HIGHLIGHTS
The variable annuity contract that we are offering is a contract between you, the Owner, and us, the insurance company, where you agree to make at least one Purchase Payment to us and we agree to make a series of Annuity Payments at a later date. The contract has a maximum issue age and you should consult with your financial representative. The contract provides a means for investing on a tax-deferred basis in our Fixed Account and the Investment Portfolios. The contract is intended for retirement savings or other long-term investment purposes. When you purchase the contract, you can choose an additional death benefit and fixed and variable income options. We are obligated to pay all money we owe under the contracts, including death benefits and income payments. Any such amount that exceeds the assets in the Separate Account is paid from our general account, subject to our financial strength and claims-paying ability and our long-term ability to make such payments, and is not guaranteed by any other party. (See “Other Information — The Separate Account.”)
The contract, like all deferred annuity contracts, has two phases: the Accumulation Phase and the Income Phase. During the Accumulation Phase, earnings accumulate on a tax-deferred basis and are taxed as income when you make a withdrawal. If you make a withdrawal during the Accumulation Phase, we may assess a withdrawal charge of up to 8%. Certain withdrawals, depending on the amount and timing, may negatively impact the benefits and guarantees provided by your contract. You should carefully consider whether a withdrawal under a particular circumstance will have any negative impact to your benefits or guarantees. The impact of withdrawals generally on your benefits and guarantees is discussed in the corresponding sections of the prospectus describing such benefits and guarantees. If you die during the Accumulation Phase, your Beneficiary (or Beneficiaries) will receive the death benefit under your contract (see “Death Benefit” for more information).
The Income Phase occurs when you or a designated payee begin receiving regular Annuity Payments from your contract. You and the Annuitant (the person on whose life we base Annuity Payments) do not have to be the same, unless you purchase a tax qualified contract.
You can have Annuity Payments made on a variable basis, a fixed basis, or a combination of both. If you choose variable Annuity Payments, the amount of the variable Annuity Payments will depend upon the investment
performance of the Investment Portfolio(s) you select for the Income Phase. If you choose fixed Annuity Payments, the amount of each payment will not change during the Income Phase. There is no death benefit during the Income Phase, however, depending on the Annuity Option you elect, any remaining guarantee (i.e., cash refund amount or guaranteed Annuity Payments) will be paid to your Beneficiary (or Beneficiaries) (see “Annuity Payments (The Income Phase)” for more information).
Tax Deferral and Qualified Plans. The contracts are offered for individuals and some tax qualified and non-tax qualified retirement plans. For any tax qualified account (e.g., an IRA), the tax deferred accrual feature is provided by the tax qualified retirement plan. Therefore, there should be reasons other than tax deferral for acquiring the contract within a qualified plan. (See “Federal Income Tax Status.”)
State Variations. Contracts issued in your state may provide different features and benefits from, and impose different costs than, those described in this prospectus because of state law variations. These differences include, among other things, Free Look rights, age issuance limitations, transfer rights and limitations, the right to reject Purchase Payments, the right to assess transfer fees, requirements for unisex annuity rates, the general availability of certain riders, and the availability of certain features of riders. However, please note that the maximum fees and charges for all features and benefits are set forth in the fee table in this prospectus. This prospectus describes all the material features of the contract. If you would like to review a copy of the contract and any endorsements, contact our Annuity Service Center.
Free Look. You may cancel the contract within 10 days after receiving it (or whatever period is required in your state). If you mail your cancellation request, the request must be postmarked by the appropriate day; if you deliver your cancellation request by hand, it must be received by us by the appropriate day. Unless otherwise required by state law, you will receive whatever your contract is worth on the day that we receive your cancellation request and we will not deduct a withdrawal charge. The amount you receive may be more or less than your Purchase Payment depending upon the performance of the Investment Portfolios (and any interest credited by the Fixed Account, if applicable). You bear the risk of any decline in Account Value. We do not refund any charges or deductions assessed during the Free Look period. We will return your Purchase Payment if required by law.

Table of Contents
Tax Penalty. The earnings in your contract are not taxed until you take money out of your contract. If you take money out of a Non-Qualified Contract during the Accumulation Phase, for tax purposes any earnings are deemed to come out first. If you are younger than 59 12 when you take money out, you may be charged a 10% federal tax penalty on those earnings. Payments during the Income Phase are considered partly a return of your original investment until your investment is returned.
Non-Natural Persons as Owners. If the Owner of a non-qualified annuity contract is not a natural person (e.g., a corporation, partnership or certain trusts), gains under the contract are generally not eligible for tax deferral. The Owner of this contract can be a natural person, a trust established for the exclusive benefit of a natural person, a charitable remainder trust or other trust arrangement (if approved by us). The Owner of this contract can also be a Beneficiary of a deceased person's contract that is an Individual Retirement Account or non-qualified deferred annuity. A contract generally may have two Owners (both of whom must be individuals). The contract is not available to corporations or other business organizations, except to the extent an employer is the purchaser of a SEP or SIMPLE IRA contract. Subject to state approval, certain retirement plans qualified under the Internal Revenue Code may purchase the contract. If a non-natural person is the Owner of a Non-Qualified Contract, the distribution on death rules under the Internal Revenue Code may require payment to begin earlier than expected and may impact the usefulness of the death benefits.
Non-Natural Persons as Beneficiaries. Naming a non-natural person, such as a trust or estate, as a Beneficiary under the contract will generally eliminate the Beneficiary's ability to stretch the contract or a spousal Beneficiary's ability to continue the contract and the living and/or death benefits.

The information shown in the table above was provided by the Investment Portfolios. Certain Investment Portfolios and their investment adviser have entered into expense reimbursement and/or fee waiver arrangements that will continue at least until April 30, 2022. These arrangements can be terminated with respect to these Investment Portfolios only with the approval of the Investment Portfolio's board of directors or trustees. Please see the Investment Portfolios’ prospectuses for additional information regarding these arrangements.
Certain Investment Portfolios that have “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses” are “funds of funds.” A fund of funds invests substantially all of its assets in other underlying funds. Because the Investment Portfolio invests in other funds, it will bear its pro rata portion of the operating expenses of those underlying funds, including the management fee.

Examples
These Examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include Owner Transaction Expenses, the Account Fee, Separate Account Annual Expenses, and Investment Portfolio Fees and Expenses.
The Examples assume that you invest $10,000 in the contract for the time periods indicated. The Examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each year and assume: (a) maximum and (b) minimum fees and expenses of any of the Investment Portfolios (before any waiver and/or reimbursement). Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:
Chart 1. Chart 1 assumes you select the optional Annual Step-Up Death Benefit rider and the Additional Death Benefit — Earnings Preservation Benefit rider, which is the most expensive way to purchase the contract.

THE ANNUITY CONTRACT
This prospectus describes the variable annuity contract offered by us.
The variable annuity contract is a contract between you as the Owner, and us, the insurance company, where we promise to pay an income to you, in the form of Annuity Payments, beginning on a designated date that you select. Until you decide to begin receiving Annuity Payments, your annuity is in the Accumulation Phase. If you die during the Accumulation Phase, your Beneficiary(or Beneficiaries) will receive the death benefit under your contract (see “Death Benefit” for more information). Once you begin receiving Annuity Payments, your contract switches to the Income Phase. There is no death benefit during the Income Phase; however, depending on the Annuity Option you elect, any remaining guarantee may be paid to your Beneficiary(or Beneficiaries) (see “Annuity Payments (The Income Phase)” for more information).
The contract benefits from tax deferral. Tax deferral means that you are not taxed on earnings or appreciation on the assets in your contract until you take money out of your contract. For any tax qualified account (e.g., an IRA), the tax deferred accrual feature is provided by the tax qualified retirement plan. Therefore, there should be reasons other than tax deferral for acquiring the contract within a qualified plan. (See “Federal Income Tax Status.”)
The contract is called a variable annuity because you can choose among the Investment Portfolios and, depending upon market conditions, you can make or lose money in any of these portfolios. If you select the variable annuity portion of the contract, the amount of money you are able to accumulate in your contract during the Accumulation Phase depends upon the investment performance of the Investment Portfolio(s) you select. The amount of the Annuity Payments you receive during the Income Phase from the variable annuity portion of the contract also depends, in part, upon the investment performance of the Investment Portfolio(s) you select for the Income Phase. We do not guarantee the investment performance of the variable annuity portion. You bear the full investment risk for all amounts allocated to the variable annuity portion.
In most states, the contract also contains a Fixed Account option (contact your financial representative regarding your state). The Fixed Account is part of our general account and offers an interest rate that is guaranteed by us. The minimum interest rate depends on the date your contract is issued but will not be less than 1%. Your
financial representative can tell you the current and minimum interest rates that apply. Because of exemptive and exclusionary provisions, interests in the Fixed Account have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, and neither the Fixed Account nor the general account has been registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. If you select the Fixed Account, your money will be placed with our other general account assets, and the amount of money you are able to accumulate in your contract during the Accumulation Phase depends upon the total interest credited to your contract. The Fixed Account is part of our general account. Our general account consists of all assets owned by us other than those in the Separate Account and our other separate accounts. We have sole discretion over the investment of assets in the general account. If you select a fixed Annuity Payment option during the Income Phase, payments are made from our general account assets. All guarantees as to Purchase Payments or Account Value allocated to the Fixed Account, interest credited to the Fixed Account, and fixed Annuity Payments are subject to our financial strength and claims-paying ability.
The amount of the Annuity Payments you receive during the Income Phase from a fixed Annuity Payment option of the contract will remain level for the entire Income Phase. (Please see “Annuity Payments (The Income Phase)” for more information.)
As Owner of the contract, you exercise all interests and rights under the contract. You can change the Owner at any time, subject to our underwriting rules (see “Death Benefit” for information on how a change of ownership may affect the death benefit). The contract may be owned generally by Joint Owners (limited to two natural persons). We provide more information on this under “Other Information — Ownership.”
All contract provisions will be interpreted and administered in accordance with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). Any Code references to “spouses” include those persons who enter into lawful marriages under state law, regardless of sex.
PURCHASE
We reserve the right to reject any application.
Purchase Payments
A Purchase Payment is the money you give us to invest in the contract. The initial Purchase Payment is due on the date the contract is issued. You may also be permitted to
12

 


Table of Contents
make subsequent Purchase Payments. Initial and subsequent Purchase Payments are subject to certain requirements. These requirements are explained below. We may restrict your ability to make subsequent Purchase Payments. The manner in which subsequent Purchase Payments may be restricted is discussed below.
General Requirements for Purchase Payments. The following requirements apply to initial and subsequent Purchase Payments:
The minimum initial Purchase Payment we will accept is $5,000.
The maximum total Purchase Payments for the contract is $1,000,000, without prior approval from us.
The minimum subsequent Purchase Payment is $500 unless you have elected an electronic funds transfer program approved by us, in which case the minimum subsequent Purchase Payment is $100 per month.
We will accept a different amount if required by federal tax law.
We reserve the right to refuse Purchase Payments made via a personal check in excess of $100,000. Purchase Payments over $100,000 may be accepted in other forms, including, but not limited to, EFT/wire transfers, certified checks, corporate checks, and checks written on financial institutions. The form in which we receive a Purchase Payment may determine how soon subsequent disbursement requests may be fulfilled. (See “Access to Your Money.”)
We will not accept Purchase Payments made with cash, money orders, or travelers checks.
Restrictions on Subsequent Purchase Payments. We may restrict your ability to make subsequent Purchase Payments. We will notify you in advance if we impose restrictions on subsequent Purchase Payments. You and your financial representative should carefully consider whether our ability to restrict subsequent Purchase Payments is consistent with your investment objectives.
We reserve the right to reject any Purchase Payment and to limit future Purchase Payments. This means that we may restrict your ability to make subsequent Purchase Payments for any reason, subject to applicable requirements in your state. We may make certain exceptions to restrictions on subsequent Purchase Payments in accordance with our established administrative procedures.
Termination for Low Account Value
We may terminate your contract by paying you the Account Value in one sum if, prior to the Annuity Date, you do not make Purchase Payments for two consecutive Contract Years, the total amount of Purchase Payments made, less any partial withdrawals, is less than $2,000 or any lower amount required by federal tax laws, and the Account Value on or after the end of such two year period is less than $2,000. (A Contract Year is defined as a one-year period starting on the date the contract is issued and on each contract anniversary thereafter.) Accordingly, no contract will be terminated due solely to negative investment performance. Federal tax law may impose additional restrictions on our right to cancel your Traditional IRA, Roth IRA, SEP, SIMPLE IRA or other Qualified Contract. We will not terminate any contract that includes any guaranteed death benefit if at the time the termination would otherwise occur the guaranteed amount under any death benefit is greater than the Account Value. For all other contracts, we reserve the right to exercise this termination provision, subject to obtaining any required regulatory approvals.
Allocation of Purchase Payments
When you purchase a contract, we will allocate your Purchase Payment to the Fixed Account and/or any of the Investment Portfolios you have selected. You may not choose more than 18 Investment Portfolios (including the Fixed Account) at the time your initial Purchase Payment is allocated. Each allocation must be at least $500 and must be in whole numbers. In addition, see Appendix A and B to this prospectus for more information about available Investment Portfolios.
We have reserved the right to restrict payments to the Fixed Account if any of the following conditions exist:
the credited interest rate on the Fixed Account is equal to the guaranteed minimum rate indicated in your contract; or
your Account Value in the Fixed Account equals or exceeds our published maximum for Fixed Account allocation (currently, there is no limit; we will notify you of any such maximum allocation limit); or
a transfer was made out of the Fixed Account within the previous 180 days.
Once we receive your Purchase Payment and the necessary information (or a designee receives a payment and the necessary information in accordance with the designee’s
13

 


Table of Contents
administrative procedures), we will issue your contract and allocate your first Purchase Payment within 2 Business Days. A Business Day is each day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for business. A Business Day closes at the close of normal trading on the New York Stock Exchange, usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. If you do not give us all of the information we need, we will contact you to get it before we make any allocation. If for some reason we are unable to complete this process within 5 Business Days, we will either send back your money or get your permission to keep it until we get all of the necessary information. (See “Other Information — Requests and Elections.”) However, if you allocate Purchase Payments to a discontinued Investment Portfolio (see Appendix A), we will request reallocation instructions, or if we are unable to obtain such instructions, we will return your Purchase Payment to you.
If you make additional Purchase Payments, we will allocate them in the same way as your first Purchase Payment unless you tell us otherwise. However, if you make an additional Purchase Payment while a Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) program is in effect, we will not allocate the additional Purchase Payment to the DCA program, unless you tell us to do so. Instead, unless you give us other instructions, we will allocate the additional Purchase Payment directly to the same destination Investment Portfolios you selected under the DCA program. (See “Investment Options — Dollar Cost Averaging Program.”) You may change your allocation instructions at any time by notifying us in writing, by calling us or by Internet. You may not choose more than 18 Investment Portfolios (including the Fixed Account) at the time you submit a subsequent Purchase Payment. If you wish to allocate the payment to more than 18 Investment Portfolios (including the Fixed Account), we must have your request to allocate future Purchase Payments to more than 18 Investment Portfolios on record before we can apply your subsequent Purchase Payment to your chosen allocation. If there are Joint Owners, unless we are instructed to the contrary, we will accept allocation instructions from either Joint Owner.
We reserve the right to make certain changes to the Investment Portfolios. (See “Investment Options — Substitution of Investment Options.”)
Free Look
If you change your mind about owning this contract, you can cancel it within 10 days after receiving it (or the period required in your state).We ask that you submit your request to cancel in writing, signed by you, to our Annuity Service
Center. When you cancel the contract within this Free Look period, we will not assess a withdrawal charge. Unless otherwise required by state law, you will receive back whatever your contract is worth on the day we receive your request. This may be more or less than your Purchase Payment depending upon the performance of the Investment Portfolios (and any interest credited by the Fixed Account, if applicable) according to your Purchase Payment allocation during the Free Look period. This means that you bear the risk of any decline in the value of your contract due to Investment Portfolio performance during the Free Look period. We do not refund any charges or deductions assessed during the Free Look period. In certain states, we are required to give you back your Purchase Payment if you decide to cancel your contract during the Free Look period.
Accumulation Units
The portion of your Account Value allocated to the Separate Account will go up or down depending upon the investment performance of the Investment Portfolio(s) you choose. In order to keep track of this portion of your Account Value, we use a unit of measure we call an Accumulation Unit. (An Accumulation Unit works like a share of a mutual fund.) In addition to the investment performance of the Investment Portfolio, the deduction of Separate Account charges also affects an Investment Portfolio’s Accumulation Unit value, as explained below.
Every Business Day as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time), we determine the value of an Accumulation Unit for each of the Investment Portfolios by multiplying the Accumulation Unit value for the immediately preceding Business Day by a factor for the current Business Day. The factor is determined by:
1)    dividing the net asset value per share of the Investment Portfolio at the end of the current Business Day, plus any dividend or capital gains per share declared on behalf of the Investment Portfolio as of that day, by the net asset value per share of the Investment Portfolio for the previous Business Day, and
2)    multiplying it by one minus the Separate Account product charges (including any rider charge for the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit and/or the Additional Death Benefit — Earnings Preservation Benefit) for each day since the last Business Day and any charges for taxes.
14

 


Table of Contents
The value of an Accumulation Unit may go up or down from day to day.
When you make a Purchase Payment, we credit your contract with Accumulation Units. The number of Accumulation Units credited is determined by dividing the amount of the Purchase Payment allocated to an Investment Portfolio by the value of the Accumulation Unit for that Investment Portfolio.
Purchase Payments and transfer requests are credited to a contract on the basis of the Accumulation Unit value next determined after receipt of a Purchase Payment or transfer request. Purchase Payments or transfer requests received before the close of the New York Stock Exchange will be credited to your contract that day, after the New York Stock Exchange closes. Purchase Payments or transfer requests received after the close of the New York Stock Exchange, or on a day when the New York Stock Exchange is not open, will be treated as received on the next day the New York Stock Exchange is open (the next Business Day).
Example:
On Monday we receive an additional Purchase Payment of $5,000 from you before 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. You have told us you want this to go to the MFS® Research International Portfolio. When the New York Stock Exchange closes on that Monday, we determine that the value of an Accumulation Unit for the MFS® Research International Portfolio is $13.90. We then divide $5,000 by $13.90 and credit your contract on Monday night with 359.71 Accumulation Units for the MFS® Research International Portfolio.
Account Value
Account Value is equal to the sum of your interests in the Investment Portfolios and the Fixed Account. Your interest in each Investment Portfolio is determined by multiplying the number of Accumulation Units for that portfolio by the value of the Accumulation Unit.
Replacement of Contracts
Exchange Programs. From time to time we may offer programs under which certain fixed or variable annuity contracts previously issued by us or one of our affiliates may be exchanged for the contracts offered by this prospectus. You should carefully consider whether an exchange is appropriate for you by comparing the death benefits, living benefits, and other guarantees provided by the contract you currently own to the benefits and guarantees that would be provided by the new contract
offered by this prospectus. Then, you should compare the fees and charges (for example, the death benefit charges, the living benefit charges, and the mortality and expense charge) of your current contract to the fees and charges of the new contract, which may be higher than your current contract. The programs we offer will be made available on terms and conditions determined by us, and any such programs will comply with applicable law. We believe the exchanges will be tax free for federal income tax purposes; however, you should consult your tax adviser before making any such exchange.
Other Exchanges. Generally, you can exchange one variable annuity contract for another in a tax-free exchange under Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code. Before making an exchange, you should compare both annuities carefully. If you exchange another annuity for the one described in this prospectus, unless the exchange occurs under one of our exchange programs as described above, you might have to pay a withdrawal charge on your old annuity, and there will be a new withdrawal charge period for this contract. Other charges may be higher (or lower) and the benefits may be different. Also, because we will not issue the contract until we have received the initial premium from your existing insurance company, the issuance of the contract may be delayed. Generally, it is not advisable to purchase a contract as a replacement for an existing variable annuity contract. Before you exchange another annuity for our contract, ask your financial representative whether the exchange would be advantageous, given the contract features, benefits and charges.
INVESTMENT OPTIONS
The contract offers 33 Investment Portfolios, which are listed below. Additional Investment Portfolios may be available in the future.
You should read the prospectuses for these funds carefully before investing. You can obtain copies of the fund prospectuses by calling or writing to us at: Brighthouse Life Insurance Company, Variable and Fixed Annuity Products, P.O. Box 305075, Nashville, TN 37230-5075, (888) 243-1932. You can also obtain information about the funds (including a copy of the Statement of Additional Information) by accessing the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at http://www.sec.gov. Appendix B contains a summary of advisers,
15

 


Table of Contents
subadvisers, and investment objectives for each Investment Portfolio.
The investment objectives and policies of certain of the Investment Portfolios may be similar to the investment objectives and policies of other mutual funds that certain of the Investment Portfolios' investment advisers manage. Although the objectives and policies may be similar, the investment results of the Investment Portfolios may be higher or lower than the results of such other mutual funds. The investment advisers cannot guarantee, and make no representation, that the investment results of similar funds will be comparable even though the funds may have the same investment advisers. Also, in selecting your Investment Portfolios, you should be aware that certain Investment Portfolios may have similar investment objectives but differ with respect to fees and charges.
Shares of the Investment Portfolios may be offered to insurance company separate accounts of both variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts and to qualified plans. Due to differences in tax treatment and other considerations, the interests of various Owners participating in, and the interests of qualified plans investing in the Investment Portfolios may conflict. The Investment Portfolios will monitor events in order to identify the existence of any material irreconcilable conflicts and determine what action, if any, should be taken in response to any such conflict.
The Investment Portfolios listed below are managed in a way that is intended to minimize volatility of returns (referred to as a “managed volatility strategy”):
(a) AB Global Dynamic Allocation Portfolio
(b) AQR Global Risk Balanced Portfolio
(c) BlackRock Global Tactical Strategies Portfolio
(d) Brighthouse Balanced Plus Portfolio
(e) Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Portfolio
(f) JPMorgan Global Active Allocation Portfolio
(g) MetLife Multi-Index Targeted Risk Portfolio
(h) PanAgora Global Diversified Risk Portfolio
(i) Schroders Global Multi-Asset Portfolio
Stock prices fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and dramatically, due to factors affecting individual companies, particular industries or sectors or general market conditions. Bond prices may fluctuate because they move in the opposite direction of interest rates. Foreign investing carries
additional risks such as currency and market volatility. A managed volatility strategy is designed to reduce volatility of returns to the above Investment Portfolios from investing in stocks and bonds. This strategy seeks to reduce such volatility by “smoothing” returns, which may result in an Investment Portfolio outperforming the general securities market during periods of flat or negative market performance, and underperforming the general securities market during periods of positive market performance. This means that in periods of high market volatility, this managed volatility strategy could limit your participation in market gains; this may conflict with your investment objectives by limiting your ability to maximize potential growth of your Account Value and, in turn, the value of any guaranteed benefit that is tied to investment performance. Other Investment Portfolios may offer the potential for higher returns.
If you elect certain optional riders, you will be subject to investment allocation restrictions that include these Investment Portfolios. This is intended in part to reduce the risk of investment losses that could require us to use our own assets to make payments in connection with the guarantees under those riders. You pay an additional fee for a guaranteed benefit which, in part, pays for protecting the rider benefit base from investment losses. Since the rider benefit base does not decrease as a result of investment losses, a managed volatility strategy might not provide meaningful additional benefit to you. Please see the Investment Portfolio prospectuses for more information in general, as well as more information about the managed volatility strategy.
Certain Payments We Receive with Regard to the Investment Portfolios. An investment adviser (other than our affiliate Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC) or subadviser of an Investment Portfolio, or its affiliates, may make payments to us and/or certain of our affiliates. Prior to March 6, 2017, Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC was known as MetLife Advisers, LLC. These payments may be used for a variety of purposes, including payment of expenses for certain administrative, marketing, and support services with respect to the contracts and, in our role as an intermediary, with respect to the Investment Portfolios. We and our affiliates may profit from these payments. These payments may be derived, in whole or in part, from the advisory fee deducted from Investment Portfolio assets. Contract Owners, through their indirect investment in the Investment Portfolios, bear the costs of these advisory fees (see the prospectuses for the Investment
16

 


Table of Contents
Portfolios for more information). The amount of the payments we receive is based on a percentage of assets of the Investment Portfolios attributable to the contracts and certain other variable insurance products that we and our affiliates issue. These percentages differ and some advisers or subadvisers (or their affiliates) may pay us more than others. These percentages currently range up to 0.50%.
Additionally, an investment adviser (other than our affiliate Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC) or subadviser of an Investment Portfolio or its affiliates may provide us with wholesaling services that assist in the distribution of the contracts and may pay us and/or certain of our affiliates amounts to participate in sales meetings. These amounts may be significant and may provide the adviser or subadviser (or its affiliate) with increased access to persons involved in the distribution of the contracts.
We and/or certain of our affiliated insurance companies have joint ownership interests in our affiliated investment adviser, Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC, which is formed as a “limited liability company.” Our ownership interests in Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC entitle us to profit distributions if the adviser makes a profit with respect to the advisory fees it receives from the Investment Portfolios. We will benefit accordingly from assets allocated to the Investment Portfolios to the extent they result in profits to the adviser. (See “Fee Tables and Examples — Investment Portfolio Fees and Expenses” for information on the management fees paid by the Investment Portfolios and the Statements of Additional Information for the Investment Portfolios for information on the management fees paid by the adviser to the subadvisers.)
Certain Investment Portfolios have adopted a Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. (See “Fee Tables and Examples — Investment Portfolio Fees and Expenses” for the amounts of the 12b-1 fees.) An Investment Portfolio's 12b-1 Plan, if any, is described in more detail in the Investment Portfolio's prospectus. Any payments we receive pursuant to those 12b-1 Plans are paid to us or our distributor. (See “Other Information — Distributor” for more information.) Payments under an Investment Portfolio's 12b-1 Plan decrease the Investment Portfolio's investment return.
We select the Investment Portfolios offered through this contract based on a number of criteria, including asset class coverage, the strength of the adviser's or subadviser's reputation and tenure, brand recognition, performance,
and the capability and qualification of each investment firm. Another factor we consider during the selection process is whether the Investment Portfolio's adviser or subadviser is one of our affiliates or whether the Investment Portfolio, its adviser, its subadviser(s), or an affiliate will make payments to us or our affiliates. In this regard, the profit distributions we receive from our affiliated investment adviser are a component of the total revenue that we consider in configuring the features and investment choices available in the variable insurance products that we and our affiliated insurance companies issue. Since we and our affiliated insurance companies may benefit more from the allocation of assets to portfolios advised by our affiliates than to those that are not, we may be more inclined to offer portfolios advised by our affiliates in the variable insurance products we issue. We review the Investment Portfolios periodically and may remove an Investment Portfolio or limit its availability to new Purchase Payments and/or transfers of Account Value if we determine that the Investment Portfolio no longer meets one or more of the selection criteria, and/or if the Investment Portfolio has not attracted significant allocations from contract Owners. In some cases, we have included Investment Portfolios based on recommendations made by selling firms. These selling firms may receive payments from the Investment Portfolios they recommend and may benefit accordingly from the allocation of Account Value to such Investment Portfolios.
We do not provide any investment advice and do not recommend or endorse any particular Investment Portfolio. You bear the risk of any decline in the Account Value of your contract resulting from the performance of the Investment Portfolios you have chosen.

Transfers
General. You can transfer a portion of your Account Value among the Fixed Account and the Investment Portfolios. The contract provides that you can make a maximum of 12 transfers every year and that each transfer is made without charge. We measure a year from the anniversary of the day we issued your contract. We currently allow unlimited transfers but reserve the right to limit this in the future. We may also limit transfers in circumstances of frequent or large transfers, or other transfers we determine are or would be to the disadvantage of other contract Owners. (See “Restrictions on Frequent Transfers” and “Restrictions on Large Transfers” below.) We also may be required to suspend the right to transfers in certain circumstances (see “Access to Your Money Suspension of Payments or Transfers”). We are not currently charging a transfer fee, but we reserve the right to charge such a fee in the future. If such a charge were to be imposed, it would be $25 for each transfer over 12 in a year. The transfer fee will be deducted from the Investment Portfolio or Fixed Account from which the transfer is made. However, if the entire interest in an account is being transferred, the transfer fee will be deducted from the amount which is transferred.
You can make a transfer to or from any Investment Portfolio or the Fixed Account, subject to the limitations below. All transfers made on the same Business Day will be treated as one transfer. Transfers received before the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange will take effect as of the end of the Business Day. The following apply to any transfer:
Your request for transfer must clearly state which Investment Portfolio(s) or the Fixed Account are involved in the transfer.
Your request for transfer must clearly state how much the transfer is for.
The minimum amount you can transfer is $500 from an Investment Portfolio, or your entire interest in the
  Investment Portfolio, if less (this does not apply to pre-scheduled transfer programs).
The minimum amount that may be transferred from the Fixed Account is $500, or your entire interest in the Fixed Account. Transfers out of the Fixed Account during the Accumulation Phase are limited to the greater of: (a) 25% of the Fixed Account value at the beginning of the Contract Year, or (b) the amount transferred out of the Fixed Account in the prior Contract Year. Currently we are not imposing these restrictions on transfers out of the Fixed Account, but we have the right to reimpose them at any time. You should be aware that, if transfer restrictions are imposed, it may take a while (even if you make no additional Purchase Payments or transfers into the Fixed Account) to make a complete transfer of your Account Value from the Fixed Account. When deciding whether to invest in the Fixed Account it is important to consider whether the transfer restrictions fit your risk tolerance and time horizon.
You may not make a transfer to more than 18 Investment Portfolios (including the Fixed Account) at any time if the request is made by telephone to our voice response system or by Internet. A request to transfer to more than 18 Investment Portfolios (including the Fixed Account) may be made by calling or writing our Annuity Service Center.
During the Accumulation Phase, to the extent permitted by applicable law, during times of drastic economic or market conditions, we may suspend the transfer privilege temporarily without notice and treat transfer requests based on their separate components (a redemption order with simultaneous request for purchase of another Investment Portfolio). In such a case, the redemption order would be processed at the source Investment Portfolio's next determined Accumulation Unit value. However, the purchase of the new Investment Portfolio would be effective at the next determined Accumulation Unit value for the new Investment Portfolio only after we receive the proceeds from the source Investment Portfolio, or we otherwise receive cash on behalf of the source Investment Portfolio.
For transfers during the Accumulation Phase, we have reserved the right to restrict transfers to the Fixed Account if any one of the following conditions exist:

the credited interest rate on the Fixed Account is equal to the guaranteed minimum rate indicated in your contract; or
your Account Value in the Fixed Account equals or exceeds our published maximum for Fixed Account allocation (currently, there is no limit; we will notify you of any such maximum allocation limit); or
a transfer was made out of the Fixed Account within the previous 180 days.
During the Income Phase, you cannot make transfers from a fixed Annuity Payment option to the Investment Portfolios. You can, however, make transfers during the Income Phase from the Investment Portfolios to a fixed Annuity Payment option and among the Investment Portfolios.
Transfers by Telephone or Other Means. You may elect to make transfers by telephone, Internet or other means acceptable to us. To elect this option, you must first provide us with a notice or agreement in Good Order. If you own the contract with a Joint Owner, unless we are instructed otherwise, we will accept instructions from either you or the other Owner. (See “Other Information — Requests and Elections.”)
All transfers made on the same day will be treated as one transfer. A transfer will be made as of the end of the Business Day when we receive a notice containing all the required information necessary to process the request. We will consider telephone and Internet requests received after the close of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time), or on a day when the New York Stock Exchange is not open, to be received on the next day the New York Stock Exchange is open (the next Business Day).
Pre-Scheduled Transfer Program. There are certain programs that involve transfers that are pre-scheduled. When a transfer is made as a result of such a program, we do not count the transfer in determining the applicability of any transfer fee and certain minimums do not apply. The current pre-scheduled transfers are made in conjunction with the following: Dollar Cost Averaging Programs and Automatic Rebalancing Programs.
Restrictions on Frequent Transfers. Frequent requests from contract Owners to transfer Account Value may dilute the value of an Investment Portfolio’s shares if the frequent trading involves an attempt to take advantage of pricing inefficiencies created by a lag between a change
in the value of the securities held by the portfolio and the reflection of that change in the portfolio's share price (“arbitrage trading”). Frequent transfers involving arbitrage trading may adversely affect the long-term performance of the Investment Portfolios, which may in turn adversely affect contract Owners and other persons who may have an interest in the contracts (e.g., Annuitants and Beneficiaries).
We have policies and procedures that attempt to detect and deter frequent transfers in situations where we determine there is a potential for arbitrage trading. Currently, we believe that such situations may be presented in the international, small-cap, and high-yield Investment Portfolios. In addition, as described below, we monitor transfer activity in all American Funds Insurance Series® portfolios. We monitor transfer activity in the following portfolios (the “Monitored Portfolios”):
American Funds Global Growth Fund
American Funds Global Small Capitalization Fund
Clarion Global Real Estate Portfolio
ClearBridge Variable Small Cap Growth Portfolio
Invesco Small Cap Growth Portfolio
MFS® Research International Portfolio
Western Asset Management Strategic Bond Opportunities Portfolio
Western Asset Variable Global High Yield Bond Portfolio
We employ various means to monitor transfer activity, such as examining the frequency and size of transfers into and out of the Monitored Portfolios within given periods of time. For example, we currently monitor transfer activity to determine if, for each category of international, small-cap, and high-yield portfolios, in a 12-month period there were: (1) six or more transfers involving the given category; (2) cumulative gross transfers involving the given category that exceed the current Account Value; and (3) two or more “round-trips” involving the given category. A round-trip generally is defined as a transfer in followed by a transfer out within the next seven calendar days or a transfer out followed by a transfer in within the next seven calendar days, in either case subject to certain other criteria. We do not believe that other Investment Portfolios present a significant opportunity to engage in arbitrage trading and therefore do not monitor transfer activity in those portfolios. We may change the Monitored Portfolios at any time without notice in our sole discretion.

Table of Contents
As a condition to making their portfolios available in our products, American Funds requires us to treat all American Funds portfolios as Monitored Portfolios under our current frequent transfer policies and procedures. Further, American Funds requires us to impose additional specified monitoring criteria for all American Funds portfolios available under the contract, regardless of the potential for arbitrage trading. We are required to monitor transfer activity in American Funds portfolios to determine if there were two or more transfers in followed by transfers out, in each case of a certain dollar amount or greater, in any 30-day period. A first violation of the American Funds monitoring policy will result in a written notice of violation; any additional violation will result in the imposition of the transfer restrictions described below. Further, as Monitored Portfolios, American Funds portfolios also will be subject to our current frequent transfer policies, procedures and restrictions, and transfer restrictions may be imposed upon a violation of either monitoring policy.
Our policies and procedures may result in transfer restrictions being applied to deter frequent transfers. Currently, when we detect transfer activity in the Monitored Portfolios that exceeds our current transfer limits, we will impose transfer restrictions on the entire contract and will require future transfer requests to or from any Investment Portfolio under that contract to be submitted in writing with an original signature. A first occurrence will result in a warning letter; a second occurrence will result in the imposition of this restriction for a six-month period; a third occurrence will result in the permanent imposition of the restriction. Transfers made under a Dollar Cost Averaging Program, a rebalancing program or, if applicable, any asset allocation program described in this prospectus are not treated as transfers when we monitor the frequency of transfers.
The detection and deterrence of harmful transfer activity involves judgments that are inherently subjective, such as the decision to monitor only those Investment Portfolios that we believe are susceptible to arbitrage trading or the determination of the transfer limits. Our ability to detect and/or restrict such transfer activity may be limited by operational and technological systems, as well as our ability to predict strategies employed by Owners to avoid such detection. Our ability to restrict such transfer activity also may be limited by provisions of the contract. Accordingly, there is no assurance that we will prevent all transfer activity that may adversely affect Owners and
other persons with interests in the contracts. We do not accommodate frequent transfers in any Investment Portfolio and there are no arrangements in place to permit any contract Owner to engage in frequent transfers; we apply our policies and procedures without exception, waiver, or special arrangement.
The Investment Portfolios may have adopted their own policies and procedures with respect to frequent transfers in their respective shares, and we reserve the right to enforce these policies and procedures. For example, Investment Portfolios may assess a redemption fee (which we reserve the right to collect) on shares held for a relatively short period. The prospectuses for the Investment Portfolios describe any such policies and procedures, which may be more or less restrictive than the policies and procedures we have adopted. Although we may not have the contractual authority or the operational capacity to apply the frequent transfer policies and procedures of the Investment Portfolios, we have entered into a written agreement, as required by SEC regulation, with each Investment Portfolio or its principal underwriter that obligates us to provide to the Investment Portfolio promptly upon request certain information about the trading activity of individual contract Owners, and to execute instructions from the Investment Portfolio to restrict or prohibit further purchases or transfers by specific contract Owners who violate the frequent transfer policies established by the Investment Portfolio.
In addition, contract Owners and other persons with interests in the contracts should be aware that the purchase and redemption orders received by the Investment Portfolios generally are “omnibus” orders from intermediaries, such as retirement plans or separate accounts funding variable insurance contracts. The omnibus orders reflect the aggregation and netting of multiple orders from individual Owners of variable insurance contracts and/or individual retirement plan participants. The omnibus nature of these orders may limit the Investment Portfolios in their ability to apply their frequent transfer policies and procedures. In addition, the other insurance companies and/or retirement plans may have different policies and procedures or may not have any such policies and procedures because of contractual limitations. For these reasons, we cannot guarantee that the Investment Portfolios (and thus contract Owners) will not be harmed by transfer activity relating to other insurance companies and/or retirement plans that may invest in the Investment Portfolios. If an Investment Portfolio believes
21

 


Table of Contents
that an omnibus order reflects one or more transfer requests from contract Owners engaged in frequent trading, the Investment Portfolio may reject the entire omnibus order.
In accordance with applicable law, we reserve the right to modify or terminate the transfer privilege at any time. We also reserve the right to defer or restrict the transfer privilege at any time that we are unable to purchase or redeem shares of any of the Investment Portfolios, including any refusal or restriction on purchases or redemptions of their shares as a result of their own policies and procedures on frequent transfers (even if an entire omnibus order is rejected due to the frequent transfers of a single contract Owner). You should read the Investment Portfolio prospectuses for more details.
Restrictions on Large Transfers. Large transfers may increase brokerage and administrative costs of the Investment Portfolios and may disrupt portfolio management strategy, requiring an Investment Portfolio to maintain a high cash position and possibly resulting in lost investment opportunities and forced liquidations. We do not monitor for large transfers to or from Investment Portfolios except where the portfolio manager of a particular Investment Portfolio has brought large transfer activity to our attention for investigation on a case-by-case basis. For example, some portfolio managers have asked us to monitor for “block transfers” where transfer requests have been submitted on behalf of multiple contract Owners by a third party such as an investment adviser. When we detect such large trades, we may impose restrictions similar to those described above where future transfer requests from that third party must be submitted in writing with an original signature. A first occurrence will result in a warning letter; a second occurrence will result in the imposition of this restriction for a six-month period; a third occurrence will result in the permanent imposition of the restriction.
Dollar Cost Averaging Program
We offer a dollar cost averaging (DCA) program as described below. By allocating amounts on a regular schedule as opposed to allocating the total amount at one particular time, you may be less susceptible to the impact of market fluctuations. The dollar cost averaging program is available only during the Accumulation Phase.
We reserve the right to modify, terminate or suspend the dollar cost averaging program. There is no additional charge for participating in the dollar cost averaging
program. If you participate in the dollar cost averaging program, the transfers made under the program are not taken into account in determining any transfer fee. We may, from time to time, offer other dollar cost averaging programs which have terms different from those described in this prospectus. We will terminate your participation in a dollar cost averaging program when we receive notification of your death.
The DCA program allows you to systematically transfer a set amount each month from the Fixed Account or from the BlackRock Ultra-Short Term Bond Portfolio to any of the other available Investment Portfolio(s) you select. We provide certain exceptions from our normal Fixed Account restrictions to accommodate the dollar cost averaging program. These transfers are made on a date you select or, if you do not select a date, on the date that a Purchase Payment or Account Value is allocated to the DCA program. However, transfers will be made on the 1st day of the following month for Purchase Payments or Account Value allocated to the dollar cost averaging program on the 29th, 30th, or 31st day of a month.
If you make an additional Purchase Payment while a DCA program is in effect, we will not allocate the additional payment to the DCA program unless you tell us to do so. Instead, unless you previously provided different allocation instructions for future Purchase Payments or provide new allocation instructions with the payment, we will allocate the additional Purchase Payment directly to the same destination Investment Portfolios you selected under the DCA program. Any Purchase Payments received after the DCA program has ended will be allocated as described in “Purchase — Allocation of Purchase Payments.” If you allocate an additional Purchase Payment to your existing DCA program, the DCA transfer amount will not be increased; however, the number of months over which transfers are made is increased, unless otherwise elected in writing. You can terminate the program at any time, at which point transfers under the program will stop.
Automatic Rebalancing Program
Once your money has been allocated to the Investment Portfolios, the performance of each portfolio may cause your allocation to shift. You can direct us to automatically rebalance your contract to return to your original percentage allocations by selecting our Automatic Rebalancing Program. You can tell us whether to rebalance monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually.
22

 


Table of Contents
An automatic rebalancing program is intended to transfer Account Value from those portfolios that have increased in value to those that have declined or not increased as much in value. Over time, this method of investing may help you “buy low and sell high,” although there can be no assurance that this objective will be achieved. Automatic rebalancing does not guarantee profits, nor does it assure that you will not have losses.
We will measure the rebalancing periods from the anniversary of the date we issued your contract. If a dollar cost averaging program is in effect, rebalancing allocations will be based on your current DCA allocations. If you are not participating in a dollar cost averaging program, we will make allocations based upon your current Purchase Payment allocations, unless you tell us otherwise.
The Automatic Rebalancing Program is available only during the Accumulation Phase. There is no additional charge for participating in the Automatic Rebalancing Program. If you participate in the Automatic Rebalancing Program, the transfers made under the program are not taken into account in determining any transfer fee. We will terminate your participation in the Automatic Rebalancing Program when we receive notification of your death.
Example:
Assume that you want your initial Purchase Payment split between two Investment Portfolios. You want 40% to be in the Western Asset Management U.S. Government Portfolio and 60% to be in the Invesco Small Cap Growth Portfolio. Over the next 2 12 months the bond market does very well while the stock market performs poorly. At the end of the first quarter, the Western Asset Management U.S. Government Portfolio now represents 50% of your holdings because of its increase in value. If you have chosen to have your holdings rebalanced quarterly, on the first day of the next quarter, we will sell some of your units in the Western Asset Management U.S. Government Portfolio to bring its value back to 40% and use the money to buy more units in the Invesco Small Cap Growth Portfolio to increase those holdings to 60%.
Voting Rights
We are the legal owner of the Investment Portfolio shares. However, we believe that when an Investment Portfolio solicits proxies in conjunction with a vote of shareholders, we are required to obtain from you and other affected Owners instructions as to how to vote those shares. When we receive those instructions, we will vote all of the shares
we own in proportion to those instructions. This will also include any shares that we own on our own behalf. The effect of this proportional voting is that a small number of contract Owners may control the outcome of a vote. Should we determine that we are no longer required to comply with the above, we will vote the shares in our own right.
Substitution of Investment Options
If investment in the Investment Portfolios or a particular Investment Portfolio is no longer possible, in our judgment becomes inappropriate for purposes of the contract, or for any other reason in our sole discretion, we may substitute another Investment Portfolio or Investment Portfolios without your consent. The substituted Investment Portfolio may have different fees and expenses. Substitution may be made with respect to existing investments or the investment of future Purchase Payments, or both. However, we will not make such substitution without any necessary approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission and applicable state insurance departments. Furthermore, we may close Investment Portfolios to allocation of Purchase Payments or Account Value, or both, at any time in our sole discretion.
EXPENSES
There are charges and other expenses associated with the contract that reduce the return on your investment in the contract.These charges and expenses are:
Product Charges
Separate Account Product Charges. Each day, we make a deduction for our Separate Account product charges (which consist of the mortality and expense charge, the administration charge and the charges related to any death benefit riders). We do this as part of our calculation of the value of the Accumulation Units and the Annuity Units (i.e., during the Accumulation Phase and the Income Phase — although death benefit charges no longer continue in the Income Phase).
Mortality and Expense Charge. We assess a daily mortality and expense charge that is equal, on an annual basis, to 1.35% of the average daily net asset value of each Investment Portfolio.
This charge compensates us generally for mortality risks we assume, including making Annuity Payments that will not change based on our actual mortality experience and providing a guaranteed minimum death benefit under the
23

 


Table of Contents
contract. The charge also compensates us for expense risks we assume to cover contract maintenance expenses. These expenses may include issuing contracts, maintaining records, making and maintaining subaccounts available under the contract and performing accounting, regulatory compliance, and reporting functions. This charge also compensates us for costs associated with the establishment and administration of the contract, including programs like transfers and dollar cost averaging. If the mortality and expense charge is inadequate to cover the actual expenses of mortality, maintenance, and administration, we will bear the loss. If the charge exceeds the actual expenses, we will add the excess to our profit and it may be used to finance distribution expenses or for any other purpose.
Administration Charge. This charge is equal, on an annual basis, to 0.15% of the average daily net asset value of each Investment Portfolio. This charge, together with the account fee (see below), is for the expenses associated with the administration of the contract. Some of these expenses are: issuing contracts, maintaining records, providing accounting, valuation, regulatory and reporting services, as well as expenses associated with marketing, sale and distribution of the contracts.
Death Benefit Rider Charges. If you select one of the following death benefit riders, we will deduct a charge that compensates us generally for the costs and risks we assume in providing the benefit. This charge (assessed during the Accumulation Phase) is equal, on an annual basis, to the percentages below of the average daily net asset value of each Investment Portfolio:
Annual Step-Up Death Benefit 0.15%
Additional Death Benefit–Earnings Preservation Benefit 0.25%
Account Fee
During the Accumulation Phase, every Contract Year on your contract anniversary (the anniversary of the date when your contract was issued), we will deduct $30 from your contract as an account fee for the prior Contract Year if the Account Value is less than $50,000. If you make a complete withdrawal from your contract, the full account fee will be deducted from the Account Value regardless of the amount of your Account Value. During the Accumulation Phase, the account fee is deducted pro rata from the Investment Portfolios. This charge is generally for administration charge (see above). This charge cannot be increased.
A pro rata portion of the charge will be deducted from the Account Value on the Annuity Date or upon a full withdrawal if this date is other than a contract anniversary. If your Account Value on the Annuity Date is at least $50,000, then we will not deduct the account fee. After the Annuity Date, the charge will be collected monthly out of the Annuity Payment, regardless of the size of your contract.
Withdrawal Charge
We impose a withdrawal charge to reimburse us generally for contract sales expenses, including commissions and other distribution, promotion, and acquisition expenses. During the Accumulation Phase, you can make a withdrawal from your contract (either a partial or a complete withdrawal). If the amount you withdraw is determined to include the withdrawal of any of your prior Purchase Payments, a withdrawal charge is assessed against each Purchase Payment withdrawn. To determine what portion (if any) of a withdrawal is subject to a withdrawal charge, amounts are withdrawn from your contract in the following order:
1.    Earnings in your contract (earnings are equal to your Account Value, less Purchase Payments not previously withdrawn); then
2.    The free withdrawal amount described below (deducted from Purchase Payments not previously withdrawn, in the order such Purchase Payments were made, with the oldest Purchase Payment first, as described below); then
3.    Purchase Payments not previously withdrawn, in the order such Purchase Payments were made: the oldest Purchase Payment first, the next Purchase Payment second, etc. until all Purchase Payments have been withdrawn.
24

 


Table of Contents
The withdrawal charge is calculated at the time of each withdrawal in accordance with the following:
Number of Complete Years from
Receipt of Purchase Payment
  Withdrawal Charge
(% of Purchase Payment)
0   8
1   8
2   7
3   7
4   6
5   5
6   4
7   3
8 and thereafter   0
For a partial withdrawal, the withdrawal charge is deducted from the remaining Account Value, if sufficient. If the remaining Account Value is not sufficient, the withdrawal charge is deducted from the amount withdrawn.
If the Account Value is smaller than the total of all Purchase Payments, the withdrawal charge only applies up to the Account Value.
We do not assess the withdrawal charge on any payments paid out as Annuity Payments or as death benefits. In addition, we will not assess the withdrawal charge on required minimum distributions from Qualified Contracts in order to satisfy federal income tax rules or to avoid required federal income tax penalties. This exception only applies to amounts required to be distributed from this contract. We do not assess the withdrawal charge on earnings in your contract.
NOTE: For tax purposes, earnings from Non-Qualified Contracts are considered to come out first.
Free Withdrawal Amount. The free withdrawal amount for each Contract Year after the first (there is no free withdrawal amount in the first Contract Year) is equal to 10% of your total Purchase Payments, less the total free withdrawal amount previously withdrawn in the same Contract Year. Also, we currently will not assess a withdrawal charge on amounts withdrawn during the first Contract Year under the Systematic Withdrawal Program if monthly or quarterly payments are chosen. Any unused free withdrawal amount in one Contract Year does not carry over to the next Contract Year.
Reduction or Elimination of the Withdrawal Charge
General. We may elect to reduce or eliminate the amount of the withdrawal charge when the contract is sold under circumstances which reduce our sales expenses. Currently the contract is not available for new sales. Some examples of circumstances which reduce our sales expenses are: if there is a large group of individuals that will be purchasing the contract, or if a prospective purchaser already had a relationship with us.
Nursing Home or Hospital Confinement Rider. We will not impose a withdrawal charge if, after you have owned the contract for one year, you or your Joint Owner becomes confined to a nursing home and/or hospital for at least 90 consecutive days or confined for a total of at least 90 days if there is no more than a 6-month break in confinement and the confinements are for related causes. The confinement must begin after the first contract anniversary and you must have been the Owner continuously since the contract was issued (or have become the Owner as the spousal Beneficiary who continues the contract). The confinement must be prescribed by a physician and be medically necessary. You must exercise this right no later than 90 days after you or your Joint Owner exits the nursing home or hospital. This waiver terminates on the Annuity Date. There is no charge for this rider. This rider is not available in Massachusetts.
Terminal Illness Rider. After the first contract anniversary, we will waive the withdrawal charge if you or your Joint Owner are terminally ill and not expected to live more than 12 months; a physician certifies to your illness and life expectancy; you were not diagnosed with the terminal illness as of the date we issued your contract; and you have been the Owner continuously since the contract was issued (or have become the Owner as the spousal Beneficiary who continues the contract). This waiver terminates on the Annuity Date. There is no charge for this rider. This rider is not available in Massachusetts.
The Nursing Home or Hospital Confinement rider and the Terminal Illness rider are only available for Owners who are age 80 or younger (on the contract issue date). Additional conditions and requirements apply to the Nursing Home or Hospital Confinement rider and the Terminal Illness rider. They are specified in the rider(s) that are part of your contract.

Premium and Other Taxes
We reserve the right to deduct from Purchase Payments, Account Value, withdrawals, death benefits or Annuity Payments any taxes relating to the contracts (including, but not limited to, premium taxes) paid by us to any government entity. Examples of these taxes include, but are not limited to, premium tax, generation-skipping transfer tax or a similar excise tax under federal or state tax law which is imposed on payments we make to certain persons and income tax withholdings on withdrawals and income payments to the extent required by law. Premium taxes generally range from 0 to 3.5%, depending on the state. We will, at our sole discretion, determine when taxes relate to the contracts. We may, at our sole discretion, pay taxes when due and deduct that amount from the Account Value at a later date. Payment at an earlier date does not waive any right we may have to deduct amounts at a later date. It is our current practice not to charge premium taxes until Annuity Payments begin.
Transfer Fee
We currently allow unlimited transfers without charge during the Accumulation Phase. However, we have reserved the right to limit the number of transfers to a maximum of 12 per year without charge and to charge a transfer fee of $25 for each transfer greater than 12 in any year. We are currently waiving the transfer fee, but reserve the right to charge it in the future. The transfer fee compensates us generally for the costs of processing transfers. The transfer fee is deducted from the Investment Portfolio or the fixed account from which the transfer is made. However, if the entire interest in an account is being transferred, the transfer fee will be deducted from the amount which is transferred.
If the transfer is part of a pre-scheduled transfer program, it will not count in determining the transfer fee.
Income Taxes
We reserve the right to deduct from the contract for any income taxes which we incur because of the contract. In general, we believe under current federal income tax law, we are entitled to hold reserves with respect to the contract that offset Separate Account income. If this should change, it is possible we could incur income tax with respect to the contract, and in that event we may deduct such tax from the contract. At the present time, however, we are not incurring any such income tax or making any such deductions.
Investment Portfolio Expenses
There are deductions from and expenses paid out of the assets of each Investment Portfolio, which are described in the fee table in this prospectus and the Investment Portfolio prospectuses. These deductions and expenses are not charges under the terms of the contract, but are represented in the share values of each Investment Portfolio.
ANNUITY PAYMENTS
(THE INCOME PHASE)
Annuity Date
Under the contract you can receive regular income payments (referred to as Annuity Payments). You can choose the month and year in which those payments begin. We call that date the Annuity Date. Your Annuity Date must be at least 30 days after we issue the contract and will be the first day of the calendar month unless, subject to our current established administrative procedures, we allow you to select another day of the month as your Annuity Date.
When you purchase the contract, the Annuity Date will be the later of the first day of the calendar month after the Annuitant’s 90th birthday or 10 years from the date your contract was issued. You can change or extend the Annuity Date at any time before the Annuity Date with 30 days prior notice to us (subject to restrictions imposed by your selling firm, and our current established administrative procedures).
Please be aware that once your contract is annuitized, your Beneficiary (or Beneficiaries) is ineligible to receive the death benefit you have selected.
Annuity Payments
You (unless another payee is named) will receive the Annuity Payments during the Income Phase. The Annuitant is the natural person(s) whose life we look to in the determination of Annuity Payments.
During the Income Phase, you have the same investment choices you had just before the start of the Income Phase. At the Annuity Date, you can choose whether payments will be:
fixed Annuity Payments, or
variable Annuity Payments, or
a combination of both.
26

 


Table of Contents
If you don’t tell us otherwise, your Annuity Payments will be based on the investment allocations that were in place just before the start of the Income Phase.
If you choose to have any portion of your Annuity Payments based on the Investment Portfolio(s), the dollar amount of your initial payment will vary and will depend upon three things:
1)    the value of your contract in the Investment Portfolio(s) just before the start of the Income Phase,
2)    the assumed investment return (AIR) (you select) used in the annuity table for the contract, and
3)    the Annuity Option elected.
Subsequent variable Annuity Payments will vary with the performance of the Investment Portfolios you selected. (For more information, see “Variable Annuity Payments” below.)
At the time you choose an Annuity Option, you select the AIR, which must be acceptable to us. Currently, you can select an AIR of 3% or 4%. You can change the AIR with 30 days’ notice to us prior to the Annuity Date. If you do not select an AIR, we will use 3%. If the actual performance exceeds the AIR, your variable Annuity Payments will increase. Similarly, if the actual investment performance is less than the AIR, your variable Annuity Payments will decrease.
Your variable Annuity Payment is based on Annuity Units. An Annuity Unit is an accounting device used to calculate the dollar amount of Annuity Payments. (For more information, see “Variable Annuity Payments” below.)
When selecting an AIR, you should keep in mind that a lower AIR will result in a lower initial variable Annuity Payment, but subsequent variable Annuity Payments will increase more rapidly or decline more slowly as changes occur in the investment experience of the Investment Portfolios. On the other hand, a higher AIR will result in a higher initial variable Annuity Payment than a lower AIR, but later variable Annuity Payments will rise more slowly or fall more rapidly.
A transfer during the Income Phase from a variable Annuity Payment option to a fixed Annuity Payment option may result in a reduction in the amount of Annuity Payments. (You cannot, however, make transfers from a fixed Annuity Payment option to the Investment Portfolios.)
If you choose to have any portion of your Annuity Payments be a fixed Annuity Payment, the dollar amount of each fixed Annuity Payment will not change, unless you make a transfer from a variable Annuity Payment option to the fixed Annuity Payment that causes the fixed Annuity Payment to increase. Please refer to the “Annuity Provisions” section of the Statement of Additional Information for more information.
Annuity Payments are made monthly (or at any frequency permitted under the contract) unless you have less than $5,000 to apply toward an Annuity Option. In that case, we may provide your Annuity Payment in a single lump sum instead of Annuity Payments. Likewise, if your Annuity Payments would be or become less than $100 a month, we have the right to change the frequency of payments so that your Annuity Payments are at least $100.
Annuity Options
You can choose among income plans. We call those Annuity Options. You can change your Annuity Option at any time before the Annuity Date with 30 days’ notice to us.
If you do not choose an Annuity Option, Option 2, which provides a life annuity with 10 years of guaranteed Annuity Payments, will automatically be applied.
You can choose one of the following Annuity Options or any other Annuity Option acceptable to us, subject to the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. After Annuity Payments begin, you cannot change the Annuity Option.
If more than one frequency is permitted under your contract, choosing less frequent payments will result in each Annuity Payment being larger. Annuity Options that guarantee that payments will be made for a certain number of years regardless of whether the Annuitant or joint Annuitant are alive (such as Options 2 and 4 below) result in Annuity Payments that are smaller than Annuity Options without such a guarantee (such as Options 1 and 3 below). For Annuity Options with a designated period, choosing a shorter designated period will result in each Annuity Payment being larger.
Option 1. Life Annuity. Under this option, we will make Annuity Payments so long as the Annuitant is alive. We stop making Annuity Payments after the Annuitant’s death. It is possible under this option to receive only one Annuity Payment if the Annuitant dies before the due date of the second payment or to receive only two Annuity
27

 


Table of Contents
Payments if the Annuitant dies before the due date of the third payment, and so on.
Option 2. Life Annuity With 10 Years of Annuity Payments Guaranteed. Under this option, we will make Annuity Payments so long as the Annuitant is alive. If, when the Annuitant dies, we have made Annuity Payments for less than ten years, we will then continue to make Annuity Payments to the Beneficiary for the rest of the 10 year period.
Option 3. Joint and Last Survivor Annuity. Under this option, we will make Annuity Payments so long as the Annuitant and a second person (joint Annuitant) are both alive. When either Annuitant dies, we will continue to make Annuity Payments, so long as the survivor continues to live. We will stop making Annuity Payments after the last survivor’s death.
Option 4. Joint and Last Survivor Annuity with 10 Years of Annuity Payments Guaranteed. Under this option, we will make Annuity Payments so long as the Annuitant and a second person (joint Annuitant) are both alive. When either Annuitant dies, we will continue to make Annuity Payments, so long as the survivor continues to live. If, at the last death of the Annuitant and the joint Annuitant, we have made Annuity Payments for less than ten years, we will then continue to make Annuity Payments to the Beneficiary for the rest of the 10 year period.
Option 5. Payments for a Designated Period. We currently offer an Annuity Option under which fixed or variable monthly Annuity Payments are made for a selected number of years as approved by us, currently not less than 10 years. This Annuity Option may be limited or withdrawn by us in our discretion or due to the requirements of the Code.
We may require proof of age or sex of an Annuitant before making any Annuity Payments under the contract that are measured by the Annuitant's life. If the age or sex of the Annuitant has been misstated, the amount payable will be the amount that the Account Value would have provided at the correct age or sex. Once Annuity Payments have begun, any underpayments will be made up in one sum with the next Annuity Payment. Any overpayments will be deducted from future Annuity Payments until the total is repaid.
A commutation feature (a feature that allows the Owner to receive a lump sum of the present value of future Annuity Payments) is available under the variable Payments for a Designated Period Annuity Option (Option 5). You may not commute the fixed Payments for a Designated Period
Annuity Option or any option involving a life contingency, whether fixed or variable, prior to the death of the last surviving Annuitant. Upon the death of the last surviving Annuitant, the Beneficiary may choose to continue receiving income payments (if permitted by the Code) or to receive the commuted value of the remaining guaranteed payments. For variable Annuity Options, the calculation of the commuted value will be done using the AIR applicable to the contract. (See “Annuity Payments” above.) For fixed Annuity Options, the calculation of the commuted value will be done using the then current Annuity Option rates.
There may be tax consequences resulting from the election of an Annuity Payment option containing a commutation feature (i.e., an Annuity Payment option that permits the withdrawal of a commuted value). (See “Federal Income Tax Status.”)
Due to underwriting, administrative or Internal Revenue Code considerations, there may be limitations on payments to the survivor under Options 3 and 4 and/or the duration of the guarantee period under Options 2, 4, and 5.
Tax rules with respect to decedent contracts may prohibit the election of Joint and Last Survivor Annuity Options (or income types) and may also prohibit payments for as long as the Owner's life in certain circumstances.
In addition to the Annuity Options described above, we may offer an additional payment option that would allow your Beneficiary to take distribution of the Account Value over a period not extending beyond his or her life expectancy. Under this option, annual distributions would not be made in the form of an annuity, but would be calculated in a manner similar to the calculation of required minimum distributions from IRAs. (See “Federal Income Tax Status.”) We generally intend to make this payment option available to both Qualified Contracts and Non-Qualified Contracts, to the extent allowed under the Code; however, such payment option may be limited to certain categories of beneficiaries.
In the event that you purchased the contract as a Qualified Contract, you must take distribution of the Account Value in accordance with the minimum required distribution rules set forth in applicable tax law. (See “Federal Income Tax Status.”) Under certain circumstances, you may satisfy those requirements by electing an Annuity Option. You may choose any death benefit available under a Qualified Contract, but the death benefit must be paid within the timeframe required by applicable tax law and certain other contract provisions and programs will not be available.

Table of Contents
Upon your death, if Annuity Payments have already begun under a Qualified Contract, applicable tax law may require that any remaining payments be made over a shorter period than originally elected or otherwise adjusted to comply with the tax law. If you purchased the contract as a Non-Qualified Contract, the tax rules that apply upon your death are similar to the tax rules for Qualified Contracts, but differ in some material respects. For example, if you die after Annuity Payments have already begun under a Non-Qualified Contract, any remaining Annuity Payments can continue to be paid, provided that they are paid at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect at the time of your death.
Variable Annuity Payments
The Adjusted Contract Value (the Account Value, less any applicable premium taxes and account fee) is determined on the annuity calculation date, which is a Business Day no more than five (5) Business Days before the Annuity Date. The first variable Annuity Payment will be based upon the Adjusted Contract Value, the Annuity Option elected, the Annuitant’s age, the Annuitant's sex (where permitted by law), and the appropriate variable Annuity Option table. Your annuity rates will not be less than those guaranteed in your contract at the time of purchase for the assumed investment return and Annuity Option elected. If, as of the annuity calculation date, the then current variable Annuity Option rates applicable to this class of contracts provide a first Annuity Payment greater than that which is guaranteed under the same Annuity Option under this contract, the greater payment will be made.
The dollar amount of variable Annuity Payments after the first payment is determined as follows:
The dollar amount of the first variable Annuity Payment is divided by the value of an Annuity Unit for each applicable Investment Portfolio as of the annuity calculation date. This establishes the number of Annuity Units for each payment. The number of Annuity Units for each applicable Investment Portfolio remains fixed during the annuity period, provided that transfers among the Investment Portfolios will be made by converting the number of Annuity Units being transferred to the number of Annuity Units of the Investment Portfolio to which the transfer is made, and the number of Annuity Units will be adjusted for transfers to a fixed Annuity Option. Please see the Statement of Additional Information for details about making transfers during the Annuity Phase.
The fixed number of Annuity Units per payment in each Investment Portfolio is multiplied by the Annuity Unit value for that Investment Portfolio for the Business Day for which the Annuity Payment is being calculated. This result is the dollar amount of the payment for each applicable Investment Portfolio, less any account fee. The account fee will be deducted pro rata out of each Annuity Payment.
The total dollar amount of each variable Annuity Payment is the sum of all Investment Portfolio variable Annuity Payments.
Annuity Unit. The initial Annuity Unit value for each Investment Portfolio of the Separate Account was set by us. The subsequent Annuity Unit value for each Investment Portfolio is determined by multiplying the Annuity Unit value for the immediately preceding Business Day by the net investment factor (see the Statement of Additional Information for a definition) for the Investment Portfolio for the current Business Day and multiplying the result by a factor for each day since the last Business Day which represents the daily equivalent of the AIR you elected.
Fixed Annuity Payments
The Adjusted Contract Value (defined above under “Variable Annuity Payments”) is determined on the annuity calculation date, which is a Business Day no more than five (5) Business Days before the Annuity Date. This value will be used to determine a fixed Annuity Payment. The Annuity Payment will be based upon the Annuity Option elected, the Annuitant's age, the Annuitant's sex (where permitted by law), and the appropriate Annuity Option table. Your annuity rates will not be less than those guaranteed in your contract at the time of purchase. If, as of the annuity calculation date, the then current Annuity Option rates applicable to this class of contracts provide an Annuity Payment greater than that which is guaranteed under the same Annuity Option under this contract, the greater payment will be made. You may not make a transfer from the fixed Annuity Option to the variable Annuity Option.
ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY
You (or in the case of a death benefit, or certain Annuity Options upon the death of the last surviving Annuitant, your Beneficiary) can have access to the money in your contract:
(1)    by making a withdrawal (either a partial or a complete withdrawal);
29

 


Table of Contents
(2)    by electing to receive Annuity Payments;
(3)    when a death benefit is paid to your Beneficiary; or
(4)    under certain Annuity Options described under “Annuity Payments (The Income Phase) — Annuity Options” that provide for continuing Annuity Payments or a cash refund to your Beneficiary upon the death of the last surviving Annuitant.
Under most circumstances, withdrawals can only be made during the Accumulation Phase.
You may establish a withdrawal plan under which you can receive substantially equal periodic payments in order to comply with the requirements of Sections 72(q) or (t) of the Code. Premature modification or termination of such payments may result in substantial penalty taxes. (See “Federal Income Tax Status.”)
When you make a complete withdrawal, you will receive the withdrawal value of the contract. The withdrawal value of the contract is the Account Value of the contract at the end of the Business Day when we receive a written request for a withdrawal:
less any applicable withdrawal charge;
less any premium or other tax; and
less any account fee.
Unless you instruct us otherwise, any partial withdrawal will be made pro rata from the Fixed Account and the Investment Portfolio(s) you selected. Under most circumstances the amount of any partial withdrawal must be for at least $500, or your entire interest in the Investment Portfolio or Fixed Account. We require that after a partial withdrawal is made you keep at least $2,000 in the contract. If the withdrawal would result in the Account Value being less than $2,000 after a partial withdrawal, we will treat the withdrawal request as a request for a full withdrawal. (See “Purchase — Termination for Low Account Value” for more information.)
We will pay the amount of any withdrawal from the Separate Account within seven days of when we receive the request in Good Order unless the suspension of payments or transfers provision is in effect.
We may withhold payment of withdrawal proceeds if any portion of those proceeds would be derived from a contract Owner's check that has not yet cleared (i.e., that could still be dishonored by the contract Owner's banking
institution). We may use telephone, fax, Internet or other means of communication to verify that payment from the contract Owner's check has been or will be collected. We will not delay payment longer than necessary for us to verify that payment has been or will be collected. Contract Owners may avoid the possibility of delay in the disbursement of proceeds coming from a check that has not yet cleared by providing us with a certified check.
How to withdraw all or part of your Account Value:
You must submit a request to our Annuity Service Center. (See “Other Information — Requests and Elections.”)
If you would like to have the withdrawal charge waived under the Nursing Home or Hospital Confinement Rider or the Terminal Illness Rider, you must provide satisfactory evidence of confinement to a nursing home or hospital or terminal illness. (See “Expenses — Reduction or Elimination of the Withdrawal Charge.”)
You must state in your request whether you would like to apply the proceeds to a payment option (otherwise you will receive the proceeds in a lump sum and may be taxed on them).
We have to receive your withdrawal request in our Annuity Service Center prior to the Annuity Date or Owner's death; provided, however, that you may submit a written withdrawal request any time prior to the Annuity Date that indicates that the withdrawal should be processed as of the Annuity Date. Solely for the purpose of calculating and processing such a withdrawal request, the request will be deemed to have been received on, and the withdrawal amount will be priced according to the Accumulation Unit value calculated as of, the Annuity Date. Your request must be received at our Annuity Service Center on or before the Annuity Date.
There are limits to the amount you can withdraw from certain qualified plans including Qualified and TSA plans. (See “Federal Income Tax Status.”)
Income taxes, tax penalties and certain restrictions may apply to any withdrawal you make.
Divorce. A withdrawal made pursuant to a divorce or separation instrument is subject to the same withdrawal charge provisions as described in “Expenses — Withdrawal Charge,” if permissible under tax law. In addition, the
30

 


Table of Contents
withdrawal will reduce the Account Value and the death benefit. The withdrawal could have a significant negative impact on the death benefit.
Systematic Withdrawal Program
You may elect the Systematic Withdrawal Program at any time. We do not assess a charge for this program. This program provides an automatic payment to you of up to 10% of your total Purchase Payments each year. You can receive payments monthly or quarterly, provided that each payment must amount to at least $100 (unless we consent otherwise). After the first Contract Year, you can receive payments annually or semi-annually. We reserve the right to change the required minimum systematic withdrawal amount. If the New York Stock Exchange is closed on a day when the withdrawal is to be made, we will process the withdrawal on the next Business Day. While the Systematic Withdrawal Program is in effect you can make additional withdrawals. However, such withdrawals plus the systematic withdrawals will be considered when determining the applicability of any withdrawal charge. (For a discussion of the withdrawal charge, see “Expenses” above.)
We will terminate your participation in the Systematic Withdrawal Program when we receive notification of your death.
Income taxes, tax penalties and certain restrictions may apply to systematic withdrawals.
Suspension of Payments or Transfers
We may be required to suspend or postpone payments for withdrawals or transfers for any period when:
the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend and holiday closings);
trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted;
an emergency exists, as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, as a result of which disposal of shares of the Investment Portfolios is not reasonably practicable or we cannot reasonably value the shares of the Investment Portfolios; or
during any other period when the Securities and Exchange Commission, by order, so permits for the protection of Owners.
We have reserved the right to defer payment for a withdrawal or transfer from the Fixed Account for the period permitted by law, but not for more than six months.
Federal laws designed to counter terrorism and prevent money laundering might, in certain circumstances, require us to block an Owner's ability to make certain transactions and thereby refuse to accept any requests for transfers, withdrawals, surrenders, or death benefits until instructions are received from the appropriate regulator. We may also be required to provide additional information about you and your contract to government regulators.
PERFORMANCE
We periodically advertise subaccount performance relating to the Investment Portfolios. We will calculate performance by determining the percentage change in the value of an Accumulation Unit by dividing the increase (decrease) for that unit by the value of the Accumulation Unit at the beginning of the period. This performance number reflects the deduction of the Separate Account product charges (including death benefit rider charges) and the Investment Portfolio expenses. It does not reflect the deduction of any applicable account fee or withdrawal charge. The deduction of these charges would reduce the percentage increase or make greater any percentage decrease. Any advertisement will also include total return figures which reflect the deduction of the Separate Account product charges (including death benefit rider charges), account fee, withdrawal charges, and the Investment Portfolio expenses.
For periods starting prior to the date the contract was first offered, the performance will be based on the historical performance of the corresponding Investment Portfolios for the periods commencing from the date on which the particular Investment Portfolio was made available through the Separate Account.
In addition, the performance for the Investment Portfolios may be shown for the period commencing from the inception date of the Investment Portfolios. These figures should not be interpreted to reflect actual historical performance of the Separate Account.
We may, from time to time, include in our advertising and sales materials performance information for funds or investment accounts related to the Investment Portfolios and/or their investment advisers or subadvisers. Such related performance information also may reflect the deduction of certain contract charges. We may also include in our advertising and sales materials tax deferred

compounding charts and other hypothetical illustrations, which may include comparisons of currently taxable and tax deferred investment programs, based on selected tax brackets.
You should know that for any performance we illustrate, future performance will vary and results shown are not necessarily representative of future results.
DEATH BENEFIT
Upon Your Death
If you die during the Accumulation Phase, we will pay a death benefit to your Beneficiary (or Beneficiaries). If you die during the Income Phase (after you begin receiving Annuity Payments), there is no death benefit; however, depending on the Annuity Option you elect, any remaining guarantee (i.e., cash refund amount or guaranteed Annuity Payments) will be paid to your Beneficiary (or Beneficiaries) (see “Annuity Payments (The Income Phase)” for more information).
The Principal Protection is the standard death benefit for your contract. If you are age 79 or younger at the effective date of your contract, you may select the optional Annual Step-Up death benefit or the Additional Death Benefit — Earnings Preservation Benefit.
The death benefits are described below. There may be versions of each rider that vary by issue date and state availability. In addition, a version of a rider may become available (or unavailable) in different states at different times. Please check your contract and riders for the specific provisions applicable to you.
The death benefit is determined as of the end of the Business Day on which we receive both due proof of death and an election for the payment method. Until the Beneficiary (or the first Beneficiary if there are multiple Beneficiaries) submits the necessary documentation in Good Order, the Account Value attributable to his/her portion of the death benefit remains in the Investment Portfolios and is subject to investment risk.
Where there are multiple Beneficiaries, any guaranteed death benefit will only be determined as of the time the first Beneficiary submits the necessary documentation in Good Order. If the guaranteed death benefit payable is an amount that exceeds the Account Value on the day it is determined, we will apply to the contract's Account Value an amount equal to the difference between the death benefit payable and the Account Value, in accordance with the current
allocation of the Account Value. The remaining death benefit amounts are held in the Investment Portfolios until each of the other Beneficiaries submits the necessary documentation in Good Order to claim his/her death benefit and are subject to investment risk until we receive his/her necessary documentation.
If you have a Joint Owner, the death benefit will be paid when the first Owner dies. Upon the death of either Owner, the surviving Joint Owner will be the primary Beneficiary. Any other Beneficiary designation will be treated as a contingent Beneficiary, unless instructed otherwise.
If a non-natural person owns the contract, the Annuitant will be deemed to be the Owner in determining the death benefit. If there are Joint Owners, the age of the older Owner will be used to determine the death benefit amount.
If we are presented with notification of your death before any requested transaction is completed (including transactions under a dollar cost averaging program, the Automatic Rebalancing Program, the Systematic Withdrawal Program, or the Automated Required Minimum Distribution Program), we will cancel the request. As described above, the death benefit will be determined when we receive both due proof of death and an election for the payment method.
Standard Death Benefit — Principal Protection
The death benefit will be the greater of:
(1)    the Account Value; or
(2)    total Purchase Payments, reduced proportionately by the percentage reduction in Account Value attributable to each partial withdrawal (including any applicable withdrawal charge).
If the Owner is a natural person and the Owner is changed to someone other than a spouse, the death benefit amount will be determined as defined above; however, subsection (2) will be changed to provide as follows: “the Account Value as of the effective date of the change of Owner, increased by Purchase Payments received after the date of the change of Owner, reduced proportionately by the percentage reduction in Account Value attributable to each partial withdrawal (including any applicable withdrawal charge) made after such date.”
In the event that a Beneficiary who is the spouse of the Owner elects to continue the contract in his or her name after the Owner dies, the death benefit amount under the
32

 


Table of Contents
Principal Protection death benefit will be determined in accordance with (1) or (2) above.
(See Appendix D for examples of the Principal Protection death benefit rider.)
Optional Death Benefit — Annual Step-Up
You may select the Annual Step-Up death benefit rider if you are age 79 or younger at the effective date of your contract. If you select the Annual Step-Up death benefit rider, the death benefit will be the greatest of:
(1)    the Account Value; or
(2)    total Purchase Payments, reduced proportionately by the percentage reduction in Account Value attributable to each partial withdrawal (including any applicable withdrawal charge); or
(3)    the highest anniversary value, as defined below.
On the date we issue your contract, the highest anniversary value is equal to your initial Purchase Payment. Thereafter, the highest anniversary value (as recalculated) will be increased by subsequent Purchase Payments and reduced proportionately by the percentage reduction in Account Value attributable to each subsequent partial withdrawal (including any applicable withdrawal charge). On each contract anniversary prior to your 81st birthday, the highest anniversary value will be recalculated and set equal to the greater of the highest anniversary value before the recalculation or the Account Value on the date of the recalculation.
If the Owner is a natural person and the Owner is changed to someone other than a spouse, the death benefit is equal to the greatest of (1), (2) or (3); however, for purposes of calculating (2) and (3) above:
Subsection (2) is changed to provide: “The Account Value as of the effective date of the change of Owner, increased by Purchase Payments received after the date of change of Owner, and reduced proportionately by the percentage reduction in Account Value attributable to each partial withdrawal (including any applicable withdrawal charge) made after such date”; and
For subsection (3), the highest anniversary value will be recalculated to equal your Account Value as of the effective date of the change of Owner. Thereafter, the highest anniversary value (as recalculated) will be increased by subsequent Purchase Payments and reduced proportionately by the percentage reduction in Account Value attributable to each subsequent partial
  withdrawal (including any applicable withdrawal charge). On each contract anniversary prior to the Owner's 81st birthday, the highest anniversary value will be recalculated and set equal to the greater of the highest anniversary value before the recalculation or the Account Value on the date of the recalculation.
In the event that a Beneficiary who is the spouse of the Owner elects to continue the contract in his or her name after the Owner dies, the death benefit amount under the Annual Step-Up death benefit is equal to the greatest of (1), (2) or (3).
(See Appendix D for examples of the Annual Step-Up death benefit rider.)
Additional Death Benefit — Earnings Preservation Benefit
You may select the Additional Death Benefit — Earnings Preservation Benefit if you are age 79 or younger at the effective date of your contract.
The Earnings Preservation Benefit pays an additional death benefit that is intended to help pay part of the income taxes due at the time of death of the Owner or Joint Owner. In certain situations, this benefit may not be available for qualified plans (check with your financial representative for details).
Before the contract anniversary immediately prior to your 81st birthday, the additional death benefit is equal to the “benefit percentage” (determined in accordance with the table below) times the result of (a) - (b), where:
(a)    is the death benefit under your contract; and
(b)    is total Purchase Payments not withdrawn. For purposes of calculating this value, partial withdrawals are first applied against earnings in the contract, and then against Purchase Payments not withdrawn.
On or after the contract anniversary immediately prior to your 81st birthday, the additional death benefit is equal to the “benefit percentage” (determined in accordance with the table below) times the result of (a) - (b), where:
(a)    is the death benefit on the contract anniversary immediately prior to your 81st birthday, increased by subsequent Purchase Payments and reduced proportionately by the percentage reduction in Account Value attributable to each subsequent partial withdrawal (including any applicable withdrawal charge); and
33

 


Table of Contents
(b)    is total Purchase Payments not withdrawn. For purposes of calculating this value, partial withdrawals are first applied against earnings in the contract, and then against Purchase Payments not withdrawn.
Benefit Percentage
Issue Age   Percentage
Ages 69 or younger   40%
Ages 70-79   25%
Age 80   0%
If the Owner is a natural person and the Owner is changed to someone other than a spouse, the additional death benefit is as defined above; however, for the purposes of calculating subsection (b) above “total Purchase Payments not withdrawn” will be reset to equal the Account Value as of the effective date of the Owner change, and Purchase Payments received and partial withdrawals taken prior to the change of Owner will not be taken into account.
In the event that a Beneficiary who is the spouse of the Owner elects to continue the contract in his or her name after the Owner dies, the additional death benefit will be determined and payable upon receipt of due proof of death of the first spousal Beneficiary. Alternatively, the spousal Beneficiary may elect to have the additional death benefit determined and added to the Account Value upon the election, in which case the additional death benefit rider will terminate (and the corresponding death benefit rider charge will also terminate).
General Death Benefit Provisions
As described above, the death benefit is determined as of the end of the Business Day on which we receive both due proof of death and an election for the payment method. Until a Beneficiary submits the necessary documentation in Good Order, the Account Value attributable to his/her portion of the death benefit remains in the Investment Portfolios and is subject to investment risk. This risk is borne by the Beneficiary.
Please check with your financial representative regarding the availability of the following in your state.
A Beneficiary must elect the death benefit to be paid under one of the payment options (unless the Owner has previously made the election). All options must comply with applicable federal income tax rules. The tax rules are complex and differ for Non-Qualified Contracts and Qualified Contracts. As a general matter, the entire death benefit must be paid within 5 years (or in some cases
10 years for Qualified Contracts) of the date of death unless the Beneficiary elects to have the death benefit payable under an Annuity Option. Generally, the payments under such an Annuity Option must be paid over the Beneficiary’s lifetime or for a period not extending beyond the Beneficiary’s life expectancy. For Non-Qualified Contracts, payment must begin within one year of the date of death. For Qualified Contracts, payment must begin no later than the end of the calendar year immediately following the year of death. However, if the Beneficiary under a Qualified Contract is the Annuitant's spouse, the tax law generally allows distributions to begin by the later of the year following the Annuitant’s death or the year in which the Annuitant would have reached age 72 (age 70 12, if the Annuitant was born on or before June 30, 1949).
We may also offer a payment option, subject to the requirements of tax law, for both Non-Qualified Contracts and certain Qualified Contracts, under which your Beneficiary may receive payments, over a period not extending beyond his or her life expectancy, under a method of distribution similar to the distribution of required minimum distributions that are taken as withdrawals from Individual Retirement Accounts. Such payment option may be limited to certain categories of beneficiaries. If this option is elected, we will issue a new contract to your Beneficiary in order to facilitate the distribution of payments. Your Beneficiary may choose any optional death benefit available under the new contract. Upon the death of your Beneficiary, the death benefit would be required to be distributed in accordance with applicable tax law requirements. In some cases, this will require that the proceeds be distributed more rapidly than the method of distribution in effect at the time of your Beneficiary's death. (See “Federal Income Tax Status.”) To the extent permitted under the tax law, and in accordance with our procedures, your designated Beneficiary is permitted under our procedures to make additional Purchase Payments consisting of monies which are direct transfers (as permitted under tax law) from other Qualified Contracts or Non-Qualified Contracts, depending on which type of contract you own, held in the name of the decedent. Any such additional Purchase Payments would be subject to applicable withdrawal charges. Your Beneficiary is also permitted to choose some of the optional benefits available under the contract, but certain contract provisions or programs may not be available.
If a lump sum payment is elected and all the necessary requirements are met, the payment will be made within
34

 


Table of Contents
7 days. Payment to the Beneficiary under an Annuity Option may only be elected during the 60 day period beginning with the date we receive due proof of death.
If the Owner or a Joint Owner, who is not the Annuitant, dies during the Income Phase, any remaining payments under the Annuity Option elected will continue at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect at the time of the Owner's death. Upon the death of the Owner or a Joint Owner during the Income Phase, the Beneficiary becomes the Owner.
Spousal Continuation
If the primary Beneficiary is the spouse of the Owner, upon the Owner's death, the Beneficiary may elect to continue the contract in his or her own name to the extent permitted by tax law. Upon such election, the Account Value will be adjusted upward (but not downward) to an amount equal to the death benefit amount determined upon such election and receipt of due proof of death of the Owner. Any excess of the death benefit amount over the Account Value will be allocated to each applicable Investment Portfolio and/or the Fixed Account in the ratio that the Account Value in the Investment Portfolio and/or the Fixed Account bears to the total Account Value. The terms and conditions of the contract that applied prior to the Owner’s death will continue to apply, with certain exceptions described in the contract.
For purposes of the death benefit on the continued contract, the death benefit is calculated in the same manner as it was prior to continuation except that all values used to calculate the death benefit, which may include a highest anniversary value, are reset on the date the spouse continues the contract.
Spousal continuation will not be allowed to the extent it would fail to satisfy minimum required distribution rules for Qualified Contracts (see “Federal Income Tax Status”).
Death of the Annuitant
If the Annuitant, not an Owner or Joint Owner, dies during the Accumulation Phase, you automatically become the Annuitant. You can select a new Annuitant if you do not want to be the Annuitant (subject to our then current underwriting standards). However, if the Owner is a non- natural person (for example, a corporation), then the death of the primary Annuitant will be treated as the death of the Owner, and a new Annuitant may not be named.
Upon the death of the Annuitant after Annuity Payments begin, the death benefit, if any, will be as provided for in
the Annuity Option selected. Death benefits will be paid at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect at the Annuitant's death, but in all events in accordance with applicable tax law.
Controlled Payout
You may elect to have the death benefit proceeds paid to your Beneficiary in the form of Annuity Payments for life or over a period of time that does not exceed your Beneficiary's life expectancy. This election must be in writing in Good Order. You may revoke the election only in writing in Good Order. Upon your death, the Beneficiary cannot revoke or modify your election. The Controlled Payout is only available to Non-Qualified Contracts.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS
Introduction
The following information on taxes is a general discussion of the subject. It is not intended as tax advice. The Code and the provisions of the Code that govern the contract are complex and subject to change. The applicability of federal income tax rules may vary with your particular circumstances. This discussion does not include all the federal income tax rules that may affect you and your contract. Nor does this discussion address other federal tax consequences (such as estate and gift taxes, sales to foreign individuals or entities), or state or local tax consequences, which may affect your investment in the contract. As a result, you should always consult a tax adviser for complete information and advice applicable to your individual situation.
We are not responsible for determining if your employer’s plan or arrangement satisfies the requirements of the Code and/or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
We do not expect to incur federal, state or local income taxes on the earnings or realized capital gains attributable to the Separate Account. However, if we do incur such taxes in the future, we reserve the right to charge amounts allocated to the Separate Account for these taxes.
To the extent permitted under federal tax law, we may claim the benefit of the corporate dividends received deduction and of certain foreign tax credits attributable to taxes paid by certain of the Investment Portfolios to foreign jurisdictions.
For federal tax purposes, the term “spouse” refers to the person to whom you are lawfully married, regardless of
35

 


Table of Contents
sex. The term “spouse” generally will not include individuals who are in a registered domestic partnership or civil union not denominated as marriage under state or other applicable law.
Non-Qualified Contracts
This discussion assumes the contract is a “non-qualified” annuity contract for federal income tax purposes, that is, a Contract not held in a tax qualified plan. Tax qualified plans include arrangements described in Code Sections 401(a), 401(k), 403(a), 403(b) or tax sheltered annuities (TSA), 408 or “IRAs” (including SEP and SIMPLE IRAs), 408A or “Roth IRAs” and 457(b) plans. Contracts owned through such plans are referred to below as “Qualified Contracts.”
Accumulation
Generally, an Owner of a Non-Qualified Contract is not taxed on increases in the value of the contract until there is a distribution from the contract, i.e. surrender, partial withdrawal, income payment, or commutation. This deferral of taxation on accumulated value in the contract is limited to contracts owned by or held for the benefit of “natural persons.” A contract will be treated as held by a natural person if the nominal Owner is a trust or other entity which holds the contract as an agent for the exclusive benefit of a natural person.
In contrast, a contract owned by other than a “natural person,” such as a corporation, partnership, trust, or other entity (other than a trust holding the Contract as an agent for a natural person), will be taxed currently on the increase in accumulated value in the contract in the year earned. Note that in this regard, an employer which is the Owner of an annuity contract under a non-qualified deferred compensation arrangement for its employees, or others, is considered a non-natural Owner and any annual increase in the Account Value will be subject to current income taxation.
Surrenders or Withdrawals Early Distribution
If you take a withdrawal from your contract, or surrender your contract prior to the date you commence taking annuity or “income” payments (the “Annuity Starting Date”), the amount you receive will generally be treated first as coming from earnings, if any, (and thus subject to income tax) and then from your Purchase Payments (which are not subject to income tax). If the accumulated value is less than your Purchase Payments upon surrender of your contract, your ability to claim any unrecovered Purchase
Payments on your federal income tax return as a miscellaneous itemized deduction is suspended under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2026.
The portion of any withdrawal from an annuity contract that is subject to income tax will also be subject to a 10% federal income tax penalty for “early” distribution if such withdrawal is taken prior to you reaching age 59 12, unless an exception applies. Exceptions include distributions made:
(a)    on account of your death or disability,
(b)    as part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments made at least annually payable for your life (or life expectancy) or joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of you and your designated Beneficiary, or
(c)    under certain immediate income annuities.
If you receive systematic payments that you intend to qualify for the “substantially equal periodic payments” exception noted above, any modifications (except due to death or disability) to your payment before age 59 12 or within five years after beginning these payments, whichever is later, will result in the retroactive imposition of the 10% federal income tax penalty with interest. Such modifications may include but are not limited to additional Purchase Payments to the contract (including tax-free transfers or rollovers) and additional withdrawals from the contract.
Amounts received as a partial withdrawal may be fully includible in taxable income to the extent of gain in the contract.
If your contract has been purchased with an Optional Two Year Withdrawal Feature or is for a guaranteed period only (term certain) annuity, and is terminated as a result of the exercise of the withdrawal feature, the taxable portion of the payment will generally be the excess of the proceeds received over your remaining after-tax Purchase Payment.
Treatment of Separate Account Charges
It is possible that at some future date the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) may consider that contract charges attributable to certain guaranteed death benefits are to be treated as distributions from the contract to pay for such non-annuity benefits. Currently, these charges are considered to be an intrinsic part of the contract and we do
36

 


Table of Contents
not report these as taxable income. However, if this treatment changes in the future, the charge could also be subject to a 10% federal income tax penalty as an early distribution, as described above.
Aggregation
If you purchase two or more deferred annuity contracts after October 21, 1988, from us (or our predecessors or affiliates) during the same calendar year, the law requires that all such contracts must be treated as a single contract for purposes of determining whether any payments not received as an annuity (e.g., withdrawals) will be includible in income. Aggregation could affect the amount of a withdrawal that is taxable and subject to the 10% federal income tax penalty described above. Since the IRS may require aggregation in other circumstances as well, you should consult a tax adviser if you are purchasing more than one annuity contract from the same insurance company in a single calendar year. Aggregation does not affect distributions paid in the form of an annuity (see “Taxation of Payments in Annuity Form” below).
Exchanges/Transfers
The annuity contract may be exchanged in whole or in part for another annuity contract or a long-term care insurance policy. An exchange in whole of an annuity contract for another annuity contract or for a qualified long-term care insurance policy will generally be a tax-free transaction under Section 1035 of the Code. The partial exchange of an annuity contract may be a tax-free transaction provided that, among other prescribed IRS conditions, no amounts are distributed from either contract involved in the exchange for 180 days following the date of the exchange other than Annuity Payments made for life, joint lives, or for a term of 10 years or more. If a distribution is made from either contract within the 180-day period after the exchange or the exchange otherwise fails to satisfy other IRS prescriptions, the IRS reserves the right to characterize the exchange in a manner consistent with its substance, based on general tax principles and all the facts and circumstances. For instance, such distribution from either contract may be taxable to the extent of the combined gain attributable to both contracts, or only to the extent of your gain in the contract from which the distribution is paid. Some of the ramifications of a partial exchange remain unclear. You should consult your tax adviser concerning potential tax consequences prior to any partial exchange or split of annuity contracts.
A transfer of ownership of the contract, or the designation of an Annuitant or other Beneficiary who is not also the contract Owner, may result in income or gift tax consequences to the contract Owner. You should consult your tax adviser if you are considering such a transfer or assignment.
Death Benefits
For Non-Qualified Contracts, the death benefit is taxable to the recipient in the same manner as if paid to the contract Owner (under the rules for withdrawals or income payments, whichever is applicable).
After your death, any death benefit determined under the contract must be distributed according to certain rules. The method of distribution that is required depends on whether you die before or after the Annuity Starting Date.
If you die on or after the Annuity Starting Date, the remaining portion of the interest in the contract must be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used as of the date of death.
If you die before the Annuity Starting Date, the entire interest in the contract must be distributed within five (5) years after the date of death, or as periodic payments over a period not extending beyond the life or life expectancy of the designated Beneficiary (provided such payments begin within one year of your death) and the Beneficiary must be a natural person.
Additionally, if the annuity is payable to (or for the benefit of) your surviving spouse, that portion of the contract may be continued with your spouse as the Owner.
For contracts owned by a non-natural person, the required distribution rules apply upon the death of the Annuitant. If there is more than one Annuitant of a contract held by a non-natural person, then such required distributions will be triggered by the death of the first co-Annuitant.
Investor Control
In certain circumstances, Owners of Non-Qualified variable annuity contracts have been considered to be the owners of the assets of the underlying Separate Account for federal income tax purposes due to their ability to exercise investment control over those assets. When this is the case, the contract Owners have been currently taxed on income and gains attributable to the variable account assets. There is little guidance in this area, and some features of the contract, such as the number of Investment Portfolios available and the flexibility of the contract Owner to
37

 


Table of Contents
allocate Purchase Payments and transfer amounts among the Investment Portfolios have not been addressed in public rulings. While we believe that the contract does not give the contract Owner investment control over Separate Account assets, we reserve the right to modify the contract as necessary to prevent a contract Owner from being treated as the owner of the Separate Account assets supporting the contract.
Taxation of Payments in Annuity Form
Payments received from the contract in the form of an annuity are taxable as ordinary income to the extent they exceed the portion of the payment determined by applying the exclusion ratio to the entire payment. The exclusion ratio is determined at the time the contract is annuitized (i.e., the accumulated value is converted to an annuity form of distribution). Generally, the applicable exclusion ratio is your investment in the contract divided by the total payments expected to be received based on IRS factors, such as the form of annuity and mortality. The excludable portion of each Annuity Payment is the return of investment in the contract and it is excludable from your taxable income until your investment in the contract is fully recovered. We will make this calculation for you. However, it is possible that the IRS could conclude that the taxable portion of income payments under a Non-Qualified Contract is an amount greater or less — than the taxable amount determined by us and reported by us to you and the IRS.
Once you have recovered the investment in the contract, further Annuity Payments are fully taxable.
If you die before your investment in the contract is fully recovered, the balance of your investment may be deducted on your last tax return, or if Annuity Payments continue after your death, the balance may be recovered by your Beneficiary.
The IRS has not furnished explicit guidance as to how the excludable amount is to be determined each year under variable income annuities that permit transfers between a fixed annuity option and variable investment options, as well as transfers between investment options after the Annuity Starting Date.
Once Annuity Payments have commenced, you may not be able to transfer to another Non-Qualified Contract or a long-term care contract as part of a tax-free exchange.
If the contract allows, you may elect to convert less than the full value of your contract to an annuity form of pay-
out (i.e., “partial annuitization”). In this case, your investment in the contract will be pro-rated between the annuitized portion of the contract and the deferred portion. An exclusion ratio will apply to the Annuity Payments as described above, provided the annuity form you elect is payable for at least 10 years or for the life of one or more individuals.
3.8% Tax on Net Investment Income
Federal tax law imposes a 3.8% Net Investment Income tax on the lesser of:
(1)    the taxpayer’s “net investment income,” (from non-qualified annuities, interest, dividends, and other investments, offset by specified allowable deductions), or
(2)    the taxpayer’s modified adjusted gross income in excess of a specified income threshold ($250,000 for married couples filing jointly and qualifying widows, $125,000 for married couples filing separately, and $200,000 for single filers).
“Net investment income” in Item 1 above does not include distributions from tax qualified plans (i.e., arrangements described in Code Sections 401(a), 403(a), 403(b), 408, 408A, or 457(b)), but such income will increase modified adjusted gross income in Item 2 above.
You should consult your tax adviser regarding the applicability of this tax to income under your annuity contract.
Puerto Rico Tax Considerations
The Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 2011 (the “2011 PR Code”) taxes distributions from Non-Qualified Contracts differently than in the U.S.
Distributions that are not in the form of an annuity (including partial surrenders and period certain payments) are treated under the 2011 PR Code first as a return of investment. Therefore, a substantial portion of the amounts distributed generally will be excluded from gross income for Puerto Rico tax purposes until the cumulative amount paid exceeds your tax basis.
The amount of income on annuity distributions in annuity form (payable over your lifetime) is also calculated differently under the 2011 PR Code. Since the U.S. source income generated by a Puerto Rico bona fide resident is subject to U.S. income tax and the IRS issued guidance in 2004 which indicated that the income from an annuity contract issued by a U.S. life insurer would be considered
38

 


Table of Contents
U.S. source income, the timing of recognition of income from an annuity contract could vary between the two jurisdictions. Although the 2011 PR Code provides a credit against the Puerto Rico income tax for U.S. income taxes paid, an individual may not get full credit because of the timing differences.
You should consult with a personal tax adviser regarding the tax consequences of purchasing an annuity contract and/or any proposed distribution, particularly a partial distribution or election to annuitize if you are a resident of Puerto Rico.
Qualified Contracts
Introduction
The contract may be purchased through certain types of retirement plans that receive favorable treatment under the Code (“tax qualified plans” or “qualified plans”). Tax-qualified plans include arrangements described in Code Sections 401(a), 401(k), 403(a), 403(b) or tax sheltered annuities (TSA), 408 or “IRAs” (including SEP and SIMPLE IRAs), 408A or “Roth IRAs” and 457(b) plans. Extensive special tax rules apply to qualified plans and to the annuity contracts used in connection with these plans. Therefore, the following discussion provides only general information about the use of the contract with the various types of qualified plans. Adverse tax consequences may result if you do not ensure that contributions, distributions and other transactions with respect to the contract comply with the law.
The rights to any benefit under the plan will be subject to the terms and conditions of the plan itself as well as the terms and conditions of the contract.
We exercise no control over whether a particular retirement plan or a particular contribution to the plan satisfies the applicable requirements of the Code, or whether a particular individual is entitled to participate or benefit under a plan.
All qualified plans and arrangements receive tax deferral under the Code. Since there are no additional tax benefits in funding such retirement arrangements with an annuity, there should be reasons other than tax deferral for acquiring the annuity within the plan. Such non-tax benefits may include additional insurance benefits, such as the availability of a guaranteed income for life.
A contract may also be available in connection with an employer’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan or qualified governmental excess benefit arrangement to
provide benefits to certain employees in the plan. The tax rules regarding these plans are complex. Please consult your tax adviser about your particular situation.
Accumulation
The tax rules applicable to qualified plans vary according to the type of plan and the terms and conditions of the plan itself. Both the amount of the contribution that may be made and the tax deduction or exclusion that you may claim for that contribution under qualified plans are limited under the Code. See the SAI for a description of qualified plan types and annual current contribution limitations, which are subject to change from year-to-year.
Purchase payments or contributions to IRAs or tax qualified retirement plans of an employer may be taken from current income on a before tax basis or after tax basis. Purchase payments made on a “before tax” basis entitle you to a tax deduction or are not subject to current income tax. Purchase payments made on an “after tax” basis do not reduce your taxable income or give you a tax deduction. Contributions may also consist of transfers or rollovers as described below and are not subject to the annual limitations on contributions.
An IRA Contract will accept as a single Purchase Payment a transfer or rollover from another IRA (including a SEP or SIMPLE IRA) or rollover from an eligible retirement plan of an employer (i.e., 401(a), 401(k), 403(a), 403(b), or governmental 457(b) plan). A rollover or transfer from a SIMPLE IRA is allowed provided that the taxpayer has participated in such arrangement for at least two years. As part of the single Purchase Payment, the IRA contract will also accept an IRA contribution subject to the Code limits for the year of purchase.
For income annuities established as “pay-outs” of SIMPLE IRAs, the contract will only accept a single Purchase Payment consisting of a transfer or rollover from another SIMPLE IRA. For income annuities established in accordance with a distribution option under a retirement plan of an employer (e.g., 401(a), 401(k), 403(a), 403(b), or 457(b) plan), the contract will only accept as its single Purchase Payment a transfer from such employer retirement plan.
Taxation of Annuity Distributions
If contributions are made on a “before tax” basis, you generally pay income taxes on the full amount of money you receive under the contract. Withdrawals attributable to any after-tax contributions are basis in the contract and not
39

 


Table of Contents
subject to income tax (except for the portion of the withdrawal allocable to earnings, if any).
Under current federal income tax rules, the taxable portion of distributions under annuity contracts and qualified plans (including IRAs) is not eligible for the reduced tax rate applicable to long-term capital gains and qualifying dividends.
If you meet certain requirements, your Roth IRA, Roth 403(b) and Roth 401(k) earnings can be received free of federal income taxes.
With respect to IRA contracts, we will withhold a portion of the taxable amount of your withdrawal for income taxes, unless you elect otherwise. The amount we will withhold is determined by the Code.
Withdrawals Prior to Age 59 12
A taxable withdrawal from a Qualified Contract which is subject to income tax may also be subject to a 10% federal income tax penalty for “early” distribution if taken prior to age 59 12, unless an exception described below applies. The penalty rate is 25% for SIMPLE IRA plan contracts if the withdrawal occurs within the first 2 years of your participation in the plan.
Exceptions to the early distribution penalty for qualified plans include withdrawals or distributions made:
(a)    on account of your death or disability,
(b)    as part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments payable for your life (or life expectancy) or joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of you and your designated Beneficiary and you are separated from employment,
(c)    on separation from service after age 55. This rule does not apply to IRAs (including SEPs and SIMPLE IRAs).
(d)    pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order (“QDRO”). This rule does not apply to IRAs (including SEPs and SIMPLE IRAs).
(e)    to pay IRS levies (and made after December 31, 1999),
(f)    to pay deductible medical expenses, or
(g)    in the case of IRAs only, to pay for medical insurance (if you are unemployed), qualified higher education expenses, or for a qualified first-time home purchase up to $10,000.
Other exceptions may be applicable under certain circumstances and special rules apply or may become applicable in connection with the exceptions enumerated above.
If you receive systematic payments that you intend to qualify for the “substantially equal periodic payments” exception noted above, any modifications (except due to death or disability) to your payment before age 59 12 or within five years after beginning these payments, whichever is later, will result in the retroactive imposition of the 10% federal income tax penalty with interest. Such modifications may include but are not limited to additional Purchase Payments to the contract (including tax-free transfers or rollovers) and additional withdrawals from the contract.
The 10% federal income tax penalty on early distribution does not apply to governmental 457(b) plan contracts. However, it does apply to distributions from 457(b) plans of employers which are state or local governments to the extent that the distribution is attributable to rollovers accepted from other types of eligible retirement plans.
Commutation Features Under Income Payment Types
Please be advised that the tax consequences resulting from the election of income payment types containing a commutation feature (a feature that allows the Owner to receive a lump sum of the present value of future Annuity Payments) are uncertain and the IRS may determine that the taxable amount of income payments and withdrawals received for any year could be greater than or less than the taxable amount reported by us. The exercise of the commutation feature also may result in adverse tax consequences including:
The imposition of a 10% federal income tax penalty on the taxable amount of the commuted value, if the taxpayer has not attained age 59 12 at the time the withdrawal is made. This 10% federal income tax penalty is in addition to the ordinary income tax on the taxable amount of the commuted value.
The retroactive imposition of the 10% federal income tax penalty on income payments received prior to the taxpayer attaining age 59 12.
The possibility that the exercise of the commutation feature could adversely affect the amount excluded from federal income tax under any income payments made after such commutation.
40

 


Table of Contents
A payee should consult with his or her own tax adviser prior to electing to annuitize the contract and prior to exercising any commutation feature under an income payment type.
Rollovers and Transfers
Your contract is non-forfeitable (i.e., not subject to the claims of your creditors) and non-transferable (i.e., you may not transfer it to someone else).
Nevertheless, contracts held in certain employer plans subject to ERISA may be transferred in part pursuant to a QDRO.
Under certain circumstances, you may be able to transfer amounts distributed from your contract to another eligible retirement plan or IRA. For 457(b) plans maintained by non-governmental employers, if certain conditions are met, amounts may be transferred into another 457(b) plan maintained by a non-governmental employer.
You may make rollovers and direct transfers into your SIMPLE IRA annuity contract from another SIMPLE IRA annuity contract or account. Rollovers from another qualified plan can generally be made to your SIMPLE IRA after you have participated in the SIMPLE IRA for at least two years.
Rollovers and direct transfers from a SIMPLE IRA can only be made to another SIMPLE IRA or account during the first two years that you participate in the SIMPLE IRA plan. After this two-year period, rollovers and transfers may be made from your SIMPLE IRA into a Traditional IRA or account, as well as into another SIMPLE IRA.
Federal income tax law allows you to make only one rollover from an IRA to another (or the same) IRA in any 12-month period, regardless of the number of IRAs you own. Generally, this limit does not apply to trustee-to-trustee transfers between IRAs. Because the rollover rules are complex, please consult with your tax advisor before making an IRA rollover.
Generally, a distribution may be eligible for rollover but certain types of distributions cannot be rolled over, such as distributions received on account of:
(a)    minimum distribution requirements,
(b)    financial hardship; or
(c)    for a period of ten or more years or for life.
20% Withholding on Eligible Rollover Distributions
For certain qualified employer plans, we are required to withhold 20% of the taxable portion of your withdrawal that constitutes an “eligible rollover distribution” for federal income taxes. The amount we withhold is determined by the Code. You may avoid withholding if you directly transfer a withdrawal from this contract to another IRA or other qualified plan. Similarly, you may be able to avoid withholding on a transfer into this contract from an existing qualified plan you may have with another provider by arranging to have the transfer made directly to us. For taxable withdrawals that are not “eligible rollover distributions,” the Code imposes different withholding rules to determine the withholding percentage.
Death Benefits
The death benefit in a Qualified Contract is taxable to the recipient in the same manner as if paid to the contract Owner or plan participant (under the rules for withdrawals or income payments, whichever is applicable).
Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) amounts are required to be distributed from a Qualified annuity Contract (including a contract issued as a Roth IRA) following your death. Congress recently changed the RMD rules for individuals who die after 2019. The after-death RMD rules are complex, and you should consult your tax adviser about how they may apply to your situation.
Effective January 1, 2020, when an IRA owner or participant in a defined contribution plan dies, any remaining interest generally must be distributed within 10 years (or in some cases five years) after his or her death, unless an exception applies. An exception permits an “eligible designated beneficiary” to take distributions over life or a period not exceeding life expectancy, subject to special rules and limitations. An “eligible designated beneficiary” includes: the IRA owner/participant’s spouse or minor child (until the child reaches age of majority), certain disabled or chronically ill individuals, and an individual who is not more than 10 years younger than the IRA owner/participant. We may limit any payment option over life, or a period not exceeding life expectancy, to certain categories of eligible designed beneficiary.
Generally, distributions under this exception must start by the end of the year following your death. However, if your surviving spouse is the sole designated beneficiary, distributions may generally be delayed until December 31
41

 


Table of Contents
of the year you would have attained age 72 (age 70 12, if you were born on or before June 30, 1949), if your contract permits.
If you die after Annuity Payments have already begun under a Qualified Contract, any remaining payments under the contract also must be made in accordance with the RMD rules. In some cases, those rules may require that the remaining payments be made over a shorter period than originally elected or otherwise adjusted to comply with the tax law.
Regardless of whether you die before or after your Required Beginning Date, the following will be applicable:
If your surviving spouse is the sole designated beneficiary of your Traditional or Roth IRA, then your surviving spouse may elect to treat the Traditional or Roth IRA as his or her own.
Your designated Beneficiary is the person to whom benefit rights under the contract pass by reason of death. The Beneficiary generally must be a natural person in order to elect a periodic payment option based on life expectancy or a period exceeding five years. Different tax rules may apply if your Beneficiary is not a natural person, such as your estate.
Your spouse may be able to rollover the death proceeds into another eligible retirement plan in which he or she participates, if permitted under the receiving plan, or he or she may elect to rollover the death proceeds into his or her own IRA, or he or she may elect to transfer the death proceeds into an inherited IRA.
If your Beneficiary is not your spouse and your plan and contract permit, your Beneficiary may be able to rollover the death proceeds via a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer into an inherited IRA. However, a non-spouse Beneficiary may not treat the inherited IRA as his or her own IRA.
Additionally, for contracts issued in connection with qualified plans subject to ERISA, the spouse or ex-spouse of the participant may have rights in the contract. In such a case, the participant may need the consent of the spouse or ex-spouse to change annuity options or make a withdrawal from the contract.
Required Minimum Distributions
Generally, you must begin receiving RMD amounts from your Qualified Contract by the Required Beginning Date. Generally, for retirement plans, the “Required Minimum Date” is April 1 following the later of:
(a)    the calendar year in which you reach age 72 (age 70 12, if you were born on or before June 30, 1949), or
(b)    the calendar year you retire, provided you do not own more than 5% of the outstanding stock, capital, or profits of your employer.
For IRAs (including SEPs and SIMPLEs), the Required Beginning Date by which you must begin receiving withdrawals is the year in which you attain age 72 (age 70 12, if you were born on or before June 30, 1949), even if you have not retired, taking your first distribution no later than April 1 of the year after you reach age 72 (age 70 12, if you were born on or before June 30, 1949).
For all subsequent years, including the first year in which you took your RMD by April 1, you must take the required minimum distribution for the year by December 31st. This will require you to take two distributions in the same calendar year if you wait to take your first distribution until April 1 of the year after attaining age 72 (age 70 12, if you were born on or before June 30, 1949).
A tax penalty of 50% applies to the shortfall of any required minimum distribution you fail to receive.
You may not satisfy minimum distributions for one employer’s qualified plan (e.g., 401(a), 403(a), 457(b)) with distributions from another qualified plan of the same or a different employer. However, an aggregation rule does apply in the case of IRAs (including SEP and SIMPLE IRAs) or 403(b) plans. The minimum required distribution is calculated with respect to each IRA, but the aggregate distribution may be taken from any one or more of your IRAs/SEPs. Similarly, the amount of required minimum distribution is calculated separately with respect to each 403(b) arrangement, but the aggregate amount of the required distribution may be taken from any one or more of your 403(b) plan contracts. For SIMPLE IRAs, the aggregate amount of the required distribution may be taken from any one or more of your SIMPLE IRAs.
The regulations also require that the value of benefits under a deferred annuity including certain death benefits in excess of contract value must be added to the amount credited to your account in computing the amount required to be
42

distributed over the applicable period. We will provide you with additional information regarding the amount that is subject to minimum distribution under this rule. You should consult your own tax adviser as to how these rules affect your own distribution under this rule.
If you intend to receive your minimum distributions in the form of Annuity Payments that are payable over the joint lives of you and a Beneficiary or over a guaranteed duration of more than 10 years, be advised that federal tax law may require that, after your death, any remaining payments be made over a shorter period or be reduced after your death to satisfy the RMD rules and avoid the 50% excise tax. Other complex rules also apply to RMDs taken in the form of Annuity Payments. You should consult your own tax adviser as to how these rules affect your own contract.
Required minimum distribution rules that apply to other types of IRAs while you are alive do not apply to Roth IRAs. However, in general, the IRA post-death rules with respect to minimum distributions apply to beneficiaries of Roth IRAs.
Additional Information Regarding TSA (ERISA and Non-ERISA) 403(b)
Special Rules Regarding Exchanges. In order to satisfy tax regulations, contract exchanges within a 403(b) plan after September 24, 2007, must, at a minimum, meet the following requirements: (1) the plan must allow the exchange; (2) the exchange must not result in a reduction in a participant’s or a Beneficiary’s accumulated benefit: (3) the receiving contract includes distribution restrictions that are no less stringent than those imposed on the contract being exchanged; and (4) if the issuer receiving the exchanges is not part of the plan, the employer enters into an agreement with the issuer to provide information to enable the contract provider to comply with Code requirements. Such information would include details concerning severance from employment, hardship withdrawals, loans and tax basis. You should consult your tax or legal counsel for any advice relating to contract exchanges or any other matter relating to these regulations.
Withdrawals. If you are under age 59 12, you generally cannot withdraw money from your TSA contract unless the withdrawal:
(a) related to Purchase Payments made prior to 1989 and pre-1989 earnings on those Purchase Payments;
(b) is exchanged to another permissible investment under your 403(b) plan;
(c) relates to contributions to an annuity contract that are not salary reduction elective deferrals, if your plan allows it;
(d) occurs after you die, leave your job or become disabled (as defined by the Code);
(e)
is for financial hardship (but only to the extent of elective deferrals), if your plan allows it;
(f) relates to distributions attributable to certain TSA plan terminations, if the conditions of the Code are met;
(g) relates to rollover or after-tax contributions; or
(h) is for the purchase of permissive service credit under a governmental defined benefit plan.
In addition, a Section 403(b) contract is permitted to distribute retirement benefits attributable to pre-tax contributions other than elective deferrals to the participant no earlier than upon the earlier of the participant’s severance from employment or upon the prior occurrence of some event, such as after a fixed number of years, the attainment of a stated age or disability.
Additional Information Regarding IRAs
Purchase Payments. Traditional IRA Purchase Payments (except for permissible rollovers and direct transfers) are limited in the aggregate to the lesser of 100% of compensation or the deductible amount established each year under the Code.A Purchase Payment up to the deductible amount can also be made for a non-working spouse provided the couple’s compensation is at least equal to their aggregate contributions. Individuals age 50 and older are permitted to make additional “catch-up” contributions if they have sufficient compensation. If you or your spouse are an active participant in a retirement plan of an employer, your deductible contributions may be limited. If you exceed Purchase Payment limits you may be subject to a tax penalty.
Roth IRA Purchase Payments for individuals are non-deductible (made on an “after tax” basis) and are limited to the lesser of 100% of compensation or the annual deductible IRA amount. Individuals age 50 and older can make an additional “catch-up” Purchase Payment each year (assuming the individual has sufficient compensation). You may contribute up to the annual Purchase Payment
43

 


Table of Contents
limit if your modified adjusted gross income does not exceed certain limits. If you exceed Purchase Payment limits, you may be subject to a tax penalty.
Withdrawals. If and to the extent that Traditional IRA Purchase Payments are made on an “after tax” basis, withdrawals would be included in income except for the portion that represents a return of non-deductible Purchase Payments. This portion is generally determined based upon the ratio of all non-deductible Purchase Payments to the total value of all your Traditional IRAs (including SEP IRAs and SIMPLE IRAs). We withhold a portion of the amount of your withdrawal for income taxes, unless you elect otherwise. The amount we withhold is determined by the Code.
Generally, withdrawal of earnings from Roth IRAs are free from federal income tax if: (1) they are made at least five taxable years after the tax year for which you made your first Purchase Payment to a Roth IRA; and (2) they are made on or after the date you reach age 59 12 or upon your death, disability or for a qualified first-home purchase (up to $10,000). Withdrawals from a Roth IRA are made first from Purchase Payments and then from earnings. We may be required to withhold a portion of your withdrawal for income taxes, unless you elect otherwise. The amount will be determined by the Code.
Conversion. Traditional IRAs may be converted to Roth IRAs. Except to the extent you have non-deductible contributions, the amount converted from an existing Traditional IRA into a Roth IRA is taxable. Generally, the 10% federal income tax penalty does not apply. However, the taxable amount to be converted must be based on the fair market value of the entire annuity contract being converted into a Roth IRA. Such fair market value, in general, is to be determined by taking into account the value of all benefits (both living benefits and death benefits) in addition to the Account Value; as well as adding back certain loads and charges incurred during the prior twelve month period. Your contract may include such benefits and applicable charges. Accordingly, if you are considering such conversion of your annuity contract, please consult your tax adviser. The taxable amount may exceed the Account Value at the date of conversion.
Prior to 2018, contributions made to a Traditional IRA that were converted to a Roth IRA could be recharacterized as made back to the Traditional IRA, if certain conditions were met. Under a provision of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, recharacterization cannot be used to unwind a conversion
from a Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017. For conversions made to a Roth IRA in 2017, the IRS has issued guidance allowing recharacterizations to be made in 2018.
Distinction for Puerto Rico Code
An annuity contract may be purchased by an employer for an employee under a qualified pension, profit sharing, stock bonus, annuity, or a “cash or deferred” arrangement plan established pursuant to Section 1081.01 of the 2011 PR Code. To be tax qualified under the 2011 PR Code, a plan must comply with the requirements of Section 1081.01(a) of the 2011 PR Code which includes certain participation requirements, among other requirements. A trust created to hold assets for a qualified plan is exempt from tax on its investment income.
Contributions. The employer is entitled to a current income tax deduction for contributions made to a qualified plan, subject to statutory limitations on the amount that may be contributed each year. The plan contributions by the employer are not required to be included in the current income of the employee.
Distributions. Any amount received or made available to the employee under the qualified plan is includible in the gross income of the employee in the taxable year in which received or made available. In such case, the amount paid or contributed by the employer shall not constitute consideration paid by the employee for the contract for purposes of determining the amount of Annuity Payments required to be included in the employee’s gross income. Thus, amounts actually distributed or made available to any employee under the qualified plan will be included in their entirety in the employee’s gross income. The value of accrued benefits in a qualified retirement plan with respect to which the special 8% tax under Puerto Rico Act No. 77-2014 was prepaid will be considered as part of the participant’s tax basis in his retirement plan account. Thus, any distributions attributable to the benefits for which such taxes were prepaid will not be subject to income taxes when the same are subsequently received by the participant. However, the investment income and the appreciation in value, if any, accrued on the benefits with respect to which the special tax was prepaid, will be taxed as provided by the tax rules in effect at the time of distribution. Lump-sum proceeds from a Puerto Rico qualified retirement plan due to separation of employment or termination of a retirement plan will generally be treated as ordinary income but will be subject to a withholding tax
44

 


Table of Contents
rate of 20%.A special withholding tax rate of 10% may apply instead, if the plan satisfies the following requirements:
(1)    the plan’s trust is organized under the laws of Puerto Rico, or has a Puerto Rico resident trustee and uses such trustee as paying agent; and
(2)    10% of all plan’s trust assets (calculated based on the average balance of the investments of the trust) attributable to participants who are Puerto Rico residents must be invested in “property located in Puerto Rico” for a three-year period.
If these two requirements are not satisfied, the distribution will generally be subject to the 20% tax rate. The three-year period includes the year of the distribution and the two immediately preceding years. In the case of a defined contribution plan that maintains separate accounts for each participant, the described 10% investment requirement may be satisfied in the accounts of a participant that chooses to invest in such fashion rather than at the trust level. Property located in Puerto Rico includes shares of stock of a Puerto Rico registered investment company, fixed or variable annuities issued by a domestic insurance company or by a foreign insurance corporation that derives more than 80% of its gross income from sources within Puerto Rico, and bank deposits. The 2011 PR Code does not impose a penalty tax in cases of early (premature) distributions from a qualified plan.
In the case of distributions from a qualified plan in the form of annuity or installments as a result of termination of employment, amounts received are taxable in an amount equal to 3% of the after-tax contributions not previously distributed, which would be considered the tax cost. The remaining portion is not taxable until you have recovered the total after-tax contributions made to the qualified plan. You may be able to exclude from gross income up to $11,000, if you are less than 60 years of age, or up to $15,000, if you are at least 60 years of age, of the taxable portion of the installment payments received every year. The above-described distributions that exceed the amount of $35,000 during a taxable year (amount which includes the annual exclusion of $15,000) for retirees that are 60 years old or older, and $31,000 (amount which includes the annual exclusion of $11,000) for other retirees plus the recovery of the consideration paid for the annuity following the 3% recognition of income rule described above, will generally constitute ordinary income subject to a 10% withholding tax.
Upon the occurrence of a “Declared Disaster”, like a hurricane, Retirement Plans are allowed to make Eligible Distributions to a participant resident of Puerto Rico who requests the same. The Eligible Distribution may not exceed $100,000, be made during a period of time to be identified by the Puerto Rico Treasury through administrative guidance and be used to cover damages or losses suffered, and extraordinary expenses incurred by the individual as a result of the Declared Disaster. The first $10,000 will be exempted from income taxation, including the alternate basic tax, and amounts exceeding $10,000 will be subject to a 10% income tax to be withheld at the source, in lieu of any other income tax, including the alternate basic tax.
You should consult with a personal tax adviser regarding the tax consequences of purchasing an annuity contract and/or any proposed distribution if you are a resident of Puerto Rico.
In contrast, in the case of a distribution to a Non-Puerto Rico resident of retirement income, as such term is defined in 4 U.S.C. Section 114(a) made by a dual qualified plan, i.e., a plan qualified under Code Section 401 and under Section 1081.01 of the 2011 PR Code, and funded through a U.S. Trust, said distribution is not subject to Puerto Rico income tax. The individual must not be a Puerto Rico resident at the time of distribution.
Rollover. Deferral of the recognition of income continues upon the receipt of a distribution by a participant from a qualified plan, if the distribution is contributed to another qualified retirement plan or traditional individual retirement account for the employee’s benefit no later than sixty (60) days after the distribution.
ERISA Considerations. In the context of a Puerto Rico qualified retirement plan trust, the IRS has held that the transfer of assets and liabilities from a qualified retirement plan trust under the Code to that type of plan would generally be treated as a distribution includible in gross income for U.S. income tax purposes even if the Puerto Rico retirement plan is a plan described in ERISA Section 1022(i)(1). By contrast, a transfer from a qualified retirement plan trust under the Code to a Puerto Rico qualified retirement plan trust that has made an election under ERISA Section 1022(i)(2) is not treated as a distribution from the transferor plan for U.S. income tax purposes because a Puerto Rico retirement plan that has made an election under ERISA Section 1022(i)(2) is treated as a qualified retirement plan for purposes Code

Table of Contents
Section 401(a). The IRS has determined that the above described rules prescribing the inclusion in income of transfers of assets and liabilities to a Puerto Rico retirement plan trust described in ERISA Section 1022(i)(1) would be applicable to transfers taking effect after December 31, 2012. Notwithstanding the above, the IRS has held that a Puerto Rico retirement plan described in ERISA Section 1022(i)(1) may participate in a 81-100 group trust because it permits said plan to diversify its investments without adverse tax consequences to the group trust or its investors.
Pursuant to guidance promulgated by the DOL, where the Secretary of Labor has authority to regulate with respect to the provisions of ERISA dealing with the use of the term “spouse,” spouse will be read to refer to any individuals who are lawfully married under any state law, including same-sex spouses, and without regard to whether their state of domicile recognizes same-sex marriage. Thus, for ERISA purposes as well as federal tax purposes, an employee benefit plan participant who marries a person of the same sex in a jurisdiction that recognizes same-sex marriage will continue to be treated as married even if the couple moves to a jurisdiction that does not recognize same-sex marriage.
OTHER INFORMATION
Brighthouse Life Insurance Company
Brighthouse Life Insurance Company (BLIC) is a stock life insurance company originally chartered in Connecticut in 1863 and currently subject to the laws of the State of Delaware. Prior to March 6, 2017, BLIC was known as MetLife Insurance Company USA. BLIC is licensed to conduct business in all states of the United States, except New York, and in the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. and British Virgin Islands and the Bahamas. BLIC is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of, and ultimately controlled by, Brighthouse Financial, Inc. (“BHF”), a publicly-traded company. BHF, through its subsidiaries and affiliates, is one of the largest providers of annuity and life insurance products in the U.S. BLIC’s executive offices are located at 11225 North Community House Road, Charlotte, NC 28277.
PrimElite IIISM is a service mark of Primerica, Inc. and its Affiliates and is used under license by Brighthouse Life Insurance Company and its Affiliates.
The Separate Account
We have established a Separate Account, Brighthouse Separate Account A (Separate Account), to hold the assets that underlie the contracts. The Board of Directors of our predecessor, MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (MetLife Investors), adopted a resolution to establish the Separate Account under Delaware insurance law on May 29, 1980. We have registered the Separate Account with the SEC as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Separate Account is divided into subaccounts.
The Separate Account’s assets are solely for the benefit of those who invest in the Separate Account and no one else, including our creditors. The assets of the Separate Account are held in our name on behalf of the Separate Account and legally belong to us. All the income, gains and losses (realized or unrealized) resulting from these assets are credited to or charged against the contracts issued from this Separate Account without regard to our other business.
We reserve the right to transfer assets of the Separate Account to another account, and to modify the structure or operation of the Separate Account, subject to necessary regulatory approvals. If we do so, we will notify you of any such changes and we guarantee that the modification will not affect your Account Value.
We are obligated to pay all money we owe under the contracts — such as death benefits and income payments — even if that amount exceeds the assets in the Separate Account. Any such amount that exceeds the assets in the Separate Account is paid from our general account. Any amount under any optional death benefit that exceeds the assets in the Separate Account is also paid from our general account. Benefit amounts paid from the general account are subject to our financial strength and claims paying ability and our long term ability to make such payments. We issue other annuity contracts and life insurance policies where we pay all money we owe under those contracts and policies from our general account. BLIC is regulated as an insurance company under state law, which generally includes limits on the amount and type of investments in our general account. However, there is no guarantee that we will be able to meet our claims paying obligations; there are risks to purchasing any insurance product.
The investment advisers to certain of the Investment Portfolios offered with the contracts or with other variable annuity contracts issued through the Separate Account may
46

be regulated as Commodity Pool Operators. While it does not concede that the Separate Account is a commodity pool, BLIC has claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” under the Commodities Exchange Act (CEA), and is not subject to registration or regulation as a pool operator under the CEA.
Distributor
We have entered into a distribution agreement with our affiliate, Brighthouse Securities, LLC (Distributor), 11225 North Community House Road, Charlotte, NC 28277, for the distribution of the contracts. Both the Company and Distributor are indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of BHF. Distributor is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). FINRA provides background information about broker-dealers and their registered representatives through FINRA BrokerCheck. You may contact the FINRA BrokerCheck Hotline at 1-800-289-9999, or log on to www.finra.org. An investor brochure that includes information describing FINRA BrokerCheck is available through the Hotline or on-line.
Distributor, and in certain cases, we, have entered into selling agreements with unaffiliated selling firms for the sale of the contracts. No selling firms are affiliated with us or Distributor. We pay compensation to Distributor for sales of the contracts by selling firms. We also pay amounts to Distributor that may be used for its operating and other expenses, including the following sales expenses: compensation and bonuses for Distributor’s management team and other expenses of distributing the contracts. Distributor’s management team and registered representatives also may be eligible for non-cash compensation items that we may provide jointly with Distributor. Non-cash items include conferences, seminars and trips (including travel, lodging and meals in connection therewith), entertainment, merchandise and other similar items.
Certain Investment Portfolios make payments to Distributor under their distribution plans in consideration of services provided and expenses incurred by Distributor in distributing shares of the Investment Portfolios. (See the Investment Portfolio prospectuses for more information.) These payments range up to 0.25% of Separate Account assets invested in the particular Investment Portfolio.
Selling Firms
As noted above, Distributor, and in certain cases, we, have entered into selling agreements with unaffiliated selling
firms for the sale of the contracts. All selling firms receive commissions, and they may also receive some form of non-cash compensation. Certain selected selling firms receive additional compensation (described below under “Additional Compensation for Selected Selling Firms”). These commissions and other incentives or payments are not charged directly to contract Owners or the Separate Account. We intend to recoup commissions and other sales expenses through fees and charges deducted under the contract or from our general account. A portion of the payments made to selling firms may be passed on to their sales representatives in accordance with the selling firms' internal compensation programs. Those programs may also include other types of cash and non-cash compensation and other benefits. Financial representatives of the selling firms may also receive non-cash compensation, pursuant to their firm’s guidelines, directly from us or Distributor.
Compensation Paid to Selling Firms. Distributor pays compensation to all selling firms in the form of commissions and may also provide certain types of non-cash compensation. The maximum commission payable for contract sales and additional Purchase Payments by selling firms is 7.25% of Purchase Payments, along with annual trail commissions up to 0.25% of Account Value (less Purchase Payments received within the previous 12 months) for so long as the contract remains in effect or as agreed in the selling agreement. Distributor also pays commissions when a contract Owner elects to begin receiving regular income payments (referred to as “Annuity Payments”). (See “Annuity Payments (The Income Phase).”) Distributor may also provide non-cash compensation items that we may provide jointly with Distributor. Non-cash items may include expenses for conference or seminar trips, certain gifts, prizes, and awards.
Ask your financial representative for further information about what payments your financial representative and the selling firm for which he or she works may receive in connection with your purchase of a contract.
Additional Compensation for Selected Selling Firms. Distributor has entered into distribution arrangements with certain selected unaffiliated selling firms. Under these arrangements, Distributor may pay additional compensation to selected selling firms, including marketing allowances, introduction fees, persistency payments, preferred status fees and industry conference fees. Marketing allowances are periodic payments to certain selling firms, the amount of which may be an
47

 


Table of Contents
annual flat fee or, in many cases, depends on cumulative periodic (usually quarterly) sales of our insurance contracts (including the contracts offered by this prospectus) and may also depend on meeting thresholds in the sale of certain of our insurance contracts (other than the contracts offered by this prospectus). They may also include payments we make to cover the cost of marketing or other support services provided for or by registered representatives who may sell our products. Introduction fees are payments to selling firms in connection with the addition of our products to the selling firm’s line of investment products, including expenses relating to establishing the data communications systems necessary for the selling firm to offer, sell and administer our products. Persistency payments are periodic payments based on Account Values of our variable insurance contracts (including Account Values of the contracts) or other persistency standards. Preferred status fees are paid to obtain preferred treatment in selling firms’ marketing programs, which may include marketing services, participation in marketing meetings, listings in data resources and increased access to their sales representatives. Industry conference fees are amounts paid to cover in part the costs associated with sales conferences and educational seminars for selling firms’ financial representatives. Distributor has entered into such distribution agreements with the selling firms identified in the Statement of Additional Information.
The additional types of compensation discussed above are not offered to all selling firms. The terms of any particular agreement governing compensation may vary among selling firms and the amounts may be significant. The prospect of receiving, or the receipt of, additional compensation as described above may provide selling firms and/or their sales representatives with an incentive to favor sales of the contracts over other variable annuity contracts (or other investments) with respect to which selling firm does not receive additional compensation, or lower levels of additional compensation. You may wish to take such payment arrangements into account when considering and evaluating any recommendation relating to the contracts. For more information about any such additional compensation arrangements, ask your financial representative. (See the Statement of Additional Information — “Distribution” for a list of selling firms that received compensation during 2020, as well as the range of additional compensation paid.)
Requests and Elections
We will treat your request for a contract transaction, or your submission of a Purchase Payment, as received by us if we receive a request conforming to our administrative procedures or a payment at our Annuity Service Center before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on that day. We will treat your submission of a Purchase Payment as received by us if we receive a payment at our Annuity Service Center (or a designee receives a payment in accordance with the designee's administrative procedures) before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on that day. If we receive the request, or if we (or our designee) receive the payment, after the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange on that day, or if the New York Stock Exchange is not open that day, then the request or payment will be treated as received on the next day when the New York Stock Exchange is open. Our Annuity Service Center is located at P.O. Box 305075, Nashville, TN 37230-5075. If you send your Purchase Payments or transaction requests to an address other than the one we have designated for receipt of such Purchase Payments or requests, we may return the Purchase Payment to you, or there may be a delay in applying the Purchase Payment or transaction to your contract.

representatives to convey transaction requests by telephone or Internet on your behalf.
We will use reasonable procedures such as requiring certain identifying information, tape recording the telephone instructions, and providing written confirmation of the transaction, in order to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone, fax, Internet or other means are genuine. Any telephone, fax or Internet instructions reasonably believed by us to be genuine will be your responsibility, including losses arising from any errors in the communication of instructions. As a result of this policy, you will bear the risk of loss. If we do not employ reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone, fax or Internet are genuine, we may be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent transactions. All other requests and elections under your contract must be in writing signed by the proper party, must include any necessary documentation and must be received at our Annuity Service Center to be effective. If acceptable to us, requests or elections relating to Beneficiaries and Ownership will take effect as of the date signed unless we have already acted in reliance on the prior status. We are not responsible for the validity of any written request or action.
We are not a fiduciary and do not give advice or make recommendations regarding insurance or investment products. Ask your financial representative for guidance regarding any requests or elections and for information about your particular investment needs. Please bear in mind that your financial representative, or any financial firm or financial professional you consult to provide advice, is not acting on our behalf. We do not recommend and are not responsible for any securities transactions or investment strategies involving securities (including account recommendations).
Good Order. A request or transaction generally is considered in Good Order if it complies with our administrative procedures and the required information is complete and accurate. A request or transaction may be rejected or delayed if not in Good Order. Good Order generally means the actual receipt by us of the instructions relating to the requested transaction in writing (or, when permitted, by telephone or Internet as described above) along with all forms, information and supporting legal documentation necessary to effect the transaction. This information and documentation generally includes to the extent applicable to the transaction: your completed application; your contract number; the transaction amount
(in dollars or percentage terms); the names and allocations to and/or from the Investment Portfolios affected by the requested transaction; the signatures of all contract Owners (exactly as indicated on the contract), if necessary; Social Security Number or Tax I.D.; and any other information or supporting documentation that we may require, including any spousal or Joint Owner’s consents. With respect to Purchase Payments, Good Order also generally includes receipt by us of sufficient funds to effect the purchase. We may, in our sole discretion, determine whether any particular transaction request is in Good Order, and we reserve the right to change or waive any Good Order requirement at any time. If you have any questions, you should contact us or your financial representative before submitting the form or request.
Telephone and Computer Systems. Telephone and computer systems may not always be available. Any telephone or computer system, whether it is yours, your service provider's, your agent's, or ours, can experience outages or slowdowns for a variety of reasons. These outages or slowdowns may delay or prevent our processing of your request. Although we have taken precautions to help our systems handle heavy use, we cannot promise complete reliability under all circumstances. If you experience technical difficulties or problems, you should make your transaction request in writing to our Annuity Service Center.
Cybersecurity and Certain Business Continuity Risks. Our variable annuity contract business is largely conducted through digital communications and data storage networks and systems operated by us and our service providers or other business partners (e.g., the Investment Portfolios and the firms involved in the distribution and sale of our variable annuity contracts). For example, many routine operations, such as processing Owners’ requests and elections and day-to-day recordkeeping, are all executed through computer networks and systems.
We have established administrative and technical controls and a business continuity plan to protect our operations against cybersecurity breaches. Despite these protocols, a cybersecurity breach could have a material, negative impact on BLIC and the Separate Account, as well as individual Owners and their contracts. Our operations also could be negatively affected by a cybersecurity breach at a third party, such as a governmental or regulatory authority or another participant in the financial markets.
49

 


Table of Contents
Cybersecurity breaches can be intentional or unintentional events, and can occur through unauthorized access to computer systems, networks or devices; infection from computer viruses or other malicious software code; or attacks that shut down, disable, slow or otherwise disrupt operations, business processes or website access or functionality. Other disruptive events, including (but not limited to) natural disasters and public health crises, may adversely affect our ability to conduct business, in particular if our employees or the employees of our service providers are unable or unwilling to perform their responsibilities as a result of any such event. Cybersecurity breaches and other disruptions to our business operations can interfere with our processing of contract transactions, including the processing of transfer orders from our website or with the Investment Portfolios; impact our ability to calculate Accumulation Unit values; cause the release and possible destruction of confidential Owner or business information; or impede order processing or cause other operational issues.
Cybersecurity breaches may also impact the issuers of securities in which the Investment Portfolios invest, and it is possible the funds underlying your contract could lose value. There can be no assurance that we or our service providers or the Investment Portfolios will avoid losses affecting your contract due to cyber-attacks or information security breaches in the future.
Although we continually make efforts to identify and reduce our exposure to cybersecurity risk, there is no guarantee that we will be able to successfully manage and mitigate this risk at all times. Furthermore, we cannot control the cybersecurity plans and systems implemented by third parties, including service providers or issuers of securities in which the Investment Portfolios invest.
COVID-19. The outbreak of the novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. The pandemic has resulted in significant financial market volatility, a deterioration in general economic conditions, record-low interest rates, global business disruptions affecting companies across various industries, and wide-ranging changes in consumer behavior. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 public health crisis on the financial markets and overall economy are uncertain, as is the efficacy of government and central bank interventions. Although the Company has implemented risk management and contingency plans and taken preventative measures and other precautions so it can continue to provide products
and services to its customers, it is not currently possible to accurately estimate the full impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on the Company. The Company continues to closely monitor this evolving situation, including the impact on services provided by third-party vendors. However, there can be no assurance that any future impact from the COVID-19 pandemic will not be significant to the Company and/or with respect to the services the Company or its customers receive from third-party vendors.
Significant market volatility and negative investment returns in the financial markets resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic could have a negative impact on returns of the Investment Portfolios in which the Separate Account invests. Declines in or sustained low interest rates can cause a reduction in investment income for the Investment Portfolios. If these market conditions continue, and depending on your individual circumstances (e.g., your selected investment options and the timing of any transfers or withdrawals), you may experience (perhaps significant) negative returns under the contract. You should consult with your financial representative about how the COVID-19 pandemic and the recent market conditions may impact your future investment decisions related to the contract, such as making subsequent Purchase Payments, transfers, or withdrawals, based on your individual circumstances.
Confirming Transactions. We will send out written statements confirming that a transaction was recently completed. Unless you inform us of any errors within 60 days of receipt, we will consider these communications to be accurate and complete.
Ownership
Owner. You, as the Owner of the contract, have all the interest and rights under the contract.
These rights include the right to:
change the Beneficiary.
change the Annuitant before the Annuity Date (subject to our underwriting and administrative rules).
assign the contract (subject to limitation).
change the payment option.
exercise all other rights, benefits, options and privileges allowed by the contract or us.
50

 


Table of Contents
The Owner is as designated at the time the contract is issued, unless changed. Any change of Owner is subject to our underwriting rules in effect at the time of the request.
Joint Owner. The contract can be owned by Joint Owners, limited to two natural persons. Upon the death of either Owner, the surviving Owner will be the primary Beneficiary. Any other Beneficiary designation will be treated as a contingent Beneficiary unless otherwise indicated.
Beneficiary. The Beneficiary is the person(s) or entity you name to receive any death benefit. The Beneficiary is named at the time the contract is issued unless changed at a later date. Unless an irrevocable Beneficiary has been named, you can change the Beneficiary at any time before you die. If Joint Owners are named, unless you tell us otherwise, the surviving Joint Owner will be the primary Beneficiary. Any other Beneficiary designation will be treated as a contingent Beneficiary (unless you tell us otherwise).
Abandoned Property Requirements. Every state has unclaimed property laws which generally declare non-ERISA annuity contracts to be abandoned after a period of inactivity of three to five years from the contract’s maturity date (the latest day on which annuity payments may begin under the contract) or the date the death benefit is due and payable. For example, if the payment of a death benefit has been triggered, but, if after a thorough search, we are still unable to locate the Beneficiary of the death benefit, or the Beneficiary does not come forward to claim the death benefit in a timely manner, the death benefit will be paid to the abandoned property division or unclaimed property office of the state in which the Beneficiary or the Owner last resided, as shown on our books and records, or to our state of domicile. (Escheatment is the formal, legal name for this process.) However, the state is obligated to pay the death benefit (without interest) if your Beneficiary steps forward to claim it with the proper documentation. To prevent your contract's proceeds from being paid to the state's abandoned or unclaimed property office, it is important that you update your Beneficiary designations, including addresses, if and as they change. Please call (888) 243-1932 to make such changes.
Annuitant. The Annuitant is the natural person(s) on whose life we base Annuity Payments. You can change the Annuitant at any time prior to the Annuity Date, unless an Owner is not a natural person. Any reference to Annuitant includes any joint Annuitant under an Annuity Option. The
Owner and the Annuitant do not have to be the same person except as required under certain sections of the Internal Revenue Code.
Assignment. You can assign a Non-Qualified Contract at any time during your lifetime. We will not be bound by the assignment until the written notice of the assignment is recorded by us. We will not be liable for any payment or other action we take in accordance with the contract before we record the assignment. An assignment may be a taxable event.
If the contract is issued pursuant to a qualified plan, there may be limitations on your ability to assign the contract.
Legal Proceedings
In the ordinary course of business, BLIC, similar to other life insurance companies, is involved in lawsuits (including class action lawsuits), arbitrations and other legal proceedings. Also, from time to time, state and federal regulators or other officials conduct formal and informal examinations or undertake other actions dealing with various aspects of the financial services and insurance industries. In some legal proceedings involving insurers, substantial damages have been sought and/or material settlement payments have been made.
It is not possible to predict with certainty the ultimate outcome of any pending legal proceeding or regulatory action. However, BLIC does not believe any such action or proceeding will have a material adverse effect upon the Separate Account or upon the ability of Brighthouse Securities, LLC to perform its contract with the Separate Account or of BLIC to meet its obligations under the contracts.

Our financial statements and the financial statements of the Separate Account have been included in the SAI.

THE COMPANY
Brighthouse Life Insurance Company (“BLIC” or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation originally incorporated in Connecticut in 1863. Prior to March 6, 2017, BLIC was known as MetLife Insurance Company USA. BLIC is licensed to conduct business in all U.S. states (except New York), the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the British Virgin Islands and the Bahamas. BLIC is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of, and ultimately controlled by, Brighthouse Financial, Inc. (“BHF”), a publicly-traded company. Prior to August 4, 2017, the Company was an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife, Inc. On that date, MetLife, Inc. distributed approximately 80.8% of BHF’s common stock to holders of MetLife Inc.’s common stock, and BHF became a separate, publicly-traded company. BHF, through its subsidiaries and affiliates, is one of the largest providers of annuity and life insurance products in the United States. BLIC’s executive offices are located at 11225 North Community House Road, Charlotte, NC 28277.
Brighthouse Life Insurance Company History
MetLife Insurance Company USA: From the close of business on November 14, 2014 to March 6, 2017, BLIC was called MetLife Insurance Company USA (MetLife USA). MetLife USA was established following the close of business on November 14, 2014, when MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut, MetLife Investors Insurance Company and Exeter Reassurance Company, Ltd. were merged into MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut, and MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut was then renamed MetLife Insurance Company USA. Simultaneously, MetLife Insurance Company USA changed its domicile from Connecticut to the state of Delaware. As a result of this merger, MetLife USA assumed legal ownership of all of the assets of these predecessor companies, including assets held in the separate accounts, and became responsible for administering the contracts and paying any benefits due under all contracts issued by each of its corporate predecessors. These predecessor companies that issued contracts on and prior to November 14, 2014 were the following:
MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut: MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (MICC), originally chartered in Connecticut in 1863, was known as
  Travelers Insurance Company prior to May 1, 2006. MICC changed its name to MetLife Insurance Company USA and its state of domicile to Delaware after November 14, 2014 as described under “MetLife Insurance Company USA” above.
MetLife Life and Annuity Company of Connecticut: MetLife Life and Annuity Company of Connecticut (MLAC), originally chartered in Connecticut in 1973, was known as Travelers Life and Annuity Company prior to May 1, 2006. On or about December 7, 2007, MLAC merged with and into MICC.
MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company: MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (MLI USA), originally chartered in Delaware in 1960, was known as Security First Life Insurance Company prior to January 8, 2001. MLI USA was merged into BLIC after the close of business on November 14, 2014, as described under “MetLife Insurance Company USA” above.
MetLife Investors Insurance Company: MetLife Investors Insurance Company (MLI), originally chartered in Missouri in 1981, was known as Cova Financial Services Life Insurance Company prior to February 12, 2001. MLI was merged into BLIC after the close of business on November 14, 2014, as described under “MetLife Insurance Company USA” above.
MetLife Investors Insurance Company of California: MetLife Investors Insurance Company of California (MLI-CA), originally chartered in California in 1972, was known as Cova Financial Life Insurance Company prior to February 12, 2001. On November 9, 2006 MLI-CA merged with and into MLI.
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
We have established a Separate Account, Brighthouse Separate Account A (the “Separate Account”), to hold the assets that underlie the contracts. The Board of Directors of our predecessor, MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (MLI USA), adopted a resolution to establish the Separate Account under Delaware insurance law on May 29, 1980. We have registered the Separate Account with the SEC as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Separate Account is divided into subaccounts.

There are other broker dealers who receive compensation for servicing our contracts, and the Account Value of the contracts or the amount of added Purchase Payments received may be included in determining their additional compensation, if any.
Reduction or Elimination of the Withdrawal Charge
The amount of the withdrawal charge on the contracts may be reduced or eliminated when sales of the contracts are made to individuals or to a group of individuals in a manner that results in savings of sales expenses. The entitlement to reduction of the withdrawal charge will be determined by the Company after examination of all the relevant factors such as:
1. The size and type of group to which sales are to be made will be considered. Generally, the sales expenses for a larger group are less than for a smaller group because of the ability to implement large numbers of contracts with fewer sales contacts.
2. The total amount of Purchase Payments to be received will be considered. Per contract sales expenses are likely to be less on larger Purchase Payments than on smaller ones.
3. Any prior or existing relationship with the Company will be considered. Per contract sales expenses are likely to be less when there is a prior existing relationship because of the likelihood of implementing the contract with fewer sales contacts.
4. There may be other circumstances, of which the Company is not presently aware, which could result in reduced sales expenses.
If, after consideration of the foregoing factors, the Company determines that there will be a reduction in sales expenses, the Company may provide for a reduction or elimination of the withdrawal charge.
The withdrawal charge may be eliminated when the contracts are issued to an officer, director or employee of the Company or any of its affiliates. In no event will any
reduction or elimination of the withdrawal charge be permitted where the reduction or elimination will be unfairly discriminatory to any person. In lieu of a withdrawal charge waiver, we may provide an Account Value credit.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
Historical Unit Values
The Company may also show historical Accumulation Unit values in certain advertisements containing illustrations. These illustrations will be based on actual Accumulation Unit values.
In addition, the Company may distribute sales literature which compares the percentage change in Accumulation Unit values for any of the against established market indices such as the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index, the Dow Jones Industrial Average or other management investment companies which have investment objectives similar to the Investment Portfolio being compared. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index is an unmanaged, unweighted average of 500 stocks, the majority of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is an unmanaged, weighted average of thirty blue chip industrial corporations listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Both the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average assume quarterly reinvestment of dividends.
Reporting Agencies
The Company may also distribute sales literature which compares the performance of the Accumulation Unit values of the contracts with the unit values of variable annuities issued by other insurance companies. Such information will be derived from the Lipper Variable Insurance Products Performance Analysis Service, the VARDS Report or from Morningstar.
The Lipper Variable Insurance Products Performance Analysis Service is published by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc., a publisher of statistical data which currently tracks the performance of thousands of investment companies. The rankings compiled by Lipper may or may not reflect the deduction of asset-based insurance charges. The Company’s sales literature utilizing these rankings will indicate whether or not such charges have been deducted. Where the charges have not been deducted, the sales

literature will indicate that if the charges had been deducted, the ranking might have been lower.
The VARDS Report is a monthly variable annuity industry analysis compiled by Variable Annuity Research & Data Service. The VARDS rankings may or may not reflect the deduction of asset-based insurance charges. In addition, VARDS prepares risk adjusted rankings, which consider the effects of market risk on total return performance. This type of ranking may address the question as to which funds provide the highest total return with the least amount of risk. Other ranking services may be used as sources of performance comparison, such as CDA/Weisenberger.
Morningstar rates a variable annuity against its peers with similar investment objectives. Morningstar does not rate any variable annuity that has less than three years of performance data.
ANNUITY PROVISIONS
Variable Annuity
A variable annuity is an annuity with payments which: (1) are not predetermined as to dollar amount; and (2) will vary in amount in proportion to the amount that the net investment factor exceeds the assumed investment return selected.
The Adjusted Contract Value (Contract Value, less any applicable premium taxes and account fee) will be applied to the applicable Annuity Table to determine the first Annuity Payment. The Adjusted Contract Value is determined on the annuity calculation date, which is a Business Day no more than five (5) Business Days before the Annuity Date. The dollar amount of the first variable Annuity Payment is determined as follows: The first variable Annuity Payment will be based upon the Annuity Option elected, the Annuitant’s age, the Annuitant's sex (where permitted by law), and the appropriate variable Annuity Option table. Your annuity rates will not be less than those guaranteed in your contract at the time of purchase for the assumed investment return and Annuity Option elected. If, as of the annuity calculation date, the then current variable Annuity Option rates applicable to this class of contracts provide a first Annuity Payment greater than that which is guaranteed under the same Annuity Option under this contract, the greater payment will be made.
The dollar amount of variable Annuity Payments after the first payment is determined as follows:
1. the dollar amount of the first variable Annuity Payment is divided by the value of an Annuity Unit for each applicable Investment Portfolio as of the annuity calculation date. This establishes the number of Annuity Units for each monthly payment. The number of Annuity Units for each applicable Investment Portfolio remains fixed during the annuity period, unless you transfer values from the Investment Portfolio to another Investment Portfolio;
2. the fixed number of Annuity Units per payment in each Investment Portfolio is multiplied by the Annuity Unit value for that Investment Portfolio for the Business Day for which the Annuity Payment is being calculated. This result is the dollar amount of the payment for each applicable Investment Portfolio, less any account fee. The account fee will be deducted pro rata out of each Annuity Payment.
The total dollar amount of each variable Annuity Payment is the sum of all Investment Portfolio variable Annuity Payments.
Annuity Unit — The initial Annuity Unit value for each Investment Portfolio of the Separate Account was set by us.
The subsequent Annuity Unit value for each Investment Portfolio is determined by multiplying the Annuity Unit value for the immediately preceding Business Day by the net investment factor for the Investment Portfolio for the current Business Day and multiplying the result by a factor for each day since the last Business Day which represents the daily equivalent of the AIR you elected.
(1) the dollar amount of the first Annuity Payment is divided by the value of an Annuity Unit as of the Annuity Date. This establishes the number of Annuity Units for each monthly payment. The number of Annuity Units remains fixed during the Annuity Payment period.
(2) the fixed number of Annuity Units is multiplied by the Annuity Unit value for the last valuation period of the month preceding the month for which the payment is due. This result is the dollar amount of the payment.
Net Investment Factor — The net investment factor for each Investment Portfolio is determined by dividing A by B and multiplying by (1-C) where:

Table of Contents
A is (i) the net asset value per share of the portfolio at the end of the current Business Day; plus
(ii) any dividend or capital gains per share declared on behalf of such portfolio that has an ex-dividend date as of the current Business Day.
B is the net asset value per share of the portfolio for the immediately preceding Business Day.
C is (i) the Separate Account product charges and for each day since the last Business Day. The daily charge is equal to the annual Separate Account product charges divided by 365; plus
(ii) a charge factor, if any, for any taxes or any tax reserve we have established as a result of the operation of the Separate Account.
Transfers During the Annuity Phase:
You may not make a transfer from the fixed Annuity Option to the variable Annuity Option;
Transfers among the subaccounts will be made by converting the number of Annuity Units being transferred to the number of Annuity Units of the subaccount to which the transfer is made, so that the next Annuity Payment if it were made at that time would be the same amount that it would have been without the transfer. Thereafter, Annuity Payments will reflect changes in the value of the new Annuity Units; and
You may make a transfer from the variable Annuity Option to the fixed Annuity Option. The amount transferred from a subaccount of the Separate Account will be equal to the product of “(a)” multiplied by “(b)” multiplied by “(c)”, where (a) is the number of Annuity Units representing your interest in the subaccount per Annuity Payment; (b) is the Annuity Unit value for the subaccount; and (c) is the present value of $1.00 per payment period for the remaining annuity benefit period based on the attained age of the Annuitant at the time of transfer, calculated using the same actuarial basis as the variable annuity rates applied on the Annuity Date for the Annuity Option elected. Amounts transferred to the fixed Annuity Option will be applied under the Annuity Option elected at the attained age of the Annuitant at the time of the transfer using the fixed Annuity Option table. If at the time of transfer, the then current fixed Annuity Option rates applicable to this
  class of contracts provide a greater payment, the greater payment will be made. All amounts and Annuity Unit values will be determined as of the end of the Business Day on which the Company receives a notice.
Fixed Annuity
A fixed annuity is a series of payments made during the Annuity Phase which are guaranteed as to dollar amount by the Company and do not vary with the investment experience of the Separate Account. The Adjusted Contract Value is determined on the annuity calculation date, which is a Business Day no more than five (5) Business Days before the Annuity Date. This value will be used to determine a fixed Annuity Payment. The monthly Annuity Payment will be based upon the Annuity Option elected, the Annuitant's age, the Annuitant's sex (where permitted by law), and the appropriate Annuity Option table. Your annuity rates will not be less than those guaranteed in your contract at the time of purchase. If, as of the annuity calculation date, the then current Annuity Option rates applicable to this class of contracts provide an Annuity Payment greater than that which is guaranteed under the same Annuity Option under this contract, the greater payment will be made.
Mortality and Expense Guarantee
The Company guarantees that the dollar amount of each Annuity Payment after the first Annuity Payment will not be affected by variations in mortality or expense experience.
LEGAL OR REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSACTIONS
If mandated under applicable law, the Company may be required to reject a Purchase Payment. The Company may also be required to block a contract Owner’s account and thereby refuse to pay any request for transfers, withdrawals, surrenders, death benefits or continue making Annuity Payments until instructions are received from the appropriate regulator.
ADDITIONAL FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS
Non-Qualified Contracts
Diversification. In order for your Non-Qualified Contract to be considered an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes, we must comply with certain
8

 


Table of Contents
diversification standards with respect to the investments underlying the contract. We believe that we satisfy and will continue to satisfy these diversification standards. Failure to meet these standards would result in immediate taxation to contract Owners of gains under their contracts. Inadvertent failure to meet these standards may be correctable.
Changes to Tax Rules and Interpretations
Changes to applicable tax rules and interpretations can adversely affect the tax treatment of your contract. These changes may take effect retroactively.
We reserve the right to amend your contract where necessary to maintain its status as a variable annuity contract under federal tax law and to protect you and other contract Owners in the Investment Portfolios from adverse tax consequences.
Tax on Net Investment Income
The 3.8% tax on net investment income described in the Prospectus when added to the top tax bracket for ordinary income of 37.0% will result in a top tax rate of 40.8% on investment income.
Qualified Contracts
Annuity contracts purchased through tax qualified plans are subject to limitations imposed by the Code and regulations as a condition of tax qualification. There are various types of tax qualified plans which have certain beneficial tax consequences for contract Owners and plan participants.
Types of Qualified Plans
The following list includes individual account-type plans which may hold an annuity contract as described in the Prospectus. Except for Traditional IRAs, they are established by an employer for participation of its employees.
IRA
A traditional IRA is established by an individual under Section 408(a) or 408(b) of the Code. See also Roth IRAs below.
SIMPLE IRA
Established by a for-profit employer with 100 or fewer employees that does not maintain another retirement plan. A SIMPLE IRA, established under section 408(p) of the Code, is based on IRA accounts for each participant.
SEP
Established by a for-profit employer under Section 408(k) of the Code, based on IRA accounts for each participant. Generally, only employers make contributions. If the SEP IRA permits non-SEP contributions, an employee can make regular IRA contributions (including IRA catch up contributions) to the SEP IRA, up to the maximum annual limit.
401(k), 401(a)
Established by for-profit employers, Section 501(c)(3) tax exempt and non-tax exempt entities, Indian Tribes.
403(b) or Tax Sheltered Annuity (“TSA”)
Established by Section 501(c)(3) tax exempt entities, public schools (K-12), public colleges, universities, churches, synagogues and mosques.
457(b) - Governmental Sponsor
Established by state and local governments, public schools (K-12), public colleges and universities.
457(b) - Non-Governmental Sponsor
Established by a tax-exempt entity. Under a non-governmental plan, which must be a tax-exempt entity under Section 501(c) of the Code, all investments of the plan are owned by and are subject to the claims of the general creditors of the sponsoring employer. In general, all amounts received under a non-governmental Section 457(b) plan are taxable and are subject to federal income tax withholding as wages.
Additional Information Regarding 457(b) Plans
A 457(b) plan may provide a one-time election to make special one-time “catch-up” contributions in one or more of the participant’s last three taxable years ending before the participant’s normal retirement age under the plan. Participants in governmental 457(b) plans may make two types of catch up contributions, the age 50 or older catch-up and the special one-time catch-up contribution. However, both catch up contribution types cannot be made in the same taxable year. In general, contribution limits with respect to elective deferral and to age 50 plus catch-up contributions are not aggregated with contributions under the other types of qualified plans for the purposes of determining the limitations applicable to participants.
403(a) Annuity Plans
Similar in structure to 401(a) plans except that, instead of trusts, annuity contracts are the funding vehicle.

Table of Contents
Roth Accounts
Individual or employee plan contributions made to certain plans on an after-tax basis. An IRA may be established as a Roth IRA under Section 408A, and 401(k), 403(b) and 457(b) plans may provide for Roth accounts. Contributions to a Roth IRA are limited based on the level of your modified adjusted gross income.
Comparison of Plan Limits for Individual Contributions:
(1) IRA: elective contribution to all traditional and Roth IRAs: $6,000; catch-up contribution: $1,000
(2) SIMPLE: elective contribution: $13,500; catch-up contribution: $3,000
(3) 401(k): elective contribution: $19,500; catch-up contribution: $6,500
(4) SEP/401(a): (employer contributions only)
(5) 403(b) (TSA): elective contribution: $19,500; catch-up contribution: $6,500
(6) 457(b) : elective contribution: $19,500; catch-up contribution: $6,500
Dollar limits are for 2021 and subject to cost-of-living adjustments in future years. Employer-sponsored individual account plans (other than 457(b) plans) may provide for additional employer contributions such that total annual plan contributions do not exceed the lesser of $58,000 and 100% of an employee’s compensation for 2021.
ERISA
If your plan is subject to ERISA and you are married, the income payments, withdrawal provisions, and methods of payment of the death benefit under your contract may be subject to your spouse’s rights as described below.
Generally, the spouse must give qualified consent whenever you:
(a) choose income payments other than on a qualified joint and survivor annuity basis (“QJSA”) (one under which we make payments to you during your lifetime and then make payments reduced by no more than 50% to your spouse for his or her remaining life, if any): or choose to waive the qualified pre-retirement survivor annuity benefit (“QPSA”) (the benefit payable to the
  surviving spouse of a participant who dies with a vested interest in an accrued retirement benefit under the plan before payment of the benefit has begun);
(b) make certain withdrawals under plans for which a qualified consent is required;
(c) name someone other than the spouse as your Beneficiary; or
(d) use your accrued benefit as security for a loan, if available, exceeding $5,000.
Generally, there is no limit to the number of your elections as long as a qualified consent is given each time. The consent to waive the QJSA must meet certain requirements, including that it be in writing, that it acknowledge the identity of the designated Beneficiary and the form of benefit be selected, dated, signed by your spouse, witnessed by a notary public or plan representative, and that it be in a form satisfactory to us. The waiver of the QJSA generally must be executed during the 180 day period (90 days for certain loans) ending on the date on which income payments are to commence, or the withdrawal or the loan is to be made, as the case may be. If you die before benefits commence, your surviving spouse will be your Beneficiary unless he or she has given a qualified consent otherwise.
The qualified consent to waive the QPSA benefit and the Beneficiary designation must be made in writing that acknowledges the designated Beneficiary, dated, signed by your spouse, witnessed by a notary public or plan representative and in a form satisfactory to us. Generally, there is no limit to the number of Beneficiary designations as long as a qualified consent accompanies each designation. The waiver of, and the qualified consent for, the QPSA benefit generally may not be given until the plan year in which you attain age 35. The waiver period for the QPSA ends on the date of your death.
If the present value of your benefit is worth $5,000 or less, your plan generally may provide for distribution of your entire interest in a lump sum without spousal consent.

Table of Contents
Federal Estate Taxes
While no attempt is being made to discuss the federal estate tax implications of the contract, you should bear in mind that the value of an annuity contract owned by a decedent and payable to a Beneficiary by virtue of surviving the decedent is included in the decedent’s gross estate. Depending on the terms of the annuity contract, the value of the annuity included in the gross estate may be the value of the lump sum payment payable to the designated Beneficiary or the actuarial value of the payments to be received by the Beneficiary. Consult an estate planning adviser for more information.
Generation-Skipping Transfer Tax
Under certain circumstances, the Code may impose a “generation-skipping transfer tax” when all or part of an annuity contract is transferred to, or a death benefit is paid to, an individual two or more generations younger than the contract Owner. Regulations issued under the Code may require us to deduct the tax from your contract, or from any applicable payment, and pay it directly to the IRS.
Annuity Purchase Payments By Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Entities
The discussion above provides general information regarding U.S. federal income tax consequences to annuity purchasers that are U.S. citizens or residents. Purchasers that are not U.S. citizens or residents will generally be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax on taxable distributions from annuity contracts at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In addition, 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. Prospective purchasers are advised to consult with a qualified tax adviser regarding U.S., state and foreign taxation with respect to an annuity contract purchase.

ITEM 28. INDEMNIFICATION

 


Pursuant to applicable provisions of Brighthouse Life Insurance Company’s by-laws or internal corporate policies adopted by Brighthouse Life Insurance Company or Brighthouse Financial, Inc., its ultimate parent, the directors, officers and other controlling persons of Brighthouse Life Insurance Company and of Brighthouse Life Insurance Company’s affiliate and the underwriter, Brighthouse Securities, LLC, who are made or threatened to be made a party to an action or proceeding, may be eligible to obtain indemnification against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred as a result of such action or proceeding. Under the principal underwriting agreement between Brighthouse Life Insurance Company and Brighthouse Securities, LLC the parties have agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities and expenses from legal proceedings arising out of Brighthouse Securities LLC’s distribution of the Contracts.
Brighthouse Financial, Inc. also maintains directors and officers and professional liability insurance policies under which the Registrant, the Depositor and the Underwriter, as well as certain other Brighthouse subsidiaries, are covered. Brighthouse Financial, Inc. also has secured a financial institutions bond.

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
