PLATINUM INVESTOR(R) III
FLEXIBLE PREMIUM VARIABLE
UNIVERSAL LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES
(the "Policies") issued by
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
("AGL") through its Separate Account VL-R
THIS PROSPECTUS IS DATED
MAY 1, 2015
This prospectus describes Platinum Investor III flexible premium variable
universal life insurance Policies issued by AGL. Platinum Investor III Policies
provide life insurance coverage with flexibility in death benefits, PREMIUM
PAYMENTS and INVESTMENT OPTIONS. During the lifetime of the INSURED PERSON you
may designate or change the BENEFICIARY to whom Platinum Investor III pays the
DEATH BENEFIT upon the insured person's death. You choose one of three death
benefit options. We guarantee a death benefit if the MONTHLY GUARANTEE PREMIUM
is paid and your Policy has not lapsed. AGL no longer sells Platinum
Investor III Policies.
For information on how to contact AGL, please see "CONTACT INFORMATION" page 5.
The Index of Special Words and Phrases on page 60 will refer you to pages that
contain more about many of the words and phrases that we use. All of the words
and phrases listed in the Index will be underlined and written in BOLD the
first time they appear in this prospectus.
This prospectus generally describes only the variable portions of the Policy,
except where the FIXED ACCOUNT is specifically mentioned. Please read this
prospectus carefully and keep it for future reference.
The AGL declared fixed interest account ("Fixed Account") is the fixed
investment option for these Policies. You can also use AGL's SEPARATE ACCOUNT
VL-R ("Separate Account") to invest in the Platinum Investor III VARIABLE
INVESTMENT OPTIONS. Currently, the Platinum Investor III variable investment
options each purchase shares of a corresponding FUND of:
. AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds)
("Invesco V.I.")
. The Alger Portfolios ("Alger")
. American Century(R) Variable Portfolios, Inc. ("American Century(R) VP")
. Fidelity(R) Variable Insurance Products ("Fidelity(R) VIP")
. Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust ("Franklin
Templeton VIP")
. Janus Aspen Series ("Janus Aspen")
. JPMorgan Insurance Trust ("JPMorgan IT")
. MFS(R) Variable Insurance Trust ("MFS(R) VIT")
. Neuberger Berman Advisers Management Trust ("Neuberger Berman AMT")
. Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds ("Oppenheimer")
. PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust ("PIMCO")
. Pioneer Variable Contracts Trust ("Pioneer")
. Putnam Variable Trust ("Putnam VT")
. SunAmerica Series Trust ("SunAmerica ST")
. VALIC Company I ("VALIC Co. I")
. Vanguard(R) Variable Insurance Fund ("Vanguard VIF")
See "Variable Investment Options" on page 20 for a complete list of the
variable investment options and the respective advisers and sub-advisers of the
corresponding Funds. You should also read the prospectuses of the Funds
underlying the variable investment options that may interest you. You can
request free copies from your AGL representative or from our ADMINISTRATIVE
CENTER shown under "Contact Information" on page 5.
THERE IS NO GUARANTEED CASH SURRENDER VALUE FOR AMOUNTS ALLOCATED TO THE
VARIABLE INVESTMENT OPTIONS.
IF THE CASH SURRENDER VALUE (THE CASH VALUE REDUCED BY ANY LOAN BALANCE) IS
INSUFFICIENT TO COVER THE CHARGES DUE UNDER THE POLICY, THE POLICY MAY
TERMINATE WITHOUT VALUE.
BUYING THIS POLICY MIGHT NOT BE A GOOD WAY OF REPLACING YOUR EXISTING INSURANCE
OR ADDING MORE INSURANCE IF YOU ALREADY OWN A FLEXIBLE PREMIUM VARIABLE
UNIVERSAL LIFE INSURANCE POLICY. YOU MAY WISH TO CONSULT WITH YOUR INSURANCE
REPRESENTATIVE OR FINANCIAL ADVISER.
NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION ("SEC") NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES
COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED THESE SECURITIES OR PASSED UPON THE
ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS
A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
THE POLICIES ARE NOT INSURED BY THE FDIC, THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD OR ANY
SIMILAR AGENCY. THEY ARE NOT A DEPOSIT OR OTHER OBLIGATION OF, NOR ARE THEY
GUARANTEED OR ENDORSED BY, ANY BANK OR DEPOSITORY INSTITUTION. AN INVESTMENT IN
A VARIABLE UNIVERSAL LIFE INSURANCE POLICY IS SUBJECT TO INVESTMENT RISKS,
INCLUDING POSSIBLE LOSS OF PRINCIPAL INVESTED.
THE POLICIES ARE NOT AVAILABLE IN ALL STATES. THIS PROSPECTUS DOES NOT OFFER
THE POLICIES IN ANY JURISDICTION WHERE THEY CANNOT BE LAWFULLY SOLD. YOU SHOULD
RELY ONLY ON THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS PROSPECTUS, OR ON SALES
MATERIALS WE HAVE APPROVED OR THAT WE HAVE REFERRED YOU TO. WE HAVE NOT
AUTHORIZED ANYONE TO PROVIDE YOU WITH INFORMATION THAT IS DIFFERENT.

POLICY BENEFITS/RISKS SUMMARY
This summary describes the Policy's important benefits and risks. The
sections in this prospectus following this summary discuss the Policy's
benefits and other provisions in more detail.
AGL no longer sells Platinum Investor III Policies.
POLICY BENEFITS
During the insured person's lifetime, you may, within limits, (1) change the
amount of insurance, (2) borrow or withdraw amounts you have invested,
(3) choose when and how much you invest, (4) choose whether your ACCUMULATION
VALUE or amount of premiums under your Policy, upon the insured person's death,
will be added to the insurance proceeds we otherwise will pay to the
beneficiary, and (5) add or delete certain other optional benefits that we make
available by rider to your Policy. At the time of purchase, you can decide
whether your Policy will be subject to certain tax rules that maximize the cash
value or rules that maximize the insurance coverage.
You may currently allocate your accumulation value among up to 57 variable
investment options available under the Policy, each of which invests in an
underlying fund (each available portfolio is referred to in this prospectus as
a "Fund," and collectively, the "Funds"), and the Fixed Account, which credits
a specified rate of interest.
Any Policy owner whose Policy was issued before May 1, 2006 may invest in 10
investment options that are not available to any other Policy owners. There are
restrictions on the use of four additional investment options. See "Variable
Investment Options" on page 20.
Your accumulation value will vary based on the investment performance of the
variable investment options you choose and interest credited in the Fixed
Account.
YOUR SPECIFIED AMOUNT
In your application to buy a Platinum Investor III Policy, you tell us how
much life insurance coverage you want. We call this the "SPECIFIED AMOUNT" of
insurance. The Policy is available for specified amounts of $50,000 or more.
The specified amount consists of what we refer to as "BASE COVERAGE" plus any
"SUPPLEMENTAL COVERAGE" you select. You decide how much base coverage and
supplemental coverage you want. Base coverage must be at least 10% of the
specified amount. We pay compensation to your insurance agent's broker-dealer
for the sale of both base and supplemental coverages. We pay a different level
of compensation based on the amounts of base and supplemental coverages you
select. See "Base coverage and supplemental coverage" on page 28.
DEATH BENEFIT
.. Death Benefit Proceeds: We pay the death benefit proceeds (reduced by any
outstanding POLICY LOANS and increased by any unearned LOAN INTEREST) to
the beneficiary when the insured person dies. We provide a guarantee of a
death benefit, contingent upon payment of the required premiums, equal to
the specified amount (less any indebtedness) and any applicable benefit
riders for a specified period. This guarantee is not applicable if your
Policy has lapsed.
.. Death Benefit Option 1, Option 2 and Option 3: Owners whose Policies were
issued before June 1, 2002 could choose only death benefit OPTION 1 or
death benefit OPTION 2. You can choose death benefit Option 1 or Option 2
at the time of your application or at any later time before the death of
the insured person. You can choose death benefit OPTION 3 only at the time
of your application. You must choose one of the three Options when you
apply for your Policy.
6
. Death Benefit Option 1 is the specified amount on the date of the
insured person's death.
. Death Benefit Option 2 is the sum of (a) the specified amount on the
date of the insured person's death and (b) the Policy's accumulation
value as of the date of death.
. Death Benefit Option 3 is the sum of (a) the death benefit we would pay
under Option 1 and (b) the cumulative amount of premiums you paid for
the Policy and any riders. The death benefit payable will be reduced by
any amounts waived under the Waiver of Monthly Deduction Rider and any
PARTIAL SURRENDERS. Additional premiums you pay for the Policy and any
riders following a partial surrender are not considered part of the
"cumulative amount of premiums you paid" until the total value of the
premiums paid is equivalent to or greater than the amount surrendered.
Federal tax law may require us to increase the death benefit under any of
the above death benefit Options. See "REQUIRED MINIMUM DEATH BENEFIT" on
page 27.
FULL SURRENDERS, PARTIAL SURRENDERS, TRANSFERS, AND POLICY LOANS
.. Full Surrenders: At any time while the Policy is in force, you may
SURRENDER your Policy in full. If you do, we will pay you the accumulation
value, less any Policy loans, plus any unearned loan interest, and less any
surrender charge that then applies. We call this amount your "CASH
SURRENDER VALUE." You cannot REINSTATE a surrendered Policy. A full
surrender may have adverse tax consequences.
.. Partial Surrenders: You may, at any time after the first POLICY YEAR, make
a partial surrender of your Policy's cash surrender value. A partial
surrender must be at least $500. We do not allow partial surrenders that
would reduce the death benefit below $50,000. A partial surrender is also
subject to any surrender charge that then applies. A partial surrender may
have adverse tax consequences.
.. Transfers: Within certain limits, you may make TRANSFERS among the variable
investment options and the Fixed Account. You may make up to twelve
transfers of accumulation value among the variable investment options in
each Policy year without charge. We will assess a $25 charge for each
transfer after the 12th transfer in a Policy year. There are special limits
on transfers involving the Fixed Account.
.. Policy Loans: You may take a loan from your Policy at any time. The maximum
loan amount you may take is equal to your Policy's cash surrender value
less the loan interest that will be payable on your loan to your next
Policy anniversary. The minimum loan you may take is $500 or, if less, an
amount equal to your Policy's cash surrender value less the loan interest
payable to your next Policy anniversary. We charge you interest on your
loan at an annual effective rate of 4.75%, which is equal to 4.54% payable
in advance. We credit interest monthly on loaned amounts; we guarantee an
annual effective interest rate of 4.00%. After the tenth Policy year, you
may take a PREFERRED LOAN from your Policy. You may increase your risk of
LAPSE if you take a loan. Loans may have adverse tax consequences.
PREMIUMS
.. Flexibility of Premiums: After you pay the initial premium, you can pay
premiums at any time (prior to the Policy's MATURITY) and in any amount
less than the maximum amount allowed under tax laws. You can select a
premium payment plan to pay "PLANNED PERIODIC PREMIUMS" monthly, quarterly,
semiannually, or annually. You are not required to pay premiums according
to the plan. You may also choose to have premiums automatically deducted
from your bank account or other source under
7
our automatic payment plan. Under certain circumstances, we may limit the
amount of a premium payment or reject a premium payment.
. Free Look: When you receive your Policy, the FREE LOOK period begins.
You may return your Policy during this period and receive a refund. We
will refund the greater of (i) any premium payments received by us or
(ii) your accumulation value plus any charges that have been deducted
prior to allocation to your specified investment options. The free look
period generally expires 10 days after you receive the Policy.
THE POLICY
.. Ownership Rights: While the insured person is living, you, as the owner of
the Policy, may exercise all of the rights and options described in the
Policy. These rights include selecting and changing the beneficiary,
changing the owner, and assigning the Policy.
.. Separate Account: You may direct the money in your Policy to any of the
available variable investment options of the Separate Account. Each
variable investment option invests exclusively in one of the Funds listed
in this prospectus. The value of your investment in a variable investment
option depends on the investment results of the related Fund. We do not
guarantee any minimum cash value for amounts allocated to the variable
investment options. If the Fund investments go down, the value of a Policy
can decline.
.. Fixed Account: You may place amounts in the Fixed Account where it earns
interest at the rate of 4% annually. We may declare higher rates of
interest, but are not obligated to do so.
.. Accumulation Value: Your accumulation value is the sum of your amounts in
the variable investment options and the Fixed Account. Accumulation value
varies from day to day, depending on the investment performance of the
variable investment options you choose, interest we credit to the Fixed
Account, charges we deduct, and any other transactions (e.g., transfers,
partial surrenders and loans).
.. Payment Options: There are several ways of receiving proceeds under the
death benefit, surrender, and maturity provisions of the Policy, other than
in a lump sum. More detailed information concerning these PAYMENT OPTIONS
is available on request from our Administrative Center shown under "Contact
Information" on page 5. Also see "Payment Options" on page 44.
.. Tax Benefits: The Policy is designed to afford the tax treatment normally
accorded life insurance contracts under federal tax law. Generally, under
federal tax law, the death benefit under a qualifying life insurance policy
is excludable from the gross income of the beneficiary. In addition, this
means that under a qualifying life insurance policy, cash value builds up
on a tax deferred basis and transfers of cash value among the available
investment options under the policy may be made tax free. Under a
qualifying life insurance policy that is not a MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACT
("MEC"), the proceeds from Policy loans would not be taxed. If the Policy
is not a MEC, distributions after the 15/th/ Policy year generally will be
treated first as a return of BASIS or investment in the Policy and then as
taxable income. Moreover, loans will generally not be treated as
distributions. Finally, neither distributions nor loans from a Policy that
is not a MEC are subject to the 10% penalty tax.
SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFITS AND RIDERS
You may be eligible to add additional rider benefits to your Policy. We
offer several riders that provide supplemental benefits under the Policy, such
as the Accidental Death Benefit Rider, which provides an additional death
benefit payable if the insured person dies from bodily injury that results from
an accident. For most of the riders that you choose, a charge, which is shown
on page 3 of your Policy, will be deducted from your accumulation value on each
monthly deduction day. Eligibility for and changes in these benefits
8
are subject to our rules and procedures as well as Internal Revenue Service
guidance and rules that pertain to the Code's definition of life insurance in
effect from time to time. Not all riders are available in all states.

The Policy is not suitable as a short-term investment. We designed the
Policy to meet long-term financial goals. In the Policy's early years, if the
total charges exceed total premiums paid or if your investment choices perform
poorly, your Policy may not have any cash surrender value. The surrender charge
is large enough in the Policy's early years so that if you fully surrender your
Policy you may receive no cash surrender value. If you take multiple partial
surrenders, your accumulation value may not cover required charges and your
Policy would lapse.
If you invest your accumulation value in one or more variable investment
options, then you will be subject to the risk that investment performance will
be unfavorable. You will also be subject to the risk that the accumulation
value will decrease because of the unfavorable performance and the resulting
higher insurance charges. You could lose everything you invest. You will also
be subject to the risk that the investment performance of the variable
investment options you choose may be less favorable than that of other variable
investment options, and in order to keep the Policy in force may be required to
pay more premiums than originally planned. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE A MINIMUM
ACCUMULATION VALUE.
If you allocate net premiums to the Fixed Account, then we credit your
accumulation value (in the Fixed Account) with a declared rate of interest, but
you assume the risk that the rate may decrease, although it will never be lower
than a guaranteed minimum annual effective rate of 4%.
RISK OF LAPSE
If your cash surrender value is not enough to pay the charges deducted
against your accumulation value each month, your Policy may enter a 61-day
GRACE PERIOD. We will notify you that the Policy will lapse (terminate without
value) at the end of the grace period unless you make a sufficient payment.
Your Policy may also lapse if outstanding Policy loans plus any accrued
interest payable exceeds the cash surrender value. While the monthly guarantee
premium provision is applicable to your Policy, if you pay the monthly
guarantee premiums your Policy will not lapse and we will provide a death
benefit depending on the death benefit option you chose.
TAX RISKS
We anticipate that the Policy should generally qualify as a life insurance
contract under federal tax law. However, due to limited guidance under the
Federal tax law, there is some uncertainty about the application of the federal
tax law to the Policy, particularly if you pay the full amount of premiums
permitted under the Policy. Please consult a tax adviser about these
consequences.
Depending on the total amount of premiums you pay, the Policy may be treated
as a MEC under federal tax laws. If a Policy is treated as a MEC, then
surrenders, partial surrenders, and loans under the Policy will be taxable as
ordinary income to the extent there are earnings in the Policy. In addition, a
10% penalty tax may be imposed on surrenders, partial surrenders, and loans
taken before you reach age 59 1/2.
See "Federal Tax Considerations" on page 52. You should consult a qualified
tax adviser for assistance in all Policy-related tax matters.
9
PARTIAL SURRENDER AND FULL SURRENDER RISKS
The surrender charge under the Policy applies for the first 10 Policy years
(and for a maximum of the first 10 Policy years after any requested increase in
the Policy's specified amount) in the event you surrender the Policy or
decrease the specified amount. The surrender charge may be considerable. It is
possible that you will receive no cash surrender value if you surrender your
Policy in the first few Policy years. Any outstanding loan balance reduces the
amount available to you upon a partial or full surrender. Under Death Benefit
Option 3, partial surrenders reduce the Policy's death benefit until the total
value of the premiums you pay after the partial surrender is equivalent to or
greater than the amount surrendered. You should purchase the Policy only if you
have the financial ability to keep it in force for a substantial period of
time. You should not purchase the Policy if you intend to surrender all or part
of the accumulation value in the near future. We designed the Policy to help
meet long-term financial goals.
A partial surrender or full surrender may have adverse tax consequences.
POLICY LOAN RISKS
A Policy loan, whether or not repaid, will affect accumulation value over
time because we subtract the amount of the loan and any accrued interest from
the variable investment options and/or Fixed Account as collateral, and this
loan collateral does not participate in the investment performance of the
variable investment options or receive any excess interest credited to the
Fixed Account.
We reduce the amount we pay on the insured person's death by the amount of
any Policy loan and any accrued interest. Your Policy may lapse (terminate
without value) if outstanding Policy loans plus any accrued interest payable
reduce the cash surrender value to zero.
If you surrender the Policy or allow it to lapse while a Policy loan remains
outstanding, the amount of the loan, to the extent it has not been previously
taxed, is treated as a distribution from the Policy and may be subject to
federal income taxation.
PORTFOLIO RISKS
A discussion of the risks of each Fund may be found in its prospectus.
Please refer to the Funds' prospectuses for more information. You may request a
copy of any or all of the Fund prospectuses by contacting your AGL
representative or the Administrative Center shown under "Contact Information"
on page 5.
There is no assurance that any of the Funds will achieve its stated
investment objective.

GENERAL INFORMATION
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
We are American General Life Insurance Company ("AGL"). AGL is a stock life
insurance company organized under the laws of Texas. AGL's home office is
2727-A Allen Parkway, Houston, Texas 77019-2191. AGL is a successor in interest
to a company originally organized under the laws of Delaware on January 10,
1917. AGL is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of American International
Group, Inc. ("AIG"), a Delaware corporation.
The commitments under the Policies are AGL's and AIG has no legal obligation
to back those commitments.
AIG is a leading international insurance organization serving customers in
more than 130 countries. AIG companies serve commercial, institutional, and
individual customers through one of the most extensive worldwide
property-casualty networks of any insurer. In addition, AIG companies are
leading providers of life insurance and retirement services in the United
States. AIG common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and the Tokyo
Stock Exchange. More information about AIG may be found in the regulatory
filings AIG files from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") at www.sec.gov.
AGL is regulated for the benefit of Policy owners by the insurance regulator
in its state of domicile and also by all state insurance departments where it
is licensed to conduct business. AGL is required by its regulators to hold a
specified amount of reserves in order to meet its contractual obligations to
Policy owners. Insurance regulations also require AGL to maintain additional
surplus to protect against a financial impairment; the amount of which surplus
is based on the risks inherent in AGL's operations.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT VL-R
We hold the Fund shares in which any of your accumulation value is invested
in the Separate Account. The Separate Account is registered as a unit
investment trust with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940. We
created the Separate Account on May 6, 1997 under Texas law.
For record keeping and financial reporting purposes, the Separate Account is
divided into 88 separate "divisions," 57 of which correspond to the 57 variable
"investment options" available under the Policy. The remaining 31 divisions,
and all of these 57 divisions, represent investment options available under
other variable universal life policies we offer. 14 of these 57 divisions are
not available to all Policy owners. We hold the Fund shares in which we invest
your accumulation value for an investment option in the division that
corresponds to that investment option. One or more of the Funds may sell its
shares to other funds. Income, gains and losses credited to, or charged
against, the Separate Account reflect the Separate Account's own investment
experience and not the investment experience of the Separate Account's other
assets.
The assets in the Separate Account are our property. The assets in the
Separate Account may not be used to pay any liabilities of AGL other than those
arising from the Policies. AGL is obligated to pay all amounts under the
Policies due the Policy owners.
17
GUARANTEE OF INSURANCE OBLIGATIONS
Insurance obligations under all Policies with a date of issue prior to

American Home Assurance Company ("American Home"), an affiliate of AGL.
Insurance obligations include, without limitation, Policy values invested in
the Fixed Account, death benefits and Policy features that provide return of
premium or protection against Policy lapse. The Guarantee does not guarantee
Policy value or the investment performance of the variable investment options
available under the Policies. The Guarantee provides that Policy owners can
enforce the Guarantee directly.
As of December 29, 2006 at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time (the "Point of
Termination"), the Guarantee was terminated for prospectively issued Policies.
The Guarantee will not cover any Policies with a date of issue later than the
Point of Termination. The Guarantee will continue to cover Policies with a date
of issue earlier than the Point of Termination until all insurance obligations
under such Policies are satisfied in full.
American Home is a stock property-casualty insurance company incorporated

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
We have filed a Statement of Additional Information (the "SAI") with the SEC
which includes more information about your Policy. The back cover page to this
prospectus describes how you can obtain a copy of the SAI.
COMMUNICATION WITH AGL
When we refer to "you," we mean the person who is authorized to take any
action with respect to a Policy. Generally, this is the owner named in the
Policy. Where a Policy has more than one owner, each owner generally must join
in any requested action, except for transfers and changes in the allocation of
future premiums or changes among the investment options.
Administrative Center. The Administrative Center provides service to all
Policy owners. See "Contact Information" on page 5 of this prospectus. For
applicants, your AGL representative will tell you if you should use an address
other than the Administrative Center address. All premium payments, requests,
directions and other communications should be directed to the appropriate
location. You should mail premium payments and loan repayments (or use express
delivery, if you wish) directly to the appropriate address shown on your
billing statement. If you do not receive a billing statement, send your premium
directly to the address for premium payments shown under "Contact Information"
on page 5. You should communicate notice of the insured person's death,
including any related documentation, to our Administrative Center address.
E-Delivery, E-Service, telephone transactions and written transactions.
There are several different ways to request and receive Policy services.
E-Delivery. Instead of receiving paper copies by mail of certain
documents we are required to provide to you, including annual Policy and Fund
prospectuses, you may select E-Delivery.
18
E-Delivery allows you to receive notification by E-mail when new or updated
documents are available that pertain to your Policy. You may then follow the
link contained within the E-mail to view these documents on-line. You may find
electronically received documents easier to review and retain than paper
documents. To enroll for E-Delivery, you can complete certain information at
the time of your Policy application (with one required extra signature). If you
prefer, you can go to www.aig.com/lifeinsurance and at the same time you enroll
for E-Service, enroll for E-Delivery. You do not have to enroll for E-Service
to enroll for E-Delivery unless you enroll on-line. You may select or cancel
E-Delivery at any time. There is no charge for E-Delivery.
E-Service. You may enroll for E-Service to have access to on-line
services for your Policy. These services include transferring values among
investment options and changing allocations for future premiums. You can also
view Policy statements. If you have elected E-Service, you may choose to handle
certain Policy requests by E-Service, in writing or by telephone. We expect to
expand the list of available E-Service transactions in the future. To enroll
for E-Service, go to www.aig.com/lifeinsurance, click the E-Service login link,
and complete the on-line enrollment pages. You may select or cancel the use of
E-Service at any time. There is no charge for E-Service.
E-Service transactions, telephone transactions and written transactions.
Certain transaction requests currently must be made in writing. You must make
the following requests in writing (unless you are permitted to make the
requests by E-Service or by telephone. See "Telephone transactions" on page 20).

and full surrenders, changes of owner or beneficiary, and all other contractual
changes. You will be asked to return your Policy when you request a full
surrender. You may obtain these forms from our Administrative Center, shown
under "Contact Information" on page 5, or from your AGL representative. Each
communication must include your name, Policy number and, if you are not the
insured person, that person's name. We cannot process any requested action that
does not include all required information.
One-time premium payments using E-Service. You may use E-Service to schedule
one-time premium payments for your Policy. The earliest scheduled payment date
available is the next business day. For the purposes of E-Service one-time
premium payments only, a business day is a day the United
19
States Federal Reserve System ("Federal Reserve") is open. If payment
scheduling is completed after 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, then the earliest
scheduled payment date available is the second business day after the date the
payment scheduling is completed.
Generally, your payment will be applied to your Policy on the scheduled
payment date, and it will be allocated to your chosen variable investment
options based upon the prices set after 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the scheduled
payment date. See "Effective Date of Policy and Related Transactions" on
page 37.
Premium payments may not be scheduled for Federal Reserve holidays, even if
the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open. If the NYSE is closed on your
scheduled payment date, your payment will be allocated to your chosen variable
investment options based upon the prices set after 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on
the first day the NYSE is open following your scheduled payment date.
Telephone transactions. If you have a completed telephone authorization form
on file with us, you may make transfers, or change the allocation of future
premium payments or deduction of charges, by telephone, subject to the terms of
the form. We will honor telephone instructions from any person who provides the
correct information, so there is a risk of possible loss to you if unauthorized
persons use this service in your name. Our current procedure is that only the
owner or your AGL representative may make a transfer request by phone. We are
not liable for any acts or omissions based upon instructions that we reasonably
believe to be genuine. Our procedures include verification of the Policy
number, the identity of the caller, both the insured person's and owner's
names, and a form of personal identification from the caller. We will promptly
mail a written confirmation of the transaction. If (a) many people seek to make
telephone requests at or about the same time, or (b) our recording equipment
malfunctions, it may be impossible for you to make a telephone request at the
time you wish. You should submit a written request if you cannot make a
telephone request. Also, if due to malfunction or other circumstances your
telephone request is incomplete or not fully comprehensible, we will not
process the transaction. The phone number for telephone requests is
1-800-340-2765.
General. It is your responsibility to carefully review all documents you
receive from us and immediately notify the Administrative Center of any
potential inaccuracies. We will follow up on all inquiries. Depending on the
facts and circumstances, we may retroactively adjust your Policy, provided you
notify us of your concern within 30 days of receiving the transaction
confirmation, statement or other document. Any other adjustments we deem
warranted are made as of the time we receive notice of the potential error. If
you fail to notify the Administrative Center of any potential mistakes or
inaccuracies within 30 days of receiving any document, we will deem you to have
ratified the transaction.
VARIABLE INVESTMENT OPTIONS
We divided the Separate Account into variable investment options, each of
which invests in shares of a corresponding Fund. We have listed the investment
options in the following two tables. The name of each Fund or a footnote for
the Fund describes its type (for example, money market fund, growth fund,
equity fund, etc.). The text of the footnotes follows the tables. Fund
sub-advisers are shown in parentheses.
All Policy owners may invest premium payments in variable investment options
investing in the Funds listed in the first table. The second table lists
investment options that are available to some Policy owners with a Policy issue
date prior to May 1, 2006.
The investment options listed in the following table are available to all
Policy owners:

* This investment option is available only to Policy owners whose Policies
were effective before May 1, 2006. If a Policy's date of issue is before
May 1, 2006 only because we assigned an earlier date than otherwise would
apply to preserve a younger age at issue for the insured person, the Policy
owner will not be able to invest in this investment option. See "Date of
issue; Policy months and years" on page 37.
** Policy owners with accumulation value in this investment option may transfer
any or all of the value from the investment option. This investment option
is not available for any other purpose. This investment option is not
offered for new Policies.
***Any Policy owner whose accumulation value as of December 10, 2004 was
invested in whole or in part in the investment option funded by this
Portfolio may continue to use the investment option for any purpose allowed
under the Policy.
From time to time, certain Fund names are changed. When we are notified of a
name change, we will make changes so that the new name is properly shown.
However, until we complete the changes, we may provide you with various forms,
reports and confirmations that reflect a Fund's prior name.
YOU CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT THE FUNDS, THEIR INVESTMENT POLICIES, RISKS,
EXPENSES AND ALL OTHER ASPECTS OF THEIR OPERATIONS BY READING THEIR
PROSPECTUSES. You should carefully read the Funds' prospectuses before you
select any variable investment option. We do not guarantee that any Fund will
achieve its objective. In addition, no single Fund or investment option, by
itself, constitutes a balanced investment plan. A Fund's prospectus may be
supplemented by the Fund's Investment Adviser. PLEASE CHECK THE PLATINUM
INVESTOR III WEBPAGE AT WWW.AIG.COM/_3789_533840.HTML TO VIEW THE FUND
PROSPECTUSES AND THEIR SUPPLEMENTS, OR CONTACT US AT OUR ADMINISTRATIVE CENTER
TO REQUEST COPIES OF FUND PROSPECTUSES AND THEIR SUPPLEMENTS.
We have entered into various services agreements with most of the advisers
or administrators for the Funds. We receive payments for the administrative
services we perform such as proxy mailing and tabulation, mailing of Fund
related information and responding to Policy owners' inquiries about the Funds.
Currently, these payments range from 0.15% to 0.35% of the daily market value
of the assets invested in the underlying Fund as of a certain date, usually
paid at the end of each calendar quarter.
23
We have entered into a services agreement with PIMCO Variable Insurance
Trust ("PIMCO") under which we receive fees of up to 0.15% of the daily market
value of the assets invested in the underlying Fund, paid directly by PIMCO for
services we perform.
We also receive what are referred to as "12b-1 fees" from some of the Funds
themselves. These fees are designed to help pay for our direct and indirect
distribution costs for the Policies. These fees are generally equal to 0.25% of
the daily market value of the assets invested in the underlying Fund.
From time to time some of these arrangements, except for 12b-1 arrangements,
may be renegotiated so that we receive a greater payment than previously paid
depending on our determination that the expenses we incur are greater than we
anticipated. If the expenses we incur are less than we anticipated, we may make
a profit from some of these arrangements. These payments do not result in any
additional charges under the Policies that are not described under "Charges
Under the Policy" on page 47.
VOTING PRIVILEGES
We are the legal owner of the Funds' shares held in the Separate Account.
However, you may be asked to instruct us how to vote the Fund shares held in
the various Funds that are attributable to your Policy at meetings of
shareholders of the Funds. The number of votes for which you may give
directions will be determined as of the record date for the meeting. The number
of votes that you may direct related to a particular Fund is equal to (a) your
accumulation value invested in that Fund divided by (b) the net asset value of
one share of that Fund. Fractional votes will be recognized.
We will vote all shares of each Fund that we hold of record, including any
shares we own on our own behalf, in the same proportions as those shares for
which we have received instructions from owners participating in that Fund
through the Separate Account. Even if Policy owners participating in that Fund
choose not to provide voting instructions, we will vote the Fund's shares in
the same proportions as the voting instructions which we actually receive. As a
result, the instructions of a small number of Policy owners could determine the
outcome of matters subject to shareholder vote.
If you are asked to give us voting instructions, we will send you the proxy
material and a form for providing such instructions. Should we determine that
we are no longer required to send the owner such materials, we will vote the
shares as we determine in our sole discretion.
In certain cases, we may disregard instructions relating to changes in a
Fund's investment manager or its investment policies. We will advise you if we
do and explain the reasons in our next report to Policy owners. AGL reserves
the right to modify these procedures in any manner that the laws in effect from
time to time allow.
FIXED ACCOUNT
We invest any accumulation value you have allocated to the Fixed Account as
part of our general assets. We credit interest on that accumulation value at a
rate which we declare from time to time. We guarantee that the interest will be
credited at an annual effective rate of at least 4%. Although this interest
increases the amount of any accumulation value that you have in the Fixed
Account, such accumulation value will also be reduced by any charges that are
allocated to this option under the procedures described under "Allocation of
charges" on page 51. The "daily charge" described on page 48 and the fees and
expenses of the Funds discussed on page 16 do not apply to the Fixed Account.
24
You may transfer accumulation value into the Fixed Account at any time.
However, there are restrictions on the amount you may transfer out of the Fixed
Account in a Policy year. Please see "Transfers of existing accumulation value"
on page 32.
Our general account. Our general account assets are all of our assets that
we do not hold in legally segregated separate accounts. Our general account
supports our obligations to you under your Policy's Fixed Account. Unlike the
Separate Account, the assets in the general account may be used to pay any
liabilities of AGL in addition to those arising from the Policies. Because of
applicable exemptions, no interest in this option has been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Neither our general account nor our Fixed
Account is an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. We
have been advised that the staff of the SEC has not reviewed the disclosures
that are included in this prospectus for your information about our general
account or our Fixed Account. Those disclosures, however, may be subject to
certain generally applicable provisions of the federal securities laws relating
to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in prospectuses.
How we declare interest. Except for amounts held as collateral for loans, we
can at any time change the rate of interest we are paying on any accumulation
value allocated to our Fixed Account, but it will always be at an annual
effective rate of at least 4%.
Under these procedures, it is likely that at any time different interest
rates will apply to different portions of your accumulation value, depending on
when each portion was allocated to our Fixed Account. Any charges, partial
surrenders, or loans that we take from any accumulation value that you have in
our Fixed Account will be taken from each portion in reverse chronological
order based on the date that accumulation value was allocated to this option.
ILLUSTRATIONS
We may provide you with illustrations for your Policy's death benefit,
accumulation value, and cash surrender value based on hypothetical rates of
return. Hypothetical illustrations also assume costs of insurance for a
hypothetical person. These illustrations are illustrative only and should not
be considered a representation of past or future performance. Your actual rates
of return and actual charges may be higher or lower than these illustrations.
The actual return on your accumulation value will depend on factors such as the
amounts you allocate to particular investment options, the amounts deducted for
the Policy's fees and charges, the variable investment options' fees and
charges, and your Policy loan and partial surrender history.
Before you purchase the Policy, we will provide you with what we refer to as
a personalized illustration. A personalized illustration shows future benefits
under the Policy based upon (1) the proposed insured person's age and premium
class and (2) your selection of a death benefit option, specified amount,
planned periodic premiums, riders, and proposed investment options.
After you purchase the Policy and upon your request, we will provide a
similar personalized illustration that takes into account your Policy's actual
values and features as of the date the illustration is prepared. We reserve the
right to charge a maximum fee of $25 for personalized illustrations prepared
after the Policy is issued if you request us to do so more than once each year.
We do not currently charge for additional personalized illustrations.
POLICY FEATURES
Keep in mind as you review the following Policy features that we no longer
sell Platinum Investor III Policies.
25
AGE
Generally, our use of age in your Policy and this prospectus refers to a
person who is between six months younger and six months older than the stated
age. Sometimes we refer to this as the "age nearest birthday."
DEATH BENEFITS
Your specified amount of insurance. In your application to buy a Platinum
Investor III Policy, you tell us how much life insurance coverage you want. We
call this the "specified amount" of insurance. The specified amount consists of
what we refer to as "BASE COVERAGE" plus any "supplemental coverage" you
select. Base coverage must be at least 10% of the specified amount. We pay a
different level of compensation based on the amounts of base and supplemental
coverages you select. See "Base coverage and supplemental coverage" on page 28.
We also guarantee a death benefit for a specified period provided you have
paid the required monthly guarantee premiums. The guaranteed death benefit is
equal to the specified amount (less any indebtedness) and any benefit riders.
We refer to this guarantee in both your Policy and this prospectus as the
"GUARANTEE PERIOD BENEFIT." We provide more information about the specified
amount and the guarantee period benefit under "Monthly guarantee premiums,"
beginning on page 30. You should read these other discussions carefully because
they contain important information about how the choices you make can affect
your benefits and the amount of premiums and charges you may have to pay.
Investment performance affects the amount of your Policy's accumulation
value. We deduct all charges from your accumulation value. The amount of the
monthly charges may differ from month to month. However, as long as all
applicable charges are paid timely each month, the specified amount of
insurance payable under your Policy is unaffected by investment performance.
(See "MONTHLY INSURANCE CHARGE" on page 49.)
Your death benefit. You must choose one of three death benefit options under
your Policy at the time it is issued. Owners whose Policies were issued before
June 1, 2002 could choose only death benefit Option 1 or death benefit Option 2.
You can choose Option 1 or Option 2 at the time of your application or at
any later time before the death of the insured person. You can choose death
benefit Option 3 only at the time of your application. The death benefit we
will pay is reduced by any outstanding Policy loans and increased by any
unearned loan interest we may have already charged. Depending on the option you
choose, the death benefit we will pay is
. Option 1--The specified amount on the date of the insured person's death.
. Option 2--The sum of (a) the specified amount on the date of the insured
person's death and (b) the Policy's accumulation value as of the date of
death.
. Option 3--The sum of (a) the death benefit we would pay under Option 1
and (b) the cumulative amount of premiums you paid for the Policy and
any riders. The death benefit payable will be reduced by any amounts
waived under the Waiver of Monthly Deduction Rider and any partial
surrenders. Additional premiums you pay for the Policy and any riders
following a partial surrender are not considered part of the "cumulative
amount of
26
premiums you paid" until the total value of the premiums paid is
equivalent to or greater than the amount surrendered.
See "Partial surrender" on page 42 for more information about the effect of
partial surrenders on the amount of the death benefit.
Under either Option 2 or Option 3, your death benefit will be higher than
under Option 1. However, the monthly insurance charge we deduct will also be
higher to compensate us for our additional risk. Because of this, your
accumulation value for the same amount of premium will be higher under Option 1
than under either Option 2 or Option 3.
Any premiums we receive after the insured person's death will be returned
and not included in your accumulation value.
Required minimum death benefit. We may be required under federal tax law to
pay a larger death benefit than what would be paid under your chosen death
benefit option. We refer to this larger benefit as the "required minimum death
benefit" as explained below.
Federal tax law requires a minimum death benefit (the required minimum death
benefit) in relation to the accumulation value for a Policy to qualify as life
insurance. We will automatically increase the death benefit of a Policy if
necessary to ensure that the Policy will continue to qualify as life insurance.
One of two tests under current federal tax law can be used: the "GUIDELINE
PREMIUM TEST" or the "CASH VALUE ACCUMULATION TEST." You must elect one of
these tests when you apply for a Policy. After we issue your Policy, the choice
may not be changed.
If you choose the guideline premium test, total premium payments paid in a
Policy year may not exceed the guideline premium payment limitations for life
insurance set forth under federal tax law. If you choose the cash value
accumulation test, there are no limits on the amount of premium you can pay in
a Policy year, as long as the death benefit is large enough compared to the
accumulation value to meet the test requirements.
The other major difference between the two tax tests involves the Policy's
required minimum death benefit. The required minimum death benefit is
calculated as shown in the tables that follow.
If you selected death benefit Option 1, Option 2 or Option 3 at any time
when the required minimum death benefit is more than the death benefit payable
under the option you selected, the death benefit payable would be the required
minimum death benefit.
Under federal tax law rules, if you selected either death benefit Option 1
or Option 3 and elected the cash value accumulation test, rather than the
guideline premium test, the payment of additional premiums may cause your
accumulation value to increase the required minimum death benefit. Therefore,
choosing the cash value accumulation test may make it more likely that the
required minimum death benefit will apply if you select death benefit Option 1
or Option 3.
If you anticipate that your Policy may have a substantial accumulation value
in relation to its death benefit, you should be aware that the cash value
accumulation test may cause your Policy's death benefit to be higher than if
you had chosen the guideline premium test. To the extent that the cash value
accumulation test does result in a higher death benefit, the cost of insurance
charges deducted from your Policy will also tend to be higher. This compensates
us for the additional risk that we might have to pay the higher required
minimum death benefit.
27
If you have selected the cash value accumulation test, we calculate the
required minimum death benefit by multiplying your Policy's accumulation value
by a REQUIRED MINIMUM DEATH BENEFIT PERCENTAGE that will be shown on page 29 in
your Policy. The required minimum death benefit percentage varies based on the
age and sex of the insured person. Below is an example of applicable required
minimum death benefit percentages for the cash value accumulation test. The
percentages shown are for a male, non-tobacco, ages 40 to 99.
APPLICABLE PERCENTAGES UNDER
CASH VALUE ACCUMULATION TEST
INSURED PERSON'S ATTAINED AGE 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 75 99
% 344% 293% 252% 218% 191% 169% 152% 140% 104%
If you have selected the guideline premium test, we calculate the required
minimum death benefit by multiplying your Policy's accumulation value by an
applicable required minimum death benefit percentage. The applicable required
minimum death benefit percentage is 250% when the insured person's age is 40 or
less, and decreases each year thereafter to 100% when the insured person's age
is 95 or older. The applicable required minimum death benefit percentages under
the guideline premium test for certain ages between 40 and 95 are set forth in
the following table.
APPLICABLE PERCENTAGES UNDER
GUIDELINE PREMIUM TEST
INSURED PERSON'S ATTAINED AGE 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 75 95+
% 250% 215% 185% 150% 130% 120% 115% 105% 100%
Your Policy calls the multipliers used for each test the "Death Benefit
Corridor Rate."
Base coverage and supplemental coverage. When you apply for a Policy, the
amount of insurance you select is called the "specified amount." The specified
amount may be made up of two types of coverage: base coverage, which will
always be present, and supplemental coverage, which may also be included. The
total of the two coverages cannot be less than the minimum of $50,000 and at
least 10% of the total must be base coverage when you purchase the Policy.
Generally, if we assess less than the maximum guaranteed charges under your
Policy and if you choose supplemental coverage instead of base coverage, then
in the early Policy years you will reduce your total charges and increase your
accumulation value and cash surrender value. The more supplemental coverage you
elect, the greater will be the amount of the reduction in charges and increase
in accumulation value.
You should have an understanding of the significant differences between base
coverage and supplemental coverage before you complete your application. Here
are the features about supplemental coverage that differ from base coverage:
. In general, the larger percentage of supplemental coverage you choose
when your Policy is issued, the shorter the time the guarantee period
benefit will be in force;
. We pay a higher level of compensation for the sale of base coverage than
for supplemental coverage either when you purchase your Policy or when
you pay additional premiums at any time through the tenth Policy year
(we do not provide compensation for premiums we receive after the tenth
Policy year);
28
. Supplemental coverage has no surrender charges;
. The cost of insurance rate for supplemental coverage is always equal to
or less than the cost of insurance rate for an equivalent amount of base
coverage; and
. We do not collect the monthly charge for each $1,000 of specified amount
that is attributable to supplemental coverage.
You can change the percentage of base coverage when you increase the
specified amount, but at least 10% of the total specified amount after the
increase must remain as base coverage. There is no charge when you change the
percentages of base and supplemental coverages. However, if you increase your
Policy's base coverage, we will impose a new surrender charge only upon the
amount of the increase in base coverage. The new surrender charge applies for
the first 10 Policy years following the increase. The percentage that your base
and supplemental coverages represent of your specified amount will not change
whenever you decrease the specified amount. A partial surrender will reduce the
specified amount. In this case, we will deduct any surrender charge that
applies to the decrease in base coverage, but not to the decrease in
supplemental coverage since supplemental coverage has no surrender charge.
You should use the mix of base and supplemental coverage to emphasize your
own objectives. For instance, our guarantee of a minimum death benefit (through
the guarantee period benefit) may be essential to your planning. If this is the
case, you may wish to maximize the percentage amount of base coverage you
purchase. Policy owner objectives differ. Therefore, before deciding how much,
if any, supplemental coverage you should have, you should discuss with your AGL
representative what you believe to be your own objectives. Your representative
can provide you with further information and Policy illustrations showing how
your selection of base and supplemental coverages can affect your Policy values
under different assumptions.
PREMIUM PAYMENTS
Premium payments. We call the payments you make "premiums" or "premium
payments." The amount we require as your initial premium varies depending on
the specifics of your Policy and the insured person. If mandated under
applicable law, we may be required to reject a premium payment. Otherwise, with
a few exceptions mentioned below, you can make premium payments at any time and
in any amount. Premium payments we receive after your free look period, as
discussed on page 32, will be allocated upon receipt to the available
investment options you have chosen.
Premium payments and transaction requests in good order. We will accept the
Policy owner's instructions to allocate premium payments to investment options,
to make redemptions (including loans) or to transfer values among the Policy
owner's investment options, contingent upon the Policy owner's providing us
with instructions in good order. This means that the Policy owner's request
must be accompanied by sufficient detail to enable us to allocate, redeem or
transfer assets properly.
When we receive a premium payment or transaction request in good order, it
will be treated as described under "Effective date of other premium payments
and requests that you make" on page 38 of this prospectus. If we receive an
instruction that is not in good order, the requested action will not be
completed, and any premium payments that cannot be allocated will be held in a
non-interest bearing account until we receive all necessary information.
We will attempt to obtain Policy owner guidance on requests not received in
good order for up to five business days following receipt. For instance, one of
our representatives may telephone the Policy
29
owner to determine the intent of a request. If a Policy owner's request is
still not in good order after five business days, we will cancel the request,
and return any unallocated premiums to the Policy owner along with the date the
request was canceled.
Limits on premium payments. Federal tax law may limit the amount of premium
payments you can make (relative to the amount of your Policy's insurance
coverage) and may impose penalties on amounts you take out of your Policy if
you do not observe certain additional requirements. These tax law requirements
and a discussion of modified endowment contracts are summarized further under
"Federal Tax Considerations" beginning on page 52. We will monitor your premium
payments, however, to be sure that you do not exceed permitted amounts or
inadvertently incur any tax penalties. The tax law limits can vary as a result
of changes you make to your Policy. For example, a reduction in the specified
amount of your Policy can reduce the amount of premiums you can pay.
Also, in certain limited circumstances, additional premiums may cause the
death benefit to increase by more than they increase your accumulation value.
In such case, we may refuse to accept an additional premium if the insured
person does not provide us with satisfactory evidence that our requirements for
issuing insurance are still met. This increase in death benefit is on the same
terms (including additional charges) as any other specified amount increase you
request (as described under "Increase in coverage" on page 35.)
Checks. You may pay premium by checks drawn on a U.S. bank in U.S. dollars
and made payable to "American General Life Insurance Company," or "AGL."
Premiums after the initial premium should be sent directly to the appropriate
address shown on your billing statement. If you do not receive a billing
statement, send your premium directly to the address for premium payments shown
on page 5 of this prospectus. We also accept premium payments by bank draft,
wire or by exchange from another insurance company. Premium payments from
salary deduction plans may be made only if we agree. You may obtain further
information about how to make premium payments by any of these methods from
your AGL representative or from our Administrative Center shown under "Contact
Information" on page 5.
Planned periodic premiums. Page 3 of your Policy will specify a "Planned
Periodic Premium." This is the amount that you (within limits) choose to pay.
Our current practice is to bill monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually.
However, payment of these or any other specific amounts of premiums is not
mandatory. After payment of your initial premium, you need only invest enough
to ensure that your Policy's cash surrender value stays above zero or that the
guarantee period benefit (described under "Monthly guarantee premiums" on
page 30) remains in effect ("Cash surrender value" is explained under "Full
surrenders" on page 7.) The less you invest, the more likely it is that your
Policy's cash surrender value could fall to zero as a result of the deductions
we periodically make from your accumulation value.
Monthly guarantee premiums. Page 3 of your Policy will specify a "Monthly
Guarantee Premium." If you pay these guarantee premiums, we will provide at
least an Option 1 death benefit, even if your policy's cash surrender value has
declined to zero.
We call this our "guarantee period benefit" and here are its terms and
conditions:
. On the first day of each POLICY MONTH that you are covered by the
guarantee period benefit, we determine if the cash surrender value (we
use your accumulation value less loans during your first five Policy
years) is sufficient to pay the monthly deduction. (Policy months are
measured from the "Date of Issue" that will also be shown on page 3 of
your Policy.)
30
. If the cash surrender value is insufficient, we determine if the
cumulative amount of premiums paid under the Policy, less any partial
surrenders and Policy loans, is at least equal to the sum of the monthly
guarantee premiums starting with the date of issue, including the
current Policy month.
. If the monthly guarantee premium requirement is met, the Policy will not
lapse. See "Policy Lapse and Reinstatement" on page 52.
. We continue to measure your cash surrender value and the sum of monthly
guarantee premiums for the length of time you are covered by the
guarantee period benefit.
The cost of providing the guarantee period benefit is, in part, dependent on
the level of the monthly guarantee premium and the duration of the guarantee
period. The more supplemental coverage you choose, the lower are your overall
Policy charges. Although overall Policy charges are lower, more supplemental
coverage will result in a higher monthly guarantee premium and a shorter
guarantee period.
The length of time you are covered by the guarantee period benefit varies on
account of two things (except in New Jersey, as described in the last paragraph
of this section):
. the insured person's age at the Policy's date of issue; and
. the amounts of base coverage and supplemental coverage you have chosen.
The maximum duration for the guarantee period - 10 years - happens in the
event you have chosen 100% base coverage and the insured person is no older
than age 50 at the Policy's date of issue. We reduce the maximum time for the
guarantee period by one year for each year the insured person is older than age
50 at the date of issue. The reductions stop after the insured person is age 55
or older at the date of issue. This means, for instance, that you will have a
guarantee period of 5 years if you choose 100% base coverage and the insured
person is age 55 at the Policy's date of issue.
The least amount of time for the guarantee period to be in effect - 3 years
- happens in the event you have chosen the maximum permitted 90% of
supplemental coverage and the insured person is older than age 50 at the date
of issue.
Whenever you increase or decrease your specified amount, change death
benefit options or add or delete a benefit rider, we calculate a new monthly
guarantee premium. The amount you must pay to keep the guarantee period benefit
in force will increase or decrease. We can calculate your new monthly guarantee
premium as a result of a Policy change before you make the change. Please
contact either your AGL representative or the Administrative Center shown under
"Contact Information" on page 5 for this purpose.
. For increases in the specified amount, the new monthly guarantee premium
is calculated based on the insured's underwriting characteristics at the
time of the increase and the amount of the increase.
. For decreases in the specified amount, the monthly guarantee premium is
adjusted on a pro-rata basis. For instance, if the specified amount is
reduced by one-half, the monthly guarantee premium is reduced by
one-half.
. For the addition of a benefit rider, the monthly guarantee premium is
increased by the amount of the monthly deduction for the rider.
31
. For the deletion of a benefit rider, the monthly guarantee premium will
be decreased by the amount of the monthly deduction for the rider.
We provide the guarantee period benefit for 5 years for all Policies issued
in the State of New Jersey. The period of coverage for New Jersey Policies is
unaffected by the insured person's age at the Policy's date of issue or your
choice of base coverage and supplemental coverage.
Free look period. If for any reason you are not satisfied with your Policy,
you may return it to us and we will refund the greater of (i) any premium
payments received by us or (ii) your accumulation value plus any charges that
have been deducted. To exercise your right to return your Policy, you must mail
it directly to the Administrative Center address shown under "Contract
Information" on page 5 or return it to the AGL representative through whom you
purchased the Policy within 10 days after you receive it. In a few states, this
period may be longer. Because you have this right, we will invest your initial
net premium payment in the money market investment option from the date your
investment performance begins until the first business day that is at least 15
days later. Then we will automatically allocate your investment among the
available investment options in the ratios you have chosen. This reallocation
will not count against the 12 free transfers that you are permitted to make
each year. Any additional premium we receive during the 15-day period will also
be invested in the money market investment option and allocated to the
investment options at the same time as your initial net premium.
CHANGING YOUR INVESTMENT OPTION ALLOCATIONS
Future premium payments. You may at any time change the investment options
in which future premiums you pay will be invested. Your allocation must,
however, be in whole percentages that total 100%.
Transfers of existing accumulation value. You may transfer your existing
accumulation value from one investment option to another, subject to the
restrictions below and other restrictions described in this prospectus (see
"Market timing" on page 33, "Restrictions initiated by the Funds and
information sharing obligations" on page 34 and "Additional Rights That We
Have" on page 46).
. Charges. The first 12 transfers in a Policy year are free of charge. We
consider your instruction to transfer from or to more than one
investment option at a time to be one transfer. We will charge $25 for
each additional transfer.
. Restrictions on transfers from variable investment options. You may make
transfers from the variable investment options at any time. There is no
maximum limit on the amount you may transfer. The minimum amount you may
transfer from a variable investment option is $500, unless you are
transferring the entire amount you have in the option.
. Restrictions on transfers from the Fixed Account. You may make transfers
from the Fixed Account only during the 60-day period following each
Policy anniversary (including the 60-day period following the date we
apply your initial premium to your Policy).
The maximum total amount you may transfer from the Fixed Account each
year is limited to the greater of "a" or "b" below:
a. 25% of the unloaned accumulation value you have in the Fixed Account
as of the Policy anniversary (for the first Policy year, the amount
of your initial premium you allocated to the Fixed Account); or
32
b. the total amount you transferred or surrendered from the Fixed
Account during the previous Policy year.
The minimum amount you may transfer from the Fixed Account is $500,
unless you are transferring the entire amount you have in the Fixed
Account.
Dollar cost averaging. DOLLAR COST AVERAGING is an investment strategy
designed to reduce the risks that result from market fluctuations. The strategy
spreads the allocation of your accumulation value among your chosen variable
investment options over a period of time. This allows you to reduce the risk of
investing most of your funds at a time when prices are high. The success of
this strategy depends on market trends and is not guaranteed. You should
carefully consider your financial ability to continue the program over a long
enough period of time to allocate accumulation value to the variable investment
options when their value is low as well as when it is high.
Under dollar cost averaging, we automatically make transfers of your
accumulation value from the variable investment option of your choice to one or
more of the other variable investment options that you choose. You tell us what
day of the month you want these transfers to be made (other than the 29th, 30th
or 31st of a month) and whether the transfers on that day should occur monthly,
quarterly, semi-annually or annually. We make the transfers at the end of the
VALUATION PERIOD containing the day of the month you select. (The term
"valuation period" is described on page 37.) You must have at least $5,000 of
accumulation value to start dollar cost averaging and each transfer under the
program must be at least $100. Dollar cost averaging ceases upon your request,
or if your accumulation value in the investment option from which you are
making transfers becomes exhausted. You may maintain only one dollar cost
averaging instruction with us at a time. You cannot use dollar cost averaging
at the same time you are using AUTOMATIC REBALANCING. Dollar cost averaging
transfers do not count against the 12 free transfers that you are permitted to
make each year. We do not charge you for using this service.
Automatic rebalancing. This feature automatically rebalances the proportion
of your accumulation value in each variable investment option under your Policy
to correspond to your then current premium allocation designation. Automatic
rebalancing does not guarantee gains, nor does it assure that you will not have
losses. You tell us whether you want us to do the rebalancing quarterly,
semi-annually or annually. Automatic rebalancing will occur as of the end of
the valuation period that contains the date of the month your Policy was
issued. For example, if your Policy is dated January 17, and you have requested
automatic rebalancing on a quarterly basis, automatic rebalancing will start on
April 17, and will occur quarterly thereafter. You must have a total
accumulation value of at least $5,000 to begin automatic rebalancing.
Rebalancing ends upon your request. You may maintain only one automatic
rebalancing instruction with us at a time. You cannot use automatic rebalancing
at the same time you are using dollar cost averaging. Automatic rebalancing
transfers do not count against the 12 free transfers that you are permitted to
make each year. We do not charge you for using this service.
Market timing. The Policies are not designed for professional market timing
organizations or other entities or individuals using programmed and frequent
transfers involving large amounts. Market timing carries risks with it,
including:
. dilution in the value of Fund shares underlying investment options of
other Policy owners;
. interference with the efficient management of the Fund's portfolio; and
. increased administrative costs.
33
We have policies and procedures affecting your ability to make transfers
within your Policy. A transfer can be your allocation of all or a portion of a
new premium payment to an investment option. You can also transfer your
accumulation value in one investment option (all or a portion of the value) to
another investment option.
We are required to monitor the Policies to determine if a Policy owner
requests:
. a transfer out of a variable investment option within two calendar weeks
of an earlier transfer into that same variable investment option; or
. a transfer into a variable investment option within two calendar weeks
of an earlier transfer out of that same variable investment option; or
. a transfer out of a variable investment option followed by a transfer
into that same variable investment option, more than twice in any one
calendar quarter; or
. a transfer into a variable investment option followed by a transfer out
of that same variable investment option, more than twice in any one
calendar quarter.
If any of the above transactions occurs, we will suspend such Policy owner's
same day or overnight delivery transfer privileges (including website, e-mail
and facsimile communications) with notice to prevent market timing efforts that
could be harmful to other Policy owners or beneficiaries. Such notice of
suspension will take the form of either a letter mailed to your last known
address, or a telephone call from our Administrative Center to inform you that
effective immediately, your same day or overnight delivery transfer privileges
have been suspended. A Policy owner's first violation of this policy will
result in the suspension of Policy transfer privileges for ninety days. A
Policy owner's subsequent violation of this policy will result in the
suspension of Policy transfer privileges for six months.
In most cases, transfers into and out of the money market investment option
are not considered market timing; however, we examine all of the above
transactions without regard to any transfer into or out of the money market
investment option. We treat such transactions as if they are transfers directly
into and out of the same variable investment option. For instance:
(1)if a Policy owner requests a transfer out of any variable investment
option into the money market investment option, and
(2)the same Policy owner, within two calendar weeks requests a transfer out
of the money market investment option back into that same variable
investment option, then
(3)the second transaction above is considered market timing.
Transfers under dollar cost averaging, automatic rebalancing or any other
automatic transfer arrangements to which we have agreed are not affected by
these procedures.
The procedures above will be followed in all circumstances, and we will
treat all Policy owners the same.
In addition, Policy owners incur a $25 charge for each transfer in excess of
12 each Policy year.
Restrictions initiated by the Funds and information sharing obligations. The
Funds have policies and procedures restricting transfers into the Fund. For
this reason or for any other reason the
34
Fund deems necessary, a Fund may instruct us to reject a Policy owner's
transfer request. Additionally, a Fund may instruct us to restrict all
purchases or transfers into the Fund by a particular Policy owner. We will
follow the Fund's instructions. The availability of transfers from any
investment option offered under the Policy is unaffected by the Fund's policies
and procedures.
Please read the Funds' prospectuses and supplements for information about
restrictions that may be initiated by the Funds.
In order to prevent market timing, the Funds have the right to request
information regarding Policy owner transaction activity. If a Fund requests, we
will provide mutually agreed upon information regarding Policy owner
transactions in the Fund.
CHANGING THE SPECIFIED AMOUNT OF INSURANCE
Increase in coverage. At any time while the insured person is living, you
may request an increase in the specified amount of coverage under your Policy.
You must, however, provide us with satisfactory evidence that the insured
person continues to meet our requirements for issuing insurance coverage.
We treat an increase in specified amount in many respects as if it were the
issuance of a new Policy. For example, the monthly insurance charge for the
increase will be based on the age, gender and premium class of the insured
person at the time of the increase. Also, a new amount of surrender charge
. applies to any amount of the increase that you request as base (rather
than supplemental) coverage;
. applies as if we were instead issuing the same amount of base coverage
as a new Platinum Investor III Policy; and
. applies to the amount of the increase for the 10 Policy years following
the increase.
Whenever you decide to increase your specified amount, you will be subject
to a new monthly charge per $1,000 of base coverage. The additional charge will
be applied to the increase in your base coverage portion of the increase in the
specified amount for the first 7 Policy years following the increase.
Increasing the specified amount may increase the amount of premium you would
need to pay to avoid a lapse of your Policy.
You are not required to increase your specified amount in any specific
percentage or ratio that your base and supplemental coverage bear to your
specified amount before the increase, with one exception. Base coverage must be
at least 10% of the total specified amount after the increase.
Decrease in coverage. After the first Policy year, you may request a
reduction in the specified amount of coverage, but not below certain minimums.
After any decrease, the specified amount cannot be less than the greater of:
. $50,000; and
. any minimum amount which, in view of the amount of premiums you have
paid, is necessary for the Policy to continue to meet the federal tax
law definition of life insurance.
We will apply a reduction in specified amount proportionately against the
specified amount provided under the original application and any specified
amount increases. The decrease in specified
35
amount will decrease both your base and supplemental coverage in the same ratio
they bear to your specified amount before the decrease. We will deduct from
your accumulation value any surrender charge that is due on account of the
decrease. We will also reduce any remaining surrender charge amount associated
with the portion of your Policy's base coverage that has been reduced. If there
is not sufficient accumulation value to pay the surrender charge at the time
you request a reduction, the decrease will not be allowed.
A reduction in specified amount will not reduce the monthly charge per
$1,000 of base coverage or the amount of time for which we assess this charge.
For instance, if you increase your base coverage and follow it by a decrease in
base coverage within 7 years of the increase, we will assess the monthly charge
per $1,000 of base coverage against the increase in base coverage for the full
7 years even though you have reduced the amount of base coverage.
CHANGING DEATH BENEFIT OPTIONS
Change of death benefit option. You may at any time before the death of the
insured person request us to change your choice of death benefit option from:
Option 1 to Option 2;
Option 2 to Option 1; or
Option 3 to Option 1.
No other changes are permitted. A change from Option 3 to Option 1 may be
subject to regulatory approval in your state.
. If you change from Option 1 to Option 2, we automatically reduce your
Policy's specified amount of insurance by the amount of your Policy's
accumulation value (but not below zero) at the time of the change. The
change will go into effect on the MONTHLY DEDUCTION DAY (see "Monthly
deduction days" on page 38) following the date we receive your request
for change. We will take the reduction proportionately from each
component of the Policy's specified amount. We will not charge a
surrender charge for this reduction in specified amount. The surrender
charge schedule will not be reduced on account of the reduction in
specified amount. The monthly charge per $1,000 of base coverage will
not change. At the time of the change of death benefit option, your
Policy's monthly insurance charge and surrender value will not change.
. If you change from Option 2 to Option 1, then as of the date of the
change we automatically increase your Policy's specified amount by the
amount of your Policy's accumulation value. We will apply the entire
increase in your specified amount to the last coverage added (either
base or supplemental) to your Policy, and which has not been removed by
a decrease in your Policy's specified amount. For the purpose of this
calculation, if base and supplemental coverages were issued on the same
date, we will consider the supplemental coverage to have been issued
later. The monthly charge per $1,000 of base coverage will not change.
At the time of the change of death benefit option, your Policy's monthly
insurance charge and surrender value will not change.
. If you change from Option 3 to Option 1, your Policy's specified amount
will not change. The monthly charge per $1,000 of base coverage and the
COST OF INSURANCE RATES will not change. Your Policy's monthly insurance
charge will decrease and the surrender value will increase.
36
Tax consequences of changes in insurance coverage. Please read "Tax Effects"
starting on page 53 of this prospectus to learn about possible tax consequences
of changing your insurance coverage under your Policy.
Effect of changes in insurance coverage on guarantee period. A change in
coverage does not result in termination of the guarantee period, so that if you
pay certain prescribed amounts of premiums, we will pay a death benefit even if
your Policy's cash surrender value declines to zero. The details of this
guarantee are discussed under "Monthly guarantee premiums," beginning on
page 30.
EFFECTIVE DATE OF POLICY AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Valuation dates, times, and periods. We compute values under a Policy on
each day that the NYSE is open for business. We call each such day a "VALUATION
DATE" or a "business day."
We compute policy values as of the time the NYSE closes on each valuation
date, which usually is 3:00 p.m. Central time. We call this our "CLOSE OF
BUSINESS." We call the time from the close of business on one valuation date to
the close of business of the next valuation date a "valuation period." We are
closed only on those holidays the NYSE is closed.
Fund pricing. Each Fund produces a price per Fund share following each close
of the NYSE and provides that price to us. We then determine the Fund value at
which you may invest in the particular investment option, which reflects the
change in value of each Fund reduced by the daily charge and any other charges
that are applicable to your Policy.
Date of receipt. Generally we consider that we have received a premium
payment or another communication from you on the day we actually receive it in
good order at any of the addresses shown on page 5 of this prospectus. If we
receive it after the close of business on any valuation date, however, we
consider that we have received it on the following valuation date. Any premium
payments we receive after our close of business are held in our general account
until the next business day.
If we receive your premiums through payroll allotment, such as salary
deduction or salary reduction programs, we consider that we receive your
premium on the day we actually receive it, rather than the day the deduction
from your payroll occurs. This is important for you to know because your
premium receives no interest or earnings for the time between the deduction
from your payroll and our receipt of the payment. We do not accept military
allotment programs.
Commencement of insurance coverage. After you apply for a Policy, it can
sometimes take up to several weeks for us to gather and evaluate all the
information we need to determine whether to issue a Policy to you and, if so,
what the insured person's premium class should be. We will not pay a death
benefit under a Policy unless (a) it has been delivered to and accepted by the
owner and at least the initial premium has been paid, and (b) at the time of
such delivery and payment, there have been no adverse developments in the
insured person's health or risk of death. However, if you pay at least the
minimum first premium payment with your application for a Policy, we will
provide temporary coverage of up to $1,000,000 provided the insured person
meets certain medical and risk requirements. The terms and conditions of this
coverage are described in our "Limited Temporary Life Insurance Agreement,"
available to you when you apply for this Policy.
Date of issue; Policy months and years. We prepare the Policy only after we
approve an application for a Policy and assign the appropriate premium class.
The day we begin to deduct charges will appear on page 3 of your Policy and is
called the "Date of Issue." Policy months and years are
37
measured from the date of issue. To preserve a younger age at issue for the
insured person, we may assign a date of issue to a Policy that is up to 6
months earlier than otherwise would apply.
Monthly deduction days. Each charge that we deduct monthly is assessed
against your accumulation value at the close of business on the date of issue
and at the end of each subsequent valuation period that includes the first day
of a Policy month. We call these "monthly deduction days."
Commencement of investment performance. We begin to credit an investment
return to the accumulation value resulting from your initial premium payment on
the later of (a) the date of issue, or (b) the date all requirements needed to
place the Policy in force have been reviewed and found to be satisfactory,
including underwriting approval and receipt of the necessary premium. In the
case of a back-dated Policy, we do not credit an investment return to the
accumulation value resulting from your initial premium payment until the date
stated in (b) above.
Effective date of other premium payments and requests that you make. Premium
payments (after the first) and transactions made in response to your requests
and elections are generally effected at the end of the valuation period in
which we receive the payment, request or election and based on prices and
values computed as of that same time. Exceptions to this general rule are as
follows:
. Increases or decreases you request in the specified amount of insurance,
REINSTATEMENT of a Policy that has lapsed, and changes in death benefit
option take effect on the Policy's monthly deduction day if your request
is approved on that day or on the next monthly deduction day following
our approval if we approve your request on any other day of the month;
. In most states, we may return premium payments, make a partial surrender
or reduce the death benefit if we determine that such premiums would
cause your Policy to become a modified endowment contract or to cease to
qualify as life insurance under federal income tax law or exceed the
maximum net amount at risk;
. If you exercise your right to return your Policy described under "Free
look period" on page 32 of this prospectus, your coverage will end when
you deliver it to your AGL representative, or if you mail it to us, the
date it is postmarked; and
. If you pay a premium at the same time that you make a Policy request
which requires our approval, your payment will be applied when received
rather than following the effective date of the requested change, but
only if your Policy is in force and the amount paid will not cause you
to exceed premium limitations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the "CODE"). If we do not approve your Policy request, your
premium payment will still be accepted in full or in part (we will
return to you the portion of your premium payment that would be in
violation of the maximum premium limitations under the Code). We will
not apply this procedure to premiums you pay in connection with
reinstatement requests.
REPORTS TO POLICY OWNERS
Shortly after the end of each Policy year, we will mail you a report that
includes information about your Policy's current death benefit, accumulation
value, cash surrender value and Policy loans. We will send you notices to
confirm premium payments, transfers and certain other Policy transactions. We
will mail to you at your last known address of record, these and any other
reports and communications required by law. You should give us prompt written
notice of any address change.
38
ADDITIONAL BENEFIT RIDERS
RIDERS
You may be eligible to add an additional rider benefit to your Policy. You
can request that your Policy include the additional rider benefits described
below. For most of the riders that you choose, a charge, which will be shown on
page 3 of your Policy, will be deducted from your accumulation value on each
monthly deduction day. Eligibility for and changes in these benefits are
subject to our rules and procedures as well as Internal Revenue Service ("IRS")
guidance and rules that pertain to the Code's definition of life insurance as
in effect from time to time. Not all riders are available in all states. More
details are included in the form of each rider, which we suggest that you
review if you choose any of these benefits. Some of the riders provide
guaranteed benefits that are obligations of our general account and not of the
Separate Account. See "Our general account" on page 25.
. Accidental Death Benefit Rider. This rider pays an additional death
benefit if the insured person dies from certain accidental causes. There
is a charge for this rider. You can purchase this rider only at the time
we issue your Policy. You may later elect to terminate this rider. If
you do so, the charge will cease.
. Children's Insurance Benefit Rider. This rider provides term life
insurance coverage on the eligible children of the person insured under
the Policy. There is a charge for this rider. This rider is convertible
into any other insurance (except for term coverage) available for
conversions, under our published rules at the time of conversion. You
may purchase this rider at the time we issue your Policy or at any time
thereafter. You may terminate the rider at any time. If you do so, the
charge will cease.
. Maturity Extension Rider. This rider gives you the option to extend the
Policy's MATURITY DATE beyond what it otherwise would be, at any time
before the original maturity date. Once you select this rider, if you
have not already elected to extend the maturity date, we will notify you
of this right 60 days before maturity. If you do not then elect to
extend the maturity date before the original maturity date, the rider
will terminate and the maturity date will not be extended. You have two
versions of this rider from which to choose, the Accumulation Value
version and the Death Benefit version. Either or both versions may not
be available in your state.
The Accumulation Value version provides for a death benefit after
your original maturity date that is equal to the accumulation value
on the date of the insured person's death. The death benefit will be
reduced by any outstanding Policy loan amount. There is no charge for
this version until you reach your original maturity date. After your
original maturity date, we will charge a monthly fee of no more than
$10.
The Death Benefit version provides for a death benefit after your
original maturity date equal to the death benefit in effect on the
day prior to your original maturity date. If the death benefit is
based fully, or in part, on the accumulation value, we will adjust
the death benefit to reflect future changes in your accumulation
value. The death benefit will never be less than the accumulation
value. The death benefit will be reduced by any outstanding Policy
loan amount.
We will charge you the following amounts under the death benefit
version
39
. A monthly fee of no more than $30 for each $1,000 of the net
amount at risk. This fee begins 9 years before your original
maturity date and terminates on your original maturity date; and
. A monthly fee of no more than $10. This fee begins on your
original maturity date if you exercise your right under the rider
to extend your original maturity date.
Nine years and 60 days before your original maturity date, we will
notify you that you will incur these charges if you keep the rider.
You will then have until your original maturity date to terminate the
rider and with it, your right to extend your original maturity date.
If you terminate the rider at any time within this nine year and 60
day period, there will be no further charges and you will have no
remaining right to receive a benefit under the rider.
Both versions of the rider may be added at any time to an existing
Policy up until the same nine year and 60 day period before your
original maturity date. In Illinois you may select either version of the
rider only after we issue your Policy.
There are features common to both riders in addition to the $10 maximum
monthly fee. Only the insurance coverage associated with the Policy will
be extended beyond your original maturity date. We do not allow
additional premium payments, or changes in specified amount after your
original maturity date. The only charge we continue to automatically
deduct after the original maturity date is the daily charge described on
page 48. Once you have exercised your right to extend your original
maturity date, you cannot revoke it. The monthly fee will continue. You
can, however, surrender your Policy at any time.
Extension of the maturity date beyond the insured person's age 100 may
result in current taxation of increases in your Policy's accumulation
value as a result of interest or investment experience after that time.
You should consult a qualified tax adviser before making such an
extension.
. Spouse Term Rider. This rider provides term life insurance on the life
of the spouse of the Policy's insured person. There is a charge for this
rider. This rider terminates no later than the Policy anniversary
nearest the spouse's 75th birthday. You can convert this rider into any
other insurance, except term, under our published rules at the time of
conversion. You can purchase this rider only at the time we issue your
Policy. You may later elect to terminate this rider. If you do so, the
charge will cease.
. Terminal Illness Rider. This rider provides the Policy owner with the
right to request a benefit if the Policy's insured person is diagnosed
as having a terminal illness (as defined in the rider) and less than 12
months to live. This rider is not available in all states. There is a
charge for this rider. The maximum amount you may receive under this
rider before the insured person's death is 50% of the death benefit that
would be due under the Policy (excluding any rider benefits), not to
exceed $250,000. The amount of benefits paid under the rider, plus
interest on this amount to the next Policy anniversary, plus an
administrative fee (not to exceed $250), becomes a "LIEN" against the
Policy. The maximum interest rate will not exceed the greater of
40
. the Moody's corporate Bond Yield Average-Monthly Average Corporates
for the month of October preceding the calendar year for which the
loan interest rate is determined; or
. the interest rate used to calculate cash values in the Fixed Account
during the period for which the interest rate is determined, plus 1%.
A lien is a claim by AGL against all future Policy benefits. We will
continue to charge interest in advance on the total amount of the lien
and will add any unpaid interest to the total amount of the lien each
year. The cash surrender value of the Policy also will be reduced by the
amount of the lien. Any time the total lien, plus any other Policy
loans, exceeds the Policy's then current death benefit, the Policy will
terminate without further value. You can purchase this rider at any time
prior to the maturity date. You may terminate this rider at any time. If
you do so, the charge will cease.
. Waiver of Monthly Deduction Rider. This rider provides for a waiver of
all monthly charges assessed for both your Policy and riders that we
otherwise would deduct from your accumulation value, so long as the
insured person is totally disabled (as defined in the rider). This rider
is not available for Policies with an initial specified amount greater
than $5,000,000. There is a charge for this rider. While we are paying
benefits under this rider we will not permit you to request any increase
in the specified amount of your Policy's coverage. When we "pay
benefits" under this rider, we pay all monthly charges (except for loan
interest) for your Policy when they become due, and then deduct the same
charges from your Policy. Therefore, your Policy's accumulation value
does not change because of monthly charges. We perform these two
transactions at the same time. However, loan interest will not be paid
for you under this rider, and the Policy could, under certain
circumstances, lapse for nonpayment of loan interest. You can purchase
this rider on the life of an insured person who is younger than age 56.
You can purchase this rider only at the time we issue your Policy. You
may later elect to terminate this rider. If you do so, the charge will
cease.
TAX CONSEQUENCES OF ADDITIONAL RIDER BENEFITS.
Adding or deleting riders, or increasing or decreasing coverage under
existing riders can have tax consequences. See "Tax Effects" starting on
page 53. You should consult a qualified tax adviser.
POLICY TRANSACTIONS
The following transactions may have different effects on the accumulation
value, death benefit, specified amount or cost of insurance. You should
consider the net effects before requesting a Policy transaction. See "Policy
Features" on page 25. Certain transactions also include charges. For
information regarding other charges, see "Charges Under the Policy" on page 47.
E-DELIVERY, E-SERVICE, TELEPHONE TRANSACTIONS AND WRITTEN TRANSACTIONS
See page 18 for information regarding E-Delivery, E-Service, telephone
transactions and written transactions.
41
WITHDRAWING POLICY INVESTMENTS
Full surrender. You may at any time surrender your Policy in full. If you
do, we will pay you the accumulation value, less any Policy loans, plus any
unearned loan interest, and less any surrender charge that then applies. We
call this amount your "cash surrender value." Because of the surrender charge,
it is unlikely that a Platinum Investor III Policy will have any cash surrender
value during at least the first year.
Partial surrender. You may, at any time after the first Policy year, make a
partial surrender of your Policy's cash surrender value. A partial surrender
must be at least $500. We will automatically reduce your Policy's accumulation
value by the amount of your withdrawal and any related charges. We do not allow
partial surrenders that would reduce the death benefit below $50,000.
If the Option 1 or Option 3 death benefit is then in effect, we also will
reduce your Policy's specified amount by the amount of such withdrawal and
charges, but not below $50,000. We will take any such reduction in specified
amount in accordance with the description found under "Decrease in coverage" on
page 35.
You may choose the investment option or options from which money that you
withdraw will be taken; otherwise, we will allocate the partial surrender in
the same proportions as then apply for deducting monthly charges under your
Policy or, if that is not possible, in proportion to the amount of accumulation
value you then have in each investment option.
There is a maximum partial surrender processing fee equal to the lesser of
2% of the amount withdrawn or $25 for each partial surrender you make. This
charge currently is $10.
Exchange of Policy in certain states. Certain states require that a Policy
owner be given the right to exchange the Policy for a fixed benefit life
insurance policy, within either 18 or 24 months from the date of issue. This
right is subject to various conditions imposed by the states and us. In such
states, this right has been more fully described in your Policy or related
endorsements to comply with the applicable state requirements.
Policy loans. You may at any time borrow from us an amount up to your
Policy's cash surrender value less the interest that will be payable on your
loan to your next Policy anniversary. The minimum amount you can borrow is $500
or, if less, your Policy's cash surrender value less the loan interest payable
to your next Policy anniversary. These rules are not applicable in all states.
We remove from your investment options an amount equal to your loan and hold
that part of your accumulation value in the Fixed Account as collateral for the
loan. We will credit your Policy with interest on this collateral amount on a
monthly basis at a guaranteed annual effective rate of 4.0% (rather than any
amount you could otherwise earn in one of our investment options), and we will
charge you interest on your loan at an annual effective rate of 4.75%. Loan
interest is payable annually, on the Policy anniversary, in advance, at a rate
of 4.54%. Any amount not paid by its due date will automatically be added to
the loan balance as an additional loan.
If a new Policy loan is taken out on a date not coinciding with the Policy
anniversary date, the loan interest charged is calculated from the date the
loan is taken out to the next Policy anniversary. The following year, loan
interest is calculated on the entire loan amount until the next Policy
anniversary. Similarly, if the loan is paid off (in-part or in-whole) on a date
not coinciding with the Policy anniversary date, the total loan amount will
reflect an adjustment for the unearned loan interest. Disbursements from the
Policy also result in adjusted interest. For instance, if a death claim occurs
on a date not coinciding
42
with the Policy anniversary date, and the Policy has an outstanding Policy
loan, the total loan amount with an adjustment for the unearned loan interest
will be subtracted from the death benefit.
Interest you pay on Policy loans will not, in most cases, be deductible on
your tax returns.
You may choose which of your investment options the loan will be taken from.
If you do not so specify, we will allocate the loan in the same way that
charges under your Policy are being allocated. If this is not possible, we will
make the loan pro-rata from each investment option that you then are using.
You may repay all or part (but not less than $100 unless it is the final
payment) of your loan at any time before the death of the insured person while
the Policy is in force. You must designate any loan repayment as such;
otherwise, we will treat it as a premium payment instead. Any loan repayments
go first to repay all loans that were taken from the Fixed Account. We will
invest any additional loan repayments you make in the investment options you
request. In the absence of such a request we will invest the repayment in the
same proportion as you then have selected for premium payments that we receive
from you. Any unpaid loan (increased by any unearned loan interest we may have
already charged) will be deducted from the proceeds we pay following the
insured person's death.
Preferred loan interest rate. We will charge a lower interest rate on loans
available after the first 10 Policy years. We call these "preferred loans." The
maximum amount eligible for preferred loans for any year is:
. 10% of your Policy's accumulation value (which includes any loan
collateral we are holding for your Policy loans) at the Policy
anniversary; or
. if less, your Policy's maximum remaining loan value at that Policy
anniversary.
We will always credit your preferred loan collateral amount at a guaranteed
annual effective rate of 4.0%. We intend to set the rate of interest you are
paying to the same 4.0% rate we credit to your preferred loan collateral
amount, resulting in a zero net cost (0.00%) of borrowing for that amount. We
have full discretion to vary the rate we charge you, provided that the rate:
. will always be greater than or equal to the guaranteed preferred loan
collateral rate of 4.0%, and
. will never exceed an annual effective rate of 4.25%.
Maturity of your Policy. If the insured person is living on the "Maturity
Date" shown on page 3 of your Policy, we will pay you the cash surrender value
of the Policy, and the Policy will end. The maturity date can be no later than
the Policy anniversary nearest the insured person's 100th birthday, unless you
have elected the Maturity Extension Rider. See "Maturity Extension Rider"
within the "Additional Benefit Riders" section beginning on page 39.
Tax considerations. Please refer to "Federal Tax Considerations" on page 52
for information about the possible tax consequences to you when you receive any
loan, surrender, maturity benefit or other funds from your Policy. A Policy
loan may cause the Policy to lapse which may result in adverse tax consequences.

POLICY PAYMENTS
PAYMENT OPTIONS
The beneficiary will receive the full death benefit proceeds from the Policy
as a single sum, unless the beneficiary elects another method of payment within
60 days after we receive notification of the insured person's death. Likewise,
the Policy owner will receive the full proceeds that become payable upon full
surrender or the maturity date, unless the Policy owner elects another method
of payment within 60 days after we receive notification of full surrender or
the maturity date.
The payee can elect that all or part of such proceeds be applied to one or
more of the following payment options. If the payee dies before all guaranteed
payments are paid, the payee's heirs or estate will be paid the remaining
payments.
The payee can elect that all or part of such proceeds be applied to one or
more of the following payment options:
. Option 1 - Equal monthly payments for a specified period of time.
. Option 2 - Equal monthly payments of a selected amount of at least $60
per year for each $1,000 of proceeds until all amounts are paid out.
. Option 3 - Equal monthly payments for the payee's life, but with
payments guaranteed for a specified number of years. These payments are
based on annuity rates that are set forth in the Policy or, at the
payee's request, the annuity rates that we then are using.
. Option 4 - Proceeds left to accumulate at an interest rate of 3%
compounded annually for any period up to 30 years. At the payee's
request we will make payments to the payee monthly, quarterly,
semiannually, or annually. The payee can also request a partial
withdrawal of any amount of $500 or more. There is no charge for partial
withdrawals.
Additional payment options may also be available with our consent. We have
the right to reject any payment option if the payee is a corporation or other
entity. You can read more about each of these options in the Policy and in the
separate form of payment contract that we issue when any such option takes
effect.
Interest rates that we credit under each option will be at least 3%.
Change of payment option. The owner may give us written instructions to
change any payment option previously elected at any time while the Policy is in
force and before the start date of the payment option.
Tax impact. If a payment option is chosen, you or your beneficiary may have
adverse tax consequences. You should consult with a qualified tax adviser
before deciding whether to elect one or more payment options.
THE BENEFICIARY
You name your beneficiary when you apply for a Policy. The beneficiary is
entitled to the insurance benefits of the Policy. You may change the
beneficiary during the lifetime of the insured person unless your previous
designation of beneficiary provides otherwise. In this case the previous
44
beneficiary must give us permission to change the beneficiary and then we will
accept your instructions. A new beneficiary designation is effective as of the
date you sign it, but will not affect any payments we may make before we
receive it. If no beneficiary is living when the insured person dies, we will
pay the insurance proceeds to the owner or the owner's estate.
ASSIGNMENT OF A POLICY
You may assign (transfer) your rights in a Policy to someone else as
collateral for a loan or for some other reason. We will not be bound by an
assignment unless it is received in writing. You must provide us with two
copies of the assignment. We are not responsible for any payment we make or any
action we take before we receive a complete notice of the assignment in good
order. We are also not responsible for the validity of the assignment. An
absolute assignment is a change of ownership. Because there may be unfavorable
tax consequences, including recognition of taxable income and the loss of
income tax-free treatment for any death benefit payable to the beneficiary, you
should consult a qualified tax adviser before making an assignment.
PAYMENT OF PROCEEDS
General. We generally will pay any death benefit, maturity benefit, cash
surrender value or loan proceeds within seven days after we receive the last
required form or request (and any other documents that may be required for
payment of a death benefit). If we do not have information about the desired
manner of payment within 60 days after the date we receive notification of the
insured person's death, we will pay the proceeds as a single sum, normally
within seven days thereafter.
Delay of Fixed Account proceeds. We have the right, however, to defer
payment or transfers of amounts out of the Fixed Account for up to six months.
If we delay more than 30 days in paying you such amounts, we will pay interest
of at least 3% a year from the date we receive all items we require to make the
payment.
Delay for check clearance. We reserve the right to defer payment of that
portion of your accumulation value that is attributable to a payment made by
check for a reasonable period of time (not to exceed 15 days) to allow the
check to clear the banking system.
Delay of Separate Account VL-R proceeds. We reserve the right to defer
computation of values and payment of any death benefit, loan or other
distribution that comes from that portion of your accumulation value that is
allocated to Separate Account VL-R, if:
. the NYSE is closed other than weekend and holiday closings;
. trading on the NYSE is restricted;
. an emergency exists as determined by the SEC or other appropriate
regulatory authority such that disposal of securities or determination
of the accumulation value is not reasonably practicable;
. the SEC by order so permits for the protection of Policy owners; or
. we are on notice that the Policy is the subject of a court proceeding,
an arbitration, a regulatory matter or other legal action.
45
Transfers and allocations of accumulation value among the investment options
may also be postponed under these circumstances. If we need to defer
calculation of Separate Account VL-R values for any of the foregoing reasons,
all delayed transactions will be processed at the next values that we do
compute.
Delay to challenge coverage. We may challenge the validity of your insurance
Policy based on any material misstatements in your application or any
application for a change in coverage. However,
. We cannot challenge the Policy after it has been in effect, during the
insured person's lifetime, for two years from the date the Policy was
issued or restored after termination.
(Some states may require that we measure this time in another way. Some
states may also require that we calculate the amount we are required to
pay in another way.)
. We cannot challenge any Policy change that requires evidence of
insurability (such as an increase in specified amount) after the change
has been in effect for two years during the insured person's lifetime.
. We cannot challenge an additional benefit rider that provides benefits
if the insured person becomes totally disabled, after two years from the
later of the Policy's date of issue or the date the additional benefit
rider becomes effective.
Delay required under applicable law. We may be required under applicable law
to block a request for transfer or payment, including a Policy loan request,
under a Policy until we receive instructions from the appropriate regulator.
ADDITIONAL RIGHTS THAT WE HAVE
We have the right at any time to:
. transfer the entire balance in an investment option in accordance with
any transfer request you make that would reduce your accumulation value
for that option to below $500;
. transfer the entire balance in proportion to any other investment
options you then are using, if the accumulation value in an investment
option is below $500 for any other reason;
. end the automatic rebalancing feature if your accumulation value falls
below $5,000;
. replace the underlying Fund that any investment option uses with another
Fund, subject to SEC and other required regulatory approvals;
. add, delete or limit investment options, combine two or more investment
options, or withdraw assets relating to the Policies from one investment
option and put them into another, subject to SEC and other required
regulatory approvals;
. operate Separate Account VL-R under the direction of a committee or
discharge such a committee at any time;
. operate Separate Account VL-R, or one or more investment options, in any
other form the law allows, including a form that allows us to make
direct investments. Separate Account VL-R may be charged an advisory fee
if its investments are made directly rather than
46
through another investment company. In that case, we may make any legal
investments we wish; or
. make other changes in the Policy that in our judgment are necessary or
appropriate to ensure that the Policy continues to qualify for tax
treatment as life insurance, or that do not reduce any cash surrender
value, death benefit, accumulation value, or other accrued rights or
benefits.
VARIATIONS IN POLICY OR INVESTMENT OPTION TERMS AND CONDITIONS
We also have the right to make some variations in the terms and conditions
of a Policy. Any variations will be made only in accordance with uniform rules
that we establish. We intend to comply with all applicable laws in making any
changes and, if necessary, we will seek Policy owner approval and SEC and other
regulatory approvals. Here are some of the potential variations:
Underwriting and premium classes. We may add or remove premium classes. We
currently have nine premium classes we use to decide how much the monthly
insurance charges under any particular Policy will be:
. Four Non-tobacco classes: preferred plus, preferred, standard and
special;
. Three Tobacco classes: preferred, standard and special; and
. Two Juvenile classes: juvenile and special juvenile.
Various factors such as the insured person's age, health history, occupation
and history of tobacco use, are used in considering the appropriate premium
class for the insured. Premium classes are described in your Policy. Policies
issued in New Jersey do not have the juvenile and special juvenile classes.
Policies purchased through "internal rollovers." We maintain published rules
that describe the procedures necessary to replace life insurance policies we
have issued. Not all types of other insurance are eligible to be replaced with
a Policy. Our published rules may be changed from time to time, but are evenly
applied to all our customers.
State law requirements. AGL is subject to the insurance laws and regulations
in every jurisdiction in which the Policies are sold. As a result, various time
periods and other terms and conditions described in this prospectus may vary
depending on where you reside. These variations will be reflected in your
Policy and related endorsements.
Expenses or risks. AGL may vary the charges and other terms within the
limits of the Policy where special circumstances result in sales,
administrative or other expenses, mortality risks or other risks that are
different from those normally associated with the Policy.
Underlying investments. You will be notified as required by law if there are
any material changes in the underlying investments of an investment option that
you are using.
CHARGES UNDER THE POLICY
Statutory premium tax charge. Unless your Policy was issued in Oregon, we
deduct from each premium a charge for the tax that is then applicable to us in
your state or other jurisdiction. These taxes, if any, currently range in the
United States from 0.5% to 3.5%. Please let us know if you move to another
jurisdiction, so we can adjust this charge if required. You are not permitted
to deduct the amount of these
47
taxes on your income tax return. We use this charge to offset our obligation to
pay premium tax on the Policies.
Tax charge back. If you are a resident of Oregon at the time you purchase a
Policy, there is no premium tax charge. Instead, we will deduct from each
premium a tax charge back that is permissible under Oregon law. If you later
move from Oregon to a state that has a premium tax, we will not charge you a
premium tax. We deduct the tax charge back from each premium you pay,
regardless of the state in which you reside at the time you pay the premium.
The current tax charge back is 1.78% of each premium. We may change the tax
charge back amount but any change will only apply to new Policies we issue. We
use the charge partly to offset our obligation to pay premium taxes on the same
Policy if you move to another state. We also use the charge to pay for the cost
of additional administrative services we provide under these Policies.
Premium expense charge. After we deduct premium tax (or a tax charge back if
we issued your Policy in Oregon) from each premium payment, we currently deduct
5.0% from the remaining amount. We may increase this charge for all years, but
it will never exceed 7.5%. AGL receives this charge to cover sales expenses,
including commissions.
Daily charge (mortality and expense risk fee). We will deduct a daily charge
at an annual effective rate of 0.70% (7/10 of 1%) of your accumulation value
that is then being invested in any of the variable investment options. After a
Policy has been in effect for 10 years, however, we will reduce this rate to an
annual effective rate of 0.45%, and after 20 years, to an annual effective rate
of 0.10%. We guarantee these rate reductions. AGL receives this charge to pay
for our mortality and expense risks.
Fees and expenses and money market investment options. During periods of low
short-term interest rates, and in part due to Policy fees and expenses that are
assessed as frequently as daily, the yield of the money market investment
option may become extremely low and possibly negative. If the daily dividends
paid by the underlying mutual fund for the money market investment option are
less than the Policy's fees and expenses, the money market investment option's
unit value will decrease. In the case of negative yields, your accumulation
value in the money market investment option will lose value.
Flat monthly charge. We will deduct $6 from your accumulation value each
month. We may lower this charge but it is guaranteed to never exceed $6. The
flat monthly charge is the Monthly Administration Fee shown on page 3A of your
Policy. AGL receives this charge to pay for the cost of administrative services
we provide under the Policies, such as regulatory mailings and responding to
Policy owners' requests.
Monthly charge per $1,000 of base coverage. We deduct a charge monthly from
your accumulation value for the first 7 Policy years. This monthly charge also
applies to the amount of any increase in base coverage during the 7 Policy
years following the increase. This charge varies according to the age, gender
and premium class of the insured person, as well as the amount of coverage. The
dollar amount of this charge changes with each increase in your Policy's base
coverage. (We describe your base coverage and specified amount under "Your
specified amount of insurance" on page 26 and "Base coverage and supplemental
coverage" on page 28.) This charge can range from a maximum of $1.25 for each
$1,000 of the base coverage portion of the specified amount to a minimum of
$0.03 for each $1,000 of base coverage. The representative charge (referred to
as "Example" in the Tables of Charges on page 14) is $0.16 for each $1,000 of
base coverage. The initial amount of this charge is shown on page 3A of your
Policy and is called "Monthly Expense Charge for First Seven Years." Page 4 of
your Policy contains a table of the guaranteed rates for this charge. AGL
receives this charge to pay for underwriting costs and other costs of issuing
the Policies, and also to help pay for the administrative services we provide
under the Policies.
48
Monthly insurance charge. Every month we will deduct from your accumulation
value a charge based on the cost of insurance rates applicable to your Policy
on the date of the deduction and our "net amount at risk" on that date. Our net
amount at risk is the difference between (a) the death benefit that would be
payable before reduction by policy loans if the insured person died on that
date and (b) the then total accumulation value under the Policy. For otherwise
identical Policies:
. greater amounts at risk result in a higher monthly insurance charge; and
. higher cost of insurance rates also result in a higher monthly insurance
charge.
Keep in mind that investment performance of the investment options in which
you have accumulation value will affect the total amount of your accumulation
value. Therefore your monthly insurance charge can be greater or less,
depending on investment performance.
Our cost of insurance rates are guaranteed not to exceed those that will be
specified in your Policy. Our current rates are lower than the guaranteed
maximum rates for insured persons in most age, gender and premium classes,
although we have the right at any time to raise these rates to not more than
the guaranteed maximum.
In general the longer you own your Policy, the higher the cost of insurance
rate will be as the insured person grows older. Also our cost of insurance
rates will generally be lower if the insured person is a female than if a male.
Similarly, our current cost of insurance rates are generally lower for
non-tobacco users than tobacco users, and for persons considered to be in
excellent health. On the other hand, insured persons who present particular
health, occupational or non-work related risks may require higher cost of
insurance rates and other additional charges based on the specified amount of
insurance coverage under their Policies.
Finally, our current cost of insurance rates for the same insured person
differ depending on the specified amount in force on the day the charge is
deducted. We have different rates we apply for specified amounts. The highest
rates begin with the minimum specified amount. The rates decline on a graduated
schedule as the specified amount increases. Your agent can discuss the schedule
with you. Our cost of insurance rates are generally higher under a Policy that
has been in force for some period of time than they would be under an otherwise
identical Policy purchased more recently on the same insured person.
AGL receives this charge to fund the death benefits we pay under the
Policies.
Monthly charges for additional benefit riders. We will deduct charges
monthly from your accumulation value, if you select additional benefit riders.
The charges for any rider you select will vary by Policy within a range based
on either the personal characteristics of the insured person or the specific
coverage you choose under the rider. The riders we currently offer are
accidental death benefit rider, children's insurance benefit rider, two
versions of maturity extension rider, spouse term rider, terminal illness rider
and waiver of monthly deduction rider. The riders are described beginning on
page 39, under "Additional Benefit Riders." The specific charges for any riders
you choose are shown on page 3 of your Policy. AGL receives these charges to
pay for the benefits under the riders and to help offset the risks we assume.
Surrender charge. The Policies have a surrender charge that applies for a
maximum of the first 10 Policy years (and for a maximum of the first 10 Policy
years after any increase in the Policy's base coverage). We will apply the
surrender charge only to the base coverage portion of the specified amount.
49
The amount of the surrender charge depends on the age and other insurance
characteristics of the insured person. Your Policy's surrender charge will be
found in the table beginning on page 27 of the Policy. As shown in the Tables
of Charges beginning on page 11, the maximum surrender charge is $48 per $1,000
of the base coverage portion of the specified amount (or any increase in the
base coverage portion of the specified amount). The minimum surrender charge is
$7 per $1,000 of the base coverage (or any increase in the base coverage). The
representative surrender charge (referred to as "Example" in the Tables of
Charges) is $18 per $1,000 of base coverage (or any increase in the base
coverage).
The surrender charge decreases on an annual basis beginning in the fourth
year of its 10 year period referred to above until, in the eleventh year, it is
zero (or the eleventh year following any increase in the Policy's base
coverage). These decreases are also based on the age and other insurance
characteristics of the insured person.
The following chart illustrates how the surrender charge declines over the
first 10 Policy years. The chart is for a 40 year old male, who is the same
person to whom we refer in the Tables of Charges beginning on page 11 under
"Example Charge." Surrender charges may differ for other insured persons
because the amount of the annual reduction in the surrender charge may differ.
SURRENDER CHARGE FOR A 40 YEAR OLD MALE
POLICY YEAR 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
SURRENDER CHARGE PER $1,000 OF
BASE COVERAGE $18 $18 $18 $16 $14 $11 $9 $7 $5 $ 2 $ 0
We will deduct the entire amount of any then applicable surrender charge
from the accumulation value at the time of a full surrender. Upon a requested
decrease in a Policy's base coverage portion of the specified amount, we will
deduct any remaining amount of the surrender charge that was associated with
the base coverage that is canceled. This includes any decrease that results
from any requested partial surrender. See "Partial surrender" beginning on
page 42 and "Change of death benefit option" beginning on page 36.
For those Policies that lapse in the first 10 Policy years, AGL receives
surrender charges to help recover sales expenses, which are higher for base
coverage than for supplemental coverage. Higher amounts of base coverage result
in higher premiums and higher charges, including higher surrender charges.
Depending on the age and health risk of the insured person when the Policy is
issued, more premium may be required to pay for all Policy charges. As a
result, we use the insured person's age, sex and premium class to help
determine the appropriate rate of surrender charge per $1,000 of base coverage
to help us offset these higher sales charges.
Partial surrender processing fee. We will charge a maximum fee equal to the
lesser of 2% of the amount withdrawn or $25 for each partial surrender you
make. This charge is currently $10. AGL receives this charge to help pay for
the expense of making a partial surrender.
Transfer fee. We will charge a $25 transfer fee for each transfer between
investment options that exceeds 12 each Policy Year. This charge will be
deducted from the investment options in the same ratio as the requested
transfer. AGL receives this charge to help pay for the expense of making the
requested transfer.
Illustrations. If you request illustrations more than once in any Policy
year, we may charge a maximum fee of $25 for the illustration. AGL receives
this charge to help pay for the expenses of providing additional illustrations.
50
Policy loans. We will charge you interest on any loan at an annual effective
rate of 4.75%. The loan interest charged on a preferred loan (available after
the first 10 Policy years) will never exceed an annual effective rate of 4.25%.
AGL receives these charges to help pay for the expenses of administering and
providing for Policy loans. See "Policy loans" beginning on page 42.
Charge for taxes. We can adjust charges in the future on account of taxes we
incur or reserves we set aside for taxes in connection with the Policies. This
would reduce the investment experience of your accumulation value. In no event
will any adjusted charge exceed the maximum guaranteed charge shown in the
Tables of Charges on pages 11 - 16. All maximum guaranteed charges also appear
in your Policy.
For a further discussion regarding these charges we will deduct from your
investment in a Policy, see "More About Policy Charges" on page 51.
Allocation of charges. You may choose the investment options from which we
deduct all monthly charges and any applicable surrender charges. If you do not
have enough accumulation value in those investment options, we will deduct
these charges in the same ratio the charges bear to the unloaned accumulation
value you then have in each investment option.
MORE ABOUT POLICY CHARGES
Purpose of our charges. The charges under the Policy are designed to cover,
in total, our direct and indirect costs of selling, administering and providing
benefits under the Policy. They are also designed, in total, to compensate us
for the risks we assume and services that we provide under the Policy. These
include:
. mortality risks (such as the risk that insured persons will, on average,
die before we expect, thereby increasing the amount of claims we must
pay);
. sales risks (such as the risk that the number of Policies we sell and
the premiums we receive net of withdrawals, are less than we expect,
thereby depriving us of expected economies of scale);
. regulatory risks (such as the risk that tax or other regulations may be
changed in ways adverse to issuers of variable universal life insurance
policies); and
. expense risks (such as the risk that the costs of administrative
services that the Policy requires us to provide will exceed what we
currently project).
The current monthly insurance charge has been designed primarily to provide
funds out of which we can make payments of death benefits under the Policy as
the insured person dies.
General. If the charges that we collect from the Policies exceed our total
costs in connection with the Policies, we will earn a profit. Otherwise we will
incur a loss. We reserve the right to increase the charges to the maximum
amounts on Policies issued in the future.
Although the paragraphs above describe the primary purposes for which
charges under the Policies have been designed, these purposes are subject to
considerable change over the life of a Policy. We can retain or use the
revenues from any charge for any purpose.
51
ACCUMULATION VALUE
Your accumulation value. From each premium payment you make, we deduct the
charges that we describe on page 47 under "Statutory premium tax charge" (or
"Tax charge back" if you are a resident of Oregon when you purchase your
Policy) and "Other deductions from each premium payment." We invest the rest in
one or more of the investment options listed in the chart on page 20 of this
prospectus, as well as the Fixed Account. We call the amount that is at any
time invested under your Policy (including any loan collateral we are holding
for your Policy loans) your "accumulation value."
Your investment options. We invest the accumulation value that you have
allocated to any variable investment option in shares of a corresponding Fund.
Over time, your accumulation value in any such investment option will increase
or decrease in accordance with the investment experience of the Fund. Your
accumulation value will also be reduced by Fund charges and certain other
charges that we deduct from your Policy. We describe these charges beginning on
page 47 under "Charges Under the Policy."
You can review other important information about the Funds that you can
choose in the separate prospectuses for those Funds. You can request additional
free copies of these prospectuses from your AGL representative or from the
Administrative Center. See "Contact Information" on page 5.
We invest any accumulation value you have allocated to the Fixed Account as
part of our general assets. We credit interest on that accumulation value at a
rate which we declare from time to time. We guarantee that the interest will be
credited at an annual effective rate of at least 4%. Although this interest
increases the amount of any accumulation value that you have in the Fixed
Account, such accumulation value will also be reduced by any charges that are
allocated to this option under the procedures described under "Allocation of
charges" on page 51. The "daily charge" described on page 48 and the fees and
expenses of the Funds discussed on page 16 do not apply to the Fixed Account.
Policies are "non-participating." You will not be entitled to any dividends
from AGL.
POLICY LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT
If your Policy's cash surrender value (the Policy's accumulation value less
Policy loans and loan interest during the first 5 Policy years) falls to an
amount insufficient to cover the monthly charges, you must pay additional
premium in order to keep your Policy in force. We will notify you by letter
that you have 61 days from the due date of the premium to pay the necessary
charges to avoid lapse of the Policy. You are not required to repay any
outstanding Policy loan in order to reinstate your Policy. If the loan is not
repaid, however, it will be reinstated with your Policy. If the insured person
dies during the grace period we will pay the death benefit reduced by the
charges that are owed at the time of death. The grace period begins with the
first day of the Policy month for which all charges could not be paid. If we do
not receive your payment by the end of the grace period, your Policy and all
riders will end without value and all coverage under your Policy will cease.
Although you can apply to have your Policy "reinstated," you must do this
within 5 years (or, if earlier, before the Policy's maturity date), and you
must present evidence that the insured person still meets our requirements for
issuing coverage. You will find additional information in the Policy about the
values and terms of the Policy after it is reinstated.
FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS
Generally, the death benefit paid under a Policy is not subject to income
tax. Earnings on your accumulation value are not subject to income tax as long
as we do not pay them out to you. If we do pay any amount of your Policy's
accumulation value upon surrender, partial surrender, or maturity of your
52
Policy, all or part of that distribution may be treated as a return of the
premiums you paid, which is not subject to income tax.
Amounts you receive as Policy loans are not taxable to you, unless you have
paid such a large amount of premiums that your Policy becomes what the tax law
calls a "modified endowment contract." In that case, the loan will be taxed as
if it were a partial surrender. Furthermore, loans, partial surrenders and
other distributions from a modified endowment contract may require you to pay
additional taxes and penalties that otherwise would not apply. If your Policy
lapses, you may have to pay income tax on a portion of any outstanding loan.
TAX EFFECTS
Discussions regarding the tax treatment of any life insurance policy are
intended for general purposes only and are not intended as tax advice, either
general or individualized, nor should they be interpreted to provide any
predictions or guarantees of a particular tax treatment. This discussion
generally is based on current federal income tax law and interpretations, and
may include areas of those rules that are more or less clear or certain. Tax
laws are subject to legislative modification, and while many such modifications
will have only a prospective application, it is important to recognize that a
change could have retroactive effect as well. You should seek competent tax or
legal advice, as you deem necessary or appropriate, regarding your own
circumstances.
This discussion assumes that the policy owner is a natural person who is a
U.S. citizen and resident. The consequences for corporate taxpayers,
non-U.S. residents or non-U.S. citizens, may be different. The following
discussion of federal income tax treatment is general in nature and is not
intended as tax advice.
General. The Policy will be treated as "life insurance" for federal income
tax purposes (a) if it meets the definition of life insurance under
Section 7702 of the Code and (b) for as long as the investments made by the
underlying Funds satisfy certain investment diversification requirements under
Section 817(h) of the Code. We believe that the Policy will meet these
requirements at issue and that:
. the death benefit received by the beneficiary under your Policy will
generally not be subject to federal income tax; and
. increases in your Policy's accumulation value as a result of interest or
investment experience will not be subject to federal income tax unless
and until there is a distribution from your Policy, such as a surrender
or a partial surrender.
The federal income tax consequences of a distribution from your Policy can
be affected by whether your Policy is determined to be a "modified endowment
contract," as explained in the following discussion. In all cases, however, the
character of all income that is described as taxable to the payee will be
ordinary income (as opposed to capital gain).
Testing for modified endowment contract status. The Code provides for a
"SEVEN-PAY TEST." This test determines if your Policy will be a "modified
endowment contract."
If, at any time during the first seven Policy years:
. you have paid a cumulative amount of premiums;
. the cumulative amount exceeds the premiums you would have paid by the
same time under a similar fixed-benefit life insurance policy; and
53
. the fixed benefit policy was designed (based on certain assumptions
mandated under the Code) to provide for paid-up future benefits
("paid-up" means no future premium payments are required) after the
payment of seven level annual premiums;
then your Policy will be a modified endowment contract.
Whenever there is a "material change" under a policy, the policy will
generally be (a) treated as a new contract for purposes of determining whether
the policy is a modified endowment contract and (b) subjected to a new
seven-pay period and a new seven-pay limit. The new seven-pay limit would be
determined taking into account, under a prescribed formula, the accumulation
value of the policy at the time of such change. A materially changed policy
would be considered a modified endowment contract if it failed to satisfy the
new seven-pay limit at any time during the new seven-pay period. A "material
change" for these purposes could occur as a result of a change in death benefit
option. A material change will occur as a result of an increase in your
Policy's specified amount, and certain other changes.
If your Policy's benefits are reduced during the first seven Policy years
(or within seven years after a material change), the calculated seven-pay
premium limit will be redetermined based on the reduced level of benefits and
applied retroactively for purposes of the seven-pay test. (Such a reduction in
benefits could include, for example, a decrease in the specified amount that
you request or that results from a partial surrender). If the premiums
previously paid are greater than the recalculated seven-payment premium level
limit, the Policy will become a modified endowment contract.
We will monitor your Policy and attempt to notify you on a timely basis to
prevent additional premium payments from causing your Policy to become a
modified endowment contract.
A life insurance policy that is received in a tax free exchange under
Section 1035 of the Code for a modified endowment contract will also be
considered a modified endowment contract.
Other effects of Policy changes. Changes made to your Policy (for example, a
decrease in specified amount that you request or that results from a partial
surrender that you request) may also have other effects on your Policy. Such
effects may include impacting the maximum amount of premiums that can be paid
under your Policy, as well as the maximum amount of accumulation value that may
be maintained under your Policy. Under Notice 2006-95 published by the Internal
Revenue Service, certain policy changes, not expressly provided for in your
Policy, may have adverse federal income tax effects. You should consult your
own competent, professional tax adviser on this issue.
Rider benefits. We believe that premium payments and any death benefits or
other benefits to be paid under any rider you may purchase under your Policy
will not disqualify your Policy as life insurance for tax purposes. However,
the tax law related to rider benefits is complex and some uncertainty exists.
You should consult a qualified tax adviser regarding the impact of any rider
you may purchase.
Taxation of pre-death distributions if your Policy is not a modified
endowment contract. As long as your Policy remains in force during the insured
person's lifetime and not as a modified endowment contract, a Policy loan will
be treated as indebtedness, and no part of the loan proceeds will be subject to
current federal income tax. Interest on the Policy loan generally will not be
tax deductible.
After the first 15 Policy years, the proceeds from a partial surrender will
not be subject to federal income tax except to the extent such proceeds exceed
your "BASIS" in your Policy. (Your basis generally will equal the premiums you
have paid, less the amount of any previous distributions from your Policy that
were not taxable.) During the first 15 Policy years, however, the proceeds from
a partial surrender
54
could be subject to federal income tax, under a complex formula, to the extent
that your accumulation value exceeds your basis in your Policy.
On the maturity date or upon full surrender, any excess in the amount of
proceeds we pay (including amounts we use to discharge any Policy loan) over
your basis in the Policy, will be subject to federal income tax. In addition,
if a Policy ends after a grace period while there is a Policy loan, the
cancellation of such loan and any accrued loan interest will be treated as a
distribution and could be subject to federal income tax under the above rules.
Finally, if you make an assignment of rights or benefits under your Policy you
may be deemed to have received a distribution from your Policy, all or part of
which may be taxable.
Taxation of pre-death distributions if your Policy is a modified endowment
contract. If your Policy is a modified endowment contract, any distribution
from your Policy while the insured person is still living will be taxed on an
"income-first" basis. Distributions:
. include loans (including any increase in the loan amount to pay interest
on an existing loan, or an assignment or pledge to secure a loan) and
partial surrenders;
. will be considered taxable income to you to the extent your accumulation
value exceeds your basis in the Policy; and
. have their taxability determined by aggregating all modified endowment
contracts issued by the same insurer (or its affiliates) to the same
owner (excluding certain qualified plans) during any calendar year.
For modified endowment contracts, your basis:
. is similar to the basis described above for other policies; and
. will be increased by the amount of any prior loan under your Policy that
was considered taxable income to you.
A 10% penalty tax also will apply to the taxable portion of most
distributions from a policy that is a modified endowment contract. The penalty
tax will not, however, apply:
. to taxpayers 59 1/2 years of age or older;
. in the case of a disability (as defined in the Code); or
. to distributions received as part of a series of substantially equal
periodic annuity payments for the life (or life expectancy) of the
taxpayer or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the taxpayer
and his or her beneficiary.
If your Policy ends after a grace period while there is a Policy loan, the
cancellation of the loan will be treated as a distribution to the extent not
previously treated as such and could be subject to tax, including the 10%
penalty tax, as described above. In addition, on the maturity date or upon a
full surrender, any excess of the proceeds we pay (including any amounts we use
to discharge any Policy loan) over your basis in the Policy, will be subject to
federal income tax and, unless one of the above exceptions applies, the 10%
penalty tax.
55
Distributions that occur during a Policy year in which your Policy becomes a
modified endowment contract, and during any subsequent Policy years, will be
taxed as described in the two preceding paragraphs. In addition, distributions
from a policy within two years before it becomes a modified endowment contract
also will be subject to tax in this manner. This means that a distribution made
from a policy that is not a modified endowment contract could later become
taxable as a distribution from a modified endowment contract.
Policy lapses and reinstatements. A Policy which has lapsed may have the tax
consequences described above, even though you may be able to reinstate that
Policy. For tax purposes, some reinstatements may be treated as the purchase of
a new insurance contract.
Diversification and investor control. Under Section 817(h) of the Code, the
Treasury Department has issued regulations that implement investment
diversification requirements. Our failure to comply with these regulations
would disqualify your Policy as a life insurance policy under Section 7702 of
the Code. If this were to occur, you would be subject to federal income tax on
the income under the Policy for the period of the disqualification and for
subsequent periods. Also, if the insured person died during such period of
disqualification or subsequent periods, a portion of the death benefit proceeds
would be taxable to the beneficiary. Separate Account VL-R, through the Funds,
intends to comply with these requirements. Although we do not have direct
control over the investments or activities of the Funds, we will enter into
agreements with them requiring the Funds to comply with the diversification
requirements of the Section 817(h) Treasury Regulations.
The Treasury Department has provided only limited guidance describing the
circumstances in which the ability of a policy owner to direct his or her
investment to particular Funds within Separate Account VL-R may cause the
policy owner, rather than the insurance company, to be treated as the owner of
the assets in the account. Due to the lack of specific guidance on investor
control, there is some uncertainty about when a policy owner is considered the
owner of the assets for tax purposes. If you were considered the owner of the
assets of Separate Account VL-R, income and gains from the account would be
included in your gross income for federal income tax purposes. Under current
law, however, we believe that AGL, and not the owner of a Policy, would be
considered the owner of the assets of Separate Account VL-R. However, we
reserve the right to make changes that we deem necessary to insure that the
Policy qualifies as a life insurance contract.
Estate and generation skipping taxes. If the insured person is the Policy's
owner, the death benefit under the Policy will generally be includable in the
owner's estate for purposes of federal estate tax. If the owner is not the
insured person, under certain conditions, only an amount approximately equal to
the cash surrender value of the Policy would be includable. In addition, an
unlimited marital deduction may be available for federal estate tax purposes.
As a general rule, if a "transfer" is made to a person two or more
generations younger than the Policy's owner, a generation skipping tax may be
payable at rates similar to the maximum estate tax rate in effect at the time.
The generation skipping tax provisions generally apply to "transfers" that
would be subject to the gift and estate tax rules. For 2015, the federal
estate, gift and generation-skipping tax exemptions increased to $5,430,000
($10,860,000 for married couples). You should consult with a qualified tax
adviser for specific information, especially where benefits are passing to
younger generations.
The particular situation of each Policy owner, insured person or beneficiary
will determine how ownership or receipt of Policy proceeds will be treated for
purposes of federal estate and generation skipping taxes, as well as state and
local estate, inheritance and other taxes.
56
Life insurance in split dollar arrangements. The IRS and Treasury have
issued regulations on split dollar life insurance arrangements. In general, a
split dollar insurance arrangement involves two parties agreeing to split the
premium and/or benefits of a life insurance policy. These arrangements are
often used as a type of employee compensation or for making gifts among family
members. The regulations provide two mutually exclusive regimes for taxing
split dollar life insurance arrangements: the "economic benefit" regime and the
"loan" regime. The economic benefit regime, under which the non-owner of the
policy is treated as receiving certain economic benefits from its owner,
applies to endorsement arrangements and most non-equity split dollar life
insurance arrangements. The loan regime applies to collateral assignment
arrangements and other arrangements in which the non-owner could be treated as
loaning amounts to the owner.
In addition, it should be noted that split dollar arrangements characterized
as loans for tax purposes may be affected by the Corporate Responsibility Act
of 2002 also referred to as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Act"). The Act
prohibits loans from companies publicly traded in the United States to their
executives and officers. The status of split dollar arrangements under the Act
is uncertain, in part because the SEC may view the tax treatment of such
arrangements as instructive.
Purchasers of life insurance policies are strongly advised to consult with a
qualified tax adviser to determine the tax treatment resulting from a split
dollar arrangement.
Pension and profit-sharing plans. If a life insurance policy is purchased by
a trust or other entity that forms part of a pension or profit-sharing plan
qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code for the benefit of participants
covered under the plan, the federal income tax treatment of such policies will
be somewhat different from that described above.
The reasonable net premium cost for such amount of insurance that is
purchased as part of a pension or profit-sharing plan is required to be
included annually in the plan participant's gross income. This cost (generally
referred to as the "P.S. 58" cost) is reported to the participant annually. If
the plan participant dies while covered by the plan and the policy proceeds are
paid to the participant's beneficiary, then the excess of the death benefit
over the policy's accumulation value will not be subject to federal income tax.
However, the policy's accumulation value will generally be taxable to the
extent it exceeds the participant's cost basis in the policy. The participant's
cost basis will generally include the costs of insurance previously reported as
income to the participant. Special rules may apply if the participant had
borrowed from the policy or was an owner-employee under the plan. The rules for
determining "P.S. 58" costs are currently provided under Notice 2002-8, 2002-1
CB 398.
There are limits on the amounts of life insurance that may be purchased on
behalf of a participant in a pension or profit-sharing plan. Complex rules, in
addition to those discussed above, apply whenever life insurance is purchased
by a tax qualified plan. You should consult a qualified tax adviser.
Other employee benefit programs. Complex rules may also apply when a policy
is held by an employer or a trust, or acquired by an employee, in connection
with the provision of other employee benefits. These policy owners must
consider whether the policy was applied for by or issued to a person having an
insurable interest under applicable state law and with the insured person's
consent. The lack of an insurable interest or consent may, among other things,
affect the qualification of the policy as life insurance for federal income tax
purposes and the right of the beneficiary to receive a death benefit.
ERISA. Employers and employer-created trusts holding the policy may be
subject to reporting, disclosure and fiduciary obligations under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. You should consult a
qualified legal adviser.
57
Our taxes. We report the operations of Separate Account VL-R in our federal
income tax return, but we currently pay no income tax on Separate Account
VL-R's investment income and capital gains, because these items are, for tax
purposes, reflected in our variable universal life insurance policy reserves.
We currently make no charge to any Separate Account VL-R division for taxes. We
reserve the right to make a charge in the future for taxes incurred; for
example, a charge to Separate Account VL-R for income taxes we incur that are
allocable to the Policy.
We may have to pay state, local or other taxes in addition to applicable
taxes based on premiums. At present, these taxes are not substantial. If they
increase, we may make charges for such taxes when they are attributable to
Separate Account VL-R or allocable to the Policy.
Certain Funds in which your accumulation value is invested may elect to pass
through to AGL taxes withheld by foreign taxing jurisdictions on foreign source
income. Such an election will result in additional taxable income and income
tax to AGL. The amount of additional income tax, however, may be more than
offset by credits for the foreign taxes withheld which are also passed through.
These credits may provide a benefit to AGL.
When we withhold income taxes. Generally, unless you provide us with an
election to the contrary before we make the distribution, we are required to
withhold income tax from any proceeds we distribute as part of a taxable
transaction under your Policy. In some cases, where generation skipping taxes
may apply, we may also be required to withhold for such taxes unless we are
provided satisfactory written notification that no such taxes are due.
In the case of non-resident aliens who own a Policy, the withholding rules
may be different. With respect to distributions from modified endowment
contracts, non-resident aliens are generally subject to federal income tax
withholding at a statutory rate of 30% of the distributed amount. In some
cases, the non-resident alien may be subject to lower or even no withholding if
the United States has entered into a tax treaty with his or her country of
residence.
Foreign Account Tax Compliance ("FATCA"). An owner who is not a "United
States person," which is defined under the Code to mean:
. a citizen or resident of the United States
. a partnership or corporation created or organized in the United States
or under the law of the United States or of any state, or the District
of Columbia
. any estate or trust other than a foreign estate or foreign trust (see
Code section 7701(a)(31) for the definition of a foreign estate and a
foreign trust)
. a person that meets the substantial presence test
. any other person that is not a foreign person
should be aware that FATCA, enacted in 2010, provides that a 30% withholding
tax will be imposed on certain gross payments (which could include
distributions from cash value life insurance or annuity products) made to a
foreign entity if such entity fails to provide applicable certifications under
a Form W-9, Form W-8-BEN-E, Form W-8-IMY, or other applicable form, each of
which is effective for three years from the date of signature unless a change
in circumstances makes any information on the form incorrect. Notwithstanding
the preceding sentence, certain withholding certifications will remain
effective until a change in circumstances makes any information on the form
incorrect. The Policy owner must inform the Company within 30 days of any
change in circumstances that makes any information on the form incorrect by
furnishing a new IRS Form W-8 or acceptable substitute form. An entity, for
this purpose, will be considered a foreign entity unless it provides an
applicable certification to the contrary.
58
Other withholding tax. Any owner not exempt from United States federal
withholding tax should consult a tax adviser as to the availability of an
exemption from, or reduction of, such tax under an applicable income tax
treaty, if any.
Tax changes. The U.S. Congress frequently considers legislation that, if
enacted, could change the tax treatment of life insurance policies. In
addition, the Treasury Department may amend existing regulations, issue
regulations on the qualification of life insurance and modified endowment
contracts, or adopt new interpretations of existing law. State and local tax
law or, if you are not a U.S. citizen and resident, foreign tax law, may also
affect the tax consequences to you, the insured person or your beneficiary, and
are subject to change. Any changes in federal, state, local or foreign tax law
or interpretation could have a retroactive effect. We suggest you consult a
qualified tax adviser.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no pending legal proceedings affecting the Separate Account.
Various lawsuits against AGL have arisen in the ordinary course of business. In
addition, various federal, state and other regulatory agencies may from time to
time review, examine or inquire into the operations, practices and procedures
of AGL, such as through financial examinations, market conduct exams or
regulatory inquiries.
As of April 30, 2015 the Company believes it is not likely that contingent
liabilities arising from the above matters will have a material adverse effect
on the financial condition of the Company.

GENERAL INFORMATION
AGL
We are American General Life Insurance Company ("AGL"). AGL is a stock life
insurance company organized under the laws of the State of Texas. AGL is a
successor in interest to a company originally organized under the laws of
Delaware on January 10, 1917. AGL is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of
American International Group, Inc. ("AIG"), a Delaware corporation.
AIG is a leading international insurance organization serving customers in
more than 130 countries. AIG companies serve commercial, institutional and
individual customers through one of the most extensive worldwide
property-casualty networks of any insurer. In addition, AIG companies are
leading providers of life insurance and retirement services in the United
States. AIG common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and the Tokyo
Stock Exchange.
American General Life Companies, www.americangeneral.com, is the marketing
name for a group of affiliated domestic life insurers, including AGL. The
commitments under the Contracts are AGL's, and American International Group,
Inc. has no legal obligation to back those commitments.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT VL-R
We hold the Fund shares in which any of your accumulation value is invested
in Separate Account VL-R. Separate Account VL-R is registered as a unit
investment trust with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. We created the Separate Account on May 6, 1997
under Texas law.
For record keeping and financial reporting purposes, Separate Account VL-R
is divided into 88 separate "divisions," 57 of which are available under the
Policies offered by the prospectus as variable "investment options" (14 of
these 57 investment options are not available to all Policy owners). All of
these 57 divisions and the remaining 31 divisions are offered under other AGL
policies. We hold the Fund shares in which we invest your accumulation value
for an investment option in the division that corresponds to that investment
option. One or more of the Funds may sell its shares to other funds.
The assets in Separate Account VL-R are our property. The assets in the
Separate Account may not be used to pay any liabilities of AGL other than those
arising from the Policies. AGL is obligated to pay all amounts under the
Policies due the Policy owners. We act as custodian for the Separate Account's
assets.
AMERICAN HOME ASSURANCE COMPANY
All references in this SAI to American Home Assurance Company ("American
Home") apply only to Policies with a date of issue prior to December 29, 2006
at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time.
American Home is a stock property-casualty insurance company incorporated
under the laws of the State of New York on February 7, 1899. American Home's
principal executive office is located at 175 Water Street, 18/th/ Floor,
New York, New York 10038. American Home is licensed in all 50 states of the
United States and the District of Columbia, as well as certain foreign
jurisdictions, and engages in a broad range of insurance and reinsurance
activities.
3
American Home, an affiliate of AGL, is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of
American International Group, Inc.
SERVICES
AGL and American General Life Companies, LLC ("AGLC"), were previously
parties to a services agreement. AGL and AGLC are each indirect wholly-owned
subsidiaries of American International Group, Inc. and therefore affiliates of
one another. AGLC was a Delaware limited liability company established on
August 30, 2002. Prior to that date, AGLC was a Delaware business trust. Its
address is 2727-A Allen Parkway, Houston, Texas 77019-2191. Under the services
agreement, AGLC provided shared services to AGL and certain other life
insurance companies under the American International Group, Inc. holding
company system at cost. Those services include data processing systems,
customer services, product development, actuarial, internal auditing,
accounting and legal services.
AGLC was merged into AGL at the end of 2011. AGL now provides all of the
services that were previously provided by AGLC. During 2014, 2013 and 2012, AGL
paid AIG for these services $89,509,007, $89,508,560 and $30,173,049,
respectively.
We have not designed the Policies for professional market timing
organizations or other entities or individuals using programmed and frequent
transfers involving large amounts. We currently have no contractual agreements
or any other formal or informal arrangements with any entity or individual
permitting such transfers and receive no compensation for any such contract or
arrangement.
DISTRIBUTION OF THE POLICIES
The Policies are offered on a continuous basis through AIG Capital Services,
Inc. ("ACS"), located at Harborside Financial Center, 3200 Plaza 5, Jersey
City, NJ 07311. ACS is registered as a broker-dealer under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and a member of the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). The Company and ACS are each an indirect,
wholly owned subsidiary of AIG. No underwriting fees are paid in connection
with the distribution of the policies.
We and ACS have sales agreements with various broker-dealers and banks under
which the Policies will be sold by registered representatives of the
broker-dealers or employees of the banks. These registered representatives and
employees are also required to be authorized under applicable state regulations
as life insurance agents to sell variable universal life insurance. The
broker-dealers are ordinarily required to be registered with the SEC and must
be members of FINRA.
We pay compensation directly to broker-dealers and banks for promotion and
sales of the Policies. The compensation may vary with the sales agreement, but
is generally not expected to exceed:
. 90% of the premiums received in the first Policy year up to a "target"
amount;
. 3% of the premiums up to the target amount received in each of Policy
years 2 through 10;
. 3% of the premiums in excess of the target amount received in each of
Policy years 1 through 10;
4
. 0.25% annually of the Policy's accumulation value (reduced by any
outstanding loans) in the investment options in each of Policy years 2
through 20;
. 0.15% annually of the Policy's accumulation value (reduced by any
outstanding loans) in the investment options in each Policy year after
Policy year 20;
. a comparable amount of compensation to broker-dealers or banks with
respect to any increase in the specified amount of coverage that you
request; and
. any amounts that we may pay for broker-dealers or banks expense
allowances, bonuses, wholesaler fees, training allowances or additional
compensation for the Policies.
The greater the percentage of supplemental coverage the owner selects when
applying for a Policy or on future increases to the specified amount, the less
compensation we would pay either for the sale of the Policy or for any
additional premiums received during the first 10 Policy years (we do not pay
compensation for premiums we receive after the 10th Policy year). We will pay
the maximum level of compensation if the owner chooses 100% base coverage.
At our discretion, we may pay additional first Policy year commissions to
any broker-dealer or bank for sales conducted by a particular registered
representative of that broker-dealer or bank. We may pay up to a total of 115%
of the premiums we receive in the first Policy year.
The target amount is an amount of level annual premium that would be
necessary to support the benefits under your Policy, based on certain
assumptions that we believe are reasonable.
The maximum value of any alternative amounts we may pay for sales of the
Policies is expected to be equivalent over time to the amounts described above.
For example, we may pay a broker-dealer compensation in a lump sum which will
not exceed the aggregate compensation described above.
We pay the compensation directly to any selling broker-dealer firm or bank.
We pay the compensation from our own resources which does not result in any
additional charge to you that is not described in your Policy. Each
broker-dealer firm or bank, in turn, may compensate its registered
representative or employee who acts as agent in selling you a Policy.
We sponsor a non-qualified deferred compensation plan ("Plan") for our
insurance agents. Some of our agents are registered representatives of our
affiliated broker-dealers and sell the Policies. These agents may, subject to
regulatory approval, receive benefits under the Plan when they sell the
Policies. The benefits are deferred and the Plan terms may result in the agent
never receiving the benefits. The Plan provides for a varying amount of
benefits annually. We have the right to change the Plan in ways that affect the
amount of benefits earned each year.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
From time to time, we may quote performance information for the divisions of
Separate Account VL-R in advertisements, sales literature, or reports to owners
or prospective investors.
We may quote performance information in any manner permitted under
applicable law. We may, for example, present such information as a change in a
hypothetical owner's cash value or death benefit. We also may present the yield
or total return of the division based on a
5
hypothetical investment in a Policy. The performance information shown may
cover various periods of time, including periods beginning with the
commencement of the operations of the division or the Fund in which it invests.
The performance information shown may reflect the deduction of one or more
charges, such as the premium charge, and we generally expect to exclude costs
of insurance charges because of the individual nature of these charges. We also
may present the yield or total return of the investment option in which a
division invests.
We may compare a division's performance to that of other variable universal
life separate accounts or investment products, as well as to generally accepted
indices or analyses, such as those provided by research firms and rating
services. In addition, we may use performance ratings that may be reported
periodically in financial publications, such as Money Magazine, Forbes,
Business Week, Fortune, Financial Planning and The Wall Street Journal. We also
may advertise ratings of AGL's financial strength or claims-paying ability as
determined by firms that analyze and rate insurance companies and by nationally
recognized statistical rating organizations.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE POLICIES
The purpose of this section is to provide you with information to help
clarify certain discussion found in the related prospectus. Many topics, such
as Policy sales loads and increases in your Policy's death benefit, have been
fully described in the related prospectus. For any topics that we do not
discuss in this SAI, please see the related prospectus.
Gender neutral policies. Congress and the legislatures of various states
have from time to time considered legislation that would require insurance
rates to be the same for males and females of the same age, premium class and
tobacco user status. In addition, employers and employee organizations should
consider, in consultation with counsel, the impact of Title VII of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964 on the purchase of life insurance policies in connection
with an employment-related insurance or benefit plan. In a 1983 decision, the
United States Supreme Court held that, under Title VII, optional annuity
benefits under a deferred compensation plan could not vary on the basis of
gender. In general, we do not offer the Policies for sale in situations which,
under current law, require gender-neutral premiums or benefits. However, we
offer Platinum Investor III Policies on both a gender-neutral and sex-distinct
basis.
Cost of insurance rates. Because of specified amount increases, different
cost of insurance rates may apply to different increments of specified amount
under your Policy. If so, we attribute your accumulation value proportionately
to each increment of specified amount to compute our net amount at risk.
Special purchase plans. Special purchase plans provide for variations in, or
elimination of, certain Policy charges, and would be available to a defined
group of individuals. We currently do not provide for or support any special
purchase plans.
Underwriting procedures and cost of insurance charges. Cost of insurance
charges for the Policies will not be the same for all Policy owners. The chief
reason is that the principle of pooling and distribution of mortality risks is
based upon the assumption that each Policy owner pays a cost of insurance
charge related to the insured's mortality risk which is actuarially determined
based upon factors such as age, sex and risk class of the insured and the face
amount size band of the Policy. In the context of life insurance, a uniform
mortality charge (the "cost of insurance charge") for all insureds would
discriminate unfairly in favor of those insureds representing greater mortality
risks to the disadvantage of those representing lesser risks.
6
Accordingly, although there will be a uniform "public offering price" for all
Policy owners, because premiums are flexible and amounts allocated to the
Separate Account will be subject to some charges that are the same for all
owners, there will be a different "price" for each actuarial category of Policy
owners because different cost of insurance rates will apply. The "price" will
also vary based on net amount at risk. The Policies will be offered and sold
pursuant to this cost of insurance schedule and our underwriting standards and
in accordance with state insurance laws. Such laws prohibit unfair
discrimination among insureds, but recognize that premiums must be based upon
factors such as age, sex, health and occupation. A table showing the maximum
cost of insurance charges will be delivered as part of the Policy.
Our underwriting procedures are designed to treat applicants for Policies in
a uniform manner. Collection of required medical information is conducted in a
confidential manner. We maintain underwriting standards designed to avoid
unfair or inconsistent decisions about which underwriting class should apply to
a particular proposed insured person. In some group or employment-related
situations, we may offer what we call simplified or guaranteed issue
underwriting classes. These underwriting classes provide for brief or no
medical underwriting. Our offer to insure a person under either class results
in cost of insurance charges that are the same for each insured person.
Certain arrangements. Most of the advisers or administrators of the Funds
make certain payments to us, on a quarterly basis, for certain administrative,
Policy, and Policy owner support expenses. These amounts will be reasonable for
the services performed and are not designed to result in a profit. Currently,
these payments range from 0.15% to 0.35% of the market value of the assets
invested in the underlying Fund as of a certain date, usually paid at the end
of each calendar quarter. Except for the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, these
amounts will not be paid by the Funds or Policy owners.
MORE ABOUT THE FIXED ACCOUNT
Our general account. Our general account assets are all of our assets that
we do not hold in legally segregated separate accounts. Our general account
supports our obligations to you under your Policy's declared Fixed Account.
Unlike the Separate Account, the assets in the general account may be used to
pay any liabilities of AGL in addition to those arising from the Policies.
Because of applicable exemptions, no interest in this option has been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Neither our general
account nor our Fixed Account is an investment company under the Investment
Company Act of 1940. We have been advised that the staff of the SEC has not
reviewed the disclosures that are included in this prospectus for your
information about our general account or our Fixed Account. Those disclosures,
however, may be subject to certain generally applicable provisions of the
federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements
made in prospectuses.
How we declare interest. Except for amounts held as collateral for loans, we
can at any time change the rate of interest we are paying on any accumulation
value allocated to our Fixed Account, but it will always be at an annual
effective rate shown on your Policy Schedule.
Under these procedures, it is likely that at any time different interest
rates will apply to different portions of your accumulation value, depending on
when each portion was allocated to our fixed Account. Any charges, partial
surrenders, or loans that we take from any accumulation value that you have in
our fixed Account will be taken from each portion in reverse chronological
order based on the date that accumulation value was allocated to this option.
7
ADJUSTMENTS TO DEATH BENEFIT
Suicide. If the insured person commits suicide during the first two Policy
years, we will limit the proceeds payable to the total of all premiums that
have been paid to the time of death minus any outstanding Policy loans (plus
credit for any unearned interest) and any partial surrenders.
A new two-year period begins if you increase the specified amount. You can
increase the specified amount only if the insured person is living at the time
of the increase. In this case, if the insured person commits suicide during the
first two years following the increase, we will refund the monthly insurance
deductions attributable to the increase. The death benefit will then be based
on the specified amount in effect before the increase.
Wrong age or gender. If the age or gender of the insured person was
misstated on your application for a Policy (or for any increase in benefits),
we will adjust any death benefit to be what the monthly insurance charge
deducted for the current month would have purchased based on the correct
information.
Death during grace period. We will deduct from the insurance proceeds any
monthly charges that remain unpaid because the insured person died during a
grace period.
ACTUARIAL EXPERT
Actuarial matters have been examined by Tim Donovan, who is Chief Life
Pricing Actuary and Portfolio Manager of AGL. An opinion on actuarial matters
is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement we have filed with the SEC
in connection with the Policies.
MATERIAL CONFLICTS
We are required to track events to identify any material conflicts from
using investment portfolios for both variable universal life and variable
annuity separate accounts. The boards of the Funds, AGL, and other insurance
companies participating in the Funds have this same duty. There may be a
material conflict if:
. state insurance law or federal income tax law changes;
. investment management of an investment portfolio changes; or
. voting instructions given by owners of variable universal life insurance
Policies and variable annuity contracts differ.
The investment portfolios may sell shares to certain qualified pension and
retirement plans qualifying under Code Section 401. These include cash or
deferred arrangements under Code Section 401(k). One or more of the investment
portfolios may sell its shares to other investment portfolios. Therefore, there
is a possibility that a material conflict may arise between the interests of
owners in general, or certain classes of owners, and these retirement plans or
participants in these retirement plans.
If there is a material conflict, we have the duty to determine appropriate
action, including removing the portfolios involved from our variable investment
options. We may take other
8
action to protect Policy owners. This could mean delays or interruptions of the
variable operations.
When state insurance regulatory authorities require us, we may ignore
instructions relating to changes in an investment portfolio's adviser or its
investment policies. If we do ignore voting instructions, we give you a summary
of our actions in the next semi-annual report to owners.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of American General Life Insurance Company and the
Contractholders of its separate account, Separate Account VL-R:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the schedules of portfolio investments, and the related statements of
operations and of changes in net assets present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of each of the Divisions constituting Separate
Account VL-R (the "Separate Account"), a separate account of American General
Life Insurance Company, at December 31, 2014, the results of their operations
for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two
years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Separate Account's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We
conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the
standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2014 by
correspondence with the mutual fund companies and transfer agents, provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

VL-R - 32
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
SEPARATE ACCOUNT VL-R
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements of the Separate Account have been
prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America ("GAAP"). The accounting principles followed by the Separate
Account and the methods of applying those principles are presented below.
USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of income
and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INVESTMENT INCOME - Security transactions
which represent purchases and sales of investments are accounted for on the
trade date at fair value. Realized gains and losses from security transactions
are determined on the basis of first-in first-out. Dividend income and
distributions of capital gains are recorded on the ex-dividend date and
reinvested upon receipt.
POLICY LOANS - When a policy loan is made, the loan amount is transferred to
the Company from the policy owner's selected investment Division(s), and held
as collateral. Interest on this collateral amount is credited to the policy.
Loan repayments are invested in the policy owner's selected investment
Division(s), after they are first used to repay all loans taken from the
declared fixed interest account option.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES - The Company is taxed as a life insurance company under
the Internal Revenue Code and includes the operations of the Separate Account
in determining its federal income tax liability. As a result, the Separate
Account is not taxed as a "Regulated Investment Company" under subchapter M of
the Internal Revenue Code. Under existing federal income tax law, the
investment income and capital gains from sales of investments realized by the
Separate Account are not taxable. Therefore, no federal income tax provision
has been made.
ACCUMULATION UNIT - This is a measuring unit used to calculate the policy
owner's interest. Such units are valued on each day that the New York Stock
Exchange ("NYSE") is open for business to reflect investment performance and
the prorated daily deduction for mortality and expense risk charges.
INTERNAL ROLLOVERS - A policy owner with an eligible Company life insurance
policy may elect to replace their existing policy with another insurance policy
offered by the Company. Internal rollovers are included in the Statements of
Changes in Net Assets under principal transactions.
NOTE 3 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the Separate Account balance
sheet are measured and classified in a hierarchy for disclosure purposes
consisting of three "levels" based on the observability of inputs available in
the marketplace used to measure the fair values as discussed below. In certain
cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of
the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy
within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined
based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement in its entirety. The Separate Account's assessment of the
significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its
entirety requires judgments. In making the assessment, the Separate Account
considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
Level 1-- Fair value measurements that are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active
markets that the Separate Account has the ability to access for identical
assets or liabilities. Market price data generally is obtained from exchange or
dealer markets. The Separate Account does not adjust the quoted price for such
instruments. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis
and classified as Level 1 include government and agency securities, actively
traded listed common stocks and derivative contracts, most separate account
assets and most mutual funds.
Level 2-- Fair value measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices
included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets
and liability in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are
observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves
that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Assets and liabilities
measured at fair value on a recurring basis and classified as Level 2 generally
include certain government securities, most investment-grade and high-yield
corporate bonds, certain asset backed securities, certain listed equities,
state, municipal and provincial obligations, hybrid securities, and derivative
contracts.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT VL-R
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
NOTE 3 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS - CONTINUED
Level 3-- Fair value measurements based on valuation techniques that use
significant inputs that are unobservable. These measurements include
circumstances in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset
or liability. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring
basis and classified as Level 3 principally include certain fixed income
securities and equities.
The Separate Account assets measured at fair value as of December 31, 2014
consist of investments in registered mutual funds that generally trade daily
and are measured at fair value using quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets, which are classified as Level 1. See the Schedule of
Portfolio Investments for the table presenting information about assets
measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2014, and
respective hierarchy levels. As all assets of the Separate Account are
classified as Level 1, no reconciliation of Level 3 assets and change in
unrealized gains (losses) for Level 3 assets still held as of December 31,
2014, is presented.
NOTE 4 - POLICY CHARGES
DEDUCTIONS FROM PREMIUM PAYMENTS - Certain jurisdictions require that a
deduction be made from each premium payment for premium taxes. The amount of
such deduction currently ranges from 0% to 3.5%. For AG Corporate Investor,
Corporate America, and Corporate Investor Select policies, the Company deducts
from each premium payment a charge to cover costs associated with the issuance
of the policy, administrative services the Company performs and a premium tax
that is applicable to the Company in the state or other jurisdiction of the
policy owner. A summary of premium expense charges for AG Corporate Investor,
Corporate America, and Corporate Investor Select policies follows:
POLICIES PREMIUM EXPENSE
-------- -------------------------------------------------
AG Corporate Investor 4% up to the "target premium" and 5% on any
premium amounts in excess of the "target premium"
for policy years 1-3. 9% up to the "target
premium" and 5% on any premium amounts in excess
of the "target premium" for policy years 4-7. 5%
of all premium payments in policy years 8 and
thereafter.
Corporate America 9% up to the "target premium" and 5% on any
premium amounts in excess of the "target premium"
for policy years 1-7. 5% of all premium payments
in policy years 8 and thereafter.
Corporate Investor Select 4% up to the "target premium" and 5% on any
premium amounts in excess of the "target premium"
for policy years 1-3. 9% up to the "target
premium" and 5% on any premium amounts in excess
of the "target premium" for policy years 4-7. 5%
of all premium payments in policy years 8 and
thereafter.
The "target premium" is an amount of premium that is approximately equal to the
seven-pay premium, which is the maximum amount of premium that may be paid
without the policy becoming a modified endowment contract.
For other policies offered through the Separate Account (except for AG
Corporate Investor, Corporate America, Corporate Investor Select, and AG Legacy
Plus), the following premium expense charge may be deducted from each after-tax
premium payment, prior to allocation to the Separate Account.

MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK AND ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGES - The expense risk charge
is compensation for assuming the risk that the current contract administration
charges will be insufficient in the future to cover the cost of administering
the contract.
Deductions for administrative expenses and mortality and expense risks assumed
by the Company are assessed through the daily unit value calculation and paid
to the Company from the daily net asset value of the Divisions. A summary of
these charges by policy follows:

GUARANTEED MINIMUM WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT (GMWB) RIDER CHARGE - Daily charges for
the GMWB rider are assessed through the daily unit value calculation on all
policies that have elected this option and are equivalent, on an annual basis,
to 0.75% of the value of the policy, which may be increased to a maximum of
1.50%. These charges are included as part of the mortality and expense risk and
administrative charges line of the Statements of Operations.
MONTHLY ADMINISTRATIVE AND EXPENSE CHARGES - Monthly administrative charges are
paid to the Company for the administrative services provided under the current
policies. The Company may charge a maximum fee of $12 for the monthly
administration charge. The Company may deduct an additional monthly expense
charge for expenses associated with acquisition, administrative and
underwriting of your policy. The monthly expense charge is applied only against
each $1,000 of coverage (if the policy offers both base and supplement
coverage, then only each $1000 of base coverage). This charge varies according
to the ages, gender and the premium class of the insured, as well as the amount
of coverage. The monthly administrative and expense charges are paid by
redemption of units outstanding. Monthly administrative and expense charges are
included with cost of insurance and other charges in the Statements of Changes
in Net Assets under principal transactions.
COST OF INSURANCE CHARGE - Since determination of both the insurance rate and
the Company's net amount at risk depends upon several factors, the cost of
insurance deduction may vary from month to month. Policy accumulation value,
specified amount of insurance and certain characteristics of the insured person
are among the variables included in the calculation for the monthly cost of
insurance deduction. The cost of insurance charges are paid by redemption of
units outstanding. Cost of insurance charges are included in the Statements of
Changes in Net Assets under principal transactions.
OPTIONAL RIDER CHARGES - Monthly charges are deducted if the policy owner
selects additional benefit riders. The charges for any rider selected will vary
by policy within a range based on either the personal characteristics of the
insured person or the specific coverage chosen under the rider. The rider
charges are paid by redemption of units outstanding. Optional rider charges are
included with cost of insurance and other charges in the Statements of Changes
in Net Assets under principal transactions.

TRANSFER CHARGES - The Company reserves the right to charge a $25 transfer fee
for each transfer between divisions in excess of 12 during the policy year.
Transfer requests are subject to the Company's published rules concerning
market timing. A policy owner who violates these rules will for a period of
time (typically six months), have certain restrictions placed on transfers. The
transfer charges are paid by redemption of units outstanding. Transfer charges
are included with net transfers from (to) other divisions or fixed rate option
in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets under principal transactions.
SURRENDER CHARGE - A surrender charge may be applicable to certain withdrawal
amounts and is payable to the Company. The amount of the surrender charge
depends on the age and other insurance characteristics of the insured person.
For partial surrenders, the Company may charge a maximum transaction fee per
partial surrender equal to the lesser of 2% of the amount withdrawn or $25.
Currently, a $10 transaction fee per policy is charged for each partial
surrender. The surrender and partial withdrawal charges are paid by redemption
of units outstanding. Surrender and partial withdrawal charges are included
with withdrawals in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets under principal
transactions.
POLICY LOAN - A loan may be requested against the policy while the policy has a
net cash surrender value. The daily interest charge on the loan is paid to the
Company for the expenses of administering and providing policy loans. The
interest charge is collected through any loan repayment from the policyholder.

/(1)/ These amounts represent the dividends, excluding capital gain
distributions from mutual funds, received by the Division from the
underlying mutual fund, net of management fees assessed by the fund
manager, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those
expenses, such as mortality and expense risk charges, that result in
direct reduction in the unit value. The recognition of investment income
by the Division is affected by the timing of the declaration of
dividends by the underlying fund in which the Divisions invest. From
2011 these amounts represent the aggregate ratio of each underlying
fund, rather than a range as presented in prior years.
/(2)/ These amounts represent the annualized policy expenses of the Separate
Account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense risk charges, for
each year indicated. These ratios include only those expenses that
result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to
policy owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of
the underlying fund have been excluded.
/(3)/ These amounts represent the total return for the years indicated,
including changes in the value of the underlying Division, and reflect
deductions for those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit
values. The total return does not include policy charges deducted
directly from account values. For the years ended December 31, 2014,
2013, 2012, 2011, and 2010, a total return was calculated using the
initial unit value for the Division if the Division became an available
investment option during the year and the underlying Fund was not
available at the beginning of the year.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of American General Life Insurance
Company:
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related
consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income (loss), equity and cash
flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
American General Life Insurance Company and its subsidiaries (the "Company"),
an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of American International Group, Inc., at
December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014 in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
American General Life Insurance Company (AGL), including its wholly owned
subsidiaries, is a wholly owned subsidiary of AGC Life Insurance Company (AGC
Life or the Parent), which is in turn an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of
American International Group, Inc. (AIG Parent). Unless the context indicates
otherwise, the terms "AGL," "the Company," "we," "us" or "our" mean American
General Life Insurance Company and its consolidated entities, and the term "AIG
Parent" means American International Group, Inc. and not any of AIG Parent's
consolidated subsidiaries.
We are a leading provider of individual term and universal life insurance
solutions to middle-income and high net worth customers, as well as a leading
provider of fixed and variable annuities. Our primary products include term
life insurance, universal, variable universal and whole life insurance,
accident and health insurance, single- and flexible-premium deferred fixed and
variable annuities, fixed index deferred annuities, single-premium immediate
and delayed-income annuities, private placement variable annuities, structured
settlements, corporate- and bank-owned life insurance, terminal funding
annuities, guaranteed investment contracts (GICs) and funding agreements,
stable value wrap products and group benefits. We distribute our products
through independent marketing organizations, independent and career insurance
agents and financial advisors, banks, broker dealers, structured settlement
brokers and benefit consultants, and direct-to-consumer through AIG Direct. We
also provide support services to certain affiliated insurance companies through
our subsidiaries, AIG Enterprise Services LLC (AIGES) and SunAmerica Asset
Management LLC (SAAMCo).
SAAMCo and its wholly owned distributor, AIG Capital Services, Inc. (AIGCS),
and its wholly owned servicing agent, SunAmerica Fund Services, Inc. (SFS),
represent our asset management operations. These companies earn fee income by
managing, distributing and administering a diversified family of mutual funds
and variable subaccounts offered within our variable annuity and variable
universal life products, and by distributing retail mutual funds and providing
professional management of individual, corporate and pension plan portfolios.
Our operations are influenced by many factors, including general economic
conditions, financial condition of AIG, monetary and fiscal policies of the
United States federal government and policies of state and other regulatory
authorities. The level of sales of our insurance and financial products is
influenced by many factors, including general market rates of interest, the
strength, weakness and volatility of equity markets and terms and conditions of
competing products. We are exposed to the risks normally associated with a
portfolio of fixed income securities, which include interest rate, option,
liquidity and credit risks. We control our exposure to these risks by, among
other things, closely monitoring and managing the duration and cash flows of
our assets and liabilities, monitoring and limiting prepayments and extension
risk in our portfolio, maintaining a large percentage of our portfolio in
highly liquid securities, engaging in a disciplined process of underwriting,
and reviewing and monitoring credit risk. We are also exposed to market risk,
policyholder behavior risk and mortality/longevity risk. Market volatility and
other equity market conditions may affect our exposure to risks related to
guaranteed death benefits and guaranteed living benefits on variable annuity
products, and may reduce fee income on variable product assets held in separate
accounts. Such guaranteed benefits are sensitive to equity and interest rate
market conditions.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Certain prior period items have been reclassified to conform to the current
period's presentation.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, our
controlled subsidiaries (generally through a greater than 50 percent ownership
of voting rights of a voting interest entity), and variable interest entities
(VIEs) for which we are the primary beneficiary. Equity investments in entities
that we do not consolidate, including corporate entities in which we have
significant influence, and partnership and partnership-like entities in which
we have more than minor influence over operating and financial policies, are
accounted for under the equity method unless we have elected the fair value
option. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms "financial
statements," "Balance Sheets," "Statements of Income," "Statements of
Comprehensive Income," "Statements of Equity," "Statements of Cash Flows,"
"Notes to Financial Statements," "financial position," and "results of
operations" refer to the applicable consolidated disclosure.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Presentation Changes
Policy fees related to features accounted for as embedded derivatives in
variable annuity products, including guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits and
guaranteed minimum account value benefits, are included in the fair value
measurement of embedded derivatives. Effective December 31, 2014, we
reclassified fees related to these embedded derivatives to net realized capital
gains, with no effect to the fair value measurement of the embedded
derivatives, net income or shareholder's equity. Accordingly, a portion of
prior period policy fees have been reclassified to net realized capital gains
to conform to the current period presentation. See Note 11 for information on
variable annuity guaranteed benefit features and Note 3 for discussion of the
fair value measurement of embedded policy derivatives, including our policy on
classification of fees.
The effect of the change in presentation of these policy fees on the prior
period financial statements was as follows:

Out of Period Adjustments
In 2014, we recorded out of period adjustments to correct errors related to
prior periods, which resulted in a $20 million decrease to pre-tax income and
an $8 million decrease to net income and comprehensive income. The most
significant pre-tax item was to reverse interest that had incorrectly been
accrued in prior years on mortgage loans that are troubled debt restructurings.
In 2013, we recorded out of period adjustments to correct errors related to
prior periods, which resulted in a $63 million decrease to pre-tax income and a
$167 million increase to net income and comprehensive income. In 2012, we
recorded out of period adjustments which decreased pre-tax income by $109
million and decreased net income and comprehensive income by $83 million. We
have evaluated the effect of the errors on prior years and on the respective
years in which they were corrected, taking into account both qualitative and
quantitative factors. Management believes these errors and their corrections
are not material to any previously issued financial statements.
Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements
The Balance Sheet at December 31, 2013 and the Statements of Cash Flows for the
years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 have been revised to correct the
classification of certain items that had been reported in cash and short-term
investments. These revisions had no impact on total assets, total liabilities
or shareholder's equity in the prior periods that were revised. We evaluated
the impact of these items on the respective balance sheet line items and on the
categories within the statement of cash flows. The reclassifications included:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
. Correction of the classification of cash held within consolidated VIEs
from cash to restricted cash, which is reported within other assets;
. Correction of the classification of certain collateral margin accounts
related to derivative transactions from short-term investments to
premiums and other receivables; and
. Correction of the classification of certain accounts between cash and
short-term investments to correctly reflect the nature of the related
account as either a non-interest bearing depository account or an
interest-bearing account.
After evaluating the quantitative and qualitative aspects of these corrections,
the revisions were not considered to be material, individually or in aggregate,
to the previously issued 2013 and 2012 financial statements. The net effects on
the financial statements resulting from these revisions were as follows:

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the
application of accounting policies that often involve a significant degree of
judgment. Accounting policies that we believe are most dependent on the
application of estimates and assumptions are considered our critical accounting
estimates and are related to the determination of:
.. income tax assets and liabilities, including recoverability of our net
deferred tax asset and the predictability of future tax operating
profitability of the character necessary to realize the net deferred tax
asset;
.. valuation of future policy benefit liabilities and timing and extent of
loss recognition;
.. valuation of liabilities for guaranteed benefit features of variable
annuity products;
.. recoverability of assets, including deferred policy acquisition costs (DAC)
and reinsurance;
.. estimated gross profits (EGP) to value DAC for investment-oriented products;
.. impairment charges, including other-than-temporary impairments on available
for sale securities; and
10
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
.. fair value measurements of certain financial assets and liabilities.
These accounting estimates require the use of assumptions about matters, some
of which are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. To the extent actual
experience differs from the assumptions used, our financial condition, results
of operations and cash flows could be materially affected.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following table identifies our significant accounting policies presented in
other Notes to these Financial Statements, with a reference to the Note where a
detailed description can be found:

Note 11. Variable Life and Annuity Contracts
Note 12. Debt
. Long-term debt
Note 13. Commitments and contingencies
. Legal contingencies
Note 16. Income Taxes
Other significant accounting policies
Premiums for long-duration life insurance products and life contingent
annuities are recognized as revenues when due. Estimates for premiums due but
not yet collected are accrued. For limited-payment contracts, net premiums are
recorded as revenue. The difference between the gross premium received and the
net premium is deferred and recognized in policyholder benefits in the
Statements of Income.
Premiums on accident and health policies are earned primarily on a pro rata
basis over the term of the related coverage. The reserves for unearned premiums
includes the portion of premiums written relating to the unexpired terms of
coverage.
Reinsurance premiums ceded are recognized as a reduction in revenues over the
period the reinsurance coverage is provided in proportion to the risks to which
the premiums relate.
11
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Policy fees represent fees recognized from universal life and investment-type
products consisting of policy charges for cost of insurance, policy
administration charges, surrender charges and amortization of unearned revenue
reserves.
Other income primarily includes advisory fees and commissions from the broker
dealer business and income from legal settlements. Aircraft leasing revenue
from flight equipment under operating lease was recognized over the life of the
leases as rental payments became receivable under the provision of the lease
or, in case of leases with varying payments, under the straight-line method
over the non-cancelable terms of the lease. In certain cases, leases provided
for certain payments contingent on usage. In those cases, rental revenue was
recognized at the time such usage occurred, net of estimated contractual
aircraft maintenance reimbursements. Gains on sales of flight equipment were
recognized when flight equipment was sold and the risk of ownership of the
equipment passed to the new owner.
Cash represents cash on hand and non-interest bearing demand deposits.
Other assets consist of prepaid expenses, deposits, other deferred charges,
real estate, other fixed assets, capitalized software costs and restricted cash.
We offer sales inducements, which include enhanced crediting rates or bonus
payments to contract holders (bonus interest) on certain annuity and investment
contract products. Sales inducements provided to the contract holder are
recognized as part of the liability for policyholder contract deposits on the
Balance Sheets. Such amounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the
contract using the same methodology and assumptions used to amortize DAC. To
qualify for such accounting treatment, the bonus interest must be explicitly
identified in the contract at inception, and we must demonstrate that such
amounts are incremental to amounts we credit on similar contracts without bonus
interest, and are higher than the contracts expected ongoing crediting rates
for periods after the bonus period. The amortization expense associated with
these assets is reported within interest credited to policyholder account
balances in the Statements of Income.
See Note 8 for additional information on deferred sales inducements.
Separate accounts represent funds for which investment income and investment
gains and losses accrue directly to the contract holders who bear the
investment risk. Each account has specific investment objectives and the assets
are carried at fair value. The assets of each account are legally segregated
and are not subject to claims that arise from any of our other businesses. The
liabilities for these accounts are equal to the account assets. Separate
accounts may also include deposits for funds held under stable value wrap
funding agreements, although the majority of stable value wrap sales are
measured based on the notional amount included in assets under management and
do not include the receipt of funds.
For additional discussion of separate accounts, see Note 11.
Other liabilities include other funds on deposit, other payables, and
securities sold under agreements to repurchase.
Accounting Standards Adopted During 2014
Presentation of Unrecognized Tax Benefits
In July 2013, the FASB issued an accounting standard that requires a liability
related to unrecognized tax benefits to be presented as a reduction to the
related deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward or a tax
credit carryforward. When the carryforwards are not available at the reporting
date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction or the tax law of the
applicable jurisdiction does not require, and the entity does not intend to
use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit will
be presented in the financial statements as a liability and will not be
combined with the related deferred tax asset.
We adopted the standard on its required effective date of January 1, 2014 on a
prospective basis. The adoption of this standard had no material effect on our
consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
12
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Future Application of Accounting Standards
Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects
In January 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard that revises the
accounting and expands the disclosure requirements for investments in qualified
affordable housing projects. The standard is effective for annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2014, but early adoption is permitted. We plan to
adopt the standard prospectively on its required effective date of January 1,
2015 and do not expect adoption of the standard to have a material effect on
our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard that supersedes most
existing revenue recognition guidance. The new standard excludes from its scope
the accounting for insurance contracts, leases, financial instruments, and
other agreements that are governed under other GAAP guidance, but affects the
revenue recognition for certain of our other activities.
The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning
after December 15, 2016 and may be applied retrospectively or through a
cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings at the date of adoption.
Early adoption is not permitted. We plan to adopt the standard with an
effective date of January 1, 2018, which reflects proposed one-year deferral by
the FASB and are assessing the impact of the standard on our financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Measuring the Financial Assets and the Financial Liabilities of a Consolidated
Collateralized Financing Entity
In August 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard that allows a reporting
entity to measure the financial assets and financial liabilities of a
qualifying consolidated collateralized financing entity using the fair value of
either its financial assets or financial liabilities, whichever is more
observable.
The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning
after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The standard may be
applied retrospectively to all relevant prior periods presented starting with
January 1, 2010 or through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings
at the date of adoption. We plan to adopt the standard on its required
effective date of January 1, 2016 and do not expect the adoption of the
standard to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows.
Consolidation: Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis
In February 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standard that affects reporting
entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain
legal entities. Specifically, the amendments modify the evaluation of whether
limited partnerships and similar legal entities are VIEs or voting interest
entities; eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a
limited partnership; affect the consolidation analysis of reporting entities
that are involved with VIEs, particularly those that have fee arrangements and
related party relationships; and provide a scope exception from consolidation
guidance for reporting entities with interests in legal entities that are
required to comply with or operate in accordance with requirements that are
similar to those in Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for
registered money market funds.
The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning
after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an
interim period. The standard may be applied retrospectively or through a
cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the
year of adoption. We plan to adopt the standard on its required effective date
of January 1, 2016 and are assessing the impact of the standard on our
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis
We carry certain financial instruments at fair value. We define the fair value
of a financial instrument as the amount that would be received from the sale of
an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date. We are responsible for the
determination of the value of the investments carried at fair value and the
supporting methodologies and assumptions.
The degree of judgment used in measuring the fair value of financial
instruments generally inversely correlates with the level of observable
valuation inputs. We maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use
of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Financial instruments with
quoted prices in active markets generally have more pricing observability and
less judgment is used in measuring fair value. Conversely, financial
instruments for which no quoted prices are available have less observability
and are measured at fair value using valuation models or other pricing
techniques that require more judgment. Pricing observability is affected by a
number of factors, including the type of financial instrument, whether the
financial instrument is new to the market and not yet established, the
characteristics specific to the transaction, liquidity and general market
conditions.
Fair Value Hierarchy
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the Balance Sheets are
measured and classified in accordance with a fair value hierarchy consisting of
three levels based on the observability of valuation inputs:
.. Level 1: Fair value measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in
active markets that we have the ability to access for identical assets or
liabilities. Market price data generally is obtained from exchange or
dealer markets. We do not adjust the quoted price for such instruments.
.. Level 2: Fair value measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices
included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar
assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or
similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs
other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability,
such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly
quoted intervals.
.. Level 3: Fair value measurements based on valuation techniques that use
significant inputs that are unobservable. Both observable and unobservable
inputs may be used to determine the fair values of positions classified in
Level 3. The circumstances for using these measurements include those in
which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.
Therefore, we must make certain assumptions as to the inputs a hypothetical
market participant would use to value that asset or liability. In certain
cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels
of the fair value hierarchy. In those cases, the level in the fair value
hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is
determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair
value measurement in its entirety.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for
instruments carried at fair value. These methodologies are applied to assets
and liabilities across the levels discussed above, and it is the observability
of the inputs used that determines the appropriate level in the fair value
hierarchy for the respective asset or liability.
Valuation Methodologies of Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value
Incorporation of Credit Risk in Fair Value Measurements
.. Our Own Credit Risk. Fair value measurements for certain freestanding
derivatives incorporate our own credit risk by determining the explicit
cost for each counterparty to protect against its net credit exposure to us
at the balance sheet date by reference to observable AIG credit default
swap (CDS) or cash bond spreads. A derivative counterparty's net credit
exposure to us is determined based on master netting agreements, when
applicable, which
14
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
take into consideration all derivative positions with us, as well as
collateral we posted with the counterparty at the balance sheet date. We
calculate the effect of these credit spread changes using discounted cash
flow techniques that incorporate current market interest rates.
.. Counterparty Credit Risk. Fair value measurements for freestanding
derivatives incorporate counterparty credit risk by determining the
explicit cost for us to protect against our net credit exposure to each
counterparty at the balance sheet date by reference to observable
counterparty CDS spreads, when available. When not available, other
directly or indirectly observable credit spreads will be used to derive the
best estimates of the counterparty spreads. Our net credit exposure to a
counterparty is determined based on master netting agreements, which take
into consideration all derivative positions with the counterparty, as well
as collateral posted by the counterparty at the balance sheet date.
Fair values for fixed maturity securities based on observable market prices for
identical or similar instruments implicitly incorporate counterparty credit
risk. Fair values for fixed maturity securities based on internal models
incorporate counterparty credit risk by using discount rates that take into
consideration cash issuance spreads for similar instruments or other observable
information.
The cost of credit protection is determined under a discounted present value
approach considering the market levels for single name CDS spreads for each
specific counterparty, the mid-market value of the net exposure (reflecting the
amount of protection required) and the weighted average life of the net
exposure. CDS spreads are provided to us by an independent third party. We
utilize an interest rate based on the benchmark London Inter-Bank Offered Rate
(LIBOR) curve to derive our discount rates.
While this approach does not explicitly consider all potential future behavior
of the derivative transactions or potential future changes in valuation inputs,
management believes this approach provides a reasonable estimate of the fair
value of the assets and liabilities, including consideration of the impact of
non-performance risk.
Fixed Maturity Securities
Whenever available, we obtain quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets at the balance sheet date to measure fixed maturity securities at fair
value. Market price data is generally obtained from dealer markets.
We employ independent third-party valuation service providers to gather,
analyze, and interpret market information to derive fair value estimates for
individual investments based upon market-accepted methodologies and
assumptions. The methodologies used by these independent third-party valuation
services are reviewed and understood by management, through periodic discussion
with, and information provided by, the valuation services. In addition, as
discussed further below, control processes are applied to the fair values
received from third-party valuation services to ensure the accuracy of these
values.
Valuation service providers typically obtain data about market transactions and
other key valuation model inputs from multiple sources and, through the use of
widely accepted valuation methodologies, which may utilize matrix pricing,
financial models, accompanying model inputs and various assumptions, provide a
single fair value measurement for individual securities. The inputs used by the
valuation service providers include, but are not limited to, market prices from
completed transactions for identical securities and transactions of comparable
securities, benchmark yields, interest rate yield curves, credit spreads,
currency rates, quoted prices for similar securities and other market-
observable information, as applicable. If fair value is determined using
financial models, these models generally take into account, among other things,
market observable information as of the measurement date as well as the
specific attributes of the security being valued, including its term, interest
rate, credit rating, industry sector, and when applicable, collateral quality
and other security or issuer-specific information. When market transactions or
other market observable data is limited, the extent to which judgment is
applied in determining fair value is greatly increased.
We have control processes designed to ensure that the fair values received from
third party valuation services are accurately recorded, that their data inputs
and valuation techniques are appropriate and consistently applied and that the
assumptions used appear reasonable and consistent with the objective of
determining fair value. We assess the reasonableness of individual security
values received from valuation service providers through various analytical
techniques, and have procedures to escalate related questions internally and to
the third party valuation services for
15
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
resolution. To assess the degree of pricing consensus among various valuation
services for specific asset types, we have conducted comparisons of prices
received from available sources. We have used these comparisons to establish a
hierarchy for the fair values received from third party valuations services to
be used for particular security classes. We also validate prices for selected
securities through reviews by members of management who have relevant expertise
and who are independent of those charged with executing investing transactions.
When our third-party valuation service providers are unable to obtain
sufficient market observable information upon which to estimate the fair value
for a particular security, fair value is determined either by requesting
brokers who are knowledgeable about these securities to provide a price quote,
which is generally non-binding, or by employing widely accepted valuation
models. Broker prices may be based on an income approach, which converts
expected future cash flows to a single present value amount, with specific
consideration of inputs relevant to particular security types. For structured
securities, such inputs may include ratings, collateral types, geographic
concentrations, underlying loan vintages, loan delinquencies, and weighted
average coupons and maturities. When the volume or level of market activity for
a security is limited, certain inputs used to determine fair value may not be
observable in the market. Broker prices may also be based on a market approach
that considers recent transactions involving identical or similar securities.
Fair values provided by brokers are subject to similar control processes to
those noted above for fair values from third party valuation services,
including management reviews. For those corporate debt instruments (for
example, private placements) that are not traded in active markets or that are
subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect
illiquidity and non-transferability, and such adjustments generally are based
on available market evidence. When observable price quotations are not
available, fair value is determined based on discounted cash flow models using
discount rates based on credit spreads, yields or price levels of comparable
securities, adjusted for illiquidity and structure. Fair values determined
internally are also subject to management review in order to ensure that
valuation models and related inputs are reasonable.
The methodology above is relevant for all fixed maturity securities including
residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS), commercial mortgage-backed
securities (CMBS), collateralized debt obligations (CDO), other asset-backed
securities (ABS) and fixed maturity securities issued by government sponsored
entities and corporate entities.
Equity Securities Traded in Active Markets
Whenever available, we obtain quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets at the balance sheet date to measure equity securities at fair value.
Market price data is generally obtained from exchange or dealer markets.
Other Invested Assets
We initially estimate the fair value of investments in certain hedge funds,
private equity funds and other investment partnerships by reference to the
transaction price. Subsequently, we generally obtain the fair value of these
investments from net asset value information provided by the general partner or
manager of the investments, the financial statements of which are generally
audited annually. We consider observable market data and perform certain
control procedures to validate the appropriateness of using the net asset value
as a fair value measurement. The fair values of other investments carried at
fair value, such as direct private equity holdings, are initially determined
based on transaction price and are subsequently estimated based on available
evidence such as market transactions in similar instruments, other financing
transactions of the issuer and other available financial information for the
issuer, with adjustments made to reflect illiquidity as appropriate.
Short-term Investments
For short-term investments that are measured at fair value, the carrying values
of these assets approximate fair values because of the relatively short period
of time between origination and expected realization, and their limited
exposure to credit risk.
16
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Separate Account Assets
Separate account assets are composed primarily of registered and unregistered
open-end mutual funds that generally trade daily and are measured at fair value
in the manner discussed above for equity securities traded in active markets.
Freestanding Derivatives
Derivative assets and liabilities can be exchange-traded or traded
over-the-counter (OTC). We generally value exchange-traded derivatives using
quoted prices in active markets for identical derivatives at the balance sheet
date.
OTC derivatives are valued using market transactions and other observable
market evidence whenever possible, including market-based inputs to models,
model calibration to market clearing transactions, broker or dealer quotations
or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency.
When models are used, the selection of a particular model to value an OTC
derivative depends on the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent in
the instrument, as well as the availability of pricing information in the
market. We generally use similar models to value similar instruments. Valuation
models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices
and rates, yield curves, credit curves, measures of volatility, prepayment
rates and correlations of such inputs. For OTC derivatives that trade in liquid
markets, such as generic forwards, swaps and options, model inputs can
generally be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other
means, and model selection does not involve significant management judgment.
For certain OTC derivatives that trade in less liquid markets, where we
generally do not have corroborating market evidence to support significant
model inputs and cannot verify the model to market transactions, the
transaction price may provide the best estimate of fair value. Accordingly,
when a pricing model is used to value such an instrument, the model is adjusted
so the model value at inception equals the transaction price. We will update
valuation inputs in these models only when corroborated by evidence such as
similar market transactions, independent third-party valuation service
providers and/or broker or dealer quotations, or other empirical market data.
When appropriate, valuations are adjusted for various factors such as
liquidity, bid/offer spreads and credit considerations. Such adjustments are
generally based on available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence,
management's best estimate is used.
Embedded Policy Derivatives
Certain variable annuity and equity index annuity and life contracts contain
embedded policy derivatives that we bifurcate from the host contracts and
account for separately at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in
earnings. These embedded derivatives are classified within policyholder
contract deposits. We have concluded these contracts contain (i) written option
guarantees on minimum accumulation value, (ii) a series of written options that
guarantee withdrawals from the highest anniversary value within a specific
period or for life, or (iii) equity-indexed written options that meet the
criteria of derivatives that must be bifurcated.
The fair value of embedded policy derivatives contained in certain variable
annuity and equity index annuity and life contracts is measured based on
actuarial and capital market assumptions related to projected cash flows over
the expected lives of the contracts. These cash flow estimates primarily
include benefits and related fees assessed, when applicable, and incorporate
expectations about policyholder behavior. Estimates of future policyholder
behavior are subjective and based primarily on our historical experience.
With respect to embedded policy derivatives in our variable annuity contracts,
because of the dynamic and complex nature of the expected cash flows,
risk-neutral valuations are used. Estimating the underlying cash flows for
these products involves judgments regarding expected market rates of return,
market volatility, correlations of market variables to funds, fund performance,
discount rates and policyholder behavior. The portion of fees attributable to
the fair value of expected benefit payments are included within the fair value
measurement of these embedded policy derivatives and related fees are
classified in net realized gains (losses) as collected, consistent with other
changes in the fair value of these embedded policy derivatives. Any additional
fees not attributed to the embedded derivative are excluded from the fair value
measurement and classified in policy fees as collected.
17
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
With respect to embedded policy derivatives in our equity index annuity and
life contracts, option pricing models are used to estimate fair value, taking
into account assumptions for future equity index growth rates, volatility of
the equity index, future interest rates, and determinations on adjusting the
participation rate and the cap on equity-indexed credited rates in light of
market conditions and policyholder behavior assumptions. These methodologies
incorporate an explicit risk margin to take into consideration market
participant estimates of projected cash flows and policyholder behavior.
We also incorporate our own risk of non-performance in the valuation of the
embedded policy derivatives associated with variable annuity and equity index
annuity and life contracts. Expected cash flows are discounted using the
interest rate swap curve (swap curve), which is commonly viewed as being
consistent with the credit spreads for highly-rated financial institutions (S&P
AA-rated or above). A swap curve shows the fixed-rate leg of a non-complex swap
against the floating rate (for example, LIBOR) leg of a related tenor. The
non-performance risk adjustment reflects a market participant's view of our
claims-paying ability by incorporating an additional spread to the swap curve
used to value embedded policy derivatives.
Notes Payable
Certain VIEs that we consolidate have each elected the fair value option for a
tranche of their structured securities (the Class X notes), which are included
in notes payable - to affiliates, net. The fair value of the Class X notes is
determined using a mark-to-model approach, discounting cash flows produced by
an internally validated model. Cash flows are discounted based on current
market spreads for U.S. collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), adjusted for
structural specific attributes. The market spreads for U.S. CLOs include a
spread premium to compensate for the complexity and perceived illiquidity of
the Class X notes. The spread premium was derived on the respective issuance
dates of the Class X notes, with reference to the issuance spread on tranches
of structured securities issued by the same entities that were purchased by
independent, non-affiliated third parties.

Transfers of Level 1 and Level 2 Assets and Liabilities
Our policy is to record transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and
Level 2 at their fair values as of the end of each reporting period, consistent
with the date of the determination of fair value. Assets are transferred out of
Level 1 when they are no longer transacted with sufficient frequency and volume
in an active market. Conversely, assets are transferred from Level 2 to Level 1
when transaction volume and frequency are indicative of an active market. In
2014, we transferred $13 million of preferred stock from Level 2 to Level 1. In
2013, we transferred $93 million of securities issued by the U.S. government
and government-sponsored entities from Level 1 to Level 2. We had no
significant transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 during 2014 and from Level 2 to
Level 1 during 2013.

Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair
values of positions classified in Level 3 in the tables above. As a result, the
unrealized gains (losses) on instruments held at December 31, 2014 and 2013 may
include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable (e.g.,
changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in
unobservable long-dated volatilities) inputs.
Transfers of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities
We record transfers of assets and liabilities into or out of Level 3 at their
fair values as of the end of each reporting period, consistent with the date of
the determination of fair value.
During 2014 and 2013, transfers into Level 3 assets primarily included certain
investments in private placement corporate debt, RMBS, CMBS, CDO/ABS, and
investments in hedge funds and private equity funds.
.. The transfers of investments in RMBS, CMBS and CDO and certain ABS into
Level 3 assets were due to decreases in market transparency and liquidity
for individual security types.
.. Transfers of private placement corporate debt and certain ABS into Level 3
assets were primarily the result of limited market pricing information that
required us to determine fair value for these securities based on inputs
that are adjusted to better reflect our own assumptions regarding the
characteristics of a specific security or associated market liquidity.
.. Certain investments in hedge funds were transferred into Level 3 as a
result of limited market activity due to fund-imposed redemption
restrictions.
.. Certain private equity fund investments were transferred into Level 3 due
to these investments being carried at fair value and no longer being
accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
Assets are transferred out of Level 3 when circumstances change such that
significant inputs can be corroborated with market observable data. This may be
due to a significant increase in market activity for the asset, a specific
event, one
23
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
or more significant input(s) becoming observable or a long-term interest rate
significant to a valuation becoming short-term and thus observable. In
addition, transfers out of Level 3 assets also occur when investments are no
longer carried at fair value as the result of a change in the applicable
accounting methodology, given changes in the nature and extent of our ownership
interest.
During 2014 and 2013, transfers out of Level 3 assets primarily related to
certain investments in municipal securities, private placement corporate debt,
CMBS, CDO/ABS and investments in hedge funds.
.. Transfers of certain investments in municipal securities, CMBS and CDO/ABS
out of Level 3 assets were based on consideration of market liquidity as
well as related transparency of pricing and associated observable inputs
for these investments.
.. Transfers of certain investments in private placement corporate debt and
certain ABS out of Level 3 assets were primarily the result of using
observable pricing information that reflects the fair value of those
securities without the need for adjustment based on our own assumptions
regarding the characteristics of a specific security or the current
liquidity in the market.
.. The removal or easing of fund-imposed redemption restrictions, as well as
certain fund investments becoming subject to the equity method of
accounting, resulted in the transfer of certain hedge fund and private
equity investments out of Level 3 assets.
There were no significant transfers of derivative or other liabilities into or
out of Level 3 during 2014 or 2013.
Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
The table below presents information about the significant unobservable inputs
used for recurring fair value measurements for certain Level 3 instruments, and
includes only those instruments for which information about the inputs is
reasonably available to us, such as data from third-party valuation service
providers and from internal valuation models. Because input information from
third-parties with respect to certain Level 3 instruments (primarily CDO/ABS)
may not be reasonably available to us, balances shown below may not equal total

(a)The unobservable inputs and ranges for the constant prepayment rate, loss
severity and constant default rate relate to each of the individual
underlying mortgage loans that comprise the entire portfolio of securities
in the RMBS and CDO securitization vehicles and not necessarily to the
securitization vehicle bonds (tranches) purchased by us. The ranges of these
inputs do not directly correlate to changes in the fair values of the
tranches purchased by us because there are other factors relevant to the
specific tranches owned by us including, but not limited to, purchase price,
position in the waterfall, senior versus subordinated position and
attachment points.
(b)Information received from independent third-party valuation service
providers.
The ranges of reported inputs for Corporate debt, RMBS, CMBS and CDO/ABS valued
using a discounted cash flow technique consist of plus/minus one standard
deviation in either direction from the value-weighted average. The preceding
table does not give effect to our risk management practices that might offset
risks inherent in these investments.
Sensitivity to Changes in Unobservable Inputs
We consider unobservable inputs to be those for which market data is not
available and that are developed using the best information available to us
about the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset
or liability. Relevant inputs vary depending on the nature of the instrument
being measured at fair value. The following is a general description of
sensitivities of significant unobservable inputs along with interrelationships
between and among the significant unobservable inputs and their impact on the
fair value measurements. The effect of a change in a particular assumption in
the sensitivity analysis below is considered independently of changes in any
other assumptions. In practice, simultaneous changes in assumptions may not
always have a linear effect on the inputs. Interrelationships may also exist
between observable and unobservable inputs. Such relationships have not been
included in the discussion below. For each of the individual relationships
described below, the inverse relationship would also generally apply.
Corporate Debt
Corporate debt securities included in Level 3 are primarily private placement
issuances that are not traded in active markets or that are subject to transfer
restrictions. Fair value measurements consider illiquidity and
non-transferability. When observable price quotations are not available, fair
value is determined based on discounted cash flow models using discount rates
based on credit spreads, yields or price levels of publicly-traded debt of the
issuer or other comparable securities, considering illiquidity and structure.
The significant unobservable input used in the fair value
25
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
measurement of corporate debt is the yield. The yield is affected by the market
movements in credit spreads and U.S. Treasury yields. In addition, the
migration in credit quality of a given security generally has a corresponding
effect on the fair value measurement of the securities. For example, a downward
migration of credit quality would increase spreads. Holding U.S. Treasury rates
constant, an increase in corporate credit spreads would decrease the fair value
of corporate debt.
RMBS and Certain CDO/ABS
The significant unobservable inputs used in fair value measurements of RMBS and
certain CDO/ABS valued by third-party valuation service providers are constant
prepayment rates (CPR), loss severity, constant default rates (CDR), and yield.
A change in the assumptions used for the probability of default will generally
be accompanied by a corresponding change in the assumption used for the loss
severity and an inverse change in the assumption used for prepayment rates. In
general, increases in CPR, loss severity, CDR, and yield, in isolation, would
result in a decrease in the fair value measurement. Changes in fair value based
on variations in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the
relationship between the directional change of each input is not usually linear.
CMBS
The significant unobservable input used in fair value measurements for CMBS is
the yield. Prepayment assumptions for each mortgage pool are factored into the
yield. CMBS generally feature a lower degree of prepayment risk than RMBS
because commercial mortgages generally contain a penalty for prepayment. In
general, increases in the yield would decrease the fair value of CMBS.
Policyholder contract deposits
Embedded policy derivatives within policyholder contract deposits relate to
guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits (GMWB) within variable annuity products
and certain enhancements to interest crediting rates based on market indices
within equity index annuities and guaranteed investment contracts (GIC). GMWB
represents our largest exposure of these embedded policy derivatives, although
the carrying value of the liability fluctuates based on the performance of the
equity markets and therefore, at a point in time, can be low relative to the
exposure. The principal unobservable input used for GMWBs and embedded
derivatives in equity-indexed annuities measured at fair value is equity
implied volatility. For GMWBs, other significant unobservable inputs include
base and dynamic lapse rates, mortality rates, and utilization rates. Lapse,
mortality, and utilization rates may vary significantly depending upon age
groups and duration. In general, increases in volatility and utilization rates
will increase the fair value of the liability associated with GMWB, while
increases in lapse rates and mortality rates will decrease the fair value of
the liability. Significant unobservable inputs used in valuing embedded
derivatives within GICs include long-term forward interest rates and foreign
exchange rates. Generally, the embedded derivative liability for GICs will
increase as interest rates decrease or if the U.S. dollar weakens compared to
the euro.

Private equity fund investments included above are not redeemable, as
distributions from the funds will be received when underlying investments of
the funds are liquidated. Private equity funds are generally expected to have
10-year lives at their inception, but these lives may be extended at the fund
manager's discretion, typically in one or two-year increments.
The hedge fund investments included above may be redeemable monthly, quarterly,
semi-annually and annually, as shown below, with redemption notices ranging
from one day to 180 days. Certain hedge fund investments are currently not
redeemable, either in whole or in part, because such investments include
various contractual restrictions. The majority of these contractual
restrictions, which may have been put in place at a fund's inception or
thereafter, have pre-defined end dates and are generally expected to be lifted
by the end of 2015. The fund investments for which redemption is restricted
only in part generally relate to certain hedge funds that hold at least one
investment that the fund manager deems to be illiquid.

Fair Value Option
Under the fair value option, we may elect to measure at fair value financial
assets and financial liabilities that are not otherwise required to be measured
at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value for designated items are
reported in earnings. We elect the fair value option for certain hybrid
securities given the complexity of bifurcating the economic components
associated with the embedded derivatives.
Additionally, beginning in the third quarter of 2012, we elected the fair value
option for investments in certain private equity funds, hedge funds and other
alternative investments when such investments are eligible for this election.
We believe this measurement basis is consistent with the applicable accounting
guidance used by the respective investment company funds themselves.
See Note 4 for additional information.
Certain VIEs, which are securitization vehicles that we consolidate, have
elected the fair value option for a tranche of their structured securities,
referred to herein as the Class X notes, which are included in notes
payable - to affiliates, net.
See Notes 9 and 17 for additional information on these VIEs, which are
securitization vehicles.
The following table presents the difference between fair values and the
aggregate contractual principal amounts of notes payable for which the fair
value option was elected:

In 2011, we assumed GIC liabilities, which are reported in policyholder
contract deposits on the Balance Sheets, from an affiliate, AIG Matched Funding
Corp. (AIGMFC). AIGMFC had elected the fair value option for these GIC
liabilities and we have maintained this election. The change in the value of
each of the GIC liabilities is partially offset by a swap used to economically
hedge the changes in the fair value of the GICs. See Note 17 for additional
information on the GIC assumption and the related swaps.

FAIR VALUE INFORMATION ABOUT FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS NOT MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE
Information regarding the estimation of fair value for financial instruments
not carried at fair value (excluding insurance contracts) is discussed below.
.. Mortgage and other loans receivable: Fair values of loans on real estate
and other loans receivable were estimated for disclosure purposes using
discounted cash flow calculations based on discount rates that we believe
market participants would use in determining the price that they would pay
for such assets. For certain loans, our current incremental lending rates
for similar types of loans are used as the discount rates, because we
believe this rate approximates the rates market participants would use. The
fair values of policy loans are generally estimated based on unpaid
principal amount as of each reporting date or, in some cases, based on the
present value of the loans using a discounted cash flow model. No
consideration is given to credit risk because policy loans are effectively
collateralized by the cash surrender value of the policies.
29
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
.. Other invested assets: The majority of other invested assets that are not
measured at fair value represent investments in hedge funds, private equity
funds and other investment partnerships for which we use the equity method
of accounting. The fair value of our investment in these funds is measured
based on our share of the funds' reported net asset value.
.. Cash and short-term investments: The carrying amounts of these assets
approximate fair values because of the relatively short period of time
between origination and expected realization, and their limited exposure to
credit risk.
.. Policyholder contract deposits associated with investment-type contracts:
Fair values for policyholder contract deposits associated with
investment-type contracts not accounted for at fair value were estimated
using discounted cash flow calculations based on interest rates currently
being offered for similar contracts with maturities consistent with those
of the contracts being valued. When no similar contracts are being offered,
the discount rate is the appropriate swap rate (if available) or current
risk-free interest rate consistent with the currency in which the cash
flows are denominated. To determine fair value, other factors include
current policyholder account values and related surrender charges and other
assumptions include expectations about policyholder behavior and an
appropriate risk margin.
.. Notes Payable: Fair values of these obligations were estimated based on
discounted cash flow calculations using a discount rate that is indicative
of the current market for securities with similar risk characteristics.
The following table presents the carrying values and estimated fair values of
our financial instruments not measured at fair value and indicates the level in
the fair value hierarchy of the estimated fair value measurement based on the
observability of the inputs used:

4. INVESTMENTS
Fixed Maturity and Equity Securities
Bonds held to maturity are carried at amortized cost when we have the ability
and positive intent to hold these securities until maturity. When we do not
have the ability or positive intent to hold bonds until maturity, these
securities are classified as available for sale and are measured at fair value
at our election. None of our fixed maturity securities met the criteria for
held to maturity classification at December 31, 2014 or 2013.
Fixed maturity and equity securities classified as available-for-sale are
carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses from available for sale
investments in fixed maturity and equity securities are reported as a separate
component of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI), net of DAC,
deferred sales inducements and deferred income taxes, in shareholder's equity.
Realized and unrealized gains and losses from fixed maturity and equity
securities that are measured at fair value under the fair value option are
reflected in net investment income. Investments in fixed maturity and equity
securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.
Premiums and discounts arising from the purchase of bonds classified as
available for sale are treated as yield adjustments over their estimated
holding periods, until maturity, or call date, if applicable. For investments
in certain RMBS, CMBS, CDO and ABS, (collectively, structured securities),
recognized yields are updated based on current information regarding the timing
and amount of expected undiscounted future cash flows. For high credit quality
structured securities, effective yields are recalculated based on actual
payments received and updated prepayment expectations, and the amortized cost
is adjusted to the amount that would have existed had the new effective yield
been applied since acquisition with a corresponding charge or credit to net
investment income. For structured securities that are not high credit quality,
effective yields are recalculated and adjusted prospectively based on changes
in expected undiscounted future cash flows. For purchased credit impaired (PCI)
securities, at acquisition, the difference between the undiscounted expected
future cash flows and the recorded investment in the securities represents the
initial accretable yield, which is to be accreted into net investment income
over the securities' remaining lives on a level yield basis. Subsequently,
effective yields recognized on PCI securities are recalculated and adjusted
prospectively to reflect changes in the contractual benchmark interest rates on
variable rate securities and any significant increases in undiscounted expected
future cash flows arising due to reasons other than interest rate changes.
Other Bond Securities and Other Common and Preferred Stock
Securities for which we have elected the fair value option are carried at fair
value and reported in other bond securities or other common and preferred
stocks in the Balance Sheets. Changes in fair value of these assets are
reported in net investment income. Interest income and dividend income on
assets measured under the fair value option are recognized and included in net
investment income.
See Note 3 for additional information on financial assets designated under the
fair value option.

such investments was $26 million and $8 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013,
respectively, the majority of which pertains to investments in private equity
funds and hedge funds that have been in continuous unrealized loss positions
for less than 12 months.
Other Invested Assets - Equity Method Investments
We account for hedge funds, private equity funds, affordable housing
partnerships and other investment partnerships using the equity method of
accounting unless AIG's interest is so minor that AIG may have virtually no
influence over partnership operating and financial policies, or we have elected
the fair value option. Under the equity method of accounting, the carrying
value generally is our share of the net asset value of the funds or the
partnerships, and changes in our share of the net asset values are recorded in
net investment income. In applying the equity method of accounting, we
consistently use the most recently available financial information provided by
the general partner or manager of each of these investments, which is one to
three months prior to the end of our reporting period. The financial statements
of these investees are generally audited annually.
Other Investments
Real estate is classified as held for investment or held for sale, based on
management's intent. Real estate held for investment is carried at cost, less
accumulated depreciation and impairment write-downs. Properties acquired
through foreclosure and held for sale are carried at the lower of carrying
amount or fair value less estimated costs to sell the property.
We are members of the FHLB of Dallas and such membership requires members to
own stock in the FHLB. Our FHLB stock is carried at amortized cost, which
approximates fair value, and is included in other invested assets.
Other invested assets also include mutual funds, which consist of seed money
for mutual funds and investments in retail mutual funds used as investment
vehicles for our variable annuity separate accounts, and are carried at market
value.
Aircraft
Aircraft owned by the Aircraft Trusts were recorded at cost (adjusted for
impairment charges), net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation was
generally computed on a straight-line to a residual value of approximately 15
percent of the cost of the asset over its estimated useful life of 25 years.
Certain major additions and modifications to aircraft may have been
capitalized. The residual value estimates were reviewed periodically to ensure
continued appropriateness. Aircraft were periodically reviewed for impairment
and impairment losses recorded when the estimate of undiscounted future cash
flows expected to be generated by the aircraft was less than its carrying
value. See Notes 9 for additional information.
Short-Term Investments
Short-term investments include interest-bearing money market funds, investment
pools, and other investments with original maturities within one year from the
date of purchase.
Net Investment Income
Net investment income represents income primarily from the following sources:
.. Interest income and related expenses, including amortization of premiums
and accretion of discounts on bonds with changes in the timing and the
amount of expected principal and interest cash flows reflected in the
yield, as applicable.

.. Dividend income from common and preferred stock and distributions from
other investments, including distributions from private equity funds and

.. Realized and unrealized gains and losses from investments in other
securities and investments for which we elected the fair value option.
.. Earnings from private equity funds and hedge fund investments accounted for

primarily from the following sources:
.. Sales of available for sale fixed maturity and equity securities, real
estate, investments in private equity funds and hedge funds and other types
of investments.
.. Reductions to the cost basis of available for sale fixed maturity and
equity securities and certain other invested assets for
other-than-temporary impairments.

Evaluating Investments for Other-Than-Temporary Impairments
Fixed Maturity Securities
If we intend to sell a fixed maturity security or it is more likely than not
that we will be required to sell a fixed maturity security before recovery of
its amortized cost basis and the fair value of the security is below amortized
cost, an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred and the amortized cost is
written down to current fair value, with a corresponding charge to realized
capital losses. When assessing our intent to sell a fixed maturity security, or
whether it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell a fixed
maturity security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, management
evaluates relevant facts and circumstances including, but not limited to,
decisions to reposition our investment portfolio, sales of securities to meet
cash flow needs and sales of securities to take advantage of favorable pricing.
For fixed maturity securities for which a credit impairment has occurred, the
amortized cost is written down to the estimated recovery value with a
corresponding charge to realized capital losses. The estimated recovery value
is the present value of cash flows expected to be collected, as determined by
management. The difference between fair value and amortized cost that is not
related to a credit impairment is recognized in unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) of fixed maturity securities on which other-than-temporary
credit impairments were taken (a component of accumulated other comprehensive
income).
When estimating future cash flows for structured fixed maturity securities
(e.g., RMBS, CMBS, CDO, ABS), management considers historical performance of
underlying assets and available market information as well as bond-specific
structural considerations, such as credit enhancement and priority of payment
structure of the security. In addition, the process of estimating future cash
flows includes, but is not limited to, the following critical inputs, which
vary by asset class:
.. Current delinquency rates;
.. Expected default rates and the timing of such defaults;
.. Loss severity and the timing of any recovery; and
.. Expected prepayment speeds.
For corporate, municipal and sovereign fixed maturity securities determined to
be credit impaired, management considers the fair value as the recovery value
when available information does not indicate that another value is more
relevant or reliable. When management identifies information that supports a
recovery value other than the fair value, the determination of a recovery value
considers scenarios specific to the issuer and the security, and may be based
upon estimates of outcomes of corporate restructurings, political and
macroeconomic factors, stability and financial strength of the issuer, the
value of any secondary sources of repayment and the disposition of assets.
Management considers severe price declines in its assessment of potential
credit impairments. We may also modify model inputs when management determines
that price movements in certain sectors are indicative of factors not captured
by the cash flow models.
In periods subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment
charge for available for sale fixed maturity securities that is not foreign
exchange related, we prospectively accrete into earnings the difference between
the new amortized cost and the expected undiscounted recovery value over the
remaining expected holding period of the security.

* Represents both accretion recognized due to changes in cash flows expected to
be collected over the remaining expected term of the credit impaired
securities and the accretion due to the passage of time.
Equity Securities
We evaluate our available for sale equity securities, equity method and cost
method investments for impairment by considering such securities as candidates
for other-than-temporary impairment if they meet any of the following criteria:
.. The security has traded at a significant (25 percent or more) discount to
cost for an extended period of time (nine consecutive months or longer);
.. A discrete credit event has occurred resulting in (i) the issuer defaulting
on a material outstanding obligation; (ii) the issuer seeking protection
from creditors under the bankruptcy laws or any similar laws intended for
court-supervised reorganization of insolvent enterprises; or (iii) the
issuer proposing a voluntary reorganization pursuant to which creditors are
asked to exchange their claims for cash or securities having a fair value
substantially lower than par value of their claims; or
.. We have concluded that it may not realize a full recovery on its
investment, regardless of the occurrence of one of the foregoing events.
The determination that an equity security is other-than-temporarily impaired
requires the judgment of management and consideration of the fundamental
condition of the issuer, its near-term prospects and all the relevant facts and
circumstances. In addition to the above criteria, management also considers
circumstances of a rapid and severe market valuation decline (50 percent or
more discounts to cost), in which we could not reasonably assert that the
impairment period would be temporary (severity losses).
Other Invested Assets
Investments in private equity funds and hedge funds are evaluated for
impairment in a manner similar to the evaluation of equity securities for
impairments as discussed above. This evaluation considers market conditions,
events and volatility that may impact the recoverability of the underlying
investments within these private equity funds and hedge funds and is based on
the nature of the underlying investments and specific inherent risks. Such
risks may evolve based on the nature of the underlying investments.
Investments in real estate are periodically evaluated for recoverability
whenever changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may
be impaired. When impairment indicators are present, we compare expected
investment cash flows to carrying value. When the expected cash flows are less
than the carrying value, the investments are written down to fair value with a
corresponding charge to earnings.
Purchased Credit Impaired Securities
We purchase certain RMBS securities that have experienced deterioration in
credit quality since their issuance. We determined, based on our expectations
as to the timing and amount of cash flows expected to be received, that it was
38
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
probable at the date of acquisition that we would not collect all contractually
required payments for these PCI securities, including both principal and
interest after considering the effects of prepayments. At acquisition, the
timing and amount of the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be received
on each PCI security was determined based on our best estimate using key
assumptions, such as interest rates, default rates and prepayment speeds. At
acquisition, the difference between the undiscounted expected future cash flows
of the PCI securities and the recorded investment in the securities represents
the initial accretable yield, which is to be accreted into net investment
income over their remaining lives on a level-yield basis. Additionally, the
difference between the contractually required payments on the PCI securities
and the undiscounted expected future cash flows represents the non-accretable
difference at acquisition. The accretable yield and the non-accretable
difference will change over time, based on actual payments received and changes
in estimates of undiscounted expected future cash flows, which are discussed
further below.
On a quarterly basis, the undiscounted expected future cash flows associated
with PCI securities are re-evaluated based on updates to key assumptions.
Declines in undiscounted expected future cash flows due to further credit
deterioration as well as changes in the expected timing of the cash flows can
result in the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment charge, as PCI
securities are subject to our policy for evaluating investments for
other-than-temporary impairment. Changes to undiscounted expected future cash
flows due solely to the changes in the contractual benchmark interest rates on
variable rate PCI securities will change the accretable yield prospectively.
Significant increases in undiscounted expected future cash flows for reasons
other than interest rate changes are recognized prospectively as an adjustment
to the accretable yield.

included in bonds available for sale:

Secured Financing
We enter into secured financing transactions whereby certain securities are
sold under agreements to repurchase (repurchase agreements), in which we
transfer securities in exchange for cash, with an agreement by us to repurchase
the same or substantially similar securities. In the majority of these
repurchase agreements, the securities transferred by us may be sold or
repledged by the counterparties. Repurchase agreements are recorded at their
contracted repurchase amounts plus accrued interest.
39
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
At December 31, 2013, our secured financing transactions also included those
that involve the transfer of securities to financial institutions in exchange
for cash or other liquid collateral. Securities transferred by us under these
financing transactions may be sold or repledged by the counterparties. As
collateral for the securities transferred by us, counterparties transfer assets
to us, such as cash or high quality fixed maturity securities. Collateral
levels are monitored daily and are generally maintained at an agreed-upon
percentage of the fair value of the transferred securities during the life of
the transactions. When we receive fixed maturity securities as collateral, we
do not have the right to sell or repledge this collateral unless an event of
default occurs by the counterparties. At the termination of the transactions,
we and our counterparties are obligated to return the collateral provided and
the securities transferred, respectively.

Total carrying values of cash and securities deposited by us under requirements
of regulatory authorities were $72 million and $70 million at December 31, 2014
and 2013, respectively.
Other Pledges
We are members of FHLBs and such membership requires the members to own stock
in these FHLBs. We owned an aggregate of $14 million and $22 million of stock
in FHLBs at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. To the extent we borrow
from an FHLB, our ownership interest in the stock of the FHLB will be pledged
to the FHLB. In addition, we have pledged securities with a fair value of $330
million and $67 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, associated
with advances from the FHLBs. The increase in pledged securities in 2014
primarily reflects securities pledged to the FHLB prior to obtaining advances,
pursuant to our plan to facilitate the ability to obtain cash advances on a
same-day basis up to an internally approved limit, to more effectively manage
short-term liquidity. As a result, we had $312 million of available FHLB
borrowing capacity at December 31, 2014.
5. LENDING ACTIVITIES
Mortgage and other loans receivable include commercial and residential
mortgages, life insurance policy loans, commercial loans, and other loans and
notes receivable. Commercial mortgages, commercial loans, and other loans and
notes receivable are carried at unpaid principal balances less credit
allowances and plus or minus adjustments for the accretion or amortization of
discount or premium. Interest income on such loans is accrued as earned.
Direct costs of originating commercial mortgages, commercial loans, and other
loans and notes receivable, net of nonrefundable points and fees, are deferred
and included in the carrying amount of the related receivables. The amount
deferred is amortized to net investment income over the life of the related
loan as an adjustment of the loan's yield using the interest method.
Life insurance policy loans are carried at unpaid principal amount. There is no
allowance for policy loans because these loans serve to reduce the death
benefit paid when the death claim is made and the balances are effectively
collateralized by the cash surrender value of the policy.

Methodology Used to Estimate the Allowance for Losses
Mortgage and other loans receivable are considered impaired when collection of
all amounts due under contractual terms is not probable. Impairment is measured
using either i) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at
the loan's effective interest rate, ii) the loan's observable market price, if
available, or iii) the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral
dependent. Impairment of commercial mortgages is typically determined using the
fair value of collateral while impairment of other loans is typically
determined using the present value of cash flows or the loan's observable
market price. An allowance is typically established for the difference between
the impaired value of the loan and its current carrying amount. Additional
allowance amounts are established for incurred but not specifically identified
impairments, based on the analysis of internal risk ratings and current loan
values. Internal risk ratings are assigned based on the consideration of risk
factors including past due status, debt service coverage, loan-to-value ratio
or the ratio of the loan balance to the estimated value of the property,
property occupancy, profile of the borrower and of the major property tenants,
economic trends in the market where the property is located, and condition of
the property. These factors and the resulting risk ratings also provide a basis
for determining the level of monitoring performed at both the individual loan
and the portfolio level. When all or a portion of a commercial mortgage loan is
deemed uncollectible, the uncollectible portion of the carrying value of the
loan is charged off against the allowance. Interest income on impaired loans is
recognized as cash is received. For impaired loans where it has been determined
41
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
that not all of the contractual principal due will be collected, any cash
received is recorded as a reduction of the current carrying amount of the loan.
A significant majority of commercial mortgage loans in the portfolio are
non-recourse loans and, accordingly, the only guarantees are for specific items
that are exceptions to the non-recourse provisions. It is therefore extremely
rare for us to have cause to enforce the provisions of a guarantee on a
commercial real estate or mortgage loan.

Troubled Debt Restructurings
We modify loans to optimize their returns and improve their collectability,
among other things. When such a modification is undertaken with a borrower that
is experiencing financial difficulty and the modification involves us granting
a concession to the troubled debtor, the modification is deemed to be a
troubled debt restructuring (TDR). We assess whether a borrower is experiencing
financial difficulty based on a variety of factors, including the borrower's
current default on any of its outstanding debt, the probability of a default on
any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification, the
insufficiency of the borrower's forecasted cash flows to service any of its
outstanding debt (including both principal and interest), and the borrower's
inability to access alternative third-party financing at an interest rate that
would be reflective of current market conditions for a non-troubled debtor.
Concessions granted may include extended maturity dates, interest rate changes,
principal forgiveness, payment deferrals and easing of loan covenants.
We held $139 million and $67 million of commercial mortgage loans that had been
modified in a TDR at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We have no other
loans that had been modified in a TDR. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, these
commercial mortgage loans had related total allowances for credit losses of $13
million and $11 million, respectively. The commercial mortgage loans modified
in a TDR are included among the restructured loans in the credit quality
indicators table above, if they are performing according to the restructured
terms.
6. REINSURANCE
In the ordinary course of business, we utilize internal and third-party
reinsurance relationships to manage insurance risks and to facilitate capital
management strategies. Long-duration reinsurance is effected principally under
yearly renewable term treaties. Pools of highly-rated third party reinsurers
are utilized to manage net amounts at risk in excess of retention limits. In
addition, we assume reinsurance from other insurance companies. We generally
limit our exposure to loss on any single life to $10 million by ceding
additional risks through reinsurance contracts with other insurers. On an
exception basis, we can increase our exposure to loss on any single life up to
$15 million.

The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) Model Regulation
"Valuation of Life Insurance Policies" (Regulation XXX) requires U.S. life
insurers to establish additional statutory reserves for term life insurance
policies with long-term premium guarantees and universal life policies with
secondary guarantees (ULSGs). In addition, NAIC Actuarial Guideline 38
(Guideline AXXX) clarifies the application of Regulation XXX as to these
guarantees, including certain ULSGs. We manage the capital impact of statutory
reserve requirements under Regulation XXX and Guideline AXXX through
intercompany reinsurance transactions. Regulation XXX and Guideline AXXX
reserves related to new and in-force business (term and universal life) are
ceded to our Parent, AGC Life, under a coinsurance/modified coinsurance
agreement effective January 1, 2011. This agreement does not meet the criteria
for reinsurance accounting under GAAP; therefore, deposit accounting is applied.
The agreement between us and AGC Life also provides for an experience refund of
all profits, less a reinsurance risk charge. The main impact of the agreement
on our results of operations during 2014, 2013 and 2012 was a pre-tax expense
of approximately $81 million, $73 million and $66 million, respectively, which
represented the risk charge associated with the reinsurance agreement.
On October 1, 2003, we entered into a coinsurance/modified coinsurance
agreement with AIG Life of Bermuda, Ltd. (AIGB). Under the agreement, AIGB
reinsured 100 percent quota share of our liability on virtually all of our
general account deferred annuity contracts with issue dates on or after
January 1, 2003. The agreement was amended on September 25, 2007 to terminate
the agreement for new business as of July 1, 2007. Under the agreement, we
retain the assets supporting the reserves ceded to AIGB. The agreement also
provides for an experience refund of all profits, less a reinsurance risk
charge. This agreement does not meet the criteria for reinsurance accounting
under GAAP, therefore, deposit accounting is applied. The main impact of the
agreement on our results of operations during 2014, 2013 and 2012 was pre-tax
expense of approximately $2 million in each year, which represented the risk
charge associated with the reinsurance agreement.
In 2003, we entered into two coinsurance/modified coinsurance agreements with
AIGB. These agreements have an effective date of January 1, 2003. Under the
agreements, AIGB reinsured a 100 percent quota share of our liability on
selective level term products and universal life products issued by us. These
agreements do not meet the criteria for reinsurance accounting under GAAP;
therefore, deposit accounting is applied. These agreements were amended to
terminate for new business issued on and after August 1, 2009. Effective
July 1, 2013, we fully recaptured these agreements and simultaneously reinsured
this in-force block to AGC Life, under the January 1, 2011 coinsurance/modified
coinsurance agreement mentioned above. Management received approvals of the
recapture and reinsurance transactions on our behalf and AGC Life from the
Texas and Missouri Departments of Insurance, in July 2013, with July 1, 2013
effective dates. On the effective date of the recapture with AIGB and day one
of the treaty with AGC Life, we recorded a net zero impact to pre-tax earnings.
The agreements also provide for an experience refund of all profits, less a
reinsurance risk charge. The main impact of the agreements on our results of
operations during 2013 and 2012 was pre-tax expense of approximately $3 million
and $4 million, respectively, representing the risk charge associated with the
coinsurance agreement.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Our third-party reinsurance arrangements do not relieve us from our direct
obligations to our beneficiaries. Thus, a credit exposure exists with respect
to reinsurance ceded, to the extent that any reinsurer fails to meet the
obligations assumed under any reinsurance agreement. We believe that no
exposure to a single reinsurer represents an inappropriate concentration of
credit risk to the Company. Gross reinsurance assets with our three largest
reinsurers aggregated to approximately $1.0 billion at both December 31, 2014
and 2013, of which approximately $198 million was secured by collateral at both
December 31, 2014 and 2013.
7. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGE ACCOUNTING
We use derivatives and other financial instruments as part of our financial
risk management programs and our investment operations. Interest rate and
cross-currency swaps, swaptions, options and forward transactions are accounted
for as derivatives, recorded on a trade-date basis and carried at fair value.
See Note 3 for discussion of fair value measurements. Unrealized gains and
losses are reflected in income, when appropriate. Aggregate asset or liability
positions are netted on the Balance Sheets only to the extent permitted by
qualifying master netting arrangements in place with each respective
counterparty. Cash collateral posted with counterparties in conjunction with
transactions supported by qualifying master netting arrangements is reported as
a reduction of the corresponding net derivative liability, while cash
collateral received in conjunction with transactions supported by qualifying
master netting arrangements is reported as a reduction of the corresponding net
derivative asset. We are exposed to potential credit-related losses in the
event of nonperformance by counterparties to derivative instruments. The credit
exposure related to our derivative financial instruments is limited to the fair
value of contracts that are favorable to us at the reporting date less
collateral received from that counterparty.
Derivatives, with the exception of bifurcated embedded derivatives, are
reflected in the Balance Sheets in derivative assets, at fair value and
derivative liabilities, at fair value. A bifurcated embedded derivative is
measured at fair value and accounted for in the same manner as a free standing
derivative contract. The corresponding host contract is accounted for according
to the accounting guidance applicable to that instrument. A bifurcated embedded
derivative is generally presented with the host contract. See Notes 3 and 11
for additional information on embedded policy derivatives.
Our interest rate contracts ,which include interest rate swaps, swaptions,
futures and options, are used to economically hedge interest rate exposures
associated with embedded derivatives contained in insurance contract
liabilities and fixed maturity securities, as well as other interest rate
sensitive assets and liabilities.
Foreign exchange derivatives (principally forwards and swaps) are used to
economically mitigate risk associated with foreign currency-denominated
transactions, primarily investments and GICs denominated in foreign currencies.
Effective April 1, 2014, we reclassified cross-currency swaps from interest
rate contracts to foreign exchange contracts. This change was applied
prospectively.
Equity derivatives are used to mitigate financial risk embedded in certain
insurance liabilities. We purchase equity contracts, such as futures and call
and put options, to economically hedge certain guarantees of specific equity
index universal life and annuities and variable annuity products. Our
exchange-traded index futures contracts have no recorded fair value as they are
cash settled daily.
We believe our economic hedging instruments have been and remain economically
effective, but for the most part they have not been designated as hedges
receiving hedge accounting treatment. Changes in the fair value of derivatives
not designated as hedges are reported within net realized capital gains and
losses. Certain swaps associated with GIC liabilities and available for sale
investments have been designated as fair value hedges. Changes in fair value
hedges of GIC liabilities and available for sale securities are reported in net
policyholder benefits, along with changes in the hedged item.

8. DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS AND DEFERRED SALES INDUCEMENTS
Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs
DAC represents those costs that are incremental and directly related to the
successful acquisition of new or renewal of existing insurance contracts. We
defer incremental costs that result directly from, and are essential to, the
acquisition or renewal of an insurance contract. Such deferred policy
acquisition costs generally include agent or broker commissions and bonuses,
premium taxes, and medical and inspection fees that would not have been
incurred if the insurance
45
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
contract had not been acquired or renewed. Each cost is analyzed to assess
whether it is fully deferrable. We partially defer costs, including certain
commissions, when we do not believe that the entire cost is directly related to
the acquisition or renewal of insurance contracts.
We also defer a portion of employee total compensation and payroll-related
fringe benefits directly related to time spent performing specific acquisition
or renewal activities including costs associated with the time spent on
underwriting, policy issuance and processing, and sales force contract selling.
The amounts deferred are derived based on successful efforts for each
distribution channel and/or cost center from which the cost originates.
Short-duration insurance contracts: Policy acquisition costs are deferred and
amortized over the period in which the related premiums written are earned,
generally 12 months. DAC is grouped consistent with the manner in which the
insurance contracts are acquired, serviced and measured for profitability and
is reviewed for recoverability based on the profitability of the underlying
insurance contracts. Investment income is anticipated in assessing the
recoverability of DAC. We assess the recoverability of DAC on an annual basis
or more frequently if circumstances indicate an impairment may have occurred.
This assessment is performed by comparing recorded net unearned premiums and
anticipated investment income on in-force business to the sum of expected
claims, claims adjustment expenses, unamortized DAC and maintenance costs. If
the sum of these costs exceeds the amount of recorded net unearned premiums and
anticipated investment income, the excess is recognized as an offset against
the asset established for DAC. This offset is referred to as a premium
deficiency charge. Increases in expected claims and claims adjustment expenses
can have a significant impact on the likelihood and amount of a premium
deficiency charge.
Long-duration insurance contracts: Policy acquisition costs for participating
life, traditional life and accident and health insurance products are generally
deferred and amortized, with interest, over the premium paying period. The
assumptions used to calculate the benefit liabilities and DAC for these
traditional products are set when a policy is issued and do not change with
changes in actual experience, unless a loss recognition event occurs. These
"locked-in" assumptions include mortality, morbidity, persistency, maintenance
expenses and investment returns, and include margins for adverse deviation to
reflect uncertainty given that actual experience might deviate from these
assumptions. A loss recognition event occurs when there is a shortfall between
the carrying amounts of future policy benefit liabilities, net of DAC, and the
amount the future policy benefit liabilities, net of DAC, would be when
applying updated current assumptions. When we determine that a loss recognition
event has occurred, we first reduce any DAC related to that block of business
through amortization of acquisition expense, and after DAC is depleted, we
record additional liabilities through a charge to policyholder benefits and
claims incurred. Groupings for loss recognition testing are consistent with the
manner of acquiring and servicing the business and applied by product
groupings. We perform separate loss recognition tests for traditional life
products, payout annuities and long-term care products. Once loss recognition
has been recorded for a block of business, the old assumption set is replaced
and the assumption set used for the loss recognition would then be subject to
the lock-in principle.
Investment-oriented contracts: Policy acquisition costs and policy issuance
costs related to universal life and investment-type products (collectively,
investment-oriented products) are deferred and amortized, with interest, in
relation to the incidence of estimated gross profits (EGPs) to be realized over
the estimated lives of the contracts. EGPs include net investment income and
spreads, net realized investment gains and losses, fees, surrender charges,
expenses, and mortality and morbidity gains and losses. In each reporting
period, current period amortization expense is adjusted to reflect actual gross
profits. If EGPs change significantly, DAC is recalculated using the new
assumptions, and any resulting adjustment is included in income (unlocking). If
the new assumptions indicate that future EGPs are higher than previously
estimated, DAC will be increased resulting in a decrease in amortization
expense and increase in income in the current period; if future EGPs are lower
than previously estimated, DAC will be decreased resulting in an increase in
amortization expense and decrease in income in the current period. Unlocking of
assumptions may result in acceleration of amortization in some products and
deceleration of amortization in other products. DAC is grouped consistent with
the manner in which the insurance contracts are acquired, serviced and measured
for profitability and is reviewed for recoverability based on the current and
projected future profitability of the underlying insurance contracts.
To estimate future EGPs for variable annuity products, a long-term annual asset
growth assumption is applied to determine the future growth in assets and
related asset-based fees. In determining the asset growth rate, the effect of
short-term fluctuations in the equity markets is partially mitigated through
the use of a "reversion to the mean" methodology whereby short-term asset
growth above or below long-term annual rate assumptions impact the growth
assumption applied to the five-year period subsequent to the current balance
sheet date. The reversion to the mean
46
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
methodology allows us to maintain our long-term growth assumptions, while also
giving consideration to the effect of actual investment performance. When
actual performance significantly deviates from the annual long-term growth
assumption, as evidenced by growth assumptions in the five-year reversion to
the mean period falling below a certain rate (floor) or above a certain rate
(cap) for a sustained period, judgment may be applied to revise or "unlock" the
growth rate assumptions to be used for both the five-year reversion to the mean
period as well as the long-term annual growth assumption applied to subsequent
periods.
Shadow DAC and Shadow Loss Recognition: DAC held for investment-oriented
products is also adjusted to reflect the effect of unrealized gains or losses
on fixed maturity and equity securities available for sale on EGPs, with
related changes recognized through other comprehensive income (shadow DAC). The
adjustment is made at each balance sheet date, as if the securities had been
sold at their stated aggregate fair value and the proceeds reinvested at
current yields. Similarly, for long-duration traditional insurance contracts,
if the assets supporting the liabilities maintain a temporary net unrealized
gain position at the balance sheet date, loss recognition testing assumptions
are updated to exclude such gains from future cash flows by reflecting the
impact of reinvestment rates on future yields. If a future loss is anticipated
under this basis, any additional shortfall indicated by loss recognition tests
is recognized as a reduction in accumulated other comprehensive income (shadow
loss recognition). Similar to other loss recognition on long-duration insurance
contracts, such shortfall is first reflected as a reduction in DAC and secondly
as an increase in liabilities for future policy benefits. The change in these
adjustments, net of tax, is included with the change in net unrealized
appreciation of investments that is credited or charged directly to other
comprehensive income.
Internal Replacements of Long-duration and Investment-Oriented Products: For
some products, policyholders can elect to modify product benefits, features,
rights or coverages by exchanging a contract for a new contract or by
amendment, endorsement, or rider to a contract, or by the election of a feature
or coverage within a contract. These transactions are known as internal
replacements. If the modification does not substantially change the contract,
we do not change the accounting and amortization of existing DAC and related
reserves. If an internal replacement represents a substantial change, the
original contract is considered to be extinguished and any related DAC or other
policy balances are charged or credited to income, and any new deferrable costs
associated with the replacement contract are deferred.
The following table presents a rollforward of DAC:

* The increase in the DAC asset, which principally reflected the impact of the
change on periods prior to 2014, was substantially offset by a related
increase in the unearned revenue reserves.
Value of Business Acquired (VOBA): VOBA is determined at the time of
acquisition and is reported in the Balance Sheets with DAC. This value is based
on the present value of future pre-tax profits discounted at yields applicable
at the time of purchase. For participating life, traditional life and accident
and health insurance products, VOBA is amortized over the life of the business
in a manner similar to that for DAC based on the assumptions at purchase. For
investment-oriented products, VOBA is amortized in relation to EGPs and
adjusted for the effect of unrealized gains or losses on fixed maturity and
equity securities available for sale in a manner similar to DAC.

The asset management operations defer distribution costs that are directly
related to the sale of mutual funds that have a 12b-1 distribution plan and/or
contingent deferred sales charge feature (collectively, Distribution Fee
Revenue). We amortize these deferred distribution costs on a straight-line
basis, adjusted for redemptions, over a period ranging from one year to eight
years depending on share class. Amortization of these deferred distribution
costs is increased if at any reporting period the value of the deferred amount
exceeds the projected Distribution Fee Revenue. The projected Distribution Fee
Revenue is impacted by estimated future withdrawal rates and the rates of
market return. Management uses historical activity to estimate future
withdrawal rates and average annual performance of the equity markets to
estimate the rates of market return.
9. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
A variable interest entity (VIE) is a legal entity that does not have
sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional
subordinated financial support or is structured such that equity investors lack
the ability to make significant decisions relating to the entity's operations
through voting rights or do not substantively participate in the gains and
losses of the entity. Consolidation of a VIE by its primary beneficiary is not
based on majority voting interest, but is based on other criteria discussed
below.
We enter into various arrangements with VIEs in the normal course of business
and consolidate the VIEs when we determine we are the primary beneficiary. This
analysis includes a review of the VIE's capital structure, related contractual
relationships and terms, nature of the VIE's operations and purpose, nature of
the VIE's interests issued and our involvement with the entity. When assessing
the need to consolidate a VIE, we evaluate the design of the VIE as well as the
related risks the variable interest holders are exposed to through the design
of the entity.
For VIEs with attributes consistent with that of an investment company or a
money market fund, the primary beneficiary is the party or group of related
parties that absorbs a majority of the expected losses of the VIE, receives the
majority of the expected residual returns of the VIE, or both.
For all other VIEs, the primary beneficiary is the entity that has both (i) the
power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the
VIE's economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the
right to receive benefits that could be potentially significant to the VIE.
While also considering these factors, the consolidation
48
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
conclusion depends on the breadth of our decision-making ability and our
ability to influence activities that significantly affect the economic
performance of the VIE.

Securitization Vehicles
Aircraft Trusts
In 2003, AIG Parent created two VIEs, Castle 2003-1 Trust and Castle 2003-2
Trust (collectively, the Aircraft Trusts), for the purpose of acquiring,
owning, leasing, maintaining, operating and selling aircraft. AGL and other AIG
subsidiaries held beneficial interests in these entities, including passive
investments in non-voting preferred equity and in debt issued by these
entities. Debt of these entities is not an obligation of, or guaranteed by, AGL
or by AIG Parent or any of AIG's subsidiaries. Effective June 30, 2014, AGL
transferred its non-voting preferred equity interests in the Aircraft Trusts to
AIG Parent though the distribution of a non-cash dividend and return of
capital, which totaled $500 million. Prior to this distribution, AGL bore the
obligation to absorb economic losses or receive economic benefits that could
possibly be significant to the Aircraft Trusts and, as a result, we were deemed
the primary beneficiary and fully consolidated the Aircraft Trusts. Subsequent
to the distribution, AGL is no longer deemed the primary beneficiary of the
Aircraft Trusts and, as a result, the accompanying financial statements exclude
the financial position, operating results and cash flows of the Aircraft Trusts
subsequent to the date of the distribution.
Ambrose
During 2013 and 2014, we entered into securitization transactions that involved
the transfer of portfolios of our high grade corporate securities, along with a
portfolio of structured securities acquired from AIG, to newly formed special
purpose entities, Ambrose 2013-2 (Ambrose 2), Ambrose 2013-3 (Ambrose 3)
Ambrose 2013-5 (Ambrose 5) and Ambrose 2014-6 (Ambrose 6) (collectively
referred to as the Ambrose entities), which are VIEs. In each transaction, the
Ambrose entities issued beneficial interests to us in consideration for the
transferred securities. We own the majority of the beneficial interests issued
by the Ambrose entities and we maintain the power to direct the activities of
the VIEs that most significantly impact their economic performance and bear the
obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the VIEs that could
potentially be significant to the VIEs, accordingly, we consolidate the Ambrose
entities.
See Note 17 for additional information on these securitization transactions.
Selkirk
During 2013 and 2014, we entered into securitization transactions in which
portfolios of our commercial mortgage loans were transferred to special purpose
entities, with us retaining a significant beneficial interest in the
securitized loans. As consideration for the transferred loans, we received
beneficial interests in certain special purpose entities and cash proceeds from
the securitized notes issued to third party investors by other special purpose
entities. We determined that we control or we are the primary beneficiary of
all of the special purpose entities in the securitization structures, and
therefore we consolidate all of these entities, including those that are VIEs.

Future policy benefits primarily include reserves for traditional life and
annuity payout contracts, which represent an estimate of the present value of
future benefits less the present value of future net premiums. Included in
future policy benefits are liabilities for annuities issued in structured
settlement arrangements whereby a claimant has agreed to settle a general
insurance claim in exchange for fixed payments over a fixed determinable period
of time with a life contingency feature.
Future policy benefits also include certain guaranteed benefits of variable
annuity products that are not considered embedded derivatives, primarily
guaranteed minimum death benefits. See Note 11 for additional information on
guaranteed minimum death benefits.
The liability for long-duration future policy benefits has been established
including assumptions for interest rates which vary by year of issuance and
product, and range from approximately zero percent to 12.0 percent. Mortality
and surrender rate assumptions are generally based on actual experience when
the liability is established.
For universal life policies with secondary guarantees, we recognize a future
policy benefit reserve, in addition to policyholder contract deposits, based on
a benefit ratio of (a) the present value of total expected payments, in excess
of the account value, over the life of the contract, divided by (b) the present
value of total expected assessments over the life of the contract. For
universal life policies without secondary guarantees, for which profits
followed by losses are first expected after contract inception, we establish
future policy benefit reserves, in addition to policyholder contract deposits,
so that expected future losses are recognized in proportion to the emergence of
profits in the earlier (profitable) years.
For long duration traditional business, a "lock-in" principle applies. The
assumptions used to calculate the benefit liabilities and DAC are set when a
policy is issued and do not change with changes in actual experience, unless a
loss recognition event occurs. The assumptions include mortality, morbidity,
persistency, maintenance expenses, and investment returns. These assumptions
are typically consistent with pricing inputs. These assumptions include margins
for adverse deviation in the event that actual experience might deviate from
these assumptions.
A loss recognition event occurs if observed changes in actual experience or
estimates result in projected future losses under loss recognition testing. To
determine whether a loss recognition event has occurred, we determine whether a
future loss is expected based on updated current assumptions. If a loss
recognition event occurs, we recognize the loss by first reducing DAC through
amortization expense, and, if DAC is depleted, record additional liabilities
through a charge to policyholder benefit expense. See Note 8 for additional
information on loss recognition.
Sales of investment securities in connection with a program to utilize capital
loss carryforwards, as well as other investment sales with subsequent
reinvestment at lower yields, triggered loss recognition expense primarily on
certain long-term payout annuity contracts of $21 million, $886 million and
$807 million, in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We also recorded loss
recognition expense of $87 million in 2014 and $61 million in 2012 to increase
reserves for certain long-term care business.

Policyholder Contract Deposits
The liability for policyholder contract deposits is recorded at accumulated
value (deposits received and net transfers from separate accounts, plus accrued
interest credited at rates ranging from 0.3 percent to 8.4 percent, less
withdrawals and assessed fees). Deposits collected on investment-oriented
products are not reflected as revenues, as they are recorded directly to
policyholder contract deposits upon receipt. Amounts assessed against the
contract holders for mortality, administrative, and other services are included
in revenues.
In addition to liabilities for universal life, fixed annuities, fixed options
with variable annuities, annuities without life contingencies, funding
agreements and guaranteed investment contracts, policyholder contract deposits
also include our liability for (i) certain guaranteed benefits and
equity-indexed features accounted for as embedded derivatives at fair value,
(ii) annuities issued in a structured settlement arrangement with no life
contingency and (iii) certain contracts we have elected to account for at fair
value. In addition, certain GIC contracts contain embedded derivatives that are
bifurcated and carried at fair value in policyholder contract deposits with the
change in fair value recorded in policyholder benefits. See Note 3 for
discussion of the fair value measurement of embedded policy derivatives and
Note 11 for additional discussions of guaranteed benefits accounted for as
embedded derivatives.
Under a funding agreement-backed note issuance program, an unaffiliated,
non-consolidated statutory trust issues medium-term notes to investors, which
are secured by GICs issued to the trust by the Company. In 2014, a $450 million
GIC was issued in conjunction with the funding agreement-backed notes program.
Policy Claims and Benefits Payable
Policy claims and benefits payable include amounts representing: (i) the actual
in-force amounts for reported life claims and an estimate of incurred but not
reported (IBNR) claims; and (ii) an estimate, based upon prior experience, for
accident and health reported and IBNR losses. The methods of making such
estimates and establishing the resulting reserves are continually reviewed and
updated and any adjustments are reflected in current period income.
We are now taking enhanced measures to, among other things, routinely match
policyholder records with the Social Security Administration Death Master File
(SSDMF) to determine if insured parties, annuitants, or retained account
holders have died and to locate beneficiaries when a claim is payable. If the
beneficiary/account owner does not make contact with us within 120 days, we
will conduct a "Thorough Search" to locate the beneficiary/account owner. A
"Thorough Search" includes at least three attempts in writing to contact the
beneficiary and if unsuccessful, at least one contact attempt using a phone
number and/or email address in our records.
Other Policyholder Funds
Other policyholder funds include unearned revenue reserves (URR). URR consists
of front-end loads on investment-oriented contracts, representing those policy
loads that are non-level and typically higher in initial policy years than in
later policy years. URR for investment-oriented contracts are generally
deferred and amortized, with interest, in relation to the incidence of EGPs to
be realized over the estimated lives of the contracts and are subject to the
same adjustments due to changes in the assumptions underlying EGPs as DAC.
Amortization of URR is recorded in policy fees.
Other policyholder funds also include provisions for future dividends to
participating policyholders, accrued in accordance with all applicable
regulatory or contractual provisions. Participating policyholders are the
policyholders who share in our earnings based on provisions within the policy
contract. These dividends are declared annually by our Board of Directors and
may be paid in cash, or they may be applied to reduce future premiums or
purchase additional benefits, or they may be left to accumulate with interest
until a later date. In addition, certain participating whole life insurance
contracts are subject to unique participating policyholder dividend
requirements that are imposed by state law. As such, we established an
additional liability because it is required by statute to return 90 percent of
the profits from the contracts to the policyholders in the form of policyholder
dividends which will be paid in the future but are not yet payable. The profits
used in the liability calculation consist of discrete components for operating
income, realized
52
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
gains and losses and unrealized gains and losses pertaining to the policies and
the assets supporting them. The impact of the unrealized gains and losses
component is recorded through other comprehensive income.
Participating life business represented approximately 1.0 percent of the gross
insurance in force at December 31, 2014 and 6.0 percent of gross premiums in
2014. Policyholder dividends were $28 million, $28 million and $35 million in
2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and are included in policyholder benefits in
the Statements of Income.
Certain products are subject to experience adjustments. These include group
life and group medical products, credit life contracts, accident and health
insurance contracts/riders attached to life policies and, to a limited extent,
reinsurance agreements with other direct insurers. Ultimate premiums from these
contracts are estimated and recognized as revenue, and the unearned portions of
the premiums recorded as liabilities. Experience adjustments vary according to
the type of contract and the territory in which the policy is in force and are
subject to local regulatory guidance.
11.VARIABLE LIFE AND ANNUITY CONTRACTS
We report variable contracts within the separate accounts when investment
income and investment gains and losses accrue directly to, and investment risk
is borne by, the contract holder and the separate account meets additional
accounting criteria to qualify for separate account treatment. The assets
supporting the variable portion of variable annuity and variable universal life
contracts that qualify for separate account treatment are carried at fair value
and reported as separate account assets, with an equivalent summary total
reported as separate account liabilities.
Policy values for variable products and investment contracts are expressed in
terms of investment units. Each unit is linked to an asset portfolio. The value
of a unit increases or decreases based on the value of the linked asset
portfolio. The current liability at any time is the sum of the current unit
value of all investment units in the separate accounts, plus any liabilities
for guaranteed minimum death or guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits included
in future policy benefits or policyholder contract deposits, respectively.
Amounts assessed against the contract holders for mortality, administrative,
and other services are included in revenue. Net investment income, net
investment gains and losses, changes in fair value of assets, and policyholder
account deposits and withdrawals related to separate accounts are excluded from
the Statements of Income, Comprehensive Income and Cash Flows.
Variable annuity contracts may include certain contractually guaranteed
benefits to the contract holder. These guaranteed features include guaranteed
minimum death benefits (GMDB) that are payable in the event of death, and
living benefits that are payable in the event of annuitization, or, in other
instances, at specified dates during the accumulation period. Living benefits
include guaranteed minimum income benefits (GMIB), guaranteed minimum
withdrawal benefits (GMWB), and guaranteed minimum account value (GMAV). A
variable annuity contract may include more than one type of guaranteed benefit
feature; for example, it may have both a GMDB and a GMWB. However, a
policyholder can only receive payout from one guaranteed feature on a contract
containing a death benefit and a living benefit, i.e. the features are mutually
exclusive. A policyholder cannot purchase more than one living benefit on one
contract. The net amount at risk for each feature is calculated irrespective of
the existence of other features; as a result, the net amount at risk for each
feature is not additive to that of other features.

GMDB and GMIB
Depending on the contract, the GMDB feature may provide a death benefit of
either (a) total deposits made to the contract less any partial withdrawals
plus a minimum return or (b) the highest contract value attained, typically on
any anniversary date minus any subsequent withdrawals following the contract
anniversary. GMIB guarantees a minimum level of periodic income payments upon
annuitization. GMDB is our most widely offered benefit; our variable annuity
contracts may also include GMIB to a lesser extent.
The liabilities for GMDB and GMIB, which are recorded in future policyholder
benefits, represent the expected value of the guaranteed benefits in excess of
the projected account value, with the excess recognized ratably over the
accumulation period based on total expected assessments, through policyholder
benefits. The net amount at risk for GMDB represents the amount of benefits in
excess of account value if death claims were filed on all contracts on the
balance sheet date.
The following table presents details concerning our GMDB exposures, by benefit

We regularly evaluate estimates used to determine the GMDB liability and adjust
the additional liability balance, with a related charge or credit to
policyholder benefits and losses incurred, if actual experience or other
evidence suggests that earlier assumptions should be revised.
The following assumptions and methodology were used to determine the reserve
for GMDB at December 31, 2014:
.. Data used was up to 500 stochastically generated investment performance
scenarios.
.. Mean investment performance assumption was 8.5 percent.
.. Volatility assumption was 16.0 percent.
.. Mortality was assumed to be 89.6 percent to 138.7 percent of the 2012
individual annuity mortality table.
.. Lapse rates vary by contract type and duration and range from zero percent
to 37.0 percent.
54
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
.. The discount rate ranged from 5.5 percent to 10.0 percent and is based on
the growth rate assumptions for the underlying contracts in effect at the
time of policy issuance.
GMWB and GMAV
Certain guaranteed benefit and equity index features, which are recorded in
policyholder contract deposits, are bifurcated from the host contract and
accounted for separately as embedded policy derivatives at fair value, with
changes in fair value recognized in net realized capital gains (losses) in the
Statements of Income. These include GMWB, GMAV as well as equity index
annuities and equity index universal life contracts, which offer a guaranteed
minimum interest rate plus a contingent return based on some internal or
external equity index.
Certain of our variable annuity contracts contain optional GMWB and, to a
lesser extent, GMAV benefits, which are not currently offered. With a GMWB, the
contract holder can monetize the excess of the guaranteed amount over the
account value of the contract only through a series of withdrawals that do not
exceed a specific percentage per year of the guaranteed amount. If, after the
series of withdrawals, the account value is exhausted, the contract holder will
receive a series of annuity payments equal to the remaining guaranteed amount,
and, for lifetime GMWB products, the annuity payments continue as long as the
covered person(s) are living. With a GMAV benefit, the contract holder can
monetize the excess of the guarantee amount over the account value of the
contract, provided the contract holder persists until the maturity date.
The fair value of our GMWB and GMAV embedded policy derivatives was a net
liability of $698 million and a net asset of $89 million at December 31, 2014
and 2013, respectively. We had account values subject to GMWB and GMAV that
totaled $30.0 billion and $23.0 billion at December 31, 2014 and 2013,
respectively. The net amount at risk for GMWB represents the present value of
minimum guaranteed withdrawal payments, in accordance with contract terms, in
excess of account value. The net amount at risk for GMAV represents the present
value of minimum guaranteed account value in excess of the current account
balance, assuming no lapses. The net amount at risk related to these guarantees
was $269 million and $51 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
We use derivative instruments and other financial instruments to mitigate a
portion of the exposure that arises from GMWB and GMAV benefits.

FHLB Borrowings
Membership with the FHLB provides us with collateralized borrowing
opportunities, primarily as an additional source of contingent liquidity. When
a cash advance is obtained, we are required to pledge certain mortgage-backed

ownership interest in the FHLB to secure advances obtained from the FHLB. Upon
any event of default, the FHLB's recovery would generally be limited to the

Other Commitments
SAAMCo is the investment advisor of SunAmerica Money Market Fund (the Fund), a
series of the SunAmerica Money Market Funds, Inc., which seeks to maintain a
stable $1.00 net asset value (NAV) per share. The Fund's market value NAV was
negatively impacted by a loss in 2008 on an asset-backed security (Cheyne).
SAAMCo has provided certain commitments to the Board of Directors of the Fund
to contribute capital to maintain a minimum market value per share up to the
amount of the security loss. Management has also committed that should the
realized loss carryforward from Cheyne eventually expire, SAAMCo will reimburse
the Fund to the extent of the expiration. SAAMCo has recorded a contingent
liability of $1 million for expected future capital contributions as of
December 31, 2014.
Contingencies
Legal Matters
Various lawsuits against us have arisen in the ordinary course of business.
Except as discussed below, we believe it is unlikely that contingent
liabilities arising from litigation, income taxes and other matters will have a
material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.
Regulatory Matters
All fifty states and the District of Columbia have laws requiring solvent life
insurance companies, through participation in guaranty associations, to pay
assessments to protect the interests of policyholders of insolvent life
insurance companies. These state insurance guaranty associations generally levy
assessments, up to prescribed limits, on member insurers in a particular state
based on the proportionate share of the premiums written by member insurers in
the lines of business in which the impaired, insolvent or failed insurer is
engaged. Such assessments are used to pay certain contractual insurance
benefits owed pursuant to insurance policies issued by impaired, insolvent or
failed insurers. Some states permit member insurers to recover assessments paid
through full or partial premium tax offsets. We accrue liabilities for guaranty
fund assessments when an assessment is probable and can be reasonably
estimated. We estimate the liability using the latest information available
from the National Organization of Life and Health Insurance Guaranty
Associations. While we cannot predict the amount and timing of any future
guaranty fund assessments, we have established reserves we believe are adequate
for assessments relating to insurance companies that are currently subject to
insolvency proceedings. We had accrued $12 million for these guaranty fund
assessments at both December 31, 2014 and 2013, which was reported within other
liabilities in the Balance Sheets.
Policyholder benefit expense in 2014 included an increase of approximately $104
million to the estimated reserves for incurred but not reported (IBNR) death
claims. The $104 million reserve increase was in addition to amounts previously
provided for IBNR claims in 2011 and 2012, which totaled $237 million. We are
continuing our efforts to identify deceased insureds and their beneficiaries
who have not presented a valid claim, pursuant to the 2012 resolution of a
multi-state audit and market conduct examination. The 2014 increase in the IBNR
reserve was related primarily to a legacy block of in-force and lapsed small
face amount policies, for which the personal data elements to effect a match
against the Social Security Death Master File are unavailable or incomplete,
such as full legal name, date of birth or Social Security number. In the
process of reviewing these policies as required under the terms of the
regulatory agreement, we have refined estimates of the ultimate cost of these
claims. We believe the reserves for such claims are adequate; however, there
can be no assurance that the ultimate cost will not vary from the current
estimate.
In addition, the state of West Virginia has two lawsuits pending against us
relating to alleged violations of the West Virginia Uniform Unclaimed Property
Act, in connection with policies issued by us and by American General Life and
57
AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Accident Insurance Company (AGLA, which merged into AGL on December 31, 2012).
The State of West Virginia has also filed similar lawsuits against other
insurers.
Various federal, state and other regulatory agencies may from time to time
review, examine or inquire into our operations, practices and procedures, such
as through financial examinations, market conduct exams or regulatory
inquiries. Based on the current status of pending regulatory examinations and
inquiries involving us, we believe it is not likely that these regulatory
examinations or inquiries will have a material adverse effect on our
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Dividends
Dividends that we may pay to the Parent in any year without prior approval of
the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) are limited by statute. The maximum
amount of dividends which can be paid over a rolling twelve-month period to
shareholders of insurance companies domiciled in the state of Texas without
obtaining the prior approval of the TDI is limited to the greater of either 10
percent of the preceding year's statutory surplus or the preceding year's
statutory net gain from operations. Additionally, unless prior approval of the
TDI is obtained, dividends can only be paid out of our unassigned surplus.
Subject to the TDI requirements, the maximum dividend payout that may be made
in 2015 without prior approval of the TDI is $1.9 billion. Dividend payments in
excess of positive retained earnings were classified and reported as a return
of capital.
Statutory Financial Data
We are required to file financial statements prepared in accordance with
statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by state insurance
regulatory authorities. The principal differences between statutory financial
statements and financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP are
that statutory financial statements do not reflect DAC, some bond portfolios
may be carried at amortized cost, investment impairments are determined in
accordance with statutory accounting practices, assets and liabilities are
presented net of reinsurance, policyholder liabilities are generally valued
using more conservative assumptions and certain assets are non-admitted. In
addition, state insurance regulatory authorities have the right to permit
specific practices that deviate from prescribed statutory practices.

15.BENEFIT PLANS
Effective January 1, 2002, our employees participate in various benefit plans
sponsored by AIG, including a noncontributory qualified defined benefit
retirement plan, various stock option and purchase plans, a 401(k) plan and a
post retirement benefit program for medical care and life insurance (the U.S.
Plans). AIG's U.S. Plans do not separately identify projected benefit
obligations and plan assets attributable to employees of participating
affiliates.
We are jointly and severally responsible with AIG and other participating
companies for funding obligations for the U.S. Plans, Employee Retirement
Income Security Act (ERISA) qualified defined contribution plans and ERISA
plans issued

by other AIG subsidiaries (the "ERISA Plans). If the ERISA Plans do not have
adequate funds to pay obligations due participants, the Pension Benefit
Guaranty Corporation or Department of Labor could seek payment of such amounts
from the members of the AIG ERISA control group, including us. Accordingly, we
are contingently liable for such obligations. We believe that the likelihood of
payment under any of these plans is remote. Accordingly, we have not
established any liability for such contingencies.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences
between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and
liabilities, at the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the
temporary differences reverse. The effect of a tax rate change is recognized in
income in the period of enactment. State income taxes are included in income
tax expense.

We are included in the consolidated federal income tax return of our ultimate
parent, AIG Parent. Under the tax sharing agreement with AIG Parent, taxes are
recognized and computed on a separate company basis. To the extent that
benefits for net operating losses, foreign tax credits or net capital losses
are utilized on a consolidated basis, we will recognize tax benefits based upon
the amount of the deduction and credits utilized in the consolidated federal
income tax return.
We calculate current and deferred state income taxes using the actual
apportionment and statutory rates for states in which we are required to file
on a separate basis. In states that have a unitary regime, AIG Parent accrues
and pays the taxes owed and does not allocate the provision or cash settle the
expense with the members of the unitary group. Unlike for federal income tax
purposes, AIG does not have state tax sharing agreements. AIG has determined
that because the unitary tax expense will never be borne by the subsidiaries,
the state tax unitary liability is not included in this separate company
expense.
Assessment of Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance
The evaluation of the recoverability of the deferred tax asset and the need for
a valuation allowance requires us to weigh all positive and negative evidence
to reach a conclusion that it is more likely than not that all or some portion
of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The weight given to the
evidence is commensurate with the extent to which it can be objectively
verified. The more negative evidence that exists, the more positive evidence is
necessary and the more difficult it is to support a conclusion that a valuation
allowance is not needed.
Our framework for assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets requires
us to consider all available evidence, including:
.. the nature, frequency and severity of cumulative financial reporting losses
in recent years;
.. the predictability of future operating profitability of the character
necessary to realize the net deferred tax asset;
.. the carryforward periods for the net operating loss, capital loss and
foreign tax credit carryforwards, including the effect of reversing taxable
temporary differences; and
.. prudent and feasible tax planning strategies that would be implemented, if
necessary, to protect against the loss of deferred tax assets.
As a result of sales in the ordinary course of business to manage the
investment portfolio and the application of prudent and feasible tax planning
strategies in 2014, we determined that an additional portion of the capital
loss carryforwards will more-likely-than-not be realized prior to their
expiration. Accordingly, in 2014, we released $1.2 billion of our deferred tax
asset valuation associated with the capital loss carryforwards, of which $68
million was recognized as a reduction to income and the remainder was allocated
to other comprehensive income.

Accounting For Uncertainty in Income Taxes
The following table presents a reconciliation of the beginning and ending
balances of the total amounts of gross unrecognized tax benefits:
Years Ended
December 31,
------------
(in millions) 2014 2013
------------- ---- ----
Gross unrecognized tax benefits at beginning of year $ 92 $85
Increases in tax position for prior years -- 7
Decreases in tax position for prior years (55) --
---- ---
Gross unrecognized tax benefits at end of year $ 37 $92
==== ===
We regularly evaluate proposed adjustments by taxing authorities. At
December 31, 2014, such proposed adjustments would not have resulted in a
material change to our financial condition. Although it is reasonably possible
that a change in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the
next twelve months, based on the information currently available, we do not
expect any change to be material to our financial condition.
At December 31, 2014 and 2013, our unrecognized tax benefits, excluding
interest and penalties, were $27 million and $36 million, respectively. At
December 31, 2014 and 2013, the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits that, if
recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate were $27 million for
both years.
Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized in
income tax expense. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, we had accrued $7 million
and $16 million, respectively, for the payment of interest (net of the federal
benefit) and penalties. In 2014, we recognized income of $10 million, while in
2013 and 2012, we recognized expense of $6 million and $11 million,
respectively, of interest (net of the federal benefit) and penalties.
We are currently under IRS examination for the taxable year 2006. Although the
final outcome of possible issues raised in any future examination is uncertain,
we believe that the ultimate liability, including interest, will not materially
exceed amounts recorded in the financial statements. Taxable years 2001 to 2013
remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions.
17.RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Events Related to AIG
AIG Parent is subject to regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System (the Federal Reserve) as a systemically important financial
institution (SIFI) pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act. AIG Parent was subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve as
a savings and loan holding company as of March 31, 2014. The Federal Reserve
approved AIG Parent's application to deregister as a savings and loan holding
company effective April 4, 2014. AIG Parent will continue to be supervised by
the Federal Reserve due to its designation by the Financial Stability Oversight
Council as a non-bank SIFI.
On July 1, 2014, as a non-bank SIFI, AIG Parent submitted to its regulators its
initial annual plan for rapid and orderly resolution in the event of material
financial distress or failure, which must meet several specific standards,
including requiring a detailed resolution strategy and analyses of material
entities, organizational structure, interconnections and interdependencies, and
management information systems, among other elements. The public section of the
plan can be found on the websites of the Federal Reserve and the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Federal Reserve has yet to complete the
regulatory framework that will be applicable to AIG Parent as a non-bank SIFI.
On July 18, 2013, the Financial Stability Board (consisting of representatives
of national financial authorities of the G20 nations), in consultation with the
International Association of Insurance Supervisors and national authorities,
identified an initial list of Global Systemically Important Insurers, which
included AIG Parent.

Additional information on AIG Parent is publicly available in AIG Parent's
regulatory filings with the SEC, which can be found at www.sec.gov. Information
regarding AIG Parent as described herein is qualified by regulatory filings AIG
Parent files from time to time with the SEC.
Operating Agreements
Pursuant to a cost allocation agreement, we purchase administrative, investment
management, accounting, marketing and data processing services from AIG Parent
or its subsidiaries. The allocation of costs for investment management services
is based on the level of assets under management. The allocation of costs for
other services is based on estimated level of usage, transactions or time
incurred in providing the respective services. We incurred approximately
$305 million, $297 million and $198 million for such services in 2014, 2013 and
2012, respectively. Accounts payable for such services were $240 million and
$190 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We rent facilities
and provide services on an allocated cost basis to various affiliates. We also
provide shared services, including technology, to a number of AIG's life
insurance subsidiaries. Effective January 1, 2013, we became the service
provider for additional affiliated companies. We earned approximately
$813 million, $805 million and $282 million for such services and rent in 2014,
2013 and 2012, respectively. Accounts receivable for rent and services were
$57 million and $91 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
We pay commissions and fees, including support fees to defray marketing and
training costs, to affiliated broker-dealers for distributing our annuity
products and mutual funds. Amounts incurred related to the broker-dealer
services totaled $55 million, $50 million and $39 million in 2014, 2013 and
2012, respectively. These broker-dealers distribute a significant portion of
our variable annuity products, representing approximately 6.0 percent,
7.0 percent and 8.0 percent of premiums received in 2014, 2013 and 2012,
respectively. These broker-dealers also distribute a significant portion of our
mutual funds, representing approximately 15.0 percent, 16.0 percent and
16.0 percent of sales in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
On February 1, 2004, SAAMCo entered into an administrative services agreement
with our affiliate, The United States Life Insurance Company in the City of New
York (USL) (as successor by merger of First SunAmerica Life Insurance Company
(FSA) with and into USL) whereby SAAMCo will pay to USL a fee based on a
percentage of all assets invested through FSA's variable annuity products in
exchange for services performed. SAAMCo is the investment advisor for certain
trusts that serve as investment options for USL's variable annuity products.
Amounts we incurred under this agreement totaled $6 million, $4 million and
$3 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and are included in other
expenses in our Statements of Income.
On October 1, 2001, SAAMCo entered into two administrative services agreements
with business trusts established by our affiliate, The Variable Annuity Life
Insurance Company (VALIC), whereby the trusts pay SAAMCo a fee based on a
percentage of average daily net assets invested through VALIC's annuity
products in exchange for services performed. Amounts earned by SAAMCo under
this agreement were $18 million, $17 million and $15 million in 2014, 2013 and
2012, respectively, and are net of certain administrative costs incurred by
VALIC of $5 million in each of 2014 and 2013 and $4 million in 2012. The net
amounts earned by SAAMCo are included in other revenue in our Statements of
Income.
Notes of Affiliates
In 2011, we invested $300 million in a 5.57 percent Senior Promissory Note due
September 30, 2014, issued by AIG Life Holdings, Inc. (AIGLH) (formerly known
as SunAmerica Financial Group, Inc.). We received principal payments of
$100 million in each of 2014, 2013 and 2012. As of September 30, 2014, AIGLH
had paid all outstanding principal and interest on this loan, thereby
extinguishing this note. We recognized interest income of $4 million,
$10 million and $16 million on this note during 2014, 2013 and 2012,
respectively.

Selkirk Transactions
During 2013 and 2014, we transferred portfolios of commercial mortgage loans to
newly formed special purpose entities, Selkirk No. 1 Investments (SPV1) and
Selkirk No. 3A Investments (SPV1A), respectively. The transactions involved
securitizations of the transferred loans and we retained significant beneficial
interests in the securitized loans. As consideration for the transferred loans,
we received beneficial interests in loan-backed and structured securities
(Notes) issued by other newly formed special purpose entities, equity interests
in SPV1 and SPV1A, and cash proceeds of $230 million and $144 million from
notes issued to third party investors and an affiliate by other special purpose
entities, Selkirk No. 1 Limited and Selkirk No. 3 Limited, respectively. The
consideration received had an aggregate fair value of $973 million for the SPV1
transaction and $624 million for the SPV1A transaction. AIG Investments
services the securitized commercial mortgage loans on behalf of SPV1 and SPV1A.
We consolidate certain of the special purpose entities in the securitization
structures, some of which are VIEs. See Note 9 for additional disclosures
related to VIEs. As a result, certain of the Notes and our equity interests in
SPV1 and SPV1A are eliminated in consolidation, while the securitized
commercial mortgage loans remain on our Balance Sheets. On a consolidated
basis, the net change in our Balance Sheets as a result of these transactions
consisted of additional assets in the form of cash consideration received,
which was subsequently invested, and the liabilities for notes payable to third
party investors and to an affiliate, VALIC.
Lighthouse VI
During 2013, we, along with VALIC (collectively, the Insurers), executed three
transactions in which a portfolio of securities (Transferred Portfolios) was,
in each transaction, transferred into a newly established Common Trust Fund
(CTF) in exchange for proportionate interests in all assets within each CTF as
evidenced by specific securities controlled by and included within our
representative security account. In each transaction, a portion of our
securities (Exchange Assets) were transferred into the representative security
account of VALIC in exchange for other VALIC securities. Only the transfers of
the Exchange Assets between the Insurers qualify for derecognition treatment
under ASC 860, "Transfers and Servicing," and thus were the only assets
derecognized in the transfer of the Transferred Portfolios into the CTFs. The
securities we received for the transfers of the Exchange Assets were initially
recognized at fair value and will subsequently be carried at accreted value,
based on cash flow projections. We transferred securities with an aggregate
fair value of $7.7 billion into the CTFs for all three transactions and
recognized gains totaling $250 million on the transfer of the Exchange Assets.
AIG Investments manages the portfolio of assets included in the CTFs.
Ambrose Transactions
During 2013 and 2014, we acquired certain financial assets from AIG Parent and
subsequently entered into four related securitization transactions with certain
affiliates and third parties to enhance our statutory risk-based capital ratio,
liquidity and net investment income. The financial assets acquired from AIG
Parent in each transaction consisted of a structured security backed by a
portfolio of structured securities (Repack Note) and were exchanged for an
intraday Demand Note, which was subsequently extinguished. In each
securitization transaction, we transferred a portfolio of high grade corporate
securities and the Repack Note to one of the newly formed special purpose
entities; Ambrose 2, Ambrose 3, Ambrose 5 and Ambrose 6 (the Ambrose entities).
As consideration for the transferred securities, we received beneficial
interests in three tranches of structured securities (Class A1, B, C and X)
issued by each Ambrose entity. The Class A1, B and C Notes were designed to
closely replicate the interest and principal amortization payments of the
transferred securities. The Class X notes were subsequently transferred to AIG
in exchange for cancellation of the Demand Notes described above, which
resulted in capital contributions to us. Each Ambrose entity also issued a
tranche of Class A2 notes to third party investors. Ambrose 6 also issued
Class A1, B and C notes to an affiliate, VALIC, as consideration for similar
transferred financial assets.
Capital commitments from a non-U.S. subsidiary of AIG Parent, which are
guaranteed by AIG Parent, were received by Ambrose 2, Ambrose 3, Ambrose 5 and
Ambrose 6 in the amount of $300 million, $300 million, $400 million and
$200 million, respectively, pursuant to which the promissor will contribute
funds to the respective Ambrose entity upon demand. AIG Parent indirectly bears
the first loss position in each transaction through its ownership of the Class X

notes and its guarantee of the capital commitments. AIG Investments manages the
portfolio of assets on behalf of each Ambrose entity.
Each of the Ambrose entities is a VIE and we consolidate all of the Ambrose
entities. See Note 9 for additional disclosures related to VIEs. The Class A1,
Class B and Class C structured securities we received are eliminated in
consolidation. The notes issued by the Ambrose entities that are held by AIG
Parent, third parties and an affiliate are classified as notes payable. The
Ambrose entities each elected the fair value option for their Class X notes
payable. On a consolidated basis, the Ambrose transactions resulted in an
increase in our assets (Repack Note and cash), liabilities (notes payable) and
AGL shareholder's equity (capital contribution from AIG Parent).

American Home and National Union Guarantees
American Home Assurance Company (American Home) and National Union Fire
Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, Pa. (National Union), indirect wholly owned
subsidiaries of AIG Parent, have terminated the General Guarantee Agreements
(the Guarantees) with respect to our prospectively issued policies and
contracts. The Guarantees terminated on December 29, 2006 (Point of
Termination). Pursuant to their terms, the Guarantees do not apply to any group
or individual policy, contract or certificate issued after the Point of
Termination. The Guarantees will continue to cover policies, contracts and
certificates with issue dates earlier than the Point of Termination until all
insurance obligations under such policies, contracts and certificates are
satisfied in full. American Home's and National Union's audited statutory
financial statements are filed with the SEC in our registration statements for
the variable products that we issued prior to the Point of Termination.
Capital Maintenance Agreement
In March 2011, we entered into a Capital Maintenance Agreement (CMA) with AIG
Parent. Among other things, the CMA provided that AIG Parent would maintain our
statutory-basis total adjusted capital at or above a specified minimum
percentage of our projected Company Action Level Risk-Based Capital. AIG Parent
did not make any capital contributions to us under the CMA in the three years
ended December 31, 2014. As a result of managing capital through internal AIG
Board-approved policies and guidelines, we and AIG agreed to terminate the CMA
effective October 31, 2014.
Financing Agreements
On June 1, 2009, we amended and restated a short-term financing arrangement
with SAFG Retirement Services, Inc. (SAFGRS), whereby we had the right to
borrow up to $500 million from SAFGRS. There was no outstanding balance under
this agreement at December 31, 2014 or 2013. This agreement was terminated as

GIC Assumption
In 2011, we entered into three assignment and assumption agreements with
AIGMFC, certain bank trustees, and three unaffiliated bond issuers (the
Issuers), pursuant to which we assumed all of AIGMFC's obligations under
certain GIC agreements previously entered into between AIGMFC and the bank
trustees which related to certain bond obligations of the Issuers. As part of
this assignment and assumption, we received from AIGMFC amounts that
represented the then-outstanding principal amount of investments under the
referenced GIC agreements, plus related accrued but unpaid interest. We also
entered into a swap with AIG Markets, Inc. (AIG Markets) in connection with
each of these transactions, which, among other things, provides a fee to us for
assuming the obligations under the GIC agreements and economically hedges our
interest rate risk associated with the assumed GICs. Obligations of AIG Markets
under the swaps are guaranteed by AIG Parent.
Other
We engage in structured settlement transactions, certain of which involve
affiliated property and casualty insurers that are subsidiaries of AIG Parent.
In a structured settlement arrangement, a property and casualty insurance
policy claimant has agreed to settle a casualty insurance claim in exchange for
fixed payments over either a fixed determinable period of time or a
life-contingent period. In such claim settlement arrangements, a casualty
insurance claim payment provides the funding for the purchase of a single
premium immediate annuity (SPIA) issued by us for the ultimate benefit of the
claimant. The portion of our liabilities related to structured settlements
involving life contingencies is reported in future policy benefits, while the
portion not involving life contingencies is reported in policyholder contract
deposits. In certain structured settlement arrangements, the property and
casualty insurance company remains contingently liable for the payments to the
claimant. We had liabilities of $1.4 billion at both December 31, 2014 and 2013
related to SPIAs issued by us in conjunction with structured settlement
transactions involving affiliated property and casualty insurers where those
members remained contingently liable for the payments to the claimant. In
addition, we had liabilities for the structured settlement transactions where
the affiliated property and casualty insurers were no longer contingently
liable for the payments to the claimant.
During 2014, we entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with AIG Parent by
which we sold all of our interests in The People's Insurance Company (Group) of
China Limited (PICC Group) to AIG Parent at fair market value, based on the
closing price of the PICC Group shares as quoted on the Hong Kong Stock
Exchange on August 13, 2014. The transaction closed on August 15, 2014 and we
received $484 million as consideration for the sale.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of American Home Assurance Company
We have audited the accompanying statutory basis financial statements of
American Home Assurance Company (the "Company"), which comprise the statements
of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus as of December 31, 2014
and 2013, and the related statements of operations and changes in capital and
surplus and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended

MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the
financial statements in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or
permitted by the New York State Department of Financial Services. Management is
also responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal
control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITY
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based
on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected
depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In
making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the
Company's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in
order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Company's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit
also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and
the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We
believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate
to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
BASIS FOR ADVERSE OPINION ON U.S. GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
As described in Note 1B to the financial statements, the financial statements
are prepared by the Company on the basis of the accounting practices prescribed
or permitted by the New York State Department of Financial Services, which is a
basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
The effects on the financial statements of the variances between the statutory
basis of accounting described in Note 1B and accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America, although not reasonably determinable,
are presumed to be material.
ADVERSE OPINION ON U.S. GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
In our opinion, because of the significance of the matter discussed in the
"Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles"
paragraph, the financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2014 and
2013, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 2014.
OPINION ON STATUTORY BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus
of the Company as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2014, in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or
permitted by the New York State Department of Financial Services, as described
in Note 1B.
EMPHASIS OF MATTERS
As discussed in Notes 1 and 6 to the accompanying financial statements,
effective January 1, 2014, the National Union Admitted Lines Pooling Agreement
and the AIG Property Casualty Surplus Lines Pooling Agreement were amended and
replaced with a combined pooling agreement among the existing companies and AIU
Insurance Company (the "Combined Pooling Agreement"). The Company's financial
information as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014 has therefore been
presented in accordance with the terms of the Combined Pooling Agreement. The
comparative financial statements as of December 31, 2013 and for each of the
years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 are reflective of the National Union
Admitted Lines Pooling Agreement participation percentage that was in place
during those years. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
As discussed in Notes 1, 5 and 6 to the accompanying financial statements, the
Company has entered into significant transactions with certain affiliated
entities. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT STATUTORY BASIS ACCOUNTING POLICIES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. BASIS OF ORGANIZATION AND PRESENTATION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Organization
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
American Home Assurance Company ("the Company" or "American Home") is a direct
wholly-owned subsidiary of AIG Property Casualty U.S., Inc. ("AIG PC US"), a
Delaware corporation, which is in turn owned by AIG Property Casualty Inc.
("AIG PC"), a Delaware corporation. The Company's ultimate parent is American
International Group, Inc. (the "Ultimate Parent" or "AIG"). AIG conducts its
property and casualty operations through multiple line companies writing
substantially all commercial (casualty, property, specialty and financial
liability) and consumer (accident & health and personal lines) both
domestically and abroad. During 2013, Chartis U.S., Inc., Chartis Inc., Chartis
International, LLC, Chartis Property Casualty Company, Chartis Specialty
Insurance Company and Chartis Casualty Company were renamed as AIG Property
Casualty U.S., Inc., AIG Property Casualty Inc., AIG Property Casualty
International, LLC, AIG Property Casualty Company, AIG Specialty Insurance
Company and AIG Assurance Company, respectively.
Effective January 1, 2014, the National Union Admitted Lines Pooling Agreement
(the "Admitted Pooling Agreement") and the AIG Property Casualty Surplus Lines
Pooling Agreement (the "Surplus Pooling Agreement") were amended and replaced
with a combined pooling agreement among the existing companies and AIU
Insurance Company (the "Combined Pooling Agreement"), as listed below (the
"Combined Pool").
The member companies of the 2014 Combined Pool, their National Association of
Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") company codes, inter-company pooling
percentages under the Combined Pooling Agreement, previous participation in the
terminated pools, and states of domicile are as follows:

Refer to Note 6 for additional information on the Combined Pool and the effects
of the changes in the intercompany pooling arrangements (the "2014 Pooling
Restructure Transaction").
The Company accepts commercial business primarily through a network of
independent retail and wholesale brokers and through an independent agency
network. In addition, the Company accepts consumer business primarily through
agents and brokers, as well as through direct marketing, partner organizations
and the internet. There were no Managing Agents or Third party administrators
who placed direct written premium with the Company in an account exceeding more
than 5.0 percent of surplus of the Company for the years ending December 31,
2014 and 2013.

Basis of Presentation
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in
conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York
State Department of Financial Services ("NY SAP"). Certain balances relating to
prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current year's
presentation.
Additionally, the financial statements include the Company's U.S. operations,
its Japan and Argentina branch operations and its participation in the American
International Overseas Association (the "Association"), as described in Note 6.
The Company's financial information as of and for the year ended December 31,
2014 has been presented in accordance with the terms of the Combined Pooling
Agreement. The 2013 and 2012 financial information is reflective of the
Company's Admitted Pooling Agreement participation percentage in place during
those years.
B. Permitted and Prescribed Practices
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NY SAP recognizes only statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted
by the New York State Department of Financial Services ("NY DFS") for
determining and reporting the financial position and results of operations of
an insurance company and for the purpose of determining its solvency under the
New York Insurance Code. The NAIC Statutory Accounting Principles included
within the Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual ("NAIC SAP") have been
adopted as a component of prescribed practices by the NY DFS. The
Superintendent of the NY DFS (the "Superintendent") has the right to permit
other specific practices that differ from prescribed practices.
NY SAP has prescribed the practice of discounting workers' compensation known
case loss reserves on a non-tabular basis. This practice is not prescribed
under NAIC SAP.
With the concurrence of the NY DFS, the Company has also discounted certain of
its asbestos reserves, specifically, those for which future payments have been
identified as fixed and determinable.
NY SAP has prescribed the availability of certain offsets in the calculation of
the Provision for reinsurance which are not prescribed by NAIC SAP. With the
concurrence of NY DFS, the Company has reduced its Provision for reinsurance to
reflect the transfer of the collection risk on certain of the Company's
asbestos related reinsurance recoverables to an authorized third party
reinsurer in connection with its participation in the Combined Pool. For 2013,
the Company applied the specific NY SAP requirements in the determination of
the Provision for reinsurance.
In 2014, the Company received a permitted practice to present the consideration
received in relation to loss reserves transferred as part of the updated and
amended Combined Pooling Agreement transaction within paid losses rather than
as premiums written and earned. For more information, see Note 6. Similarly, in
2013, the Company received a permitted practice to present the consideration
received in relation to loss reserves transferred by novation as negative paid
losses rather than premium written and earned, in relation to the withdrawal of
a foreign affiliate from the Association, as described in Note 6. The Company
requested such permitted practices as it believed the presentation within
premiums would be distortive to the financial statements and not indicative of
the economic substance of the respective transactions.
The use of the aforementioned prescribed and permitted practices has not
affected the Company's ability to comply with the NAIC's risk based capital and
surplus requirements for the 2014, 2013 and 2012 reporting periods.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Financial Statements
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The preparation of statutory financial statements in accordance with NY SAP
requires the application of accounting policies that often involve a
significant degree of judgment. The Company's accounting policies that are most
dependent on the application of estimates and assumptions are considered
critical accounting estimates and are related to the determination of:
.. Reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses ("LAE") including
estimates and recoverability of the related reinsurance assets;
.. Legal contingencies, including those related to the settlement and
adjudication of claims;
.. Other than temporary impairment ("OTTI") losses on investments;
.. Fair value of certain financial assets, impacting those investments
measured at fair value in the Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities,
Capital and Surplus, as well as unrealized gains (losses) included in
capital and surplus; and
.. Income tax assets and liabilities, including the recoverability and
admissibility of net deferred tax assets and the predictability of future
tax operating profitability of the character necessary to realize the net
deferred tax asset.
These accounting estimates require the use of assumptions about matters,
including some that are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. It is
reasonably possible that actual experience may materially differ from the
assumptions used and therefore the Company's statutory financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows could be materially affected.
D. Accounting Policy Differences

E. Significant Statutory Accounting Policies
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Premiums
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Premiums for insurance and reinsurance contracts are recorded as gross premiums
written on the inception date of the policy. Premiums are earned primarily on a
pro-rata basis over the term of the related insurance coverage. Extended
reporting endorsements are reflected as premiums written and are earned on a
pro-rata basis over the stated term of the endorsement unless the term of the
endorsement is indefinite in which case premiums are fully earned at inception
of the endorsement along with the recognition of associated loss and LAE.
Unearned premium reserves are established on an individual policy basis,
reflecting the terms and conditions of the coverage being provided. Unearned
premium reserves include the portion of premiums written relating to the
unexpired terms of coverage as of the date of the financial statements. For
policies with coverage periods equal to or greater than thirteen months and
generally not subject to cancellation or modification by the Company, premiums
are earned using a prescribed percentage of completion method.
Reinsurance premiums under a reinsurance contract are typically earned over the
same period as the underlying policies, or risks, covered by the contracts. As
a result, the earnings pattern of a reinsurance contract generally written for
a 12-month term may extend up to 24 months, reflecting the inception dates of
the underlying attaching policies throughout the 12-month period of the
reinsurance contract. Reinsurance premiums ceded are recognized as a reduction
in revenues over the period reinsurance coverage is provided.
Insurance premiums billed and outstanding for 90 days or more are nonadmitted
and deducted from Unassigned surplus.
Premiums for retrospectively rated contracts are initially recorded based on
the expected loss experience, based upon historical ratios of retrospectively
rated loss development and earned on a pro-rata basis over the term of the
related insurance coverage. Additional or returned premium is recorded if the
estimated loss experience differs from the initial estimate and is immediately
recognized in earned premium. The Company records accrued retrospectively rated
premiums as written premiums.
Gross written premium net of ceded written premium ("Net written premiums")
that were subject to retrospective rating features as of December 31, 2014,
2013 and 2012 were as follows:

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the admitted portion of accrued premiums
related to the Company's retrospectively rated contracts were $694,174 and
$938,213, respectively, which will be billed in future periods based primarily
on the payment of the underlying expected losses and LAE. Unsecured amounts
associated with these accrued retrospective premiums were $144,799 and $211,983
as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Ten percent of the amount of
accrued retrospective premiums receivable not offset by retrospective return
premiums or other liabilities to the same party, other than loss and LAE
reserves, or collateral (collectively referred to as the unsecured amount) have
been nonadmitted. The following table represents the reconciliation of total
accrued retrospective premiums to the admitted amounts:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DECEMBER 31, 2014 2013
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total accrued retrospective premium $ 713,461 $ 965,890
Less: nonadmitted amount (10 percent) (13,151) (19,017)
Less: nonadmitted for any person for whom agents'
balances or uncollected premiums are nonadmitted (6,136) (8,660)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADMITTED AMOUNTS $ 694,174 $ 938,213
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adjustments to premiums for changes in the level of exposure to insurance risk
are generally determined based upon audits conducted after the policy
expiration date.
The Company establishes loss reserves for high deductible policies net of the
insured's contractual deductible (such deductibles are referred to as "reserve
credits"). The Company establishes a nonadmitted asset for 10 percent of paid
losses recoverable in excess of collateral held on an individual insured basis,
or for 100 percent of paid losses recoverable where no collateral is held and
amounts are outstanding for more than ninety days. Additionally, the Company
establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts for such paid losses recoverable
in excess of collateral and after nonadmitted assets. Similarly, the Company
does not recognize reserve credit offsets where such credits are deemed
uncollectible, as the Company ultimately bears credit risk on the underlying
policies' insurance obligations. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the amounts
of offsetting reserve credits on unpaid claims, recoverable on paid claims and
nonadmitted balances were:
DECEMBER 31, 2014 2013
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reserve Credits on Unpaid Claims $ 3,698,401 $ 4,270,652
Recoverable on Paid Claims 110,084 114,716
Nonadmitted Balance 21,058 24,686
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For warranty insurance, the Company generally provides reimbursement coverage
on service contracts issued by an authorized administrator and sold through a
particular retail channel. Premiums are recognized over the life of the policy
in proportion to the expected loss emergence. The expected loss emergence can
vary substantially by policy due to the characteristics of products sold by the
retailer, the terms and conditions of service contracts sold as well as the
duration of original warranties provided by the equipment manufacturer, if any.
Deposit Accounting
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Direct insurance transactions where management determines insufficient
insurance risk transfer are recorded as deposits unless the policy was issued
(i) in respect of the insured's requirement for evidence of coverage pursuant
to applicable statutes (insurance statutes or otherwise), contractual terms or
normal business practices, (ii) in respect of an excess insurer's requirement
for an underlying primary insurance policy in lieu of self-insurance, or
(iii) in compliance with filed forms, rates and/or rating plans.
Assumed and ceded reinsurance contracts which do not transfer a sufficient
amount of insurance risk are recorded as deposits with the net consideration
paid or received recognized as a deposit asset or liability, respectively.
Deposit assets are admitted if (i) the assuming company is licensed, accredited
or qualified by the NY DFS, or (ii) the collateral (i.e., funds withheld,
letters of credit or trusts) provided by the reinsurer meets all the
requirements of the NY SAP, as applicable. The deposit asset or liability is
adjusted by calculating the effective yield on the deposit to reflect the
actual payments made or received to date and expected future payments with a
corresponding credit or charge to Other Income in the Statements of Operations.
Deposit assets are recorded to Other assets within the Statements of Admitted
Assets, refer to Note 11A. Deposit liabilities and deposit liabilities - funds
held are recorded to Other liabilities within the Statements of Liabilities,
Capital and Surplus, refer to Note 11B.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Premium Deficiency
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company periodically reviews its expected ultimate losses with respect to
its unearned premium reserves. A premium deficiency loss and related liability
is established if the unearned premium reserves and related investment income
are collectively not sufficient to cover the expected ultimate loss projection.
As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not incur any premium
deficiency losses.
Retroactive Reinsurance
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Transactions involving the transfer of loss and LAE reserves associated with
loss events that occurred prior to the effective date of the transfer are
recorded as retroactive reinsurance and reported separately from Reserves for
loss and loss adjustment expenses in the Statements of Liabilities, Capital and
Surplus. Initial gains or losses are recorded in Other Income within the
Statements of Operations. Any resulting surplus gains are separately identified
as Special surplus funds from retroactive reinsurance within Capital and
surplus and are restricted for dividend payment. Amounts recorded in Special
surplus funds from retroactive reinsurance are amortized into Unassigned
surplus when actual retroactive reinsurance recovered exceeds the consideration
paid. The special surplus from retroactive reinsurance for each respective
retroactive reinsurance agreement shall be reduced at the time the ceding
entity begins to recover funds from the assuming entity in amounts exceeding
the consideration paid by the ceding entity under such agreement, or adjusted
due to changes in reserves ceded under the contract. For each agreement, the
reduction in the special surplus is limited to the lesser of amounts recovered
in excess of consideration paid or the initial surplus gain. Any remaining
balance in the special surplus from retroactive reinsurance derived from any
such agreement shall be returned to Unassigned surplus upon elimination of all
policy obligations.
To the extent that the transfer of loss and LAE reserves is between affiliated
entities and neither entity records a gain or loss, the transaction is
accounted for as prospective reinsurance.
Insurance Related Acquisition Costs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commissions, premium taxes, and certain underwriting costs are expensed as
incurred and are included in Other underwriting expenses incurred. The Company
records a ceding commission liability equal to the excess of the ceding
commissions received from reinsurers compared to the acquisition cost of the
business ceded. The liability is amortized over the effective period of the
reinsurance agreement in proportion to the amount of insurance coverage
provided.
Provisions for Allowances and Unauthorized or Overdue Reinsurance
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The recoverability of certain assets, including insurance receivables with
counterparties, is reviewed periodically by management. Amounts deemed
uncollectible are reduced, with the required statutory basis provision for
reinsurance deducted from surplus and reflected as a liability in Provision for
reinsurance. Various factors are taken into consideration when assessing the
recoverability of these balances including: the age of the related amounts due
and the nature of the unpaid balance; disputed balances, historical recovery
rates and any significant decline in the credit standing of the counterparty.
Following the 2014 Pooling Restructure Transaction, the accounting practices
prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Department of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania ("PA SAP") are applied in the determination of the Company's
Provision for reinsurance. For 2013 and 2012, NY SAP was applied in the
determination of the Provision for reinsurance.
Loss and Loss Adjustment Expenses
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reserves for case, IBNR and LAE losses are determined on the basis of actuarial
specialists' evaluations and other estimates, including historical loss
experience. The methods of making such estimates and for establishing the
resulting reserves are reviewed and updated based on available information, and
any resulting adjustments are recorded in the period they are determined.
Accordingly, newly established reserves for losses and LAE, or subsequent
changes, are charged to income as incurred. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers
are estimated in a manner consistent with the claim liability associated with
the reinsurance policy based upon the terms of the underlying contract. See
Note 5 for further discussion of policies and methodologies for estimating the
liabilities and losses.

Structured Settlements
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into structured
settlements to settle certain claims. Structured settlements involve the
purchase of an annuity by the Company, generally from life insurers, to fund
future claim obligations. In the event the life insurers providing the annuity
do not meet their obligations, the Company would, in certain cases, become
liable for the payments of benefits. As of December 31, 2014, the Company has
not incurred a loss and there has been no default by any of the life insurers
included in the transactions and the Company has not reduced its loss reserves
for any annuities purchased where it is both the owner and the payee.
Management believes that based on the financial strength of the life insurers
involved (mostly affiliates) the likelihood of the Company becoming liable, and
therefore incurring an incremental loss, is remote.
The estimated loss reserves eliminated by such structured settlement annuities
and the unrecorded loss contingencies are $1,135,621 as of December 31, 2014.
As of December 31, 2014, the Company had annuities with aggregate statement
values in excess of 1 percent of its policyholders' surplus with life insurer
affiliates as follows:
