Re:    Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (“Great-West”)
COLI VUL-2 Series Account (“Registrant”)
Post-Effective Amendment No. 29 to Registration Statement on Form N-6 (“Amendment”)
File Nos. 333-70963 & 811-09201

Commissioners:

On behalf of Great-West and the above-named Registrant and pursuant to Rule 485(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), filed herewith is one electronically formatted copy of the above-captioned Amendment to Registrant’s registration statement on Form N-6 for a flexible premium variable universal life insurance policy (the “Policy”).

The Amendment reflects changes in response to comments of the Commission staff (“Staff”) on post-effective amendment No. 28 to Registrant’s registration statement, filed pursuant to Rule 485(a) under the Securities Act on February 28, 2014, and makes other changes to update information required to be updated annually. The changes are reflected in both prospectuses included in the Registration Statement: Executive Benefit VUL-II and Executive Benefit VUL.

Set forth below is each Staff comment, communicated by telephone call to Registrant’s outside counsel on April 4, 2014, by Mr. Mark Cowan of the Commission’s Insured Investments Office, followed by Registrant’s response.

Comment No. 1

In paragraph 11 on page 6 of the “Summary” section under “Paid-Up Life Insurance,” explain what “paid-up” insurance means. 

Response

Comment complied with by adding, in each prospectus, an explanatory sentence and an explanatory clause in the sections entitled “Paid-Up Insurance.”

Comment No. 2

In the “Policy Risks” section on page 7, add disclosure addressing credit risk of the insurer.

Response

Comment complied with by adding, in each prospectus, a new section 9 under “Policy Risks” entitled “General Account Risk.”

Comment No. 3

In the “Loans” section on pages 35-36, disclose how to obtain the current loan interest rate.

Response

Comment complied with by adding a sentence in the “Loans” section of each prospectus indicating that specific loan interest rate information may be obtained by calling a specified telephone number.

Comment No. 4

Consider disclosing the spread in the Fee Table (on page 9 under “Loan Interest”) instead of the maximum loan rate as spread is a known figure. 

Response

Upon consideration of the Staff’s comment, no change was made. The maximum interest rate for Policy loans is the Moody’s Corporate Bond Yield Average – Monthly Average Corporates, which is published by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. The spread is not an appropriate figure to include in the Fee Table because it can vary based on certain factors such as the number of years. Accordingly, as required by Form N-6, the maximum loan interest rate is disclosed in the Fee Table.
