VARIABLE SEPARATE ACCOUNT

This variable annuity has several investment choices - Variable Portfolios (which are subaccounts of the separate account) and available Fixed Account options. Each Variable Portfolio invests exclusively in shares of one of the Underlying Funds listed in Appendix A to this prospectus.

This variable annuity provides an optional Payment Enhancement feature. If you elect this feature, in exchange for Payment Enhancements credited to your contract, your withdrawal charge schedule will be longer and greater than if you chose not to elect this feature. These withdrawal charges may more than offset the value of any Payment Enhancement.

Please read this prospectus carefully and keep it for future reference. It contains important information about the variable annuity, including a description of all material features of the contract.

These securities have not been approved or disapproved by the SEC, nor any state securities commission, nor has the SEC passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Glossary

We have capitalized some of the technical terms used in this prospectus. To help you understand these terms, we have defined them in this glossary.

Accumulation Phase - The period during which you invest money in your contract.

Accumulation Units - A measurement we use to calculate the value of the variable portion of your contract during the Accumulation Phase.

Annuitant - The person on whose life we base annuity income payments after you begin the Income Phase.

Annuity Date - The date you select on which annuity income payments begin.

Annuity Units - A measurement we use to calculate the amount of annuity income payments you receive from the variable portion of your contract during the Income Phase.

Beneficiary - The person you designate to receive any benefits under the contract if you or, in the case of a non-natural Owner, the Annuitant dies. If your contract is jointly owned, you and the joint Owner are each other’s primary Beneficiary.

Company - Refers to American General Life Insurance Company (“AGL”). The term “we,” “us” and “our” are also used to identify the issuing Company.

Continuation Contribution - An amount by which the death benefit that would have been paid to the spousal Beneficiary upon the death of the original Owner exceeds the contract value as of the Good Order date. We will contribute this amount, if any, to the contract value upon spousal continuation.

Continuing Spouse - Spouse of original contract Owner at the time of death who elects to continue the contract after the death of the original contract Owner.

Fixed Account - An account, if available, in which you may invest money and earn a fixed rate of return. Fixed Accounts are obligations of the General Account.

General Account - The Company’s account, which includes any amounts you have allocated to available Fixed Accounts, including any interest credited thereon, and amounts owed under your contract for death benefits and/or Living Benefits which are in excess of portions of contract value allocated to the Variable Portfolios.

Good Order - Fully and accurately completed form(s) and/or instructions, including any necessary documentation, applicable to any given transaction or request received by us.

Income Phase - The period upon annuitization during which we make annuity income payments to you.

Insurable Interest - Evidence that the Owner(s), Annuitant(s) or Beneficiary(ies) will suffer a financial loss at the death of the life that triggers the death benefit. Generally, we consider an interest insurable if a familial relationship and/or an economic interest exists. A familial relationship generally includes those persons related by blood or by law. An economic interest exists when the Owner has a lawful and substantial economic interest in having the life, health or bodily safety of the insured life preserved.

Latest Annuity Date - For contracts issued prior to January 1, 2001, the Latest Annuity Date is defined as the first NYSE business day of the month following your 90th birthday or 10 years after your contract issue date, whichever is later.

Purchase Payments - The money you give us to buy and invest in the contract.

Purchase Payments Limit - $1,000,000.

Qualified (contract) - A contract purchased with pretax dollars. These contracts are generally purchased under a pension plan, specially sponsored program or IRA.

OVERVIEW OF THE CONTRACT

Purpose of the Contract

The contract is designed to help you invest on a tax-deferred basis, meet long-term financial goals, and plan for your retirement. You can accumulate assets by investing in the contract’s investment options and then later convert those accumulated assets into a stream of guaranteed income payments from us. The contract includes certain death benefit options that may help financially protect your beneficiaries in the event of your death. An Optional Living Benefits may also be available under the contract, which is designed to help you achieve your financial goals and protect against certain financial risks.

This contract may be appropriate for you if you have a long investment time horizon and the contract’s terms and conditions are consistent with your financial goals. It is not intended for people whose liquidity needs require early or frequent withdrawals or for people who intend to frequently trade in the contract’s Variable Portfolios.

Phases of the Contract

Like all deferred annuities, the contract has two phases: (1) the Accumulation Phase (for savings) and (2) the Income Phase (for income).

Accumulation Phase. During the Accumulation Phase, you invest the money under your contract in one or more available investment options to help you build assets on a tax-deferred basis. The available investment options may include:

•

Variable Portfolios. When you invest in a Variable Portfolio, you are indirectly investing in the Variable Portfolio’s Underlying Fund. The Underlying Funds have different investment objectives, strategies, and risks. You can gain or lose money if you invest in a Variable Portfolio.
Additional information about each Underlying Fund is provided in an appendix to this prospectus. Please see APPENDIX A – UNDERLYING FUNDS AVAILABLE UNDER THE CONTRACT.

•

Fixed Accounts. When you invest in a Fixed Account option, your principal is guaranteed and earns interest based on a rate set and guaranteed by the Company.

The amount of money you accumulate under your contract depends (in part) on the performance of the investment options you choose. You may transfer money between investment options during the Accumulation Phase, subject to certain restrictions and possible fees. Your accumulated assets impact the value of your contract’s benefits during the Accumulation Phase, including the death benefit and any optional Living Benefits, as well as the amount available for withdrawal.

Income Phase. When you are ready to receive guaranteed income under the contract, you can switch to the Income Phase, at which time you will start to receive annuity income payments from us. This is also referred to as “annuitizing” your contract. You generally decide when to annuitize your contract, although there are restrictions on the earliest and latest times that your contract may be annuitized. If you do not annuitize or surrender your contract before the latest annuitization date, your contract will be automatically annuitized.

You can choose from the available annuity income options, which may provide income for life, for an available period of time, or a combination of both. You can also choose to receive payments on a variable or fixed basis, or some combination of both. If the payments are fixed, the dollar amount of each payment will not change. If the payments are variable, the dollar amounts for the payments will fluctuate.

There is no death benefit during the Income Phase. Annuity payments may be payable after death depending on the annuity income option that you selected. You cannot take withdrawals of contract value or surrender the contract during the Income Phase. If you own an optional Living Benefit at the time that you annuitize the contract, you may choose to take annuity income payments in accordance with that Living Benefit. Otherwise, your optional Living Benefit terminates at the beginning of the Income Phase.

Contract Features

Accessing Your Money. You may withdraw money from your contract at any time during the Accumulation Phase. If you make a withdrawal, you may have to pay a withdrawal charge and/or income taxes, including a tax penalty if you are younger than age 59½.

Withdrawals may negatively impact the value of your contract’s benefits, and may cause an optional Living Benefit to terminate.

Tax Treatment. You can transfer money between investment options without tax implications, and earnings (if any) on your investments are generally tax-deferred. Earnings are not taxed until they are distributed, which may occur when making a withdrawal, upon receiving an annuity payment, or upon payment of the death benefit.

Optional Living Benefit. You may have elected the optional Living Benefit under the contract for an additional fee. The Living Benefit that is available must be elected at the time that the contract is purchased. The Living Benefit is designed to provide limited protection from unfavorable investment performance during the Accumulation Phase, and can also provide a guaranteed income stream that may last as long as you live.

Death Benefits. If you die during the Accumulation Phase, the Company pays a death benefit to your beneficiary or beneficiaries. The contract includes the Purchase Payment Accumulation Death Benefit and the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit at no additional charge. If you elected the optional EstatePlus death benefit for an additional fee, a greater amount may be payable upon death.

Additional Features and Services. Additional features and services under the contract are summarized below. There are no additional charges associated with these features and services unless otherwise noted. Not all features and services may be available under your contract.

•

Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) Fixed Accounts. If you invest in a DCA Fixed Account, interest is credited to amounts allocated to that DCA Fixed Account and your money is systematically transferred from the DCA Fixed Account to one or more investment options over a specified period of time. Automatic transfers do not count towards the number of free transfers per contract year.

•

Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) Program. The DCA program allows you to systematically transfer a specified dollar amount or percentage of contract value from an investment option to one or more eligible investment options. Automatic transfers do not count towards the number of free transfers per contract year.

•

Automatic Asset Rebalancing Program. This program allows you to have your investments periodically rebalanced so that the resulting allocations are consistent with your current investment instructions. Automatic rebalances do not count towards the number of free transfers per contract year.

•

Systematic Withdrawal Program. This program allows you to receive periodic withdrawals from your contract on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis.

•

Automatic Payment Plan. This program allows you to make automatic subsequent Purchase Payments, once you have contributed at least the minimum initial Purchase Payment.

•

The Return Plus Program. This program allows you to allocate your investment strategically between Fixed Accounts and Variable Portfolios for no additional charge and is available if we are offering multi-year Fixed Accounts.

•

Polaris Rewards Program. If you were age 80 or younger at the time your contract was issued you may have elected to participate in this program at contract issue. We contribute an upfront Payment Enhancement and, if available, a deferred Payment Enhancement to your contract in conjunction with each Purchase Payment you invest during the life of

your contract. If you elected to participate in this program, all Purchase Payments are subject to a nine year withdrawal charge schedule.

Examples

These examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include transaction expenses, annual contract expenses, and annual Underlying Fund expenses.

The expense examples below assume that you invest $100,000 in the contract for the time periods indicated; your investment has a 5% return each year; and you incur the maximum or minimum fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds as indicated in the examples.

The Maximum Expense Examples reflect the most expensive possible combination of charges (including additional charges for optional benefits). Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs at the end of the stated period would be the amounts set forth in the tables below.

Maximum Expense Examples

(assuming annual contract expenses of 1.77% with Polaris Rewards (including EstatePlus) and investment in an Underlying Fund with total expenses of 1.33%*)

Additional Expense Example Information

In addition to the stated assumptions, the Expense Examples also assume that no transfer fees were imposed. Although premium taxes may apply in certain states, they are not reflected in the Expense Examples.

Expense Examples with election of the Polaris Rewards program reflect the Polaris Rewards withdrawal charge schedule, but do not reflect any upfront Payment Enhancement.

If you elected the Income Protector Plus or Income Protector Max feature between November 2, 1998 and March 31, 1999, please see the Income Protector program below for details regarding the fee applicable to the feature.

The 1-year Maximum Expense Example reflects the SunAmerica Series Trust 0.12% fee waiver.

The 1 year Minimum Expense Example reflects the Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust 0.03% fee waiver.

These examples should not be considered a representation of past or future expenses. Actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.

Principal Risks Of Investing In The Contract

Risk of Loss. Variable annuities involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Your losses could be significant. This contract is not a deposit or obligation of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank. This contract is not federally insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other agency.

Short-Term Investment Risk. This contract is not designed for short-term investing and may not be appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. The benefits of tax deferral, long-term income, and Living Benefit protections mean that this contract is more beneficial to investors with a long investment time horizon.

Withdrawal Risk. You should carefully consider the risks associated with withdrawals under the contract. Withdrawals may be subject to significant withdrawal charges. If you make a withdrawal prior to age 59½, there may be adverse tax consequences, including a 10% IRS penalty tax. A withdrawal may reduce the value of your standard and optional benefits. For instance, a withdrawal will reduce the value of the death benefit. In addition, a withdrawal could reduce the value of an optional Living Benefit by an amount greater than the amount withdrawn and could result in termination of the benefit. A total withdrawal (surrender) will result in the termination of your contract. We may defer payment of withdrawals from a Fixed Account option (including the Secure Value Account) for up to six months when permitted by law.

Variable Portfolio Risk. Amounts that you invest in the Variable Portfolios are subject to the risk of poor investment performance. You assume the investment risk. You can gain or lose money if you invest in these Variable Portfolios. Each Variable Portfolio’s performance depends on the performance of its Underlying Fund. Each Underlying Fund has its own investment risks, and you are exposed to the Underlying Fund’s investment risks when you invest in a Variable Portfolio. You are responsible for allocating Purchase Payments to the Variable Portfolios that are appropriate for you based on your own individual circumstances, investment goals, financial situation, and risk tolerance. You bear the risk of any decline in contract value resulting from the performance of the Variable Portfolio you have selected. In making your investment selections, you should investigate all information available to you including the Underlying Fund’s prospectus, statement of additional information and annual and semi-annual reports. We do not provide investment advice, nor do we recommend or endorse any particular Underlying Fund.

Selection Risk. The optional benefits under the contract were designed for different financial goals and to protect against different financial risks. There is a risk that you may not choose, or may not have chosen, the benefit or benefits (if any) that are best suited for you based on your present or future needs and circumstances, and the benefits

that are more suited for you (if any) may no longer be available. In addition, if you elected an optional benefit and do not use it, or if the contingencies upon which the benefit depend never occur, you will have paid for a benefit that you may not use or benefit from.

Managed Volatility Fund Risk. Certain Underlying Funds, including some Underlying Funds that are available under certain optional Living Benefits’ investment requirements, utilize managed volatility strategies. These risk management techniques help us manage our financial risks associated with the contract’s guarantees, like living and death benefits, because they reduce the incidence of extreme outcomes including the probability of large gains or losses. However, these strategies can also limit your participation in rising equity markets, which may limit the potential growth of your contract value and the potential growth of your guaranteed benefits. Certain Underlying Funds advised by our affiliate employ such risk management strategies, which may help us manage our financial risks.

Purchase Payment Risk. Your ability to make subsequent Purchase Payments is subject to certain restrictions. We reserve the right to refuse any Purchase Payment(s), limit the amount of subsequent Purchase Payment(s) with advance notice based on age as shown below and election of optional benefit(s), and may require our prior approval before accepting Purchase Payments greater than the Purchase Payments Limit as defined in the Glossary. There is no guarantee that you will always be permitted to make Purchase Payments.

Minimum Contract Value Risk. Where permitted by state law, we may terminate your contract if your contract value is less than $2,500 as a result of withdrawals and/or fees and charges. We will provide you with 60 days written notice that your contract is being terminated. At the end of the notice period, we will distribute the contract’s remaining value to you.

Financial Strength and Claims-Paying Ability Risk. All guarantees under the contract that are paid from our general account (including under any Fixed Account option) are subject to our financial strength and claims-paying ability.

Business Disruption. Our business is also vulnerable to disruptions from natural and man-made disasters and catastrophes, such as but not limited to hurricanes, windstorms, flooding, earthquakes, wildfires, solar storms, war or other military action, acts of terrorism, explosions and fires, pandemic (such as COVID-19) and other highly contagious diseases, mass torts, failure of telecommunications or other critical infrastructure and other catastrophes. A natural or man-made disaster or catastrophe may negatively affect the computer and other systems on which we rely, and may also interfere with our ability to receive, pickup and process mail, to calculate Accumulation Unit Values (“AUVs”), process other contract-related transactions, or otherwise provide our services, or have other

possible negative impacts. While we have developed and put in place what we believe to be appropriate business continuity and disaster recovery plans and procedures to mitigate operational risks and potential losses related to business disruptions resulting from natural and man-made disasters and catastrophes, there can be no assurance that we, our agents, the Underlying Funds or our service providers will be able to successfully avoid negative impacts resulting from such disasters and catastrophes.

Cybersecurity Risk. We rely heavily on interconnected computer systems and digital data to conduct our variable product business activities. Because our variable product business is highly dependent upon the effective operation of our computer systems and those of our business partners and service providers, our business is vulnerable to physical disruptions and utility outages, and susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from information systems failure (e.g., hardware and software malfunctions), cyber-attacks, user error or other disruptions to the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of such systems and data. These risks include, among other things, the theft, misuse, corruption, disclosure and destruction of sensitive business data, including personal information, maintained on our or our business partners’ or service providers’ systems, interference with or denial of service attacks on websites and other operational disruptions and/or unauthorized release of confidential customer information, including as a result of social engineering attacks or employee malfeasance. Such systems failures and cyber-attacks or incidents affecting us, any third-party administrator, the Underlying Funds, intermediaries and other affiliated or third-party service providers, as well as our distribution partners, may adversely affect us and your contract value. For instance, systems failures and cyber-attacks may interfere with our processing of contract transactions, including the processing of orders from our website, our distribution partners, or with the Underlying Funds, impact our ability to calculate AUVs, cause the release and possible destruction of confidential customer or business information, impede order processing, subject us and/or our service providers, distribution partners and other intermediaries to regulatory fines and enforcement action, litigation risks and financial losses and/or cause reputational damage. Cyber security risks may also impact the issuers of securities in which the Underlying Funds invest, which may cause the affected Underlying Funds to lose value. There may be an increased risk of cyber-attacks during periods of geo-political or military conflict. Despite our implementation of policies and procedures, which we believe to be reasonable, that address physical, administrative and technical safeguards and controls and other preventative actions to protect our systems and sensitive business and customer information and reduce the risk of cyber-incidents, there can be no assurance that we or our distribution partners or the Underlying Funds or our service providers will avoid cyber-attacks or information security breaches in the future that may affect your contract and/or personal

information.

Purchasing A PolarisII Variable Annuity

When you purchase a variable annuity, a contract exists between you and the Company. You are the Owner of the contract.

Maximum Issue Age

We will not issue a contract to anyone age 86 or older on the contract issue date.

Note: In general, we will not issue a Qualified contract to anyone who is age 72 or older, unless it is shown that the minimum distribution required by the IRS is being made. Please see TAXES.

Joint Ownership

A Non-Qualified contract may be jointly owned by a spouse or non-spouse. Joint owners possess an equal and undivided interest in the contract. The age of the older Owner is used to determine the availability of most age driven benefits.

The addition of a joint Owner after the contract has been issued is contingent upon prior review and approval by the Company.

We will not issue a Qualified contract with joint owners, in accordance with tax law.

Spouse

Your spouse (as determined for federal tax law purposes) may jointly own the contract. In certain states, domestic or civil union partners (“Domestic Partners”) qualify for treatment as, or are equal to, spouses under state law.

Non-Spouse

In certain states, we may issue the contract to non-spousal joint owners. Non-spousal joint Owners and Domestic Partners should consult with their tax adviser and/or financial representative as, they may not be able to fully benefit from certain benefits and features of the contract such as the optional Living Benefit, if applicable Spousal Continuation of the death benefit.

Please see APPENDIX D — STATE CONTRACT AVAILABILITY AND/OR VARIABILITY for a list of states that require that benefits and features be made to domestic or civil union partners.

Non-Natural Ownership

A trust, corporation or other non-natural entity may only own this contract if such entity has sufficiently demonstrated an Insurable Interest in the Annuitant selected.

At its sole discretion, the Company reserves the right to decline to issue this contract to certain entities. We apply various considerations including but not limited to:

•

Estate planning,

•

Tax consequences, and

•

The propriety of this contract as an investment consistent with a non-natural Owner’s organizational documentation.

For more information on non-natural ownership, please see TAXES. You should consult with your tax and/or legal advisor in connection with non-natural ownership of this contract.

Assignment of the Contract/Change of Ownership

You may assign this contract before beginning the Income Phase. We will not be bound by any assignment until we receive and process your written request at our Annuity Service Center and you have received confirmation.

•

Your rights and those of any other person with rights under this contract will be subject to the assignment.

•

We are not responsible for the validity, tax or other legal consequences of any assignment.

•

An assignment will not affect any payments we may make or actions we may take before we receive notice of the assignment.

We reserve the right not to recognize any assignment, as determined in our sole discretion, if it changes the risk profile of the contract owner, if no Insurable Interest exists, or if not permitted by the Internal Revenue Code.

Please see TAXES for details on the tax consequences of an assignment. You should consult a qualified tax adviser before assigning the contract.

Termination of the Contract for Misstatement and/or Fraud

The Company reserves the right to terminate the contract at any time if it discovers a misstatement or fraudulent representation of any information provided in connection with the issuance or ongoing administration of the contract.

If we learn of a misstatement of age, we reserve the right to fully pursue our remedies including revocation of any age-driven benefits and/or termination of the contract. Please see APPENDIX D — STATE CONTRACT AVAILABILITY AND/OR VARIABILITY for specific information.

Allocation of Purchase Payments

In order to issue your contract, we must receive your initial Purchase Payment and all required paperwork in Good Order, including Purchase Payment allocation instructions.

An initial Purchase Payment is the money you give us to purchase a contract. Any additional money you give us to invest in the contract after purchase is a subsequent Purchase Payment.

Minimum Initial and Subsequent Purchase Payments

	Minimum Initial Purchase Payment	Minimum Subsequent Purchase Payment	Minimum Automatic Subsequent Purchase Payment
Qualified(1)	$2,000	$250	$100
Non-Qualified(1)	$5,000	$500	$100

(1)

These amounts depend upon whether a contract is Qualified or Non-Qualified for tax purposes. For further explanation, please see TAXES.

Purchase Payment Restrictions

We reserve the right to refuse any Purchase Payment. We will not accept subsequent Purchase Payments from contract Owners age 86 or older.

We reserve the right to require Company approval prior to accepting Purchase Payments greater than the Purchase Payments Limit as defined in the Glossary.

•

For contracts owned by a non-natural Owner, we reserve the right to require prior Company approval to accept any Purchase Payment.

•

Purchase Payments that would cause total Purchase Payments in all contracts issued by AGL and/or The United States Life Insurance Company in the City of New York (“US Life”) to the same Owner and/or Annuitant to exceed the Purchase Payments Limit may also be subject to Company pre-approval.

Submission of Purchase Payments

Purchase Payments will be priced when received at the Annuity Service Center. Delivery of Purchase Payments to any other address may result in a delay in crediting your contract until the Purchase Payment is received at the Annuity Service Center.

Regular Mail:

Purchase Payments sent by regular mail must be sent to the Premium Processing Center at the following address:

American General Life Insurance Company

Premium Processing Center

P.O. Box 100330

Pasadena, CA 91189-0330

Express Delivery:

Purchase Payments sent by overnight or express delivery must be sent to the Premium Processing Center at the following address:

JPM Chase-AGL 100330

Premium Processing Center

2710 Media Center Drive

Building #6, Suite 120

Los Angeles, CA 90065-1750

Receipt of Purchase Payments:

Purchase Payments will be picked up at the mailing addresses noted above and forwarded to our Annuity Service Center. Purchase Payments, however, are not considered received by us until received at our Annuity Service Center in Good Order.

We allocate your Purchase Payment to your contract as of the date such Purchase Payment is priced. Initial Purchase Payments received at the Annuity Service Center in Good Order before Market Close will be priced within two NYSE business days after it is received. Initial Purchase Payments received at the Annuity Service Center in Good Order after Market Close will be priced within two NYSE business days after the next NYSE business day.

If we do not have complete information necessary to issue your contract, we will contact you. If we do not receive the necessary information within five NYSE business days, we will obtain your permission to keep your money until we get the information necessary to issue the contract, or we will send your money back to whomever we received the funds.

Any subsequent Purchase Payment will be priced as of the day it is received by the Annuity Service Center in Good Order before Market Close. If the subsequent Purchase Payment is received at the Annuity Service Center in Good Order after Market Close, it will be priced as of the next NYSE business day.

We invest your subsequent Purchase Payments in the Variable Portfolios and available Fixed Accounts according to any allocation instructions that accompany the subsequent Purchase Payment. If we receive a Purchase Payment without allocation instructions, we will invest the Purchase Payment according to your allocation instructions on file.

Electronic Transmission:

We will accept initial and subsequent Purchase Payments by electronic transmission from certain broker-dealer firms.

Agent of Company:

We may have an agreement in place whereby your broker-dealer may be deemed our agent for receipt of your Purchase Payments. If a broker-dealer is deemed to be our agent, Purchase Payments will be priced as of the time they are received by the broker-dealer.

You assume any risk in market fluctuations if you submit your Purchase Payment directly to a broker-dealer that does not have such an agreement, should there be a delay in that broker-dealer delivering your Purchase Payment to us. Please check with your financial representative to determine if his/her broker-dealer has an agreement with the Company that deems the broker-dealer an agent of the Company.

Automatic Payment Plan:

Once you have contributed at least the minimum initial Purchase Payment, you can establish an Automatic Payment Plan that allows you to make subsequent Purchase Payments.

Polaris Rewards Program

If you were age 80 or younger at the time your contract was issued you may have elected to participate in this program at contract issue. We contribute an upfront Payment Enhancement and, if available, a deferred Payment Enhancement to your contract in conjunction with each Purchase Payment you invest during the life of your contract. If you elected to participate in this program, all Purchase Payments are subject to a nine year withdrawal charge schedule. Please see EXPENSES below. These withdrawal charges may offset the value of any Payment Enhancement, if you make an early withdrawal. Amounts we contribute to your contract under this program are considered earnings and are allocated to your contract as described below. There may be scenarios in which due to negative market conditions and your inability to remain invested over the long-term, a contract with the Polaris Rewards program may not perform as well as the contract without the program.

Purchase Payments may not be invested in dollar cost averaging Fixed Accounts if you participate in the Polaris Rewards program. However, you may use other Fixed Account options, if available, for dollar cost averaging. Please see DOLLAR COST AVERAGING PROGRAM below.

Polaris Rewards Enhancement Levels

Each enhancement level is a range of dollar amounts, which may correspond to different enhancement rates and dates. The enhancement level applicable to your initial Purchase Payment is determined by the amount of that initial Purchase Payment. With respect to any subsequent Purchase Payments we determine your enhancement level by adding your contract value on the date we receive each subsequent Purchase Payment to the amount of the subsequent Purchase Payment. Enhancement levels may change from time to time, at our sole discretion.

Upfront Payment Enhancement

An upfront Payment Enhancement is an amount we add to your contract on the day we receive a Purchase Payment. We calculate an upfront Payment Enhancement amount as a percentage of each Purchase Payment. We refer to this percentage amount as the upfront Payment Enhancement Rate. We periodically review and establish the upfront Payment Enhancement Rate, which may increase or decrease at any time, but will never be less than 2%. The applicable upfront Payment Enhancement Rate is the rate in effect for the applicable enhancement level at the time we receive each Purchase Payment under your contract. The

upfront Payment Enhancement amounts are allocated among Variable Portfolios and available Fixed Accounts according to the current allocation instructions on file when we receive each Purchase Payment.

Deferred Payment Enhancement

A deferred Payment Enhancement is an amount we may add to your contract on a stated future date (the “deferred Payment Enhancement date”). We calculate a deferred Payment Enhancement amount, if applicable, as a percentage of each Purchase Payments received at the time we receive the Purchase Payment. We refer to this percentage amount as the deferred Payment Enhancement Rate. We periodically review and establish the deferred Payment Enhancement Rates and deferred Payment Enhancement dates. The deferred Payment Enhancement Rate being offered may increase, decrease or be eliminated by us at any time. The deferred Payment Enhancement date, if applicable, may change at any time. The applicable deferred Payment Enhancement date and deferred Payment Enhancement Rate are those which may be in effect for the applicable enhancement level at the time when we receive each Purchase Payment. Any applicable deferred Payment Enhancement, when credited, is allocated to a money market or similar portfolio.

If you withdraw any portion of a Purchase Payment, to which a deferred Payment Enhancement applies, prior to the deferred Payment Enhancement date, we reduce the amount of the corresponding deferred Payment Enhancement in the same proportion that your withdrawal (and any fees and charges associated with such withdrawals) reduces that Purchase Payment. For purposes of determining the deferred Payment Enhancement, withdrawals are assumed to be taken from earnings first, then from Purchase Payments, on a first-in-first-out basis.

We will not allocate any applicable deferred Payment Enhancement, if any, to your contract if the following circumstances occur prior to the deferred Payment Enhancement date:

•

You surrender your contract;

•

A death benefit is paid on your contract;

•

You switch to the Income Phase of your contract; or

•

You fully withdraw the corresponding Purchase Payment.

90 Day Window

As of the 90th day after your contract was issued, we will total your Purchase Payments made over those 90 days, without considering any investment gain or loss in contract value on those Purchase Payments. If your total Purchase Payments bring you to an enhancement level which, as of the date we issued your contract, would have provided for a higher upfront and/or deferred Payment Enhancement rate on each Purchase Payment, you will get the benefit of the enhancement rate(s) that were applicable to that higher

enhancement level at the time your contract was issued (“Look Back Adjustment”). We will add any applicable upfront Look Back Adjustment to your contract on the 90th day following the date of contract issue. We will send you a confirmation indicating any applicable upfront and/or deferred Look Back Adjustment, on or about the 90th day following the date of contract issuance. We will allocate any applicable upfront Look Back Adjustment according to your then current allocation instructions on file for subsequent Purchase Payments at the time we make the contribution and if applicable, to a money market or similar portfolio, for a deferred Look Back Adjustment.

Current Enhancement Levels

The Enhancement Levels, Upfront Payment Enhancement Rate, Deferred Payment Enhancement Rate and Deferred Payment Enhancement date applicable to all Purchase Payments as of the date of this prospectus are:

Enhancement Level	Upfront Payment Enhancement Rate	Deferred Payment Enhancement Rate	Deferred Payment Enhancement Date
Under $40,000	2%	0%	N/A
$40,000 – $99,999	4%	0%	N/A
$100,000 – $499,999	4%	1%	Nine years from the date we receive each Purchase Payment.
$500,000 – more	5%	1%	Nine years from the date we receive each Purchase Payment.

The Polaris Rewards program may not be available in your state or through the broker-dealer with which your financial representative is affiliated. Please check with your financial representative regarding the availability of this program.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend or terminate the Polaris Rewards program at any time for existing contracts and for subsequent Purchase Payments.

Accumulation Units

We credit your contract with Accumulation Units when you allocate a Purchase Payment to the Variable Portfolios. We determine the value of each Accumulation Unit at the close of every NYSE business day. The value of an Accumulation Unit goes up and down based on the performance of the Variable Portfolios and the fees and expenses under your contract.

The number of Accumulation Units you are credited is calculated the day we process your Purchase Payment. Please see ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS.

The Accumulation Unit value is determined by multiplying the Accumulation Unit value for the preceding NYSE business day by a factor for the current NYSE business day.

The factor is determined by:

dividing the net asset value per share of the Underlying Fund at the end of the current NYSE business day, plus any dividend or capital gains per share declared on behalf of the Underlying Fund as of that day, by the net asset value per share of the Underlying Fund for the previous NYSE business day; and

multiplying it by one minus all applicable daily asset based charges.

We determine the number of Accumulation Units credited to your contract by adding the Purchase Payment and Payment Enhancement, if applicable, and dividing that amount, by the Accumulation Unit value for the specific Variable Portfolio.

Example (Contracts Without Polaris Rewards):

We receive a $25,000 Purchase Payment from you on Wednesday. You allocate the money to Variable Portfolio A. We determine that the value of an Accumulation Unit for Variable Portfolio A is $11.10 at Market Close on Wednesday. We then divide $25,000 by $11.10 and credit your contract on Wednesday night with 2,252.2523 Accumulation Units for Variable Portfolio A.

Example (Contracts With Polaris Rewards):

We receive a $25,000 Purchase Payment from you on Wednesday. You allocate the money to Variable Portfolio A. If the Payment Enhancement is 2% of your Purchase Payment, we would add a Payment Enhancement of $500 to your contract. We determine that the value of an Accumulation Unit for Variable Portfolio A is $11.10 at Market Close on Wednesday. We then divide $25,500 by $11.10 and credit your contract on Wednesday with 2,297.2973 Accumulation Units for Variable Portfolio A.

Performance of the Variable Portfolios and the insurance charges under your contract affect Accumulation Unit values. These factors cause the value of your contract to go up and down.

Free Look

You may cancel your contract within ten days after receiving it. Your state may require a longer free look period. We call this a “free look.” Please check your contract or with your financial representative. To cancel, you must mail the contract along with your written free look request to our Annuity Service Center at P.O. Box 15570, Amarillo, Texas 79105-5570.

If you decide to cancel your contract during the free look period, generally we will refund to you the value of your

contract on the day we receive your request in Good Order at the Annuity Service Center minus the Free Look Payment Enhancement Deduction, if applicable. If you elect the Polaris Rewards feature, the Free Look Payment Enhancement Deduction is equal to the lesser of (1) the value of any Payment Enhancement(s) on the day we receive your free look request; or (2) the Payment Enhancement amount(s), if any, which we allocated to your contract. Thus, you receive any gain and we bear any loss on any Payment Enhancement(s) if you decide to cancel your contract during the free look period. Certain states require us to return your Purchase Payments upon a free look request. Additionally, all contracts issued as an IRA require the full return of Purchase Payments upon a free look.

If your contract was issued either in a state requiring return of Purchase Payments or as an IRA, and you cancel your contract during the free look period, we return the greater of (1) your Purchase Payments; or (2) the value of your contract on the day we receive your request in Good Order at the Annuity Service Center. With respect to these contracts, we reserve the right to put your money and the Payment Enhancement, if you elected the Polaris Rewards feature, in a money market or similar portfolio during the free look period and will allocate your money and the Payment Enhancement according to your instructions at the end of the applicable free look period.

Exchange Offers

From time to time, we allow you to exchange an older variable annuity issued by the Company or one of its affiliates, for a newer product with different features and benefits issued by the Company or one of its affiliates. Such an exchange offer will be made in accordance with applicable federal securities laws and state insurance rules and regulations. We will provide the specific terms and conditions of any such exchange offer at the time the offer is made.

Investment Options

You may allocate purchase payments using one or a combination of the investment options and Fixed Accounts, as may be available under your contract:

•

Variable Portfolios

•

Fixed Accounts

•

Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account

Variable Portfolios

The Variable Portfolios available under the contract invest in the Underlying Funds of the Trusts. Additional Variable Portfolios may be available in the future.

Information regarding each Underlying Fund, including (i) its name, (ii) its type, (iii) its investment advisor and any sub-investment advisor, (iv) current expenses, and (v) performance is available in an appendix to this prospectus. See APPENDIX A – UNDERLYING FUNDS AVAILABLE UNDER THE CONTRACT.

Each Underlying Fund has issued a prospectus that contains more detailed information about the Underlying Fund. Read these prospectuses carefully before investing. Paper or electronic copies of the Underlying Fund prospectuses may be obtained by calling (855) 421-2692 or visiting our website at www.corebridgefinancial.com/ProductProspectuses.

You may also obtain information about the Underlying Funds by accessing the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov.

All Variable Portfolios may not be available through the broker-dealer with which your financial representative is affiliated. Such portfolios are identified in APPENDIX A – UNDERLYING FUNDS AVAILABLE UNDER THE CONTRACT. Please check with your financial representative for availability.

From time to time, certain Variable Portfolio names are changed. When we are notified of a name change, we will make changes so that the new name is properly shown. However, until we complete the changes, we may provide you with various forms, reports and confirmations that reflect a Variable Portfolio’s prior name.

Certain Underlying Funds offered under this contract have similar investment objectives to other Underlying Funds managed by the same advisor or subadvisor. The investment results of the Underlying Funds, however, may be higher or lower than such other Underlying Funds. We do not guarantee or make any representation that the investment results of any of the Underlying Funds will be comparable to the investment results of any other Underlying Fund managed by the same advisor or subadvisor.

During periods of low short-term interest rates, and in part due to contract fees and expenses, the investment return of a money market or similar portfolio may become extremely low and possibly negative. In the case of negative returns, your investment in a money market or similar portfolio will lose value.

You can gain or lose money if you invest in these Variable

Portfolios. You are responsible for allocating Purchase

Payments to the Variable Portfolios as appropriate for your

own individual circumstances, investment goals, financial

situation and risk tolerance. You should periodically review

your allocations and values to ensure they continue to suit

your needs. You bear the risk of any decline in contract

value resulting from the performance of the Variable

Portfolio you have selected. In making your investment

selections, you should investigate all information available

to you including the Underlying Fund’s prospectus,

statement of additional information and annual and

semi-annual reports.

We do not provide investment advice, nor do we

recommend or endorse any particular Underlying Fund.

Please consult your financial representative regarding which of these Variable Portfolios are appropriate for your risk tolerance.

You should read the prospectuses for the Trusts carefully for detailed information about the Underlying Funds, including each Underlying Fund’s investment objective and risk factors.

Selection of Underlying Funds

The Underlying Funds offered through this contract are selected by us and we may consider various factors in the selection process, including but not limited to: asset class coverage, the strength of the investment advisor’s or subadvisor’s reputation and tenure, brand recognition, the alignment of the investment objectives of an Underlying Fund with our hedging strategy, performance and the capability and qualification of each investment firm.

Another factor we may consider is whether the Underlying Fund or its service providers (i.e. the investment advisor and/or subadvisor(s)) or their affiliates will make payments to us or our affiliates in connection with certain administrative, marketing and support services, or whether the Underlying Fund’s service providers have affiliates that can provide marketing and distribution support for sales of the contract. Please see PAYMENTS IN CONNECTION WITH DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACT below.

We review the Underlying Funds periodically and may make changes if we determine that an Underlying Fund no longer satisfies one or more of the selection criteria and/or if the Underlying Fund has not attracted significant allocations from contract Owners.

Fund-of-Funds

Certain Underlying Funds invest substantially all their assets in other Underlying Funds. These arrangements are referred to as Fund-of-Funds, as described below. Expenses for a Fund-of-Funds may be higher than that for other funds because a Fund-of-Funds bears its own expenses and indirectly bears its proportionate share of expenses of the Underlying Funds. As a result, you will pay higher fees and expenses under the Fund-of-Funds structure than if you invested directly in each of the Underlying Funds held in the Fund-of-Funds structure. This will reduce your investment return.

Trusts

We offer Underlying Funds of affiliated and unaffiliated Trusts. The Trusts serve as the underlying investment vehicles for other variable annuity contracts issued by the Company as well as by other insurance companies.

Neither the Company nor the Trusts believe that offering shares of the Trusts in this manner disadvantages you. The Trusts are monitored for potential conflicts. The Trusts may have other Underlying Funds, in addition to those listed here, that are not available for investment under this contract.

Unaffiliated Trusts

We offer Underlying Funds of the following unaffiliated Trusts:

•

AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) – Series II Shares

•

American Funds Insurance Series® – Class 2 Shares

•

Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust – Class Service Shares

•

Lord Abbett Series Fund, Inc. – Class VC Shares

Affiliated Trusts

We offer Underlying Funds of the following affiliated Trusts at least in part because they are managed by SunAmerica Asset Management, LLC (“SAAMCo”), an affiliate of the Company. SAAMCo engages subadvisors to provide investment advice for certain Underlying Funds. The Company and/or its affiliates may be subject to certain conflicts of interest as the Company may derive greater revenues from Variable Portfolios offered by a Trust managed by an affiliate than certain other available Variable Portfolios.

•

Seasons Series Trust — Class 3 Shares

•

SunAmerica Series Trust – Class 1 Shares

Substitution, Addition or Deletion of Variable Portfolios

We may, subject to any applicable law, make certain changes to the Variable Portfolios offered in your contract. We may offer new Variable Portfolios or stop offering existing Variable Portfolios. New Variable Portfolios may be made available to existing contract Owners, and Variable Portfolios may be closed to new or subsequent Purchase Payments, transfers or allocations. In addition, we may also liquidate the shares of any Variable Portfolio, substitute the shares of one Underlying Fund held by a Variable Portfolio for another and/or merge Variable Portfolios or cooperate in a merger of Underlying Funds. To the extent required by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, we may be required to obtain SEC approval or your approval.

Fixed Accounts

Your contract may offer a Fixed Account for a guaranteed period. Your Fixed Account interest crediting rates are guaranteed for amounts allocated to each Fixed Account for up to 1 year. Thereafter, for Fixed Accounts other than Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account options (as described below), we will declare annual Fixed Account crediting rates each contract year, and this rate will never be lower than the minimum guarantee rate as referenced in your contract. Factors that influence the declared Fixed Account renewal rate include, but are not limited to, the level of US treasury rates, credit spreads on corporate bonds and other fixed income instruments, company asset-liability matching strategies, the length of the contract withdrawal charge period and the number of years since your annuity contract was issued. You may obtain current interest rates by calling the Annuity Service Center or by speaking with your financial representative.

Please check with your financial representative regarding the availability of a Fixed Account. Allocations to the Fixed Account are obligations of the General Account. In reliance on certain exemptions and exclusions, interests in the General Account are not registered as securities under the Securities Act of 1933 and not registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. However, the disclosures in the prospectus about the Fixed Accounts are subject to certain provisions of the federal securities laws regarding the accuracy and completeness of disclosures. Please see GENERAL ACCOUNT below.

Minimum Guaranteed Interest Rate

We guarantee that the interest rate credited to amounts allocated to any Fixed Account guarantee periods will never be less than the guaranteed minimum interest rate specified in your contract. Once the rate is established, it will not change for the duration of the guarantee period. The minimum guaranteed interest rate can vary but is never lower than 1%. We determine which, if any, guarantee periods will be offered at any time in our sole discretion, unless state law requires us to do otherwise.

Interest Rate Categories

There are three categories of interest rates for money allocated to the Fixed Accounts. The applicable rate is guaranteed until the corresponding guarantee period expires. With each category of interest rate, your money may be credited a different rate as follows:

•

Initial Rate: The rate credited to any portion of the initial Purchase Payment allocated to a Fixed Account.

•

Current Rate: The rate credited to any portion of a subsequent Purchase Payment allocated to a Fixed Account.

•

Renewal Rate: The rate credited to money transferred from a Fixed Account or a Variable Portfolio into a Fixed Account and to money remaining in a Fixed Account after expiration of a guarantee period.

Transfers/Withdrawals from Fixed Accounts

There are no restrictions with respect to transferring out of or taking a withdrawal from a Fixed Account. If you make a transfer out of or a withdrawal from a Fixed Account prior to the end of a guarantee period, you will be credited the interest earned up to the time of transfer or withdrawal. When a guarantee period ends, you may leave your money in the same Fixed Account or you may reallocate your money to another Fixed Account, if available, or to the Variable Portfolios. If you do not want to leave your money in the same Fixed Account, you must contact us within 30 days after the end of the guarantee period and provide us with new allocation instructions. We do not contact you. If you do not contact us, your money will remain in the same Fixed Account where it will earn interest at the renewal rate then in effect for that Fixed Account.

We reserve the right to defer payments for a withdrawal from a Fixed Account for up to six months.

If available through our Dollar Cost Averaging Program, you may systematically transfer interest earned in available Fixed Accounts into any of the Variable Portfolios on a monthly basis. Systematic transfers may be started, changed or terminated at any time by contacting our Annuity Service Center.

Check with your financial representative about the current availability of this service.

Fixed Account Restrictions

At any time we are crediting the minimum guaranteed interest rate specified in your contract, we reserve the right to restrict your ability to invest into the Fixed Accounts. All Fixed Accounts may not be available in your state. Please check with your financial representative regarding the availability of Fixed Accounts.

If your contract offered Fixed Accounts subject to a market value adjustment, please see APPENDIX B – MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT (“MVA”) in this prospectus for additional information.

Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Accounts

You may invest initial and/or subsequent Purchase Payments in the dollar cost averaging (“DCA”) Fixed Accounts, if available. The minimum Purchase Payment amounts are as follows:

DCA Fixed Account	Minimum Purchase Payment
6-Month	$600
12-Month	$1,200

•

The DCA Fixed Accounts only accept initial and subsequent Purchase Payments because they are offered as “source” accounts exclusively to facilitate the DCA Program for a specified time period.

•

You may not make a transfer from a Variable Portfolio or available Fixed Account into a DCA Fixed Account. Please see DOLLAR COST AVERAGING PROGRAM below for more information.

•

Unless otherwise directed by you, any Purchase Payment less than the above minimum amounts will automatically be allocated to available investment options according to your current allocation instructions on file.

Purchase Payments may not be invested in DCA Fixed Accounts if you elect the Polaris Rewards program.

DCA Interest Rate Crediting

DCA Fixed Accounts credit a fixed rate of interest and can only be elected to facilitate a DCA Program. Interest is credited to amounts allocated to the DCA Fixed Accounts while your money is transferred to available investment options over certain specified time frames. The interest rates applicable to the DCA Fixed Accounts may differ from those applicable to any other Fixed Account but will never be less than the minimum guaranteed interest rate specified in your contract. The minimum guaranteed interest rate can vary but is never lower than 1%. However, when using a DCA Fixed Account, the annual interest rate is paid on a declining balance as you systematically transfer your money to available investment options. Therefore, the actual effective yield will be less than the stated annual crediting rate. We reserve the right to change the availability of DCA Fixed Accounts offered, unless state law requires us to do otherwise.

Dollar Cost Averaging Program

Under the DCA Program, you systematically transfer a specified dollar amount or percentage of contract value from a Variable Portfolio, available Fixed Account or DCA Fixed Account (“source account”) to any available investment options (“target account”).

The DCA Program allows you to invest gradually in available investment options at no additional cost. The DCA Program is designed to lessen the impact of market fluctuations on your investment. However, the DCA Program can neither guarantee a profit nor protect your investment against a loss. When you elect the DCA Program, you are continuously investing in securities fluctuating at different price levels. You should consider your tolerance for investing through periods of fluctuating price levels.

Example of DCA Program

Assume that you want to move $750 each month from one Variable Portfolio to another Variable Portfolio over six

months. You set up a DCA Program and purchase Accumulation Units at the following values:

Month	Accumulation Unit Value	Units Purchased
1	$7.50	100
2	$5.00	150
3	$10.00	75
4	$7.50	100
5	$5.00	150
6	$7.50	100

You paid an average price of only $6.67 per Accumulation Unit over six months, while the average market price actually was $7.08. By investing an equal amount of money each month, you automatically buy more Accumulation Units when the market price is low and fewer Accumulation Units when the market price is high. This example is for illustrative purposes only.

DCA Program Guidelines

•

Fixed Accounts are not available as target accounts for the DCA Program.

•

Transfers occur on a monthly periodic schedule.

•

The minimum transfer amount under the DCA Program is $100 per transaction, regardless of the source account.

•

Transfers resulting from your participation in the DCA Program are not counted towards the number of free transfers per contract year.

Allocation of Subsequent Purchase Payments to DCA Program

If you choose to allocate subsequent Purchase Payments to an active DCA Program with an available Fixed Account serving as the source account, the rate applicable to that Fixed Account at the time we receive the subsequent Purchase Payment will apply. Further, we will begin transferring subsequent Purchase Payments into your target account allocations on the same day of the month as the initial active DCA Program. Therefore, you may not receive a full 30 days of interest prior to the first transfer to the target account(s). Please see DOLLAR COST AVERAGING FIXED ACCOUNTS above for more information.

Termination of DCA Program

You may terminate the DCA Program at any time. If you terminate the DCA Program and money remains in the DCA Fixed Account(s), we transfer the remaining money according to your current allocation instructions on file.

Upon notification of your death, we will terminate the DCA Program and transfer the remaining money according to the current allocation instructions on file.

Automatic Asset Rebalancing Program

Market fluctuations may cause the percentage of your investment in the Variable Portfolios to differ from your original allocations. Automatic Asset Rebalancing typically involves shifting portions of your money into and out of investment options so that the resulting allocations are consistent with your current investment instructions.

Under the Automatic Asset Rebalancing Program:

•

You may elect to have your investments in the Variable Portfolios and/or Fixed Accounts, if available, periodically rebalanced to return your allocations to preselected percentages for no additional charge.

•

At your request, rebalancing occurs on a quarterly, semiannual or annual basis.

•

Transfers resulting from your participation in this program are not counted against the number of free transfers per contract year.

Changes to Rebalancing Instructions

If you make a transfer, you must provide updated rebalancing instructions. If you do not provide new rebalancing instructions at the time you make such transfer, we will change your ongoing rebalancing instructions to reflect the percentage allocations among the new Variable Portfolios and/or Fixed Accounts, if available, resulting from your transfer which will replace any previous rebalancing instructions you may have provided (“Default Rebalancing Instructions”). You may change any applicable Default Rebalancing Instructions at any time by contacting the Annuity Service Center. If we cannot complete automatic rebalancing according to your current instructions due to Variable Portfolio changes, we reserve the right to allocate the applicable amounts that would have been transferred to the impacted Variable Portfolio(s) to a money market option available under the contract.

Upon notification of your death, we will terminate the Automatic Asset Rebalancing Program.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend or terminate the Automatic Asset Rebalancing Program at any time and we will notify you 30 days prior to exercising that right. In the event of modification, we will administer the program according to the parameters of the modification. In the event of suspension or termination of the program, we will no longer administer the program and your investments will no longer be rebalanced.

Return Plus Program

The Return Plus program, available only if we are offering multi-year Fixed Accounts and available for no additional charge, allocates your investment strategically between the Fixed Accounts and Variable Portfolios. You decide how much you want to invest and approximately when you want a return of Purchase Payments. We calculate how much of

your Purchase Payment to allocate to the particular Fixed Account to ensure that it grows to an amount equal to your total Purchase Payment invested under this program. We invest the rest of your Purchase Payment in the Variable Portfolio(s) according to your allocation instructions.

Example of Return Plus Program:

Assume that you want to allocate a portion of your initial Purchase Payment of $100,000 to a multi-year Fixed Account. You want the amount allocated to the multi-year Fixed Account to grow to $100,000 in 3 years. If the 3-year Fixed Account is offering a 4% interest rate, Return Plus will allocate $88,900 to the 3-year Fixed Account to ensure that this amount will grow to $100,000 at the end of the 3-year period. The remaining $11,100 may be allocated among the Variable Portfolios according to your allocation instructions.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend or terminate the Return Plus program at any time.

Transfers During the Accumulation Phase

Subject to the Company’s rules, restrictions and policies (including short term trading policies) described below, you may transfer funds between the Variable Portfolios and/or any available Fixed Accounts.

•

Funds already in your contract cannot be transferred into the DCA Fixed Accounts, if available.

•

You must transfer at least $100 per transfer.

•

If less than $100 remains in any Variable Portfolio or Fixed Account after a transfer, that amount must be transferred as well.

Telephone/Internet Authorization

We may accept transfers by telephone or the internet unless you tell us not to on your contract application. When

receiving instructions over the telephone or the internet, we have procedures to provide reasonable assurance that the transactions executed are genuine.

Transfer Fees

There is no charge for your first 15 transfers in any contract year. We charge for transfers in excess of 15 in any contract year. The fee is $25 for each transfer exceeding this limit. Transfers resulting from your participation in the DCA or Automatic Asset Rebalancing Programs are not counted towards the number of free transfers per contract year.

Please see APPENDIX D - STATE CONTRACT AVAILABILITY AND/OR VARIABILITY for state-specific fees.

Accepting Transfer Requests

We cannot guarantee that we will be able to accept telephone, fax and/or internet transfer instructions at all times. Any telephone, fax or computer system, whether it is yours, your broker-dealer’s, or ours, can experience outages or delays for a variety of reasons and may prevent our processing of your transfer request. If telephone, fax and/or internet access is unavailable, you must make your transfer request in writing by U.S. Mail to our Annuity Service Center at the address above.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend or terminate telephone, fax and/or internet transfer privileges at any time and we will notify you prior to exercising the right of suspension.

Pricing Transfer Requests

Any transfer request will be priced as of the day it is received by us in Good Order if the request is received before Market Close. If the transfer request is received after Market Close, the request will be priced as of the next NYSE business day.

Short-Term Trading Policies

This variable annuity contract is not designed to support frequent trading or trading strategies that seek to benefit from short-term price fluctuations or price inefficiencies in the Variable Portfolios of this product (“Short-Term Trading”) and we discourage Short-Term Trading as more fully described below.

Risks of Short-Term Trading

Short-Term Trading may create risks that may result in adverse effects on the investment return of the Underlying Fund in which a Variable Portfolio invests. Such risks may include, but are not limited to: (1) interference with the management and planned investment strategies of an

Underlying Fund; (2) dilution of the interests in the Underlying Fund due to practices such as “arbitrage”; and/or (3) increased brokerage and administrative costs due to forced and unplanned fund turnover. These circumstances may reduce the value of the Variable Portfolio. In addition to negatively impacting the Owner, a reduction in contract value may also be harmful to Annuitants and/or Beneficiaries.

We have adopted the following administrative procedures to discourage Short-Term Trading which are summarized below.

Standard U.S. Mail Policy

Under the Standard U.S. Mail Policy, all transfers must be submitted by U.S. Mail for 12-months. The 15th transfer in a 12-month look-back period (“12-Month Rolling Period”) triggers the Standard U.S. Mail Policy.

Transfer Requests under the U.S. Mail Policy

•

While the U.S. Mail Policy is in effect, we will not accept transfer requests sent by any other method except U.S. Mail.

•

Transfer requests required to be submitted by U.S. Mail can only be cancelled by a written request sent by U.S. Mail with the appropriate paperwork received prior to the execution of the transfer.

•

All transfers made on the same day prior to Market Close are considered one transfer request for purposes of applying the Short-Term Trading policy and calculating the number of free transfers.

•

Transfers resulting from your participation in the DCA or Automatic Asset Rebalancing Programs are not included for the purposes of determining the number of transfers before applying the Standard U.S. Mail Policy.

•

We apply the Standard U.S. Mail Policy uniformly and consistently to all contract Owners except for omnibus group contracts. See Omnibus Group Contracts below for more information.

Example

For example, if you made a transfer on August 21, 2025 and within the previous twelve months (from August 22, 2024 forward) you made 15 transfers including the August 21st transfer, then all transfers made for twelve months after August 21, 2025 must be submitted by U.S. Mail (from August 22, 2025 through August 21, 2026).

Accelerated U.S. Mail Policy

We may become aware of transfer patterns among the Variable Portfolios and/or Fixed Accounts which appear to be Short-Term Trading or otherwise detrimental to the Variable Portfolios but have not yet triggered the Standard U.S. Mail Policy described above. If such transfer activity

comes to our attention, we may require you to adhere to our Standard U.S. Mail Policy prior to reaching the specified number of transfers.

Additional Short-Term Trading Restrictions

To the extent we become aware of Short-Term Trading activities which cannot be reasonably controlled solely by the Standard U.S. Mail Policy or the Accelerated U.S. Mail Policy, we reserve the right to evaluate, in our sole discretion, whether to:

impose further limits on the size, manner, number and/or frequency of transfers you can make;

impose minimum holding periods;

reject any Purchase Payment or transfer request;

terminate your transfer privileges; and/or

request that you surrender your contract.

We will notify you in writing if your transfer privileges are modified, suspended or terminated. In addition, we reserve the right not to accept or otherwise restrict transfers from a third party acting for you and not to accept pre-authorized transfer forms.

Enforcement Determination Factors

Some of the factors we may consider when determining whether to accelerate the Standard U.S. Mail Policy, reject transfers or impose other conditions on transfer privileges include:

•

the number of transfers made in a defined period;

•

the dollar amount of the transfer;

•

the total assets of the Variable Portfolio involved in the transfer and/or transfer requests that represent a significant portion of the total assets of the Variable Portfolio;

•

the investment objectives and/or asset classes of the particular Variable Portfolio involved in your transfers;

•

whether the transfer appears to be part of a pattern of transfers to take advantage of short-term market fluctuations or market inefficiencies;

•

the history of transfer activity in the contract or in other contracts we may offer; and/or

•

other activity, as determined by us, that creates an appearance, real or perceived, of Short-Term Trading or the possibility of Short-Term Trading.

Applicability to Third Party Trading Services

The Standard and Accelerated U.S. Mail Policies are applied uniformly and consistently to contract Owners utilizing third party trading services/strategies performing asset allocation services for a number of contract Owners at the same time. You should be aware that such third party trading services may engage in transfer activities that can also be detrimental to the Variable Portfolios, including trading

relatively large groups of contracts simultaneously. These transfer activities may not be intended to take advantage of short-term price fluctuations or price inefficiencies. However, such activities can create the same or similar risks as Short-Term Trading and negatively impact the Variable Portfolios as described above.

Deterrence Limitations

Notwithstanding the administrative procedures above, there are limitations on the effectiveness of these procedures. Our ability to detect and/or deter Short-Term Trading is limited by operational systems and technological limitations, as well as our ability to predict strategies employed by contract Owners (or those acting on their behalf) to avoid detection. We cannot guarantee that we will detect and/or deter all Short-Term Trading and it is likely that some level of Short-Term Trading will occur before it is detected and steps are taken to deter it. To the extent that we are unable to detect and/or deter Short-Term Trading, the Variable Portfolios may be negatively impacted as described above.

Additionally, the Variable Portfolios may be harmed by transfer activity related to other insurance companies and/or retirement plans or other investors that invest in shares of the Underlying Fund. Moreover, our ability to deter Short-Term Trading may be limited by decisions by state regulatory bodies and court orders which we cannot predict.

You should be aware that the design of our administrative procedures involves inherently subjective decisions which we attempt to make in a fair and reasonable manner consistent with the interests of all Owners of this contract. We do not enter into agreements with contract Owners whereby we permit or intentionally disregard Short-Term Trading.

Omnibus Group Contracts

Omnibus group contracts may invest in the same Underlying Funds available in your contract but on an aggregate, not individual basis. Thus, we have limited ability to detect Short-Term Trading in omnibus group contracts and the Standard U.S. Mail Policy does not apply to these contracts. Our inability to detect Short-Term Trading may negatively impact the Variable Portfolios as described above.

We reserve the right to modify the policies and procedures described in the TRANSFERS DURING THE ACCUMULATION PHASE section at any time. To the extent that we exercise this reservation of rights, we will do so uniformly and consistently unless we disclose otherwise.

Underlying Funds’ Short-Term Trading Policies

Please note that the Underlying Funds have their own policies and procedures (outlined in their respective prospectus) with respect to frequent purchases and redemptions of their respective shares which may be more or less restrictive than ours.

•

We reserve the right to enforce these Underlying Fund policies and procedures, including, but not limited to, the right to collect a redemption fee on shares of the Underlying Fund if imposed by such Underlying Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors. As of the date of this prospectus, none of the Underlying Funds impose a redemption fee.

•

We also reserve the right to reject, with or without prior notice, any purchase, transfer or allocation into a Variable Portfolio if the corresponding Underlying Fund will not accept such purchase, transfer or allocation for any reason.

We are obligated to execute instructions from the Underlying Funds to restrict or prohibit further purchases or transfers in an Underlying Fund under certain circumstances.

Processing Omnibus Orders

Many investments in the Underlying Funds outside of these contracts are omnibus orders from intermediaries such as other separate accounts or retirement plans. If an Underlying Fund’s policies and procedures fail to successfully detect and discourage Short-Term Trading, there may be a negative impact to the Owners of the Underlying Fund. If an Underlying Fund believes that an omnibus order we submit may reflect transfer requests from Owners engaged in Short-Term Trading, the Underlying Fund may reject the entire omnibus order and delay or prevent us from implementing your transfer request.

Required Information Sharing

Under rules adopted by the SEC, we also have written agreements with the Underlying Funds that obligate us to, among other things, provide the Underlying Funds promptly upon request certain information about you (e.g., your social security number) and your trading activity.

Transfers During the Income Phase

During the Income Phase, only one transfer per month is permitted between the Variable Portfolios. No other transfers are allowed during the Income Phase. Transfers will be effected for the last NYSE business day of the month in which we receive your request for the transfer.

You may not use the DCA Program or the Automatic Asset Rebalancing Program during the Income Phase.

Voting Rights

The Company is the legal owner of the Trusts’ shares. However, when an Underlying Fund solicits proxies in conjunction with a shareholder vote, we must obtain your instructions on how to vote those shares. We vote all of the shares we own in proportion to your instructions. This includes any shares we own on our own behalf. As a result of this proportionate voting, the vote of a small number of contract Owners can determine the outcome of a vote.

Should we determine that we are no longer required to vote in the manner described above, we will vote the shares in our own right.

Access to your Money

You can access money in your contract in one of the following ways:

•

Partial Withdrawal;

•

Systematic Withdrawal;

•

Total Withdrawal (also known as surrender); or

•

Annuity Income Payment (during Income Phase).

Withdrawals made prior to age 59½ may result in a 10% IRS penalty tax. Certain Qualified plans restrict and/or prohibit your ability to withdraw money from your contract. Please see TAXES.

Minimum Withdrawal Amount and Minimum Contract Value

	Minimum Withdrawal Amount	Minimum Contract Value(1)
Partial Withdrawal	$1,000	$500 (2)
Systematic Withdrawal	$100	$500(2)

(1)

The value left in any Variable Portfolio or available Fixed Account must be at least $100 after a withdrawal.

(2)

The total contract value must be at least $500 after a withdrawal.

Where permitted by state law, we may terminate your contract if both of the following occur: (1) your contract value is less than $500 as a result of withdrawals; and (2) you have not made any Purchase Payments during the past three years. We will provide you with sixty days written notice that your contract is being terminated. At the end of the notice period, we will distribute the contract’s remaining value to you.

Penalty-Free Withdrawal Amount

Your contract provides for a penalty-free withdrawal amount each contract year during the applicable withdrawal period. The penalty-free withdrawal amount is the portion of your contract that we allow you to take out without being charged a withdrawal charge. The penalty-free withdrawal amount does not reduce the basis used to calculate future annual penalty-free withdrawals and withdrawal charges.

To determine your penalty-free withdrawal amount and your withdrawal charge, we refer to two special terms: “penalty-free earnings” and “total invested amount.”

Penalty-free earnings are equal to your contract value less your total invested amount and may be withdrawn free of a withdrawal charge at any time, including upon a full surrender of your contract. Purchase Payments that are no longer subject to a withdrawal charge and not previously withdrawn may also be withdrawn free of a withdrawal charge at any time. The total invested amount is the sum of

all Purchase Payments less portions of prior withdrawals that reduce your total invested amount as follows:

•

Penalty-free withdrawals in any year that were in excess of your penalty-free earnings and were based on the portion of the total invested amount that was no longer subject to withdrawal charges at the time of the withdrawal; and

•

Any prior withdrawals (including withdrawal charges applicable to those withdrawals) of the total invested amount on which you already paid a withdrawal charge.

During the first contract year, your maximum annual

penalty-free withdrawal amount is the greater of:

(1)your penalty-free earnings; or

(2)if you are participating in the Systematic

Withdrawal program, a total of 10% of your total

invested amount

After the first contract year, your maximum annual

penalty-free withdrawal amount is the greater of:

(1)your penalty-free earnings; or

(2)10% of the portion of your total invested amount

that has been in your contract for at least one

year and still subject to a withdrawal charge

If, in any contract year, you choose to take less than the full penalty-free withdrawal amount, then you may not carry over the unused amount as an additional penalty-free withdrawal in subsequent years.

If you participate in the Polaris Rewards program, you will not receive any deferred Payment Enhancement if you fully withdraw a Purchase Payment or if you surrender your contract prior to the corresponding Deferred Payment Enhancement Date.

Although we do not assess a withdrawal charge when you take a 10% free withdrawal of the total invested amount we will proportionally reduce the amount of any corresponding Deferred Payment Enhancement. Please see POLARIS REWARDS PROGRAM above.

Assessment of Withdrawal Charges

We deduct a withdrawal charge applicable to any amount of a partial or total withdrawal in excess of your penalty-free withdrawal amount made before the end of the withdrawal charge period. Before purchasing this contract, you should consider the effect of withdrawal charges on your investment if you need to withdraw more than the annual penalty-free amount during the withdrawal charge period. You should fully discuss this decision with your financial representative.

The withdrawal charge percentage is determined by the number of years the Purchase Payment has been in the contract at the time of the withdrawal. Please see WITHDRAWAL CHARGES and EXPENSES.

When you make a partial withdrawal, we deduct it from penalty-free earnings first, any remaining penalty-free withdrawal amount, and then from the total invested amount on a first-in, first-out basis. This means that you can also access your Purchase Payments, which are no longer subject to a withdrawal charge before those Purchase Payments, which are still subject to the withdrawal charges or higher withdrawal charges.

If you request a total withdrawal (surrender) of your contract, we may also deduct any premium taxes, if applicable. If you fully surrender your contract, withdrawal charges will be assessed against the amount of Purchase Payments subject to withdrawal charges. This means that, if you surrender your contract while withdrawal charges still apply, any prior penalty-free withdrawal amounts taken in the current contract year are not subtracted from the total Purchase Payments still subject to withdrawal charges. Please see EXPENSES.

Calculating Withdrawal Charges

For the purpose of calculating the withdrawal charge if you request a total withdrawal of your contract, any prior penalty-free withdrawal amount, including a required minimum distribution, in the current contract year is not subtracted from the total Purchase Payments still subject to withdrawal charges.

Example:

For example, you make an initial Purchase Payment of $100,000. For purposes of this example we will assume a 0% growth rate over the life of the contract, no subsequent Purchase Payments and no election of optional features, if applicable. In contract year 2, you take out your maximum penalty-free withdrawal of $10,000. After that penalty-free withdrawal your contract value is $90,000. In the 3rd contract year, you request a total withdrawal of your contract. We will apply the following calculation:

A–(B × C)=D, where:

A=
Your contract value at the time of your request for withdrawal ($90,000)

B=
The amount of your Purchase Payments still subject to withdrawal charge ($100,000)

C=
The withdrawal charge percentage applicable to the age of each Purchase Payment (assuming 5% is the applicable percentage) [B × C=$5,000]

D=
Your full contract value ($85,000) available for total withdrawal

Required Minimum Distributions

If you are taking required minimum distributions applicable to this contract only, we waive any withdrawal charges applicable to those withdrawals. Please see TAXES for details regarding required minimum distributions.

Annuity Income Payments

Any time after your second contract anniversary, you may receive annuity income payments for a specified period of time and at a frequency as elected by you. We will waive any applicable withdrawal charges upon processing of your request to annuitize the contract. Please see ANNUITY INCOME OPTIONS.

Processing Withdrawal Requests

A request to access money from your contract, as outlined above, must be submitted in writing and in Good Order to the Annuity Service Center at the following address. Withdrawals are processed effective the date they are deemed in Good Order and payments are made within 7 days. If you take a partial withdrawal, you can choose whether any applicable withdrawal charges are deducted from the amount withdrawn or from the contract value remaining after the amount withdrawn. If you fully surrender your contract value, we deduct any applicable withdrawal charges from the amount surrendered.

For withdrawals of $500,000 and more, you are required to include a signature guarantee issued by your broker-dealer which verifies the validity of your signature.

Annuity Service Center

P.O. Box 15570

Amarillo, TX 79105-5570

Any request for withdrawal will be priced as of the day it is received by us in Good Order at the Annuity Service Center, if the request is received before Market Close. If the request for withdrawal is received after Market Close, the request will be priced as of the next NYSE business day. Withdrawals are processed effective the date they are deemed in Good Order and payments are made within 7 days.

We may be required to suspend or postpone the payment of a withdrawal for any period of time when: (1) the NYSE is closed (other than a customary weekend and holiday closings); (2) trading with the NYSE is restricted; (3) an emergency exists such that disposal of or determination of the value of shares of the Variable Portfolios is not reasonably practicable; (4) the SEC, by order, so permits for the protection of contract Owners.

Additionally, we reserve the right to defer payments for a withdrawal from a Fixed Account for up to six months.

Partial, Systematic, and Required Minimum Distributions

Partial withdrawals, systematic withdrawals and required minimum distributions will be made proportionately from each Variable Portfolio and the Fixed Account in which you are invested, unless you provide different instructions.

If you surrender your contract, we may deduct any premium taxes, if applicable. Please see EXPENSES.

Total Withdrawals

We calculate withdrawal charges upon total withdrawal of the contract on the day after we receive your request in Good Order. Any prior penalty-free withdrawal amount in the current contract year is not subtracted from the total Purchase Payments still subject to withdrawal charges. We will return your contract value less any applicable fees and charges within 7 calendar days of the request.

Systematic Withdrawal Program

During the Accumulation Phase, you may elect to receive periodic withdrawals under the Systematic Withdrawal Program for no additional charge. Under the program, you may choose to take monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual payments from your contract. Electronic transfer of these periodic withdrawals to your bank account is available.

Please contact our Annuity Service Center which can provide the necessary enrollment forms. A withdrawal charge may apply if the amount of the periodic withdrawals in any year exceeds the penalty-free withdrawal amount permitted each year.

Upon notification of your death, we will terminate the Systematic Withdrawal Program unless your Beneficiary instructs us otherwise.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend or terminate the Systematic Withdrawal Program at any time and we will notify you prior to exercising that right.

Nursing Home Waiver

If you are confined to a nursing home for 60 days or longer, we may waive the withdrawal charge on partial or total withdrawals made while you are in a nursing home or within 90 days after you leave the nursing home.

•

You cannot use this waiver during the first 90 days after your contract is issued.

•

The confinement period for which you seek the waiver must begin after you purchase your contract.

•

We will only waive withdrawal charges on withdrawals paid directly to the contract owner, and not to a third party or other financial services company.

In order to use this waiver, you must submit the following documents to the Annuity Service Center:

a doctor’s note recommending admittance to a nursing home;

an admittance form which shows the type of facility you entered; and

the bill from the nursing home which shows that you met the 60 day confinement requirement.

OPTIONAL Living Benefit

Income Protector

Income Protector is a minimum income benefit and provides a future “safety net” which can offer you the ability to receive a guaranteed fixed minimum retirement income when you switch to the Income Phase. With Income Protector, you can know the level of minimum income that will be available to you upon annuitization, regardless of fluctuating market conditions. Income Protector is available on contracts issued prior to May 1, 2006.

The minimum level of Income Protector benefit available is generally based upon the Purchase Payments remaining in your contract at the time you decide to begin taking income. If available and elected, a growth rate can provide increased levels of minimum guaranteed income.

If you purchased your contract between November 2, 1998 and March 31, 1999 and the Income Protector was available in your state at that time, other options were available under Income Protector, please see details below.

How We Determine the Amount of Your Minimum Guaranteed Income

If you elect Income Protector, we base the amount of minimum income available to you upon a calculation we call the Income Benefit Base. Your Income Benefit Base is equal to your contract value on the date of election. Income Protector is effective on either the date of issue of the contract or at the contract anniversary following your election of Income Protector.

The Income Benefit Base is only a calculation. It does not represent a contract value, nor does it guarantee performance of the Variable Portfolios in which you invest.

Your Income Benefit Base increases if you make subsequent Purchase Payments and decreases if you withdraw money from your contract. The Income Benefit Base is equal to (a) plus (b) minus (c) where:

(a)

is equal to, for the first year of calculation, your initial Purchase Payment, or for each subsequent year of calculation, the Income Benefit Base on the prior contract anniversary, and;

(b)

is equal to the sum of all subsequent Purchase Payments made into the contract since the date of election, and;

(c)

is equal to all withdrawals and applicable fees and charges since the date of election, in an amount proportionate to the amount by which such withdrawals decreased your contract value.

In order to obtain the benefit of Income Protector, you may not begin the Income Phase for at least 7 years following election. You may not elect this feature if the required waiting period before beginning the Income Phase would occur later than your Latest Annuity Date.

Re-Set of Your Income Protector Benefit

You may also have the opportunity to “Re-Set” your Income Benefit Base. The Re-Set feature allows you to increase your Income Benefit Base to the amount of your contract value on your next contract anniversary. You can only Re-Set within the 30 days before your next contract anniversary. Upon a Re-Set, the waiting period before you can begin the Income Phase will start over. In addition, the Income Protector fee will be charged as a percentage of your Re-Set Income Benefit Base. You may not elect to Re-Set if the required waiting period before beginning the Income Phase would occur later than your Latest Annuity Date.

Electing to Receive Income Payments

You may elect to begin the Income Phase of your contract using the Income Protector Program only within the 30 days after the 7th or later contract anniversary following the effective date of electing Income Protector or Re-Set, if applicable.

The Income Benefit Date is the contract anniversary date on which the Income Benefit is calculated and applied. This is the date as of which we calculate your Income Benefit Base to use in determining your guaranteed minimum income payments. To arrive at the minimum guaranteed income payments available to you, we apply the annuity rates stated in your Income Protector Endorsement for the income option you select to your final Income Benefit Base. You then choose if you would like to receive that income annually, quarterly or monthly for the time guaranteed under your selected annuity option. Your final Income Benefit Base is equal to (a) minus (b) where:

(a)

is your Income Benefit Base as of your Income Benefit Date, and;

(b)

is any withdrawal charges calculated as if you fully surrender your contract as of the Income Benefit Date, and any applicable premium taxes.

The annuity income options available under this feature when using Income Protector to receive your guaranteed income payments are:

•

Life Annuity with 10 Year Period Certain, or

•

Joint and 100% Survivor Annuity with 20 Year Period Certain

At the time you elect to begin receiving annuity income payments, we will calculate your annual guaranteed income payments using both your final Income Benefit Base and your contract value. We will use the same income option for each calculation; however, the annuity factors used to calculate your guaranteed income payments under Income Protector will be different. You will receive whichever provides a greater stream of income. If you annuitize using Income Protector, your annuity income payments will be fixed in amount. You are not required to use Income Protector to receive income payments.

You may never need to rely upon the Income Protector, if your contract performs within a historically anticipated range. However, past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Fees Associated with the Income Protector Program

There is no fee for the Income Protector Base program.

If you purchased your contract between November 2, 1998 and March 31, 1999, the following applies only to the Income Protector option you may have elected:

Options available for contracts issued between November 2, 1998 and March 31, 1999:

	Growth Rate	Fee as a % of Your Income Benefit Base	Waiting Period
Income Protector Base	0%	0%	7 years
Income Protector Plus	3.25%	0.15%	7 years
Income Protector Max	6.50%	0.30%	7 years

Income Protector provides three alternative levels of minimum retirement income. The base Income Protector is a standard feature of all PolarisII contracts issued after November 2, 1998, if the feature is available for sale in your state. There is no additional charge associated with the Income Protector Base feature. If elected, the Income Protector Plus and Income Protector Max options can provide increased levels of minimum guaranteed income. We charge a fee for each of these alternatives, see table above.

We deduct the annual fee from your contract value. If you elect Income Protector Plus or Income Protector Max at issue, we begin deducting the annual fee on your first contract anniversary. We will deduct the charge from your contract value on every contract anniversary up to and including your Income Benefit Date. Additionally, we deduct the full annual fee from your contract value upon surrender. If you elect the feature at some later date, we begin deducting the annual fee on the contract anniversary following the date of election. We will not refund fees paid for Income Protector if you annuitize under the annuity provisions of your contract under the Income Protector Plus or Income Protector Max options.

For the Income Protector Plus or Income Protector Max options, the Income Benefit Base accumulates at one of the annual growth rates, see table above, from the date your election in the alternative becomes effective through your election to begin receiving income under the feature. The growth rates for the Income Protector Plus or Income Protector Max options cease on the contract anniversary following the Annuitant’s 90th birthday.

In order to obtain the benefit of the Income Protector Plus or Income Protector Max option, you may not begin the Income Phase for at least 7 years following your election of the option. Thus, you must make your election prior to the later of:

•

your 83rd birthday; or

•

your 3rd contract anniversary.

Note to Qualified Contract Holders

Qualified contracts generally require that you select an annuity income option that does not exceed your life expectancy. That restriction, if it applies to you, may limit the benefit of Income Protector. To utilize Income Protector, you must take annuity income payments under one of the two annuity income options described above. If those annuity income options exceed your life expectancy, you may be prohibited from receiving your guaranteed income payments under the feature. If you own a Qualified contract to which these restrictions apply and you elect Income Protector, you may pay for this feature and not be able to realize the benefit. A guarantee of payments greater than 10 years may not be available to all Beneficiaries. Under certain circumstances the Beneficiary’s annuity income payments may be limited based on the Internal Revenue Code.

You should consult your tax advisor for information concerning your particular circumstances.

Please see Appendix G for examples of how your Living Benefit is calculated.

Death Benefits

You must elect one of the death benefit options at the time you purchase your contract. Some options are available for an additional fee, as described later in this section. Once elected, you cannot change your death benefit option. You should discuss the available options with your financial representative to determine which option is best for you.

We do not pay a death benefit if:

•

your contract value is reduced to zero; or

•

you die after you begin the Income Phase. Your Beneficiary would receive any remaining guaranteed annuity income payments in accordance with the annuity income option you selected. Please see ANNUITY INCOME OPTIONS.

We pay a death benefit to your Beneficiary(ies) if you die during the Accumulation Phase. The death benefit will become payable upon death of the following individual.

Owner	Payable Upon Death of
Natural persons	Owner (or first to die, if jointly owned)
Non-natural person (e.g. Trust)	Annuitant

Beneficiary Designation

You must notify us in writing of the Beneficiary(ies) who will receive any death benefit payments under your contract. You may change the Beneficiary at any time, unless otherwise specified below.

•

If your contract is jointly owned, the surviving joint Owner must be the sole primary Beneficiary. Any other individual you designate as Beneficiary will be the contingent Beneficiary.

•

If the Owner is a non-natural person then joint Annuitants, if any, shall be each other’s sole primary Beneficiary, except when the Owner is a charitable remainder trust.

•

If the Owner is a trust, whether as an agent for a natural person or otherwise, you should consult with your tax and/or legal adviser to determine whether this contract is an appropriate trust investment.

Death Benefit Processing

We process death benefit requests when we receive all required documentation, including satisfactory proof of death, in Good Order, at the Annuity Service Center.

Satisfactory proof of death includes, but may not be

limited to:

(1)A certified copy of the death certificate; or

(2)A certified copy of a decree of a court of

competent jurisdiction as to the finding of death;

(3)A written statement by a medical doctor who

attended the deceased at the time of death.

When Death Benefits are Calculated

•

All death benefit calculations are made as of the day required documentation is received in Good Order at the Annuity Service Center before Market Close. If the death benefit request is received after Market Close, the death benefit calculation will be made as of the next NYSE business day.

The contract value will remain invested pursuant to the Owner's latest allocation instructions on file subject to the limitations described in this prospectus, until we receive notification of death and/or death claim paperwork in Good

Order. Thereafter, a Beneficiary may elect one of the death settlement options by contacting the Annuity Service Center.

If we receive notification of the Owner’s death before any previously requested transaction is completed (including systematic transfer and withdrawal programs), we will cancel the previously requested transaction.

For contracts in which the aggregate of all Purchase Payments in contracts issued by any Corebridge Financial company to the same Owner/Annuitant are in excess of the Purchase Payments Limit, we reserve the right to limit the death benefit amount that is in excess of contract value at the time we receive all paperwork and satisfactory proof of death. Any limit on the maximum death benefit payable would be mutually agreed upon in writing by you and the Company prior to purchasing the contract.

Death Benefit Settlement Options

Your Beneficiary must elect one of the following settlement options after providing required documentation, including satisfactory proof of death, in Good Order.

•

Lump sum payment; or

•

Annuity Income Option; or

•

Continue the contract as the spousal Beneficiary, or under a Beneficiary continuation option; or

•

Payment option that is mutually agreeable between you and us

In general, the death benefit must be paid within 5 years of the date of death unless the Beneficiary elects to have it payable in the form of an annuity income option. If the Beneficiary elects an annuity income option, it must be paid over the Beneficiary’s life expectancy or a shorter period. Payments associated with such election must begin within one year of death. Federal tax law may limit the Beneficiary’s death benefit and payout options available after your death. Please see ANNUITY INCOME OPTIONS.

Beneficiary Continuation Programs

Please consult a tax adviser regarding tax implications about your particular circumstances if you are considering a Beneficiary Continuation option.

Extended Legacy Program

The Beneficiary to an existing contract issued by the Company may elect the Extended Legacy Program, if available. This program may not be elected in conjunction with any other settlement option.

Upon election of the Extended Legacy Program:

•

The contract continues in original Owner’s name for the benefit of the Beneficiary who elected the Extended Legacy Program.

•

The Beneficiary may withdraw all or a portion of the contract value at any time and withdrawals are not subject to withdrawal charges.

•

The Beneficiary may choose to participate in the Systematic Withdrawal Program and the Automatic Asset Rebalancing Program.

Upon election of the Extended Legacy Program, the beneficiary may choose to receive the death benefit under (1) a 5-year settlement option or (2) in the form of withdrawals for a longer period of time:

Under the 5-year settlement option, the Beneficiary may take withdrawals as desired, but the death benefit proceeds must be distributed no later than five years from the date of death of the Owner.

Note: If an IRA Owner died prior to January 1, 2020, the 5-year settlement option is not available if the date of the Owner's death occurred after the required beginning date for distributions.

If the Beneficiary elects to take the death benefit in the form of withdrawals over a longer period of time:

•

Generally, IRS required minimum distributions must be made at least annually over a period not to exceed the Beneficiary’s life expectancy as determined in the calendar year after the Owner’s death, with the flexibility to withdraw more than the IRS required minimum distribution. Certain Beneficiaries may not be able to take minimum distributions over their life expectancy.

•

Payments must begin no later than the first anniversary of death for Non-Qualified contracts or December 31 of the year following the year of the Owner’s death for IRAs.

Note: for IRAs, if the Owner’s death occurred on or after January 1, 2020, choosing to receive the death benefit in the form of withdrawals for a longer period of time is only available for a Spousal Beneficiary or a Non-Spousal Beneficiary who is less than 10 years younger than the IRA Owner. Non-Spousal Beneficiaries may instead elect the 5-year settlement option, if available.

If the contract value is less than the death benefit amount as of the date we receive satisfactory proof of death and all required documentation in Good Order, we will increase the contract value by the amount which the death benefit exceed contract value.

We will process an Extended Legacy election as of the

date we receive the following in Good Order at the Annuity

Service Center:

•Death Claim form electing Extended Legacy

Program; and

•Satisfactory proof of death of the original Owner.

Upon the Beneficiary’s request to our Annuity Service Center, we will provide a prospectus and Extended Legacy

Guide, with important information including expenses, investment options and administrative features. The prospectus that the Beneficiary will receive may be for a different product than the original Owner purchased.

The Extended Legacy Guide includes important information regarding the program offered to Beneficiaries on or after September 20, 2010.

Restrictions on Extended Legacy Program

•

The Extended Legacy Program cannot be elected with rollover contracts from other companies.

•

No Purchase Payments are permitted.

•

Death benefits and the Income Protector income benefit that may have been elected by the original Owner are not available and any charges associated with these features will no longer be deducted.

•

In the event of the Beneficiary’s death, any remaining contract value will be paid to the person(s) named by the Beneficiary.

•

The contract may not be assigned and ownership may not be changed or jointly owned.

•

Any Fixed or DCA Fixed Accounts that may have been available to the original Owner will no longer be available for investment.

Expenses

We will charge the Beneficiary an annual Base Contract Expense of 1.15%. This charge is deducted daily from the average daily ending net asset value allocated to the Variable Portfolios.

Beneficiaries that elected the Extended Legacy Program prior to September 20, 2010 will continue to be charged the same Base Contract Expense as described above under BASE CONTRACT EXPENSE.

Investment Options

•

The Beneficiary may transfer funds among the available Variable Portfolios;

•

Variable Portfolios may differ from those available to the original Owner;

•

Variable Portfolios may be of a different share class subject to higher 12b-1 fees; and

•

Beneficiaries that elected the Extended Legacy Program prior to September 20, 2010 will continue to be offered the same Variable Portfolios as the original Owner.

Death Benefit Defined Terms

The term “Net Purchase Payment” is used frequently in describing the death benefit payable. Net Purchase Payment is an on-going calculation. It does not represent a contract value.

We define Net Purchase Payments as Purchase Payments less an adjustment for each withdrawal, including fees and

charges applicable to that withdrawal. If you have not taken any withdrawals from your contract, Net Purchase Payments equal total Purchase Payments into your contract. To calculate the adjustment amount for the first withdrawal made under the contract, we determine the percentage by which the withdrawal reduced the contract value. For example, a $10,000 withdrawal from a $100,000 contract is a 10% reduction in value. This percentage is calculated by dividing the amount of each withdrawal by the contract value immediately before taking the withdrawal. The resulting percentage is then multiplied by the amount of the total Purchase Payments and subtracted from the amount of the total Purchase Payments on deposit at the time of the withdrawal. The resulting amount is the initial Net Purchase Payment.

To arrive at the Net Purchase Payment calculation for subsequent withdrawals, we determine the percentage by which the contract value is reduced, by taking the amount of the withdrawal in relation to the contract value immediately before the withdrawal. We then multiply the Net Purchase Payment calculation as determined prior to the withdrawal, by this percentage. We subtract that result from the Net Purchase Payment calculation as determined prior to the withdrawal to arrive at all subsequent Net Purchase Payment calculations.

The term “withdrawals” as used in describing the death benefit options is defined as withdrawals and the fees and charges applicable to those withdrawals.

The Company does not accept Purchase Payments from anyone age 86 or older. Therefore, the death benefit calculations assume that no Purchase Payments are received on or after your 86th birthday.

Death Benefit Options

This contract provides two death benefit options: the Purchase Payment Accumulation Option and the Maximum Anniversary Value Option. Your death benefit calculation may be different depending on when you purchased your contract, please see details below. In addition, you may also elect the optional EstatePlus feature, described below. These elections must be made at the time you purchase your contract and once made, cannot be changed or terminated. You may pay for the optional EstatePlus feature and your Beneficiary may never receive the benefit once you begin the Income Phase on or before the Latest Annuity Date.

The following is a description of the death benefit options if your contract was issued on or after June 1, 2004:

Option 1 – Purchase Payment Accumulation Option

The death benefit is the greatest of:

Contract value; or

Net Purchase Payments, compounded at 3% annual growth rate to the earlier of the 75th birthday or date of death, reduced for withdrawals after the 75th birthday in the same proportion that the

contract value was reduced on the date of such withdrawal, and adjusted for Purchase Payments received after the 75th birthday; or

Contract value on the seventh contract anniversary, reduced for withdrawals since the seventh contract anniversary in the same proportion that the contract value was reduced on the date of such withdrawal, and adjusted for Purchase Payments received after the seventh contract anniversary.

The Purchase Payment Accumulation Option can only be elected prior to your 75th birthday.

Option 2 – Maximum Anniversary Value Option

If the contract is issued prior to your 83rd birthday, the death benefit is the greatest of:

Contract value; or

Net Purchase Payments; or

Maximum anniversary value on any contract anniversary prior to the earlier of your 83rd birthday or date of death. The anniversary values equal the contract value on a contract anniversary, reduced for withdrawals since that contract anniversary in the same proportion that the contract value was reduced on the date of such withdrawal, and adjusted for any Purchase Payments since that anniversary.

If the contract is issued on or after your 83rd birthday but before your 86th birthday, the death benefit is greater of:

Contract value; or

The lesser of:

Net Purchase Payments; or

125% of Contract Value.

If you are age 90 or older at the time of death and selected the Maximum Anniversary Value death benefit, the death benefit will be equal to the contract value. Accordingly, you will not get any benefit from this option if you are age 90 or older at the time of your death.

Please see Appendix E for examples of how your death benefit is calculated.

The following is a description of the death benefit options if your contract was issued between October 24, 2001 and June 1, 2004:

Option 1 – Purchase Payment Accumulation Option

The death benefit is the greatest of:

Contract value; or

Net Purchase Payments compounded at a 4% annual growth rate until the date of death (3% growth rate if age 70 or older at the time of contract issue) plus any Purchase Payments recorded after the date of death; and reduced for any withdrawals on the same proportion that the withdrawal reduced contract value on the date of the withdrawal; or

Contract value on the seventh contract anniversary, plus any Purchase Payments since the seventh contract anniversary; and reduced for any withdrawal since the seventh contract anniversary in the same proportion that each withdrawal reduced the contract value on the date of the withdrawal, all compounded at a 4% annual growth rate until the date of death (3% growth rate if age 70 or older at the time of contract issue) plus any Purchase Payments recorded after the date of death; and reduced for each withdrawal recorded after the date of death in the same proportion that each withdrawal reduced the contract value on the date of the withdrawal.

Option 2 – Maximum Anniversary Value Option

The death benefit is the greatest of:

Contract value; or

Net purchase Payments; or

Maximum anniversary value on any contract anniversary prior to your 81st birthday plus any Purchase Payments since that contract anniversary; and reduced for any withdrawals since the contract anniversary in the same proportion that each withdrawal reduced the contract value on the date of the withdrawal.

If you are age 90 or older at the time of death and selected the Maximum Anniversary Value death benefit, the death benefit will be equal to contract value. Accordingly, you will not get any benefit from this option if you are age 81 or older at the time of contract issue or you are age 90 or older at the time of your death.

Please see Appendix E for examples of how your death benefit is calculated.

The following is a description of the death benefit options if your contract was issued prior to October 24, 2001:

Option 1 – Purchase Payment Accumulation Option

The death benefit is the greatest of:

Contract value; or

Total Purchase Payments less withdrawals, compounded at a 4% annual growth rate until the date of death (3% growth rate if age 70 or older at the time of contract issue) plus any Purchase Payments less withdrawals recorded after the date of death; or

Contract value on the seventh contract anniversary, plus any Purchase Payments and less any withdrawals, since the seventh contract anniversary, all compounded at a 4% annual growth rate until the date of death (3% growth rate if age 70 or older at the time of contract issue) plus any Purchase Payments less withdrawals recorded after the date of death.

Option 2 – Maximum Anniversary Value Option

The death benefit is the greatest of:

Contract value; or

Total Purchase Payments less withdrawals; or

Maximum anniversary value on any contract anniversary prior to your 81st birthday. The anniversary value equals the contract value on a contract anniversary plus any Purchase Payments and less any withdrawals, since that contract anniversary.

Please see Appendix E for examples of how your death benefit is calculated.

The following is a description of the EstatePlus Benefit if your contract was issued on or after December 29, 2000:

Optional EstatePlus Benefit

EstatePlus, an optional earnings enhancement benefit of your contract, may increase the death benefit amount if you have earnings in your contract at the time of death. The fee for the benefit is 0.25% of the average daily ending net asset value allocated to the Variable Portfolios. EstatePlus is not available if you are age 81 or older at the time we issued your contract. This benefit is not available for election in Washington.

You must have elected EstatePlus at the time we issued your contract and you may not terminate this election. Furthermore, EstatePlus is not payable after the Latest Annuity Date. You may pay for EstatePlus and your Beneficiary may never receive the benefit if you live past the Latest Annuity Date.

We will add a percentage of your contract earnings (the “EstatePlus Percentage”), subject to a maximum dollar amount (the “Maximum EstatePlus Benefit”), to the death benefit payable. The contract year of your death will determine the EstatePlus Percentage and the Maximum EstatePlus Benefit.

The table below applies to contracts issued prior to your 70th birthday:

Contract Year of Death	EstatePlus Percentage	Maximum EstatePlus Benefit
Years 0 – 4	25% of Earnings	40% of Net Purchase Payments
Years 5 – 9	40% of Earnings	65% of Net Purchase Payments*
Years 10+	50% of Earnings	75% of Net Purchase Payments*

The table below applies to contracts issued on or after your 70th birthday but prior to your 81st birthday:

Contract Year of Death	EstatePlus Percentage	Maximum EstatePlus Benefit
All Contract Years	25% of Earnings	40% of Net Purchase Payments*

Purchase Payments received after the 5th contract anniversary must remain in the contract for at least 6 full months to be included as part of Net Purchase Payments for the purpose of the Maximum EstatePlus Benefit.

What is the Contract Year of Death?

Contract Year of Death is the number of full 12-month periods during which you have owned your contract ending on the date of death. Your Contract Year of Death is used to determine the EstatePlus Percentage and Maximum EstatePlus Benefit as indicated in the table above.

What is the EstatePlus Percentage?

We determine the EstatePlus benefit using the EstatePlus Percentage, indicated in the table above, which is a specified percentage of the earnings in your contract on the date of death. For the purpose of this calculation, earnings equals contract value minus Net Purchase Payments as of the date of death. If there are no earnings in your contract at the time of death, the amount of your EstatePlus benefit will be zero.

What is the Maximum EstatePlus Benefit?

The EstatePlus benefit is subject to a maximum dollar amount. The Maximum EstatePlus Benefit is equal to a specified percentage of your Net Purchase Payments, as indicated in the table above.

A Continuing Spouse may continue EstatePlus if they are age 80 or younger on the Continuation Date or terminate the benefit. If a Continuing Spouse is age 81 or older on the Continuation Date, they may continue the contract only and may not continue the EstatePlus feature. If the Continuing Spouse terminates EstatePlus or dies after the Latest Annuity Date, no EstatePlus benefit will be payable to the Continuing Spouse’s Beneficiary. Please see SPOUSAL CONTINUATION below.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend or terminate EstatePlus (in its entirety or any component) at any time for prospectively issued contracts.

Please see Appendix E for examples of how your death benefit is calculated.

Spousal Continuation

The Continuing Spouse may elect to continue the contract after your death. A spousal continuation can only take place once, upon the death of the original Owner of the contract.

Upon election of Spousal Continuation:

•

Generally, the contract, its benefits and elected features, if any, remain the same.

•

Continuing Spouse is subject to the same fees, charges and expenses applicable to the original Owner of the contract. Please see EXPENSES.

•

If the Continuing Spouse terminates any optional death benefit or dies after the Latest Annuity Date, no optional death benefit will be payable to the Continuing Spouse’s Beneficiary.

•

Continuing Spouse will be subject to the investment risk of Variable Portfolios, as was the original Owner.

Non-spousal joint Owners (including Domestic Partners) are not eligible for spousal continuation, under current tax law.

Upon a spousal continuation, we will contribute to the contract value an amount by which the death benefit that would have been paid to the Beneficiary upon the death of the original Owner, exceeds the contract value as of the Good Order date (“Continuation Contribution”), if any. The Continuation Contribution is not considered a Purchase Payment for the purposes of any other calculations except the death benefit following the Continuing Spouse’s death.

We will process a spousal continuation as of the date we

receive the following at the Annuity Service Center:

•Death Claim form; and

•Satisfactory proof of death of the original Owner.

We will add any Continuation Contribution as of the date we receive both the Continuing Spouse’s written request to continue the contract and satisfactory proof of death of the original Owner (“Continuation Date”) at the Annuity Service Center.

The age of the Continuing Spouse on the Continuation Date will be used to determine any future death benefits under the contract. Please see APPENDIX C – DEATH BENEFITS FOLLOWING SPOUSAL CONTINUATION for a discussion of the death benefit calculations upon a Continuing Spouse’s death.

Expenses

We may deduct the following fees and expenses if applicable from your contract, as described later in this section.

•

Base Contract Expenses

•

Withdrawal Charges

•

Underlying Fund Expenses

•

Contract Maintenance Fee

•

Transfer Fee

•

Optional Living Benefit Fee

•

Optional Death Benefit Fee

Fees and expenses associated with your contract reduce your investment return. Before purchasing this contract, you should consider the effect of fees and expenses on your

investment. You should fully discuss this decision with your financial representative. We will not increase certain contract fees, such as the Base Contract Expense or withdrawal charges for the life of your contract. Underlying Fund investment management fees may increase or decrease. Some states may require that we charge less than the amounts described below. Please see APPENDIX D — STATE CONTRACT AVAILABILITY AND/OR VARIABILITY for state-specific expenses.

We intend to profit from the sale of the contracts. Our profit may be derived as a result of a variety of pricing factors including but not limited to the fees and charges assessed under the contract and/or amounts we may receive from an Underlying Fund, its investment advisor and/or subadvisors (or affiliates thereof). Please see PAYMENTS IN CONNECTION WITH DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACT below. The fees, charges, amounts received from the Underlying Funds (or affiliates thereof) and any resulting profit may be used for any corporate purpose including supporting marketing, distribution and/or administration of the contract and, in its role as an intermediary, the Underlying Funds.

Base Contract Expenses

1.52%

(annualized charge as a percentage of the average daily ending net asset value allocated to Variable Portfolios)

The Base Contract Expense (also referred to as Separate Account Charge) compensates the Company for the mortality and expense risk and the costs of contract distribution assumed by the Company.

Generally, the mortality risks assumed by the Company arise from its contractual obligations to make annuity income payments after the Annuity Date and to provide a death benefit. The expense risk assumed by the Company is that the costs of administering the contracts and the Separate Account will exceed the amount received from the fees and charges assessed under the contract. There may not necessarily be a relationship between the administrative charge imposed under the contract and the amount of expenses that may be attributable to the contract.

If these charges do not cover all of our expenses, we will pay the difference. Likewise, if these charges exceed our expenses, we will keep the difference. The mortality and expense risk charge is expected to result in a profit. Profit may be used for any cost or expense including supporting distribution. Please see PAYMENTS IN CONNECTION WITH DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACT below.

If your Beneficiary elects to take the death benefit amount under the Extended Legacy Program, we will deduct an annual Base Contract Expense of 1.15% of the average daily ending net asset value allocated to the Variable Portfolios. Please see Extended Legacy Program under DEATH BENEFITS.

Withdrawal Charges

The contract provides a penalty-free withdrawal amount every contract year. Please see ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY above. You may incur a withdrawal charge if you take a withdrawal in excess of the penalty-free withdrawal amount and/or if you fully surrender your contract. Withdrawal Charges reimburse us for the cost of contract sales, expenses associated with issuing your contract and other acquisition expenses.

We apply a withdrawal charge schedule against each Purchase Payment you contribute to the contract. After a Purchase Payment has been in the contract for 9 complete years if you elected to participate in the Polaris Rewards program, a withdrawal charge no longer applies to that Purchase Payment. The withdrawal charge percentage declines over time for each Purchase Payment in the contract. The withdrawal charge schedules are as follows:

Withdrawal Charge without Polaris Rewards Program:

Years Since Purchase Payment Receipt	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8
Withdrawal Charge	7%	6%	5%	4%	3%	2%	1%	0%

Withdrawal Charge with election of Polaris Rewards Program:

Years Since Purchase Payment Receipt	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10+
Withdrawal Charge	9%	9%	8%	7%	6%	5%	4%	3%	2%	0%

These higher potential withdrawal charges for the Polaris Rewards program may compensate us for the expenses associated with the program.

The Polaris Rewards program is designed for long term investing. We expect that if you remain committed to this investment over the long term, we will profit as a result of fees charged over the life of your contract. However, other than the withdrawal charge, no other fees or charges are higher if you elect Polaris Rewards than the contract without an election of this program.

When calculating the withdrawal charge, we treat withdrawals as coming first from the Purchase Payments that have been in your contract the longest, which means the Purchase Payments that have the lowest Withdrawal Charge percentages. However, for tax purposes, per IRS requirements, your withdrawals are considered as coming first from taxable earnings, then from Purchase Payments, which are not taxable if your contract is Non-Qualified. Please see ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY above.

If you take a partial withdrawal, you can choose whether any applicable withdrawal charges are deducted from the amount withdrawn or from the contract value remaining after the amount withdrawn. If you fully surrender your contract value, we deduct any applicable withdrawal charges from the amount surrendered.

We will not assess a withdrawal charge when we pay a death benefit or when you annuitize your contract.

Withdrawals made prior to age 59½ may result in tax penalties. Please see TAXES below.

Underlying Fund Expenses

There are deductions from and expenses paid out of the assets of each Underlying Fund. Detailed information about these deductions and expenses can be found in the prospectuses for the Underlying Funds.

Investment Management Fees

Investment management fees are set by the Underlying Funds’ own board of directors, and may vary. These fees are not fixed or specified in your annuity contract.

Each Variable Portfolio purchases shares of a corresponding Underlying Fund. The Accumulation Unit value for each purchased Variable Portfolio share reflects the investment management fees and other expenses of the corresponding Underlying Fund. These fees may vary. They are not fixed or specified in your annuity contract, rather the fees are set by the Underlying Funds’ own board of directors.

12b-1 Fees

Certain Underlying Funds available in this product assess a 12b-1 fee of 0.25% of the average daily net assets allocated to those Underlying Funds. Over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment.

There is an annualized 0.25% fee applicable to Series II shares of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), Class 2 shares of American Funds Insurance Series, Class Service Shares of Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust, Class 3 shares of Seasons Series Trust and SunAmerica Series Trust. This amount is generally used to pay financial intermediaries for services provided over the life of your contract.

The 12b-1 fees compensate us for costs associated with the servicing of these shares, including, but not limited to, reimbursing us for expenditures we make to registered representatives in selling firms for providing services to contract Owners who are indirect beneficial Owners of these shares and for maintaining contract Owner accounts.

Contract Maintenance Fee

During the Accumulation Phase, we deduct a contract maintenance fee of $35 from your contract once per year on your contract anniversary. This charge compensates us for the cost of administering your contract. The fee is deducted proportionately from your contract value on your contract anniversary by redeeming the number of Accumulation Units invested in the Variable Portfolios and the dollar amount invested in available Fixed Accounts which in total

equal the amount of the fee. If you withdraw your entire contract value, we will deduct the contract maintenance fee from that withdrawal.

If your contract value is $50,000 or more on your contract anniversary date, we currently waive this fee. This waiver is subject to change without notice.

Please see APPENDIX D — STATE CONTRACT AVAILABILITY AND/OR VARIABILITY for the state-specific Contract Maintenance Fee.

Transfer Fee

After 15 Transfers

$25

We permit 15 free transfers between investment options each contract year. We charge you $25 for each additional transfer that contract year. The transfer fee compensates us for the cost of processing your transfer.
In Pennsylvania and Texas, any transfer over the limit of 15 will incur a $10 transfer fee.

Optional Income Protector Fee

Please see INCOME PROTECTOR above for a description of the Fees Associated with the Income Protector Program for contracts issued between November 2, 1998 and March 31, 1999.

Optional EstatePlus Fee

The annualized fee for the optional EstatePlus benefit is 0.25% of the average daily ending net asset value allocated to the Variable Portfolio(s).

Premium Tax

Certain states charge the Company a tax on Purchase Payments that ranges from 0% to 3.5%. Some states assess this premium tax when the contract is issued while other states only assess the tax upon annuitization. The Company may advance any tax amount due, but we will deduct such amount from your contract value only when and if you begin the Income Phase (annuitization).

Income Taxes

We do not currently deduct income taxes from your contract. We reserve the right to do so in the future.

Reduction or Elimination of Fees, Expenses and Additional Amounts Credited

Sometimes sales of contracts to groups of similarly situated individuals may lower our fees and expenses. We determine which groups are eligible for this treatment. Some of the criteria we evaluate to make a determination are size of the group; amount of expected Purchase Payments; relationship existing between us and the prospective purchaser; length of time a group of contracts is expected to remain active; purpose of the purchase and whether that purpose increases the likelihood that our expenses will be reduced; and/or any other factors that we believe indicate that fees and expenses may be reduced.

The Company may make such a determination regarding sales to its employees, its affiliates’ employees and employees of currently contracted broker-dealers; its registered representatives; and immediate family members of all of those described.

Payments in connection with distribution of the contract

Payments We Make

We make payments in connection with the distribution of the contracts that generally fall into the three categories below.

As a result of the payments that financial representatives may receive from us or other companies, some financial representatives may have a financial incentive to offer you a new contract in place of the one you already own. You should consider exchanging a contract you already own only if you determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both contracts, that it is better for you to purchase the new contract rather than continue to own your existing contract.

Commissions. Registered representatives of affiliated and unaffiliated broker-dealers (“selling firms”) licensed under federal securities laws and state insurance laws sell the contract to the public. The selling firms have entered into written selling agreements with the Company and Corebridge Capital Services, Inc., the distributor of the contracts. We pay commissions to the selling firms for the sale of your contract. The selling firms are paid commissions for the promotion and sale of the contracts according to one or more schedules. The amount and timing of commissions will vary depending on the selling firm and its selling agreement with us. For example, as one option, we may pay upfront commission only, up to a maximum 7.00% of each Purchase Payment you invest (which may include promotional amounts we may pay periodically as commission specials). Another option may be a lower upfront commission on each Purchase Payment, with a trail commission of up to a maximum 1.50% of contract value annually for the life of the contract.

The registered representative who sells you the contract typically receives a portion of the compensation we pay to his/her selling firm, depending on the agreement between the selling firms and its registered representative and their internal compensation program. We are not involved in determining your registered representatives’ compensation.

Additional Cash Compensation. We may enter into agreements to pay selling firms support fees in the form of additional cash compensation (“revenue sharing”). These revenue sharing payments may be intended to reimburse the selling firms for specific expenses incurred or may be based on sales, certain assets under management, longevity of assets invested with us and/or a flat fee. Asset-based

payments primarily create incentives to service and maintain previously sold contracts. Sales-based payments primarily create incentives to make new sales of contracts.

These revenue sharing payments may be consideration for, among other things, product placement/preference and visibility, greater access to train and educate the selling firm’s registered representatives about our contracts, our participation in sales conferences and educational seminars and for selling firms to perform due diligence on our contracts. The amount of these fees may be tied to the anticipated level of our access in that selling firm.

We enter into such revenue sharing arrangements in our discretion and we may negotiate customized arrangements with selling firms, including affiliated and non-affiliated selling firms based on various factors. These special compensation arrangements are not offered to all selling firms and the terms of such arrangements may vary between selling firms depending on, among other things, the level and type of marketing and distribution support provided, assets under management and the volume and size of the sales of our contracts.

If allowed by his or her selling firm, a registered representative or other eligible person may purchase a contract on a basis in which an additional amount is credited to the contract. Please see REDUCTION OR ELIMINATION OF FEES, EXPENSES AND ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS CREDITED above.

We provide a list of firms to whom we paid annual amounts greater than $15,000 under these revenue sharing arrangements in 2024 in the Statement of Additional Information which is available upon request.

Non-Cash Compensation. Some registered representatives and their supervisors may receive various types of non-cash compensation such as gifts, promotional items and entertainment in connection with our marketing efforts. We may also pay for registered representatives to attend educational and/or business seminars. Any such compensation is paid in accordance with SEC and FINRA rules.

We do not assess a specific charge directly to you or your Separate Account assets in order to cover commissions and other sales expenses and incentives we pay. However, we anticipate recovering these amounts from our profits which are derived from the fees and charges collected under the contract. We hope to benefit from these revenue sharing arrangements through increased sales of our contracts and greater customer service support.

Revenue sharing arrangements may provide selling firms and/or their registered representatives with an incentive to favor sales of our contracts over other variable annuity contracts (or other investments) with respect to which a selling firm does not receive the same level of additional compensation. You should discuss with your selling firm and/or registered representative how they are compensated for sales of a contract and/or any

resulting real or perceived conflicts of interest. You may wish to take such revenue sharing arrangements into account when considering or evaluating any recommendation relating to this contract.

Payments We Receive

We and our affiliates may directly or indirectly receive revenue sharing payments from the Trusts, their investment advisors, subadvisors and/or distributors (or affiliates thereof), in connection with certain administrative, marketing and other services we provide and related expenses we incur. The availability of these revenue sharing arrangements creates an incentive for us to seek and offer Underlying Funds (and classes of shares of such Underlying Funds) that pay us higher amounts. Other Underlying Funds (or available classes of shares) may have lower fees and better overall investment performance. Not all Trusts pay the same amount of revenue sharing. Therefore, the amount of fees we collect may be greater or smaller based on the Underlying Funds you select.

We and our affiliates generally receive three kinds of payments described below.

Rule 12b-1 or Service Fees. We receive 12b-1 fees of up to 0.25% or service fees of up to 0.50% of the average daily net assets in certain Underlying Funds. These fees are deducted directly from the assets of the Underlying Funds. Please see EXPENSES above.

Administrative, Marketing and Support Service Fees. We receive compensation of up to 0.70% annually based on assets under management from certain Trusts’ investment advisors, subadvisors and/or distributors (or affiliates thereof). These payments may be derived, in whole or in part, from the profits the investment advisor realizes on the investment management fees deducted from assets of the Underlying Funds or wholly from the assets of the Underlying Funds. Contract Owners, through their indirect investment in the Trusts, bear the costs of these investment management fees, which in turn will reduce the return on your investment. The payments we receive are generally based on assets under management from certain Trusts’ investment advisors or their affiliates and vary by Trust. Some investment advisors, subadvisors and/or distributors (or affiliates thereof) pay us more than others. The amount may be significant. Such amounts received from SAAMCo, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AGL, are not expected to exceed 0.70% annually based on assets under management.

Other Payments. Certain investment advisors, subadvisors and/or distributors (or affiliates thereof) may help offset the costs we incur for marketing activities and training to support sales of the Underlying Funds in the contract. These amounts are paid voluntarily and may provide such advisors, subadvisors and/or distributors access to national and regional sales conferences attended by our employees and registered representatives. The amounts paid depend on the nature of the meetings, the number of meetings attended,

the costs expected to be incurred and the level of the advisor’s, subadvisor’s or distributor’s participation.

In addition, we (and our affiliates) may receive occasional gifts, entertainment or other compensation as an incentive to market the Underlying Funds and to cooperate with their marketing efforts. As a result of these payments, the investment advisors, subadvisors and/or distributors (or affiliates thereof) may benefit from increased access to our wholesalers and to our affiliates involved in the distribution of the contract.

Annuity Income Options

The Income Phase

What is the Income Phase?

During the Income Phase, we use the money accumulated in your contract to make regular payments to you. This is known as “annuitizing” your contract. At this point, the Accumulation Phase ends. You will no longer be able to take withdrawals of contract value and all other features and benefits of your contract will terminate, including your ability to surrender your contract.

Beginning the Income Phase is an important event. You have different options available to you. You should discuss your options with your financial representative and/or tax adviser so that together you may make the best decision for your particular circumstances.

When does the Income Phase begin?

Generally, you can annuitize your contract any time after your second contract anniversary (“Annuity Date”) and on or before the Latest Annuity Date, defined below, by completing and mailing the Annuity Option Selection Form to our Annuity Service Center.

If you do not request to annuitize your contract on the Annuity Date of your choice, your contract will be annuitized on the Latest Annuity Date, except as specified below. For contracts issued prior to January 1, 2001, the Latest Annuity Date is defined as the first business day of the month following your 90th birthday or 10 years after your contract issue date, whichever is later. For contracts issued on or after January 1, 2001, your Latest Annuity Date is defined as the first business day of the month following your 95th birthday or 10 years after your contract issue date, whichever is later. If your contract is jointly owned, the Latest Annuity Date is based on the older Owner’s date of birth.

How do I elect to begin the Income Phase?

You must select one of the annuity income payment options, listed below, that best meets your needs by mailing a completed Annuity Option Selection Form to our Annuity Service Center. If you do not select an annuity income payment option, your contract will be annuitized in

accordance with the default annuity income payment option specified under Annuity Income Options below.

What is the impact on the Death Benefit if I annuitize?

Upon annuitizing the contract, the death benefit will terminate. Please see DEATH BENEFITS above.

Can I extend the Accumulation Phase past the Latest Annuity Date?

If you do not begin the Income Phase earlier, annuity income payments must begin on your Latest Annuity Date. For contracts issued prior to January 1, 2001, with a Latest Annuity Date of age 90, we may offer you the opportunity to extend your Accumulation Phase up to age 95 at our sole discretion. Currently, we allow extensions of the Accumulation Phase, in one-year increments (“Extension Periods”), provided your contract is eligible for an Extension Period as described below upon your request. Accepting our offer to extend the Accumulation Phase does not preclude you from requesting to annuitize your contract prior to the end of the Extension Period. If you enter an Extension Period, your contract remains in the Accumulation Phase, you retain all current benefits, and can choose to surrender or annuitize in the future.

In accordance with the Company’s final settlement of a multi-state audit and market conduct examination, and other related state regulatory inquiries regarding unclaimed property, if you qualify for Extension Periods you must notify us that you want to extend your Accumulation Phase.

If you do not notify us that you wish to enter an Extension Period, your contract will be annuitized on the Latest Annuity Date using the default option specified below. You can elect a different Annuity Payout Option by completing and mailing an Annuity Option Selection Form to our Annuity Service Center.

Extension Periods will not be offered beyond the first business day of the month following your 95th birthday. If your Accumulation Phase is extended to the first business day of the month following your 95th birthday but you have not selected an Annuity Payout Option by that date, we will automatically annuitize your contract using the default option specified below.

We will contact you prior to your Latest Annuity Date to inform you of Extension Periods, if available. Currently, you may be eligible for an Extension Period provided you do not have a Leveraged Death Benefit. A Leveraged Death Benefit is determined as follows:

(1)

a withdrawal is taken after May 2, 2011 (unless taken as a systematic withdrawal of the RMD for this contract); and

(2)

the death benefit to contract value ratio is 300% or more, on the date we determine eligibility for an Extension Period.

If we determine you are not eligible for an Extension Period due to having a Leveraged Death Benefit, as defined above,

we will not allow any extensions of your Accumulation Phase, and your contract will be annuitized on the Latest Annuity Date. Subsequently, if we determine you are no longer eligible for an Extension Period, we will then annuitize your contract on the first business day of the month following the end of the current Extension Period in accordance with the default annuity income payment option specified below and in your contract. You may select another annuity income payment option so long as you notify us in writing at least 30 days prior to that date.

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to refuse to offer Extension Periods, regardless of whether we may have granted Extension Periods in the past to you or other similarly situated contract Owners.

Annuity Income Options

You must send a written request to our Annuity Service Center to select an annuity income option. Once you begin receiving annuity income payments, you cannot change your annuity income option. If you elect to receive annuity income payments but do not select an annuity income option, your annuity income payments shall be in accordance with Option 4 for a period of 10 years; for annuity income payments based on joint lives, the default is Option 3 for a period of 10 years. Generally, the amount of each annuity income payment will be less with greater frequency of payments or if you chose a longer period certain guarantee.

We base our calculation of annuity income payments on the life expectancy of the Annuitant and the annuity rates set forth in your contract. In most contracts, the Owner and Annuitant are the same person. The Owner may change the Annuitant if different from the Owner at any time prior to the Annuity Date. The Owner must notify us if the Annuitant dies before the Annuity Date and designate a new Annuitant. If we do not receive a new Annuitant election, the Owner may not select an annuity income option based on the life of the Annuitant.

If the contract is owned by a non-natural Owner, the Annuitant cannot be changed after the contract has been issued and the death of the Annuitant will trigger the payment of the death benefit.

If you elect a lifetime based annuity income option without a guaranteed period, your annuity income payments depend on longevity only. That means that you may potentially not live long enough to receive an annuity income payment. If you die before the first annuity income payment, no annuity income payments will be made.

Annuity Income Option 1 – Life Income Annuity

This option provides annuity income payments for the life of the Annuitant. Annuity income payments end when the Annuitant dies.

Annuity Income Option 2 – Joint and Survivor Life Income Annuity

This option provides annuity income payments for the life of the Annuitant and for the life of another designated person. Upon the death of either person, we will continue to make annuity income payments during the lifetime of the survivor. Annuity income payments end when the survivor dies. For Qualified contracts, under certain circumstances, the survivor’s annuity income payments may be limited based on the Internal Revenue Code.

Annuity Income Option 3 – Joint and Survivor Life Income Annuity with 10 or 20 Years Guaranteed

This option is similar to Option 2 above, with an additional guarantee of payments for at least 10 or 20 years, depending on the period chosen. If the Annuitant and the survivor die before all of the guaranteed annuity income payments have been made, the remaining annuity income payments are made to the Beneficiary under your contract. A guarantee of payments greater than 10 years may not be available to all Beneficiaries. For Qualified contracts, under certain circumstances the survivor's annuity income payments may be limited based on the Internal Revenue Code.

Annuity Income Option 4 – Life Income Annuity with 10 or 20 Years Guaranteed

This option is similar to income Option 1 above with an additional guarantee of payments for at least 10 or 20 years, depending on the period chosen. If the Annuitant dies before all guaranteed annuity income payments are made, the remaining annuity income payments are made to the Beneficiary under your contract. A guarantee of payments greater than 10 years may not be available to all Beneficiaries. For Qualified contracts, under certain circumstances the Beneficiary’s annuity income payments may be limited based on the Internal Revenue Code.

Annuity Income Option 5 – Income for a Specified Period

This option provides annuity income payments for a guaranteed period ranging from 5 to 30 years, depending on the period chosen. If the Annuitant dies before all the guaranteed annuity income payments are made, the remaining annuity income payments are made to the Beneficiary under your contract. A guarantee of payments for more than 10 years may not be available to all Beneficiaries. For Qualified contracts, under certain circumstances the Beneficiary’s annuity income payments may be limited based on the Internal Revenue Code. Additionally, if variable annuity income payments are elected under this option, you (or the Beneficiary under the contract if the Annuitant dies prior to all guaranteed annuity income payments being made) may redeem any remaining guaranteed variable annuity income payments after the Annuity Date. Upon your request, the contract may be commuted if a period certain annuitization income option

has been elected. The amount available upon such redemption would be the discounted present value of any remaining guaranteed annuity income payments that would reflect the fluctuating trading costs for liquidating the securities in place to pay for these contractual obligations. The detrimental impact depends on the nature of the securities (and which may include short-term, medium term, and/or long-term investments) resulting in varying losses to the Company.

The value of an Annuity Unit, regardless of the option chosen, takes into account Base Contract Expense which includes a mortality and expense risk charge. Since Option 5 does not contain an element of mortality risk, no benefit is derived from this charge.

Please see the Statement of Additional Information for a more detailed discussion of the annuity income options.

Fixed or Variable Annuity Income Payments

You can choose annuity income payments that are fixed, variable or both. Unless otherwise elected, if at the date when annuity income payments begin you are invested in the Variable Portfolios only, your annuity income payments will be variable and if your money is only in Fixed Accounts at that time, your annuity income payments will be fixed in amount. Further, if you are invested in both Fixed Accounts and Variable Portfolios when annuity income payments begin, your payments will be fixed and variable, unless otherwise elected. If annuity income payments are fixed, the Company guarantees the amount of each payment. If the annuity income payments are variable, the amount is not guaranteed and may fluctuate as described under ANNUITY INCOME PAYMENTS below.

Annuity Income Payments

We make annuity income payments on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis as elected by you. You instruct us to send you a check or to have the payments directly deposited into your bank account. If state law allows, we distribute annuities with a contract value of $5,000 or less in a lump sum. Also, if state law allows and the selected annuity income option results in annuity income payments of less than $50 per payment, we may decrease the frequency of payments.

If you are invested in the Variable Portfolios after the Annuity Date, your annuity income payments vary depending on the following:

•

for life income options, your age when annuity income payments begin; and

•

the contract value attributable to the Variable Portfolios on the Annuity Date; and

•

the 3.5% assumed investment rate used in the annuity table for the contract; and

•

the performance of the Variable Portfolios in which you are invested during the time you receive annuity income payments.

If you are invested in both the Fixed Accounts and the Variable Portfolios after the Annuity Date, the allocation of funds between the Fixed Accounts and Variable Portfolios also impacts the amount of your annuity income payments.

The value of fixed annuity income payments, if elected, will not be less than 1%. The value of variable annuity income payments, if elected, is based on an assumed interest rate (“AIR”) of 3.5% compounded annually. Variable annuity income payments generally increase or decrease from one annuity income payment date to the next based upon the performance of the applicable Variable Portfolios. If the performance of the Variable Portfolios selected is equal to the AIR, the annuity income payments will remain constant. If performance of Variable Portfolios is greater than the AIR, the annuity income payments will increase and if it is less than the AIR, the annuity income payments will decline.

Deferment of Payments

We may defer making fixed payments for up to six months, or less if required by law. Interest is credited to you during the deferral period. Please see ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY above for a discussion of when payments from a Variable Portfolio may be suspended or postponed.

Taxes

The Federal income tax treatment of annuity contracts or retirement plans/programs is complex and sometimes uncertain. The discussion below is intended for general informational purposes only and are not intended as tax advice, either general or individualized, nor should they be interpreted to provide any predictions or guarantees of a particular tax treatment. Such discussions generally are based upon the Company’s understanding of current tax rules and interpretations, and may include areas of those rules that are more or less clear or certain. This discussion also does not address other Federal tax consequences (including consequences of sales to foreign individuals or entities), state or local tax consequences, estate or gift tax consequences, or the impact of foreign tax laws, associated with your contract.

Tax laws are subject to legislative modification, and while many such modifications will have only a prospective application, it is important to recognize that a change could have a retroactive effect as well. As a result, you should always consult a tax adviser about the application of tax rules found in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC” or the Code), Treasury Regulations and applicable Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) guidance to your individual situation. We do not guarantee the tax status or treatment of your annuity.

Section 72 of the Code governs taxation of annuities in general. A natural owner is not taxed on increases in the value of a contract until distribution occurs, either in the form of a non-annuity distribution (or deemed distribution) or as annuity income payments under the annuity option elected. For a lump-sum payment received as a total surrender (total redemption), the recipient is taxed on the portion of the payment that exceeds the cost basis of the contract. For a payment received as a withdrawal (partial redemption), federal tax liability is determined on a last-in, first-out basis, meaning taxable income is withdrawn before the cost basis of the contract is withdrawn. A different rule applies to Purchase Payments made (including, if applicable, in the case of a contract issued in exchange for a prior contract) prior to August 14, 1982. Those Purchase Payments are considered withdrawn first for federal income tax purposes, followed by earnings on those Purchase Payments. For Non-Qualified contracts, the cost basis is generally the Purchase Payments. The taxable portion of the lump-sum payment is taxed at ordinary income tax rates. Tax penalties may also apply.

If you purchase your contract under one of a number of types of employer-sponsored retirement plans, as an individual retirement annuity, or under an individual retirement account, your Contract is referred to as a Qualified Contract. Examples of qualified plans or arrangements are: Individual Retirement Annuities and Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), Roth IRAs, Tax-Sheltered Annuities (also referred to as 403(b) annuities or 403(b) contracts), plans of self-employed individuals (often referred to as H.R. 10 Plans or Keogh Plans), pension and profit sharing plans including 401(k) plans, and governmental 457(b) plans. Typically, for employer-sponsored retirement plans and tax-deductible IRA contributions, you have not paid any tax on the Purchase Payments used to buy your contract and therefore, you have no cost basis in your contract. However, you normally will have a cost basis in a Roth IRA, a designated Roth account in a 403(b), 401(k), or governmental 457(b) plan, and you may have cost basis in a traditional IRA or in another Qualified contract.

For annuity income payments, the portion of each payment that is in excess of the exclusion amount is includible in taxable income. The exclusion amount for payments based on a fixed annuity option is determined by multiplying the payment by the ratio that the cost basis of the Contract (if any, and adjusted for any period or refund feature) bears to the expected return under the Contract. The exclusion amount for payments based on a variable annuity option is determined by dividing the cost basis of the Contract (adjusted for any period certain or refund guarantee) by the number of years over which the annuity is expected to be paid. Payments received after the investment in the Contract has been recovered (i.e. when the total of the excludable amount equals the investment in the Contract) are fully taxable. The taxable portion is taxed at ordinary

income tax rates. For certain types of qualified plans there may be no cost basis in the Contract within the meaning of Section 72 of the Code. Owners, annuitants and beneficiaries under the Contracts should consult a tax advisor for advice about the tax consequences of any distributions.

Annuity Contracts in General

The IRC provides for special rules regarding the tax treatment of annuity contracts.

•

Generally, taxes on the earnings in your annuity contract are deferred until you take the money out.

•

Qualified contracts that satisfy specific IRC requirements automatically provide tax deferral regardless of whether the underlying contract is an annuity, a trust, or a custodial account.

•

Different rules and tax treatment apply depending on how you take the money out and whether your contract is Qualified or Non-Qualified.

Non-Qualified Contract

If you do not purchase your contract under an employer-sponsored retirement plan/arrangement, or an Individual Retirement Account or Individual Retirement Annuity (“IRA”), including a Roth IRA, your contract is referred to as a Non-Qualified contract.

Qualified Contract

If you purchase your contract under an employer-sponsored retirement plan/arrangement or an Individual Retirement Account or Individual Retirement Annuity (“IRA”), including Roth IRA, your contract is referred to as a Qualified contract. Taxation of owners in each qualified plan varies with the type of plan and terms and conditions of each specific plan. Owners and Beneficiaries are cautioned that benefits under a qualified plan may be subject to limitations under the IRC and the employer-sponsored plan, in addition to the terms and conditions of the contracts issued pursuant to the plan.

Employer-sponsored plans/arrangements include:

•

Tax-Sheltered Annuities (also referred to as 403(b) annuities)

•

Plans of self-employed individuals (often referred to as H.R. 10 Plans or Keogh Plans)

•

Pension and profit sharing plans including 401(k) plans, and governmental 457(b) plans

If you are purchasing the contract as an investment vehicle for a trust under a Qualified contract, you should consider that the contract does not provide any additional tax-deferral benefits beyond the treatment provided by the trust itself.

In addition, if the contract itself is a qualifying arrangement (as with a 403(b) annuity or IRA), the contract generally does not provide tax deferral benefits beyond the treatment provided to alternative qualifying arrangements such as

trusts or custodial accounts. However, in both cases the contract offers features and benefits that other investments may not offer. You and your financial representative should carefully consider whether the features and benefits, including the investment options, lifetime annuity income options, and protection through Living Benefits, death benefits and other benefits provided under an annuity contract issued in connection with a Qualified contract are suitable for your needs and objectives and are appropriate in light of the expense.

On December 20, 2019, the Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement (“SECURE”) Act was signed into law as part of larger appropriations legislation. Additionally, The SECURE 2.0 Act OF 2022 (“SECURE 2.0”) was passed on December 29, 2022. SECURE and SECURE 2.0 include many provisions affecting Qualified Contracts including:

•

an increase in the age at which required minimum distributions (RMDs) generally must commence. The updated RMD ages are:

○

Age 75, if you were born on or after January 1, 1960.

○

Age 73 if you were born on or after January 1, 1951, and before January 1, 1960.

○

Age 72 if you were born on or after July 1, 1949, and before January 1, 1951.

○

Age 70 ½ if you were born before July 1, 1949.

•

new limitations on the period for beneficiary distributions following the death of the plan participant or IRA owner (when the death occurs on or after January 1, 2020;

•

elimination of the age 70 ½ restriction on traditional IRA contributions for tax years beginning 2020 (combined with an offset to the amount of eligible qualified charitable distributions (QCDs) by the amount of post-70 ½ IRA contributions);

•

new exceptions to the 10% additional tax on early distributions, for the qualified birth or adoption of a child, which also became an allowable plan distribution event for terminal illnesses, and for eligible distributions for domestic abuse victims;

•

expansion of distribution and loan (including loan repayment) rules for qualified disaster recovery distributions from certain employer-sponsored retirement plans and IRAs; and

•

reduction of the earliest permissible age for in-service distributions from pension plans and certain Section 457 plans to 59 ½.

The foregoing is not an exhaustive list. The SECURE Act and SECURE 2.0 included many additional provisions

affecting Qualified Contracts. Additionally, SECURE 2.0 introduced numerous provisions into law that take effect after 2023.

Some provisions in the Act are subject to the terms of an employer’s retirement plan and IRA and may not be available with your annuity. You should consult with your financial professional or personal tax advisor if you are impacted by these changes.

Tax Treatment of Purchase Payments

Non-Qualified Contract

In general, your cost basis in a Non-Qualified contract is equal to the Purchase Payments you put into the contract. You have already been taxed on the Purchase Payments you contributed in your Non-Qualified contract.

Qualified Contract

Typically, for employer sponsored plans/arrangements and tax-deductible IRA contributions, you have not paid any tax on the Purchase Payments contributed to your contract and therefore, you have no cost basis in your contract. However, you normally will have cost basis in a Roth IRA, a designated Roth account in a 403(b), 401(k), or governmental 457(b) plan, and you may have cost basis in a traditional IRA or in another Qualified contract.

The following are general summary descriptions of the types of qualified plans with which the contracts may be used. Such descriptions are not exhaustive and are for general information purposes only. The tax rules regarding qualified plans are very complex and will have differing applications depending on individual facts and circumstances. Each purchaser should obtain competent tax advice prior to purchasing a contract issued under a qualified plan. Contracts issued pursuant to qualified plans include special provisions restricting contract provisions that may otherwise be available and described in this prospectus. Generally, contracts issued pursuant to qualified plans are not transferable except upon surrender or annuitization. Various penalty and excise taxes may apply to contributions or distributions made in violation of applicable limitations. Furthermore, certain contractual withdrawal penalties and restrictions may apply to surrender from Qualified contracts. You should consult a qualified tax advisor associated with any questions related to the contribution to or distribution or transfer from a qualified plan or IRA, or Roth IRA.

Note that the Company no longer issues new qualified contracts other than IRAs or ROTH IRAs.

Qualified Contract - Plans of Self-Employed Individuals: “H.R. 10 Plans”

Section 401 of the Code permits self-employed individuals to establish qualified plans for themselves and their employees, commonly referred to as “H.R. 10” or “Keogh” Plans. Contributions made to the plan for the benefit of the employees will not be included in the gross income of the employees, for federal tax purposes, until distributed from

the plan if certain conditions are met. The tax consequences to owners may vary depending upon the particular plan design. However, the Code places limitations and restrictions on these plans, such as: amounts of allowable contributions; form, manner and timing of distributions; vesting and non-forfeitability of interests; nondiscrimination in eligibility and participation; and the tax treatment of distributions, withdrawals and surrenders. Purchasers of contracts for use with an H.R. 10 Plan should obtain competent tax advice as to the tax treatment and suitability of such an investment.

Qualified Contract—Tax-Sheltered Annuity (403(b))

Section 403(b) of the Code permits the purchase of “tax-sheltered annuities” by public schools and not-for-profit organizations described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code. These qualifying employers may make contributions to the contracts for the benefit of their employees. Such contributions are not includible in the gross income of the employee until the employee receives distributions from the contract if certain conditions are met. The amount of contributions to the tax-sheltered annuity is limited to certain maximums imposed by the Code, adjusted annually. One of these limits, on the amount that the employee may contribute on a voluntary basis, is imposed by the annuity contract as well as by the Code. Furthermore, the Code sets forth additional restrictions governing such items as transferability, distributions, nondiscrimination and withdrawals. Any employee should obtain competent tax advice as to the tax treatment and suitability of such an Investment.

On July 26, 2007, the Treasury Department published comprehensive 403(b) regulations that were largely effective on January 1, 2009. Included in the requirements under the regulations was a requirement that employers maintain their 403(b) plans pursuant to a written plan. Effective January 1, 2009 the Company no longer accepts new Purchase Payments (including contributions, transfers and exchanges) into new or existing 403(b) annuities. You may wish to discuss the regulations and/or the general information above with your tax adviser.

Qualified Contract—Individual Retirement Annuities (IRA) or Roth IRA

The IRA Disclosure Statement, ROTH IRA Disclosure Statement, or Traditional, SEP, and Roth Individual Retirement Annuity (IRA) Combined Disclosure Statement which was received at the time of original issue of your IRA or Roth IRA contains information about eligibility, contribution limits, distribution restrictions and other tax information.

Individual Retirement Annuities

Section 408(b) of the Code permits eligible individuals to contribute to an individual retirement program known as a traditional “Individual Retirement Annuity” (“IRA”). Under applicable limitations, certain amounts (adjusted annually) may be contributed to an IRA which will be deductible from

the individual’s gross income. The ability to deduct an IRA contribution to a traditional IRA is subject to limits based upon income levels, retirement plan participation status, and other factors. IRAs are subject to limitations on eligibility, contributions, transferability and distributions. Purchasers of contracts to be qualified as IRAs should obtain competent tax advice as to the tax treatment and suitability of such an investment.

Roth IRAs

Section 408A of the Code permits an individual to contribute to an individual retirement program called a Roth IRA. Contributions to a Roth IRA are not deductible but distributions are tax-free if certain requirements are satisfied. Unlike traditional IRAs, to which everyone can contribute even if they cannot deduct the full contribution, Roth IRAs have income limitations on who can establish such a contract. All persons may be eligible to convert a distribution from an employer-sponsored plan or from a traditional IRA into a Roth IRA. Conversions or rollovers from qualified plans into Roth IRAs normally require taxes to be paid on any previously untaxed amounts included in the amount converted.

Qualified Contract—Pension and Profit Sharing Plans

Section 401(a) of the Code permits certain employers to establish various types of retirement plans, including 401(k) plans, for employees. However, governmental employers may not establish new 401(k) plans. These retirement plans may permit the purchase of the contracts to provide benefits under the plan. Contributions to the plan for the benefit of employees will not be includible in the gross income of the employee until distributed from the plan if certain conditions are met. The tax consequences to owners may vary depending upon the particular plan design. However, the Code places limitations on all plans on such items as amount of allowable contributions; form, manner and timing of distributions; investing and non-forfeitability of interests; nondiscrimination in eligibility and participation; and the tax treatment of distributions, withdrawals and surrenders. Purchasers of contracts for use with pension or profit sharing plans should obtain competent tax advice as to the tax treatment and suitability of such an investment.

Qualified Contract— Deferred Compensation Plans — Section 457(b)

Under Section 457(b) of the Code, governmental and certain other tax-exempt employers may establish, for the benefit of their employees, deferred compensation plans, which may invest in annuity contracts. The Code, as in the case of employer sponsored retirement plans generally establishes limitations and restrictions on eligibility, contributions and distributions. Under these plans, contributions made for the benefit of the employees will not be includible in the employees’ gross income until distributed from, or in some cases made available under the plan.

Funds in a non-governmental 457(b) plan remain assets of the employer and are subject to claims by the creditors of the employer. All 457(b) plans of state and local governments must hold assets and income in a qualifying trust, custodial account, or annuity contract for the exclusive benefit of participants and their Beneficiaries.

Tax Treatment of Distributions

Distributions from Non-Qualified Contracts

Federal tax rules generally require that all Non-Qualified contracts issued by the same company to the same policyholder during the same calendar year will be treated as one annuity contract for purposes of determining the taxable amount upon distribution. Such treatment may result in adverse tax consequences including more rapid taxation of the distributed amounts from such combination of contracts. For purposes of this rule, contracts received in a Section 1035 exchange will be considered issued in the year of the exchange. (However, the contracts may be treated as issued on the issue date of the contract being exchanged, for certain purposes, including for determining whether the contract is an immediate annuity contract.) Owners should consult a tax adviser prior to purchasing more than one Non-Qualified annuity contract from the same issuer in any calendar year.

The taxable portion of any withdrawals, whether annuity income payment or other withdrawal, generally is subject to applicable state and/or local income taxes, and may be subject to an additional 10% penalty tax unless withdrawn in conjunction with the following circumstances:

•

after attaining age 59½;

•

when paid to your Beneficiary after you die;

•

after you become disabled (as defined in the IRC);

•

when paid as a part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for your life (or life expectancy) or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of you and your designated Beneficiary for a period of 5 years or attainment of age 59½, whichever is later;

•

under an immediate annuity contract;

•

when attributable to Purchase Payments made prior to August 14, 1982.

Partial or Total Withdrawals

If you make partial or total withdrawals from a Non-Qualified contract, the IRC generally treats such withdrawals as coming first from taxable earnings and then coming from your Purchase Payments. Purchase Payments made prior to August 14, 1982, however, are an important exception to this general rule, and for tax purposes generally are treated as being distributed first, before either the earnings on those contributions, or other Purchase Payments and earnings in the contract.

Annuitization

If you annuitize your contract, a portion of each annuity income payment will be considered, for tax purposes, to be a return of a portion of your Purchase Payment, generally until you have received all of your Purchase Payment. The portion of each annuity income payment that is considered a return of your Purchase Payment will not be taxed.

Annuity to Annuity Transfer

A transfer of contract value to another annuity contract generally will be tax reported as a distribution unless we have sufficient information, on a form satisfying us, to confirm that the transfer qualifies as an exchange under IRC Section 1035 (a “1035 exchange”). Partial exchanges may be treated in a similar manner as 1035 exchanges of the entire contract. Revenue Procedure 2011-38 provides that on or after October 24, 2011 a direct transfer of a portion of the cash surrender value of an existing annuity contract for a second annuity contract, regardless of whether the two annuity contracts are issued by the same or different companies, will be treated as a tax-free exchange under Code section 1035 if no amounts, other than amounts received an annuity for a period of 10 years or more or during one or more lives, are received under the original contract or the new contract during the 180 days beginning on the date of the transfer (in the case of a new contract, on the date the contract is placed in-force). Owners should seek their own tax advice regarding such transactions and the tax risks associated with subsequent surrenders or withdrawals.

Additional Tax on Net Investment Income

Information in this section generally does not apply to Qualified contracts, however taxable distributions from such contracts may be taken into account in determining the applicability of the Modified Adjusted Gross Income (“MAGI”) threshold.

Under Federal Tax law, there is a tax on net investment income, at the rate of 3.8% of applicable thresholds for MAGI based on type of filer. Further information may be found on www.irs.gov. An individual with MAGI in excess of the threshold will be required to pay this 3.8% tax on net investment income in excess of the applicable MAGI threshold. For this purpose, net investment income generally will include taxable withdrawals from a Non-Qualified contract, as well as other taxable amounts including amounts taxed annually to an Owner that is not a natural person (see Contracts Owned by a Trust or Corporation below).

Distributions from Qualified Contracts

Generally, you have not paid any taxes on the Purchase Payments used to buy a Qualified contract. As a result, most amounts withdrawn from the contract or received as annuity income payments will be taxable income. Exceptions to this general rule include withdrawals attributable to

after-tax amounts permitted under the employer’s plan or contributed to a Roth IRA or non-deductible traditional IRA. Please consult your tax or legal advisors with regard to any tax reporting associated with a distribution from a traditional IRA that contains cost basis.

Withdrawals from other Qualified contracts are often limited by the IRC and by the employer-sponsored plan/arrangement.

The taxable portion of any withdrawal or annuity income payment from a Qualified contract (except for Tax-Sheltered Annuities) will be subject to an additional 10% penalty tax, under the IRC, except in the following circumstances:

•

after attainment of age 59½;

•

when paid to your Beneficiary after you die;

•

after you become disabled (as defined in the IRC);

•

after you become terminally ill;

•

as a part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for your life (or life expectancy) or the joint lives (or joint expectancies) of you and your designated Beneficiary for a period of 5 years or attainment of age 59½, whichever is later;

•

dividends paid with respect to stock of a corporation described in IRC Section 404(k);

•

payments up to the amount of your deductible medical expenses (without regard to whether you itemize deductions for the taxable year);

•

for payment of health insurance if you are unemployed and meet certain requirements;

•

distributions from IRAs for qualifying higher education expenses or first home purchases, with certain limitations;

•

payments to certain individuals called up for active duty after September 11, 2001;

•

payments up to $3,000 per year for health, life and accident insurance by certain retired public safety officers, which are federal income tax-free;

•

distributions for parents after the “qualified birth or adoption” of a new child (subject to limitations);

•

certain amounts to a domestic abuse victim;

•

certain amounts for emergency personal expenses;

•

withdrawals of net income on excess IRA contributions returned by the due date of your tax return.

Non-IRA contracts:

•

amounts distributed from a Code Section 457(b) plan other than to the extent such amounts in a governmental Code Section 457(b) plan represent rollovers from an IRA or employer-sponsored plan to which the 10% penalty would otherwise apply and which are treated as distributed from a Qualified plan for purposes of the premature distribution penalty;

•

payments to employees after separation from service after attainment of age 55 (does not apply to IRAs);

•

payments from a tax-qualified plan or section 403(b) plan made after you separate from service if you provided firefighting services and you (1) will be at least age 50 in the year of the separation or (2) have at least 25 years of service under the Plan (does not apply to IRAs); and

•

transfers to alternate payees pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order (does not apply to IRAs).

Annuitization

Unlike a Non-Qualified contract, if you annuitize your Qualified annuity contract the entire annuity income payment will be considered income, for tax purposes.

Direct and Indirect Rollovers

Under certain circumstances, you may be able to transfer amounts distributed from your employer sponsored plan/arrangement to another eligible plan or IRA. Generally, a distribution may be eligible for rollover but certain types of distributions cannot be rolled over, such as distributions received on account of:

(a)

a required minimum distribution,

(b)

a hardship withdrawal, or

(c)

a series of substantially equal payments (at least annually) made over your life expectancy or the joint life expectancies of you and your designated Beneficiary or a distribution made for a specified period of 10 years or more.

The IRS issued Announcement 2014-32 confirming its intent to apply the one-rollover-per-year limitation of 408(d)(3)(B) on an aggregate basis to all IRAs that an individual owns. This means that an individual cannot make a tax-free IRA-to-IRA rollover if he or she has made such a rollover involving any of the individual’s IRAs in the current tax year. If an intended rollover does not qualify for tax-free rollover treatment, contributions to your IRA may constitute excess contributions that may exceed contribution limits. This one-rollover-per-year limitation does not apply to direct trustee-to-trustee transfers. You should always consult your tax adviser before you move or attempt to move any funds.

The IRC limits the withdrawal of an employee’s elective deferral Purchase Payments from a Tax-Sheltered Annuity

(TSA) contract under IRC 403(b) and certain other Qualified Contracts. Generally, withdrawals can only be made when an Owner:

•

reaches age 59½;

•

severs employment with the employer;

•

dies;

•

birth or adoption of child (subject to limitations);

•

becomes disabled (as defined in the IRC); or

•

experiences a financial hardship (as defined in the IRC).*

In the case of hardship, the Owner can only withdraw Purchase Payments.

Additional plan limitations may also apply.Amounts held in a TSA contract as of December 31, 1988 are not subject to these restrictions except as otherwise imposed by the plan.

There are certain exceptions to these restrictions which are generally based upon the type of investment arrangement, the type of contributions, and the date the contributions were made. Transfers of amounts from one Qualified contract to another investment option under the same plan, or to another contract or account of the same plan type or from a qualified plan to a state defined benefit plan to purchase service credits are not considered distributions, and thus are not subject to these withdrawal limitations. Such transfers may, however, be subject to limitations under the annuity contract or plan.

Transfers among 403(b) annuities and/or 403(b)(7) custodial accounts generally are subject to rules set out in the plan, the IRC, treasury regulations, IRS pronouncements, and other applicable legal authorities.

Required Minimum Distributions

Information in this section generally does not apply to Non-Qualified contracts.

Failure to satisfy the minimum distribution requirements may result in a tax penalty. You should consult your tax adviser for more information.

Commencement Date

Generally, the IRC requires that you begin taking annual distributions from Qualified annuity contracts by April 1 of the calendar year following the later of (1) the calendar year in which you attain age:

•

Age 75 if you were born January 1, 1960 or later.

•

Age 73 if you were born on or after January 1, 1951, and before January 1, 1960.

•

Age 72 if you were born on or after July 1, 1949, and before January 1, 1951.

•

Age 70 ½ if you were born before July 1, 1949.

or (2) the calendar year in which you sever employment from the employer sponsoring the plan. If you own a traditional IRA, you must begin receiving minimum

distributions by April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which you reach age:

•

Age 75 if you were born January 1, 1960 or later.

•

Age 73 if you were born on or after January 1, 1951, and before January 1, 1960.

•

Age 72 if you were born on or after July 1, 1949, and before January 1, 1951.

•

Age 70 ½ if you were born before July 1, 1949.

If you choose to delay your first distribution until the year after the year in which you reach the applicable RMD age or sever employment, as applicable, then you will be required to withdraw your second required minimum distribution on or before December 31 in that same year. For each year thereafter, you must withdraw your required minimum distribution by December 31.

Combining Distributions from Multiple Contracts

If you own more than one IRA, you may be permitted to take your annual distributions in any combination from your IRAs. A similar rule applies if you own more than one TSA. However, you cannot satisfy this distribution requirement for your IRA contract by taking a distribution from a TSA, and you cannot satisfy the requirement for your TSA by taking a distribution from an IRA.

Automatic Withdrawal Option

You may elect to have the required minimum distribution amount on your contract calculated and withdrawn each year under the automatic withdrawal option. You may select monthly, quarterly, semiannual, or annual withdrawals for this purpose. This service is provided as a courtesy and we do not guarantee the accuracy of our calculations. Accordingly, we recommend you consult your tax adviser concerning your required minimum distribution.

Impact of Optional Benefits

IRS regulations require that the annuity contract value used to determine required minimum distributions include the actuarial present value of other benefits under the contract, such as enhanced death benefits and/or Living Benefits. As a result, if you request a minimum distribution calculation, or if one is otherwise required to be provided, in those specific circumstances where this requirement applies, the calculation may be based upon a value that is greater than your contract value, resulting in a larger required minimum distribution. This regulation does not apply to required minimum distributions made under an irrevocable annuity income option. You should discuss the effect of these regulations with your tax adviser.

Tax Treatment of Death Benefits

The taxable amount of any death benefits paid under the contract are taxable to the Beneficiary. The rules governing the taxation of payments from an annuity contract, as

discussed above, generally apply whether the death benefit is paid as lump sum or annuity income payments. Estate taxes may also apply.

Enhanced death benefits are used as investment protection and are not expected to give rise to any adverse tax effects. However, the IRS could take the position that some or all of the charges for these death benefits should be treated as a partial withdrawal from the contract. In that case, the amount of the partial withdrawal may be includible in taxable income and subject to the 10% penalty if the Owner is under 59½, unless another exception applies. You should consult your tax adviser for more information.

If you own a Qualified contract and purchase an enhanced death benefit, the IRS may consider these benefits “incidental death benefits” or “life insurance.” The IRC imposes limits on the amount of the incidental benefits and/or life insurance allowable for Qualified contracts and the employer-sponsored plans under which they are purchased. If the death benefit(s) selected by you are considered to exceed these limits, the benefit(s) could result in taxable income to the Owner of the Qualified contract, and in some cases could adversely impact the qualified status of the Qualified contract or the plan. You should consult your tax adviser regarding these features and benefits prior to purchasing a contract.

Contracts Owned by a Trust or Corporation

A Trust or Corporation or other Owner that is not a natural person (“Non-Natural Owner”) that is considering purchasing this contract should consult a tax adviser.

Generally, the IRC does not confer tax-deferred status upon a Non-Qualified contract owned by a Non-Natural Owner for federal income tax purposes. Instead in such cases, the Non-Natural Owner pays tax each year on the contract’s value in excess of the Owner’s cost basis, and the contract’s cost basis is then increased by a like amount. However, this treatment is not applied to a contract held by a trust or other entity as an agent for a natural person nor to contracts held by Qualified Plans.

Withholding

Taxable amounts distributed from annuity contracts are subject to federal and state income tax reporting and withholding. In general, we will withhold federal income tax from the taxable portion of such distribution based on the type of distribution and, in certain cases, the amount of your distribution. An election out of withholding must be made in accordance with the IRS guidance as directed on forms that we provide. If an election out of withholding or election of another amount is not made, withholding is imposed (1) for periodic payments, at the rate that would be imposed if the payments were wages, and the payee was single with no adjustments, or (2) for other distributions, at the rate of 10%. If you are a U.S. person (which includes a resident alien), and your address of record is a non-U.S. address, we

are required to withhold income tax unless payments are directed to your U.S. residential address.

State income tax withholding rules vary and we will withhold based on the rules of your state of residence.

Special tax rules apply to withholding for nonresident aliens, and we generally withhold income tax for nonresident aliens at a 30% rate. A different withholding rate may be applicable to a nonresident alien based on the terms of an existing income tax treaty between the United States and the nonresident alien’s country. You should consult your tax adviser as to the availability of an exemption from, or reduction of, such tax under an applicable income tax treaty, if any.

Any income tax withheld is a credit against your income tax liability. Regardless of the amount withheld by us, you are liable for payment of federal and state income tax on the taxable portion of annuity distributions. You should consult with your tax adviser regarding the payment of the correct amount of these income taxes and potential liability if you fail to pay such taxes.

20% Withholding on Eligible Rollover Distributions

For certain qualified employer sponsored plans, we are required to withhold 20% of the taxable portion of your withdrawal that constitutes an “eligible rollover distribution” for Federal income taxes. An “eligible rollover distribution” is the taxable portion of any amount received by a covered employee from a retirement plan qualified under Sections 401 or 403 or, if from a plan of a governmental employer, under Section 457(b) of the Code, or from a tax-sheltered annuity qualified under Section 403(b) of the Code. This requirement is mandatory and cannot be waived by the owner.

You may avoid withholding if you directly transfer a withdrawal from this Contract to another qualified plan or IRA. Similarly, you may be able to avoid withholding on a transfer into the Contract from an existing qualified plan you may have with another provider by arranging to have the transfer made directly to us. Contract Owners should consult a tax advisor for any questions.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”)

A Contract Owner who is not a “United States person” which is defined to mean:

•

a citizen or resident of the United States

•

a partnership or corporation created or organized in the United States or under the law of the United States or of any state, or the District of Columbia

•

any estate or trust other than a foreign estate or foreign trust (see Internal Revenue Code section 7701(a)(31) for the definition of a foreign estate and a foreign trust)

should be aware that FATCA provides that a 30% withholding tax will be imposed on certain gross payments

(which could include distributions from cash value life insurance or annuity products) made to a foreign entity if such entity fails to provide applicable certifications under a Form W-9, Form W-8 BEN-E, Form W-8IMY, or other applicable form. Certain withholding certifications will remain effective until a change in circumstances makes any information on the form incorrect. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any Form W-8 (including the Form W-8 BEN-E and Form W-8IMY), is only effective for three years from date of signature unless a change in circumstances makes any information on the form incorrect. An entity, for this purpose, will be considered a foreign entity unless it provides an applicable withholding certification to the contrary. The Contract Owner must inform the Company within 30 days of any change in circumstances that makes any information on the form incorrect by furnishing a new IRS Form W-9, Form W-8 BEN-E, Form W-8IMY, or other applicable form. Contract Owners should consult a tax advisor as to the availability of any exemption under an applicable income tax treaty, if any.

Gifts, Pledges and/or Assignments of a Contract

Non-Qualified Contracts

If you transfer ownership of your Non-Qualified contract to a person other than your spouse (or former spouse incident to divorce) as a gift you will pay federal income tax on the contract’s cash value to the extent it exceeds your cost basis. The recipient’s cost basis will be increased by the amount on which you will pay federal taxes. In addition, the IRC treats any assignment or pledge (or agreement to assign or pledge) of any portion of a Non-Qualified contract as a withdrawal.

Qualified Contracts

The IRC prohibits Qualified annuity contracts including IRAs from being transferred, assigned or pledged as security for a loan.

This prohibition, however, generally does not apply to loans under an employer-sponsored plan (including loans from the annuity contract) that satisfy certain requirements, provided that:

•

the plan is not an unfunded deferred compensation plan; and

•

the plan funding vehicle is not an IRA.

Another exception to this rule includes an assignment pursuant to a domestic relations order meeting the requirements of the plan or arrangement under which the contract is issued (for many plans, a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, or QDRO), or, in the case of an IRA, pursuant to a decree of divorce or separation maintenance or a written instrument incident to such decree. You should consult a tax advisor as to the availability of these exceptions.

Diversification and Investor Control

Diversification

For a contract to be treated as a variable annuity for Federal income tax purposes, the underlying investments under the variable annuity must be “adequately diversified”. Treasury Regulations provide standards that must be met to comply with the rules. Under the regulations an investment portfolio will be deemed adequately diversified if (1) no more than 55% of the value of the total assets of the portfolio is represented by any one investment; (2) no more than 70% of the value of the total assets of the portfolio is represented by any two investments; (3) no more than 80% of the value of the total assets of the portfolio is represented by any three investments; and (4) no more than 90% of the value of the total assets of the portfolio is represented by any four investments. For purposes of determining whether or not the diversification standards imposed on the underlying assets of variable contracts by Section 817(h) of the Code have been met, “each United States government agency or instrumentality shall be treated as a separate issuer.” If the variable annuity fails to comply with these diversification standards, you could be required to pay tax currently on the excess of the Contract Value over the contract Purchase Payments. We expect that the manager of the Underlying Funds monitors the Funds so as to comply with these Treasury Regulations.

These requirements generally do not apply to Qualified contracts, which are considered “Pension Plan Contracts” for purposes of these Code requirements.

Investor Control

These investor control limitations generally do not apply to Qualified contracts, which are referred to as “Pension Plan Contracts” for purposes of this rule, although the limitations could be applied to Qualified contracts in the future.

Under certain circumstances, you, and not the Company, could be treated as the owner of the Underlying Funds under your Non-Qualified contract, based on the degree of control you exercise over the underlying investments. If this occurs, you may be currently taxed on income and gains attributable to the assets under the contract.

There is little guidance in this area, and the determination of whether you possess sufficient incidents of ownership over Variable Portfolio assets to be deemed the owner of the Underlying Funds depends on all of the relevant facts and circumstances. However, IRS Revenue Ruling 2003-91 provides that an annuity owner’s ability to choose among general investment strategies either at the time of the initial purchase or thereafter, does not constitute control sufficient to cause the contract holder to be treated as the owner of the Variable Portfolios. The Revenue Ruling provides that if, based on all the facts and circumstances, you do not have direct or indirect control over the Separate Account or any Variable Portfolio asset, then you do not possess sufficient incidents of ownership over the assets supporting the annuity to be deemed the owner of the assets for federal income tax purposes. We do not know what limits may be

set by the IRS in any future guidance that it may issue and whether such limits will apply to existing contracts.

While we believe the contract does not give you investment control over the Underlying Funds, we reserve the right to modify the contract as necessary in an attempt to prevent you from being considered as the owner of the assets of the contract for purposes of the Code.

Our Taxes

The Company is taxed as a life insurance company under the Code. For federal income tax purposes, the Separate Account is not a separate entity from the Company and its operations form a part of the Company. We are entitled to certain tax benefits related to the investment of company assets, including assets of the Separate Account, which may include the foreign tax credit and the corporate dividends received deduction. These potential benefits are not passed back to you, since we are the owner of the assets from which tax benefits may be derived.

Other Information

The Distributor

Corebridge Capital Services, Inc., 30 Hudson Street, 16th Floor, Jersey City, NJ 07302, distributes the contracts. Corebridge Capital Services, Inc., an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of AGL, is a registered broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). No underwriting fees are retained by Corebridge Capital Services, Inc. in connection with the distribution of the contracts.

The Company

American General Life Insurance Company

American General Life Insurance Company (“AGL”) is a stock life insurance company organized under the laws of the state of Texas. Its home office is 2727-A Allen Parkway, Houston, Texas 77019-2191.

Contracts are issued by AGL in all states, except New York.

AGL is obligated to pay all amounts promised to investors under a contract issued by AGL.

Operation of the Company

The operations of the Company are influenced by many factors, including general economic conditions, monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government, and policies of state and other regulatory authorities. The level of sales of the Company’s financial and insurance products is influenced by many factors, including general market rates of interest, the strength, weakness and volatility of equity markets, terms and conditions of competing financial and insurance products and the relative value of such brands.

The Company is exposed to market risk, interest rate risk, contract Owner behavior risk and mortality/longevity risk. Market volatility may result in increased risks related to guaranteed death and Living Benefits on the Company’s financial and insurance products, as well as reduced fee income in the case of assets held in separate accounts, where applicable. These guaranteed benefits are sensitive to equity market and other conditions. The Company primarily uses capital market hedging strategies to help cover the risk of paying guaranteed Living Benefits in excess of account values as a result of significant downturns in equity markets or as a result of other factors. The Company has treaties to reinsure a portion of the guaranteed minimum income benefits and guaranteed death benefits for equity and mortality risk on some of its older contracts. Such risk mitigation may or may not reduce the volatility of net income and capital and surplus resulting from equity market volatility.

The Company is regulated for the benefit of contract Owners by the insurance regulator in its state of domicile; and also by all state insurance departments where it is licensed to conduct business. The Company is required by its regulators to hold a specified amount of reserves in order to meet its contractual obligations to contract Owners. Insurance regulations also require the Company to maintain additional surplus to protect against a financial impairment the amount of which is based on the risks inherent in the Company’s operations.

The Separate Account

Variable Separate Account is a separate account of AGL under Texas law. It may be used to support the contract and other variable annuity contracts, and used for other permitted purposes.

The Separate Account is registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Purchase Payments you make that are allocated to the Variable Portfolios are invested in the Separate Account. The Company owns the assets in the Separate Account and invests them on your behalf, according to your instructions. Purchase Payments invested in the Separate Account are not guaranteed and will fluctuate with the value of the Variable Portfolios you select. Therefore, you assume all of the investment risk for contract value allocated to the Variable Portfolios. These assets are kept separate from our General Account and may not be charged with liabilities arising from any other business we may conduct. Additionally, income gains and losses (realized and unrealized) resulting from assets in the Separate Account are credited to or charged against the Separate Account without regard to other income gains or losses of the Company.

You benefit from dividends received by the Separate Account through an increase in your unit value. The Company expects to benefit from these dividends through

tax credits and corporate dividends received deductions; however, these corporate deductions are not passed back to the Separate Account or to contract Owners.

The General Account

Obligations that are paid out of the Company’s general account (“General Account”) include any amounts you have allocated to available Fixed Accounts, including any interest credited thereon, and amounts owed under your contract for death benefits which are in excess of portions of contract value allocated to the Variable Portfolios. The obligations and guarantees under the contract are the sole responsibility of the Company. Therefore, payments of these obligations are subject to our financial strength and claims paying ability, and our long term ability to make such payments.

The General Account assets are invested in accordance with applicable state regulation. These assets are exposed to the typical risks normally associated with a portfolio of fixed income securities, namely interest rate, option, liquidity and credit risk. The Company manages its exposure to these risks by, among other things, closely monitoring and matching the duration and cash flows of its assets and liabilities, monitoring or limiting prepayment and extension risk in its portfolio, maintaining a large percentage of its portfolio in highly liquid securities and engaging in a disciplined process of underwriting, reviewing and monitoring credit risk.

Guarantee of Insurance Obligations

The Company’s insurance policy obligations for individual and group contracts issued prior to December 29, 2006 at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, are guaranteed (the “Guarantee”) by American Home Assurance Company (“American Home” or “Guarantor”).

As of December 29, 2006 at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (the “Point of Termination”), the Guarantee by American Home was terminated for prospectively issued contracts. The Guarantee will not cover any contracts or certificates with a date of issue later than the Point of Termination. The Guarantee will continue to cover individual contracts, individual certificates and group unallocated contracts with a date of issue earlier than the Point of Termination until all insurance obligations under such contracts or certificates are satisfied in full. Insurance obligations include, without limitation, contract value invested in any available Fixed Accounts, death benefits, Living Benefits and annuity income options.

Appendix B – Market Value Adjustment (“MVA”)

Depending on the issue date of your contract, your contract may offer multi-year Fixed Accounts. If you take money out of any available multi-year Fixed Accounts before the guarantee period ends, we may make an adjustment to your contract. We refer to this as a Market Value Adjustment (“MVA”). The MVA does not apply to any available one-year Fixed Accounts. The MVA reflects any difference in the interest rate environment between the time you placed your money in the multi-year Fixed Accounts and the time when you withdraw or transfer that money. Generally, this adjustment can increase or decrease your contract value or the amount of your withdrawal. If interest rates drop between the time you put your money into a multi-year Fixed Account and the time you take it out, we credit a positive adjustment to your contract. Conversely, if interest rates increase during the same period, we could post a negative adjustment to your contract. You have 30 days after the end of each guarantee period to reallocate your funds without application of any MVA.

Regardless of the outcome of the MVA calculation, application of the MVA to any partial or full withdrawal or transfer from the multi-year Fixed Accounts after May 2, 2005, will not result in a negative adjustment to your contract value or the withdrawal amount. Thus, the MVA will not result in a loss of principal or previously credited interest for transactions after May 2, 2005. You will continue to receive any positive adjustment resulting from application of the MVA.

The information below applies only if you take money out of multi-year Fixed Accounts before the end of the Guarantee Period.

We calculate the MVA by doing a comparison between current rates and the rate being credited to you in the Fixed Accounts. For the current rate we use a rate being offered by us for a guarantee period that is equal to the time remaining in the Fixed Accounts from which you seek withdrawal (rounded up to a full number of years). If we are not currently offering a guarantee period for that period of time, we determine an applicable rate by using a formula to arrive at a number based on the interest rates currently offered for the two closest periods available.

Where the MVA is positive, we add the adjustment to your withdrawal amount. If a withdrawal charge applies, it is deducted before the MVA calculation. The MVA is assessed on the amount withdrawn less any withdrawal charges.

The MVA is computed by multiplying the amount withdrawn, transferred or taken under an income option by the following factor:

[(1+I/(1+J+L)]N/12 – 1

where:

I is the interest rate you are earning on the money invested in the Fixed Account;

J is the interest rate then currently available for the period of time equal to the number of years remaining in the term you initially agreed to leave your money in the Fixed Account;

N is the number of full months remaining in the term you initially agreed to leave your money in the Fixed Account; and

L is 0.005 (Some states require a different value. Please see your contract.)

We do not assess an MVA against withdrawals from an Fixed Account under the following circumstances:

•

If a withdrawal or transfer made after May 2, 2005 results in a negative MVA calculation;

•

If a withdrawal or transfer is made within 30 days after the end of a guarantee period;

•

If a withdrawal or transfer is made to pay contract fees and charges;

•

To pay a death benefit; and

•

Upon beginning an income option, if occurring on the Latest Annuity Date.

Examples of the MVA

The purpose of the examples below is to show how the MVA adjustments are calculated and may not reflect the
Guarantee Periods available or withdrawal charges applicable under your contract.

The examples below assume the following:

(1)

You made an initial Purchase Payment of $10,000 and allocated it to a Fixed Account at a rate of 5%;

(2)

You make a partial withdrawal of $4,000 at a time when 18 months remain in the term you initially agreed to leave your money in the Fixed Account (N = 18);

(3)

You have not made any other transfers, additional Purchase Payments, or withdrawals; and

B-1

(4)

Your contract was issued in a state where L = 0.005.

Positive Adjustment, No Withdrawal Charge Applies

Assume that on the date of withdrawal, the interest rate in effect for new Purchase Payments in the 1-year Fixed Account is 3.5% and the 3-year Fixed Account is 4.5%. By linear interpolation, the interest rate for the remaining 2 years (18 months rounded up to the next full year) in the contract is calculated to be 4%. No withdrawal charge is reflected in this example, assuming that the Purchase Payment withdrawn falls within the penalty-free withdrawal amount.

The MVA factor is = [(1+I/(1+J+0.005)]N/12 – 1

= [(1.05)/(1.04+0.005)]18/12 – 1

= (1.004785)1.5 – 1

= 1.007186 – 1

= + 0.007186

The requested withdrawal amount is multiplied by the MVA factor to determine the MVA:

$4,000 × (+0.007186) = +$28.74

$28.74 represents the positive MVA that would be added to the withdrawal.

Positive Adjustment, Withdrawal Charge Applies

Assume that on the date of withdrawal, the interest rate in effect for new Purchase Payments in the 1-year Fixed Account is 3.5% and the 3-year Fixed Account is 4.5%. By linear interpolation, the interest rate for the remaining 2 years (18 months rounded up to the next full year) in the contract is calculated to be 4%. A withdrawal charge of 6% is reflected in this example, assuming that the Purchase Payment withdrawn exceeds the penalty-free withdrawal amount.

The MVA factor is = [(1+I)/(1+J+0.005)]N/12 – 1

= [(1.05)/(1.04+0.005)]18/12 – 1

= (1.004785)1.5 – 1

= 1.007186 – 1

= + 0.007186

The requested withdrawal amount, less the withdrawal charge ($4,000 – 6% = $3,760) is multiplied by the MVA factor to determine the MVA:

$3,760 × (+0.007186) = +$27.02

$27.02 represents the positive MVA that would be added to the withdrawal.

B-2

Appendix C – Death Benefits Following Spousal Continuation

Capitalized terms used in this Appendix have the same meaning as they have in prospectus.

We define “Continuation Net Purchase Payments” as Net Purchase Payments made as of the Continuation Date. For the purpose of calculating Continuation Net Purchase Payments, the amount that equals the contract value on the Continuation Date, including the Continuation Contribution is considered a Purchase Payment. If the Continuing Spouse makes no additional Purchase Payments or withdrawal, Continuation Net Purchase Payments equals the contract value on the Continuation Date, including the Continuation Contribution.

The term “withdrawals” as used in describing the death benefit options below is defined as withdrawals and any fees and charges applicable to those withdrawals.

The Company will not accept Purchase Payments from anyone age 86 or older. Furthermore, the death benefit calculations assume that no Purchase Payment are received on or after your 86th birthday.

The following details the death benefit options and EstatePlus benefit upon the Continuing Spouse’s death:

The death benefit we will pay to the new Beneficiary chosen by the Continuing Spouse varies depending on the death benefit option elected by the original owner of the contract and the age of the Continuing Spouse as of the Continuation Date.

The following is a description of the Death Benefit Options Payable Following Spousal Continuation for contracts issued on or after June 1, 2004:

Purchase Payment Accumulation Option

If the Continuing Spouse is age 74 or younger on the Continuation Date, the death benefit will be the greatest of:

Contract value; or

Continuation Net Purchase Payments, compounded at 3% annual growth rate, to the earlier of the Continuing Spouse’s 75th birthday or date of death; reduced for withdrawals after the 75th birthday in the same proportion that the contract value was reduced on the date of such withdrawal, and adjusted for any Purchase Payments received after the Continuing Spouse’s 75th birthday; or

Contract value on the seventh contract anniversary (from the original contract issue date), reduced for withdrawals since the seventh contract anniversary in the same proportion that the contract value was reduced on the date of such withdrawal, and adjusted for any Purchase Payments received after the seventh contract anniversary date.

If the Continuing Spouse is age 75-82 on the Continuation Date, then the death benefit will be the greatest of:

Contract value; or

Continuation Net Purchase Payments; or

Maximum anniversary value on any contract anniversary that occurred after the Continuation Date, but prior to the earlier of the Continuing Spouse’s 83rd birthday or date of death. The anniversary value for any year is equal to the contract value on the applicable contract anniversary date, reduced for withdrawals since that contract anniversary in the same proportion that the contract value was reduced on the date of such withdrawal, and adjusted for any Purchase Payments received since that anniversary date.

If the Continuing Spouse is age 83-85 on the Continuation Date, then the death benefit will be the greatest of:

Contract value; or

the lesser of:

(1)

Continuation Net Purchase Payments; or

(2)

125% of the contract value.

If the Continuing Spouse is age 86 or older on the Continuation Date, the death benefit will be equal to the contract value.

Maximum Anniversary Value Option

If the Continuing Spouse is age 82 or younger on the Continuation Date, then upon the death of the Continuing Spouse, the death benefit will be the greatest of:

Contract value; or

Continuation Net Purchase Payments; or

Maximum anniversary value on any contract anniversary that occurred after the Continuation Date, but prior to the earlier of the Continuing Spouse’s 83rd birthday or date of death. The anniversary value for any year is equal to the contract value on the applicable contract anniversary date after the Continuation Date, reduced for withdrawals since that contract anniversary in the same proportion that the contract value was reduced on the date of such withdrawal, and adjusted for any Purchase Payments received since that anniversary date.

C-1

If the Continuing Spouse is age 83-85 on the Continuation Date, then the death benefit will be the greater of:

Contract value; or

the lesser of:

(1)

Continuation Net Purchase Payments; or

(2)

125% of the contract value.

If the Continuing Spouse is age 86 or older on the Continuation Date or age 90 or older at the time of death, the death benefit is equal to contract value.

The following is a description of the Death Benefit Options Payable Following Spousal Continuation for contracts issued between October 24, 2001 and June 1, 2004:

Purchase Payment Accumulation Option Payable Upon Continuing Spouse’s Death

If a Continuation Contribution is added on the Continuation Date, the death benefit is the greatest of:

Contract value on the seventh contract anniversary following the original issue date of the contract, plus any Purchase Payments since the seventh contract anniversary and reduced for any Gross Withdrawals recorded after the seventh contract anniversary in the same proportion that the Gross Withdrawal reduced the contract value on the date of the Gross Withdrawal, all compounded at a 4% annual growth rate until the date of death (3% annual growth rate if the Continuing Spouse is age 70 or older on the Continuation Date) plus any Purchase Payments; and reduced for any withdrawals recorded after the date of death in the same proportion that each withdrawal reduced the contract value on the date of the withdrawal.

If a Continuation Contribution is not added on the Continuation Date, the death benefit is the greater of:

Net Purchase Payments made from the original contract issue date compounded to the date of death at a 4% annual growth rate, (3% growth rate if the Continuing Spouse was age 70 or older on the original contract issue date) plus any Purchase Payments recorded after the date of death; and

reduced for any Gross Withdrawals recorded after the date of death in the same proportion that each Gross Withdrawal reduced the contract value on the date of the withdrawal; or

Contract value on the seventh contract anniversary following the original issue date of the contract, plus any Purchase Payments since the seventh contract anniversary; and reduced for any Gross Withdrawals since the seventh contract anniversary in the same proportion that each Gross Withdrawal reduced the contract value on the date of the Gross Withdrawal, all compounded at a 4% annual growth rate until the date of death (3% annual growth rate if the Continuing Spouse is age 70 or older on the contract issue date) plus any Purchase Payments; and reduced for any Gross Withdrawals recorded after the date of death in the same proportion that each Gross Withdrawal reduced the contract value on the date of the Gross Withdrawal.

Maximum Anniversary Value Option Payable Upon Continuing Spouse’s Death

If the Continuing Spouse is below age 90 at the time of death, and:

If a Continuation Contribution is added on the Continuation Date, the death benefit is the greatest of:

Contract value; or

Continuation Net Purchase Payments; or

Maximum anniversary value on any contract anniversary occurring after the Continuation Date and prior to the Continuing Spouse’s 81st birthday. The anniversary value equals the contract value on a contract anniversary plus any Purchase Payments made since that contract anniversary; and reduced for any Gross Withdrawals recorded since the contract anniversary in the same proportion that each Gross Withdrawal reduced the contract value on the date of the Gross Withdrawal. Contract anniversary is defined as any anniversary following the full 12 month period after the original contract issue date.

If a Continuation Contribution is not added on the Continuation Date, the death benefit is the greatest of:

Contract value; or

Net Purchase Payments received since the original issue date; or

C-2

reduced each contract value on the date of the Gross Withdrawal. Contract anniversary is defined as the full 12 month period after the original contract issue date.

If the Continuing Spouse is age 90 or older at the time of death, their beneficiary will receive only the contract value.

The following is a description of the Death Benefit Options Payable Following Spousal Continuation for contracts issued prior to October 24, 2001:

Purchase Payment Accumulation Option Payable Upon Continuing Spouse’s Death

If a Continuation Contribution is added on the Continuation Date, the death benefit is the greater of:

The Continuation Contribution is considered a Purchase Payment received on the Continuation Date.

If a Continuation Contribution is not added on the Continuation Date, the death benefit is the greater of:

Continuation Net Purchase Payments plus Purchase Payments made since the Continuation Date; and reduced for withdrawals in the same proportion that the contract value was reduced on the date of such withdrawal; or

Maximum anniversary value on any contract anniversary occurring after the Continuation Date prior to the Continuing Spouse’s 81st birthday. The anniversary value equals the contract value on a contract anniversary plus any Purchase Payments since that contract anniversary; and reduced for any withdrawals recorded since that contract anniversary in the same proportion that the withdrawal reduced the contract value on the date of the withdrawal. Contract anniversary is defined as any anniversary following the full 12 month period after the original contract issue date.

Contract anniversary is defined as any anniversary following the full 12 month period after the original contract issue date.

If the Continuing Spouse is age 90 or older at the time of death, their beneficiary will receive only the contract value.

The EstatePlus Benefit Payable upon Continuing Spouse’s Death:

The EstatePlus benefit is only available if the original owner elected EstatePlus and the Continuing Spouse is age 80 or younger on the Continuation Date. EstatePlus is not payable after the Latest Annuity Date.

If the Continuing Spouse had earnings in the contract at the time of his/her death, we will add a percentage of those earnings (the “EstatePlus Percentage”), subject to a maximum dollar amount (the “Maximum EstatePlus

C-3

Percentage”), to the death benefit payable. The contract year of death will determine the EstatePlus Percentage and the Maximum EstatePlus benefit. The EstatePlus benefit, if any, is added to the death benefit payable under the Purchase Payment Accumulation or the Maximum Anniversary Value option.

On the Continuation Date, if the Continuing Spouse is 69 or younger, the table below shows the available EstatePlus benefit:

Contract Year of Death	EstatePlus Percentage	Maximum EstatePlus Benefit
Years 0-4	25% of Earnings	40% of Continuation Net Purchase Payments*
Years 5-9	40% of Earnings	65% of Continuation Net Purchase Payments*
Years 10+	50% of Earnings	75% of Continuation Net Purchase Payments*

On the Continuation Date, if the Continuing Spouse is between his/her 70th and 81st birthdays, table below shows the available EstatePlus benefit:

Contract Year of Death	EstatePlus Percentage	Maximum EstatePlus Benefit
All Contract Years	25% of Earnings	40% of Continuation Net Purchase Payments*

Purchase Payments received after the 5th anniversary of the Continuation Date must remain in the contract for at least 6 full months to be included as part of the Continuation Net Purchase Payments for the purpose of the Maximum EstatePlus Benefit calculation.

Contract Year of Death is the number of full 12-month periods starting on the Continuation Date and ending on the Continuing Spouse’s date of death. The Contract Year of Death is used to determine the EstatePlus Percentage and Maximum EstatePlus benefit as indicated in the tables above.

What is the EstatePlus benefit?

We determine the EstatePlus benefit using the EstatePlus Percentage, as indicated in the tables above, which is a specified percentage of the earnings in the contract at the time of the Continuing Spouse’s death. For the purpose of this calculation, earnings equals (1) minus (2) where

(1)

equals the contract value on the Continuing Spouse’s date of death;

(2)

equals the Continuation Net Purchase Payment(s).

What is the Maximum EstatePlus amount?

The EstatePlus benefit is subject to a maximum dollar amount. The Maximum EstatePlus benefit is equal to a specified percentage of the Continuation Net Purchase Payments, as indicated in the tables above.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend or terminate the Spousal Continuation provision (in its entirety or any component) at any time with respect to prospectively issued contracts.

Appendix E – death benefit examples

The following examples assume your contract was issued on or after June 1, 2004 and demonstrate how market performance, subsequent Purchase Payments, and withdrawals impact the death benefit.

The examples are based on a hypothetical contract over an extended period of time and do not assume any specific rate of return nor do they represent how your contract will actually perform.

Examples 1 through 5 below assume election of Purchase Payment Accumulation Option

Example 1: Initial Values

The values shown below are based on the following assumptions:

•

Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000

•

Owner age 65 on the Issue Date

Values as of	Purchase Payment Invested	Contract Value	Net Purchase Payments	Purchase Payment Accumulation Death Benefit
Issue Date	$100,000	$100,000	$100,000	$100,000

Example 2: Impact of Adding Subsequent Purchase Payments

The values shown below are based on the assumptions stated in Example 1 above, in addition to the following:

•

Subsequent Purchase Payment invested in the second Contract Year = $25,000.

•

No withdrawals taken in the first 2 Contract Years.

Values as of	Purchase Payment Invested	Assumed Contract Value	Purchase Payment Accumulation @3%	Purchase Payment Accumulation Death Benefit
Contract Date	$100,000	$100,000	$100,000	$100,000
1st Anniversary	–	$115,000	$103,000	$115,000
Year 2 – Day 200	$25,000	$127,000	$129,682	$129,682
2nd Anniversary	–	$145,000	$131,426	$145,000

The values of the death benefit are impacted by adding subsequent Purchase Payments and the Contract Value at the time the death benefit is calculated.

•

At 1st anniversary, Purchase Payment Accumulation (“PPA”) increased 3% to $103,000 [$100,000 × (1 + 3%)], however Contract Value was greater; therefore, the death benefit was $115,000.

•

At year 2 day 200 Purchase Payment Accumulation increased by 3% for 200 days before adding the Subsequent Purchase Payment.

○

Purchase Payment Accumulation increased to $129,682 {$103,000 × [(1 + 3%)^(200/365)] + $25,000}

•

At 2nd anniversary, Purchase Payment Accumulation increased by 3% for another 165 days to $131,426 {$129,682 × [(1 + 3%)^(165/365)]}, however Contract Value was greater; therefore, the death benefit was $145,000.

E-1

Example 3: Impact of withdrawals on Purchase Payment Accumulation Option

The values shown below are based on the assumptions stated in Examples 1 and 2 above, in addition to the following:

•

A withdrawal of $15,000 was taken in the third Contract Year.

Values as of	Assumed Contract Value	Withdrawal Taken	Purchase Payment Accumulation @3%	Purchase Payment Accumulation Option Death Benefit
2nd Anniversary	$145,000	–	$131,426	$145,000
Year 3 – Day 100	$156,000	$15,000	$119,755	$141,000
3rd Anniversary	$144,000	–	$122,353	$144,000

•

The Purchase Payment Accumulation reduced in the same proportion by which the Contract Value is reduced by withdrawal amount.

○

In year 3 – day 100, the reduction proportion was 9.6154% ($15,000/$156,000); the PPA reduced to $119,755 {$131,426 × [(1 + 3%)^(100/365)] × (1 – 9.6154%)}; PPA was less than the Contract Value; therefore, the death benefit was $141,000 ($156,000 – $15,000).

○

At 3rd anniversary, PPA increased by 3% for the remainder of the contract year to $122,353 {$119,755 × [(1 + 3%)^(265/365)]}, however the Contract Value was greater; therefore, the death benefit was $144,000.

Example 4: Purchase Payment Accumulation Option and 7th Contract Anniversary Value

The values shown below are based on the assumptions stated in Examples 1, 2, and 3 above, in addition to the following:

•

The Purchase Payment Accumulation increases each year by 3%

•

7th year Anniversary Value is locked in for the death benefit

Values as of	Assumed Contract Value	Anniversary Value	Purchase Payment Accumulation @3%	7th Anniversary Value Purchase Payment Accumulation	Purchase Payment Accumulation Option Death Benefit
3rd Anniversary	$144,000	$144,000	$122,353	–	$144,000
4th Anniversary	$178,000	$178,000	$126,023	–	$178,000
5th Anniversary	$190,000	$190,000	$129,804	–	$190,000
6th Anniversary	$150,000	$150,000	$133,698	–	$150,000
7th Anniversary	$146,000	$146,000	$137,709	$146,000	$146,000

•

At 4th anniversary, Purchase Payment Accumulation increased by 3% to $126,023 [$122,353 × (1 + 3%)]

•

At 5th anniversary, Purchase Payment Accumulation increased by 3% to $129,804 [$126,023 × (1 + 3%)]

•

At 6th anniversary, Purchase Payment Accumulation increased by 3% to $133,698 [$129,804 × (1 + 3%)]

•

At 7th anniversary, Purchase Payment Accumulation increased by 3% to $137,709 [$133,698 × (1 + 3%)], however the 7th Anniversary Value of $146,000 was greater ; therefore, the death benefit was $146,000.

E-2

Example 5: Impact of withdrawals after 7th Contract Anniversary Lock In

The values shown below are based on the assumptions stated in Examples 1, 2, 3, and 4 above, in addition to the following:

•

A withdrawal of $10,000 was taken in year 8 and year 9

Values as of	Assumed Contract Value	Withdrawal Taken	Purchase Payment Accumulation @3%	7th Anniversary Value Purchase Payment Accumulation	Purchase Payment Accumulation Death Benefit
7th Anniversary	$146,000	–	$137,709	$146,000	$146,000
Year 8 – Day 20	$147,000	$10,000	$128,549	$136,068	$137,000
8th Anniversary	$122,000	–	$132,191	$136,068	$136,068
Year 9 – Day 40	$80,000	$10,000	$116,043	$119,060	$119,060
9th Anniversary	$82,000	–	$119,138	$119,060	$119,138

•

After 7th anniversary, the Purchase Payment Accumulation continues to increase by 3% compounding. Both PPA and 7th Anniversary Purchase Payment Accumulation values reduce proportionately for withdrawals taken.

○

In year 8 – day 20, the reduction proportion was 6.8027% ($10,000/$147,000); the Purchase Payment Accumulation increased by 3% for 20 days and reduced for the withdrawal to $128,549 {$137,709 × [(1 + 3%)^(20/365)] × (1 – 6.8027%)}; the 7th Anniversary Purchase Payment Accumulation reduced to $136,068 [$146,000 × (1 – 6.8027%)]; the Contract Value was $137,000 ($147,000 – $10,000); therefore, the death benefit was $137,000.

○

At 8th anniversary, Purchase Payments Accumulation increased by 3% for the remainder of the year to $132,191 {$128,549 × [(1 + 3%)^(345/365)]}, however the 7th Anniversary Value Purchase Payment Accumulation was greater than PPA and Contract Value; therefore, the death benefit was $136,068.

○

In year 9 – day 40, the reduction proportion was 12.50% ($10,000/$80,000); the Purchase Payment Accumulation increased by 3% for 40 days and reduced for the withdrawal to $116,043 {$132,191 × [(1 + 3%)^(40/365)] × (1 – 12.50%)}; the 7th Anniversary Purchase Payment Accumulation reduced to $119,060 [$136,068 × (1 – 12.50%)]; the death benefit was $119,060.

○

At 9th anniversary, Purchase Payment Accumulation increased by 3% for the remainder of the year to $119,138 {$116,043 × [(1+3%)^(325/365)]} and was greater than the 7th Anniversary Value Purchase Payment Accumulation value and Contract Value; therefore, the death benefit was $119,138.

Examples 6 through 8 below assume election of Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit Option with optional EstatePlus

Example 6: Initial Values

The values shown below are based on the following assumptions:

•

Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000

•

Owner age 65 on the Issue Date

Values as of	Purchase Payment Invested	Contract Value	Net Purchase Payments	Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit
Issue Date	$100,000	$100,000	$100,000	$100,000

E-3

Example 7: Impact of Adding Subsequent Purchase Payments

The values shown below are based on the assumptions stated in Example 6 above, in addition to the following:

•

Subsequent Purchase Payment invested in the second Contract Year = $25,000.

•

No withdrawals taken in the first 2 Contract Years.

Values as of	Purchase Payment Invested	Assumed Contract Value	Anniversary Value	Net Purchase Payments	Maximum Anniversary Value	Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit	EstatePlus
Contract Date	$100,000	$100,000	–	$100,000	–	$100,000	$0
1st Anniversary	–	$115,000	$115,000	$100,000	$115,000	$115,000	$3,750
Year 2 – Day 200	$25,000	$127,000	–	$125,000	$140,000	$140,000	$500
2nd Anniversary	–	$145,000	$145,000	$125,000	$145,000	$145,000	$5,000

The values of the death benefit are impacted by adding subsequent Purchase Payments and locking in the higher Anniversary Values as follows:

•

The Maximum Anniversary Value is increased to a Higher Anniversary Value on each Benefit Year Anniversary if the Anniversary Value is greater than the current Maximum Anniversary Value.

○

At 1st anniversary, the Contract Value increased and was locked in; the MAV death benefit was $115,000.

•

The Net Purchase Payments (“NPP”) and Maximum Anniversary Value (“MAV”) Death Benefit are recalculated at the time each subsequent Purchase Payment is received.

○

In year 2, the $25,000 subsequent Purchase Payment increased NPP to $125,000 ($100,000 + $25,000); MAV increased to $140,000 ($115,000 + $25,000); the MAV death benefit was $140,000.

○

At 2nd anniversary, the Contract Value increased and was locked in; the MAV death benefit was $145,000.

•

EstatePlus would provide and Earnings Enhancement if death were to occur at any of the following:

○

1st Anniversary: $3,750 [($115,000 – $100,000) × 25%]

○

Year 2 – Day 200: $500 [($127,000 – $125,000) × 25%]

○

2nd Anniversary: $5,000 [($145,000 – $125,000) × 25%]

Example 8: Impact of withdrawals on Net Purchase Payments and Maximum Anniversary Value

The values shown below are based on the assumptions stated in Examples 6 and 7 above, in addition to the following:

•

A withdrawal of $15,000 was taken in the third Contract Year.

Values as of	Assumed Contract Value	Withdrawal Taken	Anniversary Value	Net Purchase Payments	Maximum Anniversary Value	Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit	EstatePlus
2nd Anniversary	$145,000	–	$145,000	$125,000	$145,000	$145,000	$5,000
Year 3 – Day 100	$156,000	$15,000	–	$112,981	$131,058	$141,000	$7,005
3rd Anniversary	$144,000	–	$144,000	$112,981	$144,000	$144,000	$7,755

•

The Net Purchase Payments and Maximum Anniversary Value are reduced in the same proportion by which the Contract Value is reduced by the withdrawal amount.

○

In year 3, the reduction proportion was 9.6154% ($15,000/$156,000); the NPP reduced to $112,981 [$125,000 × (1 – 9.6154%)]; the MAV reduced to $131,058 [$145,000 × (1 – 9.6154%)]; the MAV death benefit was $141,000 ($156,000 – $15,000).

•

EstatePlus would provide and Earnings Enhancement if death were to occur at any of the following:

○

Year 3 – Day 100: $7,005 [($141,000 – $112,981) × 25%]

○

3rd Anniversary: $7,755 [($144,000 – $112,981) × 25%]

Appendix G – Living Benefit Examples

The following examples demonstrate how market performance, subsequent Purchase Payments, and withdrawals impact the Income Protector Living Benefit, and how the final Income Annuity Payment under the Living Benefit is determined.

The examples are based on a hypothetical contract over an extended period of time and do not assume any specific rate of return nor do they represent how your contract will actually perform. The examples assume election of the optional Plus Income Protector with a growth rate of 3.25%.

Example 1: Initial Values

The values shown below are based on the following assumptions:

•

Initial Purchase Payment = $100,000

Values as of	Contract Value Before	Purchase Payment Invested	Contract Value After	Income Benefit Base
Issue Date	$100,000	$100,000	$100,000	$100,000

Income Benefit Base was the initial Purchase Payment of $100,000.

Example 2: Impact of Adding Subsequent Purchase Payments

The values shown below are based on the assumptions stated in Example 1 above, in addition to the following:

•

Subsequent Purchase Payment invested on day 80 of $50,000.

•

No withdrawals taken in the first Contract Year.

Values as of	Assumed Contract ValueBefore	Purchase Payment Invested	Contract ValueAfter	Income Benefit Base
Contract Date	$0	$100,000	$100,000	$100,000
Year 1 – Day 80	$105,000	$50,000	$155,000	$150,703
1st Anniversary	$160,000	-	$160,000	$154,514

•

In day 80, the Income Benefit Base interest accrued before the $50,000 subsequent Purchase Payment increased the value dollar-for-dollar to $150,703 {$100,000 x [(1 + 3.25%)^(80/365)] + $50,000)}.

•

At the 1st Contract Anniversary, the Income Benefit Base increased by 3.25% for another 285 days to $154,514 {$150,703 x [(1 + 3.25%)^(285/365)]}.

Example 3: Impact of Withdrawals on Income Benefit Base

The values shown below are based on the assumptions stated in Examples 1 and 2 above, in addition to the following:

•

A withdrawal of $17,000 was taken in the third Contract Year.

Values as of	Assumed Contract Value Before	Withdrawal Taken	Contract Value After	Income Benefit Base
2nd Anniversary	$168,000	–	$168,000	$159,536
Year 3 – Day 100	$170,000	$17,000	$153,000	$144,846
3rd Anniversary	$144,000	–	$144,000	$148,249

•

The Income Benefit Base reduced in the same proportion by which the Contract Value is reduced by withdrawal amount.

○

In year 3 – day 100, the proportionate reduction was 10.0% ($17,000/$170,000); the Income Benefit Base reduced to $144,846 {$159,536 × [(1 + 3.25%)^(100/365) x (1 – 10%)]}.

○

At 3rd Anniversary, the Income Benefit Base increased by 3.25% for the remainder of the contract year to $148,249 {$144,846 × [(1 + 3.25%)^(265/365)]}.

G-1

Example 4: The Final Income Benefit Base at the Income Benefit Date

The values shown below are based on the assumptions stated in Example 3 above, in addition to the following:

•

No withdrawals or subsequent Purchase Payments are made up to the Income Benefit Date.

•

No tax or any charges on and after the Income Benefit Date.

Values as of	Assumed Contract Value	Income Benefit Base	Final Income Benefit Base
4th Anniversary	$178,000	$153,067	–
5th Anniversary	$190,000	$158,042	–
6th Anniversary	$150,000	$163,178	–
7th Anniversary	$146,000	$168,481	$168,481

•

At the Income Benefit Date of the 7th Contract Anniversary, the Income Benefit Base increased by 3.25% every year to $168,481; the Contract Value is $146,000

Example 5: How the Income Payments are Determined

The values shown below are based on the assumptions stated in Example 4 above, in addition to the following:

•

Assume Annuitant elects to receive income payments on contract anniversary, using the Plus Income Protector feature of $168,481, rather than the Contract Value.

•

Assume Annuitant’s Attained age is 70 at the Annuitization date, of both the single and joint scenarios.

	Monthly Annuity Factor	Annual Annuity Payment
Male Age 70*	5.83	$11,787
Female Age 70*	5.17	$10,453
Joint** Male 70 Female 70	4.45	$8,997

Separate Account and the Company

American General Life Insurance Company (“AGL” or the “Company”) is a stock life insurance company organized under the laws of the State of Texas on April 11, 1960. AGL is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Corebridge Financial, Inc. (“Corebridge”). AGL offers individual term and universal life insurance, as well as fixed, variable and registered index-linked annuities in all states except in New York.

On December 31, 2012, SunAmerica Annuity and Life Assurance Company (“SunAmerica Annuity”), American General Assurance Company (“AGAC”), American General Life and Accident Insurance Company (“AGLA”), American General Life Insurance Company of Delaware (“AGLD”), SunAmerica Life Insurance Company (“SALIC”) and Western National Life Insurance Company, (“WNL”), affiliates of American General Life Insurance Company, merged with and into American General Life Insurance Company (“Merger”). Prior to this date, the Polaris II contracts were issued by SunAmerica Annuity in all states except New York.

Variable Separate Account (“Separate Account”) was originally established by Anchor National Life Insurance Company (“Anchor National”) under Arizona law on January 1, 1996 when it assumed the Separate Account, originally established under California law on June 25, 1981. Effective March 1, 2003, Anchor National changed its name to AIG SunAmerica Life Assurance Company (“SunAmerica Life”). Effective July 20, 2009, SunAmerica Life changed its name to SunAmerica Annuity and Life Assurance Company. These were name changes only and did not affect the substance of any contract. Prior to December 31, 2012, the Separate Account was a separate account of SunAmerica Annuity. On December 31, 2012, and in conjunction with the merger of AGL and SunAmerica Annuity, the Separate Account was transferred to and became a Separate Account of AGL under Texas law.

The Separate Account meets the definition of a “Separate Account” under the federal securities laws and is registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940. This registration does not involve supervision of the management of the Separate Account or the Company by the SEC.

The assets of the Separate Account are the property of the Company. However, the assets of the Separate Account, equal to its reserves and other contract liabilities, are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business the Company may conduct. Income, gains, and losses, whether or not realized, from assets allocated to the Separate Account are credited to or charged against the Separate Account without regard to other income, gains, or losses of the Company.

The Separate Account is divided into Variable Portfolios, with the assets of each Variable Portfolio invested in the shares of one of the Underlying Funds. The Company does not guarantee the investment performance of the Separate Account, its Variable Portfolios or the Underlying Funds. Values allocated to the Separate Account and the amount of variable annuity income payments will vary with the values of shares of the Underlying Funds, and are also reduced by contract charges and fees.

The basic objective of a variable annuity contract is to provide variable annuity income payments which will be to some degree responsive to changes in the economic environment, including inflationary forces and changes in rates of return available from various types of investments. The contract is designed to seek to accomplish this objective by providing that variable annuity income payments will reflect the investment performance of the Separate Account with respect to amounts allocated to it both before and after the Annuity Date. Since the Separate Account is always fully invested in shares of the Underlying Funds, its investment performance reflects the investment performance of those entities. The values of such shares held by the Separate Account fluctuate and are subject to the risks of changing economic conditions as well as the risk inherent in the ability of the Underlying Funds’ management to make necessary changes in their funds to anticipate changes in economic conditions. Therefore, the owner bears the entire investment risk that the basic objectives of the contract may not be realized, and that the adverse effects of inflation may not be lessened. There can be no assurance that the aggregate amount of variable annuity income payments will equal or exceed the Purchase Payments made with respect to a particular account for the reasons described above, or because of the premature death of an Annuitant.

Another important feature of the contract related to its basic objective is the Company’s promise that the dollar amount of variable annuity income payments made during the lifetime of the Annuitant will not be adversely affected by the actual mortality experience of the Company or by the actual expenses incurred by the Company in excess of expense deductions provided for in the contract (although the Company does not guarantee the amounts of the variable annuity income payments).

American Home is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of American International Group, Inc.

Custodian

The Company acts as custodian of the Separate Account. We have custody of all assets and cash of the Separate Account and handle the collection of proceeds of shares of the Underlying Funds bought and sold by the Separate Account.

General Account

The general account is made up of all of the general assets of the Company other than those allocated to the Separate Account or any other segregated asset account of the Company. A Purchase Payment may be allocated to the available fixed account options and/or available DCA fixed accounts in connection with the general account, as elected by the owner at the time of purchasing a contract or when making a subsequent Purchase Payment. Assets supporting amounts allocated to fixed account options become part of the Company’s general account assets and are available to fund the claims of all classes of customers of the Company, as well as of its creditors. Accordingly, all of the Company’s assets held in the general account will be available to fund the Company’s obligations under the contracts as well as such other claims.

The Company will invest the assets of the general account in the manner chosen by the Company and allowed by applicable state laws regarding the nature and quality of investments that may be made by life insurance companies and the percentage of their assets that may be committed to any particular type of investment. In general, these laws permit investments, within specified limits and subject to certain qualifications, in federal, state and municipal obligations, corporate bonds, preferred and common stocks, real estate mortgages, real estate and certain other investments.

Annuity Income Payments

Initial Monthly Annuity Income Payments

The initial monthly annuity income payment is determined by applying separately that portion of the contract value allocated to the fixed account options and the Variable Portfolio(s), less any premium tax if applicable, and then applying it to the annuity table specified in the contract for fixed and variable annuity income payments. Those tables are based on a set amount per $1,000 of proceeds applied. The appropriate rate must be determined by the sex (except where, as in the case of certain Qualified contracts and other employer-sponsored retirement plans, such classification is not permitted) and age of the Annuitant and designated second person, if any, and the annuity income option selected.

The dollars applied are then divided by 1,000 and the result multiplied by the appropriate annuity factor appearing in the table to compute the amount of the first monthly annuity income payment. In the case of a variable annuity, that amount is divided by the value of an Annuity Unit as of the Annuity Date to establish the number of Annuity Units representing each variable annuity income payment. The number of Annuity Units determined for the first monthly variable annuity income payment remains constant for the second and subsequent monthly variable annuity income payments, assuming that no reallocation of contract values is made.

Subsequent Monthly Annuity Income Payments

For fixed annuity income payments, the amount of the second and each subsequent monthly fixed annuity income payment is the same as that determined above for the first fixed monthly annuity income payment.

For variable annuity income payments, the amount of the second and each subsequent monthly variable annuity income payment is determined by multiplying the number of Annuity Units, as determined in connection with the

-4-

determination of the initial monthly variable annuity income payment, above, by the Annuity Unit value as of the day preceding the date on which each monthly variable annuity income payment is due.

Annuity Unit Values

The value of an Annuity Unit is determined independently for each Variable Portfolio.

The annuity tables contained in the contract are based on a 3.5% per annum assumed investment rate. If the actual net investment rate experienced by a Variable Portfolio exceeds 3.5%, variable annuity income payments derived from allocations to that Variable Portfolio will increase over time. Conversely, if the actual rate is less than 3.5%, variable annuity income payments will decrease over time. If the net investment rate equals 3.5%, the variable annuity income payments will remain constant. If a higher assumed investment rate had been used, the initial monthly variable annuity income payment would be higher, but the actual net investment rate would also have to be higher in order for variable annuity income payments to increase (or not to decrease).

The payee receives the value of a fixed number of Annuity Units each month. The value of a fixed number of Annuity Units will reflect the investment performance of the Variable Portfolios elected, and the amount of each monthly variable annuity income payment will vary accordingly.

For each Variable Portfolio, the value of an Annuity Unit is determined by multiplying the Annuity Unit value for the preceding month by the Net Investment Factor for the month for which the Annuity Unit value is being calculated. The result is then multiplied by a second factor which offsets the effect of the assumed net investment rate of 3.5% per annum which is assumed in the annuity tables contained in the contract.

Net Investment Factor

The Net Investment Factor (“NIF”) is an index applied to measure the net investment performance of a Variable Portfolio from one day to the next. The NIF may be greater or less than or equal to one; therefore, the value of an Annuity Unit may increase, decrease or remain the same.

The NIF for any Variable Portfolio for a certain month is determined by dividing (a) by (b) where:

(a)

is the Accumulation Unit value of the Variable Portfolio determined as of the end of that month, and

(b)

is the Accumulation Unit value of the Variable Portfolio determined as of the end of the preceding month.

The NIF for a Variable Portfolio for a given month is a measure of the net investment performance of the Variable Portfolio from the end of the prior month to the end of the given month. A NIF of 1.000 results in no change; a NIF greater than 1.000 results in an increase; and a NIF less than 1.000 results in a decrease. The NIF is increased (or decreased) in accordance with the increases (or decreases, respectively) in the value of a share of the underlying fund in which the Variable Portfolio invests; it is also reduced by Separate Account asset charges.

Illustrative Example

Assume that one share of a given Variable Portfolio had an Accumulation Unit value of $11.46 as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on the last business day in September; that its Accumulation Unit value had been $11.44 at the close of the NYSE on the last business day at the end of the previous month. The NIF for the month of September is:

NIF	=	($11.46/$11.44)
	=	1.00174825

The change in Annuity Unit value for a Variable Portfolio from one month to the next is determined in part by multiplying the Annuity Unit value at the prior month end by the NIF for that Variable Portfolio for the new month. In addition, however, the result of that computation must also be multiplied by an additional factor that takes into account, and neutralizes, the assumed investment rate of 3.5 percent per annum upon which the variable annuity income payment tables are based. For example, if the net investment rate for a Variable Portfolio (reflected in the NIF) were equal to the assumed investment rate, the variable annuity income payments should remain constant (i.e.,

-5-

the Annuity Unit value should not change). The monthly factor that neutralizes the assumed investment rate of 3.5 percent per annum is:

		(1/12)
1/	[(1.035)		]	=	0.99713732

In the example given above, if the Annuity Unit value for the Variable Portfolio was $10.103523 on the last business day in August, the Annuity Unit value on the last business day in September would have been:

$10.103523 x 1.00174825 x 0.99713732 = $10.092213

To determine the initial variable annuity income payment, the annuity income payment for variable annuitization is calculated based on our mortality expectations and an assumed investment rate (AIR) of 3.5%. Thus the initial variable annuity income payment is the same as the initial payment for a fixed interest payout annuity calculated at an effective rate of 3.5%.

The NIF measures the performance of the funds that are basis for the amount of future variable annuity income payments. This performance is compared to the monthly AIR, and if the rate of growth in the NIF is the same as the monthly AIR the payment remains the same as the prior month. If the rate of growth of the NIF is different than the AIR, then the payment is changed proportionately to the ratio NIF / (1+AIR), calculated on a monthly basis. If the NIF is less than the AIR, then this proportion is less than one and payments are decreased.

Variable Annuity Income Payments

Illustrative Example

Assume that a contract has all of its account value allocated to a single Variable Portfolio. As of the last valuation preceding the Annuity Date, the account was credited with 7543.2456 Accumulation Units, each having a value of $15.432655 (i.e., the account value is equal to 7543.2456 x $15.432655 = $116,412.31). Assume also that the Annuity Unit value for the Variable Portfolio on that same date is $13.256932, and that the Annuity Unit value on the day immediately prior to the second variable annuity income payment date is $13.327695.

The first variable annuity income payment is determined using the annuity factor tables specified in the contract. These tables supply monthly annuity income payment factors, determined by the sex, age of the Annuitant and annuity income option selected, for each $1,000 of applied contract value. If the applicable factor is 5.21 for the annuitant in this hypothetical example, the first variable annuity income payment is determined by multiplying the factor of $5.21 by the result of dividing the account value by $1,000:

First variable annuity income payment = $5.21 x ($116,412.31/$1000) = $606.51

The number of Annuity Units (which will be constant unless the account values is transferred to another account) is also determined at this time and is equal to the amount of the first variable annuity income payment divided by the value of an Annuity Unit on the day immediately prior to annuitization:

Annuity Units = $606.51/$13.256932 = 45.750404

The second variable annuity income payment is determined by multiplying the number of Annuity Units by the Annuity Unit value as of the day immediately prior to the second variable annuity payment due date:

Second variable annuity income payment = 45.750404 x $13.327695 = $609.75

The third and subsequent variable annuity income payments are computed in a manner similar to the second variable annuity income payment.

Note that the amount of the first variable annuity income payment depends on the contract value in the relevant Variable Portfolio on the Annuity Date and thus reflects the investment performance of the Variable Portfolio net of fees and charges during the Accumulation Phase. The amount of that payment determines the number of Annuity Units, which will remain constant during the Annuity Phase (assuming no transfers from the Variable Portfolio). The net investment performance of the Variable Portfolio during the Annuity Phase is reflected in continuing changes during this phase in the Annuity Unit value, which determines the amounts of the second and subsequent variable annuity income payments.

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

American General Life Insurance Company

To the full extent authorized by law, the corporation shall indemnify any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding, whether criminal or civil, by reason of the fact that he, his testator or intestate is or was a director or officer of the corporation or serves or served in any capacity in any other corporation at the request of the corporation. Nothing contained herein shall affect any rights to indemnification to which corporate personnel other than directors and officers may be entitled by contract or otherwise under law.
