EXCHANGE OFFER
An exchange offer was made in connection with an assumption reinsurance transaction (the “Program”) between Equitable Financial Life Insurance Company of America (“EFLOA”, the “Company” or “we”) and Equitable Financial Life Insurance Company (“EFLIC”). Pursuant to the Program, certain EFLIC variable annuity contracts (each an “EFLIC Contract” and collectively, the “EFLIC Contracts”) will be exchanged for identical EFLOA contracts (each an “EFLOA Contract” and collectively, the “EFLOA Contracts”). Not all contracts are eligible for the exchange offer.
Depending on which state your EFLIC Contract was issued in, you may have to affirmatively consent to or have the right to opt-out of the exchange. We will advise you which of the following consent processes applies to your EFLIC contract (based on the state it was issued in):
| • | In certain states, you must affirmatively consent to the exchange (“opt-in process”). |
| • | In certain states, you will be deemed to have elected the exchange if you do not exercise your right to opt out within a specified period (“opt-out process”). |
| • | In certain states, your EFLIC Contract will be exchanged for an EFLOA Contract automatically without any action by you (“automatic process”). |
Please note, in a majority of states, you will not be required to take any additional steps or provide affirmative consent before your EFLIC Contract is exchanged for an EFLOA Contract.
Important Considerations
If your EFLIC Contract is exchanged for an EFLOA Contract:
| • | Your EFLIC Contract will terminate and EFLIC will have no further obligation to you for the benefits under your EFLIC Contract. |
| • | EFLOA will be solely responsible to you for the benefits under your EFLOA Contract. |
| • | The Account Value in your EFLIC Contract will be transferred to your EFLOA Contract without any change in value and there will be no interruption to your investments because of the exchange. |
| • | At the time of the exchange, the same investment options available under your EFLIC Contract will be available for investment under your EFLOA Contract. Any investment restrictions applicable under your EFLIC Contract will continue to apply under your EFLOA Contract. |
| • | Your death benefit and any optional benefit(s) under your EFLOA Contract immediately after the exchange will be the same as your death benefit and any optional benefit(s) under your EFLIC Contract immediately before the exchange and will continue to be calculated in the same way. |
| • | You will receive credit for the time your contributions were invested in your EFLIC Contract for purposes of determining whether a withdrawal charge, if applicable, applies under your EFLOA Contract. |
| • | We will not assess any charges against you because of the exchange. |
There should be no adverse tax consequences to contract owners because of the Program between EFLIC and EFLOA or the exchange of an EFLIC Contract for an EFLOA Contract. Notwithstanding, we recommend that you consult your tax advisor.

Important information you should consider about the contract
| FEES AND EXPENSES | ||
| Are there Charges or Adjustments for Early Withdrawals? | Yes. Each series of the contract provides for different withdrawal charge periods and percentages.
Series B — If you surrender your contract, apply your cash value to a non-life contingent annuity payment option, or withdraw money from Series B of the contract within 7 years following your last contribution, you will be assessed a withdrawal charge of up to 7% of contributions withdrawn. For example, if you make a withdrawal in the first year, you could pay a withdrawal charge of up to $7,000 on a $100,000 investment. This loss will be greater if there are taxes, or tax penalties.
Series CP® — If you surrender your contract, apply your cash value to a non-life contingent annuity payment option, or withdraw money from Series CP® of the contract within 9 years following your last contribution, you will be assessed a withdrawal charge of up to 8% of contributions withdrawn. For example, if you make a withdrawal in the first year, you could pay a withdrawal charge of up to $8,000 on a $100,000 investment. This loss will be greater if there are taxes, or tax penalties.
For additional information about charges for surrenders and early withdrawals see “Withdrawal charge” in “Charges and expenses” in the Prospectus. | |
| Are There Transaction Charges? | Yes. In addition to withdrawal charges, you may also be charged for other transactions including special requests such as wire transfers, express mail, duplicate contracts, preparing checks, third-party transfers or exchanges; or when you transfer between investment options in excess a certain number.
For additional information about transaction charges see “Charges that the Company deducts” in “Charges and expenses” in the Prospectus. | |
| Are There Ongoing Fees and Expenses? | Yes. Each series of the contract provides for different ongoing fees and expenses. The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay each year, depending on the investment options and optional benefits you choose. Please refer to your contract specifications page for information about the specific fees you will pay each year based on the options you have elected.
|
| Annual Fee | Minimum | Maximum | ||
| Base Contract (varies by contract series)(1) | 1.30% | 1.65% | ||
| Portfolio Company fees and expenses(2) | 0.54% | 3.48% | ||
| Optional benefits available for an additional charge (for a single optional benefit, if elected)(3) | Specified on Rate Sheet Supplement | 2.50% | ||
| (1) Expressed as an annual percent of daily net assets in the variable investment options. (2) Expressed as an annual percentage of daily net assets in the Portfolio. This range is for the year ended December 31, 2025 and could change from year to year. (3) Expressed as an annual percentage of the applicable benefit base. | ||
|
Because your contract is customizable, the choices you make affect how much you will pay. To help you understand the cost of owning your contract, the following table shows the lowest and highest cost you could pay each year, based on current charges. This estimate assumes no credits and that you do not take withdrawals from the contract, which could add withdrawal charges that substantially increase costs.
| ||
| Lowest Annual Cost $1,695 |
Highest Annual Cost $5,849 | |
|
Assumes: • Investment of $100,000 • 5% annual appreciation • Least expensive combination of contract series and Portfolio fees and expenses • No optional benefits • No sales charges • No additional contributions, transfers or withdrawals |
Assumes: • Investment of $100,000 • 5% annual appreciation • Most expensive combination of contract series (Series CP®), optional benefits (GMIB and Highest Anniversary Value death benefit) and Portfolio fees and expenses • No sales charges • No additional contributions, transfers or withdrawals | |

| For additional information about ongoing fees and expenses see “Fee Table” in the Prospectus. |
| RISKS | ||
| Is There a Risk of Loss From Poor Performance? | The contract is subject to the risk of loss. You could lose some or all of your account value depending on the investment options you choose.
For additional information about the risk of loss see “Principal risks of investing in the contract” in the 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 because the contract is designed to provide for the accumulation of retirement savings and income on a long-term basis. As such, you should not use the contract as a short-term investment or savings vehicle. A withdrawal charge may apply in certain circumstances and any withdrawals may also be subject to federal and state income taxes and tax penalties.
For additional information about the investment profile of the contract see “Fee Table” in the Prospectus. | |
| What are the Risks Associated with the Investment Options? | An investment in the contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the variable investment options available under the contract, (e.g., the Portfolios). Each investment option, including the guaranteed interest option, has its own unique risks. You should review the investment options available under the contract before making an investment decision.
For additional information about the risks associated with investment options see “Variable investment options”, “Fixed investment options” and “Portfolios of the Trusts” in ”Purchasing the Contract” in the Prospectus. See also Appendix “Investment options available under the contract” in the Prospectus. | |
| What are the Risks Related to the Insurance Company? | An investment in the contract is subject to the risks related to the Company. The Company is solely responsible to the contract owner for the contract’s account value and the Guaranteed benefits. The general obligations, including the fixed investment options, and any Guaranteed benefits under the contract are supported by our general account and are subject to our claims-paying ability. An owner should look solely to our financial strength for our claims-paying ability. More information about the Company, including our financial strength ratings, may be obtained at https://equitable.com/about-us/financial-strength-ratings.
For additional information about insurance company risks see “About the general account” in “More information” in the Prospectus. | |
| RESTRICTIONS | ||
| Are There Restrictions on the Investment Options? | Yes. We may, at any time, exercise our rights to limit or terminate your contributions, allocations and transfers to any of the variable investment options (including the Protected Benefit account variable investment options) and to limit the number of variable investment options which you may select. Such rights include, among others, removing or substituting the Portfolios, combining any two or more variable investment options and transferring account value from any variable investment option to another variable investment option.
Credits under Series CP® contracts may be recaptured upon free look, annuitization, and death.
There are restrictions regarding investment options if Guaranteed benefits are elected, limits on contributions and transfers into and out of the guaranteed interest option, and restrictions or limitations with Special DCA programs. See “Allocating your contributions” in “Purchasing the Contract” and “Transferring your account value” in “Transferring your money among investment options” in the Prospectus for more information.
For more information see “The Separate Account” in “More information” in the Prospectus.
Currently, we do not charge for transfers among investment options under the contract. However, we reserve the right to charge for any transfers in excess of 12 per contract year. We will provide you with advance notice if we decide to assess the transfer charge, which will never exceed $35 per transfer.
The availability of investment options may vary depending on the financial intermediary through which the contract is sold. See “Intermediary-specific variations” appendix to the Prospectus.
Contributions and transfers into and out of the guaranteed interest option are limited.
For additional information about restrictions on the investment options, see “Transfer charge” and “Guaranteed Interest Option” in “Charges and expenses”, and “Portfolios of the Trusts” in “Purchasing the Contract” and “Transferring your money among investment options” in the Prospectus. | |
4
| Are There Any Restrictions on Contract Benefits? | Yes. At any time, we have the right to limit or terminate your contributions, allocations and transfers to any of the variable investment options. If you have one or more Guaranteed benefits (which are also known as optional benefits) and we exercise our right to discontinue the acceptance of, and/or place additional limitations on, contributions to the contract and/or contributions and/ or transfers into the Protected Benefit account variable investment options, you may no longer be able to fund your Guaranteed benefit(s).
Investment options are limited if Guaranteed benefits are elected. Withdrawals that exceed limits specified by the terms of an optional benefit may affect the availability of the benefit by reducing the benefit by an amount greater than the value withdrawn, and/or could terminate the benefit.
The standard and optional death benefits offered with the contract are available only at contract purchase. Withdrawals could significantly reduce or terminate the death benefit.
The availability of contract benefits may vary depending on the financial intermediary through which the contract is sold. See “Intermediary-specific variations” appendix to the Prospectus.
For additional information about the optional benefits see “How you can purchase and contribute to your contract” in “Purchasing the Contract” in the Prospectus. See also “Death Benefits” and “Living Benefits” in “Benefits available under the contract” in the Prospectus. | |
| TAXES | ||
| What Are the Contract’s Tax Implications? | You should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of an investment in, and payments received under, the contract. There is no additional tax benefit to you if the contract is purchased through a tax-qualified plan or individual retirement account (IRA). Withdrawals will be subject to ordinary income tax and may be subject to tax penalties. Generally, you are not taxed until you make a withdrawal from the contract.
For additional information about tax implications see “Tax information” in the Prospectus. | |
| CONFLICTS OF INTEREST | ||
| How Are Investment Professionals Compensated? | Some financial professionals may receive compensation for selling the contract to you, both in the form of commissions or in the form of contribution-based compensation. Financial professionals may also receive additional compensation for enhanced marketing opportunities and other services (commonly referred to as “marketing allowances”). This conflict of interest may influence the financial professional to recommend this contract over another investment.
For additional information about compensation to financial professionals see “Distribution of the contracts” in “More information” in the Prospectus. | |
| Should I Exchange My Contract? | Some financial professionals may have a financial incentive to offer a new contract in place of the one you already own. You should only exchange your contract if you determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both contracts, as well as any fees or penalties to terminate your existing contract, that it is preferable to purchase the new contract rather than continue to own your existing contract.
For additional information about exchanges see “Charge for third-party transfer or exchange” in “Charges and expenses” in the Prospectus. | |
