Variable annuities are complex investment products and involve risks, including the potential loss of principal. The contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. Withdrawals under the contract could result in taxes and tax penalties.
Under state insurance laws, Contract Owners have the right, during a limited period of time, to examine their contract and decide if they want to keep it or cancel it. This right is referred to as a "free look" right. The length of this time period depends on state law and may vary depending on whether the purchase is a replacement of another annuity contract. For ease of administration, Nationwide will honor any free look cancellation request that is in good order and received at the Service Center or postmarked within 30 days after the contract issue date (see Right to Examine and Cancel and Contacting the Service Center in the statutory prospectus).
If the Contract Owner elects to cancel the contract pursuant to the free look provision, where required by law, Nationwide will return the greater of the Contract Value or the amount of purchase payment(s) applied during the free look period, less any withdrawals from the contract, and applicable federal and state income tax withholding. Otherwise, Nationwide will return the Contract Value, less any withdrawals from the contract, and applicable federal and state income tax withholding (see Right to Examine and Cancel in the statutory prospectus).
All guarantees under the contract are subject to Nationwide’s creditworthiness and claims-paying ability.
You should review the statutory prospectus, or consult with your financial professional, for additional information about the specific cancellation terms that apply.
Additional information about certain investment products, including variable annuities, has been prepared by the SEC’s staff and is available at Investor.gov.

Overview of the Contract
Purpose of the Contract
The contract is intended to be a long-term investment vehicle to assist investors in saving for and living in retirement. Nationwide has designed the contract to offer features, pricing, and investment options that encourage long-term ownership. The contract can help supplement retirement income through the annuitization feature, which provides a stream of periodic income payments. During the years leading up to those income payments, the Contract Owner manages his/her assets in the contract according to their specific goals and risk preferences by directing the allocation and reallocation among a variety of investment options. Contract growth is tax-deferred, meaning that gains in the contract are not taxable until withdrawn from the contract. Finally, in the event that the Annuitant dies before beginning income payments, the contract offers a death benefit.
Prospective purchasers should consult with a financial professional to determine whether this contract is appropriate for them, taking into consideration their particular needs, including investment objectives, risk tolerance, investment time horizon, marital status, tax situation, and other personal characteristics. Generally speaking, this contract is intended to provide benefits to a single individual and his/her beneficiaries. The contract is not intended to be used by institutional investors, in connection with other Nationwide contracts that have the same Annuitant, or in connection with other Nationwide contracts that have different Annuitants but the same Contract Owner. It is not intended to be sold to a terminally ill Contract Owner or Annuitant.
Phases of the Contract
The contract exists in two separate phases: accumulation (savings) and annuitization (income). During the accumulation phase, the contract offers a variety of investment options to which the Contract Owner can allocate and reallocate his/her Contract Value. The investment options available under the contract consist of Sub-Accounts that invest in underlying mutual funds, which offer a variable rate of return. Additional information about the underlying mutual funds is available in Appendix: Investment Options Available Under the Contract.
During the annuitization phase, Nationwide makes periodic income payments to the Annuitant. At the time of annuitization, the Contract Owner elects the duration of the annuity payments – either for a fixed period of time or for the duration of the Annuitant’s (and possibly the Annuitant’s spouse’s) life. The Contract Owner also elects whether the annuity payments will be fixed or variable. If variable annuity payments are elected, the Annuitant controls the allocation/reallocation of annuitized assets among the available Sub-Accounts. After annuitization begins, the only value associated with the contract is the stream of annuity payments; unless otherwise specified in the annuity option, amounts cannot be withdrawn from the contract over and above the annuity payments. Additionally, once annuitization has begun, there is no death benefit, which means that upon the death of the Annuitant (and the Annuitant’s spouse if a joint annuity option was elected), all payments stop and the contract terminates, unless the particular annuitization option provides otherwise. Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawals will also terminate upon annuitization.
Contract Features
Investment Options. Contract Owners can allocate Contract Value to Sub-Accounts that invest in underlying mutual funds. Contract Owners can reallocate those assets at their discretion, subject to certain restrictions.
Deposits to the Contract. The contact is a single purchase payment annuity. Subsequent purchase payments are not permitted.
Withdrawals from the Contract. Contract Owners can withdraw some or all of their Contract Value at any time prior to annuitization, subject to certain restrictions. After annuitization, withdrawals other than annuity payments are not permitted.
Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawals. The contract offers Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawals, which provide a guaranteed lifetime income stream for the Contract Owner.
Death Benefit. During the accumulation phase, the contract contains a standard death benefit (equal to the Contract Value) at no additional charge.
Spousal Continuation Option. The contract offers a Spousal Continuation Option, which allows a surviving spouse to continue to receive, for the duration of his/her lifetime, the benefit associated with the Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawals.
5
Annuity Payments. On the Annuitization Date, Nationwide will make annuity payments based on the annuity payment option chosen prior to annuitization.
Tax Deferral. Generally, Contract Owners will not be taxed on any earnings on the assets in the contract until such earnings are distributed from the contract. How each contract’s distributions are taxed depends on the type of contract issued. Note that if this contract is issued in connection with a plan that qualifies for special income tax treatment under the Code, the contract does not provide additional tax deferral benefits (see Appendix C: Contract Types and Tax Information in the statutory prospectus).
Cancellation of the Contract. Under state insurance laws, Contract Owners have the right, during a limited period of time, to examine their contract and decide if they want to keep it or cancel it. Nationwide will honor any free look cancellation request that is in good order and received at the Service Center or postmarked within 30 days after the contract issue date (see Right to Examine and Cancel and Contacting the Service Center in the statutory prospectus).
Contract Owner Services. The contract offers a service at no additional charge to assist Contract Owners in managing their contract, including:

Yes. Contract Owners of variable annuities can lose money by investing in the contract,
including loss of principal (see Principal Risks in the statutory prospectus).
Is this a Short-Term
Investment?
No. The contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who
needs ready access to cash. Nationwide has designed the contract to offer features,
pricing, and investment options that encourage long-term ownership (see Principal Risks in
the statutory prospectus).
 
The benefit of tax deferral also means that the contract is more beneficial to investors with
a long time horizon (see Principal Risks in the statutory prospectus).
What Are the Risks
Associated with the
Investment Options?
● Investment in this contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance.
Investment experience can vary depending on the investment options selected by the
Contract Owner.
● Each investment option has its own unique risks.
● Review the prospectuses and disclosures for the investment options before making an
investment decision.
See Principal Risks in the statutory prospectus.
What Are the Risks
Related to the Insurance
Company?
Investment in the contract is subject to the risks associated with Nationwide, including that
any obligations, guarantees, or benefits are subject to the claims-paying ability of
Nationwide. More information about Nationwide, including its financial strength ratings, is
available by contacting Nationwide at the address and/or toll-free phone number indicated
in Contacting the Service Center (see Principal Risks in the statutory prospectus).

RESTRICTIONS
Are There Restrictions
on the Investment
Options?
Yes.
● Nationwide reserves the right to add, remove, and substitute investment options
available under the contract (see The Sub-Accounts and Underlying Mutual Funds in the
statutory prospectus).
● Transfers between Sub-Accounts are subject to policies designed to deter short-term
and excessively frequent transfers. Nationwide may restrict the form in which transfer
requests will be accepted (see Transfer Restrictions in the statutory prospectus).
● The availability of investment options may vary depending on the broker-dealer through
which the contract is sold (see Appendix E: Financial Intermediary Variations in the
statutory prospectus).

Benefits?
Yes.
● The Spousal Continuation Option may not be available on all contract types and limits

See Appendix C: Contract Types and Tax Information in the statutory prospectus.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
How Are Investment
Professionals
Compensated?
Some financial professionals receive compensation for selling the contract. Compensation
can take the form of commissions and other indirect compensation in that Nationwide may
share the revenue it earns on this contract with the financial professional’s firm. This
conflict of interest may influence a financial professional, as these financial professionals
may have a financial incentive to offer or recommend this contract over another investment
(see Distribution, Promotional, and Sales Expenses in the statutory prospectus).
Should I Exchange My
Contract?
Some financial professionals may have a financial incentive to offer an investor a new
contract in place of the one he/she already owns. An investor should only exchange his/her
contract if he/she determines, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both
contracts, and any fees or penalties to terminate the existing contract, that it is preferable
for him/her to purchase the new contract, rather than to continue to own the existing one
(see Replacements and Distribution, Promotional, and Sales Expenses in the statutory
prospectus).
Benefits Under the Contract
The following tables summarize information about the benefits under the contract. The Standard Benefits table indicates the benefits that are available under the contract and for which there is no additional charge. The Optional Benefits table indicates the benefits that are available under the contract that are optional – they must be affirmatively elected by the applicant and may have an additional charge. The availability of contract benefits may vary depending on the broker-dealer through which the contract is sold (see Appendix E: Financial Intermediary Variations in the statutory prospectus).

Buying the Contract
Minimum Initial and Subsequent Purchase Payments
All purchase payments must be paid in the currency of the United States of America. There is no minimum initial purchase payment. However, a minimum Original Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Base of $5,000 is required to purchase a contract. Subsequent purchase payments are not permitted under this contract.
Nationwide reserves the right to refuse any purchase payment that would result in the cumulative total for all contracts issued by Nationwide or its affiliates or subsidiaries on the life of any one Annuitant or owned by any one Contract Owner to exceed $1,000,000. Its decision as to whether or not to accept a purchase payment in excess of that amount will be based on one or more factors, including, but not limited to: age, spouse age (if applicable), Annuitant age, state of issue, total purchase payments, optional benefits elected, current market conditions, and current hedging costs. All such decisions will be based on internally established actuarial guidelines and will be applied in a non-discriminatory manner. In the event that Nationwide does not accept a purchase payment under these guidelines, the
9
purchase payment will be immediately returned in its entirety in the same manner as it was received. If Nationwide accepts the purchase payment, it will be applied to the contract immediately and will receive the next calculated Accumulation Unit value. Any references in this prospectus to purchase payment amounts in excess of $1,000,000 are assumed to have been approved by Nationwide.
Dollar Limit Restrictions
Certain features of the contract have additional purchase payment and/or Contract Value limitations associated with them:
Annuitization. Annuity payment options will be limited if the Contract Owner submits total purchase payments in excess of $2,000,000. Furthermore, if the amount to be annuitized is greater than $5,000,000, Nationwide may limit both the amount that can be annuitized on a single life and the annuity payment options (see Annuity Payment Options in the statutory prospectus).
Application of Purchase Payments
Initial Purchase Payments
Initial purchase payments will be priced at the Accumulation Unit value next determined no later than two business days after receipt of an order to purchase if the application and all necessary information are complete and are received at the Service Center before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, which generally occurs at 4:00 p.m. EST. If the order is received after the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the initial purchase payment will be priced within two business days after the next Valuation Date.
If an incomplete application is not completed within five business days after receipt at the Service Center, the prospective purchaser will be informed of the reason for the delay. The purchase payment will be returned unless the prospective purchaser specifically consents to allow Nationwide to hold the purchase payment until the application is completed.
Subsequent Purchase Payments
Subsequent purchase payments are not permitted under this contract.
Making Withdrawals: Accessing the Money in Your Contract
Surrender/Withdrawal Prior to Annuitization
Prior to annuitization and before the Annuitant's death, Contract Owners may generally withdraw some or all of their Contract Value. Withdrawals from the contract may be subject to federal income tax and/or a tax penalty (see Appendix C: Contract Types and Tax Information in the statutory prospectus). Withdrawal requests may be submitted in writing or by telephone to the Service Center and Nationwide may require additional information. Requests submitted by telephone may be subject to dollar amount limitations and may be subject to payment and other restrictions to prevent fraud. Nationwide reserves the right to require written requests to be submitted on current Nationwide forms for withdrawals. Nationwide reserves the right to remove the ability to submit requests by telephone upon written notice. Contact the Service Center for current limitations and restrictions. When taking a full surrender, Nationwide may require that the contract accompany the request. Nationwide may require a signature guarantee.
Surrender and withdrawal requests will receive the Accumulation Unit value next determined at the end of the current Valuation Period if the request and all necessary information is received at the Service Center before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally, 4:00 pm EST). If the request and all necessary information is received after the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the request will receive the Accumulation Unit value determined at the end of the next Valuation Day.
Nationwide will pay any amounts withdrawn from the Sub-Accounts within seven days after the request is received in good order at the Service Center (see Determining the Contract Value in the statutory prospectus). However, Nationwide may suspend or postpone payment when it is unable to price a purchase payment or transfer, or as permitted or required by federal securities laws and rules and regulations of the SEC.
Surrender/Withdrawal After Annuitization
After the Annuitization Date, withdrawals other than regularly scheduled annuity payments are not permitted.
10
Additional Information About Fees
The following tables describe the fees, expenses, and adjustments that a Contract Owner will pay when buying, owning, and surrendering or making withdrawals from an investment option or from the contract. Please refer to the contract specifications page for information about the specific fees the Contract Owner will pay each year.
The first table describes the fees and expenses a Contract Owner will pay each year during the time that the Contract Owner owns the contract (not including underlying mutual fund fees and expenses). State premium taxes may also be deducted.

Throughout the statutory prospectus, the Administrative Expense will be referred to as the Contract Maintenance Charge. On each contract’s Contract Anniversary, Nationwide deducts the Contract Maintenance Fee if the Contract Value is less than $50,000 on such Contract Anniversary. This charge is permanently waived on a going-forward basis for any contracts valued at $50,000 or more on any Contract Anniversary.
2
Throughout the statutory prospectus, the Base Contract Expenses will be referred to as Mortality and Expense Risk Fee, Administrative Fee, and Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Fee, as appropriate. The Mortality and Expense Risk Fee and Administrative Fee are assessed as an annualized percentage of the Daily Net Assets, while the Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Fee is assessed annually as a percentage of the Current Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Base. Currently, the charge associated with the Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Fee is equal to 1.00% of the Current Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Base. The maximum Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Fee is 1.20% of the Current Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Base. For information about how the Current Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Base is calculated, see Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawals and Spousal Continuation Option in the statutory prospectus.
The next item shows the minimum and maximum total operating expenses charged by the underlying mutual funds that the Contract Owner may pay periodically during the life of the contract. Expenses shown may change over time and may be higher or lower in the future.

a $100,000 investment in the contract for the time periods indicated;
•
a 5% return each year;
•
the maximum and the minimum annual underlying mutual fund expenses;
•
the total Variable Account fees associated with the contract (1.90%);1 and
