NOTE REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF THE COMPANY’S AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial guarantees we provide under your Contract are supported by the Company’s general account and are subject to the Company’s financial strength and claims-paying ability. Audited financial statements for the Company for the year-ended December 31, 2025 are not yet available, pending completion of the audit by the Company’s independent certified public accountant. The Company’s audited financial statements are delayed due to an ongoing review of the Company’s affiliate and related-party transactions. As of the date of this supplement, it is uncertain when the Company’s 2025 audited financial statements will become available.
The variable investment options offered under the Contract are supported by the Variable Account, not the Company’s general account. Financial statements of the Variable Account for the year-ended December 31, 2025 are available and may be obtained as instructed above.
During the delay in finalizing the Company’s 2025 audited financial statements, you may continue to make transactions under the terms of your Contract, including:
●
Making additional purchase payments into your Contract (if otherwise permitted);
●
Transferring or reallocating your Contract Value among investment options; and
●
Any other transactions permitted under your Contract.
Notice will be provided once the Company’s 2025 audited financial statements are available. Please contact us at (800) 477-6545 with any questions regarding the Company’s financial statements or your Contract.
The Contract is a complex investment and involves risks, including 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. If you take a withdrawal or surrender, you may be subject to a withdrawal charge and income taxes, including a 10% additional federal tax if you are younger than age 59 1∕2. Any obligations (including under any Fixed Account investment options) or guarantees under the Contract are subject to the Company’s financial strength and claims-paying ability.
Additional information about certain investment products, including variable annuities, has been prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s staff and is available at www.Investor.gov.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

How is my
Investment
Professional
Compensated?
Your investment professional may receive compensation for selling the
Contract to you, including commissions, other cash compensation, and
non-cash compensation. We may share the revenue we earn on this Contract
with your investment professional’s firm. As a result of these compensation
arrangements, your investment professional may have a financial incentive
to offer or recommend this Contract to you over another investment for
which the investment professional is not compensated or compensated less.
Distribution of
the Contract
Should I
Exchange my
Contract?
Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a
new contract in place of the one you already own. You should only exchange
a contract you already own if you determine, after comparing the features,
fees, and risks of both contracts, and any fees or penalties to terminate the
existing contract, that it is better for you to purchase the new contract rather
than continue to own your existing contract.
