The following supplemental information should be read in conjunction with the Prospectus, Initial Summary Prospectus and Updating Summary Prospectus dated May 1, 2024 for Flexible Solutions^® VUL (2018) issued through The Guardian Separate Account N.

 

Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) approved by the Board of Trustees of Pioneer Variable Contracts Trust and subject to shareholder approval the Pioneer Equity Income VCT Portfolio (“Target Fund”) will be merged into Victory Pioneer Equity Income VCT Portfolio (“Acquiring Fund”). Pursuant to which on or about April 1, 2025 (the “Transaction Date”) the Target Fund will transfer all of its assets and liabilities to the Acquiring Fund in exchange for shares of the corresponding class of the Acquiring Fund that will be distributed to Target Fund shareholders in completion of the transaction.

 

The Target Fund will not close to investors prior to the Transaction Date. Effective as of the close of business on the Transaction Date, the Target Funds will no longer be available investment options under your contract and will be replaced by the corresponding Acquiring Funds as an available investment option.

 

Prior to the Transaction Date, you may change your premium payment allocations instructions and transfer your allocations of contract value to any other available variable investment options offered under the terms of your Policy. Any contract value in the Contract that is allocated to a Target Fund at the close of business on the Transaction Date will be transferred to the corresponding Acquiring Fund. For 30 days following the Transaction Date, you may transfer a portion, or the entire amount, of your accumulation value transferred to an Acquiring Fund to any other available variable investment options or the fixed rate option free of charge. Transfers made due to the transaction will not be counted with regard to the maximum number of free transfers and the limits on the number of transfers under your contract.

 

You may make changes to your investment allocations by submitting your written, electronic or telephone instructions in good order at our Customer Service Office at The Guardian Insurance & Annuity Company, Inc. P.O. Box 981588, El Paso, TX 79998-1588 (regular mail) or The Guardian Insurance & Annuity Company, Inc. 5951 Luckett Ct., Bldg A, El Paso, TX 79932 (overnight mail) or by calling 1-888-GUARDIAN (1-888-482-7342).

If we receive your request on a business day after 4:00 p.m. or on a non-business day, you will receive the next business day’s unit values.

to the Portfolio until the Transaction Date. If you do not provide new allocation instructions, your Portfolio Rebalancing will automatically be updated to replace the applicable Target Fund with the corresponding Acquiring Fund on the Transaction Date.

 

•

Premium Allocation Instructions: If you have premium allocation instructions on file that include the Portfolio, you may change those allocation instructions by providing new allocation instructions at any time. Unless you provide new instructions, amounts allocated pursuant to your current allocation instructions will continue to be allocated to the Portfolio until the Transaction Date. If you do not provide new allocation instructions, your premium allocation instructions will automatically be updated to replace the applicable Target Fund with the corresponding Acquiring Fund on the Transaction Date.
