The date of this prospectus is April 29, 2019. This prospectus states the information about the separate account, the Contract, and Jackson National Life Insurance Company (“Jackson®”) you should know before investing. This prospectus is a disclosure document and describes all of the Contract’s material features, benefits, rights, and obligations. The description of the Contract’s material provisions in this prospectus is current as of the date of this prospectus. If certain material provisions under the Contract are changed after the date of this prospectus, in accordance with the Contract, those changes will be described in a supplemented prospectus. You should carefully read this prospectus in conjunction with any applicable supplements. It is important that you also read the Contract and endorsements, which may reflect additional non-material state variations or other non-material variations. This information is meant to help you decide if the Contract will meet your needs. Please carefully read this prospectus and any related documents and keep everything together for future reference. Additional information about the separate account can be found in the Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”) dated April 29, 2019 that is available upon request without charge.

This prospectus describes the investment options that we currently offer under the Contract. Certain broker-dealers selling the Contracts may limit the investment options that are available to their customers. Ask your representative about which investment options are not offered. If a particular investment option that interests you is not offered, you may want to contact another broker-dealer to explore its availability. We reserve the right to limit the number of Contracts that you may purchase. We also reserve the right to refuse initial and any or all subsequent Premium payments.

The Contracts are intended to be available in situations where the Contract will be owned by a trust which is managed by a financial institution such as a trust company or bank for the benefit of the beneficiaries of the trust. We offer other variable annuity products with different product features, benefits and charges. In some states, you may purchase the Contract through an automated electronic transmission/order ticket verification procedure. Ask your representative about availability and the details.

The SAI is incorporated by reference into this prospectus, and its table of contents appears on page 59. The prospectus and SAI are part of the registration statement that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) about this securities offering. The registration statement, material incorporated by reference, and other information is available on the website the SEC maintains (http://www.sec.gov) regarding registrants that make electronic filings.

Jackson is relying on SEC Rule 12h-7, which exempts insurance companies from filing periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with respect to variable annuity contracts that are registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and regulated as insurance under state law.
Neither the SEC nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved these securities or passed upon the adequacy of this prospectus. It is a criminal offense to represent otherwise. We do not intend for this prospectus to be an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy these securities in any state where this is not permitted.

• Not FDIC/NCUA insured • Not Bank/CU guaranteed • May lose value • Not a deposit • Not insured by any federal agency

The Funds are not the same mutual funds that you would buy directly from a retail mutual fund company or through your stockbroker. The summary prospectuses for the Funds are attached to this prospectus. You should read the summary prospectuses before investing.

This prospectus describes the Investment Divisions that we currently offer under the Contract. Certain broker-dealers selling the Contracts may limit the Investment Divisions that are available to their customers. Please contact your representative for a list of Investment Divisions currently available through your broker-dealer. Investment Divisions that are not available through your broker-dealer may be available through other broker-dealers, but to access them you may need to terminate your relationship with your broker-dealer and provide us with satisfactory evidence of termination. Please consider these potential limitations before purchasing the Contract.

Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of the Funds’ annual and semi annual shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from Jackson. Instead, the reports will be made available on Jackson’s website (www.jackson.com), and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website link to access the report.

If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from Jackson electronically by doing one of the following:

Mailing in the postage-paid card on the cover of this report;
Calling 1-866-349-4564; or
Signing up on www.jackson.com

Beginning on January 1, 2019, you may elect to receive all future reports in paper free of charge. You can inform Jackson that you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder reports by contacting the appropriate Jackson Service Center. Your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all Funds held in each variable contract you purchased from Jackson.

Please note that if you own more than one variable contract with Jackson, your delivery preferences must be set up for each variable contract separately.

* Effective August 13, 2018, the Investment Divisions of the Separate Account investing in the JNL/PPM America Small Cap Value Fund stopped accepting any additional allocations or transfers. Please see “Investment Divisions” on page 15 or more information.

**Effective June 24, 2019, the Investment Division of the Separate Account investing in the JNL/Vanguard Small Company Growth Fund will stop accepting any additional allocations or transfers. If you currently have an automatic program, such as Dollar



Cost Averaging, Dollar Cost Averaging Plus, Earnings Sweep, or Rebalancing, and it includes an allocation to the JNL/Vanguard Small Company Growth Investment Division, you can continue to invest in this Investment Division based on your existing election until you revise or terminate the automatic program.

If you make a subsequent Premium payment and have future allocation instructions on file with us that include an allocation to the JNL/Vanguard Small Company Growth Investment Division, you must choose a replacement Investment Division by June 21, 2019. All such allocations prior to our receipt of new allocation instructions will be allocated to the JNL/WMC Government Money Market Investment Division. Please consult your representative promptly to assist you in subsequently reallocating the Contract Value in the JNL/WMC Government Money Market Investment Division to any other available Investment Division.

Amounts invested in the JNL/Vanguard Small Company Growth Investment Division as of June 24, 2019 will remain invested unless we receive instruction from you. You may continue to make transfers and withdrawals out of this Investment Division in connection with the usual transactions under a Contract, such as partial withdrawals or withdrawals under a GMWB, if available. However, if you transfer out of the JNL/Vanguard Small Company Growth Investment Division on or after June 24, 2019, you will not be able to transfer back in.

GLOSSARY
These terms are capitalized when used throughout this prospectus because they have special meaning. In reading this prospectus, please refer back to this glossary if you have any questions about these terms.

Accumulation Unit – a unit of measure we use to calculate the value in an Investment Division prior to the Income Date.

Annuitant – the natural person on whose life annuity payments for this Contract are based. The Contract allows for the naming of joint Annuitants. Any reference to the Annuitant includes any joint Annuitant.

Annuity Unit – a unit of measure we use in calculating the value of a variable annuity payment on and after the Income Date.

Beneficiary – the natural person or legal entity designated to receive any Contract benefits upon the Owner’s death. The Contract allows for the naming of multiple Beneficiaries.

Business Day – each day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for business.

Contract – the individual deferred variable and fixed annuity contract and any optional endorsements you may have selected.

Contract Anniversary – each one-year anniversary of the Contract’s Issue Date.

Contract Monthly Anniversary – each one-month anniversary of the Contract’s Issue Date.

Contract Quarter – the period of time between consecutive three-month anniversaries of the Contract’s Issue Date.

Contract Quarterly Anniversary – each three-month anniversary of the Contract’s Issue Date.

Contract Value – the sum of the allocations between the Contract’s Investment Divisions and Fixed Account.

Contract Year – the succeeding twelve months from a Contract’s Issue Date and every anniversary. The first Contract Year (Contract Year 0-1) starts on the Contract’s Issue Date and extends to, but does not include, the first Contract Anniversary. Subsequent Contract Years start on an anniversary date and extend to, but do not include, the next anniversary date.

For example, if the Issue Date is January 15, 2020 then the end of Contract Year 0-1 would be January 14, 2021, and January 15, 2021, which is the first Contract Anniversary, begins Contract Year 1-2.

Fixed Account – part of our General Account to which the Contract Value you allocate is guaranteed to earn a stated rate of return over the specified period. The Fixed Account consists of the Fixed Account Options.

Fixed Account Contract Value – the sum of the allocations between the Contract’s Fixed Account Options.

 
Fixed Account Minimum Value – the minimum guaranteed amount of Fixed Account Contract Value. The Fixed Account Minimum Value is equal to 87.5% of all amounts allocated to the Fixed Account Options, reduced by withdrawals and transfers from the Fixed Account Options, any applicable optional benefit charges, taxes, and a $50 annual expense allowance, accumulated at the Fixed Account minimum interest rate.

Fixed Account Option – a Contract option within the Fixed Account for a specific period under which a stated rate of return will be credited.

Fund – a registered management investment company in which an Investment Division of the Separate Account invests.

General Account – the General Account includes all our assets, including any Contract Value allocated to the Fixed Account, which are available to our creditors.

Good Order – when our administrative requirements, including all information, documentation and instructions deemed necessary by us, in our sole discretion, are met in order to issue a Contract or execute any requested transaction pursuant to the terms of the Contract.

Income Date – the date on which you begin receiving annuity payments.

Investment Division – one of multiple variable options of the Separate Account to allocate your Contract’s value, each of which exclusively invests in a different available Fund. The Investment Divisions are called variable because the return on investment is not guaranteed.

Issue Date – the date your Contract is issued.

Jackson, JNL, we, our, or us – Jackson National Life Insurance Company. (We do not capitalize “we,” “our,” or “us” in the prospectus.)

Latest Income Date – the Contract Anniversary on or next following the date on which the Owner attains age 95 under a non-qualified contract, or such earlier date as required by the applicable qualified plan, law or regulation.

Market Value Adjustment – an adjustment to the Contract Value allocated to the Fixed Account that is withdrawn, transferred, or annuitized before the end of the period.

Owner, you or your – the natural person or legal entity entitled to exercise all rights and privileges under the Contract. The Contract allows for the naming of joint Owners. (We do not capitalize “you” or “your” in the prospectus.) Any reference to the Owner includes any joint Owner.


1


Premium(s) – considerations paid into the Contract by or on behalf of the Owner. The maximum aggregate Premium payments you may make without prior approval is $1 million. This maximum amount is subject to further limitations at any time on both initial and subsequent Premium payments.

Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs)for certain qualified contracts, the amount defined under the Internal Revenue Code as the minimum distribution requirement as applied to your Contract only. This definition excludes any withdrawal necessary to satisfy the minimum distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code if the Contract is purchased with contributions from a nontaxable transfer after the death of the owner of a qualified contract.

Separate Account – Jackson National Separate Account – I. The Separate Account is divided into sub-accounts generally referred to as Investment Divisions.

Separate Account Contract Value – the sum of the allocations between the Contract’s Investment Divisions.

EXAMPLE

The example below is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include Contract Owner transaction expenses, Contract fees, Separate Account annual expenses, Fund expenses, and optional endorsement charges.

(The Annual Contract Maintenance Charge is determined by dividing the total amount of such charges collected during the calendar year by the total market value of the Investment Divisions and the Fixed Account, if applicable.)

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated. Neither transfer fees nor Premium tax charges are reflected in the example. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% annual return on assets each year.

The following example includes maximum Fund expenses and the cost if you select the Return of Premium Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

If you surrender your Contract at the end of the applicable time period:
1 year
3 years
5 years
10 years
$307
$928
$1,559
$3,168

If you annuitize at the end of the applicable time period:
1 year
3 years
5 years
10 years
$307
$928
$1,559
$3,168

If you do not surrender your Contract:
1 year
3 years
5 years
10 years
$307
$928
$1,559
$3,168

The example does not represent past or future expenses. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The information about the values of all Accumulation Units constitutes the condensed financial information. Information about the values of Accumulation Units can be found in Appendix C. The value of an Accumulation Unit is determined on the basis of the per share value of an underlying Fund less applicable Separate Account charges. Information about the Separate Account charges and charges for optional endorsements can be found in the “Periodic Expenses” tables above.

The financial statements of the Separate Account and Jackson can be found in the Statement of Additional Information. The financial statements of the Separate Account include information about all the contracts offered through the Separate Account. The financial statements of Jackson that are included should be considered only as bearing upon the company’s ability to meet its contractual obligations under the Contracts. Jackson’s financial statements do not bear on the future investment experience of the assets held in the Separate Account. For your copy of the Statement of Additional Information, please contact us at the Annuity Service Center. Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.

THE ANNUITY CONTRACT

Your Contract is a contract between you, the Owner, and us. Your Contract is intended to help facilitate retirement savings on a tax-deferred basis, or other long-term investment purposes, and provides for a death benefit. Purchases under tax-qualified plans should be made for other than tax deferral reasons. Tax-qualified plans provide tax deferral that does not rely on the purchase of an annuity contract. We will not issue a Contract to someone older than age 85. Optional benefits may have different requirements, as noted.

Your Contract Value may be allocated to:


11


our Fixed Account, as may be made available by us, or as may be otherwise limited by us, and
Investment Divisions of the Separate Account that invest in underlying Funds.
Your Contract, like all deferred annuity contracts, has two phases:

the accumulation phase, when you make Premium payments to us, and
the income phase, when we make income payments to you.
As the Owner, you can exercise all the rights under your Contract. In general, joint Owners jointly exercise all the rights under the Contracts. In some cases, such as telephone and internet transactions, joint Owners may authorize each joint Owner to act individually. On jointly owned Contracts, correspondence and required documents will be sent to the address of record of the primary Owner.

You can assign your Contract at any time during your lifetime, but we will not be bound until we receive written notice of the assignment (there is an assignment form). An assignment may be a taxable event. Please contact our Annuity Service Center for help and more information.

The Contract is an individual flexible Premium variable and fixed deferred annuity. Contracts issued in your state may provide different features and benefits than those described in this prospectus. This prospectus provides a description of the material rights and obligations under the Contract. Your Contract and any endorsements are the formal contractual agreement between you and the Company.

JACKSON

We are a stock life insurance company organized under the laws of the state of Michigan in June 1961. Our legal domicile and principal business address is 1 Corporate Way, Lansing, Michigan 48951. We are admitted to conduct life insurance and annuity business in the District of Columbia and all states except New York. We are ultimately a wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential plc (London, England). Prudential plc is also the ultimate parent of PPM America, Inc. a sub-adviser for certain of the Funds. Jackson is the parent of Jackson National Asset Management, LLC (“JNAM”), the Funds’ investment adviser and administrator. JNAM provides certain administrative services with respect to the Separate Account, including separate account administration services and financial and accounting services. JNAM is located at 225 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL 60606.

We issue and administer the Contracts and the Separate Account. We maintain records of the name, address, taxpayer identification number and other pertinent information for each Owner, the number and type of Contracts issued to each Owner and records with respect to the value of each Contract.

THE FIXED ACCOUNT

Contract Value allocated to the Fixed Account will be placed with other assets in our General Account. Unlike the Separate Account, the General Account is not segregated or insulated from the claims of the insurance company’s creditors. Investors are looking to the financial strength of the insurance company for its obligations under the Contract, including, for example, the guaranteed minimum death benefit. The Fixed Account is not registered with the SEC. Disclosures regarding the Fixed Account, however, may be subject to the general provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in prospectuses. Both the availability of, and transfers into and out of, the Fixed Account (which consists of the Fixed Account Options) may be subject to contractual and administrative requirements. For more information, please see the application, check with the registered representative helping you to purchase the Contract, or contact us at our Annuity Service Center.

Fixed Account Options. Each Fixed Account Option credits interest to your Contract Value in the Fixed Account for a specified period that you select (currently, one, three, five or seven years), subject to availability (and we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to limit or suspend availability of the Fixed Account Options), so long as the Contract Value in that Fixed Account Option is not withdrawn, transferred, or annuitized until the end of the specified period. You may not elect any Fixed Account Option that extends beyond the Income Date, other than the one-year option; and election of the one-year option will not extend the Income Date. Rather, commencing on the Income Date, we will cease to credit interest under any one-year Fixed Account Option that has not yet reached the end of its term.

Rates of Interest We Credit. These Contracts guarantee a Fixed Account minimum interest rate that applies to every Fixed Account Option under any Contract, regardless of the term of that option. The Fixed Account minimum interest rate guaranteed by the Contracts at least equals the minimum rate prescribed by the applicable nonforfeiture law in each state where the Contracts are sold. In addition, we establish a declared rate of interest (“base interest rate”) at the time you allocate any Premium payment or other

12


Contract Value to a Fixed Account Option, and that base interest rate will remain in effect for the entire term of the Fixed Account Option that you select for that allocation. To the extent that the base interest rate that we establish for any allocation is higher than the Fixed Account minimum interest rate, we will credit that allocation with the higher base interest rate. Thus, the declared base interest rate could be greater than the guaranteed Fixed Account minimum interest rate specified in your Contract, but will never cause you to be credited with less than the currently applicable Fixed Account minimum interest rate. Subject to the Fixed Account minimum interest rate, we may declare different base interest rates at different times, although any new base interest rate Jackson declares for a Fixed Account Option will apply only to Premiums or other amounts allocated to that Fixed Account Option after the new rate goes into effect.

The Fixed Account minimum interest rate will be a rate, credited daily, that will be reset every January pursuant to a formula that is prescribed under applicable state nonforfeiture laws and that is set forth in the Contracts. Specifically, the Fixed Account minimum interest rate will be reset each January to equal the average of the daily five-year Constant Maturity Treasury Rates reported by the Federal Reserve for the preceding October (rounded to the nearest 1/20 of a percent), less 1.25%, provided further that the Fixed Account minimum interest rate will never be less than 1% or more than 3%. As noted above, these limits are prescribed by state nonforfeiture laws and set forth in the Contracts. This means that the Fixed Account minimum interest rate applicable to your Contract will in no case ever exceed a maximum of 3%. Your Contract’s initial Fixed Account minimum interest rate will be stated in your Contract, and will be the rate that is in effect on the Contract’s Issue Date pursuant to the foregoing formula. Thereafter, on the Contract Monthly Anniversary for each January, the Fixed Account minimum interest rate will be reset in accordance with the above formula. (The Contract Monthly Anniversary for any January is the Contract Monthly Anniversary that falls within that month). If you allocate a Premium payment or other Contract Value to a Fixed Account Option, the Fixed Account minimum interest rate in effect at the time of the allocation would initially apply to that allocation. Subsequent resets of the Fixed Account minimum interest rate on each January Contract Monthly Anniversary could change the amount of interest you would thereafter earn on that allocation. Thus, if the new Fixed Account minimum interest rate is higher than the rate previously being credited to your allocation to a Fixed Account Option, the interest rate being credited would increase to that new higher rate. On the other hand, if the new Fixed Account minimum interest rate is lower than the rate being credited to your allocation, the interest rate being credited would decrease to that lower rate, but never below the base interest rate. We will advise you of any new Fixed Account minimum interest rate in the fourth quarter report for the calendar year preceding the January Contract Monthly Anniversary on which the change occurs.

For the most current information about applicable interest rates, you may contact your registered representative or (at the address and phone number on the cover page of this prospectus) our Annuity Service Center.

Market Value Adjustment. A Market Value Adjustment may apply to amounts withdrawn, transferred or annuitized from a Fixed Account Option prior to the end of the specified period. The Market Value Adjustment reflects changes in the level of interest rates since the beginning of the Fixed Account Option period. In order to determine whether there will be a Market Value Adjustment, we first consider the base interest rate of the Fixed Account Option from which you are removing Contract Value as a withdrawal, transfer, or annuitization. As discussed above under ‘Rates of Interest we Credit,’ the ‘base interest rate’ is a rate which we declare at the time you allocate any amount to a Fixed Account Option and which we credit to that Fixed Account Option if and when such base interest rate is higher than the Fixed Account minimum interest rate. The Market Value Adjustment is based on the relationship of the base interest rate on your Fixed Account Option to the ‘current new business interest rate,’ which is a rate that we use solely for purposes of calculating the amount of any Market Value Adjustment. The ‘current new business interest rate’ is 0.25% per annum greater than the base interest rate we are then offering on a new Fixed Account Option with the same duration as your Fixed Account Option. If we are not offering that duration at the time of your withdrawal, transfer, or annuitization, we will estimate a base interest rate for that duration based on the closest durations that we are then offering using straight-line interpolation.

If the base interest rate available on a new Fixed Account Option at the time of your withdrawal, transfer, or annuitization is higher than the base interest rate declared at your allocation to a Fixed Account Option, a downward adjustment to the amount withdrawn, transferred or annuitized may apply, which would reduce the amount paid, transferred or annuitized. If the base interest rate credited to a new Fixed Account Option at the time of withdrawal, transfer, or annuitization is lower than the base interest rate declared at the time of your allocation to a Fixed Account Option, an upward adjustment to the amount withdrawn, transferred or annuitized may apply, which would increase the amount paid, transferred or annuitized. There will be no Market Value Adjustment if the two rates are the same. A Market Value Adjustment will not otherwise affect the values under your Contract.

Moreover, even if the current new business interest rate is greater than the base interest rate for the Fixed Account Option from which the amount is being taken, there will be no Market Value Adjustment if the difference between the two is less than 0.25%. This limitation avoids decreases in the amount paid, transferred, or annuitized in situations where the general level of interest rates has declined but the current new business interest rate nevertheless exceeds the base interest rate for your Fixed Account Option because of the additional 0.25% that (as described above) is added when determining the current new business rate.

Also, there is no Market Value Adjustment on: amounts taken from the one-year Fixed Account Option; death benefit payments; payments pursuant to a life contingent income option or an income option resulting in payments spread over at least five years;

13


amounts withdrawn for Contract charges; amounts removed from any Fixed Account Option on the Latest Income Date and amounts removed from any Fixed Account Option in the 30-day period following the end of a Fixed Account Option. In no event will a total withdrawal, transfer or annuitization from the Fixed Account Options be less than the Fixed Account Minimum Value. In the case of a partial withdrawal or transfer from a Fixed Account Option, your Contract will have been credited with interest on the amount withdrawn or transferred at a rate at least equal to the Fixed Account minimum interest rate, even if subject to a Market Value Adjustment that otherwise would have reduced it below that rate.

The following example illustrates how the Fixed Account Minimum Value may affect a Market Value Adjustment on a full withdrawal. If you allocated $10,000 of your initial Premium to the Fixed Account and your declared rate of interest was 3%, after one year (assuming no other transactions) your Contract Value in the Fixed Account would be $10,265. If the Fixed Account minimum interest rate was 1%, your Fixed Account Minimum Value would be $8,787.50. In this case, a Market Value Adjustment could not reduce the withdrawal by more than $1,477.50 (the difference between your Contract Value in the Fixed Account and the Fixed Account Minimum Value). For example, if you request a full withdrawal (gross amount of $10,265) and it is subject to a $1,000 negative Market Value Adjustment, the withdrawal would be adjusted to $9,265. However, if it were subject to a negative $1,500 Market Value Adjustment, the withdrawal would be adjusted to $8,765($10,265 minus the full $1,500 Market Value Adjustment), so that it does not invade the Fixed Account Minimum Value. Immediately after the latter withdrawal example, there will be no difference between your Contract Value in the Fixed Account and Fixed Account Minimum Value, and no negative Market Value Adjustments will apply on subsequent withdrawals until the Contract Value in the Fixed Account again grows to be larger than the Fixed Account Minimum Value.

End of Fixed Account Option Periods. Whenever a specified period ends, you will have 30 days to transfer or withdraw the Contract Value in the Fixed Account Option, and there will not be a Market Value Adjustment. If you do nothing, then after 30 days, the Contract Value that remains in that Fixed Account Option will be subject to another specified period of the same duration, subject to availability, and provided that that specified period will not extend beyond the Income Date. If such new Fixed Account Option would extend beyond the Income Date, we will use the longest Fixed Account Option that does not extend beyond the Income Date; or (if less than 1 year remains until the Income Date) we will credit interest at the current interest rate under the one-year Fixed Account Option up to the Income Date. If the specified period of the same duration that has ended is no longer available, we will use the next shorter period that is then available.

Additional Information Concerning the One-Year Fixed Account Option. If you allocate Premiums to the one-year Fixed Account Option, we may require that the amount in the one-year Fixed Account Option be automatically transferred on a monthly basis in installments to your choice of Investment Division within 12 months of the date we received the Premium, so that at the end of the period, all amounts in the one-year Fixed Account Option will have been transferred. The amount will be determined based on the amount allocated to the one-year Fixed Account Option and the base interest rate. Charges, withdrawals and additional transfers taken from the one-year Fixed Account Option will shorten the length of time it takes to deplete the account balance. These automatic transfers will not count against the 25 free transfers in a Contract year or any maximum on amounts transferable from the one-year Fixed Account Option that we may impose as described in numbered paragraphs 1-4 under “Transfers and Frequent Transfer Restrictions” later in this prospectus.

Interest will continue to be credited daily on the account balance remaining in the one-year Fixed Account Option as funds are automatically transferred into your choice of Investment Divisions. However, the effective yield over the 12-month automatic transfer period will be less than the base interest rate (or, if applicable, the Fixed Account minimum interest rate), as the applicable rate will be applied to a declining balance in the one-year Fixed Account Option.

Please also refer to “Transfers and Frequent Transfer Restrictions” later in this prospectus for information about certain restrictions, limits and requirements that may apply (or may in the future apply) to transfers to or from the Fixed Account Options. In particular, we describe certain additional restrictions that may apply with respect to transfers from the one-year Fixed Account Option, including the possibility that, you might not be able to transfer all of your Contract Value out of the one-year Fixed Account Option for at least three years. Accordingly, before allocating any Premium payments or other Contract Value to the one year Fixed Account Option, you should consider carefully the conditions we may impose upon your use of that option.

The DCA+ Fixed Account Option, if available, offers a fixed interest rate that we guarantee for a period of up to one year in connection with dollar-cost-averaging transfers to one or more of the Investment Divisions or systematic transfers to other Fixed Account Options. From time to time, we will offer special enhanced rates on the DCA+ Fixed Account Option. DCA+ Fixed Account Option is only available for new Premiums. We provide more information about Dollar Cost Averaging, including DCA+, under “Other Information” later in this prospectus.

THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT

We established the Separate Account on June 14, 1993, pursuant to the provisions of Michigan law. The Separate Account is a separate account under state insurance law and a unit investment trust under federal securities law and is registered as an investment company with the SEC.

We have claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “Commodity Pool Operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) with respect to the Separate Account. Therefore, we are not subject to registration or regulation as a Commodity Pool Operator under the CEA with respect to the Separate Account.

The assets of the Separate Account legally belong to us and the obligations under the Contracts are our obligations. However, we are not allowed to use the Contract assets in the Separate Account to pay our liabilities arising out of any other business we may conduct. All of the income, gains and losses resulting from these assets (whether or not realized) are credited to or charged against the Contracts and not against any other Contracts we may issue.

The Separate Account is divided into Investment Divisions. We do not guarantee the investment performance of the Separate Account or any of its Investment Divisions.

INVESTMENT DIVISIONS

Your Contract Value may be allocated to no more than 99 Investment Divisions and Fixed Account Options at any one time. Each Investment Division purchases the shares of one underlying Fund (mutual fund portfolio) that has its own investment objective. The Investment Divisions are designed to offer the potential for a higher return than the Fixed Account Options. However, this is not guaranteed. It is possible for you to lose your Contract Value allocated to any of the Investment Divisions. If you allocate Contract Values to the Investment Divisions, the amounts you are able to accumulate in your Contract during the accumulation phase depend upon the performance of the Investment Divisions you select. The amount of the income payments you receive during the income phase also will depend, in part, on the performance of the Investment Divisions you choose for the income phase.

This prospectus describes the Investment Divisions that we currently offer under the Contract. Certain broker-dealers selling the Contracts may limit the Investment Divisions that are available to their customers. Please contact your representative for a list of Investment Divisions currently available through your broker-dealer. Investment Divisions that are not available through your broker-dealer may be available through other broker-dealers, but to access them you may need to terminate your relationship with your broker-dealer and provide us with satisfactory evidence of termination. Please consider these potential limitations before purchasing the Contract.

The following Funds in which the Investment Divisions invest are each known as a Fund of Funds. Funds offered in a Fund of Funds structure may have higher expenses than direct investments in the underlying Funds. You should read the summary prospectuses for the Funds and/or the prospectus for the JNL Series Trust for more information.

Important information regarding the Investment Division investing in the JNL/PPM America Small Cap Value Fund:
As of August 13, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), the JNL/PPM America Small Cap Value Investment Division stopped accepting any additional allocations or transfers. If as of the Effective Date you had an automatic program, such as Dollar Cost Averaging, Dollar Cost Averaging Plus, Earnings Sweep, and Rebalancing, and it includes an allocation to the JNL/PPM America Small Cap Value Investment Division, you can continue to include the JNL/PPM America Small Cap Value Investment Division under the program based on your then existing election until you revise or terminate the automatic program.

The JNL/PPM America Small Cap Value Investment Division is not available for any new or revised allocation instructions under any automatic program. If you have allocation instructions for future Premium payments on file with us that include an allocation to the JNL/PPM America Small Cap Value Investment Division, you must choose a replacement Investment Division. If you have not chosen a replacement Investment Division and make a subsequent Premium payment, all such allocations to the JNL/PPM America Small Cap Value Investment Division prior to our receipt of new allocation instructions from you will be allocated to the JNL/WMC Government Money Market Investment Division. Your representative can assist you in subsequently reallocating the Contract Value in the JNL/WMC Government Money Market Investment Division to any other available investment option. Amounts invested in the JNL/PPM America Small Cap Value Investment Division as of the Effective Date will remain invested unless we receive instruction from you.

The investment objectives and policies of certain Funds are similar to the investment objectives and policies of other mutual funds that the Fund’s investment sub-advisers also manage. Although the objectives and policies may be similar, the investment results of the Funds may be higher or lower than the results of those other mutual funds. We cannot guarantee, and make no representation, that the investment results of similar Funds will be comparable even though the Funds have the same investment sub-advisers. The Funds described are available only through variable annuity contracts issued by Jackson. They are NOT offered or made available to the general public directly.

A Fund’s performance may be affected by risks specific to certain types of investments, such as foreign securities, derivative investments, non-investment grade debt securities, initial public offerings (IPOs) or companies with relatively small market capitalizations. IPOs and other investment techniques may have a magnified performance impact on a Fund with a small asset base. A Fund may not experience similar performance as its assets grow.

You should read the summary prospectuses for the Funds and/or the prospectuses for the JNL Series Trust, the JNL Variable Fund LLC, and the Jackson Variable Series Trust carefully before investing. The summary prospectuses for the Funds are attached to this prospectus. The summary prospectuses for the Funds and prospectuses for the JNL Series Trust, the JNL Variable Fund LLC, and the Jackson Variable Series Trust may also be obtained at no charge by calling 1-800-644-4565 (Annuity Service Center), by writing P.O. Box 24068, Lansing, Michigan 48909-4068, or by visiting www.jackson.com. Additional Funds and Investment Divisions may be available in the future.

Voting Privileges. To the extent required by law, we will obtain instructions from you and other Owners about how to vote our shares of a Fund when there is a vote of shareholders of a Fund. We will vote all the shares we own in proportion to those instructions from Owners. An effect of this proportional voting is that a relatively small number of Owners may determine the outcome of a vote.

Substitution. We reserve the right to substitute a different Fund or a different mutual fund for the one in which any Investment Division is currently invested, or transfer money to the General Account. We will not do this without any required approval of the SEC. We will give you notice of any substitution.

CONTRACT CHARGES

There are charges associated with your Contract, the deduction of which will reduce the investment return of your Contract. Charges are generally deducted proportionally from your Contract Value. Some of these charges are for optional endorsements, as noted, so they are deducted from your Contract Value only if you elected to add that optional endorsement to your Contract. These charges may be a lesser amount where required by state law or as described below, but will not be increased. We expect to profit from certain charges assessed under the Contract. If the Contract Value is insufficient to pay the charges under the Contract, the Contract will terminate without value. These charges (and certain other expenses) are as follows:

Core Contract Charge. Each day, as part of our calculation of the value of the Accumulation Units and Annuity Units, we make a deduction for the Core Contract Charge. On an annual basis, this charge equals 0.35% of the average daily net asset value of your allocations to the Investment Divisions. This charge does not apply to the Fixed Account.

This charge is reduced to 0.30% if the Contract Value on the later of the Issue Date or the most recent Contract Quarterly Anniversary is greater than or equal to $1 million. If your Contract Value subsequently drops below $1 million on the most recent Contract Quarterly Anniversary, the charge will be reinstated to 0.35%.


38


This charge compensates us for our expenses associated with administration of the Contracts and the Separate Account, acquisition of business including marketing expenses, risks we assume in connection with the Contracts, and costs associated with providing Contract benefits.

Annual Contract Maintenance Charge. During the accumulation phase, we deduct a $35 annual contract maintenance charge on the Contract Anniversary of the Issue Date. We will also deduct the annual contract maintenance charge if you make a total withdrawal. This charge is for administrative expenses in addition to those covered by the Core Contract Charge. The annual contract maintenance charge will be assessed on the Contract Anniversary or upon full withdrawal and generally is taken from the Investment Divisions and the Fixed Account based on the proportion their respective value bears to the Contract Value. We will not deduct this charge from the Fixed Account Options if the Fixed Account Minimum Value has been reached. We will not deduct this charge if, the value of your Contract is $50,000 or more when the deduction is to be made.

Transfer Charge. We deduct $25 for each transfer in excess of 25 in a Contract Year. For this purpose, all transfers that are processed on the same Business Day will be considered as one transfer. This charge is deducted from the amount that is transferred prior to the allocation to a different Investment Division or the Fixed Account, as applicable. The charge compensates us for the administrative cost associated with the transfers. We waive the transfer charge in connection with Dollar Cost Averaging, Earnings Sweep, Rebalancing transfers and any transfers we require, and we will charge a lesser fee where required by state law.

Death Benefit Charge. There is no additional charge for the Contract’s basic death benefit. However, for an additional charge, you may select the Contract’s available optional death benefit in place of the basic death benefit. Please ask your agent whether there are variations on this benefit in your state or contact our Annuity Service Center. Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.

Return of Premium Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Charge. If you select the Return of Premium Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit, you will pay 0.25% of the Contract Value for this benefit annually (0.0625% each Contract Quarter), subject to a maximum annual charge of 0.50% (0.125% each Contract Quarter). We deduct the charge from your Contract Value. If the Fixed Account Contract Value is greater than the Fixed Account Minimum Value, the quarterly charge will be deducted from your allocations to the Investment Divisions and the Fixed Account Options in the same proportions that the respective allocations bear to your Contract Value until such time that the Fixed Account Contract Value has been reduced to the Fixed Account Minimum Value. If the Fixed Account Contract Value is equal to the Fixed Account Minimum Value, the charge will be deducted only from your allocations to the Investment Divisions. If no value remains in the Investment Divisions and the Fixed Account Contract Value is equal to the Fixed Account Minimum Value, the charge will not be assessed for that Contract Quarter. With the Investment Divisions, we deduct the charge by canceling Accumulation Units rather than as part of the calculation to determine Accumulation Unit Value. Upon termination of the endorsement, the charge is prorated for the period since the last quarterly charge.

On each fifth Contract Anniversary, we reserve the right to increase the charge percentage by 0.05% annually (0.0125% each Contract Quarter), subject to the maximum annual charge noted above. If the GMDB charge is to increase, a notice will be sent to you 45 days prior to the Contract Anniversary. You may then elect to opt out of the current charge increase and any future charge increases. Upon such election, no future Premium payments will be allowed. While electing to discontinue future Premium payments will prevent an increase in charge, you will be foregoing possible increases in your GMDB so carefully consider this decision should we notify you of a charge increase. Such election is final. All elections must be received by us in Good Order prior to the Contract Anniversary.

For more information about how the endorsement works, including this benefit’s GMDB Benefit Base, please see “Return of Premium Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit” under “Optional Death Benefit”, beginning on page 50.

Other Expenses. We pay the operating expenses of the Separate Account, including those not covered by the Core Contract Charge. There are deductions from and expenses paid out of the assets of the Funds. These expenses are described in the attached summary prospectuses for the Funds. For more information, please see the “Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses” table beginning on page 5.

Premium Taxes. Some states and other governmental entities charge Premium taxes or other similar taxes. We pay these taxes and may make a deduction from your Contract Values for them. Premium taxes generally range from 0% to 3.5% (the amount of state Premium tax, if any, will vary from state to state).

Income Taxes. We reserve the right, when calculating unit values, to deduct a credit or charge with respect to any taxes we have paid or reserved for during the valuation period that we determine to be attributable to the operation of the Separate Account, or to a particular Investment Division. No federal income taxes are applicable under present law and we are not presently making any such deduction.

Distributor also serves as distributor of other variable insurance products issued by Jackson and its subsidiary, Jackson National Life Insurance Company of New York (“Jackson of NY”).
 
Distributor is a wholly owned subsidiary of Jackson. Distributor is registered as a broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). Distributor is not a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”). For more information on broker-dealers and their registered representatives, you may use the FINRA BrokerCheck program via telephone (1-800-289-9999) or the Internet (http://brokercheck.finra.org).

The Contracts are offered to customers of various financial institutions, brokerage firms and their affiliate insurance agencies (each a “Financial Institution,” collectively “Financial Institutions”). No Financial Institution has any legal responsibility to pay amounts that are owed under the Contracts. The obligations and guarantees under the Contracts are the sole responsibility of Jackson. The Financial Institutions are responsible for delivery of various related disclosure documents and the accuracy of their oral description and suitable recommendation of the purchase of the Contracts.

No commissions are paid to the Financial Institutions on sales of Jackson Private Wealth Contracts.

Under certain circumstances, the Distributor and/or Jackson may make payments to Financial Institutions in connection with the sale of Jackson and Jackson of NY variable insurance products. These payments and/or reimbursements are in recognition of marketing, distribution, and/or administrative support provided by the Financial Institution and may not be offered to all Financial Institutions. The terms of these arrangements vary widely depending on, among other things, products offered; the level and type of marketing, distribution, and administrative support services provided; assets under management; the volume of sales; and the level of access we are provided to the registered representatives of the Financial Institution. Such payments may influence Financial Institutions and/or their registered representatives to present the Contracts more favorably than other investment alternatives. Such compensation is subject to applicable state insurance law and regulation, FINRA rules of conduct and Department of Labor (“DOL”) rules and regulations. While such compensation may be significant, it will not result in any additional direct charge by us to you.

Under these compensation structures, the Distributor and/or Jackson may make marketing allowance payments and marketing support payments to the Financial Institutions. Marketing allowance payments are payments that are designed as consideration for product placement and distribution, assets under management, and sales volume. Marketing allowance payments are generally based on a fixed percentage of annual product sales and generally range from 10 to 50 basis points (0.10% to 0.50%). Payments may also be based on a percentage of assets under management or paid as a specified dollar amount. Marketing support payments may be in the form of cash and/or non-cash compensation to or on behalf of Financial Institutions and their registered representatives, and are intended to provide us with exposure to registered representatives so that we may build relationships or educate them about product features and benefits. Examples of such payments include, but are not limited to, reimbursements for representative training or “due diligence” meetings (including travel and lodging expenses); client and prospecting events; speaker fees; business development and educational enhancement items (such as software packages containing information for broker use, or prospecting lists); sponsorship payments for participation at conferences and meetings; and other support services, including payments to third party vendors for such services. Payments or reimbursements for meetings and seminars are generally based on the anticipated level of participation and/or accessibility and the size of the audience. Subject to applicable laws and regulations including FINRA rules of conduct and DOL rules and regulations, we may also provide cash and/or non-cash compensation to registered representatives in the form of gifts, promotional items, occasional meals, and entertainment. Registered representatives may qualify for different levels of sales and service support depending on the volume of business that they do with us.

We may use any of our corporate assets to cover the cost of distribution, including any profit from the Contract’s Core Contract Charge and other charges.

The alphabetical listing below details the 20 Financial Institutions that received the largest amounts of marketing allowance payments and/or marketing support payments in 2018 from the Distributor and/or Jackson in relation to the sale of Jackson and Jackson of NY variable insurance products. The total payments received by a Financial Institution is based on sales of all Jackson and Jackson of NY variable insurance products, thus a Financial Institution may appear on the list even if it is not receiving any payments with respect to sales of Jackson Private Wealth Contracts. Payments to these firms ranged from approximately $475 thousand to approximately $20.5 million.

Please see Appendix B for a complete list of Financial Institutions that received amounts of marketing allowance payments and/or marketing support payments in 2018 from the Distributor and/or Jackson in relation to the sale of our variable insurance products. While we endeavor to update this list on an annual basis, please note that interim changes or new arrangements may not be listed and may involve substantial payments on a forward going basis.

Compensation is also paid to employees of the Distributor and/or Jackson who are responsible for providing services to Financial Institutions. These employees are generally referred to as “wholesalers” and may meet with Financial Institutions and/or their registered representatives to provide training and sales support. The compensation paid to the wholesalers may vary based on a number of factors, including Premium payments; types of Contracts or optional benefits (if any) sold by the Financial Institutions that the wholesaler services; wholesaler performance; and overall company performance. The wholesaler may be required to achieve internally-assigned goals related to the same type of factors and may receive bonus payments for the achievement of individual and/or company-wide goals.

The Distributor also has relationships with the sub-advisers to the various underlying Funds and their affiliates. The Distributor receives payments from some sub-advisers to assist in defraying the costs of certain promotional and marketing meetings hosted by the Distributor in which the sub-advisers participate. The amounts paid depend on the nature of the meetings, the number of meetings attended, the costs expected to be incurred and the level of the sub-adviser’s participation. Our affiliated Financial Institutions may have other relationships with the sub-advisers (apart from Jackson) including selling retail mutual funds managed or advised by certain sub-advisers.

All of the compensation described here, and other compensation or benefits provided by the Distributor and/or Jackson or our affiliates, may be greater or less than the total compensation on similar or other products. The amount and/or structure of the compensation can create a conflict of interest as it may influence your Financial Institution and registered representative to present this Contract over other investment alternatives. The variations in compensation, however, may also reflect differences in sales effort or ongoing customer services expected of the Financial Institution and registered representative. You may ask your registered representative about any variations and how he or she and his or her Financial Institution are compensated for selling the Contract.

PURCHASES

Minimum Initial Premium:

$200,000 under most circumstances


41


Minimum Additional Premiums:

$500 for a qualified or non-qualified plan

$50 for an automatic payment plan

You can pay additional Premiums at any time during the accumulation phase unless a specific optional benefit or feature provides limitations.    

These minimums apply to purchases, but do not preclude subsequent partial withdrawals that would reduce Contract Values below the minimum initial purchase amounts. We reserve the right to limit the number of Contracts that you may purchase. We reserve the right, in our discretion, to limit, restrict, suspend or reject any or all initial or subsequent Premium payments and to limit the amount, frequency or timing of Premium payments, at any time on a non-discriminatory basis. Any of these actions by us would limit your ability to invest in the Contract and increase your values and benefits. There is a $100 minimum balance requirement for each Investment Division and Fixed Account. We reserve the right to restrict availability or impose restrictions on the Fixed Account.

Tax-qualified Contracts are subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations on contributions which may limit the amount of your Premium payments.

Maximum Premiums:

The maximum aggregate Premiums you may make without our prior approval is $2.5 million.

The payment of subsequent Premiums, depending on market conditions at the time they are made, may or may not contribute to the various benefits under your Contract, including the optional death benefit. Our right to restrict Premiums to a lesser maximum amount may also affect the benefits under your Contract.

Allocations of Premium. You may allocate your Premiums to one or more of the Investment Divisions and Fixed Account. Each allocation must be a whole percentage between 0% and 100%. The minimum amount you may allocate to the Investment Division or a Fixed Account is $100. We will allocate any additional Premiums you pay in the same way unless you instruct us otherwise.

You may not allocate your Contract Values among more than 99 Investment Divisions and Fixed Account Options at any one time.

We will issue your Contract and allocate your first Premium within two Business Days (days when the New York Stock Exchange is open) after we receive your first Premium and all information that we require for the purchase of a Contract. If we do not receive all of the information that we require, we will contact you to get the necessary information. If for some reason we are unable to complete this process within five Business Days, we will return your money. Subsequent Premiums are allocated on the Business Day that the Premium is received. Each Business Day ends when the New York Stock Exchange closes (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time).

Capital Protection Program. If you select our Capital Protection Program at issue, we will allocate enough of your Premium to the Fixed Account you select to assure that the amount so allocated will equal, at the end of a selected period of 1, 3, 5, or 7 years, your total original Premium paid. You may allocate the rest of your Premium to any Investment Division(s). If any part of the Fixed Account value is withdrawn or transferred before the end of the selected period, the value at the end of that period will not equal the original Premium. This program is available only if Fixed Account Options are available. There is no charge for the Capital Protection Program. You should consult your Jackson representative with respect to the current availability of Fixed Account Options, their limitations, and the availability of the Capital Protection Program.

For an example of capital protection, assume you made a Premium payment of $10,000 when the interest rate for the seven-year period was 3% per year. We would allocate $8,131 to that period because $8,131 would increase at that interest rate to $10,000 after seven years, assuming no withdrawals are taken. The remaining $1,869 of the payment would be allocated to the Investment Division(s) you selected.

Shorter specified periods require allocation of substantially all your Premium to achieve the intended result. In any case, the results will depend on the interest rate declared for the specified period. Please note, the interest rate used in the above example is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to reflect the current interest rate for the specified period of this duration.


42


Accumulation Units. Your Contract Value allocated to the Investment Divisions will go up or down depending on the performance of the Investment Divisions you select. In order to keep track of the value of your Contract during the accumulation phase, we use a unit of measure called an “Accumulation Unit.” During the income phase we use a measure called an “Annuity Unit.”

Every Business Day, we determine the value of an Accumulation Unit for each of the Investment Divisions by:

determining the total amount of assets held in the particular Investment Division;

subtracting any asset-based charges and taxes chargeable under the Contract; and

dividing this amount by the number of outstanding Accumulation Units.

Charges deducted through the cancellation of units are not reflected in this computation.

The value of an Accumulation Unit may go up or down from day to day based on the performance of the Funds, expenses, and deduction of Contract charges. The Contract has a different Accumulation Unit value depending on whether you are paying a full or reduced Core Contract Charge.

When you make a Premium payment, we credit your Contract with Accumulation Units. The number of Accumulation Units we credit is determined at the close of that Business Day by dividing the amount of the Premium allocated to any Investment Division by the value of the Accumulation Unit for that Investment Division that reflects the combination of optional endorsements you have elected and their respective charges. If your Premium payment is received after the close of the New York Stock Exchange, the number of Accumulation Units credited will be determined at the end of the next Business Day.

In connection with arrangements we have to transact business electronically, we may have agreements in place whereby the time when certain broker-dealers receive your initial Premium payment and all required information in Good Order will be used for initial pricing of your Contract values.  However, if we do not have an agreement with a broker-dealer providing for these pricing procedures, initial Premium payments received by the broker-dealer will not be priced until they are received by us. As of the date of this prospectus, we have such an agreement with Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC and SBHU Life Agency.  Please check with your financial representative to determine if his/her broker-dealer has an agreement with the Company that provides for these pricing procedures.

TRANSFERS AND FREQUENT TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS

You may transfer your Contract Value between and among the Investment Divisions at any time, unless transfers are subject to other limitations, but transfers between an Investment Division and the Fixed Account must occur prior to the Income Date.

You can make 25 transfers every Contract Year without charge.

A transfer will be effective as of the end of the Business Day when we receive your transfer request in Good Order, and we will disclaim all liability for transfers made based on your transfer instructions, or the instructions of a third party authorized to submit transfer requests on your behalf.

Transfers from the Fixed Account generally will be subject to any applicable Market Value Adjustment.

Potential Limits and Conditions on Fixed Account Transfers. There may be periods when we do not offer any Fixed Account. We can prohibit or impose limitations or other requirements on transfers to or from the Fixed Account as permitted by applicable law.

We also specifically reserve the right to impose the limitations and conditions set forth in 1-4 below with respect to the one-year Fixed Account Option. Although we are not imposing these restrictions as of the date of this prospectus, if we do decide to impose them, they could provide as follows with respect to both new and already outstanding Contracts:

1. During any Contract Year, the aggregate dollar amount of all transfers from the one-year Fixed Account Option (including transfers at the end of the one-year period) could not exceed whichever of the following three maximums apply to you for that year:
 
Maximum transfers during the first Contract Year in which you have Contract Value in the one-year Fixed Account Option subject to these restrictions: 1/3 of your Contract Value in the one-year Fixed Account Option as of the most recent Contract Anniversary;

43


Maximum transfers during any subsequent Contract Year, if you had Contract Value subject to these restrictions during the preceding Contract year:
1/3 of your Contract Value in the one-year Fixed Account Option as of the most recent Contract Anniversary if you did not make a 1/3 transfer in the preceding year as mentioned above or
1/2 of your Contract Value in the one-year Fixed Account Option as of the most recent Contract Anniversary if you did make such a 1/3 transfer in the preceding year; or
Maximum transfers during any Contract Year, if you had Contract Value subject to these restrictions during both of the preceding two Contract Years and, in those years, you made the 1/3 maximum transfer in the first year and 1/2 maximum transfer in the second year as mentioned above: all of your remaining Contract Value in the one-year Fixed Account Option.

2. We could require that any transfer from the one-year Fixed Account Option in a Contract Year occur at least twelve months after the most recent such transfer in the previous Contract Year.

3. We could restrict or prohibit your transfers into or allocations of any additional Premiums to the one-year Fixed Account Option in any Contract Year in which you make a transfer from the one-year Fixed Account Option.

4. We could restrict or prohibit your transfers from the one-year Fixed Account Option in any Contract Year in which you make a transfer into or allocate any additional Premiums to the one-year Fixed Account Option.

We may impose restrictions 1-4 separately or in combination but we expect that they would be imposed as a group, so that you would be subject to all of these restrictions if you are subject to any of them.

Certain systematic investment programs could be excluded from the restrictions listed in 1-4 above, such that transfers under those programs would not count against the maximum amounts that may be transferred out of the one-year Fixed Account Option and the Contract Value under such programs would be excluded from the computation of such maximum amounts.

We also could permit or require that a systematic transfer program be used to make transfers from any Fixed Account Options. For example, you could be permitted to have the three transfers that are referred to in restriction 1 above automated through a systematic transfer out (“STO”) on each of your next three Contract Anniversaries. The amount automatically transferred on each of such three Contract Anniversaries would be the maximum amount that would be permitted to be transferred on that date under restriction 1, such that following the automatic STO transfer on the third such Contract Anniversary you would no longer have any Contract Value in the one-year Fixed Account Option. If we establish such an STO for you, however, we would (pursuant to restrictions 3 and 4 above) prohibit you from making any other transfer from, or any Premium payments or transfers into, the one-year Fixed Account Option during any Contract Year in which an automatic STO transfer is made for you. Also (pursuant to restriction 2 above) you could elect such an STO only if (i) at least twelve calendar months have passed since your last STO program (if any) had ended and (ii) during the Contract Year in which you make the election, you have not made any transfers from, or any Premium payments or transfers into the one-year Fixed Account Option (unless you made the transfer or Premium payment before the time we had instituted restrictions 1-4). Transfers pursuant to any STO would not count toward your 25 free transfer limit.

If we require you to commence an STO at a time when, due to any of the foregoing restrictions, you would not be eligible to elect such a program, the three annual STO transfers will be delayed. In that case, the first such STO transfer would occur on the first Contract Anniversary after you are eligible to elect an STO.

If we impose the restrictions described in 1-4 above, we would provide you prompt written notice of that fact, as well as any requirement or option to commence an STO. In that case, the restrictions would be effective immediately and we would not expect to provide you with an opportunity to make transfers from the one-year Fixed Account Option, other than in compliance with and subject to the limitations in such restrictions. Accordingly, you should consider whether you are willing to be subject to those limitations before you allocate any Premiums or transfers to the one-year Fixed Account Option.

We also may restrict your participation in any systematic investment program if you allocate any amounts to a Fixed Account Option.

Restrictions on Transfers: Market Timing. The Contract is not designed for frequent transfers by anyone. Frequent transfers between and among Investment Divisions may disrupt the underlying Funds and could negatively impact performance, by interfering with efficient management and reducing long-term returns, and increasing administrative costs. Frequent transfers may also dilute the value of shares of an underlying Fund. Neither the Contracts nor the underlying Funds are meant to promote any active trading strategy, like market timing. Allowing frequent transfers by one or some Owners could be at the expense of other Owners of the Contract. To protect Owners and the underlying Funds, we have policies and procedures to deter frequent transfers between and among the Investment Divisions.


44


Under these policies and procedures, there is a $25 charge per transfer after 25 in a Contract Year, and no round trip transfers are allowed within 15 calendar days. Also, we could restrict your ability to make transfers to or from one or more of the Investment Divisions, which possible restrictions may include, but are not limited to:

limiting the number of transfers over a period of time;

requiring a minimum time period between each transfer;

limiting transfer requests from an agent acting on behalf of one or more Owners or under a power of attorney on behalf of one or more Owners; or

limiting the dollar amount that you may transfer at any one time.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, we reserve the right to restrict the number of transfers per year that you can request and to restrict you from making transfers on consecutive Business Days. In addition, your right to make transfers between and among Investment Divisions may be modified if we determine that the exercise by one or more Owners is, or would be, to the disadvantage of other Owners.

We continuously monitor transfers under the Contract for disruptive activity based on frequency, pattern and size. We will more closely monitor Contracts with disruptive activity, placing them on a watch list, and if the disruptive activity continues, we will restrict the availability of electronic or telephonic means to make a transfer, instead requiring that transfer instructions be mailed through regular U.S. postal service, and/or terminate the ability to make transfers completely, as necessary. If we terminate your ability to make transfers, you may need to make a partial withdrawal to access the Contract Value in the Investment Division(s) from which you sought a transfer. We will notify you and your representative in writing within five days of placing the Contract on a watch list.

Regarding round trip transfers, we will allow redemptions from an Investment Division; however, once a complete or partial redemption has been made from an Investment Division through an Investment Division transfer, you will not be permitted to transfer any value back into that Investment Division within 15 calendar days of the redemption. We will treat as short-term trading activity any transfer that is requested into an Investment Division that was previously redeemed within the previous 15 calendar days, whether the transfer was requested by you or a third party.

Our policies and procedures do not apply to the money market Investment Division, the Fixed Account, Dollar Cost Averaging, Earnings Sweep or the Automatic Rebalancing program. We may also make exceptions that involve an administrative error, or a personal unanticipated financial emergency of an Owner resulting from an identified health, employment, or other financial or personal event that makes the existing allocation imprudent or a hardship. These limited exceptions will be granted by an oversight team pursuant to procedures designed to result in their consistent application. Please contact our Annuity Service Center if you believe your transfer request entails a financial emergency.

Otherwise, we do not exempt any person or class of persons from our policies and procedures. We have agreements allowing for asset allocation and investment advisory services that are not only subject to our policies and procedures, but also to additional conditions and limitations, intended to limit the potential adverse impact of these activities on other Owners of the Contract. We expect to apply our policies and procedures uniformly, but because detection and deterrence involves judgments that are inherently subjective, we cannot guarantee that we will detect and deter every Contract engaging in frequent transfers every time. If these policies and procedures are ineffective, the adverse consequences described above could occur. We also expect to apply our policies and procedures in a manner reasonably designed to prevent transfers that we consider to be to the disadvantage of other Owners, and we may take whatever action we deem appropriate, without prior notice, to comply with or take advantage of any state or federal regulatory requirement.

TELEPHONE AND INTERNET TRANSACTIONS

The Basics. You can request certain transactions by telephone or at www.jackson.com, our Internet website, subject to our right to terminate electronic or telephonic transfer privileges described above. Our Annuity Service Center representatives are available during business hours to provide you with information about your account. We require that you provide proper identification before performing transactions over the telephone or through our Internet website. For Internet transactions, this will include a Personal Identification Number (PIN). You may establish or change your PIN at www.jackson.com.

What You Can Do and How. You may make transfers by telephone or through the Internet if you elect to have this privilege. Any authorization you (and any joint Owner) provide to us in an application, at our website, or through other means will authorize us to accept transaction instructions, including Investment Division transfers/allocations, by you, a joint Owner, or your financial

45


representative unless you notify us to the contrary. To notify us, please call us at the Annuity Service Center. Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus and the number is referenced in your Contract or on your quarterly statement. We reserve the right to discontinue this privilege or implement additional limitations.

What You Can Do and When. When authorizing a transfer, you must complete your telephone call by the close of the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) in order to receive that day’s Accumulation Unit value for an Investment Division.

Transfer instructions you send electronically are considered to be received by us at the time and date stated on the electronic acknowledgement we return to you. If the time and date indicated on the acknowledgement is before the close of the New York Stock Exchange, the instructions will be carried out that day. Otherwise the instructions will be carried out the next Business Day. We will retain permanent records of all web-based transactions by confirmation number. If you do not receive an electronic acknowledgement, you should telephone our Annuity Service Center immediately.

How to Cancel a Transaction. You may only cancel an earlier telephonic or electronic transfer request made on the same day by calling the Annuity Service Center before the New York Stock Exchange closes. Otherwise, your cancellation instruction will not be allowed because of the round trip transfer restriction.

Our Procedures. Our procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that telephone or any other electronic authorizations are genuine. Our procedures include requesting identifying information and tape-recording telephone communications and other specific details. We and our affiliates disclaim all liability for any claim, loss or expense resulting from any alleged error or mistake in connection with a transaction requested by telephone or other electronic means that you did not authorize. However, if we fail to employ reasonable procedures to ensure that all requested transactions are properly authorized, we may be held liable for such losses.

We do not guarantee access to telephonic and electronic information or that we will be able to accept transaction instructions via the telephone or electronic means at all times. We also reserve the right to modify, limit, restrict, or discontinue at any time and without notice the acceptance of instruction from someone other than you and/or this telephonic and electronic transaction privilege. Elections of any optional benefit or program must be in writing and will be effective upon receipt of the request in Good Order.

Upon notification of the Owner’s death, any telephone transfer authorization, other than by the surviving joint Owners, designated by the Owner ceases and we will not allow such transactions unless the executor/representative provides written authorization for a person or persons to act on the executor’s/representative’s behalf.

ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY

You can have access to the money in your Contract:

by making either a partial or full withdrawal,

by electing the Systematic Withdrawal Program, or

by electing to receive income payments.

Your Beneficiary can have access to the money in your Contract when a death benefit is paid.

When you make a full withdrawal you will receive the value of your Contract as of the end of the Business Day your request is received by us in Good Order, minus any applicable taxes, the annual contract maintenance charge, and charges due under any optional endorsement, adjusted for any applicable Market Value Adjustment. We will pay the withdrawal proceeds within seven days of a request in Good Order. If a Premium payment made by personal check or electronic draft is received within the five days preceding a withdrawal request, we may delay payment of the withdrawal proceeds up to seven days after the date of the request, to ensure the check or electronic draft is not returned due to insufficient funds.

Your withdrawal request must be in writing. We will accept withdrawal requests submitted via facsimile. There are risks associated with not requiring original signatures in order to disburse the money. To minimize the risks, the proceeds will be sent to your last recorded address in our records, so be sure to notify us, in writing, with an original signature of any address change. We do not assume responsibility for improper disbursements if you have failed to provide us with the current address to which the proceeds should be sent.


46


Except in connection with the Systematic Withdrawal Program, you must withdraw at least $500 or, if less, the entire amount in the Fixed Account Option or Investment Division from which you are making the withdrawal. If you are not specific in your withdrawal request, your withdrawal will be taken from your allocations to the Investment Divisions and Fixed Account Options based on the proportion their respective values bear to the Contract Value.

With the Systematic Withdrawal Program, you may withdraw a specified dollar amount of at least $50 per withdrawal. After your withdrawal, at least $100 must remain in each Fixed Account Option or Investment Division from which the withdrawal was taken. A withdrawal request that would reduce the remaining Contract Value to less than $100 will be treated as a request for a complete withdrawal. In addition, any withdrawal request that would reduce the remaining Contract Value to less than $2,000 will be treated as a request for a complete withdrawal.

Income taxes, tax penalties and certain restrictions may apply to any withdrawal you make. There are limitations on withdrawals from qualified plans. For more information, please see “TAXES” beginning on page 52.

Systematic Withdrawal Program. You can arrange to have money automatically sent to you periodically while your Contract is still in the accumulation phase. You may withdraw a specified dollar amount of at least $50 per withdrawal. Your withdrawals may be on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. There is no charge for the Systematic Withdrawal Program; however, you will have to pay taxes on the money you receive. You may also be subject to a Market Value Adjustment.

Suspension of Withdrawals or Transfers. We may be required to suspend or delay withdrawals or transfers to or from an Investment Division when:

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

under applicable SEC rules, trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted;

under applicable SEC rules, an emergency exists so that it is not reasonably practicable to dispose of securities in an Investment Division or determine the value of its assets; or

the SEC, by order, may permit for the protection of Contract Owners.

We have reserved the right to defer payment for a withdrawal or transfer from the Fixed Account for up to six months or the period permitted by law.

INCOME PAYMENTS (THE INCOME PHASE)

The income phase of your Contract occurs when you begin receiving regular income payments from us. The Income Date is the day those payments begin. Once income payments begin, the Contract cannot be returned to the accumulation phase. You can choose the Income Date and an income option. All of the Contract Value must be annuitized. The income options are described below.

If you do not choose an income option, we will assume that you selected option 3, which provides a life annuity with 120 months of guaranteed payments.

You can change the Income Date or income option at least seven days before the Income Date, but changes to the Income Date may only be to a later date. You must give us written notice at least seven days before the scheduled Income Date. Income payments must begin by the Contract Anniversary on or next following your 95th birthday under a non-qualified Contract, or by such earlier date as required by the applicable qualified plan, law or regulation.

Under a traditional Individual Retirement Annuity, required minimum distributions must begin in the calendar year in which you attain age 70 1/2 (or such other age as required by law). Distributions under qualified plans and Tax-Sheltered Annuities must begin by the later of the calendar year in which you attain age 70 1/2 or the calendar year in which you retire. You do not necessarily have to annuitize your Contract to meet the minimum distribution requirements for Individual Retirement Annuities, qualified plans, and Tax-Sheltered Annuities. Distributions from Roth IRAs are not required prior to your death.

At the Income Date, you can choose to receive fixed payments or variable payments based on the Investment Divisions. If you do not choose how to receive your income payments, your income payments will be based on the variable and fixed options that were in place on the Income Date.


47


You can choose to have income payments made monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually. Or you can choose a single lump-sum payment. If you have less than $2,000 to apply toward an income option and state law permits, we may provide your payment in a single lump sum, part of which may be taxable as Federal Income. Likewise, if your first income payment would be less than $20 and state law permits, we may set the frequency of payments so that the first payment would be at least $20.

Fixed Income Payments. If you choose to receive fixed payments, the amount of each income payment will be determined by applying the portion of your Contract Value allocated to fixed payments, less any applicable Premium taxes and charges, to the rates in the annuity tables contained in the Contract applicable to the income option chosen. If the current annuity rates provided by us on contracts of this type would be more favorable to you, the current rates will be used.

Variable Income Payments. If you choose to have any portion of your income payments based upon one or more Investment Divisions, the dollar amount of your initial annuity payment will depend primarily upon the following:

the amount of your Contract Value you allocate to the Investment Division(s) on the Income Date;

the amount of any applicable Premium taxes, and any Market Value Adjustment deducted from your Contract Value on the Income Date;

which income option you select; and

the investment factors listed in your Contract that translate the amount of your Contract Value (as adjusted for applicable charges, frequency of payment and commencement date) into initial payment amounts that are measured by the number of Annuity Units of the Investment Division(s) you select credited to your Contract.

The investment factors in your Contract are calculated based upon a variety of factors, including an assumed investment rate of 1% and, if you select an income option with a life contingency, the age and sex of the Annuitant. State variations may apply.

If the actual net investment rate experienced by an Investment Division exceeds the assumed net investment rate, variable annuity payments will increase over time. Conversely, if the actual net investment rate is less than the assumed net investment rate, variable annuity payments will decrease over time. If the actual net investment rate equals the assumed net investment rate, the variable annuity payments will remain constant.

We calculate the dollar amount of subsequent income payments that you receive based upon the performance of the Investment Divisions you select. If that performance (measured by changes in the value of Annuity Units) exceeds the assumed investment rate, then your income payments will increase; if that performance is less than the assumed investment rate, then your income payments will decrease. Neither expenses actually incurred (other than taxes on investment return), nor mortality actually experienced, will adversely affect the dollar amount of subsequent income payments.

Income Options. The Annuitant is the person whose life we look to when we make income payments (each description assumes that you are the Owner and Annuitant). The following income options may not be available in all states. Each income option is available as fixed payments or variable payments.

Option 1 - Life Income. This income option provides monthly payments for your life. No further payments are payable after your death. Thus, it is possible for you to receive only one payment if you died prior to the date the second payment was due. If you die after the Income Date but before the first monthly payment, the amount allocated to the income option will be paid to your Beneficiary.

Option 2 - Joint and Survivor. This income option provides monthly payments for your life and for the life of another person (usually your spouse) selected by you. Upon the death of either person, the monthly payments will continue during the lifetime of the survivor. No further payments are payable after the death of the survivor. If you and the person who is the joint life both die after the Income Date but before the first monthly payment, the amount allocated to the income option will be paid to your Beneficiary.

Option 3 - Life Annuity With at Least 120 or 240 Monthly Payments. This income option provides monthly payments for the Annuitant’s life, but with payments continuing to the Beneficiary for the remainder of 10 or 20 years (as you select) if the Annuitant dies before the end of the selected period. If the Beneficiary does not want to receive the remaining scheduled payments, a single lump sum may be requested, which will be equal to the present value of the remaining payments (as of the date of calculation) discounted at an interest rate that will be equal to the rate used to calculate the initial payment.

48



Option 4 - Income for a Specified Period. This income option provides monthly payments for any number of years from 5 to 30. If the Beneficiary does not want to receive the remaining scheduled payments, a single lump sum may be requested, which will be equal to the present value of the remaining payments (as of the date of calculation) discounted at an interest rate that will be equal to the rate used to calculate the initial payment.

Additional Options - We may make other income options available.

No withdrawals are permitted during the income phase under an income option that is life contingent.

DEATH BENEFIT

The Contract has a basic death benefit which is payable during the accumulation phase. Instead you may choose an optional death benefit for an additional charge, availability of which may vary by state. For more information about the availability of the optional death benefit in your state, please see the application, check with the registered representative helping you to purchase the Contract or contact us at our Annuity Service Center. Our contact information is on the first page of this prospectus. The optional death benefit is only available at the time you apply for a Contract. In addition, once the optional death benefit is chosen, it cannot be canceled.

No death benefit will be paid in the event the Contract Value falls to zero.

The death benefit paid to the Beneficiary is calculated as of the date we receive all required documentation in Good Order which includes, but is not limited to, due proof of death and a completed claim form from the Beneficiary of record (if there are multiple beneficiaries, we will calculate the death benefit when we receive this documentation from the first Beneficiary). Payment will include interest to the extent required by law. The death benefit paid will be the basic death benefit unless you have selected the optional death benefit endorsement. If you have a guaranteed minimum death benefit, the amount by which the guaranteed minimum death benefit exceeds the account value will be put into your account as of the date we receive all required documentation from the Beneficiary of record and will be allocated among the Investment Divisions and Fixed Account according to the current allocation instructions on file for your account as of that date. Each Beneficiary will receive their portion of the remaining value, subject to market fluctuations, when their option election form is received in Good Order at our Service Center.

Basic Death Benefit. The basic death benefit is payable during the accumulation phase. The basic death benefit equals your Contract Value on the date we receive all required documentation from your Beneficiary.

If the Owner dies during the accumulation phase, the person you have chosen as Beneficiary will receive a basic death benefit. If the Owner is a non-natural person, the death of the Annuitant will be treated as the death of the Owner. If you have a joint Owner, the death benefit will be paid when the first joint Owner dies. The surviving joint Owner will be treated as the Beneficiary. Any other Beneficiary designated will be treated as a contingent Beneficiary. Only a spousal Beneficiary has the right to continue the Contract in force upon your death.

Optional Death Benefit. An optional death benefit is available which is designed to protect your Contract Value from potentially poor investment performance and the impact that poor investment performance could have on the amount of the basic death benefit. Because there is an additional annual charge for this optional death benefit, and because you cannot change your selection, please be sure that you have read about and understand the Contract’s basic death benefit before selecting an optional death benefit. The optional death benefit is available if you are 85 years of age or younger on the Contract’s Issue Date. The older you are at the time of selection, the less advantageous it would be for you to select the optional death benefit. The optional death benefit is subject to our administrative rules to assure appropriate use, which administrative rules may be changed, as necessary.

Depending on when and in what state you applied for the Contract: the availability of the optional death benefit may have been different; how an optional death benefit is calculated varies; and we may have referred to an optional death benefit by a different name – all as noted below.

For purposes of the optional death benefit, “Net Premiums” are defined as your Premium payments net of Premium taxes, reduced by any withdrawals (including applicable charges and deductions) at the time of the withdrawal in the same proportion that the Contract Value was reduced on the date of the withdrawal. Accordingly, if a withdrawal were to reduce the Contract Value by 50%, for example, Net Premiums would also be reduced by 50%.

Following are the calculations for the optional death benefit.


49


Return of Premium Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit (“Return of Premium GMDB”), changes your basic death benefit during the accumulation phase of your Contract to the greater of:

(a)
your Contract Value as of the end of the Business Day on which we receive all required documentation from your Beneficiary; or

(b)
all Premiums paid into the Contract (net of any applicable premium taxes and charges), reduced for withdrawals (including any applicable adjustments for such withdrawals) in proportion to the reduction in the Contract Value at the time of the withdrawal.

The Return of Premium GMDB Benefit Base will be determined at the end of any Business Day, and is equal to all Premiums (net of any applicable Premium tax) paid into the Contract, reduced by any withdrawals (including any applicable adjustments for such withdrawals). All adjustments will occur at the time of the withdrawal or Premium payment and all adjustments for amounts withdrawn reduce the death benefit in the same proportion that the Contract Value was reduced on the date of the withdrawal. Withdrawals may prematurely reduce the value of this Return of Premium Death Benefit.

On each fifth Contract Anniversary, the GMDB charge may be increased. If you elect to opt out of the current charge increase and any future charge increases at the time an increase is announced, Premium payments subsequent to such election will not be allowed. For more information, please see “Death Benefit Charge”.

Please note that if you elect this endorsement, ownership changes are allowed, but Covered Lives cannot be changed. Under this GMDB, the original Owner and any joint Owner are the Covered Lives. If the Owner is a non-natural person, the Annuitant (and any joint Annuitant) named at election of the GMDB is a Covered Life.

Unlike the basic death benefit, this optional death benefit may provide value on or after the Income Date, which is the date on which you begin receiving annuity payments. If the Income Date is before the Latest Income Date, then this optional death benefit endorsement terminates and no death benefit is payable. However, if the Income Date is on the Latest Income Date, then the death benefit amount is equal to:

(a)
the GMDB Benefit Base on the Latest Income Date; less

(b)
the Contract Value on the Latest Income Date.

If there is a death benefit amount on or after the Income Date, it will be payable to the Beneficiary when due proof of any Covered Life’s death is received by the Company in Good Order. If the Covered Life is not deceased as of the date that the final annuity payment under the elected income option is due, the death benefit amount will be payable in a lump sum to the Owner along with the final annuity payment.

Payout Options. The basic death benefit and the optional death benefit can be paid under one of the following payout options:

single lump-sum payment; or

payment of entire death benefit within 5 years of the date of death; or

payment of the entire death benefit under an income option over the Beneficiary’s lifetime or for a period not extending beyond the Beneficiary’s life expectancy; or payment of a portion of the death benefit under an income option over the Beneficiary’s lifetime or for a period not extending beyond the Beneficiary’s life expectancy, with the balance of the death benefit payable to the Beneficiary. Any portion of the death benefit not applied under an income option within one year of the Owner’s death, however, must be paid within five years of the date of the Owner’s death; or

the Beneficiary may elect to receive distribution of the entire death benefit in a series of systematic withdrawals, beginning within one year of the date of death, over a period not extending beyond the Beneficiary’s life expectancy. The distributions must satisfy the minimum distribution requirements resulting from the death of the Owner as defined by the Internal Revenue Code and the implementing regulations. Upon the Beneficiary’s death, under a tax-qualified Contract, the designated beneficiary may elect to continue such distributions or take a lump-sum distribution of the Contract Value. Under a non-qualified

50


Contract, the designated beneficiary will receive a lump-sum distribution of the Contract Value.

Under these payout options, the Beneficiary may also elect to receive additional lump sums at any time. The receipt of any additional lump sums will reduce the future income payments to the Beneficiary.

If the Beneficiary elects to receive the death benefit as an income option, the Beneficiary must make that payout option election within 60 days of the date we receive proof of death and payments of the death benefit must begin within one year of the date of death. If the Beneficiary chooses to receive some or all of the death benefit in a single sum and all the necessary requirements are met, we will pay the death benefit within seven days. If your Beneficiary is your spouse, he/she may elect to continue the Contract, at the current Contract Value, in his/her own name. If no payout option is selected, the entire death benefit will be paid within 5 years of the Owner’s date of death. The death benefit will remain invested in the Investment Divisions in accordance with the allocation instructions given by the Owner until a payout option is selected, or new instructions are received from the Beneficiary after the claim is processed. For more information, please see “Spousal Continuation Option” below.

Pre-Selected Payout Options. As Owner, you may also make a predetermined selection of the death benefit payout option if your death occurs before the Income Date. However, at the time of your death, we may modify the death benefit option if the death benefit you selected exceeds the life expectancy of the Beneficiary. If this Pre-selected Death Benefit Option Election is in force at the time of your death, the payment of the death benefit may not be postponed, nor can the Contract be continued under any other provisions of this Contract. This restriction applies even if the Beneficiary is your spouse, unless such restriction is prohibited by the Internal Revenue Code. If the Beneficiary does not submit the required documentation for the death benefit to us within one year of your death, however, the death benefit must be paid, in a single lump sum, within five years of your death. The Pre-selected Death Benefit Option may not be available in your state.

Spousal Continuation Option. If your spouse is the Beneficiary and elects to continue the Contract in his or her own name after your death, pursuant to the Spousal Continuation Option, no death benefit will be paid at that time. Instead, except as described below, we will contribute to the Contract a continuation adjustment, which is the amount by which the death benefit that would have been payable exceeds the Contract Value. We calculate the continuation adjustment amount using the Contract Value and death benefit as of the date we receive completed forms and due proof of death from the Beneficiary of record and the spousal Beneficiary’s written request to continue the Contract (the “Continuation Date”). We will add this amount to the Contract based on the current allocation instructions at the time of your death, subject to any minimum allocation restrictions, unless we receive other allocation instructions from your spouse. The Spousal Continuation Option may not be available in your state. See your financial advisor for information regarding the availability of the Spousal Continuation Option.

If your spouse continues the Contract in his/her own name under the Spousal Continuation Option, the new Contract Value will be considered the initial Premium for purposes of determining any future death benefit under the Contract. The age of the surviving spouse at the time of the continuation of the Contract will be used to determine all benefits under the Contract prospectively, so the death benefit may be at a different level.

Any optional Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit will terminate upon the death of the Owner.

The Spousal Continuation Option is available to elect one time on the Contract. However, if you have elected the Pre-selected Death Benefit Option the Contract cannot be continued under the Spousal Continuation Option, unless preventing continuation would be prohibited by the Internal Revenue Code. The Pre-selected Death Benefit Option may not be available in your state.

Death of Owner On or After the Income Date. If you or a joint Owner dies, and is not the Annuitant, on or after the Income Date, any remaining payments under the income option elected will continue at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect at the date of death. If you die, the Beneficiary becomes the Owner. If the joint Owner dies, the surviving joint Owner, if any, will be the designated Beneficiary. Any other Beneficiary designation on record at the time of death will be treated as a contingent Beneficiary. A contingent Beneficiary is entitled to receive payment only after the Beneficiary dies.

Death of Annuitant. If the Annuitant is not an Owner or joint Owner and dies before the Income Date, you can name a new Annuitant, subject to our underwriting rules. If you do not name a new Annuitant within 30 days of the death of the Annuitant, you will become the Annuitant. However, if the Owner is a non-natural person (for example, a trust), then the death of the Annuitant will be treated as the death of the Owner, and a new Annuitant may not be named.

If the Annuitant dies on or after the Income Date, any remaining guaranteed payment will be paid to the Beneficiary as provided for in the income option selected. Any remaining guaranteed payment will be paid at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect at the Annuitant’s death.

51


Stretch Contracts. The beneficiary of death benefit proceeds from another company’s non-qualified annuity contract or tax-qualified annuity contract or plan, may use the death benefit proceeds to purchase a Contract (“Stretch Contract”) from us. The beneficiary of the prior contract or plan (“Beneficial Owner”) must begin taking distributions, or must have begun taking distributions under the prior contract or plan, within one year of the decedent’s death. The distributions must be taken over a period not to exceed the life expectancy of the Beneficial Owner, and the distributions must satisfy the minimum distribution requirements resulting from the decedent’s death as defined by the Internal Revenue Code and implementing regulations. (See “Non-Qualified Contracts – Required Distributions” on page 53.) Upon the Beneficial Owner’s death, under a tax-qualified Stretch Contract, the designated beneficiary may elect to continue such distributions or take a lump-sum distribution of the Contract Value. Upon the Beneficial Owner’s death, under a non-qualified Stretch Contract, the Stretch Contract terminates, and the designated beneficiary will receive a lump-sum distribution of the Contract Value. Withdrawals in excess of the minimum distribution requirements may be taken at any time. Non-qualified Stretch Contracts may not be available in all states.

The rights of Beneficial Owners are limited to those applicable to the distribution of the death benefit proceeds. Optional benefits are not available.

Special requirements apply to non-qualified Stretch Contracts. All Premium payments must be received in the form of a full or partial 1035 exchange of the death benefit proceeds from a non-qualified annuity contract and other forms of Premium payments are not permitted. Joint ownership is not permitted. The Beneficial Owner may not annuitize the Stretch Contract. The Stretch Contract terminates upon the Beneficial Owner’s death, and we will pay the Contract Value to the Beneficial Owner’s beneficiary(ies) in a lump-sum distribution. Please read the Contract and accompanying endorsement carefully for more information about these and other requirements.

TAXES

The following is only general information and is not intended as tax advice to any individual. Additional tax information is included in the Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”). You should consult your own tax advisor as to how these general rules will apply to you if you purchase a Contract.

CONTRACT OWNER TAXATION

Tax-Qualified and Non-Qualified Contracts. If you purchase your Contract as a part of a tax-qualified plan such as an Individual Retirement Annuity (IRA), Tax-Sheltered Annuity (sometimes referred to as a 403(b) Contract), or pension or profit-sharing plan (including a 401(k) Plan or H.R. 10 Plan) your Contract will be what is referred to as a tax-qualified contract. Tax deferral under a tax-qualified contract arises under the specific provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (Code) governing the tax-qualified plan, so a tax-qualified contract should be purchased only for the features and benefits other than tax deferral that are available under a tax-qualified contract, and not for the purpose of obtaining tax deferral. You should consult your own advisor regarding these features and benefits of the Contract prior to purchasing a tax-qualified contract.

If you do not purchase your Contract as a part of any tax-qualified pension plan, specially sponsored program or an individual retirement annuity, your Contract will be what is referred to as a non-qualified contract.

The amount of your tax liability on the earnings under and the amounts received from either a tax-qualified or a non-qualified Contract will vary depending on the specific tax rules applicable to your Contract and your particular circumstances.

Non-Qualified Contracts – General Taxation. Increases in the value of a non-qualified Contract attributable to undistributed earnings are generally not taxable to the Contract Owner or the Annuitant until a distribution (either a withdrawal, or an income payment) is made from the Contract. This tax deferral is generally not available under a non-qualified Contract owned by a non-natural person (e.g., a corporation or certain other entities other than a trust holding the Contract as an agent for a natural person). Loans based on a non-qualified Contract are treated as distributions.

Non-Qualified Contracts – Aggregation of Contracts. For purposes of determining the taxability of a distribution, the Code provides that all non-qualified contracts issued by us (or an affiliate) to you during any calendar year must be treated as one annuity contract. Additional rules may be promulgated under this Code provision to prevent avoidance of its effect through the ownership of serial contracts or otherwise.

Non-Qualified Contracts – Withdrawals and Income Payments. Any withdrawal from a non-qualified Contract is taxable as ordinary income to the extent it does not exceed the accumulated earnings under the Contract. In contrast, a part of each income payment under a non-qualified Contract is generally treated as a non-taxable return of Premium. The balance of each income payment is taxable as ordinary income. The amounts of the taxable and non-taxable portions of each income payment are determined

52


based on the amount of the investment in the Contract and the length of the period over which income payments are to be made. Income payments received after all of your investment in the Contract is recovered are fully taxable as ordinary income. Additional information is provided in the SAI.

The Code also imposes a 10% penalty on certain taxable amounts received under a non-qualified Contract. This penalty tax will not apply to any amounts:

paid on or after the date you reach age 59 1/2;

paid to your Beneficiary after you die;

paid if you become totally disabled (as that term is defined in the Code);

paid in a series of substantially equal periodic payments made annually (or more frequently) for your life (or life expectancy) or for a period not exceeding the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of you and your Beneficiary;

paid under an immediate annuity; or

which come from Premiums made prior to August 14, 1982.

Beginning in 2013, the taxable portion of distributions from a non-qualified annuity Contract will be considered investment income for purposes of the new Medicare tax on investment income. As a result, a 3.8% tax will generally apply to some or all of the taxable portion of distributions to individuals whose modified adjusted gross income exceeds certain threshold amounts. These levels are $200,000 in the case of single taxpayers, $250,000 in the case of married taxpayers filing joint returns, and $125,000 in the case of married taxpayers filing separately. Owners should consult their own tax advisors for more information.

Non-Qualified Contracts – Required Distributions. In order to be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes, the Code requires any nonqualified contract issued after January 18, 1985 to provide that (a) if an owner dies on or after the annuity starting date but prior to the time the entire interest in the contract has been distributed, the remaining portion of such interest will be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used as of the date of that owner’s death; and (b) if an owner dies prior to the annuity starting date, the entire interest in the contract must be distributed within five years after the date of the owner’s death.

The requirements of (b) above can be considered satisfied if any portion of the Owner’s interest which is payable to or for the benefit of a “designated beneficiary” is distributed over the life of such beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of that beneficiary and such distributions begin within one year of that Owner’s death. The Owner’s “designated beneficiary,” who must be a natural person, is the person designated by such Owner as a Beneficiary and to whom ownership of the Contract passes by reason of death. However, if the Owner’s “designated beneficiary” is the surviving spouse of the Owner, the contract may be continued with the surviving spouse as the new Owner.

Non-Qualified Contracts - 1035 Exchanges. Under Section 1035 of the Code, you can purchase a variable annuity contract through a tax-free exchange of another annuity contract, or a life insurance or endowment contract. For the exchange to be tax-free under Section 1035, the owner and annuitant must be the same under the original annuity contract and the Contract issued to you in the exchange. If the original contract is a life insurance contract or endowment contract, the owner and the insured on the original contract must be the same as the owner and annuitant on the Contract issued to you in the exchange. Under certain circumstances, partial withdrawals may be treated as a tax-free “partial 1035 exchange” (please see the SAI for more information).

Tax-Qualified Contracts – Withdrawals and Income Payments. The Code imposes limits on loans, withdrawals, and income payments under tax-qualified Contracts. The Code also imposes required minimum distributions for tax-qualified Contracts and a 10% penalty on certain taxable amounts received prematurely under a tax-qualified Contract. These limits, required minimum distributions, tax penalties and the tax computation rules are summarized in the SAI. Any withdrawals under a tax-qualified Contract will be taxable except to the extent they are allocable to an investment in the Contract (any after-tax contributions). In most cases, there will be little or no investment in the Contract for a tax-qualified Contract because contributions will have been made on a pre-tax or tax-deductible basis.

Withdrawals – Tax-Sheltered Annuities. The Code limits the withdrawal of amounts attributable to Premium payments made under a salary reduction agreement from Tax-Sheltered Annuities. Withdrawals can only be made when an Owner:


53


reaches age 59 1/2;

leaves his/her job;

dies;

becomes disabled (as that term is defined in the Code); or

experiences hardship. However, in the case of hardship, the Owner can only withdraw the Premium and not any earnings.

Withdrawals – Roth IRAs. Subject to certain limitations, individuals may also purchase a type of non-deductible IRA annuity known as a Roth IRA annuity. Qualified distributions from Roth IRA annuities are entirely federal income tax free. A qualified distribution requires that the individual has held the Roth IRA annuity for at least five years and, in addition, that the distribution is made either after the individual reaches age 59 1/2, on account of the individual’s death or disability, or as a qualified first-time home purchase, subject to $10,000 lifetime maximum, for the individual, or for a spouse, child, grandchild or ancestor.
  
Death Benefits. None of the death benefits paid under the Contract to the Beneficiary will be tax-exempt life insurance benefits. The rules governing the taxation of payments from an annuity Contract, as discussed above, generally apply to the payment of death benefits and depend on whether the death benefits are paid as a lump sum or as annuity payments. Estate or gift taxes may also apply.

IRS Approval. The Contract and all death benefit riders attached thereto have been approved by the IRS for use as an Individual Retirement Annuity prototype.

Assignment. An assignment of your Contract will generally be a taxable event. Assignments of a tax-qualified Contract may also be limited by the Code and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. These limits are summarized in the SAI. You should consult your tax advisor prior to making any assignment of your Contract.

Diversification. The Code provides that the underlying investments for a non-qualified variable annuity must satisfy certain diversification requirements in order to be treated as an annuity Contract. We believe that the underlying investments are being managed so as to comply with these requirements. A fuller discussion of the diversification requirements is contained in the SAI.

Owner Control. In a Revenue Ruling issued in 2003, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) considered certain variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts and held that the types of actual and potential control that the Contract Owners could exercise over the investment assets held by the insurance company under these variable contracts was not sufficient to cause the Contract Owners to be treated as the owners of those assets and thus to be subject to current income tax on the income and gains produced by those assets. Under the Contract, like the contracts described in the Revenue Ruling, there will be no arrangement, plan, contract or agreement between the Contract Owner and Jackson regarding the availability of a particular investment option and other than the Contract Owner’s right to allocate Premiums and transfer funds among the available sub-accounts, all investment decisions concerning the sub-accounts will be made by the insurance company or an adviser in its sole and absolute discretion.

The Contract will differ from the contracts described in the Revenue Ruling, in two respects. The first difference is that the contract in the Revenue Ruling provided only 12 investment options with the insurance company having the ability to add an additional 8 options whereas a Contract currently offers 144 Investment Divisions and at least one Fixed Account Option, and, if more than 99 options are offered, a Contract Owner’s Contract Value can be allocated to no more than 99 variable and fixed options at any one time. The second difference is that the owner of a contract in the Revenue Ruling could only make one transfer per 30-day period without a fee whereas during the accumulation phase, a Contract Owner will be permitted to make up to 25 transfers in any one year without a charge.

The Revenue Ruling states that whether the owner of a variable contract is to be treated as the owner of the assets held by the insurance company under the contract will depend on all of the facts and circumstances. Jackson does not believe that the differences between the Contract and the contracts described in the Revenue Ruling with respect to the number of investment choices and the number of investment transfers that can be made under the contract without an additional charge should prevent the holding in the Revenue Ruling from applying to the Owner of a Contract. At this time, however, it cannot be determined whether additional guidance will be provided by the IRS on this issue and what standards may be contained in such guidance. We reserve the right to modify the Contract to the extent required to maintain favorable tax treatment.


54


Withholding. In general, the income portion of distributions from a Contract are subject to 10% federal income tax withholding and the income portion of income payments are subject to withholding at the same rate as wages unless you elect not to have tax withheld. Some states have enacted similar rules. Different rules may apply to payments delivered outside the United States.

Eligible rollover distributions from a Contract issued under certain types of tax-qualified plans will be subject to federal tax withholding at a mandatory 20% rate unless the distribution is made as a direct rollover to a tax-qualified plan or to an individual retirement account or annuity.

The Code generally allows the rollover of most distributions to and from tax-qualified plans, tax-sheltered annuities, Individual Retirement Annuities and eligible deferred compensation plans of state or local governments. Distributions which may not be rolled over are those which are:

(a)
one of a series of substantially equal annual (or more frequent) payments made (a) over the life or life expectancy of the employee, (b) the joint lives or joint life expectancies of the employee and the employee’s beneficiary, or (c) for a specified period of ten years or more;

(b)
a required minimum distribution; or

(c)
a hardship withdrawal.

JACKSON TAXATION

We will pay company income taxes on the taxable corporate earnings created by this separate account product adjusted for various permissible deductions and certain tax benefits discussed below. While we may consider company income tax liabilities and tax benefits when pricing our products, we do not currently include our income tax liabilities in the charges you pay under the Contract. We will periodically review the issue of charging for these taxes and may impose a charge in the future.

In calculating our corporate income tax liability, we derive certain corporate income tax benefits associated with the investment of company assets, including separate account assets that are treated as company assets under applicable income tax law. These benefits reduce our overall corporate income tax liability. Under current law, such benefits may include dividends received deductions and foreign tax credits which can be material. We do not pass these benefits through to the separate accounts, principally because: (i) the great bulk of the benefits results from the dividends received deduction, which involves no reduction in the dollar amount of dividends that the separate account receives; (ii) product owners are not the owners of the assets generating the benefits under applicable income tax law; and (iii) we do not currently include company income taxes in the charges owners pay under the products.

OTHER INFORMATION

Dollar Cost Averaging. You can arrange to have a dollar amount or percentage of money periodically transferred automatically into the Investment Divisions and other Fixed Account Options (if currently available) (each a “Designated Option”) from the one-year Fixed Account Option or any of the Investment Divisions (each a “Source Option”). If we impose any transfer restrictions on the one-year Fixed Account Option as discussed in numbered paragraphs 1-4 under “Transfers and Frequent Transfer Restrictions,” then (i) the one-year Fixed Account Option can be used as a Source Option for Dollar Cost Averaging only with respect to new Premiums that are allocated to that Source Option, (ii) only a twelve-month Dollar Cost Averaging period may be selected, (iii) transfers out of the one-year Fixed Account Option pursuant to such Dollar Cost Averaging will not count against the maximum amount limitations we have imposed on transfers out of the one-year Fixed Account Option and (iv) transfers from that Source Option other than such scheduled transfers will not be permitted.

To the extent that Fixed Account Options are not available or are otherwise restricted from being a Dollar Cost Averaging Source Option or Designated Option, Dollar Cost Averaging will be exclusively from or to the Investment Divisions. In the case of transfers from the one-year Fixed Account Option or Investment Divisions with a less volatile unit value to the Investment Divisions, Dollar Cost Averaging can let you pay a lower average cost per unit over time than you would receive if you made a one-time purchase. Transfers from the more volatile Investment Divisions may not result in lower average costs and such Investment Divisions may not be an appropriate source of dollar cost averaging transfers in volatile markets.

There is no charge for Dollar Cost Averaging. You may cancel your Dollar Cost Averaging program using whatever methods you use to change your allocation instructions. You should consult with your Jackson representative with respect to the current availability of Dollar Cost Averaging. Certain restrictions may apply.


55


Dollar Cost Averaging Plus (DCA+). The DCA+ Fixed Account Option is a “source account” designed for dollar cost averaging transfers to Investment Divisions or systematic transfers to other Fixed Account Options. A Contract Value of $15,000 is required to participate. From time to time, we will offer special enhanced interest rates on the DCA+ Fixed Account Option. If a DCA+ Fixed Account Option is selected, monies in the DCA+ Fixed Account Option will be systematically transferred to the Investment Divisions or other Fixed Account Options chosen over a DCA+ term of either twelve months or six months, as you select.

Transfers out of the DCA+ Fixed Account Option other than the automatic DCA+ transfers can be made only if you discontinue use of the DCA+ Fixed Account Option. If we impose any transfer restrictions on the one-year Fixed Account Option as discussed in numbered paragraphs 1-4 under “Transfers and Frequent Transfer Restrictions,” then (i) you may not discontinue the DCA+ Fixed Account Option or otherwise transfer or withdraw any amounts from the DCA+ Fixed Account Option, but (ii) automatic transfers pursuant to DCA+ will not count against any maximum amount limitations we have imposed on transfers out of the one-year Fixed Account Option.

There is no charge for DCA+. You may cancel your DCA+ program using whatever methods you use to change your allocation instructions. You should consult your Jackson representative with respect to the current availability of the Fixed Account Options and the availability of DCA+. Certain restrictions may apply.

Earnings Sweep. You can choose to move your earnings from the source accounts (only applicable from the one-year Fixed Account Option, if currently available, and the Money Market Investment Division). Earnings Sweep may only be added within 30 days of the issue date of your Contract.

There is no charge for Earnings Sweep. You may cancel your Earnings Sweep program using whatever methods you use to change your allocation instructions. You should consult with your Jackson representative with respect to the current availability of Earnings Sweep. Certain restrictions may apply.

Rebalancing. You can arrange to have us automatically reallocate your Contract Value among Investment Divisions and the one-year Fixed Account Option (if currently available) periodically to maintain your selected allocation percentages. Rebalancing will terminate if your rebalancing program includes the one-year Fixed Account Option and (i) we impose any transfer restrictions on the one-year Fixed Account Option as discussed in numbered paragraphs 1-4 under “Transfers and Frequent Transfer Restrictions” or (ii) we exercise our right to require that any Premiums allocated to the one-year Fixed Account Option be automatically transferred out of that option over a period of time that we specify. In that case, however, you could re-elect automatic rebalancing without the one-year Fixed Account Option. Rebalancing is consistent with maintaining your allocation of investments among market segments, although it is accomplished by reducing your Contract Value allocated to the better performing Investment Divisions.

There is no charge for Rebalancing. You may cancel your Rebalancing program using whatever methods you use to change your allocation instructions. You should consult with your Jackson representative with respect to the current availability of Rebalancing. Certain restrictions may apply.

Free Look. You may return your Contract to the selling agent or us within ten days (or longer if required by your state) after receiving it. We will return

Premiums paid to the Fixed Account, plus

the Separate Account Contract Value, plus

any fees (other than asset-based fees) and expenses deducted from the Premiums.

We will determine the Contract Value in the Investment Divisions as of the date we receive the Contract (subject to state variations). We will return Premium payments where required by law. We will pay the applicable free look proceeds within seven days of a request in Good Order. If a Premium payment made by personal check or electronic draft is received within the five days preceding a free look request, we may delay payment of the free look proceeds up to seven days after the date of the request, to ensure the check or electronic draft is not returned due to insufficient funds. In some states, we are required to hold the Premiums of a senior citizen in the Fixed Account during the free look period, unless we are specifically directed to allocate the Premiums to the Investment Divisions. State laws vary; your free look rights will depend on the laws of the state in which you purchased the Contract.

Advertising. From time to time, we may advertise several types of performance of the Investment Divisions.

Total return is the overall change in the value of an investment in an Investment Division over a given period of time.

56



Standardized average annual total return is calculated in accordance with SEC guidelines.

Non-standardized total return may be for periods other than those required by, or may otherwise differ from, standardized average annual total return. For example, if a Fund has been in existence longer than the Investment Division, we may show non-standardized performance for periods that begin on the inception date of the Fund, rather than the inception date of the Investment Division.

Yield refers to the income generated by an investment over a given period of time.

Performance will be calculated by determining the percentage change in the value of an Accumulation Unit by dividing the increase (decrease) for that unit by the value of the Accumulation Unit at the beginning of the period. Performance will reflect the deduction of the Core Contract Charge and may reflect the deduction of the annual contract maintenance, but will not reflect charges for optional features except in performance data used in sales materials that promote those optional features. The deduction of charges for optional features would reduce the percentage increase or make greater any percentage decrease.
  
Modification of Your Contract. Only our President, Vice President, Secretary or Assistant Secretary may approve a change to or waive a provision of your Contract. Any change or waiver must be in writing. We may change the terms of your Contract without your consent in order to comply with changes in applicable law, or otherwise as we deem necessary.

Confirmation of Transactions. We will send you a written statement confirming that a financial transaction, such as a Premium payment, withdrawal, or transfer has been completed.

APPENDIX C

ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUES

The tables reflect the values of Accumulation Units for each Investment Division for the beginning and end of the periods indicated, and the number of Accumulation Units outstanding as of the end of the periods indicated – for a base Contract (with Administration Charge waiver and no optional benefits) and for a Contract with the most expensive combination of charges and optional benefits. The tables do not provide partial year information. The tables provide values of Accumulation Units and the number of Accumulation Units outstanding only if that information is available throughout the period. Where values of Accumulation Units and the number of Accumulation Units outstanding are unavailable, either because of a partial year or a Fund not being offered, a “N/A” is provided.

Contact the Annuity Service Center (contact information is on the cover page of the prospectus) to ask about the more timely Accumulation Unit values that are available for each Investment Division.

Services

Jackson keeps the assets of the Separate Account. Jackson holds all cash of the Separate Account and attends to the collection of proceeds of shares of the underlying Funds bought and sold by the Separate Account.

The financial statements of each Investment Division within Jackson National Separate Account - I and Jackson National Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries for the periods indicated have been included herein in reliance upon the reports of KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, appearing elsewhere herein, and upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing. KPMG LLP is located at 191 W. Nationwide Blvd., Suite 500, Columbus, Ohio 43215 .

Jackson is the parent of Jackson National Asset Management, LLC (“JNAM”), the Funds’ investment adviser and administrator. Pursuant to an agreement between Jackson and JNAM, JNAM provides certain administrative services with respect to the Separate Account, including separate account administration services and financial and accounting services. For the past three years, Jackson paid $501,239 in 2016, $491,607 in 2017, and $502,230 in 2018 for the services provided by JNAM to Jackson.

Purchase of Securities Being Offered

The Contracts will be sold by licensed insurance agents in states where the Contracts may be lawfully sold. The agents will be registered representatives of broker-dealers that are registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).

Underwriters

The Contracts are offered continuously and are distributed by Jackson National Life Distributors LLC (JNLD), 300 Innovation Drive, Franklin, Tennessee 37067. JNLD is a subsidiary of Jackson.

No commissions are paid to broker/dealers selling the contracts.

Calculation of Performance

When Jackson advertises performance for an Investment Division (except the JNL/WMC Government Money Market Division), we will include quotations of standardized average annual total return to facilitate comparison with standardized average annual total return advertised by other variable annuity separate accounts. Standardized average annual total return for an Investment Division will be shown for periods beginning on the date the Investment Division first invested in the corresponding Funds. We will calculate standardized average annual total return according to the standard methods prescribed by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

7



Standardized average annual total return for a specific period is calculated by taking a hypothetical $1,000 investment in an Investment Division at the offering on the first day of the period (“initial investment”) and computing the average annual compounded rate of return for the period that would equate the initial investment with the ending redeemable value (“redeemable value”) of that investment at the end of the period, carried to at least the nearest hundredth of a percent. Standardized average annual total return reflects the deduction of all recurring charges that are charged to all Contracts. The redeemable value also reflects the effect of any applicable withdrawal charge or other charge that may be imposed at the end of the period. No deduction is made for premium taxes that may be assessed by certain states.

Jackson may also advertise non-standardized total return on an annualized and cumulative basis. Non-standardized total return may be for periods other than those required to be presented or may otherwise differ from standardized average annual total return. Non-standardized total return may also assume a larger initial investment that more closely approximates the size of a typical Contract.

Standardized average annual total return quotations will be current to the last day of the calendar quarter preceding the date on which an advertisement is submitted for publication. Both standardized average annual total return quotations and non-standardized total return quotations will be based on rolling calendar quarters and will cover at least periods of one, five, and ten years, or a period covering the time the Investment Division has been in existence, if it has not been in existence for one of the prescribed periods.

Quotations of standardized average annual total return and non-standardized total return are based upon historical earnings and will fluctuate. Any quotation of performance should not be considered a guarantee of future performance. Factors affecting the performance of an Investment Division and its corresponding Fund include general market conditions, operating expenses and investment management. An owner’s withdrawal value upon surrender of a Contract may be more or less than its original cost.

Jackson may advertise the current annualized yield for a 30-day period for an Investment Division. The annualized yield of an Investment Division refers to the income generated by the Investment Division over a specified 30-day period. Because this yield is annualized, the yield generated by an Investment Division during the 30-day period is assumed to be generated each 30-day period. The yield is computed by dividing the net investment income per accumulation unit earned during the period by the price per unit on the last day of the period, according to the following formula:

saigraphica44.jpg

Where:

a
=
net investment income earned during the period by the Fund attributable to shares owned by the Investment Division.
b
=
expenses for the Investment Division accrued for the period (net of reimbursements).
c
=
the average daily number of accumulation units outstanding during the period.
d
=
the maximum offering price per accumulation unit on the last day of the period.

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

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

Any current yield quotations of the JNL/WMC Government Money Market Division will consist of a seven calendar day historical yield, carried at least to the nearest hundredth of a percent. We may advertise yield for the Division based on different time periods, but we will accompany it with a yield quotation based on a seven calendar day period. The JNL/WMC Government Money Market Division’s yield will be calculated by determining the net change, exclusive of capital changes, in the value of a hypothetical pre-existing account having a balance of one accumulation unit at the beginning of the base period, subtracting a hypothetical charge

8


reflecting deductions from Contracts, and dividing the net change in account value by the value of the account at the beginning of the period to obtain a base period return and multiplying the base period return by (365/7). The JNL/WMC Government Money Market Division’s effective yield is computed similarly but includes the effect of assumed compounding on an annualized basis of the current yield quotations of the Division.

The JNL/WMC Government Money Market Division’s and effective yield will fluctuate daily. Actual yields will depend on factors such as the type of instruments in the Fund’s portfolio, portfolio quality and average maturity, changes in interest rates, and the Fund’s expenses. Although the Investment Division determines its yield on the basis of a seven calendar day period, it may use a different time period on occasion. The yield quotes may reflect the expense limitations described in the Fund’s Prospectus or Statement of Additional Information. There is no assurance that the yields quoted on any given occasion will be maintained for any period of time and there is no guarantee that the net asset values will remain constant. It should be noted that neither a Contract owner’s investment in the JNL/WMC Government Money Market Division nor that Division’s investment in the JNL/WMC Government Money Market Division is guaranteed or insured. Yields of other money market Funds may not be comparable if a different base or another method of calculation is used.

Additional Tax Information

NOTE: INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN SHOULD NOT BE SUBSTITUTED FOR THE ADVICE OF A PERSONAL TAX ADVISOR. JACKSON DOES NOT MAKE ANY GUARANTEE REGARDING THE TAX STATUS OF ANY CONTRACT OR ANY TRANSACTION INVOLVING THE CONTRACTS. PURCHASERS BEAR THE COMPLETE RISK THAT THE CONTRACTS MAY NOT BE TREATED AS “ANNUITY CONTRACTS” UNDER FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS. IT SHOULD BE FURTHER UNDERSTOOD THAT THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS NOT EXHAUSTIVE AND THAT OTHER SPECIAL RULES MAY BE APPLICABLE IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS. MOREOVER, NO ATTEMPT HAS BEEN MADE TO CONSIDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE OR OTHER TAX LAWS OR TO COMPARE THE TAX TREATMENT OF THE CONTRACTS TO THE TAX TREATMENT OF ANY OTHER INVESTMENT.

Jackson’s Tax Status

Jackson is taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). For federal income tax purposes, the Separate Account is not a separate entity from Jackson and its operations form a part of Jackson.

Taxation of Annuity Contracts in General

Section 72 of the Code governs the taxation of annuities in general. An individual owner is not taxed on increases in the value of a Contract until distribution occurs, either in the form of a withdrawal or as annuity payments under the annuity option elected. For a withdrawal received as a total surrender (total redemption or a death benefit), the recipient is taxed on the portion of the payment that exceeds the cost basis of the Contract. For a payment received as a partial withdrawal from a non-qualified Contract, federal tax liability is generally determined on a last-in, first-out basis, meaning taxable income is withdrawn before the cost basis of the Contract is withdrawn. In the case of a partial withdrawal under a tax-qualified Contract, a ratable portion of the amount received is taxable. For Contracts issued in connection with non-qualified plans, the cost basis is generally the premiums, while for Contracts issued in connection with tax-qualified plans there may be no cost basis. The taxable portion of a withdrawal is taxed at ordinary income tax rates. Tax penalties may also apply.

For annuity payments, a portion of each payment in excess of an exclusion amount is includable in taxable income. All annuity payments in excess of the exclusion amount are fully taxable at ordinary income rates.

The exclusion amount for payments based on a fixed annuity option is determined by multiplying the payment by the ratio that the cost basis of the Contract (adjusted for any period certain or refund feature) bears to the expected return under the Contract. The exclusion amount for payments based on a variable annuity option is determined by dividing the cost basis of the Contract (adjusted for any period certain or refund guarantee) by the fixed or estimated number of years for which annuity payments are to be made. No exclusion is allowed with respect to any payments received after the investment in the Contract has been recovered (i.e., when the total of the excludable amounts equals the investment in the Contract). For certain types of tax-qualified plans there may be no cost basis in the Contract within the meaning of Section 72 of the Code.

Owners, annuitants and beneficiaries under the Contracts should seek competent financial advice about the tax consequences of distributions.

Medicare Tax on Net Investment Income

Beginning in 2013, the taxable portion of distributions from a non-qualified annuity Contract will be considered investment income for purposes of the new Medicare tax on investment income. As a result, a 3.8% tax will generally apply to some or all of the taxable portion of distributions to individuals whose modified adjusted gross income exceeds certain threshold amounts. These levels are $200,000 in the case of single taxpayers, $250,000 in the case of married taxpayers filing joint returns, and $125,000 in the case of married taxpayers filing separately. Owners should consult their own tax advisors for more information.

Withholding Tax on Distributions

The Code generally requires Jackson (or, in some cases, a plan administrator) to withhold tax on the taxable portion of any distribution or withdrawal from a Contract. For “eligible rollover distributions” from Contracts issued under certain types of tax-qualified plans, 20% of the distribution must be withheld, unless the payee elects to have the distribution “rolled over” to another eligible plan in a direct transfer. This requirement is mandatory and cannot be waived by the owner.

An “eligible rollover distribution” is the taxable portion of any amount received by a covered employee from a plan qualified under Section 401(a) or 403(a) of the Code, from a tax sheltered annuity qualified under Section 403(b) of the Code or an eligible deferred compensation plan of a state or local government under Section 457(b) of the Code (other than (1) a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) for the life (or life expectancy) of the employee, or joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the employee, and his or her designated beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more; (2) minimum distributions required to be made under the Code; and (3) hardship withdrawals). Failure to “roll over” the entire amount of an eligible rollover distribution (including the amount equal to the 20% portion of the distribution that was withheld) could have adverse tax consequences, including the imposition of a penalty tax on premature withdrawals, described later in this section.

Withdrawals or distributions from a Contract other than eligible rollover distributions are also subject to withholding on the taxable portion of the distribution, but the owner may elect in such cases to waive the withholding requirement. If not waived, withholding is imposed (1) for periodic payments, at the rate that would be imposed if the payments were wages, or (2) for other distributions, at the rate of 10%. If no withholding exemption certificate is in effect for the payee, the rate under (1) above is computed by treating the payee as a married individual claiming three withholding exemptions.

Generally, the amount of any payment of interest to a non-resident alien of the United States shall be subject to withholding of a tax equal to 30% of such amount or, if applicable, a lower treaty rate. A payment may not be subject to withholding where the recipient sufficiently establishes that such payment is effectively connected to the recipient’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States and such payment is included in the recipient’s gross income.

Diversification -- Separate Account Investments

Section 817(h) of the Code imposes certain asset diversification standards on variable annuity Contracts. The Code provides that a variable annuity Contract will not be treated as an annuity Contract for any period (and any subsequent period) for which the investments held in any segregated asset account underlying the Contract are not adequately diversified, in accordance with regulations prescribed by the United States Treasury Department (“Treasury Department”). Disqualification of the Contract as an annuity Contract would result in imposition of federal income tax to the owner with respect to earnings allocable to the Contract prior to the receipt of payments under the Contract. The Code contains a safe harbor provision which provides that annuity Contracts, such as the Contracts, meet the diversification requirements if, as of the last day of each calendar quarter, or within 30 days after such last day, the underlying assets meet the diversification standards for a regulated investment company and no more than 55% of the total assets consist of cash, cash items, U.S. government securities and securities of other regulated investment companies.

The Treasury Department has issued Regulations establishing diversification requirements for the mutual Funds underlying variable Contracts. These Regulations amplify the diversification requirements for variable Contracts set forth in the Code and provide an alternative to the safe harbor provision described above. Under these Regulations, a mutual Fund will be deemed adequately diversified if (1) no more than 55% of the value of the total assets of the mutual Fund is represented by any one investment; (2) no more than 70% of the value of the total assets of the mutual Fund is represented by any two investments; (3) no more than 80% of the value of the total assets of the mutual Fund is represented by any three investments; and (4) no more than 90% of the value of the total assets of the mutual Fund is represented by any four investments.

Jackson intends that each Fund of the JNL Series Trust, JNL Variable Fund LLC, and Jackson Variable Series Trust will be managed by its respective investment adviser in such a manner as to comply with these diversification requirements.

At the time the Treasury Department issued the diversification Regulations, it did not provide guidance regarding the circumstances under which Contract owner control of the investments of a segregated asset account would cause the Contract owner to be treated as the owner

10


of the assets of the segregated asset account. Revenue Ruling 2003-91 provides such guidance by describing the circumstances under which the owner of a variable contract will not possess sufficient control over the assets underlying the contract to be treated as the owner of those assets for federal income tax purposes.

Rev. Rul. 2003-91 considered certain variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts and held that the types of actual and potential control that the contract owners could exercise over the investment assets held by the insurance company under these variable contracts was not sufficient to cause the contract owners to be treated as the owners of those assets and thus to be subject to current income tax on the income and gains produced by those assets. Under the contracts in Rev. Rul. 2003-91 there was no arrangement, plan, contract or agreement between the contract owner and the insurance company regarding the availability of a particular investment option and other than the contract owner’s right to allocate premiums and transfer funds among the available sub-accounts, all investment decisions concerning the sub-accounts were made by the insurance company or an advisor in its sole and absolute discretion. Twelve investment options were available under the contracts in Rev. Rul. 2003-91 although the insurance company had the right to increase (but to no more than 20) or decrease the number of sub-accounts at any time. The contract owner was permitted to transfer amounts among the various investment options without limitation, subject to incurring fees for more than one transfer per 30-day period.

Like the contracts described in Rev. Rul. 2003-91, under the Contract there will be no arrangement, plan, contract or agreement between a Contract owner and Jackson regarding the availability of a particular Allocation Option and other than the Contract owner’s right to allocate premiums and transfer funds among the available Allocation Options, all investment decisions concerning the Allocation Options will be made by Jackson or an advisor in its sole and absolute discretion. The Contract will differ from the contracts described in Rev. Rul. 2003-91 in two respects. The first difference is that the contracts described in Rev. Rul. 2003-91 provided only 12 investment options with the insurance company having the ability to add an additional 8 options whereas the Contract currently offers 144 Investment Divisions and at least one Fixed Account option, and, if more than 99 options offered, a Contract owner’s Contract Value can be allocated to no more than 99 variable and fixed options at any one time. The second difference is that the owner of a contract in Rev. Rul. 2003-91 could only make one transfer per 30-day period without a fee whereas during the accumulation phase, a Contract owner can make 25 transfers in any one year without a charge.

Rev. Rul. 2003-91 states that whether the owner of a variable contract is to be treated as the owner of the assets held by the insurance company under the contract will depend on all of the facts and circumstances. Jackson does not believe that the differences between the Contract and the contracts described in Rev. Rul. 2003-91 with respect to the number of investment choices and the number of investment transfers that can be made under the Contract without an additional charge should prevent the holding in Rev. Rul. 2003-91 from applying to the owner of a Contract. At this time, however, it cannot be determined whether additional guidance will be provided by the IRS on this issue and what standards may be contained in such guidance. Jackson reserves the right to modify the Contract to the extent required to maintain favorable tax treatment.

Multiple Contracts

The Code provides that multiple non-qualified annuity Contracts that are issued within a calendar year to the same Contract owner by one company or its affiliates are treated as one annuity Contract for purposes of determining the tax consequences of any distribution. Such treatment may result in adverse tax consequences including more rapid taxation of the distributed amounts from such multiple Contracts. For purposes of this rule, Contracts received in a Section 1035 exchange will be considered issued in the year of the exchange. Owners should consult a tax advisor prior to purchasing more than one annuity Contract in any calendar year.

Partial 1035 Exchanges

In accordance with Revenue Procedure 2011-38, the IRS will consider a partial exchange of an annuity Contract for another annuity Contract valid if there is either no withdrawal from, or surrender of, either the surviving annuity contract or the new annuity contract within 180 days of the date of the partial exchange. Revenue Procedure 2011-38 also provides certain exceptions to the 180 day rule. Due to the complexity of these rules, owners are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors prior to entering into a partial exchange of an annuity Contract.

Contracts Owned by Other Than Natural Persons

Under Section 72(u) of the Code, the investment earnings on premiums for Contracts will be taxed currently to the owner if the owner is a non-natural person, e.g., a corporation or certain other entities. Such Contracts generally will not be treated as annuities for federal income tax purposes (except for the taxation of life insurance companies). However, this treatment is not applied to Contracts held by a trust or other entity as an agent for a natural person nor to Contracts held by certain tax-qualified plans. Purchasers should consult their own tax counsel or other tax advisor before purchasing a Contract to be owned by a non-natural person.


11


Tax Treatment of Assignments

An assignment or pledge of a Contract may have tax consequences. Any assignment or pledge of a tax-qualified Contract may also be prohibited by ERISA in some circumstances. Owners should, therefore, consult competent legal advisers should they wish to assign or pledge their Contracts.

An assignment or pledge of all or any portion of the value of a Non-Qualified Contract is treated under Section 72 of the Code as an amount not received as an annuity. The value of the Contract assigned or pledged that exceeds the aggregate premiums paid will be included in the individual’s gross income. In addition, the amount included in the individual’s gross income could also be subject to the 10% penalty tax discussed below under Non-Qualified Contracts.

An assignment or pledge of all or any portion of the value of a Qualified Contract will disqualify the Qualified Contract. If the Qualified Contract is part of a qualified pension or profit-sharing plan, the Code prohibits the assignment or alienation of benefits provided under the plan. If the Qualified Contract is an IRA annuity or a 403(b) annuity, the Code requires the Qualified Contract to be nontransferable. If the Qualified Contract is part of an eligible deferred compensation plan, amounts cannot be made available to plan participants or beneficiaries: (1) until the calendar year in which the participant attains age 70 1/2; (2) when the participant has a severance from employment; or (3) when the participant is faced with an unforeseeable emergency.

Death Benefits

Any death benefits paid under the Contract are taxable to the beneficiary. The rules governing the taxation of payments from an annuity Contract, as discussed above, generally apply to the payment of death benefits and depend on whether the death benefits are paid as a lump sum or as annuity payments. Estate or gift taxes may also apply.

IRS Approval

The Perspective II Contract and all death benefit riders attached thereto have been approved by the IRS for use as an Individual Retirement Annuity prototype.

Tax-Qualified Plans

The Contracts offered by the Prospectus are designed to be suitable for use under various types of tax-qualified plans. Taxation of owners of a tax-qualified Contract will vary based on the type of plan and the terms and conditions of each specific plan. Owners, annuitants and beneficiaries are cautioned that benefits under a tax-qualified Contract may be subject to the terms and conditions of the plan, regardless of the terms and conditions of the Contracts issued to fund the plan. Owners, annuitants and beneficiaries are also reminded that a tax-qualified Contract will not provide any necessary or additional tax deferral if it is used to fund a tax-qualified plan that is already tax-deferred.

Tax Treatment of Withdrawals

Non-Qualified Contracts

Section 72 of the Code governs treatment of distributions from annuity Contracts. It provides that if the Contract value exceeds the aggregate premiums made, any amount withdrawn not in the form of an annuity payment will be treated as coming first from the earnings and then, only after the income portion is exhausted, as coming from the principal. Withdrawn earnings are included in a taxpayer’s gross income. Section 72 further provides that a 10% penalty will apply to the income portion of any distribution. The penalty is not imposed on amounts received: (1) after the taxpayer reaches 59 1/2; (2) upon the death of the owner; (3) if the taxpayer is totally disabled as defined in Section 72(m)(7) of the Code; (4) in a series of substantially equal periodic payments made at least annually for the life (or life expectancy) of the taxpayer or for the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the taxpayer and his beneficiary; (5) under an immediate annuity; or (6) which are allocable to premium payments made prior to August 14, 1982.

With respect to (4) above, if the series of substantially equal periodic payments is modified before the later of your attaining age 59 1/2 or five years from the date of the first periodic payment, then the tax for the year of the modification is increased by an amount equal to the tax which would have been imposed (the 10% penalty tax) but for the exception, plus interest for the tax years in which the exception was used.

Tax-Qualified Contracts

In the case of a withdrawal under a tax-qualified Contract, a ratable portion of the amount received is taxable, generally based on the ratio of the individual’s cost basis to the individual’s total accrued benefit under the retirement plan. Special tax rules may be available

12


for certain distributions from a tax-qualified Contract. Section 72(t) of the Code imposes a 10% penalty tax on the taxable portion of any distribution from qualified retirement plans, including Contracts issued and qualified under Code Sections 401 (pension and profit sharing plans), 403(b) (tax-sheltered annuities), individual retirement accounts and annuities under 408(a) and (b) (IRAs) and Roth IRAs under 408A. To the extent amounts are not included in gross income because they have been rolled over to an IRA or to another eligible qualified plan, no tax penalty will be imposed.

The tax penalty will not apply to the following distributions: (1) distributions made on or after the date on which the owner or annuitant (as applicable) reaches age 59 1/2; (2) distributions following the death or disability of the owner or annuitant (as applicable) (for this purpose “disability” is defined in Section 72(m)(7) of the Code); (3) distributions that are part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments made not less frequently than annually for the life (or life expectancy) of the owner or annuitant (as applicable) or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of such owner or annuitant (as applicable) and his or her designated beneficiary; (4) distributions to an owner or annuitant (as applicable) who has separated from service after he has attained age 55; (5) distributions made to the owner or annuitant (as applicable) to the extent such distributions do not exceed the amount allowable as a deduction under Code Section 213 to the owner or annuitant (as applicable) for amounts paid during the taxable year for medical care; (6) distributions made to an alternate payee pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (7) distributions made on account of an IRS levy upon the qualified Contracts; (8) distributions from an IRA after separation from employment for the purchase of medical insurance (as described in Section 213(d)(1)(D) of the Code) for the Contract owner or annuitant (as applicable) and his or her spouse and dependents if the Contract owner or annuitant (as applicable) has received unemployment compensation for at least 12 weeks (this exception will no longer apply after the Contract owner or annuitant (as applicable) has been re-employed for at least 60 days); (9) distributions from an IRA made to the owner or annuitant (as applicable) to the extent such distributions do not exceed the qualified higher education expenses (as defined in Section 72(t)(7) of the Code) (as applicable) for the taxable year; and (10) distributions from an IRA made to the owner or annuitant (as applicable) which are qualified first time home buyer distributions (as defined in Section 72(t)(8) of the Code). The exceptions stated in items (4) and (6) above do not apply in the case of an IRA. The exception stated in (3) above applies to an IRA without the requirement that there be a separation from service.

With respect to (3) above, if the series of substantially equal periodic payments is modified before the later of your attaining age 59 1/2 or five years from the date of the first periodic payment, then the tax for the year of the modification is increased by an amount equal to the tax which would have been imposed (the 10% penalty tax) but for the exception, plus interest for the tax years in which the exception was used.

Withdrawals of amounts attributable to contributions made pursuant to a salary reduction agreement (in accordance with Section 403(b)(11) of the Code) are limited to the following: when the owner attains age 59 1/2, severs employment, dies, becomes disabled (within the meaning of Section 72(m)(7) of the Code), or in the case of hardship. Hardship withdrawals do not include any earnings on salary reduction contributions. These limitations on withdrawals apply to: (1) salary reduction contributions made after December 31, 1988; (2) income attributable to such contributions; and (3) income attributable to amounts held as of December 31, 1988. The limitations on withdrawals do not affect rollovers or exchanges between certain tax-qualified plans. Tax penalties may also apply. While the foregoing limitations only apply to certain Contracts issued in connection with Section 403(b) plans, all owners should seek competent tax advice regarding any withdrawals or distributions.

The taxable portion of a withdrawal or distribution from tax-qualified Contracts may, under some circumstances, be “rolled over” into another eligible plan so as to continue to defer income tax on the taxable portion. Such treatment is available for an “eligible rollover distribution” made by certain types of plans (as described above under “Taxes - Withholding Tax on Distributions”) that is transferred within 60 days of receipt into another eligible plan or an IRA. Plans making such eligible rollover distributions are also required, with some exceptions specified in the Code, to provide for a direct transfer of the distribution to the transferee plan designated by the recipient.

Amounts received from IRAs may also be rolled over into other IRAs or certain other plans, subject to limitations set forth in the Code.

Prior to the date that annuity payments begin under an annuity Contract, the required minimum distribution rules applicable to defined contribution plans and IRAs will be used. Generally, distributions from a tax-qualified plan must commence no later than April 1 of the calendar year following the year in which the employee attains the later of age 70 1/2 or the date of retirement. In the case of an IRA, distributions must commence no later than April 1 of the calendar year following the year in which the owner attains age 70 1/2. Required distributions from defined contribution plans and IRAs are determined by dividing the account balance by the appropriate distribution period found in a uniform lifetime distribution table set forth in IRS regulations. For this purpose, the entire interest under an annuity Contract is the account value under the Contract plus the actuarial value of any other benefits such as guaranteed death benefits that will be provided under the Contract.

If the sole beneficiary is the Contract holder’s or employee’s spouse and the spouse is more than 10 years younger than the employee, a longer distribution period measured by the joint life and last survivor expectancy of the Contract holder employee and spouse is permitted to be used. Distributions under a defined benefit plan or an annuity Contract must be paid in the form of periodic annuity payments for the employee’s life (or the joint lives of the employee and beneficiary) or over a period certain that does not exceed the period under the

13


uniform lifetime table for the employee’s age in the year in which the annuity starting date occurs. If the required minimum distributions are not made, a 50% penalty tax on the amount not distributed is imposed on the individual.

Types of Tax-Qualified Plans

The Contracts offered herein are designed to be suitable for use under various types of tax-qualified plans. Taxation of participants in each tax-qualified plan varies with the type of plan and terms and conditions of each specific plan. Owners, annuitants and beneficiaries are cautioned that benefits under a tax-qualified plan may be subject to the terms and conditions of the plan regardless of the terms and conditions of the Contracts issued pursuant to the plan. Some retirement plans are subject to distribution and other requirements that are not incorporated into Jackson’s administrative procedures. Jackson is not bound by the terms and conditions of such plans to the extent such terms conflict with the terms of a Contract, unless Jackson specifically consents to be bound. Owners, annuitants and beneficiaries are responsible for determining that contributions, distributions and other transactions with respect to the Contracts comply with applicable law.

A tax-qualified Contract will not provide any necessary or additional tax deferral if it is used to fund a tax-qualified plan that is tax deferred. However, the Contract has features and benefits other than tax deferral that may make it an appropriate investment for a tax-qualified plan. Following are general descriptions of the types of tax-qualified plans with which the Contracts may be used. Such descriptions are not exhaustive and are for general informational purposes only. The tax rules regarding tax-qualified plans are very complex and will have differing applications depending on individual facts and circumstances. Each purchaser should obtain competent tax advice prior to purchasing a Contract issued under a tax-qualified plan.

Contracts issued pursuant to tax-qualified plans include special provisions restricting Contract provisions that may otherwise be available as described herein. Generally, Contracts issued pursuant to tax-qualified plans are not transferable except upon surrender or annuitization. Various penalty and excise taxes may apply to contributions or distributions made in violation of applicable limitations. Furthermore, certain withdrawal penalties and restrictions may apply to surrenders from Tax-Qualified Contracts. (See “Tax Treatment of Withdrawals - Tax-Qualified Contracts” above.)

On July 6, 1983, the Supreme Court decided in Arizona Governing Committee v. Norris that benefits provided under an employer’s deferred compensation plan could not, under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, vary between men and women. The Contracts sold by Jackson in connection with certain Tax-Qualified Plans will utilize tables that do not differentiate on the basis of sex. Such annuity tables will also be available for use in connection with certain non-qualified deferred compensation plans.

(a) Tax-Sheltered Annuities

Section 403(b) of the Code permits the purchase of “tax-sheltered annuities” by public schools and certain charitable, educational and scientific organizations described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code. These qualifying employers may make contributions to the Contracts for the benefit of their employees. Such contributions are not included in the gross income of the employee until the employee receives distributions from the Contract. The amount of contributions to the tax-sheltered annuity is limited to certain maximums imposed by the Code. Furthermore, the Code sets forth additional restrictions governing such items as transferability, distributions, non-discrimination and withdrawals. Employee loans are not allowed under these Contracts. Any employee should obtain competent tax advice as to the tax treatment and suitability of such an investment.

(b) Individual Retirement Annuities

Section 408(b) of the Code permits eligible individuals to contribute to an individual retirement program known as an “individual retirement annuity” (“IRA annuity”). Under applicable limitations, certain amounts may be contributed to an IRA annuity that will be deductible from the individual’s gross income. IRA annuities are subject to limitations on eligibility, contributions, transferability and distributions. Sales of IRA annuities are subject to special requirements imposed by the Code, including the requirement that certain informational disclosure be given to persons desiring to establish an IRA. Purchasers of Contracts to be qualified as IRA annuities should obtain competent tax advice as to the tax treatment and suitability of such an investment.

(c) Roth IRA Annuities

Section 408A of the Code provides that individuals may purchase a non-deductible IRA annuity, known as a Roth IRA annuity. Premium payments for Roth IRA annuities are limited to a maximum of $6,000 for 2019. The limit will be adjusted annually for inflation in $500 increments. In addition, the Act allows individuals age 50 and older to make additional catch-up IRA contributions. The otherwise maximum contribution limit (before application of adjusted gross income phase-out limits) for an individual who had celebrated his or her 50th birthday before the end of the tax year is increased by $1,000. The same contribution and catch-up contributions are also available for purchasers of Traditional IRA annuities.


14


Lower maximum limitations apply to individuals above certain adjusted gross income levels. For 2019, these levels are $122,000 in the case of single taxpayers, $193,000 in the case of married taxpayers filing joint returns, and $0 in the case of married taxpayers filing separately. These levels are indexed annually in $1,000 increments. An overall $6,000 annual limitation (increased as discussed above) continues to apply to all of a taxpayer’s IRA annuity contributions, including Roth IRA annuities and non-Roth IRA annuities.

Qualified distributions from Roth IRA annuities are free from federal income tax. A qualified distribution requires that the individual has held the Roth IRA annuity for at least five years and, in addition, that the distribution is made either after the individual reaches age 59 1/2, on the individual’s death or disability, or as a qualified first-time home purchase, subject to a $10,000 lifetime maximum, for the individual, a spouse, child, grandchild, or ancestor. Any distribution that is not a qualified distribution is taxable to the extent of earnings in the distribution. Distributions are treated as made from contributions first and therefore no distributions are taxable until distributions exceed the amount of contributions to the Roth IRA annuity. The 10% penalty tax and the regular IRA annuity exceptions to the 10% penalty tax apply to taxable distributions from Roth IRA annuities.

Amounts may be rolled over from one Roth IRA annuity to another Roth IRA annuity. Furthermore, an individual may make a rollover contribution from a non-Roth IRA annuity to a Roth IRA annuity. The individual must pay tax on any portion of the IRA annuity being rolled over that would be included in income if the distributions were not rolled over. There are no similar limitations on rollovers from one Roth IRA annuity to another Roth IRA annuity.

(d) Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans

The Internal Revenue Code permits employers, including self-employed individuals, to establish various types of qualified retirement plans for employees. These retirement plans may permit the purchase of the Contracts to provide benefits under the plan. Contributions to the plan for the benefit of employees will not be included in the gross income of the employee until distributed from the plan. The tax consequences to owners may vary depending upon the particular plan design. However, the Code places limitations on all plans on such items as amount of allowable contributions; form, manner and timing of distributions; vesting and non-forfeitability of interests; nondiscrimination in eligibility and participation; and the tax treatment of distributions, transferability of benefits, withdrawals and surrenders. Purchasers of Contracts for use with pension or profit sharing plans should obtain competent tax advice as to the tax treatment and suitability of such an investment.

(e) Eligible Deferred Compensation Plans -- Section 457

Under Code provisions, employees and independent Contractors performing services for state and local governments and other tax-exempt organizations may participate in eligible deferred compensation plans under Section 457 of the Code. The amounts deferred under a Plan that meets the requirements of Section 457 of the Code are not taxable as income to the participant until paid or otherwise made available to the participant or beneficiary. As a general rule, the maximum amount that can be deferred in any one year is the lesser of 100% of the participant’s includable compensation or the $19,000 elective deferral limitation in 2019. The limit is indexed for inflation in $500 increments annually. In addition, the Act allows individuals in eligible deferred compensation plans of state or local governments age 50 and older to make additional catch-up contributions. The otherwise maximum contribution limit for an individual who had celebrated his or her 50th birthday before the end of the tax year is increased by $6,000. The same contribution and catch-up contributions are also available for participants in qualified pension and profit-sharing plans and tax-sheltered annuities under Section 403(b) of the Code.

In limited circumstances, the plan may provide for additional catch-up contributions in each of the last three years before normal retirement age. Furthermore, the Code provides additional requirements and restrictions regarding eligibility and distributions.

All of the assets and income of an eligible deferred compensation plan established by a governmental employer must be held in trust for the exclusive benefit of participants and their beneficiaries. For this purpose, custodial accounts and certain annuity Contracts are treated as trusts. The requirement of a trust does not apply to amounts under a Plan of a tax-exempt (non-governmental) employer. In addition, the requirement of a trust does not apply to amounts under a Plan of a governmental employer if the Plan is not an eligible plan within the meaning of Section 457(b) of the Code. In the absence of such a trust, amounts under the plan will be subject to the claims of the employer’s general creditors.

In general, distributions from a Plan are prohibited under Section 457 of the Code unless made after the participant:

attains age 70 1/2,
severs employment,
dies, or

15


suffers an unforeseeable financial emergency as defined in the regulations.

Under present federal tax law, amounts accumulated in a Plan of a tax-exempt (non-governmental) employer under Section 457 of the Code cannot be transferred or rolled over on a tax-deferred basis except for certain transfers to other Plans under Section 457. Amounts accumulated in a Plan of a state or local government employer may be transferred or rolled over to another eligible deferred compensation plan of a state or local government, an IRA, a qualified pension or profit-sharing plan or a tax-sheltered annuity under Section 403(b) of the Code.

Annuity Provisions

Variable Annuity Payment

The initial annuity payment is determined by taking the Contract value allocated to that Investment Division, less any premium tax and any applicable Contract charges, and then applying it to the income option table specified in the Contract.  The appropriate rate must be determined by the sex (except where, as in the case of certain Qualified Plans and other employer-sponsored retirement plans, such classification is not permitted) and age of the annuitant and designated second person, if any.

The dollars applied are divided by 1,000 and the result multiplied by the appropriate annuity factor appearing in the table to compute the amount of the first monthly payment.  That amount is divided by the value of an annuity unit as of the Income Date to establish the number of annuity units representing each variable payment.  The number of annuity units determined for the first variable payment remains constant for the second and subsequent monthly variable payments, assuming that no reallocation of Contract values is made.

The amount of the second and each subsequent monthly variable payment is determined by multiplying the number of annuity units by the annuity unit value as of the business day next preceding the date on which each payment is due.

The mortality and expense experience will not adversely affect the dollar amount of the variable annuity payments once payments have commenced.

Annuity Unit Value

The initial value of an annuity unit of each Investment Division was set when the Investment Divisions were established.  The value may increase or decrease from one business day to the next.  The income option tables contained in the Contract are based on an assumed investment rate of 1%.

The value of a fixed number of annuity units will reflect the investment performance of the Investment Divisions elected, and the amount of each payment will vary accordingly.

For each Investment Division, the value of an annuity unit for any business day is determined by multiplying the annuity unit value for the immediately preceding business day by the percentage change in the value of an accumulation unit from the immediately preceding business day to the business day of valuation, calculated by use of the Net Investment Factor, described below. The result is then multiplied by a second factor which offsets the effect of the assumed net investment rate of 1%.

Net Investment Factor

The net investment factor is an index applied to measure the net investment performance of an Investment Division from one valuation date to the next. The net investment factor for any Investment Division for any valuation period during the accumulation and annuity phases is determined by dividing (a) by (b) and then subtracting (c) from the result where:

(a)
is the net result of:
 
(1)
the net asset value of a Fund’s share held in the Investment Division determined as of the valuation date at the end of the valuation period, plus
 
(2)
the per share amount of any dividend or other distribution declared by the Fund if the “ex-dividend” date occurs during the valuation period, plus or minus
 
(3)
a per share credit or charge with respect to any taxes paid or reserved for by Jackson during the valuation period which are determined by Jackson to be attributable to the operation of the Investment Division (no federal income taxes are applicable under present law);

16


(b)
is the net asset value of the Fund share held in the Investment Division determined as of the valuation date at the end of the preceding valuation period; and
(c)
is the asset charge factor determined by Jackson for the valuation period to reflect the applicable Core Contract Charge.

(a) On April 25, 2016, JNL/PPM America Total Return Fund was created in the JNL Series Trust to facilitate an acquisition of a fund with the same name which was a series in JNL Investors Series Trust. Although the fund in JNL Investors Series Trust was legally dissolved, it is considered the acquiring fund for financial reporting purposes, and as a result, the Statement of Changes in Net Assets includes activity of the acquiring fund formerly in JNL Investors Series Trust for the period January 1, 2016 through April 24, 2016 and the acquired fund in JNL Series Trust for the period after April 24, 2016.

^

*
These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the Investment Division from the underlying Fund divided by the average net assets. In some instances, the investment income ratio may be rounded to 0.00% even though the Investment Division received dividend income from the Underlying Fund.
Total return for period indicated, includes changes in the value of the underlying Fund, and reflects deductions for all items included in the expense ratio. The total return does not include any expense assessed through the redemption of units, inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented. Total return for Investment Divisions with no assets at period end is calculated based on the total return of the underlying Fund less expenses that are charged directly to that Investment Division of the Separate Account.
^
Annualized contract expense of Investment Divisions of the Separate Account, consist primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying Funds are excluded.
¥
Some investments have a net asset and ending unit balance of less than one thousand, due to rounding it is displayed as a zero.
 Total return is calculated from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. The effective date is the date when the optional benefit in the variable account was elected by a contract owner.

These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the Investment Division from the underlying Fund divided by the average net assets. In some instances, the investment income ratio may be rounded to 0.00% even though the Investment Division received dividend income from the Underlying Fund.
Total return for period indicated, includes changes in the value of the underlying Fund, and reflects deductions for all items included in the expense ratio. The total return does not include any expense assessed through the redemption of units, inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented. Total return for Investment Divisions with no assets at period end is calculated based on the total return of the underlying Fund less expenses that are charged directly to that Investment Division of the Separate Account.
^

The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying Funds are excluded.
¥
Some investments have a net asset and ending unit balance of less than one thousand, due to rounding it is displayed as a zero.
 Total return is calculated from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. The effective date is the date when the optional benefit in the variable account was elected by a contract owner.

These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the Investment Division from the underlying Fund divided by the average net assets. In some instances, the investment income ratio may be rounded to 0.00% even though the Investment Division received dividend income from the Underlying Fund.
Total return for period indicated, includes changes in the value of the underlying Fund, and reflects deductions for all items included in the expense ratio. The total return does not include any expense assessed through the redemption of units, inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented. Total return for Investment Divisions with no assets at period end is calculated based on the total return of the underlying Fund less expenses that are charged directly to that Investment Division of the Separate Account.
^
Annualized contract expense of Investment Divisions of the Separate Account, consist primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying Funds are excluded.
¥
Some investments have a net asset and ending unit balance of less than one thousand, due to rounding it is displayed as a zero.
 Total return is calculated from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. The effective date is the date when the optional benefit in the variable account was elected by a contract owner.

The mutual fund's shares, as applicable, became available as followed for investment by the Investment Division: JNL/DFA Moderate Growth Allocation Fund - Class I - September 25, 2017; JNL/DFA U.S. Core Equity Fund - Class I - September 25, 2017; JNL/DFA U.S. Small Cap Fund - Class I - September 25, 2017; JNL/DoubleLine Core Fixed Income Fund - Class I - September 25, 2017.
*
These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the Investment Division from the underlying Fund divided by the average net assets. In some instances, the investment income ratio may be rounded to 0.00% even though the Investment Division received dividend income from the Underlying Fund.
Total return for period indicated, includes changes in the value of the underlying Fund, and reflects deductions for all items included in the expense ratio. The total return does not include any expense assessed through the redemption of units, inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented. Total return for Investment Divisions with no assets at period end is calculated based on the total return of the underlying Fund less expenses that are charged directly to that Investment Division of the Separate Account.
^
Annualized contract expense of Investment Divisions of the Separate Account, consist primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying Funds are excluded.
¥
Some investments have a net asset and ending unit balance of less than one thousand, due to rounding it is displayed as a zero.
 Total return is calculated from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. The effective date is the date when the optional benefit in the variable account was elected by a contract owner.

The mutual fund's shares, as applicable, became available as followed for investment by the Investment Division: JNL/GQG Emerging Markets Equity Fund - Class A - September 25, 2017; JNL/GQG Emerging Markets Equity Fund - Class I - September 25, 2017; JNL/Harris Oakmark Global Equity Fund - Class A - April 27, 2015; JNL/Harris Oakmark Global Equity Fund - Class I - September 25, 2017; JNL/Invesco Diversified Dividend Fund - Class A - September 25, 2017.
*
These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the Investment Division from the underlying Fund divided by the average net assets. In some instances, the investment income ratio may be rounded to 0.00% even though the Investment Division received dividend income from the Underlying Fund.
Total return for period indicated, includes changes in the value of the underlying Fund, and reflects deductions for all items included in the expense ratio. The total return does not include any expense assessed through the redemption of units, inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented. Total return for Investment Divisions with no assets at period end is calculated based on the total return of the underlying Fund less expenses that are charged directly to that Investment Division of the Separate Account.
^
Annualized contract expense of Investment Divisions of the Separate Account, consist primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying Funds are excluded.
¥
Some investments have a net asset and ending unit balance of less than one thousand, due to rounding it is displayed as a zero.
 Total return is calculated from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. The effective date is the date when the optional benefit in the variable account was elected by a contract owner.

These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the Investment Division from the underlying Fund divided by the average net assets. In some instances, the investment income ratio may be rounded to 0.00% even though the Investment Division received dividend income from the Underlying Fund.
Total return for period indicated, includes changes in the value of the underlying Fund, and reflects deductions for all items included in the expense ratio. The total return does not include any expense assessed through the redemption of units, inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented. Total return for Investment Divisions with no assets at period end is calculated based on the total return of the underlying Fund less expenses that are charged directly to that Investment Division of the Separate Account.
^
Annualized contract expense of Investment Divisions of the Separate Account, consist primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying Funds are excluded.
¥
Some investments have a net asset and ending unit balance of less than one thousand, due to rounding it is displayed as a zero.
 Total return is calculated from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. The effective date is the date when the optional benefit in the variable account was elected by a contract owner.

The mutual fund's shares, as applicable, became available as followed for investment by the Investment Division: JNL/MC Financial Sector Fund - Class I - September 25, 2017; JNL/MC Healthcare Sector Fund - Class I - September 25, 2017; JNL/MC Industrials Sector Fund - Class A - September 25, 2017.
*
These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the Investment Division from the underlying Fund divided by the average net assets. In some instances, the investment income ratio may be rounded to 0.00% even though the Investment Division received dividend income from the Underlying Fund.
Total return for period indicated, includes changes in the value of the underlying Fund, and reflects deductions for all items included in the expense ratio. The total return does not include any expense assessed through the redemption of units, inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented. Total return for Investment Divisions with no assets at period end is calculated based on the total return of the underlying Fund less expenses that are charged directly to that Investment Division of the Separate Account.
^
Annualized contract expense of Investment Divisions of the Separate Account, consist primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying Funds are excluded.
¥
Some investments have a net asset and ending unit balance of less than one thousand, due to rounding it is displayed as a zero.
 Total return is calculated from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. The effective date is the date when the optional benefit in the variable account was elected by a contract owner.

These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the Investment Division from the underlying Fund divided by the average net assets. In some instances, the investment income ratio may be rounded to 0.00% even though the Investment Division received dividend income from the Underlying Fund.
Total return for period indicated, includes changes in the value of the underlying Fund, and reflects deductions for all items included in the expense ratio. The total return does not include any expense assessed through the redemption of units, inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented.

Annualized contract expense of Investment Divisions of the Separate Account, consist primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying Funds are excluded.

*
These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the Investment Division from the underlying Fund divided by the average net assets. In some instances, the investment income ratio may be rounded to 0.00% even though the Investment Division received dividend income from the Underlying Fund.
Total return for period indicated, includes changes in the value of the underlying Fund, and reflects deductions for all items included in the expense ratio. The total return does not include any expense assessed through the redemption of units, inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented. Total return for Investment Divisions with no assets at period end is calculated based on the total return of the underlying Fund less expenses that are charged directly to that Investment Division of the Separate Account.
^
Annualized contract expense of Investment Divisions of the Separate Account, consist primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying Funds are excluded.
¥
Some investments have a net asset and ending unit balance of less than one thousand, due to rounding it is displayed as a zero.
 Total return is calculated from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. The effective date is the date when the optional benefit in the variable account was elected by a contract owner.

*
These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the Investment Division from the underlying Fund divided by the average net assets. In some instances, the investment income ratio may be rounded to 0.00% even though the Investment Division received dividend income from the Underlying Fund.
Total return for period indicated, includes changes in the value of the underlying Fund, and reflects deductions for all items included in the expense ratio. The total return does not include any expense assessed through the redemption of units, inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented. Total return for Investment Divisions with no assets at period end is calculated based on the total return of the underlying Fund less expenses that are charged directly to that Investment Division of the Separate Account.
^
Annualized contract expense of Investment Divisions of the Separate Account, consist primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying Funds are excluded.
¥
Some investments have a net asset and ending unit balance of less than one thousand, due to rounding it is displayed as a zero.
 Total return is calculated from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. The effective date is the date when the optional benefit in the variable account was elected by a contract owner.

The mutual fund's shares, as applicable, became available as followed for investment by the Investment Division: JNL/PPM America Mid Cap Value Fund - Class I - September 25, 2017; JNL/PPM America Small Cap Value Fund - Class I - September 25, 2017; JNL/PPM America Total Return Fund - Class A - April 27, 2015; JNL/PPM America Total Return Fund - Class I - September 25, 2017; JNL/PPM America Value Equity Fund - Class I - September 25, 2017.
*
These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the Investment Division from the underlying Fund divided by the average net assets. In some instances, the investment income ratio may be rounded to 0.00% even though the Investment Division received dividend income from the Underlying Fund.
Total return for period indicated, includes changes in the value of the underlying Fund, and reflects deductions for all items included in the expense ratio. The total return does not include any expense assessed through the redemption of units, inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented. Total return for Investment Divisions with no assets at period end is calculated based on the total return of the underlying Fund less expenses that are charged directly to that Investment Division of the Separate Account.
^
Annualized contract expense of Investment Divisions of the Separate Account, consist primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying Funds are excluded.
¥
Some investments have a net asset and ending unit balance of less than one thousand, due to rounding it is displayed as a zero.
#
The period is from January 1, 2017 through September 25, 2017 the date the Fund was acquired. The respective acquisitions can be found in Note 1 in the Notes to Financial Statements. Unit values disclosed are as of September 22, 2017.
 Total return is calculated from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. The effective date is the date when the optional benefit in the variable account was elected by a contract owner.

These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the Investment Division from the underlying Fund divided by the average net assets. In some instances, the investment income ratio may be rounded to 0.00% even though the Investment Division received dividend income from the Underlying Fund.
Total return for period indicated, includes changes in the value of the underlying Fund, and reflects deductions for all items included in the expense ratio. The total return does not include any expense assessed through the redemption of units, inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented. Total return for Investment Divisions with no assets at period end is calculated based on the total return of the underlying Fund less expenses that are charged directly to that Investment Division of the Separate Account.
^
Annualized contract expense of Investment Divisions of the Separate Account, consist primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying Funds are excluded.
¥
Some investments have a net asset and ending unit balance of less than one thousand, due to rounding it is displayed as a zero.
 Total return is calculated from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. The effective date is the date when the optional benefit in the variable account was elected by a contract owner.

These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the Investment Division from the underlying Fund divided by the average net assets. In some instances, the investment income ratio may be rounded to 0.00% even though the Investment Division received dividend income from the Underlying Fund.
Total return for period indicated, includes changes in the value of the underlying Fund, and reflects deductions for all items included in the expense ratio. The total return does not include any expense assessed through the redemption of units, inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented. Total return for Investment Divisions with no assets at period end is calculated based on the total return of the underlying Fund less expenses that are charged directly to that Investment Division of the Separate Account.
^
Annualized contract expense of Investment Divisions of the Separate Account, consist primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying Funds are excluded.
¥
Some investments have a net asset and ending unit balance of less than one thousand, due to rounding it is displayed as a zero.
 Total return is calculated from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. The effective date is the date when the optional benefit in the variable account was elected by a contract owner.

NOTE 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Separate Account in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity 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 increase and decrease in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investments. The Separate Account’s Investment Divisions’ investments in the corresponding Funds are stated at the closing net asset value (“NAV”) of the respective Fund, which represent fair value. The average cost method is used in determining the cost of the shares sold on withdrawals by the Investment Divisions of the Separate Account. Investments in the Funds are recorded on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gain

Jackson National Separate Account I
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2017

distributions and dividend income distributions received from the Funds are reinvested in additional shares of the Funds and are recorded as gain or income to the Investment Divisions of the Separate Account on the ex-dividend date.
Federal Income Taxes. The operations of the Separate Account are taxed as part of the operations of Jackson, which is taxed as a “life insurance company” under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Under current law, no federal income taxes are payable with respect to the Separate Account. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740 “Income Taxes” provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FASB ASC Topic 740 establishes for all entities, a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of positions taken in filing tax returns (including whether an entity is taxable in a particular jurisdiction), and requires certain expanded tax disclosures. FASB ASC Topic 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Separate Account’s tax return to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. The Interpretation requires that management evaluate the tax positions taken in the returns which remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax jurisdictions. JNAM completed an evaluation of the Separate Account’s tax positions and based on that evaluation, determined that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Separate Account’s financial statements during the year ended December 31, 2017.
FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement”. As of December 31, 2017, all of the Separate Account’s Investment Divisions’ investment in each of the corresponding Funds are valued as a practical expedient at their daily reported net asset value (“NAV”) and as such are not included in the fair value hierarchy required under FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement”. On each valuation date, the NAV of each corresponding Fund is generally determined once each day on which the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open, at the close of the regular trading session of the NYSE (generally, 4:00 PM Eastern Time). The characterization of the underlying securities held by the Funds in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820 differs from the characterization of the Separate Account’s Investment Divisions’ investment in the corresponding Funds. Although there can be no assurance, in general, the fair value of the investment valued as a practical expedient is the amount the owner of such investment might reasonably expect to receive in an orderly transaction between market participants upon its current sale.

NOTE 3. Contract Charges
Under the term of the contracts, certain charges are allocated to the contract owner to compensate Jackson for providing the insurance benefits set forth in the contracts, administering the contracts, distributing the contracts, and assuming certain risks in connection with the contracts. These charges result in a reduction in contract unit value or redemptions of contract units in the number of contract units outstanding.
Contract Owner Charges. The following charges are assessed to the contract owner by redemption of contract units outstanding:
Contract Maintenance Charge. An annual contract maintenance charge of $35 - $120 is charged against each contract to reimburse Jackson for expenses incurred in establishing and maintaining records relating to the contract. The contract maintenance charge is assessed on each anniversary of the contract date that occurs prior to the annuity date, on contract monthly anniversary or in conjunction with a total withdrawal, as applicable. This charge is specifically imposed to a contract if the contract value is less than $50,000 on the date when the charge is assessed. The charge is deducted by redemption of contract units.
Transfer Charge. A transfer charge of $25 will apply to transfers made by contract owners between the Investment Divisions in excess of 15 transfers in a contract year. Contract year is defined as the succeeding twelve months from the contract issue date. Jackson may waive the transfer charge in connection with pre-authorized automatic transfer programs, or in those states where a lesser charge is required. This charge will be deducted from the amount transferred prior to the allocation to a different Investment Division.
Surrender or Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. During the first three to nine contract years, certain contracts include a provision for a charge upon the surrender or partial surrender of the contract. The amount assessed under the contract terms, if any, depends upon the cost associated with distributing the particular contract. The amount, if any, is determined based on a number of factors, including the amount withdrawn, the contract year of surrender, or the number and amount of withdrawals in a calendar year. The surrender charges are assessed by Jackson and withheld from the proceeds of the withdrawals.
Optional Benefit Charges. The following contract owner charges are optional benefit charges:
Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit Charge. If this benefit has been selected, Jackson will assess an annual charge of 0.40% to 0.87%, depending on the contract, of the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (“GMIB”) base. The charge will be deducted each calendar quarter from the contract value by redemption of contract units.
Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit Charge. If this benefit has been selected, Jackson will assess an annual charge of 1.00% to 1.02% of the Guaranteed Value (“GV”). The charge will be deducted each calendar quarter from the contract value by redemption of contract units.
Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Charge. If this benefit has been selected, Jackson will assess an annual charge of 0.50% to 3.00%, depending on the contract of the Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance (“GWB”). The charge will be deducted each calendar quarter from the contract value by redemption of contract units.

Jackson National Separate Account I

Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Charge. If any of the optional death benefits are selected that are available under the contract, Jackson will assess an annual charge of 0.20% to 2.50%, depending on the contract of the Death Benefit base. The charge will be deducted each contract quarter from the contract value by redemption of contract units.
Asset-based Charges. The following charges are assessed to the contract owner by a reduction in contract unit value:
Insurance Charges. Jackson deducts a daily charge for administrative expenses from the net assets of the Separate Account equivalent to an annual rate of 0.15%. In designated products, this expense is waived for contracts valued greater than $1 million, refer to the product prospectus for eligibility. The administration charge is designed to reimburse Jackson for expenses incurred in administering the Separate Account and its contracts and reduces the contract unit value.
Jackson deducts a daily base contract charge from the net assets of the Separate Account equivalent to an annual rate of 0.00% to 1.65% for the assumption of mortality and expense risks. The mortality risk assumed by Jackson is that the insured may receive benefits greater than those anticipated by Jackson. The expense risk assumed by Jackson is that the actual cost of administering the contracts of the Separate Account may exceed the amount received from the Administration Charge and the Contract Maintenance Charge.
Optional Benefit Charges. The following contract owner charges are optional benefit charges:
Earnings Protection Benefit Charge. If this benefit option has been selected, Jackson will make an additional deduction of 0.20% to 0.45%, depending on the contract chosen, on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of the contract owner’s allocations to the Investment Divisions.
Contract Enhancement Charge. If one of the contract enhancement benefits is selected, then for a period of five to nine contract years, Jackson will make an additional deduction based upon the average daily net assets of the contract owner’s allocations to the Investment Divisions. The amounts of these charges depend upon the contract enhancements selected and range from 0.395% to 0.832%.
Withdrawal Charge Period. If the optional three, four, or five-year withdrawal charge period feature is selected, Jackson will deduct 0.45%, 0.40%, or 0.30%, respectively, on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of the contract owner’s allocations to the Investment Divisions.
20% Additional Free Withdrawal Charge. If a contract owner selects the optional feature that permits you to withdraw up to 20% of premiums that are still subject to a withdrawal charge minus earnings during a contract year without withdrawal charge, Jackson will deduct 0.30% to 0.40% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of the contract owner’s allocations to the Investment Divisions.
Optional Death Benefit Charges. If any of the optional death benefits are selected that are available under the contract, Jackson will make an additional deduction of 0.15% to 0.80% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets the contract owner’s allocations to the Investment Divisions, based on the optional death benefit selected.
Premium Taxes. Some states and other governmental entities charge premium taxes or other similar taxes. Jackson pays these taxes and may make a deduction from the value of the contract for them. Premium taxes generally range from 0% to 3.5% depending on the state.
NOTE 4. Related Party Transactions
For contract enhancement benefits related to the optional benefits offered, Jackson contributed $2,031,493 and $2,727,489 to the Separate Account in the form of additional premium to contract owners’ accounts for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. These amounts are included in purchase payments from contract transactions.

NOTE 5. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated subsequent events for the Separate Accounts through the date the financial statements are issued and has concluded there are no events that require adjustments to the financial statements or disclosure in the notes.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Jackson National Life Insurance Company and
Contract Owners of Jackson National Separate Account I:

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the Investment Divisions listed in the Appendix that comprise the Jackson National Separate Account I (the Separate Account) as of the date listed in the Appendix, the related statements of operations for the year or period listed in the Appendix and changes in net assets for the years or periods listed in the Appendix, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods indicated therein. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each Investment Division as of the date listed in the Appendix, the results of its operations for the year or period listed in the Appendix, the changes in its net assets for the years or periods listed in the Appendix, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Separate Account’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Separate Account in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2017, by correspondence with the transfer agent of the underlying mutual funds. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


The stockholders and board of directors
Jackson National Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries:

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Jackson National Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2018, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

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

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 1999.

Jackson National Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2018 and 2017
 

1.
Business and Basis of Presentation

Jackson National Life Insurance Company (the “Company” or “Jackson”) is wholly owned by Brooke Life Insurance Company (“Brooke Life” or the “Parent”), which is ultimately a wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential plc (“Prudential”), London, England. Jackson, together with its New York life insurance subsidiary, is licensed to sell group and individual annuity products (including immediate, index linked and deferred fixed annuities and variable annuities), guaranteed investment contracts (“GICs”) and individual life insurance products, including variable universal life, in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

The consolidated financial statements include accounts, after the elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions, of the following:
Life insurers: Jackson and its wholly owned subsidiaries Jackson National Life Insurance Company of New York (“JNY”), Squire Reassurance Company LLC (“Squire Re”), Squire Reassurance Company II, Inc. (“Squire Re II”), VFL International Life Company SPC, LTD and Jackson National Life (Bermuda) LTD;
Wholly owned broker-dealer, investment management and investment advisor subsidiaries: Jackson National Life Distributors, LLC, Jackson National Asset Management, LLC;
PGDS (US One) LLC (“PGDS”), a wholly owned subsidiary that provides information technology services to Jackson and certain affiliates;
Other insignificant wholly owned subsidiaries; and
Other insignificant partnerships, limited liability companies and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which Jackson is deemed the primary beneficiary.

On August 15, 2017, National Planning Holdings, Inc. (“NPH”), Jackson’s affiliated broker-dealer network, announced the sale of its broker-dealer business to LPL Financial LLC (“LPL”). In December 2018, the broker dealer’s subsidiaries were consolidated into NPH, which was then contributed to Jackson by its parent, Brooke Life and, subsequently, converted to National Planning Holdings, LLC (“NPH LLC”).

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Certain amounts in the 2017 notes to the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2018 presentation.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Significant estimates or assumptions, as further discussed in the notes, include: 1) valuation of investments and derivative instruments, including fair values of securities deemed to be in an illiquid market and the determination of when an impairment is other-than-temporary; 2) assessments as to whether certain entities are variable interest entities, the existence of reconsideration events and the determination of which party, if any, should consolidate the entity; 3) assumptions impacting estimated future gross profits, including but not limited to, policyholder behavior, mortality rates, expenses, investment returns and policy crediting rates, used in the calculation of amortization of deferred acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements; 4) assumptions used in calculating policy reserves and liabilities, including but not limited to, policyholder behavior, mortality rates, expenses, investment returns and policy crediting rates; 5) assumptions as to future earnings levels being sufficient to realize deferred tax benefits; 6) estimates related to establishment of loan loss reserves, allowances on receivables, liabilities for lawsuits and state guaranty fund assessments; 7) assumptions and estimates associated with the Company’s tax positions which impact the amount of recognized tax benefits recorded by the Company; 8) value of guaranteed benefits; and 9) value of business acquired, its recoverability and amortization. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors deemed appropriate. As facts and circumstances dictate, these estimates and assumptions may be adjusted. Since future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in estimates, including those resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment, will be reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the periods the estimates are changed.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Changes in Accounting Principles - Adopted in Current Year
In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-02, “Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” which provides an option to reclassify stranded tax effects within accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) to retained earnings in each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recorded.  Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-02, which resulted in the reclassification of $141.0 million of stranded tax effects from AOCI to retained earnings within the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows - Restricted Cash,” which requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-18 with no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,” which clarifies the classification of eight specific cash flow items in an entity’s statement of cash flows where it was determined there is diversity in practice. Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-15 with no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments - Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” which revises an entity’s accounting related to the classification and measurement of certain equity investments and the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. The guidance also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-01, which resulted in changes to the presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which specifies the accounting treatment for all revenue arising from contracts with customers and creates a new Topic 606 in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This standard, together with subsequent amendments to Topic 606, establishes the core principle of recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance excludes from its scope the accounting for insurance contracts, leases, financial instruments, and certain other agreements that are governed under other GAAP guidance. The Company has determined that all revenue was from sources excluded from the scope of this standard. Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09 with no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Changes in Accounting Principles - Issued but Not Yet Adopted
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, “Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract,” which align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. ASU No. 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2018-15 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements,” which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. ASU No. 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, with the option to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures while delaying adoption of the new disclosures until the effective date. Certain amendments are required to be applied prospectively for only the most recent annual period presented, where other amendments are to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2018 and 2017
 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-12, “Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long Duration Contracts,” which includes changes to the existing recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure requirements for long-duration contracts issued by an insurance entity. The amendments in this Update contain four significant changes: 1) For the calculation of the liability for future policy benefits of nonparticipating traditional and limited-payment insurance and reinsurance contracts, cash flow assumptions and discount rates will be required to be updated at least annually; 2) Market risk benefits, a new term for certain contracts or features that provide for potential benefits in addition to the account balance which exposes the insurer to other than nominal market risk, will be measured at fair value; 3) deferred acquisition costs (“DAC”) will be amortized on a constant-level basis, independent of profitability; and 4) enhanced disclosures, including quantitative information in rollforwards for balance sheet accounts, as well as information about significant inputs, judgments, assumptions and methods used in measurement. ASU No. 2018-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with required retrospective application to January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has begun its implementation efforts and is currently assessing the impact of the new guidance. Given the nature and extent of the required changes, the adoption of this standard is expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In addition to the initial balance sheet impact upon adoption, the Company also expects a change in the pattern of future profit emergence.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging - Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities,” which changes the recognition and presentation requirements of hedge accounting. ASU No. 2017-12 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2017-12 will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, as the Company does not intend to elect hedge accounting.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, “Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs: Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities,” which requires that certain premiums on callable debt securities be amortized to the earliest call date. ASU No. 2017-08 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2017-08 will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which provides a new current expected credit loss model to account for credit losses on certain financial assets and off-balance sheet exposures. The model requires an entity to estimate lifetime credit losses related to such financial assets and exposures based on relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The guidance also modifies the current other-than-temporary impairment guidance for available-for-sale debt securities to require the use of an allowance rather than a direct write down of the investment and replaces existing guidance for purchased credit deteriorated loans and debt securities. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which establishes a new accounting model for leases. Lessees will recognize most leases on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a related lease liability. The lease liability is measured as the present value of the lease payments over the lease term with the right-of-use asset measured at the lease liability amount and adjusted for certain lease incentives and initial direct costs. Lease expense recognition will continue to differentiate between finance leases and operating leases resulting in a similar pattern of lease expense recognition as under current guidance. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, using either a modified retrospective transition approach with a cumulative effect adjustment as of the earliest period presented or an optional transition method with a cumulative effect adjustment recorded as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. In 2019, the Company will adopt ASU No. 2016-02 utilizing the optional transition method. While the Company is continuing to assess the potential impacts of the guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 will have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Any new lease arrangements and/or significant modifications entered into subsequent to the adoption date will be accounted for in accordance with the new standard.

Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income includes all changes in stockholder’s equity (except those arising from transactions with owners/stockholders) and, in the Company’s case, includes net income and net unrealized gains or losses on available for sale debt securities.

Investments
Debt securities consist primarily of bonds, notes, and asset-backed securities. Acquisition discounts and premiums on debt securities are amortized into investment income through call or maturity dates using the effective interest method. Discounts and premiums on asset-backed securities are amortized over the estimated redemption period. Certain asset-backed securities are considered to be other than high quality or otherwise deemed to be high-risk, meaning the Company might not recover substantially all of its recorded investment due to unanticipated prepayment events. For these securities, changes in investment yields due to changes in estimated future cash flows are accounted for on a prospective basis. The carrying value of such securities was $291.6 million and $365.7 million as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Debt securities are generally classified as available for sale and are carried at fair value. For declines in fair value considered to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge reflecting the difference between the amortized cost basis and fair value is included in net realized losses on investments. If management believes the Company does not intend to sell the security and is not more likely than not to be required to sell the security prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, an amount representing the non-credit related portion of a loss is reclassified out of net realized losses on investments and into other comprehensive income. In determining whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred, and in calculating the non-credit related component of the total impairment loss, the Company considers a number of factors, which are further described in Note 3.

Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, mutual funds, and limited partnerships. Carrying values for limited partnership investments are generally determined by using the proportion of the Company’s investment in each fund (Net Asset Value (“NAV”) equivalent) as a practical expedient for fair value. All equity securities are carried at fair value with changes in value included in net investment income.

Commercial mortgage loans are carried at the aggregate unpaid principal balance, adjusted for any applicable unamortized discount or premium, impairments or allowance for loan losses. Acquisition discounts and premiums on commercial mortgage loans are amortized into investment income through maturity dates using the effective interest method.

On a periodic basis, the Company assesses the commercial mortgage loan portfolio for the need for an allowance for loan losses. In determining its allowance for loan losses, the Company evaluates each loan to determine if it is probable that amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected. The allowance includes loan specific reserves for loans that are determined to be non-performing as a result of this loan review process and a portfolio reserve for probable incurred but not specifically identified losses for performing loans. The loan specific portion of the loss allowance is based on the Company’s assessment as to ultimate collectability of loan principal and interest, or other value expected in lieu of loan principal and interest. This review contemplates a variety of factors which may include, but are not limited to, current economic conditions, the physical condition of the property, the financial condition of the borrower, and the near and long-term prospects for change in these conditions. In determining the portfolio reserve for incurred but not specifically identified losses, Jackson considers the current credit composition of the portfolio based on the results of its loan modeling analysis, which considers property type, default statistics, historical losses and other relevant factors to determine probability of default and other default loss estimates. Model assumptions are updated each quarter and, based upon actual loan experience, are considered together with other relevant qualitative factors in making the final portfolio reserve calculations. The valuation allowance for commercial mortgage loans can increase or decrease from period to period based on these factors. Changes in the allowance for loan losses are recorded in net investment income.

Separately, the Company also reviews individual loans in the portfolio for impairment based on an assessment of the factors identified above. Impairment charges recognized are recorded initially against the established loan loss allowance and, if necessary, any additional amounts are recorded as realized losses. As deemed necessary based on cash flow expectations and other factors, Jackson may place loans on non-accrual status. In this case, all cash received is applied against the carrying value of the loan.

Policy loans are loans the Company issues to contract holders that use the cash surrender value of their life insurance policy or annuity contract as collateral. The Company elected the fair value option upon acquisition of policy loans held as collateral for reinsurance, further described below. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, $3.5 billion and $3.4 billion, respectively, of these loans were carried at fair value, which the Company believes is equal to the unpaid principal balances plus accrued investment income. At both December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had $1.2 billion of policy loans not held as collateral for reinsurance, which were carried at the unpaid principal balances.

Other invested assets primarily include investments in Federal Home Loan Bank capital stock and real estate. Federal Home Loan Bank capital stock is carried at cost and adjusted for any impairment. Real estate is carried at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value.

The Company’s involvement with variable interest entities (“VIEs”) is primarily to invest in assets that gain exposure to a broadly diversified portfolio of asset classes. A VIE is an entity that does not have sufficient equity to finance the activities of the entity without additional subordinated financial support, or where investors lack certain characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The Company performs ongoing qualitative assessments of variable interests in VIEs to determine whether it has a controlling financial interest and would, therefore, be considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE. If the Company determines it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, it consolidates the assets and liabilities of the VIE in its consolidated financial statements.

Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are recognized in income at the date of sale and are determined using the specific cost identification method.

The Company elected the fair value option for certain assets which are held as collateral for reinsurance, as further described below. Accordingly, the Company established a funds held liability, for which the Company also elected the fair value option. The value of the funds held liability is equal to the fair value of the assets held as collateral. The income and any changes in unrealized gains and losses on these assets and the corresponding funds held liability are included in net investment income and have no impact on the Company’s consolidated income statements.

The changes in unrealized gains and losses on certain investments that are classified as available for sale and the non-credit related portion of other-than-temporary impairment charges are excluded from net income and included as a component of other comprehensive income and total equity, net of tax and the effect of the adjustment for deferred acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements. The changes in unrealized gains and losses on investments for which Jackson elected the fair value option are included in net investment income.

Derivative Instruments and Embedded Derivatives
The Company enters into financial derivative transactions, including, but not limited to, swaps, put-swaptions, futures and options to reduce and manage business risks. These transactions manage the risk of a change in the value, yield, price, cash flows, credit quality or degree of exposure with respect to assets, liabilities or future cash flows which the Company has acquired or incurred. The Company manages the potential credit exposure for over-the-counter derivative contracts through careful evaluation of the counterparty credit standing, collateral agreements, and master netting agreements. The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties, however, it does not anticipate nonperformance. There were no charges due to nonperformance by derivative counterparties in 2018, 2017, or 2016.

The Company generally uses freestanding derivative instruments for hedging purposes. Additionally, certain liabilities, primarily trust instruments supported by funding agreements, fixed index annuities and guarantees offered in connection with variable annuities issued by the Company, may contain embedded derivatives. Further details regarding Jackson’s derivative positions are included in Note 4. The Company generally does not account for freestanding derivatives as either fair value or cash flow hedges as might be permitted if specific hedging documentation requirements were followed. Financial derivatives, including derivatives embedded in certain host liabilities that have been separated for accounting and financial reporting purposes, are carried at fair value. The results from freestanding derivative instruments and embedded derivatives, including net payments, realized gains and losses and changes in value, are reported in net income, as further detailed in Note 4.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents primarily include money market instruments and bank deposits.

Fair Value Measurement
Fair value measurements are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s view of market assumptions in the absence of observable market information. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. All financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are required to be classified into one of the following categories:

Level 1
Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 securities include U.S. Treasury securities and exchange traded equity securities and derivative instruments.

Level 2
Observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, for the asset or liability or prices for similar assets and liabilities. Most debt securities that are model priced using observable inputs are classified within Level 2. Also included are freestanding and embedded derivative instruments that are priced using models with observable market inputs.

Level 3
Valuations that are derived from techniques in which one or more of the significant inputs are unobservable (including assumptions about risk). Embedded derivatives that are valued using unobservable inputs are included in Level 3. Because Level 3 fair values, by their nature, contain unobservable market inputs, considerable judgment may be used to determine the Level 3 fair values. Level 3 fair values represent the Company’s best estimate of an amount that could be realized in a current market exchange absent actual market exchanges.

In many situations, inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or liability may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In these situations, the Company determines the level in which the fair value falls based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the determination of the fair value. As a result, both observable and unobservable inputs may be used in the determination of fair values that the Company has classified within Level 3.

The Company determines the fair values of certain financial assets and liabilities based on quoted market prices, where available. The Company may also determine fair value based on estimated future cash flows discounted at the appropriate current market rate. When appropriate, fair values reflect adjustments for counterparty credit quality, the Company’s credit standing, liquidity and risk margins on unobservable inputs.

Where quoted market prices are not available, fair value estimates are made at a point in time, based on relevant market data, as well as the best information about the individual financial instrument. At times, illiquid market conditions may result in inactive markets for certain of the Company’s financial instruments. In such instances, there may be no or limited observable market data for these assets and liabilities. Fair value estimates for financial instruments deemed to be in an illiquid market are based on judgments regarding current economic conditions, liquidity discounts, currency, credit and interest rate risks, loss experience and other factors. These fair values are estimates and involve considerable uncertainty and variability as a result of the inputs selected and may differ materially from the values that would have been used had an active market existed. As a result of market inactivity, such calculated fair value estimates may not be realizable in an immediate sale or settlement of the instrument. In addition, changes in the underlying assumptions used in the fair value measurement technique could significantly affect these fair value estimates.

Refer to Note 5 for further discussion of the methodologies used to determine fair values of the Company’s financial instruments.

Deferred Acquisition Costs
Under current accounting guidance, certain costs that are directly related to the successful acquisition of new or renewal insurance business can be capitalized as deferred acquisition costs. These costs primarily pertain to commissions and certain costs associated with policy issuance and underwriting. All other acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.

Deferred acquisition costs are increased by interest thereon and amortized into income in proportion to anticipated premium revenues for traditional life policies and in proportion to estimated gross profits, including realized gains and losses and derivative movements, for annuities and interest-sensitive life products. Due to volatility of certain factors that affect gross profits, including realized capital gains and losses and derivative movements, amortization may be a benefit

12

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2018 and 2017
 

or a charge in any given period. In the event of negative amortization, the related deferred acquisition cost balance is capped at the initial amount capitalized, plus interest. Unamortized deferred acquisition costs are written off when a contract is internally replaced and substantially changed.

As certain available for sale debt securities are carried at fair value, an adjustment is made to deferred acquisition costs equal to the change in amortization that would have occurred if such securities had been sold at their stated fair value and the proceeds reinvested at current yields. This adjustment, along with the change in net unrealized gains (losses) on available for sale debt securities, net of applicable tax, is credited or charged directly to equity as a component of other comprehensive income. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, deferred acquisition costs decreased by $26.6 million and $301.3 million, respectively, to reflect this adjustment.

For variable annuity business, the Company employs a mean reversion methodology that is applied with the objective of adjusting the amortization of deferred acquisition costs that would otherwise be highly volatile due to fluctuations in the level of future gross profits arising from changes in equity market levels.  The mean reversion methodology achieves this objective by applying a dynamic adjustment to the assumption for short-term future investment returns. Under this methodology, the projected returns for the next five years are set such that, when combined with the actual returns for the current and preceding two years, the average rate of return over the eight-year period is 7.4% for both 2018 and 2017, after investment management fees. The mean reversion methodology does, however, include a cap and a floor of 15% and 0% per annum, respectively, on the projected return for each of the next five years. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, projected returns under mean reversion were within the range bound by the 15% cap and 0% floor. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, projected returns after the next five years were set at 7.4%.

Deferred acquisition costs are reviewed periodically to ensure that the unamortized portion does not exceed the expected recoverable amounts. Any amount deemed unrecoverable is written off with a charge through deferred acquisition costs amortization. No such write-offs were required for 2018, 2017, and 2016. During 2016, certain amounts related to life products were adjusted, resulting in an additional $20.0 million in deferred acquisition cost amortization.

Deferred Sales Inducements
Under current accounting guidance, certain sales inducement costs that are directly related to the successful acquisition of new or renewal insurance business can be capitalized as deferred sales inducement costs. Bonus interest on deferred fixed annuities and contract enhancements on fixed index annuities and variable annuities are capitalized as deferred sales inducements and included in other assets. Deferred sales inducements are increased by interest thereon and amortized into income in proportion to estimated gross profits, including realized capital gains and losses and derivative movements. Due to volatility of certain factors that affect gross profits, including realized capital gains and losses and derivative movements, amortization may be a benefit or a charge in any given period. In the event of negative amortization, the related deferred sales inducements balance is capped at the initial amount capitalized, plus interest. Unamortized deferred sales inducements are written off when a contract is internally replaced and substantially changed.

As certain available for sale debt securities are carried at fair value, an adjustment is made to deferred sales inducements equal to the change in amortization that would have occurred if such securities had been sold at their stated fair value and the proceeds reinvested at current yields. This adjustment, along with the change in net unrealized gains (losses) on available for sale debt securities, net of applicable tax, is credited or charged directly to equity as a component of other comprehensive income. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, deferred sales inducements decreased by $8.7 million and $55.0 million, respectively, to reflect this adjustment.

For variable annuity business, the Company employs the same mean reversion methodology as is employed for deferred acquisition costs as described above.

Deferred sales inducements are reviewed periodically to ensure that the unamortized portion does not exceed the expected recoverable amounts. Any amount deemed unrecoverable is written off with a charge through deferred sales inducements amortization. No such write-offs were required for 2018, 2017, and 2016.

Actuarial Assumption Changes (Unlocking)
Annually, or as circumstances warrant, the Company conducts a comprehensive review of the assumptions used for its estimates of future gross profits underlying the amortization of deferred acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements, as well as the valuation of the embedded derivatives and reserves for life insurance and annuity products with living

13

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2018 and 2017
 

benefit and death benefit guarantees.  These assumptions include, but may not be limited to, policyholder behavior, mortality rates, expenses, investment returns and policy crediting rates. Based on this review, the cumulative balances of deferred acquisition costs, deferred sales inducements and life and annuity guaranteed benefit reserves are adjusted with a corresponding benefit or charge to net income. Additionally, in 2017, the Company implemented an enhancement to the method for incorporating own credit risk in the discounting of embedded derivative cash flows. The impact of the enhancement reduced reserves by $558.0 million, net of deferred acquisition costs.    

Reinsurance and Funds Held Under Reinsurance Treaties
The Company enters into assumed and ceded reinsurance agreements with other companies in the normal course of business.  Ceded reinsurance agreements are reported on a gross basis on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as an asset for amounts recoverable from reinsurers or as a component of other assets or liabilities for amounts, such as premiums, owed to or due from reinsurers.  Reinsurance assumed and ceded premiums and benefits paid or provided are accounted for on bases consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts.  Premium income and benefit expenses are reported net of reinsurance assumed and ceded.

The Company has three retrocession reinsurance agreements (“retro treaties”) with Swiss Reinsurance Company Ltd. (“SRZ”). Pursuant to these retro treaties, the Company ceded to SRZ on a 100% coinsurance basis, subject to pre-existing reinsurance with other parties, certain blocks of business.

As a result of these retro treaties, the Company holds certain assets, primarily in the form of policy loans and debt securities, as collateral for the reinsurance recoverable. Investment income and realized gains or losses earned on assets held as collateral are paid by the Company to SRZ, pursuant to the terms of the treaties. Investment income and realized gains and losses are reported net of investment income and realized gains and losses on funds held under reinsurance treaties, with no net impact on the Company’s consolidated income statements.

The income credited to SRZ on the funds held for the retro treaties is based on the income earned on those assets, which results in an embedded derivative (total return swap). However, the Company elected the fair value option for the funds held liability, which is carried at fair value with changes in fair value reported in net investment income. Accordingly, the embedded derivative is not bifurcated or separately valued.

Receivables from Affiliates
Effective December 30, 2016, the Company executed a reserve financing transaction, whereby, for statutory reporting, the risk on $319.0 million of statutory basis redundant term life reserves was transferred to a third-party reinsurer. In conjunction with the transaction, Squire Re II financed the excess reserves through a surplus note (the “Squire Surplus Note”) issued to an affiliate, Brier Capital LLC (“Brier”), in return for a note receivable from Brier (the “Financing Note”). Quarterly interest payments due under the Financing Note and the Squire Surplus Note are offset against each other and only the net amounts are due. The outstanding principal on the Financing Note and the Squire Surplus Note, each initially $344.0 million, are expected to increase or decrease in relation to changes in the excess reserves financed. The Financing Note, reported in Receivables from Affiliates, matures December 30, 2031 and bears interest at 4.00%. The outstanding balance of both the Financing Note and the Squire Surplus Note was $283.8 million and $307.4 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Jackson provides a revolving credit facility to Jackson Holdings, LLC, an upstream holding company. The outstanding balance at December 31, 2018 and 2017 was nil and $1.5 million, respectively.

Value of Business Acquired
The Company has an intangible asset representing the value of business acquired (“VOBA”), which is included in other assets. In connection with the acquisition of insurance policies and investment contracts in the acquisition of a business, a portion of the purchase price is assigned to the right to receive future gross profits from the acquired insurance policies and investment contracts. This intangible asset, or VOBA, represents the actuarially estimated present value of future cash flows from the acquired policies. The Company established a VOBA intangible asset for previously acquired traditional life insurance products and deferred annuity contracts. This intangible asset is amortized over the life of the business, which approximates 20 years. The unamortized VOBA balance is subject to recoverability testing at the end of each reporting period to ensure that the balance does not exceed the present value of anticipated gross profits.

Income Taxes
The Company files income tax returns with the U.S. federal government and various state and local jurisdictions, as well as certain foreign jurisdictions.

Jackson files a consolidated federal income tax return with Brooke Life, Jackson National Life Insurance Company of New York and, Squire Re II. Jackson National Life (Bermuda) LTD and VFL International Life Company SPC, LTD are taxed as controlled foreign corporations of Jackson. With the exception of several insignificant wholly owned subsidiaries that are not included in the Jackson consolidated tax return, all other subsidiaries are limited liability companies with all of their interests owned by Jackson. Accordingly, they are not considered separate entities for income tax purposes and, therefore, are taxed as part of the operations of Jackson. Income tax expense is the lesser of the amount calculated on a separate company basis or Jackson’s pro-rata share of the actual liability as determined under the consolidated return taking into account only Jackson and Brooke Life.

Deferred federal income taxes arise from the recognition of temporary differences between the basis of assets and liabilities determined for financial reporting purposes and the basis determined for income tax purposes. Such temporary differences are principally related to the effects of recording certain invested assets at market value, the deferral of acquisition costs and sales inducements and the provisions for future policy benefits and expenses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates expected to be in effect when such benefits are realized. Jackson is required to test the value of deferred tax assets for realizability. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In determining the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers the carryback eligibility of losses, reversal of existing temporary differences, estimated future taxable income and tax planning strategies.

The determination of the valuation allowance for Jackson’s deferred tax assets requires management to make certain judgments and assumptions regarding future operations that are based on historical experience and expectations of future performance. In order to recognize a tax benefit in the consolidated financial statements, there must be a greater than fifty percent chance of success of the Company’s position being sustained by the relevant taxing authority with regard to that tax position. Management’s judgments are potentially subject to change given the inherent uncertainty in predicting future performance, which is impacted by such factors as policyholder behavior, competitor pricing and other specific industry and market conditions.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of tax expense.
   
Reserves for Future Policy Benefits and Claims Payable and Other Contract Holder Funds
For traditional life insurance contracts, which include term and whole life, reserves for future policy benefits are determined using the net level premium method and assumptions as of the issue date or acquisition date as to mortality, interest, persistency and expenses, plus provisions for adverse deviations. These assumptions are not unlocked unless the reserve is determined to be deficient. Interest rate assumptions range from 2.5% to 6.0%. Lapse, mortality, and expense assumptions are based primarily on Company experience. The Company’s liability for future policy benefits also includes net liabilities for guaranteed benefits related to certain nontraditional long-duration life and annuity contracts, which are further discussed in Note 9.

Group payout annuities consist of a closed block of defined benefit annuity plans. The liability for future benefits for these limited payment contracts is calculated using assumptions as of the acquisition date as to mortality and expense plus provisions for adverse deviation.

In conjunction with a prior acquisition, the Company recorded a fair value adjustment related to certain annuity and interest sensitive liability blocks of business to reflect the cost of the interest guarantees within the inforce liabilities, based on the difference between the guaranteed interest rate and an assumed new money guaranteed interest rate. This adjustment was recorded in reserves for future policy benefits and claims payable. This component of the acquired reserves is reassessed at the end of each period, taking into account changes in the inforce block. Any resulting change in the reserve is recorded as a change in policy reserve through the consolidated income statements.

For the Company’s interest-sensitive life contracts, liabilities approximate the policyholder’s account value, plus the remaining balance of the fair value adjustment related to previously acquired business. For fixed deferred annuities, the liability is the policyholder’s account value, plus the unamortized balance of the above mentioned fair value adjustment. For the fixed option on variable annuities, guaranteed investment contracts and other investment contracts, the liability is the policyholder’s account value. The liability for fixed index annuities is based on three components, 1) the imputed value of the underlying guaranteed host contract, 2) the fair value of the embedded option component of the contract and 3) the liability for guaranteed benefits related to the optional lifetime income rider.

The Company has formed both a special purpose vehicle and a statutory business trust, solely for the purpose of issuing Medium Term Note instruments to institutional investors, the proceeds of which are deposited with the Company and secured by the issuance of funding agreements.

Those Medium Term Note instruments issued in a foreign currency have been economically hedged for changes in exchange rates using cross-currency swaps. The fair value of derivatives embedded in funding agreements, including unrealized foreign currency gains and losses, are included in the carrying value of the trust instruments supported by funding agreements.

Trust instrument liabilities are adjusted to reflect the effects of foreign currency gains and losses using exchange rates as of the reporting date. Foreign currency gains and losses are included in other net investment losses.

Jackson and Squire Re are members of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (“FHLBI”) primarily for the purpose of participating in the bank’s mortgage-collateralized loan advance program with short-term and long-term funding facilities. Members are required to purchase and hold a minimum amount of FHLBI capital stock, plus additional stock based on outstanding advances. Advances are in the form of short-term or long-term notes or funding agreements issued to FHLBI.

The Company’s institutional products business is comprised of the guaranteed investment contracts, funding agreements and FHLBI funding agreement advances described above.

Contingent Liabilities
The Company is a party to legal actions and, at times, regulatory investigations. Given the inherent unpredictability of these matters, it is difficult to estimate their impact on the Company’s financial position. A reserve is established for contingent liabilities if it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount is reasonably estimable. It is possible that an adverse outcome in certain of the Company’s contingent liabilities, or the use of different assumptions in the determination of amounts recorded, could have a material effect upon the Company’s financial position. However, it is the opinion of management that the ultimate disposition of contingent liabilities is unlikely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position.

Separate Account Assets and Liabilities
The Company maintains separate account assets, which are reported at fair value.  The related liabilities are reported at an amount equivalent to the separate account assets.  At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the assets and liabilities associated with variable life and annuity contracts were $163.3 billion and $176.6 billion, respectively.  Investment risks associated with market value changes are borne by the contract holders, except to the extent of minimum guarantees made by the Company.  Refer to Note 9 for additional information regarding the Company’s contractual guarantees.  Separate account net investment income, net investment realized and unrealized gains and losses, and the related liability changes are offset within the same line item in the consolidated income statements. Amounts assessed against the contract holders for mortality, variable annuity benefit guarantees, administrative, and other services are reported in revenue as fee income. 

Included in the above mentioned assets and liabilities is a Company issued group variable annuity contract designed for use in connection with and issued to the Company’s Defined Contribution Retirement Plan. These deposits are allocated to the Jackson National Separate Account - II, which had balances of $251.6 million and $267.7 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company receives administrative fees for managing the funds. These fees are recorded as earned and included in fee income in the consolidated income statements.

Debt
Liabilities for the Company’s debt are primarily carried at an amount equal to the unpaid principal balance.  Original issuance discount or premium and any debt issue costs, if applicable, are recognized as a component of interest expense over the period the debt is expected to be outstanding.  Refer to Note 10 for further information regarding the Company’s debt. 

Share-Based Compensation
As more fully described in Note 14, the Company has certain share award plans that are either equity settled or liability settled. The Company recognizes compensation expense based on a grant-date award fair value, ratably over the requisite service period of each individual grant, which generally equals the vesting period. Additional compensation expense is recognized based on the change in fair value of the award at the end of each reporting period.

Revenue and Expense Recognition
Premiums for traditional life insurance are reported as revenues when due. Benefits, claims and expenses are associated with earned revenues in order to recognize profit over the lives of the contracts. This association is accomplished through provisions for future policy benefits and the deferral and amortization of certain acquisition costs.

Deposits on interest-sensitive life products and investment contracts, principally deferred annuities and guaranteed investment contracts, are treated as policyholder deposits and excluded from revenue. Revenues consist primarily of investment income and charges assessed against the account value for mortality charges, surrenders, variable annuity benefit guarantees and administrative expenses. Fee income also includes revenues related to asset management fees and certain service fees. Surrender benefits are treated as repayments of the policy holder account. Annuity benefit payments are treated as reductions to the policyholder account. Death benefits in excess of the policyholder account are recognized as an expense when incurred. Expenses consist primarily of the interest credited to policyholder deposits. Underwriting and other direct acquisition expenses are associated with gross profit in order to recognize profit over the life of the business. This is accomplished through deferral and amortization of acquisition costs and sales inducements. Expenses not related to policy acquisition are recognized when incurred.

Investment income is not accrued on securities in default and otherwise where the collection is uncertain. In these cases, receipts of interest on such securities are used to reduce the cost basis of the securities.

Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated events through March 7, 2019, which is the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

Investments are comprised primarily of fixed-income securities and loans, primarily publicly-traded corporate and government bonds, asset-backed securities and commercial mortgage loans. Asset-backed securities include mortgage-backed and other structured securities. The Company generates the majority of its general account deposits from interest-sensitive individual annuity contracts, life insurance products and guaranteed investment contracts on which it has committed to pay a declared rate of interest. The Company's strategy of investing in fixed-income securities and loans aims to ensure matching of the asset yield with the amounts credited to the interest-sensitive liabilities and to earn a stable return on its investments.

Debt Securities
The following table sets forth the composition of the fair value of debt securities at December 31, 2018, classified by rating categories as assigned by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (“NRSRO”), the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”), or if not rated by such organizations, the Company’s affiliated investment advisor. At December 31, 2018, the carrying value of investments rated by the Company’s affiliated investment advisor totaled $303.9 million. For purposes of the table, if not otherwise rated higher by a NRSRO, NAIC Class 1 investments are included in the A rating; Class 2 in BBB; Class 3 in BB and Classes 4 through 6 in B and below.

At December 31, 2018, based on ratings by NRSROs, of the total carrying value of debt securities in an unrealized loss position, 86% were investment grade, 3% were below investment grade and 11% were not rated. Unrealized losses on debt securities that were below investment grade or not rated were approximately 16% of the aggregate gross unrealized losses on available for sale debt securities.

Corporate securities in an unrealized loss position were diversified across industries. As of December 31, 2018, the industries accounting for the larger percentage of unrealized losses included energy (12% of corporate gross unrealized losses) and banking (12%). The largest unrealized loss related to a single corporate obligor was $15 million at December 31, 2018.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairments on Available For Sale Securities
The Company periodically reviews its available for sale debt securities on a case-by-case basis to determine if any decline in fair value to below cost or amortized cost is other-than-temporary. Factors considered in determining whether a decline is other-than-temporary include the length of time a security has been in an unrealized loss position, the severity of the unrealized loss and the reasons for the decline in value and expectations for the amount and timing of a recovery in fair value.

21

Jackson National Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2018 and 2017
 

Securities the Company determines are underperforming or potential problem securities are subject to regular review. To facilitate the review, securities with significant declines in value, or where other objective criteria evidencing credit deterioration have been met, are included on a watch list. Among the criteria for securities to be included on a watch list are: credit deterioration that has led to a significant decline in fair value of the security; a significant covenant related to the security has been breached; or an issuer has filed or indicated a possibility of filing for bankruptcy, has missed or announced it intends to miss a scheduled interest or principal payment, or has experienced a specific material adverse change that may impair its creditworthiness.

In performing these reviews, the Company considers the relevant facts and circumstances relating to each investment and exercises considerable judgment in determining whether a security is other-than-temporarily impaired. Assessment factors include judgments about an obligor’s current and projected financial position, an issuer’s current and projected ability to service and repay its debt obligations, the existence of, and realizable value of, any collateral backing the obligations and the macro-economic and micro-economic outlooks for specific industries and issuers. This assessment may also involve assumptions regarding underlying collateral such as prepayment rates, default and recovery rates, and third-party servicing capabilities.

Among the specific factors considered are whether the decline in fair value results from a change in the credit quality of the security itself, or from a downward movement in the market as a whole, and the likelihood of recovering the carrying value based on the near-term prospects of the issuer. Unrealized losses that are considered to be primarily the result of market conditions (e.g., minor increases in interest rates, temporary market illiquidity or volatility, or industry-related events) and where the Company also believes there exists a reasonable expectation for recovery in the near term are usually determined to be temporary. To the extent that factors contributing to impairment losses recognized affect other investments, such investments are also reviewed for other-than-temporary impairment and losses are recorded when appropriate.

In addition to the review procedures described above, investments in asset-backed securities where market prices are depressed are subject to a review of their future estimated cash flows, including expected and stress case scenarios, to identify potential shortfalls in contractual payments. These estimated cash flows are developed using available performance indicators from the underlying assets including current and projected default or delinquency rates, levels of credit enhancement, current subordination levels, vintage, expected loss severity and other relevant characteristics. These estimates reflect a combination of data derived by third parties and internally developed assumptions. Where possible, this data is benchmarked against third-party sources.

Even in the case of severely depressed market values on asset-backed securities, the Company places significant reliance on the results of its cash flow testing and its lack of an intent to sell these securities until their fair values recover when reaching other-than-temporary impairment conclusions with regard to these securities. Other-than-temporary impairment charges are recorded on asset-backed securities when the Company forecasts a contractual payment shortfall.

The Company recognizes other-than-temporary impairments on debt securities in an unrealized loss position when any of the following circumstances exists:

The Company does not expect full recovery of the amortized cost based on the discounted cash flows estimated to be collected;
The Company intends to sell a security; or,
It is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell a security prior to recovery.

For mortgage-backed securities, credit impairment is assessed using a cash flow model that estimates the cash flows on the underlying mortgages, using the security-specific collateral characteristics and transaction structure. The model estimates cash flows from the underlying mortgage loans and distributes those cash flows to various tranches of securities, considering the transaction structure and any subordination and credit enhancements existing in that structure. The cash flow model incorporates actual cash flows on the mortgage-backed securities through the current period and then projects the remaining cash flows using a number of assumptions, including prepayment speeds, default rates and loss severity.

Specifically for prime and Alt-A RMBS, the assumed default percentage is dependent on the severity of delinquency status, with foreclosures and real estate owned receiving higher rates, but also includes the currently performing loans. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, assumed default rates for delinquent loans ranged from 15% to 100%. At December 31,

22

Jackson National Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2018 and 2017
 

2018 and 2017, assumed loss severities were applied to generate and analyze cash flows of each security and ranged from 25% to 70%.

These estimates reflect a combination of data derived by third parties and internally developed assumptions. Where possible, this data is benchmarked against other third-party sources. In addition, these estimates are extrapolated along a default timing curve to estimate the total lifetime pool default rate.

Other-than-temporary impairments are calculated as the difference between amortized cost and fair value. For other-than-temporarily impaired securities where Jackson does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that Jackson will be required to sell the security prior to recovery, total other-than-temporary impairments are reduced by the non-credit portion of the other-than-temporary impairments, which are recognized in other comprehensive income. The resultant net other-than-temporary impairments recorded in net income reflect only the credit loss on the other-than-temporarily impaired securities. The amortized cost of the other-than-temporarily impaired securities is reduced by the amount of this credit loss.

For securities that were deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired and for which a non-credit loss was recorded in other comprehensive income, the amount recorded as an unrealized gain (loss) represents the difference between the fair value and the new amortized cost basis of the securities. The unrealized gain (loss) on other-than-temporarily impaired securities is recorded in other comprehensive income.

There are inherent uncertainties in assessing the fair values assigned to the Company’s investments and in determining whether a decline in fair value is other-than-temporary. The Company’s reviews of net present value and fair value involve several criteria including economic conditions, credit loss experience, other issuer-specific developments and estimated future cash flows. These assessments are based on the best available information at the time. Factors such as market liquidity, the widening of bid/ask spreads and a change in the cash flow assumptions can contribute to future price volatility. If actual experience differs negatively from the assumptions and other considerations used in the consolidated financial statements, unrealized losses currently reported in accumulated other comprehensive income may be recognized in the consolidated income statements in future periods.

The Company currently has no intent to sell debt securities with unrealized losses considered to be temporary until they mature or recover in value and believes that it has the ability to do so. However, if the specific facts and circumstances surrounding an individual security, or the outlook for its industry sector change, the Company may sell the security prior to its maturity or recovery and realize a loss.

Equity Securities
At December 31, 2018 and 2017, investments in limited partnerships had carrying values of $1,276.3 million and $1,141.1 million, respectively.

In 2017, the Company funded PPM Loan Holding Management Company, LLC, an affiliated investment entity facilitating the issuance of collateralized loan obligations. At December 31, 2018, the Company’s investment in PPM Loan Holding Management Company, LLC had a carrying value of $96.6 million and was included in equity securities.

Limited Partnerships and Limited Liability Companies
The Company invests in certain limited partnerships (“LPs”) and limited liability companies (“LLCs”) that it has concluded are VIEs. Based on the analysis of these entities, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the VIEs as it does not have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. In addition, the Company does not have the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the entities.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s investments in the LPs and LLCs are recognized in equity securities on the consolidated balance sheets. Unfunded commitments for these investments are detailed in Note 13. The Company’s exposure to loss is limited to the capital invested and unfunded commitments related to the LPs and LLCs.

Mutual Funds
The Company invests in certain mutual funds that it has concluded are VIEs. Based on the analysis of these entities, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the VIEs.

Mutual funds for which the Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance are recognized in equity securities on the consolidated balance sheets and were $56.7 million and nil at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

December 31, 2018 and 2017
 

Mutual funds for which the Company does not have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the entities are recognized in equity securities on the consolidated balance sheets and were $50.9 million and $7.8 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Structured Securities
The Company makes investments in structured debt securities issued by VIEs for which it is not the manager. These structured securities include RMBS, CMBS, and ABS. The Company has not provided financial or other support with respect to these VIEs other than the original investment. The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs due to the relative size of the investment in comparison to the principal amount of the structured debt securities issued by the VIEs and the level of credit subordination that reduces the Company’s obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the entities. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss on these structured debt securities is limited to the amortized cost for these investments. The Company recognizes the variable interest in these VIEs at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets.

Commercial Mortgage Loans
Commercial mortgage loans of $9.4 billion and $8.4 billion at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, are reported net of an allowance for loan losses of $5.4 million and $6.8 million at each date, respectively. At December 31, 2018, commercial mortgage loans were collateralized by properties located in 42 states. Jackson’s commercial mortgage loan portfolio does not include single-family residential mortgage loans, and is therefore not exposed to the risk of defaults associated with residential subprime mortgage loans. Jackson periodically reviews these loans for impairment. During 2018 and 2017, Jackson recognized impairment charges against the allowance for loan losses of $1.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

The following table provides a summary of the allowance for losses in the Company’s commercial mortgage loan portfolio at December 31, 2018 and 2017 (in thousands):

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, there were no commercial mortgage loans involved in troubled debt restructuring.

Securitizations
In 2001, Jackson executed the Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Capital I, Series 2001-PPM (“MSDW”) securitization transaction, contributing commercial mortgages to MSDW and retaining a beneficial interest. Effective January 1, 2010, as a result of adoption of accounting guidance on certain investment funds, the Company was deemed to be the primary beneficiary of MSDW and, therefore, consolidated MSDW. Effective February 13, 2017, Jackson purchased the underlying commercial mortgage loans at fair value, and MSDW was dissolved.

Other Invested Assets
Other invested assets primarily include investments in Federal Home Loan Bank capital stock and real estate. At both December 31, 2018 and 2017, Federal Home Loan Bank capital stock had carrying value of $125.4 million. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, real estate totaling $263.8 million and $228.8 million, respectively, included foreclosed properties with a book value of $0.7 million in both 2018 and 2017.

Securities Lending
The Company has entered into securities lending agreements with agent banks whereby blocks of securities are loaned to third parties, primarily major brokerage firms. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the estimated fair value of loaned securities was $41.9 million and $67.5 million, respectively. The agreements require a minimum of 102 percent of the fair value of the loaned securities to be held as collateral, calculated on a daily basis. To further minimize the credit risks related to these programs, the financial condition of counterparties is monitored on a regular basis. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, cash collateral received in the amount of $43.5 million and $69.8 million, respectively, was invested by the agent banks and included in cash and cash equivalents of the Company. A securities lending payable for the overnight and continuous loans is included in liabilities in the amount of cash collateral received.

Securities lending transactions are used to generate income. Income and expenses associated with these transactions are reported as net investment income.
    
Repurchase Agreements    
The Company routinely enters into repurchase agreements whereby the Company agrees to sell and repurchase securities. These agreements are accounted for as financing transactions, with the assets and associated liabilities included in the

27

Jackson National Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2018 and 2017
 

consolidated balance sheets. During 2018 and 2017, short-term borrowings under such agreements averaged $369.0 million and $474.3 million, respectively, with weighted average interest rates of 1.85% and 0.90% during 2018 and 2017, respectively. At both December 31, 2018 and 2017, the outstanding repurchase agreement balance was nil, collateralized with US Treasury notes and maturing within 30 days, and was included within other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. In the event of a decline in the fair value of the pledged collateral under these agreements, the Company may be required to transfer cash or additional securities as pledged collateral. Interest expense totaled $6.8 million, $4.3 million, and $1.2 million in 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively. The highest level of short-term borrowings at any month end was $1,009.9 million in 2018 and $804.9 million in 2017.

Unrealized gains included in investment income that were recognized on equity securities held were $169.9 million, $146.2 million, and $176.1 million, respectively, at December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016. Investment (loss) income of ($0.6) million, $0.6 million, and $2.6 million was recognized on securities carried at fair value recorded through income at December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively.

During 2018, investment income was reduced by $310.6 million for expense incurred on the liability for funds held under reinsurance treaties, including $307.2 million on policy loans, $3.2 million of debt security income, $0.6 million loss on debt securities with fair value recorded through the consolidated income statement, and $0.8 million of income from other invested assets. During 2017, investment income was reduced by $322.8 million for expense incurred on the liability for funds held under reinsurance treaties, including $320.1 million on policy loans, $2.4 million of debt security income, $0.4 million loss on debt securities with fair value recorded through the consolidated income statement, and $0.7 million of income from other invested assets. During 2016, investment income was reduced by $318.2 million for expense incurred on the liability for funds held under reinsurance treaties, including $313.8 million on policy loans, $2.4 million of debt security income, $1.7 million gain on debt securities with fair value recorded through the consolidated income statement, and $0.3 million of income from other invested assets.

4.
Derivative Instruments

Jackson’s business model includes the acceptance, monitoring and mitigation of risk. Specifically, Jackson considers, among other factors, exposures to interest rate and equity market movements, foreign exchange rates and other asset or liability prices. The Company uses derivative instruments to mitigate or reduce these risks in accordance with established policies and goals. Jackson’s derivative holdings, while effective in managing defined risks, are not structured to meet accounting requirements to be designated as hedging instruments. As a result, freestanding derivatives are carried at fair value with changes recorded in other net investment losses.

Cross-currency swaps, which embody spot and forward currency swaps and, in some cases, interest rate and equity index swaps, are entered into for the purpose of hedging the Company issued foreign currency denominated trust instruments supported by funding agreements. Cross-currency swaps serve to hedge foreign currency exchange risk embedded in the funding agreements and are carried at fair value. The fair value of derivatives embedded in funding agreements, including

28

Jackson National Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2018 and 2017
 

unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses, are included in the carrying value of the trust instruments supported by funding agreements. Foreign currency translation gains and losses associated with funding agreement hedging activities are included in other net investment losses.

Credit default swaps, with maturities up to five years, are agreements where the Company has purchased default protection on certain underlying corporate bonds held in its portfolio. These contracts allow the Company to sell the protected bonds at par value to the counterparty if a defined “default event” occurs, in exchange for periodic payments made by the Company for the life of the agreement. Credit default swaps are carried at fair value. The Company does not currently sell default protection using credit default swaps or other similar derivative instruments.

Put-swaption contracts provide the purchaser with the right, but not the obligation, to require the writer to pay the present value of a long-term interest rate swap at future exercise dates. The Company purchases and writes put-swaptions for hedging purposes with original maturities of up to 10 years. Put-swaptions hedge against movements in interest rates. Written put-swaptions may be entered into in conjunction with associated put-swaptions purchased from the same counterparties, referred to as linked put-swaptions. Linked put-swaptions have identical notional amounts and strike prices, but have different underlying swap terms. Linked put-swaptions are presented at the fair value of the net position for each pair of contracts. Non-linked put-swaptions are carried at fair value.

Equity index futures contracts and equity index options (including various call and put options, interest rate-contingent options, currency-contingent options, and put spreads), which are used to hedge the Company’s equity risk, including obligations associated with its fixed index annuities and guarantees in variable annuity products, are carried at fair value. These insurance products contain embedded options whose fair values are reported in other contract holder funds and reserves for future policy benefits and claims payable.

Total return swaps, for which the Company receives returns based on reference pools of assets in exchange for short-term floating rate payments based on notional amounts, are held for both hedging and investment purposes, and are carried at fair value.

Interest rate swap agreements used for hedging purposes generally involve the exchange of fixed and floating payments based on a notional contract amount over the period for which the agreement remains outstanding without an exchange of the underlying notional amount. Interest rate swaps are carried at fair value.

Treasury futures contracts are used to hedge movements in interest rates and are carried at fair value.

Jackson National Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2018 and 2017
 

All of Jackson’s trade agreements for freestanding, over-the-counter derivatives contain credit downgrade provisions that allow a party to assign or terminate derivative transactions if the counterparty’s credit rating declines below an established limit. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the fair value of Jackson’s net derivative assets by counterparty were $544.6 million and $2,172.5 million, respectively, and held collateral was $669.1 million and $2,574.8 million respectively, related to these agreements. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the fair value of Jackson’s net derivative liabilities by counterparty was $138.4 million and nil, respectively, and provided collateral was $133.2 million and nil, respectively, related to these agreements. If all of the downgrade provisions had been triggered at December 31, 2018 or 2017, in aggregate, Jackson would have had to disburse $129.6 million and $402.2 million, respectively, to counterparties, representing the net fair values of derivatives by counterparty, less collateral held.

Offsetting Assets and Liabilities
The Company’s derivative instruments, repurchase agreements and securities lending agreements are subject to master netting arrangements and collateral arrangements. A master netting arrangement with a counterparty creates a right of offset for amounts due to and due from that same counterparty that is enforceable in the event of a default or bankruptcy. The Company recognizes amounts subject to master netting arrangements on a gross basis within the consolidated balance sheets.

The following tables present the gross and net information about the Company’s financial instruments subject to master netting arrangements (in thousands):

The following is a discussion of the methodologies used to determine fair values of the financial instruments measured on both a recurring and nonrecurring basis reported in the following tables.

Debt and Equity Securities
The fair values for debt and equity securities (excluding limited partnerships, further described below) are determined using information available from independent pricing services, broker-dealer quotes, or internally derived estimates. Priority is given to publicly available prices from independent sources, when available. Securities for which the independent pricing service does not provide a quotation are either submitted to independent broker-dealers for prices or priced internally. Typical inputs used by these three pricing methods include, but are not limited to, reported trades, benchmark yields, credit spreads, liquidity premiums and/or estimated cash flows based on default and prepayment assumptions.

As a result of typical trading volumes and the lack of specific quoted market prices for most debt securities, independent pricing services will normally derive the security prices through recently reported trades for identical or similar securities, making adjustments through the reporting date based upon available market observable information as outlined above. If there are no recently reported trades, the independent pricing services and broker-dealers may use matrix or pricing model processes to develop a security price where future cash flow expectations are developed based upon collateral

33

Jackson National Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2018 and 2017
 

performance and discounted at relevant market rates. Certain securities are priced using broker-dealer quotes, which may utilize proprietary inputs and models. Additionally, the majority of these quotes are non-binding.

Included in the pricing of asset-backed securities are estimates of the rate of future prepayments of principal over the remaining life of the securities. Such estimates are derived based on the characteristics of the underlying structure and prepayment assumptions believed to be relevant for the underlying collateral. Actual prepayment experience may vary from these estimates.

Internally derived estimates may be used to develop a fair value for securities for which the Company is unable to obtain either a reliable price from an independent pricing service or a suitable broker-dealer quote. These fair value estimates may incorporate Level 2 and Level 3 inputs and are generally derived using expected future cash flows, discounted at market interest rates available from market sources based on the credit quality and duration of the instrument. For securities that may not be reliably priced using these internally developed pricing models, a fair value may be estimated using indicative market prices. These prices are indicative of an exit price, but the assumptions used to establish the fair value may not be observable or corroborated by market observable information and, therefore, represent Level 3 inputs.

The Company performs a monthly analysis on the prices and credit spreads received from third parties to ensure that the prices represent a reasonable estimate of the fair value. This process involves quantitative and qualitative analysis and is overseen by investment and accounting professionals. Examples of procedures performed include, but are not limited to, initial and ongoing review of third party pricing service methodologies, review of pricing statistics and trends, back testing recent trades and monitoring of trading volumes. In addition, the Company considers whether prices received from independent broker-dealers represent a reasonable estimate of fair value through the use of internal and external cash flow models, which are developed based on spreads and, when available, market indices. As a result of this analysis, if the Company determines there is a more appropriate fair value based upon the available market data, the price received from the third party may be adjusted accordingly.

For those securities that were internally valued at December 31, 2018 and 2017, the pricing model used by the Company utilizes current spread levels of similarly rated securities to determine the market discount rate for the security.  Furthermore, appropriate risk premiums for illiquidity and non-performance are incorporated in the discount rate.  Cash flows, as estimated by the Company using issuer-specific default statistics and prepayment assumptions, are discounted to determine an estimated fair value. 

On an ongoing basis, the Company reviews the independent pricing services’ valuation methodologies and related inputs, and evaluates the various types of securities in its investment portfolio to determine an appropriate fair value hierarchy distribution based upon trading activity and the observability of market inputs. Based on the results of this evaluation, each price is classified into Level 1, 2, or 3. Most prices provided by independent pricing services, including broker-dealer quotes, are classified into Level 2 due to their use of market observable inputs.

Limited Partnerships
Fair value for limited partnership interests, which are included in equity securities, is generally determined using the proportion of Jackson’s investment in each fund (“NAV equivalent”) as a practical expedient for fair value. No adjustments to these amounts were deemed necessary at December 31, 2018 or 2017. As a result of using the net asset value per share practical expedient, limited partnership interests are not classified in the fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s limited partnership interests are not redeemable and distributions received are generally the result of liquidation of the underlying assets of the partnerships. The term of Jackson’s interest in the partnerships is generally ten years, but may be extended for a period of time under provisions within the partnership agreements, if applicable. The Company generally has the ability under the partnership agreements to sell its interest to another limited partner with the prior written consent of the general partner. In cases when the Company expects to sell the limited partnership interest, the estimated sales price is used to determine the fair value. These limited partnership interests are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Commercial Mortgage Loans
Fair values are generally determined by discounting expected future cash flows at current market interest rates, inclusive of a credit spread, for similar quality loans. For loans whose value is dependent upon the underlying property, fair value is determined to be the estimated value of the collateral. Certain characteristics considered significant in determining the

34

Jackson National Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2018 and 2017
 

spread or collateral value may be based on internally developed estimates. As a result, these investments have been classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

Policy Loans
Policy loans are funds provided to policyholders in return for a claim on the policies values and function like demand deposits which are redeemable upon repayment, death or surrender, and there is only one market price at which the transaction could be settled - the then current carrying value.  The funds provided are limited to the cash surrender value of the underlying policy.  The nature of policy loans is to have a negligible default risk as the loans are fully collateralized by the value of the policy.  Policy loans do not have a stated maturity and the balances and accrued interest are repaid either by the policyholder or with proceeds from the policy.  Due to the collateralized nature of policy loans and unpredictable timing of payments, the Company believes the carrying value of policy loans approximates fair value.

FHLBI Capital Stock
FHLBI capital stock, which is included in other invested assets, can only be sold to FHLBI at a constant price of $100 per share. Due to the lack of valuation uncertainty, the investment has been classified as Level 1.

Freestanding Derivative Instruments
Freestanding derivative instruments are reported at fair value, which reflects the estimated amounts, net of payment accruals, which the Company would receive or pay upon sale or termination of the contracts at the reporting date. Changes in fair value are included in other net investment losses. Freestanding derivatives priced using third party pricing services incorporate inputs that are predominantly observable in the market. Inputs used to value derivatives include, but are not limited to, interest rate swap curves, credit spreads, interest rates, counterparty credit risk, equity volatility and equity index levels.

Freestanding derivative instruments classified as Level 1 include futures, which are traded on active exchanges. Freestanding derivative instruments classified as Level 2 include interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps, credit default swaps, put-swaptions and certain equity index call and put options. These derivative valuations are determined by third-party pricing services using pricing models with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. Freestanding derivative instruments classified as Level 3 include interest rate contingent options that are valued by third-party pricing services utilizing significant unobservable inputs.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents primarily include money market instruments and bank deposits. Certain money market instruments are valued using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and are classified as Level 1.

Receivables from Affiliates
The Company’s receivables from affiliates are set equal to the carrying value and are classified as Level 3.

Separate Account Assets and Liabilities
Separate account assets are comprised of investments in mutual funds that transact regularly, but do not trade in active markets as they are not publically available, and are categorized as Level 2 assets. The values of separate account liabilities are set equal to the values of separate account assets.

Other Contract Holder Funds
Fair values for immediate annuities without mortality features are derived by discounting the future estimated cash flows using current market interest rates for similar maturities. Fair values for deferred annuities, including fixed index annuities, are determined using projected future cash flows discounted at current market interest rates.

The fair value of the fixed index annuities embedded option, incorporating such factors as the volatility of returns, the level of interest rates and the time remaining until the option expires, is calculated using the closed form Black-Scholes Option Pricing model or Monte Carlo simulations, as appropriate for the type of option. Additionally, assumed withdrawal rates are used to estimate the expected volume of embedded options that will be realized by policyholders.

Fair values for guaranteed investment contracts are based on the present value of future cash flows discounted at current market interest rates.


35

Jackson National Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2018 and 2017
 

Fair values for trust instruments supported by funding agreements are based on the present value of future cash flows discounted at current market interest rates, plus the fair value of any embedded derivatives that are not required to be reported separately.

Fair values of the FHLBI funding agreements are based on the present value of future cash flows discounted at current market interest rates.

Funds Held Under Reinsurance Treaties
The fair value of the funds held is equal to the fair value of the assets held as collateral, which primarily consist of policy loans and debt securities.

Debt
Fair values for the Company’s surplus notes and other long-term debt are generally determined by prices obtained from independent broker dealers or discounted cash flow models.  Such prices are derived from market observable inputs and are classified as Level 2.  The Squire Surplus Note is set equal to the carrying value and is classified as Level 3.

Securities Lending Payable
The Company’s securities lending payable is set equal to the cash collateral received. Due to the short-term nature of the loans, carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value and is classified as Level 2.

Repurchase Agreements
Carrying value of the Company’s repurchase agreements, which are included in other liabilities, is considered a reasonable estimate of fair value due to their short-term maturities and are classified as Level 2.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances
Carrying value of the Company’s Federal Home Loan Bank advances, which are included in other liabilities, is considered a reasonable estimate of fair value due to their short-term maturities and are classified as Level 2.

Certain Guaranteed Benefits
Variable annuity contracts issued by the Company offer various guaranteed minimum death, withdrawal, income and accumulation benefits. Certain benefits, primarily non-life contingent components of guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits (“GMWB”), guaranteed minimum accumulation benefits (“GMAB”) and the reinsurance recoverable on the Company’s guaranteed minimum income benefits (“GMIB”), are recorded at fair value. Guaranteed benefits that are not subject to fair value accounting are accounted for as insurance benefits.

Non-life contingent components of GMWBs and GMABs are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in other net investment losses. The fair value of the reserve is based on the expectations of future benefit payments and certain future fees associated with the benefits. At the inception of the contract, the Company attributes to the embedded derivative a portion of rider fees collected from the contract holder, which is then held static in future valuations. Those fees, generally referred to as the attributed fees, are set such that the present value of the attributed fees is equal to the present value of future claims expected to be paid under the guaranteed benefit at the inception of the contract. In subsequent valuations, both the present value of future benefits and the present value of attributed fees are revalued based on current market conditions and policyholder behavior assumptions. The difference between each of the two components represents the fair value of the embedded derivative. Jackson discontinued offering the GMAB in 2011.

Jackson’s GMIB book is reinsured through an unrelated party and, due to the net settlement provisions of the reinsurance agreement, this contract meets the definition of a derivative. Accordingly, the GMIB reinsurance agreement is recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in other net investment losses. Due to the inability to economically reinsure or hedge new issues of the GMIB, the Company discontinued offering the benefit in 2009.

Fair values for GMWB and GMAB embedded derivatives, as well as GMIB reinsurance recoverables, are calculated using internally developed models because active, observable markets do not exist for those guaranteed benefits.

The fair value calculation is based on the present value of future cash flows comprised of future expected benefit payments, less future attributed rider fees, over the lives of the contracts. Estimating these cash flows requires numerous estimates and subjective judgments related to capital market inputs, as well as actuarially determined assumptions related

36

Jackson National Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2018 and 2017
 

to expectations concerning policyholder behavior. Capital market inputs include expected market rates of return, market volatility, correlations of market index returns to funds, fund performance and discount rates. The more significant actuarial assumptions include benefit utilization by policyholders, persistency, mortality, and withdrawal rates. Best estimate assumptions plus risk margins are used as applicable.

At each valuation date, the Company assumes expected returns based on the greater of LIBOR swap rates and constant maturity treasury rates as of that date to determine the value of expected future cash flows produced in a stochastic process. Volatility assumptions are based on a weighting of available market data for implied market volatility for durations up to 10 years, grading to a historical volatility level by year 15, where such long-term historical volatility levels contain an explicit risk margin. Additionally, non-performance risk is incorporated into the calculation through the use of discount rates based on a AA corporate credit curve as an approximation of Jackson’s own credit risk. Risk margins are also incorporated into the model assumptions, particularly for policyholder behavior. Estimates of future policyholder behavior are subjective and are based primarily on the Company’s experience.

As markets change, mature and evolve and actual policyholder behavior emerges, management continually evaluates the appropriateness of its assumptions for this component of the fair value model.

The use of the models and assumptions described above requires a significant amount of judgment. Management believes the aggregation of each of these components results in an amount that the Company would be required to transfer for a liability, or receive for an asset, to or from a willing buyer or seller, if one existed, for those market participants to assume the risks associated with the guaranteed benefits and the related reinsurance. However, the ultimate settlement amount of the asset or liability, which is currently unknown, could likely be significantly different than this fair value.

Sensitivity to Changes in Unobservable Inputs
The following is a general description of sensitivities of significant unobservable inputs and their impact on the fair value measurement for the assets and liabilities reflected in the table above.

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, securities of $112 thousand and $113 thousand, respectively, are fair valued using techniques incorporating unobservable inputs and are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. For these assets, their unobservable inputs and ranges of possible inputs do not materially affect their fair valuations and have been excluded from the quantitative information in the table above.

The GMIB reinsurance recoverable fair value calculation is based on the present value of future cash flows comprised of future expected reinsurance benefit receipts, less future attributed premium payments to reinsurers, over the lives of the contracts. Estimating these cash flows requires actuarially determined assumptions related to expectations concerning policyholder behavior and long-term market volatility. The more significant policyholder behavior actuarial assumptions include benefit utilization, fund allocation, persistency, and mortality. In general, an increase (decrease) in assumed benefit utilization would increase (decrease) the fair value of the reinsurance recoverable; an increase (decrease) in allocation to equity funds would increase (decrease) the fair value of the reinsurance recoverable; an increase (decrease) in assumed persistency would increase (decrease) the fair value of the reinsurance recoverable; an increase (decrease) in assumed mortality would decrease (increase) the fair value of the reinsurance recoverable; and an increase (decrease) in long-term market volatility would increase (decrease) the fair value of the reinsurance recoverable.

Embedded derivative liabilities classified in Level 3 represent the fair value of GMWB and GMAB liabilities.  These fair value calculations are based on the present value of future cash flows comprised of future expected benefit payments, less future attributed rider fees, over the lives of the contracts.   Estimating these cash flows requires actuarially determined assumptions related to expectations concerning policyholder behavior and long-term market volatility.  The more significant policyholder behavior actuarial assumptions include benefit utilization, fund allocation, persistency, and mortality.  In general, an increase (decrease) in assumed benefit utilization would increase (decrease) the fair value of the

liabilities; an increase (decrease) in allocation to equity funds would increase (decrease) the fair value of the liabilities; an increase (decrease) in assumed persistency would increase (decrease) the fair value of the liabilities; an increase (decrease) in assumed mortality would decrease (increase) the fair value of the liabilities; and an increase (decrease) in long-term market volatility would increase (decrease) the fair value of the liabilities.

The tables below provide rollforwards for 2018 and 2017 of the financial instruments for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) are used in the fair value measurement. Gains and losses in the table below include changes in fair value due partly to observable and unobservable factors. The Company utilizes derivative instruments to manage the risk associated with certain assets and liabilities. However, the derivative instruments hedging the related risks may not be classified within the same fair value hierarchy level as the associated assets and liabilities. Therefore, the impact of the derivative instruments reported in Level 3 may vary significantly from the total income effect of the hedged instruments. Additionally, the Company’s policy for determining and disclosing transfers between levels is to recognize transfers using beginning of period balances.

(1) Annuity reserves represent only the components of other contract holder funds that are considered to be financial instruments.
(2) The values of separate account liabilities are set equal to the values of separate account assets.

Fair Value Option
The Company elected the fair value option for certain assets, which are held as collateral for reinsurance. Accordingly, the Company established a funds held liability, for which the Company also elected the fair value option. The value of the funds held liability is equal to the fair value of the assets held as collateral. The income and any changes in unrealized gains and losses on these assets and the corresponding funds held liability are included in net investment income and have no impact on the Company’s consolidated income statements. Income and changes in unrealized gains and losses on other assets for which the Company has elected the fair value option are immaterial to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Reinsurance

The Company assumes and cedes reinsurance from and to other insurance companies in order to limit losses from large exposures. However, if the reinsurer is unable to meet its obligations, the originating issuer of the coverage retains the liability. The Company reinsures certain of its risks to other reinsurers under a coinsurance, modified coinsurance, yearly renewable term, or, with Brooke Life, a monthly renewable term basis. The Company regularly monitors the financial strength rating of its reinsurers.

The Company has also acquired certain lines of business that are wholly ceded to non-affiliates. These include both direct and assumed accident and health business, direct and assumed life insurance business, and certain institutional annuities.

Effective October 1, 2018, the Company entered into a reinsurance agreement with John Hancock to assume its U.S. Group Payout Annuity business. The transaction is structured as indemnity reinsurance by Jackson of John Hancock’s approximately 186,000 Group Payout Annuity certificates representing $5.0 billion of assumed premiums, ceding commission income of $555.0 million and $5.5 billion of reserves.

Jackson’s GMIBs are reinsured with an unrelated party and, due to the net settlement provisions of the reinsurance agreement, meet the definition of a derivative. Accordingly, the GMIB reinsurance agreement is recorded at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, with changes in fair value recorded in other net investment losses. GMIB reinsured benefits are subject to aggregate annual claim limits. Deductibles also apply on reinsurance of GMIB business issued since March 1, 2005.

The Company has three retro treaties with SRZ. Pursuant to these retro treaties, the Company ceded to SRZ on a 100% coinsurance basis, subject to pre-existing reinsurance with other parties, certain blocks of business. These blocks of business include disability income and accident and health business, a mix of life and annuity insurance business, and corporate owned life insurance business.

Pursuant to the retro treaties, the Company holds certain assets, primarily policy loans and debt securities, as collateral. This collateral is reported as a liability as funds held under reinsurance treaties on the consolidated balance sheets. This funds held liability was $3.7 billion and $3.6 billion at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

For traditional life insurance contracts, which include term and whole life, reserves are determined using the net level premium method and assumptions as of the issue date or acquisition date as to mortality, interest rates, persistency and expenses, plus provisions for adverse deviation. These assumptions are not unlocked unless the reserve is determined to be deficient.

The Company’s liability for future policy benefits also includes liabilities for guaranteed benefits related to certain nontraditional long-duration life and annuity contracts, which are further discussed in Note 9.

For interest-sensitive life contracts, liabilities approximate the policyholder’s account value, plus the remaining balance of the fair value adjustment related to previously acquired business, which is further discussed below. The liability for fixed index annuities is based on three components, 1) the imputed value of the underlying guaranteed host contract, 2) the fair value of the embedded option component of the contract, and 3) the liability for guaranteed benefits related to the optional lifetime income rider. For fixed annuities and other investment contracts, as detailed in the above table, the liability is the policyholder’s account value, plus the unamortized balance of the fair value adjustment related to previously acquired business. At December 31, 2018, the Company had interest sensitive life business with minimum guaranteed interest rates ranging from 2.5% to 6.0%, with a 4.67% average guaranteed rate and fixed interest rate annuities with minimum guaranteed rates ranging from 1.0% to 5.5% and a 2.35% average guaranteed rate.

Jackson National Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2018 and 2017
 

The Company recorded a fair value adjustment related to certain annuity and interest sensitive liability blocks of business to reflect the cost of the interest guarantees within the inforce liabilities, based on the difference between the guaranteed interest rate and an assumed new money guaranteed interest rate. This adjustment was recorded in reserves for future policy benefits and claims payable. This component of the reserve is reassessed at the end of each period, taking into account changes in the inforce block. Any resulting change in the reserve is recorded as a change in reserve through the consolidated income statements.

At both December 31, 2018 and 2017, approximately 88% of the Company’s fixed interest rate annuity account values correspond to crediting rates that are at the minimum guaranteed interest rates.

with Jackson and secured by the issuance of funding agreements. The carrying values at December 31, 2018 and 2017 totaled $(11.1) million and $25.6 million, respectively.

The Company has established a $20.0 billion aggregate Global Medium Term Note program. Jackson National Life Global Funding was formed as a statutory business trust, solely for the purpose of issuing Medium Term Note instruments to institutional investors, the proceeds of which are deposited with Jackson and secured by the issuance of funding agreements. The carrying values at December 31, 2018 and 2017 totaled $7.3 billion and $5.7 billion, respectively.
Those Medium Term Note instruments issued in a foreign currency have been hedged for changes in exchange rates using cross-currency swaps. The fair value of derivatives embedded in funding agreements, as well as unrealized foreign currency transaction gains and losses, are included in the carrying value of the trust instruments supported by funding agreements.

Trust instrument liabilities are adjusted to reflect the effects of foreign currency translation gains and losses using exchange rates as of the reporting date. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are included in other net investment losses.

Jackson and Squire Re are members of the FHLBI primarily for the purpose of participating in the bank’s mortgage-collateralized loan advance program with short-term and long-term funding facilities. Advances are in the form of short-term or long-term notes or funding agreements issued to FHLBI. At both December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company held $125.4 million of FHLBI capital stock, supporting $2.0 billion and $2.6 billion in funding agreements, short-term and long-term borrowing capacity in 2018 and 2017, respectively.

9.
Certain Nontraditional Long-Duration Contracts and Variable Annuity Guarantees
The Company issues variable contracts through its separate accounts for which investment income and investment gains and losses accrue directly to, and investment risk is borne by, the contract holder (“traditional variable annuities”). The Company also issues variable annuity and life contracts through separate accounts where the Company contractually guarantees to the contract holder (“variable contracts with guarantees”) either a) return of no less than total deposits made to the account adjusted for any partial withdrawals, b) total deposits made to the account adjusted for any partial withdrawals plus a minimum return, or c) the highest account value on a specified anniversary date adjusted for any withdrawals following the contract anniversary. These guarantees include benefits that are payable in the event of death (GMDB), at annuitization (GMIB), upon the depletion of funds (GMWB) or at the end of a specified period (GMAB).

The assets supporting the variable portion of both traditional variable annuities and variable contracts with guarantees are carried at fair value and reported as summary total separate account assets with an equivalent summary total reported for separate account liabilities. Liabilities for guaranteed benefits are general account obligations and are reported in reserves for future policy benefits and claims payable. Amounts assessed against the contract holders for mortality, administrative, and other services are reported in revenue as fee income. Changes in liabilities for minimum guarantees are reported within death, other policy benefits and change in policy reserves within the consolidated income statements with the exception of changes in embedded derivatives, which are included in other net investment losses. Separate account net investment income, net investment realized and unrealized gains and losses, and the related liability changes are offset within the same line item in the consolidated income statements.

Amounts shown as GMWB above include a ‘not-for-life’ component up to the point at which the guaranteed withdrawal benefit is exhausted, after which benefits paid are considered to be ‘for-life’ benefits. The liability related to this ‘not-for-life’ portion is valued as an embedded derivative, while the ‘for-life’ benefits are valued as an insurance liability (see below). For this table, the net amount at risk of the ‘not-for-life’ component is the undiscounted excess of the guaranteed withdrawal benefit over the account value, and that of the ‘for-life’ component is the estimated value of additional life contingent benefits paid after the guaranteed withdrawal benefit is exhausted.

The GMDB liability is determined 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. The Company regularly evaluates estimates used and adjusts the liability balance through the consolidated income statement, within death, other policy benefits and change in policy reserves, 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 both December 31, 2018 and 2017 (except where otherwise noted):
1)
Use of a series of stochastic investment performance scenarios, based on historical average market volatility.
2)
Mean investment performance assumption of 7.4% after investment management fees, but before investment advisory fees and mortality and expense charges.
3)
Mortality equal to 25% to 100% of the Annuity 2000 table (2017: 23% to 100%).
4)
Lapse rates varying by contract type, duration and degree the benefit is in-the-money and ranging from 0.4% to 27.9% (before application of dynamic adjustments).
5)
Discount rates: 7.4% on 2013 and later issues, 8.4% on 2012 and prior issues.

Most GMWB reserves are considered to be derivatives under current accounting guidance and are recognized at fair value, as previously defined, with the change in fair value reported in net income. The fair value of these liabilities is determined using stochastic modeling and inputs as further described in Note 5. The fair valued GMWB had a reserve liability of $3,049.8 million and $1,711.4 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and was reported in reserves for future policy benefits and claims payable.

Jackson has also issued certain GMWB products that guarantee payments over a lifetime. Reserves for the portion of these benefits after the point where the guaranteed withdrawal balance is exhausted are calculated using assumptions and methodology similar to the GMDB liability. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, these GMWB reserves totaled $175.4 million and $106.9 million, respectively, and were reported in reserves for future policy benefits and claims payable.

GMAB benefits were offered on some variable annuity plans. However, the Company no longer offers these benefits. The GMAB had an asset value that was immaterial to the consolidated financial statements at both December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The direct GMIB liability is determined at each period end by estimating the expected value of the annuitization benefits in excess of the projected account balance at the date of annuitization and recognizing the excess ratably over the accumulation period based on total expected assessments. The assumptions used for calculating the direct GMIB liability are consistent with those used for calculating the GMDB liability. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, GMIB reserves before reinsurance totaled $109.7 million and $68.6 million, respectively.

Other Liabilities - Insurance and Annuitization Benefits
The Company has established additional reserves for life insurance business for universal life (“UL”) plans with secondary guarantees, interest-sensitive life (“ISWL”) plans that exhibit “profits followed by loss” patterns and account balance adjustments to tabular guaranteed cash values on one interest-sensitive life plan.

Liabilities for these benefits have been established according to the methodologies described below:

The following assumptions and methodology were used to determine the UL insurance benefit liability at December 31, 2018 and 2017:

1)
Use of a series of deterministic premium persistency scenarios.
2)
Other experience assumptions similar to those used in amortization of deferred acquisition costs.
3)
Discount rates equal to credited interest rates, approximately 3.0% to 5.5% in 2018 and 4.0% to 5.5% in 2017.

The Company also has a small closed block of two-tier annuities, where different crediting rates are used for annuitization and surrender benefit calculations. A liability is established to cover future annuitization benefits in excess of surrender values, and was immaterial to the consolidated financial statements at both December 31, 2018 and 2017. In 2015, the Company began offering an optional lifetime income rider with certain of its fixed index annuities. The liability established for this rider was $0.8 million and $8.2 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Surplus notes
Under Michigan Insurance Law, for statutory reporting purposes, the surplus notes are not part of the legal liabilities of the Company and are considered surplus funds. Payments of interest or principal may only be made with the prior approval of the commissioner of insurance of the state of Michigan and only out of surplus earnings which the commissioner determines to be available for such payments under Michigan Insurance Law.

On March 15, 1997, Jackson issued 8.15% surplus notes in the principal amount of $250.0 million due March 15, 2027. These surplus notes were issued pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, and are unsecured and subordinated to all present and future indebtedness, policy claims and other creditor claims and may not be redeemed at the option of the Company or any holder prior to maturity. Interest is payable semi-annually on March 15th and September 15th of each year. Interest expense on the notes was $20.4 million in 2018, 2017, and 2016.

In conjunction with a reserve financing transaction, Squire Re II issued the Squire Surplus Note to an affiliate. The Squire Surplus Note matures December 30, 2031 and bears interest at 4.35%, payable quarterly. During 2018, 2017, and 2016 interest expense on the Squire Surplus Note was $12.7 million, $14.0 million, and nil, respectively.

Federal Home Loan Bank Loans
The Company received loans of $50.0 million from the FHLBI under its community investment program in both 2015 and 2014, which amortize on a straight line basis over the loan term.  The weighted average interest rate on these loans was 1.90% in 2018 and 0.94% in 2017.  The outstanding balance on these loans was $82.4 million and $87.4 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  During 2018, 2017, and 2016, interest expense for these loans totaled $1.6 million, $805 thousand, and $405 thousand, respectively. At December 31, 2018, the loans were collateralized by mortgage-related securities and commercial mortgage loans with a carrying value of $124.8 million.

11.
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances

The Company entered into a short-term advance program with the FHLBI in which interest rates were either fixed or variable based on the FHLBI cost of funds or market rates. Advances of nil and $600.1 million were outstanding at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and were recorded in other liabilities. The Company paid interest of $2.6 million, $3.4 million, and $594 thousand on such advances in 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively.

12.
Income Taxes

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was signed into law.  The Tax Act changed many aspects of the U.S. corporate income tax system, including a reduction of the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018.  In accordance with current U.S. GAAP, the effects of changes in tax rates and laws on deferred tax balances are to be recognized in the period in which legislation is enacted.  Therefore, the Company remeasured its deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse in the future, which is now 21%. As a result of this reduction, the Company recognized additional tax (benefit) expense of ($11.1) million and $355.4 million in 2018 and 2017, respectively, due to the rescaling of deferred tax assets and liabilities. In 2017, the Company also recognized a tax benefit of $141.0 million due to the impact of the Tax Act on deferred taxes related to unrealized holding gains and losses. As described in Note 2, in accordance with ASU No. 2018-02, this stranded tax benefit was reclassified from AOCI to retained earnings.

The Company is required to evaluate the recoverability of its deferred tax assets and establish a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce its deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realizable. Considerable judgment and the use of estimates are required when determining whether a valuation allowance is necessary and, if so, the amount of such valuation allowance. When evaluating the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers many factors, including: the nature and character of the deferred tax assets and liabilities; taxable income in prior carryback years; future reversals of temporary differences; the length of time carryovers can be utilized; and any tax planning strategies the Company would employ to avoid a tax benefit from expiring unused. Although realization is not assured, management believes as of December 31, 2018, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not have a valuation allowance.

During 2016, Jackson reached an agreement with the IRS regarding the taxation of hedging activities. This agreement requires the current taxation of all unrealized gains and losses on hedge-related investments, but then defers two-thirds of the amount ratably over the following two years. Accordingly, there is an acceleration of taxes incurred currently and a related offset to the taxes being deferred.

At December 31, 2018, the Company had a federal tax ordinary loss carryforward of $308.8 million, of which $179.0 million was attributable to a previous acquisition, which begins to expire in 2026. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code imposes limitations on the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards. The Section 382 limitation is an annual limitation on the amount of pre-acquisition net operating losses that a corporation may use to offset post-acquisition income. Section 382 further limits certain unrealized built-in losses at the time of acquisition. The annual limitation is approximately $21.0 million. The remaining $129.8 million of loss carryforward is attributable to NPH which was contributed to the Company as discussed in Note 1. This loss carryforward has no expiration, but is subject to an overall limitation of 80% of the tax income of the Brooke Life Consolidated tax group and the limitation on offsetting life income with non-life losses of the lesser of 35% of the loss carryforward or 35% of the tax income for the Brooke Life consolidated tax group.

The Company has considered both permanent and temporary positions in determining the unrecognized tax benefit rollforward. As of December 31, 2017, the Company established a reserve related to exclusion of short-term capital gains from the separate account dividends received deduction (“DRD”) calculation. As of December 31, 2018, the Company established a reserve related to the change in the calculation of its tax basis reserves of $3.2 million. The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits (in thousands):

The Company has not recorded any amounts for penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits during 2018, 2017, or 2016.

Based on information available as of December 31, 2018, the Company believes that, in the next 12 months, there are no positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease.

The Company is generally no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2012.

13.
Commitments, Contingencies, and Guarantees

The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. It is the opinion of management that the ultimate disposition of such litigation will not have a material adverse affect on the Company's financial condition. Jackson has been named in civil litigation proceedings, which appear to be substantially similar to other class action litigation brought against many life insurers including allegations of misconduct in the sale of insurance products. The Company accrues for legal contingencies once the contingency is deemed to be probable and reasonably estimable. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, Jackson recorded accruals totaling $28.0 million and $11.3 million, respectively.

State guaranty funds provide payments for policyholders of insolvent life insurance companies. These guaranty funds are financed by assessing solvent insurance companies based on location, volume and types of business. The Company estimated its reserve for future state guaranty fund assessments based on data received from the National Organization of Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Associations. Based on data received, the Company’s reserve for future state guaranty fund assessments was $2.8 million and $3.5 million at the end of 2018 and 2017, respectively. At December 31,

54

Jackson National Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2018 and 2017
 

2018 and 2017, related premium tax offsets were $1.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively. While Jackson cannot predict the amount and timing of any future assessments, the Company believes the reserve is adequate for all anticipated payments for known insolvencies.

At December 31, 2018, the Company had unfunded commitments related to its investments in limited partnerships and limited liability companies totaling $845.8 million. At December 31, 2018, unfunded commitments related to commercial mortgage loans and other debt securities totaled $439.7 million.

The Company has two separate service agreements with third party administrators to provide policyholder administrative services. These agreements, subject to certain termination provisions, have ten and twelve-year terms and expire in 2020 and 2030.

The Company leases office space, land and equipment under several operating leases that expire at various dates through 2051. Certain leases include escalating lease rates, lease abatements and other incentives and, as a result, at December 31, 2018, Jackson recorded a liability of $14.3 million for future lease payments. Lease expense was $40.0 million, $32.7 million, and $31.3 million in 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively. At December 31, 2018, future minimum payments under these noncancellable operating leases were as follows (in thousands):

In 2018, the Company announced the closing of its Denver office as part of a strategic reorganization of the distribution platform. The Company determined that the lease obligation for this building exceeds the economic benefit for the remainder of the contract, resulting in an expense accrual of $8.6 million in 2018.

14.
Share-Based Compensation

Certain employees participate in various share award plans relating to Prudential shares and/or American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) that are tradable on the New York Stock Exchange and are described below.

At certain times, the Company may grant one-off type retention awards to certain key senior executives within Jackson. These awards are subject to the prior approval of the Jackson Remuneration Committee and are nil cost awards with a contingent right to receive Prudential ADRs. The awards are contingent upon continued employment of the recipient through the award vesting date. There are no performance measurements with these awards.

The Company classifies the above plan as an equity settled plan and, therefore, reflects the net reserve related to the compensation expense and the value of the shares distributed under this plan within the consolidated statements of equity. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had $3.6 million and $10.2 million, respectively, reserved for future payments under this plan.

The Company either acquires shares/ADRs or reimburses Prudential for the costs of any shares/ADRs that were distributed to participants in the above plans, or may be distributed in the future. The shares/ADRs acquired for all the share-award plans are held at cost in a trust account for future distributions. The Company reflects the costs of shares/ADRs held within the consolidated balance sheet as shares held in trust. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had $11.4 million and $18.9 million of shares/ADRs held at cost in the trust, respectively.

The Company also had a performance-related share award plan which, subject to the prior approval of the Jackson Remuneration Committee, granted share awards to eligible employees in the form of a contingent right to receive Prudential ADRs, or a conditional allocation of Prudential ADRs. These share awards were based on the compound annual European Embedded Value (“EEV”) imputed growth in shareholder value of the U.S. business, had vesting periods of four years and were at nil cost to the employee. Share awards vested between 0% (less than 8% growth) and 150%

55

Jackson National Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2018 and 2017
 

(more than 17.5% growth) of the grant amounts dependent on the compound annual growth rate attained over the performance period. Award holders did not have any right to dividends or voting rights attached to the ADRs granted during the performance period. In 2013, this plan was replaced by the Prudential Long-Term Incentive Plan (“PLTIP”) as further described below. As of December 31, 2016, there were no remaining outstanding shares under this plan.

The PLTIP is a Prudential incentive plan in which the Company may grant share awards to eligible employees in the form of a contingent right to receive Prudential ADRs, or a conditional allocation of Prudential ADRs, subject to the prior approval of the Jackson Remuneration Committee.  These share awards vest based on the achievement of planned International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) pretax operating income for the U.S. business, have vesting periods of three years and are at nil cost to the employee.  Share awards vest between 0% (less than 90% of plan) and 100% (more than 110% of plan) of the grant amounts dependent on IFRS pretax operating income attained over the performance period.  Award holders do not have any right to dividends or voting rights attached to the ADRs granted during the performance period.  Upon vesting, a number of ADRs equivalent to the value of dividends that otherwise would have been received over the performance period are added to vested awards.

The Company classifies these plans as liability settled plans and, therefore, reflects the accrued compensation expense and the value of the shares distributed under the plans within other liabilities. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had $84.5 million and $98.6 million, respectively, accrued for future payments under these plans.

The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense associated with the above plans based on the grant-date award fair value ratably over the requisite service period of each individual grant, which generally equals the vesting period. Additional compensation expense is recognized based on the change in fair value of the award at the end of each reporting period. The Company estimates forfeitures when calculating share-based compensation expense.

Total expense related to these share-based performance related compensation plans was as follows (in millions):

The total unrecognized compensation expense related to all share-based plans at December 31, 2018 was $46.9 million with a weighted average remaining period of 1.22 years.

During 2015, certain one-off type retention awards were issued. There were no new grants under the performance plan.

The weighted average share/ADR fair values of share-based awards granted by the PLTIP during 2018, 2017, and 2016 were $49.44, $42.12, and $37.27, respectively.    

The weighted average fair value for the Company’s performance awards represents the average Prudential ADR price for the thirty days following Prudential’s unaudited annual earnings release date. The fair value amounts relating to the equity settled plans were determined using either the Black-Scholes or Monte Carlo option-pricing models. These models are used to calculate fair values for options and awards at the grant date based on the quoted market price of the stock at the measurement date, the dividend yield, expected volatility, risk-free interest rates and expected term.

15.
Statutory Accounting Capital and Surplus

The Company is required to prepare statutory financial statements in accordance with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the insurance department of the state of domicile. Statutory accounting practices primarily differ from GAAP by charging policy acquisition costs to expense as incurred and establishing future policy benefit liabilities using different actuarial assumptions, as well as valuing investments and certain assets and accounting for deferred income taxes on a different basis.

Under Michigan Insurance Law, while Jackson must provide notification to the Michigan commissioner of insurance prior to payment of any dividend, ordinary dividends on capital stock may only be distributed out of earned surplus, excluding any unrealized capital gains and the effect of permitted practices (referred to as adjusted earned surplus).  At December 31, 2018, the Company had $866.2 million of adjusted earned surplus available for dividends.  Ordinary dividends are also limited to the greater of 10% of statutory surplus as of the preceding year-end, excluding any increase arising from the application of permitted practices, or the statutory net income, excluding any net realized investment gains, for the twelve month period ended on the preceding December 31.  The commissioner may approve payment of dividends in excess of these amounts, which would be deemed an extraordinary dividend.  The maximum amount that would qualify as an ordinary dividend, which would consequently be free from restriction and available for payment of dividends to Brooke Life in 2019, is estimated to be $884.2 million, subject to the availability of adjusted earned surplus as of the dividend date.

Dividends from the Company to its parent were $451.9 million, $600.5 million, and $550.7 million in 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively. Jackson’s 2018, 2017, and 2016 dividends include $1.9 million, $0.5 million, and $0.7 million, respectively, related to Jackson’s forgiveness of Brooke Life’s intercompany tax liability.

Statutory capital and surplus of the Company, as reported in its Annual Statement, was $4.8 billion and $3.9 billion at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Statutory net income (loss) of the Company, as reported in its Annual Statement, was $1,896.3 million, $168.4 million, and ($563.8) million in 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively.

The commissioner has granted Jackson a permitted practice that allows Jackson to carry interest rate swaps at book value, as if the requirements for statutory hedge accounting were in place, instead of at fair value as would have been otherwise required. Jackson is required to demonstrate the effectiveness of its interest rate swap program pursuant to the Michigan Insurance Code. This permitted practice expires on October 1, 2019. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the effect of the permitted practice decreased statutory surplus by $164.7 million and $480.2 million, net of tax, respectively. The permitted practice had no impact on statutory net income.

Under Michigan Insurance Law, VOBA is reported as an admitted asset if certain criteria are met. Pursuant to Michigan Insurance Law, the Company reported $236.5 million and $229.3 million of statutory basis VOBA at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which is fully admissible.

The NAIC has developed certain risk-based capital (“RBC”) requirements for life insurance companies. Under those requirements, compliance is determined by a ratio of a company’s total adjusted capital (“TAC”), calculated in a manner prescribed by the NAIC to its authorized control level RBC (“ACL RBC”), calculated in a manner prescribed by the NAIC. Companies below specific trigger points or ratios are classified within certain levels, each of which requires specified corrective action. The minimum level of TAC before corrective action commences is twice ACL RBC (“Company action level RBC”). At December 31, 2018, the Company’s TAC was more than 400% of the Company action level RBC.

In addition, on the basis of statutory financial statements that insurers file with the state insurance regulators, the NAIC annually calculates twelve financial ratios to assist state regulators in monitoring the financial condition of insurance companies. A usual range of results for each ratio is used as a benchmark and departure from the usual range on four or more of the ratios can lead to inquiries from individual state insurance departments. In 2018 and 2017, there were no significant exceptions with any ratios.

16.
Other Related Party Transactions

The Company's investment portfolio is managed by PPM America, Inc. (“PPMA”), a registered investment advisor, and PPM Finance, Inc. (collectively, “PPM”). PPM is ultimately a wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential. The Company paid $68.9 million, $45.8 million, and $47.4 million to PPM for investment advisory services during 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively.

NPH, Jackson’s affiliated broker-dealer network, distributed products issued by Jackson and received commissions and fees from Jackson. Commissions and fees paid by Jackson to NPH during 2018, 2017, and 2016 totaled $5.6 million, $100.2 million, and $107.3 million, respectively. In December 2018, the broker dealers were consolidated into NPH, which was then contributed to Jackson via Brooke Life, and converted to NPH LLC.

Jackson has entered into shared services administrative agreement with both NPH and PPMA. Under the shared services administrative agreements, Jackson charged $8.3 million, $16.6 million, and $12.5 million of certain management and corporate services costs to these affiliates in 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively.

Jackson provides a $100.0 million revolving credit facility to Brooke (Holdco1) Inc., an upstream holding company. The loan is unsecured, matures in December 2021, accrues interest at LIBOR plus 2%, and has a commitment fee of 0.10% per annum. There was no outstanding balance at both December 31, 2018 and 2017. The highest outstanding loan balance during both 2018 and 2017 was nil. During 2018, 2017, and 2016, interest and commitment fees totaled $100 thousand, $65 thousand, and $40 thousand, respectively.

Jackson provides a $40.0 million revolving credit facility to PPMA. The loan is unsecured, matures in September 2023, accrues interest at LIBOR plus 2% per annum and has a commitment fee of 0.10% per annum. There was no outstanding balance at both December 31, 2018 and 2017. The highest outstanding loan balance during both 2018 and 2017 was nil. Interest and commitment fees totaled $0.1 million each year for 2018, 2017 and 2016.

Jackson provides a $20.0 million revolving credit facility to Jackson Holdings, LLC, an upstream holding company. The loan is unsecured, matures in June 2019, accrues interest at LIBOR plus 2% per annum and has a commitment fee of 0.25% per annum. The outstanding balance at December 31, 2018 and 2017, was nil and $1.5 million, respectively. The highest outstanding loan balance during both 2018 and 2017 was $1.5 million. Interest and commitment fees totaled $0.1 million each year for 2018, 2017, and 2016.

Jackson provides, through its PGDS subsidiary, information technology services to certain Prudential affiliates. Jackson recognized $2.8 million, $3.7 million, and $7.3 million of revenue associated with these services during 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively. This revenue is included in other income in the accompanying consolidated income statements. This revenue is substantially equal to the costs incurred by PGDS to provide the services, which are reported in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated income statements.

Benefit Plans

The Company has a defined contribution retirement plan covering substantially all employees and certain affiliates. To be eligible to participate in the Company’s contribution, an employee must have attained the age of 21, completed at least 1,000 hours of service in a 12-month period and passed their 12-month employment anniversary. In addition, the employee must be employed on the applicable January 1 or July 1 entry date. The Company's annual contributions, as declared by the board of directors, are based on a percentage of eligible compensation paid to participating employees during the year. In addition, the Company matches a participant’s elective contribution, up to 6 percent of eligible compensation, to the plan during the year. The Company’s expense related to this plan was $31.3 million, $29.7 million, and $26.0 million in 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively.

The Company maintains non-qualified voluntary deferred compensation plans for certain agents and employees of Jackson and certain affiliates. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the liability for such plans totaled $559.6 million and $329.6 million, respectively, and is reported in other liabilities. The Company’s (income) expense related to these plans, including a match of elective deferrals for the agents’ deferred compensation plan and the change in value of participant elected deferrals, was $(1.3) million, $41.5 million, and $37.4 million in 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively. Jackson hedges this liability within its overall hedging strategy.

Item 28. Indemnification

Provision is made in the Company’s Amended By-Laws for indemnification by the Company of any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceedings, to the extent and under the circumstances permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Michigan.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
