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a specified date, the Investor can be assessed an early withdrawal charge equal to a maximum of 5% of the amount withdrawn.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, you could pay a surrender charge of up to $5,000 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 full prospectus).

 

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

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 prospectus for the Contract.

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.

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 0.987235%. 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.” in the full prospectus for the Contract.

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 full 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 prospectus for the Contract.

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” and APPENDIX A, APPENDIX B and APPENDIX C in the full prospectus for the Contract and “APPENDIX: FUNDS AVAILABLE UNDER THE CONTRACT” to this summary prospectus.

See “OTHER TOPICS - Contract Distribution” in the full prospectus for the Contract.

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 prospectus for the Contract.

 

OVERVIEW OF THE CONTRACT

 

This summary provides a brief overview of the more significant aspects of the Contract. Further detail is provided in this summary prospectus, the Contract and the summary or full prospectuses for the Funds being considered. We urge you to read the entire summary prospectus as it describes all material features and benefits of the Contract and your rights and limitations thereunder. It also sets forth information you should know before making the decision to participate in the Contract through your retirement plan. Certain features and benefits may vary depending on the state in which your Contract is issued.

 

Purpose

 

The Contract described in this summary prospectus is a group deferred fixed and variable annuity contract. It is intended to be used as a funding vehicle for certain types of retirement plans and to qualify for beneficial tax treatment and/or to provide current income reduction under Tax Code Sections 401(a), 401(k), 403(b) and 457, including Roth 401(k), Roth 403(b) and Roth 457(b) plans.

 

The Contract is designed for Investors who intend to accumulate funds for retirement purposes, and thus is best suited for those with a long investment horizon. The Contract should not be viewed as a highly liquid investment. In that regard, early withdrawals may be restricted by the Tax Code or your plan and may expose you to early withdrawal charges or tax penalties. The value of deferred taxation on earnings grows with the amount of time your money is left in the Contract. For these reasons, you should not participate in this Contract if you are looking for a short-term investment. When considering whether to purchase or participate in the Contract, you should consult with your financial representative about your financial goals, investment time horizon and risk tolerance.

 

Phases of Contract

 

The Contract has two phases: An Accumulation Phase and an Income Phase.

 

Accumulation Phase: During the Accumulation Phase, you direct us to invest your Purchase Payments or Account Value among the follow investment options:

·Variable Investment Options; and/or
·Fixed Interest Options.

ISP.167680-24 (other than Texas K-12 Market)

8  

Income Phase: During the Income Phase, you start receiving annuity, or Income Phase, payments from your Contract. The Contract offers several Income Phase payment options. However, you will be unable to make withdrawals, and any death benefits and living benefits will terminate. In general, you may:

·Receive Income Phase payments over a lifetime or for a specified period;
·Receive Income Phase payments monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually;
·Select an Income Phase option that provides a death benefit to Beneficiaries; or
·Select fixed Income Phase payments or payments that vary based on the performance of the Variable Investment Options you select.

 

Withdrawals will not be allowed during the Income Phase. See “THE INCOME PHASE” in the full prospectus for the Contract.

 

For more information about the Income Phase, see “THE INCOME PHASE” section of the full prospectus.

 

The Variable Investment Options

 

The Variable Investment Options are Subaccounts within the Separate Account. Each Subaccount invests its assets directly in shares of a corresponding underlying Fund, and each Fund has its own distinct investment objectives, fees and expenses and investment advisers. Earnings on amounts invested in a Subaccount will vary depending upon the performance and fees of the corresponding underlying Fund. You do not invest directly in or hold shares of the Funds. Additional information about each underlying fund is set forth in an appendix this summary prospectus. See “APPENDIX: FUNDS AVAILABLE UNDER THE CONTRACT.”

 

There is no guarantee that your Account Value will increase. Depending upon the investment experience of each Fund in which a Subaccount invests, your Account Value may increase or decrease daily. You bear the investment risk for the Funds in which the Subaccounts invest; you will benefit from favorable investment experience but also bear the risk of poor investment performance.

 

The Fixed Interest Options

 

The following Fixed Interest Options may be available through the Contract:

·The Guaranteed Accumulation Account;
·The Fixed Account; and
·The Fixed Plus Account II.

 

Not all Fixed Interest Options may be available for current or future investment. For descriptions of the Fixed Interest Options that may be available through the Contract, see AppendiX B, APPENDIX C and APPENDIX D in the full prospectus for the Contract and the Guaranteed Accumulation Account prospectus. The Guaranteed Accumulation Account prospectus may be obtained free of charge by calling Customer Service at 1-800-584-6001.

 

Contract Features

 

Death Benefit. A Beneficiary may receive a death benefit in the event of your death during both the Accumulation and Income Phases (described above). If made available under your Contract, you can elect the Return of Purchase Payment Death Benefit or the Adjusted Purchase Payment Guaranteed Death Benefit. The availability of a death benefit during the Income Phase depends upon the Income Phase annuity payment option selected. If made available under your Contract, you can elect the Return of Purchase Payment Death Benefit or the Adjusted Purchase Payment Guaranteed Death Benefit. See “Benefits Available Under the Contract” below.

 

For most Contracts, the death benefit will be based on your Account Value. For amounts held in the Guaranteed Accumulation Account, any positive aggregate market value adjustment (the sum of all market value adjustments calculated due to a withdrawal) will be included in your Account Value. If a negative market value adjustment applies, it would be deducted only if the death benefit is withdrawn more than six months after your death. We describe the market value adjustment in APPENDIX B in the full prospectus for the Contract and in the Guaranteed Accumulation Account prospectus.

ISP.167680-24 (other than Texas K-12 Market)

9  

The death benefit is calculated as of the next time we value your account following the date on which Customer Service receives proof of death and a payment request in Good Order. In addition to this amount, some states require we pay interest on amounts invested in Fixed Interest Options, calculated from date of death at a rate specified by state law.

 

Loans. If allowed by the Contract and the plan and subject to the terms and conditions imposed by the plan and the plan’s loan agreement, you may initiate a loan during the Accumulation Phase from your Account Value allocated to certain Subaccounts and Fixed Interest Options. There are charges associated with loans. Loans are subject to requirements under the Tax Code and related loan regulations, as well as ERISA (if applicable). Further restrictions may apply due to our administrative practices or those administrative practices of a third party administrator selected by your Plan Sponsor.

 

Taxation. Taxes will generally be due when you receive a distribution. Tax penalties may apply in some circumstances. See “FEDERAL Tax Considerations” in the full prospectus for the Contract.

 

Withdrawals. During the Accumulation Phase, you may, under some plans, withdraw all or part of your Account Value. Amounts withdrawn may be subject to an early withdrawal charge, other deductions, tax withholding and taxation.

 

Charges for Advisory Services. A participant may enter into an agreement with an independent investment adviser that will provide agreed-upon advisory services and may arrange to have the advisory fees deducted from the Variable Investment Options, in which case such deductions will reduce the death benefit payable under the participant’s Contract, they may be treated as withdrawals, and they may be subject to federal and state income taxes and a 10% penalty tax. See “CHARGES AND FEES – Charges for Advisory Services” in the full prospectus.

 

Benefits Available Under the Contract

 

Optional Death Benefits

 

Name of Benefit Purpose Maximum Fee Brief Description of Restrictions/Limitations
Return of Purchase Payment Death Benefit

Death benefit is the greater of:

·   Your Account Value plus any positive aggregate market value adjustment that applies to amounts allocated to the Guaranteed Accumulation Account; or

·   The sum of payments (minus any applicable premium tax) made to your account minus withdrawals made from your account and any outstanding loan amount.

No additional fee for this optional benefit.

If Beneficiary does not request payment of the death benefit as a lump sum or as an Income Phase payment option within six months of your death, the amount of the death benefit is the Account Value. This benefit may not be available under your Contract. Participants should refer to their plan documents for available benefits. (See “Account Value Death Benefit”).

 

Any advisory fees deducted reduce the amount of this death benefit.

ISP.167680-24 (other than Texas K-12 Market)

10  

Other Optional Benefits:

 

Name of Benefit Purpose Maximum Fee Brief Description of Restrictions/Limitations
Adjusted Purchase Payment Guaranteed Death Benefit

The death benefit is the greater of (a) or (b), where:

(a)  Is the adjusted Purchase Payment total, which is the sum of all net Purchase Payments to your account, minus a proportional adjustment for withdrawals and amounts taken as a loan, which amount will never be less than zero; and

(b)  Is the current Account Value, excluding amounts taken as a loan, plus any positive aggregate market value adjustment, as applicable.

No additional fee for this optional benefit.

If the death benefit in (a) is less than the amount in (b), and the Beneficiary requests an immediate payment or begins Income Phase payments, the amount paid will be the current Account Value, excluding any amounts taken as a loan, plus any aggregate positive market value adjustment.

 

This benefit may not be available under your Contract. Participants should refer to their plan documents for available benefits.

 

Any advisory fees deducted reduce the amount of this death benefit. In particular, withdrawals under your certificate to pay for such fees effect a proportional adjustment to the adjusted Purchase Payment total.

Asset Rebalancing Program Allows you to reallocate your Account Value in the investments and percentages you identify. No additional charge for this optional benefit. Account Values invested in certain investment options may not be available for rebalancing under this program. Subaccount reallocations or changes outside of the asset rebalancing program may affect the program. Changes such as Fund mergers, substitutions or closures may also affect the program. This benefit may not be available under your Contract. Participants should refer to their plan documents for available benefits.
Systematic Distribution Options Allows you to receive regular payments from your account without moving into the Income Phase. No additional fee for this optional benefit. If not required under the plan, VRIAC may discontinue the availability of one or all of the systematic distribution options at any time and/or change the terms of future elections. This benefit may not be available under your Contract. Participants should refer to their plan documents for available benefits. This benefit may not be available under your Contract. Participants should refer to their plan documents for available benefits.

Other Optional Benefits continued:

 

Name of Benefit Purpose Maximum Fee Brief Description of Restrictions/Limitations
Loans Allows you to borrow against your Account Value.

Loan Interest Rate Spread (per annum): 3.00%; or

Loan Initiation Fee: $125 per loan; and

Annual Loan Administration Fee: $50 per loan.

Amounts borrowed under a Contract do not participate in the investment performance of the Subaccounts and the interest guarantees of the Fixed Interest Options and you may lose the benefit of tax-deferred growth on earnings. Loans, therefore, can affect the Account Value and death benefit whether or not the loan is repaid. This benefit may not be available under your Contract. Participants should refer to their plan documents for available benefits
Deduction of Advisory Fees from Participant Account Contract permits adviser retained by participant to have its fees deducted from participant account. No additional fee for this benefit.

Advisory fees deducted reduce the amount of death benefit – see discussion of each death benefit in this table above.

 

Withdrawal of advisory fees from a participant’s account may be subject to federal and state income taxes and a 10% federal penalty tax.

 

BUYING THE CONTRACT

 

Purchasing the Contract

·We approve the forms and issue a Contract to the Contract Holder.

 

Participating in the Contract

 

To participate in the Contract:

·We provide you with enrollment materials for completion and return to us, which may be completed electronically where available (occasionally enrollment is conducted by someone unaffiliated with us who is assisting the Contract Holder); and
·If your enrollment materials are complete and in Good Order, we establish one or more accounts for you. Under certain plans we establish an employee account for contributions from your salary and an employer account for employer contributions. We may also establish Roth 401(k), Roth 403(b) and Roth 457(b) accounts.

 

Methods of Purchase Payment

 

The Contract may allow one or more of the following Purchase Payment methods:

·Lump-sum payments: A one-time payment to your account in the form of a transfer from a previous contract or plan; and/or

ISP.167680-24 (other than Texas K-12 Market)

12  
·Installment payments: More than one payment made over time to your account.

 

The plan and the Contract may have certain rules or restrictions that apply to the use of these two methods. For example, we may require that installment payments meet certain minimums. For information about these rules or restrictions, please refer to your certificate/enrollments materials or the Contract (held by the Contract Holder).

 

Contributions to Roth 401(k), Roth 403(b) or Roth 457(b) accounts must be made by after-tax salary reduction, exchange, or rollover payments (to the extent allowed by the Contract) paid to us on your behalf, as permitted by the Tax Code and the plan. See “FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS - Taxation of Qualified Contracts - Contributions” and “CHARGES AND FeesTransaction Fees - Early Withdrawal Charge” in the full prospectus for the Contract.

 

Allocation of Purchase Payments

 

The Contract Holder or you, if the Contract Holder permits, directs us to allocate initial Purchase Payments to the investment options available under the plan. Generally, you will specify this information on your enrollment materials. After your enrollment, changes to allocations for future Purchase Payments or transfers of existing balances among investment options may be requested by telephone, electronically at www.voyaretirementplans.com or through such other means as may be available under our administrative procedures in effect from time to time. Allocations must be in whole percentages, and there may be limitations on the number of investment options that can be selected. See “Investment Options” in the full prospectus for the Contract.

 

Transfer Credits

 

Contributions to a Contract may include plan assets transferred from a financial provider who has imposed a cancellation penalty on that transfer. To offset that penalty, the Company will, subject to certain conditions and state approvals, apply a transfer credit on transferred assets. This credit is provided on a nondiscriminatory basis if your Contract is eligible.

 

The transfer credit will be applied no later than the first business day following the date the contribution is received by us in Good Order. Transferred assets, less any premium tax, will be allocated to a participant’s individual account in amounts authorized by the Contract Holder. If no instructions are received from the Contract Holder, the transferred assets will be allocated to the Plan’s forfeiture account.

 

The transfer credit is equal to a specified percentage of the transferred assets, or other specified amount that is transferred to the Company under a Contract, that remains in the participant’s individual account for the period of time specified by the Company. Any applicable transfer credit will be deducted from:

·A full withdrawal initiated by the Contract Holder; or
·A full or partial withdrawal initiated by the participant, except for those eligible distributions from qualified plans that happen upon the occurrence of certain events. See FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS - Taxation of Qualified Contracts - Distributions - Eligibility” in the full prospectus for the Contract.

 

Transfer credits will not be applied to assets transferred into the Contract from existing contracts. Only net contributions not previously held by the Contract are eligible for a transfer credit.

 

If a transfer credit is due under your Contract, you will be provided with additional information.

 

Election of a transfer credit may result in a higher mortality and expense risk charge and impact the credited interest rate under the Fixed Plus Account II Fixed Interest Option. See “CHARGES AND Fees” and “APPENDIX D: FIXED PLUS ACCOUNT II” in the full prospectus for the Contract.

 

Tax Code Restrictions

 

The Tax Code places some limitations on contributions to your account. See “FEDERAL Tax Considerations” in the full prospectus for the Contract.

When Initial and Subsequent Purchase Payments Are Credited

 

Initial Purchase Payment. We must accept or reject an application or your enrollment materials within two business days of receipt. If the forms are incomplete, we may hold any forms and accompanying Purchase Payments for five business days, unless you consent to our holding them longer. Under limited circumstances, we may also agree, for a particular plan, to hold Purchase Payments for longer periods with the permission of the Contract Holder. If we agree to do this, the Purchase Payments remain in a non-interest bearing bank account until processed (or for a maximum of 105 days). If we reject the application or enrollment forms, we will return the forms and any Purchase Payments.

 

Subsequent Purchase Payments. If all or a portion of initial Purchase Payments are directed to the Subaccounts, they will purchase Subaccount Accumulation Units at the Accumulation Unit Value next computed after our acceptance of the applicable application or enrollment forms, as described in “CONTRACT PURCHASE AND PARTICIPATION” in the full prospectus for the Contract. Subsequent Purchase Payments or transfers directed to the Subaccounts that we receive in Good Order by the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (normally at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) will purchase Subaccount Accumulation Units at the Accumulation Unit Value computed as of the close of the NYSE on that day. The value of Subaccounts may vary day to day. Subsequent Purchase Payments and transfers received in Good Order after the close of the NYSE will purchase Accumulation Units at the Accumulation Unit Value computed as of the close of the NYSE on the next business day.

 

MAKING WITHDRAWALS: ACCESSING THE MONEY IN YOUR CONTRACT

 

Withdrawals

 

Subject to limitations on withdrawals from the Fixed Interest Options and other restrictions (see “Withdrawal Restrictions” in this section), the Contract Holder, or you if permitted by the plan, may withdraw all or a portion of your Account Value at any time during the Accumulation Phase.

 

Steps for Making a Withdrawal

 

The Contract Holder, or you if permitted by the plan, must:

·Select the Withdrawal Amount:
·Full Withdrawal: You will receive, reduced by any required tax, your Account Value allocated to the Subaccounts, the Guaranteed Accumulation Account (plus or minus any applicable market value adjustment) and the Fixed Account, minus any applicable early withdrawal charge, maintenance fee and redemption fees, plus the amount available for withdrawal from the Fixed Plus Account II; or
·Partial Withdrawal (Percentage or Specified Dollar Amount): You will receive, reduced by any required tax, the amount you specify, subject to the value available in your account. However, the amount actually withdrawn from your account will be adjusted by any applicable redemption fees and by any applicable early withdrawal charge for amounts withdrawn from the Subaccounts, the Guaranteed Accumulation Account or the Fixed Account and any positive or negative market value adjustments for amounts withdrawn from the Guaranteed Accumulation Account. The amounts available from the Fixed Plus Account II may be limited.
·Select Investment Options. If not specified, we will withdraw dollars in the same proportion as the values you hold in the various investment options from each investment option in which you have an Account Value; and
·Properly complete a disbursement form and submit it to Customer Service.

 

For amounts you withdraw from Account Value allocated to the Subaccounts, we will redeem the number of Accumulation Units needed to fund the withdrawal and reduce your Account Value accordingly. For amounts you withdraw from a Fixed Interest Option, we will reduce the value of the Fixed Interest Option by the dollar amount of that portion of the withdrawal (and with respect to the Guaranteed Accumulation Account, will reflect any positive or negative market value adjustment) and will reduce your Account Value accordingly. A reduction to your Account Value due to a withdrawal results in a lesser amount available to be annuitized and a lesser death benefit (if your

ISP.167680-24 (other than Texas K-12 Market)

14  

death benefit amount is based on your Account Value). For a description of limitations on withdrawals from the Fixed Plus Account II, please see APPENDIX D in the full prospectus for the Contract.

 

Calculation of Your Withdrawal

 

We determine your Account Value every normal business day after the close of the NYSE. We pay withdrawal amounts based on your Account Value either:

·As of the next valuation after Customer Service receives a request for withdrawal in Good Order; or
·On such later date as specified on the disbursement form.

 

Delivery of Payment

 

Payments for withdrawal requests will be made in accordance with SEC requirements. Normally, we will send your payment no later than seven calendar days following our receipt of your disbursement form in Good Order.

 

Withdrawal Restrictions

 

Many plans may have limits on withdrawals that may be made from the plan. Some examples of these limits are listed below:

·Section 403(b)(11) of the Tax Code generally prohibits withdrawals under 403(b) Contracts prior to your death, disability, attainment of age 59½, severance from employment, or financial hardship of the following:
·Salary reduction contributions made after December 31, 1988; and
·Earnings on those contributions and earnings on amounts held before 1989 and credited after December 31, 1988. Income attributable to salary reduction contributions and credited on or after January 1, 1989, may not be distributed in the case of hardship;
·403(b) regulations impose restrictions on the distribution of 403(b) employer contributions under certain Contracts. See “FEDERAL Tax Considerations – Distributions – Eligibility – 403(b) and Roth 403(b) Plans” in the full prospectus for the Contract;
·401(k) plans generally prohibit withdrawal of salary reduction contributions and associated earnings prior to your death, disability, attainment of age 59½, severance from employment, or financial hardship;
·The Contract generally requires that the Plan Sponsor or its delegate certify that you are eligible for the distribution; and
·If you are married and covered by an ERISA plan, the Contract Holder must provide certification that Retirement Equity Act requirements have been met.

 

The Tax Code and/or your plan may impose other limitations on withdrawals. See “FEDERAL Tax Considerations – Distributions – Eligibility” in the full prospectus for the Contract.

 

Waivers of Early Withdrawal Charge and Fixed Plus Account II Full and Partial Withdrawal Provisions

 

Although the Tax Code permits distributions upon a participant’s severance from employment, the Contracts do not provide for a waiver of early withdrawal charges or the Fixed Plus Account II full or partial withdrawal provisions unless the severance from employment would otherwise have qualified as a separation from service under prior IRS “same desk” guidance (prior to enactment of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001). Generally, a severance from employment due to a merger, liquidation, consolidation or other employer transaction does not qualify as a separation from service.

ISP.167680-24 (other than Texas K-12 Market)

15  

Employer-Directed Withdrawals

 

Under certain Contracts, if permitted by the plan, we may, at the Plan Sponsor’s direction, deduct amounts from participant accounts in order to pay costs associated with a third party administrator engaged by the Plan Sponsor to administer the plan.

 

Systematic Distribution Options

 

If available under your plan, a systematic distribution option allows you to receive regular payments from your account without moving into the Income Phase. By remaining in the Accumulation Phase, you retain certain rights and investment flexibility not available during the Income Phase. Because the account remains in the Accumulation Phase, all Accumulation Phase charges continue to apply.

 

Systematic Distribution Options Currently Available

 

These options may be exercised at any time during the Accumulation Phase of the Contract. To exercise one of these options, the Account Value must meet any minimum dollar amount and age criteria applicable to that option. To determine what systematic distribution options are available, please write or call Customer Service.

 

Systematic distribution options currently available under the Contract include the following:

·Systematic Withdrawal Option (“SWO”) - SWO is a series of partial withdrawals from your account based on a payment method you select. It is designed for those who want a periodic income while retaining Accumulation Phase investment flexibility for amounts accumulated under the account. (This option may not be available if you have an outstanding loan); and
·Estate Conservation Option (“ECO”)/Recurring RMD Payment (“RRP”) - This option also allows you to maintain the account in the Accumulation Phase and provides periodic payments designed to meet the Tax Code’s required minimum distributions. Under this option, the Company calculates the minimum distribution amount required by law (generally at age 72 (age 70½ if born before July 1, 1949) or retirement, if later) and pays you that amount once a year.

 

Other Systematic Distribution Options

 

Other systematic distribution options may be available from time to time. Additional information relating to any of the systematic distribution options may be obtained from your local representative or by contacting Customer Service.

 

Availability of Systematic Distribution Options

 

If not required under the plan, the Company may discontinue the availability of one or all of the systematic distribution options at any time and/or change the terms of future elections.

 

Electing a Systematic Distribution Option

 

The Contract Holder, or you if permitted by the plan, may elect a systematic distribution option. The Plan Sponsor or its delegate generally must provide the Company with certification that you are eligible for a distribution and that the distribution is in accordance with the terms of the plan.

 

Terminating a Systematic Distribution Option

 

Once you elect a systematic distribution option (other than accounts that are part of 457 plan Contracts issued to non-governmental, tax exempt employers) you may revoke it at any time by submitting a written request to Customer Service. Once revoked, an option may not be elected again until the next calendar year, nor may any other systematic distribution option be elected, unless the Tax Code permits it.

ISP.167680-24 (other than Texas K-12 Market)

16  

Tax Consequences

 

Withdrawals received through these options and revocations of elections may have tax consequences. See “FEDERAL Tax Considerations” in the full prospectus for the Contract.

 

Loans

 

Availability

 

If allowed by the Contract and the plan and subject to the terms and conditions imposed by the plan and the plan’s loan agreement, participants may initiate a loan during the Accumulation Phase. The amount available for a loan is limited to the Vested individual Account Value attributable to participant contributions subject to any plan vesting limits as determined by the Contract Holder, plus any additional amounts allowed by the plan as determined by the Contract Holder. Amounts available from some Investment Options may be subject to limitations specified in the loan agreement.

 

Plan Loans. If allowed by the Contract and the plan and subject to the terms and conditions imposed by the plan and the plan’s loan agreement, 401(a), 401(k), 403(b) or governmental 457 plan participants may initiate loans from their Vested account balances.

 

Contract Loans. If allowed by the Contract and the plan and subject to the terms and conditions imposed by the plan and the plan’s loan agreement, participants may initiate loans from their individual Account Value allocated to certain Subaccounts and Fixed Interest Options.

 

See “LOANS” in the full prospectus for the Contract for additional information.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT FEES

 

The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you will pay when buying, owning and surrendering or making withdrawals from the Contract. 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.

 

The first table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay at the time you buy the Contract, surrender or make withdrawals from the Contract or take a loan from the Contract. State premium taxes may also be deducted.

 

Transaction Expenses

 

Maximum Early Withdrawal Charge4
(as a percentage of amount withdrawn, if applicable)
5.00%
Maximum Loan Fees  
Loan Interest Rate Spread (per annum)5 3.00%
Loan Initiation Fee6 $125.00
Annual Loan Administration Fee7 $50.00
Premium Tax8 0.00% to 4.00%

 

The next table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay each year during the time that you own the Contract (not including Fund fees and expenses).

 

 
4This is a deferred sales charge. The percentage will be determined by the applicable early withdrawal charge schedule in the “CHARGES AND Fees” section of the full prospectus for the Contract. In certain cases, this charge may not apply to a portion or all of your withdrawal. The early withdrawal charge reduces over time. This charge may be waived, reduced or eliminated in certain circumstances. See “CHARGES AND Fees” in the full prospectus for the Contract.
5Applicable to Contract Loans, this is the difference between the rate charged and the rate credited on loans under your Contract. We reserve the right to assess a Loan Interest Rate Spread between 0.0% and 3.0% per annum. If applied, the Loan Interest Rate Spread is generally 2.5% per annum. For Plan Loans, interest will be charged at a rate established by each Plan Sponsor in its Plan Loan agreement. We are not entitled to any interest payments made and all Plan Loan interest payments made by participants shall be deposited into the participant’s retirement plan account for the benefit of the participant. See the “Loans ‒ Things to Consider Before Initiating a Loan” section of the full prospectus for the Contract.
6Certain Contracts that have a 0.0% Loan Interest Rate Spread may be subject to a loan initiation fee. If assessed, the loan initiation fee will apply to each outstanding loan taken and will be deducted from the Account Value. We reserve the right to change the fee charged for loan initiation, but not to exceed $125. See the “Loans ‒ Things to Consider Before Initiating a Loan” section of the full prospectus for the Contract.
7Certain Contracts that have a 0.0% Loan Interest Rate Spread may be subject to an annual loan administration fee. If assessed, the annual loan administration fee will apply to each outstanding loan and will be deducted from the Account Value annually at the beginning of each calendar year. We reserve the right to change the annual fee charged for loan maintenance, but the fee shall not exceed $50. See the “Loans ‒ Things to Consider Before Initiating a Loan” section of the full prospectus for the Contract.
8We reserve the right to deduct a charge for premium taxes from your Account Value or from payments to the Account at any time, but not before there is a tax liability under state law. See “CHARGES AND FeesPremium and Other Taxes” in the full prospectus for the Contract.

The next item shows the minimum and maximum total operating expenses charged by the Funds that you may pay periodically during the time that you own the Contract. A complete list of the Funds available under the Contract, including their annual expenses, may be found in an appendix to this summary prospectus. See “APPENDIX: FUNDS AVAILABLE UNDER THE CONTRACT.”

 

Annual Fund Expenses

Range of total annual Fund operating expenses before any waivers or expense reimbursements 0.17% l.64%
Range of total annual Fund operating expenses after any waivers or expense reimbursements11 0.17% 1.48%

 

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 (assuming no loans), annual Contract expenses and annual Fund expenses.

 

The following examples assume that you invest $100,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated. The Examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each year and assume the most expensive combination of annual Fund expenses. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

 

Example A:  If you withdraw your entire Account Value at the end of the applicable time period: 1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
$9,882 $15,771 $21,832 $35,387
Example B:  If you do not withdraw your entire Account Value or if you select an Income Phase payment option at the end of the applicable time period:12 1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
$3,267 $9,975 $16,922 $35,387

 

 

9 These expenses may be waived, reduced or eliminated in certain circumstances. See “CHARGES AND FEES - Periodic Fees and Charges” in the full prospectus for the Contract.
10 The mortality and expense risk charge, included in the base contract expenses, 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. The base contract expenses also reflect an administration expense charge equal to 0.25% annually of your Account Value invested in the Subaccounts. See “CHARGES AND FEES - Periodic Fees and Charges - Mortality and Expense Risk Charge” in the full prospectus for the Contract.
11 Any expense waivers or reimbursements will remain in effect until at least April 30, 2023, and can only be terminated early with approval by the Fund company’s board of directors.
12 This example will not apply if during the Income Phase a nonlifetime payment option is elected with variable payments and a lump-sum payment is requested within a certain number of years as specified in the contract. In that case, the lump-sum payment is treated as a withdrawal during the Accumulation Phase and may be subject to an early withdrawal charge. (Refer to Example A.)
