Example
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 Investment Option operating expenses.
The Example assumes that you invest $100,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and assumes the most expensive combination of Investment Option operating expenses and optional benefits available for an additional charge. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover
The Investment
Option pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its
portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are
not reflected in annual Contract expenses or in the example, affect the Investment Option's performance.
During the most recent fiscal year, the Investment Option's portfolio turnover rate was
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.
