Corporate Flexible Premium Variable Universal Life Insurance Policies
Issued by
Nationwide Life Insurance Company

Nationwide VLI Separate Account-4
The date of this prospectus is May 1, 2018.
Variable life insurance is complex. This prospectus is designed to provide prospective policy owners with information about the policy that will assist them when making a decision whether or not to purchase the policy. Nationwide encourages prospective policy owners to take time to understand the policy and its potential benefits and risks. In consultation with their financial advisor, prospective policy owners should use this prospectus in conjunction with the policy and composite illustration to compare the benefits and risks of this policy against those of other life insurance policies.
The policy owner should read this entire prospectus, and the policy, and consult with a trusted financial advisor. To obtain additional information, including free copies of prospectuses for the mutual funds or a copy of the Statement of Additional Information, or to make service transaction requests, contact Nationwide using any of the methods described in Contacting the Service Center.

These securities have not been approved or disapproved by the SEC nor has the SEC passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of the prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
This prospectus is not an offering in any jurisdiction where such offering may not lawfully be made. Not all Riders, terms, conditions, benefits, programs, features and investment options are available or approved for use in every state. Contact the Service Center to review a copy of the policy and any Riders or endorsements. This prospectus contains all material rights and features of the policy.
The policy is NOT: insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation; a bank deposit; available in every state; or insured or endorsed by a bank or any federal government agency.
The policy may decrease in value to the point of being valueless because of poor Investment Experience.
The purpose of this policy is to provide life insurance protection for the beneficiary named by the policy owner. If the purchaser’s primary need is not life insurance protection, then purchasing this policy may not be in the best interest of the purchaser. Nationwide makes no claim that the policy is in any way similar or comparable to a systematic investment plan of a mutual fund.
If this policy is being purchased to replace existing life insurance, the purchaser should carefully consider the benefits, features, and costs of this policy versus those of the policy being replaced.
The policy includes an Enhancement Benefit which is a partial return of charges upon certain surrenders. Policies without such a benefit may have lower overall charges when compared to the policies described in this prospectus. The value of this benefit may be more than off-set by the higher overall charges associated with having such a benefit.
Nationwide offers a variety of variable universal life policies. Despite offering substantially similar features and investment options, certain policies may have lower overall charges than others including the policy described herein. These differences in charges may be attributable to differences in sales and related expenses incurred in one distribution channel versus another.

For convenience, definitions of certain words and phrases used in the prospectus are provided in Appendix B: Definitions.
In Summary: Policy Benefits
Death Benefit
The primary benefit of the policy is life insurance coverage. While the policy is In Force, the Death Benefit will be paid to the beneficiary when the Insured dies. The purpose of the policy is to provide corporate entities a vehicle for informally financing certain employee benefit plans (such as executive deferred compensation plans), not to provide individuals with a Death Benefit. To fulfill this purpose, the policy owner designates the beneficiary, not the Insured. The policy owner can elect one of three available Death Benefit options.
Death Benefit Options
Note: The Death Benefit will be the greater of the amount produced by the death benefit option in effect on the date of the Insured's death or the Minimum Required Death Benefit, see The Minimum Required Death Benefit.
Death Benefit Option 1: The Death Benefit will be the Total Specified Amount as of the Insured's date of death.
Death Benefit Option 2: The Death Benefit will be the Total Specified Amount plus the Enhanced Cash Value as of the Insured's date of death.
Death Benefit Option 3: The Death Benefit will be the Total Specified Amount plus the accumulated premium account (which consists of all Premium payments, up to the maximum stated in the Policy Data Pages, plus interest), less any partial surrenders, as of the Insured's date of death.
Choice of Policy Proceeds
The Policy Proceeds may be paid in a lump sum, or a variety of options that will pay out over time.
Coverage Flexibility
Subject to conditions, the policy owner may choose to:
change the death benefit option;
increase or decrease the Base Policy Specified Amount and/or Rider Specified Amount;
change beneficiaries; and
change ownership of the policy.
Access to Cash Value
Subject to conditions, the policy owner may:
take a policy loan, see Policy Loans.
take a partial surrender, see Partial Surrender.
surrender the policy for its Cash Surrender Value at any time while the policy is In Force, see Full Surrender.
Premium Flexibility
The policy owner will select a Premium payment plan for the policy at the time of application. Within limits, the policy owner may vary the frequency and amount of Premium payments, see Premium Payments and Unfavorable Investment Experience.
Investment Options
Net Premium, loan repayments, and Cash Value may be allocated among fixed and/or variable investment options available in the policy.
The policy currently offers a fixed investment option which will earn interest daily, see Fixed Account.
6

 


The variable investment options offered under the policy correspond to mutual funds designed to be the underlying investment options of variable insurance products. Nationwide VLI Separate Account-4 contains a separate Sub-Account for each of the underlying mutual funds offered in the policy.
Transfer Requests
Policy owners may request to transfer allocations between available investment options of the policy (i.e., the Fixed Account and Sub-Accounts). Requests to transfer allocations between policy investment options will be processed in the Valuation Period they are received at the Service Center as long as the request is in good order. Requests that are not in good order may be delayed or returned, see Contacting the Service Center. Transfer requests from a Sub-Account may be subject to short-term trading fees and policies and procedures intended to reduce the potentially detrimental impact that disruptive trading has on Investment Experience, see Transfers Among and Between Policy Investment Options.
Taxes
Earnings on the policy are generally not taxable to the policy owner, unless withdrawn from the policy. This is known as tax deferral. In addition, beneficiaries generally will not have to include Death Benefit Proceeds as taxable income, see Taxes.
Assignment
Policy owners may assign the policy as collateral for a loan or another obligation while the policy is In Force, see Assigning the Policy.
Examination Right
For a limited time, the policy owner may cancel the policy and receive a refund, see Right to Cancel (Examination Right).
Riders
The policy owner may purchase one or more of the Riders listed below, subject to availability in the state where the policy is issued. There may be additional charges assessed for elected Riders and Rider charges may vary based upon the individual characteristics of the Insured. Operation and benefits of the Riders described in this prospectus may vary by the state where the policy is issued.
Change of Insured Rider (no charge)
Supplemental Insurance Rider
For additional information, see Policy Riders and Rider Charges.
Choice of Charge Structure
The policy provides for different charge structures, or "policy components," that permit policy purchasers to determine how to apportion policy expenses (including distribution expenses) over the life of the policy. Each of the policy components applicable to the Base Policy Specified Amount and Rider Specified Amount apportions charges in a different manner between monthly charges, premium loads and deferred premium loads. At the time of application, the policy owner selects a policy component configuration. Some of the charges associated with the policy are lower under the policy components applied to Rider Specified Amount when compared to the corresponding policy component applied to Base Policy Specified Amount, see Supplemental Insurance Rider. In addition, compensation paid to broker-dealer firms will vary based upon the configuration of policy components chosen and certain policy components can produce lower compensation for the broker-dealer firm than others. Policy components available under the policy include:
Policy Component A has a Premium Load that declines each year over the first five policy years and a Deferred Premium Load that is based on Premium paid in the first policy year and is charged in policy years two through five.
Policy Component B has a Premium Load that declines over the first five policy years. No Deferred Premium Load applies under this policy component.
Policy Component C has a current Premium Load that is lower than the Premium Load on Policy Components A and B, and declines over a shorter, four year, period. No Deferred Premium Load applies.
7

 


Policy Component D has no Premium Load or Deferred Premium Load, and higher aggregate current monthly charges when compared to Policy Components A, B and C.
Each policy component is described in greater detail in Standard Policy Charges and in Appendix C: Blending Examples of Policy Charges. The policy owner should read these sections carefully before choosing policy components. Changes to policy components after the policy is issued are only permitted upon approval by Nationwide. Illustrations of policy component configurations are available upon request through a registered representative or by request to the Service Center.
The policy owner should obtain illustrations demonstrating the differences among various policy component configurations and combinations of coverage under the base policy and the Supplemental Insurance Rider before investing. Policy component configurations should be chosen carefully; policy component configurations impact the charges assessed under the policy and the total compensation paid to the broker dealer firm.
In Summary: Policy Risks
Variable universal life insurance is not suitable as an investment vehicle for short-term savings. It is designed for long-term financial planning. Policy owners accessing the Cash Value in the early policy years could incur potentially substantial surrender charges. The Cash Value, and the Death Benefit to the extent the Death Benefit includes or is based on the policy's Cash Value, will be dependent upon the investment performance of the policy owner's investment allocations and the fees, expenses and charges paid over the life of the policy. A policy owner may not earn sufficient returns from their selection of investment options to pay a policy’s periodic charges so that additional premium payments may be required over the life of the policy to prevent it from lapsing.
State Variations
Due to variations in state law, many features of the policy described in this prospectus may be different or may not be available at all depending on the state in which the policy is issued.
Possible variations include, but are not limited to, Rider terms and availability, availability of certain investment options, duration of the right to cancel period, policy exchange rights, policy Lapse and/or reinstatement requirements, and the duration of suicide and incontestability periods. Variations due to state law are subject to change without notice at any time. This prospectus describes all the material features of the policy. To review a copy of the policy and any Riders or endorsements for the state in which the policy will be issued, the policy owner can contact the Service Center, see Contacting the Service Center.
Risk of Increase in Current Fees and Charges
Nationwide may change policy and/or Rider charges and rates under the policy any time there is a change in Nationwide's future expectations related to items such as company investment earnings, mortality experience, persistency experience, expenses, including reinsurance expenses, and taxes. Nationwide will provide advance notice of any increase in policy and/or Rider charges.
If a change in the charges or rates causes an increase to the policy and/or Rider charges, the policy's Cash Value could decrease. If a change in the charges or rates causes a decrease to the policy and/or Rider charges, the policy's Cash Value could increase. Policy and Rider charges will not exceed the maximum charges shown in the fee tables, see In Summary: Fee Tables and Standard Policy Charges.
Improper Use
Variable universal life insurance is not suitable as an investment vehicle for short-term savings. It is designed for long-term financial planning. The policy owner will incur fees at the time of purchase that may more than offset any favorable Investment Experience. If it is expected that access to the policy's Cash Value will be needed in the near future, the policy should not be purchased.
Unfavorable Sub-Account Investment Experience
The Sub-Accounts may generate unfavorable Investment Experience. Unfavorable Investment Experience and the deduction of policy and Sub-Account charges may lower the policy’s Cash Value potentially resulting in a Lapse of insurance coverage, even if all Premium is paid as planned.
8

 


Note: A customized projection of policy values (a "policy illustration") is available from your registered representative at the time of application and after the policy is issued. The policy owner selects the Premium amount and frequency shown in the policy illustration to show Nationwide how much Premium the policy owner intends to pay and when. The policy owner also selects assumed Investment Experience. Illustrated Premium and assumed Investment Experience are not guaranteed. Investment Experience varies over time, is rarely the same year-over-year, and may be negative. Because the policy is a variable universal life insurance policy with the potential for unfavorable Investment Experience, including extended periods of significant stock market decline, additional Premium may be required to meet a policy owner's goals and/or to prevent the policy from Lapsing even if all Premium is paid as planned. Generally, variable universal life insurance is considered a long-term investment. Policy owners should weigh the investment risk and costs associated with the policy against their objectives, time horizon, risk tolerance, and ability to pay additional Premium if necessary.
Adverse Tax Consequences
Existing federal tax laws that benefit this policy may change at any time. These changes could alter the favorable federal income tax treatment the policy enjoys, such as the deferral of taxation on the gains in the policy's Cash Value and the exclusion of the Death Benefit Proceeds from the taxable income of the policy's beneficiary. Partial and full surrenders from the policy may be subject to taxes. The income tax treatment of the surrender of Cash Value is different in the event the policy is treated as a modified endowment contract under the Code. Generally, tax treatment of modified endowment contracts is less favorable when compared to a life insurance policy that is not a modified endowment contract. For example, distributions and loans from modified endowment contracts may currently be taxed as ordinary income and not a return of investment, see Taxes.
Fixed Account Transfer Restrictions and Limitations
In addition to the Sub-Accounts available under the policy, Net Premium can be allocated to the Fixed Account. Before the policy's Maturity Date, the policy owner may make transfers involving the Fixed Account without penalty or adjustment, subject to transfer restrictions. These transfers will be in dollars and Nationwide may limit the frequency and dollar amount of transfers involving the Fixed Account. See Fixed Account Transfers for details about restrictions that apply to transfers to and from the Fixed Account.
Sub-Account Transfer Limitations
Frequent transfers among the Sub-Accounts may dilute the value of Accumulation Units, cause the underlying mutual funds to incur higher transaction costs, and interfere with the underlying mutual funds’ ability to pursue their stated investment objectives. This could result in less favorable Investment Experience and a lower Cash Value. Nationwide has instituted procedures to minimize disruptive transfers. While Nationwide expects these procedures to reduce the adverse effect of disruptive transfers, it cannot ensure that it has eliminated these risks.
Sub-Account Investment Risk
A comprehensive discussion of the risks of each underlying mutual fund may be found in the mutual fund’s prospectus. Read each mutual fund's prospectus before investing. Free copies of each mutual fund's prospectus may be obtained by contacting the Service Center, see Contacting the Service Center.
Risk of Policy Lapse
Cash Surrender Value can be reduced by unfavorable Investment Experience, policy loans, partial surrenders and the deduction of policy charges. Underlying mutual fund fees are factored into the NAV used to calculate the Accumulation Unit Value of each Sub-Account and may also reduce Cash Surrender Value, see Mutual Fund Operating Expenses. Whenever Cash Surrender Value is insufficient to cover the policy’s charges, the policy is at risk of Lapse; the policy could terminate without value and insurance coverage would cease.
Policy Component Allocations
There is an increased risk of Lapse in instances where there is too great an allocation to policy components A, B, or C, in conjunction with little or no renewal Premiums paid.
9

 


Limitation of Access To Cash Value
A policy owner can access Cash Value through loans, full surrender, and partial surrenders, subject to limitations and any applicable processing fees and surrender charges. Limitations include the amount and frequency of the loan or partial surrender, see Policy Loans and Surrenders.
In Summary: Fee Tables
The following tables describe the fees and expenses assessed under the policy. The rates in these tables may be rounded up to the nearest one-hundredth decimal. These tables should be read in conjunction with the corresponding section of this prospectus that describes the fee or expense in more detail. All charges deducted from the policy's Cash Value are taken proportionally from the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account except where noted. Fees may vary by policy component.
The first table describes the fees and expenses that a policy owner will pay at the time the policy owner pays Premium into the policy, surrenders the policy, or transfers Cash Value between investment options.

2 The policy owner will be expected to pay the Illustration Charge by check or money order at the time of the request. This charge will not be deducted from Cash Value.
The next table describes the fees and expenses that a policy owner will pay periodically while the policy is In Force, not including mutual fund operating expenses.

2 The Cost of Insurance Charge varies according to the Insured's age, sex (if not unisex classified), tobacco use, Substandard Ratings, underwriting class, the number of years from the Policy Date, the Base Policy Specified Amount, whether coverage has been elected under the Supplemental Insurance Rider, and the elected policy component configurations. The Cost of Insurance maximum charge calculation does not include substandard rated policies. For substandard rated policies, the maximum charge is $125.00 per $1,000 of Net Amount at Risk.
3 The representative for the Base Policy Cost of Insurance Charge shown is for policies with applications dated on or after September 30, 2008. The representative for policies with applications dated prior to September 30, 2008, is as follows: Policy Component A is $0.33; Policy Component B is $0.31; Policy Component C is $0.32; and Policy Component D is $0.30.
4 The Supplemental Insurance Rider Cost of Insurance maximum charge calculation does not include substandard rated policies. For substandard rated policies, the maximum charge is $125.00 per $1,000 of Net Amount at Risk.
5 The representative for the Supplemental Insurance Rider Cost of Insurance Charge shown is for policies with applications dated on or after September 30, 2008. The representative for policies with applications dated prior to September 30, 2008, is as follows: Policy Component A is $0.20; Policy Component B is $0.24; Policy Component C is $0.24; and Policy Component D is $0.15.
6 The Flat Extra Charge is only applicable if certain factors result in an Insured having a Substandard Rating. An Insured with more than one Substandard Rating may be assessed more than one Flat Extra Charge. Under no circumstance will the assessment of a Flat Extra Charge result in the Cost of Insurance Charge exceeding the maximum Cost of Insurance Charge, see Cost of Insurance.
7 The Sub-Account Asset Charge is based on assets allocated to the Sub-Accounts and is deducted only from the Sub-Account allocations. The maximum guaranteed annual rate for this charge is 1.25%, but ultimate charges assessed may be higher or lower because the charge is taken monthly rather than annually. Values in the table are listed at the annual rate. Maximum guaranteed annual and monthly rates are shown on the Policy Data Pages. See Sub-Account Asset Charges for a detailed table of annual rate charges.
8 The Supplemental Insurance Rider Sub-Account Asset Charge varies according to the ratio of the Cash Value to the maximum annual Premium allowed under the Code assuming that: (i) the policy is not a modified endowment contract; (ii) the policy's death benefit is equal to the Total Specified Amount; and (iii) seven level, annual Premiums are paid; (iv) there are no premiums resulting from a Section 1035 exchange; and (v) there are no adjustments due to a state imposed requirement or to substandard underwriting ratings. The Supplemental Insurance Rider Sub-Account Asset Charge is deducted only from the Sub-Account allocations. The current charges shown here are the highest amounts currently charged, see Supplemental Insurance Rider.
9 The current Base Policy Specified Amount Charge shown is for policies with applications dated on or after September 30, 2008. For policies with applications dated prior to September 30, 2008, the current charge is $0.30 per $1,000 of Base Policy Specified Amount.
  For all policies, in policy years 21 and later, the Base Policy Specified Amount Charge per $1,000 is reduced to $0.01 per $1,000 of Base Policy Specified Amount. For policies with applications dated prior to September 30, 2008, with a Total Specified Amount in excess of $50,000, the current charge applied to amounts attributable to Base Policy Specified Amount per $1,000 for such excess amounts is $0.09 for policy years one through 20 and $0.01 for policy years 21 and later.
10 The current Supplemental Insurance Rider Specified Amount Charge shown is for policies with applications dated on or after September 30, 2008. For policies with applications dated prior to September 30, 2008, the current charge is $0.05 per $1,000 of Rider Specified Amount.
  For all policies, policy years 21 and later, the Supplemental Insurance Rider Specified Amount Charge per $1,000 is reduced to $0.01 per $1,000 of Rider Specified Amount. For policies with applications dated prior to September 30, 2008, with a Total Specified Amount in excess of $50,000, the current charge applied per $1,000 for such excess amounts is $0.01 for all policy years.
11 The Policy Loan Interest Charge is described in more detail in Policy Loans.

Policy Investment Options
Policy owners designate how Net Premium payments are allocated among the Sub-Accounts and/or the Fixed Account. Allocation instructions must be in whole percentages and the sum of the allocations must equal 100%.
Fixed Account
Nationwide's obligations under the Fixed Account are backed by assets of its general account. The general account contains all of Nationwide's assets other than those in this and other Nationwide separate accounts and is used to support Nationwide's annuity and insurance obligations.
Subject to applicable law, Nationwide has sole discretion over the investment of assets of the general account and policy owners do not share in the investment experience of, or have any preferential claim on, those assets. Nationwide bears the full investment risk for all amounts allocated to the Fixed Account.
Because of exemptive and exclusionary provisions, interests in the Fixed Account have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and the general account has not been registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Accordingly, neither the general account nor any interests therein are subject to the provisions of these acts. Nationwide has been advised that the staff of the SEC has not reviewed the disclosure in this prospectus relating to the Fixed Account. Disclosure regarding the Fixed Account, however, is subject to certain generally-applicable provisions of the federal securities laws relating to accuracy and completeness of statements made in prospectuses.
Minimum Guaranteed Interest Rate
Nationwide guarantees that Cash Value allocated to the Fixed Account will accrue interest daily at an effective annual rate that Nationwide determines without regard to the actual investment experience of the general account. Interest crediting rates are set at the beginning of each calendar month but are subject to change at any time. Nationwide will credit any interest in excess of the guaranteed interest crediting rate at its sole discretion. Nationwide may not credit any interest in excess of the guaranteed interest crediting rate and different rates may apply to different Premium allocations or exchanges.
Currently, the Fixed Account is the only fixed investment option available under the policy. In the future, Nationwide may offer one or more additional fixed accounts with characteristics that differ from those of the current option, but is under no obligation to do so. The effective annual rate Nationwide declares for the Fixed Account will never be less than 2%.
Interest Crediting Risks and Lapse
The policy owner assumes the risk that the actual credited interest rate may not exceed the guaranteed interest crediting rate. Premiums applied to the policy at different times may receive different interest crediting rates. The interest crediting rate may also vary for new Premium versus Sub-Account transfers. Interest credited to the Fixed Account may be insufficient to pay the policy's charges. Additional Premium payments may be required over the life of the policy to prevent it from Lapsing.
Nationwide’s Claims-Paying Ability
Guaranteed benefits or interest crediting associated with the Fixed Account is a general account obligation of Nationwide. Therefore, any guaranteed benefit, interest crediting, and the policy owner's right to receive payment, is subject to Nationwide’s claims-paying ability and may be subordinate to other claims on the general account in the event Nationwide becomes insolvent.
15

 


Restrictions on Transfers to and from the Fixed Account
Prior to the policy's Maturity Date, the policy owner may make transfers involving the Fixed Account. These transfers will be in dollars. Nationwide may impose limits on the dollar amount, percentage of Cash Value, number, and/or frequency of transfers involving the Fixed Account, see Fixed Account Transfers for details about restrictions that apply to transfers to and from the Fixed Account.
Variable Investment Options
The variable investment options available under the policy are Sub-Accounts that invest in underlying mutual funds that are registered with the SEC. The mutual funds' registration with the SEC does not involve the SEC's supervision of the management or investment practices or policies of the mutual funds. The mutual funds are designed primarily as investments for variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies issued by insurance companies.
Each Sub-Account's assets are held separately from the assets of the other Sub-Accounts. The result is that each Sub-Account operates independently of the other Sub-Accounts so the income or losses of one Sub-Account will not affect the Investment Experience of any other Sub-Account.
Underlying mutual funds in the separate account are NOT publicly traded mutual funds. They are only available as investment options in variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by life insurance companies, or in some cases, through participation in certain qualified pension or retirement plans.
The investment advisors of the underlying mutual funds may manage publicly traded mutual funds with similar names and investment objectives. However, the underlying mutual funds are NOT directly related to any publicly traded mutual fund. Policy owners should not compare the performance of a publicly traded fund with the performance of underlying mutual funds participating in the separate account. The performance of the underlying mutual funds could differ substantially from that of any publicly traded funds.
The particular underlying mutual funds available under the policy may change from time to time. Specifically, underlying mutual funds or underlying mutual fund share classes that are currently available may be removed or closed off to future investment. New underlying mutual funds or new share classes of currently available underlying mutual funds may be added. In the case of new share class additions, future allocations may be limited to the new share classes. The policy owner will receive notice of any such changes that effect the policy.
In the future, additional underlying mutual funds managed by certain financial institutions, brokerage firms, or their affiliates may be added to the separate account. These additional underlying mutual funds may be offered exclusively to purchasing customers of the particular financial institution or brokerage firm, or through other exclusive distribution arrangements.
Valuation of Accumulation Units
Nationwide accounts for the value of a policy owner's interest in the Sub-Accounts by using Accumulation Units. The value of each Accumulation Unit varies daily based on the Investment Experience of the underlying mutual fund in which the Sub-Account invests. Nationwide uses each underlying mutual fund's Net Asset Value (NAV) to calculate the daily Accumulation Unit value for the corresponding Sub-Account. Note, however, that the Accumulation Unit value will not equal the underlying mutual fund's NAV. This daily Accumulation Unit valuation process is referred to as "pricing" the Accumulation Units, see How Sub-Account Investment Experience is Determined.
Accumulation Units are priced as of the New York Stock Exchange's (NYSE) close of business, normally 4:00 p.m. EST, on each day that it is open. Nationwide will price Accumulation Units on each day that the NYSE is open for business. Any transactions received after the close of the NYSE will be priced as of the next Valuation Period. Nationwide will not price Accumulation Units on these recognized holidays:
New Year's Day
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
Presidents' Day
Good Friday
Memorial Day
Independence Day
Labor Day
Thanksgiving
Christmas
In addition, Nationwide will not price Accumulation Units if:
16

 


(1) trading on the NYSE is restricted;
(2) an emergency exists making disposal or valuation of securities held in the separate account impracticable; or
(3) the SEC, by order, permits a suspension or postponement for the protection of security holders.
SEC rules and regulations govern when the conditions described in items (1) and (2) exist.
How Sub-Account Investment Experience is Determined
Sub-Account allocations are accounted for in Accumulation Units. A policy owner's interest in the Sub-Accounts is represented by the number of Accumulation Units owned by the policy owner. The number of Accumulation Units associated with a given Sub-Account allocation is determined by dividing the dollar amount allocated to the Sub-Account by the Accumulation Unit value for the Sub-Account. The number of Sub-Account Accumulation Units owned by a policy owner will not change except when Accumulation Units are redeemed to process a requested surrender, transfer, loan, or to take policy charges, or when additional Accumulation Units are purchased with Premium and loan repayments.
Initially, Nationwide sets the Accumulation Unit value at $10 for each Sub-Account. Thereafter, the daily value of Accumulation Units in a Sub-Account will vary depending on the Investment Experience of the underlying mutual fund in which the Sub-Account invests. Nationwide accounts for these performance fluctuations by using a "net investment factor," as described below, in the daily Sub-Account valuation calculations. Changes in the net investment factor may not be directly proportional to changes in the NAV of the mutual fund shares.
Nationwide determines the net investment factor for each Sub-Account on each Valuation Period by dividing (a) by (b), where:
(a) is the sum of:
the NAV per share of the mutual fund held in the Sub-Account as of the end of the current Valuation Period; and
the per share amount of any dividend or income distributions made by the mutual fund held in the Sub-Account (if the date of the dividend or income distribution occurs during the current Valuation Period); plus or minus
a per share charge or credit for any taxes reserved for as a result of the Sub-Account's investment operations if changes to the law result in a modification to the tax treatment of the separate account; and
(b) is the NAV per share of the mutual fund held in the Sub-Account determined as of the end of the immediately preceding Valuation Period.
Nationwide determines the Sub-Account’s Accumulation Unit value at the end of each Valuation Period. The Accumulation Unit value for any Valuation Period is determined by multiplying the Accumulation Unit value as of the prior Valuation Period by the net investment factor for the Sub-Account for the current Valuation Period.
Transfers Among and Between the Policy Investment Options
Sub-Account Transfers
Policy owners may request transfers to or from the Sub-Accounts once per Valuation Period, subject to the terms and conditions described in this prospectus and the prospectuses of the underlying mutual funds. Transfers will be implemented by redeeming Accumulation Units from the Sub-Account(s) indicated by the policy owner and using the redemption proceeds to purchase Accumulation Units in another Sub-Account(s) as directed by the policy owner. The net result is that the policy owner's Cash Value will not change (except due to standard market fluctuations), but the number and allocation of Accumulation Units within the policy will change.
Neither the policies nor the mutual funds are designed to support active trading strategies that require frequent movement between or among Sub-Accounts (sometimes referred to as "market-timing" or "short-term trading"). A policy owner who intends to use an active trading strategy should consult his/her registered representative and request information on other Nationwide policies that offer mutual funds that are designed specifically to support active trading strategies.
Nationwide discourages (and will take action to deter) short-term trading in this policy because the frequent movement between or among Sub-Accounts may negatively impact other investors in the policy. Short-term trading can result in:
17

 


the dilution of the value of the investors' interests in the mutual fund;
mutual fund managers taking actions that negatively impact performance (i.e., keeping a larger portion of the mutual fund assets in cash or liquidating investments prematurely in order to support redemption requests); and/or
increased administrative costs due to frequent purchases and redemptions.
To protect investors in this policy from the negative impact of these practices, Nationwide has implemented, or reserves the right to implement, several processes and/or restrictions aimed at eliminating the negative impact of active trading strategies. Nationwide cannot guarantee that attempts to deter active trading strategies will be successful.
If Nationwide is unable to deter active trading strategies, the performance of the Sub-Accounts that are actively traded may be adversely impacted. Policy owners remaining in the affected Sub-Account will bear any resulting increased costs.
Short-term Trading Fees
Currently, the available underlying mutual funds available under the policy do not assess short-term trading fees. However, Nationwide may add new underlying mutual funds, or new share classes of currently available underlying mutual funds, that assess short-term trading fees. In the case of new share class additions, subsequent allocations may be limited to that new share class. Short-term trading fees are a charge assessed by an underlying mutual fund when the policy owner transfers out of a Sub-Account before the end of a stated period. These fees will only apply to Sub-Accounts corresponding to underlying mutual funds that impose such a charge. The underlying mutual fund intends short-term trading fees to compensate the fund and its shareholders for the negative impact on fund performance that may result from disruptive trading practices, including frequent trading and short-term trading (market timing) strategies. The fees are not intended to adversely impact policy owners not engaged in such strategies. The separate account will collect the short-term trading fees at the time of the transfer by reducing the policy owner's Sub-Account value. Nationwide will remit all such fees to the underlying mutual fund. If a short-term trading fee is assessed, the policy owner will receive a confirmation notice.
U.S. Mail Restrictions
Nationwide monitors transfer activity in order to identify policy owners that might be engaged in harmful trading practices. If Nationwide determines a policy owner is engaged in harmful trading, it may revoke a policy owner's privilege to make trades by means other than written communication ("U.S. mail restriction").
If the U.S. mail restriction is imposed, then all trade requests must be submitted via U.S. mail for a 12 month period per client request. The U.S. mail restriction may be applied if two or more "transfer events" are submitted in a 30 day period. Transfer events are calculated at the end of each Valuation Period by grouping together all transfer requests for that Valuation Period. This grouping is counted as a "transfer event," regardless of the number of Sub-Accounts involved.
For policies owned by a corporation or another entity, Nationwide's procedures include the review of aggregate entity-level transfers, not individual transfer instructions. It is Nationwide's intention to protect the interests of all policy owners; it is possible, however, for some harmful trading to go on undetected. For example, in some instances, an entity may make transfers based on the instruction of multiple parties such as employees, partners, or other affiliated persons based on those persons participation in entity sponsored programs. Nationwide does not systematically monitor the transfer instructions of these individual persons. Aggregate trades among the Sub-Accounts are monitored for frequency, pattern, and size.
Other Restrictions
Nationwide reserves the right to refuse or limit transfer requests, or take any other action it deems necessary, in order to protect policy owners and beneficiaries from the negative investment results that may result from short-term trading or other harmful investment practices employed by some policy owners (or third parties acting on their behalf). In particular, trading strategies designed to avoid or take advantage of Nationwide's monitoring procedures (and other measures aimed at curbing harmful trading practices) that are nevertheless determined by Nationwide to constitute harmful trading practices, may be restricted.
Any restrictions that Nationwide implements will be applied consistently and uniformly. The policy owner will be notified if a transfer request is rejected.
Underlying Mutual Fund Restrictions and Prohibitions
Pursuant to regulations adopted by the SEC, Nationwide is required to enter into written agreements with the underlying mutual funds which allow the underlying mutual funds to:
18

 


(1) request the taxpayer identification number, international taxpayer identification number, or other government issued identifier of any policy owner;
(2) request the amounts and dates of any purchase, redemption, transfer, or exchange request ("transaction information"); and
(3) instruct Nationwide to restrict or prohibit further purchases or exchanges by policy owners that violate policies established by the underlying mutual fund (whose policies may be more restrictive than Nationwide’s policies).
Nationwide is required to provide such transaction information to the underlying mutual funds upon their request. In addition, Nationwide is required to restrict or prohibit further purchases or requests to exchange into an underlying mutual fund upon instruction from the underlying mutual fund. Nationwide and any affected policy owner may not have advance notice of such instructions from an underlying mutual fund to restrict or prohibit further purchases or requests to exchange into an underlying mutual fund. If an underlying mutual fund refuses to accept a purchase or request to exchange into the underlying mutual fund, Nationwide will keep any affected policy owner in their current underlying mutual fund allocation.
Fixed Account Transfers
Prior to the policy's Maturity Date, the policy owner can make transfers involving the Fixed Account. These transfers will be in dollars. The frequency and amount of transfers involving the Fixed Account are subject to the following restrictions.
Transfers to the Fixed Account
On transfers to the Fixed Account, the policy owner is prohibited from transferring more than 25% of the Cash Value allocated to the Sub-Accounts as of the close of business on the prior Valuation Period. Additionally, Nationwide will refuse any transfer to the Fixed Account if the Cash Value allocated to the Fixed Account comprises more than 25% of the policy's Cash Value. These restrictions do not apply if the policy owner chooses to exercise the right of conversion, see To Irrevocably Transfer Cash Value Or Exchange The Policy.
Transfers from the Fixed Account
Transfers from the Fixed Account to the Sub-Account(s) during a policy year are limited to the greater of: (a) 15% of that portion of the Cash Value attributable to the Fixed Account as of the end of the previous policy year; or (b) 120% of the amount transferred from the Fixed Account during the previous policy year. Transfers are also limited to one transfer from the Fixed Account to the Sub-Accounts during any 90 day period.
Transfer requests that exceed the current Fixed Account limits will not be processed. Fixed Account and Sub-Account allocations will remain as they were prior to the request to the extent they exceed the limits.
Any restrictions that are implemented will be applied consistently and uniformly and upon advance notice to the policy owner. Nationwide may waive the above restrictions if doing so would not be unfairly discriminatory or prohibited by state law.
Contacting the Service Center
All inquiries, paperwork, information requests, service requests, and transaction requests should be made to the Service Center:
by telephone at 1-877-351-8808 (TDD: 1-800-238-3035)
by mail to Nationwide Life Insurance Company, Nationwide Business Solutions Group, One Nationwide Plaza (1-11-401), Columbus, Ohio 43215-2220
by fax at 1-855-677-2357
by Internet at www.nationwide.com.
Nationwide reserves the right to restrict or remove the ability to submit service requests via Internet, phone, or fax upon written notice.
Not all methods of communication are available for all types of requests. To determine which methods are permitted for a particular request, refer to the specific transaction provision in this prospectus, or call the Service Center. Requests submitted by means other than described in this prospectus could be returned or delayed.
19

 


Service and transaction requests will generally be processed in the Valuation Period they are received at the Service Center as long as the request is in good order, see Valuation of Accumulation Units. Good order generally means that all necessary information to process the request is complete and in a form acceptable to Nationwide. If a request is not in good order, Nationwide will take reasonable actions to obtain the information necessary to process the request. Requests that are not in good order may be delayed or returned. Nationwide reserves the right to process any transaction request sent to a location other than the Service Center in the Valuation Period it is received at the Service Center. On any day the post office is closed, Nationwide is unable to retrieve service and transaction requests that are submitted by mail. This will result in a delay of the delivery of those requests to the Service Center.
If mandated under applicable law, Nationwide may be required to reject a Premium payment and to refuse to process transaction requests for transfers, surrenders, loans, and/or Death Benefit Proceeds until instructed otherwise by the appropriate regulator. Nationwide may also be required to provide information about a specific policy to government regulators.
Nationwide will use reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions are genuine and Nationwide will not be liable for following instructions that it reasonably determined to be genuine. Nationwide may record telephone requests. Telephone and computer systems may not always be available. Any telephone system or computer can experience outages or slowdowns for a variety of reasons. The outages or slowdowns could prevent or delay processing. Although Nationwide has taken precautions to support heavy use, it is still possible to incur an outage or delay. To avoid technical difficulties, submit transaction requests by mail.
The Policy
General Information
The policy is a legal contract. It will comprise and be evidenced by: a written contract; any Riders; any endorsements; the Policy Data Pages; and the application, including any supplemental application. The benefits described in the policy and this prospectus, including any optional Riders or modifications in coverage, may be subject to Nationwide’s underwriting and approval. In addition to the terms and conditions of the policy, policy owner rights are governed by this prospectus and protected by federal securities laws and regulations. Nationwide will consider the statements made in the application as representations, and will rely on them as being true and complete. However, Nationwide will not void the policy or deny a claim unless a statement is a material misrepresentation. If a policy owner makes an error or misstatement on the application, Nationwide will adjust the Death Benefit, Rider benefits, and Cash Value accordingly.
Due to state law variations, the terms, benefits, programs and Riders described in this prospectus may vary or may not be available depending on the state in which the policy is issued. Possible state law variations include, but are not limited to, Rider terms and charges, availability of certain investment options, duration of the right to cancel, policy exchange rights, policy Lapse and/or reinstatement requirements, and suicide, and incontestability periods. This prospectus describes all the material features of the policy. State variations are subject to change without notice at any time. To review a copy of the policy and any Riders or endorsements for the state in which the policy will be issued, contact the Service Center, see Contacting the Service Center.
Under limited circumstances and at the request of the policy owner, Nationwide may backdate the policy by assigning a Policy Date earlier than the date the application is signed. Backdating may result in lower cost of insurance rates; however, policy charges will be deducted from the policy's Cash Value for each accrued month that the policy was backdated.
Any modification or waiver of Nationwide’s rights or requirements under the policy must be in writing and signed by Nationwide’s president or corporate secretary. No agent may bind Nationwide by making any promise not contained in the policy.
Nationwide may modify the policy, its operations, or the separate account’s operations to meet the requirements of any law or regulation issued by a government agency to which the policy, Nationwide, or the separate account is subject. Nationwide may modify the policy to assure that it continues to qualify as a life insurance policy under federal tax laws. Nationwide will notify policy owners of all modifications and will make appropriate endorsements to the policy.
The policy is nonparticipating, meaning that Nationwide will not be contributing any operating profits or surplus earnings toward the policy Proceeds.
20

 


To the extent permitted by law, policy benefits are not subject to any legal process on the part of a third-party for the payment of any claim, and no right or benefit will be subject to the claims of creditors (except as may be provided by assignment).
It is important to remember that the portion of any amounts allocated to Nationwide’s general account, including any amounts allocated to the Fixed Account, and any guaranteed benefits Nationwide may provide under the policy exceeding the value of amounts held in the separate account are subject to Nationwide’s claims paying ability.
Any money Nationwide pays, or that is paid to Nationwide, must be in the currency of the United States of America.
In order to comply with the USA PATRIOT Act and rules promulgated thereunder, Nationwide has implemented procedures designed to prevent policies described in this prospectus from being used to facilitate money laundering or the financing of terrorist activities.

Nationwide’s businesses are highly dependent upon its computer systems and those of its business partners. This makes Nationwide potentially susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from a cyber-attack. These risks include direct risks, such as theft, misuse, corruption and destruction of data maintained by Nationwide, and indirect risks, such as denial of service attacks on service provider websites and other operational disruptions that impede Nationwide’s ability to electronically interact with service providers. Cyber-attacks affecting Nationwide, the underlying mutual funds, intermediaries, and other service providers may adversely affect Nationwide and policy values. In connection with any such cyber-attacks, Nationwide and/or its service providers and intermediaries may be subject to regulatory fines and financial losses and/or reputational damage. Cybersecurity risks may also impact the issuers of securities in which the underlying mutual funds invest, which may cause the underlying mutual funds to lose value. Although Nationwide undertakes substantial efforts to protect its computer systems from cyber-attacks, including internal processes and technological defenses that are preventative or detective, and other controls designed to provide multiple layers of security assurance, there can be no guarantee that Nationwide, its service providers, or the underlying mutual funds will avoid losses affecting the policy due to cyber-attacks or information security breaches in the future.
In the event that policy values are adversely affected as a result of the failure of Nationwide’s cybersecurity controls, Nationwide will take reasonable steps to restore policy values to the levels that they would have been had the cyber-attack not occurred. Nationwide will not, however, be responsible for any adverse impact to policy values that result from the policy owner or its designee’s negligent acts or failure to use reasonably appropriate safeguards to protect against cyber-attacks.
Use of the Policy
The policy provides policy owners, such as individuals or corporations, life insurance on an Insured upon whose life the policy owner has an insurable interest. This policy may be used in connection with various types of executive and employee benefit plans. When purchased in connection with such benefit plans, the policy may qualify for non-medical underwriting, see Cost of Insurance Charge.
The policies are based upon actuarial tables that may distinguish between men and women unless the purchaser is an entity and requests non-sex distinct tables be used for underwriting. The policies generally provide different benefits to men and women of the same age. Accordingly, employers and employee organizations should consider, in consultation with legal counsel, the impact of sex-distinct underwriting on any employment related insurance or benefit program before purchasing the policy.
Policy Owner and Beneficiaries
Policy Owner
The policy belongs to the policy owner named in the application or as a result of a valid assignment. The purchaser and initial policy owner must be: (i) a corporation; or (ii) a legal entity established by a corporation. The Insured is the person named in the application. The policy owner must have an insurable interest in the Insured up to the full amount of coverage. Otherwise, this policy will not qualify as life insurance under applicable state and federal tax law. Policy owners should consult with a qualified advisor when determining the amount of coverage and before taking any action to increase the amount of coverage to ensure that the policy owner maintains a sufficient insurable interest.
21

 


Policy Owner Rights
The policy owner may exercise all policy rights in accordance with policy terms while the policy is In Force, subject to Nationwide’s approval. These rights include, but are not limited to, the following:
changing the policy owner, contingent owner, and beneficiary;
assigning, exchanging, and/or converting the policy;
requesting transfers, policy loans, and partial surrenders or a complete surrender; and
changing insurance coverage such as death benefit option changes, adding or removing Riders, and/or increasing or decreasing the Total Specified Amount.
These rights are explained in greater detail throughout this prospectus.
Subject to Nationwide’s approval, the policy owner may name a different policy owner or contingent owner while the policy is In Force by submitting a written request to the Service Center. Any such change request will become effective as of the date signed, however, it will not affect any payment made or action taken before the change is received and recorded by Nationwide. There may be adverse tax consequences to changing parties of the policy. Nationwide will review the available Enhancement Benefit and may revise it in the event a new policy owner is named.
Beneficiaries
The principal right of a beneficiary is to receive the Death Benefit Proceeds if the Insured dies while the policy is In Force. While the policy is In Force, a policy owner may name more than one beneficiary, designate primary and contingent beneficiaries, change or add beneficiaries, and/or direct Nationwide to distribute the Proceeds other than as described below.
If a primary beneficiary dies before the Insured, Nationwide will pay the Death Benefit Proceeds to the surviving primary beneficiaries. Unless specified otherwise by the policy owner, Nationwide will pay multiple primary beneficiaries in equal shares. A contingent beneficiary will become the primary beneficiary if all primary beneficiaries die before the Insured and before any Proceeds become payable. A policy owner may name more than one contingent beneficiary. Unless specified otherwise by the policy owner, Nationwide will also pay multiple contingent beneficiaries in equal shares. If no beneficiary or contingent beneficiary is alive or in existence upon the Insured's death, the Death Benefit Proceeds will be payable to the policy owner.
Requests to change or add beneficiaries must be submitted in writing to the Service Center. Nationwide may require that the policy owner send the policy for endorsement before the change is recorded. Any such change request will become effective as of the date signed, however, it will not affect any payment made or action taken before the change is received and recorded by Nationwide.
Purchasing a Policy
The policy is available for Insureds between the age of 18 and 79. To purchase the policy, prospective purchasers must submit a completed application and the required initial Premium payment.
Nationwide must receive evidence of insurability that satisfies its underwriting standards (this may require a medical examination) before it will issue a policy. Nationwide can provide prospective purchasers with the details of its underwriting standards upon request. Nationwide reserves the right to reject any application for any reason permitted by law. Additionally, Nationwide reserves the right to modify its underwriting standards on a prospective basis for newly issued policies at any time.
The minimum initial Base Policy Specified Amount in most states is $50,000. Nationwide reserves the right to modify the minimum Base Policy Specified Amount on a prospective basis for newly issued policies at any time.
Underwriting may occur at a corporate level to determine whether or not the risks and expenses associated with the insurance applied for is appropriate for Nationwide to assume in placing the policy. Nationwide may refuse to issue any additional policies to a policy owner who has previously been issued policies by Nationwide that have aggregate scheduled annual Premium that exceeds $15 million.
Initial Premium Payment
The initial Premium payment is due on the Policy Date. Any due and unpaid policy charges will be subtracted from the initial Premium payment. Insurance coverage will not be effective until the initial Premium is paid, even if the Policy Date precedes the date the initial Premium is paid. The required initial Premium payment amount is stated in the Policy Data
22

 


Pages and will depend on the following factors: the initial Base Policy Specified Amount, death benefit option elected, any Riders elected, and the policy component elected, the Insured's age, health, and activities. Initial Premium may be paid to the Service Center or to an authorized Nationwide representative. The initial Premium payment will not be applied to the policy until the underwriting process is complete.
Insurance Coverage Effective Date
Unless the policy is issued pursuant to an exchange under Section 1035 of the Code, issuance of full insurance coverage occurs on the latest of:
the date Nationwide certifies that the complete application materials have been submitted and the underwriting conditions have been satisfied;
the Policy Date; or
the date the initial Premium is received at the Service Center.
If the policy is issued as a result of an exchange under Section 1035 of the Code, issuance of full insurance coverage occurs on the later of:
the date the insurance carrier of the exchanged policy authorizes payment of such policy's proceeds to Nationwide; or
the date Nationwide certifies that the complete application materials have been submitted and the underwriting conditions have been satisfied, provided there is sufficient Premium to pay policy charges for at least three months.
Nationwide has the right to reject any application for insurance. If an application is rejected, the Premium will be returned to the policy owner within two business days of the date the decision to reject an application is made.
With respect to any reinstatement or increase in coverage, the effective date of coverage will be the monthly anniversary of the Policy Date on or next following the date Nationwide approves the supplemental application. With respect to any decrease in coverage, the effective date will be the monthly anniversary of the Policy Date on or next following the date Nationwide receives the request.
Insurance coverage will end upon the Insured's death, the policy owner terminates coverage in writing, Nationwide pays the Maturity Proceeds, the Grace Period ends, or the policy is surrendered in full.
Right to Cancel (Examination Right)
Under state law a policy owner may, for a limited time, cancel the policy and receive a refund (commonly referred to as the "right to cancel" period). The length of the right to cancel period depends on state law and may vary depending on whether the policy was purchased to replace another policy. The minimum right to cancel period is 10 days.
In order to cancel the policy during the right to cancel period, a policy owner must submit a written cancellation request and return the policy either to the sales representative or to the Service Center. Nationwide will honor cancellation requests received by the last day of the right to cancel period (if returned by US mail, the request must be post-marked by the last day of the right to cancel period). If the policy is canceled during the right to cancel period, Nationwide will treat the policy as if it was never issued.
Cancellation requests received after the close of business on the date the right to cancel period expires will not be canceled free of charge.
Within seven days of a cancellation request, Nationwide will refund the amount prescribed by state law. The amount Nationwide refunds will be Cash Value and any charges deducted or, in certain states, the greater of the Premium paid or the policy's Cash Value plus any charges deducted.
Allocation of Net Premium During Right to Cancel Period
Where state law requires the return of initial Premium for cancellations during the right to cancel period, Nationwide will allocate initial Net Premium to the Fixed Account as instructed. Nationwide will allocate initial Net Premium allocated to the Sub-Accounts to the available money market Sub-Account until the right to cancel period expires. At the expiration of the right to cancel period, Nationwide will transfer the amount held in the money market Sub-Account to the requested Sub-Accounts based on the allocation instructions in effect at the time of the transfer.
23

 


Where state law requires the return of Cash Value, Nationwide will allocate all of the initial Net Premium to the designated Sub-Accounts and Fixed Account based upon the allocation instructions in effect at the time, on the next Valuation Period.
Premium Payments
This policy does not require a payment of a scheduled Premium amount to keep it In Force. It will remain In Force as long as the conditions that cause a policy to Lapse do not exist, see Lapse and Unfavorable Investment Experience. Premium payment reminder notices will be sent according to the Premium payment schedule selected by the policy owner. Additional Premium payments must be submitted to the Service Center. Each Premium payment must be at least $25. Upon request, Nationwide will furnish Premium payment receipts. Policy owners may make additional Premium payments at any time while the policy is In Force and prior to the Maturity Date, subject to the following:
Nationwide may require satisfactory evidence of insurability before accepting any additional Premium payment that results in an increase in the policy's Net Amount At Risk.
Nationwide will refund Premium payments that exceed the applicable premium limit established by the Code to qualify the policy as a contract for life insurance.
Nationwide will monitor Premiums paid and will notify policy owners when the policy is in jeopardy of becoming a modified endowment contract, see Taxes.
Nationwide may require that policy Indebtedness be repaid before accepting any additional Premium payments.
Subsequent Premium payments will be allocated according to the allocation instructions in effect at the time the Premium is received.
Cash Value
Nationwide will determine the Cash Value at least monthly. Cash Value will fluctuate daily and there is no guaranteed Cash Value. At the end of any given Valuation Period, the Cash Value is equal to the sum of:
the value of the Accumulation Units allocated to the Sub-Accounts, see Valuation of Accumulation Units;
amounts allocated to the Fixed Account, including credited interest; and
amounts allocated to the policy loan account (only if a loan was taken), including credited interest, see Policy Loans.
Surrenders and policy charges and deductions will reduce the Cash Value of the policy. If Cash Value is a factor in calculating a benefit associated with the policy, such as the Death Benefit or a benefit associated with an elected Rider, the value of that benefit will also fluctuate, including being reduced due to surrenders and policy charge deductions. If the policy is surrendered or Lapses, the Cash Value will be reduced by the amount of any Indebtedness.
On any date during the policy year, the Cash Value equals the Cash Value on the preceding Valuation Period, plus any Net Premium applied since the previous Valuation Period, minus any policy charges, plus or minus any investment results, and minus any partial surrenders.
Enhancement Benefit
An Enhancement Benefit is included in the policy and is added to the Cash Value when there is a complete surrender of the policy but is not applied to Section 1035 exchanges, policy loans, and partial surrenders. The Enhancement Benefit is essentially a partial return of policy charges assessed. In most instances, the Enhancement Benefit will not exceed the sum of all charges assessed on the policy.
The purpose of the Enhancement Benefit is to allow the policy during earlier years to more closely track the corporate liability it is intended to off-set. This is accomplished by lowering the cost associated with a surrender in early policy years.
The minimum Enhancement Benefit available in policy year one equals 0.10% of Premium in policy year one. The Enhancement Benefit will vary based on the following:
sex (if not unisex classified) of the Insured;
the elapsed time since the Policy Date;
Investment Experience;
the charges assessed to the policy;
24

 


the policy component configurations; and
the pattern of renewal Premium payments.
The Enhancement Benefit may increase or decrease by policy year, but it is designed to decline to zero at the end of its scheduled duration, which is 10 years. If the Supplemental Insurance Rider is in effect, the Enhancement Benefit is reduced. The Supplemental Insurance Rider reduces the Enhancement Benefit because the lower charges associated with the Rider result in less of an enhancement required to off-set early policy year costs associated with surrender.
The Enhancement Benefit is paid from Nationwide’s general account at the time the policy is completely surrendered. Nationwide may postpone payment of the Enhancement Benefit for up to six months from the date of surrender.
Changing the Amount of Base Policy Insurance Coverage
The policy owner may request to change the Base Policy Specified Amount. To change the Base Policy Specified Amount, the policy owner must submit a written request to the Service Center. Changes to the Base Policy Specified Amount will become effective on the next monthly policy anniversary after Nationwide approves the request unless the policy owner requests and Nationwide approves a different date. However, no change will take effect unless the Cash Surrender Value would be sufficient to keep the policy In Force for at least three months. Nationwide may limit the number of Base Policy Specified Amount changes to one increase and one decrease each policy year. Changes to the Base Policy Specified Amount will typically alter the Death Benefit.
Increases
To increase the Base Policy Specified Amount, the policy owner must provide satisfactory evidence of insurability. The Insured must be between age of 18 and 79 at the time of the request. Any request to increase the Base Policy Specified Amount must be at least $10,000 and the Base Policy Specified Amount after the increase may not exceed the Maximum Death Benefit. Requests to increase the Base Policy Specified Amount will be applied in the proportion the increase bears to Total Specified Amount. This means if a policy has the Supplemental Insurance Rider, all increases will be done proportionally between the policy's Base Policy Specified Amount and Rider Specified Amount. The policy owner cannot elect how to allocate increases in Total Specified Amount after the Policy Date. Increases to the Base Policy Specified Amount will be allocated among policy components in the same manner as the original policy or the most recent increase, unless an alternative allocation is specifically requested and approved by Nationwide. An increase in the Base Policy Specified Amount may cause an increase in the Net Amount At Risk. Because the Cost of Insurance Charge is based on the Net Amount At Risk, and because there will be a separate cost of insurance rate for the increase, this will usually cause the policy's Cost of Insurance Charge to increase. An increase in the Base Policy Specified Amount may require the policy owner to make larger or additional Premium payments in order to avoid Lapsing the policy.
Decreases
The policy owner may request to decrease the Base Policy Specified Amount any time after the first policy year. Requests to decrease the Base Policy Specified Amount will be applied to the most recent Base Policy Specified Amount increase and applied backwards ending with the original Base Policy Specified Amount. Decreases to the Base Policy Specified Amount will be applied in the same allocation of policy components that exists in the insurance being decreased, unless an alternative allocation is specifically requested and approved by Nationwide. Decreases to the Base Policy Specified Amount may decrease policy charges calculated per $1,000 of Base Policy Specified Amount or Net Amount At Risk (including any Rider charges), depending on the death benefit option elected and the amount of the Cash Value. Nationwide will deny any request to reduce the Base Policy Specified Amount below the minimum Total Specified Amount shown on the Policy Data Page. Nationwide will also deny any request that would disqualify the policy as a contract for life insurance.
To Irrevocably Transfer Cash Value Or Exchange The Policy
During the first 24 months of coverage, or longer if required by state law, the policy owner has a right to irrevocably elect to transfer 100% of the policy's Cash Value to the Fixed Account, irrespective of transfer restrictions. After this election, the policy will no longer participate in the Investment Experience of the Sub-Accounts. The policy's Cash Value will be credited with the Fixed Account's interest rate. To invoke this right, the policy must be In Force and not in the Grace Period, and the policy owner must submit a written request to the Service Center on approved forms.
25

 


After the first 24 months of coverage, the policy owner may make a request to exchange the policy for a different policy subject to evidence that the Insured meets current underwriting standards of insurability. The new policy may be one of Nationwide's available flexible premium adjustable life insurance policies that does not have a greater Death Benefit than this policy immediately prior to the exchange date. This policy will terminate when the new policy takes effect. The exchange may have tax consequences, see Exchanging The Policy For Another Life Insurance Policy.
Terminating the Policy
There are several ways that the policy can terminate. All coverage under the policy will terminate when any one of the following events occur:
the policy owner requests in writing to the Service Center to terminate coverage;
the Insured dies;
the policy is In Force on the Maturity Date and the policy owner does not elect to extend coverage beyond the Maturity Date;
the policy Lapses; or
the policy is surrendered for its Cash Surrender Value.
Terminating the policy may result in adverse tax consequences.
Assigning the Policy
The policy owner may assign any or all rights under the policy while it is In Force, subject to Nationwide’s approval. The beneficiary's interest will be subject to the person or entity to which the policy owner assigned rights. Assignments must be in writing on a form satisfactory to Nationwide. Assignments will become effective on the date signed, unless otherwise specified by the policy owner, and are subject to any payments or actions taken by Nationwide before it is received and recorded at the Service Center. Nationwide is not responsible for the sufficiency or validity of any assignment. Assignments will be subject to any Indebtedness, policy liens, garnishments, court orders, and any previous assignments. If the assignment qualifies as an exchange under Section 1035 of the Code, no Enhancement Benefit will be paid.
Reports and Illustrations
Nationwide will send scheduled Premium payment reminders and transaction confirmations to policy owners upon request. Nationwide will also send quarterly and annual statements that show:
the Total Specified Amount;
Premiums paid;
all charges since the last report;
the current Cash Value;
the Cash Surrender Value; and
Indebtedness.
Confirmations of individual financial transactions, such as transfers, partial surrenders, and loans are generated and mailed automatically. Copies may be obtained by contacting the Service Center.
Nationwide will send these reminders and reports to the address provided on the application unless directed otherwise. At any time, policy owners may ask for an illustration of future benefits and values under the policy, see Illustration Charge.
Standard Policy Charges
Nationwide takes deductions from Premium payments and/or the Cash Value to compensate it for the services and benefits provided, the costs and expenses incurred, and the risks assumed. Nationwide may generate a profit from any of the charges assessed under the policy and certain expenses may be recovered utilizing more than one charge.
Monthly charges are deducted from Cash Value beginning on the Policy Date. Charges are taken proportionally from the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account. Charges taken against allocations to the Sub-Accounts are assessed by redeeming Accumulation Units. The number of Accumulation Units redeemed is determined by dividing the dollar amount of the
26

 


charge by the Accumulation Unit value for the Sub-Account. Nationwide does not deduct policy charges or Rider charges from the Cash Value attributable to the policy loan account. Interest charged and interest credited against policy loans may result in net charges. For a complete description of how interest is credited and charged, see Policy Loans.
The charges reflect the costs and risks associated with the policy. The Insured is assigned to an underwriting classification based upon a combination of his/her Issue Age, sex (if not unisex classified), tobacco rate type, type of evidence of insurability, and any Substandard Ratings. In evaluating and underwriting a corporate or legal entity purchasing the policy, and setting cost of insurance charges, Nationwide may take into account several factors, including the purpose for which the policy is being purchased, the anticipated amount and timing of Premium payments, and the expected asset persistency.
Nationwide may change policy and/or Rider charges and rates under the policy at any time, subject to the guaranteed maximum rates stated in the Policy Data Pages. Changes in policy and/or Rider charges and rates vary by changes in future expectations for factors including, but not limited to, Nationwide’s investment earnings, mortality experience, persistency experience, expenses, including reinsurance expenses, and taxes. Changes to policy and/or Rider charges and rates will be on a uniform basis for Insured’s of the same Issue Age, sex, rate class, rate type, any Substandard Rating, and Base Policy Specified Amount whose policies have been In Force for the same length of time. If a change in the charges or rates causes an increase to the policy and/or Rider charges, the policy’s Cash Value could decrease. If a change in the charges or rates causes a decrease to the policy and/or Rider charges, the policy’s Cash Value could increase. Any changes will be determined in accordance with state law. Policy and Rider charges will never exceed the maximum charges shown in the fee tables, see In Summary: Fee Tables.
Policy Components
There are several charge structures, or "policy components," under the policy which can be selected and blended, i.e., the policy owner may elect to apply 100% of the Total Specified Amount to a single policy component, or apply portions (totaling 100%) of the Total Specified Amount to one or more policy components.
The policy components permit policy purchasers to determine how to allocate policy charges (including charges for distribution expenses) over the life of the policy. Certain policy components rely on premium loads to cover expenses, while others rely on periodic charges that spread expenses over the years. Different policy components consist of different patterns of current policy charges.
Policy Component A calls for the greatest apportionment of charges on the front-end. This policy component includes a Premium Load that declines over the first five policy years, as well as a Deferred Premium Load that is assessed in policy years two through five and is based on Premium paid in the first policy year. The aggregate current monthly charges (i.e., the cost of insurance charge, the specified amount charge, and the sub-account asset charge) under this policy component are lower than those for Policy Components B and C during the first four policy years, and lower than those for Policy Component D in all policy years.
Policy Component B includes a Premium Load that declines over the first five policy years, but does not include a Deferred Premium Load. The aggregate current monthly charges are lower than those for Policy Component A after the first four policy years, lower than those for Policy Component C after the first 10 policy years, and lower than those for Policy Component D in all policy years.
Policy Component C apportions charges on the front-end to a lesser extent than under either Policy Component A or B: the Premium Load is at a lower, declining rate and for a shorter duration (i.e., for four rather than five years). The aggregate current monthly charges are higher than those for Policy Component B during the first 10 policy years, and similar thereafter. The aggregate current monthly charges are higher than those for Policy Component A during the first four policy years, and similar thereafter. The aggregate current monthly charges are lower than those for Policy Component D in all years.
Policy Component D has no Premium Load—either front-end or deferred. The aggregate current monthly charges under this policy component are always higher than those under Policy Components A, B, and C.
The charges assessed under the policy will depend upon the policy component configurations selected and whether coverage under the Supplemental Insurance Rider is elected. Generally, if coverage under the Supplemental Insurance Rider is elected and the Base Policy Specified Amount is concurrently offset by the same amount, some of the charges associated with the policy will be lower because the charges under the rider are generally lower than those available under a base policy (i.e., a policy without any riders), see Policy Riders and Rider Charges. Depending on the actual amount and timing of Premium payments and Investment Experience, at any point in time, the Cash Value and Death Benefit associated with one policy component may turn out to be less favorable than they would have been if another component
27

 


had been selected. While Nationwide reserves the right to change the pattern of charges under a policy component at any time, the levels of charges associated with each policy component will never exceed the maximum charges in the Periodic Charges table, see In Summary: Fee Tables.
When an application to purchase the policy is submitted, the policy owner selects a policy component configuration to apply to the Base Policy Specified Amount. For example, the policy owner might elect to apply 25% of Base Policy Specified Amount to each policy component, or 50% to Policy Component B and 50% to Policy Component D. This selection of policy component configurations determines how the current policy charges are weighted in order to calculate the amount of each charge assessed. In other words, the charge assessed is a proportional blending of the charges associated with each of the policy components that apply to the Total Specified Amount. If the policy owner elected to apply 25% of the Base Policy Specified Amount to each policy component, then 25% of the Premium Load for each policy component would be added to determine the amount of Premium Load; the same procedure would be followed to determine the Deferred Premium Load or the monthly policy charges under that policy component configuration. Appendix C: Blending Examples of Policy Charges contains examples showing how the amount and timing of charges under the policy vary under the different policy components, and how those charges are blended.
Nationwide may reject applications with certain policy component configurations based on: (1) the amount of overall expenses under the policy and the timing of the allocation of those expenses over the life of the policy; (2) the anticipated amount and timing of Premium payments; and (3) the expected asset persistency based on the purpose for which the corporation/entity is purchasing the policy. Any rejection of an application with certain policy component configurations is based on whether Nationwide can assume expenses and risks based on its assessment of the corporate purchaser and the preceding factors. Nationwide's underwriting policies are available upon request. Once the policy has been issued, changes to the policy component configurations are permitted only with Nationwide's prior approval. Policy component configuration choices are documented in the Policy Data Pages.
The policy is complex. The amount of charges assessed under the policy will depend upon the policy component configuration(s) applied, and whether the Supplemental Insurance Rider is elected. The policy owner should request and review illustrations demonstrating the results of various policy component allocation configurations and the benefits/detriments of electing available Riders. By comparing and discussing the various scenarios with a registered representative, the policy owner can identify the policy component configuration(s) that is/are consistent with their objectives.
Premium Load
A Premium Load is deducted from each Premium payment to partially reimburse Nationwide for sales expenses and premium taxes, and certain actual expenses--including acquisition costs. The Premium Load also provides revenue to compensate Nationwide for assuming risks associated with the policy, and revenue that may be a profit. The Premium Load applicable to the policy depends on the policy component configurations selected, the number of years since the Policy Date, the amount of annual Premium, and the amount of term insurance coverage purchased via the Supplemental Insurance Rider.
Each Premium payment is divided into contributions towards Target Premium and Excess Premium. Target Premium is an annual premium based on the Base Policy Specified Amount (i.e., the policy without any Riders) and the Insured's age and underwriting class. A portion of each Premium payment is considered a contribution towards Target Premium until the total of such contributions in a policy year equals the Target Premium. The portion considered a contribution towards Target Premium is equal to the Premium payment multiplied by the ratio of the Base Policy Specified Amount to the Total Specified Amount. The portion of each premium payment that exceeds the Target Premium is Excess Premium.
In general, election of the Supplemental Insurance Rider decreases the policy’s Target Premium because of policy charge blending (an example of policy charge blending is provided in Appendix C: Blending Examples of Policy Charges). A lower Target Premium impacts the amount of Percent of Premium Charge assessed because a lower Target Premium will result in a greater portion of Net Premium paid being considered Excess Premium. The Percent of Premium Charge is generally less when assessed against Excess Premium than when assessed against Target Premium during the early years following policy issuance or after an increase in the Total Specified Amount.
The chart below shows the current Premium Loads on Target Premium and Excess Premium that are assessed under each policy component.

The Premium Load that is charged is determined by multiplying the Premium payment by the weighted average (i.e., a proportional blending) of the Premium Loads for each policy component based on the policy component configuration(s) that the policy owner has selected, see Appendix C: Blending Examples of Policy Charges.
Each increase in the Base Policy Specified Amount is treated as new coverage, with the Premium Load attributable to the increase determined as if it is part of a newly issued policy.
Deferred Premium Load
A Deferred Premium Load is deducted from the Cash Value to partially compensate Nationwide for sales expenses and premium taxes. This charge also may provide revenue to compensate Nationwide for assuming risks associated with the policy, and revenue that may be a profit. The Deferred Premium Load applicable to the policy depends on the aggregate Premium payments made to the policy in the first policy year, the policy component configuration(s), and the amount of term insurance coverage purchased via the Supplemental Insurance Rider. Currently, Nationwide deducts the Deferred Premium Load only under Policy Component A, on the anniversary of the Policy Date in policy years two through five, and the charge is taken proportionally from the Sub-Account and Fixed Account allocations. This charge is in addition to the Premium Load assessed in those years, and is assessed regardless of whether any Premium is paid in those years.
The amount of Deferred Premium Load paid depends on the classification of the Premium payment(s) as contributing towards Target Premium or Excess Premium, and the policy component configuration(s). The chart below shows the current Deferred Premium Loads on Target Premium and Excess Premium that are assessed under each policy component.

The Deferred Premium Load is determined by multiplying the Premium payment by the weighted average (i.e., a proportional blending) of the Deferred Premium Loads for each policy component, based on the policy component configuration(s) selected. The Deferred Premium Load currently is (and is guaranteed never to exceed) 2% of aggregate Premium payments made in policy year one.
Illustration Charge
Nationwide only assesses an Illustration Charge for excessive requests for In Force policies. Excessive requests means more than 10 in any 12 month period. This charge compensates Nationwide for the administrative costs of generating the illustration. This charge will not exceed $25 per illustration requested. Any Illustration Charge must be paid at the time of the illustration request. The Illustration Charge will not be deducted from the policy's Cash Value.
The Illustration Charge is not applicable to requests for illustrations of prospective policies during the sales process.
29

 


Base Policy Cost of Insurance
A Base Policy Cost of Insurance is deducted proportionally from Sub-Account and Fixed Account allocations on the Policy Date and on each monthly anniversary of the Policy Date. The charge is intended to cover Nationwide’s expenses associated with providing expected mortality benefits and assuming certain risks associated with the policy, and to cover other expenses, including acquisition costs, and state and federal taxes. Nationwide may also profit from this charge.
The Cost of Insurance Charge is the product of the Net Amount At Risk and the cost of insurance rate. The cost of insurance rate will vary by the selected policy component, the Insured's age, sex (if not unisex classified), tobacco use, underwriting classification, any Substandard Ratings, how long the policy has been In Force, and the Base Policy Specified Amount. The cost of insurance rates are based on Nationwide’s expectations as to future mortality and expense experience, investment earnings, persistency, and taxes. The Base Policy Cost of Insurance Charge is determined by multiplying the Base Policy Net Amount At Risk by the weighted average (i.e., a proportional blending) of the cost of insurance rates for each policy component based on the policy component configuration(s) selected. Current and guaranteed monthly cost of insurance rates established at issue generally increase year over year to reflect expectations that mortality and underwriting risks generally increase as the Insured's Attained Age and the length of time the Policy has been In Force increase.
There will be a separate cost of insurance rate for the initial Base Policy Specified Amount and any Base Policy Specified Amount increase. The cost of insurance rate(s) will never be greater than what is shown on the Policy Data Pages.
Flat Extras and Substandard Ratings
Nationwide may inquire about the occupation and activities of the Insured through the underwriting process. If the activities or occupation of the Insured cause an increased health or accident risk, it may result in the Insured receiving a Substandard Rating. If this is the case, Nationwide may add an additional component to the Cost of Insurance Charge called a "Flat Extra Charge." The Flat Extra Charge accounts for the increased risk of providing life insurance when one or more of these factors apply to the Insured. The Flat Extra Charge is a component of the total Cost of Insurance Charge, so if applied it will be deducted from Cash Value on the Policy Date and the monthly anniversary of the Policy Date. The monthly Flat Extra Charge is between $0.00 and $2.08 per $1,000 of the Net Amount At Risk. If a Flat Extra Charge is applied, it is shown in the Policy Data Pages. In no event will the Flat Extra Charge result in the Cost of Insurance Charge exceeding the maximum charge shown in In Summary: Fee Tables.
Nationwide will uniformly apply a change in any cost of insurance rate for Insureds of the same age, sex, underwriting class, Substandard Ratings, and Base Policy Specified Amount, if the policies have been In Force for the same length of time. If a change in the cost of insurance rates causes an increase to a policy’s Cost of Insurance Charge, the policy's Cash Value could decrease. If a change in the cost of insurance rates causes a decrease to the policy’s Cost of Insurance Charge, the policy's Cash Value could increase.
Non-Medical Underwriting
Nationwide may underwrite the policy on a non-medical basis that may result in a higher Cost of Insurance Charge. Non medical underwriting means that a physical examination to obtain medical information on the proposed Insured is not required to issue the policy. The higher Cost of Insurance Charge would compensate Nationwide for assuming additional mortality risk as a result of issuing without the information that results from medical underwriting. The result is that healthy individuals will subsidize less healthy individuals because there is no medical underwriting, which typically results in lower cost of insurance rates being applied to fully underwritten policies. A medically underwritten policy for a healthy insured would likely have lower cost of insurance rates.
Base Policy Specified Amount Charge
A monthly Base Policy Specified Amount Charge is deducted from the policy's Cash Value to compensate Nationwide for sales, underwriting, distribution, and issuance of the policy. The applicable charge amount depends on the Total Specified Amount and is the same for all base policy component configurations. The Base Policy Specified Amount Charge will be deducted proportionally from Sub-Account and Fixed Account allocations. For all policies, the maximum guaranteed Base Specified Amount Charge is $0.40 per $1,000 of Base Policy Specified Amount. For policies with applications dated prior to September 30, 2008, the charge associated with the first $50,000 of Total Specified Amount is determined separately from the charge associated with the Total Specified Amount in excess of $50,000.
The tables below show the current Base Policy Specified Amount Charges.

1 The total charges applied to Base Policy Specified Amount are determined by adding the amount of the charges of the first $50,000 of Total Specified Amount attributable to Base Policy Specified Amount to the amount of charges attributable to Base Policy Specified Amount on Total Specified Amount in excess of $50,000. Base Policy Specified Amount will equal Total Specified Amount, unless any Rider Specified Amount is elected.
A distinct Rider Specified Amount charge applies to the Supplemental Insurance Rider. If the Rider is elected, the Total Specified Amount charges will depend upon the allocation of Total Specified Amount between the base policy and the Supplemental Insurance Rider. To determine Total Specified Amount charges, add the amount of the Base Policy Specified Amount charge to the Rider Specified Amount charge. Total charges are a weighted average of the amount of Base Policy Specified Amount and Rider Specified Amount. The end result is a charge blending, see Supplemental Insurance Rider.
Sub-Account Asset Charge
A Sub-Account Asset Charge is deducted from the policy's Cash Value allocated to the Sub-Accounts on each monthly anniversary of the Policy Date to cover certain actual expenses, including acquisitions costs and premium taxes. This charge also provides revenues for assuming certain risks associated with the policy, and revenues that may be profit. The Sub-Account Asset Charge depends on the policy component configuration(s), the amount of Cash Value, and whether there is any Supplemental Insurance Rider Specified Amount. This charge is determined for the base policy by multiplying the Cash Value allocated to the Sub-Accounts by the weighted average (i.e., a proportional blending) of the Sub-Account Asset factors for each policy component, based on the policy component configuration(s) selected. Different Sub-Account Asset factors apply to the Supplemental Insurance Rider, see Supplemental Insurance Rider.
The Sub-Account Asset Charge depends on the policy component configuration(s) selected. The table below shows the current Sub-Account Asset Factors (presented as an annual rate) for policy components for the Base Policy Specified Amount.

The Sub-Account Asset Charge is determined by proportionally blending the sub-account asset factors for the policy components selected to a single factor that is then applied to the policy's Cash Value. The guaranteed maximum annual and monthly charges are shown on the Policy Data Pages.
Administrative Charge
An administrative charge is deducted proportionally from the policy's Sub-Account and Fixed Account allocations on the Policy Date and each monthly anniversary of the Policy Date. The charge reimburses Nationwide for the costs of maintaining the policy, including accounting and record-keeping. The charge is currently $5 per month per policy. The maximum guaranteed charge is $10 per month per policy.
Mutual Fund Operating Expenses
In addition to the policy charges, there are also charges associated with the mutual funds in which the Sub-Accounts invest. Policy owners do not pay these charges directly, but these charges do affect the value of the assets allocated to the Sub-Accounts because these charges are reflected in the underlying mutual fund prices that Nationwide subsequently uses to value Sub-Account units. The underlying mutual funds' prospectuses contain additional information about these charges. Policy owners may contact the Service Center to receive, free of charge, copies of the prospectuses for any of the underlying mutual funds available under the policy.
A Note on Charges
During a policy's early years, the expenses Nationwide incurs in distributing and establishing the policy exceed the deductions. Nevertheless, Nationwide expects to make a profit over time because variable life insurance is intended to be a long-term financial investment. Accordingly, Nationwide has designed the policy with features and investment options that it believes support and encourage long-term ownership.
Nationwide makes many assumptions and accounts for many economic and financial factors when establishing the policy's fees and charges. The following is a discussion of some of the factors that are relevant to the policy's pricing structure.
Distribution, Promotional, and Sales Expenses
Distribution, promotional, and sales expenses include amounts paid to broker-dealer firms as commissions, expense allowances, and marketing allowances. Nationwide refers to these expenses collectively as "total compensation."
Nationwide has the ability to customize the total compensation package of its broker-dealer firms. Nationwide may vary the form of compensation paid or the amounts paid as commission, expense allowance, or marketing allowance; however, the total premium based compensation will not exceed the maximum of 45% of first year premiums and 15% of renewal premium after the first year. Commission may also be paid as an asset-based amount instead of a premium based amount. If an asset-based commission is paid, it will not exceed 0.85% of the non-loaned cash value per year.
Marketing allowance is based on a firm’s ability and demonstrated willingness to promote and market Nationwide’s products. How any marketing allowance is spent is determined by the firm, but generally will be used to finance firm activities that may contribute to the promotion and marketing of Nationwide’s products.
The actual amount and/or forms of total compensation paid depend on factors such as the level of premiums Nationwide receives from respective broker-dealer firms and the scope of services the firms provide. Some broker-dealer firms may not receive maximum total compensation.
32

 


Individual registered representatives typically receive a portion of the commissions/total compensation paid, depending on their arrangement with their broker-dealer firm. Policy owners should consult the registered representative or Nationwide Business Solutions Group to know the exact compensation arrangement associated with this policy.
Information on Underlying Mutual Fund Service Fee Payments
Nationwide's Relationship with the Underlying Mutual Funds
The underlying mutual funds incur expenses each time they sell, administer, or redeem their shares. The separate account aggregates policy owner purchase, redemption, and transfer requests and submits net or aggregated purchase/redemption requests to each underlying mutual fund daily. The separate account (not the policy owners) is the underlying mutual fund shareholder. When the separate account aggregates transactions, the underlying mutual fund does not incur the expense of processing individual transactions it would normally incur if it sold its shares directly to the public. Nationwide incurs these expenses instead.
Nationwide also incurs the distribution costs of selling the policy (as discussed above), which benefit the underlying mutual funds by providing policy owners with Sub-Account options that correspond to the underlying mutual funds.
An investment advisor or subadvisor of an underlying mutual fund or its affiliates may provide Nationwide or its affiliates with wholesaling services that assist in the distribution of the policy and may pay Nationwide or its affiliates to participate in educational and/or marketing activities. These activities may provide the advisor or subadvisor (or their affiliates) with increased exposure to persons involved in the distribution of the policy.
Types of Payments Nationwide Receives
In light of the above, the underlying mutual funds or their affiliates make certain payments to Nationwide or its affiliates (the "payments"). The amount of these payments is typically based on a percentage of assets invested in the underlying mutual funds attributable to the policies and other variable policies Nationwide and its affiliates issue, but in some cases may involve a flat fee. These payments are made for various purposes, including payments for the services provided and expenses incurred by the Nationwide companies in promoting, marketing and administering the policies and underlying funds. Nationwide may realize a profit on the payments received.
Nationwide or its affiliates receive the following types of payments:
Underlying mutual fund 12b-1 fees, which are deducted from underlying mutual fund assets;
Sub-transfer agent fees or fees pursuant to administrative service plans adopted by the underlying mutual fund, which may be deducted from underlying mutual fund assets; and
Payments by an underlying mutual fund's advisor or subadvisor (or its affiliates). Such payments may be derived, in whole or in part, from the advisory fee, which is deducted from underlying mutual fund assets and is reflected in mutual fund charges.
Furthermore, Nationwide benefits from assets invested in affiliated underlying mutual funds (i.e., Nationwide Variable Insurance Trust) because these affiliates receive compensation from the underlying mutual funds for investment advisory, administrative, transfer agency, distribution, and/or other services provided. Overall, Nationwide may receive more revenue with respect to affiliated underlying mutual funds than unaffiliated underlying mutual funds.
Nationwide took into consideration the anticipated mutual fund service fee payments from the underlying mutual funds when it determined the charges imposed under the policies (apart from fees and expenses imposed by the underlying mutual funds). Without these mutual fund service fee payments, Nationwide would have imposed higher charges under the policy.
Amount of Payments Nationwide Receives
For the year ended December 31, 2016, the underlying mutual fund service fee payments Nationwide and its affiliates received from the underlying mutual funds did not exceed 0.75% (as a percentage of the average daily net assets invested in the underlying mutual funds) offered through the policy or other variable policies that Nationwide and its affiliates issued. Payments from investment advisors or subadvisors to participate in educational and/or marketing activities have not been taken into account in this percentage.
Most underlying mutual funds or their affiliates have agreed to make payments to Nationwide or its affiliates, although the applicable percentages may vary from underlying mutual fund to underlying mutual fund and some may not make any payments at all. Because the amount of the actual payments Nationwide or its affiliates receive depends on the assets of
33

 


the underlying mutual funds attributable to the policy, Nationwide and its affiliates may receive higher payments from underlying mutual funds with lower percentages (but greater assets) than from underlying mutual funds that have higher percentages (but fewer assets).
For policies owned by an employer sponsored retirement plan subject to ERISA, upon a plan trustee’s request, Nationwide will provide a best estimate of plan-specific, aggregate data regarding the amount of underlying mutual fund service fee payments Nationwide received in connection with the plan’s investments either for the previous calendar year or plan year, if the plan year is not the same as a calendar year.
Identification of Underlying Mutual Funds
Nationwide may consider several criteria when identifying the underlying mutual funds, including some or all of the following: investment objectives, investment process, investment performance, risk characteristics, investment capabilities, experience and resources, investment consistency, fund expenses, asset class coverage, the strength of the adviser’s or sub-adviser’s reputation and tenure, brand recognition, and the capability and qualification of each investment firm. Other factors Nationwide may consider during the identification process are: whether the underlying mutual fund's advisor or sub-advisor is a Nationwide affiliate; whether the underlying mutual fund or its service providers (e.g., the investment advisor or sub-advisors), or its affiliates will make mutual fund service fee payments to Nationwide or its affiliates in connection with certain administrative, marketing, and support services; or whether affiliates of the underlying mutual fund can provide marketing and distribution support for sales of the policies. For additional information on these arrangements, see Types of Payments Nationwide Receives. Nationwide reviews the funds periodically and may remove a fund or limit its availability to new contributions and/or transfers of account value if we determine that a fund no longer satisfies one or more of the selection criteria, and/or if the fund has not attracted significant allocations from policy owners.
Nationwide does not recommend or endorse any particular fund and it does not provide investment advice.
There may be underlying mutual funds with lower fees and expenses, as well as other variable policies that offer underlying mutual funds with lower fees and expenses. Policy owners should consider all of the fees and charges of the policy in relation to its features. Higher policy fees and charges and underlying mutual fund fees and expenses have a direct effect on the policy’s investment performance.
Policy Riders and Rider Charges
Policy owners may purchase one or more of the policy’s Riders. There may be additional charges assessed for elected Riders, see In Summary: Fee Tables. The availability, operation, and benefits of the Riders may vary by the state where the policy is issued.
Rider charges are assessed starting on the Policy Date and each monthly anniversary of the Policy Date by taking deductions from the Cash Value. If a Rider is elected after the Policy Date, Rider charges will begin to be deducted on the first monthly anniversary after Nationwide approves the request unless the policy owner requests and Nationwide approves a different date.
Rider charges compensate Nationwide for the services and benefits provided, the costs and expenses incurred, and the risks assumed by Nationwide associated with offering the Riders. Nationwide may generate a profit from any of the Rider charges.
The maximum and minimum/current Rider charges are stated in the Fee Tables, see In Summary: Fee Tables.
Note: The charge and/or benefits received under certain Riders may be treated as a distribution from the policy for income tax purposes, see Periodic Withdrawals, Non-Periodic Withdrawals in Taxes, and Policy Loans.
Change of Insured Rider
This Rider is automatically issued with the policy with no associated charge. The benefit associated with the Change of Insured Rider is that the policy owner may designate a new Insured at any time after the Policy Date, subject to insurability and the conditions below. If this Rider is invoked, the policy charges after the change will be based on the underwriting classification and characteristics of the new Insured.
The amount of insurance coverage after the change date will be the Total Specified Amount shown on the application to change the Insured provided that (1) the policy continues to qualify as life insurance under the Code, and (2) such Total Specified Amount equals or exceeds the minimum Total Specified Amount shown on the Policy Data Pages. Coverage of
34

 


the new Insured will become effective on the change date. Coverage of the previous Insured will terminate on the day before the change date. The change date is the first monthly anniversary on or next following the date the change of Insured conditions are met. The Policy Date will not change.
Change of Insured conditions:
(1) At the time of the change, the new Insured must have the same business relationship to the policy owner as did the previous Insured.
(2) The new Insured may be required to submit satisfactory evidence of insurability.
(3) The new Insured must satisfy Nationwide’s underwriting requirements.
(4) The policy must be In Force and not be in a Grace Period at the time of the change.
(5) The new Insured must have been at least age 18 on the Policy Date.
(6) The policy owner must make written application to change the Insured to the Service Center.
Federal income tax consequences may result from a change in insured. For federal income tax purposes the substitution of a new insured is treated as an exchange of the policy for another life insurance policy. Because the new insured is not the same as the insured that was substituted, the tax free treatment for policy exchanges under Code Section 1035 may not be available because the requirement that the insured under the policy relate to the same individual would not be met; consequently, the excess Cash Surrender Value over the investment in the policy would be taxable as ordinary income. The foregoing is not comprehensive and cannot replace personalized advice provided by a competent tax professional. The policy owner should seek competent tax advice regarding the tax treatment of the policy when contemplating a change of insured.
Change of Insured Rider Charge
There is no charge associated with the Change of Insured Rider.
Supplemental Insurance Rider
General Information on the Benefits and Operation of the Supplemental Insurance Rider
This Rider will modify the amount of insurance coverage (Death Benefit) under the base policy. The benefit associated with the Supplemental Insurance Rider is term life insurance on the Insured that is: (1) in addition to the Base Policy Specified Amount; (2) payable to the beneficiary upon the Insured's death; and (3) annually renewable until the Insured reaches Attained Age 100. The charges for the Rider are calculated in the same manner as those applicable to the base policy, although different rates may apply under the various policy components available with the Supplemental Insurance Rider. Currently, if coverage under this Rider is purchased and the Base Policy Specified Amount is concurrently reduced by an off-setting amount, some of the charges associated with the base policy will be reduced. Charges under the policy components available with the Rider may be lower than the corresponding charges under the policy components available for a base policy. Rider policy component charges are lower in most cases because the Rider provides term insurance coverage. The greater the allocation is to Rider policy components, the lower the overall charges will be under the policy. Appendix C: Blending Examples of Policy Charges provides examples showing how charges are "blended" when the Supplemental Insurance Rider is elected and/or Total Specified Amount is applied to one or more policy components.
Note:
certain benefits that are normally available under the policy may be reduced or eliminated when this Rider is in effect;
adding this Rider results in a lower Enhancement Benefit;
in some years and/or at some ages, the cost of insurance charge for the Rider is more expensive than the cost of insurance for the base policy;
the Maturity Date may not be extended with respect to the Rider Specified Amount;
the Rider's death benefit terminates if the Insured is living on the Maturity Date; and
the compensation rates payable to the selling broker-dealer are lower on this Rider than those on the base policy.
35

 


The policy owner may purchase this Rider at the time of application or, subject to Nationwide's approval, at a later time provided that the policy is In Force and the Rider is purchased before the Insured reaches Attained Age 100. If purchased at the time of application, the effective date of the Rider is the same as the effective date of insurance coverage, see Insurance Coverage Effective Date. If purchased subsequently, the effective date will be the monthly anniversary of the Policy Date on or next following the date Nationwide approves the request for coverage unless the policy owner specifies and Nationwide approves, a different date. The Rider Specified Amount may be combined with the Base Policy Specified Amount to satisfy the minimum Total Specified Amount shown on the Policy Data Page. However, while the Rider is in effect, the Base Policy Specified Amount must be at least 10% of the minimum Total Specified Amount. The policy owner may request to either increase or decrease the Total Specified Amount, subject to certain restrictions.
Rider Specified Amount Increases and Reductions Due to Partial Surrender
All increases and decreases of Rider Specified Amount, including decreases due to partial surrender or forced partial surrender, are done proportionally between the amounts allocated to Base Policy Specified Amount and Rider Specified Amount.
Charges Associated with the Supplemental Insurance Rider
The Supplemental Insurance Rider charges listed below are different from the charges under the base policy. These charges will be applied to coverage under the Supplemental Insurance Rider and are in addition to the charges paid on coverage under the base policy.
Sub-Account Asset Charge;

The Sub-Account Asset Charge is determined by multiplying Cash Value by the weighted average (i.e., a blend that uses the relative proportions of the Base Policy Specified Amount and Rider Specified Amounts) of the Sub-Account Asset Factors for the base policy and the Supplemental Insurance Rider, where each Factor is based on the policy component

configuration(s) selected. Currently, the Sub-Account Asset Charge is no more than (and is guaranteed never to exceed) 0.10357% on a monthly basis (and ranges between 0.05% and 1.25% on an annual basis), of the net assets allocated to the Sub-Accounts. The guaranteed maximum annual and monthly charges applicable to a policy are shown on the Policy Data Pages.
Rider Specified Amount Charge
If the Supplemental Insurance Rider is purchased, a monthly Rider Specified Amount Charge is deducted from the policy's Cash Value to compensate Nationwide for sales, underwriting, distribution, and issuance of the Rider. The charge applicable to the policy depends on the Total Specified Amount and the allocation between Base Policy Specified Amount and Rider Specified Amount. The Rider Specified Amount Charge is the same for all policy component configurations.
The Rider Specified Amount Charge will be deducted proportionally from Sub-Account allocations and the Fixed Account.
The tables below show the current Rider Specified Amount Charges.

1 The charge associated with the first $50,000 of Total Specified Amount is determined separately from the charge associated with the Total Specified Amount in excess of $50,000. Each of these charges is determined using a weighted average (i.e., a blend that uses the relative proportions of the Base Policy Specified Amount and Rider Specified Amount) of the base and Rider charges.
The maximum guaranteed Supplemental Insurance Rider Specified Amount Charge is $0.40 per $1,000 of Rider Specified Amount.
To determine Total Specified Amount charges, add the amount of the Base Policy Specified Amount charge to the Rider Specified Amount charge. Total charges are a weighted average of the amount of Base Policy Specified Amount and Rider Specified Amount elected. The end result is charge blending, see Appendix C: Blending Examples of Policy Charges.
Rider Cost of Insurance Charge
If the Supplemental Insurance Rider is elected, a monthly Supplemental Insurance Rider Cost of Insurance Charge is deducted to compensate Nationwide for providing term life insurance on the Insured. This charge is determined by multiplying the Rider's cost of insurance rate by the Rider's death benefit (described below). The supplemental insurance cost of insurance rate is based on Nationwide's expectations as to future experience for factors such as mortality, persistency, expenses, and taxes. The supplemental insurance cost of insurance rate will vary by the Insured's Issue Age, sex (if not unisex classified), tobacco use, Substandard Ratings, underwriting class, the number of years from the Policy Date, and the policy component configurations selected. The same policy component configuration(s) selected for the base policy will apply for the Rider unless the policy owner requests, and Nationwide approves, a different configuration.
The Supplemental Insurance Rider Cost of Insurance Charge will be deducted proportionally from Sub-Account allocations and the Fixed Account. Because the Rider charge is deducted from Cash Value, purchase of this Rider could reduce the amount of the Death Benefit when the Death Benefit depends on Cash Value.
Death Benefit Calculations with the Supplemental Insurance Rider
The death benefit option chosen for the base policy will also be the death benefit option for the Rider. The current death benefit option in effect is shown on the Policy Data Page. The Death Benefit is calculated as the greater of: (1) the Total Specified Amount; or (2) the Minimum Required Death Benefit (which will differ depending on whether the guideline premium/cash value corridor test or the cash value accumulation test is used).
37

 


After the Death Benefit is calculated, it is allocated between the elected amounts of the base policy and this Rider.
(1) Base Policy Death Benefit – The amount of the Death Benefit allocated to the base policy is calculated using the formula below.
   
Base Policy
Death Benefit
= CV + (Total NAAR) x (Base Policy Specified Amount)
(Total Specified Amount)
Where:
CV = the Cash Value of the policy
Total NAAR = the total Net Amount At Risk which is the Death Benefit minus the Cash Value
The formula above determines the portion of the Death Benefit applied to the base policy by determining the ratio Base Policy Specified Amount bears to Total Specified Amount.
(2) Supplemental Insurance Rider Death Benefit – The amount of the Death Benefit allocated to the Supplemental Insurance Rider is calculated by taking the Death Benefit and subtracting the Base Policy Death Benefit (as calculated in item 1 above).
  In most instances, charges end up being lower if the policy owner elects as much coverage as possible under the Rider.
  Total Specified Amount remains the same unless an increase or decrease is requested. All increases or decreases are done proportionally based on the established allocation between Rider Specified Amount and Base Policy Specified Amount.
  If the Cash Value increases, the portion of the Death Benefit attributable to this Rider may, at times, be less than the Rider Specified Amount. If the Cash Value decreases, the portion of the Death Benefit attributable to the base policy may, at times, be less than the Base Policy Specified Amount.
Terminating the Rider
This Rider may be terminated by submitting a written request to the Service Center. Nationwide may require that the policy be submitted for endorsement. Terminating this Rider will likely result in increased policy charges because of the difference in the pattern of policy charges under the corresponding policy components for the base policy and this Rider. If the Rider is terminated, the calculation of the Death Benefit will apply exclusively to the base policy. Termination may require that the amount of Death Benefit coverage provided by the base policy be increased to maintain the qualification of the policy as a contract of life insurance under the Code.
Nationwide may deny a request to terminate this Rider that would disqualify the policy as a contract of life insurance under the Code. If the policy is not issued as a modified endowment contract, terminating this rider may result in the policy becoming a modified endowment contract, see Taxes.
This Rider also terminates upon the earliest of the following dates:
the date the base policy is surrendered or terminated;
the date the base policy Lapses;
the Insured's death; or
the date the Insured reaches Attained Age 100.
There is no Cash Value attributable to this Rider. Therefore, there is no Cash Surrender Value attributable to this Rider available upon termination of this Rider.
In most instances, terminating the Rider will not be to the policy owner's advantage. A decision to terminate this Rider should be discussed with a registered representative or a qualified financial advisor.

Policy Owner Services
Nationwide® Guided Portfolio Strategies
The Nationwide Guided Portfolio Strategies (GPS) are static allocation strategies comprised of two or more underlying mutual funds that together provide a unique allocation mix not available as a single underlying mutual fund. Policy owners that elect a GPS directly own Sub-Account units of the underlying mutual funds that comprise the particular portfolio elected. In other words, a GPS is not a portfolio of underlying mutual funds with one Accumulation Unit value, but rather, direct investment in certain Sub-Accounts based upon a preset allocation. There is no additional charge associated with choosing a GPS.
GPS portfolios are available under the policy at the time of application and can be added after the Policy Date by contacting the Service Center. The policy owner may elect only one GPS portfolio and the total allocation to that portfolio must equal 100%.
A GPS is a static allocation strategy. In other words, the allocations or "split" between the underlying Sub-Accounts is not monitored or adjusted to reflect changing market conditions. As such, Nationwide will not automatically rebalance Cash Value allocated to a GPS portfolio to ensure that the assets remain allocated to the underlying Sub-Accounts in the same proportion that they were allocated at the time of election. Further, Nationwide will not automatically rebalance, or otherwise modify the policy owner's allocations to the underlying Sub-Accounts to reflect changes in the GPS portfolio split or changes in available Sub-Accounts subsequent to the policy owner's original GPS election.
Nationwide is not providing investment advice by providing GPS. The policy owner may elect to transfer out among the Sub-Accounts at any time subject to the terms of this prospectus. For additional information about the Sub-Accounts that comprise a GPS, see Appendix A: Underlying Mutual Fund Information.
Policy Loans
After the expiration of the right to cancel period and while the policy is In Force, a policy owner may take a policy loan. A policy loan will be effective as of the date Nationwide receives the policy owner's written request at the Service Center. Nationwide reserves the right to require written requests to be submitted on current Nationwide forms.
Taking a policy loan may increase the risk of Lapse and may result in adverse tax consequences. Unpaid loan interest charges accrue daily at a compounded annual interest rate and can cause the policy's Indebtedness to grow significantly. The policy owner should request an illustration demonstrating the impact of a policy loan on the policy's Cash Value, Cash Surrender Value, and Death Benefit Proceeds.
Loan Amount
The minimum loan amount is $500. At the time of a loan request, policy Indebtedness cannot exceed 90% of the Cash Value (i.e., the sum of existing Indebtedness and the loan request cannot exceed 90% of the Cash Value as of the loan date). Any applicable Enhancement Benefit is not available to be taken as a policy loan. Nationwide pays the policy loan to the policy owner with assets from its general account. Nationwide then uses the policy's Cash Value as collateral for the loan as described below.
Collateral and the Policy Loan Account
As collateral for the policy loan, Nationwide transfers an amount equal to the policy loan from the policy's investment options. Collateral amounts are transferred from the Cash Value to the policy loan account (which is part of Nationwide's general account). Because the policy loan account does not participate in the Investment Experience of the Sub-Accounts, policy loans can permanently affect the Death Benefit Proceeds and the Cash Value of the policy, even if repaid. The policy loan account may be subject to Nationwide's creditors in the event of insolvency.
Amounts transferred from the policy's Cash Value equal to the policy loan account are deducted from the Sub-Accounts in the same proportion as the Sub-Account allocations, unless the policy owner has instructed otherwise. Nationwide will only transfer amounts from the Fixed Account if the loan amount exceeds 90% of the Cash Value allocated to the Sub-Accounts.
39

 


The policy owner will earn interest on the collateral held in the policy loan account. Interest will accrue daily at no less than the guaranteed minimum rate stated on the Policy Data Pages. Interest credited to the policy loan account is an obligation of Nationwide’s general account and is dependent on Nationwide’s financial strength and claims paying ability. The interest earned on the policy loan account may be different than the rate earned on Cash Value allocated to the Fixed Account.
Interest Charged
Nationwide charges interest against policy Indebtedness. Indebtedness is the total amount of all outstanding policy loans, including principal and compounded interest due. The interest rate charged on Indebtedness depends in part on the policy components selected. The maximum interest rate Nationwide may charge against Indebtedness is 3.50% per annum, see In Summary: Fee Tables for current interest charged rates. Rates may change and may vary by policy year. The current effective annual interest rate charged on Indebtedness is 2.80% for policy years one through 15, 2.55% for policy years 16 through 30, and 2.10% thereafter. Policy loan interest charges may provide revenue for risk charges and profit.
If policy loan interest is not paid when due, policy Indebtedness will continue to compound at the interest rate in effect, see When Interest is Charged and Credited below. If not paid when due, Nationwide will transfer an amount equal to the unpaid interest from the policy's investment options and add it to the policy loan account causing the original policy loan amount (now, "Indebtedness") to increase by the amount of the unpaid interest charged. Amounts transferred from the policy's investment options as unpaid interest charges will be transferred to the policy loan account in the same manner as a new loan.
Note: Over time, unpaid loan interest charges can cause the policy's Indebtedness to be significant. In some cases, policy Indebtedness may be significant enough to cause the policy to Lapse. In general, it is advantageous to repay Indebtedness and at a minimum, the interest charged on Indebtedness, at least annually.
Upon a full surrender, Lapse, or maturity, the amount received in the original loan request(s), plus unpaid loan interest charged is considered "received" under the Code and may result in adverse tax consequences, see Surrender, Lapse, Maturity in Taxes.
When Interest is Charged and Credited
Interest charged against Indebtedness accrues daily. Interest earned on collateral also accrues daily. Nationwide will transfer interest charged on Indebtedness from the policy's investment options to the collateral account, and transfer interest credited on collateral from the policy loan account to the investment options:
Annually, at the end of a policy year;
At the time a new loan is requested;
When a loan repayment is made;
Upon the Insured's death;
Upon policy Lapse and/or;
Upon a full surrender of the policy.
In most cases, the interest earned on collateral will be less and in some cases, significantly less, than the interest charged against the Indebtedness.
Repayment
The policy owner may repay all or part of policy Indebtedness at any time while the policy is In Force. The minimum loan repayment amount, if any, is stated in the policy. The policy owner should contact the Service Center to obtain loan pay-off amounts.
Note: Interest earned on collateral is not deducted from Indebtedness to calculate loan pay off amounts. If a loan repayment is made, the policy owner's Cash Value is credited with interest earned on collateral and the amount of the loan repayment is deducted from the policy's Indebtedness.
40

 


Nationwide will treat any payments made as Premium payments, unless the policy owner specifies that the payment should be applied against the policy's Indebtedness. It may be beneficial for the policy owner to repay Indebtedness before making additional Premium payments because Premium Load charges are deducted from Premium payments but not from loan repayments.
If the policy owner makes a loan repayment, it will be applied to the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account in accordance with the allocation instructions in effect at the time the payment is received, unless the policy owner indicates otherwise.
Repaying Indebtedness will cause the Death Benefit and net Cash Surrender Value to increase accordingly.
Lapse
The policy is at risk of Lapsing when the Cash Surrender Value is insufficient to cover the policy’s monthly deductions, see Unfavorable Investment Experience. Before any policy Lapse, there is a Grace Period during which the policy owner can take action to prevent the Lapse. Subject to certain conditions, the policy owner may reinstate a policy that has Lapsed.
Grace Period
If the Cash Surrender Value on any monthly anniversary date is not sufficient to cover the current monthly deductions, then a Grace Period will begin. At the beginning of a grace Period, the policy owner will receive a notice from Nationwide that will indicate the amount of Premium that must be paid to avoid lapsing the Policy. This amount is equal toat least four times the current monthly deductions.
If not paid within 61 days, the policy and all Riders will Lapse.
The Grace Period will not alter the operation of the policy or the payment of Proceeds.
Reinstatement
The policy owner may reinstate a Lapsed policy by:
submitting a written request to reinstate the policy to the Service Center any time within three years after the end of the Grace Period (or longer if required by state law) and before the Maturity Date;
providing satisfactory evidence of insurability that Nationwide may require;
paying sufficient Premium to keep the policy In Force for three months (or less if required by state law) from the date of reinstatement;
paying sufficient Premium to cover all policy charges that were due and unpaid during the Grace Period; and
repaying or reinstating any Indebtedness that existed at the end of the Grace Period.
The policy owner may also reinstate coverage under certain Riders subject to satisfactory evidence of insurability.
If Nationwide approves the application for reinstatement and receives the required Premium, the effective date of a reinstated policy, including any reinstated Riders, will be the coinciding or next monthly anniversary of the Policy Date following the date Nationwide approves the application for reinstatement.
If the policy is reinstated, the Cash Value on the date of reinstatement will be set equal to the Cash Value at the end of the most recent Grace Period. Nationwide will add any Premiums or loan repayments that were made to reinstate the policy to the Cash Value.
The Sub-Account allocations that were in effect at the start of the Grace Period will be reinstated, unless the policy owner indicates otherwise.
Surrenders
Full Surrender
The policy may be surrendered for the Cash Surrender Value at any time while it is In Force. A surrender will be effective as of the date Nationwide receives the policy owner’s written surrender request at the Service Center. Nationwide reserves the right to require written requests to be submitted on current Nationwide forms. Any applicable surrender charges will be deducted from the policy’s Cash Value, see Surrender Charge. No Enhancement Benefit will be paid if a policy is surrendered pursuant to Section 1035 of the Code. See Payment of Policy Proceeds for additional information.
41

 


Partial Surrender
The policy owner may request, in writing to the Service Center, a partial surrender of the policy's Cash Surrender Value at any time after the policy has been In Force for one year. Nationwide may require that the policy owner send the policy to it for endorsement.
Nationwide reserves the right to limit the number of partial surrenders to one per policy year. The minimum amount of any partial surrender request is $500; the maximum amount of a partial surrender is the Cash Value less the greater of $500 or the amount equal to three months of policy charges. Any applicable Enhancement Benefit is not available to be taken as a partial surrender. A partial surrender cannot cause the Total Specified Amount to be reduced below the minimum Total Specified Amount indicated on the Policy Data Page, and after any partial surrender, the policy must continue to qualify as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Code. Partial surrenders may be subject to income tax penalties. They could also cause your policy to become a "modified endowment contract" under the Code, which could change the income tax treatment of any distribution from the policy. Nationwide reserves the right to postpone payment of that portion of the partial surrender attributable to the Fixed Account for up to six months.
If the policy owner requests a partial surrender, Nationwide will surrender Accumulation Units from the Sub-Accounts proportionally based on the current assets allocated to each Sub-Account to equal the amount of the partial surrender. If there are insufficient Accumulation Units available, Nationwide will surrender amounts from the Fixed Account.
Reduction of the Total Specified Amount due to a Partial Surrender
When a partial surrender is taken, the Total Specified Amount is reduced to prevent an increase in the Net Amount At Risk, unless the partial surrender is a preferred partial surrender. Preferred partial surrenders and how they are applied to a reduction in Total Specified Amount are described in more detail below. Reduction of Total Specified Amount is proportional between elected Base Policy Specified Amount and Rider Specified Amount.
The policy's charges going forward will be based on the new Total Specified Amount. Any reduction of the Total Specified Amount will be made in the following order: against the most recent increase in the Total Specified Amount, then against the next most recent increases in the Total Specified Amount in succession, and finally, against the initial Total Specified Amount.
Nationwide will not reduce the Total Specified Amount on any portion of the total partial surrender that is a preferred partial surrender. For preferred partial surrenders, the Total Specified Amount is reduced by an amount that is no more than the difference between the total partial surrender and any portion that is a preferred partial surrender. A preferred partial surrender is a partial surrender that:
occurs before the 15th anniversary of the Policy Date; and
when added to any prior preferred policy surrenders taken in same policy year, does not exceed 10% of the Enhanced Cash Value as of the beginning of that policy year.
Normally, Nationwide will pay the surrender amount within 30 days after receiving the policy owner's written request to the Service Center. Nationwide reserves the right to delay payment of the Cash Surrender Value arising from the Fixed Account for six months. Generally, if the policy has a Cash Surrender Value in excess of the Premiums paid, the excess upon surrender will be included as income for federal income tax purposes.
The Death Benefit
Calculation of the Death Benefit
The Death Benefit will be calculated when Nationwide has received (at the Service Center) all information required to process the claim for Death Benefit Proceeds, including, but not limited to, proof that the Insured has died and any other information Nationwide may reasonably require. The Death Benefit may be subject to an adjustment if an error or misstatement was made upon application, or if the Insured dies by suicide.
While the policy is In Force, the Death Benefit will never be less than the Base Policy Specified Amount. The Death Benefit will depend on the death benefit option elected, certain Riders, and the tax test elected as discussed in greater detail below. The Death Benefit may vary with the Cash Value of the policy, which is affected by Investment Experience, Indebtedness, and any due and unpaid monthly deductions that accrued during a Grace Period.
42

 


The Proceeds payable upon the death of the Insured are equal to the Death Benefit reduced by policy Indebtedness and unpaid charges and increased by any insurance provided by Riders. Also, policies to which an "Enhancement Benefit" is available as of the time the Proceeds become payable may receive an additional payment, see Enhancement Benefit.
Death Benefit Options
Policy owners have a choice of one of three available death benefit options under the policy. If a death benefit option is not selected, Nationwide will issue the policy with Death Benefit Option 1. Not all death benefit options are available in all states.
Death Benefit Option 1
The Death Benefit is the greater of the Total Specified Amount or the Minimum Required Death Benefit on the Insured's date of death. Death Benefit Option 1 provides a stated amount of Death Benefit coverage that generally remains static throughout the life of the policy. Typically, Death Benefit Option 1 is elected by policy owners who are interested in maintaining a pre-determined amount of life insurance coverage.
Death Benefit Option 2
The Death Benefit is the greater of the Total Specified Amount plus the Enhanced Cash Value as of the Insured's date of death, or the Minimum Required Death Benefit on the Insured's date of death. Death Benefit Option 2 provides a stated amount of Death Benefit coverage in addition to the policy's Cash Value. Typically, Death Benefit Option 2 is elected by policy owners who are interested in accumulation of Cash Value in addition to a pre-determined amount of life insurance coverage.
Death Benefit Option 3
The Death Benefit is the greater of the Total Specified Amount plus the accumulated premium account (which consists of all Premium payments, plus interest, minus all partial surrenders as of the Insured's date of death, subject to applicable maximums), or the Minimum Required Death Benefit on the Insured's date of death. Death Benefit Option 3 provides a stated amount of Death Benefit coverage plus a return of accumulated Premium and potential interest. Typically, Death Benefit Option 3 is elected by policy owners who are interested in a policy that provides a pre-determined amount of life insurance coverage, while also providing a return of Premium. The return of Premium component may be advantageous to corporate policy owners who have a need to off-set or account for a corporate liability.
In deciding which death benefit option to elect, the policy owner should consult with a registered representative about the costs and advantages and/or disadvantages of each option. Additionally, the policy owner should request and review policy illustrations representing each option. For policies in which an Enhancement Benefit is available at the time the Death Benefit Proceeds become payable, an additional benefit may be paid, see Enhancement Benefit.
Changes in the Death Benefit Option
After the first policy year, a policy owner may elect to change the death benefit option from either Death Benefit Option 1 to Death Benefit Option 2, or from Death Benefit Option 2 to Death Benefit Option 1. A policy owner may not change to Death Benefit Option 3. However, a policy owner may change from Death Benefit Option 3 to Death Benefit Option 1 or Death Benefit Option 2. Nationwide will permit only one change of the death benefit option per policy year. The effective date of a change will be the monthly anniversary of the Policy Date following the date Nationwide approves the change.
For any change in the death benefit option to become effective, the Cash Surrender Value must be sufficient to keep the policy In Force for at least three months after the change.
Upon effecting a death benefit option change, the Total Specified Amount may be changed (either increased or decreased) so that the Net Amount At Risk is the same before the change and after the change on the date of the change. Because the policy's Net Amount At Risk remains the same before and after the change, changing the death benefit option and preserving the Net Amount At Risk by itself does not alter the policy charges. The policy charges going forward will be based on the adjusted Total Specified Amount. Depending on changes in factors such as fluctuations in the policy's Cash Value, these charges may increase or decrease after the death benefit option change.
The policy owner should request an illustration demonstrating the impact of a change in the policy's death benefit option.
Nationwide will refuse a death benefit option change that would reduce the Total Specified Amount to a level where the Premium already paid would exceed any premium limitations under the Code.
43

 


The Minimum Required Death Benefit
The policy has a Minimum Required Death Benefit. The Minimum Required Death Benefit is the lowest Death Benefit that will qualify the policy as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Code.
The tax tests for life insurance generally require that the policy have a significant element of life insurance and not be primarily an investment vehicle. At the time the policy is issued, the policy owner irrevocably elects one of the following tests to qualify the policy as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Code:
the cash value accumulation test; or
the guideline premium/cash value corridor test.
If a specific test is not elected, Nationwide will issue the policy with the cash value accumulation test.
Cash Value Accumulation Test
The cash value accumulation test determines the Minimum Required Death Benefit by multiplying the Enhanced Cash Value by a percentage calculated as described in the Code. The percentages depend upon the Insured's age, sex (if not unisex classified) and underwriting classification. Under the cash value accumulation test, there is no limit to the amount that may be paid in Premiums as long as there is sufficient Death Benefit in relation to the Cash Value at all times.
Guideline Premium/Cash Value Corridor Test
The guideline premium/cash value corridor test determines the Minimum Required Death Benefit by comparing the Death Benefit to an applicable percentage of the Enhanced Cash Value. These percentages are set out in the Code, but the percentage varies only by the Attained Age of the Insured.
In deciding which test to elect for the policy, consider the following:
The cash value accumulation test generally allows flexibility to pay more Premium, subject to Nationwide's approval of any increase in the policy's Net Amount At Risk that would result from higher Premium payments. Premium payments under the guideline premium/cash value corridor test are limited by Section 7702 of the Code.
Generally, the guideline premium/cash value corridor test produces a higher Death Benefit in the early years of the policy while the cash value accumulation test produces a higher Death Benefit in the policy's later years.
Monthly cost of insurance charges that vary with the amount of the Death Benefit may be greater during the years when the elected test produces a higher Death Benefit.
Regardless of which test is elected, Nationwide will monitor compliance to ensure that the policy meets the statutory definition of life insurance under the Code. As a result, the Proceeds payable under a policy should be excludable from gross income of the beneficiary for federal income tax purposes. Nationwide may refuse additional Premium payments or return Premium payments so that the policy continues to meet the Code's definition of life insurance. Consult a qualified tax advisor on all tax matters involving the policy.
Maximum Death Benefit
Nationwide may limit the Death Benefit to the maximum shown on the Policy Data Page. The maximum Death Benefit represents the highest amount Nationwide will pay under the policy. Nationwide limits the Death Benefit in situations where it is unable or unwilling to accept any additional liability for providing insurance coverage under the policy. Currently, for Death Benefit Options 1 and 2, the Maximum Death Benefit is equal to the sum of the Cash Value and the lesser of (i) 200% of the Total Specified Amount on the Policy Date and (ii) $8,000,000. For Death Benefit Option 3, the maximum Death Benefit is equal to the lesser of (i) 200% of the Total Specified Amount on the Policy Date plus the lesser of (a) the Death Benefit Option 3 maximum increase and (b) the accumulated premium account; and (ii) the sum of the Cash Value and $8,000,000.00.
For each Valuation Period and upon the death of the Insured, Nationwide will determine whether the policy's Cash Value would cause the Death Benefit to be greater than the Maximum Death Benefit. If the Death Benefit would exceed the Maximum Death Benefit, a partial surrender will be processed from the policy to lower the Cash Value. The partial surrender will be for an amount necessary to lower the Cash Value to a level that would result in the Death Benefit not exceeding the sum of the Cash Value and the lesser of (i) 180% of the Total Specified Amount on the Policy Date and (ii) $7,200,000.00. The partial surrender will subsequently reduce the Cash Value and Total Specified Amount. If the
44

 


Supplemental Insurance Rider was elected, the Rider Specified Amount and the Base Policy Specified Amount will be proportionally reduced. A partial surrender of this nature will ultimately reduce total policy charges because of the decreased Total Specified Amount (decreased coverage results in lower charges).
If the policy owner elected Death Benefit Option 3 and the accumulated premium account is greater than the Cash Value, Nationwide may reduce the amount previously credited to the accumulated premium account to an amount equal to 90% of the Cash Value immediately before the reduction. For example, if the Cash Value is $100 and the accumulated premium account is $102, Nationwide would reduce the accumulated premium account by $12 to $90 (i.e., 90% of the Cash Value). The accumulated premium account will not become less than zero because of the reduction. Nationwide will notify the policy owner in writing of any reduction in the accumulated premium account within 30 days of the reduction.
The partial surrender will be deducted proportionally from the Sub-Account allocations and the Fixed Account. No Partial Surrender Fee will be assessed on the partial surrender. The partial surrender will be paid to the policy owner via check and will be accompanied by a transaction confirmation statement within 30 days of such occurrence. Partial surrenders may result in adverse tax consequences. Taxes arising from the partial surrender, if any, are the sole responsibility of the policy owner. The policy owner is encouraged to consult a tax advisor regarding tax implications of receiving a pre-death distribution prior to the purchase of this policy.
The Maximum Death Benefit may, under certain circumstances, curtail the flexibility that the policy affords the policy owner. For example, the policy's Cash Value may increase at a rate that outpaces the ratio of Cash Value to life insurance permitted under the Code. In some instances, this situation may be addressed by increasing the Total Specified Amount of insurance so that the policy's ratio of Cash Value to life insurance is readjusted to comply with the Code definition. If, however, an increase in the Total Specified Amount would cause the Death Benefit to exceed the Maximum Death Benefit, then this method of achieving compliance with the Code definition of life insurance may not be available.
Nationwide may increase the policy's Maximum Death Benefit if doing so would not be unfairly discriminatory or prohibited by state law. If the policy's Maximum Death Benefit is increased, Nationwide will reissue the Policy Data Page with the revised Maximum Death Benefit.
Incontestability
Nationwide will not contest payment of the Death Benefit based on the initial Total Specified Amount after the policy has been In Force during the Insured's lifetime for two years from the Policy Date, and, in some states, within two years from a reinstatement date. For any change in Total Specified Amount requiring evidence of insurability, Nationwide will not contest payment of the Death Benefit based on such increase after it has been In Force during the Insured's lifetime for two years from its effective date, and, in some states, within two years from a subsequent reinstatement date. The incontestability period in some states may be less than two years.
Nationwide will not contest a policy after a change in the Insured pursuant to the Change of Insured Rider after it has been In Force during the new Insured's lifetime for two years from the Change Date, and in some states, within two years from a reinstatement date. The incontestability period in some states may be less than two years.
Suicide
If the Insured dies by suicide within two years from the Policy Date, and, in some states, within two years of a reinstatement date, Nationwide will pay no more than the sum of the Premiums paid, less any Indebtedness, and less any partial surrenders. Similarly, if the Insured dies by suicide within two years from the date an application for an increase in the Total Specified Amount was accepted by Nationwide, and, in some states, within two years from a subsequent reinstatement date, Nationwide will pay no more than the Death Benefit Proceeds associated with insurance that has been In Force for at least two years from the Policy Date, plus the Cost of Insurance Charges associated with any increase in Total Specified Amount that has been In Force for a shorter period. The suicide period in some states may be less than two years.
If the Insured dies by suicide, while sane or insane, within two years from the effective date of a change of Insured (pursuant to the terms of the Change of Insured Rider, if elected and invoked), Nationwide will pay no more than the Cash Value as of the Change Date, plus any Premium paid since such date, less any Indebtedness, and less any partial surrenders.
45

 


If the policy was issued pursuant to an exchange under Section 1035 of the Code, and the Insured dies by suicide within two years of the Policy Date, Nationwide will pay a Death Benefit equal to the lesser of: (a) the amount of insurance under the exchanged policy as of the Policy Date; or (b) the Total Specified Amount of this policy. This provision only applies if the exchanged policy was originally issued more than two years prior to the Policy Date of this policy.
Policy Maturity
If the policy is In Force on the Maturity Date, coverage will automatically be extended until the Insured's date of death, unless otherwise elected by the policy owner, see Extending Coverage Beyond the Maturity Date.
If the policy owner elects not to extend coverage beyond the Maturity Date, Nationwide will pay the Proceeds generally within seven days after the written request for payment is received at the Service Center. Nationwide may postpone payment of the Proceeds on the days that it is unable to price Accumulation Units, see Valuation of Accumulation Units. The Proceeds will equal the policy's Cash Value minus any Indebtedness. The policy is terminated once the Proceeds are paid.
The primary purpose of Maturity Date coverage extension is to continue the life insurance coverage, and avoid current income taxes on any earnings in excess of the cost basis if the maturity Proceeds are taken, see Taxes, Surrendering the Policy; Maturity.
Assuming no Indebtedness exists on the Maturity Date and that no partial surrenders or loans are taken after the Maturity Date, the Proceeds after the Maturity Date will equal or exceed the Proceeds on the Maturity Date. However, because the loan interest rate charged may be greater than loan interest credited, if Indebtedness on or after the Maturity Date exists, Proceeds after the Maturity Date may be less than the Proceeds on the Maturity Date.
Extending Coverage Beyond the Maturity Date
After the Maturity Date, the policy will operate the same as it did prior to the Maturity Date except as follows:
the Total Specified Amount will be changed to the Cash Value on the Maturity Date and increases or decreases to the Total Specified Amount will not be permitted;
Death Benefit Option 2 and Death Benefit Option 3 will be changed to Death Benefit Option 1 where the Total Specified Amount equals the Cash Value;
100% of the policy's Cash Value will be permanently transferred to the Fixed Account;
no additional Premium payments will be permitted;
no additional monthly periodic policy charges will be deducted;
loans, loan repayments and partial surrenders will continue to be permitted;
loan interest will continue to be charged on Indebtedness; and
the extension of coverage beyond the Maturity Date will not occur when the policy would fail the definition of life insurance under the Code.
This policy may not qualify as life insurance under federal tax law after the Maturity Date. Extending coverage beyond the Maturity Date may not provide more favorable tax treatment than otherwise applicable to the maturity Proceeds. If the policy owner does not elect to receive the maturity Proceeds on the Maturity Date, coverage will automatically be extended. The policy owner should consult with a qualified tax advisor before coverage is extended beyond the Maturity Date.
Note: If the Supplemental Insurance Rider is in effect, the Maturity Date coverage with respect to the Rider Specified Amount will not be extended.
Payment of Policy Proceeds
Normally, Nationwide will make a lump sum payment of the Proceeds within seven days after the written request for payment is received at the Service Center. However, Nationwide may postpone payment of the Proceeds from:
the general account options for up to six months;
on the days that it is unable to price Sub-Account Accumulation Units, see Valuation of Accumulation Units; and/or
46

 


as permitted or required by federal securities laws and rules and regulations of the SEC.
Death Benefit Proceeds are paid from Nationwide’s general account. For payout options other than lump sum, Nationwide will issue a settlement contract in exchange for the policy, see Policy Settlement Options.
Treatment of Unclaimed Property
Every state has unclaimed property laws which generally declare life insurance policies to be abandoned after a period of inactivity of three to five years from the policy Maturity Date or the date Nationwide becomes informed that a Death Benefit is due and payable. For example, if the payment of a Death Benefit has been triggered, but, if after a thorough search, Nationwide is 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 surrendered and placed in a non-interest bearing account. While in the non-interest bearing account, Nationwide will continue to perform due diligence required by state law. Once the state mandated period has expired, Nationwide will escheat the Death Benefit to the abandoned property division or unclaimed property office of the state in which the beneficiary or the policy owner last resided, as shown on Nationwide’s books and records, or to Ohio, Nationwide’s state of domicile. If a claim is subsequently made, the state is obligated to pay any such amount (without interest) to the designated recipient upon presentation of proper documentation.
To prevent escheatment, it is important to update beneficiary designations - including complete names, complete addresses, phone numbers, and social security numbers - as they change. Such updates should be sent to the Service Center.
Payments to Minors
Nationwide will not make payments directly to minors. Contact a legal advisor for options to facilitate payment of Policy Proceeds intended for a minor’s benefit.
Taxes
The tax treatment of life insurance policies under the Internal Revenue Code ("Code") is complex and the tax treatment of the policy will depend on the policy owner's circumstances. The policy owner should seek competent tax advice regarding the tax treatment of the policy given their situation. The following discussion provides a general overview of the Code's provisions relating to certain common life insurance policy transactions. Some of the items discussed below may not be applicable to the life insurance policy described herein. It is not and cannot be comprehensive, and it cannot replace personalized advice provided by a competent tax professional.
Types of Taxes
Federal Income Tax
Generally, the United States assesses a tax on income, which is broadly defined to include all items of income from whatever source, unless specifically excluded. Certain expenditures can reduce income for tax purposes and correspondingly the amount of tax payable. These expenditures are called deductions. While there are many more income tax concepts under the Code, the concepts of "income" and "deduction" are the most fundamental to the federal income tax treatment that pertains to this policy.
State and Local Taxes
State and local estate, inheritance, income and other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of policy proceeds depend on the circumstances of each policy owner or beneficiary. While these taxes may or may not be substantial in every policy owner's case, state by state differences of these taxes preclude a useful description of them in this prospectus.
Buying the Policy
Federal Income Tax
Generally, the Code treats life insurance premiums as a nondeductible expense for income tax purposes.
47

 


Investment Gain in the Policy
The income tax treatment of changes in the policy's cash value depends on whether the policy is "life insurance" under the Code. If the policy meets the definition of life insurance, then the increase in the policy's cash value is not included in the policy owner's taxable income for federal income tax purposes unless it is distributed to the policy owner before the death of the insured.
To qualify as life insurance, the policy must meet certain tests set out in Section 7702 of the Code. Nationwide will monitor the policy's compliance with Code Section 7702, and take whatever steps are necessary to stay in compliance.
Diversification
In addition to meeting the tests required under Section 7702, Section 817(h) of the Code requires that the investments of the separate account be adequately diversified. Regulations under Code Section 817(h) provide that a variable life policy that fails to satisfy the diversification standards will not be treated as life insurance unless such failure was inadvertent, is corrected, and the policy owner or the issuer pays an amount to the IRS. If the failure to diversify is not corrected, the income and gain in the policy would be treated as taxable ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.
Nationwide will also monitor compliance with Code Section 817(h) and the regulations applicable to Section 817(h) and, to the extent necessary, take appropriate action to remain in compliance.
Representatives of the IRS have informally suggested, from time to time, that the number of underlying investment options available or the number of transfer opportunities available under a variable insurance product may be relevant in determining whether the product qualifies for the desired tax treatment. In 2003, the IRS issued formal guidance, in Revenue Ruling 2003-91, that indicates that if the number of underlying investment options available in a variable insurance product does not exceed 20, the number of underlying investment options alone would not cause the policy to not qualify for the desired tax treatment. The IRS has also indicated that exceeding 20 underlying investment options may be considered a factor, along with other factors including the number of transfer opportunities available under the policy, when determining whether the policy qualifies for the desired tax treatment. The revenue ruling did not indicate the number of underlying investment options, if any, that would cause the policy to not provide the desired tax treatment. Should the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury issue additional rules or regulations limiting: the number of underlying investment options, transfers between underlying investment options, exchanges of underlying investment options or changes in the investment objectives of underlying investment options such that the policy would no longer qualify as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Code, Nationwide will take whatever steps are available to remain in compliance.
Based on the above, the policy should be treated as life insurance for federal income tax purposes.
Periodic Withdrawals, Non-Periodic Withdrawals and Loans
The tax treatment described in this section applies to withdrawals and loans, premiums Nationwide accepts but then returns to meet the Code's definition of life insurance, and amounts used to pay the premium on any rider to the policy.
The income tax treatment of distributions of cash from the policy depends on whether the policy is also a "modified endowment contract" under the Code. Generally, the income tax consequences of owning a life insurance policy that is not a modified endowment contract are more advantageous than the tax consequences of owning a life insurance policy that is a modified endowment contract.
The policies offered by this prospectus may or may not be issued as modified endowment contracts. If a policy is issued as a modified endowment contract, it will always be a modified endowment contract; a policy that is not issued as a modified endowment contract can become a modified endowment contract due to subsequent transactions with respect to the policy, such as payment of additional premiums. If the policy is not issued as a modified endowment contract, Nationwide will monitor it and advise the policy owner if the payment of a premium, or other transaction, may cause the policy to become a modified endowment contract. It is only with the policy owner's written authorization that Nationwide will permit the policy to become a modified endowment policy. Otherwise, Nationwide will reject the requested action or refund any Premium paid more than the modified endowment limits.
Depending on the policy owner's circumstances, the use of the cash value of the policy to pay for the cost of any rider added to the base policy, could be treated as a distribution, and would be subject to the rules described below. Policy owners should seek competent tax advice regarding the tax treatment of the addition of any rider to the policy, based on the policy owner's individual facts and circumstances.

In general, interest the policy owner pays on a loan from a policy will not be deductible. Also, if a loan from a policy that is not a MEC is outstanding when the policy is canceled or lapses, the amount of the outstanding indebtedness will be added to the amount distributed and will be taxed accordingly. Before taking out a policy loan, the policy owner should consult a tax advisor as to the tax consequences.
When the Policy is Life Insurance that is a Modified Endowment Contract
Section 7702A of the Code defines modified endowment contracts as those life insurance policies issued or materially changed on or after June 21, 1988 on which the total premiums paid at any time during the first 7 years exceed the amount that would have been paid if the policy provided for paid up benefits after 7 level annual premiums. Under certain conditions, a policy may become a modified endowment contract, or may become subject to a new 7 year testing period as a result of a "material change" or a "reduction in benefits" as defined by Section 7702A(c) of the Code.
All modified endowment contracts issued to the same owner by the same company during a single calendar year are required to be aggregated and treated as a single policy for purposes of determining the amount that is includible in income when a distribution occurs.
The Code provides special rules for the taxation of surrenders, partial surrenders, loans, collateral assignments, and other pre-death distributions from modified endowment contracts. Under these special rules, such transactions are taxable to the extent that at the time of the transaction the cash value of the policy exceeds the 'investment in the contract' (generally, the net Premiums paid for the policy). In addition, a 10% tax penalty generally applies to the taxable portion of such distributions unless the policy owner is over age 59½ or disabled, or the distribution is part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments as defined in the Code.
When the Policy is Life Insurance that is NOT a Modified Endowment Contract
If the policy is not issued as a modified endowment contract, Nationwide will monitor premiums paid and will notify the policy owner when the policy is in jeopardy of becoming a modified endowment contract.
Distributions from life insurance policies that are not modified endowment contracts generally are treated as being first from the investment in the contract, and then from the income in the policy. Because premium payments are generally nondeductible, distributions not in excess of investment in the contract are generally not includible in income; instead, they reduce the owner's investment in the contract.
However, if a policy is not a modified endowment contract, a cash distribution during the first 15 years after a policy is issued that causes a reduction in death benefits may still be fully or partially taxable to the policy owner pursuant to Section 7702(f)(7) of the Code. The policy owner should carefully consider this potential tax ramification and seek further information before requesting any changes in the terms of the policy.
Also, unlike a modified endowment contract, a loan from a life insurance policy that is not a modified endowment contract is not taxable when made, although it can be treated as a distribution if it is forgiven during the owner's lifetime. Distributions from policies that are not modified endowment contracts are not subject to the 10% early distribution penalty tax.
Surrender, Lapse, Maturity
A full surrender, cancellation of the policy by lapse, or the maturity of the policy on its maturity date may have adverse income tax consequences. If the amount received (or are deemed received upon maturity) plus total policy indebtedness exceeds the investment in the contract, then the excess generally will be treated as taxable ordinary income, regardless of whether or not the policy is a modified endowment contract. In certain circumstances, for example when the policy indebtedness is very large, the amount of tax could exceed the amount distributed to the policy owner at surrender.
The purpose of the maturity date extension feature is to permit the policy to continue to be treated as life insurance for tax purposes. Although Nationwide believes that the extension provision will cause the policy to continue to be treated as life insurance after the initially scheduled maturity date, that result is not certain due to a lack of specificity in the guidance on the issue. The policy owner should consult with a qualified tax advisor regarding the possible adverse tax consequences that could result from an extension of the scheduled maturity date.

Sale of a Life Insurance Policy
If a life insurance policy is sold for a gain, all or a portion of the gain will be treated as ordinary income. In Revenue Ruling 2009-13, the IRS concluded that the amount of gain realized from the sale of a life insurance policy is equal to the amount received (which can include relief from, or assumption of debt) over the owner's basis in the policy. The portion of the gain that is equal to the excess of the Cash Surrender Value over the investment in the policy would be treated as ordinary income; any additional gain would be short or long-term capital gain, depending on the holding period.
Section 6050Y, enacted by H.R. 1, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted on December 22, 2017, provides that for purposes of calculating gain on the sale of a life insurance policy, the owner’s basis in the life insurance policy is not adjusted for cost of insurance (COI) charges. This reverses the IRS’s position in Revenue Ruling 2009-13 that on the sale of a cash value life insurance policy, the seller’s basis in the policy is reduced by previously imposed COI charges.
Section 6050Y also provides special tax reporting requirements surrounding the post issue sale of a life insurance policy or the transfer of a life insurance policy to a foreign person. The provision would apply to the sale of a life insurance policy or the transfer of a life insurance policy to a foreign person that occurs on or after January 1, 2018.
Section 6050Y requires the buyer of a post issue life insurance policy purchased in a reportable policy sale to report information about the purchase to the IRS and the insurance company that issued the policy. A reportable policy sale is the direct or indirect acquisition of any interest in a life insurance policy where the buyer has no substantial family, business, or financial relationship with the insured apart from the buyer’s interest in the life insurance policy. The buyer is required to provide the following information: 1) the buyer’s name, address, and taxpayer identification number ("TIN"), 2) the name, address, and TIN of the payment recipient’s in the reportable policy sale, 3) the date of the sale, 4) the name of the issuer, and 5) the amount of each payment.
Upon receipt of the report from the buyer of a reportable policy sale or the receipt of any notice of a transfer of a life insurance policy to a foreign person, the issuer of the policy is required to report the following information: 1) the name, address, and TIN of the seller or transferor to a foreign person, 2) the basis or investment of the policy within the meaning of section 72(e)(6), and 3) the policy number of the policy.
Upon later payment of the death benefit proceeds under a policy that was transferred in a reportable policy sale, the issuer of the life insurance policy is required to report the following information about the payment of the death benefit proceeds to the IRS and to the recipient: 1) name, address, and TIN of the person making the payment, 2) name, address, and TIN of the recipient of the payment, 3) the date of the payment, 4) the gross amount of the payment, 5) the payor’s estimate of the buyer’s basis in the policy.
Section 6050Y also provides that the exceptions to the transfer for value rules are not available to the transfer of any interest in a life insurance policy that is a reportable policy sale. Therefore, some portion of the death benefit proceeds that will be payable under the policy could be taxable.
Exchanging the Policy for Another Life Insurance Policy
Generally, policy owners will be taxed on amounts received in excess of premium payments when the policy is surrendered in full. If, however, the policy is exchanged for another life insurance policy, modified endowment contract, or annuity contract, the transaction will not be taxed on the excess amount if the exchange meets the requirements of Code Section 1035. To meet Section 1035 requirements, the insured named in the policy must be the insured for the new policy. Generally, the new policy or contract will be treated as having the same issue date and tax basis as the old policy or contract.
If the policy or contract is subject to a policy indebtedness that is discharged as part of the exchange transaction, the discharge of the indebtedness may be taxable. Policy owners should consult with their personal tax or legal advisors in structuring any policy exchange transaction.
Taxation of Death Benefits
Federal Income Tax
The death benefit is generally excludable from the beneficiary's gross income under Section 101 of the Code. However, if the policy had been transferred to a new policy owner for valuable consideration (e.g., through a sale of the policy), a portion of the death benefit may be includible in the beneficiary's gross income when it is paid, (see, Sale of a Life Insurance Policy).
50

 


The payout option selected by the policy's beneficiary may affect how the payments received by the beneficiary are taxed. Under the various payout options, the amount payable to the beneficiary may include earnings on the death benefit, which will be taxable as ordinary income. For example, if the beneficiary elects to receive interest only, then the entire amount of the interest payment will be taxable to the beneficiary; if a periodic payment (whether for a fixed period or for life) is selected, then a portion of each payment will be taxable interest income, and a portion will be treated as the nontaxable payment of the death benefit. The policy's beneficiaries should consult with their tax advisors to determine the tax consequences of electing a payout option, based on their individual circumstances.
Special federal income tax considerations for life insurance policies owned by employers
Sections 101(j) and 6039I of the Code provide special rules regarding the tax treatment of death benefits that are payable under life insurance policies owned by the employer of the insured. These provisions are generally effective for life insurance policies issued after August 17, 2006. If a life insurance policy was issued on or before August 17, 2006, but materially modified after that date, it will be treated as having been issued after that date for purposes of Section 101(j). Policies issued after August 17, 2006 pursuant to a Section 1035 exchange generally are excluded from the operation of these provisions, provided that the policy received in the exchange does not have a material increase in death benefit or other material change with respect to the old policy.
Section 101(j) provides the general rule that, with respect to an employer-owned life insurance policy, the amount of death benefit payable directly or indirectly to the employer that may be excluded from income cannot exceed the sum of premiums and other payments paid by the policy owner for the policy. Consequently, under this general rule, the entire death benefit, less the cost to the policy owner, will be taxable. Although Section 101(j) is not clear, if lifetime distributions from the policy are made as a nontaxable return of premium, it appears that the reduction would apply for Section 101(j) purposes and reduce the amount of premiums for this purpose.
There are two exceptions to this general rule of taxability, provided that statutory notice, consent, and information requirements are satisfied. First, if proper notice and consent are given and received, and if the insured was an employee at any time during the 12-month period before the insured's death, then Section 101(j) would not apply.
Second, if proper notice and consent are given and received and, at the time that the policy is issued, the insured is either a director, a "highly compensated employee" (within the meaning of Section 414(q) of the Code without regard to paragraph (1)(B)(ii) thereof), or a "highly compensated individual" (within the meaning of Section 105(h)(5), except "35%" is substituted for "25%" in paragraph (C) thereof), then Section 101(j) would not apply.
Code Section 6039I requires any policy owner of an employer-owned policy to file an annual return showing (a) the number of employees of the policy owner, (b) the number of such employees insured under employee-owned policies at the end of the year, (c) the total amount of insurance in force with respect to those policies at the end of the year, (d) the name, address, taxpayer identification number and type of business of the policy owner, and (e) that the policy owner has a valid consent for each insured (or, if all consents are not obtained, the number of insured employees for whom such consent was not obtained). Proper recordkeeping is also required by this section.
It is the employer's responsibility to (a) provide the proper notice to each insured, (b) obtain the proper consent from each insured, (c) inform each insured in writing that the employer-owner will be the beneficiary of any proceeds payable upon the death of the insured, and (d) file the annual return required by Section 6039I. If the employer-owner fails to provide the necessary notice and information, or fails to obtain the necessary consent, the death benefit will be taxable when received. If the employer-owner fails to file a properly completed return under Section 6039I, a penalty may apply.
Special Considerations for Corporations
Section 264 of the Code imposes a number of limitations on the interest and other business deductions that may otherwise be available to businesses that own life insurance policies. In addition, the premium paid by a business for a life insurance policy is not deductible as a business expense or otherwise if the business is directly or indirectly a beneficiary of the policy.
For purposes of the alternative minimum tax ("AMT") that may be imposed on corporations, the death benefit from a life insurance policy, even though excluded from gross income for normal tax purposes, is included in "adjusted current earnings" for AMT purposes. In addition, although increases to the Cash Surrender Value of a life insurance policy are generally excluded from gross income for normal income tax purposes, such increases are included in adjusted current earnings for income tax purposes.
Due to the complexity of these rules, and because they are affected by the policy owner's facts and circumstances, the policy owner should consult with legal and tax counsel and other competent advisors regarding these matters.
51

 


Federal appellate and trial courts have examined the economic substance of transactions involving life insurance policies owned by corporations. These cases involved relatively large loans against the policy's cash value as well as tax deductions for the interest paid on the policy loans by the corporate policy owner to the insurance company. Under the particular factual circumstances in these cases, the courts determined that the corporate policy owners should not have taken tax deductions for the interest paid. Accordingly, the court determined that the corporations should have paid taxes on the amounts deducted. Corporations should consider, in consultation with tax advisors familiar with these matters, the impact of these decisions on the corporation's intended use of the policy.
Business Uses of the Policy
The life insurance policy may be used in various arrangements, including nonqualified deferred compensation or salary continuance plans, split dollar insurance plans, executive bonus plans, retiree medical benefit plans, and others. The tax consequences of these plans may vary depending on the particular facts and circumstances of each individual arrangement. Therefore, if the policy owner is contemplating using the policy in any arrangement the value of which depends in part on its tax consequences, the policy owner should be sure to consult a tax advisor as to tax attributes of the arrangement.
Non-Resident Aliens and Other Persons Who are Not Citizens of the United States
Special income tax laws and rules apply to non-resident aliens of the United States including certain withholding requirements with respect to pre-death distributions from the policy. In addition, foreign law may impose additional taxes on the policy, the death benefit, or other distributions and/or ownership of the policy.
In addition, special gift, estate and GSTT laws and rules may apply to non-resident aliens, and to transfers to persons who are not citizens of the United States, including limitations on the marital deduction if the surviving or done spouse is not a citizen of the United States.
If the policy owner is a non-resident alien, or a resident alien, or if any of the policy's beneficiaries (including the policy owner's spouse) are not citizens of the United States, the policy owner should confer with a competent tax advisor with respect to the tax treatment of this policy.
If the policy owner, the insured, the beneficiary, or other person receiving any benefit or interest in or from the policy, are not both a resident and citizen of the United States, there may be a tax imposed by a foreign country that is in addition to any tax imposed by the United States. The foreign law (including regulations, rulings, treaties with the United States, and case law) may change and impose additional or increased taxes on the policy, payment of the death benefit, or other distributions and/or ownership of the policy.
FATCA
Under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code (commonly referred to as FATCA), distributions from a policy to a foreign financial institution or to a nonfinancial foreign entity, each as described by FATCA, may be subject to United States tax withholding at a flat rate equal to 30% of the taxable amount of the distribution, irrespective of the status of any beneficial owner of the policy or of the distribution. Nationwide may require you to provide certain information or documentation (e.g., Form W-9 or Form W-8BEN) to determine its withholding requirements under FATCA.
Withholding and Tax Reporting
Distribution of taxable income from a life insurance policy, including a life insurance policy that is a modified endowment contract, is subject to federal income tax withholding. Generally, the recipient may elect not to have the withholding taken from the distribution. Nationwide will withhold income tax unless the policy owner advises Nationwide, in writing, of their request not to withhold. If the policy owner requests that taxes not be withheld, or if the taxes withheld are insufficient, the policy owner may be liable for payment of an estimated tax.
A policy owner is not permitted to waive withholding if the payee does not provide Nationwide with a taxpayer identification number; or if Nationwide receives notice from the Internal Revenue Service that the taxpayer identification number furnished by the payee is incorrect. In that instance, a distribution will be subject to withholding rates established by Section 3405 of the Code and will be applied against the amount of income that is distributed.
52

 


However, interest earned on a death benefit may be subject to mandatory back-up withholding. Mandatory backup withholding means that Nationwide is required to withhold taxes on income earned at the rate established by Section 3406 of the Code. Mandatory backup withholding may arise if Nationwide has not been provided a taxpayer identification number, or if the IRS notifies Nationwide that back-up withholding is required.
In certain employer-sponsored life insurance arrangements, participants may be required to report for income tax purposes, one or more of the following:
the value each year of the life insurance protection provided;
an amount equal to any employer-paid Premiums;
some or all of the amount by which the current value exceeds the employer's interest in the policy; and/or
interest that is deemed to have been forgiven on a loan that Nationwide deems to have been made by the employer.
Participants in an employer-sponsored plan relating to this policy should consult with the sponsor or the administrator of the plan, and/or with their personal tax or legal advisor to determine the tax consequences, if any, of their employer-sponsored life insurance arrangements.
Taxes and the Value of the Policy
For federal income tax purposes, a separate account is not a separate entity from the company. Thus, the tax status of the separate account is not distinct from our status as a life insurance company. Investment income and realized capital gains on the assets of the separate account are reinvested and taken into account in determining the value of Accumulation Units. As a result, such investment income and realized capital gains are automatically applied to increase reserves under the policies.
At present, Nationwide does not expect to incur any federal income tax liability that would be chargeable to the Accumulation Units. Based upon these expectations, no charge is being made against the policy's Accumulation Units for federal income taxes. If, however, Nationwide determines that taxes may be incurred, Nationwide reserves the right to assess a charge for these taxes.
Nationwide may also incur state and local taxes (in addition to those described in the discussion of the Premium Taxes) in several states. At present, these taxes are not significant. If they increase, however, charges for such taxes may be made that would decrease the value of the policy's Accumulation Units.
Tax Changes
The foregoing is a general discussion of various tax matters pertaining to life insurance policies. It is based on our understanding of federal tax laws as currently interpreted by the IRS, is general and is not intended as tax advice. The policy owner should consult their independent legal, tax and/or financial advisor.
The Code has been subjected to numerous amendments and changes, and it is reasonable to believe that it will continue to be revised. The United States Congress has, in the past, considered numerous legislative proposals that, if enacted, could change the tax treatment of life insurance policies. For example the "FY 2013, Budget of the United States Government" includes a proposal which, if enacted, would affect the treatment of corporate owned life insurance policies by limiting the availability of certain interest deductions for companies that purchase those policies. No proposed statutory language has been released yet, so the specifics of the proposal cannot be addressed herein. Such a proposal, if enacted, could have an adverse tax impact on the ownership of life insurance by or for the benefit of business entities. It is reasonable to believe that such proposals, and future proposals, may be enacted into law. The U.S. Treasury Department may amend existing regulations, issue new regulations, or adopt new interpretations of existing law that may differ from its current positions on these matters. In addition, current state law (which is not discussed herein) and future amendments to state law may affect the tax consequences of the policy.
Any or all of the foregoing may change from time to time without any notice, and the tax consequences arising out of a policy may be changed retroactively. There is no way of predicting if, when, or to what extent any such change may take place. Nationwide make no representation as to the likelihood of the continuation of these current laws, interpretations, and policies.

Nationwide Life Insurance Company
Nationwide, the depositor, is a stock life insurance company organized under Ohio law in March 1929, with its home office at One Nationwide Plaza, Columbus, Ohio 43215. Nationwide is a provider of life insurance, annuities, and retirement products. It is admitted to do business in all states, the District of Columbia, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico.
Nationwide is a member of the Nationwide group of companies. Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company and Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (the "Companies") are the ultimate controlling persons of the Nationwide group of companies. The Companies were organized under Ohio law in December 1925 and 1933 respectively. The Companies engage in a general insurance and reinsurance business, except life insurance.
Nationwide VLI Separate Account-4
Organization, Registration, and Operation
Nationwide VLI Separate Account-4 is a separate account established under Ohio law. Nationwide owns the assets in this account and is obligated to pay all benefits under the policies. Nationwide may use the separate account to support other variable life insurance policies that it issues. The separate account is registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") and qualifies as a "separate account" within the meaning of federal securities laws. For purposes of federal securities laws, the separate account is, and will remain, fully funded at all times. This registration does not involve the SEC's supervision of the separate account's management or investment practices or policies.
The separate account is divided into Sub-Accounts that invest in shares of the underlying mutual funds. Nationwide buys and sells the mutual fund shares at their respective NAV. Any dividends and distributions from a mutual fund are reinvested at NAV in shares of that mutual fund.
Income, gains, and losses, whether or not realized, from the assets in the separate account will be credited to, or charged against, the separate account without regard to Nationwide's other income, gains, or losses. Income, gains, and losses credited to, or charged against, a Sub-Account reflect the Sub-Account's own Investment Experience and not the investment experience of Nationwide's other assets. The separate account's assets are held separately from Nationwide’s other assets and are not part of Nationwide’s general account. Nationwide may not use the separate account's assets to pay any of its liabilities other than those arising from the policies. Nationwide will hold assets in the separate account equal to its liabilities. The separate account may include other Sub-Accounts that are not available under the policies, and are not discussed in this prospectus.
Nationwide does not guarantee any money placed in this separate account. The value of each Sub-Account will increase or decrease, depending on the Investment Experience of the corresponding mutual fund. A policy owner could lose some or all of their money.
Addition, Deletion, or Substitution of Mutual Funds
Where permitted by applicable law, Nationwide reserves the right to:
remove, close, combine, or add Sub-Accounts and make new Sub-Accounts available;
substitute shares of another mutual fund, which may have different fees and expenses, for shares of an existing mutual fund;
transfer assets supporting the policies from one Sub-Account to another, or from one separate account to another;
combine the separate account with other separate accounts, and/or create new separate accounts;
deregister the separate account under the 1940 Act, or operate the separate account or any Sub-Account as a management investment company under the 1940 Act or as any other form permitted by law; and
modify the policy provisions to reflect changes in the Sub-Accounts and the separate account to comply with applicable law.
Nationwide reserves the right to make other structural and operational changes affecting this separate account.
54

 


Nationwide will provide notice of any of the changes above. Also, to the extent required by law, Nationwide will obtain the required orders, approvals, and/or regulatory clearance from the appropriate government agencies (such as the various insurance regulators or the SEC). Also, to the extent required by state law, Nationwide will accept an irrevocable election from the policy owner to transfer 100% of the policy's Cash Value to the Fixed Account if received within 60 days after the date the policy owner received notification of a material change in the investment policy of the separate account.
Substitution of Securities
Nationwide may substitute, eliminate, or combine shares of another underlying mutual fund for shares already purchased or to be purchased in the future if either of the following occurs:
(1) shares of a current underlying mutual fund are no longer available for investment; or
(2) further investment in an underlying mutual fund is inappropriate.
Nationwide will not substitute shares of any underlying mutual fund in which the Sub-Accounts invest without any necessary prior approval of the appropriate state and/or federal regulatory authorities. All affected policy owners will be notified in the event there is a substitution, elimination, or combination of shares.
The substitute mutual fund may have different fees and expenses. Substitution may be made with respect to existing investments or the investment of future Premium, or both. Nationwide may close Sub-Accounts to allocations of Premiums or policy value, or both, at any time in its sole discretion. The mutual funds, which sell their shares to the Sub-Accounts pursuant to participation agreements, also may terminate these agreements and discontinue offering their shares to the Sub-Accounts.
Deregistration of the Separate Account
Nationwide may deregister Nationwide VLI Separate Account-4 under the 1940 Act in the event the separate account meets an exemption from registration under the 1940 Act, if there are no shareholders in the separate account or for any other purpose approved by the SEC.
All policy owners will be notified in the event Nationwide deregisters Nationwide VLI Separate Account-4.
Voting Rights
Although the separate account owns the mutual fund shares, policy owners are the beneficial owner of those shares. When a matter involving a mutual fund is subject to shareholder vote, unless there is a change in existing law, Nationwide will vote the separate account's shares only as instructed by policy owners.
When a shareholder vote occurs, a policy owner will have the right to instruct Nationwide how to vote. The weight of each vote is based on the number of mutual fund shares that corresponds to the amount of Cash Value a policy has allocated to that mutual fund's Sub-Account (as of a date set by the mutual fund). Nationwide will vote shares for which no instructions are received in the same proportion as those that are received. What this means is that when only a small number of policy owners vote, each vote has a greater impact on, and may control the outcome of the vote.
Material Conflicts
The underlying mutual funds may be offered through separate accounts of other insurance companies, as well as through other separate accounts of Nationwide. Nationwide does not anticipate any disadvantages to this. However, it is possible that a conflict may arise between the interests of the variable account and one or more of the other separate accounts in which these underlying mutual funds participate.
Material conflicts may occur due to a change in law affecting the operations of variable life insurance policies and variable annuity contracts, or differences in the voting instructions of the policy owners and those of other companies. If a material conflict occurs, Nationwide will take whatever steps are necessary to protect policy owners and variable annuity payees, including withdrawal of the separate account from participation in the underlying mutual fund(s) involved in the conflict.

Legal Proceedings
Nationwide Life Insurance Company
Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (NFS, or collectively with its subsidiaries, "the Company") was formed in November 1996. NFS is the holding company for Nationwide Life Insurance Company (NLIC), Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (NLAIC) and other companies that comprise the life insurance and retirement savings operations of the Nationwide group of companies (Nationwide). This group includes Nationwide Financial Network (NFN), an affiliated distribution network that markets directly to its customer base. NFS is incorporated in Delaware and maintains its principal executive offices in Columbus, Ohio.
The Company is subject to legal and regulatory proceedings in the ordinary course of its business. These include proceedings specific to the Company and proceedings generally applicable to business practices in the industries in which the Company operates. The outcomes of these proceedings cannot be predicted due to their complexity, scope, and many uncertainties. The Company believes, however, that based on currently known information, the ultimate outcome of all pending legal and regulatory proceedings is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position. The Company maintains Professional Liability Insurance and Director and Officer Liability insurance policies that may cover losses for certain legal and regulatory proceedings. The Company will make adequate provision for any probable and reasonably estimable recoveries under such policies.
The various businesses conducted by the Company are subject to oversight by numerous federal and state regulatory entities, including but not limited to the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the Department of Labor, the Internal Revenue Service, the Federal Reserve Bank and state insurance authorities. Such regulatory entities may, in the normal course, be engaged in general or targeted inquiries, examinations and investigations of the Company and/or its affiliates.

Base Policy Specified Amount – The amount of insurance coverage selected under the base policy, excluding any Rider Specified Amount.
Cash Surrender Value – The amount payable to the policy owner upon a full surrender of the policy. This amount is equal to the Enhanced Cash Value, minus Indebtedness and outstanding policy charges.
Cash Value – The total of amounts allocated to the Sub-Accounts, the policy loan account, and the Fixed Account.
Code – The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Death Benefit The amount paid upon the Insured's death, before the deduction of any Indebtedness, or due and unpaid policy charges.
Enhanced Cash Value The sum of the policy's Cash Value plus the Enhancement Benefit, if applicable.
Enhancement Benefit An additional amount added to the policy's Cash Value upon a full surrender of the policy during the applicable policy years, provided the qualifying conditions have been satisfied.
Excess Premium Any Premium applied to the policy that is not considered Target Premium.
Fixed Account – An investment option that is funded by Nationwide's general account.
Grace Period – A 61-day period after which the Policy will Lapse if sufficient payments are not made to prevent Lapse.
In Force Any time during which benefits are payable under the policy and any elected Rider(s).
Indebtedness – The total amount of all outstanding policy loans, including principal and interest due.

Net Amount At Risk The policy's base Death Benefit minus the policy's Cash Value.
Net Asset Value (NAV) – The price of each share of a mutual fund in which a Sub-Account invests.

Nationwide uses NAV to calculate the value of Accumulation Units. NAV does not reflect deductions made for charges taken from the Sub-Accounts.
Net Premium The amount of Premium applied to the policy after the deduction of the Percent of Premium Charge.
Policy Data Page(s) The Policy Data Page(s) contains more detailed information about the policy, some of which is unique to the policy owner, the beneficiary, and the Insured.

Sub-Account(s) The mechanism used to account for allocations of Net Premium and Cash Value among the policy's variable investment options.
Substandard Rating – An underwriting classification based on medical and/or non-medical factors used to determine what to charge for life insurance based on characteristics of the Insured beyond traditional factors for standard risks, which include age, sex, and tobacco habits of the Insured. Substandard Ratings are shown in the Policy Data Pages as rate class multiples (medical factors) and/or monthly flat extras (medical and/or non-medical factors). The higher the rate class multiple or monthly flat extra, the greater the risk assessed and the higher the cost of coverage.
Target Premium – The maximum amount of Premium the policy owner may pay to purchase Base Policy Specified Amount under Section 7702A of the Code and still have the policy treated as a life insurance contract for federal tax purposes. This is the maximum Premium that the policy owner may pay based on the "7-Pay method", which determines the limits on Premium payments in each of the first seven policy years. The actual amount is based on numerous factors which include the Issue Age of the Insured, Substandard Ratings (if any), and an adjustment for any Premium exchanged into the policy under Section 1035 of the Code.
Total Specified Amount – The sum of the Base Policy Specified Amount and the Rider Specified Amount, if applicable.
Valuation Period – The period during which Nationwide determines the change in the value of the Sub-Accounts. One Valuation Period ends and another begins with the close of trading on the NYSE.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

 


General Information and History
Nationwide VLI Separate Account-4 (the "Variable Account") is a separate investment account of Nationwide Life Insurance Company ("Nationwide"). Nationwide is a stock life insurance company organized the laws of the State of Ohio in March 1929 with its Home Office at One Nationwide Plaza, Columbus, Ohio 43215. Nationwide provides life insurance, annuities and retirement products. Nationwide is admitted to do business in all states, the District of Columbia, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. Nationwide is a member of the Nationwide group of companies and all of its common stock is owned by Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. ("NFS"), a holding company. Nationwide Corporation owns all of NFS's common stock and is a holding company, as well. All of Nationwide Corporation's common stock is held by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (95.2%) and Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (4.8%), the ultimate controlling persons of the Nationwide group of companies. The Nationwide group of companies is one of America's largest insurance and financial services family of companies, with combined assets of over $236 billion as of December 31, 2017.
Nationwide VLI Separate Account-4
Nationwide VLI Separate Account-4 is a separate account that invests in mutual funds offered and sold to insurance companies and certain retirement plans. Nationwide established the Variable Account on December 3, 1987 pursuant to Ohio law. Although the Variable Account is registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, the SEC does not supervise the management of Nationwide or the management of the Variable Account. Nationwide serves as the custodian of the assets of the Variable Account.
Nationwide Investment Services Corporation (NISC)
The policies are distributed by NISC, located at One Nationwide Plaza, Columbus, Ohio 43215, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nationwide. For policies issued in Michigan, all references to NISC will mean Nationwide Investment Svcs. Corporation. NISC was organized as an Oklahoma corporation in 1981.
The policies will be sold on a continuous basis by licensed insurance agents in those states where the policies may lawfully be sold. Agents are registered representatives of broker dealers registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 who are member firms of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
Nationwide paid no underwriting commissions to NISC for each of the separate account’s last three fiscal years.
Services
Nationwide or its affiliates provide services and incur expenses in promoting, marketing, or administrative services to the underlying funds. Nationwide or its affiliates have entered into agreements with the investment advisor and/or distributor for the underlying funds relating to the services Nationwide or its affiliates provide. For these services, some funds agree to pay mutual fund service fee payments based on the average aggregate net assets of the Variable Account (and other separate accounts of Nationwide or life insurance company subsidiaries of Nationwide) invested in the particular underlying fund.
These anticipated mutual fund service fee payments were taken into consideration when determining the expenses necessary to support the policies. Without these mutual fund service fee payments, policy charges would be higher. Generally, Nationwide expects to receive somewhere between 0.10% to 0.45% (an annualized rate of the daily net assets of the Variable Account) from the funds offered in the policies. What is actually received depends upon many factors, including but not limited to the type of fund (i.e., money market funds generally pay less mutual fund service fee payments than other fund types) and the types of services for which an underlying fund, or its distributor or advisor, pays mutual fund service fee payments.
Distribution, Promotional, and Sales Expenses
In addition to or partially in lieu of commission, Nationwide may pay the selling firms a marketing allowance, which is based on the firm's ability and demonstrated willingness to promote and market Nationwide's products. How any marketing allowance is spent is determined by the firm, but generally will be used to finance firm activities that may contribute to the promotion and marketing of Nationwide's products. Nationwide makes certain assumptions about the amount of marketing allowance it will pay and takes these assumptions into consideration when it determines the charges that will be assessed under the policies. Nationwide assumed 0.40% of the Commissionable Target Premium and
2

 


0.01333% of cash value beginning in the second policy year for marketing allowance when determining the charges for the contracts. The actual amount of the marketing allowance may be higher or lower than this assumption. If the actual amount of marketing allowance paid is more than what was assumed, Nationwide will fund the difference. If the actual amount of marketing allowance paid is less than what was assumed, Nationwide may use the excess to pay other sales expenses, non-sales expenses, and/or profit. For more information about marketing allowance or how a particular selling firm uses marketing allowances, consult with your registered representative.
Commissionable Target Premium (CTP) is an amount used in the calculation of the Premium Load and total compensation Nationwide pays. CTP is actuarially derived based on the Base Policy Specified Amount, the Insured’s characteristics and the death benefit option of the policy.
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The financial statements of Nationwide VLI Separate Account-4 and the consolidated financial statements and schedules of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and subsidiaries for the periods indicated have been included herein in reliance upon the reports of KPMG LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, appearing elsewhere herein, and upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing. KPMG LLP is located at 191 West Nationwide Blvd., Suite 500, Columbus, Ohio 43215.
Underwriting Procedure
Nationwide underwrites the policies issued through Nationwide VLI Separate Account-4. The policy's cost of insurance depends upon the Insured's issue age, underwriting class, length of time the policy has been In Force, and policy components selected. The rates will vary depending upon tobacco use and other risk factors. Monthly cost of insurance rates will not exceed those guaranteed in the policy.
For policies with applications dated before September 30, 2008, guaranteed cost of insurance rates for base coverage and coverage pursuant to the Supplemental Insurance Rider under policies issued on a non-medical basis are based on (i) the 1980 Commissioners' Standard Ordinary 80% Male Mortality Table, (ii) Age Last Birthday, and (iii) tobacco distinct status. Guaranteed cost of insurance rates for base coverage and coverage pursuant to the Supplemental Insurance Rider under policies issued on a medical basis are based on (i) either (a) the 1980 Commissioners' Standard Ordinary 100% Male Mortality Table or (b) the 1980 Commissioners' Standard Ordinary 100% Female Mortality Table, (ii) Age Last Birthday, and (iii) tobacco distinct status. Guaranteed cost of insurance rates for base coverage and coverage pursuant to the Supplemental Insurance Rider on substandard risks will equal the guaranteed cost of insurance rates for standard risks times a percentage greater than 100%.
For policies with applications dated on or after September 30, 2008, guaranteed cost of insurance rates for base coverage and coverage pursuant to the Supplemental Insurance Rider under policies issued on a non-medical basis are based on (i) the 2001 Commissioners' Standard Ordinary 80% Male Mortality Table, (ii) Age Last Birthday, and (iii) tobacco distinct status. Guaranteed cost of insurance rates for base coverage and coverage pursuant to the Supplemental Insurance Rider under policies issued on a medical basis are based on (i) either (a) the 2001 Commissioners' Standard Ordinary 100% Male Mortality Table or (b) the 2001 Commissioners' Standard Ordinary 100% Female Mortality Table, (ii) Age Last Birthday, and (iii) tobacco distinct status. Guaranteed cost of insurance rates for base coverage and coverage pursuant to the Supplemental Insurance Rider on substandard risks will equal the guaranteed cost of insurance rates for standard risks times a percentage greater than 100%.
The underwriting class of an Insured may affect the cost of insurance rate. There are three underwriting classes into which Insureds are placed, depending on the Insureds' mortality characteristics: Guaranteed Issue, Simplified Issue, and Regular Issue. Within each of these mortality risk classes, there are three sub-classifications based on other risk factors of the case and the associated employee benefit plan. The most favorable is Class A, followed by Class B, and then Class C.
In an otherwise identical policy, an Insured in the Regular Issue underwriting class will have a lower cost of insurance than an Insured in a rate class with higher mortality risks.
The rating class is determined using questionnaires, medical records, and physical exams, depending on the amount of insurance and the attributes of the Insured. On groups, Nationwide may underwrite using short-form questionnaires or abbreviated medical evaluations.

Net Amount at Risk
The policy's cost of insurance is also dependent on the policy's Net Amount At Risk. The Net Amount At Risk is allocated between coverage provided by the base policy and coverage provided by the Supplemental Insurance Rider. The Net Amount At Risk for the base policy is the base policy Death Benefit minus the policy's Cash Value. The Net Amount At Risk for the Supplemental Insurance Rider is the Rider Death Benefit (as described in the "Supplemental Insurance Rider" sub-section of the "Policy and Rider Charges" section of the prospectus).
Illustrations
Before purchase of the policy and upon request thereafter, Nationwide will provide illustrations of future benefits under the policy based upon the proposed Insured's age and premium class, the Death Benefit option elected, Specified Amount, planned periodic Premiums, policy components selected, and Riders requested. An illustration will also demonstrate how the current charges associated with your policy may be reduced if the Supplemental Insurance Rider is elected.
Note: The policy owner selects the Premium amount and frequency shown in the product illustration to show Nationwide how much Premium the policy owner intends to pay and when. Illustrated Premium and hypothetical rates of return are not guaranteed. Investment Experience varies over time, is rarely the same year-over-year, and may be negative. Because this is a variable insurance product with the potential for unfavorable Investment Experience, including extended periods of significant stock market decline, you may be required to pay additional Premium in order to meet your goals and/or to prevent the policy from Lapsing. Generally, variable life insurance is considered a long-term investment. Please weigh the investment risk and costs associated with this product against your objectives, time horizon, risk tolerance, and ability to pay additional Premium if necessary.
Advertising
Rating Agencies
Independent financial rating services, including Moody's, Standard & Poor's and A.M. Best Company rank and rate Nationwide. The purpose of these ratings is to reflect the financial strength or claims-paying ability of Nationwide. The ratings are not intended to reflect the Investment Experience or financial strength of the Variable Account. Nationwide may advertise these ratings from time to time. In addition, Nationwide may include in certain advertisements, endorsements in the form of a list of organizations, individuals or other parties which recommend Nationwide or the policies. Furthermore, Nationwide may occasionally include in advertisements comparisons of currently taxable and tax deferred investment programs, based on selected tax brackets, or discussions of alternative investment vehicles and general economic conditions.
Money Market Yields
Nationwide may advertise the "yield" and "effective yield" for the money market Sub-Account. Yield and effective yield are annualized, which means that it is assumed that the underlying mutual fund generates the same level of net income throughout a year.
Yield is a measure of the net dividend and interest income earned over a specific seven-day period (which period will be stated in the advertisement) expressed as a percentage of the offering price of the underlying mutual fund's units. The effective yield is calculated similarly, but reflects assumed compounding, calculated under rules prescribed by the SEC. Thus, effective yield will be slightly higher than yield, due to the compounding.
Historical Performance of the Sub-Accounts
Nationwide will advertise historical performance of the Sub-Accounts in accordance with SEC prescribed calculations. Performance information is annualized. However, if a Sub-Account has been available in the Variable Account for less than one year, the performance information for that Sub-Account is not annualized. Performance information is based on historical earnings and is not intended to predict or project future results.
Additional Materials
Nationwide may provide information on various topics to owners and prospective purchasers in advertising, sales literature, or other materials.

Tax Definition of Life Insurance
Section 7702(b)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code provides that if one of two alternate tests is met, a policy will be treated as life insurance for federal tax purposes. The two tests are referred to as the Guideline Premium/Cash Value Corridor Test and the Cash Value Accumulation Test. Both tests are available to flexible premium policies such as this one.
The tables that follow show, numerically, the requirements for each test.

Cash Value Accumulation Test
The Cash Value Accumulation Test requires the Death Benefit to exceed an applicable percentage of the cash value. These applicable percentages are calculated by determining net single premiums, as defined in Code Section 7702(b), for each policy year given a set of actuarial assumptions. The relevant material assumptions include an interest rate of 4% and 1980 CSO guaranteed mortality as prescribed in Revenue Code Section 7702 for the Cash Value Accumulation Test. The resulting net single premiums are then inverted (i.e., multiplied by 1/net single premium) to give the applicable cash value percentages. These premiums vary with the ages, sexes, and risk classifications of the Insureds.
The table below provides an example for policies with applications dated before September 30, 2008 of applicable percentages for the Cash Value Accumulation Test. This example is for a male non-tobacco age 40.

The Board of Directors of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and subsidiaries and

Contract Owners of Nationwide VLI Separate Account-4:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets, liabilities and contract owners’ equity of Nationwide VLI Separate Account-4 (comprised of the sub-accounts listed in the Appendix, (collectively, “the Accounts”)), as of December 31, 2017, and the related statements of operations for the year or period then ended indicated in the Appendix, the statements of changes in contract owners’ equity for each of the years or periods in the two-year period then ended indicated in the Appendix, and the related notes (collectively, the “financial statements”) and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Accounts as of December 31, 2017, the results of their operations for the year or period then ended, the changes in contract owners’ equity for each of the years or periods in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Accounts’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2017, by correspondence with the transfer agents of the underlying mutual funds or by other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ KPMG LLP

We have not been able to determine the specific year that we began serving as the auditor of one or more Nationwide Life Insurance Company and subsidiaries separate account investment companies, however we are aware that we have served as the auditor of one or more Nationwide Life Insurance Company and subsidiaries separate account investment companies since at least 1981.

  * At December 31, 2017, policyholders were not invested in this fund.

The Contract Owners’ Equity is affected by the investment results of each fund, equity transactions by policyholders and certain policy and asset charges (see notes 2 and 3). The accompanying financial statements include only policyholders’ purchase payments pertaining to the variable portions of their policies and exclude any purchase payments for fixed dollar benefits, the latter being included in the accounts of the Company.

A policyholder may choose from among a number of different underlying mutual fund options. The underlying mutual fund options are not available to the general public directly. The underlying mutual funds are available as investment options in variable life insurance policies issued by life insurance companies or, in some cases, through participation in certain qualified pension or retirement plans.

Some of the underlying mutual funds have been established by investment advisers which manage publicly traded mutual funds having similar names and investment objectives. While some of the underlying mutual funds may be similar to, and may in fact be modeled after, publicly traded mutual funds, the underlying mutual funds are not otherwise directly related to any publicly traded mutual fund. Consequently, the investment performance of publicly traded mutual funds and any corresponding underlying mutual funds may differ substantially.

A purchase payment could be presented as a negative equity transaction in the Statements of Changes in Contract Owners’ Equity if a prior period purchase payment is refunded to a policyholder due to a policy cancellation during the free look period, and/or if a gain is realized by the policyholder during the free look period.

The Company allocates purchase payments to subaccounts and/or the fixed account as instructed by the policyholder. Shares of the subaccounts are purchased at Net Asset Value, then converted into accumulation units. Certain transactions may be subject to conditions imposed by the underlying mutual funds, as well as those set forth in the policy.

(c) Security Valuation, Transactions and Related Investment Income

Investments in underlying mutual funds are valued at the closing Net Asset Value per share at December 31, 2017 of such funds. The cost of investments sold is determined on a first in - first out basis. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed), and dividends and capital gain distributions are accrued as of the ex-dividend date and are reinvested in the underlying mutual funds.

(d) Federal Income Taxes

Operations of the Separate Account form a part of, and are taxed with, operations of the Company, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company does not provide for income taxes within the Separate Account. Taxes are generally the responsibility of the policyholder upon termination or withdrawal.

(e) Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(f) Recently Issued Accounting Standards

There are no recently issued accounting standards applicable to the Separate Account.

(g) Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and no subsequent events have occurred requiring accrual or disclosure.

(h) Securities and Exchange Commission Regulations

On October 13, 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission amended Regulation S-X, which will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, as well as other amendments. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management has incorporated the changes necessary to the financial statements and disclosures.


(2) Policy Charges

The Separate Account assesses charges associated with the policy. These charges are either assessed as a direct deduction from premium payments or through a redemption of units from the subaccounts contained within the Separate Account.

(4) Death Benefits

Death benefit proceeds result in a redemption of the policy value from the Separate Account and payment of those proceeds, less any outstanding policy loans (and policy charges), to the legal beneficiary. In the event that the guaranteed death benefit exceeds the policy value on the date of death, the excess is paid by the Company’s general account.

(5) Policy Loans (Net of Repayments)

Policy provisions allow policyholders to borrow 90% of a policy’s variable cash surrender value plus 100% of a policy’s fixed cash surrender value less applicable value of surrender charge. Interest is charged on the outstanding loan and is due and payable in advance on the policy anniversary. At the time the loan is granted, the amount of the loan is transferred from the Separate Account to the Company’s general account as collateral for the outstanding loan. Collateral amounts in the general account are credited with the stated rate of interest in effect at the time the loan is made, subject to a guaranteed minimum rate. Interest credited is paid by the Company’s general account to the Separate Account. Loan repayments result in a transfer of collateral including interest credited back to the Separate Account.

(6) Related Party Transactions

The Company performs various services on behalf of the mutual fund companies in which the Separate Account invests and may receive fees for the services performed. These services include, among other things, shareholder communications, postage, fund transfer agency and various other record keeping and customer service functions. These fees are paid to an affiliate of the Company.


Policyholders may, with certain restrictions, transfer their assets between the Separate Account and a fixed dollar policy (fixed account) maintained in the accounts of the Company. These transfers are the result of the policyholder executing fund exchanges. Fund exchanges from the Separate Account to the fixed account are included in surrenders, and fund exchanges from the fixed account to the Separate Account are included in purchase payments received from policyholders, as applicable, on the accompanying Statements of Changes in Contract Owner’s Equity. Policy loan transactions (note 5), executed at the direction of the policyholder, also result in transfers between the Separate Account and the fixed account of the Company, but are included in Net Policy Repayments (Loans). The fixed account assets are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements. For the periods ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, total transfers to the Separate Account from the fixed account were $47,692,710 and $47,759,275, respectively, and total transfers from the Separate Account to the fixed account were $70,943,753 and $83,480,348, respectively.

(7) Fair Value Measurement

FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Separate Account generally uses the market approach as the valuation technique due to the nature of the mutual fund investments offered in the Separate Account. This technique maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs.

In accordance with FASB ASC 820, the Separate Account categorized its financial instruments into a three level hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument in its entirety.

The Separate Account categorizes financial assets recorded at fair value as follows:

 

   

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices accessible in active markets and mutual funds where the value per share (unit) is determined and published and is the basis for current transactions for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

 

   

Level 2 – Unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable or that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means.

 

   

Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Inputs reflect management’s best estimate about the assumptions market participants would use at the measurement date in pricing the asset or liability. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in both the method of valuation and the valuation inputs.

The Separate Account recognizes transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the reporting period end. There were no transfers between Level 1 and 2 as of December 31, 2017.

The following table summarizes assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2017:

The following tabular presentation is a summary of units, unit fair values, Contract Owners’ Equity outstanding and policy expense rates for variable life policies as of December 31, 2017, and the investment income ratio and total return for each of the periods in the five year period ended December 31, 2017. Total return and investment income ratio for periods with no ending Contract Owners’ Equity were considered to be irrelevant, and therefore are not presented.

* This represents the range of annual policy expense rates of the variable account at the period end indicated and includes only those expenses that are charged through a reduction in the unit values. Excluded are expenses of the underlying mutual funds and charges made directly to policyholder accounts through the redemption of units.
** This represents the ratio of dividends for the period indicated, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the subaccount from the underlying mutual fund, net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by monthly average net assets (excluding months where net assets are zero). The investment income ratio for subaccounts initially funded during the period presented has not been annualized. The ratios exclude those expenses that result in direct reductions to the policyholder accounts through reductions in unit values. The recognition of investment income by the subaccount is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the subaccounts invest.
*** This represents the range of minimum and maximum total returns for the period indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying mutual fund, which reflects the reduction of unit values for expenses assessed. The total returns do not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units; inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented. Total return is not annualized if the underlying mutual fund option is initially offered, funded, or both, during the period presented. Minimum and maximum ranges are not shown for underlying mutual fund options for which a single policy expense rate (product option) exists. In such cases, the total return presented is representative of all units issued and outstanding at period end.
**** Subaccounts denoted indicate the underlying mutual fund option was initially added and funded during the period presented. Prior period presentation, which indicated the date the underlying mutual fund was initially added and funded, has been updated to conform with current period presentation.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholder

Nationwide Life Insurance Company:

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes and financial statement schedules I, III, IV, and V (collectively, the “consolidated financial statements”) of the Company as listed in the accompanying table of contents. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2017, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)

(“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NATIONWIDE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

(a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nationwide Financial Services, Inc.)

Notes to December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 Consolidated Financial Statements

 

 

 

(1) Nature of Operations

Nationwide Life Insurance Company (“NLIC,” or collectively with its subsidiaries, “the Company”) was incorporated in 1929 and is an Ohio-domiciled stock life insurance company. The Company is a member of the Nationwide group of companies (“Nationwide”), which is comprised of Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (“NMIC”) and all of its subsidiaries and affiliates.

All of the outstanding shares of NLIC’s common stock are owned by Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (“NFS”), a holding company formed by Nationwide Corporation, a majority-owned subsidiary of NMIC.

The Company is a leading provider of long-term savings and retirement products in the United States of America (“U.S.”). The Company develops and sells a wide range of products and services, which include fixed and variable individual annuities, private and public sector group retirement plans, life insurance, investment advisory services and other investment products.

The Company sells its products through a diverse distribution network. Unaffiliated entities that sell the Company’s products to their own customer bases include independent broker-dealers, financial institutions, wirehouse and regional firms, pension plan administrators, life insurance agencies, specialists and registered investment advisors. Representatives of affiliates who market products directly to a customer base include Nationwide Retirement Solutions, Inc. and Nationwide Financial Network producers, which includes the agency distribution force of the Company’s ultimate parent company, NMIC.

Wholly-owned subsidiaries of NLIC as of December 31, 2017 include Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (“NLAIC”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Olentangy Reinsurance, LLC (“Olentangy”), Nationwide Investment Services Corporation (“NISC”), Nationwide Investment Advisor (“NIA”), Eagle Captive Reinsurance, LLC (“Eagle”) and Jefferson National Financial Corp (“JNF”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, as discussed in Note 4. NLAIC primarily offers universal life insurance, variable universal life insurance, term life insurance, corporate-owned life insurance (“COLI”) and individual annuity contracts on a non-participating basis. Olentangy is a Vermont-domiciled special purpose financial captive insurance company. NISC is a registered broker-dealer. NIA is a registered investment advisor. Eagle is an Ohio-domiciled special purpose financial captive insurance company. JNF is a distributor of tax-advantaged investing solutions for registered investment advisors, fee-based advisors and the clients they serve. See Note 4 for detailed information related to the acquisition of JNF.

As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not have a significant concentration of financial instruments in a single investee, industry or geographic region. Also, the Company did not have a concentration of business transactions with a particular customer, lender, distribution source, market or geographic region in which a single event could cause a severe impact on the Company’s financial position, after considering insurance risk that has been transferred to external reinsurers.

 

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NLIC and companies in which NLIC directly or indirectly has a controlling financial interest. The consolidated financial statements include wholly-owned subsidiaries and consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”). All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates include the balance and amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs (“DAC”), legal and regulatory reserves, certain investment and derivative valuations, certain future policy benefits and claims, goodwill, provision for income taxes and valuation of net deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Notes to December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 Consolidated Financial Statements

 

 

 

Revenues and Benefits

Investment and universal life insurance products. Investment products are long-duration contracts that do not subject the Company to significant risk arising from mortality (the incidence of death) or morbidity (the incidence of disability resulting from disease or physical impairment). These include variable and fixed deferred annuity contracts in the accumulation phase with individuals and groups, as well as certain annuities without life contingencies. Universal life insurance products include long-duration insurance contracts that do not have fixed or guaranteed terms. These include universal life insurance, variable universal life insurance, COLI, bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) and other interest-sensitive life insurance policies. Revenues for investment products and universal life insurance products consist of net investment income, net realized investment gains and losses, surrender charges and other policy charges earned and assessed against policy account balances during the period. Policy charges are assessed on a daily, monthly or annual basis and are recognized as revenue when earned. Assessments for services provided in future periods are recorded as unearned revenue and recognized as revenue over the periods benefited. Surrender charges are recognized as revenue upon surrender of a contract in accordance with contractual terms.

Traditional life insurance products. Traditional life insurance products include those products with fixed and guaranteed terms, primarily consisting of whole life insurance, term life insurance and certain annuities with life contingencies. Premiums for traditional life insurance products are generally recognized as revenue when due. For certain annuities with life contingencies, any excess of gross premium over the net premium is deferred and recognized with the amount of expected future benefits. Benefits and expenses are associated with earned premiums so that profits are recognized over the life of the contract. This association is accomplished through the provision for future policy benefits and the deferral and amortization of policy acquisition costs.

Future Policy Benefits and Claims

Investment and universal life insurance products. The Company calculates its liability for future policy benefits and claims for investment products in the accumulation phase and for universal life insurance policies at the policy accrued account balance, which represents participants’ net deposits adjusted for investment performance, interest credited and applicable contract charges. Policy benefits and claims that are charged to expense include interest credited to policyholder accounts and benefits and claims incurred in the period in excess of related policyholder accounts.

The Company offers guarantees on variable and fixed indexed annuity products, which can include a return of no less than the total deposits made on the contract less any customer withdrawals, total deposits made on the contract less any customer withdrawals plus a minimum return, or the highest contract value on a specified anniversary date minus any customer withdrawals following the contract anniversary. These guarantees can also include benefits payable in the event of death, upon annuitization, upon periodic withdrawal or at specified dates during the accumulation period.

As part of its valuation procedures, the Company makes an assumption of the expected utilization of guarantee benefits by participants. Guarantees that include a benefit that is wholly life contingent are accounted for as insurance liabilities that accumulate over time. Guarantees that are expected to be exercised using a net settlement option are accounted for as embedded derivatives, which are required to be separated and valued apart from the host variable annuity contracts.

Guaranteed minimum death benefits (“GMDB”) and certain guaranteed living withdrawal benefits (“GLWB”) on variable annuity and fixed indexed annuity products, as well as no-lapse guarantees on universal life and variable universal life insurance products are accounted for as insurance liabilities. Liabilities for these guarantees are calculated by multiplying the current benefit ratio by the cumulative assessments recorded from contract inception through the balance sheet date, less the cumulative guaranteed benefit payments plus interest. The Company evaluates its experience and assumptions and adjusts the benefit ratio as appropriate. If experience or assumption changes result in a new benefit ratio, the reserves are adjusted to reflect the changes, with a related charge or credit to benefits and claims in the period of evaluation. Determination of the expected benefit payments and assessments are based on a range of scenarios and assumptions, including those related to market rates of return and volatility, contract surrenders and mortality experience. The accounting for these guarantees impacts estimated gross profits used to calculate the balance and amortization of DAC and other expenses.

Notes to December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 Consolidated Financial Statements

 

 

 

Certain GLWB that are expected to net settle on variable annuity products represent embedded derivatives which are held at fair value and include the present value of attributed fees. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the embedded derivatives are recognized in results of operations as a component of net realized investment gains and losses. The fair value of the embedded derivatives is calculated based on a combination of capital market and actuarial assumptions. Projections of cash flows inherent in the valuation of the embedded derivatives incorporate numerous, unobservable assumptions including, but not limited to, mortality, lapse rates, index volatility, benefit utilization and discounting. Benefit utilization includes a wait period (the number of years the policyholder is assumed to wait prior to beginning withdrawals once eligible) and efficiency of benefit utilization (the percent of the maximum permitted withdrawal that a policyholder takes). Discounting includes liquidity and non-performance risk (the risk that the liability will not be fulfilled) and affects the fair value of the liability. The Company derives these inputs, which vary widely by product, attained age, policy duration, benefits in the money and the existence of surrender charges, from experience and industry data.

The Company offers certain indexed life insurance and annuity products for which the policyholders’ interest credits are based on market performance with caps and floors. The interest credits represent embedded derivatives within the insurance contract and therefore are required to be separated and valued apart from the host contracts. The embedded derivatives are held at fair value. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the embedded derivatives are recognized in results of operations as a component of interest credited to policyholder account values. The fair value of the embedded derivatives is calculated based on a combination of capital market and actuarial assumptions. Projections of cash flows inherent in the valuation of the embedded derivatives incorporate numerous unobservable assumptions including, but not limited to, mortality, lapse rates and index volatility. The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of embedded derivatives are based on actual experience and industry data and are reviewed as part of an annual comprehensive study of assumptions. Quarterly, consideration is given as to whether adjustments to these assumptions are necessary.

Traditional life and other insurance products. The process of calculating reserve amounts for traditional life insurance products involves the use of a number of assumptions, including those related to persistency (the percentage of insurance policies remaining in-force from year to year), mortality, morbidity, interest rates and certain other expenses.

The liability for future policy benefits and claims for traditional life insurance policies was determined using the net level premium method, with a weighted average interest rate of 6.6% for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 and estimates of mortality, morbidity, investment yields and persistency that were used or being experienced at the time the policies were issued, with a provision for adverse deviation.

The liability for future policy benefits for certain annuities with life contingencies was calculated using the present value of future benefits and certain expenses, discounted using weighted average interest rates of 4.8% and 4.6% for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, with a provision for adverse deviation.

The Company offers certain short duration traditional insurance, consisting primarily of accident and health contracts. These short duration insurance contracts are subject to an internal modified coinsurance treaty where activity including premiums, investment income, losses paid and adjustments to reserves, dividends paid and expenses incurred are ceded from NLIC to NMIC. The Company’s reserve for short duration contracts was $70 million and $72 million as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Advances under FHLB funding agreements. The Company issues fixed and floating rate funding agreements to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (“FHLB”). The liabilities for such funding agreements are treated as annuities under Ohio law and recorded in future policy benefits and claims. The amount of collateralized funding agreements outstanding with the FHLB as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $2.0 billion and $2.3 billion, respectively. In connection with an FHLB requirement for funding agreements, the Company held $47 million of FHLB stock as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Reinsurance Ceded

The Company cedes insurance to other companies in order to limit potential losses and to diversify its exposures. The Company obtains reinsurance from a diverse group of reinsurers and monitors concentration as well as financial strength ratings of the reinsurers to minimize counterparty credit risk. Such agreements do not relieve the original insurer from its primary obligation to the policyholder in the event the reinsurer is unable to meet the obligations it has assumed. On an ongoing basis, the Company monitors the financial condition of reinsurers. Reinsurance premiums ceded and reinsurance recoveries on benefits and claims incurred are deducted from the respective income and expense accounts. Assets and liabilities related to reinsurance ceded are reported in the consolidated balance sheets on a gross basis, separately from the related future policy benefits and claims of the Company.

Notes to December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 Consolidated Financial Statements

 

 

 

Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with future policy benefits and claims reserves. The Company reports its reinsurance recoverables net of any allowance for estimated uncollectible reinsurance recoverables, if deemed necessary. The Company’s consideration is based upon ongoing reviews of amounts outstanding, changes in reinsurer credit standings and other relevant factors.

Under the terms of contracts held with certain unaffiliated reinsurers, specified assets have been placed in trusts as collateral for the recoveries. The trust assets are invested in investment grade securities, the fair value of which must at all times be greater than or equal to 100% of the reinsured reserves, as outlined in the underlying reinsurance contracts.

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs

The Company has deferred certain acquisition costs that are directly related to the successful acquisition of new and renewal insurance and investment contracts. The methods and assumptions used to amortize and assess recoverability of the DAC balance depend on the type of product.

Investment and universal life insurance products. For certain investment and universal life insurance products, DAC is amortized with interest over the lives of the policies in relation to the present value of estimated gross profits, which is determined primarily from projected interest margins, policy charges and net realized investment gains and losses, less policy benefits and other expenses. The DAC asset related to investment and universal life insurance products is adjusted to reflect the impact of unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, with the corresponding adjustment recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). This adjustment to DAC represents the change in amortization that would have been required as a charge or credit to results of operations had such unrealized amounts been realized. DAC for investment and universal life insurance products is subject to recoverability testing in the year of policy issuance, and DAC for universal life insurance products is also subject to loss recognition testing annually.

The assumptions used in the estimation of gross profits are based on the Company’s current best estimates of future events and are reviewed as part of an annual comprehensive study of assumptions. The most significant assumptions that are involved in the estimation of future gross profits include future net general and separate account investment performance, surrender/lapse rates, interest margins, renewal premiums and mortality. Quarterly, consideration is given as to whether adjustments to these assumptions are necessary. The Company uses a reversion to the mean process to determine the assumption for the future net separate account investment performance. This process assumes different performance levels over the next three years, such that the separate account mean return, measured from the anchor date to the end of the life of the product, equals the long-term assumption. The Company’s long-term assumption for net separate account investment performance is approximately 6.25% growth per year as of December 31, 2017.

Changes in assumptions can have a significant impact on the amount of DAC reported for investment and universal life insurance products and on their related amortization patterns. In the event actual experience differs from assumptions or future assumptions are revised, the Company will record an increase or decrease in DAC amortization expense, which could be significant.

Traditional life insurance products. DAC is amortized with interest over the premium-paying period of the related policies in proportion to premium revenue recognized. These assumptions are consistent with those used in the calculation of liabilities for future policy benefits at issuance. DAC is evaluated for recoverability in the year of policy issuance, and loss recognition testing is conducted annually.

Refer to Note 6 for discussion regarding DAC amortization and related balances.

Available-for-sale securities. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income, net of adjustments for DAC, future policy benefits and claims, policyholder dividend obligations and deferred federal income taxes. Realized gains and losses on sales of available-for-sale securities are recognized in income based on the specific identification method. Interest and dividend income is recognized in net investment income when earned.

As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, 99% of fixed maturity securities were priced using externally sourced data. Independent pricing services are most often utilized (85% and 86% as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively), and compared to pricing from additional sources, to determine the fair value of securities for which market quotations or quotations on comparable securities are available. For these securities, the Company obtains the pricing services’ methodologies and classifies the investments accordingly in the fair value hierarchy.

A corporate pricing matrix is used in valuing certain corporate debt securities. The corporate pricing matrix was developed using publicly and privately available spreads for privately placed corporate securities with varying weighted average lives and credit quality ratings. The weighted average life and credit quality rating of a particular fixed maturity security to be priced using this matrix are important inputs into the model and are used to determine a corresponding spread that is added to the appropriate U.S. Treasury yield to create an estimated market yield for that security. The estimated market yield and other relevant factors are then used to estimate the fair value of the particular security.

Non-binding broker quotes are also utilized to determine the fair value of certain fixed maturity securities when deemed appropriate or when quotes are not available from independent pricing services or a corporate pricing matrix. These securities are classified with the lowest priority in the fair value hierarchy as only one broker quote is ordinarily obtained, the investment is not traded on an exchange, the pricing is not available to other entities and/or the transaction volume in the same or similar investments has decreased. Inputs used in the development of prices are not provided to the Company by the brokers, as the brokers often do not provide the necessary transparency into their quotes and methodologies. At least annually, the Company performs reviews and tests to ensure that quotes are a reasonable estimate of the investments’ fair value. Price movements of broker quotes are subject to validation and require approval from the Company’s management. Management uses its knowledge of the investment and current market conditions to determine if the price is indicative of the investment’s fair value.

When the collectability of contractual interest payments on fixed maturity securities is considered doubtful, such securities are placed in non-accrual status and any accrued interest is excluded from investment income. These securities are not restored to accrual status until the Company determines that future payment of principal and interest is probable.

The Company has entered into securities lending agreements with a custodial bank whereby eligible securities are loaned to third parties, primarily major brokerage firms. These transactions are used to generate additional income in the securities portfolio. The Company is entitled to receive from the borrower any payments of interest and dividends received on loaned securities during the loan term. The agreements require a minimum of 102% of the fair value of the loaned securities to be held as collateral. Cash collateral is invested by the custodial bank in investment-grade securities, which are included in the total investments of the Company. Additionally, the Company may receive non-cash collateral, which would be recorded off-balance sheet. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the fair value of the securities received as collateral and recorded off-balance sheet is $43 million and $331 million, respectively. The Company recognizes loaned securities in available-for-sale investments. A securities lending payable is recorded in other liabilities for the amount of cash collateral received. Net income received from securities lending activities is included in net investment income. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the fair value of loaned securities was $348 million and $541 million, respectively.

For investments in certain residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities, the Company recognizes income and amortizes discounts and premiums using the effective-yield method, based on prepayment assumptions and the estimated economic life of the securities. When actual prepayments differ significantly from estimated prepayments, the effective-yield is recalculated to reflect actual payments to date and anticipated future payments. Any resulting adjustment is included in net investment income in the period the estimates are revised. All other investment income is recorded using the effective-yield method without anticipating the impact of prepayments.

The Company periodically reviews its available-for-sale securities to determine if any decline in fair value to below amortized cost is other-than-temporary. Factors considered in determining whether a decline is other-than-temporary include the length of time a security has been in an unrealized loss position, the severity of the unrealized loss, reasons for the decline in value and expectations for the amount and timing of a recovery in fair value.

In assessing corporate debt securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”), the Company evaluates the ability of the issuer to meet its debt obligations, the value of the company or specific collateral securing the debt, the Company’s intent to sell the security and whether it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost basis. The Company evaluates U.S. government and agencies and obligations of states and political subdivisions securities for OTTI by examining similar characteristics.

Mortgage-backed securities are assessed for impairment using default estimates based on loan level data, where available. Where loan level data is not available, a proxy based on collateral characteristics is used. The impairment assessment considers loss severity as a function of multiple factors, including unpaid balance, interest rate, mortgage insurance ratios, assessed property value at origination, change in property value, loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratio at origination and prepayment speeds. Cash flows generated by the collateral are then utilized, along with consideration of the instrument’s position in the overall structure, to determine cash flows associated with the security.

Certain asset-backed securities are assessed for impairment using expected cash flows based on various inputs, including default estimates based on the underlying corporate securities, historical and forecasted loss severities or other market inputs when recovery estimates are not feasible. When the collateral is regional bank and insurance company trust preferred securities, default estimates used to estimate cash flows are based on U.S. Bank Rating service data and broker research.

The Company evaluates its intent to sell on an individual security basis. OTTI losses on securities when the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not it will be required to sell the security prior to recovery of the security’s amortized cost basis are bifurcated, with the credit related portion of the impairment loss being recognized in results of operations and the non-credit related portion of the impairment loss and any subsequent changes in the fair value of those debt securities being recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes and other offsets. To estimate the credit related portion of an impairment loss recognized in results of operations, the Company considers the present value of the cash flows. To the extent that the present value of cash flows generated by a debt security is less than the amortized cost, an OTTI is recognized through results of operations.

It is possible that further declines in fair values of such investments, or changes in assumptions or estimates of anticipated recoveries and/or cash flows, may cause further OTTI, which could be significant.

The Company invests in fixed maturity securities that could qualify as VIEs, including corporate securities, mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of these securities as the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entities’ performance. The Company’s potential loss is limited to the carrying values of these securities. There are no liquidity arrangements, guarantees or other commitments by third parties that affect the fair value of the Company’s interest in these assets.

Mortgage loans, net of allowance. The Company holds commercial mortgage loans that are collateralized by properties throughout the U.S. These mortgage loans are categorized into the following property types: office, industrial, retail, hotel, apartment and other. Mortgage loans held-for-investment are held at amortized cost less a valuation allowance for losses.

As part of the underwriting process, specific guidelines are followed to ensure the initial quality of each new mortgage loan. Third-party appraisals are obtained to support loaned amounts, as the loans are usually collateral dependent.

The collectability of a mortgage loan is based on the ability of the borrower to repay and/or the value of the underlying collateral. The Company’s commercial mortgage loans are typically structured with balloon payment maturities, exposing the Company to risks associated with the borrower’s ability to make the balloon payment upon maturity of such loan or refinance the property.

Mortgage loans require a loan-specific reserve when, based on current information and events, the value of the property collateral is determined to be less than the current carrying value and it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due pursuant to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When management determines that a mortgage loan requires a loan-specific reserve, a provision for loss is established equal to the difference between the carrying value and either the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell or the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at such loan’s effective interest rate. Loan-specific reserve charges are recorded in net realized investment gains and losses. In the event a loan-specific reserve charge is reversed, the recovery is also recorded in net realized investment gains and losses.

In addition to the loan-specific reserves, the Company maintains a non-specific reserve based primarily on property type, loan-to-value and loan surveillance categories. This non-specific reserve reflects management’s best estimates of probable losses inherent in the portfolio for mortgage loans without specific reserves as of the balance sheet date. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the non-specific reserve is based on historical loan loss experience, the composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. Non-specific reserve changes are recorded in net realized investment gains and losses.

Management evaluates the credit quality of individual commercial mortgage loans and the portfolio as a whole through a number of loan quality measurements, including but not limited to LTV and debt service coverage (“DSC”) ratios. The LTV ratio is calculated as a ratio of the amortized cost of a loan to the estimated value of the underlying collateral. DSC is the amount of cash flow generated by the underlying collateral of the mortgage loan available to meet periodic interest and principal payments of the loan. These loan quality measurements contribute to management’s assessment of relative credit risk in the commercial mortgage loan portfolio. Based on underwriting criteria and ongoing assessment of the properties’ performance, management believes the amounts, net of valuation allowance, are collectible. This process identifies the risk profile and potential for loss individually and in the aggregate for the commercial mortgage loan portfolios. These factors are updated and evaluated at least annually.

Interest income on performing mortgage loans is recognized in net investment income over the life of the loan using the effective-yield method. Loans in default or in the process of foreclosure are placed on non-accrual status. Interest on non-accrual status mortgage loans is included in net investment income in the period collected. Loans are restored to accrual status when the principal and interest is current and it is determined the future principal and interest payments are probable or when the loan is modified. Loans are considered delinquent when contractual payments are 90 days past due.

Policy loans. Policy loans, which are collateralized by the related insurance policy, are held at the outstanding principal balance and do not exceed the net cash surrender value of the policy. As such, no valuation allowance for policy loans is required.

Short-term investments. Short-term investments consist primarily of highly liquid mutual funds and government agency discount notes with maturities of twelve months or less at acquisition. The Company and various affiliates maintain agreements with Nationwide Cash Management Company (“NCMC”), an affiliate, under which NCMC acts as a common agent in handling the purchase and sale of short-term securities for the respective accounts of the participants. Amounts on deposit with NCMC for the benefit of the Company are included in short-term investments on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company carries short-term investments at fair value.

Other investments. Other investments consist primarily of alternative investments in hedge funds, private equity funds, private and emerging market debt funds, tax credit funds and real estate partnerships accounted for under the equity method, as well as trading securities, equity securities and capital stock with the FHLB. The Company applies mark-to-market accounting to trading securities and recognizes changes in fair value in net realized investment gains and losses.

The Company holds alternative investments as described above and applies the equity method of accounting to these investments as it does not have a controlling financial interest. The Company recognizes income or losses from equity method investments in net investment income. These equity method investments are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the investment might not be recoverable. The Company’s unfunded commitments related to alternative investments were $787 million and $495 million as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The carrying value of alternative investments was $582 million and $362 million as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

In the normal course of business, the Company has relationships with VIEs. If the Company determines that it has a variable interest and is the primary beneficiary, it consolidates the VIE. The Company is the primary beneficiary if the Company has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entity and the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the entity that could be potentially significant to the VIE. This determination is based on a review of the entity’s contract and other deal-related information, such as the entity’s equity investment at risk, decision-making abilities, obligations to absorb economic risks and right to receive economic rewards of the entity.

Consolidated VIEs are primarily made up of tax credit funds whereby the Company serves as the managing member and has guaranteed after-tax benefits to third party investors. The Company has sold $1.7 billion and $1.5 billion in tax credit funds to unrelated third parties as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. These guaranteed after-tax benefits are provided through periods ending in 2036 and are in effect for periods of approximately 15 years each. The tax credit funds provide a stream of tax benefits to the investors that will generate a yield and return of capital. If the tax benefits are not sufficient to provide these cumulative after-tax yields, the Company must fund any shortfall. The maximum amount of undiscounted future payments that the Company could be required to pay the investors under the terms of the guarantees is $987 million, but the Company does not anticipate making any material payments related to the guarantees. The Company’s risks are mitigated in the following ways: (1) the Company has the right to buyout the equity related to the guarantee under certain circumstances, (2) the Company may replace underperforming properties to mitigate exposure to guarantee payments, (3) the Company oversees the asset management of the deals and (4) changes in tax laws are explicitly excluded from the Company’s guarantees of after-tax benefits.

Net assets (controlling and noncontrolling interests) of all consolidated VIEs totaled $738 million and $667 million as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and are included within the consolidated balance sheets primarily as other investments of $680 million, other assets of $189 million and other liabilities of $158 million as of December 31, 2017, and other investments of $614 million, other assets of $77 million and other liabilities of $67 million as of December 31, 2016. The Company’s general credit is not exposed to the creditors or beneficial interest holders of these consolidated VIEs. The results of operations and financial positions of each VIE for which the Company is the primary beneficiary, as well as the corresponding noncontrolling interests, are recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Ownership interests held by unrelated third parties in the consolidated VIEs are presented as noncontrolling interests in the equity section of the consolidated financial statements. Losses attributable to noncontrolling interests are excluded from the net income attributable to the Company on the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company is not required and does not intend to provide financial or other support outside of contractual requirements to any VIE.

Derivative Instruments

The Company uses derivative instruments to manage exposures and mitigate risks primarily associated with interest rates, equity markets and foreign currency. These derivative instruments primarily include interest rate swaps, futures contracts and options. All derivative instruments are held at fair value and are reflected as other assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

The fair value of derivative instruments is determined using various valuation techniques relying predominantly on observable market inputs. These inputs include interest rate swap curves, credit spreads, interest rates, counterparty credit risk, equity volatility and equity index levels. In cases where observable inputs are not available, the Company will utilize non-binding broker quotes to determine fair value, and these instruments are classified accordingly in the fair value hierarchy. Price movements of these broker quotes are subject to validation and require approval from the Company’s management. Management uses models to internally value the instruments for comparison to the values received through broker quotes.

For derivatives that are not designated for hedge accounting, the gain or loss on the derivative is recognized in net realized investment gains and losses.

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify for cash flow hedge accounting, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of AOCI and reclassified into results of operations in the same period or periods that the hedged transaction impacts results of operations. The ineffective portion of the derivative’s change in value, if any, along with any of the derivative’s change in value that is excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, are recorded in net realized investment gains and losses.

The Company’s derivative transaction counterparties are generally financial institutions. To reduce the credit risk associated with open contracts, the Company enters into master netting agreements, which permit the closeout and netting of transactions with the same counterparty upon the occurrence of certain events. In addition, the Company attempts to reduce credit risk by obtaining collateral from counterparties. The determination of the need for and the levels of collateral vary based on an assessment of the credit risk of the counterparty. The Company accepts collateral in the forms of cash and marketable securities. Non-cash collateral received is recorded off-balance sheet.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s view of market assumptions in the absence of observable market information. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. In determining fair value, the Company uses various methods, including market, income and cost approaches.

The Company categorizes its financial instruments into a three-level hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument in its entirety.

NATIONWIDE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

(a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nationwide Financial Services, Inc.)

Notes to December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 Consolidated Financial Statements

 

 

 

The Company categorizes assets and liabilities held at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets as follows:

Level 1. Unadjusted quoted prices accessible in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date and mutual funds, where the value per share (unit) is determined and published daily and is the basis for current transactions.

Level 2. Unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable or that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means. Primary inputs to this valuation technique may include comparative trades, bid/asks, interest rate movements, U.S. Treasury rates, London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), prime rates, cash flows, maturity dates, call ability, estimated prepayments and/or underlying collateral values.

Level 3. Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Inputs reflect management’s best estimates of the assumptions market participants would use at the measurement date in pricing the asset or liability. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in both the method of valuation and the valuation inputs.

The Company reviews its fair value hierarchy classifications for assets and liabilities quarterly. Changes in the observability of significant valuation inputs identified during these reviews may trigger reclassifications. Reclassifications are reported as transfers at the beginning of the period in which the change occurs.

Fair Value Option. The Company assesses the fair value option election for newly acquired assets or liabilities on a prospective basis. There are no material assets or liabilities for which the Company has elected the fair value option.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than three months.

Goodwill

In connection with business acquisitions, the Company recognizes goodwill as the excess of the purchase price or fair value of consideration exchanged over the fair values of tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and separately identified intangible assets. Goodwill is not amortized, but is evaluated for impairment at the reporting unit level annually or on an interim basis, in addition to the annual evaluation, if an event occurs or circumstances change which would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. If a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value, the Company will calculate implied goodwill. Goodwill is impaired at the reporting unit level if its carrying value exceeds the implied value of its goodwill.

The process of evaluating goodwill for impairment requires several judgments and assumptions to be made to determine the fair value of the reporting units, including the method used to determine fair value, discount rates, expected levels of cash flows, revenues and results of operations, and the selection of comparable companies used to develop market-based assumptions. The carrying value of goodwill was $269 million and $200 million as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and is included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. There were no impairments to goodwill as of December 31, 2017 and 2016. Total additions to goodwill was $69 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 and there was no addition to goodwill for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Closed Block

In connection with the sponsored demutualization of Provident Mutual Life Insurance Company (“Provident”) prior to its acquisition by the Company, Provident established a closed block for the benefit of certain classes of individual participating policies that had a dividend scale payable in 2001. Assets were allocated to the closed block in an amount that produces cash flows which, together with anticipated revenues from closed block business, is reasonably expected to be sufficient to provide for (1) payment of policy benefits, specified expenses and taxes, and (2) the continuation of dividends throughout the life of the Provident policies included in the closed block based upon the dividend scales payable for 2001, if the experience underlying such dividend scales continues.

Assets allocated to the closed block benefit only the holders of the policies included in the closed block and will not revert to the benefit of the Company. No reallocation, transfer, borrowing or lending of assets can be made between the closed block and other portions of the Company’s general account, any of its separate accounts, or any affiliate of the Company without the approval of the Pennsylvania Insurance Department and the Ohio Department of Insurance (“ODI”). The closed block will remain in effect as long as any policy in the closed block is in force.

If, over time, the aggregate performance of the closed block assets and policies is better than was assumed in funding the closed block, dividends to policyholders will increase. If, over time, the aggregate performance of the closed block assets and policies is less favorable than was assumed in the funding, dividends to policyholders could be reduced. If the closed block has insufficient funds to make guaranteed policy benefit payments, such payments will be made from the Company’s assets outside of the closed block, which are general account assets.

The assets and liabilities allocated to the closed block are recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements on the same basis as other similar assets and liabilities. The carrying amount of closed block liabilities in excess of the carrying amount of closed block assets at the date Provident was acquired by the Company represents the maximum future earnings from the assets and liabilities designated to the closed block that can be recognized in income, for the benefit of stockholders, over the period the policies in the closed block remain in force.

If actual cumulative earnings exceed expected cumulative earnings, the expected earnings are recognized in income. This is because the excess actual cumulative earnings over expected cumulative earnings, which represents undistributed accumulated earnings attributable to policyholders, is recorded as a policyholder dividend obligation. Therefore, the excess will be paid to closed block policyholders as an additional policyholder dividend expense in the future, unless it is otherwise offset by future performance of the closed block that is less favorable than originally expected. If actual cumulative performance is less favorable than expected, actual earnings will be recognized in income.

The principal cash flow items that affect the amount of closed block assets and liabilities are premiums, net investment income, purchases and sales of investments, policyholder benefits, policyholder dividends, premium taxes and income taxes. The principal income and expense items excluded from the closed block are management and maintenance expenses, commissions and net investment income and realized gains and losses on investments held outside of the closed block that support the closed block business, all of which enter into the determination of total gross margins of closed block policies. See Note 11 for further disclosure.

Separate Accounts

Separate account assets and liabilities represent contractholders’ funds that have been legally segregated into accounts with specific investment objectives. In the separate account, investment income and gains and losses on investments accrue directly to, and investment risk is borne by, the contractholder. Separate account assets are recorded at fair value, with the value of separate account liabilities set to equal the fair value of separate account assets. Separate account assets are primarily comprised of public, privately-registered and non-registered mutual funds, whose fair value is primarily based on the funds’ net asset value (“NAV”). Other separate account assets are recorded at fair value based on the methodology that is applicable to the underlying assets.

Federal Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income or loss in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under this method, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities due to a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce a deferred tax asset to the amount expected to be realized. Interest expense and any associated penalties which relate to tax years still subject to review by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) are recorded as income tax expenses.

The Company provides for federal income taxes based on amounts the Company believes it ultimately will owe. Inherent in the provision for federal income taxes are estimates regarding the deductibility of certain items and the realization of certain tax credits. In the event the ultimate deductibility of certain items or the realization of certain tax credits differs from estimates, the Company may be required to change the provision for federal income taxes recorded in the consolidated financial statements, which could be significant.

Tax reserves are reviewed regularly and are adjusted as events occur that the Company believes impact its liability for additional taxes, such as the lapsing of applicable statutes of limitations, conclusion of tax audits or substantial agreement with taxing authorities on the deductibility/nondeductibility of uncertain items, additional exposure based on current calculations, identification of new issues, release of administrative guidance or rendering of a court decision affecting a particular tax issue. The Company believes its tax reserves reasonably provide for potential assessments that may result from IRS examinations and other tax-related matters for all open tax years.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“the Act”) was signed into law and is effective January 1, 2018. Impacts to the Company include a reduction in the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, repeal of the corporate alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) and other changes to the corporate tax rules. Upon the enactment of these tax law changes, the Company remeasured deferred tax assets and liabilities and assessed its investment portfolio for impairment. As a result of the Act, the Company recognized $530 million of federal income tax benefit and immaterial net realized investment loss in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017. Additional provisions of the Act will apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, but were not effective as of the enactment date. Certain of these provisions, which include a reduced dividends received deduction, may adversely affect the Company’s future effective tax rate, taxable income and income tax expense.

Under the Act, the Company can continue to use AMT credit carryforwards to offset tax liability. To the extent that AMT credit carryovers exceed tax liabilities, 50% of the excess AMT credit carryovers are refundable prior to 2021. Any remaining AMT credits will be fully refundable in 2021. As a result, the Company has reclassified $253 million of AMT credit carryforwards, net of government fees of $11 million, as an income tax receivable.

The valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities related to life insurance reserves based on changes in the Act reflects the Company’s best estimates and assumptions at this time. The Company is in the process of finalizing inputs to these valuations, which includes further analysis on estimates within life insurance reserves; thus, the provisional measurements of deferred tax assets and liabilities are subject to change. These valuations will be finalized in 2018. The Company has recorded $134 million of provisional amounts in both deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. There is no impact to net deferred tax liabilities.

Refer to Note 7 and Note 14 for additional discussion on the impact of the Act on the Company’s investments and federal income taxes, respectively.

The Company files with the NMIC consolidated federal income tax return.

Participating Business

Participating business, which refers to policies that participate in profits through policyholder dividends, represented approximately 3% of the Company’s life insurance in force in 2017, 2016 and 2015 and 31% of the number of life insurance policies in force in 2017 (33% in 2016 and 35% in 2015). The provision for policyholder dividends was based on the respective year’s dividend scales and has been included in future policy benefits and claims in the consolidated balance sheets.

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events through February 28, 2018, the date the consolidated financial statements were issued.

 

(3) Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Adopted Accounting Standards

On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2015-09, Financial Services- Insurance: Disclosures about Short-Duration Contracts, which amends ASC 944, Financial Services-Insurance, on short duration insurance contracts. This guidance requires additional disclosures of disaggregated incurred and paid claims development information, as well as any significant changes in methodologies or assumptions and claims frequency. The adoption of this guidance had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2016-05, Derivatives and Hedging: Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships. The update clarifies that a change in the hedging derivative’s counterparty does not by itself trigger de-designation of a hedging relationship, provided that all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met. The adoption of this guidance had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2016-06, Derivatives and Hedging: Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments. The update clarifies that in assessing whether an embedded contingent put or call option is clearly and closely related to the debt host, an entity is required to perform only the four-step decision sequence as amended by the ASU. Consequently, the Company does not have to separately assess whether the event that triggers its ability to exercise the contingent option is itself indexed only to interest rates or credit risk. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2016-07, Equity Method and Joint Ventures: Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting. The update simplifies the equity method of accounting by eliminating the requirement to retrospectively apply the equity method to an investment that subsequently qualified for such accounting as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence. Consequently, when an investment qualifies for the equity method, the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee is added to the current basis of the investor’s previously held interest, and the equity method is applied subsequently from the date on which the investor obtains the ability to exercise significant influence over the investee. Unrealized holding gains or losses in AOCI related to an available-for-sale security that becomes eligible for the equity method are recognized in earnings as of the date on which the investment qualifies for the equity method. The adoption of this guidance had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2016-17, Interests Held through Related Parties That Are under Common Control. The update amends existing GAAP consolidations guidance by requiring a reporting entity to evaluate its indirect economic interest in a VIE held through a related party under common control on a proportionate basis. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On February 14, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which allows for the option to reclassify the stranded tax effects resulting from the Act from AOCI to retained earnings. The Company early adopted this guidance by applying a cumulative effect adjustment to the consolidated balance sheet, effective December 31, 2017. This resulted in an increase in AOCI of $232 million and a decrease in retained earnings of $232 million.

Pending Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amended guidance develops a single standard to recognize revenue when the identified performance obligation is satisfied. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Deferral of the Effective Date, which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year for all entities. In March, April and May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licenses, and ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, respectively. These amendments clarify guidance on transition, collectability, noncash consideration and the presentation of sales taxes and other similar taxes. In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amended guidance provides clarification and correction of unintended application of ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company will adopt ASU 2014-09, 2016-08, 2016-10, 2016-12 and 2016-20 for annual periods beginning January 1, 2018. Adoption of the above guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities. The amended guidance primarily affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. In addition, the FASB clarified guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. The Company will adopt the ASU for annual periods beginning January 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases Section A – Leases. The amended guidance introduces a new standard on leases that requires recognition of assets and liabilities arising from all leasing arrangements on the balance sheet. The Company will adopt the ASU for annual periods beginning January 1, 2019. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The guidance introduces a new approach for recognizing credit losses on financial instruments based on an estimate of current expected credit losses. It also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and provides for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. The Company will adopt the ASU for annual periods beginning January 1, 2020. The Company is currently in the process of determining the impact of adoption.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a Consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force). The amended guidance clarifies how certain transactions should be classified in the statement of cash flows. The Company will adopt the ASU for annual periods beginning January 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The amendments expand hedge accounting for nonfinancial and financial risk components and revise the measurement methodologies to better align with an organization’s risk management activities. In addition, the amendments reduce complexity by simplifying the manner in which assessments of hedge effectiveness may be performed. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and should be applied on a modified retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

 

(4) Business Combinations

On March 1, 2017 (“acquisition date”), the Company completed its acquisition of JNF. The Company acquired 100% of the stock of JNF for a total consideration of $201 million in cash. As a result of the acquisition, JNF and its subsidiaries became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Nationwide. JNF, based in Louisville, Kentucky, is a distributor of tax-advantaged investing solutions for registered investment advisors, fee-based advisors and the clients they serve. JNF’s wholly-owned subsidiaries include Jefferson National Life Insurance Company (“JNL”), Jefferson National Life Insurance Company of New York (“JNLNY”) and Jefferson National Securities Corporation (“JNSC”). JNL and JNLNY are licensed to underwrite both fixed and variable annuity products. JNSC is a registered broker-dealer.

The following table summarizes the consideration paid for JNF and the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:

As a result of the JNF acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill representing the excess of the fair value of consideration exchanged over the fair value of tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and separately identified intangible assets.

The determination of fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and purchase consideration reflects the

Company’s best estimates and assumptions. The Company is in the process of finalizing valuations of certain intangible assets as integration efforts of JNF are not yet completed; thus, the provisional measurements of intangible assets and goodwill are subject to change.

(5) Certain Long-Duration Contracts

Variable Annuity Contracts

The Company provides various forms of guarantees to benefit the related contractholders of variable annuity contracts issued through general and separate accounts. The primary guarantee types include GMDB and GLWB.

The GMDB, offered on variable annuity contracts, provides a specified minimum return upon death. Many of these death benefits are spousal, whereby a death benefit will be paid upon death of the first spouse. The survivor has the option to terminate the contract or continue it by having the death benefit paid into the contract and having a second death benefit paid upon the survivor’s death.

The GLWB, primarily offered in the Company’s Lifetime Income products, are living benefits that provide for enhanced retirement income security without the liquidity loss associated with annuitization. The withdrawal rates vary based on the age when withdrawals begin and are applied to a benefit base to determine the guaranteed lifetime income amount available to a contractholder. The benefit base is equal to the variable annuity premium at contract issuance and may increase as a result of a feature driven by minimum return and contract duration.

Other guarantee types the Company previously offered include guaranteed minimum accumulation benefits (“GMAB”) and guaranteed minimum income benefits (“GMIB”). The GMAB is a living benefit that provides the contractholder with a guaranteed return of deposits, adjusted proportionately for withdrawals, after a specified time period (5, 7 or 10 years). The GMIB is a living benefit that provides the contractholder with a guaranteed annuitization stream of income. The separate account value subject to GMAB was $291 million and $359 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The net amount at risk, general account value and reserve balances for GMAB were immaterial as of December 31, 2017 and 2016. The separate account value subject to GMIB was $355 million and $347 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The general account value subject to GMIB was $46 million and $47 million as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The net amount at risk and reserve balances for GMIB were immaterial as of December 31, 2017 and 2016. Paid claims for GMAB and GMIB were immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

The following table summarizes information regarding variable annuity contracts with GMDB and GLWB invested in general and separate accounts, as of the dates indicated (a contract may contain multiple guarantees):

Notes to December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 Consolidated Financial Statements

 

 

 

During 2017, the Company recognized an increase in the liability for future policy benefits and claims in conjunction with the annual comprehensive review of assumptions for guarantees on variable annuity contracts, primarily related to the Company’s assumptions related to expected policyholder behavior. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the updated assumptions resulted in an increase to life insurance benefits and claims of $32 million and lower amortization of DAC of $10 million.

During 2016, the Company recognized an increase in the liability for future policy benefits and claims in conjunction with the annual comprehensive review of assumptions for guarantees on variable annuity contracts, primarily related to the Company’s assumptions related to lapses, mortality, interest rates and market rates of return. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the updated assumptions resulted in an increase to life insurance benefits and claims of $62 million and lower amortization of DAC of $21 million.

During 2015, the Company recognized a net decrease in the liability for future policy benefits and claims in conjunction with the annual comprehensive review of assumptions, primarily related to the Company’s assumptions of participant benefit utilization of the net settlement option within the GLWB. The Company updated its estimate to reduce expected utilization of the net settlement option. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the change in estimate resulted in net realized investment gains of $187 million, an increase to life insurance benefits and claims of $164 million and lower amortization of DAC of $28 million.

Paid claims for GMDB were $14 million and $36 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Paid claims for GLWB were immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Fixed Indexed Annuity Contracts

The Company offers fixed indexed annuity products with an enhanced GMDB and GLWB. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the fixed indexed annuity general account value was $9.8 billion and $5.3 billion, respectively. This includes $351 million and $230 million of general account value relating to contracts with the enhanced GMDB and $3.7 billion and $2.5 billion of general account value relating to contracts with GLWB as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. These enhanced GMDB reserves were immaterial and GLWB reserves were $31 million and $19 million as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The net amount at risk for these guarantees was immaterial as of December 31, 2017 and 2016. Paid claims on contracts with these guarantees were immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

The Company conducts an annual comprehensive review of assumptions for fixed indexed annuity guarantees. For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the updated assumptions resulted in an immaterial change to life insurance benefits and claims and amortization of DAC.

Universal and Variable Universal Life Insurance Contracts

The Company offers certain universal and variable universal life insurance products with no-lapse guarantees. These no-lapse guarantees provide that a policy will not lapse so long as the policyholder makes minimum premium payments. The reserve balances on these guarantees were $915 million and $710 million as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Paid claims on these guarantees were immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

During 2017, the Company recognized an increase in the liability for future policy benefits and claims in conjunction with the annual comprehensive review of assumptions for universal and variable universal life insurance contracts with no-lapse guarantees, primarily related to the Company’s assumptions related to expected policyholder renewal premiums. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the updated assumptions resulted in an increase to life insurance benefits and claims of $42 million and lower amortization of DAC and other related balances of $22 million.

During 2016, the Company recognized an increase in the liability for future policy benefits and claims in conjunction with the annual comprehensive review of assumptions for the no-lapse guarantees, primarily related to the Company’s assumptions related to lapses, mortality and economic scenario expectations. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the updated assumptions resulted in an increase to life insurance benefits and claims of $21 million and lower amortization of DAC and other related balances of $9 million.

During 2015, the Company completed its annual comprehensive review of assumptions for universal and variable universal life insurance contracts with no-lapse guarantees. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the updated assumptions resulted in an immaterial change to life insurance benefits and claims and amortization of DAC and other related balances.

During 2017, the Company conducted its annual comprehensive review of model assumptions related to financial services operations used to project DAC and other related balances, including valuation of business acquired (“VOBA”) and unearned revenue reserves. As part of this review, the Company recognized a decrease in amortization for DAC of $69 million and a decrease in amortization for other related balances of $13 million. The updated assumptions were primarily related to favorable market rates of return and changes to expected future mortality. This was partially offset by updated assumptions for expected policyholder renewal premiums, persistency and lapse rates.

During 2016, the Company recognized an increase in amortization for DAC of $21 million and a decrease in amortization for other related balances of $75 million. The updated assumptions were primarily related to a decrease in expected lapse rates and mortality performance. This was partially offset by updated assumptions for persistency, interest rates and market rates of return.

During 2015, the Company recognized a decrease in amortization for DAC of $258 million and decrease in amortization for other related balances of $21 million. The updated assumptions were primarily related to revisions made to the Company’s economic hedging strategies in conjunction with the change in estimate to reduce expected utilization of the net settlement option, as well as a decrease in the expected lapse rates for certain variable annuity products.

The fair value of the Company’s available-for-sale securities may fluctuate significantly in response to changes in interest rates, investment quality ratings and credit spreads. The Company believes the unrealized losses on these available-for-sale securities represent temporary fluctuations in economic factors that are not indicative of OTTI. The Company has the ability and intent to hold equity securities until anticipated recovery and does not have the intent to sell, nor is it more likely than not that it will be required to sell, fixed maturity securities in an unrealized loss position.

(8) Derivative Instruments

The Company is exposed to certain risks related to its ongoing business operations which are managed using derivative instruments.

Interest rate risk management. In the normal course of business, the Company enters into transactions that expose the Company to interest rate risk arising from mismatches between assets and liabilities. The Company uses interest rate swaps and futures to reduce or alter interest rate exposure.

Interest rate contracts are used by the Company in association with fixed and variable rate investments to achieve cash flow streams that support certain financial obligations of the Company and to produce desired investment returns. As such, interest rate contracts are generally used to convert fixed rate cash flow streams to variable rate cash flow streams or vice versa. In addition, prior to expiry in June 2015, the Company engaged in an interest rate swap program, which was structured to provide an offset against the negative impact of higher interest rates on the Company’s statutory surplus position and to mitigate the negative impact of lower interest rates on certain guarantees related to variable annuity contracts.

Equity market risk management. The Company issues a variety of insurance products and annuity products with guarantees or indexed crediting features that expose the Company to equity risks. To mitigate these risks, the Company enters into a variety of derivatives including equity index futures, options and total return swaps.

Other risk management. As part of its regular investing activities, the Company may purchase foreign currency denominated investments. These investments and the associated income expose the Company to volatility associated with movements in foreign exchange rates. To mitigate this risk, the Company uses cross-currency swaps, which are included in derivatives designated and qualifying as hedging instruments in the following tables. As foreign exchange rates change, the increase or decrease in the cash flows of the derivative instrument are intended to mitigate the changes in the functional-currency equivalent cash flows of the hedged item.

Credit risk associated with derivatives transactions. The Company periodically evaluates the risks within the derivative portfolios due to credit exposure. When evaluating these risks, the Company considers several factors which include, but are not limited to, the counterparty credit risk associated with derivative receivables, the Company’s own credit as it relates to derivative payables, the collateral thresholds associated with each counterparty and changes in relevant market data in order to gain insight into the probability of default by the counterparty. The Company also considers the impact credit exposure could have on the effectiveness of the Company’s hedging relationships. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the impact of the exposure to credit risk on the fair value measurement of derivatives and the effectiveness of the Company’s hedging relationships was immaterial.

Included in total derivative losses for the year ended 2015 are economic hedging gains of $52 million related to the program that protected against the negative impact of higher interest rates on the Company’s statutory surplus position through expiry.
2 The annual comprehensive review of model assumptions for the individual variable annuity business produced an immaterial impact for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. The annual review produced a favorable impact for the year ended December 31, 2015, attributable to the change in estimate to reduce expected utilization of the net settlement option.

1 Net gains and losses included in operations are reported in net realized investment gains and losses and interest credited to policyholder accounts. The net unrealized losses on separate account assets are attributable to contractholders and therefore are not included in the Company’s earnings. The change in unrealized (losses) gains included in operations on assets and liabilities still held at the end of the year was $(638) million for future policy benefits and claims, $264 million for derivative assets, $(10) million for derivative liabilities and $(1) million for other investments at fair value.
2 Non-binding broker quotes were utilized to determine a fair value of $721 million of the total fixed maturity securities as of December 31, 2017.
3 Non-binding broker quotes were utilized to determine a fair value of all Level 3 derivative assets and liabilities.

Transfers into and out of Level 3 during the year ended December 31, 2017 are primarily due to the change in observability of pricing inputs used for certain corporate securities. There were no material transfers between Levels 1 and 2 during the year ended December 31, 2017.

Living Benefit Guarantees

The following table summarizes significant unobservable inputs used for fair value measurements for living benefits liabilities, included in future policy benefits and claims and classified as Level 3 as of December 31, 2017:

 

Unobservable Inputs

   Range

Mortality

   0.1% - 10%2

Lapse

   0% - 35%3

Wait period

   0 yrs - 30 yrs5

Efficiency of benefit utilization1

   60% - 100%6

Discount rate4

   See note 4 below

Index volatility

   15% - 25%

 

1 The unobservable input is not applicable to GMABs.
2 Represents the mortality for the majority of business with living benefits, with policyholder issue ages ranging from 45 to 85.
3 Certain scenarios could drive dynamic lapses outside of the specified range. The range shown represents lapses for the vast majority of scenarios.
4 Incorporates the liquidity and non-performance risk adjustment. The liquidity spread takes into consideration market observables for spreads in illiquid assets. The non-performance risk adjustment reflects an additional spread over LIBOR, determined by market observables for similarly rated public bonds.
5 A portion of the contractholders could never use the benefit, which would extend the range to an indeterminate period.
6 A portion of the contractholders could withdraw more than the benefit guarantee allows. For these policies, the excess withdrawals are assumed to be temporary before reverting back to 100% utilization.

The following changes in any of the significant unobservable inputs presented in the table above may result in a change in the fair value measurements of the living benefits liability:

Higher mortality rates tend to decrease the value of the liability and lower mortality rates tend to increase the value of the liability.

Higher lapse rates tend to decrease the value of the liability and lower lapse rates tend to increase the value of the liability. Factors that impact the predicted lapse rate can include: age, policy duration, policy size, benefit in-the-moneyness, tax status (i.e. qualified or non-qualified), interest rate levels, short-term equity market performance, partial withdrawal behavior and applicable surrender charges. All else being equal, policies that are in-the-money will have lower lapse rates than policies that are out-of-the-money, and policies that have a surrender charge present will have lower lapse rates than policies without a surrender charge.

The assumed wait period and the efficiency of utilization determine the timing and amount of living benefits withdrawals. These assumptions vary by the product type, age of the policyholder, policy size and policy duration. Many products have a bonus feature which enhances the guarantee on every policy anniversary for the first ten years, so long as withdrawals have not commenced. All else being equal, policies commencing withdrawals at a time around the year ten bonus will have higher liability values than policies commencing withdrawals 20 years after issue or policies commencing withdrawals only one year after issue. In addition, policies that are assumed to withdraw the maximum permitted amount will have a higher liability value than a policy that is assumed to withdraw less than the maximum allowed amount.

A higher discount rate tends to decrease the value of the liability and a lower discount rate tends to increase the value of the liability.

Higher index volatility tends to increase the value of the liability and lower index volatility tends to decrease the value of the liability.

Indexed Products

The following table summarizes significant unobservable inputs used for fair value measurements for indexed universal life and indexed annuity products classified as Level 3 as of December 31, 2017:

 

Unobservable Inputs

   Range

Mortality

   0% - 5%¹

Lapse

   0% - 10%

Index volatility

   15% - 25%2

 

1 Represents the mortality for the majority of business, with policyholder issue ages ranging from 0 to 80.
2 Certain managed volatility indices utilize a 5% index volatility.

The following changes in any of the significant unobservable inputs presented in the table above may result in a change in the fair value measurements of the indexed products:

Higher mortality rates tend to decrease the value of the liability and lower mortality rates tend to increase the value of the liability.

Higher lapse rates tend to decrease the value of the liability and lower lapse rates tend to increase the value of the liability. Factors that impact the predicted lapse rate can include: age, policy duration, policy size, and applicable surrender charges. All else being equal, policies with a surrender charge present will have lower lapse rates than policies without a surrender charge.

Higher index volatility tends to increase the value of the liability and lower index volatility tends to decrease the value of the liability.

1 Net gains and losses included in operations are reported in net realized investment gains and losses and interest credited to policyholder accounts. The net unrealized gains on separate account assets are attributable to contractholders and therefore are not included in the Company’s earnings. The change in unrealized gains (losses) included in operations on assets and liabilities still held at the end of the year was $(157) million for future policy benefits and claims, $145 million for derivative assets, and $(4) million for derivative liabilities and $(2) million for other investments at fair value.
2 Non-binding broker quotes were utilized to determine a fair value of $1.0 billion of total fixed maturity securities as of December 31, 2016.
3 Non-binding broker quotes were utilized to determine a fair value of all Level 3 derivative assets and liabilities.
4 Certain prior period amounts related to separate account assets that use NAV as a practical expedient to estimate fair value have changed to conform with the current period presentation as a result of new guidance.

Transfers into and out of Level 3 during the year ended December 31, 2016 are primarily due to the change in the observability of pricing inputs used for certain corporate securities. There were no material transfers between Levels 1 and 2 during the year ended December 31, 2016.

Mortgage loans, net of allowance. The fair values of mortgage loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on interest rates currently being offered for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings.

Policy loans. The carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value as policy loans are fully collateralized by the cash surrender value of underlying insurance policies.

Other investments. Other investments not held at fair value consist of FHLB stock. The carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value due to ownership restrictions and lack of market.

Notes to December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 Consolidated Financial Statements

 

 

 

Investment contracts. For investment contracts without defined maturities, fair value is the amount payable on demand, net of surrender charges. For investment contracts with known or determined maturities, fair value is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis. Interest rates used in this analysis are similar to currently offered contracts with maturities consistent with those remaining for the contracts being valued. The fair value of adjustable rate contracts approximates their carrying value.

Short-term debt. The carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of this debt instrument.

Long-term debt. The fair values for long-term debt are based on estimated market prices using observable inputs from similar debt instruments.

(12) Short-Term Debt

The Company classifies debt as short-term if the maturity date at inception is less than one year.

In December 2015, the Company renewed an agreement to increase its $600 million commercial paper program to $750 million. The Company had no amounts outstanding under the agreement as of December 31, 2017 and had $300 million outstanding as of December 31, 2016, which had a weighted average interest rate of 0.72%.

In April 2017, the Company renewed an agreement with the FHLB to extend its ability to borrow in order to provide financing for operations. This extension, which expires on March 23, 2018, allows the Company access to borrow up to $250 million, which would be collateralized by pledged securities, at a borrowing rate set by the FHLB. The Company had $6.5 billion and $6.1 billion in eligible collateral and no amounts outstanding under the agreement as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

In April 2015, NMIC and the Company replaced their previous $600 million revolving credit facility with a new credit facility of $750 million and a borrowing rate of 0.785% plus a U.S. LIBOR rate, which is based on the repayment date of the draw, which expires on April 2, 2020. The Company had no amounts outstanding under this agreement as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.

The Company has entered into an agreement with its custodial bank to borrow against the cash collateral that is posted in connection with its securities lending program. The maximum amount available under the agreement is $350 million. The borrowing rate on this program is equal to the one-month U.S. LIBOR. The Company had no amounts outstanding under this agreement as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.

The amount of interest paid on short-term debt was immaterial in 2017, 2016 and 2015.

As of December 31, 2017, the Company has gross federal net operating losses of $17 million, which expire between 2018 and 2037. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had $307 million in low-income-housing credit carryforwards, which expire between 2024 and 2037. In addition, the Company had $43 million in foreign tax credit carryforwards which expire between 2024 and 2026. The Company expects to fully utilize all carryforwards.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion of the total gross deferred tax assets will not be realized. Based on the Company’s analysis, it is more likely than not that the results of future operations and the implementation of tax planning strategies will generate sufficient taxable income to enable the Company to realize the deferred tax assets for which the Company has not established valuation allowances.

(15) Statutory Financial Information

Statutory Results

The Company’s life insurance subsidiaries prepare their statutory financial statements in conformity with the statutory accounting practices prescribed and permitted by insurance regulatory authorities, subject to any deviations prescribed or permitted by the applicable state departments of insurance.

Olentangy was granted a permitted practice from the Commissioner of Insurance of the State of Vermont allowing Olentangy to carry the assets placed in a trust account by Union Hamilton Reinsurance Ltd. and held for the benefit of the ceding insurer under a reinsurance agreement on its statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities and surplus at net admitted asset value with the offset to surplus. In 2017, this permitted practice increased NLAIC’s valuation of this subsidiary by $56 million and did not have an impact on NLIC’s admitted deferred tax assets. In 2016, this permitted practice increased NLAIC’s valuation of this subsidiary by $56 million, and also raised NLIC’s admitted deferred tax assets by $8 million.

Eagle applies a prescribed practice from the State of Ohio that allows an alternative reserve basis on assumed liabilities, net of third party reinsurance, with respect to specified GMDB and GLWB obligations provided under substantially all of the variable annuity contracts issued and to be issued by NLIC. In 2017, this prescribed practice decreased NLIC’s valuation of this subsidiary by $184 million and did not have an impact on NLIC’s admitted deferred tax assets. In 2016, this prescribed practice decreased NLIC’s valuation of this subsidiary by $97 million, and also reduced NLIC’s admitted deferred tax assets by $15 million.

Statutory accounting practices focus on insurer solvency and differ materially from GAAP primarily due to charging policy acquisition and other costs to expense as incurred, establishing future policy benefits and claims reserves based on different actuarial assumptions, excluding certain assets from statutory admitted assets, and valuing investments and establishing deferred taxes on a different basis.

The following table summarizes the statutory capital and surplus for the Company’s primary life insurance subsidiaries for the years ended:

Dividend Restrictions

The payment of dividends by NLIC is subject to restrictions set forth in the insurance laws and regulations of the State of Ohio, its domiciliary state. The State of Ohio insurance laws require Ohio-domiciled life insurance companies to notify the Ohio Superintendent of Insurance of all dividends prior to payment, and they must seek prior regulatory approval to pay a dividend or distribute cash or other property if the fair market value thereof, together with that of other dividends or distributions made in the preceding twelve months, exceeds the greater of (1) 10% of statutory-basis policyholders’ surplus as of the prior December 31 or (2) the statutory-basis net income of the insurer as of the prior December 31. During the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 NLIC did not pay any dividends to NFS. As of January 1, 2018, NLIC has the ability to pay dividends to NFS totaling $1.0 billion without obtaining prior approval.

The State of Ohio insurance laws also require insurers to seek prior regulatory approval for any dividend paid from other than earned surplus. Earned surplus is defined under the State of Ohio insurance laws as the amount equal to the Company’s unassigned funds as set forth in its most recent statutory financial statements, including net unrealized capital gains and losses or revaluation of assets. Additionally, following any dividend, an insurer’s policyholder surplus must be reasonable in relation to the insurer’s outstanding liabilities and adequate for its financial needs. The payment of dividends by the Company may also be subject to restrictions set forth in the insurance laws of the State of New York that limit the amount of statutory profits on the Company’s participating policies (measured before dividends to policyholders) available for the benefit of the Company and its stockholders.

The Company currently does not expect such regulatory requirements to impair the ability to pay operating expenses and dividends in the future.

Regulatory Risk-Based Capital

The National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ (“NAIC”) Risk-Based Capital (“RBC”) model law requires every insurer to calculate its total adjusted capital and RBC requirement to ensure insurer solvency. Regulatory guidelines provide for an insurance commissioner to intervene if the insurer experiences financial difficulty, as evidenced by a company’s total adjusted capital falling below established relationships to required RBC. The model includes components for asset risk, liability risk, interest rate exposure and other factors. The State of Ohio imposes minimum RBC requirements that are developed by the NAIC. The formulas in the model for determining the amount of RBC specify various weighting factors that are applied to financial balances or various levels of activity, based on the perceived degree of risk. Regulatory compliance is determined by a ratio of total adjusted capital to authorized control level RBC, as defined by the NAIC. Companies below specific trigger points or ratios are classified within certain levels, all of which require specified corrective action. NLIC, NLAIC, JNL, JNLNY, Olentangy and Eagle each exceeded the minimum RBC requirements for all periods presented.

 

(16) Related Party Transactions

The Company has entered into significant, recurring transactions and agreements with NMIC, other affiliates and subsidiaries as a part of its ongoing operations. These include annuity and life insurance contracts, agreements related to reinsurance, cost sharing, tax sharing, administrative services, marketing, intercompany loans, intercompany repurchases, cash management services, investment management and software licensing. In addition, employees of the Company participate in several benefit plans sponsored by NMIC, for which the Company has no legal obligations. Measures used to allocate expenses among companies include individual employee estimates of time spent, special cost studies, claims counts, policies in force, direct written premium, paid losses, pro rate share of employees or their salaries, the number of full-time employees, commission expense and other methods agreed to by the participating companies.

Effective January 1, 2015, the Company became party to a revised tax sharing agreement that reflects the new NMIC consolidated federal return group, which includes its eligible life and non-life insurance company subsidiaries. The method of allocation among the companies is based upon separate return calculations with current benefit for tax losses and credits utilized in the consolidated return.

In addition, Nationwide Services Company, LLC (“NSC”), a subsidiary of NMIC, provides data processing, systems development, hardware and software support, telephone, mail and other services to the Company, based on specified rates for units of service consumed pursuant to the enterprise cost sharing agreement. For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company was allocated costs from NMIC and NSC totaling $324 million, $277 million and $289 million, respectively.

Under the enterprise cost sharing agreement, the Company has an arrangement with NMIC to occupy office space. The Company made payments under the cost sharing agreement to NMIC of $17 million, $19 million and $18 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The Company has issued group annuity and life insurance contracts and performs administrative services for various employee benefit plans sponsored by NMIC or its affiliates. Total account values of these contracts were $3.4 billion as of December 31, 2017 and 2016. Total revenues from these contracts were $125 million, $127 million and $129 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and include policy charges, net investment income from investments backing the contracts and administrative fees. Total interest credited to the account balances was $111 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, and $106 million for the year ended December 31, 2015.

The Company may underwrite insurance policies for its employees, officers and/or directors. The Company may offer discounts on certain products that are subject to applicable state insurance laws and approvals.

NLIC has a reinsurance agreement with NMIC whereby all of NLIC’s accident and health business not ceded to unaffiliated reinsurers is ceded to NMIC on a modified coinsurance basis. Either party may terminate the agreement on January 1 of any year with prior notice. Under a modified coinsurance agreement, the ceding company retains invested assets, and investment earnings are paid to the reinsurer. Under the terms of NLIC’s agreements, the investment risk associated with changes in interest rates is borne by the reinsurer. The ceding of risk does not discharge the original insurer from its primary obligation to the policyholder. Revenues ceded to NMIC were $158 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 and $209 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, while benefits, claims and expenses ceded during these years were $108 million, $185 million and $207 million, respectively.

Funds of Nationwide Funds Group (“NFG”), a group of Nationwide businesses that develops, sells and services mutual funds, are offered to the Company’s customers as investment options in certain of the Company’s products. As of December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, customer allocations to NFG funds totaled $66.7 billion, $61.4 billion and $59.1 billion, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, NFG paid the Company $221 million, $199 million and $196 million, respectively, for the distribution and servicing of these funds.

Amounts on deposit with NCMC for the benefit of the Company were $1.0 billion and $899 million as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Nationwide Bank has a line of credit agreement with NLIC that allows the Bank access to borrow up to $50 million from NLIC. The borrowing rate on the line of credit is equal to the daily Prime Rate. The Bank had no amounts outstanding under this agreement as of December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015.

Certain annuity products are sold through affiliated companies, which are also subsidiaries of NFS. Total commissions and fees paid to these affiliates were $72 million, $65 million and $63 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The Company provides financing to Nationwide Realty Investors, LTD, a subsidiary of NMIC. As of December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company had notes receivable outstanding of $313 million, $332 million and $238 million, respectively.

(17) Contingencies

Legal and Regulatory Matters

The Company is subject to legal and regulatory proceedings in the ordinary course of its business. These include proceedings specific to the Company and proceedings generally applicable to business practices in the industries in which the Company operates. The outcomes of these proceedings cannot be predicted due to their complexity, scope, and many uncertainties. The Company believes, however, that based on currently known information, the ultimate outcome of all pending legal and regulatory proceedings is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position. The Company maintains Professional Liability Insurance and Director and Officer Liability insurance policies that may cover losses for certain legal and regulatory proceedings. The Company will make adequate provision for any probable and reasonably estimable recoveries, under such policies, in accordance with applicable accounting rules.

The various businesses conducted by the Company are subject to oversight by numerous federal and state regulatory entities, including but not limited to the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the Department of Labor, the IRS, the Federal Reserve Bank and state insurance authorities. Such regulatory entities may, in the normal course, be engaged in general or targeted inquiries, examinations and investigations of the Company and/or its affiliates. With respect to all such scrutiny directed at the Company or its affiliates, the Company is cooperating with regulators. The Company will cooperate with its ultimate parent company, NMIC insofar as any inquiry, examination, or investigation encompasses NMIC’s operations. In addition, recent regulatory activity, including state and federal regulatory activity related to fiduciary standards, may impact the Company’s business and operations, and certain estimates and assumptions used by the Company in determining the amounts presented in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions.

Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Company provides standard indemnifications to contractual counterparties. The types of indemnifications typically provided include breaches of representations and warranties, taxes and certain other liabilities, such as third party lawsuits. The indemnification clauses are often standard contractual terms and are entered into in the normal course of business with various third parties based on an assessment that the risk of loss would be remote. The terms of the indemnifications vary in duration and nature. In many cases, the maximum obligation is not explicitly stated, and the contingencies triggering the obligation to indemnify have not occurred and are not expected to occur. Consequently, the amount of the obligation under such indemnifications is not determinable. Historically, the Company has not made any material payments pursuant to these obligations.

(19) Segment Information

Management views the Company’s business primarily based on its underlying products and uses this basis to define its business segments. During the 2017 second quarter, the Company reorganized its business segments based on the internally-aligned segment leadership structure, which is how the Company monitors results and assesses performance. The Company now has three reportable segments: Individual Products & Solutions (“IPS”), Retirement Plans and Corporate and Other. All prior period business segment results have been updated to conform to the current period presentation.

The primary segment profitability measure that management uses is a financial measure called pre-tax operating earnings (loss), which is calculated by adjusting income before federal income taxes to exclude: (1) certain changes in variable annuity liabilities and net realized investment gains and losses, except for operating items, such as trading portfolio realized gains and losses, trading portfolio valuation changes and net realized gains and losses related to certain product hedges; (2) the adjustment to amortization of DAC related to certain changes in variable annuity liabilities and net realized investment gains and losses; and (3) net losses attributable to noncontrolling interest. The Company believes this financial measure enhances the understanding and comparability of its performance by highlighting its results from continuing operations and their underlying profit drivers.

Individual Products and Solutions

IPS offers the following products: individual deferred annuity contracts, immediate annuities, and various life insurance products. Individual deferred annuity contracts offered consist of deferred variable annuity contracts, deferred fixed annuity contracts and deferred fixed indexed annuity contracts. Deferred annuity contracts provide the customer with tax-deferred accumulation of savings and flexible payout options including lump sum, systematic withdrawal or a stream of payments for life. In addition, deferred variable annuity contracts provide the customer with access to a wide range of investment options and asset protection features. Deferred fixed annuity contracts offered by the Company generate a return for the customer at a specified interest rate fixed for prescribed periods, while deferred fixed indexed annuity contracts generate a return for the customer based on market performance with caps and floors. Immediate annuities differ from deferred annuities in that the initial premium is exchanged for a stream of income for a certain period and/or for the owner’s lifetime without future access to the original investment. The various life insurance products offered consist of individual variable universal life, COLI and BOLI products, traditional life insurance products, fixed universal life insurance products and indexed universal life insurance products. Life insurance products provide a death benefit and, for certain products, allow the customer to build cash value on a tax-advantaged basis.

Retirement Plans

The Retirement Plans segment is comprised of the private and public sector retirement plans businesses. The private sector business primarily includes Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 401 qualified plans funded through fixed and variable group annuity contracts issued through NLIC. The public sector business primarily includes IRC Section 457 (b) and Section 401(a) governmental plans, both in the form of full-service arrangements that provide plan administration along with fixed and variable group annuities, as well as administration-only business. Across the public and private sector business NIA managed account services are also available. The Retirement Plans segment also includes stable value wrap products and solutions.

Corporate and Other

The Corporate and Other segment includes certain non-operating changes in variable annuity liabilities and non-operating realized gains and losses, related amortization and other revenues and expenses not allocated to other segments. Additionally, this segment includes the funding agreements with the FHLB.

Item 29. Indemnification
Provision is made in Nationwide’s Amended and Restated Code of Regulations and expressly authorized by the General Corporation Law of the State of Ohio, for indemnification by Nationwide of any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer or employee of Nationwide, against expenses, including attorneys fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, to the extent and under the circumstances permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Ohio.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 ("Act") may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling Nationwide pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Nationwide has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
