1) A smart choice for tax-deferred growth potential InvestmentEdge.com Variable Annuity About Investment Edge® What is a variable annuity? Investment Edge® helps you potentially grow your wealth and keep more of what you earn. It allows you to take advantage of: • Diversification to capture growth opportunities and help manage volatility. • Tax deferral to defer current taxes and promote growth. • Tax-efficient distributions to adjust your income flow with flexible options available through Income Edge. This product is designed for investors who want tax-deferred growth potential as they seek wealth for retirement and other life goals. Investment activity in Investment Edge® does not generate current income taxes, allowing greater wealth-building opportunities than taxable accounts can offer. Investment Edge® also includes cost- and tax-free rebalancing, a critical component that helps keep portfolios on track with target allocations. Diversification and asset allocation do not guarantee a profit, nor do they eliminate the risk of loss of principal. Facts & Features A variable annuity is a tax-deferred financial product designed to allow you to invest in growth potential and provide income for retirement or other long-term life goals. In essence, an annuity is a contractual agreement in which payment(s) are made to an insurance company, which agrees to pay out income or a lump sum amount at a later date. Variable annuities are subject to market risk including loss of principal. Earnings are taxable as ordinary income when distributed and may be subject to an additional 10% federal tax if withdrawn before age 59½. There are certain limitations and restrictions associated with variable annuities. For costs and complete details of coverage, speak to your financial professional/insurance-licensed registered representative. Please note that an annuity contract purchased to fund an IRA or employer-sponsored plan will not provide tax-deferral benefits beyond those already provided by the Internal Revenue Code.

C Costs and expenses Income Edge – Tax-efficient payment program How it works Income Edge is available for no additional fee and allows investors in non-qualified contracts to elect a customized payment program. When elected, Income Edge is designed to pay out the entire account value via scheduled payments over a set period of time and a portion of each payment is a return of your cost basis and thus excludable from taxes. Income Edge is not a guaranteed income benefit. Payments from Income Edge are based on account value and selected duration. How payments are determined T his tax-free amount is calculated by dividing the remaining cost basis by the number of years in the payment period selected and will not change once calculated. Once you begin taking payments, you may not stop or increase your payment although the contract can be fully redeemed for the then-current account value net of applicable withdrawal charges. The amount of each of the payments made through the Income Edge program is re-determined on an annual basis, meaning that the amount of the payment may vary each year of the payout period. (A combination of adverse investment performance, additional withdrawals and contract fees may reduce the payout period selected. Income values are not guaranteed.) Income Edge Early Retirement Option Income Edge can be elected prior to age 59½ and utilizes the excludable amount tax treatment. The payment program is determined by the IRS’s life expectancy table used for the RMD method under section 72(q). Income Edge Beneficiary Advantage 0.70% Operations fee 0.30% Administration fee 0.10% Distribution fee Inherited Non-Qualified contracts can utilize Income Edge’s excludable amount tax treatment.

The Income Edge payment program does not represent a life contingent annuitization of the Investment Edge®contract. With a life contingent annuitization, the account value is applied to provide periodic payments for life and the Investment Edge®contract and all its benefits terminate. After Income Edge election, extra withdrawals are fully taxable and those in excess of the annual 10% free withdrawal amount will continue to be subject to a withdrawal charge if they are made during the withdrawal charge period. If the contract owner dies after Income Edge is elected, scheduled payments will continue to the beneficiary and any specified form of death benefit payout that you have selected will be invalidated. There are additional restrictions and limitations, including age restrictions and the payout period being limited to specific time periods. Please see the prospectus for more information including Investment Edge® fees and charges. It should be noted that Income Edge is not the only way to take payments that are only partially taxed as this may be accomplished through annuitization of the annuity contract. Unlike a life contingent annuitization, Income Edge allows for a form of annuity payment that is designed to pay out the entire value of the contract via scheduled payments over a set period of time and provides continuous access to the contract’s account value.
