SUPPLEMENT DATED JULY 3, 2013

TO THE

PROSPECTUSES

DATED APRIL 30, 2012, SUPPLEMENTED SEPTEMBER 20, 2012, NOVEMBER 16, 2012
AND MARCH 6, 2013, AS REVISED MARCH 20, 2013 (the “Prospectus”)

Waiver of Income Edge Fee

The quarterly portion of the Income Edge Fee for your Certificate that was due on July 1, 2013 has been waived by PHL Variable Insurance Company (the “Company”). The Company is waiving this fee because, as described below, the restatement of certain of the Company’s financial statements is not yet complete. Except as regards the obligation to pay the quarterly portion of the Income Edge Fee on July 1, 2013, the terms and conditions of your Certificate are not changed by this fee waiver. The next quarterly portion of the Income Edge Fee for your certificate will be due and deducted as described in the Prospectus.

PHL Variable Restatement of Certain Financial Statements

Background. As we previously disclosed to you by prospectus supplement, we have determined that PHL Variable Insurance Company’s previously issued audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, which were incorporated by reference into the April 30, 2012 prospectus, and the unaudited financial statements for the quarterly periods ended June 30, 2012, March 31, 2012, September 30, 2011, June 30, 2011, and March 31, 2011, prepared on the basis of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) should no longer be relied upon and should be restated because of certain errors in those financial statements.

On May 31, 2013, the Company disclosed in a periodic report filed with the SEC on Form 8-K that it had received from the Connecticut Insurance Department (“Connecticut”), its domiciliary insurance regulator, a 30-day extension for submission of its audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 prepared in accordance with Statements of Statutory Accounting Principles (“STAT”) and the subsequent filing of management’s report on internal control over financial reporting for the Company.

The Company also disclosed that similar extension requests had been made in the other jurisdictions where the Company is authorized to conduct business and that the Company was not aware of the denial of any such request. Further, the Company disclosed that, accordingly, it would not be filing such materials with the required authorities on or before the June 1, 2013 filing deadline and that the delay related to the previously announced GAAP restatement process that was still underway. The Company also noted that the 2012 audited STAT financial statements, when completed, could materially and adversely vary from the unaudited STAT financial results currently available on the Company’s website.

Updates.

Extensions to File with State Insurance Regulators

On June 28, 2013, the Company said it had received from Connecticut an additional extension to August 1, 2013 for submission of its audited STAT financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the filing of management’s report on internal control over financial reporting of the Company. The Company has made requests for further extensions in the other jurisdictions in which the Company is authorized to conduct business. The Company is not aware of the denial of any such request, except that it has been notified by a few jurisdictions that it may be subject to fines/penalties until such time as the 2012 audited STAT financial statements and management’s report on internal control over financial reporting of the Company are filed. Most jurisdictions have not responded to the requests for extensions. The Company intends to seek further extensions as required.

Update regarding 2012 Annual STAT Financial Statements

The Company has determined that the completion of its 2012 audited STAT financial statements is dependent on substantial completion of the restatement of prior period financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP for both the Company and its indirect parent, The Phoenix Companies Inc., the evaluation of internal control over financial reporting and the related audit processes, none of which is expected to be completed by August 1, 2013. The situation remains fluid as additional issues are identified and resolved.

Therefore, the Company does not expect to file its 2012 audited STAT financial results with the insurance regulators in the states in which it is authorized to conduct business within the timeframe afforded by the current extension granted by its domiciliary state.

The Company advises that its full year 2012 and first quarter 2013 unaudited STAT financial results filed with its domiciliary state insurance regulator can continue to be relied upon, but that situation can change. The Company notes that there are errors arising from the restatement process and the STAT and GAAP audits that have been identified, some of which have been quantified while others have not yet been fully assessed and quantified. These errors, along with additional errors that may be identified, could, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely impact the 2012 unaudited STAT financial results that have been made publicly available by the Company. As a result, the 2012 audited STAT financial statements, when completed, could materially and adversely vary from the unaudited 2012 STAT financial results.

Unaudited STAT financial results for the third quarter of 2012, full year 2012, and the first quarter of 2013 were filed on time with state regulators.

Update regarding GAAP Restatement

The Company said the GAAP restatement work continues to move forward and the Company intends to provide another update on the GAAP restatement within the next 60 days.
