Address of Principal Executive Office (Street and Number)

Hartford, Connecticut 06102-5056

PART II — RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)
 
If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)
 
   (a) The reason described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;
     
þ  (b) The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and
     
   (c) The accountant’s statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.
 
PART III – NARRATIVE
 
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period. (Attach extra sheets if needed)
 
On February 6, 2015, The Phoenix Companies, Inc. (“Phoenix”), the ultimate parent of PHL Variable Insurance Company (the “Registrant”), filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) disclosing that certain of its previously issued financial statements should no longer be relied upon and should be restated because of material errors identified in such financial statements (the “Phoenix Restatement”).
 
Phoenix has announced that it presently intends to effect the Phoenix Restatement in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (the “Phoenix 2014 Form 10-K”), which it expects to file with the SEC by March 31, 2015, within the extension period afforded under Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
 
As a result of the work required to be done in connection with the Phoenix Restatement and the anticipated timing of the filing of the Phoenix 2014 Form 10-K, the Registrant is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (the “PHL Variable 2014 Form 10-K”) on or before the prescribed due date because it is unable to assemble the necessary information to complete the PHL Variable 2014 Form 10-K within the allotted time without incurring unreasonable effort and expense.
 
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
 
The foregoing contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  We intend for these forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions of the federal securities laws relating to forward-looking statements.  These forward-looking statements include statements relating to, or representing management’s beliefs about,  future events, transactions, strategies, operations and financial results, including, without limitation, our expectation to provide information within anticipated timeframes, and otherwise in accordance with law, the outcome of litigation and claims as well as regulatory examinations, investigations, proceedings and orders arising out of the restatements and the failure by the Registrant and its parent company, The Phoenix Companies, Inc., to file SEC reports on a timely basis, potential penalties that may result from failure to timely file statutory financial statements with state insurance regulators, and the Registrant’s ability to satisfy its requirements under, and maintain the listing of its shares on, the NYSE.  Such forward-looking statements often contain words such as “will,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “is targeting,” “may,” “should” and other similar words or expressions.  Forward-looking statements are made based upon management’s current expectations and beliefs and are not guarantees of future performance.  Our ability to resume a timely filing schedule with respect to our SEC filings is subject to a number of contingencies, including but not limited to, whether existing systems and processes can be timely updated, supplemented or replaced, and whether additional filings may be necessary in connection with the restatements. Our actual business, financial condition or results of operations may differ materially from those suggested by forward-looking statements as a result of risks and uncertainties which include, among others, those risks and uncertainties described in any of our other filings with the SEC.  Certain other factors which may impact our business, financial condition or results of operations or which may cause actual results to differ from such forward-looking statements are discussed or included in our periodic reports filed with the SEC and are available on our website at www.phoenixwm.com under “Investor Relations.”  You are urged to carefully consider all such factors.  We do not undertake or plan to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in plans, assumptions, estimates or projections, or other circumstances occurring after the date of this Form, even if such results, changes or circumstances make it clear that any forward-looking information will not be realized.  If we make any future public statements or disclosures which modify or impact any of the forward-looking statements contained in or accompanying this Form, such statements or disclosures will be deemed to modify or supersede such statements in this Form.
