backing medium term notes, fair values were based on available market prices for the notes. For annuity certain liabilities, fair values are estimated using discounted cash flow calculations based on interest rates currently being offered for similar contracts with maturities consistent with those remaining for the contracts being valued.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of

New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related consolidated statements of income, of stockholder’s equity and of cash flow present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) at December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit 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 provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As disclosed in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has significant transactions with New York Life Insurance Company and its affiliates. Because of these relationships, it is possible that the terms of the transactions are not the same as those that would result from transactions among wholly unrelated parties.

As described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for other-than-temporary impairments of fixed maturity investments in 2009.

ITEM 29. INDEMNIFICATION

The Officers and Directors of NYLIAC are indemnified pursuant to Section 141 (f) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and under Section 8.01 of the Bylaws of New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation, as adopted on November 3, 1980 and amended on April 6, 1988 and on May 13, 1997.

Section 8.01 of the NYLIAC By-Laws provide for indemnification as follows:

8.01 — LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: INDEMNIFICATION AND ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES

(a) LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR DIRECTORS — No director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the directors duty of loyalty of the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. If the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as so amended.

(b) INDEMNIFICATION AND ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS — Except to the extent expressly prohibited by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Corporation shall indemnify any director or officer who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful.

Except to the extent expressly prohibited by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Corporation shall indemnify any director or officer who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation; provided, that, no indemnification shall be made in respect of any action, suit or proceeding as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action, suit or proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

The Corporation shall advance to or promptly reimburse upon request reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a director or officer in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Section 8.01; provided, however, that such director or officer shall cooperate in good faith with any request by the Corporation that common counsel be utilized by the parties to an action or proceeding who are similarly situated unless to do so would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between or among such parties.

The indemnification of any person provided by this Section 8.01 shall continue after such person has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of such person’s heirs, executors, administrators or legal representative.

The Corporation is authorized to enter into agreements with any of its directors, officers or employees extending rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses to any such person to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, but the failure to enter into any such agreement shall not affect or limit the rights of any such person pursuant to this Section 8.01.

In case any provision in this Section 8.01 shall be determined at any time to be unenforceable in any respect, the other provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and the affected provision shall be given the fullest possible enforcement in the circumstances, it being the intention of the Corporation to afford indemnification and advancement of expenses to its directors and officers, acting in such capacities or in the other capacities mentioned herein, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(c) DETERMINATION OF INDEMNIFICATION

(i) DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS — Subject to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, any indemnification of directors and officers shall be made by either (A) the Corporation’s Board of Directors or (B) the Corporation’s shareholders, upon a determination that such indemnification is proper in the circumstances.

(ii) EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS — Subject to the General Corporation of the State of Delaware, the Corporation may indemnify persons who are or were employees (other than officers of the Corporation), agents, or independent contractors of the Corporation upon the advice of the Corporation’s legal counsel and a determination by (A) the Corporation’s Board of Directors or (B) the Corporation’s shareholders, that such indemnification is proper in the circumstances.
