Important Notice Regarding the Reorganization of LVIP American Century International Fund

 

The Board of Trustees of the Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust has approved the reorganization (the “Reorganization”) of the LVIP American Century International Fund (the “Target Fund”) with and into the LVIP MFS International Growth Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”), see table below.

 

Target Fund and Corresponding Share Class	Acquiring Fund and Corresponding Share Class
LVIP American Century International Fund – Standard Class II	LVIP MFS International Growth Fund – Standard Class

 

The Reorganization is subject to shareholder approval and will be submitted to shareholders of the Target Funds for their consideration at a special meeting to be held on or about October 7, 2026. It is anticipated that the Reorganization, if approved by the shareholders, will take place, on or about October 9, 2026 (the “Closing Date”).

 

On the Closing Date, after the close of business, your Contract Value in the Sub-Account invested in the Target Fund at the time of the Reorganization will become invested in the Sub-Account that invests in the corresponding class of the Acquiring Fund, and the Target Fund will liquidate, cease operations, and will no longer be available for investment. Unless you instruct us otherwise, any allocation instruction you have on file that includes the Target Fund will be automatically updated with the Acquiring Fund after the Closing Date.

 

A Proxy Statement/Prospectus will be sent to Contract Owners invested in the Target Fund requesting their vote on the proposal, which will include a full discussion of the Reorganization and the factors the Board of Trustees considered in approving the proposal.

 

Your rights and obligations under the Contract and your Contract Value will not change as a result of the Reorganization. The fees and charges under the Contract will not change and there are no tax consequences to you as a result of the Reorganization.

 

*               *               *

 

As of the Closing Date, this Supplement amends your Prospectus by removing all references to the Target Fund as an Investment Option under the Contract. As of the Closing Date, the Acquiring Fund will be added as an Investment Option under your Contract.

 

 

On the Closing Date, the table in the APPENDIX: INVESTMENT OPTIONS AVAILABLE UNDER THE CONTRACT section is amended to include the following:

 

Asset Allocation Type	Portfolio Company – Investment Adviser; Sub-Adviser(s), as applicable	Current Expenses	Average Annual Total Returns (as of 12/31/2025)			SecurePay Pro Rider Allocation Investment Category(2)
			1 Year	5 Year	10 Year
International Equity	LVIP MFS International Growth Fund - Standard Class - Lincoln Financial Investments Corporation - Massachusetts Financial Services Company(1)(5)	0.79%	19.11%	7.09%	9.73%	4

 

See Prospectus for footnotes.
