IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU SHOULD CONSIDER ABOUT THE CONTRACT
| |
FEES, EXPENSES AND ADJUSTMENTS |
LOCATION IN
PROSPECTUS | ||
| Are there Charges or
Adjustments for Early
Withdrawals? |
Yes. A Withdrawal Charge of up to 9.00% may be assessed if You make a withdrawal and the amount of the withdrawal is determined
to include the withdrawal of any purchase payment paid less than 7
years before the date of the withdrawal.
For example, if You purchase a Bonus Class Contract for $100,000
and surrender your Contract during the first year, You will pay a
Withdrawal Charge of up to $9,000. |
Charges | ||
| Are there Transaction
Charges? |
Yes. In addition to Withdrawal Charges, You also may be charged for other transactions such as transfers of Account Value among Divisions or between the Divisions and the Fixed Interest Account.
Although we do not currently charge a fee for transfers, we reserve
the right to impose a transfer fee of $25 on transfers in
excess of 12 in a Contract Year. |
Charges | ||
| Are there Ongoing Fees
and Expenses? |
Yes. 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. |

Account. The Base Contract Fee includes 0.03% for the Annual
Contract Fee. The Annual Contract Fee is $30 annually
and is charged only against amounts in the Separate
Account. The Annual Contract Fee is waived if the
Account Balance is $50,000 or more. Regardless of the
amount of your Account Balance, the entire fee will be
deducted if You take a total withdrawal of your Account
Balance. During the pay-out phase, we reserve the right
to deduct this fee.

| Because your Contract is customizable, the choices You make affect
how much You will pay. To help 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 that You do not take withdrawals from the Contract, which
could add Withdrawal Charges that substantially
increase costs. | ||||

RISKS |
LOCATION IN
PROSPECTUS | ||
| Is there a Risk of Loss
from Poor
Performance? |
Yes. You can lose money by investing in the Contract, including loss of principal. |
Principal Risks of
Investing in the Contract | ||
| Is this a Short-Term
Investment? |
No. This Contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. ●Amounts withdrawn from the Contract may result in surrender
charges, tax and tax penalties.
●Withdrawal Charges may apply to the withdrawal of any purchase
payment paid less than 7 years before the date of the
withdrawal. Withdrawal Charges will reduce the value of your Contract if You withdraw money during that time. ●The benefits of tax deferral and living benefit protections
also mean that the Contract is more beneficial to investors with a long
time horizon.
●Earnings on your Contract are taxed at ordinary income tax rates when You withdraw them. You may also have to pay a penalty if You take a withdrawal before age 59 1∕2. |
Principal Risks of
Investing in the Contract | ||
| What are the Risks
Associated with
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 investment options available under the Contract (e.g., Portfolios).
●Each investment option (including any Fixed Interest Account investment option) will have its own unique risks. ●You should review these investment options before making an investment decision. ●Subject to certain limitations, if your Account Value falls
below the minimum Account Balance or is not sufficient to
pay the Contract charges, we may terminate your
Contract. |

RISKS |
LOCATION IN
PROSPECTUS | ||
| What are the Risks
Related to the
Insurance Company? |
An investment in the Contract is subject to the risks related to the
Company. Any obligations (including under any Fixed Interest
Account investment option), guarantees, or benefits,
including any death benefit, are subject to the
claims-paying ability of the Company, and our long term
ability to make such payments, and are not guaranteed by
any other party. MetLife is regulated as an
insurance company under state law, which generally
includes limits on the amount and type of investments in
its 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. More
information about the Company, including its financial
strength ratings, is available by visiting https://

RESTRICTIONS |
LOCATION IN
PROSPECTUS | ||
| Are There Restrictions
on the Investment
Options? |
Yes. We reserve the right to limit the number of transfers per Contract Year to a maximum of twelve (excluding transfers resulting
from automated investment strategies). Currently we do not limit
the number of transfers You may make in a Contract Year.
Although we do not currently charge a fee for transfers
of Account Value among Divisions or between the Divisions
and the Fixed Interest Account, we reserve the right to
impose a transfer fee in the future of $25 for each
transfer over twelve in a Contract Year. Some optional
benefits impose restrictions and limitations on your
choice of Portfolios. These restrictions and requirements are
intended to protect the Company and reduce the likelihood
that we will have to pay guaranteed benefits under the
optional benefits out of our own assets. The restrictions
and requirements could result in your missing out on some
or all positive investment performance by certain
Portfolios. This means your opportunity for investment gains may be limited. We may change these restrictions in the future. We reserve the right to add, remove or substitute Portfolios. The Company also has policies and procedures that attempt to detect and deter frequent transfers in situations where we determine there is a potential for arbitrage trading, and in those
instances, there are additional limits that apply to
transfers. |
Transfers | ||
| Are there any
Restrictions on
Contract Benefits? |
Yes. Many optional benefits limit or restrict the Portfolios You may
select under the Contract. We may change these restrictions in the
future.
You are required to have a certain Contract Value for some optional
benefits. If withdrawals reduce Your Contract below this
value, your optional benefits may be reduced or
terminated. 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. If your annuity was issued in
connection with an employer plan, You should check with
your employer regarding the availability of riders. |

TAXES |
LOCATION IN
PROSPECTUS | ||
| What are the Contract's
Tax Implications? |
●You should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax
implications of an investment in and purchase payments
received under the Contract.
●There is no additional tax benefit if You purchase the Contract through a tax-qualified plan or individual retirement account (IRA). ●If your Contract was purchased through a tax-qualified plan
or IRA, withdrawals will be subject to ordinary income
tax. If your Contract is not tax-qualified, earnings on
your Contract will be subject to ordinary income tax when
You withdraw them. You may also have to pay a penalty if
You take a withdrawal before age 59 1∕2. |

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST |
LOCATION IN
PROSPECTUS | ||
| How are Investment
Professionals
Compensated? |
Your investment professional may receive compensation for selling
this Contract to You, both in the form of commissions and because
MetLife may share the revenue it earns on this Contract with the professional’s firm. This conflict of interest may influence your
investment professional to recommend this Contract over another
investment. |
Who Sells the Deferred
Annuities | ||
| 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 own. You should only
exchange your Contract if You determine, after comparing the
features, fees, and risks of both contracts, that it is better for You to
purchase the new contract rather than continue to own your existing
Contract. |
Exchanges/Transfers | ||

IMPORTANT TERMS YOU SHOULD KNOW
Account Value, Account Balance or Contract value — When
You purchase a Deferred Annuity, an account is set up for You. Your Account Balance (also referred to as Account Value or Contract value) is the total amount of money
in your Deferred Annuity, including money in the Divisions of the Separate Account,
the Fixed Interest Account and the Enhanced Dollar Cost Averaging Program.
Accumulation Unit Value — With a Deferred Annuity, money paid-in or transferred into a Division of the Separate
Account is credited to You in the form of Accumulation Units. Accumulation Units are established for each Division. We determine
the value of these Accumulation Units as of the close of the Exchange each day the Exchange is open for regular trading. The Exchange usually closes at 4 p.m. Eastern
Time but may close earlier or later. The values increase or decrease based on the investment performance of the corresponding underlying Portfolios. In addition to the investment performance of the Portfolios, the deduction of the Separate Account charge also affects a Division's Accumulation Unit Value.
Administrative Office — Our Administrative Office varies based on the type of service request or transaction that You are
making. The most recent correspondence or quarterly statement sent to You will have the address and telephone number that You can use to contact us for specific
transactions and requests. We will notify You if there are changes to this information.
Annuitant — The natural person whose life is the measure for determining the duration and the dollar amount of
income payments.
Annuity Unit — An accounting unit of measure used to calculate the amount of Annuity Payments.
Annuity Unit Value — With a variable Pay-Out Option, the money paid-in or reallocated into a Division of the Separate Account
is held in the form of Annuity Units. Annuity Units are established for each Division. We
determine the value of these Annuity Units as of the close of the Exchange each day the Exchange is open for regular trading. The Exchange usually closes at 4 p.m. Eastern Time but may close earlier or later. The values increase or decrease based on the investment performance of the corresponding underlying Portfolios, the
experience factor for the current valuation period, the daily AIR factor and the Separate Account charge.
Assumed Investment Return (AIR)
— Under a variable Pay-Out Option, the AIR is the assumed percentage
rate of return used to determine the amount of the first variable income payment. The AIR is also the benchmark that is used to calculate the investment performance of a given Division to determine all subsequent payments to You.
Beneficiary — The person or persons who receives a benefit, including continuing payments or a lump sum payment, in
the event a Contract Owner or Annuitant, as applicable, dies.
Contract — A
Contract is the legal agreement between You and MetLife. The Contract contains relevant provisions of your Deferred Annuity or Income Annuity.
Contract
Anniversary — An anniversary of the date we issue the Deferred
Annuity.
Contract Owner
— The person(s) or entity entitled to ownership rights under this
Contract. If Joint Owners are named, all references to Contract Owner shall mean Joint Owners.
Contract Year — The
Contract Year for a Deferred Annuity is the one year period starting on the date we issue
the Contract and each Contract Anniversary thereafter.
8
Deferred Annuity — This term is used throughout this Prospectus when we are referring to the Preference Plus Variable
Deferred Annuity Contract.
Divisions
— Divisions are subdivisions of the Separate Account. When
You allocate a purchase payment, transfer money or make reallocations of your Account Balance to a Division, the Division purchases
shares of a Portfolio (with the same name).
Exchange — The New York Stock Exchange is referred to as the “Exchange.”
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
correct. 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, facsimile (also referred to as
“fax”), email or internet) 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 Divisions 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 sales representative before submitting the form or
request.
MetLife — MetLife is Metropolitan Life Insurance Company which is the company that issues the Deferred Annuities and Income Annuities. Throughout this Prospectus, MetLife is also referred to as the “Company,” “we,” “us” or
“our.”
Pay-Out Options/Income
Options — These are options that You may elect when You convert your
Contract into a regular stream of income after your “pay-in” or “accumulation” phase. The pay-out phase is often referred to as either “annuitizing” your Contract or taking an income annuity.
Separate Account — Metropolitan Life Separate Account E (“Separate
Account”) is an investment account. All assets contributed to Divisions under the Deferred Annuities and Income Annuities are pooled in the Separate Account and
maintained for the benefit of investors in Deferred Annuities and Income Annuities.
Variable Annuity — An annuity with respect to which returns/income payments are based upon the performance of investments
such as stocks and bonds held by one or more underlying Portfolios. You assume the
investment risk for any amounts allocated to the Divisions in a variable annuity.
Withdrawal Charge — The Withdrawal Charge is
the amount we deduct from your Account Balance, if You
withdraw money prematurely from a Deferred Annuity. This charge is often referred to as a deferred sales load or back-end sales load.
You — In this Prospectus “You” is the Contract Owner of the Deferred Annuity or the Income Annuity and 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 MetLife).
“You” can also be a Beneficiary of a deceased person’s Individual Retirement Account
Contract or non-qualified Deferred Annuity who purchases the Deferred Annuity in his or her
capacity as Beneficiary. A Contract may have two
Contract Owners (both of whom must be individuals). The
9
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.

For Contracts for which applications and necessary information were received at our Administrative Office prior to May 4, 2009 the following investment allocation restrictions apply under Option (B): You must allocate at least 15% of purchase payments or Account Balance to Platform 1 investment choices and/or the Fixed Interest Account and the BlackRock Ultra-Short Term Bond Division (where available) and You may allocate up to 85% of purchase payments or Account Balance to Platform 2 investment choices (the percentages for Platforms 3 and 4 are the same as those listed above)
(2)
We determine whether an investment choice is classified as Platform 1, Platform 2, Platform 3 or Platform 4. We may determine or change the classification of an investment choice in the event that an investment choice is added, deleted, substituted, merged or otherwise reorganized. You will not be required to reallocate purchase payments or Account Balance that You allocated to an investment choice before we changed its classification, unless You make a new purchase payment or request a transfer among investment choices (other than pursuant to rebalancing and an Enhanced Dollar Cost Averaging Program in existence at the time the classification of the investment choice changed). If You make a new purchase payment or request a transfer among investment choices, You will be required to take the new classification into account in the allocation of your entire Account Balance. We will provide You with prior written notice of any changes in classification of investment choices.

Optional Enhanced Dollar Cost Averaging Program and Automated Investment Strategies.
The Enhanced Dollar Cost Averaging Program is available in either Option (A) or Option (B). If You choose to allocate according to Option (B) above, and You choose to allocate a purchase payment to the Enhanced Dollar Cost Averaging
Program, You must allocate the entire purchase payment to that program. Any transfer from an Enhanced Dollar Cost Averaging Program balance must be allocated in accordance with the limitations described above. In addition, if You made previous purchase payments before allocating a purchase payment to the Enhanced Dollar Cost
Averaging Program, all transfers from the Enhanced Dollar Cost Averaging Program balance must be allocated to the same Divisions as your most recent allocations for purchase payments. The Rebalancer is available in Option (A). Only the Conservative and Conservative to Moderate Models of Index Selector are available in Option (A). Index Selector is not available if You choose Option (B).
Your purchase payments and transfer requests must be allocated in accordance with the above limitations. We will reject any purchase payments or transfer requests that do not comply with the above limitations.

Rebalancing. If You choose to allocate according to Option (B) above, we will rebalance
your Account Balance on a quarterly basis based on your most recent allocation of purchase payments that complies with the allocation limitations described above. We will also rebalance your Account Balance when we receive a subsequent purchase payment that is accompanied by new allocation instructions (in addition to the quarterly rebalancing). We will first rebalance your Account Balance on the date that is three months from the optional benefit issue date; provided however, if a quarterly rebalancing date occurs on the 29th, 30th or 31st of a month, we will instead rebalance on the first day of the following month. We will subsequently rebalance your Account Balance on each quarter
thereafter on the same day. In addition, if a quarterly rebalancing date is not a business day, the reallocation will occur on the next business day. Withdrawals from the Contract will not result in rebalancing on the date of withdrawal. The rebalancing requirement described above does not apply if You choose to allocate according to Option (A) above.
