We were notified on October 18, 2017 of a systems issue at a third-party service provider utilized by certain underlying mutual fund portfolios. The system issue has been resolved and no changes were necessary to the portfolios’ reported net asset values (NAVs) and performance information. The portfolios’ NAVs are used to calculate the unit values and performance information for the Subaccounts invested in these portfolios. Therefore, no changes to your account balances or the performance of the Subaccounts displayed on our website or advertising materials will be necessary.
