THIS SUPPLEMENT MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH YOUR PROSPECTUS. PLEASE RETAIN THIS SUPPLEMENT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE |
MML Investment Advisers, LLC, the investment adviser to the MML American Funds International Fund, MML Equity Momentum Fund, and MML Special Situations Fund (individually, the “Fund”, and together the “Funds”), believes it is in the best interest of the Funds and their shareholders to liquidate each Fund.
The Board of Trustees and shareholders of each Fund have approved a plan of liquidation, pursuant to which each Fund will be liquidated on or about November 4, 2022.
Transfer of Contract Value from the Liquidated Fund
After the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on November 4, 2022, any contract value remaining in the MML American Funds International, MML Equity Momentum, or MML Special Situations sub-accounts will be automatically transferred to the MML U.S. Government Money Market sub-account available with your variable annuity contract.
If you do not want your contract value in these sub-accounts automatically transferred to the MML U.S. Government Money Market sub-account, we must receive your request (in good order) at our Service Center by the close of the NYSE on November 3, 2022 to transfer your contract value to a different investment choice available under your variable annuity contract. That transfer will not count toward transfer limits imposed by our frequent trading and market timing policies.
If, due to the liquidation, we transfer any of your contract value to the MML U.S. Government Money Market sub-account, such transfer will not count toward transfer limits imposed by our frequent trading and market timing policies.

If you are participating in the Custom Allocation Program in connection with MassMutual RetirePay, after the close of the NYSE on November 4, 2022, any contract value remaining in the MML American Funds International, MML Equity Momentum, or MML Special Situations sub-accounts will be automatically transferred to the MML U.S. Government Money Market sub-account.
Following the transfer, your allocations may fall outside of the permitted ranges under the Custom Allocation Choice Program if the transfer were to either cause you to either (1) exceed 30% in Allocation Category 1 or (2) fall below 40% in Allocation Category 2.
