| Not a Short-Term
Investment |
The Policy is designed to provide lifetime insurance protection. It
should not be used as a short-term investment or if
you need ready
access to cash because you will be charged when you make Premium
payments. In addition, withdrawals may be subject to ordinary
income tax and tax penalties. |
Principal Risks | ||
| Risks Associated with
Investment Options |
An investment in this Policy is subject to the risk of poor investment
performance and can vary depending on the performance of
the Portfolios available under the Policy. Each investment option (including any Fixed Account investment option) has its own unique risks. You should review the investment options before making an investment decision. |
Principal Risks | ||
| Insurance Company
Risks |
An investment in this Policy is subject to the risks related to
Metropolitan Life, including any obligations (including
under any Fixed Account investment option), guarantees, and benefits of the Policy, including any death benefit, that are subject to the claims
paying ability of Metropolitan Life. If Metropolitan Life experiences
financial distress, it may not be able to meet its
obligations to you.
More information about Metropolitan Life, including its financial
strength ratings, is available upon request by calling
(877) 638-3932 or by visiting https://www.metlife.com/about-us/corporate-profile/ ratings. |
Principal Risks | ||
| Contract Lapse |
Your Policy may lapse if you have paid an insufficient amount of
Premiums or if the investment experience of the Portfolios is poor, you have taken partial withdrawals, and the Cash Surrender
Value under your Policy is insufficient to cover the monthly deduction.
Lapse of a Policy on which there is an outstanding loan may have
adverse tax consequences. If the Policy lapses, no death
benefit will be paid. A Policy may be reinstated if the
conditions for reinstatement are met including the
payment of required Premiums. |

Compensation |
Your investment professional may receive compensation relating to
your ownership of the Policy, both in the form of

professionals may have a financial incentive to offer or
recommend the Policy over another
investment. |
Sales of the Policy | ||
| Exchanges |
Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to
offer you a new policy in place of your current Policy. You should only
exchange your Policy if you determine, after comparing the features,
fees, and risks of both policies, that it is better for you to purchase
the new policy rather than continue to own your existing
Policy. |

GLOSSARY
Age — The age of an Insured refers to the
Insured’s age at his or her nearest birthday.
Attained Age — The
Insured’s Issue Age plus the number of completed Policy years.
Base Policy — The Policy without riders.
Beneficiary — The
beneficiary is the person or persons designated by the Policy owner to receive insurance
proceeds upon the death of the Insured. A beneficiary may be changed as set forth in the Policy and this Prospectus. Unless otherwise stated
in the Policy, the beneficiary has no rights in the Policy before the death of the Insured. If there is more than one beneficiary at the death of the Insured, each will
receive equal payments unless otherwise provided by the Policy owner.
Cash Surrender Value — The amount You receive if
You surrender the Policy. It is equal to the Policy’s Cash Value
reduced by any outstanding Policy loan and accrued and unpaid interest.
Cash Value — A Policy’s cash
value includes the amount of its cash value held in the Separate Account, the amount held in the
Fixed Account, and if there is an outstanding Policy loan, the amount of its cash value held in the
Loan Account.
Date of Policy — The date on which coverage under the Policy and monthly deductions begin. If
you make a
Premium payment with the application, unless you request otherwise, the
date of policy is generally the date the Policy application is approved. If you choose to pay the initial Premium upon delivery of the Policy, unless you request otherwise, the date of policy is generally the date on which we receive your initial payment. The date of policy is used to
measure Policy years, Policy months, and Policy anniversaries.
Designated Office — Our Designated Office varies based on the type of service request or transaction that you are making.
For the most recent Designated Office address, please call (877) 638-3932 or contact us at [email protected].
Division — A sub-account of the Separate Account that invests in shares of an open-ended management investment company or other pools of investment
assets.
Fixed Account
— The fixed account is a part of our General Account to which
you may allocate Net Premiums. It provides
guarantees of principal and interest. Aspects of the fixed account are briefly summarized
in order to give a better understanding of how the Policy functions.
Fund — An underlying mutual fund in which the Separate Account assets are invested.
General Account — The assets of Metropolitan Life other than those allocated to the Separate Account.
Indebtedness — The total of any unpaid Policy loan and loan interest.
Insured — The person upon whose life the Policy is issued.
Investment Start Date — The later of the policy date and the date we first receive a Premium payment for the Policy.
Issue Age — The Age of the Insured as of his or her birthday nearest to the policy date.
6
Loan Account — The account to which Cash Value from the Separate and/or Fixed Accounts is transferred when a Policy loan is taken.
Monthly
Anniversary — The same date in each month as the policy date. For
purposes of the Separate Account, whenever the monthly anniversary date falls on a date other than a valuation date, the next valuation date will be deemed to be the
monthly anniversary.
Net Premium — The
net premium is equal to the Premium payment minus the sales charge, state tax charge and federal tax charge, administrative charges and any rider charges.
Planned Premium — The planned premium is
the Premium payment schedule you choose to help meet your future goals under the Policy. The planned premium consists of a first-year Premium amount and an amount for Premium payments in subsequent Policy years. It is subject to certain limits under the
Policy.
Portfolio — A
portfolio represents a class (or series) of a Fund in which a Division’s assets are invested.
Premiums — Premiums include all payments under the Policy, whether a Planned Premium or an unscheduled payment.
Separate Account — Metropolitan Life Separate Account UL, a
separate account established by MetLife to receive and invest Premiums paid
under the Policies and certain other variable life insurance policies, and to provide variable benefits.
Target Premium — We use the target premium to determine the amount of Mortality and Expense Risk Charge imposed on the Separate Account and the amount of sales charge imposed on Premium payments. The target
premium varies by Issue Age, sex (except for unisex Policies), smoking status and any flat extras and substandard rating of the Insured,
and the Policy’s base face amount, with additional amounts for most riders.
You — “You” refers
to the Policy owner.
