Variable Universal Life Insurance Policy with Fixed Indexed Account Options

This prospectus describes a Variable Universal Life Second Death Insurance Policy with Fixed Indexed Account Options (the “Policy”) issued by Minnesota Life Insurance Company (“Minnesota Life,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). It provides life insurance protection payable at the death of the second insured (the “second death”). The Policy is a long-term investment designed to provide life insurance benefits for the insureds. This prospectus provides basic information that you should know before purchasing the Policy. You should consider the Policy in conjunction with other insurance you own. Replacing your existing life insurance with this Policy may not be to your advantage. In addition, it may not be to your advantage to finance the purchase or maintenance of this Policy through a loan or through withdrawals from another policy. Please consult your insurance agent or financial adviser.

You can allocate your Policy’s Accumulation Value to one or more Sub-Accounts of the Minnesota Life Individual Variable Universal Life Account (the “Variable Account”), each of which invests exclusively in one of the Portfolios listed in Appendix A. The value of your investment in the Variable Account will vary with the investment experience of the Sub-Accounts you select. You can also allocate your Policy’s Accumulation Value to one of the Minnesota Life General Account options.

Notice of Your Right to Examine This Policy.

It is important to us that you are satisfied with this Policy after it is issued. If you are not satisfied with it, you may return the Policy to us or our agent within 30 days after you receive it. If you return the Policy, you will receive a full refund of any premiums within 7 days of the date we receive your notice of cancellation.

Please note that the Policy and the Portfolios:

•

are not guaranteed to achieve their goals;

•

are not federally insured;

•

are not endorsed by any bank or government agency; and

•

are subject to risks, including loss of the amount invested.

A prospectus for each of the Portfolios available through the Variable Account must accompany this prospectus. Please read these documents carefully before investing and save them for future reference.

The SEC has not approved the Policy or determined that this prospectus is accurate or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. Additional information about certain investment products, including variable life insurance, has been prepared by the staff at the SEC and is available at www.Investor.gov.

The Policy is not available in all states. This prospectus does not offer the Policies in any jurisdiction where they cannot be lawfully sold. You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus and sales materials we have approved or that we have referred you to. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with information that is different.

Key Information

Important Information You Should Consider About the Policy

	Fees and Expenses	Location in Prospectus
Charges for Early Withdrawals	If you surrender your Policy during the first ten Policy Years, we will assess a Surrender Charge, which may significantly reduce the Surrender Value. Because Policy Issue Charges can be higher for Policies with greater Face Amounts, the Surrender Charge, both as a dollar amount and as a percentage of the Policy’s Face Amount, may increase for Policies with higher Face Amounts.	Fee Tables
	For example, if you surrender your Policy within the first 10 Policy Years, you could pay a Surrender Charge of up to $4,487.40 based on a $100,000 Face Amount, representing a charge of 4.49% of the Policy’s Face Amount.
	If you have elected the Early Values Agreement, the Surrender Value will not be reduced by the Surrender Charge.
	No Index Credit will be applied at surrender of the Policy prior to the end of a Segment Term.
Transaction Charges	In addition to Surrender Charges, we may assess certain transaction charges.	Policy Charges (Transaction Charges)
	•If you elect to make a Policy change, we may assess a Policy Change Transaction Charge, which is currently $95 per transaction;
	•if you elect to take a partial surrender, we may assess a Partial Surrender Transaction Charge, which is 2% of the surrendered amount (not to exceed $25); or
	•if you transfer Accumulation Value among the Sub-Accounts, the Guaranteed Interest Account and the Fixed Indexed Accounts, we may assess a Transfer Transaction Charge, which will not exceed $200 (we currently do not assess this charge).
	•if you request more than one Illustrative Report in one year, we may assess an Illustrative Report Charge, which will not exceed $250 per Illustrative Report (we currently do not assess this charge).
	•if you purchase and elect to exercise the Overloan Protection Agreement, we may assess a charge of up to 10% of the Policy’s Accumulation Value (we currently assess a charge equal to 5% of the Policy’s Accumulation Value).
Ongoing Fees and Expenses (annual charges)	In addition to Surrender Charges and transaction charges, the Policy is subject to certain ongoing charges and expenses, including the Premium Charge, the Monthly Policy Charge, the Policy Issue Charge, the Cost of Insurance Charge, a Mortality and Expense Risk Charge, an Indexed Account Charge, an Index Segment Charge, a Cash Extra Charge. and charges for any Agreements you elect. These charges and fees are based on the characteristics of the insureds, including each insured’s Age, gender, Risk Class and the Face Amount.	Fee Tables
	You should refer to your Policy data pages for rates that are applicable to your Policy.

Page 1

Fees and Expenses			Location in Prospectus
The table below describes the total annual portfolio operating expenses (expenses that are deducted from Portfolio assets include management fees, distribution or service (12b-1) fees, and other expenses) that you will pay while you own the Policy.
The table shows the minimum and maximum expenses (as a percentage of Portfolio assets) charged by any of the Portfolios for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. More details concerning each Portfolio’s fees and expenses are contained in Appendix A.
Annual Fee Portfolio Operating Expenses	Minimum 0.13%	Maximum 1.63%

	Risks	Location in Prospectus
Risk of Loss	You have the risk that you can lose money by investing in the Policy.	Principal Risks of Investing in the Policy
Not a Short-Term Investment	The Policy is not a short-term investment and may not be appropriate for Policy Owners who need ready access to cash. The Policy combines both life insurance protection and the potential for the accumulation of cash values; however, it contains costs, such as cost of insurance, surrender charges, and other expenses that, in the short term, may reduce the amount of Accumulation Value available to the Policy Owner.	Principal Risks of Investing in the Policy
Risks Associated with Investment Options	The Policy Accumulation Value, to the extent invested in a Sub-Account, is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary with the positive or negative investment experience of the corresponding Portfolio. Each investment option, including any of the Variable Account Sub-Accounts, the Guaranteed Interest Account, or the Fixed Indexed Accounts, will each have its own unique risks. The Policy Owner should review these investment options before making an investment in the Policy.	Principal Risks of Investing in the Policy
Insurance Company Risks	Guarantees provided by Minnesota Life as to the benefits promised in the Policy, such as payment of the Death Benefit and the Minnesota Life General Account investment options, are subject to the claims paying ability of Minnesota Life and are subject to the risk that Minnesota Life may default on its obligations under those guarantees. The Guaranteed Interest Account, the Fixed Indexed Accounts and the Fixed Loan Account are part of our General Account. Our General Account consists of all assets owned by us other than those in the Variable Account and any other separate accounts which we may establish. Investors look to the financial strength of Minnesota Life for its insurance guarantees. Information about Minnesota Life, and its financial strength ratings, are available upon request. You may call us at 1-844-208-2412 for additional information or visit our website at www.securian.com/about- us/ratings.	Principal Risks of Investing in the Policy

Page 2

	Risks	Location in Prospectus
Contract Lapse	There is the risk that the Policy may terminate. The Policy will terminate if it is in default unless sufficient premium payments are made or it remains in force under the Overloan Protection Agreement or the No Lapse Guarantee Agreement (if selected). If your Policy terminates, no Death Benefit will be paid upon the second death and all the Agreements added to the Policy will also terminate. Poor investment performance, insufficient premium payments, withdrawals, and loans are some of the factors that could cause your Policy to lapse. As described in the “Termination” and “Reinstatement” sections of this prospectus, Termination will only occur when the Accumulation Value under the Policy, less the sum of any outstanding policy loans and unpaid Policy Loan Interest, is insufficient to cover the monthly charges, and the subsequent Grace Period expires without sufficient payment being made to keep the Policy in force. You may reinstate a terminated Policy, subject to certain conditions, which include, providing evidence of insurability satisfactory to us and payment of premiums or repayment of Policy loans. Policy loans may increase the risk that the Policy will terminate. If a Policy terminates with an outstanding Policy loan, there may be significant adverse tax consequences to the Owner.	Termination and Reinstatement

	Restrictions	Location in Prospectus
Investments	•Accumulation Value in the Fixed Indexed Account Segments are subject to the Policy’s transfer restrictions, which may limit transfers out of the Fixed Indexed Accounts to the end of a Segment Term, or which would lead to no Index Credit being applied.	Policy Limitations
	•We reserve the right to limit transfers to and from the Guaranteed Interest Account to one transfer per Policy Year. We also reserve the right to restrict the dollar amount of any transfer to or from the Guaranteed Interest Account.
	•We reserve the right to require that the amount transferred to or from a Sub-Account, Fixed Indexed Account Segments, or the Guaranteed Interest Account be at least $250.
	•We reserve the right to remove a Sub-Account or substitute another mutual fund or Portfolio for a Sub-Account.
	•When the No Lapse Guarantee Agreement is in effect: (i) any Net Premiums allocated to any variable Sub-Account may be limited to the maximum variable Sub-Account percentage and (ii) no requested transfer or systematic transfer may be allocated to a variable Sub-Account where the percentage of the total accumulation value in the Sub-Account prior to the requested transfer or systematic transfer exceeds the maximum variable Sub-Account percentage.
Optional Benefits	Any Agreements you elect may alter the benefits or charges in your Policy. Agreement availability and benefits may vary by state of issue or selling broker-dealer and their election may have tax consequences. Agreements may have restrictions or limitations, and we may modify or terminate an Agreement, as allowed. If you elect a particular Agreement, it may restrict or enhance the terms of your Policy, or restrict the availability or terms of other Agreements or Policy features.	Other Benefits Available Under the Contract

Page 3

	Taxes	Location in Prospectus
Tax Implications	You should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of an investment in and payments received under the Policy. Full and Partial Surrenders could be subject to ordinary income tax, and, if your Policy is a MEC, partial surrenders and loans could be subject to tax penalties.	Taxes (Tax Treatment of Policy Benefits)

	Conflicts of Interest	Location in Prospectus
Investment Professional Compensation	We pay broker-dealers that sell our Policies a commission that is based upon the premium you pay for the Policy. The broker-dealers, in turn, pay their registered representatives all or a portion of that commission for the sale. We may also pay broker-dealers additional amounts in the form of revenue sharing and marketing allowances for the sale of our Policies. These broker-dealers and their registered representatives may have a financial incentive to offer or recommend the Policy over another investment.	Policy Charges (Compensation Paid for the Sale of Policies)
Exchanges	Some registered representatives may have a financial incentive to offer you a new Policy in place of the one you may already own. You should only exchange your existing Policy if you determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both policies, that it is preferable for you to purchase the new Policy rather than continue your existing policy.	General Description of the Policy (1035 Exchanges or Replacements)

Overview of the Policy

Purpose

This prospectus describes a flexible premium variable universal second death life insurance policy called Variable Universal Life Survivor. Its primary purpose is to provide Policy Owners with death benefit protection. In exchange for your premium payments, upon the second death, we will pay the Beneficiary a death benefit. The Policy may also be appropriate for persons seeking the potential for the accumulation of cash values over a long-term investment horizon in addition to life insurance protection; however, it may be unsuitable as a short-term investment due to the costs of insurance and the expenses charged.

Premiums

The Policy allows for the growth of Accumulation Value, while life insurance coverage remains in force, and permits the flexible payment of premiums. The amount of the Initial Minimum Premium will depend on the Policy’s Initial Face Amount, the Death Benefit option, the insureds’ Ages at issue, genders, Risk Classifications and any additional benefit Agreements chosen. Any premium payment after the Initial Minimum Premium must be at least $50. You may pay premiums at any time. We reserve the right to require evidence of insurability satisfactory to us for any premium payment that would result in an immediate increase in the Net Amount at Risk under the Policy. Unless you have specified otherwise in writing, we will not accept a premium payment to the extent that it would cause your Policy to fail the life insurance qualification test or become a MEC. The See “Policy Premiums” for more information regarding premium payments.

Page 4

Your Net Premiums will become part of the Policy Accumulation Value. The Accumulation Value of the Policy may be invested in the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account. In turn, each Sub-Account invests exclusively in a corresponding Portfolio of a Fund. Thus, your Accumulation Value, to the extent invested in a Sub-Account, will vary with the positive or negative investment experience of the corresponding Portfolio.

If you seek a fixed return on your Accumulation Value, you can allocate Net Premiums and Accumulation Value to the Guaranteed Interest Account, which credits a fixed rate of interest and is part of Minnesota Life’s General Account.

You may also allocate Net Premiums and Accumulation Value to one or more of the Fixed Indexed Accounts, Indexed Account A, Indexed Account B, and Indexed Account G, each of which credits interest based in part upon changes in an underlying Index.

Additional information about the Variable Account Sub-Accounts is provided in Appendix A to this Prospectus, “Portfolio Companies Available Under the Contract.”

If you do not pay a sufficient amount of premiums into the Policy, the Policy may lapse, causing your rights and benefits under the Policy to terminate.

Policy Features

The Policy provides two Death Benefit options: the Level Option and the Increasing Option.

Under the Level Option, the Death Benefit is the Face Amount of the Policy. If the Level Option is in effect, the Death Benefit payable will generally not be affected by either the negative or positive investment performance of the investment options.

Under the Increasing Option, the Death Benefit equals the Face Amount of the Policy plus the Accumulation Value at the time of the second death. If the Increasing Option is in effect, the Death Benefit payable will reflect the investment performance of the investment options in which Accumulation Value has been invested.

You may surrender the Policy at any time or make a partial surrender of the Accumulation Value of the Policy after the first Policy Year. The maximum partial surrender that you may make at any time is equal to the Accumulation Value less any outstanding policy loan and accrued interest, any applicable Surrender Charge and Partial Surrender Transaction Charge and three times the sum of all charges assessed at the most recent monthly anniversary closest to the date we receive your partial surrender request. The minimum partial surrender that you may make is $500. You may also borrow an amount up to your Accumulation Value less any applicable Surrender Charge and three times the sum of all monthly charges assessed at the most recent monthly anniversary closest to the date we receive your Written Request in Good Order as a policy loan. A policy loan may have tax consequences.

We offer seven Agreements that provide supplemental insurance benefits under the Policy. Unless otherwise noted in the footnote following the table, each of the optional agreements will have a periodic or transaction charge for adding or exercising the agreement. Please consult your financial professional for availability of all Agreements in your state.

The table shows the minimum and maximum expenses (as a percentage of Portfolio assets) charged by any of the Portfolios for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. A complete list of Portfolio Companies available under the Policy, including their annual expenses, may be found at the back of this document.

Charge	Minimum	Maximum
Total Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses (expenses that are deducted from Portfolio assets include management fees, distribution or service (12b-1) fees, and other expenses)	0.13%	1.63%

The minimum and maximum Total Annual Portfolio Company Operating Expense figures in the above table do not reflect the effect of any fee waiver or expense reimbursement arrangement.

Principal Risks of Investing in the Policy

Sub-Account Investment Risk. Your Accumulation Value under the Policy, to the extent invested in the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account, has no guaranteed minimum value. Therefore, you bear the risk that any adverse investment performance in the Sub-Accounts may reduce your Accumulation Value under the Policy. You are also subject to the risk that the investment performance of the Sub-Accounts you select may be less favorable than that of other Sub-Accounts, and in order to keep the Policy in force you may be required to pay more premiums than originally planned. Additionally, you could lose money you have invested in the Policy due to poor investment performance of the Sub-Accounts. The Policy also offers you the opportunity to have your Accumulation Value increase more rapidly than it would under comparable fixed life insurance by virtue of favorable investment performance. The Death Benefit may also increase and decrease with investment experience.

Portfolio Risks. There is no assurance that any Portfolio will achieve its stated investment objective. A comprehensive discussion of the risks of each Portfolio may be found in each Portfolio’s prospectus. Please refer to the Portfolios’ prospectuses for more information. The amounts you invest in a particular Portfolio are not guaranteed and, because both principal and any return on the investment are subject to market risk, you can lose money by investing in the Portfolios.

Risks Associated with Certain Funds. The Certain Funds use managed volatility strategies to help limit the Fund’s overall volatility and reduce the effects of significant market downturns during periods of high equity market volatility. The managed volatility strategy could also limit a Fund’s ability to participate in rising equity markets compared to otherwise similar Funds that do not use a managed volatility strategy. Because the use of a managed volatility strategy may, in some markets, suppress the investment performance of a Fund compared to other similar Funds that do not employ such a strategy, investment in a Fund could limit the growth of Accumulation Value under the Policy.

Fixed Indexed Accounts. The interest credited under the Fixed Indexed Accounts will vary in part depending upon the performance of an underlying Index. For Indexed Account A , Indexed Account B and Indexed Account G, if the underlying Index declines or does not change in a given year, you bear the risk that no Index Credits will be added to your Accumulation Value in an Indexed Account Segment at the end of the Index Credit Term. You also bear the risk that sustained declines in the underlying Index may result in Index Credits not being credited to your Accumulation Value for a prolonged period of time and you may need to increase your premium payments in order to keep the Policy in force. Conversely,

Page 11

for Indexed Account A and Indexed Account B, if the investment performance of the underlying Index exceeds the Growth Cap for the Segment, the Index Credits credited to your Accumulation Value would be limited to the Growth Cap for that Segment multiplied by the Participation Rate which may be less than the increase in the underlying Index over the Segment Term. In addition, the amount of any partial surrender or deduction of monthly policy charges from a Segment prior to the end of the Index Credit Term will not receive an Index Credit.

We manage our obligation to credit Index Credits in part by purchasing call options on the Index and by prospectively adjusting the Growth Cap on Segment Dates to reflect changes in the costs of purchasing such call options (the price of call options vary with market conditions). In certain cases, we may reduce the Growth Cap for a future Index Credit Term for Indexed Account A and Indexed Account B. If we do so, the amount of the Index Credit which you may have otherwise received would be reduced. Although the Growth Cap may not be less than the guaranteed minimum Growth Cap, it is within our sole discretion to set the Growth Cap for any indexed Segment.

We may, at our sole discretion, change the Participation Rate for future Index Credit Terms on amounts allocated to Indexed Account G. If we do so, the amount of the Index Credit which you may have otherwise received could be reduced. It is within our sole discretion to change the current Participation Rate for Indexed Account G; however, it will never be less than 10% or greater than 200%.

There is no guarantee that the underlying Indices will be available during the entire time you own your Policy. If an Index is discontinued or we are unable to utilize it, we may substitute a successor index of our choosing. If we do so, the performance of the new index may differ from the currently available underlying Indices. This, in turn, may affect the Index Credits you earn.

There is no guarantee that we will continue to offer the Fixed Indexed Accounts during the entire time you own your Policy. We may discontinue offering any or all of the Fixed Indexed Accounts at any time. If we discontinue offering any or all of the Fixed Indexed Accounts, you may transfer Accumulation Value from the Fixed Indexed Accounts to any other investment options available under the Policy. If you do not do so, your Accumulation Value in the Fixed Indexed Account will be reallocated to the Guaranteed Interest Account.

Allocating Net Premiums or Accumulation Value to one or all of the Fixed Indexed Accounts is not equivalent to investing in the underlying stocks comprising the underlying Indices. You will have no ownership rights in the underlying stocks comprising the Index, such as voting rights, dividend payments, or other distributions. Also, we are not affiliated with the Index or the underlying stocks comprising the Index. Consequently, the Index and the issuers of the underlying stocks comprising the Index have no involvement with the Policy.

If you surrender your Policy before the end of an Index Credit Term, no Index Credit will be credited to your Accumulation Value in that Index Credit Term.

See also the Fixed Indexed Accounts section of the General Description of the Policy portion of this prospectus for information on Growth Caps and Participation Rates that apply to the Fixed Indexed Accounts.

Policy Loan Risks. A Policy loan, whether or not repaid, will affect the value of your Policy over time because the amounts borrowed do not participate in the investment performance of the Sub-Accounts. In addition, a charge is deducted from your Accumulation Value each month while there is a Policy loan outstanding. The Death Benefit is reduced by the amount of any outstanding Policy indebtedness. If you

Page 12

surrender the Policy or allow it to lapse while a Policy loan is outstanding, the amount of the Policy loan, to the extent it has not previously been taxed, will be considered as an amount you received and taxed accordingly. Policy indebtedness reduces the Surrender Value and increases the risk that your Policy will lapse.

Policy Termination. There is the risk that the Policy may terminate or lapse. If your Policy terminates or lapses, all of the Agreements added to the Policy will also terminate or lapse. Policy Termination will occur when there is no Accumulation Value, or the Policy loan amount (plus accrued interest) equals the Accumulation Value, and you do not make a payment into the Policy during the Grace Period. You may reinstate a terminated or lapsed Policy, subject to certain conditions. Policy loans may increase the risk that the Policy will terminate or lapse. If a Policy terminates or lapses with an outstanding Policy loan, there may be significant adverse tax consequences to the Owner. See “Policy Premiums.”

Fees and Expenses. Certain fees and expenses are currently assessed at less than their maximum levels. We may increase these current charges in the future up to the maximum levels. If fees and expenses are increased, you may need to increase the amount and/or frequency of premiums to keep the Policy in force. The deduction of monthly Policy charges will reduce your Accumulation Value.

The Policy may also be unsuitable as a short-term savings vehicle due to the costs of insurance and expenses charged. Furthermore, Sub-Account values could decline depending upon changes in the Underlying Funds. Depending upon the timing of withdrawals, Owners could lose all or part of their premium payments.

Risks Associated with the General Account. The Guaranteed Interest Account, the Fixed Indexed Accounts and the Fixed Loan Account are part of our General Account. Our General Account consists of all assets owned by us other than those in the Variable Account and any other separate accounts which we may establish. Investors look to the financial strength of Minnesota Life for its insurance guarantees. Guarantees provided by Minnesota Life as to the benefits promised in the contract, such as payment of the Death Benefit, are subject to the claims paying ability of Minnesota Life and are subject to the risk that Minnesota Life may default on its obligations under those guarantees.

Access to Cash Values through Partial Surrenders and Withdrawals. You should purchase the Policy only if you have the financial ability to keep it in force for a substantial period of time. You should not purchase the Policy if you intend to surrender all or part of your Policy in the near future. Your ability to access the Policy’s Accumulation Value is subject to limitations on amounts that may be withdrawn.

Surrender and Partial Surrenders. Surrendering your Policy or taking partial surrenders may have significant tax consequences. If you Surrender your Policy, you may be assessed a Surrender Charge, which may be significant. A partial surrender will be subject to a transaction charge equal to the lesser of $25 or 2 percent of the amount of the partial surrender. A partial surrender will reduce the Accumulation Value and will reduce the Death Benefit and increase the risk of Termination. See “Federal Tax Status.”

Qualification as Life Insurance. We believe that a Policy issued on the basis of a standard Underwriting Class should qualify as life insurance under the Code. However, due to lack of guidance in this area, it is not clear whether a Policy issued on a sub-standard basis would qualify. A Policy may also fail to qualify as life insurance under the Code if too much premium is paid into the Policy or the diversification and investor control requirements are not met for investments in the Variable Account. Failure to qualify would mean that the death proceeds would be included in the Beneficiary’s gross income for federal income tax purposes, and that the Accumulation Value would be constructively

Page 13

received before it is actually received. Depending upon the amount of assets in and the level of estate planning undertaken with regard to the Policy Owner’s estate, there is also a risk that the Death Benefit payable under this Policy may be subject to estate taxation. See the “Policy Premiums” and “Federal Tax Status”.

Modified Endowment Contract Status. It is possible that a Policy qualifying as life insurance will be treated as a MEC, depending on how rapidly the Policy is funded. A MEC is treated as life insurance with respect to the tax treatment of death proceeds and the tax-free inside build-up of yearly Accumulation Value increases. However, any amounts you receive, such as loans or amounts received from partial or total surrender of the Policy are includable in gross income on an income-first basis. With certain exceptions, the tax treatment includes a ten percent additional income tax imposed on the portion of any distribution taken before age 59½ that is included in income. See “Federal Tax Status.”

Overloan Protection Agreement. You may elect the Overloan Protection Agreement to prevent policy Termination in certain circumstances. The tax treatment of the Overloan Protection Agreement is uncertain, and it is not clear whether the Overloan Protection Agreement will be effective to prevent taxation of any outstanding loan balance as a distribution in those situations where Overloan Protection takes effect. Anyone contemplating exercise of the Policy’s Overloan Protection Agreement should consult a tax adviser.

General Description of Registrant, Depositor, and Portfolio Companies

Minnesota Life Insurance Company

We are Minnesota Life Insurance Company, a life insurance company organized under the laws of Minnesota. Our Home Office is at 400 Robert Street North, St. Paul, Minnesota 55101-2098, telephone: 651-665-3500. We are licensed to conduct life insurance business in all states of the United States (except New York), the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.

Individual Variable Universal Life Account

On June 11, 2007, our Board of Directors established the Minnesota Life Individual Variable Universal Life Account, as a separate account in accordance with Minnesota insurance law. The Variable Account is registered as a “unit investment trust” with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), but registration does not signify that the SEC supervises the management, or the investment practices or policies, of the Variable Account. The Variable Account meets the definition of a “separate account” under the federal securities laws.

We are the legal Owner of the assets in the Variable Account. Minnesota Life is obligated to pay all amounts promised to Policy Owners and Beneficiaries under the Policies. The Minnesota law under which the Variable Account was established provides that the assets of the Variable Account shall not be chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business which we may conduct, but shall be held and applied exclusively to the benefit of the holders of those variable universal life insurance policies for which the Variable Account was established. The investment performance of the Variable Account is entirely independent of both the investment performance of our General Account and of any other separate account which we may have established or may later establish.

The Variable Account currently has multiple Sub-Accounts to which you may allocate Net Premiums. Each Sub-Account invests in shares of a corresponding Portfolio of the Funds.

Page 14

The Funds

The name of each of the Portfolios, fund type and investment objectives, the investment adviser and/or sub-adviser, current expenses and performance information may be found in Appendix A. Prospectuses for the Portfolios contain more detailed information about each Portfolio, including discussion of the Portfolio’s investment techniques and risks associated with its investments. You may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from us electronically by calling our customer service line at 1-844-208-2412. You should carefully read the prospectuses for the Portfolios before investing in the Policy.

Voting Rights

We will vote the Fund shares held in the various Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account at regular and special shareholder meetings of the Funds in accordance with your instructions. If, however, the 1940 Act or any regulation thereunder should change and we determine that it is permissible to vote the Fund shares in our own right, we may elect to do so. The number of votes as to which you have the right to instruct will be determined by dividing your Policy’s Accumulation Value in a Sub-Account by the net asset value per share of the corresponding Fund Portfolio. Fractional shares will be counted. The number of votes as to which you have the right to instruct will be determined as of the date coincident with the date established by the Funds for determining shareholders eligible to vote at the meeting of the Funds. We will vote Fund shares held by the Variable Account as to which no instructions are received in proportion to the voting instructions which are received from Policy Owners with respect to all policies participating in the Variable Account. Proportional voting may result in a small number of Policy Owners determining the outcome of the vote.

We may, when required by state insurance regulatory authorities, disregard voting instructions if the instructions require that shares be voted so as to cause a change in sub-classification or investment policies of the Funds or approve or disapprove an investment advisory contract of the Funds. In addition, we may disregard voting instructions in favor of changes in the investment policies or the investment advisers of the Funds if we reasonably disapprove of such changes. A change would be disapproved only:

•

if the proposed change is contrary to state law or disapproved by state regulatory authorities on a determination that the change would be detrimental to the interests of Policy Owners, or

•

if we determined that the change would be inconsistent with the investment objectives of the Funds or would result in the purchase of securities for the Funds which vary from the general quality and nature of investments and investment techniques utilized by other separate accounts created by us or any of our affiliates which have similar investment objectives.

In the event that we disregard voting instructions, a summary of that action and the reason for such action will be included in your next annual report or through a special notice.

Charges

Policy Charges

We assess certain charges against premiums and Accumulation Value under the Policy. The maximum and minimum charges and the charges for certain specified insureds are described in the “Fee Tables” section of this prospectus. The charges compensate us for: (1) services and benefits we provide; (2) costs and expenses we incur; and (3) risks we assume.

Page 15

Services and Benefits We Provide:

•

the Death Benefit, cash, and loan benefits under the Policy;

•

investment options, including premium payment allocations;

•

administration of elective options; and

•

the distribution of reports to Owners.

Costs and Expenses We Incur:

•

costs associated with processing and underwriting Applications, and with issuing and administering the Policy (including any Agreements);

•

overhead and other expenses for providing services and benefits, and sales and marketing expenses, including compensation paid in connection with the sale of the Policies; and

•

other costs of doing business, such as collecting premium payments, maintaining records, processing claims, effecting transactions, and paying federal, state, and local premium and other taxes and fees.

Risks We Assume:

•

that the cost of insurance charges we may assess are insufficient to meet our actual claims because insureds die sooner than we estimate; and

•

that the costs of providing the services and benefits under the Policies exceed the charges we assess.

All of the Policy and Agreement charges are subject to adjustment, but the Policy and Agreement charges will never exceed the maximum amounts shown on the Policy data pages. If any Policy or Agreement charges are adjusted, any such adjustment will be based on future estimated or emerging experience factors as well as profit considerations. Experience factors that could cause a change in the policy or agreement charges are interest, mortality, persistency, policy duration, taxes, Accumulation Value allocations, expenses, and profit considerations.

Premium Charge. Prior to allocation of a premium payment, we assess a charge from each premium payment to compensate us for distribution and administrative expenses and certain taxes associated with our issuance and maintenance of the Policy. We credit the remaining amount (the Net Premium) to your Policy’s Accumulation Value according to your allocation instructions. The current Premium Charge is 5.5 percent of each premium.

The premium charge includes premium taxes that we are required to pay to the state in which this Policy is issued.

Accumulation Value Charges. We assess the following charges against your Accumulation Value: (1) a Monthly Policy Charge; (2) a Policy Issue Charge; (3) a Cost of Insurance Charge; (4) a Mortality and Expense Risk Charge; (5) a Cash Extra Charge; (6) certain transaction charges; (7) a Surrender Charge; (8) an Illustrative Report Charge; and (9) charges for any Agreements you elect.

Some of the Accumulation Value charges depend on the “Risk Class” of the insureds. The Risk Class of the insureds is based, in part, upon the insureds’ “Underwriting Class” and “Tobacco Class.”

The Underwriting Class of the insureds represent the level of mortality risk that we assume. The Tobacco Class refers to the tobacco use habits of an insured.

Page 16

Monthly Policy Charge. The Monthly Policy Charge is currently $20 per month. The Monthly Policy Charge compensates us for certain administrative expenses we bear, including those attributable to the records we create and maintain for your Policy.

Policy Issue Charge. We assess a monthly Policy Issue Charge for the first 10 years following issuance of the Policy. The charge varies based upon the Age, gender and Risk Class of the insureds. The Policy Issue Charge compensates us for our expenses of issuing, underwriting and distributing the Policy. The Policy Issue Charge for your Policy is shown on the Policy data pages of the Policy. You may also ask your financial professional for an illustration showing the approximate Policy Issue Charge for the Policy Face Amount you are considering purchasing.

Cost of Insurance Charge. We assess a monthly Cost of Insurance Charge to compensate us for underwriting the Death Benefit. The charge depends on a number of variables (insureds’ Ages, genders, Risk Classes, and Face Amount) that would cause it to vary from Policy to Policy and from monthly Policy Anniversary to monthly Policy Anniversary.

The cost of insurance charge is the Net Amount at Risk multiplied by the applicable cost of insurance rate. The Net Amount at Risk varies with investment performance, the payment of premiums and the assessment of Policy charges. The Net Amount at Risk is equal to the Death Benefit payable divided by the Net Amount at Risk divisor, as shown on the data pages of your Policy, minus the Accumulation Value of the Policy.

The actual monthly cost of insurance rates are based on our expectations as to future mortality and expense experience. The rates will never be greater than the maximum guaranteed cost of insurance rates for the Face Amount shown on the Policy data pages of your Policy. We occasionally review the adequacy of our cost of insurance rates and may adjust those charges prospectively depending upon our expectations about our future mortality and expense experience, lapse rates, Accumulation Value allocation, policy duration, taxes, investment earnings and profit considerations. Any change in the cost of insurance rates will apply to all insureds of the same Age, Risk Class, and number of full years insurance has been in force.

In general the longer you own your Policy, the higher the cost of insurance rate will be as the insureds grow older. Our current cost of insurance rates are generally lower for non-tobacco users than tobacco users, and for persons considered to be in excellent health. On the other hand, insureds who present particular health, occupational or non-work related risks may require higher cost of insurance rates under their Policies.

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge. We assess a monthly Mortality and Expense Risk charge to compensate us for certain mortality and expense risks we assume. The mortality risk is that an insured will live for a shorter time than we project. The expense risk is that the expenses that we incur will exceed the administrative charge limits we set in the Policy.

This charge currently is equal to a monthly rate of 0.025 percent of the Accumulation Value less the Fixed Loan Account value.

If this charge does not cover our actual costs, we may absorb any such loss. Conversely, if the charge more than covers actual costs, the excess is added to our surplus. We expect to profit from this charge and may use these profits for any lawful purpose including covering distribution expenses.

Page 17

Cash Extra Charge. We may assess a monthly charge to compensate us for providing the Death Benefit under the Policy where the insureds present a heightened or increased level of mortality risk. Insureds may present increased mortality risk because of an outstanding medical condition (e.g., cancer that is in remission), or occupation or activity engaged in by an insured (e.g., sky-diving). We will assess the Cash Extra Charge only for the period of time necessary to compensate us for the heightened mortality risk we would bear as a result of an insured’s outstanding medical condition, occupation or activity. The Cash Extra Charge, which is generally not applicable to most Policies, is uniquely determined for each insured and may vary based upon factors such as gender, Risk Class and Age. The charge is defined as a level cost per thousand dollars of Face Amount. If a Cash Extra Charge applies to your Policy, the amount of the charge will be shown on the Policy data pages of the Policy. You may also ask your financial professional for an illustration showing the approximate Cash Extra Charge for the risk class you think may apply to the Policy you are considering purchasing.

Transaction Charges. We may assess certain transaction charges if you elect to make a Policy change, take a partial surrender, request a transfer Accumulation Value among the Sub-Accounts, the Guaranteed Interest Account and the Fixed Indexed Accounts or request additional illustrative reports. We assess transaction charges from the Accumulation Value of your Policy.

Policy Change Transaction Charge. We assess a Policy Change Transaction Charge to compensate us for expenses associated with processing a Policy change such as a decrease in Face Amount, a change in Death Benefit option or a change in your Risk Classification. Currently, the charge is $95 for each policy change.

Partial Surrender Transaction Charge. For each partial surrender, we assess a processing fee of 2 percent of the amount surrendered, up to $25, from the remaining Accumulation Value. The fee compensates us for the administrative costs in generating the withdrawal payment and in making all calculations which may be required because of the partial surrender.

Transfer Transaction Charge. The Transfer Transaction Charge is assessed on Policy transactions. For purposes of assessing the charge, we consider all telephone, facsimile, written and/or online requests processed on the same day to be one transfer, regardless of the number of Sub-Accounts (or Guaranteed Interest Account) affected by the transfer(s). We currently do not assess a Transfer Transaction Charge.

Surrender Charge. If your Policy terminates or you fully surrender your Policy during the first 10 Policy Years, we assess a surrender charge from your Accumulation Value and pay the remaining amount (less any unpaid Policy charges, outstanding Policy loan and accrued interest) to you. The payment you receive is called the Surrender Value.

The surrender charge equals the sum of any remaining Policy Issue Charges for the Initial Face Amount measured from Policy Termination or full surrender to the end of the 10 year surrender charge period. The surrender charge is equal to the lesser of (i) 60 times the Policy Issue Charge for the Initial Face Amount or (ii) the sum of any remaining Policy Issue Charges for the Initial Face Amount, multiplied by a factor of 2, as applicable. The Surrender Charge may be significant. You should carefully calculate these charges before you request a surrender. Under some circumstances, the level of Surrender Charges might result in no Surrender Value being available.

Page 18

We assess the Surrender Charge to compensate us partially for the cost of administering, issuing, and selling the Policy, including agent sales commissions, the cost of printing the prospectuses and sales literature, any advertising costs, medical exams, review of Applications for insurance, processing of the Applications, establishing Policy records, and Policy issue. We do not expect Surrender Charges to cover all of these costs. To the extent that they do not, we will cover the short-fall from our General Account assets, which may include profits from the mortality and expense risk charge and cost of insurance charge.

For example, if you surrender your Policy within the first 10 Policy Years, you could pay a Surrender Charge of up to $9,012.11 based on a $200,000 Face Amount, representing a charge of 4.5% of the Policy’s Face Amount. Because Policy Issue Charges can be higher for Policies with greater Face Amounts, the Surrender Charge, both as a dollar amount and as a percentage of the Policy’s Face Amount, may increase for Policies with higher Face Amounts.

Illustrative Report Charge. We may charge you up to $250 for each illustrative report we provide you in a Policy Year after the first illustrative report. An illustrative report is a hypothetical projection of Accumulation Values and Death Benefit based upon certain Policy assumptions, including but not limited to, insureds’ Ages, genders, Accumulation Value, current and guaranteed charges and assumed interest or policy earnings rate. We currently do not assess an Illustrative Report Charge.

Charges for Agreements. We assess monthly charges for supplemental insurance benefits you add to your Policy by Agreement. Charges for the Agreements are described in the “Periodic Charges Other Than Investment Option Operating Expenses” table in the “Fee Tables” section of this prospectus.

Deduction of Accumulation Value Charges. We will assess monthly Policy charges or Policy Transaction Charges against your Accumulation Value in the Guaranteed Interest Account, the Variable Account, the Interim Account and the Fixed Indexed Accounts in the order described below.

First, we will deduct monthly Policy charges or Policy Transaction Charges from your Accumulation Value in the Guaranteed Interest Account that has not been specified for dollar cost averaging.

If the monthly Policy charges exceed your Accumulation Value in the Guaranteed Interest Account that has not been specified for dollar cost averaging, the remaining monthly Policy charges or Policy Transaction Charges will be deducted from the Variable Account on a pro-rata basis from your Accumulation Value in each Sub-Account. Pro-rata basis means charges will be deducted proportionally from the Accumulation Value of each Sub-Account in the Variable Account in relation to the total Accumulation Value of all Sub-Accounts in the Variable Account.

If the monthly Policy charges exceed your Accumulation Value in the Guaranteed Interest Account that has not been specified for dollar cost averaging and the Variable Account, the remaining monthly Policy charges or Policy Transaction Charges will be deducted from your Accumulation Value in the Interim Account.

If the monthly Policy charges exceed your Accumulation Value in the Guaranteed Interest Account that has not been specified for dollar cost averaging, the Variable Account, and the Interim Account, the remaining monthly Policy charges or Policy Transaction Charges will be deducted from your Accumulation Value in the Guaranteed Interest Account that has been specified for dollar cost averaging on a pro-rata basis from the Accumulation Value specified for each Fixed Indexed Account. Pro-rata basis means charges will be deducted proportionally from

Page 19

the Accumulation Value specified for each Fixed Indexed Account in relation to the total Accumulation Value of all Accumulation Value in the Guaranteed Interest Account that has been specified for all Fixed Indexed Accounts.

If the monthly Policy charges exceed your Accumulation Value in the Guaranteed Interest Account that has not been specified for dollar cost averaging, the Variable Account, the Interim Account and the Accumulation Value in the Guaranteed Interest Account that has been specified for dollar cost averaging, the remaining monthly Policy charges or Policy Transaction Charges will be deducted from your Accumulation Value in the Fixed Indexed Accounts on a last in, first out basis from the Accumulation Value in each Segment. Last in, first out means that the Accumulation Value from Segments will be deducted first from the Segment with the closest Segment Date prior to the effective date of the transaction. If the amount of the transaction is more than the amount in that Segment, then the remaining amount of the transaction will be deducted from the Segment with the next prior Segment Date, etc., until the entire amount of the transaction has been accounted for. If there are multiple Segments with the same segment date, the amount of the Accumulation Value deducted from those Segments will be determined on a pro-rata basis among those segments.

However, if you instruct us in writing, we will assess the monthly Policy charges or Policy Transaction Charges against the Guaranteed Interest Account, the Fixed Indexed Accounts or any of the Sub-Accounts that you specify.

Compensation Paid for the Sale of Policies

Securian Financial Services, Inc. (“Securian Financial”), whose address is 400 Robert Street North, St. Paul, Minnesota 55101-2098, is a registered broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). Securian Financial was incorporated in 1984 under the laws of the state of Minnesota. Securian Financial, an affiliate of Minnesota Life, is the principal underwriter of the Policies. Securian Financial and other authorized broker-dealers sell the Policies through their registered representatives, each of whom is also an insurance agent appointed by Minnesota Life. Commissions for the sale of Policies by broker-dealers other than Securian Financial are paid directly to such broker-dealers by Minnesota Life, in all cases as agent for Securian Financial, and as authorized by the broker-dealers. The amount of commission received by an individual registered representative in connection with the sale of a Policy is determined by his or her broker-dealer. In the case of Policies sold by registered representatives of Securian Financial, commissions are paid directly to such registered representatives by Minnesota Life as agent for Securian Financial. Minnesota Life also pays compensation as agent for Securian Financial to general agents of Minnesota Life who are also Securian Financial registered representatives, which is described in more detail below. Securian Financial may also receive compensation from an underlying Fund or its affiliates as described in more detail in the “Payments Made by Underlying Mutual Funds” section of this prospectus. The commissions and compensation described in this paragraph, and the payments to broker-dealers described below, do not result in charges to the Policy that are in addition to the Policy charges described elsewhere in this prospectus.

Payments to Registered Representatives of Securian Financial. Commissions to registered representatives of Securian Financial on the sale of Policies include:

•

Up to 62.1 percent of gross premium paid in the first twenty four months after the Policy is issued (initial commissions), however, we will limit the amount of gross premium on which we will pay initial commissions to an annual target premium we establish based upon the Ages, genders and Risk Classes of the insureds and Face Amount of the insurance for the Policy.

Page 20

•

Up to 3.24 percent of the gross premium paid between the twelfth and twenty fourth months (up to the target premium for gross premiums paid between the twelfth and twenty fourth months), however, gross premium that counts toward initial commissions will not be counted for this portion of the commission.

•

We will also pay up to 3.24 percent on all premiums (up to the target premium) paid in years three through ten.

•

On premiums received in excess of the target premium we will pay commissions up to 1.89 percent in Policy Years one through ten and .81 percent in Policy Years 11 and greater.

In addition, based uniformly on the sales of all insurance policies by registered representatives of Securian Financial, we and Securian Financial will award credits which allow those registered representatives who are responsible for sales of the Policies to attend conventions and other meetings sponsored by us or our affiliates for the purpose of promoting the sale of insurance and/or investment products offered by us and our affiliates. Such credits may cover the registered representatives’ transportation, hotel accommodations, meals, registration fees and the like. We may also pay registered representatives additional amounts based upon their production and the persistency of life insurance and annuity business placed with us. Finally, registered representatives may also be eligible for financing arrangements, company-paid training, insurance benefits, and other benefits, including occasional entertainment, based on their contract with us.

We make additional payments for sales of the Policies to general agents who manage registered representatives. Payments to general agents vary and depend on many factors including the commissions and amount of proprietary products sold by registered representatives supervised by the general agent. General agents may also be eligible for insurance benefits, other cash benefits, and noncash compensation such as conventions and other meetings.

Payments to Broker-Dealers. We pay compensation for the sale of the Policies by affiliated and unaffiliated broker-dealers. The compensation that we pay to broker-dealers for the sale of the Polices is generally not expected to exceed, on a present value basis, the aggregate amount of compensation that we pay with respect to sales made by registered representatives of Securian Financial. Broker-dealers pay their registered representatives all or a portion of the commissions received for their sales of the Policy. We may also pay other broker-dealers amounts to compensate them for training and education meetings for their registered representatives.

Depending on the particular selling arrangements, other broker dealers may be compensated for distribution activities, including certain “wholesalers”, who control access to certain selling offices and for access or referrals to other selling broker dealers. That compensation may be separate from the compensation paid for sales of the Policies. In addition, we may compensate certain marketing organizations, associations, brokers or consultants which provide marketing assistance and other services to either the whole selling or selling broker-dealers who distribute the Policies, and which may be affiliated with either of those types of broker-dealers.

Additional Compensation. To the extent permitted by SEC and FINRA rules and other applicable laws and regulations, we may enter in distribution relationships with selected selling broker dealers where we may pay additional compensation in the form of marketing allowances, introduction fees and persistency fees (sometimes called “revenue sharing”). These additional compensation arrangements may include, for example, payments in connection with the firm’s “due diligence” examination of the Policies, payments for introductions to life insurance producers, providing conferences or seminars, providing sales or training programs for life insurance producers and other employees, payments to assist a selling broker dealer in connection with marketing the Policies or other support services

provided to the life insurance producers selling the Policies. The payments vary in amount and may depend upon the selling broker dealer meeting certain cumulative premium thresholds for the sales of our Policies.

These arrangements may not be applicable to all selling broker dealers, and the terms of such arrangements may differ between selling broker dealers. Additional information on special compensation arrangements involving selling firms may be found in the Statement of Additional Information, which is available upon request. You may also ask your sales representative and the selling broker dealer for additional information about compensation they may receive in connection with your purchase of a Policy. Any such compensation, which may be significant at times, will not result in any additional direct Policy charges to you by us.

All of the compensation described here, and other compensation or benefits provided by Minnesota Life or our affiliates, may be more or less than the overall compensation on similar or other products. The amount and/or structure of the compensation may influence your registered representative, broker-dealer or selling institution to present this Policy over other investment alternatives. However, the differences in compensation 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 these differences and how he or she and his or her broker-dealer are compensated for selling the Policies.

Portfolio Company Charges

Portfolio company charges and expenses are paid out of the assets of the Portfolio Companies and are described in the prospectuses for those companies.

Payments Made by Underlying Mutual Funds

We pay the costs of selling Policies, some of which are described in more detail in the “Compensation Paid for the Sale of Policies” section of this prospectus. Sale of the Policies benefits the Funds by providing increased distribution of the shares of the Funds. The Funds, or their investment advisers or principal underwriters, may pay us (or our affiliates) a fee for the purpose of reimbursing us for the costs of certain distribution or operational services that we provide and that benefit the Funds. Payments from an underlying Fund that relate to distribution services are made pursuant to the Fund’s 12b-1 plan, under which the payments are deducted from the Fund’s assets and described in the fee table included in the Fund’s prospectus. The 12b-1 payments from underlying Funds range in amount from 0 percent to 0.45 percent of Fund assets held in the Variable Account.

In addition, payments may be made pursuant to service/administration Agreements between us (or our affiliates) and the underlying mutual fund’s investment adviser (or its affiliates), in which case payments are typically made from assets of that firm and not from the assets of the Fund. Service and administrative payments are paid to us or our affiliates for such things as our aggregation of all Policy Owner purchase, redemption, and transfer requests within the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account each business day and the submission of one net purchase/redemption request to each underlying mutual fund. When the Variable Account aggregates such transactions through the Variable Account’s omnibus account with an underlying mutual fund, the Fund avoids the expenses associated with processing individual transactions. Service and administrative payments received by us or our affiliates range in amount from 0 percent to 0.20 percent of Fund assets held in the Variable Account.

General Description of the Policy

Variable Universal Life Insurance

This Policy is a universal life insurance policy which permits you to determine the amount of life insurance protection and the amount of premiums you plan to pay. Universal life allows you the flexibility to customize a Policy to meet your needs and to change your Policy after issue to meet your changing needs and objectives. You may decrease the Face Amount and/or change the Planned Premium subject to the limitations described herein, so long as the Policy remains in force.

Flexibility at Issue. Subject to certain minimums, maximums and our underwriting standards, you may choose any level of premium or Death Benefit that you wish. Under the Policy, the highest premium permitted at the time of issue, for a specific Death Benefit, is one which is allowed under the Code for the Policy to qualify as life insurance. The smallest premium that we will accept at the time of issue is the Initial Minimum Premium (shown on your policy data pages). The amount of the Initial Minimum Premium will depend on the Policy’s Initial Face Amount, the Death Benefit option selected; each insured’s Age at issue, gender, Risk Classification and any additional benefit Agreements chosen. The minimum Initial Face Amount is $200,000.

Policy Changes

The Policy allows you to decrease the Face Amount and/or change the Death Benefit option of the Policy after it has been issued, subject to the limitations described more fully below. Decreases in Face Amount or changes to the Death Benefit option are referred to as policy changes. A partial surrender of a Policy’s Accumulation Value or a change in Risk Classification is also considered a policy change. You may make one policy change or a combination of policy changes at one time. Policy changes may only be made after the first Policy Year.

A request to change your Policy’s Face Amount must be made before the second death. The minimum decrease in Face Amount must be at least $5,000 except for Face Amount changes which are the result of a partial surrender.

To decrease your Face Amount, you must send to us at our Home Office a Written Request in Good Order. The Initial Face Amount may be decreased if it has been in force for at least one year. The effective date of the decrease will be the first monthly Policy Anniversary on or following the date we approve your Written Request.

If a Face Amount decrease would cause your Policy to be disqualified as life insurance under the Code, we will not approve your request. Unless you have specified otherwise in writing, we will not approve a Face Amount decrease that would cause your Policy to be classified as a MEC under the Code or to have other tax consequences. Other policy changes may also have tax consequences. You should consult a tax advisor before requesting a policy change. See “Federal Tax Status.”

If you have chosen the Level Death Benefit Death Benefit option and request a partial surrender, we will reduce the Face Amount of the Policy by the amount of the partial surrender. A partial surrender will not result in a reduction in the Face Amount of the Policy if the Increasing Option Death Benefit option is in effect.

Whenever a policy change is made, we will provide you with new policy data pages. The policy data pages will identify any new Face Amount, Death Benefit option, Risk Class, Planned Premium and Age of the insureds.

Page 23

You may request a policy change by completing an Application for change and submitting the Application in Good Order to us at our Home Office. Policy changes will only be made on a monthly anniversary. You may make one or a combination of policy changes on a given monthly Policy Anniversary. Policy changes will be effective on the first monthly Policy Anniversary on or after the date we approve the policy change.

Charge for Policy Change. Currently, we will assess a $95 charge to cover the administrative costs associated with processing a policy change and in no event will we increase the charge to more than $200. If, however, the only policy change is a partial surrender, we will only assess a transaction charge equal to 2 percent of the amount surrendered, not to exceed $25.

Transaction Requests. We process requests for financial transactions and certain non-financial transactions under the Policy on the Valuation Date we receive your request at our Home Office in Good Order. This means that if we receive your request for a financial transaction prior to 3:00 p.m. Central time on a Valuation Date, or prior to the end of the Valuation Date, we will process the request at the Unit Values determined as of the end of that Valuation Date. If we receive your request for a financial transaction at or after 3:00 p.m. Central time, or after the end of the Valuation Date, or on a non-Valuation Date, we will process the request at the Unit Values determined as of the end of the next Valuation Date. We apply the same cutoff times for processing requests for certain non-financial transactions as well.

For transactions involving transfers out of any of the Fixed Indexed Accounts, we will process transfers at the end of the current Segment Term(s).

Financial transactions include premium payments, surrenders, partial surrenders, transfers, policy changes and policy loans. Non-financial transactions subject to the same cutoff times as financial transactions include, among other things, changes in allocation of Net Premium payments among Investment Options. Requests for surrender, partial surrender and policy changes must be received by us at our Home Office in writing in Good Order. Requests for transfers, policy loans and changes in the allocation of Net Premium payments may be made in writing or via telephone by you, or if authorized by you, your agent may make a request for transfer or policy loan by telephone and must be received by us in Good Order. Written Requests may be submitted to us by mail or by facsimile (fax) transmission at 651-665-6955. Telephone requests may be made by calling us at 1-844-208-2412 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Central time, our regular business hours. We treat requests made via telephone or facsimile (fax) as received after the call or transmission ends and we receive the request in Good Order. We treat requests submitted via mail as received when received in Good Order in the mailroom of our Home Office.

Proof of Insurability. We may require evidence of insurability to change the Risk Classification of an insured or to add additional Agreements to the Policy.

Applications and Policy Issue

You must send a completed Application in Good Order and an initial premium payment to us at our Home Office to purchase the Policy. Before issuing a Policy, we will require evidence of insurability of the insureds satisfactory to us, which in some cases will require a medical examination. The Policy is only available for insureds between Issue Ages 20-85. Our approval of an Application is subject to our underwriting rules and we reserve the right to reject an Application for any reason.

If the Application is accompanied by a check for at least the Initial Minimum Premium and we approve the Application, the Policy Date will be the issue date, which is the date we approve the Application and issue the Policy. We use the Policy Date to determine subsequent monthly policy anniversaries.

Page 24

If we approve an Application that is not accompanied by a check for the Initial Minimum Premium, we may issue the Policy with a Policy Date which is 28 days after the issue date. If the Minimum Initial Premium is received prior to the Policy Date, life insurance coverage will not begin until the Initial Minimum Premium is paid. In order to comply with federal tax law, we may hold that amount in a non-interest bearing account until the Policy Date. If we hold the premiums, on the Policy Date we will allocate the Initial Minimum Premium to the Guaranteed Interest Account, the Sub-Account of the Variable Account, the Interim Account, or the Fixed Indexed Accounts if the Policy Date is on the Interim Account Transfer Date according to your instructions. We currently do not enforce this right. If the Initial Minimum Premium is paid after the Policy Date (and the Policy Date is not changed as described below), you will have paid for insurance coverage during a period when no coverage was in force. In that circumstance you may request that the Policy Date be the date on which our Home Office receives the Initial Minimum Premium. We will forward to you updated policy data pages to reflect the change in Policy Date. You must make such request at or prior to the time you pay the Initial Minimum Premium.

In certain cases, it may be to your advantage to have the Policy Date be the same as the issue date in order to preserve an Issue Age of an insured to provide more favorable cost of insurance rates. In that case, the Initial Minimum Premium must be paid when the Policy is delivered to you. When the Policy is issued, the Face Amount, Planned Premium, Death Benefit option, and any additional Agreements chosen will be listed on the policy data pages.

1035 Exchanges or Replacements

If you are considering the purchase of this Policy with the proceeds of another life insurance policy, also referred to as a “Section 1035 Exchange” or “Replacement”, it may or may not be advantageous to replace your existing policy with this Policy. You should compare both policies carefully. You may have to pay surrender charges on your old policy and there is a surrender charge period for this Policy. In addition, the charges for this Policy may be higher (or lower) and the benefits or investment options may be different from your old policy. You should not exchange another policy for this one unless you determine, after knowing all of the facts, that the exchange is in your best interest. For additional information regarding the tax impact in Section 1035 Exchanges, see “Federal Tax Status — Other Transactions.”

Ownership Rights

As the Policy Owner, you can exercise all the rights under the Policy, including the right to change the Owner, the Beneficiary and to make other policy changes.

Material Policy Variations by State

State	Rider or Feature	Availability or Variation
Florida	Restrictions on Transfers to and from General Account	Our ability to restrict transfers to and from our General Account for Policies issued in Florida include: (1) we may restrict up to 20% of your allocation of premium to the General Account options; (2) we many restrict the dollar amount of any transfer to the Guaranteed Interest Account or to the Fixed Indexed Accounts to be no more than 20% of your Accumulation Value; and (3) we may restrict the amount of any fixed interest rate loan repayment allocated to the Guaranteed Interest Account or to the Fixed Indexed Accounts to be no more than 20% of your outstanding loan balance.

Page 25

Policy Limitations

You may transfer Accumulation Value between the Guaranteed Interest Account, Interim Account, Fixed Indexed Accounts, and the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account and among the Sub-Accounts and Fixed Indexed Accounts.

Variable Account Transfers. You may request a transfer or rebalance of Accumulation Value at any time while the Policy remains in force, and you may arrange in advance for systematic rebalance or systematic transfers. A rebalance reallocates your Accumulation Value in the Sub-Accounts on a one-time or systematic basis. A systematic transfer is a transfer of Accumulation Value from one or more Sub-Account(s) to one or more other Sub-Account(s), one or more Fixed Indexed Accounts, and/or the Guaranteed Interest Account, on a systematic basis. Following your instructions as to the percentage of your Accumulation Value you wish to have in each of your Sub-Accounts, we will transfer amounts to and from those accounts to achieve the percentages you desire. We determine the amount you have available for transfer at the end of the Valuation Date on which we receive your request at our Home Office in Good Order. Your request for transfer may be made in writing or you, or your agent if authorized by you, may make a request for transfer by telephone. To do so, you may call us at 1-844-208-2412 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Central time, our regular business hours. You may also submit your request for transfer to us by facsimile (fax) transmission at 651-665-6955. We process transfers based on the Unit Values determined at the end of the Valuation Date on which we receive your request for transfer in Good Order at our Home Office. This means that we must receive your request for transfer prior to 3:00 p.m. Central time on a Valuation Date or prior to the end of a Valuation Date, in order to process the request at the Unit Values determined as of that Valuation Date. If we receive your request for transfer at or after 3:00 p.m. Central time, or after the end of a Valuation Date, or on a non-Valuation Date, we will process the request at the Unit Values determined as of the following Valuation Date. We treat transfer requests made via telephone and facsimile (fax) as received once the call or transmission ends.

You may transfer Accumulation Value among the Sub-Accounts an unlimited number of times in a Policy Year, subject to our limitations on market-timing and frequent trading activities and Portfolio limitations on the frequent purchase and redemption of shares.

Fixed Indexed Account Transfers. Fixed Indexed Account Segments are funded by Net Premium payments, Accumulation Value transferred from the Variable Account or the Guaranteed Interest Account or from Accumulation Value rolled over from a prior Segment following completion of the Index Credit Term. A new Segment is created when you allocate Net Premium to a Fixed Indexed Account on an Interim Account Transfer Date or you request to transfer Accumulation Value from the Variable Account or the Guaranteed Interest Account to a Fixed Indexed Account or among the Fixed Indexed Accounts. For transfers to a Fixed Indexed Account, we will allocate your Accumulation Value to the Interim Account until the next Interim Account Transfer Date and then transfer the Accumulation Value from the Interim Account to the Fixed Indexed Accounts as you instructed. Accumulation Value held in the Interim Account will earn interest at the current Interim Account interest rate. A new Segment is also created when Accumulation Value from a prior Segment is rolled over to a new Segment following completion of the Index Credit Term of the prior Segment.

Once a Fixed Indexed Account Segment is created on a Segment Date, you may not transfer Accumulation Value from the Segment to any other investment option under the Policy before the end of the Index Credit Term. Each Segment has its own Participation Rate and Growth Cap. The Participation Rates for Fixed Indexed Account A, Fixed Indexed Account B and Fixed Indexed Account G are set at Policy Issue or when a new Fixed Indexed Account is made available and will not change for any Index Credit Term. The Participation Rate for Fixed Indexed Account G may change prior to the beginning of

Page 26

any Index Segment and will remain in effect for the Index Credit Term. The Growth Cap for a Fixed Indexed Account is that which is in effect on a Segment Date and will remain in effect throughout the Index Credit Term. The Growth Cap and Participation Rate in effect as of the Policy Date are shown in the Policy data pages. The Growth Cap and Participation Rate for the Segments of your initial premium are the Growth Caps and Participation Rates in effect as of the Interim Account Transfer Date on or following the effective date of your initial premium. We will notify you in your Annual Report or by other written notice of the Growth Cap for new Segments beginning after the date of the Annual Report.

Interim Account Transfer Dates are the dates when transfers into the Fixed Indexed Account may occur, and are shown in your Policy data pages. We reserve the right to change the Interim Account Transfer Dates and to limit transfers into the Fixed Indexed Account. Since the Interim Account Transfer Date coincides with the day of the month that the S&P 500® Index and S&P Low Vol. Index options close, changes in the Interim Account Transfer Date will coincide with any change in the day of the month for closing the S&P 500® Index and S&P Low Vol. Index options. Transfers to either of the Fixed Indexed Accounts will be limited in those circumstances where we determine that a Policy Owner is engaging in market timing or disruptive trading activities. See “Market Timing and Disruptive Trading.” We will notify you in the Annual Report or other written notice if we change the Interim Account Transfer Dates.

We will allocate Net Premium payments and transfer Accumulation Value in the Interim Account attributable to Net Premium payments to the Fixed Indexed Accounts based on your current allocation instructions on file with us. When you allocate Net Premium to the Fixed Indexed Accounts on a date other than an Interim Account Transfer Date, we will transfer the Net Premium to the Interim Account. Your Net Premium will be allocated to the Interim Account on the day it is received and will remain there until the next Interim Account Transfer Date. We credit interest to and assess policy charges against your Accumulation Value in the Interim Account. On the Interim Account Transfer Date, your Accumulation Value in the Interim Account will be transferred to the Fixed Indexed Accounts based upon your allocation instructions. Below is an example of how we transfer Accumulation Value attributable to a premium payment to a Fixed Indexed Account Segment.

Example. We receive and apply a premium payment of $10,000 on January 2nd, which corresponds to a Net Premium of $9,450. Based upon the Owner’s instruction to allocate 100% of the Net Premium to a Fixed Index Account, all of the Net Premium is transferred to the Interim Account on that date and the Interim Account balance is $9,450. Accumulation Value in the Interim Account earns interest and Policy charges are deducted from Interim Account Accumulation Value. On January 18th (the Interim Account Transfer Date), the Accumulation Value in the Interim Account is equal to $9,350 and is transferred to the Fixed Indexed Account. After the transfer, the Interim Account balance will be zero.

You may also request that we transfer Accumulation Value from either the Guaranteed Interest Account or the Variable Account to the Fixed Indexed Accounts or among the Fixed Indexed Accounts. If you provide us with instructions to transfer Accumulation Value from the Guaranteed Interest Account or the Variable Account, we will transfer the amount to the Interim Account on the date we receive your request in Good Order. On the Interim Account Transfer Date, your Accumulation Value in the Interim Account will be transferred to the Fixed Indexed Accounts as you instructed.

If you provide us instructions to transfer Accumulation Value from one Fixed Indexed Account to another Fixed Indexed Account and we receive your request in Good Order, we will transfer the amount to the Interim Account on the date the Index Credit Term ends for the Segment from which the transfer is being made. On the next Interim Account Transfer Date, your Accumulation Value in the Interim Account will be transferred to the Fixed Indexed Account as you instructed. Below is an example of how we transfer Accumulation Value from the Variable Account to a Fixed Indexed Account Segment.

Page 27

Example. We receive your Written Request in Good Order on January 2nd to transfer on a pro-rata basis $10,000 of Accumulation Value from the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account to a Fixed Indexed Account. Pro-rata basis means Accumulation Value will be transferred proportionally from each Sub-Account in relation to the total Accumulation Value of all Sub-Accounts in the Variable Account. Based upon your instructions, on January 2nd, $10,000 is transferred to the Interim Account and the Accumulation Value in the Interim Account is $10,000. Accumulation Value in the Interim Account earns interest and Policy charges are deducted from Interim Account Accumulation Value. On January 18th (the Interim Account Transfer Date), the Accumulation Value in the Interim Account is equal to $9,900 and is transferred to the Fixed Indexed Account. After the transfer, the Interim Account balance will be zero.

Absent any instruction from you, Accumulation Value in a Fixed Indexed Account Segment will automatically be rolled over from the Segment at the end of the Index Credit Term to a new Segment. Alternatively, you may provide us with instructions to allocate Accumulation Value in a Segment to another Investment Option available under the Policy prior to the end of a Segment Term. We will accept instructions up to and including the date on which the Index Credit Term ends. Transfers from Fixed Indexed Account Segments are subject to the Policy’s transfer restrictions.

Dollar Cost Averaging. You may elect to participate in dollar cost averaging in the Application or by completing an election form that we receive. Dollar cost averaging is a strategy designed to reduce the risks associated with market fluctuations. The strategy spreads the allocation of your Net Premium into the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account or any of the Fixed Indexed Accounts over a period of time, up to one year, by systematically and automatically transferring, on a monthly basis, specified dollar amounts from the Guaranteed Interest Account into the Variable Account or any of the Fixed Indexed Accounts. This allows you to potentially reduce the risk of allocating most of your Net Premium into the Sub-Accounts and Fixed Indexed Accounts when prices are high. We do not assure the success of this strategy, and success depends on market trends. We cannot guarantee that dollar cost averaging will result in a profit or protect against loss.

Dollar cost averaging transfers will only take place on the Interim Account Transfer Date. A transfer under this program is not considered a transfer for purposes of assessing any Transfer Transaction Charge. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the dollar cost averaging at any time.

Other Transfer Restrictions. We reserve the right to limit transfers to and from the Guaranteed Interest Account and the Fixed Indexed Accounts and to eliminate such transfers altogether in our sole discretion. We also reserve the right to restrict the dollar amount of any transfer to or from the Guaranteed Interest Account and the Fixed Indexed Accounts.

The transfer transaction charge is guaranteed not to exceed $200. For purposes of assessing the charge, we consider all telephone, facsimile, written and/or online requests processed on the same day to be one transfer, regardless of the number of Sub-Accounts, Guaranteed Interest Account, or Fixed Indexed Account Segments affected by the transfer(s). We currently do not assess a transfer transaction charge.

We impose other restrictions on transfers. We reserve the right to require that the amount transferred to or from a Sub-Account, Fixed Indexed Account Segments, or the Guaranteed Interest Account be at least $250. If the Accumulation Value in a Sub-Account, the Fixed Indexed Account, or the Guaranteed Interest Account from which a transfer is to be made is less than $250, the entire Accumulation Value attributable to the Sub-Account, the Fixed Indexed Account or the Guaranteed Interest Account must be transferred. If a transfer would reduce the Accumulation Value in the Sub-Account from which the transfer is to be made to less than $250, we reserve the right to include that remaining Sub-Account Accumulation Value in the amount transferred.

Page 28

Telephone Transfers. A request for transfer submitted to us via telephone is subject to the same conditions and procedures as would apply to a written transfer request. However, during periods of marked economic or market changes, you may have difficulty due to a heavy volume of telephone calls. In those circumstances, you should consider submitting a written transfer request while continuing to attempt to contact us via telephone. We reserve the right to restrict the frequency of, or otherwise modify, condition, or terminate telephone transfer privileges. For more information on telephone transactions, contact us at our Home Office or at 1-844-208-2412 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Central time.

With all telephone transactions, we will employ reasonable procedures to satisfy ourselves that instructions received from Owners are genuine and, to the extent that we do not, we may be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions. We require Owners to identify themselves through policy numbers, social security numbers and such other information we deem reasonable. We record telephone transfer instruction conversations and we provide Owners with a written confirmation of each telephone transfer.

General Account

The Guaranteed Interest Account, the Fixed Indexed Accounts and the Fixed Loan Account are part of our General Account. Our General Account consists of all assets owned by us other than those in the Variable Account and any other separate accounts which we may establish.

Because of exemptive and exclusionary provisions, interests in our General Account have not been registered as securities under the Securities Act of 1933, and the General Account has not been registered as an investment company under the 1940 Act. However, disclosures regarding the Guaranteed Interest Account, the Fixed Indexed Accounts and the Fixed Loan Account may be subject to certain generally applicable provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in prospectuses.

Interests in the Fixed Indexed Accounts have not been registered with the SEC. Minnesota Life believes that there are sufficient insurance elements and guarantees with respect to interests in the Fixed Indexed Accounts to qualify for an exemption from registration under the federal securities laws under Section 3(a)(8) of the Securities Act of 1933. With respect to the Fixed Indexed Accounts, the Policy is in substantial compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 989J(a)(1) – (3) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

The Guaranteed Interest Account, the Fixed Indexed Accounts and the Fixed Loan Account are those portions of our general assets which are attributable to the Policy and other policies of its class. The description is for accounting purposes only and does not represent a division of our General Account for the specific benefit of policies of this class. Allocations to the Guaranteed Interest Account, the Fixed Indexed Accounts and the Fixed Loan Account become part of our general assets and are used to support insurance and annuity obligations and are subject to the claims of our creditors. Subject to applicable law, we have sole discretion over the investment of assets of the Guaranteed Interest Account, the Fixed Indexed Accounts and the Fixed Loan Account. Policy Owners do not share in the actual investment experience of the assets in our General Account.

Investors look to the financial strength of the insurance company for its insurance guarantees. Guarantees provided by Minnesota Life as to the benefits promised in the contract are subject to the claims paying ability of Minnesota Life and are subject to the risk that Minnesota Life may default on its obligations under those guarantees.

Page 29

You may allocate a portion or all of the Net Premiums or transfer Accumulation Value from the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account to accumulate at a fixed rate of interest in the Guaranteed Interest Account. We guarantee such amounts as to principal and a minimum rate of interest. You may also allocate all of the Net Premiums or transfer Accumulation Value to the Fixed Indexed Accounts. Transfers among and between the Guaranteed Interest Account, the Fixed Indexed Accounts and the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account are subject to certain limitations with respect to timing and amount. These limitations are described under the “Transfers” section of this prospectus.

Guaranteed Interest Account. We bear the full investment risk for amounts allocated to the Guaranteed Interest Account and guarantee that interest credited to each Owner’s Accumulation Value in the Guaranteed Interest Account will not be less than an annual rate of interest of 2 percent without regard to the actual investment experience of the Guaranteed Interest Account. We may, at our sole discretion, credit a higher rate of interest, although we are not obligated to credit interest in excess of 2 percent per year, and may not do so. Any interest credited on the Policy’s Accumulation Value in the Guaranteed Interest Account in excess of the guaranteed minimum interest rate will be determined at our sole discretion. You assume the risk that interest credited may not exceed the guaranteed minimum interest rate.

Fixed Indexed Accounts. Each Fixed Indexed Account is comprised of Segments. A Segment is established when you allocate Net Premium to a Fixed Indexed Account on an Interim Account Transfer Date, transfer Accumulation Value from the Interim Account to a Fixed Indexed Account on an Interim Account Transfer Date or rollover Accumulation Value from a prior Segment to a new Segment. Each Segment has a duration of one year, known as an Index Credit Term.

For Indexed Account A and Indexed Account B, Index refers to Standard & Poor’s 500® Composite Stock Price Index excluding dividends. For Indexed Account G, Index refers to Standard and Poor's 500® Low Volatility Index excluding dividends.

We do not allow additional allocations of Net Premium or Accumulation Value to a Segment during the Index Credit Term and you may not transfer Accumulation Value from a Segment to any other Investment Option under the Policy until the end of an Index Credit Term. At the end of an Index Credit Term, we will automatically transfer your Accumulation Value in the Segment to a new Segment in the same Fixed Indexed Account unless you have instructed us to transfer the Accumulation Value to one or more other Investment Options available under the Policy prior to the end of the Index Credit Term.

We credit interest to your Accumulation Value in each Segment, known as an Index Credit. At the end of an Index Credit Term, we credit an Index Credit based in part on any positive change in the underlying Index, over the Index Credit Term. We do not credit negative interest to Accumulation Value in a Segment, which means that if there is a negative change in the value of underlying Index over the Index Credit Term, we will not reduce your Accumulation Value in that Segment to reflect the negative change in the underlying Index. However, in that case, we will also not credit any Index Credit to your Accumulation Value in the Segment.

Each Segment is subject to a Participation Rate. The Participation Rate is a percentage of a positive change in the underlying Index or the Growth Cap that we use to calculate Index Credits that we credit your Accumulation Value in a Segment.

The Growth Cap is the highest positive percentage change in the value of the underlying Index over an Index Credit Term that we will use in determining the amount of an Index Credit. If the actual positive percentage change in value of the underlying Index over the Index Credit Term is higher than the Growth Cap, we will use the Growth Cap to determine the Index Credit. In that case, we will multiply the Growth Cap by the Participation Rate to determine the Index Credit rate. We will then multiply the

Page 30

Index Credit rate by your Accumulation Value in the Segment at the end of the Index Credit Term to determine the amount of the Index Credit. If the positive percentage change in value of the underlying Index is less than the Growth Cap and more than the Growth Floor, we would use the percentage change in value of the underlying Index to determine the Index Credit rate and Index Credit.

The Growth Cap for new Segments in each Fixed Indexed Account is subject to change at the Company’s discretion, however, once we set the Growth Cap for a Segment, that Growth Cap will not change for the duration of the Index Credit Term. We guarantee that the Growth Cap for Fixed Indexed Account A will not be lower than a 2% annual interest rate, the Growth Cap for Fixed Indexed Account B will not be lower than a 1.43% annual interest rate, and the Growth Cap for Fixed Indexed Account G will be unlimited.

We will notify you in your Annual Report or by other written notice of the Growth Cap and Participation Rate for new Segments beginning after the date of the Annual Report. The Growth Cap and Participation Rate for the Segments of your initial premium are the Growth Caps and Participation Rates in effect as of the Interim Account Transfer Date on or following the effective date of your initial premium.

The way we calculate Index Credits is different from the way Accumulation Value allocated to the Variable Account, such as the SFT Index 500 Fund Sub-Account, is calculated. The SFT Index 500 Fund Sub-Account invests in the SFT Index 500 Fund, whose investment strategy is to invest at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of companies that are included in the S&P 500® Index. Accumulation Value allocated to the SFT Index 500 Fund Sub-Account is valued daily based on the net asset value of the underlying SFT Index 500 Fund. The SFT Index 500 Fund Sub-Account reflects changes in the net asset value of the underlying SFT Index 500 Fund.

Conversely, the Fixed Indexed Accounts are part of the Company’s General Account. Investment of General Account assets is at Minnesota Life’s sole discretion, subject to applicable law and regulation. Index Credits credited to Segments in any of the Fixed Indexed Account are linked to the performance of the underlying Index. We use a one-year point-to-point interest crediting strategy that credits interest based on the percentage change in value of the underlying Index between two points in time over a one year period, the Index Credit Term, or the Growth Cap, subject to a Participation Rate, as described above.

There is no guarantee that any Index Credit will be credited to your Accumulation Value in a Segment at the end of an Index Credit Term.

The Growth Caps and Participation Rates that apply to Accumulation Value in the Fixed Indexed Accounts are shown in the following chart:

Growth Caps	Indexed segment created or resulting from a transfer from a prior segment in:	Indexed Account A	Indexed Account B	Indexed Account G
	XX 2022 and later	6.50%	4.25%	No Limit

Page 31

Participation Rates	Participation rate for indexed segments created or resulting from a transfer from a prior segment in:
	XX 2022 and later	100%	140%	50%
	Guaranteed participation rate	100%	140%	10%

Examples. Set forth below is a set of examples for each Indexed Account option that shows how we calculate Index Credits.

Indexed Account A

For Indexed Account A, Index refers to Standard & Poor’s 500® Composite Stock Price Index excluding dividends. The first example shows how we calculate an Index Credit when the Index increases over the Index Credit Term, but the percentage increase in the Index does not exceed the applicable Growth Cap. The second example shows how we calculate an Index Credit when the Index increases over the Index Credit Term and the percentage increase in the Index is greater than the applicable Growth Cap. The third example shows how we calculate Index Credits when there is a decline in the Index over the Index Credit Term.

Example 1: Applicable Growth Cap Rate Exceeds Percentage Increase for Index

Assumptions:

•

The value of the S&P 500® on the Segment Date is 1,000;

•

The value of the S&P 500® at the end of the Index Credit Term is 1,050;

•

The Growth Cap for the Segment is 9.00%, or 0.09;

•

The Participation Rate for the Segment is 100%; and

•

The Accumulation Value under the Segment at the end of the Index Credit Term is $10,000.

First we determine the rate for calculating the Index Credit. We subtract the value of the S&P 500® on the Segment Date (1,000) from the value of the S&P 500® at the end of the Index Credit Term (1,050). We divide the result (50) by the value of the S&P 500® on the Segment Date (1,000).

(1,050 - 1,000)	=	5.00%
1,000

Second, we multiply the lesser of the result (5.00%) and the Growth Cap (9.00%) by the Participation Rate (100%). In this case, the result is lower than the Growth Cap, so we multiply the result (5.00%) by the Participation Rate (100%) to determine the Index Credit rate (5.00%).

Third, we determine the amount of the Index Credit. We multiply the Index Credit rate (5.00%) by the Accumulation Value under the Segment at the end of the Index Credit Term ($10,000).

5.00% × $10,000

$500

The Segment earned a $500.00 Index Credit. Thus, the Accumulation Value after we credit the Index Credit equals $10,500 ($10,000 + $500).

Page 32

Example 2: Percentage Increase of Index Exceeds Applicable Growth Cap

Assumptions are the same as Example 1, except:

•

The value of the S&P 500® at the end of the Index Credit Term is 1,200.

First, we determine the rate for calculating the Index Credit. We subtract the value of the S&P 500® on the Segment Date (1,000) from the value of the S&P 500® at the end of the Index Credit Term (1,200). We divide the result (200) by the value of the S&P 500® on the Segment Date (1,000).

(1,200 - 1,000)	=	20.00%
1,000

Second, we multiply the lesser of the result (20.00%) and the Growth Cap (9.00%) by the Participation Rate (100%). In this case, the result is higher than the Growth Cap, so we multiply the Growth Cap (9.00%) by the Participation Rate (100%) to determine the Index Credit rate (9.00%).

Third, we determine the amount of the Index Credit. We multiply the Index Credit rate (9.00%) by the Accumulation Value under the Segment at the end of the Index Credit Term ($10,000).

9.00%× $10,000

$900

The Segment earned a $900 Index Credit. Thus, the Accumulation Value after we credit the Index Credit equals $10,900 ($10,000 + $900).

Example 3: Index Declines

Assumptions are the same as Example 1, except:

•

The value of the S&P 500® at the end of the Index Credit Term is 700.

First we determine the rate for calculating the Index Credit.. We subtract the value of the S&P 500® on the Segment Date (1,000) from the value of the S&P 500® at the end of the Index Credit Term (700). We divide the result (-300) by the value of the S&P 500® on the Segment Date (1,000).

(700 - 1,000)	=	-30.00%
1,000

Since the Index Credit cannot be less than zero, a 0% Index Credit rate is used.

The Segment earned a $0 Index Credit. Thus, the Accumulation Value after we calculate the amount of the Index Credit equals $10,000 ($10,000 + $0).

Indexed Account B

For Indexed Account B, Index refers to Standard & Poor’s 500® Composite Stock Price Index excluding dividends. The first example shows how we calculate an Index Credit when the Index increases over the Index Credit Term, but the percentage increase in the Index does not exceed the applicable Growth Cap. The second example shows how we calculate an Index Credit when the Index increases over the Index Credit Term and the percentage increase in the Index is greater than the applicable Growth Cap. The third example shows how we calculate Index Credits when there is a decline in the Index over the Index Credit Term.

Page 33

Example 1: Applicable Growth Cap Rate Exceeds Percentage Increase for Index

Assumptions:

•

The value of the S&P 500® on the Segment Date is 1,000;

•

The value of the S&P 500® at the end of the Index Credit Term is 1,050;

•

The Growth Cap for the Segment is 6.00%, or 0.06;

•

The Participation Rate for the Segment is 140%; and

•

The Accumulation Value under the Segment at the end of the Index Credit Term is $10,000.

First, we determine the rate for calculating the Index Credit. We subtract the value of the S&P 500® on the Segment Date (1,000) from the value of the S&P 500® at the end of the Index Credit Term (1,050). We divide the result (50) by the value of the S&P 500® on the Segment Date (1,000).

(1,050 - 1,000)	=	5.00%
1,000

Second, we multiply the lesser of the result (5.00%) and the Growth Cap (6.00%) by the Participation Rate (140%). In this case, the result is lower than the Growth Cap, so we multiply the result (5.00%) by the Participation Rate (140%) to determine the Index Credit rate (7.00%).

Third, we determine the amount of the Index Credit. We multiply the Index Credit rate (7.00%) by the Accumulation Value under the Segment at the end of the Index Credit Term ($10,000).

7.00% × $10,000

$700

The Segment earned a $700.00 Index Credit. Thus, the Accumulation Value after we credit the Index Credit equals $10,700 ($10,000 + $700).

Example 2: Percentage Increase of Index Exceeds Applicable Growth Cap

Assumptions are the same as Example 1, except:

•

The value of the S&P 500® at the end of the Index Credit Term is 1,200.

First, we determine the rate for calculating the Index Credit.. We subtract the value of the S&P 500® on the Segment Date (1,000) from the value of the S&P 500® at the end of the Index Credit Term (1,200). We divide the result (200) by the value of the S&P 500® on the Segment Date (1,000).

(1,200 - 1,000)	=	20.00%
1,000

Second, we multiply the lesser of the result (20.00%) and the Growth Cap (6.00%) by the Participation Rate (140%). In this case, the result is higher than the Growth Cap, so we multiply the Growth Cap (6.00%) by the Participation Rate (140%) to determine the Index Credit rate (8.40%).

Third, we determine the amount of the Index Credit. We multiply the Index Credit rate (8.40%) by the Accumulation Value under the Segment at the end of the Index Credit Term ($10,000).

8.40% × $10,000

$840

The Segment earned an $840 Index Credit. Thus, the Accumulation Value after we credit the Index Credit equals $10,840 ($10,000 + $840).

Page 34

Example 3: Index Declines

Assumptions are the same as Example 1, except:

•

The value of the S&P 500® at the end of the Index Credit Term is 700.

First we determine the rate for calculating the Index Credit. We subtract the value of the S&P 500® on the Segment Date (1,000) from the value of the S&P 500® at the end of the Index Credit Term (700). We divide the result (-300) by the value of the S&P 500® on the Segment Date (1,000).

(700 - 1,000)	=	-30.00%
1,000

Since the Index Credit cannot be less than zero, a 0% Index Credit rate is used.

The Segment earned a $0 Index Credit. Thus, the Accumulation Value after we calculate the amount of the Index Credit equals $10,000 ($10,000 + $0).

Indexed Account G

For Indexed Account G, Index refers to Standard and Poor's 500® Low Volatility Index excluding dividends. The first example shows how we calculate an Index Credit when the Index increases over the Index Credit Term and the Segment is not subject to a Growth Cap. The second example shows how we calculate an Index Credit when the Index decreases over the Index Credit Term.

Example 1: Index Increases Over the Index Credit Term

Assumptions:

•

The value of the S&P 500 Low Vol. on the Segment Date is 1,000;

•

The value of the S&P 500 Low Vol. at the end of the Index Credit Term is 1,050;

•

The Growth Cap for the Segment is unlimited;

•

The Participation Rate for the Segment is 85%; and

•

The Accumulation Value under the Segment at the end of the Index Credit Term is $10,000.

First we determine the rate for calculating the Index Credit. We subtract the value of the S&P 500 Low. Vol on the Segment Date (1,000) from the value of the S&P 500 Low Vol. at the end of the Index Credit Term (1,050). We divide the result (50) by the value of the S&P 500 Low Vol. on the Segment Date (1,000).

(1,050 - 1,000)	=	5.00%
1,000

Second, we multiply the result (5.00%) by the Participation Rate (85%) to determine the Index Credit rate (4.25%). As the Growth Cap is unlimited in this case, it does not impact the Index Credit Rate.

Third, we determine the amount of the Index Credit. We multiply the Index Credit rate (4.25%) by the Accumulation Value under the Segment at the end of the Index Credit Term ($10,000).

4.25% × $10,000

$425

The Segment earned a $425.00 Index Credit. Thus, the Accumulation Value after we credit the Index Credit equals $10,425 ($10,000 + $425).

Page 35

Example 2: Index Decreases Over the Index Credit Term

Assumptions are the same as Example 1, except:

•

The value of the S&P 500 Low Vol. at the end of the Index Credit Term is 700.

First we determine the rate for calculating the Index Credit. We subtract the value of the S&P 500 Low Vol. on the Segment Date (1,000) from the value of the S&P 500 Low Vol. at the end of the Index Credit Term (700). We divide the result (-300) by the value of the S&P 500 Low Vol. on the Segment Date (1,000).

(700 - 1,000)	=	-30.00%
1,000

Since the Index Credit cannot be less than zero, a 0% Index Credit rate is used.

The Segment earned a $0 Index Credit. Thus, the Accumulation Value after we calculate the amount of the Index Credit equals $10,000 ($10,000 + $0).

Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Value. The Policy has a guaranteed minimum Accumulation Value that is available upon Termination or surrender of the Policy, the second death, or maturity. We calculate the guaranteed minimum Accumulation Value for the Policy by reflecting all increases and decreases for each Fixed Indexed Account, the Interim Account, and the Guaranteed Interest Account, using the guaranteed interest rate, on a daily basis at a minimum annual rate of interest of 2%. Deductions for current monthly Policy charges will reduce the guaranteed minimum Accumulation Value. In addition, partial surrenders from and transfers of Accumulation Value out of the Guaranteed Interest Account, Interim Account and Fixed Indexed Account options will reduce the guaranteed minimum Accumulation Value. A partial surrender of Accumulation Value from the Guaranteed Interest Account, Interim Account or Fixed Indexed Account options will reduce the guaranteed minimum Accumulation Value by the amount withdrawn. Likewise, a transfer of Accumulation Value out of the Guaranteed Interest Account, Interim Account or Fixed Indexed Account options will reduce the guaranteed minimum Accumulation Value by the amount transferred.

We will assess the Partial Surrender Transaction Charge and the Transfer Transaction Charge against the Policy’s Accumulation Value in the same order as we assess other charges against Accumulation Value. This means that the guaranteed minimum Accumulation Value will only be affected by the Partial Surrender Transaction Charge and the Transfer Transaction Charge if the transfer occurs from the Guaranteed Interest Account, Interim Account or Fixed Indexed Account options. See “Deduction of Accumulation Value Charges.”

We use the guaranteed minimum Accumulation Value to calculate the Death Benefit payable upon the second death, any amount payable upon Surrender of the Policy, and upon Termination or maturity where the guaranteed minimum Accumulation Value exceeds the Accumulation Value under the Guaranteed Interest Account, Interim Account or Fixed Indexed Account options. For purposes of calculating the Death Benefit or Surrender Value or amount payable upon Termination or maturity, we compare the guaranteed minimum Accumulation Value for the Guaranteed Interest Account, Interim Account and Fixed Indexed Account options against the Accumulation Value in each of those Accounts. Where the guaranteed minimum Accumulation Value exceeds the Accumulation Value in the investment option at the date of the second death, surrender, Termination or maturity of the Policy, we use the guaranteed minimum Accumulation Value to calculate the Death Benefit payable, Surrender Value of the Policy or amount payable upon Termination or maturity. Conversely, where the guaranteed minimum Accumulation Value is less than the Accumulation Value in the Guaranteed Interest Account, Interim Account or Fixed Indexed Account options, we will use the Accumulation Value to calculate the Death

Page 36

Benefit payable, Surrender Value of the Policy or amount payable upon Termination or maturity. We will not use the guaranteed minimum Accumulation Value to calculate any other values under the Policy, including amounts available for policy loan or partial surrender.

The guaranteed minimum Accumulation Value will not extend the time your Policy remains in force in the event of Policy Termination. In that event, we will send you the remaining guaranteed minimum Accumulation Value, less any outstanding Policy loan, Policy Loan Interest due, and any surrender charge that may apply, in the form of cash. If the guaranteed minimum Accumulation Value for the Guaranteed Interest Account, Interim Account or Fixed Indexed Account is less than the Accumulation Value for that option, we will not pay you any amount for that General Account option upon Termination of the Policy. The amount of cash you will receive upon Policy Termination will be the sum of the excess of the guaranteed minimum Accumulation Value over the Accumulation Value for each of the Guaranteed Interest Account, Interim Account and Fixed Indexed Account options.

Example: The example below compares the calculation of the guaranteed minimum Accumulation Value and the Accumulation Value under Fixed Indexed Account A over a five year period.

Year	Fixed Indexed Account Information
	Participation Rate: Growth Cap		100% 9%	(assumed constant over 5 year period)
	Annual Increase in External Index	Growth Cap	Segment Growth Rate	Accumulation Value Before Index Credit	Index Credit	Accumulation Value After Index Credit	Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Value (using 2% Interest Credit)	Greater of Fixed Indexed Account and Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Value
1	-10%	9%	-10.00%	880	-	880	899	899
2	-15%	9%	-15.00%	1,760	-	1,760	1,815	1,815
3	7%	9%	7.00%	2,640	185	2,825	2,750	2,825
4	16%	9%	9.00%	3,705	333	4,038	3,704	4,038
5	20%	9%	9.00%	4,918	443	5,361	4,677	5,361

Under the above example, if the second death were to occur or the Owner were to surrender the Policy in the first two years, we would use the guaranteed minimum Accumulation Value to calculate the Death Benefit payable or Surrender Value of the Policy since in each of those years the guaranteed minimum Accumulation Value would exceed the Accumulation Value in Fixed Indexed Account A. We would also use the guaranteed minimum Accumulation Value to calculate the Death Benefit payable or Surrender Value of the Policy in the third year prior to the end of the Index Credit Term since the guaranteed minimum Accumulation Value would also exceed the Accumulation Value in Fixed Indexed Account A up to that point. Remember, we credit Index Credits only at the end of the Index Credit Term. After the end of the Index Credit Term in year three and for years four and five, the Accumulation Value in Fixed Indexed Account A would exceed the guaranteed minimum Accumulation Value. For those years, we would use the Accumulation Value in Fixed Indexed Account A to calculate the Death Benefit payable or Surrender Value of the Policy.

The example below shows the impact on both the guaranteed minimum Accumulation Value and the Accumulation Value under the Fixed Indexed Accounts when a partial surrender is requested.

Example. In this example, a partial surrender is taken at the end of the second year where all of the Fixed Indexed Account Accumulation Value is withdrawn in the partial surrender of the Policy. This may occur only if there is sufficient Accumulation Value in the other Accounts to prevent the Policy from terminating. Since our policy is to take the partial surrender transaction charge from the remaining Accounts in the order specified for Accumulation Value Charges, the charge is ignored for purposes of

Page 37

this example. Using the values in the prior example shown above, if all of the Fixed Indexed Account Accumulation Value of $1,760 is surrendered, the Fixed Indexed Account Accumulation Value will equal $0 and the guaranteed minimum Accumulation Value related to the Fixed Indexed Accounts will equal $55 ($1,815 of guaranteed minimum Accumulation Value less $1,760 of Accumulation Value withdrawn). Assuming at least one other Account has sufficient Accumulation Value to prevent the Policy from terminating, we will continue to credit interest at the guaranteed minimum rate on the remaining guaranteed minimum Accumulation Value related to the Fixed Indexed Accounts of $55 while the Policy remains in force. We will use the Fixed Indexed Account guaranteed minimum Accumulation Value of $55 plus accrued interest at the guaranteed minimum rate, as well as any additional guaranteed minimum Accumulation Value related to the Guaranteed Interest or the Interim Accounts, to compute surrender proceeds if the Policy is surrendered, to pay You in cash if the Policy terminates or to calculate the Death Benefit upon the second death.

Example. In the following example we illustrate the impact of the guaranteed minimum Accumulation Value when the Policy terminates. This example assumes the Policy Owner has allocated amounts to both the Guaranteed Interest Account and one or both of the Fixed Indexed Accounts while the Policy was in force, there are no outstanding Policy loans and no Surrender charges apply. The Policy terminates with the following Accumulation Value and guaranteed minimum Accumulation Value for the Guaranteed Interest Account and the Fixed Indexed Accounts:

Account	Accumulation Value	Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Value
Guaranteed Interest Account	$0	$0
Fixed Indexed Accounts	$0	$55
Total	$0	$55

Since the Policy Accumulation Value of $0 is insufficient to pay the next monthly Policy charges, the Policy will terminate. When this occurs, we will send the Policy Owner a check for the total amount of the guaranteed minimum Accumulation Value, or $55. Since there are no outstanding Policy loans, no Policy Loan Interest is due, and no surrender charges apply, the Policy Owner would receive the entire $55 in the form of cash.

Fixed Loan Account Value. We bear the full investment risk for amounts allocated to the Fixed Loan Account. The Fixed Loan Account Accumulation Value is the sum of all fixed interest rate policy loans, less all fixed interest rate policy loan repayments. This amount will be increased by any Fixed Loan Account interest and reduced by any Fixed Loan Account interest allocated to the Guaranteed Interest Account, the Fixed Indexed Accounts or the Variable Account. The Fixed Loan Account Accumulation Value will be credited daily with an annual rate of interest of not less than 4 percent. Any interest credited on the Policy’s Accumulation Value in the Fixed Loan Account in excess of the guaranteed minimum rate will be determined at our sole discretion. You assume the risk that interest credited may not exceed the guaranteed minimum rate.

Separate Account Changes

We reserve the right to add, combine or remove any Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account and to transfer the assets of one or more Sub-Accounts to any other Sub-Account as permitted by law. Each additional Sub-Account will purchase shares in a new Portfolio or mutual fund. Such Sub-Accounts may be established when, in our sole discretion, marketing, tax, investment or other conditions warrant such action. We will use similar considerations should there be a determination to eliminate one or more of the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account. New investment options will be made available to existing Policy Owners as we determine in our sole discretion.

Page 38

We retain the right, subject to any applicable law, to make substitutions with respect to the investments of the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account. If investment in a Fund Portfolio should no longer be possible or if we determine it becomes inappropriate for Policies of this class, we may substitute another mutual fund or Portfolio for a Sub-Account. Substitution may be made with respect to existing Accumulation Values and future premium payments. A substitution may be made only with any necessary approval of the SEC.

In the event of a Fund merger, any future premium payments will be allocated to the successor or acquiring Fund. In the event of the liquidation of a Fund, you will be required to provide a new allocation to one of the available accounts for future premium payments at the time of the request. If you do not reallocate these amounts, we will reallocate such amounts only in accordance with SEC pronouncements and only after obtaining an order from the SEC, if required. The substituted Fund may have different fees and expenses. Substitution may be made with respect to existing investments or the investment of future premium payments, or both. However, we will not make such substitution without any required approval of the SEC and any applicable state insurance departments. We do not control the underlying mutual funds, so we cannot guarantee that any of those funds will always be available.

We reserve the right to transfer assets of the Variable Account as determined by us to be associated with the Policies to another separate account. A transfer of this kind may require the approvals of state regulatory authorities and the SEC.

We also reserve the right, when permitted by law, to de-register the Variable Account under the 1940 Act, to restrict or eliminate any voting rights of the Policy Owners, to combine the Variable Account with one or more of our other separate accounts, operate the Variable Account or a Sub-Account as either a unit investment trust or management company under the 1940 Act, or in any other form allowed by law, terminate and/or liquidate the Variable Account, and make any changes to the Variable Account to conform with, or required by any change in, federal tax law, the 1940 Act and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any applicable federal or state laws.

The Funds serve as the underlying investment medium for amounts invested in life insurance company separate accounts funding both variable life insurance policies and variable annuity contracts issued by Minnesota Life and by other affiliated and unaffiliated life insurance companies, and as investment medium to fund plan benefits for participating qualified plans. It is possible that there may be circumstances where it is disadvantageous for either: (i) the Owners of variable life insurance policies and variable annuity contracts to invest in one of the Funds at the same time, (ii) the Owners of such policies and contracts issued by different life insurance companies to invest in one of the Funds at the same time, or (iii) participating qualified plans to invest in shares of one of the Funds at the same time as one or more life insurance companies. Neither the Funds nor Minnesota Life currently foresees any disadvantage, but if one of the Funds determines that there is any such disadvantage due to a material conflict of interest between such Policy Owners and contract Owners, or between different life insurance companies, or between participating qualified plans and one or more life insurance companies, or for any other reason, the Fund’s board of directors will notify the life insurance companies and participating qualified plans of such conflict of interest or other applicable event. In that event, the life insurance companies or participating qualified plans may be required to sell the applicable Funds’ shares with respect to certain groups of Policy Owners or contract Owners, or certain participants in participating qualified plans, in order to resolve any conflict. The life insurance companies and participating qualified plans will bear the entire cost of resolving any material conflict of interest.

Market-Timing and Disruptive Trading

This Policy is not designed to be used as a vehicle for frequent trading (i.e., frequent transfers) in response to short-term fluctuations in the securities markets, often referred to as “market-timing.” Market-timing activity and frequent trading in your Policy can disrupt the efficient management of the underlying Portfolios and their investment strategies, dilute the value of Portfolio shares held by long term shareholders, and increase Portfolio expenses (including brokerage or other trading costs) for all Portfolio shareholders, including long term Policy Owners invested in affected Portfolios who do not generate such expenses. It is our policy to discourage market-timing and frequent transfer activity, and, when we become aware of such activity, to take steps to attempt to minimize the effect of frequent trading activity on affected Portfolios. You should not purchase this Policy if you intend to engage in market-timing or frequent transfer activity.

We have developed policies and procedures to detect and deter market-timing and other frequent transfers, and we will not knowingly accommodate or create exceptions for Policy Owners engaging in such activity. We employ various means to attempt to detect and deter market-timing or other abusive transfers. However, our monitoring may not be able to detect all harmful trading nor can we ensure that the underlying Portfolios will not suffer disruptions or increased expenses attributable to market-timing or abusive transfers resulting from other insurance carriers which invest in the same Portfolios. In addition, because our policies and procedures are discretionary, it is possible that some Policy Owners may engage in market-timing and other frequent transfer activity while others may bear the harm associated with such activity. Moreover, because market-timing can only be detected after it has occurred to some extent, our policies to stop market-timing activity do not go into effect until after we have identified such activity.

We reserve the right to restrict the frequency of or otherwise modify, condition or terminate any transfer method(s). Your transfer privilege is also subject to modification if we determine that, in our sole discretion, the exercise of the transfer privilege by one or more Policy Owners is or would be to the disadvantage of other Policy Owners. Any new restriction that we would impose will apply to your Policy without regard to when you purchased it. We also reserve the right to implement, administer, and charge you for any fees or restrictions, including redemption fees that may be imposed by a Portfolio attributable to transfers in your Policy. One or more of the following factors will be considered in determining whether to implement and administer any restrictions and assess any fees:

•

the dollar amount of the transfer(s);

•

whether the transfers are part of a pattern of transfers that appears designed to take advantage of market inefficiencies;

•

whether a Portfolio has requested that we look into identified unusual or frequent activity in the Portfolio;

•

the number of transfers in the previous calendar quarter; and

•

whether the transfers during a quarter constitute more than two “round trips” in a particular Portfolio. A round trip is a purchase into a Portfolio and a subsequent redemption out of the Portfolio, without regard to order.

In the event your transfer activity is identified as disruptive or otherwise constitutes a pattern of market-timing, you will be notified in writing that your transfer privileges will be restricted in the future if the activity continues. Upon our detecting further prohibited activity, you will be notified in writing

Page 40

that your transfer privileges are limited to transfer requests delivered via regular U.S. mail only and may require your signature. No fax, voice, internet, courier or express delivery requests will be accepted. The limitations for the transfer privileges in your Policy will be permanent.

In our sole discretion, we may revise our policies and procedures to detect and deter market-timing and other frequent trading activity at any time without prior notice.

In addition to our market-timing procedures, the underlying Portfolios may have their own market- timing policies and restrictions. While we reserve the right to enforce the Portfolios’ policies and procedures, Policy Owners and other persons with interests under the policies should be aware that we may not have the contractual authority or the operational capacity to apply the market-timing policies and procedures of the Portfolios, except that, under SEC rules, we are required to: (1) enter into a written agreement with each Portfolio or its principal underwriter that obligates us to provide the Portfolio promptly upon request certain information about the trading activity of individual Policy Owners, and (2) execute instructions from the Portfolio to restrict or prohibit further purchases or transfers by specific Policy Owners who violate the market-timing policies established by the Portfolios.

In addition, the Funds may restrict the purchase of their shares in order to protect shareholders. In such case, if you request a transfer to a Sub-Account(s) that invests in a Fund that has restricted the purchase of its shares, we will not redeem Accumulation Value from the Sub-Account(s) from which the transfer would have otherwise been made, unless you submit a new request for transfer to our Home Office designating a new Sub-Account(s) to which the transfer should be made.

Premiums

Policy Premiums

The amount of the Initial Minimum Premium will depend on the Policy’s Initial Face Amount, the Death Benefit option, each insured’s Age at issue, gender, Risk Classification and any additional benefit Agreements chosen. The Initial Minimum Premium is due as of the Policy Date and must be paid on or before the date your Policy is delivered. Between the date we receive the Initial Minimum Premium for the Policy and the date insurance coverage commences under the Policy, the lives of the insureds may be covered under the terms of a temporary insurance Agreement. You may request temporary insurance coverage at the time of Application in an amount up to the lesser of your Death Benefit and $250,000. In order to receive such coverage, you must meet certain insurability requirements at the date of Application, complete the Application and pay the Initial Minimum Premium. You may call or write us at our Home Office to obtain additional information regarding coverage under a temporary insurance Agreement or the Application of your Initial Minimum Premium.

All premiums after the Initial Minimum Premium should be mailed to us at our Home Office. You may also elect to have premiums paid monthly under our automatic payment plan through pre-authorized transfers from your account at a bank or other financial institution, or if you meet the requirements to establish a group billing plan through your employer. You may make an online payment to pay a premium that is due through our online servicing site at www.securian.com/myaccount.

Any premium payment after the Initial Minimum Premium must be at least $50. You may pay premiums at any time. We reserve the right to require evidence of insurability satisfactory to us of the insurability of both insureds for any premium payment that would result in an immediate increase in the Net Amount at Risk under the Policy.

Page 41

When you apply for a Policy, you may elect to pay a Planned Premium which is shown on the policy data pages. We will send you a notice for the Planned Premium at the frequency shown on the policy data pages. You may request that we send you notices once a year, twice a year or four times a year. The amount of the Planned Premium and frequency you have chosen will be identified on the notice. You may change the amount and frequency of your Planned Premium payment at any time by Written Request. Payment of a Planned Premium does not guarantee that the Policy will remain in force.

You may also pay your Planned Premium using the Premium Deposit Account Agreement. Under the Premium Deposit Account Agreement, you can make up to three payments that will be held in a Premium Deposit Account, a part of our General Account, and use those payments and interest credited on those payments to pay your Planned Premiums for up to ten years from the date of the payment. We will credit an annual rate of interest at least equal to a minimum annual rate of interest of 0.50% (the “PDA Minimum Rate”) on each payment to the Premium Deposit Account. The PDA Minimum Rate will be in effect for the duration the payment remains in the Premium Deposit Account. In our sole discretion, we may credit an annual rate of interest higher than the PDA Minimum Rate on a payment to the Premium Deposit Account. We will send you a confirmation for each deposit you make to the Premium Deposit Account. The confirmation will indicate the annual rate of interest that is in effect for that deposit. For more information about the Premium Deposit Account Agreement see “Supplemental Agreements — Premium Deposit Account Agreement.”

We intend that this Policy will qualify as a life insurance policy as defined by Code Section 7702. In order to maintain such qualification, we reserve the right to increase the amount of insurance on the insureds, to return any excess Accumulation Value or premium, to hold premium until the Policy Date or Policy Anniversary, or to limit the amount of premium we will accept. There may be tax consequences to you if we must return part of the Accumulation Value in order to maintain the Policy’s status as life insurance. See “Federal Tax Status.” In the event the Death Benefit is increased to maintain qualification as a life insurance policy, we may make appropriate adjustments to any monthly charges or supplemental benefits that are consistent with the increase in the Death Benefit.

Unless you have specified otherwise in writing, we will not accept a premium payment to the extent that it would cause your Policy to fail the life insurance qualification test or become a MEC. See “Federal Tax Status.” In rare situations, if we receive and allocate the Net Premium prior to the Policy’s anniversary date, your Policy could fail to qualify as life insurance or become a MEC. In that event, unless you have specified otherwise in writing, to prevent your Policy from failing to qualify as life insurance or becoming a MEC, we will hold your premium in a non-interest bearing account until its anniversary date. On the day following the anniversary date, we will allocate the Net Premium to the Guaranteed Interest Account, the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account, the Interim Account or the Fixed Indexed Accounts if the allocation takes place on an Interim Account Transfer Date according to your instructions.

We assess a Premium Charge against each premium payment. The premium less the Premium Charge results in the Net Premium. Net Premiums are allocated to the Guaranteed Interest Account, Interim Account, Fixed Indexed Accounts, or Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account which Sub-Accounts, in turn, invest in shares of the Portfolios.

You must designate the allocation of Net Premiums on your Application for the Policy. You may change your allocation instructions for future premium payments by forwarding to us a signed Written Request in Good Order, or by calling us at 1-844-208-2412 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Central time, our regular business hours, via facsimile (fax) at 651-665-6955. We treat requests to change your allocation instructions made via telephone, facsimile (fax) received after the call or transmission ends

Page 42

and we receive the request in Good Order. The allocation of Net Premiums to the Guaranteed Interest Account, Interim Account, Fixed Indexed Accounts, or to any Sub-Account of the Variable Account must be in multiples of 1 percent of the Net Premium.

We reserve the right to delay the allocation of Net Premiums to the Sub-Accounts you designated for a period of up to 30 days after issuance of the Policy or after a policy change. In no event will any such delay extend beyond the Free Look Period that applies in the state in which the Policy is issued. If we exercise this right, we will allocate Net Premiums to the Guaranteed Interest Account until the end of the Free Look Period. This right, which as of the date of the prospectus has not been implemented, will be exercised by us only when we believe economic conditions make such an allocation necessary to reduce our market risk during the Free Look Period.

If you choose to allocate premium to the Guaranteed Interest Account, we will allocate an amount of the Net Premium, based on the percentage you have chosen, to that Account on the date the premium is received.

If you choose to allocate Net Premium to the Fixed Indexed Accounts, we will allocate the amount of the Net Premium, based on the percentages you have chosen, to the Interim Account on the date the premium is received if the date we receive the premium is not an Interim Account Transfer Date. On the next Interim Account Transfer Date, your Accumulation Value in the Interim Account will be transferred to the Fixed Indexed Accounts according to your current allocation instructions. If we receive your premium payment on an Interim Account Transfer Date, we will allocate the amount of the Net Premium, based on the percentages you have chosen, directly to the Fixed Indexed Accounts.

If mandated under applicable law, we may reject a premium. We reserve the right to refuse a premium payment if appropriate under our policies related to anti-money laundering or stranger owned life insurance policies. This means that if we exercise these rights, you will be required to comply with our anti-money laundering or stranger owned life insurance policies before we will accept additional premium payments from you. We will continue to take all Policy charges applicable to the Policy and optional Agreements from the Policy Accumulation Value, which may result in your Policy terminating. You should consider these premium payment limitations, and all other limitations in this Policy, and how they may impact your long-term financial plans, especially since this Policy provides a Death Benefit that will only be payable if the Policy is still in force at the second death.

If we exercise these rights, there will be no impact to premium payments received prior to the effective date of the limitation. In addition, Policy Accumulation Value and optional Agreements will not be affected by the restriction, but Policy charges will continue to apply. We will apply these limitations in a non-discriminatory manner. See “Termination” and “Policy Charges.” We may also provide information about an Owner and an Owner’s account to government regulators.

We reserve the right in our sole discretion to restrict, including eliminate altogether, the allocation of Net Premium and transfer of Accumulation Value to the Guaranteed Interest Account and Fixed Indexed Accounts.

Sub-Account Allocation

We do not restrict your allocation of Net Premium among the Sub-Accounts. However, if your policy is issued with the NLG Agreement, the percentage of any Net Premiums allocated to any variable Sub-Account may be limited to the maximum variable Sub-Account percentage. Please see Appendix A.

Page 43

Accumulation Value

Your Policy’s Accumulation Value equals your investment in the Guaranteed Interest Account, the Interim Account, the Fixed Indexed Accounts and the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account, plus any collateral held in the Fixed Loan Account for any loans you have taken. The Accumulation Value of the Policy varies with the interest crediting experience of the Guaranteed Interest Account, Interim Account, Fixed Indexed Accounts, and Fixed Loan Account, and the investment experience of the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account.

Unlike a traditional fixed benefit life insurance policy, your Policy’s Accumulation Value cannot be determined in advance, even if you pay premiums as planned, because the Accumulation Value of the Variable Account varies daily with the investment performance of the Sub-Accounts and the Accumulation Value of the Fixed Indexed Accounts depends at least in part on positive changes in value of the S&P 500® Index over Segment Terms. Even if you continue to pay premiums as planned, your Accumulation Value in the Variable Account could decline to zero because of unfavorable investment experience and the assessment of charges.

Upon request, we will tell you the Accumulation Value of your Policy. We will also send to you a report each year on the Policy Anniversary advising you of your Policy’s Accumulation Value, the Face Amount and the Death Benefit as of the date of the report. It will also summarize your Policy transactions during the year. The information will be current as of a date within two months of its mailing. You may also access information regarding your Policy’s Accumulation Value through our online servicing site at www.securian.com/myaccount.

Variable Account Accumulation Value. The Accumulation Value of your Policy in the Variable Account is not guaranteed. We determine your Policy’s Variable Account Accumulation Value by multiplying the current number of Sub-Account Units for each Sub-Account in which you are invested by the current Sub-Account Unit Value for that Sub-Account and adding those values together. A Sub-Account Unit is a measure of your Policy’s interest in a Sub-Account. The number of Units credited with respect to each Net Premium payment is determined by dividing the portion of the Net Premium payment allocated to each Sub-Account by the then current Unit Value for that Sub-Account. The number of Units credited is determined as of the end of the Valuation Date on which we receive your premium payment at our Home Office in Good Order.

Once determined, the number of Units credited to your Policy will not be affected by changes in Sub-Account Unit Values. However, the number of Units in a Sub-Account will be increased by the allocation of subsequent Net Premiums, fixed interest rate loan repayments, transfers and Fixed Loan Account interest to the Sub-Account. The number of Units will be decreased by policy charges, fixed interest rate policy loans, transfers and partial surrenders from the Sub-Account. The number of Units in a Sub-Account will decrease to zero if the Policy is surrendered or terminated.

The Unit Value of a Sub-Account will be determined on each Valuation Date. The amount of any increase or decrease will depend on the net investment experience of the Sub-Account. The value of a Unit for each Sub-Account was originally set at $1.00 on the first Valuation Date. For any subsequent Valuation Date, its value is equal to its value on the preceding Valuation Date multiplied by the net investment factor for that Sub-Account for the valuation period ending on the subsequent Valuation Date.

Page 44

The net investment factor is a measure of the net investment experience of a Sub-Account. The net investment factor for a valuation period is: the gross investment rate for such valuation period, plus any Unit Value Credit under the Policy. We determine periodically whether Unit Value Credits apply. Unit Value Credits are not guaranteed. For any period we apply a Unit Value Credit, we will apply the credit each day when we calculate the Unit Value for the Sub-Account.

The gross investment rate is equal to:

the net asset value per share of a Fund share held in the Sub-Account of the Variable Account determined at the end of the current valuation period; plus

the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distributions by the Fund if the “ex-dividend” date occurs during the current valuation period; with the sum divided by

the net asset value per share of that Fund share held in the Sub-Account determined at the end of the preceding valuation period.

The table below identifies the annual Unit Value Credit that we may, in our sole discretion, apply to each Sub-Account of the Variable Account. The annual Unit Value Credit is expressed as a percentage of average annual Portfolio assets held by the Sub-Account. The amount of the Unit Value Credit we may apply varies among Sub-Accounts and some Sub-Accounts may receive larger Unit Value Credits than other Sub-Accounts. Some Sub-Accounts are not eligible for a Unit Value Credit. Our payment of Unit Value Credits may be discontinued at any time.

We determine the value of the Units in each Sub-Account on each day on which the corresponding Portfolio values its shares. In general, the net asset value of each Portfolio’s shares is computed once daily as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (typically 3:00 p.m. Central time).

Some investment advisers to the Funds or their affiliates have an agreement with us or our affiliates to pay us or our affiliates for administrative, recordkeeping and shareholder services we provide to the Funds’ Portfolios. We or our affiliates may also receive payments from the Funds, their investment advisers or principal underwriters to reimburse us for the costs of certain distribution or operational services that we perform and that benefit the Funds’ Portfolios. See “Payments Made by Underlying Mutual Funds.” The Unit Value Credit represents a portion of or all of these amounts that we or our affiliates may receive that we may, in our sole discretion, apply to the Sub-Accounts that invest in the Funds’ Portfolios. We will only provide Unit Value Credits to a Sub-Account where the corresponding Portfolio, the investment adviser of that Portfolio or their affiliates compensate us or our affiliates for providing such services. Our decision to provide Unit Value Credits to certain Sub-Accounts depends upon a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the level of assets held in the Guaranteed Interest Account, prevailing market interest rates, and anticipated future expenses and anticipated future revenues from variable contract operation. From time to time some of these arrangements may be renegotiated so that we receive a different payment than previously paid. These fee arrangements do not result in any additional charges to Owners.

All Unit Value Credits and any gains or losses attributable to such amounts are treated as earnings under the Policy for tax purposes.

Page 47

Guaranteed Interest Account Accumulation Value. The Guaranteed Interest Account Accumulation Value of your Policy equals the sum of the following:

•

the Net Premiums you allocate to the Guaranteed Interest Account;

•

plus, any interest credited thereto, any fixed loan repayments, any transfers of Accumulation Value from the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account and from Segments of the Fixed Indexed Accounts and any allocation of Fixed Loan Account interest; and

•

less, any fixed interest rate policy loans, partial surrenders, transfers of Accumulation Value to the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account and Segments of the Fixed Indexed Accounts and policy charges.

We credit interest to the Guaranteed Interest Account Accumulation Value daily at an annual rate of interest of not less than 2 percent. We may at our sole discretion, credit interest at a higher rate.

Fixed Indexed Account Accumulation Value. The Fixed Indexed Account Accumulation Value of your Policy equals the sum of the Accumulation Value of all Segments in the Fixed Indexed Accounts. The value of a Segment on any day after the Segment Date is equal to:

•

the value of the Segment as of the prior day; plus

•

the amount of any Index Credits applied on the Segment since the prior day; minus

•

the amount of any applicable partial surrender amount since the prior day; minus

•

the amount of any charges assessed against the Fixed Indexed Account since the prior day; minus

•

the amount of any transfer or policy loan from the Fixed Indexed Account since the prior day.

Fixed Loan Account Accumulation Value. The Fixed Loan Account Accumulation Value of your Policy equals the sum of the following:

•

all fixed interest rate policy loans less all fixed interest rate policy loan repayments;

•

plus, any Fixed Loan Account interest; and

•

less, any Fixed Loan Account interest allocated to the Guaranteed Interest Account, Fixed Indexed Accounts or Variable Account.

We credit interest on the Fixed Loan Account Accumulation Value daily at an annual rate of interest of not less than 4 percent. We may, at our sole discretion, credit interest at a higher rate.

Interim Account Accumulation Value. The Interim Account Accumulation Value of your Policy on any day equals the sum of the following:

•

the Interim Account Accumulation Value as of the prior day; plus

•

interest earned on Accumulation Value held in the Interim Account since the prior day; plus

•

the amount of any Net Premiums allocated to the Interim Account since the prior day; plus

•

any fixed interest rate policy loan repayment since the prior day; minus

•

the amount of any charges assessed against the Interim Account since the prior day; minus

•

the amount of any transfer from the Interim Account since the prior day; minus

•

any applicable partial surrenders since the prior day.

Page 48

We credit interest on Interim Account Accumulation Value at an annual rate of interest of not less than 2 percent. We may, at our sole discretion, credit interest at a higher rate.

Standard Death Benefits

Death Benefit Proceeds

As long as the Policy is in force, we will determine the amount of and pay the Death Benefit proceeds on the Policy upon receipt at our Home Office of satisfactory proof of the second death, plus written direction (from each eligible recipient of Death Benefit proceeds) regarding how to pay the Death Benefit payment, and any other documents, forms and information we need. We may require return of the Policy. We will pay the Death Benefit proceeds to the Beneficiary(ies), if living. If each Beneficiary dies before the second death, we will pay the Death Benefit proceeds to the Owner or the Owner’s estate, or, if the Owner is a corporation, to it or its successor. We will pay the Death Benefit proceeds in a lump sum or under a settlement option.

Death Benefit proceeds equal:

•

the Death Benefit (described below);

•

plus any additional insurance payable upon the second death provided by an additional Agreement;

•

plus any premium paid after the date of the second death;

•

minus any unpaid monthly charges;

•

minus any outstanding Policy loan; and

•

minus any accrued Policy Loan Interest.

We may further adjust the amount of the Death Benefit proceeds if we contest the Policy and the all insureds or the second insured to die dies by suicide or you misstate an insured’s Age or gender. See “Statement of Additional Information.”

Death Benefit Options

The Policy provides a Death Benefit. The Death Benefit is determined on each monthly Policy Anniversary and as of the date of the second death. You must select one of the three Death Benefit options we offer in your Application. If you do not choose a Death Benefit option in your Application, the Level Option Death Benefit will automatically be in effect.

The Policy is intended to qualify under Code Section 7702 as a life insurance policy for federal tax purposes. The Death Benefit is intended to qualify for the federal income tax exclusion. The provisions of the Policy and any attached Agreement will be interpreted to ensure such qualification, regardless of any language to the contrary.

To the extent the Death Benefit is increased to maintain qualification as a life insurance policy, we will make appropriate adjustments to any monthly charges or supplemental Agreements that are consistent with such an increase. Adjustments will be reflected in the monthly charge assessment.

Under Code Section 7702, a Policy will generally be treated as life insurance for federal tax purposes if at all times it meets either a “guideline premium test (GPT)” or a “cash value accumulation test (CVAT).” You must choose either the GPT or the CVAT before the Policy is issued. Once the Policy is issued, you

Page 49

may not change to a different test. The Death Benefit will vary depending on which test is used. If you chose the CVAT test, you may not have the Overloan Protection Agreement on your Policy. See “Supplemental Agreements — Overloan Protection Agreement.”

The GPT has two components, a premium limit component and a corridor component. The premium limit restricts the amount of premium that can be paid into the Policy. The corridor requires that the Death Benefit be at least a certain percentage (varying each year by Age of the younger insured) of the Accumulation Value. The CVAT does not have a premium limit, but does have a corridor that requires that the Death Benefit be at least a certain percentage (varying based on the Ages and gender classes of the insureds) of the Accumulation Value.

The corridor under the CVAT is different than the corridor under the GPT. For a Policy in the corridor with no additional Agreements, as your Accumulation Value increases your Death Benefit will increase more rapidly under CVAT than it would under GPT.

Your Policy will be issued using the GPT unless you choose otherwise. In deciding whether or not to choose the CVAT, you should consider that the CVAT generally permits more premiums to be contributed to a Policy, but may require the Policy to have a higher Death Benefit, which may increase certain charges.

Under the Guideline Premium Test (GPT), the Level Option Death Benefit equals the greatest of:

the Face Amount on the date of the second death; or

a specified “limitation percentage,” called the Guideline Premium Test Death Benefit Percentage Factor (GPT DBPF) on your Policy’s data pages, multiplied by the Accumulation Value on the date of the second death.

Under the Level Option, your Death Benefit remains level unless the limitation percentage multiplied by the Accumulation Value is greater than the Face Amount; then the Death Benefit will vary as the Accumulation Value varies.

The limitation percentage is the minimum percentage of Accumulation Value we must pay as the Death Benefit under federal tax requirements. It is based on the Ages of the insureds at the beginning of each Policy Year. The following table indicates the limitation percentages for the guideline premium test for different Ages:

Age	Limitation Percentage
40 and under	250%
41 to 45	250% minus 7% for each year over Age 40
46 to 50	215% minus 6% for each year over Age 45
51 to 55	185% minus 7% for each year over Age 50
56 to 60	150% minus 4% for each year over Age 55
61 to 65	130% minus 2% for each year over Age 60
66 to 70	120% minus 1% for each year over Age 65
71 to 75	115% minus 2% for each year over Age 70
76 to 90	105%
91 to 95	105% minus 1% for each year over Age 90
96 to 121	100%

If the Code requires us to determine the Death Benefit by reference to these limitation percentages, the Policy is described as “in the corridor.” An increase in the Accumulation Value will increase our risk, and we will increase the cost of insurance charge we assess from the Policy’s Accumulation Value.

Page 50

Level Option Guideline Premium Test Example. Assume that the younger insured’s Age is under 40. Under the Level Option, a Policy with a $100,000 Face Amount will generally pay $100,000 in Death Benefits. However, because the Death Benefit must be equal to or be greater than 250 percent of the Accumulation Value, any time the Accumulation Value of the Policy exceeds $40,000, the Death Benefit will exceed the $100,000 Face Amount. The figure $40,000 is derived because 250 percent of $40,000 equals $100,000. Every additional $100 added to the Accumulation Value above $40,000 will increase the Death Benefit by $250.

Similarly, so long as the Accumulation Value exceeds $40,000, every $100 taken out of the Accumulation Value will reduce the Death Benefit by $250. If at any time the Accumulation Value multiplied by the limitation percentage is less than the Face Amount, the Death Benefit will equal the Face Amount of the Policy.

Under the Cash Value Accumulation Test (CVAT), the Level Option Death Benefit equals the greatest of:

the Face Amount on the date of the second death; or

the amount required for the Policy to qualify as a life insurance policy under Code Section 7702.

Under the Level Option, your Death Benefit remains level unless the Accumulation Value is greater than the net single premium as specified under Code Section 7702, multiplied by the Face Amount. The net single premium is based on the insureds’ genders, Ages, tobacco statuses, and Risk Classes.

Under the CVAT, a “limitation percentage” may be defined as the value “1” divided by the net single premium. While the limitation percentages are defined differently for the GPT and the CVAT, they work identically with respect to the relationship between the Accumulation Value and the Death Benefit. Specifically, the Death Benefit is never less than the Accumulation Value multiplied by the applicable limitation percentage, regardless of whether the Policy satisfies the GPT or CVAT.

Level Option Cash Value Accumulation Test Example. Assume that the Policy has a Face Amount of $100,000, and the limitation percentage is 225 percent. Under the Level Option, a Policy with a $100,000 Face Amount will generally pay $100,000 in Death Benefits. However, because the Death Benefit for the Policy must be equal to or be greater than 225 percent of the Accumulation Value, any time the Accumulation Value of the Policy exceeds $44,444, the Death Benefit of the Policy will exceed the $100,000 Face Amount. The figure $44,444 is derived because 225 percent of $44,444 equals $100,000. Every additional $100 added to the Accumulation Value above $44,444 will increase the Death Benefit of the Policy by $225.

Similarly, so long as the Accumulation Value exceeds $44,444, every $100 taken out of the Accumulation Value will reduce the Death Benefit of the Policy by $225. If at any time the Accumulation Value multiplied by the limitation percentage is less than the Face Amount, the Death Benefit of the Policy will equal the Face Amount of the Policy.

Under the Guideline Premium Test, the Increasing Option Death Benefit equals the greatest of:

the Face Amount plus the Accumulation Value on the date of the second death; or

the limitation percentage (the GPT DBPF) multiplied by the Accumulation Value on the date of the second death.

Under the Increasing Option, the Death Benefit always varies as the Accumulation Value varies.

Page 51

Increasing Option Guideline Premium Test Example. Assume that the younger insured’s Age is under 40. Under the Increasing Option, a Policy with a Face Amount of $100,000 will generally pay a Death Benefit of $100,000 plus the Accumulation Value. Thus, a Policy with an Accumulation Value of $60,000 will generally have a Death Benefit of $160,000 ($100,000 + $60,000). The Death Benefit, however, must be at least 250 percent of the Accumulation Value. As a result, if the Accumulation Value of the Policy exceeds $66,666, the Death Benefit will be greater than the Face Amount plus the Accumulation Value. The figure of $66,666 is derived because 250 percent of $66,666 equals $100,000 + $66,666. Every additional $100 of Accumulation Value above $66,666 will increase the Death Benefit by $250.

Similarly, any time the Accumulation Value exceeds $66,666, every $100 taken out of Accumulation Value will reduce the Death Benefit by $250. If at any time the Accumulation Value multiplied by the limitation percentage is less than the Face Amount plus the Accumulation Value, then the Death Benefit will be the Face Amount plus the Accumulation Value of the Policy.

Under the Cash Value Accumulation Test, the Increasing Option Death Benefit equals the greatest of:

the Face Amount plus the Accumulation Value on the date of the second death; or

the amount required for the Policy to qualify as a life insurance policy under Code Section 7702.

Under the Increasing Option, the Death Benefit always varies as the Accumulation Value varies.

Increasing Option Cash Value Accumulation Test Example. Assume that the Policy has a Face Amount of $100,000, and the limitation percentage is 225 percent. Under the Increasing Option, a Policy with a Face Amount of $100,000 will generally pay a Death Benefit of $100,000 plus the Accumulation Value. Thus, a Policy with an Accumulation Value of $65,000 will generally have a Death Benefit of $165,000 ($100,000 + $65,000). The Death Benefit for the Policy must be at least 225 percent of the Accumulation Value. As a result, if the Accumulation Value of the Policy exceeds $80,000, the Death Benefit for the Policy will be greater than the Face Amount plus the Accumulation Value. The figure of $80,000 is derived because 225 percent of $80,000 equals $100,000 + $80,000. Every additional $100 of Accumulation Value above $80,000 will increase the Death Benefit of the Policy by $225.

Similarly, any time Accumulation Value exceeds $80,000, every $100 taken out of Accumulation Value will reduce the Death Benefit of the Policy by $225. If at any time the Accumulation Value multiplied by the limitation percentage is less than the Face Amount plus the Accumulation Value, then the Death Benefit for the Policy will be the Face Amount plus the Accumulation Value of the Policy.

Effect of Partial Surrenders on the Death Benefit

If you choose the Level Option, a partial surrender will reduce the Face Amount by an amount equal to the amount of the partial surrender. If you choose the Increasing Option, your Face Amount will not be affected by a partial surrender. Regardless of the Death Benefit option you choose, a partial surrender will reduce the Death Benefit by at least the amount of the partial surrender.

Choosing Death Benefit Options

You must choose one Death Benefit option on your Application. This is an important decision. The Death Benefit option you choose will have an impact on the dollar value of the Death Benefit, on your Accumulation Value, and on the amount of cost of insurance charges you pay. If you do not select a Death Benefit option on your Application, the Level Option will become the Death Benefit option for your Policy, by default.

Page 52

You may find the Level Option more suitable for you if your goal is to increase your Accumulation Value through positive investment experience. Positive investment experience under the Level Option would result in a higher proportion of Accumulation Value to the Death Benefit, which may lower the total amount of fees and expenses we would charge. You may find the Increasing Option more suitable for you if your goal is to increase your total Death Benefit. Positive increases in the Accumulation Value would be reflected in your Death Benefit, which would result in a Death Benefit that equals your Initial Face Amount plus the Accumulation Value.

Changing the Death Benefit Option

After the first Policy Year, you may change your Death Benefit option once each Policy Year. We will notify you of the new Face Amount.

•

You must send your Written Request in Good Order to our Home Office.

•

The effective date of the change will be the monthly Policy Anniversary on or following the date we approve your request for a change in Good Order.

•

Changing your Death Benefit option may cause you to receive taxable income, may cause your Policy to become a MEC or may have other unintended adverse federal tax consequences. See “Federal Tax Status.” You should consult a tax adviser before changing your Policy’s Death Benefit option.

Decreasing the Face Amount

You may decrease the Face Amount of the Policy. A decrease in the Face Amount will affect your cost of insurance charge, your guideline premium or cash value accumulation tax calculation, and may have adverse federal tax consequences. You should consult a tax adviser before decreasing your Policy’s Face Amount.

Other Benefits Available Under the Contract

In addition to the standard death benefits associated with your Policy, other optional agreements may also be available to you. The following tables summarize information about those agreements. Information about the fees associated with each agreement included in the tables may be found in the Fee Table.

Supplemental Agreements

Except as otherwise indicated, the following Agreements offering supplemental benefits are available under the Policy. Some of the Agreements are subject to our underwriting approval. Your agent can help you determine whether certain of the Agreements are suitable for you. These Agreements may not be available in all states. Please contact us for further details.

Estate Preservation Agreement. The Estate Preservation Agreement permits You to purchase additional four year term insurance on the death of the designated insured, without evidence of insurability. This right extends for a period of 90 days after the death of that person. Typically, the person you designate will be the younger of the two persons insured under this Policy. In the event that both insureds under this Policy die simultaneously, We will pay nothing under this Agreement. The Estate Preservation Agreement is useful if there is a need to have the Policy owned initially by one or both of the insureds and subsequently to change the ownership to a trust.

Page 55

For example, if the designated insured dies while the policy is individually owned, the Agreement allows the Policy owner to purchase four year term insurance within 90 days of that insured’s death to cover possible estate taxes should the second insured die within three years of the designated insured’s death.

Policy Split Agreement. The Policy Split Agreement provides for the division of the Policy into two policies of single life flexible premium universal life insurance, without evidence of insurability. The face amounts of the resulting two policies of single life flexible premium universal life insurance will be 50% of the Face Amount of the Policy, plus 50% of any Term Insurance Agreement amount, as shown on the Policy data pages. You may request a split of the Policy so long as (1) both insureds are under Age 75 and living on the effective date of issue of the new policies; (2) neither insured is in an uninsurable risk class; and (3) the request is made within six months of: (i) the amendment of the Code to eliminate the unlimited federal estate tax marital deduction with respect to the insureds; (ii) the amendment to the Code to reduce the maximum estate tax rate by 50% or more; the amendment to the Code to reduce the maximum estate tax exemption amount by 50% or more; or the insureds’ final decree of divorce. If the Policy has an existing loan, such loan must be repaid before the Policy is split.

Both the Surrender Charges on the split policy and any premium expense charges on the new policies will be waived resulting in the total Accumulation Value less indebtedness on the new policies to be the same as the Accumulation Value less indebtedness of the split policy. The new policies’ cost of insurance charges will be based on each Insured’s Age, which will likely resulting in higher total charges than those that existed under the split policy.

If the new policies are variable life insurance policies, the value of the new policies will be calculated using the Sub-Accounts’ current net asset value.

For example, if a Policy has a $1,000,000 Face Amount and the Owner decides to split the Policy, exercising this Agreement would result in two policies of single life flexible premium universal life insurance, each with a face amount of $500,000.

Term Insurance Agreement. The Term Insurance Agreement provides additional one-year level term insurance payable at the second death. The additional term insurance provided by this Agreement will automatically be renewed annually until the younger insured’s age 100. The additional term insurance provided by this Agreement may not be converted. We assess a separate monthly charge for this Agreement.

For example, if you were to elect this Agreement to provide an additional $250,000 in Death Benefits, this additional $250,000 would be payable to the beneficiary upon the second death if this Agreement is still in force. Note that the Term Insurance Agreement has no cash or loan values and does not modify any cash or loan values of this Policy.

Early Values Agreement. The Early Values Agreement (“EVA”) waives the Surrender Charges that would ordinarily apply to your Policy. Electing this Agreement results in higher cash Surrender Values in the early years of Policy Ownership. If you elect this Agreement, the Accumulation Value will be slightly lower than if this Agreement is not elected because of the charge for the Agreement. The minimum monthly charge for this Agreement is 0.01 percent of the Accumulation Value less any Policy loan and the maximum monthly charge is 0.05 percent of Accumulation Value less any Policy loan. For purposes of determining the charge for this Agreement, Policy Loan Interest that has accrued, but which has not been paid or added to the Policy Loan Account, will be included as part of the Policy loan being subtracted from the Accumulation Value. This Agreement may not be terminated once it is elected. If the Policy is terminated and later reinstated, the EVA must be added at reinstatement. You should only purchase this Agreement if higher cash Surrender Values in the early years of this Policy are important to you and you are willing to accept lower Policy Accumulation Values.

Page 56

For example, if you surrender your Policy in the third Policy Year while your Policy’s Accumulation Value is $100,000, we would ordinarily deduct a Surrender Charge, which could be significant, in calculating your Surrender Value. If you elect the EVA, such Surrender Charge will be waived, and your Surrender Value would be the whole $100,000 (less any Policy loan and unpaid Policy Loan Interest, if applicable) in this hypothetical situation.

Premium Deposit Agreement. The Premium Deposit Agreement allows you to send us up to three payments to pay your annual premium for a period of two to ten years. For each PDA payment you give us, we may require you to pay an initial premium on the date you send us the PDA payment. The initial premium is not part of the PDA account and does not count towards the maximum of three payments into the PDA. The payments will be held in a Premium Deposit Account, a part of our General Account, and interest will be credited on those payments. We will credit an annual rate of interest at least equal to a minimum annual rate of interest of 0.50%, the PDA Minimum Rate, on each payment to the Premium Deposit Account for the duration the payment remains in the Premium Deposit Account. In our sole discretion, we may credit an annual rate of interest higher than the PDA Minimum Rate on payments to the Premium Deposit Account for the duration the payment remains in the Account. We will provide you with the current Premium Deposit Account interest rate upon request.

The Premium Deposit Agreement is not subject to underwriting. You should consider adding this Agreement to your Policy if you want to only make three or fewer payments during the life of the Policy and would like us to automatically pay your Policy premiums for the periods you elect. There is no charge for this Agreement.

Each year, we will withdraw a portion of the payment(s) held in a Premium Deposit Account and pay from our General Account interest credited on that amount to pay your annual premium. Amounts held in the Premium Deposit Account may only be used to pay Policy premiums.

When you add the Premium Deposit Agreement to your Policy, we will send you a confirmation showing the annual withdrawal from the Premium Deposit Agreement account and the interest we will credit on that amount. The following example demonstrates how the Premium Deposit Agreement works:

The Policy Owner requests the Premium Deposit Account and wishes to have 10 annual premium payments of $10,000 each. Assuming an interest rate of 2.75%, we would require a deposit into the Premium Deposit Account of $78,776.78. The initial $10,000 premium payment would need to be made in addition to the deposit into the Premium Deposit Account. The following chart depicts the withdrawals and interest earned for each Premium payment made from the Premium Deposit Amount:

Annual Premium Payment Year	Annual Premium to be Paid	Amount Withdrawn from PDA	Taxable Interest Earned
2	$10,000.00	$9,732.36	$267.64
3	$10,000.00	$9,471.88	$528.12
4	$10,000.00	$9,218.38	$781.62
5	$10,000.00	$8,971.66	$1,028.34
6	$10,000.00	$8,731.54	$1,268.46
7	$10,000.00	$8,497.85	$1,502.15
8	$10,000.00	$8,270.41	$1,729.59
9	$10,000.00	$8,049.06	$1,950.94
10	$10,000.00	$7,833.64	$2,166.36

Page 57

On the first Policy Anniversary (the second Annual Premium Payment Year), we would withdraw $9,732.36 from the Premium Deposit Account and credit $267.64 in interest from our General Account to pay the annual premium of $10,000 ($9,732.36 + $267.64 = $10,000). The interest of $267.64 will be reported to the Policy Owner as taxable on an IRS Form 1099-INT.

If you request a surrender of any amount held by us under the Premium Deposit Agreement, we will treat it as a request to surrender the Agreement and will refund all of the remaining balance in the Premium Deposit Account to you along with interest credited at the PDA Minimum Rate for the portion of each payment remaining in the Premium Deposit Account. Interest will be credited from the date of your payment to the Premium Deposit Account or if later, the date the premium payment for the immediately preceding Policy Anniversary was made from the Premium Deposit Account. We only pay interest from the immediately preceding Policy Anniversary date because the Policy Owner received an interest payment on the Premium Deposit Account money on that date.

If the second death occurs while the Policy and the Premium Deposit Account are in force, we will pay the Death Benefit payable under the Policy as well as any remaining balance in the Premium Deposit Account. We will pay you interest on that remaining balance, using the then current interest rate for the Premium Deposit Account. Interest will be credited from the date of your payment to the Premium Deposit Account or if later, the date the last premium payment was made from the Premium Deposit Account.

Overloan Protection Agreement. The Overloan Protection Agreement provides that the Policy will not terminate because of a Policy loan even where the Accumulation Value of the Policy is insufficient to cover Policy charges. The Policy Owner must elect to use the guideline premium test. Once exercised, the Death Benefit payable under the Policy will be greatly reduced and be the minimum Death Benefit payable as permitted under the Code at the time the Overloan Protection Agreement was exercised. The Agreement may be exercised on non-MECs after the Policy has been in force for at least 15 years and the insured(s) is over 75 years of Age. Once elected, this Agreement will remain in force until the Policy is surrendered or until the second death and will reduce the Policy Death Benefit by the amount of the Fixed Loan Account. We assess a one-time charge when the Agreement is exercised. Exercising the Overloan Protection Agreement shall not affect the Policy’s Face Amount or other supplemental insurance benefits offered under the Policy.

For example, if your Policy’s Accumulation Value is $500,000 and you exercise this Agreement, a maximum charge of $50,000 (10% of your Accumulation Value) will be deducted from your Policy. Your remaining Accumulation Value allocated to the separate account or indexed accounts will be transferred to the Guaranteed Interest Account. Exercising this Agreement will guarantee that your Policy does not terminate because of a policy loan even if the cash value is insufficient to cover policy charges.

The tax treatment of the Overloan Protection Agreement is uncertain and it is not clear whether the Overloan Protection Agreement will be effective to prevent taxation of any outstanding loan balance as a distribution in those situations where Overloan Protection takes effect. Anyone contemplating exercise of the Policy’s Overloan Protection Agreement should consult a tax advisor.

No Lapse Guarantee Agreement. The No Lapse Guarantee Agreement (NLG Agreement) provides that the Policy will remain in force even if the Accumulation Value is not sufficient to cover monthly charges when due, as long as: (i) the NLGA value (as defined in the Agreement) is sufficient to cover any charges against the NLGA value; and (ii) after accounting for any charges described in subsection (i) above, the sum of any outstanding Policy loans and any unpaid Policy Loan Interest does not exceed the Accumulation Value. The NLGA has no effect on the Policy’s Face Amount, Death Benefit and the supplemental insurance benefits offered under the Policy.

Page 58

Example 1:

If a Policy has an Accumulation Value of $1,000 and monthly charges are $2,000, it will not have sufficient Accumulation Value from which we can subtract policy charges. However, if the NLGA value is sufficient to cover any outstanding monthly charges, the Policy will not terminate at that time.

Example 2:

If a Policy has an Accumulation Value of $1,000, an outstanding Policy loan of $500, and monthly charges are $2,000, it will not have sufficient Accumulation Value from which we can subtract policy charges. The Accumulation Value of $1,000 less the outstanding Policy loan of $500 less the monthly charges of $2,000 would cause the Policy to lapse. If the Owner does not repay the outstanding Policy loan, the Policy would terminate because the sum of the outstanding Policy loan would exceed the Accumulation Value (after accounting for the $2,000 in monthly charges).

Example 3:

If in Example 2, the Owner repays the Policy loan and any outstanding Policy Loan Interest, the Policy’s Accumulation Value would still not be sufficient to cover charges ($500 remaining Accumulation Value less monthly charges of $2,000). However, if the NLGA value is sufficient to cover the $2,000 monthly charges, the Policy would not terminate.

You should purchase the NLG Agreement if you are concerned about the policy lapsing due to low Accumulation Value. However, in times of positive market performance your Accumulation Value may never fall to a level insufficient to cover charges, and therefore, the benefit of the NLG Agreement may not be realized.

The NLGA Net Premium is the premium payment less the NLGA premium charge assessed against the premium. On the date the initial Net Premium is paid under the Policy, the NLGA value for the Policy is equal to the NLGA Net Premium paid.

For any date after the date we receive your initial Net Premium, the NLGA value for the Policy is equal to:

the prior NLGA value; plus

interest, using the NLGA interest rate shown on the policy data pages, earned since the prior day; plus

any NLGA Net Premium applied since the prior day; minus

any NLGA partial surrender amount (see below); minus

the deduction of the NLGA Cost of Insurance and NLGA Policy Issue Charges from NLGA value; minus

Transaction Charges, Cash Extra Charge and any charges for supplemental insurance benefits.

The NLGA value is not a value you may take a loan against or access by talking a partial surrender. A partial surrender of Policy Accumulation Value will reduce the NLGA value by the NLGA Partial Surrender Amount which is the greater of i) the amount of the partial surrender or ii) the NLGA value (before the partial surrender) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the partial surrender and the denominator of which is the Accumulation Value (before the partial surrender). The NLGA value is used solely to determine whether or not the Policy terminates when the

Page 59

Accumulation Value falls to a level that is insufficient to cover charges against the Accumulation Value. We will provide the policy owner with the amount of the NLGA value upon request. We assess a separate monthly charge for this Agreement.

If there is no Accumulation Value and the NLGA value is insufficient to cover the charges against the NLGA value, a 61-day grace period begins. See “Termination and Reinstatement — Termination” for information regarding the notice we will provide when a Policy enters the Grace Period and the steps to prevent termination of the Policy.

When the NLG Agreement is issued, we will not accept any initial premium or premium for any subsequent Policy Years that exceeds the annual premium limit for the NLGA Agreement. You can obtain the amount of your NLG Agreement annual premium limit by requesting a personalized Policy illustration. The NLG Agreement annual premium limit also applies where we receive cash value from another policy in an exchange under Section 1035 or otherwise. We will waive the annual premium limit for the NLG Agreement only to the extent that the premium in excess of the annual premium limit is necessary to prevent the policy from terminating prior to the next Policy Anniversary. There may be limitations on Net Premium allocations while the agreement is in force. The percentage of any Net Premiums allocated to any variable Sub-Account will be limited to the maximum variable Sub-Account percentage as defined in the policy.

While the Agreement is in force, no requested transfer or systematic transfer may be allocated to a variable Sub-Account where the percentage of the total accumulation value in the Sub-Account prior to the requested transfer or systematic transfer exceeds the maximum variable Sub-Account percentage. These investment restrictions are designed to limit high allocations to any one Sub-Account. These investment restrictions, which are designed to prevent an overconcentration of risk in any single Sub Account, are enforced prior to any investment or investment allocation changes.

We reserve the right at a future time to restrict the allocation for transfers, rebalancing, and additional premiums to any one variable Sub-Account by the maximum variable Sub-Account percentage shown on the policy’s data pages. Additionally, for a requested transfer or systematic transfer, the percentage allocated to any one variable Sub-Account must not exceed the maximum variable Sub-Account percentage of the transfer or systematic transfer amount. We reserve the right to waive and/or otherwise change the maximum variable Sub-Account percentage limitations. Please contact as us at 1-844-208-2412 to see if the maximum variable Sub-Account percentage limitation is currently being waived.

Automatic Rebalancing, as defined in the agreement is required while the agreement is in force. The following automatic rebalancing requirements must be maintained.

The frequency of the automatic rebalancing must be at least quarterly.

The percentage allocated to any variable Sub-Account may be limited to the maximum variable Sub-Account percentage.

Surrenders and Partial Surrenders

Surrender

You may request to surrender your Policy at any time before the second death and the Policy is in force. A surrender may have tax consequences. See “Federal Tax Status.”

Page 60

The Surrender Value of the Policy is the Accumulation Value less any unpaid Policy charges which we assess against Accumulation Value, less any Policy loan, less any unpaid Policy Loan Interest and less any Surrender Charges. We determine the Surrender Value as of the Valuation Date on which we receive your signed Written Request for surrender of the Policy in Good Order at our Home Office. Any Surrender Value available under the Policy at any time other than the Policy Anniversary shall be calculated with allowance for lapse of time from the last preceding Policy Anniversary. You may request that the Surrender Value be paid to you in cash or, alternatively, paid under a settlement option we offer. We may require that you return the Policy.

If you surrender your Policy during the first 10 Policy Years, we will assess a Surrender Charge, which may significantly reduce the Surrender Value. See “Policy Charges.”

The amount you receive on surrender may be more or less than the total premiums you paid under the Policy. Once you surrender your Policy, all coverage and other benefits under the Policy cease and cannot be reinstated. See “Distributions Other Than Death Benefits from Modified Endowment Contracts” and “Distributions Other Than Death Benefits from Policies that are not Modified Endowment Contracts.”

We will pay surrender proceeds as soon as possible, but not later than seven days after we receive your Written Request in Good Order for surrender. However, if any portion of the Accumulation Value to be surrendered is attributable to a premium payment made by non-guaranteed funds such as a personal check, we will delay mailing that portion of the surrender proceeds until we have reasonable assurance that the check has cleared and the funds have been collected.

If you have allocated Accumulation Value to any of the Fixed Indexed Accounts during the period you owned the Policy, you may receive surrender proceeds based upon the guaranteed minimum Accumulation Value amounts held in the Fixed Indexed Accounts. Whether the guaranteed minimum Accumulation Value is available upon surrender depends upon your Policy’s particular facts and circumstances, including how much you allocated to the Fixed Indexed Accounts, how long your Accumulation Value was allocated to those accounts and whether Interest Credits were earned during that period. See “Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Value”.

Partial Surrender

Prior to the second death and while the Policy is in force, you may request a partial surrender of the Accumulation Value of your Policy by forwarding your request in Good Order to our Home Office. The partial surrender must be at least $500. The maximum partial surrender we will allow is the Accumulation Value: (i) less any outstanding Policy loan and accrued loan interest, (ii) less the amount of any Surrender Charge applicable at that time, (iii) less three (3) times the sum of all charges assessed at the most recent monthly anniversary closest to the date we receive your request in Good Order; and (iv) less the Partial Surrender Transaction Charge. For each partial surrender, we assess a Partial Surrender Transaction Charge of 2 percent of the amount of the partial surrender, up to $25. A partial surrender may have tax consequences. See “Federal Tax Status”.

You may tell us from which Sub-accounts of the Variable Account, any Fixed Indexed Account and the Guaranteed Interest Account to make a partial surrender. If you do not instruct us as to which Accounts we should take the partial surrender, we will take the partial surrender from the Accounts in the order described below:

The partial surrender will be taken first from your Accumulation Value in the Guaranteed Interest Account.

Page 61

If the partial surrender amount exceeds your Accumulation Value in the Guaranteed Interest Account, the remaining partial surrender will be taken from your Accumulation Value in the Variable Account on a pro-rata basis from the Accumulation Value in each Sub-Account. Pro-rata basis means Accumulation Value will be transferred proportionally from each Sub-Account in the Variable Account in relation to the total Accumulation Value of all Sub-Accounts in the Variable Account.

If the partial surrender exceeds your Accumulation Value in the Guaranteed Interest Account and the Variable Account, the remaining partial surrender will be taken from your Accumulation Value in the Interim Account.

If the partial surrender exceeds your Accumulation Value in the Guaranteed Interest Account, the Variable Account and the Interim Account, the remaining partial surrender will be taken from your Accumulation Value in the Fixed Indexed Accounts on a last in, first out basis from the Accumulation Value in each Segment. Last in, first out means that the Accumulation Value from Segments will be deducted first from the Segment with the closest Segment Date prior to the effective date of the transaction. If the amount of the transaction is more than the amount in that Segment, then the remaining amount of the transaction will be deducted from the Segment with the next prior Segment Date, etc., until the entire amount of the transaction has been accounted for. If there are multiple Segments with the same segment date, the amount of the Accumulation Value deducted from those Segments will be determined on a pro-rata basis among those segments.

We will process the partial surrender at the Unit Values next determined after we receive your request in Good Order at our Home Office. This means that if we receive your request for partial surrender prior to 3:00 p.m. Central time, or prior to the end of a Valuation Date, we will process the request at the Unit Values determined as of that Valuation Date. If we receive your request for partial surrender at or after 3:00 p.m. Central time, or after the end of a Valuation Date we will process the request at the Unit Values determined as of 3:00 p.m. Central time on the following Valuation Date.

If a partial surrender would cause your Policy to be disqualified as life insurance under the Code, we will not process your request for partial surrender. In addition, unless you have instructed us otherwise in writing, if a partial surrender would cause your Policy to be classified as a MEC under the Code, we will not process your request for partial surrender. Under the Level Option Death Benefit, a partial surrender will cause a decrease in the Face Amount of the Policy equal to the amount of the partial surrender. For each Death Benefit option, a partial surrender will decrease the amount of the Death Benefit proceeds payable.

We will pay partial surrender proceeds as soon as possible, but not later than seven days after we receive your Written Request for partial surrender in Good Order.

We reserve the right to defer the payment of surrender and partial surrender proceeds for up to six months from the date of your Written Request, if such proceeds would be paid exclusively from your Accumulation Value in the Guaranteed Interest Account and the Fixed Indexed Accounts. In that case, if we postpone payment for more than 31 days, we will pay you interest at 2 percent annual rate for the period during which payment is postponed.

If mandated under applicable law, we may block an Owner’s account and thereby refuse to pay any request for surrender or partial surrender until instructions are received from the appropriate regulator. We may also be required to provide additional information about an Owner and Owner’s account to government regulators.

Free Look

It is important to us that you are satisfied with this Policy after it is issued. If you are not satisfied with it, you may request to cancel the Policy and return the Policy to us or your agent within 30 days after you receive it. We will send to you within seven days of the date we receive your notice of cancellation and the Policy, the greater of (1) a full refund of the premiums you have paid, or (2) the Surrender Value of the Policy.

If the Policy is changed, as described under the “Policy Changes” section of this prospectus, and if the change results in the addition of any Agreements, you will have a right to examine the changed Policy and you may return the changed Policy within 30 days after you receive it. If you return the changed Policy, the additional Agreements will be cancelled, and the Policy will continue in force.

Policy Loans

While your Policy is in force, you may submit a request to our Home Office to borrow money from us using only your Policy as the security for the loan. You may obtain a Policy loan with a Written Request in Good Order by calling us at 1-844-208-2412 between the hours of 8:00 am and 5:00 pm, Central time, our regular business hours. If you call us, you will be asked for security purposes, for your personal identification and Policy number. Policy Owners may also submit their requests for policy loans to us by facsimile (fax) transmission at (651) 665-6955. We normally pay the loan amount within seven days after we receive a proper loan request in Good Order. We may postpone payment of loans for up to six months in the event of certain conditions. See “Deferral of Payment”. You may increase the risk that the Policy will terminate if you take a loan. A loan that is taken from, or secured by a Policy, may have adverse federal income tax consequences. See “Federal Tax Status.”

Your Policy will remain in force so long as the Accumulation Value less the sum of the Policy loan and any unpaid Policy Loan Interest is sufficient to cover the monthly charges when due. Otherwise, your Policy will terminate and there may be adverse tax consequences. See “Federal Tax Status.” To prevent your Policy from terminating, you will have to make a loan repayment. We will notify you 61 days in advance of the Termination of your Policy and the amount of the loan repayment required to keep it in force. The time for repayment will be within 61 days after our mailing of the notice.

You may request either a fixed interest rate Policy loan or a variable rate Policy loan. Under a fixed interest rate Policy loan, the rate of interest we charge for the Policy loan will not change for the duration of the loan. However, under a variable rate Policy loan, the rate of interest we charge for the loan can change annually for the duration of the loan. When you request a Policy loan, you must inform us of whether you are choosing a fixed interest rate Policy loan or a variable rate Policy loan.

Fixed Interest Rate Policy Loan. The maximum amount available for a fixed interest rate Policy loan is the Policy Accumulation Value less any applicable surrender charge and three (3) times the sum of all charges assessed at the most recent monthly anniversary closest to the date we receive your request in Good Order. We determine this amount on the Valuation Date we receive your request for a fixed interest rate Policy loan at our Home Office in Good Order. There is no minimum amount we require for a Policy loan. When you take a fixed interest rate Policy loan, we will transfer an amount equal to the loan from your Accumulation Value in the Guaranteed Interest Account, the Fixed Indexed Accounts and/or the Variable Account to the Fixed Loan Account, part of our General Account. You may instruct us as to which Account or Accounts and the proportion of the amount of the fixed interest rate Policy loan that should be transferred from the Accounts. However, if you instruct us to take a fixed interest rate Policy loan from the Fixed Indexed Accounts, we will transfer the amount of the loan from each Segment in the Fixed Indexed Accounts on a last in, first out basis. Last in, first out means that the

Page 63

Accumulation Value from Segments will be deducted first from the Segment with the closest Segment Date prior to the effective date of the transaction. If the amount of the transaction is more than the amount in that Segment, then the remaining amount of the transaction will be deducted from the Segment with the next prior Segment Date, etc., until the entire amount of the transaction has been accounted for. If there are multiple Segments with the same segment date, the amount of the Accumulation Value deducted from those Segments will be determined on a pro-rata basis among those segments.

If you do not instruct us as to how we should transfer the amount of the fixed interest rate Policy loan from the Accounts to the Fixed Loan Account, we will transfer the fixed rate loan amount in the order described below.

The fixed rate loan amount will be transferred first from your Accumulation Value in the Guaranteed Interest Account.

If the fixed rate loan amount exceeds your Accumulation Value in the Guaranteed Interest Account, the remaining fixed rate loan amount will be transferred from your Accumulation Value in the Variable Account on a pro-rata basis from the Accumulation Value in each Sub-Account. Pro-rata basis means the loan amount will be transferred proportionally from the Accumulation Value of each Sub-Account in the Variable Account in relation to the total Accumulation Value of all Sub-Accounts in the Variable Account.

If the fixed rate loan amount exceeds your Accumulation Value in the Guaranteed Interest Account and the Variable Account, the remaining fixed rate loan amount will be transferred from your Accumulation Value in the Interim Account.

If the fixed rate loan amount exceeds your Accumulation Value in the Guaranteed Interest Account, the Variable Account and the Interim Account, the remaining fixed rate loan amount will be transferred from your Accumulation Value in the Fixed Indexed Accounts on a last in, first out basis from the Accumulation Value in each Segment. Last in, first out means that the Accumulation Value from Segments will be deducted first from the Segment with the closest Segment Date prior to the effective date of the transaction. If the amount of the transaction is more than the amount in that Segment, then the remaining amount of the transaction will be deducted from the Segment with the next prior Segment Date, etc., until the entire amount of the transaction has been accounted for. If there are multiple Segments with the same segment date, the amount of the Accumulation Value deducted from those Segments will be determined on a pro-rata basis among those segments.

We hold the fixed rate loan amount as collateral for the loan in the Fixed Loan Account. The fixed rate loan amount is not available for withdrawal from the Policy.

Fixed Interest Rate Policy Loan Interest. We will charge you interest on a fixed interest rate Policy loan at the annual rate of interest shown on the Policy data pages of your Policy while your fixed interest rate policy loan is outstanding. Currently, we charge an annual rate of interest of 5 percent on fixed interest rate Policy loans. Policy Loan Interest becomes due and payable:

•

on a Policy loan transaction (which is any transaction that affects the loan amount);

•

on each Policy Anniversary;

•

on surrender or Termination of the Policy; or

•

on the date of the death of the second death.

Page 64

Loan interest can be paid via check. If you do not pay the interest on your loan when due, your Policy loan will be increased by the amount of the unpaid interest.

We also credit interest to amounts held in the Fixed Loan Account as collateral for Policy loans at a rate of interest at least equal to the interest rate shown on the Policy data pages. Currently, we credit an annual rate of interest which is not less than your fixed interest rate Policy Loan Interest rate minus 1 percent. However, if your Policy has been in force for ten years or more, we will credit your loan amount with an annual rate of interest equal to the Policy loan rate minus .10 percent. On the date of each Policy loan transaction and Policy Anniversary, we will allocate any accrued Fixed Loan Account interest to your Accumulation Value in the Guaranteed Interest Account, the Fixed Indexed Accounts and the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account on a pro-rata basis. Pro-rata basis means interest will be credited proportionally to the Accumulation Value in each Account in relation to the total Accumulation Value of all Accounts listed.

Variable Interest Rate Policy Loan. If you have Accumulation Value in one or more of the Fixed Indexed Accounts, you may request a variable interest rate Policy loan. The maximum aggregate amount you may borrow under one or more variable interest rate Policy loans under your Policy equals your Accumulation Value in the Fixed Indexed Accounts, plus your Accumulation Value in the Interim Account, less any applicable surrender charge and three (3) times the sum of all charges assessed at the most recent monthly anniversary. We will determine the amount available for a variable interest rate Policy loan as of the date we receive your request for a loan in Good Order at our Home Office. Unlike a fixed interest rate Policy loan, when you take a variable interest rate Policy loan, we will not transfer an amount equal to the loan from your Accumulation Value in the Guaranteed Interest Account, Fixed Indexed Accounts and/or the Variable Account to the Fixed Loan Account as collateral for the policy loan.

On every loan transaction date and on each monthly Policy Anniversary, we will compare the amount of a variable interest rate loan with the Accumulation Value in the Fixed Indexed Accounts and the Interim Account and if the amount of a variable interest rate loan exceeds the Accumulation Value in the Fixed Indexed Accounts and the Interim Account, we will automatically convert the variable interest rate loan to a fixed interest rate loan. You may request to convert back to a new variable rate interest loan after you have either reduced the loan balance by making a loan repayment or by increasing the amount of Accumulation Value in the Fixed Indexed Accounts.

Variable Interest Rate Policy Loan Interest. Under a variable interest rate Policy loan, we may change the rate of interest we charge for the Policy loan once a year on your Policy Anniversary. We will notify you at your Policy Anniversary of any changes in the Policy Loan Interest rate for the coming year.

The rate of interest we charge for a variable interest rate Policy loan will equal the greater of:

the published monthly average (Moody’s Corporate Bond Yield Average-Monthly Average Corporates) as published by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or its successor for the calendar month ending two months prior to the date the rate of interest for the Policy loan is determined, and

the guaranteed interest rate for the Guaranteed Interest Account shown on the Policy data pages, plus one (1) percent per annum.

We may increase the rate of interest we charge for a variable rate Policy loan on a Policy Anniversary where based on the above formula the rate of interest for a variable rate Policy loan calculated prior to the Policy Anniversary would be one-half percent or more higher than the rate of interest we currently

Page 65

charge for the loan. We will decrease the rate of interest we charge for a variable rate Policy loan on a Policy Anniversary where based on the above formula the rate of interest for a variable rate Policy loan calculated prior to the Policy Anniversary would be one-half percent or more lower than the rate of interest we currently charge. We will calculate any change in the rate of interest we charge for a variable rate Policy loan as of the Interim Account Transfer Date in the second month preceding your Policy Anniversary.

Any change in the loan interest rate will apply to any new variable rate Policy loans as well as variable rate Policy loans existing on your Policy Anniversary. The rate of interest for a variable rate Policy loan in effect on the Policy Date is shown on the Policy data pages. If that rate changes, we will notify you in the Annual Report or by other written notice.

Policy Loan Repayments. If your Policy is in force, you may repay your loan in part or in full at any time before the second death. Your loan may also be repaid within 60 days after the date of the second death, if we have not paid any of the benefits under the Policy. When we receive a payment from you, we will automatically treat that payment as a premium payment unless you specify that the payment is a loan repayment. Loan repayments are not subject to a premium charge. If the second death occurs with any loan outstanding, the amount of the Death Benefit will be reduced by the outstanding loan balance (including any unpaid Policy Loan Interest).

When you repay a fixed interest rate Policy loan, we transfer the repayment amount from the Fixed Loan Account to your Accumulation Value in the Guaranteed Interest Account, the Fixed Indexed Accounts and the Variable Account. Unless you instruct us otherwise, we will transfer the repayment amount on a pro-rata basis to the Guaranteed Interest Account, the Fixed Indexed Accounts and the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account based on your Accumulation Value in each investment option on the Valuation Date we receive your loan repayment in Good Order at our Home Office. Pro-rata basis means the repayment amount will be transferred from the Accumulation Value in each Account in relation to the total Accumulation Value of all Accounts listed. We reserve the right to restrict the amount of any loan repayment to the Guaranteed Interest Account.

A fixed interest rate Policy loan, whether or not it is repaid, will have a permanent effect on your Accumulation Value, and depending upon the Death Benefit option you have chosen, and the Death Benefit. As long as a fixed interest rate Policy loan is outstanding the collateral for the loan in the Fixed Loan Account is not affected by the investment performance of Sub-Accounts and may not be credited with the rates of interest we credit Accumulation Value in the Guaranteed Interest Account or with Index Credits in the Fixed Indexed Accounts.

A variable interest rate Policy loan will not have a permanent effect on the Accumulation Value of your Policy. If you make a repayment of a variable interest rate loan, the loan balance will be reduced, however, the loan repayment will not have an impact on the Policy’s Accumulation Value.

If your policy is issued with the NLG Agreement, when you repay a fixed policy interest rate loan, the fixed interest rate loan repayment will be allocated to all your accounts other than the fixed loan account on a pro-rata basis based on the value in each of the accounts. We reserve the right to restrict the amount of any fixed interest rate loan repayment allocated to the guaranteed interest account or to the fixed indexed accounts.

Termination and Reinstatement

Termination

If the Accumulation Value less the sum of the Policy loan(s) and any unpaid Policy Loan Interest is insufficient to cover the monthly charges on a monthly Policy Anniversary, a 61-day Grace Period begins. We will send you a written notice on the day your Policy goes into the Grace Period and inform you of your options. Your Policy will remain in force during the Grace Period. You may pay premiums during this Grace Period to cover the insufficiency and continue your Policy in force beyond the Grace Period. In addition to a notice that your Policy has gone into the Grace Period, we will send you and any assignee of record, at the last known address, at least 31 days prior to the end of the Grace Period, a written notice indicating the due date and the payment required to keep your Policy in force.

The payment required to keep your Policy in force after the Grace Period commences is equal to three times the sum of all the monthly charges that were due at the beginning of the Grace Period, plus the premium charge that would apply, plus any required Policy payment. If the second insured dies during the Grace Period, the death proceeds will be paid to the Beneficiary.

If the Policy were to terminate with an outstanding loan balance, you will also be required to make a loan repayment. If the payment is not paid by the end of the Grace Period, your Policy will terminate without value and Death Benefit will not be paid in the event of the second death.

If the Policy terminates with an outstanding loan balance, the amount of that outstanding loan will be treated as a distribution, which could be taxable depending upon your investment in the Policy. This means that as a result of a Policy Termination, you could recognize taxable income without any distribution of Policy Accumulation Value in the form of cash that could be used to pay any income tax due. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the tax treatment of a Policy Termination with an outstanding loan balance. See “Federal Tax Status.”

Reinstatement

At any time within three years from the date of Policy Termination while either insured is living, you may ask us to restore your Policy to an in force status, unless you surrendered your Policy. We will require each of the following to reinstate your Policy:

your Written Request in Good Order to reinstate the Policy;

that you submit to us at our Home Office during the lifetime of any insureds evidence satisfactory to us of any such insureds’ insurability so that we may have time to act on the evidence during the lifetime of any such insureds;

a payment sufficient to cover all monthly charges and Policy Loan Interest due and unpaid during the Grace Period; and

a premium sufficient to keep the Policy in force for three (3) months after the date of the reinstatement.

The effective date of reinstatement will be the first monthly Policy Anniversary on or following the date we approve your request for reinstatement. The Surrender Charge and Policy Issue Charge schedules that were in place at the end of the Grace Period will be effective at the reinstatement date. We will send you new Policy data pages when your Policy is reinstated.

Reinstating your Policy may have adverse tax consequences. You should consult your tax advisor before you reinstate your Policy. See “Federal Tax Status.”

Taxes

Federal Tax Status

Introduction. The discussion of federal taxes is general in nature and is not intended as tax advice. Each person concerned should consult a tax adviser. This discussion is based on our understanding of federal income tax laws as they are currently interpreted. No representation is made regarding the likelihood of continuation of current income tax laws or the current interpretations of the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”). We have not considered any applicable state or other tax laws.

Taxation of Minnesota Life and the Individual Variable Universal Life Account. We are taxed as a “life insurance company” under the Code. The operations of the Variable Account form a part of, and are taxed with, our other business activities. Currently, we pay no federal income tax on income dividends received by the Variable Account or on capital gains arising from the Variable Account’s activities. The Variable Account is not taxed as a “regulated investment company” under the Code and it does not anticipate any change in that tax status.

At the present time, we make no charge to the Variable Account for any federal, state or local taxes that we incur that may be attributable to such Variable Account or to the Policies. However, we reserve the right in the future to make a charge for any such tax or other economic burden resulting from the Application of the tax laws that we determine to be properly attributable to the Variable Account or the Policies.

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, which reduce our overall corporate income tax liability 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 majority of the benefits results from the dividends received deduction, which involves no reduction in the dollar amount of dividends that the separate account receives; and (ii) under applicable income tax law for purposes of both the dividends received deductions and the foreign tax credits, contract Owners are not the Owners of the assets generating those benefits.

Tax Status of the Policy. In order to qualify as a life insurance contract for federal income tax purposes and to receive the tax treatment normally accorded life insurance contracts under federal tax law, a Policy must satisfy certain requirements which are set forth in the Code. Guidance as to how these requirements are to be applied is limited. Nevertheless, we believe that a Policy issued on a standard rate class basis (other than those with a Cash Extra Charge) should satisfy the applicable requirements. There is less guidance, however, with respect to policies issued on a substandard basis or with a Cash Extra Charge and it is not clear whether such policies will in all cases satisfy the applicable requirements. If a Policy were determined not to be a life insurance contract for federal income tax purposes, that Policy would not provide most of the tax advantages normally provided by a life insurance contract. If it is subsequently determined that a Policy does not satisfy the applicable requirements, we may take appropriate steps to bring the Policy into compliance with such requirements and we reserve the right to restrict Policy transactions in order to do so.

In some circumstances, Owners of life insurance contracts who retain excessive control over the investment of underlying assets may be treated as the Owners of those assets and may be subject to tax on income produced by those assets. Although published guidance in this area does not address certain aspects of the Policies, we believe that the Owner of a Policy should not be treated as the Owner of the

Page 68

underlying assets. We reserve the right to modify the Policies to bring them into conformity with applicable standards should such modification be necessary to prevent Owners of the Policies from being treated as the Owners of the underlying assets.

In addition, the Code requires that the investments of the Variable Account be “adequately diversified” in order to treat the Policy as a life insurance contract for federal income tax purposes. We intend that the Variable Account, through the Funds and the Portfolios, will satisfy these diversification requirements.

Diversification of Investments. Section 817(h) of the Code authorizes the Treasury Department to set standards by regulation or otherwise for the investments of the Variable Account to be “adequately diversified” in order for the certificate to be treated as a life insurance contract for federal income tax purposes. The Variable Account, through the Fund and the Portfolios, intends to comply with the diversification requirements prescribed in Regulations Section 1.817-5, which affect how the Portfolio’s assets may be invested. Although the investment adviser of the Securian Funds Trust is an affiliate of ours, we do not control the Securian Funds Trust or the investments of its Portfolios. Nonetheless, we believe that each Portfolio of the Securian Funds Trust in which the Variable Account owns shares will be operated in compliance with the requirements prescribed by the Treasury Department. Contract Owners bear the risk that the entire Policy could be disqualified as a life insurance contract under the Code due to the failure of the Variable Account to be deemed to be “adequately diversified.”

Owner Control. In certain circumstances, Owners of variable life policies may be considered the Owners, for federal income tax purposes, of the assets of the separate account supporting their policies due to their ability to exercise control over those assets. Where this is the case, the contract Owners will be currently taxed on income and gains attributable to the separate account assets. In Revenue Ruling 2003-91, the IRS described 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. Under the contracts in Rev. Rul. 2003-91, there was no arrangement, plan, contract or Agreement between the Policy Owner and Minnesota Life regarding the availability of a particular investment option and other than the Policy Owner’s right to allocate premiums and transfer funds among the available Sub-Accounts, all investment decisions concerning the Sub-Accounts were made by Minnesota Life or an advisor in its sole and absolute discretion.

The Internal Revenue Service has further amplified and clarified its position in Rev. Rul. 2003-91 by issuing new regulations in 2005 and additional Revenue Rulings. We believe that the regulations and additional rulings are meant to clarify the IRS position in Rev. Rul. 2003-91 and that the Ownership rights of a contract Owner under the contract will not result in any contract Owner being treated as the Owner of the assets of the Variable Account. However, we do not know whether the IRS will issue additional guidance that will place restrictions on such Ownership rights. Therefore, we reserve the right to modify the contract as necessary to attempt to prevent a contract Owner from being considered the Owner of a pro-rata share of the assets of the Variable Account.

The following discussion assumes that the Policy will qualify as a life insurance contract for federal income tax purposes.

Tax Treatment of Policy Benefits

General. We believe that the Death Benefit under a Policy should generally be excludible from the gross income of the Beneficiary. Federal, state and local transfer, and other tax consequences of Ownership or receipt of Policy proceeds depend on the circumstances of each Policy Owner or Beneficiary. A tax adviser should be consulted on these consequences.

Page 69

Generally, the Policy Owner will not be deemed to be in constructive receipt of the Policy Accumulation Value until there is a distribution. When distributions from a Policy occur, or when loans are taken out from or secured by a Policy, the tax consequences depend on whether the Policy is classified as a “Modified Endowment Contract.”

Modified Endowment Contracts. Under the Internal Revenue Code, certain life insurance contracts are classified as MECs, with less favorable income tax treatment than other life insurance contracts. Due to the Policy’s flexibility with respect to premium payments and benefits, each Policy’s circumstances will determine whether the Policy is a MEC. In general, however, a Policy will be classified as a MEC if the amount of premiums paid into the Policy causes the Policy to fail the “7-pay test.” A Policy will fail the 7-pay test if at any time in the first seven Policy Years, the amount paid into the Policy exceeds the sum of the level premiums that would have been paid at that point under a Policy that provided for paid-up future benefits after the payment of seven level annual payments.

If there is a reduction in the benefits under the Policy during the first seven Policy Years, for example, as a result of a partial surrender, the 7-pay test will have to be reapplied as if the Policy had originally been issued at the reduced Face Amount. If there is a “material change” in the Policy’s benefits or other terms, even after the first seven Policy Years, the Policy may have to be retested as if it were a newly issued Policy. A material change can occur, for example, when there is an increase in the Death Benefit which is due to the payment of an unnecessary premium. Unnecessary premiums are premiums paid into the Policy which are not needed in order to provide a Death Benefit equal to the lowest Death Benefit that was payable in the first seven Policy Years. To prevent your Policy from becoming a MEC, it may be necessary to limit premium payments or to limit reductions in benefits. A current or prospective Policy Owner should consult with a competent adviser to determine whether a Policy transaction will cause the Policy to be classified as a MEC.

Distributions Other Than Death Benefits from Modified Endowment Contracts. Policies classified as MECs are subject to the following tax rules:

All distributions other than Death Benefits, including distributions upon surrender and withdrawals, from a MEC will be treated first as distributions of gain taxable as ordinary income and as tax-free recovery of the Policy Owner’s investment in the Policy only after all gain has been distributed.

Loans taken from or secured by a Policy classified as a MEC are treated as distributions and taxed accordingly.

A 10 percent additional income tax is imposed on the amount subject to tax except where the distribution or loan is made when the Policy Owner has attained Age 59½ or is disabled, or where the distribution is part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments for the life (or life expectancy) of the Policy Owner or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the Policy Owner and the Policy Owner’s Beneficiary or designated Beneficiary.

If a Policy becomes a MEC, distributions that occur during the contract year will be taxed as distributions from a MEC. In addition, distributions from a Policy within two years before it becomes a MEC will be taxed in this manner. This means that a distribution made from a Policy that is not a MEC could later become taxable as a distribution from a MEC.

Distributions Other Than Death Benefits from Policies that are not Modified Endowment Contracts. Distributions other than Death Benefits from a Policy that is not classified as a MEC are generally treated first as a recovery of the Policy Owner’s investment in the Policy and only after the recovery of all investment in the Policy as taxable income. However, certain distributions which must be

Page 70

made in order to enable the Policy to continue to qualify as a life insurance contract for federal income tax purposes if Policy benefits are reduced during the first 15 Policy Years may be treated in whole or in part as ordinary income subject to tax.

Loans from or secured by a Policy that is not a MEC are generally not treated as distributions. However, the tax consequences associated with fixed interest rate Policy loans after your Policy has been in force for ten years or more are less clear and a tax adviser should be consulted about such loans.

Finally, the 10 percent additional income tax does not apply to distributions or loans from or secured by a Policy that is not a MEC.

Investment in the Policy. Your investment in the Policy is generally your aggregate premiums. When a distribution is taken from the Policy, your investment in the Policy is reduced by the amount of the distribution that is tax free.

Settlement Options. Even if the Death Benefit under the Policy is excludible from income, payments under Settlement Options may not be excludible in full. This is because earnings on the Death Benefit after the second death are taxable and payments under the Settlement Options generally include such earnings. If you have added the IPA to your Policy, a portion of the installment payments under the IPA will be treated as taxable interest income to the Beneficiary. You should consult a tax adviser as to the tax treatment of payments under the Settlement Options.

Multiple Policies. Under the Code, all MECs issued by us (or an affiliated company) to the same Policy Owner during any calendar year will be treated as one MEC for purposes of determining the amount includable in gross income under Section 72(e) of the Code. Additional rules may be promulgated under this provision to prevent avoidance of its effects through serial contracts or otherwise. For further information on current aggregation rules under this provision, see your own tax adviser.

Policy Loans. In general, interest on a Policy loan will not be deductible. If a Policy loan is outstanding when a Policy is canceled or terminated, the amount of the outstanding indebtedness will be added to the amount distributed and will be taxed accordingly. Before taking out a Policy loan, you should consult a tax adviser as to the tax consequences.

Surrender. A complete surrender or partial surrender of the actual cash values of a Policy may have tax consequences. On surrender, you will not be taxed on values received except to the extent that they exceed the gross premiums paid under the Policy, reduced by any previously received excludable amounts (“cost basis”). An exception to this general rule occurs in the case of a partial withdrawal, a decrease in the Face Amount, or any other change that reduces benefits under the Policy in the first 15 years after the Policy is issued and that results in a cash distribution to you in order for the Policy to continue complying with the Section 7702 definitional limits. In the latter case, such distribution will be taxed in whole or in part as ordinary income (to the extent of any gain in the Policy) under rules prescribed in Section 7702. Finally, upon a complete surrender or lapse of a Policy or when benefits are paid at a Policy’s maturity date, if the amount received plus the amount of any Policy loan exceeds the cost basis of the Policy, the excess will generally be treated as ordinary income, subject to tax.

Reinstatements. You may have adverse tax consequences if you request that we reinstate your Policy after it has terminated with no Accumulation Value or for non-payment of premiums. For example, reinstatements that occur more than ninety days after a Policy terminates with no Accumulation Value or for non-payment of premium could automatically be classified as a MEC. You should consult your tax advisor before you reinstate your Policy.

Page 71

Overloan Protection Agreement. Anyone contemplating the purchase of the Policy with the Overloan Protection Agreement should be aware that the tax consequences of the Overloan Protection Agreement have not been ruled on by the IRS or the courts and it is possible that the IRS could assert that the outstanding loan balance should be treated as a taxable distribution when the Overloan Protection Agreement is exercised. You should consult a tax adviser as to the tax risks associated with the Overloan Protection Agreement.

Withholding. To the extent Policy distributions are taxable, they are generally subject to income tax withholding. Recipients can generally elect, however, not to have tax withheld from distributions.

Other Transactions. Changing the Policy Owner may have tax consequences. Pursuant to Section 1035(a)(1) of the Code, exchanging this Policy for another involving the same insureds should have no federal income tax consequences if there is no debt and no cash or other property is received. The new Policy would have to satisfy the 7-pay test from the date of the exchange to avoid characterization as a MEC. An exchange of a life insurance contract for a new life insurance contract may, however, result in a loss of grandfathering status for statutory changes made after the old Policy was issued.

Business Uses of Policy. The Policy may be used in various arrangements, including nonqualified deferred compensation or salary continuation plans, split-dollar insurance plans, executive bonus plans, retiree medical benefit plans and others. The tax consequences of such plans may vary depending on the particular facts and circumstances of each individual arrangement. Therefore, if you are contemplating the use of such Policy in any arrangement the value of which depends in part on its tax consequences, you should be sure to consult a tax adviser regarding the tax attributes of the particular arrangement.

Moreover, in recent years, Congress has adopted new rules relating to corporate owned life insurance. In particular, Section 101(j) of the Code added in 2006, denies the tax-free treatment of Death Benefits payable under an employer-owned life insurance contract unless certain notice and consent requirements are met and either (1) certain rules relating to the insured employee’s status are satisfied or (2) certain rules relating to the payment of the “amount received under the contract” to, or for the benefit of, certain Beneficiaries or successors of the insured employee are satisfied. The new rules apply to life insurance contracts owned by corporations (including S corporations), individual sole proprietors, estates and trusts and partnerships that are engaged in a trade or business. Any business contemplating the purchase of a Policy on the life of an employee should consult with its legal and tax advisers regarding the applicability to the proposed purchase.

If a Policy is owned or held by a corporation, trust or other non-natural person, this could jeopardize some (or all) of such entity’s interest deduction under Code Section 264, even where such entity’s indebtedness is in no way connected to the Policy. In addition, under Section 264(f)(5), if a business (other than a sole proprietorship) is directly or indirectly a Beneficiary of a Policy, this Policy could be treated as held by the business for purposes of the Section 264(f) entity-holder rules. Therefore, it would be advisable to consult with a qualified tax adviser before any non-natural person is made an Owner or holder of a Policy, or before a business (other than a sole proprietorship) is made a Beneficiary of a Policy.

Split-Dollar Arrangements. A tax adviser should be consulted with respect to the split-dollar regulations if you have purchased or are considering the purchase of a Policy for a split-dollar insurance plan. Any business contemplating the purchase of a new life insurance contract or a change in an existing contract should consult a tax adviser.

Page 72

Additionally, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Act”) prohibits, with limited exceptions, publicly-traded companies, including non-U.S. companies that have securities listed on exchanges in the United States, from extending, directly or through a subsidiary, many types of personal loans to their directors or executive officers. It is possible that this prohibition may be interpreted as applying to split-dollar life insurance policies for directors and executive officers of such companies, since such insurance arguably can be viewed as involving a loan from the employer for at least some purposes. Any affected business contemplating the payment of a premium on an existing Policy, or the purchase of a new Policy, in connection with a split-dollar life insurance arrangement should consult legal counsel.

Alternative Minimum Tax. There may also be an indirect tax upon the income in the Policy or the proceeds of a Policy under the federal corporate alternative minimum tax, if the Policy Owner is subject to that tax.

Estate, Gift and Generation-Skipping Transfer Taxes. The transfer of the Policy or designation of a Beneficiary may have federal, state, and/or local transfer and inheritance tax consequences, including the imposition of gift, estate, and generation-skipping transfer taxes. For example, upon the second death, the death proceeds will generally be includable in the Policy Owner’s estate for purposes of federal estate tax if an insured owned the Policy. If the Policy Owner was not an insured, the fair market value of the Policy would be included in the Policy Owner’s estate upon the Policy Owner’s death. The Policy would not be includable in an insured’s estate if such insured neither retained incidents of Ownership at death nor had given up Ownership within three years before death.

Moreover, under certain circumstances, the Code may impose a “generation skipping transfer tax” when all or part of a life insurance Policy is transferred to, or a Death Benefit is paid to, an individual two or more generations younger than the Policy Owner. Regulations issued under the Code may require us to deduct the tax from your Policy, or from any applicable payment, and pay it directly to the IRS.

Qualified tax advisers should be consulted concerning the estate and gift tax consequences of Policy Ownership and distributions under federal, state and local law. The individual situation of each Owner or Beneficiary will determine the extent, if any, to which federal, state, and local transfer and inheritance taxes may be imposed and how Ownership or receipt of Policy proceeds will be treated for purposes of federal, state and local estate, inheritance, generation-skipping and other taxes.

Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) signed into law in December 2017 establishes new exclusion amounts for transfer taxes resulting from deaths, gifts, and generation skipping transfers that occur after December 31, 2017. The estate, gift, and generation skipping transfer tax exclusion amounts established under TCJA are annually adjusted for inflation. TCJA did not change estate and gift tax rates and the new exclusion amounts are scheduled to expire in years beginning after December 31, 2025.

For 2022, the federal estate tax, gift tax, and GST tax exemptions and maximum rates are $12,060,000 and 40%, respectively.

The Code’s complexity, together with how it may affect existing estate planning, underscores the importance of seeking guidance from a qualified adviser to help ensure that your estate plan adequately addresses your needs and that of your Beneficiaries under all possible scenarios.

You should understand that the foregoing description of the federal income, gift and estate tax consequences under the Policies is not exhaustive and that special rules may apply to situations not discussed. Statutory changes in the Code, with varying effective dates, and regulations adopted

Page 73

thereunder may also alter the tax consequences of specific factual situations. Due to the complexity of the applicable laws, a person contemplating the purchase of a variable life insurance policy or exercising elections under such a policy should consult a tax adviser.

Tax Shelter Regulations. Prospective Owners that are corporations should consult a tax advisor about the treatment of the policy under the Treasury Regulations applicable to corporate tax shelters.

Medicare Tax on Investment Income. Beginning in 2013, a 3.8% tax may be applied to some or all of the taxable portion of some distributions (such as payments under certain settlement options) from life insurance contracts to individuals whose income exceeds certain threshold amounts ($200,000 for filing single, $250,000 for married filing jointly and $125,000 for married filing separately.) Please consult a tax advisor for more information.

Life Insurance Purchases by Residents of Puerto Rico. In Rev. Rul. 2004-75, 2004-31 I.R.B. 109, the Internal Revenue Service announced that income received by residents of Puerto Rico under life insurance contracts issued by a Puerto Rico branch of a United States life insurance company is U.S.-source income that is generally subject to United States federal income tax.

Life Insurance Purchases by Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Corporations. Purchasers that are not U.S. citizens or residents will generally be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax on taxable distributions from life insurance policies at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In addition, such purchasers may be subject to state and/or municipal taxes and taxes that may be imposed by the purchaser’s country of citizenship or residence. Additional withholding may occur with respect to entity purchasers (including foreign corporations, partnerships, and trusts) that are not U.S. residents. Prospective purchasers that are not U.S. citizens or residents are advised to consult with a qualified tax adviser regarding U.S. and foreign taxation with respect to a life insurance policy purchase.

Last Survivor Contract. Although we believe that the Policy, when issued as a last survivor contract, complies with Section 7702 of the Code, the manner in which Section7702 should be applied to last survivor contracts is not directly addressed by Section 7702. In the absence of final regulations or other guidance issued under Section 7702 regarding this form of contract, there is necessarily some uncertainty whether a last survivor contract will meet the Section7702 definition of a life insurance contract. As a result, we may need to return a portion of your Premium (with earnings) and impose higher Cost of Insurance Charges in the future. Due to the coverage of more than one insured under the Policy, there are special considerations in applying the 7-Pay Test. For example, a reduction in the death benefit at any time, such as may occur upon a partial surrender, may cause the Policy to be a MEC. Also, and more generally, the manner of applying the 7-Pay Test is somewhat uncertain in the case of policies covering more than one insured.

Legal Proceedings

Like other life insurance companies, we are involved in lawsuits, including class action lawsuits. In some class action and other lawsuits involving insurers, substantial damages have been sought and/or material settlement payments have been made. Although the outcome of any litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that, as of the date of this prospectus, there are no pending or threatened lawsuits that will have a materially adverse impact on the Individual Variable Universal Life Account, the ability of Securian Financial Services, Inc. to perform its contract with the Individual Variable Universal Life Account, or the ability of Minnesota Life to meet its obligations under the Policies. In addition, we are, from time to time, involved as a party to various governmental and administrative proceedings. There are no pending or threatened lawsuits that will materially impact the Individual Variable Universal Life Account.

The Statement of Additional Information is available, free of charge, from us upon request.

Other Policy Provisions

Deferral of Payment

Normally, we will pay any proceeds under the Policy within seven days after our receipt of all the documents required for such payment. Other than the death proceeds, which are determined as of the date of the second death, we will determine the amount of payment as of the end of the Valuation Date on which we receive the request in Good Order at our Home Office.

We reserve the right to defer the payment of proceeds under the Policy, including Policy loans, for up to six months from the date of your request, if such payment would be taken from your Accumulation Value in the Guaranteed Interest Account or the Fixed Indexed Accounts. In that case, if we postpone payment, other than a Policy loan payment, for more than 31 days, we will pay you interest at 2 percent annual rate for the period beyond 31 days that payment has been postponed. We reserve the right to defer the payment of surrender, partial surrender, loan and Death Benefit proceeds from the Sub-Accounts and process transfers for the following: (a) any period during which the New York Stock Exchange is closed for trading (except for normal holiday closing); (b) when the SEC has determined that a state of emergency exists which may make such payment impractical; or (c) the SEC, by order, permits deferral for the protection of Policy Owners.

If mandated under applicable law, we may block an Owner’s account and thereby refuse to pay any request for surrender, partial surrender, transfer, loans or Death Benefit proceeds until instructions are received from the appropriate regulator. We may also be required to provide additional information about an Owner and the Owner’s account to government regulators.

Beneficiary

When we receive proof satisfactory to us of the second death, we will pay the death proceeds of a Policy to the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries named in the Application for the Policy unless the Owner has changed the Beneficiary. In that event, we will pay the death proceeds to the Beneficiary named in the last change of Beneficiary request.

If a Beneficiary dies before the second death, that Beneficiary’s interest in the Policy ends with that Beneficiary’s death. Only Beneficiaries who survive the second death will be eligible to share in the death proceeds. If no Beneficiary survives the second death, we will pay the death proceeds of this Policy to the Owner, if living, otherwise to the Owner’s estate, or, if the Owner is a corporation, to it or its successor.

You may change the Beneficiary designated to receive the proceeds. If you have reserved the right to change the Beneficiary, you can file a Written Request with us to change the Beneficiary. If you have not reserved the right to change the Beneficiary, we will require the written consent of the irrevocable Beneficiary.

Page 75

Your Written Request to change the Beneficiary will not be effective until it is recorded at our Home Office. After it has been so recorded, it will take effect as of the date you signed the request. However, if the second death occurs before the request has been so recorded, the request will not be effective as to any Death Benefit proceeds we have paid before your request was recorded in our Home Office records.

Settlement Options

There are several ways of receiving proceeds under the Death Benefit and surrender provisions of the Policy, other than in a lump sum. We will pay the proceeds in a lump sum unless a settlement option has been selected. We will deduct any outstanding policy loan, any accrued loan interest and unpaid monthly charges from the proceeds we pay. Proof of any claim under this Policy must be submitted in writing to our Home Office.

We will pay interest on any Death Benefit proceeds payable if payment is to be made in a lump sum. Interest will accrue on the Death Benefit proceeds payable from the date of the second death until the date of payment. Interest will be credited at a rate which we shall determine in our discretion. Such credited interest will never be less than a 1 percent annual rate.

A Beneficiary may request that we pay the proceeds of the Policy under one of the settlement options described below. We may also offer other methods of payment that are agreeable to both the Beneficiary and us. A settlement option may be selected only if payments are to be made to a natural person in that person’s own right.

A Beneficiary may also choose to place the proceeds in a Minnesota Life Benefit Account until such Beneficiary elects a single sum payment or a settlement option. The Benefit Account is an interest-bearing account. Account information, along with a book of drafts (which will function like a checkbook), will be sent to the Beneficiary, and the Beneficiary will have access to funds in the account simply by writing a draft for all or part of the amount of the available balance, and depositing or using the draft as desired. When the draft is paid through the bank that administers the account for Minnesota Life, the bank will receive the amount the Beneficiary requests as a transfer from our General Account. The Benefit Account is not a bank account, and it is not insured by the FDIC or any other government agency. As part of our General Account, the Benefit Account is backed by the financial strength of Minnesota Life, although it is subject to the claims of our creditors. We receive a benefit from amounts left in the Benefit Account. We pay interest on proceeds held in the Benefit Account as required by state law. Any interest paid on proceeds in the Benefit Account is currently taxable.

Each settlement option described below is payable only in fixed amounts. The payments do not vary with the investment performance of the Account.

Option 1 - Interest Payments

We will pay interest on the proceeds at such times and for such period that is agreeable to the Beneficiary and us. Withdrawals of proceeds may be made in amounts of at least $500. At the end of the period, any remaining proceeds will be paid in either a lump sum or under any other method we approve.

Option 2 - Payments for a Specified Period

We will make payments for a specified number of years.

Option 3 - Life Income

Page 76

We will make payments monthly during the lifetime of a payee, terminating with the last monthly payment immediately preceding the payee’s death. We may require proof of the payee’s Age and gender. Monthly payments can be guaranteed for 5, 10 or 20 years.

Option 4 - Payments of a Specified Amount

We will pay a specified amount until the proceeds and interest thereto are fully paid.

If the Beneficiary requests a settlement option, he or she will be asked to sign an Agreement covering the settlement option which will state the terms and conditions of the payments. Unless the Beneficiary specifies otherwise, the Beneficiary may select a settlement option after the second death.

The minimum rate of interest we will credit under any settlement option is a 1 percent annual rate of interest. We may, in our sole discretion, credit higher rates of interest on monies held by us in our General Account which are to be paid under a settlement option.

Abandoned Property Requirements

Every state has unclaimed property laws which generally declare insurance policies to be abandoned after a period of inactivity of three to five years from the policy’s maturity date or date the Death Benefit is due and payable. For example, if the payment of Death Benefit proceeds has been triggered, but, if after a thorough search, we are still unable to locate the Beneficiary, or the Beneficiary does not come forward to claim the Death Benefit proceeds in a timely manner, the Death Benefit proceeds will be paid to the abandoned property division or unclaimed property office of the state in which the Beneficiary or you last resided, as shown on our books and records, or to our state of domicile. This “escheatment” is revocable, however, and the state is obligated to pay the Death Benefit proceeds (without interest) if your Beneficiary steps forward to claim it with the proper documentation. To prevent such escheatment, it is important that you update your Beneficiary designations, including addresses, if and as they change. Please call us at 1-844-208-2412 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Central time, to make such changes.

General Information and History

We are Minnesota Life Insurance Company (“Minnesota Life”), a life insurance company organized under the laws of Minnesota. Minnesota Life was formerly known as The Minnesota Mutual Life Insurance Company (“Minnesota Mutual”), a mutual life insurance company organized in 1880 under the laws of Minnesota. Effective October 1, 1998, Minnesota Mutual reorganized by forming a mutual insurance holding company named “Minnesota Mutual Companies, Inc.” Minnesota Mutual continued its corporate existence following conversion to a Minnesota stock life insurance company named “Minnesota Life Insurance Company.” All of the shares of the voting stock of Minnesota Life are owned by a second tier intermediate stock holding company named “Securian Financial Group, Inc.,” which in turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of a first tier intermediate stock holding company named “Securian Holding Company,” which in turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the ultimate parent, Minnesota Mutual Companies, Inc.

Our Home Office is at 400 Robert Street North, St. Paul, Minnesota 55101-2098, telephone: (651) 665-3500. We are licensed to conduct life insurance business in all states of the United States (except New York where we are an authorized reinsurer), the District of Columbia, Canada and Puerto Rico.

On June 11, 2007, our Board of Directors established a separate account, called the Minnesota Life Individual Variable Universal Life Account (“the Account”), in accordance with certain provisions of the Minnesota insurance law. The Account is registered as a unit investment trust separate account with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”). Registration under the 1940 Act does not signify that the SEC supervises the management, or the investment practices or policies, of the Account.

Non-Principal Risks of Investing in the Contract

Cybersecurity. Our variable insurance product business is highly dependent upon the effective operations of our computer systems computer systems and those of our business partners, so our business is potentially susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from a cyber-attack. These risks include, among other things, the theft, 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, the Portfolios, intermediaries and other affiliated or third-party service providers may adversely affect our and your product values. For instance, cyber-attacks may interfere with our processing of contract transactions (including the processing of orders through our online service centers or with the Portfolios), impact our ability to calculate values, 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 Portfolios invest, which may cause the Portfolios to lose value. While the Company has implemented administrative, technical and physical safeguards that are reasonably designed to protect confidential customer information and confidential business information, there can be no assurance that we or the Portfolios or our service

providers will avoid losses affecting your Policy due to cyber-attacks or information security breaches in the future.

Additional Information

Assignment. The Policy may be assigned. Any assignment must be in writing and filed at our Home Office. You may assign this policy by forwarding to us a Written Request in Good Order in advance of such assignment. We reserve the right, except to the extent prohibited by applicable state law or regulation or by the action of the appropriate state regulatory authority, or any agency or officer performing like functions of the applicable State, to require that assignment will be effective only upon our acceptance, and to refuse assignments at any time on a non-discriminatory basis. No assignment applies to any action we take before receiving your Written Request. We assume no responsibility for the validity or effect of any assignment of the Policy or of any interest in it. Any proceeds which become payable to an assignee will be payable in a single sum. Any claim made by an assignee will be subject to proof of the assignee’s interest and the extent of the assignment.

Misstatement of Age or Gender. If an insured’s Age or gender has been misstated, we will adjust the proceeds payable under the Policy based on what the last monthly charges would have purchased at the correct Age or gender.

Incontestability. After a Policy has been in force during the lifetime of the surviving insured for two years from the original Policy Date, we may not contest the Policy, except in the case of fraud. However, if there has been a policy change or reinstatement for which we required evidence of insurability, we may contest that policy change or reinstatement for two years with respect to information provided at that time, during the lifetime of the surviving insured, from the effective date of the policy change or reinstatement.

Suicide. If both insureds, or the last surviving insured, whether sane or insane, dies by suicide, within two years of the original Policy Date, our liability will be limited to an amount equal to the premiums paid for the Policy less any policy loan, unpaid loan interest and partial surrenders. If there has been a policy change or reinstatement for which we required evidence of insurability, and if both insureds, or the last surviving insured, dies by suicide within two years from the effective date of the policy change or reinstatement, our liability with respect to the policy change or reinstatement will be limited to an amount equal to the portion of the monthly charges associated with that policy change or reinstatement.

Variable Universal Life Survivor VUL

Reports. At least once each year we will send you a report. This report will include the Accumulation Value, the Face Amount and the Death Benefit as of the date of the report. It will also show the premiums paid during the Policy Year and policy loan activity. We will send the report to you without cost. The information in the report will be current as of a date within two months of its mailing.

Underwriters

The Policies are sold in a continuous offering by state licensed life insurance producers who are also registered representatives of Securian Financial Services, Inc. (“Securian Financial”) or other broker-dealers who have entered into selling Agreements with Securian Financial. We anticipate continuing to offer the Policies, but reserve the right to discontinue the offering. Securian Financial acts as principal underwriter for the Policies. Both Securian Financial and Minnesota Life are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Securian Financial Group, Inc., which is a second-tier subsidiary of a mutual insurance holding company called Minnesota Mutual Companies, Inc.

Securian Financial, whose address is 400 Robert Street North, St. Paul, Minnesota 55101-2098, is registered as a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). Securian Financial was incorporated in 1984 under the laws of the State of Minnesota.

Compensation. We pay compensation to affiliated and unaffiliated broker-dealers for the sale of the Policies. The compensation that we pay to broker-dealers for the sale of the Polices is generally not expected to exceed, on a present value basis, the aggregate amount of compensation that we pay with respect to sales made by registered representatives of Securian Financial. Broker-dealers pay their sales representatives all or a portion of the commissions received for their sales of the Policy.

Amounts paid by Minnesota Life to the underwriters of the Policies during 2021, 2020, and 2019 were $43,727,770, $17,357,905, and $14,760,018, respectively, which include amounts paid for other contracts issued through the Individual Variable Universal Life Account.

Underwriting Procedures

We require proof of insurability for policy issue and all policy changes resulting in an increase in the Net Amount at Risk under the Policy. Proof of insurability and classification for cost of insurance charges are determined by our underwriting rules and procedures which utilize factors such as Age, gender, health and occupation. Persons who present a lower mortality risk are charged the most favorable cost of insurance rates. Requirements may be waived or modified for Policies issued as a result of conversion from existing Policies, for Policies issued as part of a small group case.

The basis for the mortality charges guaranteed in the Policies are determined by the gender, tobacco habits, and Age of each insured and are based on the [2017 Commissioners Standard Ordinary Gender Distinct, Tobacco Distinct, Age Nearest Birthday, Ultimate Mortality Table].

Item 33. Indemnification

The State of Minnesota has an indemnification statute (Minnesota Statutes 300.083), as amended, effective January 1, 1984, which requires indemnification of individuals only under the circumstances described by the statute. Expenses incurred in the defense of any action, including attorneys’ fees, may be advanced to the individual after written request by the board of directors upon receiving an undertaking from the individual to repay any amount advanced unless it is ultimately determined that he or she is entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized by the statute and after a determination that the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude indemnification.

Indemnification is required for persons made a part to a proceeding by reason of their official capacity so long as they acted in good faith, received no improper personal benefit and have not been indemnified by another organization. In the case of a criminal proceeding, they must also have had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. In respect to other acts arising out of official capacity: (1) where the person is acting directly for the corporation there must be a reasonable belief by the person that his or her conduct was in the best interests of the corporation or, (2) where the person is serving another organization or plan at the request of the corporation, the person must have reasonably believed that his or her conduct was not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. In the case of persons not directors, officers or policy-making employees, determination of eligibility for indemnification may be made by a board-appointed committee of which a director is a member. For other employees, directors and officers, the determination of eligibility is made by the Board or a committee of the Board, special legal counsel, the shareholder of the corporation or pursuant to a judicial proceeding.

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (”the Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Minnesota Life Insurance Company and the Minnesota Life Individual Variable Universal Life Account pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, Minnesota Life Insurance Company and the Minnesota Life Individual Variable Universal Life Account have 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 such liabilities (other than the payment by Minnesota Life Insurance Company and the Minnesota Life Individual Variable Universal Life Account of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of Minnesota Life Insurance Company and the Minnesota Life Individual Variable Universal Life Account in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer of controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, Minnesota Life Insurance Company and the Minnesota Life Individual Variable Universal Life Account 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.
