Contractual fee reductions and/or expense reimbursements related to a Portfolio will
continue for a period that ends on a specific date. The shortest period will end on September
30, 2007 and the longest period will end on April 30, 2009. |
The information about Portfolio expenses that the Company used to prepare this table was
provided to the us by the Portfolios. We have not independently verified the Portfolio expense
information. The minimum and maximum expenses shown in the table are for the year ended December
31, 2006, except as noted below. Actual expenses of a Portfolio in future years may be higher or
lower.
The Portfolios in the Financial Investors Variable Insurance Trust and the Wilshire Variable
Insurance Trust are structured as fund of funds and invest in other investment companies
(Acquired Funds). As a result, each Ibbotson portfolio and each Wilshire portfolio will likely
incur higher expenses than fund that invest directly in securities.
The maximum expenses shown in the table are the expenses of the Wilshire 2045 Moderate Fund (the
Wilshire 2045 Fund). The expenses shown in the table for the 2045 Wilshire Fund include fees and
expenses of its Acquired Funds. The 2045 Wilshire Funds expenses before any reduction or
reimbursement reflect the small asset base of the 2045 Wilshire Fund, which commenced operations on
May 1, 2006. The Wilshire 2045 Funds expenses after reductions and/or reimbursements reflect that
(1) its adviser has contractually agreed to waive management fees and/or reimburse expenses through
April 30, 2008, so that the Wilshire 2045 Funds expenses, excluding the fees and expenses of its
Acquired Funds will not exceed 0.50% and (2) two components (other expenses and expense
reimbursements) of the 2045 Wilshire Funds total expenses were calculated as of April 10, 2007 to
reflect asset growth in the Wilshire 2045 Fund since December 31, 2006.

Condensed Financial Information
Condensed financial information for the Contracts is set forth in Appendix A to this
prospectus. This information includes the following information for the standard Contracts and the
enhanced Contracts:
|
|
year-end accumulation unit values for each Subaccount from December 31, 1997 to December 31, 2006 (or from the end of
the year of inception to December 31, 2006) |
|
|
|
number of accumulation units outstanding as of the end of each period. |
Financial Statements
The financial statements and reports of the independent registered public accounting firm of
the Company and of the Separate Account are included in the Statement of Additional Information.
What is the Separate Account?
The Separate Account is an account that was established and is maintained by the Company. It
is a unit investment trust registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The
Separate Account is divided into Subaccounts. Each Subaccount invests in shares of the
corresponding Portfolio listed on the cover page of this prospectus. If you choose a variable
investment option, you are investing in a Subaccount, not directly in the corresponding Portfolio.
What Are the Contracts?
The Contracts are individual and group deferred annuities, which are insurance products. The
Contracts are sold with either a standard or an enhanced fee structure, as described in the Expense
Tables of this prospectus. The Contracts are available in both tax-qualified and non-tax-qualified
forms, both of which are designed to be eligible for tax-deferred investment status. See the
Federal Tax Matters section of this prospectus for more information about tax qualifications and
taxation of annuities in general. During the Accumulation Period, the amounts you contribute can be
allocated among any of the then available variable investment options and Fixed Account options.
The variable investment options are the Subaccounts of the Separate Account, each of which is
invested in a Portfolio. The Owner bears the risk of any investment gain or loss on amounts
allocated to the Subaccounts. The Fixed Account options earn a rate of interest declared from time
to time by the Company, which will be no less than the minimum interest rate permitted under the
law of the state when and where the Contract is issued. The Company guarantees amounts invested in
the Fixed Account options and the earnings thereon so long as those amounts remain in the Fixed
Account.
During the Benefit Payment Period, payments can be allocated between variable dollar and fixed
dollar options. If a variable dollar option is selected, Benefit Units can be allocated to any of
the Subaccounts that are then available.
6
What Benefits Are Available under the Contract?
|
|
|
Annuity Benefit
|
|
When the Contract is annuitized, we
promise to pay a stream of Annuity
Benefit payments for the duration of
the settlement option selected. |
|
|
|
Death Benefit
|
|
A Death Benefit will be paid under
the Contract if the Owner dies
during the Accumulation Period. |
|
|
|
Optional Guaranteed Withdrawal
Benefits
|
|
If you choose to activate that
Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal
Benefit, it will provide a lifetime
withdrawal Benefit, up to a certain
amount each Benefit Year.
If you choose to activate the
Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal
Benefit, it will provide a minimum
withdrawal Benefit, up to a certain
amount each Benefit Year.
You cannot activate the Rider if in
the future we are no longer issuing
the Rider with any new annuity
contracts and we prohibit further
activations on a nondiscriminatory
basis. |
What Are the Risks Related to the Contract?
The variable investment options to which you allocate Purchase Payments may lose value, which
would cause your Account Value to decrease. We may not be able to pay claims related to the
annuity, death or guaranteed withdrawal benefits. A penalty tax may be imposed at the time of a
withdrawal or a surrender depending on your age and other circumstances.
How Do I Purchase or Cancel a Contract?
The requirements to purchase a Contract are explained in The Contracts section of this
prospectus. You may purchase a Contract only through a licensed securities representative. You may
cancel a Contract within twenty days after you receive it (the right to cancel may be longer in
some states). In many states, you will bear the risk of investment gain or loss on any amounts
allocated to the Subaccounts prior to cancellation. The right to cancel may not apply to group
Contracts. The right to cancel is described in the Right to Cancel section of this prospectus.
Will Any Penalties or Charges Apply If I Make Withdrawals or Surrender a Contract?
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) may apply to amounts withdrawn or surrendered
depending on the timing and amount of the withdrawal or surrender. The maximum CDSC is 7% for each
purchase payment. The CDSC percentage decreases by 1% annually to 0% after seven years from the
date of receipt of each purchase payment. The CDSC will be waived in its entirety following the
tenth Contract Anniversary for Contracts issued pursuant to Internal Revenue Code 403(b) (if the
Contract is issued without an employer plan endorsement), including those issued to Contract Owners
in the Texas Teachers Retirement System. Withdrawal and surrender procedures and the CDSC are
described in the Surrender and Withdrawals section of this prospectus. A penalty tax may also be
imposed at the time of a withdrawal or surrender depending on your age and other circumstances of
the surrender. Tax consequences of a withdrawal and surrender are described in the Federal Tax
Matters section of this prospectus. The right to make withdrawals or surrender may be restricted
under certain tax-qualified retirement plans.
What Other Charges and Deductions Apply to the Contract?
Other than the CDSC, the Company will charge the fees and charges listed below unless the
Company reduces or waives the fee or charge as discussed in the Charges and Deductions section of
this prospectus:
|
|
a transfer fee for certain transfers among investment options; |
|
|
|
an annual contract maintenance fee, which is assessed only against investments in the Subaccounts; |
|
|
|
a mortality and expense risk charge, which is an expense of the Separate Account and charged against all assets in the
Subaccounts (this charge may never be entirely waived); |
|
|
|
an administration charge, which is an expense of the Separate Account and charged against all assets in the
Subaccounts; and |
|
|
|
premium taxes, if any. |
In addition to charges and deductions under the Contracts, the Portfolios incur expenses that are
passed through to Owners. Portfolio expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 are
included in the Expense Tables of this prospectus and are described in the prospectuses and
statements of additional information for the Portfolios.

How Do I Contact the Company?
Any questions or inquiries should be directed to the Companys Administrative Office, P.O. Box
5423, Cincinnati, Ohio 45201-5423, 1-800-789-6771. Please include the Contract number and the
Owners name. You may also contact us through our web site, www.gafri.com.

Portfolios
The Separate Account currently is divided into 46 Subaccounts.. Each Subaccount invests in the
corresponding Portfolio listed below. The current Portfolio prospectuses, which accompany this
prospectus, contain additional information concerning the investment objectives, policies and
practices of each Portfolio, the investment advisory services and administrative services of each
Portfolio, and the expenses of each Portfolio.
You should read the Portfolio prospectuses carefully before making any decision concerning the
allocation of Purchase Payments to, or transfers among, the Subaccounts.
There is no assurance that the Portfolios will achieve their stated objectives. The SEC does not
supervise the management or the investment policies and/or practices of any of the Portfolios.
All dividends and capital gains distributed by the Portfolios are reinvested in the Separate
Account and reflected in Accumulation Unit Values. Portfolio dividends and net capital gains are
not distributed to Owners.
The Portfolios are available only through insurance company separate accounts and certain qualified
retirement plans. Though a Portfolio may have a name and/or investment objectives that are similar
to those of a publicly available mutual fund, and/or may be managed by the same investment advisor
that manages a publicly available mutual fund, the performance of the Portfolio is entirely
independent of the performance of any publicly available mutual fund. Neither the Company nor the
Portfolios make any representations or assurances that the investment performance of any Portfolio
will be the same or similar to the investment performance of any publicly available mutual fund.

Each Ibbotson Portfolio and each Wilshire Portfolio listed in the table above is structured as
a fund of funds. A fund of funds attempts to achieve its investment objective by investing in
other investment companies (each, an Acquired Fund), which in turn invest directly in securities.
Each Ibbotson Portfolio and each Wilshire Portfolio indirectly incurs a proportionate share of the
expenses of each Acquired Fund in which it invests. As a result of this fund of funds structure,
the Ibbotson Portfolios and the Wilshire Portfolio will likely incur higher expenses than funds
that invest directly in securities.
Additions or Substitutions of Portfolios
New Subaccounts may be established when, in our sole discretion, marketing, tax, investment or
other conditions warrant. Any new Subaccounts will be made available to existing Owners on a basis
to be determined by us and that is not discriminatory. We do not guarantee that any of the
Subaccounts or any of the Portfolios will always be available for allocation of Purchase Payments
or variable dollar payments or for transfers. We may substitute the shares of a different portfolio
or a different class of shares for shares held in a Portfolio.
In the event of any addition, merger, combination or substitution, we may make such changes in the
Contract as may be necessary or appropriate to reflect such event. Additions, mergers, combinations
or substitutions may be due to an investment decision by us, or due to an event not within our
control, such as liquidation of a Portfolio or an irreconcilable conflict of interest between the
Separate Account and another insurance company that offers the Portfolio. We will obtain approval
of additions, mergers, combinations or substitution from the SEC to the extent required by the
Investment Company Act of 1940, or other applicable law. We will also notify you before we make a
substitution.
Charges and Deductions by the Company
There are two types of charges and deductions by the Company. There are charges assessed to
the Contract, which are reflected in the Account Value of the Contract, but not in Accumulation
Unit Values (or Benefit Unit Values). These charges are the contingent deferred sales charge, the
annual contract maintenance fee, transfer fees and premium taxes, where applicable. There are also
charges assessed against the Separate Account. These charges are reflected in the Accumulation Unit
Values (and Benefit Unit Values) of the Subaccounts. These charges are the mortality and expense
risk charge and the administration charge.
Except as described below, the Company will never charge more to a Contract than the fees and
charges described below, even if its actual expenses exceed the total fees and charges collected.
If the fees and charges collected by the Company exceed the actual expenses it incurs, the excess
will be profit to the Company and will not be returned to Owners.
The Company reserves the right to change the amount of the transfer fee in the future, or the
number of transfers that can be made without incurring the transfer fee, and/or to charge fees for
the automatic transfer programs described in the Transfers section of this prospectus, and/or for
the systematic withdrawal program described in the Surrender and Withdrawals section of this
prospectus, if in the Companys discretion, it determines such charges are necessary to offset the
costs of administering transfers or systematic withdrawals. The maximum amount of these charges and
fees is described below.

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge
|
|
|
Purpose of Charge
|
|
Compensation for bearing certain mortality and expense risks under the Contract.
Mortality risks arise from the Companys obligation to make benefit payments during
the Benefit Payment Period and to make the death benefit. The expense risk assumed
by the Company is the risk that the Companys actual expenses in administering the
Contracts and the Separate Account will exceed the amount recovered through the
contract maintenance fees, transfer fees and administration charges. |
|
|
|
Amount of Charge

issue a Contract with a reduced mortality and expense risk charge. These Contracts
are referred to as Enhanced Contracts. The mortality and expense risk charge
under an Enhanced Contract is a daily charge of 0.002615% of the daily Net Asset
Value for each Subaccount, which corresponds to an effective annual rate of 0.95%. |

Premium Taxes
Currently some state governments impose premium taxes on annuity purchase payments. These taxes
currently range from zero to 3.5% depending upon the jurisdiction. A federal premium tax has been
proposed but not enacted. The Company will deduct any applicable premium taxes from the Account
Value either upon death, withdrawal, surrender, annuitization, or at the time purchase payments are
made, but no earlier than when the Company incurs a tax liability under applicable law.
15
Discretionary Waivers of Charges
The Company will look at the following factors to determine if it will waive a charge, in part or
in full, due to reduced sales and servicing expenses: (1) the size and type of the group to which
sales are to be made; (2) the total amount of purchase payments to be received; and (3) any prior
or existing relationship with the Company. The Company would expect to incur reduced sales and
servicing expenses in connection with Contracts offered to employees of the Company, its
subsidiaries and/or affiliates. There may be other circumstances, of which the Company is not
presently aware, which could result in reduced sales and servicing expenses. In no event will the
Company waive a charge where such waiver would be unfairly discriminatory to any person.
Expenses of the Portfolios
In addition to charges and deductions by the Company, there are Portfolio management fees and
administration expenses which are described in the prospectus and Statement of Additional
Information for each Portfolio. Portfolio expenses, like Separate Account expenses, are reflected
in Accumulation Unit Values (or Benefit Unit Values).
16
PURCHASE PAYMENTS AND ALLOCATIONS TO INVESTMENT OPTIONS
Purchase Payments
Purchase payments may be made at any time during the Accumulation Period. The current
restrictions on purchase payment amounts are:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tax-Qualified |
|
Non-Tax-Qualified |
Minimum initial purchase payment |
|
$2,000 |

$50 |
Maximum single purchase payment |
|
$500,000 or Company approval |
|
$500,000 or Company approval |
|

|
|
The Company reserves the right to increase or decrease the minimum initial purchase payment or
minimum purchase payment under a periodic payment program, the minimum allowable additional
purchase payment, or the maximum single purchase payment, at its discretion and at any time, where
permitted by law.
Each purchase payment will be applied by the Company to the credit of the Owners account. If the
application or order ticket form is in good order, the Company will apply the initial purchase
payment to an account for the Owner within two business days of receipt of the purchase payment. If
the application or order ticket form is not in good order, the Company will attempt to get the
application or order ticket form in good order within five business days. If the application or
order ticket form is not in good order at the end of this period, the Company will inform the
applicant of the reason for the delay and that the purchase payment will be returned immediately
unless he or she specifically gives the Company consent to keep the purchase payment until the
application or order ticket form is in good order. Once the application or order ticket form is in
good order, the purchase payment will be applied to the Owners account within two business days.
Each additional Purchase Payment is credited to a Contract as of the Valuation Date on which the
Company receives the Purchase Payment and any related allocation instructions in good order. If any
portion of the additional Purchase Payment is allocated to a Subaccount, it will be applied at the
next Accumulation Unit Value calculated after the Company receives the Purchase Payment and related
allocation instructions in good order.
The Company may, in its sole discretion, restrict or prohibit the credit of purchase payments to
any Fixed Account option or any Subaccount from time to time on a nondiscriminatory basis.
Investment OptionsAllocations
Purchase payments can be allocated in whole percentages to any of the available Subaccounts or
Fixed Account options. See the Portfolios section of this prospectus for a listing and description
of the currently available Subaccounts. The currently available Fixed Account options are:
|
|
Fixed Accumulation Account Option |
|
|
|
One-Year Guaranteed Interest Rate Option |
|
|
|
Three-Year Guaranteed Interest Rate Option |
|
|
|
Five-Year Guaranteed Interest Rate Option |

|
|
|
Allocations to either Five-Year Guaranteed
Interest Rate Option or Seven-Year Guaranteed
Interest Rate Option
|
|
For Contracts issued after May 1,
2004 for states where the Company
has received regulatory approval,
amounts may be allocated to the
Five-Year Guaranteed Interest Rate
Option and the Seven-Year
Guaranteed Interest Rate Option
only during the first contract
year. |
|
|
|
Allocation during right to cancel period
|
|
No current restrictions, but the
Company reserves the right to
require that purchase payment(s)
be allocated to the money market
Subaccount or to the Fixed
Accumulation Account option during
the right to cancel period. |
Interests in the Fixed Account options are not securities and are registered with the SEC. Amounts
allocated to the Fixed Account options will receive interest at a rate no less than the minimum
interest rate permitted under the law of the state when and where the Contract is issued. The
interest rate credited to each purchase payment allocated to the Fixed Accumulation Account will
not be changed for at least 12 months after its allocation. The interest rate credited to an amount
that is held under a Fixed Account guaranteed interest rate option will not be changed with the end
of the guarantee period. The guarantee period is measured from the date that the amount is
allocated or transferred to that option. Interest on amounts allocated to the Fixed Account options
is earned daily. Amounts allocated to the Fixed Account options and interest credited to the Fixed
Account options are guaranteed by the Company. Your Contract contains more information about the
Fixed Account options, including information about how and when interest rates are determined and
changed and how and when interest is credited to amounts allocated to the Fixed Account options.
Interests in the Subaccounts are securities registered with the SEC. The Owner bears the risk of
investment gain or loss on amounts allocated to the Subaccounts.
The Company may, in its sole discretion, restrict, delay or prohibit allocations to any Fixed
Account option or any Subaccount from time to time on a nondiscriminatory basis.
Principal Guarantee Program
An Owner may elect to have the Company allocate a portion of a purchase payment to the seven-year
guaranteed interest rate option such that, at the end of the seven-year guarantee period, that
account will grow to an amount equal to the total purchase payment (so long as there are no
surrenders or loans from the Contract). The Company determines the portion of the purchase payment
that must be allocated to the seven-year guarantee option such that, based on the interest rate
then in effect, that account will grow to equal the full amount of the purchase payment after seven
years. The remainder of the purchase payment will be allocated according to the Owners
instructions. The minimum purchase payment eligible for the principal guarantee program is $5,000.
The Principal Guarantee Program is only available during the first Contract year.
Renewal of Fixed Account Guarantee Options
An amount allocated or transferred to a Fixed Account guarantee interest rate option will mature at
the end of the guarantee period. The Company will notify you of the date on which the amount
matures and the Fixed Account options available at that time. When an amount matures, the Owner may
elect to transfer it to any of the investment options then available under the Contract. Such an
election must be made within the 30-day period ending on the date the amount matures. If the Owner
does not transfer the amount, then it will be applied to a new guarantee period under the same
Fixed Account guaranteed interest rate option, if available. The interest rate for the new
guarantee period will be the
then current rate for that option. If that option is not available, the amount will be allocated to
the Fixed Accumulation Account option. Such a transfer or renewal will be effective on the day
after the amount matures.
18
Transfers
If allowed by the Company, in its sole discretion, during the Accumulation Period, an Owner
may transfer amounts among Subaccounts, among Fixed Account options, and/or between Subaccounts and
Fixed Account options by written request once each Valuation Period.

Interest Rate Option or Seven-Year
Guaranteed Interest Rate Option
|
|
For Contracts issued after May 1, 2004 for states where
the Company has received regulatory approval, amounts may
be transferred to the Five-Year Guaranteed Interest Rate
Option and the Seven-Year Guaranteed Interest Rate Option
only during the first contract year. |
|
|

Transfers from Fixed Account options
|
|
May not be made prior to first contract
anniversary. |
|
|
Amounts transferred from Fixed Account options to
Subaccounts may not be transferred back to Fixed Account
options for a period of 6 months from the date of the
original transfer. |
A transfer is effective on the Valuation Date during which the Company receives the request for
transfer. Transfers to a Subaccount will be processed at the next Accumulation Unit Value
calculated after the Company receives the transfer request in good order. The Company may, in its
sole discretion, restrict, or prohibit transfers to any Fixed Account option or any Subaccount from
time to time on a nondiscriminatory basis.
19
Automatic Transfer Programs
During the Accumulation Period, the Company offers the automatic transfer services described below.
To enroll in one of these programs, you will need to complete the appropriate authorization form,
which you can obtain from the Company by calling 1-800-789-6771. There are risks involved in
switching between investments available under the Contract.
Currently, the transfer fee does not apply to dollar cost averaging, portfolio rebalancing, or
interest sweep transfers, and transfers under these programs will not count toward the twelve
transfers permitted under the Contract without a transfer fee charge.

Interest sweep transfers
will take place on the last
Valuation Date of each
calendar quarter. Interest
sweep is not available from
the Seven-Year Guaranteed

Principal Guarantee Program
is selected. |
20
Telephone, Facsimile or Internet Transfers
Currently, instead of placing a request in writing, an Owner may place a request for all or part of
the Account Value to be transferred by telephone, facsimile or over the Internet. All transfers
must be in accordance with the terms of the Contract. Transfer instructions are currently accepted
once each Valuation Period. Transfer instructions currently may be placed by telephone at
1-800-789-6771, or via facsimile at 513-412-3766, or over the Internet through the Companys web
site at www.gafri.com, between 9:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Once instructions have been accepted, they
may not be rescinded; however, new instructions may be given the following Valuation Period. Access
to these alternate methods of placing transfer requests, particularly through the Companys web
site, may be limited or unavailable during periods of peak demand, system upgrading and
maintenance, or for other reasons. The Company may withdraw the right to make transfers by
telephone, facsimile or over the Internet upon 10 days written notice to affected Contract Owners.
The Company will not be liable for complying with transfer instructions that the Company reasonably
believes to be genuine, or for any loss, damage, cost or expense in acting on such instructions. In
addition, the Company will not be liable for refusing to comply with transfer instructions that the
Company reasonably believes are not genuine, or for any loss, damage, cost or expense for failing
to act on such instructions. The Owner or person with the right to control payments will bear the
risk of such loss. The Company will employ reasonable procedures to determine that telephone,
facsimile or Internet instructions are genuine. If the Company does not employ such procedures, the
Company may be liable for losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions. These procedures
may include, among others, tape recording telephone instructions or requiring use of a unique
password or other identifying information.
Changes in or Termination of Automatic Transfer Programs
The Owner may terminate any of the automatic transfer programs at any time, but must give the
Company at least 30 days notice to change any automatic transfer instructions that are already in
place. Termination and change instructions will be accepted by U.S. or overnight mail, or by
facsimile at 513-412-3766. The Company may terminate, suspend or modify any aspect of the transfer
programs described above without prior notice to Owners, as permitted by applicable law. Any such
termination, suspension or modification will not affect automatic transfer programs already in
place.
The Company may also impose an annual fee or increase the current annual fee, as applicable, for
any of the foregoing automatic transfer programs in such amount(s) as the Company may then
determine to be reasonable for participation in the service. The maximum amount of the annual fee
that would be imposed for participating in each automatic transfer program is $30.
Transfer Restrictions Related to Active Trading Strategies
Neither the Contracts described in this prospectus nor the underlying Portfolios are designed
to support active trading strategies that involve frequent movement between or among Subaccounts
(sometimes referred to as market-timing or short-term trading). Persons who intend to use an
active trading strategy should consult a financial advisor and request information on variable
annuity contracts that offer underlying Portfolios designed specifically to support active trading
strategies.
We have implemented several processes and/or restrictions aimed at eliminating the negative impact
of active trading strategies. Appendix C to this prospectus contains more information about these
processes and restrictions.

first-in, first-out basis (CDSC may apply) |
Benefit payments under the Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Rider or the Guaranteed Minimum
Withdrawal Benefit Rider are exempt from the $500 minimums described in the table above.
A surrender will terminate the Contract. Withdrawals are taken proportionally from all Subaccounts
and Fixed Account options in which the Contract is invested on the date the Company receives the
request, unless the Owner requests that the withdrawal be from a specific investment option.
A surrender or withdrawal is effective on the Valuation Date during which the Company receives the
request, and will be processed at the next Accumulation Unit Value calculated after the Company
receives the request in good order. Payment of the amount surrendered or withdrawn may be delayed
if it includes an amount paid to the Company by a check that has not yet cleared. Processing and
payment of the amount surrendered or withdrawn from a Fixed Account option may be delayed for up to
six months after receipt of the request for surrender or withdrawals as allowed by state law. If
the Company delays processing and payment, it will comply with the applicable state law. Payment of
the amount surrendered or withdrawn from the Subaccounts may be delayed during any period the New
York Stock Exchange is closed or trading is restricted, or when the SEC either: (1) determines that
there is an emergency which prevents valuation or disposal of securities held in the Separate
Account; or (2) permits a delay in payment for the protection of security holders.
Free Withdrawal Privilege
The Company will waive the CDSC on a full or partial withdrawal during the first contract year, on
an amount equal to not more than 10% of all purchase payments received. During the second and
succeeding contract years, the Company will waive the CDSC on an amount equal to not more than the
greater of: (a) accumulated earnings (Account Value in excess of purchase payments); or (b) 10% of
the Account Value as of the last contract anniversary.
If the free withdrawal privilege is not exercised during a contract year, it does not carry over to
the next contract year. The free withdrawal privilege may not be available under some group
Contracts.
22
Long-Term Care Waiver Rider
If a Contract is modified by the Long-Term Care Waiver Rider, a surrender or withdrawal may be made
free of any CDSC if the Owner has been confined in a qualifying licensed hospital or long-term care
facility for at least 90 days beginning on or after the first contract anniversary. There is no
charge for this rider, but it may not be available in all states.
Systematic Withdrawal
During the Accumulation Period, an Owner may elect to automatically withdraw money from the
Contract. The Account Value must be at least $10,000 in order to make a systematic withdrawal
election. The minimum monthly amount that can be withdrawn is $100. Systematic withdrawals will be
subject to the CDSC to the extent the amount withdrawn exceeds the free withdrawal privilege. The
Owner may begin or discontinue systematic withdrawals at any time by request to the Company, but at
least 30 days notice must be given to change any systematic withdrawal instructions that are
currently in place. The Company reserves the right to discontinue offering systematic withdrawals
at any time. Currently, the Company does not charge a fee for systematic withdrawal services.
However, the Company reserves the right to impose an annual fee in such amount as the Company may
then determine to be reasonable for participation in the systematic withdrawal program. If imposed,
the fee will not exceed $30 annually.
Before electing a systematic withdrawal program, you should consult with a financial advisor.
Systematic withdrawal is similar to annuitization, but will result in different taxation of
payments and potentially different amount of total payments over the life of the Contract than if
annuitization were elected.

Introduction
We offer a Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit through a rider (the Rider) to this Contract.
If you choose to activate the Rider, it will provide a lifetime withdrawal Benefit, up to a certain
amount each Benefit Year, even after the Contract value is zero. The Insured must be at least 55
years old on the Benefit Start Date to receive a Benefit under the Rider.
You cannot activate the Rider if the Contract is a tax-qualified contract and, on the Rider
Effective Date, you will be 81 years old or older (or the Annuitant will be 81 years old or older
if the Contract is owned by a plan sponsor or trustee). You cannot activate the Rider if the
Contract is a non-tax-qualified contract and, on the Rider Effective Date, you or the joint owner,
if any, will be 86 years old or older (or the Annuitant will be 86 years old or older if you or a
joint owner is not a human being). You cannot activate the Rider if the Guaranteed Minimum
Withdrawal Benefit Rider is in effect. You cannot activate the Rider if in the future we are no
longer issuing the Rider with any new annuity contracts and we prohibit further activations on a
nondiscriminatory basis. We will notify you if we take this action.
Once the Rider is activated, you may not participate in the dollar cost averaging program otherwise
available under the Contract.
Ø |
|
The Rider may not available in all states and may not be available with Contracts issued
before September 7, 2007. If your Contract was issued in connection with an employer plan,
the availability of the Rider may be restricted. For additional information about the
availability of the Rider, contact us at our Administrative Office, P.O. Box 5423, Cincinnati
OH 45201-5423, 1-800-789-6771. |

Rider Charge
In exchange for the ability to receive Benefits for life, we will assess an annual charge not to
exceed 1.20% of the current Benefit Base Amount. Currently, the charge is 0.55% of the current
Benefit Base Amount. After the Rider is activated, the charge for your Rider will not change
except under the circumstances described in Reset Opportunities below.
We will assess the Rider charge on each Rider Anniversary. We will also assess a prorated charge
upon surrender of the Contract or termination of the Rider. We will take the Rider charge by
withdrawing amounts proportionally from each Designated Subaccount (as discussed below) to which
you have allocated your Account Value at the time the charge is taken.
Designated Subaccounts
Before the Rider Effective Date, you must transfer your Account Value to one or more Designated
Subaccount(s) that you select. The required transfers must be made by Written Request. If you do
not make the required transfers, we will reject your request to activate the Rider.
The Designated Subaccounts are listed below.
Ibbotson Balanced ETF Asset Allocation Portfolio-Class II
Ibbotson Conservative ETF Asset Allocation Portfolio-Class II
Ibbotson Growth ETF Asset Allocation Portfolio-Class II
Ibbotson Income and Growth ETF Asset Allocation Portfolio-Class II
Ø |
|
Additional information about the Designated Subaccounts is located in The Portfolios
section and Appendix B of this prospectus. |
Following the Rider Effective Date, you may reallocate your Account Value among the Designated
Subaccounts in accordance with the Transfer provisions of the Contract.
Impact of the Rider on the Contract
Following the Rider Effective Date, we may decline to accept Purchase Payments to the Contract in
excess of $50,000 per Contract Year. Before or after the Rider Effective Date, we may decline to
accept any additional Purchase Payments to the Contract if we are no longer issuing annuity
contracts with the Rider unless you decline or terminate the Rider. In this case, we will notify
you that you must decline or terminate the Rider before we will accept any additional Purchase
Payments to the Contract. If the Contract allows loans, all rights under the Rider will terminate
if you fail to pay off all loans by the Benefit Start Date, and no new loans may be taken after the
Benefit Start Date.
Benefit Base Amount Before the Benefit Start Date
The amount of the Benefit payments that will be available to you under the Rider depends on the
Benefit Base Amount.
On or before the Benefit Start Date, the Benefit Base Amount will equal the greater of your Rollup
Base Amount or your Reset Base Amount, if any.
Rollup Base Amount
Your Rollup Base Amount starts with your Account Value as of the Rider Effective Date. To this we
add the amount of any Purchase Payments made since the Rider Effective Date. At the end of each of
the first five Rider Years, as long as you have not taken an Excess Withdrawal, we also add a
simple interest credit. Each interest credit is calculated as 5% of the Account Value on the Rider
Effective Date, plus Purchase Payments received since the Rider Effective Date, and minus the Fixed
Account value, if any, at the end of the Rider Year. There is no compounding. The interest credit
for a Purchase Payment received during the Rider Year will be prorated. No further interest credit
will be made after there has been a withdrawal from the Contract after the Rider Effective Date
other than to pay Rider charges. If an Excess Withdrawal is taken, the Rollup Base Amount will be
reduced by the same percentage as the percentage reduction in your Account Value.
25
Reset Base Amount
The Reset Base Amount starts with the Account Value of the Contract on the most recent Rider
Anniversary for which you elect to reset, as described under Reset Opportunities below. If an
Excess Withdrawal is taken, the Reset Base Amount is reduced by the same percentage as the
percentage reduction in your Account Value.
Examples of Benefit Base Amount Calculation
These examples are intended to help you understand how the Base Benefit Amount is calculated. They assume that:
|
|
you make the Purchase Payments shown, |
|
|
gains, losses, and charges cause your Account Value to vary as shown, |
|
|
you take no withdrawals except as shown, and |
|
|
you elect to reset on each Rider Anniversary on which your Account Value has increased over the prior year. |
To calculate the Benefit Base Amount in the example, compare the Reset Base Amount (column 4) and
the Rollup Base Amount (column 6) on each Rider Anniversary. The Benefit Base Amount is the
greater of these two amounts.

The Account Values assumed in these examples are for illustration purposes only, and are not
intended to predict the performance of any particular Subaccounts or Fixed Account options.
When a reset is elected, the Reset Base Amount prevents the Benefit Base Amount from falling when
the Account Value falls due to investment losses. In these examples, on the 8th Rider
Anniversary, the Reset Base Amount prevents a drop in the Benefit Base Amount even though the
Account Value has fallen. It also prevents a drop in the Benefit Base Amount on the 5th
Rider Anniversary but, in the first example, the Rollup Base Amount gave an even better result.
26
The Rollup Base Amount ensures that the Benefit Base Amount will grow by a minimum factor over the
first five years. In the first example, on the 2nd, 5th, and 6th
Rider Anniversaries, the Rollup Base Amount has grown by more than the cumulative growth in the
Account Value and results in a Benefit Base Amount that is greater than the Account Value. In the
second example, the Rollup Base Amount was beneficial on the 2nd Rider Anniversary, but
Rollup Amounts stopped because of the withdrawal on the 3rd Rider Anniversary.
See the paragraphs labeled Rollup Base Amount and Reset Base Amount for a description of the manner
in which we determine these amounts.
Lifetime Withdrawals
Anytime after the Rider Effective Date, you may begin taking the lifetime withdrawal Benefit if the
Insured is at least 55 years old.
On the Benefit Start Date, the Benefit Base Amount is set and will not change unless you take an
Excess Withdrawal. Unless a Spousal Benefit is in effect, the Benefit Percentage is determined
based on the age of the Insured (who is typically you) on the Benefit Start Date as set out below.

On the Benefit Start Date and each anniversary of the Benefit Start Date, the Benefit Base Amount
will be multiplied by the Benefit Percentage to determine the Benefit amount for the following
Benefit Year. Generally, the Benefit amount is the maximum amount that can be withdrawn from the
Contract before the next anniversary of the Benefit Start Date without reducing the Benefit Base
Amount. The ability to take a withdrawal Benefit will continue until the earlier of your death,
annuitization, or any other event that terminates the Rider.
At a minimum, the Benefit amount at any point during a Benefit Year will never be less than the
Internal Revenue Code required minimum distribution for the calendar year that ends with or
within the Benefit Year. For this purpose, we will compute the required minimum distribution based
on the values of the Contract without considering any other annuity or tax-qualified account. The
required minimum distribution will be reduced by all prior withdrawals or Benefit payments from the
Contract made in the applicable calendar year. In calculating the required minimum distribution
for this purpose, we may choose to disregard changes in the federal tax law that are made after the
issue date of the Rider shown on the Rider specifications page if such changes would increase the
required minimum distribution. We will notify you if we make this choice. If we choose to
disregard changes in federal tax law that would increase the required minimum distribution, then
you will need to satisfy this increase either from another annuity or tax-qualified account or by
taking an Excess Withdrawal from the Contract.
Although lifetime withdrawals up to the Benefit amount do not reduce the Benefit Base Amount, they
do reduce Contract values, the Death Benefit, and the amount available for annuitization. We will
make lifetime withdrawals proportionally from the Designated Subaccounts as of the date the Benefit
payment is made.
Purchase Payments that we receive after the Benefit Start Date will not increase the Benefit Base
Amount. Excess Withdrawals taken after the Benefit Start Date will cause an adjustment in the
Benefit Base Amount. The Benefit Base Amount is reduced by the same percentage as the percentage
reduction in your Account Value due to the Excess Withdrawal. An Excess Withdrawal that reduces
the Benefit Base Amount below $1,250 will result in termination of the Rider.
27
Example of Impact of Excess Withdrawal on Benefits
This example is intended to help you understand how an Excess Withdrawal impacts the lifetime
withdrawal Benefit.
Assume that, on your Benefit Start Date, your Benefit Base Amount is $125,000, your Benefit
Percentage is 5%, and the required minimum distribution rules do not require a greater Benefit.
These assumptions produce a lifetime withdrawal Benefit of $6,250 ($125,000 x 5% = $6,250) per
Benefit Year.
Now assume that you have not previously taken an Excess Withdrawal, and you have not taken your
Benefit for the current Benefit Year.
Then, when your Account Value is $115,000, you withdraw $20,000 from the Contract, leaving you with
an Account Value of $95,000.

Impact of Rider Benefit Payments and Charges
Withdrawals made from the Contract to pay Benefits or to pay charges for the Rider will be subject
to all of the terms and conditions of the Contract, except as explained below:
|
|
the amount need not meet the minimum amount for a withdrawal that is otherwise required; |
|
|
the amount withdrawn may reduce your Account Value below the minimum amount that is otherwise required; |
|
|
we will not terminate the Contract if the amount withdrawn reduces your Account Value below the minimum amount that is
otherwise required; and |
|
|
the amount withdrawn may completely exhaust your Account Value. |
28
Reset Opportunities
On each Rider Anniversary before the Benefit Start Date and on the Benefit Start Date, you will
have the opportunity to reset the Reset Base Amount equal to your Account Value as of that Rider
Anniversary or the Benefit Start Date, whichever is applicable. If you elect to reset the Reset
Base Amount and the then current charge for new issues of this Rider is higher than the charge that
we are then assessing for your Rider, the reset will trigger an increase in the Rider charge. The
increase in the Rider charge will be effective for the next Rider Year. To make a reset election,
you must send us a Written Request and we must receive the Written Request before the Benefit Start
Date and no later than 30 days after the reset date itself.
Generally it would be to your advantage to elect a reset on (1) any Rider Anniversary when your
Account Value is higher than the Benefit Base Amount on that Rider Anniversary, and (2) on the
Benefit Start Date if your Account Value on the Benefit Start Date is higher than the Benefit Base
Amount on that date. However, if you elect a reset, we may increase the Rider charges to the level
that applies to new Contracts at that time.
At any time before the Benefit Start Date, you may choose to automatically reset the Reset Base
Amount equal to your Account Value, if higher, on each Rider Anniversary. An automatic reset
election must be made by Written Request and will take effect on the next Rider Anniversary. If an
automatic reset triggers an increase in the Rider charge, we will send you a notice of the new
Rider charge and provide you with the opportunity to opt-out of the reset that triggered the
increase. To make an opt-out election, you must send us a Written Request and we must receive the
Written Request no later than 30 days from the date of the notice. An opt-out election will end
your participation in the automatic reset program. You may voluntarily terminate your
participation in the automatic reset program at any time by Written Request.
Spousal Benefit

|
|
Spousal Benefit
|
|
A Benefit available after the death of the Insured for the remaining life of the
Spouse. |
|
ü
|
|
Spouse
|
|
The person who is the spouse of the Insured as of the Rider Effective Date. |
|
|
|
|
A spouse will cease to be considered the Spouse if the marriage of the
Insured and Spouse is terminated by divorce, dissolution, annulment, or for
other cause apart from the death of the Insured.
A new spouse cannot be substituted after the Rider Effective Date. |
For an additional annual charge, you can elect, at the time that you activate the Rider, to add a
Spousal Benefit if the Insured is married on that date.
The Spousal Benefit allows a surviving Spouse to continue to receive, for the duration of his/her
lifetime, a withdrawal Benefit provided the following 4 conditions are satisfied:
|
|
you added the Spousal Benefit at the time that you activated the Rider; |
|
|
the Spouse as of the Rider Effective Date remains the Spouse of the Insured through the death of the Insured; |
|
|
no Death Benefit becomes payable under the Contract; and |
|
|
the Spouse is the sole Beneficiary and elects to become the successor owner of the Contract. |
The Spouses right to a withdrawal Benefit will continue until his/her death or the termination of
the Rider, whichever is first.
If the Spousal Benefit is in effect, the Benefit Percentage is determined based on the age of the
Insured or the age of the Spouse, whichever is less, on the Benefit Start Date as set out below.

Currently, the additional annual charge for the Spousal Benefit is 0.15% of the Benefit Base
Amount. After the Rider including the Spousal Benefit is activated, the annual Rider charge rate
will never exceed 1.20% of the Benefit Base Amount.
If during the life of the Insured the marriage terminates due to divorce, dissolution or annulment,
or death of the Spouse, the Spousal Benefit will end. We will stop the associated Rider charge
when we receive evidence of the termination of the marriage that is satisfactory to us. Once the
Spousal Benefit has ended, it may not be re-elected or added to cover a subsequent spouse.
Impact on Outstanding Loans
As a general rule, you must transfer your Account Value to one or more Designated Subaccounts
before the Rider Effective Date. We will make an exception with respect to collateral for Contract
loans outstanding before the Benefit Start Date. The following table describes the special
transfer rules applicable to collateral for Contract loans.

Introduction
We offer a Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit through a rider (the Rider) to this Contract.
If you choose to activate the Rider, it will provide a minimum withdrawal Benefit, up to a certain
amount each Benefit Year, even after the Contract value is zero.
You cannot activate the Rider if the Contract is a tax-qualified contract and, on the Rider
Effective Date, you will be 81 years old or older (or the Annuitant will be 81 years old or older
if the Contract is owned by a plan sponsor or trustee). You cannot activate the Rider if the
Contract is a non-tax-qualified contract and, on the Rider Effective Date, you or the joint owner,
if any, will be 86 years old or older (or the Annuitant will be 86 years old or older if you or a
joint owner is not a human being). You cannot activate the Rider if the Guaranteed Lifetime
Withdrawal Benefit Rider is in effect. You cannot activate the Rider if in the future we are no
longer issuing the Rider with any new annuity contracts and we prohibit further activations on a
nondiscriminatory basis. We will notify you if we take this action.
Once the Rider is activated, you may not participate in the dollar cost averaging program otherwise
available under the Contract.
Ø |
|
The Rider may not available in all states and may not be available with Contracts issued
before September 7, 2007. If your Contract was issued in connection with an employer plan,
the availability of the Rider may be restricted. For additional information about the
availability of the Rider, contact us at our Administrative Office, P.O. Box 5423, Cincinnati
OH 45201-5423, 1-800-789-6771. |
31
Rider Charge
In exchange for the ability to receive minimum withdrawal Benefits, we will assess an annual charge
not to exceed 1% of the current Benefit Base Amount. Currently, the charge is 0.40% of the current
Benefit Base Amount. After the Rider is activated, the charge for your Rider will not change
except under the circumstances described in Reset Opportunities below.
We will assess the Rider charge on each Rider Anniversary. We will also assess a prorated charge
upon surrender of the Contract or termination of the Rider. We will take the Rider charge by
withdrawing amounts proportionally from each Designated Subaccount (as discussed below) to which
you have allocated your Account Value at the time the charge is taken.
Designated Subaccounts
Before the Rider Effective Date, you must transfer your Account Value to one or more Designated
Subaccount(s) that you select. The required transfers must be made by Written Request. If you do
not make the required transfers, we will reject your request to activate the Rider.
Ø |
|
Please review the explanation of a Written Request in the Definitions section of this
prospectus. |
The Designated Subaccounts are listed below.
Ibbotson Balanced ETF Asset Allocation Portfolio-Class II
Ibbotson Conservative ETF Asset Allocation Portfolio-Class II
Ibbotson Growth ETF Asset Allocation Portfolio-Class II
Ibbotson Income and Growth ETF Asset Allocation Portfolio-Class II
Ø |
|
Additional information about the Designated Subaccounts is located in The Portfolios
section and Appendix B of this prospectus. |
Following the Rider Effective Date, you may reallocate your Account Value among the Designated
Subaccounts in accordance with the Transfer provisions of the Contract.
Impact of the Rider on the Contract
Following the Rider Effective Date, we may decline to accept Purchase Payments to the Contract in
excess of $50,000 per Contract Year. Before or after the Rider Effective Date, we may decline to
accept any additional Purchase Payments to the Contract if we are no longer issuing annuity
contracts with the Rider unless you decline or terminate the Rider. In this case, we will notify
you that you must decline or terminate the Rider before we will accept any additional Purchase
Payments to the Contract. If the Contract allows loans, all rights under the Rider will terminate
if you fail to pay off all loans by the Benefit Start Date, and no new loans may be taken after the
Benefit Start Date.
Benefit Base Amount
The amount of the Benefit payments that will be available to you under the Rider depends on the
Benefit Base Amount.
Unless you elect to reset, the Base Benefit Amount is equal to the Account Value on the Rider
Effective Date, less adjustments for any Excess Withdrawals since the Rider Effective Date. On or
after the most recent Rider Anniversary for which you elect to reset, as described under Reset
Opportunities below, the Benefit Base Amount will be equal to your Account Value as of that Rider
Anniversary, less adjustments for any Excess Withdrawals since that Rider Anniversary.
No reset may be elected after the Benefit Start Date. The Benefit Base Amount is reduced by the
same percentage as the percentage reduction in your Account Value due to the Excess Withdrawal.
Minimum Withdrawals
Anytime after the Rider Effective Date, you may begin taking the minimum withdrawal Benefit.
The Benefit amount that may be withdrawn during each Benefit Year is equal to 5% of the current
Benefit Base Amount.
32
Although withdrawals up to the Benefit amount do not reduce the Benefit Base Amount, they do reduce
the total Benefits that remain to be paid under the Rider. They also reduce Contract values, the
Death Benefit, and the amount available for annuitization. We will make withdrawals proportionally
from the Designated Subaccounts as of the date the Benefit payment is made.
At a minimum, the Benefit amount at any point during a Benefit Year will never be less than the
Internal Revenue Code required minimum distribution for the calendar year that ends with or
within the Benefit Year. For this purpose, we will compute the required minimum distribution based
on the values of the Contract without considering any other annuity or tax-qualified account. The
required minimum distribution will be reduced by all prior withdrawals or Benefit payments from the
Contract made in the applicable calendar year. In calculating the required minimum distribution
for this purpose, we may choose to disregard changes in the federal tax law that are made after the
issue date of the Rider shown on the Rider specifications page if such changes would increase the
required minimum distribution. We will notify you if we make this choice. If we choose to
disregard changes in federal tax law that would increase the required minimum distribution, then
you will need to satisfy this increase either from another annuity or tax-qualified account or by
taking an Excess Withdrawal from the Contract.
Purchase Payments that we receive after the Benefit Start Date will not increase the Benefit Base
Amount. An Excess Withdrawal that reduces the Benefit Base Amount below $1,250 will result in
termination of the Rider.
Duration of Benefits
Your right to take a withdrawal Benefit will continue until the total Benefit payments equal the
current Benefit Base Amount. This is not a fixed period. The right to take a withdrawal Benefit
will end before the total Benefit payments equal the current Benefit Base Amount if you annuitize
the Contract, a death benefit becomes payable under the Contract, or any other event occurs that
terminates the Rider.
Your right to take a withdrawal Benefit will last for 20 years if all of the following conditions
are met: (1) each year you take a withdrawal Benefit exactly equal to 5% of the Benefit Base
Amount, (2) you do not take a withdrawal Benefit of more than 5% of the Benefit Base Amount because
of a required minimum distribution, (3) you take no Excess Withdrawals on or after the Benefit
Start Date, and (4) the Rider does not terminate. If in any year you take a withdrawal Benefit of
less than 5% of the Benefit Base Amount, your right to take a withdrawal Benefit may last for more
than 20 years. If you take a withdrawal Benefit of more then 5% of the Benefit Base Amount because
of a required minimum distribution, or if you take an Excess Withdrawal on or after the Benefit
Start Date, your right to take a withdrawal Benefit may last for fewer than 20 years.
33
Example of Impact of Excess Withdrawal on Benefits
This example is intended to help you understand how an Excess Withdrawal impacts the minimum
withdrawal Benefit.
Assume that, on your Benefit Start Date, your Benefit Base Amount is $125,000, your Benefit
Percentage is 5%, and the required minimum distribution rules do not require a greater Benefit.
These assumptions produce a minimum withdrawal Benefit of $6,250 ($125,000 x 5% = $6,250) per
Benefit Year.
Now assume that, in the first and second Benefit Years, you withdraw the $6,250 Benefit and, in the
third Benefit year when your current Account Value is $115,000, you withdraw $20,000 from the
Contract, leaving you with an Account Value of $95,000.

Impact of Rider Benefit Payments and Charges
Withdrawals made from the Contract to pay Benefits or to pay charges for the Rider will be subject
to all of the terms and conditions of the Contract, except as explained below:
|
|
the amount need not meet the minimum amount for a withdrawal that is otherwise required; |
|
|
the amount withdrawn may reduce your Account Value below the minimum amount that is otherwise required; |
|
|
we will not terminate the Contract if the amount withdrawn reduces your Account Value below the minimum amount that is
otherwise required; and |
|
|
the amount withdrawn may completely exhaust your Account Value. |
34
Reset Opportunities
On each Rider Anniversary before the Benefit Start Date and on the Benefit Start Date, you will
have the opportunity to reset the Benefit Base Amount equal to your Account Value as of that Rider
Anniversary or the Benefit Start Date, whichever is applicable. If you elect to reset the Benefit
Base Amount and the then current charge for new issues of this Rider is higher than the charge that
we are then assessing for your Rider, the reset will trigger an increase in the Rider charge. The
increase in the Rider charge will be effective for the next Rider Year. To make a reset election,
you must send us a Written Request and we must receive the Written Request before the Benefit Start
Date and no later than 30 days after the reset date itself.
Generally it would be to your advantage to elect a reset on (1) any Rider Anniversary when your
Account Value is higher than the Benefit Base Amount on that Rider Anniversary, and (2) on the
Benefit Start Date if your Account Value on the Benefit Start Date is higher than the Benefit Base
Amount on that date. However, if you elect a reset, we may increase the Rider charges to the level
that applies to new Contracts at that time.
At any time before the Benefit Start Date, you may choose to automatically reset the Benefit Base
Amount equal to your Account Value, if higher, on each Rider Anniversary. An automatic reset
election must be made by Written Request and will take effect on the next Rider Anniversary. If an
automatic reset triggers an increase in the Rider charge, we will send you a notice of the new
Rider charge and provide you with the opportunity to opt-out of the reset that triggered the
increase. To make an opt-out election, you must send us a Written Request and we must receive the
Written Request no later than 30 days from the date of the notice. An opt-out election will end
your participation in the automatic reset program. You may voluntarily terminate your
participation in the automatic reset program at any time by Written Request.
Impact on Outstanding Loans
As a general rule, you must transfer your Account Value to one or more Designated Subaccounts
before the Rider Effective Date. We will make an exception with respect to collateral for Contract
loans outstanding before the Benefit Start Date. The following table describes the special
transfer rules applicable to collateral for Contract loans.
|

Time/Period |

Transfer Rule |
|
At the time of activation
|
|
You are not required to transfer
the portion of your Fixed Account
value that is then needed as
collateral for a Contract loan. |
|
|
|
From time to time after activation and
before the Benefit Start Date
|
|
We may require you to transfer
the portion of your Fixed Account
value that is no longer needed as
collateral for a Contract loan.
You must make this transfer
within 30 days of our written
notice to you of this
requirement, or all rights under
this Rider will terminate. |
|
|
|
On or before the Benefit Start Date
|
|
You must pay off the Contract
loan and transfer the portion of
your Fixed Account value that is
no longer needed as collateral.
If you do not pay off the
Contract loan and make the
required transfer, all rights
under the Rider will terminate. |
Termination of the Rider
All rights under the Rider will terminate at the time indicated if any of the following events occurs:
|
|
upon your Written Request to decline or terminate the Rider; |
|
|
upon a failure to transfer funds to a Designated Subaccount before the Rider Effective Date; |
|
|
upon a transfer of funds within the Contract after the Rider Effective Date to an investment
option that is not a Designated Subaccount, except to the limited extent required for
collateral for a loan; |
|
|
upon an Excess Withdrawal from the Contract that reduces the Benefit Base Amount below $1,250; |
|
|
upon the surrender or annuitization of the Contract; |
|
|
upon a death that would give rise to a Death Benefit under the Contract, unless the Spouse is
the sole Beneficiary and elects to become the successor owner of the Contract; |
|
|
upon the death of the Insured before the Benefit Start Date; or |
|
|
upon the complete payment of all Benefits under the Rider. |
35
Declining the Rider
You may decline the Rider at any time by Written Request.
Additional Information about Written Requests
Written Requests must be received by us at our Administrative Office. The address of our
Administrative Office is P.O. Box 5423, Cincinnati, Ohio 45201-5423. A Written Request may, at our
discretion, be made by telephone or electronic means.
We will treat a Written Request as a standing order. It may be modified or revoked only by a
subsequent Written Request, when permitted by the terms of the Contract. A Written Request is
subject to (1) any payment that we make before we acknowledge the Written Request and (2) any other
action that we take before we acknowledge the Written Request.
Contract Loans
The Company may make loans to Owners of certain tax-qualified Contracts. The Company will
charge interest on these loans. The maximum rate of interest that the Company will charge will be
8% or such other higher rate than may be required by the plan administrator or an employer
retirement plan that controls the Contract. Any such loans will be secured with an interest in the
Contract, and the collateral for the loan will be moved from the Subaccounts you designate to the
Fixed Accumulation Account option and earn a fixed rate of interest applicable to loan collateral.
The minimum rate of interest that the Company will credit to loan collateral is 1% or any higher
Fixed Account guaranteed interest rate stated in your Contract. The difference between the amount
of interest the Company charges on a loan and the amount of interest the Company credits to loan
collateral is called the loan interest spread. The current loan interest spread is 3%.
Loan amounts and repayment requirements are subject to provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, and
default on a loan will result in a taxable event. You should consult a tax advisor prior to
exercising loan privileges. If loans are available under a Contract, loan provisions are described
in the loan endorsement to the Contract.
A loan, whether or not repaid, will have a permanent effect on the Account Value of a Contract
because the collateral cannot be allocated to the Subaccounts or Fixed Account guarantee periods.
The longer the loan is outstanding, the greater the effect is likely to be. The effect could be
favorable or unfavorable. If the investment results are greater than the rate being credited on
collateral while the loan is outstanding, the Account Value will not increase as rapidly as it
would if no loan were outstanding. If investment results are below that rate, the Account Value
will be higher than it would have been if no loan had been outstanding.
Termination
The Company reserves the right to terminate any Contract at any time during the Accumulation
Period if the Surrender Value is less than $500. In that case, the Contract will be involuntarily
surrendered and the Company will pay the Owner the amount that would be due the Owner on a full
surrender. The Company will not terminate a Contract if Benefit payments under the Guaranteed
Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Rider or the Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Rider reduce the
Account Value below $500. A group Contract may be terminated on 60 days advance notice, in which
case participants will be entitled to continue their interests on a deferred, paid-up basis,
subject to the Companys involuntary surrender right as described above.
36
Reports and Confirmations
At least once each Contract Year, we will mail reports of the Contracts Account Value and any
other information required by law to you. We will not send these reports after the Commencement
Date or a full surrender of the Contract, whichever is first.
We will confirm receipt of any Purchase Payments made after the initial Purchase Payment in
quarterly statements of account activity.
Householding Revocation of Consent
Owners at a shared address who have consented to receive only one copy of each prospectus,
annual report, or other required document per household (householding) may revoke their consent
at any time, and may receive separate documents, by contacting the Company at 1-800-789-6771 or
www.gafri.com.
Owners who are currently receiving multiple copies of required documents may contact the Company at
1-800-789-6771 or www.gafri.com for additional information about householding.
Electronic Delivery of Required Documents
Owners who wish to receive prospectuses, SAIs, annual reports, and other required documents
only in electronic form must give their consent. Consent may be revoked at any time. Please contact
the Company at 1-800-789-6771 or www.gafri.com for additional information about electronic delivery
of documents.
Legal Proceedings
The Company and Great American Advisors®, Inc. are
involved in various kinds of
routine litigation which, in managements judgment, are not of material importance to their assets
or the Separate Account. There are no pending legal proceedings against the Separate Account.
Voting Rights
To the extent required by law, all Portfolio shares held in the Separate Account will be voted
by the Company at regular and special shareholder meetings of the respective Portfolios in
accordance with instructions received from persons having voting interests in the corresponding
Subaccount. During the Accumulation Period, the Company will vote Portfolio shares according to
instructions of Owners, unless the Company is permitted to vote shares in its own right.
The number of votes that an Owner may vote will be calculated separately for each Subaccount. The
number will be determined by applying the Owners percentage interest, if any, in a particular
Subaccount to the total number of votes attributable to that Subaccount.
The Owners percentage interest and the total number of votes will be determined as of the record
date established by that Portfolio for voting purposes. Voting instructions will be solicited by
written communication in accordance with procedures established by the respective Portfolios.
The Company will vote or abstain from voting shares for which it receives no timely instructions
and shares it holds as to which Owners have no beneficial interest (including shares held by the
Company as reserves for benefit payments*). The Company will vote or abstain from voting such
shares in proportion to the voting instructions it receives from Owners of all Contracts
participating in the Subaccount. Because the Company will use this proportional method of voting,
a small number of Owners may determine the manner in which the Company will vote Portfolio shares
for which it solicits voting instructions but receives no timely instructions.
Each person or entity having a voting interest in a Subaccount will receive proxy material, reports
and other material relating to the appropriate Portfolio. The Portfolios are not required to hold
annual or other regular meetings of shareholders.
|
|
|
* |
|
Neither the Owner nor Payee has any interest in the Separate Account during the Benefit
Payment Period. Benefit Units are merely a measure of the amount of the payment the Company is
obligated to pay on each payment date. |
37
Annuity Benefit
An Owner may designate the date that annuity payments will begin, and may change the date up
to 30 days before annuity payments are scheduled to begin. Unless the Company agrees otherwise, the
first day of a Benefit Payment Period in which annuity payments are paid cannot be later than
Annuity Commencement Date.
The amount applied to a settlement option will be the Account Value as of the end of the Valuation
Period immediately preceding the first day of the Benefit Payment Period. The Owner may select any
form of settlement option which is currently available. The standard forms of settlement options
are described in the Settlement Options section of this prospectus.
If the Owner has not previously made an election as to the form of settlement option, the Company
will contact the Owner to ascertain the form of settlement option to be paid. If the Owner does not
select a settlement option, such as a specific fixed dollar benefit payment, a variable dollar
benefit payment, or a combination of a variable and fixed dollar benefit payment, the Company will
apply the Account Value (or Surrender Value) to a fixed dollar benefit for the life of the
Annuitant with 120 monthly payments assured, as described in the Settlement Options section of this
prospectus.
38
Death Benefit
A death benefit will be paid under a Contract if the Owner dies during the Accumulation
Period. If a surviving spouse becomes a Successor Owner of the Contract, the death benefit will be
paid on the death of the Successor Owner if he or she dies during the Accumulation Period.
Death Benefit payments shall be made to the Beneficiary as payee. In lieu of that, after the death
of the Owner, a Beneficiary which is a non-natural person may elect to have Death Benefit payments
made to a payee to whom the Beneficiary is obligated to make corresponding payments of a death
benefit. Any such election by a non-natural person as Beneficiary shall be by Written Request, and
may be made or changed at any time.
The Beneficiary will be the person on whose life any Death Benefit payments under a settlement
option are based. However, if the Beneficiary is a non-natural person, then any payments under a
life option will be based on the life of a person to whom the Beneficiary is obligated, who must be
designated by the Beneficiary by Written Request before the Death Benefit Commencement Date.
In any event, if the Beneficiary is a non-natural person, any Death Benefit amounts remaining
payable on the death of the payee will be paid to any contingent payee designated by the
Beneficiary by Written Request, or if none is surviving at the time payment is to be made, then to
the Beneficiary.
Death Benefit Amount
The determination of the Death Benefit Amount depends on the form of Contract in effect in your
state of residence when the Contract was issued. For example, in 2000 and again in 2003, the
Company sought approval from the various states for an endorsement with revised provisions
concerning the determination of the Death Benefit Amount (the 2000 Death Benefit Endorsement and
2003 Death Benefit Endorsement, respectively). Please contact the Company if you have questions
as to how to determine the Death Benefit Amount under your Contract.
Death Benefit Amount (Version 1)
This Version 1 of the Death Benefit Amount applies to:
1) |
|
all Group and Individual Contracts issued in any state after May 1, 2006 (except for
Minnesota for Group and Individual Contracts until the 2003 Death Benefit Endorsement is
approved for that Contract in that state); and |
2) |
|
all Group and Individual Contracts issued prior to May 1, 2006 but after the 2003 Death
Benefit Endorsement was approved in the state where the Contract was issued. |
The Death Benefit will equal the greatest of:
1) |
|
the Account Value on the Death Benefit Valuation Date; or |
|
2) |
|
the total of all your purchase payments, reduced proportionally for partial surrenders; or |
|
3) |
|
the Historic High Value. |
The Historic High Value is equal to the lesser of (a) 200% of the total purchase payments, reduced
proportionally for withdrawals and (b) the High Value, reduced proportionally for withdrawals taken
after the High Value was reached. The High Value is the largest Account Value on the fifth or any
subsequent Contract Anniversary, but before the Death Benefit Valuation Date and prior to Age 65.
If the Contract was issued after the Owners 60th birthday, there is no High Value. If the Death
Benefit Valuation Date is before the fifth Contract anniversary, then there is no High Value. If
there is no High Value then there is no Historic High Value.

The Death Benefit Amount will be reduced by any premium tax or other tax that is applicable. It
will also be reduced by any outstanding loans. The reduction for withdrawals will be the same
percentage as the percentage reduction in the Account Value. The Death Benefit Amount will be
allocated among the Subaccounts and Fixed Account options. This allocation will occur as of the
Death Benefit Valuation Date. It will be made in the same proportion as the value of each option
bears to the total account value immediately before that date.
An Owner may elect the form of payment of the death benefit at any time before his or her death.
The form of payment may be a lump sum, or any available form of settlement option. The standard
forms of settlement options are described in the Settlement Options section of this prospectus.
There is no additional change associated with the form of Death Benefit election. If the Owner does
not make an election as to the form of death benefit, the Beneficiary may make an election within
one year after the Owners death. If no election as to the form of settlement option is made, the
Company will apply the death benefit to a fixed dollar benefit for a period certain of 48 months.
The first day of the Benefit Payment Period in which a death benefit is paid may not be more than
one year after the Owners death; the day a death benefit is paid in a lump sum may not be more
than five years after the Owners date of death.
Death Benefit Amount (Version 2)
This Version 2 of the Death Benefit Amount applies to:
1) |
|
all Individual Contracts issued in Minnesota after the 2000 Death Benefit Endorsement was
approved but before the 2003 Death Benefit Endorsement was approved; and |
2) |
|
all Individual Contracts issued in any state (except Oregon, South Carolina or Washington)
after the 2000 Death Benefit Endorsement was approved, but before the 2003 Death Benefit
Endorsement was approved in the state where the Contract was issued. |
The Death Benefit will equal the greatest of:
1) |
|
the Account Value on the Death Benefit Valuation Date; or |
|
2) |
|
the Minimum Death Benefit; or |
|
3) |
|
the Historic High Value; |
The Minimum Death Benefit is equal to total purchase payments, reduced proportionally for
withdrawals, and increased by interest, if any. This reduction will be in the same proportion that
the Account Value was reduced on the date of the withdrawal. If the Owner dies before Age 80,
interest compounds daily, at an effective annual interest rate of 3%, to the Death Benefit
Valuation Date. If the Owner dies on or after his 80th birthday, interest compounds daily, at an
effective annual interest rate of 3%, to the Contract Anniversary prior to the 80th birthday. No
interest will be added if the Owner was Age 80 before this Contract was issued.
The Historic High Value is equal to the High Value, reduced proportionally for withdrawals taken
after the High Value was reached. This reduction will be in the same proportion that the Account
Value was reduced on the date of the withdrawal. The High Value is the largest Account Value on the
fifth or any subsequent Contract Anniversary, but before the Death Benefit Valuation Date and prior
to Age 80. If this Contract was issued after the Owners 75th birthday, there is no High Value.
This means there is no Historic High Value.
The death benefit will be allocated among the Subaccounts and the Fixed Account options. This
allocation will occur as of the Death Benefit Valuation Date. It will be made in the same
proportion as the value of each option bears to the total Account Value immediately before that
date. Any applicable premium tax or other taxes not previously deducted, and any outstanding loans,
will be deducted from the death benefit amount described above.
For all Contracts, the Owner may elect the form of payment of the death benefit at any time before
his or her death. The form of payment may be a lump sum, or any available form of settlement
option. The standard forms of settlement options are described in the Settlement Options section of
this prospectus. There is no additional change associated with the form of Death Benefit election.
If the Owner does not make an election as to the form of death benefit, the Beneficiary may make an
election within one year after the Owners death. If no election as to the form of settlement
option is made, the Company will apply the death benefit to a fixed dollar benefit for a period
certain of 48 months. The first day of the Benefit Payment Period in which a death benefit is paid
may not be more than one year after the Owners death; the day a death benefit is paid in a lump
sum may not be more than five years after the Owners date of death.

Example of Determination of Death Benefit Amount (Version 1 and Version 2)
This example is intended to help you understand how a withdrawal impacts the Death Benefit amount.
Assuming your total Purchase Payments equal $100,000, your Account Value is $90,000, you withdraw
$10,000 from the Contract, and you are left with an Account Value of $80,000.
Step One: Calculate the proportional reduction.

1998 Version
|
|
The Death Benefit will be an amount equal to the greater of
(1) the Account Value as of the Death Benefit Valuation Date
and (2) 100% of the Purchase Payment(s) received by us, less
any amounts returned to you. |
The death benefit amount will be reduced by any applicable premium tax or other taxes not
previously deducted and by any outstanding loans.
Death Benefit Amount (Version 3)
This Version 3 of the Death Benefit Amount applies to:
1) |
|
all Individual Contracts issued in Oregon, South Carolina or Washington before the 2003 Death
Benefit Endorsement was approved in those states; |
2) |
|
all Individual Contracts issued in all other states before the 2000 Death Benefit Endorsement
was approved by those states; and |
3) |
|
all Group Contracts issued in any state before the 2003 Death Benefit Endorsement was
approved in the state where the Contract was issued. |
A death benefit will be paid under a Contract if the Owner dies during the Accumulation Period. If
a surviving spouse becomes a successor Owner of the Contract, the death benefit will be paid on the
death of the successor Owner if he or she dies during the Accumulation Period.
The death benefit will be an amount equal to the largest of the following three amounts:
1) |
|
The Account Value on the Death Benefit Valuation Date |
2) |
|
The total purchase payment(s), with interest at three percent (3%) per year through the Death
Benefit Valuation Date or the Owners 80th birthday if earlier, compounded annually, less any
partial surrenders and any contingent deferred sales charges that applied to those amounts |
3) |
|
The largest Account Value on any contract anniversary after the fourth contract anniversary
and prior to the Death Benefit Valuation Date or the Owners 80th birthday if earlier, less
any partial surrenders and any contingent deferred sales charges that applied to those
amounts. |
The death benefit will be allocated among the Subaccounts and the Fixed Account options. This
allocation will occur as of the Death Benefit Valuation Date. It will be made in the same
proportion as the value of each option bears to the total
41
Account Value immediately before that date. Any applicable premium tax or other taxes not
previously deducted, and any outstanding loans, will be deducted from the death benefit amount
described above.
An Owner may elect the form of payment of the death benefit at any time before his or her death.
The form of payment may be a lump sum, or any available form of settlement option. The standard
forms of settlement options are described in the Settlement Options section of this prospectus. If
the Owner does not make an election as to the form of death benefit, the Beneficiary may make an
election within one year after the Owners death. If no election as to the form of settlement
option is made, the Company will apply the death benefit to a fixed dollar benefit for a period
certain of 48 months. The first day of the Benefit Payment Period in which a death benefit is paid
may not be more than one year after the Owners death; the day a death benefit is paid in a lump
sum may not be more than five years after the Owners date of death.
Payment of Benefits
When a Contract is annuitized, or when a death benefit is applied to a settlement option, the
Account Value or the death benefit, as the case may be, the Company promises to pay a stream of
benefit payments for the duration of the settlement option selected. Upon annuitization, the
Account Value is no longer available to the Owner. Benefit payments may be calculated and paid: (1)
as a fixed dollar benefit; (2) as a variable dollar benefit; or (3) as a combination of both. The
stream of payments, whether variable dollar or fixed dollar, is an obligation of the Companys
general account. However, only the amount of fixed dollar benefit payments is guaranteed by the
Company. The Owner (or Payee) bears the risk that any variable dollar benefit payment may be less
than the initial variable dollar benefit payment, or that it may decline to zero, if Benefit Unit
Values for that payment decrease sufficiently. Transfers between a variable dollar benefit and a
fixed dollar benefit are not permitted, but transfers of Benefit Units among Subaccounts are
permitted once each 12 months after a variable dollar benefit has been paid for at least 12 months.
The formulas for transferring Benefit Units among Subaccounts during the Benefit Payment Period are
set forth in the Statement of Additional Information.
42
Settlement Options
The Company will make periodic payments in any form of settlement option that is acceptable to
it at the time of an election. The standard forms of settlement options are described below.
Payments under any settlement option may be in monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual payment
intervals. If the amount of any regular payment under the form of settlement option elected would
be less than $50, an alternative form of settlement option will have to be elected. The Company, in
its discretion, may require benefit payments to be made by direct deposit or wire transfer to the
account of a designated Payee.
The Company may modify minimum amounts, payment intervals and other terms and conditions at any
time without prior notice to Owners. If the Company changes the minimum amounts, the Company may
change any current or future payment amounts and/or payment intervals to conform with the change.
More than one settlement option may be elected if the requirements for each settlement option
elected are satisfied. Once payment begins under a settlement option that is contingent on the life
of a specified person or persons, the settlement option may not be changed or commuted (i.e.,
redeemed at present value). Other settlement options may be commuted as described in the Commuted
Values section of this prospectus.
The dollar amount of benefit payments will vary with the frequency of the payment interval and the
duration of the payments. Generally, each payment in a stream of payments will be lesser in amount
as the frequency of payments increases, or as the length of the payment period increases, because
more payments will be paid. For life contingent settlement options, each payment in the stream of
payments will generally be lesser in amount as the life expectancy of the Annuitant or Beneficiary
increases because more payments are expected to be paid.
Income for a Fixed Period: The Company will make periodic payments for a fixed period of 5 to 30
years. (Payment intervals of 1 to 4 years are available for death benefit settlement options only.)
Life Annuity with Payments for a Fixed Period: The Company will make periodic payments for a fixed
period, or until the death of the person on whose life benefit payments are based if he or she
lives longer than the fixed period.
Joint and One-Half Survivor Annuity: The Company will make periodic payments until the death of the
primary person on whose life benefit payments are based; thereafter, the Company will make one-half
of the periodic payment until the death of the secondary person on whose life benefit payments are
based.
Life Annuity: The Company will make periodic payments until the death of the person on whose life
the benefit payments are based.
For Contracts issued after May 1, 2004, in states where the Company has received regulatory
approval, the Company generally guarantees minimum benefit payment factors based on annuity 2000
mortality tables for blended lives (60% female/40%male) with interest at 1% per year, compounded
annually.
For all other Contracts, the Company guarantees minimum fixed dollar benefit payment factors based
on 1983 annuity mortality tables for individuals or groups, as applicable, with interest at 3% per
year, compounded annually.
43
Considerations in Selecting a Settlement Option and Payment Forms
Periodic payments under a settlement option are affected by various factors, including the length
of the payment period, the life expectancy of the person on whose life benefit payments are based,
the frequency of the payment interval (monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual), and the payment
form selected (fixed dollar or variable dollar).
|
|
Generally, the longer the period over which payments are made or the more frequently the payments are made, the lower
the amount of each payment because more payments will be made. |
|
|
For life contingent settlement options, the longer the life expectancy of the Annuitant or Beneficiary, the lower the
amount of each payment because more payments are expected to be paid. |
|
|
Fixed dollar payments will remain level for the duration of the payment period. |
|
|
The actual amount of each variable dollar payment may vary from payment to payment regardless of the duration of the
payment period. The actual amount of each variable dollar payment will reflect the investment performance of the
Subaccount(s) selected. The daily investment factor and the assumed interest rate also affect the amount by which
variable dollar payments increase or decrease. |
Additional information about fixed dollar payments, variable dollar payments, the daily investment
factor, and the assumed interest rate is included in the Calculation of Benefit Payments and
Glossary of Financial Terms sections of this prospectus.
44
Each Contract is an agreement between the Company and the Owner. Values, benefits and charges
are calculated separately for each Contract. In the case of a group Contract, the agreement is
between the group Owner and the Company. An individual participant under a group Contract will
receive a certificate of participation, which is evidence of the participants interest in the
group Contract. A certificate of participation is not a Contract. Values, benefits and charges are
calculated separately for each certificate issued under a Contract. The description of Contract
provisions in this prospectus applies to the interests of certificate Owners, except where
otherwise noted.
Because the Company is subject to the insurance laws and regulations of all the jurisdictions where
it is licensed to operate, the availability of certain Contract rights and provisions in a given
State may depend on that States approval of the Contracts. Where required by state law or
regulation, the Contracts will be modified accordingly.
Right to Cancel
The Owner of an Individual Contract may cancel it before midnight of the twentieth day
following the date the Owner receives the Contract. For a valid cancellation, the Contract must be
returned to the Company, and written notice of cancellation must be given to the Company, or to the
agent who sold the Contract, by that deadline. If mailed, the return of the Contract or the notice
is effective on the date it is postmarked, with the proper address and with postage paid. If the
Owner cancels the Contract, the Contract will be void and the Company will refund the purchase
payment(s) paid for it, plus or minus any investment gains or losses under the Contract as of the
end of the Valuation Period during which the returned Contract is received by the Company. When
required by state or federal law, the Company will return the purchase payments without any
investment gain or loss, during all or part of the right to cancel period. When required by state
or federal law, the Company will return the Purchase Payments in full, without deducting any fees
or charges, during the right to cancel period. When required by state law, the right to cancel
period may be longer than 20 days. When required by state law, the right to cancel may apply to
group Contracts. During the right to cancel period specified on the first page of the Contract, the
Company reserves the right to allocate all purchase payments to either the Fixed Accumulation
Account or a money market Subaccount, at our discretion. If we exercise this right, we will
allocate the Account Value as of the end of the right to cancel period to the Fixed Account options
and/or to the Subaccounts in the percentages that the Owner instructed.
Persons With Rights Under a Contract
Owner: The Owner is the person with authority to exercise rights and receive benefits under
the Contract (e.g., make allocations among investment options, elect a settlement option, designate
the Annuitant, Beneficiary and Payee). An Owner must ordinarily be a natural person, or a trust or
other legal entity holding a contract for the benefit of a natural person. Ownership of a
non-tax-qualified Contract may be transferred, but transfer may have adverse tax consequences.
Ownership of a tax-qualified Contract may not be transferred. Unless otherwise elected or required
by law, a transfer of Ownership will not automatically cancel a designation of an Annuitant or
Beneficiary or any settlement options election previously made.
Joint Owners: There may be joint Owners of a non-tax-qualified Contract. Joint Owners may each
exercise transfer rights and make purchase payment allocations independently. All other rights must
be exercised by joint action. A surviving joint Owner who is not the spouse of a deceased Owner may
not become a Successor Owner, but will be deemed to be the Beneficiary of the death benefit which
becomes payable on the death of the first Owner to die, regardless of any Beneficiary designation.
Successor Owner: The surviving spouse of a deceased Owner may become a Successor Owner if the
surviving spouse was either the joint Owner or sole surviving Beneficiary under the Contract. In
order for a spouse to become a Successor Owner, the Owner must make an election prior to the
Owners death, or the surviving spouse must make an election within one year of the Owners death.
Annuitant: The Annuitant is the person whose life is the measuring life for life contingent annuity
benefit payments. The Annuitant must be the same person as the Owner under a tax-qualified
Contract. The Owner may designate or change an Annuitant under a non-tax-qualified Contract. Unless
otherwise elected or required by law, a change of Annuitant will not automatically cancel a
designation of a Beneficiary or any settlement option election previously made.
45
Beneficiary: The person entitled to receive the death benefit. The Owner may designate or change
the Beneficiary, except that a surviving joint Owner will be deemed to be the Beneficiary
regardless of any designation. Unless otherwise elected or required by law, a change of Beneficiary
will not automatically cancel a designation of any Annuitant or any settlement option election
previously made. If no Beneficiary is designated, and there is no surviving joint Owner, the
Owners estate will be the Beneficiary. The Beneficiary will be the measuring life for life
contingent death benefit payments.
Payee: Under a tax-qualified Contract, the Owner-Annuitant is the Payee of annuity benefits. Under
a non-tax-qualified Contract, the Owner may designate the Annuitant or the Owner as the Payee of
annuity benefits. Irrevocable naming of a Payee other than the Owner can have adverse tax
consequences. The Beneficiary is the Payee of the death benefit.
Assignee: Under a tax-qualified Contract, assignment is not permitted. The Owner of a
non-tax-qualified Contract may assign most of his/her rights or benefits under a Contract.
Assignment of rights or benefits may have adverse tax consequences.

ANNUITY INVESTORS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY®
The Company is a stock life insurance company incorporated under the laws of the State of Ohio
in 1981. The Company is principally engaged in the sale of variable and fixed annuity policies. The
home office of the Company is located at 525 Vine Street, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202.
The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Great American Life Insurance Company® which
is a wholly owned subsidiary of Great American Financial Resources®, Inc. (GAFRI), a
publicly traded insurance holding company (NYSE: GFR). GAFRI is in turn indirectly controlled by
American Financial Group, Inc., a publicly traded holding company (NYSE: AFG).
The Company may from time to time publish in advertisements, sales literature and reports to Owners
the ratings and other information assigned to it by one or more independent rating organizations
such as A.M. Best Company, Standard & Poors, and Fitch. The purpose of the ratings is to reflect
the financial strength and/or claims-paying ability of the Company. Each year A.M. Best Company
reviews the financial status of thousands of insurers, culminating in the assignment of Bests
Ratings. These ratings reflect A.M. Best Companys opinion of the relative financial strength and
operating performance of an insurance company in comparison to the norms of the life/health
insurance industry. Ratings of the Company do not reflect the investment performance of the
Separate Account or the degree of risk associated with an investment in the Separate Account.
The Company and Great American Advisors®, Inc., the
principal underwriter of the
Contracts, are involved in various kinds of routine litigation that, in managements judgment, are
not of material importance to their assets or the Separate Account. There are no pending legal
proceedings against the Separate Account.
The Separate Account was established by the Company on December 19, 1996, as an insurance
company separate account under the laws of the State of Ohio pursuant to resolution of the
Companys Board of Directors. The Separate Account is registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act as
a unit investment trust. However, the SEC does not supervise the management or the investment
practices or policies of the Separate Account.
The assets of the Separate Account are owned by the Company, but they are held separately from the
other assets of the Company. Under Ohio law, the assets of a separate account are not chargeable
with liabilities incurred in any other business operation of the Company. Income, gains and losses
incurred on the assets in the Separate Account, whether realized or not, are credited to or charged
against the Separate Account, without regard to other income, gains or losses of the Company.
Therefore, the performance of the Separate Account is entirely independent of the investment
performance of the Companys general account assets or any other separate account maintained by the
Company. The assets of the Separate Account will be held for the exclusive benefit of Owners of,
and the persons entitled to payment under, the Contracts offered by this prospectus and all other
contracts issued by the Separate Account. The obligations under the Contracts are obligations of
the Company.
47
DISTRIBUTION OF VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACTS
Great American Advisors®, Inc. (GAA) is the
principal underwriter of the
contracts. Its business address is 525 Vine Street, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202. GAA is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Great American Financial Resources, Inc. and an affiliate of the Company.
The Contracts are sold by insurance agents who are also registered representatives of (1) GAA or
(2) other broker-dealers that have entered into selling agreements with GAA. GAA and the other
broker-dealers are registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and are members of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. All registered representatives who sell the
Contracts are appointed by the Company as insurance agents and are authorized under applicable
state insurance regulations to sell variable annuity contracts.
The Company pays commissions to GAA for promotion and sale of the contracts. GAA retains the
commissions for sales made through its registered representatives, or pays the commissions to other
broker-dealers for sales made through their registered representatives. GAA and the other
broker-dealers pay their registered representatives from their own funds. Commissions paid by the
Company are calculated as a percentage of the purchase payments received for a contract. The
maximum percentage is 8.5% of the purchase payments received from a contract. Commissions paid by
the Company may also be calculated as a percentage of the contract value (sometimes called a trail
commission). Trail commissions are not expected to exceed 1% of the contract value on an annual
basis.
Commissions paid on the Contracts and payments for other services are not charged directly to you
or your Account Value, but are charged indirectly through fees and charges imposed under the
Contracts. If these fees and charges are not sufficient to cover the commissions and other
payments, any deficiency will be made up from our general assets.
We paid the following amounts to GAA for the last three years: $1,757,857 for 2006, $1,995,224 for
2005, and $2,262,019 for 2004. These amounts include compensation related to other contracts
issued through Annuity Investors Variable Account B.
GAA may enter into revenue sharing, shelf space, and other arrangements with broker-dealers under
which GAA pays them additional compensation for services that they provide in connection with the
distribution of the Contracts (such as providing access to their distribution networks, sponsoring
conferences, seminars, sales programs or training programs for registered representatives or other
employees, paying travel expenses incurred in connection with these events, and sponsoring sales
and advertising campaigns related to the Contracts) or additional compensation for administrative
or operational expenses. These arrangements may not be applicable to all firms in the selling
network, the terms of these arrangements may differ between firms, and the compensation payable
under these arrangements may include cash compensation, non-cash compensation, or other benefits.
Compensation paid under these arrangements will not result in any additional direct charge to you.
Compensation under these arrangements may provide an incentive for a selling firm or its registered
representatives to favor the sale of the Contracts over other financial products available in the
marketplace.
A Portfolio may compensate the Company or GAA for the distribution and operational services that
the Company or GAA provides and the costs that it incurs in providing these services. For example,
each business day, we aggregate all purchase, redemption, and transfer requests from Contract
owners with respect to a Portfolio and submit one request to the applicable Portfolio. As a result,
the Portfolio does not incur the expenses related to processing individual requests from Contract
owners. GAA also maintains the distribution network that supports the sale of our variable annuity
products that invest in the Portfolios. Payments from a Portfolio to the Company or GAA for these
services may be made pursuant to (1) the Portfolios Rule 12b-1 plan, in which case the payments
are deducted from the Portfolios assets or (2) service, administration, sub-transfer or similar
agreements between the Company or GAA and the Portfolios investment adviser or its affiliate.

This section provides a general description of federal income tax considerations relating to
the Contracts. The purchase, holding and transfer of a Contract may have federal estate and gift
tax consequences in addition to income tax consequences. Estate and gift taxation is not discussed
in this prospectus or in the Statement of Additional Information. State taxation will vary
depending on the state in which you reside, and is not discussed in this prospectus or in the
Statement of Additional Information.
The tax information provided in the prospectus and Statement of Additional Information is not
intended or written to be used as legal or tax advice. It is written solely to provide information
related to the sale and holding of the Contracts. As a taxpayer, you cannot use it for the purpose
of avoiding penalties that may be imposed under the tax laws. You should seek advice on legal or
tax questions based on your particular circumstances from an independent attorney or tax advisor.
Tax Deferral on Annuities
Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 72 governs taxation of annuities in general. The income
earned on a Contract is generally not included in income until it is withdrawn from the Contract.
In other words, a Contract is a tax-deferred investment. The Contracts must meet certain
requirements in order to qualify for tax-deferred treatment under IRC Section 72. These
requirements are discussed in the Statement of Additional Information. In addition, tax deferral is
not available for a Contract when the Owner is not a natural person unless the Contract is part of
a tax-qualified retirement plan or the Owner is a mere agent for a natural person. For a
nonqualified deferred compensation plan, this rule means that the employer as Owner of the Contract
will generally be taxed currently on any increase in the Account Value, although the plan itself
may provide a tax deferral to the participating employee. For a group nonqualified Contract where
the Owner has no rights over the separate interests, this rule is applied to each participant who
is not a natural person.
Tax-Qualified Retirement Plans
Annuities may also qualify for tax-deferred treatment, or serve as a funding vehicle, under
tax-qualified retirement plans that are governed by other IRC provisions. These provisions include
IRC Sections 401 (pension and profit sharing plans), 403(b) (tax-sheltered annuities), 408 and 408A
(individual retirement annuities), and 457(g) (governmental deferred compensation plans).
Tax-deferral is generally also available under these tax-qualified retirement plans through the use
of a trust or custodial account without the use of an annuity.
The tax law rules governing tax-qualified retirement plans and the treatment of amounts held and
distributed under such plans are complex. If the Contract is to be used in connection with a
tax-qualified retirement plan, including individual retirement annuities (IRAs), you should seek
competent legal and tax advice regarding the suitability of the Contract for the situation involved
and the requirements governing the distribution of benefits.
Contributions to a tax-qualified Contract are typically made with pre-tax dollars, while
contributions to a non-tax-qualified Contract are typically made from after-tax dollars, though
there are exceptions in either case. Tax-qualified Contracts may also be subject to restrictions on
withdrawals that do not apply to non-tax-qualified Contracts. These restrictions may be imposed to
meet the requirements of the IRC or of an employer plan. Following is a brief description of the
types of tax-qualified retirement plans for which the Contracts are available.
Individual Retirement Annuities
IRC Sections 219 and 408 permit individuals or their employers to contribute to an individual
retirement arrangement known as an Individual Retirement Annuity or IRA. Under applicable
limitations, an individual may claim a tax deduction for certain contributions to an IRA.
Contributions made to an IRA for an employee under a Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) Plan or
Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees (SIMPLE) established by an employer will not be
includable in the gross income of the employee until the employee receives distributions from the
IRA. Distributions from an IRA are taxable to the extent that they represent contributions for
which a tax deduction was claimed, contributions made under a SEP plan or SIMPLE, or income earned
on the Contract.
49
Roth IRAs
IRC Section 408A permits certain individuals to contribute to a Roth IRA. Contributions to a Roth
IRA are not tax deductible. Tax-free distributions of contributions may be made at any time.
Distributions of earnings are tax-free following the five-year period beginning with the first year
for which a Roth IRA contribution was made if the Owner has attained age 59 1/2, become disabled,
or died, or for qualified first-time homebuyer expenses.
Tax-Sheltered Annuities
IRC 403(b) of the Code permits contributions to a tax-sheltered annuity or TSA for the
employees of public schools and certain charitable, religious, educational and scientific
organizations described in IRC Section 501(c)(3). TSA contributions and Contract earnings are
generally not included in the gross income of the employee until the employee receives
distributions from the TSA. Amounts attributable to contributions made under a salary reduction
agreement cannot be distributed until the employee attains age 59 1/2, severs employment, becomes
disabled, incurs a hardship, or dies. The Texas ORP or any other plan under which the Contract was
purchased may impose additional restrictions.
Texas Optional Retirement Program
The Texas Optional Retirement Program (ORP) provides for the purchase of IRC 403(b) Tax-Sheltered
Annuities with fixed employer and employee contributions. Amounts attributable to such
contributions cannot be distributed until the employee terminates employment from all Texas public
institutions of higher education, retires, attains age 70 1/2, or dies. Amounts attributable to
employer contributions vest after one year of participation. Distributions require written
certification from the employer of the employees vesting status and, if the employee is living and
under age 70 1/2, the employees retirement or other termination from employment.
Pension, ProfitSharing, and 401(k) Plans
IRC Section 401 permits employers to establish various types of retirement plans for employees, and
permits self-employed individuals to establish such plans for themselves and their employees. These
plans may use annuity contracts to fund plan benefits. Generally, contributions are deductible to
the employer in the year made, and contributions and earnings are generally not included in the
gross income of the employee until the employee receives distributions from the plan. The IRC and
the plan may impose restrictions on distributions. Purchasers of a Contract for use with such plans
should seek competent advice regarding the suitability of the proposed plan documents and the
Contract for their specific needs.
Roth TSAs and Roth 401(k)s
IRC Section 402A permits participants in certain TSA programs or 401(k) plans to designate some
part or all of their future elective contributions as Roth contributions. Roth contributions to a
TSA or 401(k) plan are included in the participants taxable income as earned. Distributions are
considered to come proportionally from contributions and earnings. Distributions attributable to
contributions are tax-free. Distributions attributable to earnings are tax-free following the
five-year period beginning with the first year for which Roth contributions are made to the plan if
the Owner has attained age 59 1/2, become disabled, or died. Amounts attributable to Roth TSA and
Roth 401(k) contributions are subject to the same distribution restrictions that apply to other
amounts attributable to TSA or 401(k) contributions made under a salary reduction agreement. The
plan may impose additional restrictions.
Governmental Deferred Compensation Plans
State and local government employers may purchase annuity contracts to fund deferred compensation
plans for the benefit of their employees described in IRC Section 457(b). Contributions and
earnings are generally not included in the gross income of the employee until the employee receives
distributions from the plan. Amounts cannot be distributed until the employee attains age 70 1/2,
severs employment, becomes disabled, incurs an unforeseeable emergency, or dies. The plan may
impose additional restrictions.
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans
Employers may invest in annuity contracts in connection with unfunded deferred compensation
plans for their employees. Such plans may include deferred compensation plans of non-governmental
tax-exempt employers described in IRC Section 457(b); deferred compensation plans of both
governmental and nongovernmental tax-exempt employers that are taxed under IRC Section 457(f) and
subject to Section 409A; and nonqualified deferred compensation plans of for-profit employers
subject to Section 409A. In most cases, these plans are designed so that amounts credited under the
plan will not be includable in the employees gross income until paid under the plan. In these
situations, the annuity contracts are not plan assets and are subject to the claims of the
employers general creditors. Whether or not made from the Contract, benefits payments are subject
to restrictions imposed by the IRC and the plan.

Restrictions on
Distributions |
|
Distributions from tax-qualified Contracts
may be restricted to meet requirements of
the Internal Revenue Code and/or terms of
the retirement plan. |
|
None. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Taxation of
Surrenders |
|
If there is an after-tax investment in the
contract, a pro rata portion of the amount
surrendered is taxable income based on the
ratio of investment in the contract to
Account Value. Usually, 100% of
distributions from a qualified plan must be
included in taxable income because there
were no after-tax contributions and
therefore no investment in the contract.
Distributions from §408A Roth IRA or §402A
Roth TSA or Roth 401(k) are completely tax
free if certain requirements are met. |
|
Account Value in excess of
investment in the contract is
included in taxable income.
Generally, the investment in
the contract will equal the sum
of all purchase payments less
prior non-taxable withdrawals.
Surrenders are deemed to come
from earnings first, and
investment in the contract
last.
For a Contract purchased through
a IRC §1035 exchange that
includes contributions made
before August 14, 1982,
withdrawals are not taxable
until those contributions have
been returned in full. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Taxation of Benefit
Payments (annuity
benefit payments or
death benefit
payments) |
|
For fixed dollar benefit payments, a percentage of each payment is tax free equal
to the ratio of after-tax investment in the contract (if any) to the total
expected payments, and the balance is included in taxable income. For variable
dollar benefit payments, a specific dollar amount of each payment is tax free, as
predetermined by a pro rata formula, rather than a percentage of each payment. In
either case, once the after-tax investment in the contract has been recovered,
the full amount of each benefit payment is included in taxable income.
Distributions from a §408A Roth IRA or §402A Roth TSA or Roth 401(k) are
completely tax free if certain requirements are met. |

years of participation). Penalty taxes do
not apply to payments after the
participants death, or to §457 plans or

and nonqualified deferred compensation plan
are subject to wage withholding. For all
other payments, Payee may elect to have
taxes withheld or not. |
|
Generally, Payee may elect to
have taxes withheld or not. |
51
Required Minimum Distributions
The Contracts are subject to the required minimum distribution (RMD) rules of federal tax
law. These rules vary based on the tax qualification of the Contract or the plan under which it is
issued.
If the Contract is nonqualified or is a Roth IRA, then there are no required minimum distributions
during life. For all tax-qualified Contracts other than Roth IRAs, required minimum distributions
must generally begin by April 1 following attainment of age 70 1/2. However, a participant who is
not a 5% owner of the employer may delay required minimum distributions from the employers
Tax-Sheltered Annuity Plan, Pension, Profit-Sharing, or 401(k) Plan, or Governmental Deferred
Compensation Plan until April 1 following the year in which the participant retires from the
employer. The required minimum distributions during life are calculated based on standard life
expectancy tables adopted under federal tax law.
Both nonqualified and tax-qualified Contracts are subject to required minimum distributions after
death. Generally, if payments have begun under a settlement option during life, then after death
any remaining payments must be made at least as rapidly as those before death. If payments have not
begun under a settlement option during life, then the death benefit must be paid out in full within
five years after death, or must be paid out in substantially equal payments beginning within one
year of death over a period not exceeding the beneficiarys life expectancy. If the Contract is
nonqualified or is a traditional IRA or Roth IRA, a spouse beneficiary may elect out of these
requirements, and apply the required minimum distribution rules as if the contract were his or her
own.
52
CALCULATION OF BENEFIT PAYMENTS
Calculation of Fixed Dollar Payments
Fixed dollar benefit payments are determined by multiplying the amount applied to the fixed
dollar benefit (expressed in thousands of dollars and after deduction of any fees and charges,
loans, or applicable premium taxes) by the amount of the payment per $1,000 of value which the
Company is currently paying for settlement options of that type. Fixed dollar benefit payments will
remain level for the duration of the Benefit Payment Period.
For Contracts issued after May 1, 2004 in states where the Company has received regulatory
approval, the Company generally guarantees minimum benefit payment factors based on annuity 2000
mortality tables for blended lives (60% female/40% male), with interest at 1% per year, compounded
annually.
For all other Contracts, the Company guarantees minimum fixed dollar benefit payment factors based
on 1983 annuity mortality tables for individuals or groups, as applicable, with interest at 3% per
year, compounded annually. For group Contracts, individual tax-qualified Contracts and individual
non-tax-qualified Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 457 Contracts, the Company uses tables for
blended lives (60% female/40% male). For individual non-tax-qualified Contracts except IRC Section
457, the Company uses tables for male and female lives. Where required by state law, the Company
uses blended tables for all Contracts. The minimum monthly payments per $1,000 of value for the
Companys standard settlement options are set forth in tables in the Contracts. Upon request, the
Company will provide information about minimum monthly payments for ages or fixed periods not shown
in the settlement option tables.
Calculation of Variable Dollar Payments
The variable dollar base payment is the amount it would be if it were a fixed dollar payment
calculated at the Companys minimum guaranteed settlement option factors.
The amount of each variable dollar payment will reflect the investment performance of the
Subaccount(s) selected and may vary from payment to payment. For example, because the base payment
includes a fixed rate of interest, payments will be less than the base payment if the net
investment performance of the applicable Subaccounts is less than that rate of interest. Payments
will be more than the base payment if the net investment performance of the applicable
Subaccount(s) is greater than that rate of interest.
The amount of each payment is the sum of the payment due for each Subaccount selected. The payment
due for a Subaccount equals the shares for that Subaccount, which are the Benefit Units, times
their value, which is the Benefit Unit Value for that Subaccount as of the end of the fifth
Valuation Period preceding the due date of the payment.
The number of Benefit Units for each Subaccount selected is determined by allocating the amount of
the variable dollar basee payment among the Subaccount(s) selected in the percentages indicated by
the Owner (or Payee). The dollar amount allocated to a Subaccount is divided by the Benefit Unit
Value for that Subaccount as of the first day of the Benefit Payment Period. The result is the
number of Benefit Units that the Company will pay for that Subaccount at each payment interval. The
number of Benefit Units remains fixed during the Benefit Payment Period, except as a result of any
transfers among Subaccounts or as provided under the settlement option elected. An explanation of
how Benefit Unit Values are calculated is included in the Glossary of Financial Terms of this
prospectus.
Commuted Values
After receiving benefits under a Contract for at least 5 years, the person entitled to
payments may elect to receive a lump-sum commuted value of the remaining benefit payments. The
commuted value is less than the sum of the payments not made because those payments include
interest. The commuted value at any time is an amount equal to the payments not yet made under the
settlement option less interest from the date of each payment not yet made. The interest rate used
to calculate the commuted value of payments may not be the same interest rate originally used to
establish the payments under the settlement option. The Company will, upon request, provide
information on the then current commuted value, if any, of any non-life contingent settlement
option elected.
Payments contingent on life may not be commuted. A Beneficiary may not commute payments under a
settlement option elected by the Owner.
53
GLOSSARY OF FINANCIAL TERMS
The following financial terms explain how the variable portion of the Contracts is valued.
Read these terms in conjunction with the Definitions section of this prospectus.
Accumulation Unit Value: The initial Accumulation Unit Value for each Subaccount other than the
money market Subaccount was set at $10. The initial Accumulation Unit Value for the money market
Subaccount was set at $1. The initial Accumulation Unit Value for a Subaccount was established at
the inception date of the Separate Account, or on the date the Subaccount was established, if
later. The Company establishes distinct Accumulation Unit Values for Contracts with different
Separate Account fee structures, as described in the Expense Tables.
After the initial Accumulation Unit Value is established, the Accumulation Unit Value for a
Subaccount at the end of each Valuation Period is the Accumulation Unit Value at the end of the
previous Valuation Period multiplied by the Net Investment Factor for that Subaccount for the
current Valuation Period.
A Net Investment Factor of 1 produces no change in the Accumulation Unit Value for that Valuation
Period. A Net Investment Factor of more than 1 or less than 1 produces an increase or a decrease,
respectively, in the Accumulation Unit Value for that Valuation Period. The Accumulation Unit Value
will vary to reflect the investment experience of the applicable Portfolios.
Benefit Unit Value: The initial Benefit Unit Value for a Subaccount will be set equal to the
Accumulation Unit Value for that Subaccount at the end of the first Valuation Period in which a
variable dollar benefit is established by the Company. The Company will establish distinct Benefit
Unit Values for Contracts with different Separate Account fee structures, as described in the
Expense Tables.
The Benefit Unit Value for a Subaccount at the end of each Valuation Period after the first is the
Benefit Unit Value at the end of the previous Valuation Period multiplied by the Net Investment
Factor for that Subaccount for the current Valuation Period, and multiplied by a daily investment
factor for each day in the Valuation Period. The daily investment factor reduces the previous
Benefit Unit Value by the daily amount of the assumed interest rate, which is already incorporated
in the calculation of variable dollar payments.
For applicable Contracts issued after May 1, 2004, the assumed daily investment factor is based on
the assumed net investment rate for the Settlement Option Table that is used to fix the base
payment. It generally will not be greater than 0.99997236, which is the factor based on a net
investment rate of 1% per year, compounded annually, as reflected in the guaranteed Settlement
Option Tables. For all other Contracts, the daily investment factor (0.99991781) is based on the
assumed net investment rate of 3% per year, compounded annually, that is reflected in the
Settlement Option Tables.
Net Investment Factor: The Net Investment Factor for any Subaccount for any Valuation Period is
determined by dividing NAV2 by NAV1 and subtracting a factor representing the mortality and expense
risk charge and the administration charge (as well as the charges for any optional riders or
endorsements) deducted from the Subaccount during that Valuation Period, where:
NAV1 is equal to the Net Asset Value for the Portfolio for the preceding Valuation Period; and
NAV2 is equal to the Net Asset Value for the Portfolio for the current Valuation Period plus the
per share amount of any dividend or net capital gain distributions made by the Portfolio during the
current Valuation Period, and plus or minus a per share charge or credit if the Company adjusts its
tax reserves due to investment operations of the Subaccount or changes in tax law.
In other words, the Net Investment Factor represents the percentage change in the total value of
assets invested by the Separate Account in a Portfolio. That percentage is then applied to
Accumulation Unit Values and Benefit Unit Values as described in the discussion of those terms in
this section of the prospectus.
54
From time to time, we may advertise yields and/or total returns for the Subaccounts. These
figures are based on historical information and are not intended to indicate future performance.
Performance data and a more detailed description of the methods used to determine yield and total
return are included in the Statement of Additional Information.
Yield Data
The yield of the money market Subaccount refers to the annualized income generated by an
investment in that Subaccount over a specified seven-day period. The effective yield of the money
market Subaccount is the same as the yield except that it assumes reinvestment of the income
earned in that Subaccount. The effective yield will be slightly higher than the yield because of
the compounding effect of this assumed reinvestment. We only advertise yields for the money market
Subaccount.
Total Return Data
We may advertise two types of total return data: average annual total return and cumulative
total return. Average annual total return is presented in both standardized and non-standardized
form. Cumulative total return data is currently presented only in non-standardized form.
Standardized total return data reflects the deduction of all charges that apply to all Contracts
of that type, except for premium taxes. Non-standardized total return data does not reflect the
deduction of contract maintenance fees. Total return data that does not reflect contract
maintenance fees will be higher than the total return realized by an Owner who incurs the charges.
Average annual total return is either hypothetical or actual return data that reflects
performance of a Subaccount for a one-year period or for an average of consecutive one-year
periods. If average annual total return data is hypothetical, it reflects performance for a period
of time before the Separate Account commenced operations. When a Subaccount has been in operation
for one, five and ten years, average annual total return will be presented for these periods,
although other periods may be presented as well.
Cumulative total return is either hypothetical or actual return data that reflects the
performance of a Subaccount from the beginning of the period presented to the end of the period
presented. If cumulative total return data is hypothetical, it reflects performance for a period of
time before the Separate Account commenced operations.
Other Performance Measures
We may include in reports and promotional literature rankings of the Subaccounts, the Separate
Account or the Contracts, as published by any service, company, or person that ranks separate
accounts or other investment products on overall performance or other criteria. Examples of
companies that publish such rankings are Lipper Analytical Services, Inc., VARDS, IBC/Donoghues
Money Fund Report, Financial Planning Magazine, Money Magazine, Bank Rate Monitor, Standard &
Poors Indices, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Morningstar.
We may also:
|
|
compare the performance of a Subaccount with applicable indices and/or industry averages |
|
|
present performance information that reflects the effects of tax-deferred compounding on Subaccount investment returns |
|
|
compare investment return on a tax-deferred basis with currently taxable investment return |
|
|
illustrate investment returns by graphs, charts, or otherwise |

APPENDIX C: TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS
Restrictions on Transfers; Disruptive Trading, Market Timing and Frequent Transfers
We discourage (and will take action to deter) short-term trading in the Contracts because the
frequent movement between or among Subaccounts may negatively impact other Contract Owners,
Annuitants and Beneficiaries. Short-term trading can result in:
|
|
the dilution of Accumulation Unit Values or Portfolio net asset values |
|
|
Portfolio advisors taking actions that negatively impact performance such as keeping a larger portion of the Portfolio
assets in cash or liquidating investments prematurely in order to support redemption requests |
|
|
increased administrative costs due to frequent purchases and redemptions |
To help protect Contract Owners, Annuitants and Beneficiaries from the negative impact of these
practices, we have implemented several processes and/or restrictions aimed at eliminating the
negative impact of active trading strategies. There is no guarantee that we will be able to detect
harmful trading practices, or, if it is detected, to prevent recurrences.
U.S. Mail Restrictions on Persons Engaged in Harmful Trading Practices
We monitor transfer activity in order to identify those who may be engaged in harmful trading
practices and we produce and examine transaction reports. Generally, a Contract may appear on these
reports if the Contract Owner (or a third party acting on their behalf) engages in a certain number
of transfer events in a given period. A transfer event is any transfer, or combination of
transfers, occurring on a given trading day (Valuation Date). For example, multiple transfers by a
Contract Owner involving 10 underlying Portfolios in one day count as one transfer event. A single
transfer occurring on a given trading day and involving only 2 underlying Portfolios (or one
underlying Portfolio if the transfer is made to or from the Fixed Account options) will also count
as one transfer event. A transfer event would not include a transfer made pursuant to one of the
automatic transfer programs such as dollar cost averaging, portfolio rebalancing and interest
sweep.
As a result of this monitoring process, we may restrict the method of communication by which
transfer requests will be accepted. In general, we will adhere to the following guidelines:
|
|
|
Trading Behavior |
|
Our Response |
6 or more transfer
events in one
quarter of a
Contract Year
|
|
We will mail a letter to the Contract Owner notifying the Contract Owner that:
(1) we have identified the Contract Owner as a person engaging in harmful
trading practices; and
(2) if the Contract Owners transfer events exceed 12 in one Contract Year,
we will automatically require the Contract Owner to submit transfer requests
via regular first-class U.S. mail and we will not accept transfer requests
from the Contract Owner that are sent by other means such as electronic means
or overnight, priority or courier delivery. |
|
|
|
More than 12
transfer events in
one Contract Year
|
|
We will automatically require the Contract Owner to submit transfer requests
via regular first-class U.S. mail and we will not accept transfer requests
from the Contract Owner that are sent by any other means. |
On each Contract Anniversary, we will start the monitoring anew, so that each Contract starts with
zero transfer events the first day of each new Contract Year. See, however, the Other
Restrictions provision below.
74
U.S Mail Restrictions on Managers of Multiple Contracts
Some investment advisors/representatives manage the assets of multiple Contracts pursuant to
trading authority granted or conveyed by multiple Contract Owners. We generally will require these
multi-contract advisors to submit all transfers requests via regular first-class U.S. mail.
Other Restrictions
We reserve the right to refuse or limit transfer requests, or take any other action we deem
necessary, in order to protect Contract Owners, Annuitants, and Beneficiaries from the negative
investment results that may result from short-term trading or other harmful investment practices
employed by some Contract Owners (or third parties acting on their behalf). In particular, trading
strategies designed to avoid or take advantage of our monitoring procedures (and other measures
aimed at curbing harmful trading practices) that are nevertheless determined by us to constitute
harmful trading practices, may be restricted. We will consider the following factors:
|
|
the dollar amount involved in the transfer event |
|
|
the total assets of the Portfolio involved in the transfer event |
|
|
the number of transfer events completed in the current quarter of the Contract Year |
|
|
whether the transfer event is part of a pattern of transfer events designed to take advantage of short-term market
fluctuations or market efficiencies |
In addition, the Portfolios reserve the right, in their sole discretion and without prior notice,
to reject, restrict or refuse purchase orders received from insurance company separate accounts
that the Portfolios determine not to be in the best interest of their shareholders. We will apply
such rejections, restrictions or refusals by the Portfolios uniformly and without exception.
The restrictions discussed above are designed to prevent harmful trading practices. Despite such
transfer restrictions, there is a risk that such harmful trading practices could still occur. If
we determine our goal of curtailing harmful trading practices is not being fulfilled, we may amend
or replace the procedures described above without prior notice. We will consider waiving the
procedures described above for unanticipated financial emergencies.
