C. For All Policies
Prior to the Effective Date. Until each substitution occurs, the Investment Division that invests in an Existing Portfolio being substituted will be available for investment. For thirty (30) days before the Effective Date, if you have allocations in any of the Existing Portfolios, you may transfer such allocations to any other available investment option without any charge or limitation (except potentially harmful transfers (see the “Limits on Transfers” section in the Prospectus for your policy)) and without the transfer counting toward the number of free transfers that otherwise may be made in a given Policy Year. Such transfer(s) will be based on the Accumulation Unit value of the Investment Division for the Existing Portfolio(s) as of the close of the Business Day that we receive the transfer request. All other transfers are subject to limitations, and may be subject to charges, as described in the Prospectus for your policy. Please see the Prospectus for your policy for information on how to complete transfers from the Investment Division for the Existing Portfolios to other investment options that we currently offer.
Until the Effective Date, we will continue to process premium payments and automatic transactions (such as dollar cost averaging, automatic asset rebalancing and interest sweep) involving the Existing Portfolios, unless you provide us with alternate allocation instructions. Also note that the Existing Portfolios will not accept new premium payment allocations or transfers as of the Effective Date.
On the Effective Date. Any of your allocations that remain in the Existing Portfolios on the Effective Date will be redeemed. Those redemptions will then be used to purchase Accumulation Units in the Investment Divisions for the Replacement Portfolios, as applicable. All policyowners affected by the substitution will receive a written confirmation of the transaction(s). The redemption and subsequent repurchase transactions required to effectuate the substitution will not be treated as transfers that count toward the number of free transfers that may otherwise be made in a given Policy Year.
Your Accumulation Value immediately prior to the Effective Date will be equal to your Accumulation Value immediately after the Effective Date; however, the number of units you receive in the Investment Divisions for the Replacement
Portfolios may be different from the number of units in the Investment Divisions for the Existing Portfolios. There will also be no change to your policy’s death benefit as a result of the substitutions. Each Replacement Portfolio will be available as an investment option under your policy. All references to the Existing Portfolios in your Prospectus shall be deleted and replaced with the applicable Replacement Portfolio.
After the Effective Date. Immediately following the Effective Date, the Existing Portfolios will no longer be available as investment options under your policy. In addition, for thirty (30) days following the Effective Date, you may transfer all or a portion of your Accumulation Value out of the Investment Divisions for the Replacement Portfolios to another investment option without any charge or limitation (except potentially harmful transfers (see the “Limits on Transfers” section in the Prospectus for your policy)) and without the transfers counting toward the number of free transfers that otherwise may be made in a given Policy Year. Such transfers will be based on the Accumulation Unit value of the Investment Divisions for the Replacement Portfolios as of the close of the Business Day that we receive the transfer request. All other transfers are subject to limitations, and may be subject to charges, as described in the Prospectus for your policy. Please see the Prospectus for your policy for information on how to complete transfers from the Replacement Portfolios to other investment options that we offer currently.
We will also continue to process premium payments and automatic transactions (such as dollar cost averaging, automatic asset rebalancing and interest sweep) after the Effective Date, except that allocations previously processed to or from the Existing Portfolios will be processed to or from the Replacement Portfolios.
A complete list of the investment options that are available under your policy, other than the Replacement Portfolios, is set forth in the Prospectus for your policy. Information regarding the Replacement Portfolios, including the investment objectives, policies, risks and fees and expenses, is contained in the Replacement Portfolios prospectuses. You may obtain additional copies of these Replacement Portfolio prospectuses or the Prospectus for your policy by calling
1-800-598-2019.
