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.
 
Completed Year – the succeeding twelve months from the date on which we receive a Premium payment.  Completed Years specify the years from the date of receipt of the Premium and does not refer to Contract Years.  If the Premium receipt date is on the Issue Date of the Contract then Completed Year 0-1 does not include the first Contract Anniversary.  The first Contract Anniversary begins Completed Year 1-2 and each successive Completed Year begins with the Contract Anniversary of the preceding Contract Year and ends the day before the next Contract Anniversary.
 
If the Premium receipt date is other than the Issue Date or a subsequent Contract Anniversary, there is no correlation of the Contract Anniversary date and Completed Years.  For example, if the Issue Date is January 15, 201 6 and a Premium payment is received on February 28, 201 6 then, although the first Contract Anniversary is January 15, 201 7 , Completed Year 0-1 for that Premium payment would begin on February 28, 201 6 and end on February 27, 201 7 .  Completed Year 1-2 for that Premium payment would begin on February 28, 201 7 .
 
Contract – the individual deferred variable and fixed annuity contract , including any endorsements .
 
Contract Anniversary – each one-year anniversary of the Contract's Issue Date.
 
Contract Monththe period of time between consecutive monthly anniversaries 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, 201 6 , then the end of Contract Year 0-1 would be January 14, 201 7 , and January 15, 201 7 , which is the first Contract Anniversary, begins Contract Year 1-2.
 
Excess Interest Adjustment – an adjustment to the Contract Value allocated to the Fixed Account that is withdrawn, or transferred before the end of the period.
 
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 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.

A Fees and expenses at the Master Fund level for Class 1 shares of each respective Fund are as follows:

JNL/American Funds Growth-Income Fund: Management Fee: 0.27%; Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fee: 0%; Other Expenses: 0.02%; Total Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses: 0.29%.

JNL/American Funds International Fund: Management Fee: 0. 50 %; Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fee: 0%; Other Expenses: 0.0 4 %; Total Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses: 0.54%.

JNL/American Funds Global Growth Fund: Management Fee: 0.33%; Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fee: 0%; Other Expenses: 0.02%; Total Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses: 0.35%.

B Jackson National Asset Management, LLC ("JNAM") has entered into a contractual agreement with the Fund under which it will waive a portion of its advisory fee for such time as the Fund is operated as a Feeder Fund, because during that time it will not be providing the portfolio management portion of the investment advisory and management services. This fee waiver will generally continue as long as the Fund is part of a master-feeder Fund structure, but in any event, the fee waiver will continue for at least one year from the date of this Prospectus, unless the Board of Trustees approves a change in or elimination of the waiver. This fee waiver is subject to yearly review and approval by the Board of Trustees. The Management and the Annual Operating Expense columns in this table reflect the inclusion of the contractual fee waivers.

C JNAM has entered into a contractual agreement with the Fund under which it will waive a portion of its advisory fee for at least one year from the date of this Prospectus. Thereafter, the waiver will automatically renew for one-year terms unless the Adviser provides written notice of the termination of the agreement to the Board of Trustees within 30 days of the end of the then current term.

D JNAM has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary to limit the total operating expenses of each class of shares of the Fund, exclusive of brokerage costs, interest, taxes and dividend and extraordinary expenses, to an annual rate (as a percentage of the average daily net assets of the Fund) equal to or less than the Fund's investment income for the period.  The fee waiver will continue for at least one year from the date of this Prospectus, unless the Board of Trustees approves a change in or elimination of the waiver. This fee waiver is subject to yearly review and approval by the Board of Trustees. 

E "Other Expenses" include an Administrative Fee of 0.05% which is payable to JNAM.

F "Other Expenses" include an Administrative Fee of 0.10% which is payable to JNAM.

G "Other Expenses" include an Administrative Fee of 0.15% which is payable to JNAM.

H "Other Expenses" include an Administrative Fee of 0.20% which is payable to JNAM.
 
I Management Fees have been restated to reflect a change in the management fee rate effective September 15, 2014.

J Administrative fees, Distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and/or contractual fee waivers have been restated to reflect changes in the fee rates effective April 27, 2015.

 
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 and Fund fees and expenses.

(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 fees and expenses and the cost of the optional Liquidity Option in years in which a Contract with the Liquidity Option would incur more costs than a Contract without the Liquidity Option.  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
$1,07 3
$1,7 78
$2, 447
$4, 58 2

If you annuitize at the end of the applicable time period:

1 year *
3 years
5 years
10 years
$1,07 3
$1, 349
$2,2 60
$4, 58 2

*Withdrawal charges apply to annuitizations occurring within one year of the Contract's Issue Date.

If you do not surrender your Contract:

1 year
3 years
5 years
10 years
$4 47
$1, 349
$2,2 60
$4, 58 2

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 the Accumulation Units 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 can be found in Appendix C.  Information about the values of all remaining Accumulation Units can be found in the Statement of Additional Information. 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, including any optional benefit charges that are based on average daily Contract Value in the Investment Divisions and are deducted daily as part of the calculation of the values of the Accumulation Units. Information about the Separate Account charges and charges for optional benefits 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 your 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.

Your Contract Value may be allocated to

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.  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).  We reserve the right to refuse an assignment, and an assignment may be a taxable event.  Please contact our Annuity Service Center for help and more information.

The Contracts are flexible Premium fixed and variable deferred annuities and may be issued as either an individual or a group contract.    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.  In those states where Contracts are issued as group contracts, references throughout the prospectus to "Contract(s)" shall also mean "certificate(s)."

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 investment adviser and administrator for  Jackson Variable Series Trust, JNL Series Trust ,  JNL Variable Fund LLC , and JNL Investors Series Trust .  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.

We are working to provide documentation electronically.  When this program is available, we will, as permitted, forward documentation electronically.  Please contact us at our Annuity Service Center for more information.

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.  The Fixed Account is not registered with the SEC, and the SEC does not review the information we provide to you about it.  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.

The Fixed Account Options are not available on Contracts with the optional Liquidity Option.

Fixed Account Options.  Each Fixed Account Option credits interest to your Contract Value in the Fixed Account for a specified period that you select, subject to availability (currently, five and seven year periods are available, but we also may make available one and three year periods), so long as the Contract Value in that Fixed Account Option is not withdrawn, transferred, or annuitized until the end of the specified period.  We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to limit or suspend availability of the Fixed Account Options. You may not elect any Fixed Account Option that extends beyond the Income Date, other than the one-year option except as described herein under "End of Fixed Account Option Periods"; and election of any option will not extend the Income Date.  Rather, commencing on the Income Date, we will cease to credit interest under any 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 state non-forfeiture 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 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 non-forfeiture laws and set forth in the ContractsThis 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, defined below.  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.

Excess Interest Adjustment.  An Excess Interest Adjustment may apply to amounts withdrawn, or transferred from a Fixed Account Option prior to the end of the specified period.  The Excess Interest 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 an Excess Interest Adjustment, we first consider the base interest rate of the Fixed Account Option from which you are taking an amount as a withdrawal, or transfer.  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 Excess Interest 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 Excess Interest Adjustment.  The 'current new business interest rate' is .50% 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 then offering that duration, we will estimate a base interest rate for that duration based on the closest durations that we are then offering.

Generally, the Excess Interest Adjustment will (a) increase the amount withdrawn, or transferred, when the current new business interest rate is lower than the base interest rate being credited for the Fixed Account Option from which the amount is being taken and will (b) decrease the amount withdrawn, or transferred, when the current new business interest rate is higher than the base interest rate for the Fixed Account Option from which the amount is being taken. There will be no Excess Interest Adjustment if these rates are the same. Any adjustment resulting from the Excess Interest Adjustment is applied to the amount that is being withdrawn, or transferred, from the Fixed Account Option.  However, an Excess Interest 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 Excess Interest Adjustment if the difference between the two is less than 0.50%.   This limitation avoids decreases in the amount withdrawn, or transferred, 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 .50% that (as described above) is added when determining the current new business interest rate.

Also, there is no Excess Interest Adjustment on: amounts taken from the one-year Fixed Account Option; death benefit proceed payments; annuitizations; amounts withdrawn on the Latest Income Date (the Contract Anniversary on or next following your 95th birthday under a non-qualified Contract, or such earlier date as required by the applicable qualified plan, law, or regulation); amounts withdrawn for Contract charges; and free withdrawals.  In no event will a total withdrawal, or transfer from the Fixed Account Options be less than the Fixed Account minimum value.  The Fixed Account minimum value at least equals the minimum value prescribed by the applicable non-forfeiture law in each state where the Contracts are sold.  The Fixed Amount minimum value for any Fixed Account Option is the amount that would result from (1) accumulating the following amounts at the Fixed Account minimum interest rate: (a) any Premium payments (net of any associated Premium taxes) or transfers that you allocate to that Fixed Account Option less (b) any withdrawals, transfers, or charges that are taken out of that Fixed Account Option; and (2) deducting any withdrawal charges, or charge for taxes due in connection with the withdrawal.  In the case of a partial withdrawal or transfer from a Fixed Account Option, you 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 an Excess Interest Adjustment that otherwise would have reduced it below that rate.

The following example illustrates how the Fixed Account minimum value may affect an Excess Interest Adjustment on a partial withdrawal.  If you allocated your initial Premium of $10,000 to the Fixed Account and your declared rate of interest was 3%, after one year (assuming no other transactions or withdrawal charges) your Contract Value in the Fixed Account would be $10,300. If the Fixed Account minimum interest rate was 1%, your Fixed Account minimum value would be $10,100. In this case, an Excess Interest Adjustment could not reduce the withdrawal by more than $200 (the difference between your Contract Value in the Fixed Account and the Fixed Account minimum value).  For example, if you request an $8,000 withdrawal and it is subject to a $200 negative Excess Interest Adjustment, the withdrawal would be adjusted to $7,800. However, if it were subject to a negative $400 Excess Interest Adjustment, the $8,000 withdrawal still would only be adjusted to $7,800, so that it does not invade the Fixed Account minimum value. Immediately after either of these withdrawals, there will be no difference between your Contract Value in the Fixed Account and Fixed Account minimum value, and no negative Excess Interest 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 an Excess Interest Adjustment, if otherwise applicable. (There is no Excess Interest Adjustment on amounts taken from the one-year Fixed Account Option at any time.)  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 the specified period of the same duration that has ended is no longer available, we will use the shortest period that is then available.  If such new Fixed Account Option would extend beyond the Income Date, we will use the longest available Fixed Account Option that does not extend beyond the Income Date; or (if no such period is available) we will credit interest at the current interest rate under the shortest available Fixed Account Option up to the Income Date.

Additional Information Concerning the One-Year Fixed Account Option. The one-year Fixed Account Option is not currently available. If we make it available in the future, the following provisions will apply. Transfer restrictions may be imposed limiting your ability to make transfers out of this option for at least three years, as further described below.

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 15 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" beginning on page 36 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.  Please note, the interest rate that is in effect when these restrictions are imposed will only apply for the remainder of the one–year Fixed Account Option period, and the interest rates credited thereafter for the remainder of the period the restrictions are in effect may be lower or higher. 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.  The DCA+ Fixed Account Option is not available if you select the Liquidity Option.  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.

The following Funds in which the Investment Divisions invest may be known as a "Fund of Funds" or as Funds investing in other "Underlying Funds" or investing in ETFs.  Funds offered in a multi-tiered structure may have higher expenses than direct investments in the Underlying Funds or ETFs.  You should read the prospectus for the JNL Series Trust and Jackson Variable Series Trust for more information

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 prospectuses for the JNL Series Trust, the JNL Variable Fund LLC , the JNL Investors Series Trust and the Jackson Variable Series Trust carefully before investing.  Additional Funds and Investment Divisions may be available in the future.  The prospectuses for the JNL Series Trust, the JNL Variable Fund LLC , the JNL Investors Series Trust and the Jackson Variable Series Trust are attached to this prospectus.  However, these prospectuses may also be obtained at no charge by calling 1-800-644-4565 (Annuity and Life Service Center) or 1-800-777-7779 (for Contracts purchased through a bank or financial institution), by writing P.O. Box 30314, Lansing, Michigan 48909-7814, or by visiting www.jackson.com.

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 deducted proportionally from your Contract Value.  These charges may be a lesser amount where required by state law or as described below, but will not be increased.  Charges for an optional benefit are deducted only if you elect the optional benefit.  We expect to profit from certain charges assessed under the Contract.  These charges (and certain other expenses) are as follows:

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge.  Each day, as part of our calculation of the value of the Accumulation Units and Annuity Units, we make a deduction for the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge.  On an annual basis, this charge equals 0.85% 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 compensates us for the risks we assume in connection with all the Contracts, not just your Contract.  Our mortality risks under the Contracts arise from our obligations:

to make income payments for the life of the Annuitant during the income phase; and
 
to waive the withdrawal charge in the event of the Owner's death.

Our expense risks under the Contracts include the risk that our actual cost of administering the Contracts and the Investment Divisions may exceed the amount that we receive from the administration charge and the annual contract maintenance charge.
If your Contract Value were ever to become insufficient to pay this charge, your Contract would terminate without value.

Annual Contract Maintenance Charge.  During the accumulation phase, we deduct a $50 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.  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 if, when the deduction is to be made, the value of your Contract is $50,000 or more.

Administration Charge.  Each day, as part of our calculation of the value of the Accumulation Units and Annuity Units, we make a deduction for administration charges.  On an annual basis, these charges equal 0.15% 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 compensates us for our expenses incurred in administering the Contracts and the Separate Account.

This charge is waived 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 Administration Charge will be reinstated.

Transfer Charge.  You must pay $25 for each transfer in excess of 15 in a Contract Year.  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.  We waive the transfer charge in connection with Dollar Cost Averaging, Earnings Sweep, Rebalancing transfers and any transfers we require, and we may charge a lesser fee where required by state law.  Transfers made in connection with Investment Divisions under the Guidance Model Portfolios are treated the same as other transfers with respect to the charges and waivers described above.  For information on the Dollar Cost Averaging, Earnings Sweep and Rebalancing programs please see the applicable section under "OTHER INFORMATION" beginning on page 48.

Withdrawal Charge (not applicable for Contracts with the Liquidity Option).  At any time during the accumulation phase (if and to the extent that Contract Value is sufficient to pay any remaining withdrawal charges that remain after a withdrawal), you may withdraw the following with no withdrawal charge:

Premiums that are no longer subject to a withdrawal charge (Premiums in your annuity for at least five years without being withdrawn), plus
 
earnings (excess of your Contract Value allocated to the Investment Divisions and the Fixed Account over your Remaining Premiums allocated to those accounts)
 
during each Contract Year 10% of Premium (subject to certain exclusions) that would otherwise incur a withdrawal charge, or be reduced by an Excess Interest Adjustment, and that has not been previously withdrawn (this can be withdrawn at once or in segments throughout the Contract Year), minus earnings (required minimum distributions will be counted as part of the free withdrawal amount).

We will deduct a withdrawal charge on:

withdrawals in excess of the free withdrawal amount (the withdrawal charge is imposed only on the excess amount above the free withdrawal amount), or
 
withdrawals under a Contract that exceed its required minimum distribution under the Internal Revenue Code (the entire withdrawal will be subject to the withdrawal charge), or
 
 
amounts withdrawn in a total withdrawal, or
 
amounts applied to income payments on an Income Date that is within one year of the Issue Date.

The amount of the withdrawal charge deducted varies according to the following schedule and is based on Completed Years following each Premium (state variations may apply):

Withdrawal Charge (as a percentage of Premium payments):

Completed Years since Receipt of Premium
0-1
1-2
2-3
3-4
4-5
5+
   
 
6.5%
6.0%
5.0%
4.0%
3.0%
0%
   

Upon a partial or full withdrawal, the withdrawal charge percentage will be the lesser of the withdrawal charge percentage indicated above, or the maximum withdrawal charge percentage listed below.  In either case, the withdrawal charge percentage will decrease with each year until no longer applicable.

Beginning on the Contract Anniversary
on or After the Owner Attains the Age of:
 
Maximum Withdrawal Charge Percentage
88
5.50%
89
4.50%
90
3.75%
91
2.75%
92
1.75%
93
0.75%
94+
0.00%

For purposes of the withdrawal charge, we treat withdrawals as coming first from earnings and then from the oldest Remaining Premium.  If you make a full withdrawal, or elect to commence income payments within one year of the date your Contract was issued, the withdrawal charge is based on Premiums remaining in the Contract and no free withdrawal amount applies.  If you withdraw only part of the value of your Contract, we deduct the withdrawal charge from the remaining value in your Contract.  The withdrawal charge compensates us for costs associated with selling the Contracts.

Note:  Withdrawals under a non-qualified Contract will be taxable on an "income first" basis.  This means that any withdrawal from a non-qualified Contract that does not exceed the accumulated income under the Contract will be taxable in full.  Any withdrawals under a tax-qualified Contract will be taxable except to the extent that 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.

We do not assess the withdrawal charge on any amounts paid out as:

income payments during your Contract's income phase (but the withdrawal charge is deducted at the Income Date if income payments are commenced in the first Contract Year);
 
death benefits; or
 
withdrawals necessary to satisfy the required minimum distribution of the Internal Revenue Code (but if the withdrawal requested exceeds the required minimum distribution, then the entire withdrawal will be subject to the withdrawal charge).

We may reduce or waive the withdrawal charge when the Contract is purchased by employees, agents and financial representatives of the Company or its affiliates.  These transactions will be conducted in a non-discriminatory manner and under circumstances that reduce our sales expenses.

Liquidity Option Charge.  If you select the Liquidity Option, which provides for no withdrawal charges, you will pay 0.25% on an annual basis of the average daily Contract Value in the Investment Divisions regardless of whether you take any withdrawals.  Charges are deducted daily as part of the calculation of the value of the Accumulation Units. We stop deducting this charge on the date you annuitize.

Commutation Fee.  If you make a total withdrawal from your Contract after income payments have commenced under income option 4, or if after your death during the period for which payments are guaranteed to be made under income option 3 your Beneficiary elects to receive a lump sum payment, the amount received will be reduced by (a) minus (b) where:

(a) = the present value of the remaining income payments (as of the date of calculation) for the period for which payments are guaranteed to be made, discounted at the rate assumed in calculating the initial payment; and
 
(b) = the present value of the remaining income payments (as of the date of calculation) for the period for which payments are guaranteed to be made, discounted at a rate no more than 1.00% higher than the rate used in (a).

Other Expenses.  We pay the operating expenses of the Separate Account, including those not covered by the mortality and expense and administrative charges.  There are deductions from and expenses paid out of the assets of the Funds.  These expenses are described in the attached prospectus for the JNL Series Trust, JNL Variable Fund LLC , the JNL Investors Series Trust and Jackson Variable Series Trust.  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 TaxesWe 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.

DISTRIBUTION OF CONTRACTS

Jackson National Life Distributors LLC ("JNLD" or "Distributor"), located at 7601 Technology Way, Denver, Colorado 80237, serves as the distributor of the Contracts.  JNLD is a wholly owned subsidiary of Jackson National Life Insurance Company.  JNLD 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").  JNLD 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 internet (www.finra.org).

The Contract is offered to customers of various financial institutions, brokerage firms and their affiliate insurance agencies. No financial institution, brokerage firm or insurance agency has any legal responsibility to pay amounts that are owed under the Contract. The obligations and guarantees under the Contract are the sole responsibility of Jackson.  The financial institution, brokerage firm or insurance agency is responsible for delivery of various related disclosure documents and the accuracy of their oral description and recommendation of the purchase of the Contract.

Commissions are paid to broker-dealers who sell the Contracts.  While commissions may vary, they are not expected to exceed 6% of any Premium payment.  Where lower commissions are paid up front, we may also pay trail commissions.  We may also pay commissions on the Income Date if the annuity option selected involves a life contingency or a payout over a period of ten or more years.

Under certain circumstances, JNLD and/or Jackson may pay bonuses, overrides, and marketing allowances, in addition to the standard commissions.  These payments and/or reimbursements to broker-dealers are in recognition of their marketing and distribution and/or administrative services support.  They may not be offered to all broker-dealers, and the terms of any particular agreement may vary widely among broker-dealers depending on, among other things, products offered, the level and type of marketing and distribution support provided , assets under management, and the volume and size of the sales of our insurance products.  They may provide us greater access to the registered representatives of the broker-dealers receiving such compensation or may otherwise influence the broker-dealer and/or registered representative to present the Contracts more favorably than other investment alternatives.  Such compensation is subject to applicable state insurance law and regulation and the FINRA rules of conduct.  While such compensation may be significant, it will not cause any additional direct charge by us to you.

The two primary forms of such compensation paid by JNLD and/or Jackson are overrides and marketing support payments.  Overrides are payments that are designed as consideration for product placement, assets under management and sales volume.  Overrides are generally based on a fixed percentage of product sales and generally range from 10 to 50 basis points (0.10% to 0.50%).  Marketing support payments may be in the form of cash and/or non-cash compensation and allow us to, among other things, participate in sales conferences (for example, national, regional and top producer meetings), sponsorships and educational seminars.  Examples of such payments include, but are not limited to, reimbursements for representative training or "due diligence" meetings (including travel and lodging expenses), client events, speaker fees ,  business development and educational enhancement items, and other support services, including payments to third party vendors for such items.  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 FINRA rules of conduct, we may also provide cash and/or non-cash compensation to registered representatives in the form of gifts, promotional items and occasional meals and entertainment.  Individual registered representatives may receive differing levels of sales and service support.  Some support services may benefit the prospective or current contract owner.

We may use any of our corporate assets to cover the cost of distribution, including any profit from the Contract's mortality and expense risk charge and other charges.  Besides Jackson National Life Distributors LLC, we are affiliated with the following broker-dealers:

National Planning Corporation,
SII Investments, Inc.,
IFC Holdings, Inc. d/b/a Invest Financial Corporation,
Investment Centers of America, Inc., and
Curian Clearing LLC

The Distributor also has the following relationships with the sub-advisers and their affiliates.  The Distributor receives payments from certain sub-advisers to assist in defraying the costs of certain promotional and marketing meetings in which they 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 broker-dealers may also sell the retail mutual funds of certain sub-advisers.  In addition, the Distributor acts as distributor of variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (the "Other Contracts") issued by Jackson and its subsidiary, Jackson National Life Insurance Company of New York.  Unaffiliated broker-dealers are also compensated at the standard rates of compensation.  The compensation consists of commissions, trail commissions and other compensation or promotional incentives as described above and in the prospectus or statement of additional information for the Other Contracts.

All of the compensation described here, and other compensation or benefits provided by 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 possibly create a potential conflict of interest as it may influence your registered representative, broker-dealer or selling institution 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 registered representative or the broker-dealer.  You may ask your registered representative about any variations and how he or she and his or her broker-dealer are compensated for selling the Contract.

PURCHASES

Minimum Initial Premium:

$5,000 under most circumstances
 
 
$2,000 for a qualified plan Contract

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.

These minimums apply to purchases, but do not preclude subsequent partial withdrawals that would reduce Contract Values below the minimum initial purchase amounts, as long as the amount left in the account is sufficient to pay the withdrawal charge.  We reserve the right to limit the number of Contracts that you may purchase.  We also reserve the right to refuse any Premium payment.  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.

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.  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, if available.  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.

Y ou 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. 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 available Fixed Account Option you select to assure that the amount so allocated will equal, at the end of a selected period, 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 surrendered or transferred before the end of the selected guaranteed 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.

The Capital Protection Program is not available on Contracts with the Liquidity Option.

For an example of capital protection, assume you made a Premium payment of $10,000 when the interest rate for the seven -year guaranteed period was 3% per year.  We would allocate $ 8,131 to that Guarantee 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.


S horter Guarantee 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 Guarantee 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 Guarantee Period of this duration.

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.  The base Contract has different values of Accumulation Units than a Contract with the Liquidity Option, based on the differing amount of charges applied in calculating the values of Accumulation Units.

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 respective charges under your Contract.

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 Purchase 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 Purchase 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 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 15 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 Excess Interest 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.

In addition, 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;
·
Maximum transfers during any subsequent Contract Year, if you had Contract Value subject to these restrictions during the preceding Contract Year:
i.
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
ii.
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 15 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.

Under these policies and procedures, there is a $25 charge per transfer after 15 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 JNL/WMC Money Market Investment Division and the Fixed Account, Dollar Cost Averaging, Earnings Sweep or the 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 unless you elect not to have this privilege.  Any authorization you 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 and your 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.

You may elect to make partial withdrawals by telephone, provided that we have received your prior written authorization to take instructions over the telephone. The amount of the withdrawal requested cannot exceed 80% of the Contract Value, up to a gross maximum withdrawal of $50,000.  Telephone withdrawal requests may only be made by the Owner(s). Additional limitations may apply.

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 value of an Accumulation Unit 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 complete withdrawal,
 
by electing the Systematic Withdrawal Program,
 
by electing to receive income payments.

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

Withdrawals under the Contract may be subject to a withdrawal charge.  For purposes of the withdrawal charge, we treat withdrawals as coming first from earnings and then from the oldest Remaining Premium.  When you make a complete 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 all applicable withdrawal charges, adjusted for any applicable Excess Interest Adjustment.  For more information about withdrawal charges, please see "Withdrawal Charge" beginning on page 31. We will pay the withdrawal proceeds within seven days of a request in Good Order. If a Purchase 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 but, under certain circumstances, partial withdrawals by telephone are permitted.  For more information, please see "Telephone and Internet Transactions" above.  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.

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) or a specified percentage.  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.

If you have an investment adviser who, for a fee, manages your Contract Value, you may authorize payment of the fee from the Contract by requesting a partial withdrawal.  There are conditions and limitations, so please contact our Annuity Service Center for more information.  Our contact information is on the cover page of this prospectus.  We neither endorse any investment advisers, nor make any representations as to their qualifications.  The fee for this service would be covered in a separate agreement between the two of you, and would be in addition to the fees and expenses described in this prospectus.

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 44.

Liquidity OptionIf you elect the Liquidity Option, you will not pay a withdrawal charge when you make a partial or full withdrawal.  This option must be selected at issue.  This option removes the five year withdrawal charge schedule that would otherwise apply.  You will pay a charge of 0.25% on an annual basis of the average net asset value of your allocations to the Investment Divisions for this option.  The decision to elect the Liquidity Option should consider whether you anticipate taking or needing to take a large withdrawal that would otherwise be subject to charges under the five year withdrawal charge schedule imposed on each Premium payment.  The charge for the Liquidity Option applies until the date you annuitize whether or not you take any withdrawals.

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), a specified percentage or earnings.  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 withdrawal charge and an Excess Interest 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.  Unless you tell us otherwise, your income payments will be based on the Contract Value allocated to the fixed and variable options on the Income Date.

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 $5,000 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 $50 and state law permits, we may set the frequency of payments so that the first payment would be at least $50.

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, 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, or withdrawal charges and any Excess Interest 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 net investment rate of 1.0% for all options and, if you select an income option with a life contingency, the age and gender 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 net investment rate, then your income payments will increase; if that performance is less than the assumed net 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.

Option 1 - Life Income.  This income option provides monthly payments for your life.  No further payments are payable after your death.

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.

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 no more than 1% higher than the rate used to calculate the initial payment.  The calculation of the lump sum payment results in a Commutation Fee, which is further discussed on page 33.

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 no more than 1% higher than the rate used to calculate the initial payment.  The calculation of the lump sum payment results in a Commutation Fee, which is further discussed on page 33.

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 death benefit, which is payable during the accumulation phase.  The death benefit equals your Contract Value on the date we receive all required documentation from your Beneficiary.

The death benefit paid to your Beneficiary upon your death 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.

If you die before moving to the income phase, the person you have chosen as your Beneficiary will receive the death benefit.  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.

Payout Options.  The 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 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 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.

Unless the Beneficiary chooses to receive the entire death benefit in a single sum, the Beneficiary must elect a payout option within the 60-day period beginning with the date we receive proof of death and payments 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.  For more information, please see "Spousal Continuation Option" beginning on page 43.

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.  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.

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 corporation), 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.

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 44.) 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. We will waive withdrawal charges on any withdrawal necessary to satisfy the minimum distribution requirements. Withdrawals in excess of the minimum distribution requirements may be taken at any time, subject to applicable withdrawal charges.  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.

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 SAI.  You should consult your own tax adviser 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 adviser 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. Some broker-dealers only offer the Contracts as non-qualified contracts.

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 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 advisers 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 surrenders may be treated as a tax-free "partial 1035 exchange" (please see the Statement of Additional Information 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 purchase payments made under a salary reduction agreement from Tax-Sheltered Annuities.  Withdrawals can only be made when an Owner:

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.

Constructive Withdrawals – Investment Adviser Fees.  Withdrawals from non-qualified contracts for the payment of investment adviser fees will be considered taxable distributions from the Contract.  In a series of Private Letter Rulings, however, the Internal Revenue Service has held that the payment of investment adviser fees from a tax-qualified contract need not be considered a distribution for income tax purposes.  Under the facts in these Rulings:

there was a written agreement providing for payments of the fees solely from the annuity Contract,
 
the Contract Owner had no liability for the fees, and
 
the fees were paid solely from the annuity Contract to the adviser.

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.

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 adviser 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 advisor 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 offers 107 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 fixed and variable 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 15 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.

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.  (We do impose a so-called "Federal (DAC) Tax Charge" under variable life insurance policies, but the "Federal (DAC) Tax Charge" merely compensates us for the required deferral of acquisition cost and does not constitute company income taxes.)

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) while we impose a so-called "Federal (DAC) Tax Charge" under variable life insurance policies, we do not currently include company income taxes in the charges owners pay under the products.

OTHER INFORMATION

Dollar Cost Averaging.  If the amount allocated to the Investment Divisions plus the amount allocated to a Fixed Account Option is at least $15,000, 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 (if currently available) or any of the Investment Divisions (each a "Source Option").  Investment Divisions under a Guidance Model Portfolio also are available as Designated Options and Source Options.  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.

Dollar Cost Averaging Plus (DCA+).  The DCA+ Fixed Account Option is designed for dollar cost averaging transfers to Investment Divisions or systematic transfers to other Fixed Account Options.  DCA+  is subject to current availability.  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.

The DCA+ is not available on Contracts with the Liquidity Option.

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 have your earnings transferred automatically on a monthly basis from the one-year Fixed Account Option, if currently available, and the JNL/WMC Money Market Investment Division into other Investment Divisions and Fixed Account Options.  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.

Guidance Model Portfolios. The Elite Access Guidance Model Portfolios may be offered to you through your representative at no additional cost to assist in diversifying your investment across various asset classes of the available Investment Divisions (the "Guidance Model Portfolios" or "Models"). The Guidance Model Portfolios allow you to choose from ten Models designed to assist in meeting your stated investment goals. Each Guidance Model Portfolio is comprised of a carefully selected combination of Investment Divisions representing various asset classes. The Models allocate among the various asset classes to attempt to match certain combinations of investors' investment time horizon and risk tolerance. Please consult your representative for more information about investment based on the Guidance Model Portfolios.

Electing a Guidance Model Portfolio

Your representative is available to assist you in electing a Guidance Model Portfolio when you purchase your variable annuity or if after Contract issue. You should determine, with the assistance of your representative, as needed, which Model is most appropriate for you based on your financial needs, risk tolerance and investment time horizon. You may request to discontinue the use of a Model by notifying your representative who will advise you on how to execute your decision.

You may also choose to invest gradually into a Guidance Model Portfolio through the Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) program. Please see "Dollar Cost Averaging" above.

You may invest in more than one Guidance Model Portfolio at a time and also invest in other Investment Divisions that are not part of the Guidance Model Portfolios. If you split your investment in one or more Guidance Model Portfolios, your investment may no longer be consistent with the Guidance Model Portfolio's intended objectives. Additionally, if you invest in any Investment Divisions in addition to investing in a Guidance Model Portfolio, such an investment may not be or remain consistent with the Guidance Model Portfolio's intended objectives you selected.  Therefore, if you invest in a Guidance Model Portfolio, you should speak with your  representative before investing in other Investment Divisions that are not part of the Guidance Model Portfolios.

You may request withdrawals, as permitted by your Contract, which will be taken proportionately from each of the allocations in the selected Guidance Model Portfolio unless otherwise indicated in your withdrawal instructions. If you choose to make a non-proportional withdrawal from the Investment Divisions in the Guidance Model Portfolio, your investment may no longer be consistent with the Guidance Model Portfolio's intended objectives. Withdrawals may be subject to a withdrawal charge and the usual tax consequences apply.

As further discussed with your representative, you can transfer 100% of your investment from each Guidance Model Portfolio to other Guidance Model Portfolios at any time; you will be transferred into the then current Models available. As a result of your transfer, you will need to update your allocation instructions on file with respect to subsequent Purchase Payments and, if applicable, DCA allocation instructions and Rebalancing instructions, if you want to reflect your new Model selection. Transfers where allocation and balancing instructions are not applicable, such as transfers of partial investments in a Model or transfers to multiple Models will require more detailed accompanying new instructions. Transfers in excess of 15 in a Contract Year may be subject to a charge (see "Transfer Charge" on page 31 ).

New Guidance Model Portfolios may be configured from time to time. The existing Models will remain unchanged. Thus, once you invest in a Model, the percentages of your Contract Value allocated to each Investment Division within the selected Model will not be changed by us. Any subsequent Purchase Payments will be invested in the same Guidance Model Portfolio as your existing Model and will not be invested in the then current Guidance Model Portfolios allocations, unless we receive specific written instructions to change to a new Guidance Model Portfolio. Your representative can provide you with information regarding the availability and nature of any new Guidance Model Portfolios and your selection of ones that meet your needs and goals. You should speak with your representative about how to keep the Investment Division allocations in your Guidance Model Portfolio in line with your investment goals over time.

Please see "Dollar Cost Averaging" above and "Rebalancing" below.

A subsequent Purchase Payment will be invested in the same Guidance Model Portfolio as your current investment unless we receive different instructions from you. You should consult with your representative to determine if you should update your allocation instructions, DCA target allocation instructions and/or Rebalancing program instructions on file when you make a subsequent Purchase Payment. Consideration of your investment time horizon and other of your investment goals may be relevant to the selection of any or certain Portfolio Guidance Portfolios if you have elected the Liquidity Option.

You can elect to have your investment in the Guidance Model Portfolios rebalanced quarterly, semi-annually, or annually to maintain the target asset allocation among the Investment Divisions of the Model you selected. Over time, the Guidance Model Portfolio you select may no longer align with its original investment objective due to the effects of Investment Division performance and changes in the Investment Division's investment objectives. Therefore, if you do not elect to have your investment in the Guidance Model Portfolio rebalanced at least annually, then your investment may no longer be consistent with the Guidance Model Portfolio's intended objectives. In addition, your investment goals, financial situation and risk tolerance may change over time. You should consult with your representative about how to keep your Guidance Model Portfolio's allocations in line with your investment goals. Finally, changes in investment objectives or management of the underlying Funds invested in by the Investment Divisions in the Models may mean that, over time, the Models no longer are consistent with their original investment goals.

Important Information about the Guidance Model Portfolios

The Guidance Model Portfolios are not intended as investment advice about investing in the Investment Divisions, and we do not provide investment advice regarding whether a Guidance Model Portfolio should be revised or whether it remains appropriate to invest in accordance with any particular Guidance Model Portfolio. The Guidance Model Portfolios do not guarantee greater or more consistent returns. Future market and asset class performance may differ from the historical performance upon which the Guidance Model Portfolios may have been built. Also, allocation to a single asset class may outperform a Model, so that you could have better investment returns investing in a single asset class than in a Guidance Model Portfolio. However, such a strategy may involve a greater degree of risk because of the concentration of similar securities in a single asset class. Further, there can be no assurance that any Investment Division chosen for a particular Guidance Model Portfolio will perform well or that its performance will closely reflect that of the asset class it is designed to represent.

The Guidance Model Portfolios represent suggested allocations that are provided to you as general guidance through your representative. You should work with your representative in determining if one of the Guidance Model Portfolios meets your financial needs, investment time horizon, and is consistent with your risk tolerance level. Information concerning the specific Guidance Model Portfolios can be obtained from your representative.

We reserve the right to change the Investment Divisions and/or allocations to certain Investment Divisions in each Model to the extent that Investment Divisions or the Funds in which they invest are liquidated, substituted, merged or otherwise reorganized.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend or terminate the Guidance Model Portfolios at any time.

Rebalancing.  You can arrange to have us automatically reallocate your Contract Value among Investment Divisions (including Investment Divisions under Guidance Model Portfolios) 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

the 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 Purchase 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 or the JNL/WMC Money Market Investment Division 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.
 
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 mortality and expense risk and administration charges and may reflect the deduction of the annual contract maintenance and withdrawal charges.

Restrictions Under the Texas Optional Retirement Program (ORP).  Contracts issued to participants in ORP contain restrictions required under the Texas Administrative Code.  In accordance with those restrictions, a participant in ORP will not be permitted to make withdrawals prior to such participant's retirement, death, attainment of age 70 1/2 or termination of employment in a Texas public institution of higher education.  The restrictions on withdrawal do not apply in the event a participant in ORP transfers the Contract Value to another approved contract or vendor during the period of ORP participation.  These requirements will apply to any other jurisdiction with comparable requirements.

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.  This confirmation statement will provide details about the transaction.  Certain transactions which are made on a periodic or systematic basis will be confirmed in a quarterly statement only.

It is important that you carefully review the information contained in the statements that confirm your transactions.  If you believe an error has occurred you must notify us in writing within 30 days of receipt of the statement so we can make any appropriate adjustments.  If we do not receive notice of any such potential error, we may not be responsible for correcting the error.

Legal Proceedings.  Jackson and its subsidiaries are defendants in a number of civil proceedings, including class actions, arising in the ordinary course of business. These include civil litigation proceedings which appear to be substantially similar to other class action litigation brought against many life insurers alleging misconduct in the sale of insurance products. We do not believe at the present time that any pending action or proceeding will have a material adverse effect upon the Separate Account, Jackson's ability to meet its obligations under the Contracts, or Jackson National Life Distributors LLC's ability to perform its contract with the Separate Account.

There is no assurance that investment products based on the Indices will accurately track index performance or provide positive investment returns.  S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC is not an investment advisor.  Inclusion of a security within an index is not a recommendation by S&P Dow Jones Indices to buy, sell, or hold such security, nor is it considered to be investment advice.

Dow Jones, SPDJI and their respective affiliates do not:

Standard & Poor's Investment Advisory Services LLC ("SPIAS") is a registered investment advisor with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and a wholly owned subsidiary of McGraw-Hill Financial, Inc. SPIAS does not provide advice to underlying clients of the firms to which it provides services. SPIAS does not act as a "fiduciary" or as an "investment manager," as defined under ERISA, to any investor. SPIAS is not responsible for client suitability.

Programs and products of the firms to which SPIAS provides services are not endorsed, sold or promoted by SPIAS and its affiliates, and SPIAS and its affiliates make no representation regarding the advisability of investing in those programs and products. With respect to the asset allocations and investments recommended by SPIAS, investors should realize that such investment recommendations are provided to Jackson National Asset Management, LLC only as a general recommendation. The underlying funds of the JNL/S&P 4 Fund are co-sub-advised by SPIAS. SPIAS does not co-sub-advise the JNL/S&P 4 Fund. There is no agreement or understanding whatsoever that SPIAS will provide individualized advice to any investor. SPIAS does not take into account any information about any investor or any investor's assets when providing investment advisory services to firms to which SPIAS provides services. SPIAS does not have any discretionary authority or control with respect to purchasing or selling securities or making other investments. Individual investors should ultimately rely on their own judgment and/or the judgment of a representative in making their investment decisions.

Standard & Poor's  Financial Services LLC, SPIAS, and their affiliates (collectively S&P), and any third-party providers, as well as their directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents (collectively with S&P,  S&P Parties) do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, adequacy or timeliness of any information, including ratings and valuations, and are not responsible for errors and omissions, or for the results obtained from the use of such information, and S&P Parties shall have no liability for any errors, omission, or interruptions therein (negligent or otherwise), regardless of the cause, or for the results obtained from the use of such information. S&P PARTIES DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, SUITABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE. In no event shall S&P Parties be liable to any party for any direct, indirect, incidental, exemplary, compensatory, punitive, special or consequential damages, costs, expenses, legal fees, or losses (including, without limitation, lost income or lost profits and opportunity costs or losses caused by negligence) in connection with any use of the information contained in this document even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

S&P's credit ratings are statements of opinion as of the date they are expressed and not statements of fact or recommendations to purchase, hold, or sell any securities or to make any investment decisions.  S&P credit ratings should not be relied on when making any investment or other business decision.  S&P's opinions and analyses do not address the suitability of any security.  S&P does not act as a fiduciary or an investment advisor, except where registered as such. While S&P has obtained information from sources they believe to be reliable, S&P does not perform an audit and undertakes no duty of due diligence or independent verification of any information it receives.

To the extent that regulatory authorities allow a rating agency to acknowledge in one jurisdiction a rating issued in another jurisdiction for certain regulatory purposes, S&P reserves the right to assign, withdraw or suspend such acknowledgement at any time and in its sole discretion. S&P Parties disclaim any duty whatsoever arising out of the assignment, withdrawal or suspension of an acknowledgment as well as any liability for any damage alleged to have been suffered on account thereof.

S&P keeps certain activities of its business units separate from each other in order to preserve the independence and objectivity of their respective activities. As a result, certain business units of S&P may have information that is not available to other S&P business units. S&P has established policies and procedures to maintain the confidentiality of certain non-public information received in connection with each analytical process.

S&P may receive compensation for its ratings and certain analyses, normally from issuers or underwriters of securities or from obligors. S&P reserves the right to disseminate its opinions and analyses. S&P's public ratings and analyses are made available on its Web sites, www.standardandpoors.com (free of charge), and www.ratingsdirect.com and www.globalcreditportal.com (subscription), and may be distributed through other means, including via S&P publications and third party redistributors. Additional information about our ratings fees is available at www.standardandpoors.com/usratingsfees.

Based on a universe of funds provided to SPIAS, SPIAS may recommend for investment certain funds to which S&P licenses certain intellectual property or otherwise has a financial interest, including exchange-traded funds whose investment objective is to substantially replicate the returns of a proprietary index of S&P Dow Jones Indices, such as the S&P 500. SPIAS recommends these funds for investment based on asset allocation, sector representation, liquidity and other factors; however, SPIAS has a potential conflict of interest with respect to the inclusion of these funds.  In cases where S&P is paid fees that are tied to the amount of assets that are invested in the fund, investment in the fund will generally result in S&P earning compensation in addition to the fees received by SPIAS in connection with its provision of services.  In certain cases there may be alternative funds that are available for investment that will provide investors substantially similar exposure to the asset class or sector.

S&P provides a wide range of services to, or relating to, many organizations, including issuers of securities, investment advisers, broker-dealers, investment banks, other financial institutions and financial intermediaries, and accordingly may receive fees or other economic benefits from those organizations, including organizations whose securities or services they may recommend, rate, include in model portfolios, evaluate or otherwise address.

SPIAS may consider research and other information from affiliates in making its investment recommendations. The investment policies of certain portfolios specifically state that among the information SPIAS will consider in evaluating a security are the credit ratings assigned by S&P.  SPIAS does not consider the ratings assigned by other credit rating agencies. Credit rating criteria and scales may differ among credit rating agencies. Ratings assigned by other credit rating agencies may reflect more or less favorable opinions of creditworthiness than ratings assigned by S&P.

The Funds are not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by S&P and its affiliates and S&P and its affiliates make no representation regarding the advisability of investing in the Funds.

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.

If the annualized charge for your Contract falls between the charge for a base Contract and a Contract with the most expensive combination of charges and optional benefits, information about the values of all remaining Accumulation Units is available in the SAI.  Contact the Annuity Service Center to request your copy of the SAI free of charge. Our contact information is on the cover page of the prospectus.  Also, please ask about the more timely values of Accumulation Units that are available for each Investment Division.

With respect to the asset allocations and investments recommended by SPIAS, investors should realize that such investment recommendations are provided to Jackson National Asset Management, LLC only as a general recommendation. The underlying funds of the JNL/S&P 4 Fund are co-sub-advised by SPIAS. SPIAS does not co-sub-advise the JNL/S&P 4 Fund.

Standard & Poor's  Financial Services LLC, SPIAS, and their affiliates (collectively S&P), and any third-party providers, as well as their directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents (collectively with S&P,  S&P Parties) do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, adequacy or timeliness of any information, including ratings and valuations, and are not responsible for errors and omissions, or for the results obtained from the use of such information, and S&P Parties shall have no liability for any errors, omission, or interruptions therein (negligent or otherwise), regardless of the cause, or for the results obtained from the use of such information. S&P PARTIES DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, SUITABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE. In no event shall S&P Parties be liable to any party for any direct, indirect, incidental, exemplary, compensatory, punitive, special or consequential damages, costs, expenses, legal fees, or losses (including, without limitation, lost income or lost profits and opportunity costs or losses caused by negligence) in connection with any use of the information contained in this document even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

S&P's credit ratings are statements of opinion as of the date they are expressed and not statements of fact or recommendations to purchase, hold, or sell any securities or to make any investment decisions.  S&P credit ratings should not be relied on when making any investment or other business decision.  S&P's opinions and analyses do not address the suitability of any security.  S&P does not act as a fiduciary or an investment advisor, except where registered as such. While S&P has obtained information from sources they believe to be reliable, S&P does not perform an audit and undertakes no duty of due diligence or independent verification of any information it receives.

To the extent that regulatory authorities allow a rating agency to acknowledge in one jurisdiction a rating issued in another jurisdiction for certain regulatory purposes, S&P reserves the right to assign, withdraw or suspend such acknowledgement at any time and in its sole discretion. S&P Parties disclaim any duty whatsoever arising out of the assignment, withdrawal or suspension of an acknowledgment as well as any liability for any damage alleged to have been suffered on account thereof.

S&P keeps certain activities of its business units separate from each other in order to preserve the independence and objectivity of their respective activities. As a result, certain business units of S&P may have information that is not available to other S&P business units. S&P has established policies and procedures to maintain the confidentiality of certain non-public information received in connection with each analytical process.

S&P may receive compensation for its ratings and certain analyses, normally from issuers or underwriters of securities or from obligors. S&P reserves the right to disseminate its opinions and analyses. S&P's public ratings and analyses are made available on its Web sites, www.standardandpoors.com (free of charge), and www.ratingsdirect.com and www.globalcreditportal.com (subscription), and may be distributed through other means, including via S&P publications and third party redistributors. Additional information about our ratings fees is available at www.standardandpoors.com/usratingsfees.

Based on a universe of funds provided to SPIAS, SPIAS may recommend for investment certain funds to which S&P licenses certain intellectual property or otherwise has a financial interest, including exchange-traded funds whose investment objective is to substantially replicate the returns of a proprietary index of S&P Dow Jones Indices, such as the S&P 500. SPIAS recommends these funds for investment based on asset allocation, sector representation, liquidity and other factors; however, SPIAS has a potential conflict of interest with respect to the inclusion of these funds.  In cases where S&P is paid fees that are tied to the amount of assets that are invested in the fund, investment in the fund will generally result in S&P earning compensation in addition to the fees received by SPIAS in connection with its provision of services.  In certain cases there may be alternative funds that are available for investment that will provide investors substantially similar exposure to the asset class or sector.

S&P provides a wide range of services to, or relating to, many organizations, including issuers of securities, investment advisers, broker-dealers, investment banks, other financial institutions and financial intermediaries, and accordingly may receive fees or other economic benefits from those organizations, including organizations whose securities or services they may recommend, rate, include in model portfolios, evaluate or otherwise address.

SPIAS may consider research and other information from affiliates in making its investment recommendations. The investment policies of certain portfolios specifically state that among the information SPIAS will consider in evaluating a security are the credit ratings assigned by S&P.  SPIAS does not consider the ratings assigned by other credit rating agencies. Credit rating criteria and scales may differ among credit rating agencies. Ratings assigned by other credit rating agencies may reflect more or less favorable opinions of creditworthiness than ratings assigned by S&P.

The Funds are not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by S&P and its affiliates and S&P and its affiliates make no representation regarding the advisability of investing in the Funds.

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), 7601 Technology Way, Denver, Colorado 80237.  JNLD is a subsidiary of Jackson.

For Elite Access® contracts, t he aggregate amount of commissions paid to broker/dealers was $41,853,859 in 2012 ,  $127,128,371 in 2013 , and $164,234,871 in 2014 .  JNLD did not retain any portion of the commissions.

Calculation of Performance

When Jackson advertises performance for an Investment Division (except the JNL/WMC 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.

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.  The Contract is designed for long-term investment; therefore, Jackson believes that non-standardized total return that does not reflect the deduction of any applicable withdrawal charge may be useful to investors.  Reflecting the deduction of the withdrawal charge decreases the level of performance advertised. 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:

            
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 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 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 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 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 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 Money Market Division nor that Division's investment in the JNL/WMC 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 ADVISER.  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 advisers 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 the 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 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 offers 107 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 fixed and variable 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 15 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 adviser 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 advisers 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 adviser before purchasing a Contract to be owned by a non-natural person.

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.

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, annuitant 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 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 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.  Purchase payments for Roth IRA annuities are limited to a maximum of $5,500 for 201 5 .  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.

Lower maximum limitations apply to individuals above certain adjusted gross income levels.  For 2015 , these levels are $11 6 ,000 in the case of single taxpayers, $18 3 ,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 $5,500 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 includible compensation or the $ 18,000 elective deferral limitation in 201 5 .  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
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 a 1% per annum assumed investment rate.

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% per annum.

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);
 
(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 asset-based charges (the mortality and expense risk charge), administration charge, and any applicable charges for the Contract's optional benefit.

Also see "Income Payments (The Income Phase)" in the Prospectus.

Condensed Financial Information

Accumulation Unit Values

The tables reflect the Accumulation Unit values 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 Contracts with all levels of charges (and combinations of optional benefits), except base Contracts (with Administration Charge waiver and no optional benefits) or Contracts with the most expensive combination of charges and optional benefits, which can be found in the Prospectus.  The tables do not provide partial year information.  The tables provide Accumulation Unit values and the number of Accumulation Units outstanding only if that information is available throughout the period.  Where Accumulation Unit values 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 (our 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.

Jackson National Separate Account I
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2014
 
Note 1 – Organization

Jackson National Life Insurance Company (“Jackson”) established Jackson National Separate Account I (the “Separate Account”) on June 14, 1993. The Separate Account commenced operations on October 16, 1995, and is a unit investment trust registered with the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

The Separate Account is a separate investment account of Jackson, its assets legally belong to Jackson and the obligations under the contracts are the obligation of Jackson. However, the contract assets in the Separate Account are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business Jackson may conduct.

Jackson National Separate Account I
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
December 31, 2014
 
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 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, 2014.

FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement”

This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. Various inputs are used in determining the value of an entity’s investments under FASB ASC Topic 820 guidance. The inputs used to value the securities in the Funds are summarized into three broad categories:

72

 
Jackson National Separate Account I
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
December 31, 2014
 
Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
·
Level 1 includes valuations based on quoted prices of identical securities in active markets, including valuations for securities listed on a national or foreign stock exchange or investments in mutual funds and securities lending collateral, which is valued as a practical expedient at its daily reported NAV.
·
Level 2 includes valuations determined from significant direct or indirect observable inputs. Direct observable inputs include broker quotes, third party prices, closing prices of similar securities in active markets, closing prices for identical or similar securities in non-active markets or corporate action or reorganization entitlement values. Indirect significant observable inputs include factors such as interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds or credit ratings. Level 2 includes valuations for fixed income securities, including certain term loans, over the counter derivatives, centrally cleared swap agreements, broker quotes in active markets, securities subject to corporate actions, securities valued at amortized cost, international equity securities priced by an independent statistical fair value pricing service, swap agreements valued by pricing services or ADRs and GDRs for which quoted prices in active markets are not available.
·
Level 3 includes valuations determined from significant unobservable inputs including an entity’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of the investment. Inputs used to determine the fair value of Level 3 securities include security specific inputs such as: credit quality, credit rating spreads, issuer news, trading characteristics, call features, maturity or anticipated cash flows; or industry specific inputs such as: trading activity of similar markets or securities, changes in the security’s underlying index or changes in comparable securities’ models. Level 3 valuations include securities that are priced based on single source broker quotes, term loans that do not meet certain liquidity thresholds, where prices may be unavailable due to halted trading, restricted to resale due to market events, private placements, newly issued or investments for which reliable quotes are otherwise not available.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing Funds are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those Funds. 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. As of December 31, 2014, 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 NAVs. Therefore, all investments in Funds have been categorized as Level 1.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, there were no transfers out of Level 1 securities.
 
Note 3 – Contract Charges

Under the term of the contracts, certain charges are allocated to the contract owner to compensate Jackson’s 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 - $50 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 or in conjunction with a total withdrawal, as applicable. This charge is only imposed 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.

Note 3 – Contract Charges (continued)

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 contracts. 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
 
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.

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 0.60% to 1.80%, 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 National Separate Account I
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
December 31, 2014
 
Note 3 – Contract Charges (continued)

Jackson deducts a daily base contract charge from the net assets of the Separate Account equivalent to an annual rate of 0.15% 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

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 $7,965,508 and $12,920,132 to the Separate Account in the form of additional premium to contract owners’ accounts for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These amounts are included in purchase payments received from contract owners.

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 expenses 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 expenses 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.
***
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.

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 expenses 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 expenses 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.
***
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.

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 expenses 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 expenses 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.
***
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.

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 expenses 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 expenses 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.
***
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.

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 expenses 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 expenses 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.
***
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.

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 expenses 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 expenses 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.
***
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.

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 expenses 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 expenses 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.
***
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.

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 expenses 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 expenses 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.

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 expenses 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 expenses 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.
***
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.

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 expenses 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 expenses 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.
***
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.

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 expenses 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 expenses 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.
***
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.

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 expenses 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 expenses 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.
***
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.

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 expenses 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 expenses 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.
***
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.

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 expenses 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 expenses 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.
***
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.

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 expenses 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 expenses 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.
***
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.

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 expenses 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 expenses 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.
***
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.

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 expenses 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 expenses 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.
***
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.

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 expenses 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 expenses 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.
***
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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
The Board of Directors
Jackson National Life Insurance Company and
Contract Owners of Jackson National Separate Account I:

 
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of each Investment Division within Jackson National Separate Account I (the “Company”), as of December 31, 2014, and the related statement of operations for the year or period then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years or periods in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2014, by correspondence with the transfer agent of the underlying mutual funds and other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each Investment Division within the Company as of December 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the year or period then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years or periods in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The Board of Directors and Stockholder
Jackson National Life Insurance Company:
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Jackson National Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated income statements, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2014. 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 conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Jackson National Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2014, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

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, Squire Reassurance Company LLC (“Squire Re”), 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, Curian Clearing, LLC and Curian Capital, LLC;
 ·  
PGDS (US One) LLC (“PGDS”), a wholly owned subsidiary that provides information technology services to Jackson and certain affiliates;
·  
Hermitage Management, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary that holds and manages certain real estate related investments;
·  
Other insignificant wholly owned subsidiaries; and
·  
Other insignificant partnerships, limited liability companies and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which Jackson has a controlling interest or is deemed the primary beneficiary.
 
Acquisition
On September 4, 2012, the Company acquired 100% of the equity of SRLC America Holding Corp. (“SRLC”) from Swiss Re Life Capital Ltd (“Swiss Re”) for a preliminary purchase price of $663.3 million, which was reduced by a $73.9 million current net operating loss carryback income tax recoverable, resulting in an initial cash payment of $589.4 million at the time of sale. Subsequent adjustments through December 31, 2012 reduced the preliminary purchase price from $663.3 million to $587.3 million, which was subject to final agreement with Swiss Re. In 2013, after finalizing the opening balance sheet and the resolution of purchase price discussions with Swiss Re, the final purchase price was settled at $605.1 million.

SRLC’s primary subsidiary was Reassure America Life Insurance Company (“REALIC”), which was merged into Jackson as of December 31, 2012. REALIC’s primary business activity involved the acquisition of blocks of life insurance, including corporate owned life insurance, disability income and/or annuity contracts in force. In addition to REALIC, SRLC had other insignificant subsidiaries. Subsequent to the purchase, SRLC was dissolved and its subsidiaries became direct subsidiaries of Jackson.

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 2013 notes to the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2014 presentation.

During 2014, the Company identified certain balance sheet misclassifications through the application of its internal controls over financial reporting. After consideration was given to both qualitative and quantitative factors, the misclassifications were considered to be immaterial to the previously issued December 31, 2013 consolidated financial statements. The 2013 balances were corrected and resulted in a reduction of reinsurance recoverable and reserves for future policy benefits and claims payable of $761.6 million and a reclassification from reserves for future policy benefits and claims payable to other contract holder funds of $4,411.4 million. These items had no impact on the consolidated income statements, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of equity or consolidated statements of cash flows.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2014 and 2013

 
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 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 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 financial statements in the periods the estimates are changed.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Changes in Accounting Principles – Adopted in Current Year
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists,” in order to explicitly define the financial statement presentation requirements in GAAP. ASU No. 2013-11 provides that unrecognized tax benefits should be presented as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss or other tax credit carryforward when settlement in this manner is available under the tax law. Effective January 1, 2014, the Company adopted ASU No. 2013-11 with no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-08, “Financial Services – Investment Companies – Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements,” which amends the criteria a company must meet to qualify as an investment company and provides comprehensive accounting guidance for assessing whether an entity is an investment company. Effective January 1, 2014, the Company adopted ASU No. 2013-08 with no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Changes in Accounting Principles – Issued but Not Yet Adopted
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern,” which defines management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related disclosures in the footnotes. Management is required to evaluate for each annual period whether it is probable that the entity will not be able to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that financial statements are issued, or available to be issued. ASU No. 2014-15 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-11, “Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings and Disclosures.” The new guidance changes the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchase financing such that they will be consistent with secured borrowing accounting. In addition, the guidance requires new disclosures for all repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions. ASU No. 2014-11 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2014 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which clarifies the principles of recognizing revenue. This standard 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. The FASB defines a five-step process which systematically identifies the various components of the revenue recognition process, culminating with the recognition of revenue upon satisfaction of an entity’s performance obligation. The guidance also requires additional disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from cost incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. This guidance does not apply to insurance contracts within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 944, “Financial Services – Insurance.” Early adoption is not permitted. ASU No. 2014-09 is effective retrospectively for periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

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 securities.

Investments
Fixed maturities consist primarily of bonds, notes, and asset-backed securities. Acquisition discounts and premiums on fixed maturities 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 $662.8 million and $826.3 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Fixed maturities 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 are classified as trading. Trading 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.

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. In connection with the acquisition of REALIC, the Company elected the fair value option upon acquisition of policy loans held as collateral for reinsurance, further described below. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, $3.2 billion and $3.1 billion of these loans were carried at fair value, respectively, which the Company believes is equal to the unpaid principal balances plus accrued investment income. At both December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had $1.3 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 limited partnerships and real estate. The Company has elected the fair value option for limited partnerships, which is consistent with the role of these investments within the investment portfolio. Carrying values for limited partnership investments are 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.

Real estate is carried at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value.

The Company holds interests in VIEs that represent primary beneficial interests. These consolidated VIEs are comprised of entities structured to hold and manage investments.

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.

In connection with the acquisition of REALIC, 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, which 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 2014, 2013, or 2012.

The Company generally uses freestanding derivative instruments for hedging purposes. Additionally, certain liabilities, primarily trust instruments supported by funding agreements, index linked annuities and guarantees offered

Jackson National Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2014 and 2013

 
in connection with variable annuities issued by the Company, may contain embedded derivative instruments. 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 fixed maturity 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). Limited partnership interests and those embedded derivative instruments 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 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 fixed maturities available for sale 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 fixed maturities available for sale, net of applicable tax, is credited or charged directly to equity as a component of other comprehensive income. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, deferred acquisition costs decreased by $725.9 million and $591.0 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 2014 and 2013, 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, 2014 and 2013, projected returns after the next five years were set at 7.4%. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, projected returns under mean reversion were within the range bounded by the 15% cap and 0% floor.

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 2014, 2013, and 2012.

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 index linked 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 fixed maturities available for sale 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 fixed maturities available for sale, net of applicable tax, is credited or charged directly to

equity as a component of other comprehensive income. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, deferred sales inducements decreased by $129.9 million and $104.8 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 2014, 2013, and 2012.

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 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.

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.

In connection with and prior to the previously mentioned acquisition, REALIC entered into 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 written or assumed by REALIC.

As a result of these retro treaties, the Company holds certain assets, primarily in the form of policy loans and fixed maturities, 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, at acquisition, 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.

Value of Business Acquired
As a result of the acquisition of SRLC in 2012, the Company recorded 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, 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 the acquired traditional life insurance products and deferred annuity contracts, as a result of the acquisition of SRLC. This intangible asset will be 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 and Jackson National Life Insurance Company of New York. 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 aren’t 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. Mortality assumptions range from 25% to 175% of the 1975-1980 Basic Select and Ultimate tables depending on policy duration. Interest rate assumptions range from 2.5% to 6.0%. Lapse and expense assumptions are based 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.

Upon acquisition of REALIC, 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 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 the REALIC acquired business. For deferred annuities, the liability is the policyholder’s account value, plus the unamortized balance of the fair value adjustment related to the REALIC acquired business. 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 index linked annuities is based on two components, 1) the imputed value of the underlying guaranteed host contract and 2) the fair value of the embedded option component of the contract.

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 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, 2014 and 2013, the assets and liabilities associated with variable life and annuity contracts were $127.5 billion and $108.8 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, 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 $332.0 million and $290.6 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, 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. For equity settled share award plans, the Company recognizes compensation expense based on a grant-date award fair value as determined using either the Black-Scholes model or the Monte Carlo model, ratably over the requisite service period of each individual grant, which generally equals the vesting period. For the liability settled share award plans, the associated compensation expense is recognized based on the change in fair value of the award at the end of each reporting period due to cash settlement alternatives.

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 policyholder 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 6, 2015, which is the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

3.
Investments

Investments are comprised primarily of fixed-income securities, 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.

Fixed Maturities
The following table sets forth the composition of the fair value of fixed maturities at December 31, 2014, 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, 2014, the carrying value of investments rated by the Company’s affiliated investment advisor totaled $256.6 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, 2014, based on ratings by NRSROs, of the total carrying value of fixed maturities in an unrealized loss position, 83% were investment grade, 7% were below investment grade and 10% were not rated. Unrealized losses on fixed maturities that were below investment grade or not rated were approximately 28% of the aggregate gross unrealized losses on available for sale fixed maturities.

Corporate securities in an unrealized loss position were diversified across industries. As of December 31, 2014, the industries accounting for the larger percentage of unrealized losses included energy (31% of fixed maturities gross unrealized losses) and basic industry (8%). The largest unrealized loss related to a single corporate obligor was $7.4 million at December 31, 2014.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairments on Available For Sale Securities
The Company periodically reviews its available for sale fixed maturities 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.

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, 2014 and 2013, assumed default rates for delinquent loans ranged from 15% to 100%. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, 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 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.

Commercial Mortgage Loans
Commercial mortgage loans of $6.0 billion and $6.1 billion at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, are reported net of an allowance for loan losses of $5.8 million and $11.5 million at each date, respectively. At December 31, 2014, commercial mortgage loans were collateralized by properties located in 44 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 and, during 2014, 2013, and 2012, recognized impairment charges against the allowance for loan losses of $9.0 million, $1.0 million, and $8.4 million, respectively. In addition, Jackson recorded impairments as a realized loss of $2.7 million during 2014 and $3.2 million during 2013. In 2012, Jackson did not record any impairments as a realized loss.

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. As such, Jackson’s consolidated financial statements include MSDW assets of $14.6 million and $25.4 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

In 2004, Jackson acquired a $47.5 million debt interest in a limited purpose entity, SERVES 2004-1 (“SERVES 3”), formed to pass through leveraged investment returns based on the performance of an underlying reference pool of syndicated bank loans totaling up to $300.0 million. As a result of the additional exposure to SERVES 3 upon entering into option put and forbearance agreements in 2008 and 2009, Jackson determined that it was the primary beneficiary and, accordingly, consolidated SERVES 3 in its financial statements. In August 2013, SERVES 3 was unwound.

Other Invested Assets
Other invested assets primarily include investments in limited partnerships and real estate. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, investments in limited partnerships had carrying values of $1,176.6 million and $1,310.4 million, respectively. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, real estate totaling $205.1 million and $160.4 million, respectively, included foreclosed properties with a book value of $0.7 million in both years.

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, 2014 and 2013, the estimated fair value of loaned securities was $189.2 million and $93.6 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, 2014 and 2013, cash collateral received in the amount of $196.6 million and $95.8 million, respectively, was invested by the agent banks and included in cash and cash equivalents of the Company. A securities lending payable is included in liabilities for 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 consolidated balance sheets. During 2014 and 2013, short-term borrowings under such agreements averaged $97.6 million and $229.4 million, respectively, with weighted average interest rates of 0.12% and 0.08% during 2014 and 2013, respectively. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the outstanding balance was $289.6 million and $415.3 million, respectively, which was included within other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Interest expense totaled $0.1 million, $0.2 million, and $0.3 million in 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. The highest level of short-term borrowings at any month end was $289.6 million in 2014 and $691.5 million in 2013.

Investment income of $3.6 million, $64.9 million, and $25.0 million was recognized on trading securities held at December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In addition, investment income (loss) of $9.1 million, $(25.1) million and $0.8 million, respectively, was recognized on securities carried at fair value recorded through income.

During 2014, investment income was reduced by $305.8 million for expense incurred on the liability for funds held under reinsurance treaties, including $296.1 million on policy loans, $2.5 million of fixed maturity income and a $7.2 million gain on fixed maturities with fair value recorded through the income statement. During 2013, investment income was reduced by $263.2 million for expense incurred on the liability for funds held under reinsurance treaties, including $287.1 million on policy loans, $5.5 million of fixed maturity income and a $29.6 million loss on fixed maturities with fair value recorded through the income statement. The net investment income on derivative instruments included in the above table is further detailed in Note 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
 
27

 
Jackson National Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2014 and 2013

 
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 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 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, 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.

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, 2014 and 2013, the fair value of Jackson’s net derivative assets by counterparty were $1,050.8 million and $692.8 million, respectively, and held collateral was $1,065.1 million and $787.7 million, respectively, related to these agreements. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the fair value of Jackson’s net derivative liabilities by counterparty was $14.5 million and $277.7 million, respectively, and provided collateral was $18.5 million and $208.2 million, respectively, related to these agreements. If all of the downgrade provisions had been triggered at December 31, 2014 or 2013, in aggregate, Jackson would have had to disburse $10.3 million and $164.5 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.

Fixed Maturity and Trading Securities
The fair values for fixed maturity and trading securities 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 fixed maturities, 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 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, 2014 and 2013, 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.

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 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.

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 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 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.

Limited Partnerships
Fair value for limited partnership interests, which are included in other invested assets, is 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, 2014 or 2013.

The Company’s limited partnership investments 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. It is not probable and there is no instance where Jackson contemplated selling a limited partnership interest for an amount different from its NAV equivalent.

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.

Separate Account Assets and Liabilities
Separate account assets are comprised of investments in mutual funds, which are categorized as Level 1 assets. The value of separate account liabilities are set equal to the value 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 index linked annuities, are determined using projected future cash flows discounted at current market interest rates.

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

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 fixed maturities.

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. Values for mortgage loans issued by consolidated VIEs are based on the VIEs’ values, which may include unobservable inputs and are classified as Level 3 and are also included in debt.

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 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 GMWBs and GMABs are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in other 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 derivative a portion of total 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 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 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 under varying conditions, fund allocation, 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 LIBOR swap 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. Other risk margins, particularly for

policyholder behavior, are also incorporated into the model through the use of best estimate assumptions, plus a risk margin. 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.

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.

Internally-priced corporate securities classified in Level 3 include private debt securities for which no price comparatives or spread levels can be observed. For these securities, a discounted cash flow model was used and the primary unobservable input is an internally-developed discount rate. Significant increases (decreases) in the discount rate would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.

Commercial mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities classified in Level 3 are fair valued using a discounted cash flow model. Unobservable inputs include an internally developed discount rate. Significant increases (decreases) in the discount rate would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.

As of December 31, 2014, corporate securities of $281 thousand, residential mortgage-backed securities of $11 thousand, and trading securities of $249 thousand are fair valued using techniques incorporating unobservable inputs and are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. As of December 31, 2013, residential mortgage-backed securities of $14 thousand, commercial mortgage-backed securities of $458 thousand, and trading securities of $249 thousand 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 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 2014 and 2013 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.

As a result of the Company being able to obtain pricing from an independent pricing service utilizing significant observable inputs, securities with a fair value of $2.5 million and $34.4 million were transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 during 2014 and 2013, respectively. During 2014 and 2013, the Company transferred securities with a fair value of $9.7 million and $31.7 million, respectively, from Level 2 to Level 3 as a result of the use of significant unobservable inputs as the Company was not able to obtain pricing from an independent, third-party price service. There were no transfers between Level 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy in 2014 or 2013.

Fair Value Option
As described in Note 2, in connection with the acquisition of REALIC, 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 yearly renewable term, coinsurance, or modified coinsurance basis. The Company regularly monitors the financial strength rating of 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.

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.

As a pre-closing condition to the acquisition, and after receipt of all required regulatory approvals, REALIC entered into three retro treaties with SRZ. Pursuant to these retro treaties, REALIC ceded to SRZ on a 100% coinsurance basis, subject to pre-existing reinsurance with other parties, certain blocks of business written or assumed by REALIC. These blocks of business include the disability income and accident and health business written or assumed by REALIC, a mix of life and annuity insurance business written or assumed by REALIC, and the corporate owned life insurance business assumed by REALIC. The effective date of the three retrocession agreements was July 1, 2012.

Pursuant to the retro treaties, the Company holds certain assets, primarily policy loans and fixed maturities, as collateral. This collateral is reported as a liability as funds held under reinsurance treaties on the consolidated balance sheets. At both December 31, 2014 and 2013, this funds held liability was $3.4 billion.

Prior to the Company’s acquisition of REALIC, reserve requirements for certain term policies with a ceding insurer were in dispute between the ceding insurer and Swiss Re. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, Jackson was obligated to continue the negotiations. In October 2013, all parties agreed on a resolution, which resulted in the ceding insurer recapturing a portion of the business that was ceded to the Company, resulting in additional income of $10.9 million. There were no similar transactions in 2014.

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.

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 the REALIC acquired business, which is further discussed below. The liability for fixed index annuities is based on two components, 1) the imputed value of the underlying guaranteed host contract, and 2) the fair value of the embedded option component of the contract. 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 the REALIC acquired business. At December 31, 2014, the Company had interest sensitive life business with minimum guaranteed interest rates ranging from 2.5% to 6.0%, with a 4.65% average guaranteed rate and fixed interest rate annuities with minimum guaranteed rates ranging from 1.0% to 5.5% and a 2.47% average guaranteed rate.

Upon acquisition of REALIC, 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 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.

of funding agreements. The carrying values at December 31, 2014 and 2013 totaled $1.3 billion and $0.6 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 net other 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 December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company held $108.1 million and $115.1 million, respectively, of FHLBI capital stock, supporting $2.1 billion and $2.0 billion in funding agreements, short-term and long-term borrowing capacity in 2014 and 2013, 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), at specified dates during the accumulation period (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.

Paid guaranteed benefits
    (59.3 )     (68.5 )
Balance at December 31
  $ 786.7     $ 579.1  
 
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 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, 2014 and 2013 (except where otherwise noted):
1)  
Use of a series of deterministic 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 61% to 100% of the Annuity 2000 table.
4)  
Lapse rates varying by contract type, duration and degree the benefit is in-the-money and ranging from 0.5% to 40.0%, with an average of 4.0% during the surrender charge period and 9.0% thereafter in 2014 and 2013.
5)  
Discount rates: 7.4% on 2014 and 2013 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 $1,744.4 million at December 31, 2014, and was reported in reserves for future policy benefits and claims payable. The fair valued GMWB had an asset value of $938.7 million at December 31, 2013 and was reported in other assets.

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 similar to the GMDB liability with the sole exception that the reserve calculation uses a series of stochastic investment performance scenarios. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, these GMWB reserves totaled $53.0 million and $9.7 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 of $0.2 million and $0.5 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, 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 Company regularly evaluates estimates used and adjusts the liability balance through the 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 assumptions used for calculating the direct GMIB liability at December 31, 2014 and 2013 are consistent with those used for calculating the GMDB liability. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, GMIB reserves before reinsurance totaled $29.4 million and $20.7 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. 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. The total liability for this block is the surrender value, plus the annuitization reserve.

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

Surplus notes
On March 15, 1997, the Company 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.

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. Interest is payable semi-annually on March 15th and September 15th of each year. Interest expense on the notes was $20.4 million in 2014, 2013, and 2012.

Mortgage loans
At December 31, 2014 and 2013, certain consolidated real estate VIEs had outstanding mortgage loans with a weighted average interest rate of 4.4%, with maturities through 2016. Interest expense totaled $1.3 million, $1.3 million, and $1.4 million in 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively.

Federal Home Loan Bank Loan
In 2014, the Company received a loan from the FHLBI under its community investment program, which is due January 31, 2034. The loan accrues interest at 0.14% and the outstanding balance was $50.0 million at December 31, 2014. During 2014, interest expense totaled $71 thousand. At December 31, 2014, the loan was collateralized by mortgage-related securities and commercial mortgage loans with a carrying value of $67.4 million.

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 $200.0 million were outstanding at December 31, 2014 and 2013 and were recorded in other liabilities. The Company paid interest of $23 thousand, $0.1 million and $0.3 million on such advances in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. At December 31, 2014, advances were collateralized by mortgage-related securities and commercial mortgage loans with a value of $270.7 million.

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, 2014, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets, will be realized. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not have a valuation allowance.

At December 31, 2014, the Company had a federal tax ordinary loss carryforward of $246.5 million which begins to expire in 2026, that was attributable to the Company’s acquisition of REALIC. 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 NOLs 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.

In 2007, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) issued Revenue Ruling 2007-54 that would have changed accepted industry and IRS interpretations of the statutes governing the computation of the Dividends Received Deduction (“DRD”) on separate account assets held in connection with variable annuity and life contracts, but that ruling was suspended by Revenue Ruling 2007-61. Revenue Ruling 2007-61 also announced the Treasury Department’s and the IRS’s intention to issue regulations with respect to certain computational aspects of the DRD on separate account assets held in connection with variable contracts. In February 2014, the IRS issued Revenue Ruling 2014-7, which merely republishes the noncontroversial first holding of Revenue 2007-54 regarding the amount of life insurance reserves taken into account for tax purposes for a variable annuity when some or all of the reserves are part of the Company’s separate account reserves. The new revenue ruling modifies and supersedes Revenue Ruling 2007-54, which effectively revokes the controversial second holding of Revenue Ruling 2007-54 that had a negative impact on DRD computations. The new ruling also states that Revenue Ruling 2007-61 is obsolete. This administrative action does not foreclose future regulations on the computation of the Company’s share of the DRD. However, it is likely that any regulations that the IRS proposes for issuance in this area will be subject to public notice and comment, at which time insurance companies and other interested parties will have the opportunity to raise legal and practical questions about the content, scope and application of such regulations. Although regulations that represent a substantial change in an interpretation of the law are generally given a prospective effective date, there is no assurance that the change will not be retrospectively applied. As a result, depending on the ultimate timing and substance of any such regulations, which are unknown at this time, such future regulations could result in the elimination of some or all of the separate account DRD tax benefit that the Company receives. In January 2010, Jackson received a formal Notice of Assessment from the IRS disallowing the separate account DRD for 2003, 2005 and 2006. Jackson did not agree with the assessment and filed a protest with the Appellate Division of the IRS. In February 2013, the IRS fully conceded the separate account DRD issue, for the years under examination, in favor of the Company after obtaining approval from the Joint Committee on Taxation.

In February 2012, Brooke Life received a Notice of Proposed Adjustment from the IRS, regarding an assessment related to its tax treatment of interest expense on intercompany debt in 2007 and 2008. Due to the intercompany tax sharing agreement, the effect of an adjustment, if any, would impact Jackson’s total stockholder’s equity. The total aggregate exposure to the Company’s stockholder’s equity is approximately $160.4 million. Brooke Life did not agree with the assessment, believed its current position was sustainable and filed a protest with the Appellate Division of the IRS. In March 2014, the IRS fully conceded the debt/equity issue for years under examination in favor of the Company.

The Company has considered both permanent and temporary positions in determining the unrecognized tax benefit rollforward. The total amount of unrecognized benefits represent tax positions for which there is uncertainty about the timing of certain deductions. The timing of such deductions would not affect the annual effective tax rate, excluding the impact of interest and penalties.

The Company has not recorded any amounts for penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits during 2014, 2013, or 2012.

Based on information available as of December 31, 2014, 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.

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, 2014 and 2013, Jackson recorded accruals totaling $8.5 million and $18.4 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 $5.4 million and $21.7 million at the end of 2014 and 2013, respectively. Related premium tax offsets were $3.0 million and $9.1 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, 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.
 
In the first quarter of 2014, Jackson commenced a review of its wholly owned subsidiaries (Curian Capital, LLC and Curian Clearing, LLC). During its review, Jackson discovered that Curian Capital’s receipt of certain fees may have been inconsistent with applicable regulations. Jackson promptly reported these issues to regulatory authorities and retained independent outside legal counsel to conduct a thorough investigation. As of December 31, 2014, Curian Capital has recorded expenses of $61.5 million related to actual expenses incurred/customer payments and a provision for currently estimable outstanding exposures related to these issues. The reserve represents Jackson’s best estimate of the outstanding exposure as of December 31, 2014. Continuing work and regulatory discussions may result in future expenses. These expenses are not estimable at this time. Based on current information, however, management believes that any additional exposure is unlikely to be material to Jackson.

At December 31, 2014, the Company had unfunded commitments related to its investments in limited partnerships and limited liability companies totaling $516.5 million. At December 31, 2014, unfunded commitments related to fixed-rate commercial mortgage loans and other fixed maturities totaled $114.2 million.

The Company has received regulatory inquiries on an industry-wide matter relating to claims settlement practices and compliance with unclaimed property laws. Concurrently, some regulators and state legislatures have required life insurance companies to take additional steps to identify unreported deceased policy and contract holders. Additionally, certain states are contracting with independent firms to perform specific unclaimed property audits or targeted market conduct examinations covering claims settlement practices and procedures for escheating unclaimed property. Any regulatory audits, related examination activity and internal reviews may result in additional payments to beneficiaries, escheatment of funds deemed abandoned under state laws, administrative penalties and changes in the Company’s procedures for the identification of unreported claims and handling of escheatable property.

Jackson continually reviews active and recently terminated policies compared to vendors’ databases of known deaths. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, Jackson accrued $20.0 million and $21.1 million, respectively, for estimated remaining exposure relating to these inquiries.

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-year terms and expire in 2019 and 2020.

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, 2014, Jackson recorded a liability of $8.8 million for future lease payments. Lease expense was $29.8 million, $30.7 million, and $28.1 million in 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively.

Share-Based Compensation
 
Certain officers participate in various share award plans relating to Prudential shares and/or American Depositary Receipts (“ADR’s”) that are tradable on the New York Stock Exchange and are described below.

The Group Performance Share Plan (“GPSP”) is a Prudential incentive plan in which all executive directors of Prudential and other senior executives can participate. Awards are granted in the form of a nil cost option with a vesting period of three years. The performance measure for the awards is that Prudential’s Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) outperforms an index comprised of peer companies over a three-year period. Vesting of the awards between each performance period is on a straight line sliding scale basis ranging from 0% (less than the peer index TSR return) to 100% (more than 120% of the peer index TSR return). Participants are entitled to the value of reinvested dividends that would have accrued on the shares that vest.

The Business Unit Performance Plan (“BUPP”) is a Prudential incentive plan created to provide a common framework under which awards would be made to Chief Executive Officers (“CEO”) of Prudential’s business units. Awards under this nil cost plan for Jackson’s CEO are based on compound annual growth in Jackson Shareholder Capital Value on a European Embedded Value (“EEV”) basis with performance measured over three years. Awards granted in 2009 and later are settled in ADR’s after vesting. Participants are entitled to receive the value of reinvested dividends over the performance period for those shares/ADR’s that vest. The compound annual growth parameters for the awards are based on factors relevant to the U.S. business and vesting between each performance point is on a straight line sliding scale basis ranging from 0% (less than 8% growth) to 100% (more than 12% growth).

In 2011, the Company granted one-off type retention awards to certain key senior executives within Jackson. These awards were subject to the prior approval of the Jackson Remuneration Committee and are nil cost options with a contingent right to receive Prudential ADR’s. 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 all of the above plans as equity settled plans and, therefore, reflects the net reserve related to the compensation expense and the value of the shares distributed under this plan within the statement of equity. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had $14.1 million and $18.4 million, respectively, reserved for future payments under these plans.

The Company also has a performance-related share award plan which, subject to the prior approval of the Jackson Remuneration Committee, may grant share awards to eligible employees in the form of a contingent right to receive Prudential ADR’s, or a conditional allocation of Prudential ADR’s. These share awards are based on the compound annual EEV imputed growth in shareholder value of the U.S. business, have vesting periods of four years and are at nil cost to the employee. Share awards vest between 0% (less than 8% growth) and 150% (more than 17.5% growth) of the grant amounts dependent on the compound annual growth rate attained over the performance period. Award holders do not have any right to dividends or voting rights attached to the ADR’s granted during the performance period. In 2013, this plan was replaced by the Prudential Long-Term Incentive Plan (“PLTIP”) as further described below.

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 ADR’s, or a conditional allocation of Prudential ADR’s, subject to the prior approval of the Jackson Remuneration Committee. These share awards vest based on the achievement of planned 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 ADR’s 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, 2014 and 2013, the Company had $54.2 million and $31.3 million, respectively, accrued for future payments under these plans.

The Company either acquires shares/ADR’s or reimburses Prudential for the costs of any shares/ADR’s that were distributed to participants in the above plans, or may be distributed in the future. The shares/ADR’s 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/ADR’s held within the consolidated statement of equity as shares held in trust. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had $27.1 million and $22.8 million of shares/ADR’s held at cost in the trust, respectively.

The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense associated with the equity settled plans based on the grant-date award fair value as determined using either the Black-Scholes model or the Monte Carlo model ratably over the requisite service period of each individual grant, which generally equals the vesting period. For the liability settled share award plans, compensation expense is recognized based on the change in fair value of the award at the end of each reporting period due to the plans’ cash settlement alternatives.

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, 2014 was $64.4 million with a weighted average remaining period of 2.26 years.

During 2014, there were no new grants under the GPSP, BUPP, retention or performance plans.

The weighted average share/ADR fair values of share-based awards granted by plan during 2014, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

  $  —     $     $ 24.24  
Prudential LTIP plan
  $ 42.89     $ 32.55        
 
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.

The following assumptions were used in 2012 in determining the GPSP fair value:
 
   
2012
 
Dividend yield
    3.63%
Expected volatility
    32.80%
Risk-free interest rate
    0.30%
Expected life
 
3 years
 
Weighted average share price
  $ 12.11  
 
The expected volatility is measured as the standard deviation of expected share price returns based on statistical analysis of daily share prices over a period up to the grant date equal to the expected life of the options. Risk-free interest rates are United Kingdom gilt rates with projections for three-year terms to match corresponding vesting periods. Dividend yield is determined as the average yield over the year of the grant and expected dividends are not incorporated into the measurement of fair value. For the GPSP, volatility and correlation between Prudential and an index constructed from a simple average of the Total Shareholder Return growth of ten companies is required. Changes to the subjective input assumptions could materially affect the fair value estimate. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no outstanding non-vested Prudential shares granted.

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, 2014, the adjusted earned surplus of the Company was $934.6 million. 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 2015, is estimated to be $857.9 million, subject to the availability of adjusted earned surplus as of the dividend date.

The Company received capital contributions from its parent of $14.1 million, $35.1 million, and $36.0 million in 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively, from Brooke Life’s forgiveness of intercompany tax liabilities. Dividend payments from the Company to its parent were $697.0 million, $507.0 million, and $400.0 million in 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively.

Statutory capital and surplus of the Company, as reported in its Annual Statement, was $4.5 billion and $4.4 billion at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Statutory net income of the Company, as reported in its Annual Statement, was $878.3 million, $741.3 million, and $847.2 million in 2014, 2013, and 2012, 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, 2015. At December 31, 2014 and 2013,

the effect of the permitted practice (decreased) increased statutory surplus by $(555.1) million and $1.2 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. In relation to the acquisition of REALIC and pursuant to Michigan Insurance Law, the Company reported $376.6 million and $425.8 million of statutory basis VOBA at December 31, 2014 and 2013, 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, calculated in a manner prescribed by the NAIC (“TAC”) to its authorized control level RBC, calculated in a manner prescribed by the NAIC (“ACL RBC”). 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, 2014, 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 2014 and 2013, there were no significant exceptions with any ratios.

The Company has a defined contribution retirement plan covering substantially all employees and certain affiliates.

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 $25.9 million, $25.4 million, and $20.9 million in 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively.

Item 26. Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with the Depositor or Registrant.

The Registrant is a separate account of Jackson National Life Insurance Company ("Depositor"), a stock life insurance company organized under the laws of the state of Michigan.  The Depositor is a wholly owned subsidiary of Brooke Life Insurance Company and is ultimately a wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential plc (London, England), a publicly traded life insurance company in the United Kingdom.

The organizational chart for Prudential plc indicates those persons who are controlled by or under common control with the Depositor. No person is controlled by the Registrant.

The organizational chart for Prudential plc is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 26 of Post-Effective Amendment No. 19, filed on April 20, 2015 (File Nos. 333-183048 and 811-08664).

Item 27. Number of Contract Owners as of February 18, 2015

Elite Access Contracts:

Qualified – 53,002
Non-Qualified – 42,677

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.
