group variable annuity contract and Certificates with a Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit that is issued by The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (Lincoln Life or Company). This contract is for use with qualified
plans under Sections 408 (IRAs) and 408A (Roth IRAs) of the tax code. Generally, you do not pay federal income tax on the contract&#8217;s growth until it is paid out. IRAs provide tax deferral, however, whether or
not the funds are invested in an annuity contract. Further, if your contract is a Roth IRA, you generally will not pay income tax on distributions, provided certain conditions are met. Therefore, there should be
reasons other than tax deferral for acquiring this contract. This contract is available to former plan participants who are eligible for a rollover distribution and wish to carry over their current Guaranteed
Withdrawal Benefit from the Lincoln <FONT

accumulate Annuitant Account Value (AAV) and to provide retirement income over a certain period of time, or for life, subject to certain conditions. The benefits offered under this contract may be variable or a fixed
amount, if available, or a combination of both. This contract also offers a Death Benefit payable upon the death of the Annuitant.</DIV>

Certificate is issued will govern whether or not certain features are available, and the applicability of any restrictions, limitations, charges and fees. All material state variations are discussed in this
prospectus, however, non-material variations may not be discussed. You should refer to your contract regarding state-specific features. Please check with your registered representative regarding availability.</DIV>

Annuitant. Additional Purchase Payments may be made, subject to certain restrictions, and must be at least $100 per payment ($25 if transmitted electronically), and at least $300 annually.</DIV>

be placed in Lincoln National Variable Annuity Account L (Variable Annuity Account (VAA)). The VAA is a segregated investment account of Lincoln Life. You take all the investment risk on the AAV derived from Purchase
Payments. If the Subaccount makes money, your AAV goes up; if the Subaccount loses money, it goes down. How much it goes up or down depends on the performance of the fund. <FONT
style="font-weight:bold;">We do not guarantee how the Subaccount or its fund will perform. Also, neither the U.S. Government nor any federal agency insures or guarantees your investment. The Purchase Payments are not
bank deposits, and the contract is not endorsed by any bank or government agency.</FONT></DIV>

choices?<FONT

work?<FONT
style="font-weight:Normal;"> If we approve your application, we will issue you a Certificate that outlines your rights in the group annuity contract, which include the right to receive a Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit,
a Death Benefit or an Annuity Payout if conditions are met. When you make Purchase Payments, you buy Accumulation Units. You will receive a Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit if all conditions are met. If you decide to

Withdrawal Benefit?<FONT
style="font-weight:Normal;"> This feature provides on an annual basis guaranteed lifetime periodic withdrawals up to a guaranteed amount (referred to as Guaranteed Annual Income amounts) based on a percentage of an
Income Base with the potential for age-based increases to the Guaranteed Annual Income amount. Withdrawals may be made up to the Guaranteed Annual Income amount as long as that amount is greater than zero. The Income
Base is not available as a separate benefit upon death or surrender and is increased by subsequent Purchase Payments, Automatic Annual Step-ups to the Income Base and is decreased by Excess Withdrawals in accordance
with provisions described in this prospectus.</FONT></DIV>

or make a withdrawal?<FONT
style="font-weight:Normal;"> Yes, we will allow the surrender of the contract or a withdrawal of AAV upon your written request on an approved Lincoln form. Any Excess Withdrawals may significantly reduce your Income
Base as well as your Guaranteed Annual Income amount. A portion of surrender or withdrawal proceeds may be taxable. In addition, if you decide to take a distribution before age 59&#189;, a 10% Internal Revenue Service
(IRS) additional tax may apply. A surrender or a withdrawal also may be subject to 20% withholding. See Federal Tax Matters.</FONT></DIV>

measures average annual total return. This is based on a hypothetical $1,000 payment made at the beginning of a one-year, a five-year and a 10-year period. This calculation reflects all fees and charges that are or
could be imposed on all Contractowner accounts.</DIV>

calculation compares changes in Accumulation Unit values from the beginning of the most recently completed calendar year to the end of that year. It may also compare changes in Accumulation Unit values over shorter or
longer time periods. This calculation reflects mortality and expense risk charges. It also reflects management fees and other expenses of the fund.</DIV>

Insurance Company (Lincoln Life or Company), organized in 1905, is an Indiana-domiciled insurance company, engaged primarily in the direct issuance of life insurance contracts and annuities. Lincoln Life is wholly
owned by Lincoln National Corporation (LNC), a publicly held insurance and financial services holding company incorporated in Indiana. Lincoln Life is obligated to pay all amounts promised to Contractowners under the
contracts.</DIV>
<DIV

contract that exceed your AAV, such as those associated with Death Benefit options and living benefit riders are paid from our general account (not the VAA). Therefore, any amounts that we may pay under the contract
in excess of AAV are subject to our financial strength and claims-paying ability and our long-term ability to make such payments.</DIV>
<DIV
style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;font-style:Normal;font-weight:Normal;line-height:13pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:left;text-decoration:none;text-transform:none;">We issue other types of
insurance policies and financial products as well. In addition to any amounts we are obligated to pay in excess of Contract Value under the contracts, we also pay our obligations under these products from our assets
in the general account. Moreover, unlike assets held in the VAA, the assets of the general account are subject to the general liabilities of the Company and, therefore, to the Company&#8217;s general creditors. In the
event of an insolvency or receivership, payments we make from our general account to satisfy claims under the contract would generally receive the same priority as our other Contractowner obligations.</DIV>

segregated or insulated from the claims of the insurance company&#8217;s creditors. Investors look to the financial strength of the insurance companies for these insurance guarantees. Therefore, guarantees provided by
the insurance company as to benefits promised in the prospectus are subject to the claims paying ability of the insurance company and are subject to the risk that the insurance company may not be able to cover or may
default on its obligations under those guarantees.</DIV>

style="font-style:Normal;font-weight:Normal;">.&nbsp;&nbsp;Among the laws and regulations applicable to us as an insurance company are those which regulate the investments we can make with assets held in our general
account. In general, those laws and regulations determine the amount and type of investments which we can make with general account assets.</FONT></DIV>

regulations require that insurance companies calculate and establish on their financial statements, a specified amount of reserves in order to meet the contractual obligations to pay the claims of our Contractowners.
In order to meet our claims-paying obligations, we regularly monitor our reserves to ensure we hold sufficient amounts to cover actual or expected contract and claims payments. However, it is important to note that
there is no guarantee that we will always be able to meet our claims paying obligations, and that there are risks to purchasing any insurance product.</DIV>

also require insurance companies to maintain a minimum amount of capital in excess of liabilities, which acts as a cushion in the event that the insurer suffers a financial impairment, based on the inherent risks in
the insurer&#8217;s operations. These risks include those associated with losses that we may incur as the result of defaults on the payment of interest or principal on assets held in our general account, which include
bonds, mortgages, general real estate investments, and stocks, as well as the loss in value of these investments resulting from a loss in their market value.</DIV>

investment account under Indiana law, meaning that its assets may not be charged with liabilities resulting from any other business that we may conduct. Income, gains and losses, whether realized or not, from assets
allocated to the VAA are, in accordance with the applicable contracts, credited to or charged against the VAA. They are credited or charged without regard to any other income, gains or losses of Lincoln Life. We are
the issuer of the contract and the obligations set forth in the contract, other than those of the Certificate holder, are ours. The VAA satisfies the definition of separate account under the federal securities laws.
We do not guarantee the investment performance of the VAA. Any investment gain or loss depends on the investment performance of the fund. The Certificate holder assumes the full investment risk for all amounts placed
in the VAA.</DIV>

this contract may have similar investment objectives and policies to other portfolios managed by the adviser. The investment results of the fund, however, may be higher or lower than the other portfolios that are

the adviser or sub-adviser, if applicable.</DIV>

substantially all of its assets in other funds. As a result, you will pay fees and expenses at both fund levels. This will reduce your investment return. This arrangement is referred to as funds of funds. Funds of
funds structures may have higher expenses than funds that invest directly in debt or equity securities.</DIV>

investment option in part, to reduce the risk of investment losses that may require us to use our own assets to make guaranteed payments under the Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit. Our financial interest in reducing loss
and the volatility of overall AAVs, in light of our obligations to provide benefits under the rider, may be deemed to present a potential conflict of interest with respect to the interests of the Contractowner and/or
Annuitants. In addition, any negative impact to the underlying fund as a result of the risk management strategies may limit your AAV, which in turn may limit your ability to achieve step-ups of the Income Base under
the Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit. </DIV>

funding. If such a conflict were to occur, one of the separate accounts might withdraw its investment in a fund. This might force a fund to sell portfolio securities at disadvantageous prices. See the prospectuses for
the funds.</DIV>

qualified money from any source. The minimum annual amount for additional Purchase Payments is $300. Please check with your registered representative about making additional Purchase Payments since the requirements of
your state may vary. The minimum Purchase Payment at any one time must be at least $100 ($25 if transmitted electronically). If a Purchase Payment is submitted that does not meet the minimum amount, we will contact

Payment will be limited to $500,000 without Home Office approval (excluding the Rollover Money). Purchase Payments which originate from other investment options available under your retirement plan and are made within
180 days of a withdrawal from the AAV may be limited to $25,000 in the future. After the Guaranteed Annual Income Effective Date no additional Purchase Payments will be allowed if your AAV is zero. In addition, we may
further limit or decline future Purchase Payments as long as we provide you 180 days-notice. It is possible that we could refuse any or all future Purchase Payments. If future Purchase Payments cannot be made, AAVs
and Income Bases will no longer be increased by additional Purchase Payments and you will not have the opportunity to further increase your GAI amount. You should consider these Purchase Payment limitations and how
they may impact their long-term investment plans, especially if the intent is to make additional Purchase Payments over a long period of time.</DIV>

allocated to the VAA&#8217;s Subaccounts and are used to fund the Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit. Purchase Payments allocated to the VAA are converted into Accumulation Units and are credited to the account of each
Annuitant. The number of Accumulation Units credited is determined by dividing the Purchase Payment by the value of an Accumulation Unit on the Valuation Date on which the Purchase Payment is received in Good Order at
our Home Office if received before 4:00 p.m., New York time or the close of trading of the New York Stock Exchange. Purchase Payments received in Good Order at or after 4:00 p.m., New York time will be processed using
the Accumulation Unit value computed on the next Valuation Date. The number of Accumulation Units determined in this way is not changed by any subsequent change in the value of an Accumulation Unit. However, the
dollar value of an Accumulation Unit will vary depending not only upon how well the fund performs, but also upon the expenses of the VAA and the fund.</DIV>

to the VAA are converted into Accumulation Units. This is done by dividing the amount allocated by the value of an Accumulation Unit for the Valuation Period during which the Purchase Payments are allocated to the
VAA. The Accumulation Unit value for the Subaccount was established at the inception of the Subaccount. It may increase or decrease from Valuation Period to Valuation Period. Accumulation Unit values are affected by
investment performance of the fund, fund expenses, and the deduction of certain contract charges. We determine the value of an Accumulation Unit on the last day of any following Valuation Period as follows:</DIV>

the Guaranteed Annual Income Effective Date. At that time, you will elect either the single life option or the joint life option of the Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit. After the Guaranteed Annual Income Effective Date,
periodic withdrawals up to the Guaranteed Annual Income amount may be taken each Benefit Year for your lifetime (single life option) or the lifetimes of you and your spouse (joint life option) as long as the
Guaranteed Annual Income amount is greater than zero. Guaranteed Annual Income withdrawals may be taken once you (single life option) or the younger of you and your spouse (joint life option) turn age 55. If the

Income Effective Date, the Weighted Average Guaranteed Annual Income (&#8220;WAGAI&#8221;) percentage is calculated, based on your age (single life option) or the age of the younger of you and your spouse (joint life

after there has also been an Automatic Annual Step-up. The Automatic Annual Step-up must occur after the date you (or spouse if applicable) reached the higher age band. If an applicable age band has been reached and
there has not also been an Automatic Annual Step-up, then the Guaranteed Annual Income amount percentage will not increase until the next Automatic Annual Step-up occurs. If the entire Guaranteed Annual Income amount

demonstrates the impact of an Excess Withdrawal on the Income Base, the Guaranteed Annual Income amount and the AAV. The Annuitant who is age 58 (single life option) makes a $12,000 withdrawal which causes a

style="font-weight:Normal;"> Every state has unclaimed property laws which generally declare annuity contracts to be abandoned after a period of inactivity of three to five years from the date a benefit is due and
payable. For example, if the payment of a Death Benefit has been triggered, but, if after a thorough search, we are still unable to locate the Beneficiary of the Death Benefit, or the Beneficiary does not come forward
to claim the Death Benefit in a timely manner, the Death Benefit will be &#8220;escheated&#8221;. This means that the Death Benefit will be paid to the abandoned property division or unclaimed property office of the
state in which the Beneficiary or the Annuitant last resided, as shown on our books and records, or to our state of domicile. This escheatment is revocable and the state is obligated to pay the Death Benefit (without
interest) if your Beneficiary steps forward to claim it with the proper documentation.</FONT></DIV>

optional forms of payouts of annuities (annuity options), each of which is payable on a fixed basis. The Certificate provides that all or part of the AAV may be used to purchase an Annuity Payout option. The rates
used to purchase any of the annuity options discussed below are shown in the contract.</DIV>

Payouts in monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual installments. If the payouts would be or become less than $50, we have the right to reduce their frequency until the payouts are at least $50 each. The amount of
each Annuity Payout will depend upon the frequency of payout you select. For example, if you select frequent payments (e.g., monthly), the amount of each payout will be lower than if you choose a less frequent payout
(e.g., annual installments). Also, the amount of each Annuity Payout will depend upon the duration of payout you select. For example, if you choose the Life Annuity option, the amount of each payout likely will be
higher than if you choose the Joint Life Annuity since the Life Annuity assumes a shorter period of time than the Joint Life Annuity. Following are explanations of the annuity options available.</DIV>

as an annuity for Federal income tax purposes, the investments of the VAA must be &#8220;adequately diversified.&#8221; Treasury regulations define standards for determining whether the investments of the VAA are
adequately diversified. If the VAA 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. Although we
do not control the investments of the underlying investment options, we expect that the underlying investment options will comply with the IRS regulations so that the VAA will be considered &#8220;adequately
diversified.&#8221;</DIV>

limits your right to choose particular investments for the contract. Because the IRS has issued little guidance specifying those limits, the limits are uncertain and your right to allocate contract values among the
Subaccounts may exceed those limits. If so, you would be treated as the owner of the assets of the VAA and thus subject to current taxation on the income, bonus credits, persistency credits and gains, if applicable,
from those assets. We do not know what limits may be set by the IRS in any guidance that it may issue and whether any such limits will apply to existing contracts. We reserve the right to modify the contract without
your consent to try to prevent the tax law from considering you as the owner of the assets of the VAA.</DIV>

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

of 2006 (PPA) permits direct conversions from certain qualified, retirement, 403(b) or 457(b) plans to Roth IRAs (effective for distributions after 2007). You are also permitted to recharacterize your traditional IRA

requires that tax be withheld, even if you have requested otherwise. Such tax withholding requirements are generally applicable to 401(a), 403(a) or (b), HR 10, and 457(b) governmental plans and contracts used in
connection with these types of plans.</DIV>

contract not issued in connection with an IRA or a qualified retirement plan receiving special tax treatment under the tax code. These contracts are not intended for use with nonqualified annuity contracts. Different
federal tax rules apply to nonqualified annuity contracts. Persons planning to use the contract in connection with a nonqualified annuity should obtain advice from a tax advisor.</DIV>

income tax laws, we do not pay tax on investment income and realized capital gains of the VAA. We do not expect that we will incur any Federal income tax liability on the income and gains earned by the VAA. However,
the Company does expect, to the extent permitted under Federal tax law, to claim the benefit of the foreign tax credit as the owner of the assets of the VAA. Therefore, we do not impose a charge for Federal income
taxes. If Federal income tax law changes and we must pay tax on some or all of the income and gains earned by the VAA, we may impose a charge against the VAA to pay the taxes.</DIV>

vote the fund shares held in the VAA at meetings of the shareholders of the funds. The voting will be done according to the instructions of the Contractowners or Annuitants who have interests in the Subaccount which
invests in the fund. If the 1940 Act or any regulation under it should be amended or if present interpretations should change, and if as a result we determine that we are permitted to vote the fund shares in our own
right, we may elect to do so.</DIV>
<DIV

you have the right to cast will be determined by applying your percentage interest in a Subaccount to the total number of votes attributable to the Subaccount. In determining the number of votes, fractional shares
will be recognized.</DIV>
<DIV
style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;font-style:Normal;font-weight:Normal;line-height:13pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:left;text-decoration:none;text-transform:none;">The underlying fund is
subject to the laws of the state in which it is organized concerning, among other things, the matters which are subject to a shareholder vote, the number of shares which must be present in person or by proxy at a
meeting of shareholders (a &#8220;quorum&#8221;), and the percentage of such shares present in person or by proxy which must vote in favor of matters presented. Because shares of the underlying fund held in the VAA
are owned by us, and because under the 1940 Act we will vote all such shares in the same proportion as the voting instructions which we receive, it is important that each Annuitant provide their voting instructions to
us. Even though you may choose not to provide voting instruction, the shares of a fund to which such you would have been entitled to provide voting instruction will be voted by us in the same proportion as the voting
instruction which we actually receive. For funds affiliated with Lincoln, shares of a fund to which such Contractowners would have been entitled to provide voting instruction will, once we receive a sufficient number
of instructions we deem appropriate to ensure a fair representation of Contractowners eligible to vote, be voted by us in the same proportion as the voting instruction which we actually receive. As a result, the
instruction of a small number of Annuitants could determine the outcome of matters subject to shareholder vote. All shares voted by us will be counted when the underlying fund determines whether any requirement for a
minimum number of shares be present at such a meeting to satisfy a quorum requirement has been met. Voting instructions to abstain on any item to be voted on will be applied proportionately to reduce the number of
votes eligible to be cast.</DIV>

meeting is called, we will provide or make available to each person having a voting interest in a Subaccount proxy voting material, reports and other materials relating to the fund. Since the fund engages in shared
funding, other persons or entities besides Lincoln Life may vote fund shares. See Investments of the Variable Annuity Account &#8211; Fund Shares.</DIV>

Financial Distributors (&#8220;LFD&#8221;) serves as Principal Underwriter of this contract. LFD is affiliated with Lincoln Life and is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 and is a member of FINRA (&#8220;Financial Industry Regulatory Authority&#8221;). The Principal Underwriter has entered into selling agreements with Lincoln Financial Advisors (&#8220;LFA&#8221;), also an
affiliate of ours. The Principal Underwriter has also entered into selling agreements with broker-dealers that are unaffiliated with us. While the Principal Underwriter has the legal authority to make payments to
broker-dealers which have entered into selling agreements, we will make such payments on behalf of the Principal Underwriter in compliance with appropriate regulations. We also pay on behalf of LFD certain of its
operating expenses related to the distribution of this and other of our contracts. The following paragraphs describe how payments are made by us and The Principal Underwriter to various parties.</DIV>

the operating and other expenses of LFA, including the following sales expenses: sales representative training allowances; compensation and bonuses for LFA's management team; advertising expenses; and all other
expenses of distributing the contracts. LFA pays its sales representatives a portion of the commissions received for their sales of contracts. LFA sales representatives and their managers are also eligible for various
cash benefits, such as bonuses, insurance benefits and financing arrangements, and non-cash compensation items that we may provide jointly with LFA. Non-cash compensation items may include conferences, seminars,
trips, entertainment, merchandise and other similar items. In addition, LFA sales representatives who meet certain productivity, persistency and length of service standards and/or their managers may be eligible for
additional compensation. Sales of the contracts may help LFA sales representatives and/or their managers qualify for such benefits. LFA sales representatives and their managers may receive other payments from us for
services that do not directly involve the sale of the contracts, including payments made for the recruitment and training of personnel, production of promotional literature and similar services.</DIV>

pay certain Selling Firms or their affiliates additional amounts for: (1) &#8220;preferred product&#8221; treatment of the contracts in their marketing programs, which may include marketing services and increased
access to sales representatives; (2) sales incentives relating to the contracts; (3) costs associated with sales conferences and educational seminars for their sales representatives; (4) other sales expenses incurred

loans to broker-dealers or their affiliates to help finance marketing and distribution of the contracts, and those loans may be forgiven if aggregate sales goals are met. In addition, we may provide staffing or other
administrative support and services to broker-dealers who distribute the contracts. LFD, as wholesaler, may make bonus payments to certain Selling Firms based on aggregate sales of our variable insurance contracts

additional types of compensation are not offered to all Selling Firms. The terms of any particular agreement governing compensation may vary among Selling Firms and the amounts may be significant. The prospect of
receiving, or the receipt of, additional compensation may provide Selling Firms and/or their registered representatives with an incentive to favor sales of the contracts over other variable annuity contracts (or other
investments) with respect to which a Selling Firm does not receive additional compensation, or lower levels of additional compensation. You may wish to take such payment arrangements into account when considering and
evaluating any recommendation relating to the contracts. Additional information relating to compensation paid in 2020 is contained in the Statement of Additional Information (SAI).</DIV>

Parties.<FONT

interconnected computer systems and digital data to conduct our annuity products business. Because our business is highly dependent upon the effective operation of our computer systems and those of our business
partners, our business is vulnerable to disruptions from utility outages, and susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from information systems failure (e.g., hardware and software
malfunctions), and cyber-attacks. These risks include, among other things, the theft, misuse, corruption and destruction of data maintained online or digitally, interference with or denial of service, attacks on
websites and other operational disruption and unauthorized release of confidential customer information. Such systems failures and cyber-attacks affecting us, any third-party administrator, the underlying funds,
intermediaries and other affiliated or third-party service providers 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 or with the underlying funds, impact our ability to calculate Accumulation Unit value, cause the release and possible destruction of confidential
customer or business information, impede order processing, subject us and/or our service providers and intermediaries to regulatory fines 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 funds underlying your contract to lose value. There can be no assurance that we or the underlying funds or our service
providers will avoid losses affecting your contract due to cyber-attacks or information security breaches in the future.</DIV>

security risks, we are exposed to risks related to natural and man-made disasters and catastrophes, such as (but not limited to) storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, public health crises, malicious acts, and terrorist
acts, any of which could adversely affect our ability to conduct business. A natural or man-made disaster or catastrophe, including a pandemic (such as COVID-19), could affect the ability or willingness of our
employees or the employees of our service providers to perform their job responsibilities. Even if our employees and the employees of our service providers are able to work remotely, those remote work arrangements
could result in our business operations being less efficient than under normal circumstances and could lead to delays in our processing of contract-related transactions, including orders from contract owners.
Catastrophic events may negatively affect the computer and other systems on which we rely, impact our ability to calculate accumulation unit values, or have other possible negative impacts. There can be no assurance
that we or our service providers will be able to successfully avoid negative impacts associated with natural and man-made disasters and catastrophes.</DIV>

legal counsel and a review of available facts, it is management&#8217;s opinion that the proceedings, after consideration of any reserves and rights to indemnification, ultimately will be resolved without materially
affecting the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries, or the financial position of its separate accounts or Principal Underwriter. However, given the large and indeterminate amounts sought
in certain of these proceedings and the inherent difficulty in predicting the outcome of such proceedings, it is reasonably possible that an adverse outcome in certain matters could be material to the Company's
operating results for any particular reporting period. Please refer to the Statement of Additional Information for possible additional information regarding legal proceedings.</DIV>

Financial Distributors, Inc. (&#8220;LFD&#8221;), an affiliate of Lincoln Life, serves as principal underwriter (the &#8220;Principal Underwriter&#8221;) for the contracts, as described in the prospectus. The
Principal Underwriter offers the contracts to the public on a continuous basis and anticipates continuing to offer the contracts, but reserves the right to discontinue the offering. The Principal Underwriter offers
the contracts through sales representatives, who are associated with Lincoln Financial Advisors Corporation and/or Lincoln Financial Securities Corporation (collectively, &#8220;LFN&#8221;), our affiliates. The
Principal Underwriter also may enter into selling agreements with other broker-dealers (&#8220;Selling Firms&#8221;) for the sale of the contracts. Sales representatives of Selling Firms are appointed as our insurance
agents. LFD, acting as Principal Underwriter, paid $1,425,415, $1,279,933 and $1,376,603 to LFN and Selling Firms in 2018, 2019 and 2020 respectively, as sales compensation with respect to all the contracts offered
under the VAA. The Principal Underwriter retained no underwriting commissions for the sale of the contracts.</DIV>

contracts are offered to the public through licensed insurance agents who specialize in selling our products; through independent insurance brokers; and through certain securities brokers/dealers selected by us whose
personnel are legally authorized to sell annuity products. There are no special purchase plans for any class of prospective buyers. However, under certain limited circumstances described in the prospectus under the
section Charges and Other Deductions, any applicable account fee and/or surrender charge may be reduced or waived.</DIV>

day, the Exchange may also be closed on the business day occurring just before or just after the holiday. It may also be closed on other days.</DIV>

financial strength is ranked and rated by nationally recognized independent rating agencies. The ratings do not imply approval of the product and do not refer to the performance of the product, or any separate
account, including the underlying investment options. Ratings are not recommendations to buy our products. Each of the rating agencies reviews its ratings periodically. Accordingly, all ratings are subject to revision
or withdrawal at any time by the rating agencies, and therefore, no assurance can be given that these ratings will be maintained. The current outlook for the insurance subsidiaries is stable for Moody&#8217;s, A.M.
Best and Standard &amp; Poor&#8217;s and Fitch. Our financial strength ratings, which are intended to measure our ability to meet contract holder obligations, are an important factor affecting public confidence in
most of our products and, as a result, our competitiveness. A downgrade of our financial strength rating could affect our competitive position in the insurance industry by making it more difficult for us to market our
products as potential customers may select companies with higher financial strength ratings and by leading to increased withdrawals by current customers seeking companies with higher financial strength ratings. For
more information on ratings, including outlooks, see https://www.lfg.com/public/aboutus/investorrelations/financialinformation/ratings.</DIV>

redemption rates, tax treatment or other considerations, the interests of policyholders under the variable life accounts could conflict with those of Contractowners under the VAA. In those cases, where assets from
variable life and variable annuity separate accounts are invested in the same fund(s) (i.e., where mixed funding occurs), the Boards of Directors of the fund involved will monitor for any material conflicts and
determine what action, if any, should be taken. If it becomes necessary for any separate account to replace shares of any fund with another investment, that fund may have to liquidate securities on a disadvantageous
basis. Refer to the prospectus for each fund for more information about mixed funding.</DIV>
