IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU SHOULD CONSIDER ABOUT THE CONTRACT

 

FEES AND EXPENSES
Charges for Early Withdrawals

If the Investor withdraws money from the Contract within ten (10) years following a specified date, the Investor can be assessed an early withdrawal charge equal to a maximum of 7% of the amount withdrawn. The specified date referenced in the preceding sentence can vary depending on the terms of the Contract, and will be either: (1) the date the individual account was established; or (2) the date the Contract was established.

 

For example, if you make an early withdrawal from a K-12 Contract, you could pay a surrender charge of up to $7,000 on a $100,000 investment.

 

Please also note that withdrawals from the Guaranteed Accumulation Account are subject to a Market Value Adjustment, which can be either positive or negative (see Appendix B to this prospectus).

 

See “FEE TABLE – Transaction Expenses” and “CHARGES AND FEES – Transaction Fees – Early Withdrawal Charge” in the full Contract Prospectus.

Transaction Charges

In addition to the early withdrawal charge, the Investor may also be charged for other transactions. If you take a Contract Loan from your Account Value, you may be subject to a Loan Initiation fee not to exceed $125 per loan;

•  Certain Funds may impose redemption fees as a result of withdrawals, transfers or other Fund transactions you may initiate; and

•   Charges for advisory services due to an independent advisory services agreement between you and an investment advisor may be deducted from contract value.

 

See “FEE TABLE – Transaction Expenses” and “CHARGES AND FEES” in the full Contract Prospectus.

FEES AND EXPENSES

Ongoing Fees and

Expenses (annual

Charges)

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay each year, depending on the options you choose. Please refer to your Contract specifications page for information about the specific fees you will pay each year based on the options you have elected. A Loan Interest Rate Spread (which is the difference between the rate charged and the rate credited on loans under your contract) or an Annual Loan administration fee is charged until the loan is repaid. These ongoing fees and expenses do not reflect any advisory fees due under an independent advisory services agreement with a participant, and if such charges were reflected, these ongoing fees and expenses would be higher.

Because your Contract is customizable, the choices you make affect how much you will pay. To help you understand the cost of owning your Contract, the following table shows the lowest and highest cost you could pay each year based on current charges. This estimate assumes that you do not take withdrawals from the Contract, which could add early withdrawal charges that substantially increase costs

1 As a percentage of average Account Value.
2 The Base Contract Expenses include (1) the mortality and expense risk charge (1.25% for Texas K-12 Contracts and 1.50% for all other Contracts), which compensates us for the mortality and expense risks we assume under the Contract, including those risks associated with our funding of the death benefit, including any guaranteed death benefits; and (2) a $50 annual maintenance fee converted to an annual percentage equal to 0.0987235%. The administrative expense charge and the annual maintenance fee may be reduced or eliminated in certain circumstances. The minimum amount reflects these reductions or eliminations, while the maximum amount does not. Additionally, the minimum amount reflects the lower mortality and expense risk charge for K-12 Contracts and the maximum amount reflects the higher mortality and expense risk charge for all other Contracts. See “CHARGES AND FEES – Periodic Fees and Charges.”
3 These expenses, which include management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or service fees and other expenses, do not take into account any fee waiver or expense reimbursement arrangements that may apply. These expenses are for the year ended December 31, 2023, and will vary from year to year.

RISKS
Risk of Loss

An Investor can lose money by investing in the Contract.

 

See “PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE CONTRACT” in the prospectus for the Contract.

Not a Short-Term Investment

This Contract is not designed for short-term investing and is not appropriate for an Investor who needs ready access to cash. The Contract is typically most useful as part of a personal retirement plan. Early withdrawals may be restricted by the Tax Code or your plan and may expose you to early withdrawal charges or tax penalties. You should not participate in this Contract if you are looking for a short-term investment or expect to make withdrawals before you are age 59½.

 

You may not receive any distribution before retirement, except upon reaching age 70½ or terminating employment with Texas public institutions of higher learning.

 

See “PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE CONTRACT” in the full Contract Prospectus.

Risks Associated with Investment Options

 

An investment in the Contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the investment options available under the Contract. Each investment option (including the Guaranteed Accumulation Account and the other Fixed Interest Options) will have its own unique risks, and you should review these investment options before making an investment decision. If all or a portion of your Account Value in the Guaranteed Accumulation Account is withdrawn, you could experience a loss as to the amount invested in that account.

 

See ‘THE INVESTMENT OPTIONS – The Variable Investment Options” APPENDIX A, APPENDIX B, APPENDIX C, APPENDIX D, and APPENDIX E in the full Contract Prospectus and “APPENDIX: FUNDS AVAILABLE UNDER THE CONTRACT” to this summary prospectus.

Insurance Company Risks

An investment in the Contract is subject to the risks related to VRIAC, including that any obligations, including under the Fixed Interest Options, guarantees or benefits are subject to the claims-paying ability of VRIAC. More information about VRIAC, including its financial strength ratings, is available upon request, by contacting Customer Service.

 

See “THE CONTRACT – The General Account” in the full Contract Prospectus.

Electronic trading privileges will be suspended if the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that our Excessive Trading Policy has been violated.

 

See “THE INVESTMENT OPTIONS Selecting Investment Options and Right to Change the Separate Account” and “THE CONTRACT Limits on Frequent or Disruptive Transfers” in the full Contract Prospectus.

Optional Benefits

•    We may discontinue or restrict the availability of an optional benefit;

•   Benefits available to you may vary based on employer and state approval. Participants should refer to their plan documents for available benefits; and

•   If a participant elects to pay advisory fees from the Variable Investment Options, such deductions will reduce the death benefit amount and also may be subject to federal and state income taxes and a 10% federal tax penalty.

 

See the “Optional Benefits Available Under the Contract – Other Optional Benefits” and “MAKING WITHDRAWALS: ACCESSING THE MONEY IN YOUR CONTRACT” sections of this summary prospectus.

TAXES
Tax Implications

•   You should consult with a tax and/or legal adviser to determine the tax implications of an investment in, and distributions received under, the Contract;

•   There is no additional tax benefit to the Investor if the Contract is purchased through a tax-qualified plan or individual retirement account (“IRA”); and

USP.167680-24

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Investment Professional Compensation

•   We pay compensation to broker/dealers whose registered representatives sell the Contract.

•  Compensation may be paid in the form of commissions or other compensation, depending upon the agreement between the broker/dealers and the registered representative.

•   Because of this sales-based compensation, an investment professional may have a financial incentive to offer or recommend the Contract over another investment.

 

See “OTHER TOPICS – Contract Distribution” in the full Contract Prospectus.

Exchanges

Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a new Contract in place of the one you own. You should exchange your Contract only if you determine, after comparing the features, fees and risks of both contracts, that it is preferable for you to purchase the new contract rather than continue to own the existing Contract.

 

See “PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE CONTRACT” in the full Contract Prospectus.
