RISKS

LOCATION IN PROSPECTUS

Risk of Loss

You can lose money by investing in the Contract, including loss of principal.

Principal Risks of Investing in the Contract

Not a Short-Term Investment

This Contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash.

The benefits of tax deferral, long-term income, and living benefits are generally more beneficial to investors with a long-term investment horizon.

Principal Risks of Investing in the Contract

Risks Associated with Investment Options

An investment in this Contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the Investment Options available under the Contract (e.g. Funds).

Each Investment Option will have its own unique risks.

You should review, working with your financial professional, the Investment Options before making an investment decision.

Principal Risks of Investing in the Contract

Appendix: Funds Available Under the Contract

Insurance Company Risks

Investment in the Contract is subject to the risks related to us, and any obligations, guarantees, or benefits are subject to our claims-paying ability. If we experience financial distress, we may not be able to meet our obligations to you. More information about us, including our financial strength ratings, is available upon request by calling (800) 722-4448 or visiting our website at www.PacificLife.com.

Principal Risks of Investing in the Contract

Investment Restrictions [Text Block] Investments

Transfers between Variable Investment Options are limited to 25 each calendar year. Transfers to or from a Variable Investment Option cannot be made before the seventh calendar day following the last transfer to or from the same Variable Investment Option. Additional Fund transfer restrictions apply, such as transfer restrictions imposed by the Funds.

Certain Funds may stop accepting additional investments into the Fund or a Fund may liquidate. In addition, if a Fund determines that excessive trading has occurred, they may limit your ability to continue to invest in their Fund for a certain period of time.

We reserve the right to remove, close to new investment, or substitute Funds as Investment Options.

Transfers and Market-Timing Restrictions

Appendix: Funds Available Under the Contract
Optional Benefit Restrictions [Text Block] Optional Benefits

Certain optional living benefits limit or restrict the Investment Options that you may select under the Contract. We may change these limits or restrictions in the future.

Withdrawals that exceed withdrawal limits specified by an optional living benefit may affect the availability of the benefit, by reducing the benefit by an amount greater than the value withdrawn, and/or could terminate the benefit.

We may stop offering an optional living benefit or optional death benefit at any time, including for current Contract Owners who have not yet purchased the rider.

We reserve the right to reject or restrict, at our discretion, any additional Purchase Payments for a rider and, as a result, we will not accept Purchase Payments for your Contract. You will not be able to increase protected amounts or your Contract Value through additional Purchase Payments.

Certain Owners of Qualified Contracts may borrow against their Contracts. Otherwise loans from us are not permitted. You may have only one loan outstanding at any time. The minimum loan amount is $1,000, subject to certain state limitations. The maximum loan amount may not exceed the lesser of 50% of the amount available for withdrawal under this Contract or $50,000 less your highest outstanding Contract Debt during the 12-month period immediately preceding the effective date of your loan. The interest charged on your Contract Debt will be a 5% fixed annual rate and the amount held in the Loan Account to secure your loan will earn a 3% annual return. Therefore, the net amount of interest you will pay on your loan will be 2% annually. Taking a loan may have tax consequences. Taking a loan while an optional living benefit Rider is in effect will terminate your Rider.

Tax Implications [Text Block] Tax Implications

Consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of an investment in and payments received under the Contract.

It is important to know that IRAs and qualified plans are already tax-deferred which means the tax deferral feature of a variable annuity does not provide a benefit in addition to that already offered by an IRA or qualified plan. An annuity contract should only be used to fund an IRA or qualified plan to benefit from the annuity’s features other than tax deferral.

Withdrawals will be subject to ordinary income tax and may be subject to a tax penalty if you take a withdrawal before age 59½.

Investment Professional Compensation [Text Block] Investment Professional Compensation

Some financial professionals may receive compensation for selling this Contract to you in the form of advisory fees, additional payments, non-cash compensation, and/or reimbursement of expenses. These financial professionals may have a financial incentive to offer or recommend this Contract over another investment.

Distribution Arrangements

Exchanges [Text Block] Exchanges

Some financial professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a new contract in place of the one you already own.

You should only exchange your contract if you determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both contracts, that it is preferable for you to purchase the new contract rather than continue to own the existing contract.

Examples

This Example 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 transaction expenses, annual Contract expenses, and annual Fund expenses.

The Example assumes that you invest $100,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated. The Example also assume that your investment has a 5% return each year and assumes the most expensive combination of annual Fund expenses and optional benefits available for an additional charge. The Example does not account for withdrawals from your Contract Value or other assets to pay advisory fees. If these were included, your costs would be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Item 5. Principal Risks [Table Text Block]

PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE CONTRACT

Risk of Loss

You can lose money by investing in this Contract, including loss of principal. The Contract is not a deposit or obligation of, or guaranteed or endorsed by any bank. It is not federally insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Federal Reserve Board, or any other government agency.

Unsuitable as Short-Term Savings Vehicle

An annuity contract may be appropriate if you are looking for retirement income or you want to meet other long-term financial objectives. Discuss with your financial professional whether a variable annuity, a living benefit rider, an optional death benefit rider and which underlying Investment Options are appropriate for you, taking into consideration your age, income, net worth, tax status, insurance needs, financial objectives, investment goals, liquidity needs, time horizon, risk tolerance and other relevant information. Together you can decide if a variable annuity is right for you. We are a variable annuity provider. We are not a fiduciary and therefore do not give advice or make recommendations regarding insurance or investment products.

Withdrawal Risks

This Contract may not be the right one for you if you need to withdraw money for short-term needs, because tax penalties for early withdrawal may apply. Additionally, since the benefits associated with the guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit riders are not available until the Designated Life is 59½ years of age or older, early withdrawals may reduce or terminate the benefits associated with the riders.

Risks Associated with Variable Investment Options

You should consider the Contract’s investment and income benefits, as well as its costs. Your investment is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the Investment Options you have chosen. Each Investment Option will have its own unique risks. The value of each Investment Option will fluctuate with the value of the investments it holds, and returns are not guaranteed. You can lose money by investing in the Contract, including loss of principal. You bear the risk of any Investment Options you choose. You should read each Fund prospectus carefully before investing. You can obtain a Fund prospectus by contacting your financial professional or by visiting PacificLife.com/Prospectuses. No assurance can be given that a Fund will achieve its investment objectives.

If you choose an optional living benefit rider, you must follow the investment allocation requirements for the rider during the entire time that you own the rider. Owning an optional living benefit rider may limit the Investment Options available to you and failure to follow the investment allocation requirements may result in a failure to receive the benefits under the rider. The allowable Investment Options seek to minimize risk, may reduce investment returns, and may reduce the likelihood that we will be required to make payments under the optional benefit Riders.

Insurance Company Risks

Investment in the Contract is subject to the risks related to us, and any obligations , guarantees, or benefits are backed by our claims paying ability and financial strength. You must look to our strength with regard to such guarantees. Your financial professional’s firm is not responsible for any Contract guarantees.

Tax Consequences

Non-Qualified and Qualified Contracts are available. You buy a Qualified Contract under a qualified retirement or pension plan, or some form of an individual retirement annuity or account (IRA). It is important to know that IRAs and qualified plans are already tax-deferred which means the tax deferral feature of a variable annuity does not provide a benefit in addition to that already offered by an IRA or qualified plan. An annuity contract should only be used to fund an IRA or qualified plan to benefit from the annuity’s features other than tax deferral. Withdrawals taken from a variable annuity prior to age 59½ may be subject to a tax penalty of 10% of the taxable portion, although there are exceptions to the tax penalty that may apply.

Please be aware that the sale or liquidation of any stock, bond, IRA, certificate of deposit, mutual fund, annuity or other asset to fund the purchase of this Contract may have tax consequences, early withdrawal penalties or other costs or penalties as a result of the sale or liquidation. You may want to consult independent legal or financial advice before selling or liquidating any assets prior to the purchase of this Contract.

Cybersecurity and Business Continuity Risks

Our business is highly dependent upon the effective operation of our computer systems and those of our business partners. As a result, our business is potentially susceptible to operational and information security risks associated with the technologies, processes and practices designed to protect networks, systems, computers, programs and data from attack, damage or unauthorized access. These risks include, among other things, the theft, loss, misuse, corruption and destruction of data maintained online or digitally, denial of service on websites and other operational disruption, and unauthorized release of confidential customer information. Cyber-attacks affecting us, any third-party administrator, the underlying Funds, intermediaries, and other affiliated or third-party service providers may adversely affect us and your Contract Value. For instance, cyber-attacks may interfere with contract transaction processing, including the processing of orders from our website or with the underlying Funds; impact our ability to calculate Accumulated Unit

Values, Subaccount Unit Values or an underlying Fund to calculate a net asset value; cause the release and possible destruction of confidential customer or business information; impede order processing; subject us and/or our service providers and intermediaries to regulatory fines and financial losses; and/or cause reputational damage. Cybersecurity risks may also impact the issuers of securities in which the underlying Funds invest, which may cause the Funds underlying your Contract to lose value. The constant change in technologies and increased sophistication and activities of hackers and others, continue to pose new and significant cybersecurity threats. While measures have been developed that are designed to reduce cybersecurity risks, there can be no guarantee or assurance that we, the underlying Funds, or our service providers will not suffer losses affecting your Contract due to cyber-attacks or information security breaches in the future.

We are also exposed to risks related to natural and man-made disasters or other events, including (but not limited to) earthquakes, fires, floods, storms, epidemics and pandemics (such as COVID-19), terrorist acts, civil unrest, malicious acts and/or other events that could adversely affect our ability to conduct business. The risks from such events are common to all insurers. To mitigate such risks, we have business continuity plans in place that include remote workforces, remote system and telecommunication accessibility, and other plans to ensure availability of critical resources and business continuity during an event. Such events can also have an adverse impact on financial markets, U.S. and global economies, service providers, and Fund performance for the funds available through your Contract. There can be no assurance that we, the Funds, or our service providers will avoid such adverse impacts due to such events and some events may be beyond control and cannot be fully mitigated or foreseen.

Advisory Fees

Authorized advisory fees to pay for advisory services from your financial professional are withdrawn from your Contract Value. Such withdrawals will reduce the death benefit under the Contract, may impact the benefits offered by an optional rider, and may be subject to federal and state income taxes and a 10% federal tax penalty.

Advisory Fees

Authorized advisory fees to pay for advisory services from your financial professional are withdrawn from your Contract Value. Such withdrawals will reduce the death benefit under the Contract, may impact the benefits offered by an optional rider, and may be subject to federal and state income taxes and a 10% federal tax penalty.

Cybersecurity and Business Continuity Risks

Our business is highly dependent upon the effective operation of our computer systems and those of our business partners. As a result, our business is potentially susceptible to operational and information security risks associated with the technologies, processes and practices designed to protect networks, systems, computers, programs and data from attack, damage or unauthorized access. These risks include, among other things, the theft, loss, misuse, corruption and destruction of data maintained online or digitally, denial of service on websites and other operational disruption, and unauthorized release of confidential customer information. Cyber-attacks affecting us, any third-party administrator, the underlying Funds, intermediaries, and other affiliated or third-party service providers may adversely affect us and your Contract Value. For instance, cyber-attacks may interfere with contract transaction processing, including the processing of orders from our website or with the underlying Funds; impact our ability to calculate Accumulated Unit

Values, Subaccount Unit Values or an underlying Fund to calculate a net asset value; cause the release and possible destruction of confidential customer or business information; impede order processing; subject us and/or our service providers and intermediaries to regulatory fines and financial losses; and/or cause reputational damage. Cybersecurity risks may also impact the issuers of securities in which the underlying Funds invest, which may cause the Funds underlying your Contract to lose value. The constant change in technologies and increased sophistication and activities of hackers and others, continue to pose new and significant cybersecurity threats. While measures have been developed that are designed to reduce cybersecurity risks, there can be no guarantee or assurance that we, the underlying Funds, or our service providers will not suffer losses affecting your Contract due to cyber-attacks or information security breaches in the future.

We are also exposed to risks related to natural and man-made disasters or other events, including (but not limited to) earthquakes, fires, floods, storms, epidemics and pandemics (such as COVID-19), terrorist acts, civil unrest, malicious acts and/or other events that could adversely affect our ability to conduct business. The risks from such events are common to all insurers. To mitigate such risks, we have business continuity plans in place that include remote workforces, remote system and telecommunication accessibility, and other plans to ensure availability of critical resources and business continuity during an event. Such events can also have an adverse impact on financial markets, U.S. and global economies, service providers, and Fund performance for the funds available through your Contract. There can be no assurance that we, the Funds, or our service providers will avoid such adverse impacts due to such events and some events may be beyond control and cannot be fully mitigated or foreseen.

Tax Consequences [Member]  
Prospectus:  
Principal Risk [Text Block]

Tax Consequences

Non-Qualified and Qualified Contracts are available. You buy a Qualified Contract under a qualified retirement or pension plan, or some form of an individual retirement annuity or account (IRA). It is important to know that IRAs and qualified plans are already tax-deferred which means the tax deferral feature of a variable annuity does not provide a benefit in addition to that already offered by an IRA or qualified plan. An annuity contract should only be used to fund an IRA or qualified plan to benefit from the annuity’s features other than tax deferral. Withdrawals taken from a variable annuity prior to age 59½ may be subject to a tax penalty of 10% of the taxable portion, although there are exceptions to the tax penalty that may apply.

Please be aware that the sale or liquidation of any stock, bond, IRA, certificate of deposit, mutual fund, annuity or other asset to fund the purchase of this Contract may have tax consequences, early withdrawal penalties or other costs or penalties as a result of the sale or liquidation. You may want to consult independent legal or financial advice before selling or liquidating any assets prior to the purchase of this Contract.

Withdrawal Risks [Member]

Withdrawal Risks

This Contract may not be the right one for you if you need to withdraw money for short-term needs, because tax penalties for early withdrawal may apply. Additionally, since the benefits associated with the guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit riders are not available until the Designated Life is 59½ years of age or older, early withdrawals may reduce or terminate the benefits associated with the riders.

Risk [Text Block] Not a Short-Term Investment

This Contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash.

The benefits of tax deferral, long-term income, and living benefits are generally more beneficial to investors with a long-term investment horizon.

Principal Risks of Investing in the Contract
Principal Risk [Text Block]

Unsuitable as Short-Term Savings Vehicle

An annuity contract may be appropriate if you are looking for retirement income or you want to meet other long-term financial objectives. Discuss with your financial professional whether a variable annuity, a living benefit rider, an optional death benefit rider and which underlying Investment Options are appropriate for you, taking into consideration your age, income, net worth, tax status, insurance needs, financial objectives, investment goals, liquidity needs, time horizon, risk tolerance and other relevant information. Together you can decide if a variable annuity is right for you. We are a variable annuity provider. We are not a fiduciary and therefore do not give advice or make recommendations regarding insurance or investment products.

Investment Options Risk [Member]

Risk [Text Block] Risks Associated with Investment Options

An investment in this Contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the Investment Options available under the Contract (e.g. Funds).

Each Investment Option will have its own unique risks.

You should review, working with your financial professional, the Investment Options before making an investment decision.

Principal Risk [Text Block]

Risks Associated with Variable Investment Options

You should consider the Contract’s investment and income benefits, as well as its costs. Your investment is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the Investment Options you have chosen. Each Investment Option will have its own unique risks. The value of each Investment Option will fluctuate with the value of the investments it holds, and returns are not guaranteed. You can lose money by investing in the Contract, including loss of principal. You bear the risk of any Investment Options you choose. You should read each Fund prospectus carefully before investing. You can obtain a Fund prospectus by contacting your financial professional or by visiting PacificLife.com/Prospectuses. No assurance can be given that a Fund will achieve its investment objectives.

If you choose an optional living benefit rider, you must follow the investment allocation requirements for the rider during the entire time that you own the rider. Owning an optional living benefit rider may limit the Investment Options available to you and failure to follow the investment allocation requirements may result in a failure to receive the benefits under the rider. The allowable Investment Options seek to minimize risk, may reduce investment returns, and may reduce the likelihood that we will be required to make payments under the optional benefit Riders.
