FEES AND EXPENSES

Charges for Early Withdrawals | If the contract owner withdraws money from the Contract within 7 years following his or her last purchase payment, he or she will be assessed a surrender charge. Surrender charge (as a percentage of Purchase Payments surrendered/withdrawn)1: 7.00% We may also apply an Interest Adjustment to amounts being withdrawn, surrendered or transferred from a Guaranteed Period account (except for dollar cost averaging, cross-reinvestment, withdrawals)up to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal amount. See Fixed Side of the Contract. For example, if you make an early withdrawal, you could pay a surrender charge of up to $7,000 on a $100,000 investment. 1 The surrender charge percentage is reduced over a 7-year period at the following rates: 7%, 7%, 6%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%. The later the redemption occurs, the lower the surrender charge with respect to that surrender or withdrawal. We may reduce or waive this charge in certain situations. See Charges and Other Deductions - Surrender Charge.
Transaction Charges | The contract owner may also be charged for other transactions. These include front-end loads (sales charges), back-end loads (redemption fees), charges for transferring Contract value between investment options (exchange fees), and miscellaneous fees for services such as wire transfers.

Ongoing Fees and Expenses (annual charges) | In addition to surrender charges and transaction charges, an investment in the Contract is subject to certain ongoing fees and expenses, including fees and expenses covering the cost of insurance under the Contract and the cost of optional benefits available under the Contract, and that such fees and expenses are set based on characteristics of the insured (e.g., age, sex, and rating classification).

Depositor Risks | Fire, floods, earthquakes, mud slides, volcanoes, tsunamis, lightning, invasion, civil unrest, pandemic, meteor strikes, zombie apocalypse, etc. Our financial strength rating was AAAAA++ as of the end of 2019. This places our company in the top 1 percent of all depositors.

## Item 5. Risk Factors

This section discusses risks associated with some features of the contract. See “Definition of key terms” earlier in this Prospectus and “Contract features and benefits” later in this Prospectus for more detailed explanations of terms associated with the Structured Investment Option.

There is a risk of a substantial loss of your principal and previously credited interest because you agree to absorb all losses from the portion of any negative Index Performance Rate that exceeds the Segment Buffer on the Segment Maturity Date or Annual Lock Anniversary. The risk of loss of principal and previously credited interest can become greater in the case of a withdrawal (including a systematic withdrawal, a required minimum distribution, or a withdrawal to pay advisory fees under a Series contract), annuitization, death, surrender, contract cancellation, or transfer prior to a Segment Maturity Date due to charges and adjustments imposed on those distributions, and this may occur even if index performance has been positive.

Insurance Company Risk

No company other than this has any legal responsibility to pay amounts that we owe under the contract including amounts allocated to the structured investment option. The general obligations and any guaranteed benefits under the contract are supported by our general account and are subject to our claims paying ability. You should look solely to our financial strength for our claims-paying ability.

Not a short-term investment

The contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash because the contract is designed to provide for the accumulation of retirement savings and income on a long-term basis. As such, you should not use the contract as a short-term investment or savings vehicle and you should consider whether investing in the contract is consistent with the purpose for which the investment is being considered.
