BR%

On each Contract Anniversary during a Bonus Period, we will calculate a Bonus Amount that may be added to the Withdrawal Benefit Base. The Bonus Amount will be equal to the current Bonus Base multiplied by the Bonus Rate. Currently, the Bonus Rate for Income Boost GLWB is 6.00% and the Bonus Rate for Income Control GLWB is 7.00%.

We will calculate two potential increases to the Withdrawal Benefit Base, one under the Step-Up Feature and the other under the Bonus Feature, and then increase the Withdrawal Benefit Base by the higher of the two.

BONUS PERIOD

We currently offer a ten-year Bonus Period.
